My Life Simulator

Lu Li and his party hurried to Laojun Mountain in Luoyang.

Fifty-four wrestlers, plus Lu Li himself, a group of fifty-five people galloped on horses, rolling up smoke and dust, and galloping on the post road.

This movement naturally shocked many people.

It's just... Lu Li and his party are almost all tall and strong men with strong deterrence, so naturally no one dares to provoke them.

The Song Dynasty was the dynasty with the most robbers and bandits in all dynasties. Almost every state, prefecture, and even every county had bandits who took over the mountains as kings.

Collecting tolls, or even robbery, is simply the norm!

Lu Li and his party were numerous and strong, and they looked very difficult to mess with. Those bandits who occupy the mountain as kings did not come up to die.

If others didn't come to provoke him, Lu Li naturally didn't bother to suppress the bandits.

All the way through the prefecture and the mansion, all the way is dusty, after ten days, Lu Li and his party finally arrived in Luoyang.

Laojun Mountain is located in Luanchuan and belongs to the remnants of the Qinling Mountains.

According to legend, Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism, practiced here after he went into seclusion, hence the name. In the hands of Song Huizong, who respects Taoism today, Laojun Mountain is revered as a Taoist holy place.

The so-called "Tao Court" refers to Laojun Mountain.

When Lu Li and his party arrived in Luanchuan, there were still three days before the "September 1st" appointment.

Since the appointed time has not yet arrived, Lu Li did not go directly to Laojun Mountain, but stayed in Luanchuan County.

He spent a sum of money to buy a house in Luanchuan County. Lu Li took a group of warriors and settled down in Luanchuan County.

After settling down, Lu Li waited in Luanchuan for three days.

On the first day of September, Lu Li arranged for Shi Gang and others to stand by in the house, and went out to Laojun Mountain early in the morning.

Not long after, Lu Li came to the gate of Laojun Mountain.

Contrary to Lu Li's expectations, the gate of Laojun Mountain is not gorgeous, and it looks a bit run down and outdated. Moreover, there was no disciple guarding the gate at the gate of the mountain.

Is this for me to go up by myself?

Lu Li smiled, but he didn't care, and walked up the mountain.

Walking into the mountain gate, the road behind is also very primitive, just a simple mountain road, not like the bluestone stairs built in Mengshan Road Palace.

Taoism is natural, not fake foreign objects?

True monks are indeed very different from fake Taoists.

Lu Li didn't care either and continued along the mountain road. Along the way, the scenery of Laojun Mountain is very strange.

The so-called "one mountain has four seasons, ten miles of different days" refers to the special climate of Laojun Mountain.

Climbing all the way along the mountain road, waterfalls and springs in the mountains, surrounded by white clouds, it really looks like a fairyland.

To Lu Li's surprise, he didn't see any buildings along the way, and there were absolutely no temples and temples that Lu Li imagined.

Going all the way to the top of the mountain, past the Mazong Ridge, and arrived at the Sheshen Cliff, Lu Li still didn't see any buildings, nor did he see half a person.

This is interesting!

Standing on the top of Laojun Mountain, Lu Li turned his head to look around, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Is this a so-called "entry test"?

Obviously, this is some people's bad taste to make fun of newcomers.

Lu Li could easily think of the reason. The last time Lin Zhengxiao tested Lu Li in the Shuzhou Taoist Academy, he was quite frightened by Lu Li's talent. After returning, he must have talked about "uncommon talent".

Thinking a little deeper, Lin Zhengxiao slumped in front of Lu Li. This time when Lu Li came over, Lin Zhengxiao would definitely return it!

Lu Li could even imagine that someone might be watching a play while hiding by some means now!

Want to see me embarrassed? If you want to see that I can't find the mountain gate, you can only bow your head and surrender?

Ha ha!

Lu Li pouted, then let you see how good I am!

…………

Laojun Temple on the top of Laojun Mountain.

Here is just a quaint and humble temple that looks unremarkable.

However... this is the Taoist court that countless Taoist people in the entire Song Dynasty have been searching for, but they can't get in!

At this moment, in the front yard of Laojun Temple, several men and women in Taoist attire gathered by a small pool. On the clear water, Lu Li's figure suddenly appeared.

"Junior Brother Lin, you said that this Lu Ziming is extremely talented? Can he drive the paper crane to fly during the test?"

A man in Taoist attire in his thirties looked down at the figure on the water and smiled, "I deliberately set up a mirage technique to make the entry test a little more difficult. Look at this talented Lu Ziming, Can you find the mountain gate?"

"Senior Brother Ge, aren't you deliberately making things difficult for people?"

A Taoist nun who was around twenty years old next to him rolled his eyes at Senior Brother Ge, "You are already in the day-travel realm. The mirage technique you performed is difficult for us to crack, let alone Lu Ziming? He hasn't started yet. What? Haven't you practiced yet?"

"Senior Sister Gu, did you see that Lu Ziming was handsome and handsome and couldn't bear it?"

A younger Taoist nun next to her made a joke at Senior Sister Gu.

"Yeah? Little Junior Sister, did you move your heart? Do you want to find a Taoist companion?"

Senior Sister Gu looked at the younger sister with a playful expression on her face.

"Where is it? Don't talk nonsense!"

Little Junior Sister's face flushed and she stomped her feet, "You are laughing at me and ignore you!"

"Alright! Alright!"

Lin Zhengxiao waved his hand, "Watch carefully! Let's see if Lu Ziming can see through the mirage technique."

…………

Clouds shrouded the top of the mountain.

Lu Li stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the surrounding scene, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In this world of spiritual cultivation, the eyes are not trustworthy, and even the five senses are easily disturbed.

What you see, hear, smell, touch, is not necessarily true. Your brain will be fooled by false information!

Eyes will deceive you, but... math won't!

Lu Li smiled and walked towards the north of the top of the mountain. In front of him was a bottomless cliff.

Standing on the top of the cliff, the cliff in front of you is about to fall, and the ancient pine and clouds are next to you. Under the reflection of the rising sun, the afterglow reflects the color of thousands of mountains, and the valleys are scattered into the painting. The magnificent rays of the sun reflect the strange and dangerous peaks and rocks, and there is a kind of indescribable magnificence.

"The scenery is beautiful, it really took a lot of thought, it's not easy!"

Lu Li smiled and shook his head, "It's a pity... the angle of refraction of the light is wrong! The curvature of the horizon is wrong! The closed curve of the contour line is wrong! It's too fake!"

You can fool my eyes, you can interfere with my senses, but...you can't fool math!

After speaking, Lu Li stepped over to the bottomless cliff below!

Stepping out one step, the scene in front of you is like a broken mirror, cracking piece by piece.

"Fuck!"

Just as he stepped out of the illusion, Lu Li heard a strange cry.

The blurred phantoms vanished, and a simple and outdated Taoist temple appeared in front of Lu Li's eyes, with three vigorous characters "Laojun Temple" written on it.

In front of it is a floor. On the green grass floor, next to a pond planted with lotus flowers, there are five men and women in Taoist costumes.

Three men in Taoism and two women in Taoism. Among them was Lin Zhengxiao, whom Lu Li had seen before.

At this moment, the five men and women in Taoist attire stared wide-eyed and looked at Lu Li in horror.

"Immeasurable, such a celestial being, you're still not human!"

Lin Zhengxiao stepped up and stared at Lu Li, "You can actually see through Brother Ge's mirage technique? It's a Dao technique of the day travel realm! How could you see it?"

Having said that, Lin Zhengxiao felt very comfortable. I'm not the only one slumped! Even Brother Ge was shriveled! Seeing others have fallen just like me, I feel more balanced!

"awesome!"

A Taoist nun in her twenties next to him nodded in admiration to Lu Li, "You can make Senior Brother Ge collapse, Junior Brother Lu, you are amazing!"

"Senior Brother Lu is amazing!"

A little girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, with a flushed face, was clapping her hands and cheering.

"It does have some skills!"

A young Taoist priest with a long sword on his back and a cold face nodded to Lu Li expressionlessly.

"My mirage technique, was broken?"

The eldest Senior Brother Ge had a dull expression on his face, "What is the angle of refraction of light? What is the curvature of the horizon? What is the closed contour curve?"

Lu Li raised his eyes and glanced at the crowd, thinking to himself: These should be fellow disciples of the Taoist court.

"Lu Li has met all of you!"

With a Dao Ji on his hand, Lu Li bowed to the crowd.

"You're welcome! You're welcome!"

"We don't pay attention to this!"

Everyone hurriedly greeted Lu Li.

"Junior Brother Lu, come, let me introduce you."

Lin Zhengxiao pulled Lu Li over and introduced Lu Li: "The oldest is Senior Brother Ge Zhenghong, the one with a cold face is Senior Brother Liu Zhengyun, here is Senior Sister Gu Zhengxuan, and the youngest is Senior Sister Sun Zhenglin."

So... this is the "orthodox" style?

Is there a word for "zhi"? Is there anyone named Yin Zhiping? I want to talk to him!

Lu Xin groaned for a while, and then bowed to everyone, "I've seen you all from the same door!"

"Junior Brother Lu, I have something to ask!"

Just after the ceremony was over, Ge Zhenghong hurriedly approached Lu Li, "What are the angle of refraction of light, the curvature of the horizon, and the closed contour curve you just mentioned?"

"This...that's a long story!"

The scope of knowledge involved in these questions is a bit large, and Lu Li didn't know how to start, so he had to say, "I'll discuss it with my senior brother later, how about it?"

"well!"

Ge Zhenghong nodded again and again.

"Junior Brother Lu, I'll take you to report first!"

Lin Zhengxiao pulled Lu Li up and walked towards the Laojun Temple in front of him.

Although Laojun Temple is simple and old, the area is not small, and there are many palaces and buildings in it.

Lin Zhengxiao took Lu Li into the Laojun Temple, and while walking, he said to Lu Li, "Junior Brother Lu, a new disciple of the Dao Court, first go to the Hall of Transcripts to give the name to Lu Li."

The Hall of Transcripts... Well, is the organization of the Taoist Court the same as the outside?

Lu Li didn't care either, and followed Lin Zhengxiao to the Hall of Biography.

After a while, Lu Li came to a very simple and simple hall. This is the Hall of Biography of the Taoist Court.

Walking to the entrance of the Hall of Transcripts, Lin Zhengxiao reported to the inside: "Master Tan, the new disciple Lu Li brought it here."

"Come in!" A cold answer came from inside.

"Yes!"

Lin Zhengxiao pushed open the door and walked out, and led Lu Li into the Hall of Biography.

The scripture hall in front of you is far worse than the scripture hall of Mengshan Taoist Palace. There are no carved beams and painted buildings, no various exquisite furnishings, and it looks very old and simple.

Above the hall, a middle-aged Taoist priest in his forties sat cross-legged in front of the table. There is no immortal style and bones on his body, only a pair of eyes looks very godly.

"New disciple Lu Li, I have seen Master Tan."

The middle-aged Taoist priest in the Lu Li court bowed and saluted.

"Are you Lu Li Lu Ziming who passed the excellent test?"

Master Tan raised his eyes to look at Lu Li, and nodded slightly, "Yes! You are the only entry-level disciple who has passed the entrance exam from the secular Taoist school this year. It's really not bad!"

"Uncle Master has won the prize!"

Lu Li bowed his hands and thanked him, and then... took the opportunity to activate the mind connector and copy and download what Master Tan had learned.

Next, Lu Li entered the book in the Hall of Biography, and taught him to enter the Dao. Because of the issue of seniority, Lu Li's Dao name became "Lu Zhengming", and he was awarded the Taoist's casket!

The secular Taoist door is called Daoyi, and in the Taoist court it is called Daolu.

This Daolu is somewhat similar to the Longhushan gift Lu Li has seen before, and it is also a kind of identity.

It's just... Is it like Longhu Mountain Daolu, which represents "someone above", you can use Daolu's phone number to call for rescue, I don't know.

After completing the bookmaking and teaching, Lu Li also copied everything Tan Shishu had learned.

Next, Lin Zhengxiao brought Lu Li to the chores hall, received the "uniform" and "waist badge", and assigned a dormitory, and then completed the "new student registration" procedure.

Why are there no procedures for "seeing the head teacher" and "receiving books"?

Lu Li asked Lin Zhengxiao, "Senior Brother Lin, do I still need to be a teacher? How can I get taught the practice?"

"Not urgent!"

Lin Zhengxiao smiled, "You're just getting started, and for the time being you're cultivating the basic concept of 'Liu Li Guan', I'll pass it on to you. As for apprenticeships, I haven't found a master yet!"

"Eh? Why is that?"

Lu Li was stunned for a moment. Could it be that the inheritance of the Taoist court is no longer a master-apprentice model, but a more advanced academy model?

"Masters and uncles are also busy practicing!"

Lin Zhengxiao explained: "The realm of the masters and uncles is the realm of transcending tribulation, ghosts and immortals. Divine soul transcending tribulation, thunder bombardment, how dangerous is this? If you are not careful, life and death will be wiped out, and you are too busy. Who has time to come? Teaching disciples?"

Well, that's a great deal!

Even if you are still terrified in your own practice, who is still worried about teaching disciples? Take care of yourself first.

"Then...how do we cultivate?"

Lu Li can copy and download it, but others don't have the ability. How did they cultivate? Don't need guidance?

"There are elders teaching!"

Lin Zhengxiao introduced: "Some day-travel elders, who have no hope of surviving the calamity, are specially responsible for teaching their disciples. From recuperation to day-travel, there are people who teach them. When it comes to surviving the calamity, just ask the elders of the teacher's sect for advice."

This is also a college model.

Lu Li nodded, no need to ask a teacher, it's not necessary to find a teacher for nothing, and there's no need to kowtow and salute.

Anyway, I find time to visit everyone in the Taoist court once, and I can scavenge everything they have learned.
