I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 42 Ten Years
It was unknown how long it had been before Li Ming suddenly came to his senses. The white cloth in front of him was no longer a bunch of messy lines that were either light or dark, but neatly arranged Chinese characters.

Li Ming rubbed his eyes in disbelief, only to find that it was indeed a mnemonic, not a doodle.

"How could this happen?" Li Ming asked subconsciously.

Fuyouzi looked at him with great concern and asked, "What did you see?"

Li Ming said foolishly, "When chaos first began, the world was in turmoil. All creatures competed to be the first to spread the knowledge. The sun and the moon rotated, and in an instant, the apes became the master. It was forged by sparks. The copper and iron furnaces were blazing. How could I guess when it would be possible? It's only been a few thousand years.

I have watched the snowflakes drift across the world, but I only remember the specks and traces. Yet, the world has changed again, deceiving countless passersby. How many romantic figures are there?

"Oh, it's such a lofty idea, grand and majestic. Not bad, not bad!" Fuyouzi smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

"This is the fundamental method of cultivation given to you by the Tianyan Yijing. Most of your future abilities will come from this."

Li Ming turned to look at He Yi, but found that he had closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep. So he asked cautiously, "Master, what's wrong with him?"

"It's just everyone's fate. Maybe there will be some gains." Fuyouzi said lightly, without showing any disappointment.

Later, Li Ming found out that this piece of white cloth was the inherited treasure of the Tongxuan lineage. It had an extraordinary origin. Not everyone could comprehend the skills from it, but once someone did, it meant that the person had a high level of comprehension, and the skills they comprehended were the most suitable for them.

Of course, sometimes if the heir lacks comprehension and is unable to comprehend the fundamental method of cultivation from this Tianyantu, there is naturally a way. The ancestors of all generations will pass down the skills they have learned from the Tianyantu, and you just need to choose one.

So does it mean that those who have not learned any skills from the Tianyantu are necessarily bad?
That’s not the case, because although there is a threshold for the skills comprehended in the Tianyantu, the upper limit of the ancestors of all generations is also very high.

For example, a person with ten points of comprehension can comprehend a martial art on his own and practice the one that suits him. Another person with nine points of comprehension did not comprehend a martial art that suits him, but chose a martial art with an upper limit of one hundred from the martial arts of the ancestors of past generations.

Even if they cannot restore it 100% and succeed in their cultivation, as long as they can reach a degree of adaptability of more than 10%, it is hard to say what the future achievements of these two people will be.

Therefore, Fuyouzi did not say much about He Yi's performance. He just accepted Li Ming as his eldest disciple and began to teach them Taoism.

Li Ming was very surprised by this. Although according to his calculations, since he was able to open his spiritual intelligence and become a demon bamboo in his previous life, it was normal for there to be some Taoists in this world, he did not expect that he would not have to seek immortals and ask for the way in this life. This ancestor was really trying to feed him.

Fuyuan 5 is no joke!
So Li Ming began his ten-year practice in the mountains.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed. The pine tree at the entrance of the charity cemetery has grown a lot taller.

One day, a carriage stopped at the gate of the charity cemetery.

Li Ming, who had been waiting at the door, smiled slightly and spoke softly.

"Uncle He, you're here?"

Li Ming looked at the housekeeper He, whose hair was already gray and he was a little hunched, and there was a hint of regret on his face.

Steward He laughed heartily and said, "Yes, the master is going to hold a water and land ceremony on July 7th to pray for the souls of the deceased. We would appreciate your help then."

"I understand." Li Ming replied. "Where is your master?" Butler He asked again.

"Master said that we have been practicing for ten years and are more than qualified to preside over this Dharma Assembly. Uncle He, don't worry!" He Yi, no, it should be said that it was Chang Miao who stepped forward with a smile.

"Yes, Uncle He, don't worry. The master basically handed over everything to us in the battle three years ago. He just won't come down the mountain to take charge this time." Li Ming also said with a smile.

"This..." Steward He was startled, looked up at the charity cemetery where there was no other movement, and then said with a smile, "Since it is what the master wants, then I will trouble you two."

"It's no big deal, it's just what I should do!" Li Ming said with a smile.

Chang Miao also patted his chest and said, "Uncle He, you can rest assured. With the two of us brothers taking action, there will definitely be no mistakes!"

Butler He just smiled, then made a gesture to invite the two to get on the carriage.

Then he drove the carriage forward. Although the charity cemetery was built on a mountain, the roads leading to it were extremely spacious. It was said that it was funded by the He family just to make it convenient for Fuyouzi.

However, Li Ming has been in the mountains for so many years, and Fuyouzi has only come down the mountain a few times. Instead, the He family always sends people to ask for advice from time to time.

Sitting in the carriage, Chang Miao looked at the scenery outside the window with curiosity and said jokingly, "Master is good in every way, except for one thing: he never lets us go down the mountain to play. The only time we can go down the mountain is during the water and land ceremony that happens once every three years. It's really not easy! I'm tired of looking at the tree at the door. I can even count how many branches it has."

"It's quiet and comfortable in the mountains, what's wrong with that?" Li Ming said lightly with a calm expression.

"(ˉ▽￣～)Tsk~~" Chang Miao rolled her eyes and said nothing more. After a while, she fell asleep leaning against the window.

Li Ming also sighed helplessly.

Ever since he fell asleep while looking at the Tianyantu that day, Chang Miao became extremely sleepy, and Li Ming got used to it after ten years.

Now Li Ming also roughly knows the relationship between Fuyouzi and the He family. Fuyouzi was born in the Tongxuan lineage of Yuhua Mountain. He has extraordinary abilities and went down the mountain to travel.

But the He family was not ordinary. Three generations of their ancestors had been officials, with the highest position reaching the second rank. However, their careers ended abruptly, and they left behind a family precept that their descendants could never enter the court again.

Although the He family suffered setbacks in officialdom, they were extremely successful in the business world. After several generations of operation, they had become a wealthy family. Their business encompassed everything from rice shops and silk shops for food, clothing, housing and transportation to antiques, collectibles, and luxury goods such as gold and silver jewelry.

As his wealth increased, he unknowingly attracted the envy of others. Some people with ulterior motives secretly harmed him and colluded with evil spirits to use evil magic to confuse Mr. He's mind, attempting to embezzle the He family's huge fortune. However, they were discovered by Fuyouzi when he was traveling.

Fuyouzi was such a great man that the evil demons were no match for him. He broke through his evil spell in a few moves and saved Mr. He. That was why Mr. He wanted to make friends with him and even donated money to build a charity cemetery.

Later, with the guidance of Fuyouzi, the He family began to spend money on charity, which earned them a good reputation among the people. Over the past few decades, the He family made friends with various forces and knew how to make choices. Although their wealth was not as great as before, their prestige and reputation were getting higher and higher every year.

This water and land ceremony was also specially designated by Fuyouzi, and it is held every three years to help the souls of the deceased to ascend to heaven. It accumulates merit for the He family and also earns some Taoist merit for Fuyouzi.
