OEGTD Chap 2

Chapter 2

"Huh, it's really hard to learn from the ancients!" Li Zexuan said with emotion when he saw Sun Simiao's back.

According to his predecessor's memory, Li Zexuan is currently in the first year of the Emperor's reign. For this era, Li Zexuan is still full of expectations.

Think about the days of Khan, think about IMC to North Korea and think that 1400 years later, there would be Chinatown in the United States. Li Zexuan is full of fire and could not wait to see the feudal dynasty that makes Chinese children are the proudest.

But why don't I have a golden finger? Before crossing over, Li Zexuan has read a lot of novels. These protagonists who pass through will either bring a system that will hang the sky or their memories defy the heavens. Familiar with Tang poems and songs, when there's nothing, they would recite a sing, and then the tiger body will be shocked and countless beauties would throw themselves to his arms.

Keke, thinking about this, Li Zexuan's saliva started to flow over the ground. But... why didn't I come across nothing!

Li Zexuan's previous life was an authentic engineer otaku. After the college entrance examination, all of those Tang poems and songs were returned to his Chinese teacher. He only remembered some very famous chapters. In addition to drawing and writing programs, he usually chats online and plays games with an online girlfriend.

Alas, without golden fingers, how can I live in the Tang Dynasty.

Hey, even without golden fingers, I still have martial arts. Li Zexuan suddenly thought of his body but he had also studied eight years under a Grandmaster.

Li Zexuan returned to his spirit at once and held his body and sat on the bamboo couch. He then tried to meditate according to his method in his memory.

Originally, he was doing this with a trial mentality. Who knew that everything is so natural, in a conditioned reflex, recited the "Great Profound Scripture"'s mantra without feeling jerky.

At this time, Li Zexuan felt there countless flames in the lower abdomen. With the cultivation technique, these small flames seemed to hear instructions, swimming over the limbs according to a specific trajectory over and over again.

Li Zexuan felt warm all over his body, and the fractures in his arms and knees were a little bit itchy, making people want to scratch. Forcing to resist the desire of scratching, Li Zexuan continued to practice the exercise according to the methods in his memory.

After running for thirty-six cycles, Li Zexuan opened his eyes and spat a mouthful of impure air. He looked up and saw that the sky was dark outside, and could not help but sigh how time passed quickly.

Feeling his physical condition, he couldn't help but widen his eyes; his limbs were not as painful anymore and even felt his body was full of strength. 

Isn't hurt bones last a hundred days? I fell from the mountain and suffered multiple fractures a few days ago.

Did running "Great Profound Scripture" speed the injury recovery?

With no reason could be found, Li Zexuan could only the injury recovery to the magic of "Great Profound Scripture".

As a young man in the 21st century, Li Zexuan did not expect martial arts to be real.

According to the memory of his predecessor, the "Great Profound Scripture" is regarded as a top-level internal strength cultivation method in Jianghu. It is divided into ten layers and Li Zexuan had practiced for eight years and reached the 5th layer so his power is of extreme force. Li Zexuan's master Daoist Ling Xu reached the 9th layer and his strength was regarded as one of the best Grandmasters in Jianghu.

"Huh, I didn't expect that the martial experts are like the high drama in TV series, so I will be a hero in the future, haha!" Li Zexuan thought excitedly.

"This "Great Profound Scripture" is really good stuff. I will practice harder in the future the 9th Layer as soon as possible. Then I can go high and higher and if I have nothing to do, I can peep a lady from a wealthy family, hehe!"

"Gu gu", then two protests suddenly came from the stomach. Hey, get up and get something to eat and see what Old Sun can eat here.

Li Zexuan got up and walked towards the kitchen.

"There is only flour, green vegetables, no rice, no eggs, no chicken, duck, and fish meat, so blue. It seems that I can only eat two bowls of noodle soup."

In the past, Li Zexuan was a rural baby and his family condition was not good. As the saying goes, the child of the poor matures early and Li Zexuan had no problem cooking. He usually cooked when he reunited with his little girlfriend Wu Xiaoqian because she liked the food he cooked.

In the small rental house of more than 30 meters square, when two people are together, they enjoy the feeling of one person cooking and the other is watching. It felt like a small family with a touch of warmth.

Forget it, don't think about this, just fill your stomach and talk about this. After a while, Li Zexuan started to make noodles skillfully, knead the dough, cut the noodles, boil the water, and put in the pot. After five minutes, he turned off the flames and put vegetables and salt in it. No oil could be found so he just had to eat it. After not eating for one day, Li Zexuan ate three bowls and put down the tableware with satisfaction.

After packing the tableware, Li Zexuan sat on the bamboo couch and began to think about what to do in the future.

Going to be an official?

Li Shimin has a galaxy of talents. In Literature, there is a plot to break Wei Zheng and in Military, there is Wu You, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin and other generals, what can I do?

Besides, Li Zexian's previous life was an otaku and his interpersonal communication skill is lackluster. If he wanted to mix with the officialdom, how could he do it without being smooth, long sleeves, and good dancing skills?

To be an errant knight?

This body's wish was to go home and visit his parents and enter Jianghu. Although his martial arts is good, there are heavens beyond the heavens and a person beyond a person. When I entered Jianghu, didn't I slap myself in the face?

It's hard to relive again, you have to cherish your life. Besides, with no plane or trains in this era, it would be so tiring and bumping to go out, and how tiring it is to run around!

Thinking about this, Li Zexuan felt it was better to go home and be a rich spoiled kid.

Having lived a lifetime again, and lost the love and affection in his previous life, Li Zexuan cherished everything he had now. What's the use of earning so much money and being so tired at the same time> Many come and go in a hurry but ignore the scenery of the journey. Li Zexuan decided that he should live well in this life, protect the people he cares about, and live happily all his life.

From the memory he got, he knows that his parents loved him very much. When he was young, they've tried to treat him and did not hesitate to sacrifice their living for it. This made Li Zexuan very touched.

Poor parents in this world, the most unselfish love in the world comes from parents, and their love for their children really has no conditions.

He couldn't help but think about his parents in his previous life, his father faced loess and turned his back to dig the earth to transform into land where he could get the money needed for him to study. For more than ten years, the wind and sun still blowing, his father never called out the bitterness and tiredness but the years are like a pig-killing knife. No matter how Father insists, the years have whitened his father's hair and bent his father's back. Thinking of his aging father, Li Zexuan could not help but be heartbroken.

Alas, it’s not easy to be a parent, buddy, let’s go with peace of mind, your parents will be honored! Dad, Mom, son can't go back anymore, you take care of yourself, I'm no longer studying so you don’t have to work so hard, you have to live for yourself for the rest of your life! Zexuan let you down!

After making up his mind, Li Zexuan lay on the bamboo couch and began to fall asleep...

Translation Note:  Great Profound Scripture is in pinyin Tai Xuan Jing and I've recently discovered that it could also be translated into Canon of Supreme Mystery.
