In the 1980s, near the outskirts of the capital city, there was a dilapidated Taoist temple.
A twenty-year-old young man sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion.
Bai Tian Yu sat on the cushion, bored, thinking about something. He really didn't know what to do.
Although the golden light in his body was abundant, it was still too little.
Compared to the masters in the world of "Yi Ren Zhi Xia", he was basically just a drop in the ocean.
What should he do?
He had been here for almost forty years, and his cultivation progress was slow.
The Qi in his body was truly pitiful.
In fact, Bai Tian Yu wasn't originally from this place. He was a time traveler. He thought he had been reborn.
Who knew he would end up in the 1980s? This was his grandpa's era, for crying out loud!
It wasn't until he met two people that Bai Tian Yu understood he had time traveled, and he had traveled to the world he least expected.
It was the world of tomb raiding!
The two people he met were Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi, both from the same courtyard as him.
That's right, his parents in this life were soldiers, serving alongside the parents of Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi.
However, unlike them, Bai Tian Yu's parents had passed away, making him an orphan from a young age.
If it weren't for these two good brothers, Wang Pang Zi and Hu Ba Yi, he would have suffered a lot.
After all, there were many young hooligans in those days!
But because of the Qi in his body, Bai Tian Yu parted ways with Lao Hu and Wang Pang Zi when he went to university.
Lao Hu and Wang Pang Zi went to the countryside, but Bai Tian Yu entered a Taoist temple and became a monk.
(From now on, he will be referred to as Lao Hu, or Hu Si Ling)
Of course, he was a lay disciple. However, the temple's incense was not good, and after Bai Tian Yu joined, he basically never saw anyone.
After the previous headmaster passed away, Bai Tian Yu took over the temple, becoming the new headmaster.
The reason Bai Tian Yu joined the temple was because he had two cultivation techniques in his mind since he was a child: one was the Golden Light Spell (Jin Guang Zhou), the other was the Five Thunderbolt Righteous 法 (Wu Lei Zheng Fa).
So after his parents died, Bai Tian Yu left the capital city and entered the Taoist temple.
After entering the mountains, his cultivation speed indeed increased, but for the past five years, there had been no progress at all.
Bai Tian Yu was speechless, not understanding what was going on.
Could it be that the nearby spiritual energy had been depleted?
But where was the spiritual energy concentrated?
A Feng Shui treasure land?
But he didn't know Feng Shui at all!
Lao Hu did. He had seen Lao Hu's half-completed Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Art (Shi Liu Zi Yin Yang Feng Shui Mi Shu) a few times.
But Bai Tian Yu didn't have photographic memory. After all these years, it would be a ghost if he still remembered it.
Speaking of which, was there a lot of spiritual energy in ancient tombs?
Thinking about the world he was in, Bai Tian Yu focused his attention on tombs, but the same problem arose.
He didn't know Feng Shui!
How could he find them?
The problem returned to the beginning. He didn't know Feng Shui, and he didn't know if Lao Hu had been discharged from the army.
If he had, he would go down the mountain and bring Lao Hu and Pang Zi along to raid tombs.
Then, he would just help kill those demons and ghosts, take some treasures, and enrich his pockets.
Then, he could cultivate for a few nights in those Feng Shui treasure lands. Wouldn't that be much better than now?
But who knows what Lao Hu is doing now.
They had lost contact after Lao Hu went to the countryside during university.
Especially after Lao Hu joined the army, there was no news at all.
Pang Zi would come to visit him from time to time, hoping he would go down the mountain and make a fortune with him.
But Bai Tian Yu, who knew that this guy was selling cassette tapes, how could he go down?
Although there wasn't much good food in this temple, there was a vegetable garden behind it and some wild chickens, so being self-sufficient was quite fulfilling.
Especially since Bai Tian Yu was already tired of the city's hustle and bustle in his previous life. Cleansing his mind in the temple was quite nice.
It was just a bit lonely, but Bai Tian Yu was the kind of person who could play with his phone all day.
How could he feel lonely, especially since Bai Tian Yu had cultivation techniques in this life.
He would cultivate when he had nothing to do, for a whole day or an afternoon. He was already used to it.
If he hadn't hit a bottleneck, Bai Tian Yu wouldn't have been thinking about these things.
Calculating the time, Fatty should be arriving soon.
"Hey, Tian Yu, come out quickly, guess who's here?"
As soon as he thought about it, Wang Pang Zi's voice came from outside the temple.
"Lao Hu, I gotta say, this guy Tian Yu can really stand being alone. He's actually been in this deep mountain and forest for over ten years."
"If it wasn't for Fatty me coming to see him regularly, he probably would've gone crazy!"
Wang Pang Zi led Lao Hu to the temple gate. Along the way, Wang Pang Zi's mouth didn't stop, making Lao Hu a bit annoyed.
Thankfully, they had arrived. Otherwise, Lao Hu really couldn't hold back and wanted to smack him.
"Bai Yun Dao Guan, what a good name, it's the same surname as Tian Yu!"
Looking at the name of the temple, Lao Hu nodded, praising it.
"Of course, it was picked by Tian Yu himself. Back then, this guy chose it just because of the name."
Wang Pang Zi boasted beside him, as if he had picked the name for Bai Tian Yu.
"You, you fat pig! You have such a loud voice, you scared all the birds in my temple!"
After a while, Bai Tian Yu appeared at the temple gate, teasing him.
"You... you are...?"
Looking at the twenty-something Bai Tian Yu in front of him, Lao Hu stammered, looking at Wang Pang Zi in disbelief.
"Tian Yu, this is Tian Yu!"
Nodding, Wang Pang Zi said you're not wrong, the guy in front of you is Bai Tian Yu.
"Cao, you're too exaggerated!"
Unable to help but swear, Lao Hu was truly dumbfounded.
He looked at himself, then at the other guy.
One was a twenty-something young man, the other was a near-forty-year-old, freshly discharged soldier, a true middle-aged man.
Looking at their skin, they weren't even the same age.
"This is too absurd!"
Lao Hu still couldn't accept reality. He covered his head and sat on the steps of the temple.
"Lao Hu, calm down, calm down!"
"Calm down your ass!"
"Look at him, then look at me, how can I calm down?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Bai Tian Yu said I'm not taking the blame for this, you'll have to explain it, Fatty.
"Come in, standing outside isn't going to do anything."
