zài shī qù le yì shí zhī hòu ， yě jiù wú suǒ wèi le shí jiān de gài niàn 。
在失去了意识之后，也就无所谓了时间的概念。
After a long month, Li Fan still couldn't figure out the truth behind these illusions. The images in his memories came from different people, times, and even worlds. They were bizarre and varied, with first-person experiences as well as third-person perspectives, even some from an aerial view of the heavens. It was hard to distinguish what was real.
nǎ pà guò qù le yì wàn nián ， shèn zhì gèng jiǔ 。 duì yú dāng shì rén ér yán ， yě zhǐ shì sū xǐng qián hòu de chā bié 。
哪怕过去了亿万年，甚至更久。对于当事人而言，也只是苏醒前后的差别。
Perhaps… all of this could be true.
All these were things I experienced in my simulations.
lǐ fán shì bèi yǎn qián ， bù duàn tiào dòng de guāng fú gěi jīng xǐng de 。
李凡是被眼前，不断跳动的光符给惊醒的。
Li Fan closed his eyes, forcing down the endless stream of illusions and thoughts. He thought to himself:
If all these are part of my memories, then no matter what, I would not be as weak as I am today.
So, it must have been a change during the simulation process.
Qigong…
jiù xiàng shì cuī cù yǐ jiǔ ， guāng fú bù tíng dì shǎn shuò zhe 。 míng míng měi cì shǎn shuò de pín lǜ dōu bǎo chí yí zhì ， dàn lǐ fán què běn néng de cóng zhōng kàn chū le “ jí qiè ” zhī yì 。
就像是催促已久，光符不停地闪烁着。明明每次闪烁的频率都保持一致，但李凡却本能的从中看出了“急切”之意。
Li Fan couldn't help but look at the second option in the prompt again.
shèn zhì zhè zhǒng qíng xù hái gǎn rǎn le lǐ fán ， shǐ de jí biàn tā de nǎo hǎi shàng chǔ yú yí piàn kòng bái zhuàng tài ， yě bù yóu bèi pò qù zuò le jué zé 。
甚至这种情绪还感染了李凡，使得即便他的脑海尚处于一片空白状态，也不由被迫去做了抉择。
He had heard from both inside and outside that only true cultivators could relate to the term "qigong."
No matter what experiences I went through or how high my cultivation level was, it would definitely be better than now. So, inheriting this ability didn't seem like a bad choice.
Flying and traveling, eternal life.
lǐ fán dīng zhe guāng fú ， nòng le xǔ jiǔ ， fāng cái míng bái qí zhōng suǒ biǎo dá de hán yì 。
李凡盯着光符，弄了许久，方才明白其中所表达的含义。
Thinking about it, Li Fan felt an instinctive sense of excitement mixed with fear.
【 běn cì mó nǐ jié shù 】
【本次模拟结束】
But after so long without making a decision, he wouldn’t change his mind in the blink of an eye.
【 nǐ kě yǐ zài yǐ xià xuǎn xiàng zhōng xuǎn zé yī xiàng jìn xíng bǎo liú ：
【你可以在以下选项中选择一项进行保留：
He compared the option to inherit cultivation with the others:
If it was just an item, it would be useless for my current situation. My body is so weak that I can barely hold chopsticks, even if I got a divine treasure, I couldn't use it.
Li Fan shook his head inwardly.
1. běn cì mó nǐ zhōng zì shēn chí yǒu de yī jiàn wù pǐn 。
1.本次模拟中自身持有的一件物品。
Choose someone close and inherit their memories.
2. běn cì mó nǐ zhōng zì shēn de xiū xíng jìng jiè 。
2.本次模拟中自身的修行境界。
After much contemplation, Li Fan thought:
The closest person… If they inherited the simulation's memories, seeing me in such dire straits, they would likely help out.
When he focused on this option, many different figures appeared in his mind. When he stopped at an old man with white hair, a sense of comfort arose naturally. As for others…
3. běn cì mó nǐ zhōng yǔ zì shēn guān xì mì qiè de yī wèi rén yuán de mó nǐ jì yì 。 cǐ jì yì kě ràng gāi rén yuán jì chéng 。
3.本次模拟中与自身关系密切的一位人员的模拟记忆。此记忆可让该人员继承。
They don't seem like good people.
4. fàng qì yǐ shàng xuǎn zé ， jiā kuài chōng néng jìn dù 。】
4.放弃以上选择，加快充能进度。】
Could it be that during the simulation, I actually joined forces with these people? Li Fan felt somewhat incredulous.
He stared at the image of the elder for a long time before turning to the last prompt: Speed up energy replenishment.
……
……
Based on his recent understanding, Li Fan guessed that energy replenishment was necessary to activate the simulation.
In other words, he could run another simulation.
“ bǎo liú ……”
“保留……”
Li Fan slowly opened his eyes in reality. He had been here for some time, and as dusk approached, he hurried back home.
jì shú xī yòu mò shēng de zì yǎn ， sì hū huàn xǐng le lǐ fán mǒu xiē guò qù de huí yì 。 dàn jiù dāng tā zhēn de yào huí yì qǐ shén me lái de shí hòu ， lǐ fán tóu bù hū de gǎn dào yī zhèn cì tòng 。
既熟悉又陌生的字眼，似乎唤醒了李凡某些过去的回忆。但就当他真的要回忆起什么来的时候，李凡头部忽的感到一阵刺痛。
For a while, he pretended everything remained unchanged. His body recovered, and he read day and night, actually waiting for the energy to replenish completely.
Finally, one day, he felt an inexplicable sensation. The simulation could be activated again.
wú liàng wú shù de zhǒng zhǒng yǐng xiàng ， fǎng fú zhǎo dào le xuān xiè kǒu yì bān ， yī yōng ér shàng 。 jiāng lǐ fán chà nà yān mò 。
无量无数的种种影像，仿佛找到了宣泄口一般，一拥而上。将李凡刹那淹没。
With a silent recitation, Li Fan fell into darkness once more.
When he woke up, he was surprised by what he saw around him.
zì jǐ de zhēn shí jì yì xiāo shī zài máng máng dà hǎi zhī zhōng ， lǐ fán fā chū yī shēng cǎn jiào ， zài dù hūn jué guò qù 。
自己的真实记忆消失在茫茫大海之中，李凡发出一声惨叫，再度昏厥过去。
It was still that familiar room. Everything seemed unchanged.
“ nǐ qiě fàng xīn ， bù guò shì fēng xié rù nǎo bà le 。 hē le zhè wǎn fú shuǐ ， dìng néng bǎo tā huà xiǎn wéi yí 、 zhuǎn wēi wéi ān 。 dàn xiǎng yào zhèng zhuàng chè dǐ gēn zhì ， xū yào lián xù fú yòng 。 shū juān ， nǐ yào zhī dào ， cūn lǐ duō shǎo rén kě jiù děng zhe zhè fú shuǐ jiù mìng ne 。 zán men nián qīng shí ， guān xì suī rán bù cuò 。 dàn miǎn fèi gěi nǐ tí gōng yī liǎng wǎn ， jiù yǐ jīng shì rén zhì yì jìn le 。 jiē xià lái ， ruò shì nǐ hái xiǎng yào zhè fú shuǐ ……”
“你且放心，不过是风邪入脑罢了。喝了这碗符水，定能保他化险为夷、转危为安。但想要症状彻底根治，需要连续服用。淑娟，你要知道，村里多少人可就等着这符水救命呢。咱们年轻时，关系虽然不错。但免费给你提供一两碗，就已经是仁至义尽了。接下来，若是你还想要这符水……”
Could all of this just be my imagination? Li Fan's heart trembled with disappointment.
“ jiù dé kàn nǐ chéng yì rú hé le 。”
“就得看你诚意如何了。”
But soon, he noticed subtle differences in the house compared to his previous familiarity.
This inkstone… I clearly used most of it.
And…
“ xiǎo yuè …… lí wū dà rén nǐ fàng xīn ， jiù suàn zá guō mài tiě ， wǒ yě huì jiù fán ér de 。”
“晓玥……黎巫大人你放心，就算砸锅卖铁，我也会救凡儿的。”
Li Fan's mind raced as he quickly flipped through the books and papers on the table.
It was correct. It seemed like I had returned over a month ago?
……
……
To verify his theory, Li Fan rushed out to find his aunt. Sure enough, she looked much younger with significantly less white hair.
hūn mí zhī zhōng ， liǎng dào xù xù dāo dāo de nǚ shēng bù shí zài lǐ fán ěr biān xiǎng qǐ 。
昏迷之中，两道絮絮叨叨的女声不时在李凡耳边响起。
This is what they meant by simulation!
suí hòu lǐ fán biàn gǎn jué zì jǐ bèi qiáng xíng guàn xià le mǒu zhǒng qì wèi dú tè de hún zhuó yè tǐ 。
随后李凡便感觉自己被强行灌下了某种气味独特的浑浊液体。
Excited at first, Li Fan quickly calmed down. Clearly, this body was used to it.
Return to the past and have foresight.
The world may be vast, but I can go anywhere.
But I must be careful. That thing that injured me in the simulation.
jiù xiàng shì zài chòu shuǐ gōu lǐ yùn niàng le shí jǐ nián ， yè tǐ rù dù ， ě xīn fǎn wèi gǎn què zhí chōng tiān líng gài 。
就像是在臭水沟里酝酿了十几年，液体入肚，恶心反胃感却直冲天灵盖。
An indescribable aura emanated from young Li Fan's body.
Despite his innocent scholar's face, he exuded an incomprehensible authority.
“ ǒu 。”
“呕。”
Twenty years later:
lǐ fán měng dì fān shēn ǒu tù qǐ lái 。
李凡猛地翻身呕吐起来。
Hail to the Grand Tutor!
“ shū juān nǐ kàn ， wǒ jiù shuō zhè fú shuǐ yǒu shén xiào ba ！ dé jí shí zài hē jǐ wǎn ， fāng néng quán yù ……”
“淑娟你看，我就说这符水有神效吧！得及时再喝几碗，方能痊愈……”
...
“ fán ér 。” yī wèi fù rén bù gù lǐ fán tǔ chū de zàng wù ， jīng xǐ zhì jí de pū shàng lái ， chá kàn lǐ fán zhuàng kuàng 。
“凡儿。”一位妇人不顾李凡吐出的脏物，惊喜至极的扑上来，查看李凡状况。
At the Grand Tutor's mansion, Li Fan smiled and raised his cup as he watched the assembly of officials of Great Xuan.
ér gāng gāng sū xǐng de lǐ fán nǎo zi lǐ luàn hōng hōng yī piàn ， shén me dōu wú fǎ lǐ shùn 。 zhǐ guān jiàn de zhuā zhù ， nà shén shén dāo dāo yǒu xiē jiān ruì de shēng yīn yào zài guàn zì jǐ jǐ wǎn nà hún zhuó de yè tǐ 。 fǎng fú zài dù gǎn shòu dào le nà cì bí zhì jí de wèi dào ， lǐ fán xīn zhōng wú duān yī zhèn bào nù 。
而刚刚苏醒的李凡脑子里乱哄哄一片，什么都无法理顺。只关键的抓住，那神神叨叨有些尖锐的声音要再灌自己几碗那浑浊的液体。仿佛再度感受到了那刺鼻至极的味道，李凡心中无端一阵暴怒。
While facing the flattery of high-ranking ministers, his thoughts drifted elsewhere.
What is cultivation really like?
“ zhuāng shén nòng guǐ ！”
“装神弄鬼！”
In just twenty years, from a lowly scholar, he rose to become the grand tutor with power over the entire court.
shēng yīn sī yǎ ， bīng lěng cán kù 。
声音嘶哑，冰冷残酷。
But he never forgot that he was merely in a simulation and had a purpose: to uncover the truth behind his lost memories.
jiāng wū zi lǐ de liǎng wèi fù rén dùn shí xià le yī tiào 。
将屋子里的两位妇人顿时吓了一跳。
After countless nights of contemplation, I finally figured out some of it. But without divine energy, even if I have all kinds of plans, they can't be implemented.
Li Fan sighed inwardly.
xiǎo wū zhōng yī piàn jì jìng ， lǐ fán duì zhǔn nà wū pó xià yì shí de shēn chū shǒu ， líng kōng huī le huī 。
小屋中一片寂静，李凡对准那巫婆下意识的伸出手，凌空挥了挥。
When the guests dispersed after several rounds of drinks,
dàn shǒu gāng gāng jǔ qǐ ， tā jiù gǎn dào yī zhèn xū ruò 。
但手刚刚举起，他就感到一阵虚弱。
Li Fan returned to his bedroom and quietly looked at himself in the mirror.
dǔ zi lǐ yī zhèn fān jiāng dǎo hǎi ， yòu rěn bú zhù de ǒu tù qǐ lái 。
肚子里一阵翻江倒海，又忍不住的呕吐起来。
He touched his thick beard before removing his disguise.
There was no change compared to twenty years ago.
Hah.
Even this body.
“ shū juān ， wǒ kàn …… nǐ zhí zi zhè yì zhèng ， pà shì yǒu diǎn yán zhòng 。 xū yào duō hē shàng jǐ wǎn cái shì 。”
“淑娟，我看……你侄子这臆症，怕是有点严重。需要多喝上几碗才是。”
Stretching, Li Fan felt that despite twenty years passing, he didn't feel any signs of aging. In fact, with time's passage, this body seemed even younger and more vibrant.
“ shì shì shì 。”
“是是是。”
He hadn't yet officially embarked on the path of cultivation.
I truly am not an ordinary person.
“ nǐ men gǎn ！” lǐ fán wén yán ， yòu shì fèn nù zhì jí 。
“你们敢！”李凡闻言，又是愤怒至极。
To conceal his immortality, although he had concubines, Li Fan rarely shared a bed with them, citing busy state affairs as an excuse. Every few years, his bed partners would die suddenly due to illness.
dàn zhè jù shēn qū ， dàng zhēn shì shuāi ruò dào le jí diǎn 。
但这具身躯，当真是衰弱到了极点。
Originally, people in the court spread rumors based on this fact.
But after he personally killed the previous emperor and supported the young prince's ascension, there were no more whispers.
jí biàn jié lì zhēng zhá ， què yě qīng sōng bèi liǎng wèi nóng fù gěi zhèn yā 。 zhǐ dé qū rǔ de ， jiāng yī wǎn wǎn fú shuǐ gěi hē xià dù 。
即便竭力挣扎，却也轻松被两位农妇给镇压。只得屈辱的，将一碗碗符水给喝下肚。
Li Fan becoming grand tutor wasn't out of a love for power but to find a way out of this world.
Although his body had the ability to live forever, other aspects remained ordinary. Relying on himself to explore the world and find the path of cultivation was difficult.
But as grand tutor, he established secret organizations dedicated to seeking immortals.
……
……
Another ten years later:
yí gè yuè hòu 。
一个月后。
The young emperor grew up and no longer wanted to be a puppet controlled by Li Fan.
He secretly cultivated assassins while plotting with other ministers.
His plan was to kill Li Fan and reclaim power.
Everything went smoothly. Li Fan, unaware of the trap, walked into it alone.
fàn zhuō shàng ， lǐ fán bù jǐn bù màn de chī zhe 。 fàn cài bìng bù zěn me fēng shèng ， qīng cài dòu fǔ ， yī wǎn yú tāng ， biàn shì quán bù 。
饭桌上，李凡不紧不慢的吃着。饭菜并不怎么丰盛，青菜豆腐，一碗鱼汤，便是全部。
Seeing Li Fan surrounded by dozens of assassins, the young emperor laughed triumphantly.
Grand Tutor, Grand Tutor, you used me as a tool for education but never thought I would be here today!
“ suī shuō bǎ jiā lǐ tián dì dōu mài chū qù le dà bàn ， dàn nǐ de shēn zi zǒng guī shì màn màn hǎo qǐ lái le bú shì 。”
“虽说把家里田地都卖出去了大半，但你的身子总归是慢慢好起来了不是。”
But in this dire situation, Li Fan's expression remained unchanged from start to finish.
How now? He asked with a smile.
“ wǒ wèn guò cūn lǐ qián xiù cái le ， nǐ zhè shì bìng mó chán shēn shí ， bèi fēng xié rù qīn ， yǐ zhì yú chǎn shēng le zhǒng zhǒng huàn jué 。 zhǐ yào duō dú diǎn shèng xián shū ， xīn zhōng zhèng qì yóu rán ér shēng 。 huàn jué jiē xià lái jiù huì màn màn xiāo shī le ……”
“我问过村里钱秀才了，你这是病魔缠身时，被风邪入侵，以致于产生了种种幻觉。只要多读点圣贤书，心中正气油然而生。幻觉接下来就会慢慢消失了……”
Facing death, still stubborn. The young emperor sneered and waved his hand. The assassins then charged forward with weapons.
However, what happened next was far beyond the young emperor’s expectations.
The blades struck but only produced metallic clashing sounds, unable to pierce anything.
And this seemingly weak grand tutor could punch a man he personally selected and found extremely strong until his flesh burst open.
lǐ fán yī biān tīng zhe shēn páng fù rén de tāo rǎo ， bù shí diǎn tóu yīng xià 。
李凡一边听着身旁妇人的叨扰，不时点头应下。
What should have been a trap turned into a bloody battlefield.
nǎo zi lǐ tóng shí què zài shū lǐ zhe zhū bān huàn yǐng 。
脑子里同时却在梳理着诸般幻影。
When Li Fan, covered in blood, approached the young emperor's side,
The young emperor was already terrified.
Li Fan looked at his blood-soaked clothes and frowned slightly.
Without divine powers or spells, relying on mere mortal flesh is inconvenient.
But this heavy bloodshed didn't bother me much.
It seems that what I experienced during my simulations…
chī wán fàn hòu ， lǐ fán zhào lì chū qù sàn bù 、 duàn liàn shēn tǐ 。 duì xiàng zhe zì jǐ dǎ zhāo hū de rén ， quán dōu shì ér bù jiàn 。 zǒu le bàn shǎng ， zhōng yú lái dào le yī chù jì jìng wú rén de dì fāng 。
吃完饭后，李凡照例出去散步、锻炼身体。对向着自己打招呼的人，全都视而不见。走了半晌，终于来到了一处寂静无人的地方。
"Grand Tutor, Grand Tutor, spare me!" the young emperor wept. Li Fan merely snorted and stepped on him to crush his head.
lǐ fán zhè cái zǐ xì kàn xiàng yǎn qián kuài sù yuè dòng de guāng fú 。
李凡这才仔细看向眼前快速跃动的光符。
...
“ mó nǐ 、 jì chéng 。”
“模拟、继承。”
Killing one emperor meant another was waiting in the wings.
The world only knew of the grand tutor as a constant presence.
“ zhè shì shén me yì si ne ？”
“这是什么意思呢？”
Years passed, Great Xuan changed hands several times, and people grew accustomed to frequent changes in dynasties.
zhè duàn shí jiān yǐ lái ， měi měi tā kàn zhuó yǎn qián zhè duàn bù tíng tiào dòng de wén zì ， lǐ fán sì hū dōu néng gǎn shòu dào qí zhōng de jí qiè yì wèi 。 shèn zhì zài shù gè yè shēn rén jìng de wǎn shàng ， tā tǎng zài chuáng shàng ， nán yǐ rù mián 。
这段时间以来，每每他看着眼前这段不停跳动的文字，李凡似乎都能感受到其中的急切意味。甚至在数个夜深人静的晚上，他躺在床上，难以入眠。
On this day, it was Li Fan's 70th birthday. Officials from all over came from afar to congratulate him.
Scholars gathered at his mansion.
Do not be too presumptuous, Daoxianzi!
xiǎng yào gān cuì suí biàn xuǎn gè suàn le 。
想要干脆随便选个算了。
A sudden shout echoed through the capital of Great Xuan.
After a long month, Li Fan still couldn't figure out the truth behind these illusions. The images in his memories came from different people, times, and even worlds. They were bizarre and varied, with first-person experiences as well as third-person perspectives, even some from an aerial view of the heavens. It was hard to distinguish what was real.
