"How do you decide?" asked Wan Shanhong.

"These three big trees are distributed in a zigzag shape, if it weren't for the induction of the Dan furnace, it wouldn't be so regular," Wu Zhongyuan stretched out his hand and pointed to the annual rings on several tree stumps, "These rings are called annual rings, and the trees have one more every year they grow, and the annual rings of these three big trees are many and dense, difficult to count, at least for thousands of years." ”

Wu Zhongyuan said here and swung his sword again, cutting the trunk of the willow tree not far away, "Although the willow tree grows in the Southern Wilderness, there are few big trees, the reason is because the willow tree is easy to have insects, and the temperature in the Southern Wilderness is high, even in winter, the insects in the tree cannot be frozen to death, you look at this willow tree, can there be the slightest trace of insect moth?"

Wan Shanhong naturally didn't count the annual rings of the trees, but just glanced at the willow tree that had been cut open by Wu Zhongyuan, and found that there were indeed no traces of insects in it.

"What?" Wan Shanhong asked.

"What else, naturally, is to dig it out. Wu Zhongyuan said.

Wan Shanhong said, "The ancestors of Lefeng Ridge and Hu Laosan and Huang Youdao have all entered before, and there should be a hidden robbery cave hidden in this mountain. ”

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, " There should be, but even if there is a thief hole, we do not enter from the thief hole, the mixed Yuan Ding was sealed here, and it is likely that there will be a mechanism to prevent theft and excavation when it is sealed, even if there is no trap, the yin atmosphere of the mixed Yuan Ding for thousands of years is also likely to make the underground Zerg beasts mutate, as the saying goes, there is a specialization, the ancestors of the Leprosy Ridge have stolen and excavated countless tombs, and accumulated a lot of experience over thousands of years, they can retreat from the whole body, but we are not necessarily, the situation below is unknown, it is not appropriate to enter rashly, for the sake of safety, you may as well directly mobilize manpower to dig up the entire underground palace thoroughly, so that the mixed Yuan Ding can see the light of day again。 ”

"The entire Minshan may be sealed soil, and all of them will be moved, and the project is huge. "Wan Shan Hong.

"It is indeed a huge project for the peddlers and pawns, but it is nothing to the Yellow Emperor of the Central Plains. Wu Zhongyuan said with a smile.

Wu Zhongyuan smiled, Wan Shanhong also laughed, she laughed not because Wu Zhongyuan's words were very loud, but Wu Zhongyuan told the truth without modesty, you must know that Oriental people are advocating modesty, even if they know that they are a dragon, they can't say that they are a dragon, otherwise they are not modest, they are arrogant, they have to say that they are a worm, and then hypocritically excuse themselves, as if only this personality is noble. In fact, modesty is not human nature, arrogance and pride are, but everyone is avoiding and covering up, and only in front of people close to them will it be truly revealed, Wu Zhongyuan said these words to show that he did not treat her as an outsider in his heart.

"It's far away from the Central Plains, and it takes a long time to recruit and dispatch people, so it's better for me to gather people. Wan Shanhong said.

Wu Zhongyuan thought about it and nodded in agreement, "It's okay, I can't cover the rumors of this matter, and I'm not afraid that outsiders will know, you can arrange it, I'll wait for you here." ”

"It's getting late, let's go to Goat Valley, rest for the night, and come back tomorrow." Wan Shanhong suggested.

Wu Zhongyuan frowned and groaned, but did not answer immediately.

Wan Shanhong knew what he was worried about, "Don't worry, the mixed Yuan Ding is very heavy, and ordinary people can't move away even if they get it." ”

"No, this thing is too important, I can't be careless," Wu Zhongyuan said, "You can go, bring some wine and food back, I'll wait for you here." ”

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan had made up his mind, Wan Shanhong no longer insisted, issued a whistle, and summoned the giant eagle to pick it up.

"By the way, you let the hundreds of birds that transported the rice and grain before go to Youxiong and pick up some people. Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Good. Wan Shanhong nodded in agreement, turned to raise his spirit, and drove the giant eagle to the sky and returned to the east.

After Wan Shanhong left, Wu Zhongyuan sent his thoughts and ordered the third master to go to Youxiong to pass on the decree, so that Lao Er and the Black Ji Mountain armadillos under his command could return to Youxiong to wait, and when the Yanyun Mountain bird team arrived, they would come here by flying birds.

After pondering, he sent his mind and summoned Dasha, who was building a road for the Yiren, to come here.

This place was not a place of light in the first place, and a large number of livestock had died from here not long ago, and the bones of Liu Jin'e and Huang Sheng were still uncollected at the bottom of the mountain, and the air was still filled with a strong rancid stench, and the sun was setting in the west, and the night was shrouded, which was even more terrifying and gloomy.

As the so-called art masters are bold, Wu Zhongyuan is alone here but does not have the slightest fear, in fact, people's courage is not innate, everyone is timid when they are born, because it is human instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and timidity is the way for the weak to protect themselves.

With the enhancement of acquired strength, people's courage will gradually become bigger, my father is the village head, he has confidence, and he is bolder. My family has money, confidence, and courage. I am very strong, confident, and courageous.

Wu Zhongyuan is no exception, he is profound in cultivation at this time, he is in power, his strength is extremely strong, there are very few things that can make him afraid, if he goes back to three years ago, this situation will also scare him goosebumps.

The essence of all boldness is to have no fear, and the real strong will not bully those who are timid and afraid, because these people are poor people who are not strong enough in themselves, and have no strong backers, and are not fully protected.

Wu Zhongyuan did not leave the top of the mountain, but found a clean place from the top of the mountain and sat down cross-legged, lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, and meditated.

He meditated this time not for the sake of practicing qi, nor for meditation, but for perception, after he became a jade void, his body has undergone many benign changes, not only the mind is clearer, the mind is more agile, the reaction is faster, the senses are more acute than before, and the ability to understand and perceive external things has also been greatly improved.

The unity of heaven and man is the Taoist concept, but also by Confucianism, in modern words the unity of heaven and man is the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, and the premise of harmonious coexistence is a full understanding of nature, which is also the premise of all interactions, if you do not understand each other, it is impossible to get along for a long time.

Wu Zhongyuan's pursuit at this time was the unity of heaven and man, and he wanted to perceive the aura of this area and the complex information contained in the breath.

But there is an essential difference between the pursuit and the achievement, if you want to truly achieve the unity of heaven and man, I am afraid that only the legendary Mixed Yuan Daluo Jin Immortal can reach this realm, you must know that the essence of the unity of heaven and man is the complete understanding of heaven and earth, if you do this, it will be terrible, when a person has a 100% understanding of a thing or a thing, not only can it affect and change it, but also can destroy or reshape it.

The essence of practicing qi is to have an induction with the aura of heaven and earth, and to use the aura of heaven and earth to strengthen itself, this is the case with the ninth order of the earth, and the same is true for the ninth order of the heavenly grid, but compared with the ninth order of the earth, the degree of unity of heaven and man is higher, and the higher the degree of unity of heaven and man, the deeper the understanding of yin and yang heaven and earth, and the more aura of heaven and earth can be borrowed.

There is a saying in modern times that man will conquer the sky, in fact, the original saying of this sentence is that man is strong over the sky, but whether it is man is determined to win the sky or man is strong over the sky, it is not in line with the theory of yin and yang and the law of materialism, because people live between heaven and earth, it is impossible to be bigger than heaven and earth, if you want to live well and live long, you must conform to heaven and earth, to put it bluntly, it is to conform to the law of development of nature, the simplest example, wear a shirt in summer and a cotton jacket in winter, which is to conform to heaven and earth. Whoever has to go against this law and wear a padded jacket in summer and a shirt in winter will find it difficult not to die.

Breathe slowly and feel quietly.

The quieter the heart, the more sensitive the senses, only when you really calm down, you can perceive things that you can't usually perceive, everything in the world is composed of gas, different things are composed of different amounts of different amounts of turbidity, with modern science is that different substances have different densities, the breath of stone and stone is similar, the breath of wood and wood is similar, through the perception and discrimination of the outside breath, you can clearly outline the surrounding environment from your mind, this feeling is difficult for outsiders to imagine and understand, a bit like X-ray, also a bit like infrared thermal imaging, is another means of observation of the external environment in addition to vision。

This kind of perception can not completely replace vision, but it can be used as a great supplement to vision, if the old blind man can advance to the jade void cultivation, even if he has no eyes, he can also perceive the situation in the outside world, but unfortunately the old blind man's cultivation has been abolished, and he can no longer practice qi.

The cultivation of the jade void is already very high, but it is not high enough, the perception is still slightly blurry, not very clear, but this is enough, he not only perceives the existence of the thief cave, but also feels the strong resentment and resentment coming from the thief cave, this kind of resentment does not belong to living creatures, but a complex and strong vicious aura, this feeling is difficult to describe in words, if you have to describe it in words, it is the grievance and crying from the underworld.

The cave is located in the southeast of Minshan, near a low river, due to the warm and rainy south wilderness, the banks of the river are overgrown with weeds, and the entrance of the cave is hidden in the weeds.

After determining the location of the thief cave, Wu Zhongyuan had the intention to follow the thief cave to the internal perception, but the resentment in the thief cave made him feel uneasy, and he tried three times, but finally gave up without success.

In a state of extreme tranquility, time will fly by, and when you open your eyes, the sky is full of stars, and you don't need to rely on the sun and Beidou to judge the time after you become a jade void, and you can determine the specific hour by estimating at will, and it is already the second watch time.

Women pee like to find the ground, men pee like to find obstacles, get up and want to pee, then go to the fallen tree to untie the waist rope to open the gate to release water, put half of Wan Shanhong back, carrying the food box and wine jar from the sky.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly lifting his pants, Wan Shanhong laughed, "Haha, just take a look, what can you do?"

"Hush. Wu Zhongyuan pouted.

"It's so urgent, haven't you ever peed your pants?" Wan Shanhong laughed.

"Why are you so annoying? Wu Zhongyuan stretched out his hand to take the food box in Wan Shanhong's hand, walked to the stump, used the thick stump as a table, and took out the food in the food box.

"You just peed, don't you wash your hands?" Wan Shanhong never gave up any opportunity to tease Wu Zhongyuan.

"If you don't wash it, there are a lot of poisonous snakes on the river, and the river water will not be clean. Wu Zhongyuan shook his head.

Wan Shanhong is Wu Zhongyuan's friend, not his mother, Wu Zhongyuan is unwilling to wash, she is not verbose, she found two stone piers from the ruins of the pavilion, sat on one, and gave Wu Zhongyuan one.

Putting down the wine and food, sitting opposite, Wan Shanhong poured a full wine for Wu Zhongyuan and poured a bowl by himself, "It is worth celebrating to find the mixed yuan tripod so smoothly." ”

Wu Zhongyuan took a sip of the wine bowl, put down the wine bowl and sighed.

"Huh?" Wan Shanhong tilted his head to look at him, "What are you sighing for?"

"I'm a little unsure. Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Are you worried that someone will take the Mixed Yuan Ding first?" asked Wan Shanhong.

"No, I sensed it just now, and the Mixed Yuan Ding should be right down here. Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Then why are you worried?" Wan Shanhong asked.

"I'm not sure if it's auspicious or ...... if Mixed Yuan Ding sees the light of day again"
