Zhang Yuan and the three of them walked in the dense woods, the sunlight fell through the gaps between the leaves, and became beams of light, stepping on the deep rotten leaves under their feet, none of the three of them was in the mood to speak.

This is the eighth day that Zhang Yuan has left the village, if he is still at home, he is afraid that he will be reunited with his parents for the New Year, but it is the day of the reunion of thousands of families, Zhang Yuan has no choice but to travel far away.

When he just left the village, Zhang Yue also suggested that a few people go to Hua Feng, after all, Hua Feng, as the captain of Hua Wei, since his team members have encountered such a thing, they should be protected, otherwise who can serve the country more diligently in the future, but Zhang Yue's proposal was directly rejected by Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan does not need anyone's mercy at the moment, Zhang Yuan has been cheering himself up in his heart, believing that he can definitely stand up again, so Zhang Yuan does not want to rely on anyone, Zhang Yuan wants to rely on his own strength to regain his peak。

Zhang Yuan and the three of them came to your province directly by plane, he wanted to find a place where no one knew him to find a way to recover his strength again, and in order to cut off the possibility of others finding himself, Zhang Yuan also specially asked Zhang Yue to use the Wind Sword to take the three of them to a remote mountain forest.

Zhang Yuan actually didn't know what he was doing here, because in Zhang Yuan's heart, he always wanted to find a place where no one would disturb him, so the three of them came to this inaccessible mountain forest, but after Zhang Yuan arrived here, he lost his direction in his heart, and could only walk in one direction so boringly, hoping that he would think of his destination while walking.

"Let's rest for a while! It's been a long day. ”

Qin Siyu's voice interrupted the silence in the mountains and forests, Zhang Yuan did not object after listening to Qin Siyu's words, but silently found a place for the trunk of a tree and sat down, but Zhang Yuan, who was in a daze, still couldn't think of a way to recover his strength until this moment.

Looking up at the sky, but the dense leaves had already completely blocked the sky, Zhang Yuan reached out and wanted to peel off the leaves that blocked the sky, but until his arm was straightened, Zhang Yuan still couldn't touch those leaves, Zhang Yuan dropped his arm a little decadently, and lowered his head with his eyes blankly.

In the past few days, in fact, Zhang Yuan also discussed with Pangu in his heart, but the answer he got did not satisfy Zhang Yuan, first of all, the energy group in Zhang Yuan's body that came and went from time to time, even Pangu, who had been living in Zhang Yuan's body, did not know where it was, let alone Zhang Yuan himself, Zhang Yuan also tried, he could no longer sense the existence of that energy group no matter what, so if he wanted to know what that energy group was, he still needed to study it slowly in the future, secondly, Zhang Yuan asked Pangu for advice on how to recover his strength as quickly as possible, but Pangu's answer made Zhang Yuan a little frustrated, and Pangu told Zhang Yuan, As long as Pangu himself lives in Zhang Yuan's body, then Zhang Yuan doesn't need to worry about his lifespan, so as long as Zhang Yuan practices diligently, then Zhang Yuan's strength will definitely reach a realm that no one can surpass, but the time it takes is too long.

So in the end, after some discussion, Pangu thought that the fastest way was to choose the space-time liaison instrument to directly improve his qi, blood and spirit, but Zhang Yuan was a little hopeless about this, after all, every time he used space-time energy, he would innocently use a lot more, and the previous innate Great Perfection himself was still able to accumulate so much space-time energy for a long time, and now if he wants to restore his original strength, he needs to double the space-time energy used before, not to mention that the flood desolation at this moment has become the human race dominating the flood desolation continent, and those powers that accompany heaven and earth have retreated into the background, with the poor cultivation of human beings, If you want to accumulate energy, it will be even more difficult, not to mention that now your opponent has already surpassed the innate and entered the true immortal or mortal, and the ghost knows how long it will take you.

"Zhang Yuan, after thinking about it for so long, have you thought about our destination?"

Qin Siyu's voice came again, waking up Zhang Yuan who was in deep thought, Zhang Yuan looked at Qin Siyu with confused eyes, but he didn't know how to answer Qin Siyu's question, it wasn't that Zhang Yuan couldn't wait, it was just that his current enemy didn't give him time, so Zhang Yuan forced himself like this, but at the moment, Zhang Yuan still didn't find any answer, which made Zhang Yuan answer Qin Siyu's words.

Zhang Yue, who was not far away, listened to Qin Siyu's words, and also opened his eyes to look at Zhang Yuan, who was confused, and remembered what happened before, Zhang Yue opened his mouth and said: "Zhang Yuan, maybe the sentient way that you often mention to me has a greater effect on the recovery of your strength, haven't you noticed that it seems that your understanding of love has not disappeared with the disappearance of cultivation?"

"Love?" Zhang Yuan thought of Luo Yu, it was precisely because of Luo Yu's teaching that Zhang Yuan could learn to escape, but Zhang Yuan had tried it before, but now he can no longer continue to feel the mood fluctuations around him, let alone imitate emotions and teleport, but at this moment Zhang Yue said that his love did not disappear, obviously he did not understand Zhang Yue's meaning for a while.

"Yes, it is love, when you were in Wang Chenglong's house, because of Wang Meifang's death, the anger, regret and sadness in your heart can no longer be suppressed, and it is released with your sorrow, this situation is very common, but on that day, it was because of your sorrow, I actually felt that there was an irrepressible grief in my heart gushing out with your grief, and even when it reached its peak, it made my heart stop beating for a moment, although I don't know what kind of power this is, but I think it must be related to the way of sentient beings that you practiced before。 ”

Zhang Yuan and Qin Siyu also heard Zhang Yue say this for the first time, so Qin Siyu asked Zhang Yue suspiciously, "Why didn't I feel it at that time?"

"This is exactly the strange thing about this matter, and it is also the reason why I have never said it, because I found that there were no such situations for a few of you at that time, the only surprise was that at the moment when my heart stopped, Hou Ye also covered his heart a little uncomfortably, I wonder if it is only possible for cultivators who have entered the realm of true immortals to feel it. ”

After listening to Zhang Yuan's story, Zhang Yuan was a little surprised, because according to what Zhang Yue said, Zhang Yuan completely understood what was going on, it was because of empathy, and his own way of affection entered the realm of empathy, but why only Zhang Yue and Hou Ye felt it at that time, it was entirely because the two of them had been using their immortal sense to pay attention to Zhang Yuan at that time, and immortal consciousness was originally a derivative of a person's soul, so at that time, the two of them used immortal consciousness to pay attention to themselves, so at the same time, they also became the two closest to Zhang Yuan, so there was such a scene。

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan was a little excited, if his way of affection really reached the realm of empathy, he would no longer be powerless to fight back.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan hurriedly asked Zhang Yue and Qin Siyu to do experiments on their bodies, and the two of them also shrouded Zhang Yuan's body with their immortal consciousness at Zhang Yuan's request, Zhang Yuan tried hard to recall happy things in his heart, and thought about it for a long time and thought a lot, but when Zhang Yuan woke up from his memories, he found that Qin Siyu and Zhang Yue did not have any abnormalities, obviously this experiment did not have any effect.

"Don't you feel anything?" asked Zhang Yuan, still a little reluctant.

After Qin Siyu and Zhang Yue glanced at each other, they shook their heads at each other and affirmed Zhang Yuan's question, but Zhang Yue still comforted: " Zhang Yuan, don't be discouraged, maybe your way of being has approached that level, but you haven't really set foot on it yet, so you will succeed in doing it when your emotions completely explode, maybe when you realize more, you can do it, and for a period of time after that, you still put your mind on this, and Siyu and I will also interact with the immortal consciousness on your body to help you practice. ”

After looking at Qin Siyu, Zhang Yuan turned his head to look at Zhang Yue again, feeling guilty in his heart, and secretly blamed himself for being depressed during this time, Zhang Yue and Qin Siyu only really care about themselves, they will spare no effort to help and encourage themselves, and they have indeed gone too far during this time.

Smiling slightly at the two of them, Zhang Yuan let go of the attachment in his heart, and at this moment, the leaves on the top of Zhang Yuan's head suddenly separated a little to both sides, just a ray of warm sunlight shone on Zhang Yuan's face through this gap, at this moment Zhang Yuan's face seemed to be integrated with too many expressions, with this slight smile, it was like a hundred flowers blooming, which made both of them look a little stupid, but Qin Siyu and Zhang Yue didn't notice this change, because it was moisturizing silently.

The smile gradually converged, Zhang Yuan opened his mouth and said: "Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, we don't want to worry about those things, Siyu, see what else we have to eat, let's simply celebrate." ”

Rummaging through the travel bag, Qin Siyu reluctantly took out the last thing from the travel bag, a few packets of bread and a few bottles of mineral water, in fact, these foods at the moment were all prepared for Zhang Yuan, because among the three of them, only Zhang Yuan is an ordinary person now, after the cultivator enters the innate nature, the demand for food has been greatly reduced, and occasionally tasting it is just to relieve the desire of the tongue, so the food carried by the three of them is not very much.

Looking at the few packets of bread in front of him, Zhang Yuan was a little speechless, he didn't expect that he would eat these in the Chinese New Year's Eve, but fortunately, he is now in a mountain forest, so he can still catch some game.

"There's no danger here, why don't we go out and catch some game and come back here in two hours." ”

It is rare for Zhang Yuan to have such a good fortune, so Qin Siyu and Zhang Yue did not refuse, but after all, Zhang Yuan's physical condition at the moment is not very good, in order to take care of him, the two left an area around Zhang Yuan, and Qin Siyu was in an area outside Zhang Yuan, as for Zhang Yue had a flying sword, so Zhang Yue left a little far, hoping to find some larger prey.

When Qin Siyu and Zhang Yue left one after another, Zhang Yuan also got up and moved his body, and when the previous fatigue of his body was swept away, he looked around.

Speaking of hunting, in fact, Zhang Yuan is no stranger, after all, he followed Qiao San to hunt when Zhang Yuan was young, but everything looks simple, but when he does it himself, it is completely different, for the traces of the surrounding animals, Zhang Yuan quickly found out, but Zhang Yuan didn't want to follow the traces to look for it, because if he really searched like this, he was afraid that he would not be able to come back in two hours, so Zhang Yuan was ready to wait for the rabbit here, it was indeed a rabbit.

After all, rabbits have been walking the old way for a long time, and Zhang Yuan is waiting here, and he may directly encounter a rabbit that has taken the old road, so Zhang Yuan set up a simple trap and hid aside, ready to wait for the rabbit to automatically take the bait.

Zhang Yuan waited for more than an hour, seeing that the time for the gathering was about to come, Zhang Yuan originally thought that he might not gain anything in the specified time, but just as he was about to go to the previous place, he suddenly found that there was movement in the grass not far away, so he squatted down again when he was about to get up.

Sure enough, a white rabbit stuck out its head from the grass, the rabbit first looked left and right, and after finding that there was no danger, the rabbit jumped towards the place where Zhang Yuan set the trap, at this moment Zhang Yuan's heart began to get nervous, and when the rabbit got closer to the trap, Zhang Yuan's heart became more nervous.

As if feeling Zhang Yuan's nervousness, before the trap, the rabbit suddenly stopped, raised his head and looked again, but the rabbit didn't see Zhang Yuan, so he lowered his body and walked forward again, and without taking two steps, the rabbit's head was stuck in the trap set by Zhang Yuan, and it was difficult to come out again.

Zhang Yuan saw that the rabbit was finally caught, the tension in his heart gradually eased, and a smile appeared on his face, so he got up and walked towards the rabbit.

After that, things were not so troublesome, Zhang Yuan took the rabbit out of the trap, and held the rabbit in front of his eyes, the rabbit kept kicking in Zhang Yuan's hands, but Zhang Yuan held the rabbit's neck firmly, so that it had no way to escape from his hands.

Looking at it, Zhang Yuan suddenly saw a desperate expression in the rabbit's eyes, Zhang Yuan was a little suspicious of his eyes, so he wiped his eyes vigorously, and looked into the rabbit's eyes again, still the same as before, Zhang Yuan saw the despair in the rabbit's eyes again, it seemed that the rabbit knew what his fate was, so he showed despair.

After Zhang Yuan calmed down his emotions, he slowly let go of his fingers, and let the rabbit disappear from his eyes, Zhang Yuan didn't think about anything, just sat where he was standing at the moment, gradually smoothed out his thoughts, and let everything around him surround him.

Zhang Yuan didn't know how long it had been, but he had been trying to calm his mind, and when he no longer thought about anything in his heart, Zhang Yuan finally entered the meditation.

After Zhang Yuan settled down, he felt as if he had returned to the feeling after the soul split, and at this moment he was like a true soul, and he had no feelings for everything around him, leaving only the last bit of spiritual consciousness to look at everything around him coldly.

Gradually, a faint trace of energy around gradually gathered to Zhang Yuan's side, Zhang Yuan saw joy, sadness, panic, and serenity in this energy, Zhang Yuan did not perceive these emotions, nor did he prevent these emotions from gathering towards his body, Zhang Yuan just still maintained the last bit of spiritual sense, so he kept watching, not thinking.

Suddenly, the power of joy from the surroundings increased greatly, and even Zhang Yuan's last bit of spiritual consciousness was contained in it, and the joy accumulated more and more, and gradually Zhang Yuan could no longer maintain the transcendent existence of the soul, and finally he was also happy in the encirclement of joy, this is the joy from the bottom of his heart, Zhang Yuan didn't know why he was happy, but he was so happy, but he also woke up from the meditation.

When Zhang Yuan opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the rising sun in the gaps in the trees, bringing hope to the world and expelling the cold and darkness.

"Zhang Yuan, are you awake?

Zhang Yue's voice came from behind Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan turned his head to look behind him, and found that Qin Siyu and Zhang Yue were both standing quietly behind him, it seems that they didn't go back according to the specified time yesterday, and they came over, but after the two came over, they found that they had entered the meditation, so they had been silently guarding Zhang Yuan's back, and did not wake Zhang Yuan up.

Zhang Yuan smiled faintly, but Zhang Yuan didn't know how to explain it now, because he seemed to have gained a lot, but he didn't seem to have gained anything, but through this day and night, Zhang Yuan felt the emotions around him again, although the feeling was very weak, but it was much stronger than before.

Looking at Zhang Yuan's smile, a smile gradually appeared on Zhang Yue's face, Zhang Yue knew that Zhang Yuan had regained his previous self-confidence, as Zhang Yue had always believed, Zhang Yuan would definitely stand up again, because he was destined to not be an ordinary person.

The three of them simply ate some of the prey they caught yesterday, and then they each found a place to practice brute force duel, although Zhang Yuan's current body is just an ordinary person's body, but the previous Zhang Yuan has cultivated to the forty-third style, and now Zhang Yuan can also practice the forty-third style by using the body of an ordinary person, but there is no performance to enhance his strength, so Zhang Yuan can only try to do the forty-fourth style, but the difficulty is not ordinary.

An hour later, Zhang Yuan and the three of them returned to the eating place, and Zhang Yue asked Zhang Yuan about his next plans, now that Zhang Yuan has regained his confidence, he can't continue to wander aimlessly like this.

Zhang Yuan thought about it and felt that what Zhang Yue said was really good, although he wanted to have more contact with the natural environment at the moment, but he couldn't be separated from the society for such a long time, so Zhang Yuan finally decided to find a village on the periphery of this forest and everyone lived first.
