Chapter 56: On the Way
Looking into the distance, it was pitch black all around, and there was no village to be seen.
However, this is a plain area with dense villages, and if you walk some distance along the road, you will definitely find a village to shelter from the rain.
It's just that Liu Daode doesn't plan to do this, now in the middle of the night, he suddenly comes to the door to sleep, and few people will open the door, so why bother to be boring.
Just here to take shelter from the rain, he turned his head to look at a row of large poplar trees on the side of the road, and he made up his mind.
Looking for a flat place next to the tree, Liu Daode sat down cross-legged.
After a while, the wind picked up, and the wind shook the branches and rattled. Soon, thunder rumbled, and bean-sized raindrops fell.
In the midst of the thunder, the divine consciousness did not dare to release it.
He could only sit upright under the big tree, and bear the majestic rain by his own will.
After a while, most of his clothes were soaked. The wind was blowing, and it was cold.
"Chirp ......" Suddenly a small voice came from behind him.
Liu Daode turned his head to look, only to find that it was a mouse, drenched in fur, shivering in the heavy rain.
This little thing should also want to hide under a tree to avoid the rain, but when it came to it, it found that there were human beings, so it hesitated.
After hesitating for a moment, the mouse finally hid next to the root of the tree and probed his brain at Liu Daodao.
Fate is really a wonderful thing, in other places, Liu Daode will definitely catch a mouse and use it as food for foodies.
It's just that now, in the face of this little guy, he can't give birth to any ideas.
The power of heaven and earth is terrifying, and he doesn't dare to use his magical powers. In this wind and rain, he is no different from the mouse in front of him, he is just a poor worm.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it shows no signs of stopping. The dense poplar leaves could not stop the wind and rain, and now Liu Daode was soaking wet, and his thin clothes could wring out the water.
However, he didn't have the heart to take care of his clothes at all, the thunder exploded in his ears, Liu Daode only felt that the white gas above his head was swaying, and his soul seemed to be about to break out.
Every thunder was a torture for him.
What we can do now is to hold on to our hearts and grit our teeth.
I don't know how long it took for the thunder to fade away, and the rain to become much lighter.
"Huh......" Liu Daode let out a long sigh and opened his eyes.
Turning his head, he saw that the little mouse was also staring at the mung bean's big eyes, secretly looking at himself.
The divine consciousness was quietly released, and he could still feel the huge energy contained in the void. The vitality of heaven and earth grows little by little in it.
The talisman also senses changes in the outside world and seems to be eager to try.
Liu Daode didn't dare to start practicing immediately, now the thunder has not stopped, and the slightest carelessness will damage the soul.
Finally, the thunder stopped.
He got up and wanted to move his limbs, but just when he stood up, his body staggered, and if he hadn't reacted quickly to hold on to the tree trunk, the whole person would have fallen into the muddy water.
It turned out that he had been sitting motionless under the tree for several hours, and his legs were numb from the cold, and he could not support his body at all.
In the place where the heart moved, the incense fire surged and swam along the bones and tendons. In a moment, Liu Daode felt his body warm and his legs regained.
Then he sat down cross-legged again and squeezed his hands.
I saw a trace of moisture coming out of my clothes, and the whole person was soon shrouded in white mist.
......Seeing this strange situation, the rat not far away was obviously startled and hurriedly fled into the distance.
In just a quarter of an hour, the moisture in the clothes was completely dispersed. The ground around it was three feet in diameter, and it became dry.
Comprehend the law of water veins, inspire with the power of incense, and dry clothes is as simple as that!
Yin and yang are intertwined, and heaven and earth are full of vitality...... After a few breaths, Liu Daode was already silent in it.
It wasn't until dawn that he got up from under the tree and walked towards a nearby town. With every step, the spiritual energy of the earth veins under his feet surged, and he was not muddy at all.
There is a place to sell breakfast in the town, Liu Daode ordered two steamed buns and a bowl of spicy soup, and left after eating.
The next day, it was still stop-and-go. There is no purpose, just do what you want, just perceive the surrounding leylines with your divine sense.
Day 3, Day 4...... Before you know it, a week passes.
Liu Daode has walked thousands of miles these days. Everywhere he went, he would ask if there were any temples nearby.
Ask for the place, and then go to the temple to check.
Disappointment, or disappointment...... He has seen at least 100 temples, large and small. Some of the statues of the gods in these temples are carved from precious wood, tall and mighty, and the whole body is gilded, and some are just the most ordinary clay sculptures and paintings.
But these are just statues, and there is no difference between them and those in Shannan Town, and the gods and spirits cannot be sensed in the temple at all.
Even the presiding officer or temple celebration of the temple is just an ordinary person.
Liu Daode had expected such a result before going out, but now that it has been confirmed, he is becoming more and more lonely in his heart.
Perhaps, he is really the only god in this world! The gods who filled the sky in ancient times, for some reason, have long turned into nothingness.
The confusion in my heart not only did not solve, but became like a heavy dark cloud, accumulating more and more.
During this period, Lin Xiaotong called once and asked him when he would come back, but Liu Daode only said that he didn't know, and it was estimated that it would take some time.
Hang up the phone and continue walking, walking from a wide field to a highway and then along the road into the city.
The city in front of you is the capital of a province, and it is naturally extremely prosperous.
Liu Daode stood on the side of the road, quietly admiring the high-rise buildings around him and the pedestrians walking by.
For a moment, he frowned slightly.
Noisy horns, pungent car exhaust, crowded crowds......
In the divine sense, there are too many chaotic breaths around them, evil gas, abuse gas, filthy gas, and filthy gas...... He couldn't help but muster the power of incense to isolate these breaths from three feet away.
Looking at the pedestrians around again, the footsteps are hurried, and many people are impetuous and numb on their faces. The white gas above their heads was constantly eroded by the filthy gas above the city, but they didn't realize it.
No wonder many city dwellers want to go to the countryside, which is not a place to stay for a long time. It's no wonder if you stay in such an environment for a long time and don't get sick.
Liu Daode shook his head in his heart, and walked casually, feeling the red dust and various noisy atmospheres of the city.
To the city, he was a stranger, but no one cared.
At least these bustling office workers around them didn't notice a maverick young man standing next to them at all. Maybe they found out, but they didn't pay attention at all.
When he saw the big words "XX Antique City" not far away, Liu Daodao's heart moved and changed direction.
On this street, there are many plane trees, many of which are as thick as the trunks and basins, and the trees are shady, which adds a little tranquility to the downtown area.
Under the plane tree, there are many stalls selling antiques.
It's not a Sunday, so there aren't many people here, and many stall owners don't have the heart to greet customers, so they let each other look at them.
Liu Daode looked around and found that there was everything on the stall: copper coins, silver dollars, bronze ware, calligraphy and painting, villain books, porcelain, swords......
However, in the divine sense, these things have no ancient meaning at all, and they should all be fakes. xh:.74.240.212
