Chapter 458: Desert Yellow Sand
Although I had long expected that Huangshaling would not be a good place, but when I arrived at the land, the desolation in front of me still surprised Nanfeng, there was nothing but sand in this place, there was no water source, no grass and trees, and naturally there would be no living creatures.
There is nothing on the ground, there must be something underground, come to the underground, and sure enough, I found a city buried by yellow sand, the city is very small, the damage is serious, and the visual inspection is the building of the Qin and Han dynasties.
On the west side of the ruins there is a land temple, the real thing is long gone, what exists is a virtual temple, it is said that the temple is simply lifting it, smaller than the shack, in it, unable to straighten the waist, unable to stretch out the legs, can only sit.
It is the habit of the south wind to endure hardship, to enjoy happiness, and to enjoy happiness without suffering, although the environment here is harsh, it can be improved.
Although the land is small, it also has mana and can move earth and stones, and the most important thing is that he not only has aura, but also has endured incense from Chang'an for a few days, and expanding his residence is just a gesture.
With a wave of his hand, the small temple expanded threefold, although it was still not large, at least it could live in people.
Since there is no form, it doesn't really make a difference whether you are lying down or sitting, and even so, the south wind still conjures up a stone bed, which is just out of habit, and is actually of little use.
Lying down and relaxed, the environment here is harsh, but it is very quiet, and no one will bother him, which is exactly what he needs.
There is another advantage of living here, that is, safety, there is no one here, no one needs to do errands, if you don't work, you won't make mistakes, and if you don't make mistakes, others won't have a chance or excuse to design and frame him.
In addition, this area is surrounded by endless desert, and there is no other land under the jurisdiction, so the gods and immortals have no excuse to come here, which is also beneficial to him, if someone comes to make trouble, he will immediately fight back, killing is also killing in vain, and death is also in vain, because once the matter is big, the other party has no reasonable excuse to explain why they came here.
If he could sleep, Nanfeng would definitely have a good sleep at this time, but after becoming an immortal, he couldn't sleep if he wanted to, and this change made him very unaccustomed.
But after thinking about it, no, the immortals should just not need to sleep, but in fact, they can still sleep, but they have just become immortals, and they don't know the essentials.
After many attempts and repeated explorations, I finally fell asleep, but the sleep of the gods is not the same as the sleep of mortals, but more like the hibernation of animals. Before going to bed, you must determine the specific time of sleep in your mind, and when the time comes, you can wake up. And waking up is not as comfortable and relaxed as when mortals wake up, to put it bluntly, it is the same as sleeping or not sleeping.
The land lord is not a ghost, he is underground, and he knows the situation outside, but in fact, there is no situation outside, and if you want to talk about changes, it is only the sunrise and the moonrise, and the day and night change.
In order not to forget the years, it is necessary to try to keep time, and the countdown is simple, condense the earth and stones, turn into a small altar, and put a piece of gravel into the jar every day.
On the first day, Nanfeng was busy figuring out how to fall asleep.
On the second day, recalling the past, in fact, the specific arrangements have been explained to the fat man, and there seems to be no omission.
On the third day, the incense was broken, although he left Chang'an, the incense has not been broken, and it is still gathering and accumulating, but at this time the incense suddenly stopped accumulating, and the change occurred at the turn of Tatsumi, this time is usually the time when the new land takes office, so it can be seen that the incense is not subject to the region, but is subject to the position, and the people of Chang'an worship the land of Chang'an, and after the new official takes office, those incense is taken by the new land.
On the fourth day, Nanfeng began to try to study the Book of Heaven, and because he knew that speed is not enough, he did not comprehend it word by word, but read the known eight volumes of the Book of Heaven coherently and silently, in order to be able to understand it before and after.
It is said that practice makes perfect, if you can memorize the book of heaven by heart, you can scrutinize and study it with less stumbling resistance and more smoothness.
Due to the lack of the third volume of the Book of Heaven, the front and back can not be completely coherent, this feeling is very bad, not from the beginning to the end of the overnight, every time you go to the middle of the way, you will be hindered, lose the feeling, break the rhythm, such as the back of the man, such as the fish in the throat, it is rare to be smooth and refreshing.
Anger is always inevitable, but not to be angry, although the third volume is missing, so that the book of heaven can not be complete, but he alone has eight volumes, this is already a great creation, life is unsatisfactory eight times out of ten, nothing is perfect, to be tolerant of flaws and defects, can not find faults, demanding perfection.
There is no distraction, less worry, and even no need to eat and sleep, this state is most suitable for meditation and foresight, for several days in a row, the south wind is memorized and meditated, only when the mind is tired, go out to breathe, pinch the sand into the small altar.
Since there is no vegetation around, it is impossible to judge the change of weather by the prosperity and withering of vegetation, and it should be early winter, when the north wind is blowing outside, but it is only windy, and there is no snow.
At first, Nanfeng enjoyed this quietness very much, and the scrutiny of the Book of Heaven also made slight progress, the so-called progress is not a specific gain, but a general understanding of the essence of the Book of Heaven, the Book of Heaven is not a secret book of martial arts, and there is no specific spell recorded, the Book of Heaven is more like an invisible law that is universal everywhere.
Half a month later, this peace was broken, and it was not external interference that broke the peace, but his own impetuousness, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't calm down.
This is a feeling of panic, boredom, and irritability, at first Nanfeng also tried to forcibly suppress it, but then the situation became more and more serious, and he could not calm down at all, sensing the danger, Nanfeng suspended the scrutiny of the Book of Heaven, freed up his energy, and found the reason.
First of all, external interference can be ruled out. Without a physical body, it will naturally not be a physical cause. Studying the Book of Heaven is only a combing and smoothing, and there is no specific refinement, so naturally there will be no such thing as going mad, not to mention that the Book of Heaven is not a martial arts cheat, no matter whether the research is correct or not, there will be no situation of going mad.
After ruling out the possible causes one by one, I finally found the root of the disease, and the reason why I was impetuous was because I was too focused, which made the yin and yang imbalanced.
You must know that the yin and yang of the human body not only refers to the qi and blood of the body, but also contains the relaxation of the primordial spirit.
Some people are active, some people like to be quiet, but whether it is an active person or a quiet person, it is not a completely single movement or stillness.
Active people also think, but they think very little, but it doesn't mean that they just don't want to.
And people who like to be quiet do not blindly think, but also have a time to put what they want into practice.
His problem lies in blindly thinking, his spirit is still and unmoving, and his spirit is unrelaxed, to put it bluntly, he is too focused, too tense, and never relaxed.
If you find the root of the disease, you try to alleviate it, but there is not much you can do here, there is nothing else on the ground except sand, and if you want to find something to do, you can only look underground.
The city was not abandoned suddenly, the people who originally lived here must have moved elsewhere and left nothing behind, but in the process of wandering around, he found an abandoned well blocked by mud and sand.
When he had nothing to do, he used his mana to remove the sand and dig downward, and soon dug a spring from a dozen zhang away.
But the water vein is not vigorous, the spring water must not overflow, can only continue to dig downward, the same location, in different depths may have multiple water veins, digging out several places one after another, the amount of water is small, until digging down more than 50 zhang, and finally digging a vigorous water vein.
The spring gushes upwards and soon overflows the surface.
At first, the spring water seeps into the surrounding sand, and when the surrounding sand is full, the spring water begins to gather from the low-lying areas, gradually forming puddles.
After a few days, the puddle turned into a small pool of three feet square, and then it did not expand, and the water was three feet deep and very clear.
Nanfeng dug the well just to distract the mind, not out of need, digging is digging, in fact, it is not very useful, when the mood returns to peace, he goes back to continue to study the Book of Heaven.
Soon, there was another gain, and this time I understood that the reason why the Book of Heaven was obscure and difficult to understand was not because its content was too jerky, but because it was too large, the scope was too wide, and there were too many things covered. If a law applies to ten things, its expression cannot be too precise, and if a law applies to all things in the world, it is bound to appear empty and empty.
The biggest difficulty in scrutinizing the Book of Heaven is not to understand its literal meaning word by word, but to compare the content of the Book of Heaven with the many contradictory and integrated appearances of heaven and earth, Qiankun, yin and yang, right and wrong, good and evil, men and women, etc., and find out the many laws hidden in it.
Comprehending the Book of Heaven is actually the way of comprehending Heaven, only by peeking into the way of Heaven can it be possible to penetrate the Book of Heaven, once you have penetrated the Book of Heaven, you can find out and master the hidden laws of Heaven, and have the great ability to influence and change the Yin and Yang of Qiankun.
The so-called fast, in fact, is only for Nanfeng, in fact, these Xu Xinzhi took him more than a month, and unconsciously, it has been more than two months since he came to Huangshaling.
During these two months, he had not seen a single person, had not seen a living creature, had not even spoken a word, and the extreme silence gave him the illusion that he was the only one left between heaven and earth.
But reason told him that there were many people in the world, and they all lived in the outside world, but he couldn't see them, and as time went by, the feeling of loneliness became stronger and stronger, and he desperately wanted to talk to people, no matter who they were, and no matter what they said, even if it was just a few small talks.
When I was extremely lonely, I found a bird falling by the waterhole above.
Seeing the living creature, Nanfeng was not happy, and hurriedly appeared and went out and grabbed it.
The bird was an ordinary chickadee, chirping and chirping after being frightened, and the sound was not pleasant, but it sounded like a fairy sound to him, and what he heard most these days was the whistling wind.
When he finally saw the living creature, Nanfeng had the heart to raise it, but after watching and stroking it for a long time, he still let go of his hand and let go of the chickadee, there was nothing to eat here, and the finches would starve to death if they stayed here.
Watching the flutter its wings and fly away, Nanfeng was not sad, he had always thought that the biggest problem in the following years was how to penetrate the Book of Heaven, and now it seems that in addition to the Book of Heaven, there is another problem, that is, how to survive from this endless loneliness......
