462, Peacock River, beautiful under the sky

Cheng Tianle said truthfully: "A toad wants to be reborn, of course the hope is slim, otherwise there will be no toad in the world, and it will all become a toad demon!" But yours is much luckier than other toads, and has retained five hundred years of wisdom and insight, and there is no need for anyone to guide you in passing on the Dharma. Although the opportunity of the year is difficult to appear, the deviation of the year can be avoided, and now there will be new opportunities.

Despite this, the possibility of not being able to cultivate is also extremely high, and you are likely to fall in the middle of the road, and there is only a chance to be reborn. But you sit in the secret room, vainly trying to take other people's Xuanzhu beads to heal your wounds, and you have no hope at all. Even if you succeed and recover from your injuries, I'm afraid that the catastrophe of rebirth will still not be overcome. Either you sit here for a hundred years and wait for your life to run out, or you try. ”

Yu Daoyang's voice was very low: "You just asked for the Xuanqi Demon Pill Dacheng, and you came to persuade me to make a decision on my own?" ”

Cheng Tianle: "That's right, if you follow this method, ten of you will not succeed in the tribulation, but self-determination." But being able to make a decision in this way is also a serious destination for you. ”

Yu Daoyang: "The old man Shouyuan still has two or three hundred years left, you can wait a little longer, maybe there is another turnaround." If you decide to do this now, if you don't succeed in cultivating, I'm afraid that it will fall in just a few decades, and you can't make up your mind now. ”

Cheng Tianle turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cave mansion, and finally left a divine thought: "I have five hundred years of life, and I can wait for you to make a decision, but I'm afraid that when you decide again in the future, it will be even later." …… I will come again. But it will not open the secret room and take away Yu Daoyang. If one day, I don't mind bringing a toad that has re-cultivated from the beginning back to the Ten Thousand Variation Sect, then at that time, I can take you as a disciple, and you will be subject to the precepts of the Ten Thousand Variation Sect. ”

This divine thought contains the purpose and specific situation of his founding of the Ten Thousand Variations Sect in Suzhou, and also leaves a "place" for Yu Daoyang. If this old toad really seeks to be reborn in this way. Abandoning the Xuan Zhu to start cultivating again from a toad, he can bring it back to the Ten Thousand Transformations Sect and accept it as a disciple, just like accepting that little monkey to get started.

If that toad is fortunate enough to break through the tests and become a demon again, there has been a complete transformation from the form of the god to the mind, which is equivalent to being a demon in one life. He is neither Yu Daoyang nor Yu Daoyang. Cheng Tianle also mentioned that he has a lifespan of five hundred years, which is indeed a very special situation, because he himself is equivalent to a Dacheng demon cultivator, and the process of condensing the Xuanqi Bead is the process of cultivating with the human body as the original body of the demon.

When it comes to this kind of cultivation, you probably know your longevity, and the demon cultivator's longevity is far longer than that of human monks. But how long it is related to both the race of origin and the cultivation. The so-called 500 years is an imaginary finger, which does not mean that Cheng Tianle can live to be 500 years old with his whole head and brain, but is determined by the approximate determination of his physical and mental state. If you are seriously injured, you may lose your longevity, but if you cultivate further, you can also live forever and transcend in the legend.

Cheng Tianle accidentally learned the magic technique of becoming a demon, and successfully condensed the Xuan Zhu under the guidance of Shi Ye, and his longevity was much longer than that of ordinary Dacheng real people. Therefore, his vision of many things has gradually changed, if it had been before, I am afraid that no one would have thought that he would say such a thing to Daoyang and propose such a proposal to the old toad.

When he was about to walk out of the portal. Yu Daoyang also sent the last divine thought, and did not say whether he had made a decision, but told him that there was something in the West Sichuan Cave Mansion. In this way, if Cheng Tianle finds it, he will be able to know what Liu Yanghe has taken and what Liu Yanghe has left behind.

Yu Daoyang also gave a detailed account of what he knew, which was inextricably linked to the original Tibetan Bon religion. The cultivation method is very strange and difficult, but after practice, it is extremely strong. Yu Daoyang had also heard of it when he was in western Sichuan, but he had never seen anyone cultivate, he thought that it had become extinct five hundred years ago, but he didn't expect that there would be people who would be able to practice five hundred years later.

If Liu Yanghe has sought to verify the completion of the iron tile golden house. His person must be extremely ruthless, Yu Daoyang told Cheng Tianle all the strange magical powers of the secret method he knew, and he knew it when he encountered it. The enemy is lenient, assuming that Liu Yanghe has become a great success, if Cheng Tianle does not have the Xuanqi Demon Pill Dacheng, it is impossible to be his opponent at all, and now he has the strength to fight, but if he is not defeated, flee quickly.

……

According to the results of contemporary water conservancy surveying and mapping, the source of the Yellow River is Maqu, also known as Yogu Zongliequ, which means "Peacock River" in Tibetan. In fact, the Peacock River is not only the name of such a river on the plateau in ancient times, but also the general name of all the tributaries of this basin, standing on the snow peak from a very high place, the tributaries of the valley bottom of the source of the Yellow River are sprinkled in a fan shape, which is dotted with many beautiful lakes of all sizes, just like the beautiful tail feathers of the peacock opening screen.

Where the tributaries meet, there is a plateau wetland. The basin surrounded by mountains is filled with swamps and thousands of lakes, dotted with different shapes, ranging from a few miles in radius to a few square meters in small ones. If you can fly in the sky and look down, these lakes reflect the sky and shine like the stars hanging upside down. This place is called the Sea of Stars, and in the Tang Dynasty, it was also called the River of Stars.

Five hundred years ago, Yu Daoyang was in the cave on the western Sichuan Plateau, and the Sea of Stars was a must-pass, and in the information provided by Xing Qiufu to Cheng Tianle, Nian Qiuye also mentioned that she would pass through a place called the Sea of Stars. The day after Cheng Tianle talked to Yu Daoyang in the secret cave, he had already flown from Dalian to Xining, the capital of Qinghai Province.

He found a travel company in Xining and rented an off-road vehicle under the guise of self-driving tours. Many local travel agencies provide this kind of service, and under normal circumstances, they can be equipped with a car, a driver, and a tour guide, and only need to pay a fee. But Cheng Tianle naturally couldn't let others follow, so he discussed for a long time, paid a large amount of insurance and a deposit to buy a new car, copied his driver's license and ID card on the spot, and signed an agreement at his own risk, and then drove the car away.

The so-called western Sichuan Plateau is not a modern geographical term, but a concept of orientation in ancient times, referring to the place where the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is connected to the mountains of Sichuan, in the west of Sichuan from thousands of rocks and ravines to the reckless plains, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River all originate here.

In the era of Daoyang, if you want to get here, the best way is to go west from Sichuan along the ancient road into Tibet, I don't know how many days to walk, how many hardships and obstacles to cross. But today's traffic is too convenient, Cheng Tianle flew to Xining first, galloped along the 214 National Highway, and arrived at Maduo County that night.

Before coming, Cheng Tianle was still a little worried about the road conditions here, and made full mental preparations, but this national highway is unexpectedly smooth and smooth, even better than the road conditions of many national highways in the mainland. There were very few cars along the way, and occasionally herders drove their sheep on the road and moved from pasture to pasture, slowing down to avoid the sheep. The road from Xining to Maduo may not be in the right season, and it is not yet the peak season of plateau adventure tours, and Cheng Tianle has encountered more sheep than cars.

It is already a plateau cold zone with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, the average annual temperature is below zero, the roadbed of the highway and the moisture contained in the sand and gravel of the road will freeze in winter and melt in summer, and the phenomenon of turning over the slurry often damages the road surface, and it takes huge manpower and material resources to maintain it in order to maintain such a smooth road condition. In this 45,000-square-kilometer area, most of which is no man's land, and there are only more than 10,000 residents, it can be seen that the country has invested huge resources all year round.

Driving on this plateau, if you are not immersive, it is difficult to experience that kind of artistic conception. The sky is particularly high and blue, the clouds are particularly white and beautiful, it is a real sky, the fields are spread out as far as the eye can see, the grass leaves are all light yellow in this season, and they gradually become dark brown in the distance, and the horizon is the outline of the mountains in light blue, stretching endlessly. "The sky is vast, the wilderness is vast" is not only a poem in a book, but also a painting unfolding in front of you.

The streams on the plateau also seem so spontaneous, open, thorough, and mysterious, and there are no embankments to bind them, and they flow freely on the grassland. The water is not deep, but the river is very wide, extremely clear and clear at a glance, zigzag like a piece of cursive, and the whole plain is the rice paper on which they write.

For a monk like Cheng Tianle who has the realm of Dacheng, walking on this highest plateau in the world, there is another feeling. This is also an excellent place to cultivate the way of the imperial form, the Yuan Shen stretch can be extremely far and deep, and when he drove forward, he also unfolded the Yuan Shen to touch this unprecedented artistic conception.

Of course, the scenery is extremely beautiful, but it does not mean that it can be taken lightly, in this mysterious and distant beauty, there is also a kind of forest atmosphere between heaven and earth, faintly revealing an invisible coldness. It seems to test the will of all living beings, it is so harsh and ruthless, and such a moving beauty seems to reject people thousands of miles away.

Among the wishes of many people, they may wish to go to this kind of place to relax when they are in a bad mood, and maybe they can stretch and relax in the vast plains away from the hustle and bustle. This mood may be due to curiosity, perhaps out of boredom with what the urban jungle sees day after day, perhaps it is the desire to have a different experience, or it may be the pursuit of a feeling that blends in with nature.

But as Cheng Tianle feels, this plateau is not suitable for everyone to relax, and in some cases it does not make some people's mood more soothing, and even adds to the melancholy.

The world here is vast, the beauty of the scenery is stunning, and the lurking coldness is also silent. If you come here with a melancholy knot and a depressed feeling, you will feel that you are so small between heaven and earth, and even all living beings are so small, and even life is light.
