463, colorful dragon scales, found in the sea of stars

On the surface, it seems that he can temporarily forget his troubles, escape and stay away from right and wrong, but in fact, when he returns to the environment of daily life, the sense of melancholy, autism and loss will be stronger, and he thinks that he has been liberated. Therefore, we often see that some people have a tendency to be depressed and autistic when they encounter certain things, and some psychological problems are not solved, so they go to this kind of plateau and vast place to try to relax, but they go further and further away in the crowd.

This is a misunderstanding in the cognition of many contemporary people, including many psychologists who advocate "environmental therapy". For people who are depressed and autistic, and whose psychological cruxes cannot be solved, the best place to relax is actually a slightly cluttered, lively, warm, and interesting place.

For example, vegetable markets, farmers' markets at the junction of urban and rural areas, lively scenic tourism streets, food and snacks streets where people come and go, and so on. Or the unique old residential alleys, look at the bits and pieces of daily life, unnoticed vitality, and really immerse yourself in the feeling, which is the best relaxation to eliminate depression. If you dislike and resist these, that's where the real psychological problem lies.

So can this mysterious and shocking beauty of the plateau and mountains make people feel comfortable? Yes, of course, very much! But it's best to appreciate it with an open heart. When you are restrained, it is because of awe, when you are frenzy, because of your dedication, and when you have the mood of opening your arms, you will have the freedom of your mind. Only by clearly knowing its coldness and the natural majesty of heaven and earth can we appreciate the tenderness and intoxication of living beings and the beauty of movement, and we can also take away this beautiful enjoyment and belong to ourselves forever.

Cheng Tianle had listened to Melander explain the subtleties of the earth's qi and spirit, environment and state of mind, and when he himself broke through the realm of Dacheng, he had a vague glimpse of the mystery of the echo of heaven and man. When he came here, he could sense the breath of this plateau and mountains so clearly from his own heat, under such a heaven and earth dome, of course, it was excellent to cultivate the way of imperial form, but in different states of mind, he could cultivate different minds.

That night, he stayed in Maduo County for one night, and Cheng Tianle also felt a trace of fatigue, which was different from the tiredness of ordinary people, his energy was still vigorous, and he could not sleep or eat, but compared with himself, it was difficult to adjust his spirit to the peak state. Maybe it's altitude sickness, which often doesn't come until some time after reaching the plateau.

Of course, it doesn't matter if Cheng Tianle's cultivation is done, what he has been affected by is only a little bit of influence, on the other hand, it may be that he has experienced too many things recently, and he needs to reminisce and digest it in meditation, so that the form and spirit can be completely comfortable. Thinking about his experience in the past few days, it is indeed absolutely rich and full of twists and turns.

The morning before yesterday, I flew from Suzhou to Pudong Airport to Chengdu, and in the afternoon I entered the Qianzhu Dojo to worship the mountain, and in the evening I talked with Xing Qiufu and enjoyed the ancient wonders of Xianyou Divine Lantern. Yesterday morning, it was difficult to explain the battle of the law, and then rushed to Dalian overnight and entered the secret cave to see Yu Daoyang. By this evening, he had spent the night in Maduo County, a remote and almost unknown county on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Our Cheng always seems to be smirking and unhurried, but he is really neat enough to do things!

In the best path provided by Daoyang, Maduo is also one of the stops, in the Ming Dynasty, it belonged to Duogan Xingdu to command the envoys, and Cheng Tianle took a shortcut to reach it from the other direction. From here in the Ming Dynasty, there were no ready-made paths, not even the desolate and precipitous Luoma Ancient Road, which needed to be carried west along the Yellow River through the wilderness until the Sea of Stars.

This is an extremely difficult test for the herdsmen who live here all year round, but today Cheng Tianle is very lucky, from Maduo County to the west, along the Yellow River to the upper reaches of the punishment, and now another road has been built through the mountains and valleys to the source of the Yellow River in neighboring Qumalai County. Although this road is not as good as the 214 national road, it is absolutely no problem to run an off-road vehicle.

Nowadays, many famous people have traveled this road by car, in order to visit the beautiful scenery of the plateau and the source of the Yellow River. The construction of this road is also in the name of developing a comprehensive tourism project at the source of the Yellow River. But to be honest, this place is not suitable for large-scale commercial tourism development at all, not because its scenery is not beautiful and tourists do not yearn for it, but because it is too remote and the environment is too harsh, and there are not many days of the year when the climate is suitable for outsiders to visit.

Cheng Tianle's off-road vehicle carries a first-aid kit and oxygen cylinder, which is provided by a local travel agency, and the car has also been modified to have a spare fuel tank, otherwise it is really difficult to find a gas station along the way. Cheng Tianle walked along this highway is not long, looking at the odometer is about more than 200 kilometers, and the straight-line distance on the map is more than 100 kilometers, the so-called "not long" is only the concept on this plateau, if it is changed in Europe, it may have been to other countries, but in

It's not out of Maduo County yet.

He didn't even see a single car that day, and he only met herders and sheep twice on the road, so it is conceivable that most of the time the road was not traveled at all. Only in the right season will there be various scientific expeditions, expeditions and small groups of tourists passing by occasionally.

Cheng Tianle is not in a hurry, he is not in a hurry, he is in a hurry with the fastest speed and the best path, it is useless to be in a hurry, the road is under his feet, just walk! This is the general state of mind of Dacheng Demon Cultivation. At the moment, he is like a pure tourist, unfolding his spirit to experience and appreciate the vast heaven and earth dome and grassland mountains.

Along the way, there are many yaks, antelopes, and even snow leopards and red foxes, which are far away from the road on the grasslands and rivers, and it is difficult for tourists to see them, but they cannot hide from Cheng Tianle's eyes and keen sense. In the icy river that flows quietly, there are many unknown rare birds, some places the river flows in the sun, while others are covered with ice and snow.

Cheng Tianle did not follow the road all the way to the source of the Yellow River, which was not his destination, and after passing the beautiful Zhaling Lake, Cheng Tianle actually drove off the road and walked in the southwest direction on the alpine grassland, avoiding some potholes and undulating areas from time to time, including seemingly flat grasslands, but semi-swamps that could trap the wheels. It is only possible to drive in such a place if the consciousness extends extremely far.

But he didn't drive more than a dozen kilometers, and he couldn't drive in front of him. Cheng Tianle simply picked up the key and abandoned the car and walked, there are no car thieves here, I am afraid that I will not see a single figure for several years, and I have never seen such an open and random parking lot for so many years. From here, Cheng Tianle entered the Sea of Stars west of Zhaling Lake.

The Sea of Stars is so beautiful that legend has it that only the gods can appreciate all its beauty from above. Maybe it's because of the seasons, or maybe it's because of the change of climate, but the sea of stars that unfolds in front of Cheng Tianle's eyes is not the same as the beautiful scenery hundreds of years ago. In Daoyang's confession, it contains the landform of the Star Sea.

Surrounded by mountains, there is still a beautiful basin dotted with hundreds of lakes, large and small, many of which are frozen, and some "lakes" are places where the course of a river suddenly widens. The distribution of the river here is intricately arranged according to the topography, like a spread net. But some of the rivers are dry, and there are many low-lying areas in the basin, revealing cold, hard plateau gravel, sparse weeds, and what looks like the remains of lakes without water.

The aquatic plants here are very abundant, you can see the traces of various birds and animals, and there are also strange flowers and plants unique to the alpine zone; In some places, however, it is very desolate, with a dry, hard surface that is bare and semi-desert. Maybe it's because the climate is getting drier, or maybe it's because of the seasons, it's March in the solar calendar, and the snow on the mountains in the distance hasn't melted yet, and the climate is still cold, especially at night.

Cheng Tianle saw the mountain where Yu Daoyang's cave was located at the other end of the sea of stars, he couldn't see it, his eyes passed through the flat ground, and the towering mountains in the distance stood on the horizon, Cheng Tianle already knew the characteristics of that peak. As the saying goes, Wangshan runs dead horses, especially the snow-capped mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which can be seen clearly on the horizon, but if you really want to reach it, it is not the concept of running a dead horse, maybe the car is running out of gas, and it is still on the horizon.

In this plateau where the air is thin, full of rivers and lakes, and in many places it is semi-desertified, even if Cheng Tianle has a body of cultivation and knows how to practice the gods, it is not a day or two to walk there. What's more, Cheng Tianle had another purpose when he arrived at the Sea of Stars, anyway, one thing was done, and two things were also done, so he walked as straight as possible towards the dangerous peaks in the mountains, and collected medicine along the way.

Among the eighteen flavored elixirs for refining Lu Wu Shenlun Dan, there are two flavors that can only be found in an environment like the Star Sea, one is the color dragon scale, and the other is the Zhimu root.

Of course, the colorful dragon scales are not real dragon scales, otherwise Cheng Tianle would have nowhere to find them. In the lakes of the Nakshatra Sea, there is a kind of fish called the Naked Carp, which has only a few scales on the shoulders of its body, and most of the other skin is bare, and the scales and the patterns on the skin are similar in color, mostly blue-gray and yellowish. However, there are some particularly large spotted naked carp, the spots on the body are dragon cloud patterns, and the scales also reflect a colorful luster.

In alpine lakes, fish grow very slowly, but because they are not fished, some fish become very large over the years. When the naked carp has cloud-patterned spots and colorful shoulder scales, it will often jump out of the water and make a beautiful trajectory in the sun. Such a spotted naked carp is rare, slender in size, and weighs at least more than ten catties, which reminds people of the legend of the carp jumping over the dragon gate, and the colorful scales on its body are the colorful dragon scales.
