552, Jasper Lake, Guanwen Zhijing
Asceticism is rare among the various schools of Kunlun cultivation, especially those who practice the Tao rarely practice asceticism. Because the practice itself is a kind of detachment from the physical and mental state, rather than deliberately pretentious and having to get along with oneself, many monks live very comfortably. Seeing those caves and blessed places are like a fairyland on earth, more wonderful than the most beautiful gardens in the world, and the cultivation itself is a great enjoyment, which ordinary people can't experience at all.
Of course, the monks of various sects occasionally have times of asceticism, and the main purpose is to make up for the lack of knowledge in the red dust, so that they can break through the tests of many realms. For example, Yu Cangwu, the current head of Haitian Valley, used to beg in the world when he was young, traveled around the world to eat and sleep, and witnessed all kinds of suffering in the world.
Yu Cangwu was open-minded by nature and did not take suffering as suffering, and later had some references, so that he realized the realm of "contemplation is suffering". There are also many people in the world who know how to enjoy hardship and sharpen their mentality and will, and they are all commendable. But Cheng Tianle's situation is a little different, he is not unmistakably bitter, and he knows very well that the place he came to is very sinister; He is not here to be happy, because he has no bitterness in his heart, but is really happy.
Of course, this has something to do with his cultivation, and he would not have come here without cultivation, but it is in line with the true meaning of the cultivation itself. The purpose of the so-called cultivation is to pursue the true freedom and freedom of the physical and mental state. Whether it is the realm of cultivation, or the magic power, it is all included.
Cheng Tianle's cultivation at this time, of course, cannot be compared with Yu Cangwu, who is now a master. But Cheng Tianle's state of mind is in line with the true essence of the seeker's leisure, he didn't deliberately think about what was leisurely, but it was natural.
The next day, after sunrise, the scenery of the plateau and snow-capped mountains is so beautiful, Cheng Tianle walked naturally with the trademark hehe giggle. And Zi Hao and Sheng Long began to tease the heavy snow again, talking to it along the way. Heavy Snow blinked and guessed what they meant. Then they made a comparison, and Zi Hao and Sheng Long continued to guess the riddle, and they had a lot of fun.
After they had gone far, the two white apes crawled out of the distance and peed among the rocks, leaving a new enclosure breath.
They walked along the grassy slopes at the edge of the basin until noon, and faintly heard a rumbling sound, which came from a very distant place, intermittently, but the further they went, the clearer they could hear. Zi Hao said: "Senior brother. Ask Heavy Snow, is there a herd of wild horses in this place? How does it sound like a big frenzy of startled horses galloping! ”
Cheng Tianle replied quietly: "That's the sound of thunder, we're almost there." ”
Sheng Long was shocked: "I already knew that there was thunder in that place, but this is a sunny day!" The sun is shining, how can there be such a dense thunder? ”
Cheng Tianle: "The weirdness and mystery on the plateau. It's impossible to tell if you don't see it with your own eyes, it's a valley, and this basin may be completely two climates, two worlds. Just like this basin, there are two worlds with the plateau beyond the snow-capped mountains. ”
When they arrived, they followed the rumbling thunder to a gravel beach, and the cliffs in front of them parted to the left and right. A deep valley mouth is exposed. The valley inside is still surrounded by snow-capped mountains, and it is difficult to see what is going on from outside. But when they were miles away, they could see that the valley was cloudy and lit up with lightning bolts. The sound of thunder rolled in, and the sight couldn't help but make people gasp.
They were actually standing on a riverbed that flowed out of a valley formed by the melting snow and rain of the summer plateau. There are no artificially constructed river channels. The surface of the water is wide and dark, and many places are gravel beaches. It meanders all the way into a large lake in the middle of the basin. In the distance, a bear was wading in the river, as if fishing, and looked up vigilantly.
Cheng Tianle Chong Daxue said: "You just wait here, if you encounter any danger, avoid it in time and hide yourself." We go into the valley and I'm afraid it will be a few days before we get out. ”
Daxue nodded, looking at the light of the clouds and lightning exposed in the mouth of the valley from afar, and couldn't hide the fear in his eyes, and pointed to the mountain wall on the other side and whined a few times. Cheng Tianle understood its meaning, and asked a few more questions, the heavy snow means that there is a place to rest over there, and the thunder in this valley is sometimes big and sometimes small, and then go in when there is no thunder.
This is a good construction, in the divine thought sent by Daoyang, it was mentioned that the climate in that valley is very strange, maybe when the clouds are thick and thunder will not stop, but it is not thundering all the time, and the calm weather is the best time to take the thunder gold. But what Cheng Tianle saw with his own eyes was even more terrifying than Yu Daoyang's description, and the thunder and lightning were too dense, so it seemed that he needed to wait for a while today.
He followed the heavy snow and walked more than a mile to the left, there was a fault crack in the rock wall, which extended very deep inward, but the bottom was flat and paved with gravel, so that he could shelter from the storm at dusk, and rest in it for the time being, and wait for the thunder to subside. When he was thinking about the mountain wall, Zi Hao suddenly shouted: "Senior brother, there are words there!" ”
Many of the cliffs on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are smooth and smooth, which is not particularly noticeable, and the mountain wall here is also very smooth and flat, with a few numbers engraved vertically, because there is no coloring, you need to go close to see that it is a manual lettering, each word is the size of a person. Cheng Tianle had seen a lot of strange handwriting on the snow-capped mountains around the Peacock River, and it was the same kind of writing that he saw here, which should be ancient Sanskrit, of course he didn't know it.
Sheng Long asked: "Mr. Cheng, this handwriting should have been left a long time ago." Could it be that this place was once inhabited, and what is written? ”
Cheng Tianle was already stunned, his eyes were full of incredulity, and when he heard the question, he subconsciously replied: "Jasper Lake." ”
Zi Hao exclaimed in surprise: "Senior brother, do you know these words? ”
Cheng Tianle: "I don't know, but there is a divine thought in the words, I can read the meaning, if it is expressed in Chinese, it should be Jasper Lake." ”
Sheng Long: "Cheng is always smart! Is this the consummation of the way of the gods? ”
Cheng Tianle had already recovered from the shock and said with a wry smile: "It's not that I'm smart, but the person who engraves the words is smart." If the cultivation of the way of the gods is complete, and you can understand its meaning by looking at it from the perspective of the original god, no matter what words are written. ”
This passage is very mysterious, even Zi Hao and Sheng Long are not easy to understand, and Cheng Tianle also used divine thoughts to explain. He already has the magical means to enter the country with his words, and at the same time he can imprint the various artistic conceptions contained in the language into the other party's primordial spirit. And the person who left the inscription on the stone wall was more clever, he no longer had to stand in front of Cheng Tianle to speak, when the cultivator of the path of the gods saw this handwriting, he could enter with the text.
Cheng Tianle didn't understand those words, but the divine message naturally expressed a certain artistic conception, and the language he was most familiar with was - Jasper Lake. What kind of person has such a miraculous means to leave such a miraculous message after a thousand years of stone inscriptions? The mana in the condensed handwriting has long been dissipated, but when Cheng Tianle watched it with the method of the gods, its mysterious artistic conception was still there.
Thinking of this, Cheng Tianle suddenly turned around and looked into the distance through the basin. The passage was like a huge gap between the snowy peaks, and it happened to be directly facing the valley of falling thunder. Cheng Tianle suddenly entered an incredible artistic conception, his face shook palely, and he almost fell to the ground, and his mind seemed to have been greatly impacted.
Zi Hao was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" Is there any weird circle hidden here? But I didn't feel anything, where did the mana come from? ”
Cheng Tianle closed his eyes and gasped, touched his chest and said: "I don't have any mana to hurt me, just now I suddenly felt a kind of artistic conception, and the impact was too shocking, and it almost hurt the Yuan Shen." …… This is because my own cultivation is not enough, but I am reluctant to spy on and comprehend the unknowable realm, even if it is just for a moment, I can't stand it. ”
Cheng Tianle didn't really see anything in the fixed realm just now, but suddenly immersed in a certain artistic conception, as if he had experienced a scene that had appeared here. A giant blade fell from the sky, forcibly splitting a gap in the snow-capped mountains on the opposite side of the basin, and the indescribable mana could even cut through the space of heaven and earth, and went straight through the basin into the valley of falling thunder, leading to the collapse of a space that seemed to not exist.
What is "space as if there is no zài"? It is similar to the Thousand Pillars Dojo and Lianyun Secret Realm that Cheng Tian has seen before.
What kind of power is this? Is there such a power in the world? Has this really happened here? If so, why is this happening? Seeing the inscriptions on the stone wall, Cheng Tianle realized that this place might have been the cultivation cave of a certain sect a long time ago, but now it has long been destroyed. Apart from the occasional stone wall handwriting, no other traces have been left here. Could it be that the scene I suddenly sensed just now was the reason for the qiē of the guide?
There are some supernatural realms that cannot be snooped at will, and if you can't cultivate, you can't experience them at all. Cheng Tianle saw the inscription on the stone wall and felt something, turned back to look at the gap in the mountain peak on the opposite side of the basin, and coincidentally entered a certain state of concentration, and vaguely glimpsed the incredible scene. But with his cultivation, he almost injured the original god.
That scene was not a figment in his mind, but he really entered that artistic conception. When I come back to my senses, don't say that I'm afraid, I can't find that feeling anymore, and I can only be shocked in my imagination. But did that really happen? In the plateau basin, there are no more traces of thousands of years of reincarnation, and perhaps more clues can be found in the valley of Luolei.
At that moment of entry, he did not suffer any substantial mana attack, but Cheng Tianle's spiritual energy consumption was extremely great, so he walked into the rock gap pointed by the heavy snow and sat down to breathe. At this time, he already understood that although the Xuanqi Demon Pill was completed, the cultivation realm was still far away, and the incredible supernatural powers that had appeared in the world were even beyond his understanding.
