Chapter Eighty-Eight: Distress on the Road

Along the way, the car ran very fast, and there was no stop to pick up passengers on the way, and Zhu Yan and the others only took more than three days to arrive at Jicheng. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the afternoon, they enlisted the help of a local man, and soon bought enough food, production tools, and household items. Zhang Zhongyi and the elder brother Zhang Liang both know some carpentry work, and they also bought some carpenter tools.

Then, they went directly to the foot of Changbai Mountain and did not stay in Jicheng. When they arrived at the foot of Changbai Mountain, it was already close to dusk, so they casually found a hotel in the town to stay.

The next day, just after dawn, they got up. After breakfast, everyone packed their bags and walked towards the mountain under the leadership of Zhu Yan and Chen Lan.

The bags everyone brought this time were also heavy enough, adding up to nearly 700 catties. Considering that it was not easy to go down the mountain, they brought three or four hundred catties of rice and flour alone, as well as clothes, tents, production tools and daily necessities, not to mention three hundred catties.

Although cultivators do not pay attention to food and clothing, in such a cold and inaccessible mountain, if they are not fully prepared, they may freeze to death and starve to death. Especially Reporter Zhou and her friends, they have never cultivated, and their physique is not very good, so they still have to prepare the necessary measures to keep warm.

Fortunately, there are many people now, and the average person is about fifty pounds. However, each person's cultivation is different, and their physical strength is also different, so the weight of the assigned backpack is different. Zhu Yan, Master, and Senior Brother almost each carried more than 100 catties of things, while the rest of the people almost each carried 30 or 40 catties of supplies.

Now, before he began to practice in seclusion, he had already tempered his mind. In terms of physical strength, this trip is definitely not much easier than the training of the special forces.

In this way, everyone walked on the mountain road of Changbai Mountain with difficulty, walking and stopping, and walked for almost an hour, and finally they were so tired that they couldn't walk, so they had to rest on the spot and cook on the fire.

During the break, we also talked about some things about cultivation and ordination, and that being a monk has its own benefits of becoming a monk, and if you let go of everything, maybe your mind will be easier to calm down and you will enter the Tao faster. But for a person with a family, becoming a monk means that he has to abandon the person he loves the most, how can this be embarrassing?

Does cultivation have to cut off the love thread and stay away from the red dust? Practitioners for thousands of years have become accustomed to understanding and practicing in this way, causing those who come after them to have the same habitual thinking.

But Zhu Yan felt that this was not necessarily the absolute truth, Fu Xi, the Yellow Emperor, and so on in ancient times, no matter how you look at it, were obviously great cultivators, but they had never become monks. Cultivating the mind is more about cultivating the mind and increasing the information energy of the spiritual world, and although becoming a monk can reduce the interference of chores and distractions, and enhance the practitioner's absorption of information energy, it is easier for lay people with rich emotions to accumulate their own information energy, and the difference between them is still undecided.

For thousands of years, the reason why practitioners have emphasized the elimination of the seven emotions and six desires is that on the one hand, it is necessary to guide the material ** to the spiritual pursuit, and on the other hand, why not to reduce the difficulty of cultivation? You must know that when this person lives in the red dust, it is inevitable that there will be times when his emotions are violent, and once this kind of agitated energy gets out of control, it may destroy the foundation of his cultivation at any time.

However, just for the sake of easy cultivation, is it a bit of a practice to reject the emotional experience of this life? Zhu Yan has seen many stories of near-death experiences in books, those who are on the verge of death, at the moment when his soul leaves his body, recalls not how much wealth and beauty he had, but what emotional experiences he has experienced in his life, especially which experiences of love.

This seems to mean that the meaning of life may lie in these kinds of emotional experiences. If this is the case, then it is even less worthwhile to reject all emotional experiences for the sake of practice. I don't know if those great cultivators in ancient times entered the world to practice, is it also because of this reason?

Zhu Yan felt that this must be the case, the so-called saint's cultivation of the mind and great love to become holy, only the cultivators who enter the world and love others can be grateful by hundreds of millions of people, and can also make their soul energy reach a terrifying level. Otherwise, even if you achieve success in the path of birth and cultivation, you will only be spooning water in your own small water tank, how can it compare to the vastness of the sea of great cultivators?

It is precisely because of this idea that Zhu Yan is quite supportive of Zhou Shu's kind of idea. If you go to the bottom of the Changbai Valley this time, you can open up a piece of paradise, and then let them bring their families and live the tribal life of a thousand years ago, it may not be a bad thing.

After more than an hour, everyone's strength has regained somewhat, so they picked up their backpacks and prepared to hit the road. Zhu Yan quietly opened his spiritual sense, and finally connected with the crow and the sika deer group through the vitality ribbon on the Mind Tree.

The Crow was cultivating on the top of the mountain, and it was near the crater where it had been last time, and its injuries had healed and its feathers had grown. The herd of sika deer is in the dense forest of another mountain, about three or four hours away.

Telepathically, Zhu Yan invited them to help, and they readily agreed. The crow flies very fast, and it takes less than an hour to arrive. And the sika deer herd rushed to the front and met them, it took two or three hours.

Zhu Yan and Chen Lan opened the road in front, and the big guys followed them, the road in the dense forest was particularly difficult to walk, and if you were not careful, you would make a mistake. Although it is still the same old road, because there are too few people walking, it only takes ten days, and this wild mountain vine is almost submerged.

In this way, they overcame obstacles and groped their way through the dense forest, and walked for more than half an hour. At this time, Zhu Yan and Chen Lan suddenly stopped, their expressions were full of vigilance, and Zhang Yiyi and Teacher Chen knew what they had noticed, so they asked everyone to squat down quietly.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a large group of wolves to suddenly emerge from the dense forest in front of them, there were hundreds of them, and everyone was shocked.

Zhu Yan and Chen Lan, Master, and Senior Brother were tightly guarding in front of everyone, and Teacher Chen and Mrs. Fang were also tightly protecting several students behind them.

In this case, Zhu Yan no longer cares about the virtue of a good life, as long as the wolves approach, he will kill them.

The wolves also seemed to be hungry for a while, and their mouths opened wide and their red tongues stretched out, as if they were about to pounce. The big wolf at the head hesitated slightly, it wanted to tear the group of prey in front of it in one bite, but its keen instinct warned it that there might be great danger, which made it hesitate to approach.

Zhu Yan didn't attack immediately, there were many of them, and these wild wolves might retreat. Moreover, once so many wolves disperse and attack, he is also lacking in skills, so it is better to wait for them to get closer before making a move.

When the two sides confronted each other, a crisp birdsong suddenly sounded above the dense forest, and as soon as the wolves heard this cry, they immediately retreated in horror, as if they had encountered an even more terrible beast.
