Chapter 244: The So-Called Dao
It's close to noon.
August is the hottest time in Shu, and it is even worse at noon.
At this time, there was not even half a wisp of clouds in the endless sky, and the sun was like a grain of melting gold, flowing out an incomparably thick gold liquid, pouring down on this vast land without deviation.
The fields are staggered, and the boundless farmland is cut into small pieces. It is either green or golden, like a jade carefully carved by nature, which is even more dazzling in the sun.
Hot.
It's hot.
Very hot.
In the heat, the air seems to stop flowing and stagnate.
There is no wind, and even the most heat-tolerant mosquitoes hide in the shade of the trees at this time. The loaches hidden in the ground could not stand the high temperature, so they drilled the soil out and were dried alive.
It was such weather, and in a barren farmland, there were two people standing.
The two of them are full of straw hats, ice sleeves, face towels and gloves.
One person holds a rake and turns the soil in front of him.
The other man held a handful of seeds in one hand, and with the movements of the person in front of him, he kept putting them down, and in the other hand he held a watering can to keep the soil a little moist.
The sun shone straight down on them, moving slowly across the sky.
From southeast to west, it changes from bright gold to golden yellow and then to red. The clouds gradually appeared, dyed with dazzling colors by the sun that had burned for a day. Red, gold, pink, blue, like floating ribbons, obscuring the last afterglow.
It's dark.
The two came out of the farmland, supporting each other, exhausted.
The clothes have already been soaked with sweat countless times, and they are sticky to their bodies at this time. In normal times, it will definitely be very uncomfortable. But now I don't have the energy to care about that anymore.
Gollum took a big sip of water, one of them seemed to be a little more energetic, and turned to ask the other: "Zhou Fan, how long do you think it will take for us to finish." ”
The man called Zhou Fan did not respond, as if he had been crushed by great exhaustion.
The man continued, "Do you think it would be useful for us to do this?" I always felt that something wasn't right. ”
As if he was bored by the question, the shorter man replied angrily: "It's useless, don't do it!" ”
The man said to himself again: "But what he said is the truth, and I heard that Zeng Shen said that he is a famous senior, and he should be one of the five people he mentioned before." ”
"Such a powerful person, there's no reason to fool us, right?"
"Shu Lou! You don't look stupid, why haven't you reacted yet, he's lying to us! ”
Shu Lou took the sweat towel on his shoulder and wiped his sweat: "But what good is it for him to do this?" ”
"How do I know, ask him to go!"
”……”
Three hundred meters can be very short or long.
If it is in the daytime, it is illuminated by the scorching sun, and 300 meters is like an endless road, which is incomparably long.
By this time it was already dark, revealing an infinite deep blue. The stars appeared one after another, and the stars shone brightly, flickering and disappearing.
If there is a gentle evening breeze and frogs chirping, the 300 meters at this time will be quite pleasant.
But the two of them were not in the mood to stop and admire at all, they just wanted to hurry back to the farmhouse, clean it, and collapse on the bed.
"Bang!"
Zhou Fan directly slammed open the wooden door with his body, and then there was a clang, and the farm tools were thrown to the ground at will.
Unloading the weight and relaxing a lot, Zhou Fan walked into the room and sat down slowly.
"Whew."
With a long breath, he felt the aches and feel the relaxation all over his body, and the tiredness hit his brain one after another.
Zhou Fan fell asleep like this.
……
In his sleep, Zhou Fan seemed to be in a sea of light, and in the center was a huge ball of light, constantly expanding and contracting.
There are endless points of light scattered around the perimeter, irregular, unpredictable, slowly floating around the light cluster.
"And what am I?"
Zhou Fan tried to lower his head, but found that he had no head, no neck, and even no hands and feet.
Not knowing from which angle he was looking at, he found that he was now a speck of light.
Before he could be surprised, the huge light mass in the center expanded and contracted again, emitting an irresistible swallowing force.
All of a sudden, including Zhou Fan, countless points of light were sucked in from all directions and adhered to the light cluster.
Zhou Fan felt that he had become a ball of light, and it was gradually swelling up as he swallowed again and again.
……
……
"Zhou Fan, Zhou Fan?"
In the fog, it seemed that someone was shaking himself, and Zhou Fan slowly woke up.
When he opened his eyes, a handsome and handsome face was looking at him, his upper body was naked, revealing a few pieces of lean muscles, and the water droplets on his head had not yet been wiped dry.
"Why did you fall asleep so quickly, when you take a shower, wash and go back to sleep."
Shu Lou looked at Zhou Fan and kindly reminded.
Zhou Fan twisted his neck and shook his head, feeling the weight of the real existence, but he was still immersed in the strange dream just now.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but he feels that his perception and control of his body has taken a step further.
After washing, as if rejuvenated, Zhou Fan and Shu Lou angrily found Gu Xiang.
Gu Qian was sitting on a bamboo chair watching a prime-time TV series at this time, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he glanced at it and nodded lightly, which was considered to have said hello.
"Old God!" Shu Lou blocked the TV, "We won't do it tomorrow!" ”
"What's the matter, didn't you say it well during the day?"
"It's useless! What is the way to find the way, the sun is poisoned like that, how can there be time to observe nature, what is the so-called way! ”
Gu Qian said: "Rome was not built in a day, Xiao Shu, you are also a high-achieving student, you must understand this truth." ”
"It takes time and understanding, and there is no need to rush."
Shu Lou didn't care at all, although he had a gentle temperament and was sunny and generous, but farm work was the first time he did it in his life.
After the initial novelty wore off, the sun was scorching and the movements were dull, and he soon felt bored.
Persevering is entirely because of the thought of Zeng Yiqing's ardent expectations, as well as Zhou Fan, who was silent behind him.
Now when I came back, when I saw Gu Xiang, the anxiety of the day suddenly came up.
Gu Qian saw that he was flickering and didn't move, and was thinking about a new rhetoric, when he saw Zhou Fan next to him silent, he suddenly had an idea.
"Xiao Shu, look at Xiao Zhou, do the same thing as you, and after coming back, I didn't complain, although it was a lot darker, but it was obviously growing!"
Shu Lou also looked at Zhou Fan suspiciously, on the way back, Zhou Fan's temper was even more irritable than he was now, why was he suddenly quiet like a chicken without saying a word.
He didn't know that Zhou Fan was feeling his body little by little. After all this time of excavation, he became more and more sure that he was indeed a little different from before.
As a top player, he remembers every subtle sensation in his body. Only by controlling your body 100% can you make all kinds of fine and extreme operations, so that you will not be affected by nervousness, excitement and other factors.
But now he found that the instructions from his brain were reaching the effector faster than ever before.
Whether it's skin, fingers, or even hair, he can perceive and control it more meticulously, every piece of skin is trembling, and every nerve ending is cheering!
It was an ineffable one's total control over oneself!
