Chapter 390: Glowing Firelight, Away from Chaos
"Sleep, look at the stars. This is also the mental method of cultivation? "The scavenger of the moon was lying on the stone slab of the cave that had been cleaned up during the day, looking at the black line of the starry sky outside the skylight on the roof of the cave. Those five words just now are the cultivation method that the scavenger used to transmit to him by the way when the scavenger was Yushu and Linfeng during the day, and the scavenger almost fell to the ground when he heard this cultivation method.
However, he had already decided to stay, he did not turn around and leave directly, but chose a cave to live in on the second layer of the mountain peak according to Yushu's instructions. After tidying up the cave, the scavenger walked curiously towards the third staircase. But within a quarter of an hour the scavenger came down in a sweat.
This mountain, which reaches into the sky, seems to be very different from the magnetic field of the outside world, and it goes up from the first staircase to the second. The scavenger didn't feel much, but as soon as he reached the third step, the scavenger suddenly felt as if he was walking into a quagmire.
After coming down to rest, the scavenger went to the first staircase to feel it, and then to the stargazing platform without any special kind. Then I came to the second step again, and this time I had a clear feeling of a scavenger. The gravity on the first step is about 0.5 times higher than normal outside. The second step is 1 times the gravity. But the third step suddenly increases to 5 times the gravity, which is why the scavenger feels so much of a difference.
However, 0.5 times the gravity, 1 times the gravity, as long as you pay attention to it, you can still find it. But the scavenger didn't seem to notice this before, and after thinking about it, the scavenger gradually felt that he seemed to be a little too relaxed when he was around Yushu and Linfeng. Although the scavengers are not guarding against anyone, the state seems to be a little too relaxed. I didn't even feel the increase in gravity in my surroundings.
"The people in this Stargazing Pavilion are really weird." Recalling the passage of Yushu and Linfeng, the scavenger couldn't help but mutter. Then he looked straight through the skylight at the stars in the night sky outside.
The skylight at the entrance of the cave is large, but when you get to the top, it feels a little narrow. It's like walking on a road lined with trees, and when you look at the other end of the road, the road seems to get narrower and narrower. But in fact, nothing has changed on the main road. It's just an illusion of what the eye sees.
The skylight in the cave is the same, the scavenger cave has a minimum of more than 10 meters at the widest point and more than 5 meters at the narrowest point, which is an irregular oval. But when the scavenger looked down the skylight into the endless night sky, he could only see about two or three stars. Looking at the night sky in this way gives you the feeling of sitting in a well and watching the sky.
"These stars seem to be a little different." Staring at the stars that could only be seen in the skylight for a long time, the scavenger felt that his eyes were a little sour. But just when the scavenger wanted to retract his gaze and take a break. Suddenly, I felt that these stars seemed to be a little different from the stars I had seen before.
In the past, scavengers looked at the stars in the wild, and what they saw was the stars of the whole sky. The empty starry sky does not have any special touch other than to give him a sense of mystery and vastness. Sometimes there may be a little bit of people who don't see the ancient times and months, and this month has been according to the feelings of the ancients.
And no one cares what it feels like to have a star, but today's focus on looking at so many stars does make people feel special. But this feeling is a little vague, not very early but real. The scavenger was a little vague about whether this feeling existed or not.
"Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a time. Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. And how many people have wanted to look at the big picture throughout the ages. But you can't even control a moment, a corner? It is important to be far-sighted and consider the overall situation, but the overall situation is also a corner, and a corner is cumulative. So there's nothing wrong with saying the other way around. In the past, you only saw the vastness of the stars, but have you ever carefully observed the charm of a single star that makes up this vast starry sky? Just when the scavenger couldn't tell if the feeling was real or just a hallucination of his own moment. A drunken voice rose in the scavenger's ears.
The scavenger, who was originally a little confused, was stunned for a moment, and then his whole body instantly tensed. The head looking at the skylight turned a little bit to look at the entrance of the cave. I saw that there was an old man holding a wine gourd standing there. He said he was an old man, but this man had thick black hair. More exuberant than some young people. His face is also quite young, as if a young man in his twenties is in his prime of life.
But his whole person standing there gives people a sense of vicissitudes. This is a kind of precipitation of years and the accumulation of experience. Even a young man cannot have this kind of temperament no matter how old he is, and the old man's eyes are a little cloudy, as if the youthful color in his real old eyes has been hidden by the years. And his cloudy eyes carried a hint of drunkenness, as if the whole world was as hazy as his cloudy eyes.
"Old ...... Teacher! Seeing the old man, the scavenger was stunned and quickly stood up from the stone slab where he was lying.
"You want to call me an old drunkard, right, it must be the old stubborn who told you the name." Xingchenzi looked at the scavenger and said with a smile in his eyes.
"That ......," the scavenger couldn't help but smile awkwardly. His first reaction just now was indeed to call the old drunkard. Because he knew the name of Lu Dao in his heart, he suddenly saw Xingchenzi and had this knee-jerk reaction. But fortunately, the scavenger reacted quickly enough, omitting the last two words, and turned the old drunkard into a teacher in time.
"There seems to be something special about your body, and your origin has been damaged before. This will cost you less than 30 years of life. But then, I don't know why your origin was made up again. And it's more abundant than before. So there are some special changes in your body. It seems that the old stubborn has taken a fancy to something else. Otherwise, such a good disciple, he would not be willing to forget himself here. Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the scavenger, Xingchenzi did not show a look of displeasure in life, but glanced at the scavenger, and a look of surprise appeared on his originally plain face.
"That...... After entering the game, I accidentally obtained and ate a multicolored nasturtium. The scavenger scratched his head and said, though he looked a little silly. But a cold sweat broke out behind the scavenger, and from Xingchenzi's words, the scavenger could be sure that Li Lao should not have said anything about himself to him.
But it was just the first time they met, and Xingchenzi found his biggest secret at a casual glance. This made the scavenger have to be shocked, and at that moment the scavenger seemed to be standing naked in front of Xingchenzi. Even the deepest secrets in my heart are clearly seen by the other party.
Seeing the appearance of the scavenger, an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Xingchenzi's mouth, obviously seeing the secret in the scavenger's body. And he said it again, in addition to showing that his eyes were not annoying. Xingchenzi also wanted to shock his apprentice and leave a deep first impression on him.
"Come with me, although it's a little bad for you to just touch the threshold of stargazing and disturb you, but these stars are not with you. You go to another cave. Where a star is good for you. The old stubborn asked you to come here, and most of them should have come for it. If I don't take you there, I guess that old stubborn will come to my door to settle accounts. And I have a lot of expectations for you. After all, there is such a thing as a multicolored golden lotus. ”
Although Xingchenzi's expression was very flat when the scavenger said that he had eaten the colorful golden lotus, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching when he said the colorful golden lotus at this time. Obviously, the existence of that kind of natural treasure can be comparable to the immortal medicine after it matures, even if he has a little twitching in his heart about the scavenger cow chewing peonies.
"What star is there for me?" The scavenger asked, curious. Although the scavenger also had some speculations in his heart about Li Lao letting him come here, it was just a guess, and he didn't have a very clear concept. So at this time, Xingchenzi said it so bluntly, he was really curious.
"Glowing Star." Xingchenzi glanced at the scavenger, his gaze a little complicated and a little hesitant. Obviously, he could determine the purpose of Li Lao asking the scavengers to come here to learn the arts. But not everyone can see which star they are. Because it's a plague.
The Glowing Star is a malevolent star that portends kingdoms and disasters, and each of its appearances is accompanied by the blood of the sword. It is an out-and-out disaster star, which the ancients called the glow confusion, which is the glow of the fire, the meaning of separation from confusion. Therefore, the glowing star is defined as a great omen in the hexagram. It's too late for ordinary people to dodge, so naturally no one wants to observe it. But Elder Li seemed to mean that he wanted the scavenger to get something from the glowing star.
"Glittering Star?" The scavenger was stunned for a moment and did not understand what star it was, although the scavenger was interested in ancient weapons and some of the powder guns that had become obsolete. But he is really not familiar with the names of some ancient people for constellations.
"It's what people often call Mars." Xingchenzi opened his mouth to explain.
"Mars." Hearing this name, the scavenger suddenly realized, because people are still more familiar with Mars. Because when human beings walked out of the earth and stepped into the stars. Mars was one of the first places to establish a base for settlements. So modern people are familiar with Mars.
However, I was a little puzzled to know that the Luminous Star was a Martian scavenger, because the Martian scavenger had also been there. It's a little hotter on that planet though. There was a sense of restlessness in the air. However, this is a common feature of the original lifeless planet, which has been transformed into a settlement base.
Because these planets were not life stars before, or they were originally the most life stars, but they died out for some reason, and they are not suitable for human habitation. So even if it is changed to be habitable, the climate and air are a little different from the life star. So the scavenger was a little puzzled that Xingchenzi took himself to see the star.
"Although you may have been to Mars in reality, the ancestral land of mankind is still from Earth. How much do you know about the Earth? So don't just look at the superficial phenomenon, any star, whether it is far or near, whether it is far away, or close to touch, it is enough for you to feel for a lifetime. Xingchenzi spoke, as if he saw the scavenger's doubts.
Hearing Xingchenzi's words, the scavenger couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand something. And it seems that he doesn't understand anything. But Xingchenzi didn't say anything more. Instead, he turned and walked out of the cave, and the scavenger followed without hesitation.
The two of them walked down the stairs of the second floor until they reached the end of the second staircase. Then Xingchenzi's body turned, and the scavenger followed. I found that the stone road that had reached the end turned around, and after turning around, a sheep intestine path appeared. The trail is a slope that follows the stone path upward, and at the end of the stone path a cave appears.
However, this cave was different from other cobweb-covered and dusty caves, and in the darkness of the night the cave glowed with fire, as if the light on the flickering fire in the distance was faintly swaying in the night.
As the scavenger approached, he couldn't help but walk up, because when the stone path was halfway there. The scavenger feels that the air is filled with irritable factors that enter the body with the breath. It makes the hungry blood veins in the scavenger's body have a boiling feeling. And it's an uncontrollable boiling, something that you don't usually dare to do. In this state of boiling blood, there is no scruples.
This factor makes people excited, excited, irritable, as if they were being instigated. There is always a feeling of being out of control. This feeling made the scavenger very disliked, because he lost his cool. To lose your level of mind is to lose your judgment. And if you lose your judgment on the battlefield, even if you are a god, you can only end up hating the battlefield. Therefore, as a once good commander, the scavenger does not allow any uncontrolled emotions to appear in his body.
"You're moving too fast, even though that's something many people dream of. However, it is easy to leave the root of unstable foundation, which can make your original vain foundation even more vain, but in this environment, if you lay a solid foundation. Then it will be more solid than the usual way to stabilize the foundation.
This is your first step in enrolment, and if you complete it, we will move on to the next step. In the future, you can practice here, and I will order someone to bring the food, and if you can, try to stay here and not go out. In reality, except for the three urgents, I slept in the game with a helmet. The academy's martial arts are only a few months away. There's not much time left for you. When the stone path came to an end, Xingchenzi stood at the entrance of the cave and said to the scavenger, as if he did not mean to go in with the scavenger.
"How do you practice that?" The scavenger nodded, crossed the stars and prepared to enter, and when he walked to the entrance of the cave, the scavenger couldn't help but turn around and ask.
"Didn't Yushu Linfeng tell you?" Xingchenzi glanced at the scavenger in surprise, and then said, "Sleep, look at the stars." ”
"This ......," the scavenger scratched his head, and asked what was good, but he still didn't understand in his heart.
"Different people see the same thing and have different understandings. Different people look at the same star and have different understandings, stargazing is definitely the avenue, and the avenue is inclusive. It can accommodate countless trails. And only those who find their own path in the avenue can understand what the real avenue is. So I want to understand how to cultivate. See for yourself. This star belongs to you, so you have to find your own way to communicate with him. This method is tolerated by stargazing, but it is yours. ”
"I seem to understand a little." The scavenger nodded and walked inside.
"Fate is evil, but killing is evil. This kid's life is a little special. And ......" Xingchenzi, who saw the scavenger walking in and muttering quietly in his mouth, paused, and looked at the cave in front of him that seemed to be a glowing fire, and a trace of solemnity flashed between his eyebrows: "Old stubborn, you actually want to kill with disasters, if this kid can't control himself, it will cause a big disaster." But...... Woe to disaster. This world is chaotic enough. It's not bad either. Maybe this kid will make it to the top.
Xingchenzi pulled the stopper off the wine gourd, poured a sip of wine into his mouth, and glanced into the cave. After muttering for a while, Xingchenzi did not leave, but lay down on a stone beside the stone road, and muttered in his mouth: "For the sake of the old stubborn who once invited me to drink, I will guard it for you on the first day." But...... This kid seems to have become my disciple when he came to me. It is natural to guard the customs for him, and it is estimated that the old stubborn will not accept this favor. This cunning old stubborn. There is such a calculation in sending this kid over. ”
The scavenger didn't hear the fragments of the stars outside the cave. He didn't have the experience to care about any of this, for as soon as he entered the cave, the scavenger's eyes turned blood-red and his mind was in turmoil. Originally, the memories that were selectively forgotten by the scavenger with amnesia began to emerge faintly because of the agitation of the blood veins of the scavenger's body. Although these are just fragments of memories that are not very clear, they have become an introduction, an introduction that makes the scavenger forget the memory loose without using the 'key' to open the forgotten memory. Therefore, the scavenger who walked into the cave kept changing his expression in his eyes at this time, and fell into a constant struggle.
The scavenger's eyes became warm and smiling, as if he had seen the scene of laughing and scolding with his comrades in the past. Sometimes it turns blood-red, like a wild beast that chooses and devours people. A low roar emanated from the scavenger's throat as the fragments of memory grew like the low roar of a wounded beast licking its own wounds.
It seems to warn the enemy not to approach, and it seems to comfort the loneliness of being left alone after the great battle in his heart. This sound has the furious roar of a wild beast, but also the lonely howl of a lone wolf, with a kind of firmness in pain, looking for a home in loneliness. (To be continued......)
