With the experience of walking alone in the jungles of the Calado Mountains and the great desert, Fang Tian became even clearer about certain feelings.

He could travel and explore in these uninhabited environments alone, and he had endless fun, Fang Tian felt that if he continued like this, he should not get tired of it for ten or a hundred years. However, if he is the only one on this continent, he will still be very lonely in his heart.

Why?

For many days in the desert, when he was resting on the sand dunes and basking in the sun, Fang Tian couldn't help but think about this question.

Emotional ties?

Regarding this, Fang Tian's heart was actually a little complicated.

In the two years in this world, he had established a family-like relationship with many people, especially the old and young in the Maple Forest Compound, but Fang Tian knew that their previous "time flow" was not the same. While there is little need to think about it at the moment, someday, someday......

When he first came to this world, he knew from the residual consciousness of that little pot friend that after being promoted to mage, his lifespan could be doubled, and he was ecstatic at that time.

And when he was really promoted to become a mage, his state of mind at that time didn't care much about this problem.

It's good to be alive, but if you've found your way and are firmly on it, it doesn't matter where or when you want to go. If you can keep going, that's the best. But even an immediate suspension at any moment is not unacceptable.

Then the initial law, the middle law, the high law, and the great law......

Until now.

In this process, Fang Tian almost never considered the question of how old he could live, so to speak. It's up to you to extend your life as long as you want.

However. There was one thing that he had to face sooner or later.

That is, in these two years. His feelings, whether they are deep or shallow, if there are no accidents, will basically fade away one by one with the passage of time in the course of his life, until Red Rock Town and Yanhuang City are strange in his heart little by little, and there is no difference from other places on the mainland.

In this process, I think I will continue to meet other people, but the position in my heart is different. How. It is still to be slowly experienced in the future, but only at this time, after a little imagination, Fang Tian already has a feeling of "this situation can be recalled, but it was already confused at that time".

And apart from the emotional connection, what does the rest of the world mean to him?

Pretend to show off in order to show off your own save?

Don't you feel too lonely by yourself?

Not really.

Fang Tian likes to pretend to b. But in fact, it's okay not to pretend, and it won't look aggrieved.

As for a person being too lonely, it may be a little, but actually. The mountains, rivers, plants, and trees, especially the latter, will allow him to integrate into a large collective. If you put a b point here, say. That is, heaven and earth are embraced. There is heaven and earth, that is, there is no loneliness. There are mountains and rivers, and you can swim. If there is grass and trees, that is, they can swim.

With his current level and situation, he really communicates with people or his own kind in order to learn from each other's strengths, but he is in a secondary position. Heaven and earth, landscapes, plants and trees are his real embrace, at least for the time being.

So, why?

Come to think of it, these days in the desert have not been able to figure it out too much. And at this moment, just when he suddenly heard the bell that should have been from the caraavan for a long time, Fang Tian suddenly understood.

This bell came like a heavenly sound, and he was enlightened all at once.

Fang Tian remembered a poem by Liu Yuxi in his previous life: "Thousands of sails pass by the side of the sinking boat, and ten thousand trees spring in front of the sick tree." ”

A boat capsized and sank, but above it, a thousand sails still raced. One tree is sick and withered, but its surroundings are still full of trees.

Heaven and earth are vast and magnificent, mountains and rivers are majestic and calm, and plants and trees are endless, but the most vast and magnificent, the most majestic and calm, and the most endless, are still human beings. It is only among human beings, or only in the civilized countries established by human beings, that there are so many, so fast, and so dazzling "new every day, new every day, new every day".

Human life, invention and creation are the result of the world, the landscape, and the plants and trees, but they are the sum of the three, the subtlety of the three, and in the end, they will become the brilliance that the three cannot have.

Heaven and earth, landscapes, plants and trees are one heaven and earth, and human civilization is another heaven and earth.

The latter derives from the former, but has a better future than the former.

The latter is more desirable and heartwarming than the former!

The reason why he is more willing to look up to heaven and earth, trek mountains and rivers, and get close to plants and trees for the time being is just a return to his roots after his cultivation has reached an extreme realm. And after returning to the source, we still have to set off again, from the small world of heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, grass and trees, to the great world of human civilization!

In the previous life, there was a cloud in Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching": "All things are negative yin and embrace yang." ”

For him, the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth are yin, and human civilization is yang, stepping on the two heavens and the earth, negative yin and embracing yang, but it is his current and for a long time to come, even forever, "the way of yin and yang"!

As soon as he thought of this, Fang Tian suddenly understood.

I only feel that my mind and consciousness seem to have broken some long-standing invisible restraints and shackles, and suddenly expand abruptly, not only "rushing to the clouds", but also diverging towards the whole heaven and earth, and there is a feeling of truly embracing this heaven and earth or being truly accepted by this heaven and earth.

Even the slightest indifference to this world brought about by crossing has completely disappeared.

Then, similar to intuition, similar to the underworld, Fang Tian felt that his mental consciousness had come into contact with something, extremely far-reaching, extremely grand, and waiting to be carefully observed but indescribable. And this feeling is only for a moment, and then it comes and goes.

Fang Tian didn't care too much.

One qiē, the time to come will come sooner or later. In terms of cultivation, since the path was established and he walked on a stroll, he had long ago stopped worrying about the results of his practice. Wherever you go, you are where you are, and where you go. It is the realm, the real "peace with the situation".

Quiet. Because of this way, this heart, carry out the past, present and future. As for the results of the practice. It has long been irrelevant.

At this moment, a coordinate, or a base point, or a principle, was determined in Fang Tian's heart. ——Since then, when the world has been up and down. If I am before the world, I should be the leader, if I am with the world, I should be the wanderer, and if I am after the world, I should be the one who learns and is the upward.

Pitch heaven and earth. Accepting sentient beings is also the new "Yan Huang".

With an indescribable indifference and leisure, the next moment, Fang Tian smiled and walked in the direction where the bell came.

The view on the desert is the widest.

When Fang Tian crossed a small hill, they both approached each other's line of sight. In front of him was a flat river, and the other side was also perched high on a sand dune.

As expected, it was a caravan.

Just as Fang Tian approached the caravan from a distance with a smile. But he didn't faintly hear the other party's vigilant voice and arrangement, it was a big man who should have entered the fifth level, and after a brief gesture and shouting, the entire caravan stopped. Then it contracted and changed the formation.

Under the gaze of the entire caravan, Fang Tian slowly approached little by little.

When there were still two or three hundred meters left, the fifth-level martial artist led by the big man. He asked in a deep voice, "Who is coming?"

Fang Tian stroked his chest with his right hand and saluted slightly: "I am a traveler from afar. I have crossed thousands of cities. He has also trekked thousands of miles of jungles and crossed the boundless sea. And now, walking through this long sand, I have met you. ”

As soon as these words with the meaning of infinite pretending b came out, the entire caravan on the opposite side immediately became Sparta.

The fifth-level big man and the two fifth-level and sixth-level magicians in the crowd had the most complicated expressions, they should have looked at the comer from head to toe and from foot to head many times before, at this time, they all looked at Fang Tian in a daze and were speechless for a while.

After a long time, the martial artist big man waved his hand, announced the dissolution of the formation, and then asked Fang Tian, "Honorable guest, are you willing to walk with us?"

"That's very good! I'm sorry to disturb you brothers!" this time Fang Tian smiled and hugged his fists in salute.

Then, just like that, Fang Tian joined the caravan.

Previously, Fang Tian was chasing the direction of the morning sun, all the way to the east, but the direction of this caravan was from north to south. In other words, the two sides were not head-to-head just now, but the X axis met the Y axis, and at this time, after joining the caravan, Fang Tian's direction also changed.

As a "traveler from afar", Fang Tian is still very popular.

Not only the big men in the team, but also a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl and an even younger boy who was only eleven or twelve years old, after a little timidity at the beginning, they also quickly gathered around Fang Tian.

It seemed that Fang Tian's identity had been basically confirmed, or that some kind of concern had been dispelled, and the words of the girl and the teenager were interspersed between them, explaining to Fang Tian why they were all on guard when they met before.

They brought a large number of valuable goods to the large-scale trade fair of Dadamu Lake (Sacred Lake), which is held every five years.

Because there were a lot of goods this time, they deliberately took a long detour to the desert to avoid encountering sand thieves of all sizes who were entrenched in the desert. This has been walking for a long time, there is no trace of people all the way (as expected when the departure did not meet the sand thieves), seeing that the trip has been halfway through, but suddenly saw someone, naturally frightened, afraid that Fang Tian is a spy of the sand thieves.

"Oh, it's not far from coming out of this big desert, are there many sand thieves on the edge of the desert?" Fang Tian asked.

In fact, the first half of this sentence was nonsense, according to the changes in the moisture in the surrounding air, Fang Tian had long known that it was not far from walking out of the desert. However, what was at the end of the desert, Fang Tian really didn't know, he didn't use large-scale induction, it was too boring.

Comparatively, Fang Tian preferred to slowly step on that land with his feet in an ordinary way.

Of course, it's not so ordinary. Just say that this boundless desert is not something that ordinary people can cross.

"Yes, Uncle Muro, we live on the edge of the desert. I thought you were a sand thief, but I was scared to death. The eleven or twelve-year-old boy named Xiaodong said, causing a burst of laughter from the big men around him.

"This desert seems to have a sandstorm at night, are you not afraid of danger?" Fang Tian asked suspiciously.

Fang Tian was not asking nonsense, walking in this desert day and night, he had understood the strong winds and sandstorms in this great desert more than once. Whenever evening comes, there are basically three or five out of ten days when strong winds blow, and at least one or two of them cause a big sandstorm.

Judging from the lineup of the caravan in front of him, even if it is rubbed by the big sandstorm, it is likely to be the result of the annihilation.

Let's not talk about the fifth-level martial artists at the head, let's just talk about the two fifth- and sixth-level magicians, this little bit of cultivation is not enough to see at all. A magician can only fly when he reaches the mage level, and even if it is a quasi-law, if he is caught in the big sandstorm, he may not die, but it is certain that he will fall into a wolf.

As for the fifth- and sixth-level magicians, just one word, forget that you are a magician, just like mortals, pray to the gods and ask the gods to bless you!

As soon as Fang Tian asked, the entire caravan was silent, and then the fifth-level martial artist named Tie Damu (many people around the Holy Lake have similar names, there are two in this caravan) said with vicissitudes: "Your Excellency Mu Luo, you don't know something. Sandstorms are terrible, but sand thieves are even more ferocious. In addition, we have lived on the edge of the desert for generations, but we have a little understanding of sandstorms. ”

Fang Tian understood, and then nodded.

When these people encounter sandstorms, if they can prevent them early, they really don't have to let the sandstorms roll into the sky casually like him. On several occasions, he thought of himself as a big discus, making sandstorms wrestle and even amusing himself. But if it's an ordinary person, it's a tragedy that couldn't be more tragic.

"Uncle Muluo, aren't you walking barefoot on the sand, isn't it hot?" asked the young man again.

"It's not hot, it's actually very cool, I don't believe you try it. Fang Tian said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xiaodong stuck out his tongue and squeezed his eyes and grimaced, looking like a fool had just tried it. The atmosphere of the caravan was enlivened again with this answer.

"Uncle Muluo, are you really from a distant place, as you just said, walk through ......" At this time, the girl finally couldn't help it, and asked for the first time.

Actually, it's a girl, but in terms of dress and demeanor, it's more like a boy who stumbles and crawls. But this doesn't seem surprising. This girl's name is Xiaoxi, it should be the sister of the young Xiaodong, I don't know if they have brothers and brothers, but according to Fang Tian's guess, most of them have.

"Yes, I walked through the mountains, across the sea, through the jungle, across the desert. Isn't it amazing?" Fang Tian spread his hands and said with a smile.

"Awesome!" the girl stuck out her tongue just now, "Uncle, would you like to tell us a story from afar?" (to be continued......)
