When I walked out the door, Grandma Land was crouching under the trellis in the southeast corner, with her back to the doorway, her shoulders shrugging and sobbing.

"How do you persuade?" I didn't think about which angle to start with, so I had to walk over first.

Grandma Land is holding a straw stick in her hand and is directing a group of red-headed little ants to move.

The red-headed ant has the highest IQ of all ant species, not only can complete the transmission of information such as cooperative operations and carrying food through simple body movements, but also can entangle the ant army when the crisis strikes, launch an earth-shattering group battle, and finally win a big victory.

Grandma Land used a straw stick to direct a group of black and crushed ants to line up, and carried the food into a large cave in an orderly manner. Every time an ant falls behind, she carefully pulls the other ants apart, leaving a chance for the stragglers to catch up.

"Senior, if I do anything that can relieve you, I will definitely spare no effort to do it. People can't be resurrected after death, and what the Tujia brothers did this time was all to fight against the Japanese invaders. In the same way, if I were them, I would not hesitate to do it. I said.

Grandma Tu shook her head: "I am not mourning for the death of their brother, but because our young generation of Chinese thaumaturgists don't know what's wrong, and when they encounter problems, they only stay on the surface and don't seek solutions." Let me ask you, their brother is dead, have you achieved your purpose?"

"Purpose?" I asked.

"The purpose, of course. "Grandma Land seems to be immersed in a game with red-headed ants.

There was more than one ant nest on the ground, but all the ants, under her command, always burrowed into the same nest, ignoring the other holes.

"What's the use of the submersible technique? That's the purpose. She added.

I smiled wryly, unable to answer.

If you explain the matter of the Mirror Room to her, you will definitely not be able to explain it in a few words, and the disappearance of the Mirror Room is a mystery, and even with the Hidden Ground Technique, the hope of finding it is still extremely slim.

"If I could pass on the art of submersion, I would use it to find a building that had sunk into the ground, where my lover was in place, and there were many secrets that shouldn't be buried. I said.

There is no beginning or end to saying this, and I don't know if she can understand it.

"That's impossible. Grandma Land shook her head.

I nodded, "Yes, I understand that, too. If I hadn't met the Tujia brothers and witnessed their amazing thaumaturgy, I don't think it would have been possible. However, the submersible technique is a powerful weapon to cut through all contradictions, and at least it gives me hope. ”

Indeed, when Tu Lao Er took me out of the "dragon head" array, the process of sinking, translation, and excavation was smooth, and I didn't feel the slightest resistance of the soil, and I had already arrived outside the small courtyard.

As a thaumaturgist, I don't deny any thaumaturgy, even if it's expressed in a way that's absurd, I'm willing to look at it carefully, think about it, and let it give me a new meaning in my life.

"That thaumaturgy comes from ancient times, almost lost, and what our Tujia family has now is only one millionth of the divine power of the ancestors. As for my two unsuccessful sons, they have only learned a little bit and pretended to stir things up everywhere. They ended up where they are today, and they can be regarded as a well-deserved death, and they can't blame anyone. She replied calmly.

For those ancient gods, human beings have worshiped them for generations, and they dare not have the slightest disrespect, let alone delusional attempts to surpass them. However, in my opinion, once the conditions of talent, diligence, and method are in place, people can stand out in certain fields and be on a par with the gods.

I have this confidence and just wait for the opportunity to soar.

"I'll teach you. Grandma Tu sighed, "You have talent, and I am willing to teach, but we don't apprentice, don't salute, and don't be commensurate with master and apprentice." If you say yes, I can teach you now. ”

I was overjoyed and nodded my head repeatedly.

Grandma Land threw the straw sticks away, and the ants scattered violently without the slightest nostalgia.

"Why didn't they run away and now they run away? There's only one reason, you've given up the power of psychological bondage to them. The straw stick is just a tool, and no matter how good the tool is, it is impossible to boost your momentum. People in the rivers and lakes, if there is no momentum, no matter how much money there is, it is useless. If people are in the soil, if the momentum is like a long rainbow running through the sun, there is no obstacle between heaven and earth, and you can go wherever you want. The first step of the submersible technique is to make you have the ground in your eyes and no land in your heart-"

That's all she said, and I already have a lot of understanding.

The highest level of those who practice swords, knives, and guns is the unity of human swords, human swords, and human guns.

Then, in the field of submersible arts, if people and the earth are integrated, then I have you, you have me, and it has reached the point where the water is melted and there is no distinction between each other. Then, wherever I go, it is the most natural thing to do, to advance and retreat freely, and to give what I want.

I looked down at my feet, and the soil here was a mixture of loess and fine pebbles. There are gaps in the sand, and when the gaps are incomparably larger or the human body is incomparably smaller, it is easy to pass through the sand.

"What do you see?" asked Grandma Land.

"Gaps in the sand. I replied.

"Wrong. "There is nothing there, no dirt and no sand, it is empty." You're a feather that lands wherever you want......"

Her words are hypnotic, and it is not easy to break free from the whirlpool of her thoughts.

"Shouldn't you see the gaps? How can you get through without the gaps?" I asked myself silently.

After the ants dispersed, the ground was empty and messy, like an ancient battlefield after the battle, faintly revealing infinite desolation and panic.

I thought again: "How can we do this, how can we break through the interface of the earth's surface, and we don't look at the land, but we don't look at the land, and we become one with the land?"

Thaumaturgy is all about "epiphany", and I obviously can't understand the mysteries of subterranean yet.

"Do you know the battle of the Zhou division in ancient times? My ancestor Tuxing Sun can travel 800 miles underground in a day, advance and retreat freely, and kill the enemy with fear. He is the one who really knows how to steal the earth, and since ancient times, no one has been able to match. As the descendants of the Tu clan, limited by talent, each generation will lose some of the essence of the submersible technique, and we can only rely on our personal efforts to barely inherit it. This causes everyone to be physically and mentally tired, and it is a huge burden. A lot of Tu's disciples vomited bitterness, saying that the submersible technique was useless, and they could not use thaumaturgy like Zhou Yi's gossip and divination, and they could apply what they had learned and gain fame and fortune in the troubled world. As the head of the Tu clan, this is a headache for me. I often wonder to myself, is this submersible technique really useless?Since it is useless, why did my ancestor Tuxing Sun create it in the past?"

Just ten minutes ago, she still had a tough posture of cherishing herself and never passing it on, but now she has changed her attitude.

I don't know, what is the reason for this transformation?

It is recognized in the thaumaturgical world that dragon slaying is the most useless and difficult to learn a kind of thaumaturgy, and it took seven years of dedication to practice, but after learning it, there were no dragons to slaughter in the four seas, and it was difficult to display it, and finally died suddenly with a thaumaturgy that could not be performed once in a lifetime.

According to the ideas of the young children of the Tu clan, the submersible technique is also the same as the dragon slaying technique, which is complicated and useless, and it is better to learn some means to apply what you have learned and learn to get rich.

I'm the only one who needs 100% help from the subsidence of the mirror room. It can even be said that there is no way to find the mirror room except for the submersible technique, and the only way to find it is to bury it deep under the Nine Grounds.

"You must wonder why my attitude is so condescending, rejecting you in front of Jingguan Xiaowu, but here I promise to teach you?"

"I'm not the best person to pass on the art of diving, but I'm the only one who will have the opportunity to perform it and show the thaumaturgy of the Tu clan to the world. Only by passing it on to me can the submersible art continue to flourish and remain in the palace of Chinese thaumaturgy forever. I replied.

I think I have also guessed the mind of the land grandmother, which is also the mind of the founders and inheritors of all thaumaturgy, to pass on these crystallizations of human wisdom forever, from generation to generation, forever, in order to prove that those great people really existed.

These thaumaturgical bigwigs want to be stars in the galaxy, not fleeting, white horses.

Only young people who are both talented and hardworking are the most suitable successors.

Grandma Land is a smart person, judging the situation, of course, she understands which is more important, personal grievances or family glory.

"Good, you're smart. She nodded in appreciation, then shook her head again, "You know what? Any thaumaturgical sect likes smart people, but smart people also have a fatal weakness, that is, they generally don't work very hard, and always like to take shortcuts. Thaumaturgy, martial arts, cold weapons, reading...... In the seventy-two lines, there is no precedent for a trickster to succeed, but there are too many jokes about 'being smart but being mistaken by being smart'. ”

I smiled wryly and shook my head: "Senior, I never think I'm smart. On the contrary, when many of my peers have already made a name for themselves, I still live in obscurity. Whether it's life or thaumaturgy, I only admit that I'm a stupid person. ”

At such times, we can all expose our flaws and face them honestly, so as to quickly achieve the goals of communication, cooperation, teaching, and inheritance.

"Good. She said.

After that, she slowly reached out to me.

We were about three feet apart, and she didn't move, but just reached out, of course, not to touch me, but straight in the air, with her fingers spread apart, her fingertips facing me.

"Senior?" I was puzzled, and naturally took a step forward, reaching out like her, intending to shake her.

As a matter of common sense, I took a step and shortened the distance by two feet, and our fingers could touch each other. However, when I took a step, the distance between the two of us was not shortened, and my fingertips were still about two feet apart from hers.

Subconsciously, I took another step, but the situation still hasn't changed.

I stood calmly and didn't make a fuss.

There are thaumaturgy techniques such as "shrinking the ground into inches" and "instantaneous thousands of miles", the former corresponding to the technique of "over-distance attack", and the latter corresponding to the technique of "looking at the wind and fleeing".

I've only seen these thaumaturgy in the books, but I haven't actually seen them.
