Chapter 320: Five Domains Prison (2) (Happy Lantern Festival)
Originally, there was no obvious seasonal change in Qiyun Peak, whether it was spring and summer, or autumn and winter, the climate remained in the state of spring and summer.
It is full of vitality and beautiful scenery at all times.
After Meng Zhou moved in, when he set up a mountain protection array covering the entire Qiyun Peak, he deliberately made the four seasons clear again.
Spring, summer, autumn, winter.
The four seasons of the year are distinct and have their own distinctive characteristics.
Perhaps, in the eyes of other monks, Qi Yunfeng's original state was the best.
The four seasons are like spring, full of vitality.
Whether it is the growth of spiritual plants, the growth of spiritual beasts, or the cultivation of monks, it has a subtle help.
But such benefits, in Meng Zhou's eyes, are unnatural, and can even be said to be deformed.
Immodestly speaking, if you want to talk about the practice and comprehension of vitality, within the Five Domains, Meng Zhou can no longer see his companions.
Not to mention the companions, there are few people who are slightly behind one or two positions.
The more he came to the understanding, the more Meng Zhou understood that the Dao Zhi Zhi is not the same as obscure and profound, and it may also be hidden in the "common sense" that people are accustomed to but turn a blind eye to.
For example, "spring grows and summer grows, autumn harvest and winter storage".
Another example is "the beginning of oneness, the renewal of all things".
All year round, over and over again.
The cycle of birth and death, the integration of life and death.
There is life before there is death, and there is life when there is destruction.
At that time, Qiyun Peak was like spring all year round, and it was always in a state of vitality.
But in Meng Zhou's eyes, this has always been in a situation where he can't go up or down, and he hasn't been able to participate in the great cycle of heaven and earth.
- There is no need to exaggerate too much about how great this equal power covering all living beings in the world is, just look at how much the three-pole cycle of essence and spirit created by Meng Zhou has helped him, and how far apart he is from other monks of the same level.
With this concept in mind, Qi Yunfeng, which had been rearranged by Meng Zhou, was suppressed due to the characteristics of the four seasons like spring brought by the spiritual veins, and there were extremely distinct changes in the four seasons again.
Winter turns to spring, ice and snow melt, everything sprouts again, and heaven and earth begin a new cycle.
On the tenth day of the first month, late at night.
Seventy-four-year-old Meng Zhou ended the first retreat of the new year.
Since the introduction of the "Hanhai Bright Moon True Diagram", which filled the last gap in the three-pole cycle, and the retreat practice changed from once a month to once a season, Meng Zhou found that his understanding of the changes in time had also changed slowly.
Because he doesn't always have to worry about the monthly retreat, it's easier for him to immerse his mind in his world for a long time.
For him, this rhythm is more to his liking.
But on the other hand, it seems that time has become shorter because of this.
It is very likely that a heart-warming thought, immersed in a certain thought, and suddenly waking up, is a month or two.
In his own feelings, it was only a "moment".
Meng Zhou couldn't help but think that now he had vaguely felt like this.
In the future, the cycle between a practice will become longer and the path will become more profound, and it will probably take a year or more to initiate meditation and enlightenment.
At that time, in his eyes, the world was like pressing the accelerator button, closing and opening up, that is, a year or even several years.
"One day in the sky, one year on earth, that's probably what it means."
The world is still the same world, but because of the different perspectives, the gap is so big that it is like two worlds.
In a trance, Meng Zhou shook his head with a smile and confirmed the harvest of this retreat.
Everything else is false, and that's what is real.
……
Repair to the progress of +600, the seventh layer of the knot Dan 3650/10,000;
Hanhai Mingyue True Picture Experience +10,800, Xiaocheng 24,000/40,000.
……
After absorbing all the gains made during this retreat, Meng Zhou's figure flashed and disappeared into the ashram.
A moment later, in the Gangfeng layer above the Qiyun Peak area, a spaceship quietly blended into it, soaring away towards the distant sky.
After moving away from Qinglin Peak and getting out of the power coverage of Qingxuan Sect, the lightless spaceship quietly broke out of the Gangfeng layer.
After identifying the direction, the lightless spaceship adjusted its direction slightly and sped towards the northern border of the Qingxuan Domain.
The lightless spaceship in the speed of the speed, the lightless escape that comes with it quietly activated, merging with the surrounding void.
Meng Zhou stood alone on the deck of the spaceship.
Half of his mind is in the real world, and the timely information within a radius of 600 miles is reflected in his heart through the bright moon mirror;
Half of his mind is in the spiritual realm, while injecting the timely information he has collected himself, partially updating the "Interpretation World", and at the same time, with the help of the guidance of the "Interpretation World", a large map that includes the five domains, he is speeding towards the destination of this trip.
With the continuous collection, updating, and improvement, the "Five Domains Map" in Meng Zhou's mind became more and more detailed, but everything stopped at the "Five Domains".
The lightless spaceship soon sailed out of the hinterland area, the middle ring area, and the outer ring area of the Qingxuan Domain.
All the way north.
Interspersed from the edge of Tianqi Mountain.
Still non-stop, continue north.
After leaving Tianqi Mountain completely behind, the speed of the speeding spaceship began to slow down.
The further north you go, the more blurred the map becomes.
When the distance between the lightless spaceship and Qinglin Peak exceeded 100,000 miles, and it completely sailed out of the outer ring area, and the view was completely desolate, the corresponding map in the "Interpretation World" had been blurred to the point that there was not even an outline.
An hour later, looking at the same barren land below, Meng Zhou's heart suddenly moved, the lightless spaceship was included in the Linghu space by him, and his true body appeared in the sky above this barren land.
Meng Zhou's figure fluttered down on a barren hill that seemed to rise like a wave.
As far as the eye can see, the ground below is no different except for the ups and downs of the landform.
Front, back, left and right, like a frozen desert.
Meng Zhou bent down and pulled out a piece of earth from the ground that was as hard as a rock.
With a little force, the hard soil turns into fine sand like snow salt, which flows through the fingers.
Meng Zhou felt it carefully.
After all the fine sand in his hand flowed away from between his fingers, Meng Zhou finally confirmed that the piece of hard mud he grabbed was really lifeless.
Not only the soil under his feet, but also the front and back, left and right, as far as the eye can see, the earth as far as the eye can see, is like the hard mud in his hand, there is no life at all.
Within the Qingxuan Domain, this is impossible.
Not to mention that there is no such soil in the spiritual veins, even in the evil veins, no matter how polluted and poisonous the miasma is, there will be no such situation.
What's more, the evil veins are never the opposite of vitality.
Even in areas that are larger, neither spiritual nor evil, even in mundane desert places, the vitality will only become thin, and it is impossible not to exist.
However, this discovery did not shock Meng Zhou too much.
He had expected it before he confirmed it himself.
Although, among the information he collected through various channels such as the Changle Chamber of Commerce and Mingxin Pavilion, there was very little information about this barren land, but it was not at all.
For this land, there is a special name, "the realm of death".
Just as a fish cannot leave the water for a long time, life also has an area of the water that the fish cannot leave.
In this realm of death, life dies like a fish out of water.
As for whether it is a mortal or a cultivator, whether the strength is high or low, it is only a difference in speed and slowness.
Because everything you need for life, you don't have it here.
Meng Zhou's figure flashed, appearing in the center of a slowly sinking valley in the distance.
After a while, Meng Zhou's figure flashed again, appearing in a flat area......
Eight or nine random places were randomly checked in a row, and the results were all the same.
Same.
Meng Zhou finally didn't continue, his body was like a cupola, he quickly rose from the ground, standing thousands of meters in the air, overlooking the land below, looking at the endless barren land below.
It doesn't take much insight, just what you see is very reminiscent of the undulating waters.
As soon as the thought in Meng Zhou's heart moved, most of his consciousness was poured into the Bright Moon Mirror, and all the areas with a radius of six hundred miles were included in this mirror.
The undulating earth is so pure that there is no "impurity".
Meng Zhou did not continue to stay in this area, and after identifying the direction, Meng Zhou continued to speed due north.
It stands to reason that in this "Death Domain", there is a barren land that is undulating like waves in front and back, and it is impossible to distinguish between the east, south, and west.
The sky was also gray, and there was nothing to guide it to.
However, Meng Zhou has a "deductive world", he set off from Qiyun Peak, and the flight trajectory of this journey is clearly recorded in the "deductive world".
This is an invisible, unbreakable "kite string" that will never be lost.
And according to the change in the straightness of this line, the change in the angle at each turn can make him clearly know the direction of the place he is in relative to the Qingxuan Domain.
This is also the reason why he, who has always been cautious, dares to delve into this distorted realm of death.
There are many monks who like to hunt for curiosities, or for other reasons, after entering this realm of death, they were completely trapped here because they couldn't distinguish between the east and the west.
……
Meng Zhou, who set off again, continued to travel north.
Because there was no aura in this "Death Domain", in order to make this exploration more in-depth, Meng Zhou used the method with the least consumption.
Don't use the most expensive Five Elements Escape, don't control a spaceship, don't even fly in the void, just rely on a pair of fleshy feet, and use the physical talent obtained based on "inch steps" to flash step by step, all the way north.
In "Interpreting the World", Meng Zhou's own trajectory of action starts from the central area of the Qingxuan Domain, all the way to the north, and finally exceeds the scope of the Qingxuan Domain, turning into a long line, all the way to the north.
10,000 miles, 20,000 miles, 30,000 miles......
Meng Zhou gradually frowned.
Surrounded by unchanging barren land.
This is not surprising.
But why did I go all the way north, did not look back, and pulled out a straight and long line in the "interpretation of the world", and saw the law of periodic changes from the changes in this straight line?
Because Meng Zhou, who is moving forward, has been using the Bright Moon Mirror to inject information within a radius of 600 miles into the "deductive world".
Therefore, the straight and long line he pulls out with his own trajectory has a width.
The width is 1,200 li.
Although, because the speed of travel is too fast, the time that has passed is too short, he cannot "rub" all the information in this range into the "deductive world", but in the end, he can choose to enter some core characteristics into it.
In the eyes of others, the barren land below undulating like the waves of the sea is a cookie-cutter that lacks change.
But here in Meng Zhou, every undulating wave is different.
When zoomed in to an area, it is as unique as fingerprint information.
But Meng Zhou found that when he went north into the Death Domain for 15,000 miles, everything became weird.
When he went deep into 16,000 miles, the information on the cross-section of the trajectory of 1,200 miles was actually more than 40% similar to when he had just penetrated 1,000 miles into the Death Domain.
At first glance, it doesn't seem strange.
There is a 40% similarity, and there is no 60% dissimilarity?
But when he passed through these two places, the information he captured in a short period of time was limited, and in this limited information, forty percent of it was the same!
At first, Meng Zhou didn't realize this, and it wasn't until he went deep into 30,000 miles that he suddenly realized this.
Meng Zhou paused for a moment, his gaze lingering for a moment on the straight line in the "Interpretation World", which had stretched straight north for 30,000 li in the Death Domain, before he continued to move forward.
This time, he was much slower.
Then, in the cross-section of 31,200 miles, which was 1,200 miles long, he found the undulating earth that was exactly the same as the 1,000 miles into the Death Domain, and the 16,000 miles deep into the Death Domain.
At this point, Meng Zhou has basically determined one thing.
However, in order to completely confirm the answer in his heart, Meng Zhou did not stop there, but continued to go north.
Every time he went further north, the thoughts in Meng Zhou's heart became more and more firm.
After going north for 60,000 miles, Meng Zhou finally stopped.
Looking at the long straight line in the "Interpretation World" that went all the way north to 60,000 miles in the Domain of Death, Meng Zhou laughed twice in his heart.
This 60,000-mile-long straight line was broken into four even, 15,000-mile-long sections.
Falling from top to bottom.
When 60,000 li fell to 45,000 li, the information of the cross-section of the two 1,200 li wide overlapped together, and from then on, all positions within the next 15,000 li were completely overlapped.
Keep falling down.
45,000 li overlaps with 30,000 li, and 15,000 li.
Since then, the long straight line, which was originally 60,000 li long, has shrunk to 15,000 li.
"It's for me to do a cyclical exercise here."
At this moment, Meng Zhou had no doubts in his heart.
Periodic movement, also known as "ghost hitting the wall".
It seems that he has been 60,000 miles deep into the realm of death, but in fact, he has been going around again and again within 15,000 miles.
So, here's the problem......
"This realm of death is only so big, but it is pulled into a 'Möbius ring' by some kind of force, and it is forced to create an infinite length in a limited space in a circular way.
Moving in one direction is a cyclical movement that repeats itself, one ring after another, and never ends. ”
"Or, this realm of death is far beyond fifteen thousand miles, but it is blocked by some kind of force, so that people can only circle around this range of fifteen thousand miles forever, and they will never be able to break through fifteen thousand and one miles."
Now that he knew that this was a ring, Meng Zhou naturally wouldn't waste his strength in this direction.
On this trip, his goal is not limited to this place.
Meng Zhou decided to turn back quickly.
Five elements escape, start.
Meng Zhou's figure disappeared into the void.
“Duang”!
The next moment, Meng Zhou's figure reappeared.
Fell to the ground in embarrassment, like a ping-pong ball that had been slammed back to the table by a racket.
