Chapter 238: Bijun
Along the Yuzhou road to the east, across the border of Yujun, is Bijun.
Among the seven counties in Yuzhou, Yu County is the farthest and most remote from the state capital, and Sha County has the worst environment, but in terms of the complexity of the terrain and the most isolated from the world, there is no doubt that Bi County is the county, and it is undisputed.
Surrounded by mountains, thousands of walls!
The entire area of Bi County on the map is the smallest among the seven counties, but in terms of the actual map area, it is far more than any other county, because Bi County has almost no plains, all of them are undulating mountains and rivers, high slopes and valleys, mountain caves and rock formations, and the total population is small, which is comparable to that of Sha County.
"That's Bijun ......"
Chen Mu was wearing a very simple cloth robe, and the whole person stood on top of a mountain peak, looking into the distance.
The location he is in is the junction of Yujun and Bijun, this mountain peak is very towering when you look at Yujun in the back, but if you look at Bijun in front, it is just a corner of a thousand mountains.
But seeing the land of Bijun in the distance, the whole terrain seems to be a thousand feet higher than that of Yuzhou, and countless peaks are looming, towering into the clouds, and these peaks are not like the kind of ordinary mountains that are low, wide and narrow, but like a stone wall that stands tall, straight up and down, steep to the point of being daunting.
Chen Mu walked quietly.
Step into the confines of Bijun and head your way.
There are almost no official roads in Bi County, and there are only a few unobstructed roads from its county capital, and the other directions are surrounded by complex mountains and rivers.
But these don't affect Chen Mu too much, although it is difficult for him to fly away now, but as the top existence in the Five Visceral Realm, no matter how steep the mountains are, there is no need to detour.
"Dangerous, really dangerous."
Chen Mu stepped between the mountains, coming and going on the rocks from time to time, and at the same time feeling this piece of heaven and earth, and his heart rose for a while.
With such steep and complex mountains, even if it is a martial artist in the realm of grinding skin and flesh, if he is not careful, he may get lost in them, or even fall off the cliff with one foot, unable to move forward in them as freely as he did.
That's why.
In addition to many special features, such as some large mineral veins and the location of the county government of Bijun, which is governed by the Seven Xuanzong all the year round, many other places are not an exaggeration to say that they are isolated from the world.
But at this moment, Chen Mu, walking between the steep mountain walls, has a constant feeling in his heart, if Shajun is where the Xunfeng is strong, then Bijun is the place where the 'Gen Mountain' stands.
Over here.
Among the eight phases of Qiankun, the most powerful force of heaven and earth comes from Gen Mountain, the mountains at the foot of the mountains, and the steep peaks and walls in all directions, all brewing a majestic power of Gen Mountain.
"I'm here right, even if I don't have any clouds, just in this Bijun, with enough measurements, to step through a thousand mountains, I can accumulate a lot of insights, so that the artistic conception of Qiankun can be further improved."
Chen Mu was standing on the top of a steep mountain at this time, which was originally the highest mountain he had just seen, but after climbing up, he could immediately see that in the distance in the clouds, there was a higher mountain.
There are mountains beyond the mountains.
A mountain and a mountain high.
Although we can understand the meaning of these depictions that we have seen in the classics, they are far less shocking than the sights that come to such a place and see them with our own eyes.
"Haha!"
Chen Mu looked at the mountains, and at the same time he continued to have some understanding, a trace of heroism suddenly rose in his heart, he stood on the top of the mountain, and suddenly stepped forward, just stepped directly into the air, stepping into the clouds and mist.
In an instant, the whole person fell down from the mountain peak, and he was about to fall straight into the cloud valley.
But at this moment.
The artistic conception of Xunfeng and water quietly rises, and in an instant the clouds and mist are cold, and the water gathers, spreading its patches of ice from the foot forward with the edge of the steep peak.
He stepped on the ice like this, went up between the clouds and mist, and stepped over a hundred zhang in a row, and suddenly the clouds and mist were empty, and the whole person fell into the air, and there was no support under his feet, and he fell between the mountains and rivers.
But then.
Seeing Chen Mu's calm expression, his hands were closed in front of him, and the artistic conception of Xunfeng and thunder converged, turning into the wood spirit of the five elements, which suddenly caused a vine in the mountains dozens of zhang away to dance wildly, and stretched out rattans to him.
He stepped on the vines, step by step, and climbed the mountain again, and the vines on the soles of his feet gathered more and more, growing wildly, converging into a dragon, supporting him across the peak, and then twisting and shrinking, and with a sharp flick, his whole person was ejected like a cannonball, and he flew to another mountain in the distance.
Wherever the whole man passed, there was not a single path, but there were paths everywhere, the clouds and mist turned into ice under his feet, and the withered pine vines winded around him.
If this scene is seen by some isolated mountain people, there may be more legends of immortals in the mountains.
The eight phases of Qiankun are used in all things.
From the moment he practiced the artistic conception of Qiankun, he already had the ability to dominate all things for his own use, but earlier he was still a little rusty about the comprehension and mastery of the artistic conception of Qiankun, and now he is on the basis of the second step of the artistic conception of Qiankun, and has gone a lot deeper, compared to when he first comprehended the artistic conception of Qiankun, maybe the strength has not increased much, but he has been able to use the eight phases of Qiankun to show the point of using all things.
"Sure enough, cultivating the artistic conception of Qiankun is the most correct road for me."
Chen Mu crisscrossed the steep mountain walls.
This feeling of coming and going wantonly between the clouds and mist, as if everything in the world was walking according to his heart, was too comfortable, and he had never experienced it before, so that it was vaguely combined with the deepest goal in his heart and his most fundamental martial will.
What he wants is that everything in the world is from his mind, and what he cultivates is the artistic conception of Qiankun that governs all things, which may be a coincidence, but it may not be a coincidence, because the most widely inherited martial arts in the world is also the eight phases of Qiankun.
There is no very clear division of the realm of martial will.
However, countless martial arts powerhouses still roughly divided the will of martial arts into several statements.
They are,
Clear-minded, unswerving, I ask three questions.
Among them, the clear heart is to distinguish his true heart, and the seeing nature is to recognize the true nature of his own body, these two steps have been crossed by Chen Mu, and now he is walking on the road of unswerving.
No matter who sees, what you see, what you do, there will be no more deviation in your heart, no longer doubt yourself, no more confusion is a higher level, there will be no more wavering of will, no more confusion, and follow your own path.
In the end, I asked three questions, I had a clear conscience, I had no regrets, and I asked no answer.
The vast majority of martial artists in the world have never broken through the entrance and stepped into the realm of the Purifying Sect Master, but it is difficult for them to reach the level of conscience, and most of them will wander between 'not moving and not being confused'.
Like many martial artists, if they lose once, they will deviate once, and if they lose once, they will doubt their own path, and then their will will fall back to 'clear insight', and they need to refocus again and again, and regain their own ways again and again.
And those who can go all the way undefeated, very few, that is basically the best of the generation, they will be able to win one victory after another, sharpen themselves with others, and establish their own will, and quickly step through these two levels.
It's also easy to understand.
Imagine that you encounter walls everywhere and fail everywhere, how to firmly believe that your martial arts are correct, and if you are undefeated all the way and regard everyone else as your own conscience stone, then you will naturally be more determined in every step.
Therefore, all those in the world who can cultivate to become a Sect Master of Cleansing the Pulp are very human, and it is extremely difficult to be undefeated all the way, and it is equally difficult to regain one's heart from many failures and then condense martial intent!
Chen Mu has already stepped through the threshold of Mingxin a long time ago.
After he cultivated the artistic conception of Qiankun, he passed the level of insight, and now he has also stepped into the most bumpy road for martial artists.
And since he practiced martial arts, sharpening his body, hard work, is still undefeated, and now more and more aware of the artistic conception of Qiankun that the law uses all things, from the heart to do what he wants, and his own will is in harmony, and gradually move forward on the road of unswerving confusion.
That's it.
He walked between the mountain walls, and I don't know how long it had been, until at last he felt a little tired and slowed down a little.
He slowly climbed to the top of another rock peak, and the map of Bijun appeared in his mind, and he carefully compared and judged the direction he was in, how far away from the 'Yunni Heavenly Steps' was.
As far as he knew, it would take about half a month to a month before the sea of clouds was turbulent, but all the sects from the eleven states of Hanbei Province, the true legends, were already gathering in Bi County.
But.
The terrain of Bijun is too complicated, not to mention the true legends of other sects along the way, and even those mountain people living in Bijun have not seen a few, and there seem to be only a few basic canyons on the road he has passed, and some people can be faintly seen.
Chen Mu was also a little unable to distinguish his position for a while, and at this time he landed on the mountain rock and stopped, his eyes continued to look forward, and after passing over the peaks of one mountain peak, his eyes suddenly moved slightly, and he returned to one of the mountain walls.
Someone.
"Did you finally meet someone?"
A little glimmer flashed in Chen Mu's eyes, although he had also seen some canyons from afar on the road, faintly looking like traces of human population, but he didn't go over to look, and he was the first person he met here.
It is said that Yu County is remote, but in his opinion, I am afraid that Bi County is the real remote place.
"There are people in the mountains, and harmony between people and mountains is also the right way of heaven and earth."
Chen Mu muttered softly.
The area he came to along the way in Bijun has almost no plains suitable for planting, and it is naturally difficult for people to survive here, but just like there are many Li Shu living in Shajun, even if the mountains and rivers are dangerous, they can't hinder people.
He quietly descended the mountain and approached the peak where there were people, and at this time he could already tell that the people on the peak were not disciples of any sect from outside, but mountain people living in Bijun, because they could not see that there were martial arts in their climbing.
And when Chen Mu came to the bottom of the cliff and looked up, he was slightly stunned.
See you.
The figure clinging to the rock wall, carrying a bamboo basket on its back, was struggling forward, although it was wearing a coarse linen robe, but at this distance it could already be seen that it was a young girl, at most fourteen or fifteen years old.
It walked along the steep mountain wall, obviously the slightest stumble will fall off the cliff, but it is very calm, after climbing to a rock wall dangerously, he took out a medicine shovel from the bamboo basket behind him, and carefully dug up a herb in the crack of the cliff, the action is very dexterous and skillful, obviously it is not the first time to collect medicine.
"Hoo ......"
The herb-picking girl carefully dug out the herb and put it into the bamboo basket on her back, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to return the same way, when her eyes suddenly moved and she happened to see Chen Mu's figure under the cliff.
However, unlike Chen Mu, her vision was far less acute than Chen Mu's, because she couldn't distinguish Chen Mu's appearance from a long distance, and could only barely see that it was a blurry figure.
Is it the third uncle?
The medicine picking girl was surprised, and then called: "Third uncle?!" How did you get here! ”
A sweet voice echoed through the valley.
However.
The figure below the cliff did not move, nor did it respond.
When the medicine girl was a little strange, she suddenly felt a little coolness on the back of her neck, and subconsciously turned her head to look up, but saw that from a rock above, I don't know when a leopard demon with a blood-colored head and black markings appeared, as if she was alarmed by her cry just now, and opened her mouth with a bloody basin, and there was a trace of saliva dripping from her mouth.
“!!”
The little face of the medicine girl turned pale, and she was frightened, and she subconsciously wanted to flee, but then she heard a roar, which shocked her soul and made her body stiffen and step on the air.
The whole person fell from the towering rock wall in an instant.
Finished.
Jin Ling'er only felt that her ears were swishing, the mountain scenery changed, and her heart suddenly became sad, but when she thought of falling to her death, it was better than being eaten by a mountain leopard, and she felt better for a while.
But then I thought that even if I fell to my death under the cliff, I would definitely be eaten by the mountain leopard.
That's right.
It seems that I saw the third uncle down there just now, and I hope that the mountain leopard will follow her and only eat her, so that the third uncle will be safe.
When the thought flashed like this, his eyes saw that he was getting closer and closer to the bottom of the cliff, and he couldn't help but subconsciously close his eyes, but in the next moment, he suddenly felt that the whole person seemed to have fallen into a ball of cotton, and the falling momentum was quickly stopped.
Is this what it feels like to fall to death?
Jin Ling'er was confused for a while, and after noticing that there seemed to be no pain all over her body, she cautiously opened one eye, and then saw a simple gray robe, and above it was a young and unfamiliar face.
The whole person was slightly stunned, and his thoughts fell into confusion all of a sudden, and he couldn't see it from a distance before, but at this time, he could see in detail that the gray clothes on Chen Mu's body were very different from what her third uncle wore on weekdays, not to mention that the appearance was very different, and what made her even more confused was that she fell from such a high place, and this person could actually catch her?
But.
Jin Ling'er's confusion did not last long, and the next moment he heard a leopard's roar, but he saw a mountain leopard swooping down from the cliff wall, running as fast as a dragon, and before he arrived, a fierce momentum had fallen.
She once again showed frightened eyes, looking at the mountain leopard that pounced from above Chen Mu and pounced on the back of Chen Mu's neck.
However.
Chen Mu didn't seem to be aware of it, he didn't care about the mountain leopard that pounced, he just put her down, and then he pointed out at random and pointed upward, and an invisible Yuan Gang burst out, flying out of the air, silently penetrating the head of the mountain leopard.
The figure of the mountain leopard twisted in the air, deviated from its direction, and fell to the side with a thud.
And it was only at this time that Chen Mu looked at Jin Ling'er next to him, and said in a calm tone:
"Did you recognize the wrong person?"
Jin Ling'er still had some frightened eyes at this time, looking at the mountain leopard that fell not far away, but when she saw that her body was twisted, and blood gradually flowed out from under her body, as if she was dead, she finally breathed a sigh.
When she regained her composure and looked at Chen Mu, she finally reacted, scratched her head a little embarrassedly, and said, "Yes, I admit my mistake, my name is Jin Ling'er, did you save me just now?" ”
"Hmm."
Chen Mu nodded and said, "I'm from outside, and I'm about to ask you what kind of place this is." ”
Although the route should be correct, the terrain of Bijun is too complicated, and after going deep into the mountain wall, even if he memorizes a map in his mind, it is difficult to tell where he is at once.
"This is Amber Mountain."
Jin Ling'er opened her voice clearly, then looked at Chen Mu, and suddenly her little face flushed with shame, and said, "Ling, you saved me...... My mother said that if I encountered any danger in the mountains and someone saved me, I would have to marry him to repay my kindness, but I am only fourteen years old this year, and it will be another year before I can marry you. ”
Chen Mu looked at the girl's simple appearance, couldn't help but smile, and said, "That's not necessary, I saved you, and you also told me what kind of place this is, which is considered to be flat." ”
"This ......"
Jin Ling'er was stunned, although she didn't understand very well, but can she even deal with the matter of asking for directions and saving lives?
Chen Mu was already looking at the nearby mountains at this time, and quickly found his current position in Bijun according to the place name of 'Amber Mountain' in his heart, which was located in the southwest of the Yunni Heavenly Steps, and the direction did not deviate.
"Where is your home?"
Chen Mu retracted his gaze and looked at Jin Ling'er.
Jin Ling'er recovered a little at this time, pointed to the northeast, and said, "On the other side of the mountain." ”
"That's just a drop by, can you take me to see it?"
Chen Mu smiled.
He didn't ask Jin Ling'er why he ran so far to collect medicine at such a young age, maybe this is the way of survival of mountain people, and he has mastered the eight phases of Qiankun, and he also has his way of relying on the mountain.
