Revisiting the old place will always make people remember many memories that are sealed in the depths of their hearts, but it is a pity that time has passed, and things are not people, so Duan Chen only sighed a few words, and then continued on the road with the first day of the new year.

It's a journey with an end in sight, but no concrete plan.

When the excitement comes, Duan Chen may take the first day of junior high school to live temporarily in an isolated small village, and live a life of sunrise and sunset with the villagers every day.

Occasionally, he will take the first day of junior high to walk the rivers and lakes, act chivalrous and righteous, punish adultery and eliminate evil, and see all the ways of life in the world.

......

All kinds of experiences and experiences sometimes made Duan Chen feel something, and his understanding of life, cultivation, and even the rules of the operation of the entire heaven and earth has improved a lot.

"In the past, I only knew how to comprehend the Tao pattern and immerse myself in practice. ”

However, there are still many things worth understanding in heaven and earth, such as the joys and sorrows of mortals, love and hatred, the customs and customs of different regions, etc., which are actually part of the rules of the operation of heaven and earth, and every experience is integrated into it, which is also a kind of practice for me. ”

Duan Chen spent part of his time experiencing mundane life, and part of his time cultivating and thinking.

As the saying goes, one side of the water and soil nourishes one side of the people, different regions, customs and customs are also different, which can also be seen as the changes brought about by the rules of heaven and earth.

If you go a little deeper, it can also be extended to the nature of the teacher's law.

In the past, Duan Chen's cultivation and comprehension of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth mainly relied on the Dao Pattern Tablet in the place of inheritance, but after experiencing this wandering in the Northern Regions, he suddenly realized a truth, that is, to learn from nature.

In fact, Duan Chen had already realized this truth when he was comprehending the first weapon pattern of the Mountains and Rivers Ding before, but his feelings at that time were not as profound and thought-provoking as they are now.

Of course, the cultivation realm of that time was not as good as it is now, so it was still relatively one-sided to look at many things.

And now, after experiencing all kinds of mundane worlds, he gradually discovered that everywhere in heaven and earth, such as the changes of the four seasons, such as the vegetation and trees, and the changes of wind and clouds, actually contain some avenues of heaven and earth.

Like the Dao pattern he comprehended in the past, it was actually from his predecessors who comprehended heaven and earth.

Therefore, the best teacher on the path of cultivation is not oneself or others, but the whole world and earth.

However, this way of contemplating the Great Dao is not very practical for monks with a lower cultivation realm, and it is even a waste of time, because the cultivation level is too low, and it is impossible to see the rules of the Great Dao through heaven and earth.

"The ancients often said that there are three realms in life, the first realm is to see the mountains as mountains and the water to be water, the second is to see the mountains as mountains and the water is not water, and the third realm is to see the mountains as mountains and water as water, in fact, the same is true for the perception of heaven and earth. ”

"When the cultivation realm is low, look at the heaven and the earth, the heaven and the earth are the heaven and the earth, and as the cultivation realm continues to improve, and then come to look at the heaven and the earth, the heaven and the earth at that time are not just the heaven and the earth, and I am now at this level. ”

At this moment, Duan Chen had a trace of realization in his heart: "And in the end, heaven and earth are still heaven and earth, which is the so-called return to the basics, and the avenue is one." ”

The more he experienced, the deeper his understanding of these feelings became in Duan Chen's heart.

That feeling is as if everyone understands the truth, and even the mouth can say it, but only when you really experience it will you find that knowing and understanding are not the same, the former is superficial, and the latter is more unforgettable.

For example, teaching the law of nature, such as the triple realm of life, Duan Chen knew these truths before, but he only knew them.

He didn't know much about how to connect them with his cultivation and with his perception of heaven and earth, and how to use them.

It wasn't until he traveled to the Northern Regions during this period of time and experienced all kinds of things that he gradually saw the road he was going to take in the future.

But having said that, although Duan Chen has gained a lot from this trip to the Northern Regions, and his realm insights and breakthroughs have advanced by leaps and bounds, in fact, it is the first year of junior high school that has really benefited the most.

In the first year of junior high school, although the spiritual intelligence was very high, it seemed very wooden in all aspects, or unreasonable, and could not understand many things.

For example, he can't understand the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of mortals, nor can he understand why mortals marry wives and have children, and he can't even understand the reason for the existence of mortals.

In his opinion, mortals have only lived for more than 100 years or even more than 100 years, and such a weak and ant-like existence should not exist in heaven and earth at all.

But with Duan Chen along the way, all kinds of experiences also made the first year of junior high grow up rapidly, and also made him become more and more like a person, and began to learn to think, learn to understand, and learn to empathize.

And the most direct benefit of such a change was that Duan Chen was more relaxed when he instructed Chu Yi on how to comprehend the realm of refining qi and transforming gods.

Because Duan Chen pointed to the first year of junior high school in the past, no matter how he used analogies and examples, the first year of junior high school couldn't understand it, because many things had never been experienced in the first year of junior high school in the past, and he couldn't empathize with it, and naturally he couldn't understand it.

It's a different story today.

At least on the same question, Duan Chen pointed out the first year of junior high again, and the first year of junior high school was already able to understand, and even comprehend it, drawing inferences from one another.

......

In the northern region, within the sphere of influence of Tianhang Temple, there is a remote town "Qinghui Town".

At this moment, the entire town of Qinghui was shrouded in flames and was in the midst of a catastrophe.

"Haha, you ants should feel honored, being able to become the soul of my Yinshan Ancestor refining the Ten Thousand Soul Banner is a blessing that you can't cultivate in eight lifetimes, so obediently accept your fate. ”

At this moment, in the void above Qinghui Town, an old man in black holding a white bone banner was looking down with a hideous face.

The entire Qinghui Town is now shrouded in his Yinshan Ancestor's formation, and there are dozens of Yinshan Ancestor's subordinates in the formation, constantly harvesting the lives of everyone in the town.

"Yinshan Ancestor!"

"I didn't expect the Yinshan Ancestor to appear with us, it seems that all of us are in a catastrophe today. ”

"Abominable Yinshan Ancestor, fight with him!"

In Qinghui Town, the permanent population is 1,200 people, but because tonight is the centennial celebration of the founding of Qinghui Town, the villagers of all the nearby villages have also rushed over, making the original small town gather more than 3,000 people at the moment.

As soon as there are more such people, there will naturally be more cultivators.

However, among the many cultivators who were trapped in Qinghui Town at the moment, the strongest was Jin Dan, and he was not the opponent of the Yin Mountain Ancestor in the Yuan Infant Stage at all.

Of course, Duan Chen and Chu Yi, who were hidden cultivators mixed in the crowd, were exceptions.

"It's interesting, I didn't expect to encounter a Demon Dao Monk Blood Sacrifice Soul Refining Treasure at an ordinary celebration. Duan Chen's Immortal Dao deity looked up at the sky, and at a glance, he saw the Yin Mountain Ancestor outside the formation.

During the few years of traveling in the Northern Regions, Duan Chen also deliberately collected some information, including about this Yin Mountain Ancestor.

Although the vast Northern Regions are ruled by the three giants of the Nine Mountains and Seas, the Heavenly Hanging Temple and the Beiyuan Immortal Palace, even these three giants cannot completely eliminate the evil forces within the Northern Regions.

Like this Yin Mountain Ancestor, he is a Yuanying monk of the Tiansha Demon Palace, and he is also a key criminal on the wanted list of the Tianhang Temple, who has committed heinous bloody crimes more than once, and the sins are so serious that it is difficult to write.

And there are many, many sinful monks like the Yinshan Ancestor in the entire Northern Regions, like the fallen Corpse Demon Ancestor, who was also one of the key wanted objects in the Outer Palace of the Beiyuan Immortal Palace back then.

Duan Chen and Chu Yi have traveled to the Northern Regions over the years, and occasionally they have encountered some monks of the two realms of evil and demons, but most of them are just some insignificant small characters, such as Yinshan Ancestor, who is wanted by the ten immortal sects, is the first time he has encountered them.

"Fight quickly, leave as soon as you harvest the lives of these people, otherwise when the group of bald donkeys in Tianhang Temple receive the news and rush over, don't blame the ancestor and I don't care about you. The voice of the Yinshan Ancestor resounded throughout Qinghui Town.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, the disciples and followers under his seat began to kill even more frantically.

There were more than 3,000 people in the entire Qinghui Town, of which more than ninety percent were ordinary mortals and martial artists, and these mortal martial artists were powerless to resist in the face of the demon path cultivators whose cultivation was the weakest one, and only dozens of cultivators were fighting.

"Anyway, it's all dead horizontally and vertically, fight with them, and count a few who can pull a few cushions!"

"Kill!"

"Don't mess around, the meditation of Tianhang Temple monitors the world, maybe you can arrive at any time. ”

"It's too late, you run away, I'll drag them down. ”

At this moment, there were only about thirty cultivators in Qinghui Town, some of them chose to fight frantically, some chose to hide and delay time, and some flew directly towards the outside of Qinghui Town......

However, when the first Tsukiji monk who fled to the edge of Qinghui Town was wiped out by the formation that enveloped the entire Qinghui Town, all the mortals and monks in Qinghui Town were in despair.

"Since there is no way out, let's kill. ”

"Fight!" The cultivators who were in a desperate situation, except for a few who hid with a fluke mentality, the rest of them were all crazy.

However, among these dozens of cultivators, there were only two Jindan monks, and there were as many as ten Jindan monks under the command of Yinshan Old Ancestor alone, not to mention that he himself was also a mid-Yuan Infant monk.

"If there were no outsiders intervening, the lives of more than 3,000 people in Qinghui Town would be over. Duan Chen watched all this silently, and with a thought in his heart, the Tiandu Spear Domain immediately descended, enveloping the entire town.

In an instant, Qinghui Town, which was still shouting and killing, suddenly fell into a dead silence.

Everyone, including the Yinshan Ancestor whose body was suspended in mid-air, was as if they had been immobilized at this moment, and they were frozen in place and motionless, only their thinking and consciousness were still functioning normally.

"Extinguish!"

His eyes caught a look of horror in the eyes of the Yin Mountain Ancestor, and Duan Chen snorted lightly.

But seeing that within the scope of the Heavenly Capital Spear Domain, all the Demon Dao cultivators, including the Yinshan Ancestor himself, all disappeared and dissipated like flying ashes, and died in Huangquan.
