Chapter 306: The Black and White World
In this way, Shen Yun adjusted his routine and rested, and spent most of his day through the small space, entering the ice and snow secret realm, and continuing to cultivate. After the second half of the night, I will go out to survey the terrain and look for a way out.
And so it went on for ten days. The hard work paid off, and on the night of the eleventh day, Shen Yun finally climbed to the top of the giant bone.
Suddenly, the field of vision became wider than ever.
The front and back of the giant bone are like two worlds: the front is white and foggy, and the back is dark.
The two worlds are very different from black and white. But there is one thing, they are exactly the same for Shen Yun. That is, he stood on top of the giant bones, and with a pair of naked eyes, he could not see them clearly.
The positive world is tightly covered by white fog, and the eye cannot penetrate;
The world on the other side seems to be completely swallowed up by darkness. His eyes couldn't cut through the darkness.
The giant bones are like a barrier where the black and white worlds meet.
At this time, it was almost dawn. As soon as the day dawns, in the front world, a white mist rises underground. At the same time, the ability of Giant Bone and Blue Frost to dispel white mist will be greatly reduced. Therefore, the white mist will swallow the front of the giant bone within half an hour.
Before tonight, Shen Yun had never reached the top of the giant bone. Yes, it was the first time he had seen the world on the back side. He didn't know if the mist would spill over the bones and invade the backside, or if something would appear on the back side after dawn.
In other words, whether to stay on the front, or to rush down the giant bone and go to the back, there is not much time left for him to choose.
If it was the past, he would definitely choose the latter without hesitation.
However, when he was in this helpless situation, he learned from the pain, and felt that the main reason was that he had not really followed the teachings of his master during his lifetime, but he was cautious and conceited.
He had to get rid of it.
Work more steadily.
Besides, since you can climb up once, you must be able to climb up a second and third time......
Thinking of this, Shen Yun stopped the urge to rush down immediately, and with Qingshuang on his hand, he tried to go down to the back side in small steps—although it was on the top of the giant bone, the coercion it caused to Shen Yun was as powerful as it was under the front. He had been cultivating here for ten days, and among them, there was also the blessing of eight times the time flow in the Ice and Snow Secret Realm. In total, he was a penance for more than two months. Cultivation has also grown slightly. But the coercion oppressed him the same as when he first arrived. He didn't feel any lighter than before. Leaving Qingshuang, he stood on the outside of the giant bone, and he would feel that his knees were getting heavier and heavier. If you don't hold on to 100 breaths, you will be exhausted and tired to the point of lying down. And with Qingshuang, he can insist on walking a hundred steps at a time. After ten years of practicing on the giant bone, the only thing that changed was the rest time in the middle. Initially, every hundred steps he walked, he had to sit down and rest for more than a quarter of an hour before he could get up and continue walking. Now, after walking a hundred steps, he only needs to sit for fifteen breaths before regaining his strength.
Through on-the-spot testing, Shen Yun got the first experience of the back of the giant bone, that is, at least these fifty steps close to the top, gave him the same feeling as the front.
He could walk a hundred steps at a time, but why did he stop walking only halfway through?
It's because he's going to go back to the top. The sky was about to dawn, and he didn't dare to put himself in unknown danger in such a completely oppressive environment.
Sure enough, he had just the right amount of time. When I got back to the top, I sat down and panted for breath, and it was dawn.
When the first rays of sunlight come out, the white world turns into a pot of boiling water. Those white mist began to surge.
And in the world on the back, it's still pitch black.
The sun's rays can't penetrate the darkness below.
Sitting at the top, he sees nothing, hears nothing.
That's it for today. Shen Yun sighed, reported his name, and immediately entered a small space.
As on the previous ten nights, he carefully inspected the small space and found that it was a brand new one.
Finding the point the size of a wine cup that allowed him to leave, he was relieved to enter the secret realm of ice and snow.
Everything is to untie the green frost tied to the palm of the right palm and start cooking on the fire.
There is an eightfold flow of time in the Ice and Snow Realm. This means that meals are consumed eight times faster. Therefore, the meals cooked by the Chen Zhaocai brothers were eaten up a few days ago.
Fortunately, he has a habit of stocking up on water and ingredients in his treasure bag. Plus, it's also his luck. He had just received the offering of Yanwutang this month, and according to his previous habits, he went to Ping'an Fang to buy enough spiritual rice for him and Cheng Dongqing and others to eat for a month.
After realizing that his situation was terrible, Shen Yun first strictly controlled the use of clean water and reduced his daily water consumption to a minimum. In other words, except for cooking and drinking, all other water is subtracted. Cleaning or something, use dust removal.
At the beginning, he was quite unaccustomed to it, and he always felt that using the dust removal technique to clean his face and clean his clothes was the same as not washing, that is, he looked bright, but in fact he still smelled of sweat. Over the years, he gradually got used to it.
Second, he began to control the amount of food he ate. First, the amount of food per meal was halved. After two days, he got used to it, and then minus the Chinese food, from the original three meals a day, to two meals a day, and after another two days, he felt that he had adapted to it, and he began to lengthen the interval between the two meals...... Today, he can eat one meal a day, and he eats a quarter of what he used to eat.
With a two-pronged approach, the consumption rate of water and ingredients is greatly reduced.
So far, there is still a jar full of water in the treasure bag. There are more than 500 catties of spiritual rice, and there are more than 10 catties of dried meat and vegetables. Oil, salt and other seasonings can be maintained for a hundred days, and there is no big problem.
I have food in my hand, and I don't panic in my heart. With their support, Shen Yun had the confidence not to advance.
Thinking of the huge darkness under the back of the giant bone, which seemed to be able to swallow everything, someone who was measuring rice, shook his hand, reduced the amount by two percent, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said in his heart: If it goes on like this, I may easily learn to Bigu.
After eating, he performed a dust-removing technique, cleaned the pots and bowls and other utensils, and began to walk.
In the same big circle, five miles down, it took half an hour less than before going out this time.
In this way, when it is the second half of the night outside, if he goes out again, the rest time between every hundred steps can be shortened by three breaths, to say the least.
This also means that this time, he climbed to the very top of the giant bone, and this alone can shorten it by half an hour.
I have to admit that the refining effect on the outside of the giant bone is not ordinarily good.
Shen Yun exhaled a breath of turbid air with satisfaction, and then took a small branch in his hand and drew a road map in the snow.
Optimizing your route is another powerful time-saving way to reduce usage.
