Chapter 506: Condensation is not a platform
The long night is over, and the day is coming.
It is as if a person who has fallen into a long sleep opens his eyes and is misty, and the sky that does not open for days is also empty and colorless.
No color, black and white.
Stratus clouds are like turbid waves in the sky, gray and white.
Behind the distant mountains is a dull white.
Connected with the boundless sky into endless white, waiting for the day to become a wonderful hand to add light and color to this picture scroll of the sky.
This is the case with the sky over Condensation Ridge today.
As for the condensation ridge itself, the vegetation is dense and lush, and it lives up to the scenery of the alternation of spring and summer.
The ten-mile-long bluestone slab road ushered in two carriages and more than ten horses.
It was Jiang Yichen and his party who escorted the Niu family's father and daughter to take a detour to Lingnan.
Three days ago, when the moon was seen on a rainy night, and the Xiaoshan Bridge was broken when the embankment of Fengshan Mountain collapsed, everyone decided to divert the route to Ningluling and get on the road as soon as possible within two days.
On the eve of the previous year, the rain finally stopped, and the bright moon hung high.
Everyone waited for an extra hour, and after the water on the mountain road was slightly drained, they took advantage of the night to walk.
Although it was a recent decision, we had already made a lot of preparations during the heavy rain to get back on the road.
For example, the innkeeper went to a nearby village to hire three craftsmen to put iron chains on the wheels of the two carriages to prevent them from slipping, and each carriage had two extra wheels in case of emergency, and each horse was replaced with a new horseshoe.
He also bought a number of horses from the village.
Xiaohua and Niu Kelian and Ning Qi, who were injured, shared a car, with a round of drivers.
The other carriage, which was supposed to take turns to rest, was driven by two people, and was no longer occupied, but loaded with luggage, light dry food, fodder, and torches for night walking.
The rest of the men each rode a horse.
Under many guarantees, and the bright moon shone brightly, the group traveled all the way last night.
The time has not yet come, and the condensation terrace is close at hand.
The condensation terrace is far from the peak of the condensation ridge, but it is the highest point of this bluestone slab road.
It is to cross the condensing terrace, which is equivalent to crossing the mountain and mountains, and then it is the journey down the mountain.
Therefore, everyone did not see fatigue on their faces, and they all wanted to take advantage of this to go along with the east wind, march all the way, and walk out of the Jiangjiang realm before nightfall, and then rest.
It's a pity that this condensation terrace is a place with excellent scenery, and it has the reputation of poetry and painting, many people are new to here, but they can only glimpse it in a hurry.
Jiang Yichen is one of those many people.
In fact, there were only three of them who had ever been to the Condensing Terrace.
One of them is Niu Kelian, before guarding the south gate of Zhongzhou Town, General Niu accompanied other officials to come twice on the pretext of patrolling.
Ruan Gu and Zifeng visited the world with Master Long Yao when they were young.
The people's initial understanding of the Ning Terrace came from the three of them recalling the owner of the Evening Wind Inn and others.
Condensation, as the name suggests, condenses into dew, condensation ridge mountain is high and humid, there is more condensation on the grass and trees during the day, there is more condensation on the grass and trees during the day, the water source is abundant all year round, self-sufficient, and not disturbed by the external climate.
On the top of the condensation ridge, the clear spring gushes out, converges into a falling waterfall, and flows into a long river.
The long river stretches for three miles, and encounters a broken step again, forming a short waterfall.
Half a zhang high place across a stone arch bridge, 20 zhang long, 3 zhang wide, built by granite gneiss, the stone railings on both sides are carved with all kinds of birds and beasts, lifelike, want to fly if moving.
Before the broken step, the long river was as calm as a mirror.
After the broken stairs, the short waterfall clangs.
A bridge separates the scene of movement and stillness, shares the beauty of movement and stillness, and the green pines and cypresses that stand on both sides of the strait are like being in the mirror platform, calm and calm without causing dust, so it is named "Ning Terrace".
"Benefited" from the pair of "blind eyes", Jiang Yichen was still quite taken care of on the road this time, and most of the time he sat in the second carriage as the second coachman.
Obviously, this second coachman was a real "idle job", and the reins of the carriage hardly fell into his hands.
Especially when he was in a hurry at night, no matter how good Jiang Yichen's hearing was, no one would be relieved that he would catch the car.
In this way, Jiang Yichen is the most idle person except Niu Kelian, Ning Mad, and Xiaohua.
Listening to Mu Yan, who was catching the car on the side, said that when he was about to arrive at the Ning Terrace, he couldn't bear to appreciate the scenery, and opened the soap veil, intending to have a glimpse of the so-called poetry and painting.
Jiang Yichen was naturally not wrapped in a cloth towel in front of him, Tuo Chu Shangu's "Fu", the Qinglian colloidal body had been used up a few days ago, and he was still wearing a hat at the moment, firstly, he was used to it, and secondly, he wanted to keep his eyes that had not yet healed in a comfortable environment, so that he would not be affected by frequent eye use.
He wouldn't admit to wearing this hat, and to add a bit of coldness and mystery.
As soon as he lifted the soap veil, Jiang Yichen felt the vitality of the clear water and green mountains, which was refreshing.
Before you even squint and look closely, you already feel that you are in a place outside the square.
Faintly hear the sound of falling waterfall on the right, look at it, three miles away, the long waterfall is like nine days of falling water hanging in the mountains of ten thousand people.
The heavenly dome and the Milky Way drooped into the mortal dust, rushing forward to sweep away the filth of the world.
Stretching for three miles into a mirror, reflecting the beautiful scenery of the mountains, this world painting scroll to take a picture of Qiongyu, a gift to the mortal world.
In the mirror, the blue sky and the white sun are the scenery, the long waterfall at the far end is the scene, the green mountains and green trees on both sides are the scenery, the condensing terrace is the scene, the short waterfall near is the scene, and the chariots and horses they are in the painting are also the scene.
Stomp ......
As the horse's hooves stepped on the stone arch bridge, which was also the Ning Terrace, Jiang Yichen's eyes jumped over the railing on the side of the bridge and saw the scene in the long river.
Although what he saw was still quite hazy, at this moment, Jiang Yichen was still stunned.
He thought that the entry of these filthy people into the scene would inevitably spoil the dusty scene in the mirror, but he could clearly feel that their existence was not discordant with the mirror of the long river, as if they were the same thing, no difference.
In a thought, Jiang Yichen had already realized.
If we say that the method of entering the lower realm of "Sitting and Forgetting the Heart without Phase" can be summarized as: I am nature, and nature is me.
Then in this path of advancement, what he should do next is that external objects are also natural, and they are not disturbed by external objects.
Reciting the divine attainment, blessing the soul, Jiang Yichen only felt that the pseudo-dantian constructed by the frost and snow true qi had opened up for no reason, and the colorless, tasteless, and formless natural power of heaven and earth slowly merged into it, breaking the cultivation barrier of the middle realm of the "Mindless Sitting and Forgetting the Heart Method".
And the opportunity given to Jiang Yichen by this land of poetry and painting did not end like this.
The mysterious wood-based method in his body seemed to knock on a heavenly gate, and he was silently absorbing the natural power of heaven and earth and returning it to himself.
The method of sitting and forgetting one's mind naturally works, starting from the third realm and slowly climbing to the fourth, and the internal cultivation is a rising tide.
Xu is Mu Yan is also like Jiang Yichen, extremely emotional, easy to hurt the spring and autumn, so although he and Jiang Yichen are in the same car, but after the carriage and horse stepped on the Ning Terrace, he completely fell into this natural beauty, silently admiring, for fear of destroying this harmonious and quiet scene, and he was unaware of the strangeness of the people next to him.
Chu Shangu, who was riding a horse and following the car to the left, sighed a little at the masterpiece of nature, and saw that the people around him were confused and intoxicated, and felt a lack of interest.
I was about to see how Jiang Yichen reacted, but I saw that the soap yarn on the hat that had been lifted off the small half was windless and automatic, and after rolling back and forth several times, it covered it down.
But I didn't see Jiang Yichen motionless, as if he was asleep.
Chu Shan looked suspicious, looked at it again, and felt that Jiang Yichen's small arms were wrapped around his knees, his back was against the edge of the carriage, and his other hand and other foot swayed with the bumps of the carriage and horse, which was quite casual, and the possibility of falling asleep was not small.
But in the next moment, Chu Shangu found that Jiang Yichen's aura was growing imperceptibly and slowly.
Chu Shan was shocked when he climbed alone!
Is it so casual?!
Can taking a nap improve your cultivation?
What a ...... Hey, that's amazing!
How Chu Shan's lonely heart turned over the river and the sea, Jiang Yichen didn't know anything.
He only knew that he had indeed completed an epiphany in a short period of time that he could only have dreamed of.
"The Method of Forgetting the Heart without Sitting Together" has broken through the pass of the middle-level realm and has entered the fifth level!
And this short time is only from the time when the horses pulling the carriage step on the bridge to the time when the whole carriage is on the bridge.
The reason why there is such a dreamy entry is inseparable from the epiphany and enlightenment, but it is also related to Jiang Yichen's attempt to change his mentality.
Jiang Yichen, who has been tired of illness since he was a child, has always been quiet and not good at communicating with outsiders.
But in the end, he is not a stupid person, and he is not connected to the outside world.
Self-passage is the inner show in the heart, and the mind can construct endless scenes to fill the lonely and empty world in the heart.
Over time, he developed the calm and introverted character that everyone said.
Act with a long view and concerns.
Sometimes it's good to be cautious, and sometimes it's too much.
Hesitate when encountering small things, and gamble with your life when encountering major events, which seems to be open-minded, but it is actually a helpless move forced by the situation.
And "Sitting and Forgetting the Heartless Heart" was born from "Getaway", which pays attention to weightlifting and focuses on open-mindedness and casualness.
When Jiang Yichen failed to comprehend his way, it was difficult to move forward, and after successfully entering the Tao, the long-term silent recitation of that mental method also made him change his mentality subtly.
When he was in Qiliyao, he emulated the chic spirit of his master, although there were eight points left in the form, but it could not be ignored that there were still two points of intention.
On the rainy night three days ago, he and Feipiao confided in each other, and the last sip of wine made him let go of a little self-restraint.
This time, after breaking through the fourth realm, he hesitated whether to rush into the rush of merit and recklessness, and instead went to stabilize his cultivation.
He put it down again.
At least on the path of cultivation, he began to learn to let go of the shackles that bound his body, and to walk out of the avenue with the mentality of being at ease with what happens, with the mentality of not changing to all changes, and with the mentality of being at ease.
In Chu Shan's lonely stunned eyes, after Mo Yan, Qi Huangsu, Qi Huangwu, and Feipiao's eyes converged one after another, Jiang Yichen's breath gradually stabilized and returned to its original state.
Not everyone was alarmed, but these masters clearly knew what had just happened.
Especially Qi Huangsu and Qi Huangwu, who were born in Taoism, are very familiar with this kind of epiphany and Taoism.
There were surprises, surprises, and smiles on the faces of several people.
However, before he could say hello to Jiang Yichen, he saw him stand up!
shouted: "Be on guard! Enemy attack!"
