Chapter 136: Every step is a win
As soon as the words fell, the dragon's face turned into the body, which was a small dragon, which quickly rose from the size of the human body to a few zhang long, but there were clouds and mist around the body, making it impossible to see the specific shape and color.
Jiao's body began to spin and fly, wrapping Lin Xian and the others in it, and as the speed became faster and faster, the eight people were dazzled, and it didn't take long for them to lose consciousness.
In an unknown space, the water vapor is filled, and the upper and lower surroundings seem to be closed like a jar and do not transmit light and wind, but from time to time there are multicolored lights flashing alternately, which looks mysterious and abnormal.
Xiao Jiaolong appeared among them with these disciples, yawned and closed his eyes after he fell.
After a while, the voice of the old palace ancient book of Kaiyang Peak suddenly sounded: "Thank you for your old success this time, and I am grateful." ”
Another, older but clearer, louder voice replied, "No need to be polite, just the right time." For this reason, the old man has been waiting for a long time, and this is also an opportunity that my clan has been looking forward to for generations, although the hope is still slim, and the opportunity is always opened. If you really want to talk about it, our clan is more stained, and the old man will be grateful after the fact. ”
Miyako continued: "You are too polite. The specific harvest depends on the cultivation of the juniors. Youlao seniors open the door and let the juniors enter to escort them. ”
There was silence for a moment, and there was a roaring sound of water, and everyone disappeared again.
When Lin Xian and the others came to their senses, there was an extra piece of information in their minds, to the effect that the task of the first level was polar exploration. They will be divided into two groups to compete, with the team that reaches the pole first wins, followed by more specific but not very detailed requirements and itinerary information.
Finally, it was Miyakoshu's voice: "Let's start now, boys, first group up, and then make pre-departure plans and material preparations." Moreover, Xiao Jiao can only appear as a human body, and cannot be transformed into an ontology. In the end, the winning team is rewarded with treasures. ”
Long Yanjiao couldn't help but speak first: "Interesting and interesting, the first requirement is grouping, how do you say to divide it?"
Without waiting for everyone to answer, she hurriedly said excitedly: "It's better than this, I've seen a method for your human children before, but my family is just us and grandpa, and Ma Rulong and I can't be separated, it's really impossible to play, now it's okay, let's just hold the back of our hands." ”
"Hahaha, you can't play if you don't count enough. Yi Liunian smiled and bent over: "Tease me, I think it's okay, we will fulfill you, but it is only fair if at least four people form a group." ”
After a few rounds of palms and hands, the result was a group of Lin Xianjing, Zhuge Yun and Feng Qingjun, Wen Yin, Zhang Hanyun, Yi Liunian, Song Feifei, Chao Tianque and Ma Rulong, Long Yanjiao brothers and sisters.
Seeing that Yi Liunian's face was a little unpleasant, Long Yanjiao patted him on the shoulder and said: "Young man Hugh should be frightened, don't be afraid, I have an old lady, isn't it faster than speed? ”
Exactly a month later.
In a house at the pole of the destination, a group of Lin Xianjing and other five people rested, all of them with ruddy faces and full of energy. In front of them were four ice sculptures, inside which were the members of the second group, each with different postures and expressions frozen inside.
Miyako Shu still did not appear, only a voice came out: "Now I announce the results of the expedition to the polar ice field, one group of all the people arrived safely and won, and the second group was all wiped out on the way, and no one reached the pole, and I have to spend my strength to move you over." Open it for me!"
After a bang, the ice sculpture shattered, and the five people fell out together, soaking wet.
Yi Liunian's lips were bruised from cold, he looked at Long Yanjiao with resentful eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Miss Long, Miss Long Er, don't be afraid and crushed by your advantages?"
Long Yanjiao shook the water traces on her body, and bowed her head without saying a word.
Miyakoshu: "On this ice field expedition, you have experienced extreme cold, hurricanes, avalanches, ice gullies, icebergs, glaciers, etc. Now let's sum it up together, and I'll talk about it first. ”
"First of all, it's the difference between success and failure. ”
"Lin Xianjing's team will receive honors and rewards as the winner, and although the Xiaojiao group has experienced the same hardships and dangers, no one will pay attention to the second place, and you are frozen one after another, if you will be frozen to death in the real adventure, it is not just victory and defeat, but the difference between life and death. ”
"There are many reasons why this is the case. For example, expeditions require not only people, but also supplies. Lin Xianjing's team selected a lot of materials in advance, a thousand catties. They fully anticipate the difficulties of the environment, make adequate preparations, leave a lot of room for mistakes for themselves, and leave a great margin of room for error, so that they can always maintain the best condition. ”
"On the other hand, the Xiaojiao team, you only brought 200 catties of food and supplies to move forward lightly, is it enough? If you don't make any mistakes in the process, it is indeed just enough, but this is theoretically feasible, but in fact it is very scary. In the face of unknown circumstances and difficulties, if you don't leave enough to do so, once you make a mistake, you will fall into danger. So as you walk, you will find that there is no way out, and there is no way back.
"There is only consumption, no reserves, and it is destined to lack stamina, and it is difficult to withstand the wear and tear of time. In fact, the dangers encountered by everyone are similar, but the results are completely different, and it is worth reflecting on. ”
"The second point is that Lin Xian's team is walking slowly but steadily. Regardless of the weather, they insisted on making sure to travel about 50 miles a day. In such an extreme environment, it is good to do it quickly and well, but more importantly, how to do it quickly and well sustainably. ”
"On the other hand, the second group is too freewheeling, and when the weather is good, you can rush for a hundred miles a day, but when the weather is bad? ”
"You know, a lot of times, step by step, it may be slow, but in the end you can always get there, the fastest shortcut, not necessarily the best way, take your time, it's the fastest. ”
At this time, Yi Liunian asked a little unconvinced: "But this time it's faster than the speed! But if we are lucky, if we travel a hundred miles a day for a few more days, the uniform speed of a group will still not be able to catch up with us." ”
Lin Xian said with a shocked smile: "The strategy of the master must judge the situation, and if we change to other opponents, we will adjust our strategy and accelerate our progress." But a few of you, whether it is Liunian or Feifei, or Sister Xiaojiao, are all impulsive people, so I judge that you will definitely be in a hurry, so the plan I formulated is to be steady. ”
"We are walking slowly, but we never stop and retreat. The final results showed that although the route we chose was a detour, it was actually the best straight road when extended to a month. ”
Miyakosho went on to say, "Well said. Like this ice field, freezing three feet is not a day's cold. The so-called hugging wood is born at the end of the millimeter, the nine-story platform starts from the soil, and the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. This sentence is not outdated at any time. ”
"I like to play chess, and there is a term in Go called - a good player has no good moves. That is to say, people who are very good at playing chess, often you can't see the kind of magic move in a whole game of chess, or a hand that turns the tide, but only pursues more than half of the winning rate in each hand, commonly known as "half-eye win". ”
"Usually after a game of chess, there are only two or three hundred hands in total, even if there is only a little more than half of the winning rate of each hand, at most only more than 100 hands, you can win safely, which is enough to give the opponent a headache. ”
"And the so-called smart moves, although they look cool, win very happily and beautifully, but at the same time give the other party a blow, they often expose their own flaws, and the magic hand is unstable and unsustainable. ”
"And the overall magic seems to be unremarkable, but it can accumulate victory in bits and pieces, and turn crises into invisible. Relying only on clever hands to win is actually very risky, not only the error rate is high, but the consequences of a single mistake can be very serious. ”
"There is a cloud in the art of war, first of all, it is invincible, and then the enemy can be defeated. Lin Xian's team's method seems to be very clumsy and unpretentious, but the fruit of victory is never forced, but it is ripe and falls by itself. Competition is not entirely made up of hard work and sacrifice, but also needs to endure endurance and suffering. ”
"A lot of times, you just have to do what you have to do, and when the time comes, everything will change. Regardless of the external environment, regardless of good or bad luck, do not complain, according to their own plans, steady and steady, step by step, make a little progress every day, and then look back and find that you have come a long way. ”
"Lin Xianjing, do you have anything to add?"
Lin Xian exclaimed: "There is another point in tactical skills. They used pony horses to pull the sleds, and we chose hundreds of small snow dogs. Snow dogs are slow walkers, but they can survive for a long time in very cold conditions, thus ensuring their travel speed, and are the best companions in the ice and snow. The pony was strong, and walked fast at first, but it was not hardy enough, and I guess they froze to death halfway through, and finally had to pull the sleigh by hand, which was extremely slow. ”
Miyakoshu: "Fast is efficiency, slow is wisdom, both are needed." The years are long and the busy are self-promoting, and the heaven and earth are wide and the humble are self-hanging. We cultivators, we can't rush for quick success and let ourselves fall into anxiety, don't rush desperately because we are afraid of being surpassed by others and abandoned by the times, we must learn from the camel, it is never in a hurry, it walks slowly, chews slowly, it will always arrive, it will always be full. ”
"Alright, that's all for today. The reward that Lin Xian's team received was a primary Cold Frozen Human Bead, and the basic use method will be given to you. After this bead matures, it can theoretically reach the absolute freezing point, and even thinking can be stagnant, but your current level is not yet needed, and more and greater mysteries of efficacy still need to be comprehended and developed by yourself. Take it and play with it. ”
Everyone looked at it, the beads were not large and white, and the halo was circulating, which was moving, and the temperature in the room did not drop, but there was a feeling of coldness through the heart, which made people dare not look directly for too long.
Miyakoshu finally said: "The first level is the easiest, and it is extremely cold to hone your Dao Heart patience. I only know that the customs are different, and we need to be flexible. You rest for the night and continue to play the second level tomorrow. ”
