Chapter 208: Clearing the Level [First Update]
(ps: It's time to ask for a monthly pass, zuihou!)
"The seasons change fast, the weather changes quickly, the natural cycle, every few hundred miles of a season, constantly circulating, is the current test of understanding related to the natural cycle?"
"Or, the seasons and the weather are always changing, so what is the same? What has not changed is the plain, which has always been vast, and what has not changed is my ,......."
............
Countless monks in the outside world were boiling for the sake of the Immortal Mansion, and in the Immortal Mansion, calmly walking on a verdant grass, feeling the scorching sun above his head, Guo Zhengyang frowned, he guessed that the test he encountered should be related to understanding, and it should be to find something to understand from the constantly changing seasons and weather on this plain.
But even if he had a clue and thought about it for a long time, he still didn't find a breakthrough.
He didn't know how to describe this test of understanding in front of him, good luck or bad luck? He didn't encounter any murder crisis here, everything was vast at a glance, everything was calm and quiet, this was luck, at least he didn't have to worry about the sudden life and death crisis around him.
But such a strange test, relying only on pure brain power and understanding, if you want to solve this problem, the difficulty is not ordinary.
"Boom~"
"Wow~"
......
Just as Guo Zhengyang was walking, the weather in the sky above his head suddenly changed again, and the scorching sun was covered by clouds, accompanied by thunder, and the pouring rain fell head-on, and everything within Guo Zhengyang's line of sight was included in the rain curtain in the blink of an eye.
In the pouring rain, Guo Zhengyang was still walking slowly, his brows furrowed.
After all, he doesn't know how many times he has encountered such weather changes, and it is not worth caring about at all. Guo Zhengyang's eyes fell aimlessly, watching the grass under his feet smashing in the heavy rain, and even a lot of grass was quickly smashed and lay down, drowning in the rain.
He still didn't care, until after a while, the clouds and rain stopped, and the scorching sun shone again, and the scorching sun continued to bake the earth, not only gradually steaming away the rain that had gathered on the earth before, but also continuing to exude a scorching high temperature, steaming and roasting everything.
Guo Zhengyang strolled again. His eyes swept over a piece of grass, but what he saw was the crisp life of Xiangshang, facing the scorching sun, of course, not all blades of grass were stretching their limbs. Some of the branches and leaves have been steamed, but they are still growing tenaciously.
Wait to walk out of this area shrouded in summer. He soon arrived at an autumn plain again.
In this autumn atmosphere, there is nothing but grass on the plains. Occasionally, there are some ordinary small trees, but many of the grasses have begun to wither, and even those small trees continue to shed their branches and leaves as the autumn wind sweeps away.
After autumn, it is winter.
Guo Zhengyang was thinking about it and saw bare trees swaying in the cold wind from time to time, and a cold wave hit. Some of the trees were frozen out of the frost, and in the fragile state, a gust of wind could break a few branches, but those trees. It's still growing tenaciously.
Or maybe it's snowy, crushing down on some small branches, and the heavy snow can occasionally break a small tree.
"The seasons keep changing, the weather keeps changing, what the hell is going on...... What do these changes mean?"
"In the midst of a lot of change, what is constant?"
............
Walking around, Guo Zhengyang doesn't know how much time has passed, but he still has no clue in his mind, and he keeps walking, whether it is walking with strong physical fitness or flying by star weapons, this plain is like boundless and has never been able to walk, and he has been struggling to get his thoughts in his heart, and Guo Zhengyang occasionally has a trace of irritability.
It was when he walked to a spring shrouded area that his gaze swept ahead, followed his body for a moment, and quickly turned his gaze back from a small tree in front of him.
Walking to the tree, Guo Zhengyang stared at the tree, and his eyes seemed to have understanding.
This is a broken small tree, the thick branches of the arm grow from the ground, but when it extends to the position of half a human height, there is a fracture, and the trunk and branches and leaves on it have long been gone, this seems to be a broken place blown by the wind and snow, but it has been under the beautiful spring breeze, emitting young shoots.
Looking at this broken tree, and suddenly remembering some trees that were crushed by frost or blizzard when he walked through the east season before, Guo Zhengyang suddenly flashed a flash of inspiration in his mind.
"In this grassland, the weather has been changing, the seasons have been changing, but what has not changed is life! ”
"Whether it is a mild and suitable and beautiful environment, or the harsh sun, merciless ice and snow, these ordinary flowers and trees have never changed their dedication to life, even if their limbs are broken, they will bloom with new vitality after the wind and snow. ”
"Could it be that this test is for me to experience the persistence and unyielding of life?"
............
Suddenly, he connected the road he had walked before, what he saw and heard, Guo Zhengyang just had a thought in his mind, he suddenly felt a whirlwind of the sky, his vision was dim and disorderly, and when Shijie gradually returned to order, Guo Zhengyang opened his eyes and found that there was darkness in front of him, waved his hand, and found nothing, he couldn't feel the existence of his limbs at all.
Suddenly encountering this strange change, Guo Zhengyang panicked at first, but soon forced himself to calm down, and then after a moment of careful experience, he realized that he had turned into a small tree.
It is a small tree more than a meter tall, with branches thinner than a baby's arm, stretching in the spring breeze.
"It seems that I really guessed the key to the test of the plains, and now I have become a tree, so that I can experience the harshness of nature with the limbs of a tree, and experience the persistence of life, unyielding?"
"Yes, an ordinary tree, in the face of the harshness of nature, there are too many force majeure factors, it can be called cold and ruthless, although the monk has all kinds of great powers, but in the face of the avenue of changing his life against the sky, in the face of the way of heaven, in fact, it is not stronger than a small tree in the face of nature, and even more insignificant, only with a persistent and unyielding heart, can it go on. ”
"Dizzy, such a big plain. Comprehension is only the first test, and comprehension is just for you to discover the exam questions from heaven and earth, and then it is the test of your heart,......"
............
A string of thoughts flashed in his mind, Guo Zhengyang was still thinking about it, but suddenly felt that his memory was draining away like a tide, and in a short period of time, he even forgot that he was a monk and Guo Zhengyang, and his brain was blank and empty......
Forget who you are. Forgetting that he was a human being, he gradually only knew that he was a small tree.
Growing under the spring breeze of harmony, the stretched branches and leaves carry out photosynthesis and strive to grow, that kind of longing for sunshine. The need for water grows as it grows.
After every spring rain. The small trees will spread their branches and leaves beautifully. With the body of the tree that still has rainwater, enjoy the joy of life.
It's just that when the weather gradually becomes hot, gradually drying up, and the sun is getting hotter and hotter, the little tree gradually feels hungry and thirsty, and the fragile little tree. The underground rhizomes were not able to reach out much to the surface to draw much from the parched soil, and a deadly hunger and thirst grew, as did the feeling of weakness and powerlessness.
Dry and uncomfortable. The pain was so strong that the little tree couldn't help but want to fall asleep, so that he would no longer have to endure the torture of the scorching sun.
"Boom~"
I don't know how long I have endured the dry and uncomfortable, in the countless times I want to give up everything, and when I fall asleep, there is always a kind of persistence in the depths of Xiaoshu's thoughts, there is always a kind of stubbornness, unwilling and unwilling to give up, and finally get to the sky with more wetness, he is also trying to cheer, is trying to absorb those wetness to quench his hunger and thirst, a thunderbolt suddenly shook across the sky, and smashed down on the side of the small tree, smashing a boulder at once, and the boulder fragments flew over, and one of the fist-sized stone chips snapped on the small tree branch, which actually broke the trunk a lot on the spot。
Hurt!
The breaking of the limbs made Xiaoshu feel heart-rending pain, and the pain seemed to be dissipating, but this pain and torture was more terrifying than the previous dryness and discomfort.
The pain was so painful that he wanted to let it go again and again, as long as he closed his eyes, it seemed that he could no longer endure the pain and suffering, and he could be peaceful forever.
But when he wanted to give up countless times, there was a persistence in his mind, and even he didn't understand where this persistence came from, and it has always supported him to survive.
The day gradually became dry and stuffy again, and the little tree, which had finally recovered from the last injury, felt extremely hungry and thirsty again, unable to absorb water, and the feeling of exhaustion of extreme lack of water came again, this time it was much more serious than the last time, so serious that he had to take the initiative to give up some branches and leaves, reduce the transpiration of his own water, and cut off his limbs, just to survive.
No matter how harsh the environment is, no matter how cruel the fate, there is always a persistence in his heart! That is the desire for life!
............
In the extremely harsh natural environment, I have been reincarnated again and again, and I want to give up countless times, but in order to survive, in order to seek the bloom of spring flowers in that short period of time, Xiaoshu endures again and again, persists again and again, and finally I don't know how long it has been.
An inexplicable consciousness suddenly revived from his mind, and with a whirlwind of the world, Guo Zhengyang suddenly woke up.
When he woke up, his body was already covered with cold sweat, and he sensed the existence of his limbs again, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, Guo Zhengyang opened his eyes violently, and it was obvious that he was on the edge of a green lake.
The moonlight of the lotus pond and the rich aura of heaven and earth are set off, and the surrounding scenery is gorgeous and beautiful to the limit.
In front of Guo Zhengyang, there was a moving strange tree waving in the wind, just smelling the aroma of the strange fruit on the strange tree, Guo Zhengyang was shocked, and the whole person seemed to be full of liliang feeling.
"This is a pass? The test of the mind? Not only is the test question so deeply hidden, it took me so long to find out, but later in the process of the test, even my own consciousness was worn out, and I was purely incarnated into a tree, and I fought against nature with the thinking of a tree, and my own consciousness was worn out, this kind of mental test is too terrible, right? Is it the direct heart?"
"Eliminate all vanity, erase all your body and memories, and point to the persistence in the depths of your heart? As long as your heart is shaken a little, I am afraid that you will be willing to dissipate under all kinds of severe tribulations, and the test will probably fail. ”
......
Roughly understood something, Guo Zhengyang's heart was still full of shock, it was really not easy to get this immortal mansion inheritance, the first test he encountered was even weird to this extent, not only tested the observation, understanding, but more importantly, the heart's persistence and unyielding cultivation of the heart.
Now, I have suddenly moved from the plain to the side of this gorgeous lotus pond, is it a test? This moving strange tree and fruit in front of me is my reward? (To be continued......
