Beyond the Noisy World: The Long Lost Eight Sects: 133, a journey of a thousand miles

lnmao.org, the fastest update outside: the latest chapters of the eight disappeared!

The so-called secondary forest is the forest system re-formed after the destruction of the original forest land. If there is enough time, the secondary forest will return to the state of the original forest land, reaching a new balance. But if external interference always exists, then the characteristics of the secondary forest will be obvious.

The destruction of the virgin forest system may be due to natural causes, such as fires, but more often due to man-made logging. The woodland they passed through today is obviously not the same as the previous days. There are not many lush trees. Larger plants are sparsely distributed, with many shrubs and large patches of grass interspersed with them.

Just as Ding Qi was speaking, everyone saw a tree stump. The flat fracture was obviously not falling down due to natural reasons, or was sawn off. This shows that there are frequent activities here, who come here to chop firewood or harvest all kinds of mountain products.

These days, they have been walking along the surface of Jingfeng, and there are other tributaries in the mountains, but the water potential of the stream is not too big, and they can always find a suitable place to wade over. When they arrived in this valley, they were already surrounded by a river with considerable water potential. Although the riverbed was wide and many places were not deep, it would be difficult to wade through if they could not swim.

Now that he found the traces of the aboriginal activities, Ding Qi looked around again, and said in front of his finger: "Let's try to climb to the top of the mountain, maybe we can see the village in the distance."

After eating lunch by the water, they climbed up the mountain in the afternoon, and they finally saw traces of people. This side of the mountain is a gentle slope, there are not many tall trees, there are a large number of bushes and green carpet-like grass, blooming all kinds of unknown wild flowers.

Under the hillside is a plain, and there are some hills on the plain. There are obviously pieces of artificially cultivated fields between the hills. After the river entered the plain, it spread out like a fan, and formed many large and small lakes between the fields and hills. Some rivers and ditches were obviously dug along the terrain.

At the end of the plain is a continuous mountain range. The mountain seems not as high as this side. There are villages close to the mountain range, and houses can be seen. There are four villages here. The village closest to the distant mountain range and the farthest from their location is the largest. The other three villages are surrounded by a zigzag pattern, and they are all about the same distance from the central village.

There are green plants and blooming flowers in the lake. The ones in the distance cannot be seen clearly, but the ones near the lake should be lotus flowers. There are still small boats parked in the larger lakes, and it is not too late to say it is, but there is no one in the fields where you can see clearly.

Bi Xuecheng asked curiously: "There are fields and ponds, why is no one working?"

Ding Qi shook his head and said: "It's not that there are no people, but you can't see. The places you can see are all at the foot of the mountain. It's still far from the village. There are still people in the fields closer to the village. Don't forget. After the night here, the villagers should all rush back to the village before the night falls, and now it’s getting late, and they won’t stay far away from the village."

Ye Yanxing: "Master, shall we go to the village now?"

Ding Qi shook his head and said: "Don't worry, it's easy to get to a place with humans. Let's find the campsite, take a bath and change clothes, clean ourselves up and look for the locals tomorrow. Inquire about the situation."

They have been walking in the mountains for almost a month. Fortunately, Ding Qi has been leading the way with a machete in his hand, and the speed of walking is not fast, so he did not become a beggar. Before they came, they were wearing high-top mountain boots, which were of good quality and strong, and they also prepared a pair of light casual shoes.

They also took a bath and washed clothes on the way. There is a girl like Meng Huiyu who is a little bit troublesome, but it's easy to handle. Find a safe and suitable place, and the three men will be alert not to peek around, but Meng Huiyu feels a little embarrassed. But she also loves cleanliness. Fortunately, the weather is good. If it is winter, this condition won't be available.

While it was still early, several people turned and walked down the mountain, first to find a suitable camping site, and then to find a suitable bathing place by the stream. It was getting dark after I was busy, so I hurried to make a fire for dinner, and finally I ate the last box of canned beef I brought.

During the meal, Meng Huiyu asked: "How far have we come?"

Ye Yanxing: "I can't remember when I went around, but I think I have it for hundreds of miles. I have never walked such a long way in my life!"

Bi Xuecheng: "How old are you and still in this life?"

Ye Yanxing asked, "Have you walked this far on foot?"

Bi Xuecheng shook his head and said: "Of course there is no, I feel that it is almost a thousand miles! The ancients said that'a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step', this is about to catch up with entering Beijing for the exam."

Ding Qi closed his eyes at this time, and looked as if he was staring at something, and suddenly he said: "If we count the straight distance, we actually only walked a dozen kilometers, between 12 kilometers and 13 kilometers. "

Bi Xuecheng exclaimed: "So short! How is it possible?"

Meng Huiyu reminded in a low voice: "Master said the straight-line distance." Then he asked, "Master, did we really go so far, so what is the curved distance?"

Ding Qi: "It's more than three hundred miles, which is more than one hundred and sixty kilometers. We walked along the water and went back and forth in this mountainous area with several big S shapes."

Ye Yanxing: "Take so many detours?"

Ding Qi: "This is a stupid way, and also a smart way, because we don’t know the terrain here, and we don’t know where the water will flow. The high mountains and ridges are very difficult to walk, which is much slower than walking straight on the plains. And we have been delayed for seven or eight days, not every day on the road."

They were really delayed on the road because it was raining in the mountains. Although they carried a poncho in their backpacks, it was not a wise decision to cross the mountains in the rain. Maybe they would get hurt if they slipped or even fall into deep valleys. Also stay in the camp to practice exercises.

Ding Qi felt very lucky. At least no one got sick or injured along the way, and there was always a suitable camping site in the mountains. The kind of place they found on the half-slope of the hill on the first day was under the empty cliff like a half-open grotto the size of a house. Although this mountain is not everywhere, as long as the road goes far enough, almost every day Can be found.

There are also deep caves and complex pores in the mountains in this area. But Ding Qi would not find such a place to camp. One afternoon they went into a big cave, twists and turns to a big one. In the cave hall, he immediately retreated. The smell inside is unpleasant, and there are piles of feces on the ground. You don't need to look up to know that the cave wall is covered with that kind of nocturnal white pterosaurs.

The night here is so deep, presumably many animals are also hiding in caves, so it is best to choose a place where you can see clearly at a glance to avoid unknown dangers. Fortunately, I can always find such a place, which I have to say is lucky.

When camping at night, Ding Qi also "communicated" with these grottoes under the rocks. The cave can't speak, so how can you communicate with others? This is not easy to explain in words, it is just a feeling.

For example, if you want to get started, you have to treat the things in your hands as alive. In the practice of the secret method outside the prescriptions, empathy with the world is emphasized, even if the word "telepathy" is not used, this is also a psychological phenomenon.

This feeling is even more obvious when the secret recipe cultivation base reaches the Xingshen realm. To feel the will of heaven and earth, you must first feel the breath of the surrounding environment. The cave can't speak, but it feels as if it can tell you something.

This is a pure spiritual experience. Ding Qi seems to have seen it through time and space a long time ago. If fifty thousand Taiping troops had actually entered Qin Gaotai back then, they would have been scattered in different places in this outer world, probably everywhere. In such an environment, the primary task of survival is to find a suitable camping site and be prepared to stick to it for a long time.

However, natural camping sites are not so easy to find. The military and civilians can gather together quickly, and then build some suitable places for temporary camps according to the terrain, such as digging out these spaces under the rock formations of the hillside. Why don't they look for plains or villages? Because there were no villages at that time, and the people in the mountains didn't know where the plain was.

The fields and villages seen on the high slopes today should be the result of the renovation of the environment after the remnants of the Taiping Army stepped out of the steep mountains. Before they came, the plains should have been primitive jungles.

Like Si is not like this kind of large herbivores that are good at running. In fact, the plains are more suitable for them to survive, but now they can only be seen in the deep mountains. It is not because the plains suitable for reclamation and habitation are occupied by humans. Ding Qi sitting in the stone niche and empathizing with the stone wall may be an induction or a speculation. He believes that these campsites in the mountains are left by predecessors.

Ding Qi was closing his eyes and meditating, and then he heard Meng Hui's words asking: "One hundred and sixty kilometers, how can Master remember so clearly?"

Ding Qi opened his eyes and answered two words: "Heart Disk."

The secret method of external prescriptions is based on the insight of the body state, and the cultivation of the body state first starts from the "mind book", from the "mind book" to the "mind realm". In fact, it is borrowed from the psychology skills and skills learned by Ding Qi. Throttle Heart Disc Surgery starts with Kung Fu. The body and mind is a world, and only by empathizing with the world you are in can you experience and sense the other world, and then put your heart to sacrifice what you have in your hands to break into the micro-level.

Jing Wenshi is equivalent to a key to open the door. After being able to sense the outside world, it will maintain this state at all times and treat Jing Wenshi as that world. This is the process of entrusting the heart to sacrifice. As long as it is done, the next thing becomes simple, just walk in with Jing Wenshi.

Practicing to the Hidden Escape Realm actually exercises a clear self-awareness, and at the same time, it is accompanied by the appearance of the indescribable spiritual consciousness. Jing Wenshi no longer needs to be held in the hand, it is integrated with the body and mind, and is a part of "I".

Further training to the Xing Shen state is to truly empathize with the world, which is equivalent to the extension and rediscovery of self-consciousness. The secret method of Fang Wai is different from other secret techniques in the world. Ding Qi can feel the so-called increase of mana with his cultivation, but it does not pursue any magical mana, only to explore and discover the unknown.

Actually, the cultivation at each level can be endless, such as the body-watching state, such as the micro-level. Even if you don't break through the next level, you can continue to practice and become more and more proficient.

Qin Gaotai is so vast that Ding Qi is still unable to influence and feel the will of the whole world at the moment, but it does not mean that he has not broken through the Xing Shen realm, nor does it prevent him from continuing to explore a higher realm.

Then what is the next realm after practicing the secret method to the Xingshen realm? Ding Qi had already given it a name, and still borrowed the secret technique of the Eight Gates of the Rivers and Lakes to call it Mind Disk State. He even had a vague feeling that the key to finding a door to go out in the Qin Gao platform was probably whether he could complete the cultivation of the Xingshen realm and break through to the next level.

Ding Qi has been cultivating for more than 20 days. He is condensing his mind. Although I don't know the scene of the entire Qin Gaotai, as long as I walk through it, it will be clearly presented in the soul, like an unfolding world, and like a three-dimensional view of time and space.

It was not until Ding Qi got out of the high mountains that they realized that they had been in such a big circle. But this is also no way. Who knows how many turns the water will turn in the mountains, and they can't rush aimlessly in the mountains. It is even more impossible to find a direction to walk in a straight line, and in many places it is impossible to climb and climb.

Ding Qi's speed has not been fast these days, on the one hand because the road is difficult, and he has to protect the three disciples behind him, on the other hand, it is also because he is condensing his heart. It is precisely because of such a heart disk in the primordial spirit that he knows how far he has traveled now, and how many kilometers the terrain is in a straight line.

The principle of condensing the heart disk in the secret recipe is not complicated, and several disciples have already practiced introductory skills. Ding Qi took this opportunity to explain to them in detail, which can be regarded as allowing them to cultivate in the future. There is a clear understanding of the trajectory.

After daybreak the next day, they packed their equipment and carried their bags, and tried their best to dress neatly, at least not so embarrassed, and adjusted their energy and physical strength to the best condition. No one knows whether the aboriginal people here are dealing well, and keeping the best condition can prevent accidents. In short, try not to cause mistakes and avoid conflicts.

Shortly after dawn, there was no one in the nearby fields, but cooking smoke rose in the distant villages. When they walked down the hillside, they could already see someone coming out of the village. Although they could not see the outline of the human figure, they could also see small dots moving out. Many people came in this direction. of.

"Master, there are sunflowers here, are they wild?"

Ding Qi: "The possibility of being purely wild is not very large. Someone should have brought it in and planted it, and then it grew in the wild."

There are sunflowers growing on the hillside, scattered in irregular patches, like wild ones. Sunflower was introduced to China during the Ming Dynasty and became an important oil crop. Sunflower seeds quickly replaced watermelon seeds and pumpkin seeds as one of the most common casual snacks. They can be eaten raw, and they are more fragrant when cooked.

If someone in the Taiping Army brought in sunflower seeds, and then planted them here, it was entirely possible. This is the outside world. Sunflowers may have appeared at the earliest, but this is unlikely. Because they haven't seen them for so many days in the mountains, they only saw them on the slopes close to the human population. It can be seen that they are not native species here.

The plain water system under the hillside is vertical and horizontal, and there are obvious roads between the fields. They found the largest road. There are many small bridges on this road, and they are basically brick bridges, made of large square bricks. . They walked for about an hour with their bags on their backs, and finally met a group of people head-on on the road.

Ding Qi was about to say hello, and the group of people saw them too, and rushed over quickly. What is this trying to do? Ding Qi squeezed the stick subconsciously. Unexpectedly, those people came to a place a few meters in front of him, knelt down and kowtowed together: "Welcome to the dear brothers! After we have the order, I waited day and night to wait for the day and night, and finally there was a deity who came to us. Dongdaying!"
