ps: I put this paragraph at the beginning. After thinking about it, I found that the previous 31 chapters were indeed not very good. Maybe I wanted to reflect Yi Shuyuan’s extraordinaryness too much, so I took the first version of the scrap manuscript out of the recycle bin and changed it.

, it was Huang Hongchuan who proposed "a glimmer of hope", which should be more pleasing to the eye.

------------------

In the county government office, Yi Shuyuan's absence for more than three days did have a certain impact, but it was not as big as he imagined. After all, except for the first few days, there were not many people who paid attention to Wenku after that, and he left.

I even took a leave of absence before.

When Yi Shuyuan returned, he naturally didn't see any missing person notices or anything like that. Some government officials even greeted him normally, so he returned to the library without any trouble.

When he walked in the door, the furnishings were the same as when he left that morning.

The corner of Yi Shuyuan's mouth twitched slightly, hey, I, Mr. Yi, don't take myself too seriously...

"Sad, sad!"

Ridiculing himself like this, Yi Shuyuan walked to the desk, put down his umbrella and baggage, and took the inkstone that had been useless before to prepare for grinding ink.

Yi Shuyuan feels a little neglected in his work recently. After all, he is here to compile the county annals. Although no one is urging the progress, and although he does not deliberately delay, he is estimated to be quite behind. His hands are just grinding the ink, but his eyes are not.

I kept staring at the baggage under the table, feeling a little itchy.

Just watch it for a while, just for a while!

With this thought in mind, after Yi Shuyuan had prepared all the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, he couldn't wait to open the bag and took out the book given by the mountain god.

This book is obviously not made of ordinary material. Just touching it gives Yi Shuyuan a very solid feeling. There is no title or redundant description on the cover and title page of the book, but goes straight to the topic.

Yi Shuyuan just read a little and his mind was immersed in it.

The so-called mountains, rivers and land, from Huang Hongchuan's perspective from the mountain god's point of view, are a condensation of momentum, bearing its weight and connecting with the earth spirit. It is also the main way of practice in the mountain god's land, besides Shinto incense.

From a certain point of view, if I can completely abandon the incense and take charge of the mountains in the end, then the mountains will be me, and I will be the mountains. With the power of the earth and mountains, I will live as long as the heaven and the earth, and shine with the sun and the moon.

Not inferior to the best in immortality.

It’s a pity that it’s difficult! It’s too difficult!

In particular, the lands of some mountain gods were actually ghosts in the beginning. Because they were enshrined in the human world and received orthodox seals, they transformed into golden bodies and practiced cultivation. Such mountain gods were deeply entangled with incense. It can be said that the success of the incense and the failure of the incense have become incense.

It is even more difficult to achieve breakthroughs through self-cultivation, just as one wishes.

By analogy, Yi Shuyuan can probably imagine the situation of the gods in several heavens. They will only rely more on human incense. They are already pure gods of incense, but they cannot interfere too deeply in the general trend of the human world, otherwise the backlash will be unbearable.

Of course, the heavens of the several parties also have checks and balances on each other to some extent. This should be caused by the differences in beliefs between different places.

These seem to be somewhat contradictory, but in fact they are. It is just a matter of finding a balance point for one's own situation in development and checks and balances, hoping for the possibility of a breakthrough.

Of course, the facts are far more complicated than Yi Shuyuan thought, but he felt that this concept should exist, and Huang Hongchuan also expressed some similar thoughts intentionally or unintentionally.

Yi Shuyuan looked back little by little, and finally saw the real experience of cultivation. In Huang Hongchuan's words, in fact, the most obvious external feature of the mountain god's ability to control the earth is to control the earth, metal and wood, while the inner part is the control of the mountain.

.

Yi Shuyuan didn't intend to become a mountain god. He read the other general ones first, and in his eyes, he focused on the detailed ones that he might be able to obtain in the future.

Unconsciously, the time passed from morning to evening. Yi Shuyuan spent the whole day sitting in front of the copywriter and even forgot to go out for lunch.

At this time, there were footsteps approaching hurriedly. Yi Shuyuan looked up and looked in the direction of the door. He quickly put down the book, pulled the reference literature on the corner of the desk, grabbed the pen on one side and dipped it in ink, and started comparing it on the white paper.

Start writing.

A few breaths later, the chief clerk Wu Minggao walked over in a hurry. When he arrived at the door and saw Yi Shuyuan inside, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, Mr. Yi, you've been gone for three days and you didn't even say hello clearly when you asked for leave. If you don't come back, I'll think something happened to you! If someone hadn't said they saw you just now, I would have sent someone

Let’s go to Xihe Village to see it!”

Yi Shuyuan was embarrassed but also felt a little relieved. At least someone was still caring about him.

"Master Lin mentioned yesterday that he wanted to see how the county annals were compiled!"

As soon as Wu Minggao said these words, Yi Shuyuan's smile was awkward. Go, retribution comes so fast. It's better that no one cares about me, Yi!

"When will Mr. Lin want to see it?"

Wu Minggao walked to the desk, looked at what Yi Shuyuan was writing, and answered his questions.

"Originally, I wanted to see it yesterday, but I was asked to prevaricate it, saying that you had something to do at home and had to go back temporarily for a few days... Well, Mr. Yi, you should know what the progress is that I want to see, right?"

How could Yi Shuyuan not know this?

"Thanks for the reminder, Lord Registrar. Of course Yi understands it and can polish it up for Lord Lin to take a look at. However, this case is not over yet, so the writing will definitely not be complete."

There was something in Yi Shuyuan's words. In his heart, the real end would be that at least Jia Yuntong would be cut in half, and the people behind him would not be able to be kind.

Of course, if it is just written into the county annals, no matter what the result is, the night trial alone is enough.

"Hey, as long as you understand!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Wu, it should be fine!"

Yi Shuyuan said this sentence with confidence, because it was part of his ambition and he had almost finished writing it that night.

"That's good..."

As Wu Minggao spoke, he stood beside the writing desk, lowered his head and looked at Yi Shuyuan's calligraphy carefully. He couldn't help stroking his beard and sighed to himself, it was really a stroke of genius made by a masterful hand.

"Master Registrar, is there anything else you can do?"

"Oh, nothing else. Mr. Yi must remember to engrave a seal. After all, it is inconvenient without a seal!"

Yi Shuyuan smiled.

"Can't forget!"

The two chatted casually for a few more words, and then Wu Minggao said goodbye and left, not disturbing Yi Shuyuan's progress.

Yi Shuyuan watched Wu Minggao walk out of the library, and the footsteps gradually became distant. He immediately put down his pen and took out the book Huang Hongchuan gave him again to continue reading.

The book not only contains some insights into the scope of the mountain god's abilities, but also extends from earth, wood, and metal to the Tao of the Five Elements. After all, the five elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, and a single Tao also needs to be viewed as a whole to be comprehensive.

Time rushed to night. Even though he started to feel hungry, Yi Shuyuan was not willing to move. He just lit the oil lamp and continued to see some deceptive content.

This part of the so-called blindness method is actually a type of illusion method, which may use illusion techniques to present illusions, or use other methods to disturb people's minds.

The ghosts hitting the walls that people sometimes encounter in the mountains and wilderness also fall into this category. Although they seem false, they are not all trivial. Theoretically, when one has reached the highest level of cultivation, it is even difficult to distinguish between the false and the false, so it may not be impossible.

Realize the transformation from simply borrowing things to escape to stealing the sky.

"Nothing should be underestimated..."

Yi Shuyuan murmured, leaving a bit of awe in his heart. At the same time, he also devoted more attention to reading this part of the content, because he wanted to deduce and manifest his own Tao. This part of the content was absolutely absolute at least in the early stages of practice.

is very important.

------------------

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and Yi Shuyuan temporarily put down the book in his hand and looked at the light in a daze. He did not put on the lampshade tonight, so the beating of the flames was clearly visible.

From Huang Hongchuan's book, we can also understand how rare it is to have immortality and how unpredictable the path to immortality is. Yi Shuyuan feels that if the current situation continues, it is difficult to say how long it will take for him to truly come into contact with the basic magic of cultivating immortality.

Is my shackles really just the immortal skills? Maybe there are also lack of knowledge and ability, as well as other external difficulties?

How did Mr. Lin, the county magistrate, experience some kind of psychological change that night when faced with his own dilemma? Maybe sometimes it's not that complicated, it's probably just a very small reason?

At this moment, Yi Shuyuan thought of the thrush, and the distracting thoughts in his heart gradually dissipated.

Maybe I think a lot of things are too complicated. Yi Shuyuan thought so and stood up. He looked at the library. It was relatively spacious inside. He rolled up his sleeves, stood in the center, relaxed, and gently closed his eyes.

, think so much, why not give it a try!

Let’s start with martial arts!

Yi Shuyuan recalled the way A Fei boxed in front of him.

That feeling, that momentum, that strength, that vibration of muscles and bones, everything seemed to reappear in front of Yi Shuyuan.

The starting point of the first pose is to push the palm forward, while Yi Shuyuan's hand just pushes out slowly.

Yi Shuyuan's movements were not fast, it could be said to be extremely slow, and even the accuracy of his movements was not very high. However, no matter how wrong his body movements were, the feeling in his heart was getting closer and closer.

Gradually, Yi Shuyuan's movements became more standard. At a certain moment, his whole body trembled, and suddenly changed from slow to rapid, as if he was punched from a ghost.

Chasing the moon!

"Bang~"

There was a short blast in the air, and the entire library seemed to be lightly shaken. As the energy flew away, dust suddenly appeared on many bookshelves and even on the beams.

With this punch, Yi Shuyuan felt like someone who had been sitting in an office for a long time and had exercised too much. All the muscles and bones in his body began to ache, which made him grin.

"Martial arts, it's a bit interesting!"

It feels right, but my physical fitness is not enough.

So how do the immortal cultivators in this world practice?

The immortal way is hard to describe, but what about the spirits raised by nature and the monsters that have their own intelligence? No matter how you change, you should be able to absorb the aura of heaven and earth and collect the essence of the sun and the moon, right?

With this thought in mind, Yi Shuyuan moved his arms and returned to the table. At this moment, he was so spiritual that he didn't care about the dust in the room. He just sat down, raised his right hand and rested his chin on his fist to take a nap.

As Yi Shuyuan gradually fell into a state of half-dream and half-awake, his mind seemed to be spreading, as if he was feeling everything around him in a blur.
To be continued...
