Identify the direction, drive the horse and gallop. A few days later, they enter Baiquanzhou, Anhe Kingdom.
This is not the direction to go home. On the contrary, the path he is taking now is getting farther and farther away from the country of Shan. The reason why he comes here is for one purpose, Fei Lengquan.
Baiquanzhou, as its name suggests, is famous for its many springs. It is also the only mountainous terrain area in Anhe. The mountains here are generally not high, but the springs in the mountains are overflowing. There are not only hundreds but hundreds of springs.
Most of them are ordinary mountain springs. Some of them may have certain healing effects on the human body, but there are also very few mountain springs that have very special significance even in the world of cultivation.
For example, this cold spring has a miraculous effect in nourishing the eyes and protecting the mind, and is especially suitable for practicing some visual skills.
The purpose of Hou Zi coming here is for his visual skills. In the words of Taoist Chongling, visual skills are difficult and time-consuming. It is best to lay a good foundation before Tongxuan, so as to have a clear vision for the future of the monks.
Growth is of great benefit, but if you wait until you gain spiritual awareness after mastering the mysticism before practicing this, the effect will be greatly reduced and it won’t make much sense.
Hou Zi attaches great importance to the practice of Muzi. He has been practicing diligently since he got it from Taoist Chongling, but the progress has not been great. The reason is that this method requires observing the sun rising, purple yang, sunset and twilight sun, and the middle yang every day.
The three yangs are very harmful to the eyes. Blindly increasing the intensity and time will not only be useless, but also harmful. Therefore, the daily practice can only stay at a very low intensity that his eyes can tolerate, and the progress will naturally be limited.
This time in the battle with Wu Xia Amon, he could not be seen in the whole field. In fact, part of the reason was his insufficient eyesight. In future battles, various complex environments will be encountered. Having a pair of good eyesight will help those who pay attention to bursts.
It's very meaningful to a swordsman, that's why he came here.
It was part of the plan, it was a feeling of fighting, and it was something that happened along the way; even as a monk, time is not free when people are under the roof. If he wants to take a break from his busy schedule and find a period of free control, he must at least reach Tongxuan.
A little bit possible.
Time waits for no one, so he pretended to be a public servant and took a break from his busy schedule to go to Feilengquan. This was also a place highly recommended to him by Taoist Chongling. As the price for Zhengxing's deception of hundreds of spirit stones, he felt that he could stand his ground.
Although Feileng Spring is a mountain spring, it is located on private land. It now belongs to a cave of Tongxuan Shangxiu. It is almost impossible for outsiders to come here to borrow spring water to wash their eyes, and very few people even know about it.
In the country of Anhe, there are still many practitioners who are not used by the Taoist sect even though they are at the level of Tongxuan. This is also the result of the laxity of the Taoist sect in Anhe. They just let nature take its course, and there are fewer orders like the Quanzhen Sect.
They act as one and have a tight organization; they are assimilated and incorporated by others, but cannot be twisted into a unified force to form a resistance force.
This cultivator had some friendship with Taoist Chong Ling's master, and had agreed to accept one of his disciples to come to Fei Leng Spring to cleanse his eyes. Chong Ling got this opportunity, but he didn't care too much about it. This was a rebuke from the Taoist tradition.
Chongling cultivates the way of the heart. When cultivating the heart, the eyes cannot be too clear.
It was easier for Hou Tzu, and it also made him more mentally burdened. Chong Ling really valued him, even though when they first met, they were secretly disdainful of this Taoist's indifference and indecisiveness.
The name of the mountain is Jingyang Mountain, and the cave is called Gurong Cave. The blind Taoist practiced self-cultivation despite his disability.
The mountain is neither big nor dangerous; the cave is not deep and there is no formation; Hou Zi found this place easily, but it does not look like a hermitage for a cultivator.
There are traces of animal droppings and bird excrement everywhere, and there are rotten leaves and dead branches everywhere. There is no sign of human work, just natural changes and disorder.
In this world where nature has returned to living things, it takes courage to live in seclusion alone, unless you can completely integrate into nature, be in harmony with nature, and let the monsters treat you as one of them. It seems that this blind Taoist
It belongs to this type.
There is no need to deliberately take precautions. If you truly achieve this, the creatures in the mountains will be your guardian beast soldiers.
As soon as Hou Zi entered Jingyang Mountain, he felt that there was always a certain kind of gaze following him. He knew that these were the masters of the creatures in the mountain; he could not retreat, and once he retreated, he would never have the chance to bathe in the spiritual spring.
After holding on all the way to Gurong Cave, he felt that the creatures watching him were already unknown, but he pretended not to know. According to Taoist Chongling's instructions, he lit a note of grass incense in front of the cave, and then waited silently.
The grass incense was given by Chong Ling, and it is actually a stepping stone for this trip; it feels like a lucky break. If the incense burns out and the owner does not come out, or goes elsewhere due to something, this opportunity may be wasted.
The normal time for incense is two seconds, but I don’t know the reason for this grass-top incense. It may be that it burns very quickly after being left for a long time, and turns into ashes in less than a moment. Soon even the ashes are gone.
It was completely blown away by the mountain wind.
There was no echo from the cave. Maybe it would take some time for the incense to drift in?
Hou Zi waited patiently. He did not wait for a reply, but instead he saw more and more mountain beasts peeking at him not far away. He could even feel the existence of monsters among them, and their realm was unknown.
A few hours later, it was getting dark, and he knew he had to make a choice; it was dark and late at night, and being in an unfamiliar wilderness forest was a test even for human monks. No one would do this if it was not necessary.
Should we continue to wait? Or just leave?
He knew that if he chose to leave here, there would be no chance in the future, and there would be no chance of coming back during the day; but if he sat still, what would happen to these mountain beasts that were becoming more and more arrogant? As long as one of them pounced, it would definitely
It's just a gang fight.
He has a consciousness that he must not conflict with the mountain beasts here.
How could he do this? He didn't know animal language, and he didn't want to endure everything just because he didn't want to conflict. When he had this understanding and recalled everything about his trip to the mountains, he suddenly understood something?
When he first entered the mountain, there weren't actually so many mountain beasts paying attention to him, but as he went deeper and deeper, became more and more alert and uneasy, there were more and more such attentions.
So, can we also look at it the other way around, if he was not so uneasy and vigilant, wouldn't he receive so much attention? And the attention now is still developing in the direction of hostility?
Not necessarily right, but you can definitely try.
Forcing yourself to give up fear and let down your guard is a very difficult thing. It almost means that you leave your life and death to the unknown. For a monk, this is not a responsible attitude towards life.
So first I forced myself to think about other things, such as practice, experience, the past, romantic affairs; and then I slowly began to withdraw my senses from detecting the outside world?
No more listening, no more smelling, no more seeing!
Then, he felt a vague mountain beast leaving: What the hell, this thing is not fun at all.
He was right in his bet. Since the Gudao people can live in harmony with the mountain beasts here, it means that they have such potential, as long as you don't stimulate them.
