If you were going to Hpakant, you would have to fly to Myitkyina and then drive to Hpakant. However, the mining area Chen Ran chose to go to was on the Chindwin River downstream of the junction of the Uyu and Tanai rivers where Hpakant is located.
on-line.
This place is already outside the scope of the jade mining area designated by Myanmar. It is further down than the famous Damukan area in the lower reaches, and it belongs to the edge of the mining area.
Naturally, a mine in such a location would not be very big. If it were big, it would have been enclosed by Myanmar.
There was a reason why Chen Ran chose to go to this venue.
When looking at the wool materials, Chen Ran found several pieces of high-ice jadeite wool among the wool materials brought by the organizing committee to make up the numbers. Among these materials, Chen Ran found glass-type materials. It is said that he found a few pieces.
There is nothing unusual about high-ice jade, but what is strange is that these pieces of high-ice jade have not only green jade, but also two seawater jade. The reason why it is said that there are both green jade and seawater jade.
It's strange, but it's because these high-quality materials all come from the same place.
Different markets have different characteristics of the wool they produce, such as color, some are black gauze, some are dark red, some are yellow...and the thickness, uniformity, thickness of the leather, as well as the size and distribution of the particles.
Condition, bonding fastness to leather, etc.
Therefore, when a stone-making master who is truly proficient in wool looks at the wool, he can usually accurately tell the origin of the wool at a glance.
Although Chen Ran couldn't tell which outlet these pieces of material came from, he could still tell that they didn't come from the same outlet.
Chen Ran didn't notice this at first, but he suddenly noticed it later when he put two pieces of ice material together and compared them.
After noticing it, Chen Ran deliberately searched for the "same type" of materials on the public market.
As expected later...
There are not many materials on display at this venue, and they are obviously just used to make up the numbers.
This is undoubtedly strange.
Judging from the overall situation, the materials at this site are obviously not taken seriously. The lack of attention undoubtedly explains a lot of problems. First of all, this site is not big, and secondly, it has never produced good materials. In the woolen materials industry,
It also pays attention to pedigree and nobility. Mines that have produced high-end and top-quality jadeite are called famous mines. In this way, the value of the material coming out of the pit will be much higher than the material coming out of the mouths of "commoners".
Just like those old pits.
Finally, this mine is either newly opened or about to be closed. This can be seen from the fact that there are not many materials on the public market at this mine, and they are all used to make up the number.
Not being taken seriously means that high-end jadeite has never appeared in this market before. If it had appeared, it would not have been ignored. However, now the raw materials used for public sale in such a market that is not valued are
There are seven or eight pieces of high-quality ingredients. These ingredients are basically all gambling ingredients. What does this mean?
This means that except for Chen Ran, no one else, including the owner of this venue, knows that the materials they use to participate in the public sale will include high-end materials, or even that this venue can produce high-end materials. This
This also means that there must be more than just a few pieces of high-end materials in this market.
Now that Chen Ran discovered this situation, he naturally had to go to the entrance of the market to sweep up the good materials inside.
When the public auction ended on the first day, Chen Ran was in the organizing committee office and wanted to check the information of the owner of the woolen material because he wanted to check this site.
…
The entrance to the venue is called Huilu Station. The entrance is not big, so not many people know the place. However, the organizing committee specially selected a local national security officer to guide Chen Ran and his party.
When I watch movies and see the scenic spots shot in Myanmar, Thailand and other places, I always feel that these places are very beautiful, but when I get there, I don’t feel the beauty anymore. It’s better in the city. When I go out of the city, I can only use one word to describe it.
It describes, desolate!
Most of the roads are still dirt roads, and the loess stirred up by cars running over is like a sandstorm coming.
Chen Ran looked out the window for a while and then started practicing with his eyes closed.
What he practices is not the method of breathing and gathering Qi, but a cultivation method specifically used to exercise mental strength.
This cultivation method was selected by Chen Ran from the Tang Mijin Book. Since absorbing the Tang Mijin Book, Chen Ran would sort out the memories absorbed from it whenever he had free time.
The memory absorbed from that piece of cloth is indeed the inheritance of Tang Mi. The inheritance is divided into upper and lower parts. The upper part contains Tang Mi's teachings and canons, while the lower part contains Tang Mi's many cultivation methods.
These cultivation methods are further divided into three parts, namely the Zatantra, the Embryo Realm, and the Vajra Realm. The Zatantra is the method of using various spells, focusing on magical powers, driving ghosts and gods, divination and medicine, etc. Tantric Buddhism is mainly based on the study of
Mantras and mantras are the main ones, so this part occupies a very important part.
The womb treasure world is dominated by the Mahavairocana Sutra, which is mainly about cultivating the mind. The Vajra Realm is based on the Diamond Crown Sutra, which contains many methods of body training.
Chen Ran was not interested in the teachings and canons of Tang Mi, but he was very interested in many of its cultivation methods, especially the Mahavairocana, which focused on cultivating spiritual power.
The reason why this is so natural is because of his superpower. His superpower is now called spiritual power. When he saw the spiritual power cultivation method in the "Great Sun Sutra", he thought about how to cultivate his current spiritual power.
I wonder if strength is useful? After trying to practice it, I found that it is indeed useful.
After practicing for a few days, although the mental power has not increased much, it is obviously much more solidified than before. I didn't feel much before, but now after practicing, I feel that the mental power he released before seems to be particularly scattered.
.
Chen Ran not only practiced the method of exercising mental power, but also learned many ways to use mental power, such as perception ability, coercion, adjustment and control of the surrounding environment and atmosphere, changes in temperament and momentum, weather prediction, etc.
They are all simple small methods, but more complex and advanced ones include qi-watching, aura arrangement, exorcism, voice control, object control, and even hypnosis, etc.
Some of them were actually used by Chen Ran before, but he didn't understand the principles at that time and figured them out unintentionally. Now that he has obtained these application methods from the Tang Mi inheritance, it is undoubtedly like
It was as if someone from Yeluzi suddenly received the principles and guidance of the system. Naturally, he felt like a treasure.
Of course, he has just come into contact with it now. Small methods can be easily mastered, but complex and advanced ones obviously require him to practice and master them slowly.
…
The practice of mental power method is not as complicated as imagined. You only need to keep calm, breathe evenly, and then imagine that there is a sun between the eyebrows or the heart, and then concentrate all thoughts and consciousness in this direction.
In this way, you will feel that all the energy in your body has turned into spring water, flowing towards the deep pool between the eyebrows or the heart.
Why is it said "between the eyebrows or the heart"? This is because in Tang Mi, spiritual power is divided into upper and lower parts. The upper part is the spiritual power at the brain, and the lower part is the spiritual power at the heart.
It is impossible for ordinary people to still see things after closing their eyes, so close your eyes and imagine yourself looking at the objects in front of you. Don’t imagine seeing with your eyes, but imagine your brain receiving the information from the front. There must be a sense of
A strong desire to see, if the brain produces a feeling of boiling, swelling, or pressure, and this feeling can flow and compress - this is the mental force in the brain.
Ordinary people will feel something in the heart when their emotions change. For example, when they are sad, they feel the pain of being torn apart. When they are depressed, their heart feels oppressed. When they are happy, their heart also feels relaxed. These feelings occur.
The energy is the spiritual power in the heart.
In fact, to put it simply, it is the difference between brain power and heart power.
Both can be practiced at the same time and complement each other.
Chen Ran's practice is a little different from other people's practice, that is, whether he concentrates his consciousness on the Niwan Palace between his eyebrows or on the inner field of his heart, he will jump into that white space, and then practice in that white space.
This is obviously related to his superpowers and the mutations caused by the injury to his heart.
After practicing, Chen Ran can now see a lot of things with just a little concentration, and the feeling of detecting the surroundings has also changed after practicing this method.
Although I could see and hear when I was detecting in the past, I was watching and listening from the perspective of a bystander, just like watching a TV movie. But now it is different. When I go to detect again, Chen Ran will have a strange feeling.
A feeling of being immersed in it.
Just like when you detect the surrounding air, you will have the feeling that "I" am also the air. When you detect a piece of grass, you will have the feeling that "I" am the grass, and the grass is "I". Then there is the feeling.
Sometimes I still feel that this grass is "me", and then "I", the grass, can do whatever I want.
Chen Ran also found the reason for this change in feeling, that is, after practicing, his mind has been improved. It cannot be said that his mind has been improved. After all, he has just started practicing, and it is impossible to change like this in such a short period of time.
Big, or it is more appropriate to say that the control of the mind has been enhanced. He has never practiced this aspect of the mind before, but now he has mastered the method after practicing, so...
…
Although the time spent on the road was longer than Chen Ran expected, he was practicing along the way and it didn't feel like it was long. Wu Laosan obviously didn't feel like this. He was stunned along the way.
, I felt dizzy the whole way.
The team turned a large bay and saw a very wide river, but there was no water in the river. The river was dug into pits, which meant that some rainwater had been stored in it. On the other side of the river was a canyon, and the hills on both sides of the canyon were full of piles.
Abandoned stones.
Knowing that he had arrived at the place, Chen Ran also ended his practice and looked out the car window.
Without any deliberate exploration, Chen Ran felt the existence of spiritual energy here, although it was still very thin for the time being...
Could it be that emerald veins can produce spiritual energy?
This was Chen Ran's first time to the jade mine, so he didn't know if there was aura in places with jade veins. He felt the rich aura energy coming from the front, and he used his mental energy to detect it.
Before he could check the source of the spiritual energy, Chen Ran's eyes suddenly froze.
After a moment of reflection, Chen Ran said to Feng Xianjun, who was driving in front, and Han Yuchun, who was in the passenger seat: "Da Jun, slow down a little. Old Han, call the people in the other two cars right away!"
