In many ancient books, there are descriptions of "spiritual wilderness".
In the classics of the world of spiritual practice, the more specific term is "end of spiritual exhaustion".
This is just a very simple natural phenomenon between heaven and earth.
The kind of spiritual energy that ordinary people can't feel at all, but is the source of power for practitioners, begins to gradually become thinner at a certain period.
Practitioners rely on absorbing spiritual energy to transform it into their own true essence. The spiritual energy becomes thinner, and the realms that could be easily achieved in the past will become difficult. Especially for new practitioners, it will be harder to catch up with previous practitioners.
Not only people, but those elixirs of heaven and earth that naturally absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and can be used to improve the cultivation of practitioners will also grow slowly or even die directly due to the lack of spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
"In the entire world of cultivators, there are three definite records of spiritual shortages. The shortest was more than sixty years, and the longest was nearly two hundred years." Chen Baoyuan was not at peace in her heart, but she learned this exact news very early, and she herself was
With such a temperament, his expression is still very plain: "According to various signs, the most likely thing now is that the spiritual famine we happened to encounter is neither short nor long, and is estimated to last for about a hundred years."
Lin Yi came back to his senses and smiled bitterly: "Even if it is sixty years, it is the same for us. It is enough to affect our lives. The length of time does not matter anymore."
Chen Baoyuan nodded.
The key is that from south to north, the spiritual wilderness in the south is faster than in the north.
There are beams in the south.
In the six years since Emperor Wu of Liang came to the throne, to be fair, he was considered a good emperor who worked hard to govern. He was much better than the previous emperors. The prosperous Jiankang City was a microcosm of the entire Liang Dynasty.
But there is more than one beam in the world.
There is Wei in the north.
Fifteen years ago, Emperor Xiaowen of Wei had unified the north and moved the capital to Luoyang. He was looking at the south like a tiger. Even though the Liang Dynasty is so prosperous now, it is only at a stalemate with the north and south of Wei.
It can be said that Emperor Wu of Liang was able to successfully mutiny. In addition to the fact that the previous emperor was fatuous, many reasons were also due to the pressure from the northern Wei Dynasty's continuous southward advance. Officials in the court had no confidence in the rule of the previous emperor.
"Is there going to be a big battle?" Lin Yi took a deep breath, looked at her quietly, and said.
Chen Baoyuan turned her head and looked into his eyes without speaking.
it goes without saying.
The north is dominated by tigers and wolves. In the past, the north invaded from the south, but the current situation has forced the south to invade from the north.
Lin Yi felt sad for a while. His parents were serving in the border army, and because of their high status, it was impossible to obtain immunity. Even letters had not been communicated for many years. If there was a war, he might not have the chance to see his parents again.
"It's not just this city, it's not just the people in this city that have changed, the whole world has changed. I won't go to today's class reunion. I don't have a good relationship with other people, and there's no point in trying to be coy with them."
Chen Baowan spoke very directly, just like when she was studying with Lin Yi, never being pretentious, "I advise you not to go to the class reunion, firstly, to avoid anyone targeting you, and secondly, I don't think Xiao Shufei will go either." She
What is her current status? What useful relationships can these old classmates bring to her? What's more, she is so smart. The more she misses her old relationship, the less likely she will appear in front of you. Otherwise, if people think that you are not connected at all,
On the contrary, it will bring disaster to you."
Lin Yi smiled slightly bitterly.
Xiao Shufei is the "she" in Chen Baowan's mouth at the beginning, and she is one of the four people he most wants to see.
When they were at Qiyun College in the past, he and Xiao Shufei were the most outstanding academically, and their family backgrounds were similar. They were recognized as golden boys and girls. The two of them also naturally had a secret love. Although they had not yet reached the point of discussing marriage, if they were
If nothing happens, the two of them will probably have to make decisions at home and have their whole lives decided.
But it's different now. Xiao Shufei's surname is Xiao, and Emperor Wu of Liang is her father's biological brother. Her father is now not only a prince, but also the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses. Her status is no different from that of a princess.
And since he was a guilty minister, it was no wonder that Chen Baoyuan spoke directly. His status was far different from Xiao Shufei's.
"Anyway, I have nothing to do. Let's go and have a look."
Of course Lin Yi understood her good intentions, but she still shook her head and did not hide it, "What's more, my father often told me before that if God abandons you, don't abandon yourself. There is still hope. If you abandon yourself, it will be really terrible."
It's like a pile of mud, it can't hold up the wall."
Chen Baowan was not angry, but laughed.
Lin Yi is indeed the same as before, stubborn, confident, and optimistic. And to her, Lin Yi is sincere and real, unlike the so-called young talents she has seen who are so fake.
"That's up to you. Anyway, I really came back to see you." She straightened her hair that was blowing in the morning breeze and said, "I have arranged a lot of preparations at home. I will leave Jiankang in the afternoon."
"Where are you going after you leave?"
"Maybe we will go to Sizhou, maybe we will go to Shangyong County, but we are not sure yet." Chen Baoyuan looked at Lin Yi, "Anyway, the further north, the better."
Lin Yi pondered for a moment and said, "There is one more thing I want to ask you for help with."
Chen Baoyuan asked casually, "What's the matter?"
"I want to go into the library of Qiyun College and have a look. There are many ancient books about Linghuang there, which may be of some use. However, many books from the previous dynasties have been classified as banned books, and some banned books collected from various places are said to be
It is placed in the library, and with my status, I am not allowed to go in and read it." Lin Yi was also very casual, not like asking for help, because he knew that Chen Baoyuan also regarded him as a true friend, and if he could do it, he would definitely do it.
help.
Chen Baowan agreed immediately, "It's easy. You can just go directly tomorrow. I will arrange for someone to wait for you, or you can go after the class reunion today."
Lin Yidao: "Then I will go after the class reunion today."
"Okay." Chen Baoyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "But I remind you, don't forget to report to Nantianyuan in three days. Don't be like before, get obsessed with reading and forget the time."
"You were not the same back then." Lin Yi laughed.
He and Chen Baowan were both famous bookworms at Qiyun College back then. Originally, he and Chen Baoyuan had no friendship, but Chen Baoyuan was not hypocritical and would speak out about people and things he didn't like. It was easy for others to look down on him, so
Among Chen Baowan's classmates at the same time, his reputation was not very good and he was difficult to get close to. But one time, the two of them were in the same bookstore reading classics, and they lost track of time. They stayed together for two days and nights.
At that time, another classmate came to find him and found out that so much time had passed. At the same time, the two got acquainted with each other.
Later, the two people got along well and became good friends.
"The dynasty has changed, the world has changed, but luckily you haven't changed yet." Chen Baoyuan also laughed. She slowly turned around and said softly, "Take care."
"Although the spiritual energy disappears slower the further north you go, the closer you are to the front line and the more dangerous it is. You have to be more careful." Lin Yi knew that she was leaving. He didn't know what to say, but he had a vague feeling.
After this farewell, it will be even more difficult to see Chen Baowan again.
"Miss, what is so special about him that you should ask for a letter of recommendation and a yellow bud pill for him?" When Chen Baoyuan returned to the carriage, there was already a middle-aged female driver waiting for her. The female driver looked at
The look in the dilapidated courtyard's eyes was full of confusion, "Besides, his identity is special, so I'm afraid he will bring trouble."
"Special?" Chen Baowan entered the carriage and sat down. When the curtain fell, a fleeting trace of sadness appeared on her face, "It can be said that he didn't have anything that his classmates from famous families lacked.
He is lacking, and has suffered such setbacks and changes. Over the years, he has already condensed into yellow buds without the need for my yellow bud pill. Do you think he is special or not?"
The middle-aged female driver was stunned.
She didn't say anything else, but when the carriage started to move, she sighed quietly and said in her heart, "What a pity."
