When Chu Ming came out, the sun was still bright and cloudless, but after one night, it began to rain lightly.
The rain in March brought with it the wind and the chill. It rained continuously for two days in a row, and the weather became increasingly cold.
Along this way, Chu Ming did not take the broad avenue, but walked along the country roads. In this era, the time is 2008, there are many people living in the countryside. Unlike the world where Chu Ming lives, many people have appeared.
**, there are not many people in the whole village.
It is surrounded by wilderness, but there are scattered villages here and there. In this era, there are not many cement roads between the villages, and there are only paths paved with earth and stones. When it rains, it becomes muddy.
Walking on the earth, Chu Ming only felt that the world was infinitely vast, but human beings themselves were so small.
Even with his current martial arts, what does it mean to the whole world?
Chu Ming used to live in the city and rarely had the experience of walking in the wilderness alone. Until this time, he entered the wilderness and traced the traces left by people in the wilderness. He felt more and more how big the world was and how big he was.
Small.
Just like this country road, it is not so much a road as it is a path that appears when there are too many people walking and weeds cannot grow.
If no one walks on it for a year or two, the road will disappear. However, as long as there are people, there will always be a road.
Man and nature are always fighting for survival!
In the city, there are high-rise buildings and busy traffic. Although the brilliance of civilization can be seen, nature is missing and there is no contrast. Although the traces of human beings are far better than the wilderness, they still lack a bit of the charm of struggle and lack of contrast.
A bit of a spiritual feeling.
After seeing nature, seeing the heaven and earth, Chu Ming recalled all the things in his memory, but he felt something different.
Chu Ming was walking in the mud, with the rain hitting him, and he didn't feel cold. It was difficult to walk on such a road, but for Chu Ming, it was like walking on flat ground.
He had lost his shoes on the first day, in order to bring himself closer to nature.
However, at this moment, Chu Ming's feet were still smooth, delicate and white, with no trace of dirt visible.
His feet stepped into the muddy water, and when they were lifted out, they were still smooth and clean.
In the Buddhist scriptures, it is said that only the soles of Buddha's feet are free from dirt and grime. After practicing martial arts to the level of Chu Ming, he can move his hands and feet with great strength, but it also creates a similar effect.
As for Chu Ming, if he was placed in a remote and backward place where the people were not smart enough, he would be able to attract a large group of believers in a very short period of time.
The wilderness was huge, and the villages were far apart. Chu Ming passed through one village after another without stopping between these villages.
Now that his martial arts has improved, his sense of time has improved again. Once Chu Ming's sense of time reached the 0.001 level, he could sleep for 51 microseconds every second to achieve the effect of seemingly never ending sleep.
But this time Chu Ming did not do this, but slept for an hour every day to regain his energy.
That kind of sleep that is accurate to microseconds is only suitable for special situations. That kind of state will cause Chu Ming's thinking to be briefly interrupted, although for ordinary people, that kind of interruption is not detectable, or in other words, ordinary people
Human thinking itself is intermittent, but the interruption of thinking is too short for ordinary people to notice it.
For Chu Ming, this kind of interruption would affect his thinking.
After walking for five consecutive days, Chu Ming only slept for one hour every day, did not eat or drink, and was still very energetic.
It was not until the evening of the fifth day that Chu Ming knocked on the door of a farmer's house and asked for a drink of water.
The farmer was very hospitable. He poured water for Chu Ming and chatted with him.
After knowing that Chu Ming came from other places, he even told Chu Ming about the origin of this place.
It turns out that the place where Chu Ming is now was once a swamp, and more than a hundred years ago, it was an endless lake.
It wasn't until more than 30 years ago that the army came here to open up wasteland and turn vast tracts of wasteland into fertile farmland, and then moved farmers here, that there was no human habitation here.
In the early years, when it rained here, the land would become swollen and muddy, making it impossible for people to stand. It was not until these years that it became normal land.
Chu Ming listened quietly to the farmer's endless words, but he pictured such a scene in his heart.
The big lake silted up and turned into a swamp. The swamp was reclaimed and there were traces of people. Until time goes by, if some people still remember this period of history, I am afraid not many people know that this land was once a swamp and a large lake.
.
To open up wasteland is undoubtedly to compete with the heaven and the earth to transform a place unsuitable for survival into a paradise suitable for human existence.
The power of one person may be weak, and the power of one generation may not be enough, but generations of people tirelessly transform the world, making the world more and more suitable for people!
The evolution of life is originally a process of adapting to nature, natural selection, and survival of the fittest!
But humans rewrite all of this, using their own wisdom and strength to accumulate and change from generation to generation, and finally make the world adapt to humans!
If nature chooses the fittest to survive, which is a kind of good thing, then it is undoubtedly a kind of rebellion to change the world and conquer nature!
At this moment, Chu Ming's thoughts were wandering, and he thought of the sentence in the Taoist scriptures that says people who go along the way will become immortals if they go retrograde.
In the Taoist scriptures, immortals have no restraints, but as people transform the world, how many natural restraints have they broken free from?!
If the human group itself is a living entity, does this count as a step-by-step retrograde transformation into an immortal?!
Chu Ming thought about it, and his mind became smoother and smoother. Chu Ming knew that he was on the right track.
Strive for survival, what is there in the world that can embody man's desire for survival better than what the world is like now?
That kind of thought, that kind of spirit, has long been engraved into the years and will last forever in the world!
After staying briefly for a while, Chu Ming said goodbye to the farmer and continued to move forward. Although he had already gained some gains, his journey had just begun.
As the time of this ascetic exercise continued to lengthen, Chu Ming's body gradually became thinner, but his spirit became more vigorous. Something indescribable in the dark gradually filled his soul, and in his mind
The spiritual world is precipitated.
Although Chu Ming's spirit was originally strong, it seemed empty and void, like misty clouds. It seemed vast, but lacked a foundation. It was okay to be calm, but once the storm came, it would move with the world.
But now Chu Ming's spirit is gathering from clouds into hills, turning into the earth, and has its own roots!
These days, Chu Ming felt that his thinking was becoming more and more stable, no longer as light as before, and he could accurately control every thought he had.
In addition, Chu Ming also felt that his will was becoming more and more firm and concise, as if it was about to shine, and nothing could shake it.
