Zhang Yan has spent most of the past twenty years in seclusion. Apart from regular visits to his home to see his dying mother, he only made an appearance during the first internal competition.
It's not that I'm blocked, but that my mind has become hard to find space for.
It's not that Zhang Yan suddenly became diligent, it's that he has never understood the Tao like he does now.
There are no years in the mountains, the reason is due to enlightenment.
The more profound the "principle" is, the more time and energy it takes to understand it. Once a monk has a long life and has completely achieved inedia, he will often retreat for several years or even more at a time.
long time.
In fact, Zhang Yan's character is essentially the same as Wang Nian's. He has his own likes and dislikes about the world of mortals, as well as his persistence and difficulty in letting go.
Therefore, Zhang Yan intentionally set a limit on his time in retreat so that he would not be separated from the world of mortals.
But the sudden enlightenment he gained when he died in the Edge Realm twenty years ago really made him have to seize the time to realize it. In addition, the Desolate Heaven Realm later sent countless "rewards" to his hands. So the two
In the past ten years, Zhang Yan has been busy dealing with these two things, and it is difficult to have a moment of leisure.
Even though he was busy, Zhang Yan was always enveloped by his spiritual thoughts on every plant and tree in the cliff mountain.
Like the world of cultivation in the Wild Sky Territory, Duoya Mountain has also been in its initial stage in the past twenty years. The sect's hall, disciples, mountain tops and even the number of cultivation paths are still slowly being selected and have not yet been finalized. It's just because of Zhang Yan.
The early layout and the advantages of Cliff Mountain itself seem to be far stronger than those outside the mountain.
Although Zhang Yan left all matters in the mountain gate to his three apprentices, Zhang Yan became more and more reassured by his secret observation during the past twenty years. Not only did the three apprentices find their own "Tao" in practice,
And he also has his own unique insights in Shanmen affairs. From a small number of people to a large number of people, he changes the management strategy of Shanmen according to the situation. And he is not deterred by the increase in status within Shanmen and the various flatteries coming from outside Shanmen.
If there is a mental flaw, stick to your heart as always.
This is very rare.
Therefore, Zhang Yan did not feel the need to show up during the second competition within the mountain gate. It would be enough if the cultivation world outside the mountain could have a stable and vigorous development. The role of Duoyashan is to guide, and he does not seek to continue to expand his influence.
It is most appropriate to maintain a bit of mystery.
He didn't show up, but nothing about the things in the mountains could escape Zhang Yan's mind.
Everything else is easy to talk about. There is nothing that Zhang Yan is particularly concerned about.
But when the fox demon in the mountain, which he had been observing as an example, suddenly had a violent psychological reaction, Zhang Yan's attention was pulled away.
As a result, Zhang Yan discovered that there were two more interesting people in this door.
Although it looks like he is only in the Qi-entraining realm, he can exert the power of rules and use the power of space rules to directly hold a little fox demon in place.
It is impossible for a monk in the Qi-entraining realm to withstand the threshold of using the power of rules, so the two monks who clashed with the fox demon were by no means simple.
But Zhang Yan observed carefully and found nothing unusual about the other party. Whether it was the breath or the force reaction, he looked like he was in the real Qi-entraining realm.
"Is it so weird?"
Zhang Yan felt that after his death in the edge world, he had gained insights from practicing in the mountains all day long, and he hadn't felt as good about something as he did now for a long time.
It just so happened that recently Zhang Yan had some new understanding of the "rewards" given to him by the Wild Sky Territory, which he could use in the current situation.
So my mind sank into the boundless principles of heaven and earth, looking for the "principle" that belongs to the evolution of the wild world, and then I can easily find the strongest rule of time attached to it.
Zhang Yan doesn't have a clue about the power of the rules of time yet, but he can already follow this thread to find out some past events that should have been submerged in the long river of time in the Desolate Heaven Realm.
In other words, at this time, Zhang Yan's epiphany from the death of the Edge Realm, and the evolutionary context of the rules given to him by the Wild Sky Realm, both of them found a new way to explore the past memories of the world.
If this method is combined with the Taoist "Gua Technique", it will become a very interesting and practical thing.
For example, let's take a look at the background of those two weird monks.
As a result, Zhang Yan was shocked when he did not check.
"Why is there nothing?!"
This shocked Zhang Yan. The creatures that evolved in the Wild Sky Domain, even an ant, will be recorded in the memory of the Wild Sky Domain intact. This includes Zhang Yan himself.
It can be seen that these two people only have the beginning of an "existence" in the wilderness, and then there is a blank, or nothingness.
It's like a book, it just has a bookcase and nothing inside.
Zhang Yan believed in the Desolate Heaven Realm and would not bother to modify his memory for the sake of two creatures. At the same time, he also believed that the method he had devised by himself would not go wrong. Then the remaining problems could only be caused by those two weird people.
The monks have it. It’s just as weird as how they can wield the power of rules even though they only have the Qi Entrainment realm.
For example, what these two people are showing is an illusion. Not only are they not Qi-entraining monks at all, but their origins from the Desolate Heaven Realm are also fake?
It's not that Zhang Yan is overly sensitive. It's that after experiencing so many invasions by alien creatures, no matter how slow he is, he should become more vigilant.
However, subsequent observations made Zhang Yan feel that there was no malice or excessive behavior in these two people. In addition, Zhang Yan did not find any signs from the other party that could confirm that he came from outside the territory except for inference. He did not find any signs from the other party.
Didn't act rashly.
It wasn't until the last day of the competition within the Duoya Mountain Gate that he decided to contact the other party in person to see what kind of quality the other party was like.
First, the senses of the people around him were blocked, forming an area limited to Zhang Yan and the two weird monks, which was more than five feet away.
Then Zhang Yan got closer and found that the reaction of the two people to his sudden appearance and after he revealed his identity was wonderful. In addition to surprise, there was also a trace of panic. And there was an extra layer of obviousness that should not have been there.
of "alertness".
Especially the waist badge that the other party held on his waist with one hand, Zhang Yan keenly captured this detail. The waist badge was made of jade, with cloud patterns engraved on it, and there seemed to be a strange heraldry in the middle of the cloud patterns.
"You two have come from afar. As a landlord, Zhang Yan is really careless. How about you two move over and sit in the hall for a while and drink a cup of tea?" Zhang Yan sent out the invitation with a smile, and at the same time, the surrounding space was cut directly by him.
.He wanted to see if the other party really had any means to force him to leave.
p went to physical therapy in the morning, and I will make up the remaining two chapters in the afternoon.
