Imagine the world

Hua Zhenxing brought ten boxes of dried abalone with soft-boiled heart, but he couldn't just bring dried abalone, because it was quite laborious to process and couldn't be eaten on the spot.

Before Huazhen came here, he had already made ten abalones in Pingjing by himself, and they could be served directly on the table after steaming and pouring sauce.

In addition, he also prepared twelve legs, which are gazelle legs with the best meat and taste, and are also the favorite food of lions and leopards on the grassland.Huazhenxing has already smoked it, and the preparation method is similar to the wind meat in Ba province in the east.

The springbok legs smoked by Hua Zhenxing himself do not require any special processing when eating. The meat is cut into thin slices and steamed with a layer of bean gluten underneath.

Huazhen Xing did not expect that there would be so many people in advance. Fortunately, these two gifts were prepared, otherwise they would not be enough for everyone to share.

The cooked abalone was cut into slices and served on a plate on each table. The springbok legs were also made whole and divided into four plates. Everyone was full of praise.Not only did Hua Zhenxing bring vegetables, but he also took out a box of Dongguo wine that had expired for many years, which also received unanimous praise.

It was said that it was dinner, but in fact, the dinner started at three o'clock in the afternoon and lasted until after five o'clock.Traditional dinners during Chinese New Year are often like this. Many dishes are ready-made, and you can start drinking when the guests gather, and you are not limited by the time.

There will be a program after dinner, visit Xiaojing Lake.

The so-called Xiaojing Lake is a small world outside the prescription. Hua Zhenxing is no stranger to this. He has been to the hidden kingdom of the gods on the outskirts of Feisuo Port.It was Ding Qi who brought him in at that time, helped him get the treasure of controlling the world, and taught him the secret method of Fangwai.

Fang Waimen put the Zongmen dojo here because the gate of Xiaojing Lake is here.Ding Qi and Xian Hao accompanied the two guests to the backyard of their small building. There was a moon gate on the left, which connected to the backyard of Elder Zhu's house next door.

The bamboo planted in the courtyard is paved with stone slabs, and the stone slab path turns a spoon-shaped bend, passing through the Moon Gate to Elder Zhu’s backyard gate, and there is a half-side pavilion in front of the backyard gate.

What is a half-side pavilion is half of a common four-corner pavilion.Facing two pillars, the cornices are connected to the backyard wall, and the backyard door is covered in the pavilion, which is invisible from the outside. Two tall plantains are planted in front of the pavilion.

Hua Zhenxing wondered: "There is a Taoist gate here, is it the gate of Xiaojing Lake?"

Xian Hao: "Director Hua can tell at a glance."

Under normal circumstances, opening this door will enter the mountains and forests outside.But when he entered the pavilion, Ding Qi opened the backyard door with his own hands. Outside the door was also a half-side pavilion symmetrical to the inside of the door. A four-screen screen was placed in the pavilion to block the view.

The four screens on this side actually have the effect of blocking spiritual consciousness, and the flowers engraved on the screen should be the landscape scenes of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Looking at the left and right sides, there are actually two lockers, just like the ones in bathing centers or gym locker rooms.Hua Zhenxing wondered again: "Do you still need to change clothes when entering and leaving Xiaojing Lake?"

Xian Hao smiled and said, "You two don't need it."

Walking around the screen, Hua Zhenxing and Manman were immediately stunned.They imagined the scene of Xiaojing Lake, but they did not expect such a magnificent beauty.

The setting sun is setting on the mountaintop in the distance. Judging from the position of the sun and the climate here, the location of Xiaojing Lake should be the same as that of the Nanju Mountain Scenic Area outside. There is even energy exchange, but it is like another world.

Hua Zhenxing subconsciously compared it with Yangyuan Valley, because there are lakes and mountains in Yangyuan Valley, but the difference between the two is quite obvious.

Yangyuan Valley is in the shape of a long and narrow olive. There are five large and small lakes in the valley, which are connected by water systems. In fact, it is the upper reaches of the Beiluo River outside the mountain. Its area is hundreds of square kilometers, which is actually quite large.

And Xiaojing Lake is much larger than Yangyuan Valley, and the overall environment is basin-shaped.

There is a mirror-like lake surrounded by green hills on all sides, and this time is full of sunshine.They stood in the middle of the mountain on the north bank of the lake, and with Hua Zhenxing's eyesight, they could see the steep and distant mountains on the other side of the lake, as well as the zigzag waterfall and rapids.

The Nanju Mountain outside is actually just a hilly area with a height of no more than 500 meters, while the mountains in Xiaojing Lake are much steeper and taller, and the highest peak is more than a kilometer by visual inspection.

In the northwest part of the lake, there are large and small islands, and the lush vegetation extends from the shore to the island group.Many bridges connect the islands that are close to each other, forming a garden in the lake that can be strolled.

Looking down at the feet again, there are stone steps leading to the lake shore, and a wooden plank road about two meters wide has been built along the right side of the lake shore.This plank road winds for almost three kilometers, leading to the group of islands connected by bridges.

At the end of the bridge connected to the island is the largest island in the lake or a mountain in the lake. The outline of the building can be seen faintly among the trees, just like a Qingxiu courtyard or a fairy cave.

Looking back at the mountain behind, the half pavilion where the portal is located is under a large platform on the mountainside, and on the platform is an antique manor.

It took a while for Manman to come back to her senses, and asked, "Did you build this place?"

Xian Hao: "We didn't build the villa in the back. It already existed when we came in. It was left by the predecessors and built in the Ming Dynasty. As for the plank road by the lake and the garden on the island, it was built by Fang Waimen. "

Everyone walked down the steps to the lake. There was a small pier connected to the plank road. There were several boats tied to the pier, and there was actually a row of shared bicycles and open-top tricycles on the open space.

It is clearly the scene of the ancient immortal family's cave, but this kind of thing suddenly appears, which is somewhat discordant.Ding Qi explained with a smile: "The place where Fang Waimen's disciples retreat and practice is on the island in the lake, called Youyuan.

It is more convenient to travel by bicycle, and the plank road is built for this purpose.As for these three-wheeled vehicles, they were used to pull goods, and they were used to transport various building materials some time ago. After all, there was no way to drive the trucks in.

Manman: "What about the ancient manor on the mountain?"

Ding Qi: "It's a place for meetings and sect ceremonies. People can live there on weekdays, but it's better to go to the garden for retreat and practice."

Manman: "I like that island too! There are many islands in the Bikong Lake over there, and ten of them are going to be built and developed. I think one of them can be referred to here."

Hua Zhenxing nodded and said: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to imagine such a wonderful scene. We have to learn from Teacher Ding and Fang Waimen."

Ding Qi smiled and said, "Director Hua is being modest...let's go over and have a look."

A few people did not ride bicycles, but walked along the wooden plank road by the lake. There were many exotic flowers and plants on the slopes of the lake. Hua Zhenxing discovered several elixir. Although not all of them could be used to process Chunrong Pill, each had its own magic. effect.

The scenery at the end of winter and the beginning of spring, this prescription outside world is different from the land of Shenyin.The Kingdom of Shenyin is a place of solitude, but here is a place full of vitality and a sense of tranquility.

A few people walked and chatted, Manman asked: "Is this the real sect dojo of Fang Waimen?"

But Ding Qi shook his head and said: "This place can be used as a place of retreat and cultivation, but it is not suitable as a so-called sect dojo. After all, people cannot be isolated from the world and live alone.

There are all kinds of secrets in the world, and it is a pleasure to be able to enter and exit calmly, but if you are trapped by yourself, you will lose your true meaning. "

Manman blinked her eyes and frowned slightly, as if she didn't quite understand.Ding Qi turned his head and asked again: "Director Hua, what's the difference between this place and Yangyuan Valley?"

Hua Zhenxing said with emotion: "It's okay to go in and out of this place to enjoy it, and it's okay to stop and cultivate, but there's no need to move to live in another world, otherwise you will become a different world and a different world."

Xian Hao sighed: "It looks like a fairyland cave, but it's not. It's the first time Director Hua came to visit, and he can tell it at a glance."

Hua Zhenxing said with a wry smile: "Mr. Xian's absurd praise. Although I have never been to Xiaojing Lake, Mr. Ding took me to the Kingdom of the Gods. How can I not understand the key points?"

Hua Zhenxing is quite knowledgeable now, and has an in-depth understanding of the heavens and blessed places of various sects in the world. They are mainly divided into two types, and the outer worlds such as Xiaojing Lake and Shenyin Kingdom do not belong to any one.

The first type is to create an independent cave formation, the most representative one is Zhengyisan Mountain, and Yangyuan Valley also belongs to this type.

Legend has it that only immortals can chisel and build a real cave-heaven barrier. According to records, Zhengyisan Mountain was built by the founder of Zhengyi. At that time, there were many immortals to help, and it took nearly a hundred years.

What Hua Zhenxing can be sure of is that in order to create the Cave-Heaven Barrier, one must have at least nine realms of cultivation.It is almost impossible to build a large-scale fairy cave today.

Yangyuan Valley is a coincidence. It uses a cave-heaven artifact—it is said to be a fixed-wind pan made by Emperor Qing in ancient times, which was renamed Fufeng Pan by Hua Zhenxing.The magical function of this artifact of the cave is precisely to carry mountains and rivers.

Otherwise, it would be useless even if there is a cave artifact, such as the demon-refining gourd given by Mr. Ding, it would not be able to build a dojo.

With the use of the supporting wind plate, the most difficult step of creating the cave barrier is avoided. However, up to now, the Yangyuangu cave has not really been built.

Although there are many monks in Raising Yuan Valley, ordinary monks can at most participate in assistance, and do not master the core means of creating a cave-heaven barrier. Even Hua Zhenxing can't do it. Only three old people can do it.

At present, this matter is mainly contributed by Mo Shangtong. Hua Zhenxing also asked him about the old man. It may take a few years to complete the complete construction of the Yangyuan Valley Cave.

After the construction of Yangyuangu Cave is completed, outsiders will not be able to enter it, nor will they be able to discover its existence.In fact, it has not disappeared, it is still in this world.

There are a lot of things that are counter-intuitive and go against the common sense of ordinary people.The Cave-Heaven Barrier is not only creating something out of nothing, but also something out of nothing.Only after Hua Zhenxing's cultivation had reached the seventh realm could he barely understand a single key point.

The valley is still the same valley, it looks the same, there is neither a big pit nor a black hole that disappears out of thin air, if someone walks through the valley to the opposite mountain peak, they will not notice anything abnormal.

Looking from the outside, he was walking in a straight line, but standing in the barrier of the cave, this person walked around the edge of the cave.This is not only aimed at human perception, any intuitive detection method, even satellite photography, has the same result.

The second kind of sect blessed place is actually the Lingshu Dojo, the most representative of which is the Tailao Spiritual Realm of the Zhongnan Sect.

The Tailao Spiritual Realm did not create a barrier to the sky, that is to say, it did not "disappear", but the entire dojo was equipped with magic circles, and outsiders could not see the traces of the monks' activities in the dojo.

If ordinary people enter the range of the magic circle, their consciousness will be disturbed and their direction will be lost, so they will not go in.

So did there happen to be a mistake?It's hard to say, old man Yang got acquainted with Fang Chuanchan when he stumbled into the Baihuashan Dojo by mistake.In short, most of the sect dojos in this world are, strictly speaking, blessed places of the spirit shu.

But neither the Shenyin Kingdom nor the Xiaojing Lake in front of me belong to the above two situations.It seems that Xiaojing Lake is closer to Xianjiadongtian, even more like the legendary Xianjiadongtian than places like Zhengyisan Mountain.

But there is a fundamental difference between it and Zhengyisan Mountain. It is not like a man-made, but a natural formation.And it doesn't exist in the world, it just has a door in and out, which is the only connection with the world.

There are several unique features of Fangwai World. For example, if the cultivation level is less than the second level, if you rush in and out, you may fall ill; The original stuff inside.

But the world's major sect dojos and cave heavens and blessed places do not have these characteristics.

Hua Zhenxing narrated his own experience with spiritual thoughts, Ding Qi nodded and asked again: "Then, in the opinion of Director Hua, how did such an outside world come about?"

According to Ding Qi, the small mirror lake in front of us has a total area of ​​more than 1000 square kilometers, which is not only far larger than Yangyuan Valley, Zhengyisan Mountain, Tailao Lingjing, and Bikong Lake, but also the entire Feisuogang Agricultural Reclamation Area, and even It is bigger than many small countries.

Its climate environment is similar to that of Nanju Mountain outside, but there are many species that have been extinct or have never been seen outside, including exotic flowers and plants and rare birds and beasts.

Hua Zhenxing said truthfully: "I don't know, and I am very puzzled. I just want to ask for advice."

Ding Qi: "The Xiaojing lake here seems to be not much different from the outside world, but I have witnessed a world outside the world that is very different. For example, there is a kingdom of beasts, and people will change into various beasts after entering. Forget the original identity.

Another example is Youqin Gaotai, where the two months are only equivalent to one day in this world... Traveling there is like witnessing a paradise. It feels like a dream, but it is a real experience. "

Hua Zhenxing and Manman were fascinated by what they heard, and Manman couldn't help exclaiming: "There is still such a place in the world!"

Xian Hao: "It's not in the world, that's why it's called Fang Wai."

Manman: "Why?"

Ding Qi: "I'm also puzzled by the origin of these secret realms. There is a grand elder in our outer sect, Mr. Zhuang, who mentioned a possibility."

Hua Zhenxing asked: "What's possible?"

Ding Qi said unhurriedly: "Mr. Zhuang told me that these outer worlds are not the cave-heaven enchantment deliberately created by the masters of the immortal family, but may be transformed by their bodies and spirits."

Hua Zhenxing was taken aback: "What did you say, what did you say?"

Ding Qi: "I know it's hard to understand, but everyone's body and spirit is a world, but some people are clear and others are chaotic. Doesn't Director Hua's body and spirit manifest into the kingdom you foresee?"

Hua Zhenxing quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, these are two different things. Those are my dreams and ideals."

Ding Qi smiled: "People have external desires, but also internal desires.

Form and deity are transformed into a world, neither Mr. Hua nor I have this realm.Aunt Zhuang's slander, I'm swearing at it here, and the two of you will just listen to it.

During this period of time, Director Hua had dinner appointments with monks from various sects in Kunlun, and he must have met a lot of people.There are various gains in practice, but what is the ultimate pursuit?

Longevity and long vision, free and easy, this is the answer of many people, but this answer is also what they heard.

If someone really did it, what would happen, would he ascend to immortality like the legend?Then after ascending to immortality, did he go to the legendary fairy world?

But where did the fairy world come from? Did it exist from the beginning?Is there a fairyland first and then a fairyland, or is there a fairyland first and then a fairyland?

If it is the former, then there must have been some people who became immortals but had no immortal world to go to.If it is the latter, there may be some people who become immortals but for various reasons, such as not getting guidance and not entering the immortal world.

I haven't reached that state, so I don't fully understand, what is the so-called long life and long vision?Elder Zhuang mentioned a possibility, that is, the body and spirit self-transform into the heaven and the earth, and the ancients also said "self-transformation".

This is not necessarily the right way, but it is also an attempt, an attempt we do not yet understand.What kind of world such a person hopes to create, the body and spirit will manifest in this way.

As for the scale of manifestation, whether it can be fully fulfilled depends on the realm of cultivation.For example, if this Xiaojing lake has such a history, it can also be seen that the fairy family was in the realm of form and spirit. "

Hua Zhenxing acted like he was listening to a heavenly scripture, and it took him a long time to come to his senses: "This is just a hypothesis, assuming this is possible, Xiaojing Lake is indeed a good place, so what about the Kingdom of the Gods?

The Kingdom of Shenying is a desolate and dead place. There were indigenous tribes migrating into the area 500 years ago, and they were all extinct about 50 years ago. It is like a huge ruins and tombs. "

Ding Qi shook his head and said: "This is what you saw today, it was not the case at the beginning. How did the priest of the Zhiwen tribe control the treasure of controlling the world 500 years ago? There must be a family inheritance.

They were willing to move in with their clan, it must have been a good place at that time, at least it was much better than the harsh living environment outside, it was a paradise for the shelter tribe, at least they thought so..."

According to Ding Qi's understanding, the Fangwai secret realm transformed by form and spirit is not static.If there is a tribe living in it, it will affect the environment and break one equilibrium into another.

The world is still the same world, but it may not be suitable for the tribe to survive, and they will become extinct in the process of change.There are many reasons for tribal extinction, such as epidemics, population decline, genetic degradation, and so on.

That's why Ding Qi said when he first came in that Fangwai World is not suitable for a sect dojo, nor is it a paradise in the usual sense.If anyone escapes from the world, their world is only so big.

Manman suddenly interjected: "That tribe, even if they don't hide in the God's Hidden Kingdom, they may become extinct. There are many extinct tribes in the Black Desolation Continent, and our Sea God Clan is almost extinct."

Ding Qi nodded: "That's true! In the outer world I experienced, there are also many tribes living in it. Not only have they not become extinct, but they are still alive and well."

Hua Zhenxing: "We'll discuss these later, let's talk about the origin of Fang's world first, does Teacher Ding think there is any other possibility?"

Ding Qi: "There is another possibility. I also heard from Mr. Zhuang. It may not necessarily be the manifestation of a fairy family who has not made it to the fairy world, but it may also be a result of the failure of the Litian punishment."

Hua Zhenxing: "What do you mean?"

Ding Qi: "You don't know?"

Hua Zhenxing: "I really don't know."

Ding Qi: "Then I don't want to say more, but there is a calamity in practice, Director Hua must be clear about it. In the initial stage, the Nourishing Technique you created has reduced the influence of the calamity through various methods, and can help students pass the test successfully. , but it is not doomed."

Hua Zhenxing: "Yes."

Ding Qi: "Then at the end of the practice in the world, the punishment of heaven will finally be ushered in. I don't know much about punishment of heaven, but it's hard to get over it anyway. If the calamity fails, the practice of the whole life will be empty.

There are many situations in which monks fail.There is such a situation, the monks know that it is difficult to overcome the catastrophe, and the body and spirit are about to be destroyed, so they turn the body and spirit into a world, so as not to completely disappear.

He can still pass on this world to future generations, otherwise, how did the ancestors of that tribe in the Kingdom of Gods Hidden get the inheritance of the bone staff and the account opening door?How did the legend about the hidden kingdom of the gods come about? "

Manman replied: "The legend is the guidance of the gods. There is a heaven created by the gods."

Ding Qi spread his hands: "This is right."

Hua Zhenxing scratched his forehead and said, "You introduced another possibility, but I think the second possibility is more important."

Ding Qi: "The losers of the Litian punishment can do it, so the successful people of the Litian punishment can do it even more. It depends on whether they will do that. These two possibilities are actually a situation, both of which are created by the immortals. change.

Mr. Zhuang's speculation is not without basis.I was able to find the world outside Fang, all of which have the treasure of controlling the world, and all the treasures of controlling the world are special magic weapons.

I have also consulted Master Bai Shaoliu on this question.

Zhuangzhu Bai couldn't give a definite answer, but he also told me that there are indeed many situations in which Litian Xing fails.He introduced another situation, that is how the so-called divine stone came about, and it may be related to the secret technique practiced by the ancient magicians. "
