Talk about the world of mortals in detail

When the large group of troops came, they marched in a hurry in order to catch them by surprise, but when they returned, it was easier.

Today, we did not seek benefits in several villages, and it was not because the officers and soldiers really found out about their conscience.

On the one hand, it is because there are new officials taking office.

On the other hand, it was also because I suffered some shocks in the bandit's den.

Moreover, although part of the captured gold and silver needed to be guarded, the battalion of soldiers and horses he brought with him and the generals also received some benefits.

Naturally, the newly appointed captain also knows some ways of serving his subordinates, and the combination of kindness and power can help to win people's hearts quickly.

Many soldiers are happier now. After all, they don't have to fight hard to get the benefits.

But the expression of the newly appointed captain showed no joy or anger. From time to time, his eyes would look at the cage carriage covered by a tarpaulin.

These carriages were originally prepared for trophies and captured bandits, but now, in addition to the things found in the village, there were also two corpses and some boxed bones.

A military attache patted his horse gently and came to the captain's side.

"Sir, why should we take these things away?"

The captain looked at him and said.

"If the superiors ask us for proof that we want to suppress bandits, how can we provide them? Capture some mountain people and farmers and cut off their heads to make up for it? Don't worry, the credit for suppressing bandits is indispensable."

——

Yi Shuyuan originally planned to leave that day, but the officers and soldiers blocked the village for most of the day, and he could not leave.

Although it is completely possible to cast a spell and run away, if the villagers find that Mr. Shu has disappeared as soon as the officers and soldiers come to tell him, will they think that Yi Shuyuan is a bandit?

Even if Yi Shuyuan didn't get involved with the bandits, he still had money to lose. Although he didn't seek any fame or fortune, he wouldn't let the villagers misunderstand him and criticize him behind his back.

As soon as the officers and soldiers left, it would not be long before dark, and it was not suitable for normal people to travel alone at this time.

So it wasn't until early the next morning that Yi Shuyuan said goodbye to Elder Li and his wife.

The old village leader sent Yi Shuyuan to the entrance of the village, but still did not forget to give him more advice.

"Mr. Yi, why don't you stay a little longer to see if there are really no more bandits? If there are cars and horses passing by after a while, we can hitch a ride!"

"Yes, Third Uncle is right. You, a scholar, are traveling on two legs. How can you go out of the mountain in the dark?"

A villager nearby also said the same thing, and the people nearby cheered.

"I mean, it's better to stay a little longer and tell us a few more paragraphs!"

"Yeah!"

Yi Shuyuan patted his leg and smiled.

"Don't look down on me. Although I am a scholar, I am also a wanderer. I can walk around the world on two legs, not to mention mountain roads!"

After saying this, Yi Shuyuan bowed his hands towards the people watching him off and watching the excitement at the entrance of the village.

"Thank you all for being so accommodating these past two days, and thank you for the hospitality. I'll take my leave now!"

I tried to persuade him, but the villagers didn't say anything more even if they were not relatives.

"Alas!" "Good go, sir!"

"If you have a chance to pass by our place, why don't you tell me a few paragraphs?"

Yi Shuyuan said "I will definitely", and after the villagers saluted each other again, they turned and walked towards the dirt road outside the village.

When passing by the small temple, Yi Shuyuan found that someone was paying tribute.

An old woman knelt in front of the small temple and kept praying and thanking her.

"Thank you to the mountain god Tu Tu for your blessing. We got rid of the bandits. Thank you to the mountain god Tu Tu for your blessing."

Yi Shuyuan bent down and took a look. Someone had put a new head on top of the clay sculpture.

Hui Mian poked his head at Yi Shuyuan's collar and whispered unhappily.

"What's going on in Guanshan God's Land? There are really mountain bandits, and they probably rely on officers and soldiers!"

Yi Shuyuan didn't say anything, just took a look and left.

After Yi Shuyuan had gone far away, the old man returned home, but as soon as he entered the yard, his wife pulled him into the house where Yi Shuyuan had stayed.

"Old man, look, I was there when I was cleaning up the room!"

Looking in the direction of his wife's finger, the old lieutenant immediately saw a piece of paper on the bed and a few grains of silver pressed on it.

As the head of the village, the old man was literate. He picked up the paper and saw that it was the letter left by Yi Shuyuan.

"Thank you for taking me in, I'm very grateful. A few coins are just a small amount of money, but it's not a sign of respect. Don't think about it!"

"this"

The old village leader thought for a moment and ran to the entrance of the village to take a look, but there was Yi Shuyuan's shadow far away on the road.

On the mountain road, Hui Mian had climbed onto Yi Shuyuan's shoulders and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Sir, you just grabbed a handful of broken silver and now you're giving them these. Why don't you take all the silver and distribute it to the villagers?"

"People talk too much, and when the officers and soldiers ask questions, it will cause trouble. It would be bad if it is taken as evidence of banditry."

It's good now. The officers and soldiers raided the den of thieves, and they can share some benefits with their merits, so they won't embarrass the villagers.

——

Half a day later, Yi Shuyuan, who had been moving at a normal speed, stopped at the foot of a relatively high mountain.

Yi Shuyuan then jumped lightly and rode a breeze to the top of the mountain.

A considerable area of ​​the mountainous area here is composed of gently sloping forests that are not steep, and where Yi Shuyuan is at this moment is considered a rare and dangerous peak.

"That's it."

Hui Mian jumped off Yi Shuyuan.

"Sir, I will protect you!"

Yi Shuyuan chuckled.

"Okay, don't run away when you feel bored!"

After saying that, Yi Shuyuan sat down cross-legged on the top of the mountain. Then he raised his sleeves and the wine gourd flew out of it and landed in front of him.

The next moment, Yi Shuyuan closed his eyes.

In Hui Mian's eyes, Yi Shuyuan in front of him actually disappeared.

This startled Hui Mian, and he quickly took a few steps closer before finally feeling Yi Shuyuan's presence again. Then his eyes changed from blurry to clear, and he saw Mr. Yi Shuyuan again.

Hui Mian also followed Yi Shuyuan's example and sat down, not daring to run around casually.

The spiritual wind blows in the mountains, and the fire of the sky spreads across the earth.

At this moment, Yi Shuyuan was in a state of inseparability, which was both cultivation and enlightenment.

The spiritual energy is like the tide of existence and non-existence, and the light of the sun, moon and stars is like fire and water.

Yi Shuyuan not only gathered the vitality of heaven and earth, but also did not demand too much, maintaining this unique and agile state of practice.

According to the "Five Elements Wonderful Art", the method of controlling the five elements is just incidental to the cultivation of immortality.

If the five elements are true, then the method of controlling the five elements will also come naturally.

Yi Shuyuan deeply agreed, so in his eyes, "Five Elements Miaoshu" not only briefly talks about the five elements' control methods, but also reversibly infers the internal refining of the five elements.

The book says that the five elements are mutually reinforcing, mutually restraining and complementary, and the internal practice of the five elements also requires the perfection of each one. Only in this way can one be considered a "real person" if the five elements are complete.

Yi Shuyuan had been relentless in his previous practice, and he also had considerable experience in understanding the Five Elements.

But after all, Yi Shuyuan's cultivation is still short, and his understanding of the Five Elements cannot be achieved overnight.

Hui Mian also has great experience in water control, which can be regarded as guidance for Yi Shuyuan.

After gaining additional understanding of the way of observing water in "The Wonderful Art of Five Elements", Yi Shuyuan has gained a third-level understanding of the wonders of water movement.

Yi Shuyuan is good at controlling the wind. During the calamity of entering the Tao, he experienced the thunder of Jingzhe. Thunder belongs to wood, and the thunder of Fu Chi Jade belongs to wood. Yi Shuyuan also has a deep understanding of the true meaning of the movement of wood.

Yujin Yutu is a gift from the God of Kuonan Mountain.

Especially earth control. Although Yi Shuyuan has never used the method of earth control, he can understand its true meaning through synesthesia.

But Yujin Yi Shuyuan is always a bit unlucky, and fire control is the weakest among his five elements.

This may have something to do with Yi Shuyuan's own character.

While slaying the cat demon, Yi Shuyuan learned a bit about the way to control gold, and he also understood a bit of the restless fire control spirit while refining wine.

His own shortcomings have been made up for, and now Yi Shuyuan has the confidence to refine the Five Elements internally.

As Yi Shuyuan's practice deepened and deepened, his mind continued to expand, and he could not tell the difference between the inner scene in his mind and the outside world in a trance.

In the interior scene, Yi Shuyuan is sitting cross-legged next to the alchemy furnace on the top of the mountain.

In the outer world, there is a wine gourd next to where Yi Shuyuan is sitting cross-legged. Its shape is very similar to the alchemy furnace.

The transformation of the wine gourd into an alchemy furnace was originally Yi Shuyuan's idea of ​​blessing his soul before, but at this moment, it has become an internal and external echo of Taoism and nature.

You can also use the power of heaven and earth to break through your own shackles!

One day, Hui Mian woke up from practice. He looked to one side and saw that what was in front of his husband was not a wine gourd, but a large alchemy furnace.

Um?

Hui Mian rubbed his eyes vigorously with his paws. When he looked again, the wine gourd in front of Yi Shuyuan was still there.

Hui Mian stood there in a daze, opening and closing his eyes for a while, unable to figure out whether it was an illusion.

——

The days in the mountains passed day by day, and when Hui Mian couldn't sit still, he would go out for a walk in the mountains.

Watching the wild fruits in the mountains ripening, watching the wild geese flying across the sky, watching the grass and trees in the mountains gradually wither and turn yellow, watching the fallen leaves covered with frost, and watching the snowflakes falling.

Although Yi Shuyuan is still cultivating, he is also sympathetic to all things and "sees" it all just like Hui Mian.

But in terms of practice, even though he has understood the fundamental principles of the Five Elements, he is still not quite ready. However, Yi Shuyuan is not in a hurry.

Until the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month of that year.

Yi Shuyuan only felt that at this moment, the energy between the virtual and the real inside and outside the heaven and earth converged.

The five elements of energy between the heaven and the earth are still coming to the dynasty, and they are transformed into new meanings in the endless life. Although it is still the twelfth lunar month, the spirit of the new spring has arrived.

Yi Shuyuan smiled, but his heart was shaken the next moment.

The five elements were resurrected in the outer world, but Yi Shuyuan only felt that in his inner world, the breath of the five elements seemed to be reversed internally and externally, and began to dry up.

At this moment, Yi Shuyuan understood that he had really been right!

At the beginning of spring, the energy of the five elements will continue here after passing by!

At the end of the tribulation, the inner and outer heaven and earth interact to form the yin and yang of the virtual and the real. The outer heaven and earth are revived, but the opposite is true for the inner heaven and earth. The five elements are ineffective, and what has gone away will not continue.

Hui Mian, who was playing in the snow on other hills, was suddenly startled. He looked up at the hill where Yi Shuyuan was, and felt a terrifying aura surrounding it.

But when he looked carefully, Hui Mian couldn't feel anything.

But at this moment, Hui Mian felt a strong uneasiness in his heart, knowing that it was no illusion!

gentlemen!

Although he was afraid in his heart, Hui Mian still ran towards the top of the mountain quickly.

When Hui Mian flew to the top of the mountain, he found that Yi Shuyuan's invisible form had been broken, and his body was directly exposed to the wind and snow.

What's even more frightening is that Yi Shuyuan's skin is no longer smooth at this moment, and even his hair is quickly losing its luster.

"gentlemen--"

Hui Mian screamed and rushed to Yi Shuyuan's side without caring about disturbing him. Could it be that Mr. Yi Shuyuan has gone crazy?

But before Hui Mian could rush to Yi Shuyuan's side, he felt like he was struck by thunder just a foot away.

"Boom~"

A burst of gray light flashed, and Hui Mian flew backwards at a faster speed than when he came in, falling into the valley in the distance.

Yi Shuyuan is indeed in crisis now. He is struggling to control himself and use his magic power to prevent himself from completely drying up.

But all this seemed to be in vain, Yi Shuyuan could even feel the constant loss of his life force, flowing into the outside world.

It's like being tortured by Ling Chi, feeling the pain soberly, and watching yourself die soberly!

Fear and unwillingness turned into struggle, but they could not stop themselves from falling deeper and deeper.

However, due to internal and external interactions, Yi Shuyuan's perception of the outside world has not ceased.

Hui Mian's scream suddenly startled Yi Shuyuan and made him wake up from his struggle.

Am I going to die?

Taking advantage of the fusion of heaven and earth to realize one's own fate, and then resisting heaven and earth with one's own meager strength, one is indeed seeking death!

The song of the Transformation of Heaven and Earth is constantly emerging in my mind at this moment.

Yi Shuyuan's mind brightened.

Yin and yang can restrain each other, but they can also create yin and yang. When the internal and external are blended, the virtual and the real can be distinguished, or the virtual and the real cannot be distinguished.

Isn't the end of the derivation of the changes in Tiangang and Earth just the transformation of the universe into reality and reality?

Look at the heaven and the earth and realize fate!

I just don’t understand where it came from and how it came to be reborn?

Spring has come to the earth, and the heaven and earth have already passed the winter. But I only feel the nature of heaven and earth in my heart, but I am not old?

Yi Shuyuan seemed to have given up the fight, and his energy drained away at a faster speed, becoming thin, dry, and gray-haired.

The breath of death gradually approached, and the haggard Yi Shuyuan opened his eyes.

The world in front of you is no longer the original world, and the gourd in front of you has directly turned into an alchemy furnace.

Although he had lost all his vitality and was already on his deathbed, the fire in the furnace did not go out because of the lack of spiritual energy in his body. Instead, it became more and more fierce.

"The energy of the five elements will continue here as it goes!"

The sound came from Yi Shuyuan's mouth, as deep and muddy as thunder.

"Rumble, rumble."

A thunderous sound spread across the mountains and fields.

And the alchemy furnace is also shaking constantly. At this moment, from virtual to real, from small to large, endless vitality gradually emerges from the surroundings, regardless of internal and external heaven and earth.

At this moment, Yi Shuyuan's withered tree is in full bloom!
