Chapter 665 Suffering
If you want to do something well, you must first have a driving force. The so-called driving force is why you want to do it. If the driving force is unclear or insufficient, it will be difficult to do it well.
What Wu Zhongyuan is struggling with at this time is why he should stay here to protect the enemy's woman. Although it is not yet completely certain that Xinyue Fox is the woman of God King Bai Mu, it is very likely. Not long ago, the human race just had a fight with the god race. After the bloody battle, the relationship between the two clans has completely deteriorated. Even if they help Bai Mu protect Xinyue Fox, they will not be able to turn enemies into friends with Bai Mu. It is even less possible for the human race and the gods to join forces to fight against the other four.
Does it really make sense to stay here to protect Xinyue Fox?
After thinking hard for a long time, Wu Zhongyuan finally decided to fulfill his promise. He got the Nine-leaf Green Lotus and Longevity Pearl from the old man in black that day, and promised to protect and take care of Xinyue Fox on its behalf. He must do what he promised. This is the driving force.
Taking a step back, even if Bai Mu leads a crowd to massacre everyone in the human race in the future, he must fulfill his promise to the old man in black at this time. He protects Xinyue Fox not because Bai Mu appreciates it, but because he once promised to the old man in black. old man.
Near noon, Xinyuehu left the cliff of Dongshan and returned to the stone room to start playing the piano. Wu Zhongyuan knew that Xinyuehu would cry and laugh again after the sound of the piano stopped. When the sound of the piano stopped, he temporarily blocked his hearing with spiritual energy.
While Xinyuehu was playing the piano, Wu Zhongyuan was thinking about another question. After the five seals disappeared, he would meet the God King Bai Mu sooner or later. Can he temporarily take Xinyuehu away from Xinyue Island to meet Bai Mu later? Then return the Xinyue Fox to him.
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally gave up the idea. He was not sure whether taking Xinyue Fox out of Xinyue Island would have an unknown impact on her. To be on the safe side, it was better to strictly follow the instructions given by the old man in black when he was still alive and make any changes without authorization. Unknown variables are likely to arise. You must not change things you promise to others without authorization. You must do what you promise.
After Xinyuehu stopped playing the piano, Wu Zhongyuan came to the dilapidated pavilion above the stone chamber where Xinyuehu was. There was a huge gong hanging in one of the pavilions. When the old man in black was alive, he once said that once the gong was struck, When the woman in white hears the sound of the gong, she will emit spiritual energy to cover the entire island. Then the black turtle will sink under the weight, sinking the island to the bottom of the sea. An hour later, the black turtle will resurface.
Since the round trip time has to be calculated, one hour can only be halved, which means that the safe time for him to leave the island is only half an hour. During this period, Xinyue Fox will emit spiritual energy to cover Xinyue Island. With a high level of spiritual cultivation, the aura barrier she has set up cannot be invaded by the demon clan.
Just as he picked up the gong hammer, Wu Zhongyuan suddenly remembered something. He took off the gong, took the gong hammer with him into the air, and struck the gong after being a hundred feet above the ground.
The reason why he didn't beat the gong in the attic was because if Xinyuehu heard the sound of the gong, he would immediately extend his spiritual energy and set up a spiritual energy barrier.
It will cover him in the spiritual energy barrier and prevent him from getting out.
The gong sounded, but Xinyuehu didn't react at all.
After waiting for a while but no spiritual energy barrier appeared, Wu Zhongyuan lowered his height again, got closer to Xinyue Fox, and then struck the gong again.
No, Xinyuehu still didn't respond.
I tried again, but it still didn't work. In desperation, he had to hang the gong back to its original position. After knocking it again, the spiritual energy barrier finally appeared. The semicircular spiritual energy barrier completely covered Xinyue Island, and then the island began to sink rapidly.
Since Xinyue Fox had set up a spiritual energy barrier in an instant, Wu Zhongyuan had no time to run outside the barrier. He could only leave the attic and go to the top of the mountain, watching the huge Xinyue Island sink rapidly.
In less than three minutes, Xinyue Island sank underwater. The aura barrier can block the sea water. Being there is like being in the underwater world of Ocean Park. The difference is that the underwater world in Ocean Park is fully illuminated by artificial equipment. , and at this time, the surroundings were only pitch black. The so-called darkness does not mean that things cannot be seen clearly. People with spiritual energy cultivation do not mean that they cannot see the darkness, but they can see what is in the darkness. At this time, Wu Zhongyuan also What I could see in the water was actually nothing very strange, just some ocean fish, none very big and not many in number.
After the giant turtle completely sank to the bottom of the sea, the sand on the bottom of the sea splashed under pressure and blocked the line of sight. After a long time, the sand settled again. At this time, you can see some white corals and some shellfish on the bottom of the sea, not far from the island. There is also a sunken area with white bubbles coming out of it. This depression may be the outlet of a submarine volcano or a geothermal outlet. The white bubbles emitted must be the main component of the poisonous fog around Xinyue Island.
There is a saying that there is no pain without comparison. In fact, this sentence can also be said the other way around. Without comparison, there is no happiness. Living in the dim environment of the seabed, Wu Zhongyuan began to be glad that he was not trapped underwater and was not in contact with the bright sunshine outside. In comparison, this dark and closed environment is really depressing.
An hour later, the spiritual energy barrier began to loosen, and the island floated up. After a while, it emerged from the water again and saw the sun again.
Wu Zhongyuan left the top of the mountain and came to the mountainside area. He picked a few fruits from one of the fruit trees and chewed them slowly. He felt very depressed and anxious. It is difficult to describe this mood in words. He was a little angry, but more importantly There is still nothing to be done about it.
Wu Zhongyuan remained in this mood for the next few days. He tried to calm down and racked his brains to think about how to send the message out. Most of the ideas were rejected by himself after careful consideration, and only a few of them were paid for. Various implementations were carried out, but the results of the attempts made him more and more anxious. No, he tried every method, but he could not establish contact with his followers.
Now there is only one last option left, which is to wait and wait for seabirds to land on the island to rest, and then try to capture and use the seabirds to deliver messages.
The essence of deliberation and experimentation are the same. They are both to test whether a certain approach is correct. The biggest difference between deliberation and attempt is that there is no price to pay for deliberation, while there is a price to pay for trying. If it fails, A lot of energy and material resources will be wasted.
Wu Zhongyuan has been deliberating on some details in the past few days, mainly the details of capturing and using seabirds. He cannot use his seven-orificed psychic ability to capture one when he encounters one. He has to wait patiently until the seabirds swarm on the island before capturing one. The process of capture You also need to be as discreet as possible to avoid being discovered by the demons snooping around you.
With the lessons learned from the past, he no longer dares to underestimate the demons. If a seabird flies to the island and he eagerly captures it and uses it to deliver messages, he will probably be noticed and intercepted by the demons. This is no ordinary messenger bird. It's that the followers he captured with his seven-aperture psychic ability paid a too high price and must not be hunted down by the enemy.
The first few days were the most uncomfortable. I was anxious and anxious, racking my brains and trying to think of ways to convey information to the outside world.
When you have thought of all the options and tried them all, you will become completely discouraged and disappointed.
Discouragement and disappointment are actually a kind of relief. They are of the same nature as mourning and despairing. It is not about escaping from reality and laziness, but about accepting reality and facing it head-on.
Accepting the reality does not mean that you will no longer be anxious. Whether a person can be alone depends on two aspects. One is personality. Some people are born to be lively and like to make friends. This kind of person allows him to be alone for a long time. It was simply torture. The second is state. If there are a lot of things waiting to be dealt with, no matter how quiet a person is, they won’t be able to stay.
Wu Zhongyuan is the latter. It is at a critical moment when the human race is in desperate need of help. As a coach, he is dragged here. How can he not be anxious and worried?
Worry makes me angry every day, but it is not just worrying that makes me angry every day. In fact, Wu Zhongyuan has been practicing Qi hard since the seventh day. At this time, he is still in the Jade Xu cultivation level. He only needs to advance to one more level to become a Tailing, a demon. Then there is no way to invade the spiritual energy barrier he put up.
Even though there is only one step between Shanngling and Yuxu, they are worlds apart. Taixu, Shangxu, and Yuxu are all Xu. Tai Ling, Shang Ling, and Yu Ling are all spirits. Then there are Taiyuan, Shangyuan and Yuyuan.
The difference between "Xu", "Ling" and "Yuan" makes a difference. Yuxu's promotion to Tailing is not an increase in quantity, but a qualitative leap. Yuxu is equal to the earthly immortal in later generations, while Tailing is equal to the heavenly immortal in later generations. If there is no more turbid air in the body, one can gain immortality.
In fact, practicing Qi is not Wu Zhongyuan’s only choice. Although he has kept the Tianzhuan Manual in mind, he has never taken the time to deduce the details. The Tianzhuan Manual is the general outline of all methods and is all-encompassing. It is more meaningful to study the Tianzhuan Manual than to practice Qi. Wu Zhongyuan naturally knows this. The reason why he retreats to the next best thing is because his current state of mind is not suitable for studying the Tianzhuan Book. There is not a day when he is not angry, and there is not a moment when he is not worried. How can he calm down and study the mysterious texts? Tianzhuan Book.
The first seven days of being dragged here were the most difficult seven days for Wu Zhongyuan. After a month, although he was occasionally annoyed and anxious, he became a little calmer. There are actually rules for people to accept reality. Seven days, one month, three The month is divided into three major stages. No matter what negative things happen, the first seven days are the most uncomfortable. After seven days, it will be slightly better. After one month, it will become calmer. After three months, it will be completely accepted.
Take the breakup of a man and a woman as an example. The first seven days are full of tangles and worries. After a month, you will gradually get used to it, and after three months, you will basically feel at ease. It is not that you have forgotten it, but that the thing you are most worried about has probably happened. The most worrying thing is that the other person will have a new beginning. In fact, the men and women who are in great pain after breaking up are not because they love each other much, but because they don't want to be possessed by others.
Every day on the island was a torment for Wu Zhongyuan, but when he looked back after a period of time, he felt that time passed very quickly. It stands to reason that he would gradually calm down as time went by, but in fact it was just the opposite. , two months later, he became more eager and anxious every day. June 6th was coming soon, and no one except him knew the whereabouts of Bigui Chenxiang...
