The starry sky is like a huge curtain covering the sky, overlooking the joys and sorrows of the world as it has for countless years in the past, and it will continue to look down like this in the future until the end of heaven, earth or the human world.

Under this shocking spectacle, dynasties changed, years passed, countless lives came and went, and countless tragedies and comedies were performed. Regardless of gains and losses, they all ended in ashes.

Happiness, anger, sorrow and fear will disappear with the wind, and the body will return to nature. After the world is over, everything will be empty. What is left as an individual person?

If anything is considered on the scale of time and given meaning by the human world, whether it is the so-called ideal or pursuit, it will be washed away and become worthless.

Personal happiness and anger, success or failure in the world, honor and disgrace are nothing better than this.

It is really sad and infuriating that life is so fragile and insignificant.

But the difference between human beings and other creatures is that humans have a heart for progress. With a little inspiration given by nature, they can experience the unchanging way amidst all changes and glimpse the eternity that only immortals can occupy.

Throughout the ages, countless transcendent figures with superhuman wisdom and character have groped this difficult road.

And those who take this path, without exception, are those who can endure and even enjoy loneliness.

Lu Zhen, who was walking alone in the deserted mountains, was such a seeker who enjoyed solitude.

His vision was out of focus, but it felt like walking on smooth ground on the dark and rugged road.

More than ten years ago, when he opened his eyes, he faced a strange world.

Between two paradoxical worlds is the distance between closing one's eyes and opening one's eyes, and also the distance between death and life.

The great terror between life and death left an indelible impression on his consciousness.

Lu Zhen didn't know what caused him to live here again, but since he opened his eyes, it was difficult for everything in the world to leave a trace in his heart.

After coming into contact with Lianqi, I decided to pursue the ultimate mystery of Tao in this life and break through the mystery of immortality, just like the countless predecessors who groped on this road and either gained something or gained nothing.

Apart from that, there are few things that can arouse his interest.

Even without any system or golden fingers, he was not discouraged at all and just focused on practicing Qi.

For the past twenty years, his life has been nothing but Qi training and cultivation.

It wasn't until a familiar name and a familiar plot appeared that he walked out of the Lu family and began to reveal his achievements in Qi training over the years. If no one knew that he had actually mastered the Splitting Air Palm to great perfection.

Barren mountains, streams, and forests all passed him by.

When he walked through the barren mountains, the weeds were hanging low and the wind was howling.

When walking through the creek, the water is gurgling, jumping, and sparkling lively.

When walking through the forest, the chirping of insects is endless, which is sad and sweet.

The footsteps are silent. Even if he steps next to the chirping insects, he will not disturb the chirping insects. Lu Zhen seems to be integrated with this harmonious nature, and there is no difference.

Between this vast world, he felt an unfettered freedom and an indescribable openness in his heart.

It's like the world and the universe are all in his mind, and even himself is melted into the natural sounds of insects and wind.

Unspeakable joy filled his heart, which seemed to be joy for the beauty of life and joy for the ubiquitous beauty.

Every cell in the body felt his joy and became more active than usual.

Countless incredible thoughts flashed through his mind, creating amazing sparks between his nerves. Every seemingly feasible inspiration would make Lu Zhen's joy even greater.

The Qi in the dantian becomes more and more lively without the guidance of consciousness. Like the stream, it flows continuously between the Ren and Du meridians, changing every moment.

Everyone in the Lu family knew that Lu Zhen liked to be in a daze, but no one knew that when Lu Zhen was in a daze, he was actually practicing.

Because he does not need to have his five hearts pointing to the sky, nor does he need to concentrate and calm down, he only needs to turn his thoughts from external objects back inward, focus on himself, and enter a selfless state of introspection, and the Qi in the body will automatically

Operation.

From this point of view, as long as he can get rid of external interference, he can enter the state of cultivation no matter where he is or at any time.

Especially after he developed the ability to walk in a daze, he spent more time immersed in cultivation every day.

But in the eyes of others, Lu Zhen is just more taciturn and prefers to be in a daze. Almost no one can feel the joy of thinking that he can feel in this daze.

After enjoying himself in this loneliness for so many years, Lu Zhen has become accustomed to closing himself in his own consciousness and enjoying the fun he feels alone.

In the dark night, there is no concept of time.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lu Zhen stopped and lay back on a cold, smooth boulder. His blank eyes looked at the spectacular starry sky from an endless distance, and there seemed to be countless stars brewing inside.

His eyes showed that his mind had not yet returned, and all his actions were just reactions from his body, almost subconscious reactions.

For example, he should eat when he is hungry, drink water when he is thirsty, and rest when he is tired... Even if his mind is not paying attention to the changes in his body, he can take corresponding measures based on these feelings.

After finishing the steamed buns in the plastic bag in a daze, Lu Zhen's eyes gradually regained their clarity. He glanced back, then jumped off the stone and disappeared into the small woods next to the big stone.

More than ten minutes later, a strange-looking old man first appeared not far from the stone.

The old man has a hunched back, a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and a short and thin body. He looks like a monkey. He walks almost on all fours, breathing in from the ground constantly with his nose, and he looks like a hound chasing prey.

Behind the old man were two middle-aged men, one fat and one thin.

Both of them have bright eyes, which are different from ordinary people. They are obviously accomplished masters of Qi.

"Close! Close! Even closer..." The old man murmured to himself, sniffing the smell on the ground intently, and gradually approached the stone.

The thin middle-aged man sneered: "Mr. He, you said before it was dark that the boy was not far away."

The old man turned back and glared dissatisfied: "What do you know? Do you know how difficult it is to track that kid?"

"Generally speaking, wherever living creatures pass by, whether they are animals or people, they will leave a smell. In our dialect, it is called 'smell'."

"I call the smell within half a day hot smell, and the longer smell is called cold smell. The hound chasing the prey just smells the smell and runs away. But this kid doesn't know how to do it. Along the way, the smell left behind is much lower than the ordinary smell.

People."

"Let's put it this way, if you step on one foot and the scent left behind is a hundred, then he may leave only one scent. That's why so many hounds from your Wang family have strayed off the road. If it weren't for me... I would definitely not be wrong this time.

This kid has definitely rested on this rock!"

The old man screamed strangely, put his nose to the ground, and excitedly circled around the stone: "This kid must have rested here. Look, this is where he lay!"

He locked on a small area on the stone and sniffed it carefully several times. The old man's face showed an expression of obsession: "Yes, it is here! It has this shape, and the boy must be lying here to rest!"

"Ah! This kid is lying here with his back stretched out, and there is still the smell of steamed buns... It's so relaxing. I thought this kid wouldn't rest, so I tracked him for so long, and my waist is almost broken..." <

/p>

The old man was lying on the stone, stroking the stone carefully with both hands, with an enthusiastic expression, as if he was stroking some priceless treasure, which made the two middle-aged men feel a little bit toothless.

The two looked at each other, and the obese middle-aged man took out his mobile phone and quickly sent a short message, and then said to the old man on the stone: "Mr. He, I have sent out a notice, and the follow-up personnel will arrive in less than half an hour.

, we..."

"No!" The old man jumped up from the stone and said excitedly, "How can this be possible?! That kid has only been away for a few minutes and is about to catch up, why do you have to wait? I discovered him first, can he still do it?

Is it okay to let others take the credit?"

Fatty comforted him: "Mr. He, no one can take the credit for discovering this boy's traces. I, the Wang family, will not break their promise. I heard that this boy has some skills, but so many people in the Lu family have not caught him.

If we catch up with him, we won't be sure to capture him."

The old man snorted coldly: "What kind of skills does a boy who is less than twenty years old have? The Lu family must have let that boy go on purpose. They only took action to give an explanation to your Wang family, and then they said how powerful the boy was.

I’m scaring you, do you believe it?”

Seeing that the two people were moving, the old man quickly said: "Is it the same thing to just find a trace and catch the kid? Don't forget what your family leader Wang Ai said, don't you want that benefit?"
p>

"That kid definitely didn't notice that we were catching up, and he was walking in no hurry. As long as we catch up, we'll probably catch that kid directly!"
