However, you can occasionally see some incomplete Taoist temples and ruins. These Taoist temple ruins are probably left long ago, and most of them are now uninhabited.
The first day into the mountains.
The two of them only walked a third of the way before it got dark. Then they found an abandoned Taoist temple in the mountains that seemed to be relatively intact and spent the night.
The courtyard of this abandoned Taoist temple is overgrown with weeds, and there are some rubble, mud walls, wooden beams and the like lying on the ground. It seems that this Taoist temple has been abandoned for at least several decades.
Ning Beichen also saw a water jar at the door of the Taoist temple.
However, the water tank is filled with rancid stagnant water. As soon as people get close to it, the mosquitoes in the water tank will buzz and fly around, which makes people feel sick.
Fortunately, they had brought a lot of mineral water with them when they came, and they also found a small mountain stream nearby. Although the water flow was not large, it could be packed in a small folding bucket and used to wash the body.
After walking in such barren mountains and ridges for a day, my body is covered with sweat. As long as there are conditions, everyone wants to take a bath. Even if there is not much water source, at least you need to wipe your body to feel comfortable.
The two of them made a slightly clean area inside the Taoist temple, pulled out the weeds on the ground, and then set up two simple tents. They followed Ning Beichen to find some dry firewood outside to boil water.
It gets dark faster in the mountains, and before six o'clock in the evening, you can already lose sight of your hands. Especially at night, there are some weird sounds coming from outside from time to time, which makes people feel cautious.
Ning Beichen was sitting cross-legged inside the tent, refining his Qi, and at the same time spreading out his senses, covering an area of about ten miles outside.
At the same time, I also sensed that Chen Mingyue in the tent next door was also practicing, and his aura was strong. It seemed that he was not far from breaking through to the next level.
Ning Beichen moved the induction away from her body. The speed of Liu Yilin's cultivation made Ning Beichen, the great master, feel a little jealous.
It seems that some people are really the darlings of the world and are better than ordinary people in everything they do.
But Ning Beichen didn't want to think about himself. He was also the darling of heaven and earth.
At his age, he is already a great master, not to mention unprecedented and unprecedented, at least it is rare to find someone as good as him in modern times.
Ning Beichen practiced for a while and then ended hastily.
I don’t know why? After reaching the realm of the Grand Master, every time Ning Beichen practiced, he could clearly feel that there seemed to be some kind of law between heaven and earth that restricted him, like a shackle, trapping him here.
In a realm, no matter how hard he struggles and cultivates, it will be useless.
That's why Ning Beichen tried every means to find Jiugong Ce, hoping to get some answers from it, and at least let him know whether the Grand Master has reached the end of the road in the world.
If not, is there really a unity between heaven and man in this world?
And where are those people who have reached the unity of heaven and man now?
Did it turn into a cup of loess?
Or live in this world unknown to others.
Just when Ning Beichen was feeling uneasy, he suddenly felt movement not far from the Taoist temple. Just when he was about to sense it carefully, he found that the movement had disappeared.
However, this has aroused Ning Beichen's vigilance. He stood up and left the tent, without disturbing Chen Mingyue who was practicing, and walked to the door of the Taoist temple.
It stands to reason that there won't be any large beasts here in Zhong Nanshan, but many things are hard to say.
It's pitch black outside. Even though there are stars in the sky illuminating the sky, this is not a plain, but deep in the mountains. Human beings can barely see anything here.
However, Ning Beichen is not an ordinary person, but a great master, and his senses have already been strengthened.
He stood motionless at the door of the Taoist temple, with his eyes and ears listening in all directions. He could not hide any disturbance within a ten-mile radius.
After standing for about ten minutes and finding nothing, Ning Beichen frowned and then returned to the Taoist temple, while Chen Mingyue was still practicing.
One night passed.
Nothing dangerous appeared last night, and Ning Beichen stopped caring about it. Instead, after eating and drinking with Chen Mingyue, he packed up his things and continued towards the coordinates.
The deeper they went, the more deserted it became. There were no paths left, and there were weeds as tall as a person's head and some plants taller than a person.
In some places, Ning Beichen and Liu Yilin had to use Qinggong to get around them.
"Beichen, we should be almost at the coordinates provided by Jiugongce."
Liu Yilin held the coordinates in her hand and compared it with the map, looked at it for a while and said.
"Okay, let's hurry up and get on the road and try to get to the coordinates today before resting."
Ning Beichen said.
Liu Yilin nodded and Ning Beichen continued to hurry up, because it would be dark here soon.
About two hours later, Liu Yilin stopped at a place, looked back and forth for a while, and then spoke to Ning Beichen.
"This is right here. The coordinates calculated by the computer through Jiugongce should be in this area, but there seems to be nothing here. Could it be a mistake?"
Ning Beichen had also observed the surrounding situation early. As Chen Mingyue said, there is nothing special here. The ground is bare and there are some trees in the distance. No matter how you look at it, this is a very ordinary place.
"Maybe not here, but somewhere else nearby, but it's getting dark now. Let's set up camp here for the night. It might rain tonight."
Ning Beichen looked at the clouds in the sky, and then said to Liu Yilin.
"That's fine. The terrain here is relatively high. It won't be flooded even if it rains. Let's spend the night here. I hope we can find something tomorrow."
Chen Mingyue looked at the sky and nodded in agreement.
Soon Ning Beichen and Chen Mingyue took out tents and other things and began to set up a camp here. After setting up the tent, Ning Beichen also collected as many dead branches and dry leaves as possible nearby.
Because once it rains, there will be no dry firewood, and they will be unable to make a fire.
Fortunately, Ning Beichen accidentally discovered a few pheasants while collecting dry firewood. He picked up a few stones and knocked them down.
"Eline, what do you think this is? We are in for a treat tonight."
Ning Beichen took out the pheasant, which surprised Chen Mingyue.
As expected, as Ning Beichen expected, before it got completely dark, strong winds began to blow around and the sky became gloomy.
Not long after, it began to rain heavily.
Fortunately, Ning Beichen had already set up the rain cover in advance, so he didn't have to worry about the rain getting the campfire and tent wet.
