Chapter 32: The Growth History of the Great Cultivator
So sloppy!
While walking back, Zhou Tai determined the nature of his test.
I thought about it and just did it without thinking too carefully. The plan was not perfect or rigorous at all. Every day I thought about how to cultivate immortality and how to live a life like a fairy after cultivating immortality. Maybe it was when I was avoiding it or sleeping too much.
Thinking about how to dream.
Although we know through experiments how far away we can no longer see the light of Kongming Lanterns in the night sky, it is only an approximate number. Is it 5 kilometers? Or a little further? I am not sure.
The main reason is that I can't measure the distance I've walked. I can only guess how far I've walked based on my feelings. The ground is full of mountain roads, ravines, and the like. Sometimes I have to take detours. If I want to measure the straight-line distance, I can't use the method of checking the number of steps.
Doesn't work.
I didn't realize this problem until I walked further away, but the Kongming Lantern had already risen to mid-air, and I had already walked a certain distance, so I gave up? Is this the last thing missing?
It's like going on a date. After watching a movie and having dinner, you tell each other and go back to your home? Is that a human being?
If you have already done half of something, then insist on finishing it. Giving up will become a habit and affect your enterprising spirit.
And after a short period of thinking, Zhou Tai also thought that this test should be completed. No matter in the past or present, he has never done such a test. He has no idea at what distance the brightness of the Kongming Lantern can be seen. If it is too far away, the range will be too large.
, then we can only give up this method.
The distance of about 5 kilometers made Zhou Tai feel that it was still a bit big. He thought that the brightness of the Kongming Lantern was limited and would not be too far away, but this value still exceeded Zhou Tai's heart.
Let’s see if we can find a way to reduce the brightness of the Kongming Lantern, Zhou Tai thought as he walked.
In fact, after about 3 kilometers, it was not so obvious, but in order to keep improving, Zhou Tai walked directly to confirm that he could no longer see it, and then started to return.
On a more serious level, this is a matter of life and death, so we must take it seriously.
After the test was completed, Zhou Tai immediately went to collect the Kongming Lantern.
This must be taken back. There is no material to make a new one. Zhou Tai doesn't want to buy new materials. It didn't matter how much he bought before, but now he can't.
The thin silk thread used for the link is a thread woven from a kind of silk mixed with other materials, called silkworm silk. It is light in weight and very strong. It is not cheap, and the paper used to make the Kongming Lantern is not too ordinary paper either.
, it is only sold in a few places in the city.
The materials of the Kongming Lantern must be discovered by some interested people, and if you buy it, you are likely to fall into the attention of these interested people.
I just made an extra one as a backup before, but I didn't know that I didn't get the secrets of the exercises. The original plan was to fly away after hiding, regardless of success or failure.
But in the face of failure, sometimes a gambler's mind will appear, maybe try again and succeed? I was really unwilling to give up, so I gave up the idea of leaving, so I had to find a way to get the secrets of the exercises again.
When he came to the vicinity of the Kongming Lantern, he observed it first to make sure there was nothing abnormal. Then Zhou Tai walked out and began to pull the Kongming Lantern down with the thin thread.
As a result, as soon as the Kongming Lantern was pulled down and held in his hand, before he could blow it out, he heard chaotic sounds not far away.
He turned around and took a look in confusion, but it turned out that because of the darkness under the lamp, he couldn't see his surroundings at all. But in just a moment, Zhou Tai turned off the Kongming Lantern and ran away.
No matter it is a man or a beast, just run away. There is no need to hesitate. A gentleman will not stand behind a dangerous wall.
We'll wait until it's safer to confirm what's going on.
Xiao Yiwu was a little crazy at this moment. He was almost thirty feet away. He was overjoyed all the way, especially when he saw the luminous thing still staying in mid-air when he was about a hundred feet away.
He was so happy that he seemed to have seen the spirit stone waving to him.
However, when there was only about 70 feet away, someone appeared there, and started to get things without hesitation. Someone got there before him.
If he was alone, he would follow quietly and finally catch this bastard, but he was not alone.
Everyone is well-trained and keeps moving forward without making a sound, but they are all ordinary mortals, how could they not make a sound at all? Especially those who are rushing to go at the maximum speed. And I am ten feet ahead of them.
There was no way to shout for them to stop.
Sure enough, he discovered it. As expected, the guy was holding a flying light in his hand, glanced in his direction, and then ran away!
He ran away with his spiritual stone.
That face, although I couldn't see it clearly due to the distance, was the most hateful face I had ever seen.
Is that simply taking away the spirit stone?
no.
That is taking away the hope of continuing to cultivate as an immortal!
That would cut off your own way out of here.
I will never give up!
Xiao Yiwu roared and pursued faster.
This sudden roar was so sudden that the quiet night became a little chaotic. The unknown roars of beasts responded sporadically from an unknown distance. A group of resting birds were also startled, and a piece of bird feathers fell in panic.
Zhou Tai also almost lost his footing and fell.
Who is this? What's wrong? Why is it like meeting the enemy who killed his father and took his wife? It's so scary, run away!
While escaping, Zhou Tai occasionally looked back to check. Although he couldn't see his pursuer, the sound of footsteps could roughly tell the distance. And because of the sound, Zhou Tai judged that the people chasing him were a group of people, and the one closest to him was one.
There are many more behind him.
Zhou Tai was not naive enough to believe that the group at the end was chasing the person behind him, and that their pursuit had nothing to do with him.
Even if there is such a possibility, one must first assume the worst case scenario for everything, not to mention that the possibility is infinitely small at present, because Zhou Tai found that no matter how he changed directions, those people behind him were changing directions with him.
Let Zhou Tai confirm that those people came for him.
This chase is inexplicable, just like asking a child: Why are you running, because a dog is chasing me. Then study why the dog chases, because the child ran, so the dog chased. I hope this matter will not be so bloody.
Zhou Tai also thought about whether he was attracted by the sky lantern. This may be very likely, but he came to the door before he started to lure him? But he hadn't started to prepare, and he hadn't had time to get the two-sided warrior suit.
.
Xiao Yiwu followed closely behind him. Even though it was dark and he couldn't see the way ahead clearly and couldn't see any shadows, the sound of the opponent running was the best beacon and he couldn't run away.
If the opponent suddenly stops making noise while running away, it means he or she is hiding nearby, so don’t worry too much.
Because they were not far away from each other, Zhou Tai did not dare to slow down at all. In the dark night, he could not see the way forward at all. If it were not for his spiritual consciousness, the darkness would not have much impact on his spiritual consciousness. He would always be in this rampant state.
When danger arises, he can rely on his spiritual consciousness to avert danger, and Zhou Tai has long since escaped the accident.
He originally thought that he would be able to throw the opponent away quickly, but after running a long distance, Zhou Tai discovered that although the opponent did not close the distance between him and him, he did not move away either.
Well, it depends on who has better physical strength. Although I walked ten kilometers before, I don’t believe that my strengthened physique can’t outrun others!
This is just the end of the warm-up...
Zhou Tai had spiritual awareness, and Xiao Yiwu also had it. Both of them ran very fast in the dark night, as if they were walking on flat ground. But Xiao Yiwu's men who were divided into two echelons did not. Although accidents often occurred, they still pursued them tenaciously.
With.
However, as the distance ran longer and longer, they were also being pulled further apart.
In this constant pursuit and escape, Zhou Tai inevitably became tired. When he found that the other party had not given up, he threw away the Kongming Lantern that he had been holding in his hand. He needed to make wise choices at the moment and must not be confused. Sometimes he did
Some choices need to be made decisively.
Sometimes I really want to go back and fight for a while, with death and death for eternity, but Zhou Tai has no shortage of blood and courage to fight.
But when I thought that I had been pursuing immortality for more than ten years in this world of cultivating immortals, and had achieved almost nothing and had no powerful means at all, I resisted the idea of going back and working hard.
Cultivation to immortality! Cultivation to immortality! If you don’t cultivate, you can only go crazy in the mortal world!
It's like a lost dog.
Zhou Tai laughed at himself in his heart, but he soon realized that his mentality was wrong. He kept getting what he asked for, and he kept getting it. Coupled with this moment of being chased, his mentality was a bit broken.
Any experience is growth.
Think about it this way.
I feel like what I am facing is nothing, and I feel motivated again.
Have the confidence to stand on top of the clouds and look down at the sky. Any experience or difficulty is something that a great monk must face and go through.
This is an indispensable moment in the growth history of the great monk.
Thoughts sublimate at this moment.
If it is possible to write an autobiography in the future and tell about the experience of becoming a great monk, this moment will not be a hardship, but an ordinary and trivial event in the legendary life of a great monk.
Sometimes, people need some chicken soup, no matter it is poisonous or not, drink it first! Take care of things! It works!
If you are unwilling to be chased all the time and can't escape, then think of a way quickly. There will always be a chance to escape or fight back!
Xiao Yiwu saw the Kongming Lantern that Zhou Tai had thrown away and picked it up. He took a look at it and saw that there was no spirit stone, so he threw it away again.
With the spirit stone in hand, do you think you can run faster? Dreaming! While thinking this, Xiao Yiwu took a pill from the storage bag and threw it into his mouth.
I can take drugs, what do you have?
During the pursuit, Xiao Yiwu found that his men were becoming more and more useless. If he didn't wait for them, they might be left behind soon, but looking ahead, listening to the non-stop sound
, if you catch up by yourself, the danger will undoubtedly increase a lot.
But after all, he didn't want to give up this opportunity and continued the pursuit without hesitation.
If Zhou Tai had put the spiritual stone into the sky lantern and thrown it somewhere, Xiao Yiwu would most likely have retreated without hesitation for the safety of the precious spiritual stone.
But Zhou Tai is not a fortune teller and doesn't know this. Moreover, if he knew that the pursuer behind him was an immortal cultivator he had always wanted to catch, he would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Although there is some doubt, it is very possible for a mortal with extraordinary physical talents.
Because the sky lanterns were released in the middle of the night, and as the chase continued, it was almost dawn.
And Zhou Tai, who had been panting, his eyes also lit up.
He had placed traps to catch prey in some places. He did not dare to go there before when it was dark, for fear that he would accidentally step on them. But now that it was getting light, he no longer had such worries.
As the sky became slightly brighter, the two men's chasing methods also changed.
If you run, I will run. If you stop, I will stop. If you walk, I will follow. I can’t run anymore, my will is firm. As for whether it is true, only two of them know it in their hearts. And Xiao Yiwu’s men
, has long since disappeared without a trace.
At a certain moment, Xiao Yiwu stepped on the trap, triggering the trap and being hoisted into the air by a rope.
Seeing the situation behind him, Zhou Tai stopped. It was not easy for the other party to step on a trap. This was already the third trap he had led through. The other party did not trigger the first two traps, but he did not trigger them either.
If you take the other person away again, you will definitely be suspected by the other party.
Who would have thought that encountering something like this in the middle of the night would be so sudden. If you had been prepared, it would have been completely different. But things are fickle, and it is impossible to always prepare people to face certain things. After all, it is strength.
If you have the strength...
Stop these thoughts, the most important thing now is killing people.
Kill this guy.
I have never killed anyone, but I am going to make an exception this time! There is a first time for everything.
The other person who chased me for half the night for no reason could not be a good person, either a traitor or a thief.
If he is wronged, then it is his own fault, who told him to run the fastest.
If he is the leader of that group of people, his death can cause riots and make the rest of his journey easier.
I also guessed that this guy might be a cultivator, so just search him.
"Give me the spirit stone and I will let you go." Xiao Yiwu, who was hanging on the tree, shouted to Zhou Tai in the distance.
But Zhou Tai didn't respond to his words, just like all the words he shouted last night.
If the other party is alone, it's fine. Let's chat at a safe distance and talk about any grudges or grudges. But if the other party is not alone, stop chatting so that the other party's subordinates can follow. Can the voice of the other party also indicate the direction? What are you thinking about?
Although the opponent had been caught in the trap, Zhou Tai did not go over, but sat down and began to recover his strength.
You must kill. Recover your physical strength first. What if someone else on the other side suddenly appears? If the opponent is hanging, you will not be as comfortable as sitting on your own.
Seeing that the other person did not come to his side, but instead sat on the ground to recover his strength, it seemed that he was probably well rested and continued running.
Although it was a pity that he didn't wait for the other party to come to him and give him a chance, Xiao Yiwu couldn't give him a chance to rest. Here in the barren mountains and ridges, he spent half the night running last night. If he let the other party rest, he wouldn't be able to run again.
It's easy to catch him. He only managed to catch up with him last night by taking drugs.
While thinking this way, the fireball technique took shape in his hand. With a flick, the fireball flew out and burned the rope instantly. Xiao Yiwu, who was prepared, did a somersault and landed perfectly.
