462. The Peacock River, under the beauty of the sky
Cheng Tianle said the truth: "If a toad wants to be reborn, of course the hope is slim, otherwise there will be no toads in the world and become a toad demon! But you are much lucky than other toads. You have retained the wisdom and knowledge of the past five hundred years, and there is no need for anyone to guide you. Although the opportunity of that year is difficult to show, the deviation of that year can be avoided, and now there will be new opportunities.
Despite this, the possibility of not being able to achieve cultivation is also extremely high. You are likely to fall in the middle way and have only a single chance to be reborn. However, you sit in the secret room and want to take others to heal the mysterious female beads. There is no hope at all. Even if you can succeed and recover your injuries, you may still not be able to survive the disaster of reborn. Either sit here for a hundred years and wait for your life span, or you can try it."
Yu Daoyang's voice seemed very low: "You just wanted to prove the great success of the Xuanpin Demon Pill, so you came to persuade me to break it by yourself?"
Cheng Tianle: "It's right. If you follow this method, it's probably not a success in success, but a self-destruction. But being able to break through this method is also a serious destination for you."
Yu Daoyang: "I have two or three hundred years of life. I can wait a little longer, maybe there is another turning point. If I decide like this now, if I fail to practice, I may die in just a few decades. I still can't make up this decision."
Cheng Tianle turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cave, leaving a divine thought: "I have a life of five hundred years. I can wait for you to make a decision, but I am afraid that it will be even later when you make a decision in the future... I will come again. But I will not open the secret room and take Yu Daoyang away. If one day, I would not mind taking a toad that has been practiced from the beginning to return to Wanbian Sect. By then, I can accept you as your disciple and you will receive the precepts of Wanbian Sect."
This divine thought contained his purpose and specific situation of establishing the Wanbian Sect in Suzhou, and also left a "place" for Yu Daoyang. If this old toad really used this method to seek rebirth. The Xuan Pin Pearl started to practice again from a toad, he could bring it back to the Wanbian Sect and accept it as a disciple, just like taking that little monkey into the beginning.
If the toad is fortunate to break through many tests and become a monster again, from form and spirit to mind and nature, it has a complete transformation, which is equivalent to becoming a monster in one lifetime. He is neither Yu Daoyang nor Yu Daoyang anymore. Cheng Tianle also mentioned that he has a life of five hundred years, which is indeed a very special situation, because he himself is equivalent to a great demon cultivator. The process of condensing the Xuanpin Pearl is the process of practicing with the human body as the original body of a monster.
When you reach this level of cultivation, you will probably know your life span. The life span of a demon cultivator is much longer than that of a cultivator on earth. But how long it is is related to the race of origin and to the cultivation level. The so-called five hundred years is a false finger, which does not mean that Cheng Tianle can live to 500 years by tidying his head and brain, but is determined roughly by his physical and mental state. If he is seriously injured, his life span may be greatly damaged. If his cultivation level improves, he can still be reborn and detached in the legend.
Cheng Tianle accidentally learned the magic tricks of the demon cultivator, and successfully condensed the Xuanpin Pearl under Shi Ye's guidance. His life span was much longer than that of ordinary Dacheng Zhenren. Therefore, his vision of many things gradually became different. If it were not before, no one would have thought that he would say such words to Daoyang and give such suggestions to the old toad.
When he was about to leave the door, Yu Daoyang also sent the last divine thought, not saying whether he had made a decision, but told him what was in the cave in western Sichuan. In this way, if Cheng Tianle found that, he would be able to know what Liu Yanghe had taken away and what was left by Liu Yanghe himself.
Yu Daoyang also introduced in detail the Iron Watt and Jinshe Art he knew. This secret technique is closely related to the original Tibetan Bon religion. The method of cultivation is very strange and difficult, but it is extremely powerful after practicing it. Yu Daoyang also heard of it when he was in western Sichuan, but he had never seen anyone practice it. He thought it had been passed down five hundred years ago, but he didn't expect that someone would practice it five hundred years later.
If Liu Yanghe had already proved that the iron tiles and gold houses were accomplished, he would definitely be extremely cruel. Yu Daoyang told Cheng Tianle all the strange magical powers he knew about this secret technique, and he would have a clear idea of it if he met it. It is expected that the enemy would be lenient. Assuming that Liu Yanghe had achieved great success, Cheng Tianle would not be his opponent without the Xuanpin Demon Pill. Now he has the power to fight, but if he loses, run away quickly.

According to the results of contemporary water conservancy surveying and mapping, the source of the Yellow River is Maqu, also known as Yogu Zongliqu, which means "Peacock River" in Tibetan. In fact, in ancient times, the Peacock River was not only the name of such a river on the plateau, but also the general name of all tributaries in this basin. Standing on the snow peak and looking from a very high place, the tributaries at the bottom of the valley at the origin of the Yellow River are spread out in a fan-shaped shape, dotted with many beautiful lakes of all sizes, just like the beautiful tail feathers of peacocks spreading their tails.
Where the tributaries cross and converge, there is a plateau wetland. In the basin surrounded by mountains, large swamps and thousands of lakes are formed, scattered in various shapes, the large ones are several miles in radius, and the small ones are only a few square meters. If you can fly in the sky and look down, these lakes will shine brightly, just like the starry sky hanging upside down. This place is called the Star Sea, and in the Tang Dynasty, it is also called the Star River.
Five hundred years ago, when he entered the cave in Yu Daoyang on the western Sichuan Plateau, Xingsu Sea was a must-pass place. In the information provided by Xing Qiufu to Cheng Tianle, Nian Qiuye also mentioned that she would pass through a place called Xingsu Sea. The day after Cheng Tianle talked to Yu Daoyang in the secret cave, he flew from Dalian to Xining, the capital of Qinghai Province.
He found a travel company in Xining and rented an off-road vehicle in the name of self-driving tours. Many local travel agencies provide this service. Generally, they can specially get a car, a driver, and a tour guide, and only need to pay the fee. But Cheng Tianle naturally could not let others follow him. After discussing for a long time, he paid a large amount of insurance and a deposit that could almost be bought for a new car. He copied his driver's license and ID card on the spot, signed an agreement at his own risk, and then drove away.
The so-called western Sichuan Plateau is not a modern geographical term, but an ancient concept of orientation. It refers to the place where the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is connected to the mountains of Sichuan. It is from thousands of rocks and valleys to the vast land of the vast land, and the Yangtze River and the Yellow River all originate from here.
In the era of Daoyang, the best way to get here was to go west from Sichuan along the ancient road to Tibet. I don’t know how many days it takes to walk or how many difficulties and obstacles it takes to travel through. But now the transportation is so convenient. Cheng Tianle flew to Xining first and galloped along National Highway 214, and arrived at Maduo County that night.
Before coming, Cheng Tianle was a little worried about the road conditions here and made sufficient mental preparations. However, this national highway was unexpectedly smooth and smooth, even better than the road conditions of many national highways in the mainland. There were few cars seen along the way, and occasionally herders drove herds on the road, moving from one ranch to another. At this time, they had to slow down and avoid the sheep. From Xining to Mado, the season may be wrong. Before the peak season of plateau exploration, Cheng Tianle encountered more sheep than cars.
This is already a plateau cold zone with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. The annual average temperature is below zero. The roadbed and the moisture contained in the roadbed sand and gravel on the road will freeze in winter and melt in summer. The slurry phenomenon often damages the road surface. It requires huge manpower and material resources to maintain such smooth road conditions. In this area of 45,000 square kilometers, most of which are uninhabited areas and have only more than 10,000 residents. It can be seen that the country has invested huge resources all year round.
Driving on this plateau, it is difficult to experience that artistic conception without being there. The sky is very high and blue, the clouds are very white and beautiful, it is a real sky of thousands of miles. The wilderness spreads endlessly. In this season, the grass leaves are all light yellow, and gradually become dark brown in the distance. On the horizon are the outlines of light green mountains, which are endless. "The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast" is not only a poem in the book, but also a painting that unfolds in front of you.
The streams on the plateau also seem so casual, open, thorough and mysterious. They do not have the embankment that binds them and flow on the grassland at will. The water is not deep, but the river surface is very wide, and it is extremely clear at a glance. It is winding and twisted like cursive scripts, and the entire piece of Cangyuan is the rice paper they wrote.
For a monk like Cheng Tianle who has a great success realm, he has another feeling when walking on this highest plateau in the world. This is also an excellent place to practice the way of controlling the form. The soul can be stretched out so far and deep. When he drove forward, he also unfolded the soul to touch this unprecedented artistic conception.
The scenery is of course extremely beautiful, but it does not mean that it can be easily absorbed. In this mysterious and distant beautiful scenery, there is also a kind of forest aura between heaven and earth, faintly exuding an invisible coldness. It seems to be testing the will of all living beings, so harsh and ruthless, and such moving beauty seems to be keeping people from thousands of miles away.
Many people may wish to go to such places to relax when they are in a bad mood, or to relax their body and mind in the vast land far away from the hustle and bustle. This mood may be out of curiosity, or to be bored with what they see day after day in the urban jungle, or to have a unique experience, or to pursue the feeling of being integrated into nature.
But as far as Cheng Tianle, the real person who is a great person, feels, this plateau is not suitable for everyone to relax. It cannot make some people's mood more soothing, or even add to depression.
The world here is vast and infinite, the beauty of the scenery is shocking, and the lurking coldness is silent. If you come here with a knot of melancholy and depression and depression, you will feel that you are so small between the world, and even all living beings are so small, even life is light.
