The touch of green could not be concealed no matter what on the willow tree that was already completely dilapidated and dry, without a trace of life left.
The warm wind has not yet arrived, but the vitality is already apparent.
Gu Dan looked at the sun chrysanthemum beside the courtyard wall again, but its aura was not as obvious, but much more restrained and mature.
In the small courtyard of the Gu family, two completely different spiritual plants could actually emerge! The Fiery Sun Chrysanthemum is naturally quite strange. It has been nourished by him and has lived for more than a hundred years, which is longer than the history of the Xia Dynasty.
It is not particularly surprising to be able to achieve something.
But this dead and rotten willow tree really exceeded Gu Dan's expectations.
Amidst the visible ruin, it has regained vitality.
This is by no means an ordinary occurrence.
The dramatic changes in heaven and earth brought unbearable disasters and calamities to countless countries and people.
But amidst the disasters and misfortunes, a new vitality, completely different from all the past, has quietly emerged in the world.
Gu Dan believed that it was not just his courtyard that was blessed with these two rare treasures.
In fact, strictly speaking, only the tender seedling on the willow tree can be considered a true product of nature and creation.
If this is the case with a small courtyard of the Gu family, how many previously unimagined things are quietly gestating, breaking out of the ground, and appearing before people in the entire world? After the second great change in heaven and earth, this change has actually occurred.
There was a shining light on Gu Dan's body.
It takes a whole winter to practice Qi at one level.
This is certainly because of his reliance on Ruomu, which has elevated his talent. On the other hand, isn't it also proof that the concentration of spiritual energy in heaven and earth has greatly increased!
Under the nourishment of spiritual energy, a new color will appear between heaven and earth.
The color of the immortal way.
In Zhenchuan, he once lamented the impact of the environment on people.
And now, the environment suitable for the path to immortality has come into the world and is clearly presented before him.
He was the first creature to notice this change.
Judging from the current speed of development, the drastic degree of this change is even faster than he imagined.
I'm afraid it won't take too long before people around the world will be able to notice this unique change.
Like it or not.
The change is there and cannot be diverted by the will of ordinary people.
Fortunately, even if faced with new changes, Xia Chao was the first to notice it.
Gu Dan rewrote many immortal classics in the Buzhou Mountains and gave them to Emperor Qizhi.
However, the facts have proved that there are not as many people who can practice as imagined, and it is even more impossible to achieve something in such a short time.
Only those with natural spiritual roots or even extraordinary spiritual roots can be promoted to the first level of Qi training in just one winter day.
This was because Gu Dan had practiced dispersing his energy before and was very experienced in this area.
The real advantage of the immortal way over the martial way is that all living things can benefit from it.
Whether it is flowers, trees, or countless living creatures, even if they lack talent, they will live longer than ordinary people if they are nurtured by spiritual energy.
Those who stand out among them can even "leap over the dragon gate", transcend the world and become superior to ordinary people.
Now in the Gu family courtyard, it can only be considered as the beginning of its development.
There was a gleam of light between Gu Dan's eyes, and divine patterns were intertwined.
He tried hard to activate his divine power of the third eye and looked towards the scorching sun chrysanthemum in the yard.
In a field of vision that no one else could see, the Fiery Sun Chrysanthemum was absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth almost madly, hungrily and thirstily.
Even the concentration of spiritual energy in the Gu family courtyard is one level higher than outside.
This is why immortals often say that places where spiritual creatures are born are usually rich in spiritual energy.
If there is no prosperity, how can spiritual creatures grow?
However, in the vision of the divine eye, when the spiritual energy flowed, a small portion of it was intercepted and then transformed into a purer and weaker spiritual energy and returned.
Gu Dan looked at the tiny young seedling on the dilapidated willow tree.
This new tender seedling is sharing the spiritual energy absorbed by the Fiery Sun Chrysanthemum, adding nutrients for its own growth.
As a reward, a small portion of the spiritual energy it absorbs and transforms will also be given back to the Fiery Sun Chrysanthemum.
Such mutual benefit will bring great benefits to both of them.
There is already something like a symbiotic relationship - it's just that this symbiotic relationship is not that obvious.
"I see. No wonder I heard that spiritual creatures also like to gather together. As long as a very strong spiritual plant appears, there will definitely be other spiritual plants around it."
A smile appeared on Gu Dan's face, and some enlightenment arose in his heart.
The further the power goes upward, the more obvious its impact on the surroundings will be.
Just like his blood Qi, when it is activated, ordinary people around him will also be affected. The activity of their own Qi and blood will be greatly improved, and practicing martial arts will be twice as effective with half the effort.
And the effect of Xiandao in this regard is becoming more and more obvious!
"Emperor Zong Ming spent his entire life trying to bring disaster to a huge country, but now it is within his reach."
Gu Dan seemed to be thinking about something.
Under the power of time, it is enough to witness too many things.
What is the point of changing customs? Changing the world is just around the corner.
Gu Dan walked out of the Gu family courtyard and headed in one direction.
The houses on the road have been rebuilt and look much newer, and this time there are people living in them.
It means to take care of others.
Since the old thing has been damaged, there is no need to build an identical one again.
no need.
After all, the original purpose of a house is to provide people with a place to live.
Spilled water cannot be collected, and time that has passed will never come back. Things in memory, remaining in memory, is also a way home.
The cold winter is about to end, but the warm spring has not yet arrived.
Even the imperial capital of the Xia Dynasty seemed a little depressed.
The disaster relief here is the fastest and most timely. After all, it is the real hub of a country and the center of power.
One winter day is enough to rebuild most of the collapsed houses and provide people with a place to live.
But this winter, the imperial capital of the Xia Dynasty was also much colder.
"Cross your legs for three years. Subdue the dragon and tiger, and tie the horse and ape.
The heart is like water, the breath is like cotton. If you don’t want to be a god, be a saint. "
Walking on the street, Gu Dan heard a childish voice singing.
The song was leisurely and carefree, without any considerations or constraints, simple and innocent.
"When the lamp in the east room is on, the west room is bright; when there is no lamp in the west room, it seems as if there is a lamp.
The light in front of the lamp is like a shade, but it’s a pity that the lampstand does not illuminate itself.
You can’t see the person behind the lamp, you can’t see the person in front of the lamp. The truth in front is more real when you look behind the lamp . The slower you go, the brighter it is. So keep your eyes on the back.”
Walking through the streets and alleys, the view in front of you suddenly opens up.
In the prosperous imperial capital of the Xia Dynasty, there is still a ruin with no one working on it.
In front of the ruins, there were a few cheerful little girls jumping around, singing nursery rhymes and playing in their clear voices.
This was once a royal palace.
Otsuki Palace.
They also spent a lot of money to rise up and dominate the country.
But since the founding of the Xia Dynasty, the handling of this place has become somewhat delicate.
It’s a waste to tear it down.
Give it as a reward, it should be of the imperial palace standard.
Just leave it for people to enjoy.
It was also a good warning to the royal family - the palace of Dayue was right there! However, with two earthquakes now, the palace of Dayue naturally could not hold on and collapsed.
It no longer has the grandeur and majesty of the past.
Even ordinary children could play among the broken bricks and tiles of the Dayue Palace.
It can be said that: the swallows that used to fly in front of the halls of the Wang and Xie families now fly into the homes of ordinary people.
The current Xia Dynasty has no time to take care of these ruins for the time being, as there are more important things to do.
Gu Dan stood quietly in the distance, not disturbing the little girls who were jumping and playing.
I listened to the clear and simple voice getting farther and farther away.
"The broom vine, the broom vine, with a straight trunk and many branches,
Sweep away all the clouds in the sky above and sweep away all the dust in the world below.
The sun and the moon hang like two mirrors in the sky, and every household is quiet.
Don’t be afraid that you can’t sweep the world, just sweep your own heart.”
The sound of the nursery rhyme gradually faded away.
Gu Dan also walked into the ruins of Dayue Palace.
Following the direction in my memory, I walked to the place where the Sutra Library of Dayue Palace was originally located.
It is called the Sutra Repository, but the books collected here had long been moved to the imperial palace of the Xia Dynasty.
Now even the houses can’t be seen anymore; they have all collapsed and are in ruins.
Broken tiles were scattered all over the ground, and no one cleaned them up.
Gu Dan found a small mound in the ruins.
It is not very conspicuous, even the tombstone is not visible, everything seems so ordinary, no different from the surrounding environment.
But this was once the burial place of a great master who protected the country.
"Master Ji, I'm back."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Looking at the small mound of earth, Gu Dan sighed softly.
Rather than saying this is Mr. Ji’s tomb, it would be more accurate to say it is a cenotaph.
But he still kept the promise he made in the past in his heart.
Since he had returned to the Xia Dynasty, he naturally had to fulfill his promise.
A very rich "blood" that twisted and swirled like a living thing appeared in Gu Dan's hand.
At the same time, the aura on his body also rose up.
The breath was enough to make the Grandmaster tremble and fall to his knees.
Vigorous and majestic, endless.
It's like a sun hidden inside.
"Martial arts is innate, the innate realm."
After a pause, Gu Dan continued, "I have arrived with the help of the Qi Refiner's method."
No response.
There was not even the sound of wind.
Gu Dan bent down and bowed.
"I still want to thank you for your teachings. You helped me avoid many detours and pointed me in a direction. Over the years, I have never forgotten it and have reflected on it from time to time. Finally, I have achieved Xiantian."
It's plain.
In fact, a hundred years have passed.
Everything is no longer the same as it used to be. Even the Gu family courtyard has been completely rebuilt.
At this moment, he seemed to be talking to the invisible ghosts in the world, separated by the distance of time.
I just can't hear the response anymore.
Gu Dan stood in front of the grave for a long time.
Then turned around and left.
A wind blew between heaven and earth.
The green robe that Gu Dan had changed back into fluttered in the wind.
It was like saying goodbye to him.
A hundred years later, the original promise has been fulfilled.
To comfort Mr. Ji, his spirit in heaven.
The warm breeze blows in amid the anticipation of countless people.
Spring has arrived.
Even after experiencing an unspeakable disaster, when you walk out the door, you can still see green everywhere, the grass is continuous and reflected in the distance, but it is difficult to detect when you look closely.
Life is much stronger than you imagine.
Broken trees sprouted new buds, buried flowers and plants grew again, and frozen rivers began to flow again.
Another year has passed! Spring ploughing, summer weeding, autumn harvest, winter storage.
No matter what kind of disaster you have experienced, your life has already taken shape.
From ancient times to the present day.
The blood and sweat of generations are buried in this ancient land, and generations of people have lived and multiplied here.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, day after day, year after year.
The 134 years of the Xia Dynasty were spent in a slightly uneasy atmosphere.
This year, the Xia Dynasty worked hard to rebuild after the disaster and save the victims.
Countless people have been praying in their hearts this year.
Pray that there won’t be another earthquake at the end of the year.
Otherwise, even with the Xia Dynasty's solid foundation, it would not be able to withstand such turmoil.
Fortunately, God seems to have really heard the voices of countless people.
There were no major disasters this year, and the impacts of minor changes were not far-reaching and insignificant.
When autumn comes, there will be a good harvest.
A good harvest after almost extinction in two years!
When Shang Lai came to Gu's courtyard to tell Gu Dan about this, the wrinkles on his face were piled up together, and he smiled so brightly that he almost wanted to smile like a flower.
This harvest is precious.
What is precious is not only the food, but also the people's confidence to continue living on the land.
In various parts of the Xia Dynasty, the granaries that had almost emptied finally began to be filled again, filled with expectations for the future.
The most violent upheaval in heaven and earth has come to an end.
The Xia Dynasty lasted 135 years.
People from all over the country often come to report the incident, and some people have witnessed strange things.
Of course, in this era, those strange things actually all have a common name.
Auspicious.
The real auspicious sign is no longer the dyed multicolored Ganoderma lucidum or the dyed white deer.
Truly, the spiritual treasures created by heaven and earth appeared in the eyes of the world.
Others said they saw a giant snake more than ten feet long, slithering along the street.
Some people said they saw fish bigger than boats, floating in the river.
There were even mountains that suddenly rose from the ground and appeared in the world. After the spiritual energy reappeared in the world, the blessings it brought to the mortal world have gradually surfaced.
Gu Dan also went to watch those auspicious signs - they were true, but most of them were in their nascent state. They were useful to cultivators in the Qi training stage, but they were not yet mature.
Most of them still need time to grow.
However, Gu Dan had never seen any rare treasure comparable to the one in the Gu family's courtyard that could be compared to the scorching sun chrysanthemum.
He quietly used Ruo Mu to urge some of the spiritual plants to mature quickly, while other rare treasures withered rapidly.
The rapidly maturing Lingzhen will absorb spiritual energy at an almost crazy speed to replenish itself.
However, Lingzhen, which was declining rapidly, went straight to destruction.
Wakamu did not miss.
However, Lingzhen also showed the same symptoms as humans.
Just like the former emperor of Dai Viet who swallowed too many pills.
Too much vitality will lead to the opposite effect.
What it will bring will no longer be vitality, but complete destruction.
He needs to grasp and explore the balance between the two.
In any case, a new era has arrived.
I'm afraid it won't be long before the spiritual energy returns and the news of the arrival of the immortal will spread like wildfire - after all, there will always be other spiritual plants that will be discovered.
The Xia Dynasty lasted one hundred and thirty-six years.
The second year after the great changes in heaven and earth.
Shang came to the Gu family courtyard again and looked at the figure in green robe in the courtyard.
“I heard that you once traveled with Gong Shangguo, a model of officials, in his old age and visited the Xia Dynasty.
I wonder if I would be lucky enough to invite you to watch the Xia Dynasty again, which has become a little different due to my efforts? "
Shang asked expectantly.
Looking at the pair of old eyes that were no longer sharp, Gu Dan nodded slightly.
"Yes." (End of this chapter)
