Chapter 111 The Taoist Temple and the Human Figure in the Soul-Blinding Pond



Xu Jianguo took the blue and white world map memory capsule in his hand and muttered to himself, "System, how do I use this capsule?"

[Ding, the host only needs to put the capsule into the mouth and swallow it with water.]

"OK!"

Xu Jianguo didn't hesitate and put the capsule directly into his mouth. Then he picked up the cup beside him, drank some water and swallowed the capsule.

A moment later, Xu Jianguo felt a warm current rising in his stomach, and then the spiritual energy in his dantian began to circulate involuntarily. Then this warm current began to flow slowly along his meridians, and finally stopped in his brain.

"boom!"

Xu Jianguo only felt that something exploded in his mind, and pictures of mountains and rivers flashed quickly in his mind.

It lasted for about a minute, and then the pictures in his mind stopped flashing. Finally, all the pictures formed a complete blue sphere in Xu Jianguo's mind, which was exactly what the earth looked like.

Xu Jianguo tried it and searched for the location information of Sandaliang Village in his mind. He saw the sphere in his mind began to rotate, and the last red coordinate appeared on the sphere.

Looking at the red coordinates in his mind, Xu Jianguo tried to control the zoom with his mind, and then the sphere began to move towards his perspective. This feeling was strange but also familiar. It was a bit like the zoom effect when we view map software on computers in later generations. Through continuous zooming in, a complete bird's-eye view of Sandaliang Village appeared in front of his eyes.

Xu Jianguo looked at Sandaliang Village on the map and quickly found the location of his home.

By constantly zooming in and out of the map, Xu Jianguo soon discovered something that surprised him.

First of all, the image presented on the map was of extremely high clarity, and he could even see the patterns on the stones in the yard.

Secondly, he found that the image on the map could be automatically updated in a short period of time. For example, he saw Xiao Hei in the yard lying next to the warehouse on the map, but after a while, the map in front of him flashed, and then he found that Xiao Hei had run to the door of the house and was lying in the sun. Xu Jianguo roughly counted and found that the interval between each flash of the map was about 10 seconds. Although it could not be updated in real time, it was already a very powerful existence. If it could be used in the military field, relying on the military strength of Longxia Kingdom and the ability to predict the enemy in advance, the combat effectiveness could definitely be increased several times. However, he was not interested in this, so he would talk about it later when there was a chance.

After thinking about it, Xu Jianguo began to compare the map he got from Mingkong Futon with his memory.

The earth in his mind began to rotate slowly. After about five minutes, the familiar red coordinates appeared again. Xu Jianguo enlarged the map. The first thing that came into his sight was thick fog, followed by the same geographical location as on the leather map: the land of Bashu, Wawu Mountain, and Mihun Pond.

Wawu Mountain is the largest virgin forest in the Longxia Kingdom, covering a total area of ​​880,000 mu (approximately 1,000 hectares), and boasts a diverse array of rare and precious flora and fauna. However, Wawu Mountain is most famous not for its rare flora and fauna, but for its mysterious and forbidden Mihun Pond, where it is said that anyone entering it will become lost. Renowned explorers from many countries around the world have sought to explore its depths, but all have ultimately vanished here.

Therefore, the Mihun Pond in Wawu Mountain is also known as one of the eight forbidden areas of Longxia Kingdom, along with the Death Valley in Kunlun Mountain, the Laoye Temple in Poyang Lake, the Shentang Bay in Zhangjiajie, Lop Nur, the Laangcuo Lake in Ghost Lake, the Ghost Gate in Liupan Mountain and the Qiangtang No Man's Land.

Xu Jianguo continued to zoom in on the map, and saw that his perspective began to pass through the dense vegetation, and finally an ancient building appeared in a dense primeval jungle. From the shape of the building, it can be found that this should also be a Taoist temple, but this Taoist temple has almost been covered by various vines, and its original appearance cannot be seen.

Suddenly, the scene in front of him flickered, and then Xu Jianguo suddenly widened his eyes and stared at a figure that appeared in the Taoist temple. The man was wearing a tattered Taoist robe. Due to the angle, his face could not be seen clearly, but through his pale hair and beard, he could be sure that he should be an elderly Taoist priest.

Xu Jianguo was stunned for a long time until the screen flashed again and the old Taoist figure disappeared, then he came to his senses.

"How could there be people here?" In his previous life, Xu Jianguo had visited Wawu Mountain and wanted to build a resort there. The local staff had also introduced him to the situation of Mihun Pond. He only remembered that he was just standing on the periphery at the time, but he could feel the eerie horror inside. The thick fog, the malfunctioning compass and the strange electromagnetic signals made him finally give up the investment plan.

Shaking his head, Xu Jianguo did not continue to explore. He looked at the time and found that it was already past noon. He came to the fish pond outside the supermarket and caught a silver carp weighing about ten pounds from it. With a thought, he removed the scales and gills of the fish and gutted it. Then he carried the cleaned fish back to the kitchen, took out a large piece of pork belly and cut it into thin slices, prepared seasonings such as green onion, ginger, and star anise, cut open the fish head, cut the fish body into large sections, and made a dish of braised silver carp with rich sauce.

Taking out the white flour, Xu Jianguo began to knead the dough and make pancakes. He also took three cucumbers and seasoned them with salt and sesame oil.

He served himself a large piece of fish, cut the freshly baked pancake into pieces, soaked it in fish soup, and ate it with big mouthfuls of mixed cucumber.

After the meal, Xu Jianguo took out a large casserole, put the fish meat at the bottom, the cut fish head on top, and finally poured in the soup, sprinkled with chopped green onions, and covered it.

Then he put the pancakes into the lunch box, put the remaining mixed cucumbers into a bowl, and finally put everything into the backpack. After cleaning up the kitchen, Xu Jianguo returned to the house.

He took off his shoes and got on the kang, put the clock on the table beside him, and then adjusted the time flow in the room to 120 times. Xu Jianguo estimated the time. It was now 1:20 in the afternoon, and there were still three hours and forty minutes until five in the evening, which means he still had a little more than eighteen days to use. Without further delay, he sat cross-legged and began to practice the three Taoist exercises that he had abandoned for nearly a month.

The order of practice is still the same as before. First practice Taiqing Jue, then Guiyuan Miehun Zhang, and finally practice Taiyi Youlong Zhendian. The practice time for each technique is temporarily set at six days. If the situation changes, adjustments will be made at that time.

Xu Jianguo closed his eyes, opened the Taiqing Jue in his mind, and slowly began to practice. At this time, the spiritual energy gathered above the wellhead in the yard began to surge again, and slowly gathered towards the direction of the house.
