I want to embrace the moon for nine days

Bang! ! ! !

In the night sky, brilliant fireworks exploded.

On the outskirts of Cangshui County, beside a road, there are more than a hundred large tents.

Thousands of people are gathering here, there are bonfires everywhere, the smell of wine, and the aroma of roasted pork and lamb.

Gao Wenzhong, the magistrate of Cangshui County, was also in the crowd, talking loudly, laughing from time to time, holding a large wine bowl and drinking with everyone.

"The plan for the 16 main roads that was decided at this time last year has finally been completed today."

"The road fifty steps away from us is the final phase of the project. It was inspected this afternoon. A six-wheeled truck weighing 50,000 kilograms ran over it without leaving any trace."

"The other fifteen roads were also completed in the past few days. I hold a celebration party every night and I am happier every day."

Gao Wenzhong smiled and said, "These sixteen roads represent not only the convenience of land travel and caravan traffic, but also represent that the dangerous places that were originally blocked by deep mountains and steep ridges and mountain monsters and wild beasts have been opened up by us."

"Those places blessed with unique natural conditions and inhabited by spirits and monsters will also become treasure lands for us to reclaim and transform, raise spirits and monsters, and grow spiritual medicines."

"We can provide corresponding positions for anyone in the county, from fifteen to fifty or sixty years old, who is still able to move and willing to come out. The monthly wages can also be directly exchanged for these spiritual medicines to be used for the cultivation of their families."

"If everything goes well, we hope to raise the average life expectancy of the entire county's population to over 90 years in ten years, so that people can live in peace and harmony and enjoy their old age."

When he said this, all the people present laughed and drank together, their bodies were covered with sweat, and they felt refreshed.

Gao Wenzhong had indeed been drinking a little too much recently, and seeing everyone cheering him on, he became more and more excited as he talked.

However, when it came to his subsequent remarks, about changes in other counties, plans within the county, the blueprint for the nine counties of East China Sea, rumors about cooperation with Northern Xinjiang, etc., everyone was a little confused and couldn't quite relate to what he said.

Someone held a wine bowl in one hand and took out the Taiyi token with the other hand. He secretly took a picture and uploaded it to contact his family.

After a long while, Gao Wenzhong finally finished his speech. Everyone shouted a few times in response and started eating and drinking.

“It’s really different.”

Gao Wenzhong found a spot on the edge, sat under the roots of a tree, and drank by himself.

A few years ago, although Cangshui County was known as the most developed place among the ten nearby counties and had convenient water transportation, in fact, the surrounding mountains and valleys were great restrictions.

If the county magistrate at that time wanted to build a road into the mountains, it was definitely not for the benefit of the people, it was simply a mental illness.

At that time, even if we changed to a more practical and achievable goal, such as repairing some new roads within the county, there would not be many people who would actively respond, and there would be no such lively and happy atmosphere.

"What did I think at the beginning? I thought I would be a well-behaved county magistrate, stick to Lord Yun Tao's faction in the county, live a stable life, leave savings for my family, marry a wife and have children, teach my children and grandchildren to become talents, and then there will be a line of incense."

"Thinking about it now, I feel that the ideals at that time were really boring."

"So many things have happened in just the past two years or so."

Gao Wenzhong poured himself a drink and looked at the bonfire and fireworks with a smile on his face.

"I didn't expect that Magistrate Gao was very frugal with words back then. He would think twice before speaking, but now he opens his mouth and talks like a river, endlessly."

Under the shade of the tree, a figure appeared, holding a cold jade ice cup in his hand, and said with a smile, "Give me one too."

Gao Wenzhong's eyes lit up, and he poured him a cup, saying in surprise, "Didn't I hear that you were sleeping on the cliff of Feiliu Sword Sect, practicing magic skills? When did you come back?"

"Just now."

Su Hanshan sniffed the glass of wine and drank it all. "I've been to the grassland, the desert, and the sea recently, and I wanted to come back to see Cangshui, so I came here along the way to Songhe Martial Arts Hall."

Today is the thirty-fourth day since Su Hanshan met Yu Duxing.

This wisp of his consciousness has been wandering outside.

The Six Evil Stars represent destructiveness to the predetermined trajectory of the mortal world. Therefore, the areas that Su Hanshan travels to with the help of the Six Evil Stars are often places where the situation is undergoing drastic changes.

However, when it comes to the world today, the situation is changing extremely drastically.

Cangshui County is definitely among them.

When Su Hanshan realized this, he returned here.

Gao Wenzhong poured him another cup and asked, "How long will you stay this time?"

"It shouldn't be long. I'll probably have to go on another long trip soon."

Su Hanshan pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Did you just say that you want the average life expectancy of the entire county population to be over ninety?"

Gao Wenzhong was a little embarrassed: "It is said that with your current level of cultivation, your life span can reach more than 500 years. Many masters around you have lived to be 300 to 500 years old. Ninety seems a bit, well, a bit mediocre."

"Hahahaha, I think it's great, how can it be mediocre?"

Su Hanshan laughed heartily, "Everyone lives long, lives happily, and has hobbies. No matter how far we are from each other, no matter how long we are away, one day we can all be together again. That's all I wish for."

“At most, it’s a difference in numerical value.”

He paused here and said, "What's more, it's not an easy thing to achieve your goal."

After ten years of development, the average life expectancy is ninety.

How could the devil give you another ten years?

but……

Su Hanshan was so distracted that for a moment he actually developed a rather unrealistic and heroic spirit.

I really want to try and see if I can get there before the devil's calamity comes and make it spit out the past ten years.

Gao Wenzhong didn't know anything about the demonic calamity, and asked in confusion: "What happened?"

"Nothing, your wine tastes a bit bad, try mine."

Su Hanshan waved his hand and produced another cup, which was filled with clear, slightly green wine.

Gao Wenzhong took the cup and felt a slight coolness on his hand. His mind cleared up and he asked quickly, "Are you leaving now?"

"You have things to do, and I have things to do, too. To achieve your ideal, you have to work hard."

Su Hanshan replied casually and raised his hand to clink his glass with his.

Ding! !

Gao Wenzhong suddenly opened his eyes and found that there was no one around him.

The shade of the trees remains, the moonlight is dancing, and there are no extra traces of dead leaves on the ground.

The amount of wine in his pot had not decreased, and everything that had happened before seemed to be just a light dream after drinking. However, when Gao Wenzhong looked down, he found that he was holding a cold jade wine glass in his hand. The clear and slightly green wine made him very hungry.

Bang! ! !
Someone was setting off fireworks again, and the bright fireworks were reflected in the wine glasses.

Su Hanshan, who seemed real and illusory, did not actually fly away, but just walked away.

I walked through the white forest, crossed Shihao County, and crossed the Nucang River. I walked through night and day, sunrise and sunset.

At dusk, his consciousness returned to Feiliu Sword Sect again.

When he met someone he knew along the way, he naturally greeted them, until he reached the top of the mountain and saw himself.

The thinly dressed young man was sleeping soundly on the boulder. The wind, frost, rain and dew did not wet him, but gave him the scent of nature. His breathing was slow and long, as if he was breathing in the tranquility of the mountains and rivers.

When Su Hanshan's consciousness was placed in the Six Evil Stars, although everything seemed normal, he was actually in a state of lacking thinking, or in other words, he was ignorant and carefree, and his emotions were high and his worries were forgotten.

Only by letting nature take its course can one maintain the feeling of being in the same space as the Six Evil Stars. There are many things that cannot be thought about too carefully. Once you do, you will break away from this state.

Therefore, it was only today that he was able to remember and do it, to observe himself from the perspective of the Six Evil Stars.

He looked at his own eyebrows and breathing, feeling curious everywhere. He saw through the skin and flesh, the relaxation of cells, the movement of material particles all the time, the five elements of the internal organs, the magnetic field of life, and the ups and downs of the Five Thunder Qi.

I saw the soul under the skin, and then I saw the two pills.

The martial arts golden elixir contains the Azure Dragon's Heavenly Eye, a vertical eye with a mystical array of colors, and endless calculations.

The demon-subduing blood pill makes the demonic nature boil and burst, shattering it at any moment, transforming into essence and reorganizing it, and all seven emotions are free.

Although the concept represented by the Six Evil Stars is huge, it mainly possesses the abilities of observation, absorption, prayer, descent, and amplification.

There is no part responsible for independent thinking.

Su Hanshan used the conceptual perspective of the Six Evil Stars to observe himself, observing the two Yuandans that represented his rational thinking and emotional thinking.

This feeling is very strange. It is hard to tell whether I am observing external objects, external objects are observing me, or external objects are observing external objects.

But no matter which form of observation it is, there is Su Hanshan’s self-consciousness as the driving force.

"think……"

Su Hanshan's consciousness uttered these two words, exploring the meaning of thinking when his consciousness, soul, body, Yuandan, internal strength, and external energy were all separated.

Thinking does not mean observation and reception, nor does it mean feedback and practice, but it is something in between.

Thinking may not become reality, but it cannot be said to be illusory. As for whether the answers to your thinking are right or wrong, there are countless different perspectives for evaluation.

It seems that it only exists as a buffer bridge between the internal stress response of living beings and the actual situation in the outside world.

It sounds like "thinking" is not a necessary condition for a living thing to survive.

However, it is a necessary condition for seekers.

How can there be a stable and smooth road without a bridge that is built in a makeshift manner?

Without bridges and roads, the inner self of living beings will always be trapped inside. How can they take the initiative to pursue what they want?

Thinking, whether rational or emotional, is not the initial driving force of life, but it is the initial driving force of spiritual practice.

Su Hanshan's consciousness took a step forward. It was unclear whether it was a return to his physical body or an entry into his golden elixir.

At this moment, he could hardly feel any dividing line between his soul, Yuandan, and body.

The next moment, he sat up from the stone and stretched slowly.

In the demon-conquering world, the aura of seven generations of ancestors was transmitted.

"It actually allows two Yuandan to start conceptualization at the same time, very good!"

The Seventh Generation Patriarch praised, "I have offended the Heavenly Limits, so it is not convenient for me to be outside recently. Come to the Demon-Subduing World. I have something to give you."

Su Hanshan slept contentedly and was full of energy. Without further delay, he immediately entered the demon-conquering world and came to the Qiankun Lingtai.

In the spirit platform, the seventh generation ancestor still looks like a boy holding the void, with his arms raised. Between his palms, a statue about three inches high floats.

The statue is pure black and looks like a human head wearing a majestic helmet. On the forehead of the helmet, there is a pattern that looks like an eagle spreading its wings.

However, even in the human face, the carving style is still angular, and the outline is very hard and crude, giving a feeling that it is neither human nor inhuman.

"The Demon-Subduing World has been lost in the Abyss Realm for a long time. You guys have turned the tide, rectified internal affairs, controlled the Demon-Subduing World, and returned to the human world. According to the rules of Tiandu Immortal Palace, your merits should be calculated and recorded in the book."

"You deserve the most credit for this matter. Considering some other fates, this treasure belongs to you."

The Seventh Generation Patriarch said this, observing Su Hanshan with his eyes wide open, and suddenly said, "You don't seem surprised, nor confused."

"It seems like you know what I have in my hand?"

Su Hanshan smiled and said, "I happened to meet Senior Brother Yu from Liaoyuan Peak before and heard some news from him."

Although this treasure is the treasure of Chunyang Peak, it was originally a trophy.

Back then, the Buzhou Palace and the Great Qin Dynasty dominated the Eight Desolations and conquered the Abyss Realm. They exhausted countless manpower and resources to forge the twelve Xuan Emperor Wilderness Gods.

The treasure of Chunyang Peak is the head of one of the Xuan Emperor and the God of Desolation, and it is also its most secret core.

During the founding period of the Great Chu, the Lord of Chunyang Peak invited many friends to refine and transform this treasure so that it could also conform to the inheritance of Tiandu Chunyang, and it has since become the treasure of the mountain.

"Since you know, I won't say more."

The seventh generation ancestor pushed his hand, and the bronze head of the Xuan Emperor turned into a tattoo, which was imprinted on the back of Su Hanshan's right hand, looking very textured.

Now it’s good, there is Tai Chi seal on the left wrist and Xuan Emperor diagram on the back of the right hand.

A strange thought flashed through Su Hanshan's mind, and he felt a little regretful as to why he was not born with eight hands.

Baoxu Tongzi saw the expression on his face, coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "Your Tai Chi Seal is about to be activated. Get ready. I will entrust my consciousness to it. When you travel through time, it is very likely that some changes will occur that are different from before."

Su Hanshan was touching the Xuan Emperor tattoo. Hearing this, he quickly said, "So fast? Wait a minute, I'll send a message."

He took out a Taiyi token, found the group of relatives and friends, and started typing at a very fast speed.

"Don't forget or worry when you go on a long journey. I'll bring you some new gifts when I come back!"
