The copy of the universe from the journey to the west
Chapter 116 Tracking the traces to find the god's head, seeing the bear and the bird again
Chapter 116 Tracking the traces to find the god's head, seeing the bear and the bird again (asking for a monthly ticket)
Lu Chen checked on the Internet and found that although Shentou Village was Qi in ancient times, it did not belong to Donglu Province in modern times, but to Cangcheng City in Beihe Province.
There is a prefecture-level city between it and Quancheng City.
"It's not far, why don't you go and take a look?"
As soon as he thought about it, Lu Chen wanted to do it. His heart moved as he wished, and he followed the navigation all the way to the west.
This time, with a specific goal, Lu Chen no longer planned to walk slowly.
The magic power flowed in his legs, and with the addition of wind spells, he seemed to be walking lightly, but with one step, he was like a phantom and appeared a hundred meters away.
Using his divine sense to observe his surroundings, even if there were obstacles ahead, Lu Chen would go around them in time.
Sometimes when you pass by someone, the darkness blocks your vision and that person only feels a flash before his eyes and a gust of wind and waves disappear in an instant.
I just thought it was a gust of wind and didn't think anything else about it.
Lu Chen's speed has far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. In less than half an hour, he has already left the scope of Quancheng.
Therefore, the Martial Arts Department searched the area near Qinjia Village but found no trace of Lu Chen. Zheng Faming could only sigh helplessly.
However, he also had a few more ideas in his mind, but he needed to meet Taoist Ruchen before he could ask them.
……
Changqing District of Quancheng is not close to Cangzhou, a full 300 kilometers away.
If you drive there, it will take more than three hours, and that's if you take the highway. If you don't take the highway and take the off-road, it will take more than five hours.
Lu Chen's speed is only faster than that of the car!
Even though he stopped twice to recover his magic power, it only took him five hours to reach Shentou Village.
But the time was just past three in the morning, and the whole village was shrouded in darkness.
Lu Chen did not disturb the people in the village, but walked around here first.
Although Shentou Village is not big, it is home to many historical sites, including thousand-year-old trees standing at the entrance of the village, small bridges and flowing water, and many buildings with historical traces.
Lu Chen walked around and saw buildings from several different dynasties. Although most of them were decayed and their original appearance could not be seen, the traces left by them made Lu Chen notice something unusual.
“Can ancient buildings also possess magical powers?”
Lu Chen sensed it with his spiritual sense, but did not find any sensation like the Bian Que mask in Qinjia Village.
It was probably just the impact of the ancient aura that made him feel strange.
After understanding this, Lu Chen no longer paid much attention to these ancient buildings.
Although he is a designer in the construction industry, he only designs curtain walls. He has a general understanding of these ancient buildings and just wandered around here with the mentality of tourism.
Shentou Village is a tourist village, and there are tourist maps at the entrance and inside the village.
Lu Chen walked around the village according to the instructions on the maps, but it was night and he couldn't see anything. After walking around for a while, he came straight to the most famous place in Shentou Village - Shenying Bian Que Temple.
The Bian Que Temple has been renovated, and there is a clay statue standing outside. It is not Bian Que, but the statue is introduced as Bian Que's disciple.
Lu Chen didn't care much. Although the gate of Bian Que Temple was closed from the inside, it couldn't stop Lu Chen.
With a light tap of the foot, the body seemed to be blown by a gust of wind and floated into the temple.
Lu Chen walked around the Bian Que Temple again, but saw only buildings and clay statues, without much to discover.
"Yes, how is it possible to find extraordinary objects everywhere?"
Lu Chen shook his head.
But I feel like I'm thinking too much.
The temple fair in Qinjia Town is not big, and it is mainly attended by local people. Others also go there because of its reputation.
However, Shentou Village is a tourist area. If there is a temple fair, the number of tourists can reach tens of thousands every day. The Shenying Bian Que Temple has been renovated and expanded countless times.
It’s hard to tell how many of the objects here are old.
Lu Chen shook his head and prepared to leave to continue his journey of appreciating nature.
But just as he was about to walk out of the main hall, Lu Chen sensed someone coming in from outside the hall.
Lu Chen's heart moved, and he did not go out again. He did not want to be mistaken for a thief. He stood up and landed on the beam of the main temple.
Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh in his heart. This time he really became a knight in shining armor.
Just as he stepped onto the beam, an old man in his fifties, dressed in a Tang suit, walked in and said to himself in confusion: "Wasn't it closed yesterday? Why is it still open? This is weird..."
This old man is obviously a temple keeper or a temple priest.
After entering the door, he skillfully took out three incense sticks from the altar beside him, lit them, and then respectfully placed them on the incense table on the altar.
Then he knelt respectfully on the cushion and kowtowed three times.
Cross your hands, sit cross-legged, clasp your hands in a circle, and start breathing in and out.
Lu Chen was stunned.
"Practicing Jinggong?"
Lu Chen sensed it with his spiritual sense and found that it was not a static practice, in fact, it was not even a practice method.
At most, it is a way to maintain health. If practiced for a long time, it can prolong life, but it cannot condense essence or internal strength.
However, if it weren't for the arrival of the copy of the heavens, even this breathing technique could be considered a rather magical one.
Seeing this, Lu Chen did not leave immediately. Instead, he watched the old man breathe for a while, then stood up and started practicing boxing in the hall.
This time, Lu Chen frowned.
"Bear Sutra Bird Stretch Technique?"
Sometimes the boxing moves are like a bear pouncing, sometimes like a bird flying. It looks like boxing, but it is 70% similar to the Bear and Bird Stretch Technique that Senior Brother Zhinan demonstrated for him in the mountains!
Moreover, when the old man was punching, a force was slowly flowing in his body, but Lu Chen clearly did not sense this force just now!
Lu Chen became more and more curious.
After boxing for a while, the old man was obviously a little tired. After wiping off the sweat, he closed his eyes and breathed for a while to regain his spirit.
At this time, the sky outside the hall began to brighten.
It's almost dawn.
Not far away, there was the faint sound of roosters crowing in the village.
When the old man heard the rooster crow, he stopped practicing, got up and went out.
This time the door was not closed. Lu Chen came down from the beam with a frown on his face.
"It's really the Bear Sutra and Bird Stretch Technique!"
He was not mistaken, this was indeed the Bear Sutra and Bird Stretch Technique!
Although Senior Brother Zhinan had never told him the inner secrets of the Bear Meridian and Bird Stretch Technique due to the Qin family rules, he did not avoid Lu Chen when practicing external skills.
The old man's movements and posture just now were almost exactly the same as the standard Bear Meridian and Bird Stretch Technique performed by Senior Brother Zhinan.
The 30% difference was not that there was a difference between the Bear Meridian and Bird Stretch Techniques on both sides, but that Lu Chen felt that the old man was practicing it incorrectly.
There were some places where he clearly needed to bend his legs and tighten his abdomen, but he didn't do it.
Moreover, some of the movements are extremely difficult and hard for ordinary people to perform, let alone an old man who looks to be in his fifties, so they have been partially simplified.
"That's interesting."
Lu Chen's brows gradually relaxed.
He remembered that Senior Brother Zhinan had said that the technique of Bear Stretching and Bird Stretching could also be used to seek the way to become an immortal.
Lu Chen was naturally very interested in this.
In the world of Journey to the West, Lu Chen didn't want to embarrass his senior brother Zhinan, so he didn't ask about the core of the matter.
But in this world...
"It is not good to learn secretly. You can ask openly. If possible, you might as well learn from him. Others can polish jade with stones. My way is the way of sudden enlightenment. I need to create a path that suits me."
Lu Chen's thoughts turned and he had an idea in his mind.
Then, when no one noticed, he left the Shenying Bianque Temple, and then left Shentou Village.
He didn't walk far before turning around and starting over again.
This time, he walked over like a normal tourist.
This time, the target is directly the Shenying Bian Que Temple!
By this time the sun had already appeared, and several tourists were already queuing up to buy tickets, waiting for the Bian Que Temple to open, ready to burn the first incense of the day.
Lu Chen also bought a ticket and waited behind.
"Oh, man, you're here too?"
When Lu Chen heard the sound, he looked and saw a couple behind him looking at him in surprise.
Lu Chen was also quite surprised: "It's you?"
This couple was exactly the same couple that Lu Chen met when he was buying baked potatoes in Qinjia Town.
"Yes. It's fate."
The couple smiled and said to Lu Chen: "My name is Qin Mian, her name is Qin Yue, we are both members of the Qin family. Our ancestors are all Bian Que."
Lu Chen was surprised: "Are you not a couple?"
When he was in Qinjia Town, he clearly saw that the two were in a relationship. Qin Mian smiled and said, "We are a couple. Although our ancestors are both Bian Que, who says that the descendants of Bian Que can't be in a relationship?"
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
The descendants of Bian Que have been around for more than two thousand years, and it's not like people with the same surname cannot get married.
The practice of close relative marriage among royal families in ancient dynasties was a bit too much.
In modern times, as long as the five degrees of mourning have passed, it is common for people from the same clan to get married. Sometimes, let alone the five degrees of mourning, there are even marriages within the third degree of mourning.
Lu Chen clasped his fists apologetically: "Sorry, I misunderstood."
"It's okay. I didn't make it clear the first time."
Qin Mian looked very outgoing, but Qin Yue was a little shy. She was too embarrassed to talk to people, so she kept hugging one of Qin Mian's shoulders, lowering her head and looking a little shy.
According to Qin Mian, the two got married while traveling.
Because there are records about our ancestors saying that they were all Bian Que.
So I planned to visit all the attractions related to Bian Que. They were able to be together because of their ancestors, so I wanted to tell the ancestors that their descendants are now together.
The first place they visited was Qinjia Town.
The second one is Shentou Village.
After watching the performance in Qinjia Village yesterday, they drove directly from Qinjia Village to Shentou Village overnight.
"If we had known that you were going to Shentou Village, we would have taken you with us."
Qin Mian smiled and said, "This way, I can also get some sleep on the way."
Qin Yue blushed.
She didn't have a driver's license, so she didn't know how to drive, and Qin Mian drove for the entire three hours.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Why don't you take a break before coming back?"
“When offering incense to ancestors, one must be sincere.”
Qin Mian shook his head: "Besides, we don't have much vacation time, so we plan to go on a special forces tour."
"Great!"
Lu Chen gave a thumbs up in admiration.
Special forces soldiers who travel are all ruthless people.
Qin Mian also laughed: "We drove here and arrived at two in the morning. We slept for a while. It's you, Brother Lu, who drove here overnight. If your last name wasn't Lu, I would have thought you were also a member of our Qin family."
"I am...a member of the Qin family." Lu Chen nodded.
I’m sorry, Brother Zhinan, it’s not customary to call someone “senior brother” nowadays.
Qin Mian asked curiously: "Oh? What is his generation?"
"I don't know either." Lu Chen shook his head: "But I guess I can't argue with you."
If the seniority in the world of Journey to the West is the same as that in the modern world, then Senior Brother Zhinan would be many generations older than Qin Mian.
Want to check seniority?
Then I can only look for the word in the family tree.
"The door...the door is open." Qin Yue, who had been silent, pointed at the door.
Lu Chen looked at Qin Yue with some surprise.
His reaction didn't even catch up with Qin Yue's?
After carefully sensing with his divine sense, he discovered that Qin Yue was not a cultivator, but a person with spiritual roots without a shell!
"He is actually a person with a talent for cultivation."
Lu Chen glanced at Qin Yue again.
But I was afraid of misunderstanding, so I didn't look at it more.
For most ordinary people, their spirituality is self-generated, but their roots are locked in the shell.
If you want to practice, you must first break the shell.
For example, all the fellow disciples in Sanxing Cave were born with spiritual roots without shells. In an environment like Journey to the West, if they entered the door of cultivation, their cultivation speed would be much faster than those with roots and shells.
In modern times, having spiritual roots without shells only means that one’s spirituality is more abundant and one can learn things faster.
This is what people often say: someone who can learn anything at once and has great talent.
Sometimes, some people with special powers will appear, which is actually a manifestation of their spiritual roots having no shell.
Because they have no shell, sometimes by chance, spirituality is automatically generated, and they possess some magical methods, thus becoming people with superpowers. Qin Yue is such an example. Although he has not yet developed superpowers, his perception exceeds that of ordinary people.
Of course, this does not mean that her spirituality is stronger than Lu Chen.
It is only because Lu Chen is a cultivator who has transformed his spirituality into divine consciousness and has also restrained it. However, Qin Yue's spirituality is not restrained and is spreading everywhere.
In the world of Journey to the West, there are many people with supernatural powers.
Although they have not embarked on the path of spiritual practice, they often experience some supernatural states.
But in the modern world, this situation rarely happens.
Lu Chen guessed that there might be a difference between the spiritual charm of heaven and earth in the two worlds.
The spiritual charm of heaven and earth in the world of Journey to the West is rich. The spiritual roots of those who are born without a shell can easily be nourished by the spiritual charm of heaven and earth, or they can swallow some rare treasures and their roots will grow naturally.
In modern society, there is less spiritual charm of heaven and earth, let alone the natural treasures.
Naturally, there is nothing to nourish the spiritual roots, the roots cannot grow, and naturally not many supernatural powers can be obtained.
Qin Yue's spiritual roots were of the typical type that had grown, but not much.
Of course, in modern times, the shell of the spiritual root can also be forcibly broken. For example, the spiritual medium system that Anne practiced directly broke the "spiritual shell" and awakened the spiritual perception, but it did not break the "root shell". This is also a feature of the Western practice system. Spiritual perception is spiritual perception, and is not closely related to the physical body.
The legal system and the system are almost two systems that don't want to work with each other.
It is not like the immortal method practiced by Lu Chen. Although it focuses on cultivating the nature, the practice of nature will also lead to the improvement of the body and life.
Lu Chen didn't look at it too carefully.
Although those who are born without shells are rare, they do exist. Among the billions of people on the entire Blue Planet, it is not too rare to have tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people without shells.
Turn and look towards the door.
The person who opened the door was the old man who practiced the Bear Sutra and Bird Stretch Technique that Lu Chen saw.
Lu Chen and the other two followed the crowd in, while everyone else rushed to the main hall, ready to burn incense and pray.
But Lu Chen and the other two did not move. Qin Mian thought that Lu Chen was waiting for them, so he said to Lu Chen: "We two want to talk to this old man to see if we can continue the family tree. You don't have to wait for us."
"I have something to ask him too." Lu Chen replied, "Well, my friend asked me to do that."
The old man looked at the three people in confusion: "Are you here to see me?"
It was the first time he met someone who came to the temple not to burn incense, but to find him specifically.
Qin Mian smiled and said, "We are both from the Qin family, but our ancestors split up and moved to other places. I heard from the elders in the family that they split up from Shentou Village, so I thought of coming here to ask."
The old man smiled and said, "You have come to the wrong place. This is Shentou Village, but no one here has the last name Qin."
Qin Mian nodded and said, "I know, it was two people from other villages who merged together. They were gravekeepers. But our ancestors also told us the truth."
The old man frowned and thought for a while: "Then you may not be talking about Shentou Village, but Queshan Village. It was indeed the Qin family many years ago, but now there is no Qinjia Village on Queshan."
As he spoke, he shook his head regretfully: "During several wars, some of the Qin family left and some died. There are no Qin family members here anymore."
Qin Mian was a little disappointed, but still thanked him. Then he said to Lu Chen, "Then we will go in first."
Lu Chen separated from the two and said to the old man, "Old man, I heard that there is a kung fu here that can be practiced. Do you know how to do it?"
"Kung Fu? What kind of Kung Fu do we have here?"
The old man laughed and said, "What kind of Kung Fu is not there in the Dungeon of the Universe? Now many young people in our village have gone out to learn Kung Fu. There is even a Chosen One in our village. However, I don't know the Kung Fu you are talking about."
Lu Chen corrected him, "Uncle, you misunderstood. The Kung Fu I'm talking about is not martial arts, but the one you practiced... the Bear Sutra and Bird Stretch Technique?"
"Oh, you mean the Yang Shen Gong. It does teach you how to do bear exercises and bird stretches, but now the old people in the village find it too confusing to pronounce, so they just call it Yang Shen Gong."
The old man smiled without hiding anything: "Many people in our village know how to do it, but this kind of health-preserving exercise is just talk. The older generation just talks about it for fun, and not many people can really do it well."
Cangcheng City is a well-known hometown of martial arts. When the old man was young, he often met many martial artists. The Bajiquan, Baguazhang and other martial arts in other villages were all very famous when they were told about.
On the contrary, the health-preserving exercises of Shentou Village are nothing among them. They are just the most common kung fu to strengthen the body.
Lu Chen was speechless.
"Can't beat Bajiquan or Baguaquan?"
That’s because you didn’t practice correctly!
It's just like the Taoists in the Taoist temple. If they practice correctly and find the right way, they can ascend to become immortals. But if they don't know the trick to practice, they are just an old Taoist priest.
The master brings you to the door, but the practice is up to you.
There are many methods that can lead to enlightenment, but later generations have not been able to practice them to the fullest, and have only thought of them as ordinary methods to lay the foundation.
For example, the Tao Te Ching makes ordinary people dizzy when reading it, but scholars can see the moral implications that people should abide by, scholars can understand the ideological realm of their predecessors, and practitioners can find out the relationship between man and heaven and achieve self-perfection.
In different realms, the things you look at are always different.
