1. First, the first time to the vast land

The mountain is such a big mountain, towering into the clouds, with a radius of thousands of miles. Huge rocks stand, old trees and vines hang, waterfalls swell, pool shadows are bright, clouds are clear, birds dance in the sky, and beasts appear.

Near the top of the mountain, there is a flat place several meters in a radius, with a strange dark stone in it, which is a very strange person sitting cross-legged.

The sun rises and the moon sets, and the cold and heat are changing. I don’t know how many days have passed, but a consciousness in the strange stone gradually awakens.

I don’t know how many days have passed, and this consciousness has finally come to an end.

This consciousness habitually opened its "eyes", and it was pitch black in front of it, and it was unknown where it was. The consciousness tried to move, but it could not move at all. The consciousness tried again, but there was no result. Instead, it was a burst of sleepy and had to give up trying.

When this consciousness felt energetic again, he no longer tried, but turned to contemplation. It turned out that this consciousness, or this soul, had a name: Sheng Tian. He was originally a teacher from a township middle school. He was introverted, a little scholarly, a little proud, without flattery, and had no servile attitude. Fortunately, he was in school. If he was in the officialdom or the shopping mall, a person like him would have been completely exhausted. He was nearly middle-aged and had a complete family, a wife who was doing some small business, a cute daughter, and an old mother who was nearly sixty years old. If there was no accident, his life would be dull.

But God didn't let him spend this. He was diagnosed with cancer and was in the late stage, which was a heavy blow to the family.

At this time, the consciousness in the strange stone - Sheng Tian - was thinking: Is this hell or the underworld? Why is there nothing, and you can't even move. Can you be like this after death? Without light, sound, and nothing, every bit of life, especially the last period of life, will naturally recall that Sheng Tian was not sad about losing his life. What he thought about was whether his elderly mother could bear the pain of losing his son, whether his lovely daughter would lose the joyful laughter, and how heavy the burden on his wife's shoulders was.

The consciousness that cannot move and is trapped in the dark is the most unbearable thing. It is just that it keeps recalling the little things of the past and sending it to pass the time. I don’t know how many days have passed, Sheng Tian’s consciousness has not gone crazy. It can be said to be a miracle. Of course, this is also due to the fact that Sheng Tian was introverted and had little sociality. He is a person who can endure loneliness.

As time passed, Sheng Tian's consciousness gradually grew stronger and began to practice. Yes, it was cultivation. When Sheng Tian knew that he had cancer, he did not blame others or give up on himself. Instead, he actively cooperated with treatment, learned Tai Chi, and practiced Qigong just to be able to get together with his family. Even so, it only lasted two years for him. Of course, the last two years were the most fulfilling two years. Now, in order to pass this lonely time, Sheng Tian's consciousness regards himself as a human and practices the martial arts he had learned before.

I don’t know the passage of time in the darkness, and only by immersing in cultivation can I feel a little lonely. Not to mention, this cultivation makes the growth of consciousness a little faster.

I don’t know how much time has passed, but suddenly, Sheng Tian’s consciousness felt less dark, and he was as if there was light.

Now, Sheng Tian (just call Sheng Tian) suddenly became excited, feeling that his cultivation had achieved results, and his lonely situation finally changed. This time, he was full of motivation to practice.

As time goes by, consciousness has grown from strong to strong, and the light and shadow in the feeling gradually become clear. Like a holographic movie in science fiction, the perception distance is only small, less than one meter. But this also made Sheng Tian very excited. Although he still couldn't move, it was no longer completely dark, and he could clearly "watch" about one meter around him. Although it was also misty, it was enough to make him happy, making his energy to practice martial arts uncontrollable. With the blessing of the environment, Sheng Tian passed the time by thinking about the past in order to get rid of loneliness, but remembered all the books he had read and did a little seriously before, and was deeply imprinted in his consciousness like a brand.

Now, Sheng Tian practiced the Great Zhoutian Technique in a good manner. Although he had practiced it during his lifetime and had no feelings at all, Sheng Tian felt it was very effective now. This is a martial arts book called "72 Types of Qigong of Famous Masters" that Sheng Tian bought when he was young and frivolous. When he was young, he enthusiastically practiced the martial arts recorded in the book for a period of time, but it had no effect. As he grew older, he naturally threw it aside. He picked it up and practiced again until he was critically ill, hoping that miracles would happen. Although miracles did not happen, they were still deeply reflected. He was familiar with it when he was practicing.

Sheng Tian’s blind practice is really effective. With Sheng Tian’s thoughts, he guides the qi with his mind, and runs according to the meridians in his memory, he doesn’t know whether there is any qi. Sheng Tian himself thinks it is there. First, the small circumference is running, and after he thinks that the small circumference has been opened, the large circumference is started. Not to mention, with Sheng Tian over and over again, day after day, month after month, year after year of practice, his consciousness and strange stones are constantly in line with each other. From the original strange stones like boxes, the consciousness gradually begins to merge into the strange stones. In the end, the consciousness becomes a strange stone. The strange stones have consciousness and no longer distinguish them, they become one. Something like human meridians appear in the strange stones of this amazing person sitting cross-legged. The strange stones are more like a person.

When consciousness and the strange stone were completely integrated, Sheng Tian realized that he had become a stone, and the range that could be "viewed" around him also expanded a lot. The area with a radius of about one meter is not hidden at all, and it is completely reflected in Sheng Tian's consciousness.

Sheng Tian was also shocked that he had turned into a stone. After being surprised, he had all kinds of guesses and traveled through time? This seemed acceptable. (I admired many time travel novels) But knowing nothing about the environment made him a little overwhelmed. He didn't know what environment he was in or his identity. The guess about his identity included the famous monkey, but it was just unreasonable guess. The guess had no effect on Sheng Tian at the moment. The important thing at the moment was to figure out the environment he was in so that he could have the next plan.

Cultivation, practice, during practice, he feels the scope of perception expanding little by little, and every bit of gain turns into the driving force of cultivation. Sheng Tian is very happy to feel that the scope of perception expands little by little.

After practicing the Great Zhoutian once, Sheng Tian tried to practice the "Wudang Mingmu Gong" in "72 Types of Famous Qigong" for a while. After completing the exercise, his eyes lit up, and the space of perception seemed to be much clearer.

After the practice, Sheng Tian added the Mingyu Technique after exercising Zhoutian Gong. The scope of Sheng Tian's perception has expanded a lot compared to before, reaching a radius of more than ten feet, and sparse vegetation began to appear on the ground. This is an amazing change, no longer monotonous, but also has vitality. How encouraging this to Sheng Tian, ​​who has been in loneliness for a long time.

As the days pass, Shengtian's perception continues to expand. At this time, Shengtian's perception range has reached dozens of miles. You can clearly "see" forests, ravines, hanging waterfalls, ponds, beasts, birds, those you have seen and never seen before are full of vitality, but there is no sound. No matter how the beasts you are roaring, how the birds sing, how the waterfalls sway, and how the giant trees sway, they are just silent, without a trace of sound.

In later practice, Sheng Tian added the skills of practicing ears, paying homage to the blessing of the famous qigong, which included many aspects of practice.

I don’t know how long it has passed after the boring years of cultivation.

On this day, Sheng Tian woke up from his practice and was ready to "see" the scenery as usual. Suddenly, he seemed to hear a trace of sound. Sheng Tian was stunned. It was really the sound, the sound of the wind blowing.

I don’t know how many dark days I have lived. Through unremitting efforts, I can feel a silent world and make myself happy. I can hear the sound, which really makes Sheng Tian cry with joy, although there are no tears.

In the days since then, Sheng Tian still couldn't move, but he was no longer monotonous. After finishing his practice every day, he would look at the scenery in the mountains, see the battles of various powerful creatures, and listen to the roars and thunder of beasts. But when I watched the clouds roll and unfold, I was still motionless, and it was really comfortable.

Suddenly, a powerful force descended from the sky. If Sheng Tian was not a stone, he would have been pressed to the ground. A voice sounded from the bottom of his heart: "I, Taoist Hongjun, have now attained enlightenment and will preach the way of sentient beings in Zixiao Palace in a thousand years. Those who are destined to come to Zixiao Palace to listen."
