Douluo's Long Night

Chapter 23 Departure to the Promise Forest (Revised)
The more things you focus on at the same time, the easier it is to have distracting thoughts, so you don't need to suppress your thinking, just observe.

Just remain in the state of being aware of the involuntary thought as it arises.

Xu Junfang remembered a sentence he heard in his previous life.

"Thinking is both powerful and weak. If you want to suppress it, it is extremely powerful. But as long as you can see it and do nothing, just watch it, it will slowly fade away by itself."

"That's called viewing."

"Like the surface of water, if you want to fiddle with it, it will be roughed by you...

Your consciousness just sits high on the altar and watches it, let it wave to and fro and don't respond to it.

It will eventually return to peace because it has nothing to do with you. At this time, you are at ease!
Facing the numerous and delusional thoughts with inaction, you will finally be free. You who are free are definitely not a piece of dead wood. You who are free can do everything. "

Viewing the law is closely related to viewing "thinking".

There is only one word to sum up internal cultivation in the world,

Look.

But different views will lead to fundamental differences in the results, which is also the origin of many schools in the previous life, and they must not be confused because they are all on the surface.

Nor can one easily judge the merits of a method because of differences in views.

Some views regard the body as the country, let the spiritual consciousness take care of the whole world with inaction like a holy king, and get pure.

Some try to see the truth contained in everything around them, and finally seek the truth of the world through such accumulation.

The contemplation practiced by Xu Junfang is obtained from a Taoist temple. The effect is to focus the consciousness on one object, which is called samadhi.

By focusing on this object, you can in turn improve your own power of observation.

The deeper the power of observation and the stronger the power of concentration, the more transparent Xu Junfang can see.

The ability to get is
see through.

In his previous life, Xu Junfang couldn't see through, but he could see things that ordinary people couldn't see.

Congenital Qi is lively and natural, and it is this lively nature that brings vitality to life.
This constantly diverging and changing vitality is called atmosphere.

Even if they are sensitive, ordinary people can only vaguely feel the atmosphere.

But Xu Junfang can clearly see the atmosphere with his improved vision.

All the hidden attack methods of the enemy will be displayed in Xu Junfang's eyes with gas distortion. In this way, he can be prepared and can see clearly those attack methods that are usually invisible to the eyes.

Therefore, apart from cultivating soul power every day, Xu Junfang also spends part of his time sitting cross-legged on the altar with his spiritual consciousness to watch his own thoughts, which is also known as meditation.

.........

The morning passed in a flash, and after lunch and rest, Xu Junfang was ready to hunt for soul rings with the people prepared by his grandfather.

In fact, Xu Huangchen deliberately took Xu Junfang to hunt soul beasts, but as the Platinum Bishop, he had to deal with more important matters, so he couldn't get away for a while, so he had to send his subordinates to follow Xu Junfang into the Star Dou Forest.

Judging from the manpower escorting Xu Junfang this time, Xu Huangchen still pays great attention to Xu Junfang's safety:
Luo Mu Shuyu, an eight-ring soul fighter, and two cardinals Lu You and Lu Liang, two seven-ring soul saints.

Among them, Luo Mu Shuyu, the eight-ring soul fighter, is Xu Huangchen's confidant and half of Xu Huangchen's housekeeper.

It was a retainer taken in by Grandpa Xu Junfang when he was in his 40s, and now he is about 60 years old. These days, Mu Shuyu is the one who takes care of Xu Junfang's daily life, and he is not a stranger after a few times.

"Young master, let's go to the Everlasting Forest."

While talking, Mu Shuyu drove a soul beast carriage over.

"Old Mu, what large soul beast forests are there in the Star Luo Empire?"

Asking questions, Xu Junfang got into the car with the three soul masters.

The groom had someone else, Xu Junfang and the three soul masters were all sitting in the carriage behind him.

Seeing Xu Junfang's doubts, Mu Shuyu answered patiently: "If you want to talk about the gathering place of spirit beasts, the Star Dou Forest is the first to bear the brunt, although we won't go here this time."

"The Star Dou Great Forest is one of the three most famous soul beast settlements in our Douluo Continent. It has a very large area, spanning the borders of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. Two fifths of the area is in the Heaven Dou Empire, The other three-fifths are in our Star Luo Empire."

"In addition to the Star Dou Great Forest, there is also a Panlong Great Forest in the southern part of the Star Luo Empire. That forest is located in a tropical area, and the soul beasts in it are also biased towards fire-attributed soul beasts. In addition, it is far away from Star Luo City, so We didn't choose this forest."

"Besides, there are many soul beast forests raised by the empire in the Star Luo Empire. It is said that the empire is actually raised by the Wuhun Palace. Most of the soul beasts in it are not so advanced, but they are very suitable for your needs to obtain soul rings at this stage, young master. .”

"The Promise Forest we are going to is a captive forest with very diverse species. The most important thing is that there are many thunder-attribute soul beasts to choose from."

Xu Junfang suddenly nodded.

Then Mu Shuyu began to explain a few forests he was familiar with one by one, and Xu Junfang took this opportunity to memorize all the knowledge in his mind.

Although it is said to be close, it will take three days to travel from Star Luo City to Wuji Forest by horse-drawn carriage.

Xu Junfang realized that during these three days, he could consult Grandpa Mu Shuyu about the basic power situation and distribution of empires in the Star Luo Empire or Douluo Continent.

Xu Junfang said: "Old Mu, can you tell me something about the situation in the Star Luo Empire? What kingdoms and principalities, noble families, distribution of soul masters, etc."

"Hehe, the young master is not young, but he has a strong thirst for knowledge. Alright, let me give you a brief introduction."

A smile appeared on Mu Shuyu's old face.

"First of all, let's talk about our Star Luo Empire. There are five major kingdoms and two duchies in the Star Luo Empire, the Kingdom of Atlanta in the west, the Kingdom of Odin in the east, the Kingdom of Grant in the center, the Kingdom of Padel in the north, and the largest Ayers in the south. kingdom."

"There is a principality under the Kingdom of Grant and the Kingdom of Ayers. The Star Luo Empire has fifteen provinces in total, which is slightly larger than the Heaven Dou Empire. Each of these five kingdoms occupies one province, and there are two remaining. The principality occupies a total of one and a half provinces."

"The remaining seven and a half provinces will be under the control of the Star Luo Empire, and the rest of the duke kingdoms dare not make mistakes..."

"...And when it comes to the nobles and royal families of Star Luo, there are very unique terms. Apart from the royal family, the Star Luo Empire has a total of four top families."

"This includes your mother's family, Young Master, the Condor Luo family."

"Luo Family's Patriarch Luo Pan, that is, your grandfather, is the right chancellor of the Star Luo Empire."

"The other three families are the Xingguan Xu family, the Lingmao Zhu family, and the Dragon Stick Wang family."

"Of the four major families, the Xingguan Xu family is the most important, because it is actually the current family of the Xingguanzong."

"Besides, one of the three sects in Douluo Continent, although the Clear Sky School is located in Tiandou, there is a vague intention to support the Star Luo Empire. Three of the next four schools, the Star Crown School, the Wind Sword School, the Fire School The Leopard Sect is also within the territory of the empire, and it is connected with our Spirit Hall."

"I also heard that every generation of the Star Luo royal family is married to the civet family of Zhu, who has been queen for generations."

"..."

Xu Junfang asked questions along the way, and Mu Shuyu answered them in an extremely harmonious and fulfilling way.

The other two guarding soul saints were lacking in nature and didn't speak much.

After three days of slipping away from the carriage, Xu Junfang had already seen the destination of their trip.

The Promise Forest.

Ahead is the border entrance of the Promise Forest.
