Under One Person: The River Map and Luoshu

"Don't be in a hurry. Let me ask you a question first. As you have walked along the way, do you feel more and more energetic?" Du Heng asked, looking at everyone.

Ike just shook his head, "No!"

"You don't count, so you have no reference value." Du Heng glanced at him indifferently.

"Alright!" Ike felt like he was stabbed and quietly stepped aside to lick his wound.

Fuck, it is said that those who lag behind will be beaten, but the weak do not even have human rights. He must wait for the opportunity to enter the valley, an opportunity to become an alien, not to tell others how great he is, but to get back the dignity and human rights he lost.

Everyone ignored his psychological changes and recalled the feelings along the way, not missing a single detail. It would have been fine if he had not returned to the province, but once he returned, he really realized something was wrong.

"I do feel that way. Compared to the past when I would feel a little tired after traveling for a long time, here I not only don't feel tired, but I am full of energy all the time."

"I have it too!"

"Me too!"

Catherine recounted her experience, Sean agreed, and Xiao Chong followed closely behind.

Then Du Heng explained: "This is because the aura of this place is invisibly affecting our own situation, and the situation will become more obvious after entering the valley. Simply put, it is subtly transforming a person."

Swish!
Sean and the others all looked at Ike. It was obvious that they all understood what Du Heng meant. Catherine said directly: "So, Ike has shown signs of transforming from an ordinary person into an alien?"

When Ike heard this, he immediately stood up and asked, "Really?"

For this reason, he even pretended to punch, but the result was still "impotence" like before, his face fell again, and he became weak in an instant.

"Why can't I feel anything at all?"

“Oh!” Du Heng sneered, “Don’t get me wrong, this is just a sign, just like when a person feels refreshed after a long sleep. Let alone becoming an alien, he can’t even become an alien.”

"Okay, we get it!"

Catherine nodded, then changed her tone, "But Du, maybe you should be more tactful in your words. Ike is still an ordinary person, and it's easy to discourage him. And I remember that you Orientals are always very tactful in your words, so tactful that no one can find fault with you."

"This is not to take care of you international friends, or to be more precise, illegal immigrants."

"Du, you agreed not to mention it, why are you bringing it up again?" Sean was helpless. Although he came in openly, what he did was not open at all. This stain on his life might not be washed away for a long time.

Catherine's blue eyes were full of sadness, and she said dissatisfiedly: "Du, please be a gentleman. You made me feel very attractive before, but now you don't."

"It's my fault!"

After talking about the side topic, Du Heng continued to talk about the main business, saying: "In fact, the correct route to enter the valley is hidden in this change. As long as you can follow the direction of the energy channels in the energy bureau, that is, follow this feeling, it means that you are on the right route."

"So this is how you got here safely?" Catherine asked in surprise.

Du Heng uttered two words expressionlessly, "No!"

"Uh." Sean and the others twitched their lips. They were confused by him.

Catherine rolled her blue eyes slightly and said speechlessly: "You said it so confidently, we thought you would."

"Saying something and doing something are two different things, OK?"

If Du Heng had this ability, why would he ask Zhang Chulan for directions? Or even bring the baby along just to be on the safe side?

He couldn't think of anyone other than Wu Gensheng who could follow the direction of the Qi in the Qi Bureau. After all, this person was born with an unbelievable sensitivity to Qi. Xiao En saw that the topic was going off the topic again, so he quickly pulled it back.

"Du, you should tell me what is qi situation and pattern. After all, we are foreigners, and it is difficult for us to understand what you are talking about qi channels. We need to look at the problem with the answer in mind."

"Look, you're anxious again!" Du Heng felt that he was just like a ghost-chaser. It's okay for readers to urge him, but why are you urging them?
Without further ado, he continued, "In our Eastern Qi-refining system, this world is made up of dead and living things, and regardless of whether it is dead or alive, nothing in this world is static; everything is changing.

However, due to their characteristics, dead objects can only passively accept the changes brought about by nature. For example, stones, metals, bones, etc., endure the erosion of time, and will weather, change, and decay. This is also a kind of change.

But living things are different, macroscopic plants and animals, microscopic bacteria, etc., they can choose, they can adapt to escape or resist changes, just like people will become stronger if they exercise, and will become weaker if they slack off. In short, living things will actively change, just because there is a flow of innate Qi in their bodies. "

The few people only understood half of what Du Heng said, knowing only that he had been talking about changes. They were still confused about the overall situation and were wandering around without entering it.

Catherine's green eyes sparkled with curiosity, and her seductive red lips moved slightly, "So? What exactly is the Qi Bureau?"

Wang on the side also interjected, "What Lao Du is talking about is the situation of Qi."

"Ah, is that the end?" Sean and the others were dumbfounded, feeling like they had been fooled.

Wang Ye shook his head calmly and said, "My friends are not Qi practitioners, let alone sorcerers, so it is difficult for you to understand these crude things. Simply put, Qi is formed by the innate Qi generated by living things flowing through the body while the inanimate objects solidify their form. From a perspective beyond time, the Qi formed by the combination of inanimate objects and living things is just a special pattern formed in a certain place during a certain period of time."

Sean and the others seemed to understand, but not quite. They had some understanding of the first sentence he said, but when they heard the second sentence, they were confused again.

Catherine raised her head and stared, holding her chin with her chest held high. "Transcending time? How can you see it? Are you Eastern Qi practitioners pursuing such a profound truth?"

"Uh." Wang Ye smacked his lips, unable to continue speaking. It was completely about that and then he threw the question back.

"Lao Du, you should come."

Du Heng rolled his eyes at him, thinking to himself, "I told you to butt in for no reason. Are you pretending to be a troublemaker? You can't handle this kind of thing. You have to let me do it."

"To look at time, we have to break the ordinary people's concept of time. It is not measured in seconds, minutes, and hours. In the eyes of a sorcerer, time is change. It is better to say that it transcends change than to say that it transcends time. We have a saying here, which is called the way of Yin and Yang. You should have heard of it?"

"Yeah!" Catherine and others nodded.

After all, Eastern Qi Refining is one of the two major systems in the alien world, and it is even more complete than the alchemy system. If you want to survive in the alien world and don’t understand some Eastern traditional culture, you will easily feel inferior when you tell others about it.

"This yin and yang can be extended to many interpretations, and we will only take one of them. Yin and yang are the combination of constants and variables. When constants and variables are combined, it becomes an independent and complete pattern."

Du Heng then raised a finger and said, "Give me an example. What should ordinary people prepare to surf the Internet?"

As an ordinary person, Ike had more say than anyone else and answered confidently: "Money!"

The words fell.

The atmosphere is mysterious and quiet!
Several glances came over, making Ike scared. His self-confidence disappeared in an instant and he wouldn't come out no matter how he called.

"Did I say this wrongly?"

Du Heng replied expressionlessly: "If you think this way, I advise you to give up the idea of ​​becoming an alien."

"Ah, it can't be that serious?" Ike's face turned pale.

Du Heng ignored him and let him stand there in panic, continuing the previous topic: "If you want to go online, you naturally have to buy a computer, and if you have a computer, you have to connect it to the Internet via a cable. If the computer is called a constant of the pattern, then the Internet cable is a variable of the pattern. Only in this way can you successfully go online, which means forming an independent and complete pattern."

"When you put it that way, I understand what a pattern is. Just like a person, the organs, tissues and gas flow of the human body are an independent and complete pattern. Right?" Catherine asked with a blink of her blue eyes. (End of this chapter)
