When we were at the entrance of the cave, the smell was still very strong, a strong stench.
But after entering the cave, the smell became lighter.
The further down we went, the smell became less and less, but the temperature became lower and lower, so low that it made me shiver.
I quickly circulated my yin energy to protect my whole body.
"Senior, where is this?"
I looked at the senior who had been walking in front.
"This is the Xuanbing Cave."
He was walking in front, and the light in front of him was getting brighter and brighter, and it was aqua blue, even beautiful, but it was very cold, and his whole body was shaking.
He said: "You can call me Yue Yangzi or Taoist Master Yueyang.
I am a Taoist priest of the Quanzhen Longmen Sect."
"Okay, Senior Yueyang."
I looked at the edge of the cave wall.
I could already see blue shiny crystals on the cave wall, like diamond crystals.
I said, "Is this some kind of ice cube?"
"Xuan Bing" He didn't look back or stop, but continued to walk forward, saying as he walked.
"What is Xuan Bing?"
I'm not nagging, I just want to know the truth.
"This kind of thing does not exist in nature.
We have an idiom called Tao Fa Tong Xuan.
This word Xuan can only be understood but not expressed.
This kind of thing is beyond human understanding and cannot be explained by science.
Just think of him as ordinary ice," Taoist Master Yueyang said.
"Then can you tell me where this thing comes from?"
I am really curious, how can there be ice under the desert?
If this ice is burned with fire, will it turn into water?
Can it be drunk?
Is it effective?
"This thing is the energy crystallization of the great formation that was set up back then.
Due to the abundant power of the great formation, the energy accumulated, and over time this kind of black ice was formed."
Taoist Priest Yueyang said: "General people cannot touch this kind of thing.
Yeah, you can't be sucked by anyone either.
Collect, under the sunlight, it directly turns into gas.
Taoists can use them, but if they are not absorbed properly, they will be poisoned and die.
The gases just ignited are not liquefied gas or methane, but Xuanqi, emitted by Xuanbing.
The gas comes out.”
After some explanation, I roughly knew the origin of this kind of thing, but it completely overturned my understanding.
This is neither the kind of ice that freezes in nature, nor the kind of ice that crystallizes in chemistry.
Then as I walked further inside, I felt that it was not just the temperature that dropped, but that with every step I took, the pressure seemed to increase.
It seemed that there was resistance everywhere, and it took a lot of effort to take a step.
"This is a place with extremely rich profound energy.
If you practice here, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Taoist Master Yueyang said: "The pressure and gravity here are several times heavier than outside.
The human body is not easy to absorb this kind of mysterious energy, but You should be able to absorb it, because I found that the qi in your body is not true qi, but a cold gas, which should be similar to the profound qi."
My movements were very slow, because my actions were under several times the pressure, but I found that Taoist Master Yueyang's speed was as usual, and it seemed that he was not affected at all, so I asked him: "Senior, why are you not affected by the pressure at all?"
The influence of this mysterious energy" "Because I'm used to it.

I've been here for a long time.
From the beginning when I was just like you, to now I can move freely.
This profound energy is like the air I breathe in.
It's extremely relaxed."
"Can I ask you a question?"
I thought for a moment and said.
"Just ask."
"Are you really from the early years of the Republic of China?
If you were, you would be over a hundred years old by now, but you look only in your fifties or sixties, and you don't know what is happening outside.
You seem to be isolated from the world.
Same."
I thought for a while and told him my inner doubts.
"It's all the effect of this mysterious energy.
When the monarchy was overthrown, the world was in chaos.
When the world was in chaos, the people were the ones who suffered.
The disciples of Taoist sects all over the world came down the mountain one after another, taking it as their duty to save the people of the world.
I also went down at that time. a member, Then by chance, I came here and discovered this Xuanbing Cave.
I was also curious about why people move so slowly in this cave, and then I found that it is beneficial to practice.
I use pressure to exercise and overcome the pressure. exist After tempering myself, when I got used to the mysterious energy and the speed in this cave was the same as usual, I learned to leave the seclusion."
He smiled bitterly and said: "But the era when I came out of the seclusion was not a good era.
After a few years, the division has Things have changed, the master has been dead for decades, and no one of my brothers and sisters is still alive, so I traveled around the world, but in the end I found that it was better to be here, at least not fighting against the world, and in the end I still Come back here and continue practicing.”
"You said that the pressure of this mysterious ice is equivalent to us personally bearing several times the gravity outside.
It should be helpful for cultivation, but it is a bit scary to stay young forever.
You don't have to eat it here.
Don’t you want to drink?”
I asked him.
"Yes, you really don't need to eat or drink here."
He nodded and said, "After absorbing this mysterious energy, all the power you need is in it, but as soon as you come out of here, you will be hungry.
It seems that this mysterious energy can be absorbed and digested, but it cannot be stored in the body.
I have tried it.
After entering the body, it is wrapped and digested by the true energy, but not much is absorbed.
If more is absorbed, the part that cannot be digested will be absorbed.
Excreted from the body.”
"This is unscientific."
I scratched my forehead.
He smiled slightly and said: "There are many such black ice caves in the entire Lop Nur.
Where there are statues, there are usually such black ice caves.
This is also the totem of the statue and the source of accumulated strength.
I will compete with you, my son.
The power of the totem is also the power transformed by the totem after absorbing the mysterious energy."
"I see."
I nodded.
"If you want a scientific explanation, then listen to Chi Hai.
He will tell you that Lop Nur happens to be at the overlap of two time zones, so the time vacuum created by this overlapping place stops time.
Ten thousand years later, the outside world has been turned upside down, but the people inside will always be like that.”

"Chi Hai really said that."
I looked at Taoist Yueyang in surprise.
"Yes, that's what he explained, but it doesn't make any sense."
Taoist Master Yue Yang touched his beard and said with a smile: "But what he said about time vacuum does have a little meaning, but he didn't say time.
It has stopped.
I feel like it is passing more slowly.
Already, just like the pressure, it is estimated to be several times slower than outside.
But I think it is not a problem of overlapping time zones, but the time caused by the collision between the mysterious energy generated by the large formation and the evil energy released by the underground witch clan.
The vacuum makes time pass very slowly inside.”
I nodded.
I don’t know what it is exactly.
But since it can help my cultivation, I naturally want to make good use of it.
I said: "Senior, how should I use this profound energy to practice?"
"You first try to absorb this mysterious energy and see if it can be absorbed by you.
If it works, that's great.
If it doesn't work, let's use the second plan, which is the method I use for my own cultivation."
Taoist Yueyang said .
"Okay."
I sat down immediately, opened the pores in my body, and tried to let the mysterious energy enter my body, but the mysterious energy was extremely heavy
