As this is a three-dimensional world, the method of expressing information is also three-dimensional and立体.
For instance, within Liu Nanfeng’s eyes at this moment, the first layer is air, the second layer is vegetation, and the third layer is soil, which is what we commonly refer to as the Earth’s crust.
This information is largely repetitive, so when even a slight difference appears, it becomes as obvious as a stain on a white piece of paper.
And what Liu Nanfeng discovered at this moment was precisely this: a single drop of ink on a white sheet of paper feels exceedingly abrupt.
Perhaps this is what is meant by a divine object being difficult to conceal; its "radiance" pierced through the thick layers of information and presented itself before Liu Nanfeng.
Liu Nanfeng reached out and gently swept the air around him. The information of the soil on the ground instantly shifted to the sides, revealing a deep pit.
The upper layers of information were disturbed, and the information began to tilt. Liu Nanfeng waved his hand, and the information silently moved several meters forward, causing the stone pillar to naturally shift along with it.
Everything appeared effortless, as if lifting a great weight with ease, resembling a divine miracle. However, in reality, it was not only a miracle to ordinary people but also to cultivators.
This was because Liu Nanfeng had not used any spiritual power to drive these actions from beginning to end. It was as if he were a deity commanding all things, with all things obeying his will.
And now, with a layer of thick soil lifted, an object finally appeared before Liu Nanfeng.
However, it was not the Grand Dao Stele that Liu Nanfeng had expected, but a cone-shaped object. Liu Nanfeng reached out and beckoned, and the cone-shaped object rose from the ground, falling into his hand.
It was, however, covered in rust and dust. Liu Nanfeng brought it closer, observed it briefly, and then exhaled gently. The dust and rust quickly faded, revealing its original color.
Liu Nanfeng also showed a look of satisfaction. Ever since his battle with Xu Zhenwu, under his intense pressure, Liu Nanfeng’s own skills had been refined into a harmonious whole, and his control over the world's information had become even more adept.
And now, the object in Liu Nanfeng’s hand finally revealed its true form. It was pointed at both ends.
"Is this a Vajra Pestle?"
The Vajra Pestle is a weapon belonging to Esoteric Buddhism. Feng Zhirun was originally a highly virtuous monk of Buddhism. Although not of the Esoteric school, there were always some connections, so it was reasonable for him to possess a Vajra Pestle.
This Vajra Pestle was exceptionally magnificent, pointed at both ends, hollow in the middle, not only carved with exquisite patterns but also inlaid with precious gems. Within the hollow handle, there was a statue of a fierce Buddha.
The rhombus-shaped tips at both ends were covered in Sanskrit, and the overall appearance made it seem noble and extraordinary.
Liu Nanfeng swung it gently, and the two ends of the Vajra Pestle immediately emitted golden Buddhist light, scriptures appeared, and Sanskrit chants echoed. It almost seemed to detach from his palm and float in the air.
Liu Nanfeng quickly tightened his grip, and only then did it quiet down again.
With a wave of his hand, the soil on the ground returned to its original position, and the stone pillar also moved back. No traces were left, as if nothing had ever happened.
Looking at the Vajra Pestle in his hand, Liu Nanfeng's first thought was of the abandoned temple not far from the village. The name of the temple was already unknown, but the villagers all referred to it as the Old Temple.
Therefore, Liu Nanfeng did not delay and prepared to head to the Old Temple to take a look.
The newly built cement road in the village was originally quite wide, but now many parts had been pried open by wild grass, creating gaps. It seemed that under the influence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the vitality of these plants had become much more vigorous.
There were advantages and disadvantages; the vegetation on both sides of the road was also much denser, especially some wild flowers, which emitted a intoxicating fragrance as they swayed in the breeze.
Liu Nanfeng secretly lamented, estimating that much of the infrastructure would need to be repaired again.
Just then, from the thick fog ahead, the sound of rolling wheels could be heard. Liu Nanfeng stopped advancing and stood by the roadside, waiting for them to pass.
At that moment, a tall and thin person emerged from the fog, pulling a flat cart.
"Dad." Liu Nanfeng called out with pleasant surprise.
His gaze fell upon the flat cart behind him. On it, besides several barrels of oil, Yu Huilan was also sitting.
"Son."
Yu Huilan leaped down from the flat cart with slight excitement. Her movements were agile, indicating that their physical condition had been very good recently.
However, because Yu Huilan's sudden descent caused Liu Zonghe to lose his balance, he stumbled forward.
"You old woman, why didn't you say something before getting down," he grumbled indignantly.
But Yu Huilan paid no mind to what he was saying at the moment. She walked forward, took Liu Nanfeng's hand, and asked, "How is Jinxiu? How is Little Jin Hua? She must have grown quite a bit, right?"
"They are all very well. Little Jin Hua has already grown a few teeth," Liu Nanfeng said with a smile.
"Good, good..." Yu Huilan was very happy to hear this.
Then, she looked at Liu Nanfeng expectantly, clearly hoping that Liu Nanfeng would allow her to enter Guanshanhai to see her granddaughter.
"It's on the main road. Let's talk about it when we get home," Liu Zonghe said grumpily from the side.
Yu Huilan felt that he had a point, but she still muttered, "With such thick fog, who can see anything."
Although she said this, she did not continue to insist.
Liu Nanfeng had intended to visit the Old Temple, but he decided to go home with them first.
Taking the flat cart from Liu Zonghe, he couldn't help but ask about Little Jin Hua. The little one was plump and incredibly cute. After not seeing her for a few days, he missed her terribly.
"This world has been quite turbulent recently. I plan to bring you to live in Guanshanhai for a while," Liu Nanfeng said frankly, not hiding anything.
"Will Little Jin Hua be with us?" Yu Huilan asked eagerly.
"Of course, she will be living with you for a long time," Liu Nanfeng replied.
"That would be wonderful," Yu Huilan said with a joyful expression. Liu Zonghe also nodded in agreement.
"But... the flow of time in Guanshanhai is very fast," Liu Nanfeng said with some helplessness.
"What does that matter? If we have ten years of lifespan left, living ten years in this world or ten years in Guanshanhai, is there any difference?" Liu Zonghe retorted.
In fact, after they returned last time, he had been contemplating this issue.
Upon hearing this, Liu Nanfeng realized that there was indeed no difference. Because the different time flows between the real world and Guanshanhai create a contrast, making it feel like one would live longer in the real world. But if one doesn't compare, ten years is ten years, and there is no difference.
"Since you can think of it that way, it's good. In fact, living in Guanshanhai has many benefits. On one hand, you will be cleansed by spiritual energy for a long time. Although it won't increase your lifespan, it can nourish your physique, indirectly increasing your lifespan. On the other hand, the world of Guanshanhai is under my control. Even if you pass away inside, you will not dissipate. You will transform into another..."
"Alright, you don't need to explain so much to us. You are our son. If we don't trust you, who can we trust? You can decide as you see fit," Liu Zonghe interrupted Liu Nanfeng.
"Then that's fine," Liu Nanfeng said, letting out a sigh of relief.
If his parents had not agreed, Liu Nanfeng would have found it difficult to force them.
"Will we come back later?" Yu Huilan asked somewhat nervously.
After all, in the real world, they still had many friends, and it was impossible to sever ties so abruptly.
"Of course. I won't let you stay in Guanshanhai forever. And whenever you want to come out, just tell me," Liu Nanfeng said with a smile.
Hearing him say this, the couple breathed a sigh of relief.
When they returned home, the two began to busy themselves.
Needless to say, all sorts of clothing were packed. From cooking oil and salt to soy sauce and vinegar, they packed everything they could. Even the chickens and ducks they kept at home, and the chives in the vegetable patch were harvested down to the roots.
There were simply too many things. Even with Liu Nanfeng's help, they were busy all afternoon.
In Guanshanhai, Little Jin Hua and Little Carp seemed particularly happy. The sudden influx of chickens and ducks made them feel as if they had found playmates.
For a time, this corner of Guanshanhai was filled with a sense of life.
And Liu Zonghe and his wife finally met their beloved Little Jin Hua.
