Alien Dust

Chapter 131 Third-order hearing
During the long cold era, Wu Hen didn't know how time passed here.

It seems that every day is longer than the previous one, and it also seems that every day is like a dream that is completely forgotten as soon as you wake up.

Unable to go out, Wu Hen seemed to have nothing to do.

Occasionally, one has to endure the distraction of rap coming from a house not far away.

On the contrary, the fairy Gong Qin should be meditating every day. To her, time is just a timer. She can meditate for the whole day without sleeping. Even if she is half awake while meditating, she will not be bored.

The immortal family, when meditating, their bodies become a container that can absorb the spiritual essence of the heaven, earth, sun and moon. They have a long lifespan, and a lot of time is spent resonating with heaven and earth...

Unless Wu Hen also takes over the body of an immortal one day, it will be impossible for him to learn the other party's method of improving cultivation and strength through meditation.

Du Mao, who is still living in someone else's home, stands shirtless in the snow every day. A powerful internal energy lingers around his body, which can melt the snow that falls on him.

According to Du Mao's description, the snowflakes fell in an irregular pattern, and he could transform his true energy into needle-shaped weapons to intercept the snowflakes that were about to fall on his body.

If he practices diligently like this every day, he will become more proficient in the use of true Qi.

This made Wu Hen feel a little envious.

Du Mao can play the little bee game for the whole winter, and Fairy Gong Qin can ignore the flow of time by meditating, so what should I do alone?

I thought I could kill time by playing Landlord, but after playing for a few days, I got bored.

The ancient people were also accustomed to such a cold period. Most of them chose to sleep and hibernate, and occasionally hold some small indoor activities to enrich their spiritual world.

Before Han Ji arrived, Wu Hen liked to go out hunting. The mountains and rivers in the world of painting scrolls always bring people a different kind of magic, and he can enjoy it even if he is alone.

"Exercise your hearing?"

After thinking about it, Wu Hen felt that this was the only thing he could do.

He sat upright like a fairy harp, with his hands placed naturally on his knees, adjusted his breathing to automatic mode, and then focused on his hearing.

Start by listening to the heartbeat of the fairy next to you...

The fairy's heartbeat was very slow, and she was already diagnosed as dead at the hospital where she was.

The blood circulation in her body is also very slow. Such a slow metabolism is like freezing herself. It seems reasonable that she has a long life.

Listening to the noise outside the room, a "biubiubiu" sound came from Du Mao, which was him controlling his true Qi to shoot at the snowflakes floating in the air.

Du Mao has made great progress. He has already managed to prevent snowflakes from falling within a ten-meter radius of him. He has evolved from playing the bee game to playing beach landing. It probably won’t take too long before he can play tower defense.

Listening to other places in the village, Wu Hen heard the heavy breathing of some ancient tribesmen who had closed their doors.

The ancient people were actually quite fertile, mainly because they had nothing to do during the cold season, so they could only hold their wives in their arms and sleep in the house. As they slept, the next spring, when the flowers bloomed, the women's bellies would swell...

Wu Hen and the fairy have a gentleman's agreement.

Therefore, no matter how red his face was or how excited he was, he would not have any other improper thoughts.

On the contrary, Wu Hen had to be on guard against this fairy who was indifferent to worldly affairs, fearing that she would covet him in order to get rid of her inner demons. An outstanding young man in the world like himself could not be ruined by such a fairy without sentiments.

Listening outside the village, there seemed to be a sound of crying.

The crying sounded sad and miserable, as if there was a girl in distress outside the village who hoped to hide in the village to keep warm.

Fortunately, the ancient tribesmen have told us that there are monsters in the snow, so we just don’t need to pay any attention to them.

The snow demon seemed to sense that someone was listening, and it tried to communicate with Wu Hen through the air, but Wu Hen's out-of-body hearing covered its ears, and with an attitude of "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen, you bastard", it flew farther, heading towards the stream and the plain.

When Wu Hen's sense of hearing reached the stream, his perception began to become a little scattered. After all, a person's concentration time is limited. If he wants to improve this concentration, he must practice for a long time...

Fortunately, Wu Hen has plenty of time now.

"What are you doing?" Suddenly, the fairy Gong Qin opened her eyes. There was a hint of confusion in her starry eyes, but she still retained a sense of calmness.

"Auditory hiking, to see how far my hearing can go and how delicate things I can perceive." Wu Hen explained.

"Oh." Fairy Gong Qin closed her eyes again and moved her slender body slightly.

Wu Hen didn't think much about it and continued to listen to it.

Once the human body remains still in a small space, does it mean that it will be unable to perceive the outside world?

Obviously this is just a narrow statement.

Physical walking is just a way of exploration.

For example, a person is in a room and picks up a book and starts reading.

In fact, this is the eyes and the mind wandering, and a magnificent world will appear, regardless of fiction or reality.

Similarly, even if only the hearing is used, many things in the outside world will be depicted in Wu Hen's mind. This method is actually what people often call an out-of-body experience.

When you only have the sense of hearing to wander out of your body, the world you "see" is different, just like being in a huge ice mirror world, all static things are reflected in the misty blue sky, when there are dynamic things that make sounds, ripples will appear, and when the ripples sway, your mind will outline its "shape" and "color", and their beautiful ripples can bring people a kind of spiritual pleasure, but they can also be so complex and intertwined that people feel physically and mentally uncomfortable.

If something Wu Hen has seen makes a familiar sound, his sense of hearing will automatically render a virtual image of the other party, forming the picture he sees on a daily basis. However, if it is a creature that Wu Hen has never seen before, it will be an unrendered model, similar to a stick figure. It's just that the perceived "picture" is relatively simple and alternative, but it still does not prevent Wu Hen from enjoying the scenery along the way.

Going deeper into the plain, we arrived at a forest covered with heavy snow.

The Cold Period is not absolutely silent. There are some mythical species in the forest that only live in the Cold Period. The musical score that Wu Hen drew based on his hearing... is more like a little giant.

I don't know what kind of creature it is.

Afterwards, Wu Hen went to a glacier and dived under it.

Under the frozen river, Wu Hen heard whispers.

The sound was very special and closer to human language, which made Wu Hen curious. Could it be that there was a little dragon king living in the river?

Continuing to dive, Wu Hen finally found the source of the movement.

It was still a very simple outline, and Wu Hen's perspective could not render its true appearance, but the other party spoke a long string of words densely, as if chanting a sutra, with some extreme emotions...

"What on earth is this?"

"The one who sank to the bottom of the river, could it be a demon imprisoned there?"

"It could also be some kind of divine substance that has developed intelligence and is trying to resonate with the outside world."

"When the freeze ends, we can go down and take a look. Maybe it's a treasure."

Wu Hen made a mark here and waited until the spring when flowers bloomed next year to go to the bottom of the river to find out what was going on.

……

……

Fairy meditating.

A martial arts fanatic practices qigong.

Wu Hen travels around the world...

Everyone was practicing, but Wu Hen was unconsciously immersed in it.

He discovered that his hearing could reach many places that his body could not reach.

He can also travel through, appreciate and explore some airspace that is too distant and too ethereal through his hearing.

Even in some small worlds under the cracks in the ground, Wu Hen no longer needs to worry about his own safety. He can walk in the intricate underground maze and feel how the underground creatures lay eggs crazily.

To be honest, it's like having a movable God's perspective. Even though the pictures are not as beautiful as what you actually see, they are still rich and colorful.

The most important thing is that after Wu Hen got used to this kind of traveling, the rendered outside world gradually became clearer in Wu Hen's mind. Suddenly one day, when he could no longer travel, the outlines of all objects in the outside world could be revealed!

At first, the world that Wu Hen felt when he was traveling was a large flat surface, equivalent to a 2D graphic.

But after practicing for a long time, the 2D graphics slowly turned into 3D outlines, and he could clearly perceive the shapes of all objects. Especially after entering the underground cave, Wu Hen could even clearly depict the intricate structure inside...

"I understand. From a scientific perspective, all moving objects generate sound waves. Sound waves leave ripples on all objects. When all the ripples are integrated together, they outline the contours of all objects in the outside world!"

"That's interesting. My sense of hearing is like a released radar bat. It will go wherever I tell it to go, and it can even map a designated area!"

Wu Hen was filled with joy.

Such a qualitative change will occur, which means that my hearing sense has improved!

Improving spiritual perception is the most difficult.

Wu Hen also got this confirmed by the fairies Gong Qin and Du Mao. For the vast majority of creatures that have awakened their spirits, the level they initially awaken at will remain at that level for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, the advancement of perception is often more difficult than the so-called leap in the evolutionary chain gate!

Third-order hearing.

This is a realm that even the fairy Gong Qin cannot reach, which means that without using some domineering magic, Gong Qin's swordsmanship may make it difficult for her to even touch the corner of Wu Hen's clothes, because as long as she moves slightly, Wu Hen can know what moves she is going to use through the flow of her blood without any observation.

"Dongdong~Dongdongdong~"

Gong Qin's heartbeat was also extremely clear.

Unlike before, her heartbeat was faster now...

Moreover, the speed of her blood flow was somewhat abnormal. It felt like it was not circulating, but more like it was rushing around in her body.

Wu Hen opened his eyes and looked at the fairy Gong Qin.

But I found that her snow-white skin was rosy, her smooth forehead was covered with tiny beads of sweat, and she pursed her red lips tightly, as if she was trying hard to restrain something...
