Chapter 126 The Secret of the Training Camp Base
Woo————

Accompanied by the heavenly sound of the whistle, a ship slowly sailed into the harbor, causing surging waves.

After docking, passengers crowded off the ship.

"Dear handsome guys and beautiful girls, we have finally arrived at Yong'an Island, the destination of our seven-day dream vacation!"

In the hall of the ferry terminal, the leading female tour guide stood in front of the tour group, holding a small loudspeaker in her hand and introducing loudly.

"It is a hidden gem in the southeastern sea of our country. Its total area is roughly the size of a medium-sized district in Dongdu City, but its population is less than 20,000."

"Although this island is not very famous, its scenery is definitely not inferior to those well-known resorts. It also has more primitive natural scenery and unique cultural and historical resources..."

While the tour group was waiting for the shuttle bus, the tour guide diligently livened up the atmosphere.

A large group of people were carrying bags and pulling suitcases. Some were standing quietly, while others were talking to each other. Their faces vaguely revealed the fatigue after the long boat ride.

"That's good. I like places with fewer people."

Among the group members, a middle-aged woman nodded in agreement: "When we go to those crowded places, I don't know whether we are going to see people or the scenery."

"Miss Tour Guide, I am not interested in the scenery here at all."

Another sturdy man in his thirties raised his hand and interrupted, "I just want to know when I can officially start meditation practice."

"Yes.", "Yes."

Others immediately echoed.

After all, the theme of this trip is "a journey of the soul and meditation", not just sightseeing.

These people's words also revealed Fang Cheng's thoughts, and he also turned his gaze to the tour guide.

"Don't worry, we have fully considered everyone's needs and made appropriate and reasonable travel plans."

The smiling female tour guide talked about the specific itinerary arrangements:
"Tonight, everyone will stay at the meditation camp base specially arranged by us. Have a good rest for the night and relieve the fatigue of the journey."

"We will gather again at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. I will take you to the sightseeing spots on the island to familiarize you with the environment here. After that, a professional spiritual mentor will be in charge of leading the team."

"The camp will arrange morning and evening classes, as well as outdoor meditation practice every day, and is committed to creating an unforgettable spiritual experience for you, allowing you to get close to nature and feel your true self..."

As they were talking, the horn honked and the pick-up car arrived.

Fang Cheng looked up and saw a line of eye-catching red words spray-painted on the body of the bus:
"Truth and Meditation Sadhana".

It seemed to be true, and then I followed everyone into the car.

The car drove in twists and turns along the narrow concrete road.

On both sides are low buildings with rich folk characteristics.

From time to time, you can catch a glimpse of a golden beach and fishing nets drying in the sun through the gaps between the buildings.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the appearance of an island town appeared before everyone's eyes.

The car quickly passed through the city and continued to drive towards the more remote and lushly vegetated suburbs.

After more than ten minutes, we arrived at a place that was composed of old buildings and resembled a resort.

This is the so-called "meditation training camp base".

When everyone got off the bus, the sky had already turned completely dark.

Fang Cheng raised his head and looked at the brightly lit buildings in the night, but a hint of doubt flashed through his mind.

He had carefully observed the surroundings while driving here just now.

Except for the seven-story building in front of you, which looks like a retro-style hotel building.

The other buildings were pitch black, with no signs of anyone living in them, as if they had been abandoned and vacant for a long time.

There is only one building with lights on in the darkness amidst the trees and weeds, which inevitably gives people a strange and eye-catching feeling.

At this moment, the tour guide was standing in front of the door, calling out names and checking whether all group members were present.

Fang Cheng temporarily suppressed his doubts and followed the tour group into the first floor lobby.

After the tour guide's negotiation and guidance, everyone successfully received the room cards and found their respective rooms.

After packing their luggage, they went downstairs together to prepare for tonight's dinner.

Although he was quite curious, Fang Cheng did not wander around, but chose to follow the group obediently.

The restaurant is located on the west side of the first floor.

When everyone entered, they found that there were already many people queuing or eating.

They looked very familiar with the environment here, as if they were permanent guests. They were all dressed in plain white clothes, and their words and actions were all polite and gentle.

The tour guide explained that these people were travelers who came to participate in the meditation tour like everyone else.

It's just that they came earlier, and because they gained a lot in the training camp and were fortunate to open their wisdom, they voluntarily chose to stay and continue their studies for a long time.

Fang Cheng glanced at these "seniors", then picked up his plate and lined up at the back of the line.

The restaurant's hygienic conditions are pretty good, and the dishes are all displayed in transparent and clean windows.

But at a glance, they are basically all vegetarian dishes, and they look bland and lack oil.

What's more, since it is on an island, there are no local specialties such as fish, shrimp and crabs.

Perhaps the only food that can be called "seafood" is the bowl of seaweed soup.

Several members of the group couldn't help but grumble, feeling like they were being ripped off by the travel agency.

After Fang Cheng ordered his meal, he chose an empty seat and sat down.

Although the food was not very appetizing, I still ate it all.

Then he looked at the panel and nodded slightly.

[You enjoyed a special dinner with a unique flavor, Food Experience +1]

You know what, it does have a unique flavor, and I don’t know what seasoning was used.

Fang Cheng collected the plate with satisfaction and placed it on the recycling station very politely.

After all, even the "full whip feast" cooked by Ma Dong Hyuk himself could be solved happily, let alone such a small problem as eating vegetarian food for a few days.

Return to the third floor, room 305.

After washing up, Fang Cheng walked to the balcony and quietly looked at the night view outside the window.

The training camp is located in a forest on a hillside.

Looking down from a high vantage point, you can see a sky full of stars, like a night sky made of black satin.

You can also see the port with its beacon lights flickering faintly in the distance, as well as the small town of Yong'an Island with its lights dimming.

Compared with the noisy, bustling and colorful Dongdu.

The nights here are particularly dark, and also particularly peaceful and serene.

If you look closely, you can see grayish-white mist rising from the mountains and forests.

The fog seemed to become thicker as the night progressed, and was even blown into the windows by the wind.

Strands and strands of it brush gently against the skin, bringing an unusually cool feeling.

Fang Cheng took a deep breath, letting it penetrate his lungs.

I suddenly felt relaxed and my thoughts became clear. Even the various environmental noises lingering in my ears became much softer and gentler.

I can't help but admire:
"It's really a good place. No wonder they chose to open a training camp here!"

According to popular science and health care, this effect is that the content of negative ions in the air is very high.

It helps purify the air, promote respiratory tract cleanliness and blood circulation, and even regulate the nervous system and improve mental state.

Fang Cheng thought secretly.

It seems that this meditation trip may be quite rewarding.

The only downside is that two people have to share a room.

With a creaky sound, someone pushed the door open and walked in.

It was the sturdy, square-faced man who had raised objections to the tour guide at the dock.

He saw Fang Cheng standing leisurely in front of the window admiring the scenery, so he continued the conversation in a familiar manner:

"This place is really nice, half mountain and half sea. Going out for sightseeing during the day, the scenery is definitely worth seeing."

Seeing that Fang Cheng didn't reply, he continued:

"Xiao Ma, haven't you discovered the big secret here?"

There was a mystery in his tone, as if there was something unspeakable.

Upon hearing this, Fang Cheng immediately turned to look at him in surprise.
