Tongtian Bamboo Repair

Chapter 426 Heavy Rain
A few months later, Liu Yandao.

Zhang Miao took a deep breath, and the entire Liuyan Island was filled with white mist. The water vapor was rippling, and streaks of white mist were drawn into Zhang Miao's mouth like dragons.

There was a lot of fog in the early morning. Although the situation was turbulent, it didn't disturb anyone. When the sun came out and broke through the sea fog, Zhang Miao also completed the first stage of boxing training and began to repair.

He first went back to the house to prepare breakfast, and then Xing Xiaorong and Xing Sanniang came out of the house. The mother and daughter felt a little embarrassed when they saw Zhang Miao busy. Ever since they knew Zhang Miao's strength, how dare they treat Zhang Miao as their little husband. However, neither mother nor daughter are good at housework, and they can barely cook porridge.

After preparing breakfast for the two of them, Xing Sanniang left after eating. She still has to go fishing today. Xing Xiaorong, on the other hand, rested for a while and then went to find his little sister. She was also preparing to go out to sea to fish for pearls.

Zhang Miao was alone at home, while he continued to practice boxing.

Although the name of Houerquan is common, it is divided into three parts: "Mountain, Sea, and Classic". Among them, the mountain part nurtures energy, the sea part enhances wisdom, and the sutra part consolidates the soul.

Practicing the mountain part can strengthen the essence, while practicing the sea part can enhance the qi, which is the magic power. It is normal to grow wisdom and generate magic power. This boxing method is like this.

The last part of the sutra corresponds to 'refining qi and transforming into spirit'. This part of the boxing technique converts qi into the power of the soul to nourish the soul, which is to nourish the yin god and bring out the yang god.

In ancient times, Qi practitioners could advance in these three aspects at the same time, and there was no step-by-step formula. When a Qi practitioner cultivates energy, he can also convert the energy into Qi, and when converting it into Qi, he can also transform the Qi into the power of the soul at the same time.

As long as you enter the Tao, these three steps can be performed at the same time. Just because each step is a preparation for the next step, so moving forward together does not mean that the progress will be fast.

If there is a lack of energy, then there will naturally be a lack of mana, and if there is a lack of mana, there will be no way to nourish the soul. If the energy is strong, then the magic power will be strong, and if the magic power is strong, the soul will also be strong. This means purchasing, producing and selling at the same time. There is no need to start production only after the goods have been received, and sell them only after production is completed.

Zhang Miao's nine-aperture exquisite body has brought him great benefits in practice. And mastering the magical power of 'breathing' also made him energy-free. Over the past few months, his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds.

It's just that the realm of ancient practitioners is different from that of today's practitioners, and Zhang Miao doesn't know what realm he corresponds to now. Anyway, just keep practicing.

After practicing boxing until the afternoon, Zhang Miao figured that Xing Sanniang and Xing Xiaorong should go home. He stopped practicing boxing, and then with a thought, the basin and towel flew over to him and began to wipe his body.

This is the magical power he recently realized - the ability to control objects.

Ancient practitioners, when their soul and magic power reached a certain level and cooperated with each other, this magical power could be born. As long as he has enough magic power, Zhang Miao can operate many things with his mind. This is the method of controlling objects with Qi.

This method seems to be similar to operating a magic weapon, but in fact there is a big difference. Nowadays, if a monk wants to control an object, he must refine the object, and if he wants to sacrifice an object, he needs the object being refined to have spirituality.

To put it simply, if you want to control objects, the object must be a magic weapon. If you want to move mortal objects, you must blow the wind or use other methods. Anyway, you can't use your soul and magic power to control mortal things.

The ancient Qi Refiners were different, they had this ability. As long as the magical power of controlling objects is awakened, whether it is a magic weapon or a mortal object, it can be directly controlled without the need for a medium such as wind.

This magical power is quite versatile. At least Zhang Miao can control tables, chairs, and pots and pans to move on his own with just a thought. This is extremely beneficial for him to clean up.

Because of this magical power, ancient monks also called Qi 'mana', because the deeper the mana, the heavier the objects that can control objects. This is strength. It is said that ancient Qi masters could move mountains because of their magical power and powerful magic power.

Now Zhang Miao's magic power can move 10,000 kilograms of items, and the 10,000 kilograms of items are like nothing under his command.

As Zhang Miao practices daily, his 'strength' will become stronger and stronger. As long as he is given enough time, it is not a problem to move mountains.

With this magical power, Zhang Miao can ignite the firewood on the stove by himself, swing the spatula by himself, and add ingredients and seasonings by himself with a thought. This frees up Zhang Miao's hands and increases the efficiency of work. No wonder there are rumors of ancient Qi refining Scholars can often multi-task, refining elixirs, performing spells, and playing the harp at the same time.

After Zhang Miao's dinner was ready, Xing Sanniang and Xing Xiaorong went home at the same time. The three of them sat together and chatted while eating. The atmosphere was also harmonious.

Another month passed.

In the early morning of this day, Zhang Miao was practicing boxing and breathing as usual. Suddenly, he felt a sudden movement in the world, and it seemed that the atmosphere around him had changed. He was stunned for a moment, then observed the movement of Feng Shui energy around him.

After just one glance, he frowned and said with some confusion: "The feng shui here has changed drastically. It seems that someone has imprisoned this world. What happened?"

The Liuyan Island where he was located was just an ordinary island. There were no monks on the island and few resources. Why would someone imprison this place?

Only monks above the Nascent Soul stage can use this skill.

Just when Zhang Miao was confused, suddenly, large dark clouds came towards Liu Yan Island. In just a blink of an eye, the dark clouds covered Liu Yan Island. Then Zhang Miao heard a crackling sound, but it was raindrops falling as big as beans. Come on, the sound of hitting the ground...

"It's raining! Put away the fishing nets and dried fish!"

The calls of fishermen came from nearby. The fishermen ran out of the house and began to put away the fishing nets and dried fish to dry. Zhang Miao was also moved, and the fishing nets and dried fish that the Xing family was drying flew into the house.

The patter of raindrops alarmed Xing Sanniang and Xing Xiaorong. Xing Sanniang looked at the rain and said a little depressed: "I still want to go fishing today. I have been fishing for several days. I see that the fish are all gathering in groups and they are about to be harvested... When it rains, I don’t know if it will scare away my fish.”

Xing Xiaorong also frowned and said, "I don't know how long this rain will last. Will it affect my going to sea?"

Both are worried about their harvest. Zhang Miao also raised his head and looked at the sky, feeling that this matter must be serious.

The rain didn't stop for the next few days. News also came from the port that because of the rain, all ships could not go out to sea. Xing Xiaorong and Xing Sanniang are both trapped on the island.

If that's the case, it actually doesn't matter. The Xing family has food in stock, dried fish, and pickles. Even if it rains for three to five months, they will not be hungry.

What's disturbing is that some people discovered that the sea water has begun to surge! I don’t know if it’s due to the heavy rain, but the sea water is now growing like crazy. All the former beaches have been submerged, and the low-lying areas near the sea are also submerged in water. Fishermen like Xing Sanniang are very nervous because they live by the sea and the seawater has flooded to their doorsteps.

"Xiao Zhang, the water is rising higher and higher. Should we move away and take a walk around the island?" Xing Sanniang asked Zhang Miao worriedly.

Zhang Miao shook his head and said: "I have already taken a look. There are many low-lying areas on the island with a lot of water. The island is not high in the first place. I am afraid there is no place to go now."

Liuyan Island is a small island formed by the upwelling of lava from the ocean floor. This island has no ups and downs, and its highest point is only three feet above the sea. Nowadays, there is water everywhere on the island, and it is not suitable to move anywhere.

Xing Sanniang became even more worried when she heard this. The heavy rain and rising water were the worst she had ever seen in her more than thirty years of life. She had no choice but to do anything. Based on her knowledge, she really didn’t know what to do. .

Zhang Miao thought for a moment and said: "Well, you can talk to other neighbors and connect their fishing boats together, and then put them on platforms to make them into offshore platforms. This way, even if the water floods, at least there will be a place to stay." .”

Xing Sanniang thought for a moment, then asked a few more questions, and finally said with a smile: "This is a good idea. We connect the fishing boats and lay them on wooden boards, so we can put food and water on them, so we are not afraid of flooding. I Let’s discuss it with others.”

Xing Sanniang hurriedly went out to discuss with her neighbors. The fishermen just had little knowledge, but that didn't mean they were fools. They would not have thought of this method for a while, but when the water came over and they were forced to do nothing, they would naturally think of it.

Not long after, Zhang Miao saw a group of women braving the rain, connecting their fishing boats, and then started hammering nails.

After a busy night, a rough offshore platform was built. Under this platform are seven or eight fishing boats supporting it, and several fishing boats are maneuvering. Everyone began to put the materials on the platform again. It was busy until late at night, and the materials and people were all on the offshore platform.

That night, the sea water rose again, completely flooding Xing Sanniang's house.

Xing Sanniang's house was flooded, and others' lives were not much better. But almost all here are fishermen, and almost every household has a fishing boat. Some people have thought of putting supplies on fishing boats to avoid the flood. But fishing boats are small, and there is no big offshore platform.

Xing Sanniang and others paddled and began to help other flooded islanders. After these islanders saw Xing Sanniang's offshore platform, they all imitated it.

There is strength in numbers, and this offshore platform is not a complicated thing. Someone ruthlessly dismantled a few ships, nailed the dismantled wooden boards together, and built several offshore platforms. There are also suggestions to connect these offshore platforms to create larger platforms.

However, this suggestion was rejected by Zhang Miao. This kind of offshore platform is too big and has no ability to withstand wind and waves. If there are waves, it will be a chain of iron ropes.

Not many people listened to Zhang Miao's words, but Xing Sanniang still had some reputation on the island. After her dissuasion, everyone gave up the idea.

The heavy rain is still falling, and although there is an offshore platform, no one will be drowned. But then another problem arose. Under such heavy rain, many people got wet under the simple shelter of the offshore platform. Although these people were in good health, in this environment, they began to lose body temperature, which was fatal to ordinary people. threats.

After a few days, some young and old people have fallen ill. Although the young and middle-aged people can still withstand it, they are also exhausted and are in a precarious situation.

Xing Sanniang has been busy these days. She has a good reputation, so people will naturally come to ask for help. She will not wait until death. After a few days, even her iron-clad body will not be able to hold on.

Sure enough, she soon fell ill and started to have a high fever. Fortunately, Zhang Miao had medical skills. He used fish bones to make bone needles and gave Xing Sanniang acupuncture to save her. But Xing Sanniang is an ordinary person after all. Acupuncture alone cannot cure her disease. She also needs nutritional supplements, environmental changes, and the help of other drugs.

But on this offshore platform, there are none of these things! There is no shortage of food, but there is no fire to heat the food. These days, everyone eats dried fish, chews pickles, and drinks rainwater.

Just when sadness and helplessness enveloped the islanders, Zhang Miao heard someone calling him.

"Friend Zhang! Friend Zhang!"

Zhang Miao followed the sound and found that it was a magpie calling him from the sea.

"Why is it you? I'm a magpie! How did you become like this!" Zhang Miao looked at him in surprise.

At this time, Que Yimen showed a miserable smile to Zhang Miao. There were still bruises on his face at this moment. His grin revealed that his three front teeth were missing, and it seemed that this smile also affected the wound. Making him grit his teeth and gasp.

Que Yimen said depressedly: "Stop talking, I was beaten. The second young master of the Lin family sent someone to beat him. He should have known that I said bad things about him at the banquet that day, but I didn't expect that this guy would still Find the magpie family and send someone to beat me up!"

"Friend Zhang, he hit me so hard. If I accidentally told you where you live, he would most likely get angry at you and send someone to beat you."

He looked at Liu Yandao's situation, sighed and said: "Now it seems that he has already taken revenge on you. I was beaten to the point of losing my mind, and I came to inform you as soon as I could move. I didn't expect it, but it was too late... …”

"Friend Zhang, I'm sorry for you. Why don't you run away? I can take you away secretly."

Zhang Miao shook his head, pointed to the islanders behind him and said, "If you take me away, what will they do?"

Que Yimen glanced at the islanders and said indifferently: "They have no choice but to blame them for their misfortune. You are a monk, so you are naturally different from them."

Zhang Miao sighed. Although this goblin was a bit upright and stupid, he had a good heart. He was seriously injured and still came to report the news. It's just that he and humans are not of the same race after all, and he will not pity the suffering of ordinary people.

Zhang Miao waved her hand and said, "Okay, I'm very happy that you can tell me the beginning and end of the matter. I still need your help for the next thing."

Que Yimen said strangely: "You still want my help? What help do you want from me?"

Zhang Miao grinned, showing his white teeth. He said: "Didn't I say that I have to settle an account with the second son of the Lin family? Today is the time to settle the account, and I said that if I come to him to settle the account, I will definitely call you. Now, it is we who are going to find him. Time to settle accounts!”
