Next Chapter

In the northern part of Dongyue and Pinan County in Qingyuan Mainland, the sky is full of dark clouds, thunder, and heavy rain has been pouring for more than a month, and many towns have been flooded, and the lives of the townspeople have been greatly affected. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

There is a big river in the north of Pinan County called Tianshui River, and according to legend, the river water comes from the Jiutian Mountain in Xiliangchuanzhou on the mainland.

Heavy rains for a month have caused the water of the Tianshui River to rise extremely sharply, and it has long exceeded the historical water surface. For hundreds of years, the Tianshui River has been very smooth, there has never been such a high water level, the Tianshui River is peculiar, the cliffs on both sides are as high as thousands of zhang, like an underground river, the only gap from the west is in the wide belt between the critical mountain and the Xiannu Ridge in the north of Nanjun, where there is an ancient embankment, which has been overwhelmed at this time.

Now this section of the levee is crowded with people, noisy, and many villagers, all of whom are from nearby villages, are running back and forth on the levee. When the flood was about to overflow the embankment, the villagers showed desperate expressions, knelt on the ground and bowed to the sky, and some turned and fled. Suddenly, there was a loud bang of the landslide, countless screams came to an abrupt end, and in the roar of the flood, the levee collapsed!

There is a village a few dozen miles south of the river embankment, and there is a family surnamed Xie in the village.

The Xie family went to the embankment in the morning, and the Xie family's mother-in-law stood at the door of the house with her son who had just turned old, holding an umbrella, and looked anxiously in the direction of the embankment. The tiger head and tiger brain born by the child of the Xie family, the little head arched back and forth in the mother's arms, which looked quite cute.

There was a rumbling sound in the distance, and a white line was faintly beating in the distance.

Someone is screaming, "Run when the water comes."

The mother-in-law of the Xie family panicked all of a sudden, and she was at a loss, and she spun around in place.

Suddenly, I heard the old woman next door Zhou crying loudly: "God, I can't live now!"

The mother-in-law of the Xie family came to her senses, hurriedly walked to the wooden bucket where she usually fetched water, put the child in the bucket, tied her own shirt in front of her son a few times, and then held the bucket and her son, and climbed up the ladder to the house. As soon as they finished doing this, the relentless flood with huge waves dozens of feet high instantly submerged the two of them......

In the vast flood, a wooden barrel rose and fell, and the head of a woman with hair appeared and disappeared by the barrel, and the figure was the mother-in-law of the Xie family.

It turned out that the moment the water fell, the mother-in-law of the Xie family blocked the mouth of the wooden barrel with her body, desperately protecting the child and preventing the flood from pouring into the wooden barrel. The raging flood tossed her and her mother into the middle of the night, and finally calmed down.

The mother-in-law of the Xie family burst out with tenacity and perseverance that made the warriors of the world ashamed, for the sake of the child, she exerted her amazing potential, fought against the flood for most of the night, and hugged her son in a daze, not being swallowed by the flood.

In the middle of the night, only the endless stars in the sky stared at the mother, and the endless sound of waves in her ears, the Xie family's mother-in-law looked at her son with nostalgia, and the latter stretched out his hands and grabbed her wrists, trying to pull her into the bucket.

The mother-in-law of the Xie family shook her head, the bucket was too small, she was exhausted, and she was about to lose her support, so let's take a last look at her son.

At this moment, thousands of thunderbolts burst out from the sky in the distance. The roaring thunder resounded through the heavens and the earth, illuminating the flood and snow reflecting brightly, and thousands of thunderbolts chased a humanoid object with yellow light in front of him like a long dragon, but it was a villain-like phantom up close, not an entity, but the villain looked frightened, panicked, and looked like he was fleeing for his life.

When the mother-in-law of the Xie family, who was dying, saw this yellow light, a flame of hope ignited in her eyes, and in her blurred eyes: an immortal with golden light, driving ten thousand silver rays, flew towards herself and her child.

"Immortals, save my child!" the Xie family's mother-in-law shouted, pushing the barrel forward with all her might, and her body sank immediately.

The yellow villain was busy choosing a way, wanting to get into the water, seeing the barrel's eyes lit up, and just about to enter, ten thousand thunderbolts caught him behind, he screamed and struggled hard, and for a moment there was no sound, leaving only a mass of yellow huhuhu, which slowly fell.

The thunder light was just about to destroy it, and it happened that the barrel rushed to the bottom, and the yellow virtual body fell into the mouth of the child who opened his mouth wide and stared at the sky blankly, only to hear a coo, and the child swallowed.

Wan Dao Lei Guang suddenly lost his target, circled around the child for a long time, and finally refused to leave.

The Nanhe faction is located in the east of Pinan County, facing the boundary mountain, and is originally a small sect. There are only more than 200 people in the whole faction, which can be described as sparse and cold.

But the head Zhang Yaozuo likes to be elegant and imitate famous families. The sect is divided into two sects, the inner and outer doors, in fact, the so-called outer doors are cooks, vegetable gardeners, disciples who do chores and some relatives of the inner door stewards.

This incident has become the laughing stock of small sects and small families in the neighborhood, and I can't help laughing happily when I mention it.

In the past few days, Liu Wentai, the deacon of the outer gate of the Nanhe faction, has been a little worried, it has rained for days, floods have occurred in all directions, and the villages in the critical town to which the mountain belongs have been affected by floods, and the grain that is regularly transported cannot come up, and there is not much food in the faction.

Liu Wentai is over forty years old, has been a deacon of the outer gate for many years, is humble and fair, and is deeply respected by his disciples, and is known as Liu Dashan by everyone. Now that there are 200 people in the sect, they are about to run out of food, and many young disciples are going to starve, so he is so anxious that he hurriedly takes a group of outer disciples out to buy food.

When they arrived at Critical Town, they found that the situation was worse than expected, and the town's granary had been submerged under water for many days, rotting and unusable.

Liu Wentai and others had no choice but to go to Baiyan Town, which is far away in the north, to buy grain, which was built halfway up the mountain, and presumably would not be flooded.

Along the way, the water has not completely receded, and there is waist-deep water everywhere, and the water is full of all kinds of debris and the corpses of animals or people.

There was a sound of crying in the distance, and if it weren't for the fact that everyone was a cultivator, they were afraid that they would ignore the past.

Everyone followed the cry to search, and found a wooden barrel stuck in a crooked and thick willow tree, and in the barrel there was a little boy about one year old, choked and dying.

Liu Wentai saw that the child was wrapped in a woman's clothes, his face was as pale as dirt, and his small mouth was tearing his clothes from time to time, looking frightened and helpless.

I am afraid that this son has been on it for some time, Liu Wentai saw that the bark and willow leaves around him were gnawed away by him, and he was amazed at the tenacity of his vitality.

God is pitiful, if it weren't for us, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to support it for long, judging from this clothes, the child's mother is probably gone.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sour in my heart, and my eyes were a little moist. Liu Wentai looked at the northwest direction of the Tianshui River, and sighed in his heart that this flood did not know how many people had suffered.

At that moment, he took out dry food and a kettle, fed the child, and ordered the two disciples to take the child back to the mountain quickly, and told the head of the house to know. The two disciples took the order and hurried back to the mountain with the boy.

Time flies, and ten years have passed. The boy is now eleven years old, and after being rescued, the head Zhang Yaozuo and his wife Fei Jinhua were overjoyed.

The couple was devoted to the Tao, and they had no children under their knees, so they decided that God blessed him, so they adopted him as their own son and named Zhang Tianyou.

Since the age of five, his stepmother taught him poetry and etiquette, and his stepfather taught him to practice the law. Zhang Tianyou practiced the Nanhe School exercises, which were a set of exercises founded by the patriarch Zhang Mofeng three hundred years ago based on fragments of ancient Taoism. It is said that the patriarch Zhang Mofeng has been enlightening the scriptures for decades, and suddenly one day he said that he realized the truth, because he loved the white crane, so he claimed to be the Nanhe Taoist, and the sect he created was called the Nanhe School.

A few years later, the Nanhe faction opened the court and accepted disciples on a large scale, but there were very few people who went to the mountain to apprentice. The conditions for accepting apprentices as a last resort have been lowered again and again, and in the future, there is almost no distinction between men and women, old and young, as long as they are light and healthy, and those who keep to themselves can apprentice.

Three hundred years of development, even the master with apprentices, miscellaneous servants to the present is only about 200 people, for this other family sects attached two poems "fluttering what is like, Nanjun is a faint crow".

The world advocates force, all respect for strength, the ancestor of Nanhe Mountain is only a congenital peak martial artist, and he has not been able to break through the yuan level until his death, and his exercises are named after the crane and the crane, which seems arrogant in the eyes of outsiders, and does not know the height of the sky.

In fact, the Nanhe Mental Method founded by the founding patriarch of the Nanhe School is self-contained and unique. There is a distinction between inside and outside. The external cultivation exercises mainly include the Eight Divine Decisions of the Heavenly Crane, the Four Divine Techniques of the White Crane, and the Twelve Transformation Decisions of the Divine Crane.

The Eight Techniques of the Heavenly Crane and the Four Divine Techniques of the White Crane include many fist techniques, body techniques, leg techniques and footwork techniques, as well as self-cultivation techniques such as pulse training and spiritual training, which are broad and profound in content and infinitely powerful.

It is said that those who have practiced to the end of the world can split the mountain with one hand to open the way, break the 10,000-year-old sacred tree with their feet, and crush the Nine Heavens Xuantie with their palms. The Twelve Transformation Techniques of the Divine Crane are even more earth-shattering, weeping ghosts and gods - the practitioner can change the form of the body at will, and has the natural power and power of the changed form.

The exercises say that practicing all twelve changes can go up to nine days, down to the nine shades, and can prolong life, immortality, and longevity.

Regarding the internal cultivation method, his father-in-law Zhang Yaozuo said that he was still young, and he could only learn it when he grew up and had profound skills.

Therefore, Zhang Tianyou has practiced external cultivation since he was a child. The first time I got this set of exercises, I was a little excited to see the exercises commentary, and I was excited for a few days, and I didn't sleep well at night. But with the gradual understanding, coupled with hearsay, ears and eyes rendering, this exercise from worship to doubt, from doubt to disappointment, and finally turned his nose, and even more slandered the grandfather.

Originally, this external cultivation method was passed down by the ancestor master, and no one has ever practiced it to the fullest. Those who have practiced the Eight Divine Techniques of the Heavenly Crane and the Four Divine Techniques of the White Crane can at most split a stone the size of a grinding disc with one hand, a giant wood the size of a bucket with a broken foot, and a force of 10,000 catties, or strong muscles and bones, full of energy, and strong will.

As for reaching the Broken Foot Mountain Range, shattering the Nine Heavens Xuantie, and reaching the unpredictable realm, it is purely the personal speculation of the ancestor master.

The Twelve Transformation Decisions of the Divine Crane are even more uncultivated, and the reason is: to cultivate the Twelve Transformation Decisions, you must first deeply comprehend the essence, qi, and charm of each changing form. For example, to cultivate the first transformation of the Divine Dragon Transformation in the Twelve Transformation Battles of the Divine Crane, you must be familiar with the dragon's posture, demeanor, breath, temperament, and what kind of life it is, whether it is arrogant, mighty, ferocious, evil, or something else. If you really transform into a divine dragon, you must refine the true spirit blood of the true dragon.

Dragons, that is a legend thousands of years ago, and the world has not seen a dragon in several lifetimes.

There were people who imitated various forms of fierce beasts in the hope of achieving similar results, but eventually created kung fu such as Tiger Claw Fist, which was widely spread among secular warriors.

There are also people who use spiritual power to transform at will, and the result is tangible and intangible, or four dislikes, and there is no power at all.

Over the past few hundred years, the unremitting efforts of countless people have come to a conclusion: to transform into a living entity, you can either refine the blood of the true spirit, or find a spirit beast with a trace of the blood of the ancient true spirit.

Only by refining a spirit beast that contains the bloodline of the true spirit in its body can it be possible to successfully transform and possess some of the supernatural powers of the ancient true spirit. For example, if you transform into a real crane, then the refined crane blood must have the bloodline of Bi Fang, the distant ancestor of the crane, and the same is true for the others.

Everyone gave up.

With such harsh conditions, the ghost can be practiced!
