Zhang Yuan woke up suddenly, only to feel that his muscles and bones were in pain, and he was shocked to find that he was caught in a ball of water and fell from a high altitude.

The water splashed, and he felt himself hit the water, and there seemed to be countless exclamations around him, and then he passed out again.

I don't know how much time has passed, but in the confusion, I vaguely feel that someone has taken good care of him, wiping his clothes and changing clothes, treating his wounds, and feeding him some strange things. Finally, one night, he woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he exclaimed.

What is this place?

He was lying on a bamboo bed, and a strange bead was hung on the wall, emitting a bright white light shining on this simple house with bamboo as the wall and thatch as the roof, and on one side of the wall hung with robes, and in addition, there were various pots and jars on a bamboo frame in the corner of the house.

Zhang Yuan's desire for death has passed, and he will not be crying and crying to learn from the woman to seek death again.

Zhang Yuan's eyes were fixed on the beads, his curiosity flared up again, he wanted to take the beads to see what it was, and when he exerted his strength, he found that his whole body was weak, and the pain was unbearable, and he couldn't help but moan.

The bamboo door was pushed open.

An old man who will only appear in costume films, with a dark face, white hair tied in a bun on the top of his head, inserted with a bamboo branch, and a big wrist in his hand, striding over with a bare foot.

He saw Zhang Yuan staring at him, grinning, the big hand like a fan touched his forehead, and said a series of words loudly, his face was full of joy.

Zhang Yuan thought to himself where this was, and fainted again.

The sunlight stimulated his eyes and woke him up, and the house was quiet and unoccupied, surrounded by birdsong.

This time his spirit was much better than the last time, he tried to get up again, but found that his whole body was still in pain, so he had to lie on the bamboo bed, and looked carefully into the room, and found that he was wearing a coarse cloth dress, with a high collar and a pair of shorts on his lower body, and the style was indeed very ugly.

Zhang Yuan sniffled, smelling a fishy smell, this smell was too familiar to him, and he thought to himself that this place is not far from the seaside, where is this, where is there such a poor place in the coastal area? Who is that old man?

Bearing back to his stomach full of doubts, he could only continue to look at the bead, which looked ordinary during the day, just an ordinary white stone.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a group of people passing by outside, all talking loudly, mixed with laughter from time to time.

The old man pushed open the bamboo door and came in, holding a bamboo basket in his hand and carrying a basket of fish on his back, and when he saw him wake up, he immediately stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed, muttering something.

Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly: "I can't understand a word of what you say, alas." ”

The old man was also dumbfounded, he couldn't understand what Zhang Yuan said at all. He walked out, and after a group of people discussed, he called a young man, pointed at Zhang Yuan, and said a lot. The young man nodded again and again, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, looked at Zhang Yuan, and pointed to himself and said three words. Zhang Yuan immediately reacted that he was talking about his name, Zhang Yuan carefully distinguished, although the pronunciation was a little strange, but he had often been out of archaeology over the years, and he had heard a lot of dialects from all over the world, and he could barely distinguish it: "Sleep power, water power, you call it water power." ”

Shui Li nodded happily and pointed to himself: "Shui Li" pointed at Zhang Yuan again, with an inquiring look on his face, Zhang Yuan smiled: "Zhang Yuan", Shui Li nodded and said: "Zhang Yuan" Both of them laughed.

In this way, Zhang Yuan stayed in this bamboo house for the time being, and his injuries took almost a month to recuperate before he could go to the ground, this month Shui Li would come over every noon and night to teach him to speak, and he also had a preliminary understanding of the world, people can practice according to the five elements of their body, the more people with a single attribute can be favored by the sect, like water power is the attribute of water and fire, and they are directly despised by the sect.

Because everyone is able to practice, people have a very long lifespan, ordinary people can live up to 400 years, and those who have achieved cultivation are said to be immortal.

Zhang Yuan's village is now in the range of a Tianmu Gate in Yangzhou, because there is a peculiar landscape of Tianhe, Tianhe is the place where Zhang Yuan fell, that place will have a large amount of water falling from the sky at this time of year, so it is called Tianhe, this village also has the name of Tianhe Village, according to Shui Lao, when the phenomenon of Tianhe was first discovered, many big people wanted to find out, but they were all in vain, but many big people gave the villagers a lot of benefits, the white bead is a night pearl, which is given by these big people。

On this day, Zhang Yuan followed Shui Lao out to sea for the first time, he stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the endless sea, like a blue silk spread into the distance, the sky is also blue like jasper, a few small boats in the village glide on the sea like a fairyland, I can't help but sigh in my heart, where on the earth to find such a pure place?

The boat had not gone far before it stopped, and the old man sat down cross-legged, while the other boats spread their nets to the bottom of the sea, laid a huge bag, and waited quietly.

Zhang Yuan looked at the fishing that was completely different from the fishing he was familiar with, and approached the hydraulic power of the same boat: "This is how you fish, don't you have to pull the net forward?"

"No, others want to fish, and there is Shui Lao here, we can just spread the net and wait!" Shui Li said proudly, and then explained: "Shui Lao is a pure water element, when those big people came in the past, they taught him how to control this water vitality, like now Shui Lao is to control this sea water and drive the fish directly to the fishing net....."

Zhang Yuan looked at such a large sea area, controlled such a large area, this water is so powerful, he is really a master, his mouth opened, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

At this time, Shui Lao opened his eyes, but his expression was a little tired: "Don't listen to his nonsense, the people who can control this sea area are at least ninth-level immortals, which can I do as a beginner, I just use my spiritual power as a bait to lure the fish over." ”

Shui Lao looked at Zhang Yuan, this person has become a fine man when he is old, and he still doesn't know a little idea in his heart, "I'll teach you this cultivation method when I go back to the village next time, but if you don't belong to the water system, then you can only wait for Tianmumen to come to our village to recruit disciples." ”

Zhang Yuan was excited, he could finally start practicing, since he entered this completely unfamiliar world, he has been taken care of, he is a proud person, naturally he does not want to be underestimated, he must make some achievements.....

"The fish came, and the boats began to collect their nets. The deep voice of the old man woke Zhang Yuan from his fantasy, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the surface of the water was densely packed with fish, and there were fish swimming in the distance.

"Hurry up, take this net and hurry up, Ergouzi, you row the boat neatly...."The water boss kept commanding, and the water power was also rowing the boat to the shore, Zhang Yuan was a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to disturb the water old commander, so he came up and asked the water power: "There are so many fish here, so don't want it, just leave?"

"If you don't leave now, wait for the cow fish in the sea to come, and we all have to stay!"

The fishing boat quickly docked, and everyone quickly carried the fish they caught, and rushed to the village without stopping, and the water power was not nervous at this time: "Zhang Yuan, you haven't seen a cow fish yet, have you? I'll take you to see it." With that, he pulled Zhang Yuan and ran to the high cliff on the other side, and some villagers laughed behind him.

The two of them hid behind a big rock, and the water force pointed to the sea in the distance: "Look, the cow fish is coming." ”

Zhang Yuan leaned out to look, only to see that the previous deep blue sea surface had become as black as ink, and the fish kept churning on the water surface, and suddenly the water surface seemed to explode, and a column of water rose into the sky, and a room-sized bull's head rushed out of the water, and two black horns were like two huge sickles shining in the sun. The bull's head stood upright on the surface of the water, its head did not move, but its big eyes turned strangely, searching, as if because it had not found anything, and roared again, and the bull's head smashed into the water, stirring up a huge circle of waves.

Zhang Yuan only felt that this roar was like a series of thunder ringing in his ears, and hurriedly covered his ears and shrank behind the big stone, only to see Shui Li covering his ears with a bad smile, he stroked his chest, looked at Shui Li speechlessly, and wanted to accuse him, but he found that he had no strength to speak, and he felt that a long time had passed, and he slowly stood up with Shui Li: "Let's go back." ”

Until the entrance of the village, Zhang Yuan still felt that his hands and feet were weak, and the fishermen who came back before saw the two of them coming back, and they all ran over and surrounded Zhang Yuan: "The kid is good! The first time I saw the cow fish, I didn't pee my pants!" "Yes! I remember the bastard of water power, and I was scared to faint, haha!" "You didn't go well before." The water power was shortened by the fishermen, and their faces were flushed with rebuttals, but the rebuttal looked pale and weak.

"Okay, don't you want to do anything? Hurry up and do what you should do, Zhang Yuan, you come with me. "Shui Lao appeared at the right time, Shui Lao's prestige was very high, and the fishermen quickly dispersed.

Zhang Yuan followed Shui Lao back to the bamboo house, and saw Shui Lao sitting at the bamboo table, so he walked to the opposite side and prepared to sit down, but he didn't expect Shui Lao to point to the bamboo bed: "You go there and do it cross-legged, I will teach you how to sense the water vitality." ”

Zhang Yuan was excited in his heart, and hurriedly sat cross-legged on the bamboo bed and looked at Shui Lao with an expectant face, and Shui Lao laughed when he was watched: "Zhang Yuan, you look so good like this." His expression changed, and he said very seriously: "Cultivation is a very serious matter, don't think about other things when you practice, it's not right for you to cross your knees like this, fold your left leg on your right leg, turn your feet to the sky, pinch the thumbs of both hands and place your middle fingers flat on your knees, palms facing the sky, your back is straight, the top of your head is in the middle, and your heart is ethereal." ”

Meditation is the basis of cultivation, whether it is absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth, or improving the divine consciousness, it is necessary to go through meditation, and the first meditation is because there are too many distracting thoughts, so it is difficult to enter the ethereal state, and it is difficult to feel the vitality of heaven and earth.

After meditating for the first time and being induced by the water elder for nearly half an hour, Zhang Yuan finally entered an ethereal state.

Shui Lao looked at Zhang Yuan, who had entered an ethereal state, smiled slightly, and sat cross-legged on the ground,

Suddenly, a large amount of water vitality gathered in the bamboo house, and in general, the distribution of the five elements of vitality is relatively even, and in certain places, there is more of a certain vitality, and at this time, Zhang Yuan was surrounded by water vitality.

"If you can't sense the water energy, then it's hopeless. Shui Lao said darkly.
