Chapter 3 Going to Sea
Zhang Yuan, who was meditating, only felt that he was in a black sea of oil, but he didn't have that thick feeling, he only felt that he was inhaling it in one breath, and all his pores were opened, and his whole body was fluttering, like sitting on a cloud.
I don't know how long it took, he woke up, he was still sitting cross-legged on the bed, the room was empty, Shui Lao didn't know when he had left, went out, and found that the sun was still in the middle of the sky, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but think, "I don't seem to have been meditating for long?"
Looking up and seeing Shui Lao coming from a distance, Zhang Yuan immediately stepped forward, and before he could reach, Shui Lao shouted and shouted: "Zhang Yuan, you wake up, you are really amazing, you meditated for a day for the first time, haha, it seems that our village is also going to produce a cultivation genius!"
Shui Lao didn't give Zhang Yuan a chance to speak, so he pulled Zhang Yuan into the house, and his mouth was still chattering: "I felt uncomfortable after sitting for less than an hour for the first time back then, and you are really amazing! Tell me about your induction." ”
Zhang Yuan had already wanted to ask, but he didn't have a chance to interject, at this time, he naturally said everything he sensed in meditation, when Shui Lao heard him sense the black oily water, his mouth opened wide, and it was estimated that he could stuff a few eggs, and he walked around the house excitedly, waved his hand and said, "Great, it's really a good physique." ”
Zhang Yuan was puzzled, Shui Lao knew that he didn't understand how to explain when he looked at his face: "Do you know what kind of situation I sensed, a trace of water vitality like a mist, you said that you are much stronger than me." ”
When Zhang Yuan heard this, he immediately grinned: "I didn't expect my physique to be so good!
"Okay, after lunch, I'll take you to the treasure land where I usually practice and teach you to practice" Shui Lao said happily and went out to find someone to cook.
Zhang Yuan didn't know the taste of the food he ate at this meal, and he smirked from time to time, Shui Lao also kept giggling, and the other villagers also knew the news that Zhang Yuan was in good shape and wanted to start practicing, and they all ran over to toast to congratulate.
After the meal, Shui Lao took Zhang Yuan out of the village and came to the bottom of a cliff by the sea, which was a huge backwater bay with cliffs on three sides, and a huge stone protruding from the inlet.
Shui Lao pointed to the stone: "That's where I practice, the water vitality here is dozens of times higher than in the village, and no one bothered it, and there are no powerful fish demons around here." ”
The two swam to the top of the big stone, Zhang Yuan found that the stone was dark and shiny, and the surrounding area had already been polished smooth because of the impact of the waves all year round, and if it wasn't for the help of Shui Lao just now, Zhang Yuan would not have been able to climb up at all.
"Okay, sit cross-legged, don't think too much, remember the way to enter the ethereal state, hold the god to the water, the intention to hold the water, in the dantian like melodious, gather but not disperse, then the hidden water and the external water, intersect in the dantian....."
Zhang Yuan entered the ethereal spirit, intending to hold the water with his gods, but this water vitality was very slippery, and he was not in a hurry, slowly his divine will wrapped the water vitality, and he suddenly felt a coolness in his brain, and suddenly woke up.
Seeing him wake up, Shui Lao hurriedly asked, "How is it?"
Zhang Yuan looked surprised, and said a little embarrassed: "I wrapped up the water vitality and found that my brain was cool, so I woke up." ”
Shui Lao smiled: "Yes, your comprehension is very strong, you can wrap it so quickly, remember to bring the water vitality into the dantian with divine will...."
Under the careful teaching of Shui Lao, Zhang Yuan embarked on the road of cultivation, in this small village, he became the second person under Shui Lao, he only needs to practice and practice every day, he does not need to go out to sea to fish, and even the meals are prepared and sent by the villagers.
After the practice was completed this day, Zhang Yuan only felt that the dantian was warm, and there was indeed a cool breath that kept wandering in the limbs and then recirculating into the dantian. He didn't know if this was a success in his cultivation, so he thought about going to Shui Lao and asking for advice, but when he looked up and saw that Shui Li had come to the shore, the next fierce man plunged into the water and swam towards the shore.
"Aren't you continuing to practice today?" asked Shui Li when he saw him coming ashore, knowing that he had been practicing on a big rock all the time.
"No, I still have something to ask Shui Lao, where is he now?"
"Hey, where can he be, he's drinking in the house right now. ”
The two immediately went back to the village, returned to the bamboo house, and when they saw Shui Lao, Shui Lao greeted him: "How is it, I haven't asked you how you feel?"
Zhang Yuan expressed his feelings, and asked, "How did Shui Lao use this water vitality to attract fish on the boat that day?"
Shui Lao touched his face: "Your speed is really good, you can cultivate the sense of qi at once, it is easy to attract fish, introduce the qi of the dantian into the spring on the soles of your feet, and then release it out of your body, you can feel it here." ”
Zhang Yuan tried it according to his words, and found that the water vitality on the soles of his feet was really thicker, and asked: "This should have other uses, can't it be fishing?"
Shui Lao glanced at him: "Didn't you see the scene of the battle between the two immortals here back then, all kinds of water knives, water walls, and water balloons were turned upside down, and the cow fish you saw died several times, and we ate it for a long time that time." ”
Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, isn't this the magic in fantasy novels that he used to read? He must learn: "Shui Lao, you can't hide your secrets, you have to teach me this." ”
When Shui Lao heard this, he slapped him on the head: "You kid, when did I hide my secrets, I don't know about that." I can know this, or the immortal who saw me running diligently back then taught me this, and the rest didn't tell me, even the method of attracting fish was still explored by myself. ”
The more he talked about the back, the quieter Shui Lao's voice became, and he was obviously a little embarrassed.
Zhang Yuan was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, he dared to follow such a master with a fresh trick!
Shui Lao was also very embarrassed when he saw Zhang Yuan's expression, his face was red and red, but fortunately, it was already dark, and he couldn't see it if he didn't look carefully. Shui Lao walked around the house, rubbing his hands constantly, and looked at Zhang Yuan from time to time, as if it was difficult to make a decision.
Zhang Yuan was also furious by this old man, and he didn't know what the old man was thinking.
There was a sound of "pop", and I saw Shui Lao say viciously: "Zhang boy, Lao Tzu, I'm out of the way, this is to help you, tomorrow I will take them out to sea to catch mackerel...."
"Catch mackerel, you have to go to the deep sea, that's too dangerous!" exclaimed Shui Li.
Shui Lao glanced at him: "Hmph, I don't know, and you come to teach, only if you catch a shark and give it to Tianmu Gate, can you let him enter the door to practice, otherwise it will be a waste of his physique." Besides, although the risk is big, only if Zhang Yuan has achieved cultivation in the future, the tribute of our village in the future can also be reduced a lot, and then everyone will have face on their faces when they go out, and there is no need to look at the face of the next village. ”
Shui Lao saw what else Shui Li was going to say, and waved his hand: "Needless to say, you go and inform everyone now, hurry up and prepare materials to go to sea, and go tomorrow." He turned his head and said to Zhang Yuan: "You don't have to worry about catching mackerel, you can practice with peace of mind." ”
Early the next morning, Shui Lao led many fishermen to set off, Zhang Yuan thought about it and said that he would also go together, but he was indeed sent back by Shui Lao: "Go and practice quickly, don't go to the door and embarrass the village." ”
A month passed quickly, Shui Lao took people around looking for mackerel, but he did not find a trace, because in the deep sea, every time a villager was injured, although no villager blamed Zhang Yuan, but Zhang Yuan was not happy.
On this day, Shui Lao was going to take someone to the sea again, and Zhang Yuan came over: "I have to go today, I can't watch everyone busy and injured for my business, I do practice there myself, so I can't practice with peace of mind." ”
Shui Lao thought for a while: "Okay, I'll take you over today, and give you more insight and knowledge." Hydraulic, you told him where you went today. ”
"Today we are going to search Swordfish Island, Swordfish Island is named after the swordfish all around, the swordfish is not big, just as long as our arms, but his mouth is very sharp, a blood hole, and can fly out of the water for a short time, so be especially careful. But this swordfish, as long as it doesn't affect them, they won't attack us. ”
Zhang Yuan thought to himself: "This fish is a bit like the flying fish in our world." Then he asked, "What is the mackerel like, and how do you catch it?"
"The upper body of the mackerel is the same as ours, that is, the lower body is the tail of the fish, and it likes to sing in various reef places to attract us, so we all wear earplugs, and this fish does not listen to his singing, that is, there is no harm at all. ”
Zhang Yuan was stunned when he heard this, isn't this the legendary mermaid on the earth? Even singing is so similar, is there any connection between the two worlds.
Along the way, Shui Lao was very nervous, and kept looking at the bow of the boat, and when he was about to reach Swordfish Island, he could already see groups of swordfish swimming underwater from time to time, and Zhang Yuan felt numb when he saw the long mouth. Not far ahead, Shui Lao ordered everyone to put on their earplugs, and when they saw the gesture, everyone also knew that they had reached a dangerous place, and they were more careful in their movements, and they didn't communicate anymore, only the boat was taxiing.
Shui Lao was still looking around at the bow of the boat, he didn't bring earplugs, and suddenly he turned his head sideways to listen, as if he heard something, and immediately showed a confused look on his face, and he was about to get off the boat with his feet raised.
Zhang Yuan and Shui Li have been paying attention to Shui Lao, paying attention to his gestures, at this time they found that the situation was wrong, and the two immediately stepped forward to hug him, but Zhang Yuan soon found that Shui Lao's strength was too great, and he couldn't hold it anymore, seeing that Shui Lao was about to step into the water, Zhang Yuan suddenly raised his fist and punched him on the head is two punches, Shui Li saw that Zhang Yuan punched him twice, Shui Lao's expression was obviously stunned, and he quickly brought Shui Lao's earplugs to him.
After Shui Lao put on the earplugs, he shook his head and said with some excitement: "It's amazing! Fortunately, you two have earplugs, it seems that we have found the mackerel." ”
After a few gestures in a row, the boats behind were scattered, and soon a mackerel was found on a large reef, Zhang Yuan looked at it, and sure enough, the body was fishtailed, the eyes were empty, and the mouth was singing one by one, but because everyone was wearing earplugs, this song was not lethal at all.
Everyone cautiously approached the mackerel, and when they were about to approach the reef, a boat behind them suddenly touched the reef below, only to see the mackerel stop singing, listen to the past, and suddenly jump up and jump into the sea.
Shui Lao shouted and grabbed the fishing net on the bow of the boat and threw it out, this time the fishing net was cast quickly and accurately, and the shark was caught in the air, and the shark that was caught in the net fell into the sea, and was still desperately trying to escape, Shui Lao laughed, tightened the rope in his hand, and pulled the shark to the side of the boat in a few clicks, Zhang Yuan also hurriedly stepped forward to help, and the two quickly pulled the shark up.
