Chapter Ninety-Five: The Way to Get the Waterwheel Turning Again
When the old man of Peach Blossom Village heard that Liu Qing was a person who cultivated immortals.
He said a problem that has been bothering everyone in the past few days.
Hearing that the old man asked himself to help, he pushed the giant waterwheel used to irrigate the farmland again.
Liu Qing had some doubts in her heart.
Judging from the type of spiritual skills he currently mastered, there didn't seem to be any one that was more suitable.
Beyond the bronze bell, the three elders glanced at each other.
"In the second illusion just now, Liu Qing successively performed the Earth Escape Technique, the Divine Walking Technique, the Green Spirit Sword Duel, and the Dead Wood Spring Technique.
These four spiritual skills are considered to have been mastered perfectly, right? ”
Elder Hao looked at Elder Xu who was sitting in the middle.
"Perfect mastery."
Elder Xu nodded, and then continued:
"It's just this third illusion, asking Liu Qing to help the villagers turn the giant waterwheel, what do the two elders think?"
"In my opinion, this round of illusion should be an examination of some kind of spiritual skill that Liu Qing has mastered that can strengthen his strength.
After all, he was only the strength of the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Realm now, although his strength was much greater than that of ordinary people.
But the waterwheel couldn't even push the combined efforts of several prime people in Peach Blossom Village, and it might be difficult for Liu Qing to push it by consuming spiritual power alone. ”
After Elder Zhen finished speaking, the other two elders also nodded in agreement.
"That's it, but I don't know which kind of spiritual skill Liu Qing has mastered that can strengthen his strength?
Let's move on. ”
At this time, whether it was Elder Xu or the other two elders of the outer gate, they already looked at Liu Qing differently.
As far as they knew, Li Mu, the great elder of the sect, had a very strange temperament and rarely interacted with people.
Even the other five elders in the body of elders knew very little about him.
I only knew that the strength of the Great Elder had already broken through the peak of the Jindan Realm decades ago.
As for the extent of his current strength, no one knows at all.
This Elder Li Mu is free and easy by nature, unless there is any major incident in the sect.
Otherwise it would be almost impossible to see him show up.
The last time Elder Xu saw the Great Elder was when he officially took over as the Inner Gate Elder.
He remembered that the Great Elder was riding on an old ox and wearing shabby coarse linen clothes.
He also held a shiny wine gourd in his hand.
Although the Great Elder's eyes were cloudy and his expression was confused, the momentum that was inadvertently released.
All of them made Elder Xu, who had already reached the Jindan realm, tremble.
So, even after so many years, he still remembers that scene vividly.
As for Elder Hao and Elder Zhen of the outer gate, they had only heard of the Great Elder, and they had not even seen his true face.
Now that Liu Qing can get the personal inheritance of the Great Elder, his weight must definitely be above that Wei Junjie.
This was also the reason why Elder Xu felt a headache when he learned that Liu Qing had a relationship with the Great Elder.
He had just made a promise to the Third Elder the day before yesterday to take care of Wei Junjie.
Now, if the only place is given to Liu Qing, wouldn't it be equivalent to directly slapping the three elders in the face?
"Alas......"
Thinking of this, Elder Xu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Forget it, let's take one step at a time, if it really doesn't work, let's go to the three elders for a showdown." ’
Let them, the elders of the elder group, find a way to fight for themselves. ’
In the illusion realm, although Liu Qing did not find a suitable spiritual skill for the time being.
But he is still relatively confident in his own strength.
"Since that waterwheel is related to the irrigation of farmland in the village, this is a major event that cannot be delayed."
"Why don't you take me there now, and I'll try to help you get that waterwheel spinning again."
After listening to Liu Qing's words, the old man actually smiled and shook his head.
"Don't be in a hurry, it's not a matter of a day or two for this waterwheel to stop rotating, and it's not too late to repair it a little later."
"It's time for this meal, let's eat first."
Although Liu Qing was very eager to complete the task.
But he still understands the truth that the guest is as he pleases.
Although everything in this Peach Blossom Village is just an illusion created by the bronze bell, Liu Qing likes everything here.
So he didn't want to brush off the old man's kindness anymore.
Soon, the young woman brought the meal to the table.
Through the number of meals on the table, Liu Qing was surprised to find.
The living standards of the villagers in this Peach Blossom Village are several grades higher than those of ordinary people in the outside world.
On this table, there are vegetables and meat, and the combination of meat and vegetables actually meets the standard of four dishes and one soup.
This quality of life, even if it is the world where Liu Qing lived in the previous life, not all families can do it.
When the meal was served, the young woman helped an old lady out of the house.
The old man looked at the rest of his family and introduced Liu Qing one by one.
It turned out that the old man's surname was Zhang, and the old lady who was helped out was his wife.
As for the young woman who had just been cooking, it was his daughter-in-law, Bai Cha.
Zhang's husband and wife, plus their daughter-in-law Baicha and their little grandson, their family of four sat at the dining table.
looked at Liu Qing, the person from outside.
"Little Brother Liu, don't be stunned, eat quickly."
"Although our Peach Blossom Village is located in a remote area and the types of food are relatively scarce, the cooking skills of white tea are good."
When Liu Qing heard this, he directly picked up a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth.
Although the meal lacks some condiments, it retains the original flavor of the ingredients.
It tastes good.
In this way, accompanied by Zhang's family of four, Liu Qing finished his first meal in Peach Blossom Village.
By this time, the sun was already setting in the west.
It was getting dark.
Uncle Zhang looked at Liu Qing with a smile on his face.
"It's getting late today, so my little brother will stay at my house first.
Tomorrow morning, after dinner, I'll take you to the watermill. ”
Thinking that this is just a world in an illusion, the speed of time is different from the outside world.
Liu Qing agreed.
Under Zhang's arrangement, Liu Qing lived in a side room.
At night, in the dead of night.
Liu Qing lay on the kang and couldn't sleep.
He couldn't help but start thinking about the waterwheel in Peach Blossom Village.
If you use the elimination method, remove the psionic skills that have already been used in the first and second rounds of illusions.
The only spiritual skills that Liu Qing has not yet used are the Transfiguration Technique, the Breathing Technique, the Wood Escape Technique, and the Water Escape Technique.
and the basic boxing techniques he learned at the beginning.
None of this seems to have anything to do with a giant waterwheel.
"Could it be that I was allowed to use the Wooden Escape Technique to merge with the wooden waterwheel, and then turn it on its own. ’
That's ridiculous. ’
Liu Qing shook his head, a little helpless.
Forget it, let's wait until tomorrow to see the waterwheel." ’
"Sleep, sleep!"
Seeing that Liu Qing in the illusion realm really fell asleep, the faces of the three elders in front of the projection stone became very strange.
As a cultivator whose strength had reached the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm, Liu Qing could completely use cultivation as a substitute for sleep.
How can he sleep at his age!
However, as the three elders thought in their hearts.
Liu Qing really couldn't sleep.
Because when he had just closed his eyes and was ready to fall asleep.
He heard a faint cry outside the window.
The voice was sometimes rapid, sometimes low, staccato and looming.
If it weren't for Liu Qing's keen hearing, I'm afraid it would be difficult to find out.
"Maybe that person thought of something sad, and he felt it."
Liu Qing clearly knew that his mission this time was to help the villagers of Taohua Village push the water wheel.
Therefore, he didn't want to ask about the rest.
But after lying down again, the crying sound seemed to echo in Liu Qing's ears.
It became clearer.
Liu Qing sat up again and looked out the window.
But I found that outside my window, there was one more person at some point.
"I'll go!"
Liu Qing subconsciously took a few steps back.
After he could see the man's appearance completely, the panic in his heart slowly dissipated.
It turned out that the man outside his window was none other than him.
It was Zhang's daughter-in-law, the young woman with good cooking skills, white tea.
"White Tea Girl, ...... are you?"
Liu Qing opened the door and looked at Bai Cha, who was standing outside with a sad face.
I don't know what happened.
Bai Cha wiped her tears with her sleeve and looked at him pitifully.
"Young Master Liu, I heard my father say that you are a cultivator, I wonder if you can bring people back to life?"
"Back from the dead?!"
When he heard the words "come back to life" from Bai Cha's mouth, Liu Qing subconsciously hesitated.
Although people who have entered the path of Qi cultivation can use spiritual power to exert some means that are different from ordinary people.
But in the end, there are some rules and restrictions that must be followed.
And those who have died, the decay of the flesh and the dissipation of the soul, want to give them life again.
It's something that is outside the scope of the rules.
Not to mention Liu Qing, even if it is a powerhouse of the Transformation God Realm standing here now.
It is also completely impossible to bring the dead back to life.
Therefore, in the face of Bai Cha's questioning, Liu Qing had to shake his head.
"We cultivators are not omniscient and omnipotent, and this art of resurrection is not within my grasp."
I heard Liu Qing say that he had no choice.
White Tea instantly became a little depressed.
She left Liu Qing's current state in a daze, and she didn't say hello to him.
Just staggered and left.
Liu Qing didn't pay too much attention to this, but turned around and went back to his room.
Early the next morning.
Liu Qing got up early in the morning.
He never had a habit of snoozing in other people's homes.
After drinking a large bowl of rice porridge made of white tea, Mr. Zhang took Liu Qing to the big river north of the village.
Liu Qing saw the giant wooden waterwheel in the middle of the river at a glance.
That's when it dawned on him.
No wonder the combined efforts of more than a dozen young adults in Peach Blossom Village could not push it forward.
This watermill is really too big.
It was hard for Liu Qing to imagine how such a huge waterwheel could have been built.
"It's really the wisdom of working people."
At this time, several villagers who were working near the river also stopped what they were doing.
They heard that there was a cultivator from Zhang's house, who was able to use immortal magic to help them turn the waterwheel again.
They all gathered around this side.
"Is this little brother the one who can help us?"
"It's been a long time since this waterwheel has been spinning, please help us."
"Yes, our village relies on the help of this waterwheel to divert water for irrigation, and if the waterwheel does not rotate, the harvest of our farmland will be greatly reduced."
"Little fairy, as long as you can help our village turn this waterwheel again, I will go back to kill pigs and cattle now, and set up a banquet for you."
Surrounded by everyone, Liu Qing slowly came to the front of this giant waterwheel.
Before seeing it, Liu Qing was quite confident in his strength.
But when he really saw the huge scale of this waterwheel, the confidence that existed in his heart became gone.
It's just that with his strength at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm, he wants to rely on pure strength to turn this waterwheel.
I'm afraid it's hard, it's hard.
But Liu Qing turned around and saw the eager eyes of the villagers of Peach Blossom Village.
Now he can only try his best.
So, Liu Qing gritted his teeth and walked quickly to the giant waterwheel in front of him.
He stretched out his hands and grabbed the huge gears of the waterwheel with all his might.
"Immortal Liu, exert yourself!"
"Hard, you can do it!"
On the shore, the cheers and shouts of the villagers of Taohua Village were heard.
Liu Qing concentrated all the spiritual power in his body on his two arms.
I had enough strength to exert force on the gears of the waterwheel.
However, no matter how hard he tried, this giant waterwheel was like a thousand-year-old turtle.
Still motionless.
Liu Qing turned the waterwheel for the first time and failed.
"Huh? Wouldn't it, even the Liu Immortal can't do it? ”
"Then our village won't be able to use this waterwheel in the future."
"Without the help of this waterwheel, what would I do with my family's few acres of farmland?"
Although the watermill has stopped working for many days, the villagers are still hopeful that they will be able to turn it again.
But right now, even Liu Qing, a cultivator, can't turn it.
So where will they, ordinary people, have a chance?
"Is this little brother really an immortal? I don't think he looks any different from us. ”
"If it were an immortal, it wouldn't be a problem to turn such a waterwheel, I now suspect that he was deceiving us at all."
Among the villagers, there are already voices of skepticism.
Zhang Laozhang stood up at this time and spoke for Liu Qing.
"I believe in Little Brother Liu, he will never deceive me."
"Let's all be patient, little brother, he will definitely find a way."
After hearing Zhang's words, everyone quieted down.
As the eldest old man, Mr. Zhang still has a certain prestige in Peach Blossom Village.
Without the interference of everyone's words, Liu Qing looked at the giant wooden waterwheel.
I thought about a way to do it.
'Do you really have to use the Wood Escape Technique?' ’
But what an outrageous method this is. ’
Although there is a lot of reluctance in his heart, this is the only way Liu Qing can try at present.
So, he pinched the formula with his right hand and said something in his mouth.
Under the surprised gaze of the villagers of Peach Blossom Village
In an instant, he was in the wooden waterwheel.
Completely gone.
"Oh my God, this willow fairy has turned into a waterwheel!"
