Chapter 17: The Storm (2)

According to the records of the "Geographical Chronicles", our world is known to have five continents, and the center of the world is, of course, the middle earth of the world, and the imperial capital is the center of the middle earth of the world. Since the era of ignorance, it has been the place of the Chinese royal system, and for thousands of years - through the era of civilization, the era of martial arts, and the era of cultivation (our current era), our royal city in China has never been easier.

Beyond the imperial capital is the Central Plains and Kyushu, and the four outer seas envelop the middle of the world.

The people of the thousands of nations and billions of nations outside the middle of the world are collectively called barbarians by us.

Crossing the four seas beyond the four seas is the land of barbarians

- The four wilderness continents of east, west, south and north.

The phenological geography of the Great Wilderness cannot be speculated with common sense, for example, the change of seasons and the growth of grains that we are familiar with in the Central Plains are completely useless in the Great Wilderness.

You have to accept and adapt to any situation that goes against your common sense in the wilderness.

Baiyun Township is not a great wilderness in the strict sense.

The nautical charts say that it is a large island in the eastern ocean, which belongs to the periphery of the Great Wilderness, just as the four seas are the periphery of Middle-earth.

But common sense cannot be applied to the geography and meteorology of Baiyun Township.

The Big Island is covered like a wall by a year-round storm ring, completely cut off from the outside world.

It is impossible to swim by manpower.

The charts were made 100 years ago, and the explorers flew through the sky and did not actually land on the island, but only from the air.

Well, that's right, this chart was drawn by a cultivator.

And it's a disciple of the Immortal Family who can fly with a sword.

At that time, my father robbed an ocean-going fleet and snatched the heirloom from the owner.

- If one day he can't get along in the Central Plains, he will take his whole family to hide in this isolated place.

The picture is still in my hands, and my father and mother are no longer there.

Speaking of which, this roll of parchment has a longer lifespan than a human being.

Don't know if I'll live the life of this chart?

I can already smell the salty, wet and sticky sea breeze, just like the residents of coastal towns can observe the abnormal celestial phenomenon of a tornado passing through a few days in advance.

Will the dhow we both be able to make it through?

My father's original plan was to use the building ship to force the storm ring through the storm ring - his estimate was that the storm ring was at most a mile thick, and I asked him about the method of calculation, and he told me that I was using the genius patent of "slapping the brain".

I think our building ship might be able to withstand a mile thick storm wall, but the chances of a dhow getting through guò are slim.

- Less than a tenth.

I learned from my father that he used the "pat the brain" estimation method.

- But we can't turn the ship's head around, because there are not enough resources for our ship to drift to any nearby uninhabited island (if there were, this chart would have been marked a long time ago), and Baiyun Township is the only way we know of survival.

On a whim:

If I take "boiled eggs" for a few days in a row (leaving aside the slag issue for the time being), then I have saved enough energy (like winding up a machine to briefly increase the durability of three or four times the current one), and then I will hold on until the sailboat is broken by the storm, and then jump into the sea and swim across the sea, wondering if I can get through the storm wall?

I'm wondering if I should tell Murong Zhi about this plan, maybe she can come up with a better supplement?

But thinking of my stiff relationship with her in recent days, I'm embarrassed to open this mouth.

When Murong Zhi and I were on rotation, I was tossing and rolling on the blanket in the back cabin, and I couldn't sleep honestly.

"Say something, don't be weird, it's noisy. ”

Murong Zhi said lightly in the front cabin.

"Ah, you smell the storm, too, do you have any plan to get there? ”

I didn't tell her about my plan, and waited for her to ask for less.

"We still have three days to prepare, and it's a tough hurdle to pass, so we need to give each other our own answers. How many spells do you know?"

- It turned out that Murong Zhi saw me use spells against Hondo that day. I don't know if she saw the fire spell or the thunder spell?

This is Lao Tzu's hole card!

When I used the fire spell, I wondered if she was really enchanted by sweat pills?

She should have seen it when I used the Thunder Charm, but was she in her mind then?

"What spell?"

If you can pretend to be stupid, I'll pretend to be confused.

"That day you pounced on Hondo and dug his face, and the tips of your five fingers came out with an arc of lightning, cutting out the flesh and bones like a drill. I guess I'm not mistaken. You don't have this kind of physical ability, I think it belongs to the thunder and lightning spell, it should be good. ”

I was going to say something like this, "You might have gotten dizzy when you took the pills" or something like that. But her eyes are aggressive, my skin is more tender, and I didn't play tricks after all.

"Well, it's called the Thunder Curse, I've been doing it since I was a child, and I brought it from my mother's womb. ”

"It turned out to be Su Hui. Murong Zhi lowered his head and pondered, "My Su Hui is fluent in dialects and fluent, and the bloodline of the Murong royal family is there, and he can quickly and fluently use the languages of other races and memorize the content of books. In this case, it will not be useful. ”

No wonder she could read so many books at the age of six and a half, but this information is useless to me, and it is not a skill to fight natural disasters at all. She deliberately put out the bait to set my hole cards.

"Actually, I don't know how to use it? haha. At that time, I was in a hurry to save you, so I came up. ”

"But I see you're tricky when you shoot fireballs, and if it weren't for Honda's preparation, you'd have made a successful raid. It's called the Fire Charm, you're pretty skilled. ”

Is she really resistant to sweat medicine? I saw it with a fire spell! Then pretending to sleep that day and seeing me being Bendobian was also testing whether I had bad intentions towards her?

It's too cloudy!

"Well, let's be honest. But my fire and thunder spells are of no use to us to carry the storm. And the use of spells consumes vitality, and the spells were originally used by the Taoist priests who should build the foundation realm, and I am already reluctant to use such a shallow internal skill. You can also see that I fainted after using a fire spell and a thunder spell. ”

She sighed and said gloomily,

"It seems that your Su Hui is all offensive spells, if there are defensive and controlling spells, I may have some way. When the time comes, let's paddle hard to escape, and I hope that the sky will not die to my great swallow. You are not bound by destiny, so you can ask for more blessings for your little life. ”

- Your life is noble, you little girl is the illegitimate son of the Heavenly Dao! But the descendant of the chief of a small barbarian tribe for a thousand years!

"Hey, since I'm going to die, let's do it one last time. I wanted to touch a woman before I died, and you haven't tasted a man before you have ever tasted it - I'll be honest. ”

I thought that I might die as a virgin in a storm or in the mouth of a fish, and I couldn't help but cry out my instincts.

But I grew more and more timid when I said the last few words, for I saw her begin to touch the alfonsino, and at last my voice was so small that I could only hear it.

"I've also thought about it," Murong Zhi tucked the dagger and inserted it back, "If I'm a man, I might as well let you do a few handfuls." This way you have a chance of conceiving the offspring of our Great Swallow. If we survive in any of our lives, Dayan still has hope for revival. Unfortunately, gender cannot be changed. Doing it with you once won't help me continue Dayan, so why should I waste my swimming body three days later to let you, a little robber, enjoy it?"

- Damn, you're too principled!

I went back to the back cabin to prepare for self-, and suddenly blessed my soul,

"You said I wanted defensive and mastery spells, could you come up with a way to get past the storm wall?"

Murong Zhi's eyes lit up.

"I'm not in the habit of joking. ”

She certainly didn't have a sense of humor since she was a child.

"I still have a wind spell! this is my last Su Hui spell!"

I put my palms together. A wind wheel swirls around my folded palms.

I can keep enlarging this wind wheel, and even make it propel our ship forward with full sails.

But I need a lot of refill.

Otherwise, I can only maintain this wind wheel to the size of the wheel of the car, and save 60 breaths for zài time.

"Can you shape this wind wheel, like make it into a hood, a wind shield that can cover people?"

"Try it. ”

......

There is a talk in "Sou Shen Ji" (I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I have not learned immortals. The following read from the history of the wild, I am not responsible for saying that I am wrong),

The more energy consumed, the longer the effect of the spell will last, and the more intense and incredible the effect will be.

The spell is composed of three rings: one is the thought, the second is the speech, and the third is the hair.

"Reading" is the first link.

The yin spirit of man is gathered by three souls and six spirits, and the soul is gathered by thousands of small thoughts. The practitioner is able to use the "name" to communicate "有" ("有" is a general term for all things in the world, imagination and reality, this noun comes from the "Tao Te Ching", please review it by yourself, it is said that every world has a "Tao Te Ching", and you should also have a copy of it.) )

"Words" is the second ring.

Words include runes, sound spells, mudras, flags, lanterns and other symbolic systems, which are tools for shaping "names". Just as humans use words and other symbols to give names to all things in the world, the caster will use specific "words" to give him a "name" for the "being" or combination of "beings" to be created. For example, the carrier of the "words" of the alchemy casters is the runes on the runes, while the casters of the Neidan sect prefer to use the syllables they breathe out as the carrier of the "words".

"Hair" is the third ring.

As the name suggests, it is the action of releasing the "thought" after the "speech" has been shaped.

My three mantras of wisdom also contain these three components.

The thoughts of thunder, fire, and wind need to be thought of by myself, and "words" are the three runes that have been imprinted in my soul, so to outsiders, I don't need to waste time to cast spells directly. I didn't skip the process of reciting mantras, drawing talismans, making mudras, and so on.

It's just that in these three limited spells, my second ring "Yan" is quite advanced and has an instantaneous effect.

......

The "wind" appeared in my mind, and then I rejected its wheel-like appearance and thought of it as a hood covering my whole body, and this thought was shaped by the wind spell in my soul, and then I completed the "hair" part of the final palm.

The hood that covered me appeared, and it lasted for thirty breaths.

"Great!"

Murong Zhi's compliment made me proud, and I made her worship for a while.

"Write out the wind spell in your brand, I have a way. ”

Suspiciously, I drew the incantation in my head on the deck

- It's a very, very complex rune image (unfortunately, I can't put it into words, after all, language is limited and doesn't provide a visual experience.) )

Murong Zhi watched me finish painting without blinking—I followed the imprint in my mind, and it took me an hour to draw all the details—"Sou Shen Ji" said that drawing runes requires an attitude of walking on thin ice, and the slightest mistake may make the spell completely fail, and even turn into another unknown spell that is dangerous to the caster and go against the wind.

"Do you want to think of the wind in the shape of a hood, just like when we practice internal skills?

I nodded, the spells of the Dao Gate have the same origin as our internal strength, and it is indeed a method of contemplation.

After Murong Zhi was sure, she took a few steps back, her eyes became misty, she maintained this state for about three hundred breaths (I lost patience for a while, suspecting that she was stupid), and suddenly clasped her palms.

A hood appeared that covered her entire body, lasting twenty-seven breaths.

"From now on, we will be able to build a thicker wind shield before the food runs out and the dregs accumulate to the dangerous stage, perhaps through the storm wall. ”

"How did you do it!"

I exclaimed.

Could it be that she finished stealing my wind spell while watching me draw talismans?

It's only been an hour!

I was born and can leave it alone. According to the "Sou Shen Ji", the average Taoist priest needs to study hard for three years to master this kind of earth-shattering spell!

"This is the effect of my ancestral little incompatible. If we can ascend to the land of Baiyun Township, I can teach you as a thank you for your wind spell. ”

- I knew that I would have asked you to give me a shot as a thank you.

I regret it.
