Chapter 168 Qiantang Tide
Chapter 168 Qiantang Tide
Last time, we talked about how Shan Yiling brought reinforcements from the Taoist Di Sect to Lingyin Temple and resolved the crisis at Lingyin Temple. So how will the story develop next? Let's read on.
Qiu Xiong frowned when he saw many Earth Sect Taoist priests rushing over, and said in a cold voice: "Hmph! Beauty, you are outnumbered today, so I'll let you go first. It's best not to let me meet you alone!"
Yi Ling said coldly: "It's not that easy to leave! Tell me quickly, where is your master Huang Luxian?"
Qiu Xiong smiled contemptuously and turned around, trying to escape using earth escape. Yi Ling quickly formed a seal and shouted, "Shrinking the Earth Technique - Seal!"
Qiu Xiong, who had already burrowed into the ground, was suddenly ejected. He looked at Yi Ling with a fierce look and said, "You are courting death!"
Yi Ling picked up the peach wood sword and said solemnly: "Qiu Xiong, I have tracked your spiritual power. I will not let you escape this time!"
Qiu Xiong shouted: "Then I'll kill you first!" Then he swung his spear and killed Yi Ling.
Yi Ling knew that she was no match for Qiu Xiong in terms of martial arts, physical skills, or spiritual power, so she would not fight him head-on. She would make full use of her magic advantage and the terrain of the mountain. At the moment when Qiu Xiong rushed over, she pinched the talisman with her hand, made a seal, and shouted: "Invisibility!"
Li Yi watched Yi Ling disappear and thought: Wow! It really exists! There really is an invisibility technique! This is amazing! The one in the Japanese movie... Bah! Li Yi, are you still a human? How can you have such a dirty mind at this time! You are not well! On behalf of the moon, I spit on you!
Just as Li Yi sighed heartfeltly, Qiu Xiong swung the five-colored five-bladed halberd to chop down a big tree, and then leaped to another place.
Li Yi started to wonder, "Shit, it seems this invisibility technique has a flaw. Qiu Xiong seems to be able to sense where Yi Ling is. It seems this technique can only fool ordinary people." Hiss, how did he do it? What should I do if I encounter an opponent who can become invisible in the future? Thinking of this, Li Yi closed his eyes and tried to use his soul power to sense everything around him...
It should be explained here that the first three of the nine levels of martial arts are refining essence, refining qi, and refining spirit. Refining essence is the level of refining mental power, in order to improve one's own mental power to prepare for the next level of refining qi. Martial artists also use mental power to control the qi base, so if you want the qi base to exert greater power, you must have a stronger mental power.
The Qi Refining Realm is to cultivate the strength of the heart and lungs, so that one can mobilize more Qi. Qi is essentially the same as talent and righteousness, and is a form of existence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, except that Qi is transformed by the warrior through the strength of the heart and lungs.
The realm of refining the spirit is to train one's divine power, that is, the power of the soul. After entering the realm of refining the spirit, a warrior will gain a unique warning of danger for warriors. This is a manifestation of the strength of the soul, and the foundation of the realm of refining the spirit determines the upper limit of the warrior's fourth-grade clear intention realm.
There are many kinds of martial arts, but they can be roughly divided into four categories: strength, speed, defense, and attribute changes. Among them, attribute changes are the most difficult, just like Liu Ruyun's use of Qi to condense water into ice, or turn Qi into fire, which are all attribute changes. If you want your own Mingyi to be attribute changes, the key lies in the foundation of the spirit training realm. Only when the foundation of the spirit training is laid and the soul is strong enough can it be done.
If a fourth-grade warrior is compared to a tank with both offensive and defensive capabilities, then the ninth-grade refining essence realm determines the range of the artillery; the eighth-grade refining qi realm determines the ammunition load; the seventh-grade refining spirit realm determines the quality of the radar system; the sixth-grade copper skin and iron bones realm naturally determines the strength of the armor; the fifth-grade transformation of energy realm determines the maneuverability; and the fourth-grade enlightenment realm determines the power of the artillery.
This example can clearly illustrate the role of each grade of a warrior. The reason why warriors have to practice every morning and evening is that these grades are relatively independent. If they do not practice, the realm of the corresponding grade will decline.
Take the Dugu family as an example. Dugu Rong, the King of Zhenbei, had reached the peak of the fourth level of martial arts when he was young. But after he became the King of Zhenbei, he was old, and there were too many things to deal with every day and he had no time to practice anymore, so his martial arts levels declined.
Although he is still a fourth-grade martial artist, this old tank moves slower, its gun can't fire far and its power is not great, its radar doesn't work well, and even its armor has aged, leaving only a mighty-looking shell.
Let's talk about Dugu Long. Although they are both at the fourth level of martial arts, there is still a big difference in strength. The reason why he is strong is that he has a very solid foundation in each level of martial arts. Unlike some people who only click on one skill point at each level in order to quickly advance to the fourth level, and then break through to the next level. Dugu Long upgrades after maxing out the skill points of each level, just like a hexagonal warrior, a big devil among the fourth-level warriors.
I've gone off topic. I can't help it. As Feng Lin's debut work, this book is also intended to establish a complete system and world, so there are more explanations. This is all preparation for the next book, the story of Li Yi's daughter, Li Ruolin. The title of the book has been thought of, "Fairy is also Shura", which is a fairy-tale novel with a strong female protagonist and many male protagonists.
Well, the compass is spinning. Li Yi closed his eyes and tried to use the power of his soul to sense everything around him. This was like following the path of a martial artist refining his spirit. The Taoist sect had a special spell called the Spiritual Sense Technique, which was basically the same idea. Let's use the previous example of radar to explain how to judge the strength of a radar. There are five main points to look at:
1. Detection distance. For a warrior, it is naturally the range that can be sensed. If an arrow is shot from a distance, being detected at 5 meters away from you and being detected at 10 meters away from you will definitely give you different reaction time and space.
2. Detection time. Turning on the radar consumes a lot of power, so how long it can be turned on is crucial.
3. Detection frequency. For a warrior, the time interval between two crisis warnings determines his life or death. Therefore, to deal with a warrior, in addition to preventing him from changing his qi base, you can also use the gaps in the crisis warnings to launch a surprise attack.
4. Detection accuracy. This indicator is too clear to explain.
5. Anti-interference ability. This is very powerful. When a warrior faces a Taoist master, his spiritual power is often weaker than that of the opponent. The Taoist will use his own spiritual power to suppress the warrior, causing the crisis warning function to fail. In this case, the warrior will definitely suffer a loss.
Li Yi released his spiritual power and then recovered it, imitating the way radar worked, but the effect was not great. There was only a mottled image in his mind. This was because his control over his spiritual power was not strong enough, or he had not yet mastered the ability to convert the information fed back by the spiritual power into images.
At this moment, Qiu Xiong's feet suddenly turned into a quagmire, his feet sank deeply into it, and then many vines grew from the surrounding trees and entangled his hands and torso. Qiu Xiong watched the flames burning towards him along the vines, and raised his mouth. He just deliberately exposed a flaw, because as long as Yi Ling used magic to attack, the fluctuation of spiritual power would instantly expose her position.
Qiu Xiong gathered his strength to tear off the vines and threw the halberd in his hand towards Li Yi, who was still closing his eyes to try the spiritual radar. Yi Ling naturally wanted to save him, so he seized this opportunity to intercept her halfway and kicked her away. The latter stopped after crashing into a few trees, and the invisibility talisman became invalid. She looked towards Li Yi nervously.
Our great talent Li stood on the halberd with his eyes closed, shaking his finger in a relaxed manner, and said, "Master Qiu's plan is a bit mean!" In the critical moment, Li Yi's spiritual radar worked! He could clearly sense the things around him.
Yi Ling breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's been so long, haven't you rested enough?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "I have just mastered a new technology, let's call it Bat Sound Power." The name of Bat Sound Power came to him on a flash of inspiration. Isn't radar invented by imitating the echolocation of bats?
Yi Ling said unhappily: "It's already this late, and you still have the mind to try new skills. I can't deal with this guy by myself, why don't you come and help!"
Li Yi suddenly showed a hint of surprise on his face, and then he shouted: "Be careful, there is a shock wave!" As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly blew, just like the shock wave generated by an explosion. This was not as simple as flying sand and rocks, it was more appropriate to say that it was a typhoon passing through, it was just like a typhoon, it was destroying everything in its path, breaking branches and breaking trees, and people couldn't stand steadily.
Yi Ling leaned against a tree and was not blown away, and Li Yi held onto Qiu Xiong's halberd and managed to stabilize his body. Qiu Xiong's legs were stuck in the mud and were not blown away, but he was covered in mud. He wiped his face with his hand and looked to the east in astonishment.
Li Yi came to Yi Ling and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Yi Ling tidied her hair and asked in confusion: "What's going on? Where did such a strong wind come from?"
Li Yi shook his head and sighed: "It's not over yet."
Yi Ling was surprised and asked, "It's not over yet, what do you mean?"
Qiu Xiong snorted coldly, "This was caused by the fight between King Shura and the foreign monk. They must have fought on the sea, and the strong wind blew here. Humph, this is the strength of the second level of the extraordinary realm!"
Yi Ling had a question mark in her mind, because her master Tao Xuan Zhenren was a Taoist second-grade immortal. However, in her impression, her master was just an old man. Although she knew that her master was very powerful, she had never seen her master really use his strength. She muttered in her mind: Can that old man be so powerful? It seems unlikely...
At this time, thunderous sounds from afar interrupted Yi Ling's thoughts. The three of them looked in the direction of the sound at the same time. One of them said:
Suddenly I heard drumbeats in the sky and realized that thunder was coming from the east.
The silver armors were arrayed in Qiantang Village, and Ling Feng took advantage of the situation to become more heroic.
With thousands of troops fighting for a moment, there is no need to worry about the city gates not opening.
The waves crash against the shore, hundreds of feet high, and the mountains and tigers are shaken with righteousness.
The three of them watched the Qiantang tide rushing past, with waves several feet high crashing into the mountains and returning, all filled with emotion. You know, the time and size of the tide are wrong. The biggest tide is on August 18 every year, but it's only been a few months, and the waves are a bit scary. It feels like the river bank may be destroyed at any time.
Although the embankment of Qiantang River held, other places were not so lucky. The tsunami caused by the battle between Bodhitara and Shura King not only caused seawater to flow back into the Qiantang River, but also affected all the water systems flowing into the East China Sea, with the Yellow River being the most affected.
As the seawater rushed to the mouth of the Yellow River, it blocked the mouth of the river, and eventually the Yellow River took over the Huai River. The people of the Northern Wei and Southern Liang all suffered. The Northern Wei was relatively better off because it was far away and the seawater receded quickly. The Southern Liang was miserable because the Yellow River water rolled into the Huai River with silt, and the Huai River embankment broke in many places. This was really a fight between gods and mortals.
However, Li Yi was not aware of these things at the time. He only saw that the people in Linjiang City were not greatly affected. At most, the houses were flooded but not destroyed. After the tide receded and they were properly cleaned up, everything would be fine.
So Li Yi said with emotion: "This is the first time I have seen such a magnificent Qiantang River tide. It is an eye-opener. Should I write a poem for it?"
Yi Ling said unhappily: "Save your energy, if you have the time, you should take this guy down first!"
Li Yi looked at Qiu Xiong and nodded, "That's right, let's study the poem after we deal with him."
Qiu Xiong sneered and said, "I'm afraid you two can't do anything to me."
Li Yi stretched out his hand and pulled Yi Ling behind him, waved his hand and smiled: "No, no, no, it's not the two of us, but I will deal with you by myself. I just saw such a magnificent scene, and my heart is also full of waves, so..."
Yi Ling stood beside Li Yi and interrupted, "Why are you showing off? This guy is not someone you can handle by yourself!"
Li Yi pulled Yi Ling back to his back and said, "I reflected on it. The reason why I didn't defeat this guy is because I didn't turn on the BGM. As long as I find the right BGM, no one can defeat me with my BGM!"
Yi Ling certainly didn't understand Li Yi's "crazy talk", gave him a look of contempt, and then got ready for a fight. Li Yi didn't explain much, and smiled at Qiu Xiong: "Since the atmosphere has been set to this point, it will definitely not work if you don't show off your skills." After saying that, Li Yi pushed Yi Ling back again, meaning to get out of the way, I'm going to start showing off.
