Master Yang Imparts a Method
The rock face was slippery. With a pair of iron fists, the entire passage was smashed open. The stone surface under Liang Qu's feet shattered, and he fell into the water along with Liang Qu.
The sound of water filled my ears, as if the whole world was raining.
Liang Qu smoothed his hair back and floated upwards, reaching out to touch the cold, slippery rocks, but couldn't find the water.
It was absolutely dark all around.
If it were an ordinary person, or even a low-level Martial Artist, they would be completely stunned and unable to get out, drowning in the water.
It was only because Liang Qu was able to breathe and sense underwater that he dared to explore with peace of mind.
The terrain here is very low, and the water flows completely into the rock wall. Even the well overflows with water. The well, which is more than 20 meters deep, overflows to a depth of three or four meters above the ground. If there is a summer downpour, it may become a fountain and gush to the ground.
"Then we can dig a fish pond."
Liang Qu pondered that he could expand the entire well into a Little Water and grow plants in it.
The Zhao Residence family's cold pond was built in the same way, where they cultivated the Horned Water Caltrop Treasure Plant. Unfortunately, when everyone searched for it later, the Treasure Plant had already been taken away, presumably by Zhao Hongyuan.
Liang Qu descended into the underground river and sensed many small fish, as well as Big Fish that were more than half a meter long.
Ordinary groundwater is in a low-oxygen state for a long time, and the oxygen content in underground rivers is very limited. Therefore, the ecological environment in most groundwater or underground rivers is relatively bad, and it is difficult to see fish and other organisms.
The Yin River with its source is different.
Its water source is a surface river, which has sufficient oxygen and a large amount of substances, providing a suitable environment for the survival of organisms. Its ecology is excellent and very rich.
My hunch was right; this underground river should lead directly to the Jiang Huai River.
Liang Qu returned to the wellhead, determined the direction of the Jiang Huai River, and then proceeded along the underground river.
This underground river branched out into countless tributaries. As he swam out, he saw no fewer than four or five forks, resembling spider nests.
During this time, Liang Qu discovered many fish species he had never seen before, as well as those that emitted a faint glow and gathered together, like a swarm of fireflies in the river.
After swimming for about a mile, the road on both sides narrowed, constricting to only half its original width, with light faintly shining through at the very front.
The Liang Qu controls the water flow, and in an instant, the water travels a hundred meters, and the sensory circle suddenly becomes empty!
Looking back, there was a long, narrow, flat water inlet behind me.
He swam upstream, standing on the water's surface.
The river was calm, and the crescent moon's glow was reflected in its waters.
The Jiang Huai River! He actually dug a channel through his own backyard!
In his excitement, Liang Qu went to the Lotus Root Waters, summoned the three beasts, and asked them to follow him to the underground river to find their way.
The three beasts entered the cave, their Fist gripping the Cannot Move tail, while the Fat Catfish curiously surveyed its surroundings.
It was pitch black, and there were glowing fish—I'd never seen anything like it before.
A two-foot-long brook swam past it, Fat Catfish tilted its head to look over, accidentally bumping into a rock.
"Don't wander off!"
Liang Qu patted A Fei on the head.
The underground waterways are complex and confusing; even with his directional senses, he wouldn't dare say he could easily find the Fat Catfish that took a wrong turn.
They might be separated by just a wall, yet they still can't see each other.
The Fat Catfish obediently followed beside him.
Liang Qu swam underwater until he found the deep well he had dug in his own courtyard. However, the opening was too small. It was fine for the Fat Catfish and the Cannot Move fish, but Fist couldn't squeeze in.
The three beasts and Liang Qu began to further expand and renovate the deep well, digging out the entrance, and soon the well was expanded to a diameter of two meters.
With a touch of obsessive-compulsive disorder, Liang Qu used the Azure Wolf to smooth out the uneven rock face and cave entrance, making it look much more pleasing.
The three beasts dug more than 25 meters along the well, and the Liang Qu was pushed outwards in all directions along the well.
In this way, a three-meter-deep pond can be built in the courtyard. Then, a bricklayer can be hired to lay a layer of blue bricks to cover the soil layer. In the Xia Tian, duckweed can be planted, which is equivalent to a simple landscaping.
The Fist crawled out of the cave entrance, arriving in such deep inland land for the first time, moving around on its eight legs, running in and out.
It was surrounded by tall walls, a sight it had never seen before in its entire life.
Even Cannot Move, they crawled out and basked in the moonlight, enjoying the novel feeling.
The Fat Catfish poked its big head out and thought that the place where the gods lived was much more exquisite than Toad Big Brother's, and the decorative brackets were incredibly mysterious.
Is this the divine realm?
This is the difference between humans and animals.
Here, Liang Qu could live in a comfortable courtyard, but if he were to retreat to the marshland, all that awaited him would be mud caves and rock caves, without even a soft blanket.
The root of people's hard work is the desire to not work hard, to be comfortable.
The same applies to martial arts training. If one is free from illness and disaster, has a long lifespan, and no one dares to provoke them, then one gains the privilege of not having to work hard for a longer period and enjoying more comfortable time.
The Fist climbed up the tree pit, used pliers to pinch off a jujube branch, waved it at Liang Qu, and asked what it was.
"It's a tree! A jujube tree! In two more years it will bear fruit, and we'll be able to eat jujubes."
For Fist first time, the concept of a "tree" came to mind.
So this is what a tree is, something that doesn't exist in water.
Cannot Move, it crawled to a huge pillar and clung to it with its claws.
"That's also a tree, but it's made from dead trees, so it's called timber."
Cannot Move, it rested its paws on its chin, looking thoughtful.
The Fat Catfish thought of Toad Big Brother's boat and the small boat floating on the river. It turned out that the boat was also transformed from a tree.
Standing in the courtyard, Liang Qu felt that perhaps it really was necessary to teach the three beasts a lesson to broaden their knowledge.
Humans cannot imagine things they have never seen before, and animals are even less able to do so. As Water Beast, the three beasts have an even narrower understanding of things.
Fortunately, the Jiang Huai River can now flow directly into the courtyard.
With just a greeting, the three beasts can come directly from the Jiang Huai River to my home, where I can feed them and collect treasures—everything is so much more convenient.
It was late at night, and there was no one around.
The entire second courtyard is now surrounded by walls and has not yet connected to the third courtyard, so no one will look over there. Liang Qu let the three beasts play in the courtyard for a while before letting them go back.
Actually, being seen isn't a big deal.
Seeing the finless River Dolphin raised in the River Conservancy Office today gave Liang Qu quite a shock.
He realized that the beasts he raised were nothing special, even the Heavenly Water Centipede. There were sorcerers in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains of Miao Prefecture who could control poisonous insects, and he was sometimes too cautious.
It is said that the River Conservancy Office has other domesticated Water Beast, but so far, the River Dolphin is the best among all domesticated Water Beast.
River Dolphin are intelligent and live in groups, with a social structure similar to that of wolf packs. A group of River Dolphin can consist of thirty to forty River Dolphin.
As Spirit Monster, they are even more intelligent. They only need to tame the leader, and the entire group is under their control. They can reproduce stably and produce in large quantities, making them very cost-effective.
The River Conservancy Office brought four groups of River Dolphin this time, each led by a top-tier Great Monster Spirit. It wouldn't be too difficult for them to fight off some Demon Beast.
The only drawback is that the River Dolphin finless porpoise reproduces very slowly, almost like a horse, taking about a year to reproduce, and even longer for Spirit Monster, with usually only one calf per litter.
It just so happens that after Liang Qu Bone Barrier Breakthrough, his mental strength also improved, leaving some room for improvement.
You could find some time to rule a River Dolphin, use the Marsh Essence to evolve it into the River Porpoise King, and then slightly undermine its rivals.
After making his plans, Liang Qu returned to the main house to sleep.
The next morning, before Liang Qu went to report to the River Conservancy Office, he was stopped by Li LiBo, who had rushed over.
Senior Brother Hu from the Martial Arts School asked him to go to the Yang Residence today, saying that Yang Dongxiong had something to teach him.
Liang Qu was in high spirits. Since becoming a disciple, his senior brothers had been teaching him on his behalf, which had been fine. He had learned real knowledge, but he never expected that Yang Dongxiong would personally teach him today.
Riding his horse to the Yang Residence, Liang Qu had the groom lead Red Mountain away. After meeting Yang Dongxiong, they went together to an open space in the garden.
Yang Dongxiong got straight to the point. "Show me how you circulate the Circulating Qi Inscription."
Liang Qu sat cross-legged, his body's Qi and Blood circulating smoothly and harmoniously Wishful the Circulating Qi Inscription.
Yang Dongxiong placed a palm on Liang Qu's back, sensing the circulation of Blood Qi within his body, and nodded slightly. "Not bad, it seems you haven't been slacking off."
Liang Qu Fist Dao, "It's all thanks to the excellent guidance of my senior brothers."
"I drank too late yesterday and forgot. I called you here today for no other reason than to teach you a Cultivation Method called ' Myriad Victory Embracing Oneness '."
"Myriad Victory Embracing Oneness?"
Liang Qu pondered the words, feeling as if he had heard them somewhere before. Recalling the books he had read in the past, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he blurted them out.
"Blazing Martial Emperor's Myriad Victory Art?"
"Not bad." Yang Dongxiong stroked his beard. "It seems that your hard work at the academy has not been in vain. Myriad Victory Embracing Oneness is Cultivation Method created based on Blazing Martial Emperor's Myriad Victory Art."
The Great Blazing was an ancient dynasty that existed before the Da Shun and Great Qian.
Its founder, Blazing Martial Emperor, was even more famous. Before he rose to power, when he was still a mid-to-lower-level official, he had a remarkable feat of chasing and killing thousands of people.
His self-created "Myriad Victory Art" has been lost, but Great Blazing Martial Emperor simplified and adapted this method and spread it to the army, which became the mainstream Cultivation Method of the Great Blazing army at that time, "Hundred Battles Method". This method has not been lost.
Thousands of years have passed, and its influence can still be seen in the main cultivation Cultivation Method of the Da Shun army today.
"Myriad Victory Embracing Oneness" sounds like a re-adaptation of "Myriad Victory Art".
