Telling jokes? Meng Yanyi is terrible at telling jokes. She's participated in so many variety shows, and none of her jokes have ever made a single person laugh.
Yes, not a single one.
Later, Meng Yanyi realized that her face was not suitable for telling jokes, and she could not play the role of a funny woman.
"Ugh!" Meng Yanyi punched Ling Yi lightly. "It's just that the way you talk is so pretentious, it's kind of funny."
"We call this 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do'."
At this moment, Yin Susu asked, "Young Master Ling, do you know anything about shipbuilding?"
Ling Yi nodded. "Don't worry, leave the shipbuilding work to me, there won't be any problems."
"I am naturally relieved by your words, Young Master Ling. I only have one concern."
Ling Yi and the other two all looked at her.
"The wind direction is just right now; we can easily follow it southwest all the way back to the Central Plains. It's a perfect storm."
Meng Yanyi, "Isn't this a good thing?"
"What Miss Susu means is that we don't know how long this wind direction will last. Once this monsoon season is over, the wind direction will likely shift, turning from a tailwind to a headwind."
Ling Yi understood Yin Susu's meaning and explained it to Meng Yanyi.
"Young Master Ling is indeed wise. We don't know the wind season. If we set sail rashly, and the wind direction changes halfway, not only will we be unable to make any progress, but we will also encounter great danger."
"During the change in wind direction, Baofeng are bound to occur at sea."
After a pause, Yin Susu continued, "So, we now have two choices: either build a ship and set sail as soon as possible, and if the winds are favorable, we can return to the Central Plains in about a month."
"Alternatively, we can wait for the windy season to end, find out how long it lasts, and then leave the island to go out to sea when the windy season returns next year."
After hearing Yin Susu's words, everyone couldn't help but frown.
In reality, none of them wanted to stay on Ice and Fire Island. Although the island was rich in resources, no one wanted to live like savages.
Ling Yi smiled slightly and said, "Then let's build a large ship. As long as the ship is big enough, it can naturally withstand any Baofeng."
Once you activate the shipbuilding skill and level it up, building a large ship will be no problem at all.
As for the power system, Ling Yi had already come up with ideas.
Although the show Ling Yi and his friends participated in is called Film and Television World Survival, the focus is not on Qiusheng, but on the film and television world.
Seeing Yin Susu somewhat doubtful look in Yin Susu's eyes, Meng Yanyi snorted and said, "Don't worry, if my senior brother says he can do it, then he definitely can."
"Miss Meng, please don't misunderstand. Susu didn't doubt Young Master Ling's meaning; she just found it somewhat unbelievable. Moreover, I believe Brother Ling isn't one to speak carelessly, so if he says something like that, he must have absolute certainty."
Upon hearing Zhang Cuishan's words, Meng Yanyi nodded in satisfaction. "Then we must be confident."
Ling Yi, however, understood Zhang Cuishan's ulterior motive. He was clearly implying that Ling Yi had to keep his promises, otherwise he would be considered a person who made empty promises.
Zhang Cuishan may seem honest and simple, but he's not stupid at all.
Besides, a fool can't become a master.
Do you really think practicing martial arts doesn't require brains? Just take the knowledge about the eight extraordinary meridians, acupoints, and Dantian as an example; it would take an ordinary person half a lifetime to learn that.
Ling Yi was quite happy that Meng Yanyi defended him so much.
I didn't give her the Team-Up Card for nothing.
"Let's go back to the shelter first, have a good meal, and then rest for the night. As for building the ship, we'll talk about it tomorrow," Ling Yi said, waving his hand.
The four of them moved quickly and returned to the shelter before the sun had set.
Seeing the shelter, which resembled a fortress, Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu were both astonished, especially by the tall wooden wall surrounding it—it was simply too extravagant.
However, after searching for a long time, they still couldn't find the entrance or exit.
It wasn't until Meng Yanyi arrived and single-handedly pulled up a "wall" that they realized the main entrance was actually there.
But this scene left the two speechless with astonishment. Were these two senior brothers monsters?
One Knockback Xie Xun, the Golden-Haired Lion King, in a single move; the other lifted a massive log gate weighing hundreds of kilograms with one hand.
They never imagined that Meng Yanyi, this seemingly delicate girl, would possess such strength.
Could it be that these two martial arts practitioners both practice external Kung Fu Hustle?
But it doesn't quite seem like it.
Suddenly, they all became curious about Ling Yi's martial arts techniques.
If they knew that Meng Yanyi and Ling Yi were just ordinary people a few days ago, they would probably be even more surprised.
"Finally back." As soon as Meng Yanyi returned to the shelter, she felt like she was coming home, and her whole body and mind relaxed.
That evening, the group had a barbecue.
Meng Yanyi's cooking skills were highly praised by Yin Susu and Zhang Cuishan.
The couple, who had been starving for several days, were finally able to have a full meal, and they had a strange feeling of being reborn.
"Many thanks to Brother Ling for saving us. Otherwise, even if we hadn't died at Xie Xun's hands, we would probably have starved to death and become food for Beast," Zhang Cuishan said, bowing to Ling Yi again.
"No need for such politeness, Fifth Hero Zhang." Ling Yi didn't seem to care about Zhang Cuishan's thanks.
He and Meng Yanyi just passersby in this world; they didn't know when they would leave it.
Zhang Cuishan and his companions' gratitude was worthless.
He now desires even more the methods for cultivating Internal Energy in this world.
However, this cannot be said outright; hopefully, they can take the initiative.
"Young Master Ling, we should be careful with Xie Xun. He is extremely cruel and vindictive. He will certainly not accept the loss we suffered today."
"I'm afraid they'll come looking for us sooner or later," Yin Susu warned.
"Is Xie Xun really that bad?" Meng Yanyi asked.
"Do you know how many people died at Xie Xun's hands?" Zhang Cuishan held up two fingers. "At least two hundred."
"It included the elderly, the weak, women, and children; it was extremely brutal."
At this point, Zhang Cuishan's face was filled with murderous intent as he said, "If it weren't for Susu's quick wit, she would probably have suffered a terrible fate as well. It's just a pity that Xie Xun relied on the advantage of the Dragon-Slaying Saber; we were no match for him."
Meng Yanyi scratched her head and blurted out, "That's strange. Xie Xun is such a bad guy, so how did you end up becoming sworn brothers with Xie Xun?"
"Me, sworn brotherhood with that demon? Absolutely not." Zhang Cuishan shook his head.
"Since ancient times, good and evil have been irreconcilable. If I have the chance, I will surely tear Xie Xun, that traitor, to pieces," Zhang Cuishan said in a deep voice.
Is there really that much resentment?
Ling Yi rolled her eyes at Meng Yanyi. "Do you really think before you speak? How can you say something like that?"
Then I looked at Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu. It seems there's more to this than meets the eye!
At this Yin Susu, Yin Susu's face was noticeably pale and unsightly.
When Zhang Cuishan looked at her, her gaze even seemed to dart away, which made Zhang Cuishan's face even uglier.
Big news!
However, Meng Yanyi's question was not wrong.
In the original novel, Zhang Cuishan did indeed become sworn brothers with Xie Xun, and their relationship seemed to be very good. He even preferred death to revealing Xie Xun's whereabouts on Ice and Fire Island.
On Zhang Sanfeng's 100th birthday, to prove his innocence, he even severed his own meridians and died.
Yin Susu also grief-stricken and desperate because of Zhang Cuishan's death, and she took her own life by his side, leaving behind only the ten-year-old Zhang Cuishan Zhang Wuji.
Zhang Sanfeng was thus devastated, as he, an elderly man, had to bury his son, and his 100th birthday became the anniversary of his beloved disciple's death.
Looking back now, the deaths of Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu were truly somewhat inexcusable.
Zhang Cuishan was intelligent, and being in Mount Wudang with his the Final Master protecting him, he had no need to fear anyone.
The idea that loyalty to the emperor and filial piety cannot coexist is utter nonsense.
Faced with absolute power, what can other Jianghu sects do even if they are dissatisfied? Can they defeat Zhang Sanfeng?
joke.
Moreover, their son was right beside them; even for their son's sake, they shouldn't have sought death.
It is said that mothers are strong and fathers are great.
unless...
Although thinking like this is a bit dark, it's not impossible!
If Zhang Wuji really is Xie Xun's son, then everything makes sense.
Meng Yanyi's words immediately created an awkward atmosphere.
Meng Yanyi belatedly realized what was happening and opened her mouth to explain.
Ling Yi quickly tugged at her sleeve. Oh, I can't let her say any more.
Otherwise, who knows what else they might say.
The two quickly changed the subject, saying, "If Xie Xun dares to come, I will certainly not hold back."
Before Zhang Cuishan and the others could say anything, another continued, " Fifth Hero Zhang, I've heard that to learn internal energy cultivation, one must have some understanding of acupoints, meridians, Dantian."
"We know absolutely nothing about these things. Could you please tell us something?"
Zhang Cuishan took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the surging Qi and Blood within him.
"Brother Ling, do you really know nothing about acupoints and meridians?" Zhang Cuishan asked.
"Yes, I've never had any contact with that before."
Zhang Cuishan looked at Ling Yi suspiciously. In his opinion, Ling Yi and Meng Yanyi should be practicing external Kung Fu Hustle.
In Zhang Cuishan's view, even external Kung Fu Hustle require an understanding of meridians, Dantian, and acupoints.
External Kung Fu Hustle, in fact, also require the support of Internal Energy.
For example, Shaolin's Golden Bell Shield and Iron Shirt Cover Kung Fu Hustle require the assistance of Internal Energy; otherwise, they are merely superficial.
"The martial arts my junior sister and I practice are unconventional and quite different from those of the Central Plains Kung Fu Hustle. This is why my senior brothers and I are heading to the Central Plains."
"Our strength has now reached a bottleneck. We hope to find a breakthrough through the Internal Energy cultivation techniques of the Central Plains Jianghu martial arts world. Learning has no end, and martial arts have no end."
"What a wonderful saying, 'Learning has no limits, and martial arts have no limits'!" Zhang Cuishan exclaimed.
"Since Brother Ling is curious, I will naturally answer to the best of my knowledge."
In fact, Zhang Cuishan now dares not casually teach Ling Yi advanced inner cultivation techniques.
They knew nothing about the brother and sister; if they plotted against the martial Jianghu of the Central Plains, it would be a disaster for the entire Central Plains arts community.
Ling Yi and his group are already incredibly powerful; if they become even stronger, how terrifying would they be?
However, there's no need to hide basic knowledge about meridians, acupoints, and the Dantian.
Otherwise, even if he didn't say anything, Ling Yi and the others would probably find out easily once they entered the Central Plains.
On the contrary, it would only make Ling Yi and the others dislike him.
In the following time, Zhang Cuishan explained the relevant knowledge about meridians, Dantian, acupoints and so on without reservation.
As Zhang Cuishan explained, Ling Yi realized more and more that learning Internal Energy cultivation techniques was by no means a simple matter.
However, this basic knowledge is comparable to postgraduate entrance exam materials.
At the same time, one has to admire Zhang Cuishan's memory. Ling Yi even wondered how Zhang Cuishan managed to memorize such a massive amount of knowledge.
Fortunately, Ling Yi doesn't need to memorize directly.
Because the system has already taken care of it automatically for him.
