On the Importance of "Foreign Languages" (3/5)
Since the construction of the Mountain God Reservoir.
The waterways within a radius of a hundred miles have essentially been unified.
Calling it a major river or a great stream might be an exaggeration, but this waterway running from north to south can certainly no longer be considered a stream.
As a result, the number of fish in the river has increased day by day, and the number of wild beasts and spirits passing by has also increased significantly.
Around this river, which Li Boyang forcibly gathered and established, a completely new ecosystem is gradually taking shape. However, before more fish discover this new river, the Human-Faced Fish has already become a semi-owner here.
Even outside of the breeding season, the Human-Faced Fish can still be seen leaping out of the water from time to time, appearing in various branches and streams of this river.
This is a special type of fish that has extremely demanding requirements for water quality and environment.
They have clearly made this river their new habitat and breeding ground.
Perhaps it's because of the unique nature of the Human-Faced Fish, or perhaps it's the norm in this world, ever since Chi gave the order a month ago.
The Human-Faced Fish, which lingered in this river, carefully observed the villages along the way and then reported any unusual things it noticed.
From this perspective alone, these Human-Faced Fish cannot be regarded as ordinary animals. Apart from not having developed civilization, these Human-Faced Fish possess intelligence no less than that of Mountain Folk, and they also have a special way of communicating with each other.
In fact, Li Boyang noticed when he first discovered the Human-Faced Fish that they were a one-to-one replica of human facial features.
Although it's unclear why the Human-Faced Fish chose such a strange evolutionary path.
However, given the precedent of Chi, Li Boyang can be fairly certain.
Unless they live in water year-round, Human-Faced Fish are able to speak like humans.
Out of his own curiosity, Li Boyang also tried to learn the communication methods of the Human-Faced Fish from Chi during the time he discovered it.
It's impossible to say that Li Boyang had a complete understanding of the communication methods of the Human-Faced Fish.
But he can still manage to have some basic communication.
(In the language of the Human-Faced Fish) So, you really did find a strange village?
Squatting at the edge of the waterfall pool, Li Boyang gently patted the water's surface while communicating with the Human-Faced Fish in the pool.
This is a communication method that combines water ripples and sound, and naturally possesses encryption properties.
At the very least, Li Jingshu, who had been lost in thought under the waterfall, was stunned, her eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.
(In the language of the Human-Faced Fish) Yes, the villagers in that village have had very little contact with the outside world for the past two weeks.
"(In the language of the Human-Faced Fish) Not only that, the villagers rarely communicate with each other; in fact, I've never seen them have any conversations."
(In the language of the Human-Faced Fish) The Queen told us that such unusual situations must be reported immediately---
The Human-Faced Fish gently patted the water's surface, making a slightly silly and cute sound.
(Human-Faced Fish speaking) Um--did I help you, Great Arbiter of Fate?
Reaching out to soothe the agitated Human-Faced Fish, Li Boyang looked at the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron facing upwards and replied with a smile.
(In the voice of Human-Faced Fish) Thank you, you've really been a great help this time.
With a satisfied squint, the Human-Faced Fish continued to ask in that timid, hesitant voice.
(In the language of the Human-Faced Fish) Can I come here often in the future?
(Human-Faced Fish speaking) I really like this waterfall and pool, and I also really like the fish and insects here.
(Human-Faced Fish speaking) Of course, I like you even more. It would be wonderful to see you more often!
Li Boyang was completely stunned for a moment before he gently patted the Human-Faced Fish's head, never expecting that his first confession would come from a human- Human-Faced Fish.
(Human-Faced Fish Language) I'm so glad you like it.
(Human-Faced Fish speaking) You are welcome to come here anytime, whether you have business to attend to or not.
(Human-Faced Fish speaking) I will preserve the water vein that you came to Flying Peak this time; don't worry about it disappearing.
After receiving Li Boyang's affirmative reply, the Human-Faced Fish immediately beamed with joy and plunged into the pool, splashing around happily.
"..."
Having witnessed the entire interaction between the Human-Faced Fish and Li Boyang, Li Jingshu's envy became even more pronounced.
She also wanted to talk to those fish that could read people's faces.
I also want to know what Li Boyang has been secretly busy with lately.
Unfortunately, Li Jingshu has already received a serious warning from Li Boyang for being too lazy recently.
If she doesn't find the feeling of entering a meditative state soon, Li Boyang won't teach her anything new.
To be honest, Li Jingshu didn't really care about anything new or not, but she did care about Li Boyang's attention and focus.
The thought that Li Boyang might ignore her for a while made Li Jingshu feel extremely distressed.
[It'll be here soon! It'll be here soon!]
I'm confident I'll be able to enter a meditative state today!
As she pondered this, Li Jingshu closed her eyes again.
Using the pain from the waterfall's impact on her body to suppress her inner distractions, a faint Body-Protecting Gang Qi automatically appeared on Li Jingshu's body.
The waterfall's water, crashing against her Body-Protecting Gang Qi, was instantly cleaved as if it were a solid object, without a single drop falling on Li Jingshu.
"?"
Xiu Ran looked up at Li Jingshu below the waterfall, and Li Boyang's face showed undisguised surprise and joy.
"Has that girl finally come to her senses?"
Li Boyang had long since become indifferent to the fact that Li Jingshu had not been able to enter a meditative state for several years.
Because the essence of entering a meditative state is to suppress distracting thoughts, and girls like Li Jingshu are at the age when their minds are most restless and filled with distracting thoughts.
Thinking back to those teenagers in his previous life, Li Boyang felt that it was already quite good that the other party could obediently listen to him. After all, not being able to enter a meditative state did not affect Li Jingshu's growth.
Whether it's her increasingly abnormal physical abilities or her perfectly overflowing Body-Protecting Gang Qi, it all shows that Li Jingshu has been working hard.
Li Boyang had even prepared himself for the possibility that if the girl truly lacked the talent to cultivate the "Perception Method," he would simply let her pursue the path of body tempering to the very end.
"Once she successfully entered a meditative state, it can be said that she has virtually no weaknesses."
Appearing silently beside Li Boyang, Xiluo stared at the Body-Protecting Gang Qi that was gradually forming a sphere with a complicated expression.
That was a manifestation of the full and natural flow of Life Primordial Qi within Li Jingshu's body.
It is no exaggeration to say that, in terms of the abundance of Life Primordial Qi alone,
Li Jingshu is now almost the same as Xiluo was a few years ago, and also as Li Boyang was before he cultivated the Black and Yellow Qi.
No, from this moment on, she officially embarked on the path of cultivation.
He refuted Xiluo's statement, and Li Boyang composed himself and said...
"I'm going out for a bit, could you keep an eye on this girl for me?"
"What if this girl overestimates herself and does something outrageous—"
"Remember to wake her up directly to prevent her from Qi Deviation due to an imbalance of her essence, qi, and spirit."
