Chapter 22: A Trip to the Sea
After Wang Ming switched to practicing Xiantian Gong, he immediately set out for Peach Blossom Island. This was the easiest time to get to the island.
Huang Yaoshi left the island to look for Huang Rong. There were only a group of deaf-mute people on the island, so it was quite safe.
Under the temptation of a large sum of money, a boatman brought Wang Ming to the vicinity of Taohua Island, but refused to dock, saying that anyone who docked would never be able to come back.
In desperation, Wang Ming gave the agreed reward to the boatman, used the "Across the River with a Reed" light skill, and headed for the island, mainly because it consumed too much internal energy.
When he arrived on the island, the internal energy of his lower dantian from the Xiantian Gong was exhausted, so he found a secluded place and began to recover his internal energy.
After meditating for a while, his internal energy was almost recovered, and he headed along the route to Peach Blossom Island.
............................................................
Looking at the large formation of peach trees in front of him, Wang Ming had no interest in testing it. He flew into the air, using the force from the top of each tree to fly all the way to the center.
Huang Yaoshi's formation is not very useful. Those with high martial arts skills can fly over directly from above. If you are not afraid of offending Huang Yaoshi, you can just burn it.
Wang Ming explored the island and found that Zhou Botong was still alone in the cave and Guo Jing had not arrived yet.
It would be too stupid to wait for Guo Jing outside the cave, so Wang Ming sneaked into Huang Yaoshi's study and read some books every day to pass the time.
It may be that Huang Yaoshi had suffered a loss at the hands of Chen Xuanfeng, so he did not let Wang Ming find the secret book on the island. All the books in the study were not secret books, but some miscellaneous knowledge.
These days, Wang Ming has been madly using his enhanced memory to learn this knowledge, which is actually more valuable than martial arts. Wang Ming knows a lot about martial arts, but it is rare to find such knowledge in a place.
What Wang Ming cares most about is the medicine and machinery here. This is what Wang Ming lacks the most. The only pity is that there is no formula for Huang Yaoshi’s unique secret medicine, Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pills, which is a holy medicine for healing.
After reading these books, Wang Ming began to doubt Huang Yaoshi's origins. Huang Yaoshi was well versed in astronomy, geography, the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams, the Art of War, calligraphy and painting, and even farmland irrigation, economics and military strategies. He was proficient in everything.
These are very similar to the Xiaoyao Sect in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, which are simply a low-profile version of Wuyazi when he was young.
"Stop having these random thoughts and read your book! It will be troublesome if Huang Yaoshi comes back."
At this time, Wang Ming was no match for the East Evil Huang Yaoshi, and it would be embarrassing if he was caught red-handed.
............................................................
Wang Ming memorized the medical skills and mechanical engineering books in a hurry, glanced at the other books briefly, and dared not read any more. He erased all traces of himself and came to the place where the ships were moored on Peach Blossom Island. He practiced while waiting.
A few days later, Huang Yaoshi returned with the reluctant Huang Rong.
This made Wang Ming feel fortunate that he was not too greedy. If he had not restrained his greed and continued to read in Huang Lao Xie's study, he would have been caught red-handed.
A few days later, the silly boy Guo Jing came to the island again. He accidentally ran into Zhou Botong's cave and interfered with Huang Lao Xie's plan to threaten Zhou Botong.
Seeing the protagonist coming, Wang Ming ventured to the cave entrance, holding his breath, and quietly eavesdropped on Zhou Botong, the old master who taught martial arts, giving Guo Jing, the protagonist, a cheat.
After a few days of listening to the wall corner, Wang Ming finally got the complete copy of the Nine Yin Manual, which is what the martial artists dream of today. The biggest surprise is the Double-Handed Fighting Technique. After trying it a little, Wang Ming can use it. This Zhou Botong is really a martial arts genius. He can actually run two different martial arts at the same time without conflicting with each other.
"The Fist of Emptiness" is also good, but it doesn't quite match my personality.
Having gotten what he wanted, Wang Ming was unwilling to stay any longer for fear of any unexpected events.
..................................................................
Wang Ming came to the beach of Taohua Island and looked at the vast ocean. His mind went blank and he felt a row of crows flying over his head, laughing at himself for being a fool.
He had no plan for how to go back. No ships passed through here. He had to build a raft or steal a boat. He didn't know the waterway.
Just as Wang Ming was thinking frantically, a shout came from his ears.
Turning around, it turned out to be Hong Qigong.
"Wang Xiaozi, you actually arrived at Peach Blossom Island before me. With the two of us working together this time, Jing'er's marriage is secure."
Hong Qigong walked closer and patted Wang Ming on the shoulder.
After a moment of confusion, Wang Ming realized that he had met Hong Qigong, who had just arrived at Peach Blossom Island to help Guo Jing propose marriage. He also misunderstood that he had just arrived as well.
It's just right. I can go with him to help Guo Jing propose marriage, and then let Huang Lao Xie send someone to send me away with a legitimate reason. After I figured it out, I immediately replied.
"Yes! I am here for Jing'er's marriage as well. After all, I have been his teacher for so many years."
"We are both Jing'er's masters. It's too strange for us to call each other sir or gang leader. From now on, I will call you Brother Wang and you can call me Brother Hong."
"Then Brother Hong, I won't be polite."
"People in Jianghu are not so particular. It's just a title. Don't worry about it. Let's go and do our business." Hong Qigong led the way, and Wang Ming followed behind towards the center. It seemed that Huang Rong had given Hong Qigong a map in advance, otherwise he would not have been able to get out of the Peach Blossom Maze smoothly.
As soon as I came out of the Peach Blossom Maze, I heard the sounds of piano and flute from afar. It seemed that Huang Lao Xie and Xi Du were fighting.
Hong Qigong beside him took out a sheng from somewhere, put it to his lips and played it with his inner strength. Suddenly, three sounds intertwined and fought together.
"Even if I come here, people can't say I'm here for tourism," Wang Ming said self-deprecatingly.
Looking back at the surroundings, he picked a leaf that he liked from a tree, put it to his mouth and blew it.
He secretly used the technique of "Seven-String Invisible Sword" and performed it using leaves instead of a zither.
The scene became even more chaotic. The four voices entangled together, which was quite unpleasant to the ear. It was simply noise pollution.
After a while, Hong Qigong arrived outside the bamboo forest. Looking around, he saw that the person playing the flute should be Huang Yaoshi, and the person playing the iron zither should be Ouyang Feng.
The young man in white, wearing a white satin robe embroidered with gold thread and holding a folding fan, must be Ouyang Ke.
If you are not the protagonist, why wear a white robe? You will die quickly if you pretend to be cool, Wang Ming secretly complained.
There were also Guo Jing and Huang Rong standing by.
The battle of voices was getting fiercer when suddenly the leaves in his hands broke, unable to withstand the crazy output of his internal force.
Seeing that the leaves in his hands were all broken, he decided to stand aside and watch the show, but there were no leaves for him to pick here.
At this moment, an object suddenly flew towards Wang Ming. He caught it and found it was an iron bell. This was what Huang Rong had snatched from Ouyang Feng's maid.
When Huang Rong saw the leaves in Wang Ming's hand break, she immediately found a musical instrument nearby and threw it over. She used a lot of force, and ordinary people could be killed by it. She didn't think much when she saw Wang Ming coming, thinking that he was sent by Hong Qigong, and he was here to help, so he was so enthusiastic to smash it... Don't send Tie Zheng.
Seeing the situation, Wang Ming didn't hesitate. He found a place to put the iron zither and started to perform the full version of "Seven-String Invisible Sword".
Suddenly, everyone on the field felt uncomfortable, and their internal energy became uncontrollable. As Wang Ming's piano music began to stir, the opponent's moves became slower when the piano music sounded slow, and the opponent's moves became faster when the piano music sounded fast. Wang Ming did not use the moves created by Huang Zhonggong to attack, but simply quickly transformed between fast and slow tones.
The internal energy of several people on the field was boiling, like a happy Husky destroying the house, making their blood and energy surge and making them feel very uncomfortable.
Huang Yaoshi's "Song of the Rising Tide in the Blue Sea" is a sonic skill that can cause hallucinations, seduces evil spirits and makes people lose their minds.
Ouyang Feng's iron zither is a kind of zither that makes the sound consistent with the human heartbeat. The faster he plays, the faster other people's hearts beat, making people feel as if their hearts will jump out of their chests.
Wang Ming's "Seven-String Invisible Sword" interferes with a person's internal energy, causing it to run wild in the body. In serious cases, the person may go crazy and die when the internal energy breaks through the dantian.
Hong Qigong actually doesn't have sonic power, but he has high internal strength and he just forces the sound to become disgusting.
In fact, although the use of sonic power is so mysterious, Huang Yaoshi and the other three were fine, their blood and qi were just surging a little.
The sonic skill is an awkward martial art. It is used to bully weak enemies and attack groups, and the damage is outstanding. It can be used to fight against opponents of the same level or above, and the damage is minimal.
Of course you have a Heavenly Demon Harp like the Six-Fingered Demon’s, just ignore what I said.
Wang Ming had said before that the "Seven-String Invisible Sword" was the best match for Ren Woxing. That madman used the "Star Absorbing Technique" to become the best internal martial artist in the world. If we only compare the amount of internal strength, it might take Dongfang Bubai, Feng Qingyang, and Zuo Lengchan combined to compare to him.
Ren Woxing's performance was so poor, he just lacked a high-powered offensive method, like Duan Yu's "Six Meridians Divine Sword".
Just thinking about Ren Woxing makes me want to laugh. When fighting with others, he either uses a two-finger-wide soft sword to compare sword moves with others, or he competes with others in internal strength by palm-to-palm. If that doesn't work, he just absorbs energy.
In the world of Smiling Proud Wanderer, martial arts have declined and internal energy is difficult to leave the body. Basically, internal energy is attached to weapons or hands.
With his strong inner strength and the "Seven-String Invisible Sword", Ren Woxing can easily slaughter all the martial arts masters in the world of Laughing Proudly.
Don't think it's an exaggeration, the "Sunflower Manual" doesn't actually improve internal strength much, it's a special technique that makes people faster.
But Huang Rong and the other two couldn't bear it, even after plugging their ears with cloth.
"Stop playing, Rong'er is about to get hurt," Guo Jing shouted.
Wang Ming looked over and saw that Huang Rong's face was flushed. It seemed that she was in great pain. Guo Jing's internal strength after drinking the precious snake's blood was not weak. With the method taught by Zhou Botong, he could still hold on. Looking at Ouyang Ke on the side, he had already vomited blood.
The four of them immediately stopped fighting. It was not easy to meet an equally matched opponent. They were having so much fun that they forgot there were younger ones present and hurried to check on the situation of their younger generations.
When Ouyang Feng saw Ouyang Ke's injuries, he felt angry, but Ouyang Ke's condition could not be delayed, and this was not a suitable place to lose his temper, so he endured it and quickly sorted out the turbulent true energy in his nephew's body.
Ouyang Ke's injuries were serious. If it was just a little later, Ouyang Ke would have gone crazy, his true energy would have broken through his dantian, his meridians would have ruptured, and he would have been disabled if not dead.
Among the three, Ouyang Ke was the most miserable. The main reason was that the martial arts he practiced were not the Taoist internal skills like Guo Jing's, which were moderate and peaceful. In addition, he was just shot with several needles by Huang Rong's sneak attack, and his ribs were broken by Guo Jing, whose martial arts had greatly improved. That's why he was in such a miserable state.
