Chapter 217 Arrival
"Grandpa, grandpa, come and see. Someone fell from the sky and smashed our shack." In a daze, Zhou Wutian heard the noisy sound of a child. Zhou Wutian wanted to open his eyes and look around, but his eyelids were very heavy and could not open them at all. He had no strength at all and could not move.
At this time, Zhou Wutian slowly remembered that when he was using Ping Wu's teleportation array to shuttle into the void, he encountered a space storm outside. Because the power of the space storm destroyed the world, when he was far away from the space storm, Zhou Wutian showed the impact of the space storm on the surrounding space. Although he had not encountered a space storm before, the feeling in the dark made Zhou Wutian use these changes to tear the space barrier without hesitation with the power of the large teleportation array and immediately return to the space.
For Zhou Wutian, although this is the second Void trip, he has done a lot of homework, not only the understanding in the books, but also part of it is taught by Yun Lan. Zhou Wutian himself is a relatively conservative and steady person. He knows that there is generally no risk in Void trip, but once there is a risk, it will be doomed. So before encountering a space storm, whether it is or is not, Zhou Wutian's choice will immediately leave the void and return to the space. After all, if it is really a space storm, then it will be thousands of miles away in the previous moment, and the next moment will appear directly in front of him. At that time, it will be powerless to turn the world away.
However, even though Zhou Wutian would rather give up 10,000 opportunities, he would never take a risk and avoid this space storm in advance. However, he obviously underestimated the power of the space storm. Just a moment later, it caused a trace of space storm torn the space barrier with the power of the teleportation array and then penetrated into the space, and directly hit Zhou Wutian.
This space storm was just the size of a head, but in an instant it destroyed the thick consciousness power wrapped around Zhou Wutian's body and the vital energy layer tightly attached to his body. He ignored Zhou Wutian's defense formed by the five thunder golden body and directly penetrated into Zhou Wutian's body, constantly tearing Zhou Wutian's meridians, and Zhou Wutian fell into a coma due to the severe pain caused by the torn meridians.
"Puff--" After Zhou Wutian figured out these things, he tried to mobilize the vital energy in the dantian and run into the meridians. However, when it was running, the meridians in their bodies were broken inch by inch, and the remaining power of the space storm was still filled with. The vital energy contained in the meridians had no way to run along the meridians, so it directly escaped from the body at the point where the meridians were broken, causing Zhou Wutian, who was already seriously injured, to worsen his injuries and vomit blood. This made Zhou Wutian, who was originally on the verge of coma, touched the injury and fell into a coma again.
I was so confused that I didn't know how long it took. Zhou Wutian suddenly opened his eyes and sat up immediately. He saw that he was lying on a shabby bed with some worn cloth wrapped around his body, barely bandaging the wound. However, it did not actually have any effect, because there was no medicine on it, and the bandaging technique was a little rough. Its only function was to make the wound look not so scary.
Zhou Wutian moved his body slightly, then walked down the window and stretched his muscles and bones. With the sound of the joints coming, Zhou Wutian felt most of his body relaxed. Although Zhou Wutian's injuries are still very serious now, he can go down the ground to move. Although it is a bit stiff when moving, it is much better than staying in bed.
Then, Zhou Wutian checked the situation of the vitality and consciousness power, and the situation was quite unoptimistic as Zhou Wutian expected. The consciousness power has been exhausted because it resisted the power of space storm. Zhou Wutian's situation is not optimistic now, which has also led to the recovery of consciousness power being particularly slow, so slow that it can be ignored.
However, Zhou Wutian is not anxious about the power of consciousness, because Zhou Wutian can clearly feel that although there is not much of the power of consciousness, there is no loss in the soul realm, and the soul realm is the basis of the power of consciousness. Therefore, as long as the soul realm is not damaged, the power of consciousness can be slowly recovered.
The situation in terms of vital energy is also very poor. Although the Dantian has many high-level forces, it has not been eroded by the power of the space storm, so the output and storage of vital energy are still operating normally. However, the damage to the meridians is quite serious, almost broken inch, and there is no complete meridian. After all, when encountering a space storm, the meridians are constantly circulating vital energy to resist the space storm, so they are eroded in reverse by the power of the space storm along the output path of vital energy, which leads to damage to the meridians.
Therefore, although the dantian is intact, the vital energy cannot travel among the meridians because of the broken meridians. If the vital energy is forcibly guided, the vital energy will escape from the broken meridians, causing a very severe burden on the body. Therefore, it is said that Zhou Wutian's vital energy is not optimistic.
Meridians are extremely important for practitioners, and they are the fundamental reason for circulating vital energy and releasing spells. Once the meridians are damaged, even if the attribute achievement is high, they cannot release powerful spells, which is useless.
In the impression of most practitioners, damage to meridians is a very difficult problem, because the resources required to repair meridians are all treasures in the world. It is really difficult to repair meridians. This is just damage to meridians, and once the meridians are broken, it means that you cannot continue to practice. In the path of cultivation, it is a useless person. Unless there is any spiritual medicine that goes against the will of heaven and change fate, it will be no longer necessary to practice.
However, damage to the meridians or even the meridians are broken does not mean the end of the path of cultivation. It is just a relatively troublesome hurdle. If repaired properly, it will not cause too many problems to future cultivation.
The reason why practitioners think that meridian repair is extremely difficult is mainly because of lack of cognition. They have too little understanding of Hongxing and too low soul realm. Once they have comprehended to a certain level, they will understand that not to mention that the meridians are broken, even if people born without meridians can artificially create meridians as long as they use appropriate means.
However, this information generally exists in more secret perceptions, and most practitioners cannot reach that point, so they naturally cannot understand the incident.
Even if you have some guesses about some things based on your imagination, if you have no ability or have never seen these guesses, then as long as you have a little uncertainty about these guesses, then guesses will be guesses after all, and they will always exist in your imagination.
Although there are not many conclusions about the various things in Hongxing, what we can know at present is that Zhou Wutian is not one of the most cultivators. With Zhou Wutian's soul realm and knowledge, we naturally understand that the role of meridians for practitioners. Although meridians are extremely important, they are absolutely indispensable. Even if the meridians are broken, Zhou Wutian now has enough resources to repair the meridians as before. Moreover, with Zhou Wutian's soul realm and understanding of Hongxing, he also knows how to do it to repair damaged meridians as quickly as possible, even if the meridians are broken.
So in general, the problems on the meridians are not what Zhou Wutian is worried about, because all the vital energy is understood in the perception of the soul realm. For these known things, because they understand all of them, they do not cause too much worry.
Now, what Zhou Wutian is worried about is the soul realm and consciousness power. Although Zhou Wutian can feel that the soul realm is intact and the consciousness power is slowly recovering, the things about the soul are too mysterious and there are too many unknown things, and unknown things always make people very worried.
Although Zhou Wutian did not face the space storm directly, because his strength was too low, even if he was only affected by a slight impact from the space storm, it would have serious consequences. In particular, the space storm directly tear the barrier formed by Zhou Wutian's consciousness power, which caused a serious impact on Zhou Wutian.
The soul realm is too mysterious, and even Zhou Wutian cannot peek at much, but Zhou Wutian can vaguely feel that the soul realm is something independent of the vitality or even space, and even the void. The existence of the soul realm is above all things in Hongxing. However, because he does not know the true usage, he can only be limited to Hongxing's rules and exerts some relatively low-level effects.
Although Zhou Wutian has quite a lot of guesses about the soul realm, some of these guesses may be correct and indeed exist, but because these are just guesses, before confirming these guesses, all of them are just guesses.
At present, the soul realm is intact. Although the conscious power is exhausted, it is still recovering. The current situation seems to be good, but it cannot completely relieve Zhou Wutian. After all, there are too many unknowns about the soul realm. Moreover, because of the existence of karma, Zhou Wutian cannot rest assured. After all, Zhou Wutian cannot mobilize the karma fire and consciousness power of the ten thousand souls. Once the karma is rioting, Zhou Wutian has no means to suppress him at all, and can only rely on his will to resist it.
After checking the vitality and consciousness power, Zhou Wutian examined his own physical condition again. His physical condition was in a very optimistic situation. Although Zhou Wutian's injuries were still not healed, they were constantly healing, and all of this was due to the spell of the Five Thunder Golden Body.
The Five Thunder Golden Body spell is not like other spells. The effect completely disappears after one operation. Instead, every time the Five Thunder Golden Body is activated, the cultivator's body will be weak but permanently enhanced. According to the effect of the Five Thunder Golden Body, the resilience of the meridians, the body's resistance, self-healing ability, strength and degree will be enhanced respectively. Even if the Five Thunder Golden Body is activated or the vitality is activated, these attributes will not disappear. These attributes are the enhancement of the body, just like the exercised one.
It is precisely because of these enhanced attributes that although Zhou Wutian is seriously injured, his body has the healing ability of ordinary people and is constantly repairing his injuries. At the same time, Zhou Wutian still has greater strength than ordinary people, faster, higher resistance, and stronger meridians. However, the meridians are broken now, and this item is useless now.
Although the injury has not yet been healed, with the effect brought by the Five Thunder Golden Body, Zhou Wutian can fight against the practitioners of Yaoguang at the first and second levels without falling behind. At the same time, because Zhou Wutian has also studied Cun Wuying, he has mastered many powerful and practical moves. Even if these moves are not blessed by vitality, they are still quite powerful. With these moves and the blessing of the Five Thunder Golden Body, the practitioners of the Three and Fourth levels of Yaoguang cannot touch Zhou Wutian at all.
"Gululu--" A sound of stomach screaming came, and Zhou Wutian felt hungry just now. When Zhou Wutian was able to activate his vitality, he could directly feed on the vitality and replenish his own strength. In addition to satisfying his cravings, he rarely contacted food. After all, these foods can provide too little energy. Now, because the vitality cannot run and the injuries on his body continue to heal, Zhou Wutian needs a lot of food to replenish his physical strength and provide the substances needed for healing.
"Child, be hungry, come and have something to eat." An old man outside the door heard the voice of an old man outside. Zhou Wutian turned his head and looked at him. He saw an old man in rags walking slowly from outside with a bowl of hot rice.
"Uncle, did you save me?" Zhou Wutian asked, holding back his hunger.
"Eat first, and then talk about it after dinner." The old man said, and brought the bowl in his hand to Zhou Wutian.
"Okay." Zhou Wutian took the bowl and found that this bowl was not a bowl at all. He just dug a hole on a piece of wood to store food. Not only that, the bowl also looked very worn and seemed to have been used for a long time.
However, unlike this wooden bowl, the food contained in the wooden bowl is large pieces of meat, which makes Zhou Wutian not very understanding. After all, this family does not look rich and uses rough wooden bowls, but they eat meat. I don’t know if it was specially made to recover from his own injuries or for some other reasons. However, Zhou Wutian can’t care about so much now. After confirming that there was no problem with the food, Zhou Wutian grabbed the meat in the wooden bowl and started gnawing hard.
Slowly, a bowl of meat was eaten by Zhou Wutian in less than a cup of tea. However, although it was a bowl of meat, it was not enough for Zhou Wutian, who was seriously injured and waiting to be healed. Zhou Wutian still needed more food.
"Child, isn't it enough?" Seeing Zhou Wutian finishing the food all at once, the old man naturally realized that Zhou Wutian was not full yet.
"It's enough, it's enough." Zhou Wutian said quickly, but his stomach seemed to not agree with this opinion and kept screaming.
"Child, wait, I'll go to the neighbor's house next door to ask if there is any remaining food there." The old man said, picked up the bowl and walked out.
When Zhou Wutian heard the old man say this, he naturally couldn't erase his pride, but although he couldn't erase his face, his stomach had no intention of guilt.
Not long after the old man left, a seven or eight-year-old child walked in with something carefully. Like the old man, the child's clothes were also torn, and the face and hands were painted black.
"Brother, I'll give you this to eat, so you have to get better soon." The child held the things in his hand to Zhou Wutian and said. Although he was holding them to Zhou Wutian, he could still see the reluctance in the eyes of this child.
Zhou Wutian looked at it and saw that the child was holding a bird egg in his hand. The surface of the bird egg was very smooth. Looking at it, he probably was stroking it by the child for a long time, but he couldn't bear to eat it.
"This thing is very precious to you, why give it to me?" Zhou Wutian did not reach out to pick it up, but asked like this.
"Because, I hope you can stay in our house so that my grandfather won't have to work hard all day long," the child replied.
"Hmm?" Zhou Wutian was a little surprised when he heard the child say this. After all, the old man seemed to be very old and was not a cultivator, so he couldn't do much work at all. So Zhou Wutian asked, "Where are the rest of your family? Where are your parents?"
When he heard Zhou Wutian’s question, the child who had already had some expectations suddenly became sad, and then whispered, “There are only my grandfather and my father and mother at home, and they are gone.”
"Sorry." Zhou Wutian said comfortingly, not expecting that the situation in this family would be like this, and at the same time, he also understood why the old man still had to work all day long at such an old age.
"So, can you stay after your injury is healed? Help my grandfather?" the child suddenly said loudly, "This bird egg is for you to eat."
"Xiaohua, you can't be rude to your guests." The old man who came back from a neighbor's house to borrow food, heard the child say this as soon as he entered the door and quickly scolded him.
"Uncle, it's okay." Zhou Wutian said, "You saved me, I should do something to repay you."
"No, no, no, boy, don't say that." The old man said, "we didn't do anything at all, we just moved you into the house."
"If you didn't pick me up, maybe I was eaten by a wild wolf outside." Zhou Wutian shook his head and said.
"Hurry and eat while it's hot." The old man said, handing Zhou Wutian the bowl in his hand. "Their family doesn't have a lot of food. When the hunters come back in the evening, I will ask the leader if he can share a portion of food for you."
"No, these are enough. When my injury heals, I will do some work and earn some food back." Zhou Wutian said. Although Zhou Wutian still has some injuries and cannot use his vitality, the current situation is far better than that of ordinary people. Doing some work with these strength is enough to support himself.
"Okay, since that's the case, I won't force it anymore. Our family's life is not easy and I can't help you too much." The old man said.
"Brother, stay here to help our family. I will definitely repay you when I grow up." The child next to him said, and then he held the bird egg forward.
"Xiaohua, you-" the old man was about to say something, but he was stopped by Zhou Wutian.
"Okay." Zhou Wutian said, reaching out and picking up the bird egg in the child's hand and saying, "I will recover well and strive to recover one day earlier to help your grandpa."
"Then you have to keep your word!" the child said half-believingly.
"Of course, I have already received your reward, why can't you keep your word?" As he said that, Xiaohua jumped out of the house happily.
"Hey, kids don't take it seriously." The old man said, "I can see that you are not an ordinary person. Just wait for your injury to heal, just do your business. Don't delay your business."
"Old man, don't worry, my affairs can't be delayed." Zhou Wutian said, "I can help some of my stay."
"Then, I'll thank you first." The old man said, then breathed a sigh of relief. "Young man, I'll tell you, I made such a plan when I saved you at the beginning. I hope I can help us when you get healed." The old man continued, "I can't live this old bone for a few years, and I'll die if I die. But my granddaughter is still young, so I can't just leave her alone."
"Sun, granddaughter?" When Zhou Wutian was eating, he couldn't help but choke. He only saw the child's body was dirty and cut short. He thought it was a boy, but he didn't expect it to be a girl.
"No," Seeing Zhou Wutian's reaction, the old man sighed again and said, "This child has never had any parents since he was a child. I have been raised by myself. I am a bad old man, so I can't raise children. It's all thanks to the help of people in the tribe, so I barely pulled the child up."
"Oh, old man, thank you really for your hard work." Zhou Wutian said. Although he had never raised a child, he could guess how hard the old man worked. "When my injury heals, I will let you live a good life."
"No." The old man said and waved his hand, "It doesn't matter if I'm old, the only thing I care about is this child. When your injury heals, I hope you can take Xiaohua away from here."
"Take her away? Why is this?" After hearing the old man say this, Zhou Wutian naturally understood that there must be something unusual about it, otherwise the old man would never say such words.
