Chapter 118 Big Trade Wind

The valley in Zhang Miao is a place of shade.The so-called shady place means sitting north and facing south.To the north are mountains. The towering mountains block the wind from the north and block most of the sun.This kind of place must be moist and cold, suitable for the growth of centipedes.

However, this strong trade wind blows from the south to the north. The strong wind behind the north cannot stop the wind from the south.Big trade winds blow only once every few years, or even more than ten years.When Zhang Miao chose the site, he did not consider the impact of strong trade winds at all.Now, when the trade winds come, this valley is facing the strong winds head-on!

Not only will this wind not be blocked, it will become even more violent due to the terrain of the valley.

In order to preserve his poor foundation, the only way Zhang Miao came up with was formation.However, there is no way to use the Feng Shui array, because when the strong wind arrives, everything will be blown away by you, and all the Feng Shui will be instantly disrupted. Even the originally arranged Feng Shui array will be destroyed.Unless you have that ability, consider this strong trade wind as a Feng Shui variable.

This is beyond Zhang Miao's ability!
However, if you use the calculated formation method to set up the formation, you don't need to consider Feng Shui issues, you can just calculate the orientation and set up the formation.But there is a problem, that is, the materials for setting up the formation and maintaining the operation of the formation require a large amount of spiritual stones.

Back then, Qingzhumen launched a large array to defend against the trade winds during the trade wind season, and it immediately went bankrupt.How could Zhang Miao, from a small family, have the financial resources to set up such a large array?

It is useless to use the method of spiritual practice.Zhang Miao thought carefully and rejected the idea of ​​setting up a formation.If this method doesn't work, Zhang Miao can only choose the most primitive and ancient method - to reinforce the building!

Let Da Wa chop wood and collect large rocks weighing several tons.Then use large rocks and wood to reinforce the chicken coop and cover the centipede pond to prevent the centipedes from being blown away by the wind.When the trade wind arrives, the formation used by Zhang Miao to prevent the centipede from escaping will inevitably be destroyed.Therefore, Zhang Miao added lids to several centipede ponds to prevent the centipedes from being blown away.

Fortunately, the centipede pond is dug downwards, and there is no obvious bulge after adding a cover. It is similar to a cellar, but it can better protect against wind.

The chicken coop can only be strengthened and supported with large rocks and wood.Then use a few talismans to turn into rattan to firmly strengthen the house on the ground, just like the green bamboo door was made in the past.

As for the wooden house where I live, I don't care.If it's broken, it's broken. Just go back and build a new one.This house did not bring any value to Zhang Miao. It was just a shelter from the wind and rain. It was not bought with a loan. If it breaks down, it will break down.

After finishing all this, it was already the afternoon of the second day.Thick dark clouds can already be seen on the horizon approaching here.

Zhang Miao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could survive these ten days.

Not long after, dark clouds filled the sky over the highlands, and strong winds swept into the mountains.The mountainous area is mountainous and has many ravines.Here the wind changes with the terrain and becomes more variable.

There was a rumble of thunder, and the heavy rain fell with the strong wind, crackling on the roof and walls.Zhang Miao's hut was crumbling in the wind and rain, but he only cared about his centipede pond and chicken coop.

Not long after, there was a "bang" and the roof was blown off by the strong wind.When the second sister saw this scene, she curled up her lips and burst into tears: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu My roof is gone..."

Strong winds and heavy rain came in. Zhang Miao picked up the second sister Hulu and comforted her and said, "Don't be afraid. We can build it again after the house is gone, as long as we are fine."

The little girl is still sentimental, unlike the big boy, who just stands in the wind and rain and is silly and happy.He grew bigger, and the strong wind and heavy rain couldn't do anything to him. He waved his hands like a heartless child.

As the sky grew darker, the wind and rain became more intense.The strong trade wind finally reached the highlands at this time!

As the night passed, the violent storm subsided slightly, but the large raindrops hit the ground and formed trickles of varying sizes on the ground.Taking advantage of this moment, Zhang Miao quickly went to check the centipede pond and chicken coop.

The centipede pond also has a cover because it has better drainage.Although there is some water in the pool, the situation is not serious and the centipedes are doing well.When they saw him opening the lid, they thought he was here to feed, so they all crawled over.However, seeing him just glance at it and then put down the lid and leave, the centipedes felt bored for a while, and then hid under the gravel again.

The situation in the chicken coop is not good, because there were leaks in many places due to the hasty reinforcement.The chicks have been drenched all night and are now listless. If not solved, the chicks will die of hypothermia.

Zhang Miao quickly repaired the leaks, then took out a fire core from the storage bag and placed it in the chicken coop.The core of the ground fire emits heat, and soon the water in the chicken house is evaporated, and the water vapor fills the chicken house, just like a chicken wonderland.

The temperature of the earth's fire core was still quite high, so Zhang Miao put it away after leaving it on for a while.At this time, the feathers of the chickens were almost dried, and the leaks on the roof were blocked. Zhang Miao took out the ginseng and mixed it with the rice to feed the chickens.

The chickens had enough food and clothing, and their worries about survival were solved. Each one regained its vitality and began to chirp.Then, Zhang Miao selected a few chickens that were not performing so well and used them as centipede feed...

In the next few days, Zhang Miao checked and filled in the gaps every day.But he barely managed to stabilize the situation.

That night, the wind and rain became much stronger.At night, the earth absorbs the fire energy of the day and slowly releases it at night.When the sun sets, Yang Qi falls and Yin Qi rises, the water vapor in the air will be more active than during the day.The collision between the released fire gas and the water vapor in the air will intensify the formation of convection.This is why rainfall is heavy and frequent at night.

This situation is exacerbated during these days of strong trade winds.Every night, the wind and rain will become more violent.

The chickens in the chicken coop were frightened by the strong wind and heavy rain as usual. They huddled together to keep each other warm and gave each other a little comfort.

Zhang Miao was sitting cross-legged in a drafty house, practicing silently.Although he does not have all the five elements, it does not affect the practice of the "Five Elements Receiving Heaven Kung Fu". This technique can also be practiced by the four spiritual roots, and it is blessed with four times the efficiency of the four spiritual roots.

The spiritual energy in the Daoji was continuously drawn out, turned into mana and entered Zhang Miao's body.Judging from Zhang Miao's inner vision, the magic power produced is light blue, and its feeling is much thicker and more viscous.If mana was like water before, mana now is like heavy oil.

The foundation building period is divided into the early, middle and late stages, and then a foundation building Dzogchen is added.There is no such thing as a half-step golden elixir. If you have a golden elixir, you have it. If you don’t have it, you don’t have it. What’s the point of half a step?

In fact, all realms can be divided into three stages: front, middle and back.Only the Qi training realm has a large number of people and everyone likes to add drama to themselves, so they insist on dividing it into levels one to nine.This division into the ninth level is obvious to those with weak spiritual roots and inferior spiritual roots.Because every level they practice is very difficult.

But for Zhang Miao, he didn't feel any bottlenecks or stucks at all from level one to level three.I only felt it slightly from the third to fourth level, and from the sixth to seventh level.Because these two breakthroughs require a lot of mana, and there is a big difference after promotion.Other times, he couldn't feel much difference.

This is the difference between the cultivation of superior spiritual root monks and other spiritual root monks.

However, after reaching the foundation building stage, the difference brought by spiritual roots will be very small, so at this time, only the distinction between the front, middle and back realms is more obvious, so it is only divided into three stages.And the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment is mostly self-deprecating by the monks. In fact, in terms of strength, there is no difference at all between the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment and the later stage of Foundation Establishment.

In the early stage of foundation building, 'Great Monk' Zhang Miao was practicing. He recited scriptures and his body was constantly shaking.Once you reach this state, your body will have evolved, it will be better adapted to the runes, and your practice time will be greatly increased. Basically, you can practice for several months without needing to rest for a few days.

At the foundation building stage, monks only have the option of 'retreat'.Because only at this level can the body support the load of long-term practice.

After entering the state of cultivation, spiritual energy is converted into mana, and mana will provide all the needs of the body, so it is normal not to eat or drink.At the foundation building stage, monks can live without food, but because most monks are used to eating and drinking, they will still prepare food to satisfy their appetites.At this time, monks eat and drink not for survival, but simply for enjoyment.

Of course, some food, wine, and tea rich in spiritual energy will also bring benefits to the monks, so this should not stop the monks from eating and drinking.

After practicing to a certain level, monks will have less need for ordinary material things.Eating and drinking is not necessary, so monks will not run around just to eat and drink.It is not necessary to wear clothes to sleep, and monks do not work hard for clothing and housing.After all these basic needs become dispensable, they must be separated from society.

Ordinary people run around all day just to have three meals to eat and a roof over their heads.No matter how hard you work, it is just for the sake of your parents and future generations.The monks no longer consider these things. They focus on their own improvement and pursue longevity.The difference between immortals and mortals was born.

There is a saying in the spiritual world that "if you don't get the golden elixir, you will end up like an ant".This shows the importance of golden elixir to monks.When you reach the golden elixir realm, your lifespan can be at least eight hundred. In fact, for a golden elixir monk who takes good care of himself and practices well, his lifespan is not a problem until one thousand.

In a thousand years, a vast ocean can be transformed into a mulberry field.For monks, even if they live forever, this life is not in vain.

However, reaching the golden elixir state cannot be achieved by sitting down and practicing hard. The process must be full of hardships and hardships.

No, Zhang Miao's ordeal is coming too.

A roaring sound came from the valley, immediately alarming Zhang Miao, who was practicing.
