Chapter 236 The Tower Near the Water

Not to mention that Zhang Xiaohua was so happy in the hut that it was difficult to calm down and draw Qi into her body.

Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei in the east room were also unable to sleep. They only heard Guo Sufei say: "The father of the child, I heard from Xiaohua that it will take several years for the child Qianqian is pregnant to be born. What do you think this should be like?"

"How many years?" Zhang Cai asked in surprise: "Why does it take so long? Most people are pregnant in ten months, why did it change when we arrived at our house?"

Guo Sufei said calmly: "I heard it from Xiaohua herself."

Zhang Cai said disapprovingly: "Don't listen to his nonsense. How can his kid know this?"

Guo Sufei said angrily: "If Xiaohua didn't know, how could he know that Qianqian was pregnant? Besides, didn't you see that he gave Qianqian something to put in the silk sac? If he really didn't know, why did he bother it? ?Xiaohua has never been a liar, there must be a reason for what he said."

Zhang Cai thought about it and said: "It makes sense when you think about it. Xiaolong and Qianqian have been married for almost two years. They should have had a child long ago. And according to Xiaolong, Qianqian should have been pregnant half a year ago. If someone else had been pregnant by now, Even though she has a big belly, our Qianqian still doesn’t show her pregnancy at all, even the doctors at the hospital can’t tell. According to the child’s growth rate, Xiaohua said that a few years is still fast.”

Guo Sufei hesitated and said: "But, isn't this too scary? Who takes several years to give birth to a child?"

Zhang Cai also remained silent, and after a long while he said: "Didn't I hear it before? Many gods are pregnant for decades, some even hundreds, or even thousands of years. We are only a few years old." , that’s normal too.”

"Pfft." Guo Sufei laughed out loud and said, "Those are all made up by others, do you believe it?"

"Believe it or not, it's not a question. The key is that there is no smoke without fire. Since there is such a saying, there must be a reason for it, otherwise no one would think of such a legend."

"That's true, but even so, how long has our Qianqian been pregnant with the child? If others find out, I don't know what they will say. Maybe they will think it is..."

Guo Sufei couldn't say the last word.

Zhang Cai sighed and said: "Yes, it is unusual and can be compared to a monster. If the villagers know about it, they will definitely think so. By the way, you didn't tell others when you went out today."

Guo Sufei thought for a moment and said, "I'm busy at home today and haven't even had time to go out yet. How can I tell others about it?"

"That's best. Talk to them early tomorrow morning, especially Mr. Liu. Don't reveal this matter to others yet. Let's wait until Qianqian finally gives birth to the baby."

"Okay, the father of the child, I have the same idea. Xiaolong and Qianqian went out today, and I don't know if they will tell others."

"Haha, definitely not. If Xiaolong went out alone, he might not say anything, but Qianqian followed. This kid has always been thin-skinned. If Xiaolong was given the courage, he wouldn't dare to say anything."

"Well, that's good. Go to bed quickly. I have something to do tomorrow. I've been worried about my children these past few days, and my work in the fields has been delayed."

"If you delay, just delay. The children have brought so much money back to you, which is enough for us to live for a lifetime."

"Child, you are wrong. Money is just an external thing. No matter how much it is, it is a dead thing. How can it be compared to fields. They are living things and can be relied on for the rest of your life."

"I know, old man, go to sleep now, we have to go to the fields tomorrow."

Zhang Xiaolong and Liu Qian in the West House also had trouble falling asleep. Not to mention the three thousand taels of silver that Zhang Xiaohua gave to her mother, nor the dozens of taels of silver that her mother gave to herself, but they were already pregnant, and the pregnancy might be very long. Long enough to keep them talking.

It was late at night, midnight had arrived, and Zhang Xiaohua, who was practicing martial arts, immediately fell into a deep sleep. Endless starlight was projected around him, lingering in the entire cabin. If it had been before,

Zhang Xiaohua will inevitably open the pores of his body to draw Qi into his body, but now that Zhang Xiaohua has advanced to the second level of the "Worry-free Heart Sutra", his technique has also changed. The spiritual platform above his head is wide open, swallowing it like a whale. Infinite starlight is introduced into the body. In just a moment, more starlight is absorbed than in the previous cup of tea. If Zhang Xiaohua is awake at this time, he will definitely be able to clearly feel the starlight inhaled into the meridians. It is no longer as subtle and insensible as before. , and part of the starlight flowed into the meridians, was tempered and integrated into the meridians, part was absorbed by the bones as white as jade in the body, and more, flowed into a mysterious place in the mind.

At the other end of the cabin, Zhang Xiaohu was also sitting cross-legged, breathing in and out according to the internal skills and mental methods of "Piaomiao Sheng Gong". Although martial arts and immortal ways are completely different, they both temper and use the meridians of the whole body. The meridians are Generally speaking, Zhang Xiaohu is currently at the first level of "Piaomiao Magic Skill", and he still thinks about the flow of warm current from his forehead. Normally, thinking like this is just a sense of internal energy, and it cannot really bring in the warm current. But today is different. Zhang Xiaohua is practicing in the hut, attracting endless star power. This endless star power has long filled the entire hut. Although he absorbs it like a whale, he can't use it all for himself. Zhang Xiaohu's whole body is also enveloped a lot. of star power.

While Zhang Xiaohu was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a cool air seeping from his forehead and flowing into his meridians. He was shocked and thought he was possessed. He opened his eyes and moved his hands and feet, but nothing happened. Thinking it was his own environment, he thought about it again, but as soon as he entered meditation, the clear stream still penetrated people. Zhang Xiaohu did not dare to exercise any more, so he got up and got off the kang.

At this time, the cabin was full of starlight, but the starlight was the most mysterious and tiny. Even if the room was full of stars, they were not as brilliant as those seen in the night sky. They were just an extra layer of faint white light that the eyes could not identify. After coming out, Zhang Xiaohu got up and walked around the room for a while. He didn't feel anything was wrong. He only saw Zhang Xiaohua sitting cross-legged and sleeping peacefully. He smiled and wanted to put his brother under the quilt, but he couldn't. He stopped halfway with his hand. Looking at Zhang Xiaohua's posture, it looked like he was practicing internal energy. There was no guarantee that there was no true energy flowing in his body. If he disturbed her at will, it would inevitably affect his younger brother's practice.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohu returned to the kang, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then lay down on the kang, preparing to sleep. Today's practice was different from usual, and he did not dare to practice again. If he went astray, he would It's not good.

But when he lay down, tossing and turning, he couldn't fall asleep. There was always a thought in his heart. He closed his eyes and imagined that there was energy coming from the sky. Of course, he only thought about it because he had no energy. But today, with such an opportunity, it actually happened. When Qi oozes from the forehead, is this a blessing or a curse?

Zhang Xiaohu felt vaguely from the bottom of his heart that this was definitely a great opportunity, and it definitely had both advantages and disadvantages.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiaohu sat up from the kang with a "huh" sound. This blessing is not a disaster, and disaster cannot be avoided. If it is really a big opportunity, his hesitation will really miss it. Immediately, Zhang Xiaohu immediately After thinking about it, I sat cross-legged and breathed it out with the mental method of "Piaomiao Divine Art". I still thought about it. Sure enough, the cool air kept seeping from my forehead, flowing into my meridians, and some of it also flowed into my mind. mysterious place.

Zhang Xiaohu is not like Zhang Xiaohua in that he has not systematically studied internal skills. He not only practiced internal skills in the Lotus Escort Agency, but also received careful teaching from Wen Wenhai in the Piao Miao Sect. He has experience in the cultivation, tempering and transportation of true energy. , the strands of starlight seeped into his forehead, and he tried to control these starlights to blend into his own true energy. Unfortunately, the starlight was beyond his control. After flowing into his meridians, it flowed forward along the meridians, and the flow continued. The less, it is only because of the continuous penetration of the starlight on the forehead that it ensures that the cool current can keep flowing in the meridians and does not disappear. When the cool current circulates for a week, when it reaches the starting point, only a trace of water is left. A little bit of silk is mixed with the cool current that comes in later, and then flows.

Zhang Xiaohu was a little anxious. He thought that because of his inability to control his internal energy, the cool current could not merge into his Dantian and become his true energy. In fact, the starlight had already integrated into the meridians all over his body, tempering and merging the meridians. It could be said that His meridians are currently undergoing earth-shaking changes. This change will give him a higher starting point and capital that others can't match in the future practice of internal energy. If it is as Zhang Xiaohu thinks, just tempering it into internal energy, That would be a matter of giving up the basics and chasing the last. At this time, Zhang Xiaohu didn't know this, he just kept stimulating his mind, trying to keep these stars and prevent them from disappearing.

I don’t know how long it took, and I don’t know how many times Zhang Xiaohu’s mental power was activated. The starlight in his meridians was still just a faint wisp, and it was just able to flow through the whole body. At this time, Zhang Xiaohu suddenly felt his forehead. There was no more cold current seeping in, and correspondingly, the cold current in the body only flowed for a week before completely disappearing.

Before Zhang Xiaohu could explore the meridians around his body and the changes in the true energy in his body, he heard the sound of Zhang Xiaohua getting up from the kang next to him. Zhang Xiaohu opened his eyes and saw Zhang Xiaohua tiptoeing from the kang. Get up, stretch, carefully open the door, and walk out.

Zhang Xiaohu's heart moved. Could it be that the coolness on his forehead was related to his younger brother? What if the cool flow disappears as soon as the younger brother gets up?

Pressing down on the urge to stand up, Zhang Xiaohu still silently used his mental skills to check his practice last night. In his Dantian, the pitiful amount of Qi did not increase at all. When he checked his meridians, there was no change at all. Zhang Xiaohu couldn't help but feel a little bit. Disappointed, it seems that all my hard work last night was in vain!

With a wry smile, Zhang Xiaohu also got up and got down, opened the door and went out.
