"Crazy man, tell me, brother, how come the flying lantern can fly? It obviously has no wings, so why can it fly so high?"
"That's the Kongming Lantern! Old Chen, please go aside and I'll ask..."
Zhang Yan found that he had underestimated people's desire to learn about unknown things. Even after the gag order was issued, many people in his tent still came over and seemed to be "covering it up" but in fact they were "blatantly" wanting to know more. The "insider story" about Kongming Lanterns. What they are curious about is why the Kongming Lantern can fly into the sky even though it has no wings. This is subversive to their understanding.
If Lin Zedong hadn't made one himself before, some people would have suspected that Zhang Yan had used some kind of trick while making it while everyone was not paying attention.
Faced with these various temptations, what can Zhang Yan say? He had nothing to say. Because if he said that the reason why the Kongming Lantern can fly is due to the "buoyancy of hot air", would he then have to explain what "air" is and "buoyancy", as well as the origin of these theories? Is it over yet?
Besides, Zhang Yan only has a diploma from Pheasant University. If you ask him to explain the origin of those scientific theories, it would be too difficult for him. He doesn't have that ability.
So "I don't know" became Zhang Yan's only magic weapon to deal with the people around him.
Anyway, I am a "madman", so don't expect a madman to talk to you nicely. Zhang Yan thought this in his heart, and for the first time, he felt that it was not bad to have a "madman" on his head.
When asked around, he just said "I don't know", and the people around him were bored. Even though a few people were obviously angry and felt that Zhang Yan was not giving him face, they did not directly get angry with Zhang Yan.
What a lunatic, why did you provoke him? Do you really treat him as a normal person? No offense!
Zhang Yan felt relieved and sat cross-legged on the bunk, minding his own business, and started today's homework. The people on the side looked at it and thought, forget it, this madman started again and dispersed.
Although the scenes of flying lanterns flying into the sky were still shocking in my heart, no one was hanging around Zhang Yan anymore.
No one is interested in the way Zhang Yan meditates, with his weird posture. Who else would torment himself like this if he is not a mentally ill person? No one would notice that Zhang Yan's breathing rhythm was even more strange, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and the length of his breath was always changing.
"Plundering the Sky" is not difficult for Zhang Yan. After all, he had already learned it when he was on earth. His master forced him to learn it. Later, the master passed away and the earth had no spiritual energy to absorb it. "Plundering the Sky" "Heaven" was like a decoration, and Zhang Yan stopped.
Now, the difficulty in picking up "Looting the Sky" again is not the breathing technique itself, but Zhang Yan's hope to replace his previous normal breathing method with the breathing technique. In other words, Zhang Yan's plan is to get used to the breathing rhythm of "Liu Tian" and be able to breathe in the spiritual energy around him all the time in the future.
After more than half a month of deliberate effort, Zhang Yan can now barely replace his normal breathing method with breathing. But it couldn't be maintained while fighting or sleeping.
In the final analysis, it is still not familiar enough. When is it no longer necessary to deliberately maintain the breathing rhythm but can still maintain the breathing technique unchanged? When is the time when "Liu Tian" is thoroughly practiced, the greatest practical effect of "Liu Tian" can be achieved.
Zhang Yan now has four spirit-gathering talismans on his body, and the time for the breathing technique has also increased a lot. The effect of his breathing spiritual energy has naturally increased several times compared to the beginning.
What remains unchanged is that none of the spiritual energy that was absorbed into the body remains in Zhang Yan's dantian. It was cut off by the Wanxiang Pearl on his chest just like before.
There are also changes, that is, the colorful streamers on the Wanxiang Pearl are now more agile, and at the same time exude a wonderful aura that makes Zhang Yan feel "blood connected".
This reminded Zhang Yan of a classic he once read. There were many words in it that he had originally read as legends, and one of them was about "immortal weapons."
It is said that the fairy weapon has its own spirituality, and needs to be constantly warmed by the user before it can exert its power like an arm and fingers. There is also a saying of "awakening".
This is also something Zhang Yan has been thinking about recently. He speculated that the Wanxiang Pearl had become rotten due to the depletion of spiritual energy on the earth and no longer had the power to drive it. In order to protect itself from being dragged down by the spiritual energy-depleted environment, it closed itself off and was eventually regarded as a dragon and tiger. The mountain is in the scrolls where the tears of the legendary era are sealed and the sect's rules and ancestral teachings are preserved.
Later, Zhang Yan got the Wanxiang Pearl by chance, and the light flowing on it showed that it had not decayed like other so-called magic weapons in Longhu Mountain.
Zhang Yan remembered that when he was trapped in the dangerous danger of death in the underground palace of Tianzhu Kingdom, Wan Xiangzhu moved first. He first took a breath of the poisonous mist that turned into human bones and spewed out the murderous intent of the underground palace, and then took him through time to the wilderness. .
Is there a possibility that the poisonous mist actually contains a lot of spiritual energy, and Wan Xiangzhu relied on the spiritual energy in the poisonous mist to fight, and traveled through time to be where Zhang Yan is today? Now the aura that Wanxiangzhu cut Hu Zhang Yan has incorporated into his body is actually a kind of active "nurturing", and the aura that makes Zhang Yan feel "blood connected" is the effect of "nurturing". Then all he needs to do is wait for the Wanxiang Pearl to be slowly awakened by the spiritual energy?
However, although the speed of absorbing spiritual energy into the body is several times faster than at the beginning, Zhang Yan understands that this is actually not enough. At least there is still a lot of room for improvement in the gain he can achieve.
The next day, Zhang Yan and his group did not leave the fortress, but practiced in the camp. From that day on, Lao Yu began to teach them how to set up various traps.
In his free time, Zhang Yan ran to Qili's quartermaster and asked for a lot of yellow paper, a thick stack, and some cinnabar.
Previously, I used thin pieces of wood to draw four spirit-gathering talismans and one exorcism talisman, which were all effective, and Zhang Yan has been wearing them. However, the effect of the talismans drawn by ordinary wood chips is greatly reduced. Now that it is convenient to rely on the Kongming Lantern, it is natural to further optimize the talismans.
Just when others thought that Madman Zhang was going crazy again, Zhang Yan crushed all the previous wooden talismans and threw them away, replacing them with regular yellow paper talismans that were much more effective. And he affixed twenty spirit-gathering talismans to himself in one go!
The previous wood chips were thin but hard and difficult to place too close to the body. The yellow paper is different. Sticking it on your hands, feet, chest and back will not affect your activities at all, and it will not fall off easily.
In this way, the efficiency of directly incorporating Zhang Yan into the spiritual energy was once again increased by nearly ten times!
However, doing so also made it appear that Zhang Yan's behavior was different from ordinary people. Who would stick pieces of yellow paper with incomprehensible paintings on their clothes? What's more, Zhang Yan also explained that it was "safety paper".
Pooh! A lunatic indeed.
