Chapter 64 Water Control
  Wang Shen is preparing to go into the water to practice water skills.

Since there is a sign from the river patrol envoy, it is natural to go down to Qinghe.

A green river is hundreds of miles long, and he has already chosen a place to practice water skills.

In one section of the river, the Qinghe River passed through two mountains. In a mountain depression, there was a relatively gentle place with clear river water. The key was that there was no one there at all.

Wang Shen took off his outer clothes and entered the water with the token.

In fact, it was still a little cold to enter the water at this time, but Wang Shen didn't feel this way. On the contrary, he felt very comfortable soaking in the water.

To practice water skills, you must start with the most basic ones, such as swimming, holding your breath, and diving. Start practicing from the diving point, and then slowly move to deep water, from still water to flowing water to turbulent water.

Wang Shen can swim, hold his breath, and dive. The next thing to do is to strengthen.

In addition to practicing water skills, Wang Shen also practiced water control in the river.

He can now control as much water as a tank, limited to the water around his body.

The method of controlling water was also mentioned in that ancient book, but Wang Shen felt that his thinking was not broad enough and his ideas were not innovative enough.

The so-called water control should not be as simple as changing the direction of the water flow and forming a vortex.

You can imagine turning the surrounding water into a part of your body, an extension of your body. It can attack, defend against enemies, and detect. It can be a weapon, a shield, or an eye.
  However, the practice methods in the ancient books can still be used for reference. The road must be walked step by step, and the food must be eaten one bite at a time, step by step.

He started from the very beginning, first by changing the water flow, making the flowing water change direction, making the flowing water stop, and making the water rotate.
  Because Wang Shen had been practicing before, it wasn't that difficult to get started.

After several days of practice, Wang Shen even liked the feeling of soaking in water.

A month passed before he knew it. After this period of practice, Wang Shen's water quality improved greatly.

He could already hold his breath and swim in the water for a long time, and he also tried to get out of the shallow water and enter the Qinghe River. Swim against the river for a few hundred meters and then come back again.

In the process, I killed two curious fish and took them back to stew for dinner.

"I feel like I can try it in the waters where the blue lotus roots are buried."

On this day, the sky was clear and the wind was warm.

Wang Shen came to the cliff, looked down at the cliff more than ten meters high, and looked up at the other side. There was no one in the mountains.

He climbed straight down from the cliff.

Not only can the splitting hand be used to split tendons and bones, it can also be used to break cracks in rocks and grab trees growing on cliffs. Soon he came to the bottom of the cliff, looked at the water, and slowly entered the water.

After entering the water, Wang Shen dived less than two meters and saw a black fish swimming over, but it did not attack him.

Wang Shen dived into the water and followed the lotus leaves above to find the lotus roots below.

Not all lotuses in this water area can grow green lotus roots. There may be only one among dozens.

Wang Shen got into the water, found the lotus root along the rhizome of the lotus leaf, and then began to search in the mud at the bottom of the river.

According to the records in the ancient book, the green lotus root grows deeper than ordinary lotus roots, and its stems are thicker, but the lotus roots are very thin.

Wang Shen searched at the bottom of the river for a while, then floated to the surface to take a breath and continued diving into the water.

After three trips back and forth, he finally found a unique lotus with a thick root that reached deep into the water.

Wang Shen swam down, and when he was getting close to the lotus root, a black shadow suddenly swam over. It was a big black figure more than one meter long. It came straight towards Wang Shen, and opened its mouth to bite the lotus root. Suddenly there was a swirl of water, and the body of the big black fish spun uncontrollably, and its head suddenly turned back.

Then Wang Shen slapped the big black fish with his palm and knocked it aside.

After all, the force exerted in the water is incomparable to that on land, but this palm failed to kill the big black fish.

It turned around and swam towards Wang Shen again.

Wang Shen Yunqi manipulated the water around him to form a small whirlpool, and the black fish swam over and was immediately affected. Wang Shen stretched out his hand, his fingers like eagle claws, and clasped the black fish's eyes, and blood instantly poured out.

The black fish was in pain, turned around and swam away.

Wang Shen went underwater and found a piece of lotus root, and vaguely saw a hint of green under the water.

"found it!"

Wang Shen did not dig out all the lotus roots at the bottom, but only went to one section, and then swam towards the river. On the way upstream, he encountered two big black fish.

He used the water-bending method to disrupt their movements, and then used his iron sand palm to fly them away.

After getting out of the water, he glanced at the green lotus root in his hand. It was exactly the same as the one he ate last time.

Wang Shen quickly climbed up the cliff and reached the forest. He shook the lotus roots dry and put them in the river. Then he took out the water bag he had prepared in advance, rinsed it with the water inside, and then started eating.

The lotus root is very crispy and has a special sweet taste.

According to the records in that ancient book, this green lotus root must be eaten as soon as possible after being picked, because it is a treasure in the river. It is soaked in the river water all day long and absorbs the essence of the river water. Once it leaves the river water, the essence contained in it will The essence will begin to drain away.

If stored for a long time, it will lose its special effect.

After a while, he finished eating one section of green lotus root. After eating, he began to practice Qigong to absorb the essence of the green lotus root.

He first practiced the Iron Sand Palm a few times and walked the Wind Chasing Step a few times, and then he began to sit quietly and start practicing Qi according to the nameless technique.

It starts from the Dantian, goes up the back, passes through the Du Channel, goes up to the top of the head, passes through Niwan and Baihui, crosses Magpie Bridge and goes down along the Ren Channel, just passing through the internal organs of the abdomen.

With each line of Qi, the Qi seems to increase a little.

This is the essence of the green lotus root that has been absorbed and turned into his own Qi.

This cycle goes on and on until the special cool feeling in the belly slowly recedes until it disappears. Wang Shen then opened his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.

"The treasure in this river is indeed extraordinary!" The increase in Qi energy gained by Bi Lotus in this section was worth the months of Qigong and Qi training he had spent practicing.

"If you eat this one every few days, your cultivation will not grow very long!"

Wang Shen also knew that if all the lotus roots were dug out at once, the lotus flowers would be gone, and the green lotus roots would not grow again in the future.

No one knows how many special lotus plants there are in the river, but they are certainly not many.

He won't kill the goose that lays the eggs.

"If I wait for the lotus seeds to mature, pick them and plant them somewhere else, is it possible that this green lotus root will grow as well?"

Wang Shen got up and wanted to take a look at the lotus again, but then he realized that his wet clothes had dried.
