Chapter 238
Not to mention that Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed in the small room, it was difficult for her to calm down and absorb Qi into her body.
In the east room, Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei were also unable to sleep. Guo Sufei said, "Father of the child, I heard from Xiaohua that the child in Qianqian's belly will take several years to be born. What do you think about this?"
"Several years?" Zhang Cai said in surprise, "How can it be so long?
Other people are pregnant for ten months. Why does it change when it comes to our family? "
Guo Sufei said tensely, "I heard it from Xiaohua himself."
Zhang Cai said disapprovingly, "Don't listen to his nonsense. How can a child like him know these things?"
Guo Sufei said angrily, "If Xiaohua doesn't know, how can he know that Qianqian is pregnant?
Moreover, didn't you see that he put something in the silk bag for Qianqian? If he really doesn't know, why is he acting so serious?
Xiaohua has never been a child who lies. There must be a reason for what he said. "
Zhang Cai thought about it and said, "It makes sense. Xiaolong and Qianqian have been married for almost two years. They should have had a child long ago. According to Xiaolong, Qianqian should have been pregnant half a year ago. If it was someone else, they would have had a big belly by now. But our Qianqian still doesn't show that she is pregnant at all. Even the doctors in the medical hall can't see it. According to the growth of the child, Xiaohua said a few years is fast."
Guo Sufei hesitated and said, "But, isn't this too scary?
Who needs a few years to have a child? "
Zhang Cai was also silent. After a long while, he said, "Didn't I hear the storytellers say that many immortals carry a child for decades? Some even carry it for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years. We've only been pregnant for a few years, so it's normal."
"Pfft." Guo Sufei laughed and said, "That's all made up by others. Do you believe it?"
"Whether I believe it or not is not a problem. The key is that there is no smoke without fire. Since there is such a saying, there must be a reason. Otherwise, no one would think of such a legend even if they cracked their brains."
"That's true. But even so, our Qianqian has been pregnant for such a long time. If others were to find out, who knows what they would say. They might even think that …"
Guo Sufei couldn't bring herself to say the last word.
Zhang Cai sighed and said, "Yes, it's unusual. If the villagers knew about it, they would definitely think so. By the way, you didn't tell anyone when you went out today, did you?"
Guo Sufei thought for a moment and said, "I was busy at home today and didn't have time to go out. How could I have the chance to tell others?"
"That's for the best. I'll tell them tomorrow morning, especially Mr. Liu. Don't tell anyone about this yet. We'll talk about it when Qianqian gives birth."
"Okay. Father of the child, I think so too. Xiaolong and Qianqian went out today. I don't know if they will tell anyone."
"Haha, they definitely won't. If Xiaolong went out alone, he might not say anything. But with Qianqian, this child has always been shy. Even if you give Xiaolong two times the courage, he won't dare to say anything."
"Well, that's good. Go to sleep. There are still things to do tomorrow. These days, I've been worried about the child. The work in the field has been delayed."
"Let it be delayed. The child has brought back so much money. It's enough for us to live for a lifetime."
"Mother of the child, you're wrong. Money is just a worldly possession. No matter how much money there is, it's still a dead object. How can it be compared to the field? It's a living thing. We can rely on it for a lifetime."
"I know. Old man, go to sleep. We still have to go to the field tomorrow."
In the west room, Zhang Xiaohua and Liu Qian also found it difficult to sleep. Not to mention the three thousand taels of silver that Zhang Xiaohua had given to their mother and the dozens of taels of silver that their mother had given to them, just the fact that they were pregnant and the pregnancy might be very long was enough to make them talk non-stop.
Zhang Xiaohua, who was cultivating, immediately fell into a deep sleep. Endless starlight shone on his body and lingered around the entire room. If it was before, Zhang Xiaohua would definitely open all the pores on his body and draw in Qi into his body. But now that Zhang Xiaohua had reached the second level of the "Carefree Heart Sutra", his cultivation method had also changed. The spiritual altar on top of his head opened wide, like a whale swallowing endless starlight into his body. In just fifteen minutes, he had absorbed more starlight than before. If Zhang Xiaohua was awake at this moment, he would definitely be able to clearly feel the starlight being absorbed into his meridians. It was no longer as indiscernible as before. Moreover, a portion of the starlight flowed into his meridians and was refined into them. A portion of the starlight was absorbed by his jade-like white bones, and even more of it flowed into a mysterious place in his mind.
On the other side of the room, Zhang Xiaohu was also sitting cross-legged. According to the internal strength cultivation method of the "Art of Ethereal Magic", he did not stop breathing. Although martial arts and the Way of Immortality were completely different, they both refined and used the meridians of the entire body. The meridians were ordinary. Zhang Xiaohu was now at the first level of the "Art of Ethereal Magic". From time to time, he would feel a warm current flowing into his forehead. Usually, he would only feel the Qi of his internal strength and would not be able to truly draw in the warm current. But today was different. Zhang Xiaohua was cultivating in the room and had drawn in an endless amount of Qi. This endless amount of Qi had already filled the entire room. Although he was absorbing it like a whale, he could not use it all for himself. Zhang Xiaohu's body was also enveloped in a large amount of Qi.
Just as Zhang Xiaohu was thinking, he suddenly felt a cool Qi seeping into his body from his forehead and flowing into his meridians. He could not help but be shocked, thinking that he had suffered from Qi deviation. He opened his eyes and moved his hands and feet, but there was not the slightest bit of difference. Thinking that it was his own environment, he began to think again. But just as he entered a meditative state, the clear Qi was still seeping into his body. Zhang Xiaohu did not dare to continue cultivating and got off the bed.
At this time, the small room was filled with starlight, but starlight was the most mysterious and also the smallest. Even if the room was filled with starlight, it was not as brilliant as the night sky. It was just a layer of faint white light that could not be seen with the naked eye. Zhang Xiaohu got up and walked around the room for a while, but did not feel anything wrong. He only saw that Zhang Xiaohua was also sitting cross-legged, peacefully sleeping. He smiled. He originally wanted to put his little brother down and cover him with a quilt, but his hand stopped halfway. Looking at Zhang Xiaohua's posture, it was the posture of someone cultivating internal energy. It was difficult to guarantee that there was no zhenqi flowing in his body. If he casually disturbed him, it would inevitably affect his little brother's cultivation.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohu returned to the kang bed. He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then lay down on the kang bed, preparing to sleep. Today's cultivation was different from usual, and he did not dare to cultivate again. If he took a wrong path, it would be bad.
But when he lay down, tossing and turning, he was unable to fall asleep. There was always a thought in his mind. He closed his eyes and thought that there was Qi coming from the sky. Of course, it was because there was no Qi that he thought about it. But today, there was such an opportunity. There was actually Qi coming from his forehead. Was this a blessing or a curse?
Zhang Xiaohu faintly felt from the bottom of his heart that this was definitely a great opportunity. It was definitely beneficial without any disadvantages.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiaohu sat up on the kang bed with a "hu" sound. If there was a blessing, then it was not a curse. If there was a curse, then it could not be avoided. If it was really a great opportunity, then his hesitation would cause him to miss it. Immediately, Zhang Xiaohu had a plan. He sat down cross-legged and began to use the heart sutra of the "Ethereal Divine Art". He continued to think. Sure enough, the threads of cold Qi continued to seep from his forehead, flowing into his meridians. Some of it also flowed into a mysterious place in his mind.
Zhang Xiaohu was not like Zhang Xiaohua. He did not go through a systematic internal force study. Not only did he cultivate internal force at the Lotus Escort Agency, but he also received the careful teachings of Wen Wenhai in the Misty School. Regarding the nourishment, refinement, and transportation of zhenqi, he had a lot of experience. When the threads of starlight seeped into his forehead, he tried to control the starlight and integrate it into his zhenqi. Unfortunately, the starlight was not under his control. After it flowed into his meridians, it flowed forward along the meridians. The more it flowed, the less it became. It was only because the starlight on his forehead continued to seep into his meridians that the cold stream was able to maintain its flow in his meridians and did not disappear. When the cold stream had completed a full cycle and reached the starting point, there were only a few threads left. They mixed with the cold stream that entered later and continued to flow.
Zhang Xiaohu was a little anxious. He thought that his internal force control was not good enough and that the cold stream could not enter his dantian and become his zhenqi. In reality, the starlight had already integrated into the meridians of his entire body. It was refining and integrating with his meridians. It could be said that his meridians were undergoing earth-shattering changes. This change would allow him to have a higher starting point in his internal force cultivation in the future. It would be difficult for others to catch up with him. If it was really as Zhang Xiaohu thought and was only refining it into internal force, then it would be neglecting the essentials and pursuing the trifles.
At this time, Zhang Xiaohu did not know about this. He just kept on urging his heart technique, wanting to retain the starlight and not let it disappear.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Xiaohu did not know how many times he had urged his heart technique. The starlight in his meridians was still only a faint wisp, just enough to flow through his entire body. At this time, suddenly, Zhang Xiaohu felt that his forehead no longer had the cold stream seeping into it. Correspondingly, the cold stream in his body only circulated one cycle before completely disappearing.
Before Zhang Xiaohu could investigate the situation of his meridians and the changes in the zhenqi in his body, he heard the sound of Zhang Xiaohua on the kang beside him getting up. Zhang Xiaohu opened his eyes and saw Zhang Xiaohua tiptoeing up from the kang. She stretched, carefully opened the door, and walked out.
Zhang Xiaohu's heart moved. Could it be that the cold stream on his forehead was related to his brother?
Otherwise, when his brother got up, the cold stream would disappear?
Suppressing the urge to get up, Zhang Xiaohu still silently used his heart technique to check the situation of his cultivation last night. In his dantian, the pitiful amount of zhenqi did not increase at all. Checking his meridians, there was also no change. Zhang Xiaohu could not help but feel a little disappointed. It seemed that his hard work last night was in vain!
With a wry smile, Zhang Xiaohu also got up, opened the door, and went out.
