Chapter 153: Tide of Fish Spirits
Chapter 153: Tide of Fish Spirits
"Uncle Wan, why are you here?" Li Yuan was quite surprised.
Apart from telling my family, a few classmates including An Nong and Gu Qianghan about my itinerary.
But there is no one else.
"Haha, I was fishing at the lake yesterday and happened to run into your uncle and talked about you." Wan Qinghe laughed and said, "I just knew you would be back today."
"It just so happens that I have to report to the Municipal Martial Hall today. After I finished my work in the morning, I thought I might as well come and pick you up." Wan Qinghe said with a smile.
"That's a coincidence." Li Yuan continued with a smile, "That's good, I can get home quickly in Uncle Wan's aircraft."
Is it really such a coincidence that Li Yuan didn't expose the other party?
Even if it was a coincidence, there was no need for Uncle Wan to pick me up at the airport.
It is more than ten kilometers from Shiwu Temple to the airport.
"Okay, your vacation is short, so it's better for you to get home early. I'll give you a ride." Wan Qinghe smiled and said, "In fact, with your level, you can definitely reserve a Wudian aircraft."
"I didn't expect this." Li Yuan said with a smile.
"Let's go."
The two men walked through the inspection channel and headed towards the small aircraft parked a few hundred meters away.
……
On board the aircraft.
"The situation has deteriorated so much?" Li Yuan listened to Wan Qinghe's description of the situation in Jiangbei.
This was a topic that Li Yuan took the initiative to bring up.
That's what he wanted to know too.
"Yes, this year's attack is unusual." Wan Qinghe nodded seriously, "Since the beginning of the year when you got the young hero, the scale has been increasing. August is the flood season... According to the usual practice in previous years, after entering the dry season, the Fish Spirit Star Realm should be much more peaceful, but this year, the offensive has been increased instead."
"Especially in the past month, there has been smoke of war everywhere." Wan Qinghe sighed: "Jiangcheng City suffered a small-scale attack, while Shizhou and Yizhou were the most tragic."
Li Yuan nodded slightly. He had been watching the news frequently recently and knew the general situation.
"The fish spirits are humanoid creatures and should be intelligent enough. Are they all so fearless and brave?" Li Yuan frowned.
"It is speculated that a new round of 'Fish Spirit Tide' is about to erupt." Wan Qinghe sighed.
"The tide of fish spirits?" Li Yuan wondered.
He hasn't heard of it.
"This is a concept that was recently proposed by the Martial Hall."
"As far as I know, the Fish Spirit warriors in the Fish Spirit Star Realm like the ones you first met are actually similar to the 'worker ants' in the ant tribe. They absolutely obey the orders of their leader. Even if the leader orders them to die, they will obey." Wan Qinghe said.
"Worker ants?" Li Yuan instantly thought of many possibilities. This kind of civilization model is not uncommon among the "alien civilizations" that human civilization has come into contact with.
"They seem to be multiplying very quickly... In the past few decades, the Fish Spirit Star Realm has launched three large-scale attacks on Jiangbei Province."
"Once fifteen years ago."
"The other time was thirty-three years ago."
"The earliest one was forty-seven years ago." Wan Qinghe said quickly: "According to records, before each large-scale attack, the number of small-scale attacks would continue to increase."
"About every fifteen years?" Li Yuan said, but he was thinking about more in his mind.
Fifteen years... was the year my parents died...
"Correct."
"So there is speculation that a new round of fish spirit tide is about to break out." Wan Qinghe said: "It's just that the main attack direction of the fish spirit tribe has not yet been determined. From the current signs, it is speculated that it is in the direction of Shizhou and Yizhou."
"After all, it is the closest to the entrance to the Fish Spirit Star Realm, and there are also signs of large-scale mobilization of Fish Spirit warriors."
"The three major attacks in history were all within a thousand kilometers of the entrance and exit of the Fish Spirit Star Realm."
Li Yuan nodded slightly.
The speculation is reasonable.
"So, the military and the two major martial arts halls have recently launched a large-scale operation in Xianghe." Wan Qinghe said: "Some mechanical troops and combat-ready warriors in Jiangcheng have been secretly transferred to Shizhou and Yizhou."
"What about other directions in Jiangbei Province?" Li Yuan hesitated.
"No way." Wan Qinghe shook his head: "No one dares to confirm whether the Fish Spirit Tribe has launched the Fish Spirit Tide, and once launched, where the main attack direction will be."
"We have limited strength, so we can only focus on defense in secret. If there is a large-scale attack, we will concentrate our strength to provide support... After all, the Fish Spirit Star Realm is not a key star realm."
Li Yuan sighed in his heart.
Indeed, there are many star realms within the Xia Kingdom, and even more star realms in the entire human civilization.
There are many star realms that pose a greater threat than the Fish Spirit Star Realm...Human civilization has limited power and can only focus on defense.
There are also some star realms like 'Robu Sea', where large armies are stationed all year round, and large-scale fierce battles are fought with alien civilizations... The resources consumed every year are astronomical.
In comparison, the Fish Spirit Star Realm is indeed not very eye-catching.
"Don't think too much, Jiangcheng is still relatively safe." Wan Qinghe said with a smile: "Go home and accompany your uncle and aunt today, and come to my house for lunch tomorrow at noon."
"Your teacher Xu and I have also agreed that we will come together tomorrow. He lives not far away." Wan Qinghe gave Li Yuan a reason that he could not refuse.
"Okay." Li Yuan said with a smile.
soon.
The aircraft returned to Nanhu Xinghuo Community and arrived at the edge of Li Yuan’s villa.
Li Yuan and Wan Qinghe got off the aircraft.
"Uncle Wan."
"Wait a moment, I brought you a gift, let's take it back together." Li Yuan smiled and said, "The gift was sent back in advance. I wanted to give it to you when I visited you."
At the entrance of the villa, Li Changzhou and Chen Hui, who had received the notice, came out with smiles on their faces.
"Uncle, aunt." Li Yuan put down the bag.
He took the gift box from Li Changzhou and handed it back to Wan Qinghe: "Uncle Wan, I don't know what else to bring. Inside is a set of alumni souvenirs for the 150th anniversary of Kunlun Wuhan University."
"I asked a teacher at school to make a new one." Li Yuan said with a smile, "Although the school anniversary has long passed, it can still be considered a commemoration."
Wan Qinghe also graduated from Kunlun Wuhan University.
"Thank you very much." Wan Qinghe said with a smile. Last year was the 150th anniversary of Kunlun Wuhan University, but he was unable to attend.
It's quite regrettable.
Wan Qinghe only mentioned it to Li Yuan once, but he didn't expect that Li Yuan would actually remember it.
Brought him a souvenir.
"Okay, I'll go first." Wan Qinghe smiled and said, "Remember to come home tomorrow." "Okay."
……
Wan Qinghe returned to his villa in Nanhu Xinghuo Community.
"Iron Tower." Wan Qinghe made the call skillfully and said with a smile, "Li Yuan has already agreed to come for dinner, so don't refuse. Come along."
"Li Yuangang has been talking about visiting you since he was on the aircraft. Why don't you two get together as master and disciple?"
Hang up the call with Xu Bo.
Wan Qinghe thought for a moment and sent a message to Song Yi: "Li Yuan has returned to Jiangcheng today."
Turn off the Smart Ring meter.
"This guy named Song owes me another small favor." Wan Qinghe showed a smile.
"Mr. Fei."
"Your status is too high, it's not easy to befriend Li Yuan's family." Wan Qinghe muttered in his heart: "My status and strength... are just right."
"Hey! There are some things you need to learn from me."
……
After returning home and giving gifts to my uncle and aunt.
The family happily enjoyed lunch, which was prepared by Aunt Chen Hui early in the morning.
"Uncle Wan often goes fishing by the lake?" Li Yuan listened to his uncle talking about some things at home while eating.
"Yeah." Li Changzhou nodded and said with a smile: "It's hard to say whether this Wandianzhu likes fishing or not, but he likes chatting."
Li Yuan couldn't help but smile.
My uncle has no other hobby except fishing.
"Uncle, it's okay, you can talk about whatever you want to talk about." Li Yuan smiled and said, "In the future, I will help Uncle Wan wherever I can."
"That's right. He has been kind to our family." Li Changzhou said.
slowly.
Li Yuan talked about some things in school. Some of them could not be disclosed according to the rules, but most of the content could still be discussed... However, Li Yuan did not mention that he was going to explore the star world after the vacation.
Good things can be shared with elders early on, which can make them happy for a longer period of time.
For example, Li Yuan told his uncle and aunt a week in advance about going home.
But bad or dangerous things are better told later so that they will worry less.
"Xixi and Muhua live on campus?" Li Yuan wondered.
"Correct."
"It's like this at Wudian's junior high school. Apart from the weekends, they can only go home for one night on Wednesday." Chen Hui smiled and said, "They can come home tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll pick them up tomorrow." Li Yuan said with a smile, "Give them a surprise."
I haven't seen my brother and sister for a long time.
……
On the first day back home, Li Yuan was extremely happy and chatted with his uncle and aunt for a long time.
After dinner, a guest came to our house.
"Palace Master Song?" Li Yuan smiled and said, "Please take a seat."
"Li Yuan." Song Yi smiled elegantly and brought several gifts.
After some exchanges.
She came for no other purpose but to visit, and she left after sitting for less than a quarter of an hour.
"Those who can become the masters of a palace all have very sensitive noses." Li Yuan sighed secretly.
This is true for Uncle Wan and Song Yi as well.
Li Yuan saw clearly what Song Yi was thinking, and he did not reject her kindness.
"All I have to do is make myself stronger." Li Yuan saw through the essence at a glance.
……
After nine o'clock in the evening, my uncle and aunt went to bed.
The underground martial arts room was brightly lit.
"It's time to start a new day of practice." Li Yuan smiled: "From now until seven o'clock tomorrow morning, it will be ten hours."
It's also a holiday.
Other students need to socialize, reminisce with their families, and rest at night, so their practice time will be greatly reduced, but for Li Yuan... a holiday?
It just shortened the practice time from full day to half day.
A full day or half day in the true sense.
"At least it shouldn't delay my visualization and energy absorption." Li Yuan thought to himself.
Li Yuan has reached the fourth level of skills. Even if he practices madly over and over again in a short period of time, it is difficult to break through.
It may not be a bad thing to relax now.
However, whether it is the growth of mental strength or physical fitness... it is a long and arduous process.
Not a day can be lost.
"'Stars in the Sky.'" Li Yuan sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to meditate. With a thought, he activated the life star vein in his body, causing countless source powers to flow in.
The source of power circulates throughout the body, passing through every part of the body, causing the muscles, bones, blood and flesh to constantly transform.
……
February 12, noon.
Li Yuan went to Wan Qinghe's home.
In addition to Xu Bo, the banquet was also attended by the deputy hall master of the Xinghuo Guanshan branch hall, the 'Left Hall Master'.
At the beginning, she was the one who represented Xinghuo Martial Hall to attend Li Yuan's "Young Hero Commendation Conference" and was quite familiar with Li Yuan.
"Teacher, did you join the 'City Patrol Team'?" Li Yuan listened to Teacher Xu Bo's talk.
