Chapter 9: There are Japanese pirates here?
Li Ping, oblivious to Huang Rong's preoccupation with these matters, said, "Your move just now was so dazzling, I had no idea how to counter it..."
Huang Rong's gloom vanished, and she laughed, "This is mainly because your five senses are too slow. However, as your cultivation deepens, your five senses will become more and more acute, and then it will be much better."
"As for how to deal with the Falling Flower Divine Sword Palm..."
"In this situation, you can either use offense as defense, forcing the enemy to defend and retreat, or withdraw your sword to protect yourself, observe the enemy's moves, and remember not to make random moves..."
"Your response wasn't entirely wrong, but your cultivation level is too low, which is why I was able to easily disarm you!"
"However, your exorcising energy is truly amazing. I've never seen or heard of energy of this nature before. It circulates incredibly fast..."
Although Huang Rong's martial arts skills were only average, her father was Huang Yaoshi, and she naturally had extraordinary knowledge and experience due to being influenced by him.
Just a few words of martial arts wisdom that slip out of her mouth would be enough to feed someone for a lifetime.
Li Ping absorbed this knowledge with great eagerness, especially the knowledge about true qi!
True Qi is truly amazing!
It can not only enhance your strength, your resilience, and your agility, but also improve your perception... and even heal wounds. In some ways, this thing is practically omnipotent!
Finally, Li Ping finished reviewing the game, looked at the two girls, and smiled, "Thank you Rong'er and Ying'er for your careful guidance these past few days."
"We're free this afternoon, how about we go out to sea together?"
Li Ping has always been interested in the scenery at sea, but he never had the chance to go out to sea before. Now he finally has the opportunity.
Huang Rong wasn't particularly interested in the scenery at sea. She had seen it every day since she was a child, and even the most beautiful scenery would become tiresome.
However, these days she was either studying, instructing Li Ping in martial arts, or waiting for news from Huang Yaoshi, which made Huang Rong feel a bit bored, so she looked at Su Ying.
Su Ying laughed and said, "I've never seen what the ocean looks like before!"
So the three of them rented a boat and went out to sea.
Once at sea, looking at the vast ocean and the merchant ships, Li Ping realized that he had made a mistake in his understanding of the history of the Ming Dynasty. Who said that the Ming Dynasty banned the sea?
There are so many merchant ships at sea!
Is it because this world is not part of official history?
Li Ping didn't dwell on it and said, "I once heard people say that if you see a large ship at sea, you'll see the mast first, and then you'll see the hull..."
"You can even see that the sea level is curved..."
"Because the earth is a sphere."
"After actually going to sea, I realized they were all talking nonsense."
Looking from this distance, the huge ship on the horizon isn't even a pixel away; who the hell can tell the difference between the ship and the mast?!
Unless you have a high-powered telescope!
Textbooks are deceiving people too! They're a real rip-off!
Huang Rong chuckled, and with a whoosh, she took off her clothes, put on her swimsuit, and jumped into the sea!
Watching Huang Rong swim like a sea fish in the sea, Su Ying said, "Sometimes I really envy Rong'er. She has martial arts skills and can do many things that I want to do but can't."
Li Ping said, "Then practice on your own. If you want to learn martial arts, what's so difficult about it?"
Su Ying was stunned for a moment.
She didn't practice martial arts before because even if she learned Wei Wuya's martial arts, she wouldn't be a match for him and wouldn't be able to escape his control.
On the contrary, not practicing martial arts might lower Wei Wuya's guard, and perhaps one day he could escape Wei Wuya's control.
To outsiders, she had her own explanation, saying things like martial arts were crude, that using brains was better than muscles, and that she looked down on martial arts...
Originally, these words were just a protective cover, but after saying them for a long time, it seems that I have really started to believe it!
Terrible!
If Li Ping hadn't woken me up, I would have almost fooled myself while lying to others!
Su Ying is a truly intelligent person, so she is well aware that in life, there will always be problems that cannot be solved by brains alone.
In this situation, I must learn martial arts!
So she smiled and said, "That's true, or perhaps I could learn martial arts with you..."
Li Ping nodded and said, "Alright, let's make progress together!"
Just then, a column of water rose from the sea, and Huang Rong, carrying a young girl, emerged from the water and landed on the deck.
The girl's face was ashen, and her stomach was bloated, clearly indicating that she had swallowed an unknown amount of seawater...
Li Ping's expression changed, and he checked the girl's breath and pulse...
He stopped breathing, but his pulse was still beating!
So he prepared to perform chest compressions on the girl to help her expel the seawater, and then give her artificial respiration...
Huang Rong was stunned when she saw Li Ping's preparatory movements: "What are you going to do?"
Li Ping made a pressing gesture: "I'm going to press on her chest to force the fluid out of her body..."
Huang Rong blinked, then pressed several acupoints on the girl's body. The girl suddenly opened her mouth and vomited seawater...
This move truly stunned Li Ping.
Huang Rong sighed, "Although I haven't explained it to you in detail before, when I was explaining acupoints to you, I explained what the reaction would be if each acupoint was stimulated..."
"If you just concentrate and think about it, you'll know that by combining these acupoints, you can make her vomit seawater on her own!"
Li Ping shook his head. "It's already quite good that I can remember where each acupoint is these days."
As for the rest...
Please spare me!
The girl finally came to her senses and warily sized up the three people in front of her!
After learning the whole story, the girl suddenly knelt on the deck and kowtowed to the three men, then burst into tears!
Li Ping was startled and it took him a while to calm her down before he learned what had happened from the girl.
It turns out that she was originally a girl from a small fishing village by the sea in Fuzhou.
But two days ago, their village was attacked by Japanese pirates; all the men were killed and all the women were taken away.
She was captured and taken to an island, and only managed to escape by jumping overboard...
"Japanese pirates!?"
Upon hearing this word, Li Ping was stunned!
Were there already Japanese pirates during the Zhengde era?
These beasts are truly inhuman...
Huang Rong asked curiously, "What are 'Japanese pirates'?"
During the Song Dynasty, there were no Japanese pirates along the coast, so Li Ping explained this to Huang Rong.
Huang Rong was furious after hearing this.
The Liao, Jin, Western Xia, and Mongol kingdoms, these surrounding barbarians, kept finding ways to bully the Song Dynasty until it was bullied to the point of extinction!
As a result, by the time the Ming Dynasty arrived, even a tiny country like Japan dared to bully the Central Plains dynasty.
This is absolutely outrageous!
Huang Rong said angrily, "Why don't we go take a look? Find these Japanese pirates and wipe them out."
Li Ping said, "I also dislike these Japanese pirates, but how are we supposed to find them?"
Huang Rong asked the girl a few questions, then said to Li Ping, "I can roughly deduce where the island this girl mentioned is... Shall we go?"
Wow, is it that amazing?
No wonder she's a girl who grew up at sea!
Li Ping said, "Yes, of course I'll go!"
Now that he has mastered the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, if time were sped up, even Huang Rong might not be his match.
I can go back in time five times and escape death five times. What is there to worry about when dealing with some Japanese pirates?
These guys aren't much stronger than the bandits the original owner encountered...
