Hua Zhenxing is indeed a genius, and he has a foundation in cultivation in the Seventh Realm. It only took him less than five days to comprehend the Shape Swallowing Technique. Although he cannot fully understand its subtleties, it is at least an introduction.

On this basis, he started to practice the form of swallowing the crane, and only now did he understand what Old Man Yang said. It is not easy to learn the method of swallowing the form, and it is even harder to master it. Hua Zhenxing can only do the form of swallowing the crane at the moment.

, but can't fly.

Although he has transformed into a crane, he is still essentially a human being with human consciousness and behavioral patterns. Just look at his movement when he jumps onto a branch. It cannot be done by a crane.

The physiological structure, nerve response pattern, sensory system, and muscle memory of a crane are different from those of humans. Although Hua Zhenxing can swallow the shape of a crane, it is tangible but not spiritual.

Even if he learned this move, the clothes he was wearing could not learn it, so he was naked when he swallowed his form, and when he fell from the tree and fell into his original form, his buttocks were also bare.

It didn't matter that he fell, Sima Zhi was startled, and Zhu Yujing was almost disturbed in his calm state.

After the Spring Festival, Xiao Guang took a few days off and left Yangyuan Valley. Sima Zhui replaced him as the guardian of the Dongtian Formation. He was aware of all the movements happening here and actually knew what Hua Zhenxing was doing these days.

Sima Zhi found a crane coming out of the pavilion by the lakeside, jumped up a big tree, and then fell down while gesturing with its wings. Then he saw Mr. Hua stumbling down and gnawing mud.

What's going on with Zhu Yujing? He is in retreat in Fenran Pavilion. He has spread out his spiritual consciousness to blend the interior and exterior scenes, and he can also detect the movement in Yangyuan Valley...

Sima Zhi quickly used his spiritual mind to tell Zhu Yujing not to be surprised, and strictly prohibited him from telling anyone about this scene, which was regarded as a hush-hush order.

When Sima Zhi personally rushed to the Qingxiu Villa where Hua Zhenxing was retreating, Hua Zhenxing had already put on his clothes and was standing by the lake in a daze. He was reviewing and summarizing the mistakes he had just made - he had indeed swallowed a crane, but the result was a

Just a silly crane.

Sima Zhi: "Congratulations to Director Hua. He has mastered the form of swallowing a crane in just a few days. He is a peerless talent!"

Hua Zhenxing came back to his senses and waved his hand: "How can it be that exaggerated? A general can swallow a general into a crane, but he is not very good at flying... By the way, what about Manman and the others, they are not in Yangyuan Valley today?"

Sima Zhi: "Manman, Lang Xiaomin and others are returning to Dongguo on today's flight."

Hua Zhenxing: "Then it's time for me to take off. I'll leave the bench to you."

Sima Zhi waved his hand and said: "Director Hua, there is no need to be anxious. It is safer to practice and master it first. As for the small bench, you don't have to leave it behind. Locke has lent me his Feiyun boots for the time being. You can still take the small bench with you."

spare."

There was something that Sima Zhi didn't say. It would be fine if Hua Zhenxing fell from the tree. What if he flew to a high altitude and did it again? With a small bench, he could fly with weapons in time, so there was no danger.

But Hua Zhenxing shook his head and said: "I took the small bench with me and set off. I have nothing else to rely on. It's better to leave it behind and focus on my state of mind. Don't worry, even if I'm not yet proficient in the form of swallowing a crane, I'm still a seventh-level monk."

He handed the flying stool to Sima Zhi, taught him the soul brand, and sent him away. Then he swallowed the shape of a crane for the second time and climbed up the tree. He spread his wings and pushed hard, and he actually started to glide into the wind, far away.

Flying over the lake.

The flight was successful this time, but the posture looked very stiff, not like a living crane, but like a model.

It's not that Hua Zhenxing has no flying experience. On the contrary, he has a lot of flying experience. He first came from the Bamboo Magpie. The Bamboo Magpie is not a toy, but a technique similar to the Puppet Eye Technique, which can be attached to spiritual consciousness.

Flying the bamboo magpie feels a bit like being possessed by the bamboo magpie and flying high in the sky.

Hua Zhenxing did not have the experience or consciousness of being a crane, but he had long been familiar with playing bamboo magpie. After reviewing, summarizing, and reflecting, he used the body of the white crane to glide with the help of the air, and flew to the other side like a bamboo magpie.

But after all, he only borrowed some experience of the bamboo magpie technique. He himself is not a bamboo magpie, so there is nothing wrong with gliding in a posture, but it is still a long way from real flying.

Hua Zhenxing spent the whole morning wandering around in the no-man's land of Yangyuan Valley, floating here and there, falling into the water many times and climbing ashore naked, but luckily no one was watching.

He was so immersed in practicing that he didn't realize that someone could actually "see" it. Zhu Yujing was sitting in the Anran Pavilion, with the corners of his mouth twitching and his eyelids twitching. Later, he simply left the state of samadhi and stopped practicing.

In the afternoon, Hua Zhenxing, who landed once again, finally stopped flying and turned into a white crane, slithering along the shore of the lake. Suddenly, it spread its wings and jumped into the lake, and fished out a big fish with its long beak.

Maybe he was tired from all the hard work, so he changed back to his original clothes, put on his clothes, and cooked a meal of stone pot fish on the shore of the lake. It was this stone pot fish meal that made him suddenly seem to understand two things.

thing.

Firstly, although he swallowed the shape of a crane, he has not lost his cultivation realm. Otherwise, he would not have been unscathed if he fell from such a high tree in the morning and cracked a stone on his forehead - the spirit of Lu Wu Shen Lun Dan.

The effect is just amazing.

Just now that we were so far away, our spiritual consciousness could detect a big fish swimming by in the lake. Without even looking at it, we jumped over and caught it with our beaks. Ordinary white cranes don't have such ability... Anyway, it was a big fish.

The crane of cultivation.

What is a crane with cultivation? Isn’t it a crane monster, or a demon crane?

Thinking of this, Hua Zhenxing suddenly realized that someone in Yangyuan Valley should be able to "see" his embarrassing appearance while naked and thrashing around today, such as Sima Zhi and Zhu Yujing.

He shouldn't have forgotten this, but he really didn't realize it just now, even though Sima Zhi came to see him specially. He didn't know why, it was like he had lost his wits inexplicably after transforming into a monster crane.

Anyway, his embarrassment was revealed, so Hua Zhenxing pretended to be nonchalant, finished the pot of fish slowly, said hello to Sima Zhi with his spiritual mind, and moved out of the cave.

Now that you can fly, set off quickly. Even if it's embarrassing, don't leave it at home, and don't waste any more time. If you need to experience the form of swallowing a crane, you need to experience it in the form of a crane, so let's learn while flying.

The second thing Hua Zhenxing thought of was that if he wanted to master the instinct of a white crane, it was best to forget that he was a "human" and experience everything in the world as a crane, or even truly regard himself as a crane.

But the direction he left Yangyuan Valley seemed to be in the opposite direction, and he appeared in the plateau mountains to the west. This area is densely covered with towering peaks and cliffs.

He did it on purpose, as he wanted to become familiar with gliding in such a place with a huge height difference, spread his wings and feel the subtle flow of air, and only flap his wings at the right time.

The high-altitude airflow lifts the crane's body again and again like a relay. The constantly changing flight path allows it to fly higher and higher, gradually soaring to the top of the mountains... This feeling seems to be more exciting than riding a flying bench.

Huazhenxing also became Huahexing.

Hua Hexing was enjoying himself in the sky when he encountered the first crisis in his journey. Two black beasts attacked him.

The Black Desolate Crowned Bird is the most ferocious raptor on the Black Desolate Continent. Unlike vultures that like to eat carrion, they like to kill live prey. Their body length can be close to one meter, and their wingspan can reach more than two meters.

Although it looks very big, the Black Desolate Crown is very light, rarely weighing more than ten kilograms, but it can kill prey that is ten times its own weight. Various small animals and the cubs of large animals can

Maybe it's their food.

It will swoop down from a high place and grab the sheep on the hillside. Its hook and sharp claws can directly crush the skull of the sheep. Using the terrain and speed to bring the sheep into the air and then throw it down to death is also one of its trump cards.

The livestock and poultry raised by people, and even the children of the tribe, may be attacked by Mian wither.

When Hua Zhenxing escorted Rozchild to the Tema Kingdom, he sharpened a four-meter-long tree stick while walking through the wilderness. This was actually a traditional custom of the local tribes.

Carrying such a long stick when herding sheep is not only to guard against ferocious beasts, but according to experience, when Mian Sui sees someone holding such a long stick at high altitude, he will basically not pounce down.

In the more remote tribal villages, people always stick two long sharpened poles in front of the hut door to deal with various threats at any time, including the threat of crown withering.

The boundaries of the agricultural reclamation area are equipped with high-standard razor wire fences, which are mainly to prevent damage by various wild animals. They also protect wild animals in the wilderness and separate villages, towns, farmland, natural scattered planting areas and wasteland.

However, the razor wire grid cannot protect against falcons in the air, but the Blue Sky Washing Array and the Pure Dust Array, as long as there are monks on duty, can drive away falcons that may attack humans, animals and poultry.

Feral birds like the Mianqiu are not common in the plains, and they are becoming increasingly rare now. At least Hua Zhenxing did not encounter Mianqiu on the way he escorted Rozchild.

Today, when we flew among the mountains on the plateau, Hua Hexing suddenly encountered a male and a female. Xu found this strange big white bird flying across the territory in a blink of an eye, and felt very unhappy with its two heads wilted.

Hua Hexing didn't panic at all. He was not an ordinary white crane, but a demonic crane with advanced cultivation. When he flapped his wings, wind blades rolled out, knocking the two fierce crowns away.

Hua Hexing couldn't control his posture while fighting in the air, so Hua Hexing's height dropped involuntarily, and he fell into the deep valley under the cliff. However, after beating Mian wither away, Hua Hexing changed his posture and stabilized his body, and then he realized that he seemed to be in trouble again.

Stupid.

He just used wind magic.

If you practice the wind magic to a high level, you can increase the altitude and stay in the air, assist running and jumping, and slow down the falling speed. People may look like they can fly, but that is not true flying.

But he is a bird now, and he can fly. If he uses wind magic, wouldn't it be easier to fly? Such methods are not only used for fighting with two idiots!

Hua Hexing couldn't help but think of Manman again. Manman is a "water magician". If he learns the shape of swallowing dragons and masters the magical power of water control in the future, it will be so beautiful!

During the next flight, Hua Hexing used wind magic to create and control airflow to make various gestures in the air, such as suddenly folding his wings and making an accelerated dive, imitating the action of Mianfai's attack just now.

After reaching a low altitude, he suddenly spread his wings and slowed down, just like a fighter jet performing stunts. An ordinary white crane cannot withstand such a large maneuvering overload, let alone perform this series of flying movements.

Hua Hexing, who was feeling the pleasure of flying, couldn't help but think of an idiom - like a crane with wings! He didn't realize that there was a grammatical error in this word, because cranes already have wings, and the more wings they have, the better they fly.

Hua Hexing was like a stupid bird now. He didn't realize that he seemed to be still in some kind of intellectual state, and he flapped his wings and flew out of the mountains again.

I saw a white crane flying over the northern part of the agricultural reclamation area. It looked like it was mentally ill and flew inexplicably in the air. At the lower reaches of the Beiluo River, it turned north and passed over the Moon Lake. It was not in a hurry to fly overseas, but

Entered the wilderness.

The so-called wasteland is not really desolate. At certain times of the year, it will also show lush water and grass and a vibrant scene. However, there is no human habitation here, and due to climate and meteorological conditions, it is not suitable for reclamation and settlement.

Long rainy seasons and dry seasons alternate every year. In the absence of infrastructure, people cannot survive for a long time, and even animals migrate back and forth.

At first, Hua Hexing was flying along the route that he had escorted Rozchild, but then he gradually deviated, and the direction was still not right, and entered the northwest region of Huanxiangt State, the Kingdom of Kilili, the Kingdom of Nilang, and the Kingdom of Tema.

The junction of countries.

Huanxiang Industrial bought nearly 50,000 square kilometers of land here. This area is the end of the north-south mountain range. At the foot of the mountain is the gravel Gobi with no grass. Further north is the rolling desert, which extends to the basin sea.

.

This is a place where rabbits don't poop, because there are no rabbits at all. The sun is scorching during the day, and the wind is constant from dusk to dawn, and no mineral resources have been explored, so it is of no value at all.

Huanxiang Industrial was taken advantage of once and spent a lot of money to buy such a large piece of land. Many people in the two neighboring countries became rich because of it.

How can this place be developed in the future? It is an excellent place for wind and solar power generation, and even wind and solar energy can achieve a very good connection between day and night.

Although there is very little rainfall in the Gobi Desert, a river passed through it in ancient times and flowed north into the Basin Sea. That ancient river is still buried under the sand dunes today, and an artificial river can be built on this basis.

There is rainfall on the southern plateau, and there is a lot of precipitation in the heavy rainy season. This is also the source of the seasonal river in ancient times. However, due to changes in the terrain, several gaps appeared between the parallel mountains.

The floodwaters in the rainy season are discharged to the east and west sides, and the northward seasonal river disappears. However, the basic meteorological conditions are still there, and it can be restored through water conservancy projects.

With this river, its evaporation can also be reduced by using the karez method. This 50,000 square kilometers of desert area can be developed and utilized, and a number of production and living facilities can be built at suitable locations.

When Hua Hexing thought this way, he felt that something was not right. When flying north in winter, the climate should be getting cooler and cooler, but this area was getting drier and hotter, and it even felt like his feathers were about to be scorched.

Cranes are birds that don't like dry and hot environments. Under natural circumstances, it is almost impossible to fly over a large area of ​​desert. But Hua Hexing flew to this area, so he felt an instinctive discomfort.
