Chapter 894 Returning to the Hiki Village, Phantom Heart Flow

Walking forward along the mountain road of Bayun Island, looking up at the mountain-like snake head, Hua Sanli looked back at the Seven Heavenly God Statue in a trance.

"Sir!"

"Sir!"

Along the way, many people cheered and saluted Jiang Yi when they saw him.

Holding various tools and carrying wooden boards and boxes, they were repairing the wooden bridges, houses and abandoned carts that were destroyed by the war along the way from Nashiki Beach to Himeki Village on Yae Island.

There is no leader on Bayu Island, and the chief of Hime Village, relying on the favor of the gods and his strong popularity, now manages most of the affairs on Bayu Island.

If you want to be rich, build roads first.

Under the guidance of the oracle, the first thing Himukura did after seeing the ceasefire between the Coral Palace and the shogunate was to build roads.

It runs parallel to the narrow gap of the Wuxiang Blade, passes the Seven Heavenly Statue, there is also a road through some water, as well as an intersecting trunk leading to the Head of the Snake God and the east side of the Bayun Island, and finally the road near the Snake Bone Mine, connecting all the residents and small villages.

Next, build fishing boats and depict sea routes.

The second thing is to try to raise fish again in the freshwater areas that have been cleared of the pollution from the "Sui Shen". The vast freshwater lake on Bayun Island is a good resource.

The waterfalls and the remains of a giant snake are also great attractions.

Develop the surrounding land and turn it into fertile fields for growing vegetables and rice.

As for the third and more important thing, it is public security.

Bandits, pirates, wandering samurai, monsters, evil spirits... they need people to guard against and deter them.

They were self-reliant and no longer relied on the shogunate's army, which had once harmed the villagers. They also had limited cooperation with the Coral Palace resistance army stationed in Fujikado Fort on Yabin Island.

Today, the most powerful defense force of Himeki Village is the village chief of Himeki Village and the young people who were once given the power of true energy by the gods to resist the shogunate army and bravely stand up.

It is enough to guard the village, but it is not enough to guard the entire island. There are too few people and a lack of truly strong people.

The village chief Washizu is quite capable in fighting, but his main responsibility is to manage the village, not to go out and fight monsters and wandering samurai.

This task is now undertaken by part of the Coral Palace resistance forces stationed on Bayun Island, in the name of supporting the village protected by Lord Jiang Yi, an ally of Lord Xinhai of the Coral Palace.

Although their other goal was to prevent the Tenryo Bugyo army from intervening, Washizu allowed some of their activities, but not as support as the Coral Palace rebels said, but in the name of "cooperation" employment.

This was the first contact between the two sides after the war.

The cold villagers of Himuko Village and the enthusiastic resistance soldiers had their first exchange.

Finally, in Feimu Village, because there were still many former workers from the Snake Bone Mine and technicians who escaped from Talingsha, other aspects also began to flourish.

The miners have now become stonemasons, quarrying stones and cutting wood to build a temple for "Bodhi Miaoye Lord", building stone houses for the residents of Feimu Village, repairing the damaged defensive walls... and the waste materials are used to fill the large pits formed by artillery shells and elemental forces that appeared in the war.

Those technicians who once had some knowledge of "steelmaking" and were willing to stay here began to consider whether to build a simple steel furnace, manufacture weapons, and change their careers to blacksmiths.

Even if you don't fight with swords, fighting with iron farm tools, pots and pans, warships and anchors... is also a good way to survive.

Along the way, the entire Bayun Island has been changing with each passing day under the leadership of the village chief of Himuko Village, showing a strong vitality after the war.

Jiang Yi felt more power of faith.

His devout believer, the chief of Himeki Village, Washizu, often prays to him for the development of Himeki Village, so without reading any official documents, Jiang Yi can understand many things through the prayers of many believers.

If you want to be more detailed, there are also divination techniques and the circular light mirror method.

The eyes of God see the world.

Mundane matters are like observing the lines on the palm of your hand.

Not counting the dream trial, even later under the influence of the work of Liyue Yuehaiting Yuhengxing Keqing and senior sister Ganyu, he also had some management experience.

With the heart of a god, he is able to plan and strategize, and has a far-sighted vision. He is no longer the young boy he was when he traveled through time.

All past experiences are the stones of the peak under your feet now.

Jiang Yi was greeted by Washizu, the village chief of Himeki Village, and walked on the streets of Himeki Village with Hanasari.

"Although they are all laughing, the people here seem to be more relaxed than those on Narukami Island." Hanasari looked at the lively children and the adults who were working hard with full of anticipation.

Under the golden Bodhi tree, there is a field of golden rice and wheat that bear ears of grain all year round. They are regarded as sacred and cannot be picked.

The faint fragrance of grain, along with the sea breeze, permeates the entire village, like a frozen moment of autumn harvest.

The cold sea breeze is blocked by the golden Bodhi tree. In the rainy sky, the elemental light of the tree is always bright. At night, there are also fluorescent dots, crystal butterfly light and moonlight shining on the earth.

A peace and tranquility that comes from the heart brings a sense of being at peace with the world.

Very...suitable for retirement? And...young people who don't have much drive and like peace.

This is an ideal place where everyone is relatively equal in a small country with few people.

"The more we want peace, the more we need force." Jiang Yi looked at Jiujin, "I will leave the Magic Sword Ghost and the Wild Skull here, you can borrow their power."

"The wild skull represents injuries, pain, evil thoughts, and regrets against war. Its form, spirit, and intention are in harmony with yours."

"I obtained the 'Fox Pass' technique from the Sky Fox Clan. The body of the Wild Skull is not suitable for staying in the village, but is more suitable for staying outside the village. However, with the help of the Word Spirit and the method of summoning a hundred ghosts that I taught you, you can use the knife to support the hundred ghosts - the Wild Skull."

"After being unsealed, his power can descend upon you, forming a fierce general's Dharma form, allowing you to have the power to fight against the powerful holder of the Eye of God, and truly maintain the stability of the island."

On the way, Hanasari gave him the fox demon and shrine maiden training system she knew as a gift. He comprehended it and integrated it with talismans and incantations to form the "method of summoning a hundred ghosts."

When a hundred demons possess me, I am a Shura. Killing to protect life is just what suits Washizu's martial arts.

With the power of true qi, most monsters can be killed with one move.

"Thank you, Venerable!" Jiang Yi pointed out, and after Jiujin received the teachings, he clasped his hands together excitedly like a mental patient, with his eyes moistened exaggeratedly.

He, he once again felt the vast consciousness and power, as well as the endless compassion.

Who said that the Venerable doesn't care about mortals? This thoughtful gift at this moment is something that Ming Shen and Sui Shen can never give.

Hanasari was stunned for a moment, looking at Washizu who... didn't seem normal.

The implementation of the policies along the way made her think that this person was a good old man who followed his words.

Looking at him now, with his resolute and muscular figure, his aged but ruddy face nourished by the true energy, and his whole aura of being kind yet fierce, he is clearly an all-round fanatic who can fight and manage.

This gesture...she can't do it, she can't compare to it!

If I settle here and become a shrine maiden, it seems I will have to deal with this old man.

It seemed too challenging for a young girl like her. If they disagreed, would this guy use a knife to attack?

Jiang Yi was also speechless for a moment.

When Washizu introduced Himiki Village and reported on his work, he was still excited, but he became much more normal again.

Feimu Village now has enough food, the only thing it lacks is clean, warm and cheap clothes. Liyue’s Southern Cross Fleet stopped for a while before, traded with him, and sent some clothes.

Himukura wanted to develop martial arts, so he sent people to invite many leaders of Inazuma martial arts schools. Finally, he invited a leader of the "Shinryu" school to settle here.

I am willing to teach for a while and then see if I want to stay.

To provide for the elderly and teach disciples.

"Flow", phantom flow, master Shechuan.

An old man with gray hair.

His "Shin-Flow" is his original technique, which is said to be different from weapon-based fighting styles such as the Iwakura-Ryu, Kitain-Ryu, and the foreign "Saikaze Kenjutsu". The essence of his technique lies in honing the "Shin-Flow", and then using the "Shin-Flow" to hone combat skills.

Jiang Yi immediately thought of his "battlefield of memories and dreams" and used it to fight the enemies he had fought against before.

Shigekawa's skills come from his early years wandering overseas, studying martial arts, and observing the "fist fighting skills" of the Nata people of the Fire Nation.

In the martial arts style of "boxing", the practitioner fights with an imaginary enemy.

Imagine the enemy's actions and then respond to the fantasy.

Just like the glasses of Mondstadt Witch Lisa, you can see your "imaginary friend" who will hit you.

Jiang Yi smiled.

The old man believed that this practice technique, locally known as "shadow fighting", was a rather solitary practice, and that "flow" was an unlimited fighting style that took this practice to the extreme.

Under his guidance, any imaginary enemy can be reproduced.

Jiang Yi calculated that the words of the old man who appeared in this game were not exaggerated.

According to the old man, from slimes to fallen warriors, and even the advance team of Fatui from the Kingdom of Winter, as long as one masters the experience of Flow, one can easily recreate the situation of fighting with them, thereby honing one's own combat skills.

Not only his opponents, but also the wind direction, weather, mechanisms, and even "ground vein anomalies" can be simulated through flow.

The only problem is that this practical technique requires the disciple to have a certain level of knowledge and to have seen some of the attack methods of monsters or humans before entering into the fantasy.

Next, what makes people hold back is that once the disciple enters the flow state, the battle will become too real, and they will actually get hurt when fighting imaginary enemies.

I felt like my hands and feet were cut off by the sword of my fantasy, and my body was shot through by the musket of my fantasy.

This is mental harm. When it comes to the body, you will find that you still have your hands and feet, but they feel like they are broken and you can no longer lift them. There are no wounds on your body, but it is really painful and you want to die.

"It's a good school. If it is to be inherited by the Feimu Village, it is indeed suitable." Jiang Yi commented, "At the end, someone who can perform illusion therapy will be assigned to heal their spirits."

The defects of flow make it impossible for people who are not obsessed with martial arts to learn it, while people who are too obsessed with martial arts cannot distinguish between the real and the fake.

This also led to the old man being unable to find a successor, and when he heard Washizu's invitation, he couldn't wait to come over.

Washizu is a genius and also well-informed. In a short period of time, he has learned the essence of the heart flow and has made great progress in martial arts.

As for the other members of the guard team of Himuki Village, none of them have yet been initiated.

"If it's an illusion, I can help..." Hanasari finally found a chance to interrupt.

"Your Excellency, who is this guest..." Washizu asked politely.

"My name is Hanasari, the shrine maiden of God." Hanasari finally proudly revealed her identity, and with an eager look, she challenged Washizu, "Lord Washizu, are you willing to talk to me in detail?"

She found an opportunity to integrate into the Himuk Village.

With strength, with wisdom, with identity...

"Hiki Village does need a shrine maiden to perform tasks such as exorcising demons." Washizu bowed to Hanasari and said, "Since you brought me here, I will naturally accept the invitation."

The whole village is like a running carriage. Once it starts, it will roll forward. All aspects of need will gather under the light of God.

Bring enough glory to the future of Himuki Village.
