From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 6 The treasure book of rivers and seas
If you want to learn, learn the best. Since you want to transform as soon as possible, the treasure book with the insect seal version must be more powerful than the treasure book with ordinary characters.

However, You Ming regretted it as soon as he said this.

I was still too rash. The mainstream idea in this world is that the truth should not be passed on lightly. Since this insect seal is so powerful, asking like this is tantamount to running up to someone and asking for money and property.

Those with a good temper will just refuse you directly, while those with a bad temper will deserve a beating.

However, after hearing You Ming's words, the old man was not angry, but just looked at the little carp with a strange look.

"You have a desire to learn, which is rare. I'll be teaching classes at the [Collection Department] office for half a month in August. If you'd like to learn, just come and sit in. However, I'll only teach and won't answer questions. If you want me to answer your questions, you'll have to pay me with divine power."

"Well, I'll give you one divine power for each question you answer."

The old man shook his head and spoke.

When You Ming heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. He loved this kind of free stuff the most, and he immediately expressed his gratitude profusely.

……

"With water as the essence and qi as the pulse, the body and mind flow like a stream, and the qi flows in all directions."

"Concentrate your mind and calm your breath, feeling the vastness of the rivers and seas. Activate the water spirit within, and absorb the springs of heaven and earth without. Day by day, draw the power of the rivers into your body, filling it with water energy, and unblocking your Qi channels, like the surging rivers and seas, endless and inexhaustible..."

After returning to Yuanling Mountain, You Ming hid in the spirit pool and silently practiced the contents of the [Treasure Book of River and Sea Tides], trying to change his own magic power.

His previous magic power was tempered by the [Xuanyuan Water Method]. The magic power did not have many special features. At most, it was like a gurgling stream, endless. It might be longer than ordinary magic power, but it was also limited.

If one could condense the great magical power of the tides of rivers and seas, then the magical power would be as vast and profound as the rivers and seas, and it would be overwhelming and far more powerful than it is now.

However, he still underestimated the difficulty of the method in the treasure book, which involved the operation of 108 meridians. If he made a mistake in one of them, he would fail.

You Ming tried hard all night, but ultimately failed.

He felt that his IQ was not bad. After all, he had passed the exam to become a middle-class bar dancer in his previous life. While he was copying the treasure book, he was already constructing the direction of the qi channels in his mind and felt that he had memorized it all.

But once the magic power starts to work, it will suddenly get out of control, making his efforts in vain.

"Practicing is still too difficult. When can I find a cheat code to improve my comprehension?"

The little carp had dull eyes, its belly turned upside down, and was lying on its back in the water.

In the world of immortals and heroes, comprehension is undoubtedly an important qualification for cultivation, but it is obvious that his body also lacks this ability.

He always felt that his memory and comprehension abilities were not bad, but whether he was practicing the [Xuanyuan Water Method] or the current [Jianghai Chaosheng Treasure Book], neither seemed to be of much help.

After experiencing many setbacks, he began to doubt his ability to learn.

I have been in this world for half a year and have almost mastered the language and writing of this world. Why do I become so stumbling when it comes to practicing?

However, his fighting spirit soon returned to his heart.

It's just a failure. After this failure, we should summarize the problems and make a little effort. There will always be a day when we will succeed.

Just when he was about to take out two books on body-refining methods, wanting to start with the simple ones to change his mood, he suddenly had an idea.

In the dark, he seemed to hear the sound of prayer.

The wind chimes hanging from the eaves of the Yuanling Mountain Niangniang Temple seemed to sway gently in the evening breeze, sending out crisp sounds. "Believers like Zhao Chunhua prayed devoutly, hoping that Niangniang Bixia would bless my daughter-in-law with a safe birth. As long as I can continue the Qin family's legacy, I will return to the temple to fulfill my vow."

You Ming listened attentively and saw that it was a believer praying.

Naturally, these words of prayer could not reach the ears of Lady Bixia. Lady Bixia was a great deity in heaven, and delivering children was merely her most insignificant duty. In fact, not to mention Lady Bixia, even the Golden Boy God beside her rarely cared about the trivial matters of the human world.

This kind of hard work is usually done by small gods scattered around.

Because most of the gods who give birth to children are more Buddhist and there are no KPI assessments, many minor gods are unwilling to take care of these matters.

On weekdays, being a mascot in the temple and using their own luck to slightly improve the local fertility rate is the limit for most minor gods.

These little gods are generally unwilling to run errands to send souls to reincarnation, or to protect women during childbirth.

After all, gods are not babysitters for humans.

Unless there is a major disaster, most gods will rarely interfere in human affairs.

But You Ming is different. He was a king of rolls in his previous life, and he is still a king of rolls in this life. He not only does everything by himself, but also gets things done at any cost.

In the three villages under his jurisdiction, more than fifty people have been reincarnated in the past six months... No, including the twelve souls he received a few days ago, the number of pregnant women and childbirths in his village is almost reaching seventy.

This number is so dazzling in this era.

"Just getting pregnant is not enough; the most important thing is to help women give birth smoothly."

After hearing the prayer, the little carp immediately jumped out of the pond. The surrounding mist automatically gathered around him, wrapped around his body, and carried him out into the world.

The sound of prayer came from Dadun Village, which was only ten miles away from Yuanling Mountain. With the help of water vapor, his speed was not slow.

It only took half an hour to reach the pregnant woman's home.

On the way here, You Ming had already learned all the information.

The one giving birth this time is Qin's daughter-in-law. She is just eighteen years old this year and it is her first child. She is one of the more troublesome mothers.

"The due date is early...but the fetus is in a normal position, and the umbilical cord isn't wrapped around the neck...there might be a problem with a narrow birth canal..."

He has already marked all the pregnant women in his jurisdiction. He has records of the general condition of each person's fetus and the expected date of delivery.

He took care of them as carefully as he would take care of flowers and plants.

If a situation like this happened in modern times, there would basically not be any major problems.

But he couldn't guarantee it in this era. After all, there were no special delivery rooms, and the skills of midwives varied greatly, so all kinds of situations could occur.

The Qin family's conditions were decent for the village, with two tiled houses. However, due to the local custom of "avoiding childbirth" and believing it was unlucky for a woman to give birth, the Qin family set up a temporary bed in the main hall of the main house, with a thick mattress and straw under the woman.

This made You Ming very helpless, the production environment was still too bad.

But this is already considered good. Some families will even build a "delivery room" outside the house. If the weather is too hot or too cold, the person may die before the baby is born.
