Ouyang Xuan proved with himself that there is no direct connection between cultivation and seasickness. Even a martial artist at the peak of his acquired skills will still get seasick when he should.
At the same time, I don’t know whether to call it unfortunate or lucky.
Ouyang Xuan was the only one among the 25,000 soldiers of the expeditionary force in three batches who was forced to be removed from the ship due to seasickness.
You know, the jolts of riding a boat are different from riding a horse.
When riding a horse, due to the movement of the horse, the person's body is bumped forward and backward; while on the warship, the person's body is bumped left and right due to the shaking caused by the sea, and even encounters small whirlpools, causing irregular movements.
Directional bumps are also normal.
As for those big whirlpools... it can only be said that no matter how strong the manufacturing level of feudal farming civilization is, there is a limit.
When a ship built with the shipbuilding skills of this world encounters a large whirlpool, the only thing left to do is pray.
But no matter what, the different bumps caused by the rocking of the warship are completely different from the feelings that Northern Xinjiang soldiers had when riding horses. It is a completely trusting experience, so it is already very good to be able to achieve this level.
It can even be described as unexpected.
But no matter what, Tangtang and his colleagues knew that apart from Di Xin, the person with the highest official position in the expeditionary force, there was no way Ouyang Xuan could continue to be seasick like this.
You can't make substitutions during a battle, right?
Substituting players before a battle is taboo, and Di Xin didn't want to be forced to start 007, so helping Ouyang Xuan improve his seasickness was put on the agenda.
The methods proposed by the instructors at Shui Laoguan were too time-consuming, so Di Xin decided to use his own method.
And before that...
Ouyang Xuan lay weakly on the bed, looking at His Royal Highness Prince Yu who came to visit his tent and Zeng Hongshen standing behind him, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl under.
A majestic martial arts cultivator at the peak of the day after tomorrow actually became seasick, even ordinary soldiers became sick.
But now he doesn't want to move a finger.
Different from the weaknesses he had experienced before, Ouyang Xuan could feel that his energy and blood were still in a full state, not that there was any loss.
But with such abundant energy and blood, Ouyang Xuan felt like he couldn't mobilize even a single bit.
From the time he boarded the fighting ship until now, Ouyang Xuan had only successfully mobilized his energy and blood once after he got seasick.
That was the first time he boarded the battleship. After the battleship started moving, he felt a sudden surge of dizziness, and instinctively mobilized his energy and blood in an attempt to trouble his body.
Then everyone knew what happened next.
With the successful mobilization of his own energy and blood, Ouyang Xuan spat it out with a loud sound.
Later, when he was on the ship, every time he wanted to mobilize his energy and blood to adjust his condition, he would spit it out before successfully mobilizing it.
Even when it turned into retching later, he never stopped.
And this was the main reason why he was sent ashore.
Even in the eyes of those Shui Lao Guan soldiers who have been dealing with water all year round, this is the first time they have seen Ouyang Xuan's symptoms of seasickness where he cannot even mobilize his energy and blood.
Even in their understanding, although it is not uncommon for people with advanced cultivation to become seasick, it can be described as rare in the world.
However, even those with advanced cultivation who are seasick will not continue to vomit without mobilizing their own energy and blood.
…
"The humble position brings shame to His Highness."
After the embarrassment was over, Ouyang Xuan said with a clear face.
Di Xin shook his head and said, "Everyone's body is different. I can't blame you."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Ouyang Xuan smiled bitterly and said feebly: "When I take a rest from my humble job and recover my body, I will definitely overcome the problem of seasickness."
Di Xin covered up the smile at the corner of his mouth and finally revealed the real purpose of his coming: "I am here this time to help you overcome this problem."
Ouyang Xuan's eyes lit up, and then he said a little sarcastically: "I dare not bother Your Highness."
Di Xin said nonchalantly: "No problem, I can help you overcome this problem so that I can continue to be a hands-off shopkeeper."
"ah?"
Ouyang Xuan was stunned.
"nothing!"
Di Xin said what he had just said very naturally, turned slightly and said, "Mr. Zeng, please."
Zeng Hongshen nodded slightly and said, "I am also more interested in His Highness's method."
As he spoke, he had already walked to the bedside and said to Ouyang Xuan: "Master Ouyang, circulate the qi and blood along the qi machine that has been transferred into your body."
After he finished speaking, Zeng Hongshen placed his fingers on Ouyang Xuan's wrist, and a ray of energy followed his fingers and entered Ouyang Xuan's body.
Ouyang Xuan did not dare to say anything and quickly began to circulate his energy and blood. With Zeng Hongshen's help, he did not feel any uncomfortable feelings this time.
There was no loss of Qi and blood to begin with. After functioning for two weeks, he recovered at that time.
"alright."
Seeing this, Zeng Hongshen retracted his finger.
Ouyang Xuan stood up from the bed and quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, sir."
Even without Zeng Hongshen's help, he would actually only need an hour or two to recover, but if he could recover in advance, no one would be willing to resist.
Zeng Hongshen nodded slightly and returned behind Di Xin.
Ouyang Xuan thanked him again: "Thank you, Your Highness."
"Let's go!"
Emperor Xin was the first to leave Ouyang Xuan's tent without commenting.
…
A quarter of an hour later.
Ouyang Xuan stood at the port, looking at the boat that could only carry twenty or thirty people at most, and looked at Di Xin in disbelief.
At this moment, there was only Zeng Hongshen on top of the boat.
Ouyang Xuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, is this what you think?"
"That's right."
Di Xin said with a smile: "I promise you that you will be able to overcome seasickness within three days."
But he probably won't be able to survive today.
A flash of struggle flashed in Ouyang Xuan's eyes, and finally he let out a deep breath.
He had already been convinced by King Yu, so although he had some doubts, he still decided to believe that His Highness King Yu's method would work.
Thinking like this, Ouyang Xuan showed a brave and righteous expression on his face, and jumped as if he was on the ground.
If Zeng Hongshen hadn't slapped him when he saw this, I'm afraid this stern boat would have capsized today.
After sitting firmly in the center of the cockpit, Ouyang Xuan was frightened, but he still said it bravely.
"Mr. Zeng, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, it's not hard."
Zeng Hongshen narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "I wonder if Mr. Ouyang is ready?"
"If you are ready, then I will start."
"Wait a minute..."
Ouyang Xuan hesitated for a moment, then said resignedly: "Ready."
"Master Ouyang, be careful."
After Zeng Hongshen finished speaking, he picked up the oar on the side and patted it gently toward the water.
The boat, which was parked peacefully at the temporary port, suddenly "flyed" out like a sharp arrow.
