Asking about longevity

"Our Zhang family is a serious family with a strict family tradition. How can we be silenced at every turn? Although the passing water step is a unique skill, it is not absolutely forbidden to be taught to outsiders. I will teach you secretly and you will learn secretly. Nothing will happen. Wan. Once people find out, just say it was me who taught you and pass all the responsibilities on to me..." Zhang Lan said quite boldly.

"Since you won't do anything to me, why should I leave it to you? Just say that I learned it by chance, right?" Mo Hua blinked and whispered.

Zhang Lan frowned and said, "What you said seems to make sense..."

If the Zhang family doesn't embarrass Mo Hua, then why should he jump out and take responsibility?

If this matter is exposed and the elders of the clan know about it, he will be imprisoned for several months. Although he is used to it, being imprisoned and kneeling in the ancestral hall is not a glorious thing after all. He can avoid it if he can.

"Then you have to find an excuse." Zhang Lan said.

"I just said it was taught to me by a kind-hearted uncle who passed by. He asked me his name, but he didn't know it. He asked his face, but he had forgotten it a long time ago." Mo Hua said.

"Okay, anyway, that kind uncle is not me."

Zhang Lan no longer had any worries in his heart, and said: "I will teach you the passing water step now. You can practice more when you have time."

"The passing water step is a body technique specially used for spiritual cultivation. It uses spiritual power to pull the physical body to achieve the effect of advancing and retreating freely within a square inch."

"The key point of the body technique is to use spiritual consciousness to control the spiritual power in an extremely subtle way, so that the spiritual power can flow to the corresponding meridians, and then pull the physical body, so that you can quickly dodge within a short distance and avoid the enemy's sword within a few millimeters.

Zhang Lan told Mo Hua the key points of body training and handed a meridians diagram to Mo Hua.

"This meridian map records the sequential paths and specific acupuncture points of the spiritual power operating in the meridians under different movements of the passing water step. Take it back, look at it more, keep it in your mind, and burn it if you remember it. Leave no trace."

"Behind the meridian diagram, there is also a simple body refining technique..."

"Isn't it a magic spell? It also requires body training?"

Mo Hua is not confident in his body training talent.

Zhang Lan corrected his understanding for Mo Hua: "Spiritual cultivation refers to monks who rely on spiritual power to activate spells to attack, rather than monks who only practice spiritual power. The physical body and spiritual power are both the foundation of a monk. For one thing, even spells are not completely separated from the physical body. It’s just that for spiritual practice, spells are too important, and in comparison, the practice of the physical body seems dispensable."

After Zhang Lan finished speaking, he comforted Mo Hua and said:

"You don't have to worry. The body-refining technique attached to the passing water step is not to cultivate the physical strength, but to make the limbs flexible and the body to be coordinated."

"The passing water step uses spiritual power to pull the physical body. If the physical body is out of balance and the legs and feet are stiff, it is possible that the footwork is not used properly, but the spiritual power pulls the body and bruises the muscles and bones..."

…

Zhang Lan spoke carefully and Mo Hua listened carefully. After a while, Zhang Lan finished teaching and then said:

"You try it now and see how much you understand.

The ink painting mobilized spiritual power and moved according to the key points recorded in the passing water step meridian diagram. As expected, I found that my hands and feet were light and my movements were much faster.

Mo Hua is an formation master with powerful spiritual consciousness, and it is stronger than ordinary formation masters. In addition, he practices Tianyan Jue and has strong control of his spiritual consciousness, so the spiritual power of the passing water step is not hindered at all.

This movement technique is simpler than Mo Hua imagined.

Mo Hua tried to take a step forward with the passing water step, but the spiritual power of his right leg was running too fast, and his left leg was a little slower, and his foot slipped...

Then he fell to the ground.

Mo Hua raised his head, wiped the mud from his face, and said with dirt still in his mouth: "This doesn't seem that simple..."

Zhang Lan saw it and said to himself, this is right. It's okay to learn formations quickly. It's impossible to learn spells that quickly.

Mo Hua tried a few more times, but still failed. Either the spiritual power of his hands and feet were not coordinated, the soles of his feet slipped, or he fell to the ground with the same hands and feet.

Zhang Lan looked at the gray-faced ink painting, his face as usual, and he was secretly happy, saying secretly: "You know how difficult it is to learn magic..."

Zhang Lan majored in other movement techniques, and he was not very proficient in using the Flowing Water Step. The main reason was that this movement technique was not outstanding in offense or defense among the Zhang family's secret arts. The movement technique was not strong enough in attack. It is too difficult to control the spiritual power of the code, so there are not many monks in the Zhang family who specialize in the passing water step.

It was also because of this that he dared to teach Mo painting secretly.

If a footwork like the Luohua Step is the mainstream in the family, and everyone in the clan learns it, and once everyone uses it, everyone can identify the origin of the movement, then he will be in big trouble.

The passing water step is just right. It has good movement skills and is low-key enough. I haven't learned much and it's not easy to be recognized. It doesn't matter if I use it secretly.

After practicing the ink painting for a long time, he fell to the ground again.

Zhang Lan picked up the ink painting, dusted it off, and then said: "Okay, go back and practice by yourself. Learning spells is similar to learning formations. Practice makes perfect. If it doesn't work once, just practice it a few times. .”

"Oh." Mo Hua nodded.

Zhang Lan sent Mo Hua back to the restaurant, and then gave Mo Hua a few words, telling him not to tell anyone that he taught him the movement skills, and to practice them secretly by himself, and then accepted Mo Hua's offer of several jugs of wine and several kilograms of meat with peace of mind. After paying the bribe, he left happily.

Liu Ruhua took out a cloth and dipped it in water. While wiping Mo Hua's face, he said, "Did Zhang Diansi teach you something?"

"Uncle Zhang didn't let me say it." Mo Hua said with a smile.

"Okay, then you should study hard and thank Zhang Diansi when you have time." Liu Ruhua said warmly.

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded.

After that, Mo Hua began to practice the passing water step.

Mo Hua found a corner in the yard and first tried to use his spiritual power to control his limbs and move them simply.

This is the simplest and the basis for all body movements after the passing water step.

There will be some discomfort during the practice at first, and occasionally you will fall if you are out of balance. However, after practicing a few more times, and becoming familiar with the meridians that the spiritual power pulls the physical body, the movements gradually become smoother.

So in the corner of the backyard, you can see the light blue spiritual power wrapping around Mo Hua's legs, like water and mist. Even if he doesn't move, his body can gradually move forward or backward.

I tried ink painting a few more times, and it felt like skating on the ice in the cold winter, which was very interesting.

After that, Mo Hua tried several more difficult body movements, such as front somersaults, back somersaults, cartwheels, and back handsprings. As expected, he fell a few more times...

Mo Hua summarized the reason and found that his body was too weak, his strength was not strong, and his movements were not agile enough.

Mo Hua took out the body refining technique given by Zhang Lan.

These physical training techniques are very simple and only include some basic movements. They are different from physical training in that they are not about strength, but the flexibility and coordination of the limbs.

Every move of the little man painted in the picture is natural and light, like flowing water.

The ink painting suddenly realized, no wonder it is called the passing water step.

Mo Hua followed the movements on the picture and practiced one by one.

At first, my limbs would feel sore and the pain would be so painful that I couldn't get out of bed. After practicing Mo Hua for a few days, the soreness disappeared and Qi and blood became smoother. Although my physical strength was still weak, I could walk, sit and lie with lightness and smoothness, as natural and elegant as water.

Mo Hua felt that the time was ripe, so he began to formally practice the more difficult body movements in the passing water step.
