Chapter 105: Body Movement (3rd Update)

"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 find out, 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, so he can avoid it.

"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 dedicated to 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 Mo Hua a meridians diagram.

"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. No, even magic is not completely separated from the physical body. It’s just that for spiritual cultivation, magic is too important, and physical cultivation seems dispensable in comparison.”

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 likely 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, and his spiritual consciousness is powerful, 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 the movement skills, and to practice them secretly by himself, and then accepted Mo Hua's offer of several bottles 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 more when you have time." Liu Ruhua said in a gentle voice.

"Yes." Mo Hua nodded.

Then Mo Hua began to practice the Water Step.

Mo Hua found a corner in the yard and tried to control his hands and feet with spiritual power and move them simply.

This is the simplest and the basis for all body movements after the Water Step.

At first, there was discomfort in practice, and he would fall down if he lost balance occasionally. However, after practicing a few more times and becoming familiar with the meridians of the body pulled by spiritual power, his movements gradually became smoother.

So in the corner of the backyard, you can see light blue spiritual power wrapped around Mo Hua's legs, like water and fog. Even if his feet do not move, his body can gradually move forward or backward.

Mo Hua tried a few more times and felt like sliding on the ice in the severe winter, which was very interesting.

After that, Mo Hua tried several difficult body movements, such as front flip, back flip, head flip and back flip, and as expected, he fell a few more times...

Mo Hua summed up the reasons and found that his body was too weak, his strength was not great, and his movements were not agile enough.

Mo Hua took out the body training techniques given by Zhang Lan.

These body training techniques are very simple, only containing some basic movements. Unlike the body training of physical cultivation, they are not for strength, but for the flexibility and coordination of limbs.

The little man in the picture moves naturally and lightly, like flowing water.

Mo Hua suddenly realized that it was no wonder it was called the Flowing Water Step.

Mo Hua followed the movements in the picture and practiced them one by one.

At first, his limbs would feel sore and painful that he couldn't get out of bed. After Mo Hua persisted in practicing for a few days, the soreness disappeared, and his qi and blood became smoother. Although his physical strength was still weak, he walked, stepped, sat, and lay down lightly and smoothly, 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 Flowing Water Step.
