Chapter 463 Aquatic

Elder Su quickly looked around.

Mo Hua then said: "Elder, don't worry, there is no one around, not even Shui Sheng..."

Elder Su breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Mo Hua and hesitated to speak. He couldn't figure out how Mo Hua knew about Narcissus.

Mo Hua did not tell Qinglan, but said vaguely:

"I overheard it from Baihua Tower."

Elder Su was startled, then nodded helplessly, and then he became a little lost in thought.

The name Narcissus seemed to hurt Elder Su's heart. He lost his easy-going expression before and became dazed, as if he was immersed in the past, feeling emotional and unable to extricate himself.

"Elder Su?"

Mo Hua called him.

Elder Su did not respond.

"Elder Su!"

Mo Hua's voice was a little louder, and Elder Su finally came back to his senses, with an apology on his face, "Sorry, I got a little lost in thought thinking about the past."

Mo Hua hesitated and asked after consideration:

"Can you tell me your past stories?"

Elder Su looked at Mo Hua doubtfully, "What...are you hearing this for?"

Mo Hua said: "Curious."

Elder Su immediately shook his head.

How could I tell a child about my own love history, and it was a sad love history that I could not bear to look back on...

Mo Hua said, "I'm useful."

"What's the use?"

"Can't say yet."

Elder Su then said perfunctorily: "It's all just old sesame and rotten millet. It's not convenient for me to talk about it."

Mo Hua thought for a while and said:

"Well, just tell me and I owe you a favor."

Elder Su laughed, "I want you to have a child as a favor, so that you can have..."

Before Elder Su could finish speaking, he was suddenly stunned.

This favor can be of great use!

A favor personally promised by a thirteen or fourteen-year-old First-Rank Formation Master!

Moreover, Mo Hua looked serious and had no intention of joking.

Although everyone is a first-grade formation master, Mo Hua is only refining Qi, but he is already building a foundation.

But precisely because he is Qi Refiner, this favor is even more precious.

The first level of Qi refining, after ten or twenty years, maybe it will be the second level?

Second-grade formation masters are really rare in the second-grade states.

Even if he reaches the third-level state boundary, he is not considered a nobody.

Elder Su thought for a moment and hesitated.

Mo Hua said: "It's really a favor, I keep my word!"

Elder Su was moved, and pretended to be reserved for a while before nodding and saying:

"good."

Although it is a past that cannot be looked back on, it is still a romantic affair, but it is not an ulterior secret.

Elder Su took a sip of tea and then slowly spoke, telling Mo Hua everything about Narcissus.

Including how he met and fell in love with Narcissus, how he wanted to redeem himself for Narcissus, and finally how Narcissus died and left behind a child. He took him with him and named him "Shui Sheng"...

Of course, some content not suitable for children has been omitted.

After Elder Su finished speaking, he felt a little thirsty and took another sip of tea.

After hearing this, Mo Hua was surprised and said:

"Are you visiting the brothel with the head of the Lu family?"

"Shh!" Elder Su looked around again and whispered:

"Yes, but that is an old story. Now he is the head of the family. Don't talk nonsense about this matter, otherwise it will ruin his reputation."

"Oh." Mo Hua nodded, cursing in his heart:

No wonder Elder Su and the head of the Lu family have such a good relationship.

It turns out that when we were young, we went to a brothel together.

Mo Hua paused for a moment, then asked sympathetically:

"Sister Narcissus, how did you die?"

Elder Su's expression became lonely and he shook his head:

"Beautiful beauty must have a bad life. She was not in good health to begin with. She suffered at Baihualou and got the root cause of her illness. Then she came to follow me. I asked the alchemist to treat her, but they only treated the symptoms but not the root cause..."

"During that time, you also blamed me..."

"I said I wanted to redeem her, but I was hesitant."

"I... am, after all, an elder of Nanyue Sect and an formation master. No matter how high my status is, I can be considered a prominent figure in Nanyue City."

"In Nanyue City, even families or sects in other states have proposed marriage to me."

"The people we are planning to marry are all talented and beautiful, have decent backgrounds, and have good spiritual roots. The children they will have in the future will also have good talents."

"Compared to that, Narcissus is just..."

Elder Su smiled bitterly, "Narcissus may have guessed my thoughts, so he deliberately distanced himself from me, as if he didn't want to drag me down."

"But she must be resenting me in her heart. Whether she hates me or not, I don't know..."

Elder Su sighed.

"Under sorrow and resentment, old illnesses relapse, and people die..."

"I was very angry at the time and thought Narcissus must have been murdered, so I searched for a long time, but in the end nothing was found."

"Later I figured it out, Narcissus...actually died in my hands."

"I was afraid of blaming myself, afraid of regret, and afraid of feeling guilty, so I shirked my responsibility."

"I hope someone kills Narcissus, so that I can hate others, avenge Narcissus, and feel less guilty..."

"but no……"

"Her life is like duckweed, she wants to rest on me."

"But I was disappointed, so she dispersed with the wind..."

Elder Su's face showed deep bitterness.

Mo Hua also felt a little sad and asked again:

"Have you never married a Taoist companion in these years?"

He came to this cave many times. In this cave, there were no other female cultivators except one or two maids who boiled water and made tea. ‘6’‘9’‘s’‘h’‘u’‘x’‘.’‘c’‘o’‘m’

Elder Su shook his head and said helplessly:

“These years, I also wanted to marry a Taoist partner and forgot about Narcissus.”

“But people are so cheap…”

“I can’t forget it…”

“It’s okay if I don’t think about my Taoist partner. When I think about my Taoist partner, Narcissus’s shadow is all in my heart.”

“Later, I figured it out and it didn’t matter. I gave her my heart in this life. I owed her. Now that she died, I let her go with this heart…”

Mo Hua didn’t expect that Elder Su, who used to linger in brothels, would have such a sad and melancholy past.

He didn’t expect that Elder Su was still an infatuated person.

Really… You can’t judge a person by appearance.

Mo Hua patted Elder Su’s shoulder, but didn’t say anything, giving him silent comfort.

Elder Su was patted on the shoulder by Mo Hua, and suddenly he was shocked.

No!

Why did he say everything?

Although he wanted to tell Mo Hua about the past, he didn't think of telling all these sorrows and sorrows.

He planned to keep these thoughts to himself.

Elder Su looked at Mo Hua again, and his heart sank.

This child looks too deceptive.

With an innocent face, kind and cute, people can't help but want to tell the truth.

Unconsciously, he confessed his heart...

But now that he has said it, what can he do?

Elder Su can only be thick-skinned and pretend that nothing happened.

Seeing that Elder Su had calmed down, Mo Hua asked again:

"So Shuisheng is the child of you and Narcissus?"

Elder Su was startled and nodded helplessly: "Yes."

"After Narcissus died, I took this child with me as my personal disciple, thinking that with me watching over him, this child would be safe and sound, learn some formations, and have academic success in the future, and his mother's spirit in heaven would also be pleased..."

"When she was pregnant with him, his mother hoped that he could be a formation master like me and stand out..."

Elder Su was a little angry again when he said this.

"But this child, except that he looks a bit like me, is not like me at all. He has no talent for formations, is unwilling to work hard, is clumsy in doing things, and is not as gentle as his mother..."

Elder Su listed a lot of problems, and suddenly fell silent again. After a long time, he said with regret:

"But the expression of his eyebrows and eyes is very similar to his mother..."

Mo Hua also sighed when he heard this.

People often learn to cherish after losing something.

Especially feelings.

For a moment, both Elder Su and Mo Hua looked a little lonely.

Elder Su was sighing because of the past.

Mo Hua was young and had no love history, so she was just complaining without any reason...

Shuisheng walked in and saw that the atmosphere was a little dull, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.

After a moment, he whispered: "Master, the head of the Lu family is here."

"Head of the Lu family?"

Elder Su was startled, and hurriedly looked at Mo Hua and whispered:

"Don't tell anyone what I just told you."

Mo Hua was stunned, "What is it?"

"It's..."

Elder Su gestured to himself, then pointed outward and gestured to the head of the Lu family.

Mo Hua understood that it was about the two of them visiting a brothel together.

"Don't worry, I won't tell!" Mo Hua promised.

Elder Su was relieved.

After a while, Lu Chengyun came in, saluted Elder Su, and then greeted Mo Hua politely.

Mo Hua was not surprised that Lu Chengyun came.

When Elder Su invited him to drink tea, Lu Chengyun would occasionally visit.

They had met each other several times and were not strangers.

They drank tea together and talked about some formations, and then talked about the affairs of Nanyue Sect and Lu Family.

Drinking tea is fine, and talking about formations is also fine.

But it was not convenient for Mo Hua to listen to the internal affairs of these sects and families.

Although he wanted to listen, there might be clues about the traitors of Xiaolingyin Sect.

But some basic etiquette still had to be followed.

Mo Hua stood up and said:

"Master Lu, Elder Su, you guys chat, I'll go for a walk in the garden."

Elder Su said: "Young master, please do as you please."

Mo Hua often came here and was already very familiar with him, so he was not polite.

But Mo Hua was not just strolling around for fun.

Seeing that Elder Su and Master Lu were talking intently, he secretly found Elder Su and Narcissus's illegitimate son, that is, his disciple named "Shuisheng".

Shuisheng was reading a book at a small table beside the small bridge in the garden.

Shuisheng was older and taller than Mohua.

Mohua quietly walked up to him and asked:

"What are you reading?"

Shuisheng was startled and quickly put the book away. He was about to get angry, but when he saw Mohua, he bowed respectfully and said:

"Young master."

Although Mohua was young, he was a guest of Elder Su and was on equal terms with Elder Su.

Shuisheng naturally did not dare to offend.

Mohua sat next to him and patted his stool, saying:

"Sit down."

Shuisheng did not dare to sit.

Mohua glanced at him.

Shuisheng sat down awkwardly.

When he sat down, Mohua glanced and saw the book in his hand.

It was a book explaining the basic array patterns of the five elements.

Mohua was a little surprised. According to Elder Su, his disciple should not be very diligent and did not learn the array well.

But now it seems that something is different.

Mo Hua asked: "Is there anything you don't understand about this book?"

Shuisheng was slightly startled and mumbled a few times:

"I'm not very good at drawing..."

He opened the book and pointed at some of the gold formation patterns.

Mo Hua took a look and saw that it was a very basic formation pattern.

So I started to explain to him how to draw these formation patterns, how to use pens, how to use ink, what the layout is, how to mobilize spiritual consciousness, and what to do if spiritual consciousness is not enough...

Shuisheng couldn't help but open his mouth as he listened, and looked at Mo Hua with eyes full of admiration.

These questions had troubled him for a long time, and he couldn't figure them out, but he didn't expect that Mo Hua could explain them so thoroughly in just a few sentences, which made him suddenly enlightened.

In Mo Hua's heart, there was no fluctuation.

This is already the basic formation of the Five Elements.

It's a very simple formation.

Mo Hua was a little confused, "These things, you..."

Mo Hua originally wanted to say "your dad", but when the words came to his lips, he changed his words:

"...Master, didn't I tell you?"

Shui Sheng shook his head, "Master didn't say anything. He thought these were too simple and something he could just think about. When I asked him, he looked at me very disappointed, as if I had failed to live up to his expectations... "

"As time went by, I stopped asking him. I just watched and learned by myself. I could learn as much as I could. If I couldn't, forget about it..."

Mo Hua shook his head.

How can we learn the formation like this?

Elder Su probably expected too much from his only son.

Once expectations are not met, you will be disappointed.

But people are different.

Everyone learns formations under different conditions and must do so step by step. You cannot criticize others for your own excessive expectations or disappointment.

Formation is inherently difficult, and Elder Su loves his son so much that his excessive expectations will make Shui Sheng at a loss.

Mo Hua sighed, thinking that drinking Elder Su's tea could be regarded as a favor, so he taught Shui Sheng for a while.

After a while, Shui Sheng admired and felt grateful for the ink painting.

He is young, has high attainments in formations, is honest with others, has no airs, and is willing to teach himself.

I don’t know how much better he is than his master...

Shuisheng complained silently in his heart.

The two also became familiar with each other.

Mo Hua thought for a while and suddenly asked:

"Shui Sheng, do you know your mother?"

Shuisheng was startled, lowered his head, and nodded.

"Then do you know your father?"

Shui Sheng glanced at Mo Hua in surprise, and then nodded slowly.

Mo Hua's heart moved slightly.

It seems that this child born in water knows everything...
