Chapter 105: Body Movements (Part 3)

"Our Zhang family is a legitimate family with a strict family tradition. How could we kill people at will? Although the Water Step is a unique skill, it is not the kind that is absolutely forbidden to be passed on. I will teach you secretly and you will learn secretly. Nothing will happen. If someone finds out, just say that I taught you and put all the responsibility on me..." Zhang Lan said rather heroically.

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

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

If the Zhang family doesn't make things difficult for 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 put in solitary confinement for several months. Although he is used to it, solitary confinement and kneeling in the ancestral hall are not glorious things after all, so he should avoid it if possible.

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

"I said a kind uncle who passed by taught me. If you ask for my name, I don't know. If you ask for my appearance, I have forgotten it long ago." Mo Hua said.

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

Zhang Lan had no worries at all and said, "I will teach you the Water Step now. You can practice it more when you have time."

"Water Step is a physical skill for spiritual practice. It uses spiritual power to pull the body to achieve the effect of advancing and retreating freely in a small space."

"The key to physical skills is to control spiritual power extremely finely with spiritual consciousness, so that the spiritual power can flow to the corresponding meridians and then pull the body. Then, you can quickly turn around in a short distance and avoid the enemy's swords in a millimeter."

Zhang Lan told Mo Hua the key to practicing physical skills and handed Mo Hua a meridian map.

"This meridian map records the paths and specific acupuncture points of the spiritual power flowing through the meridians under different movements of the Water Step. Take it back and read it more. Remember it firmly in your mind. Burn it after remembering it, and don't leave any traces."

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

"Isn't it a spell? Do you also need to refine the body?"

Mo Hua is not confident in his talent for body refining.

Zhang Lan corrected Mo Hua's cognition: "Spiritual cultivation refers to cultivators who rely on spiritual power to drive spells to attack, not cultivators who only cultivate spiritual power. The physical body and spiritual power are the foundation of cultivators. Neither of them can be missing. Even magic is not completely separated from the body. It's just that for spiritual cultivation, magic is too important. In comparison, physical cultivation seems dispensable. "

After Zhang Lan finished speaking, he comforted Mo Hua:

"You don't have to worry. The body-building technique attached to the Water-Passing Step is not for cultivating physical strength, but a method of body-building that makes the limbs flexible and the body coordinated."

"The Water-Passing Step uses spiritual power to pull the body. If the body is out of balance and the legs and feet are stiff, it is very likely that the steps will not be performed, and the muscles and bones will be bruised by the spiritual power..."

...

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

"Try it now and see how much you have understood."

Mo Hua mobilized his spiritual power and operated according to the key points recorded in the Water-Passing Step meridian map. As expected, he found that his hands and feet were light and his movements were much faster.

Mo Hua is a formation master, with a strong spiritual consciousness, and stronger than ordinary formation masters. In addition, he has practiced the Tianyan Jue, and his spiritual consciousness control is also strong, so the spiritual power of the Water Step is not blocked at all.

This body movement is simpler than Mo Hua imagined.

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

and he fell to the ground headfirst.

Mo Hua raised his head, wiped the mud off his face, and said in a muffled voice with dirt in his mouth: "This doesn't seem to be that simple..."

Zhang Lan saw it and said in his heart, that's right, it's okay to learn formations quickly, but it's impossible to learn spells that fast.

Mo Hua tried several more times, but still failed. Either the spiritual power of his hands and feet was not coordinated, and his feet slipped, or he fell to the ground with his hands and feet at the same time.

Zhang Lan looked at Mo Hua, who was covered in dust and had a normal expression. He was secretly happy and said to himself, "You know how difficult it is to learn magic..."

Zhang Lan mainly studied other body techniques, and he was not very proficient in using the Water Passing Step. The main reason was that this body technique was not outstanding in both offense and defense among the Zhang family's unique skills. The body technique was not sharp enough for offense, and it was too difficult to control spiritual power for defense. Therefore, there were not many cultivators in the Zhang family who specialized in the Water Passing Step.

That was why he dared to teach it to Mo Hua secretly.

If it was a mainstream footwork like the Falling Flower Step, everyone in the family would learn it. Once it was used, everyone would be able to identify the origin of the body technique, and he would be in big trouble.

The Water Passing Step was just right. It was a good body technique and low-key enough. It was not easy to be recognized if it was not learned much, so it was okay to use it secretly.

Mo Hua, who had practiced the Water Passing Step for a long time, fell to the ground again.

Zhang Lan picked up Mo Hua, brushed off the dust on him, and then said: "Okay, go back and practice well. Learning magic is similar to learning formations. Practice makes perfect. If it doesn't work once, practice a few more times."

"Oh." Mo Hua nodded.

Zhang Lan sent Mo Hua back to the restaurant, and then told Mo Hua a few words, asking him not to tell anyone that he taught him the body movement, and to practice it secretly. Then he accepted Mo Hua's "bribe" of several pots of wine and a few pounds of meat with peace of mind, and left with satisfaction.

Liu Ruhua took out a cloth towel, dipped it in water, and wiped Mo Hua's face while saying, "Did Zhang Diansi teach you something?"

"Uncle Zhang won't let me tell you." Mo Hua smiled.

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

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded.

After that, 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 it is also the basis for all body movement movements after the Water Step.

At first, there will be discomfort when practicing, and you will fall down if you lose balance occasionally. However, after practicing a few more times and becoming familiar with the meridians of the body pulled by spiritual power, the movements gradually become smoother.

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

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

After that, Mo Hua tried a few more difficult body movements, such as front flip, back flip, head flip and back flip, etc. 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 technique 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 drawn on the picture, every move is natural and light, like flowing water.

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

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

At first, my limbs felt sore that I couldn't get out of bed. After a few days of practice, the pain disappeared and my blood flowed more smoothly. Although my physical strength was still weak, I could walk, sit, and lie down lightly and smoothly, as natural and elegant as water.

Mo Hua felt that the time was right, so he began to formally practice the more difficult body movements in the Shi Shui Bu.
