Chapter 463 Aquatic

Elder Su looked around quickly.

Mo Hua said, "Don't worry, elder. There's no one around. Shuisheng is not here either..."

Elder Su was relieved. He looked at Mo Hua, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He couldn't figure out how Mo Hua knew about Narcissus.

Mo Hua didn't mention Qinglan, but said vaguely:

"I heard it accidentally from Baihua Tower."

Elder Su was startled, and then he nodded helplessly, and then he was a little absent-minded again.

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

"Elder Su?"

Mo Hua called him.

Elder Su didn't respond.

"Elder Su!"

Mo Hua's voice was a little louder, and Elder Su came back to his senses, with an apologetic look on his face, "Sorry, I was lost in the past."

Mo Hua hesitated and asked carefully:

"Can you tell me about your past?"

Elder Su looked at Mo Hua in confusion, "Why... do you want to listen to this?"

Mo Hua said: "Curious."

Elder Su shook his head immediately.

How can I tell a child about my love history, and a sad love history that I can't bear to look back on...

Mo Hua said: "I have a use."

"What use?"

"I can't say it yet."

Elder Su also perfunctorily said: "They are all old things, and I can't say them."

Mo Hua thought for a while and said:

"How about this, you tell me, I owe you a favor."

Elder Su laughed, "I want a favor from your child, can it be..."

Elder Su didn't finish his words, and suddenly froze.

This favor can be very useful!

A 13- or 14-year-old first-grade array master personally promised a favor!

And Mo Hua looked serious, not joking.

Although they were all first-grade array masters, Mo Hua was only in Qi Refining, while he had already established his foundation.

But precisely because he was in Qi Refining, this favor was more precious.

Qi Refining first-grade, after 10 or 20 years, maybe it would be second-grade?

Second-grade array masters are really rare in the second-grade state.

Even in the third-grade state, they are not small figures.

Elder Su pondered 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, then nodded:

"Okay."

Although it was a past that was unbearable to look back on, and it was also a romantic affair, it was not a secret that could not be told.

Elder Su drank a sip of tea, then slowly opened his mouth and told Mo Hua everything about Narcissus.

Including how he met Narcissus, how they fell in love, how he wanted to redeem Narcissus, how Narcissus died in the end, leaving behind a child, and he took him with him and named him "Shuisheng"...

Of course, some content that is not suitable for children was omitted.

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

After listening, Mo Hua was surprised:

"Did you go to the brothel with Master Lu?"

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

"Yes, but that was a long time ago. Now he is the master of the family. Don't talk nonsense about this matter, otherwise it will ruin his reputation."

"Oh." Mo Hua nodded, and complained in his heart:

No wonder Elder Su and Master Lu have such a good relationship.

It turns out that when they were young, they went to brothels together.

Mo Hua paused, then asked with some sympathy:

"Sister Shuixian, how did she die?"

Elder Su looked sad and shook his head:

"Beauty is doomed to fail. She was not in good health to begin with, and suffered in Baihua Tower, which left her with a chronic illness. Later, she followed me. I asked the alchemist to treat her, but it was only a temporary solution..."

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

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

"I... after all, I am an elder of Nanyue Sect and a formation master. I don't say my status is very high, but in this Nanyue City, I have no right to be a master. , and is also a well-known figure.

"This Nanyue City, even the families or sects in other states, have proposed marriages to me."

"The candidates are all talented and beautiful, with a decent family background, excellent spiritual roots, and their future children will also have good talents."

"Compared with them, Narcissus..."

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

"But she must have resented me in her heart, and I don't know whether she hated me or not..."

Elder Su sighed.

"Under the sorrow and resentment, the old illness relapsed, and the person was gone..."

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

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

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

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

"But no..."

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

"But I broke my promise, so she was gone with the wind..."

There was a strong bitterness on Elder Su's face.

Mo Hua felt a little sad when he heard this, and asked again:

"Have you not married a Taoist partner in these years?"

He has been to this cave many times. In this cave, there are no other female cultivators except one or two maids who boil water and make tea.

Elder Su shook his head and said helplessly:

"These years, I also want to marry a Taoist partner and forget 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 owe her. Now that she's dead, I'll let her go..."

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 his 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 saying all these sorrows and sorrows.

He intended to keep these thoughts to himself.

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

This child looked too deceptive.

His innocent face, kind and cute, made people want to tell the truth.

He unknowingly poured out his heart...

But now that he had said it, what could he do?

Elder Su could only be thick-skinned and pretend that nothing had 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. His mother's spirit in heaven would also be pleased..."

"When she was pregnant with him, his mother hoped that he could become 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 nothing like me. 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 things only after they lose them.

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. He suddenly 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, bowed to 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, 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 is 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 needs to be explained.

Mo Hua stood up and said:

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

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

Mo Hua often comes here, and they are already very familiar with each other, so he is not polite.

But Mo Hua is not just strolling around for fun.

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

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

Shuisheng was older and taller than Mo Hua.

Mo Hua 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 that it was Mo Hua, he bowed respectfully and said:

"Young Master."

Although Mo Hua was young, he was Elder Su's guest of honor and was on equal terms with Elder Su.

Shuisheng naturally did not dare to offend.

Mo Hua sat next to him and patted his stool, saying:

"Sit down."

Shuisheng did not dare to sit.

Mo Hua glanced at him.

Shuisheng sat down awkwardly.

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

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

Mo Hua 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 a little different.

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

Shui Sheng was slightly startled and stammered a few times:

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

He spread the book open and pointed to a few gold array patterns.

Mo Hua took a look and found that they were very basic array patterns.

So he began to explain to him how to draw these array patterns, how to use the pen, how to use ink, what the layout is, how to mobilize the spiritual consciousness, and what to do if the spiritual consciousness is not enough...

Shui Sheng listened and opened his mouth wide, and then looked at Mo Hua with admiration.

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

Mo Hua's heart was not shaken at all.

This is already the basic array of the five elements.

It is a very simple formation.

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

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

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

Shui Sheng shook his head, "Master didn't say, he thought these were too simple, something that could be learned as soon as he thought about it, I asked him, he looked at me very disappointed, as if I had failed his expectations..."

"Over time, I stopped asking him, I watched and learned by myself, I learned as much as I could, and if I couldn't, forget it..."

Mo Hua shook his head.

How can formations be learned like this?

Elder Su should have too high expectations for his only son.

Once it doesn't meet expectations, he will be disappointed.

But people are different.

Anyone who learns formations has different conditions, and they must proceed step by step. They cannot blame others because of their own excessive expectations or disappointments.

Formations are difficult in themselves, and Elder Su loves his son so much, and his excessive expectations will make Shui Sheng at a loss.

Mo Hua sighed, thinking that drinking Elder Su's tea was a favor, so he taught Shuisheng for a while.

After a while, Shuisheng admired and appreciated Mo Hua.

He was young, had a high level of formation skills, was honest, had no airs, and was willing to teach him.

He was much better than his master...

Shuisheng complained silently in his heart.

The two of them became familiar with each other.

Mo Hua thought for a while, and suddenly asked:

"Shuisheng, do you know your mother?"

Shuisheng was startled, lowered his head, and nodded.

"Then do you know your father?"

Shuisheng looked at Mo Hua in surprise, and then nodded slowly.

Mo Hua's heart moved slightly.

It seems that Shuisheng, this child, knows everything...
