Chapter 124: Discussion (Part 2)
Mo Shan was slightly startled.
"I also want to accompany Hua'er, watch him marry and have children, and have a large house full of grandchildren..." Liu Ruhua's eyes were full of longing, "But who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
Mo Shan comforted his wife, "Don't worry."
Liu Ruhua shook her head, "I'm not worried. I know you're worried that Hua'er will be in danger, but how can a cultivator not be in danger in his life?"
Mo Shan thought about it and nodded.
Even if a cultivator's life is smooth, it is inevitable to have several twists and turns and encounter several dangerous situations. What's more, these casual cultivators who have already had a rough life are fighting for their lives.
Liu Ruhua continued: "As the saying goes, parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. We are just Qi-refining cultivators. We can't keep him out of danger, so we can only let him learn to face danger."
Mo Shan was silent. He stroked his wife's long hair with a relieved look on his face.
"You are right. Cultivating Taoism is a long process. We cannot take care of him for his whole life. We can only teach him to take care of himself."
In the evening of the next day, Mo Shan called Mo Hua to the courtyard and said:
"How is your body movement?"
Mo Hua thought his father was going to blame him. He was stunned and said:
"I have learned almost everything."
Mo Shan nodded, "I will try it."
Mo Hua's eyes lit up, "Okay!"
He also wanted to know whether his father, who was in the late stage of Qi Refining, could break his Water Step.
Mo Hua walked ten feet away, turned around and stood still, looking at Mo Shan with a slightly fixed gaze, and said:
"Dad, I'm ready."
"Okay, you pay attention."
As soon as Mo Shan finished speaking, his body left a residual shadow and rushed over.
So fast!
Mo Hua was startled, released his consciousness, urged his spiritual power, and floated backwards.
Mo Hua retreated halfway, and his father's figure disappeared from his sight. Suddenly, he felt a faint sense of oppression behind him. He was startled, turned his body slightly, and floated to the left again.
Mo Shan, who appeared behind Mo Hua at some point, grabbed nothing. He was slightly surprised, turned around, and continued to reach out to Mo Hua with his right hand.
Mo Hua looked solemn.
Mo Shan's speed was too fast, and he had been fighting monsters for many years, so he was experienced. His figure was sometimes real and sometimes not. Mo Hua could hardly sense Mo Shan's figure in his consciousness.
And when he sensed it, Mo Shan was often already beside him.
Mo Shan's consciousness was not much stronger than Mo Hua's. Mo Hua could not sense it purely because Mo Shan's figure was too fast, and his behavior was decisive and deceptive, so Mo Hua had no way to judge.
Mo Hua could not help but sigh that his combat experience was still far behind.
The two fought for several more rounds. Mo Hua dodged awkwardly, and was in a dilemma, but he was still barely holding on.
After several rounds of chasing, Mo Shan's figure in Mo Hua's consciousness finally became clearer and easier to identify.
Mo Hua's dodging gradually became methodical.
Mo Shan would attack from the east and attack from the west, and attack the enemy by surprise. Mo Hua also learned to combine the real and the fake, and take the enemy by surprise.
The more they fought, the calmer Mo Hua's body movements became.
Just when Mo Hua's body movements were getting better and better, he was suddenly grabbed by Mo Shan without a trace, and lifted up by the collar.
Mo Hua was dumbfounded, "Dad, you can catch me like this!"
Mo Shan snorted, "You need to practice this body movement more."
Although he said so, Mo Shan was still shocked.
Mo Hua's body movement was far stronger than he expected!
In this chase just now, even cultivators of the same realm as him might not be able to dodge one by one.
Mo Hua not only dodged it, but also seemed to be able to do it with ease. Except for being a little flustered at the beginning, he became more and more calm as time went on. His footwork was graceful and he advanced and retreated in a logical manner. He was comparable to some experienced demon hunters.
Moreover, this body movement was invisible and traceless. It was impossible to tell where to exert force, how to borrow force, and how to withdraw force.
Judging from the moves of ordinary physical practitioners, it was impossible to grasp it.
Mo Shan did not see through this body movement. He just relied on his years of experience in life and death fighting and his familiarity with his son to guess where Mo Hua would appear and made a random guess.
If not, it would probably take dozens of rounds until Mo Hua ran out of energy and revealed a flaw before he could be caught.
Mo Shan's heart was in turmoil.
Mo Hua is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining...
Mo Hua saw his father standing there, his expression calm, not showing any joy or anger, but he seemed to be distracted, so he asked: "Dad?"
Mo Shan came back to his senses, looked at Mo Hua, thought for a while and said:
"Your body skills are okay, but you still need to practice more and don't slack off!"
"Oh." Mo Hua nodded.
But thinking that this was also a compliment, he felt a little happy.
"Dad, have you also learned body skills?" Mo Hua asked again.
Mo Shan shook his head, "My body skills are not really body skills. I just realized some of them in the fight with monsters, in order not to get hurt, and then I learned some from others' body skills, and pieced them together."
"Pure body skills for actual combat?" Mo Hua was in awe.
"That's fine."
Mo Hua's eyes lit up, "Can you teach me?"
Mo Shan hesitated and said, "Didn't you learn the body movement? Don't learn too many things, master one first."
"I'll learn from you..." said Mo Hua.
Mo Shan thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
Mo Shan showed Mo Hua a few basic footwork movements.
Some of the movements are similar to the Water Step, but slightly different. Some are just seemingly simple forward and backward footwork, and some are fragmentary moves of other body movements. In the end, these are mixed together to form a set of simple and sharp body movements.
It looks like a patchwork of east scales and west claws, but Mo Hua doesn't despise it at all.
This is the most threatening body movement for him at present, and he can't think of how to deal with it.
Simple, efficient, no redundant movements, pay attention to adaptability, and win with no moves.
It can be said that they are all flaws, but as long as they are used well, they can be said to be flawless.
If these footworks are broken up and mixed into the Water Step, will the Water Step be more powerful?
Mo Hua was refreshed, and he memorized all these moves seriously, and planned to find time to practice more.
Mo Shan thought of the body movement that Mo Hua had just used, and still felt incredible, and asked:
"Did Zhang Dian teach you this body movement?"
"Uncle Zhang didn't let me say it."
"Yeah." Mo Shan nodded, and couldn't help thinking, isn't it the same as what you said...
"Dad, are you not angry?" Mo Hua whispered.
Mo Shan glared at him, "You still know I will be angry?"
Mo Hua chuckled.
"Get up early tomorrow morning." Mo Shan said.
"Tomorrow morning?" Mo Hua was stunned.
Mo Shan said nothing more, turned around and left.
At the hour of Mao the next day, Mo Hua got up and came to the yard, and saw his father Mo Shan standing there early.
"Your mother made breakfast, you eat first." Mo Shan said.
After the father and son finished eating, Mo Shan took Mo Hua out of the house.
The two walked through the streets in the early morning, walked out of the gate of Tongxian City, and stepped onto the mountain road outside the city.
"Dad, where are we going?"
Mo Hua couldn't help asking.
Mo Shan was silent for a moment, and said: "I'll take you to Dahei Mountain!"
