"Master, what are you talking about? You are only seventy-five years old, and you can live a hundred years in the body tempering period. If you eat more goose eggs and take good care of your body, you might be able to live for two or three people as old as me!" Song Yushan said.
My mother-in-law just looks old, but she is actually in good health. No one in Fushui County can beat her with a cane!
Granny Hua smiled and did not refute, but just gave her a few more spoons of custard.
"Eat quickly, and after that, learn the wind stick technique from me. The sooner you can protect yourself, the better." Granny Hua said.
Song Yushan nodded when he heard the words: "Master, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time, but Master, after I advanced today, I couldn't control my strength. This bamboo stick..."
When Grandma Hua saw the bamboo stick with eight petals split at the end, she said helplessly: "I'll go to the bamboo forest to chop one later. This time I'll pick a longer root."
The cries and pleas outside the store did not affect the old man and the young man from eating and practicing their sticks at all.
Watching Granny Hua demonstrate the Wind Stick Technique this time, Song Yushan had a completely different feeling.
Grandma Hua deliberately took care of her eyesight and slowed down. Song Yushan had practiced the basic stick moves for so long and was already very familiar with them. It was obvious at a glance that the basic moves were everywhere and there was no difficulty at first glance. .
But when she really followed the gourd and started trying to use the stick consistently, she found that she was making many mistakes. She was used to the starting and ending of a movement, complete and complete, with ups and downs. Now one movement may still be Before it is completely finished, the next move is taken, and it is always difficult to grasp it well.
However, as she performed the stick technique over and over again, she found that her application of the stick technique had greatly improved, and the feeling of having to think about where the next stick would land after one stick was much lessened.
The connection of any basic movements seems to be reflected in the moves of the Swift Wind Stick Technique, endlessly.
In the words of Granny Hua, this continuous flow is the basis for making the Swift Wind Stick Technique faster. Any pauses and poor connections will only delay the rhythm and speed of the attack.
Song Yushan could almost imagine what it would look like when fighting an enemy with the Gale Wind Stick Technique. As long as the first stick had the advantage, he would be able to overwhelm people with one stick after another.
After practicing for an afternoon, she finally got the basic moves of this set of stick techniques down. The next step was to correct the movements, and through practicing over and over again, she understood the meaning of the "fast wind" of the stick technique.
When the dinner was delivered, the cry that had been paused for an hour outside the longevity food shop started again: "Grandma Hua, please save them. If you don't save them, we, the old couple, will have to kneel here forever..."
Granny Hua didn't respond at all, and only told her: "Have dinner quickly and then go back. Stay at home at night and don't go out."
Song Yushan laughed hard and ate quickly.
In the past, she didn't feel that it was a little late to go home when the sun was setting after knowing how dangerous the night was to a monk like her who had not opened her eyes.
When she left, Granny Hua accompanied her out, watched her leave, and then said to the Xu family: "Their family of three has been entangled by the ghosts of gossip. This is all their own fault. I can only drive them away temporarily." If they talk about people's right and wrong again in the future, the karma ghosts will still come back, and I won't be able to save them at that time."
"Thank you, Granny Hua! We will take good care of them and prevent them from causing trouble again!" The old man and Mrs. Xu of the Xu family promised again and again.
"You just take them home. I will come to drive out the ghosts at night..."
Song Yushan turned back three times with each step, and walked slowly to the entrance of the alley, only to hear this much. After meeting Granny Hua's dangerous gaze, she hurriedly ran away.
At noon the next day, when she came over with lunch, things seemed to have calmed down and the street became quiet again.
"Master, Master, is your homework going well?" Song Yushan asked as soon as he entered the door.
Granny Hua sat in front of the stone table in the courtyard: "It went very well, don't worry. Have you finished reading "Celestial Phenomena" that I gave you last time?"
Song Yushan nodded: "I've almost memorized it."
Granny Hua picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, seemed to choke in surprise, covered her nose and coughed a few times, "Did you memorize it?"
Song Yushan hurriedly went to pat her mother-in-law on the back: "Master, didn't I tell you that I would take out the book and read it every day? After reading it for more than a month, is there anything strange about memorizing it?
But just memorizing them is not enough. There are still some differences between the pictures in the book and the actual ones. Some of them I just can't identify.
If you hadn't said that I haven't reached the realm yet and have insufficient eyesight, so you refused to teach me now, I would have studied that book thoroughly. "
Granny Hua eased her coughing: "Then from tomorrow onwards, you will come an hour early every day. I will first tell you about the celestial phenomena that you can observe in this book. When you reach the late stage of the body tempering realm, your eyesight will be strong enough." , you can learn to read the celestial phenomena, predict the weather, and arrange your cultivation."
Song Yushan was overjoyed: "Really? You can start learning tomorrow?"
"I'm not lying to you!" Grandma Hua nodded her forehead: "Okay, let's eat quickly. After eating, practice stick skills. I'll see how much you still remember what you learned yesterday."
"Yeah!" Song Yushan nodded heavily.
She immediately decided to move the bookstore's closing time forward by an hour. Nothing was as important as her own practice.
Today, her mother-in-law is much stricter than before. In the past, when she made a mistake, her mother-in-law would guide her to find the problem, but today she pointed it out immediately.
Her father's sudden death had a profound impact on her. This sudden change in the people close to her made her very uneasy. She felt that something was wrong with her mother-in-law for no reason.
It always felt like something happened that she didn't know about.
She couldn't help but secretly observe her mother-in-law, but she couldn't see anything strange except that she loved drinking tea today.
"Why do you always look at me?" Grandma Hua saw her distracted and paused heavily on her crutches.
Song Yushan decided to tell the truth: "Master, why are you so impatient in your teaching style today?"
"What did you say?" Granny Hua's face sank, and she was about to hit her with the crutch.
Song Yushan quickly used his three-legged cat stick technique to resist, and then was hit on the buttocks without any surprise, and screamed in pain.
"What are you doing weird? How can I still not know how much force I used? Practice hard and don't get distracted by your thoughts. If you can't practice well, I won't talk about "Celestial Phenomenon" tomorrow. Wait until you are in the late stage of the Body Tempering Realm and then take your time. Speak!" Granny Hua said angrily.
Song Yushan felt that the taste was right and felt relieved: "I will practice hard! I will start teaching "Celestial Phenomena" tomorrow!"
After practicing like this for a day, she found that her stick skills had indeed improved a lot. She guessed it was because although the stick skills were now generally smooth, the movements were not standard. Stricter instruction would help her to quickly master the details of the movements. Okay, let's start to grasp the meaning of "gust" in the Swift Wind Stick Technique. This is the essence and difficulty of this stick technique.
The last bit of doubt was gone.
