The next day, Mr. Zhuang rarely slept in. When he saw Mo Hua, he waved to him, “Mo Hua, come with me.”
Mr. Zhuang brought Mo Hua to the study and asked, “How many times have you practiced that three-talent formation?”
Mo Hua was very grateful to Mr. Zhuang in his heart, and he didn’t want to hide it, but the matter about the Taoist monument was a bit mysterious, and he couldn’t say it easily. However, he didn’t want to lie, so he said frankly:
“Mr. Hui, I practiced it three or four times on paper, and then practiced it seven or eight times in my dream.”
What he said was true, but he didn’t mention the monument.
Mr. Zhuang was slightly startled, “In a dream?”
“Well,” Mo Hua said, “after I fall asleep, I can continue to draw formations in my dream.”
Mr. Zhuang frowned slightly and looked at Mo Hua, only to find that Mo Hua had a frank expression and his eyes were so clear that he could see his own reflection.
Mr. Zhuang laughed and said, “I know.”
What do you know…
Mo Hua looked at Mr. Zhuang doubtfully.
Mr. Zhuang pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the ink painting and warned: “I am here to say this. No matter who asks you in the future, you do not need to answer, let alone drawing formations in dreams.”
“What if others want to get to the bottom of it?”
“Other people are looking for the root cause. According to what I said before, it is because you have learned the meditation technique, so you can learn the formation quickly.”
“Then what if someone asks me for the method of “Meditation”?”
Mr. Zhuang said nonchalantly: “If you can’t help it, don’t give it to him. If he robs him forcefully, you kill him. If he can’t kill him, beat him or escape, then give him meditation skills. All skills are foreign things, only fate.” It’s your own.”
Mo Hua thought for a while and thought it made sense, but still asked: “What if someone learns meditation and finds that it does not speed up their learning of formations?”
“In this case……”
Mr. Zhuang thought for a while and said: “You can only say that you are gifted, have a photographic memory, and can master the formation after seeing it a few times. And remember, you must be arrogant and arrogant when you say this. Use your contemptuous attitude to convince others that you are a unique genius.”
“Arrogant attitude?”
“I’ll do it once, and you’ll learn from it.”
After Mr. Zhuang finished speaking, he changed his idle look, as if a black dragon suddenly raised its head while taking a rest, looking arrogant and arrogant, looking down at the small mountains.
After a moment of arrogance, Mr. Zhuang looked tired again and said to Mo Hua:
“Just like this, you can learn more when you have time.”
Mo Hua was deeply shocked.
Mr. Zhuang usually looks like a fairy, but when he talks nonsense and deceives people, he is not vague at all.
When Mo Hua was alone by the pool, he pinched his waist, puffed out his chest, and looked arrogant, but he was not as domineering as Mr. Zhuang looked.
“Cultivation is a major subject. It seems that not only cultivation and formations, but also other things should be learned from Sir.”
Mo Hua made up his mind to practice this pretentious skill when he has time.
It was getting late and at dusk, Mo Hua said goodbye to Mr. Zhuang and went home.
After Mo Hua left, Mr. Zhuang lay on the recliner in the bamboo pavilion, thinking about his thoughts. The old man was playing chess by himself.
As the breeze passed by the pavilion, Mr. Zhuang, who had been thinking for a long time, suddenly said: “That’s inappropriate.”
The old man raised his eyelids and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“That kid in Mo Hua…”
The old man glanced at Mr. Zhuang, “Do you think he didn’t tell the truth?”
“It doesn’t matter whether you tell the truth or not, there are always some words that are inappropriate to say.”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“You learn quickly.” Mr. Zhuang frowned.
The old man was slightly startled, “Didn’t you say this before?”
The old man fell behind and said, “You can’t learn that fast. Mo Hua’s talent and understanding are far inferior to yours back then. Compared with many children from aristocratic families, there is still a big gap.”
Mr. Zhuang shook his head, “It can’t be compared like this. The aristocratic family has its own heritage and inheritance. From childhood, even a pig can learn formations faster than the average person. As for me…”
Mr. Zhuang looked indifferent, “There are only a handful of people in the monastic world who are more talented in formation formation than me. It is normal for them not to be able to compare with me.”
Mr. Zhuang said arrogant words in a calm tone.
It’s a pity that no one is cheering. The puppet master is playing chess on the side without even bothering to raise his head.
Mr. Zhuang missed Mo Hua a little bit. If Mo Hua was next to him, his bright eyes would definitely be full of admiration.
Mr. Zhuang sighed and said:
“Mo Hua is different after all. He was born as a casual cultivator and has no family background or inheritance. His formation skills are too weak. If he improves his formation skills too quickly, it will inevitably attract people’s attention and even lead to death.”
“You can also look forward and backward, which is a bit rare.” The old man smiled half-heartedly.
Mr. Zhuang stretched his waist and said, “The trees are as beautiful as the forest, but the wind will destroy them. I didn’t understand the principle of keeping a low profile and didn’t look forward and backward, so I suffered a loss.”
“Then what are you going to do? Stop teaching?”
Mr. Zhuang was lying on the bamboo chair, tapping the armrest with his fingers, “You still have to teach. If you become my disciple, even if you are not a direct disciple, you cannot only learn this thing. Otherwise, letting others know will damage me.” His face has also been insulted to my master.”
Puppet Lao said: “You didn’t care about these false names before.”
“As you get older, you lose face.”
The old man looked at the lazy Mr. Zhuang and said, “I don’t think so.”
Mr. Zhuang ignored the old man and closed his eyes after speaking, as if he was deep in thought or dozing off.
The old man played chess as usual.
The night is getting darker, the evening wind blows through the mountains, and the trees rustle.
Mr. Zhuang suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the mountains and forests under the night, and murmured in a low voice:
“If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it… Then if the tree is not beautiful in the forest, the wind will not destroy it.”
The old man looked at him with some doubts, while Mr. Zhuang’s eyes followed the ups and downs of the trees in the mountains, and said meaningfully: “If you hide the trees in the forest, you will not stand alone in the forest.”
The old man frowned.
Mr. Zhuang’s eyes skipped the mountains and forests and landed in front of the courtyard door.
Every morning, the Bai brothers and sisters would go up the mountain to visit.
Those two children are extremely talented and are the best Lin Mu.
Early the next morning, the Bai family brothers and sisters still visited the mountain. The difference from the past was that when they went to the door to salute, the usually closed bamboo door suddenly opened.
At the same time, a plaque reading “Zi Wangju” appeared in front of the door.
Behind the door is a courtyard with locust trees supporting the sky, small bridges and flowing water, mist and clouds, and a fairy atmosphere.
Bai Zisheng said blankly:
“Aunt Xue…the courtyard door is open. Is Mr. Zhuang willing to see us?”
Aunt Xue, who had always been calm, also felt ups and downs for a moment, “It should be.”
Then she thought silently in her heart: “As long as Mr. Zhuang is willing to see us, even if he does not accept the young master and the young lady as his disciples at this time, he can at least accompany them first. With the talents of the young master and the young lady, Mr. Zhuang will agree sooner or later.”
Bai Zisheng looked slightly uneasy. He looked at his sister on the side and found that Bai Zixi’s delicate face was as cold as ever, without any extra emotions.
A trace of distress flashed in Bai Zisheng’s eyes, and then he silently blocked his sister behind him and stepped into the yard.
