Volume 1 Uncle Nine's World Chapter 20: Heart-to-heart talk between master and disciple
Simu took a nice bath and just walked out of the door, he saw his disciple actually performing the Eight Trigrams Dragon Step and making eight consecutive strikes with the momentum of breaking through the air.
The palm force resounded in the sky, and even his eardrums were vibrating.
Looking at the disciple in front of him, Simu actually had a feeling as if he was in another world. Could it be that several months or even years had passed while he was taking a bath?
Jiale was slowly finishing his training. The unknown space was good in every way except his endurance. It had only been a short while but he couldn't hold on any longer.
Fortunately, there is no consciousness in the unknown space, otherwise, Tu Jiale would be very angry. It was obviously your mental condition that made you blame others.
Looking at the stunned Si Mu, Jia Le touched the back of his head and said, "Master, you have finished your bath, but where did I practice wrong?"
Simu woke up from his dream after hearing this, grabbed Jiale and asked, "Jiale, tell me honestly, how long have you been taking a bath?"
Jiale was even more confused after hearing this. Could it be that he had gone stupid from taking a bath?
But, he is the master after all. Jiale looked at the sun. Simu came back at the hour of Si in the morning, which was around ten o'clock. Now it was already noon, almost past twelve o'clock.
"Master, more than an hour has passed."
More than an hour!
In just over an hour, his disciples had already mastered Baguazhang?
Simu's heart felt like a thousand waves surging, taking a long time to calm down. Although Simu had never practiced Baguazhang, before he went down the mountain, he spent every day with Uncle Jiu and watched him practice Baguazhang. The more he watched, the more he knew. What's more, the master also said that Uncle Jiu was able to get started within a month, which was already at the genius level.
If one month of learning is considered a genius, then what is my apprentice who only took an hour to learn? A monster?
"Master, are you okay?"
Seeing Simu beginning to be dazed again, Jiale couldn't help but wave his hand in front of his eyes. Could it be that he had been bewitched by a female fairy? Why was he mentally unstable? In fact, Jiale had only stayed with Simu until now. He had only met a few other cultivators and had not had any communication. He had no idea about his own progress. He only knew that he had an unknown space, which should not be slow, but he had no idea of the specific concept.
Otherwise, the performance of Four Eyes would be understandable.
It took a long time for Simu to come back to his senses. Even though he had a lot of questions in his mind, he didn't know who to ask. In the end, he could only say one sentence, "Jia Le, the master is hungry."
Jiale couldn't help but smile, and hurriedly served the rice, and devoured it with Simu.
At the dinner table.
Simu had calmed down and said slowly, "Baguazhang is a combination of magic and martial arts. The world is ending and the spiritual energy is dissipating. Even if we have the righteous law in Maoshan, it is difficult to display its due charm without the support of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The world is changing. If cultivators want to survive and if the sect wants to exist, they must change with it. That is why we, Maoshan, have created this method of combining magic and martial arts after the efforts of several generations of masters.
The most representative ones are Lightning Thunder Fist and Bagua Palm.
The Lightning Thunder Fist was inherited by your master Bo Shijian, who has a natural talent for thunder, which goes well with the Lightning Thunder Fist. He is one of the top geniuses in our Maoshan generation. Now he is only one step away from breaking through the Spirit Transformation Realm and advancing to the true teachings.
Baguazhang was inherited by your second uncle Lin Fengjiao. Although your second uncle's talent is inferior to your first uncle, his character is better. Compared with the Lightning Thunder Fist, it is more suitable for Baguazhang. Now he has perfected Baguazhang and carried forward this method of combining magic and martial arts. He is also only one step away from breaking through the Spirit Transformation Realm and advancing to the true teachings.
Compared with your two uncles before you, my aptitude is not as good. Both Lightning Thunder Fist and Bagua Palm have very high requirements for aptitude, and it takes a long time to practice. I am self-aware, so I did not practice the combination of these two skills. However, you have good aptitude. Now, in just one hour, you have mastered the basics of Bagua Palm.
It also shows that you have extraordinary talent. To be honest, being your master is a bit of an understatement for your talent. If...
It was the first time that Jiale heard Simu speak like this. In the past, although he received many compliments after training, they were mostly encouragement. They would not acknowledge how good his aptitude was or anything like that. But now he actually spoke like this.
After hearing this, Jia Le almost understood that with the help of the unknown space, his cultivation speed was indeed a bit fast, especially in this last days of the world. Perhaps this time, he learned Baguazhang in an hour, which had some impact on Simu.
However, when Jiale heard Simu say that he didn't want him anymore, he quickly stopped him from talking. Simu's talent might not be as good as Uncle Jiu and Shi Jian's, but he was better to him than anyone else, and he was the guide who led him on the path of cultivation . Jiale didn't know many people in this world, but he didn't hesitate to assume the worst of others.
At least Simu treats him well, and that is enough. As for the future, they can talk about it later. Jiale doesn’t want to leave Simu now.
"Master, why are you saying all this? I have already chosen you as my disciple. You even said you would teach me the art of summoning spirits."
Simu was startled when he heard that. Looking at Jiale's eyes, he understood Jiale's intentions and felt warm in his heart. In fact, if he really had to send Jiale away, he would not be willing to do so. However, Simu was a really good man. Even if he didn't want to, he would tell Jiale about the current situation and let Jiale make his own choice. He didn't want to cause a rift between the master and the apprentice because of his concealment.
Now it seems that I was overthinking it. Like master, like disciple. It seems that my disciple just depends on him.
Thinking of this, Simu was so happy that he ate two more bowls of rice.
"Okay, I haven't practiced Baguazhang, so I can't teach you much, but I dare say that in this generation, no one can compare to you in summoning spirits. Starting tomorrow, I will teach you the art of summoning spirits."
Seeing that Simu finally adjusted his mentality, Jiale also breathed a sigh of relief.
After dinner, Jiale finally had time to talk to Simu about the incident when he encountered the yellow-skinned man asking for a title when he came back.
Jiale told the story of how he met a yellow-skinned man asking for a title on his way back, how he handled the situation later, and how the yellow-skinned man wanted to follow into the courtyard but was blocked by the master's magic power.
After hearing this, Simu's face suddenly turned ugly.
"You yellow-skinned bastard, you have bullied people and now you have bullied my Maoshan. Jiale, don't worry, this matter is not over yet. Your master will definitely seek justice for you."
