C32 (1/2)

”Come down! ”Ah, come on, come down!”

The ”Carefree Immortal” was standing in the middle of the pool with his trousers pulled up high, calling Little Red Snow to come down into the pool. This little fellow had already been in Penglai for three days. Since the ”Free and Unrestrained Immortal” couldn't rest, it had to bring Little Red Snow to do something.

”It can't be, Grandfather?!” This water... ”Ugh …” Isn't it too cold? ” Little Red Snow stood barefoot by the pool. Although her face was filled with excitement, she bent over and tested the water with her hands.

”Hahahaha …” Grandson, grandpa has been here for dozens of years. Ah, aren't you going to 'fly' up? Haha, then come down here and let grandpa teach you how to fly … ”Haha …” As he spoke, he spread out his hands and waited for Little Red Snow to descend into the water.

”Really, Grandfather!? — Hehe — 'Pu Tong' — Aiya! Good — cold — ”Hearing his grandfather teach him martial arts, what else could he consider? He opened his hands and jumped into the pond. He didn't expect it to be a little cold when he first entered the water.

Lin Xuanzi and Uncle Yu were seated at a nearby stone table, drinking tea and laughing.

”Haha, aiyo …” En, good! Come, stand here. Walk through the footwork that grandpa taught you … ”Haha!” The Carefree Immortal picked up Little Red Snow and placed her on a stone pillar in the water.

Lin Hongxue looked down and saw that the water was densely packed with stone pillars that were about a foot and a half tall and six inches in diameter. There were also words engraved on them! After looking carefully, Lin Hong Xue couldn't help but cry out, ”Ah!? Grandfather, aren't you just playing a chessboard? ” He had just discovered that these stone pillars were exactly the same as the 'chess board' in the 'Peach Blossom Cave'! It was just the lack of the peach tree beside him!

”Hahahaha …” The Free and Unrestrained Immortal leaped up and stood on a stone pillar beside her. He placed his hands on his hips and said, ”Aiya … Grandson, you're right about that! Haha, Grandfather's Unfettered Steps ah, it was from this that he walked out all those years ago! ”Haha …” The Carefree Immortal pointed his right hand at the water surface and then said to Lin Hongxue, ”The 'Go Board' that Grandfather made for you in the Peach Blossom Cave is not as good as this! ”Because I don't have the natural conditions here, haha …” After which, he stroked his white beard.

”Hmm? Grandpa, isn't this the same? It's just that this place is built in water... I think... ”Hmm …” ”It's not as good as the Peach Blossom Cave …” Lin Hongxue lifted her foot as she felt that it was uncomfortable to have her foot submerged in the water.

”Hahahaha …” Upon hearing this, the carefree immortal elder laughed heartily, ”Ah, grandson, do you know why grandfather wants to use this' chess board 'in the water?”

”Hmm?” Hearing her grandfather's question, Lin Hongxue tilted her head and thought for a while. Suddenly, she raised her head and looked at her grandfather with shining eyes, ”I know! ”Grandpa!” A proud expression appeared on his face.

”Oh? Upon hearing that Little Red Snow actually knew about it, the ”Carefree Immortal” was greatly surprised. He immediately widened his eyes and bent his body, waiting for Little Red Snow to speak. Even Lin Xuanzi couldn't help but look at her.

”En!” Little Red Snow put her left hand on her waist and waved her right hand. She looked at her grandfather with confidence, and said word by word: ”Seeing this pool of water is clear and abnormally clean, I believe that in order for my grandfather to finish his training, he did not need to wash his feet, thus he came up with such a brilliant idea. ”But grandpa is really smart …” The little fellow's face was serious.

”Ha ha-ha ha! — 'Pu Tong!' — Ouch! — Ha ha-ha ha — this — you can even think of it!” Haha, I'm going to die from laughter! — — In the eyes of my grandson, grandpa is a lazy person, ah! ”Hahahaha!” The ”Carefree Immortal” did not expect to get such an answer after waiting for half a day! He laughed from the stone pillar into the water. Beside them, Lin Xuanzi and Uncle Yu were laughing until their stomachs hurt!

”Mm? – could it be that I said something wrong? –” Lin Hongxue touched her bare head with her right hand. Seeing her grandfather and the others laughing like that, she felt very strange.

”En — — haha — — aiyo — —” The ”carefree immortal elder” slowly laughed as he stood on top of the stone pillar. He stared at the little fellow and laughed for a long time before finally being able to catch his breath.

”Yes, grandson.” After finally calming down, the ”Carefree Immortal” said seriously, ”Water is not only the source of all things, but also the source of power! The water is colorless, tasteless, and without a trace, it is invincible! ”

”Hmm?” Little Red Snow was confused by what she heard, but she still didn't quite understand. A pair of eyes was staring straight at his grandfather, listening very attentively.

”Yes! — look here!” Immortal Free and Unrestrained, ”stretched out his hand and took out a rock from the fake mountain, but there were many small holes on top of it.” See these holes? ”This hole is made from the water droplets that dripped from this fake mountain …” The carefree immortal elder brought the stone in front of Little Red Snow.

”Ah?” No way! Grandpa, this water can make stones too? ”Drop it into the hole?!” Lin Hongxue was truly shocked.

”Well, isn't there a 'drop of water through a rock' saying? So not only does water have great power, it also brings power to everything... En, look — ”The” Carefree Immortal ”slowly raised his right hand, and suddenly his palm lightly struck the water surface. With a” poo poof ”sound, a palm print actually appeared on the water surface! The ”Carefree Immortal” suddenly lifted his two feet from the stone pillar, and his body fell into the water, his right hand holding onto the palm print. Surprisingly, he did not sink even a little bit!

”Ah!” Lin Hongxue was stunned. Her mouth was wide open as she stared at her grandfather who was in the water, unable to say a single word.

”Haha! Watch carefully!” Unexpectedly, he could still speak! Before his voice had even faded, he saw the ”Carefree Immortal”'s right arm slightly bend as he lightly roared. His palm fiercely pushed against the surface of the water as if his body was a meter big that shot out of the water! When the palm of his hand was three points above the water, the ”Free and Unrestrained Immortal” turned his right hand gently. ”Pu!” A whirlpool three inches in diameter appeared on the water, but this time, his body didn't touch the water, instead, he shot straight up. He was actually more than two Zhang high!

Ah!” ”Ah!” Lin Hongxue could not help but be shocked. Even Lin Xuanzi and Uncle Yu were shocked!

Watch carefully!” In midair, he heard a loud shout from the ”Carefree Immortal Elder”, and then he shot down from a height of 20 feet! ”His right hand was still half a foot away from the surface of the water. He twisted his legs and made a 360 degree turn in the air. With a soft growl, he threw a palm towards the water!

Pop ~ ~ ~” With a muffled boom, a hole of about a foot in diameter appeared in the water from the palm attack to the bottom of the pool! At the same time, the ”Carefree Immortal” had already shot straight up more than ten meters! He spread his arms in the air, spun his right foot around and then landed on the stone pillar. The water surface of the pillar only rippled a little when he landed! At this moment, the water on both sides of the hole slowly filled up the hole again.

”Oh my god!” ”Grandfather! — What kind of martial arts is this!” Lin Hongxue had bent over to look at the round hole for a long time, and her eyes were filled with disbelief!

It wasn't just Little Red Snow. Lin Xuanzi was also extremely surprised! Who would have thought that his Master's current strength was so many times higher than his own master from ten years ago! He could not help but blush, but in his heart, he was extremely ashamed! There were many similarities between his Master's technique just now and Wu Dang's Taichi Palm, but if you look carefully, Wu Dang's Taichi Palm was far less powerful than his master's technique just now!

”Hahahaha, grandson, did you see that!?” This was the power of water. With every little bit of strength that Grandpa adds, the water will bring more counterattack power, and you can make use of this power! The so-called 'borrowing strength to fight' was precisely this principle! ”Hahahaha …”

”Ah!” Little Red Snow stared blankly at her grandfather as she unexpectedly shook her head. ”If I could be like grandpa, then I'd be great …” The little guy was already starting to let his imagination run wild.

”Hahahaha …” Grandson, in the future, you will definitely be stronger than grandpa, ah! Haha … ”So from now on, you will practice the footwork your grandpa taught you on the surface of the water. Ah …” Immortal Walkabout stroked his white beard with his right hand, looking radiant and energetic.

”Come, try walking on it!” As he said that, he leapt out of the pond and looked at Little Red Snow.

Lin Hongxue turned around to see her grandfather and the other two looking at her with burning eyes. She could not help but feel a bit nervous. However, his personality of never admitting defeat gave him an impulse to show off.

Lowering his head to look at the stone pillar in the water, other than the fact that it was not in the water, the rest of it was basically the same as the Peach Blossom Cave.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He opened his eyes, raised his arms, and slid his right foot towards a stone pillar. I didn't expect the water to be so different! When his right foot slipped out of the rock, he was immediately met with a resistance. His foot could have landed steadily in the middle of the rock pillar with this strength and position, but this time, the resistance from the water deflected him by three degrees. He pounced forward and was about to fall. Lin Hongxue was shocked. She never thought that it would be so different from the chess board of the ”Peach Blossom Cave”! In a moment of desperation, he abruptly lifted his right foot that had slipped to the side and stepped on the edge of the stone pillar. He slipped again and fell into the water with a ”poof” sound!

”Hahahaha …” Grandson, how do you feel? ”Hahahaha …” ”Phew.” Seeing that Little Red Snow had fallen into the water, the carefree Immortal laughed heartily once more.

”Eh —” Lin Hongxue stood up from the water. Hearing her grandfather's smile, she felt embarrassed. With a shrug of his shoulders, he leapt up from the water and onto the stone pillar. He turned around and glanced at his grandfather. Then, he waved his right hand and was about to slide out. This time, he had truly brought out his pride.

Ah — Snow, don't worry, ah!” Seeing that the little guy was serious, Lin Xuanzi quickly stepped forward to comfort him, ”Mm, do you remember what Uncle said about using 'thoughts'? This water has resistance, you don't need to force yourself to overcome it. ”Ahh!” ”Lin Xuanzi reminded Little Red Snow as he recalled the scene of her practicing the 'Water Steps' in Wu Dang's Cloud Stepping Sword.

”Hahahaha, what a 'let nature take its course'! Hm! ”That's a good word to use!” ”The Carefree Immortal actually agreed with Lin Xuanzi's words,” Un, Grandson, just like Uncle said, you have to get rid of all distracting thoughts. You have to let nature take its course, ah, let nature take its course, haha, this term is indeed well used … ”Oh, grandson, try again …”
