Chapter 48: Konoha in the Wind
Su Le hails from China on Earth, and although it looks very similar to the world of the incarnation on the surface, there is one fundamental difference: China traditionally believes that there are five basic elements, namely the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth; The incarnation world is the four elements, which is consistent with the perception of some other civilizations on earth such as ancient Greece and ancient India.

In the Western Weekend of China, there is already a five-material (element) theory. Judging from the "Chinese Zheng Language", which "uses earth and metal, wood, water, and fire to make all things", if you take away the soil as the foundation, it can basically correspond to the four elements of the divine world.
In addition, China's wood fire and gold water just correspond to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and also correspond to the four elephants. Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments, two instruments give birth to four images, and there is also a Yin and Yang Taiji diagram in the world of supernatural powers. As for the four elephants, the eastern green dragon belongs to wood, the southern vermilion bird belongs to fire, the western white tiger belongs to gold, and the northern basalt water also corresponds to wood fire and gold water.
So even in different cultures, or even in different worlds, some basic views are actually the same. The earth in the four elements of the supernatural world naturally corresponds to the gold in the five elements, and the remaining pair with different names - qi and wood are actually the same.
The ancient Chinese believed that the east gave birth to wind, the wind gave birth to wood, the wind in the sky and the wood in the earth. In addition, both wind (air) and wood have the characteristics of representing ascending.
Tenzin's leaves did not touch any of the rotating screens, and slowly fell to the other side. Next, Tenzin asked Ginola to demonstrate it in person. Despite the presence of a young male watching, Ginola was not stage frightened, and made her way through the swirling screen array with great ease.
Then it was Korra's turn. Korra, still not feeling that it was difficult, said "Look at me" and rushed forward. Soon she was on the other side of the rotating screen array...... But she crashed into every wooden screen she passed, and none of them were bad.
Of course, the self-confident (proud and arrogant) supernatural girl will not admit defeat, and she rushed up and hit the screen for a long time and came out, this time back in front of Tenzin.
Tenzin sighed helplessly, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of Su Le, who had been watching very carefully.
"Su Le, do you want to give it a try? I don't think you're going to do any worse than Cora. ”
"Me? I'm not a Qi Master, so it's useless to practice this. Su Le said.
"It's also a big benefit." Tenzin said, "My father once told me that once upon a time, there was a Fire Sect master who created the Reverse Thunder Technique by studying the theory of water resistance, which can transfer the lightning that strikes him away from his body. ”
"In that case, I'll give it a try."
"Hmph~ If he can do it, I'll let him hit him in the face!" Cora said, pointing to her pretty face.
"Sule, be careful not to go on a rampage like Cora." Ginola didn't save face for Cora and reminded Su Ledao with a little blush.
"Well, thanks for the reminder."
As he spoke, Su Le entered the rotating screen array, and Su Le noticed that when Ginola demonstrated, she didn't move in a straight line. Whenever an obstacle is encountered, Ginora can quickly change direction, and eventually the curvilinear movement reaches the other side of the screen array.
Su Le then imitated Ginola's footwork for curvilinear movements. Of course, this still requires super high reaction speed and physical flexibility, but Su Le also has it. It's not that Cora is unresponsive, it's just that she's straighter and not used to roundabouts.
However, there are some things that there are no shortcuts, and there is no way to achieve them quickly. Su Le had already reached the other side of the screen array, although he had encountered the screen a few times on the way, but the god of footwork already had it.
Every time Su Le touched the screen, he paused, adjusted his breathing, and then continued to move forward after seeing the movement of the screen.
As soon as Cora touched the screen, she changed direction and continued to rampage, eager to rush out of the screen array. In short, the movements are very large, and they do not seem to be slow like Ginola and Su Le, but they have a steady rhythm.
"Not bad, pretty good." Su Le's performance made Tenzin very satisfied.
"It's not a few times! And every time you touch the screen, you lean on it to hide, so that a few fewer screens turn, isn't the difficulty reduced? Cora said unconvinced.
"Then you can go up and try again!" Tenzin said to Kora: "Now the overall speed of the screens has slowed down, and several screens are almost not moving. ”
"Just try, I really don't believe in this evil."
As she spoke, Cora rushed into the screen array again, and when she came out in disgrace, the motionless screens began to turn again.
"Cora, you need to be patient, tomorrow we'll try in a different project."
Then Su Le and Cora took turns to practice in the screen array, and by noon, Su Le was already playing well, while Kora had not made any progress.
……
The next day, Tenzin took the children, along with Kora and Sule, to an octagonal pavilion on the island to meditate. The gazebo is built on a cliff face where you can hear the sound of the waves, making it a great place to meditate.
The six of them sat cross-legged in the gazebo and meditated with their eyes closed, but this was more uncomfortable than anything else for the active Cora.
"Am I doing something wrong, how uncomfortable it is." Cora couldn't help but say.
"You don't have to do anything, just let your mind and spirit stretch freely." Tenzin corrected, "If you look at Namiro, he can meditate quietly, and you can definitely do it." ”
This time, Tenzin didn't take out Su Le to compare and teach Cora a lesson, because Su Le really didn't do much better than Kora. Su Le comes from a fast-paced society, and the speed of writing novels has even reached the point where more than 5,000 words a day is not much, so few people can do this kind of thing well when they are quiet and meditate.
Cora looked at Miro and said, "I think I'm asleep." ”
It does, and it's already drooling. Su Le also opened his eyes and glanced at Miro. It seems that there is no necessary connection between whether you can control qi and whether you can calm down and meditate, after all, Miro can control qi.
"Yes, at least Miroha learned to relax." Tenzin quibbled, and then said, "Generally speaking, it is always difficult for supernatural powers to master the imperial art that conflicts with their own personality, but for An it is a solid earth control technique, and for you it should be the qi control technique." As long as you keep meditating, you can slowly enter a state of peace, and it should be easier for you to master the art of controlling qi. ”
After listening to Tenzin's explanation, Korra persisted for a while, but still couldn't calm down, and left directly to drink juice very impolitely.
……
Days of training had been fruitless, and Cora's patience had finally reached its limit. During the training of the rotating screen array, she used the fire resistance technique to burn all the screens.
is really a grumpy girl, the scene is a mess, and everyone is dumbfounded. Tenzin couldn't help but reprimand Kora: "Is there something wrong with your brain? ”
"It's not my problem, I'm doing what you teach, but nothing has come of it." Cora retorted.
Tenzin calmed down and taught Kora: "There are some things that cannot be forced, but as long as you are willing to listen to my ......"
Cora abruptly interrupted Tenzin. "I've been listening to you, but I think maybe it's not me, maybe it's because you're a bad teacher."
After saying that, Cora walked away, without giving Tenzin any face, and the popular Cora didn't pay much attention to the traditional virtues that Su Le knew, such as respecting the old and loving the young.
"yes, yes, Dad is a bad teacher." Young Miro was still making a mess at this time, running around the rubble.
Ginora and Yiqi are more sensible, firstly, they are a little older, and in addition, it may also be the reason for the girls, so they snuggled up to their father to comfort Tenzin.
