"Mom, why can't people fly?"
Wu Ge's mother was stunned for a moment. Originally, she came to talk to Wu Ge about finding another job, but she didn't expect Wu Ge to turn the bookcase into a mess and ask such an inexplicable question. Of course, mothers tend to be proud of their sons asking such questions, because it shows that they have a keen sense of observation and a strong desire to learn β but only if their son is less than three years old, Wu Ge is undoubtedly past this stage.
"Well, people don't have wings. β
She replied a little embarrassed, looking at Wu Ge suspiciously.
Wu Ge scratched his head in annoyanceβa gesture that made him look forward to Bobo putting candy in his mouthβbut he really had nothing to complain about this answer: as the saying goes, where there is a father, there must be a son, and given the equality of men and women, it is of course fine to say that there is a mother and a son, and the reverse is probably not wrong to say that there is a son and a mother. This is the situation he is encountering nowβwhen Master Qingyun asks him this question, he also answers it this way.
ββββββββββββββββ
A few hours ago, in the study of Master Qingyun.
"But I did it back then?"
Wu Ge said, and told the master about how he turned a test paper into a blank sheet of paper, a comic, and a piece of paper full of garbled characters in class.
"But you don't know how it changed, and you can't change it now, can you?" said the master.
Wu Ge is asking the master about spells - his duel with Bobo is close at hand, how can he do it if he doesn't learn a few tricks quickly? Slowly, Bobo is not the ancestor of people, and even if he is, it is shameful enough not to win against such an ancestor.
"This trial is not about how many spells you master, but whether you can use them flexibly. The master took a sip of tea and said slowly, "There aren't many spells in the Bobo Society. β
"Yes. But I can ......"
"Being able to do it at the beginning just means that your cultivation is not high enough, and you can't effectively control your qi, understand?"
"Uh, but if you could do it back then, you shouldn't be able to do it at all now?" Wu Ge was both distressed and confused. Speaking of which, it should be the "Art of Change," and if he masters this, he will probably be able to have more confidence in Bobo's victory.
The master smiled but did not answer.
"Okay, I'll pass you on a trick. He digressed from the subject. "Aren't you really interested in learning a few more spells?"
"Of course. β
"Then you listen carefully: sigh and sigh. This spell is different from normal spells. In general, you can figure out how to get lucky according to the voice, and when you read the fourth word, you need to use your mind to direct the qi to the right palm, and then recite the fifth word. β
Wu Ge felt the flow of inner breath corresponding to the spell, and then cast the spell.
When he read the word "Mi", Wu Ge's right arm involuntarily raised and was facing Master Qingyun. But the master flicked his palm lightly.
"Phew. Wu Ge pronounced the last word.
With a "click" sound, a thunderbolt burst out of Wu Ge's palm, brushed past the master's ear, flew out of the window, and split a fist-thick peach tree outside the study in half.
"Ahh......h Why did you cast a spell on the master? and destroyed the flowers in the master's yard.
"It doesn't matter. β
The master raised his middle and index fingers and shook them lightly. The peach tree outside the window shook a few times, and gradually recovered in a fog.
"Palm Thunder. The Master explained, "Do you think this spell is powerful enough?"
"Ah, of course. It's amazing. Wu Ge said happily. This trick is really ruthless, and his palms and arms are still numb.
"Then I'll pass you another trick. But you have to promise me first, I didn't agree that you can't use it, and you can't practice. Got it?"
"Oh, yes. Wu Ge was a little embarrassed. It seems that the master was worried that he would destroy his house.
The master laughed and said:
"This spell is relatively simple, whew-whew. Of course, this is only the first half of the spell. Now you hold it firmly with both hands. Feel it. β
Wu Ge tried it, and felt that this spell seemed to be very peaceful and had no power. Moreover, he had a vague sense of dΓ©jΓ vu about the spell.
"Know why I won't let you use this spell?" the master asked.
Wu Ge blushed.
"Hehe, that's not what you think. The master explained, "It's a lightning channeling ......."
"Oh!"
Wu Ge remembered that Lu Xiaoxiao had cast this spell when he was chasing Bobo. No wonder it sounded familiar to him. This spell is more powerful than palm thunder, no wonder the master is so careful.
"Although lightning guidance and palm thunder both use lightning to attack people, they are still very different. The former is to use its own qi to guide the heavenly thunder to attack the target, and the latter is completely to use its own qi to turn into a lightning attack target. The Master paused for a moment before he continued, "That's the differenceβthe difference between high-level spells and low-level spells. β
"Oh?"
Wu Ge looked down in thought.
"I see," he said, "that the lightning channeling technique is much more powerful than the palm of the mine, but it consumes very little air. That's why lightning channeling is a high-level spell. β
"It's not all. Lightning guidance is deceptively simple, and it doesn't require a lot of gas. But you have to know a lot to use it, such as celestial phenomena - otherwise how would you know where to go to direct the thunder? In addition, such spells also require a high level of skill from the caster. Otherwise, it is very likely that you will be the one who is being led down by thunder. The master smiled slightly and said, "Now you understand why I didn't let you cast this spell, and I didn't even let you practice, right?"
Wu Ge smiled awkwardly. In fact, he had also thought about it just now, with his current cultivation, the master would not be afraid that he would demolish his house.
"Does the master mean that the high-level spells are used by the power of nature for me?"
"That's to the point. The master said approvingly. Of course, this statement is not absolute, and whether the spell is advanced or not is also reflected in its complexity and subtlety. However, spells come from nature, and understanding and mastering nature is the true meaning of cultivating immortals. I told you to observe and experience, that's what it means. β
"Then, the second half of the lightning channeling technique ......," Wu Ge asked tentatively.
"The second half is how you direct the lightning to the target and collect it in time to avoid the lightning hitting you. It's not something you can grasp right now. β
Wu Ge also understood this - he held up his finger like a lightning rod, yelled and shouted to draw the thunder, and then he had to stop in time...... It's not easy to think about.
"Okay, then I'll concentrate on practicing palm thunder for the past few days. Hopefully, I will be able to contain Bobo when the time comes. β
"Huh, you're going to use palm thunder against Bobo?"
"yes. I don't know a lot of spells right now......"
"We're asking you to catch Bobo, not kill Bobo. The master looked amused. "Although Bobo said that he was a little naughty, after all, it was a spirit beast left by Chi Songzi's predecessors, how could he be easily killed?"
"Oh...... That's just as well. β
In fact, Wu Ge didn't plan to kill Bobo, but he always felt that Bobo was a difficult horn to deal with, and he was afraid that the power of the palm thunder was not enough. But looking back, Bobo's ability is to hide. If it dodges, then this trick is useless, and if it can't dodge, I'm afraid that it will immediately become a scorched monkey, and there is not a single hair left on its body - then it will be considered an evolution.
"Catching Bobo is nothing more than a test of your mastery of spells. Non-offensive spells are generally used, and at best they can only perform symbolic attacks. Got it?"
"I've heard from the masters. But I ......."
"Don't you know how to fly now?"
"I've tried a few things, but I can't even climb the air. Wu Ge told the truth.
"Why don't you think mortals can't fly?" asked the master with a sip of tea.
"Uh...... Because people don't have wings?"
Wu Ge is purely a mouth that turns faster than his brain. As soon as the words came out, he regretted it.
"Can a man with wings fly?" the master looked at him with interest.
"I'm afraid not. Wu Ge muttered, "The human body is heavier than a bird...... It should be said that it is a major weight, so ......"
"You're right. But don't think about the reason so complicated, it's just a matter of common sense...... You have it in your middle school textbooks. β
"Is that a class?" Wu Ge looked at the master.
β...... Then you can take a closer look and think about it. The master said with a smile.
It seems that the master has decided to sell the pass to the end, Wu Ge thought. However, he also felt that it was better to figure it out on his own.
"Okay, I'll read some more books. I think I can figure it out. β
"Yes," the master laughed with satisfaction, "Isn't it true that you realized the Qi Climbing Technique...... But by the way, most people walk on the soles of their feet, not on their stomachs like you. β
