Chapter 143 Gift (5K)

Tang Lingwu's "Spiritual Crane Body" is perfected.

It's like when a person holds a hammer, he always wants to find a nail, or when he picks up a straight wooden stick, he always wants to find a bunch of foxtail grass.

Tang Lingwu has mastered the "Spiritual Crane Body" - and just wants to let off some steam.

The three of them came to the small park where Zheng Fa had practiced before.

It was already very late, and there were not many stars in the sky, making the night seem even darker.

This park is also very old, with sparse and dim street lights. You often have to walk through a long, dark section before you see a hazy light.

It was a summer evening.

There are also a lot of mosquitoes flying around in the park, so it’s not a particularly good place to hang out.

But there are people here too. As the three of them walk, they always run into some young or middle-aged couples holding hands.

Originally, the three of them were a little cautious in their words, after all, they would talk about things related to cultivating immortals from time to time.

But after walking for a while they discovered that they were afraid of running into others, and others were even more afraid of running into them.

Not to mention those young couples, I always lower my head when I meet them.

The middle-aged man was even more intense. As soon as he saw the three people, he separated into far distances, one in front and one behind, pretending to be strangers in an attempt to cover up their tracks.

"Tsk... I don't know who is more disgusting."

The old man shook his head, his face full of envy for the declining morals of the world.

He and Zheng Fa were walking side by side.

Tang Lingwu, who was in front of the two of them, was jumping around, with her ponytail rising and falling, giving her a shiny black and lively look in the night.

To others, she looked like she was running, taking big strides at a time, like a sprinter.

Only Zheng Fa and the others could see that she didn't use any strength with her feet, and she didn't even bend her knees. She just tapped the rough stone slabs with the tip of her shoes, and she jumped two or three meters in one go.

It can be seen that she still controlled her strength.

Tang Lingwu seemed to really like the feeling of breaking through the wind while moving forward quickly. She couldn't help but smile as she walked, with a look of genuine happiness on her face.

Only when she saw people approaching did she stop obediently and wait for Zheng Fa and the others.

Looking at her like a little girl, not only the old man smiled like an aunt.

Even Zheng Fa couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed.

"Not in a hurry anymore?"

Seeing his expression, the old white man beside him asked softly.

Zheng Fa nodded slightly, and saw Tang Lingwu in front of him turned around and looked at him with concern.

"Anxious, but useless."

To be honest, he was more uneasy than anxious - after all, he was finally living a happy life in Jiushan Sect.

Now, because of what happened in Taiyang County, he always has a bad feeling.

"Yes, there's no use in worrying."

The old man nodded and waved to Tang Lingwu in front of him, as if he had something to say to the two of them.

Tang Lingwu walked up to the two of them with a curious look on her face.

"I was a mess before and taught you a lot of things." The old man pondered for a while, as if he was organizing his words, and then he slowly spoke to the two of them.

“How to do academic research.”

“How to learn math.”

"I told you to work hard, to cooperate, and to forge ahead."

The old man looked at the two people who were deep in thought, then glanced around the park and said, "But there is one thing I have been wondering whether I should teach."

"?"

Zheng Fa and Tang Lingwu both looked at the old man Bai's somewhat conflicted face.

"In addition to hard work and cooperation, which are all old-fashioned things." The white old man spoke slowly, as if he was slowly thinking about what to say: "You also have to learn to give up."

“…”

"We are all human beings, and no one can solve all problems." The old man said this and glanced at Zheng Fa: "Even if you are cultivating immortals, don't you have so many troubles?"

Zheng Fa showed a bitter smile.

Is cultivating immortality good? Of course it is good.

But are the people in the Xuanwei Realm happier than in modern times? Zheng Fa was afraid that the disciples of the immortal sect would not think so.

"Do I want to become a great mathematician? To be a Fields or a Wolf?" The white old man pointed at himself and said, "I dream about it."

"Do I want to cultivate to the point of ascending to heaven? Of course I do, but Ling Wu and I have been practicing the Spirit Crane Body for so long, she has already mastered it, and I am still far from it."

The old man's words made Tang Lingwu look a little embarrassed, as if she felt that her behavior just now was a bit too ostentatious.

"I don't mean anything else." The old man waved his hand and said, "What I mean is that it's normal to be poor sometimes. Don't think that the fate of others depends on you. Don't take everything on your shoulders - that's arrogance."

Zheng Fa was stunned.

“Especially when doing research, you must not be arrogant or push yourself.”

"If you push yourself too hard in practicing, you will go astray. If you push yourself too hard in research, you will go astray... Sometimes, academics or cultivation are not that important." After the old man finished speaking, he touched his head and said to Zheng Fa and the others, "What I said was a mess... Actually, I don't understand what I want to say."

Zheng Fa blinked his eyes, looked at Tang Lingwu and asked, "Do you understand what Teacher Bai is saying?"

Tang Lingwu shook her head.

Zheng Fa laughed: "I didn't understand either, but Teacher Bai..."

“…”

"I'm not in a hurry."

Zheng Fa actually understood.

If the old man Bai’s previous teachings were as a teacher.

When I say these words today, I probably think of myself as an elder.

Teachers hope that their students will succeed, but elders will sometimes tell you that success is not as important as happiness.

…

At the dining table in Zheng Fa's house.

He was wearing the gloves he used when practicing the "Five Thunder Dharma Body". The gloves were connected to a transformer, which was plugged into a power source. His expression was much calmer than before.

Although the old white man's words of comfort were a little unclear, they strangely made him less anxious.

Old man Bai was right when he said, don't take everything on yourself - be it the Jiushan Sect or Senior Sister Zhang, would the entire clan be destroyed without him?

There are three Yuanying Zhenren in Jiushan Sect.

Senior Sister Zhang is even more gifted.

I am in the Qi Refining Stage myself, and to be honest, it seems a bit unfounded and even overestimating my own capabilities to think so much.

He closed his eyes and felt the electricity slowly flowing into his palms, stimulating the muscles in his body.

Zheng Fa was not wearing a shirt at this time, with his upper body naked. If there were outsiders present, they could clearly see that the muscles in his body were more than an order of magnitude larger than before.

Zheng Fa's food is now much better than when he was in Zhao's house.

Needless to say, in modern times, he has always been a loyal fan of the cafeteria aunties.

Now in Jiushan Sect, he is also a wealthy man.

Dun Dun Ling Gu is the minimum.

Under the effect of the Five Thunder Dharma Body, these foods gradually turned into streamlined muscles on his body.

But now he no longer had those mouse-like ups and downs.

In Zheng Fa's opinion, this meant that his current level of cultivation of the "Five Thunder Dharmakaya" was almost coming to an end.

As time passed, all the muscles in his body began to tremble and swell, and beads of sweat appeared on his body.

Under the light, he looked like he was wearing an exaggerated armor made of muscles.

But after a while, his muscles began to contract again, leaving only clear lines under Zheng Fa's skin.

But when he put on clothes, he looked a lot thinner.

Zheng Fa opened his eyes and stood up gently from the chair. He felt as if his whole body was light and floating. After reaching the realm of physical training, he felt a sense of harmony from the inside out.

According to the descriptions in those martial arts classics that I had seen in the Zhao Mansion before - it was probably the unity of body and mind. No, it should be the unity of body and mind to a higher level.

Zheng Fa placed his mobile phone on the dining table, turned on the camera, stood in front of the camera, and performed a set of Linghe Piercing the Clouds Hands in front of the camera.

When watching the video again, Zheng Fa discovered the difference between himself before and after the advancement - the mobile phone camera could not capture his movements at all, and even at the highest frame rate, Zheng Fa's hands were still blurry in the video.

He's faster!

Zheng Fa grinned, sat back in his seat, put on the gloves, and wanted to continue practicing the next level of "Five Thunder Dharma Body" - bone strengthening.

But after a moment, he opened his eyes in disappointment.

At each level of the Five Thunder Dharmakaya, the need for voltage intensity is leaps and bounds.

The maximum voltage of this transformer is only 300V, which is not enough for bone-strengthening practice.

Zheng Fa put away the transformer with a bit of disappointment.

It seems that this immortal treasure cannot keep up with his progress of cultivation - but maybe he can use it to shock the old man in the future. He has always been interested in the "Five Thunder Dharma Body".

…

Zheng Fazheng was sitting in his seat in the classroom, thinking about what he should rely on to continue practicing the "Five Thunder Dharma Body".

Others are concentrating on making the final sprint before the college entrance examination.

Tang Lingwu walked to his seat again.

Now, not only Wang Chen and his friends, but also a large number of classmates around Zheng Fa seemed to have turned a blind eye to Tang Lingwu coming to find Zheng Fa.

It's commonplace and nothing happens.

It was as if Tang Lingwu had always belonged here.

Or maybe, the pressure of the college entrance examination has made Wang Chen and the others have no time to care about Zheng Fa.

Tang Lingwu had a lot of things in her hands.

There was a bulging folder with a notebook on top.

Zheng Fa was stunned and looked at Tang Lingwu's face - this girl stayed up late again?

But looking at Tang Lingwu, that was not the case. Her fair little face was full of energy, and there was no sign of staying up late at all. On the contrary, her appearance had improved further because she had cultivated the "Spirit Crane Body".

"Why are you looking at me?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Tang Lingwu stopped and touched her face in surprise.

"I think you look better."

Zheng Fa spoke his mind honestly.

Tang Lingwu blushed a little.

Behind him, Wang Chen's sinister voice came: "Enough of that, please get out of here if you keep flirting!"

“…”

Aren't you studying? "...Ahem." Tang Lingwu placed the folder in front of Zheng Fa, spread it out, pointed at the drawings inside and said, "This is the design my mother asked the Architecture Institute to design. See if there is anything you want to modify."

Zheng Fa took a look and saw that it was the structure of a small manor.

Because it is on the mountainside and there is not much flat land, the area is not large and there are not many buildings.

There are only two main buildings in the drawings:

After entering the courtyard, the first thing we saw was a three-story Chinese-style building. Tang Lingwu pointed at it and said, "This is for outside visitors or patients to stay in. It's like a guest room or ward."

Behind the small building, there is a specially reserved open space.

This is reserved for Zheng Fa's subsequent farming plan.

At the end of the open space, next to the mountain wall, is an area with a question mark painted on it.

"My mother said that it would be more private for us to live here. She wanted to ask for your opinion on what kind of house you like to live in."

Zheng Fa shook his head. He didn't have high requirements in this regard. He just said to Tang Lingwu: "It's up to you. Oh, by the way, ask Teacher Bai. You all have to live there."

"Wait..." Wang Chen's voice came again, obviously he had not given up eavesdropping on the conversation between Zheng Fa and others.

"Um?"

"Your mother, build a house for him?" Wang Chen pointed at Zheng Fa, then at Tang Lingwu: "Will you two live together in the future?"

"...Aren't you concentrating on studying?"

Zheng Fa asked in confusion why this guy had been listening to his conversation with Tang Lingwu.

"I want to concentrate on studying too..." Wang Chen pointed at the "College Entrance Examination Essential Tips" in front of him and said with gritted teeth, "I'm reading here and you're talking here. I couldn't understand anything after reading it horizontally and vertically. Finally, I could see the words between the lines. Guess what it is?"

"What did you see?"

"Two words densely packed together - jealousy!" Wang Chen turned his head and asked Tang Lingwu: "Tang Lingwu, do you have a younger sister?"

"?"

Tang Lingwu looked a little confused.

"I'm not greedy for the house, I just can't bear to leave my good brother Zheng Fa..." Wang Chen said in a deep voice: "I want to be his brother-in-law."

…

Wang Chen made it difficult for Zheng Fa and Tang Lingwu to talk in the classroom. They walked to the corridor outside, and Tang Lingwu handed the notebook in her hand to Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa took the notebook and found that the handwriting inside was actually from Old Man Bai.

When he opened it again, Zheng Fa looked a little surprised.

This note was written based on the talismans and diagrams from Uncle Pang.

The first thing was to simplify Uncle Pang’s overly complicated talismans.

Then, probably with the help of Tang Lingwu, he used the previous method to find some similar sub-symbols.

On the first page of the notebook, Zheng Fa suddenly saw what the old man wrote:

"The algorithm proves that the Five Elements sub-symbol is not a special case. There are three different sub-symbols in each symbol diagram, and the Five Elements sub-symbol is just one of them."

"The Five Elements sub-symbols are probably the easiest to observe, but the other sub-symbols don't seem to be fully displayed at ordinary times."

"I speculate that each symbol should be composed of three different sub-symbols. Apart from the five-element sub-symbols, the functions of the other sub-symbols themselves are not very clear at present."

Zheng Fa flipped through it.

The handwriting in this note is very new, and even seems to be rushed.

An example of the upright shadowless talisman that Zheng Fa first condensed behind the old man:

This symbol was decomposed into three sub-symbols by the old man.

In addition to the Earth Element Sub-Character, there are two more Sub-Characters, but the meaning of these two characters themselves is not clear.

"This is……"

"Grandpa Bai has been studying the runes you gave him these past few days. I found that senior brother again and asked him to try various methods. I didn't have much hope at first, but maybe because the runes are more complete, the patterns are more obvious. The computer automatically classified these runes."

"Grandpa Bai and I did some research and found that the talisman is composed of three parts. We call it the Three-Sub-Talisman Law."

Zheng Fa pursed his lips.

Tang Lingwu put it simply.

But Zheng Fa knew the difficulty of this - the talismans that Uncle Pang gave him were more complete than those Zheng Fa had seen before.

But it is also much more complicated.

He has also been studying these symbols these days, so he naturally knows the amount of work involved.

"Teacher Bai..."

"He said he needed to catch up on some sleep for two days and asked you not to bother him."

Tang Lingwu relayed the words of the old man Bai - his words were not polite and one could tell it was the old man's tone.

Zheng Fa felt the notebook in his hand suddenly become heavy. He said softly, "This old man told me not to force myself."

"...I was kidding you." Tang Lingwu narrowed her eyes and said to him, "This is a gift."

"ah?"

"You're eighteen years old!"

Zheng Fa was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that if calculated based on the age of this body, today was indeed his eighteenth birthday.

Whether in modern times or in the Xuanwei world, he has no habit of celebrating his birthday.

No one lives there in modern times, and the conditions are not available in the Xuanwei world.

On this day in previous years, except for some software, no one remembered this incident, and no one gave him a blessing.

I didn’t expect that Old Man Bai and Tang Lingwu could actually remember it.

"...You remember all this?" He looked at the notebook in his hand and let out a breath.

"I saw it at Old Chen's place." Tang Lingwu said with a smile, "We don't have anything to give you, but luckily, this thing was made."

Zheng Fa looked at Tang Lingwu deeply, then turned his head and looked at the residential building where Old Man Bai lived. He pursed his lips and suddenly asked, "So, what Teacher Bai said before was intentional?"

"Yes!" Tang Lingwu said with a smile: "He and I have already discussed it and want to give you a surprise... But, Zheng Fa, those words are sincere."

Zheng Fa shook his head. No wonder the old man suddenly said those words.

It's not that he doubted the other person's feelings for him, but it was obvious that the old white man was a little unnatural at the time, and his words were a little inconsistent.

Now it seems that he said it deliberately so that Zheng Fa couldn't guess what the two were doing.

"Zheng Fa, Tang Lingwu, look here!"

Suddenly, a classmate's voice was heard from inside the classroom.

Zheng Fa and his friend looked up and saw a flash light up. A boy took a photo of them with his cell phone.

"What are you doing?"

"Aren't we going to take the college entrance examination?" The boy said with a smile, "I wanted to record it. You two look pretty good standing outside, so I took a picture... Here it is."

Zheng Fa looked at the other person's mobile phone screen. In the sunset, he and Tang Lingwu were standing side by side.

Tang Lingwu smiled unrestrainedly, as if she was very proud of having given Zheng Fa a surprise, and her exposed gums had not yet retracted.

Zheng Fa looked at his own face and found that he was smiling too.

He never knew that he could laugh so easily and even wildly.

"Can you send this photo to me?" he asked the boy.

"Of course!" The boy waved his hand and asked nervously, "I want to use this photo as the cover of our class album. Is it okay? If you two post this affectionate look on the Internet, it will get a higher click rate."

“…”

"Okay!" Before Zheng Fa agreed, Tang Lingwu spoke first.
