Asking About Longevity Chapter 125

Chapter 125 Entering the Mountain (Third update)

"Monster hunting is dangerous. I didn't want you to do it originally, but after you learn the body skills and have the ability to protect yourself, I will teach you all the skills of hunting monsters."

Mo Shan looked at the ink paintings and said: "These are the lessons learned by demon hunters over tens of thousands of years with their lives and blood. You should learn from them. Even if you don't become a demon hunter in the future, they will definitely be useful."

Mo Hua had a serious face and nodded solemnly.

“The first point of hunting monsters is not to hunt monsters, but to become familiar with the mountains.”

“The terrain of Dahei Mountain is complex and the mountains are intricate. You must first be familiar with the mountain roads and know where there are peaks, cliffs, caves, where monsters are infested, where the miasma is strong, and what spiritual herbs are poisonous...”

“If you are familiar with these, when you encounter danger, even if your cultivation is not enough, you will know how to avoid it and you will not lose your life.”

"On the contrary, if you don't know the mountains and geography, you will either inhale the miasma, eat poisonous weeds, or fall into the demon cave by mistake, then no matter how high your cultivation level is, it will be difficult to get out of Daheishan alive."

“I will take you through the outer mountains, and you will carefully memorize the mountain topography and the locations of some creeks, miasma, poisonous swamps, and dense forests...”

After Mo Shan finished speaking, he walked forward along the mountain road.

Ink Hua followed closely behind, memorizing the mountain road at his feet and the scenery along the road.

 When encountering some dangerous places, Mo Shan would stop deliberately and talk to Mo Hua carefully.

 For example, where the miasma is weak and on which mountain top the miasma is strong, do not stay in a place where the miasma is strong for more than half an hour, otherwise the miasma will enter the body and cause dizziness.

Some dense forests will have thick fog. If you accidentally enter, you will lose your way. Unless the mountain fog dissipates after noon, you will never get out.

 There are some poisonous monsters in the poisonous swamps. Their skin color changes with the vegetation, so you need to be careful.

Which mountain peaks will be haunted by big monsters? What are the signs when big monsters appear...

Walking from morning to night in this way only covers a small part of the outer mountains of Daheishan.

When it was getting dark, Mo Shan brought Mo Hua to a small camp on the mountainside.

The camp is a small cave. The entrance is covered with vegetation and sealed with an iron door. A simple formation is painted on the door to prevent being attacked by monsters.

The camp is not big, but there are some dry food, weeds and a few simple stone beds.

"This is a temporary camp for monster hunters to rest or spend the night. It is relatively simple, but it is enough for shelter."

Mo Shan pointed at the iron door again and said: "There is a formation on the door. It is difficult to use but it can be used. If you are chased by a monster and have nowhere to hide, you can hide in the camp and activate the formation. Generally, monsters cannot enter. Come."

Mo Hua nodded.

 Father and son spent the night at the camp.

 When it was dark the next day, I got up again and continued walking along the mountain road.

Moshan walked and explained along the way.

In this way, after traveling day and night in Dahei Mountain for seven full days, Mo Shan finally completed the outer mountains of Dahei Mountain with his ink paintings.

 After returning home, Mo Hua's whole body ached, his calves were swollen, and he was dizzy due to inhaling too much miasma. Even though he had taken Pimias Pill, his forehead still had a dull pain.

Liu Ruhua asked Mr. Feng to prescribe Qingshen Decoction for Mo Hua to take. He also applied herbs to reduce swelling on his body. Seeing that Mo Hua's face was still pale, he felt very distressed and complained to Mo Shan:

“Just teach me slowly, so you don't have to stay in the mountains for seven days and suffer so much.”

Seeing that his wife was angry, Mo Shan also explained in a low voice: "Sooner or later, you will have to suffer these hardships. If you suffer a little now, it will be easier in the future."

Liu Ruhua also knew this, but she was still angry in her heart. She only gave Mo Shan some porridge and steamed buns at night, without even giving him a plate of pickles.

Mo Shan couldn't laugh or cry.

 After two days, Mo Hua recovered and his body was fine.

Thinking that he had not been there for almost ten days, Mo Hua brought some wine and meat to pay his respects to Mr. Zhuang and explained the whole story.

Mr. Zhuang saw that Mo Hua's face was still a little pale, so he asked him to go back and rest. He said that he didn't have many rules here and asked Mo Hua not to take it to heart.

Mo Hua brought some crispy snacks and pine nuts to Puppet Lao, and then some food and fruit wine to the Bai brothers and sisters.

Bai Zisheng heard that Mo Hua could go into the Dahei Mountains to hunt monsters, and he was extremely envious. He was under strict control by Aunt Xue. Let alone hunting monsters, it was difficult to get around.

Mo Hua patted his shoulder sympathetically and was helpless.

A few days later, Mo Shan brought Mo Hua into Daheishan again.

This time there is no need to explain everything in detail, just to be familiar with the mountain terrain, so it only took three or four days to complete the outer mountain.

From now on, whenever Mo Shan has free time, he will take ink paintings to the mountains for a walk.

 Ink paintings are also becoming more and more familiar with the mountains outside Daheishan.

Mo Shan thought it was almost done, so he took Mo Hua to a cliff in the outer mountain.

The cliffs are steep and the rocks are rugged. Looking down, you can have an unobstructed view of the scenery on the mountainside.

After Mo Shan confirmed that the surroundings were safe, he said to Mo Hua: "You are almost familiar with Waishan. Now I will teach you what to pay attention to when fighting monsters."

Mo Hua sat cross-legged on the rock and listened carefully.

“The rules of conduct for a demon hunter are: first, know yourself and your enemy, and second, be prepared beforehand.”

"Knowing yourself and knowing the enemy means that you have to recognize your own strength. Whether your cultivation is deep, what spells, martial arts, spiritual weapons and other tricks are available. At the same time, you need to know the monsters, including their realm, blood, monster power and their habits. Monsters Where is the strength, where is the weakness, whether it is sinister, whether it will cheat death, etc."

"Then measure each other's strength. If you can kill, you can do it. If you can't kill, don't act rashly."

"If you are halfway through the fight and find that something has changed, and you cannot kill the monsters that you originally could kill, you must make plans early and retreat in time. Otherwise, when your spiritual power is exhausted, you will be the one who dies."

“Being prepared means taking precautions and planning everything thoroughly in advance. Especially when facing powerful monsters, whether you can kill them, what to use to kill them, **** them, and what to do if an accident occurs, all must be considered in advance.”

“If you do not plan well in advance and act rashly, if something goes wrong, death or injury will be inevitable.”

Mo Shanzai explained a lot in detail.

Mo Hua listened attentively and understood it carefully.

"Listen now. If you fight against monsters more often, you will naturally understand."

Mo Hua nodded.

“There's one more thing you have to remember,” Mo Shan warned again, “No matter what happens, don't take action if you can, but if you do, you must be ruthless!”

 “Hard?” Mo Hua was a little surprised.

“Monster hunters take monsters as their enemies. If you are not ruthless, the monsters will be ruthless. If you don't kill the monsters, you will only be killed by the monsters.”

“What's the cruel method?”

Mo Shan raised his eyebrows and said:

“When you don't take action, don't show any murderous intent; when it's time to take action, don't hesitate at all.”

“As soon as the opponent reveals a flaw, strike first and try to kill him with one strike, without giving the opponent a chance to take action.”

 “The opponent who doesn't take action is the best opponent!”

Mo Hua was a little surprised when his father with thick eyebrows and big eyes said such words.

Mo Hua hesitated for a while and couldn't help but confirm: "Isn't this a bit... a defeat without force?"

Mo Shan's expression condensed and he said solemnly: "There is no victory or defeat for a demon hunter, only life and death. No matter how victorious you win, you can still live. No matter how glorious your defeat is, you are still dead."

After Mo Shan finished speaking, he touched Mo Hua's head:

“It's not easy to live as a casual cultivator. If you can survive, you should try your best to survive.”
