Asking About Longevity Chapter 224

Chapter 224 Fireworks from thousands of families

Mo Shan smiled and nodded, "Yes."

 “Is the monster difficult to deal with?”

“It is indeed difficult to deal with. Monster beasts have deep blood, rough skin and thick flesh. Only five or six monks of the same realm can hunt down one monster beast. To be on the safe side, it is best to hunt eight or nine.”

Bai Zisheng thought for a moment and asked: "Then do you think I can kill the monster by myself?"

 “It's not enough to kill monsters by one's own strength, but it's better to be killed.”

Mo Hua said silently while chewing on the chicken legs.

Bai Zisheng was unconvinced and glared at him lightly.

Mo Shan laughed and said, "It's not possible now. In the future, when your cultivation level is high, you will probably be able to do a lot."

 Bai Zisheng was greatly encouraged.

“Dad, it's wrong to lie.” Mo Hua said.

Bai Zisheng was unconvinced and said, "Uncle Mo is a demon hunter, so he must know better than you."

 He had asked Mo Hua before if he could hunt monsters by himself.

Mo Hua said no, and Bai Zisheng was a little dissatisfied, but Mo Hua had fought against monsters before, and he had not, so Mo Hua's words were somewhat credible.

 But now Uncle Mo says that he has great potential, and maybe he will be able to hunt monsters on his own in the future.

After all, Uncle Mo is a genuine demon hunter, and Mo Hua is just a small formation master who relies on formations and opportunism to trap monsters to death.

Mo Shan added: "Even if you can really kill the monster by yourself, it's best to find some companions to take care of each other. Monsters are extremely cunning."

Bai Zisheng nodded, "Uncle Mo, don't worry, I know it well."

He usually listens to Mo Hua's stories about hunting monsters, either from Mo Hua's personal experience or from what Mo Hua heard from others.

 There are many monster hunters in the story who lost their lives in vain because they were accidentally attacked by monsters, ambushed or deceived by monsters, so they have always been warned.

Bai Zisheng then curiously asked: "How much more dangerous are the inner mountains of Daheishan than the outer mountains?"

The ink painting is not enough, only six floors of gas refining, so they can only stay in the outer mountains, and they usually talk about the hearing of Dahei Mountain on weekdays, which are also limited to Waishan.

Bai Zisheng was a little scared to hear about monsters, miasma, mountain fog, dangerous places, etc., and at the same time he was also a little curious. If the outer mountains are like this, what should the inner mountains look like?

Mo Hua ate meat and listened carefully with his cheeks puffed out. He had never been to Neishan, but he would go there sooner or later.

He only heard a few words about Uchiyama from other demon hunters, and didn't know much about it.

Seeing two pairs of black eyes staring at him, Mo Shan sat down and spoke patiently:

“Miasma, mist forests, poisonous swamps, etc., all the things that are found in the outer mountains are also found in the inner mountains, and the miasma is thicker, the fog is deeper, and the poison is more serious.”

“Most of the monsters in the inner mountain are late-stage first-grade monsters and are extremely powerful. If you are unlucky and encounter second-grade monsters, you will really have a narrow escape.”

Mo Hua asked: "Dad, have you ever encountered a second-grade monster?"

Mo Shan nodded, "I've only seen it from a distance. The blood was so strong that it dyed the whole forest red. We were lucky. We discovered it early and escaped early. The monster seemed to be taking a nap after being full. Ignore us."

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Zisheng asked: "Can't you kill the second-grade monster?"

"It's very difficult to kill." Mo Shan sighed, "There are as few as five or six, as many as seven or eight foundation-building monks. How can it be so easy to assemble."

Mo Hua was a little worried, "Dad, will you encounter second-grade monsters again in the future?"

Seeing Mo Hua's concerned gaze, Mo Shan felt warm in his heart, smiled and said:

“The inner mountain is very big, and it is rare to encounter it. There are not many second-grade monsters, and they live in the huge inner mountain, so it is not easy to encounter them.”

“And the blood energy of second-grade monsters is too strong and can be detected from a long distance. As long as you stay alert and avoid them in advance, your life will generally not be in danger.”

Mo Hua nodded.

Mo Shan continued: "Apart from the environment and monsters, the most dangerous thing in the inner mountain is actually the people."

Mo Hua and Bai Zisheng looked at each other, both a little surprised.

“Is it a demon hunter or another monk?” Mo Hua asked.

"There are all of them. There are demon hunters from other places who will deliberately rob prey, and there are also some monks who have other methods, all kinds of people, with ulterior motives."

Mo Hua asked curiously: "Why haven't I met these monks in the outer mountains?"

Mo Shan smiled and explained: "Dahei Mountain is very big, the mountains are majestic and spread, and they are also connected to other areas. Tongxian City is only a part of Dahei Mountain..."

“The outer mountains of Daheishan are connected to the fairy city and are not connected to other places, but the inner mountains are different.”

“The mountain roads in the inner mountains are more complicated and extend in all directions. Monks in the southern boundary must pass through the inner mountains if they want to enter the city or take advantage of the roads.”

"The inner mountains are cold and secluded, people's hearts are depressed, and they are prone to evil thoughts. Robbery of wealth and sex, murders and treasures often occur. Afterwards, the corpses are destroyed and no traces are left on the spot. No one knows it, and no ghosts are aware of it." Mo Hua felt chills in his heart when he heard it.

  Monsters are dangerous, and people's hearts are even more dangerous.

 The people who eat people in this world may not be monsters, they may also be humans.

Mo Shan saw that the faces of Mo Hua and Bai Zisheng were tense and their expressions were a little solemn. Then he realized that it was not appropriate to talk about these topics on such a festive day as the New Year, so he changed the topic and talked about some interesting things about hunting monsters.

Bai Zisheng listened to it for the first time, and he listened with great interest.

Mo Hua was okay, he had already heard some of the stories, and Bai Zisheng just listened to the rest.

 It's just that now he has entered Daheishan and knows what it is like to hunt monsters.

These stories that I once thought were interesting can now be understood to be dangerous and unpredictable, and they sound natural and different again.

Unknowingly, it was getting late, and Liu Ruhua left them to have dinner.

Bai Zisheng was looking forward to it, but Aunt Xue declined politely:

“Thank you, Sister Liu, we have disturbed you for so long, it's time to go back.”

Liu Ruhua couldn't stay any longer, so He Mohua sent them to the door.

Bai Zisheng was a little reluctant to leave and didn't really want to go back.

There is food, drink, stories to listen to, and people to chat with. When I go back, I can only practice and do boring homework.

Bai Zixi's expression could not be seen, but there was a hint of regret in her eyes.

Mo Hua himself is unrestrained. Although he has to cultivate and practice formations every day, he can play at any time when he wants to. Unlike the two brothers and sisters of the Bai family, who have to do homework according to regulations every day.

Seeing that their expressions were a little downcast and Mo Hua's eyes brightened slightly, he invited:

“Aunt Xue, there will be lanterns and fireworks on the 15th. Let's watch them together.”

Aunt Xue smiled gently at the ink painting, but still declined:

"We appreciate your kindness, but we won't watch the fireworks."

Mo Hua smiled and said: "The fireworks are driven by formations. I drew the formations. They look great."

Aunt Xue was a little surprised, "Did you draw it?"

 “Yeah.” Mo Hua nodded, “I spent a lot of effort to draw it well!”

 In fact, it didn't take long. After all, it was just some formations for fireworks, so it wasn't too difficult.

Seeing Mo Hua's confident look, Aunt Xue couldn't help but laugh. She pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:

“Then when you set off the fireworks, let's watch.”

Bai Zisheng was overjoyed and cast a grateful look at the ink painting. Bai Zixi's eyes also shone slightly when looking at the ink painting.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, night has arrived, and the streets are decorated with lights and colorful lights.

Mo Hua checked the fireworks array again and confirmed that there was no problem before nodding.

The fireworks array is a complex array formed by ordinary fireworks arrays connected in parallel. It is less than one level and has a small number of array patterns. It is very easy to draw with ink.

Firework formations are painted on both sides of the river embankment, using river embankment stones as the formation medium. As long as the spiritual stones are crushed and spiritual energy is injected, the formation can be activated and fireworks will be fired into the sky.

 Ink painting does not use paper as the formation medium because paper is disposable. After the formation is activated, the formation paper cannot carry the spiritual power of the formation and will be destroyed accordingly.

And earth and stone are used as formation media, and the formation can be run multiple times.

This way, not only on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but also on every festival in the future, you can activate the formation and set off fireworks to celebrate.

Mo Hua went to Elder Yu to reimburse him for the spiritual stones used in the fireworks array.

Since the formation was not complicated and the amount of spiritual stones consumed was not too much, Elder Yu readily agreed.

At Xu hour, Mo Hua activated the formation.

 After that, Mo Hua ran to the stone bridge and watched the fireworks with his parents, Bai Zisheng, Bai Zixi and Aunt Xue.

 After the formation is activated, fifteen breaths have passed before the formation is activated.

Colorful patterns on both sides of the river embankment lit up one after another, and then condensed into colorful rays of light, which suddenly rose and flew into the dark night sky, blooming with dazzling fireworks, layer upon layer, one after another, like thousands of trees and flowers, stars and falling rain.

The dark night is like a base cloth, and the fireworks bloom like gorgeous embroidery, weaving into a gorgeous and colorful brocade on the night.

 The sky is filled with dazzling lights and is so beautiful.

For a moment, countless monks looked up at the night sky, at the gorgeous fireworks, watching the fireworks blooming and lighting up the streets and alleys of Tongxian City.
