Chapter 224 Fireworks of 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, eight or nine are best."

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

"You can't kill monsters by yourself...it's better to be killed."

Mo Hua said silently while chewing on the chicken legs.

Bai Zisheng was not convinced and glared at him gently.

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

Bai Zisheng was greatly encouraged.

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

Bai Zisheng was unconvinced, "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 a small formation master who only 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 would usually listen to Mo Hua tell 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, ambushed or deceived by monsters, so they have always been warned.

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

My ink painting skills are not high enough and I only have the sixth level of Qi Refining, so I can only stay in the outer mountains. When I talk about my experiences in Dahei Mountain, I am limited to the outer mountains.

What kind of monsters, miasma, mountain fog, dangerous places, etc. Bai Zisheng felt a little scared when he heard it, and he was also a little curious. If the outer mountains are like this, what should the inner mountains look like?

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

Regarding Uchiyama, he only heard a few words 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, fog 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 toxicity is more severe."

"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 eating enough. Ignore us."

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Zisheng asked: "Can't we kill second-grade monsters?"

"It's 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 gather them together?"

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 mountains are very large and rarely encountered. There are not many second-grade monsters. They live in the huge inner mountains, so it is not easy to encounter them."

"Furthermore, 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: "Aside 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.

"They are all there. There are demon hunters from other places who will deliberately snatch prey, and there are also some monks from other channels, all kinds of people with ulterior motives."

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

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

"The outer mountains of Dahei Mountain are connected to the Immortal City and are not connected to the outside world, 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, sex, murder and treasures often occur. Afterwards, the corpses are destroyed on the spot and no traces are left. No one knows, no ghosts are aware."

Mo Hua felt chills in his heart as he listened.

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

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.

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

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

But now he has entered Daheishan and knows what it is like to hunt monsters.

These stories that I once thought were interesting, now that I know the dangers and unpredictability in them, naturally sound different when I listen to them again.

Unknowingly, it was getting dark, and Liu Ruhua invited them to have dinner.

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

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

Liu Ruhua couldn't stay any longer, and she and Mo Hua sent them to the door.

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

There was food, drinks, stories to listen to, and people to chat with. If I go back, I can only practice and do boring homework.

Bai Zixi couldn't see his expression, but his eyes showed a hint of regret.

Mo Hua was free. Although he had to practice and practice formations every day, he could play whenever he wanted, unlike the Bai family brothers and sisters, who had to do homework according to regulations every day.

Seeing that they looked a little depressed, Mo Hua's eyes lit up slightly, and he invited them:

"Aunt Xue, there will be lanterns and fireworks on the fifteenth day, come and see them together."

Aunt Xue smiled gently at Mo Hua, but still declined:

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

Mo Hua smiled and said, "Fireworks are driven by formations. I drew the formations, and they are beautiful."

Aunt Xue was a little surprised, "You drew it?"

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded, "It took me a lot of effort to draw it!"

In fact, it didn't take long, after all, it was just some formations for fireworks, not too difficult.

Aunt Xue saw Mo Hua's confident look, and couldn't help laughing. After a moment of silence, she also nodded and said:

"Then we will come to see you when you set off the fireworks."

Bai Zisheng was overjoyed and cast a grateful look at Mo Hua. Bai Zixi's eyes also lit up slightly when he looked at Mo Hua.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the night had arrived, and the streets were decorated with lights everywhere.

Mo Hua checked the fireworks array again and confirmed that there was no problem, then nodded.

The fireworks array was a array formed by connecting ordinary fireworks arrays in parallel. It was less than the first grade and had few array patterns, so it was easy for Mo Hua to draw.

The fireworks array was drawn on both sides of the river bank, with the river bank stones as the array medium. As long as the spirit stones were crushed and injected with spiritual energy, the array could be activated and fireworks could be launched into the sky.

Mo Hua did not use paper as the array medium because paper was disposable. After the array was activated, the array paper could not bear the array spiritual power and would be destroyed.

With soil and stone as the array medium, the array can be operated many times.

In this way, not only on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but also on every festival in the future, the array can be activated to release fireworks for celebration.

Mo Hua went to Elder Yu to reimburse the spirit stones used for the fireworks array.

Because the array was not complicated and the spirit stones consumed were not many, Elder Yu readily agreed.

At the time of Xu, Mo Hua opened the array.

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 was opened, after fifteen breaths, the formation pattern was activated.

The colorful formation patterns on both sides of the river bank lit up one by one, and then condensed into colorful lights, rising suddenly and flying to the dark night sky, blooming dazzling fireworks, layer upon layer, one after another, like thousands of trees and flowers, stars and rain.

The dark night was like a base cloth, and the fireworks bloomed, like gorgeous embroidery, weaving a gorgeous and colorful brocade on the night.

The sky was dazzling and beautiful.

For a moment, countless cultivators looked up at the night sky, at the gorgeous fireworks, watching the fireworks bloom and illuminate the streets and alleys of Tongxian City.
