Chapter 24 Seeking the Way

When Mo Hua went to see the fat steward again, he was told that the market had changed.

Youyuanzhai no longer accepts the formations of the open fire formation and the solid earth formation.

Mo Hua was stunned and said suspiciously: "The open fire formation is used for lighting, and the solid earth formation is used for building houses. Unless no one lives in Tongxian City, there will be no market for it."

The fat steward blamed Mo Hua in his heart. This kid is not smart, it is not a good thing. It is not easy to deceive. He simply stopped making excuses. The more excuses he made, the more difficult it was to justify himself. He waved his hand directly:

"How do I know this? The market is this market, and I can't do anything about it!"

Mo Hua was speechless. He had only saved half of the spirit stones for learning the skills, so he had to ask: "Then what formations do you accept?"

The fat steward coughed and took out a formation diagram. The four words "Golden Stone Formation Diagram" were written on the cover.

"Now we are collecting the Gold and Stone Formation, which also contains four formation patterns, and is not much different from the Solid Earth Formation."

Mo Hua looked at the formation diagram and asked, "Manager, what is the Gold and Stone Formation used for?"

The fat manager said, "It is a bit similar to the Solid Earth Formation. Both are used to reinforce doors, windows and walls when building caves or monks' residences, but one is to reinforce earth and wood, and the other is to reinforce gold and stone."

Mo Hua frowned, "It is similar to the Solid Earth Formation. No one uses the Solid Earth Formation, but someone uses the Gold and Stone Formation?"

The fat manager glared at Mo Hua and said hard, "This is the market, don't ask so many questions, kid! ”

“Then is this formation also three spirit stones per set?”

Originally it should be…

The fat steward felt a little distressed, but still raised the price:

“This one should also be three spirit stones, but it is relatively scarce recently, so the price has been raised a bit, and it is four spirit stones per set, but not many are accepted, only five sets every half month.

It is relatively scarce, and he is not allowed to draw more?

Mo Hua felt that the fat steward was a little strange, but this was the business of Youyuanzhai, and he couldn't ask too much, as long as he could make spirit stones.

If all the paintings were successful, he could make twenty spirit stones every half month, which can be said to be quite generous.

“Okay, deal!”

The fat steward breathed a sigh of relief, and directly pulled out a storage bag from under the counter and handed it to Mo Hua as if it had been prepared in advance.

Mo Hua took the storage bag, checked it, confirmed that it was the "Golden Stone Formation Map" and five sets of paper and ink, and then bowed to the fat steward and said goodbye.

When he was about to reach the door, the fat steward couldn't help but call him:

“Mo Hua. "

Mo Hua turned around, and the fat steward hesitated and asked: "Do you think this formation is difficult?"

Mo Hua thought about it, all of them have four array patterns, and they are similar to the solid earth formation, so it is not particularly difficult, so he said: "It's okay."

Mo Hua turned around and walked a few steps, then turned back and added: "My brother should be able to draw it."

"Oh," the fat steward looked at him with a complicated expression, nodded and said: "Draw it well."

"By the way," the fat steward called Mo Hua again and said: "My last name is Mo, the Mo of Mo's anger, you can just call me Steward Mo."

Mo Hua nodded, "Okay, Steward Mo, I remember it. ”

Mo Hua returned to Tongxian Sect and took the time to study the Gold and Stone Formation. Because it was similar to the Solid Earth Formation, and thanks to the fact that he had asked Teacher Yan for advice on how to draw the Solid Earth Formation, it was not too difficult for him to comprehend it.

One day before the formation class, Teacher Yan had the formation homework that had been corrected before handed down. Mo Hua's formation diagram only got a "B" grade.

Mo Hua looked left and right, and compared it with the sect's "Detailed Explanation of Formations". He found that he had not made any mistakes in his drawings, so why was it only a "B"?

Mo Hua was a little puzzled.

The disciple sitting next to him saw the "B" on Mo Hua's formation diagram and shouted, "Wow, Mo Hua, you only got a B."

Mo Hua looked at the "C" on his formation diagram and said nothing.

The disciple quickly covered his "C" with his hand, chuckled, and then asked curiously, "Why did you only get a B?"

Mo Hua also asked in confusion, "I didn't make any mistakes, I don't know why it was only a B. ”

“You didn’t draw it wrong, how could the teacher only give you B?”

Mo Hua showed him the formation diagram, “Can you see what’s wrong?”

The disciple said confidently: “If I could see it, I wouldn’t get only “C”!”

The other disciples sitting around also stretched their necks, looked at Mo Hua’s formation diagram, and then said:

“It seems that there is nothing wrong with it.”

“Mo Hua, did you offend the teacher?”

“Be careful that the teacher will punish you.”

“Teacher Yan is not such a person…”

Before he finished speaking, Teacher Yan walked into the cultivation room, and a group of disciples quickly retracted their necks, quietly acting like quails, not daring to breathe.

Teacher Yan taught the class as usual, and said at the end of the class:

“Practicing Taoism is like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat, and the way of formation is the same. You must not slack off and waste your time and talent in vain. "

After saying this, Instructor Yan looked around sternly, and finally looked at Mo Hua, saying: "Mo Hua, come with me."

"Yes." Mo Hua stood up respectfully and followed Instructor Yan out of the monastery.

Seeing Instructor Yan leave, the disciples in the room gathered their heads again:

"It's over, it's over, Mo Hua is in trouble now."

"The instructor said someone was slacking off, are you talking about Mo Hua?"

"But I'm slacking off too, why didn't the instructor look for me?"

"How can you compare with Mo Hua? Mo Hua draws formations so well, and the instructor values ​​him very much."

"Fortunately, the instructor doesn't value me, don't value me..."

Mo Hua followed Instructor Yan, out of the cultivation room, through the alchemy room, the weapon refining room, and finally out of Tongxuan Peak.

Instructor Yan didn't say a word along the way. He would nod or bow in response when a disciple or other instructor greeted the elders of the sect.

Instructor Yan took Mo Hua all the way to the living room on Tongming Peak.

Tongming Peak is where the head, elders, instructors and inner disciples practice and live. This is Mo Hua's first time here. The environment is indeed much quieter and more beautiful. Many courtyards are planted with colorful spiritual flowers and herbs, and some spiritual animals such as golden pheasants are strolling leisurely.

Only in Tongming Peak can these golden pheasants be so leisurely. If they are placed in Tongxuan Peak, they will definitely not see the sun the next day.

Mo Hua remembered the burnt chicken leg that Shuanghu handed to him.

There is a formation outside Instructor Yan's living room, and there is a small Bagua plate on the door. This should be arranged by Instructor Yan himself. There is no such thing at the door of other courtyards and living rooms.

Teacher Yan drew a few strokes on the Bagua plate, and a light flashed on the door, and then it opened.

After entering the house, Teacher Yan sat in front of the desk and asked Mo Hua directly:

"Do you want to be a formation master?"

Mo Hua said modestly: "My talent is limited, I am afraid I can't be a formation master."

Teacher Yan frowned and said: "Whether you want to or not is one thing, whether you have talent is another. Don't just look at the results and lose your original intention. All living things in the world will die one day, so don't live because of this?"

Hearing this, Mo Hua said seriously: "My disciple wants to be a formation master!"

"Why do you want to?"

"Practicing Taoism is difficult, and formations can make a living."

"What else?"

"A cultivator seeks the Way of Heaven and becomes an immortal. Understanding the formation can help one seek the Way of Heaven."

Teacher Yan frowned and said, "The Way of Heaven is far away. A cultivator may not be able to see it in his entire life."

Mo Hua said, "As the teacher said, the Way of Heaven is in heaven, and the Way of Man is in man. Since cultivators seek the Way of Heaven, no matter whether they finally get it or not, they must not lose the heart to seek the Way of Heaven."

Teacher Yan was silent for a moment, nodded, "Come to me after class every day in the future. You go back first today."

"Yes." Mo Hua didn't understand, but still bowed and said goodbye.

Teacher Yan watched Mo Hua leave, and after a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's a good seedling."
