Chapter 119 Trap

Everything is prepared, and failure is inevitable.

Since you are going to enter the Great Black Mountain, you must be fully prepared.

The environment of the Great Black Mountain is dangerous, with poisonous creatures everywhere, miasma everywhere, and monsters everywhere.

Monsters will not reason with you. Basically, they will eat people when they see them, and they will kill people even if they don't eat people. They will cut open the monks' stomachs and walk away.

Mo Hua grew up in Tongxian City. His father is a monster hunter. He has been exposed to the dangers of the Great Black Mountain since he was a child.

If you rush into the mountain, you will die if you are not careful, and it is very likely that there will be no body left.

Therefore, if you want to go into the mountain, you must consider everything carefully and have a plan in advance, so as not to encounter danger, be caught off guard, and hang your life by a thread.

"My parents only have me as a son." Mo Hua said silently in his heart.

One day, Liu Ruhua sent some beef and vegetables to Jiang Yun and asked her to take them back and cook them for the children.

Jiang Yun refused, saying that she couldn't carry so many things.

The storage bags used by Qi Refining cultivators are relatively cheap and have relatively small spaces, so they really can't hold too many things.

"Aunt Jiang, I'll take it back for you." Mo Hua volunteered.

"How can that be done?"

"No problem, I just happened to have something to do with Uncle Chu."

"Really?" Jiang Yun asked in confusion.

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded.

Jiang Yun no longer refused, carrying the storage bag, and walked in front, while Mo Hua followed her with two big baby cabbages in her arms.

Along the way, Jiang Yun looked back from time to time, reminding Mo Hua to be careful, and asking Mo Hua if she was tired and if she wanted to take a rest.

After walking for about a cup of tea, they arrived at Jiang Yun's home.

Jiang Yun's home was very simple, with two or three rooms, mottled walls, and some tables and chairs, which were also very old and missing limbs.

Fortunately, the kitchen was still full of smoke, at least there was no problem with food and clothing.

Jiang Yun was a little embarrassed, "The family is a little shabby..."

"It's okay, Aunt Jiang." Mo Hua smiled.

Most of the families of independent cultivators in Tongxian City are like this, simple and shabby.

Mo Hua's family was slightly better before, but that was because Liu Ruhua was frugal and Mo Shan was good at hunting monsters and was strong. There were no major changes in the family, so although they were poor, they could still make ends meet.

But the premise of all this is that there are no accidents.

Once an independent cultivator's family encounters an accident, the family will immediately fall into ruin. At that time, even making a living will become a problem, let alone practicing Taoism for immortality.

Aunt Jiang's husband was seriously injured while hunting monsters. The family was empty and had no income. There was also a crying child at home. Even if she cried all day, she still had no way to help.

Later, she helped in the restaurant and earned some spiritual stones. After her husband's injury improved, she was able to supplement some household expenses, which made life better.

The life of a casual cultivator is far more fragile than imagined, but despite this, everyone is still trying to survive.

Aunt Jiang's mother-in-law was coaxing the child, and when she saw Mo Hua, she greeted him warmly.

The child also leaned forward, with a pair of black eyes, curiously looking at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua took out a little cloth tiger and gave it to him. The child said in a muffled voice, "Thank you, brother~", and then held the little tiger in his arms and didn't let go, crying excitedly.

Mo Hua smiled, and then went to find Jiang Yun's husband, Chu Guangshan.

Chu Guangshan was very surprised to see Mo Hua, but he was very happy to hear that Mo Hua had something to ask him.

"Tell me, what's the matter, as long as I can do it, leave it to me!"

"Uncle Chu, I want to ask, how to use the trap?" Mo Hua asked.

The little cat demon who accompanied Mo Hua to practice the Water Step before was caught by Chu Guangshan with a trap.

Although young monsters are not strong, they are highly alert, have sharp perceptions, and are familiar with the environment. Under normal circumstances, they will not fall into the traps set by cultivators.

It is amazing that Chu Guangshan can use traps to catch monsters and even catch them alive.

Although part of the reason is that Mo Hua drew a wooden binding array on the trap, it is not easy for the monster to break free.

But on the other hand, it at least shows that Chu Guangshan has very experienced and knowledge in setting traps.

There are so many monster hunters, not everyone has the patience and care to study traps.

Chu Guangshan hesitated.

"If it is inconvenient, forget it." Mo Hua said hurriedly.

It is indeed a bit abrupt to ask such a skill that relies on for a living.

Chu Guangshan was stunned for a moment, then smiled:

"What's the inconvenience? I'm glad you asked me, but..."

Chu Guangshan paused, then said:

"These are trivial tricks. Don't spend too much time on them. You should practice more and learn more formations. That's the future..."

"As for me, I'm half useless. I can't hunt monsters, so I can only spend some time on these little ways and make some money. Otherwise, your Aunt Jiang... will suffer too much..."

Chu Guangshan sighed, looking self-deprecating.

Mo Hua was touched, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Knowing the world is knowledge, and practicing Taoism is broad and profound, encompassing everything. The big way is Tao, and the small way is also Tao."

Chu Guangshan was slightly surprised, and then smiled: "I don't know where you learned these, but they make sense. Since you don't mind, I will teach you all. But I still say that these things are small tricks and are not worth spending too much time on."

"Yeah, don't worry, I won't fall behind in practice and formations."

Chu Guangshan nodded.

"The trap is actually quite simple, but it requires patience and carefulness."

"When setting up traps, you need to observe the mountain environment, guess where the monsters will come from and where they will go, and place traps on the path they must pass..."

"After setting up the trap, you need to eliminate the traces. The vegetation, trees and rocks, what they were before, will be the same after. You also need to eliminate the auras. Some auras cannot be eliminated, so you have to learn to cover them up..."

"How to cover it up?" Mo Hua asked.

"Monsters like to eat fishy rot. You can use demon blood or rotten meat to cover up the smell, or you can use bloody grass and other herbs with their own fishy smell."

"I will draw a few pictures for you later on how to make the trap. It is very simple. You can add some formations yourself and the effect should be better."

…

"Finally, be careful of the monster pretending to be dead. The monster is cunning and will occasionally pretend to be dead when it falls into a trap. When you get closer to check, it will suddenly attack. Nine times out of ten, you will not be able to guard against it."

Chu Guangshan will do everything one by one.

Mo Hua nodded frequently after hearing this.

When Mo Hua was about to say goodbye, Chu Guangshan looked hesitant and hesitated to speak.

"Uncle Chu, is there anything else?"

"Nothing, nothing."

Chu Guangshan waved his hands quickly, but looking at his expression, it was obvious that something was wrong, but he didn't feel comfortable speaking.

Mo Huaxiao said: "Aunt Jiang treats me very well, and you taught me how to use traps. If you have anything, just tell me."

Chu Guangshan's face turned red, he hesitated for a long time, and then he said:

"I want to wait for Zhou'er to grow up, can you teach him some formations..."

Zhou'er is the son of Chu Guangshan and Jiang Yun, the child that Mo Hua met just now.

Chu Guangshan himself was injured by the monster. Although he did not die, he would not be able to hunt monsters for the rest of his life, and it would be difficult to make a living.

He didn't want his son to follow his old path, licking blood with the tip of a knife, and being frightened every day. If he was not careful, he would lose his way of survival. So he wanted his son to learn some formations so that he could make a living in the future.

He had to become an apprentice to learn formation techniques, but he couldn't afford the spiritual stones.

Then he could only ask for ink painting, but he couldn't afford the payment for ink painting, so he spoke like this, feeling ashamed and ashamed.

But he had no choice but to do so. Even though it was difficult to speak, he had to do so for the sake of his son.

Mo Hua was slightly startled and thought for a moment.

Chu Guangshan quickly said: "Of course, if Zhou'er is stupid and doesn't have this talent, forget it..."

Chu Guangshan said this, but there was still hope in his eyes, and he even looked a little humble.

Mo Hua looked a little sad...

He pretended not to see anything and just smiled and said:

"Okay, but we have to wait until Zhou'er grows up. Even if his talent is not good enough, as long as he can learn a few formations, he can do deals with merchants and earn some spiritual stones. In the future, not to mention becoming rich and powerful, he should have enough food and clothing. of."

The stone in Chu Guangshan's heart fell to the ground, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

He looked at the ink painting, his mood fluctuated for a moment, and his eyes were slightly red. The words of gratitude came to my lips, but they felt too thin and I didn’t know how to say them properly.

Mo Hua said goodbye to him with a smile.

Chu Guangshan sent the ink paintings out of the house and then to the street. When he saw the sign of "Liu Ji Restaurant" in front of him, he stopped, but his eyes kept sending the ink paintings home.
