Chapter 374 Tongxian Festival
Mo Hua passed the rank determination and officially became a first-class formation master.
When the news reached Tongxian City, everyone was delighted.
This is the first and only first-class formation master who was born as a casual cultivator in Tongxian City so far.
Elder Yu decided to celebrate.
Not only to celebrate Mo Hua's becoming a first-class formation master, but also to celebrate Tongxian City's concerted efforts to kill the great monster Feng Xi.
In addition, Elder Yu also had another purpose, which was to give Mo Hua a farewell party.
Mo Hua was about to go out and travel and leave Tongxian City.
And killing the great monster and keeping Tongxian City stable, Mo Hua can be said to have made great contributions.
Elder Yu had nothing to repay, so he wanted to bid farewell to Mo Hua with a city-wide festival.
Elder Yu specially found Chief Zhou, and after several discussions, November 1 was designated as Tongxian Festival.
After Mo Hua returned from Cangyun Sect, he saw Tongxian City decorated with lights and colors, with a pre-festival atmosphere.
After knowing the whole story, Mo Hua was very happy.
After all, festivals are very lively.
Although Qingshan City is large, it is obviously not as lively as Tongxian City, and naturally not as interesting as Tongxian City.
However, Mo Hua is still a little worried:
"We have built a large formation, and the spirit stones are almost used up. Do we still have spirit stones for the festival now?"
Elder Yu said calmly, "We were poorer before, but didn't we still celebrate the festival?"
Mo Hua was slightly stunned and felt that it made sense.
Elder Yu smiled and said, "No matter what, festivals must be celebrated. It's just that we celebrate more lavishly when we are rich and live more frugally when we are poor."
"Although most of the spirit stones were used to build the large formation, the remaining spirit stones are enough for us."
"What's more, the foundations of the equipment refining business and the alchemy business are still there, and now there are mountain roads, which are convenient for travel. In a few years, Tongxian City will become more and more prosperous."
Mo Hua nodded, and he was relieved.
Then he asked with some expectation: "Will life get better and better in the future?"
Elder Yu nodded, "Don't worry, casual cultivators are not afraid of hardship. As long as they are not oppressed, life will always get better and better."
As long as they are not oppressed...
Mo Hua felt complicated when he heard this.
The way of man is to take what is not enough to support the surplus.
There should be many cultivators who are oppressed and exploited in this world, and after Tongxian City...
Elder Yu saw that Mo Hua didn't know what he was thinking, and frowned, so he patted his shoulder and smiled:
"Don't think so much, practice hard, don't lose your Tao heart, and do what you can."
Mo Hua's eyes lit up and nodded:
"Okay!"
Then they celebrated the festival happily.
He also invited Zisheng and Zixi to play together.
Mr. Zhuang agreed to accept disciples, and Aunt Xue completed her mission on this trip, so she gave the brother and sister a holiday.
And soon, they will leave Tongxian City, and it is still unknown whether they can come back.
So Aunt Xue didn't restrict the two children, wanting them to have fun and not have any regrets.
Bai Zisheng was very happy, and Bai Zixi's eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky.
On the day of Tongxian Festival, Mo Hua played the role of "landlord" and took Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi for a day.
The streets were bustling during the day and brightly lit at night.
Mo Hua led the way in front, and Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi followed behind him.
Bai Zisheng looked around with great interest, and when he saw something new, he asked:
"Mo Hua, what is that?"
"Mo Hua, is that delicious?"
"Mo Hua, this bamboo dragonfly can actually fly..."
...
As a junior apprentice, Mo Hua had to answer patiently.
Bai Zixi didn't talk so much, but when he saw a cake he had never eaten before, he would stop and watch silently.
Mo Hua understood, bought a few pieces, and shared one with Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi, eating while walking.
Although it was "buying", Mo Hua didn't have to pay spirit stones.
Because he paid, no one else wanted it.
Almost all the cultivators on the street knew Mo Hua, and they also knew that Mo Hua was a small formation master who built a big formation and killed a big monster, and now he was a first-class formation master recognized by the Dao Court.
So no one accepted Mo Hua's spirit stones.
Some cultivators who set up stalls would pick out a few good things from their own products and give them to Mo Hua.
If Mo Hua refused, they would be unhappy.
The three of them walked all the way and got a lot of things, but they didn't spend a single spirit stone.
Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi were very surprised.
Bai Zisheng secretly said: "Mo Hua, if I didn't know you, I would suspect that this street was opened by your family..."
Mo Hua didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
During the day, the street was bustling with people coming and going.
At night, when the night fell, the lanterns were hung, and the lights were shining against each other, extending to the distance, Tongxian City was another scene.
There were more interesting activities at night.
For example, the usual demon fighting drama in Tongxian City.
Because it was to celebrate the hunting of Feng Xi, the "monster beast" in the "fighting monster show" turned into a pig monster, which was huge and looked stupid.
The pig monster was disguised by the monster hunter.
Because the pig monster was huge, there were many monster hunters pretending to be it.
In addition to Da Hu and his three brothers, Da Ping and Da Zhu, and even the two adults Yu Chengyi and Yu Chengwu, they joined in the fun.
After watching the "fighting monster show", they started to eat the "pig-killing dishes".
Feng Xi had been disintegrated into black ash by Mo Hua's formation, and the pig-killing dishes here were killed by other herbivorous pig monsters.
The monster hunters killed a lot of pig monsters and handed them over to Fu Shan Lou for cooking, which was specially used for the festival day.
To celebrate the killing of the pig monster, pork must be eaten.
Every cultivator in the entire Tongxian City ate one portion.
This became a custom in Tongxian City. Every November 1st Tongxian Festival, to celebrate the killing of the pig demon Fengxi, the cultivators in Tongxian City would eat a portion of pork.
After eating the pig-killing dishes, fireworks were set off again.
This time, the fireworks array was also drawn by Mo Hua.
He added a new array on the basis of the original array.
Combining the experience gained from the Five Elements Demon-Slaying Array, using the theory of the five elements' generation and restraint, and the way of spiritual consciousness calculation, the colors of the fireworks were richer, the trajectories were clearer, and the spiritual stones consumed were also less.
Before setting off the fireworks, Mo Hua took Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi to climb onto a roof.
"This roof is from Elder Yu's house, and it is very suitable for watching fireworks."
Mo Hua said to Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi.
Bai Zisheng was stunned and whispered, "Will Elder Yu not cause trouble for you if you climb on his roof?"
"No." Mo Hua shook his head and said, "I've told Elder Yu in advance."
At most, he would break a few tiles, which is not worth much money.
Bai Zisheng nodded and was relieved.
So the three of them, a junior brother, a junior sister, and a junior brother, sat side by side on the eaves, swinging their legs, waiting to see the fireworks in the sky.
Mo Hua was also looking forward to it.
Although he drew this formation, he used a different drawing method, and he had not seen what it looked like after it was lit.
On the roof of Elder Yu's house, the three sat side by side.
Mo Hua and Bai Zisheng, each holding a roasted pork skewer in their left and right hands.
Bai Zixi held a snack box, which contained white, glutinous, bunny-shaped pastries.
The three of them were looking forward to it.
After a while, the fireworks burst.
First there was a clear sound, and the flames cut through the night sky.
Then the light of the five-color formation shot up into the sky, gathered in the air, and burst into five-color fireworks, which then scattered and burst again, one after another, passing down layer by layer, weaving a colorful sky curtain, colorful and dazzling, covering the entire night sky.
It was as if it was the grand scene when the formation was opened, with light all over the sky.
However, in this grand scene, there was no killing spirit, only prosperity and tranquility.
Mo Hua and the other two also looked up at the sky together.
The gorgeous, colorful fireworks all over the sky were imprinted in their clear eyes and remained in their memories forever.
At this moment, all the cultivators in Tongxian City raised their heads and looked at this beautiful fireworks, stunned.
All the formation masters in Tongxian City were also shocked by this scene of fireworks, and at the same time couldn't help muttering in their hearts:
"It's just a firework, why do you need such a complicated formation..."
The Tongxian Festival ended in a lively and cheerful atmosphere.
After the Tongxian Festival, Mr. Zhuang will leave.
One morning, Mo Hua said goodbye to his parents outside the city.
Also seeing him off were Elder Yu, Mr. Feng, Master Chen, Manager Zhou, Zhang Lan, as well as Da Hu, Da Zhu, Da Ping and others...
There was a huge crowd of people outside the city.
Everyone looked at Mo Hua, feeling reluctant to leave.
"You must respect your teacher and listen to Mr. Zhuang's words." Liu Ruhua said, "Also, you must take good care of yourself..."
Mo Hua nodded solemnly, his eyes a little sore.
Mo Shan didn't say anything, just touched his head and looked at him gently.
Everyone also said goodbye and said some caring words.
After a while, the Bai family's carriage came.
Mo Hua got on the carriage, poked his little head out of the carriage, and waved goodbye to everyone.
Not only did he say goodbye to his parents, so many elders, friends, acquaintances and partners.
He also said goodbye to his hometown where he was born and raised.
After that, he embarked on a long journey to see the various aspects of the world and explore the depths of the formation. He didn't know when he would be able to come back.
The carriage carried Mo Hua and went farther and farther.
Liu Ruhua stood there, reluctant to look at Mo Hua, and kept looking at his back, disappearing at the end of the road, disappearing in the mountains, disappearing in the lingering clouds, until he could no longer see him.
She then silently shed tears of parting.
...
Half a year later, at the foot of Dahei Mountain.
A huge demon-suppressing monument was completed.
This demon-suppressing monument was personally supervised by the old man of the An family. It was made of high-quality stone and could withstand wind and sun without being destroyed.
The monument was engraved with the names of the cultivators who made outstanding contributions in the battle of Tongxiancheng to kill the great demon Fengxi.
Killing the great demon is the greatest achievement of Tongxiancheng in hundreds of years, or even nearly a thousand years.
This stone tablet is also the largest demon-suppressing monument in the past thousand years.
As long as Tongxian City is there, the demon-suppressing monument will be there, and the name on the monument will also be there.
At the head of the demon-suppressing monument, in a prominent position, the name of Mr. An is engraved.
The handwriting is vigorous, strong and powerful, and it is clear at a glance from a distance.
And above Mr. An's name, there is an even more prominent name engraved:
"Mohua".
