Chapter 224 Fireworks of Thousands of Families

Mo Shan smiled and nodded, "Yes."

"Are the monsters difficult to deal with?"

"Indeed, they are difficult to deal with. Monsters have strong blood and thick skin and flesh. It takes five or six cultivators of the same realm to kill a monster. To be on the safe side, it is best to have eight or nine."

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

"I can't kill the monster by myself... I'm better off being killed."

Mo Hua said silently while gnawing on a chicken leg.

Bai Zisheng was not convinced and glared at him lightly.

Mo Shan laughed, "Not yet, but when I have a higher level of cultivation in the future, I think I can do a lot."

Bai Zisheng was greatly encouraged.

"Dad, lying is wrong." Mo Hua said.

Bai Zisheng was not convinced, "Uncle Mo is a monster hunter, he must know more than you."

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

When Mo Hua said no, Bai Zisheng was a little dissatisfied, but Mo Hua had fought with monsters, and he hadn't, so Mo Hua's words were somewhat credible.

But now Uncle Mo said that he had great potential, and maybe he could really hunt monsters on his own in the future.

After all, Uncle Mo was a real monster hunter, and Mo Hua was just a small formation master who relied on formations and tricks to kill monsters.

Mo Shan said again: "Even if you can really kill monsters on your own, it's better to find some companions to take care of each other. Monsters are extremely cunning."

Bai Zisheng nodded, "Uncle Mo, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

He would usually listen to Mo Hua's stories about hunting monsters, both those that Mo Hua had experienced personally and those that Mo Hua had heard from others.

In the stories, many monster hunters lost their lives in vain because of carelessness, ambushed by monsters, or deceived by fake death, so he always took it as a warning in his heart.

Then Bai Zisheng asked curiously: "Is the inner mountain of Dahei Mountain much more dangerous than the outer mountain?"

Mo Hua's cultivation is not enough, only the sixth level of Qi Refining, so he can only stay in the outer mountain. What he said about Dahei Mountain is also limited to the outer mountain.

What monsters, miasma, mountain fog, dangerous places, etc., Bai Zisheng heard a little thrilling, but also a little curious. If the outer mountain is like this, what should the inner mountain be like?

Mo Hua ate meat, puffed up his cheeks and listened carefully. He had never been to the inner mountain, but he would go sooner or later.

Regarding the inner mountain, he only heard a few words from other monster hunters, and didn't know much.

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

"Miasma, fog forest, poisonous swamp, these are all things that exist in the outer mountains. The inner mountains also have them, and the miasma is thicker, the fog is deeper, and the toxicity is more serious."

"Most of the monsters in the inner mountains are in the late first-grade, and they are extremely powerful. If you are unlucky, you will encounter a second-grade monster, which is really a life-and-death situation."

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

Mo Shan nodded, "I only saw it from a distance. The blood was strong and dyed the whole forest red. We were lucky and found it early and hid early. The monster seemed to be full and dozing off, so it ignored us."

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Zisheng asked, "Can't we kill the second-grade monster?"

"It's very difficult to kill." Mo Shan sighed, "There are at least five or six, and at most seven or eight foundation-building cultivators. It's not easy to gather them all."

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

Mo Shan saw Mo Hua's concerned look, and his heart warmed. He smiled and said, "The inner mountain is very large, and it is rare to encounter one. There are not many second-grade monsters, and they live in such a large inner mountain. It's not easy to encounter them."

"And the blood of second-grade monsters is too strong. You can find them from a long distance. As long as you stay alert and avoid them in advance, you generally won't be in danger of your life."

Mo Hua nodded.

Mo Shan continued, "In addition to the environment and monsters, the most dangerous thing in the inner mountain is actually people."

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

"Is it a monster hunter or other cultivators?" Mo Hua asked.

"Both. There are demon hunters from other places who will deliberately snatch prey. There are also some cultivators from other places, all kinds of people, with ulterior motives."

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

Mo Shan smiled and explained, "The Great Black Mountain is very large, with majestic mountains and spreading, and it is also connected to other lands. Tongxian City is just a part of the Great Black Mountain..."

"The outer mountains of the Great Black Mountain are connected to Tongxian City, not to the outside world, but the inner mountains are different."

"The mountain roads in the inner mountains are more complicated and connected in all directions. If cultivators from the southern land want to enter the city or borrow the road, they must pass through the inner mountains."

"The inner mountains are cold and secluded, and people's hearts are depressed, and they are prone to evil thoughts. There are often robberies, rapes, murders and treasures. After that, the bodies are destroyed on the spot, and people don't know, and ghosts don't know."

Mo Hua felt cold in his heart when he heard it.

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

Those who eat people in this world may not be demons, but may be people.

Mo Shan saw that Mo Hua and Bai Zisheng's faces were tense and their expressions were a little solemn. He realized that it was not appropriate to talk about these topics on a festive day like the New Year, so he changed the subject and talked about some interesting stories about hunting monsters.

Bai Zisheng was listening to it for the first time and was very interested.

Mo Hua was fine. He had heard some stories before, and Bai Zisheng just listened to the rest.

But now he had entered the Great Black Mountain and knew what hunting monsters was like.

These stories that were once interesting, now you can know the dangers and unpredictability in them, and naturally it will be a different taste to 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. After returning, they can only practice and do boring homework.

Bai Zixi's expression could not be seen, but between his eyes, a hint of regret was revealed.

Mo Hua was free. Although he had to practice and practice formations every day, he could play whenever he wanted, unlike the Bai 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:

"Aunt Xue, there will be lanterns and fireworks on the 15th. 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. 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, which were not too difficult.

Aunt Xue couldn't help laughing when she saw Mo Hua's confidence. After a moment's silence, she nodded and said, "Then we'll watch 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 when he looked at Mo Hua. It was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the night had already arrived. The streets were decorated with lights and colorful lanterns. Mo Hua checked the fireworks array again and confirmed that there was no problem. Then he nodded. The fireworks array was a complex array formed by connecting ordinary fireworks arrays in parallel. It was less than the first grade and had a small number of array patterns. 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 the spirit energy was injected, the array could be activated and the fireworks could be launched into the sky. Mo Hua didn't use paper as the array medium because paper was disposable. After the array was activated, the array paper could not bear the array spirit power and would be destroyed. With soil and stone as the array medium, the array could 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 formation can be activated to set off fireworks to celebrate.

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

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

At the hour of Xu, Mo Hua activated the formation.

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

The colorful formation patterns on both sides of the river bank lit up one after another, and then condensed into colorful lights, suddenly rising and flying into 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 full of brilliance, and the beauty was beyond words.

For a moment, countless cultivators looked up at the night sky, at the brilliant fireworks, and watched the fireworks bloom, lighting up the streets and alleys of Tongxian City.
