Chapter 393 Self-Rescue
Mo Hua decided to use the thick earth formation to reconstruct the spiritual field of Qianjia Town.
But he actually had no say in this matter.
The spiritual field was not his, and he was not from Qianjia Town at all.
Although the elder of Dongshan Village did not have a high level of cultivation, he was old, had a long history, and was quite prestigious.
He did not have much real power, but he was usually the one who made the decision.
Mo Hua asked him:
"Elder, do you want to redraw the formation for the spiritual field?"
The elder of Dongshan Village had expected this, but still found it unbelievable, and trembled:
"Re-draw... the formation?"
"Yes." Mo Hua nodded, "It's the formation that the ancestor of the Sun family drew back then."
The elder's pupils trembled.
The ancestor of the Sun family, a second-grade formation master, had a high status in Qianjia Town and had always been a legendary cultivator.
Painting the formation of the ancestor of the Sun family...
The elder's tone became more respectful:
"The formation of the ancestor of the Sun family... Young sir, have you learned it?"
"I have learned some, I dare not say that I can learn 100%, but I have learned 70% or 80%." Mo Hua said modestly.
The elder was distracted for a moment and muttered to himself:
"The ancestor of the Sun family is a second-grade formation master..."
Mo Hua explained: "He is a second-grade formation master, but the formation he set up is actually a first-grade formation. Otherwise, the spirit stones of the Qi-refining cultivators cannot afford the second-grade formation."
The elder understood.
Mo Hua explained the pros and cons to him:
"To draw the formation, we need to reconstruct some spiritual fields and redraw the formation on the ridges."
"I learned the formation from the ancestor of the Sun family, so I can draw the formation for you without charging spiritual stones."
"But the formation itself also requires a lot of spiritual ink and a lot of spiritual stones. At the same time, it also requires a certain amount of manpower to re-cultivate and regularize the spiritual fields."
"You have to pay for all these manpower and material resources."
The elder knew what was going on and nodded slowly.
Mo Hua finally said: "I can draw the formation, but whether to draw this formation or not, in the final analysis, it is up to you to decide."
The elder pondered for a long time, then bowed and said:
"Young sir, can you give me some time to discuss it with everyone."
"Yes." Mo Hua nodded.
This kind of thing, the elder really can't make the decision alone, and he must discuss it with others.
Mo Hua didn't force it.
If they are willing, I will draw a formation for them.
I can also apply what I have learned and deepen my understanding of the formation.
It is for myself, for the cultivators of Dongshan Village, and for the land of Qianjia Town.
If they disagree, Mo Hua will not force them.
I can only find an opportunity to rebuild the thick earth formation in the future to deepen my understanding of the formation...
...
After Mo Hua left, the elder summoned the spiritual farmers in Dongshan Village.
He told Mo Hua what he meant.
Everyone looked at each other.
Most people still couldn't believe it:
"Did this young gentleman really learn the formation of the ancestor of the Sun family?"
"Impossible..."
"How old is he?"
"Can you learn this formation at the seventh level of Qi Refining? I see that other formation masters all have white beards."
"What do you know? There is no order of learning, and the one who achieves is respected."
"Although this young gentleman is young, I think his formation level is much higher than the current head of the Sun family."
"Indeed, although I can't understand it, his formation is drawn quickly and well."
"Better than everyone in the Sun family."
"Then why does he help us?"
"That's right, there's no benefit, and he doesn't accept our spirit stones..."
"If he wants to accept spirit stones, you Can you afford it?"
"We are so poor that we can't even afford to eat..."
"Can the formation of the Sun family's ancestor be an ordinary formation? How many spirit stones are needed to draw this formation?"
"Even if we empty the family coffers of the whole village and collect the spirit stones, we may not be able to pay the reward..."
"I just think it's strange. This young master is too kind-hearted."
"Aren't you a cheap bone? If this young master is like the Sun family, riding on our heads, would it be considered right?"
"To draw this formation, we need to reconstruct the spiritual field, but this spiritual field is inherited from our ancestors and cannot be moved."
"Why can't we move it?"
"It can't be moved if it's inherited from our ancestors..."
...
Everyone talked about it, some agreed, some opposed, and some were worried and hesitant.
They are spiritual farmers who rely on spiritual fields for their livelihood.
Things involving spiritual fields involve the foundation, so for a while, there are many concerns and it is difficult to make a decision.
The elder listened to their argument, pondered for a while, and then slowly said:
"We have to build this formation."
The room was quiet for a moment.
A spiritual farmer frowned and said, "But, elder, this matter is quite risky."
The elder shook his head, "I don't want the descendants of Dongshan Village to starve again."
"This matter is indeed risky, but what is risk-free? How can such a good thing without risk be passed on to poor monks like us?"
"If we don't take this risk, our descendants will have to take it."
"But our descendants may not have this opportunity."
The elder's turbid eyes were shining with brilliance. He slowly looked at everyone and said in a serious tone:
"Although this young gentleman is young, he is a master in formation."
"He is willing to help us, that is our opportunity."
"Once he leaves, who can still know such a profound formation? Even if someone knows, who is willing to help us draw it?"
"Don't be lucky and think that it will be better in the future."
"If you don't fight for it now, it will only be worse in the future."
"This is our only hope."
"If we don't seize this opportunity, our descendants will starve!"
The elder's voice was hoarse and heavy. After speaking, his old illness was triggered, and he frowned and coughed violently.
Everyone was silent.
Some people still looked hesitant, but most people's eyes gradually became firm.
...
The next day, the elder found Mo Hua and told him the decision.
"Everyone agreed. Those who had spirit stones contributed spirit stones, and those who had strength contributed strength to rebuild the formation in the spirit field.
Then the elder saluted Mo Hua solemnly:
"Please, young master, save the cultivators of Qianjia Town from starvation!"
Mo Hua couldn't bear such a big gift, and hurriedly helped the elder up.
The elder looked at Mo Hua expectantly.
Mo Hua shook his head and said, "I can't save you."
The elder looked stunned.
Mo Hua sighed, "I can only help you draw the formation, but if the formation can really save you, then the formation of the Sun family ancestor would have saved you."
"But it didn't..."
"For so many years, you still live a life of hunger and fullness. "
The elder was shocked when he heard this, and then he was thoughtful, his mood fluctuating for a while.
Mo Hua continued:
"I can draw a good formation, make the soil fertile, and the spiritual field harvest abundant, so that everyone can have enough food."
"But then what?"
"The Sun family is still there, and they will still oppress you."
"The built spiritual field will still be destroyed."
"The drawn formation will still be destroyed."
"You don't know the formation, you will still be controlled by others and exploited by the Sun family."
"Build a good formation in the spiritual field, the land is fertile, maybe in one or two years, or even five or six years, you can live better and have more food."
"But what about more than ten years, decades, or even a hundred years later?"
"Will it be the same as before? "
The elder's expression was filled with deep bitterness, which then turned into an insoluble sorrow.
He said helplessly: "But the Sun family has a foundation-building cultivator..."
Mo Hua shook his head, "He is only in the early stage of foundation-building, and he is considered a half-formation master. He doesn't often fight with others, and his Taoism is unfamiliar."
"Generally speaking, if a dozen or so Qi Refining Level 9 cultivators really dare to fight to the death, they are enough to make him afraid."
Mo Hua added: "The Sun family is domineering, relying on the weakness of spiritual farmers and muddling through."
"If you really unite as one and face the outside world together, they dare not act recklessly."
The elder hesitated and sighed:
"But... In this case, I'm afraid there will be bloodshed and death..."
Mo Hua said in a solemn tone:
"If you bleed, your descendants can have enough food. If you starve to death, your descendants will starve to death as well. "
The elder was suddenly distracted when he heard this.
Mo Hua comforted him again: "In fact, the Sun family dare not go too far."
After all, there is the Dao Ting Division of Shangtai City.
Although the Dao Ting Division in such a place will not directly manage matters outside the Immortal City, if there are major conflicts, they will have to intervene.
The Dao Ting Division acts in accordance with the "Dao Law".
At least on the surface.
With the constraints of the "Dao Law" and the duties of the Dao Ting Division, the Sun family dare not be too presumptuous.
After all, the Sun family is different from the Qian family, or in other words, different from the Black Mountain Stronghold of the Qian family's ancestors.
They are just parasites that suck blood for pleasure, not executioners who kill people like crazy.
"So I can only help you, I can't save you..."
Mo Hua's eyes were clear and he said frankly, "The only one who can save you is you."
The elder frowned and pondered for a long time, then slowly breathed a sigh of relief, saluted Mo Hua again, and said solemnly:
"Thank you, young sir, I understand. "
