Chapter 55 Shopping

　　After setting off the lotus lanterns, it was not too late, and a few people started walking along the street again.

Perhaps after a few quarrels, Bai Zisheng became familiar with Mo Hua, so he became less polite and talked more.

“Mo Hua, what are those monks doing?”

Bai Zisheng pointed to a table and asked curiously.

Mo Hua looked along the direction and saw a few monks dressed as monster hunters on a simple platform fighting a bull-shaped "monster".

The "demon beast" has a bronze head and brocade skin, its fur is shiny, and it looks lifelike, but it is actually a monk pretending to be wearing an animal skin.

 “Oh, it’s a show about fighting monsters.”

"Fighting monsters? Fighting monsters?" Bai Zisheng suddenly became interested.

"Most of the monks in Tongxian City make a living by hunting monsters, and they are indispensable for fighting monsters on weekdays. Therefore, during festivals and celebrations, monster hunters will perform monster fights. It is not only for fun, but also a tradition of monster hunters. "

 After saying that, the fight against the demon on the stage was wonderful.

One of the demon hunters held a knife, and with a loud shout, the knife was instantly covered with a layer of fire. One person waved his fist, and the wind of the fist whizzed. Another person stood in the distance, holding a hand, and a few fireballs were fired. Appeared in front of him, and in an instant he was fighting with the "monster beast" again. For a moment, spiritual power overflowed and light flowed.

 “Wow, flaming knife, wind-winding fist, fireball!”

 A child nearby shouted excitedly, clapping his little hands.

Bai Zisheng was not much better, his face turned red.

Mo Hua couldn't help but ask: "You are already in the late stage of Qi refining, right? You should have learned Taoism..."

 Why do you look like you have never seen the world...

Bai Zisheng rolled his eyes at Mo Hua, "Of course I know Taoism, but my mother won't let me use it. My mother said that it is most important for monks in the Qi refining period to lay a solid foundation. Learning some Taoism from the three-legged cat and fighting with others is a reckless man. If you are injured and your foundation is damaged, your future practice will be ruined."

“Oh.” Mo Hua hummed.

 For aristocratic families, the Qi refining period is only used to lay the foundation. As long as they concentrate on practice, it is not necessary to learn Taoism.

As for ordinary casual cultivators, they may only spend their whole life in the Qi refining period, during which they have to learn various Taoist techniques, fight with monsters and beasts, and lick blood from the tip of the knife in order to survive.

"When will the casual cultivators at the bottom not have to live so hard?"

Mo Hua sighed with complicated emotions.

In addition to the monster fighting show, there are also some novel Taoist acrobatics, interesting shadow puppet shows, puppet dogs that can run around after inserting some broken spiritual stones, and various fragrant snacks...

They walked around for a while. Bai Zisheng looked excited and still had something to say. Bai Zixi's little face was also flushed, and it looked a bit brighter than the lights in the sky.

Until it was getting late, several people still had unfinished business, but they had to part ways and go home.

“Thank you very much this time for showing us the customs and customs of Tongxian City.”

Aunt Xue thanked Mo Hua, then took out a small box from somewhere and handed it to Mo Hua.

"These are some snacks I bought on the way as a thank you gift. They don't cost many spirit stones. You shouldn't refuse them, right?"

Mo Hua no longer refused, accepted it graciously, and said happily: "Thank you, Aunt Xue."

Aunt Xue smiled slightly and nodded.

Bai Zisheng said to Mo Hua: "In the future, when you have time to go to Qianzhou, I will take you to see the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. Although it is not as lively and lively as here, the scene is very grand. There are all kinds of rare spiritual beasts and flying boats and chariots. I guarantee that you will enjoy it." Eye-opener."

"Uh-huh!"

The ink painting is quite fascinating, and I wonder how grand the aristocratic families and sects in Qianzhou that have been passed down for thousands of years are.

But he doesn’t know if he will be able to go in this life.

The world of monasticism is vast. There are countless fairy cities in Lizhou alone. Tongxian City is just an inconspicuous small fairy city among these countless fairy cities. With the cultivation level of Mo Hua, it is not easy to leave Tongxian City, let alone leaving Lizhou. Went to Qianzhou, I don’t know where. After saying goodbye to the Bai brothers and sisters, Mo Hua found Dahu and the other three.

The three children also had a lot of fun. When they saw Mo Hua, they stuffed a bunch of strange things into Mo Hua's arms. There were various gadgets and a white candy man with a little tiger.

 “The candy man must eat it quickly, otherwise it will melt.”

Xiaohu told Mo Hua, and then introduced the gadgets to Mo Hua with great interest and told Mo Hua how to play.

These are not expensive, you can basically buy one for one or two cents of broken spirit stones, but they are more novel and ingenious, and some of the ink paintings have never been seen before.

Mo Hua distributed the snacks given to him by Aunt Xue to his three friends, and then licked the candy man while studying the toys in his hands.

Dahu and the other three were eating snacks and walking home with Mo Hua. Halfway through, Xiaohu suddenly asked:

“Mo Hua, you won’t always have to stay with the young master and young lady of the Bai family from now on, right?”

"What's wrong?"

 Xiaohu shook his head and said nothing.

Mo Hua thought they had some quarrel with the Bai brothers and sisters, but Xiaohu hesitated for a moment and said:

 “That little girl from the Bai family is so pretty...”

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it good-looking?"

  Xiaohu said: "You can't play with pretty little girls."

 Dahu and Shuanghu also nodded quickly.

"Why…"

Shuanghu said sternly: "My mother said that beautiful women make men stupid. The more beautiful the woman is, the dumber the man becomes!"

“That’s right, my father ran away from home after seeing a beautiful woman. As a result, he was deceived out of his life and property, and finally lost his life.”

“That’s right, I’ve also heard that many monks with good spiritual roots have neglected their cultivation just because they married beautiful Taoist companions, and ended up accomplishing nothing in the end.”

“Yes, yes, I just glanced at that little girl, and I was stunned for a moment, and I couldn’t move my head. If I had looked at it a few more times, I might have turned into an idiot. It’s so scary..."

 “Indeed, it’s terrible…”

Shuanghu patted Mo Hua on the shoulder, "Mo Hua, you are the smartest among us, and you may become a formation master in the future. If you become a fool, you will be in trouble."

 Both Dahu and Xiaohu looked at the ink painting worriedly.

Mo Hua didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Finally, after thinking about it, he felt that... it made sense, so he said:

"There's nothing we can do about it. We all learn the formation from your husband. If you don't see it when you look up, you won't see it when you look down."

 “That’s it.” The three children all looked solemn.

Mo Hua smiled and said: "Drawing formations will make people smarter, so if I draw more formations in the future, I won't become too stupid."

“Can drawing formations really make people smarter?” Xiaohu asked.

“Of course,” Shuanghu said, “Isn’t it because the ink painting formations are good at painting, so they are smarter than us?”

Mo Hua said: "Then do you want to learn the formation? I can teach you."

The three of them have good physical training qualifications, but they have no talent in drawing formations. They feel a headache when they see the dense formations.

 Xiaohu hesitated for a long time, and finally made a painful decision:

“Forget it, if you can become smart by drawing formations, then I would rather be a fool for the rest of my life!”
