A few days before the New Year, Mo Hua visited Mr. Zhuang early in the morning and brought some New Year gifts, all of which were prepared by Liu Ruhua himself.
Mr. Zhuang does not need things like spiritual stones and spiritual weapons.
Liu Ruhua thought for a long time and didn’t know what to give, so he could only follow the usual practice and make more delicious food to express his gratitude.
Liu Ruhua started preparing more than ten days in advance. He was so busy that he didn’t finish it until now.
There are different monsters such as cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs, different parts and different flavors of sauced meat, as well as colorful cakes made from different grains, as well as wine made from osmanthus, peach blossoms and wild fruits in the mountains.
Even though Mr. Zhuang was used to eating, he couldn’t help but be a little surprised when he saw it.
“There are so many, how can we finish them all?”
Then he tasted them one by one with great interest, occasionally frowning and asking, “What kind of meat is this? I have never tasted it…” and occasionally nodding and praising: “This tastes good.”
Mo Hua was on the side, chatting with Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang told Mr. Zhuang which monster meat it was, what spices were added, and how long it had been cooked on high or low fire.
Or ask some minor questions about the formation, and occasionally talk about interesting things in the city.
An Xiaofu told him many things.
An Xiaofu is now the shopkeeper of Fushan Restaurant. He interacts with diners every day. He gossips with others and listens to a lot of stories. When he has free time, he chats with Mo Hua and tells Mo Hua stories with added details.
Mo Hua found it interesting and told Mr. Zhuang. Mr. Zhuang listened with great interest while drinking and eating meat.
After chatting for a long time, Mo Hua saw that the bamboo room was quiet and quiet, but inevitably lonely, so he asked: “Sir, do you want to go out during the Chinese New Year? It’s very lively outside.”
Mr. Zhuang seems to have been staying here all the time, either taking a nap in the bamboo room, watching the water on the bridge, or sitting in the yard, looking at the mountains, the breeze, the morning sun, and the sunset.
Mo Hua has never seen Mr. Zhuang go out.
Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, “It’s quiet here. I don’t like noise.”
“Oh.” Mo Hua nodded, “Then if I talk to you, am I disturbing you?”
Mr. Zhuang shook his head, “If it’s too quiet, it will be boring. It’s good to talk to you.”
Mo Hua was relieved.
The breeze blows indoors, while the bamboo forest rustles and flowers and plants sway outdoors.
Mo Hua and Mr. Zhuang chatted for a long time, the crisp and mellow voices intertwined and disappeared into the mountains with the wind.
Until he saw that Mr. Zhuang looked a little tired, perhaps because he had eaten too much and was a little sleepy, Mo Hua stood up and said goodbye:
“I won’t disturb your husband’s rest. My mother also made some rice cakes. They are sweet, soft and glutinous. I will bring them to you to try in a few days.”
Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, “Go ahead.”
Mo Hua said goodbye to Mr. Zhuang, found Mr. Puppet again, and gave him some new year gifts.
Mo Hua knows the old man’s preferences.
Although the old man looks old, he doesn’t like to eat soft and glutinous things. He likes to eat crispy things and things that make a sound when he eats them.
So what Mo Hua sent was some crispy snacks and a few boxes of pine nuts, including original flavor, five-flavored flavor, and spicy flavor.
The old man put everything into his sleeves, took out the chessboard from his sleeves, and took a look at Mo Hua.
Seeing that it was still early, Mo Hua nodded, “Come on!”
The breeze floats, fallen leaves drift by, and the sound of falling leaves in front of the court comes one after another.
The two stinky chess players played Five Elements Chess like this for a long time.
In the evening, Dahu and the others called Mo Hua to watch the monster fighting show.
They were the ones to perform this scene. In addition, there were Daping and Dazhu from the weapon refinery.
The swords and rattan armor used for the show were ready-made, and the props used to dress up the monsters were borrowed. Dahu and the others were here not only to join in the fun, but also to earn some rewards.
The monster was played by Dazhu and several disciples from the weapon refining shop, but the three Dahu brothers felt that Dazhu and the others didn’t act like the monster. The monster looked dull and stupid, so they acted it themselves.
The monsters in Daheishan are very ferocious and stupid.
So in the end it became Dahu and the three demon hunters to play the role of monsters, while Dazhu, the weapon refiner, played the role of the demon hunter.
A few of them acted decently.
Mo Hua stood aside, applauded them and rewarded them.
The monks who were watching also joined in the fun and took out some broken spiritual stones as encouragement.
After the performance, Dahu and the others took their ink paintings and found some delicious and fun places to go shopping and play.
Dahu has reached the seventh level of Qi refining and is considered a monk in the late stage of Qi refining.
Mo Hua humbly asked for advice, “What should you pay attention to when you break through to the late stage of Qi refining?”
He has now reached the sixth level of Qi refining, and the next step will be the seventh level of Qi refining, which is the later stage of Qi refining.
Although his cultivation method is different from Dahu’s, he can still get some advice and refer to it so that he can have an idea.
Dahu scratched his head and said, “Just practice normally, and then you need some spiritual objects. My technique uses Falling Sun Grass and Molten Fire Stone, and combined with some pills, you can achieve a breakthrough.”
“Is it that simple?”
“Not every breakthrough can be successful. I am lucky, otherwise I would have to try a few more times.” Dahu said.
Shuanghu on the side said: “I failed once, otherwise I would be in the late stage of Qi refining now.”
“What should I do if I fail?”
“Continue to practice, accumulate spiritual stones, buy spiritual objects and elixirs, and then try to break through.”
Shuanghu said indifferently, “Anyway, as long as a monk survives, he will continue to do this kind of thing, unless you accept your fate, or you are too poor to have any spiritual stones, or you have a family and a career, and the burden is too heavy.”
Mo Hua nodded, “It sounds simple, but if you have to persist and persist for a lifetime, it is not simple.”
Xiaohu said worriedly: “The main reason is that some spiritual objects are too expensive for casual cultivators to buy, and some are still unavailable. If you break through once, they will all be used up. If you fail, you have to buy another one.”
Daping and Dazhu also nodded, “That’s right! How can casual cultivators get so many spiritual stones and such a wide network of contacts to buy those spiritual objects.”
Everyone felt a little worried.
Mo Hua also felt worried, and suddenly he remembered that he didn’t need any spiritual objects at all to practice Tianyan Jue, and he didn’t need to spend many spiritual stones, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The bottleneck of Tianyan Jue lies in the sea of consciousness and formation, not in spiritual objects.
He chose this technique just for this reason.
Mo Hua was secretly glad that he had the foresight.
But then I thought again, although the breakthrough of Tianyan Jue does not require spiritual objects, it does require a puzzle-solving array.
The mystery is deep, complex, obscure and ever-changing, and it is not easy to solve.
Dao Dao drinks and pecks, it is relatively fair, and you will not let you pick up any mistakes.
I just don’t know what the mystery formation in the sea of consciousness looks like this time…
Mo Hua thought silently in his heart:
“I have already reached the sixth level of Qi refining. It is estimated that it will not be long before I can complete the sixth level of Qi refining. When the time comes, I will try to break through and I will know what kind of mystery array I will solve this time.”
Thank you Wang Shuilunlian for the reward~ (End of this chapter)
