Asking About Longevity

Chapter 47 Origin

After a few days, Mo Hua became more proficient in the meditation method. After entering samadhi, the recovery speed of his consciousness was more than twice as fast as before. It used to take half an hour to rest after drawing a formation, but now he only needs two or three cups of tea. Kung fu is good.

 But as I continue to understand the meditation method, I almost feel no improvement.

 This is probably what Mr. Zhuang said. Entering concentration requires one’s mind. Within a period of time, there will be no major change in one’s mind, and the effect of meditation will not be enhanced. It takes years of persistence before the effects of meditation will gradually improve.

 This is a matter of time and effort, and there is no need to rush in a short period of time.

  Thanks to the meditation method, Mo Hua can draw more formations every day, and his spiritual consciousness grows faster.

 For nearly a month after that, Mo Hua spent most of the time learning formations from Mr. Zhuang.

Sometimes Mr. Zhuang gets tired and takes a few days off for ink painting.

Mo Hua took the time to go to Youyuanzhai and asked Guanshi Mo, saying that he was going to learn the formations from his husband and had no time to help Youyuanzhai draw the formations anymore.

Mo Guanshi was not surprised, he just glanced at Mo Hua and said, "Isn't it the formation drawn by your brother?"

Mo Hua scratched his head and chuckled.

Mo Guanshi sighed, looked at the ink painting and said:

"I have never seen a child as talented as you in my life. No matter what, study hard."

 “Okay, stay out of the business!”

 Mo Guanshi paused for a moment, a little embarrassed, but still said quietly:

"In the future, if anything happens, ahem...I mean just in case, if I need anything from you, please help me if it's convenient for you..."

“Don’t worry, manager. Based on our friendship, these are all easy to talk about.” Mo Hua patted his chest.

 Mo Guanshi smiled and said, "That's not a bad tone." But he looked obviously happy.

Mo Hua thought for a while and then asked: "Where is Yan Jiaoxi? Do you know Mo Guanxi?"

Mo Guanshi was silent, and then sighed, "This is his private matter, related to the sect. It is not convenient for me to tell you. If you grow up and want to know, I will tell you later."

Mo Hua nodded silently.

 After Dahu and the other three dropped out of the sect, they had more time.

 If nothing happens, they come to Mo Hua to play. Sometimes when the restaurant is too busy, they will help and then have a bowl of hot beef noodles. Liu Ruhua will also ask them to bring some other food home.

 Occasionally, when Mo Shan is at home, he will teach them some martial arts techniques.

The Taoism of monks is divided into two categories: magic and martial arts.

 Spiritually cultivate magic, and physically cultivate martial arts.

 Martial Arts Taoism uses spiritual power to activate the potential of the physical body, thereby causing the physical body to explode with powerful force, and attach the attributes of the spiritual power itself to fight the enemy at close range.

For example, Mo Shan is good at the Flame Fist. When the attack is made, the punch is fast and fierce, and the fist is surrounded by red fire spiritual power, which is quite powerful.

The three of Dahu followed Mo Shan to train their bodies. They danced with their fists like tigers and tigers, and looked at the ink paintings with envy.

It's a pity that Mo Hua doesn't have the talent for physical training. He can't learn any of these martial arts techniques. Even if he wants to learn some offensive techniques in the future, he may take the path of spiritual cultivation and learn some spells.

  The spell is a condensation spell that uses spiritual consciousness to control spiritual power. It is a long-range attack without the need to get close.

Dahu and the other three are studying very seriously. They are almost at the sixth level of Qi refining, and at the sixth level of Qi refining, they will enter the Daheishan Mountains and become monster hunters.

The Dahei Mountains are dangerous and the monsters are ferocious. If you are not good at learning and hunting monsters, you may end up with a narrow escape from death. Therefore, they dare not slack off at all.

The business of the restaurant is also getting better day by day. It has been open for a long time and has gained a reputation. Even some wealthy monks on North Street will travel from north to south through the entire Tongxian City to have a plate of beef and drink from a pot. Wine. This is the only place in Tongxian City where you can get meat for two spirit stones.

 There is only one restaurant in the entire Daheishan Prefecture where you can eat such delicious monster beef.

 The restaurant business was good, but Liu Ruhua was too busy, so he hired two aunts to help. Both of them are in poor financial circumstances, and the husband is disabled from hunting monsters and unable to make a living.

The monks at the bottom are very diligent in their work, and the two aunts and Jiang Yun keep the restaurant in order.

Jiang Yun worked diligently to help in the restaurant, and her life gradually became more comfortable. Her husband's health also improved day by day, and he was able to do simple physical work. She was no longer as shy and restrained as before.

In order to thank Moshan and his wife, Jiang Yun took the time to make various snacks as thank-you gifts. I heard that they were all learned from her mother.

Her family once opened a dim sum shop when she was a child. Later, a series of changes occurred and the family property was lost, so the dim sum shop could not continue to operate, but the craftsmanship was still passed down.

The ingredients for the snacks made by Jiang Yun were simple, but they tasted delicious. Liu Ruhua asked her to make more and sell them in restaurants. She could also earn more spiritual stones to supplement her family income.

Liu Ruhua also learned to make snacks from her in her spare time. Some of the snacks Mo Hua gave to Puppet Lao were what Liu Ruhua learned from Jiang Yun.

In addition, Jiang Yun can also fry pine nuts.

There are various kinds of pine trees in the mountains outside Tongxian City. There are many pine nuts, but they can’t fill the stomach, so no one wants them.

Jiang Yun occasionally goes to the mountains to pick wild vegetables. She will bring back some pine nuts and roast them in a pot. The fried pine nuts are fragrant and crispy. It is also good to place it in a restaurant and serve it with wine or tea.

 The one who likes pine nuts the most is actually Pupolao.

 Mo Hua once brought snacks to Puppet Lao and grabbed a handful of pine nuts for him.

Puppet Lao was cracking pine nuts while playing Five Elements Chess with Mo Hua. Hearing the crisp sound of cracking pine nuts and smelling the special fragrance of pine nuts, Puppet Lao looked very relaxed.

 After a while, the chess game was not finished, but the old man’s pine nuts were knocked out.

 Puppet Lao's chess skills, which were not very good in the first place, have obviously declined again. Although his face was expressionless, Mo Hua could feel some loss from his face.

Before Mo Hua left, he said to Mr. Puppet: "Grandpa Puppet, next time I come, I will bring you some pine nuts."

Puppet Lao nodded.

When Mo Hua left, the puppeteer, who never spoke much, also told him: "Be careful on the road."

I don’t know whether I care about the ink paintings or the pine nuts.

 After that, Mo Hua’s life gradually stabilized.

 Among the lights of thousands of houses in Tongxian City, there are joys and sorrows, joys and sorrows, ups and downs, and the monks are also working hard to live. Ink painting is also one of these thousands of lights, working hard to practice and draw formations.

More than a month has passed like this.

Mo Hua, as always, follows Mr. Zhuang to learn the formation method, studies the formation diagrams every day, practices drawing formations, meditates to restore his consciousness, and his days are as calm as a pool of water, without any ripples.

However, the foundation of the spiritual consciousness and formations of ink painting has gradually become firmer, and the understanding of the principles has gradually deepened. After reading and practicing the formations within the six formations a few times, you can basically master them.

This morning, the sun was shining brightly and the mountain breeze was refreshing.

Mo Hua went to Mr. Zhuang to ask for advice on the formation as usual, but he saw a few strange monks in front of the door that he had never seen before.
