Asking About Longevity

Chapter 93 Deterrence (sixth update)

 At Mao hour of the next day, Baifu.

The sky was getting slightly brighter, and Bai Zixi got up to practice. Her day's practice schedule is very full, and she has to learn exercises, formations, talismans, and alchemy and weapon refining.

The Bai Mansion was specially built by Aunt Xue for the Bai brothers and sisters. It has an alchemy room, a weapon refining room, a library, a training room, etc. It basically imitates the layout of the Bai family. Although the rooms are smaller, they have all kinds of functions.

 This is Mrs. Bai's request.

Although the Bai family brothers and sisters are away from home, they must not fall behind at all in their spiritual practice. Aunt Xue was also ordered by Mrs. Bai to take care of the food, daily life, and various spiritual matters of the Bai family brothers and sisters.

Mrs. Bai has high hopes for her children, so she is extremely strict.

Although Bai Zisheng is a little naughty and restless, he is still obedient. In comparison, Bai Zixi is too worry-free. He completes all his daily homework without fail, whether it is spiritual talent or spiritual cultivation. The heart is almost impeccable, and no one needs to worry about it at all.

Bai Zi gets up at midnight and sits in the bamboo pavilion in the courtyard to practice for an hour.

As soon as Aunt Xue came back, she stood in the bamboo forest on one side and waited quietly.

There is a light mist in the early morning, the grass and trees are green, and the spiritual flowers are waiting to bloom.

Bai Zixi was sitting among them, wearing a snow-white dress, with crystal clear complexion and flawless appearance.

The morning sun shines through the mist, onto the grass and trees, and onto the petals of flowers. It also turns into a layer of pale golden glow, softly covering Bai Zixi's body.

Aunt Xue sighed. She was willing to sit here and look at this scenery for a whole day.

Bai Zixi's long eyelashes fluttered slightly and opened her eyes.

Aunt Xue stepped forward and told her the news. Including what Qian Xing said when he stopped Mo Hua, how the conflict started, and how it was resolved in the end. After Qian Xing was cured, he harbored a grudge against Mo Hua and found Mo Hua to threaten him.

This is the scene Bai Zixi saw yesterday.

Bai Zixi frowned and said softly: "We are learning from Mr. Zhuang and don't want to be disturbed."

 Aunt Xue nodded and then retreated.

　　Just when I left, I was confused. Did the "we" that Zixi said refer to the two brothers and sisters, or did it also include Mo Hua?

Mo Hua asked Mr. Zhuang for advice, and went to the Bai family brothers and sisters as usual, bringing them some beef, osmanthus cake and sweet wine. By the way, I would like to ask a few more questions about the formation.

As he spoke, Mo Hua always felt that Bai Zixi was looking at his neck.

Mo Hua also turned his head and looked at Bai Zixi curiously.

The two looked at each other, and Bai Zixi asked, "Have you ever injured your neck?"

“Well,” Mo Hua nodded, “The minor injury has healed.”

 I won’t talk about other ink paintings.

Bai Zixi stopped asking and tasted the wine in small sips.

 After returning home from Mr. Zhuang, Mo Hua returned to his hut and began to read the formation book.

Ever since being approached by Qian Xing and knowing that he probably wouldn't let it go, Mo Hua began to prepare ways to deal with Qian Xing. I can't learn magic ink painting yet, nor can I learn other ink paintings. I mainly rely on formations.

Mo Hua selected a few formations and devoted himself to learning them.

 One is the Wood Binding Formation. After activation, the light blue wood spiritual power will bind people like vines and can be used to trap enemies.

 One is the fireworks array, which is similar to the open fire array painted before ink painting, but the open fire array is used for lighting. When the fireworks array is activated, it will send out a dazzling red fireworks into the sky.

 Fireworks arrays are generally used for celebrations. During monk festivals, they are used to set off fireworks, which are colorful and beautiful. The ink painting is to use fireworks to attract the attention of others when encountering unexpected dangers, so as to prevent oneself from falling into an isolated and helpless situation.

There is also an iron armor formation. Ink paintings are painted on a pair of thin rattan armor, which can make the rattan armor as strong as steel. In critical moments, it may save one's life. The iron armor array was originally used to strengthen armor. The armor was made of fine iron and was already hard. With the addition of the iron armor array, it became even more indestructible. When fighting in physical training, wearing armor with iron armor formations painted on it, which is as solid as gold and stone, is like adding wings to a tiger and making him invincible.

 In close combat, armor has a great influence on the outcome, so it is extremely important for physical training.

 But armor is very expensive and requires a lot of fine iron and a lot of effort, so it is not something that Mo Hua can afford. Among the demon hunters in Tongxian City, there are only a few who have armor. Most of the demon hunters still use cheap vine armor.

 The rattan armor of the ink painting is small and exquisite. It was specially customized by Master Chen for the ink painting. The body of the ink painting is small, the rattan armor is not big, and it doesn't even use many materials. Master Chen confiscated all the spiritual stones.

 Master Chen did not accept the spirit stone, so Mo Hua could only choose a few nice words to praise Master Chen. Master Chen did not say anything, but he was still very proud of himself.

Mo Hua went back and tried the rattan armor. Generally speaking, it can block swords, but the strength cannot block it. Even if there is no external injury, internal injuries are inevitable.

There's nothing you can do about it. Vine armor is for body repair. Body repairers have rough skin and thick flesh, so long as they can defend against swords. It doesn't matter how strong they are, but ink painting cannot.

Mo Hua had no choice but to draw another armored formation on it. Although it could not isolate the force, it was at least much better than before. Moreover, after the iron armor formation was painted, the vine armor itself became much stronger. In the past, when the sword struck the vine armor, it would leave traces, but now there are no traces at all.

The rattan armor is for self-defense and is not comfortable to wear, so Mo Hua put the rattan armor into a storage bag and took it out in case of emergency.

 At present, the only attack formation is the Earth Fire Formation. In terms of power alone, the Earth Fire Formation is already very good, and other formations are not much stronger. What's more important is that when the Earth Fire Formation is activated, it will take three breaths before it explodes, while other formations mostly take effect instantly, and when the spiritual power explodes, the ink painting will also be affected.

Such a powerful formation can blow Qian Xing to pieces, but if it hits Mo Hua, he will definitely die.

In addition, there are some scattered small formations and ink paintings prepared in case of emergency.

 But two days later, Zhang Lan found Mo Hua again and said, "Qian Xing has gone crazy and won't trouble you anymore."

Mo Hua opened his mouth wide.

Zhang Lan saw Mo Hua's expression and knew that he really didn't know, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"While Qian Xing was sleeping, someone poured bright red demon blood and **** internal organs all over his body. He soaked in the blood and slept all night. When he woke up the next day, he was completely crazy."

Mo Hua was shocked and asked: "Is he scared crazy?"

“It’s not that simple,” Zhang Lan shook his head. “The flesh, blood and internal organs are just a shock at best. Just burn some soothing incense and rest for a while, so as not to make people crazy.”

 “What’s going on?” Mo Hua asked.

“I guess in addition to using demon blood and internal organs to intimidate, some people also used illusions,” Zhang Lan said.

 “Illusion?”

"It is said that Qian Xing woke up with a panicked expression and a shrill voice, and kept shouting, 'Don't eat me.' If what I expected was correct, someone must have used illusions to make him think that he was really being eaten by a monster in his dream." Entered into the stomach. When he woke up, he found that the blood and internal organs of the monster were all around him. He thought that he was in the belly of the monster and that he was really eaten by the monster. Under the pain and fear, he went completely crazy. .”

Mo Hua was shocked when he heard this. Can such a magic exist? It sounded so powerful that I couldn’t help but ask:

 “Illusion...can I learn it?”

Zhang Lan glanced at Mo Hua and said, "You can't do it!" This directly ended Mo Hua's wishful thinking.

"Illusion is a very special spell. Learning illusion requires special meridians and physiques, as well as a deep family background. Ordinary monks cannot learn it. They have no place to learn it and they cannot learn it at all." Zhang Lan said.

Mo Hua was a little disappointed, and then asked Zhang Lan: "Uncle Zhang, can you learn it?"

 Zhang Lan choked, "I... can't do it either."

Mo Hua was comforted and felt better.
