Chapter 24 Seeking the Way


    When Mo Hua went to find Fat Manager again, he was told that the market has changed now.


    Youyuanzhai, the formation of the open fire formation and the solid earth formation, is not accepted.


    Mo Hua looked surprised and said suspiciously: "The open fire array is used for lighting, and the solid soil array is used for building houses. Unless there is no one living in Tongxian City, it will not be sold."


    The fat manager complained to Mo Hua in his heart. It is not a good thing for this child to be smart, and it is not easy to deceive. I simply didn’t make excuses. The more excuses I found, the harder it was to justify myself. I waved my hand directly:


    "How can I know this? The market is this market, and I can''t do anything about it!"


    Mo Hua was speechless. He had only saved half of the spirit stones he had learned to practice, so he had to ask, "Then what formation do you collect?"


    The fat manager coughed and took out a formation map with the four words "Golden Stone Formation" written on the cover.


    "Now the Golden Stone Formation technique contains four formation patterns, which is not much different from the Solid Earth Formation."


    Mo Hua looked at the formation diagram and asked, "Master, what is the Golden Stone Formation used for?"


    Fat manager said: "It''s a bit like the Soil Formation. It''s also used to build caves or monks'' residences to reinforce doors and windows. However, one is to reinforce the earth and the other is to reinforce the metal and stone."


    Mo Hua frowned, "It''s similar to the Mutu Formation. No one uses the Mutu Formation. Is there anyone using the Mutu Formation? "


    The fat manager glared at Mo Hua and said hard: "The market is this market. Don''t ask so much, you kid!"


    "Then is this formation also a pair of three spirit stones?"


    It should have been...


    The fat manager felt a little distressed, but he still added:


    "This is also three spirit stones, but it has been scarce recently, so the price has increased and it has been drawn into four spirit stones. However, it has not collected much, and only five are collected every half month."


    It’s relatively scarce, so why don’t you let more drawings?


    Mo Hua thought it was a bit strange to be in charge of fat, but this was Youyuanzhai’s business, so it was difficult for him to ask too much, as long as he could earn spirit stones.


    If you draw all the pictures successfully, you can earn twenty spirit stones every half month, which can be said to be quite rich.


    "Okay, deal!"


    The fat manager breathed a sigh of relief and pulled out a storage bag from under the counter, and handed it to Mo Hua as if he had prepared it in advance.


    Ink painting took the storage bag, checked it, and confirmed that it was "Golden Stone Formation" and five pieces of paper and ink, so he politely said to the fat manager.


    When he was about to reach the door, the fat manager couldn''t help but call him:


    “Ink painting.”


    Mo Hua turned around, the fat manager hesitated for a while and asked, "Do you think this formation is difficult?"


    Mo Hua thought about it and found that it was all four formation patterns, which also had similarities with the Mutu Formation, which was not particularly difficult, so she said, "It''s okay."


    Mo Hua turned around and walked a few steps, then turned around and added, "My brother should be able to draw it."


    "Oh," the fat manager looked at him with a complicated expression and nodded, "Draw well."


    "By the way," the fat manager called Mo Hua again and said, "My surname is Mo. Don''t be angry. Just call me Du."


    Mo Hua nodded, "Okay, don''t keep in charge, I remember."


    Mo Hua returned to Tongxian Gate and studied the Stone Formation when he took time. Because it was similar to the Gutu Formation, it was not too difficult to understand because he had asked Yan to teach the painting of Gutu Formation before.


    Before the formation class one day, Teacher Yan sent someone to send down the previous corrected formation homework, and there was only a "B" on the formation diagram of Mo Hua.


    I looked left and right, and compared it to the sect''s "Detailed Explanation of Formation" and found that I did not draw a wrong place, why is it just "B"?


    Ink painting is a bit confusing.


    The disciple sitting next to him saw the word "B" on the Mo Hua array diagram and shouted, "Wow, Mo Hua you only got B."


    Mo Hua looked at the word "C" on his array map and didn''t say anything.


    The disciple hurriedly covered his word "C" with his hands, chuckled, and then asked curiously: "How come you have only got a Class B?"


    Mo Hua also asked in confusion: "I''m not wrong, I don''t know why it''s only B."


    "You are not wrong, how could the teacher only give you B?"


    Mo Hua showed him the array diagram, "Can you see what''s wrong?" The disciple said with confidence: "If I could see it, I wouldn''t have to have a "C"!"


    The other disciples sitting around also stretched their necks, looked at the array diagram of the ink painting, and then said one after another:


    "It seems that I''m not wrong."


    "Mo Hua, have you offended the teaching?"


    "Be careful to teach and punish you."


    "Student Yan is not such a person, right..."


    Before he finished speaking, Master Yan walked into the monastery room. A group of disciples quickly retracted their necks and quietly acted as quails, not daring to show off.


    The class was held as usual, and after class, he said:


    "Practicing Taoism is like sailing against the current, if you don''t advance, you will retreat. The same is true for the formation. You must not slackew and waste your time and talent in vain."


    After Teacher Yan finished speaking, he glanced around with a strict face, and finally looked at Mo Hua and said, "Mo Hua, follow me."


    "Yes." Mo Hua stood up respectfully and followed Yan to leave the Taoist room.


    Seeing that Teacher Yan had left, the disciples in the room gathered their heads again:


    "It''s over, it''s over, the ink painting is so miserable."


    "The teacher said that someone was lazy, did he say that ink painting?"


    "But I''m lazy, too. Why don''t the teacher look for me?"


    "Can you compare with ink painting? How good is the ink painting formation? It is highly valued by the teaching."


    "Fortunately, the teacher does not value me, so don''t value me..."


    Mo Hua followed Yan Jiaoxue, left the Taoist room, walked through the alchemy room, the weapon refining room, and finally came out of Tongxuan Peak.


    Along the way, Yan Teaching did not say a word. Occasionally, disciples or other teachers greeted the elders of the sect, and nodded or bowed to respond.


    Teacher Yan brought ink paintings to the living room located on Tongming Peak.


    Tongming Peak is the place where the heads, elders, teachers and inner disciples live in practice. It is the first time that the ink painting is here. The environment is indeed much more pure and beautiful. Many courtyards have colorful spiritual flowers and herbs, and some spiritual beasts such as pheasants are walking leisurely.


    Only in Tongming Peak can these pheasants be so leisurely. If you place them on Tongxuan Peak, you will definitely not see the sun the next day.


    Mo Hua remembered the scorched chicken leg that Shuanghu handed him to him.


    Yan Zhixi’s house was arranged in a formation outside the room, and there was a small gossip plate on the door. This should have been arranged by Yan Zhixi himself, and there was no other courtyard or door of the room.


    Teacher Yan''s fingers stroked the Bagua plate a few times, and a light flashed across the door and opened it.


    After entering the house, Teacher Yan sat in front of the table and asked Mo Hua directly:


    "Do you want to be a formation division?"


    Mo Hua said humbly: "The disciples have limited talent, and I am afraid they cannot be the formation master."


    Teacher Yan frowned and said, "It is one thing to think about it or not, and whether or not you have talent is another thing. Don''t just look at the results and lose your original heart. All sentient beings in heaven and earth will die. Will they stop living because of this?"


    Upon hearing this, Mo Hua said seriously: "Disciple wants to be a formation master!"


    "Why do you think?"


    "It is difficult to practice Taoism, and formations can make a living."


    "What else?"


    "A monk seeks the way of heaven and becomes an immortal. If he understands the formation, he can seek the way of heaven."


    Teacher Yan frowned and said, "The way of heaven is far away, and monks may not be able to see the rare things in their entire lives."


    Mo Hua said: "As the teaching says, attaining the Tao lies in heaven, and seeking the Tao lies in man. Since monks seek the Tao, no matter whether they finally attain the Tao or not, they must not lose their desire to seek the Tao."


    Teacher Yan was silent for a moment and nodded, "From the future, we will come to me after class every day. You can go back first today."


    "Yes." Mo Hua didn''t understand why, but he still bowed and said goodbye.


    Teacher Yan watched the ink painting leave, and after a long time he breathed a sigh of relief:


    "He''s a good seedling."
