Asking about longevity

Aunt Xue saw two pairs of watery eyes, and her heart was wavering. ♦♛♡

Madam’s discipline has always been strict, and her requirements for the young lady and the young master are also very high. She has only allowed them to practice and learn formations, alchemy and other spiritual exercises since they were young. On weekdays, the young lady and the young master are not allowed to go out unless there are special festivals. Even if they go out, they are not allowed to go out. Someone must follow you, you must return home before dark, and you are not allowed to stay outside.

Although this made the young master's cultivation outstanding, it also hindered the child's nature.

Sometimes Aunt Xue also wants the two of them to laugh and play like ordinary children, but the madam has high hopes for the young master. If she delays her spiritual practice because of playfulness, she will be guilty of a big sin.

Bai Zisheng said: "Aunt Xue, I'm just going to go shopping for a while. I haven't seen what Tongxian City is like."

Aunt Xue was still hesitating, Bai Zixi's little hand tugged on Aunt Xue's sleeve, and also shouted "Aunt Xue..."

Aunt Xue's heart completely softened, "Okay, but we can only go shopping until Haishi."

"Thank you Aunt Xue!" Bai Zisheng suddenly became happy.

Aunt Xue smiled again and said to Mo Hua: "We are new here and not very familiar with Tongxian City, so I ask you to lead the way."

Aunt Xue's attitude was kind, and Mo Hua looked at the Bai brothers and sisters with bright eyes, not embarrassed to shirk her.

He originally wanted to go back earlier and draw a few more formations, but he had drawn too many formations in recent days, and his meditation skills could not recover, so he might as well rest for a night.

The group of people walked along the street and visited the night market of the Lotus Festival in Tongxian City.

Although Tongxian City is a small fairy city, it is not very prosperous, but the crowds are crisscrossed, the sky is filled with lights, and it has a unique lively style with fireworks.

Mo Hua and Dahu led the way, while the Bai family brothers and sisters walked a few steps behind, looking left and right with unfamiliar and novel eyes. Aunt Xue was still uneasy after all, and followed them silently.

On the way, Shuanghu asked Mo Hua secretly: "Mo Hua, do you know them?"

Mo Hua nodded, "We will be registered disciples of Mr. Zhuang together."

"They are not from Tongxian City."

"No, he seems to be a member of a wealthy family far away..."

"Relatively far? Outside Tongxian City? I haven't been out of Tongxian City yet..."

"It should be further away, probably out of state."

"Out of state... How long will it take?"

Several people felt novel and uneasy about the unfamiliar monastic state.

Xiaohu suddenly asked: "Mo Hua, are you familiar with each other?"

Mo Hua thought for a moment and said, "I'm not very familiar with him. He's barely half a classmate. I don't talk much on weekdays."

Xiaohu nodded and said: "These children of aristocratic families really have nothing to say to us."

Mo Hua felt that this was not right, but after thinking about it, he didn't find anything wrong.

In the world of monasticism, aristocratic families and casual cultivators are very different. The longer a family has a long history and a profound foundation, the more unattainable it is for ordinary casual cultivators. Although monks from aristocratic families and casual cultivators are both monks, they basically cannot be counted as monks at the same time.

The group of people were walking around like this, with Dahu and the other three following Mo Hua, followed by the Bai family brothers and sisters. They always felt a little constrained and didn't have much fun.

Mo Hua saw that they were not acting awkwardly along the way, so he smiled and said: "You can go and play by yourselves. I will take them for a walk and then go back. I still have a few formations to draw in the evening."

Xiaohu exclaimed: "You still have to draw formations at night? It's really hard to be a formation master..."

Shuanghu said: "When we encounter something interesting later, we will buy you one too."

"Do you want the candy man from Pan Datou's house? We want to buy one that looks like a tiger for each of us, and we will buy one for you when the time comes."

Dahu scratched his head and thought for a while, then said in a naive voice: "If anyone dares to bully you, just shout and we will come over to help you beat him up!"

"I know." Mo Hua smiled, and the three of them ran away like birds out of their cage.

When Aunt Xue saw this, she called Mo Hua over and asked, "I wonder what festival it is today that is so lively."

"Aunt Xue, today is the Lotus Festival."

Aunt Xue looked confused, "I have never heard of this festival in the monastic community."

Mo Hua explained: "This is a small festival. It is only celebrated near Tongxian City. It should not be available in other places."

"Why is it called the Lotus Festival?"

Bai Zisheng asked curiously, looking left and right until Bai Zixi also turned to look at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua thought for a while and replied: "I asked my parents when I was a child, and they said that the Lotus Festival is to commemorate the Lianhua Sanren."

"Lianhua Sanren? Could this Lianhua Sanren be a great monk?" Aunt Xue asked.

"For us, it should be considered a big monk, but for the entire monastic world, it may not be too big." Mo Hua said, "I don't know exactly what cultivation level it is. I just heard some older people The old man said that this Lianhua Sanren should be in the late stage of foundation establishment, and of course some say he is in the golden elixir stage."

"It is said that it was extremely hot in Lizhou and the vegetation withered. The hungry monsters came down the mountain to eat people, causing a wave of monsters. The monks of Tongxian City struggled to defend the city, but there were so many monsters that it was difficult to resist. Seeing that the city gate was about to be broken, countless monks were about to die. When the demon beast was in its mouth, the passing Sanren Lianhua resisted the beast tide by itself. In the end, the lives of the monks from Tongxian City were saved, but the Sanren Lianhua also died due to spiritual exhaustion..."

"It is said that today is the day when Lianhua Sanren passed away. Every year from now on, the people of Tongxian City will light all kinds of lotus lanterns and raise the lanterns into the sky to commemorate Lianhua Sanren with a brightly lit scene."

Bai Zixi listened with rapt attention, and Bai Zisheng felt even more excited.

Thinking of the situation back then, it felt like I was in a tide of beasts, fighting with all kinds of ferocious and cruel monsters. After a fierce battle, although he killed the demon leader, he himself died of exhaustion.

Countless years later, many monks still remember their achievements back then, and their names are imprinted on the minds of the monks in the city.

Bai Zisheng said with enthusiasm: "Live without fear of death and live toward death. Such a tragic and soul-stirring life is the destination that a monk should have."

Aunt Xue sighed helplessly: "Master, Madam, you are the only son, so please respect yourself."

Bai Zisheng was a little frustrated and lowered his head.

Mo Hua laughed out loud, and Bai Zisheng said a little sullenly, "Are you laughing at me?"

Mo Hua said perfunctorily: "No."

Bai Zisheng became even more angry, while Bai Zixi's lips were slightly raised, and her face was brighter than the lights in the sky.

Aunt Xue thought for a moment, but still said doubtfully: "The physical body and demonic energy of monsters are far more powerful than monks. Even if it is a monk in the golden elixir stage, it is impossible for him to resist the tide of beasts alone. What's more, a person with a late-stage cultivation of foundation building It is not worthy for the monks of a city to commemorate them in such a costly way..."

As they talked, they walked to a small stall. There were various lotus lanterns on the stall. They were exquisitely shaped and you could buy one for five cents of broken spiritual stones.

Mo Hua took out five pieces of broken spirit stones, placed them on the stall, picked out a lotus lantern in the shape of an indistinguishable auspicious animal, and ignited it with the light. The fire illuminated the auspicious animal and made it lifelike.

The ink painting let go, and the lamp slowly floated to the sky, blending into the lights all over the sky.

Mo Hua looked at the numerous lights in the sky and murmured:

"In this world, even if the monks have perfect cultivation, how many of them can give up their own cultivation and foundation for someone they have never met? What the monks in Tongxian City commemorate is not the cultivation of Lianhua Sanren, but the cultivation of Lianhua Sanren. He has a heart that bless all lives.”

Bai Zisheng nodded, picked a majestic red tiger-shaped lamp, lit it sincerely and raised it to the sky.

Bai Zixi placed a lotus lantern with a golden phoenix pattern, which was bright and gorgeous.

Aunt Xue hesitated for a moment, looked at the ink painting, and finally chose a lotus lantern in the shape of a blue Luan and sent it into the night sky.

Everywhere in Tongxian City, little lights gathered, lighting up the dark night sky.
