Asking about longevity

"This...isn't good..."

Ouyang Mu was a little stunned.

"What's wrong?" Mo Hua said, "I will protect you in the Demon Refining Mountain from now on."

"But, I am a disciple of the Tai'amen..." Ouyang Mu whispered. He glanced at the Taoist robe on Mo Hua's body, "Senior brother, you are from the Taixu Sect."

Mo Hua said matter-of-factly:

"You call me Senior Brother, whether it's Tai Amen or Taixu Men, what does it matter?"

"We need to open up the situation and don't stick to this sectarian view."

"Furthermore, Tai'a Taixu, and of course Chongxu Sect, have the same Qi and connect branches. They have ancestors."

"Counting back more than a thousand years, we are all a family. Why are you being so polite?"

Ouyang Mu nodded slowly, feeling that what Mo Hua said made sense.

"But, I only know how to forge weapons and swords, so I'm afraid I can't help you much, Senior Brother Mo."

Mo Hua said: "Forging a sword is enough!"

He just lacked someone to forge a sword for him.

Whether it's hunting monsters or fighting, there is no shortage of people in Mo Hua.

In the sect, whenever there is a fight, Cheng Mo, Situ Jian, Yang Qianjun and Hao Xuan are basically always on call.

In the Demon Refining Mountain, the mountains and plains are filled with basically his "junior brothers". He can call a group of people just by whistling.

What's more, you can learn ink painting yourself.

His current methods are already very rich.

The insidious one has the art of concealment, and the one who can defend himself and escape is the art of fleeting.

For attacking, there are formations, forbidden techniques, and sword control.

If he leaves the Qianxue state boundary, he can also "summon" Gu Changhuai and Uncle Gu who are in the Golden Core realm, and he can also use the Gu family's secret order to mobilize the Gu family monks.

There are enough manpower for fighting.

However, "professional" monastic talents are scarce.

Currently, there is a particular lack of swordsmiths with orthodox origins, inheritance, and talent.

Seeing that Ouyang Mu was still hesitant, Mo Hua's eyes flickered and he said:

"If you don't want to, then forget it, I can't force you."

After all, Ouyang Mu is a disciple of Tai'amen and a direct descendant of the Ouyang family, so he feels somewhat conflicted about being allowed to mix with himself, a disciple of Taixumen.

This is also human nature.

"Senior Brother Mo, I'm sorry..."

Ouyang Mu felt a little guilty.

Senior Brother Mo treated me so well, but in the end, I rejected Senior Brother Mo's kindness.

"It's okay," Mo Hua smiled, "It's okay if you don't want to mess with me, then we'll just do business. From now on, you can help me make swords and I'll give you merit."

Ouyang Mu was startled and looked a little worried.

Mo Hua probably understood and asked, "Are you worried that Dad won't let you make swords?"

Ouyang Mu nodded.

"Then you have to earn your merits, right?"

"want……"

"Did your father give you meritorious service?" Mo Hua asked again.

Ouyang Mu shook his head, "No, Tai'amen has sect rules, and our Ouyang family's rules are also strict. Within the sect, you have to rely on yourself for everything, you cannot bully others by taking advantage of others, you cannot rely on your status for personal gain, and you have to do your own merits." Earn a little bit..."

"Then besides forging swords, are there any other ways for you to earn merit?"

Ouyang Mu thought hard and finally admitted that he had no other way to earn merit except forging swords.

"Isn't that enough..." Mo Hua said, "Your father won't give you merit, and you have to earn it yourself. Then you can only make swords to earn merit."

"Besides, whether you learn to make swords or learn swordsmanship, they are all matters in the future. The most urgent task is to accumulate merit and practice well."

"Without the present, where would the future be?"

"So you just need to make the sword in a down-to-earth manner now, and there is no need to think about anything else."

Ouyang Mu couldn't help but nodded.

Mo Hua took the opportunity to put some more "pressure" on him and said solemnly:

"Besides, you have to think carefully. There are many swordsmiths in the entire Qianxue State, and you are not the only one."

"In order to practice sword making, a swordsmith needs a large amount of monster materials."

"It's a unique company that can provide long-term stability, provide monster materials, hire you to make swords, and give you the opportunity to perform meritorious deeds."

"If I miss it this time, I'm afraid I won't meet you again in the future..."

When Mo Hua said this, Ouyang Mu immediately became nervous.

Sect missions are up for grabs.

He can't compete with others. Apart from sect teaching, there are very few additional "sword-making" opportunities.

To practice it yourself would require a lot of merit just for the materials.

Ouyang Mu still remembers how much effort he spent on the "Fire Demon Wolf Spine" used to make the sword.

In the end, I still couldn't get it by myself.

It was Senior Brother Mo who had someone kill the fire demon wolf, peel off the spine, and give it to him.

If you don't agree, I'm afraid there will be no such good "sword-making" opportunities in the future.

Ouyang Mu immediately nodded frequently and said:

"Senior Brother Mo, if you don't dislike my shallow skills, you can come to me for any sword you want to make in the future, and I will do my best!"

"good!"

Mo Hua nodded with satisfaction.

Then he thought for a while and said: "I will give you the materials to forge six or seven golden spirit swords like this just now, and then I will consider forging some other spirit swords."

"Okay, Senior Brother Mo."

Ouyang Mu agreed.

After that, Mo Hua found the hawk demon that was strangled in the air by the sword energy and fell to the ground. He peeled off the materials and gave them to Ouyang Mu, asking him to go to the mountain gate to exchange for some merit and keep it for himself.

This poor kid has more than three hundred meritorious deeds all over his body.

If he doesn't help him a little, I'm afraid he won't even be able to afford a ticket to the Demon Refining Mountain...

Ouyang Mu was flattered, but he was too cash-strapped to refuse, so he solemnly said in his heart:

I must make a good sword and repay Senior Brother Mo for his kindness.

After leaving Demon Refining Mountain, the two of them returned to the sect side by side.

Because Tai'a Mountain and Taixu Mountain are adjacent to each other, the way back to the sect is in the same direction.

While walking, Mo Hua suddenly remembered a question and asked:

"Xiao Mumu, how old are you?"

Ouyang Mu thought for a moment and said, "I am born in March, the 2012th year of the Taoist calendar."

Mo Hua was a little surprised.

Xiaomu was actually the same age as me, and even a few months older than me.

After all, I am younger than him.

However, Xiaomu seemed to be used to calling himself "senior brother", so there was no need to mention such a trivial matter.

Anyway, in Taixu Sect, there are a bunch of disciples who are older than me, calling me "little senior brother".

The two of them walked and chatted. When they arrived in front of the mountain gate, they went back to the sect.

Mo Hua returned to Taixumen, while Ouyang Mu returned to Taiamen.

Tai'a Mountain is simple and solemn. It is not as quiet and quiet as Taixu Gate. Instead, it has more craftsmanship from peak to peak, brick to tile.

Ouyang Mu lowered his head and silently returned to the disciple residence alone.

He didn't say hello to anyone on the way.

Naturally, no one greeted him.

In Tai'amen, he was alone most of the time.

He's used to it.

Going straight back to the disciple's residence, Ouyang Mu closed the door and stayed alone in the room. He took out the sword diagram Mo drew for him and looked at it again and again.

At the same time, he was thinking and annotating, thinking about how to forge the spirit sword better according to Brother Mo's wishes.

As he thought about it, the scene in Ouyang Mu's mind suddenly appeared in the ink painting of "controlling a sword" during the day, with golden light escaping from the sky and strangling the monster.

Senior Brother Mo is so strong in sword control!

So strong!

He was a bit clumsy in language and couldn't think of other words to describe it. After turning over and over again, he could only lament the word "so strong".

Although Senior Brother Mo seems to have poor qualifications, his "sword control skills" are better than those of all the disciples of the same class he has seen.

Ouyang Mu felt a little excited for no reason.

This powerful sword control technique uses a spiritual sword forged by oneself!

Senior Brother Mo even praised himself!

Ouyang Mu couldn't help but think that if the spiritual sword he forged was better and of higher quality, wouldn't his sword control skills be even stronger?

What would stronger sword control skills look like?

Ouyang Mu thought expectantly.

…

After that, Ouyang Mu became more enthusiastic about making swords.

His character is serious and responsible, and sword making is still his hobby, so refining the spirit sword makes him even more focused.

By the next ten days, he had forged three more spiritual swords.

"Because I still have to practice and go to class, I can only forge in my spare time, so I only made three..." Ouyang Mu explained to Mo Hua.

"It's okay, it's okay. It's already fine."

Mo Hua encouraged.

After this period of time, Mo Hua discovered that Xiaomu's sword-making talent was actually excellent.

Just some lack of confidence.

Moreover, due to the lack of sword-making materials and the fact that his father asked him to give up sword-making and learn swordsmanship, he had many worries in his heart, so he couldn't let go.

"Don't worry, you can learn to make swords. Just tell me what materials you want. Also, if you have any new ideas or ideas about sword making, you can also mention it to me..."

Mo Hua decided to cultivate Xiaomu's "unconventional" approach to weapon refining.

Because of his own special situation.

Whether it is customized spiritual weapons or forged swords, they are all different from the general weapon refining specifications.

If Xiaomu can rely on him, then he won't have to worry about refining weapons in the future and can focus on the formation.

Study the formation and design the formation diagram yourself.

Xiaomu studied the weapon refining map.

Then, the things that were researched were asked to be mass-produced by Master Gu, who was based in the Gushan Artifact Refining Shop.

They have specializations in their crafts and can perfectly divide and cooperate with each other.

Mo Hua looked at Ouyang Mu expectantly.

Ouyang Mu was a little confused, but suddenly, he still felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavy...

"Okay, Senior Brother Mo."

After that, Xiaomu made rapid progress.

Mo Hua began to let go little by little.

Not only did he have to refine the spiritual swords, but also some customized spiritual weapons. Mo Hua explained the ideas and suitable formations, and then left it to Xiao Mu to design the weapon refining diagram.

Xiaomu carefully designed the design, discussed it with Mo Hua, solved the problem of the formation, and then decided on the weapon refining formation diagram.

Mo Hua showed the weapon refining formation diagram to Master Gu and was highly praised by Master Gu.

"This weapon refining formation diagram is exquisitely conceived and suitable for use. According to my standards, it is almost impeccable..."

Master Gu pondered for a moment and asked: "This...isn't this something that the young master made by himself?"

He still knew how much the ink painting weighed.

In terms of formation, it is unfathomable.

But when it comes to weapon refining, although I have wonderful ideas that are often unexpected, my foundation is still too poor and I often make common sense mistakes.

Mo Hua nodded and said: "I asked a... junior fellow from a sword-making family to help with the design."

Master Gu was slightly startled and praised: "No wonder, the young master's junior brother has a solid foundation and a deep family background."

Mo Hua also nodded in agreement and said:

"Yes."

…

After that, the spiritual weapon designed by Ouyang Mu was put into mass production through Master Gu.

After making it, I tried it on Mo Hua and found that it was fine.

Entering the Demon Refining Mountain again, Mo Hua took Ouyang Mu to the top of the Taixu Gate mountain to meet with his "little junior brothers".

Mo Hua introduces to you:

"This junior brother's surname is Ouyang, and his single name is the character "木". He is a disciple of Tai'amen. He is very good at making swords. Please take good care of him in the Demon Refining Mountain from now on."

Tai Amen disciple?

A group of Taixu Sect disciples were a little strange.

How come the disciples of Tai Amen are also hanging out with the younger senior brother?

However, the little senior brother always has a deep meaning in what he does.

Brother, please take care of me. Just take care of me.

What's more, Tai'amen has a relationship with Taixumen, so friendly exchanges between disciples are not a bad thing, and they are not exclusive.

The Taixu Sect disciples cupped their hands and said:

"Hello, Junior Brother Ouyang."

Between sects, the seniority of brothers and sisters is first calculated based on their seniority.

Those in the higher class are senior brothers and sisters, and those in the lower class are junior brothers and sisters.

If they are in the same year, usually the calculation is based on age.

The older ones are senior brothers and sisters, otherwise they are senior brothers and junior sisters.

Ouyang Mu was thin and looked a little younger, so everyone called him junior brother.

Ouyang Muwei's dark and dull face turned red for a moment, and he stuttered:

"Hello everyone."

He had never been stared at by so many people at the same time.

I had never been called "junior brother" by so many people before, so I felt a little at a loss for a while.

Mo Hua added: "In the future, if your spiritual weapon is broken and needs to be repaired, you can go to Junior Brother Ouyang."

"good!"

The disciples of Taixu Sect said in unison.

They usually have inherited spiritual weapons and custom-made spiritual weapons, which they will buy from the Gu Family Merchant Pavilion "designated by the younger senior brother" in Taixu City.

But if these spiritual weapons are broken, it will be troublesome to repair them.

Especially spiritual swords are expensive and cumbersome to repair.

It would be best if a professional swordsmith could repair it.

Allowing Xiao Mumu to meet everyone is equivalent to inviting him to "join the gang". The purpose of Mo Hua was initially achieved, so he waved his hand and said:

"It's getting late, let's go hunting monsters."

"Yes, little senior brother."

Some people dispersed.

There were also some disciples who came up to Mo Hua in twos and threes and asked:

"Senior Brother, I'm not good at using the demon hunting formation you taught yesterday. Shouldn't I use my spiritual consciousness to activate it?"

"Is my consciousness too weak? Why can't I control it..."

"Senior Brother, please tell me when you have time, how to kill Black Bear Bear..."

"I want to forge a pair of bolas and use bear paws instead of hammers."

"Senior Brother, are there any Taoist robes that can restrain the power of earth-type demons, and custom-made spiritual weapons that can break armor? I went to the Gu Family Shang Pavilion to ask, but they didn't know..."

"Senior brother, we will kill a money python later. Blood is relatively rare. Do you want to save the blood for you..."

…

Mo Hua tried his best to answer every question.

The disciples received a satisfactory reply and dispersed.

Ouyang Mu on the side was horrified.

Only then did he realize that Senior Brother Mo's status in Taixu Sect was much higher than he thought.

Even his elder brother, who is extremely talented, gentle and elegant, can be called the leader of his class, and has a high prestige in Tai'amen, but he definitely does not have this kind of appeal...

Ouyang Mu's eyes were clear, his temperament was easy-going, and he had no airs. He looked like an innocent boy's ink painting, and he felt a little lost.

"What's wrong?" Mo Hua asked.

Ouyang Mu smiled, "Nothing..."

…

After a period of time, Ouyang Mu became more conscientious and conscientious.

The spirit sword in Mo Hua's hand was optimized several times under Ouyang Mu's suggestion.

Each time it is optimized, the power becomes stronger.

But gradually, the quality of the spiritual sword reached a certain limit.

The power of Mo Huayu's sword has also reached a bottleneck.

"Senior Brother Mo, use the materials of the first-grade monster beast to fix the sword formation. Under the specific shape, the current power of the sword can only be so..."

"If you want to improve it further, you must use second-grade intermediate-level monster materials or above."

"But these materials are difficult to smelt. With my current cultivation level, I can't use them well..."

"Secondly, there is the sword formation..."

After Ouyang Mu came into contact with ink painting, he also understood the principle of "sword control" in ink painting. He felt that it was a bit tricky, but also felt that it was very "cheap".

But at the same time, he had to admit that this kind of sword control was terrifyingly powerful, especially in the hands of the unfathomable Senior Brother Mo.

Ouyang Mu said, "The power of this kind of sword control basically relies on the sword formation. The stronger the sword formation, the stronger the power of the sword."

"By the way, Senior Brother Mo," Ouyang Mu asked Mo Hua again, "Is the sword formation passed down in your family only the gold sword formation?"

"A sword formation passed down from the family?" Mo Hua was stunned.

Ouyang Mu was confused, "Didn't you tell me that?"

"Oh yes……"

I almost forgot about ink painting.

He told Xiaomu that the "Broken Gold Sword Formation" on his sword was the gold sword formation inherited from his family.

Xiaomu had a good heart, so he believed what Mo Hua said.

"Yes, that's right, it's passed down from my family."

Mo Hua emphasized, then shook his head and said, "This is the only one passed down in our family, there are no others for the time being."

From now on, whether the family will "pass it on" or not depends on whether other sects or families give it to themselves.

Ouyang Mu felt a little regretful when he heard this, "If there are other sword formations, we can try spiritual swords with multiple attributes and shapes."

Mo Hua sighed slightly.

Indeed...

Then his eyes flashed, and he asked, "Can we not use the sword formation?"

"Not using the sword formation?"

"Use other formations, such as killing formations or something..." Mo Hua said.

Ouyang Mu shook his head, "That won't work. Not all formations can be thrown into the sword casually."

"The sword formation is special. Although I don't know much about formations, from the perspective of sword forging, the sword formation is the formation that best fits the sword."

"Swords can also maximize the power of the sword formation."

"Other formations have low compatibility with spirit swords, and very few can exert their power through controlling the sword."

"If you really want to use it, you can only change the formation into a sword formation..."

Mo Hua was stunned when he heard this, and then he said in surprise:

"Change to a sword formation? The formation can also be changed into a sword formation?!"

Ouyang Mu was asked by Mo Hua, and suddenly felt a little guilty, and he was not sure.

He knew that Mo Hua was a powerful formation master, so he spoke more cautiously when it came to formations:

"I don't know this..."

Ouyang Mu whispered, "This is what I heard from my father and the elder of the sect when they were chatting. I don't know if it's true or not."

"It's also possible that I heard it wrong..."

Mo Hua's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pondered in his heart.

Little Wood wouldn't lie.

This sentence...is not impossible.

When drawing the sword formation before, Mo Hua didn't think about it. Now thinking back, he suddenly realized:

The "sword pattern" in the Broken Gold Sword Formation of the Broken Gold Gate is particularly like a "variant" of a certain type of gold formation pattern.

Sword pattern is a variant formation pattern.

Sword formation is a variant formation!

This makes sense...

Mo Hua was very confused before. The categories of formations mentioned by Mr. Xun are numerous, from Yin and Yang, Three Talents and Four Symbols, to Seven Stars and Eight Diagrams.

But this does not include sword formations.

The sword formation is a special type of formation, but it obviously cannot be counted as any of the types from Liang Yi to Bagua.

If the sword formation is a "variant" formation, it would be much more reasonable.

This type of variant formation does not conflict with the larger types of formations, but rather interweaves with each other.

Theoretically, formations from Liang Yi to Bagua can be changed into "sword formations" through certain formation pattern variations.

The earth fire formation can be changed into the earth fire sword formation.

The earth killing formation can be changed into the earth killing sword formation.

...

However, this kind of thing is simple to say, but it must be extremely complicated and difficult to study in practice.

Otherwise, the sword formation would not be the core secret inheritance of the sword family.

Based on Mo Hua's experience in formation, the unified formation pattern variation, changing the formation pattern into a "sword pattern", involves the most profound and obscure formation theory.

"What formation theory will be involved?"

Mo Hua racked his brains and thought hard, and suddenly thought of a term:

Formation flow!

"Sword Dao Formation Flow?"

The formation flow involves the origin of the formation and is close to the essence of the formation.

If one comprehends the origin of the Dao and masters a certain type of "Sword Dao Formation Flow", then one can transform the heaven and earth formation into a "sword formation" through the formation pattern variation?

Mo Hua's heart trembled.

If this assumption is correct, then...

Mo Hua's mind turned rapidly and continued to speculate:

If he applied the principles of the reverse spirit formation or the fusion of spiritual power to the formation, and then used the sword Dao formation flow to transform the formation pattern into a sword formation.

Then wouldn't it be...

The spiritual power collapse sword formation and the spiritual power fusion sword formation? !
