Asking About Longevity Chapter 650

Chapter 650 Breakthrough

Qiao Laoliu came back from the outer hall and saw the Fire Buddha. He looked frightened and said in a trembling voice:

“Brother, I've seen a ghost. The outer hall is empty and many brothers have died…”

Fire Buddha's eyes were sharp, "How did you die?"

"have no idea…"

Woodman Laoliu muttered.

Fire Buddha remained silent, but his blood was boiling and his evil aura was getting stronger.

Qiao Laoliu turned pale and said quickly:

“It seems that someone…killed him without anyone noticing, and then dumped the body into the river, with the flesh and blood melting away, leaving no trace…”

 “There are still a few left in the nave…”

 “The outer temple is almost…all dead…”

Qiao Laoliu swallowed his throat and looked uneasy.

"impossible!"

Died so silently?

"Me too…"

"died?!"

 Everyone looked at each other with a chill in their hearts.

“This is the border of the second-grade state. Even if Yuhua comes, we won't be able to kill so many people in a short time...”

"Could it be... Dao Ting's Yuhua Zhenren is here?" A demonic cultivator asked in horror.

Died in his own privy room.

 “Is the ghost sending us a message?”

Everyone pushed the door open and saw a cold corpse lying in the secret room. There were blood holes in his forehead and Dantian. His heart veins had been stabbed several times, his hands were broken, and the blood had dried up.

This person had a relationship with Mo Hua, and even hunted down Mo Hua's Yin Leizi.

 “This is the temple…”

 “Shut up, you idiot!”

 But among the demon cultivators in the palace, no one knew about it.

At the late stage of foundation building, Master Yuan, the highly respected evil formation master, has nineteen lines of spiritual consciousness, terrifying formation attainments, and a weird and crazy mind...

Yin Leizi frowned and said:

 “How did they get in?”

 “I have chatted with Corpse Brother before…”

 The corpse looked very miserable, but judging from the figure and dress, it was Master Yuan.

 “You can't be so despicable even if you kill Ji Zhu in the form of a feather…”

Yin Leizi said with anger on his face, "...that **** was very arrogant in his words. With his cultivation, there is no way he could die without a complete body in such a short time..."

 “And that bitch, Scholar Yu…”

 The demon cultivators were shocked.

 “Master Yuan!”

 “Who killed him?”

 “There's a mole among us?”

 The formation in front of the secret room door has been broken.

"He is still scolding me. Sooner or later I have to kill that beast..."

The demon cultivators then remembered that all the disturbances in the entire demon palace and every move of the patrolling demon cultivators were monitored by Master Yuan.

The demon cultivators mobilized their body skills one after another and rushed towards the Privy Council of the Yuan Magnetic Array in the middle hall of the Demon Cave.

 “If they are all dead, that means...”

 “I also passed a book with Rentu…”

With this said, several other demon cultivators behind Fire Buddha also remembered.

Behind the Fire Buddha, there was a tall and thin demon cultivator with a sinister and pale face.

 The fishy wind blew up, and the blood flashed.

 “Stop your mother's bullshit!”

 “The fire foreman also scolded me...”

 “Who can kill…”

The demon cultivators were frightened and angry for a moment, and they all made an uproar:

The Fire Buddha's face was indifferent, his evil aura condensed, his eyes slowly turned, and suddenly he remembered something, with a hint of sharpness in his eyes.

 Everyone was talking a lot, and then they gradually calmed down and looked at the Fire Buddha silently.

Fire Buddha stepped forward to perform an autopsy on Master Yuan.

As he watched, the Fire Buddha was suddenly startled.

 “This is the wind spiritual power…”

 “Very vigorous…”

“It's not just the late stage of foundation building, it's also deliberately suppressed, it's... golden elixir..."

"Golden elixir, wind spiritual power, this is..."

Fire Buddha's eyes were blood red, his hands were trembling, and two heart-like fireballs were beating violently in his heart.

 The old wound on the chest suddenly hurts as if it had been cut into pieces with a thousand knives...

 “Gu-Chang-Huai…”

 The Fire Buddha spoke word for word.

His face was cold, but blood-like flames were seeping out of his red cassock, and above the flames, there was a faint gray evil spirit...

Qiao Laoliu said with a frightened face:

 “Brother!”

 Other demon cultivators were all silent and did not dare to speak out.

Seeing the anger rising up, the whole body was on fire, and the evil spirit was about to get out of control.

Fire Buddha gritted his teeth and said "Amitabha", and then recited Buddhist sutras, suppressing his mind and suppressing the violent murderous intention in his heart.

 His face became compassionate again.

 Other demon cultivators also breathed a sigh of relief silently.

“It's not the inner ghost, it's Daoting Si Dian Si…”

 Huo Buddha said calmly, and then continued to look at Master Yuan's body.

 “Both hands were broken…”

“He was hit **** the head with a stick-like spiritual weapon…”

“The neck was strangled...the heart was stabbed from behind with a short knife...”

"The eyes are protruding and the face is burnt. Is this... fireball?"

 “Whose fireball technique? It's interesting…”

 Fire Buddha probably replayed the assassination process of Master Yuan in his mind, and then looked at the dark green blood stains on the ground, and his expression was startled.

 “Poison?”

 The dagger is quenched with poison?

 Fire Buddha frowned:

“This is not like Gu Changhuai's behavior...”

“After not seeing each other for many years, has he become mean?”

Moreover, Master Yuan soaked blood wine with the eyes of the demon, and borrowed the evil thoughts of the demon, and his spiritual consciousness was extremely strong. How could he be killed without even using any means of resistance?

 “Could it be that... Gu Changhuai has helpers?”

Fire Buddha's eyes were slightly trembling.

“This person has a careful mind and ruthless methods. He is also proficient in the art of spiritual thoughts, as well as the method of formation..."

“This is the only way to make sure that Master Yuan, who has strong evil thoughts, can be killed at the first glance when he is unable to resist..."

Is there another master beside Gu Changhuai?

 The fire Buddha's expression became more and more solemn.

 “Brother, what should we do now?”

Yin Leizi asked in a low voice when he saw Huo Buddha frowning and thinking for a long time.

Fire Buddha's eyes were lowered, he thought for a moment, and said:

 “Go back to the inner hall, guard it tightly, and destroy everything!”

 The expressions of the others changed.

 “Big brother?!”

 “Total destruction?”

Yin Leizi whispered: "It doesn't have to be like this...that's..."

Qiao Laoliu also said: "That's right, brother, we can still hold on to the temple and close the door tightly. Even the Dao Tingsi can't attack for the time being..."

 Other demon cultivators also echoed:

"good!"

"If the lackeys of the Daotingsi come, we will kill them all and use them as sacrifices. It will all depend on us whether they leave or stay..."

 “A bunch of lackeys, give them face?”

 “Kill them all!”

 Fire Buddha shook his head, "You don't understand..."

“Gu Changhuai is a very difficult person to deal with. He is different from the ordinary wine bag and rice bag of Daotingsi...”

"Since they can come in, it means that this devil's cave has begun to leak..."

 “The outer palace cannot be defended…”

 “We can only stay in the inner temple.”

“And, just in case, everything in the inner temple must be destroyed, leaving no trace…”

 “The temple has a lot at stake…”

“Once there are any signs of exposure, they must be completely eliminated and no outsiders can know...”

The Fire Buddha looked solemn and could not refuse.

 Other demon cultivators also felt awe-struck and nodded in agreement.

Fire Buddha's expression calmed down slightly, "After cleaning up the inner hall, we will find a way to rush out. I know that you have been hiding here these days and are a little depressed..."

"After you go out, you can be wild for a while, I will not restrain you..."

“Then we…left Qianzhou, where the sky was high and the sea was vast, we were at ease…”

“When the storm subsides in a few decades, we will come back to settle old accounts...”

When all the demonic cultivators heard that "you have been wild for a while", they all looked lewd and said with a smile: "I'll follow you, brother!"

So everyone took Master Yuan's body, left the secret room, and walked back to the inner hall.

 The Fire Buddha walked last.

Before entering the dark and chaotic inner hall, with no idea of ​​what was hidden inside, the Fire Buddha suddenly stopped and looked back at the huge outer hall.

 A doubt came to mind:

“Master Yuan has died a long time ago... Who is the person who talked to me about Buddhism?”

Fire Buddha frowned and thought for a moment, then turned around and walked into the depths of the Demon Palace.

The door to the inner hall slowly closed, locking the Fire Buddha and the unknown secrets inside.

Outside the Devil's Cave.

Gu Changhuai went back to dispatch manpower.

The ink painting is on the stone bridge, protected by Gu Quan and Gu An, who are dismantling various warning and trap formations on the bridge one by one.

After the demolition was completed, Mo Hua sat at the bridge and waited.

 After waiting for a long time, no one came.

 “It's just a matter of manpower. Will it take so long?”

Mo Hua muttered silently.

According to Gu Changhuai, the chief executive of the Daoting Division is stationed just outside the sky. Logically speaking, they can gather here in half an hour.

 What happened?

 Ink painting is a bit confusing.

Since he had to stare at the devil's cave, Mo Hua could only wait peacefully.

An unknown amount of time passed before the bridge on the other side became bustling with people and the atmosphere of many monks.

"coming!"

 Ink painting refreshed.

 Gu Quan was on the other side to respond.

 After a while, many executive officers of Daotingsi began to cross the bridge in batches.

In order to keep a low profile, Mo Hua kept his figure hidden and watched them cross the bridge.

Just looking at it, Mo Hua was slightly startled.

 This number of people...seems a bit too much?

“Didn't Uncle Gu say two hundred and eighty? Why does it seem like there are more than four hundred people now?”

 Ink painting is a bit confusing.

 When the more than 400 chief executives had all crossed the stone bridge, Mo Hua finally saw Gu Changhuai at the end of the team.

 It's just that Gu Changhuai's face doesn't look good.

Mo Hua then approached him and asked in a low voice:

“Uncle Gu, why are there so many people?”

Gu Changhuai looked unhappy, "People from the Xiao family are here too..."

 The Xiao family?

Mo Hua suddenly thought, "The Xiao family with a smiling face?"

Gu Changhuai was startled, and then realized who the "Smiling Tiger" Mo Hua was talking about was, and sighed:

 “Don't use random nicknames if you have nothing to do…”

"It's okay, I didn't say it in front of him..." Mo Hua said.

Gu Changhuai couldn't do anything with ink painting.

Mo Hua asked again: "Did... the news leaked?"

Gu Changhuai's eyes narrowed but he didn't answer.

Mo Hua raised his delicate brows and asked again:

“Then what does the Xiao family do?”

 “Being a mole?”

 “To tip off the news, or to disrupt the situation?”

Gu Changhuai glared at Mo Hua lightly, "Don't talk about these things without evidence..."

Then Gu Changhuai sighed slightly, "The Xiao family came here this time, probably because they want to share the meat and grab some credit..."

 “Get the credit?”

“The stronghold of the Demon Cave, the hundreds of demon cultivators, the fire Buddha who exterminated the family...” Gu Changhuai said, “Any one of these is a piece of fat.”

“Now these fat meats are put on a plate. The Xiao family wants to strengthen their power in Daotingsi and promote their disciples. How can they not be greedy..."

 “Oh…” Mo Hua nodded.

No wonder others often refer to the monks of Daotingsi as lackeys, hawks and dogs.

Hawks and dogs will work hard only when they have meat to eat. When the Xiao family saw "oil and water", they naturally wanted to "act vigorously and resolutely" and took the initiative.

Gu Changhuai glanced at the ink painting and said doubtfully:

“Are you saying bad things about Daoting Si again in your heart?”

Mo Hua had a serious look on his face, "Uncle Gu, I am half a Daotingsi person now, how can I say bad things about Daotingsi?"

 Gu Changhuai nodded.

“But I'm just a supernumerary. It can be counted as a supernumerary, or it can't be counted as a supernumerary. My status is more 'flexible'..."

Mo Hua added silently in his heart.

“By the way, Smiling Face…Isn't Xiao Diansi here?” Mo Hua asked again.

Just now, all the Daotingsi monks passed by the ink painting.

It was like a "military parade" in the ink painting. I checked around and found no smiling tiger, not even the monks of the Golden Core Stage.

 “No.” Gu Changhuai said.

Mo Hua was puzzled, "Who in the Xiao family will lead the team?"

Gu Changhuai pointed to a young, outstanding-looking and talented monk among the officials and said:

“Xiao Tianquan, a direct descendant of the Xiao family, in the late stage of foundation building, just graduated from the sect, and was admitted to the Daoting Department as the Executive Secretary…”

“This is the core disciple of the Xiao family…”

 “The Xiao family wants to gain some merit for him so that he can be promoted easily.”

"oh…"

Mo Hua took a look at Xiao Tianquan and saw that he had his head held high and his brows and eyes were full of high spirits. He had the feeling of a proud man who had never suffered at all and had a smooth life.

 Born in a noble family, graduated from a large sect, then joined the Daoting Division, promoted all the way to the top of the Daoting Division, and then was promoted to the Central Daoting, with a high position of authority, and became a master...

 This is the template of the so-called "Tianjiao".

 Those who are above me feel like I am a completely different type of person...

 It's just his name…

 “Xiao Tianquan…”

Mo Hua fell into deep thought, and then his eyes lit up:

 “Howling Sky Dog?”

 Gu Changhuai on the side felt a headache after hearing this. Then he took a deep breath and emphasized again:

 “It's okay...don't give others random nicknames.”

 “Oh, oh.” Mo Hua said perfunctorily.

The Xiao family is willing to use such big things as the Fire Buddha, the Demon Palace, and the family extermination case as a "mat" for their direct descendants to pave the way for future promotions.

 There is nothing to say about the ink paintings.

 He still cares about the Fire Buddha.

 And there is one thing that Mo Hua is very concerned about.

Mo Hua glanced at Gu Changhuai secretly, thought about it, and asked in a low voice:

“Uncle Gu, are you and Huo Buddha enemies?”

 Gu Changhuai's expression changed, "How do you know?"

 “I guessed it…” Mo Hua said.

He felt that every time Uncle Gu mentioned or thought about the Fire Buddha, his expression would become solemn unconsciously, and there would be an urge to kill someone in his eyes.

Hence, Mo Hua judged that the two of them must have had a grudge.

Gu Changhuai said with a cold face, "This matter is not complicated at all..."

“Back then I almost killed the evil beast Fire Buddha…”

“It's a pity that I was still building a foundation at that time, so my strength was a bit weak, so I only broke part of his heart and allowed him to escape…”

“At that station, I killed all his other brothers.”

 “And he…”

Gu Changhuai paused for a moment, his handsome face showed an angry look, and he gritted his teeth and said:

“He also killed a few of my classmates who graduated with me...”

Mo Hua felt a chill in his heart. He looked at Gu Changhuai with sympathy on his face and said without hesitation:

“Seeing his comrades being killed, Uncle Gu was helpless, so he harbored hatred and his temperament changed drastically. He became cold and withdrawn, unwilling to talk to others, and was afraid that those close to him would encounter misfortune again..."

Mo Hua then thought to himself and said...

Gu Changhuai's face darkened and he said angrily:

 “What are you talking about?”

 “This has been my temperament from the beginning!”

"What does it matter to others whether you are lonely or unsociable? Why should I care about those boring people? Why should I give them a good look if they are just like a dog?"

"ah…"

Mo Hua was stunned.

 He didn't guess any of them correctly.

 The human heart is indeed complex.

“As for those colleagues who died in the hands of the Fire Buddha…”

Gu Changhuai sighed, "Actually, you're not too familiar with me, but I can't stand it when an innocent person dies miserably at the hands of a demon cultivator."

“Sometimes when I dream at night, I dream about these...”

 “Hate one's own powerlessness.”

“I didn't kill all these evil monks.”

"But the evil beast, Fire Buddha, escaped from my hands and is still making trouble and doing evil everywhere..."

"As long as he doesn't die, I will remember him forever..."

Mo Hua looked at Gu Changhuai with admiration.

Seemingly arrogant, a pair of "handsome and bad men", uncle Gu, who is very popular, is so decent and jealous ...

It turns out that a person cannot be judged by his appearance.

Mo Hua sighed: "Uncle Gu, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

He never thought that Uncle Gu and Huo Buddha would have a life-and-death grudge.

Gu Changhuai was speechless and gave Mo Hua a roll of his eyes:

“Can I talk to you little brat? If you don't ask, I don't even want to tell you now.”

Mo Hua was startled, thought for a while, and nodded:

"Right…"

Your Excellency, especially an old monk who has lived for more than a hundred years, indeed has many old memories that he does not want to mention to outsiders.

 Unlike myself, being honest with others.

Mo Hua said silently in his heart.

After a while, more than 400 executioners had completed their arrangements, formed a formation, and surrounded the gate of the Demon Cave layer by layer.

Gu Changhuai just stood up and was about to say something.

The genius of the Xiao family, Xiao Tianquan, walked up to Gu Changhuai with a confident face and recommended himself:

“Gu Diansi, please leave the matter of breaking down the door to me, the Xiao family!”

Gu Changhuai looked at him and said calmly:

“Xiao Zhisi, when you enter Daotingsi, let alone talk about the Xiao family. Daotingsi is not from your Xiao family. In the final analysis, people from your Xiao family are also members of Daotingsi.”

Xiao Tianquan's face turned pale, feeling that his face had been swept away, and there was a hint of hidden resentment in his eyes.

Gu Changhuai saw it clearly and shook his head slightly.

 There is really no contrast, there is no harm...

Mo Hua, this kid, is not that annoying even if he is full of bad intentions.

On the contrary, this kind of kid from an aristocratic family is hypocritical on the surface, disagrees with each other, and can't suppress the resentment in his heart. It's inexplicably annoying to look at.

Gu Changhuai sneered in his heart, but after a while, he remembered something and nodded:

"But you took the initiative to ask for help, which is commendable for your courage. I will leave it to you to break down the door."

Xiao Tianquan suppressed the resentment in his eyes and said gratefully:

 “Thank you, Gu Diansi.”

After that, he gave orders, letting the chief executive of the Xiao family take the lead, and other chief executives of the Gu family as assistants, to set up and break the formation, and at the same time forcibly broke the formation, trying to open the door of the devil's cave.

Gu Changhuai stood aside and watched.

Mo Hua was right next to Gu Changhuai.

This time the ink painting is not invisible.

Since he is going to attack the Demon Palace and capture the Fire Buddha, he has to show up anyway. He just needs to keep a low profile and pretend to be a "bastard".

 Others won't pay much attention to him.

Even if they cared, they didn't dare to ask as long as they were with Uncle Gu who said "no strangers should be allowed in".

Even Xiao Tianquan glanced at the ink paintings intentionally or unintentionally.

But seeing that the ink paintings only had middle-to-low-grade spiritual roots, his eyes automatically ignored the ink paintings.

 The goal was broken smoothly.

 Because Mo Hua was already inside and had tampered with the formation of the gate.

The Xiao family obviously made a big deal and asked the Xiao family's formation master to draw a formation outside the gate of the Demon Palace. They also used many precious spiritual weapons and talismans to force the gate of the Demon Palace open.

The formations drawn by the Xiao family formation master are useless.

 This is very clear in the ink painting.

 The useful ones are spiritual weapons and talismans.

But the monks of the Xiao family didn't know it. They saw that the devil's cave was blasted open, the stone door like an evil eye was blasted with a big crack, the surrounding door stones like fangs were shattered, and inexplicable blood flowed out.

They all praised: "Xiao Zhisi is wise!"

 “Excellent command!”

 Some executive officers who came from small families and did not have a big background also bit the bullet and followed up with praise:

 “Xiao Zhisi is young and promising...”

 “It will become a great weapon!”

Xiao Tianquan looked calm, as if he was accustomed to this kind of flattery.

 But after a while, a monk exclaimed.

 “The blood on the door...is poisonous!”

Xiao Tianquan immediately ran away. Some of the executives who were close to him had been polluted, their smells were **** and filthy, and their expressions had changed drastically.

 There was an instant commotion all around.

 After a while, it calmed down.

 A dozen or so executors who were poisoned by blood took pills and rested aside.

These elixirs were produced by the Xiao family, and they were claimed to be intact to avoid any stain on the record of "Xiao Zhisi".

 This is what Gu Changhuai said.

Mo Hua was stunned when he heard this.

These aristocratic families really have a lot of scheming intentions...

After breaking through the gate, we came to the outer hall.

There was no resistance as originally expected. The outer hall was empty, and not a single demon cultivator was seen.

 The same goes for the nave.

 The door to the inner sanctum was closed.

As expected, these demon cultivators were guarding the inner hall, not knowing what they were doing inside.

Xiao Tianquan sneered, "Standing tight in the inner hall, waiting for us to catch a turtle in the jar? How stupid!"

Xiao Tianquan was still about to say something, but suddenly he glanced at Gu Changhuai with some fear.

Gu Changhuai remained calm and nodded slightly.

  meaning, let others do as they please.

 Xiao Tianquan was relieved.

But he was still muttering in his heart. Apart from his bad temper and lack of expression, this Gu Diansi didn't seem to be such a difficult person to deal with.

 Why do the uncles and uncles in my clan tell me to be wary of him?

 After that, the Xiao family took charge and began to attack the inner palace.

 The means are similar to those outside.

Mo Hua was behind, still standing by and not taking any action.

This kind of thing is not his turn yet.

He didn't want to show off his formation in front of so many Daotingsi monks.

Especially this Roaring Sky Dog, he is still very narrow-minded.

If you steal his limelight and share his credit, you will definitely be resented by him.

 It's thankless.

It's just that the level of the Xiao family's formation masters is really limited. They use spiritual weapons and talismans to attack, and the progress is really slow.

Mo Hua could only be patient and wait aside.

Three and a half days have passed now, and there are still three and a half days to go.

 There is barely enough time.

The inner hall is also locked by the formation.

 If you want to break through the inner hall, you must either solve the formation or break down the gate.

Mo Hua took a look and found that the formation was difficult to understand, and he couldn't understand the second-grade high-level formation either.

 In this case, the inner palace can only use brute force to break the formation.

The Xiao family has no shortage of people, spiritual stones, spiritual weapons, or talismans, so they focus on breaking the formation as a supplement and as a supplement.

 In the ink painting, five colors of light can be seen, one after another.

 One after another precious second-grade talismans were consumed.

The chief executive took turns to use Taoist magic to forcefully bombard the door of the inner hall.

I also saw Mo Hua for the first time. How do the "formation blind" people who don't understand the formations do it when faced with the formations...

 Lasted for most of the day, only a "bang" was heard, and the door of the inner hall slowly collapsed.

 “It actually broke...”

Mo Hua was a little surprised. He looked at the formation around the crack of the door and felt a little enlightened.

 This Demonic Temple has not yet been built.

 Near the gate, some adjacent formations are relatively weak.

Xiao Tianquan and his men accidentally hit and bumped into each other, and by chance, they broke some of the formations inside, causing the overall formation to become loose.

 In this way, the door of the inner hall can be broken open in most of the day.

 Xiao Tianquan didn't understand this.

 He really felt that it was by himself and by the ability of the Xiao family that he had breached the gate head-on.

 “It's just a demon temple, nothing more than that!”

 A group of executive officers have been very skillful in flattering a series of "Xiao Executive Secretary is wise".

Mo Hua was too lazy to pay attention to them.

He couldn't wait and took a look into the inner hall.

Looking at it, Mo Hua was a little stunned.

 In the inner hall, there are densely packed stone walls.

These stone walls are connected and arranged to form a...maze...

 Maze?

Mo Hua frowned. He let go of his consciousness and sensed carefully, and suddenly discovered that these mazes were actually a kind of formation medium. On top of the mazes, another formation was built.

 “This formation…”

Mo Hua feels...very strange, but also inexplicably familiar.

 He looked at it, his pupils slowly widening and his heart trembling.

 Isn't this just...

 The mysterious formation? !
