Asking About Longevity Chapter 722

Chapter 722: Extermination of the Family

Mo Hua accepted the reward, but he could not leave the Qianxue state boundary, so he handed the reward to Cheng Mo and asked Cheng Mo to lead the team.

 But the content of the reward was not mentioned in Mo Hua.

It was not until the night before departure that Mo Hua gathered everyone together and told them some precautions about the reward.

“This reward is for assisting Daotingsi in encircling and suppressing the large number of demon cultivators in Qingping City!”

 A large number of demon cultivators!

When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled.

 It is indeed a big job, no wonder it has such high merit.

 All the disciples could not help but feel a little nervous, but they could not hide their excitement either.

Although they come from aristocratic families, they are not very old and have not been deeply involved in the world. They have been concentrating on spiritual practice and have not been entangled by the interests of the aristocratic family. They still have the vision of "wielding swords in the world to eliminate demons and slay evil spirits" in their hearts.

 Have a righteous mind and are naturally repulsive to evil spirits and heretics.

 Hand ink painting has also been done before.

 They felt warm in their hearts.

　　Although his calculation method is still relatively immature and he cannot calculate the cause and effect very clearly, at least he has not sensed the "frightening" sign.

This is the armor specially customized according to the requirements of the ink painting to match the Five Elements Source Array.

“We must be careful, please rest assured, little senior brother!”

It's not like today, where you have to compete with "a large number of demon cultivators".

 They had come into contact with some evil cultivators before offering bounties, but many of those evil cultivators had low inheritances, and although their methods were vicious, they were only small-scale troubles.

“When fighting against demonic cultivators, if you are careless, you will suffer big losses and may even endanger your life!”

Since he couldn't leave the state border, he could only wait for news from Cheng Mo and the others, and he couldn't be in a hurry.

 The Five Elements Strengthening Formation is a unique formation, which is extremely rare.

“Everyone is only responsible for providing support on the periphery and picking up any fish that slip through the net.”

"Don't look down on demon cultivators!" Mo Hua said with a solemn expression, "Demon cultivators are bad, but they are not stupid. Even if they are not as smart as you and not as talented as you, they have rich experience in cultivating Taoism, are unscrupulous in doing things, and have despicable minds..."

 This set of Yuanjia is only the first edition. It is not clear whether it can be used for ink painting.

Mo Hua continued: "In this encirclement and suppression, you just need to remember one thing..."

Mo Hua sighed again: "If you make any mistakes, the elders of the sect will definitely blame me. I will not be able to let you do any tasks that Daotingsi will have in the future..."

The moon is bright, the stars are sparse, and the mountains are dark.

“Everyone, go in peace and come back in peace.”

 And the spiritual weapons that can be adapted to it are extremely rare, and there is a lack of shapes that can be used for reference.

Mo Hua sighed softly, feeling a little worried.

Master Gu took advantage of his ink painting break and sent him a pair of armor.

Mo Hua nodded, and then gave some more trivial instructions, such as "bring the protective spiritual weapon with you, put on the armor and Taoist robes, and bring more healing elixirs to protect your life..." and the like.

 Mo Hua can only understand it based on his own formation, and refer to Master Gu's advice on refining the weapon. He can cross the river by feeling the stones and try to refine it step by step.

A group of Taixu disciples walked along the mountain road, left Taixu Gate, and embarked on the journey of encircling and suppressing demon cultivators on a large scale for the first time in their lives.

“Leave it to Daotingsi to deal with the demonic cultivators head-on.”

 “No, it's to save my life!”

 “Have you finished the task of eradicating evil?” Cheng Mo asked.

 The disciples all nodded, "Senior Brother, you are very considerate."

"Although it is a good thing to eliminate evil, we must judge the situation and act within our capabilities." Mo Hua sighed: "I want you to earn merit, not to lose your life."

Hearing this, the disciples immediately raised their hands and pledged:

“So,” Mo Hua concluded, “we will act later, in groups of five, to watch and help each other, mainly to save lives.”

 After saying that, taking advantage of the cover of night, Cheng Mo led a group of fifty people and set off.

From this point of view, this encirclement and suppression should not be too dangerous.

Ink paintings are waving at the mountain gate, watching everyone go on a long journey.

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

 And he also had other things to do.

“Remember, don't be greedy for success, don't make rash advances, don't be fond of fighting, don't fight against strong enemies, and don't chase after poor enemies.”

 All the disciples were stunned.

 Ink painting gave it a name:

 The source of the five elements.

I don't know if anything will happen if they go to Qingping City to encircle and suppress the demonic cultivators who want to destroy the family.

Taixu Mountain is hidden in the thick night.

But with Uncle Gu in charge, it shouldn't be a big problem.

  May require constant experimentation and continuous improvement.

 This is also within the expectations of ink painting.

During the ten-day break, Mo Hua happened to have some free time, so he took some time and began to test the functions of this set of Five Elements Source Armor.

 He first drew a five-element fire array inside the armor.

 Later, I rented a Taoist magic room to test the power of spells.

 In the Dao Dharma room.

Mo Hua was wearing an armor that was obviously one size larger. Although his expression was serious, he looked somewhat funny.

There is no way, the armor is made according to the body shape of an adult, so it will definitely look too big for him.

However, the Taoist chamber is closed and no one will see it.

Mo Hua wore armor and began to cast fireballs on the magic puppets in the distance.

On the armor, a red light flashed and enveloped the ink painting.

Mo Hua clicked his finger, and a fireball roared out, creating a piercing streak of fire and hitting the magic puppet in the distance.

 There was an explosion and fire raged.

The spell puppet was burned by the fire spiritual power, leaving a black mark. Then, under the effect of the formation, it gradually returned to its original state.

 The power of fireball is not weak.

Mo Hua gradually frowned.

 “That's not right…”

 The armor is useless.

 He took off his armor again, disassembled it again, and carefully checked the formation.

 The Five Elements Fire Formation with thirteen lines on the first rank is already well-acquainted with ink painting, and every stroke is perfect.

 The formation is correct.

 He compared the shape of the armor again.

Master Gu is a third-grade weapon refining master. He has rich experience in refining weapons and is very experienced in his techniques. This external armor is also flawless.

 The formation is no problem, and the armor is no problem either.

But this five-element fire source armor did not take effect.

 His spiritual power has not been increased, and the power of the fireball spell has not been improved.

Mo Hua was confused.

 What went wrong?

He memorized the entire structure of the armor and spiritual weapon again, and then sorted out the path of spiritual power flow within the entire formation in his mind, and found no mistakes.

Mo Hua was thinking hard, but he didn't think of anything. He simply lay on the ground, crossed his legs, and thought slowly.

 This pair of Five Elements Source Armor is made according to the structure of an ordinary spiritual weapon.

 But ordinary spiritual weapons correspond to ordinary formations.

Jueji is definitely different.

 Or at least, the Five Elements Jue Zhen is different.

“How did I draw the Five Elements Formation before?”

"Why can it be painted on the ground but not on armor?"

Mo Hua recalled for a moment how he had previously drawn an array on the ground to create the Five Elements Source Array.

 After comparing the two, I have some guesses in my mind.

 The painting of the ground to form an array is different from the Five Elements Source A, except for the "array medium" as the carrier. The only difference is the flow of the power of the array.

 The ground is painted into a formation, and the Five Elements Formation is driven by spiritual thoughts, and spiritual thoughts and spiritual power are integrated and circulated.

In the Five Elements Source Armor, the Five Elements Absolute Formation is driven purely by spiritual power. It is simply the flow of spiritual power and lacks the integration of spiritual thoughts.

 Ink Hua memorized it.

The Five Elements Source Formation essentially achieves "transformation of spiritual thoughts" through the formation method, thereby increasing the spiritual power of the Five Elements.

 The increased spiritual power is not generated out of thin air, but is transformed from "thought power".

 When he thought of this, Mo Hua suddenly felt a tremor in his heart.

 Transformation of the power of spiritual thoughts, amplification of spiritual power...

 The logic of this formation of the Five Elements Source Formation is somewhat similar to that of the Shinto Formation.

 Both of them include the law of "transformation of spiritual thoughts", but the purpose of the final transformation is different.

 What is transformed from the Five Elements Source Array is the amplified spiritual power.

 What is transformed from the Shinto formation is the "amplified" divine thought.

Mo Hua's eyes were shocked, as if he was enlightened, and he vaguely felt that he had discovered something important.

But when he thought about it carefully, he suddenly couldn't tell what he understood.

Perhaps it's me, my current level of cultivation is still low and my knowledge is not enough, so I only have a little inspiration, but I don't have a deep understanding...

Mo Hua nodded slowly.

Since he couldn't figure it out for the time being, he didn't hesitate, so he focused on the source of the five elements.

 The principle is understood, but it is very troublesome to actually solve it.

 This involves the fundamental rules of power flow in the spiritual weapon formation and the medium formation.

 After the formation is activated, it is controlled by divine thoughts.

 After the spiritual weapon is activated, it operates on its own.

 Simple formations, such as those drawn by Mo Hua before, those earth-fire formations with less than nine lines and no good quality, are very simple to activate.

 Generally speaking, it is good to activate it with spiritual power.

Crush the spiritual stone and let the spiritual power flow into the formation, and the formation will flow naturally.

  But this is a formation with a small number of lines and a simple structure. The further to the back of the formation, the more formations there are, the more complex the structure, and the more complete the functions.

 For example, a complex formation, a large formation, or a single formation of level 2 or above.

These formations will have formation eyes embedded in advance, which will be charged with spiritual stones to provide spiritual power.

 It also contains a complex array hub structure, which is opened and controlled by spiritual consciousness, and can control the opening and closing, forward and reverse, strong suppression, etc. of spiritual power.

 Using spiritual thoughts to control formations requires a certain foundation in formations and relatively abundant spiritual consciousness.

 And the spiritual weapons are different.

 Spiritual weapons are suitable for all monks, so the threshold must not be too high.

  And it cannot be complicated to use.

 Spiritual weapons can be used if they have spiritual power.

 The formations in the spiritual weapons will operate on their own after being supplied with spiritual power, and do not require additional control by divine thoughts.

 But the problem is that the Five Elements Source Formation requires "spiritual transformation".

  Drawing the ground to form a formation is the logic of the formation and can be controlled through spiritual consciousness.

 With the control of spiritual consciousness, spiritual thoughts can be injected into the body to transform spiritual power.

 The Five Elements Source Armor is a spiritual weapon.

 The formation within the spiritual weapon cannot be controlled by spiritual consciousness, so naturally it cannot be infused with spiritual thoughts, cannot be "transformed", cannot strengthen the five elements, and cannot increase spiritual power.

Mo Hua's head hurts a little.

Sure enough, looking at simple problems, once it comes to practical applications, there will be a bunch of unexpected problems.

 In this way, the Five Elements Source Armor cannot have the structure of "inner sealing formation" like ordinary spiritual weapons.

 The formation of the Five Elements Source Armor must be "sourced".

 Only when spiritual consciousness can intervene, spiritual thoughts can be transformed, and spiritual power can be increased.

 But this definitely does not meet the specifications of a general spiritual weapon. It is more like a special "array weapon" between a "spiritual weapon" and an "array medium".

Things are getting into trouble...

But this difficulty is not even a setback.

 Mo Hua has already been mentally prepared, so naturally he will not feel discouraged, but instead feel high-spirited.

  After all, once this "Five Elements Source Armor" is developed, it can greatly increase the power of Taoism without being restricted by the location and formation description.

 With the increase of Five Elements Source Armor, even if the cultivation level is slightly inferior, with the right strategy, it is enough to fight across ranks.

 Ink painting is full of expectations.

 “Let's do it step by step…”

Mo Hua thought for a while and could only turn back and start from the weapon refining map of the Five Elements Source Armor, trying to "open source" the formation inside the spiritual weapon and redesign the formation structure.

 At the same time, he was also thinking about what happened in Qingping City.

 He wanted to send a letter to Uncle Gu and ask how the situation was.

But he knew that encircling and suppressing demon cultivators was of great importance, and Uncle Gu's order must be "sealed".

Even if I asked him, he wouldn't be able to reply.

  Anyway, we'll know the result in two days.

Mo Hua calmed down and continued to study the Five Elements Source A. Within two days, Cheng Mo and the others came back.

Mo Hua counted the number of people and found that they were no more or less than fifty, and he was completely relieved.

Cheng Mo and the others were somewhat injured, but their expressions were indescribably excited.

“Eleven people were slightly injured, two others had broken arms, and one person was stabbed, but they were all not serious.”

 “Take the elixir and recover for a while, and you'll be almost fine in a few days.”

 Cheng Mo reported to Mohuahui.

Mo Hua nodded with satisfaction, and then asked:

 “Where are those demon cultivators?”

Cheng Mo said: "Those demon cultivators were killed and captured, but there were quite a few of them, and some of them escaped even though they were fighting for their lives."

“Do you know which house they want to destroy?”

Cheng Mo shook his head, "I don't know. As soon as they showed up, Gu Diansi let them take action. The demon cultivator they caught was also imprisoned in Daotingsi for strict interrogation."

“Gu Diansi's face was serious, and I didn't dare to ask any more questions…”

Mo Hua nodded and said, "Okay."

He looked at everyone again and warned: "Don't spread this matter to anyone else, otherwise I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

Everyone nodded.

Cheng Mo also said: "Gu Diansi gave the same order."

Mo Hua then asked everyone to rest, "After Daotingsi has finished counting, the merits should be paid."

 All the disciples were beaming with joy, and they held their hands in front of each other and said:

 “Thank you, little senior brother!”

Mo Hua returned to his disciple's residence and sent another message to Gu Changhuai:

“Uncle Gu, do you know which family the demon cultivators are going to destroy?”

 After waiting for a long time, Gu Changhuai didn't reply.

It seems that Uncle Gu is quite busy...

Mo Hua said silently in his heart.

 The next day, Gu Changhuai still didn't come back.

 Ink painting is a bit confusing.

On the third day, Gu Changhuai replied: "The whole family has been destroyed."

Mo Hua was startled, "What?"

Gu Changhuai let out a long sigh, "Someone... was wiped out."

Mo Hua's pupils shrank, "Isn't Qingping City defended? Isn't it Qingping City?"

Gu Changhuai said: "Yes..."

He was silent for a moment and slowly said to Mo Hua: "This group of demon cultivators... They are actually divided into two groups and they attack at the same time. Qingping City is just one of them."

“We found Qingping City, mobilized manpower, and destroyed their plan, but ignored another place..."

Mo Hua looked solemnly, "Where is the other place?"

Gu Changhuai said: "On the banks of the Yanshui River, in the water village of Yujia."

 “Yujia Water Village?” Mo Hua was a little confused.

Gu Changhuai nodded and said: "This is a remote water village near the Yanshui River. It is located on an isolated island and surrounded by water. The people living in the water village are also fishing cultivators, but they are relatively isolated and rarely interact with outsiders. contacts."

“The night before yesterday, the entire water village was massacred by demon cultivators…”

"But at the first time, no one knew about it. The next day, a fisherman rowed a boat and passed by nearby. He smelled the fishy smell and the strong smell of blood. He took a closer look, and then he saw that the river outside the water village was covered with water. The blood was dyed bright red, and all the fishing cultivators in the water village were killed, leaving no one alive..."

Gu Changhuai sighed.

Mo Hua felt cold in his heart and asked, "Do you know who did it?"

 Even if they are outside demon cultivators, they should always have an identity.

Gu Changhuai said: "We are still investigating. There should be news in the next few days, but there are no witnesses. I'm afraid it will be difficult to trace it."

“Where are those demon cultivators captured in Qingping City?” Mo Hua asked.

“Although there are many demon cultivators, most of them are just minions. They were tortured and interrogated, but no useful clues were found.”

Mo Hua frowned.

 Gu Changhuai looked ugly, but after thinking about it he still said: "Don't worry about these things, I will check them, and practice well."

After that, Gu Changhuai ignored the ink painting.

The mood of the ink painting is getting more and more solemn.

He had a strong premonition that the footsteps of the Great Desolate Evil God seemed to be getting closer and closer, and the secret plot was also accelerating...

 But, what exactly is His plan?

 Resurrection?

How to resurrect?

Mo Hua's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

Furthermore, the Yujia Water Village was wiped out. Does this mean that another altar was built in a secret and unknown place by the Yanshui River?

What is the origin of these demonic cultivators who were massacred in Jia Shui Village?

 Who is taking the lead?

Mo Hua let out a long sigh.

It's a pity that he can't go out at all, and he can't find it even if he wants to.

 Ink Hua suppressed the complicated thoughts in his heart and wanted to draw a few formations to calm his mood.

As he continued to draw, Mo Hua suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart.

Then he took out a jade slip from the storage bag under strange circumstances.

 This jade slip is Boss Jiang's list.

Nowadays, most of the criminal cultivators on the list have died, escaped, or been caught. Most of their names have faded away.

Even the Fire Buddha, a name that burns with fire and carries **** consequences, has faded.

 This list is no longer useful.

But Mo Hua always feels that there is still some unsolved cause and effect in the dark.

 And just now, something seems to have changed...

What will it be?

Mo Hua stared at the list for a long time, but he still couldn't find any clues.

Just when Mo Hua wanted to throw the list aside, he was suddenly startled, and then his expression became slightly condensed.

His eyes were suddenly deep, with the texture of heaven, the texture of deceit, and the light gold of Shinto blending together.

Looking at it this way, there has indeed been a change on the jade slip.

 The name of Fire Buddha is completely dim.

 Then the vision became blurry and cause and effect changed.

 The sea of ​​fire recedes and the tide rises.

 The tide was blue at first, and then it was like watering with blood. It was dyed half blue and half red, like a sea of ​​blood.

 The sea of ​​blood annihilates the sea of ​​fire.

 In the jade slip, the three characters "Fire Buddha" were erased, and another one gradually appeared, with a sinister name entangled with blood and evil consequences:

 Shuiyanluo.
