Chapter 645: Spirit Identification Drawing Array

The cliffs hang high above the sky, and the peaks are covered with clouds.

There is an invisible stone bridge across the sea of ​​clouds.

Four hidden monks, three big and one small, are walking on the bridge step by step, as if they are walking in the air, walking on the edge of the sky, and there is an endless ravine under their feet.

Several people are inevitably shocked.

Mo Hua is fine, it is not his first time walking.

Although the cliff is higher, the road is longer, and the other side is more dangerous, he is accompanied by three "bodyguards".

One of them is Uncle Gu in the Jindan realm.

In fact, it is still safe.

The stone bridge is empty, and there is no figure.

Several people walked forward step by step.

Mo Hua released his spiritual sense, observing and perceiving all the way, and occasionally reminded:

Where is the small Yuan magnetic array, where is the earth explosion array, where is the warning array, where is the wind array...

Zui Xiu did set up a lot of arrays on the stone bridge.

These arrays, whether warnings or traps, are set up very obscurely.

But naturally, they can't hide from Mo Hua's spiritual sense.

All the formations along the way were discovered by Mo Hua one by one.

Gu Changhuai looked at Mo Hua, who was calm and walked through thousands of "formations" without being touched, and felt lucky.

Fortunately, he brought this child with him...

Otherwise, they would be walking on thin ice on the stone bridge covered with formations, and they might not be able to reach the other side.

Mo Hua pointed the way, and Gu Changhuai and the other two followed Mo Hua obediently.

Halfway through the journey, the sky suddenly darkened on the stone bridge.

Mo Hua stopped on the stone bridge.

The road behind him was like in the clouds, with clear sky and bright sun.

The road ahead was full of evil spirits, and the lonely peak was like a ghost cave, gloomy and depressing.

The few people looked at each other with firm eyes and continued to move forward.

In the gloomy evil spirit, they didn't know how long they walked, and finally saw the cliff in front of them.

After walking for another cup of tea, the few people who were hiding their figures stepped onto the stone steps of the opposite cliff without anyone noticing and came to the other side.

In front of him was a solitary peak, empty and surrounded by dark clouds.

It was like an isolated island in the sea of ​​clouds, uninhabited.

In the middle of the solitary peak was a huge and narrow cave.

The cave was closed, like the closed eyes of an evil beast.

The rocks on both sides were hideous, and the protruding stones were embedded in each other, like the eyelashes of an evil beast, covering the bright red blood in the eyes.

Mo Hua's eyes condensed slightly, "Evil formation..."

The formation master under the Fire Buddha was a high-level evil formation master of the second grade...

Gu Changhuai looked indifferent, but Gu An and Gu Quan were a little nervous.

"Young Master, can this door be opened?"

It was not known whether it was Gu An or Gu Quan who asked.

Mo Hua thought about it and shook his head:

"This is an evil formation, and the formation is closed, and the formation pattern inside cannot be seen through. In addition, it is a high-level second-grade evil formation, so it cannot be solved..."

"At least I can't solve it for the time being..."

"If the formation cannot be solved, then we can only use brute force to break the formation by force..."

"But this will make a lot of noise and will definitely alarm Huo Buddha and others..."

...

Gu An and Gu Quan frowned.

Gu Changhuai looked at Mo Hua silently with his handsome eyes.

Mo Hua understood.

This is Uncle Gu asking himself what to do with these formations.

But he has always been a little arrogant, and he can't speak for a while, especially in front of Gu An and Gu Quan.

He is the director and the son of the Gu family, so he has to save face.

Mo Hua thought for a moment, and before Gu Changhuai could ask, he said:

"Although the Demon Cave sounds eerie and scary, it is, after all, a kind of building for cultivating Taoism, and architectural formations are required..."

"Then there must be various formations built inside this isolated peak."

"I will first look at the structure of the entire isolated peak from the outside, and then speculate on the formations inside, and then consider how to get in..."

"Okay." Gu Changhuai nodded.

So Mo Hua put his hands behind his back, raised his head, and walked around the isolated peak like an "inspection", while sensing the formations inside.

Gu Changhuai and the other two followed silently behind, looking alert and looking around, like three "followers".

After walking around, Mo Hua found a quiet place, used a stone as a table, spread out formation paper, and began to initially restore the formation structure of the outermost part of the Demon Cave.

While recalling the formation traces he had just sensed from the rocks, he drew a series of formation patterns on the paper.

Occasionally, he would raise his head to take in the entire lonely peak and correct the connection of the formation...

After a while, a formation outline composed of formation patterns, the outline of the formation outside the magic cave, gradually appeared on the paper...

Gu Changhuai's pupils shrank, looking at Mo Hua, muttering in a lost voice:

"Spirit-identifying painting formation..."

"Spirit-identifying painting formation?" Mo Hua was a little surprised and asked Gu Changhuai, "What is the spirit-identifying painting formation?"

Gu Changhuai was startled, "It's what you are doing..."

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, and then understood.

Identifying the spiritual power of the formation from the outside and restoring the internal formation structure is called "Spirit-identifying painting formation".

He had always thought that this was just a basic formation calculation, but he didn't expect there were so many fancy names...

Mo Hua exclaimed: "Uncle Gu, you know a lot..."

Gu Changhuai: "..."

If Mo Hua hadn't been serious and clear-eyed, he would have almost suspected that Mo Hua was "ridiculing" him...

It took more than half an hour for Mo Hua to restore the outer formation diagram of the "demon cave".

There was a demon cave on the paper.

But this "devil's cave" seemed to be "seen through" by the divine consciousness. It had no appearance of rocks and plants, but revealed the "skeleton" of various array patterns and array hubs.

Although it was only the structure of the array on the surface, Gu Changhuai was still extremely shocked.

He was a little dazed.

Is this really something that an array master in the early stage of foundation building can do?

This is completely different from all the array masters he has known before...

Gu An and Gu Quan on the other side also couldn't understand it, and at the same time they felt that Mo Hua people should not be judged by appearance.

This little array master is really extraordinary...

He is worthy of being a person who can bargain with the young master who always says what he means, and even make the always stubborn young master have to give in.

Mo Hua didn't know what they were thinking, but continued:

"The formation of the Demon Cave is very strict, but since it is a formation for cultivation, in order to save costs, we have to make some 'compromises'..."

"The main part uses a second-grade 19-pattern formation, but in some corners, the formation grade will be reduced and the number of formation patterns will also decrease..."

"Eighteen patterns, seventeen patterns, and even the sixteen patterns of the second-grade middle level will be used..."

"Even some parts will use first-grade formations to make up the number..."

"The weak points of these formations are flaws."

"The larger the scale of the formation of the cultivation building, the more magnificent it looks from the outside, but in the eyes of insiders, there are more flaws..."

In the eyes of insiders...

Gu Changhuai and the other two looked at Mo Hua and nodded in agreement.

Mo Hua read the "Demon Cave" formation map from beginning to end again, and then took the three people to a small hillside behind the lonely peak.

Under the hillside, there is a solid rock with jagged stones.

"The rocks here are solid, not easy to dig, nor to construct formations, so the formation master who constructed the magic cave was lazy and cut corners..."

Mo Hua released his spiritual sense again, his eyes deep, looked for a while, and pointed to an ordinary stone slope and said:

"The flaw here is the biggest."

Gu Changhuai stared at the stone slope, and couldn't judge why the flaw here was the biggest.

But once it involves formations, Mo Hua's words always make him feel unquestionable.

"Then we... dig through the rocks and sneak in?"

One of the two brothers of the Gu family suggested.

Mo Hua guessed that he should be "Gu An".

The two brothers look the same and have similar voices, but there is a difference in the flow of spiritual power, one is biased towards the left meridian, and the other is biased towards the right meridian.

Just like a left-handed person and a right-handed person.

The left-handed one is Gu An, and the right-handed one is Gu Quan.

Mo Hua shook his head, "It's still too noisy. For digging a pit, we can just use a formation..."

This is also what he just learned, a type of Bagua Gen formation, called Kaishan formation.

The second-grade 14-pattern Kaishan formation can turn rocks into powder. It is not very powerful and makes little noise. It is best used to dig such a hidden pit.

Mo Hua took out the brush and ink and began to draw the Kaishan formation on the stone.

He drew very quickly and finished a painting in a short time.

Then the gray light appeared on the formation, the formation pattern took effect, and the rocks dissolved and turned into fine powder, which was blown away by the wind.

Gu Changhuai watched from the side and always felt that something was wrong.

After watching for a while, he suddenly understood.

Too fast...

He had seen Mo Hua draw formations before, but he didn't pay much attention at that time.

Now under his eyes, Mo Hua's brush moved like a dragon and snake, and he drew the second-grade 14-pattern Kaishan formation completely.

Gu Changhuai was shocked to find that the strokes were too fast.

It was as if time was ‘fast forwarding’, and his little hand left a shadow.

This hand speed was several times faster than those array masters he had seen before.

Gu Changhuai frowned.

“How come Mo Hua is just like the ‘hexagonal’ array master, with no shortcomings…”

“Could he be possessed by some array ‘old monster’…”

…

During the time when he was puzzled, Mo Hua drew the mountain-opening array one after another, dissolving the rocks layer by layer.

Finally, the last bit of rock disappeared, and a dark cave appeared in front of him.

In the cave, there were gusts of cold wind, and a faint smell of rot came.

Mo Hua glanced at Gu Changhuai.

Gu Changhuai understood, nodded slightly, and went straight into the cave, followed by Gu An and Gu Quan.

After a few breaths, Gu Changhuai’s voice came from the cave.

"Come in..."

Mo Hua nodded and walked in.

The vision was dark for a while, and then slowly became bright. Mo Hua looked carefully and found that he was standing on a protruding stone pillar.

Mo Hua looked down and his pupils shrank suddenly.

This is a huge karst cave.

The stone pillars are jagged and evil.

The mountain peaks are hollowed out, and below is a huge and solemn demon palace.

The suspended corridors are intertwined, and there are white bone lamps in the corridors. The dark green light reflects the strange halls around.

In the middle of the hall is a huge stone skull.

The eyes of the skull are empty, burning with green fire.

The ferocious fangs protrude outward, and the huge mouth is open, as if choosing a person to devour.

But this skull is half broken, and it seems that it has not been built yet. It is impossible to tell whether it is a human or an animal bone.

And above the skull, there is a gloomy demonic aura.

Gu Changhuai looked grim and said in disbelief:

"The Demon Cult's stronghold..."

"How brave!"

Mo Hua was startled, "The Demon Cult's stronghold..."

He looked at Gu Changhuai and asked in a low voice: "Is the demon sect's stronghold any different from the general evil cultivator's stronghold?"

Gu Changhuai looked solemn and said slowly:

"The strongholds of evil cultivators are only used for temporary hiding, while the strongholds of evil cultivators are used for long-term 'dwelling'..."

"Evil cultivators are just poisonous fruits, and the poison only kills one or two people, but the devil's cult is the 'root' that spreads the poison..."

"The presence of a demon sect stronghold means that the demon sect has 'taken root' here, or is preparing to take root..."

"Once the demon sect's stronghold is built and takes root, it will become a cancer of the demonic path and spread the demonic arts, causing endless harm."

"And it is extremely difficult to remove it, and the price paid is also very high..."

Gu Changhuai's eyes were serious.

He had previously thought that Fire Buddha's 'Devil's Cave' was just an exaggeration.

But now it seems that this devil's cave is really a large-scale devil's den.

Mo Hua said: "Then it seems that the Fire Buddha is not only a sinful cultivator, but also an evil cultivator. He is also a demonic cultivator with an 'inheritance'?"

Gu Changhuai's eyes were cold, he nodded slightly and said:

"should be……"

Mo Hua frowned, "I didn't even notice..."

Gu Changhuai's eyes were somewhat meaningful and he said:

"What you can't see is the real demon sect."

"Those evil cultivators, who are arrogant and domineering, have long been slaughtered by the Taoist court..."

"The remaining demonic cultivators are sometimes more sanctimonious than the decent cultivators..."

Mo Hua was startled and thought of Lu Chengyun inexplicably.

Kill people and refine corpses, use zombies to mine, and earn spiritual stones day and night.

Then use the spirit stones to bribe Daotingsi, buy off local forces, further squeeze the ore cultivators, refine zombies, and develop and strengthen their own power.

On the surface, he is the gentle and gentle head of the Lu family.

But behind the scenes, he is a true demonic great corpse cultivator.

Once he is allowed to become the Corpse King, all the monks in Nanyue City, whether living or dead, will probably become his "zombies".

And the same may be true in front of you.

Fire Buddha and the others are probably just a "pretense".

I don’t know what is hidden behind this “Bishan Demon Cave”, and I don’t know who created it...

"Uncle Gu, what should we do now? Do we want to go back and call someone?"

Mo Hua asked in a low voice.

Now that the demon sect's stronghold has been discovered, logically speaking, the best way is to go back and "shake people" and call more Daotingsi chief executives to "destroy" this stronghold.

Gu Changhuai frowned in thought and slowly shook his head.

"Let's do some research first. If we can find the Fire Buddha, it would be best to kill him directly..."

"Go back and call for people to surround the devil's cave. There are too many variables in the melee. If the Fire Buddha escapes, the result will be in vain..."

"and……"

Gu Changhuai's eyes darkened and he didn't say much.

But he knew in his heart that Bishan City could build a devil's cave, which meant that Daotingsi must not be clean either...

If he goes back to transfer people, I'm afraid some people will take advantage of it...

If the killing knife is rusty, you may be the one who dies in the battle of life and death.

This is exactly what Mo Hua meant.

It’s easier to get things done when there are fewer people.

If there are too many people, the ears and eyes will be mixed up, and it will be difficult for you to make small moves.

Mo Hua raised his head and glanced at the dense devil's cave again.

No matter who created this devil's cave, the Fire Buddha must die first.

He also needs to get hold of his Fire Meteor Technique.

"Let's go..." Gu Changhuai said.

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded.

So a group of four people, hiding their figures, quietly descended along the surrounding stone walls and entered the Demon Palace.

Once inside the Demon Palace, the terrain becomes complicated again, and the structure is very different from the structure seen from the outside.

Many buildings are closed inside and cannot be walked around at all.

There are dense formations all around, and there are even more restrictions on movement.

There were also demon cultivators in weird clothes patrolling with several demon dogs.

If he is discovered by the patrolling demonic cultivator demonic dog, he may be alerted and attract more demonic cultivators.

Being surrounded and killed in the Demon Cave, Gu Changhuai, who is in the Golden Core Realm, may be able to escape, but Gu An and Gu Quan are probably in danger.

Mo Hua might be able to escape, but don't think about assassinating Fire Buddha anymore.

Therefore, the four of them walked carefully.

In order not to be discovered, he did not even dare to kill a dog.

After walking around in the Demon Palace for most of the day, I didn't even find the shadow of the Fire Buddha.

And these demonic cultivators also have a very strict tone of voice. They lead dogs like puppets of the "walking dead" and investigate everywhere, but rarely speak.

Mo Hua couldn't even try to eavesdrop on some clues from them.

If you continue to investigate like this, you will be like a headless fly.

Not to mention seven days, even seventeen days, it is estimated that the Fire Buddha will not be caught.

"what to do……"

Mo Hua frowned.

Gu Changhuai also felt that this was not the solution, so he whispered: "Let's go to the inner hall and take a look..."

The place where Mo Hua and the others are now is the outer hall of the Demon Palace.

If the Fire Buddha is not in the outer hall, he will most likely be in the inner hall.

But the further you go into the inner hall, the defense will definitely be tighter, there will be more people and dogs patrolling, and the risk will be greater.

Once discovered, the probability of escape is also lower.

Gu An and Gu Quan looked as if they were ready to die.

Mo Hua also nodded.

A few people tried to walk into the inner hall, but after taking a few steps, three people walked towards them. The first one was leading a demon dog with green eyes and black hair and a foul-smelling saliva.

The four of them quickly hid aside, holding onto the stone wall with their backhands, and hung on the suspended corridor.

The demon dog walked nearby, suddenly bared its teeth, barked viciously, and lowered its head to sniff the smell nearby.

Mo Hua sprinkled odorless powder on everyone.

This powder is a common medicine powder for demon hunters. When hunting demons in the Great Black Mountain, they sprinkle some on their bodies when they encounter danger to avoid being smelled by demon beasts.

This medicine powder is not used often, but Mo Hua still carries some with him to be prepared.

The demon dog could not smell the smell and barked a few times on the spot.

A demon cultivator said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

"What did the demon dog find?"

A cold divine sense spread out in all directions, swept over Mo Hua and the others, and then retracted.

"No..."

"Is this dog in heat? Why is it still barking?"

"Who fed it the pills that it shouldn't have been fed?"

Then there was a howl of the demon dog, as if someone had kicked it.

"Damn beast, stop barking..."

"Waste my time..."

A hoarse voice said: "Okay, continue patrolling..."

"How could anyone get in here..."

"Fuck..."

Then the three demon cultivators led the dog away.

After confirming that they had left, Gu Changhuai frowned: "It's not easy to go in..."

The patrols in the Demon Palace were too tight.

And this damn dog is more vigilant than people.

There's a sentry every few steps, so it's impossible to get in.

Gu Quan - Mo Hua guessed that he was Gu An, whispered: "Then let's kill these patrols?"

Gu Changhuai's eyes condensed slightly, but he still shook his head.

"Can't kill..."

"Can't kill people, even that dog can't be killed..."

When taking action, if there is a fluctuation of spiritual power, it will be noticed by the demon cultivators;

Or when killing people, the hands and feet are not smooth enough, so they shout and alarm other demon cultivators;

Or after taking action, the body is not hidden well, leaving clues, and being discovered by other demon cultivators.

The whereabouts of the few of them were exposed...

The four of them frowned.

Gu Changhuai sighed silently, "Let's search the outer hall again and try our luck to see if we can find any clues or secret passages leading to the inner hall..."

"Yes." Mo Hua and the others nodded slightly.

Then the four of them climbed up from under the corridor.

But before they took a few steps forward, Mo Hua's expression changed, "Someone is coming..."

Gu Changhuai also noticed it, and his face also sank.

The few of them had no choice but to return to their original positions and hide under the corridor.

The three demon cultivators and a demon dog went back.

"There is movement here..."

"Quick, search it once..."

They searched more closely this time.

Several divine senses kept scanning back and forth.

The dog's nose sniffed desperately, wishing to wipe the ground.

Mo Hua was a little nervous.

After an unknown amount of time, the three demon cultivators stopped.

"Still nothing..."

"Did he see it wrong?"

"Is he playing tricks on us? He treats us like dogs and drives us around for fun?"

"Fuck him..."

"If it weren't for seeing him... I would..."

"Shut up!"

A hoarse voice said sternly, "Are you tired of living?"

The other two were hesitant and didn't dare to speak.

"Do your job well!"

The demon cultivator warned sternly, and then his tone softened a little, "This hall is closed, damp and gloomy. You are cultivating demonic skills, and your mentality is easily unstable..."

"It will be fine after a while."

"You can go out and vent..."

A gloomy laugh sounded.

Then the three of them led the dog and slowly left.

Gu Changhuai and the others did not come out rashly, but stayed where they were.

The surroundings were silent. Gu An could not help but whispered: "The evil beasts of the demon sect, if it is not for fear of alerting the enemy, they should really be killed..."

Gu Changhuai said calmly: "Business is more important."

"Yes, sir."

After confirming that the three people and the dog had gone far away, the four of them came out and were about to find a place to continue searching, but Mo Hua suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Gu Changhuai asked.

Mo Hua frowned, "Something is wrong..."

Gu Changhuai was slightly stunned and thought about something.

Mo Hua looked back, "Something is wrong with this place..."

"Obviously, the three people and the dog have gone far away, why did they suddenly come back?"

"And from what they said, it seems that there is a 'person' who told them that there is movement here, so they turned back again..."

"How did this 'person' know that there is movement here?"

"How did he detect the movement?"

Mo Hua said while thinking, at the same time releasing his spiritual sense and carefully searching around, suddenly his eyes lit up and ran to a corner of the corridor.

There is a very hidden formation in the corner.

Mo Hua didn't know what formation it was, but he could tell from his perception that it was a magnetic formation that he had never seen before...

"Magnetic formation..."

Mo Hua muttered.

Suddenly he was startled again, closed his eyes and sensed, and he seemed to sense a "magnetic flow" in the dark.

This magnetic flow was extremely weak.

If it weren't for his sharp consciousness and dealing with the secondary thunder patterns derived from the "magnetic flow" every day, he wouldn't be able to sense it at all.

"Magnetic induction..."

Mo Hua suddenly realized, he raised his head again, took in the entire Demon Palace, and gradually had a guess in his mind:

"This solemn demon palace seems to be closely 'monitored' by a set of magnetic arrays..."
