Chapter 722: Destroying 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 Mo Hua did not say the content of the reward.

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

"The reward this time is to assist 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 couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but they couldn't hide their excitement either.

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

He has a righteous mind and is naturally repelled by evil spirits and heretics.

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

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

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

"Are you done with eradicating evil?" Cheng Mo asked.

"No, it's to save my life!"

All the disciples were stunned.

"Don't look down on the demon cultivators!" Mo Hua looked solemn, "The 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 and shameless minds..."

"If you are careless in a fight with a demon cultivator, you will suffer big losses and may even endanger your life!"

"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."

The disciples all nodded, "Senior Brother, you are still thoughtful."

They felt warm in their hearts.

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

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

"Everyone is only responsible for providing support from the outside and picking up any fish that slip through the net."

"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 pursue weak ones."

"Everyone go safely and come back safely."

Mo Hua sighed again: "If you make any mistakes, the elders of the sect will definitely blame me. I won't be able to let you do whatever tasks Daotingsi has in the future..."

When the disciples heard this, they immediately raised their hands and pledged:

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

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 and life-saving elixirs..." and the like.

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

The ink painting waved at the mountain gate and watched everyone go away.

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

Taixu Mountain is hidden in the thick night.

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

Mo Hua sighed softly, feeling a little worried.

I don’t know if anything will happen if they go to Qingping City to surround and suppress those demonic cultivators who intend to destroy the family.

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

Moreover, ink painting has been done before.

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

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

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

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

And he had other things to do.

Master Gu took advantage of Mo Hua's break and sent him a pair of armor.

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

Mo Hua gave it a name:

The source of the five elements.

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

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 could only understand it based on his own formation and refer to Master Gu's advice on refining the weapon. He crossed the river by feeling the stones and tried refining step by step.

This set of source armor is only the first edition. It is not clear whether it can be used or not.

It may require constant experimentation and constant improvement.

This was within Mo Hua’s expectations.

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 source array inside the armor.

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

Taoist interior.

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

There was no way, the armor was made according to the size of an adult, so it would 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 magic puppet was burned by the fire spiritual power, leaving a black mark, and 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.

"No..."

The armor is useless.

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

The first-grade thirteen-pattern five-element fire source formation, Mo Hua was already familiar with it, and every stroke was accurate.

The formation was correct.

He compared the shape of the armor again.

Master Gu was a third-grade weapon refiner with rich experience and sophisticated skills. This set of external armor was also accurate.

There was no problem with the formation, and there was no problem with the armor.

But this set of five-element fire source armor did not work.

His spiritual power was not amplified, and the power of the fireball was not improved.

Mo Hua was confused.

What went wrong?

He memorized the entire armor spiritual weapon structure again, and then sorted out the path of spiritual power flow in the entire formation in his mind, and did not find any error.

Mo Hua thought hard, but nothing came to mind. He simply lay on the ground, crossed his legs, and pondered slowly.

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

But ordinary spiritual weapons correspond to ordinary formations.

Absolute formations must be different.

Or at least, the Five Elements Absolute Formation is different.

"How did I draw the Five Elements Source Formation before?"

"Why does it work on the ground, but not on armor?"

Mo Hua recalled a little bit about how he had drawn the ground to form a formation and created the Five Elements Source Formation.

After comparing the two, he had some guesses in his mind.

Drawing the ground to form a formation, and the Five Elements Source Armor, except for the "formation medium" as a carrier, the only difference is the flow of the power of the formation.

Drawing the ground to form a formation, the Five Elements Absolute Formation is driven by divine thoughts, and divine thoughts and spiritual power merge and flow.

In the Five Elements Source Armor, the Five Elements Absolute Formation is purely driven by spiritual power, and it is simply the flow of spiritual power, lacking divine thoughts fusion.

Mo Hua remembered.

The essence of the Five Elements Source Array is to achieve "divine thought transformation" through the array to amplify the five elements of spiritual power.

The amplified part of spiritual power is not generated out of thin air, but is transformed from "mind power".

When thinking of this, Mo Hua's heart suddenly trembled.

The power of divine thought is transformed to amplify spiritual power...

The logic of the Five Elements Source Array is somewhat similar to the Shinto array.

Both contain the law of "divine thought transformation", but the final purpose of the transformation is different.

The Five Elements Source Array transforms into amplified spiritual power.

And the Shinto array transforms into "amplified" divine thoughts.

Mo Hua's eyes were shocked, as if he had been enlightened, and he felt that he seemed to have discovered something very important.

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

Perhaps it was because his current cultivation was still low and his knowledge was not enough, so he only had a little inspiration, but did not have a deep understanding...

Mo Hua nodded slowly.

Since he couldn't figure it out for the time being, he didn't bother to think about it, so he still focused on the Five Elements Source Armor.

The principle was understood, but it was very troublesome to solve it in practice.

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

After the array is activated, it is controlled by the divine mind.

After the spiritual weapon is activated, it operates automatically.

Simple arrays, such as those that Mo Hua drew before, those earth and fire arrays that are less than nine patterns and not of grade, are very simple to start.

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

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

But this is an array with a small number of patterns and a simple structure.

The later the array is, the more array patterns there are, the more complex the structure is, and the more complete the function is.

For example, complex arrays, large arrays, or single arrays above the second grade.

These arrays will have array eyes embedded in advance, charged with spiritual stones, and supply spiritual power.

It also contains a complex array pivot structure, which can be opened and controlled by divine consciousness, and can control the opening and closing, smoothness, and suppression of spiritual power.

Using divine consciousness to control the array requires a certain array foundation and relatively abundant divine consciousness.

But spiritual tools are different.

Spiritual tools are suitable for all cultivators, so the threshold is not too high.

And it cannot be complicated to use.

Spiritual tools can be used as long as there is spiritual power.

The array in the spiritual tool will operate automatically after the spiritual power is supplied, and no additional divine consciousness is required.

But the problem is that the five elements source array requires "divine thought conversion".

Drawing the ground as an array is the logic of the array, which can be controlled by divine consciousness.

Divine consciousness control can inject divine consciousness to convert spiritual power.

And the five elements source armor is a spiritual tool.

The array in the spiritual tool cannot be controlled by divine consciousness, so naturally it cannot be injected with divine consciousness, cannot be "converted", cannot strengthen the five elements, and cannot increase spiritual power.

Mo Hua's head hurts a little.

Sure enough, it looks like a simple problem, but once it comes to practical application, there will be a lot of unexpected problems.

In this way, the Five Elements Source Armor cannot be made into an "inner-sealed formation" structure like ordinary spiritual tools.

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

Only when the divine consciousness can intervene, the divine thoughts can be transformed, and the spiritual power can be amplified.

But this certainly does not meet the specifications of ordinary spiritual tools, and is more like a special "formation tool" between "spiritual tools" and "formation media".

Things are getting complicated...

However, this difficulty is not even a setback.

Mo Hua was mentally prepared, so he naturally did not feel discouraged, but was full of ambition.

After all, once this kind of "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 the Five Elements Source Armor, even if the cultivation level is slightly inferior, with the right strategy, it is enough to fight across the ranks.

Mo Hua is full of expectations.

"Let's do it step by step..."

Mo Hua thought for a while, and could only go 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 he asked, he wouldn't be able to reply.

Anyway, we will know the result in two days.

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

Mo Hua counted the number of people and found that there were no more and no less, exactly 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 are all not serious."

"Take the elixir and recover for a while. 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 family 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 captured demon cultivators were also imprisoned in Daotingsi for strict interrogation."

"Gu Diansi looked 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, otherwise it may cause trouble."

Everyone nodded.

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

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

All the disciples smiled happily and cupped their hands one after another:

"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 reply.

Mo Hua was a little confused.

On the third day, Gu Changhuai replied: "The family has been wiped out."

Mo Hua was startled, "What?"

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

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 we ignored another place..."

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

Gu Changhuai said: "By the Yanshui River, Yujia Water Village."

"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 foreign demon cultivators 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 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 said: "Don't worry about these things, I will check them, and practice well."

After that, Gu Changhuai ignored Mo Hua.

Mo Hua's mood became more and more solemn.

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

But, what exactly is His plan?

resurrection?

How to resurrect?

Mo Hua frowned more and more.

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

What is the origin of these demonic cultivators who massacred Yujia Shuizhai?

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.

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

But as he continued to draw, Mo Hua suddenly felt frightened in his heart.

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

This jade slip is the list from Boss Jiang.

Now, most of the names of the sinners on the list have faded.

Even the name of Fire Buddha, which was burning with fire and carrying bloody consequences, has faded.

This list is no longer useful.

But Mo Hua always felt that there was still some cause and effect that had not been resolved.

And just now, it seemed that some cause and effect had changed...

What could it be?

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

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

His eyes suddenly became deep, with the three colors of Tianji pattern, Wei Dao pattern, and Shen Dao light gold blending together.

Looking at it this way, the jade slip has indeed changed.

The name of Fire Buddha was completely dim.

Then everything in front of him was blurred, and the cause and effect overlapped.

The sea of ​​fire receded, and the tide rose sharply.

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

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

In the jade slip, the three words "Fire Buddha" were erased, and gradually another evil name with blood and evil consequences appeared:

Water Yama.
