Chapter 737 Sword Formation
An hour later, Mo Hua looked at the broken, charred Broken Gold Sword in front of him and fell into deep thought.
This precious, top-grade Broken Gold Sword was completely destroyed in less than an hour in his hands.
Mo Hua was sure of one thing:
The sword array inside the spirit sword would indeed self-destruct.
At least the spirit sword in front of him self-destructed.
Although he had been careful again and again and used all the refining knowledge he could, it was still useless.
The Broken Gold Sword would rather die than surrender, and was completely destroyed.
The sword array inside also burned itself.
Mo Hua didn't even have time to take a look, and he didn't even know what array system this sword array used, and how many array patterns there were...
Mo Hua sighed deeply, heartbroken.
Such a good spirit sword, just gone like this.
What a waste of natural resources...
Mo Hua mourned for this top-grade spiritual sword for a moment, and then thought about when to give this "broken sword" to Master Gu to see if it could be melted in the furnace and recycled.
However, for now, we still have to consider the "sword formation" first.
"The sword formation will self-destruct. Even if you steal the spiritual sword, you can't get the sword formation by dismantling the spiritual sword."
"Then where should I start if I want to get the sword formation?"
Mo Hua was a little confused.
He began to think about how to solve the problem.
Catch the disciples of Duanjinmen and torture them severely?
Since he couldn't go out to arrest criminals, the formation torture board he improved has not been used for a long time. It's just right to let the disciples of Duanjinmen kneel down?
Mo Hua pondered for a moment and shook his head again.
No...
It's too cruel.
This iron plate is used to deal with criminals, evil cultivators and demons.
Although ordinary disciples of Duanjinmen have some conflicts with Taixumen and behave in a lowly way, they are not guilty of such crimes.
There should be a sense of propriety between good and evil.
The means of punishment should also be appropriate, otherwise he will sooner or later become violent and become a bloodthirsty demon.
This goes against the teachings of my parents, master, Mr. Xun, and the elders of Taixumen.
Moreover, even if they are tortured, it is probably useless.
Such secrets are not known by ordinary disciples.
Moreover, this sword formation can amplify sword energy. Such secrets, even if they are not as good as the Five Elements Source Formation, are by no means trivial.
The difficulty must be extremely high.
It seems that there are not many clever disciples of Duanjinmen, and few of them have strong spiritual awareness. It is unlikely that they can learn such a complicated sword formation.
Since they don’t know it in the first place, torture is useless.
Then...
Find out where the Duanjinmen sword forging equipment refinery is, sneak in secretly, and steal the secrets of the sword formation?
Or, try to get a sect token of Duanjinmen and see if you can do something about it?
Mo Hua thought about it and rejected all of them.
The sword-making shop of Duanjinmen must be extremely heavily guarded. How could a young cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building sneak in...
At least it is absolutely impossible at present.
It is useless to get the sect token of Duanjinmen.
He still knows nothing about the advanced Yuanci formation and has no idea how to do anything about it.
These two methods are useless now.
"Neither of them works..."
Mo Hua lay on the bed, thinking hard, thinking about the means he could use over and over again, and suddenly a light flashed, and he thought of a way:
"Calculation!"
The spiritual consciousness calculation can reversely deduce the formation pattern of the formation through the spiritual traces of the formation.
If the sword cultivator uses the sword formation in the spiritual sword to stimulate the sword energy.
Does that mean...
He can reversely deduce the top-secret sword formation sealed inside the sword through the traces of the sword energy?
Mo Hua took a breath of cold air.
Then wouldn't he be... going against the will of heaven?
From now on, whoever shows off his sword skills in front of him, he will also expose his sword inheritance!
Mo Hua himself was a little bit unbelievable.
But whether it will work or not, he still needs to try a way...
The next day, Mo Hua found Situ Jian again.
"Situ, I need your help with something."
Situ Jian was a little confused, and then said: "Is it about the Broken Gold Sword?"
"No," Mo Hua said, "The sword is broken."
Situ Jian was stunned, and then he was completely dumbfounded.
"Broken?!"
"It's only been one night, and a top-grade spiritual sword has been broken like this?" Situ Jian was shocked.
Mo Hua said silently in his heart:
To be precise, it was broken in an hour...
"These are all trivial matters, don't worry about it."
Situ Jian felt a little distressed.
How could this be a trivial matter, a top-grade spiritual sword...
He suddenly felt a little sympathy for the pretty boy of the Broken Gold Gate.
A fine Broken Gold Sword must have been worn by him and carefully nurtured for a long time, but it was broken by the junior brother in one night.
Situ Jian subconsciously held his Lihuo Sword tighter.
Broken Gold Sword, it's broken.
His Lihuo Sword, no matter what, can't fall into the hands of the junior brother again!
Just when he was hesitating whether to be more low-key in the future, not to show off his identity as a sword cultivator, and hide the Lihuo Sword safely in the storage bag, Mo Hua continued:
"Your Lihuo Sword, lend it to me."
Situ Jian shuddered all over.
Mo Hua immediately said gently: "Don't be nervous, I won't dismantle your Lihuo Sword, you just need to use the Lihuo Sword to stimulate the sword energy and show it to me."
Situ Jian breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't help but confirm, "Really?"
"Yeah!" Mo Hua said firmly.
Situ Jian was relieved.
After class, Mo Hua took Situ Jian and went to the Taoist room.
There are many disciples in Taixu Mountain, so it is not convenient to practice swordsmanship.
Only the Taoist room is closed and quiet, no one disturbs it.
"Just keep activating the Lihuo Sword Qi and chop that Taoist puppet." Mo Hua said to Situ Jian.
"So simple?" Situ Jian said.
"Well," Mo Hua nodded, "It's that simple."
Situ Jian didn't ask what Mo Hua was going to do, because past facts proved that the younger senior brother usually had deep meaning in his actions.
If it's a matter of formation, even if the younger senior brother talks about it, he may not understand it.
"Okay!" Situ Jian said simply.
Then, in front of Mo Hua, he sacrificed the Lihuo Sword, activated the Lihuo Sword Qi, and struck the Taoist puppet with one sword after another.
Mo Hua meditated on the side, his eyes were dark, and the lines of heavenly secrets appeared. He used the secret calculations to increase the calculations, and began to deduce Situ Jian's Lihuo sword energy.
Lihuo sword energy is a fire-based sword energy, wrapped in flames and red.
When we first saw it, there was only the shape of burning sword energy.
The ink painting stimulates the consciousness, and double images appear in the eyes, constantly trying to use heavenly calculations to deduce the deeper qi.
Situ Jian, who was activating his sword energy, felt cold when he saw Mo Hua.
Although he didn't know what the younger senior brother was doing, he felt that his sword energy seemed to be getting a little insight...
Situ Jian was shocked.
How can this be?
The young senior brother is not a sword cultivator, but he is just watching from the side. How can he understand the sword energy?
"Illusion..."
Situ Jian felt a little uneasy, but since he agreed to Mo Hua, he couldn't regret it temporarily, so he could only bite the bullet and slash the Taoist puppets with one sword after another.
I don’t know how long they had been chopping, but just when Situ Jian was feeling more and more uneasy, he heard Mo Hua say:
"alright."
Situ Jian stopped his hand and turned around to see that Mo Hua looked obviously disappointed.
Didn't figure it out...
Mo Hua sighed.
Situ Jian was silent for a moment, but still couldn't help asking:
"Senior Brother, what are you going to do..."
Mo Hua said: "I will study sword energy so that I can deal with Broken Golden Gate."
Situ Jian breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't quite understand what he wanted to do with Duan Jinmen and study his Lihuo sword energy.
And just by looking at it like this, what can you tell?
Situ Jian looked confused.
Mo Hua was silently meditating on the side.
It is feasible to use the sword energy to infer the sword formation in the spiritual sword.
He could indeed calculate a little bit, but it was very difficult and he could only detect some vague traces of the sword formation.
My own calculation method is still not strong enough.
Even with the bonus of scheming, it is still impossible to penetrate the top-secret sword formation.
But Mo Hua is not discouraged.
This kind of thing is the same as drawing formations, practice makes perfect.
If you can't figure it out once, then do it twice, three times... until you figure it out.
So from then on, whenever he had free time, Mo Hua asked Situ Jian to practice sword practice in front of him. He used this to practice his skills and calculate sword formations.
But Mo Hua felt a little sorry for Situ Jian's troubles all the time, so he decided to transfer some meritorious deeds to him.
Now it was Situ Jian who felt embarrassed.
"Senior brother, how could this happen?"
Mo Hua said: "Brothers have to settle accounts openly. You are willing to help me out of love, but I can't let you suffer!"
Situ Jian still wanted to refuse.
Mo Hua said with a straight face: "Take what I give you, I don't lack this merit!"
He has accumulated meritorious deeds for a long time, and now he is a rich man of meritorious deeds.
In terms of background, he is a casual cultivator, and his fellow disciples are children of aristocratic families.
But when it comes to meritorious deeds, he is truly a child of a "noble family", and he is infinitely "richer" than other members of his family.
Situ Jian accepted it gratefully.
He really couldn't refuse the sect's meritorious service.
After accepting the meritorious service, Situ Jian became more serious and focused when he demonstrated Lihuo Sword Qi for Mo Hua.
We can't let our little brother's achievements go to waste.
As for the feeling of having the sword energy penetrated...
After much thought, Situ Jian still felt that it might just be an illusion.
How could he be "seen through" when he used the Lihuo Sword Technique normally and used the Lihuo Spirit Sword to control the Lihuo Sword Qi?
If you just sacrifice your spiritual sword and use sword energy, others will see through it. Then wouldn’t all the sword cultivators in the world be unable to use swords?
This is obviously impossible.
What kind of sword cultivator is called a sword cultivator if he can't draw a sword?
Situ Jian felt at ease.
What's more, the kind-hearted little senior brother also paid a lot of merit to himself.
Situ Jian even felt that he could not judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
And with Situ Jian's cooperation, Mo Hua's proficiency in calculating sword energy is also increasing little by little...
But Situ Jian was not always available.
Occasionally when Situ Jian has something to do, Mo Hua will hire other sword cultivator disciples to demonstrate his sword skills to him.
However, the level of swordsmanship among these disciples is not very high, and Situ is the best.
In this way, Mo Hua practiced over and over again and deduced over and over again, constantly broadening the depth of calculation and enhancing his insight into sword energy.
In his eyes, the sword energy gradually began to eliminate the shape of the sword, and it no longer looked like its original appearance...
Finally, seven days later, after countless tedious and step-by-step calculations in Mo Hua, he suddenly had an epiphany.
His spiritual thoughts suddenly became clear, and his vision suddenly became clear.
In the vision of the spiritual consciousness, the bright red Lihuo sword energy flowing like magma gradually collapsed and decomposed inch by inch, revealing the sharp sword marks contained in its essence, which were as sharp as knives and axes.
These sword marks are the sword formations in the spiritual sword!
Mo Hua was so happy that he immediately wrote down these sword marks with his brush strokes like wind and flowing water.
These sword marks look like formation patterns, but there are no curves, only sharp and straight lines, full of cold sword intent, as if they were chiseled out with a sword.
This is...
The swordsmanship inheritance of the Situ family: Lihuo Sword Formation!
It is also the Lihuo Sword Jue passed down by Situ Jianzu, at least the most critical inheritance among the second-grade Lihuo Sword Jue.
At this time, this top-secret sword formation was calculated by Mo Hua and restored...
Mo Hua looked up and saw nothing in the distance. Situ Jian, who was still concentrating on using his sword energy to chop the puppets, thought for a moment and then erased the sword formation he just memorized.
At the same time, he also forced himself to forget the Lihuo Sword Formation in his mind.
This sword formation cannot be left behind.
The sword formation is the top secret of the kendo family.
Once this Lihuo Sword Formation is leaked, it will definitely bring disaster to the Situ family.
Although Situ Jian did it unintentionally and had no knowledge of it, he could not be blamed, but tracing the source, the sword formation was leaked from him, and he could not escape his involvement.
In this way, he is no longer human inside and out.
Since Situ calls him little senior brother and trusts him, he must not cheat him.
Mo Hua nodded.
The Lihuo Sword Formation on the picture was erased by him, and the Lihuo Sword Formation in his mind was also forcibly forgotten by him.
Mo Hua felt relieved and said, "Situ, it's ready."
Situ Jian retracted his hand and said with some surprise:
"Is it over?"
"Yes." Mo Hua nodded and said with a smile, "I'll treat you to something delicious!"
Situ Jian humbly declined a few times, and then went to the dining hall with Mo Hua for a big meal.
Although he is not greedy for these food and drink desires, he will not refuse the treat of his junior senior brother.
In this way, Mo Hua invited Situ Jian to have a sumptuous spiritual meal in the dining hall on the second floor where his disciples lived.
Of course Yu'er was also there, along with Yang Qianjun, Hao Xuan, Xie Ling, and Cheng Mo.
During the banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
But Mo Hua paid special attention to Cheng Mo, and even specially ordered a plate of elbows and placed it in front of Cheng Mo, "Cheng Mo, eat more."
Cheng Mo was a little flattered, but also a little confused, "Senior brother, didn't you treat Situ to dinner? Why do you always ask me to eat more..."
Mo Hua said: "Because next, it will be your turn to help."
Cheng Mo glanced at the spicy and oily elbow in front of him, patted his chest and promised:
"Senior Brother, don't worry, I will take care of everything."
Mo Hua nodded, "Then eat more, and you won't be beaten until you're full."
Cheng Mo, who was chewing his elbow with his mouth wide open, was stunned for a moment.
"Get...beaten?"
"Yes," Mo Hua nodded, "Be beaten."
…
Two days later, in the Demon Refining Mountain, Mo Hua put three layers of armor on Cheng Mo, one layer of golden armor, one layer of soft silk armor, and one layer of fine iron armor.
"I'll call the people from Golden Gate to fight you later. Be more arrogant and don't seek to win, just to delay. The longer the delay, the better."
Cheng Mo grimaced.
Hao Xuan was very puzzled, "Senior Brother, what on earth are you going to do?"
Mo Hua gave it up and said, "You will know later."
Hao Xuan nodded in understanding.
Mo Hua patted Cheng Mo's shoulder again and said, "Be aggrieved and get beaten more often. These three layers of armor are specially refined. Although they cannot withstand the sword energy, they can reduce the spiritual power and strength of the gold. You are strong." If you are strong, you should be able to hold on for a long time.”
Cheng Mo looked at Mo Hua sadly.
Mo Hua said sternly: "This matter is of vital importance. It is related to the turf war between my disciples of Taixu Sect and Duanjin Sect, as well as the profits from hunting monsters in the future. Only you can handle such an important task!"
Cheng Mo didn't believe it, "Is it true..."
"I'm your little senior brother, can you still not believe me?" Mo Hua said.
Cheng Mo looked a little complicated.
Mo Hua decided to finish drawing the cake and give some "jujubes" first, "You go and get beaten, I will pay you merit, one hundred merit in half an hour!"
Cheng Mo was stunned for a moment, "Really?"
Mo Hua nodded and said: "Pay now."
Cheng Mo suddenly felt a little shy, "I'm so sorry to have to spend so much money on my junior brother..."
"Forget it if you don't answer, I'll find someone else."
"Don't!" Cheng Mo said immediately, "Other disciples will definitely not be beaten as much as me. I will definitely have to do such hard work."
Then he confirmed: "Half an hour, just one hundred meritorious deeds..."
"That's right," Mo Hua said, "If you can delay it for five hours, it will be a thousand meritorious deeds!"
A thousand meritorious deeds!
Cheng Mo's eyes turned red.
Situ Jian and others next to him were also envious, but it was a pity that they were not as strong-blooded as Cheng Mo. They could not "resist beatings" as well as Cheng Mo, so they could not earn this meritorious service.
Cheng Mo immediately vowed:
"Senior brother, don't worry, let alone being beaten, even if you go up a mountain of swords and into a sea of fire, as long as you say something, I, Cheng Mo, will never frown!"
"Okay," Mo Hua felt helpless, "Stop bragging and prepare quickly. Take some health-reviving elixirs beforehand. I'll find someone to beat you."
Cheng Mo chuckled silly and said, "Okay!"
Mo Hua left everyone and wandered around the Demon Refining Mountain in hiding, looking for the chosen target.
It didn't take long for him to discover the pretty boy from Duanjinmen.
The pretty boy "Song Jian", with a gloomy look on his face, was searching for something all over the mountains and fields with ten of his disciples.
Mo Hua showed his figure and shouted, "Pretty face."
Song Jian was obviously stunned for a moment. When he saw the ink painting alone, appearing ten feet away, he was a little unbelievable.
How dare this little brat appear in front of him alone? !
Song Jian's white face turned red with anger.
This is obviously not taking yourself seriously!
That's too much!
Song Jian waved his hand and said coldly: "Catch him and beat him to death!"
The other Jinmen Duanmen disciples immediately wanted to rush towards Mo Hua.
Mo Hua said, "You don't want your sword anymore?"
"Stop!" Song Jian said immediately.
A group of Jinmen Duanmen disciples stopped again and stopped where they were.
Song Jian's eyelids twitched wildly and he looked at Mo Hua angrily, "Where is my Broken Gold Sword?"
Already turned into scrap metal...
But it was definitely difficult to say this kind of thing, so Mo Hua said vaguely: "Let's compete. If you win, I will return the 'sword' to you."
Song Jian's eyes narrowed and he snorted coldly: "Why should I compete with you?"
"Forget it if we don't compete," Mo Hua said casually, "I'll find a weapon refiner to dismantle your broken gold sword into scrap metal and throw it into the furnace to melt it..."
"You dare?!" Song Jian's eyes were splitting.
Mo Hua looked indifferent.
No matter what he dares to do...he has already done it and is just left with the last step...
Song Jian took a long breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
People under the eaves have to bow their heads.
The sword was in Mo Hua's hand, and he had to compromise.
"Okay," Song Jian said, "I'll compete with you."
"It's not you who competes with me," Mo Hua shook his head and said, "It's you who compete with my 'big brother'."
The ink painting slightly elevated Cheng Mo's status.
Song Jian frowned, "Your eldest brother?"
Mo Hua nodded, "Yes, that's the big man who chopped you with an ax that day."
Song Jian immediately thought of the big man in the lead and the two axes on his neck, and the anger in his eyes became even more intense.
"Okay, the old and new grudges are all over."
but……
Song Jian's eyes darkened slightly and he looked at Mo Hua, "Why do you want to compete with me?"
Mo Hua sighed, a little embarrassed:
"When we enter Demon Refining Mountain, we just want to hunt demon beasts and earn some merit. We don't want to waste time breaking up the Golden Gate with you, and no one will benefit from it."
"In that case, why not give it a try."
"If you win, we will return the sword to you."
"If you lose, Jinmen Duan will stop and don't embarrass us again."
Song Jian frowned, secretly feeling that the ink painting was childish.
The matter of Demon Refining Mountain is related to the interests of the sect and many disciples. How can it be decided in a duel?
Furthermore, how could one of his disciples, no matter how high his status he was, take charge of the matter of breaking the Golden Gate?
But the most urgent task is to win back the Broken Golden Sword first.
He is now in the middle stage of foundation building.
After reaching the late stage of foundation building, you must prepare to cultivate the "natural magic weapon". This spiritual sword is the embryo of the magic weapon. It is very important to you and you must not make any mistakes.
Promises can be made without any proof, and no one can take them seriously. Let's fool this brat first, agree to a fight, and then take back his Broken Gold Sword.
Song Jian then said falsely:
"Okay, it's a deal!"
But what Song Jian didn't know was that Mo Hua was actually talking nonsense.
He could return the Broken Gold Sword, because it was just scrap metal and there was no use in keeping it.
But Demon Refining Mountain is such an important territory, where you can hunt monsters, absorb monster blood, extract materials, and earn merit... How could he let it go?
Whoever agrees cannot agree.
Mo Hua nodded and said, "You come with me."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Song Jian hesitated a little.
The surrounding Duanjinmen disciples, most of whom were from the Song family, saw this and said, "Young master, I'm afraid there is a scam."
"I'm afraid this kid has ulterior motives."
"It's better to take a long-term view..."
Song Jian hesitated, but Mo Hua kept walking forward without looking back, and was about to go far away.
Once Mo Hua really went far away, Song Jian was afraid that he would never get his Broken Gold Sword back in this life.
After struggling for a long time, Song Jian gritted his teeth and ordered: "You guys wait here."
Then he immediately used the Golden Escape Technique, transformed into golden light, and chased after him. He followed Mo Hua into the woods...
