Chapter 260 Cave

Generally speaking, there are two ways for cultivators to deal with formations, one is to break the formation, and the other is to resolve the formation.

Breaking the formation means that cultivators rely on their cultivation or martial arts to forcibly destroy the formation's eye, medium, hub or pattern.

Resolving the formation can only be done by formation masters, and only a few formation masters with extensive experience and high attainments can do it.

Resolving the formation is to use the mutual generation and restraint between the formation patterns, the opening and closing of the formation hub structure, or the positive and negative spiritual power of the formation eye to resolve the formation.

At present, Mo Hua only knows one method of resolving the formation, which is to resolve the formation through the mutual generation and restraint of the formation patterns.

Just now, Mo Hua peeked for a long time with his spiritual sense, and roughly confirmed the formation drawn inside through the stone wall. The stone wall should be dominated by the five elements earth and stone formation, mixed with other scattered small formations.

For the sinners, this formation is already pretty good.

But in Mo Hua's eyes, it is not good enough.

Mo Hua took out the pen and ink from the storage bag and began to draw the formation pattern on the stone wall.

There are two situations when using the formation pattern to solve the formation. One is to solve the formation from the inside, and the other is to solve the formation from the outside.

When solving the formation from the inside, you can see the formation pattern, and the formation pattern drawn when solving the formation is also on the same side of the formation medium.

Mo Hua usually practices drawing and solving the formation by himself, which actually belongs to solving the formation from the inside.

This is relatively easier.

When solving the formation from the outside, you can't see the formation pattern through the formation medium.

You need to guess the type of formation based on your own experience and understanding of the formation, and use your spiritual sense to perceive the position of the formation pattern, and draw the formation pattern that counteracts each other at the same position, so that the formation patterns cancel each other out and make the formation invalid.

The current situation belongs to solving the formation from the outside.

Mo Hua has never tried to solve the formation in this way before.

Fortunately, the formation drawn on the stone wall is not difficult. With Mo Hua's experience in formation and the strength of his spiritual sense, he can perceive the specific position of the formation pattern.

Next, just draw the formation pattern that counteracts each other, which is very simple.

In just two cups of tea, Mo Hua had drawn the array pattern on the stone wall to solve the array.

These array patterns are similar to the structure of the array, but the brushwork is special and contains the principle of life and death. It looks like the reverse side of the array in the mirror, strange and mysterious.

Zhang Lan was amazed.

With the last stroke of Mo Hua, the array was solved.

The array pattern on the stone wall flashed, and the spiritual power penetrated into the inside, and then the soil and stones rustled, like the bark drying up, the tree grain falling off, and the whole stone wall gradually cracked, showing a gray-brown color after drying.

Zhang Lan was secretly surprised: "It actually succeeded..."

And looking at Mo Hua's ease, it is obvious that he is not just guessing, but really has a deep foundation in solving the array, otherwise it would be impossible to solve the array in one go.

Zhang Lan sighed and found that he still underestimated Mo Hua's talent in the array.

Now it can no longer be regarded as a talent for the array, but a real attainment in the array.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe anything. A young cultivator in his teens had already learned to break the formation.

Zhang Lan was quite emotional.

The formation on the stone wall was broken, and it lost its protection.

Someone was needed to break through the wall.

Mo Hua glanced at Zhang Lan, and Zhang Lan said silently:

"I'm not a physical cultivator."

Mo Hua looked at him with some disdain, and then called Mo Shan: "Dad."

Mo Shan, who was far away, came over and said, "What's wrong?"

Mo Hua pointed at the stone wall with his finger, "Dad, break this through."

Mo Shan nodded, and his spiritual power stimulated his physical strength. With one punch, the stone wall was smashed to pieces. When the dust cleared, the appearance inside was revealed.

This is a large cave, which is very dark and dry.

The cave is full of spiritual stones, various kinds of spiritual tools, and many bottles and jars are piled in the corners, mostly elixirs, and some good wine.

Mo Hua looked a little shocked, and then felt a little uncomfortable.

The more spiritual materials there are here, the more monks are robbed, and the more people die at the hands of this group of sinners.

Zhang Lan looked solemn and sighed: "No wonder those sinners are stubborn when interrogated. This cave was discovered, and even if they didn't commit a capital crime before, they are now doomed to die."

A cave full of stolen goods, how many people did they rob and kill...

"What should we do with these things?" Mo Hua asked.

Zhang Lan pondered for a moment and said, "Let's classify them and register them."

Then he explained:

"There are many missing caravans and monks whose whereabouts are unknown. The things here can be used to identify their identities, to know which caravans were robbed by this group of sinners, and which monks were killed by them."

"Many families of missing monks are still waiting for them to go back. Whether they are alive or dead, at least there should be an explanation."

At this point, Zhang Lan couldn't help but sigh.

The practice of Taoism is dangerous. If you are not good enough, once you are in danger, it is hard to predict whether you will live or die.

Mo Hua nodded when he heard this.

Zhang Lan looked at Mo Hua and said, "You can take whatever you like. You have made great contributions this time. The Dao Tingsi will definitely reward you handsomely. It is reasonable for you to take something."

Mo Hua thought about it and shook his head. "Forget it. Most of these things belong to innocent people who died in vain. Let's take them back and register them. This will help identify their identities and give an explanation to their families."

Zhang Lan looked at Mo Hua and nodded approvingly.

Mo Hua looked around the cave again and suddenly felt strange:

"It seems that there is nothing here from Kong Sheng's caravan."

"Aren't there those elixirs?"

The caravan that Kong Sheng followed was engaged in the sale of elixirs.

Zhang Lan said, and then his heart skipped a beat and said, "No."

He walked to the corner, picked up a few bottles of elixirs, opened the lids and smelled them, and his brows couldn't help but frowned:

"These are all aged elixirs, the elixir smells very light, they were not robbed recently."

Since they are engaged in the sale of elixirs, it is impossible to sell aged elixirs. Even if they are inferior, it can only be a small part.

Most of the elixirs will be produced within half a year.

The newly produced elixirs have a strong fragrance, while the aged elixirs will gradually fade in fragrance.

All the pills in this cave are old pills with bland taste.

This means that this group of criminals have not robbed the caravans selling pills recently.

"Impossible..." Zhang Lan wondered, "Did they eat all these pills?"

Zhang Lan thought about it and denied it:

"Even if they eat pills as food, they can't finish them in such a short time."

Mo Shan heard this and thought for a while, "Before we came, there was no smell of blood in this valley."

This means that this group of criminals will not bring people to the valley to kill.

According to what Guang Tou Tuo said, they usually kill people on the spot and then rob the goods.

When the caravan where Kong Sheng was was robbed, there was not much blood at the scene, all of which were left by fighting, and there were no signs of slaughter.

If they were eaten by monsters, the scene would be even bloodier.

For a moment, the three of them felt full of doubts.

Logically speaking, it should be that the bald monk robbed the caravan, took away the elixir, and then killed the monks in the caravan on the spot.

Kong Sheng also died with the traveling merchants.

But now it seems that the bald monks did not rob the caravan, and naturally did not kill Kong Sheng.

So where did the caravan go?

And is Kong Sheng dead or not?

I have recovered, although I am better, but my spirit is a little depressed.

I can only update twice a day, and I will save some manuscripts and add more when I am ready.

This book will continue to be written, don't worry.

Classical fairy tales are supposed to have a long word count, and the current results are enough for me to persevere.

Finally, thank you all for your support and encouragement, and I wish you all health and happiness~
