Chapter 306: Fog Forest

Commander Yang dispatched three teams of Taoist soldiers, all of whom were well-armored and had profound cultivation.

Commander Yang ordered them sternly: "You must protect Mr. Xiao Mo during this trip, otherwise you will be punished by military law!"

"Yes!" The Taoist soldiers responded in unison.

Afterwards, Commander Yang took the lead, leading three teams of Taoist soldiers to escort Mo Hua to the misty forest deep in the mountains, while Mo Hua and Zhang Lan walked behind.

On the way, Mo Hua secretly asked Zhang Lan: "Uncle Zhang, are you familiar with Commander Yang?"

"It's okay."

"You seem to have a good relationship."

"What nonsense." Zhang Lan curled his lips, "How is the relationship good?"

"It looks very good."

Zhang Lan glared at Mo Hua and explained:

"Our Zhang and Yang families have always been in-laws, and the elders are related and often visit each other. He and I are of similar age and have known each other since childhood. Of course, we have been at odds since childhood."

"I see that you two seem to be having a lot of fun bickering, and it doesn't seem like you are at odds..."

Mo Hua said silently in his heart.

Zhang Lan glanced at Mo Hua, "Are you saying bad things about me in your heart?"

Mo Hua shook his head, "No."

Zhang Lan snorted.

Mo Hua asked, "Uncle Zhang, since you are of similar age and have known each other since childhood, why is Commander Yang already at the foundation building stage, while you are only at the ninth level of Qi Refining? Is it because you are not as talented as him?"

"What do you know?" Zhang Lan said in a low voice, "I am accumulating strength for a long time, not seeking for a momentary rush, but seeking a longer-term path."

Mo Hua muttered in a low voice, "I didn't see that..."

Zhang Lan pinched Mo Hua's little face angrily, "It's just foundation building. If I want, I can build a foundation tomorrow."

Mo Hua obviously didn't believe it, "Foundation building is not a piece of cake, how can it be so easy?"

"That's difficult for casual cultivators. For disciples of aristocratic families, foundation building is just a matter of effort. The difficult part is how to polish the foundation in the Qi Refining stage."

Mo Hua nodded, and Mr. Zhuang, Zisheng and Zixi said the same thing.

"But..." Mo Hua couldn't help but said, "You've been polishing for too long..."

You've been polishing until you're over 30...

Zhang Lan sighed, "I can't help myself."

Mo Hua quietly approached Zhang Lan and said with concern: "Uncle Zhang, if you have any troubles, just tell me, I will keep it a secret for you."

Zhang Lan glanced at Mo Hua, "You want to hear a story..."

Mo Hua smiled embarrassedly.

Zhang Lan shook his head helplessly, "It's nothing big, but once you build your foundation, you have to marry a woman you don't like for the sake of family marriage."

"Do you have someone you like?" Mo Hua asked.

Zhang Lan scratched his head, "You're still young, don't ask about these, concentrate on practicing and learning formations."

"I practice very hard," Mo Hua said, "I'm bored on the way, so I chat with you to kill time."

Zhang Lan's face darkened, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that I was using it to kill time...

The two of them whispered and talked all the way.

Arriving at the edge of the mist forest, everyone found a huge rock to hide.

Mo Hua poked his head out and looked at the opposite side for a while, then released his spiritual sense, using Xu Bai's spiritual sense to sense the spiritual power of the opposite side.

The moment Mo Hua released his spiritual sense, Commander Yang was stunned, then shook his head, muttering in his heart: "Impossible..."

After a while, Mo Hua retracted his spiritual sense and nodded:

"The position of the mist array has indeed changed, and the number has also increased."

Zhang Lan's eyes condensed, "Did they notice anything?"

Commander Yang said with a firm look: "If they don't notice, we will attack them by surprise. If they notice, then we will confront them head-on and kill them all! In any case, what we have to do is the same."

Mo Hua nodded, thought for a while, and then said:

"Commander Yang, you stay here, I'll go in and take a look first. If I don't run into the evil If you find an evil cultivator, I will draw a guide map for the mist forest. If I find an evil cultivator, I will come back to call you. You can secretly capture him and torture him severely to see if you can get anything out of him. "

Commander Yang was stunned and then refused:

"This is too dangerous. I will go with you."

Mo Hua shook his head and said, "If we go in together, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, which will easily alert the enemy; if I go in alone, the enemy is in the light and I am in the dark, and they can't find me."

Commander Yang didn't understand, "How come you are in the dark when you go in alone?"

After saying that, he was stunned, because Mo Hua disappeared under his nose, silently, without leaving a trace.

Commander Yang looked at Zhang Lan in disbelief, "It turned out to be a concealment technique?"

Zhang Lan nodded.

Commander Yang frowned and thought for a while, but still shook his head and said, "Concealment techniques also have flaws, and they will be detected by the divine consciousness..."

He was suddenly stunned as he spoke.

Because he let go of the divine consciousness, there was no figure of Mo Hua in the divine consciousness field of vision.

Considering the previous speculation, Commander Yang widened his eyes and said with a trembling voice:

"Foundation-building consciousness?!"

Zhang Lan nodded calmly, patted Commander Yang on the shoulder, and frowned:

"How can you be a good commander if you are so startled? Don't tell others that I know you. I can't afford to lose this person..."

"Get lost!" Commander Yang lowered his voice, "Where the hell have I ever seen a cultivator with foundation-building consciousness in the Qi Refining Stage?"

"You have seen it, haven't you?"

Commander Yang's eyes were still filled with shock, and he murmured, "How did he do it..."

"Don't ask me about that."

Zhang Lan suddenly thought of something, and warned him seriously, "Don't tell anyone about this. Mo Hua This child has a bad background, and may be envied by others. "

Commander Yang glanced at Zhang Lan, "Don't worry, I'm not you, and I can't be trusted."

After that, Commander Yang looked around and said to the Taoist soldiers around him:

"What Zhang Diansi and I said just now is confidential. If you hear it, keep it in your heart and don't leak it at all."

Commander Yang looked stern, and the Taoist soldiers were all his confidants. They looked solemn when they heard it, and they all bowed and said:

"Follow the commander's order!"

Zhang Lan nodded, "Don't say it, you are now in good shape, and you really look like a commander..."

Commander Yang rolled his eyes at him and ignored him.

Mo Hua hid his figure and entered the fog forest quietly.

There were more fog arrays and thicker fog, but for Mo Hua, these had no effect.

According to Mr. Zhuang, everything has appearance and true appearance.

In this fog forest, the fog is the appearance, and the array is the true appearance.

Mo Hua had already learned the first-grade ten-pattern reverse spirit formation, and the ordinary first-grade nine-pattern fog formation was considered a relatively "shallow" formation in his eyes.

Mo Hua took a few glances and understood the formations in the fog forest.

Mo Hua climbed up the tree using the Water Step, took out a pen and paper, and marked the positions of the fog formations in the fog forest.

From the outside to the inside, Mo Hua outlined the traces of the deep mountains one by one.

Following the outer edge of the fog forest and the position of the fog formation, he came to the gate of the Black Mountain Village, but he didn't encounter any evil cultivators.

Mo Hua couldn't help but frown.

Among the evil cultivators in the Black Mountain Village, only the third boss was a first-grade formation master, and these fog formations were also set up by him personally.

The third boss renovated the fog formation again, so he should have discovered something?

But what did he discover?

Found the corner of the Black Mountain Village that was dug up?

Found the formation that was solved in pieces?

Or did he discover Mo Hua's identity?

Mo Hua couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he didn't think about it for the time being. Anyway, when the Taoist soldiers broke through the Black Mountain Village and killed this group of evil cultivators, everything would be clear.

He would definitely not go to the Black Mountain Village again. After drawing the guide map of the mist forest, the purpose of this trip would be achieved.

Mo Hua got up and left, ready to go back.

Before leaving, he turned around and looked at the Black Mountain Village again.

A doubt from a long time ago came to his mind:

How was such a large Black Mountain Village built?
