Chapter 431 Zhang Quan

Mo Hua felt that this matter was full of doubts. After thinking about it, he had no clue.

It would be fine if he caught the gray monk.

There would be a breakthrough.

After the battle in Baihua Tower, Mo Hua had almost figured out the gray monk's trump card.

It would be much easier to trick him.

On the way back, Mo Hua thought about his worries and sighed.

He had been practicing routinely these days, and his cultivation had increased step by step.

But the enhancement of his spiritual consciousness stopped at the twelve patterns and it was difficult to make any further progress.

One reason was that there was no twelve-pattern formation for him to learn, so his spiritual consciousness grew slowly;

The second reason was because of the Dao Monument.

Ever since Mo Hua used the Dao Monument to realize the Dao, the Dao Monument was overloaded and has not yet fully recovered.

Mo Hua's daily practice of formations was greatly reduced, and his spiritual consciousness grew very little.

According to this progress, his spiritual consciousness might not break through the thirteen patterns when he built his foundation.

The Dao monument is recovering slowly, and the first-grade twelve-pattern formation is even harder to find.

Mo Hua has been searching for so many days, but still has nothing to show for it.

At present, it seems that the only clue is to find Instructor Yan.

But where is Instructor Yan?

Mo Hua sighed again.

Bai Zisheng was a little surprised and asked:

"Mo Hua, are you worried?"

Mo Hua nodded, "My spiritual consciousness is growing too slowly..."

If I can't find Instructor Yan, I can't find the absolute formation. Without the absolute formation, I can't hone my spiritual consciousness. If I can't hone my spiritual consciousness, I can't prove the Dao with my spiritual consciousness as Mr. Zhuang said.

Cultivate the ultimate spiritual consciousness, exhaust the formation, and strive for the great Dao.

Mo Hua's current spiritual consciousness is still far from the standard given by Mr. Zhuang.

"How much spiritual consciousness do you have now?"

Bai Zisheng asked curiously.

He only knew that Mo Hua's spiritual consciousness was strong and had the foundation-building level, but he hadn't asked specifically how strong it was.

He had never learned the formation that Mo Hua was learning, nor could he learn it, let alone learn it.

Mo Hua muttered, "Only twelve patterns..."

Bai Zisheng was slightly startled, "How many?"

"Twelve..."

Bai Zisheng was silent.

Only twelve patterns...

This is almost reaching the limit of the spiritual consciousness in the early stage of foundation building.

Generally, a formation master at the foundation building stage with ten spiritual consciousness patterns can try to learn the second-grade formation.

Most second-grade formation masters have about eleven or twelve spiritual consciousness patterns at the beginning.

It was also the first time that Bai Zisheng heard that a Qi-refining cultivator could have twelve spiritual consciousness patterns.

And it seemed that Mo Hua was very unhappy.

He looked reluctant and unsatisfied.

He got the advantage and still acted like a spoiled child!

Bai Zisheng was so angry that he couldn't help scratching Mo Hua's head.

Even Bai Zixi, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but scratch Mo Hua's hair together with Bai Zisheng.

Mo Hua was a little helpless.

But since he was the junior brother, he didn't bother with his junior brothers and sisters.

After they returned to the cave,

Mo Hua took out a Si Nan mother array compass.

On this compass, there was a Si Nan mother array.

And the corresponding Si Nan sub array, Mo Hua drew it on fine needles made of fine iron with micro-carving techniques.

Mo Hua gave these fine needles to Bai Zisheng in advance, so that when he fought with the gray monk, he could pierce the clothes or body of the gray monk without anyone noticing.

In this way, he could judge the position of the sub array based on the Si Nan mother array and track the whereabouts of the gray monk.

The gray monk hired a killer to kill the mine cultivator and bought the corpse of the mine cultivator. I don't know what he was doing.

But it won't be a good thing anyway.

When he fought today, he took the bloody and evil pill that could transform into a corpse and increase his strength. It was probably made from corpses.

In the past few decades, I don't know how many mine cultivators have died because of this.

I don't know how many families of mine cultivators have fallen apart because of this.

Mine cultivators are already in poverty and it is not easy to make a living. They are also targeted by such evil ways and die without a complete body.

Mo Hua's face turned cold.

So this gray monk must be killed!

But before killing him, Mo Hua wanted to ask him if he knew the whereabouts of Master Yan.

Master Yan disappeared in the mine.

The worst case scenario is that he was killed by Wang Lai and others, and his body was sold to the gray monk.

In addition, there is another possibility, that Master Yan discovered something and followed the clues to track it down...

In this case, Master Yan is likely to have an intersection with this gray monk.

In any case, Mo Hua must confirm it.

But there is no light spot on the compass of the Si Nan Mother Array, which also means that there is no trace of the gray monk.

"Broken?"

Bai Zisheng frowned.

Mo Hua checked the formation and shook his head, "It's not broken."

"So... your Si Nan needles were discovered by him?"

"Even if he discovered them, if the needles were lost or damaged, there would be some reaction on the compass."

Bai Zixi thought for a moment and said slowly:

"Because of the escape technique?"

Mo Hua was startled, then figured it out.

The gray monk knew the escape technique, and escaping into the ground would cover up the aura of the formation and affect the connection between the mother and child formations.

If he didn't show up in the mother formation, either he was still in the secret passage and didn't come out.

Or the gray monk used the escape technique and didn't know where he got into the ground.

Mo Hua thought for a moment and said:

"Wait a minute."

As a demon hunter, you must have enough patience when hunting prey.

This is what his father Mo Shan taught him.

Two days later, Situ Fang came over and told Mo Hua that Dao Tingsi had found out the identity of the gray monk.

"This man is called Zhang Quan, a monk from Nanyue City, and his family has been engaged in coffins for generations..."

"Coffins?" Mo Hua was slightly startled.

"It's the coffin."

"Oh." Mo Hua understood.

Doing the coffin business...

It matches the image and temperament of the gray-robed monk, as well as his actions.

Situ Fang continued:

"Thirty years ago, Zhang Quan's parents died, and he was the only one running the coffin shop..."

"Zhang Quan has a gloomy aura and doesn't talk to the monks in the neighborhood, but because he is in the business of dealing with the dead, everyone is used to it."

"Zhang Quan occasionally gambles and often visits prostitutes..."

"I asked several female monks in Baihua Tower, and they told me that Zhang Quan often stays in brothels, but rarely shows his true face."

"The monks who know Zhang Quan don't know that he is actually a foundation-building monk."

Mo Hua asked, "Have you been to Zhang Quan's residence?"

Situ Fang nodded, "I have been there, and the shop is closed. We broke in and found that the coffin inside was all burned, and some other items were also destroyed."

"I don't know if he did it himself, or if he has accomplices who are helping him destroy the evidence."

"The question now is, he What exactly is the purpose of buying corpses? "

"Is the elixir he took that day made from corpses?"

"If so, where was it made, where is the elixir furnace, how did he get the elixir formula, and through what channels did he buy the herbs for making the evil elixir?"

"Did he make it himself, or was someone helping him make it?"

"Besides that, does he have any other ulterior motives..."

...

Situ Fang finished the story and sighed:

"The Daoting Division has issued a wanted order. If he is caught, these things should be revealed."

Then she looked at Mo Hua and was a little worried:

"You should be careful these days."

"That day in Baihua Tower, he tried every means to kill you. Now that he has escaped to the dark, he might attack you..."

Mo Hua nodded, "Well, I know what's going on."

Situ Fang was still a little worried.

Mo Hua said, "Don't worry, I'll follow my senior brothers and sisters, they will protect me."

Situ Fang was relieved, chatted for a while, drank a few cups of tea, and left.

However, Mo Hua's eyes were slightly fixed.

His spiritual awareness was strong, and he knew how to hide, so it was impossible for Zhang Quan to find him.

And now, it was not him who was looking for Mo Hua, but Mo Hua who was looking for him.

The young Mo Hua was the hunter, and Zhang Quan, who was in the foundation-building stage, was the prey.

In the next few days, when Mo Hua had time, he would take out the Si Nan compass and check the movement on it.

Three days later in the afternoon, the compass finally lit up.

Two spots of light were lit together, and the other spot was a little dim.

It seemed that Zhang Quan found a needle, so he twisted it off and threw it away.

As for the other two, he didn't find them, so they should still be on him.

Mo Hua was refreshed.

Finally, the truth was revealed...

Mo Hua took out the map of Nanyue City again and found that the bright spot was located in a remote mine outside the city.

There are many mines outside Nanyue City.

These mines are owned by the Lu family, the Nanyue Sect, the Daoting Division, and some are occupied by other large and small families, sects or dead people.

Some mines are being mined; some have not been mined for various reasons;

And some mines have been mined out and abandoned.

Zhang Quan's hiding place is an abandoned mine.

Mo Hua and the other two, wearing cloaks and hiding their bodies, left Nanyue City and arrived at the mine where Zhang Quan was hiding.

This is a very small mine, dirty and messy.

Because it was abandoned, there is no popularity.

Instead, the mines are filled with stale dead air.

Mo Hua swept his spiritual sense and his eyes were slightly cold.

There is a lot of gloomy atmosphere in this mine.

The bodies of the miners that Zhang Quan bought might be hidden here.
