Chapter 458 Riot

After that, Mo Hua spent a few days to "digest" Elder Tieshi and purify his evil thoughts, and his spiritual consciousness increased a lot.

"As expected of Elder Tieshi, his spiritual consciousness is comparable to the foundation..."

Mo Hua was overjoyed.

With the spiritual consciousness strengthened, and when the spiritual consciousness fought, the spiritual power condensed the spells and formations, Mo Hua's spiritual power control became more subtle, and his understanding of the spiritual pivot formation was deepened.

But it stopped there.

After that, no matter how much Mo Hua practiced or thought, he could not comprehend anything.

His understanding of the spiritual pivot formation reached a bottleneck.

Mo Hua thought about it and felt that this should not be his problem.

After all, learning the spiritual pivot formation, whether it was the consumption of spiritual consciousness or the understanding of the law, it was not to the point of exhaustion and difficulty.

Now that he encountered a bottleneck, it should be a problem with the formation itself.

The spiritual pivot formation in his hand was incomplete.

It is impossible to fully comprehend the essence of spiritual power with an incomplete formation.

"It seems that I have to find a way to find a complete spiritual formation..."

Mo Hua said silently in his heart.

In the next period of time, he still has to deal with the Zhang family's "zombie" map.

"Eat" the zombies in the map one by one, from weak to strong.

Fight to support the war, "eat" the disciples and grandchildren, strengthen the spiritual consciousness, and finally deal with the ancestor of the zombies.

That is Zhang Quan's ancestor.

However, according to Elder Tieshi, this zombie ancestor has many tricks.

Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.

You have to find a way to find out its details before you can try to target it.

Moreover, Mo Hua is not very familiar with the manifestation of spiritual thoughts.

Although they have fought many times before, the manifestation of spells and formations is also quite good, but Mo Hua is still not satisfied.

The manifested spiritual power is not real enough;

The manifested spells are less powerful;

And the manifested formations are still a bit slow...

At this level, it is easy to deal with small zombies.

It can barely kill the Iron Corpse Elder.

But facing the zombie ancestor of the Zhang family, Mo Hua is not sure.

Although for ordinary cultivators, the Zhang family has evil thoughts and zombies, and I don’t know how many people they have swallowed, their strength is already very strong.

It is good to be able to kill zombies and iron corpses.

But Mo Hua thinks that he is Mr. Zhuang’s disciple.

Since the master has taught me to manifest my spiritual consciousness, I must learn it very well, otherwise I will definitely lose the master’s face and disappoint the master’s expectations of me.

So the spiritual consciousness must be cultivated to the extreme.

The manifestation of the divine consciousness must also be cultivated to the extreme!

The manifestation of spells and formations needs to be based on the manifestation of spiritual power.

The manifestation of spiritual power requires the understanding of the essence of spiritual power.

The deeper the cognition, the more real the manifestation, and the stronger the power.

The cognition of the essence of spiritual power involves the spiritual axis formation.

So after Mo Hua "eats" the zombies, he will start to find the complete spiritual axis formation.

Moreover, this spiritual axis formation is also related to the traitor of Xiao Lingyin Sect.

Yan Jiaoxi has spent most of his life trying to settle this sect feud.

His obsession in this life is to find the spiritual axis formation and kill the traitor who betrayed his teacher and destroyed his ancestors.

Yan Jiaoxi has a kindness to him.

A drop of water should be repaid with a spring.

If the mastermind behind the corpse cultivation in the mine is really the traitor of Xiao Lingyin Sect, Mo Hua doesn't mind letting the damned die a worthy death.

...

The clues to the spiritual axis formation are hidden in Zhang Quan's body, and Zhang Quan is imprisoned in Daotingsi.

These days, Mo Hua's mind has been used to catch zombies.

But he has also been paying attention to the news from Daotingsi.

When Situ Fang and Situ Jin came to give gifts, Mo Hua asked about them indirectly.

The gifts Situ Fang gave were formation diagrams and some formation books.

This was agreed upon before.

It was both Situ Fang's gratitude and the friendship of the Situ family.

You can receive rewards if you have made contributions.

He had helped a lot in the matter of the Walking Corpse Village.

What's more, it was something related to formations.

Mo Hua accepted it with peace of mind.

In addition, there were some pens, ink, paper and inkstones, the spiritual fruit specialties of the Situ family, and various spiritual meats.

They were not expensive, but they were very thoughtful.

Mo Hua also accepted them.

The spiritual fruit can be made into cakes for the little sister.

The spiritual meat was stewed and given to the master and the little brother.

In addition, there were some strange fruits. I didn't know what they tasted like, but they looked crispy. Mo Hua also planned to fry them and let Kui Lao taste them...

After receiving the gifts, serving tea, and exchanging a few pleasantries, Mo Hua asked:

"How is Zhang Quan?"

Situ Jin hesitated.

Situ Fang hesitated for a while and shook his head:

"I didn't get anything out of him..."

"Did they torture him?"

"Yes," Situ Fang sighed, "I broke five or six sticks, but he just didn't say a word."

Mo Hua asked in confusion, "Doesn't he feel pain?"

Situ Jin frowned and explained:

"It looks like a special skill that can make the skin and flesh stiff, numb and pain-free."

"What about other means?" Mo Hua thought for a while and said:

"I remember Uncle Zhang told me that the punishments of Daotingsi are varied, including pinching fingers, cutting meridians, poisoning eyes..."

"What did Zhang Lan tell you?"

Situ Fang complained in her heart.

She wrote down what Mo Hua said.

The next time she went to Zhang's house to complain, Zhang Lan's "crime" would have one more.

Then Situ Fang said helplessly, "I used it, but it didn't work."

"Okay..."

Mo Hua felt a little regretful.

"I'll find a way to ask again. If Zhang Quan said anything, I'll tell you again." Situ Fang said.

"Yeah, thank you Sister Situ!"

Mo Hua also nodded.

After Situ Fang and Situ Jin left, Mo Hua was thinking:

"How can I make Zhang Quan confess?"

I wonder if the formation can be used for torture...

Before Mo Hua could come up with anything, there was a commotion in Nanyue City two nights later.

The streets were crowded with people and fire.

There were also noisy shouts from monks and dense spiritual power fluctuations.

Mo Hua heard the noise, but he was catching zombies in his sea of ​​consciousness at that time and couldn't be distracted, so he ignored it.

The next day Situ Fang came.

She was injured and looked haggard.

Mo Hua asked with concern: "Sister Situ, what happened?"

Situ Fang regretted: "Zhang Quan is dead."

Mo Hua was stunned, "Dead?"

Situ Fang sighed, "Last night at midnight, a monk broke into the prison, wearing black clothes and acting covertly. When Dao Tingsi noticed it, it was too late..."

Dao Tingsi was indeed unprepared.

But the most important thing is that they didn't expect that someone would be so bold as to rob Dao Tingsi's prison.

This is disobeying Dao Ting.

If it is found out, they will be punished and implicated!

Mo Hua also looked a little solemn and asked:

"Did they rob the prison to save Zhang Quan?"

Situ Fang nodded.

Mo Hua was puzzled: "Since it was to save Zhang Quan, why did Zhang Quan die?"

Situ Fang said: "At that time, the battle was chaotic. I don't know who stabbed Zhang Quan to death with a sword, and then set fire to it, burning half of the Daoyu Prison, including Zhang Quan's body..."

Mo Hua frowned, "The man who stabbed Zhang Quan to death with a sword... must be a foundation-building cultivator."

"Yes." Situ Fang also frowned, "There are foundation-building cultivators in the prison break, there are foundation-building cultivators in the Daoting Division, and there are foundation-building cultivators from other sects and families. When they heard that there was chaos in the Daoting Division, there were also foundation-building cultivators coming to help..."

"In the chaos, no one knew who killed Zhang Quan and who set the fire."

"This matter... is a bit strange." Mo Hua thought.

Situ Fang nodded, "I suspect that the prison break was fake, and the murder was real."

"What happened to those monks who broke into the prison?" Mo Hua asked.

Situ Fang said helplessly: "All dead too."

Mo Hua opened his mouth, a little surprised, "All dead?"

"Yes."

"Really... not a single one was left alive?"

"Yes." Situ Fang sighed helplessly, "Even these dead robbers may not be real robbers."

"What about their identities?"

"Still investigating, but may not find anything."

Mo Hua frowned and muttered: "Actually, all dead..."

"Then the Dao Ting Division should be responsible for this matter." Mo Hua asked again.

Prison robbery should be thoroughly investigated.

Situ Fang thought about it, but shook his head:

"It's hard to say..."

Sure enough, two days later, the matter was left unresolved again.

Situ Fang found Mo Hua, looking a little angry and helpless.

Mo Hua also learned the result of the incident from Situ Fang.

The document submitted by the Nanyue City Money Department to the court reads:

"On the first day of April in the 2025th year of the Dao calendar...

An unknown black-robed monk robbed a prisoner, and was suppressed by the Dao Ting Department with thunder and lightning. The prisoner Zhang Quan was killed, and all the robbers were killed.

The Dao prison was damaged to a small extent, and one prisoner was killed and ten injured... Two thousand eight hundred and thirty-six spirit stones are needed as compensation..."

Although the prison was robbed, all the robbers died, and the prisoners died too.

Although the Dao Ting Department paid some price, it maintained the face of the Dao Ting.

Mostly, the merits and demerits offset each other.

Even if they were to investigate, there was no way to investigate, because they were all dead...

At most, they would receive some light reprimands.

Mo Hua was a little shocked.

This is really bold and careful.

Even though he did such a brazen thing as robbing the prison, he could give an explanation to both the superiors and the subordinates.

In the end, the big things turned into small things, and the small things turned into nothing...

Mo Hua showed an intriguing look.

The big fish behind the scenes surfaced.

But it bit the hook, ate the bait, broke the line, and swam away again...
