Chapter 467 Bad Things
Mo Hua followed Lu Chengyun to the Lu family.
Lu Chengyun treated Mo Hua very well, considerate and attentive, but he did not allow Mo Hua to leave the Lu family. In addition, there were various restrictions, which was equivalent to "house arrest".
Mo Hua found Lu Chengyun and said that she wanted to go home:
"I will be back soon. Tell my junior brothers and sisters so that they don't worry."
Lu Chengyun took out a pen and paper, "No need to be so troublesome. The young master will write a letter and I will have someone send it over."
Mo Hua waved his hands repeatedly, "My senior brothers and sisters may not believe a letter, so I'd better go back in person."
Lu Chengyun shook his head:
"The young master has a lot of ideas and I have to be on guard. Just write a letter."
Mo Hua muttered He muttered, "Is the head of the Lu family too cautious..."
"Be more cautious." Lu Chengyun looked at Mo Hua and smiled slowly:
"This time I set up the development array and mobilized several foundation-building elders, so that I could invite the young master..."
"If the young master went back and made preparations, I might not be able to find you, let alone invite you."
Mo Hua was helpless: "Okay, I'll just write a letter."
Mo Hua picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi on the Lu family's letterhead.
The letter didn't say much, just saying that he was invited by the head of the Lu family to stay at the Lu family for a while, and asked them not to worry, eat three meals a day on time, but they had to cook their own meals.
Mo Hua didn't mention Mr. Zhuang.
Because he found that Lu Chengyun didn't seem to realize that the three of them were traveling with their master.
Mo Hua even speculated that in Lu Chengyun's cognition, it was very likely that there was no such person as Mr. Zhuang.
This kind of thing is a bit unbelievable, but it seems that the master can do it...
After the letter was written, it was handed to Lu Chengyun.
Lu Chengyun didn't even look at it, and called the servants to tell them to deliver the letter to Mo Hua's cave.
It seemed that as long as Mo Hua was kept, it didn't matter what Mo Hua wrote in the letter.
After that, Mo Hua stayed at the Lu family for a few days.
Lu Chengyun treated Mo Hua with good food and drink.
Even the maids who served him were young and beautiful.
At some dinners of the Lu family, Mo Hua would sit next to Lu Chengyun.
At the banquet, some women of the Lu family, dressed up, with heavy makeup, each with their own merits, looked at Mo Hua with sparkling eyes.
Mo Hua also looked back at them openly.
After looking around, Mo Hua silently compared them in her heart and felt that none of them were as pretty as her little sister, and then she lost interest and started eating by herself.
To be honest, the food at the Lu family is still very good.
However, when I think of these delicacies, which were obtained by the miners at the cost of their lives for the Lu family to enjoy, Mo Hua found them tasteless.
Even when eating cooked meat, he could still smell blood.
A few days later, one night, Lu Chengyun found Mo Hua. His figure was hidden in the night, and his mood could not be seen clearly. His tone was also light:
"Young sir, I will take you to a place."
Mo Hua couldn't help asking:
"Where?"
Lu Chengyun smiled, but it seemed that he didn't smile at all, "A place you want to go."
Mo Hua was a little confused, but still went out with Lu Chengyun.
Lu Chengyun was in front, and Mo Hua followed him. There were also two foundation-building elders following behind Mo Hua.
Mo Hua still remembered these two foundation-building elders.
In their hands, they had compass spirit tools for detection and concealment.
The group left the Lu family, went out of Nanyue City, and came to the Lu family's mine.
It was the mine where the five miners died tragically at the beginning.
It was also the mine where the night was dark and violent.
It was also the mine where the Lu family had strict defenses and Mo Hua wanted to sneak into it a few days ago, but couldn't.
If Mo Hua guessed correctly.
There are zombies hidden in this mine.
All of Lu Chengyun's conspiracies and calculations are also hidden in this mine.
Of course, there is also a complete Lingshu formation diagram, which must also exist in this mine.
The mine is still guarded by Lu family cultivators.
Lu Chengyun came to the gate of the mine, but did not go in. Instead, he took Mo Hua and walked around the periphery of the mine. Finally, he came to a desolate place and stopped at a huge rock.
It was already late at night.
The mountain was dark and eerie, and the cold mountain wind was blowing.
The huge rock stood solemnly, exuding a cold corpse aura.
Mo Hua was startled.
Could this huge stone be the gate?
Mo Hua looked around and frowned. This huge stone was natural and had no traces of chiseling. It didn't look like a gate.
He released his spiritual sense to spy again.
There was no illusion array nearby.
At this moment, Lu Chengyun took out a strange bell. The bell was pitch black, like wood but not wood, like iron but not iron.
He shook it gently, and the sound of the bell was low, not as crisp as metal, but dull, like the beating of a dead person's heart.
The bell rang, and after a moment, the boulder trembled.
Mo Hua was shocked.
This boulder seemed to be lifted up by someone with great power, revealing a deep mountain path behind it.
Behind the mountain path, the corpse gas was even heavier and thicker.
Lu Chengyun glanced at the shocked Mo Hua, smiled slightly, and said gently:
"Young sir, please."
Mo Hua came to his senses, nodded, and followed Lu Chengyun into the depths of the darkness.
The stinking corpse gas made Mo Hua dizzy and suffocated for a moment.
After a moment, the strong smell dissipated, and the front suddenly became clear.
Mo Hua looked closely and looked even more shocked.
Behind this boulder was a mine.
But this mine was a mine for the dead.
In the mine, there were coffins everywhere, and it was dead.
Mo Hua turned around and looked at the cave entrance again.
This natural boulder is the gate. A thick chain is fixed on the stone, and the chain is coiled and extended to an iron turntable.
There are two tall iron corpses at the iron turntable.
Just now, these two iron corpses were controlled by the black corpse control bell, pushing the iron turntable, driving the chain, and lifting the boulder gate.
Mo Hua frowned.
This boulder is huge and heavy. These two tall iron corpses can push the turntable and lift the door. The force must be great and the lethality is also very strong.
But such two powerful iron corpses were used by Lu Chengyun to open the door.
In the end, it was because there were so many iron corpses in this corpse mine that they did not lack these two combat forces.
Or because this gate was extremely important.
Inside the gate was a forbidden area that could not be discovered by outsiders at all, let alone trespassing.
After several people entered the mine, Lu Chengyun shook the bell again.
The two iron corpses, driven by it, began to reverse the roulette wheel.
Behind Mo Hua, accompanied by the creaking sound of iron chains, the huge stone door slowly fell again, completely isolating the inside and outside.
Even the cold moonlight could not find this dead corpse mine.
Mo Hua was also left in this closed and dead mine.
An elder of the Lu family lit a lantern.
In the dark mine, there was a little yellow light.
The light of the lantern illuminated Lu Chengyun's face, making it dim and uncertain.
He looked at Mo Hua, his eyes were filled with strange ambition, and his voice was filled with suppressed excitement:
"Young Master, this mine is the hard work of Mr. Lu, and it is also the great cause of my Lu family!"
Mo Hua was shocked, but still frowned and asked:
"Master Lu, what exactly do you want me to do for you?"
"No hurry," Lu Chengyun smiled calmly, "Before that, let's meet an old friend first."
"Old friend?"
The elder of the Lu family, holding a lantern, led the way.
Mo Hua followed Lu Chengyun and walked slowly forward in the dark mine.
All the way to a cave.
There was a door in the cave, and layers of formations were engraved on the door. The formation patterns were not clear, but under the reflection of the light, they showed a faint blood color.
Mo Hua knew that this was an evil formation.
Lu Chengyun took out the stone talisman, inserted it into the lock, and unlocked the formation.
The elder of the Lu family pushed open the stone door, and everyone entered the cave.
The cave was much brighter, with many stone chambers painted with bright fire arrays.
There were also some monks in the stone chambers, wearing gray clothes, pale faces, and with corpse qi on their bodies. They seemed to be corpse cultivators.
When these corpse cultivators saw Lu Chengyun, they bowed their heads and saluted.
Lu Chengyun nodded slightly, and walked with Mo Hua to a hall inside.
In the middle of the hall, there was a stone table, but it was carved more delicately.
The furnishings around were complete and quite exquisite, with skulls, bones, and coffin nails, revealing a gloomy and dead beauty.
The hall was gloomy, with coffins around, and a monk sitting in the middle, with a thin body and scars all over his body. It was obvious that he was seriously injured and had not recovered, and his face was gloomy and pale.
It was Zhang Quan.
He was indeed an "old friend" of Mo Hua.
Mo Hua thought to himself: "Sure enough."
Zhang Quan is not dead!
The centipede is dead but not stiff.
Mo Hua felt that Zhang Quan would not die so easily.
Moreover, the Zhang family had a legacy of being proficient in corpse refining for generations, and for Lu Chengyun, he was also a rare "talent".
Lu Chengyun would not let him die so easily.
When Zhang Quan saw Lu Chengyun, he stood up and saluted with a respectful attitude.
After the salute, Zhang Quan was about to say something.
The fire in the hall flashed, and he glanced hurriedly, and suddenly saw the small Mo Hua next to Lu Chengyun.
He thought he had seen it wrong.
Zhang Quan blinked, and when he recognized Mo Hua's little face, he was so angry that his eyes popped out.
He pointed at Mo Hua, his hands trembling, "Master Lu, this..."
Lu Chengyun introduced him:
"This young gentleman is an extraordinary array master, his surname is Mo and his name is Hua."
Zhang Quan didn't need an introduction.
Mo Hua's eyebrows, as well as his every frown and smile, were like branding iron, branded in his sea of consciousness. Whenever he thought of it, he felt a kind of resentment and pain like being branded.
His only wish in the first half of his life was to refine a peerless zombie.
In the second half of his life, he wanted to let this zombie eat Mo Hua.
Zhang Quan had been hiding here for a long time, thinking about killing Mo Hua every day.
But he never expected that he would see Mo Hua alive and kicking in this corpse mine.
Zhang Quan couldn't help it, glared at him, and wanted to kill Mo Hua immediately.
Sensing Zhang Quan's murderous intention, Mo Hua immediately hid behind Lu Chengyun, stretched out his little head, and stuck out his tongue at Zhang Quan.
Zhang Quan almost fainted again.
He lost his mind, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped Mo Hua with one palm.
The palm power was strong, and the spiritual power was condensed, wanting to kill Mo Hua.
But the palm was stopped by Lu Chengyun halfway.
"Brother Zhang, don't be impulsive."
Lu Chengyun looked gentle and spoke coldly.
Zhang Quan was afraid and calmed down, but his anger faded slightly and he said sternly:
"Master, this kid..."
Lu Chengyun said lightly: "I know you have grievances, but that's all in the past..."
Zhang Quan couldn't believe it: "Why?"
Lu Chengyun said slowly:
"Because our great cause needs the help of Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao Mo is our guest now, so he must not be offended."
Mo Hua also nodded and said:
"That's right! That's right!"
Zhang Quan was furious, but he could do nothing about it.
He glanced at Lu Chengyun, who looked cold, and his eyes were restrained. Finally, his face turned red and white, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, I can let it go!"
After Zhang Quan finished speaking, he pointed at Mo Hua and said:
"But he has to return the things he stole from me!"
Mo Hua was still pretending to be stupid, "I don't remember stealing your things."
Zhang Quan was so angry that his teeth itched, "The altar!"
"Oh." Mo Hua blinked, "Those things are yours. I saw no one wanted them, so I took them. Even if they are garbage, they can't be wasted."
Zhang Quan's breath was stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.
Lu Chengyun was helpless, "Young sir, don't make him angry."
Mo Hua stopped talking.
Lu Chengyun sighed and said:
"It seems to be a misunderstanding. It is better to return the item to its original owner and let go of the past grudges. What do you think, young master?"
Mo Hua hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said to Zhang Quan:
"Okay, this is for the sake of Master Lu."
Mo Hua began to look through the storage bag, and found the corpse-controlling bell that was torn into pieces in the corner of the storage bag.
After the little sister took it apart, the corpse-controlling bell was not put back.
There was no good formation inside, so Mo Hua forgot about it.
Mo Hua fluttered these fragments of the corpse-controlling bells, held them in his hands, and scattered them on the table.
Zhang Quan was stunned.
"Is this... my corpse-controlling bell?"
The blood rope, the strange pattern, the bell body, the bell... were torn into pieces, just like being "dismembered".
Zhang Quan glared at Mo Hua and said, "Why did you tear it apart?" Mo Hua thought to himself, I didn't tear it apart, it was my junior sister who did it. But the junior sister's tearing seemed to be similar to his own. Mo Hua said, "I think it's fun, I'll tear it apart and study it..." Zhang Quan's scalp was numb. After a long time, he recovered and said word by word, "And... my ancestor's picture!" Lu Chengyun's expression froze when he heard it, and his eyes were slightly greedy. Mo Hua was a little reluctant, but he also knew that he couldn't lose the big picture for the small, so he reluctantly took out the ancestor's picture. Zhang Quan felt guilty and ecstatic. He felt guilty that he had lost his ancestor and humiliated his ancestors due to his negligence. He was ecstatic that now that he had recovered it, he could finally comfort the spirit of his ancestor in heaven. Zhang Quan immediately snatched the ancestor's picture, opened it, and smiled widely. That's right, it's his own ancestor's picture.
But as he looked at it, the smile on his face froze.
No...
Why does it seem like there are fewer people in this picture?
Where are the people?
Where did they go?
Zhang Quan looked at Mo Hua in disbelief, "Where are the ancestors of my Zhang family?"
Mo Hua pointed at the picture in his hand, "Aren't they staying in the picture?"
Zhang Quan said angrily, "Why are there fewer people?"
Mo Hua pouted, "How should I know?"
Zhang Quan said hatefully, "The picture is in your hand, how could you not know?"
Mo Hua thought for a while and said, "Maybe he went to visit..."
Zhang Quan opened his mouth wide, "Visit...visit?"
"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded, as if it was a matter of course, "After staying for a long time, I want to walk around, isn't it normal?"
"However, the cultivation world is very dangerous. If you go there to visit, you may not be able to come back. It is possible that you will encounter danger or be eaten by some 'bad things'..."
