Asking about longevity

Mo Hua accepted the reward, but he couldn't leave Qianxuezhou, so he gave the reward to Cheng Mo and asked Cheng Mo to lead the team.

But Mo Hua didn't say what the reward was.

It wasn't until the night before departure that Mo Hua gathered everyone together and told them some things to note about the reward.

"This time the reward is to assist Dao Tingsi in encircling and suppressing a large number of demon cultivators in Qingping City!"

A large number of demon cultivators!

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

It's really a big job, no wonder there are such high merits.

The disciples were a little nervous, but they couldn't hide their excitement.

Although they were born in aristocratic families, they were young, not experienced in the world, and had been practicing hard. They were not bound by the interests of the aristocratic families. They still had the vision of "wielding swords in the world, eliminating demons and killing evil spirits".

They were upright and naturally repelled by evil and evil.

Before doing the reward, they also came into contact with some evil cultivators, but many of those evil cultivators had low inheritances, and although their methods were vicious, they were all small fights.

Unlike now, we have to compete with "a large number of demon cultivators".

Mo Hua continued: "This time, you just need to remember one thing..."

"Eliminate all evil?" Cheng Mo asked.

"No, save your life!"

All the disciples were stunned.

"Don't look down on demon cultivators!" Mo Hua looked solemn, "Demon cultivators are bad, but not stupid. Even if they are not as smart as you, and not as talented as you, they have rich experience in cultivation, do things by any means, and have a despicable and shameless heart..."

"If you fight with demon cultivators, once you are careless, you will suffer a great loss, and may even endanger your life!"

"Eliminate all evil, although it is a good thing, but you must also judge the situation and do it within your ability." Mo Hua sighed: "I want you to earn merits, not to let you die."

The disciples nodded one after another, "Little Senior Brother is still thoughtful."

They felt warm in their hearts.

"So," Mo Hua concluded, "we will work in groups of five, help each other, and focus on saving our lives."

"Let Dao Tingsi handle the direct confrontation with the demon cultivators."

"Everyone is only responsible for supporting from the outside and picking up the fish that slipped through the net."

"Remember, don't be greedy for merit, don't be reckless, don't fight to the death, don't fight against a strong enemy, and don't chase a desperate enemy."

"Everyone go safely and come back safely."

Mo Hua sighed again: "If you make any mistakes, the elders of the sect will blame me. If Dao Tingsi has any tasks in the future, I can't let you do it..."

Hearing this, the disciples immediately bowed and promised:

"We will be careful, please rest assured, little brother!"

Mo Hua nodded, and then reminded some trivial matters, such as "bring the protective spiritual weapon, wear armor and Taoist robes, and bring more healing pills to save lives..." and so on.

After that, taking advantage of the cover of night, Cheng Mo led the team of fifty people and set off.

Mo Hua waved at the gate and watched everyone go away.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the mountain was dark.

Taixu Mountain was hidden in the thick night.

A group of Taixu disciples followed the mountain path and left Taixu Gate, embarking on the first large-scale encirclement and suppression of demon cultivators in their lives.

Mo Hua sighed softly, feeling a little worried.

I don’t know if they will get into trouble when they go to Qingping City to suppress those demon cultivators who intend to destroy the family.

But with Uncle Gu in charge, it shouldn’t be a big problem.

And Mo Hua had calculated it before.

Although his method of calculation was still relatively immature and he couldn’t calculate too clear cause and effect, at least he didn’t sense the sign of "frightening".

In this way, this encirclement and suppression should not be too dangerous.

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, he couldn’t leave the state boundary, so he could only wait for news from Cheng Mo and the others, and he couldn’t rush.

And he also had other things to do.

Master Gu took advantage of Mo Hua’s ten-day break to send him a set of armor.

This is the armor specially customized according to Mo Hua's requirements, which is compatible with the Five Elements Source Array.

Mo Hua gave it a name:

Five Elements Source Armor.

Five Elements Strengthening Arrays are rare and extremely rare.

And the spiritual tools that can be adapted to them are also extremely rare, lacking a form that can be used for reference.

Mo Hua can only try to refine it step by step based on his own understanding of the array and Master Gu's opinions on refining tools.

This set of source armor is only the first edition, and Mo Hua is not sure whether it can be used.

It may require continuous testing and continuous improvement.

This is also within Mo Hua's expectations.

During the ten-day break, Mo Hua happened to be free, so he took some time to start testing the function of this set of Five Elements Source Armor.

He first drew a Five Elements Fire Source Array inside the armor.

Then he rented a Taoist magic room to test the power of spells.

In the Taoist magic room.

Mo Hua was wearing armor that was obviously one size larger. Although he looked serious, he looked a little funny.

There is no way, the armor is made according to the size of an adult, and it will definitely look too big for him.

However, the Taoist magic room is closed, and no one will see it.

Mo Hua wore the armor and began to cast the fireball spell on the magic puppet in the distance.

A red light flashed on the armor, covering Mo Hua's body.

Mo Hua pointed his finger, and a fireball whizzed out, leaving a sharp flame and hitting the magic puppet in the distance.

There was an explosion, and the flames raged.

The magic puppet was burned by the fire spirit power, leaving a black mark, and then gradually recovered under the effect of the formation.

The power of the fireball spell is not weak.

Mo Hua gradually frowned.

"No..."

The armor is useless.

He took off the armor again, disassembled it again, and carefully checked the formation.

The first-grade thirteen-pattern five-element fire source formation, Mo Hua was already familiar with it, and every stroke was accurate.

The formation was correct.

He compared the shape of the armor again.

Master Gu was a third-grade weapon refiner with rich experience and sophisticated skills. This set of external armor was also accurate.

There was no problem with the formation, and there was no problem with the armor.

But this set of five-element fire source armor did not work.

His spiritual power was not amplified, and the power of the fireball was not improved.

Mo Hua was confused.

What went wrong?

He memorized the entire armor spiritual weapon structure again, and then sorted out the path of spiritual power flow in the entire formation in his mind, and did not find any error.

Mo Hua thought hard, but nothing came to mind. He simply lay on the ground, crossed his legs, and pondered slowly.

This set of Five Elements Source Armor was made according to the structure of an ordinary spiritual weapon.

But ordinary spiritual weapons correspond to ordinary formations.

Absolute formations must be different.

Or at least, the Five Elements Absolute Formation is different.

"How did I draw the Five Elements Source Formation before?"

"Why does it work on the ground, but not on armor?"

Mo Hua recalled a little bit about how he had drawn the ground to form a formation and created the Five Elements Source Formation.

After comparing the two, he had some guesses in his mind.

Drawing the ground to form a formation, and the Five Elements Source Armor, except for the "formation medium" as a carrier, the only difference is the flow of the power of the formation.

Drawing the ground to form a formation, the Five Elements Absolute Formation is driven by divine thoughts, and divine thoughts and spiritual power merge and flow.

In the Five Elements Source Armor, the Five Elements Absolute Formation is purely driven by spiritual power, and it is simply the flow of spiritual power, lacking divine thoughts fusion.

Mo Hua remembered.

The essence of the Five Elements Source Array is to achieve "divine thought transformation" through the array to amplify the five elements of spiritual power.

The amplified part of spiritual power is not generated out of thin air, but is transformed from "mind power".

When thinking of this, Mo Hua's heart suddenly trembled.

The power of divine thought is transformed to amplify spiritual power...

The logic of the Five Elements Source Array is somewhat similar to the Shinto array.

Both contain the law of "divine thought transformation", but the final purpose of the transformation is different.

The Five Elements Source Array transforms into amplified spiritual power.

And the Shinto array transforms into "amplified" divine thoughts.

Mo Hua's eyes were shocked, as if he had been enlightened, and he felt that he seemed to have discovered something very important.

But when he thought about it carefully, he suddenly couldn't tell what he understood.

Perhaps it was because his current cultivation was still low and his knowledge was not enough, so he only had a little inspiration, but did not have a deep understanding...

Mo Hua nodded slowly.

Since he couldn't figure it out for the time being, he didn't bother to think about it, so he still focused on the Five Elements Source Armor.

The principle was understood, but it was very troublesome to solve it in practice.

This involves the fundamental rules of the flow of power in the spiritual weapon array and the array medium array.

After the array is activated, it is controlled by the divine mind.

After the spiritual weapon is activated, it operates automatically.

Simple arrays, such as those that Mo Hua drew before, those earth and fire arrays that are less than nine patterns and not of grade, are very simple to start.

Generally speaking, it is good to start with spiritual power.

Crush the spiritual stone and let the spiritual power flow into the array pattern, and the array will naturally flow.

But this is an array with a small number of patterns and a simple structure.

The later the array is, the more array patterns there are, the more complex the structure is, and the more complete the function is.

For example, complex arrays, large arrays, or single arrays above the second grade.

These arrays will have array eyes embedded in advance, charged with spiritual stones, and supply spiritual power.

It also contains a complex array pivot structure, which can be opened and controlled by divine consciousness, and can control the opening and closing, forward and reverse, and strong and suppressed of spiritual power.

Using divine consciousness to control the array requires a certain array foundation and relatively abundant divine consciousness.

But spiritual tools are different.

Spiritual tools are suitable for all cultivators, so the threshold is destined not to be too high.

And it cannot be complicated to use.

Spiritual tools can be used as long as there is spiritual power.

The array in the spiritual tool will operate automatically after the spiritual power is supplied, and no additional divine consciousness is required.

But the problem is that the five elements source array requires "divine thought conversion".

Drawing the ground as an array is the logic of the array, which can be controlled by divine consciousness.

Divine consciousness control can inject divine consciousness to convert spiritual power.

The five elements source armor is a spiritual tool.

The array in the spiritual tool cannot be controlled by divine consciousness, so naturally it cannot be injected with divine consciousness, cannot be "converted", cannot strengthen the five elements, and cannot increase spiritual power.

Mo Hua's head hurts a little.

Sure enough, it looks like a simple problem, but once it involves practical application, there will be a lot of unexpected problems.

In this way, the Five Elements Source Armor cannot be made into an "inner-sealed formation" structure like ordinary spiritual tools.

The formation of the Five Elements Source Armor must be "open source".

Only when the divine consciousness can intervene, the divine thoughts can be transformed, and the spiritual power can be amplified.

But this certainly does not meet the specifications of ordinary spiritual tools, and is more like a special "formation tool" between "spiritual tools" and "formation media".

Things are getting complicated...

However, this difficulty is not even a setback.

Mo Hua was mentally prepared, so he naturally did not feel discouraged, but was full of ambition.

After all, once this kind of "Five Elements Source Armor" is developed, it can be free from the restrictions of the venue and the formation, and the power of Taoism will be greatly improved.

With the Five Elements Source Armor amplification, even if the cultivation is slightly inferior, with proper strategy, it is enough to fight across levels.

Mo Hua is full of expectations.

"Let's do it step by step..."

Mo Hua thought about it, and could only go back and start from the refining diagram of the Five Elements Source Armor, trying to "open up" the formation sealed in the spiritual weapon and redesign the formation structure.

At the same time, he was also thinking about Qingping City.

He really wanted to send a letter to Uncle Gu to ask about the situation.

But he knew that the encirclement and suppression of demon cultivators was a matter of great importance, and Uncle Gu's letter must be "sealed".

Even if he asked, he would not be able to reply.

Anyway, the result will be known in two days.

Mo Hua patiently continued to study the Five Elements Source Armor, and within two days, Cheng Mo and the others came back.

Mo Hua counted the number of people and found that there were exactly fifty, not more or less, and he was completely relieved.

Cheng Mo and his friends all had some injuries, but they looked excited.

"Eleven people were slightly injured, two had broken arms, and one was stabbed by a sword, but they were not seriously injured."

"Take the pills and recuperate. They will be almost healed in a few days."

Cheng Mo reported to Mo Hua.

Mo Hua nodded with satisfaction, and then asked:

"What about those demon cultivators?"

Cheng Mo said: "Those demon cultivators, some died, some were captured, but there were quite a few of them, and some escaped after fighting for their lives."

"Do you know which family they want to destroy?"

Cheng Mo shook his head, "I don't know, as soon as they showed up, Gu Diansi ordered them to take action, and the demon cultivators they caught were also locked up in Daotingsi for strict interrogation."

"Gu Diansi looked serious, so I didn't dare to ask more..."

Mo Hua nodded and said: "Okay."

He looked at everyone again and reminded: "Don't spread this matter, otherwise it may cause trouble."

Everyone nodded. Cheng Mo also said: "Gu Diansi also ordered this." Then Mo Hua asked everyone to rest, "After the Daotingsi counts, the merits should be credited." The disciples smiled and bowed: "Thank you, little senior brother!" ... Mo Hua returned to the disciples' residence and sent a message to Gu Changhuai: "Uncle Gu, do you know which family the demon cultivators are going to destroy?" After waiting for a long time, Gu Changhuai did not reply. It seems that Uncle Gu is busy... Mo Hua said silently in his heart. The next day, Gu Changhuai still did not reply. Mo Hua was a little confused. On the third day, Gu Changhuai replied, "The whole family was wiped out."

Mo Hua was stunned, "What?"

Gu Changhuai sighed, "Someone... was wiped out."

Mo Hua's pupils shrank, "Didn't Qingping City defend? Isn't it Qingping City?"

Gu Changhuai said, "Yes..."

He was silent for a moment, and slowly said to Mo Hua, "This group of demon cultivators... They actually split into two groups and attacked at the same time. Qingping City is just one of them."

"We found Qingping City, mobilized manpower, and destroyed their plan, but overlooked another place..."

Mo Hua's eyes were solemn, "Where is the other place?"

Gu Changhuai said, "Yanshui River, Yu Family Water Village."

"Yu Family Water Village?" Mo Hua was a little confused.

Gu Changhuai nodded and said, "This is a remote water village near the Yanshui River, located on an isolated island, surrounded by water. The people living in the water village are all fishermen, but they are relatively closed and rarely interact with outsiders."

"The night before yesterday, the entire water village was slaughtered by the demon cultivators..."

"But no one knew about it at the first time. The next day, a fisherman passed by nearby in a boat and smelled the fishy odor and the strong smell of blood. He took a closer look and saw that the river surface outside the water village was dyed bright red by the blood. The fishermen in the entire water village were killed cleanly, leaving no one alive..."

Gu Changhuai sighed.

Mo Hua felt cold in his heart and asked, "Do you know who did it?"

Even if it is an external demon cultivator, he should have an identity.

Gu Changhuai said, "I'm still investigating. There should be news in the next few days, but there are no witnesses, so it may be difficult to track them down."

"What about the demon cultivators captured in Qingping City?" Mo Hua asked. "Although there are many demon cultivators, most of them are small minions. We tortured them, but we didn't get any useful clues." Mo Hua frowned. Gu Changhuai looked unhappy, but after thinking for a while, he said, "Don't worry about it. I will check it out. You should practice well." After that, Gu Changhuai ignored Mo Hua. Mo Hua's mood became more and more solemn. He had a strong premonition that the footsteps of the Great Desolate Evil God seemed to be getting closer and closer, and the secret plot was also accelerating... But, what is His plot? Resurrection? How to revive? Mo Hua frowned more and more. Moreover, the annihilation of Yujia Water Village, does it mean that an altar has been built in a secret and unknown place on the bank of Yanshui River? What is the origin of these demon cultivators who massacred Yujia Water Village? Who is the leader? Mo Hua sighed deeply. It's a pity that he couldn't go out at all, and he couldn't find out even if he wanted to. Mo Hua suppressed his chaotic thoughts and wanted to draw a few formations to calm down.

But as he was drawing, Mo Hua suddenly felt a tremor in his heart.

Then, as if possessed by a ghost, he took out a jade slip from his storage bag.

This jade slip is the list of Jiang Lao Da.

Now, most of the names of the sinners on the list have faded.

Even the name of Fire Buddha, which was burning with fire and bloody consequences, has faded.

This list is no longer useful.

But Mo Hua always felt that there was still some cause and effect that had not been resolved.

And just now, it seemed that some cause and effect had changed...

What could it be?

Mo Hua stared at the list for a long time, but he still didn't find any clues.

Just when Mo Hua wanted to throw the list aside, he was suddenly startled, and then his expression was slightly condensed.

His eyes suddenly became deep, and the three colors of Tianji pattern, Wei Dao pattern, and Shen Dao light gold blended.

Looking at it this way, the jade slip has indeed changed.

The name of Fire Buddha was completely dim.

Then everything in front of him was blurred, and the cause and effect changed.

The sea of ​​fire receded, and the tide rose sharply.

The tide was blue at first, and then it was like blood irrigating, dyed half blue and half red, like a sea of ​​blood.

The sea of ​​blood annihilated the sea of ​​fire.

In the jade slip, the three words "Fire Buddha" were erased, and gradually another evil name with blood and evil consequences appeared:

Water Yama.
