Asking about longevity

Mo Hua's pupils shrank.

This is... the scene when the Xie family was wiped out?

Is it the soul memory left here after the monks of the Xie family were massacred and burned, and died in pain and misery?

Is it the spiritual thought of the remnant soul?

In broad daylight, there was a sea of ​​fire in front of us.

Mo Hua endured the discomfort and looked intently, wanting to see this cruel "slaughter" to the end...

He wanted to know what happened to the Xie family...

The slaughter of blood and fire is still continuing.

The demonic sin cultivator raised the butcher knife with a ferocious smile, and chopped the Xie family monks to death one by one like slaughtering pigs and cattle.

After the Xie family monks were killed, the bodies were gathered together...

But somewhere, something seemed to be moving.

The scene after that suddenly became blurry.

The blood color suddenly became intense, and the sea of ​​fire spread, covering everything in front of him.

The screams and wails in my ears were also intermittent, as if they were being torn apart.

It seems that what happens next is taboo.

There is some kind of existence that covers up the cause and effect, preventing Mo Hua from seeing what happened after the massacre...

Mo Hua frowned, his pupils were dark, and he was possessed by evil thoughts. He used divine calculations and continued to peek.

As if sensing Mo Hua's prying eyes, the sea of ​​fire suddenly surged. The flames were as scarlet as blood, rising in the wind, enveloping the massacred people and those who died tragically, blocking Mo Hua's sight.

Mo Hua ignored it and continued to look.

The sea of ​​​​fire suddenly boiled.

The flames spread like snakes, splaying their teeth and claws at the ink painting, as if in demonstration.

But they did not offend the ink paintings without permission.

And Mo Hua has no ability to "see through" this sea of ​​fire.

Mo Hua sighed, knowing that this was the power to conceal cause and effect. It was too powerful, and the power of his own calculations was simply not enough.

Therefore, the line of sight cannot penetrate the appearance of the sea of ​​fire and see the real cause and effect.

My method of "divine calculation" was based on my master's teachings, and I tried and fumbled it out blindly.

The Calculation Formation is okay, but the Calculation Secret is very stretched and inferior.

After all, the master has never formally taught me the true calculation of heavenly secrets.

In other words, I haven’t had time to formally teach myself...

A gentle and doting face came to mind again...

Mo Hua felt a little pain in his heart.

And soon, the sea of ​​​​fire subsided.

Mo Hua's vision became clearer.

He saw that the ferocious sin cultivators such as the Fire Buddha had disappeared.

All the monks of the Xie family have also disappeared, as if everything from flesh and blood to spiritual consciousness has been completely "evaporated".

Mo Hua frowned in confusion.

At this moment, Mo Hua was frightened.

Cause and effect seemed to be confused for a moment.

A trace of evil suddenly occurred, and the scene suddenly changed.

On the ground, strange shadows overlapped and reappeared. The Xie family monks who had been "dismembered" and died tragically were densely packed and stacked up to hundreds.

They are like firewood that has been burned, leaving only ashes.

Like an animal that has been slaughtered and drained of blood.

They seemed to have been drained of everything.

Just throw it away, no one cares.

Soon, the evil aura intensified, and a twisted aura rippled...

When these Xie family corpses moved, they seemed to be full of unwillingness, struggling, ferocious, and strangely stood up again.

At the same time, their limbs began to deform.

What were originally human "hands and feet" gradually turned into cow's forelimbs and horse's hooves, like inhuman "livestock"...

And they have also become a kind of monstrous and sinful "evil" creature.

They are "dead" but live in the form of "evil".

They are no longer human, but seem to "eat" humans...

"demon?!"

Mo Hua was frightened in his heart.

Those grotesque monsters that coveted Yu'er and caused her to suffer nightmares came to mind again...

Mo Hua looked at it carefully, compared it silently in his mind, and then focused his eyes.

"no……"

The two seem similar, but they are not the same thing.

The monsters in Yu'er's nightmare are the minions of evil spirits and the embodiment of evil thoughts.

Its existence itself is a kind of "thought body".

The "animal" transformation of these Xie family monks in front of them is more similar to the mutation of heaven and the evil transformation of cause and effect.

More like...

Evil? !

Mo Hua felt a chill in his heart and his eyes were heavy.

He can feel it...

Although the signs of evil change are very weak and the scale is very small, everything in front of us is indeed a sign of "the evil change of the great road".

Just when Mo Hua was frowning and thinking, these half-human, half-animal "demon" who had undergone evil transformation suddenly looked at Mo Hua with blood-red eyes.

They die with hatred, wanting to choose people to devour.

And ink painting is the only "person" at this level of cause and effect.

These "demon" twisted and struggled, stood up, and then looked at the ink painting one after another with ferocious eyes.

Mo Hua stood there with a calm expression.

In an instant, murderous intent surged.

These "demon" roared, roared, used their hands and feet at the same time, opened their bloody mouths, and rushed towards the ink painting.

Mo Hua looked at them silently, with a hint of compassion in his expression.

At the same time, behind Mo Hua, a sea of ​​blood rose.

A mountain of corpses suddenly appeared.

The mountains and plains are filled with ferocious walking corpses.

A tall and majestic evil corpse king, with scarlet eyes and a terrifying aura, reigns over countless corpses.

The demons that had turned into inhuman beings and wanted to devour the ink paintings stopped in fear.

The corpse king looked coldly.

In its eyes, these monsters with only a few signs of evil and only a few hundred in number are nothing more than a group of ants.

After a moment, the Corpse King looked up to the sky and roared.

Countless corpses boiled and hundreds of monsters were frightened.

Then the sky was stained with blood, and the walking corpses all over the mountains rushed directly down, like a raging torrent. With just one encounter, these "evil" monsters were completely swept to pieces and killed.

This hint of evil change in the Xie family was also completely wiped out.

But after killing the evil "demon", the corpses became ferocious and roared to the sky, filled with murderous intent.

The sea of ​​blood on the corpse mountain became scarleter.

The aura of evil is getting stronger and deeper.

Under the sea of ​​blood covering the sky, the aura of the Corpse King became more and more violent.

Its ferocious eyes were getting redder and redder, and there were faint signs of breaking free from its restraints and becoming further evil.

At this moment, a clear but unquestionable command sounded.

"Back off!"

The originally restless mountain of corpses suddenly became quiet.

The corpses all bowed their heads, not daring to make a sound.

The corpse king's crimson eyes were soaked with bone-chilling murderous intent, surging with violent ferocity. He stared at the ink painting, staring at himself, the nominal "little master", and wanted to kill him quickly.

Mo Hua's eyes were indifferent and he looked at the Corpse King.

This gaze was crystal clear and contained the irresistible majesty of the "superior".

The meaning in his eyes seemed to be, "Don't make me say it a second time."

The corpse king touched the ink painting and became furious instantly.

It just wanted to resist, but the mark imprinted deep in its body suddenly hurt again. On its body, the light blue spiritual axis formation pattern was like the law of the great road, the chain of cause and effect, tightly entangled it.

The Corpse King was frightened and had no choice but to give up.

Its eyes still showed ferocity and unruliness, but its body honestly "surrendered" again.

The sea of ​​​​blood closes, the zombies return to their nests, and the mountain of corpses gradually disappears.

Only the Corpse King, before disappearing, still glanced at Mo Hua with terrifying and sharp eyes...

As if to say: "I will come back..."

After that, the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood completely receded, and the sins of cause and effect disappeared.

Any evil deeds committed by the Xie family were also wiped out and disappeared.

The raging sea of ​​​​fire gradually extinguished...

Mo Hua only felt that his eyes were hazy again. After the red color of fire and blood faded away, it was replaced by the dazzling sunlight of the day, which made people feel trance-like and couldn't open their eyes...

…

"Ink painting?"

"Ink painting!"

There was a rush of sound.

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, then slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying next to Gu Changhuai.

Gu Changhuai frowned and kept calling his name.

Seeing that Mo Hua woke up, he breathed a sigh of relief.

If something really happened to this child, he would have no choice but to go back and explain it to his cousin and Yu'er.

But then he had doubts again.

The scene just now is still vivid in my mind.

As soon as Mo Hua entered the exterminated Xie family, his expression was shocked and his face turned pale. Then his eyes lost focus and he fainted as soon as he closed them.

It seems like... I saw something I shouldn't have seen...

What's even weirder is that after Mo Hua fainted, the atmosphere of the entire Xie family suddenly became gloomy and depressing.

It seems that something terrible is gradually changing...

Evil spirits are growing.

Under the blue sky and white sun, there was a bone-chilling chill.

Even Gu Changhuai, who was in the Jindan realm, felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and felt panic in his heart.

And when Mo Hua opened his eyes, everything disappeared again...

Gu Changhuai looked at the ink painting and asked solemnly:

"In the end what happened?"

Mo Hua rubbed his eyes and slowly sat up. At the same time, he quickly recalled the cause and effect of the matter in his mind.

Sea of ​​fire...Xie family...massacre...

A mystery that cannot be seen clearly, shrouded in a sea of ​​fire...

Signs of evil on the road...

It seems that none of these can be said.

Once you say it, you will get yourself into big trouble.

Especially the matter of "Dao evil", which is Tao Ting's taboo...

Mo Hua thought for a while and said:

"I studied the formations too hard, drew too much, and consumed my spiritual consciousness too much, so I occasionally fainted. I'll be fine after a while..."

When Gu Changhuai heard this, he knew that Mo Hua was talking nonsense.

He was still full of energy before, his eyes were vivid and flickering. How could he suddenly faint because of excessive consumption of his consciousness?

This kid must have something he doesn't want to say...

Gu Changhuai took a deep look at Mo Hua and asked:

"Then the Xie family, do you still want to see it?"

Mo Hua nodded, "I want to see."

Gu Changhuai nodded and didn't say anything. Instead, he took the ink painting and spent an hour walking around the ruined and scorched Xie family.

The entire Xie family was burned to the ground.

Everything was turned into ashes.

After walking around for a whole time, Mo Hua found nothing unusual.

Occasionally, I found some clues, but Gu Changhuai already knew these things.

Gu Changhuai has profound cultivation, rich experience, keen observation, and intuition as a judge.

Except for some "unbelievable", elusive, and mysterious things about cause and effect, Gu Changhuai must have noticed it long ago if Mo Hua could discover it.

Gu Changhuai can also see some things that cannot be seen in ink paintings.

Gu Changhuai is still extremely professional when it comes to investigating and handling cases.

Mo Hua followed Gu Changhuai and took a general tour of the Xie family, looking everywhere.

Fire Buddha and others have very "clean" hands and feet.

The Xie family was burned to a scorched earth from time to time, leaving no unnecessary traces.

Apart from the scene in the sea of ​​fire he saw, there really were no other clues.

The ink painting is a bit regretful.

Gu Changhuai was not surprised to see Mo Hua's disappointed look.

Daotingsi searched Xie's house many times inside and out. If there was anything, it would have been discovered long ago.

It is impossible to wait for the ink painting to see anything.

"Let's go back……"

Gu Changhuai said calmly.

He wanted to take the ink painting back home and hand it over to his cousin safely, which would save him trouble.

In order to avoid any complications and accidents when running around with this kid.

Just like that...

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded.

He didn't find anything, so he had to go back first.

Just when he turned to leave, Mo Hua was suddenly startled, turned his head and looked at the ruins of Xie's house again, his brows gradually furrowed.

Gu Changhuai was a little surprised and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mo Hua considered it for a moment and said slowly: "Uncle Gu, do you have the architectural drawings of the Xie family's monastery?"

Gu Changhuai nodded and said, "Yes."

"Can you show it to me?" Mo Hua said.

Gu Changhuai's eyes darkened, "What are you going to do?"

Mo Hua said: "I'll find a place..."

"Looking for a place?"

Gu Changhuai frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded without asking any more questions:

"OK."

Gu Changhuai found a slightly cleaner place, took out a picture from his storage bag, spread it on the ground, and said to the ink painting:

"This is the architectural plan of the Xie family's mansion..."

The map shows the terrain, architecture, and formations used in the Xie family's mansion, etc...

This kind of picture is very familiar with ink painting.

Little by little, he concentrated on rummaging through the architectural drawings...

In the scene of the sea of ​​​​fire that just emerged, after the fire Buddha killed the people, he gathered the bodies of the Xie family monks together.

The key scene after that was shrouded in a sea of ​​fire, covering the cause and effect, and could not be seen in the ink painting.

But although he couldn't see the secret hidden under the fire, he didn't know what the Fire Buddha did after killing people in the fire.

But he vaguely remembered the scene nearby.

These scenes are obviously within the Xie family.

But he just walked around and didn't find anything similar to his memory.

"There must be a place that I have overlooked..."

Ink painting was drawn in his mind, recalling the scene in the sea of ​​fire over and over again, and then comparing it with the Xie family's map to find similar places.

Finally, Mo Hua's eyes lit up.

On the architectural plan, there is a hidden attic in the corner of Xie's backyard. There is a relatively open space in front of the attic, with side rooms and pots and tripods for planting flowers around it.

The entire layout and furnishings are very consistent with the scene in my memory.

Mo Hua stretched out his hand and pointed to the attic courtyard on the map, "Uncle Gu, let's go here and have a look."

Gu Changhuai glanced at Mo Hua in surprise and nodded slightly.

Then the two of them followed the diagram and followed the unrecognizable road, stepping on ashes all the way, to the attic.

The surroundings of the attic collapsed, and the burned wooden beam walls fell down, blocking the road.

So Mo Hua hadn't discovered it before.

Gu Changhuai took out a paper fan, waved it casually, and a surge of spiritual power surged, clearing the way.

Mo Hua continued walking inside and walked to the courtyard in front of the attic.

This place is located in a corner, secluded and secluded.

The attic was also burned, and it appeared that the fire was stronger here and that less structural debris remained.

The courtyard was deserted, and it was still charred and black, just like other places.

The two searched and found no clues.

Gu Changhuai looked back at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua frowned and pondered for a long time.

"There are no traces..."

"It shouldn't be..."

Mo Hua let go of his consciousness, and there was also nothingness in the white space. There was only the fire spiritual power remaining in the ruins, and there was nothing special about it.

"No?"

Mo Hua frowned even more tightly. Suddenly he was stunned and couldn't help but sniff his nose.

"Uncle Gu, do you smell anything?"

"Smell?" Gu Changhuai also sniffed lightly, frowned and said, "Smells burnt?"

"no……"

Mo Hua said, then he sniffed again and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Very light..."

"It's refreshing, but has a bit of an odor. It seems a little sticky and very moist..."

Gu Changhuai on the side was speechless and frowned:

"Are you sure you're talking about the smell you smell with your nose, not the taste you taste in your mouth?"

"The...taste hidden in your mouth?"

Mo Hua was stunned and suddenly startled.

He remembered!

This is……

The taste of golden bone marrow? !

The ram's horn enshrines...the essence of divine thoughts!

Is this... the breath of the evil god? !

Mo Hua perked up, raised his nose, sniffed again, and then followed the "smell" of his spiritual thoughts to find a corner of the courtyard.

Mo Hua sniffed again, then turned over it, and pulled out a pile of blackened residue from the corner.

Gu Changhuai stepped forward and looked at it, smelled it, and even looked at it with his spiritual consciousness. In the end, he looked a little disappointed:

"Ordinary scraps, nothing special."

"I just don't know what burned it..."

Mo Hua shook his head with a solemn look on his face, "This is not ordinary!"

He was on it and smelled the smell of "evil god".

But he didn't know what this black residue was.

He couldn't tell either.

But these things are definitely extraordinary.

This is the truth covered by the fire, the remains left behind by some unknown existence after covering up the cause and effect.

It's very possible that there are amazing secrets hidden inside.

Gu Changhuai couldn't help but pay attention when he saw that the ink painting, which had always been innocent and sly eyes, showed a very rare solemn look.

He took out a storage bag, divided the residue into two parts, and sealed them carefully.

"I'll take it back and ask the Daotingsi inspector to find out what kind of residue these residues are..."

Is it a spiritual weapon, spiritual object, elixir, or...

Human flesh and blood.

Mo Hua nodded and asked again: "If it is found out..."

Gu Changhuai sighed, "I've found it out, I'll tell you."

"Um."

Mo Hua raised his head and looked at the Xie family who had been incinerated and exterminated.

The whole family was slaughtered, and the corpses were destroyed.

Causal masking.

Traces of evil.

besides……

The aura of the evil god on the dark residue...

Mo Hua frowned.

He originally thought that this was just an inhumane evil act committed by a group of sinners led by the Fire Buddha.

But now it seems that the water inside may be very deep...

…
