Asking about longevity

Mo Hua was a little surprised, "Do you still remember me?"

Jia Ren's eyes were filled with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"You little brat who was stabbed a thousand times and turned into ashes, I recognize you..."

Gu Changhuai on the side was also a little surprised and asked Mo Hua:

"What did you do to him? Why does he hate you so much?"

This Jia Ren, who originally looked like a piece of meat on a hob and looked indifferent to life and death, how come after seeing the ink painting, he felt as if he had rolled through a frying pan, and his whole body exploded...

Mo Hua frowned and said, "I don't know either..."

He thought about it:

"In that mission, it was Senior Sister Murong and Senior Brother Feng who arrested him. I just followed along and helped a little 'insignificant'. I don't know why he hates me so much..."

"I guess he bullied the weak and was afraid of the strong. He couldn't beat the senior brothers and sisters. He saw that I was young and had low cultivation, so he wanted to target me..."

Gu Changhuai looked unbelieving.

When Jia Ren heard this, he spit out a mouthful of blood, "You, you..."

But when he saw his "enemy", he was so angry that his head was spinning and he couldn't speak.

Mo Hua was no longer polite to him. He threw the "iron plate" on the ground and ordered:

"Kneel down..."

As soon as he said these words, Mo Hua was startled and suddenly remembered.

Isn't the first "victim" of this iron plate this "Jia Ren"?

At that time, he was still a big man.

It's a pity that at that time, I was not good at learning skills and the iron plate was rough.

So this Jia Ren, kneeling on the iron plate, still gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.

I asked him "does it hurt?", and he looked at me like he was now, with eyes burning, but he didn't let go.

The ink painting left a deep impression.

Since then, Ink Painting has determined to "improve" the iron plate, optimizing iteratively one plate after another.

I hope that the criminal cultivators who kneel on the iron plate can "confesce and be lenient" and tell the truth.

And now, the opportunity has come again, the fate has arrived again...

Mo Hua's eyes lit up and he said to Jia Ren: "Hurry up and kneel down again..."

"This iron plate, since the last time you knelt down, I have changed the formation several times and improved it a lot..."

"Kneel down again now and see if there is any difference from the first time you knelt down?"

"How does it feel specifically?"

"Is there an urge to tell the truth?"

Mo Hua's tone was a little curious, a little naive, and a little sincere.

But there was no trace of ridicule.

But Jia Ren's eyes were already bloodshot.

Gu Changhuai sighed and immediately understood why Jia Ren hated Mo Hua so much.

As if he had revenge for killing his father, he wanted to eat Mo Hua alive.

He even understood.

This little brat can really piss people off sometimes.

However, Gu Changhuai was also curious about the effect of this "iron plate".

So he squeezed Jia Ren's shoulders, ignored his struggle, held Jia Ren down, and knelt on the "iron plate" painted in ink.

On the iron plate, the formation was activated instantly.

Mo Hua's formation improvement this time "returns to its original nature" does not incorporate the Bagua formation, but simply relies on the Five Elements formation and the five elements' cycle of generation and destruction to build a complex formation.

It is similar to the basic "killing array" principle in the Five Elements Demon Slaying Formation.

But on a much smaller scale.

And the purpose is not to "kill", but the cycle of the five elements, giving metal, wood, water, fire, earth, different spiritual power and pain.

Golden needle, wood poison, water torture, fire, earth suffocation.

The five elements deepen and pain circulates.

And in order to avoid the shortcomings of being easy to break if it is too strong and easy to faint if it is too painful, the pain of this Five Elements Punishment Formation will be milder.

Pay attention to using a blunt knife to cut meat.

First make a few cuts, and then slowly intensify the pain, wearing down the sin cultivator's will, making them lose their guard and confess...

Thinking of this, Mo Hua sighed.

He is obviously a good monk with a kind heart.

But these sin cultivators are each worse than the last, and each one is more harsh than the last.

Forced myself to have no choice but to study this torture formation.

I can't help myself...

Mo Hua sighed in his heart.

Then he immediately started to observe Jia Ren's reaction with bright eyes.

Jia Ren just knelt down. Although his face was angry, his expression was as usual, and there seemed to be a hint of disdain. He looked at the ink painting and snorted coldly.

As if to say, that's it?

Is this what you improved?

The more improved it is, the worse it gets.

But soon, his expression changed.

Because the pain gradually deepened, and the Five Elements Formation cycle, different levels, rich and delicate pain kept tormenting his physical body.

Little by little, it wore away his perseverance.

After a while, Jia Ren's face turned pale.

It's like drinking old wine.

It's soft on the palate, but extremely powerful in the aftertaste.

A jolting pain shot straight to his forehead.

Jia Ren's expression was distorted, and his whole body was shaking like a sieve.

But this pain was lingering on the edge of the limit, making him want to faint, but he couldn't. He could only indulge in the sea of ​​pain and struggle...

Gu Changhuai's eyelids jumped at the sight.

Daotingsi's "torture" is not without it.

It is not like he has never used all kinds of torture instruments.

But he has never seen such a gentle, cruel, and ingenious instrument of torture...

The child Mo Hua looks innocent, but there is too much evil in his stomach...

"how do you feel?"

Mo Hua asked in a clear voice.

It's as if he made a dish and asked others how it tasted...

"Kid, one day, I will kill...ah——"

Jia Ren couldn't help it and let out a hoarse wail.

Mo Hua's face was sympathetic, "If you don't say anything, it will get more and more painful..."

Then he silently increased the spiritual power supply of the "Iron Plate" formation...

Jia Ren's facial features are all deforming.

I don't know how long it took, but under the double torture of the "pain" caused by the iron plate and the "pain" caused by the ink painting, Jia Ren's Taoist heart finally collapsed.

Jia Ren's voice trembled and he said as if he was resigned to his fate:

"I...said! I said..."

He could die forever, but he couldn't bear this anger and pain.

Mo Hua looked happy.

Jia Renken said that this shows that his optimization and improvement of the "iron plate" during this period of time has been very effective.

And it was recognized by the first person to experience it!

Gu Changhuai picked up Jia Ren, and Mo Hua asked some of the previous questions again.

"Where is the Fire Buddha?"

"Why do you want to destroy the Xie family?"

Jia Ren broke into a cold sweat and gritted his teeth: "I can't say these things..."

Mo Hua's face was stern, "You dare to trick me?"

Jia Ren felt cold sweat break out on his back and his knees ached. He quickly said: "No, I don't dare..."

He swallowed hard, "I can't say these..."

Mo Hua frowned, "What do you mean?"

Gu Changhuai's eyes narrowed, "The Speech Spell..."

Mo Hua was puzzled, "Speechless curse?"

Gu Changhuai said: "It is an evil spell. It is cast in the form of a spiritual spell. It can prohibit monks from saying certain words. Once violated, the spell will backfire, hurting the throat and even the sea of ​​consciousness..."

"There is actually such a magic..."

Mo Hua was startled, then turned his head and said:

"How about asking him to write it down?"

There is a ban on words, speech, and writing.

Gu Changhuai shook his head, "I can't even write..."

"If it's so simple and there are loopholes for you to exploit, wouldn't this spell be stupid?"

"The purpose of the so-called gag technique is to make the monks strictly keep secrets and not disclose them to the outside world, whether they are written or spoken."

Mo Hua nodded, "That's true..."

Then we can only make insinuations and ask some things.

It cannot be related to things like "Fire Buddha", "Xie family", "annihilation of the family".

Mo Hua thought for a while and asked Jia Ren:

"Where is your real storage bag...hidden?"

Jia Ren was startled, his eyes trembling.

Gu Changhuai was also a little surprised.

Seeing that Jia Ren didn't want to say anything, Mo Hua's eyes became more and more dangerous.

Jia Ren looked gloomy and finally sighed: "Bishan City, Rouge Shop, behind the secret room, the third secret compartment..."

"Rouge shop, secret room, secret compartment..."

Mo Hua silently wrote it down, and when he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of a cold glimmer in Jia Ren's eyes.

This lingering light is fleeting.

He became frightened again.

Mo Hua snorted coldly in his heart.

"Playing such a little trick in front of me..."

Soon, several Daotingsi chief executives arrived.

They are not the chief executives of Bishan City, but from Qianxue Prefecture.

And they are not ordinary executives, they all have the surname Gu.

The Gu family is only a fourth-grade family, but its status in the world of Qianxue is not low, because the Gu family has had many disciples serving in the Daotingsi for generations.

Disciples, former officials, and old friends spread throughout Qianzhou.

Although Gu Changhuai has a bad temper, he has been in the Daotingsi family since he was a child. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, he has extremely strong criminal investigation skills and has family support, so he has a high prestige in Daotingsi.

The matter of the Fire Buddha is extremely confidential.

Gu Changhuai was not at ease for the time being and asked other executives to intervene. He only trusted his own members of the Gu family.

These executives came over and bowed their hands to Gu Changhuai:

"Sir."

Gu Changhuai nodded slightly, pointed at Jia Ren, and ordered: "Watch this man, don't let him run away, let alone die."

"yes!"

The chief executive of the Gu family accepted the order.

Gu Changhuai nodded, and then returned to the rouge shop in Bishan City with Mo Hua.

Both of them let go of their consciousness and made sure that no one was watching around them, then they took a step forward and walked in.

Inside the rouge shop, the furnishings are neat but a bit shabby.

The air is filled with the aroma of rouge, but after a long time, it has a strange smell.

Behind the rouge shop, there is a screen, and behind the screen, there is a secret room.

Although it is hidden, it cannot be hidden from Gu Changhuai and the other two.

Gu Changhuai is a Jindan monk and a Taoist Diansi. He has profound cultivation and rich experience.

Mo Hua has powerful spiritual consciousness, is proficient in formations, and is even more familiar with finding secret rooms.

But there is a formation above the secret room.

It looks like it's a second-grade formation, used to seal the secret door.

The formation is not high-end, but it may be a little tricky.

Gu Changhuai, who is proficient in criminal investigation but not proficient in formations, is hesitating whether to call a few more Dao Tingsi formation masters to come over and see if there are any mechanisms in these formations...

But in the blink of an eye, Mo Hua took out his pen, dipped it in ink, and drew some pattern outside the secret room.

Then, the five-color patterns on the secret door suddenly lit up, and then disappeared one by one.

The formation that sealed the door was lifted.

The door to the secret room also opened.

The technique is too fast, too skillful...

He didn't even look carefully to see what the ink painting was about...

Gu Changhuai looked stunned and looked at the ink painting, "Felting the formation...can you do it too?"

Mo Hua nodded, "This is simple."

It's just a way to break up the formation. He has been learning it since his Qi refining period. He uses it frequently and is already very proficient.

And in order to keep a low profile, he didn't even have the knowledge to control ink. Instead, he honestly used the pen dipped in ink to solve the problems one by one.

Otherwise, he would untie the formation with just a few fingers...

In front of Uncle Gu, it was a bit too showy.

After solving the formation, the door of the secret room has been opened, and it is dark inside.

Mo Hua thought: "Uncle Gu, will you go in first?"

Although it is a secret room, in Bishan City, there is unlikely to be any danger inside.

There are so many people in the Fire Buddha, and they cannot hide inside.

But just in case, Mo Hua was cautious and did not proceed rashly.

The sky is falling, but with the "big man" like Uncle Gu holding it up, it is not the turn of a little monk like me to take risks.

Gu Changhuai nodded and walked into the secret room.

After ten breaths of time, Mo Hua saw nothing unusual inside, so he followed in.

As soon as he entered the secret room, Mo Hua looked up and saw Gu Changhuai standing in the center of the secret room with a serious look on his face.

Mo Hua looked around and saw that the relatively spacious secret room was messy and filled with many storage bags.

Some storage bags have been opened.

There are also some stacked in the corner.

At the same time, the surroundings were full of bloody spiritual weapons, as well as miscellaneous spiritual weapons that seemed to have been stolen from the Xie family.

It looked like after rummaging through, the "useless" things were packed in storage bags and then prepared to be discarded.

This Jia Ren is doing the dirty work of "cleaning up the aftermath".

And he is good at disguise, and he is also the best suited to cover up others' eyes and do this kind of finishing thing.

There is indeed a secret compartment in the secret room.

There is nothing abnormal around the hidden grid, but there must be a formation inside...

Gu Changhuai looked hesitant. He was hesitating whether to call Tingsi's formation master to come over again.

But he glanced at the calm-looking Mo Hua beside him and gradually gave up the idea.

"What formation is this?"

Gu Changhuai asked about ink painting.

Mo Hua was a little surprised.

This was the first time Gu Changhuai asked himself questions about the formation.

Mo Hua let go of his consciousness and looked at the hidden grid structure several times. After a little calculation, he considered:

"This is the second-grade, fourteenth-mark earth-sealing formation. It seals things inside and blends them with the earth and stone aura, making them difficult for monks to detect..."

"The Earth Sealing Formation is normal."

"What's abnormal is that there is a metamagnetic array faintly nested inside..."

"The hidden grids here are considered to be the medium of the Yuan Magnetic Array, and they are also a kind of formation 'mechanism'..."

"If the method is wrong when it is turned on, the elemental magnetic array will be touched, and information will be transmitted through the obscure magnetic current..."

"This news is probably..."

Mo Hua thought for a moment and said slowly: "Remind some people that the secret grid has been discovered by 'outsiders', let them be more careful..."

This is what Jia Ren has in mind.

When death was imminent, he still wanted to tip off the news...

Gu Changhuai looked calm, but his heart couldn't help but be shaken.

Just by looking at the ordinary dark grids on the surface, you can see so many things...

Is this what a true formation master is like...

Know the slightest thing.

Looking at a leaf, you can see the spring and autumn.

After Mo Hua finished speaking, he turned to Gu Changhuai and asked, "Uncle Gu, am I right?"

Gu Changhuai said vaguely: "Well..."

He felt a little guilty for no reason.

The next step is to take out the things in the hidden compartment.

Seeing that Gu Changhuai had no objection, Mo Hua took action himself.

He still followed the old practice and first used the formation pen to draw formation patterns extremely carefully, and then unlocked the second-grade "Earth Sealing Formation".

Then he carefully avoided all the "mechanisms" of the metamagnetic array and took out a storage bag from the secret compartment.

Just like a little mouse, quietly stealing the "fat" from the mouse trap.

Mo Hua handed the storage bag to Gu Changhuai.

Gu Changhuai didn't expect it to be so simple. He sighed helplessly, opened the storage bag and looked through it one by one.

There are many spiritual stones inside.

There is a volume of exercises called "Fish and Flesh Transformation Skills".

This is an evil technique. After practicing it, you will abandon your original appearance, turn your skin into flesh and blood, and change your appearance at will.

But in this process, the monk's self-perception will gradually become disordered.

Gradually, I no longer know whether I am a boy or a girl, tall or short, fat or thin, and I may even forget whether I am a "human" or not.

A body of flesh and blood will twist and deform once it gets out of control.

He must drink human blood to maintain his human form.

Mo Hua glanced at it a few times, then clicked his tongue and shook his head.

He originally wanted to learn this "disguise technique", but now it seems that this technique is so evil that he can't learn it.

What if after learning, my parents, master, junior brothers and junior sisters will not be able to recognize me in the future.

What's more, you have to drink human blood...

He doesn't drink.

In addition to this "Flesh Transformation Technique", there are several other evil arts. Although they are evil, they are nothing special.

Finally, there is a jade slip.

The ink painting on this jade slip can be seen at a glance.

"It's a messenger!"

Gu Changhuai's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Jia Ren didn't carry this summons with him. He didn't know he was being targeted before the accident, so the content inside was most likely not erased.

And this messenger order may very well have clues to where the Fire Buddha is hiding!

Gu Changhuai looked at it intently and his expression froze.

The order to pass the message was completely white, without a single word.

"This is..." Gu Changhuai frowned.

"Has it been sealed?" Mo Hua asked at the side.

Gu Changhuai looked at the ink paintings and said numbly:

"You don't know how to unblock it..."

"It's okay," Mo Hua nodded, "I know a little bit..."

"How...how to explain..."

When we talked about the principles of the formation, Mo Hua became interested.

He has been studying the matter of unsealing and declassifying it for a long time, and now he can finally "show it off".

"The principle of sealing is based on the magnetic pattern principle of the Yuan Magnetic Array..."

"The fixed magnetic pattern adapts to the indefinite magnetic pattern through a certain agreement. This agreement itself is a kind of magnetic flow. After the magnetic flow operates, secondary thunder patterns will be generated..."

"Then to unseal, we need to find the secondary thunder pattern as the seal, and use the secondary thunder pattern to reversely act on the indefinite magnetic pattern to eliminate the 'magnetic ink cloud', thereby unlocking the seal and restoring the obscured text..."

…

Gu Changhuai felt numb after hearing this.

He just felt that he could understand every word, but when they were put together, he couldn't understand anything.

Mo Hua's voice was clear and organized, but the words he spoke were very confusing.

These "magnetisms" and "patterns" were like magnetic currents, densely packed, entering from his left ear and escaping from his right ear.

He remembered nothing, and his heart was like a field covered with heavy snow, completely white and at a loss.

"The principle is almost like this..."

After Mo Hua finished speaking, he asked Gu Changhuai: "Uncle Gu, do you understand..."

Gu Changhuai was stunned for a moment, then forced himself to calm down and said:

"Well, I understand..."

In front of Mo Hua, he could only pretend that he understood.

Although in fact, I don’t understand at all...

Gu Changhuai was afraid that Mo Hua would continue talking, so he immediately said:

"Without further delay, let's untie the 'seal pattern' on the jade slip first..."

"It's important to catch the fire Buddha..."

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded repeatedly.

Gu Changhuai didn't know why, but he was silently relieved.

Then he saw the ink painting, and he concentrated carefully. While looking at the jade slip, he kept drawing something on the paper, strange patterns, and occasionally whispered in his mouth...

"Not this one……"

"no……"

"A bit like……"

"no……"

…

Mo Hua looked attentive, and the luster in his eyes was like stars.

Gu Changhuai's eyes trembled and he couldn't help but slow down his breathing, for fear of disturbing Mo Hua.

I don't know how long it took, but a glimmer of light flashed in Mo Hua's eyes.

"Untied!"

Gu Changhuai was secretly shocked and a little unbelievable at the same time.

"What's written in it?"

The ink painting sinks the spiritual consciousness into the jade slip.

The jade slips were empty, except for eight words:

"The Devil's Cave in Bishan, the cave beyond the sky."
