MTL - Asking About Longevity

Chapter 644 Water Hidden Jade

The next day, Mo Hua took leave, left Taixumen, and first went to Daotingsi on the border of Qianxue Prefecture.

 This is the agreement he made with Gu Changhuai.

 Meet up at Daotingsi first, and then set off to Bishan City.

In the Daoting Department, Gu Changhuai came back specially to pick up Mo Hua, and at the same time handed Mo Hua a storage bag.

"If he had been prepared in advance and escaped from the devil's cave, the operation would have failed."

Mo Hua thought for a while and said truthfully: "Fire Buddha should have a second-grade high-level formation master under his command..."

 This is even more strange...

“Generally speaking, the level of formation masters that Daotingsi can hire will be lower...”

 “That’s the Devil’s Den.”

Mo Hua sighed in his heart.

Gu Changhuai snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left.

Mo Hua’s eyes lit up.

Tongxian City in Lizhou is like this, Nanyue City is like this, and now the Immortal City in Qianzhou also seems to have this sign...

Mo Hua muttered in a low voice, "How stingy..."

"It's just that...although this case is difficult, no matter what, it is really difficult to explain after it has been delayed for so long."

“Once you encounter the formation, under the magnetic induction, the Fire Buddha will know that someone is walking on the stone bridge...”

He didn't ask about the Xiao family's affairs. It had nothing to do with him anyway.

 Gu Changhuai paused for a moment and then said:

After passing a line of sky, the vision suddenly became clear.

He was wearing a Daotingsi robe, but it obviously didn't fit him, as if he had found a temporary one and put it on casually.

 Only those who have reached the peak of the later stage of foundation building, or the golden elixir, can become a second-grade high-level formation master.

 At the later stage of foundation building, he became a second-grade mid-level formation master.

“Xiao Diansi, we still have official business.”

Hearing this, Gu Changhuai frowned.

Gu Changhuai remained silent.

Mo Hua could only tighten his belt, roll up his sleeves, and said eagerly:

"Let's go."

At the late stage of foundation building, a second-grade high-level formation master...

Mo Hua changed into the Dao Tingsi's Taoist robe, looking cute and dignified.

 Hidden array…

 Gu Changhuai and Mo Hua walked into the cave.

“It can be considered as supplies distributed by Daotingsi on a mission.” Gu Changhuai said calmly.

 This man is a master of formations!

Mo Hua said: "If I don't go, you will be discovered even if you are hidden..."

Xiao Diansi sighed, "The fire Buddha destroyed his family, which is too bad and makes people panic. The higher-ups attach great importance to it, and the boss is under great pressure..."

Gu Changhuai was a little surprised, but still nodded and said:

 On the contrary, they are the lowest level casual cultivators, living hard and unable to even use the lowest level formations.

 “It’s been a long time coming…”

 In the consciousness of the ink painting, a stone bridge clearly emerged.

 The ink painting looks confident.

The ink painting was concentrated on perception, and I couldn't help being surprised.

Xiao Diansi had a spring-like expression on his face, but his eyes were slightly sinister, which made people uncomfortable.

The dignified fifth-rank Qianxuezhou Jie Dao Tingsi is too stingy.

Gu Changhuai led the ink painting to a cave.

 Only Xiao Diansi stood there.

 Then, Gu Changhuai took out several jade pendants and gave one to each of them.

 Gu An and Gu Quan on the side looked normal, but they were extremely shocked in their hearts.

Gu Changhuai remained silent, and finally sighed:

"Okay, you can follow us first, go over to see the situation, and remember the 'Three Chapters of the Agreement'."

 “These small magnetic arrays cannot be hidden from me.”

 The sky is narrow and can only be passed by one person.

"Uncle Gu, the clothes are too big..."

 These are normal conditions.

 “Can’t it be customized?”

Gu Changhuai saw the strange expression on the ink painting and wondered what he was thinking, so he asked:

 “What did you see?”

Mo Hua looked at the cliffs on the horizon and felt dazed for a while.

Mo Hua probably understood in his heart.

Gu Changhuai, who was deep in thought, did not answer.

　　My judgment was wrong.

Mo Hua thought about it for a while and accepted it in a "good manner" manner.

“You and I are both magistrates. We have orders from above. We just have to act according to orders. Remember not to..."

 I will not be able to learn the Fire Meteor Technique...

Then his cultivation level... golden elixir?

Mo Hua frowned, thought for a while, and shook his head.

 But there was a devil's cave opposite, so Gu Changhuai was still worried about letting Mo Hua go there together.

 When Mo Hua looked up, he saw rocks stretching across the top of the mountain.

Mo Hua asked again: "Isn't he the ghost of Daotingsi..."

Mo Hua thought silently in his heart.

 Aristocratic families use formations to exploit and make profits.

The two of them were silent all the way until they arrived at Bishan City.

If he really knew how to use these formations, he wouldn't have invited Mo Hua to come.

Gu Changhuai became impatient, his face immediately darkened, and he said without any politeness:

 “Be your own Dianshi and don’t try to teach me how to do things.”

Gu Changhuai sighed, looking helpless.

He seemed to see again, the stone road on the cliff that was hidden in the back mountain of Dahei Mountain.

What's more, this jade pendant looks so expensive, it must be worth a lot of spiritual stones.

Gu Changhuai frowned and sighed:

“The mountain road is hidden and the formation is obscure.”

 …

 The chariot is fast and the horse is fast, and the journey is bumpy.

Fire Buddha is in the later stage of Foundation Establishment, and he is the boss, so the array masters under him should not be more than Establishment.

"yes."

 “Xiao Diansi…”

But we have to go to the Demon Cave, and we have to catch the Fire Buddha...

 There is a natural crack in the middle, covered on both sides, like a line between heaven and earth.

 “What formation?”

Gu Changhuai silently looked at the ink painting.

Jin Danjing, Erpin High -level Teacher, this kind of character cannot do things for the Fire Buddha.

 As expected of Uncle Gu, he has the self-cultivation of a "bodyguard"!

There was no one else around, and there was something else to do next. He wanted to trouble Mo Hua, so Gu Changhuai didn't care and told the truth:

The smile on his face gradually faded, and he sneered softly:

 “If a family-oriented person is still so upright, he will die clean sooner or later...”

Mo Hua nodded, "I will!"

“Gu Diansi, you don’t dare to make such a joke…”

“And the incident of the Fire Buddha happened in the Bishan City of the second rank. The criminal cultivators are all the second rank, so even though it is bad in nature, it is still regarded as a second rank case..."

 “This little monk…”

I can't live up to Uncle Gu's kindness.

Mo Hua looked at it and was suddenly startled.

 “Gu Diansi.”

"All right…"

Gu Changhuai was startled.

However, it is fortunate that Uncle Gu is a "former blind", otherwise he would not have the chance to intervene in the matter of the Fire Buddha...

Mo Hua glanced at Gu Changhuai secretly.

 The second-grade high-level one should be the second-grade high-level one.

Mo Hua muttered something and pondered: "To be able to be Dian Si, he should also be a descendant of a noble family, with the surname Xiao, Xiao family... Is this 'Xiao' family, like the Gu family, also a family closely related to Dao Tingsi?"

 An array master who can draw nineteen formation patterns must be a second-grade high-level array master.

“They block the intersection, or attack it unprepared, intercept it halfway, or be more ruthless and directly knock down the stone bridge, and you will be in danger..."

 It is also a good habit to listen to other people’s suggestions honestly.

On the stone bridge, formations are carved.

“Generally, it is better to survey the scene and crack the formation. In a siege like this, ordinary formation masters have no means to save their lives, which is very dangerous.”

 Even able to make the young master "compromise" to this extent.

"oh."

Mo Hua stood aside, secretly looking at Gu Changhuai, and saw that his expression was cold, and he seemed to be unfriendly to this Diansi named "Xiao".

 Gu An and Gu Quan also looked at each other.

This hidden formation seems to be...

 The formation master whose rank matches the level of cultivation is considered to be the best among the formation masters.

"Don't ask." Gu Changhuai interrupted Mo Hua, "Don't ask about the Xiao family's affairs. It's best to stay away from them, so as not to get into trouble..."

Mo Hua released his consciousness and scanned the empty clouds and mist under the cliff.

 What does it mean that Gu Diansi brought a young monk here?

Gu Changhuai did not explain to them, but ordered two people, "Gu Quan, Gu An, you come with me."

So everyone set off.

Mo Hua pointed at the cliff in front of him, "On the stone bridge below, in addition to the concealment array, there is also the Xiaoyuan Magnetic Array..."

“Yes, the Xiao family has greater power in the Daoting Division than the Gu family. The current head of the fifth-grade Daoting Division in Qianxue Prefecture is named Xiao..."

"They don't see any way in, let alone how they can help..."

Sitting on the carriage heading to Bishan City, Mo Hua asked in a low voice:

 The level of general formation masters is lagging behind the realm.

“Gu Diansi, are you still busy with the Buddha’s case?”

 He was afraid of some unknown hands and feet on the bridge.

Enter Bishan City, walk through the streets in the city, and go all the way to the foot of the mountain in the north of the city. You will see dangerous mountains with beautiful peaks, many mountains and rugged mountains.

Mo Hua nodded, and then asked curiously:

 “Then this Xiao Diansi…”

 It is estimated that the relationship between the two is not very good.

Gu Changhuai’s eyes were slightly cold and he said reluctantly:

 “Xiao Diansi.”

“In this case, don’t you need a smart, witty ‘little formation master’ with extraordinary attainments in formations to help you solve your problems?”

Mo Hua blinked.

Gu Changhuai pointed to the distance and followed the ink painting. He saw a solitary peak towering in the distance in a hazy place.

They bowed and said, "Yes, sir."

 As for the second-grade concealment formation, it is not surprising that it has nineteen formation patterns.

No wonder Uncle Gu, who always wanted to save face, let me come over to help.

 There is a high probability that he is still in the late stage of foundation building, or even at the peak of foundation building.

 “What is this?” Mo Hua asked.

  194.50.122.76

 They worked in Daotingsi and rarely looked back at home. This was the first time they saw ink paintings.

 Hide formation is the most difficult type of formation to learn among ordinary formations.

 Sin cultivators and evil cultivators will also use formations to hide their traces and do evil.

Mo Hua shook his head, "What a waste of time. Besides, what if there are other early warning formations?"

But now is not the time to sigh...

There is a second-grade high-level formation master among Fire Buddha's group of sin cultivators!

 “I was careless…”

Mo Hua sighed.

"But..." Mo Hua raised his eyebrows, "If you take me with you, then there will be no problem!"

“Don’t be accused of an unreasonable crime for no reason. I won’t go to **** to catch you when the time comes…”

Gu Changhuai took the lead and walked in front, Mo Hua followed behind him, and Gu An and Gu Quan were at the rear.

 “This little brother is…”

Xiao Diansi was interrupted and had no choice but to turn to Gu Changhuai. His eyes were slightly strange, but the smile on his face remained unchanged and he asked:

“Uncle Gu, does Xiao Diansi have a grudge against you?”

Mo Hua silently put Shui Yinyu into his arms.

 You can go, but you need to find a bodyguard.

Although it is difficult, it is not that dangerous.

 The ink painting suddenly dawned.

 We have seven days to catch the Fire Buddha and obtain the Fire Meteor Technique. There is not so much time to waste.

"feel like…"

 This is also the first time I have seen someone being able to "bargain" with the young master to this extent.

“It’s just a small Yuan Magnetic Array. I’ll ask someone to look back home and bring some Yuan Magnetic Sinan over to test it out a little bit…”

Uncle Gu is a "formation blind". If he had known, he would not have let himself come over.

 And it is very possible that he also has a high talent for formations...

 Second-grade high-level formation master...this is very troublesome.

 Xiao Diansi's smile faded slightly, and he said meaningfully: "I make my own decision..."

“If you make a mistake and miss it, you will be discovered by the Fire Buddha.”

Gu Changhuai glanced at Mo Hua suspiciously, and his intuition told him that Mo Hua must not have anything good to say in his heart.

Mo Hua opened the storage bag and saw some pills, some spiritual stones, some talismans, and a standard Taoist robe inside.

Now that I have grown up a lot, I naturally need to be more prudent in my work.

Having just walked halfway, I met a middle-aged man, wearing a black official robe, with narrow eyes and a pale face, but with a smile.

For example, in the middle stage of foundation building, you become a second-level primary formation master.

"oh…"

Gu Changhuai’s face didn’t look very good.

 …

Mo Hua asked again: "Dao Tingsi, there should be other formation masters, right?"

 “Just wear it, it’s already the smallest size…”

Gu Changhuai was startled when he heard this, "How did you tell?"

This kid is too courageous.

Gu Changhuai snorted softly.

Then Mo Hua felt that he was boasting a bit, so he added:

At this moment, they couldn’t help but stand in awe of the ink paintings.

This kind of formation master can be regarded as a formation genius, and it is generally impossible to fall into the trap of being associated with evil cultivators.

 “It’s no problem if you’re below the second-grade intermediate level and not higher than the high level.”

 When I arrived at the border of Qianxue State, I had never actually fought against a second-grade formation master.

"This is the Water Hidden Jade, a second-grade hidden spiritual weapon. After wearing it, the water will cover your body and you can hide your body..."

 He even thought about how to get there.

 Before setting off, Gu Changhuai told Mo Hua again:

"Leave us alone when something happens. Just run away if you can and save your own life."

“Even so, I still used the Gu family’s connections in Daotingsi to transfer a few second-grade formation masters, but...”

 This is also the reason why he did not rush across the bridge even though he had prepared an invisibility weapon before.

The man said hello with a smile.

“Most of the best formation masters in the cultivation world are in Tianshu Pavilion.”

“This small magnetic array is used for early warning...”

Gu Changhuai thought for a moment and said slowly:

“No matter what, we can’t let the Fire Buddha escape. It doesn’t matter to the second-grade high-level formation master. Find an opportunity and kill them all..."

The concealment formation that can hide it from the foundation-building monks is most likely to be of the second grade.

What's more, he was following behind Gu Changhuai, the "cold-faced judge" who kept strangers away.

Moreover, the battle between formation masters is not like a battle of skills, where life and death must be determined.

“I don’t blame the superiors, I blame Gu Diansi for not doing things well...”

Gu Changhuai frowned.

 This can also be regarded as a kind of communication experience.

Although he knows the concealment technique, and it is a high-end five-element concealment technique, it is always good to have an extra layer of insurance.

But there was still some distance to go to Bishan City, and Mo Hua took advantage of this time to ask about the Fire Buddha.

If he died inside, he would have no way to explain to his cousin.

 It should not be a golden elixir.

　　"Don't wear Taixumen's clothes. It's too conspicuous. Put on your robe..."

Gu Changhuai had no choice but to say, "Daotingsi cannot do things based on feelings alone..."

 “Hmm,” Mo Hua said quickly, “Follow you, don’t take action, just be a bastard.”

“Did you say bad things about me in your heart?”

Gu Changhuai's expression became complicated.

Gu Changhuai was indeed a little shaken.

 When can the formation that upholds the Great Way of Heaven and Earth truly benefit the common people?

 The ink painting is filled with emotion.

Mo Hua thought about it for a moment.

 Gu An and Gu Quan respectfully took the jade pendant.

Gu Changhuai looked out the window and sighed: "There is a formation..."

"But...how do you get there?" Mo Hua was a little confused, "If you go there in a grand way, you will be discovered..."

Mo Hua’s eyes narrowed.

 So, you still have to go to this devil's cave, but you can't go there alone.

Mo Hua murmured, and then looked at Gu Changhuai, "There is a cave outside the sky, so this devil's cave is behind this line of sky?"

But looking at his height and appearance, he is just a young monk who is not experienced in the world, and it is impossible to enter the Daotingsi.

 Based on the current situation, Fire Buddha’s group of sin cultivators must have formation masters.

"It's better..." Xiao Diansi's eyes narrowed slightly and he whispered: "Arrest a few first, close the case, and give an explanation to the superiors..."

For the first time, Gu Changhuai felt that the ink painting was a bit pleasing to the eye, with a complete picture in mind and a proud look...

 “What to do now?” Mo Hua asked.

 “Hidden Formation…”

Just as he was thinking about how to make up an excuse to fool this smiling tiger, Gu Changhuai said coldly:

 The first-grade concealment formation has a total of nine formation patterns.

Mo Hua immediately nicknamed him "Smiling Tiger" in his heart.

 “One line of sky…”

 In the crowd, two monks wearing the robes of priests, with the same figure and appearance, stood out.

 There is no other way, Fire Buddha’s matters are important.

That second-grade concealment formation is also very likely to be the top-grade second-grade formation, with nineteen formation patterns...

“Third-grade formation masters will look down upon the second-grade case.”

 It's just that the robe is loose and the sleeves are a little longer, obviously one size too big.

“You are right, there is a stone bridge at your feet, with a concealment formation carved on it, hiding the traces, so no one can find the devil’s cave on the opposite side..."

Mo Hua muttered in his heart.

Mo Hua immediately realized that he had overlooked something before.

Gu Changhuai refused: "You can't go."

 Xiao Diansi hesitated.

 At the beginning, I went to Heishan Village alone, but after thinking about it, it was indeed too risky and made my parents worried.

 This was the first time that they saw a troubled and helpless look on the face of the always arrogant young master...

The entrance of the cave is covered by ivy, but the inside of the cave is open and is the temporary stronghold of Daotingsi. There are dozens of executives inside who are discussing something in low voices.

Mo Hua looked at his nose and mouth, pretending not to hear anything, and followed Gu Changhuai away step by step.

The sky is high and the clouds are wide, white clouds are floating in the sky and around us. There is a cliff at our feet, and there is no other way.

Xiao Diansi’s expression froze, and he said with a smile:

 The second-grade nineteen-pattern formation!

The concealment formation that Mo Hua learned before was the first-grade nine-line formation. He has not learned the second-grade concealment formation yet.

Afterwards, Gu Changhuai took the ink painting and walked outside the Daoting Division.

Mo Hua denied: "No!"

Gu Changhuai took Mo Hua, as well as Gu Quan and Gu An, and left the cave. After walking in the mountains for a cup of tea, they stopped at a huge rock.

Mo Hua frowned.

 So, the formations in the Bishan Demon Cave should only be at the second-level mid-level, and I can definitely handle them.

Mo Hua observed the words and colors and continued:

“This is just a stone bridge. When we get to Fire Buddha’s ‘Devil’s Cave’, there are probably more formations inside…”

 For second-grade high-level formation masters, it’s very difficult...

 “Yeah.” Gu Changhuai nodded.

These executive officers all stood up quickly and saluted Gu Changhuai respectfully, but when they looked at the ink painting, they couldn't help but look puzzled.

There are reinforced earth and stone formations, small magnetic formations for monitoring, and hiding formations for invisibility.

"The surname is Gu..." Mo Hua knew without guessing that these two people must be from the Gu family, and they looked very similar, so they should be twins.

Gu Changhuai said: "I brought a few precious spiritual weapons from the Gu family for concealment. I will return them to him in his own way, and we will also conceal ourselves."

Gu Changhuai's eyes were deep, "Is this what the boss wants, or Xiao Diansi, what do you want?"

Gu Changhuai was a little helpless, "You are a non-staff member, so I can just make do with it. How can I customize it for you?"

Mo Hua agreed.

Gu Changhuai nodded.

Xiao Diansi was about to say something else when he suddenly saw the ink painting and looked slightly surprised.

“The formation masters of Tianshu Pavilion are very noble, even if they are from the Dao Tingsi, they usually can’t invite them..."

Mo Hua said: "I'll go too!"

 A "golden elixir" bodyguard.

 He still remembered this.

"And this group of criminal cultivators is extremely vicious, and even the second-grade formation masters dare not come."

Wearing a uniform means that he is from Daotingsi.

Mo Hua said: "Don't worry, Uncle Gu, as long as it's a second-level formation, there will be no problem!"

“Uncle Gu, can’t you enter the Demon Cave?”

There are four people in the group, Gu Changhuai in the Jindan stage, Gu An and Gu Quan in the later stage of foundation establishment, and ink paintings in the early stage of foundation establishment.

The four of them all hid their figures and stepped onto the invisible stone bridge leading to the Demon Cave one after another.
