MTL - Asking About Longevity

Chapter 649 Fire Evil

Mo Hua's head was stuck for a moment, and then he immediately reacted and flipped through the chat history between Master Yuan and Fire Buddha.

There are indeed a few lines of dialogue in it, and most of the content is about the construction of the magic cave formation.

 During the conversation, Master Yuan called the other person "Venerable" and called himself...

 “Yuan someone”?

Mo Hua thought for a moment and immediately replied to Fire Buddha:

“I was busy with worldly affairs, got angry, and drank some wine, so I made a mistake. Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

 The person on the other side was startled, "Master is drinking wine? It's because the Sa family is being abrupt..."

Mo Hua’s eyes narrowed slightly.

 Calling himself Sajia...this person should be the Fire Buddha.

 With wine…

 The ink painting is deep in thought.

It seems that those eyes, and the blood wine soaked in them, are indeed extraordinary.

Then Mo Hua struck first and asked:

“Your Majesty…doesn’t it mean that you don’t trust Yuan?”

As soon as these three words came out, Fire Buddha felt relieved.

 Fire Buddha paused again and was silent for a long time, then hesitantly said: "Master Yuan, you seem to be a lot more 'lively'."

Fire Buddha frowned. He felt that the person opposite him seemed a little anxious. However, he thought that "Master Yuan" was drinking wine. Even if he sobered up, his consciousness would still be slightly tipsy and he needed to experience the "Shen Yun", so it was understandable that he was in a bad mood. .

 What a pity, that eye was taken away by Uncle Gu.

 He has never drunk it, so how does he know how it feels?

Logically speaking, Fire Buddha is so self-effacing that he would like to compliment him again.

Mo Hua’s heart skipped a beat and he pretended to be casual:

“Your Majesty, you can rest assured that I am here to take care of you.”

However, with "Master Yuan's" withdrawn and evil temperament, he may not like to "flatter" others...

Mo Hua doesn’t know if he should “praise” him any more.

 Fire Buddha: "Is there... any omissions?"

 Even this person is the Fire Buddha.

"Drink..." Fire Buddha asked, "How does that wine taste?"

The appearance of the evil formation master drinking appeared in front of his eyes, as well as the crazy ravings he said...

An idea flashed through Mo Hua, and he sighed:

“Even after drinking wine, I still can’t see it with my naked eyes..."

 It seems that even the Fire Buddha will not disturb the evil array master when he is drinking.

“This formation is an eighteen-pattern Yuan Magnetic Spiritual Vision Complex Formation. The center is the brain, the Spiritual Vision is the eye, and the Yuan Magnetic Vision is the ear. Even the slightest movement of wind and grass cannot hide it from me... Mr. Yuan..."

Mo Hua then asked: "Is there something important, Your Majesty?"

  At least a hundred years younger, but not much more lively...

 “It can lead to spiritual transformation, but it is not something that can be accomplished overnight.”

Fire Buddha: "There is truth in the world, and the truth contains great terror. Only in terror can there be an opportunity for immortality..."

I don’t know if Fire Buddha’s words are genuine curiosity or testing.

 “Well, don’t worry.”

Mo Hua felt a chill in his heart.

The Fire Buddha wrote:

“Recently, I feel uneasy at home, as if something is going on...”

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment and could only say:

 “I drank…”

 Otherwise, you can still study it yourself.

 It's not convenient for me to say more. If I say too much, the secret may be revealed...

Although you are afraid of revealing your secrets, you should not weaken your confidence. This will make it easier to be seen through.

 “The master is a little eager to achieve success...”

 If you have nothing to do, just get out of here...

“Master Mo” who pretended to be “Master Yuan” felt his heart skip a beat.

“The palace is airtight, the wind cannot blow in, and the rain cannot enter…”

“I wonder if there is something unusual in the palace?”

Mo Hua then pretended to be displeased and said:

 “With the naked eye, it is natural that we cannot see the truth of this world.”

 Fire Buddha paused and said slowly:

“With a master in charge, the Sa family will feel relieved.”

 Mo Hua feels a little guilty.

Mo Hua suddenly realized, no, it was "Master Yuan" who suddenly realized and praised:

“As expected of a venerable person, his insights are admirable.”

 Mo Hua originally wanted to say, "It tastes good," but this kind of answer was so rigid that it obviously did not fit the character of the evil array master...

“Master Yuan is overrated.” Fire Buddha also said in a very humble tone, “The superficial knowledge of Buddhist practitioners is not worth mentioning.”

 The ink painting is a bit confusing.

 Fortunately, Mo Hua didn't have to worry about it for long, and Fire Buddha praised him in turn.

“Master Yuan is proficient in formations and has a thorough understanding of the great ways of the world that is difficult for ordinary people to understand...”

Mo Hua replied reservedly and slightly arrogantly:

 “Your Excellency has given you too much praise…”

“The Tao of Formation is vast and profound, and I have only scratched the surface of it. I know that everything in this world is the remains of the Tao, and its appearance is floating and falling.”

“The world cannot see through it. They are ignorant of the Tao and have only cultivated their abilities. No matter how hard they seek, they will inevitably be wiped out by the Tao in the end..."

The ink painting mixed the formations, avenues, Taoist minds and other things together, and explained them to the Fire Buddha in a serious manner.

Fire Buddha was silent for a long time and said slowly:

“Master, he is also a person with great ‘wisdom root’!”

Fire Buddha continued:

“These days, I have wronged Master Yuan...”

 “The drink was poor…”

"When the temple is completed, living people will be sacrificed to the temple. At that time, a batch of high-grade spiritual root sacrifices will be killed, and the pure essence and blood will be taken to make wine for the master..."

Mo Hua frowned, feeling slightly cold in his heart.

 The temple...is this the Demon Temple?

The demonic cultivator puts a premium on his face and calls himself "holy" instead of "devil"?

 There is also a human sacrifice temple?

This does seem like something the Demonic Cult would do...

  It’s just a “sacrifice of high-quality spiritual roots”…

 The sacrifices also need to have high-grade spiritual roots?

With my qualifications as a middle-to-low-grade spiritual root, doesn’t it mean that I am not even qualified to be a “sacrifice”?

 Ink paintings have complex emotions.

 For a moment I didn’t know whether to be angry or grateful.

A mere demon cultivator actually engages in spiritual root discrimination!

 But the blood of these high-quality spiritual roots was given to "himself" to make wine...

 The Fire Buddha is so "kind".

 I don’t know what to do with ink painting.

Thanks?

With the quality of that dead, somewhat crazy evil formation master, would he be able to say "thank you"?

And putting it this way, doesn’t it seem that the layout is a bit small?

After all, he is a second-grade high-level evil formation master, so he wants to show off?

Mo Hua then said: "We treat demons as Taoists, treat ordinary people as stupid dogs, and build temples to achieve great things. How can we be wronged? Your Majesty, you underestimate Yuan..."

The Fire Buddha was silent for a long time, seemingly shocked, and then praised:

“Master Yuan studies formations on weekdays and is silent, but he really has a lot of knowledge and is extraordinary...”

“I don’t know, Master, would you like to take refuge in Buddhism?”

Mo Hua was stunned again.

This fire Buddha wants to make you believe in Buddhism?

“That’s not right. He doesn’t know that ‘I’ is ‘I’. He wants to win over the dead ‘Master Yuan’ to believe in Buddhism…”

But do you believe in Buddhism?

Mo Hua said: "I'm afraid Yuan doesn't have the 'wisdom root' of the Venerable..."

“No,” Fire Buddha said firmly, “Master’s wisdom is extraordinary. He is just returning to his original nature. He was just as unobtrusive as before…”

That's because the "Master Yuan" you were chatting with before is not dead yet, so he doesn't show his face...

Mo Hua still declined politely:

“Yuan Mou studied evil formations and used human flesh and blood to make formations. The killing was too serious, and I’m afraid he has no chance of becoming a Buddha…”

 “Master Yuan’s words are wrong!”

The Fire Buddha is still advising "Mo Hua": "Buddha said that all living beings are equal..."

“All living beings are born equally, and naturally they die equally.”

“People will die, so what if we kill a few people? What if we kill a lot of people?”

“It is nothing more than extraditing a person who will die in the future to his own fate in advance.”

“Since you are cultivating demons, you will inevitably have to kill people.”

 “After killing someone, it is inevitable that you will be haunted by resentment and pollute your heart…”

“Belief in Buddhism can calm resentments, suppress evil spirits, and keep one’s original intention...”

“The so-called putting down the butcher’s knife and becoming a Buddha immediately.”

“When you kill people, use a knife to get pleasure; when you are not killing people, put down the knife temporarily and cultivate your body and mind…”

"Even if you kill people like hemp, you can still feel at ease by reciting Amitabha."

"If you don't kill people, don't do evil, have no guilt in your heart, and have no sin to redeem, how can you eat fast or recite Buddha's name?"

 …

Mo Hua was shocked.

 This Fire Buddha is really a talent.

 What the **** is he cultivating...

 Can this be called "Buddha"?

 “What does Master Yuan want?” Fire Buddha passed on the book again.

Mo Hua is full of slander in his heart.

 Go ask "Master Yuan", don't ask me.

 It is impossible for me to promise you on behalf of the deceased "Master Yuan"...

Mo Hua had a headache, so he followed the fire Buddha and said:

 “How can Buddhism be so comprehensive?”

 “Surely so enlightened!”

“Can you calm down my drunken evil nature and suppress my drunken madness?”

 “Master can give it a try...”

Mo Hua said vaguely: "Then I will consult the venerable one another day and explore the profoundness of Buddhism together..." "Okay." Huo Buddha said, "Master Yuan is busy with business, so I won't disturb him. I will discuss the Tao with Master Yuan another day."

 There was no news about Fire Buddha after that, and I don’t know what he was busy with.

 The ink painting looked solemn.

 I got into a conversation with Fire Buddha...

This was completely unexpected and not part of his plan.

 What to do next?

Continue to pretend to be "Master Yuan", chat with Fire Buddha, and obtain information from him?

Mo Hua shook his head.

Fire Buddha is not an idiot.

It’s okay to talk about big but empty things like the Great Way and Buddhism. I really want to ask him:

 “What’s in the inner sanctum?”

 “You are so powerful in the Fire Meteor Technique. Where is the secret book hidden?”

  Or questions like "What are you planning to do by destroying the entire Xie family...".

With the fire Buddha’s astuteness, he must have known there was a problem instantly.

I can't talk about Buddhism with him anymore, just in case he gets excited about the conversation and comes to see me. I see the dead "Master Yuan" and the "lively" self in charge of the Yuan Magnetic Rejuvenation Formation for Master Yuan. , that would be the end of it.

 “Then...bring out the Fire Buddha?”

“And then let Uncle Gu and the others come for the assassination?”

 But in the later stage of foundation building... Fire Buddha, who should be regarded as the peak combat power of foundation building, is probably not that easy to assassinate...

 Fire Buddha is very vigilant.

Uncle Gu can’t use the power of the golden elixir yet.

Once he misses, the Fire Buddha cannot be killed and will be surrounded by demon cultivators.

 At present, there are about 300 demon cultivators in the outer hall and the middle hall. Some have been killed, but there are still many.

Even if everyone is killed, there should be at least a hundred more in the inner hall...

Mo Hua frowned.

 You cannot wait for the Fire Buddha to react and then think of a solution. By then it will be too late...

 “You must make plans early and find a way to solve it quickly...”

　　It will change if it is too late.

Mo Hua immediately sent a message to Gu Changhuai:

“Uncle Gu, call for people quickly to surround the Demon Palace...”

 Gu Changhuai's expression darkened, "Have we been discovered?"

“That’s not true,” Mo Hua said, “Fire Buddha came to chat with me...”

 Gu Changhuai: “…”

After a while, Gu Changhuai asked: "What did he tell you?"

 “It’s nothing…”

He can't say that Fire Buddha wants to get him to join the gang and also wants to get him to "believe in Buddhism"...

 Although he wears a "Master Yuan" vest...

"I fooled it, but it's hard to say anything after that..." Mo Hua said.

Gu Changhuai only thought for a moment and then decided:

“I will send people here right now. Before that, let’s seize the time and kill as many as we can to weaken the strength of the demon cultivators as much as possible…”

"good."

 There are probably more than 200 demon cultivators in the outer hall and the middle hall.

Since time was urgent, Mo Hua seized the time and began to "roll call", while Gu Changhuai and the others continued the assassination.

 The demonic cultivators were eliminated one after another.

While Mo Hua controlled the Yuan Magnetic Rejuvenation Formation and gave orders to the demon cultivators to send them to death, he also used the book of demon cultivators from the dead demon cultivators to chat with other living demon cultivators to cover up the fact that they were dead.

 Time passes little by little.

At this moment, Mo Hua monitored a "message" in the Yuanci Center:

“The evil spirit in the outer hall is getting worse, and someone is killing people. Woodcutter Liu, go and have a look..."

Mo Hua was shocked.

　　Discovered!

Mo Hua checked and found that the person who sent this message was none other than Fire Buddha.

 Sure enough, I didn’t hide it…

Mo Hua frowned.

only…

“The evil spirit is getting worse.” How did Fire Buddha notice it?

 What is evil spirit?

Mo Hua was confused.

 But now is not the time to dwell on this.

Mo Hua immediately sent a message: "Uncle Gu, we are about to evacuate. Fire Buddha found someone dead outside..."

Gu Changhuai also said immediately: "Okay, let's go find you."

Mo Hua is waiting in the privy room.

 Before leaving, he had to do some tricks.

 The Yuanci Spiritual Vision Complex cannot be destroyed for the time being.

 If it is destroyed, the Book Demon Order will fail and the Fire Buddha and others will be alerted in an instant.

 Ink painting can only use basic fixed magnetic patterns to "lock" the Yuan Magnetic Spirit Vision Complex Array, temporarily preventing others from using it.

 In the secret room, there is also the body of Master Yuan.

Because it hasn’t been dead for too long and hasn’t rotted yet, but it’s hard to throw away, so I can only put it in a secret room first.

This body is not easy to dispose of yet.

Mo Hua thought for a while and simply left the body here.

 After a while, Gu Changhuai and the others came back.

Seeing that Mo Hua was safe and sound, Gu Changhuai breathed a sigh of relief.

 “Leave here first.” Gu Changhuai said.

 “Yeah.” Mo Hua nodded.

The group of people then hid themselves, and with Mo Hua leading the way, they left the secret room of Yuanci Center and walked outside the Demon Palace.

This trip to ink painting was a familiar one.

Having been monitoring the center of the formation for so long, Mo Hua already has a clear understanding of the structure of the Demon Palace.

Walking in the Demon Palace, ink painting is like walking in the yard of your own home.

Mo Hua asked in a low voice on the road:

“Uncle Gu, have you all shouted?”

Gu Changhuai nodded, "We have all been mobilized. Two hundred and eighty people are stationed outside the sky."

Mo Hua nodded slightly.

 Two hundred and eighty people...the number is superior, so it should be enough.

Many of the demon cultivators in the Demon Palace have died, and it is estimated that there are only about 1,890 of them now.

 Next, it’s a head-on confrontation, and it’s going to be a tough battle.

　　This place cannot be kept.

Mo Hua can stay for a while, but after all, it is a bit dangerous. Without bodyguards, he will not be brave.

 And there are other things to do…

Gu Changhuai is going back to command and dispatch the 280 executive officers of the Daoting Division.

Mo Hua must also find a way to destroy the Yuan Magnetic Array and Trap Array outside the Demon Palace and on the Hanging Stone Bridge.

 Otherwise, it would be difficult for these two hundred people to cross the stone bridge.

 Just like that, Mo Hua secretly left again along the way he came.

When passing by the gate of the Demon Palace, the gate was closed tightly, and there were several demon cultivators guarding it outside.

 “This gate... is also a problem...”

Mo Hua thought for a while and asked Gu Changhuai to kill the demon cultivators who were guarding the door.

 Then he did some tricks on the formation inside the gate, and then he left with peace of mind.

They did not go through the gate. Instead, they walked to the edge of the Demon Palace invisibly, climbed up along the rugged rocks of the Demon Cave, and left the Demon Cave through the dug cave entrance...

When Mo Hua left the devil's cave, Qiao Laoliu also walked out of the inner hall and went straight to the outer hall.

 The outer hall is empty.

Qiao Lao Liu had a rough temper and cursed: "Where are the people? Where have they all died?"

 The words echoed in the Demon Palace.

 But no one answered.

Qiao Laoliu frowned and walked around, but he didn't see a single person.

Qiao Laoliu was confused.

The Demon Palace is very large, and occasionally there will be quiet and empty places with few people around, but it will never be "empty" to this extent.

Qiao Lao Liu glanced down at the Fu River with his peripheral vision, and saw the clothes of several demon cultivators, and their bodies had been turned into blood mud and mixed into the rotten green river water.

Qiao Laoliu’s expression changed drastically.

"died?!"

 He immediately sent a message to the Fire Buddha: "Brother, something bad has happened. They are all dead!"

 A moment later, the door to the inner hall opened again.

The tall, gentle-looking but serious-looking Fire Buddha, dressed in a blood-red cassock, walked out of the temple door.

 He looked up and murmured in a low voice:

 “What a strong evil spirit…”

 “Many people died.”

"Pity…"

 Fire Buddha’s eyes were cold and his face showed no joy or sorrow:

“I didn’t kill him…I can’t bring the evil spirit into my body, I can’t repair the evil spirit of fire…”
