Chapter 678 Yanshuihe
The reward was stolen instantly, and the disciples were depressed.
And when he "colluded" with Uncle Gu and successfully grabbed the reward of ink paintings, he was in a happy mood and smiled with his eyes.
He looked at the task entry carefully again.
Wanted Reward: Crossing the River Dragon.
The sin practice of the middle stage of foundation building, and practice the water-based exercises "Bailang Jue". He is proficient in water nature and often lurks in rivers, sinks ships and kills people, and looks like a "water ghost".
The use of hook claw-like spiritual weapon is unknown, and it is suspected to be a water-based spiritual weapon: the three shark claws, and the claws are quenched with water poison.
Remember: This person''s martial arts are strong when encountering water. If it is not necessary, do not fight with him in the water to avoid accidents.
There is also a line of small characters behind:
Mo Hua guessed that this was a reminder that Uncle Gu specifically gave him.
After all, I was born in Tongxian City, Lizhou, and was adjacent to Daheishan, and relied on the mountain to earn the mountain.
When we arrived in the Ganxuezhou area, we were mostly in the mountains and rarely dealt with rivers and water monks.
"Uncle Gu, although he looked cold and as if someone owed him a spirit stone, he was still very caring occasionally."
Mo Hua nodded.
In addition, a document is attached after the reward:
On the third day of March, Yanshuihe.
There were six vendors who took a boat to cross the river and reached the lower section of Yanshui River. The ships sank and the vendors fell into the water.
One person was strangled by a monk in the water and tore his throat.
Blood stained the river, attracting several aquatic monsters, biting and killing the remaining people together.
None of the six people were spared.
According to the practice of the perpetrator, his skills and weapons, the person is likely to be a sinister who travels across rivers and commits many evil deeds.
“Crossing the River Dragon”.
Mo Hua recorded the key points in the file, prepared several water-based formations, and found Cheng Mo the next day and said straight to the point:
“There is a reward of 600 merits, and each person will be divided equally by 120 merits.”
?
Cheng Mo and the others are pitiful, and it is rare to earn 10 or 20 points of merit.
Mo Hua felt that as a "little senior brother", she should take care of these "little junior brothers".
"One Hundred and Twenty O''clock?!"
Cheng Mo opened his mouth wide, a little unbelievable.
He has been having a few days and has not received a reward of more than fifty o''clock.
Unexpectedly, when the ink painting was used, it was 120 o''clock!
Cheng Mo was shocked and curious, "Mo Hua, how did you get this reward?"
"Don''t ask, I have my own way!"
"Mo Hua raised her head slightly, looking reserved and calm.
In Cheng Mo''s eyes, this look became more and more light and "unfathomable".
"Mo Hua, your background is so tough!" Cheng Mo couldn''t help but sigh.
Mo Hua was unhappy, "What are you talking about?"
?
"You are the younger brother, you are very good at your skills and strong relationships!" Cheng Mo praised.
He swept across the street and looked at the gate, and received a lot of rewards of various types. He knew that it was difficult to accept rewards with high meritorious achievements.
A group of fellow disciples stared at him, there were too many monks and less porridge.
There are also a group of senior brothers and sisters with higher cultivation, older qualifications and richer experiences to compete with them.
For fairness, the sect’s “meritorship” mechanism is relatively independent and not interfered with by other people.
The Daotingsi side is also in business.
All means must be in accordance with the order and regulations, and there is no possibility of "forensic and fraud".
But, ink painting!
Just one year after entering the school, the initial stage of foundation building can surpass a group of senior brothers and sisters, "snatch food from the wolf''s mouth", and receive a reward of 600 meritorious achievements!
How many operations should be done in this secret...
How strong should the relationship with Daotingsi be...
Er Mo dared not think about it.
At this moment, he felt that Mo Hua''s whole person was emitting a dazzling light.
"Senior Brother, you eat chicken legs." Cheng Mo immediately presented the "offer" - a chicken legs that were burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, fat and fragrant, from the precious golden pheasant.
Mo Hua took the chicken leg with peace of mind, took a bite, and left a fragrance on his mouth, and was very satisfied.
However, he still reminded Cheng Mo: "This reward is more dangerous, you have to consider it."
?
Cheng Mo said, "Don''t worry, I know it!"
120 points of merit!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Others want to take this risk, but I’m afraid there is no such opportunity yet.
"Okay." Mo Hua nodded, "Then you and Situ are ready. Let''s go out the day after tomorrow."
"No problem!" Cheng Mo agreed immediately.
… ????It was soon after the rest of the year. After class, Mo Hua was at the disciple''s residence and met Cheng Mo and the others.
There were five people in total. In addition to Mo Hua, there were Cheng Mo, Situ Jian, Hao Xuan and Yang Qianjun.
Cheng Mo, Situ Jian and Hao Xuan, like Mo Hua, are all disciples of "Taiyiju". They live in a building and they also attend classes together on weekdays.
All three of them have taken the Form Painting Form Painting, so they all called Form Painting “Little Brother”.
Yang Qianjun is an exception. He is from "Taijiaju". He has never attended ink painting class and does not call ink painting "Little Brother".
However, he and Cheng Mo had a good relationship. Last time, when the traffickers happened, everyone fought side by side, lived and died together, and the friendship was deeper.
Yang Qianjun himself was born in the Yang family of the Taoist Bingsi. He was upright and had a good cultivation of Taoism.
Mo Hua and the Yang family are quite friendly, so I took him with him this time.
As for Yili…
He is a pure spiritual practitioner. It’s better if there are too many people and fewer people. He can cast spells from afar.
Once the number of people is at a disadvantage, he is approached by the enemy and the first one is knocked down.
So Yi Li followed Mo Hua''s advice and went to learn the magic of protecting his body and running away. Mo Hua did not bring him this time.
The five people were ready, and led the team to Yanshui River.
I’ll pay attention to the ink painting on the road and tell them again to several people.
Including the cultivation of "crossing the river dragon", its skills, spiritual weapons, habits, habitual means of killing, etc.
Cheng Mo and his men looked slightly solemn.
They usually receive rewards, but most of them are the sins in the early stage of foundation building, and not many are the middle stage of foundation building.
Even if there is, it is relatively weak.
Either you have just entered the middle stage and have not had a deep cultivation level, or your skills are not good, or your Taoism is mediocre, and there is no such sin practice that you have committed many evil deeds and kill people in the true sense.
But this person is different from "Crossing the River Dragon".
This is an old world in the world of cultivation. He has practiced for many years, has a solid foundation, special skills, and is cruel in his skills. He has a very rich experience whether it is killing or escaping.
The monks they met before were completely different from the same level.
The only one that can match it is probably the leader of the man in black who was the man in black.
The black-clothed leader was also in the middle stage of foundation building. Even when facing the siege of Cheng Mo and the other two, he was still at ease.
Even though everyone tried their best, they did not leave the black-clothed leader behind.
Even if Mo Hua hadn''t led the black-clothed leader away, they might have died at the hands of the black-clothed leader at that time.
Until the end, they didn''t know where the black-clothed leader went.
Thinking of this, Cheng Mo and the others were still scared.
Thinking of the possibility that the "crossing river dragon" that was about to face was also brutal, they couldn''t help but feel a little nervous.
Ink painting has a calm expression.
It is just a small scene to capture a "crossing the river" in the middle stage of foundation building.
Over the past year, there are not a hundred or ninety years of sins that have been in his hands.
Of course, some of them are "mixed fish" that make up the numbers. There are not so many people with great reputation like "crossing the river dragon", and they are probably only a few dozen smaller.
Boss Jiang’s list was almost caught by him.
And this "crossing river dragon" is also a person on the list.
As soon as I thought about this, Mo Hua frowned slightly.
He always felt that this list was very inconsistent.
All the monks on the list have unique skills and good cultivation. They also have the "Fire Buddha" to practice forbidden art. In the second-grade state world, they are unsolvable powerful demon cultivators.
Although Boss Jiang, who was in the early stage of foundation building, had a trump card of the "Broken Gold Sword and Sword Technique" and had more than a dozen personal traffickers, how could he have such a "notorious" list?
This is very unreasonable...
Mo Hua had a vague guess before that this list may not belong to Boss Jiang at all.
It’s not Boss Jiang’s, who will it be?
What is the connection between the monks on the list?
Why are these names recorded in such a jade slip in such a secret way?
Mo Hua took out the list and looked carefully again.
On the list, the most powerful Fire Buddha was dead.
Most of the other monks were either dead or arrested.
The remaining small part is either missing or not knowing where it is hidden and no longer reveals. There are very few clues nowadays.
The only one who showed his head recently and then caught his tail was this "crossing river dragon"...
"Catch the crossing river dragon and see if you can find clues..."
"Train Cheng Mo and the others..."
"Try the new array media..."
"Then…"
Mo Hua raised her head slightly, looked far away, and through the car window, she saw the scene of Qianzhou outside the car, and said silently in her heart:
You should also take a look at what the prosperity of Qianxuezhou area is like, the prosperous Qianxuezhou area is full of families and sects...
Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement;
The terrain is quiet, and a gentleman carries things with virtue.
When a monk seeks the Tao, he cannot just look up at the sky, but occasionally he should look down at the earth.
…
The carriage is driving with the wind, and the scenery outside the window changes.
I don’t know how long it took, the green mountains and rivers retreated, and a vast river appeared on both sides of the road.
The water surface is vast like a flat mirror, with smoke lingering, the same color as the sky.
Yanshui River.
This is a river near the Qianxuezhou border, spanning several small prefecture borders, with moist water flowing and long flowing.
The breeze blows, causing faint ripples, and the fresh water vapor of the rivers spreads over the surface.
Ink Hua took a deep breath and felt the breeze coming into her arms, feeling relaxed and happy.
After walking for dozens of miles, we arrived at a ferry.
The ferry was not big, and several spiritual boats were parked. Cultivators came and went, going to the shore and crossing the river.
The water surface of Yanshui River is wide, and the waterways upstream and downstream are far away.
Although monks can learn some "crossing the water" body techniques, they can cover their spiritual power on the soles of their feet, step on the water and cross the river, like walking on flat ground.
But this kind of body movement consumes more spiritual power. Once the spiritual power is exhausted in the middle, it will drown into the water.
And the most dangerous ones are all kinds of aquatic monsters at the bottom of the river.
These aquatic monsters have varying grades and are born with water, have strong strength and like to eat people.
If a monk is attacked by a water monster during the journey or after drowning, once he loses, he will become a bait devour from the monster.
Therefore, when cultivators cross the river, they are still accustomed to riding the "spiritual boat" and using the spiritual boat to cross the water to resist monsters.
The bigger the spiritual boat, the safer it is.
The six vendors who died in the river were riding in "small boats". The materials were probably not good, and the formation was not strong enough, so they were penetrated by the "Red Crossing the River".
The spiritual boat was overturned, and the six people were buried in the water.
As for crossing the river dragon, it is probably also its own unique method to be able to shuttle freely in the water and avoid monsters.
According to the Daotingsi file, the ink paintings generally determined the location where the six people died:
The lower reaches of the ferry, a twenty-mile river section.
Several people took a carriage and walked for another twenty miles to the vicinity of the river.
The weeds on both sides were lush and decorated with yellow flowers, like green carpets on both ends.
The river water in the middle is flowing gurgling.
The scenery is beautiful and interesting, not like a dead place.
Cheng Mo looked at Mo Hua and asked in a low voice: "Mo Hua, do you know where those six people died?"
The ink painting had a deep gaze. After peeking for a moment, it pointed to a section of river with lush water and grass on the shore:
"There."
Cheng Mo and his friends approached the shore and looked at Miaomiao''s water, all at a loss.
There is nothing but water.
The aquatic plants rippled in the water, and even if they were stained with blood, they had already melted completely.
But in the eyes of Mo Hua, there is indeed a faint blood-colored chain of cause and effect on the water surface.
Obviously, someone died here not long ago, and he died miserably.
"Mo Hua, what should I do now?" Cheng Mo asked.
Situ Jian and others also looked at the ink paintings.
Their previous tasks had clear clues and it was easier to find people. Unlike now, there were few clues and the wilderness was empty, making people unable to find any clues.
Mo Hua pondered for a moment and said, "The monks from the Daotingsi guarded him upstream and downstream. The dragon crossing the river should not be able to leave this section of the river..."
"The practice of crossing the river dragon cultivation is "White Wave Art". It is proficient in water and has both advantages and disadvantages."
"The advantage is that he is like a fish in water in the water, but the disadvantage is that once the water comes out, his strength will be greatly reduced."
"So, he shouldn''t dare to get too far away from the water. It''s probably hidden in a certain river nearby..."
Mo Hua took out a few array plates that had been prepared long ago, "I drew a water pattern array on these array plates to monitor the flow of spiritual power in the water..."
Afraid that they didn''t understand, Mo Hua said, "It''s like the Sinan array used in the water, or the Xiaoyuan magnetic array."
"This array disk is in duplicate, one is used for array layout and the other is used for monitoring..."
"You throw the array plates used to set up the array into the water, and throw one out of each section."
"Then we ''wait for the rabbit'' and wait for the ''crossing dragon''..."
Cheng Mo and his friends were unaware of their harshness and nodded.
So the few people acted separately, looking for a suitable position, and threw the water pattern array plate far into the water.
But this section of river is too wide, and the water pattern array can cover only a small section near the shore of the waterway.
Ink painting is just a chance.
It is not easy to catch such monks who are proficient in water in the river. At present, this is the best way.
After that, everyone stood on the shore, holding the array plate that monitored the water pattern array, and staring at the movement of the water pattern array.
Mo Hua also reminded: "When there is any movement, don''t rush to do it. Use Taixu Order to call people first, and then follow the long-term plan after everyone meets."
"Um."
Cheng Mo and the others nodded one after another.
After that, there is a long process of "waiting for the rabbit".
This process tests patience.
Mo Hua sat on the branch of a big tree on the shore, holding grass roots in her mouth and legs raised, staring at the water-patterned array plate for monitoring while looking at the scenery in the distance.
There was no movement for a full hour.
There was no message in Taixu Order.
When Mo Hua was just bored, he saw a small boat sailing out from the upstream. There were three or five monks on the boat pulling the fishing net. There seemed to be many fish in the fishing net.
Ink painting was slightly stunned.
"It won''t be... Crossing the river dragon?"
He released his spiritual sense and looked carefully, and realized that it was not.
There are only ordinary monks on the ship, two foundation-building and three qi refining. They are dressed simply. Although they are heavy in water, they have almost no killing energy.
It should be an ordinary "fishing repairman" nearby.
The so-called "fishing practice" is a monk who makes a living by raising and catching spiritual fish.
Mo Hua thought about it and then jumped down from the tree and walked towards the group of monks.
As we got closer, Mo Hua discovered that these monks had a slightly sad face, mud under their feet, and a heavy fishy smell on their bodies.
They poured out the spirit fish caught in the fishing net and put it in another basket.
These spirit fish are first-grade and second-grade.
Because it is fed with cheap spiritual objects, it has spiritual energy but no demonic energy, does not eat people, and does not have the ferocious nature of monsters.
Several fishing practitioners noticed someone approaching, looked alert, and when they saw Mo Hua, they found that they were just a cute little monk, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
A fisherman asked, "Little brother, where are you from?"
Mo Hua said, "I came from Ganxuezhou."
A few people heard this, their expressions rose a little respect, "Sons of the Sect?"
Mo Hua nodded.
"That''s amazing," said an older fishing practitioner. "If you can join the sects in the Ganxuezhou area, your talent is one of the best."
"Little brother, you must be the best spiritual root, right?"
Mo Hua couldn''t help but her cheeks were slightly red, "I... were a little worse..."
"That''s great!"
"I didn''t want to talk about "spirit root", so she changed the topic and asked, "Uncle, are you fishing?"
"Yes." The elderly fishing practitioner nodded and said, and after saying that he was a little confused, he asked, "Little brother, why are you going to this Yanshui River alone?"
