Chapter 830 The Forbidden Box
Xiao Tianquan''s murderous intent was restrained.
The chill behind the ink painting disappeared, but the doubts in his heart became deeper and deeper.
What is Xiao Tianquan looking for?
Is the water bandit related to him?
Does he recognize Shui Yanluo?
Mo Hua recalled the signs of Xiao Tianquan along the way.
This time, Xiao Tianquan was not a problem with the extermination of the water bandits, at least on the surface, and he did not make any small moves in secret.
He also carried out all the tasks arranged by Xia Diansi.
When he killed the water bandits, he really killed him without any mercy.
Even more ruthless than others.
Mo Hua frowned.
"Xiao family, Xiao Tianquan... is a bit weird."
After that, he searched all the remaining secret rooms, got a map of the array, and found several stolen goods.
Then, nothing is there.
What should be searched, what should be searched, and what should be found will not be found.
Mo Hua sat on the island, picked a high platform with a beautiful scenery, looking at the misty moonlight and rippling water in the distance, waiting for news from Uncle Gu and Sister Xia.
About an hour later, Gu Changhuai and Xia Diansi came back.
The two of them were dusty and their faces were cold.
Mo Hua sighed and guessed in his heart that Shui Yanluo ran away again.
Gu Changhuai''s face looked a little ugly, "There is still a secret passage on the island. Shui Yanluo kept a backup plan and ran away from the secret passage..."
"We chased after it, but the water and Yan Luo were so good. Once it was touched by water, it would be like a dragon. Its Taoism is stronger and its body skills are faster. It would ride the wind and waves in the river, and it would come and go freely."
"But he was injured before, and lost his vitality, but he was still at a disadvantage. He was about to fall into a desperate situation, and at this moment, Shui Yanluo suddenly swam towards the third-grade river area next door..."
"Third grade?" The ink painting was a little surprised.
"Yes." Gu Changhuai nodded.
Mo Hua thought, "If it is the third grade, isn''t Shui Yan Luo... not your opponent to Sister Xia?"
After all, Shui Yanluo is only at the peak of foundation building. With the suppression of the Heavenly Way, he can mediate with Uncle Gu and Xia Diansi in the Golden Dan Realm.
Isn’t it a way to die if you enter the third rank realm?
Gu Changhuai''s eyes were cold, "This evil beast is indeed looking for death. As soon as he entered the third-grade waters, he had no limit on his cultivation. I used the power of the golden elixir and cut off his arm with just a wind blade."
Ink painting was a little surprised.
Gu Changhuai seemed to understand Mo Hua''s idea and glanced at him, "Don''t you really think that I can''t beat the foundation of building a golden elixir, right?"
Mo Hua shook her head repeatedly and said embarrassedly: "How could it be?"
Gu Changhuai looked unhappy and then frowned:
"When I saw the next wind blade, I could take the life of Shui Yanluo... At this moment, someone took action to save him."
The eyes of the Mo Hua narrowed, "Who?"
Gu Changhuai shook his head and looked solemn, "This person has a deep cultivation level, but he has hidden his head and tail, and does not use any of his own Taoism. After saving Yan Luo, he dived into the water and didn''t know where he went, and he couldn''t find it no matter how hard he looked for it."
"It seems like there is a layer of fog that covers everything..."
"Mist..." Mo Hua''s heart trembled.
Xia Diansi next to him said nothing, and sighed:
"Although Shui Yanluo escaped, fortunately, the bandit camp was destroyed and the water bandits were wiped out. This time, the bandit suppression was quite effective, and there will be rewards from Daotingsi in the future."
After saying that, she looked at Mohua again and her voice became gentler, "This time, thanks to your help, I will apply to the higher authorities to give you more meritorious contributions."
Mo Hua said, "Thank you, Sister Xia."
Xia Diansi has become accustomed to the title of "Sister Xia".
Especially in this operation, I truly saw the talent and attainments in the Form Painting Form formation. Xia Diansi was even more repulsive to Mo Painting for calling her "sister".
"I still have some things to deal with aftermath. You can take care of yourself. After dawn, we will go home." Xia Diansi said.
"Yes." Mo Hua nodded.
Xia Diansi looked at the ink painting gently and left.
Mo Hua was a little curious and asked Gu Changhuai quietly, "Shui Yanluo ran away, Sister Xia doesn''t seem to be in a hurry?"
Gu Changhuai took a light look at the ink painting.
Ink Hua also stared at Gu Changhuai.
Gu Changhuai was helpless, then sighed and said:
"Shui Yanluo is a fish, but it is also a bait. Now that there are bigger fish that eat the bait, there is naturally nothing wrong with it."
"Although this big fish swallowed the bait and ran away, it was at least exposed to the water."
"Is this the Qianxuezhou community or the Daoting is planning. No matter how big the fish exposed to the water are, you are not afraid of it. What you are afraid of is that you hide at the bottom of the water and don''t show your head."
Mo Hua suddenly realized and nodded.
For Daoting and the Xia family, the extermination of the water bandits this time is not the end, but just the beginning.
The situation in the future will probably be more complicated.
I don’t know if I can still take advantage of the troubled waters…
While Mo Hua was thinking, Gu Changhuai suddenly asked him: "By the way, why did Shui Yanluo chase you with red eyes?"
Ink painting was stunned.
Because I snatched his life...
Gu Changhuai looked at the ink painting silently.
Mo Hua coughed and said vaguely:
"Because... he ran away secretly packed up his things and was knocked out by me, so he was so angry that he wanted to kill me. Uncle Gu, you know, people like Shui Yanluo are very slim..."
When Gu Changhuai heard this, he knew that ink painting was nonsense.
But then I thought about it, it seems normal for these bandits to kill ink paintings.
Sometimes he couldn''t help but strangle this kid to death.
Gu Changhuai suddenly felt a little empathized and stopped pursuing this issue.
"I have something to do, so stay honestly and go back together later." Gu Changhuai said.
"Yes." Mo Hua agreed.
Then Gu Changhuai also stood up and left.
Gu Changhuai and Xia Diansi are both busy with the aftermath.
The surroundings were empty, except for the corpses of the water bandits, only Mo Hua himself was left.
He was a little bored, so he continued to jump onto the platform, sat on the edge of the platform, and looked at the scenery in the distance.
Half an hour later, it was Mao hour.
The east is already white, and the sun rises little by little, dispelling the mist on the island. The bright rising sun shines on the corpses of the water bandits all over the ground.
Mo Hua sat on the platform, silently watching the sun rise.
And the water bandits on the ground could no longer be seen under his feet.
…
Another hour passed, the Daotingsi''s aftermath was finished.
This is faster than Xia Diansi expected.
Because Mo Hua had already turned over the island, they just had to count the heads, count the stolen goods, and then take them back to Daotingsi together.
The ink paintings were translated very cleanly, which saved them a lot of trouble.
Xia Diansi sighed in his heart.
After counting, people gathered.
Some undead water bandits were also knocked out, **** with chains, and taken back to Daotingsi.
After that, everyone boarded the spiritual boat and returned home.
When we came, it was still at night, the river was cool and the surroundings were dull and a little depressed.
When I went back, it was already morning, and the sun was clear, sprinkling on the river surface, sparkling.
Everyone felt a little relieved.
Only Xiao Tianquan looked silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
After walking for more than half an hour, the spiritual boat was docked, and the group stepped onto the ground, and felt much more at ease.
After returning, the injured will be treated and the injured will be given pensions. The matter of encirclement and suppressing water bandits will come to an end for the time being.
Fighting, killing, casualties are inevitable.
The monks who have worked in the Daotingsi have also known this.
Although Mo Hua felt regretful, he had done everything he could do.
Otherwise, the Eight Gates and Eight Trigrams Formation will not be broken. On the island where the water bandits are stationed, they will fall into the formation set up by the water bandits and fight hard with the water bandits. The casualties of the Daotingsi will be even more serious.
Compared with the results of the bandit suppression, the casualties this time are already very small.
After that, there was no ink painting.
He planned to go back to the sect first and study the good things he had just obtained. At this moment, a voice heard in his ear:
"Xia Diansi, do you want to check the storage bag?"
As soon as this said, everyone was stunned.
Xia Diansi was also a little surprised.
Gu Changhuai''s eyes were a little cold, looking at the person who was talking.
The person who speaks is Xiao Tianquan.
Xia Diansi said lightly: "Hasn''t you checked it?"
According to the rules of Daotingsi, all monks of Daotingsi cannot bring their own storage bags when performing tasks.
When performing special tasks, Daotingsi will provide a unified storage bag for the Dianshi and the Chiefs to store their own spiritual weapons, as well as some spiritual stones and elixirs specially provided by Daotingsi.
After the task is completed, the storage bags will be collected and verified one by one.
This is used to confirm that when the monks in the Daoting Department perform their tasks, they will not hide "stolen goods" and will fill their personal pockets.
This rule naturally cannot eliminate "hiding privately" in percentage, but it is no problem to eliminate 80% or 90%.
This is enough.
No rules cannot take effect 100%. If they can eliminate most corruption, they will be considered effective.
Previously on the island, Xia Diansi naturally followed the convention and checked the storage bags of all monks.
"I have checked it, but not all..." Xiao Tianquan said, and then silently glanced at Mo Hua, "I didn''t check this little brother''s storage bag."
He looked serious and took the attitude of "official affairs".
Xia Diansi couldn''t help frowning.
Gu Changhuai looked cold, "He is not from my Daotingsi."
Xiao Tianquan said with a solemn expression: "Although he is not from Daotingsi, he should follow the rules of Daotingsi when he works with Daotingsi..."
Xiao Tianquan looked at Gu Changhuai with his eyes shining, "Is it that Gu Diansi wants to cover up this little brother?"
Gu Changhuai''s eyelids twitched slightly, and his eyes became even colder.
The atmosphere was a little stiff for a moment.
Xia Diansi turned his head and looked at the ink painting, looking embarrassed.
Logically speaking, it should be checked.
But the situation of ink painting is special. If no one mentioned it, no one would be so ignorant and would want to check his storage bag as a young monk.
But now, Xiao Tianquan mentioned it, so he had to "exaggerate".
Otherwise, it would be difficult for her, Xia Jiadiansi, to convince the public.
The Xia family is full of geniuses, and the competitive pressure among disciples is also extremely high.
She can order everyone, but she will inevitably be criticized behind the scenes.
But if you really want to check ink painting...
Xia Diansi looked at the ink painting and asked for his eyes.
Mo Hua touched the thumb of his right hand, and the neck ring connected to his flesh and blood and could not be seen by others, nodded and said:
"Everyone has checked, so I am no exception."
He looked calm and readily handed the storage bag to Xia Diansi. Xia Diansi looked at the ink painting unexpectedly, and then his spiritual sense sank into the storage bag and took out all the things inside.
There are spirit stones, but not many.
Some spare elixirs have their marks on them, and some have their Gu family marks on them.
These elixirs were given to Mo Hua by Elder Murong and Wen Renwan.
In addition, there are some spiritual swords, spiritual weapons, array coals, etc.
But at first glance, they all came from serious things, and there was no "stolen goods" of the water bandits.
The only unusual thing is the array diagram.
A large number of array diagrams, densely packed, layer by layer, stacked together.
Moreover, the components of these array diagrams are also very complex.
There are Taixu Sect, Shangguan family, Wenren family, Gu family, and some are plundered from the island.
From the first-grade first-grade to the second-grade high-grade, there are everything and a wide range of things.
The five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the Gen Mountain Formation, Li Fire Formation, Dui Ze Formation, Kan Water Formation, and some Yuan magnetic formations among the Eight Trigrams, etc., are all available in various ways.
Everyone took a breath of cold air.
Even cultivators who do not understand formations probably know the profoundness and complexity of these formations.
And the more you understand the formation, the more you understand the difficulty of studying these formation diagrams.
Be able to carry so many and so complex formation diagrams with you, this little brother must have an extremely profound formation inheritance, and his attainment of formation must be good. His perseverance and perseverance in learning formations are also different from ordinary people. In the future, the formation will probably be limitless.
The eyes of the officers looking at Mo Hua seemed very respectful.
Xia Diansi was also a little surprised.
A array full of storage bags…
No wonder he has such a brilliant formation at a young age.
Good talent, high understanding, and so diligent and studious, it is really commendable at his age...
Xia Diansi breathed a sigh of relief.
She was indeed a little nervous before.
She thought that ink painting was not very old after all, and she lacked concentration. She turned over the island and would more or less "deduct it".
This is also human nature, and even some classics cannot avoid the common people.
But she didn''t expect that Mo Hua''s mind was so upright and open, and she had no money for ill-gotten gains.
As for these array diagrams...there are already complicated and it is difficult to find out.
Even though there are really some array pictures inside, which were plundered from the island by Mohua, no one dares to gossip at this time.
The formation master is already respected.
It is natural for the formation master to get a few extra formation maps.
Besides, the formation on the island was broken by ink painting, and he did not ask for special rewards. It is natural to get a few array maps.
It is because I judge a gentleman by the heart of a villain.
Xia Diansi felt a little guilty inexplicably, and he also looked at Mo Hua higher.
If this child enters the Daotingsi in the future and becomes a Diansi who upholds his original heart and is upright, he may also achieve great things.
Xia Diansi praised it in his heart, then looked at Xiao Tianquan and said calmly:
"Xiao Zhisi, how about it?"
Xiao Tianquan''s eyes were in the storage bag of the ink painting for several times, but he seemed a little unwilling to do so, but he still bowed:
"no problem."
Then he bowed to Mo Hua again and said with a smile: "It''s Xiao who is abrupt, please don''t blame me, brother."
Mo Hua smiled and said, "It''s okay, it''s okay."
Seeing that the ink painting was not concerned, Xia Diansi nodded slightly and ordered:
"Okay, go back."
After that, everyone returned successfully, and there were no twists and turns along the way.
But the ink painting is already confirmed...
This Xiaotian Dog is indeed looking for something.
Moreover, this thing is extremely important.
Even at this moment, he had to jump out of time and risked his guilt on Uncle Gu and Xia Diansi to check his storage bag.
"Because I don''t check now, once I return to Qianxuezhou and go back to my own home, Xiaotian Dog will never know if I have found something on the Water Island..."
"What did he want to find out from me?"
“What is so important?”
"Is it... the jade box of Shui Yanluo?"
Mo Hua stroked his thumb again, and after pondering for a moment, his eyes narrowed.
"No matter what, I have recorded this account..."
"I targeted me in public, and I dared to show my intention to kill me, and wanted to kill me..."
The eyes of ink painting are slightly cold.
…
When they arrived at Qianxuezhou, Xia Diansi and the others returned to Daotingsi.
Although Gu Changhuai didn''t say anything, he still sent Mo Hua back to the mountain gate of Taixu Gate.
He seemed to have seen something, but he didn''t say much, and just told Mo Hua:
"Be careful of the Xiao family, practice well in the sect, and don''t run around if you have nothing to do."
"Well, Uncle Gu, don''t worry." Mo Hua said.
Gu Changhuai nodded lightly, turned around and left.
Ink painting showed the Taixu Order and entered the mountain gate alone.
After returning to the sect, it happened to be noon.
Mo Hua first asked Elder Song to dismiss the fake, then returned to his disciple''s residence, bathed incense, removed his blood and energy, and changed into Taixu''s Taoist robe, and ran to class like nothing happened.
The elder taught the class and knew that the ink painting was supported by Mr. Xun, which was a "special case" of the sect, so he didn''t say much.
Other disciples also knew that ink painting often went out to "draw formations". Over time, they got used to it, so they didn''t feel surprised.
In this way, Mo Hua had just laid out the formation to suppress the bandits in the morning, and he went to class in the sect in the afternoon.
In the evening, after dinner, Mo Hua accompanied Yu''er to practice the formation for a while, then returned to the disciple''s residence, closed the doors and windows, and sealed the formation. Then he carefully took out the jade box he had stolen from Shui Yanluo from the Nazi Ring.
The jade box is very heavy to start with. From the outside, it is made of an unknown, water-blue jade material.
A picture is also engraved on the jade box.
In the secret room of Shui Yanluo, Mo Hua did not have time to look at it carefully. When he returned to the sect, he had time to take a closer look.
The severe prison, the hideous instruments of torture, all kinds of sinners who have suffered from various tortures are struggling, shouting, and wailing.
The water-blue jade box, **** prison picture.
It contains a strong evil spirit.
"Is this...a visualization picture?"
Ink painting is a little confused.
He let go of his spiritual sense, focused his attention, stared at the prison picture on the jade box for a long time, but nothing was abnormal.
No evil spirits emerge.
There seems to be no such thing as wronged souls and ghosts, and they are placed in the picture.
Apart from the cold evil spirit, the ink painting did not sense anything else.
"Isn''t it a visualization picture? It''s just a box?"
Mo Hua frowned and tried to open the jade box again.
But after trying several times, the jade box did not move at all.
Mo Hua squinted her eyes and looked at her, and then she realized that this thing looked like a "box", but there was no gap, no lid, and no lock, just like a whole "seamless" jade brick...
"It''s not a visualization picture, there is no evil spirit."
"No lock, no gap, no opening."
"I don''t know what''s inside."
Ink painting was a little helpless for a while.
"See a way to catch Shui Yanluo and ask?"
As soon as this idea emerged, it was rejected by Mo Hua.
Shui Yanluo was rescued by the Jindan and hid there. He didn''t know where he hid, but it was really hard to catch him now.
Even if you catch it, it will probably be useless.
With the nature of Shui Yanluo, if he knew that he had snatched his jade box, he would definitely want to swallow him alive, and his bones were chewed to pieces. He would never tell the secret of the jade box.
Then what should I do with this jade box?
It’s impossible to watch it, right?
Mo Hua was curious in her heart, and suddenly she felt an urgent feeling.
He really wanted to open the jade box and see what was inside.
Since I have learned a little bit of the secret algorithm and some ways of cause and effect, ink paintings occasionally have some inexplicable "intuition".
At this time, he had this intuition. This jade box may be crucial to him...
Could it be...
The heart beats slightly in the ink painting and creates expectations.
"If you can''t find Shui Yanluo, you can only find another person."
Another, the successor of the Suspension of the Suspension Gate.
A few days later, when it was Xunxu, Mo Hua took the time to go to the Gu family again. This time he did not look for Gu Changhuai, but found Yu Canghai.
This elder of the Hun Sect may now be the only surviving golden elixir of the Hun Sect.
Yu Canghai saw the ink painting and was very polite and bowed and said:
“My friend, long time no see.”
He is a golden elixir, and ink painting is the foundation building, but he treats ink painting more like a peer-like argument.
After all, in front of the disciple of Mo Hua, a sect with "strong background" and "deep connections", he, the down-and-out Golden Pill of the Water Jail Sect, did not dare to be arrogant at all.
Mo Hua also exchanged a few greetings, then he knocked on and asked some questions about the Hunter Gate, especially the inheritance form of the Hunter Gate.
But Yu Canghai was so cunning that he could answer in moderation without any leakage.
Neither appear to be evasive or offend ink paintings.
But I won’t say much to avoid revealing the secrets of the sect.
Mo Hua couldn''t get the news he wanted, and his eyes flashed slightly, so he lowered his voice and asked quietly, "A few days ago, I went to catch the water Yan Luo..."
Even though Yu Canghai was so concise, his heart jumped at this time, and he suddenly stood up, his expression trembling.
Seeing Elder Yu''s expression, Mo Hua knew that Uncle Gu did not tell him about Shui Yanluo.
Yu Canghai wanted to ask, but he didn''t know how to speak, and finally said in a trembling voice:
"This evil beast...he..."
Mo Hua sighed, "I''m not dead, I''ve escaped."
Yu Canghai was very disappointed and sat down dejectedly.
"But there seems to be something in Shui Yanluo''s hands, which is very strange..." Mo Hua frowned.
"Things?" Yu Canghai frowned.
"Well," Mo Hua nodded, pretending to be ignorant, and described to Yu Canghai, "It is a jade box, water blue, with patterns engraved on it. The picture shows a prison. Some people in the prison were tortured, with a look of pain and despair..."
Before Mo Hua finished speaking, he found that Yu Canghai suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his whole body was shocked and trembled:
"Water...the water ban box..."
The eyes of the ink painting moved slightly.
It turns out it is this name.
