Asking about longevity

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

"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 Fire Buddha.

With wine...

Mo Hua pondered in his heart.

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

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

It's a pity that that eye was taken away by Uncle Gu.

Otherwise, you can still study it yourself.

Mo Hua then asked, "Do you have something important to do, Your Majesty?"

If nothing happens, just get out of here...

It’s not convenient for me to say more. If I say too much, my secrets will be exposed easily...

Mo Hua felt a little guilty.

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. .

The Fire Buddha wrote:

"Recently, my family has always felt uneasy. Something seems to have happened..."

"I wonder if there is anything unusual in the palace?"

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."

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

Although you are afraid of being exposed, you can't weaken your confidence, which will make it easier to be seen through.

Mo Hua pretended to be displeased and said:

"This formation is the Eighteen Patterns Yuan Magnetic Spiritual Vision Complex Formation. The center is the brain, the spiritual vision is the eyes, and the Yuan Magnetic Vision is the ears. Even the slightest disturbance cannot be hidden from me... Mr. Yuan..."

"The palace is airtight, no wind can blow in, no rain can get in..."

Then Mo Hua struck first and asked:

"Your Majesty...doesn't it mean he doesn't trust Yuan?"

Fire Buddha paused and said slowly:

"With the master in charge, the Sa family will feel relieved."

"Well, don't worry."

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

"Master Mo" pretending to be "Master Yuan" felt his heart skip a beat.

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

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

"I drank..."

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

I don’t know if Fire Buddha’s words were truly curious or just testing.

Mo Hua felt a chill in his heart.

He's never drunk before, so how does he know how it feels?

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...

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

Mo Hua had a flash of inspiration and sighed:

"Even if you drink, you still can't see the mortal body with your naked eyes..."

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

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

"The naked eye cannot see the truth of this world."

"It is not something that can be accomplished overnight."

"The master is a little eager to get things done..."

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

"As expected of a venerable man, his true knowledge and insights are admirable."

"Master Yuan is overrated." Fire Buddha also said in a very humble tone, "The superficial knowledge of people who cultivate Buddhism is not worth mentioning."

Mo Hua didn't know if he should "praise" him again.

It stands to reason that since Fire Buddha is so self-effacing, he wants to agree with him and praise him again.

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

Even this person is the Fire Buddha.

The ink painting is a bit confusing.

Fortunately, Mo Hua didn't hesitate for long, and Fire Buddha praised him in turn.

"Master Yuan is proficient in formations, has spiritual power, 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 Majesty 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 can't see through it. If you are blinded by the Taoist mind and only have cultivation, no matter how hard you seek, you 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 told 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 roots’!”

Fire Buddha continued:

"These days, I have wronged Master Yuan..."

“The drinks are poor…”

"When the temple is completed, human beings 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 demon temple?

Demonic cultivators put a premium on themselves by calling them "holy" or "devil"?

And the Hall of Human Sacrifice?

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

It's just a "sacrifice of high-grade spiritual roots"...

Do sacrifices also need 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”?

The mood of the ink painting is complicated.

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-grade spiritual roots was given to "himself" to make wine...

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 saying that, doesn't it seem... 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 common people as stupid dogs, and build temples for the great cause. How can we be wronged? Your Majesty, you underestimate Yuan..."

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 wonder, Master, would you like to take refuge in Buddhism?"

Mo Hua was stunned again.

This Fire Buddha wants to make me believe in Buddhism?

"That's not right. He doesn't know that 'I' is 'I'. He wants to make the dead 'Master Yuan' believe in Buddhism..."

But believe in Buddhism?

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

"No," the Fire Buddha said firmly: "Master's wisdom is extraordinary. He just returned to his original nature. He was not as showy as before..."

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

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!"

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

"All living beings are born equally, and naturally they will die equally."

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

"It's just to extradite a person who will die in the future to his own fate in advance."

"Since you are cultivating demons, you will inevitably kill people."

"After killing a person, it is inevitable that he will be riddled with resentment, which will pollute his heart..."

"Belief in Buddhism can calm resentments, suppress evil spirits, and keep one's original intention..."

"It is said to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately."

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

"Even if you are killing people, 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 sins to redeem, why should you eat fast or recite Buddha's name?"

…

Mo Hua was shocked.

This Fire Buddha is truly a talent.

What the hell is he cultivating...

Can this be called "Buddha"?

"What does Master Yuan want?" Fire Buddha said again.

Mo Hua cursed in his heart.

You go ask "Master Yuan", don't ask me.

It's impossible for me to promise you on behalf of the dead "Master Yuan"...

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

"How can Buddhism be so accessible?"

"So knowledgeable indeed!"

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

"Master, you can give it a try..."

The ink painting said vaguely: "One day, I will definitely consult the Venerable again and explore the profoundness of Buddhism together..."

"Okay." Fire Buddha said: "Master Yuan is busy with business, so I won't disturb you anymore. I will discuss the Tao with Master Yuan another day."

After that, there was no news about Fire Buddha. I don’t know what he was busy with.

Mo Hua's expression became solemn.

I struck up 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 Dao and Buddhism. I really want to ask him:

"What's in the inner sanctum?"

"Your Fire Meteor Technique is so powerful. Where is the secret book hidden?"

Or questions like "You wiped out the entire Xie family, what are you trying to do...".

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 his "lively" self, who is 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 assassinate him?"

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 three hundred 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 left in the inner hall...

Mo Hua frowned.

We can't wait for the Fire Buddha to react and then think of a solution. By then it will be too late...

"You need to make plans early and find a way to solve the problem quickly..."

Delay will lead to change.

Mo Hua immediately sent a message to Gu Changhuai:

"Uncle Gu, call for people quickly and surround the Demon Palace..."

Gu Changhuai's expression darkened, "Were we discovered?"

"Not really," 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'll 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 two hundred demon cultivators in the outer hall and the middle hall.

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

The demon cultivators were eliminated one after another.

While Mo Hua was controlling the Yuan Magnetic Rejuvenation Formation and giving orders to the demon cultivators to send them to their deaths, Mo Hua also used the dead demon cultivators' Book of Demonic Orders to chat with other living demon cultivators to cover up the truth 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. Someone is killing people. Woodcutter Liu Liu, go and have a look..."

Mo Hua was shocked.

Found!

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

Mo Hua was waiting in the array's privy room.

Before leaving, he had to do some tricks.

The Yuanci Spiritual Vision Restoration Formation cannot be destroyed yet.

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 Yuanciling Vision Complex Formation, temporarily preventing others from using it.

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

Because it hadn't been dead for too long and hadn't rotted yet, but it wasn't easy to throw away, I had to 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 other three 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 few 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 easy and familiar.

In the center of the complex formation, after monitoring it for so long, Mo Hua already knew the structure of the Demon Palace.

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

On the way, Mo Hua asked in a low voice:

"Uncle Gu, have you all called out?"

Gu Changhuai nodded, "We are all 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 demon cultivators in the Demon Palace have died, and now there are estimated to be only about 1,890 of them.

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

I can't stay here anymore.

Mo Hua could stay for a while, but it was a bit dangerous after all. Without bodyguards, he wouldn't be brave.

And there are other things to do…

Gu Changhuai wanted to go back and command the 280 officers of the Daoting Division.

Mo Hua also had to 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 was 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 Lao Liu frowned and walked around, but he didn't see a single person.

Qiao Lao Liu was puzzled.

The Devil's 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 Fu River from the corner of his eye 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!"

After a while, 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 palace 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 cultivate the evil spirit of fire..."
