Asking about longevity

Bone alchemy furnace, gloomy furnace fire, evil alchemy master.

This scene seemed familiar.

Mo Hua frowned and couldn't help but think of the bloody pill furnace, those weird herbs, and those monks who died in vain...

"These human traffickers are kidnapping monks to make human elixirs..."

Mo Hua's eyes were slightly cold.

The evil alchemist in the room was concentrating on controlling the green fire and refining the evil elixir.

The area around the alchemy furnace was very bloody.

Human skeletons, living hearts, etc.

These seem to be "medicinal materials" or "medicine guides" for alchemy.

Judging from the signs, it was obvious that an unknown number of monks had suffered at the hands of these human traffickers and this evil alchemist.

Mo Hua's heart sank.

"Those two children..."

With quick eyes, he scanned the alchemy room for a week, and finally found an ancient offering table in the center of the alchemy room.

At the top of the altar table, there is a statue of a river god with a human body and a fish face.

Two children were kneeling below, tied with ropes, their foreheads touching the ground, motionless, kneeling to the statue of the river god like sculptures.

It was Lao Yutou's two missing grandsons.

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned again.

These two children are still alive, but in very poor condition, with weak breathing and vague consciousness. I wonder if they were eaten by the river god...

"We must save the two children as soon as possible..."

He took another look at the alchemy room, then remembered everything around him and quietly retreated.

After retreating, Mo Hua walked around again.

After remembering the number, location, general cultivation level, and layout of the fishing huts of the black monks, he returned to the entrance of the village and found Gu An and the others.

"I found Xiao Shunzi and Xiao Shuizi." Mo Hua whispered.

Gu An and Gu Quan's eyes lit up, and Yu Dahe looked even more excited.

"But there are a lot of human traffickers..."

Mo Hua took out the paper and drew a simple diagram, marking the structure of the fishing house and the location of the man in black.

"There are nine people in total, led by the man in black and an evil alchemist who is in the late stage of foundation building."

"I know Dragon Crossing the River. He is in the middle stage of foundation building."

"I don't know the others, but they are basically all in the middle stage of foundation building."

Nine people, two in the late stage of foundation building and seven in the middle stage of foundation building.

Gu An and Gu Quan frowned.

There are too many people and the situation is a bit tricky.

Gu An pondered for a moment and said, "It's possible to save people, but after rescuing them, we may not be able to escape unscathed."

Mo Hua said: "Let's call in people and call in the people from outside to catch this group of traffickers in one fell swoop."

Gu Quan whispered: "Even so, I'm afraid there's no way to eat all these traffickers, there will always be someone who escapes..."

"It's okay." Mo Hua said, "I have a solution."

Gu An and Gu Fang looked at each other, but still followed Mo Hua's instructions.

Gu An began to pass orders by summons.

There are still more than a dozen Gu family monks stationed in the small fishing village.

Following Mo Hua's instructions, Gu An recruited ten people with deep cultivation, good body skills and experience in water, and told them one by one what to pay attention to when entering the well.

Including the direction after going down the well, the method of feeding the water demon, etc.

Then came the long wait.

Yu Dahe was very anxious.

Mo Hua was also a little anxious, but he had no choice but to rush into action. Even if he saved the two children, he would still be able to alert others and surround him.

Acting in such a hurry will lead to bad things.

In this case, it is better to mobilize manpower, prepare carefully, and get it done once and for all.

Moreover, although the leader in black was sacrificing the two children to the River God for "eating", Mo Hua just saw that this kind of sacrifice was not simply "eating".

There must be other secrets inside, and this kind of sacrifice will definitely last for a while.

For now, time is enough.

I don't know how much time passed, but Gu An's expression changed, he glanced at the order, and then said to Mo Hua: "Here he comes."

Mo Hua nodded and whispered: "Let them wait at the entrance of the village, and I will pick them up."

There is a blood mist outside the village, and there are blood leeches in the blood mist.

If he didn't lead the way, all ten Gu family monks would probably fall there.

Gu An nodded, "Okay."

Mo Hua stood up and walked through the blood mist alone, avoiding the blood leeches, and arrived outside the village.

Ten Gu family monks were stationed outside the village. When they saw the ink paintings, they all saluted:

"Hello, Mr. Mo!"

Mo Hua saw that their bodies were wet and they were holding dead grouper fish in their hands. Apparently they had just swum over from the water monster.

Only one person's right leg was stained with blood, and the flesh on it seemed to have been chewed off, revealing the white bones.

"When I was crossing the river, I was a step too slow and was bitten by that evil beast. I've already taken the elixir, so it's no big deal."

The Gu family monk's face was pale and he was enduring pain, but his expression was determined.

Mo Hua admired him in his heart, and then warned:

"Follow me later, remember, don't make any mistakes!"

The Gu family monk looked a little confused.

They don't understand much about evil spirits.

Mo Hua said: "There is a very dangerous formation outside the village."

Only then did they suddenly realize, and they all cupped their hands and said, "I will obey Young Master Mo's instructions!"

Mo Hua nodded, and then took the lead, leading the ten people through the blood mist, avoiding the evil blood leeches, and followed the road paved by the Shinto formation into the village to meet up with Gu An and others.

This time, there were fourteen people on his side.

With more enemies and fewer enemies, I have the advantage!

Ink was drawn on the picture and several locations were circled.

"The risk is still relatively high in frontal combat, so we use an ambush..."

"Just follow the position I drew and ambush first."

"Then I will set up a formation and blow them up. I should be able to cause serious injuries to them, or at least minor injuries..."

"Separate two people and go rescue the two children."

"Others took the opportunity to besiege and capture this group of traffickers."

"Cripple their limbs, shatter their sea of ​​energy, and then lock them with spirit-binding chains."

"If there are any resisters, we will kill them without mercy. There is no need to hold back!"

Mo Hua said decisively.

The Gu family monk looked suddenly confused.

This young Mr. Mo is careful in his actions and decisive in killing, and he has the style of a Tao Ting Dian Si.

At that moment, they actually felt that it was Young Master Changhuai who had become smaller and was giving them orders.

Of course, there is one difference.

Mr. Changhuai doesn't know how to use formations.

Just talking about the formation...

Gu Quan said doubtfully: "Young Master, the formation must be laid out in advance. It seems there is no time to set up the formation now..."

Mo Hua said confidently: "Don't worry, I have a way!"

Gu Quan was startled, and then he couldn't help but nodded.

Professional matters should be left to professionals.

In terms of formations, he couldn't possibly know more than Young Master Mo.

Young Master Mo said yes, then it will definitely be alright.

"Wait a minute, I'll set up the formation first..."

As soon as Mo Hua stood up, he turned back after taking a few steps.

"Little Master Mo, what's wrong?" Gu An asked doubtfully.

"Wait a minute, I'll think about what formation to use..." Mo Hua pondered.

His previous idea was to use an earth-fire formation, but the fishing village was too dark and the fire-type spiritual ink formations were too conspicuous.

And this operation is to save people, try not to make any mistakes.

At least the risk must be minimized.

"We need to find a killing formation that is powerful enough, low-key, obscure, and painted on the ground inconspicuously..."

Mo Hua said silently in his heart.

Then he took out the Taixu Order, rummaged through it for a while, and finally found a formation that suited his liking.

Four hundred and seventy points of merit, second-grade sixteen-pattern formation, Earth Killing Formation!

Although it hurt a little, Mo Hua bought it without hesitation.

Formations are for use, merit is for spending.

After Mo Hua bought the Earth Killing Formation, the Taixu Order was delayed for a while.

Although this place is not on the border of Qianxue State, it is not too far away. The magnetism is a little weaker, but it is not completely isolated.

After a few breaths, the complete second-grade and sixteen-mark earth-killing formation diagram appeared in the Taixu Order.

Mo Hua perked up and started studying immediately.

Gu An couldn't help it anymore and asked in a low voice: "Little Master Mo, what are you..."

Mo Hua's consciousness was immersed in the Taixu Order. While using his hands, he made famous gestures on the ground and said casually: "Wait a minute, I will learn a formation."

Gu An opened his mouth, "Are you... going to learn now?"

Ink painting is a matter of course, “If you don’t know it, of course you have to learn it now!”

Gu An looked complicated.

That's not the problem...

However, he did not dare to disturb the ink painting anymore. A group of people looked at the ink painting quietly, concentrating on drawing some lines on the ground that they could not understand at all.

Mo Hua learned this ground killing formation very quickly.

Although the name of the formation contains the word "地", it is not a pure Bagua "Kun" formation. Instead, it focuses more on the authentic Five Elements Earth formation.

It takes into account part of the Bagua formation and is related to the earth.

Mo Hua is proficient in the Five Elements Formation and has communicated with the Dao Yuan of the Earth, so once he understands it, he can get twice the result with half the effort.

And it's not just that.

Since swallowing the divine marrow, Mo Hua feels that his understanding of battle tactics seems to be faster and deeper than before.

Some formations seem to be engraved in one's own instincts.

The marrow contains the origin of the gods.

The origin of gods is born adhering to the great road.

The formation is also the manifestation of the great avenue.

So, by devouring the marrow of the gods and refining the origin of the gods, one can become close to the great avenue and understand the formation more deeply?

Mo Hua silently guessed in his heart.

But no matter what, he is learning formations faster and faster now.

This ground killing formation is the same.

Ink Hua quickly made a few strokes of the formation pattern and copied it a few times, and then he roughly understood the formation method.

"I've learned it well!" After a while, Mo Hua nodded.

Gu An and others were stunned.

Have you learned this?

Is the formation so easy to learn?

If he hadn't known Mo Hua's personality, Gu An would have even suspected that Young Master Mo was teasing them...

Isn't it said that the formation is difficult to learn and master, and it is slow to comprehend?

Is this sentence wrong?

Gu An and the others couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.

Mo Hua didn't know what they were thinking, but said:

"I'll set up the formation, and you guys will ambush as planned. Once the formation explodes, you'll start immediately!"

Everyone came back to their senses and said solemnly:

"yes!"

Mo Hua nodded slightly, then disappeared again and quietly climbed to the roof of the big fishing house. First, he walked along the roof to the alchemy room and checked on the two children.

The two children are still kneeling in front of the altar, like three animals worshiped by the gods, but their breath is still there.

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

In addition, the evil alchemist was still refining elixirs, and the men in black and the Dragon Crossing the River were still drinking, and some were dozing off.

These people are defenseless.

The ink painting just started.

He took out several bottles of earth-based spiritual ink from the storage bag, and then took out a large number of spiritual stones, turned the spiritual stones into powder, and melted them into the spiritual ink to provide spiritual power for the formation.

Afterwards, the divine consciousness controlled the ink and controlled the spiritual ink to swim on the ground.

In the pitch-black night, the spiritual ink clung to the ground, like a poisonous snake waiting for murder, silently meandering and forming a formation, completely wrapping the fishing house.

Time flows bit by bit, the spiritual ink extends bit by bit, and the formation is also perfected bit by bit.

Mo Hua was lying on the roof, concentrating on drawing the formation, when suddenly his ear moved and he heard a sound.

"Master She..."

Master She?

Mo Hua was startled and distracted. While drawing the formation, he glanced at the fishing house with the corner of his eye.

In the fishing house, a person walked in.

With disheveled hair, wearing an alchemy robe, his face painted red and green, and his eyes crazy, he was the evil alchemist.

"This evil alchemy master's surname is She?" Mo Hua muttered in his heart.

In the fishing house, all the men in black stood up and saluted the evil alchemist, "I have seen Master She."

Master She looked arrogant and nodded.

The first man in black asked respectfully: "Master, has the elixir been refined?"

"Almost..." Master She walked straight to the seat. A man in black immediately stood up and made way for Master She.

Master She sat down calmly and said, "I'm tired from practicing. Let's get some wine."

The person next to him immediately poured wine for Master She.

Master She picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Then he smacked his lips, shook his head and said, "It's too weak... It doesn't contain a bit of human blood, it's missing a bit of flavor."

The first man in black said: "The wind is very tight today, the goods are short, I only have some plain wine, I feel wronged by Master She."

Master She didn't care and only warned:

"When you are in this fishing village, you must be alert and careful. Don't disturb the River God, otherwise I won't be able to save you."

Everyone was awe-inspiring when they heard the words, and they all bowed their heads and said yes.

Master She nodded and softened his tone, "In half a day, this furnace elixir will be refined. You can take it to the Young Master and I will consider it as a business."

"As for the next batch...I will cut open the heart veins of those two children later, use them as medicine guides, remove the bones and flesh, and use them as elixirs. I will refine them for another seven days before they can become elixirs. You can come back after seven days to get them."

Mo Hua heard this and couldn't bear it.

The first man in black looked overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you, Master She!"

"Yes." Master She nodded.

The man in black next to him poured another glass of wine for Master She with a wink.

Master She finished the drink in one gulp, his face turned a little red, his restlessness subsided a little, and he said in a rough voice:

"I'm going to make alchemy, please remember my words."

The men in black saluted again and said, "Yes."

After Master She finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the alchemy room inside.

Mo Hua patiently continued to draw the formation.

Lingmo sketches little by little...

Master She walked to the door. As soon as the soles of his feet touched the ground, he was suddenly startled and looked confused for a moment.

He lowered his head to look at the ground, his pupils changed drastically in an instant, and he immediately exclaimed: "Enemy attack!"

After saying that, he immediately rushed outside the formation.

Mo Hua clicked his tongue, feeling a little annoyed.

This Master She is obviously an alchemy master, but he can actually detect his own formation?

has a problem……

But it doesn’t matter, it’s just a little bit off.

The monks in the fishing house couldn't help but look shocked when they heard Master She's warning. When they reacted, their expressions changed drastically and they rushed out of the house.

Mo Hua's eyes turned cold and he no longer concealed it. He activated his spiritual consciousness to the extreme. The spiritual ink on the ground also suddenly accelerated like a snake turning into a dragon. It surrounded and closed, completely condensing into a large-scale, second-grade and sixteen-marked ground killing. Formation.

The moment the man in black inside the house was about to rush out, Mo Hua said crisply:

"burst!"

The five elements of the earth are shaking, and murderous intent appears on the earth.

In an instant, the earth sank, the quicksand turned into blades, and stirred up.

The entire fishing house was blown to pieces in an instant.

At the same time, not far away, two Gu family monks immediately broke into the alchemy room from the roof, and rescued the two children who were kneeling in front of the altar with their foreheads touching the ground.

The Gu family monks who were ambushing around the fishing house were slightly distracted due to the powerful killing power of the ground killing formation.

After a moment, the smoke dissipated, and they remembered Mo Hua's instructions, immediately drew their swords, and charged forward.

In the dead fishing village, murderous intent surged instantly.

The Gu family monks were well-trained and joined forces to cover up and kill the traffickers in black.

The black-clothed human traffickers were severely injured by the second-grade sixteen-pattern ground-killing formation, and most of them were seriously injured. Only the first black-clothed monk in the late foundation building stage suffered less serious injuries.

But despite this, he also felt a surge of energy and blood, and his legs were strangled by the earth spiritual power of the Earth Killing Formation. They were covered with blood marks and made it difficult to move.

Already at a numerical disadvantage, Mo Hua struck preemptively and used a formation to blast them to pieces. In the moment of the battle, these traffickers were at a disadvantage.

Ink painting can be used to find opportunities, control it with the water prison technique, or interfere with the fireball technique.

In less than half an hour, the dust settled.

Three of the Gu family monks were slightly injured.

Two of the traffickers died, their flesh corroded and turned into a puddle of black water.

The remaining seven people were all captured, their legs and feet were broken at the same time, and they were locked with soul-binding chains, including the dragon crossing the river, the first man in black, and the "Master Luxury".

Although this Master She has a high level of cultivation, he seems to have been refining elixirs all year round and has average combat power.

The strength is probably in the middle and lower reaches of the monks in the late stage of foundation building. Although they avoided the ground killing formation due to vigilance, they still could not escape.

The two children were also rescued, but they were unconscious.

Yu Dahe held the two children tightly in his arms, his eyes were red, and he looked at the ink paintings with great gratitude.

"Thank you young master, thank you so much..."

Mo Hua's expression was a little complicated and he was not optimistic.

He knew that the two children were in a strange state.

On the surface, the two children were frightened and temporarily fainted, but Mo Hua knew in his heart that a lot of their consciousness had been swallowed up.

Mo Hua looked at the two children carefully again, feeling a little confused.

It's not like a large amount of the divine consciousness has been swallowed up, but more like the entire divine consciousness has been "extracted" from the sea of ​​consciousness using a special technique...

"Withdraw?"

Mo Hua frowned, a little confused.

But he was not sure about these words and it was not easy to tell Yu Dahe.

At this moment, a deep laughter sounded in the room.

Mo Hua followed the sound and saw that Master She was bound by a spirit-binding chain, lying on the ground, smiling gloomily.

"What are you laughing at?" Mo Hua asked.

"I'm laughing at you," Master She said with blood in the corner of his mouth and a strange smile, "...rescued two corpses."

Everyone changed color slightly.

The ink painting has a deep and thoughtful look.
