Asking about longevity

Mo Hua is not worried about the situation on the island.

First, in this operation, he was "borrowing power", borrowing the power of Daoting to encircle and suppress these water bandits.

It's not his turn to worry about the Xia family.

The other one is because of the formation.

The formation on the island uses the formation principles of Bagua and Eight Gates, and is exquisitely conceived.

However, the formation masters who set up the formation were not very knowledgeable. The conditions on this remote island were also limited, so the formations they set up were relatively crude.

The layout is based on eight gates, but the inner Bagua formation is cut corners.

Although there are eight gates, there is no gossip.

It is difficult to collect the complete eight categories of Bagua formations.

Lihuo, Kanshui, and Genshan are better. They have something in common with the common Five Elements Formation and are easier to learn.

But other trigrams, such as Zhen Gua, which symbolizes thunder, Xun Gua, which symbolizes wind, Kun Gua, which symbolizes earth, and Qian Gua, which symbolizes heaven.

These types of Bagua formations are very different from the Five Elements pattern. The principles of the formations are unpredictable, the formation diagrams are also very rare, and there are very few corresponding inheritances.

Except for a few simple Xun formations, such as Zhen formation, Qian formation, and Kun formation, even Mr. Xun did not have half a page of formation diagrams to teach him.

Mo Hua is like this, let alone other disciples in Taixu Sect.

Similarly, among this group of water bandits, even in Guishuimen, there is no second-grade formation master who can really master all the Bagua formations.

And the Eight Trigrams Formation on this water island is incomplete.

Because it was impossible to make up the Bagua, most of the formations in it were actually made up of other Five Elements formations.

There are even some areas where there are no formations to make up the numbers.

This is the conclusion that Mo Hua came to after pondering it over himself and asking Elder Xun Zixian for advice.

According to Elder Xun Zixian, the real "Eight Gates and Bagua" formation is easy to learn and difficult to master. The pattern is not difficult, but it is ever-changing. It is a formation that only "masters" can truly master.

Mo Hua wants to become a master of formations.

Therefore, he had to study this formation carefully and improve it.

The formation on the small island is relatively rough and imperfect.

But on this basis, little by little improvements will be made to perfect the Bagua, and at the same time, appropriate changes will be added to the eight gates, especially the flow of the gate of life and the gate of death, so as to discover the power of the formation bit by bit.

This formation, spread out on this small island, is a waste of resources. Only when it is in your own hands can you make the best use of it.

Mo Hua nodded.

Time passed little by little, and the night became darker.

There was thick blood in the thick night.

The formations on the island follow the trajectory deduced from the ink paintings, and the eight gates are also constantly changing according to his prediction.

The chief executive of Daotingsi, according to the plan, surrounded and killed the water bandits.

Soon, the water bandits' defeat was revealed.

Some water bandits escaped from the island and fled along the Shengmen.

But as soon as they stepped out of the gate and landed on the ground, the originally empty place suddenly overflowed with muddy water and turned into a swamp, trapping the water bandits in it.

At the same time, the swamp turned into a whirlpool, as if a pair of hands were dragging the water bandits deeper into the mud.

"Damn it, who set the trap..."

The water bandit didn't finish his words, his mouth and tongue were blocked by the mire, and he had no way to draw on his strength. He struggled desperately, but it was in vain.

The monks from Daotingsi caught up and killed them one by one.

Bagua Dui System Formation——

Quagmire formation.

After thinking about it, Mo Hua felt that this was the formation that was most suitable for use on the island.

There is soil on the island, and there is water beside the soil. When the water and soil blend together, they turn into lake.

Most of the water bandits were trapped in the swamp formation and struggled to no avail, and then were killed one by one by the Daoting Secretary.

The water bandits who escaped from the swamp formation would be tied up in fishing nets as soon as they jumped into the river.

The fishing net is blessed with formations and is very strong and difficult to get rid of. There are also barbs on the net, which are quenched with poison. Once caught in the net, it can only be fish meat waiting to be slaughtered.

If someone is unfortunate enough to leave Mo Hua's nest and create a "death door", he will be chewed to death by numerous water monsters.

With Mo Hua's careful preparations, the water bandits had almost no chance of escaping.

The fighting continues.

There are more and more bodies of water bandits on the island.

Mo Hua estimated the time and felt that the water bandits were almost dead, the scale of the melee was small, and the threat on the island should be less, so he set off and quietly came to the island.

The soil on the island was soaked in blood and felt bloody and sticky when stepped on.

The corpses of water bandits were everywhere.

Mo Hua used the Little Five Elements Concealment Technique, let go of his spiritual consciousness, crossed the gate, and walked into the depths of the bandit's village.

If he found water bandits lying on the ground pretending to be dead along the way, he would add a fireball and send them back to the west, like a "little king of hell" harvesting lives.

Entering the bandit's village, it was a mess.

The fighting continues.

Fire, blood, mud, scattered corpses, and dense footprints were all intertwined.

Mo Hua made some guesses and could probably figure out the locations of Gu Changhuai, Xia Diansi, and a large number of executive officers.

After all, the route they took to break the formation was planned by Mo Hua.

But he himself didn't have to follow that route.

As of now, no one knows the formations in the bandit village better than him, not even Shui Yanluo, the leader of the water bandits.

In the consciousness, the transformation of the formation is clearly discernible.

Mo Hua looked deeply and sensed the flow of the formation, then found a correct direction and walked towards the core of the formation.

There are also some miscellaneous trapping and killing formations along the way.

But in Mo Hua's eyes, these small trapping and killing formations were extremely superficial and could not trap him at all, let alone kill him.

Mo Hua easily passed through these formations, walked invisibly for a while, avoided some scattered water bandits, and killed several seriously injured bandits, and then came to the center of the bandit camp.

Because everything is going according to plan now.

So this time point is just right, enough for him to do some small actions.

If Mo Hua is right, Shui Yanluo is in the center of the formation on the island.

Even if Shui Yanluo is not here, this is the center of the formation control and the key to the entire bandit camp. There must be secrets hidden in it.

I can sneak in first to see if I can fish in troubled waters and get some benefits.

This Shui Yanluo, who carries the inheritance of the Water Prison Gate, is a treasure and must not be let go.

But this time, Xia Diansi led the encirclement and suppression of water bandits, and the Xiao family intervened. Uncle Gu could not make the decision, and he could not go through the back door.

If Shui Yanluo is really caught and falls into the hands of the Xia family, then all the good things on him will not be his share.

At most, some spirit stones and merits will be given to him afterwards.

Although spiritual stones are good things, I don't lack them now.

Not to mention merits.

What Mo Hua has now is merits.

And the things on Shui Yanluo are all things that cannot be exchanged for spiritual stones and merits.

Therefore, if you want to have "meat", you must learn to seize opportunities.

If there are no opportunities, you must create opportunities.

At this point in time, he has carefully created the "opportunity" by using the Eight Gates and Eight Diagrams Array Theory and his suggestions on Xia Diansi's encirclement plan.

At this time, most of the water bandits have died.

The array can't stop me.

Shui Yanluo will be exhausted by the encirclement of Dao Tingsi.

I just happened to be invisible and fish in troubled waters.

About half an hour later, Uncle Gu and Xia Diansi will lead the Dao Tingsi monks to attack here.

This is the retreat.

If there is an accident, I just need to find a way to delay for half an hour and wait for Uncle Gu and others to rescue me.

Whether I can eat meat depends on this half an hour.

Mo Hua's eyes condensed slightly, flashing in the dark night, revealing the meaning of a hunter.

He hid himself and approached the center of the bandit camp.

The center of the bandit camp was a large stone camp with wooden fences around it.

This seemed to be the residence of the leader, the place where the bandits gathered for meetings, and the center protected by the Eight Gates and Eight Diagrams Formation.

There were many bandits defending the periphery of the stone camp, and some formations were also set up.

But these formations were not very sophisticated.

The most important thing was that there was no deliberate formation of formations such as imaging or dust, which were specifically used to restrain concealment.

Generally speaking, they really didn't need them.

But the current situation was a little unusual.

With his superb Five Elements Stealth Technique, Mo Hua quietly walked into the stone camp like a ghost.

No one noticed him.

After entering the stone camp, Mo Hua looked up and found Shui Yanluo in the hall.

At this time, Shui Yanluo and several people who looked like small leaders of the bandits were gathered at the table in the middle of the hall to discuss something.

It's better to say "arguing" than to say "discussing".

"...Who brought these sons of bitches from Daotingsi here?!"

"How the hell do I know?"

"Someone must have leaked the news..."

"There's a traitor among us!"

"The river around the village is dangerous, and I don't even know the way."

"I don't believe they can get into the village without a traitor leading the way."

"And the formation..."

"Didn't they say that this formation is as solid as a rock and can't be broken by others? Why is it like paper?"

"Advance and retreat, all calculated by others."

"What's the point of saying this now? The most urgent thing is to find a way to resist the enemy!"

"To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the country, do you understand?"

...

A group of people were arguing, holding their own opinions, and talking about it.

"Okay!"

On the high seat, Shui Yanluo, with fair skin and unruly eyebrows, had a solemn face.

It seems that Shui Yanluo is very prestigious. The bandits under his seat fell silent and dared not to say anything more.

After a while, someone finally said in a deep voice:

"Brother, Dao Tingsi is coming in, what should we do now?"

Someone shouted: "Brother, let's kill these sons of bitches!"

"How can you kill them? There are golden elixirs on the opposite side." The bandit next to him sneered.

"What about golden elixirs? This is the second-grade state boundary. If we really fight to the death, it is not certain who will die..."

"What the hell are you talking about? Killing golden elixirs when building the foundation, kill one and show me?"

"Fuck you, you look down on me..."

...

A group of fierce bandits started arguing again.

Shui Yanluo's face was as cold as frost, and he cursed in his heart, a group of idiots, who only know how to fight and kill, without any brains.

"Okay!" Shui Yanluo said impatiently, "As long as the green mountains are there, there will be no shortage of firewood. I have a backup plan. Let's leave through the secret passage."

"Brother, how can this be possible? Many of our brothers have died. It's too bad to just escape like this..."

Shui Yanluo swung his hand and a vicious water torture whip came over.

The little leader of the water bandits who spoke had a blood mark on his face and couldn't help but feel unbearable pain.

Shui Yanluo's eyes were cold: "Can't you hear what I said?"

The little leader immediately looked anxious and dared not say anything, and everyone else shut up.

Shui Yanluo nodded slightly, his eyes showing coldness, "The brothers' revenge will be avenged sooner or later, there is no rush. The most urgent task is to avoid their sharp edge first, and these accounts will be settled later."

"Yes!"

"Brother is right!"

"All is up to you, big brother!"

...

A group of bandits responded.

Shui Yanluo said, "You guys retreat first. I'll give you a stick of incense. After you're done packing, we'll set off..."

"Yes!"

A group of bandits stood up and said goodbye, leaving the hall one after another.

Shui Yanluo was the only one left in the hall.

Shui Yanluo's face was still as gloomy as water. After a moment, he cursed and muttered, "There really is a lackey from the Daoting Division coming here..."

Although the words were very light, they still reached Mo Hua's ears.

Mo Hua, who was hiding in the corner, frowned when he heard the words.

What does this mean?

Did Shui Yanluo hear the rumors in advance? But he didn't believe it in his heart, so he didn't take extra precautions?

Who told him?

While Mo Hua was thinking, Shui Yanluo had already stood up and walked towards the stone chamber inside the hall.

Mo Hua thought about it and followed him silently.

According to his experience, Shui Yanluo was most likely to pack up and run away.

Now that Dao Tingsi was at the door, he was in great danger. The things he packed must be treasures that were vital to his life.

Mo Hua followed Shui Yanluo into the stone chamber.

Inside the stone chamber, there was a secret room.

Shui Yanluo opened the door of the secret room in front of Mo Hua and walked into the secret room.

Perhaps because of the enemy at hand, Shui Yanluo was a little upset, so he did not notice Mo Hua following him quietly.

After entering the secret room, Mo Hua was also a little surprised.

This secret room was completely different from what he had imagined.

In his mind, there should be an altar in this secret room. As long as he found a way to get Shui Yanluo away and then sit on the altar, he could "order dishes" for himself.

Then he would wait to return to the sect and have a good meal.

The consciousness of the 19th pattern could also be further improved.

But in the secret room in front of him, there was no altar he wanted.

Not to mention the altar, there weren't even statues of evil gods.

This was just a simple secret room used to store various spirit stones, elixirs, and looted goods.

Mo Hua was greatly disappointed.

Although this secret room was obtained by Shui Yanluo after years of looting and was worth a lot, it was still much inferior to the real altar.

Mo Hua was disappointed when his pupils suddenly shrank.

He saw Shui Yanluo, who ignored the dazzling array of treasures in the secret room, but walked straight to the deepest part of the secret room, turned the candlestick, and took out a box from the secret compartment on the wall.

The box was wrapped in black cloth.

A cold and gloomy breath full of evil thoughts instantly spread out.

"Box..."

Mo Hua's heart jumped.

Shui Yanluo, who was always serious and indifferent, suddenly became very excited when he saw this box. His eyes flashed with excitement, and even his hands holding the box trembled slightly.

It seemed that this box was as important to him as his life.

Shui Yanluo carefully lifted the black cloth.

Under the black cloth was a water-blue jade box.

On the jade box, there was a solemn and cold Taoist prison picture.

The picture showed a prison, which was filled with all kinds of torture instruments. On each torture instrument, there were prisoners being tortured, suffering from torture and pain, wailing, struggling, and desperately calling for help.

The jade box was water-blue, but the picture was bloody, as if it contained cruel thoughts and cold evil spirits.

Shui Yanluo took a look and became obsessed.

It seemed that the prisoners who were tortured and died in despair in the Taoist prison were the most beautiful scenery in the world.

He couldn't help stroking the jade box and couldn't let it go. After a while, he remembered that it was more important to escape at this critical moment.

Shui Yanluo carefully checked the jade box again, and only felt relieved after confirming that the jade box had no damage or abnormality.

He covered the jade box with a black cloth again, and then wanted to put the jade box into his storage bag...

Just at this moment, a chill rushed straight to his head.

An extremely dark, but extremely cruel murderous intention rose from his back.

Shui Yanluo felt his heart tremble.

"Someone... wants to kill me?!"

The sign of death came, at this critical moment, he bit his teeth until they bled, and urged all his spiritual power to the extreme, trying his best to avoid the murderous intent behind him. At the same time, regardless of everything, he swung his long whip and killed behind him.

His efforts paid off.

The murderous intent behind him was extinguished.

Shui Yanluo reacted very quickly, and with his long whip, his movements were sinister and swift, forcing the monks who attacked from behind to withdraw the uncondensed spells and dodge.

Shui Yanluo saw only a few extinguished flames from the corner of his eyes.

Although only some breath remained, it gave him a strong sense of oppression.

It seemed that if this spell was successfully condensed and he could not dodge in time, he would die on the spot.

"What kind of spell is this?"

Shui Yanluo's eyes trembled.

And who is attacking me? !

The fear in Shui Yanluo's heart subsided, and then he was very angry.

Almost, just a little bit, he was overturned in the ditch!

Shui Yanluo released his breath to the extreme, his muscles were knotted, the sinister water power flowed in his meridians, and his eyes were filled with murderous spirit.

But before he could see the enemy's trace, a murderous intent came from behind him.

The twisted firelight lit up.

The slight burning pain was chilling.

Shui Yanluo was shocked, and immediately dodged at a very fast speed, and whipped behind him with a backhand.

The fire went out again.

The spell was interrupted again.

That terrible spell did not condense.

Shui Yanluo breathed a sigh of relief.

And the despicable villain in the shadow, who had failed in two sneak attacks, seemed a little unwilling and anxious.

Shui Yanluo's heart moved slightly, and he said angrily:

"What a wicked beast, you dare to pull teeth from the tiger's mouth, you are really brave! Even if there is a powerful enemy today, I will catch you and torture you to death with all kinds of torture!"

Shui Yanluo's eyes were full of murderous intent.

This person only knows how to sneak attack secretly, and there is nothing to be afraid of from the front.

As long as he is careful, once he catches his flaws, he will definitely die.

But before he could think more, a ray of red light lit up in the dark secret room.

"Behind him again!"

Shui Yanluo sneered.

After two sneak attacks, he felt that he knew the attacker's methods very well, and immediately used his sinister spiritual power to kill behind him.

But this move was different.

The flames condensed very quickly, and the spell was completed in a blink of an eye. His back was already oppressed by the flames, and there was a slight burning pain.

Shui Yanluo was shocked, but then calmed down.

There was only a burning pain in his back, and the injury was minimal. It seemed that it was just an ordinary fireball spell, not the terrifying fire spell that made him palpitate.

"What do you mean?"

This fireball spell could only scratch an itch.

Just at this moment, another fireball spell hit his arm.

The arm was a little burning and numb, but that was all.

Shui Yanluo was even too lazy to check the injury, but sneered and said disdainfully: "With just this little spell, you want to kill me?"

But no one around responded.

Shui Yanluo frowned.

"Escaped?"

So easily, just give up?

What a coward...

Shui Yanluo raised the corner of his mouth with a hint of sarcasm.

But the next moment, he found that something was wrong...

The fireball hit his arm, causing a slight burning pain and paralyzing his perception. But at this time, the water spirit power was circulated several times, the burning pain subsided, and the perception gradually returned. Shui Yanluo suddenly found that the weight in his hand was wrong...

It seemed to be a lot lighter?

Shui Yanluo's pupils shrank, and he immediately looked down, and his mind was shocked.

He held the black cloth in his hand, and there was a jade box in the cloth. Even in a life-and-death battle, he never let go.

But at this time, someone cut a hole on the black cloth, and the jade box inside...

Disappeared? !

Shui Yanluo's lips turned pale, and he trembled with anger.

He understood it instantly!

First, he used a terrifying spell to make himself feel a strong sense of crisis and not be distracted.

Then he used ordinary spells to make himself numb and careless.

Finally, he used an extremely fast fireball to hit his left arm.

Taking advantage of the burning pain in his arm and the slow perception of a few breaths, he cut the black cloth and stole the jade box!

Shui Yanluo lost his mind in an instant, his eyes were bloodshot.

"Damn thief!!"

"I will tear you into pieces and grind your bones to ashes!!"

At this time, outside the stone fortress.

Mo Hua, who knew when to stop, pushed the Water Step to the extreme, holding the jade box, running all the way, his eyes shining.

Good stuff!

Big profit!

Run!

Then he set off a firework signal and shouted to the distance: "Uncle Gu, save me!"
