Asking about longevity

"What is this...?"

Mo Hua frowned, pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered that he had seen this thing before.

When he "ordered food" at the altar of the Bloody Fishing Village for the first time, he sensed this strange and deformed but very powerful node.

That was his first time ordering food, and he was unsure. He was afraid of the strong evil spirit of this node and did not dare to order it.

But he did not expect to encounter it again now.

"What kind of monster is hidden in the nightmare of this node...do you want to order it and take a look?"

Mo Hua held his chin and pondered for a moment, a little undecided.

He sensed this node again.

Before, he did not sense it deeply. Now that he has achieved a small success in the way of God and is "possessed" by the evil fetus, he is considered a rare master of the way of God in the second level.

Although he is a master of the way of God, the composition is very complex, half human, half god, and now there is still a small half of the evil god.

But because of this, his perception of this chaotic and abnormal "monster" is also clearer.

The monster in the node has an evil and mixed aura, as if it is a mixture of all kinds of flesh and blood, all kinds of creatures, and different demons, with a certain embryo as the core.

It has the aura of the evil god, which is very strong. To some extent, it is not weaker than the evil fetus.

But at the same time, it is full of all kinds of filthy flesh and blood, deformed evil thoughts, demon limbs, and even a trace of... evil aura.

Mo Hua frowned.

Before, he only thought it was a "big guy".

But he didn't expect that this big guy might be much stronger than he expected.

Now it seems that it was right to be cautious before.

If he had not achieved the Shinto at the altar of the small fishing village, and had not mastered the divine mind sword and the Shinto formation, and rashly provoked this "big guy", it would definitely be dangerous...

Mo Hua sighed.

Sure enough, there are countless dangers hidden in the Shinto. Even if he has the strength comparable to that of the gods, he still has to be careful in the future.

Especially this little lamb, he made me suffer a great loss, I must learn from it in the future.

As for this big guy, forget it for now, I will talk about it when I am stronger in the future...

Mo Hua said silently in his heart.

What's more, I ordered dishes with Yu'er as "bait".

If the monster is too strong, Yu'er will be in greater danger.

It's better to be safe.

Thinking of this, Mo Hua suddenly regretted it.

"I ordered too many dishes in a moment of impulse..."

This time he was calculated and possessed by the evil fetus. He was angry for a while and ordered too many demons.

These demons will invade Yu'er's nightmare and put pressure on Yu'er.

Mo Hua felt a little distressed, "How about canceling some?"

He sat on the altar again and communicated with the tree of divine power, but found that it was easy to place an order, but it was difficult to cancel it. Moreover, changing the established nightmare path and reversing cause and effect involved certain heavenly secrets, and even consumed a lot of divine thoughts.

Mo Hua was a little stupid.

But he thought about it again and felt that it should be fine.

Although his soul was polluted and the Jingshen Sword was "sealed", it could not exert its original strength for the time being.

But those who invaded Yu'er's nightmare were just ordinary demons.

With the power of the Tao of his 19-pattern consciousness, even if he did not rely on the complex sword of the divine mind and did not use the power of the soul, it was enough to crush these evil spirits.

Ordinary demons are not worthy of using the Jingshen Sword.

At that time, fighting and eating, fighting to support fighting, can also solve the problem of consumption.

As long as he thinks of some ways to protect Yu'er, it should not be a big problem.

Mo Hua nodded and prepared to leave the altar.

But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly found that there seemed to be something strange on the altar.

Before, he was busy fighting with the evil fetus and ordering dishes, and he had no time to spare.

At this time, the surroundings became quiet and the dishes were ordered. Mo Hua suddenly realized that this altar seemed to be very strange.

When I sat on the altar, it seemed that there were evil desires feeding me.

But these desires were not strong.

Mo Hua practiced meditation and often cleansed his evil thoughts. His heart was clear, so when he encountered desires, he subconsciously abandoned them.

But now, when he savored them carefully, these desires were a little strange.

Beautiful and charming, greedy and murderous, angry and lustful, different from the evil thoughts of evil spirits, but more like the manifestation of various desires in people's hearts.

These desires, with the help of some kind of cause and effect, flowed into the altar and fed Mo Hua.

No, to be precise, it was feeding the evil god "evil fetus" that had been integrated into his Fu Shi Po.

After Mo Hua pondered for a moment, he suddenly realized.

He understood the cause and effect logic of the operation of the altar of the Dragon King Temple.

The evil fetus is the master of the Dragon King Temple.

Everything in this temple is to raise this evil fetus, let it be reborn, and hatch into a god.

The blood pool is the "amniotic fluid" of this evil fetus.

The temple keeper and Mr. Wu are the slaves of this evil fetus.

The Rouge Boat is the "rice bowl" of this evil fetus.

And on the Rouge Boat, all the desires, greed, infatuation, delusion, evil desire, love, hatred... of those monks are all the "bait" of the evil fetus.

Now that the evil fetus has merged into his soul, these "bait" cooked with all kinds of human desires are all offered to him.

Not only that...

Mo Hua carefully experienced it and found that what he was offering was not only desire, but also some obviously bloodier, more cruel, more cold, and the cause and effect of sin.

It was as if someone was following his "order" and committing all kinds of murders.

These murders also condensed into "cause and effect" containing sins, nourishing himself and incubating himself, that is, incubating the "evil fetus".

He didn't understand the key points here before, but now that he has transformed into an "evil fetus" and experienced it personally, everything has become much clearer.

"Desire turns into flesh and blood, and cause and effect turns into bones."

"This is... the way to cultivate the evil fetus and transform into the evil god."

"'Desire' comes from Yanzhizhou, so where do the cause and effect of these 'sins' come from?"

Mo Hua frowned, and then his mind moved slightly. His mind withdrew from the nightmare and searched around the altar of reality for several times. Finally, in front of the altar, on the altar, he found a strange thing on the altar.

It was a blood stele without words.

The stele was soaked in blood, but there was no text.

It seemed that someone had dipped in blood and written something on it.

But the words on this stele were not meant for "people" to see, so after they were written, they were integrated into the stele along with the blood.

This is more like a "soul" contract.

Others can't see it, but Mo Hua can.

Although it is blurry, he can still see the faint words on the seemingly wordless blood stele.

These words are names.

Mo Hua looked at it, and suddenly his heart sank, and he quickly took out a jade slip from his storage bag.

This jade slip is exactly the list of Boss Jiang.

It is also the blood oath list of those sinful cultivators headed by Fire Buddha and Water Yama.

The names on the two lists are almost exactly the same.

"The root is here..."

Mo Hua finally figured out what this list is used for.

This is a "soul contract".

The sinful cultivators swore blood oaths and left their names on the list, which is equivalent to selling out their souls and offering them to the evil god.

In this way, all the crimes and killings they committed will be transmitted to the altar through some kind of cause and effect, and sacrificed to the evil god, nourishing the evil fetus little by little, making the evil god stronger.

But these sinners themselves may not know this secret.

Moreover, there is one more thing...

On the surface, this is just a "list".

It is a list of "alliances" of sinners, a list of "protection" by the upper level, and a list showing "loyalty" to the Lord of the Great Wilderness.

But they certainly don't know that this is actually a "death" list.

Because Mo Hua can sense a breath of soul from the list of the wordless blood monument and from each name.

When signing this list, these sinners have actually cut off a part of their soul and offered it to the Lord of the Great Wilderness.

The Lord of the Great Wilderness controls their souls, in other words, their life and death.

Once the sinners betray, through this "soul contract" list, the Lord of the Great Wilderness can let them die in a moment.

"Sure enough, those who associate with evil gods will definitely not have a good end..."

"They probably don't know that their lives are in the hands of others..."

Mo Hua shook his head and sighed.

He wanted to study it further, but suddenly heard a "boom" sound, the ground shook, and it seemed that something was hitting the door of the inner hall.

Mo Hua's heart jumped.

"Someone broke in?"

"No..." Mo Hua remembered, "Is it Uncle Gu and the others who want to rescue me?"

He was shocked to realize that he had fought a fierce battle, ordered a big meal, and studied the altar for a long time. He didn't know how much time had passed.

Uncle Gu and the others must be waiting anxiously.

"Let's go out first..."

But when he looked up, he found that he was at the bottom of the blood pool. The blood in the blood pool had been drained, and now it was a deep pit. It was pitch black all around, and there was no way to go.

"How to get out?"

Mo Hua frowned. At the moment when his mind moved, the altar lit up, as if the formation inside was driven in the dark, the mechanism turned, the bones and stones were embedded, and a dull sound was heard.

The huge altar, supporting Mo Hua, rose slowly, as if supporting its owner.

Mo Hua took a breath of cool air.

"Is this altar... listening to me?"

"No, not just this altar, but... the entire Dragon King Temple?"

Mo Hua frowned and pondered.

The evil fetus is the owner of the Dragon King Temple.

And now, the evil fetus has merged into his soul.

The evil fetus is me.

I am the evil fetus.

In other words, now I am... the owner of the Dragon King Temple?

Mo Hua opened his mouth, shocked in his heart.

...

Outside the bone maze.

Many monks gathered together, including the Taoist priests wearing the robes of the Dao Ting Division, and monks from the Gu and Xia families outside the Dao Ting Division.

They formed a team of ten people, forming a formation, using formations, talismans, spiritual tools, and spells to bombard the inner alchemy's horn gate in turn.

Rumbles came one after another, smoke and dust rose, the ground shook, and gravel fell.

But no matter what they tried, they could not break the gate.

Gu Changhuai was anxious, and Xia Diansi was also worried.

Time passed by little by little, and the ancient horn gate, after dozens of attacks, remained motionless, and even the crack of the door did not open.

Everyone's heart also grew cold little by little.

Gu Changhuai finally sighed deeply and said guiltily: "Notify Taixumen, Mo Hua, I'm afraid..."

Gu Changhuai couldn't say any more.

He, who had always been indifferent to others, looked extremely lonely at this time.

Xia Diansi, who was standing aside, also had a sad look in his eyes.

After everyone got the order, they also stopped their hands and prepared to evacuate.

But at this moment, a dull "rumbling" sound sounded, accompanied by the sound of bones and stones rubbing against each other...

Everyone's expressions changed slightly.

They hurriedly turned their heads and saw that everyone had used all the means at their disposal. They had exhausted formations, talismans, spells, and spiritual weapons. The door had not been opened. At this time, they slowly opened the door...

A strange, nervous aura spread.

It seems that something "something" is coming out...

This door will never be opened easily unless...

Everyone's hearts trembled, and they all felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

But the imaginary, powerful and bloody enemy residing deep in the inner hall did not appear.

A head poked out from the crack in the door.

It's ink painting.

He looked left and right, and then he realized that there were a lot of people standing outside.

At this time, everyone's eyes looked at the ink painting together.

Mo Hua was a little embarrassed to be "stared" by so many people. He scratched his head and said shyly: "Why, it's so lively..."

Everyone looked dull, and their thoughts were a little messy for a while.

…

In a side hall of the Dragon King Temple.

There was no one else around, so Gu Changhuai and Xia Diansi checked Mo Hua from head to toe and found that he had no injuries, was mentally stable, and had no other abnormalities. They were really relieved.

Of course, there is actually a big abnormality in Mo Hua now, but they can't see it.

Xia Diansi took another deep look at Mo Hua, suddenly held Mo Hua in his arms, patted Mo Hua on the back, and said with a trembling voice:

"As long as it's okay..."

I don't know whether he is comforting Mo Hua or himself.

She is Noriji and has a strong sense of responsibility.

On the surface, Mo Hua was trapped in the inner hall to save them. If something happened, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

The ink painting was a little surprising, but also a little touching.

Xia Diansi looks cold on the surface, but is actually very soft at heart.

Gu Changhuai was also relieved.

If something unexpected happened to Mo Hua, it would be hard to explain to Taixumen, cousin Wan'er, Aunt Gu Hong, including himself.

"As long as it's okay..."

Gu Changhuai also said silently.

After his emotions calmed down and he saw that Mo Hua was safe and there was no one else around, Gu Changhuai asked doubtfully:

"What about Mr. Wu? He didn't do anything to you, right? What happened when you were in there?"

Mo Hua was already prepared and said half truthfully:

"That Mr. Wu seemed to want to sacrifice me to something, but maybe I was lucky. During the ceremony, the Mr. Wu suddenly died for some reason, and I escaped..."

Gu Changhuai: "..."

After a moment of silence, Gu Changhuai felt helpless: "That's it?"

Mo Hua nodded, "That's it."

"Died suddenly?"

"Yes," Mo Hua said, "It was very sudden, just a blink of an eye."

He was killed by me...

Gu Changhuai looked at the ink painting and sighed, "Okay."

Xia Diansi's expression was also a little subtle.

She really hoped that the ink painting would be prosperous and turn disaster into good fortune, but she did not expect that there would be such a way to "turn misfortune into good fortune".

This luck is so incredible...

Or maybe Mo Hua didn't tell the truth?

But now, neither of them has the intention to pursue it. In any case, it would be nice to come back safely.

Mo Hua looked around and asked, "Where are Senior Brother Feng and Senior Sister Qianqian?"

Gu Changhuai said: "I originally wanted to send people to send them back to the sect first, but your life or death is uncertain, and they are unwilling to go back."

"I don't dare to leave them in the inner hall. This inner hall is dangerous and unpredictable. If anything happens to them, there will be one Taixumen, one Taiamen, and one Baihua Valley. If you put the three together, I can't even explain it." ”

Gu Changhuai's head started to hurt just thinking about it.

"So I asked them to wait at the door. They should come over now."

After a while, Ouyang Feng and Hua Qianqian came over.

Seeing Mo Hua, both of them looked extremely happy.

Even Ouyang Feng, who had always been calm, couldn't help hugging Mo Hua and patting Mo Hua on the shoulder.

"Junior Brother Mo..."

Ouyang Feng was so excited that his body was trembling a little. He had thousands of words to say, but he couldn't say them. After a moment, he calmed down, then he let go of the ink painting, cupped his hands, and said solemnly:

"Junior Brother Mo, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness!"

"Senior Brother Feng, you're welcome..."

Before Mo Hua finished speaking, the fragrant wind hit his face, and he was hugged by Hua Qianqian next to him.

Before, Mo Hua's life and death were unknown, and Hua Qianqian still pretended to be strong. Now, seeing that Mo Hua was safe and sound, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Junior Brother Mo, it's great that you're okay..."

She wiped her snot and tears on Mo Hua again.

Mo Hua could only comfort her: "I'm fine, senior sister, don't worry..."

In any case, this trip to the Dragon King Temple was a success.

Everyone is safe and sound.

The three of them talked about old times for a while, and then Mo Hua asked Gu Changhuai to send Ouyang Feng and Hua Qianqian back to the sect first.

As the three of them parted, Mo Hua secretly told them:

"Senior Brother Feng and Senior Sister Qianqian, you must remember not to mention the matter of Rouge Zhou and Dragon King Temple to anyone..."

"I have also said hello to Daotingsi. Uncle Gu and Xia Diansi will also keep it secret and will not tell this matter."

"The Dragon King Temple is a little better. If someone really asks, you can say that you just happened to pass by and came with Dao Tingsi to save people."

"But you have never been to Yanzhizhou, and never mention it again..."

Otherwise, even if you jump into the Yellow River, you can't wash it clean...

Mo Hua looked serious.

Ouyang Feng and Hua Qianqian looked stern, looked at Mo Hua gratefully, and nodded.

After that, Mo Hua watched the two of them leave the Dragon King Temple on the Gu family's boat.

Then Mo Hua turned around and went to find Gu Changhuai again.

Gu Changhuai was a little surprised to see Mo Hua, "You're not leaving yet?"

Mo Hua said, "I want to search the Dragon King Temple again."

"Search the temple?"

"Yes." Mo Hua nodded.

While everyone was there and Dao Tingsi had enough manpower, he wanted to search the Dragon King Temple from beginning to end.

He always felt that since it was called "Dragon King Temple", this temple should be more or less related to "dragon".

Moreover, he has now melted the evil fetus.

In a sense, this ancient Dragon King Temple is already his.

As the master, he needs to "take inventory" of his own temple.
