Asking About Longevity Chapter 737

Chapter 737 Sword Formation

An hour later, Mo Hua looked at the broken golden sword in front of him that was in tatters, with the blade rolled inward and completely charred, and fell into deep thought.

This precious, top-grade broken gold sword was completely useless in less than an hour in his hands.

 Ink painting confirms one thing:

 The sword formation in the Spiritual Sword will indeed self-destruct.

 At least the spiritual sword in front of him was destroyed.

　　Even though he had been careful again and again and used all the knowledge of weapon refining at his disposal, it was still to no avail.

 The Broken Golden Sword would rather die than surrender, and was completely destroyed.

 The sword array inside also burned to the ground.

Mo Hua didn't even have time to take a glance at it. He didn't even know what kind of formation system it used, or how many formation patterns it had in total...

Mo Hua sighed deeply, heartbroken.

 These two methods cannot be used now.

 Such secrets are not accessible to ordinary disciples.

Or, try to get a sect token that can break the Golden Gate, and see if you can do some tricks?

Divinity calculation can reversely deduce the formation pattern of the formation through the magic traces of the formation.

So…

 I have some difficulties with ink painting.

The sect order to break the Golden Gate is useless even if you get it.

Inquiry where the sword-making shop of Broken Golden Gate is, sneak in secretly, and steal the secrets of the sword array?

Mo Hua thought about it for a while and then denied it himself.

"Will not work…"

“The sword formation will self-destruct. Even if you steal the spirit sword, you cannot obtain the sword formation by destroying the spirit sword.”

What a waste of natural resources...

There should still be a sense of proportion between good and evil.

Furthermore, even if he was tortured, it would probably be useless.

Mo Hua mourned for a moment of silence for this high-grade spiritual sword, and then considered when to throw this "broken sword" to Master Gu to see if it could be melted in a furnace and used as waste.

This iron plate is used to deal with sinful cultivators, evil cultivators and demonic cultivators.

This is against the teachings of my parents, master, Mr. Xun, and the elders of Taixu Sect.

 I don't know anything about the advanced magnetic formation, and I don't know how to use it.

 Can I use the traces of sword energy to reversely calculate the top-secret sword formation sealed inside the sword?

Mo Hua took a breath of cold air.

The ordinary disciples of Duanjin Sect may have some disagreements with Taixu Sect and behave in a lowly manner, but their sins do not end there.

 Absolutely impossible at least for now.

Catch the Duanjinmen disciples and torture them severely?

 Does that mean…

Mo Hua himself is a bit unbelievable.

 Those disciples of Duanjinmen seem to be few clever, and few have strong spiritual consciousness. It is unlikely that they can learn such a complicated sword formation.

But for now, we still have to consider the "sword formation" first.

Since I can't go out to arrest sin cultivators, my improved formation punishment board has been out of use for a long time. Is it just right for the disciples of Duanjinmen to kneel down?

Mo Hua thought about it for a moment, then shook his head.

 Mo Hua was lying on the bed, thinking hard, thinking over and over again several times about the methods he could use, and suddenly an idea flashed through him, and he came up with a way:

 “Calculation!”

 He began to think about a solution to the problem.

　　It's too cruel.

Since you don't know in the first place, there's no point in interrogating.

“Then if you want to get a sword array, where should you start?”

What a great spiritual sword, it's just gone.

Moreover, this sword formation can amplify sword energy. It is so secret that even if it is not as good as the Five Elements Source Formation, it is by no means trivial.

But whether it can work or not, we still have to find a way to try...

Methods of punishment must also be appropriate, otherwise sooner or later you will become violent and become a murderous demon.

 The difficulty must be extremely high.

Then wouldn't he... be going against heaven?

Whoever shows sword skills in front of me from now on, I will also expose his legacy of swordsmanship!

 Suppose the sword cultivator passes through the sword formation in the spiritual sword and activates the sword energy.

The Sword Making Shop at Broken Golden Gate must be extremely heavily guarded. How could I, a young monk in the middle stage of foundation building, sneak in...

 The next day, Mo Hua found Situ Jian again.

“Situ, I need your help with something.”

Situ Jian was a little confused, and then asked: "Is it about breaking the golden sword?"

"No," Mo Hua said, "that sword is useless."

Situ Jian was stunned for a moment, and then he was completely stunned.

 “Abandoned?!”

“It's only been one night, how can a high-grade spiritual sword be scrapped like this?” Situ Jian was shocked.

Mo Hua said silently in his heart:

  To be precise, it was scrapped in an hour...

 “These are small things, don't worry about them.”

Situ Jian felt a little sad.

 How can this be a trivial matter? A top-grade spiritual sword...

 He suddenly felt a little sympathy for the pretty boy from Duanjinmen.

 A fine broken gold sword must have been worn by him and carefully maintained for a long time. However, it was ruined by his younger brother in one night.

Situ Jian subconsciously clenched his Lihuo Sword tighter.

　　A broken golden sword is useless once it is used up.

 My own Lihuo Sword must never fall into the hands of my little senior brother again!

Just when he was hesitating whether he should keep a low profile in the future, stop showing off his identity as a sword cultivator, and hide the Lihuo Sword safely in his storage bag, Mo Hua continued:

 “Lend me your Lihuo sword for a while.”

Situ Jian shivered all over.

Mo Hua immediately said gently: "Don't be nervous. I won't dismantle your Lihuo Sword. All you need to do is use the Lihuo Sword to activate the sword energy and show it to me."

Situ Jian breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but confirm, "Really?"

 “Yeah!” Mo Hua said firmly.

Situ Jian was relieved.

After class, Mo Hua took Situ Jian and went to the Taoist room.

 There are many disciples in Taixu Mountain, so it is not convenient to practice swordsmanship.

 Only the Taoist room is closed and quiet, no one disturbs it.

“Just keep activating the Lihuo Sword Qi and chop that Taoist puppet.” Mo Hua said to Situ Jian.

 “That simple?” Situ Jian said.

 “Well,” Mo Hua nodded, “It's that simple.”

Situ Jian didn't even ask what Mo Hua was going to do, because past facts proved that the younger senior brother usually had deep meaning in what he did.

If it's a matter of formation, even if the junior brother talks about it, he may not understand it himself.

 “Okay!” Situ Jian said simply.

 Then he sacrificed the Lihuo Sword in front of Mo Hua, activated the Lihuo Sword Qi, and struck the Taoist puppet with one sword after another.

Mo Hua was meditating aside, his eyes were dark, and the lines of heavenly secrets appeared. He used the secret calculations to increase the calculations, and began to deduce the Lihuo sword energy of Situ Jian.

Lihuo Sword Qi is a fire-based sword Qi, wrapped in flames and red.

 When we first saw it, there was only the shape of a scorching sword energy.

The ink painting stimulates spiritual awareness, and double images appear in the eyes, constantly trying to use heavenly calculations to deduce deeper qi.

Situ Jian, who was activating his sword energy, felt cold when he saw Mo Hua.

Although he didn't know what the younger brother was doing, he felt that his sword energy seemed to be getting a little insight into...

Situ Jian was frightened.

How can this be?

Senior Brother is not a swordsman, but he is just watching a few times. How can he understand the sword energy?

 “It's an illusion…”

Situ Jian felt a little uneasy, but since he agreed to Mo Hua, he couldn't go back on his word at the moment, so he could only bite the bullet and chop the Taoist puppets with one sword after another.

I don't know how long they had been chopping. Just when Situ Jian was getting more and more uneasy, he heard Mo Hua say:

"alright."

Situ Jian stopped his hand and turned around to see that Mo Hua looked obviously disappointed.

 Haven't calculated it…

Mo Hua sighed.

Situ Jian was silent for a moment, but still couldn't help asking:

 “Little senior brother, what are you going to do…”

Mo Hua said: "I study sword energy so that I can deal with Duanjinmen."

Situ Jian was slightly relieved, but he didn't quite understand what he was going to do with Duanjinmen and study his Lihuo sword energy.

 And just by looking at it like this, what can be seen?

Situ Jian looked confused.

Mo Hua was silently meditating on the side.

 It is feasible to use sword energy to infer the sword formation in the spiritual sword.

He was indeed able to calculate a little bit, but it was very difficult and he could only detect some vague traces of the sword formation.

 My own calculation method is still not strong enough.

Even with the bonus of scheming, it is still impossible to penetrate the top-secret sword formation.

However, I am not discouraged by ink painting.

This kind of thing is the same as drawing formations, practice makes perfect.

 If you can't figure it out once, then do it twice, three times... until you figure it out.

From then on, whenever he had free time, Mo Hua asked Situ Jian to practice sword practice in front of him. He used this opportunity to practice his skills and calculate sword formations.

 But Situ Jian had been troubled all the time, and Mo Hua felt a little sorry, so he decided to transfer some merits to him.

This time it was Situ Jian who felt embarrassed.

 “Senior brother, how could this happen?”

Mo Hua said: "Brothers still have to settle accounts. You are willing to help me out of love, but I can't let you suffer!"

Situ Jian still wanted to refuse.

Mo Hua said with a straight face: "Take what I give you, I don't lack this merit!"

 He has accumulated meritorious deeds for a long time, and now he is a rich man of meritorious deeds.

In terms of background, he is a casual cultivator, and his fellow disciples are descendants of aristocratic families.

But when it comes to meritorious deeds, he is truly a member of a "noble family". He is much "richer" than his peers.

Situ Jian accepted it gratefully.

He really couldn't refuse the sect's meritorious service.

After receiving the meritorious service, Situ Jian became even more serious and focused when he demonstrated Lihuo Sword Qi for Mo Hua.

 Let's not let the merits of our younger brother go to waste.

 As for the feeling of having the sword energy understood...

Situ Jian thought about it again and again, and still felt that it might just be an illusion.

 How could he be "seen through" when he used the Lihuo Sword Technique normally and used the Lihuo Spirit Sword to control the Lihuo Sword Qi?

If you just use the spiritual sword and use the sword energy, others will see through it, then wouldn't all the sword cultivators in the world be unable to use swords?

 This is obviously impossible.

　　What kind of sword cultivator is called a sword cultivator if he doesn't draw a sword?

Situ Jian felt at ease.

What's more, the kind-hearted little senior brother also paid a lot of merit to himself.

Situ Jian even felt that he could not judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

 And with Situ Jian's cooperation, Mo Hua's proficiency in calculating sword energy is also increasing little by little...  Just Situ Jian, he is not always available.

 Occasionally when Situ Jian has something to do, Mo Hua will hire other sword cultivators to demonstrate his sword skills to him.

However, the level of swordsmanship among these disciples is not very high, and Situ is the best.

In this way, Mo Hua practiced over and over again and deduced over and over again, constantly broadening the depth of calculation and enhancing his insight into sword energy.

 In his eyes, the sword energy gradually began to lose its shape, and it was no longer its original appearance...

Finally, seven days later, after countless tedious and step-by-step calculations on the ink painting, I suddenly had an epiphany.

 His mind suddenly became clear and his vision suddenly became clear.

In the vision of his spiritual consciousness, the bright red Lihuo Sword Qi flowing like magma gradually collapsed and disintegrated inch by inch, revealing the sharp sword marks hidden in its essence, like knives and axes.

These sword marks are the sword formations in the spiritual sword!

 Ink Hua was so happy that he immediately wrote down these sword marks with his brush strokes like wind and flowing water.

These sword marks look like formation patterns, but there are no curves, only sharp and straight lines, full of cold sword intent, as if they were chiseled out with a sword.

 This is...

 The Situ family's inheritance of swordsmanship: Lihuo Sword Formation!

It is also the Lihuo Sword Jue passed down by Situ Jianzu, at least the most critical inheritance among the second-grade Lihuo Sword Jue.

At this time, this top-secret sword formation was calculated by Mo Hua and restored...

Mo Hua raised his head and glanced, unaware of anything in the distance. Situ Jian, who was still concentrating on using his sword energy to chop the puppets, thought for a moment and then erased the sword formation he just memorized.

 At the same time, he also forced himself to forget about the Lihuo Sword Formation in his mind.

 This sword array cannot be kept.

 The sword formation is the top secret of the kendo family.

Once this Lihuo Sword Formation is leaked, it will definitely bring disaster to the Situ family.

Although Situ Jian was unintentional and did not know about it, he cannot be blamed, but tracing the source, the sword formation was leaked from him, and he could not escape his involvement.

 In this way, he is no longer a human being inside and out.

Since Situ calls him little senior brother and trusts him, he must not cheat him.

Mo Hua nodded.

 The Lihuo Sword Formation on the picture was erased by him, and the Lihuo Sword Formation in his mind was also forcibly forgotten by him.

Mo Hua felt relieved and said, "Situ, it's ready."

Situ Jian retracted his hand and said with some surprise:

 “Is it over?”

“Yeah.” Mo Hua nodded and said with a smile, “I'll treat you to something delicious!”

Situ Jian humbly declined a few times, and then went to the dining hall with Mo Hua for a big meal.

Although he is not greedy for these food and drink desires, he will never refuse the invitation from his junior senior brother.

In this way, Mo Hua invited Situ Jian to have a hearty spiritual meal in the dining hall on the second floor where his disciples lived.

Yu'er was naturally there, too, along with Yang Qianjun, Hao Xuan, Xie Ling, and Cheng Mo.

 The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves at the dinner.

But Mo Hua paid special attention to Cheng Mo, and even specially ordered a plate of elbows and placed it in front of Cheng Mo, "Cheng Mo, eat more."

Cheng Mo was a little flattered, but also a little confused, "Senior brother, didn't you treat Situ to dinner? Why do you always ask me to eat more..."

Mo Hua said: "Because next, it will be your turn to help."

Cheng Mo glanced at the spicy and oily elbow in front of him, patted his chest, and promised:

“Little senior brother, don't worry, I'll take care of everything.”

Mo Hua nodded, "Then eat more, and you won't be beaten until you're full."

Cheng Mo, who was chewing his elbow with his mouth wide open, was stunned for a moment.

 “Get...beaten?”

“Yes,” Mo Hua nodded, “I will get beaten.”

Two days later, in the Demon Refining Mountain, Mo Hua put three layers of armor on Cheng Mo, one layer of golden armor, one layer of soft silk armor, and one layer of fine iron armor.

"I'll call the people from Golden Gate to fight you later. You should be more arrogant and don't seek to win, just delay. The longer the delay, the better."

 Cheng Mo grimaced.

Hao Xuan was very confused, "Senior Brother, what are you going to do?"

 The ink painting was sold out, "You will know later."

Hao Xuan nodded as if he understood.

Mo Hua patted Cheng Mo's shoulder again and said, "Be aggrieved and get beaten more often. These three layers of armor are specially refined. Although they cannot withstand the sword energy, they can reduce the spiritual power and strength of the gold. You are strong." If you are strong, you should be able to hold on for a long time.”

Cheng Mo looked at the ink painting with a sad face.

Mo Hua said sternly: "This matter is of vital importance. It is related to the turf war between my disciples of Taixu Sect and Duanjin Sect, as well as the profits from hunting monsters in the future. Only you can handle such an important task!"

Cheng Mo didn't believe it, “Is it true…”

"I'm your little senior brother, can you still not believe me?" Mo Hua said.

 Cheng Mo looked a little complicated.

Mo Hua decided to finish drawing the pie and give some "jujubes" first, "You go and get beaten, I will pay you merit, one hundred merit in half an hour!"

Cheng Mo was stunned for a moment, "Really?"

Mo Hua nodded and said, "Pay now."

Cheng Mo suddenly felt a little shy, "I'm so sorry to have to spend so much money on my junior brother..."

“Forget it if you don't answer, I'll find someone else.”

"Don't!" Cheng Mo said immediately, "The other disciples will definitely not be beaten as much as me. I will definitely have to do such hard work."

He then confirmed: "Half an hour, just one hundred meritorious deeds..."

"That's right," Mo Hua said, "If you can delay it for five hours, it will be a thousand meritorious deeds!"

 A thousand meritorious deeds!

Cheng Mo's eyes were red.

Situ Jian and others next to him were also envious, but it was a pity that they were not as strong-blooded as Cheng Mo. They could not "resist beatings" as well as Cheng Mo, so they could not earn this meritorious service.

Cheng Mo immediately vowed:

“Senior brother, don't worry, let alone being beaten, even if you go up a mountain of swords and into a sea of ​​fire, as long as you say something, I, Cheng Mo, will never frown!”

"Okay," Mo Hua said helplessly, "Stop bragging, prepare quickly, take some health-reviving elixirs beforehand, and I'll find someone to beat you up."

 Cheng Mo chuckled silly and said, "Okay!"

Mo Hua left the crowd and wandered around the Demon Refining Mountain in hiding, looking for the chosen target.

 Not long after, he discovered the pretty boy from Broken Golden Gate.

The pretty boy "Song Jian", with a gloomy look on his face, led ten Duanjinmen disciples to search for something in the mountains and plains.

Mo Hua showed his figure and called out, "Little pretty face."

Song Jian was obviously stunned for a moment. When he saw the ink painting alone, appearing ten feet away, he was a little unbelievable.

How dare this little brat appear in front of him alone? !

Song Jian's white face turned red with anger.

 This is obviously not taking oneself seriously!

 It's too much to bully others!

Song Jian waved his hand and said coldly: "Catch him and beat him to death!"

Other Duanjinmen disciples immediately wanted to rush towards Mo Hua.

Mo Hua said, "You don't want your sword anymore?"

 “Stop!” Song Jian said immediately.

 A group of Duanjinmen disciples stopped again and stopped where they were.

Song Jian's eyelids twitched wildly and he looked at the ink painting angrily, "Where is my Broken Gold Sword?"

 It has become scrap metal...

But it was definitely difficult to say this kind of thing, so Mo Hua said vaguely: "Let's compete. If you win, I will return the 'sword' to you."

Song Jian's eyes narrowed and he snorted: "Why should I compete with you?"

“Let's forget it if we don't compete,” Mo Hua said casually, “I'll find a master craftsman to break your broken gold sword into scrap metal and throw it into the furnace to melt it…”

 “How dare you?!” Song Jian's eyes were about to burst.

Mo Hua looked indifferent.

No matter whether he dares or not...he has already done it and is just left with the last step...

Song Jian took a long breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

People under the eaves have to bow their heads.

 The sword was in Mo Hua's hand, so he had to compromise.

 “Okay,” Song Jian said, “I'll compete with you.”

“It's not you who is competing with me,” Mo Hua shook his head and said, “It's you who are competing with my 'big brother'.”

 The ink paintings slightly elevated Cheng Mo's status.

Song Jian frowned, "Your eldest brother?"

Mo Hua nodded, "Yes, that's the big guy who hit you with an ax that day."

Song Jian immediately remembered, thinking of the big man in the lead and the two axes on his neck, and the anger in his eyes became even more intense.

 “Okay, the old and new grudges have been settled together.”

but…

Song Jian's eyes darkened slightly and he looked at Mo Hua, "Why do you want to compete with me?"

Mo Hua sighed, a little confused:

“When we go to Demon Refining Mountain, we just want to hunt demon beasts and earn some merit. We don't want to waste time breaking up the Golden Gate with you, and no one will benefit from this.”

 “In that case, let's give it a try.”

 “If you win, we will return the sword to you.”

　　"If you lose, just stop breaking the Golden Gate and stop embarrassing us."

Song Jian frowned, secretly feeling that the ink painting was childish.

 The matter of Demon Refining Mountain is related to the interests of the sect and many disciples. How can it be decided in a duel?

Furthermore, how could one of his disciples, no matter how high his status he was, take charge of the matter of breaking the Golden Gate?

But the most urgent task is to win back the Broken Gold Sword first.

 He is now in the middle stage of foundation building.

 After reaching the late stage of foundation building, you must prepare to cultivate the "natural magic weapon". This spiritual sword is the embryo of the magic weapon. It is very important to you and you must not make any mistakes.

 A promise cannot be proved by words, and no one can take it seriously. Let's fool this brat first, agree to a fight, and then take back his Broken Gold Sword.

Song Jian then said falsely:

 “Okay, it's a deal!”

But what Song Jian didn't know was that the ink paintings were actually all nonsense.

He can return the Broken Gold Sword, because it is just scrap metal and there is no use for him to keep it.

But Demon Refining Mountain is such an important site, where you can hunt monsters, absorb monster blood, strip materials, and earn merit...how could he let it go?

Whoever agrees cannot agree.

Mo Hua nodded and said, "Follow me."

 After saying that, he turned around and left.

 Song Jian had some hesitation.

 The surrounding Duanjinmen disciples, most of whom were from the Song family, saw this and said one after another: "Young master, I'm afraid there is a scam."

 “I'm afraid this kid has ulterior motives.”

 “It's better to take a long-term view...”

Song Jian was hesitant, but Mo Hua kept walking forward without looking back. He was about to go far away.

Once Mo Hua really went far away, Song Jian was afraid that he would never get his Broken Gold Sword back in his life.

After struggling for a long time, Song Jian gritted his teeth and ordered: "You guys wait here."

 Then he immediately used the Golden Body Technique, transformed into golden light, and chased after him. He followed Mo Hua into the woods...
