Asking About Longevity Chapter 757

Chapter 757 The truth

The **** stream gurgled and flowed into the distance with no end in sight.

The blood flowing inside is unknown whether it is demon blood or human blood.

The stones by the stream have been soaked in blood all year round, and a layer of dried plasma has condensed, giving them a strange black-red color.

There are also bones of monsters around. There are bite marks on the bones, as if they have been "gnawed" by someone or something unknown.

These bones were thrown on both sides of the bank and piled together, like a pile of bones on the river beach.

The eyes of Mo Hua and Xun Ziyou were somewhat solemn.

There are so many demon bones, indicating that the number of demon beasts that died here is extremely large.

Similarly, this also means that the number of demon cultivators hiding here is probably not a small number.

Immediately, a doubt arose in both of their minds:

Where do these evil cultivators come from?

Mo Hua glanced at Xun Ziyou, who was frowning, and asked in a low voice:

“Elder Xun, have you seen this place of bones before?”

Xun Ziyou thought for a moment. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to sigh:

“I have been on duty here at Demon Refining Mountain for twenty or thirty years, and I have never seen this scene of blood and bones before…”

“I've never seen a demon cultivator before.” Xun Ziyou added.

Mo Hua thought for a moment and asked:

“Elder Xun, is it true that outsiders cannot enter Demon Refining Mountain?”

Xun Ziyou looked solemnly and said: "Monster Refining Mountain is surrounded by formations. Except for sect disciples and a few elders on duty, it is absolutely impossible for any other monks to enter Demon Refining Mountain..."

Speaking of this, Xun Ziyou was suddenly startled and understood the meaning of the ink painting. His eyes were slightly shaken and he said:

“You mean...these demon cultivators are all disciples of the sect?”

Mo Hua corrected him: "'Zeng' is a disciple of the sect."

Xun Ziyou felt a chill in his heart, and then felt a chill on his back.

In this case, the matter may be much more serious than he thought.

Demons are not ashamed of the righteous way, are not tolerated by the laws of the Tao, and are forbidden by the Taoist court.

If it is true as what the ink painting said, the presence of a large number of demon cultivators here means that a large number of disciples have fallen into demons.

This is definitely the biggest “scandal” in Qianxue State so far.

There will be huge shocks throughout the Qianxue State.

“Must find out!”

Look who is so bold and dares to seduce, connive, and shelter so many disciples and become evil monks!

Xun Ziyou's eyes were cold.

He wanted to walk into the Baigu River Beach to have a look, but was suddenly stopped by Mo Hua.

“You can't leave this forest.” Mo Hua said.

Xunzi was startled.

Mo Hua pointed at the dense forest, "In this forest, Shinto formations have been deployed to cover up the perception of spiritual consciousness..."

“This is a double-edged sword. It covers the traces of the demon cultivator, but in turn, it also covers our traces.”

“But it's different in front. In the land of Blood Creek and Bones, there is no grass growing, no trees to cover it, and no Shinto formations.”

“If we go over like this, maybe someone will 'see' us clearly.”

Xun Ziyou frowned, "What about using hidden spiritual weapons?"

Mo Hua asked: "Elder Xun, do you have a hidden spiritual weapon?"

“Well,” Xun Ziyou nodded, “I usually don't carry it with me, but these days, I carry it with me.”

Mainly to track you invisibly...

Xun Ziyou said silently in his heart.

Mo Hua nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and shook his head, "It's not just about concealment, but also about formations..."

“Formation?”

"Well," Mo Hua pointed to the tunnel of bones, "under these bones, there is a formation buried. Although I don't know what the formation is, it is very strange. If you go there rashly, you will definitely be in big trouble."

“It shouldn't be possible to hide…”

These are what he just saw.

The demon cultivator would not throw the remains of the demon beast in front of this creek for no reason.

There must be a reason why they did this.

With only a brief glance at the ink painting, he knew that beneath the bones, the **** and evil aura had concealed the energy of the formation.

This is an evil formation.

And it doesn't seem to be an ordinary evil formation.

“Let's go through it like this. If anything goes wrong, we will definitely be discovered. The Golden Core Demon Cultivator is fine. If you have the Ascension Realm…”

“There is no realm of emergence.” Xunzi said leisurely.

Mo Hua was surprised, "No?"

“No,” Xun Ziyou said firmly, “When Demon Refining Mountain was first built, the powerful seniors who sealed the mountain with formations also used formations to restrict the cultivation of the monks outside the Demon Refining Mountain.”

“Near the outer mountains, the highest level of cultivation is the Golden Elixir.”

Mo Hua's pupils shrank, “Tiandao Formation?!”

Xunziyou was surprised, "What is the formation of heavenly law?"

Mo Hua pointed upward, "It's the calamity thunder in the sky..."

Xun Ziyou was stunned and shook his head, "There is no big formation in the sky. You are talking about the restrictions of the laws of heaven."

Mo Hua then remembered that his master had said that the Heavenly Dao Formation was just a legend, and most monks did not believe that there was a great formation in the sky.

But Mo Hua knew that the Heavenly Dao Formation existed.

Because he has actually seen it with his own eyes.

“Yeah!” Mo Hua nodded, “It's a forbidden law of heaven.”

Xun Ziyou shook his head and said: "This is different. Jiuzhou is divided into states. If you use super-level cultivation in the borders of low-level states, you will be obliterated by the law of heaven."

"But the power of such heavenly prohibitions is beyond the control of monks."

“The Mountain Sealing Formation of Demon Refining Mountain cannot be so powerful.”

"This mountain-sealing formation is actually an expulsion formation. When the Ascension Realm monks enter the Demon Refining Mountain, an early warning will be issued."

“Within one stick of incense, if you become a monk, you will not leave.”

“The mountain-protecting formation of Demon Refining Mountain will activate the fifth-grade space formation in the complex formation, and forcibly expel the Ascension Realm monks from Demon Refining Mountain…”

"Why are you expelling Yu Hua?" Mo Hua asked, "Are you afraid that Yu Hua monks will do bad things?"

"That's right," Xun Ziyou nodded and said, "Elder Jindan is enough to take care of these disciples. If we let the elder of the Ascension Realm come in, if he is mad and suddenly becomes a demon and kills in the Demon Refining Mountain, then It would cause a disaster.”

“Feathering is different from Jindan. Yuhua can transform into feathers with spiritual power and fly in the air.”

“Once they let go of their murderous nature, fly back and forth, and engage in mass killings, the geniuses of these foundation-building sects in the Demon Refining Mountain will really be like grass and grass. No one knows how many people will be killed or injured.”

“This is also a huge disaster for the sect.”

“Such a thing happened a long time ago, so later on, we simply banned all monks who have achieved enlightenment or above from entering the mountains outside the Demon Refining Mountain.”

"I see…"

Mo Hua was stunned and nodded.

So, the strongest strength of these demon cultivators in front of us cannot exceed the golden elixir.

Mo Hua glanced at Xun Ziyou.

Elder Xun is a late-stage Jindan cultivator. His cultivation is profound and he does not look weak in actual combat. He should be able to protect himself.

The confidence in ink painting is even greater.

“Elder Xun, let's go back first.” Mo Hua said.

“Go back?” Xun Ziyou was puzzled.

Mo Hua explained: "Come back at night. Most of the monsters lie dormant during the day and emerge at night, and they become active only at night."

“Demons practice demon skills, drink demon blood, eat demon meat, and follow the demon path. Generally speaking, they only make big moves at night.”

"Furthermore, the demon cultivators have been dormant here for so many years without showing any trace. It is probably that they took advantage of the night when there were few people in the Demon Refining Mountain before going out in full force to poach the demonic beasts. No one has ever noticed it..."

“So, it's better to come at night.”

Xunzi said leisurely: "Then why not just wait here?"

Mo Hua silently glanced at Xun Ziyou and whispered: "Let's go back and check things."

“What are you checking?” Xun Ziyou was a little confused again.

Mo Hua pointed at the white bones with "gnawed" marks here and said slowly:

“Check the origins of these demon cultivators.”

Xun Ziyou's eyes narrowed slightly, and he understood instantly.

If these demon cultivators were once disciples of the sect, there will definitely be records in the files of Demon Refining Mountain.

For example, in recent years, the disciples who have "disappeared" in Demon Refining Mountain...

Disciples of “Death”…

They may not have really "disappeared" or "died" in Demon Refining Mountain.

It is very possible that they were "transformed" into demon cultivators in the Demon Refining Mountain, thereby abandoning their original identities and "died" in the sect's archives...

Xun Ziyou felt a little chilled in his heart.

This guess is very reasonable.

Then he looked at the ink painting with a strange look.

Has the child already expected what I have just figured out now?

How does he feel that Mo Hua, a disciple, knows more than he does?

It seems like he is dealing with these monsters and monsters every day...

Xun Ziyou was in a daze, and the ink paintings had already begun to be withdrawn. Halfway through the withdrawal, he turned around and saw that Xun Ziyou was still in a daze. He couldn't help but say:

“Elder Xun, let's go.”

Xun Ziyou came back to his senses and nodded, "Okay."

Just looking at the back of the ink painting, his eyes were still a little shaken.

　　Perhaps not only I am wrong, but my ancestor is also mistaken.

This child... is very likely to be more than just a "formation genius". Even, he may not necessarily be regarded as a "disciple"...

The two of them returned to the mountain gate, and Mo Hua said:

“Elder Xun, we need to check the files to see which disciples have disappeared or 'died' in Demon Refining Mountain in recent years. It's best to have portraits...”

Mo Hua had another guess in his mind that needed to be confirmed.

"Fine."

Xunzi sighed, somewhat reluctantly.

He suddenly had a feeling that Mo Hua seemed to be the "elder" and he was a bodyguard who worked for "Elder Mo".

Xun Ziyou walked to the file room in the Hall of Demon Refining Mountain.

Ink painting follows naturally.

But after walking a few steps, he was stopped by Xun Ziyou, "You can't go in."

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment.

Xunzi said leisurely: "Only the elders on duty can enter the archives room and are qualified to read the archives of Demon Refining Mountain."

Mo Hua was very disappointed.

He wanted to look through the files of Demon Refining Mountain and see what was recorded in them.

Pity.

Mo Hua warned: "Then take a good look at who they are, and don't forget their portraits..."

Xun Ziyou sighed, "Okay..."

Xun Ziyou held the elder's order and entered the archives room. After about an hour, he came out and winked at Mo Hua.

The ink paintings are understood from the heart.

The two of them entered the Demon Refining Mountain again, found a deserted and secluded place behind a large rock, and sat on the ground.

Xunzi said in a low voice:

"I took them out secretly. These are rubbings. They include names, place of origin, origin, resume, and portraits... I will burn them after you read them."

Mo Hua was shocked.

This Elder Xun is so reliable!

Not only do you know what you want, but you also think of things you haven't thought of before.

He is indeed Mr. Xun's great-great-grandson of countless generations!

Without further ado, Mo Hua immediately started looking through the files.

What is recorded in the file is the list of people who have either "disappeared" or "died" in Demon Refining Mountain in the past hundred years:

“Kuanping, Duanjinmen, a third-grade disciple of the Kuang family. He was nineteen years old. He entered the Demon Refining Mountain and disappeared three days later. After searching the mountain for two months, he was nowhere to be seen. He was suspected to have died from the mouth of a monster..."

“Jiang Rulong, Guishuimen, second-grade disciple of the Jiang family, was twenty years old, and went into the mountains to hunt monsters. Due to his limited experience, he panicked when something happened, and he missed while hunting monsters. He was carried into the deep forest by the monsters, and no bones were left..."

“Lan Hui'er, from the Danqing Sect… went into the mountain with a male disciple from the same sect, and both died…”

“Liu Ying, Wan Zhenmen…”

In the list, the missing or dead sect disciples are recorded not only from Duanjinmen and Guishuimen, but also from other sects.

Part of it should be the Demon Refining Mountain where Zhen died.

But the other part, I'm afraid it's hard to say…

It is very possible that some of the dead disciples on the list are in the Demon Refining Mountain at this time, turning into monsters, eating flesh and drinking blood.

I'm afraid it's not just that.

In Mo Hua's intuition, some disciples with unfamiliar names and unfamiliar looks seemed a bit familiar inexplicably.

This is an intuition of cause and effect.

It seems as if they have had intersections with each other.

Mo Hua thought for a while and suddenly thought of:

Sin repair!

At the beginning, he had arrested many criminal cultivators based on Boss Jiang's list. They had the inheritance of the sect. Logically speaking, they all had followers in the sect.

But Daotingsi checked and found nothing.

Mo Hua was confused before, but now that he saw this list, he suddenly realized that those "criminal cultivators" who were living outside and doing evil things were probably "dead" in the sect's archives.

That's why Daotingsi couldn't find anything.

It is difficult to verify it at all from the sect!

In other words, not only the demon cultivators in Demon Refining Mountain, but also the evil cultivators who abducted and trafficked monks outside the borders of Qianxue State and committed many evil deeds will also be "cancelled" in Demon Refining Mountain.

The Demon Refining Mountain is just a dark "rag".

It will use the "death record" to erase all traces of the sect's disciples before they became sin cultivators, demon cultivators, or even demon cultivators.

After being deregistered, he changes his face and his name, but no one can find out the origin.

Mo Hua was slightly shocked.

“No wonder…”

“No wonder those traffickers in black who have become minions of the evil **** are so rampant, but Daotingsi has a hard time investigating it, because once the source is traced and the sect is traced, they will find that there is really no such person…”

"Because the disciples who meet the conditions have already been 'dead'!"

"In the eyes of the sect, when the Dao Ting Si investigates a dead or non-existent disciple and 'slanders' this disciple as colluding with human traffickers or other demon cultivators, it is obviously provoking trouble, spreading rumors and deliberately slandering the disciple. Discredit."

“No sect can sit idly by and ignore this.”

“In order to protect the interests of the sect, the reputation of the sect, and even the reputation of the 'dead' disciples, the sect had to confront Dao Tingsi and obstruct Dao Tingsi's investigation.”

“So, as soon as the Daoting Division investigates this matter, it will inevitably reach a deadlock.”

“Uncle Gu is the same, no matter how powerful he is, it's useless.”

“He is the Daoting Si Dian Si. From the moment he is investigated from the Daoting Si side, he will always be isolated by the gate of the sect..."

Mo Hua suddenly understood and finally figured these things out.

But he was still a little unsure.

These are just my conjectures after all.

The intuition of cause and effect is just intuition, and it does not mean that it is completely infallible.

“Need to verify…”

Ink painting is on the list again.

I don't know how long I have been scrolling. Mo Hua's pupils shrank, and after a moment, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"found it…"

On the list, a name is recorded:

"Xie Zangshan, a disciple of Guishui Gate, twenty-one years old, born in the third-grade Xie family, in the middle stage of foundation establishment, with an arrogant and complacent temperament. He went into the mountains alone to hunt monsters, and disappeared...three months later, he was presumed dead."

Mo Hua has never heard of this name.

But the ink painting next to the name looks familiar.

This man, this face, is the leader in black at that time!

It seems that it was two or three years ago. Cheng Mo and others broke into more than 20 men in black selling monks, and were chased by the men in black. When they were at the end of the road, they happened to encounter them.

He helped a little bit by himself.

Saved Cheng Mo, killed the human traffickers, and rescued the abducted monks.

At that time, most of this group of traffickers died and turned into a puddle of black water.

There is only one exception, that is the leader in black!

The leader in black was carrying the corpse of the evil god. He chased him all the way to the barren mountains, and then he was tricked to death by his own tricks.

After the leader in black died, Mo Hua saw his face.

Even though he had been blasted by the Lihuo Formation and had some burn marks on his face, and his expression was sinister, he looked like a rather young monk, estimated to be only in his twenties.

That face now slowly overlaps with the portrait in front of him.

Xie Zangshan!

Mo Hua's eyes are bright.

This will confirm your guess!

Mo Hua checked the time again and found that the time when Xie Zangshan "disappeared" happened to be the second day after he was "killed" by himself.

In other words, as soon as the black-clothed leader of the human trafficker died, Xie Zangshan, a disciple of the sect, also "disappeared" in the Demon Refining Mountain.

This is no coincidence, but a very mature, stable, and almost "seamless" process.

And the people and forces involved behind it must be quite large.

Mo Hua's eyes are slightly cold.

Xun Ziyou on the side saw Mo Hua's focused eyes and changing expressions, so he couldn't help but ask:

“Did you see something else?”

Mo Hua glanced at Xun Ziyou, thought for a moment, and still didn't tell the whole story. He only talked about the things in front of him:

“Those demon cultivators in Demon Refining Mountain are most likely the missing or dead disciples on this list.”

Xun Ziyou didn't know that Mo Hua was hiding something, so he nodded and sighed in his heart.

It's dark under the lamp…

No one expected that such a thing could happen in the Qianxue Prefecture, under the noses of the sect elders.

Some people are really too courageous.

And his actions are indeed thorough.

The conspiracy behind it is probably not trivial...

Xun Ziyou looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting late. Let's go to the land of bones again."

“Yeah!” Mo Hua nodded.

The two set out again.

At this time, the sun sets over the mountain and the morning glow splashes into the sky. This is a common sight in the Demon Refining Mountain.

But the difference is that at this time, Mo Hua would finish hunting the monsters and then go down the mountain to return to his clan at the sunset.

At this time, he was walking deep into the dense forest of Demon Refining Mountain.

Take advantage of the setting sun and walk step by step into the darkness of Demon Refining Mountain...
