Chapter 950 Visiting the Grave

The cemetery is dark, damp and gloomy, full of suffocation and depression.
The corridor in front of me is dark and deep. I don’t know how long it is, and I don’t know where it leads.
Mo Hua held a compass in his hand and led everyone to walk in the narrow darkness.
Second Master Hui and the others looked around from time to time, wary of the strange corpses in the tomb.
Along the way, there were indeed zombies appearing, not many in number, mostly one or two, quietly jumping out of the darkness to gnaw on people's heads.
But because everyone was mentally prepared, and the seven golden elixir masters were on guard against each other, they kept an eye on the blind spot.
As soon as these zombies appeared, they were quickly killed.
No one was bitten by the zombies.
Mo Hua secretly felt pity.
No one was bitten, so there were fewer samples for observation, and his plan to poison with evil spirits was missing a lot of reference.
I don’t know if anyone has done this before.
But if it is to be done, I am afraid it will be quite difficult.
Just the sealing, storage, nourishment, rebirth, poison nourishment, poisoning, etc. of evil spirits need to be studied for a long time.
Therefore, he really needs someone to be bitten by the corpse ghost. This way, when the disease occurs, he will have a few reference points.
However, now everyone is still in the stage of working together and visiting the tomb together. The final tomb has not yet been found, so there is no need to rush.
Just like that, Mo Hua put aside other thoughts and concentrated on leading the way.
The road was long and I didn’t know how long I had walked before the corridor suddenly opened up.
The scene in front of me was different again.
Mo Hua, who was walking at the front, immediately stopped and slowly retreated to the center of the crowd, making sure that he was surrounded by a group of golden elixirs. Then he looked intently and saw the corridor ahead, leading to a large stone chamber.
The stone chamber is simple, with some murals carved around it.
These murals are very rough, and most of the contents in the paintings are scenes of bull-headed and horse-faced men wearing Taoist priests' robes, detaining, punishing, and beheading criminals.
Mo Huazai looked at it carefully, felt it again with his spiritual consciousness, and then frowned slightly.
These murals are really just murals.
It is neither a visualization diagram nor a formation, and it seems that there are no other mysteries.
But these bull heads and horse faces, as well as all kinds of punishments, give Mo Hua a very unusual look.
There is a vague feeling in Mo Hua.
These murals seem to be 'copied' from certain places, and they are 'rubbings'. However, the person who copied these murals has no idea of the deep meaning of the murals. He just copied a rough diagram and carved it in the tomb to fill the stone wall. .
Just from the 'rubbings', Mo Hua can already feel a gloomy and suffocating feeling.
The true 'body' of these murals may be even more terrifying if seen with one's own eyes.
Mo Hua frowned, his expression solemn.
But when Mr. Hui on the side saw these murals, his expression perked up and he turned to the crowd and said:
'This is the mural outside the underground palace. We have arrived at the underground palace.'
'Go through the underground palace and enter the deep tomb, and you will see the coffin. The treasures in the tomb will be buried in the coffin of the tomb.'
'As long as you enter the tomb, pick up the things, and then return the same way, the trip will be complete.'
Everyone's eyes were somewhat eager.
Mo Hua thought for a while and finally asked the doubts in his heart: 'Whose tomb did we steal... and what was buried in the tomb?'
Mo Hua lowered his voice, but everyone could hear it.
But all the cultivators present seemed to have heard it, and no one answered him.
Mo Hua asked for trouble and curled his lips.
'It's getting late, let's keep moving forward.' Second Master Hui said, then paused slightly and said with a solemn expression:
'However, now that we are here, I have to remind everyone that the underground palace is used to protect the tomb. Killing arrays and mechanisms are everywhere, which is very dangerous. You must be careful next time.'
The black-robed young man nodded.
Then everyone crossed the murals on the outside of the underground palace and walked forward for nearly a hundred steps.
The shape of the wall changed, and five forked roads appeared in front of the large underground palace.
'These forks are used to confuse outsiders and protect the tombs,' said Mr. Hui.
The black-robed young man nodded slightly and asked, 'Which way to go?'
Mr. Hui and the others were silent for a moment and all looked at Mo Hua.
The task of visiting tombs and identifying locations was originally the responsibility of Mr. Pi, who was proficient in ground formations. But now that Mr. Pi is dead, this task naturally fell to Mo Hua, the only formation master in the field who was proficient in ground formations.
Even his ground formation was learned now.
Mo Hua shows a brooding look.
It was also his first time to rob a tomb... No, he was 'held hostage' into the cemetery. There were many things that he didn't really understand.
Especially the various uses of ground formations, many of which he had seen for the first time and had little experience.
The five forked roads in front of him were almost identical in his spiritual perception.
Even the ground formation pattern and formation aura inside were exactly the same, and Mo Hua couldn't tell which one was the real way to the tomb.
'Wait a minute, I'll learn more...' Mo Hua said.
Mr. Hui's eyelids twitched.
The black-robed young man looked at Mo Hua with an even weirder look.
Mo Hua ignored them and began to dig through Mr. Pi's storage bag.
In Mr. Pi's storage bag, in addition to formation books and formation diagrams related to formations, there are also some miscellaneous books and notes.
The miscellaneous notes contain part of his experience of going to the tomb.
The main content of the experience is about the compatibility between formations and tombs, and the use of most formations in tombs, including the Five Elements Formation, the Bagua Formation, and the Secret Earth Formation.
If you encounter a problem, how to solve it through formation, etc...
Mo Hua has a strong sense of consciousness, quick thinking, and can read books very quickly. With a few clicks of his fingers, he quickly went through all the relevant books and jade slips, and then he probably knew it in his mind.
This is the 'pseudo formation' technique in tombs.
The five branches are exactly the same, and the formations inside them seem to be the same, but four of them are 'fake formations' and the formations are idling, and only one is real.
This is also one of the tips for using ground formations.
Mo Hua nodded, and then began to follow Mr. Pi's experience and deduce the aura of the ground formation to identify the authenticity of the formation.
I have to say that Mr. Pi's death was quite necessary.
If he hadn't died, he wouldn't have been able to get these formation book jade slips, and he wouldn't have been able to figure out the secret behind them.
And now that the doorway is clear, it will be easier to handle later.
Mo Hua is based on the strong spiritual thoughts, and with the help of calculations, after a moment of deductive reasoning in the mind, the authenticity of the ground formation can be identified.
Mo Hua stretched out his hand, pointed to the road on the far right, and said, 'Go here.'
'Have you figured it out?'
'Um.'
000000000000000
'Seriously?' Second Master Hui is very optimistic about the talent of Mo Hua in his heart, and has even planned to take this talent as his own.
But talent is just talent after all.
Seeing Mo Hua's 'learning now and selling it now' and even guessing, Mr. Hui always felt that it was not very reliable.
'This is the road.' Mo Hua looked like he didn't believe it.
Second Master Hui frowned.
The black-robed young master glanced at Mo Hua subtly, and slowly said:
'This little brother has never made any mistakes in identifying positions and dismantling formations along the way. What he has calculated should not be wrong. Let's go.'
Mo Hua glanced at the black-robed young man in surprise.
The black-robed young man looked at Mo Hua, with a slight smile on his lips.
Mo Hua was startled, his heart sank slightly, and he felt a little weird.
Second Master Hui hesitated for a moment, nodded, and had to follow Mo Hua's calculation.
Mo Hua is a formation master after all, and he figured out this path.
If they don’t believe in Mo Huas, then they can only deceive themselves.
It's obviously even more unreliable if you fool yourself.
'Okay.' Second Master Hui said.
So everyone walked towards the branch road pointed by Mo Hua.
After entering the fork in the road, the atmosphere suddenly changed. The stone walls became stronger, with various prison pictures carved on them, and the atmosphere became more solemn and solemn.
Everyone is also more cautious.
Unexpectedly, there were no traps in the tomb passage, and the journey was surprisingly safe.
Just like this, I walked all the way to the end, and there was a bare stone wall in front of me, with no other way out.
Second Master Hui stepped forward, knocked on the stone wall, and then punched him.
The formation lit up and then shattered.
Second Master Hui's fist penetrated the stone wall, but there was no other way behind the stone wall, only the bottomless mountain.
'It's a dead end.' Second Master Hui turned around and said.
Then everyone turned their attention to Mo Hua.
Mo Hua touched his chin and muttered: 'How could it be a dead end... Did I make a mistake in my calculations?'
'What now?'
'I'll take another look...'
Then Mo Hua checked around again and found that although the formation here was correct, there was indeed a thick mountain behind the formation, which was a dead end.
“Every man makes mistakes, and a horse makes mistakes.”
Mo Hua said calmly, not at all embarrassed because of his miscalculation.
Hui Erye and the others couldn't do anything to him.
After all, the 'professional' Mr. Pi is dead.
Mo Huas are on the shelves in a hurry, so it’s good to be able to count this.
'Turn back.' Second Master Hui said.
So everyone took some time to return the same way and stood at the fork in the road again.
'Which way to go this time?'
Mo Hua re-deduce the tomb experience based on Mr. Pi's calculations, but after repeated calculations, he still found that his calculations were correct.
Seeing Mo Hua's procrastination, Pi Erye guessed that there was something wrong with Mo Hua's formation deduction and was no longer effective, so he gradually lost patience.
'It's not an option to delay it like this. Let's take the middle road and see.'
'If it doesn't work, go back and choose another one. There are five paths in total. Even if you try one by one, there will be no problem.'
Second Master Hui continued, 'Gushan City is a third-level realm. Our group has seven golden elixirs. Even if we encounter some dangers, we can handle it.'
There is nothing to say about Mo Huas.
If it were the Five Elements or Bagua formations, he would have absolute confidence.
But most of the ones used in the tombs were ground formations. He didn't know much about them, and he had to learn and use them now, so he was not sure whether he had made a mistake in his calculations.
Since he wasn't sure about the formation, he could only let Mr. Hui, a 'senior' tomb robber, make the decision.
So Mr. Hui led the way, and everyone walked towards the tomb passage in the middle.
Mo Hua is a bit more leisurely.
Because there is no need to lead the way, there is no need to be at the front.
Mo Hua chose a safe position and blended in with the crowd, ensuring that when danger came from all directions, there would be someone to act as his 'shield'.
The appearance of the middle tomb passage is almost the same as the rightmost fork in Mo Hua.
But as I walked, dense firelight suddenly lit up in the darkness.
Countless sharp crossbow arrows condensed into substantial flames, like fire rain, and shot directly at Mr. Hui at the front.
This fire crossbow is extremely fast.
Second Master Hui couldn't avoid it, so he immediately folded his arms and unfolded an earth shield to protect himself.
The dense rain of fire hit the shield. For a moment, the spiritual power surged, and the fire light danced, making it extremely dazzling in the dark tomb.
Not only Hui Erye, but others were also affected.
The scorching rain of fire surged forward, killing others as well.
A layer of earth and stone condensed on the stone, and the mouse dodged strangely. The men in black also used their own methods to resist the continuous fire.
This is the third-grade fire rain, which is very powerful.
Mo Hua had already sensed this and knew he couldn't resist, so he hid behind the two tall black-robed cultivators.
The two black-robed cultivators remained motionless in the fire and rain, like two hills.
When the fire and rain stopped and the smoke dissipated, Mo Hua poked its head out.
In front of the corridor, Mr. Hui and the others who had been hit by the fire rain looked a little embarrassed.
The four black-robed cultivators also had some spots burned on their robes.
Second Master Hui withdrew his earth shield and took a deep breath. It was obvious that it was not easy to deal with the fire and rain.
But on his face, he was not surprised but happy, 'With the tomb passage mechanism, the road is right.'
Second Master Hui turned around and warned: 'Everyone, be careful and keep moving forward.'
After that, everyone continued to move forward.
Along the way, they encountered poisonous gas, quicksand, stone burials, water miasma, knife array and other killing situations one after another.
These cemetery traps are of various kinds, and they look extremely dangerous, vicious and vicious, making them difficult to guard against.
But Mr. Hui and the others are veterans.
Cemetery agencies are commonplace for tomb robbers like them.
Therefore, if you are cautious, you can handle it, but you will inevitably be a little worried.
After walking like this for a while, experiencing various mechanisms, Mr. Hui frowned and said:
'It's strange. There is nothing strange about the floor under your feet. How are these mechanisms triggered?'
Second Master Hui doesn't understand, but Mo Hua does.
The mechanism in this tomb passage cooperates with the ground array and is controlled by the 'induction' of the ground array. As long as someone walks by, it will be triggered.
This breaks away from the general category of cemetery mechanism techniques and involves more advanced ground formation usage.
000000000000000000000
It's not surprising that Mr. Hui doesn't know.
And on the premise of understanding the formation, it is actually not difficult to disable these mechanisms.
But Mo Hua didn't say anything, and he didn't do anything.
The formation master must be able to hide secrets.
He is the only one who understands the formation, so no matter what he does or says, what is right or wrong, only he knows.
If you want to kill people, if you want to trick people, if you want to take advantage of others, you can do whatever you want.
This was what Mr. Pi had taught him not long ago.
Mr. Pi has been in the cultivation world for so many years and has rich experience.
Mo Hua thought he was right.
Moreover, Mo Hua was also very curious and wanted to see what the mechanisms in the tombs were, so that he could be mentally prepared if he encountered these killing moves alone in the future.
In this way, everyone triggered the mechanism and walked deeper into the tomb passage.
But after walking for a long time, we still couldn't see the end of the tomb passage.
Moreover, the deeper you go, the narrower the tomb passage becomes, and the more forked paths there are. As you walk, when you look back, you no longer know where you are.
Second Master Hui had to stop, paused and said in a deep voice:
'It's not right...this road is not right either...'
'Then what should we do now?' Mouse asked.
'go back?'
The black-robed young man looked around, frowned and said, 'There are so many side roads, how can we get back?'
Everyone hesitated for a moment, then unanimously looked at Mo Hua.
After all, among everyone, there was only one formation master, Mo Hua.
At this time, Mo Hua deeply understood why Mr. Pi must firmly adhere to the principle of 'one formation master' every time he goes to the tomb.
Cultivators take cultivation as their foundation, but cultivation is just cultivation.
To most cultivators in the world, strong cultivation only means killing and destructive power.
But there are still many problems that cannot be solved by cultivation alone.
But the formation master is different.
The formation manifests the way of heaven and is all-encompassing.
The formation master is proficient in formations and understands all principles, and can solve many problems that ordinary cultivators cannot.
Whenever something happens, others will ask for you.
Mo Hua sighed, reluctantly taking out Mr. Pi's compass, and then began to identify the direction based on the flow of the ground formation.
After a moment, Mo Hua pointed to the left hand side, 'Here.'
Everyone could only follow Mo Hua honestly.
Along the way, the forked roads gradually close up, and you can also encounter some triggered mechanisms. This is obviously the way back.
Second Master Hui breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Mo Hua with even more intense eyes.
After that, Mo Hua continued to follow the formation to identify positions, and walked for a while.
Seeing that he was about to go off the road, Mo Hua suddenly changed his expression and stopped.
'What's wrong?' Second Master Hui asked.
Mo Hua's face looked a little ugly, 'There is something...'
Second Master Hui was stunned for a moment, and then he understood instantly.
'Ziying!'
When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled, and they immediately became alert.
Mo Hua also quietly retreated behind everyone.
Just a moment later, in the dark fork in the road, in the deep darkness, a head suddenly popped up silently.
The head was deformed and ugly, the facial features were squeezed and deformed, making it difficult to distinguish the face, and the mouth had three cracks, like insect teeth in the ground.
At this time, the head's three-petal mouth split open, revealing its wriggling flesh teeth, like a flesh-red piranha.
As soon as Mr. Hui saw it, he felt sick to his stomach.
The sight of his face being chewed by this corpse just now was still vivid in his mind. He didn't want to experience that disgusting feeling again.
Second Master Hui took out his knife and wanted to chop down the zombie.
But halfway through cutting with the knife, he suddenly stopped, his pupils trembled, and his face instantly turned pale.
What was blooming in front of him was not a 'piranha'.
But one after another.
Flesh-red gums and white fangs bloomed one after another in the darkness. With just a glance, there were probably more than twenty of them.
Everyone's expressions changed.
'Back off!' Second Master Hui shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, these ferocious and smelly corpses opened their bloody mouths and rushed toward everyone's heads.
Mr. Hui cut off a corpse's arm with one knife.
Shitou punched away a zombie that jumped in the face.
Others also used swords and spells to kill or knock away the zombies one by one.
But as long as the zombies don't die, even if there is a trace of evil energy left, they will still continue to attack.
Everyone could only fight and retreat, and retreated to a fork in the road again.
In the darkness, there were countless corpses, rushing up one after another like a tide.
Rotten flesh, bloody water, stumps, sword light, blood light, and spells were all mixed together.
The scene was extremely chaotic for a while.
Mo Hua could only try his best to hide in the crowd and let these golden elixirs block these 'tide of corpses' for him.
But the roads were confusing, the passages were narrow, and there were too many corpses, so a group of people were dispersed without even realizing it.
When Mo Hua used his body skills to avoid being killed by several corpse ghosts, he also used his fireball technique to blast away a few zombie ghosts that jumped in the face. When he turned around again, he found that he was alone.
'It's over, are you separated?'
Mo Hua was shocked.
It can't be broken up now. If it is broken up, one's golden elixir 'shield' will be gone.
'We have to meet them.' Mo Hua said silently in his heart.
Fortunately, they had just separated not long ago, and some of the corpses were killed, so they could barely sense the auras of people nearby.
Mo Hua followed this aura, dodging corpse ghosts and traps. After walking for a while, he found a person in front of him.
It's the tomb robber named 'Mouse'.
The rat is dealing with several zombies. His magic weapon seems to be a shovel, which can dig soil but can also chop people.
After about ten rounds, the rat killed all the corpses around him.
The surroundings became a little clearer, and the mouse also saw Mo Huas, and asked, 'Where are the others?'
Mo Hua shook his head, 'We have to find a way to meet them.'
'Okay.' The mouse nodded.
So the two of them walked forward along the fork in the road, trying to find traces of the others.
But as he walked, Mo Hua was startled and immediately jumped to the side, narrowly avoiding a long and thick hand.
Mo Hua was surprised: 'What are you doing?'
It was the rat who attacked him.
At this time, the mouse's face was gloomy, his hall was glowing with cyan, his narrow eyes were staring at Mo Hua, he pulled Mo Hua's shoulder with one hand, and said in a hoarse voice:
'Give that... to me.'
