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 has determined one thing:
The sword formation inside the Spirit Sword will indeed self-destruct.
At least the spiritual sword in front of him was destroyed on its own.
Although he had been careful again and again and used all the knowledge of weapon refining at his disposal, it was still useless.
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.
What a wonderful spiritual sword, just gone.
What a waste of natural resources...
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.
But for now, we still have to consider the "Sword Formation" first.
"The sword formation will self-destruct. Even if you steal the spirit sword, you cannot obtain the sword formation by destroying the spirit sword."
"Then if you want to get the sword array, where should you start?"
I'm having some trouble with ink painting.
He began to think of a solution to the problem.
Catch Duan Jinmen disciples and torture them?
Since I couldn't go out to arrest sin cultivators, my improved formation punishment board has been useless for a long time. Is it just right for the disciples of Duanjinmen to kneel down?
Mo Hua thought for a moment and shook his head again.
No...
Too brutal.
This iron plate is used to deal with evil cultivators and evil cultivators.
Although the ordinary disciples of the Duanjin Sect are somewhat at odds with the Taixu Sect and behave in a lowly manner, their crimes do not end there.
There still needs to be a sense of proportion between good and evil.
The method of punishment must be appropriate, otherwise sooner or later you will become violent and become a murderous demon.
This goes against the teachings of my parents, master, Mr. Xun, and the elders of Taixu Sect.
Moreover, even if he was tortured, it would probably be useless.
Such secrets are not accessible to ordinary disciples.
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.
The difficulty must be extremely high.
It seems that few of the disciples at Duanjinmen are smart and have strong spiritual consciousness. It is unlikely that they can learn such a complicated sword formation.
Since you don’t know in the first place, torture is useless.
So……
Find out where the sword-making shop in Broken Golden Gate is, sneak in secretly, and steal the secrets of the sword array?
Or, try to get a sect token that can break the Golden Gate, and see if you can do some tricks?
Mo Hua thought about it and denied it himself.
The sword-making shop in Broken Golden Gate must be extremely heavily guarded. How could I, a young monk in the middle stage of foundation building, sneak in...
At least not currently.
It’s useless to get the sect order to break the golden gate.
I still don't know anything about the profound Yuanmagnetic Formation, and I don't know how to use it at all.
Neither of these two methods can be used now.
"Will not work……"
Mo Hua lay on the bed, meditating hard, thinking over and over again several times about the methods he could use, and suddenly an idea flashed and he came up with a way:
"Calculation!"
Divine consciousness calculation can reversely deduce the formation pattern of the formation through the magic traces of the formation.
If the sword cultivator passes through the sword formation in the spiritual sword, he activates the sword energy.
Does that mean...
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.
Then wouldn't he... be going against the will of heaven?
Whoever shows off swordsmanship in front of me from now on, I will also expose his legacy of swordsmanship!
Mo Hua himself was a little unbelievable.
But whether it can work or not, we still have to find a way to try...
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 the Broken Golden Sword?"
"No," Mo Hua said, "that sword is useless."
Situ Jian was stunned for a moment, and then he was completely stunned.
"Wasted?!"
"It's only been one night. How could 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.
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, but it was ruined by his junior brother in one night.
Situ Jian subconsciously clenched his Lihuo Sword tighter.
The Broken Golden Sword is useless when it is useless.
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:
"Please lend me your Lihuo Sword."
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.
"So simple?" Situ Jian said.
"Well," Mo Hua nodded, "It's that simple."
Situ Jian didn't ask what Mo Hua was going to do, because past facts proved that the younger senior brother usually had deep meaning in his actions.
If it's about the formation, even if the younger senior brother talks about it, he may not understand it.
"Okay!" Situ Jian said simply.
Then, in front of Mo Hua, he sacrificed the Lihuo Sword, activated the Lihuo Sword Qi, and struck the Taoist puppet with one sword after another.
Mo Hua meditated on the side, his eyes were dark, and the lines of heavenly secrets appeared. He used the secret calculations to increase the calculations, and began to deduce Situ Jian's Lihuo sword energy.
Lihuo sword energy is a fire-based sword energy, wrapped in flames and red.
When we first saw it, there was only the shape of burning sword energy.
The ink painting stimulates his spiritual consciousness, and double images appear in his eyes. He keeps trying to use heavenly calculations to deduce the 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 senior brother was doing, he felt that his sword energy seemed to be getting a little insight...
Situ Jian was shocked.
How can this be?
The young senior brother is not a sword cultivator. He is just watching a few times. How can he understand the sword energy?
"Illusion..."
Situ Jian felt a little uneasy, but since he agreed to Mo Hua, he couldn't regret it temporarily, so he could only bite the bullet and chop the Taoist puppet with one sword after another.
I don't know how long he had been chopping, but when Situ Jian was getting more and more uneasy, he heard Mo Hua say: "Okay."
Situ Jian stopped his hand and turned around to see that Mo Hua looked obviously disappointed.
Didn't figure it out...
Mo Hua sighed.
Situ Jian was silent for a moment, but still couldn't help asking:
"Senior Brother, what are you going to do..."
Mo Hua said: "I will study sword energy so that I can deal with Broken Golden Gate."
Situ Jian breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't quite understand what he wanted to do with Duan Jinmen and study his Lihuo sword energy.
And just by looking at it like this, what can you tell?
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 could indeed 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.
But Mo Hua is not discouraged.
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.
So from then on, whenever he had free time, Mo Hua asked Situ Jian to practice sword practice in front of him. He used this to practice his skills and calculate sword formations.
But Mo Hua felt a little sorry for Situ Jian's troubles all the time, so he decided to transfer some meritorious deeds to him.
Now it was Situ Jian who felt embarrassed.
"Senior brother, how could this happen?"
Mo Hua said: "Brothers have to settle accounts openly. 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 children of aristocratic families.
But when it comes to meritorious deeds, he is truly a child of a "noble family", and he is infinitely "richer" than other members of his family.
Situ Jian accepted it gratefully.
He really couldn't refuse the sect's meritorious service.
After accepting the meritorious service, Situ Jian became more serious and focused when he demonstrated Lihuo Sword Qi for Mo Hua.
We can't let our little brother's achievements go to waste.
As for the feeling of having the sword energy penetrated...
After much thought, Situ Jian 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 sacrifice your spiritual sword and use 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 can'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...
But Situ Jian was not always available. Occasionally when Situ Jian has something to do, Mo Hua will hire other sword cultivator disciples 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 eliminate the shape of the sword, and it no longer looked like its original appearance...
Finally, seven days later, after countless tedious and step-by-step calculations in Mo Hua, he suddenly had an epiphany.
His spiritual thoughts suddenly became clear, and his vision suddenly became clear.
In the vision of the spiritual consciousness, the bright red Lihuo sword energy 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!
Mo Hua was so happy that he immediately wrote down these sword marks with his brush strokes like wind and flowing water.
These sword marks seem to be 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 swordsmanship inheritance of the Situ family: 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 looked up and saw nothing in the distance. Situ Jian, who was still concentrating on using his sword energy to chop the puppets, pondered for a moment and then erased the sword formation he just memorized.
At the same time, he also forced himself to forget the Lihuo Sword Formation in his mind.
This sword formation cannot be left behind.
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 did it unintentionally and had no knowledge of it, he could not 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 human 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?"
"Yes." 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 not refuse the treat of his junior senior brother.
In this way, Mo Hua invited Situ Jian to have a sumptuous spiritual meal in the dining hall on the second floor where his disciples lived.
Of course Yu'er was also there, along with Yang Qianjun, Hao Xuan, Xie Ling, and Cheng Mo.
During the banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
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:
"Senior brother, don't worry, I will 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, "Be 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 refined iron armor.
"I'll call the people from Golden Gate to fight you later. You should be more arrogant. You don't want to win, but just want to delay. The longer the delay, the better."
Cheng Mo grimaced.
Hao Xuan was very puzzled, "Senior Brother, what on earth are you going to do?"
Mo Hua gave it up and said, "You will know later."
Hao Xuan nodded in understanding.
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 Mo Hua sadly.
Mo Hua said seriously: "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 then 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, "Other disciples will definitely not be beaten as much as me. I will definitely have to do such hard work."
Then he 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: "Little brother, don't worry, let alone getting 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 felt helpless, "Stop bragging and prepare quickly. Take some health-reviving elixirs beforehand. I'll find someone to beat you."
Cheng Mo chuckled silly and said, "Okay!"
Mo Hua left everyone and wandered around the Demon Refining Mountain in hiding, looking for the chosen target.
It didn't take long for him to discover the pretty boy from Duanjinmen.
The pretty boy "Song Jian", with a gloomy look on his face, was searching for something all over the mountains and fields with ten of his disciples.
Mo Hua showed his figure and shouted, "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 yourself seriously!
That's too much!
Song Jian waved his hand and said coldly: "Catch him and beat him to death!"
The other Jinmen Duanmen 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 Jinmen Duanmen disciples stopped again and stopped where they were.
Song Jian's eyelids twitched wildly and he looked at Mo Hua angrily, "Where is my Broken Gold Sword?"
Already turned into 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?"
"Forget it if we don't compete," Mo Hua said casually, "I'll find a weapon refiner to dismantle your broken gold sword into scrap metal and throw it into the furnace to melt it..."
"You dare?!" Song Jian's eyes were splitting.
Mo Hua looked indifferent.
No matter what he dares to do...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, and he had to compromise.
"Okay," Song Jian said, "I'll compete with you."
"It's not you who competes with me," Mo Hua shook his head and said, "It's you who compete with my 'big brother'."
The ink painting slightly elevated Cheng Mo's status.
Song Jian frowned, "Your eldest brother?"
Mo Hua nodded, "Yes, that's the big man who chopped you with an ax that day."
Song Jian immediately thought 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 are all over."
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 embarrassed:
"When we enter Demon Refining Mountain, we just want to hunt demon beasts and earn some merits. We don't want to waste time breaking up the Golden Gate with you, and no one will benefit from it."
"In that case, why not give it a try."
"If you win, we will return the sword to you."
"If you lose, Jinmen Duan will stop and don't embarrass us again."
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 Golden 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.
Promises can be made without any proof, and no one can take them 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 Mo Hua was actually talking nonsense.
He could return the Broken Gold Sword, because it was just scrap metal and there was no use in keeping it.
But Demon Refining Mountain is such an important territory, where you can hunt monsters, absorb monster blood, extract materials, and earn merit... How could he let it go?
Whoever agrees cannot agree.
Mo Hua nodded and said, "You come with me."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Song Jian hesitated a little.
The surrounding Duanjinmen disciples, most of whom were from the Song family, saw this and said, "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 hesitated, but Mo Hua kept walking forward without looking back, and 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 this life.
After struggling for a long time, Song Jian gritted his teeth and ordered: "You guys wait here."
Then he immediately used the Golden Escape Technique, turned into golden light, and chased after him. He followed Mo Hua into the woods...
