Chapter 828: Pulling out teeth from the tiger’s mouth
Mo Hua is not worried about the situation on the island.
First, in this operation, he was "borrowing power", borrowing the power of Daoting to encircle and suppress these water bandits.
It's not his turn to worry about the Xia family.
The other one is because of the formation.
The formation on the island uses the formation principles of Bagua and Eight Gates, and is exquisitely conceived.
However, the formation masters who set up the formation were not very knowledgeable. The conditions on this remote island were also limited, so the formations they set up were relatively crude.
The layout is based on eight gates, but the inner Bagua formation is cut corners.
Although there are eight gates, there is no gossip.
It is difficult to collect the complete eight categories of Bagua formations.
Lihuo, Kanshui, and Genshan are better. They have something in common with the common Five Elements Formation and are easier to learn.
But other trigrams, such as Zhen Gua, which symbolizes thunder, Xun Gua, which symbolizes wind, Kun Gua, which symbolizes earth, and Qian Gua, which symbolizes heaven.
These types of Bagua formations are very different from the pattern of the Five Elements. The principles of the formations are unpredictable, the formation diagrams are also very rare, and there are very few corresponding inheritances.
Except for a few simple Xun formations, such as Zhen formation, Qian formation, and Kun formation, even Mr. Xun did not have half a page of formation diagrams to teach him.
Mo Hua is like this, let alone other disciples in Taixu Sect.
Similarly, among this group of water bandits, even in Guishuimen, there is no second-grade formation master who can really master all the Bagua formations.
And the Eight Trigrams Formation on this water island is incomplete.
Because it was impossible to make up the Bagua, most of the formations in it were actually made up of other Five Elements formations.
There are even some areas where there are no formations to make up the numbers.
This is the conclusion that Mo Hua came to after pondering it over himself and asking Elder Xun Zixian for advice.
According to Elder Xun Zixian, the real "Eight Gates and Bagua" formation is easy to learn but difficult to master. The pattern is not difficult, but it is ever-changing. It is a formation that only "masters" can truly master.
Mo Hua wants to become a master of formations.
Therefore, he had to study this formation carefully and improve it.
The formation on the small island is relatively rough and imperfect.
But on this basis, little by little improvements were made to perfect the Bagua, and at the same time, appropriate changes were added to the eight gates, especially the flow of the Gate of Life and the Gate of Death, so as to discover the power of the formation bit by bit.
This formation, spread out on this small island, is a waste of resources. Only when it is in your own hands can you make the best use of it.
Mo Hua nodded.
Time passed little by little, and the night became darker.
There was thick blood in the thick night.
The formations on the island follow the trajectory deduced from the ink paintings, and the eight gates are also constantly changing according to his prediction.
The chief executive of Daotingsi, according to the plan, surrounded and killed the water bandits.
Soon, the water bandits' defeat was revealed.
Some water bandits escaped from the island and fled along the Shengmen.
But as soon as they stepped out of the gate and landed on the ground, the originally empty place suddenly overflowed with muddy water and turned into a swamp, trapping the water bandits in it.
At the same time, the swamp turned into a whirlpool, as if a pair of hands were dragging the water bandits deeper into the mud.
"Damn it, who set the trap..."
The water bandit didn't finish his words, his mouth and tongue were blocked by the mire, and he had no way to draw on his strength. He struggled desperately, but it was in vain.
The monks from Daotingsi caught up and killed them one by one.
Bagua Dui System Formation——
Quagmire formation.
After thinking about it, Mo Hua felt that this was the formation that was most suitable for use on the island.
There is soil on the island, and there is water beside the soil. When the water and soil blend together, they turn into lake.
Most of the water bandits were trapped in the swamp formation and struggled to no avail, and then were killed one by one by the Daoting Secretary.
The water bandits who escaped from the swamp formation would be tied up in fishing nets as soon as they jumped into the river.
The fishing net is blessed with formations and is very strong and difficult to get rid of. There are also barbs on the net, which are quenched with poison. Once caught in the net, it can only be fish meat waiting to be slaughtered.
If someone is unfortunate enough to leave Mo Hua's nest and create a "death door", he will be chewed to death by numerous water monsters.
With Mo Hua's careful preparations, the water bandits had almost no chance of escaping.
The fighting continues.
There are more and more bodies of water bandits on the island.
Mo Hua estimated the time and felt that the water bandits were almost dead, the scale of the melee was small, and the threat on the island should be less, so he set off and quietly came to the island.
The soil on the island was soaked in blood and felt bloody and sticky when stepped on.
The corpses of water bandits were everywhere.
Mo Hua used the Little Five Elements Concealment Technique, let go of his spiritual consciousness, crossed the gate, and walked into the depths of the bandit's village.
If he found water bandits lying on the ground pretending to be dead along the way, he would add a fireball and send them back to the west, like a "little king of hell" harvesting lives.
Entering the bandit's village, it was a mess.
The fighting continues.
Fire, blood, mud, scattered corpses, and dense footprints were all intertwined.
Mo Hua made some guesses and could probably figure out the locations of Gu Changhuai, Xia Diansi, and a large number of executive officers.
After all, the route they took to break the formation was planned by Mo Hua.
But he himself didn't have to follow that route.
As of now, no one knows the formations in the bandit village better than him, not even Shui Yanluo, the leader of the water bandits.
In the consciousness, the transformation of the formation is clearly discernible.
Mo Hua looked deeply and sensed the flow of the formation, then found a correct direction and walked towards the core of the formation.
There are also some miscellaneous trapping and killing formations along the way.
But in Mo Hua's eyes, these small trapping and killing formations were extremely superficial and could not trap him at all, let alone kill him.
Mo Hua easily passed through these formations, walked invisibly for a while, avoided some scattered water bandits, killed a few seriously injured bandits, and arrived at the center of the bandit village.
Because everything is currently progressing as planned.
So at this point in time, the card is just right, enough for me to do some small tricks.
If the ink painting is correct, Shui Yan Luo is at the center of the small island formation.
Even if Shui Yanluo is not here, this is the center of formation control and the key to the entire bandit village. There must be secrets hidden in it.
You can sneak in first and see if you can fish in troubled waters and get some benefits.
This Water Hell Sect carries the inheritance of Water Hell Sect, and is a treasure that must not be let go.
But this time, Xia Diansi took the lead in encircling and suppressing the water bandits, and the Xiao family also intervened. Uncle Gu could not make the decision, and he could not use the back door.
If Shui Yanluo is really caught and falls into the hands of the Xia family, then all the good things in him will be lost to him.
At most, I can give myself some spiritual stones and meritorious deeds afterwards.
Although spiritual stones are good things, I don’t lack them now.
Not to mention meritorious service.
Most of the ink paintings nowadays are meritorious.
And the things on Shui Yanluo's body cannot be exchanged for spiritual stones and meritorious deeds.
Therefore, if you want to have "meat" to eat, you must learn to seize opportunities.
If there are no opportunities, we must create opportunities.
At this point in time, he had carefully created an "opportunity" using the Eight Trigrams and Eight Diagrams and his suggestions for Xia Diansi's encirclement and suppression plan.
At this time, most of the water bandits were dead.
The formation couldn't stop him.
Shui Yanluo was surrounded and suppressed by Daotingsi, and he would be exhausted from running for his life.
He happens to be invisible, fishing in troubled waters.
In about half an hour, Uncle Gu and Xia Diansi will lead Daotingsi monks to attack here.
This is a retreat.
If something unexpected happens, all he has to do is think of a way and wait for half an hour until Uncle Gu and the others come to save him.
Whether you can eat meat or not depends on this half hour.
Mo Hua's eyes were slightly focused, shining brightly in the dark night, revealing the meaning of a hunter.
He remained hidden and approached the center of the bandit camp.
The center of the bandit village is a large stone village surrounded by wooden fences.
This seems to be the leader's residence, the place where the water bandits gather for meetings, and the center of protection of the Eight Trigrams Array.
On the periphery of Shizhai, there were many water bandits defending and some formations were also deployed.
But these formations are not clever.
The most important thing is that there is no deliberate formation of shadows or dust formations to specifically suppress concealment.
Generally speaking, they really don't need it.
But the current situation is somewhat unusual.
Mo Hua quietly walked into the stone village like a ghost by virtue of his superb Xiao Wu Xing concealment technique.
No one found him.
After entering the stone village, Mo Hua raised his eyes and spotted Shui Yanluo in the hall.
At this time, Shui Yanluo and a few people who looked like small water bandit leaders were gathering at the table in the middle of the hall to discuss something.
It is better to call it a discussion than a "quarrel".
"...Who brought those sons of bitches like Dao Tingsi here?!"
"How the hell do I know?"
"Someone must have leaked the news..."
"We have a traitor!"
"The river shape around the village is so dangerous that I don't even know the way."
"Without a mole to lead the way for these lackeys, I absolutely don't believe they could get into the village."
"There are also formations..."
"Didn't you say that this formation is so impregnable that others can't break it? Why does it look like it's made of paper?"
"Every advance or retreat is all calculated by others."
"What the hell is the use of talking about this now? The top priority is to find a way to defend against the enemy!"
“In order to fight against foreign aggression, we must first settle down at home, do you understand?”
…
A group of people were noisy, each holding their own opinions and discussing.
"alright!"
On the high seat, Shui Yanluo, with fair skin and unruly eyebrows, had a solemn look on his face.
It seemed that Shui Yanluo was very prestigious, so the water bandits sitting down all fell silent and no longer dared to speak.
After a while, someone finally said in a deep voice: "Brother, Daotingsi is about to come in. What should we do now?"
Someone shouted: "Brother, let's kill these sons of bitches!"
"How do you kill him? There is a golden elixir on the other side." The water bandit next to him sneered.
"So what about the golden elixir? This is the border of the second-grade state. If we really fight to the death, it's not necessarily who will die..."
"What the hell are you talking about? Build a foundation and kill the golden elixir. Kill one and show me?"
"Damn it, you look down on me..."
...A group of fierce bandits started arguing again while talking.
Shui Yanluo's face was as cold as frost, and he was cursing in his heart. They were a bunch of idiots who only knew how to fight and kill without any brains.
"Okay!" Shui Yanluo said impatiently, "Keep the green hills here so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. I have a back-up plan and we can leave through the secret passage."
"Brother, how can this be possible? Many of our brothers have died, so just escaping like this is too embarrassing..."
Shui Yanluo flicked his hand and whipped out a vicious water torture whip.
The little leader of the water bandits who spoke had a bloodstain on his face, and he couldn't help but feel pain.
Shui Yanluo's eyes were cold: "Can't you hear what I said?"
The little leader immediately looked worried and did not dare to speak any more, and the others also shut up.
Shui Yanluo nodded slightly, his eyes showing coldness, "Brothers' revenge will be avenged sooner or later, there is no rush. The most urgent task is to avoid its sharp edges first, and these accounts will be settled later."
"yes!"
"That's what the elder brother said!"
"Everything must be obeyed by big brother!"
…
A group of water bandits responded.
Shui Yanluo said: "You guys step back first and give you a moment to burn the incense. After packing up, we will set off and leave..."
"yes!"
A group of water bandits stood up to say goodbye and left the hall one after another.
Shui Yanluo was the only one left in the hall.
Shui Yanluo's face was still as dark as water. After a moment, he cursed and murmured: "There are really Dao Tingsi's lackeys coming..."
Although the words were very light, they still reached Mo Hua's ears.
Mo Hua, who was hiding in the corner, frowned when he heard this.
What does this mean?
Did Shui Yanluo hear the news beforehand? But he didn't believe it in his heart, so he didn't take more precautions?
Who told him?
While Mo Hua was thinking, Shui Yanluo had already stood up and walked towards the stone room inside the hall.
Mo Hua thought for a moment and followed silently.
Based on his experience, Shui Yanluo would most likely pack up his things and prepare to run away.
Now that Dao Tingsi is coming to the door, facing a great crisis, the things he packs must be life-threatening treasures.
Mo Hua followed Shui Yanluo into the stone room.
Inside the stone chamber, there is a secret room.
Shui Yanluo opened the door of the secret room in front of Mo Hua and walked into the secret room.
Perhaps because the enemy was in front of him, Shui Yanluo was a little distracted, so he didn't notice Mo Hua following quietly behind him.
After entering the secret room, Mo Hua was a little surprised.
This secret room was completely different from what he had imagined.
In his mind, there should be an altar in this secret room. As long as he finds a way to get the Water Yama away, and then sits on the altar, he can "order food" for himself.
Afterwards, they waited to return to the sect and have a hearty meal.
The consciousness of the Nineteenth Pattern can also be taken a step further.
But in the secret room in front of him, there was no such altar as he wanted.
Not to mention the altar, there are not even some statues of evil gods.
This is a simple secret room used to store various spiritual stones, elixirs, and looted loot.
Mo Hua was disappointed.
Although this secret room was obtained by Shui Yanluo over many years of plundering and was worth a lot of money, it was still inferior compared to the real altar.
While Mo Hua was disappointed, his pupils suddenly shrank.
When he saw Shui Yanluo, he ignored the dazzling array of treasures in the entire secret room. Instead, he went straight to the deepest part of the secret room, turned the candlestick, and took out a box from the hidden compartment on the wall.
The box was wrapped in black cloth.
A cold, sinister aura, full of sinister thoughts, came out instantly.
"Box……"
Mo Hua's heart skipped a beat.
Shui Yanluo, who had always been serious and indifferent, suddenly became very excited when he saw this box. His eyes were shining with excitement, and even his hands holding the box were trembling slightly.
It seemed that this box was as important as life to him.
The precious and important place of Shuiyanluo has unveiled the black cloth.
Under the black cloth is an aqua blue jade box.
On the jade box, there is a picture of a strict and cold prison.
The picture shows a prison. The prison is filled with various torture instruments. On each torture instrument, there are prisoners who are being tortured, suffering from torture and pain, wailing, struggling, and desperately calling for help.
The jade box is aqua blue, but this picture is bloody, and seems to contain ferocious thoughts and cold evil aura.
Shui Yanluo took one look and became obsessed.
It seems that in prison, the prisoners who were tortured and died of despair are the most beautiful scenery in the world.
He couldn't help but caress the jade box and couldn't put it down. After a while, he remembered that at this time of crisis, it was more important to escape.
Shui Yanluo checked the jade box carefully again, and only after confirming that there was no damage or abnormality in the jade box, he felt relieved.
He covered the jade box with black cloth again, and then wanted to put the jade box into his storage bag...
At this moment, a chill shot straight into the sky.
An extremely dark but extremely ferocious murderous intention rose from his back.
Shui Yanluo felt his heart and mind trembling.
"Someone... wants to kill me?!"
When the omen of death came, at this critical moment, he bit his teeth until blood flowed, activated all his spiritual power to the extreme, and tried his best to avoid the murderous intention behind him. At the same time, he desperately waved his long whip and killed behind him. .
His efforts paid off.
The murderous intention behind it was gone.
Shui Yanluo's reaction was extremely fast, coupled with the vicious and swift movements of his long whip, forcing the cultivator who was attacking behind him to withdraw his uncondensed spell and dodge.
From the corner of Shui Yanluo's eyes, he could only see a few extinguished flames.
Although there was only some breath left, it gave him a strong sense of oppression.
It seemed that as long as the spell was successfully condensed and he couldn't avoid it, he would die on the spot.
"What on earth...is this spell?"
Shui Yanluo's eyes trembled.
Also, who is attacking me? !
The fear in Shui Yanluo's heart subsided, and then he became very angry.
He was almost, just a little short of it, capsizing!
Shui Yanluo released his breath to the extreme, the muscles all over his body were tangled, the poisonous water energy flowed in the meridians, and his eyes were filled with evil energy.
But before he could see through the enemy's traces, another killing intent came from behind him.
The twisted firelight lit up.
The slight burning sensation is chilling.
Shui Yanluo was shocked, and immediately dodged at an extremely fast speed, whipping behind him with his backhand.
The fire went out again.
The spell was interrupted again.
That terrible spell was not condensed.
Shui Yanluo breathed a sigh of relief.
And the despicable guy in the shadow, after two failed sneak attacks, seemed a little unwilling and anxious.
Shui Yanluo's heart moved slightly and he said angrily:
"You are such an evil beast, you dare to pull out your teeth from the tiger's mouth. How courageous you are! Even if the enemy is in front of you today, I will catch you and use all kinds of torture to torture you to death!"
Shui Yanluo's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
This person only knows how to hide and make sneak attacks, and has nothing to fear from the front.
As long as he is careful, if he catches his trap, he will definitely die.
But before he could think about it, another ray of red light lit up in the dark secret room.
"It's behind me again!"
Shui Yanluo sneered.
After experiencing two sneak attacks, he felt that he knew the attacker's methods very well, and he immediately used his sinister spiritual power to kill behind him.
But this move is different.
The fire light condensed very quickly, and the technique was completed in a blink of an eye. The back was already pressed by the flames, and there was a slight burning pain.
Shui Yanluo was shocked, but then calmed down.
There was only a burning pain in his back, and the injuries were minimal. It seemed to be just an ordinary fireball spell, not the terrifying fire spell that made his heart palpitate.
"What's the meaning?"
This fireball technique can only scratch the itch.
At this moment, another fireball hit his arm.
My arm burned a little and was a little numb, but that was about it.
Shui Yanluo didn't even bother to look at the injury, but sneered to himself and said disdainfully: "You want to kill me with just this little magic?"
But no one responded at all.
Shui Yanluo frowned.
"Escaped?"
Just give up so easily?
What a coward...
Shui Yanluo raised the corners of his mouth with a hint of sarcasm.
But the next moment, he realized that something was wrong...
The fireball hit his arm, causing slight burning pain and numbing his senses. However, at this time, the water spirit power circulated a few times, the burning pain subsided, and his senses gradually regressed. Shui Yanluo suddenly realized that the weight in his hand was not right... …
It seems a lot lighter?
Shui Yanluo's pupils shrank, and he immediately lowered his head to look, feeling shocked.
The black cloth is held in the hand, and there is a jade box in the cloth. Even in a life-and-death battle, he never let go.
But at this moment, someone made a cut on the black cloth, and the jade box inside...
Missing? !
Shui Yanluo's lips turned white and his whole body was shaking with anger.
He understood instantly!
First, use terrifying spells to create a strong sense of crisis in yourself, so you can't be distracted by others.
Then use ordinary magic to make yourself paralyzed.
Finally, he hit his left arm with an extremely fast fireball.
Taking advantage of the burning pain in his arm and his dull perception, he cut off the black cloth and stole the jade box!
Shui Yanluo instantly lost his mind and his eyes were scarlet.
"Damn thief!!"
"I will cut you into pieces and crush your bones into ashes!!"
At this time, outside Shizhai.
The ink painting, which was stopped as soon as it was ready, pushed the passing water step to the extreme. He was holding the jade box in his arms and running all the way, his eyes sparkling.
nice one!
Making a lot of money!
Run!
Then he set off a firework signal and shouted into the distance: "Uncle Gu, save me!"
