Chapter 754 Secret (Additional update for alliance leader Shu Shiouo~)
Mo Hua chatted with Cheng Mo for a few more words, letting him rest in peace and recuperate. After that, he returned to the disciples' residence and secretly took out the small part of the demon cultivator's arm.
This arm has a bit of demonic energy, and according to the sect's rules, it cannot be brought into the sect.
But Mo Hua told Elder Song the cause and effect of the matter, and he was considered to have passed the "clear path" with Elder Song.
Although Elder Song didn't know what Mo Hua would use this arm for, this thing itself could be regarded as the "trophy" from Mo Hua's victory over the demon cultivator.
Mo Hua said it would be useful to keep it. Elder Song hesitated for a moment and then returned it to Mo Hua.
Although there is still demonic energy left on this demon cultivator's arm, it is already very small.
Even if he is given an ink painting, the harm will not be great.
What's more, Mo Hua is Mr. Xun's valued disciple.
With Mr. Xun's "backing", he would turn a blind eye to Mo Hua's demands as long as they were not particularly excessive.
Mo Hua thanked Elder Song and began to study as soon as he returned to his disciple's residence.
He first found the elixir, soaked his arm, and washed away the blood on it, as well as the remaining fine sword fragments and gold-based sword energy after the explosion of the Broken Gold Sword Formation.
He specially asked a "junior brother" who was proficient in alchemy to prepare this elixir for him.
After washing, the blood on the arm faded, revealing its original flesh color.
On the skin, lines of formations also appeared.
These formation patterns are simple and mysterious, and seem to have been passed down for a long time. However, the formation of the core formation has some primitive and wild atmosphere.
It’s the Four Elephants Formation!
And if you look carefully, you can find that these four-image formations are like pictographic characters, imitating animals.
The belly of the pen is like the back of a demon, the tip of the pen is like claws and teeth, and the shape is like a wolf pattern.
It looks like a pattern of four elephants and wolves.
The ink painting is carefully studied, with eyes showing deep contemplation.
This is not the first time he has seen the Four Elephants Formation.
He had seen similar patterns on the vulture's bald head before.
Similarly, Mr. Xun also taught him the basic four-image pattern.
But the two are completely different.
The formation pattern that Mr. Xun taught him is upright and elegant, and is a real "animal pattern".
The patterns on the vulture's head and the demon cultivator's arms are obviously inheritance from another lineage.
The shape is different, the lines are like demons, more like "demon lines".
In the four-image formation, the animal patterns and demon patterns obviously have similar origins.
But what is the specific origin, animal patterns or demon patterns, and which one is orthodox, it is difficult to say in ink painting.
After all, he knew very little about the Four-Elephant Formation. He had only heard about the origins of the Four-Elephant Formation from Mr. Xun.
The Four Elephant Formation is an ancestral formation inherited by the wilderness monks from generation to generation in the wild land south of Kyushu.
Wild land...
Mo Hua's mind was slightly agitated. He quickly recalled everything he saw and heard after entering the border of Qianxue State...
I had previously calculated and compared the array patterns, and concluded that the Four Elephants Demon Pattern Array should be the work of "Mr. Tu".
The yang-horned evil god that Mr. Tu believes in is called the "Lord of the Great Wilderness". This great wilderness should refer to the Three Thousand Wilderness Mountains.
The four-image formation originated from the monks of the wilderness tribe in the wilderness.
The evil god with sheep's horns is the evil god of the wilderness.
So, this four-image formation is the "inheritance" from the Evil God's hometown?
Are these demon cultivators with the Four Symbols Formation also the minions of the Great Wild Evil God?
"If that's the case, what are these demon cultivators doing hiding in the Demon Refining Mountain?"
Mo Hua had some vague guesses in his mind, but after much thought, he still couldn't get a clue.
He recalled everything about Demon Refining Mountain, bit by bit, and then he was suddenly startled:
"Monster!"
So far, the monsters he has met in the Demon Refining Mountain are of rare types and many of them are his first time seeing them, but somehow, there is always a subtle sense of familiarity.
Duan Jinmen robbed his pig-headed demon for the first time.
The bloody fox snatched by the demon cultivator.
There are also other ordinary wolf monsters, snake monsters, cow and horse monsters...
These are all the demons and evil spirits that he killed and "eat" when he was fighting evil gods along the way. They are somewhat similar.
Especially the huge pig-headed demon, and the fox-like demon who is half-fox and half-female in pink and can cast charms.
When he "ordered" food from the altar before, he also ordered and "ate" it.
Demon, half human, half demon, blood-refined demon.
The demons under the command of the Great Wild Evil God are composed of ferocious and bloody stumps. They are half human and half demon.
The mutilated human limbs come from monks who were abducted, sold, exterminated, and slaughtered and dismembered.
Most of the stumps of the "demon" among demons come from...
Demon Refining Mountain?!
Mo Hua felt a chill in his heart.
So, this demon refining mountain is the "breeding mountain" used to sacrifice the demon army in the Great Wilderness Evil God's conspiracy?
"More than that..."
Mo Hua frowned.
If most of the demon beast materials for blood-refining demons come from the Demon Refining Mountain, then there must be a large number of demon cultivators who have become minions of the evil god.
Moreover, relying solely on demon cultivators is definitely not enough.
The best a demon cultivator can do is hunt demonic beasts.
In this process, there must be someone to help with transportation, dismemberment, sacrifice, etc...
And most importantly, it must be hidden.
Can't let anyone find out.
Mo Hua thought again about the vast and dead forest, which was integrated with the Shinto formations and where his spiritual sense could not distinguish any breath, and he felt a chill in his heart.
In that seemingly ordinary mountain forest, there may be a secret that is more terrifying than I expected...
"Besides the demon cultivator, who else is helping the evil god?"
Mo Hua only pondered for a moment before he had a guess in his mind.
Broken Golden Gate...
That fat pig-headed demon is fighting against me at Duanjinmen.
At that time, I just thought that Duan Jinmen had a shameless nature and always behaved like this, like to steal other people's things.
Of course, Duan Jinmen is indeed shameless and likes to steal other people's things.
But now that I think about it carefully, there may be other tricks hidden in it.
Moreover, after Duanjinmen suffered a loss later, it actually ceased its activities and no longer had any disputes with Taixumen.
This is indeed not like the style of breaking Jinmen.
Now it seems that they have ceased their activities, perhaps because some conspiracy was not discovered, so they had to endure it for a while and act in a low-key manner.
Maybe the secret is...
Duanjinmen is helping the evil god hunt monsters and sacrifice demons!
Mo Hua was shocked, and then became even more confused.
Where did Duanjinmen get such courage?
Aren't they afraid of being held accountable by the Taoist court, which will cut off their orthodoxy, destroy their foundation, seal their inheritance, and erase their names?
And...to what extent was Duan Jinmen involved in this matter?
Are everyone involved from top to bottom?
Or is it just a small group of disciples, or a family faction secretly plotting something?
Does the head of Duanjinmen know?
What about their ancestors who were in seclusion?
To be continued...
