Ground formation...

Mo Hua's expression changed, and he was really shocked now.

"Senior, what exactly is this formation used for?" Mo Hua humbly asked for advice.

"There are many types of ground formations and they have many uses," the old man said, "but the most common ones are related to the earth."

The old man pointed to the abandoned mine ahead, "For example, there are many ground formations buried in the mountains ahead."

Mo Hua's heart was moved, and then he pretended not to know and asked: "Do you mean that earth formations are needed to mine mines?"

"No." The old man shook his head.

"That's... to detect mineral veins, you need to use ground formations?"

"No."

"Then..." Mo Hua frowned.

The old man looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "It's a tomb."

Mo Hua murmured: "Tomb..."

"That's right," the old man said with enthusiasm as he looked at the mountains in the distance, "the earth tolerates all things, not only the living, but also the dead."

"When a person is alive, he is born on the earth, and after death, he sleeps under the earth."

"But the living do not leave the dead in peace."

"If the dead want to be at peace, they must build tombs and draw formations. With the power of formations, the tombs can be hidden in the earth's veins, blended with the earth, be close to the Tao Yun, and gain the protection of heaven and earth, thus staying away from the causal entanglements of living people."

"This type of formation is the ground formation."

"The ground formation..." Mo Hua was dazed for a while, then suddenly realized and said in surprise, "You said that there are ground formations buried in the mountains in front of you, doesn't it mean... that there are tombs buried in the mines in front of you?"

The old man nodded, "Not bad."

"But..." Mo Hua frowned, "Is there a mine ahead? There are so many mines, how can there be tombs?"

"Besides, those mountains are unremarkable. If there are tombs built, how could they not be visible at all?"

The old man said with a smile: "A layman sees the excitement, an expert sees the door. Under the impetuous appearance, there is a deep door. Outsiders know nothing about it, so naturally they can't see anything."

"Expert..." Mo Hua muttered to himself and asked in a low voice: "Senior, what do you do?"

The old man smiled softly and did not answer.

Mo Hua looked a little worried and wanted to get up quietly, but when he turned around, he found three people walking from a distance.

The three of them were all short in stature and were wearing cloth clothes with some earthy smell on them.

They all deliberately restrained their auras, but Mo Hua could sense that these three people were all of the same color, they were all golden elixirs, and their aura of spiritual power was a bit weird.

Mo Hua then stood up, cupped his hands and said:

"I benefited a lot from listening to what my senior said. It's getting late, so it's time for me to teach you, so I'll leave first."

But the old man shook his head, "You can't leave."

Mo Hua's expression changed slightly, "Senior, what do you mean?"

"For no reason, why do you think I have to tell you so many things?"

"Isn't this... because we are destined?"

The old man in commoner clothes laughed, "Little brother, you are young, let me teach you one thing: walk in the world of cultivation and don't talk to strangers."

"The world of cultivation is dangerous. You have no idea who is talking to you."

"You don't even know what their intentions are?"

"Just like now, you don't even know who I am..."

The old man's breath changed, and there was no trace of kindness, and a gloomy smile like a vulture appeared on his face.

Mo Hua wanted to run away, but in the blink of an eye, three golden elixirs had surrounded him, blocking his escape direction.

"Some people really fall into a trap."

"We have been looking outside for a long time, but we didn't find any good products. But we didn't expect it, and there were idiots who came to our door..."

"Mr. Pi is so lucky..."

"The skin is tender and the meat is tender, the cultivation level is not low, the appearance is really good..."

Mo Hua looked flustered, "I...I am a disciple of the sect, and the elder of the sect is in the city. Are you afraid of offending the elder if you attack me?"

Several people were unmoved.

One of them sneered and said: "What good sect can be found near Gushan City? Also, considering your spiritual power, you will only have a middle-grade spiritual root if you die. With this qualification, what good sect can you join?"

Mo Hua felt a little unhappy.

However, with three golden elixirs and one at the pinnacle of foundation building, if they really fight, I will definitely not be my opponent.

"Sneak away first, then call someone to come, find a way to catch these thieves, throw them into the prison, torture them slowly, and ask them to understand their intentions..."

Mo Hua gradually made up his mind, but on the surface, he still looked panicked:

"I...I'm just a foundation-building disciple. If you catch me, it won't be of any use."

Mo Hua let go of his spiritual consciousness, looking for the weaknesses of several people, thinking of escaping with a water shadow.

"Why is it useless? You are of great use. Without you, we..."

"Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about? Catch the person first."

Several people were about to take action, but were stopped by the old man, "Wait a minute, this kid is so skinny and tender. Once he makes a move and gets injured or accidentally killed, it will be useless..."

"I'll be careful."

"You can't be careful...you guys are so rough."

"It's really troublesome."

"Nonsense, there are a lot of things to pay attention to when offering that thing. The essence, spirit, skin, blood, flesh and bones must be intact. There must be no injuries, otherwise the door may not be able to be opened..."

"It's hard to find one in this barren mountain. If you accidentally kill him, where can you find the second one?"

"Too……"

Mo Hua paused and frowned slightly.

The old man in cloth clothes looked at Mo Hua, and his tone became gentler:

"My little friend, you are so young, so we won't make things difficult for you. Let's do it like this. You do us a favor honestly. After the job is done, we will let you go and give you a big gift to cover your food and clothing for the rest of your life. No worries, no worries about spiritual stones, success in cultivating the Tao."

Mo Hua shook his head: "I don't believe it."

"Boy, don't you understand the situation..." One person sneered and wanted to attack Mo Hua.

The old man stopped him with a stern look, then looked at Mo Hua and said slowly:

"Little brother, let me tell you the truth. In this situation, you have no other choice..."

"Either we kill you now, throw your body into the mine, and be eaten and wiped clean by the mountain demon. Your parents, your sect elders, will never find you."

"Either you come with us and do us a small favor. When it's done, I'll keep you alive and give you some benefits."

When Mo Hua heard that his bones were going to be thrown into the mine, his face turned pale for a while. After being frightened for a while, he finally seemed to accept his fate and asked:

"You...don't lie to me?"

"I won't lie to you."

"After it's done, will you really benefit me?"

The old man turned his head and said to one of the big men: "Bring something out."

The big man was slightly startled, "What?"

"You can dig it out from below and take it out at will." The old man said.

The big man was a little reluctant, but he still touched his sleeve, took out a small jade piece, and threw it to Mo Hua.

Mo Hua took it and found that the jade was in the color of dark jade, with cold tentacles and a damp, cold air of yin and death.

"This is just a fraction. If you are obedient and do things in a down-to-earth manner, there will be more benefits in the future." The old man said.

Mo Hua believed it now, he accepted the jade device, nodded and said: "Okay."

The old man looked satisfied, nodded, and then said to the big man next to him: "Take out a pair of shackles and handcuff him."

Mo Hua was shocked, "Why are you cuffing me?"

"Don't be afraid, this is just in case." The old man said, "If you are really obedient, I will untie you later."

"oh……"

The big man took out a pair of heavy shackles and tried to put them on Mo Hua.

Mo Hua's eyelids twitched.

Third grade shackles?!
