Asking about longevity

“Why can’t I see…”

"Are there other evil gods hidden in this? Does Mr. Tu have a deeper plan?"

Mo Hua pondered for a long time.

But there were too few clues and he still had no idea for the time being.

The revival of the evil god and Mr. Tu’s grand plan lasted for who knows how many years.

Without actual cause and effect, he would not be able to find any clues just by sitting in the room and daydreaming.

However, there is another question that makes Mo Hua curious.

Mo Hua held his chin, frowned, and muttered to himself:

"If this Duanmu Qing really had been to Yanzhizhou..."

"So what will she do on the Rouge Boat?"

"Play?"

What about Duanmu Qing?

She is a woman to begin with, it is impossible for her to "play" with other women...

So she just... plays with men?

Start your own harem, keep male lovers and gigolos, and live a life of debauchery?

“Tsk tsk~”

Mo Hua shook his head, feeling emotional.

You can know a person’s face but not his heart…

On the surface, she is such a cool fairy, but behind the scenes, she plays so much...

The more glamorous and beautiful people in this world appear, the more corrupt they may be behind the scenes.

However, this is just his blind guess.

He couldn't quite tell whether this was the case.

There's no way, this circle is too chaotic and too complicated.

As a pure person, I really couldn't imagine what these powerful children from aristocratic families would do in Yanzhizhou's secret room...

It's too late to find out now.

Because Yanzhizhou had been blown up by him.

Thinking of this, Mo Hua suddenly got a flash of inspiration and realized a problem:

"I blew up the Rouge Boat. Did I also blow up Duanmu Qing's pretty boy as well?"

"Isn't that why she wants to kill me?"

“That’s not right…”

"At first, she didn't want to kill me. It was only when I said she was 'heartbroken' that she broke down..."

"But why does she care so much about this?"

Mo Hua frowned and thought for a long time, but still didn't understand.

This woman, Duanmu Qing, looks extremely beautiful, but she is also very fierce, mysterious, and a little neurotic, making her hard to understand.

"Pay attention later..."

"Duanmu Qing... and three other geniuses in academic studies, and..."

"Mr. Tu..."

Mo Hua nodded, his eyes were deep and revealed a glimmer of light like a flame.

Afterwards, he put aside all distracting thoughts, calmed down, and continued to concentrate on studying the formation.

Things are intricately connected and need to be solved step by step.

When it comes to learning formations, it is like dripping water wears away a stone, so it cannot be abandoned.

Many situations are unclear right now. Learning more formations will give you more support...

Mo Hua concentrated his attention and began to study the formation.

At present, he is learning the formation and still following the previous plan.

One is to return to the performance of the Four Dragon Diagrams.

The four demon patterns of east scales and west claws obtained through the adventure in Ten Thousand Demons Valley are pieced together to form an array pattern, and the demon patterns are returned to their source, thereby restoring a complete "dragon pattern".

This kind of tracing back to the source is very difficult and time-consuming, and cannot be achieved overnight.

But it is of great help in deepening the understanding and practice of the Four Symbols Formation.

If you can really rely on your own abilities, you can create a "dragon".

In a sense, he possesses attainments far beyond those of ordinary formation masters, enough to be called the master of the Four Symbols Formation.

Therefore, in Mo Hua's eyes, this kind of return to performance itself is both a form of learning and a comprehension and improvement of the battle formation.

In addition, there is the Anti-Spirit Formation.

Mo Hua had already learned the basics of the Anti-Spirit Formation.

He had already begun to comprehend the principles of the Anti-Spirit Array a long time ago.

Therefore, in learning and mastering the second-grade Anti-Spirit Formation, Mo Hua did not face many real "big hurdles".

But small thresholds continue.

There is no way. After all, this is a second-grade formation and it is not so easy to learn.

It requires persistent practice and the contemplation of water dripping through a stone.

You have to put in enough effort and then everything will come naturally.

Ink painting is full of expectations.

Once he completely masters the Anti-Spirit Formation, he will truly master the power of the second-grade "Absolute Formation".

You can use your own Anti-Spirit Formation as the "fire" and other people's formations as the "mediator" to set off bigger "fireworks".

Of course, these fireworks may not actually be set off.

But the ability to set off fireworks is a must.

Mo Hua nodded, then suppressed his distracting thoughts, calmed down, and began to concentrate on studying the formation.

The Four Symbols Dragon Formation and the Reverse Spirit Formation are the two types of formations that Mo Hua is currently trying his best to conquer.

Both of these formations belong to the category of ultimate formations.

It is hard to learn and difficult to practice.

The whole process is long, obscure and boring.

With the repeated consumption and recovery of spiritual consciousness, after racking his brains, he continued to fail, suffered setbacks, and gained enlightenment through meditation...

But I enjoy ink painting.

There is no shortcut in formation, this is the path that formation masters must take.

Moreover, it is a road to a higher level of formation realm.

Precisely because it is extremely difficult, it is extremely precious...

…

The next day, the sword fight continued.

Mo Hua temporarily kept Duanmu Qing's matter in mind. He was still learning the two unique formations.

But the situation of the sword fight became more and more tense.

In particular, when they went into the sword fight, they were defeated by Duanmu Qing of the Wanxiao Sect, and the little "fragile" advantage that Taixu Sect had originally had was instantly wiped out.

Fault tolerance is further reduced.

Daluomen chased after him and pressed forward step by step.

It seemed that with only a difference of a few wins, Taixu Sect's ranking was about to slip again and it would fall from the top position among the eight major sects.

The Taixu Sect naturally refused to accept this.

Not only Mo Hua, but several other teams of Taixu Sect disciples were also fighting hard. Almost every battle ended in exhaustion and was extremely tragic.

During this period, the five Tai'a brothers, Yang Qianjun, and several other teams also fought hard to win several games.

These victories were hard-won, but compared to the overall situation, they seem a drop in the bucket.

The overall gap between Taixu Sect and Daluo Sect has not widened.

In this way, Mo Hua cannot afford to lose.

Afterwards, we discussed the Dao and the Heavenly Order and continued to deduce the list.

Mo Hua had two more sword fights, one against the top disciples of Lingxiao Sect, and the other against a lower-class team of Qiandao Sect.

Although these two teams are not the strongest, they are definitely not weak and should not be taken lightly.

Mo Hua's tactical thinking is still based on "formation", assisting Linghu Xiao and others in killing.

He knows so many formations.

Within the second grade, the five elements and the eight trigrams are all included.

Killing array, defensive array, trapping array, he is proficient in them all.

Cover him with a small blanket before the battle, and no one will know what kind of formations he will draw secretly.

Any formation is possible.

Combined with the terrain and competition system, we adapt to local conditions and the times, and there are countless changes that are hard to guard against.

Linghu Xiao and his companions, after experiencing so many sword fights, have made great progress in both strength and mentality.

It is assisted by the ink painting formation.

The Taixu Sect's team has indeed reached the level of a half-step "top" team.

Therefore, although the two sword battles with Lingxiao Sect and Qiandao Sect experienced some twists and turns, they were both won.

Although he won the sword fight, Mo Hua had a bad feeling.

Through these two sword duels, he felt that his conventional formations and routines seemed to have been figured out...

Despite the previous sword fight, he had been restrained enough and did not abuse the formation.

Most formations are used on the blade.

When drawing the formation, it was covered with a small blanket.

But none of this seems to be of any use.

Mo Hua could vaguely feel that when other teams dealt with his formation, their every move formed a kind of norm, similar to a "chart".

Others may not notice this kind of norm, but it cannot be hidden from the delicate mind and keen perception of Mo Hua.

And this kind of "charter" type of thing could never have been created by these disciples.

Because their attainments in formations are far from reaching this level.

Mo Hua pondered for a long time, and guessed in his heart that this might be a certain formation elder...

Or maybe it was a certain group of formation elders...

Get together, divide the work and cooperate, combine the terrain and competition system of the sword fight, and deduce your own formation routines and schools.

This kind of deduction is similar to a real combat simulation.

Using divine consciousness to simulate, he deduced what kind of terrain, what kind of competition system, what kind of opponent he would target, and what kind of formations he would use in the sword fighting competition...

Mo Hua took a deep breath.

"Not really..."

"I am just a small sword-fighting disciple. Is it necessary to target me with such fanfare?"

But his experience and intuition should not be wrong.

There must be "rules" in the behavior of opponents in a sword fight.

As for this "charter", where did it come from, who made it, what is its specific form, and what is contained in it...

It is hard to guess the ink painting at the moment, and it is not easy to guess.

But soon, he no longer had to guess.

Two days later, someone personally handed him the "Charter".

In the dining hall, Mo Hua looked at a jade slip made of white jade in his hand and fell into deep thought.

The name of the jade slip is:

"Rules for Ink Painting".

Full name: "The code of conduct that must be adopted in response to Mo Hua's various insidious tactics in the sword-fighting competition."

This code of conduct was given to him by Song Jian.

According to Song Jian, "All sects that are hostile to the Taixu Sect, or that have been defeated by you in the sword-fighting competition, have this code."

"Ordinary disciples don't have it."

“But among the four major sects and the eight major gates, almost every genius disciple who can participate in the sword-fighting competition and advance to the earth level has one.”

Duanjinmen, because of Mohua, has a deep feud with Taixumen and is considered a "hostile" sect.

In this sword-fighting competition, because of Mo Hua, Duanjinmen lost many games to Taixumen and was defeated miserably.

Also because of Mo Hua's "behind-the-scenes manipulation", Song Jian is now a genius who ranks among the top in Jinmen.

Therefore, this "Guidelines for Ink Painting" was sent to Song Jian.

Finally, it was forwarded to Mo Hua himself.

The cycle of cause and effect is very clever.

Of course, Mo Hua felt very complicated when he looked at this "code of conduct for himself".

In the dining hall, not only ink paintings are being looked at.

Cheng Mo, Situ Jian, Hao Xuan and other junior fellow apprentices also leaned over to look at the "Rules of Mo Hua" in Mo Hua's hand.

Even Linghu Xiao, who happened to come to Taixu Mountain for a free meal, couldn't help but secretly glance over.

The core purpose of "Guidelines for Ink Painting" is to target ink painting.

Its content is divided into many chapters: including "Magic Chapter", "Body Movement Chapter", "Formation Chapter", and a page of "Psychology Chapter".

The chapter on scheming has the fewest words, and is mainly composed of some anonymous disciples of the sect orally narrating some experiences of being "cheated" as a warning.

Included: "Don't talk to Mo Hua before the battle;"

"Don't listen to the slander of ink painting;"

"Mo Hua is an extremely sinister person. All his words are for the purpose of achieving his tactical goals. There won't be a single word of truth in them. "

"Beware of all his schemes..." and so on.

Mo Hua was very unhappy.

The prejudice in people's hearts is indeed a huge mountain.

It is outrageous that such a sincere person like me would be called "sinister"...

Fortunately, the number of words in "The Mind" is not long, which shows that this is only the opinion of a minority of people, a prejudice, and should not be taken seriously.

The ink painting continued to look back.

The "Spells Chapter" is very detailed, and it lists in a fluent and exhaustive manner all the low-level five-element spells that Mo Hua has used in the sword-fighting tournament so far.

There were even some extremely obscure and unpopular little spells that Mo Hua had only cast once and he had forgotten about them himself, but they were all recorded in this "rule".

Behind each spell, there are notes on how to deal with it.

Because it is a small spell, you don’t need to pay too much attention to it, so most of the time, it’s just a sentence.

The only truly special ones are the Fireball Spell and the Water Prison Spell.

Especially Fireball.

The whole article is filled with "Be careful with Fireball!", "Beware of Fireball's finishing blow!", "It is better to die first than to be humiliated, remember!"

Behind the Water Prison Technique, there is also a list of a lot of things to note about the Water Prison Technique, as well as talismans, spiritual tools and methods that can be used to deal with the Water Prison Technique.

There are also statements such as "the water prison technique is disgusting" and "it is better to be hit by the earth prison technique ten times than to be hit by the water prison technique once."

Although I don’t know who compiled these texts.

But one can vaguely feel the "gnashing of teeth" hatred and pain between the lines of the ink painting.

After that, there is the art of concealment, which also lists many precautions.

Including the origin of his stealth skills, the types of stealth, how to break the stealth, how to track, and when to use spiritual weapons...

At the same time, some people also noted:

"Beware of ink paintings that use visible concealment to confuse the audience, otherwise you will be treated as a 'big fool' and teased. Remember this."

The ink painting was confusing.

Big fool? Who is it?

After the "Magic Chapter", comes the "Body Movement Chapter".

This is much more "professional".

Someone broke apart and crushed Mo Hua's body movements, every move and every posture, and drew them on a jade slip.

Break it down move by move.

There are also some flaws in the body movements and techniques.

These were probably all copied, drawn, and then patiently studied from the sketches.

Every move of his body has been studied thoroughly, even down to the pores.

I guess his eyes are almost blinded.

Mo Hua sighed, but didn't worry too much.

Because physical skills are a kind of strength.

Even if you are familiar with his moves and know his weaknesses, it is still impossible to catch him because your movements are not as good, fast, or precise as his.

What's more, the powerful foundation of the Ink Painting Flowing Water Step lies in the powerful and subtle control of the spiritual consciousness.

It only broke some "moves", which is not very meaningful.

Therefore, although this chapter on body techniques seems to be very detailed, it is just “paper talk” and is not worth worrying about.

But in the end, the "Formation Chapter" with the most content is troublesome.

He only took a quick glance at the ink painting and read two lines before frowning.

As he expected, this was indeed a response plan deduced from his formation, combined with actual combat experience in sword fighting.

So far, he has only fought a limited number of games using high-level formations.

He has always kept some of his methods hidden.

Logically speaking, there is not much material available for reference.

But the problem is that this is the world of Ganxuezhou, with many sects. There are not only many geniuses, but also countless elders with rich experience in various cultivation methods.

Among them, there must be a large number of skilled formation elders.

There are not many materials about fighting with formations in ink painting.

Then these elders will rely on their knowledge and experience to conduct simulations and deductions.

They laid out the competition system, defined the terrain, matched the opponents, and then based on their rich experience in formations, the rules of second-grade formations, and Mo Hua's habits of deploying formations, they "deduce" the actual situation of the sword fight.

This kind of deduction is full of possibilities.

First of all, the Mohua Society has too many types of formations.

Secondly, different competition systems, different terrains, and different opponents will lead to different developments in the battle situation and different applications of formations.

In a specific sword fight, when will the ink painting appear, what formation will be used, where will it be placed, and what are the easily identifiable signs.

How to be alert, how to perceive, how to explore, how to target... and so on.

The situation here is really too complicated.

However, time is very tight for the sword-fighting competition.

Therefore, such massive simulations and deductions could not be completed by a few formation elders in a short period of time.

It must be a large group of elders who worked day and night, expending a lot of spiritual consciousness and pouring a lot of effort into listing various battle situations, formulating various countermeasures, and concentrating all their essence to have this densely packed volume in front of us:

"Rules of Ink Painting: Formation".

The ink paintings are truly amazing.

These formation elders are truly powerful.

At the same time, he was also speechless.

These formation elders are really bored...

As the formation elders of the major sects in Ganxuezhou, is it necessary for them to target a small foundation-building disciple like me?

Isn’t their spiritual consciousness valuable?

Even if your spiritual consciousness is worthless, you still have to cherish your hair...

Even if spiritual consciousness is damaged, it can be restored.

If your hair falls out, it may not grow back again.

Our flesh, blood, bones, body, and hair are inherited from our parents and are in accordance with the laws of nature.

Even for monks, hair can’t grow just like that, otherwise there would be no bald heads in this world…

Mo Hua had a headache and couldn't help sighing.

The fellow disciples who were looking at this "code" with dense and clear rules, which had so much effort put into it, were also shocked.

Cheng Mo exclaimed: "Little Senior Brother, you are really impressive."

"In all the sword-fighting competitions I've seen, I've never heard of anyone coming up with a 'rule' just to target a particular disciple."

Others nodded in agreement: "Little Senior Brother, you can truly be called the 'number one swordsman'."

"Unprecedented..."

"I guess there won't be anyone coming later..."

Mo Hua's face turned dark.

People are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat.

When people become famous, they get into trouble; when pigs become fat, they get slaughtered.

This is not a good thing.

Mo Hua was a little dissatisfied, "No one has ever been targeted like this before?"

"As far as I know," Hao Xuan shook his head, "No..."

Mo Hua didn't understand, "Then why are you targeting me?"

"Maybe because you are so irritating..."

A group of junior brothers of Taixu Sect said silently in their hearts.

Regardless of Senior Brother Mo Hua's other abilities, his ability to "make people angry" is definitely top-notch.

It is even more powerful than his formation.

If it's intentional to irritate people, that's fine.

The key is that sometimes he can make people angry unintentionally.

The most annoying thing is to make people angry unintentionally.

Especially when he makes people angry, he still looks innocent, which makes people even more infuriated.

This point was vividly demonstrated in this sword-fighting conference.

Of course, it is difficult for them to say this.

After all, in Taixu Sect, the little senior brother is still respectable and lovable.

"It's probably because you, little brother, are different from other geniuses..."

"What's the meaning?"

"Other geniuses are strong in their cultivation, which is hard power."

"But you, little brother, are strong in Taoism and formations. This is a means of strength."

"Hard power is not easy to target. The strong is strong and the weak is weak. However, means can be restrained in various ways..."

Some disciples also speculated: "It's probably because of women..."

"Young Senior Brother, you have offended Lu Zhenlong, and indirectly offended many of her admirers..."

Ordinary people can be offended if they are offended, but women cannot be offended, especially beautiful women.

Cheng Mo quickly added: "And Duanmu Qing..."

During the sword-fighting competition, Duanmu Qing chased after his junior brother and tried to kill him, with an attitude of "fighting to the death".

Someone sighed: "At the same time, he was held in the academic conference, and the two fairies were holding a grudge and hunting him down. This little brother is destined to be in love..."

Mo Hua's face became even darker.

…

After dinner, Mo Hua returned to his disciples' residence.

He was busy drawing the formation and thinking of ways to deal with the next sword fight.

With this "Rules of Ink Painting", his skills, especially the conventional formation routines, have been studied thoroughly. The next sword fight will probably not be so easy.

But deep down, he had some doubts.

In this "Code of Conduct", the formation part should have been written by the formation elders of each sect.

Because experienced formation masters are needed to simulate and deduce the actual combat of the formation.

What about the rest?

Who made it?

Mo Hua frowned.

At the same time, in the Tu Mo Ling, the mysterious person who was as blurred as magnetic ink wrote in bold ink:

"The many methods for ink painting have been summarized and recorded in the Code."

"Everyone should have a copy of this Code."

"In the future sword discussions, we will continue to supplement and improve them."

"Our motto: Ink painting must die!"

"Our goal: to kill Mo Hua!"

A bunch of people below also followed suit and wrote "Mohua must die!"

And this "Ink Painting Code" is also in the hands of the people of the Demon Slayer League, constantly circulating and improving...

In the following hundreds of years, the "Code" born in the sword-fighting competition was the predecessor, and the monastic scriptures that were gradually perfected had another famous name:

"The Treasure Book of Tu Mo".
