Jian Gugu looked inexplicably frightened, and the bones in his body were trembling.
This little ancestor, what is he doing?!
Can the supremely majestic ram-horned skull enshrined in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons be casually sat under one’s buttocks?
It's so lawless that you want to die.
"You must get away as soon as possible, and you must not follow this little ancestor, otherwise one day he will commit suicide without knowing the truth, and he will be punished by heaven. A thunderbolt will strike him to death, and he will be implicated as well."
Jian Gugu said anxiously.
But ink painting doesn’t matter so much.
The sheep skull is not very comfortable to sit on, it is ice-cold, cool, and a bit yin-y, but it is smooth at least, so it is okay for sitting on.
Conditions are limited, so we can’t choose so many.
So, Mo Hua used the sheep skull enshrined in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons as a small bench and sat down to eavesdrop on the discussion between the leader in black and Jin Gui.
At this time, Jin Gui was reporting something respectfully.
"Forgive me, leader... The old weapon refiner suddenly went crazy for some unknown reason. He killed the demon cultivator who was guarding him, detonated the evil weapon room, and killed himself. Fortunately, the boy from the Ouyang family was fine..."
"But the old weapon refiner is dead, and there is no demon cultivator in the valley to teach the evil sword forging method. The master's plan may be delayed for a while..."
"In addition, outside the gate of the Ten Thousand Demon Prison, a demon cultivator suddenly died and went crazy..."
"This is already the seventh time."
"And for some reason, I occasionally find that something is watching me, or even... the entire Ten Thousand Demons Prison."
"I doubt……"
Jin Gui paused and did not continue.
The black-clothed leader's eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a low voice: "Do you suspect...that someone might have sneaked in?"
"It may not be a human being," Jin Gui said, "Maybe... it's something from the Demon Refining Map that escaped..."
The leader in black's eyes darkened.
Jin Gui hurriedly explained: "I have thought about it. If these things happen naturally, the possibility is too small. It is also impossible to say that there is someone behind the scenes."
"Not to mention that the Ten Thousand Demons Valley is heavily guarded, no one can get in."
"Even if someone really gets into the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, they will never be able to do these things under our noses without leaving any traces."
"Especially something like making the demon cultivator lose control."
"The only possibility is... the Demon Refining Map!"
Jin Gui raised his eyes and glanced at the leader in black, with a very solemn look on his face, "So I guess it's those terrible things from the Demon Refining Chart... that escaped. Because they are intangible and insubstantial, no matter what trouble they cause, they will not be easily caught.
Discover."
The leader in black narrowed his pupils and nodded slightly.
Mo Hua, who was hiding behind the ram horn statue, couldn't help but nodded.
This Jin Gui is quite smart.
His explanation seems quite reasonable.
The leader in black thought for a moment and said slowly:
"Okay, I understand. I'll be responsible for this, so you don't have to worry about it. Since it's about the Demon Refining Map, it's dangerous and unpredictable, so it's not something you can solve."
Jin Gui lowered his head and cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
He showed no emotion on the surface, but he let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.
This "pot" has finally been thrown out...
Things are not going well in Ten Thousand Demons Prison today, and situations occur frequently. As the manager, he cannot escape the blame.
If you keep covering it up, the pot will only get bigger and bigger. One day, the paper can no longer contain the fire, and you will face the punishment of the young master.
If you don't cover it up, you will be blamed.
The person you blame is very particular.
First, eliminate the demon cultivators inside the Ten Thousand Demon Valley.
These demon cultivators are controlled by the demon patterns and do not dare to disobey in the slightest. Moreover, they stay in the valley all day long. Many things can be found out with a single investigation and they cannot lie at all.
Secondly, it is not good to say that "outsiders" invaded.
As we all know, no "outsider" has entered the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons for hundreds of years since it was built.
How could it be such a coincidence that as soon as I became the manager, I would become an "outsider"?
This excuse is too obvious.
Moreover, there is no way to verify it.
In this case, the only reason is the terrifying things in the Demon Refining Map.
This excuse was something he spent a lot of time thinking about.
If this is the case, then you have deceived yourself.
If this is not the case, the situation is so confusing that no one can say for sure.
No matter what, you can't blame yourself.
Monsters are invisible and disasters are without warning.
The matter of the Demon Refining Map is mysterious and inexplicable, and these are simply not within the scope of my ability.
The pot was thrown away naturally.
Not only will the leader not blame himself, he will also feel that he is careful and cautious.
These days, no matter whether they are sect disciples or demon cultivators, they all need to know how to do things.
Personal ability is one thing, and whether you can "report" is another.
As expected, the leader in black no longer bothered about Jin Gui's affairs, and focused all his attention on the demon refining chart.
Jin Gui may be arrogant about this matter, but his guess is indeed not unreasonable. The Demon Refining Map is the center of the entire Ten Thousand Demons Valley, and no matter what, there can be no mistakes.
The leader in black frowned and thought.
At this moment, Jin Gui's heart moved slightly and he said again:
"Leader, wasn't there a monitoring formation in the Ten Thousand Demons Prison before? If this type of formation is reactivated, will it be possible to know...what happened in the Ten Thousand Demons Prison?"
The leader in black shook his head: "No, those formations can no longer be used."
Jin Gui was puzzled, "Why?"
The black-clothed leader said solemnly: "You still don't know the reason for this place... About two years ago, when a magic cave in Bishan City on the border of the second-level state was about to be completed, it was brought to the Tao Tingsi by a distinguished man.
The person died because of this.”
"Afterwards, we inquired and learned that the spiritual vision complex used for surveillance in the heavily guarded Bishan Demon Cave was infiltrated and used by others. This gave Daotingsi's lackeys an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"Mr. Tu was worried that the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons would make the same mistakes again, so he temporarily dismantled the entire Yuan Magnetic Complex Formation and sealed it completely to avoid future troubles."
"Lest our own 'eyes' see for others..."
The leader in black said.
Mo Hua was stunned.
I see……
He was still wondering before why the perfectly good Yuan Magnetic Vision Complex Formation had to be completely dismantled and completely sealed.
It turned out to be the "evil" I had done in the first place!
Jin Gui is still a little puzzled, "The Yuanci Formation is a very partial formation. The Yuanci Spiritual Vision Complex Formation is an advanced complex formation. It is impossible for the sect to teach it. The Dao Tingsi people are too busy and there should be no such formation."
Talent... who can penetrate the Yuan Magnetic Array and use it in reverse?"
The leader in black said solemnly: "I don't know either, but according to Mr. Tu's expectation, this person must be a very knowledgeable and accomplished master of formations!"
Mo Hua nodded.
Mr. Tu is right!
The leader in black said again: "Be careful and keep an eye on those three brats..."
"That brat from the Ouyang family is trying to get him to forge evil swords. In this way, he has a younger brother who forges evil swords for us, and his sanctimonious brother will have to serve us..."
"The master is very optimistic about the swordsman genius who rushed to the Xumen. He can take him on board the ship, and after a long period of intoxication and happiness in the world, he will also be the master of the world."
"As for the one from the Song family... it depends on whether his parents will listen to him or not. If it doesn't work, just sacrifice it directly. There is no use in keeping it."
The leader in black warned again.
"Yes." Jin Gui cupped his hands and said.
"You go down." The leader in black waved his hand.
Jin Gui bowed and then withdrew.
The leader in black was the only one left in the main hall. He sat down in the middle, took out a few rolls of demon-skin paper, and began to read by himself.
Mo Hua really wanted to know what he was looking at, but unfortunately he was far away and couldn't see it at all.
"What he's looking at could be the Shinto formation..."
The ink painting is a little itchy.
After half an hour, there was another movement outside the door.
The leader in black closed the demon paper and said:
"Come in."
A figure wearing a black robe walked in, but compared with the black-clothed leader, Jin Gui, or other demon cultivators, this figure looked much "thin".
He is more like an ordinary "human" than a demon cultivator.
Mo Hua is a little confused.
At this moment, a man in black robe walked into the hall, lifted his hood, and complained at the same time:
"This place is so dark and smelly. Cousin, it's a shame you can stay here..."
cousin?
Mo Hua frowned, took a closer look, and was suddenly startled.
He also knew this person.
Jin Yicai!
He is the direct descendant of the prominent Jin family in Duanjin Gate.
Mo Hua remembers clearly that this Jin Yicai, his ancestor was the head of Duanjin Sect eight hundred years ago. Now his grandfather is the great elder of Duanjin Sect, his father is the deputy head of Duanjin Sect, and his mother is the true elder of Duanjin Sect...
The whole family is from the top of Kinmen.
I almost grew up with a silver spoon in my mouth.
Last time at the Yanshui River, Jin Yicai was selling monks and smuggling banned pills. It could almost be said that he had both the stolen goods and others, but in the end he was suppressed by the superiors.
Since then, he has apparently kept a low profile.
But he didn't expect that he was still making trouble behind his back.
The leader in black glanced at Jin Yicai and asked, "Is your whereabouts secret?"
Jin Yicai said: "Don't worry, my father has grounded me, but the people who are looking after me are all guests. They want to see my face and do things. They don't dare to ask where I have been. Otherwise, I will complain to my mother.
, saying that these guest officials have bad attitudes and are disobedient to control, so they should not even think about hanging around in Duanjinmen."
Jin Yicai sneered, "That's what it means to be close if you are not close."
"I give them face and treat them as guests and elders; if I don't give them face, they are just dogs raised by my Jin family."
As Jin Yicai spoke, he walked to the middle of the hall and sat down in a swaggering manner.
??????55.??????
The black-clothed leader frowned, "Be careful with your words and actions, and be polite to your guests. No matter what you think in your heart, at least pretend to be so on the surface."
"I'm too lazy to pretend..." Jin Yicai shook his head, turned to look slightly bright, and asked:
"Cousin, if you asked me to come over, could it be that those things were used to study the way out?"
Mo Hua frowned slightly when he heard this.
That thing? What thing?
When he was confused, he heard the leader in black say, "You can try it first if you have a clue."
Jin Yicai looked excited, "Okay!"
The leader in black hesitated for a moment, opened a roll of demon-skin paper, and said slowly:
"Originally, a direct descendant like you would not draw demonic patterns under the eyes of the ancestors and the head of the family all day long, so as not to expose his traces."
"However, the following several Taoism conferences are of great importance and cannot be delayed... Therefore, even if there is a possibility of being discovered, we have to take risks."
Jin Yicai was startled when he heard this, and looked a little nervous. He seemed to be still afraid of his ancestor and the head of the family, so he said worriedly:
"If it is discovered..."
The black-clothed leader interrupted: "The situation is special now. If we are discovered, it will be fine."
Jin Yicai looked stunned, "Cousin, I don't quite understand..."
The leader in black glanced at him and asked meaningfully: "Are you doing this for yourself?"
Isn't this nonsense?
People who don't do it for themselves will be punished by heaven and earth.
Jin Yicai nodded, suddenly stunned, and slowly thought about it, "It's not for myself..."
The leader in black nodded and agreed:
"That's right, the Sword Discussion Conference is coming soon. You are doing this for the sake of the sect and the family, not for yourself!"
"No matter what means you use, as long as you can really win the ranking in the Sword Discussion Conference, win glory for the sect, and make great contributions to the sect's subsequent restructuring, even if the ancestors know about it, they will only
Turn a blind eye."
"In fact, not only will they not blame you, on the contrary, they will also think that you have abilities that can be put to great use!"
"It doesn't matter whether the means are dirty or not, as long as they can be used. The winner is the king and the unjust means is the iron rule in this world."
"As long as you win, no matter how evil you are, no matter how evil you are, no matter how dirty you are, there will still be those ignorant fools who will look up to you."
"On the contrary, as long as you lose, no matter how noble your character is, you will only be ridiculed and cast aside."
Jin Yicai still had some concerns: "Then if the matter is revealed..."
The black-clothed leader's eyes darkened, "As long as you can win, even if the matter is exposed, my ancestor will cover it up for you."
"Don't forget, you are a direct descendant of the Jin family. Together with the Jin family and Duan Jinmen, we will both prosper and suffer! How could they not know it, ancestors?"
Jin Yicai suddenly understood and felt completely relieved.
"Okay, cousin, I will listen to you."
The leader in black nodded slightly, then opened the demon paper and said:
"This set of things still needs to have a demonic method or magic power as the basis."
"In my opinion, it is best to draw demon patterns. This is the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons. The demon patterns are complete and all kinds of bone and blood materials are of high quality."
"The demon patterns on this picture include beasts such as bears, tigers, and leopards, or birds of prey such as golden eagles, eagles, and falcons. You choose one, and I will tattoo it on your body..."
The leader in black unfolded the demon skin array.
Jin Yicai looked at them one by one and felt that none of them were to his liking.
He glanced down, suddenly his eyes lit up, he pointed at a demon pattern and said: "Cousin, draw this dog pattern for me."
The leader in black was obviously stunned, "What?"
"Dog pattern."
Jin Yicai repeated it again.
The leader in black almost thought he heard wrongly.
Jin Yicai smiled, with a hint of evil in his smile:
"Cousin, to be honest, these days, there are too many female cultivators who come into my cave in the middle of the night. Those bitches are so annoying, but they are also tender and arousing. I have to treat them well.
"
"It is said that the dog demon..."
Jin Yicai showed an expression that could only be understood.
The leader in black looked stunned, a little unbelievable for a moment.
Immediately, his face dropped like water, and his heart was filled with both contempt and anger.
Sure enough, he spoils a loser!
In this world, a running dog still has the heart of a tiger or a wolf.
He, a young man who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, is actually just a wild dog in heat?!
The black-clothed leader's forehead jumped and he suppressed his anger and said:
"Have you thought about it?"
Jin Yicai was completely unaware of the disdain of the black-clothed leader, but still said with a complacent expression:
"Cousin, I've thought about it. There are so many people working hard in this world, and I don't need to do anything like risking my life and charging into battle. I just want to live a comfortable and happy life."
The leader in black was silent for a long time, and then said silently:
"OK."
Jin Yicai looked happy, "Thank you, cousin!"
The black-clothed leader showed no emotion or anger, and only said solemnly: "This is your choice."
"It's natural."
Jin Yicai had a look of anticipation on his face. He could almost imagine himself singing and singing every night and conquering without sleep.
"good!"
The leader in black said indifferently.
Then he silently took out his pen and ink, followed a "dog" pattern on the demon paper, and drew a four-elephant dog pattern formation on Jin Yicai's back.
He used a bone pen, dipped it in human blood, and drew demon patterns.
This is the process of the evil formation, accompanied by the severe pain of evil.
Jin Yicai grimaced in pain and tried to get up several times, shouting hoarsely.
The leader in black didn't care. He pressed Jin Yicai on the table as if he were killing a pig. His wrist was steady and his strokes were like a knife, until he finished painting a four-elephant dog pattern formation in a bloody manner.
After finishing the painting, Jin Yicai was covered in cold sweat, collapsed on the ground, panting heavily, and said intermittently:
"Cousin...it's just a formation, why does it hurt so much? It's like the flesh and blood and the formation are forcibly sewn together..."
The black-clothed leader's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes became more contemptuous.
If you can't bear this little pain, why should you be a monk?
What else do you want to do?
But he did not say it out loud, but simply said:
"This four-image formation is quite special. It emphasizes the fusion of formation and flesh and blood. If you slack off too much in your physical training, you will naturally feel pain. You will feel much better after that."
Jin Yicai's face turned pale, "Cousin, please only draw this formation once..."
He didn't want to suffer this pain a second time.
The leader in black nodded, "Yes."
Jin Yicai breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he thought that after he drew the formation, he would soon be able to "show off his power" and do whatever he wanted, and the unhappiness in his heart was fleeting.
It's not unacceptable to suffer a little.
Jin Yicai asked again: "When can I leave the valley?"
Mo Hua, who was eavesdropping, changed his expression when he heard this.
Out of the valley?
The black-clothed leader said, "It's not possible for now. Let's talk about it next time we open the valley."
Jin Yicai nodded.
Although he wished he could immediately return to his cave in Duanjinmen - no matter how small his cave was, it was still better than the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
But things always have their weight, and he is not really so brainless.
The black-clothed leader said: "You go back first, and after the four-image array on your body has integrated with the flesh and blood, come back again. What comes after is the key."
Jin Yicai hesitated, "Then..."
The leader in black understood his concerns, snorted in his heart, and said indifferently: "I will use other formations later, which are not as bloody and painful as this."
Jin Yicai felt relieved, cupped his hands and said, "Cousin, please do your work first, I won't disturb you anymore."
After saying that, he turned and left.
After Jin Yicai left, the leader in black looked at his leaving figure, stood there for a long time, and then couldn't help but sneered:
"It's weird to expect something like this to keep the Golden Gate intact..."
"Obsessed with fame and fortune, soaked in honey, fed with natural resources and treasures...what kind of things are they taught to each generation?"
The leader in black looked coldly.
After that, he walked to the center of the hall and continued to look at the formations on the demon paper, as if he was learning something.
The hall became quiet for a moment.
As the lights flickered, there was only the sound of turning paper.
There was no one to chat with, so Mo Hua couldn't eavesdrop.
Hiding behind the statue, he couldn't do anything else and was a little bored for a while.
I don't know how much time passed, but just when Mo Hua felt like he had nothing to do, the leader in black suddenly made some movement again.
He glanced at the dial on the table, closed the demon paper, and murmured in a low voice: "The time has come..."
Mo Hua was slightly startled.
The time has come?
What time has it come?
While he was wondering, he noticed that the leader in black suddenly walked towards him.
Mo Hua was slightly startled. After taking a closer look, he realized that the black-clothed leader had not noticed him. Instead, he walked straight to the statue of the ram-horned demon and knelt down slowly.
He knelt very reverently.
At the same time, he muttered in a low voice: "The boundless wilderness, the supreme God..."
"His life is immortal and his life span is endless..."
"May the Lord God bless me and give me great spiritual thoughts..."
"Please sir, give me some advice and give me the secret of the formation."
…
As Mo Hua listened, he felt more and more something was wrong. At this moment, the leader in black kowtowed three times to the demon statue.
After kowtowing three times, a mysterious and evil spiritual aura arose from him.
Above his shoulders and above his head, a bloody figure slowly emerged.
This bloody figure had a strange and terrifying aura. He looked like a gentleman, but his blood was hazy and his face could not be seen clearly.
Mo Hua's pupils suddenly shrank.
A familiar name slowly came to mind:
"Mr. Tu!"
Chapter completed!
