Chapter 621: Five Hidden Gates

Latest URL: bixiashenghua

The teeth formed a "storage bag" and sealed an inheritance jade slip.

These two hidden old men are truly insidious and cunning.

Murong Caiyun and the others looked surprised, and then they looked at Mo Hua, even more shocked.

How did they feel that this little junior brother was even more cunning than the two hidden old men?

He could even discover the jade slip hidden inside someone else's teeth and even break the teeth to find the jade slip.

The two hidden old men were panicking and felt even more unbelievable.

He had hidden this jade slip extremely secretly. For over a hundred years, no one knew about it except himself.

How exactly did this little devil "see" it?

But looking at Mo Hua, whose eyes were squinted in a smile as he held the jade slip, looking very happy, the two hidden old men felt a resurgence of resentment and venom in their hearts. He said with a cold laugh:

"Little devil, don't... be happy too soon..."

He had lost a mouth full of teeth, so his speech was a bit airy.

"This is an inheritance jade slip, with a seal pattern added. If you don't know the seal pattern, you can't open the seal. You will never be able to get the... Small Five Elements Hidden Trace Technique formula inside..."

"Only I, a descendant of the Five Hidden Gate, know the jade slip seal pattern in this world!"

The two hidden old men revealed a proud and fierce laugh.

Ouyang Feng raised his eyebrows and pointed his sword finger at him, "Hand over the seal pattern, and you won't have to suffer..."

The two hidden old men spat out a mouthful of blood, laughing despite the pain, "This old man doesn't care about mere flesh pain..."

Ouyang Feng frowned, "What do you want?"

"What else could I want?" A sly, cold light appeared in the two hidden old men's eyes, "Naturally, it's my life..."

"I'll hand over the seal pattern, and you all let me go!"

The two hidden old men said with a ferocious laugh.

Ouyang Feng shook his head, "Don't dream."

"Then so be it," the two hidden old men sneered, "If you all kill me, this jade slip is also useless."

Murong Caiyun frowned and turned to look at Mo Hua.

She saw that Mo Hua was focused on fiddling with the jade slip, his expression very concentrated, looking like he really wanted to know what the formula inside the jade slip looked like...

She felt a little soft-hearted, thought for a moment, and then her voice sank slightly as she threatened the two hidden old men, saying:

"Even with a sealed jade slip, there's no array master who can solve it..."

"That's right!" The two hidden old men laughed coldly, "Even if there is an array master who can solve it..."

"Array masters who are proficient in yuan magnetic arrays are already few in number. Array masters who can reverse and use yuan magnetic arrays to solve seal patterns are even rarer..."

"Constructing a yuan magnetic array, applying seal patterns and secret patterns, is completely different from cracking a yuan magnetic array, solving seals, and solving secrets."

"Being able to draw doesn't necessarily mean being able to solve..."

"Even if they can solve it, how precious is the time of this kind of array master? Their divine sense has to calculate carefully. Will they act for a mere obscure inheritance from the Foundation Establishment period?"

Murong Caiyun's expression was grave.

The others also hesitated a little.

They indeed wanted to ask for the Small Five Elements Hidden Trace Technique formula for Mo Hua, but the demand of the two hidden old men was impossible to promise.

The two hidden old men had done many evil deeds. Even if it wasn't for merit, it was impossible to let him go. Letting the tiger return to the mountain was absolutely something they wouldn't do.

If they were to ask another senior array master to solve the sealed jade slip, the price would be too high, even much higher than the merit they would get from this mission. This was simply not worth the loss.

The two hidden old men saw that the crowd was a little shaken, and grinned again, saying:

"Moreover, solving the seal is not that safe. If you solve it incorrectly and destroy the magnetic pattern inside, then this jade slip will be completely useless."

"Afterward, it will be impossible to obtain the inheritance of the Five Hidden Gate again."

Ouyang Feng's gaze was like a sword, and he snorted:

"What nonsense? The orthodox inheritance is in the Five Hidden Gate. The Five Hidden Gate is still there, so the inheritance is there. You are merely an evil disciple of the Five Hidden Gate."

The two hidden old men's smiles suddenly became manic, and their voices twisted.

"The Five Hidden Gate is still there?"

"Hehe, the Five Hidden Gate is still there?!"

"Gone, it's already gone!"

The two hidden old men smiled through their blood, "This jade slip is the last inheritance. The Five Hidden Gate is also about to be removed from the name..."

Murong Caiyun and the others looked at each other, their brows furrowing even tighter.

"Two hidden old men, you're talking nonsense, what crazy words are you saying?"

The two hidden old men smiled, ferocious and meaningful, "Believe it or not, I'm just telling you that this is probably the only Five Hidden Gate jade slip you will ever see. If you solve it incorrectly and damage the magnetic pattern, you will never be able to..."

Before the two hidden old men finished speaking, they heard a clear voice say:

"Done!"

The crowd was stunned and turned their heads, only to see Mo Hua with the jade slip stuck to his forehead, his eyebrows raised, his eyes smiling, savoring something.

Murong Caiyun and the others opened their mouths, their faces showing confusion.

Done...

Has he solved the seal pattern?

"Impossible!"

The two hidden old men's expressions instantly changed drastically. He stared with wide eyes, his face panicked, then he pondered carefully and angrily rebuked:

"Right! Impossible!"

"Shameless little devil, pretending to deceive me!"

"How could my Five Hidden Gate jade slip seal pattern be something you can solve just by saying you can solve it?"

Mo Hua saw that he didn't believe it, thought for a moment, and then recited according to the jade slip:

"Small Five Elements Hidden Trace Technique, the Five Hidden Gate's ultimate skill, generally not passed on..."

"Perceive the five elements, fuse into heaven and earth, to hide oneself..."

"Small hidden hides in a leaf, great hidden hides in the five elements of heaven and earth."

"Its meaning is profound, its use is vast..."

"It can attack, can defend, can live, can kill, can hide, can have form see no form..."

"Cultivators, do not bully in the dark..."

"But the hider hides in the dark, so they must not rely on the technique to do evil, spy on people, plot people's lives, pick flowers and rob, be despised by the same path, make the sect ashamed..."

"Anyone who violates this will have their technique crippled and be expelled from the sect..."

Every time Mo Hua recited a sentence, the two hidden old men's faces turned a little paler.

By the time Mo Hua finished reciting, his face was already like white paper, without a trace of blood color, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"You..."

"This... how is this possible..."

Mo Hua sighed again, "You have already violated the Five Hidden Gate ancestor's teachings..."

He was proficient in the Small Five Elements Hidden Trace Technique, yet he specifically used hiding to sneak attack and kill people, even opening intestines and breaking stomachs, with cruel methods.

Other things, such as spying on people, picking flowers, and robbing things, he probably did not do less of.

Once people have an opportunity, they want to do evil.

Not everyone is as kind and has a firm Dao heart as himself!

Mo Hua nodded.

With the Small Five Elements Hidden Trace Technique in hand, the two hidden old men were no longer useful.

These two hidden old men were old criminal cultivators, vicious in nature, sly and cruel in methods, and very hard-mouthed.

He wouldn't say anything. You could only pry open his mouth yourself to get what you wanted.

Now everything Mo Hua wanted was in hand.

Afterward, he just needed to hand the two hidden old men over to the Dao Court Department and exchange them for merit points. Everything would be fine.

"You go to the Dao Court Department and eat your last meal!"

Mo Hua looked down at the two hidden old men kneeling on the ground and said.

The two hidden old men still looked viciously at Mo Hua, seeming to want to remember Mo Hua forever, even as ghosts they wouldn't let go of Mo Hua.

Mo Hua wasn't afraid of him.

If he became a "ghost", he would be even less afraid.

But seeing the two hidden old men looking at him viciously, Mo Hua wasn't that generous either.

Under Mo Hua's "kind" suggestion, the two hidden old men's arms were broken again, their right-hand tendons were also picked, and their meridians were also crippled...

In this way, he could no longer stir up waves.

Ouyang Feng grabbed the two hidden old men by the collar and dragged him all the way, leaving Canglang Mountain, going through the Luopan Mountain road, and bringing him to the Dao Court Department in the territory of Qianxue.

Handing over the two hidden old men to the Dao Court Department went quite smoothly.

The two hidden old men, who had broken hands and legs and no front teeth, like a "cripple", were temporarily thrown into the Dao Prison. After being reviewed by the court department, their crimes would be decided and punished.

Then the crowd could return to the sect and wait for the mission to be settled before issuing merit.

Mo Hua still wanted to see Gu Dian Si, but he looked left and right, looked around, and didn't see Gu Changhuai's tall, upright, elegant, somewhat self-conceited, somewhat flashy figure.

Mo Hua asked the executive officer, and through the executive officer's explanation, he learned that Gu Changhuai had gone to carry out a mission and was temporarily not in the Dao Court Department.

He was a third-grade Dian Si, and he was still quite busy every day.

Mo Hua felt a little regretful.

He still wanted to discuss some matters with Uncle Gu...

With this matter concluded, the crowd was ready to return to the sect.

On the way back to the sect, Murong Caiyun still hired a carriage. Inside were fresh sweet melons and fruits, and also fragrant tea.

Everyone was in a very relaxed mood.

This trip, they originally thought it would take a long time, require a lot of effort, and inevitably involve some danger.

But they didn't expect everything to go unexpectedly smoothly.

No one was injured, not much time was delayed, and they only spent one day to complete the mission and could return to the sect.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the carriage was relatively leisurely.

Murong Caiyun and Hua Qianqian drank flower tea, whispered with their heads down, saying some intimate words, covering their mouths and laughing with their slender hands.

Shangguan Xu wiped his heavy sword.

Mo Hua held a large melon in both hands, while looking at the scenery outside the window, and eating the fragrant and sweet melon.

Only Ouyang Feng seemed to have something on his mind. He occasionally looked at Mo Hua, several times wanting to speak but stopping.

Just when he looked conflicted, he saw a bright red spirit fruit suddenly appear in front of his eyes at some point, and a clear voice sounded.

"Senior Brother Feng, eat a fruit."

Ouyang Feng was startled and couldn't help but laugh. He took the fruit from Mo Hua's hand and said gently:

"Thank you."

Mo Hua nodded, took another bite of the melon, and said with bulging cheeks:

"Senior Brother, what do you want to ask me?"

Ouyang Feng was slightly taken aback, silent for a moment, then sighed and said:

"This matter is actually a bit offensive, but I still want to ask..."

Ouyang Feng paused for a moment and said in a deep voice:

"Junior Brother Mo, how did you solve that seal pattern?"

In the carriage, there was a moment of silence.

Shangguan Xu no longer wiped his sword, and Murong Caiyun and Hua Qianqian no longer whispered, but lifted their heads and looked at Mo Hua with their gazes.

Obviously, they all wanted to know about solving the seal.

But they also worried that this matter involved cultivation secrets, so it wasn't good to ask directly.

Mo Hua said calmly: "I was lucky and guessed it!"

Ouyang Feng bit into a spirit fruit and looked at Mo Hua silently.

Murong Caiyun and the others also narrowed their eyes, obviously not believing him.

Mo Hua then explained: "I remember some secondary thunder patterns. They are array patterns similar to 'secret patterns'. When solving the seal, I just tried my luck and tried them one by one."

"If I was lucky, I could solve it..."

There was indeed some luck involved in his ability to solve the Five Elements Hidden Trace Technique jade slip seal pattern.

The two hidden old men were on Old Man Jiang's "list".

Mo Hua then, with one in ten thousand effort, used the "secondary thunder pattern library" he had collected from Old Man Jiang's jade slip to try and solve the two hidden old men's jade slip seal pattern one by one.

He probably tried over ten times before solving it.

It indeed counted as being lucky and guessing it.

Only above this luck, there was still a need for huge divine sense computing power, a "solid" array foundation, and "solid" array strength.

Genius living in a romance novel s23us didn't know these more profound things. He just exclaimed:

"You learned yuan magnetic arrays?"

Mo Hua didn't hide it and nodded, saying: "I learned a little."

Ouyang Feng sighed in his heart.

True yuan magnetic arrays involved the principle of yuan magnetic. Drawing a two-layer array pattern was vastly different from drawing a rough yuan magnetic array like the small yuan magnetic array.

He originally thought that he had already estimated Mo Hua's array level highly enough.

Yet he didn't expect that he had still underestimated this little junior brother.

"Then..."

Ouyang Feng said in a low voice, "You... can you solve seals?"

Mo Hua said: "I just learned a little, I can't say I can do it, and I can't solve all of them. Moreover, I probably still have to rely on luck..."

Mo Hua exaggerated the "luck" component as much as possible to conceal his "strength".

"Try your luck..."

Ouyang Feng relaxed a breath.

No wonder...

He still thought that Mo Hua could really rely on his own array attainment to stably solve the seal array pattern...

That would be too absurd.

And too dangerous...

Since it was solved by relying on "luck", everyone nodded slightly and said no more.

Mo Hua suddenly thought of something, opened his storage bag, took out the Small Five Elements Hidden Trace Technique jade slip, and asked:

"Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, do you want to copy this hidden technique?"

The two hidden old men were captured by everyone together, and the merit was divided together. Reasonably speaking, the technique should also be divided.

Several people were slightly startled, then all shook their heads.

Ouyang Feng said: "We don't learn hidden techniques, and learning it is useless. You keep it."

"Okay."

Mo Hua put away the jade slip and asked again: "Right, if I hand over the technique to the sect, can I exchange it for merit?"

Murong Caiyun thought for a moment and nodded, saying: "You can, but it's a bit troublesome..."

"Troublesome?"

"Yes." Murong Caiyun said, "The sect's merit system and techniques are actually already very complex. If you hand it over, the elders will need to compare it with the existing techniques before they can decide whether or not to collect it..."

"This is not a problem..."

"The problem is that many techniques need to 'avoid duplication' with other sects..."

"Some techniques, if they have a deep connection with some other sects, are not too suitable for inclusion in the Taixu Gate library..."

"Collecting them rashly will occasionally cause some disputes..."

"Although as long as you hand it over, as long as it's not a too common technique and its origin is clear, the sect will more or less reward some merit."

"But these merits will most likely not be much..."

"In general, the sect still hopes that disciples will exchange for merit by doing rewards and completing missions, rather than handing over inheritances..."

"Right, right!"

Hua Qianqian's voice was clear, and she nodded continuously, gossiping for Mo Hua:

"According to rumor, the 'Small Qi Gate', which is the Duanjin Gate, once did something like this..."

"Some disciples, in order to earn merit, stole inheritances from their own families and handed them over to the sect to exchange for merit."

"The Duanjin Gate greedily accepted the inheritances and shamelessly listed them as the Duanjin Gate's ancestral Dao law..."

"Later, the families of others found them and came to their door. The Duanjin Gate, for the sake of face, refused to admit it. Thus, disputes arose between the two sides, causing many jokes..."

"From then on, the sect became much more restrained in collecting inheritances, and the merit given was also quite a bit less..."

Murong Caiyun was helpless, glared at Hua Qianqian, "Qianqian, the Duanjin Gate is narrow-minded, you should say less bad things about them..."

Hua Qianqian giggled.

Mo Hua nodded slightly and thought of another problem, asking:

"Senior Sister Murong, suppose..."

Mo Hua blinked his eyes, emphasizing:

"I said 'suppose'..."

"I 'inadvertently' happened to obtain several technique inheritances from other sects in Qianzhou. Can I learn them?"

Murong Caiyun's gaze was meaningful, and she asked in a light voice: "Are they high-grade?"

Mo Hua shook his head, "Not high, all low-grade, inferior..."

Superior, high-grade techniques, he couldn't even use them...

"Then it doesn't matter..." Murong Caiyun said.

"They won't trouble me?"

Murong Caiyun shook her head and said:

"Unless you obtained them by 'killing and seizing treasure', and their origin is not right and you are afraid of being discovered... otherwise, generally, for this kind of low-grade, inferior technique, learning it won't have much impact."

Seeing that Mo Hua still didn't quite understand, Murong Caiyun explained again:

"Many cultivators learn low-end techniques, and many cultivators use them. They are also widely circulated, with complex branches, and many times they are similar, making it difficult to prove which technique definitely belongs to which family."

"Just like the fireball technique..."

"You use it, he also uses it, and from the outside, they are all just fireballs. Even if there are differences, general cultivators can't distinguish the inner details, and wanting to pursue the origin is impossible."

"But superior techniques are different..."

"This class of techniques has too obvious characteristics. As soon as you use it, others can see it, and you can't deny it."

"Therefore, in the territory of Qianxue, as long as it's an inferior technique, as long as its origin is clear, you can learn it without any problem."

"But superior techniques, as long as they are not from your own sect, once you obtain them, you must either hand them over to the Dao Court Department or return them to the original owner, delivering them to the opposing sect."

"Otherwise, the trouble is very big..."

"Thank you, Senior Sister," Mo Hua nodded, "I understand!"

The meaning is that for inferior techniques, he can just casually pull wool.

But for middle-grade and superior techniques, especially superior techniques, he cannot casually learn or use them.

Like the Duanjin Imperial Sword Art.

If he wanted to learn it, he must be cautious.

Either don't use it casually, or when using it, don't let "people" see it...

Just like Old Man Jiang.

Understanding this point, Mo Hua felt much more relaxed.

The carriage returned to the territory of Qianxue. Ouyang Feng and Hua Qianqian said goodbye one by one.

When Ouyang Feng got off, he still looked at Mo Hua a few more times, as if he still had something on his mind, but he didn't say it.

Hua Qianqian looked at Mo Hua, her eyes shimmering.

She discovered that this little junior brother, Mo Hua, was innocent and pure on the surface, but a little bit mischievous and occasionally fierce...

Instead, he was more likable.

After Mo Hua and the other two returned to Taixu Gate, Shangguan Xu had something to do and said goodbye first. Mo Hua then walked with Senior Sister Murong for a while.

At the time of parting, Murong Caiyun thought for a moment and admonished Mo Hua again:

"Don't easily mention the matter of solving the seal to others..."

"Okay."

Mo Hua nodded, then asked doubtfully:

"Will there be any taboos in solving a seal?"

Mo Hua knew in his heart that yuan magnetic arrays were difficult to learn and master, and solving seals was also somewhat extraordinary.

But this was just his guess. He didn't know the specific reason clearly.

Murong Caiyun sighed: "Solving seals is very difficult..."

"There are so many sects in the territory of Qianxue, and most of the sect's inheritances are recorded in jade slips. The jade slips also rely on array patterns to 'add seals'..."

"Precisely because solving seals is difficult, inheritance jade slips are widely used to seal and store techniques and form inheritance barriers..."

"If everyone could solve seals, then half of the vast inheritances in the territory of Qianxue would be stolen."

"So..."

Murong Caiyun stopped and looked at Mo Hua meaningfully, "Whether you solved it by your own ability or by 'luck', don't casually say it out..."

"Even if you solved it by 'ability', you should still say you solved it by 'luck'..."

Mo Hua understood and squinted his eyes with a smile, saying:

"Thank you, Senior Sister, I remember!"

Seeing his appearance, Murong Caiyun also smiled gently.

After the two parted, Mo Hua returned to the disciple residence and then impatiently began to study this technique, the secret transmission of the Five Hidden Gate, which fused with the five elements and hid in the heaven and earth: "Small Five Elements Hidden Trace Technique".

This hidden technique was much stronger than the hidden technique he currently possessed.

Although the two hidden old men were experienced, their divine sense was not strong enough to fully utilize the hidden effect.

Moreover, he was still using hiding to do bad things. This hidden technique in his hands was just a pearl covered in dust.

Mo Hua took out the jade slip, just preparing to look at it carefully, when some of the two hidden old men's words suddenly came to his mind again...

At that time, the two hidden old men smiled through their blood and said that the Five Hidden Gate...

"Is already gone..."

"This jade slip is the last inheritance, and the Five Hidden Gate is also about to be removed from the name..."

Mo Hua slowly frowned.

The Five Hidden Gate, which had to move out of the territory of Qianxue because of poor business, was... exterminated?

Were these words true or false?

If the two hidden old men deliberately spoke falsely, that would be good...

But if it was true, then what exactly happened in the Five Hidden Gate...
