Chapter 705: Demon Bone
This notion, enchanted by Mo Hua's words and deepened in divine thought, was deeply imprinted in Master Shi's heart.
Master Shi's eyes held a moment of spiritual loss.
Something seemed to be brewing at the bottom of his heart...
And Mo Hua didn't realize at all that when he was speaking just now, he had unconsciously used a bit of the "Dao Heart Planting Demon" method.
However, this Dao Heart Planting Demon was still very shallow, and not really like the Weird Taoist who plants "demon thoughts" in others' hearts.
It was only through words to shake others' Dao Heart, and to a certain extent, bury a thread of twisted cognition's divine thought "seed" in the depths of their hearts.
This was a complex and obscure divine thought method.
The previous Mo Hua simply didn't have it.
But now, having swallowed a large amount of divine marrow, his divine consciousness had undergone further qualitative changes, and his divinity and humanity had merged into a Dao Heart.
Mo Hua could already almost instinctively use some divine thought methods he had once seen but didn't know where he had learned them from.
So, was the River Crossing Dragon able to draw the bloody unsealing array pattern at the wellhead also because it borrowed some "evil thoughts"?
"Borrowing evil thoughts..."
"I am a traitor."
Moreover, the gods wouldn't use array methods, right?
Helping this little Yan King keep a secret was just helping himself survive!
As long as he kept his mouth shut.
And on this path, whether it was opening the door, setting up an altar, offering sacrifices, or entering dreams, most of it was related to array patterns, and these array patterns were all controlled by Master Shi.
Master Shi threw caution to the wind, no longer concealing anything, but his expression was still devout as he said:
"All this was transmitted to us by the god master through dreams. Whether we learn them or draw them, we all have to borrow the god master's great divine thought..."
"I am already a traitor."
Inside and outside the fishing village, there were many traces of divine path array laws.
Once the god master knew, he would face a punishment more terrifying than death.
The god master would not reason with him, nor would he listen to his explanations.
This Master Shi was still somewhat sensible, and he might have other causes and effects on him, so he could be spared for the time being.
Master Shi himself had thought everything through and straightened it out.
Mo Hua's thoughts were numerous for a moment.
For example, this "Dao Heart Planting Demon" without demon thoughts...
Master Shi's gaze was momentarily in a trance, his pupils losing focus, then after a moment, they returned to normal, only silently recording this sentence in the bottom of his heart and believing it deeply without doubt.
Mo Hua was very satisfied.
Then Mo Hua prepared to get up and leave, but suddenly thought of another matter and said to Master Shi: "Give me the divine path array laws."
Transmitted in a dream?
Divine path array laws were array laws that restrained gods.
Why would they be transmitted by an evil god?
Borrow thoughts to draw arrays?
His staying in this fishing village, besides refining evil pills, was very likely also responsible for the evil arrays, as well as the maintenance and repair of the divine path array laws.
Perhaps these were all the means of the Great Wilderness Evil God?
Mo Hua looked at Master Shi, discovering that his expression was panicked and he should not be lying, but Mo Hua still felt a thread of disharmony.
So this Master Shi was definitely not a simple evil array master.
Mo Hua didn't believe him, "Then where did you learn all your evil arrays from?"
Master Shi's face turned pale, his voice hoarse, but he said firmly:
"Understood!"
Mo Hua frowned.
The guide party, death was not a pity.
"Otherwise, relying on myself, I would not be able to master these profound array laws."
Mo Hua's gaze was sharp, "On your body."
Master Shi was stared at by Mo Hua, not daring to conceal anything, and said with a bitter smile:
"I really don't have this."
"Cannot let the god master know."
"I betrayed the god master."
"Also cannot say out this little Yan King... otherwise my matter of 'leading a wolf into the house' will be known to the god master..."
Master Shi was shocked.
Thinking about it this way, it was likely that he had a complete set of divine path array diagrams in his hand.
"Understood?" Mo Hua asked.
Regardless of whether it was intentional or unintentional, deliberate or careless, it was all a 'leading a tiger into the mountain forest' 'guide party'.
Borrow thoughts, and how exactly do you borrow them?
Yes, this 'little Yan King' is right.
Master Shi looked at Mo Hua's pensive expression, not knowing what he was thinking about again, or what bad idea he was plotting, and his heart inexplicably felt a little creeped out.
Fortunately, Mo Hua finally didn't ask any more questions, only lightly said one sentence, "Let's go."
Master Shi then felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
Everyone left the River God Temple and started walking back. On the way, they discovered that the scene in the fishing village was different from when they came.
The oppressive atmosphere had faded a lot.
The fishy and bloody smells were also gradually dissipating.
The numerous flesh demons inside the dojo suddenly lost spirit, as if their 'souls' had been drawn out, becoming a group of walking dead, struggling almost instinctively in their original places.
The evil spirits in the blood leech mud pit had also all shriveled and died.
The mud pit had also become just an ordinary mud pit.
God and things were the foundation stone.
But since the 'god' was dead, the 'thing' layer would also slowly perish.
The entire fishing village, or rather the entire evil god's 'preaching dojo', had already begun to decay.
However, Mo Hua obviously still didn't want to let go of this evil god's preaching dojo.
When they came, they needed to be careful.
But now, the nightmare was shattered, the River God Temple had collapsed, the River God had been beheaded, and the evil god's incarnation had also been 'eaten'.
Inside this fishing village, there was no longer any person, any god, or even any thing that could pose a threat to Mo Hua.
Mo Hua became bolder and began to search for things like locusts crossing the border.
Anything strange was put into his bag.
Floor tiles, stone pillars, squares, and roads, not even a single trace of the array law was let go.
Even the ground was flipped over.
The Gu family cultivators, and even Master Shi, were all under Mo Hua's command, beginning to dig the ground bit by bit, turning the fishing village upside down.
One by one, the array patterns were discovered by Mo Hua, and then recorded one by one, finally pieced together into a complete array law.
Just like this, Mo Hua used his own method, plus his still profound understanding of array dao, to preliminarily restore a true divine path array law with array patterns, array hubs, and array eyes, forming its own system!
The Gu family cultivators were filled with admiration, only feeling that this young master Mo was truly practical in learning, utilizing every opportunity, and concentrating on researching array law.
No wonder at such a young age, he was already a young array master highly regarded by Young Master Long Huai.
Only Master Shi's face was full of disbelief.
He knew that this was fundamentally impossible.
How could the array laws transmitted by the gods be so easy to restore...
This was fundamentally not as simple as piecing together array patterns.
Before this, he had never seen any array master who had the ability to restore array laws in this way...
There must be a deeper secret to array learning here.
Master Shi's heart was shocked.
This little young master... his array law attainment was possibly much more terrifying than he had previously thought!
This was not only a divine thought monster, but also a true array law monster...
Fear was born in Master Shi's heart, and he didn't dare to have any other thoughts. His attitude was respectful, and he even showed a few points of humility.
Having restored an array dao array diagram, Mo Hua was very happy.
The fishing village had also been flipped almost completely, the ground was even like it had been plowed by a rake, with no other good things.
Mo Hua was satisfied in his heart.
Everyone continued to return along the original road, walking over the small bridge and arriving near the big fish house in the front village.
Several Gu family cultivators were guarding here, guarding the River Crossing Dragon and several other black-clothed people. Because the distance was relatively far, they were safe and sound.
After the group met, they no longer hesitated, pressed the black-clothed people, and walked directly towards the outside of the fishing village.
After walking for a while, they entered the dried-up well path. A deep water pool blocked the front, and there was that powerful water demon in the pool.
A Gu family cultivator wanted to repeat the old trick and throw a dead spot fish into the water pool.
Mo Hua shook his head and said, "No need."
When he came, he was afraid of alerting the enemy, only to be chased over the river by the water demon, and he even fell down.
Mo Hua felt a little resentful in his heart.
"I will draw an array law and first dry up the water, then everyone will work together to kill this water demon!"
A gentleman does not report overnight enmity!
Mo Hua silently said in his heart, and then began to arrange the array law.
He didn't want to show off too much, arranging the array law with the means of controlling ink with divine consciousness, and first using an array disk to arrange several earth fire arrays, and then personally moving his brush to draw several leaving fire arrays on the bricks and stones.
After the array law opened, the fire light filled the air, and a wave of heat hit their faces.
The water in the entire water pool became boiling hot, the pool was scorching hot and boiling, and thick water vapor rose up.
Not long after, a roaring sound came from the bottom of the water.
The water demon soaked in the boiling water, struggling and roaring in the water, but its skin was thick and its flesh was tough. The boiling water couldn't injure it, only let it temporarily suffer in the hot pain of the deep fire in the water.
Less than half an hour later, the pool water dried up.
That ugly and ferocious water demon just lay at the bottom of the pool, a pair of yellow-green eyes glaring at everyone.
Mo Hua waved his hand, and a dozen or so Gu family cultivators immediately rushed up.
When they came, they were also chased by this water demon, and one of their fellow disciples had half of his leg flesh bitten off by the water demon. He also had a belly full of suppressed anger. At this time, he made his move, even more impolitely.
The water demon had no water, and its strength was greatly reduced.
The Gu family cultivators cooperated tacitly, attacking and defending, quite skillfully, but within an incense stick's time, they killed this peak Two Products water demon.
Gu An moved his knife and cut open the water demon's abdomen.
Inside was smelly, and there were undigested human bones, obviously accustomed to eating people. At the bottom of this well, he didn't know how many cultivators he had eaten.
Killing it was also considered eliminating a harm.
Then, under Mo Hua's hint, the Gu family crowd endured the stench and just "dismembered" this water demon.
They were not demon hunters, so they still had to listen to Mo Hua's instructions on how to skin the materials.
Mo Hua just commanded from the side, telling them where to make a knife, where to open the scales, where to pick the bones, and where to peel the meat, saying it all clearly and distinctly.
This water demon was skinned and boned, and its pill was taken. It died a clear and distinct death.
After the materials were peeled, Gu An handed a pale blue demon pill and a long, shiny white spine bone to Mo Hua.
"The demon pill of a peak Two Products water demon, after being refined by a pill furnace, burned clean of demonic power filth, can enter medicine and is worth many spirit stones."
"This spine bone is also a good thing. It is full of water essence and its bone quality is hard. It is a superior material for refining spirit swords."
Mo Hua was startled, "Refine spirit swords?"
Gu An nodded.
They were not demon hunters, so they were not familiar with hunting and killing demon beasts and skinning materials.
But they were from the Gu family and served in the Dao Court Division. They were still relatively proficient in recognizing and using demon beast materials.
"A spirit sword needs a sword embryo. Generally, it will use metallic stones or demon bones as the base material. Metallic stones are easy to obtain, but superior demon spine bones are rare."
"This water demon is at the peak of Two Products and doesn't know how long it has lived. Its spine bone is very suitable for making a sword embryo."
Sword embryo?
Mo Hua's heart moved.
He also thought of becoming a sword cultivator, but he had no foundation in sword cultivator inheritance, his sword qi was not strong, his spirit stones were not wealthy, and his spirit sword was also not good.
But now he had already learned the "Turn Sword Style" of divine thought turning into a sword, barely entering the door. Later, he might become a half-baked "sword cultivator".
What's more, divine thought turning into a sword was also based on sword methods.
He still wanted a good spirit sword.
Just...
Mo Hua looked at Gu An, "You don't want this demon pill and demon bone?"
Gu An said very measuredly: "We act on orders. The Dao Court Division will issue salaries and count merits. We cannot be greedy for these extra wealth."
"Moreover, this action all relied on the young master's cleverness, profound array laws, and proper dispatch. This was originally what the young master should get."
Mo Hua was a little embarrassed by his praise.
Although he also knew in his heart that Gu An and Gu Quan, and these Gu family cultivators, were definitely being so polite to him because of Uncle Gu's face, and they also gave him good things.
But these people were just ordinary family children.
Gu An and Gu Quan, the two brothers, should have a higher status in the Gu family, but it was estimated that they were not direct descendants.
Ordinary family children found it quite hard to get some merits. They needed spirit stones for daily food, clothing, and use, socializing with fellow daoists, and cultivating and learning skills, so they were not that wealthy.
What's more, he would still need to trouble these Gu family big brothers in the future.
Mo Hua thought for a moment, then accepted the demon bone, "I will accept this demon spine bone. Maybe I can use it to refine a spirit sword later..."
"As for this demon pill, Brother An, just take it and sell it. Get some spirit stones and divide a little among everyone. It's good for cultivation, or even for a drink."
Gu An was startled and still wanted to decline.
Mo Hua then decisively said: "It's settled."
Gu An was slightly stunned, smiled, and then cupped his hands and said:
"Then many thanks, Young Master Mo."
The other Gu family cultivators also all looked happy and sincerely bowed to Mo Hua, saying, "Many thanks, Young Master Mo!"
The demon pill of a peak Two Products water demon was quite precious. If sold, everyone could divide a lot of spirit stones.
And Mo Hua guessed right.
Although the family was big, there were also many people who needed to eat.
These ordinary family children needed spirit stones for daily food, clothing, and use, socializing with fellow daoists, and cultivating and learning skills, so they were not that wealthy.
The tasks of the Dao Court Division were dangerous and there were many rules. It was really not easy to earn a little extra money.
A Gu family cultivator then said with a smile, "Young Master Mo, next time you have any instructions, just tell us."
Others also echoed, saying, "That's right, we will definitely spare no effort."
"Mmm."
Mo Hua smiled and squinted his eyes, nodding.
Afterward, everyone left the bottom of the well and returned to the fishing village.
The bottom of the well was dark and gloomy, not seeing daylight, always gray, but outside it was already daylight, and the sunlight shone through, making the fishing village bright everywhere.
Mo Hua released his divine consciousness and checked the situation in the fishing village.
The divine consciousness of the fishing cultivators had all awakened from the nightmare, and their expressions were no longer occasionally confused and lost. It was just that most of them were pale and not in vibrant spirits.
This was the appearance of divine consciousness consumption.
They believed in the evil god, and their divine consciousness was more or less swallowed. So, divine consciousness consumption was normal, and they would be fine after a period of normal rest. There should be no big problems.
Mo Hua swept his eyes around for a moment, and then confirmed it again. He did not find any other problems, so he finally put down his heart.
Old Yu took the two children back home, put them on the bed, fed them some clear heart pills and lively pills, and then used spiritual power to dredge their meridians.
After a while, the two children also gradually woke up and whispered:
"Dad, Grandpa..."
Old Yu's head was overjoyed and couldn't restrain himself, even more grateful to Mo Hua to the point of tears.
Old Yu pulled the two children and was just about to kowtow to Mo Hua in thanks.
Mo Hua hurriedly stopped them.
"No need to be polite..."
Mo Hua said with a kind smile, but when he turned his head, his divine thought was startled, and his gaze also became slightly heavy.
The two children seemed a little off...
On the surface, the two children were the same as before, with no injuries on their bodies.
But their two cheeks, as well as their hands and feet, were a little paler, with very abnormal divine thought marks.
Between breaths, their divine thought trembled, also like the gills and fins of a fish.
Ordinary cultivators simply couldn't see it.
Mo Hua frowned slightly and couldn't help but think of the scene in the nightmare where these two children knelt in front of the offering table and were assimilated by two special fish demons, their two cheeks growing gills and their hands and feet turning into fins.
It seemed that even after being saved from the nightmare, these two children were still affected by the River God and underwent some unexpected changes.
He just didn't know if this change was good or bad.
Mo Hua sighed in his heart, thought for a moment, and then took out several books of secret techniques from his storage bag.
One was "White Wave Jue", which included a copy of "White Wave Body Method", as well as a "Drive Water Avoid Demon Technique".
This was the water system inheritance that Mo Hua got from the River Crossing Dragon.
These inheritances were just some ordinary skills or techniques in Mo Hua's hands.
But to these poor, water-born fishing cultivators, they could almost be considered top-level cultivation dao inheritances.
They relied on the water for a living, and these water system skills, body methods, and demon avoidance techniques were especially precious.
"Take these skill secret books and let the two children learn them well..." Mo Hua said.
Old Yu held these several secret books, his hands trembling.
Old Yu didn't know what to say, his expression excited, his eyes red, only repeatedly and gratefully saying:
"Thank you, Young Master, thank you..."
Mo Hua again instructed them, "It's best to learn them secretly, and not expose the skills, but these drive water and avoid demon techniques can be considered a kind of demon hunting method to drive and avoid water demons, and can be taught to other people in the village..."
"Yes, yes, we will all listen to you, Young Master!"
Old Yu and his son kept nodding, thanking Mo Hua a thousand times over.
The matter of the small fishing village temporarily came to an end.
Master Shi, the black-clothed people, as well as the River Crossing Dragon and several others, would all be escorted back to the Dao Court Division by Gu An and the others.
Mo Hua didn't need to worry about this kind of matter.
He had already done what he needed to do and wanted to go back to the sect to receive his "takeout".
Just as he left the small fishing village and walked to the side of the road, about to part ways, Mo Hua suddenly remembered what Master Shi had said before:
"...In another half a day, this furnace of pills can be refined. You can take them and give them to the young master. I will also be considered to have completed the task."
Refined pills... given to the young master?
Mo Hua looked at Master Shi and asked, "Who do you want to give the refined pills to?"
Master Shi was startled, shook his head and said, "I don't know either... I only know that they are to be given to the 'young master'."
"But I am only responsible for refining the pills and have never met the young master."
Mo Hua nodded slightly, his gaze swept over the other people again, and finally fell on the River Crossing Dragon.
The River Crossing Dragon's expression was calm, but its divine consciousness was very uneasy.
Mo Hua's gaze slightly condensed, and then he asked, "Do you know... who the young master is?"
The River Crossing Dragon didn't dare to answer.
Mo Hua asked again, "Who sent these pills to the young master?"
The River Crossing Dragon's face twitched, and his fingers couldn't help but tremble.
Mo Hua understood in his heart.
He looked at the River Crossing Dragon, and then lightly commanded:
"Now, just take the refined pills... and send them to the 'young master'!"
Mo Hua wanted to know who this young master was...
