When Yuan Hua arrived at the Sunset Forest, it was already the afternoon of the second day after he received the subpoena. In front of the collapsed cave, Yuan Hua waved his sleeves, and the majestic spiritual power splashed the rubble everywhere, leaking out and returning it. The disciples of Tianjian Sect were unconscious.
There was a jade slip stuck sideways on the floor of the cave. Yuan Hua's eyes were gloomy, and he tugged fiercely with his left hand. The jade slip fell into his hand, and he pressed it against his forehead. The words inside appeared in his mind:
"Senior Yuan, this junior is out of danger, please give me to me without any trouble!"
Just reading the first sentence made Yuan Hua's lungs explode with anger, but then, the words in his mind quickly faded. He snorted coldly and cast a spell to stabilize the words in the jade slip.
This is the use of a one-time jade slip. Obviously, this jade slip will be automatically destroyed after he reads it. If it were viewed by the comatose people, there would be no quick reaction time or strong cultivation. Those fonts It has long since disappeared.
"You are so cunning!" Yuan Hua cursed in his heart.
"Senior Yuan, you and I have no grudges in the past and have no grudges in recent times. Why do we have to have a grudge against Chen, an ant in the world of cultivation? I heard from those unconscious disciples that Senior Yuan is the master's closed disciple and the next master. I believe that the seniors came here to get the truth about a matter, so that they can gain capital so that they can be promoted within the sect, right?"
When Yuan Hua saw this, his eyes darkened. This kid had obviously forced a confession from the people here. He even knew his identity clearly and guessed his intentions. This thought alone should not be underestimated.
After calming down, he continued to watch in his mind:
"In my opinion, the truth of the matter is no longer important. The looting of the Lingshi Mine is a foregone conclusion. What is important is that someone needs to take on this responsibility. I wonder if what this junior said makes sense?"
"Ning Yuan has neither a backer nor a prominent background, and has been killed by his predecessors. He is an undercover agent of my senior brothers Chen Mo and Liu Qing. Because the two of us made a small promise to him, he betrayed the sect and will not regret his death."
"The elder in charge colluded with the Demon Sect, but the other party crossed the river and demolished the bridge. The dead cannot speak. Senior Yuan is a smart man. Wouldn't it be better to make some traces to attract people's imagination?"
When Yuan Hua saw this, he was thoughtful. When he saw that there was still a part of the jade slip, he concentrated on it and looked at it:
"The remnant Chen Mo has been killed by Senior Yuan in the Sunset Forest. The truth behind the soul search is under the second tree behind the lake ten miles away. Please ask Senior Yuan to investigate clearly."
"Finally, Senior Yuan, Chen just wanted to be free. He didn't kill these subordinates of the senior to prove to the senior. Moreover, when Senior Yuan saw this jade slip, Chen had already arrived in the middle of Zhao Kingdom. The Tianjian Sect is not the only family. If you continue to pursue me, it will only end in embarrassment. Now that it is over like this, everyone is happy. The truth is sometimes unimportant, what do you think, senior?"
"Oh, by the way, the storage bags of these disciples are also there. I would like to ask Senior Yuan to help me put some flying charms in them."
The jade slip also completed its mission here, and turned into ashes in Yuan Hua's hands with a bang.
"What a qi-refining monk. He didn't forget the layout during the escape, but he still left people... at his wits' end!!" Yuan Hua looked at the jade slip. Why didn't he understand Chen Mo's intention?
The distance of ten miles was not that far, and Yuan Hua arrived not long after. Sure enough, at the location mentioned in the jade slip, he found the body of a long-dead slave and several storage bags.
The whip marks all over the body were shocking, and it was beyond recognition. Even the people closest to him had difficulty identifying the deceased. Because the body had been dead for so long, it was impossible to search for its soul.
It can be said that as long as Yuan Hua is sure that this person is Chen Mo, no one can refute it unless Yuan Hua is also searched for his soul.
"Two remnants of the Guta Sect colluded with the foundation-building deacons of the sect and secretly closed the spirit locking formation, causing thousands of slaves to flee collectively. Unfortunately, they were captured by the Fu Puppet Sect who was about to attack them. They suffered heavy losses, but luckily After all the slaves have been put to death..."
Yuan Hua murmured to himself, holding his chin, considering the feasibility of this matter, which might be a good solution.
"This kid has such a deep plan. Before escaping, he didn't forget to steal a confirmed dead body to use as his substitute. I'm afraid he had already thought of this plan before escaping!"
With Yuan Hua's cultivation in the late stage of foundation building, he was inadvertently brought into the layout and unable to move, which made him feel a chill.
There was no news about the two escaped slaves, Liu Qing, Chen Mo faked his death to escape, the collapse of the Lingshi Mine, and the sudden attack on the Fu Puppet Sect. Just because of his thoughts, he would never know the truth...
Chen Mo had him under control, and he couldn't refuse. If he insisted on arresting Chen Mo, not to mention whether it would alarm the other three righteous sects, it would be bad if the matter became a big deal and attracted attention from all parties. .
Your Heavenly Sword Sect is a righteous sect, but you want to capture some monks with unknown origins and let them go to high-intensity mining? How could this be done by Zhengdao? The Demonic Way is still about the same, and the other righteous sects will not let go of such a good opportunity and put pressure on the Tianjian Sect together, and they will lose more than one spiritual stone mine.
Besides, he had already missed the best opportunity to capture Chen Mo. After he arrived in the middle of Zhao State, there were densely populated prefectures and counties extending in all directions. Without a large number of eyes, it was impossible to catch a Qi Refining cultivator who was deliberately hiding.
After all, the Kingdom of Zhao is still a country of mortals. Monks compete with heaven and are greedy for worldly things. They will only mislead themselves. Very few monks will give up their own cultivation and devote their time to managing the secular world. It is precisely because of this that there is only one monk from the sect in each state and county, and most of them are not high in cultivation. There are even some small counties without monks.
Yuan Hua's mind was spinning, and he sighed for a long time. Finally, he picked up the storage bag of the disciples of Tianjian Sect. He opened it and looked at the contents. There were many swords and magic weapons, but some flying charms were missing. Each has a small piece of paper marking the number of flying symbols.
Yuan Hua had no choice but to wipe his ass with this guy. He immediately put the flying talisman in his storage bag with a dark face and took the body back to the cave where the disciples of the Tianjian Sect were hidden. He flicked it with several fingers. , so that everyone who was unconscious woke up.
"Uncle Yuan...Master!!"
"Uncle Yuan!!"
All the disciples were overjoyed. They originally thought that the chance of being captured by this slave and surviving was slim, but Master Yuan came to rescue them. They all cried with joy. People who have never been through the gate of hell will not understand this feeling.
Yuan Hua threw it away casually, and a bloody corpse in the storage bag fell in front of everyone: "Is this the slave?"
After saying this, although his eyes were very calm, he was actually secretly observing everyone's reactions.
"That's right! It's him!!"
Wang Ke and Shao Lian reacted the fastest. They pointed at the unrecognizable corpse and said in unison: "Uncle Master, this person is Chen Mo! We still remember the scars on his wrists!"
When he said this, the other six people also woke up. When Chen Mo attacked them again, he more or less inadvertently exposed some whip marks, which happened to match the parts on this person's body!
"Uncle Master, how did you catch him?" A disciple asked in surprise.
As soon as he spoke, everyone looked at him with angry eyes. Suddenly, he realized that he had said the wrong thing!
Yuan Hua snorted: "You have the nerve to ask?! Eight people couldn't take down a Qi Refining monk? And they were captured alive?"
"Uncle Master, we have a traitor! It was Shao Lian and Wang Ke who colluded with this slave to frame him!" Sun Yong'an shouted.
"Stop talking nonsense. Didn't you frame Niu Yin and the others?" Shao Lian immediately responded with grief and anger, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, Chen Mo didn't let the two of them lure other sect members, otherwise he would He and Wang Ke must die here now.
There was some emotion in my heart. It was true that he could defeat ten groups with one force. No matter how he plotted, wouldn't he become the soul of Master Yuan's subordinate? What a shame.
However, from the beginning to the end, this group of people did not believe that Chen Mo could escape from Yuan Hua's hands, and naturally they had no doubts about Yuan Hua's words.
Several disciples dragged each other into the water, but they couldn't explain it clearly. Yuan Hua got tired of hearing this, and with a wave of his hand, he released everyone's cultivation restrictions: "Noisy! A bunch of shameful trash! Come back with me to meet in person. Door, this matter has been resolved!"
"Yes!" Everyone nodded quickly. It seems that this person has learned the truth of the matter through soul searching. The next step is to wait for the results of their punishment. There should not be heavy punishment... these people secretly thought in their hearts.
....
Of course, Chen Mo, who is miles away, doesn't know about these things. He has already laid out the plan. It depends on whether Yuan Hua understands it or not. But logically speaking, as long as he is not stupid, he should know how to treat himself. is the most beneficial.
On the flying talisman, Chen Mo took a look at the plains of Zhao State, looking at the wild green mountains and rivers, and his heart felt infinitely happy. After more than three months, he finally escaped from the hellish spirit stone mine and became a free body. The hardships involved , not enough for outsiders.
He knew that the real core disciples of the Guta Sect and the strong men of the sect did not die with the invasion of the Tianjian Sect, but fled to the Qi State adjacent to the Zhao State in an attempt to make a comeback, while these outer disciples were cut off by the gecko. If you leave out the tail, you don't care about life or death.
Chen Mo believed that he had not learned any real cultivation skills from the Ancient Pagoda Sect. His qualifications were not very good, and it was purely a coincidence that he was able to become a disciple of the Immortal Sect. His ancestor saved a monk from the Ancient Pagoda Sect who was dying. In his generation, in order to repay his kindness, the monk made an exception and accepted Chen Mo as his apprentice. That year, Chen Mo left home at the age of seven and embarked on the path to immortality.
The good times did not last long. When he was twelve years old, Chen Mo's master was killed by a demonic man during a fight for spiritual grass. He lost his master's protection and became an outside disciple that no one cared about. For a year, I experienced a lot of hardships at the bottom, stumbling and stumbling to reach the eighth level of Qi refining.
Spiritual energy can be practiced at any time on this continent, but the secular spiritual energy is very mixed and needs to be removed. The sect is different. It has a strong spiritual energy mountain range, so practicing can be done with half the effort.
The spiritual energy enters the body and cleanses the marrow of the Book of Changes. From then on, there is an insurmountable gap between monks and mortals. Not to mention a long life, at least monks with the first level of Qi refining will not be easily injured by ordinary worldly sharp weapons, and their bodies The strength has also been improved to a certain extent, and I can now use weak, silky spiritual energy lines.
Below the fifth level of Qi refining, you can practice some simple techniques, such as fireball technique, water drop technique, etc. For mortals, a drop of water is enough to kill them.
It should be noted that without spiritual roots, it is impossible to become a monk. This is an unchanging iron law in the world of cultivation.
Also, the transformation from a mortal to the first level of Qi refining is the most difficult stage for a monk. It was lucky for Chen Mo to randomly sense the existence of spiritual energy, so the journey was smooth sailing.
For people like Chen Mo, who reached the eighth level of Qi refining at the age of eighteen was the result of a last resort. No real descendant of a family or sect who cultivated immortals had practiced spiritual energy before the age of fifteen.
After their spiritual roots are detected, they are nourished by the heavenly materials and earthly treasures within the sect or within the family, absorb the essence of all things, exercise their bodies, broaden the body's spiritual energy meridians, and better crush the same level, and prepare for the future. Lay a solid foundation for the path of cultivation.
To put it simply, after the training of an elite disciple, after he has spiritual roots, he is not allowed to embark on the path of cultivation before the age of fifteen. During this period, he needs to use a large amount of herbs to cleanse his marrow and wait until he is fifteen. , Normally, it takes about three years to reach about the eighth level of Qi refining.
Moreover, there is no comparison between the eighth level of Qi refining of elite disciples and the untrained eighth level of Qi refining like Chen Mo. For example, both of them used the fireball technique, and the elite disciple fired a fireball the size of a fist. Chen Mo, on the other hand, could throw a fireball the size of a finger.
Below the tenth level of Qi refining, breakthroughs are basically effortless, but at the eleventh level of Qi refining, the difficulty increases exponentially, and the twelfth level is several times more difficult than the eleventh level.
In other words, a monk at the ninth level of Qi refining may be on par with a monk at the tenth level of Qi refining, but five monks at the tenth level of Qi refining may not be able to defeat a monk at the eleventh level. A monk at the eleventh level of Qi refining may not be able to defeat a monk at the twelfth level of Qi refining.
There are fifteen levels of Qi Refining in total. The monks during this period are divided into marrow-cleansing monks and ordinary monks. The latter's path to breakthrough to the tenth level of Qi Refining will be more bumpy. Most of them will make no further progress after reaching the tenth level of Qi Refining. .
