The latest website is Bixiashenghua. Mo Painting was a little surprised, “You still remember me?”

Jia Ren’s eyes burned with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, “You wicked little brat, even if you turn to ash, I’ll recognize you…”

Gu Changhuai, who was nearby, was also surprised and asked Mo Painting, “What did you do to him? Why does he hate you so much?”

This Jia Ren was originally acting like a cornered animal, looking like he didn’t care about life or death, but after seeing Mo Painting, he was like someone who had been thrown into a boiling oil pot, completely erupting…

Mo Painting frowned, not understanding, “I don’t know either…”

He thought back for a moment: “At that time, the task was for Senior Sister Murong and Senior Brother Feng to catch him. I was just tagging along, helping with some ‘insignificant’ small tasks. I don’t know why he hates me so much…”

“Maybe it’s because he bullies the weak and fears the strong. He can’t beat Senior Brother and Senior Sister, so he targets me because I’m young and my cultivation is low…”

Gu Changhuai had a look of disbelief.

Jia Ren heard this and spat out a mouthful of blood, “You, you…”

But when he saw his “enemy,” he was so angry that he was dizzy and couldn’t even speak.

Mo Painting wasn’t polite to him either. He threw the “iron board” onto the ground and then ordered, “Kneel down…”

As soon as these words were spoken, Mo Painting was startled and suddenly remembered.

Wasn’t this “Jia Ren” the first “victim” of this iron board?

At that time, he was still a big man.

It was just a pity that back then, his skills were not refined, and the iron board he made was rough.

So this Jia Ren, even when kneeling on the iron board, gritted his teeth and didn’t say a word.

When he asked him “Does it hurt?”, he looked at himself with eyes spitting fire, just like now, but he still wouldn’t budge.

Mo Painting’s impression was very deep.

From that time on, Mo Painting set his sights on “improving” the iron board, iteratively optimizing it board after board.

He aimed to make sure that all the sinners who knelt on the iron board would “confess frankly” and tell the truth.

And now, the opportunity has come again, destiny has arrived again…

Mo Painting’s eyes lit up, and he said to Jia Ren, “Hurry up, kneel again…”

“This iron board, since you knelt on it last time, I’ve already changed several versions of the formation and improved it a lot…”

“Kneel on it again now and see what the difference is from the first time you knelt on it?”

“What’s the specific feeling?”

“Will you feel an urge to tell the truth?”

Mo Painting’s tone was a little curious, a little naive, and also a little sincere.

There wasn’t a trace of sarcasm.

But Jia Ren’s eyes had already started to show bloodshot lines.

Gu Changhuai sighed and immediately understood why this Jia Ren hated Mo Painting so much.

It was as if they had a deep-seated hatred, wanting to eat Mo Painting alive and peel his skin.

He even understood perfectly well.

This little brat can sometimes really make people angry enough to die.

Although Gu Changhuai was also curious about the effect of this “iron board”.

So he grabbed Jia Ren’s shoulder and, ignoring his struggle, pressed him down to kneel on Mo Painting’s “iron board.”

On the iron board, the formation instantly activated.

Mo Painting’s improvement of this formation this time was “returning to simplicity”. He didn’t mix in the Eight Trigrams formation, but purely relied on the Five Elements formation, with the cycle of generation and overcoming of the Five Elements, to build a composite formation.

It was similar in principle to the basic “killing formation” in the Five Elements Demon Slaughter Great Array.

But the scale was much smaller.

And the purpose was not “killing,” but the cycle of the Five Elements, imbuing different spiritual power pain sensations from metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Metal needles, wood poison, water torture, fire burning, earth suffocation.

The Five Elements deepen, and the pain and torment cycle.

And in order to avoid the shortcomings of being too rigid and easily broken, and too painful and easily fainting, the pain sensation of this Five Elements Punishment Formation would be gentler.

It emphasized cutting meat with a dull knife.

First, cut a few times, then slowly deepen the pain, wear down the sinners’ will, let them lose their psychological defense, and confess everything…

Thinking of this, Mo Painting sighed.

He was clearly a kind-hearted good cultivator.

But these sinners were worse than the last, and also more stubborn.

Forcing himself, under duress, he could only research this kind of punishment formation.

He also couldn’t control himself…

Mo Painting sighed in his heart.

Then his eyes immediately lit up, and he began to observe Jia Ren’s reaction.

When Jia Ren first knelt down, although his face was full of anger, his complexion was as usual, and he even seemed to have a hint of disdain, looking at Mo Painting and letting out a cold snort.

As if to say, “Is this all?”

Is this the kind of thing you improved?

The more you improve, the worse it gets.

But soon, his complexion changed.

Because the pain sensation gradually deepened, and the Five Elements formation cycled, torturing his body with different levels of rich and detailed pain.

It also gradually wore down his willpower.

After a moment, Jia Ren’s face turned pale.

It was like drinking aged wine.

It was soft at first, but the aftereffect was unusually fierce.

A kind of pain that made people tremble, went straight to the head.

Jia Ren’s expression twisted, and his whole body shook like a sieve.

But this pain and torment hovered at the edge of the limit, making him want to faint but unable to, only able to sink into the bitter sea of pain and torment, struggling desperately…

Gu Changhuai, who was nearby, saw this and his eyelids twitched.

There were “cruel punishments” in the Dao Court Division, it was not without them.

He had also used the five flowers and eight doors torture instruments.

But he had never seen such a punishment tool that was both gentle and cruel, and unique…

This child Mo Painting, who looked innocent, had too much bad water in his belly…

“How does it feel?”

Mo Painting asked in a crisp voice.

As if he had made a dish and was asking others how it tasted…

“Little brat, there will be a day when I kill you… ah—”

Jia Ren couldn’t help but let out a series of hoarse wails.

Mo Painting’s small face showed sympathy, “If you don’t say it, it will hurt more and more…”

Then he silently increased the spiritual power supply to the “iron board” formation…

Jia Ren’s facial features were all distorted.

After an unknown amount of time, under the double torment of the “pain” brought by the iron board and the “anger” brought by Mo Painting, Jia Ren’s Dao heart finally collapsed.

Jia Ren’s voice trembled, and he said as if resigned to fate, “I… I’ll say it! I’ll say it…”

He could die a dignified death, but he couldn’t bear this kind of infuriating pain.

Mo Painting’s expression was joyful.

If Jia Ren was willing to speak, it meant that his optimization and improvement of the “iron board” during this period were very effective.

And he got the recognition of the first user!

Gu Changhuai lifted Jia Ren up, and Mo Painting repeated some of the previous questions and asked again.

“Where is the Fire Buddha?”

“Why did you want to exterminate the Xie family?”

Jia Ren broke out in a cold sweat, gritted his teeth, and said, “I can’t say these things…”

Mo Painting’s face fell, “You dare to play with me?”

Jia Ren only felt cold sweat dripping down his back and a sharp pain in his knees. He quickly said, “No, I wouldn’t dare…”

He swallowed with difficulty, “I, I can’t say these things…”

Mo Painting frowned, “What do you mean?”

Gu Changhuai’s gaze condensed, “Forbidden Word Curse…”

Mo Painting didn’t understand, “Forbidden Word Curse?”

Gu Changhuai said, “A kind of evil technique, displayed in the form of a spiritual power curse, which can forbid a cultivator from saying certain specific words. Once violated, they will suffer the backlash of the technique, injuring their throat or even their Sea of Knowledge…”

“There’s actually this kind of technique…”

Mo Painting was shocked. Then he had an idea and said, “What about letting him write it down?”

Forbidden word, forbidden speech, it doesn’t say forbidden writing characters.

Gu Changhuai shook his head, “Writing is also not allowed…”

“If there were such simple loopholes for you to exploit, wouldn’t this technique be very stupid?”

“The purpose of the so-called forbidden word technique is to make the cultivator strictly guard the secret and not let it out, whether it’s writing or speaking.”

Mo Painting nodded, “That’s true…”

Then he could only beat around the bush and ask some things.

He couldn’t ask about matters related to “Fire Buddha,” “Xie family,” “exterminating the family,” and so on.

Mo Painting thought for a moment and then asked Jia Ren, “Where did you hide your real storage bag…?”

Jia Ren was startled, and his eyes trembled.

Gu Changhuai was also a little surprised.

Seeing that Jia Ren didn’t seem to want to say it, Mo Painting’s gaze became more and more dangerous.

Jia Ren’s expression was gloomy, and finally, he sighed and said, “Bi Shan City, the rouge shop, behind the secret room, the third hidden compartment…”

“Rouge shop, secret room, hidden compartment…”

Mo Painting silently remembered it. When he turned his head, he glimpsed a hint of sinister coldness in Jia Ren’s eyes.

This hint of coldness flashed and disappeared.

He became a look of honest fear again.

Mo Painting snorted coldly in his heart.

“Playing this kind of small trick in front of me…”

Soon, several executive officers from the Dao Court Division rushed over.

They were not executive officers from Bi Shan City, but from Qian Xue State.

And they were not ordinary executive officers, they were all surnamed Gu.

The Gu family was only a fourth-grade family, but their status in Qian Xue State was not low because many disciples of the Gu family served in the Dao Court Division for generations.

They had old students, old officials, and old friends all over Qian State.

Although Gu Changhuai had a bad temper, he had lived in the Dao Court Division family since he was a child, and under the influence of what he saw and heard, his criminal investigation ability was extremely strong. Coupled with the support of his family, his prestige in the Dao Court Division was very high.

The Fire Buddha matter was extremely secret.

Gu Changhuai was temporarily not at ease letting other executive officers intervene. He only trusted his own people from the Gu family.

These executive officers came over and bowed to Gu Changhuai, “Young master.”

Gu Changhuai nodded slightly, pointed at Jia Ren, and instructed, “Watch this person, don’t let him run, and don’t let him die.”

“Yes!”

The executive officers of the Gu family bowed and accepted the order.

Gu Changhuai nodded, and then together with Mo Painting, returned to the rouge shop in Bi Shan City.

Both of them released their divine sense, confirmed that there was no one monitoring around, and then walked in.

The inside of the rouge shop was neatly arranged, but a little simple.

The air was filled with the fragrance of rouge, but after a long time, there was a strange smell.

Behind the rouge shop, there was a screen, and behind the screen, there was a secret room.

Although it was hidden, it couldn’t deceive Gu Changhuai and Mo Painting.

Gu Changhuai was a Gold Core cultivator, a standard officer of the Dao Court Division, with profound cultivation and rich experience.

Mo Painting had powerful divine sense, was proficient in formations, and was even more familiar with finding secret rooms.

But above the secret room, there was a formation.

It looked like a two-grade formation used to seal the secret door.

The formation was not high-end, but it might have some tricks.

Gu Changhuai, who was proficient in criminal investigation but not in formations, hesitated, wondering whether to call a few more formation masters from the Dao Court Division to see if these formations had any mechanisms…

But in the blink of an eye, he saw Mo Painting already taking out a pen, dipping it in ink, and drawing some strange formation patterns outside the secret room.

Then, on the secret door, the five-colored patterns suddenly lit up, and then dissipated one by one.

The sealing formation was dissolved.

The secret room door was also opened.

The hand movements were too fast, too skilled…

He didn’t even carefully look at what Mo Painting had drawn…

Gu Changhuai was astonished and looked at Mo Painting, “Dissolving formations… you can do that too?”

Mo Painting nodded, “This is simple.”

He had been learning to dissolve formations alone since the Qi Refining stage and used it often, so he was already very skilled.

And in order to keep a low profile, he didn’t control the ink with his divine sense, but honestly dipped the pen in ink and dissolved it one by one.

Otherwise, with a flick of his finger, he could dissolve the formation…

It would inevitably be a bit too ostentatious in front of Uncle Gu.

After dissolving the formation, the secret room door was already open, and it was dark inside.

Mo Painting thought, “Uncle Gu, you go in first?”

Although it was a secret room, in Bi Shan City, it was unlikely that there was any danger inside.

The Fire Buddha’s people couldn’t all hide inside.

But to prevent the unexpected, Mo Painting was still cautious and didn’t go down rashly.

If the sky falls, there is Uncle Gu, this “big person,” to hold it up, it’s not his turn, this little cultivator, to take risks.

Gu Changhuai nodded and walked into the secret room.

Mo Painting waited for ten breaths and saw that there was no abnormality inside before following in.

As soon as he entered the secret room, Mo Painting looked up and saw Gu Changhuai standing in the center of the secret room with a solemn expression.

Mo Painting looked around and saw that in the relatively spacious secret room, it was a mess, piled with many storage bags.

Some storage bags were already unsealed.

Some were stacked in the corner.

At the same time, the surroundings were also filled with blood spirit tools and various spirit tools that seemed to have been looted from the Xie family.

From the looks of it, it seemed that after searching, the “useless” things were packed in storage bags and then prepared to be discarded.

This Jia Ren was doing the “cleanup” dirty work.

And he was proficient in disguise and was most suitable for hiding people’s ears and doing this kind of finishing work.

In the secret room, there was indeed a hidden compartment.

There was nothing unusual around the hidden compartment, but there must be a formation arranged inside…

Gu Changhuai’s expression was hesitant. He was wondering whether to call a formation master from the Dao Court Division over again.

But he glanced at Mo Painting, who was calm on the side, and gradually dismissed this idea.

“What kind of formation is this?”

Gu Changhuai asked Mo Painting.

Mo Painting was a little surprised.

This was the first time Gu Changhuai had asked him about formations.

Mo Painting released his divine sense, examined the structure of the hidden compartment several times, calculated slightly, and then said deliberately, “This is a two-grade fourteen-pattern earth sealing formation, which seals things inside and merges with the earth and stone aura, making it difficult for cultivators to detect…”

“The earth sealing formation is very normal.”

“What’s not normal is that inside, there is also a faint vice Yuan Magnetic Formation nested…”

“These hidden compartments are all considered as the formation medium of the Yuan Magnetic Formation, and also a kind of formation ‘mechanism’…”

“If the method is not right when opening it, it will trigger the Yuan Magnetic Formation and transmit information through obscure magnetic flow…”

“This message is probably…”

Mo Painting thought for a moment and slowly said, “Remind some people that the hidden compartment has been discovered by ‘outsiders’, so that they can be more on guard…”

This was also Jia Ren’s little plan in his heart.

Even though he was about to die, he still thought about leaking the information…

Gu Changhuai’s expression was calm, but his heart was involuntarily shocked.

He could see so many things just by looking at the seemingly ordinary hidden compartments…

So this is what a real formation master is like…

Seeing the small, know the big.

See a leaf, can see spring and autumn.

After Mo Painting finished speaking, he turned his head and asked Gu Changhuai, “Uncle Gu, did I say it right?”

Gu Changhuai said vaguely, “Um…”

He was inexplicably a little guilty.

Then he took out the things inside the hidden compartment.

Seeing that Gu Changhuai had no objection, Mo Painting did it himself.

He still followed the old rule, first extremely detailed, used an array pen to draw array patterns, and dissolved the two-grade “earth sealing formation”.

Then, carefully, avoiding all the “mechanisms” of the Yuan Magnetic Formation, he took out a storage bag from the hidden compartment.

Just like a little mouse, quietly stealing “fat meat” from a mousetrap.

Mo Painting handed the storage bag to Gu Changhuai.

Gu Changhuai didn’t think it was that simple, sighed helplessly, opened the storage bag, and looked at it one by one.

There were quite a few spirit stones inside.

There was a volume of technique, named “Flesh Shaping Technique.”

This was a kind of evil path technique. After cultivation, one would abandon their original appearance, turn their skin into flesh, and disguise themselves arbitrarily.

But in this process, the cultivator’s self-perception would gradually become disordered.

Gradually, they would not know whether they were male or female, tall or short, fat or thin, and would even forget whether they were a “person.”

Once the flesh lost control, it would twist and deform.

One had to drink human blood to maintain human form.

Mo Painting glanced at it a few times and shook his head.

He had originally wanted to learn this “disguise technique,” but now it seemed that this technique was so evil and strange that he couldn’t learn it.

What if he learned it and his future father, mother, master, little senior brother, and little senior sister couldn’t recognize him?

What’s more, he would have to drink human blood…

He wouldn’t drink it.

In addition to this “Flesh Shaping Technique,” there were several other evil techniques, which were strange but not particularly special.

Finally, there was a jade slip.

Mo Painting could tell what this jade slip was at a glance.

“It’s a transmission order!”

Gu Changhuai’s gaze also suddenly sharpened.

Jia Ren didn’t carry this transmission order with him, and he didn’t know he was being watched before the accident, so the content inside was likely not erased.

And this transmission order was very likely to contain clues about where the Fire Buddha was hiding!

Gu Changhuai concentrated and looked at it, his expression suddenly lagged.

In the transmission order, it was a vast expanse of white, with no words at all.

“This is…” Gu Changhuai frowned.

“Is it sealed?” Mo Painting said from the side.

Gu Changhuai looked at Mo Painting and said somewhat numbly, “You wouldn’t… also be able to dissolve seals…”

“It’s okay,” Mo Painting nodded, “I can do a little…”

“This… how to dissolve…”

When talking about the principles of formations, Mo Painting became interested.

He had researched the matter of dissolving seals and decoding for a long time, and now he could finally “show off.”

“The principle of sealing is built on the principle of magnetic patterns in the Yuan Magnetic Formation…”

“Fixed magnetic patterns match indefinite magnetic patterns through some agreement. This agreement itself is a kind of magnetic flow. After the magnetic flow operates, it will generate secondary thunder patterns…”

“Then, to dissolve the seal, you just need to find the secondary thunder patterns as the sealing patterns and reverse the action on the indefinite magnetic patterns with the secondary thunder patterns to eliminate the ‘magnetic ink fog’, thereby dissolving the seal and restoring the covered words…”

Gu Changhuai listened until he was numb all over.

He felt that he could understand every word, but when they were connected, he didn’t understand anything at all.

Mo Painting’s voice was crisp and orderly, but the words he spoke were very confusing.

These “magnetic” things and “patterns” were like magnetic flow, densely entering his left ear and leaving from his right ear.

He couldn’t remember anything, and his heart was like a field covered with heavy snow, a vast expanse of white, very blank.

“The principle is roughly like this…”

After Mo Painting finished speaking, he asked Gu Changhuai, “Uncle Gu, did you understand…”

Gu Changhuai was stunned for a moment, and then forced himself to calmly say, “Um, I understand…”

In front of Mo Painting, he could only pretend that he understood.

Although in fact, he didn’t understand a single bit…

Gu Changhuai was afraid that Mo Painting would continue speaking, so he immediately said, “Don’t delay, first dissolve the ‘sealing patterns’ on the jade slip…”

“Catching the Fire Buddha is important…”

“Um, um.” Mo Painting nodded repeatedly.

For some reason, Gu Changhuai secretly relaxed.

Then he saw Mo Painting, carefully concentrating, while looking at the jade slip, and continuously drawing strange array patterns on paper, occasionally muttering in a low voice…

“This isn’t…”

“No…”

“A little bit like…”

“No…”

Mo Painting’s face was focused, and his pupils glowed like stars.

Gu Changhuai’s gaze trembled, and he involuntarily slowed down his breathing, afraid of disturbing Mo Painting.

After an unknown amount of time, Mo Painting’s eyes flashed with a hint of light.

“Dissolved!”

Gu Changhuai’s heart was secretly shocked, and at the same time, he was a little hard to believe.

“What’s written inside?”

Mo Painting then immersed his divine sense into the jade slip.

In the jade slip, it was empty, with only eight characters:

“Bi Shan demon cave, heaven outside the cave.”
