Chapter 141 The Shortcut

Slowly closing his eyes, Hu Ma first sorted through the information, then exhaled slowly, "Earlier, I borrowed a token and Zhensuifu made an appearance in Mingzhou, which seemed to have caused quite a stir. Coming to this blood essence mine was also to temporarily avoid the limelight."

"But I didn't expect that it was truly fate. I left Mingzhou to avoid trouble, but the Meng family really reacted."

"But their reaction wasn't to come to Mingzhou to find me, but to run to the depths of these Western Mountains and build a so-called Ghost General Platform to monitor me from afar?"

"..."

While feeling absurd, upon further reflection, he vaguely discovered several key pieces of information: "The person he mentioned who left marks in the blood essence mine and the surrounding villages... Heh!"

"Furthermore, he mentioned that there's more than one person with the surname Hu. Could it be that someone from the Hu family is still alive? No, if there really was someone alive who could represent the Hu family, then there's no reason why so many things would fall on my shoulders..."

"Then it's... a collateral line? Or other methods? I'll have to ask Mountain Lord Senior about this. I can't figure it out just by thinking."

"..."

Back and forth, after careful consideration, he quickly understood the current situation. The first thing he had to deal with was the key point mentioned in the other party's words: "Yin General!"

It seems that the relationship between Yin General and the General's Token isn't just known by Old Suanpan, but the Meng family can also see it clearly. Even, in the eyes of the Meng family, this matter is even clearer. Old Suanpan suspected that the General's Token was on me because he had no evidence.

But in the end, he still thought their ancestral master was unreliable.

But the Meng family is certain that the General's Token must be here, without a second thought. They even want to use the relationship between Yin General and the General's Token to counter me?

But he doesn't seem to know that the one who took the General's Token is me, a descendant of the Hu family...

For a time, the conjecture that arose after learning about the key to cultivating the Dawei Tiangong General Seal from Da Hongpao earlier now surfaced again. There were still doubts in his mind, but he couldn't stop the excitement in his heart.

"I never wanted to take the General's Token. It was the anomaly in my divine soul that caused it. But now it seems that the General's Token is closely related to the cultivation of my Dawei Tiangong General Seal. Is everything just a coincidence, or is there some other arrangement?"

"..."

After thinking for a moment, Hu Ma didn't dare to draw a conclusion.

Damn it, he only felt that the more he thought about it, the bigger his head became. When it came down to it, the problem lay in the fact that he still didn't understand his divine soul enough, and those high-level methods all started with the divine soul, which was beyond his capabilities.

Thinking about it carefully, Monkey Wine's suggestion was the most direct: If you want to understand these things and solve them, you can only comprehend the divine soul. The stronger the divine soul, the brighter the natal spirit temple.

When the divine soul shines brightly, it can illuminate everything, and all the secrets will appear in your eyes.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth slightly: "Why are you considering so much?"

"The road is right in front of you. The Night Watchman's principles are the most practical. No matter how complicated the principles are, in the end, it all depends on your own ability and how well you cultivate!"

"..."

While thinking, he had just determined the focus of his path, and he felt a slight sensation in his heart. He hurriedly concentrated and closed his eyes, diving into his natal spirit temple. He heard Monkey Wine's voice faintly ringing, "Have you seen the results of my investigation of those people outside?"

"I saw it."

Hu Ma was stunned for a moment before asking strangely, "Why haven't you set off for Mingzhou yet?"

Monkey Wine's voice seemed a little puzzled, "What am I going to Mingzhou for?"

Hu Ma was surprised, "Didn't I tell you to do two things for me? Investigating the situation outside is just the first thing. The more important thing is to go to Mingzhou and deal with the Reincarnators there..."

"It's all done."

Monkey Wine said lightly, "I helped you notify them first, and then released the Gu worms to sneak into the main camp of the group that sealed the town."

"What?"

Hu Ma was stunned, "It's only been a day..."

"...It's just a call, why would it take so much time?"

Monkey Wine's voice also seemed a little puzzled, but Hu Ma suddenly reacted, "Did you break through the three incense sticks of Dao cultivation?"

"I have five incense sticks of Dao cultivation."

Monkey Wine said lightly, "So I can often hear many calls from different places, but I'm too lazy to pay attention to them. I only respond to those who are nearby... Sorry, it's my fault. I forgot that many people's Dao cultivation doesn't exceed three incense sticks."

"Hiss..."

Hu Ma gasped, "Five incense sticks?"

"How did you do it? Can you teach me?"

"..."

"It's very simple..."

Monkey Wine said lightly, "I refined Gu worms with my divine soul, and refined an external avatar. The moment it was completed, I already had four incense sticks of Dao cultivation."

"If you want to learn, it's also very simple. I'll help you refine a Gu worm and put it in your brain, and you'll..."

"..."

"Then never mind..."

Hu Ma hurriedly refused. This matter was still awkward. He only felt a great sense of imbalance in his heart. He took two deep breaths before saying, "How is the information transmission? They..."

"They should have already set off. They only said that they could arrive within three days."

Monkey Wine said slowly, "You said so much, this one is trustworthy, that one is untrustworthy, I can't remember clearly. I directly called Erguotou, contacted him, and told him what you said."

"He originally said that he had important matters at hand, that a certain alley was about to be taken down, but when I told him that you were surrounded, he still called the other two over."

"In the end, a Reincarnator with the code name Miss White Wine spoke, and another girl named Sweet Potato Burn was a straightforward person. The two of them voted, overwhelming Erguotou, so they immediately decided to set off and come to this place to find you."

"..."

"That's great..."

Hu Ma was delighted. What he was worried about at first was that the distance was too far, and he didn't know how long it would take for them to receive the information and rush over. Now he felt a lot more relaxed.

However, this place is seven or eight hundred *li* away from Mingzhou. It took me eight days to get here, but they might be able to arrive within three days?

I can only say that Miss White Wine is reliable after all...

"Since that's the case..."

Hu Ma pondered for a moment, thinking that Monkey Wine at the end of the natal spirit temple was the craziest, but also the most sober guy, so he suddenly spoke out several of the Dawei Tiangong General Seal's incantations, and then slowly asked the doubts in his heart:

"The above few sentences are my Night Watchman's Dao, the method to enter the manor. I have an item that can attract wronged souls, and a method that can grind away wronged souls, just to use this to cultivate and increase my abilities."

"I've considered it myself, and I feel that I'm well-prepared, but I still feel a little unsure in my heart. Do you have any good suggestions?"

"..."

Monkey Wine didn't seem to expect Hu Ma to ask this. Moreover, he was from the Witch Gu Dao, which was very different from other Daos. Normal people probably wouldn't think of asking the Witch Gu Dao for advice on the Night Watchman's cultivation method.

But Hu Ma asked very naturally, so Monkey Wine pondered for a moment and answered very naturally, "Your method is feasible, but..."

He paused slightly and gave his suggestion, "...It's too slow!"

"Slow?"

Hu Ma's voice changed a little. The reason why he wanted to ask him was because he was worried it would be too fast and unstable.

Monkey Wine listened to Hu Ma's words and said slowly, "You either don't take shortcuts, or you stride forward."

"Cultivation methods never pay attention to being steady. Those who find the trick are faster than ordinary people. Money won in the lottery is also money. Just because you didn't earn it from wages, you don't want it?"

"..."

"You're able to distinguish things so clearly now?"

Hu Ma was shocked by Monkey Wine's words. After a long time, he trembled, "So, what you mean is..."

Monkey Wine smiled lightly and said, "Since you can suppress it, why bother with so much trouble? Build a good nest and take all the advantages you can within the theoretical range!"

...

...

Hu Ma was really stunned this time. He even forgot to explain anything to Monkey Wine and vaguely cut off the connection. He was just immersed in Monkey Wine's theory and couldn't extricate himself.

In his eyes, at first, there was a light of uneasiness and doubt, but gradually, he lowered his head and glanced at his left arm, thinking of the heavy pressure on his head, and gradually a bit of ruthlessness burst out from the bottom of his heart.

"Sigh..."

This train of thought gradually fascinated him, giving rise to a strong sense of anticipation. The more he thought about it, the deeper he went, until a sigh suddenly rang out outside the door. He suddenly woke up, frowned, and shouted towards the outside of the door, "Who is it?"

"Sect Leader... Martial Uncle, it's me!"

Hearing Miaoshan Fairy's words outside, Hu Ma got up, touched the head of Hongtang, the little ghost guarding the door, and opened the door.

He happened to see Miaoshan Fairy sitting on the stone steps outside his door. She seemed to be afraid of being seen, so she sat behind a banana tree, using the leaves to block herself.

Further away, Bai Shanzi was poking his head out, looking like an ant on a hot pot.

Hu Ma asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

"I, I have important matters to report..."

Seeing that Hu Ma had finally come out, Miaoshan Fairy hurriedly said, "I was in a hurry to find Martial Uncle, but seeing that Martial Uncle had a little ghost guarding the door, I knew it wasn't good to disturb you. I've been waiting here... Martial Uncle used the three words 'no kneeling allowed' to enlighten me, so I didn't dare to kneel and could only sit here and wait."

'Waiting impatiently, but not daring to urge me, so she sighed to let me hear?'

Hu Ma was also a little speechless. He increasingly thought that Miaoshan Fairy was almost thirty years old, but she acted like a little girl. Could it be that she was pushed to the front because her brain wasn't working well?

While thinking, he said, "What is it?"

"We..."

Anxious look already appeared on Miaoshan Fairy's face, "The little ghost we sent to send messages outside was intercepted. Only then did we know that even the path to the underworld has been sealed off..."

"Oh."

Hu Ma nodded and said lightly, "The Meng family is here. The Tongyin Great Dao, sealing the road isn't normal?"

"Ah?"

Miaoshan Fairy's expression was shocked, "Sect Leader, you already knew in advance?"
