Chapter 1668: Chapter 862: Dragon Bone Gu Changhuai thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement. Mo Hua always had his considerations when doing things. Although Gu Changhuai couldn’t figure out Mo Hua’s exact intentions, based on his past experiences, listening to Mo Hua generally wouldn’t lead to anything bad. Furthermore, the Dragon King Temple indeed needed to be investigated. The sooner the better; if actions were delayed, and others intervened, who knows what this Dragon King Temple would become. "Are we still doing it like before, digging three feet deep, not missing a single brick or tile?" Gu Changhuai asked, knowing Mo Hua’s way of doing things. "Yes." Mo Hua nodded, but halfway through, he repeatedly shook his head, "No, that’s not right... we need to be gentler this time." "Gentler?" Gu Changhuai was stunned, "Why?" Because now this Dragon King Temple belongs to me! Mo Hua silently thought to himself. But he couldn’t say this out loud. With a twinkle in his eye, he said, "I suspect there are some ’filthy things’ hidden here." "Filthy things?" "Things on the level of Divine Thought, like ghosts or evil spirits... Isn’t that Mr. Witch always talking about the Divine Lord? Even if that Divine Lord isn’t an Evil God, it’s still a big evil spirit. So we should be cautious to avoid disturbing any unknowns and causing disaster..." Mo Hua said with a solemn expression. Gu Changhuai didn’t quite believe in things like the Evil God before. But spending time with Mo Hua, who was full of mysterious talk, he had somewhat changed his perception. He was in a state of "half-believing, half-doubting" and "possibly believable, possibly not." Because some bizarre things were indeed gradually surpassing his understanding... "Alright." Gu Changhuai nodded. Thus, under Mo Hua’s guidance, a group of cultivators from the Taoist Court, including those from the Gu Family and the Xia family, began the "cleansing" of the Dragon King Temple. "This is an ancient temple, we need to be gentle, be careful, do not damage any bricks or tiles..." "Those filthy flesh must be cleaned away..." "The filthy Evil Formation must be dismantled, to be used as evidence..." "What can’t be dismantled should not be forcefully removed, leave it for now." ... Mo Hua "issued commands" through Gu Changhuai. These things, he couldn’t do alone; once he left the Dragon King Temple, he wouldn’t find so many people to help with his chores. So he had no choice but to use the Taoist Court’s hand to tidy up the temple. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖 Inside the Dragon King Temple, the flesh was cleared, the Evil Formation was cleaned, and the ruins were gradually being cleared. After about half a day, the entire Dragon King Temple was "renewed". Although not immaculate or solemn, compared to its previous bloody and ominous aura, it was much improved. Mo Hua also took the opportunity to thoroughly inspect the Dragon King Temple. From some traces, it seemed indeed to be an ancient temple that had been around for many years. It might have existed even before the Great Wilderness Evil God erected the altar. And the Dragon King Temple itself was not built to worship the "Evil Embryo" but truly to honor the "River Dragon King". The Great Wilderness Evil God merely "usurped the nest", occupying this Dragon King Temple on the Mistwater River to nourish the Divine Fetus. However, the present-day Dragon King Temple was already quite dilapidated. Before he arrived, many of the temple buildings had been destroyed. Connecting it to what Mr. Witch mentioned earlier, Mo Hua speculated that it seemed to be because the mastermind predicted the Divine Lord’s great enemy—him—would come. So, the one behind it all simply "Fortified and Cleared the Field", ordered everything to be dismantled, and people were killed to be refined into Blood Zombies. Mr. Witch voluntarily martyred himself, transforming into a "yaksha". Although ultimately unable to stop him, as a result, the things remaining in the Dragon King Temple were quite limited. Mo Hua also examined the White Bone Maze. This maze was similarly constructed following a special mystery formation. Similar to the Bronze Maze in the Bi Mountain Demon Cavern, its formation patterns, formation pivot, and overall formation structure have quite an ingenious similarity. Mo Hua even suspected that these mystery formations were actually two derivative formations of a complete formation. Similar mystery formations and the mazes built upon them should exist in various places around the Qian Learning State Boundary. But this mystery formation was something he couldn’t decipher for now. With limited time, he couldn’t stay here indefinitely studying the mystery formation. He had a more important matter to investigate. And that was the "Dragon". Ever since he fused with the Evil Embryo, temporarily becoming the owner of the Dragon King Temple, he could perceive a strong aura of "dragon" cause and effect deep within the temple. Following this aura, Mo Hua left the maze, bypassed the inner hall, and discovered a side door, hidden among ruins, on the other side of the inner hall. This side door was blocked by a giant stone. Mo Hua then asked the cultivators from the Gu Family to clear away the giant stone. After clearing the stone, as expected, they found a large White Bone Gate, heavily obstructed by formations and mechanisms. The formations were complex, the mechanisms perilous, the gate was sturdy, and there was no key. If it were someone else, they would find it nearly impossible to open. But Mo Hua wasn’t an outsider; he was now the "owner". With a gentle push, accompanied by the rustling fall of gray stone, the heavy White Bone Gate slowly opened to welcome its master. Behind the White Bone Gate was a vast grand hall. This grand hall was taller than any temple Mo Hua had seen before. However, the interior of the hall was empty, with nothing inside. As if fearing something might be noticed, the murals had been erased, the statues dismantled, the floor re-laid, and the carved beams and painted rafters had been covered by gray stone.
