Chapter 1569: Chapter 830: Forbidden Casket (Part 4)
There are no evil spirits erging.
It seems there are also no vengeful ghosts or the like residing within the map.
Apart from the cold evil qi, Mo Hua sensed nothing else.
“Not a contemplation map? Just a box?”
Mo Hua frowned and tried to open the jade box.
But after several attempts, the jade box didn’t budge at all.
Mo Hua squinted his eyes to take a closer look, only to realize that although it looked like a “box,” it had no seams, no lid, no lock, just like a single piece of “flawless” jade brick…
“Not a contemplation map, no evil spirit.”
“No lock, no seams, can’t be opened.”
“And no idea what’s inside.”
Mo Hua felt a bit at a loss for the mont.
“Should I capture the Water Yama and ask?”
This thought had just arisen when Mo Hua dismissed it.
The Water Yama had been rescued by a Golden Core, whereabouts unknown now; it’s really not easy to capture him.
Even if captured, it probably wouldn’t be useful.
Knowing the nature of the Water Yama, if he found out soone stole his jade box, he’d definitely want to swallow that person whole, bones and all, so it was absolutely impossible for him to reveal the secrets of the jade box.
So what to do with this jade box?
Can’t just sit there watching, right?
Mo Hua was curious and suddenly felt an urgency.
He really wanted to open the jade box and see what’s inside.
Since understanding a bit of the Heavenly secret Calculation and learning about the Way of Cause and Effect, Mo Hua occasionally had so inexplicable “intuition.”
At this mont, he vaguely had such an intuition that the jade box was perhaps crucial to him…
Could it be…
Mo Hua’s heart skipped slightly, filled with anticipation.
“Can’t seek the Water Yama, then I can only find another person.”
The other, a descendant of the Water Prison Sect.
A few days later, during a rest period, Mo Hua found ti to visit the Gu Family again, but this ti he wasn’t looking for Gu Changhuai, he found Yu Canghai instead.
This elder of the Water Prison Sect was probably the only surviving Golden Core of the sect now.
When Yu Canghai saw Mo Hua, he was very courteous, cupping his hands in salute and said:
“My young friend, long ti no see.”
He was a Golden Core, and Mo Hua was in Foundation Establishnt, but his treatnt of Mo Hua was more like addressing him as an equal.
After all, in front of Mo Hua, this “strong background,” “deep connections,” disciple of a great sect, this fallen Golden Core of the Water Prison Sect didn’t dare to act superior at all.
Mo Hua exchanged a few pleasantries, then subtly inquired about matters of the Water Prison Sect, especially its form of inheritance.
But Yu Canghai, having a deep mind, answered just enough, without leaking any information.
Neither evasive nor offensive to Mo Hua.
Yet, not saying too much, to avoid revealing sect secrets.
Unable to get the information he wanted, Mo Hua’s eyes flickered slightly, then lowered his voice and quietly asked: “A few days ago, I went to capture the Water Yama…”
Though deeply thoughtful, Yu Canghai’s heart skipped at this mont, and he stood up abruptly, his expression shocked.
Seeing Elder Yu’s reaction, Mo Hua realized that Uncle Gu hadn’t told him about the Water Yama incident.
Yu Canghai wanted to ask but didn’t know how to begin, finally stamring:
“That evil beast… he…”
Mo Hua sighed, “Not dead, escaped.”
Yu Canghai sat down in disappointnt, utterly deflated.
“But in the hands of the Water Yama, he seems to have sothing very unusual…” Mo Hua frowned.
“Sothing?” Yu Canghai frowned.
“Yes,” Mo Hua nodded, feigning ignorance, and described to Yu Canghai, “It’s a jade box, water blue, with patterns engraved on it, depicting a prison with soone inside suffering torture, looking pained and desperate…”
Mo Hua hadn’t finished when he noticed Yu Canghai suddenly widen his eyes, utterly astonished, his body trembling uncontrollably:
“The… Water Prison Forbidden Box…”
Mo Hua’s eyes flickered slightly.
So that’s the na of it.
