Chapter 1569: Chapter 830: Forbidden Casket (Part 4)
There are no evil spirits emerging.
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.
âNot a contemplation map? Just a box?â
Mo Hua frowned and tried to open the jade box.
But after several attempts, the jade box didnât budge at all.
Mo Hua squinted his eyes to take a closer look, only to realize that although it looked like a âbox,â it had no seams, no lid, no lock, just like a single piece of âflawlessâ jade brickâŠ
âNot a contemplation map, no evil spirit.â
âNo lock, no seams, canât be opened.â
âAnd no idea whatâs inside.â
Mo Hua felt a bit at a loss for the moment.
âShould I capture the Water Yama and ask?â
This thought had just arisen when Mo Hua dismissed it.
The Water Yama had been rescued by a Golden Core, whereabouts unknown now; itâs really not easy to capture him.
Even if captured, it probably wouldnât be useful.
Knowing the nature of the Water Yama, if he found out someone stole his jade box, heâd 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?
Canât just sit there watching, right?
Mo Hua was curious and suddenly felt an urgency.
He really wanted to open the jade box and see whatâs inside.
Since understanding a bit of the Heavenly secret Calculation and learning about the Way of Cause and Effect, Mo Hua occasionally had some inexplicable âintuition.â
At this moment, he vaguely had such an intuition that the jade box was perhaps crucial to himâŠ
Could it beâŠ
Mo Huaâs heart skipped slightly, filled with anticipation.
âCanât seek the Water Yama, then I can only find another person.â
The other, a descendant of the Water Prison Sect.
A few days later, during a rest period, Mo Hua found time to visit the Gu Family again, but this time he wasnât 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:
âMy young friend, long time no see.â
He was a Golden Core, and Mo Hua was in Foundation Establishment, but his treatment of Mo Hua was more like addressing him as an equal.
After all, in front of Mo Hua, this âstrong background,â âdeep connections,â disciple of a great sect, this fallen Golden Core of the Water Prison Sect didnât 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 Huaâs eyes flickered slightly, then lowered his voice and quietly asked: âA few days ago, I went to capture the Water YamaâŠâ
Though deeply thoughtful, Yu Canghaiâs heart skipped at this moment, and he stood up abruptly, his expression shocked.
Seeing Elder Yuâs reaction, Mo Hua realized that Uncle Gu hadnât told him about the Water Yama incident.
Yu Canghai wanted to ask but didnât know how to begin, finally stammering:
âThat evil beast⊠heâŠâ
Mo Hua sighed, âNot dead, escaped.â
Yu Canghai sat down in disappointment, utterly deflated.
âBut in the hands of the Water Yama, he seems to have something very unusualâŠâ Mo Hua frowned.
âSomething?â Yu Canghai frowned.
âYes,â Mo Hua nodded, feigning ignorance, and described to Yu Canghai, âItâs a jade box, water blue, with patterns engraved on it, depicting a prison with someone inside suffering torture, looking pained and desperateâŠâ
Mo Hua hadnât finished when he noticed Yu Canghai suddenly widen his eyes, utterly astonished, his body trembling uncontrollably:
âThe⊠Water Prison Forbidden BoxâŠâ
Mo Huaâs eyes flickered slightly.
So thatâs the name of it.
