491 Chapter 477 Little Zombie_1
Mo Hua intended to deceive Lu Chengyun and Zhang Quan, sneaking into the sacrificial altar of the Corpse Formation. He had to get through two doors.
One was the door to the hall.
The other was that mural within the hall.
The hall's door was manageable, but the mural posed a significant challenge.
First of all, he didn't know what exactly were the hand seals and the incantations that Zhang Quan had used.
And Zhang Quan wouldn't disclose them.
Even if Zhang Quan were to tell him, Mo Hua wasn't certain that by simply imitating the process, the mural would actually open for him.
That zombie mural, like the Dry Ink Screen of the Corpse Walking Stronghold, must be some sort of door lock type of Spiritual Artifact.
If it was a Spiritual Artifact, then there must be a Formation inside.
This sort of Formation wasn't a Five Elements Formation and didn't fall within the scope of Formations that Mo Hua was proficient in.
Even if Mo Hua wanted to solve it, there was nowhere to start.
Even if he could figure it out, Lu Chengyun would certainly know about it.
Just by solving the Expose Dust Formation at the entrance, Lu Chengyun was able to detect it, let alone the secretive door-locking Formation above the zombie mural at the entrance to the altar outside the Corpse Formation.
Forcefully breaking the Formation was out of the question.
The screen within the Corpse Walking Stronghold was smashed by Mo Hua using the Thousand Jun Stick.
But this place was different from the Corpse Walking Stronghold, such a hit-and-run tactic after taking something wouldn't work here.
Moreover, with the Corpse Mine sealed, he couldn't escape.
If he smashed the mural and barged into the altar, even if Lu Chengyun were a pig, he would know that Mo Hua harbored ulterior motives and had deceitful plans.
"What should I do?"
Mo Hua found himself in a dilemma.
How could he bypass the mural and enter the Ten Thousand Corpses Sacrificial Altar?
Whenever he had the chance, he pondered this question.
But after a long time, he couldn't think of any good methods, until one day, when he was behind the mural, he saw Zhang Quan activate a mechanism to close the door of the mural.
Mo Hua was startled.
A mechanism?
This mural has a mechanism?
He previously hadn't even noticed.
Mo Hua took another few glances and discovered that the mechanism was a simple stone sluice gate, unremarkable and overlooked when not in use by Zhang Quan.
Mo Hua furrowed his brows.
It meant entering from the outside was very difficult.
You need to know the method, form the hand seals, recite the incantations, and open the mural to reveal the gaping mouths of zombies.
But exiting from the inside was very simple, just pull down the sluice gate.
It guarded against outsiders but not from within…
Mo Hua thought about it and felt it made sense.
Those who could enter were either Lu Chengyun or Zhang Quan.
Even for Mo Hua, who was somewhat of an outsider, he was under their surveillance, leaving them with nothing to worry about.
Thus, they only needed to guard against people coming in from outside, not those already inside.
Setting a barrier outside was reasonable.
Setting one inside would be superfluous.
Mo Hua, being a Formation Master, had always focused on complex Formations, neglecting the possibility of such straightforward mechanisms.
This was a case of not seeing what was right under one's nose.
Mo Hua nodded to himself, silently reminding himself.
He shouldn't, just because he is a Formation Master, be biased and only focus on Formations.
Complicated problems sometimes have simple solutions.
To get into the Ten Thousand Corpses Sacrificial Altar, someone just had to pull down the sluice gate…
But Mo Hua paused again.
This problem seemed simple, but…
How would he pull the sluice gate?
Who would pull it for him?
