Chapter 802 Hua Qianqian
All male cultivators are strictly prohibited from entering Baihua Valley.
Even the Diansi of Daotingsi were not allowed to enter, let alone myself, a young disciple of the Taixu Sect.
"Can't get in, can't get in..."
Mo Hua shook his head repeatedly and gave up the idea.
Fortunately, two days later, news finally came from Gu Changhuai's side.
"After review..." Gu Changhuai said.
Mo Hua: "Is the dragon crossing the river alive?"
Gu Changhuai was speechless: "Why do you always think about his death..."
Mo Hua said: "No, I just felt that if he didn't pay attention, he would die, so I asked more."
These minions of the evil god will die suddenly if they disagree with each other.
I am very experienced in ink painting.
Gu Changhuai: "Don't worry..."
"Did you ask something?" Mo Hua asked.
"Yes." Gu Changhuai wrote, "I asked, but what I told you is different."
Mo Hua: "What's the discrepancy?"
Gu Changhuai: "The young master who died was not named Ye, but Lin."
"Last name is Lin?" Mo Hua was startled.
"yes."
Why is his surname Lin?
Mo Hua frowned.
He had learned the secret calculations and had a strong hunch in his heart that Mr. Ye was the man who died on the Yanshui River and had his throat cut by the dragon crossing the river.
But Guo Jianglong said that the person he killed was named "Lin", not Ye...
Did the dragon cross the river lie?
Mo Hua shook his head.
It has come to this point. For Guo Jianglong's crime, he will either be guillotined or spend the rest of his life in Taoist prison. There is no need for him to lie about such a trivial matter.
"Lin...Ye..."
Mo Hua's mind suddenly moved and he asked, "Could it be that Mr. Ye used a false name? He went out to have fun and was afraid of being discovered, so he lied about it and called himself 'Mr. Lin'?"
Gu Changhuai: "It's possible."
Mo Hua asked again: "Did the dragon crossing the river say anything else?"
Gu Changhuai: "I told you, but there weren't many useful things. He only said that he was acting on orders. To kill a young master named Lin, he wanted to silence him. He also wanted to kill everyone in the boat. His hands and feet had to be clean, and no traces could be left behind."
"Killing people is a common occurrence for Dragon Crossing the River. As for other matters, he neither asks nor dares to ask."
Then there is no clue...
Mo Hua frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Uncle Gu, have you heard of 'Rouge Boat'?"
On the other side, Gu Changhuai, who was reviewing files in the Daoting Division, was shocked when he saw the words written by Mo Huafa, especially the three words "rouge boat".
He couldn't help but ask: "How much do you know?"
Mo Hua suddenly felt enlightened.
It turns out that Uncle Gu also knew.
Mo Hua said: "Not much, I just heard..."
Gu Changhuai didn't believe it at all, but there was nothing he could do with the ink painting.
If Mo Hua didn't say anything, he couldn't pry his mouth open and let him speak.
Gu Changhuai could only warn: "Be careful and don't be too curious. That place is very dangerous..."
The land of smoke and willows harbors filth and evil.
The people inside are all mixed and have different hobbies.
For ink painting, it is dangerous in every sense.
The simple ink painting obviously didn't understand what Gu Changhuai meant. He only thought it was "danger" in the general sense.
"Don't worry, Uncle Gu, I know what's going on." Mo Hua said.
No, you have no idea...
Gu Changhuai hesitated to speak, but he still didn't say anything.
Mo Hua added: "The dragon crossing the river must know about Yan Zhizhou. Have you asked him?"
Gu Changhuai: "I asked, but as soon as I said these three words, the dragon crossing the river looked horrified and shook his head desperately."
"He doesn't dare to say?"
"Yes, he must have been 'banned' in some way. It's better not to say anything. If he mentioned anything related to Rouge Zhou, he would probably die immediately." Gu Changhuai said.
Mo Hua then remembered that Gu Changhuai had mentioned similar things to him before.
"Is it a gag spell?"
"It's hard to say. There are many ways to silence people. It's hard for Daotingsi to judge at the moment." Gu Changhuai said, "I was afraid it would really cost him his life, so I didn't ask."
Mo Hua frowned.
Dragon Crossing the River knew about Yan Zhizhou, but he didn't dare to tell her. Once he told her, his life would be lost.
No wonder those young men would use the Dragon Crossing the River to kill people.
Because his mouth was sewn shut.
In this case, the clue will be broken...
"Does this Mr. Lin have a definite identity?"
"No, Daotingsi can't find it." Gu Changhuai said.
Mo Hua was a little disappointed.
Gu Changhuai hesitated for a moment, sighed, and then wrote to Mo Hua: "The dead 'Mr. Lin' could not be found, but I found a dead 'Mr. Ye' from the Ye family."
Mo Hua was stunned.
Gu Changhuai: "I asked someone to get a file from the Daoting Division in Yanshui City. According to the file, about a year ago, the Ye family went to the Daoting Division to sell a place of origin. The monk who sold the place of birth was The direct descendant of the Ye family is named 'Ye Xiu'."
"Ye Xiu?" Mo Hua's eyes narrowed, "Ye Jin, Ye Xiu, Jin Xiu...could he be..."
"Yes." Gu Changhuai said, "The person whose place of origin was removed is Ye Jin's brother."
Gu Changhuai said, flipping through a volume of files at hand, and passed the letter: "Ye Xiu, a descendant of the Ye family in Yanshui City, a direct descendant, was twenty-eight years old, and was in the middle stage of foundation building. He was encountered while sailing. The water monster attacked him and he was poisoned by water. He died after returning home. "
"After his father Ye Yun's application, the Daoting Division approved and his place of birth was removed."
Mo Hua suddenly realized.
That's clear.
Ye Xiu, who had his birthplace removed by the Ye family, was the elder brother of the deceased Senior Sister Ye Jin.
When he went to Rouge Boat to enjoy the night, he did not use his real name, but assumed the pseudonym "Mr. Lin".
On the rouge boat, I don’t know what happened.
After that, Ye Xiu was killed and silenced by Crossing the River Dragon.
But Ye Xiu used the name "Mr. Lin". Guo Jianglong didn't know his true identity and only thought that he was killing a "Mr. Lin".
As for the Ye family, they found that Ye Xiu was dead. After a little investigation, they probably realized that the water inside was too deep. They didn't dare to intervene, so they could only settle the matter and find an excuse, saying that Ye Xiu was in the water. He was poisoned and died from the poison. He went to Daotingsi and lost his place of birth.
In this way, the "Mr. Lin" who died on the Yanshui River did not exist in the first place, and Daotingsi naturally could not find it.
The "Master Ye" of the Ye family died, but he didn't know how he died, so he could only cancel his registration quietly.
Both sides are confused, so naturally they can't match up.
If Mo Hua had not investigated Ye Jin's death now and dug up the old accounts and investigated carefully, it would have been impossible to know that "Mr. Lin" whose throat was cut on the Yanshui River and "Mr. Ye" who died of "poisoning" in the Ye family were actually actually It's the same person.
Mo Hua sighed in his heart and felt a little lucky.
Fortunately, Uncle Gu helped.
Uncle Gu is a Diansi and can check the files of Daotingsi. Otherwise, he would not be able to figure out the twists and turns in it even though he is separated from Daotingsi by a mountain.
"This is basically confirmed..."
"Senior Sister Ye Jin from Baihua Valley committed suicide."
"And her brother, Ye Xiu, was killed on the Yanshui River by the Dragon Crossing the River more than a year ago."
The cause of Ye Xiu's death must be related to Rouge Zhou.
Then the reason why Senior Sister Ye Jin committed suicide is probably inseparable from "Rouge Boat"...
Mo Hua's eyes darkened slightly.
Gu Changhuai's face didn't look very good either.
The implications of this matter were deeper than he thought...
"Are there any other clues?" Mo Hua asked again.
"No more." Gu Changhuai said.
"real?"
Gu Changhuai ignored the ink painting.
Ink painting is not easy to get to the bottom of.
According to his experience, if Uncle Gu refuses to pay attention to him after questioning, generally speaking, he really has no clue.
Gu Changhuai finally sent another sentence:
"What do you know about Rouge Zhou? Remember to tell me and don't take risks yourself."
"Yes, definitely." Mo Hua assured.
Gu Changhuai didn't know whether the "certainty" of Mo Hua was true or false.
Mo Hua's behavior is inherently "uncontrollable".
At this moment, Gu Changhuai somewhat understood the mood of the head of their Dao Tingsi.
The way the boss sees himself and the ink paintings in his own eyes are probably the same virtue...
Gu Changhuai sighed silently.
He turned out the page of Ye Xiu's file again and looked at the bright red seal of the Xiao family of Daoting Si printed on it, his expression became more and more solemn.
…
In Taixu Gate, Mo Hua was still thinking silently.
Now the identity of the deceased is probably clear.
But Ye Jin died, and so did Ye Xiu. On Ye Xiu's side, Uncle Gu has already checked. If he wants to find out something, he probably won't make much progress for a while.
This clue has been cut off for the time being.
Then we can only start with Senior Sister Ye Jin who committed suicide and see if we can find other clues.
But Senior Sister Ye Jin is a disciple of Baihua Valley.
If you can't get into Baihua Valley yourself, you can only ask others to ask.
In Baihua Valley, the person I know best is Senior Sister Qianqian...
Mo Hua had a plan in mind.
He wanted to take some time to ask Senior Sister Qianqian.
But he couldn't follow Hao Se's example and squat at the entrance of Baihua Valley, otherwise he might be treated as a "suspicious monk" like Hao Se, and a beating would be inevitable.
If you can't squat in Baihua Valley, you can only squat in Taixu Gate.
Senior Sister Qianqian and Senior Sister Murong have a good relationship. They often come to Taixu Sect to see Senior Sister Murong to practice together, offer rewards, or hunt monsters.
When Mo Hua had time from now on, he would go to Murong Caiyun in the name of "asking for advice on the formation."
But after asking for advice for several days, I didn't meet Hua Qianqian.
On the contrary, after class one day, when Mo Hua went to the Taixu Gate to pick up the array diagrams and pastries that Aunt Wan had sent to him and Yu'er, he saw Hua Qianqian wandering at the foot of the mountain.
Mo Hua's eyes lit up and he immediately ran over and said hello:
"Senior Sister Qianqian."
Hua Qianqian was startled, looked up and saw that it was Mo Hua, and smiled, "Junior Brother Mo..."
She seemed to be worried and depressed, so her smile was a little forced.
Mo Hua then asked: "Senior Sister Qianqian, are you here to see Senior Sister Murong?"
Hua Qian nodded.
Mo Hua said: "Then I will call her for you."
Unexpectedly, Hua Qianqian grabbed Mo Hua's sleeve, looked hesitant several times, and sighed: "Well... forget it, it's okay..."
Mo Hua's eyes flashed slightly.
He probably could tell that Senior Sister Qianqian had something on her mind and wanted to talk to Senior Sister Murong, but she was hesitant in her heart and didn't know whether to say it or not, so she wandered at the foot of the mountain.
Mo Hua's thoughts moved and he asked warmly: "Senior sister, are you worried about something?"
His voice was crisp and clear, like a clear spring, and there was a ray of spiritual thought in his voice that contained a peaceful charm.
After hearing this, Hua Qianqian couldn't help but calm down.
He looked up at Mo Hua, touched Mo Hua's clear eyes, and felt much calmer.
"I……"
Hua Qianqian wanted to speak but stopped.
Mo Hua said: "Senior sister, if you have any trouble, just tell me, maybe I can help you."
Hua Qianqian was startled, "You...help me?"
"Well," Mo Hua nodded, "When I first started, thanks to you and Senior Sister Murong taking care of me, Senior Sister and Junior Brother should take care of each other. Now that you are in trouble, I should naturally help you."
Hua Qianqian looked at the ink painting with a sincere face and felt sad in her heart, but she still shook her head and said:
"Now is a critical moment for your practice. You should practice with peace of mind and don't get involved in these unnecessary troubles..."
"Okay," Mo Hua sighed, then his eyes lit up and he took a step back and said:
"Senior sister, why don't you tell me what happened first? Maybe I can give you some advice."
"this……"
Hua Qian thought for a moment and finally nodded.
She is lively and shallow-minded, and cannot hide things.
With this matter in her mind, she had trouble sleeping and eating, and wanted to find someone to talk to, but it was not convenient for her to talk to her classmates in Baihua Valley.
She was a little hesitant to find Senior Sister Murong.
Mo Hua had already talked about this, and she couldn't hide it anymore.
What's more, she was quite familiar with Mo Hua, and knew that although Mo Hua was young, he was always smart, fearless in the face of danger, and very resourceful. Sometimes he was more reliable than her senior sister.
Hua Qianqian sighed deeply and asked, "Do you still remember...that Senior Sister Ye?"
"Senior Sister Ye?" Mo Hua pretended not to know. He thought about it and nodded: "Is it the oval-faced Senior Sister Ye who is fair and beautiful and has a very elegant temperament? I still remember... Senior Sister Ye What's up with her?"
Hua Qianqian looked pained, "She..."
Her voice was choked, she bit her lip, and then said: "...dead."
There was a hint of sadness in Mo Hua's eyes.
"Senior Sister Ye...how did she die?" Mo Hua asked softly.
"Suicide..."
Mo Hua pretended to be surprised, "How could such a good person commit suicide?"
Hua Qianqian felt pain in her heart.
Some words, if hidden in the heart, will never be spoken.
But once you speak, you can't hide a word.
Hua Qianqian said: "The elders all said that sister Jin'er committed suicide, but I don't think so, at least it's definitely not that simple..."
"Sister Jin'er... is very introverted. She doesn't come from a good background, but she is a very nice person. Although she looks cold, she is very good at taking care of others. She likes magnolia flowers very much. If she has free time, she will make cakes. Invite us to eat.”
"Everyone treats her very well."
"How could such a sister Jin'er commit suicide for no reason?"
"I want to find out how sister Jin'er died..."
"But everyone kept it secret. The elders insisted that Jin'er committed suicide. I wanted to ask my fellow sisters to help me investigate, but some of them were indifferent, some were perfunctory, and some even advised me not to meddle in my own business..."
Hua Qianqian looked a little sad when she said this.
"So, do you want to come to Senior Sister Murong to help you investigate this matter?" Mo Hua said.
Hua Qianqian nodded, "I want to ask sister Murong for help, but..."
Hua Qianqian sighed, "...I'm afraid of disturbing her. Next year is the Dao Discussion Conference. Sister Murong is not like me. She has good talent and has high hopes. She wants to get a ranking in the Dao Discussion Conference. I I don’t want to distract her because of my own affairs..."
Conference on Taoism?
Mo Hua was startled, and then he remembered that Senior Sister Murong was one year ahead of him, and it was indeed them who would attend the Taoism Conference next year.
Hua Qianqian looked melancholy.
Mo Hua thought for a while and then said: "Senior Sister Qianqian, how about... let me check it for you?"
Hua Qianqian was a little surprised, "How...how did you check?"
Mo Hua said: "If you have any clues, you can tell me. If you want to check, you can also tell me. I won't hide anything from you..."
Mo Hua approached Hua Qianqian and lowered his voice: "...I have someone in the Daoting Division. Senior sister, whatever you want to know, as long as it doesn't violate the laws of the Dao, I can help you find out most of it."
Hua Qianqian was shocked.
Is there anyone in Daotingsi?
You are a junior fellow who is in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. Is there anyone in the Daoting Division in the fifth-grade Qianxue state?
"real!"
Mo Hua was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, so he secretly took out his Daotingsi waist badge from Tongxian City and used it to show off. He also showed the Daotingsi's special messenger that Gu Changhuai had given him.
Hua Qianqian nodded blankly.
But she was still a little worried, "I'm afraid this matter will involve some trouble, you..."
"It's okay," Mo Hua said, "I have a very 'hard' relationship. Mr. Xun said that as long as I am upright and don't do bad things, and if I am bullied by anyone, he will support me."
Moreover, after experiencing the incident in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, he was also very familiar with elders such as Xun Ziyou and Xun Zixian.
Some small things don't even need to alarm Mr. Xun.
Hua Qianqian also heard Murong Caiyun mention Mr. Xun from Taixu Sect, and she was immediately shocked and her eyes changed when she looked at Mo Hua.
She didn't even know that Junior Brother Mo, who seemed harmless to humans and animals, turned out to be so capable and had such a deep background.
Hua Qianqian looked solemn, nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, then we have Junior Brother Lao Mo!"
"You're welcome, this is what I should do." Mo Hua waved his hand, and then revealed the plan he had thought of for a long time: "Senior sister, after you return to Baihua Valley, you should keep your face secret and investigate in secret. ”
"Write down everything related to Senior Sister Ye Jin quietly, including who she interacts with, where she goes, and what she says."
"Is there any grudge, is there any quarrel with someone, etc..."
"besides……"
Mo Hua was very articulate and talked a lot.
Hua Qianqian looked a little startled.
Junior Brother Mo, why are you so skilled...
But considering his relationship with Daotingsi and his familiarity with the investigation, it seems logical?
Hua Qianqian nodded, "Okay, Junior Brother Mo, I remember."
Mo Hua then agreed: "If we find anything, we will meet here. If I find anything, I will tell you."
"Okay!" Hua Qianqian's eyes were firm.
She must find out the real cause of Jin'er's death!
Afterwards, Hua Qianqian returned to Baihua Valley, and Mo Hua returned to Taixu Gate.
And Mo Hua also had a "spy" in Baihua Valley.
A few days later, the two met at the foot of Taixumen Mountain as agreed.
Hua Qianqian secretly told Mo Hua the news she had inquired about:
"Like other sisters, Sister Jin'er usually comes into contact with the elders, teachers, or fellow disciples of the sect. There is nothing special..."
"I haven't heard that she has a grudge against anyone."
"Everything I said and did was the same as usual, but there's just one thing that's a little strange..."
Hua Qianqian looked puzzled: "According to one of my senior sisters, Jin'er asked her a very strange question before."
"Strange question?"
"Well," Hua Qianqian said slowly, "She asked... can a person become a ghost after death?"
Mo Hua's pupils couldn't help but shrink.
ghost? !
