Chapter 807 Red Thread
After some time, Mo Hua learned through Aunt Wan, his "eyeliner" in the Gu family, that Uncle Gu should have been on a blind date, so he picked a time and secretly sent a letter to Gu Changhuai:
"Uncle Gu, how was the blind date?"
This question is probably very annoying.
Gu Changhuai didn't want to answer, so he didn't reply for a long time.
But this matter also involved the cause of Ye Jin's death, so after about an hour, Gu Changhuai finally endured the discomfort and replied: "Failed."
"What kind of failure?" Mo Hua wondered, "The blind date failed, or the 'interrogation' failed?"
Isn't it normal for a blind date to fail?
The interrogation failed and no clues were asked, which is the important issue.
Gu Changhuai: "They all failed."
Mo Hua sighed: "Uncle Gu, you are also an old Diansi. Why can't you do such a small thing well? Why haven't you asked anything..."
This old-fashioned tone is very similar to the words of the old boss when he is accountable.
Gu Changhuai, who was opposite the messenger, looked ugly for a moment.
This kid Mo Hua is really good at making people angry.
Mo Hua asked curiously: "What did you talk about when you were on a blind date? Did you talk about family background? What about the spiritual stone salary? What about the monastic plan? What do you think of the Huajiu disciple?"
Gu Changhuai couldn't bear it anymore, so he immediately blocked the order and ignored the ink painting.
Mo Hua is helpless.
Uncle Gu's courage still needs to be increased.
I can't bear to say this. It's not generous at all.
Since Uncle Gu didn't say anything, he had to find another way to find out.
Two days later, it’s time to take a break.
Mo Hua personally ran to Gu's house, asked around, and found Elder Gu Hong who was drinking tea in the living room.
Elder Gu Hong's eyes lit up when she saw Mo Hua, and she quickly greeted:
"Mo Hua, come here, I have some cakes here."
Mo Hua muttered in his heart:
I am not a child anymore...
But he still sat next to Elder Gu Hong, drinking tea and eating the pastries given to him by Elder Gu Hong.
The tea is sweet and slightly bitter, and the cake is refreshing and slightly sweet. The two phases are balanced and the taste is very special.
While eating, Mo Hua asked in a low voice:
"Elder Gu Hong, how is Uncle Gu's blind date going?"
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Elder Gu Hong's face dropped, as if he was very angry, and complained to Mo Hua:
"You said that Chang Huai is just a stubborn ass, like a fool, but he has gained a good skin for nothing."
"When we first met, the woman couldn't help but stare at him for a long time when she saw his handsome appearance. Her face turned red, but he was just like a piece of wood and said nothing."
"That's not the most irritating thing. The most irritating thing is that as soon as he sat down and didn't take a few sips of tea, he showed the same demeanor as he did in Daotingsi. He asked questions about the girl's family just like the interrogator. Asking questions..."
"What are you asking about? Where are you from, where do you live, and where have you been?"
Elder Gu Hong put her hand on her forehead, suffering from a headache, and said to Mo Hua: "You say this, how can we get married with each other?"
"I can only apologize with a smile, saying that he has been busy with Daotingsi affairs all day long and has formed a habit. He can just change it after getting married."
"In this way, the situation was barely resolved, but it can also be seen that the girl's face is obviously a bit livid..."
"well……"
Elder Gu Hong let out a long sigh, his teeth itching with anger.
"If he hadn't been my nephew, I would have been sitting at the door drinking the northwest wind without even bothering to look at him."
Mo Hua nodded.
Sure enough, in the Daotingsi, the handsome and cold-hearted Dianji would inevitably be eliminated by his elders when he came home.
"Then...Elder Hong," Mo Hua asked quietly again, "What do you think...of that 'Hua Jiaoxi'?"
Elder Gu Hong was startled, "How are you doing?"
"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded, "I'm a little curious, so I asked."
curious?
Elder Gu Hong thought for a moment and frowned, "To be honest, I feel something is wrong..."
"What's wrong?"
"The makeup is too bright, and the expression is a bit unnatural. When I look at Chang Huai, I have that covetous look on her face. It looks a bit..."
Elder Gu Hong lowered his voice and quietly said to Mo Hua: "Some of them are watery."
The ink painting is thoughtful.
Elder Gu Hong pondered for a moment, and then said strangely: "Her style of conduct is a bit unlike the teachings of the sect, but more like..."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly realized that this was in front of the ink painting, not beside her group of "old sisters", so she shut up angrily.
"What does it look like?" Mo Hua asked doubtfully.
"It's nothing," Elder Gu Hong said, "It's okay not to say anything."
Mo Hua cursed in his heart.
In front of him, he always likes to say half of his words.
Elder Gu Hong wanted to ask when he saw the ink painting, so he quickly pushed the pastry in front of the ink painting, "Eat pastry, you are growing tall now, so eat more..."
When this matter was mentioned, Mo Hua was a little worried.
"Elder Gu Hong, will I not grow taller in the future?"
Elder Gu Hong said solemnly:
"In this case, you were just born with a weak body and lost vitality, so you grew a little slower. There is nothing you can do about it. In the future, if you improve your cultivation and reborn, you will definitely grow into a beautiful man with a slender figure, just like Chang Huai... No, it’s more beautiful than Changhuai.”
"You have a gentle temper and are as smooth as jade. Unlike Chang Huai, his temper is like a smelly stone. There is nothing you can do about it."
Elder Gu Hong was still very angry when he mentioned this matter.
"Tell me, with his skin and skin, if he can open his eyes, he will be surrounded by countless birds and birds, why should I bother so much?"
"Mud can't hold up a wall!"
Mo Hua asked: "Then what should I do about Uncle Gu's blind date in the future?"
"What else can I do?" Elder Gu Hong said, "Let's do this for now. How can I find someone else for him in a short period of time? If he still has this bad temper, if I find someone else and he offends someone else, then my face will be lost." Where to put it?”
"Let's make do with it first, force her to become pregnant, and then meet this girl to see if the two of them can get along."
Mo Hua was confused, "But, didn't you say that this teaching seems a bit 'watery'?"
"That's what I say," Elder Gu Hong said carefully, "but sometimes, people should not be judged by their appearance, especially when they meet for the first time. It is still too arbitrary to make judgments based on the first impression. We will see later. Let’s see…”
Mo Hua nodded, "That makes sense."
He also wanted Uncle Gu to sacrifice his "hue" and talk to this beggar like Hua Ruyu, maybe he could find other clues.
Elder Gu Hong looked at the ink painting with admiration and said: "Chang Huai is hopeless. When you grow older, I will find a way to arrange a good marriage for you."
Mo Hua's expression froze.
He didn't expect that he would eat the melon without realizing it.
Mo Hua whispered: "Elder, I'm not in a hurry..."
Elder Gu Hong shook his head and said, "It's time to rush. We should have planned for this kind of thing in advance."
She said sincerely: "You are different from other children. Although Mr. Xun supports you, you do not have a great family background and your spiritual roots are not very good..."
"Of course, in my eyes, you are a good kid in everything, but when it comes time to discuss marriage, those big and small aristocratic families and sects are still very realistic. Their family background and spiritual roots are just flawed."
"Based on my experience, you must not find the proud daughters of those big families."
"Most of these girls are arrogant, arrogant, and arrogant. They are not suitable for you."
"Moreover, the bigger the family is, the more rules there are, and the stricter and more realistic the marriage. Even if you fall in love with each other and you agree with me, the elders and ancestors of the family will definitely not agree."
"It doesn't matter how powerful you are."
"After all, how can you, alone, compare to the accumulation of thousands or even tens of thousands of years of their aristocratic family?"
"My arms can't twist my thighs, let alone push a mountain."
Elder Gu Hong sighed and thought:
"It's best to be a girl from a middle-class family. The third grade is a little lower, and the fourth grade is around the most suitable."
"Those who have a gentle temper, are considerate, and know how to care about others are best chosen as formation masters."
"A little higher, almost fifth grade would be fine..."
At this point, Elder Gu Hong's eyes suddenly lit up, "If you are willing, I can pick one for you at the Gu family!"
Yes, why hadn't she thought of this before?
The Gu family is quasi-fifth grade.
She is also the powerful elder of the Gu family and has a certain say in the clan.
She knows most of the girls from the Gu family.
She also noticed the child's talent in Mo Hua.
If you marry a girl from the Gu family, you might be able to keep the ink paintings in the Gu family.
Elder Gu Hong became happy and quickly asked Mo Hua:
"How is it?"
Mo Hua felt a little dizzy, "No, Elder Hong, it's too early for this matter."
"It's getting late, but you don't have to worry. Just practice with peace of mind. I'll keep an eye on it for you."
Elder Gu Hong stared at the ink painting with bright eyes.
Mo Hua couldn't resist and said quickly: "I'm going to see Uncle Gu."
After saying that, he ran away in a flash.
Elder Gu Hong laughed and shook his head. He didn't care about Mo Hua, but he silently kept this matter in his heart.
She thought for a moment and murmured: "I have to give him a red thread to see..."
She was impatient and would do whatever she said. When she thought of this, she immediately returned to her elder's residence and took out the Gu family's genealogy from a box.
On top of the family tree, there is a separate page, which records the names and birth dates of the women of the Gu family. This is a secret to the family. Except for elders with a special status like her, no one else can read it at will.
Elder Gu Hong took out a red thread, with red light flowing in his eyes, and pulled the red thread through the names of the women on the family tree.
"I don't know which little girl from the Gu family can have a relationship with Mo Hua..."
Elder Gu Hong said silently in his heart.
But after pulling for a long time, there was no movement on the red line.
Elder Gu Hong frowned, and the red light in his eyes became even brighter, but in the next moment, a sudden change occurred.
The red thread in her hand suddenly broke.
Elder Gu Hong looked stunned.
If you can't pull it on, you can't pull it on. Why is it still broken?
He had no choice but to take out another red thread, then silently recited the incantation, his eyes moved, and continued to pull the red thread for Mo Hua.
But after trying a few names, the red line suddenly broke again.
Elder Gu Hong did not believe in evil, so he pulled it several times, but it broke again.
Her expression became serious.
"Isn't it a coincidence? Could it be..."
Elder Gu Hong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took out another thicker one, woven with gold wire and inlaid with red jade, symbolizing the 'good match between gold and jade'.
"I don't believe it today..."
Elder Gu Hong continued to hold the line for Mo Hua.
The red thread of a perfect marriage is indeed extraordinary. She tried to pull it more than ten times, but although it had no effect, the red thread was still intact.
Even when it came to the name of a little girl who was a direct descendant of the Gu family, there was already a faint reaction on the red rope.
Elder Gu Hong looked slightly happy, but at this moment, he felt a heart palpitation.
She looked down and found that in less than an instant, a void of bright red flames burned up, directly burning the entire red rope...
Not only was the red rope burned, but the gold threads on the red rope were also broken, and the red jade inlaid was turned into powder.
Elder Gu Hong was stunned on the spot.
The red lines...are all broken...
The golden marriage was also burned.
It seemed that the red line drawn in ink was not allowed to be pulled by her at all.
The marriage here cannot be coveted by others.
Elder Gu Hong gradually began to have suspicions in his mind, his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but murmured:
"What kind of terrible person will Mo Hua marry in the future..."
…
On the other side, Elder Hong's ink painting, who had no idea how many red lines had been broken, walked around Gu's house and finally found Gu Changhuai in a remote study.
"Uncle Gu, I talked to Elder Hong and she decided not to arrange a blind date for you for the time being."
Ink painting gets straight to the point.
Gu Changhuai looked a little suspicious, "Auntie won't give up so easily..."
Before, Aunt Gu Hong would say, "I don't care about you anymore" every time, but after ten days and a half, quite a month or two, she would say again, "I have chosen another girl, you must If you like it, take the time to meet me.”
"Really!" Mo Hua nodded, "But there is a small condition."
Gu Changhuai looked "Sure enough" and asked: "What are the conditions?"
"You need to make an appointment to meet with Teacher Hua from Baihua Valley, and then we can chat and look for clues." Mo Hua said.
Gu Changhuai frowned, "Is this my aunt's condition?"
"Elder Hong said it first, and I added it later." Mo Hua was very candid.
Gu Changhuai was silent.
He doesn't want to deal with boring people, especially boring women.
Mo Hua then said seriously: "This is the only clue left in this case so far. At my age, I can't go on a blind date for you. Uncle Gu, if you don't investigate, there will be another wronged soul in the world, Senior Sister Ye Jin." I won’t die in peace!”
Gu Changhuai is an experienced man, how could he be incited by Mo Hua's few words.
But Mo Hua is actually right.
The blind date doesn't matter, but the case must be investigated.
"Okay," Gu Changhuai sighed, "I'll go see her again when I have time."
Mo Hua warned: "Be sure to be gentle, don't put on airs like a Tao Ting Si Dian Si, and pretend to be a graceful young master."
Gu Changhuai glanced at Mo Hua lightly, "How about you go?"
Mo Hua sneered and said, "Uncle Gu is more suitable for this kind of 'adult' matter."
After all, you are over two hundred years old...
Gu Changhuai frowned, looking embarrassed.
…
After the ten-day break, Mo Hua returned to the sect.
According to his speculation, Uncle Gu would have a day or two of mental construction, and then on the third day, he would make an appointment with the flower teacher in Baihua Valley.
About the fourth day, the two will meet.
If Uncle Gu really asks anything, it will only be four or five days later.
During this time, Mo Hua mainly spent his time in Demon Refining Mountain.
In the Taixu Sect's cultivation courses, a new "Monster Hunting" class has been opened to formally teach disciples how to hunt monsters reasonably in the Demon Refining Mountain.
This course is offered as usual.
It was only at this time, the fifth year after joining the sect, that the previous disciples of the Taixu Sect would formally and extensively enter Demon Refining Mountain to participate in demon hunting.
This is not only true for Taixu Sect, but also for other sects.
In the middle stage of foundation building, in the first year of consolidating cultivation, occasionally disciples would go to Demon Refining Mountain to test the water.
After the cultivation was consolidated in the second year, the sect taught demon hunting courses and allowed the disciples to go into the mountains to hunt demons on a large scale.
But this time of ink painting, the situation is special.
With Mo Hua, a "little senior brother" who was proficient in formations, taking the lead, a group of disciples had already started "military" hunting in the Demon Refining Mountain.
The sect plan failed to keep up with the changes.
The elder who taught demon hunting found himself "unemployed" as soon as he was "employed".
Because there is nothing left to teach...
These disciples have long been familiar with what he taught, and even kill monsters with ease.
With no other choice, he had no choice but to report back to the leader.
"It's the kid Mo Hua again..."
Head Taixu sighed.
He could hear this name from time to time.
Finally, after a meeting of elders, the master gave special approval to advance the progress of the demon hunting class, allowing these disciples to directly transfer from theory to practice and go directly to the Demon Refining Mountain to hunt demons.
Monster hunting classes usually last a whole day.
In this way, the disciples of Taixu Sect, except for ten days off, have extra time every ten days to stay in the Demon Refining Mountain and hunt.
Ink painting is now even more at home in Demon Refining Mountain.
In addition, he also met Ouyang Mu and Linghu Xiao.
The disciples of Tai'amen and Chongxumen did not hunt monsters so fast, but after learning that Taixumen had already allowed their disciples to enter the mountains in large numbers, they did not want to fall behind, so they hurried and slowed down and relaxed restrictions.
This is the first time the three of them have met since the incident in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
Ouyang Mu and Linghuxiao were very grateful to Mo Hua.
After all, in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, several people lived and died together. In the end, they were saved by Mo Hua and escaped from death. It was considered a "life-long" friendship.
"Senior Brother Mo, if you have anything to do in the future, just tell me and I will definitely do it!"
Ouyang Mu looked serious.
Linghu smiled and said, "Me too."
Mo Hua waved his hand and said generously: "It's just a small matter, don't worry about it."
Because it is "class" time now, the few of them can only bump into each other occasionally and chat, but can't say much.
However, the relationship between the three of them is more familiar.
Mo Hua also "blackmailed" some sword-making skills from the sword bones and secretly gave them to Ouyang Mu, letting him secretly watch, secretly learn, and improve his sword-making skills.
Ouyang Mu looked at Mo Hua again as if he were looking at his own brother.
As for Linghu Xiao, Mo Hua was straightforward and called him "Xiao Xiao".
He had wanted to shout like this for a long time, but he was not that familiar with it before and was embarrassed.
Linghuxiao was a little angry.
Probably because of this name, it doesn't suit his lonely and aloof personality.
Nor does it fit the temperament of a great swordsman who is destined to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship in the future.
But due to Mo Hua's "life-saving grace", he had no room for "resistance", so he could only hold his nose and admit it.
Moreover, Mo Hua shouted and shouted, and he got used to it.
Of course, so far, only Mo Hua dared to call him "Xiao Xiao" in front of him.
He only agreed that Mo Hua could shout these two words, and others could not.
After all, Mo Hua saved his life, unlike others.
This is the bottom line that he can tolerate as an arrogant swordsman genius, and it is also his last "stubbornness".
