Chapter 820: Seduction
After returning to the clan, life was peaceful.
Ink painting practices as usual and learns formations every day.
But in his spare time, he was still very concerned about the sect with the ancient swordsmanship inheritance before Tai'a, Chongxu, and Taixu were separated.
So he made some insinuations and asked around, wondering if anyone in Taixu Sect knew the name of this ancient sect.
No one among the disciples knew.
He asked among the elders, including Xun Ziyou, Xun Zixian, and the gentle Elder Murong, but they couldn't explain clearly.
After much thought, Mo Hua could only ask Mr. Xun.
On this day, after Mo Hua asked Mr. Xun about the essence of the Nineteen Patterns and Eight Diagrams formation, he took the opportunity to ask the question: "Old sir, I heard others say that the predecessor of our Taixu Sect was a The ancient swordsmanship sect, do you know the name of this ancient sect?”
Mr. Xun was startled and looked at the ink painting with a strange look, "Why do you ask this?"
"I'm just a little curious." Mo Hua said.
Old Mr.
Mr. Xun said he didn't know, but Mo Hua looked at him and it didn't look like he didn't know.
Mo Hua thought for a moment, suddenly realized something, and asked again:
"You said, 'I won't let you mention it again.' Who didn't let it happen again?"
Old Mr.
"Oh." Mo Hua nodded.
The old gentleman didn't say anything, and he didn't allow questions, so he probably had some hidden secret.
Mr. Xun looked at the ink painting again, pondered for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask:
"How has your spiritual consciousness improved?"
Mo Hua said truthfully: "I'm a little more diligent, but very slow..."
"Really..." Mr. Xun sighed slightly.
He knew that this progress was normal.
After all, the Nineteenth Mark of the Second Grade is already close to the limit of spiritual consciousness for foundation building. On this basis, every step forward is extremely difficult.
There are limits to spiritual practice.
Once you are close to the edge, even if you can rely on spiritual stones and exercises to cultivate spiritual power, it will be difficult to make progress, and it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Not to mention a spiritual consciousness that has no power to cultivate.
But Mr. Xun still has some regrets.
Mo Hua couldn't help but ask: "Old sir, is my consciousness really important?"
Mr. Xun shook his head and said with a gentle expression: "It's nothing. Just practice with peace of mind and don't be distracted by other things..."
There are some things that cannot be said yet.
Don't let Mo Hua bear too heavy a burden.
But after saying that, Mr. Xun suddenly fell silent.
He stared at the growing ink painting, thought for a moment, then suddenly his eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice:
"Ink painting."
Mo Hua couldn't help but look at Mr. Xun.
Old Mr.
"The causes and effects of this matter are complicated, there are too many changes, and no one knows what the outcome will be. Therefore, every time your consciousness becomes stronger, you will gain more protection."
Mo Hua was shocked.
Is it related to the rise and fall of Taixu Sect?
He had only guessed that the matter would not be trivial, but he did not expect that it would be so serious.
Moreover, these words were said by the enigmatic Mr. Xun.
Mo Hua pondered for a moment and nodded seriously:
"Old sir, I understand."
…
After leaving Mr. Xun, Mo Hua suddenly felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.
Since strengthening one's own spiritual consciousness is a major matter related to the survival of the sect, then one cannot slack off.
It’s not that you want to be evil.
It’s because of the general situation that we can’t survive without eating.
Eating a little is not enough, you have to eat a big meal.
It’s time to hurry up…
Mo Hua thought for a moment and then sent a message to Gu Changhuai:
"Uncle Gu, have you checked the Xiao family?"
Gu Changhuai: "This is Daotingsi's matter, don't ask."
Mo Hua was a little unhappy and said:
"Uncle Gu, I have told you about the Water Prison Gate and Elder Yu. Shouldn't you also be a little more loyal and tell me about the Xiao family? This can be regarded as 'reciprocity'?"
Gu Changhuai fell silent.
When Mo Hua said this, he felt a trace of guilt in his heart.
It seems that he has indeed taken advantage of Mo Hua.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Changhuai sighed: "I can tell you, but you have to be careful with the Xiao family."
"Most of the monks of the Xiao family have served in the Daoting Department. They are proficient in the ways of punishment and prison, and their methods are ruthless. What's more, you still have a life of the Xiao family in your hands, so it is best not to have anything to do with the Xiao family..."
"Yes." Mo Hua said, "I understand."
Gu Changhuai sighed.
He didn't know whether Mo Hua really understood it or pretended to understand it, but he still said:
"I checked, and there is indeed a shadow of the Xiao family in these things."
"Ye Jin's elder brother is the one named Ye Xiu. When he died on the Yanshui River, the Ye family went to the Daoting Division to cancel their registration. The executive responsible for the matter was a member of the Xiao family."
"On the other side, Dragon Crossing the River killed Ye Xiu, whose alias was 'Mr. Lin'. This case was also handled by the Xiao family."
"And it just so happens that the person who handled these two things is the same person."
"This man turned one case into two completely unrelated matters."
"And you also know this person..."
"I know him too?" Mo Hua was stunned.
He didn't know many people in the Xiao family, could it be...
"Howling Sky Dog?" Mo Hua asked.
In the Xiao family, the only people he has an impression of are the Smiling Tiger and the Roaring Sky Dog.
The Smiling Tiger is Xiao Diansi from the Qianxue Prefecture Dao Tingsi, who is full of smiles but doesn't smile at all.
Roaring Sky Dog is Xiao Tianquan, the direct descendant of the Xiao family who has a bright future and has a lot of people working hard to gain merit for him when he first joined the Daoting Division.
Smiling Tiger is Tonji, so he can't do everything by himself.
Other than that, it can only be the Roaring Sky Dog...
Gu Changhuai said helplessly, "I told you not to use random nicknames."
"Don't blame me, it's just that his name was chosen poorly..." Mo Hua said plausibly.
Xiao Tianquan, Roaring Sky Dog, almost have the same tone.
Gu Changhuai said that Mo Hua couldn't do it, so he could only acquiesce, and then continued: "Not only the Ye family's affairs, but also the Xiao family in Guishuimen is very close to them. Even many Xiao family disciples themselves are I was born in Guishui Sect and learned the inheritance of Guishui Sect.”
"Not only that, I looked through the files of the Qianxue Prefecture in the past two hundred years, and found that many cases involving criminal cultivators also involved the Xiao family's hands and feet."
"Some criminal cultivators were arrested, but after checking the evidence of innocence, they were released; some were sentenced to death, but before the execution, they suddenly died in Taoist prison for no apparent reason; there were even some criminal cultivators whose identities were suspicious, and one person If there are two names, or if two people share the same name, it is also because the Xiao family has done some good things in the case..."
Mo Hua frowned, "If the Xiao family does these things, won't anyone investigate?"
Gu Changhuai said indifferently: "No one will check."
Mo Hua was slightly startled. After thinking about it for a moment, he probably understood.
Daotingsi's organization is redundant, and most people are too busy to do things. Some errands that are not profitable can naturally be muddle along, as long as they can be fooled.
As long as the Xiao family is concealed and looks good on the surface, no one will be idle and settle old scores.
What's more, settling these old scores will offend the Xiao family, the giant of Daotingsi.
Anyone with some sense will not get into trouble with this.
"Where's the dead executive?"
"Which one?"
"The one I blew up..." Mo Hua said silently.
If someone dies, the Xiao family should react.
Gu Changhuai had a complicated expression and wrote:
"The Xiao family came to cancel their membership. It was said that one of their Xiao family children participated in the suppression of bandits in the Yanshui River. He tried his best to fight, but unfortunately died at the hands of a 'very vicious' water bandit."
Mo Hua: "This 'extremely vicious' water bandit couldn't be me..."
Gu Changhuai: "Just know it yourself."
Ink painting: "..."
Gu Changhuai: "Therefore, this matter has been exposed openly, but behind the scenes, the Xiao family will definitely not let it go. You should be careful, don't let it slip and make yourself angry."
Mo Hua: "I understand, thank you Uncle Gu."
After all that needed to be said, Gu Changhuai said:
"I have something else to do, so I won't talk anymore. Daoting sent a Dian Si here, who is very difficult to deal with and has a bad temper. I will be quite busy these days, so you can take care of yourself."
Dian Si sent by Daoting?
Mo Hua also wanted to ask who this Diansi was, but there was no news from Gu Changhuai.
Mo Hua shook his head.
Uncle Gu is not honest at all.
He decided not to tell Uncle Gu any information he had in the future.
When I need Uncle Gu's help, I will use this information to "blackmail"... No, it will be an "equivalent exchange" with Uncle Gu.
Knowledge is valuable and cannot be told to others casually.
Putting away the messenger order, Mo Hua sat at the table in his disciple's home, meditating silently.
But in this way, he also had a vague understanding of Yanshui River.
The Xiao family of Daotingsi is the "protective umbrella". Guishuimen is the person in charge on the surface.
Shui Yanluo and the others are secret minions.
Valley of Flowers...
Mo Hua didn't know how deeply Baihua Valley was involved, but at least that teacher Hua was responsible for "supply" and even "shipping".
All these forces formed a net and enveloped the Yanshui River.
And the center of this network is probably...
Rouge boat.
But this website knew about it, but Mo Hua couldn't do it for a while.
There is currently no progress in Baihua Valley.
According to Uncle Gu, that Hua Ruyu has been very vigilant recently. She stays in Baihua Valley all day long without leaving the house and has little contact with the outside world.
I am not familiar with Guishui Sect at all, I don’t know anyone from Guishui Sect, and I have never placed any informants in Guishui Sect.
Water Yama is not easy to catch, and it cannot be caught casually.
With Water Yama's alertness and superb water properties, next time you catch him, you must be fully prepared and plan carefully to prevent him from flying.
Otherwise, if he misses again and exposes his trump card, making him more defensive, it will probably be extremely difficult to catch him.
As for the Xiao family, let alone that.
He blew up an executive of the Xiao family, and there was a cause and effect. It was better to stay away from the Xiao family for now.
"It seems like there are clues everywhere, but when I really start to investigate, I find that it's not easy to start anywhere..."
Mo Hua sighed.
"Where should I start?"
In the next few days, Mo Hua has been thinking about this matter, but he has been unable to do anything.
Until that day, while having lunch in the dining hall where his disciples lived, Hao Xuan suddenly came to see him.
"Senior Brother, there's something going on!"
"Is there a situation?" Mo Hua was startled.
"Yeah!" Hao Xuan nodded and said seriously, "Someone seduced me!"
Cheng Mo, who was drinking with his neck raised next to him, choked. He coughed a few times, his face turned red due to the choking, and he couldn't help but ask:
"Seduce you?"
"Yes!" Hao Xuan looked serious.
"Female?"
"Male."
Cheng Mo's expression was a little subtle.
Hao Xuan waved his hands quickly and explained: "That's not the case. It's not him seducing me, it's him seducing me to places I shouldn't go."
Mo Hua raised his eyebrows and became interested, "Where?"
"He didn't say," Hao Xuandao, "he just said that he would take me to a place to 'eat, drink and have fun'. There will be not only beautiful things to see, but also fun things."
"I asked him why it was so beautiful and fun, but he didn't say anything, and just smiled ambiguously. I would know it when the time came. I didn't believe it, so he said that place was a place of ecstasy on earth. He had been there once. It will be unforgettable forever.”
"I'm a little excited..."
Hao Xuan was very honest, his face was a little red, but he still said seriously, "But I remember, little senior brother, you told me that someone might be plotting against our Taixu Sect recently and secretly seduce us to do bad things. I was confused at that time. Ji Ling, I pretended to agree and then came back to tell you."
Mo Hua said happily: "Very good."
After speaking, he personally poured a glass of fruit wine for Hao Xuan.
Hao Xuan couldn't help but feel a little proud on his face while drinking the wine that his junior senior brother poured for him.
"Who seduced you?" Situ Jian on the side also asked curiously.
Hao Xuan took a sip of wine and said:
"He is one of my childhood friends. Our two families are relatively close to each other, and he and I are the same age, so we played together when we were young. But later on, we joined different sects and were busy practicing, so we rarely contacted each other. "
"What sect did he join?" Mo Hua asked.
"Guishui Gate." Hao Xuan replied.
Guishui Gate...
Mo Hua's eyes moved slightly.
"Senior Brother, what should we do now? Do we want to reject him?" Hao Xuan asked.
Mo Hua thought for a moment and shook his head, "No, you promise him."
Hao Xuan was stunned for a moment, "Promise him?"
"Yes." Mo Hua said, "Not only do you agree to him, but by the way, one of your classmates also wants to go and have a look. Ask him if he is willing to take it with him."
Hao Xuandao: "Senior Brother, this fellow disciple you are talking about is not you, right?"
Mo Hua nodded, "That's right!"
Cheng Mo on the side immediately asked curiously: "Senior brother, are you going? Then I will go too!"
Even Situ Jian, who has always been serious, also said, "I'll go too."
Mo Hua was speechless, "Why are you following?"
Cheng Mo said seriously: "We don't have any other intentions. The main reason is that we are afraid that you will be in danger, little senior brother, so we want to protect you."
Ink painting: "..."
Situ Jian thought for a while, and instead of joking, he said seriously: "Senior Brother, it is indeed a bit dangerous for you to go there alone."
Mo Hua thought for a moment and sighed: "Okay."
Although he was not afraid of any danger if he went alone, he still had Hao Xuan after all. Hao Xuan was of average strength. If something happened to him, Cheng Mo and Situ Jian could also help him.
There is another reason why Guishui Gate may not agree if Hao Xuan takes him alone.
But if three Taixu Sect disciples were brought there at once, the probability of Guishui Sect agreeing would be greater.
Mo Hua blindly guessed that for the disciples of Guishui Sect, winning people's heads should be considered as "performance".
If you ask for one more person, it may not have much impact, but if you ask for three more, you probably won't be able to refuse.
"Hao Xuan, go and ask your little boy. He said that he has three other disciples who want to follow him and ask him if he can do it." Mo Hua said.
Hao Xuan nodded, "Okay, I'll ask."
The next day, Hao Xuan asked, and then said to Mo Hua:
"I sent the novel to my friend. He was a little hesitant and a little wary. He asked me which three of my classmates were from the same school. I told him that one is a descendant of the Genzhou family and the other is a descendant of the Lizhou swordsmanship family. As for my junior brother, you , I would say that your family is not outstanding, but it is a formation genius."
"Two children from aristocratic families and one formation genius. When my little boy heard this, he looked really happy, but he pretended to be embarrassed. He said that he couldn't make the decision and wanted to ask his senior brother, but he didn't take long at all. , just tell me that his senior brother has agreed to take you there with him."
Mo Hua nodded and asked, "When will we go?"
"It's a ten-day break," Hao Xuandao said, "He said it's better to go sooner rather than later. Not everyone can go to that place. Even if you are qualified to go, you have to queue up. If you go late, you may not be able to get a seat."
"It's our first time there, so we have special care."
The more Mo Hua listened, the more he felt that it was a bit like a "pig killing plate".
In a sense, this may indeed be a "pig-killing plate."
However, there is no blood involved in killing, but the Taoist heart is killed.
Without Dao Xin, a person is just a pig.
"Okay." Mo Hua nodded.
A few days later, it was Christmas break.
Mo Hua, Cheng Mo, Situ Jian and Hao Xuan met, and then Hao Xuan led the way to Guishui City outside Guishui Gate.
Within the boundaries of Qianxue State, outside every sect, there is a fairy city of Xuedao.
This fairy city is for sect disciples to buy some daily necessities such as elixirs, talismans, spiritual weapons, formations, etc.
There are also inns, restaurants, teahouses and other places for eating and drinking.
There are also many monks living there every day.
Guishuimen is no exception.
When they arrived in Guishui City, Hao Xuan took Mo Hua and others to a restaurant and met his boy.
Hao Xuan introduced: "This is Wang Chen, who grew up with me and is now practicing at Guishuimen."
Mo Hua took a look at Wang Chen.
He was about the same height as Hao Xuan, with a slim build, and his face could not be said to be handsome or ugly. He had an unobtrusive temperament, but his eyes often flickered and he looked more scheming.
When Mo Hua looked at Wang Chen.
Wang Chen was also looking at the ink paintings of several people.
It was okay when he saw Cheng Mo and Situ Jian, but when he saw the ink painting, he suddenly said to Hao Xuandan with a troubled expression:
"Brother Xuan, no."
"Why not?"
Wang Chen secretly glanced at Mo Hua and said to Hao Xuan: "Didn't you say you brought three fellow disciples with you? Why is there a junior brother here?"
Mo Hua's face darkened.
Hao Xuan said quickly: "He is a fellow disciple, not a junior brother."
Not only is he not a junior fellow apprentice, he is also a junior fellow apprentice of the Taixu Sect.
Wang Chen was a little embarrassed and sighed: "But he looks a little too small..."
The face looks too tender.
And those eyes, innocent and clear, unstained by worldly things.
Wang Chen lowered his voice and said in Hao Xuan's ear: "...It's not appropriate for him to go to that kind of place."
There was one more thing he didn't say.
In his eyes, the appearance of this "Junior Brother" from the Taixu Sect was too good for some people's taste.
If he really let him in, he would be targeted by some young men, which would actually harm him.
