Chapter 821: Sap
Mo Hua's face turned even uglier.
It is really unreasonable for me, a man who is a dignified man, to be looked down upon by these people.
Hao Xuan said to Wang Chen, "Please be accommodating."
Wang Chen shook his head, "It's useless for me to be accommodating. Even if I let him in, the senior brothers inside won't let him get on the boat."
"Get on the boat?" Hao Xuan asked.
Wang Chen realized that he had spilled the beans and quickly said: "Nothing, nothing, but this junior brother..."
Mo Hua's eyes were cold.
Wang Chen was looked at by Mo Hua, and felt cold for some reason. He quickly changed his words with a smile: "...This little brother, 'young' and promising, is really not suitable to go upstairs. Don't embarrass me." ”
Hao Xuan gave Mo Hua a look and asked what to do.
Mo Hua thought for a moment and sighed: "Then you go up..."
Then he secretly used Taixu Order to send a message to Hao Xuan and others:
"Go inside and take a look at the situation. Be careful and don't fall into their trap. If you encounter any accident, you would rather make things worse than find a way to escape."
"Also, don't go behind my back to see those 'good-looking' things and play with those fun 'fun things'. There must be something weird in them."
Hao Xuan and the other two nodded silently.
Mo Hua then said: "I'll take a walk around Guishui City. When you come out, we can go back to the sect together."
"good."
Then Hao Xuan and the other three followed Wang Chen into a bustling and noisy restaurant.
Mo Hua could only watch helplessly.
He was very curious and wanted to know what was in the restaurant, but he was not allowed in at all.
Mo Hua could only endure it, turned around and walked around Guishui City.
Guishui City is quite prosperous, and there are many disciples of Guishui Sect in it.
According to Yu Canghai, the senior officials of Guishui Sect colluded with Daotingsi, betrayed Shuiyun Sect, and stole the inheritance of Shuiyun Sect. On this basis, Guishui Sect, which is now one of the twelve tiers, was established.
Most of the disciples of the Guishui Sect practiced water-based Taoism and dabbled in the art of torture. After graduation, most of them entered the Tao Tingsi.
There were many disciples wearing Guishuimen Taoist robes coming and going in the city, their eyes were obscure and they looked a little gloomy.
In addition, there are some Guishuimen industries.
The inheritance of Guishui Gate is related to water, it relies on water to draw water, and its industry is mostly related to water.
There are ferries, spiritual boats, restaurants, fish markets, and some caves built next to the water for rent and sale.
Mo Hua walked around, taking notes as he walked. He was probably familiar with the layout of Guishui City, and then returned to the restaurant.
The restaurant is called "Linshui Building".
The building was buzzing with people, Hao Xuan and the other three were still inside, not knowing what they were doing.
Mo Hua sent a letter and asked, but they didn't reply.
Mo Hua was a little unhappy.
I don't know if these three fools were too happy to miss their childhood, or if some kind of formation was set up in the restaurant to isolate the magnetic signal, so they didn't receive their message.
"Go in stealth and take a look?"
Mo Hua walked around the restaurant and saw that high-quality revealing and concealing formations had been set up around the restaurant at a large price.
Once invisible, you will be discovered.
Mo Hua was unhappy, "So wary of me? There must be a ghost inside."
Just when he was thinking about how to sneak in, there was suddenly a noise of people at the door, and many monks came out from the door.
Among the crowd, there were also three people named Hao Xuan.
When the three of them walked out of the restaurant, Mo Hua heard Wang Chen apologize:
"Brother Xuan, brothers, I'm really sorry. It was originally well arranged, but for some reason the higher-ups suddenly changed their mind and ruined the good mood of all fellow Taoists. I'm here to apologize to everyone."
After saying that, Wang Chen took out a storage bag and handed it to the three of them, "This is Linshuilou's treasured wine, as well as the secret sauce meat. Food for food and drink is not respectful, so I am trying to apologize to you all."
Wang Chen's attitude was very low.
Cheng Mo looked ugly and sneered:
"It's just wine and meat, it doesn't matter. Are we here just to covet these things? It's a waste of my time."
Cheng Mo was obviously unhappy.
But having said that, he still accepted all the food and wine.
The three of them parted ways with Wang Chen, left the restaurant, met up with Mo Hua, and went to a teahouse opposite.
Cheng Mo then gave Mo Hua the soy sauce and wine that Wang Chen had given him as a "filial piety":
"Senior brother, please try it."
Mo Hua checked it and found that the food and wine were fine, so he shared it with everyone.
The wine is good and very old. The meat is also good meat, with a mellow taste and a fragrant mouthfeel. It is not easy to buy on a daily basis.
It seems that Guishuimen is quite sincere in apologizing.
Mo Hua ate meat, drank wine, let go of his consciousness, and saw that the tea patrons were busy, but there was no suspicious person, so he asked in a low voice: "What did you do in there? "
Hao Xuan and the other three looked at each other and shook their heads.
"It's nothing, I just watched the singing and dancing..."
"Is this song and dance of yours serious?" Mo Hua whispered.
Hao Xuan nodded calmly, "It should be... quite serious."
"How serious?"
Hao Xuan was a little unsure, "They are all wearing clothes. Is this considered serious?"
Mo Hua nodded, "That's indeed quite serious."
"Then what?" Mo Hua asked again, "That's it?"
Situ Jian also nodded and said: "There are only songs and dances, but I guess the songs and dances in front are just a warm-up. The one named Wang Chen obviously wants to take us to another place..."
"But before he could make arrangements, a senior fellow from Guishui Gate came over with a stern look on his face. He said something to him, and then the trip was cancelled."
Mo Hua is a little regretful, but also a little puzzled.
Why cancel?
Is it because Guishuimen found out that people like him were up to no good?
Or was Shui Yanluo more vigilant because of what happened before?
Or other reasons?
Mo Hua thought about it for a moment, without any clue, and said, "Let's go back first."
This is Guishui City, which is considered the territory of Guishui Gate. Mo Hua always feels uncomfortable after staying there for a long time.
"Okay." Hao Xuan and others nodded.
After leaving the teahouse, everyone hired a carriage and drove from Guishui City to Taixu Gate.
Sitting in the carriage, Mo Hua was still thinking about Guishui Gate.
The carriage passed through the gate of Guishui City and moved forward leisurely on the wide road.
Halfway through the journey, Mo Hua, who was frowning in thought, seemed to notice something. His expression was stunned. He suddenly opened the curtain and took a look, and his pupils shrank.
Not far away, there was a carriage.
The carriage is enclosed and ornately decorated with colorful flowers embroidered on it.
The carriage in Baihua Valley!
The car was one behind the other, and it seemed that it had just driven out of Guishui City.
Mo Hua's heart skipped a beat and he immediately shouted:
"Cheng Mo!"
Cheng Mo, who was driving the car, turned around.
Mo Hua then pointed to the "flower-filled" carriageway: "Follow that car."
Cheng Mo was a little surprised, but he didn't hesitate and drove forward.
Mo Hua said: "Be low-key, don't get discovered!"
"Oh, okay."
The big man Cheng Mo pulled the reins, slowed down the carriage, and followed the "float" silently.
The Baihua Valley carriage drove forward.
Mo Hua and others got into the car and followed quietly, passing through Taixu City, passing Tai'a City, and then went around a few times before arriving at Baihua City.
The float exuded a faint fragrance and drove into the City of Flowers.
Seeing this, Cheng Mo asked, "Senior brother, do you want to go into the city?"
Mo Hua thought for a while and said: "Stay the car and let the people go in."
Cheng Mo nodded.
Then everyone left the carriage outside Baihua City, got off the car, and walked into the city. Fortunately, after entering the city, the carriage was not moving fast, so Mo Hua and the others caught up with it.
In this way, they kept following until the carriage arrived at the gate of Baihua Valley.
The carriage door opened, and four or five beautiful women wearing Baihua Valley Taoist robes, each with their own merits, entered the Baihua Valley together.
They were talking and laughing on the road, but their expressions were a little subtle.
Some looked normal, some looked lost, some breathed a sigh of relief silently, and still others had dim eyes and expressionless faces.
Mo Hua frowned.
"No flowers like jade?"
He thought Hua Ruyu would also be in the car.
He looked attentively at the female cultivators who got off the car, silently noted their appearance, and then sighed silently in his heart.
The matter in Baihua Valley is probably not over yet...
Hao Xuan, who was aside, saw Mo Hua squatting in the grass, staring at the female cultivator in Baihua Valley with piercing eyes, and couldn't help but remind him: "Senior brother, you must not imitate my cousin. ?”
Mo Hua was stunned.
Hao Xuan pointed to the Baihua Valley and said, "You will get beaten. It will be very miserable." The main reason is to lose face.
It doesn't matter that his cousin Hao Se has been thick-skinned since he was a child.
But Mo Hua, as a junior disciple of the Taixu Sect, must not lose face like this.
"It's okay." Mo Hua waved his hand, "It's not what you thought, and it's impossible for me to be caught."
Hao Xuan thought of Mo Hua's movement and concealment skills, nodded and said: "That's right."
So far, he has never seen his younger brother being caught.
Seeing the female cultivators on the carriage entering the Baihua Valley and disappearing among the colorful flowers, Mo Hua said:
"Go back first."
Although Hao Xuan and the others didn't know what Mo Hua was doing, they had gradually gotten used to it, and whatever the younger senior brother said was what he said.
But on the way back, Cheng Mo couldn't help but be curious:
"Senior brother, why are you following that carriage?"
"I'm investigating a case related to Daotingsi," Mo Hua didn't hide anything, "but I can't tell you the specifics yet."
"Investigating the case?" Cheng Mo's eyes lit up and he became interested, "Is there any meritorious service?"
Mo Hua rolled his eyes and considered: "Daotingsi doesn't have it, but if you can help, I can send you some."
He is now a big meritorious person. He can earn a lot of merit by drawing formations, hunting monsters, and offering bounties.
And that time in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, Mr. Xun also rewarded him with a large amount of merit in the name of the sect.
In order to express their gratitude, Tai'amen and Chongxumen also gave him a sum of merit.
With so many achievements, he was very excited at first, and would take out the Taixu Token to take a look at it from time to time, but the excitement got too much, and over time, it became boring.
He doesn't even look at the number of meritorious deeds now. There are too many to use up anyway.
Cheng Mo also knew that Mo Hua was a big business, so he was not polite and said with a smile: "Thank you, little senior brother. If you need anything, just give me your orders."
Mo Hua nodded.
Of course, the matter of Guishuimen and Shuiyanluo was a bit deep, so he wouldn't let Cheng Mo and the others get too involved, just let them do odd jobs, run errands, and check for news.
A hero has three gangs, and he must learn to use his strength to do things.
If you do it alone, you will always make mistakes.
"There seems to be nothing gained from this trip," Situ Jian asked, "What should we do next? Go back to the sect directly?"
There are gains, but not that big.
Mo Hua said silently in his heart.
And they are all "threads". It will take a lot of effort to investigate in depth.
Mo Hua thought about it for a moment, then suddenly his eyes flashed and he looked at Hao Xuan and asked:
"Hao Xuan, do you have a good relationship with your little boy named Wang Chen?"
"It was fine before..." Hao Xuan felt a little uneasy and whispered, "Senior brother, are you going to attack him?"
After all, we are growing up and have played together since childhood, so there is still a bit of friendship between them.
If the younger senior brother really takes action, then Wang Chen will be in big trouble.
Hao Xuan knew in his heart that even though Wang Chen was not small, ten Wang Chens put together would not be able to withstand the tricks of his younger senior brother.
Mo Hua asked: "What's his character like?"
Hao Xuan considered it and said: "A little naughty, a little timid, and occasionally has small thoughts, but his temperament is not bad."
Mo Hua nodded and said: "I understand, then we will attack him."
Hao Xuan looked bitter, "Senior Brother..."
"You don't understand," Mo Hua looked at Hao Xuandao, "The situation in Guishuimen is very complicated. Once something happens, you, a young boy, may really be doomed."
"To attack him now is to save him. If we leave him alone, we will harm him."
Hao Xuan looked stern when he heard this.
He didn't expect that the matter was so serious, and he felt a little solemn in his heart. He wanted to ask what happened, but seeing Mo Hua's serious expression, he wisely did not ask.
How capable he is and how many secrets he knows.
Hao Xuan knew that he was not that capable, so it was better not to inquire about some secrets.
"So, little senior brother, how do you want to start?" Hao Xuan asked in a low voice.
"What do you want?" Mo Hua asked.
Hao Xuan gritted his teeth and said: "After all, he is a child, so it is best to be gentle and give him some dignity."
Mo Hua was slightly startled, "It's not that serious. Just give me a slap in the face and pull him aside to ask some questions."
Hao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was just a sap, no blood required...
Mo Hua looked at Hao Xuan and said, "I'll let Cheng Mo handle the sap fight. You have a good relationship with him, but I'm afraid you won't be able to do it."
Unexpectedly, Hao Xuan shook his head and said: "He is my childhood friend. We grew up together. It's up to me to do things like sap. I don't worry about others."
Hao Xuan looked very insistent.
Mo Hua couldn't tell for a moment whether Hao Xuan was worried about Wang Chen's safety, or whether he was simply addicted to "sap" and worried that his job would be robbed.
"Okay..." Mo Hua nodded.
After that, several people briefly discussed the plan.
In the evening, Hao Xuan invited Wang Chen out and said he had something to talk to him about.
Wang Chen had no doubt that he was there.
Because it was still the tenth holiday period and there was no access control at Guishui Gate, he left the sect alone and walked towards Guishui City not far away.
When he reached the foot of the mountain and passed a secluded and deserted path, Hao Xuan used his physical skills to go around behind Wang Chen, activated the formation, and knocked him out with a stick.
Cheng Mo and Situ Jian rushed up, made Wang Chen's acquaintance, and dragged him into the grass nearby.
Mo Hua set up a Xiaoyuan Magnetic Array near the grass as a warning, and also set up a soundproof array and other concealment methods to ensure nothing went wrong.
Cheng Mo then slapped Wang Chen awake.
Wang Chen woke up, his head still hurt a little, he was feeling confused, and then he suddenly got excited and wanted to shout.
Cheng Mo immediately covered his mouth and warned in a hoarse voice: "Don't make a sound, or I'll be rude to you."
Wang Chen instantly realized that he was surrounded by several masked "murderers", with chains wrapped around their bodies and restraint formations, unable to move at all. He immediately understood the current situation and nodded honestly.
Cheng Mo let go of his hand.
Wang Chen then said in a trembling voice: "Who are you... and what are you going to do? I am Guishui..."
"Shut up, I'll ask, you answer!" Cheng Mo said fiercely.
After hanging out with Mo Hua for a long time, he has now learned that the attitude of "torture" must be tough and don't let the other party talk nonsense.
"good……"
Wang Chen said timidly.
But when he looked at Cheng Mo, the more he looked, the more familiar he felt. Then when he looked at the figure next to Cheng Mo, he looked even more familiar.
Wang Chen was not an idiot after all. After thinking about the cause and effect, he immediately came back to his senses and said with some disbelief: "You...Brother Xuan?!"
Hao Xuan from behind said helplessly: "Let me just say, masking is a bit unnecessary. He will definitely recognize it."
"It doesn't matter whether he recognizes you or not. This is called respect."
"Do what you do and love what you do."
"Industry regulations must be followed..."
Wang Chen was dumbfounded, and then said angrily: "Brother Xuan, we have no enmity, why did you harm me?"
Hao Xuan sighed and said using the "rhetoric" taught him by ink painting:
"It's not me, it's...my eldest brothers think you're teasing them. We clearly agreed that we would take them to see interesting things and play interesting things, but in the end they came here in joy and returned disappointed..."
"That's right," Cheng Mo, who was tall and mighty, pinched Wang Chen's neck and said in a rough voice, "You kid, are you trying to make fun of me? A few girls, twist it a few times, the clear soup will be watery. , Do you think that I, a member of this aristocratic family, can’t afford this?”
Now Wang Chen knew he was wrong and couldn't blame Hao Xuan anymore, so he quickly begged for mercy:
"Brother, please spare your life. It's not that I don't want to take him with me. It's just that... there was a sudden change and the place was withdrawn. There's nothing I can do about it."
Mo Hua's eyes narrowed slightly and he gave Cheng Mo a wink.
Cheng Mo understood, and his hand became a little stronger:
"Still quibbling? Still want to lie to me? Nothing happens normally, but something happens when I come here? Is I so unlucky?"
"Really! I swear! I don't dare to lie to my brother!" Wang Chen cursed.
"Okay," Cheng Mo relaxed his grip a little, "Tell me what happened that ruined my elegance."
"This..." Wang Chen hesitated.
Cheng Mo squeezed his neck again, "What, can't you make up an excuse?"
"No, it's not the editor," Wang Chen felt uncomfortable and said quickly, "Yes, it's Daotingsi."
"Daotingsi?" Cheng Mo was a little surprised.
"Yes..." Wang Chen was a little out of breath.
Cheng Mo's hand relaxed a little, "Speak clearly."
Wang Chen gasped for air, coughed a few times, and then slowly said:
"Senior brother, they said... Daotingsi came to investigate, and the venue was evacuated. Let us keep a low profile and send away all the guests."
Cheng Mo couldn't help but look at the ink painting.
Mo Hua frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Why would Daotingsi come to investigate? Don't think we don't know. Your Guishui Sect has a close relationship with Daotingsi. Why would they investigate you?"
Wang Chen smiled bitterly, "I don't know either, but I heard that this time it's not the local Dao Tingsi, but the higher ups who came to investigate..."
"above?"
Wang Chen said in a trembling voice, "Dao Ting."
