Asking about longevity

"I'm still a child, how do I know?" Mo Hua said confidently.

Zhang Lan's expression was stagnant, full of helplessness, and he had no choice but to explain:

"The so-called supplementation is actually a kind of dual cultivation."

After Zhang Lan finished speaking, he paused and said, "You should know about dual cultivation."

Mo Hua blushed, "I just know a little bit."

Zhang Lan didn't know whether he really didn't know or if he was pretending not to know, so he continued:

"Actually, it's a matter between men and women. To put it bluntly, that's it. However, dual cultivation can improve some cultivation, and the process is beautiful, so many monks are obsessed with studying the way of dual cultivation."

Mo Hua has a question, "Can dual cultivation really improve cultivation?"

"It's just a little improvement, which is better than nothing. If you have time to delve into such side theories, you might as well spend more time meditating and practicing." Zhang Lan said.

"What's the difference between dual cultivation and supplementation?"

"Double cultivation is considered normal, but taking supplements is vicious. Evil cultivators will use supplements to absorb the blood, essence, and spiritual power of others. People who have been taken supplements will have their cultivation regressed, and their Tao foundation will collapse, or even Death from being harvested, these things happen all the time.”

Mo Hua felt awe-inspiring.

"Did the flower-picking thief you were chasing also kill people?"

"He must have done this kind of thing before, but not now. We are chasing him because last month he took a beautiful woman and made her body and bones completely destroyed. She was also in a trance every day and was in panic all day long. …”

Zhang Lan sighed and gritted his teeth.

Hearing this, Mo Hua couldn't bear it and asked, "If we catch him, will he be sentenced to death?"

Zhang Lan nodded, "Dao Tingsi has always severely punished matters such as collecting supplements. The penalty is more than a hundred years, and the maximum penalty is death. The death penalty is inevitable for the one we are pursuing."

Mo Hua was relieved.

Zhang Lan thought for a moment and then said:

"I forgot to tell you, dual cultivation is also prohibited."

Mo Hua looked confused.

I'm still a child, why are you telling me this?

Zhang Lan was a little embarrassed to be looked at by Mo Hua, but now that he had spoken, he still bravely explained:

"The Dao Tingsi doesn't care about the normal affairs between men and women. But dual cultivation is not allowed. All dual cultivation techniques and secret techniques will be burned immediately as soon as they are discovered..."

"Once a monk engages in dual cultivation and is discovered by the Dao Tingsi, he will be held accountable. Although it is not as serious as a criminal conviction, it will also be recorded by the Dao Tingsi, which will have an impact on your future apprenticeship and marriage..."

Mo Hua asked doubtfully: "Didn't you say that there is no hindrance to dual cultivation? Why is it banned?"

"That's the theory, but it's actually another story."

Zhang Lan sighed: "Although dual cultivation is not a hindrance and does not violate the "Law of Tao", if dual cultivation is not allowed, some people will do it in the name of dual cultivation, which is indirectly equivalent to letting it go. And if dual cultivation is not allowed, the Tao Tingsi also It’s hard to trace. Once you do, others will claim that they are practicing dual cultivation instead of taking supplements. There is nothing you can do against them..."

Zhang Lan said, feeling a little superior, "The most annoying thing is that some monks have been harvested and still don't know it, and they still enjoy it, and even defend the people who harvested it, which is simply stupid!"

"If they say it's between you and me, is there nothing you can do?" Mo Hua asked. 6̳̳

Zhang Lan snorted coldly, "In front of the Daolu, there is no love between you and me. If you violate the Daolu, you will be caught, and you will not be able to escape."

Mo Hua nodded.

Zhang Lan said: "This is the first reason."

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, "Any more?"

"Of course," Zhang Lan said, "The monastic world has been around for more than 20,000 years and there are hundreds of millions of monks. Is there anything messy?"

"oh oh."

Zhang Lan continued: "The second reason is that dual cultivation between Taoist couples can also turn into supplementation."

Mo Hua opened his mouth wide, "Isn't it because we have a good relationship that we become Taoist couples?"

"What do you know?"

Zhang Lan looked like you were still young and you didn’t understand.

"The closer a Taoist couple is, the easier it is for them to have discord. Today they love each other to the death, but tomorrow they want to kill each other. Once there is discord, it is easy to turn into hatred. Then the dual cultivation before will become the same now. Chengcaibu…”

Mo Hua was eye-opening and couldn't help but say:

"Uncle Zhang, if you know so much, you won't be picked on..."

Zhang Lan immediately tugged Mo Hua's ear and said:

"Don't talk nonsense! I am a serious monk!"

Mo Hua rubbed his ears and whispered:

"Who knows if it's serious or not..."

Zhang Lan had no choice but to look at the ink painting and said:

"You have to be careful in the future."

"Why should I be careful? I don't know how to collect supplements..."

Zhang Lan smiled mischievously, "Although you won't be picking up supplements, you will be picked up."

Mo Hua was dumbfounded, "No way..."

"Not only female cultivators will be harvested by male cultivators, but male cultivators will also be harvested by female cultivators." Zhang Lan said with a half-smile, "Especially someone like you who is handsome and cute."

Mo Hua grew his mouth.

Zhang Lan patted Mo Hua on the shoulder: "When you see those coquettish and slutty female cultivators in the future, please pay more attention, they might want to pluck you."

Mo Hua pondered for a long time and nodded seriously.

Then he discovered another blind spot and said curiously:

"Female nuns are fed by male nuns, and male nuns are fed by female nuns. So, male nuns are fed by male nuns, and female nuns are fed by female nuns?"

Zhang Lan's eyes darkened when asked.

What a mess!

What's going on in your little head? How come you can ask anything? !

Zhang Lan was speechless for a long time, and finally sighed feebly, "Go to sleep, I'm tired."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and ignored Mo Hua.

Mo Hua wanted to ask again, but seeing that Zhang Lan's expression was already a little haggard, he wisely stopped asking.

The lights in the camp flickered and gradually became quiet.

Mo Hua took the formation book and read it for a while. At midnight, he entered the sea of ​​consciousness to practice the formation, then closed his eyes and rested for a while.

At Mao o'clock the next day, the sky turned pale, and Mo Hua woke up.

Mo Hua stood up, and at the same time, Zhang Lan and the other three also opened their eyes.

The three of them had a quick bite to eat, then left the camp and continued on their way.

When he arrived at Guyun Peak, Mo Hua checked the terrain and circled several places on the map.

These places are relatively hidden, monsters are rare, and it is not easy to be discovered by other monks.

Zhang Lan ordered: "Try to be careful not to reveal any traces, so as not to alert the enemy. If you encounter the thief, don't take action easily. Keep an eye on him from a distance first, and wait until we are all there before taking action."

Several people nodded, then followed the places circled in ink and went to look for them separately.

Mo Hua followed Zhang Lan.

Zhang Lan's cultivation level is high, so it would be safer for him to follow Zhang Lan.

Several people searched around and finally gathered in a mountain forest. There was a camp not far from the mountain forest.

Mo Hua said: "There are traces around, and the thief should be hiding in that camp."

"Could it be another demon hunter?" Situ Fang asked.

Mo Hua said: "This camp has long been abandoned, and the demon hunters will not stay there."

Zhang Lan nodded and said: "Let's surround the camp and take action together. Mo Hua, there will be some danger here, please run away."

"Um."

Mo Hua nodded and immediately ran away.
