Asking about longevity

Mo Hua's pupils shrank.

Exterminate the family? !

Xie family?

"The Xie family of Bishan City, isn't it..."

Murong Caiyun nodded, "That was the day when we went to capture the traitors in Kinmen and came into contact with the second-grade Xie family."

Mo Hua remembered.

That day, he, Senior Sister Murong, and Senior Brother Feng accepted the mission and went to Bishan City to capture a traitor who broke the Golden Gate.

The traitor was said to have stolen something from the Xie family and disappeared without a trace. The Xie family could not catch him, so they sent the task to the sect.

In order to arrest people, the Xie family went to great lengths to seal off the city and search the streets.

But for some reason, the meritorious service was given very little.

And that traitor is indeed difficult to catch.

He practiced the "Golden Escape Technique" of breaking the golden gate, and he was also proficient in "disguise". He disguised himself as a woman and hid in a brothel called a restaurant but actually a brothel.

It took a lot of effort to capture him.

The strange thing about this matter is...

The traitor's disguise technique was very exquisite. He was sometimes a man, sometimes a woman, sometimes an old woman, sometimes a dwarf. When he was caught, he looked like a big man.

I have no idea what his original appearance was.

What the spiritual consciousness detects is only the existence of spiritual power, not the appearance of flesh and blood.

Therefore, although Mo Hua's spiritual consciousness is strong and can recognize his spiritual power, he cannot restore the flesh and blood appearance of the traitor apart from his spiritual power.

Moreover, Mo Hua didn't know what the traitor had stolen from the Xie family.

When leaving Bishan City, Mo Hua only vaguely felt that this matter was not over yet.

But I didn't expect that it would start with the "annihilation" of the Xie family...

Mo Hua asked softly:

"Senior sister, why was the Xie family wiped out by the Fire Buddha?"

Murong Caiyun shook his head, "I don't know either, Daotingsi is still investigating, and the rumors outside are not very credible."

"What kind of gossip?" Mo Hua asked curiously.

"There are all kinds of things..."

Murong Caiyun raised her white fingers and counted them one by one for Mo Hua...

"It is said that the Xie family had offended the Fire Buddha and had a grudge. The Fire Buddha came here to take revenge..."

"It is said that the Fire Buddha colluded with the Xie family and the spoils were divided unevenly, so he killed everyone in the Xie family..."

"Some people say that the Fire Buddha was doing evil exercises, so he took Xie's whole family as sacrifices..."

"It is also said that the head of the Xie family took away the woman that Huo Buddha loved. Fire Buddha was so disheartened that he became a monk and became a demon. Now that he has perfected his magic, he sacrifices the lives of the Xie family to pay homage to his beloved woman..."

"What's even more outrageous is that some people don't distinguish between right and wrong. They say that the Xie family was exterminated because they must have committed many injustices. The Fire Buddha killed people to do justice for heaven..."

…

"Rumors spread everywhere, and no one knows what happened..." Murong Caiyun shook his head.

Mo Hua frowned, then felt unbearable and asked:

"Is it true... that no one was left alive?"

Murong Caiyun sighed softly, "No..."

While Mo Hua sympathized, he also had some doubts:

"Didn't the Xie family resist?"

"The Xie family is a second-grade family after all, and there are many monks in the family. Even if they are defeated, they can still hold on for a while, and maybe one or two can escape..."

Murong Caiyun's eyes narrowed slightly, "I think so too..."

"This matter is very strange..."

"No matter how weak the Xie family is, it is still one of the best monastic families in Bishan City..."

"No matter how powerful the Fire Buddha is, he is only a second-grade sin cultivator."

"Logically speaking, it is impossible for the Fire Buddha to kill all the monks in a family..."

"But the fact is..."

Murong Caiyun sighed deeply, his expression extremely solemn.

"The Xie family is all dead..."

"According to the monks in Bishan City, that night, the entire Xie family's mansion was shrouded in a sea of ​​fire, and half the sky was dyed red with blood. All the monks in the Xie family were killed like evil ghosts in purgatory, divided into pieces, and then buried in the sky. Turned into ashes in the fire of karma..."

"In the boundless fire of karma, the culprit, the Fire Buddha, is wearing a cassock, with fiery eyes, chanting the Buddha's name, and a face showing cold compassion..."

As if thinking of that scene, Mo Hua felt awe-struck for a moment.

The Fire Buddha seems to be much more dangerous than I thought...

And the power of the Fire Meteor Technique may be much more terrifying than I imagined...

Mo Hua thought of "Qiao Lao Wu" and "Yin Lei Zi", and asked doubtfully: "Fire Buddha...does he have any accomplices?"

He may not be able to do this by himself.

"I don't know about that..."

Murong Caiyun shook his head, "The annihilation of families is a cruel method, and the impact is extremely bad. Daotingsi will block the news and not disclose any clues to the outside world."

"Has there been any family extermination before?" Mo Hua asked.

Murong Caiyun thought for a while before speaking, "Rarely... the last time, it seems that it was more than a hundred years ago, when a small family was wiped out by evil cultivators..."

"I don't know the details. I only found out about it when my sister-in-law told me about it."

"The nature of the genocide was so bad that some small families were panicked. The upper echelons of the Daoting Division were furious and sent a large number of Dians and Executives to search for that group of evil cultivators day and night."

"In the end, the group of criminal cultivators were all captured, and they died in Lingchi using the formation. They were hung up to show to the public to serve as a warning to others..."

“Since then, we haven’t heard much about the annihilation of the family.”

"Then now, the Xie family was wiped out by the Fire Buddha..."

"This kind of thing will also shake people's hearts, so Daotingsi will not reveal any information until the criminal cultivator is arrested and the truth is clarified."

"Then..." Mo Hua whispered, "Will the Dao Tingsi issue a reward to the sect to hunt down the Fire Buddha?"

"No." Murong Caiyun affirmed.

"No way?" Mo Hua was a little disappointed.

"Um."

Murong Caiyun nodded and explained:

"This kind of thing is too dangerous..."

"The bounties issued by the Dao Tingsi usually target criminal cultivators in the early and middle stages of foundation building. Although their strength is not weak, they can still be dealt with with the cooperation of the disciples of the sect."

"But Fire Buddha is different. This kind of murderous and extremely dangerous sin cultivator, Dao Tingsi dare not send the task to the sect."

"Most of the disciples of the sect come from aristocratic families. Once something goes wrong, Daotingsi will also be held accountable."

"What's more, if it involves the extermination of a family, Daotingsi will not leak the information in order to keep it secret."

"At most, after the Fire Buddha is caught and the matter is settled, some tasks will be sent out and the disciples of the sect can help catch some fish that slipped through the net..."

"oh……"

Mo Hua nodded, looking thoughtful, not knowing what he was thinking.

Murong Caiyun glanced at the ink painting and warned:

"Don't come up with any wrong ideas..."

Mo Hua was startled.

Murong Caiyun asked: "Are you interested in Fire Buddha?"

"That's right..."

Mo Hua said vaguely.

He was not interested in the Fire Buddha, but mainly in the Fire Buddha's forbidden techniques.

Murong Caiyun's eyes brightened slightly when he saw the ink painting, and he said helplessly:

"The pursuit of the Fire Buddha is a matter for the Dao Tingsi, and there is no room for us to interfere."

"And this matter is extremely dangerous. If you fall into the hands of the Fire Buddha, you will probably be in trouble. If you can escape from the Fire Buddha once, you may not be able to escape the second time..."

Murong Caiyun looked worried, "So, don't take the risk of going into this muddy water..."

Mo Hua thought carefully and said solemnly:

"Sister, don't worry!"

…

After Murong Caiyun left, Mo Hua was thinking about the Fire Buddha.

Senior sister is right, this matter is indeed too dangerous.

But forbidden skills are not easy to obtain, and merit cannot be exchanged for them.

What's more, Fire Buddha's Fire Meteor Technique is also a forbidden fire technique. The two flames in his body are burning like a heart.

This is very likely to be the key to his own research on fireball collision, spell collapse, and spiritual fusion.

If you have a chance, you must get this Fire Meteor Technique!

Once you miss it, you won’t know when it will happen again next time.

Just be sure to be cautious enough.

Save your own life.

I still have to support my parents in their old age!

Mo Hua frowned and began to think seriously:

"But how can I get the Meteor Fire Technique?"

Capture the Fire Buddha before Daotingsi?

Once Daotingsi catches Fire Buddha, even if Fire Buddha confesses the secret of "Meeting Fire Technique", he will not be able to obtain this forbidden technique.

It is impossible for Daotingsi to hand over dangerous forbidden techniques to a small disciple of Taixu Sect.

What's more, with the way the Fire Buddha behaves, there is a high probability that he would rather "burn with both jade and stone" than hand over the forbidden technique.

As long as the Fire Buddha is arrested, this forbidden fire technique will be buried with him.

"Catch Fire Buddha before Daotingsi? Or kill Fire Buddha directly and search for his body?"

How to kill?

Kill on your own?

Mo Hua thought for a moment and shook his head helplessly.

"Not too possible……"

Fire Buddha is vigilant, and his personal cultivation, spells, and methods are all too strong.

What's more, he also has sin cultivators like Yin Lei Zi, Blood Woodcutter, Ghost Faced Evil, etc. to act as henchmen.

Those losers of his are not easy to deal with either.

If he were to kill him by himself, he would probably have to make careful preparations, set up an ambush in advance, and disintegrate the entire first-level formation in order to kill the Fire Buddha in the later stage of foundation building.

But where can I find a first-grade formation to disintegrate?

Furthermore, the first-grade formation costs so much. To disintegrate it and kill the Fire Buddha would be a waste of resources.

Moreover, Fire Buddha is cautious, and even if he sets a trap, he may not jump into it.

Therefore, we can only rely on others to kill...

I help out from the side and do a little favor.

So, who will kill?

Mo Hua touched his chin and thought...

Senior Sister Murong and Senior Brother Feng will definitely not be able to do this.

Senior brothers and sisters are only in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. Although they are talented disciples of the Eight Gates, they are still inferior to the Fire Buddha who killed people and wiped out his family in the later stage of Foundation Establishment.

Whether we can win or not is another matter.

If you miss it, you may lose your life.

Senior Sister Murong cares about herself and doesn't want to put herself in danger.

I also don't want my senior brothers and sisters who have helped me a lot to bear this kind of danger.

They don't have as many life-saving means as they do.

Who else?

Mo Hua thought about it and found that there was only one person who could help and kill the fire Buddha.

That is Uncle Gu Changhuai...

Cultivating in the Golden Core Realm, he is the Dian Secretary of the Taoist Court.

The identity is suitable and the cultivation level is sufficient.

And Uncle Gu seems to have been thinking about bringing the Fire Buddha to justice.

But that's the problem. He is from the Daoting Division. Even if he captures the Fire Buddha and tortures him out of the "Meeting Fire Technique" secret book, he is unlikely to hand it over to him, both publicly and privately.

Putting yourself in his shoes, if you were "Uncle Gu", you wouldn't hand over the meteor fire technique to "Mo Hua" who doesn't know the details.

In his mind, he is a "dangerous" person.

It was impossible for him to let an already "dangerous" young monk learn a more "dangerous" forbidden technique...

But after much deliberation, Mo Hua found that there was really no other option.

Uncle Gu is already the only candidate.

Mo Hua sighed slightly.

"Let's take a step and see..."

"First find a way to get through Uncle Gu, get involved in the Daoting Division, get clues, and hunt down the Fire Buddha..."

"Then we will act according to the opportunity. Can we follow Uncle Gu to fish in troubled waters and secretly obtain the secret of the "Meeting Fire Technique"..."

That's all it can do for now.

After that, Mo Hua continued to attend classes and practice as usual, accompany Yu'er to do homework, draw formations, and then find time to inquire about the Fire Buddha.

But Senior Sister Murong is right.

Daotingsi will indeed not assign the mission of Fire Buddha to the sect.

For most disciples of the sect, the words "Fire Buddha" are almost nothing more than rumors and topics of conversation after class.

It is impossible for them to come into contact with it in this life.

Mo Hua had no choice but to take time out and go to Daotingsi to find Uncle Gu.

However, the Tao Ting Si is very strict, and the Ting Si's room is not accessible casually.

Relying on the route in his memory and his own wit, Mo Hua deceived the chief executive along the way and arrived at Gu Changhuai's court chief's room, only to find that he had failed.

Gu Changhuai went out to arrest Sui Xiu.

Mo Hua didn't know if it was the Fire Buddha that Gu Changhuai was looking for. He couldn't find anyone to ask, so he had to return without success.

"There's no one in the Daoting Division, so it's really inconvenient to do things..."

Mo Hua sighed.

He could only find another way.

During the ten-day break, Mo Hua had some free time, so he accompanied Yu'er and went back to Gu's house.

This is the first time Yu'er looks back at home after entering Taixu Gate.

Wen Renwan had been waiting at the door of Gu's house for a long time, with a look of anticipation on her face.

Although it was her idea to send Yu'er to the Taixu Sect, mother and son are connected, and she is no longer worried about Yu'er day and night...

Worrying about how Yu'er's practice is going, whether she can eat well, whether she will be happy, and more importantly...

Can I not be troubled by nightmares, have a peaceful sleep, and have a good sleep?

Soon, the carriage stopped at the door of Gu's house.

Yu'er jumped out of the carriage, shouted "Mother" and ran into Wen Renwan's arms.

Wen Renwan hugged Yu'er and was overjoyed to see that Yu'er's skin was fair, her face was rosy, she was in good spirits, and her hands were heavy. She seemed to have regained her strength and gained a little weight.

This shows that Yu'er is happy and free from illness and disaster at Taixu Gate.

No more horrible nightmares.

Wen Renwan looked at the ink painting and felt grateful.

In the evening, Wenren Wan prepared a table full of delicacies, all of which Mo Hua had never tasted before.

Mo Hua ate happily.

Yu'er also sat next to him, holding a small bowl and imitating ink painting, her little cheeks bulging.

Wen Renwan sat on the side, holding her cheek, looking at the two children, one older and one younger, with a gentle smile in her eyes.

After a while, Gu Changhuai came.

He seemed to have just come back from Daotingsi, with a dusty look on his face, but when he heard that Yu'er was back, he still came to take a look.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the ink painting beside Yu'er, his expression became complicated, and his scalp felt slightly numb.

He felt that trouble seemed to be coming...

"Chang Huai, you've just come back, why don't you eat something..." Wen Renwan said in a gentle tone.

Yu'er was a little cautious and said solemnly: "Hello, uncle..."

Gu Changhuai's heart melted when he heard the childish "uncle", but his expression was still as stiff as ever, with a sense of clumsiness that he wanted to express his kindness but couldn't.

Mo Hua looked at it and shook his head.

Wen Renwan looked at the ink painting and then at Gu Changhuai. He understood and said with a smile:

"I'll take Yu'er for a walk outside to eat..."

"Chang Huai..." Wen Renwan glanced at Gu Changhuai and gave him a sharp look, "Please treat Mo Hua."

Gu Changhuai's mouth felt bitter.

Wen Renwan took Yu'er and left.

Gu Changhuai sighed, sat opposite Mo Hua, poured himself a glass of wine, drank it all, and then said helplessly:

"You're not here specifically to see me, are you?"

Mo Hua said truthfully: "It's not all..."

He sent Yu'er back, firstly, he wanted to send Yu'er back to Aunt Wan, so that Yu'er could meet her mother and not worry Aunt Wan.

The second is to avoid Yu'er coming back alone and being harassed by demons in the middle of the night and unable to sleep.

And he also missed a "ration" of spiritual consciousness.

The last target is naturally Gu Changhuai.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Gu Changhuai sighed.

This little trouble is coming, and you can't hide from it.

Mo Hua blinked and whispered: "Uncle Gu, Daotingsi is looking for the Fire Buddha, can you take me with you?"

Gu Changhuai knew he was going to say this and refused righteously:

"no!"

"Why not?" Mo Hua asked.

Gu Changhuai glanced at the ink painting and sighed: "You are too young, your cultivation level is too low, you have just started, and the most important thing is that you are not from Daotingsi..."

Mo Hua asked curiously: "If I were from Daotingsi, would that be all right?"

Gu Changhuai snorted coldly in his heart.

People from Daotingsi...

How could Daotingsi be so easy to get into?

From the executive director and diansi at the bottom to the deputy chief and chief at the top, all candidates must pass an assessment before being hired.

The assessment is very strict and covers many categories, including spiritual roots, martial arts, martial arts or magic, family background, whether there is a criminal record, whether there are direct blood relatives in the three generations who have been imprisoned and become demons, etc...

Daotingsi's review is extremely strict and the requirements are extremely high.

What's more, you are still a casual cultivator with no identity or background, how can you possibly enter the Daoting Division...

Gu Changhuai said perfunctorily: "Well, if you are from Daotingsi, I can barely consider it..."

Mo Hua silently took out a bronze waist badge.

The shape is simple and very low-end, but it looks familiar...

Gu Changhuai was stunned for a moment, his brows twitching wildly.

Mo Hua's eyes were cunning, but he said seriously:

"Uncle Gu, actually... I also have the identity of a Daotingsi..."
