Asking about longevity

Hwarangjun died naturally without any trace of human intervention.

He was taken into Dao Tingsi and tortured. After some interrogation, he was thrown into Dao Prison.

After that, it seemed like this person was no longer there.

He was chained, had no food or drink, and his injuries were getting worse. No one looked at him again, no one said a word to him, and he just "left to fend for himself."

Even if he died, no one seemed to know.

No one even collected the bodies.

But this is obviously not in line with Daotingsi's rules.

That's why Mo Hua felt that there was an inner ghost in the Daoting Division, so that he could kill Hwarang-jun and silence him without anyone noticing, in the tightly closed and dark Dao prison.

And Hwarang Jun obviously has clues about the Fire Buddha.

Gu Changhuai's face looked ugly.

He summoned several chief executives in the Taoist prison and sternly held them to account.

The officers, with their faces full of fear, bowed their heads:

"Dianji, I'm sorry, we really didn't know this..."

"After the arraignment, no one cared about him."

"For some reason, he died suddenly."

"I was negligent for a moment and did not notice the life and death of this sinful cultivator. Please forgive me!"

In words, he said "forgiveness", but it was all evasion.

If Hwarang-kun is guilty, it will be a death sentence.

Being careless and not paying attention caused a death row prisoner who was "certain to die" to die some time earlier than expected.

This is not a big deal.

Even if they were reported, they would only get a few words of reprimand and a fine of salary.

Although Gu Changhuai was angry, it was difficult to do anything to them.

Moreover, these two prison officials may not know the inside story.

It is very possible that the "negligence" they refer to is really just negligence.

It’s nothing more than “negligence” under the control of others.

But there is one thing that Mo Hua may be right about.

There are some people in the Daoting Division who are probably not very clean...

Even the incident with Yu'er last time...

Gu Changhuai frowned and thought, suddenly his heart trembled, he turned around suddenly and looked at the ink painting next to him.

He felt that Mo Hua's aura suddenly changed and became very strange, and there was also a hint of unexplainable mysterious meaning.

As if possessed by something...

It's also like something happened to his consciousness.

How is this going?

Gu Changhuai was shocked and confused.

At this moment, Mo Hua turned around, the dark and strange color in his eyes flashed away, and became clear and transparent again.

"Uncle Gu, what's wrong?"

Gu Changhuai's eyelids twitched slightly.

The ink painting is still the same as before. The eyes are clear and like a pool of water. The luster is restrained and the bottom cannot be seen.

But he clearly felt that dangerous and treacherous aura...

"Is it an illusion..."

"I'm still too suspicious..."

Gu Changhuai frowned.

Mo Hua blinked.

He did take advantage of Gu Changhuai's distraction just now, and secretly used the devious algorithm to fuse it, and took a peek at Hwarang Jun's cause and effect.

In this moment of effort, the change in consciousness was actually noticed.

He is worthy of being the Diansi of Daotingsi.

Mo Hua took this as a warning.

It seems that in front of the great monks above the Golden Core Realm, especially the Diansi of Dazhou Jie Dao Tingsi, this kind of fusion of heavenly secrets and the method of peering into cause and effect should be used with caution.

In order to avoid being found out by someone who is interested...

The master's divine calculation is actually better, but the cause and effect is a little bigger, and on the surface it is still a righteous method.

But the master's secret plan is different.

In this world, apart from the master uncle, there is probably no one else who cultivates the treacherous path and spiritual thoughts.

It would be terrible if he was regarded as a "little trickster".

Seeing that Gu Changhuai was still looking at him suspiciously, as if his suspicion was still lingering, Mo Hua "strike first to gain advantage" and asked first:

"Uncle Gu, do you see anything?"

"How did this Hwarang-kun die?"

"Who killed him?"

"Could it be..."

Mo Hua raised his eyebrows and glanced at the two deacons next to him, who were in charge of the prison.

The two executives immediately broke out in cold sweat and said to Gu Changhuai:

"Gu Diansi!"

"Although we were negligent, the death of Sin Cultivator really had nothing to do with us..."

"How dare we break the law and kill people in prison..."

"Gu Diansi, you must be wise!"

"Gu Diansi..."

Gu Changhuai was interrupted by the quarrel between the two, and he forgot about the ink painting.

"Okay." Gu Changhuai glanced at the two of them with a cold gaze, "This matter will be handled according to the rules, and you will be punished if you deserve it. You can go down."

The two of them did not dare to disobey Gu Changhuai, so they both saluted and said, "Yes."

Then the two of them retreated.

Gu Changhuai wanted to say something to Mo Hua, but he raised his head, glanced at the gloomy and closed roof of the prison, shook his head, and gave up the idea.

"Let's go out first..." Gu Changhuai said.

"oh."

Mo Hua followed Gu Changhuai and left the prison.

But when leaving, Mo Hua quietly turned back and glanced at the dead Hwarang Jun.

This hualangjun was as pink as a flower, handsome and suave during his lifetime. He wandered around the gentle countryside and picked up many women.

After his death, no one knew about him, leaving behind only ragged clothes and a dirty, rotting skin.

Sure enough, all the phenomena in the world, the pleasures of flesh and blood, are all false.

besides……

Hwarangjun died so naturally.

There is no sign of human intervention.

Just now, his pupils were dark and fused, and he couldn't see any trace of cause and effect.

This method of killing is extremely clever.

"The best way to cover up cause and effect is to let nature take its course and not get involved in cause and effect..."

Mo Hua silently recorded it in his heart.

"Study hard..."

…

After leaving the prison, Gu Changhuai's face was as dark as water.

After thinking about it, he ordered someone to bring over some of Hwarang-kun's relics, evidence, and storage bags.

Then he chose a quiet court room by himself and read through it by himself.

Mo Hua was next to him, leaning his head to take a look.

When Gu Changhuai saw this, he quickly covered the things, shook his head and said, "You can't look at it."

"Why?" Mo Hua asked.

"You are still young..."

Mo Hua doesn't understand.

Seeing that Mo Hua really didn't understand, Gu Changhuai sighed and reminded:

"Hwarang-kun is a flower picker..."

In his storage bag, there are a lot of vulgar and obscene things that are inappropriate for children...

Definitely not for Mo Hua to see.

Otherwise he will learn to be bad.

Mo Hua suddenly remembered that when he caught Huarang Jun, Senior Sister Murong didn't let him see the things in the storage bag.

"Okay, if you don't want to watch it, don't watch it..."

Mo Hua lay on the side and stared at Gu Changhuai.

Gu Changhuai felt uncomfortable being looked at by the ink paintings, and said with some displeasure:

"What are you looking at me for? What should I do? What should I do? I'm investigating the case..."

Mo Hua raised three fingers:

"Three chapters of agreement!"

"Principle 3: If I go out, I will follow you and never leave. Don't act without authorization or do whatever you want..."

"You said that yourself!"

The ink painting is straightforward and confident.

Gu Changhuai had a headache.

I was careless, and I accidentally shot myself in the foot again.

This kid's mind is moving too fast...

You can exploit even the slightest loophole.

"Fine……"

Gu Changhuai had no choice but to ignore the ink paintings and look through Hwarangjun's storage bag, looking for clues in it.

This storage bag was sealed by Daotingsi.

The monks outside are out of reach.

If the monks within Daotingsi try to do something, they will definitely leave traces.

So far, no one has touched the contents inside.

Gu Changhuai relied on his many years of experience in handling cases in the Daoting Division and carefully looked through each piece, paying attention to clues and looking for usable clues.

But here, most of them are unsightly things.

Gu Changhuai became more and more annoyed as he watched.

Finally, when he saw a jade slip, his expression was shocked, and there was a hint of clarity in his eyes.

The ink painting, which couldn't look at the storage bag but could keep staring at Gu Changhuai, also instantly captured the emotional change on Gu Changhuai's face.

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, "Uncle Gu, do you have any clues?"

Gu Changhuai was about to nod, but suddenly shook his head, put the jade slip on his body, and said lightly: "No."

"I saw it!" Mo Hua said firmly.

"What do you see?"

"I saw your eyes changed," Mo Hua said, "You must have discovered something!"

Gu Changhuai's scalp was numb and he couldn't help but curse in his heart:

The kid Mo Hua must have been taken away by some old monster.

At such a young age, he is as shrewd as a ghost.

But Gu Changhuai still said stubbornly: "If I say no, there will be no."

"Okay." Mo Hua sighed.

He was a dignified Taoist priest in the Golden Core Realm, and he acted like a rogue without caring about his face. What could he do if he was a little monk?

Mo Hua could only settle for the next best thing and asked:

"Uncle Gu, where should we go next?"

Gu Changhuai said without thinking: "Hwarang-kun is dead, the clue is 'broken'..."

Then seeing Mo Hua looking at him questioningly, Gu Changhuai coughed, looked away, and said relaxedly:

"We can go home."

Mo Hua nodded, "Uncle Gu, you go back first."

"Yeah." Gu Changhuai nodded, then suddenly startled, "Aren't you going back?"

"I still have something to do."

"What's up?"

Mo Hua didn't hide it either, "I want to go to Bishan City to see the Xie family that was exterminated."

Gu Changhuai frowned, "The Xie family has been reduced to scorched earth and has been sealed off by the Dao Tingsi. You can't get in. And the current Bishan City is a bit dangerous, so you can't go."

Mo Hua whispered: "How about you take me there?"

"No." Gu Changhuai refused.

"Then I'll go by myself," Mo Hua said, "When you go back, tell Aunt Wan that I won't look back home. After I go to Bishan City, I will return to the sect myself."

Mo Hua looked calm, but his eyes were cunning.

Gu Changhuai was stunned for a moment and understood instantly.

This kid Mo Hua is threatening himself.

I took this kid Mo Hua out. If I didn't take him back, I would definitely be scolded by my cousin, and my cousin would be worried.

He must bring him to his cousin intact.

Moreover, if he doesn't want to go back, he won't be able to use force.

Otherwise, they can have a conversation and take him back by force. Once he files a complaint, he will have no way to explain to his cousin.

After all, he is obviously the "little benefactor" of the Shangguan family and cannot be disrespected.

So this time, I can only let him go. Wherever he goes, I will follow him...

Gu Changhuai's teeth were itching with hatred.

Mo Hua looked calm and waited for Gu Changhuai's reply.

Gu Changhuai thought for a long time and finally compromised, "Okay, I'll take you there, but as we agreed, when we go to Bishan City, you can go back home with me and don't have any other thoughts."

"Yeah!" Mo Hua said with a smile, "It's a deal!"

…

It was getting late and it was not suitable to leave, so the two of them rested for the night at the inn in Luanshan City.

At dawn the next day, after simply eating something, we set off, leaving Luanshan City and heading to nearby Bishan City.

This is the second time Mo Hua has entered Bishan City.

It is crossed by cliffs, thousands of meters high, and intertwined with mountains.

Most of the cave buildings are built on steep cliffs, which look strange and magnificent.

But the atmosphere in the city is a bit depressing.

Pedestrians passing by on the road remained silent and looked worried and solemn.

Fire Buddha massacred all the monks of the Xie family in front of the Tao Ting Si and the monks in the city.

The Xie family was reduced to a sea of ​​​​fire, the whole family was cut off, and hundreds of years of foundation were destroyed in one fell swoop.

Everyone in Bishan City is somewhat in danger.

Gu Changhuai's expression was even more ugly. His face was livid all the way, and he wanted to immediately behead the Fire Buddha and all the criminal cultivators in public.

Not long after, the two arrived at the ruins of the Xie family's mansion.

What you see is ruins and scorched earth.

Floor tiles are embedded in the ground outside Xie's house.

These floor tiles, with formations painted on them, connected end to end, formed a thin, invisible barrier, sealing off the Xie family, which had been reduced to a piece of scorched earth, and not allowing outsiders to enter.

This is Daotingsi's warning formation.

"Just watch from outside." Gu Changhuai said.

Mo Hua disagreed, but had no choice but to peek inside through the warning formation.

At this glance, we saw some clues.

Although it was completely charred, traces of the formation still remained on the outside of the Xie family.

"Second-grade Golden Earth Genshan Reunion Formation..."

Mo Hua murmured.

Gu Changhuai was startled when he heard the name of this formation.

Mo Hua continued to read, and at the same time released his spiritual consciousness. Instead of using trick calculations, he only used calculations to deduce the remaining spiritual traces of the formation, and murmured in a low voice:

"Outside of Xie's family..."

"Originally... it was a second-grade Golden Earth Genshan formation, a defensive formation composed of Five Elements Golden Earth and Bagua Genshan..."

"However, the array pattern has been changed..."

"Only the gold array pattern has been changed, nothing else has been changed..."

"No... it's through the changes to the gold array patterns that the earth array patterns, formations, and effects are changed..."

"The second-grade Jintu Genshan formation will become..."

"Second-grade 'Burial' Tugenshan Reunion Formation..."

"This trap has buried all the Xie family in their own home..."

…

The more Gu Changhuai listened, the more frightened he became, and he said in a solemn tone:

"Who did you hear that from?"

"What?" Mo Hua was slightly startled.

"About the Xie family's formation..." Gu Changhuai looked solemn.

Mo Hua asked doubtfully: "Do you still need to hear about this kind of thing? Can't you see it at a glance..."

You can tell at a glance...

Gu Changhuai turned his head and glanced at the dark scorched earth in front of him.

Can you tell at a glance that you are a big-headed ghost?

How can this be seen?

It's all black, full of debris, everything has been burned, what can you tell from this?

Gu Changhuai felt a little unbelievable.

What Mo Hua said is basically exactly the same as what Daotingsi found out...

The difference is that Daotingsi invited several second-grade formation masters to conduct inspections for three days from morning to night, and then carefully compared them before restoring these formations from a pile of ruins. The change.

Because of this, I learned what the Xie family's formation was and what they did to it.

But ink painting...

He just walked over and took a look...

Even through the warning formation, you can see everything without even walking in to take a look?

Gu Changhuai's mood was complicated.

Although the facts were before his eyes, common sense prevented him from believing such outrageous things.

"You...really saw it?"

Gu Changhuai asked with a frown.

"Of course!" Mo Hua looked proud, "I am a disciple of Taixu Sect!"

What's more, he also learned formations from Mr. Xun.

These days, whenever I have meritorious deeds, I go to the Merit Pavilion to change formations. I don’t know how many second-level formations I have learned.

With the teachings of Mr. Xun and the profound inheritance of formations collected by Taixu Sect’s predecessors, Mo Hua’s current formation foundation is stronger than before.

He is now considered a second-grade formation master with a truly great sect background!

However, it has no real name, and it has not been finalized yet.

Gu Changhuai frowned even more tightly.

Does this have anything to do with Taixu Sect?

Taixu Sect is not a sect based on formations. Where did the disciples under the sect come from such outrageous formation attainments?

Even if it is a sect with a formation, it is impossible!

What's more, you haven't even been a full year since you started...

How much can you learn?

Gu Changhuai stared at the ink painting for a few times, then suddenly his mind moved slightly and he asked:

"Do you want to go in and take a look?"

Mo Hua was surprised, "Really?"

Gu Changhuai nodded.

Mo Hua was a little suspicious.

Uncle Gu...is a bit abnormal...

Originally, I wanted to go into Xie's house to have a look, but he wouldn't let me.

Now he didn't say anything, but he took the initiative to let himself go in and take a look.

However, he would not refuse such a good thing.

"Okay!" Mo Hua nodded.

Gu Changhuai took out a golden waist badge.

This waist medal is made of pure gold, elegant and luxurious. It is much more expensive than Mo Hua's shabby bronze waist medal at first glance.

Mo Hua looked a little greedy.

But now I can only take a look.

Gu Changhuai held a gold waistband in his hand and lightly scratched the warning formation.

An invisible, faint barrier was opened.

"Let's go."

Gu Changhuai walked in first.

Mo Hua hesitated for a moment, then took steps forward, followed Gu Changhuai, crossed the warning formation, and walked into the Xie family where everyone was killed.

His footsteps, as soon as he stepped down, stepped on the charred ground where the blood had been burned dry.

Suddenly, a scream sounded in my ears.

This voice was very sad and filled with boundless pain.

Under the blue sky and white sun, the ink painting is currently hazy.

The sea of ​​​​fire suddenly appeared in the dark night.

In the sea of ​​fire, there were densely packed figures. They were running, struggling, and roaring in pain, like unjust souls suffering in hell.

The executioners with ferocious looks raised their butcher knives, slaughtering, dismembering, and reveling.

A knife blade pierced the flesh and blood, slit the chest, opened the abdomen, and took out the bloody internal organs...

The sea of ​​fire boils, blood and fire mingle.

The human face is ferocious, like a demon dancing wildly.

And those who died tragically were like slaughtered animals...
