Asking about longevity

In the Xie family's mansion, we saw everything we needed to see and found everything we needed to find.

Things have happened here, and the Xie family is not a place to stay for a long time.

Mo Hua then followed Gu Changhuai and left.

When he walked to the door, Mo Hua suddenly remembered something and took out a bottle of wine from his storage bag.

It's just that his wine is fruit wine, so it's not suitable.

Mo Hua then raised his head and asked Gu Changhuai: "Uncle Gu, do you have any liquor?"

Gu Changhuai was startled, then nodded and said, "Yes."

Then, without asking any further questions, he took out an exquisite jade wine bottle from his storage bag and handed it to Mo Hua.

A strong aroma of wine filled the air.

Mo Hua sprinkled a pot of strong wine at the door of Xie's house.

The figures of the Xie family who were slaughtered like "livestock", died tragically, and then became deformed and evil, emerged in my mind one by one...

Mo Hua said silently in his heart:

"Rest in peace..."

"I will ask the Fire Buddha to go down and bury him with you..."

…

On the way back, Mo Hua sat in the carriage without saying a word, frowning and thinking:

Why did Fire Buddha kill everyone in the Xie family?

After killing everyone in the Xie family, what did he do?

What is the black residue?

Why is there the aura of the Great Wild Evil God on it?

What does this matter have to do with the evil god known as the "Lord of the Wilderness"?

Sacrifice?

Were the Xie family monks used as sacrifices?

Are those sin cultivators of Fire Buddha the servants of the Lord of the Wilderness?

What are the sacrificial rituals?

There was also the "ephemeral" thing that he had seen before, like a poppy flower, black and purple, extremely ugly, yet corrupt, and soaked in depraved desires...

Is it also related to this matter?

The strangest thing is still Dao evil...

Mo Hua originally believed that only in poor places, where monks at the bottom were persecuted and despair and sin hatched, would "evils of the Tao" breed.

But I didn't expect that there would be signs of Taoism near the border of Qianxue Prefecture, a prosperous and prosperous place for practicing Taoism and learning.

And it seems...

No one realizes it at all.

It is a place of practical learning, and no monk can predict the decline of the Tianji Algorithm.

Or is it because he is greedy for fame and fortune, and no monk can see it?

Or has Tianji been deceived?

Just like the sea of ​​fire covered up some of the Fire Buddha's deeds, the evil deeds were also covered up by others?

Mo Hua frowned. The more he thought about it, the more strange he felt. There were more and more mysteries in his mind, and his thoughts became a mess...

After thinking about it for a long time, his head hurt.

This time, the consciousness is really overused...

Mo Hua then let his thoughts go, lying on the soft blanket, looking at the scenery outside the carriage, thinking about nothing.

The mystery will be revealed step by step.

Let’s start by catching the “Fire Buddha”…

He promised the monks of the Xie family who died tragically that he would let the Fire Buddha go down and bury them with them.

Although the monks of the Xie family are all dead, from the physical body to the remaining souls, nothing will be known.

But if you say it, you must do it.

Mo Hua nodded, his eyes firm.

On the other side, Gu Changhuai was also looking at the ink paintings silently.

He had no choice but to bring Mo Hua with him, but unexpectedly, Mo Hua unexpectedly found some clues that even he, the Dao Ting Si Dian Si, could not figure out.

This child...

Is it because he is young and has a childish nature, so his thinking is different from ordinary people?

Or is he smart, thoughtful, and sharp?

or……

It's for other reasons...

Gu Changhuai was filled with doubts.

He realized that he could no longer view Mo Hua as a simple teenage boy.

The same thing happened with Yu'er.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, it is very possible that this child can really see some unknown secrets that ordinary monks cannot see...

In that case...

Gu Changhuai tapped his slender fingers gently on the table. After pondering for a moment, he gradually came up with a plan in his mind...

…

It is getting late and the sun is setting in the west.

When dusk falls, the setting sun is like spilling ink and splashing the sunset glow all over the sky.

The two of them, Mo Hua, finally returned to the Gu family.

Wen Renwan was waiting at the door and felt relieved when he saw that although Mo Hua looked tired, his hands and feet were intact.

Then she blamed Gu Changhuai and said:

"Why so late?"

"I only have two days off for ink painting. I have to go to class tomorrow to practice. What if I miss my homework?"

"You are such an adult, why don't you act appropriately..."

Gu Changhuai looked helpless and sighed.

When he was a child, he stayed at his cousin's house and was often scolded by his cousin.

Now that he is over a hundred years old, it is inevitable to become a golden elixir monk and a Taoist Diansi...

Mo Hua excused him and said, "Aunt Wan, it's my fault. I was playful, so I wasted time..."

Mo Hua looked apologetic.

Wen Renwan patted Mo Hua on the shoulder, "It's not your fault..."

After saying that, she glared at Gu Changhuai again, "Look, Mo Hua is a child who is more sensible than you..."

Gu Changhuai's face turned bitter.

Mo Hua was helpless and gave him a helpless expression.

Aunt Wan only blamed Uncle Gu, and she couldn't help.

Then several people had dinner together.

Wen Renwan cooked a lot of delicious food. Mo Hua and Yu'er ate happily, while Gu Changhuai looked unhappy.

After eating, it was getting late, so Wen Renwan planned to personally send the two children back to Taixu Gate.

Gu Changhuai said: "Sister, I will send it away."

Wen Renwan glanced at Gu Changhuai and said in a slower tone: "Go and have a rest. Daotingsi is busy with affairs, so don't be too tired."

Gu Changhuai was startled, feeling warm in his heart, but he couldn't see it clearly on his face.

Wen Renwan stopped caring about him, hugged Yu'er, and got into the carriage first.

Mo Hua, who had eaten and drank enough, followed contentedly and walked towards the carriage.

"Ink painting."

Gu Changhuai said suddenly.

Mo Hua was a little confused and turned to look at Gu Changhuai.

Gu Changhuai hesitated for a moment, took out a token and handed it to Mo Hua.

The token is made of white jade and is shiny and smooth, but it has no words engraved on it, so I don't know what it is used for.

Mo Hua took the token suspiciously, looked at it briefly, and his heart skipped a beat, "Uncle Gu, this is..."

"Password."

Gu Changhuai looked a little reluctant and said calmly:

"If anything happens in the future, use this jade order to send a message to me..."

"But the token has restrictions. It can't be too far away. If it's not on the same state border, I won't be able to receive the message you sent..."

"When performing official duties, sometimes I can't carry a messenger, and I can't receive what I send..."

"Be careful when using it, don't lose it, don't break it..."

"Although it's only a second-grade messenger, it's not that easy to get, especially this one specially made by the Dao Tingsi. It's very confidential. There's no place to buy it if you have spiritual stones..."

Although Gu Changhuai kept a straight face, he still took care of everything and explained the precautions to Mo Hua "intimately".

"Uh-huh!"

Mo Hua took the jade order and was very happy.

Call for letters!

This is a complete and complete telegraph order with complete functions!

The ink painting has bright eyes.

Gu Changhuai looked at Mo Hua, suddenly feeling a little uneasy.

He suddenly felt that he... shouldn't have given this order to Mo Hua.

And this feeling is very strong.

Like...

You shouldn't feed the little white rabbit to the big bad wolf...

This is his intuition as Daoting Si Diansi.

But it has been given away, and you can’t get it back.

This seems... undignified?

Gu Changhuai frowned.

At this moment, Mo Hua seemed to be aware of Gu Changhuai's thoughts. With a brush of his hand, he pulled out an afterimage and put away the messenger with lightning speed.

Without giving Gu Changhuai time to react or regret, the order of communication had already entered Mo Hua's storage bag!

"Thank you Uncle Gu!"

Mo Hua said happily.

Gu Changhuai was stunned for a moment, but he could only bite the bullet and said, "Just make the mistake." He said with a stiff expression, "You're welcome..."

Wen Renwan in the carriage was a little surprised when he saw this scene.

Her cousin, whom she had watched grow up, was somewhat withdrawn and aloof, and could never say a few words to others.

But he didn't expect that he would have such a "good" relationship with Mo Hua now.

He also took the initiative to give gifts of ink paintings.

The sun really came out in the west.

It seems that my decision was right...

Wen Renwan felt relieved.

Mo Hua carried the messenger, said goodbye to Gu Changhuai, and then boarded the Gu family's carriage, escorted by Wen Renwan, and returned to Taixu Gate with Yu'er.

It was getting late and the night was getting darker.

The carriage drove along the road, with long pitch-black night on both sides, and above the night, there were dots of dim lights.

Quiet and peaceful.

The carriage moved forward with the sound of horse hooves "tick-tock-tock".

Mo Hua spent this day and night running back and forth from the Dao Prison in Luanshan City to the ruins of Xie's family, without much rest.

As soon as I felt relaxed and Aunt Wan was by my side, I felt sleepy and tired.

Mo Hua's upper and lower eyelids were fighting. After a while, he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

He breathed evenly, and his dark eyelashes reflected on his white cheeks, making him look innocent and cute. Under the light, he looked a bit picturesque and stunning.

Wen Renwan took a look and marveled in his heart.

Mo Hua, this kid is really good-looking.

The breath is pure, the eyebrows are soft, the two temperaments are natural, and there is a beauty as clear as jade.

He is still young at this time, and his face still has a bit of childishness, which makes him look cute.

If he grows up, he will definitely look extremely handsome.

I just don’t know which girl will be cheaper in the future...

Wen Renwan had a smile on her lips, thinking narrowly in her heart, and then gently covered Mo Hua with a blanket.

When Mo Hua woke up, he had arrived at Taixu Gate.

He said goodbye to Wen Renwan, then took Yu'er's hand and walked into the mountain gate of Taixu Gate.

Yu'er was a little reluctant to let go of her mother. She took three steps and turned back twice, her eyes moist.

Wen Renwan was also very reluctant to leave, but she still waved gently.

At the foot of Taixu Mountain, the cold night wind gradually began to rise.

Wen Renwan stood alone in the night at the foot of the mountain, watching Yu'er being led by Mo Hua into the brightly lit Taixu Gate.

…

The days after returning to the sect were still the same.

Mo Hua practices daily, and his cultivation is slowly increasing.

His formation attainments are also deepening little by little.

When he had free time, he began to think about the messenger that Uncle Gu gave him.

This is the first time he has used this kind of messenger.

Taixu Ling can also pass messages, but it has too many functions and the inner formation is too complex for him to understand.

Unlike the messenger in his hand, it has a simple function and a single structure.

When passing the letter, the ink painting can even sense the appearance of the magnetic ink, the changes of the indefinite magnetic patterns, and the faint induction of secondary thunder patterns.

The formation logic of the Message Order is based on the general beacon fire elemental magnetic formation, but it is more complicated.

In order to understand the application of this formation and to find out about the Fire Buddha, Mo Hua tried to send a message to Gu Changhuai when he had time:

"Uncle Gu."

Gu Changhuai didn't reply.

After a while, Mo Hua sent another message, "Uncle Gu..."

Gu Changhuai still didn't reply.

"The summons is broken?"

"Not received?"

Mo Hua muttered in his heart. He thought about it and continued:

"Uncle Gu?"

"Uncle Gu?"

"Are you there?"

Perhaps unbearable, the other party finally replied:

"Not here."

Mo Hua: "Who answered me when you weren't here?"

Gu Changhuai seemed to be very angry. After a while, he calmed down and asked:

"What's up?"

Mo Hua: "Has that black residue been found?"

"Not yet, not so soon..."

"Where's Hwarang-kun's messenger order? Is there any information on it?"

"without……"

Gu Changhuai was mid-sent when he was suddenly startled, "How did you know that that was a messenger?"

Mo Hua: "I can tell it at a glance!"

After Hwarang-jun died in the prison that day, Uncle Gu searched Hwarang-jun's storage bag.

Mo Hua kept staring at him, and when he saw a strange look on his face when he turned over a jade slip, he guessed that there must be something wrong with that jade slip.

Mo Hua suspected that it was a messenger order.

He was not sure at first, but looking at Uncle Gu's tone now, he was definitely sure.

Gu Changhuai was a little depressed:

"Can you come up with a better excuse?"

You can tell it every day at a glance...

Do you have three eyes?

The ink painting said: "These are all trivial matters, don't worry about it."

Then Mo Hua quickly changed the topic: "Uncle Gu, are there any clues in the messenger order?"

"I can't tell you this."

"No..."

Gu Changhuai was helpless: "Why are you so sure it's gone?"

"I guessed it, but it's definitely not the case. The message above must have been erased..."

This ink painting has experience.

If it wasn't Hwarang-kun who wiped it out by himself, it might have been wiped out by Dojeongsi's "ghost".

But it was definitely erased.

He has a messenger in his hand with the message erased.

It was obtained from the "vulture" who was obviously bald, but wore a wig and had a four-elephant eagle claw pattern tattooed on his head.

Mo Hua has always wanted to restore the erased words on this order.

But now, he has not come into contact with many metamagnetic arrays and his level is limited. He can only "unblock" or "decrypt" by chance.

It is still not possible to "restore" the magnetic pattern and restore the text.

The principle of "reduction" will be much more complicated.

Mo Hua hasn't figured it out yet.

Gu Changhuai, who was working in the Daoting Division, sighed.

He looked around, and felt in a daze that Mo Hua seemed to be beside him, installing some kind of surveillance array, and that his every move was being watched by him...

Either this guy is good at calculating and predicting things like a god...

Gu Changhuai shook his head and sighed:

"Yes, it was erased..."

Mo Hua immediately asked: "Can it be restored?"

"Hard to say."

It's hard to say, not hard to restore...

Does this mean that Daotingsi can "restore" the order of communication?

Is there at least a way to restore the summons?

"How to restore this?" Mo Hua asked humbly.

Gu Changhuai was alert: "Why are you asking this?"

The ink painting uses magnetic ink to reveal a "smiling face": "I am curious..."

Gu Changhuai: "I am not a formation master."

It means that he doesn't know how to "restore" it specifically.

Mo Hua felt a little regretful and asked: "Then who will you give the order to 'restore'?"

Before Gu Changhuai could answer, Mo Hua suddenly remembered:

"Tianshu Pavilion?"

Gu Changhuai was startled.

Mo Hua: "Really?"

Gu Changhuai: "How did you know?"

Mo Hua thought for a while and replied: "I learned in the sect that the Yuan Magnetic Formation is a secret formation that ordinary formation masters cannot learn."

"Even if the array masters hired by Daotingsi know the basic magnetic array, there is a high probability that they will not be able to restore the magnetic patterns."

"Because 'restoring' the messenger order involves complicated formations..."

I haven’t learned it yet…

Mo Hua muttered in his heart, and then continued to send messages:

"The formation master hired from outside Tianshu Pavilion cannot 'restore' it, so we can only find Tianshu Pavilion, which is the center of Daoting."

"Tianshu Pavilion is affiliated to the Central Taoist Court and is responsible for determining the quality of formation masters. With extensive knowledge of formations and countless great formation masters, there must be someone who can 'restore' the order..."

The ink paintings are well-founded and eloquent.

Gu Changhuai's face was expressionless.

He didn't want to admit that everything he did was "guessed" by Mo Hua.

But the fact is that Mo Hua's guess is correct.

He really looks like a "little magic stick"...

Gu Changhuai: "That's right..."

Mo Hua asked curiously: "Can it really be 'restored'?"

Gu Changhuai: "It's hard to say."

Mo Hua drew a "speechless little face".

Gu Changhuai was helpless, sighed and explained:

"'Restoring' the messenger order is very troublesome. It must be handed over to Tianshu Pavilion..."

"There is an old friend of mine in the Tianshu Pavilion of the Central Taoist Court, so I entrusted him with the order..."

Mo Hua was surprised: "Uncle Gu, do you still have old friends?"

He has such a bad temper and is not very popular, yet he actually has an old friend...

Gu Changhuai was furious and asked: "Do you still want to know?"

"oh oh."

Mo Hua quickly calmed down.

Gu Changhuai collected his thoughts and continued: "I will hand over the order of Huarangjun to Tianshu Pavilion and ask someone to 'restore' it..."

“But this process takes a long time, is expensive, and the application procedures are cumbersome…”

"The Yuan Magnetic Formation is relatively unsophisticated, and not all formation masters can master it."

"And the formation masters who can really 'restore' the messenger order are all prominent great formation masters. They all have distinguished status, and their time is limited. They may not be free to 'restore' a second-grade case for Daotingsi." Such a small messenger..."

"What's more, Dao Tingsi is a subordinate of Dao Ting. In terms of status and authority, even a fifth-grade Dao Tingsi is far less noble than Tianshu Pavilion, one of the Seven Star Pavilions..."

"Whether they are willing to help or not depends not only on their time, but also on their mood, and on their faces..."

Gu Changhuai said displeasedly: "The formation master is so arrogant..."

Mo Hua said: "I am also a formation master, I don't have much airs!"

Gu Changhuai was a little disdainful: "You are not even a second-grade formation master, are you?"

"I already have the strength of the second grade, but I haven't decided yet."

"Oh." Gu Changhuai said perfunctorily: "That's what every formation master who can't determine the grade says."

Mo Hua snorted coldly and decided not to explain to Uncle Gu, an "array illiterate".

Mo Hua said: "If... Tianshu Pavilion is not willing to 'restore' this communication order, you can give me a try..."

Gu Changhuai was stunned for a long time and did not reply.

After an unknown amount of time, I replied with one word:

"you?"

Mo Hua felt a strong sense of doubt.

He was a little unconvinced.

Don't bully young people into poverty.

Although he doesn't know it yet, he has already learned how to unblock and decrypt it, and it will only be a matter of time before he further "restores" the magnetic patterns.

Just wait for yourself and then study it.

Mo Hua snorted coldly.

When he really learns to "restore" magnetic patterns, Uncle Gu will probably look at his "face".

He is Tonji, and he handles cases every day. Sooner or later, he will encounter the situation of restoring the summons, and when the time comes, he will definitely come to ask himself...

Thinking of Uncle Gu begging for him, Mo Hua felt a little proud.

But I don’t know how to do it now, so I still have to keep a low profile.

Mo Hua: "I'm learning..."

Gu Changhuai didn't know what to say, so he replied perfunctorily:

"Okay, let's wait until you learn how to do it..."

"I have something else to do, please don't disturb me."

After Gu Changhuai finished speaking, he added two more sentences:

"Contact me if you have anything urgent!"

"This messenger is not for you to chat with!"

After that, there was no news from Gu Changhuai.

Mo Hua was confused.

What I'm talking about is serious business...

At most, it's just that I talk a little too much...

Is there anything more serious than the clues to capture the Fire Buddha?

If we don’t talk about this, what else can we talk about?

Mo Hua shook his head.

Uncle Gu really can't speak. No wonder he is so unpopular and no one wants to play with him.

I just have a good heart and don't care about his bad temper...

However, even if you don’t care about it, it cannot be underestimated.

Mo Hua decided to put everything else aside and learn the ability to "restore" the message order first.

If you don’t steam the steamed buns, you’ll lose your breath.

Then give Uncle Gu some "color" to see.

Moreover, Uncle Gu also said that this kind of "reduction" of magnetic patterns can only be achieved by the "Grand Formation Master" of Tianshu Pavilion.

Only great formation masters can!

Then you must learn it yourself! I hope to become a "Grand Formation Master" in the future!

Mo Hua nodded, and then rummaged through the merit casket and some metamagnetic formation books, and began to ponder the principle of "restoration" of magnetic patterns in the messenger order.

He wants to go one step further on the basis of "unsealing" and "decrypting", deepening his understanding of metamagnetic arrays, and mastering deeper array applications...
