Chapter 424: Xianchen

Bai Zixi said directly: "You are not allowed to go.

Mo Hua muttered in a low voice: "I didn't say I wanted to go either..."

Bai Zisheng frowned, "But if we don't go, how can we check on the gray-clothed monk?"

"Right……"

Mo Hua looked at Bai Zixi, and Bai Zisheng also looked at her.

Bai Zixi's autumn eyes flashed slightly, "It's okay to go, but I want to go together."

Bai Zisheng shook his head quickly.

Mo Hua also said: "Little senior sister, it's not appropriate for you to go."

Bai Zixi said: "You can go, and so can I. Anyway, we can go in invisible."

"this……"

Mo Hua was a little hesitant. Just when he was about to say something, he met Bai Zixi's glassy eyes and could only sigh:

"Fine……"

So it was evening, Hai hour.

As night falls and the lanterns are hung, Jinhua Street is bustling with traffic and bustling.

Mo Hua and the others wrapped themselves in cloaks and climbed to the opposite side of Baihua Tower.

Baihua Tower is a brothel, and it is also the place where Wang Lai confessed that after killing people and hiding corpses, he met the monks in gray clothes.

Baihualou is gorgeously decorated.

There are flowers in front of the door, but no one is waiting outside.

But everyone who comes to this place knows why they come.

Bai Zisheng asked Mo Hua quietly: "How do we get in?"

Mo Hua let go of his spiritual consciousness, peered for a while, frowned and said:

"A brothel actually created a Chenchen Formation..."

"Developing array?" Bai Zisheng was slightly startled.

"The Chenchen Formation." Mo Hua corrected.

Bai Zisheng was confused: "Is there any difference?"

"The principles of the formation are different."

Bai Zisheng was a little confused.

Mo Hua then explained: "The manifestation array and the appearance of objects will invalidate the concealment array and concealment techniques within the array range."

"The effect of the developing array is better, but it is an array that is higher than the first-grade nine lines. It requires high spiritual consciousness, is difficult to learn, uses special ink, and is expensive to set up."

"The Demonic Dust Formation is an earth-based formation, with seven lines per rank. It is easy to arrange and the cost is low."

"Unlike the Appearance Array, the Appearance Array does not invalidate the concealment. Instead, it generates fine dust inside the formation. Once the concealed monk passes through the formation, it will be stained with dust and traces will appear."

"The developing array makes concealment ineffective in principle;"

"The Chenchen Appearance Formation indirectly makes the monks appear through external objects."

Bai Zisheng was a little surprised, "You researched it so carefully?"

"Yes." Mo Hua nodded proudly, "The art of formation is broad and profound, so naturally it needs to be studied more carefully."

Bai Zisheng opened his mouth and asked again:

"Isn't it not good for a brothel to open a shop to welcome customers and use dust-revealing arrays to make the guests covered in dust?"

"Hmm..." Mo Hua carefully observed the formation again and said:

"This dust is a cheap spice. Ordinary monks who don't understand the formation will only think that they are stained with powder and will not realize that this is the effect of the formation."

"Furthermore, the effect of the dust manifesting array is limited. This kind of dust will only last for one cup of tea and will gradually disappear..."

"A cup of tea..." Bai Zisheng frowned, "Is that to prevent someone from hiding in the brothel and peeping?"

"It should be..." Mo Hua then became a little confused again, "Who would go to a brothel to peek..."

Bai Zisheng looked at the ink painting, looked at Bai Zixi, then looked down at himself, and said weakly:

"The three of us just want to go in and take a peek..."

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, frowned in thought, and then said seriously:

"We are going to look for clues. It's business, not voyeurism."

Bai Zisheng nodded, "That makes sense!"

Bai Zixi looked at the two people with helpless eyes.

"Since there is a dust formation, how do we get in?"

Bai Zisheng asked again.

Mo Hua also had some difficulties, "I can figure out the formation, but it's a bit difficult not to attract attention..."

"What about now, do you want to go back first?"

Mo Hua thought for a while, nodded and said:

"Let's go back first. There is a foundation in the brothel. We have been watching here for a long time, and he will probably notice it."

I'm not afraid of this ink painting.

Normal foundation building can't reveal his concealment.

But it’s hard to tell the younger senior brother and younger sister.

The three of them secretly left again.

Bai Zisheng muttered on the way: "A brothel, and it also has a foundation to guard..."

If it weren't for the foundation building, it would be much easier for them to do things.

He didn't take ordinary Qi refining monks seriously.

Mo Hua said: "This shows that the more people who make trouble in the brothel, the more spiritual stones they earn."

Bai Zisheng thought for a while and nodded.

Mo Hua sighed slightly as he thought about working hard in the mines and cultivating one spiritual stone a day.

The more informal the business, the more spiritual stones you can earn...

…

Gray-clothed monks appear in Baihua Tower.

Mo Hua wanted to go into Baihua Building to have a look, but he was in a hurry and couldn't think of any good solution.

There are too many people in Baihua Building, so it's not easy to sneak in secretly.

The most important problem is the dust formation.

The Chen Chen Formation is easy to deal with, but it is not easy to deal with it unconsciously.

And in addition to the dust display array at the door, there are probably some tiny dust display arrays in Baihua Building, door and window corridors, and on the beams in front of the house to prevent people from peeping.

Mo Hua was a little dissatisfied.

There must be some monks who use stealth to do bad things.

As a result, he now wants to use the stealth technique to do something serious and catch a bad guy, but he is also on guard.

In order to guard against villains, even gentlemen are on guard...

After a few days, there was no progress.

Mo Hua thought about asking for clues from other cultivators.

The best candidate was Elder Su.

He was a first-class formation master and a foundation-building elder of Nanyue Sect. He must have a wide network of contacts and be well-informed.

But Mo Hua was not sure whether Elder Su had anything to do with this matter, so he asked in a rather obscure way and was very cautious in the conversation.

"Elder Su, what's fun in Jinhua Street?"

Elder Su was not surprised.

Although Mo Hua was a first-class formation master, he was still young and had a child's nature. It was normal for him to be a little playful when he went to different places.

Elder Su then told Mo Hua about it.

Jinhua Street was the most prosperous place in the entire Nanyue City.

What festivals, what scenery, what food in which place...

Which restaurant cooked which dish well, which restaurant had which wine was the best, which tea in which teahouse had the most mellow...

After talking too much, Elder Su could not help but go off topic.

For example, which table in which gambling house is the easiest to win, and which female cultivator in which building is the most...

Elder Su stopped talking here.

"What's the best?" Mo Hua asked.

Elder Su was sweating profusely and said awkwardly: "Not suitable for children, not suitable for children..."

Mo Hua asked suspiciously: "Elder Su, are you familiar with this kind of thing..."

Elder Su was shocked, "No, no, I didn't... Don't slander my innocence!"

"Oh..." Mo Hua obviously didn't believe it.

Elder Su smiled awkwardly again.

Mo Hua wanted to find out more, but saw the disciple came over and whispered something to Elder Su.

Elder Su looked embarrassed.

Mo Hua then said tactfully, "Elder Su, you are busy. I will take my leave first."

Elder Su also quickly stood up and returned the greeting, "I am really sorry for having a guest. I will prepare a banquet one day to apologize to the young master."

Mo Hua waved his hand, "You are too polite, elder."

He was a little curious about what kind of banquet Elder Su could prepare. He wondered if there was anything delicious.

Elder Su sent Mo Hua out. As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, a monk in brocade clothes came towards him. He was of middle age, handsome, and gentle.

Mo Hua was a little surprised, "Master Lu?"

The man was the master of the Lu family who had met Mo Hua once.

And the guest that Elder Su was going to entertain should be the master of the Lu family.

Mo Hua had learned from Elder Su that the name of the master of the Lu family was Lu Chengyun.

Lu Chengyun was not surprised to see Mo Hua. He smiled and said in a gentle tone:

"Mr. Mo."

They greeted each other.

Mo Hua exchanged a few simple pleasantries and was about to leave, but was stopped by Lu Chengyun.

"Young Master, can we have some tea together?"

Mo Hua was a little confused, "Don't you have something to discuss with Elder Su?"

Lu Chengyun said, "It's nothing important, just exchanging some thoughts on formations. Young Master is also a formation master, and his attainments in formations are not bad. Why don't we chat together?"

Mo Hua thought about it and agreed.

There must be something wrong with the Lu family's mine.

But he is not familiar with the Lu family.

Maybe there will be some clues after contacting the head of the Lu family.

But Lu Chengyun is the head of the family, so he is naturally very cunning. He talked with Mo Hua for a long time, but he didn't mention the mine and mine repair at all. He really just talked about formations.

And Lu Chengyun's attainments in formations also surprised Mo Hua.

The head of the family is busy with affairs, and may not have the time and energy to study formations, but Lu Chengyun's knowledge of formations is even more profound than Elder Su.

No wonder he is so close to Elder Su.

After talking about formations for a few more words, Lu Chengyun's attitude towards Mo Hua became more friendly, and there was undisguised admiration in his eyes.

Lu Chengyun paused for a moment and suddenly asked:

"Mr. Mo, are you married?"

Mo Hua was drinking tea and choked when he heard this, "Not yet... not yet..."

Lu Chengyun's eyes brightened, "I don't know..."

Mo Hua coughed and said in embarrassment:

"I'm still young, so I won't consider it for now."

Lu Chengyun was not displeased, but showed an expression of understanding, and secretly handed a booklet to Mo Hua.

"This is part of the Lu family genealogy."

Lu Chengyun didn't say the rest, but only gave Mo Hua a meaningful look.

Mo Hua gently opened the genealogy and found that it was recorded that all the people on it were Lu's direct descendants, and they were all women of marriageable age.

Turning to the back, there were portraits of beautiful female cultivators.

Mo Hua was a little helpless.

Lu Chengyun smiled calmly, while Elder Su drank tea silently, pretending that he saw nothing.

After drinking tea and talking about formations, Lu Chengyun got up and left.

Before leaving, Lu Chengyun patted Mo Hua again and said softly:

"Don't worry, take your time."

Mo Hua didn't know what to say.

Lu Chengyun turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned back to Mo Hua and said:

"I have a question, may I ask the young master?"

Mo Hua was slightly startled, nodded and said: "You ask."

"It may be a bit rash."

"It's okay."

Lu Chengyun nodded and asked:

"The young master's aura is obscure, and it is impossible to spy on it with spiritual sense. Could it be... a spiritual weapon that conceals the aura?"

Mo Hua's eyes moved slightly, and then he said sincerely:

"Yes, the master has a good eye!"

Lu Chengyun breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed and said: "Goodbye, I will talk to the young master about the formation when I am free someday."

Mo Hua also bowed and said: "Master Lu, take care."

After Lu Chengyun left, Elder Su also slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said to Mo Hua:

"He is the head of the family, and it is his duty to do this, and it is reasonable, but..."

Elder Su hesitated.

"But what?" Mo Hua asked curiously.

Elder Su thought for a moment and sighed:

"The Lu family has a lot of disputes. It's better not to enter if you can."

Mo Hua nodded.

Elder Su glanced at the ink painting, his eyes slightly condensed, his expression a little complicated, and he asked slowly:

"Mr. Xiao Mo, you came to me for a purpose, right?"

Mo Hua was slightly startled, "How do you know?"

Elder Su said expressionlessly:

"You've been coming to my place these past few days and making insinuations. You probably want to ask something..."

"But this matter is a bit secret and difficult to talk about, so you didn't ask directly, so you found some excuses and rambled on, trying to get some information from me."

Mo Hua was silent.

Elder Su's eyes were slightly cold.

He knew that this little formation master must have something up his sleeve.

Elder Su picked up the tea cup, brushed away the foam, and his eyes were as unpredictable as the tea:

"Mr. Xiao Mo, what exactly do you want to do?"

Now that the matter is over, Mo Hua no longer has to hide it.

He looked serious and said:

"Elder Su, I want to go to a brothel!"

Elder Su spit out a sip of tea.
