Chapter 609 Kneel Down

The days in the sect were uneventful, and after eight days, it soon came to the end of the year.

Because Bishan City was a bit far away and it would take a lot of time to get back and forth, so Mo Hua took an extra day off.

With Mr. Xun as the "backstage", the elders of the sect are very easy to talk to.

Therefore, I took this day off smoothly.

Three days in total!

Mo Hua packed his luggage and happily went to find Senior Sister Murong with his storage bag in hand.

This mission was taken over by Murong Caiyun, and Mo Hua followed suit.

Murong Caiyun knew that Mo Hua was accumulating merit and changing the formation diagram, so he said:

"This mission is not difficult, so there are only three people including you, so you can get a little more credit."

Mo Hua smiled and said: "Thank you, senior sister!"

The two of them walked towards Taixu's door together, Mo Hua walking briskly, chatting all the way.

"three people……"

Mo Hua thought for a while and asked, "Senior sister, who else is there?"

Murong Caiyun said: "There is also Senior Brother Feng from Tai'amen."

"Senior Brother Feng..."

Mo Hua nodded.

Senior Brother Feng is gentle and polite, and has profound cultivation. He seems to have a very high status in Tai'amen. He is considered one of the inner disciples of the inner sect, and he is indeed a "big brother".

"Where are Senior Brother Xu and Sister Qianqian?"

"Junior Brother Xu needs to recover from his injuries. The task is not difficult. If he doesn't have many achievements, we won't let him run around."

"As for Qianqian..."

Murong Caiyun paused and said, "She is quite busy, so let's forget it this time..."

"Oh." Mo Hua nodded.

Murong Caiyun sighed slightly.

That girl Qian Qian urged herself every day, saying that she wanted to do tasks with Mo Hua, and even prepared "gifts" for Mo Hua, which were all little girls' skirts, hairpins, rouge and so on.

When it comes to dressing up ink paintings, they look like pink carvings and jade carvings. They must look very good...

Murong Caiyun was afraid that she would do something wrong, so he didn't call her this time.

But Hua Qianqian kept nagging in her ears. She looked at the ink painting, and unknowingly, the handsome appearance of the ink painting wearing a flowery embroidered Taoist robe came to her mind, and she was a little stunned.

"Sister?"

Mo Hua felt a little strange when he saw her lost in thought.

Murong Caiyun came back to her senses, her cheeks were slightly red, and she coughed, "It's getting late, let's go faster..."

"oh……"

Mo Hua's eyes were a little suspicious, but he didn't ask any more questions.

Soon the two met up with Ouyang Feng, who was wearing Tai'a Taoist robes, hired a carriage, and left the border of Qianxue Prefecture. They rushed on the wide mountain road towards Bishan City outside the border of Qianxue Prefecture.

The sound of horse hooves outside the car is loud, but it is quiet and comfortable inside.

Mo Hua was sitting at the window, lying on a soft blanket, looking at the scenery along the way and talking to Murong Caiyun and Ouyang Feng.

"This time I am going to catch a disciple who rebelled against the sect..."

Murong Caiyun said, "This disciple stole inheritance, killed fellow sect members, and defected from the sect more than ten years ago. He was traced for a long time but was not caught..."

"Ten years ago?"

Mo Hua was a little surprised.

Murong Caiyun nodded, "Those who stole were some minor inheritances, and the 'fellow disciple' who was killed was actually just a handyman. This matter did not become a big deal, so there was no commotion."

"And that disciple who rebelled against the sect also kept a low profile. He betrayed the sect and then disappeared without revealing any clues."

"Daotingsi doesn't seem to care much about it..."

"Is it because there is no oil or water?" Mo Hua secretly asked.

Murong Caiyun paused, a little helpless, and gently gouged out the ink painting:

"Firstly, because there are not many clues, and secondly, Daotingsi does... have limited manpower, so this matter has been put on hold for the time being."

"Oh." Mo Hua "understood".

Ouyang Feng continued: "Later, the Xie family's warehouse in Bishan City was stolen. When tracking the thief, the thief was forced to use the method of 'breaking the golden gate', and then he was exposed..."

"The Xie family of Bishan City went to Duanjinmen to ask for an explanation..."

"Duanjinmen checked the list of stolen inheritances. After comparing the two, it was discovered that the thief was the disciple who rebelled against the sect ten years ago."

Mo Hua frowned, "Broken Golden Gate?"

Murong Caiyun said: "He is one of the "twelve-rate" sects in the Qianxue State. He is good at the sword-controlling method of the five elements and gold system..."

Mo Hua nodded.

He seemed to have heard this name mentioned once when Aunt Wan introduced the twelve sects in Qianzhou, but other than that, there shouldn't be any overlap with them.

But when he heard the words "Broken Golden Gate", he vaguely felt that this sect seemed to have some cause and effect with him...

Mo Hua wondered again: "Shouldn't Duanjinmen pursue the traitorous disciples of Duanjinmen?"

"I chased, but I didn't catch up..."

"Didn't catch up?"

Murong Caiyun nodded, "That rebel disciple has very good body skills..."

Ouyang Feng also said: "Yes, the Taoist method he stole from the Yujian Sect included a body method called 'Escape the Golden Technique'. The key is that he learned it very well. None of the disciples of the Duanjin Sect." Catch up with him, the traitor who broke the Golden Gate..."

Ouyang Feng was a little sad.

A disciple with a legitimate inheritance is no match for this traitor who "stealed the inheritance"...

"The Xie family in Bishan City was dissatisfied. They felt that Duanjinmen was 'letting go' and secretly shielding the thief, so they issued another reward to capture the thief."

"But the Xie family in Bishan City is not very powerful, so the reward for their merits is not large."

"Moreover, there is Duanjinmen. They don't want the traitors of their sect to be caught by other sect disciples, let alone give merit to others..."

Mo Hua muttered: "Broken Golden Gate... is so narrow-minded..."

Ouyang Feng laughed, "Indeed, but you should be careful. Don't let the disciples of Duanjinmen hear these words. Small-minded people don't want others to call them 'small-minded'..."

Mo Hua smiled and nodded.

Half a day later, the three of them arrived at Bishan City.

Bishan City, as its name suggests, has thousands of walls and crisscrossing mountains and ridges.

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

However, Bishan City is now closed, and only people are allowed in but not allowed out.

Because the Jinmen traitors stole the Xie family's family warehouse, the Xie family reported to the court.

Daotingsi sealed the city and searched for the traitor all over the city. The momentum was quite high.

Mo Hua asked curiously: "What exactly was stolen from the Xie family?"

Murong Caiyun shook his head, "I don't know, the Xie family didn't tell me, and it's hard for us to inquire..."

"The city was sealed off with such great fanfare and a lot of manpower was used, but the reward for meritorious deeds was pitiful. The Xie family is really stingy..."

Mo Hua said a little unhappy.

He now lacks meritorious service, so he is somewhat "grudgeful" about the Xie family's "stingyness".

And this Xie family feels a bit strange...

Logically speaking, a warehouse theft or a city lockdown and search are considered "big events" anyway. At least the reward issued should be for more meritorious deeds.

Murong Caiyun said: "We use merit to do things, and there is no need to worry about other things."

Ouyang Feng also said: "Finish it early and go back early."

"Okay." Mo Hua nodded.

Their purpose is to assist the Xie family in catching the traitor who broke the Golden Gate.

The Xie family was searching the city, but they said they were "searching the city" and they only sent family disciples to patrol the streets and search everywhere to see if there were any suspicious monks.

To actually search door to door, the Xie family didn't have the courage, let alone the strength.

Even if Bishan City is only a small fairy city, in Qianzhou, it is difficult to guarantee that in any teahouse or tavern, there will be a real person drinking tea or a big monk drinking wine...

Murong Caiyun and the other three also searched for a while, but found nothing, and then they went to search separately.

Mo Hua walked on the streets of Bishan City, secretly releasing his consciousness and peeking around.

He didn't want to pry into people's privacy, but wanted to find out if there was anyone strange.

The monks in Bishan City come from all kinds of religions.

He could clearly detect the qualitative change of Mo Hua's spiritual consciousness in most of the monks. However, out of respect for others, Mo Hua did not peek too closely. He only looked at Zhe Zhi briefly to judge whether he was the traitor.

There are also some whose auras are obscure and profound, and as soon as the divine consciousness of ink painting passes by, they are immediately withdrawn.

These great monks, at least Jindan and above, are not something he can "offend" now.

But there are also some monks who are plainly dressed, but are inexplicably powerful. Even if the ink painting's spiritual consciousness is about to disappear at a touch, they are still perceived by them.

They glanced at Mo Hua like swords, but when they saw that Mo Hua was just a boy in his teens, they were suddenly startled.

Mo Hua saluted respectfully as an apology.

When they saw this, they didn't care and nodded slightly.

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief, but also sighed in his heart:

"The cultivation world is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, especially in Qianzhou, a small fairy city like this, where you can meet so many masters..."

After bumping into "nails" a few times, saluting a few times, and apologizing a few times, I became proficient in ink painting.

Even without peeking through his spiritual consciousness, he could sense which monks were not easy to mess with just by "intuition".

Just take a look and you'll know it in your mind.

As long as you peek into the ink painting with your spiritual consciousness, you will be "aware" of the interest a lot, and you will no longer offend those real people or great monks...

After searching like this for most of a day, Mo Hua relied on his deep spiritual consciousness and subtle perception to search most of Bishan City, but still found nothing.

Then I can only look for some places I haven't searched...

Mo Hua thought for a while and went to a "brothel".

Although it looks like just an ordinary restaurant, Mo Hua can still conclude based on his only one experience in Nanyue City, where he was led by Elder Su and went to Baihua House to drink flower wine:

This is not a restaurant, but a brothel!

There is a restaurant in the front, but there is a vague aura of "not suitable for children" floating in the back.

The Taoist court prohibits dual cultivation, and even more prohibits taking supplements.

In other words, the reason why "double cultivation" is prohibited is mainly to prohibit "taking supplements" and to prevent someone from "making up a clever name" and doing the actual practice of taking supplements in the name of dual cultivation.

Zhang Lan told Mo Hua a long time ago.

Therefore, the Taoist government also strictly controls places like "brothels".

Of course, the Taoist administration is strict and the Taoist laws and regulations are also very strict, but it is hard to say for the local Taoist bureau.

Specific to different fairy cities, the situation is even more complicated.

For example, in Nanyue City, the Lu family relies on the brothel to win over people's hearts, relies on the brothel to earn spiritual stones, relies on the brothel to exploit the mines and repairs, and relies on the brothel to win over the Tao Ting Si.

In this case, many monks in Daotingsi are frequent visitors to brothels themselves, and they are complicit in it, so it is impossible to take care of them.

However, there is an exception in the Qianxue state boundary. Within the entire state boundary, brothels are strictly prohibited.

The border of Qianxue State is a prosperous place for Taoism, where young talented disciples from all over the world gather.

The sect does not want its disciples to indulge in sensuality and pleasure, thereby damaging their foundation, wasting their time, and damaging their Taoist aspirations.

I am even more afraid that some demonic cultivators will use their beauty to seduce and seduce the disciples of the sect, causing them to lose sight of good and evil, indulge in desires, and become self-destructive.

Therefore, not only within the boundaries of Qianxue State, but also within the boundaries of this state, any fireworks are prohibited.

In several states and many fairy cities nearby, brothels are also prohibited.

But food, sex, and love are the greatest desires of human beings, which can be banned but difficult to stop.

So there are restaurants in front and brothels in the back, which is a business of selling dog meat under the guise of sheep.

Mo Hua snorted coldly, thinking that he should criticize such things, and the place of fireworks has always been a place of filth and corruption, and the traitor might be hiding in it, so he went straight into the restaurant.

The waiter of the restaurant was obviously stunned when he saw Mo Hua.

Their restaurant has never had such a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth.

"Young man, what are you doing..."

"I'm eating."

Mo Hua said as a matter of course.

"Oh, that's right, eating... please."

The waiter thought Mo Hua didn't know what was going on, and thought that they were just a restaurant for drinking and eating, so he smiled and enthusiastically led Mo Hua in.

The decoration inside was gorgeous, with a strong smell of rouge.

The waiter led Mo Hua to a table and sat down.

Mo Hua looked at the menu and thought it was expensive. Not only the dishes, but also the snacks and drinks were twice as expensive as those outside.

But in order to "track down the traitor", Mo Hua still reluctantly ordered a table of food and wine.

It happened that they had walked for most of the day and were hungry. Mo Hua's spiritual sense took a peek and found that the food and wine were fine and had not been drugged. So he ate the food and drank while looking around.

The restaurant in front was relatively "clean".

Those who ate ate, and those who drank drank, but there was a stage with pink curtains in the middle, and there were women dancing on the stage.

There were also women around, wearing thin silk and smiling coquettishly to accompany the wine.

Mo Hua ate a big chicken leg, and his spiritual sense was released, taking in everything around him.

After looking for a long time, Mo Hua slowly figured it out...

The women dancing on the top of this restaurant are the "menu".

After the dance, the diners below would "order" whichever woman they liked.

The dancing women would come down to accompany the drinking if there were diners ordering.

When accompanying the drinking, the men and women would whisper to each other, most likely discussing the "meal money".

After the negotiation, they would go to the back to "eat".

After the meal, they would "pay the bill".

The pure Mo Hua was shocked.

These monks have so many messy tricks!

This little thought, instead of spending it on the right path, was all used to design the "wine as a matchmaker" business...

The wine and food were so expensive!

Mo Hua was very angry.

He looked at the middle of the dancing women, and suddenly he was startled again, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He found that in the corner of the stage, there was a dancing woman, with a plain appearance and a slender waist, but every move looked very problematic...

Mo Hua's spiritual sense swept through, and he thought to himself, as expected.

This woman is a man!

Moreover, his heart moved slightly, and he was suddenly very sure that this person was the traitor of Duanjinmen, and the person who was wanted for the bounty this time!

In the place of fireworks, a man dressed as a woman.

Mo Hua snorted.

It is immoral!

He immediately used the Taixu Order to send a message to Senior Sister Murong:

"Senior Sister, I found the traitor!"

The Taixu Order can be used to send messages, only to fellow disciples.

This was taught to him by Senior Sister Murong later. Mo Hua didn't know how to play it at first, so he didn't use it much.

However, in an instant, Murong Caiyun replied:

"Where are you?"

Mo Hua: "Brothel..."

Murong Caiyun: "..."

The other side was silent for a long time, and seemed to be unable to figure out how Mo Hua found the brothel while searching, but after more than ten breaths, there was still a reply:

"Where is the brothel?"

Mo Hua sent the name of the restaurant.

Murong Caiyun said:

"I know, I'll go over right away, you protect yourself."

"Yeah."

Mo Hua nodded, but he felt a little strange.

This sentence "protect yourself" is a little strange...

What do I need to protect...

About two incense sticks of time later, Ouyang Feng and Murong Caiyun arrived at the door of the restaurant.

The waiter was also surprised. Hearing that they were looking for his junior brother, he hesitated for a long time before letting the two in, but he couldn't help but be wary and kept his eyes on them.

The three of them spoke in a low voice.

"Junior brother, why are you here?"

Mo Hua waved his hand, "This is not the point."

He pointed to the "woman" who was still dancing on the stage, dressed as a woman, with a thin waist and heavy makeup:

"This is very likely the traitor."

Mo Hua was almost certain, but he was still a little modest and didn't say it absolutely.

Murong Caiyun and Ouyang Feng were both a little surprised. They frowned and stared at the "woman" for a long time, their eyes were slightly sharp.

"Dressing up as a woman and dancing here is a good way to hide from others..."

"I'm afraid it's not just for 'hiding from others'..."

Maybe there is a "side job".

Even if he is a traitorous disciple or a wanted criminal, he still has to make a living...

"What should we do?"

"Do it directly?"

"Will it alert the enemy?"

Ouyang Feng and Murong Caiyun discussed.

Mo Hua said: "I'll 'point' him over."

Murong Caiyun and the others were stunned, "Point?"

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded, "We can point him over to accompany the drinking, and then we can seize the opportunity to catch him!"

This time Murong Caiyun finally couldn't help it, "Junior brother, you... come here often?"

Why do you look like a regular customer...

Mo Hua said with a straight face, "I am a serious monk! I will never come to a place like this! Unless I have to..."

Murong Caiyun glanced at Mo Hua suspiciously.

"It's about getting the job done!"

Mo Hua added.

Ouyang Feng smiled bitterly and said, "It's important to catch the traitor."

"Senior Brother Feng is right!" Mo Hua nodded, waved, called the waiter, pointed to the stage, and nodded to the monk dressed as a woman:

"I want 'her' to come drink with me!"

The waiter was startled and looked at the ink painting with admiration. Then he went up and called the "woman" down.

The "woman" knew that she was "named" and looked a little stunned.

The waiter pointed at Mo Hua and the others. The "woman's" eyes narrowed slightly, then she lowered her head and walked towards this side meekly, but her pace became slower and slower.

Mo Hua said: "He is going to run away..."

Ouyang Feng immediately dodged, rushed forward, stretched out his big hand, and wanted to catch the "woman".

But the "woman" had already expected it, and she quickly retreated with fierce movement and a faint golden light.

Ouyang Feng missed him and continued to move forward, but was stopped by a strange man.

The man looked frivolous and said with a smile:

"Fellow Taoist, I see that you are also a talented person. Why are you so ignorant of compassion..."

Ouyang Feng was impatient and kicked him away without waiting for him to finish, and then continued to chase the "woman".

The "woman" was running in front. She was no longer pretentious. Judging by her movements, she was indeed a man, and her movement skills were indeed excellent.

Murong Caiyun used five-color spiritual light to delay the "woman's" actions.

Mo Hua raised his hand halfway, then stopped. With a slight thought, he changed the Water Prison Technique to the Fire Ball Technique.

And without regard to accuracy, he fired fireballs one after another at the "woman".

This fireball technique is very casual.

Most of the fireballs were dodged by the "woman", and then they hit the restaurant. They were filled with fire and exploded, making a mess.

There is no place for this kind of fireworks that sells dog meat over sheep's heads...

Mo Hua made up his mind and didn't hold back. He quickly destroyed a large area of ​​the nice restaurant with his fireball technique.

The pink curtain burned, the table collapsed, and screams of men and women came from behind the restaurant.

The owner of the restaurant turned pale.

He is engaged in a shady business. He runs a brothel near the border of Qianxue State. Once exposed to the light, he will be in bad luck.

But he didn't dare to take action.

Because Ouyang Feng and Murong Caiyun were already dead at first sight and had extraordinary origins, he might not be able to offend them.

The "restaurant" was noisy and chaotic.

The "woman" also took the opportunity to escape and ran north along the street.

Ouyang Feng chased after him.

"Chase!" Murong Caiyun said decisively.

"good!"

Mo Hua nodded and "escaped" a small order.

The noise outside also attracted many cultivators, both from the Xie family and from the Dao Tingsi.

When the monks from Daotingsi saw a bunch of disheveled men and women in the restaurant, they knew without thinking what kind of wine this "restaurant" sold.

In broad daylight, they have to check if they don't want to.

And the Xie family also knew that the "woman" who was on the run was the traitor of Duanjinmen, and she was also the person the Xie family was looking for.

So both sides started chasing the traitor who was disguised as a woman.

But this traitor, transformed into golden light, is fast and fierce, making it extremely difficult to catch up.

After chasing for a few streets, he suddenly disappeared.

The Xie family monk was furious and cursed angrily.

Ouyang Feng and Murong Caiyun also frowned, but Mo Hua's eyes were bright.

He saw everything.

The traitor turned to the corner of the street and hid in a dark alley. In just a few breaths, he changed his clothes and had another face, pretending to be an ordinary, unremarkable male monk.

"Is this...disguise?"

Mo Hua's eyes moved slightly, and he became interested. He pointed with his hand and secretly said to Ouyang Feng:

"Senior Brother Feng, that person!"

Ouyang Feng was startled. He wanted to ask how Mo Hua knew, but time was tight and there was no time to ask in detail. And he subconsciously chose to believe Mo Hua's judgment.

Ouyang Feng pretended to be casual and quietly approached the male cultivator.

But the male cultivator had a very keen sense of smell. As soon as he saw Ouyang Feng coming within ten feet of him, he immediately ran away.

Judging from the golden light on his body, he is indeed the traitor!

Ouyang Feng drew his sword and continued to chase.

In this way, the traitor activated his body skills and tried his best to escape. At the same time, he looked for opportunities to disguise himself and try to escape from the hands of Mo Hua and the others.

Mo Hua was not in a hurry to take action, but looked around and manipulated secretly. Unknowingly, he forced the traitor into an uninhabited mountain forest to the east of Bishan City.

He couldn't be caught in the city, otherwise he would fall into the hands of the Xie family and he wouldn't be able to find out the information.

Everything is as expected in the ink painting.

There was no one else around.

The traitor was also blocked by the three of them.

The traitor was now dressed as a big man, panting and looking at the three people, saying in disbelief:

"How on earth did you...recognize me?"

Mo Hua smiled and said, "Guess."

The big man's face twitched, his eyes full of anger, and then he sneered:

"Even if you can recognize me, so what? In front of my golden body technique, which I have worked hard for for ten years, everything is in vain. Want to catch me? Wishful thinking!"

The big man showed disdain, made a sound of "Puh", and pushed his body skills to the extreme. Golden light penetrated into his legs, and his feet were full of wind. He wanted to escape again in a blink of an eye.

Mo Hua lightly tapped his finger, and the water prison technique came down instantly.

The arrogant big man was locked up by the water prison technique in an instant, and fell flat on the ground.

Mo Hua shook his head, "I said you were fat, but you were panting..."

This little trick, you still want to show off in front of me...

Ouyang Feng walked forward, and the big man wanted to struggle, but was chopped on the shoulder by Ouyang Feng with a sword, and kicked to the ground.

He was just good at body skills, and in terms of real cultivation, he was no match for Ouyang Feng.

Ouyang Feng took the big man's storage bag and tied him up tightly with the second-grade spirit lock of Dao Tingsi.

Murong Caiyun glanced at Mo Hua, his eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help asking:

"Junior Brother Mo, you tricked him here, what do you want to ask him?"

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded, "There's no one here, it's convenient to ask something."

Murong Caiyun thought for a while, nodded:

"Okay, then ask."

The mission is over once the person is caught.

Before that, it doesn't matter if Mo Hua asks something.

Mo Hua said to the "big man":

"I'll ask you a few questions, tell me honestly!"

The big man ate dirt in his mouth, "Puh" a few times, and sneered:

"Little ghost, you're dreaming!"

Ouyang Feng shook his head, "This guy's mouth is pretty hard, I'm afraid it can't be pried open."

Mo Hua asked: "Can torture be used?"

Ouyang Feng paused, "Torture..." He turned his head and looked at Murong Caiyun, with a complicated expression, as if saying, "Do all the junior brothers of your Taixu Sect do things like this..."

If you don't agree with something, you want to torture.

Murong Caiyun said helplessly: "Don't go too far... at least..."

Murong Caiyun thought for a long time and said helplessly: "Don't be too obvious..."

If Daotingsi or the Xie family knew that they had used private punishment and asked questions, it would be difficult to explain.

"Don't worry!" Mo Hua said with a smile, "I'm ready!"

"Ready... ready?"

Mo Hua nodded, "Yeah!"

Considering that he would face this situation, he had already prepared.

Mo Hua took out a piece of iron plate from the storage bag, which was covered with densely packed formations that looked "painful".

Ouyang Feng and the others couldn't help but twitch their eyelids.

Mo Hua put the iron plate on the ground and said to the big man:

"Kneel down!"
