Chapter 617 Gu Changhuai
"Three days ago, outside the boundaries of Qianxue Prefecture, south of Canglang Mountain, on Luopan Mountain Road, three family disciples died and their storage bags were stolen..."
"Dao Tingsi inquired and went to investigate..."
"These three disciples were all in the foundation realm. After gathering to discuss the Tao, they returned to the sect along the Luopan Mountain Road. Passing by Canglang Mountain, they were unknowingly approached behind them and stabbed through the chest one by one with a dagger spirit weapon that was quenched with water poison. And die.
"And the three of them died without any notice..."
"The monks who went up and down the mountain did not see any suspicious monks passing by..."
"I don't know who the murderer is..."
There is a line of remarks at the back:
"The murderous monk must be cunning, very agile, and extremely proficient in concealment..."
"Those who accept this reward must be careful!"
coming!
Mo Hua was refreshed.
Stealth!
But there is some discrepancy with what I thought...
He thought that concealment was used to steal things, but he didn't expect that someone would use concealment to kill people secretly, and the method was quite cruel.
Mo Hua immediately used Taixu Order and sent a nonsense message to Murong Caiyun:
"Sister, are you here?"
After a while, Murong Caiyun helplessly replied:
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"Senior sister, are you free? Do you want to take on a mission?"
Before Murong Caiyun could answer, Mo Hua hurriedly said: "I found a good task, do you want to take it? If you take it, can you take me with you?"
"My authority is too low. I am not allowed to take on many tasks."
Murong Caiyun hesitated for a moment and wrote:
"What mission?"
Mo Hua immediately sent the entry for "A Strange Robbery and Murder Case".
Murong Caiyun looked at it for a long time, but still didn't understand what was so "good" about this "good mission"...
Robbery and murder.
The three people died in a mysterious manner. No one knew who the assailant monk was, what he looked like, what kind of skills he had, whether he had any accomplices, whether he had a criminal record, or what kind of realm he cultivated.
It is only speculated based on the situation that this person is extremely proficient in the art of concealment.
But this is just speculation.
Other than that, there are no clues.
Even just looking for someone will take a lot of time, not to mention tracking and arresting the person later. It will probably take a lot of time, but it will still be in vain.
Murong Caiyun wanted to politely refuse, but at this moment, he saw a series of ink paintings in Taixu Order: "Senior Sister, Senior Sister, Senior Sister, please take it..."
She seemed to see Mo Hua looking at her expectantly with a pair of watery eyes.
Murong Caiyun couldn't bear to refuse.
Even thinking about how disappointed her junior brother Mo Hua was after the rejection, she felt inexplicably guilty...
Murong Caiyun sighed.
That’s all, just take it.
It doesn't matter if you can't finish it, but the two days of ten-day rest are wasted. It's not like there was no bamboo basket to draw water in the past.
Murong Caiyun then agreed: "Okay..."
Mo Hua was very happy, "Thank you, senior sister!"
Senior Sister Murong is indeed a good person!
Sure enough, Murong Caiyun accepted the reward for "hidden robbery" and then invited Mo Hua.
Mo Hua couldn't wait to "agree".
In this way, the investigation of the "hidden robbery and murder case" was finalized.
Mo Hua's spiritual consciousness exited Taixu Order, only to find Cheng Mo and the others staring at him.
"What's wrong?"
Mo Hua looked confused.
"You..." Situ Jian asked curiously, "What are you looking at in the Taixu Order?"
Mo Hua blinked.
Permissions, rewards, merits, these things are the backdoors Mr. Xun opened for himself.
It's not good to tell.
Moreover, it is too early for them to "offer bounties, pursue criminal cultivators, and hunt down evildoers"...
They were raised in the family and were "inexperienced in the world" and could not bear this kind of risk.
He is different, he is a "little senior brother".
You can do this kind of dangerous thing yourself.
Mo Hua nodded with a "sense of responsibility" and then made an excuse:
"I'm looking at the class schedule to see what classes I'll be attending later and what spells I need to learn..."
The other disciples all stared at the ink paintings suspiciously.
That expression seems to be saying, I believe you are the only one who has ghosts...
Seeing that they didn't believe it, Mo Hua had no choice but to say:
"Okay, I was just thinking about how much homework I should give you during the formation class..."
This time the crowd suddenly became angry.
No one doesn't believe it.
"Ink painting!"
"Can we still be friends?"
"I advise you to take care of yourself..."
"I decide the level of my formation. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"
"Don't miss the friendship between the same disciples!"
"Array Idiot" Cheng Mo was about to cry, "Brother, please, it's almost done. I can't finish so much homework..."
Mo Hua showed a reluctant expression and sighed:
"In that case, forget it."
Cheng Mo immediately smiled, put his arm around Mo Hua's shoulders, and said loudly: "Okay! From now on, you are my brother, my brother!"
…
Two days later, it’s ten days off.
To be on the safe side, Mo Hua took another day off. In total, there were three days in total.
After the class, Mo Hua left the mountain gate of Taixu Gate and met everyone at the old place, the big rock at the foot of Taixu Gate.
This time there were still five people.
Murong Caiyun, Ouyang Feng, Hua Qianqian, and Shangguan Xu are all there.
Shangguan Xu has recovered from his injuries and can fight with others.
Although the Shangguan family is a large family, it also has many disciples. Shangguan Xu is a direct descendant, but not a core direct descendant, so merits and achievements have to be earned by one's own efforts.
Hua Qianqian is the daughter of a true elder of Baihua Valley. She is very favored and will definitely enter the inner gate of Baihua Valley and receive the true teachings of Baihua Valley in the future.
But she doesn't want others to gossip. She wants to earn merits by herself and be promoted to a true disciple of the inner gate of Baihua Valley.
These are what Mo Hua learned from Senior Sister Murong, and then combined with the cases of disciples around him, he figured it out by himself.
It is estimated to be more or less the same.
Anyway, in Ganxuezhou, there are so many disciples of the sects, who doesn't want to earn merits.
Shangguan Xu and Mo Hua are more familiar with each other, and nodded and smiled.
Hua Qianqian also smiled and greeted Mo Hua with a smile.
But Mo Hua always felt that the look in the eyes of this Senior Sister Hua when looking at him had a little "evil intention".
I don't know what she was thinking in her heart.
Seeing Mo Hua looking at her, Hua Qianqian's eyes were even more bright and shining, revealing a strange brilliance.
Mo Hua felt a little dangerous, so he immediately moved closer to Senior Sister Murong.
Murong Caiyun looked helpless.
After everyone gathered, they began to head to the vicinity of Canglang Mountain.
Canglang Mountain is not far from Ganxuezhou, and the fifth-grade Dao Tingsi, which is in charge of Ganxuezhou, is on the way to Canglang Mountain.
Several people still have to go to Dao Tingsi first to confirm their identities, accept the reward, and ask for clues about the deceased.
The sound of horse hooves ticked, and after more than an hour, they arrived at Dao Tingsi.
Mo Hua got off the car and looked up. What he saw was an extremely magnificent and majestic Tingsi Pavilion, with a towering attic, flying eaves and golden wings, dignified and solemn.
It was like a seal that guarded the mountain, falling in the mountains, guarding the entire Ganxuezhou.
There are seven big characters on it: Ganxuezhoujie Daotingsi.
This is Ganxuezhoujie, the fifth-grade Daotingsi...
Mo Hua was shocked.
In front of such a grand and solemn Daotingsi, Mo Hua felt like a small sapling at the foot of a mountain, weak and vulnerable.
Ouyang Feng patted Mo Hua's shoulder and said softly:
"This majesty is a bit of bluffing. You will know it after you come a few more times..."
Mo Hua was startled, looked up and looked again, and suddenly said:
"Formation?"
Ouyang Feng was a little surprised, and then smiled:
"Yes, when this Daotingsi attic was built, a formation that increases majesty was integrated, so when others see it for the first time, they will feel insignificant, and they will also feel..."
Ouyang Feng pointed upwards and whispered, "The authority of the Daoting is dignified and inviolable..."
"So that's it..."
Mo Hua nodded.
Knowing the trick, his awe in his heart was reduced a little, and then he followed Murong Caiyun and entered the door, and he was even more disappointed.
From the outside, this Dao Ting Division is indeed majestic.
But from the inside, it is overstaffed, the organization is complicated, and it is gloomy.
Moreover, most of the executive officers and managers have stern faces, and when they speak, they are rigid and have a hint of condescending contempt.
The face is ugly and the words are unpleasant.
If it is a third or fourth grade, it will be fine.
A few small second-grade executive officers also look amazing.
Occasionally, there are Dao Ting Division monks who look capable, sharp-eyed, and have profound cultivation. They are very powerful at first glance, but there are very few, and they seem out of tune with the atmosphere of the entire Dao Ting Division.
Mo Hua wanted to ask something, but thinking that walls have ears, not to mention that it is in the fifth-grade Dao Ting Division, so many great monks may be heard as soon as they open their mouths, so he refrained from asking.
Murong Caiyun took the lead, checked the identity, accepted the reward, and then received several files and completed the formalities.
She was a child of a noble family and a disciple of Taixu Sect. She had a good appearance and talent. The cultivators on the Daoting Division were very polite.
After the trip, she did not receive any cold reception or difficulties.
"It turns out that they treat people differently..."
Mo Hua muttered to himself.
When they were about to leave, they were stopped. A supervisor said, "Wait a minute, Gu Dianshi has something to say..."
Gu Dianshi?
Mo Hua was slightly startled, and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be...
After a while, a person came from a distance. Mo Hua took a look and thought to himself that it was indeed...
The person was handsome, wearing a Taoist robe of the Daoting Division, and was elegant. His attitude was not arrogant, but between his eyebrows, he revealed a bit of arrogance.
It was Gu Changhuai, the son of the Gu family, who had met Mo Hua several times.
Gu Changhuai's voice was cold, calm, and calm, but also revealed a bit of arrogance:
"This matter is very tricky. I don't want you disciples to take it. I notified the Daoting Division and just withdrew the task, but found that you have already taken it..."
"Everything has its rules. If you take it, there is nothing I can do, but there are a few points I want to remind you of..."
Gu Changhuai walked and talked to himself, and even his sharp eyes didn't look at Murong Caiyun and others.
Until the corner of his eye swept Mo Hua...
Gu Changhuai was obviously stunned for a moment.
Mo Hua could even see that Gu Changhuai blinked slightly, as if to confirm whether he had seen the wrong person.
An innocent and well-behaved face, a pair of clear and deep eyes, there is no second one in the entire Ganxuezhou world, he can't make a mistake.
Gu Changhuai was silent for a moment, and slowly said:
"Mo...Hua?"
"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded repeatedly and said politely: "Hello, Uncle Gu."
Murong Caiyun looked a little surprised. The officer beside him obviously didn't expect that Mo Hua actually knew Gu Changhuai.
Gu Changhuai tried his best to control his emotions, but he couldn't help asking Mo Hua:
"What are you doing here?"
Mo Hua pointed at Murong Caiyun, "My senior sister and I are here to receive the reward."
Gu Changhuai frowned, "What reward?"
Mo Hua said, "It's the reward you just mentioned..."
Gu Changhuai's eyelids twitched, looking at Mo Hua, who still had a childish face, and said in confusion: "You are just getting started..."
How can you do tasks when you are just getting started?
You can also find senior brothers and sisters to follow?
This kid...is so proud?
Gu Changhuai didn't understand it.
Mo Hua shook his head and corrected: "It's not that I just got started, I have been getting started for half a year!"
The implication was that he was already very remarkable.
Gu Changhuai looked at it with a headache.
But in front of so many people, he was embarrassed to "reminisce" with Mo Hua again, so he nodded coldly with a serious expression.
"I know."
Gu Changhuai glanced at Mo Hua again and started talking about business:
"The murderer is probably in the middle stage of foundation building. He is proficient in hiding. His methods are calm and cruel. He is extremely secretive and hard to guard against..."
"In the late stage of foundation building, even cultivators who have just entered the late stage of foundation building are very dangerous when encountering such cultivators who are good at "hidden killing".
"When you are caught off guard by the hidden close to you, you can't defend against his killing moves..."
"You are all disciples of the sect and have little experience. It is difficult for you to be the opponent of such a cunning and vicious cultivator."
"And this murderer must be a habitual offender."
"I checked the files. There is a criminal who is good at hiding and killing. There is a person who is most consistent. His real name, Dao Tingsi did not find it, but it is said that the cultivators on the road call him "Hidden Second"..."
Hidden Second...
Ouyang Feng and others were all thoughtful.
Only Mo Hua nodded silently, knowing that his guess was correct.
Gu Changhuai was even more stunned when he saw this.
Could it be that Mo Hua's reaction... had known for a long time that the murderer was this Yin Lao Er?
He had spent a long time looking through the secret files of the Dao Ting driver to find out. How did Mo Hua, a young cultivator living deep in the sect, know this?
This child is very strange...
Gu Changhuai looked at Mo Hua deeply.
Mo Hua noticed Gu Changhuai's gaze and immediately looked at his nose and mouth, pretending to be honest with a serious face.
Gu Changhuai continued:
"This kind of experienced criminal cultivator is also good at hiding. Originally, the third-rank Dianshi should have taken action and killed him with thunderous means..."
"But the Dao Ting Division has limited manpower. They can catch criminal cultivators of the same rank as the cultivators of the same rank."
"It is not the turn of the Jindan to catch the criminal cultivators who have established their foundation."
"But this person is really difficult to deal with, so I want to tell you that if you cancel the mission, there will be no punishment."
Ouyang Feng and the others looked at each other and shook their heads.
They are all favored by heaven, and they are all proud in their hearts.
A sinner in the middle stage of foundation building, no matter how difficult it is, is not enough to make them retreat.
Gu Changhuai showed some praise in his eyes, and handed over a few files:
"This is the file of Yin Laoer, which contains his hometown, skills, Taoism, etc. You should take a close look and be on guard."
Murong Caiyun took the file and bowed:
"Thank you, Gu Dianshi."
Gu Changhuai nodded slightly, turned around and left, but when he left, he glanced at Mo Hua again, and saw that Mo Hua looked relaxed and didn't know the benefits, so he couldn't help frowning.
Yin Laoer is insidious and cunning, and it is difficult to deal with.
Even experienced executives may not be able to see through Yin Laoer's concealment, let alone prevent Yin Laoer's sneak attack.
He didn't know why Mo Hua, this kid, followed him to join in the fun.
Gu Changhuai thought that Mo Hua, this kid, looked cute, but strange and weird, and didn't want to care about him.
But after thinking about it, considering that he saved Yu'er and was cared for by his cousin, Gu Changhuai still sighed slightly and reminded him:
"Be careful..."
Mo Hua was slightly stunned.
The others were even more surprised.
Especially the executive officer of the Daoting Division, he didn't expect that Gu Diansi, who was always cold and didn't want to be approached by strangers, would actually worry about others...
It was really weird...
Mo Hua smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Gu."
Gu Changhuai nodded and turned to leave.
Everything was done, and then everyone set off to arrest Yin Laoer.
According to the file records, Yin Laoer, who lived for more than 200 years, was once a disciple of the Five Hidden Sect, one of the 100 sects in Ganzhou.
But the Five Hidden Sect's inheritance was too unconventional, and it was difficult to accept disciples, so it gradually declined, and eventually became insolvent, sold the mountain gate, and moved out of Ganxuezhou fifty years ago.
It is normal for sects to rise and fall.
But the Five Hidden Sect left, but the Second Hidden Sect stayed, and relied on the unique skills of the Five Hidden Sect to do evil.
This unique skill is a way to hide, called: the Small Five Elements Stealth Technique.
Mo Hua was delighted.
The Small Five Elements...
His spiritual roots are also the Small Five Elements spiritual roots. He felt that this stealth technique was as if it was tailor-made for him.
The calculation of the heavenly secrets was really useful.
Several people left the Daoting Division.
Murong Caiyun and others, remembering Gu Diansi's words, still looked a little solemn.
Mo Hua, however, walked briskly and felt relaxed.
He felt that the Small Five Elements Stealth Technique was already waving to him.
Mo Hua is ordinary in other aspects, except for his strong spiritual awareness.
Therefore, he likes and is best at bullying monks who are good at hiding, sneaking, and sneaking around...
...
At this moment, in the deep mountains of Canglang Mountain.
A figure suddenly appeared in the originally empty forest.
This is a skinny, short, sinister-looking monk with wrinkles.
He looked around and then frowned.
After killing three people, he ran to this deep mountain to avoid the limelight.
This is also what he usually does.
But in the past few days, he always felt a little frightened.
It was as if he was being targeted by some "bad thing" with bad intentions...
Yin Lao Er was puzzled.
For no reason, without leaving any traces, who could target him, and how could he target him?
Yin Lao Er shook his head.
In any case, this is a critical moment, and we must endure it and not make any mistakes.
Those three people were already an oversight.
If anything goes wrong again, Mr. Tu will definitely kill me, dismember me, and sacrifice me to the demon slaves of the Lord God.
Yin Lao Er shuddered.
He liked to disembowel people, but he didn't like to be disemboweled and fed to those half-human, half-demon creatures...
