Chapter 640 Clues

Are these "spiritual animals" actually people?

Chickens, ducks, cows, horses, sows, cranes, are these all nicknames for different cultivators?

Mo Hua's pupils shrank slightly.

On the letter order, there was an "account".

There were a large number of records in the account.

This means that the Vulture gang...

They are not just simply "trafficking", they are probably secretly doing a large-scale "trafficking" of cultivators.

They are selling people like "spiritual animals"!

Mo Hua's eyes turned cold, Vulture, the big bastard, let him die too cheaply...

Looking at the long list of "spiritual animal accounts" that were restored, Mo Hua frowned slightly, puzzled.

Although Vulture is strong, he is not strong enough to rely on himself to do the current large-scale illegal "trading".

He may be just a small leader.

He is a link in the entire "trafficking chain".

There must be other more sinful cultivators in this trafficking chain.

Moreover, such a large number of monks were being sold, but on the surface, there was nothing to indicate.

This shows that the "Vulture" gang has a long-term and stable criminal process.

There is a deep-rooted interest chain.

There may even be a "black umbrella" behind the scenes...

Behind them, there is also a "great monk" who is covering up the secrets for them...

Mo Hua pondered for a moment, sighed, and silently put the "letter order" into his own ring.

This kind of thing can't be taken care of for the time being...

In the future, when I have strength, connections, or after I have figured out the secrets inside, I will find a way to get to the bottom of this matter.

Before that, this letter order must not be known to anyone.

Otherwise, it will definitely bring disaster upon myself.

As a small monk, I am alone in the world of Ganxuezhou, without anyone to rely on. If I don't know my own strength and rashly intervene in such things, I will be targeted by the "black hand" behind the scenes, and it is likely that I will be in trouble.

Even if Mr. Xun and Aunt Wan wanted to protect themselves, they might not be able to do so...

You can't rely too much on others.

You can't cause them too much trouble.

Mo Hua nodded slightly.

Master warned me that the rafters that stick out will rot first.

As strong as Master is, he was still plotted against and fell into a desperate situation, with no idea of ​​life or death.

I am not as good as Master. If I want to save my life, I must learn to "hide".

"Hide" from cause and effect.

Even if I show my head, I have to put myself in an "inconspicuous" position.

Mo Hua has made up his mind, put away the "letter" from Vulture, and don't think about it for the time being.

The matter at hand is to catch the Fire Buddha first.

...

The next day, the ten-day break.

Mo Hua led Yu'er, escorted by Wenren, and boarded a gorgeous carriage, leaving the beautiful and simple Taixu Gate and heading to the Gu family in Qingzhou City.

Arriving at Gu's house, Yu'er went to report her lessons to Wenren Wan.

The requirements for cultivation for the direct descendants of a family with a strict family tradition are very strict.

Yu'er was disturbed by a nightmare before and was weak, so she had to fall behind in her cultivation.

But now, Yu'er is with Mo Hua, eating well and sleeping well, and she is full of vitality. Naturally, those missed lessons will be made up.

Mo Hua met Wenren Wan, greeted him, exchanged a few words, and then went to find Gu Changhuai.

A child of the Gu family led the way and took Mo Hua to Gu Changhuai's study.

Gu Changhuai's study is very tidy, spotless, exquisite and luxurious.

At first glance, it is the study of a pampered disciple of a famous family.

On the screen next to it, there is also an embroidered colorful peacock, with its neck raised and the screen opened with a proud look, which looks very showy.

It fits Mo Hua's "stereotype" impression of Uncle Gu.

The Gu family disciple who led the way only led Mo Hua to the door, then bowed and left.

Mo Hua stood outside the door and looked into the study, wanting to see what Uncle Gu was doing.

Gu Changhuai knew that Mo Hua was coming, and sighed:

"Come in."

Mo Hua walked in openly.

Gu Changhuai sat in front of the mahogany desk inlaid with gold.

Mo Hua looked around and saw that there was no seat in front of the desk, so he moved a stool from the side, put it in front of the desk, and sat face to face with Gu Changhuai.

Gu Changhuai sighed again.

This kid, he doesn't treat himself as an outsider...

Then Mo Hua talked about business.

"Uncle Gu, is there any clue about the Fire Buddha?"

Although he knew that there was no clue and little progress when he saw Uncle Gu's face, Mo Hua still asked as usual.

Gu Changhuai shook his head, but he obviously didn't want to say more.

"Then..." Mo Hua asked again, "Has Hua Langjun's letter order been restored?"

Gu Changhuai's face was grim, "No, it can't be restored..."

Mo Hua's eyebrows were happy, but he still expressed regret.

Gu Changhuai looked at Mo Hua silently, frowned and said:

"Why do you seem... quite happy..."

"No, no..."

Mo Hua was a little "insincere".

He learned the Yuan magnetic array just to "restore" the magnetic pattern and restore the erased text in the letter order.

If it was restored by others, wouldn't it be a waste of his learning.

Gu Changhuai was a little confused and didn't know what to say.

Mo Hua whispered tentatively:

"Uncle Gu, how about letting me try?"

Gu Changhuai was a little surprised, "What should I give you?"

"Letter order!"

Gu Changhuai looked at Mo Hua suspiciously, "Don't tell me, in the past few days, you have learned to 'restore' the magnetic pattern of the book transmission order?"

Mo Hua nodded "reservedly".

Gu Changhuai was silent.

He actually wanted to believe it, and was willing to believe it, but reason made it difficult for him to believe it.

The Yuan magnetic array is a confidential array. Ordinary cultivators will not learn it. Even if they learn it, they can't master it.

Even if they master it, most of them are just constructing arrays.

Reversely restoring arrays is another matter.

Arrays are diverse and vast. Even some great array masters cannot be proficient in all of them.

Every profession has its own specialty.

The same is true for arrays.

Mo Hua is too young, and it's good enough for him to learn some basic arrays.

Magnetic pattern restoration is a relatively unpopular and highly "professional" array. Where can he get so much spiritual consciousness and time to study it...

Gu Changhuai shook his head.

"Uncle Gu, don't you believe it..." Mo Hua said.

"Nonsense..."

Mo Hua was puzzled, "Why can't I believe this..."

"Whatever you say, I believe it?" Gu Changhuai glared at Mo Hua unhappily, "Why don't you say that you have also built a large formation?"

Mo Hua's expression was a little subtle.

Gu Changhuai sneered, "Why, you really built a large formation?"

"I said yes, do you believe it?"

Gu Changhuai looked at Mo Hua expressionlessly, "I'm just not proficient in formations, not really 'blind'..."

Building a large formation...

What are you thinking, little brat?

You've boasted to the sky...

"I really learned how to restore magnetic patterns!"

Gu Changhuai still didn't believe it.

Mo Hua sighed.

That's all I can do.

Facts speak louder than words, it seems that I can only show off my skills.

Mo Hua took out the letter order and handed it to Gu Changhuai:

"Uncle Gu, use the letter order to secretly send a message here, don't let me know, then erase it, I'll 'restore' it for you to see..."

Mo Hua didn't finish speaking, and saw Gu Changhuai's expression changed drastically, staring at the letter order with an expression of disbelief.

"This..."

"This is..."

Gu Changhuai pointed at the letter order with cracks and tatters, his hands trembled a little, and his voice changed with anger.

"Is this the letter order I gave you?"

"It's only been a short time, and you broke it?!"

Mo Hua felt a little guilty, but still corrected:

"It's not broken!"

Gu Changhuai looked at Mo Hua indifferently, with a look of "Tell me more, let me hear how you quibble."

Mo Hua blinked and said:

"It's just... I accidentally took it apart, and there are some cracks, which is not very beautiful, but I have fixed it!"

"Although the appearance is a little shabby, the function is intact and does not affect the use."

Mo Hua said seriously: "People who practice Taoism should not be blinded by appearances, and should pay attention to the essential function of things..."

Gu Changhuai said coldly: "You know a lot. You can break things and make a lot of sense..."

Mo Hua saw that Uncle Gu was still angry, so he hurriedly said: "These are not the point..."

"I am here to learn magnetic pattern restoration..."

"The sacrifice of this letter order is valuable!"

Mo Hua looked serious.

"Okay, okay..."

Gu Changhuai was still angry, took the letter order, sent a few messages, and then erased it by himself, and then threw the letter order back to Mo Hua.

"Restore it and see what words I just sent?"

"Yeah."

Mo Hua was confident.

He took out the compass, copied the bottom fixed array pattern, and then used his spiritual sense to spy on and record the secondary thunder pattern.

Then, through the array plate, the fixed magnetic pattern and the secondary thunder pattern were used for deduction.

Gu Changhuai saw that Mo Hua was calm and skillful, and drew a bunch of array patterns he had never seen before, and made complicated deductions in a very realistic way. The anger in his heart gradually turned into astonishment.

Although he couldn't understand it, he knew that this deduction method was not ordinary...

On the array plate next to him, the magnetic ink condensed and gradually manifested, restoring a few words:

"Little bad guy..."

Mo Hua looked happy, then startled, and looked at Gu Changhuai with an unhappy face.

"Little bad guy... Are you talking about me?"

Gu Changhuai ignored Mo Hua's unhappiness.

He was completely stunned, looking at Mo Hua with an incredible expression, "You...really restored it?"

This is a method that only the great formation master in Tianshu Pavilion can use...

You, a little foundation-building cultivator, can also learn it?

Seeing that he was shocked and looked like he had never seen the world, Mo Hua ignored him and said that he was a "little bad guy".

Mo Hua said proudly:

"I am learning formations from Mr. Xun..."

"Mr. Xun..."

Gu Changhuai was stunned, and then stood in awe.

Although he didn't know who Mr. Xun was, he could teach formations in Taixu Sect, one of the eight major sects, and was respected as "old gentleman". He must have a long history and extraordinary attainments in formations.

With such a formation master teaching Mo Hua, everything seemed reasonable...

Gu Changhuai looked at Mo Hua with a different look.

However, Gu Changhuai was still a little worried about letting Mo Hua try to "restore" Hua Langjun's letter.

Mo Hua seemed to see through Gu Changhuai's thoughts and asked:

"Uncle Gu, where is Hua Langjun's letter now?"

After Gu Changhuai considered it for a moment, he slowly said:

"Tianshu Pavilion has withdrawn..."

Gu Changhuai was dissatisfied, "The formation masters of Tianshu Pavilion are either too high-ranking for me to hire, or they don't have the time to help, or they find it too troublesome... In short, no one wants to take on Daotingsi's job..."

"Then you can only rely on me..."

The ink painting eyes sparkle.

Gu Changhuai suffocated, sighed, and said helplessly: "Follow me to Daotingsi, I will give you the order of communication, you try it..."

"Uh-huh!"

Mo Hua nodded repeatedly.

Gu Changhuai shook his head. He didn't expect that Dian Si, who was in the golden elixir realm, would be reduced to a situation where he had to rely on a young monk who had just started to find clues...

But people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads...

Gu Changhuai spoke to Wen Renwan, and then took the ink painting and set off to return to Daotingsi.

Gu Changhuai went through some formalities and got the messenger order from Hwarang Jun.

This is a jade medal, which is white and has some emerald color.

Mo Hua looked at it for a moment, then entered with his spiritual consciousness and peered into the order. He saw that there was a blank space in the order, and it had indeed been erased.

Mo Hua glanced at it for a moment and saw that there was no sign of "sealing" or "encryption" in the order, and then handed the order to Gu Changhuai.

"Uncle Gu, help me take it apart..."

He is afraid that if he dismantles it, it will be dismantled again.

Gu Changhuai wanted to take it apart, but he hesitated before taking action.

He was afraid that if he was not good at ink painting, he would damage the formation inside.

But then I thought about it, even if it was restored by Tianshu Pavilion, it would still be bad.

There is no 100% sure way to "restore" it.

If you don't take a gamble now, once the Fire Buddha runs away, even if this messenger order is really restored, it will be of no use at all.

As soon as he thought of this, Gu Changhuai made up his mind.

With three strokes, five divided by two, he took apart the messenger, and his techniques were delicate and his movements were skillful.

After being opened, the underlying formation pattern of the messenger was revealed, and Gu Changhuai handed the messenger to Mo Hua.

The ink painting immediately began to reproduce the fixed magnetic pattern.

The fixed magnetic patterns of the messengers are all different.

The fixed magnetic pattern of this messenger is very different from that of the vulture.

The ink painting copied the fixed magnetic patterns on the array disk, and then through the "Annotation of Fixed Magnetic Patterns" that I learned, I compared them one by one and roughly understood the meaning of these magnetic patterns.

Functional magnetic patterns are roughly the same.

It's just that there are some discrepancies in the habit of "writing" and depicting magnetic patterns.

The most different thing is that this summons is actually one-way.

Messages can only be received in one direction and text cannot be sent out.

"Fire Buddha and the others are still very cautious..."

Then the ink painting followed the same method, using the fixed magnetic pattern as the benchmark and the sub-thunder pattern as the trace of the magnetic current "contract", and began to deduce it again.

Soon, words began to appear on the array...

Gu Changhuai was shocked.

"It's really...restored..."

He silently looked at the ink painting again, his mind fluctuating, then turned his head and looked intently at the restored text on the array disk.

Because the secondary thunder patterns are ever-changing, no matter how keen the observation of the ink painting is, there will always be some omissions.

Therefore, there will always be some errors in words.

And the order is messed up.

But in general, it can still be understood...

…

"Hua Laoliu...where have you been?"

"If something goes wrong, everyone will die..."

"Son of a bitch……"

"The first day of November..."

"The whole family is dead..."

"Everything is ready, God doesn't know it, ghost doesn't know it..."

"Bishan City, Rouge Shop..."

…

"What fun is there in those ruined flowers and willows?"

"When the deed is accomplished, the young master will reward you with a top-quality product that you will never be able to lick in your life..."

"Hua Laoliu, don't waste time."

"Hua Laoliu?"

"If you get semen in your head again this time and cause serious problems, I will castrate you..."

…

"Brother is very angry and the consequences will be serious."

"You are dead……"

…

After reading these words, Mo Hua and Gu Changhuai looked at each other and frowned.

"This tone is not like that of the Fire Buddha..."

"It's possible that it was sent by Fire Buddha's subordinates..."

There don't seem to be many clues inside.

In general, it's all known information.

Hwarangjun and Huo Buddha are in the same group. They make an appointment to go to Bishan City together to wipe out the Xie family.

In addition, there are two things that make Mo Hua care about.

One is "gongzi".

"After the work is completed, the young master will reward you with a high-quality product..."

Who is this "boy"?

Suddenly, Mo Hua remembered the restored "Accounts" text on the Vulture's messenger. There was a record in it:

"On the 20th, I gathered hundreds of flowers and got a crane, which I gave to the young master..."

A crane is given to the "gongzi".

Do the two "young masters" here refer to the same person?

Or is it just a coincidence?

After all, this is the border of Qianxue State. There are too many disciples from aristocratic families, and there are many called "gongzi".

Mo Hua himself was called "Little Young Master"...

Mo Hua glanced at Gu Changhuai and asked in a low voice:

"Uncle Gu, are there any sin cultivators with many evil deeds who are nicknamed 'Young Master'?"

Gu Changhuai frowned in thought and shook his head, "I haven't heard of it..."

Mo Hua nodded.

Uncle Gu has never heard of it, which means that it is very likely that he is someone hiding in the dark...

The only clue now is another place that Mo Hua is concerned about.

"Rouge Shop."

This is the only clear place name in the entire letter.

It is either the place of reunion.

Or there is a secret sentry.

It is even possible that it is the place where they hide...

Gu Changhuai obviously thought of this.

"Uncle Gu, is there a rouge shop in Bishan City?" Mo Hua asked again.

Gu Changhuai pondered, "How many are there..."

"How about going to take a look?" Mo Hua asked tentatively.

At this point, he had to go and take a look anyway.

Gu Changhuai nodded, stood up and left, but after a few steps, he found that Mo Hua was following him like a "little tail bug", obviously wanting to go with him.

Gu Changhuai didn't want to take him with him, but he knew that he would definitely not get rid of Mo Hua, so he didn't waste his energy and just emphasized:

"Three rules, don't forget!"

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded.

Gu Changhuai sighed and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something and said solemnly:

"Don't tell anyone else about the restoration of the magnetic pattern."

"Especially the people from Dao Tingsi..."

Mo Hua was startled, then understood in his heart, nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped."

Gu Changhuai was relieved.

After that, the two of them took a carriage to Bishan City.

This trip was just to get information, Gu Changhuai did not mobilize a large number of troops and call other people from Dao Tingsi.

The carriage was moving fast, bumpy all the way, and soon arrived in Bishan City.

There are four rouge shops in Bishan City.

Two of the larger ones are luxuriously decorated and have a strong smell of powder. Men and women are walking together in the shops, and people are coming and going, which is very lively.

There is another one, which is not doing well and is about to go bankrupt.

These three shops seem to be fine.

The last one is suspicious.

The shop is called "Rouge Shop" and is located in a small alley. It is not too big or small, with few people and is very quiet.

There are indeed a lot of rouge and powder in the shop, but they are very old and obviously old.

And the whole shop exudes a strange sense of disharmony.

Occasionally, monks go in, but after a while, they all come out again.

Mo Hua and Gu Changhuai drank a pot of tea and ate two plates of pine nuts in a nearby teahouse, while staring at the movement of the Rouge Shop.

They did not act rashly, but wanted to see the situation first.

After watching for more than an hour, Mo Hua said "Huh" softly.

Gu Changhuai raised his eyebrows, "What did you see?"

Mo Hua picked up the teacup, drank a sip of tea, and then said in a low voice without showing any expression:

"There are no customers in this store..."

"Those customers who come and go, although there are men and women with different looks, are actually the same person..."

Gu Changhuai was slightly surprised and nodded.

Mo Hua saw that he didn't react much, and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Uncle Gu, you also saw it?"

Gu Changhuai snorted softly, "How can a mere trick hide it from me..."

Mo Hua was a little uncomfortable with his arrogant look, so he asked:

"Then do you know who this monk pretending to be a customer is?"

Gu Changhuai was slightly stunned.

How did he know this?

Gu Changhuai glanced at Mo Hua, "You know?"

Mo Hua raised his eyebrows proudly.

Gu Changhuai frowned in confusion, "How do you know?"

Mo Hua said: "Because not long ago, it was me who arrested him and put him in Dao Prison!"
