Chapter 136: Flower Thief (Part 4)

Zhang Lan felt that his dark history in his life as a cultivator had been further highlighted by this child, Mo Hua.

He was on guard as if facing a great enemy, but the person opposite him was a young cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

How embarrassing!

Zhang Lan couldn't help but complain, "Look, you, a child of your age, what are you doing in the mountains?!"

"I have done a lot of things in the mountains: drawing maps, setting up formations, taking monster blood, looking for spices, picking herbs, digging for ores..."

Mo Hua counted on his fingers and listed them one by one to Zhang Lan.

Zhang Lan was overwhelmed, "Okay, okay, I know."

What a mess.

Zhang Lan didn't believe it in his heart. Is Dahei Mountain a place where a child can come...

He, a cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refining, had to be cautious when entering the mountain, let alone Mo Hua, a young cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Moreover, according to Zhang Lan's understanding of Mo Hua, although this kid has a good talent for formations, he is born weak. If he encounters any monster, he will be taken away for a snack.

And what about setting up formations to collect herbs? Isn't this nonsense...

Zhang Lan didn't believe it.

But he also knew that Mo Hua was a bit weird and it was not easy to judge according to normal cultivation cognition.

So although he didn't believe it, he didn't say anything.

The two people behind him were still immersed in shock at this time, and didn't listen to what Mo Hua said at all.

Their inexperienced appearance made Zhang Lan feel better, and he felt that he had saved some face.

Mo Hua glanced at the two people behind Zhang Lan and asked, "Who is this sister?"

"We are of different generations." Zhang Lan said, "You should call me aunt."

The female cultivator's eyes were like knives. She stabbed Zhang Lan, then turned to Mo Hua and said with a smile:

"My sister's surname is Situ, and my given name is Fang. Don't listen to your uncle Zhang. Just call me sister."

Zhang Lan was speechless.

Mo Hua called "sister" sweetly.

Situ Fang smiled immediately.

The man next to him said arrogantly, "My name is Situ Xiu."

Mo Hua said "Oh" perfunctorily.

Zhang Lan couldn't help but say to Mo Hua:

"Go wash your face quickly. Look at what you look like, you are covered in dirt."

He was frightened by Mo Hua's appearance just now, and he still felt a little uncomfortable looking at it now.

Mo Hua found a stream and washed his face.

The dirty little face immediately became red lips and white teeth, like a porcelain doll.

Situ Fang looked at it for a few more times and couldn't help but praise: "You are really beautiful, you are so beautiful!"

"Thank you sister, you are also beautiful!"

Mo Hua praised in return.

Situ Fang's face was full of smiles.

Zhang Lan sighed and said to Mo Hua: "It's getting late, why don't you go back first."

Situ Fang also nodded, "There are monsters in the mountains, it's not safe for you to stay here, do you want your sister to take you down the mountain?"

Zhang Lan couldn't help but roll his eyes at Situ Fang, "Have you forgotten the business?"

Situ Fang was a little entangled.

Mo Hua asked curiously: "What are you doing in the mountains?"

"Dao Ting's driver is confidential, I can't tell you."

"Looking for someone, right."

Zhang Lan had a headache, "How did you know?"

"You just chatted, I heard it."

Zhang Lan sighed again, there was nothing he could do about Mo Hua.

Mo Hua's dark eyes turned and he said, "How about I help you find it?"

Situ Fang smiled and said, "Thank you, little brother, but this is too dangerous, we can't let you go."

Zhang Lan stood aside and said nothing.

Mo Hua glanced at Zhang Lan and reminded him, "The Dahei Mountain is very big. If you don't know the way, you may not be able to find anyone even if you wander around for ten days or half a month."

Zhang Lan frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you come with us."

Situ Fang frowned, "You are crazy, he is still a child."

Zhang Lan said helplessly, "If he doesn't lead the way for us, we will not only find no one, but we may also get lost in the mountains."

Situ Xiu on the side sneered, "With this kid leading the way, we won't get lost?"

"No!" Zhang Lan said firmly, "We will get lost, but he won't!"

"How do you know..."

"If he would get lost, he wouldn't come to the mountain alone."

Zhang Lan figured it out. Mo Hua, this child, would not do anything without measure. If he spoke, he must be sure.

Situ Fang and Situ Xiu were silent, and the scene of Mo Hua silently emerging from the bushes just now appeared in their minds again.

At the same time, the chill in their hearts that they had been on high alert before also surfaced in their minds.

The little monk in front of them might not be a cause for concern, but they were the ones who were worth worrying about...

"That thief is more dangerous..." Situ Fang was still a little hesitant.

Zhang Lan said, "Can't the three of us protect him?"

Situ Fang was speechless, and Situ Xiu snorted coldly, but didn't say anything.

Mo Hua asked, "Who are you looking for? Do you have any clues?"

Situ Fang glanced at Zhang Lan.

At this point, Zhang Lan no longer concealed it and said:

"We are chasing a flower thief."

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, "Flower thief?"

He had heard of this term, but not in the world of cultivation, so he didn't know the difference between the two.

Zhang Lan said, "Flower thieves refer to thieves who use evil techniques to forcibly take essence from women to improve their own cultivation. These thieves are not tolerated by the Dao Law and will be hunted down by the Dao Court."

Situ Fang nudged Zhang Lan with her elbow and whispered, "That's enough. Don't tell the children about taking essence." After saying that, her cheeks flushed slightly.

Zhang Lan didn't think there was anything wrong, but now that he was told that, he was embarrassed to continue.

Mo Hua was a little disappointed. He wanted to know more.

"Then do you have any clues?"

"There are portraits." Zhang Lan spread out a portrait.

The man in the portrait was young and handsome, but his eyes were a bit evil.

"So young?" Mo Hua said.

"He practiced the evil Qigong of collecting Qi, so he looks young, but he is actually over a hundred years old. If he doesn't collect Qi for more than a month, his face will become old..." Zhang Lan said.

Mo Hua was surprised, "There is such a Qigong?"

"There are so many strange and evil Qigongs..." Zhang Lan said, and suddenly reminded Mo Hua:

"Don't learn it. The evil and demonic Qigongs are cold-blooded and cruel. If you get involved, you will basically lose your humanity..."

Mo Hua nodded quickly, taking it as a warning.

Zhang Lan added: "We got a clue. This flower thief was wanted by the Daoting Division. He had nowhere to go, so he entered the Great Black Mountain. He may not dare to go to the inner mountain. He is most likely in the outer mountain. And he should be in the area from Guyun Peak to Broken Cliff..."

After Zhang Lan finished speaking, Mo Hua had a rough idea in his mind and said:

"Don't worry, since he is in the outer mountain, he will definitely not be able to escape."

Seeing this, Situ Fang couldn't help but smile and said: "Then I'll leave it to you."

"Yes!" Mo Hua nodded.

The flower thief hiding in the outer mountain, practicing evil skills, more than a hundred years old, and Uncle Zhao who was being hunted...

Is the cultivator who hunted Uncle Zhao this flower thief?

Mo Hua also wants to catch this thief and find out the truth.

Thanks to Mini Rabbit for the reward~
