Chapter 423 Disappearance

There was something strange in the mine, so we couldn't stay there for long.

Mo Hua and the others left the mine and went to Nanyue City, where they found a place to rest for a while.

Wang Lai was covered in wounds and looked miserable, but he was still breathing.

Mo Hua woke him up and asked him some more questions while he was free.

When it was dawn and he couldn't get any more information, Mo Hua handed Wang Lai over to Situ Fang.

At the same time, he also told them about Wang Lai and what these ruffians had done.

Old Yu and the other three testified on the side.

Situ Fang was shocked and angry when she heard this.

She never expected that Wang Lai and these ruffians could actually do such a heinous thing.

Killing people to earn spirit stones, and also cheating for compensation.

Situ Fang raised her eyebrows and said angrily:

"Leave it to me next. I will take Wang Lai to Daoyu first, interrogate the accomplices, and then catch them all in one fell swoop!"

"Is Daotingsi... okay?" Mo Hua asked.

The Daotingsi in Nanyue City is different from Tongxian City. The water inside is very muddy, and the head of the department is not necessarily a good person.

Situ Fang frowned, pondered for a moment, and sighed:

"I'll be careful, everything is done according to the rules, and the head of the department should not be able to say anything."

Mo Hua nodded and said, "Well, then Sister Situ, you be careful."

"Don't worry."

Situ Fang nodded, looked at Mo Hua and the other two, and said with emotion:

"Thanks to you this time."

Mo Hua waved his hand, "It's just a little effort, nothing."

Situ Fang patted Mo Hua's shoulder, "I'll treat you to dinner another day."

Then he took Wang Lai away.

The three old Yutou thanked Mo Hua profusely.

"Thank you, three young adults, thank you!"

"Thank you very much, benefactor!"

Mo Hua said, "No need to thank me, go home early and recuperate."

The three bowed again, and then they felt fortunate to have survived the disaster, and went back with a sense of relief.

They almost died in the mine.

They almost lost their families forever...

After the three old Yutou left, Bai Zisheng asked Mo Hua:

"What should I do next?"

Mo Hua thought for a while and said, "I want to go back to the mine."

Bai Zisheng was shocked, "Are you stupid? Are you going back to die?"

Mo Hua pointed to the sky.

The sun was high in the sky.

Bai Zisheng realized that it was already daytime.

Even if the mine was "haunted", it would be at midnight.

"What are you going to do in the mine now?" Bai Zisheng asked.

Mo Hua's eyes were somewhat deep, "I want to see what happened to the corpses of those thugs..."

Bai Zisheng's expression was also a little solemn, "Then let's go together."

Mo Hua shook his head, "No, I can go alone. You don't know how to hide. Although there is a hidden array on the cloak, the array is not perfect. It's okay to use it at night. If you use it during the day, there will still be faint traces and it will be easy to be discovered."

Bai Zisheng didn't care, "If you find it, it's no big deal..."

No one can stop him in this mine.

Mo Hua said, "This mine belongs to the Lu family. There may be a foundation-building cultivator guarding it during the day. If they find out, even if we can get away, we will be alerted and expose our whereabouts..."

"Once the Lu family is alert, it will be inconvenient for us to investigate next."

Bai Zisheng said, "If you go alone, if you encounter a foundation-building cultivator, won't it be equally dangerous?"

Mo Hua shook his head, "The Lu family's foundation-building cultivator can't find me."

He knows the art of concealment and the concealment array. With the divine sense of the twelve foundation-building patterns, it is impossible for the Lu family's foundation-building cultivator to find him.

"Oh, that's right."

Bai Zisheng nodded, but he was still a little worried.

Bai Zixi said, "You go in alone, and we will meet you outside."

Mo Hua wanted to say something, but Bai Zixi glanced at him indifferently and said in a gentle voice:

"I am your senior sister."

Mo Hua had no choice but to agree.

So they took a short rest and set off again, returning to the Lu family mine.

At this time, the sky was bright and the morning glow filled the sky.

The mine has started working.

Miners came to the mine one after another, and began to endure the heat, holding the pickaxe, and mining ore again and again.

The mine was noisy and bustling again, without the eerie silence of the night.

Mo Hua hid his figure and walked into the mine with a swagger.

In the mine, there was indeed an elder of the Lu family, a foundation-building cultivator, sitting on the side to enjoy the cool and drink tea, watching the miners working hard.

There was also a pretty maid next to him, fanning him.

Mo Hua walked past him calmly.

The elder was unaware, and his eyes were rolling around on the maid's slender figure.

This useless look made Mo Hua shake his head.

Mo Hua walked through the crowd, walked into the mine, and walked deep into the mine, to the place where Wang Lai attempted to kill last night.

There was no one around, not a single miner.

There was no sign of anyone.

There was an unusual movement in the mine last night, and the few ruffians left by Mo Hua disappeared.

There were no miners because this was deep in the mine, remote and quiet, and there was no mine to dig, so miners rarely came here.

But what about those ruffians?

Dead? No trace of their bodies?

They had done many evil things, so it didn't matter if they died or their bodies were gone.

But Mo Hua wanted to know how they died...

Mo Hua released his spiritual sense and sensed everything around him in the white vision.

The stone wall was cold and light black and gray.

There was blood around, faint and weak, left over from last night, and it had almost dissipated.

Among the blood, some of it was mixed with dark death, winding on the ground and extending along the stone wall to the distance.

Mo Hua silently opened his eyes, locked onto the blood and energy with his spiritual sense, and walked along the stone wall little by little.

After walking for a cup of tea, the blood and energy stopped.

In front of him was a stone wall.

Mo Hua swept his spiritual sense and knew that there was a formation drawn on the stone wall.

And behind the stone wall must be the mine dug by the Lu family.

Mo Hua's eyes narrowed slightly.

"From the traces... these thugs were dragged by something and dragged into the mine..."

Mo Hua didn't know what happened in the mine.

But it is likely that these thugs, like the five missing miners, were eaten by something...

Mo Hua hesitated for a moment and wanted to unlock the formation and go into the mine to take a look.

But as soon as he put down his pen, he stopped.

His spiritual sense moved slightly, and he calculated for a moment, and slowly put away his pen.

"Surprisingly... the formation has been reinforced..."

Not only is the stone wall more solid, but there are also layers of early warning formations drawn inside.

Mo Hua could unlock these formations, but he was not sure if there would be any unusual movements when unlocking them, thus alarming the Lu family cultivators.

Or, did the Lu family deliberately draw the formations to lure him in?

Mo Hua weighed the pros and cons and thought it was better not to take risks.

It would be bad if he was blocked in the mine by the Lu family.

Mo Hua sighed, turned around and left, but there was a cloud of doubt in his heart.

What exactly did the Lu family build these mines in the mine for?

What secrets were there in the mines...

Mo Hua frowned, and when he left, he eavesdropped on what the nearby mine cultivators said.

But he didn't hear any useful news.

And the nearby mine cultivators didn't find those hooligans.

Those hooligans just disappeared, just like the five mine cultivators, they disappeared in the mine...

...

After leaving the mine, Mo Hua met up with Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi.

"Did you find anything?" Bai Zixi asked.

Mo Hua told the story of the gangster.

Bai Zisheng snorted and said, "He deserves to die!"

Then he also wondered, "Is the Lu family doing something shameful?"

Mo Hua shook his head, "I'm not sure yet."

"If it's not the Lu family, then it must be someone else?"

"Didn't Wang Lai say there was a gray monk?"

Mo Hua nodded and said, "At this point, we can only start with the gray monk."

The three of them walked back.

Mo Hua still looked a little depressed on the way.

Bai Zixi asked, "What's wrong?"

Mo Hua sighed, "I'm worried about Instructor Yan..."

"Sister Situ said that Instructor Yan disappeared after entering the mine, and no one has seen him since then..."

"I'm worried that he was harmed by Wang Lai and others..."

Bai Zisheng nodded involuntarily, "It's possible..."

Mo Hua became more worried when he heard this, and his eyebrows frowned.

Bai Zixi glared at his brother and said softly to Mo Hua:

"Good luck will come to those who are lucky. Mr. Yan may not have been killed."

Bai Zisheng also knew that he had said something wrong. He scratched his head and said with a wry smile:

"I was just saying it casually. Don't take it to heart. Mr. Yan may have found other clues, so he left Nanyue City and went to search on his own."

Mo Hua knew that his senior brothers and sisters were comforting him. Although he felt that what they said was unreasonable, he felt better.

"I hope that Master Yan will be lucky..."

Mo Hua sighed silently.

Seeing that Mo Hua was a little unhappy, Bai Zisheng changed the subject and said:

"Should we check on that gray monk?"

Mo Hua nodded, "Yes."

No buying and selling, no killing.

It was that gray monk who wanted to buy the body, so he persuaded Wang Lai and others to kill the mining monk.

The source was that gray monk.

Even if Wang Lai was eliminated, there would still be Zhao Lai, Qian Lai, Li Lai...

As long as the gray monk is still there, there will naturally be other monks who will kill the miners and sell their bodies for spiritual stones.

Eliminate all evil and root out the weeds.

Bai Zisheng nodded repeatedly.

Then he thought of a question: "Wang Lai said that he met the gray monk in the brothel, so..."

Bai Zisheng asked seriously:

"Are we going to the brothel?"

This question stumped Mo Hua.
