Chapter 459 Corpse Mine

Zhang Quan is dead, and there is no evidence.

The iron corpse was robbed, and the clues were cut off.

Now we can only start with the traitor of Xiaolingyin Sect.

Mo Hua thought about it, and then ran to ask Yan Jiaoshi:

"Jiaoshi, do you think that traitor is in Nanyue City?"

Yan Jiaoshi's eyes flickered, and he sighed:

"I have been looking for a long time before, but there is no clue. Maybe he is not here anymore..."

Mo Hua shook his head, "Jiaoshi, you lied."

Yan Jiaoshi was stunned for a moment.

Mo Hua looked sure.

Yan Jiaoshi couldn't help asking, "How do you know I lied?"

"I guessed!"

Mo Hua said in a crisp voice.

He looked at Yan Jiaoshi, with a pair of eyes that were clearly black and white, deep pupils, and pure eyes, spotless.

Being looked at by Mo Hua with such eyes, Yan Jiaoshi felt that he had no way to hide it.

There was even some guilt in his heart.

Instructor Yan was silent for a long time, struggling in his heart. Finally, he sighed and said:

"That person is indeed in Nanyue City..."

"I didn't tell you before, first, I didn't want to involve you, and second, this is just my guess. I don't have any evidence, so I can't be sure."

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, and he asked quickly:

"Where in Nanyue City?"

Instructor Yan frowned and said, "I guess it's in the Lu family."

The Lu family!

Mo Hua's eyes moved, and he thought silently in his heart.

The traitor's surname is Shen Mingcai. He changed his name and surname, and it is also very likely that he changed his appearance and lurked in Nanyue City. It is very likely that he will find a force to rely on.

It is impossible to be a casual cultivator.

First, casual cultivators are hard. He betrayed his master and destroyed his ancestors, and he certainly didn't do it to live a hard life.

Second, he is a formation master. He has no relatives and friends among casual cultivators, which makes him more conspicuous and his identity more suspicious.

If he is not a casual cultivator, he must find a force to rely on.

If he wants to rely on, it must be a big force.

It is nice to be under a big tree to enjoy the shade, and there are many people and things to do, so it is convenient for him to stay.

The three major forces in Nanyue City are Daoting Division, Nanyue Sect, and Lu Family.

Daoting Division pays attention to origin, and you cannot enter without a clean identity - at least a clean identity on the surface;

Nanyue Sect is a sect, and Lu Family is a family.

Relatively speaking, as long as you have the ability, you can get into either of these two.

There are many choices to be a teacher, an elder of an outer sect or a branch, a guest official, or a son-in-law, and the status is quite high and the treatment is also good.

Mo Hua had guessed before that if the traitor was hiding, he would hide in Nanyue Sect or Lu Family.

But he was a little unsure.

Teacher Yan also guessed that the traitor was in the Lu family...

Mo Hua asked: "Why do you think he is in the Lu family?"

Teacher Yan said: "You are right, I lied to you before..."

"I saw the handwriting of the traitor's formation in Nanyue City. At that time, I told you that I didn't find out the origin of this formation, which was actually a lie..."

"I found it out..."

Teacher Yan looked solemn, "This formation came from the Lu family."

"And the formation aura in that mine , familiar yet obscure, with some evil..."

"I guess the formation used in the mine is the Lingshu formation."

"That mine also belongs to the Lu family."

"I also suspected the Lu family, so I rented a house near the mine, trying to find out some information and find clues about the traitor..."

Teacher Yan was a little helpless, "But I never thought that I would meet Zhang Quan, be held hostage by him, and be trapped in the zombie village..."

"You know everything about what happened later..."

Teacher Yan told everything.

Mo Hua nodded slowly, "So, the Lu family is the most suspicious."

Teacher Yan also nodded slightly, and then looked depressed:

"The Lu family is too powerful. They occupy several mines, have many foundation builders, mines, brothels, gambling houses, and restaurants, and own most of the prosperous Jinhua Street. Their relationships in Nanyue City are complicated..."

"I don't have the ability to investigate the Lu family. Even if I find out, I'm afraid..."

Teacher Yan sighed deeply.

Mo Hua knew the difficulties of Teacher Yan.

The Lu family is such a powerful force in the local area. Teacher Yan, an outsider cultivator, even if he is a formation master, has no way to find out anything.

Even if he finds out, Teacher Yan is not good at Taoism, so he can't do anything.

If the report is made to the court, saying that someone in the Lu family is bullying his teacher and destroying his ancestors.

It is estimated that the one who will be arrested will be Teacher Yan.

Mo Hua comforted Instructor Yan:

"Instructor, in fact, Manager Mo is right. You should also consider your lifelong event, marry a Taoist partner, and live a happy life."

Instructor Yan paused, feeling helpless.

Mo Hua added: "Good and evil will be rewarded. Who knows, that person may suddenly die one day?"

"You can live here without worry these days, drink tea with Mr. Zhuang, chat, and talk about formations..."

"As for other things, let it go, don't take it too seriously."

That being said, it is definitely not easy to untie the knot in Yan Jiaoxi's heart.

But after listening to Mo Hua's words, Yan Jiaoxi still felt a little warm in his heart.

For so many years, he was in a depressed mood and had a somewhat cold temperament.

He rarely felt the care of others.

But then Yan Jiaoxi found something wrong again, and looked at Mo Hua with some suspicion, "Do you... want to do something?"

Mo Hua smiled and shook his head:

"Nothing."

He couldn't tell Yan Jiaoxi what he wanted to do for the time being.

Then he changed the subject, chatted with Yan Jiaoxi for a few more words, and ran to Dao Tingsi to find Situ Fang.

It was inconvenient to talk in Dao Tingsi, so the two found a remote teahouse.

Mo Hua lowered his voice and asked:

"Sister Situ, has your chief ever been bribed by Nanyue Sect?"

Situ Fang was startled, thought about it, and nodded.

"Has he ever been bribed by the Lu family?"

Situ Fang nodded again.

Mo Hua was silent, and he asked in a different way:

"Is there any sect or family in Nanyue City that has never bribed him?"

Situ Fang hesitated:

"Maybe, but such a force should no longer exist..."

Mo Hua was a little unbelievable, "He is so greedy?"

Situ Fang said tactfully: "After all, he is my chief, and it is not easy for me to discuss his right and wrong."

Mo Hua understood.

It means that he is so greedy that she has nothing to say.

Mo Hua frowned, "He is so greedy, is there no one to control him?"

Situ Fang coughed twice and whispered:

"Daotingsi has power, and people with power are greedy, but the greed varies."

"There are some who are not greedy, but they are rare."

"Power and money are interdependent."

"As long as you have power, someone will send you spiritual stones, and they will even put them in your pocket without you having to do anything."

"And as long as you have spiritual stones, you can naturally use them to exchange for power..."

Mo Hua nodded, and suddenly felt a little strange:

"Sister Situ, why does your tone sound so similar to Uncle Zhang Lan..."

Situ Fang was a little disgusted, "That's what he told me."

Mo Hua was stunned.

Situ Fang sighed, "He was afraid that I was too straightforward and too simple, so when I was the Dianshi, he told me these words."

Situ Fang didn't believe it at first.

Later, when he became the Dianshi, he saw a lot of things and had to believe it.

Mo Hua pondered for a while and asked again:

"Which family did Qian Zhangsi receive the most bribes from?"

"It must be the Lu family."

"Is the Lu family the richest?"

"Yes." Situ Fang nodded and sighed:

"Most of the mines in Nanyue City belong to the Lu family, and most of the mine repairmen in Nanyue City work for the Lu family. How can they not be rich?"

I guess there is one more sentence missing: Most of the Daotingsi in Nanyue City have been bribed by the Lu family...

Mo Hua complained in his heart.

Situ Fang glanced at Mo Hua, frowned, and suddenly reminded:

"Don't go against the Lu family..."

"A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. The Lu family is powerful, has deep connections, and has complicated relationships. Unless the Dao Ting takes action, such local forces, no matter how many bad things they have done, will be able to conceal everything once they collude with the local Dao Ting Division."

"You can't get rid of the roots by cutting the grass..."

When the Situ family arrived in Nanyue City, they also did things according to the rules.

There were occasional conflicts of interest, but they would not tear their faces apart.

The problems in Nanyue City were deeply rooted.

It was not something that the Situ family could solve just because they wanted to.

What's more, Situ Fang was just a Dian Si.

Situ Fang had a deep friendship with Mo Hua, and was afraid that he didn't know the pros and cons here, and rashly got involved with it with a passion, and then he couldn't get away.

Mo Hua nodded and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

After confirming the relationship between the Lu family and Daotingsi, Mo Hua went to the Lu family's mine again.

On the surface, the Lu family's mine was still noisy and busy as always.

But Mo Hua found that the formations around it had changed.

The formations were more complete and the guards were more strict.

There were many dust-revealing formations set up outside the mine, and even a light-revealing formation was set up at the gate...

These formations seemed to be guarding against themselves...

At the same time, the monks guarding the mine were also replaced.

The Lu family monk named Lu Ming was transferred away.

There were also two Lu family foundation-building monks sitting in the mine.

They no longer had beautiful maids fanning them, or delicious food and wine, but sat quietly with a solemn look, and occasionally released their spiritual sense to scan around, as if they were on guard against something.

"It's very problematic..."

Mo Hua muttered to himself.

With the foundation building, the dust revealing array, and the image developing array, it's not easy to get in.

Mo Hua wanted to wait until night to go in and take a look.

But at night, the two foundation building were still there.

Mo Hua swept his spiritual sense and even found that there were many Lu family cultivators hiding in the corners.

No one was mining at night, so they guarded more strictly.

Don't give Mo Hua any chance.

"It's a big problem..."

Mo Hua simply waited outside until midnight.

Until midnight, some movement finally came from the mine.

Waves of gloomy breath came.

But unlike before, these movements were very subtle.

The breath inside was also very weak and difficult to detect.

It seemed to be deliberately restrained, and it seemed to be covered up by things like formations.

It was completely different from the dense, gloomy, evil, and palpitating feeling that Mo Hua had felt before.

Nowadays, the mine has a weak aura and little movement.

Even ordinary cultivators passing by may not be able to detect any abnormality in the mine.

Mo Hua's expression was slightly solemn.

He sat down cross-legged, released his spiritual sense, and carefully sensed the aura of the mine.

After a while, Mo Hua opened his eyes and was sure in his heart.

His guess was right.

The aura in this mine is zombies!

He didn't know before.

But he had dealt with Zhang Quan, went to the zombie village, robbed the corpse control bell, took the "zombie map", and "ate" several zombies.

Mo Hua is very familiar with it now.

That kind of dead air is the corpse aura of the zombies.

That kind of rotten smell is the rotten stench of the zombies.

The evil formation is the Lingshu evil formation painted on the zombies.

The aura used to be dense and palpitating because there were many, countless zombies hidden in this mine!

This mine of the Lu family is a corpse mine!
