Asking About Longevity

Chapter 641 Jia Ren

"He is a traitor of Duanjinmen, who stole things from the Xie family. The Xie family sent the task to the sect. Senior Sister Murong, Senior Brother Feng and I took the task and came to Bishan City to capture him, and then sent him to Daoyu..."

Mo Hua said concisely.

"This man can disguise himself. He is covered in flesh and blood, and his appearance can be distorted and deformed. Moreover, he practices the Duanjinmen's Dunjin Body Technique, which turns his body into golden light and runs very fast..."

Mo Hua added.

Gu Changhuai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice:

"He stole things from the Xie family..."

"And then, the Xie family was wiped out..."

Mo Hua nodded.

He hadn't thought of this before, but now that he saw this Duanjinmen traitor, he also felt that it was very strange.

And...

Mo Hua whispered: "How did he get out of Daoyu? Is it..."

Is there a traitor in Daotingsi?

Mo Hua didn't say it clearly, but Gu Changhuai obviously understood what Mo Hua meant, and his expression became more solemn.

"I'll have someone check it out."

Gu Changhuai took out the golden waist badge of the Daoting Division and seemed to have sent out some message.

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, "Can the Daoting Division waist badge also send messages? Then my one..."

"Your one can't."

"Why?"

"Out-of-staff."

Gu Changhuai was also concise.

Mo Hua was helpless, "Okay..."

Who said that out-of-staff people have no human rights? They do the same thing but get different treatment.

Mo Hua looked at the Rouge Shop again and asked:

"Uncle Gu, what are we going to do next? Do we want to arrest people?"

Gu Changhuai took a sip of tea and said lightly:

"No hurry, let's see first..."

Gu Changhuai was not in a hurry, and Mo Hua was even less anxious.

He was also very curious and wanted to know how Uncle Gu, as the director of the Daoting Division, usually handled cases.

How to find clues.

How to arrest people.

Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles.

If...

One day in the future, I am wanted by the Daoting Division and chased by Uncle Gu. How can I escape from him...

Of course, this is just if.

I am a good cultivator in Qianxuezhou who abides by the law!

I am a good disciple of Taixu Sect who abides by the law!

There will not be such a day.

But this does not prevent me from learning more and gaining some experience.

The cultivation world is very profound and complicated.

Not only do you have to learn the methods of cultivation, but you also need to understand the worldly affairs.

So Mo Hua patiently sat down again and continued to drink tea, staring at Gu Changhuai and the Rouge Shop, observing the movements of the Duanjinmen traitor.

The behavior of the traitor was also very strange.

In the Rouge Shop, people come and go.

Every time he goes in and out, he changes his face and dress, as if he doesn't want to attract other people's attention.

But Mo Hua noticed that every time he enters the door, he only has one storage bag on him.

And when he goes out, he has three or four storage bags on him.

Mo Hua quietly stared at him with his spiritual sense and found that he did not go far, but just wandered around aimlessly with these storage bags.

Bishan City was built on a steep mountain.

There are often scattered and unfathomable cliffs and gullies beside the streets.

He took advantage of people not paying attention and threw these storage bags into these cliffs and gullies.

After throwing them, he came back to get them, and then continued to throw them...

Just like... throwing "garbage"...

And it seems that his behavior has been going on for quite a while.

Mo Hua cracked pine nuts and approached Gu Changhuai, as if chatting about gossip, and whispered:

"Uncle Gu, is he... selling stolen goods?"

Destroying stolen goods...

Gu Changhuai's eyes condensed, "It's possible..."

"Then we... catch him now and catch him red-handed?"

Gu Changhuai shook his head.

"He has been selling stolen goods for some time. Obviously, there are a lot of stolen goods. We can't act too hastily..."

"Catching him rashly may alert the enemy."

"If there are still minions of the Fire Buddha nearby, or spies, they will be noticed once they take action..."

"We should wait for an opportunity, avoid being seen, and quietly catch him..."

Mo Hua nodded.

Gu Changhuai wanted to say something, but suddenly his expression changed. He picked up the waist badge, glanced at it lightly, and put it back.

Mo Hua was sharp-eyed and said:

"Have you found out the traitor?"

Gu Changhuai glanced at Mo Hua and sighed: "No..."

"No?" Mo Hua frowned, "He was released so quickly after being put into the Taoist Prison. Isn't it because of the traitor?"

Gu Changhuai shook his head, "It's in accordance with the rules for him to be released."

Mo Hua was a little surprised.

Gu Changhuai said, "I asked someone to look through the files..."

"This man's name is Jia Ren, and he has no criminal record..."

"The Xie family said that the warehouse was stolen, but they didn't say what was lost. And no spiritual tools, elixirs or secret books with the Xie family warehouse mark were found on this man..."

"He can't be convicted of theft."

"As for Duanjinmen..."

"Duanjinmen said that they were wrong. This man is not a disciple of Duanjinmen. Someone else stole Duanjinmen's inheritance and betrayed Duanjinmen..."

"So, he is not a traitor of Duanjinmen."

"The only thing that can be convicted is that he worked as a 'secret prostitute' in a private brothel that violated regulations..."

"But..."

Gu Changhuai's expression was a little subtle, "He is a man..."

"So, the Daoting Division could only lock him up for a month on the charges of 'fraud' and 'indecent behavior', and then released him..."

"There is no way to know what is going on in this matter, but at least on the surface, there is no problem..."

Mo Hua was speechless.

Is this okay?

He looked at this "Jia Ren" who was wearing many skins and looked the same for a while, and complained in his heart.

There would be nothing wrong with this person...

But with it came more doubts:

First of all, the Xie family...

Did the Xie family lose anything?

If it was lost, what was lost?

Was it stolen by "Jia Ren"?

If it was not lost, why did the Xie family lie?

Does this thing have anything to do with the extermination of the Xie family?

Why did Duan Jinmen say that this "Jia Ren" was a traitor at the beginning, but then denied it?

What happened here?

The Xie family was exterminated, the Fire Buddha disappeared...

What do these things have to do with Jia Ren?

While Mo Hua was thinking, he suddenly saw that Jia Ren's movement trajectory had changed.

A team of officers from the Bishan City Dao Tingsi passed by here on a routine patrol, which aroused Jia Ren's vigilance.

It was not convenient for him to sell the stolen goods, so he took three storage bags, found a secluded road, and walked to the uninhabited mountains in the north.

Mo Hua glanced at Gu Changhuai.

Gu Changhuai's eyes lit up, and he put three spirit stones on the table, then stood up and left.

Mo Hua estimated in his mind that these three spirit stones also included his tea money, so he nodded with satisfaction, then stood up and left, quietly following behind Gu Changhuai.

The back mountain to the north of Bishan City was even steeper.

Jia Ren was very alert.

This time he disguised himself as a short and strong monk, carrying a bamboo basket for collecting herbs, circling the mountain road, occasionally stopping and looking back at the mountains.

Gu Changhuai and Mo Hua could only follow from a distance.

Fortunately, both of them had strong spiritual awareness, and Jia Ren could not escape at all.

Mo Hua asked: "Uncle Gu, are you going to do it?"

Gu Changhuai nodded.

"How do we catch him?" Mo Hua asked again.

We need to catch him alive, quickly, accurately, and quickly, without giving "Jia Ren" a chance to react or escape.

We also don't give him a chance to tip off...

Mo Hua is pretty good at catching people, but he still wants to hear what Uncle Gu, or Dao Tingsi, would do.

After he has a solution, he will ask Uncle Gu to "check the answer" so that he can find out the gaps and keep improving.

Gu Changhuai's mind was on Jia Ren and Huo Buddha, and he had no doubts about it. He said calmly:

"Set up traps and formations on the road he must pass to ambush..."

"Put shackles on the ground and poison the shackles..."

"Use a sonic boom formation to make him lose consciousness for a short time..."

"Take the opportunity to subdue him..."

"Then use spiritual locks to seal his limbs..."

"Prepare carefully, act quickly, and strike hard. Don't give him a chance to fight back, and don't give him a chance to commit suicide..."

"This is the basic process of arresting people by the Daoting Division..."

...

Gu Changhuai was talking here, and Mo Hua was nodding beside him.

Although he knew some things before, the details of the techniques were very different, and there were many places to learn from...

After Gu Changhuai finished speaking, he reminded Mo Hua:

"Remember, there are three rules, don't do anything."

"Yeah."

Mo Hua agreed.

Gu Changhuai nodded slightly, and then his figure flashed, and after a few ups and downs on the rugged rocks, he rushed to Jia Ren's front.

Mo Hua also followed quietly.

But he just hid aside, released his spiritual sense, and watched honestly.

Jia Ren was still walking forward without knowing anything.

His destination was a cliff in front.

Gu Changhuai laid several array plates specially made by Dao Tingsi in front of the cliff, and buried several shackles underground.

His technique was skillful and his movements were clean and neat.

And the traps were also well arranged.

Mo Hua, with a humble and studious attitude, also silently memorized the techniques and habits of Dao Tingsi in setting traps.

After everything was ready, Gu Changhuai ambushed on the side.

A moment later, Jia Ren appeared.

He looked around and found nothing unusual, so he walked towards the cliff step by step, and at the same time took out the storage bag from his body and wanted to throw it down the cliff.

After just a few steps, there was a "click" under his feet, and a burst of severe pain came.

"Not good!"

Jia Ren looked down and saw a shackle, like a tiger's mouth, biting his calf.

There was green poison on the shackle.

The poison spread to his whole body along the blood.

The numbness gradually spread.

Trap, anesthetic!

Jia Ren's expression changed drastically. Regardless of anything, he endured the pain and pulled hard, tearing off a large piece of meat on his calf, breaking free from the shackles, and turned to run.

But at this moment, the sonic boom array at the four corners exploded.

Mo Hua was outside the array and only heard a subtle and dull noise.

But Jia Ren, who was inside the array, felt dizzy, tinnitus and pain, and for a moment, his consciousness was a little sluggish.

His flesh and blood seemed to be trembling due to the sound waves.

But in just a moment, one of Jia Ren's jade pendants broke, a clear light flashed, and Jia Ren came back to his senses.

"The sonic boom array of the Daoting Division?"

Jia Ren's pupils trembled, and he reached out and took out a talisman from his body.

But in just a moment, a wind blade cut his arm, leaving a bloody mark, and the talisman fell off.

This wind blade technique was swift and sharp.

When Jia Ren turned his head, he saw Gu Changhuai, who looked indifferent.

Sensing Gu Changhuai's breath, Jia Ren showed despair.

"Golden Pill?!"

Before Jia Ren could do anything, Gu Changhuai moved like the wind and was close to Jia Ren. He grabbed Jia Ren's shoulder with one hand, and his spiritual power surged, instantly crushing Jia Ren's left arm.

Jia Ren was sweating in pain, his eyes were horrified, and then he shook his right hand, pinched a few pills in his sleeve, and took the opportunity to stuff them into his mouth.

Gu Changhuai pointed his hand, and a wind blade cut the tendons of Jia Ren's right hand.

Jia Ren's right hand dropped, and a few pills fell to the ground.

The pills were a gloomy green.

Gu Changhuai was experienced and could tell at a glance that these were lethal poison pills.

"Want to commit suicide?"

Gu Changhuai's eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked up and saw that Jia Ren had bitten a tooth and wanted to swallow it.

Poison hidden in the teeth?

Gu Changhuai's eyes flashed coldly, and his right hand quickly strangled Jia Ren's neck, and his left hand suddenly punched Jia Ren's abdomen.

Jia Ren groaned in pain and spat out the poisoned teeth in his mouth.

He wanted to resist and struggle again, but his means had been exhausted, even the tricks of seeking death were broken.

At the same time, the anesthetic on the shackles had flowed all over his body with blood.

Jia Ren's eyes were not good, but his consciousness gradually became dim, and he closed his eyes and fainted.

Gu Changhuai took out the chain and locked all of Jia Ren's limbs, then removed his teeth, picked him up, and threw him behind a hidden rock.

At this point, Jia Ren was captured.

Mo Hua looked a little dazed.

This Uncle Gu seemed to be a little different from what he thought.

He looked very conceited and looked like he didn't take people seriously.

But he acted very meticulously.

Even as a Jindan Dianshi, he was extremely careful and cautious when capturing a foundation-building cultivator. He planned carefully and did not allow any accidents.

He did not give the other party any chance to escape.

He did not even give him a chance to commit suicide!

Mo Hua felt that he benefited a lot.

During the whole process, Mo Hua listened to Gu Changhuai's words honestly and did not intervene rashly.

At this time, Jia Ren had been subdued.

Mo Hua came out of his hiding place and ran to Gu Changhuai. Looking at the unconscious Jia Ren, he was a little surprised:

"This Jia Ren actually thought about committing suicide?"

He had not met this kind of criminal cultivator who wanted to die immediately after being caught and felt that there was no hope.

Gu Changhuai frowned and said in a deep voice:

"I was just in case, so I did everything I should do, but I didn't expect that this Jia Ren would really rather die than fall into my hands..."

"This means..."

Gu Changhuai's eyes condensed slightly.

Mo Hua added: "...This man knows a lot, and has a lot of secrets!"

Maybe he is really related to the Xie family's murder case, and it is also very likely that he really has clues about the Fire Buddha.

He may even know more things...

"Do we want to interrogate him now?" Mo Hua asked.

"Yes."

Gu Changhuai nodded.

But before that, we need to search the storage bag as usual.

Gu Changhuai opened all the four or five storage bags on Jia Ren that he was going to discard.

A bloody smell came over the place.

As expected, it was full of "stolen goods".

Some of them were spiritual weapons, or ghost-head knives, or bone-cutting swords, or some ripped-open blade halberds, all of which were stained with blood.

When Mo Hua saw the blood, he felt a buzzing in his mind and his eyes turned red.

In the sea of ​​fire, the Xie family monks died tragically and wailed, and the hideous and evil figures reappeared in his mind.

"This is...the blood of the Xie family monks." Mo Hua said in a concentrated voice.

Gu Changhuai was startled, "How do you know?"

Mo Hua said, "I saw it..."

Gu Changhuai was helpless, "Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask..."

In addition to these bloody weapons, there are also some "clean" spiritual weapons.

There is no blood on them, and they seem to be untainted by killing.

They are just ordinary spiritual weapons, and they are not used for killing.

For lighting, ventilation, fire prevention, dust removal, burning incense and concentrating the mind...everything is available.

These are some spiritual weapons commonly used in the lives of cultivators.

Mo Hua and the others were a little surprised.

"Are these things from the Xie family?"

"They killed the people of the Xie family and robbed the Xie family's property?"

But after robbing, they didn't keep it for themselves, so why throw it away now?

Wouldn't it be a waste of money?

It can't be that they killed people and robbed them on a whim.

After calming down and regretting, he was afraid of being discovered by the Daoting Division, so he threw away the stolen goods and destroyed the evidence...

The evil cultivators of Huo Buddha killed countless people, but they didn't seem like this kind of people...

Gu Changhuai looked cautiously, frowning and thinking.

Mo Hua remembered something, his eyes lit up, "Could they... be looking for something?"

Gu Changhuai looked at Mo Hua, "Looking for something?"

"Yes." Mo Hua considered, "They wiped out the entire Xie family because they wanted to find something from the Xie family..."

"This Jia Ren went to the Xie family at first, and also wanted to steal this thing..."

"But he didn't steal it..."

"And this thing is very important, they must get it."

"So Huo Buddha wiped out the Xie family."

"They collected all the things of the Xie family, brought them out to search carefully, and then burned the Xie family to eliminate all traces..."

"As for these things to be thrown away..."

"Because they have searched and found nothing, so they have to throw away the extra things..."

"And these, after killing and exterminating the whole family, the spiritual tools with the blood of the Xie family monks must also be thrown away..."

"So as not to leave evidence and be caught by the Daoting Division..."

"Or, to leave cause and effect and be calculated by others..."

If these "stolen goods" are to be forcibly destroyed with the refining furnace, it will make too much noise and take too long.

It is better to use the terrain of Bishan City to abandon these "stolen goods" in the cliffs and ravines, quietly and without anyone knowing.

Even if they are discovered later, it will be unknown how many years later.

Gu Changhuai was a little surprised.

This child, his little brain is really fast, and it seems to make sense.

He thought about it and nodded: "There is such a possibility, but it is only a possibility. Don't be preconceived."

"Before the truth is known, it is easy to go astray if you think about the problem with preconceived ideas..."

Gu Changhuai reminded.

"Yes."

Mo Hua nodded.

Having said that, Mo Hua still felt that his guess was somewhat possible.

At least, it was also a way of thinking.

Gu Changhuai flipped through Jia Ren's storage bag again.

Jia Ren's storage bag was very ordinary.

Like ordinary cultivators, it contained spiritual stones, elixirs, spiritual tools, and some secret jade slips.

But Mo Hua looked at it and found nothing special.

There were no signs of sealing, encryption, or erasure on the jade slips.

Obviously, Jia Ren was very cautious and did not carry important things with him.

Mo Hua looked at everything again.

These things have evidence, but few clues.

It can only prove that Jia Ren is related to the Xie family's murder case, and it is very likely that he helped to scout the place beforehand and helped to sell the stolen goods afterwards. This kind of relationship is deeply involved from beginning to end.

But other than that, there are no other clues.

Especially the clues of Fire Buddha.

In this case, Jia Ren can only be interrogated.

Gu Changhuai took out a pill and fed it to Jia Ren. In less than an incense stick of time, Jia Ren frowned and woke up.

He slowly opened his eyes.

What he saw was Gu Changhuai, that handsome but "hateful" face.

Gu Changhuai said coldly: "Are you a member of the Fire Buddha?"

Jia Ren sneered to himself, with an expression of waiting to die, and did not speak.

Gu Changhuai asked one after another:

"Where is the Fire Buddha?"

"Why do you want to destroy the entire Xie family?"

"What is your relationship with the Fire Buddha?"

But Jia Ren was like a walking corpse, without any reaction, as if he didn't care about life and death.

Gu Changhuai frowned and lost his patience.

In this case, he had to torture him.

Gu Changhuai took out a second-grade "branding iron" torture instrument, which was engraved with a fire formation. It burned red and burned his body, burning his skin and flesh.

But Jia Ren felt pain and his face twitched when the iron was applied, but he still didn't say a word.

Mo Hua, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

"Uncle Gu, yours doesn't seem to work..."

Mo Hua silently took out his "iron plate", "How about trying mine?"

Gu Changhuai looked at the bloodstained iron plate and was stunned.

Jia Ren, who was standing by, heard the crisp voice and realized that there was someone else here.

But why was this voice so familiar?

And it was very similar to that little ghost that he wanted to chop into pieces...

Jia Ren looked sideways with difficulty and took a look.

A fair little face with beautiful eyebrows and eyes.

Jia Ren, who was like a walking corpse, suddenly "resurrected" and said with bloodshot eyes:

"It's... you?!"

Thank you Feng Fong, Huang Tiantian~, Jade Box Legend, and Dreaming of Mom's Purpose for your rewards~
