Chapter 88 Inquiry (First Update)

After a day of trouble, Mo Hua wanted to go to bed early, but couldn't. After thinking about it, he went to the sea of ​​consciousness and practiced the formation on the stone tablet all night.

When drawing the formation, the mind is not distracted, and the mood is easier to calm down.

The next day, Zhang Lan found Mo Hua.

He sat on an eight-immortal table in the corner of the restaurant. There were several plates of side dishes and a pot of wine on the table.

Zhang Lan poured himself a glass of wine and looked at Mo Hua and said, "Tell me, what happened yesterday?"

"What happened?"

Zhang Lan curled his lips, "Don't play dumb, Qian Xing's matter."

"He bullied me, and then Dazhu and his brothers helped, and then they fought, and then you came." Mo Hua said evasively.

The whole story was recorded, but the key content was not there. Zhang Lan could not help but said:

"Don't fool me. You used that formation, right?"

Mo Hua was surprised. "Uncle Zhang, did you see it all?"

"No," Zhang Lan took a sip of wine. "If I had seen it, how could I let them do it so recklessly?"

Mo Hua asked in confusion, "Then how do you know that it was a formation, not a spell?"

After the Earth Fire Formation exploded, the spiritual paper turned into ashes. Unless you saw it with your own eyes, no one would know that it was Mo Hua who hurt Qian Xing with the formation.

"Rain leaves traces, wild geese leave sounds, and everything a cultivator does will leave traces. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean that others can't see it either."

"What are the traces?" Mo Hua asked humbly.

"The paper used in the formation leaves embers after burning, which is different from the ashes left by other things. After the formation explodes, the remaining spiritual energy is easy to distinguish. If you are knowledgeable, you can even tell which formation you used. In addition, there are not many spells that can be used in the Qi Refining Period. Apart from spells, only talismans and formations have such power. Talismans are expensive and easier to identify. So when you think about it, it can only be formations..." Zhang Lan talked about this matter with a confident look.

"So that's how it is," Mo Hua suddenly realized, "Then how to erase these traces?"

"The ashes of the spiritual paper will disperse when it encounters wind, melt when it encounters water, or directly use other array media to draw the array, so that there will be no residual ashes; the spiritual energy remaining after the explosion of the array can be artificially confused, but it doesn't matter, normal cultivators can't tell the difference between the array and the spiritual energy of the cultivator, and there is..."

As Zhang Lan was talking, he realized that something was wrong. It seemed that he was teaching Mo Hua to "destroy the body and cover up the traces" after doing something bad...

"What else?" Mo Hua was listening with relish.

Zhang Lan coughed, "These are not the key points, just tell me, did you injure Qian Xing with the explosion."

"No." Mo Hua is not stupid, how could he admit it and cause trouble for no reason.

Zhang Lan looked unconvinced.

"Uncle Zhang, think about it, I am only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, how could I draw such a powerful array?"

"Well, this excuse is not bad." Zhang Lan nodded perfunctorily.

"Right," Mo Hua reacted as soon as he finished speaking and corrected himself: "This is a fact, not an excuse!"

Zhang Lan said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I understand. Don't worry, I just want to know what happened, but I won't really send you to the Daoting Division for interrogation."

"Don't you think the Daoting Division cares?"

"Even if the Daoting Division cares, it's impossible for them to not distinguish right from wrong. In your eyes, are the Daoting Division in collusion with the aristocratic families?"

"Yes." Mo Hua nodded honestly.

It would be strange if the Daoting Division and the aristocratic families didn't collude with each other.

Zhang Lan choked on the wine, thought about it but couldn't give any examples to deny it, so he had to prove his innocence: "Okay, there are indeed collusion, but at least I am not, that's OK."

Mo Hua looked at him with a little sympathy, and whispered: "Uncle Zhang, are you being excluded, so they don't play with you?"

Zhang Lan's head hurt a little, and his heart was a little tired. Just when he was about to explain, he suddenly realized that the topic was dragged to some place by this kid, and he hadn't finished asking what he wanted to ask.

Zhang Lan glared at Mo Hua: "Don't beat around the bush, I'll tell you about Qian Xing."

"Oh." Mo Hua sat obediently, anyway, he wouldn't say anything.

But both of them knew about this matter, but they just didn't say it.

Zhang Lan didn't want to pursue it, so he said: "You are only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and you really can't draw this kind of formation, so the person who hurt Qian Xing must not be you."

"Who could it be?" Mo Hua asked tentatively.

Zhang Lan raised his eyebrows and said, "Qian Xing must have offended many people by being domineering. This time he made trouble in the street, and some monks took the opportunity to attack him secretly. As for who did it, we need to spend time to investigate..."

Mo Hua admired him very much. Those who could enter the Dao Ting Division were indeed talented. He should learn more about this ability to lie with open eyes.

"Master Zhang, thank you for your hard work. I will treat you to this meal!" Mo Hua patted his chest and said generously.

"Oh?" Zhang Lan said jokingly, "In that case, let's have two more plates of beef and two pots of fine wine!"

Mo Hua was a little embarrassed: "It's a small business, so it's enough."

Zhang Lan couldn't help laughing.

"By the way, do you have a grudge against Qian Xing? Why did he deliberately make things difficult for you?" Zhang Lan suddenly remembered and asked.

Mo Hua thought for a moment and said, "No grudge, he asked me to do something for him, I didn't agree, so he got angry."

"That's it?"

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded, "He said he wanted to kill me and throw me into the mountains to be eaten by monsters, so that the Dao Tingsi couldn't find him..."

"Damn it!" Zhang Lan slapped the table in anger, and other diners looked at him. Zhang Lan had to cough and cover up, "Good wine!"

Mo Hua couldn't help but say, "You broke our table."

The table was slapped by Zhang Lan, and there were several cracks.

Zhang Lan usually restrained his blood and spiritual power, but he was angry at this time, so he used a little force.

"Keep the account and deduct it from my spiritual stone." Zhang Lan said embarrassedly.

Mo Hua just said it casually, and then asked a question that puzzled him:

"Uncle Zhang, Qian Xing, you wouldn't really kill anyone, right..."

Most of the cultivators that Mo Hua had seen growing up were struggling for a living. Even if there were fights, they were with monsters. There were very few cases of cultivators killing each other.

So when Qian Xing wanted to kill someone after a disagreement, Mo Hua was still very surprised. Moreover, Qian Xing's casual way of talking about killing people, and hanging people in the mountains and letting monsters eat them one bite at a time, if he hadn't really done it, he probably wouldn't say it so confidently.

This was also the first time that Mo Hua personally experienced the dangers and unpredictability hidden under the ordinary daily life.

Zhang Lan's expression gradually became serious, "It's not impossible..."

"Will Daotingsi not care?"

"If someone reports the case, Daotingsi will care. If there are clues, Daotingsi will investigate. If there is solid evidence, Daotingsi will convict. Otherwise, they will either not be able to intervene at all, or even if they intervene, there will be no results, and it will end up in vain."

Then what Qian Xing did will probably end in vain...

A lot of people are scolding me...

This plot is not that bad...

It's like going home from school every day, and suddenly being blocked by the school bully. It's obvious that no matter what you say, you will not be let go, so the protagonist doesn't want to talk nonsense.

The protagonist's formation level is already very strong compared to his peers. Although he will not take the initiative to cause trouble, it does not mean that he will be afraid of trouble.

The protagonist solved his own problems and won the fight. The adults will naturally take action to solve the following things.

The demon hunters are united and protect their shortcomings. They fight with demons every day and are also bloody. Naturally, they will not watch the demon hunters' children being bullied.

It's not just the protagonist, it's the same for other children.

Besides, the protagonist has a wide network of contacts, including alchemists, weapon refiners, Dao Tingsi, and his father who can speak among the demon hunters, as well as masters like Aunt Xue and Mr. Zhuang.

In this case, why should he endure when others bully him?

It's prudent to endure when you don't have the ability, but it's cowardly to endure when you have the ability...

In addition, although many people criticize me, the first order and follow-up order are actually okay, at least for a newcomer, it's not bad, and it's within expectations.

Let's stop here, I will concentrate on writing, and I will read fewer comments. I really don't want to write a word after being criticized too much...

Finally, thank you all for your support, and I'll update ten more today.
