Chapter 617 Gu Changhuai

“Three days ago, outside the boundary of Qianxuezhou, south of Canglang Mountain, on Luopan Mountain Road, three family disciples died and their storage bags were stolen…”

“The Daoting Division inquired and went to investigate…”

“These three disciples were all in the foundation building stage. After a gathering to discuss the Dao, they returned to the sect along Luopan Mountain Road. On the way to Canglang Mountain, they were approached unnoticed by someone who approached them from behind and stabbed them in the chest one by one with a dagger spiritual weapon quenched with water poison.”

“And the three of them didn’t notice anything until they died…”

“The monks going up and down the mountain didn’t see any suspicious monks passing by…”

“I don’t know who the murderer is…”

There is a line of notes at the end:

“The monk who committed the crime must be cunning, very smart, and extremely proficient in the art of concealment…”

“Those who accept this reward must be very cautious!”

Here it comes!

Mo Hua was refreshed.

Concealment technique!

But it was a little different from what he thought...

He thought that the art of concealment was used to steal things, but he didn't expect that someone would rely on the means of concealment to secretly kill people, and the means were quite cruel.

Mo Hua immediately used the Taixu Order to send a nonsense message to Murong Caiyun:

"Senior sister, are you there?"

After a moment, Murong Caiyun replied helplessly:

"What's the matter, tell me."

"Senior sister, are you free? Do you want to take a task?"

Without waiting for Murong Caiyun to answer, Mo Hua hurriedly said: "I found a good task, do you want to take it? If you take it, can you take me with you?"

"My authority is too low, and I am not allowed to take many tasks."

Murong Caiyun hesitated for a moment and sent a letter:

"What task?"

Mo Hua immediately sent the entry of "a strange robbery and murder case".

Murong Caiyun looked at it for a long time, but didn't understand what was so "good" about this "good task"...

Robbery and murder case

The three people died in an unclear way. No one knows who the murderer is, what he looks like, what kind of skills he uses, whether he has accomplices, whether he has a criminal record, or what realm he has reached.

Based on the situation, it can only be speculated that this person is extremely proficient in the art of concealment.

But this is just speculation.

Apart from that, there are no clues.

Even if it is just to find someone, it will take a lot of time, not to mention the subsequent tracking and arresting. It is likely that it will take a lot of time and still be in vain.

Murong Caiyun wanted to refuse tactfully, but at this time, she saw a series of "Senior Sister, Senior Sister, Senior Sister, please take it..." in the Taixu Order.

She seemed to see Mo Hua looking at her expectantly with a pair of watery eyes.

Murong Caiyun couldn't bear to refuse.

Even thinking of the disappointment of Mo Hua, the little junior brother, after the refusal, she felt a sense of guilt in her heart...

Murong Caiyun sighed.

Forget it, just take it.

It doesn't matter if it can't be completed, but it's a waste of two days of rest. There have been times when we have come up empty-handed before.

Murong Caiyun agreed, "Okay..."

Mo Hua was very happy, "Thank you, Senior Sister!"

Senior Sister Murong, you are really a good person!

As expected, Murong Caiyun accepted the reward for "Hidden Robbery and Murder" and invited Mo Hua.

Mo Hua couldn't wait to "agree".

In this way, the investigation of the "Hidden Robbery and Murder Case" was finalized.

Mo Hua's consciousness withdrew from Taixu Order, but he found that Cheng Mo and the others were staring at him.

"What's wrong?"

Mo Hua looked confused.

"You..." Situ Jian asked curiously, "What are you looking at in Taixu Order?"

Mo Hua blinked.

Authority, reward, merit, these things are the backdoors opened by Mr. Xun for himself.

It's not good to tell others.

Moreover, it is too early for them to do such things as "offering a reward, hunting down criminals, and hunting down evildoers"...

They were raised in the family and "not experienced in the world", so they could not bear such risks.

I am different, I am a "young senior brother".

I can do such dangerous things by myself.

Mo Hua nodded with a sense of "responsibility", and then found an excuse:

"I am looking at the class schedule to see what classes I will have and what spells I will learn..."

The other disciples stared at Mo Hua suspiciously.

That expression seemed to say, I believe you...

Mo Hua saw that they did not believe him, so he had to say:

"Okay, I was just thinking about how much homework I should assign to you during the formation class..."

The crowd was instantly indignant.

No one did not believe it.

"Mo Hua!"

"Can we still be friends?"

"I advise you to take care of yourself..."

"I decide my formation level, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"

"Don't forget about the friendship of fellow disciples!"

"Formation idiot" Cheng Mo was almost crying, "Brother, please, that's enough, I can't finish so much homework..."

Mo Hua showed a reluctant look and sighed:

"In that case, forget it."

Cheng Mo immediately smiled, put his arm around Mo Hua's shoulders, and said loudly: "Okay! From now on, you are my brother, my dear brother!"

...

Two days later, ten-day break.

To be on the safe side, Mo Hua asked for another day off, which made a total of three days.

After class, Mo Hua left the mountain gate of Taixu Gate and met with everyone at the old place, that is, the big rock at the foot of Taixu Gate.

This time there were still five people.

Murong Caiyun, Ouyang Feng, Hua Qianqian, and Shangguan Xu were all there.

Shangguan Xu’s injuries have healed and he can fight again.

Although the Shangguan family is a large family, it also has many disciples. Shangguan Xu is a direct descendant, but not a core direct descendant, so merits and achievements have to be earned by one's own efforts.

Hua Qianqian is the daughter of a true elder of Baihua Valley. She is very favored and will definitely enter the inner gate of Baihua Valley and receive the true teachings of Baihua Valley in the future.

But she doesn't want others to gossip. She wants to earn merits by herself and be promoted to a true disciple of the inner gate of Baihua Valley.

These are what Mo Hua learned from Senior Sister Murong, and then combined with the cases of disciples around him, he figured it out by himself.

It is estimated to be more or less the same.

Anyway, in Qianxuezhou, there are so many disciples of the sects, and no one doesn't want to earn merits.

Shangguan Xu and Mo Hua are more familiar with each other, and nodded and smiled.

Hua Qianqian also smiled and greeted Mo Hua with a bright look.

But Mo Hua always felt that the look in the eyes of this Senior Sister Hua when looking at him had a little "evil intention".

I don't know what she was thinking in her heart.

Seeing Mo Hua looking at her, Hua Qianqian's eyes were even more bright and shining, revealing a strange brilliance.

Mo Hua felt a little dangerous, so he immediately moved closer to Senior Sister Murong.

Murong Caiyun looked helpless.

After everyone gathered, they began to head to the vicinity of Canglang Mountain.

Canglang Mountain is not far from Qianxuezhou, and the fifth-grade Dao Tingsi, which is in charge of Qianxuezhou, is on the way to Canglang Mountain.

Several people still have to go to Dao Tingsi first to confirm their identities, accept the reward, and ask for clues about the deceased.

The sound of horse hooves ticked, and after more than an hour, they arrived at Dao Tingsi.

Mo Hua got off the car and looked up. What he saw was an extremely magnificent and majestic Tingsi Pavilion, with a towering attic, flying eaves and golden wings, dignified and solemn.

It was like a seal that guarded the mountain, falling in the mountains, guarding the entire Qianxuezhou.

There were seven big characters on it: Qianxuezhou Dao Tingsi.

This is the fifth-grade Daotingsi in Qianxuezhou...

Mo Hua was shocked.

In front of such a grand and solemn Daotingsi, Mo Hua felt like a small sapling at the foot of a mountain, weak and vulnerable.

Ouyang Feng patted Mo Hua's shoulder and said softly:

"This majesty is a bit of bluffing. You will know it after you come here a few more times..."

Mo Hua was startled, looked up and looked again, and suddenly said:

"Formation?"

Ouyang Feng was a little surprised, and then smiled:

"Yes, when this Daotingsi attic was built, a formation that increases majesty was integrated, so when others see it for the first time, they will feel insignificant and feel..."

Ouyang Feng pointed upwards and whispered, "The authority of the Daoting is great and inviolable..."

"So that's it..."

Mo Hua nodded.

Knowing the trick, his awe in his heart was reduced a little, and then he followed Murong Caiyun and walked in, and was even more disappointed.

From the outside, this Daotingsi is indeed majestic.

But from the inside, it is overstaffed, the organization is complicated, and the atmosphere is gloomy.

Moreover, most of the executive officers and the director have stern faces, and when they speak, they are rigid and have a hint of condescending contempt.

The face is ugly and the words are unpleasant.

If it is a third or fourth rank, it is fine.

A few small second-rank executive officers also look great.

Occasionally, there are Daotingsi monks who look capable, sharp, and have deep cultivation. They are very powerful at first glance, but there are very few, and they seem out of tune with the atmosphere of the entire Daotingsi.

Mo Hua wanted to ask something, but he thought that there are ears on the wall, not to mention that there are so many great monks in the fifth-rank Daotingsi, and their words may be overheard as soon as they open their mouths, so he held back and didn't ask.

Murong Caiyun took the lead, checked the identity, accepted the reward, and then received a few files and completed the formalities.

She was a child of an aristocratic family and a disciple of Taixu Sect. She had a good appearance and talent. The cultivators from Daotingsi were very polite.

She didn't receive any cold reception or harassment during the trip.

"So they treat people differently based on their appearance..."

Mo Hua muttered to herself.

When they were about to leave, they were stopped. A supervisor said, "Wait a minute. Gu Diansi has something to tell you..."

Gu Diansi?

Mo Hua was slightly startled and her heart skipped a beat. Could it be...

After a while, a man came from a distance. Mo Hua took a look and thought to himself...

The man was handsome, wearing a Daotingsi robe, and was elegant. His attitude was not arrogant, but his eyebrows revealed a bit of arrogance.

It was Gu Changhuai, the son of the Gu family, who had met Mo Hua several times.

Gu Changhuai's voice was cold, calm, and calm, but also revealed a bit of arrogance:

"This matter is very tricky. I don't want you disciples to take it. I notified the Daoting Division and just withdrew the task, but found that you have already taken it..."

"Everything has its rules. If you take it, there is nothing I can do, but there are a few points I want to remind you of..."

Gu Changhuai walked and talked to himself, and even his sharp eyes didn't look at Murong Caiyun and others.

Until the corner of his eye swept Mo Hua...

Gu Changhuai was obviously stunned for a moment.

Mo Hua could even see that Gu Changhuai blinked slightly, as if to confirm whether he had seen the wrong person.

An innocent and well-behaved face, a pair of clear and deep eyes, there is no second one in the entire Qianxuezhou world, he can't make a mistake.

Gu Changhuai was silent for a moment, and slowly said:

"Mo...Hua?"

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded repeatedly and said politely: "Hello, Uncle Gu."

Murong Caiyun looked a little surprised. The officer beside him obviously didn't expect that Mo Hua actually knew Gu Changhuai.

Gu Changhuai tried his best to control his emotions, but he couldn't help asking Mo Hua:

"What are you doing here?"

Mo Hua pointed at Murong Caiyun, "My senior sister and I are here to receive the reward."

Gu Changhuai frowned, "What reward?"

Mo Hua said, "It's the reward you just mentioned..."

Gu Changhuai's eyelids twitched, looking at Mo Hua, who still had a childish face, and said in confusion: "You are just getting started..."

How can you do tasks when you are just getting started?

You can also find senior brothers and sisters to follow?

This kid...is so proud?

Gu Changhuai didn't understand it.

Mo Hua shook his head and corrected: "It's not that I just got started, I have been getting started for half a year!"

The implication was that he was already very remarkable.

Gu Changhuai looked at it with a headache.

But in front of so many people, he was embarrassed to "reminisce" with Mo Hua again, so he nodded coldly with a serious expression.

"I know."

Gu Changhuai glanced at Mo Hua again and started talking about business:

"The murderer is probably in the middle stage of foundation building. He is proficient in hiding. His methods are calm and cruel. He is extremely secretive and hard to guard against..."

"In the late stage of foundation building, even cultivators who have just entered the late stage of foundation building are very dangerous when encountering such cultivators who are good at "hidden killing".

"When you are caught off guard by the hidden close to you, you can't defend against his killing moves..."

"You are all disciples of the sect and have little experience. It is difficult for you to be the opponent of such a cunning and vicious cultivator."

"And this murderer must be a habitual offender."

"I checked the files. There is a criminal who is good at hiding and killing. There is a person who is most consistent. His real name, Dao Tingsi did not find it, but it is said that the cultivators on the road call him "Hidden Second"..."

Hidden Second...

Ouyang Feng and others were all thoughtful.

Only Mo Hua nodded silently, knowing that his guess was correct.

Gu Changhuai was even more stunned when he saw this.

Could it be that Mo Hua's reaction... had known for a long time that the murderer was this Yin Lao Er?

He had spent a long time looking through the secret files of the Dao Ting driver to find out. How did Mo Hua, a young cultivator living deep in the sect, know this?

This child is very strange...

Gu Changhuai looked at Mo Hua deeply.

Mo Hua noticed Gu Changhuai's gaze and immediately looked at his nose and mouth, pretending to be honest with a serious face.

Gu Changhuai continued:

"This kind of experienced criminal cultivator is also good at hiding. Originally, the third-rank Dianshi should have taken action and killed him with thunderous means..."

"But the Dao Ting Division has limited manpower. They can catch criminal cultivators of the same rank as the cultivators of the same rank."

"It is not the turn of the Jindan to catch the criminal cultivators who have established their foundation."

"But this person is really difficult to deal with, so I want to tell you that if you cancel the mission, there will be no punishment."

Ouyang Feng and the others looked at each other and shook their heads.

They are all favored by heaven, and they are all proud in their hearts.

A sinner in the middle stage of foundation building, no matter how difficult it is, is not enough to make them retreat.

Gu Changhuai showed some praise in his eyes, and handed over a few files:

"This is the file of Yin Laoer, which contains his hometown, skills, Taoism, etc. You should take a close look and be on guard."

Murong Caiyun took the file and bowed:

"Thank you, Gu Dianshi."

Gu Changhuai nodded slightly, turned around and left, but when he left, he glanced at Mo Hua again, and saw that Mo Hua looked relaxed and didn't know the benefits, so he couldn't help frowning.

Yin Laoer is insidious and cunning, and it is difficult to deal with.

Even experienced executives may not be able to see through Yin Laoer's concealment, let alone prevent Yin Laoer's sneak attack.

He didn't know why Mo Hua, this kid, followed him to join in the fun.

Gu Changhuai thought that Mo Hua, this kid, looked cute, but strange and weird, and didn't want to care about him.

But after thinking about it, considering that he saved Yu'er and was cared for by his cousin, Gu Changhuai still sighed slightly and reminded him:

"Be careful..."

Mo Hua was slightly stunned.

The others were even more surprised.

Especially the Director of Daoting Division, he didn't expect that Gu Dianshi, who was always cold and kept strangers away, would actually worry about others...

It was really weird...

Mo Hua smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Gu."

Gu Changhuai nodded and turned to leave.

Everything was done, and then everyone set off to arrest Yin Laoer.

According to the file records, Yin Laoer, who lived for more than 200 years, was once a disciple of Wuyin Sect, one of the 100 sects in Qianzhou.

But the inheritance of Wuyin Sect was too unconventional, and it was difficult to accept disciples, so it gradually declined, and eventually became insolvent, sold the mountain gate, and moved out of Qianxuezhou fifty years ago.

It is normal for sects to rise and fall.

But the Five Hidden Sect left, but the Second Hidden Sect stayed, and relied on the unique skills of the Five Hidden Sect to do evil.

This unique skill is a way to hide, called: the Small Five Elements Stealth Technique.

Mo Hua was delighted.

The Small Five Elements...

His spiritual roots are also the Small Five Elements spiritual roots. He felt that this stealth technique was as if it was tailor-made for him.

The calculation of the heavenly secrets was really useful.

Several people left the Daoting Division.

Murong Caiyun and others, remembering Gu Diansi's words, still looked a little solemn.

Mo Hua, however, walked briskly and felt relaxed.

He felt that the Small Five Elements Stealth Technique was already waving to him.

Mo Hua is ordinary in other aspects, except for his strong spiritual awareness.

Therefore, he likes and is best at bullying monks who are good at hiding, sneaking, and sneaking around...

...

At this moment, in the deep mountains of Canglang Mountain.

A figure suddenly appeared in the originally empty forest.

This is a skinny, short, sinister-looking monk with wrinkles.

He looked around and then frowned.

After killing three people, he ran to this deep mountain to avoid the limelight.

This is also what he usually does.

But in the past few days, he always felt a little frightened.

It was as if he was being targeted by some "bad thing" with bad intentions...

Yin Lao Er was puzzled.

For no reason, without leaving any traces, who could target him, and how could he target him?

Yin Lao Er shook his head.

In any case, this is a critical moment, and we must endure it and not make any mistakes.

Those three people were already an oversight.

If anything goes wrong again, Mr. Tu will definitely kill me, dismember me, and sacrifice me to the demon slaves of the Lord God.

Yin Lao Er shuddered.

He liked to disembowel people, but he didn't like to be disemboweled and fed to those half-human, half-demon creatures...
