Asking About Longevity Chapter 818

Chapter 818 Water Prison Inheritance

An hour ago, everything was fine.

In the blink of an eye, he killed a Daotingsi executive who was from the Xiao family? !

Gu Changhuai took a deep breath.

This brat!

In terms of his ability to stab Lou Zi, he is really incredible!

In the entire Taixu Sect, of all the disciples combined, probably no one can compare to him.

"What's going on?" Gu Changhuai asked anxiously.

Ink painting: "I..."

"Forget it, don't say it yet, the order says it's not safe..." Gu Changhuai said.

Ever since he saw the ink painting easily and with a few tinkerings restoring the erased words in the order, he no longer trusted the confidentiality of the order.

Even if it is a secret order issued by Daotingsi.

"Does anyone else know?"

"Not yet." Mo Hua said.

Yu Canghai is considered an insider, not an "other" person.

As for this group of masked monks, they are all dead, so naturally they are no longer considered "human".

Gu Changhuai breathed a sigh of relief, "Stay where you are and don't move. Cover yourself a little and don't let others find out. I shouldn't need to teach you this."

"Yeah, I understand." Mo Hua said.

After putting away the messenger, Gu Changhuai felt anxious and couldn't wait to get up and leave, but was suddenly stopped by a gentle voice.

"Gu Diansi, where are you going?"

Gu Changhuai turned his head and saw Xiao Diansi with narrowed eyes and a smile on his face.

This Xiao Diansi is the powerful Diansi of the Xiao family in the Qianxue Daoting Division, and has served for more than 150 years.

He has a smile on his face all year round, but he is hypocritical, smiling but not smiling.

Originally, Gu Changhuai didn't think anything of it.

But a long time ago, Mo Hua met Xiao Diansi and secretly nicknamed him "Smiling Tiger".

Now, every time Gu Changhuai sees Xiao Diansi, the words "Smiling Tiger" will come to mind involuntarily.

"Smile...Xiao Diansi," Gu Changhuai's brows twitched slightly, and he almost read out the nickname, "...I have something that I need to deal with."

"Oh?" Xiao Diansi smiled, "What's so important?"

The chief executive of your Xiao family was killed.

Gu Changhuai said silently in his heart.

But on the surface, he just said: "There is a criminal cultivator who was killed by an explosion during the arrest. I will go and take a look."

Xiao Diansi disagreed, "Since he is a criminal cultivator and is guilty, he deserves to be killed by the explosion. Why does Gu Diansi need to personally take action?"

Gu Changhuai's expression was a little subtle, and then he said calmly:

"I'm not worried, I want to take a look."

"Then where is Xia Diansi..." Xiao Diansi looked hesitant.

"I will explain it later." Gu Changhuai said.

Xiao Diansi shook his head and sighed: "Gu Diansi, I'm not telling you. Diligence is certainly a good thing, but sometimes you have to look at the direction of the wind. This Xia Diansi..."

He pointed upward and lowered his voice, "He was sent from above. If he offends me, I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain, and it will be very detrimental to Gu Diansi's career."

Above, it naturally refers to Daoting.

Gu Changhuai naturally understood.

Of course he also understood that there was an undercurrent surging in the Qianxue state boundary, and the central Taoist court suddenly sent a Diansi here at this time, which may have a deeper meaning.

But it has nothing to do with him.

Gu Changhuai said in a deep voice: "I am Dian Si, and I only know how to act according to the law. Even if someone from the imperial court comes, I will still do what I should do."

Xiao Diansi looked at Gu Changhuai like a fool and couldn't help but smile, "Gu Diansi has his own principles, which is admirable."

Gu Changhuai bowed his hands symbolically, then turned and left.

Xiao Diansi looked at his leaving back, shook his head and sneered.

After leaving Daotingsi, Gu Changhuai was anxious and went straight back to Qingzhou City. He changed into Daotingsi's Taoist robes, picked up a good horse from the Gu family, and then drove non-stop along the Yanshui River to the small fishing village.

After arriving at the fishing village, he followed Mo Hua's instructions and walked downstream, climbing up the barren mountain. When he looked up, he saw Mo Hua squatting on the ground, studying something.

Next to him was an unknown old man with a weak breath.

There were also four neat corpses lying on the ground.

Gu Changhuai looked at the ink painting, then at the four corpses, and immediately took a breath, "You killed four?"

"No, no," Mo Hua waved his hands repeatedly, "Not that many, just one."

"You still think it's too little?" Gu Changhuai said angrily.

Mo Hua smiled coquettishly.

"What's going on?" Gu Changhuai asked with a frown.

Mo Huayan said briefly and comprehensively:

"These people were killers, with their faces covered, and they were chasing this old man. I happened to meet him, so I helped him and killed them. Of course, I only helped a little bit. busy…"

Ink painting tries to keep the relationship clear.

Gu Changhuai didn't believe it at all.

There are traces of formation explosions all over the place, as well as scars on these people who were cut and burned by the formation...

This is called taking a slight step and helping out a little?

It is estimated that these people were all killed by Mo Hua.

Mo Hua continued: "After these people died, I searched their bodies and found no suspicious traces, but one of them..."

Mo Hua pointed at an unrecognizable corpse on the ground and said, "He learned the method of sin cultivator and embedded a small storage box between his teeth. There was an executive commander in it, and the word 'Xiao' was written on the token..."

Gu Changhuai's eyes narrowed.

Mo Hua handed the token to Gu Changhuai and asked, "Uncle Gu, look, is this the commander-in-chief of the Xiao family?"

Gu Changhuai took it and took a look, his expression a little solemn.

The token is correct, it is indeed the executive commander of the Xiao family, Daotingsi.

Gu Changhuai turned his head, glanced at Mo Hua, assessed the current situation, and breathed a sigh of relief silently.

"fine…"

He also thought that Mo Hua had a conflict with the Xiao family and deliberately set up a formation to blow up the Xiao family's executive.

The current situation is not difficult to deal with.

Gu Changhuai silently put the token away.

Mo Hua said worriedly: "Uncle Gu, what should we do now?"

Gu Changhuai raised his eyebrows, "What should I do?"

Mo Hua pointed at the corpse on the ground, "This Xiao family executive..."

Gu Changhuai frowned and said: "What Xiao family executive? Where is the Xiao family executive?"

Mo Hua was startled.

"You acted bravely and killed a few masked gangsters. What does it have to do with the Xiao family?"

Gu Changhuai said sternly, "In this wilderness, there are only guilty cultivators who attempted murder but were killed. How can there be any executive?"

Mo Hua suddenly understood and nodded.

Uncle Gu is worthy of being an experienced Daoting Si Diansi.

The process is very familiar.

It seems that I still have a lot to learn.

Gu Changhuai's gaze shifted to Yu Canghai and he frowned slightly.

Mo Hua said: "This old man is the successor of Shuiyun Sect. His surname is Yu and his given name is Canghai."

Yu Canghai saw Gu Changhuai, but his eyes were stern, "Are you from Daotingsi?"

Although Gu Changhuai did not wear the Taoist priest's robe, his majestic facial features and demeanor were very different from those of ordinary monks, and Yu Canghai could recognize him at a glance.

Moreover, it is still a golden elixir cultivation level.

A Jindan realm monk is at least a powerful Diansi in the Daoting Division!

Yu Canghai looked alert.

Gu Changhuai looked at him coldly, "So what?"

Yu Canghai sneered, "There is no good person in the Daoting Division!"

Gu Changhuai looked unhappy.

Mo Hua said quickly: "Okay, okay."

An old Jindan man of unknown age, and a Jindan Diansi who is more than two hundred years old, what's the quarrel about?

Mo Hua said to Cang Hai: "Your enemy is Guishuimen. I can't protect you. Only Uncle Gu can help you."

Yu Canghai shook his head, "I can't trust the people of Dao Tingsi. Even if I die, I will not accept their kindness. Once I trust Dao Tingsi easily, my Shuiyu Sect's orthodoxy will be cut off sooner or later..."

"But now that you are dead, the Water Prison Sect's orthodoxy has been broken." Mo Hua said.

Stuck in the sea.

Mo Hua sighed: "Now is the worst case scenario. If you listen to Uncle Gu, you might be able to save a life and pass on the tradition. Otherwise, your Water Prison Sect will really be doomed."

Yu Canghai's expression changed, and he finally sighed.

Although he was a bit stubborn, he was not stupid and he quickly figured it out.

Now he has no room for bargaining.

Mo Hua said to Gu Changhuai again:

"He is a member of the Water Prison Sect, and was hunted down by evil cultivators ordered by the Guishui Sect who had an affair with Daotingsi."

Having an affair with Daotingsi involves Daotingsi's inner ghost.

Guishuimen's instigation involved corruption within the sect.

The evil cultivator is likely to be involved in the case of Shui Yanluo and the destruction of the Yu family's water village.

In the flash of lightning, Gu Changhuai understood that this old Jindan man was a key figure.

The displeasure in Gu Changhuai's eyes faded slightly, and he nodded:

"good."

Now that it was explained clearly, Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

After that comes the aftermath.

Gu Changhuai said: "I called people over and collected these corpses. I told the outside world that they were water bandits on the Yanshui River who wanted to commit murder and robbery, but were killed by Daotingsi. You don't want to leak the news."

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded and said, "By the way, Uncle Gu, there are a few more..."

Gu Changhuai was startled, "How many?" Mo Hua pointed toward the mountain, "There are four more, dead over there..."

Gu Changhuai looked at the ink paintings silently.

Mo Hua was a little embarrassed and whispered: "I just helped a little bit, and it doesn't count as my hand."

Gu Changhuai took a deep breath and sighed: "Okay."

One strike would cost eight lives.

There is also a Xiao family executive.

Fortunately, Mo Hua, that brat, was not his nephew, otherwise he would have been **** to death sooner or later if he had not been exhausted.

After that, Gu Changhuai called people from the Gu family to collect the body and clean up the scene.

Mo Hua took the Gu family's carriage and returned to Qingzhou City with Yu Canghai.

Yu Canghai was temporarily placed in the Gu family. His external identity was that he was a Taoist friend of the Jindan realm whom Gu Changhuai met. He was passing through Qianxue Prefecture and came here to visit.

Outsiders will not doubt this statement.

After a lifetime of spiritual practice, who doesn't have a few Taoist friends?

But within the Gu family, people who are familiar with Gu Changhuai all know that there is something fishy going on.

Because Gu Changhuai had a bad temper, he really didn't have many Taoist friends.

But thinking about it, it was Daotingsi's business, so no one asked about it.

Yu Canghai settled down temporarily.

But in the Gu family, the environment is comfortable, he has food and drink, there is no shortage of healing elixirs, and he is not afraid of being chased. As time goes by, his injuries will gradually improve.

He also told Gu Changhuai everything about Shuiyunmen, Guishuimen, and Daotingsi.

Mo Hua was also listening.

Yu Canghai's words were similar to what he had heard before, and there wasn't much new.

The only difference is the water Yama.

"Have you seen Shui Yanluo?" Gu Changhuai asked.

Mentioning Shui Yanluo, Yu Canghai's face immediately showed anger, his eyes filled with deep hatred:

"Even if he turns into ashes, I can't forget him!"

"What does he look like?" Mo Hua asked.

Yu Canghaimu's eyes were cold, "He looks like a fair young man, with a pale face and cold eyes, a sinister look, and is proficient in water properties. He is good at using a nine-lock snake whip."

Mo Hua and Gu Changhuai looked at each other and nodded slightly.

This was indeed the same person as the "Shui Yama" they had seen and had a brief confrontation with at the ferry that night.

Yu Canghai said: "I concealed my name and came to the border of Qianxue Prefecture. After a lot of hard work, I finally found the surviving descendants of the Water Prison Sect."

"They live together in the water village and live a life of poverty. Their highest level of cultivation is no more than building foundations. They know nothing about the past of the water prison gate, and they don't know their own identities. They are not allowed to use some of the Taoism passed down from their ancestors. You can't even learn it.”

"I suppressed my cultivation, restrained my aura, pretended to be a fish vendor, and had been in contact with them for some time. I was debating whether to tell them the truth and pass on my Water Prison Sect's traditions to them one by one. I realized my lifelong wish, but it didn't come true…”

The old man looked in pain, "My whereabouts were discovered, and the entire water village was slaughtered."

"I am a golden elixir, but I am only a golden elixir. In the second-grade state, all I can exert is the strength at the peak of foundation building. I can only watch helplessly as the descendants of my Yu family fall there one after another. Under the butcher's knife of a group of evil beasts."

"In a rage, I was attacked by the Water Yama again. I was poisoned by the water. I had to bear the pain and leave to save my life."

"After that, I was chased by them all the time. I was hiding in all directions. I was already desperate and thought about fighting to the death and getting it over with. It wasn't until later that I accidentally discovered that there was still my Yu family in a small fishing village by the Yanshui River. The surviving descendants now have a glimmer of hope..."

"I secretly passed on some skills and techniques to those two children. Although it is possible that they will be exterminated, but to this day, I can't care so much..."

Yu Canghai sighed and looked at the ink painting, "You also know what happens next."

Mo Hua nodded, then thought for a moment and said doubtfully:

"You are in the second-level state boundary, your strength is limited, and you are being hunted by the group of foundation-building monks. Why don't you go to the third-level state boundary?"

The old man smiled bitterly, "I will die faster if I go to the third-level state boundary."

Mo Hua is puzzled.

The old man sighed: "I am in the second-level state boundary, and those who come to kill me are all in the late stage of foundation building. I have suppressed my cultivation and still have the advantage."

"But once I go to the third-level state boundary, the ones who come to kill me will probably be the Jindan of Guishuimen, or even some late-stage Jindan. As a monk in the middle stage of Jindan, if I am besieged by them, I will basically die!"

Mo Hua suddenly realized.

The law of heaven, where misfortunes and blessings depend on each other, not only suppressed his cultivation and made him unable to save others, but it also saved his life.

Otherwise, the twelfth-rate Guishui Gate would directly send Jin Dan, or send Yu Hua Zhenren to silence them in a frantic manner. Not to mention the Yujia Water Village, but also Yu Canghai itself, would be wiped out in a blink of an eye.

The ink painting made me realize something.

The Heavenly Dao Array, with its checks and balances, seems to have many disadvantages...

For example, Uncle Gu has a golden elixir, and it is very difficult to grasp the fire Buddha, Shui Yama, and other demon cultivators who are at the peak of foundation building and the top of Taoism.

But on the other hand, if there are no restrictions by the laws of heaven.

Then I am afraid that what I am facing is not a demonic cultivator at the level of "Fire Buddha" or "Water Yama".

Higher-level demon cultivators may be able to kill a large number of middle- and low-level cultivators with just a few clicks, causing countless killings.

Places like small fishing villages have been destroyed countless times.

If an evil **** at the level of the Lord of the Wilderness is not restricted by heaven, he may just look at all living beings and corrupt the Taoist hearts of countless monks, causing countless creatures to fall into evil ways and become his sacrifices...

"Wealth, power, and even cultivation cannot expand endlessly. If there are no checks and balances, it will definitely cause huge disasters to the poor and weak, causing the destruction of living beings, the collapse of the great road, and evil changes, which will bring about everything in the world. , all annihilated, returning to nothingness..."

"Perhaps this is the way of heaven..."

Mo Hua was a little dazed for a moment, and a cold and cruel, but extremely real understanding arose in his heart.

Monks seek the Tao and become immortals after attaining the Tao.

He seemed to vaguely understand the rudiment of the "Tao" he sought.

Yu Canghai and Gu Changhuai, who were talking, were a little startled when they saw this.

They didn't understand, but after just saying a few words, Mo Hua seemed to have an epiphany, and there was an unknown, ancient and profound meaning flowing in his eyes.

Neither of them dared to speak for a moment.

After a while, Mo Hua came back to his senses and saw Gu Changhuai and Gu Changhuai looking at him with somewhat confused expressions:

"What's wrong?"

Gu Changhuai pondered: "What...are you thinking about?".

"It's nothing, I have a little insight." Mo Hua said modestly.

Gu Changhuai's expression was complicated.

Yu Canghai also looked at the ink painting with trembling eyes.

After everyone chatted for a few more words, Gu Changhuai got up and left.

"There is something going on at Daotingsi, I have to go back first..." Gu Changhuai said, and then glanced at Yu Canghai, "You stay here and recover well. I will come back to ask you if I have any questions later."

It was obvious that he was only in the early stage of the Golden Core, and Yu Canghai was in the middle stage of the Golden Core, but he was not polite at all, and his words were not polite at all.

Yu Canghai also knew that people had to bow their heads when under the eaves, so he cupped his hands without saying anything.

Mo Hua waved his hand, "Uncle Gu, walk slowly."

Gu Changhuai looked at the ink painting again and warned:

"You will return to the sect as soon as possible and try to go out as little as possible. Also remember, don't mention the affairs of the Xiao family's executive director to anyone."

Mo Hua nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Only then did Gu Changhuai leave.

But he wasn't too worried.

Mo Hua, this kid, has so many secrets hidden in his belly.

When it comes to "unspeakable" things, killing a Tao Ting Si executive, or colluding with criminal cultivators, the Xiao family executive, I'm afraid he may not be able to rank high.

After Gu Changhuai left, Mo Hua quietly asked Yu Canghai, "Senior Yu..."

Uncle Gu is a golden elixir, so you can avoid giving him face.

But I am just a foundation builder, so I still have to be polite and call "senior".

Yu Canghai was a little afraid of ink painting. He expected that the background of ink painting must be unusual, so he quickly said:

"Old seniors don't dare to act like this. If you don't mind, little friends, just call me elder."

He was indeed the elder of the clan before.

If the Water Prison Sect was still there, he would be able to assume the position of an elder with his cultivation in the middle stage of Golden Core.

"Well, Elder Yu," Mo Hua asked curiously, "What kind of inheritance does your Water Prison Sect have?"

Yu Canghai was startled for a moment, then looked at the ink painting with some vigilance, and said solemnly:

"The inheritance of our Water Prison Sect can only be passed down to the descendants of the Water Prison Sect."

I mean, don't ask, I can't tell you.

"I'll just ask." Mo Hua muttered.

He wanted to learn a little bit, but only a little bit, and he didn't want to learn that much.

Yu Canghai is noncommittal.

"By the way," Mo Hua suddenly remembered something and asked, "When I used the Water Prison Technique to trap the Water Yama before, it was of no use at all. When I used the Water Prison Technique to trap you, it was of no use. Why is that?"

Yu Canghai was shocked when he heard this, "Have you ever fought against Shui Yanluo?"

Mo Hua nodded, "That's right..."

It was a fight, and it was barely a tie.

Yu Canghai glanced at Mo Hua again.

In the middle stage of foundation building, being able to fight against Shui Yanluo and escape unharmed is simply not something that ordinary monks can do.

Yu Canghai had fought against Shui Yama and knew how difficult Shui Yama was.

Moreover, he can be the enemy of Shuiyanluo...

Yu Canghai's fondness for ink paintings grew a little more.

He thought about it for a while, and finally said: "The inheritance of my Water Prison Sect is also divided into three, six, and nine levels."

"And among these three, six, and nine levels, there is a relationship of 'the superior overcomes the inferior'."

"Ordinary Water Prison Technique, in the Water Prison Sect's spell system, is an inferior inheritance. No matter how well you learn it and how skillfully you use it, you cannot restrain the superior inheritance method of the Water Prison Sect."
