Asking About Longevity Chapter 822

Chapter 822 Daoting

 Central Daoting!

Mo Hua's eyes narrowed and he asked: "Why did Daoting come to investigate? What did they come to investigate? How did they investigate?"

Wang Chen looked bitter, "This...you think too highly of me. How could I possibly know..."

Mo Hua thought about it and thought it was right.

Daoting's intervention at this time must have a deeper intention.

Wang Chen, an ordinary Guishui sect disciple, is unlikely to know.

"Then let me ask you again," Mo Hua pondered for a moment and then said, "What are the beautiful and fun things you mentioned? Where are they? What benefits will you gain by taking us there?"

Wang Chen said helplessly:

"I...I just found a job to earn some merit."

"Senior brother and the others have said that if you open the Eight Gates and the disciples of the Twelfth Rank come on board, each head will have two hundred points of merit."

"The place we are going to is just a flower boat. There is food, drink and entertainment on the boat. It is not a bad thing. If we go for a while, maybe we can make some friends..."

Mo Hua sneered: "Just lie to others, don't lie to yourself."

Wang Chen stopped talking.

But after he thought about it for a moment, his expression became cold, "You arrest me...do you have other motives? You don't really want to get on the ship."

Mo Hua was a little surprised.

This Wang Chen is really not stupid.

Mo Hua said calmly: "I dare to tell you, do you dare to listen?"

Wang Chen was stunned.

Mo Hua said in a low voice: "It's okay if you don't know about this matter. If you do, I'm afraid you will get angry and burn yourself to death soon. You don't even know how to die."

Mo Hua didn't lie to him.

Normally for someone like Wang Chen, once he learns some secret, he will die within a few days.

This is how it is played in drama scripts.

Wang Chen didn't dare to ask anymore.

He is from the Wang family and grew up with Hao Xuan.

The Wang family is not as powerful as the Hao family, and his status in the family is far inferior to that of Hao Xuan, so he has always acted cautiously.

He also knew some taboo things.

But although he stopped asking, it was obvious that he didn't want to say anything more.

Mo Hua glanced at him and said calmly:

"Let me tell you the truth, originally we wanted to torture you, kill you quietly, and throw you into the river to feed the water monsters without anyone noticing, but Hao Xuan persuaded you..."

Hao Xuan next to him was stunned for a moment.

I advised you, why didn't I know?

Mo Hua continued without blinking:

"Hao Xuan said that he and you were childhood friends and couldn't bear to see you die miserably and be buried in the demon's belly. He advised us to give you a chance, so we just knocked you out and asked you some questions. Otherwise, you would have been killed by now. The river is sinking..."

"Brother Xuan..."

Wang Chen looked at Hao Xuan's expression and felt a little more moved.

Hao Xuan didn't know what expression to make.

"But..." Mo Hua's face darkened slightly, "You should know what you are doing."

"If you continue like this, not only will you not have good results, but you will definitely implicate the Wang family, your parents will be shamed, and your death will be ignominious..."

Wang Chen's face turned pale, "But, but..."

He raised his head, glanced at the ink painting, and said with a wry smile: "The sect's atmosphere is like this, what can I do?"

Mo Hua shook his head: "There is no fire contained in paper. If Guishuimen does this, it will be over sooner or later. You have to think about it..."

Mo Hua looked at Wang Chen silently, "Once Guishui Sect is finished, a group of disciples will inevitably be liquidated. At that time, do you think you can escape?"

"this…"

Wang Chen raised his head and glanced at Mo Hua, distinguishing his voice and figure.

Only then did he suddenly realize that the person in front of him was the good-looking and tender-faced Taixu Sect disciple before Tian Tian, ​​​​and he was both surprised and confused in his heart.

"But...can you help me?"

Mo Hua said arrogantly: "I can't tell you my true identity for the time being. I can only tell you that behind me, there is my ancestor; I am the same disciple who talks to each other; I have a close friendship with a group of elders; in the Taoist court, Si Li, it's also related..."

Mo Hua pulled up the tiger skin as a banner and began to put gold on his face.

But Hao Xuan and others knew that he was telling the truth.

Wang Chen was also coaxed by Mo Hua into a daze.

"You do something for me. If the Guishui Gate incident happens, I can protect you from Daotingsi." Mo Hua said firmly.

Wang Chen said nonchalantly, "Really?"

"You don't believe me, don't you believe Hao Xuan?" Mo Hua said.

Hao Xuan finally came back to his senses, nodded, and sighed: "We are saving you, otherwise once you sink too deep, you won't be able to look back."

Wang Chen was a little shaken, "But, I'm just an ordinary disciple, and I can't do much..."

"It's okay," Mo Hua said, "It's just a small matter, it won't embarrass you."

Wang Chen was still a little confused, "Can I... go back and think about it?"

"Okay," Mo Hua said, "but you'd better not tell anyone what happened today, otherwise the news will be leaked and no one can save you."

Wang Chen nodded.

Mo Hua gave Cheng Mo a look, and Cheng Mo let Wang Chen go.

Wang Chen was a little surprised when he saw that Cheng Mo really let him go. He looked at everyone silently again, and then left with some anxiety. He didn't know what he was thinking.

Looking at Wang Chen's retreating back, Situ Jian frowned and said, "Senior Brother, do you think he will really do things for us?"

"It doesn't matter." Mo Hua said.

Situ Jian was startled.

Mo Hua said: "If he agrees, it will be easier for Guishui Gate. If he doesn't agree, I can think of other ways. It will only cost a little trouble."

"However, if he doesn't agree, then once things happen, he will have no choice but to ask for his own blessings."

Cheng Mo and Situ Jian nodded.

Hao Xuan, on the other hand, looked a little uneasy.

From the bottom of his heart, he still hoped that he, a young man, would not go astray.

After that, several people returned to Taixu Sect.

The disciple was in the middle, Mo Hua was lying on the bed, still thinking about what happened during the day.

Daoting…

Although there is only one word difference between Daoting and Daotingsi, their meanings are worlds apart.

Daoting has unified the cultivation world for more than 20,000 years, and its foundation is terrifyingly deep.

It's unknown how many monastic resources have been accumulated, how many monastic inheritances have been monopolized, and how many bottomless old monsters are dormant behind the Taoist court.

Although there is a Tao Tingsi in the Qianxue state boundary.

It's just that although this Tao Tingsi is under the supervision and jurisdiction of the central Tao Ting, its interior has been infiltrated by major aristocratic families.

Daoting also turned a blind eye before.

I don't know if it's a compromise.

In other words, all the major families in Qianxue State have people in Daoting who can collude with each other to deceive the public.

But the situation now seems to be a little different...

Daoting began to investigate the matter of Guishuimen. It seemed like a small matter, but it was probably a lead-in.

only…

Daoting investigates Guishui Gate, what exactly do they want to investigate?

Why start with Guishui Gate?

How much does Daoting know?

Mo Hua thought for a long time and had no idea.

After all, if it was Daotingsi, he had some experience with him, knew a few things, and had some acquaintances.

But Daoting was as tall as a behemoth and was beyond his reach.

"I have to find someone who knows the inside story and ask..."

Mo Hua took out the letter of communication again. After thinking for a while, he thought it would be better to ask directly, so he sent the letter to Gu Changhuai:

"Uncle Gu, is there someone from Daoting?"

After waiting for a long time, Gu Changhuai didn't reply.

I don't know if he was busy and didn't see it, or if he didn't want to talk about Daoting at all.

But this matter is more critical.

Mo Hua thought about it and decided to ask in person.

Early the next morning, he left Taixumen and went to Daotingsi on the border of Qianxue State.

When he arrived at Daotingsi, no one stopped him.

Gu Changhuai has been serving as Dian Si in Daoting Division all year round, and his prestige is quite high.

As an ordinary person in charge of the office, he is too busy with his duties, and he may embarrass the new monks who have just arrived, but Mo Hua is a familiar face, and he has a good relationship with Gu Changhuai, so naturally no one dares to embarrass him.

There was even an executive from the Gu family who poured a cup of tea for Mo Hua and said politely:

"Dianji is busy with business, please wait a moment, young master."

Mo Hua thanked him politely, and then sat quietly drinking tea while secretly observing the monks coming and going in the Taoist Office.

After about four or five cups of tea, Mo Hua saw Gu Changhuai coming out and said hello quickly:

"Uncle Gu."

As soon as he saw Mo Hua's handsome face, Gu Changhuai's head began to hurt unconsciously.

If it weren't for the fact that he was in Daotingsi and had to take his image into consideration, he would have turned around and left.

"What's the matter?" Gu Changhuai said indifferently.

"I told you by letter, but you ignored me, so I came to find you." Mo Hua said confidently.

Gu Changhuai sighed, and just as he was about to say something, a cold but crisp voice suddenly sounded next to him:

"Gu Diansi, you are quite free. You still have time to chat here..."

Mo Hua was a little surprised when he heard the words. He looked up and found that the speaker was a woman wearing a Taoist robe.

This woman was tall and beautiful, with a cold expression and a slightly raised chin, exuding an arrogant temperament.

Gu Changhuai looked indifferent and was obviously in a bad mood:

"Why, Xia Diansi has to take care of me even if I say a few words to someone? Don't forget, you are Diansi, and so am I. You can't control me."

The woman's expression became even colder.

After that, the two of them didn't speak, and looked at each other, with the same cold eyes and the same indifferent expression, and the atmosphere was a bit stalemate for a while.

Mo Hua sat between the two of them, looking innocent.

After a while, he approached Gu Changhuai and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Gu, who is this beautiful sister?"

Gu Changhuai's eyelids twitched.

I don't know who this brat learned from who told lies and flattery.

On the surface, he deliberately lowered his voice, but in front of Jin Dan, who could he hide his words from?

The woman opposite had obviously heard Mo Hua's words. Her expression was as cold as ever, but her eyes looking at Mo Hua couldn't help but soften.

There is no woman who does not like others to praise her beauty.

What's more, the words spoken by a young boy with a simple temperament and clear eyes are as refreshing as the spring breeze.

Her voice was somewhat gentler, "Little brother, you can't call me 'sister', I'm much older than you..."

Mo Hua asked curiously: "Then what should I shout?"

Gu Changhuai on the side snorted coldly, "What else can I call, of course I call 'Auntie'."

The woman looked at Gu Changhuai with a cold, murderous look, "Gu Diansi, if you can't speak, you can shut up."

After finishing speaking, she said to Mo Hua: "My surname is Xia, you can just call me Xia Diansi."

Mo Hua nodded and said, "Hello, Xia Diansi."

Xia Diansi nodded slightly and asked, "What do you want to do when you come to Daotingsi?"

Mo Hua glanced at Gu Changhuai and started to make up lies, "Elder Gu Hong asked me to call Uncle Gu and ask him to go back to the Gu family. There is something at home."

Xia Diansi was a little surprised, "What's the matter?"

Mo Hua glanced at Gu Changhuai and then at Xia Diansi, looking hesitant, not sure whether he should say anything.

After a moment, he waved to Xia Diansi.

Xia Diansi was startled for a moment, then understood what Mo Hua meant, and subconsciously listened to Mo Hua, then heard Mo Hua whisper in her ear:

"Tell Uncle Gu to go back for a blind date..."

Likewise, Mo Hua's voice was very low, but he could not hide it from Gu Changhuai either. Before Gu Changhuai could finish speaking, anger appeared on his face. Unable to bear it, he picked up Mo Hua, held his collar, and walked towards the outside of the Daoting Division without looking back.

It's just that the back view looks a bit hasty and embarrassed.

Xia Diansi looked at Gu Changhuai's back, his eyes moved slightly and his expression became a little subtle.

Mo Hua has grown a lot taller, but still far less tall than Gu Changhuai.

What's more, Gu Changhuai is a golden elixir, and his physical body is much stronger. It's not difficult to carry a thin ink painting.

After arriving at a secluded place, Gu Changhuai put down the ink painting and couldn't help but said with a cold face:

"Next time if you talk nonsense, be careful I won't be polite to you."

Mo Hua said "Oh".

Seeing his confident look, Gu Changhuai really had no choice.

He could only say this.

He was really "not polite" to Mo Hua. Mo Hua directly "sue the parents" and complained to Wen Renwan or Elder Gu Hong. Gu Changhuai was really upset.

Although his surname is Gu, Mo Hua's surname is Mo.

But in the Gu family, especially in front of Elder Gu Hong and Wen Renwan, Mo Hua is the one who keeps his word.

Gu Changhuai sighed, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Mo Hua said: "I told you before."

Only then did Gu Changhuai remember the order to pass the letter, and said, "Can't I tell you about Dao Ting's affairs?"

"Why?"

"Because it's a secret, and Daoting is not an ordinary force. If you really violate Daoting's taboo, even my Gu family, let alone you, will be wiped out."

The ink painting looks slightly stern.

But he just wanted to ask where he would violate any taboos, let alone be wiped out in ashes.

Mo Hua thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he asked:

"That Xia Diansi just now is from Daoting?"

Gu Changhuai said nothing.

Mo Hua looked at Gu Changhuai's face, nodded and said, "It seems..."

"Uncle Gu, you said before that there is a new Diansi in Daotingsi who is very troublesome and difficult to deal with. Could it be that you are talking about this Xia Diansi?"

After finishing speaking, Mo Hua observed Gu Changhuai's words again and got a positive answer.

"Xia Diansi, Xia...this Xia, is he from a big family in Daoting?"

Gu Changhuai was helpless and sighed: "Yes."

He discovered that Mo Hua, as a boy, would definitely ask the truth if he got curious. Instead of being secretive, it would be easier to tell him directly.

Gu Changhuai said: "The Xia family is an ancient family when the Dao court was first established. Many important positions such as the center of the Dao court, the seven pavilions, and even the Qintian prison, such as pavilion elders and supervisors, have all been held by Xia family monks."

"The Xia family is truly a giant family."

The ink painting looks solemn.

The Xia family is so powerful.

"Then what is the purpose of the Daoting asking the Xia family to come here this time? To check Guishuimen?" Mo Hua asked.

Gu Changhuai frowned, "Do you know about Daoting's investigation of Guishui Gate?"

Mo Hua nodded, "I just knew."

Gu Changhuai didn't know what to say.

Daoting didn't check for a few days.

This guy is so well-informed.

"Why did Daoting check Guishui Gate?" Mo Hua asked.

Gu Changhuai was silent for a moment and shook his head, "It's hard to say..."

"Hard to say?"

Gu Changhuai pondered for a moment, and finally spoke slowly:

"There are many sects in the Qianxue State, and the families are extremely powerful. The ancestors of each family may have their own plans, and they usually fight openly and secretly, but their attitude towards Dao Ting is the same: in the Qianxue State, you can The Tao Ting Si is established to maintain Taoist law, but the Tao Ting cannot directly intervene in all internal affairs."

"Unless there is a disobedient family, plotting rebellion, something that touches the bottom line of Dao Ting, Dao Ting will indeed turn a blind eye."

"Occasionally, if serious accidents occur, Daoting will at best hold them accountable and then take a layer of blame from each family, and that's it."

"But, something has been different recently..."

Gu Changhuai frowned, "It seems that Daoting doesn't want to let Qianxue state boundary go anymore."

"Or maybe they have been coveting the border of Qianxue State for a long time, but they just never had a good opportunity to reach out."

"However, not long ago, there happened to be an 'opportunity'."

Mo Hua's eyes narrowed, "What's the opportunity?"

Gu Changhuai looked at the ink painting and asked: "You are a disciple of the sect. You should have been to the Demon Refining Mountain to hunt monsters. You should be familiar with the Ten Thousand Demons Valley."

Mo Hua was startled, "The Valley of Ten Thousand Demons?!"

Gu Changhuai nodded and hesitated for a moment. He was about to tell Mo Hua this secret, but suddenly he was stunned, "You don't... already know, do you?"

Mo Hua was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.

"How much do you know?" Gu Changhuai asked.

"Probably... almost, everyone knows..." Mo Hua whispered.

In the entire Qianxue State, except for Mr. Tu and the mysterious young master, there should be no one who knows the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons better than him.

Those demon cultivators and stewards may also understand, but they are all dead.

Gu Changhuai's eyelids twitched.

He heard about the "Ten Thousand Demons Valley" from the head of the Gu family.

This matter was kept very tightly concealed from above. Only some rumors leaked out through the cracks, and these were only minor details.

But now, Mo Hua said that he knew everything, which meant...

"You...have never entered the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons..."

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

It's not as simple as going in.

He had been wandering around the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons for an unknown amount of time.

Most of the demon cultivators in charge had their souls wiped out by him.

The wealth of the Ten Thousand Demon Valley and the thousands of demons were all eaten up by him.

Of course, this cannot be said.

Gu Changhuai couldn't think of this.

But despite this, he still took a breath silently, feeling a little unbelievable in his heart.

This kid, why is he always there...

It's evil.

"What happened in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons?" Mo Hua asked.

Gu Changhuai calmed down and sighed: "What happened in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons is this opportunity..."

"This incident had a bad impact and the consequences were very serious. Although it was finally covered up, Daoting also had an excuse to directly send people to the Daoting Division for supervision..."

Gu Changhuai's face looked a little ugly, "...that is, Xia Diansi from the Xia family."

Mo Hua nodded slowly.

The things of this world are a matter of sip and peck.

He thought that everything in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons was over, but he didn't expect that this series of changes would be secretly involved.

Not only did Daoting extend his hand into the border of Qianxue state.

He also recruited this "Xia Diansi".

Mo Hua wondered again: "Will Daoting's intervention have any impact on the Qianxue state boundary?"

Gu Changhuai looked a little solemn: "This is where it's hard to say. It's possible that they were just going through the motions, monitoring for a while and then leaving; it's also possible that they were secretly investigating the truth; or they wanted to take this opportunity to put the Power penetrates into the borders of Qianxue State..."

"No matter what, it's a start."

"This means that the Central Court is also about to enter the game..."

After that, until Mo Hua left Daotingsi and returned to his disciple's residence, Gu Changhuai's words still lingered in his mind.

Daoting entered the game.

I don't know if it's good or bad…

Mo Hua frowned.

However, the plot of a behemoth like Daoting should have little to do with him, at least it is not his turn to worry about it.

Mo Hua came back to his senses and thought about Shui Yanluo again.

The most important thing now is to catch Shui Yanluo as soon as possible.

Only by catching Shui Yanluo and asking about the destruction of the family in the water village of the Yu family, especially the matters related to "sacrifice", can he find the altar and advance his spiritual consciousness further.

But Mo Hua soon discovered that with the clues he currently had, it would be difficult to find Shui Yanluo, let alone catch him.

The main reason is that his time is limited and he has to take a ten-day break, so he cannot check many things in person.

In this way, if you peel off the cocoon bit by bit, even if you can catch the Water Yama, you don't know that it will be in the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse.

Too slow.

Even if he can wait, Mr. Xun may not be able to wait for the important matters related to the survival of the sect.

Mo Hua thought silently for a moment, and gradually came up with an idea.

People must be self-aware.

If you can't do something yourself, just use your own strength.

The nature of a gentleman is not different; he is good and false in nature.

"Those who can help with this matter, Uncle Gu, Yu Canghai, Senior Sister Qianqian from Baihua Valley, and Wang Chen from Guishui Gate are all already planning..."

"But it's not enough..."

"I still need a stronger helper."

"This helper is..."

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, "Daoting!"

"Daoting's strength is unfathomable and he is a real behemoth."

"Within the boundaries of Qianxue Prefecture, whatever Dao Ting really wants to do, he can do it without worrying about the constraints of any force, and without fear of anyone's obstruction or revenge."

"Now that Daoting wants to make a plan to investigate Guishuimen, then I will take a ride and seize the opportunity to lure Shui Yanluo into Daotingsi's net, and then fish in troubled waters."

"Moreover, we can also take the opportunity to establish good relations with some of the Taoist forces."

"Any force, including not only aristocratic families and sects, but also Daoting, is very complicated internally."

"There are different interests, different entanglements, and different intentions internally. They are not absolutely monolithic."

"Build a good relationship with some forces within the Daoting. If you really violate any big taboos in the future and are suppressed by the upper echelons of the Daoting, you won't be blinded and trapped in a desperate situation of isolation and helplessness."

"But…"

Mo Hua pondered, "How can I get in touch with Daoting?"

Mo Hua thought about it and could only think of one person.

He took out the letter of communication and sent it to Gu Changhuai:

"Uncle Gu, don't worry about Teacher Hua. There will be no results. Please take the time to get in touch with Xia Diansi more..."

Gu Changhuai has been in contact with ink paintings for a long time, and was infected by ink paintings. He occasionally uses magnetic ink to manifest some strange symbols to express his emotions.

At this time, he sent a big question mark to Mo Hua.
