MTL - Asking About Longevity

Chapter 640 Clues

 Are these "spiritual animals" actually humans?

 Chickens, ducks, cows, horses, sows, and cranes, are these all nicknames for different monks?

 The pupils in the ink painting are slightly shrunk.

 In the order of communication, there is an "account".

 There are a large number of records in the accounts.

Mo Hua had made up his mind and put away the vulture's "message order" and stopped thinking about it for the time being.

  Otherwise, you will definitely get burned.

 Functional magnetic patterns are basically the same.

Gu Changhuai's study is very neat, spotless, exquisite and luxurious.

 Selling people like "spiritual animals"!

Mo Hua's eyes turned cold. This big bastard, Vulture, died too cheaply...

 “Especially the people from Daotingsi...”

 …

 “Everything is ready, God doesn’t know it, and the ghost doesn’t know it…”

For the matter at hand, let’s catch the Fire Buddha first.

Mo Hua stood outside the door and looked into the study to see what Uncle Gu was doing.

Before Mo Hua finished speaking, he saw Gu Changhuai's expression changed drastically and he stared at the order with an expression of disbelief.

 “rouge shop.”

 …

Mo Hua met Wen Renwan, said hello, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then went to find Gu Changhuai.

 Gu Changhuai nodded, stood up and left, but after taking a few steps, he found Mo Hua following him step by step like a "little follower", obviously wanting to go with him.

Even if you show your head, you should put yourself in an "inconspicuous" position.

 Gu Changhuai was still angry, so he took the order and sent a few messages, then erased it himself and threw the order back to Mo Hua.

He was afraid that he was not good at ink painting and would damage the formation inside.

Gu Changhuai was slightly startled.

 They did not act rashly and wanted to see the situation first.

 Mo Hua himself was called "Little Young Master"...

“Uncle Gu, how about you leave it to me to try?”

Wanting to restore the formation in reverse is another matter.

Yu'er was disturbed by nightmares before and was extremely weak, so her spiritual practice naturally fell behind.

You little brat, what are you thinking about?

“Is this the messenger I gave you?”

Gu Changhuai went through some formalities and got the messenger order from Mr. Hualang.

As a master, if he is in the realm, he is calculated, or he is described as a desperate situation.

“Although the appearance is a bit tattered, the functions are intact and does not affect use.”

Mo Hua led Yu'er, escorted by Wen Renwei, and boarded a gorgeous carriage, leaving the beautiful and simple Taixu Gate and heading to the Gu family in Qingzhou City.

 The ink paintings immediately began to reproduce the fixed magnetic patterns.

 “Hua Laoliu, don’t miss the time.”

Even if Mr. Xun and Aunt Wan want to protect themselves, they may not be able to do so...

Mo Hua was puzzled, "What's so unbelievable about this..."

Mo Hua scanned it for a moment and saw that there was no sign of "sealing" or "encryption" in the order, so he handed the order to Gu Changhuai.

Mo Hua then tried in a low voice:

"Son of a bitch…"

 The cowhide has been blown to the sky by you...

Mo Hua has a serious look on his face.

 It's just the habit of "writing" and carving magnetic patterns, there are some discrepancies.

“How about going and taking a look?” Mo Hua tentatively asked.

"well…"

Gu Changhuai raised his eyebrows, "What do you see?"

 At first glance, it looks like the study room of a pampered, disciple of a famous family.

Mo Hua was startled for a moment, then understood in his heart, and nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped."

 Mo Hua was a little dissatisfied with his arrogant look, so he asked:

“Then do you know who this monk is pretending to be a guest?”

 “Password!”

The two larger ones are luxuriously decorated and have a strong smell of powder. Men and women go together in the shop, and people come and go, making it very lively.

 “Those old flowers and willows, what’s so fun about them?”

"I'm learning the formation from Mr. Xun..."

“Hua Laoliu...where have you been?”

 Other than that, there are two things that make Mo Hua care about.

This trip was just to inquire about information. Gu Changhuai did not mobilize troops or call other people from the Daoting Division.

 “Invisible” from cause and effect.

 The expressions in the ink paintings are somewhat subtle.

 There are four rouge shops in Bishan City.

On the screen on the side, there is also a colorful peacock embroidered, with its neck held high and the screen open with a proud face, looking very coquettish.

Gu Changhuai shook his head.

 The most different thing is that this order is actually one-way.

  Magnetic pattern restoration is a relatively unpopular and extremely "professional" formation. How could he have so much knowledge and time to study it...

Gu Changhuai was shocked.

Mo Hua felt a little guilty, but still corrected him:

 “It’s not broken!”

 Gu Changhuai knew that Mo Hua was coming and sighed:

"come in."

"You are dead…"

But then I thought about it, even if it was restored by Tianshu Pavilion, it would still be bad.

Moreover, the whole shop exudes a strange sense of dissonance.

Uncle Gu has never heard of it, which means that it is probably someone hiding in the dark...

  And the order is messed up.

This is a jade medal, which is white and has some emerald color.

 The carriage drove quickly, bumping along the way, and soon arrived at Bishan City.

 …

  The fixed magnetic patterns of the messengers are all different.

 Be confident in ink painting.

“Uncle Gu, do you have any clues about Fire Buddha?”

Gu Changhuai was a little surprised, "What do I want to give you?"

 There don’t seem to be many clues in it.

 Arrived at Gu's house, Yu'er went to report her homework to Wen Renwan.

 The ink painting copied the fixed magnetic patterns on the array plate, and then through the "Annotation of Fixed Magnetic Patterns" that I studied, I compared them one by one and roughly understood the meaning of these magnetic patterns.

Gu Changhuai didn't care about Mo Hua's displeasure.

 Or is it just a coincidence?

 “Bullshit…”

Industry specializing in surgery.

Gu Changhuai was suffocated, sighed, and said helplessly: "Follow me to Daotingsi, and I will give you the order to pass the message. You can try it..."

 Can only receive messages in one direction and cannot transmit text outwards.

Gu Changhuai spoke to Wen Renwan, and then took the ink painting and set off to return to Daotingsi.

 Suspicious, it is the last one.

Mo Hua took out the letter of communication and handed it to Gu Changhuai:

Mo Hua nodded slightly.

 In general, it is all known information.

He silently looked at the ink painting again, his mind fluctuating, then turned his head and looked intently at the restored text on the array disk.

 …

Gu Changhuai glanced at the ink painting and said, "Do you know?"

 “It’s really...restored...”

On the array disk on the side, the magnetic ink condensed and gradually appeared, and a few words were restored:

 I am not as good as the master. If I want to save my life, I must learn to be "invisible".

 “The first day of November…”

The name of the shop is "Rouge Shop". It is located in an alley. The shop is neither big nor small, there are few people and it is very quiet.

Although Vulture is strong, it is not strong enough to be able to carry out the large-scale prohibited "trading" on its own.

 This means that the vultures...

 “Mr. Xun…”

Gu Changhuai snorted softly, "How can you hide this from me with just a blind trick..."

 A crane is given to the "gongzi".

  This is the only clear place name in the entire order.

Mo Hua is too young, it would be good if he could learn some basic formations solidly.

Soon, words began to appear on the array...

 Also in charge of building the formation...

 In the future, when you have the strength and connections, or find out the secrets inside, you can find a way to get to the bottom of this matter.

The Yuan Magnetic Formation is a secret formation. Most monks will not learn it. Even if they learn it, they will not be able to master it.

 When he thought of this, Gu Changhuai made up his mind.

 “Hmm,” Mo Hua nodded.

Gu Changhuai didn't want to take him with him, but he knew that he would definitely not be able to get rid of Mo Hua, so he didn't waste his efforts. He just emphasized:

Gu Changhuai said coldly: "You know quite a lot. Even if you break something, you can still make a lot of sense..."

Mo Hua sighed.

Has a deep-rooted interest chain.

 “Then you can only rely on me...”

Gu Changhuai was slightly surprised and nodded.

 But generally speaking, it’s still understandable…

Mo Hua raised his eyebrows proudly.

"It's possible that it was sent by the Fire Buddha's subordinates..."

“Those guests coming and going, although there are men and women, with different appearances, they are all the same person..."

 There seems to be no problem with these three companies.

But now, Yu'er is by Mo Hua's side, eating well and sleeping well, and has abundant energy. Naturally, those missed practice lessons will be made up for.

“Uncle Gu, please help me take it apart...”

There must be more criminal cultivators in this trafficking chain.

Mo Hua blinked and said:

"It's just... I accidentally took it apart, and it got a little cracked, which is not very beautiful, but I've fixed it!"

 “Bishan City, Rouge Shop…”

Mo Hua pondered for a moment, sighed, and silently put this "message order" into his own ring.

 “I am here to learn magnetic pattern reduction…”

If you don’t take a gamble now, once the Fire Buddha runs away, even if the order is restored, it will be useless at all.

Gu Changhuai shook his head, but he obviously didn't want to say anything more.

 He may be just a small boss.

 Some monks went in occasionally, but after a while, they all came out again.

Mo Hua saw that he was startled and looked like he had never seen the world, so he didn't care about him and said that he was a "little bad guy". Mo Hua said proudly:

 One hundred and seventy-six. Two hundred and thirty. One hundred and thirty-seven. Ninety

Gu Changhuai wanted to demolish it, but he hesitated before doing it.

He took out the compass, copied the underlying pattern, and then used his spiritual consciousness to peer into and record the secondary thunder pattern.

 “The whole family died…”

Hwarang Jun and Huo Buddha are in the same group. They make an appointment to go to Bishan City together to exterminate the Xie family.

Gu Changhuai looked at the ink painting indifferently, with a look on his face that said, "Tell me again and let me hear your excuses."

Gu Changhuai fell silent.

Gu Changhuai looked at the ink paintings silently, frowned and said:

 But when people are under the eaves, they have to lower their heads...

Mo Hua looked around and saw that there was no seat in front of the desk, so he moved a stool from the side, placed it in front of the desk, and sat face to face with Gu Changhuai.

 It's even possible that this is where they are hiding...

 Before this, no one can know about this summons.

Looking at the long list of "Spiritual Animal Accounts" that had been restored, Mo Hua frowned slightly, feeling confused in his heart.

 A member of the Gu family led the way and brought the ink painting to Gu Changhuai's study.

He divided the order by three times, five times, and two times, and he took apart the order with delicate techniques and skillful movements.

Behind them, it is also very possible that there is some "big monk" who is covering up the secret for them...

Gu Changhuai sighed again.

Gu Changhuai pointed at the cracked and tattered letter of communication. His hands were shaking a little and his voice was so angry that his voice changed.

This kind of thing cannot be dealt with for the time being...

Gu Changhuai was a little confused and didn't know what to say.

 “You little villain...are you talking about me?”

 “I really learned how to restore magnetic patterns!”

Gu Changhuai sat at a mahogany desk inlaid with gold.

 After thinking about it for a moment, Gu Changhuai said slowly:

“Tianshu Pavilion has retreated...”

There is another one whose business is not doing well and is about to close down.

"This is…"

You, a young foundation-building monk, can also learn it?

This is a method that only the great formation master in Tianshu Pavilion knows...

Mo Hua looked happy, then was startled, and looked at Gu Changhuai unhappily.

Gu Changhuai was startled for a moment, then stood in awe.

 After that, the two of them took a carriage and headed to Bishan City.

 Even if you are proficient, most of them are still building formations.

 How does he know this?

Moreover, such a large number of monks are selling things, but on the surface it is calm and there are no clues.

Gu Changhuai looked at the ink painting expressionlessly, "I'm just not proficient in formations, I'm not really 'formation blind'..."

"No no…"

“Uncle Gu, is there a rouge shop in Bishan City?” Mo Hua asked again.

Seeing that Uncle Gu was still angry, Mo Hua quickly said: "These are not the important points..."

 Gu Changhuai was relieved.

"Uh-huh!"

I am a young monk, alone in the border of Qianxue State, with no one to rely on. If I overestimate my ability and rashly intervene in this kind of thing, I will be targeted by the "black hands" behind the scenes, and I may not be able to protect myself.

 “The sacrifice of this messenger is valuable!”

Just letting Mo Hua try to "restore" Huarangjun's order, Gu Changhuai was still a little worried.

 The next day, ten days off.

This shows that the "Vulture" group has a long-term and stable criminal process.

 Ink paintings are a bit "insincere".

 Then, it is deduced through the array disk, using the fixed magnetic patterns and adding secondary thunder patterns.

Mo Hua and Gu Changhuai drank a pot of tea and two plates of pine nuts at a nearby teahouse while staring at the rouge shop.

 He learned the Yuan Magnetic Array in order to "restore" the magnetic patterns and restore the erased words in the messenger order.

Mo Hua nodded "reservedly".

Mo Hua nodded repeatedly.

Mo Hua looked at it for a moment, then entered with his spiritual consciousness and peered into the order. He saw that there was a blank space in the order, and it had indeed been erased.

  Either it is the place of joint.

 Gu Changhuai still didn’t believe it.

Gu Changhuai shook his head. He didn't expect that his dignified Dian Si, who was in the Golden Core Realm, would be reduced to the point where he had to rely on a young monk who had just started to find clues...

 “There are no customers in this shop…”

"Uh-huh."

Gu Changhuai looked at the ink painting suspiciously, "Don't tell me, in the past few days, you have learned to 'restore' the magnetic pattern of the messenger?"

 The direct descendants of a family with a strict family tradition have very strict requirements for spiritual practice.

 Mo Hua and Gu Changhuai, after reading these words, looked at each other and frowned.

They are not just simply "trafficking", they are probably secretly doing "trafficking" on a large scale by monks.

 The ink painting will enter the door in a big way.

Gu Changhuai was dissatisfied, "Either the formation masters from Tianshu Pavilion are too high-ranking for me to hire, or they don't have time and can't help, or they find it too troublesome... In short, no one wants to take the job of Daotingsi..."

 Because the thunder patterns are ever-changing, no matter how keen the observation in ink painting is, there will always be some omissions.

“Don’t forget the three chapters of the agreement!”

Gu Changhuai sighed and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and said solemnly:

 “Don’t tell anyone else about restoring magnetic patterns.”

With such a master teaching ink painting, everything seems to make sense...

After taking it apart, the letter-passing order revealed the underlying formation pattern, and Gu Changhuai handed the letter-passing order to Mo Hua.

 There is no 100% reliable “restore” method.

 “Hua Laoliu?”

"I believe what you say?" Gu Changhuai glared at Mo Hua angrily, "Why didn't you tell me that you had built a large formation?"

 One is "gongzi".

 “I said yes, do you believe it?”

Then the ink painting followed the same method, using the fixed magnetic patterns as the benchmark and the secondary thunder patterns as the traces of the magnetic current "contract", and began to deduce it again.

"Then..." Mo Hua asked again, "Has Hwarang-kun's order of communication been restored?"

 It fits the "stereotype" impression of Uncle Gu in Mo Hua.

Seeing that he didn’t have much reaction, Mo Hua couldn’t help but curiously said:

“Uncle Gu, have you seen it too?”

“Restore it to me and look at what I just preached. What word is it?”

 So there will always be some errors in words.

 Don’t be too dependent on others.

This child doesn’t think of himself as an outsider...

Master once warned himself that the first rafters will die first.

"Fire Buddha and the others are still very cautious..."

 Do the two "gongzi" here refer to the same person?

 Who is this "young master"?

Suddenly, Mo Hua remembered the restored "accounts" text on the Vulture's messenger. There was a record in it:

“On the 20th, after hundreds of flowers, I got a crane and gave it to the young master…”

Gu Changhuai pondered, "How many..."

 “Big brother is very angry and the consequences will be serious.”

 …

 The types of formation methods are complex and vast, and even some great formation masters cannot be proficient in all of them.

Mo Hua glanced at Gu Changhuai and asked in a low voice:

“Uncle Gu, are there any sinners with many evil deeds who are nicknamed ‘Young Master’?”

There may even be a "black umbrella" behind the scenes...

Facts speak louder than words, and it seems that I can only show my hand.

  After all, this is the border of Qianxue State. There are too many disciples from aristocratic families, and there are many called "gongzi".

"If you get **** in your head again this time and cause serious problems, I will castrate you..."

 Gu Changhuai had obviously thought of this.

 After that, Mo Hua got down to business.

 “Why do you seem... quite happy...”

That can’t be helped.

 “This tone is not like that of the Fire Buddha…”

If someone else restores it, then wouldn’t you learn it in vain?

　　　“After the deed is accomplished, the young master will reward you with a high-quality gift…”

 Can't cause them too much trouble.

"Uncle Gu, don't you believe it..." Mo Hua said.

The ink painting’s eyes sparkle.

He was completely stunned. He looked at the ink painting with a puzzled look on his face, "You...really restored it?"

 “How long has it been and you’ve already broken it?!”

 The disciple of the Gu family who led the way only led the ink painting to the door, then bowed and left.

 The way Gu Changhuai looked at Mo Hua was even more different.

“Uncle Gu, use the messenger order to secretly send a message here, don’t let me know, then erase it and I will ‘restore’ it to you…”

Gu Changhuai sneered, "Why, have you really ever built a large formation?"

There is indeed a lot of rouge and gouache on display in the store, but the quality is very old, and they are obviously old goods.

“When the deed is accomplished, the young master will reward you with a high-quality gift, something you will never be able to lick in your lifetime...”

 The matter has come to this, no matter what, we must go and see it.

  It is a link in the entire “trafficking chain”.

When Gu Changhuai saw the ink painting with a calm expression and skillful technique, he drew a bunch of formation patterns that he had never seen before, and made complex deductions in a decent manner, the anger in his heart gradually turned into astonishment.

Although one look at Uncle Gu's face, he knew that there must be no clues and little progress, but Mo Hua still asked as usual.

The fixed magnetic pattern of this messenger is very different from that of the vulture.

Although he didn't know the identity of Mr. Xun in Mo Hua's words, he could teach formations at Taixu Gate, one of the eight gates, and was respectfully called "Mr. Extraordinary.

Mo Hua's eyebrows were happy, but he still expressed regret.

 He is afraid that if he dismantles it, it will be dismantled again.

 The same is true for formations.

Although he couldn't understand it, he also knew that this kind of deduction method was by no means trivial...

 Gu Changhuai frowned in thought and shook his head, "I haven't heard of it..."

Mo Hua picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said in a low voice without showing any emotion:

 He actually wanted to believe it, and he was willing to believe it, but his reason made it difficult for him to believe it.

Gu Changhuai’s face turned ugly, “No, it can’t be restored...”

 “Little bad guy…”

"this…"

"If something goes wrong, everyone will die..."

Mo Hua seemed to see through Gu Changhuai’s thoughts and asked:

“Uncle Gu, where is Hwarang-kun’s order now?”

After looking at it for more than an hour, Mo Hua let out a light "Huh".

 Either there is a hidden whistle.

 The only clue now is another place that Mo Hua cares about.

Mo Hua Zhengse said: "Those who practice Taoism should not be deceived by appearances, but should pay attention to the essential functions of things..."

Gu Changhuai frowned and asked, "How do you know?"

Mo Hua said: "Because not long ago, I was the one who captured him and sent him to Tao Prison!"
