MTL - Asking About Longevity

Chapter 641 Jia Ren

"He is a traitor from Duanjinmen. He stole things from the Xie family. The Xie family sent the mission to the sect. Senior sister Murong, me, and senior brother Feng accepted the mission and came to Bishan City to capture him. Then we sent him to the prison. Entered the prison..."

Mo paintings are concise and concise.

“This person will be disguised. His body will be made of flesh and blood. It will be twisted and deformed, and his appearance cannot be seen clearly. Moreover, he has practiced the Golden Gate Escape Technique. His body turns into golden light and he can run very fast..."

Mo Hua added.

Gu Changhuai’s eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a deep voice:

 “Stealing things from Xie’s family…”

"After that, the Xie family was wiped out..."

Mo Hua nodded.

He had not thought of this before, but now that he saw the traitor in Jinmen, he felt that there was something very strange about it.

and…

Gu Changhuai is not in a hurry, and Mo Hua is even less anxious.

Every time he comes in or out, he changes his face and dress, as if he doesn't want to attract other people's attention.

Gu Changhuai is also concise and concise.

 It’s like…throwing away “garbage”…

 Bishan City was built on a steep mountain.

 Gu Changhuai's eyes narrowed, "It's possible..."

Beside the streets, there are often scattered and unfathomable cliffs and ravines.

 I am a good monk who studies the boundaries of the state and abides by the law!

　　He is a good disciple of Taixu Sect, a law-abiding disciple!

 It won’t happen one day.

  If…

 In the rouge shop, coming and going.

  “Supernumerary.”

 How to find clues.

Know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

 “That one of yours won’t work.”

 Destroy stolen property…

He threw these storage bags into these cliffs and ravines while no one was paying attention.

Mo Hua quietly stared at him with his consciousness and found that he had not gone far, but was just wandering around aimlessly with these storage bags.

 After throwing it away, come back to pick it up, and then continue to throw it away...

"Why?"

Gu Changhuai took a sip of tea and said calmly:

 “No hurry, let’s take a look first…”

 And it seems that his behavior has been going on for quite some time.

Mo Hua looked at the rouge shop again and asked:

“Uncle Gu, what are we going to do next? Are we going to arrest someone?”

 Is there a mole in Daotingsi?

The ink painting didn't say it clearly, but Gu Changhuai obviously understood the meaning of the ink painting, and his expression became more solemn.

 But this does not prevent you from learning more and gaining more experience.

 When he went out, he had three or four storage bags with him.

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, "Can Daotingsi's waist badge also be used to pass messages? Then this one of mine..."

 The world of cultivation is very profound and complicated.

Mo Hua whispered: "How did he get out of the prison? Is it..."

Of course, this is just an assumption.

Not only do you need to learn the methods of cultivating the Tao, but also having an understanding of worldly affairs is also a kind of knowledge.

Who said that non-staff people have no human rights? They do the same thing and get different treatment.

Gu Changhuai took out Daotingsi's golden waist badge and seemed to be sending some message.

How to arrest someone?

So Mo Hua sat down patiently and continued to drink tea, staring at Gu Changhuai and Rouge Shop, observing the movement of the Jinmen traitor.

The traitor's behavior is also very strange.

Mo Hua knocked on the pine nuts and approached Gu Changhuai, as if chatting about gossip, and asked for advice in a low voice:

"Uncle Gu, is he... selling stolen goods?"

One day in the future, I will be wanted by Daotingsi and chased by Uncle Gu. How can I escape from him...

 “I’ll have someone check it out.”

He was also very curious and wanted to know how Uncle Gu, as the Daoting Si Dian Si, handled cases on weekdays.

But Mo Hua noticed that every time he walked in, he only had one storage bag with him.

Mo Hua was helpless, "Okay..."

 “Then let’s… arrest him now and get both the stolen goods and the others?”

Gu Changhuai shook his head.

“He has been selling the stolen goods for some time. It is obvious that there is a lot of stolen goods and cannot be rushed..."

 “If you catch him hastily, you may alert the enemy.”

“If there are any minions, or ears and eyes of the Fire Buddha nearby, they will be noticed once they make a move..."

 “We must wait for an opportunity to catch him quietly while avoiding the eyes of others...”

Mo Hua nodded.

Gu Changhuai was about to say something else, but suddenly his expression changed. He picked up the badge, glanced at it lightly, and then put it back.

With sharp eyes, Mo Hua said:

 “Have you found the mole?”

Gu Changhuai glanced at the ink painting and sighed: "No..."

"No?" Mo Hua frowned, "I entered Taoist prison and was released so quickly. Isn't it because of the inner ghost?"

Gu Changhuai shook his head, "He was released according to the rules."

Mo Hua was a little surprised.

Gu Changhuai said: "I asked someone to turn over the file..."

“This person’s name is Jia Ren and he has no criminal record…”

“The Xie family said that the storehouse was stolen, but they did not say what was lost, and no spiritual weapons, elixirs or secret books were found on this person that were marked by the Xie family’s storehouse..."

 “Stealing cannot be punished.”

 “As for breaking the Golden Gate…”

“Duanjinmen’s side said they misunderstood. This person is not a disciple of Duanjinmen. There was someone else who stole Duanjinmen’s inheritance and rebelled against Duanjinmen…”

“So, he is not considered a traitor to the Golden Gate.”

“The only thing that can be convicted is that he worked as a ‘secret prostitute’ in a brothel that was illegally set up..."

"but…"

Gu Changhuai’s expression was a little subtle, “He is a man again…”

"So, Daotingsi could only imprison him for a month on the charges of 'fraud' and 'indecent behavior', and then released him..."

“There’s no way of knowing what’s behind this matter, but at least on the surface, there’s nothing wrong with it…”

Mo Hua is speechless.

 This is also okay?

He took another look at "Jia Ren" who was wearing a lot of skins and looked the same for a while, and he cursed in his heart.

 This man has nothing to do with anything but ghosts...

  But what followed was more doubts:

 First of all, it’s the Xie family…

Did the Xie family lose anything?

 If lost, what was lost?

 Did "Jia Ren" steal it?

 If it was not lost, why did the Xie family lie?

 Does this thing have anything to do with the Xie family being exterminated?

Over at Golden Gate, why did they initially say that "Jia Ren" was a traitor, but then deny it?

 What happened here?

 The Xie family was wiped out, and the Fire Buddha disappeared...

What specifically do these things have to do with Jia Ren?

While Mo Hua was thinking, he suddenly saw a change in Jia Ren's trajectory.

A group of Bishan City Dao Tingsi officers were on routine patrol and passed by this place, which aroused Jia Ren's vigilance.

It was not convenient for him to sell the stolen goods, so he took three storage bags, found a secluded road, and walked towards the uninhabited mountains to the north.

Mo Hua glanced at Gu Changhuai.

Gu Changhuai's eyes lit up as expected, he put down three spiritual stones on the table, then stood up and left.

Mo Hua calculated in his mind that these three spirit stones also included his tea money, so he nodded with satisfaction, then stood up and left, quietly following Gu Changhuai.

 The back mountain to the north of Bishan City is even steeper.

Jia Ren is very alert.

His disguise this time was to play the role of a stocky monk, carrying a bamboo basket for collecting herbs on his back, walking around and around the mountain road, occasionally stopping to look back at the mountain.

 Gu Changhuai and Mo Hua could only follow from a distance.

 Fortunately, both of them have very strong consciousness, so it is impossible for Jia Ren to escape.

Mo Hua asked: "Uncle Gu, do you want to take action?"

 Gu Changhuai nodded.

 “How to catch it?” Mo Hua asked again.

 To capture someone alive, be quick, accurate, and decisive without giving "Jia Ren" a chance to react or escape.

 Nor give him a chance to inform him...

Mo Hua was quite good at arresting people, but he still wanted to hear what Uncle Gu, or Daotingsi, would usually do.

 When you have a solution, you can ask Uncle Gu to "check the answer", so that he can check for omissions and make up for them, and strive for excellence.

Gu Changhuai’s thoughts were all on Jia Ren and Huo Buddha. He had no doubt about their presence and said in a calm voice:

“On the road he must pass, set up traps and set up formations to ambush...”

“There are shackles on the ground, and the shackles are covered with quenching poison…”

“The formation uses a sonic boom formation to make him temporarily unconscious..."

 “Take the opportunity to subdue it…”

“Then his limbs were sealed with spiritual chains…”

“Be well prepared, move quickly, and strike hard. Don’t give him a chance to fight back, and don’t give him a chance to commit suicide…”

“This is the basic process of Daotingsi arresting people...”

 …

Gu Changhuai was talking here, Mo Hua was standing aside, and he kept nodding.

Although he knew some things before, the details were very different, and there were many things he could learn from...

After Gu Changhuai finished speaking, he also told Mo Hua:

"Remember, we have three chapters of agreement, don't take action."

"Uh-huh."

Mo Hua agreed.

Gu Changhuai nodded slightly, and then in a flash, he climbed up and down from the rugged rocks and rushed to the front of Jia Ren.

 The ink paintings followed quietly.

But he just hid aside, let go of his consciousness, and watched honestly.

Jia Ren walked forward without knowing anything.

 His destination is a cliff ahead.

Gu Changhuai laid out several arrays specially made by Daotingsi in front of the cliff, and buried a few shackles in the ground.

His technique is skillful and his movements are clean and neat.

 And the traps are well laid out.

With a humble and studious attitude, Mo Hua also kept Dao Tingsi’s trap-laying techniques and habits in mind.

 Everything was ready, and Gu Changhuai was lying in ambush.

 A moment later, Jia Ren appeared.

He looked around and found nothing unusual, so he walked towards the cliff step by step. At the same time, he took out the storage bag from his body and wanted to throw it down the cliff.

After just a few steps, there was a "thump" under my feet and a sharp pain came from me.

"not good!"

Jia Ren looked down and saw a shackle, like a tiger's mouth, biting his calf.

There is green poison on the shackles.

 The venom spreads along the blood and throughout his body.

The numbness gradually spreads.

 Trap, anesthetic!

Jia Ren's expression changed drastically. He didn't care, he endured the pain and pulled hard, tearing off a large piece of flesh on his calf. He broke free from the shackles and turned around to run away.

 But at this moment, the sonic boom arrays in the four corners exploded. Mo Hua stood outside the formation and heard only a slight dull noise.

While Jia Ren was in the formation, he felt dizzy, his ears were ringing and his consciousness was sluggish for a while.

 The flesh and blood all over his body seemed to be trembling from the sound waves.

But within a moment, a jade pendant on Jia Ren's body broke into pieces, and a clear light flashed, and Jia Ren came back to his senses.

“Daotingsi’s sonic boom array?”

Jia Ren's pupils trembled. He stretched out his hand and took out a talisman.

But within a moment, a wind blade struck him, leaving a **** mark on his arm, and the talisman fell down.

 This wind blade technique is fast and sharp.

Jia Ren turned around and saw Gu Changhuai with an indifferent expression.

  Sensing Gu Changhuai's aura, Jia Ren looked desperate.

 “Golden elixir?!”

Before Jia Ren could do anything else, Gu Changhuai's figure was like the wind, and he was already close to Jia Ren. He pinched Jia Ren's shoulder with one hand, and with a surge of spiritual power, he crushed Jia Ren's left arm in an instant.

Jia Ren broke out in cold sweat from the pain, his eyes were horrified, then he shook his right hand, pinched a few pills in his sleeve, and took the opportunity to stuff them into his mouth.

Gu Changhuai pointed his hand and a wind blade cut off the tendon of Jia Ren's right hand.

Jia Ren lowered his right hand, and several pills fell to the ground.

 The elixir is eerie green.

Gu Changhuai has rich experience and can tell at a glance that these are poisonous pills that can cause death.

 “Want to commit suicide?”

Gu Changhuai's eyes narrowed, and suddenly he felt something was wrong. He looked up and saw that Jia Ren had broken a tooth and wanted to swallow it.

 Is there poison in your teeth?

Gu Changhuai's eyes flashed coldly, and he quickly strangled Jia Ren's neck with his right hand, and punched Jia Ren in the abdomen with his left hand.

Jia Ren groaned in pain and spit out the poisonous teeth in his mouth.

He tried to resist and struggle again, but his methods were exhausted, and even his death-seeking tricks were defeated.

At the same time, the anesthetic on the shackles was already flowing throughout the body with the blood.

Jia Ren's eyes and thoughts were not good, but his consciousness gradually became dim. He closed his eyes and fainted.

Gu Changhuai took out the chains and locked all Jia Ren's limbs, then removed his teeth, picked him up and threw him behind a hidden rock.

 At this point, Jia Ren was captured.

Mo Hua looked a little dazed.

This Uncle Gu seems to be a little different from what I thought.

Ming clearly looks very conceited, as if he doesn’t take others seriously.

 But he acts very meticulously.

Even if he is a Jindan Diansi, he must be extremely serious and cautious when arresting a foundation-building monk, and his plans must be thorough, leaving no room for any surprises.

 Do not give the opponent any chance to escape.

 Don’t even give him a chance to commit suicide!

 Ink painting has benefited a lot.

 Throughout the whole process, Mo Hua listened to Gu Changhuai's words honestly and did not intervene rashly.

 At this time Jia Ren had been subdued.

Mo Hua then came out of his hiding place and ran to Gu Changhuai. He looked at Jia Ren who was unconscious and said with some surprise:

“This Jia Ren actually wants to commit suicide?”

He has never encountered such a criminal cultivator who immediately seeks death as soon as he is caught and feels that there is no chance of improvement.

Gu Changhuai frowned and said in a deep voice:

“I was just taking precautions, so I did everything I needed to do, but I didn’t expect that this Jia Ren would really rather die than fall into my hands..."

 “This shows that…”

Gu Changhuai’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Mo Hua said: "...This person knows a lot, and he has a lot of secrets!"

Perhaps he is really related to the Xie family's extermination case, and it is also very possible that he really has clues about the Fire Buddha.

Even, know more things…

 “Are we going to be interrogated now?” Mo Hua asked.

"want."

Gu Changhuai nodded.

But before that, do a routine search of the storage bag.

Gu Changhuai opened all the four or five storage bags that Jia Ren had on him that were originally going to be discarded.

 The smell of blood came from the ground.

 As expected, it was all “stolen items”.

Some of them are spiritual weapons, or ghost-headed knives, or bone-eviscerating swords, or some disembowelled bladed halberds, all of which are stained with blood without exception.

As soon as Mo Hua saw the blood, he felt a buzz in his head and his eyes turned red.

In a sea of ​​fire, the Xie family monks died tragically and howled, and the ferocious figure came to mind again.

"This is... the blood of monks from the Xie family." Mo Hua said in a condensed voice.

Gu Changhuai was startled, "How do you know?"

Mo Hua said: "I can tell..."

Gu Changhuai was helpless, "That's all, just pretend I didn't ask..."

 In addition to these **** weapons, there are also some "clean" spiritual weapons.

There is no blood on it, and it seems not stained with murder.

 It is an ordinary spiritual weapon, and it is not used for killing.

Those that provide lighting, ventilation, fire protection, dust removal, incense and concentration...everything is available.

 They are some spiritual weapons commonly used in monks’ life.

Mo Hua and both of them were a little surprised.

“Are these things from the Xie family?”

“They killed the Xie family and robbed the Xie family’s property?”

 However, if you didn’t keep it for yourself after you robbed it, why should you throw it away now?

Isn’t it a waste of money?

 It is impossible to kill people and steal goods on a whim.

 After calming down, I regretted it. I was afraid that Daotingsi would find out and throw away the stolen goods and destroy the evidence...

Huo Buddha and his gang of sinners, who kill people like hemp, don’t look like this kind of people either...

Gu Changhuai’s eyes were cautious and he frowned in thought.

Mo Hua thought of something and his eyes lit up, "Could they... be looking for something?"

Gu Changhuai looked at the ink painting and asked, "Looking for something?"

"Hmm." Mo Hua considered it, "They wiped out the entire Xie family because they wanted to find something from the Xie family..."

“This Jia Ren, when he first went to Xie’s house, he also wanted to steal this thing...”

 “But he didn’t steal it…”

 “And this thing is very important, they must get it.”

“Then the fire Buddha destroyed the Xie family.”

“They collected all the things belonging to Xie’s family and took them out to look for them carefully. Then they burned Xie’s house to the ground and wiped out all traces…”

 “As for these things to be thrown away…”

“It’s because they looked for it but couldn’t find it, so they had to throw away the extra stuff…”

“And these, after killing people and destroying the family, the spiritual weapons with the blood of the Xie family monks must also be thrown away..."

“Lest you leave evidence of guilt and be caught by Daotingsi...”

 “Or maybe, leaving behind the cause and effect, someone will calculate it...”

 If these "stolen items" were to be forcibly destroyed in a refining furnace, the noise would be too great and it would take too long.

It would be better to take advantage of the topography of Bishan City and abandon these "stolen items" on the cliffs and deep ravines, quietly and without anyone knowing.

Even if someone discovers it later, I don’t know how many years it will be.

Gu Changhuai was a little surprised.

This kid's little head turns so fast, and he seems to be able to make sense.

 He thought for a while, nodded and said: "It is possible, but it is only a possibility. Don't be preconceived."

“Before the truth is known, it is easy to go astray by preconceptions about the problem..."

Gu Changhuai reminded.

"Um."

Mo Hua nodded.

Having said that, Mo Hua still feels that his guess is somewhat possible.

 At least, it is also a way of thinking.

Gu Changhuai flipped through Jia Ren's storage bag again.

Jia Ren’s storage bag is very ordinary.

Like ordinary monks, it contains spiritual stones, elixirs, spiritual weapons, and some jade slips of secret books.

 But when I looked at the ink painting, there was nothing special about it.

There are no signs of sealing, encryption, or erasure on the jade slips.

 Obviously, Jia Ren was very cautious and did not bring anything important with him.

Mo Hua looked at everything again.

 There is evidence for these things, but there are few clues.

It can only be proved that Jia Ren was related to the Xie family's extermination case, and it was very likely that he helped check out the situation beforehand and helped sell the stolen goods afterwards. This kind of relationship was deeply involved from beginning to end.

 But other than that, there are no other clues.

 Especially the clues about the Fire Buddha.

 In this case, we can only examine Jia Ren.

Gu Changhuai took out a pill and fed it to Jia Ren. Within a moment of burning the incense, Jia Ren frowned and woke up.

 He slowly opened his eyes.

 What came into view was Gu Changhuai's handsome but "hateful" face.

Gu Changhuai said coldly: "Are you from Fire Buddha?"

Jia Renwu sneered to himself, with an expression of waiting for death, and said nothing.

Gu Changhuai asked one sentence after another:

 “Where is the Fire Buddha?”

 “Why do you want to destroy the Xie family?”

 “What is your relationship with Fire Buddha?”

But Jia Ren was like a walking corpse, without any reaction, as if he didn't care about life or death.

Gu Changhuai frowned and lost his patience.

 In this case, he cannot do anything but punish him.

Gu Changhuai took out a second-grade "branding iron" torture instrument, with a fire array engraved on it. It burned red and burned the body, causing the skin to be charred and the flesh torn.

Jia Ren was in pain and his face twitched, but he still didn't say a word.

 The ink paintings on the side are somewhat unreadable.

"Uncle Gu, yours doesn't seem to work well..."

Mo Hua silently took out his "iron plate" and said, "Why don't you try it with mine?"

Gu Changhuai was stunned when he looked at the blood-stained iron plate.

Jia Ren on the other side heard this clear voice and realized that there was someone else here.

 Why is this voice so familiar?

And he is very similar to that kid whom I wish I could kill with a thousand knives...

Jia Ren glanced sideways with difficulty.

 A small fair face with picturesque features.

Jia Ren, who was like a walking corpse, instantly became like a "liar corpse", his eyes were about to split and he said:

"It's you?!"
