Asking about longevity

The news that the ancestor of the Qian family was an evil cultivator quickly spread throughout Tongxian City.

Everyone was surprised, but they didn't seem surprised.

After all, the Qian family's reputation is really bad and they have too many enemies.

Because of the ancestor of the Qian family, the Qian family was locked up and no monks were allowed to go out. Violators would be punished as having committed adultery.

When the ancestor of the Qian family is found, he will be convicted by Daotingsi, and then he will be punished.

"What will happen to the Qian family?"

In the Daoting Division, Mo Hua couldn't help but ask while drinking tea with Chief Zhou.

Mo Hua came to Daotingsi to help Chief Zhou.

The ancestor of the Qian family escaped, but his cave was still there. Daoting Si cleared his cave and confiscated all the items to see if there were any other clues or evidence of crime.

Chief Zhou didn't understand much about formations, so he asked Mo Hua to help.

Mo Hua was entrusted by the old boss to read them one by one and picked out the evil formations inside. He also found some other clues that could prove the relationship between the ancestors of the Qian family and Heishan Village.

In this way, the evidence for writing to the court is conclusive, and the documents written by Chief Zhou are also well-founded.

After being busy for a while, Boss Zhou invited Mo Hua to drink tea, and Mo Hua took advantage of his free time to ask Boss Zhou this question.

Chief Zhou's injury was not healed, and his face was still a little pale. He coughed and said slowly:

"The ancestor of the Qian family must be caught and executed no matter what, in order to abide by the laws of Taoism and serve as a warning to others."

"As for the other Qian family disciples...it can be light or serious."

Mo Hua was a little confused, "How should I say it?"

"Needless to say, if we talk about the crime more seriously, I wrote to the imperial court, saying that the Qian family colluded with Heishanzhai, collaborated with evil cultivators, killed people, and stole goods. Most of the Qian family's monks will be executed. Even if they don't die, they will have their homes confiscated and exiled, and their surnames will be deprived of them. , exiled from Tongxian City."

"To put it mildly, it means that the collusion with evil cultivators was all done by the ancestor of the Qian family, and the other disciples of the Qian family had no knowledge of it. In this way, even if the Taoist court holds people accountable, it will not be too serious. At most, the family property will be lost, and most of the Qian family disciples will , life should still be safe.

Director Zhou looked kindly and patiently explained the ink painting.

Mo Hua was surprised, "There is such a large operating space here, won't it breed corruption?"

Boss Zhou choked, coughed twice violently, and said out of breath:

"You kid, how dare you say anything..."

Mo Hua smiled sheepishly.

Boss Zhou couldn't do anything about the ink painting, and said helplessly: "It is true that he can..."

Headmaster Zhou sighed, "So in this world, some monks have committed serious crimes, but they can be protected by the Dao Tingsi and are safe and sound. Some monks have made small mistakes, but they have been executed because of offending the Dao Tingsi."

"I'm telling you this not to let you pay bribes, nor to let you accept bribes, but to let you understand the secrets involved and don't suffer any disadvantages in this regard when you encounter them in the future."

"Some things are actually very simple to solve if you know the way. But if you don't know the way, no matter how hard you try, you may hit a wall everywhere and end up in a mess."

Zhou Zhangsi spoke with great emphasis and sincerity.

Headmaster Zhou has been in Daotingsi for most of his life and knows the secrets inside.

These things may not be profound or complicated, but if no one points them out to the monks outside the Dao Tingsi, they may never understand them in their lifetime.

Mo Hua was grateful to Master Zhou for his guidance, patted his chest and said:

"Sir, if you need to draw formations in the future, just come to me!"

Headmaster Zhou couldn't laugh or cry, and then smiled and said: "Okay, then I will leave it to you, a little formation master!"

Mo Hua nodded confidently.

Within the scope of the first-level formation, he now had his hands in his pockets and was fearless. Looking around, he could no longer see any opponents.

Except of course Mr. Zhuang.

Then Mo Hua asked, "How will the Qian family deal with this matter?"

"What do you think?" Headmaster Zhou asked, with some prudence in his eyes.

Mo Hua held his chin and thought for a moment, then said:

"I think it's not good to be more serious or to be more lenient..."

"To be serious, there are too many casualties, and no matter how many monks in the Qian family commit evil, there will always be innocent people. One size fits all will not work."

"It won't work if you take it lightly. If the Qian family doesn't learn a lesson, it may get worse in the future."

"It's best to go through the old accounts, kill some of the people who have lives in their hands, or those with criminal records, and arrest some to serve as a warning to others. Then deprive the family of their property, let the remaining monks live a hard life, and go there in person Refining weapons, refining elixirs, or hunting monsters..."

"When people are at ease, they tend to feel nauseous. If they work hard every day and fall asleep as soon as they lie down, they won't have the time to think of bad ideas."

Boss Zhou's eyes lit up as he listened.

He neither intends revenge nor is he deliberately kind. He has a clear sense of good and evil in his heart, and everyone is dealt with accordingly.

He is indeed a good boy...

Boss Zhou smiled and said: "That's right, but he's a bit like a little old man who always talks about moderation in everything and acts impartially."

Mo Hua muttered: "Little old man, let's just be little old man..."

As long as things are done properly.

Mo Hua left Daotingsi and was about to go home, but met Master Luo halfway.

Master Luo said: "Mr. Xiao Mo, what a coincidence."

But when Mo Hua saw his expression, he was clearly prepared, and it didn't look like a "coincidence" at all.

"Master Luo, what can you do?"

"It would be better to meet by chance. I have a new cake of Tuanlong tea in my house. I wonder if Mr. Xiao Mo would like to show his appreciation and taste it together?"

Mo Hua, who had already drank a lot of tea, originally wanted to refuse, but Master Luo was too kind to refuse, and he was indeed curious about what "Tuanlong Tea" looked like, so he nodded in agreement.

Master Luo personally brought Mo Hua to his cave, took out the tea cakes with great care, made the tea himself and served it to Mo Hua.

"please!"

Mo Hua took a look at the color of the tea, which was light gold like ambergris, and took a sip of the tea soup, which was as mellow as dragon and musk deer.

It tasted much better than the tea that Chief Zhou invited him to drink.

Mo Hua couldn't help but sigh, looking at it like this, Master Luo's life was much more "corrupt" than that of Master Zhou...

"Good tea!" Mo Hua praised.

Although he didn't know what was good about it, it tasted really good.

Master Luo was praised by the ink painting, and his expression was as happy as a spring breeze.

Mo Hua took another sip, then approached Master Luo and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing." Master Luo Yun Danfeng said lightly, "I just want to invite Mr. Xiao Mo to taste tea."

Mo Hua looked at Master Luo with a look like "Only a ghost will believe you."

Master Luo was helpless and a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly and then lowered his voice and said:

"Master Qian wants to meet you."

"Master Qian?"

Master Luo sighed, "The incident involving the ancestor of the Qian family has caused uproar in the city. The Qian family is now banned. Master Qian cannot go out. He is worried and does not know the fate of the Qian family. So he asked someone to send a message and wanted to see you."

"But why are you meeting me?" Mo Hua was a little confused.

Master Luo said: "The Qian family is not well-connected. Although Master Qian is a formation master and has a wider circle of friends, he is helpless in this matter. In the end, I can only turn to you."

"Master Qian, what does he want to say to me?"

"I don't know about this, but it's nothing more than asking questions about how the Qian family will be dealt with."

Master Luo sighed slightly and said with emotion: "Such a big Qian family will collapse in the blink of an eye."

Mo Hua thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay."

Master Luo was overjoyed, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao Mo!"

After that, Mo Hua went to see Master Zhou and asked for a souvenir to enter Qian's house. Then he went to Qian's house and met with Master Qian.

Mo Hua used his spiritual consciousness to confirm in advance that there were no Qian elders or foundation-building monks around. There was indeed only Master Qian, and then he started talking to Master Qian.

Master Qian didn't ask anything else. As Master Luo said, it was just about the safety of the Qian family and the handling of Daoting.

For ink painting, this is a small matter, but for Master Qian, it is a matter of life and death.

However, this matter was ultimately decided by Daotingsi. It was impossible for Mo Hua to overstep his authority, so he could only briefly mention a few words and said:

"Dao Tingsi has a clear distinction between right and wrong. Everyone will not add insult to injury. The Qian family is guilty, but they will not kill everyone."

Master Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

Mo Hua asked again: "Master Qian, do you know about the Black Mountain Village?"

Master Qian smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He is just a formation master who studies formations behind closed doors. If you give him ten more courages, he would not dare to get involved in the affairs of evil cultivators.

Mo Hua nodded and said, "As long as you don't know anything, you're safe."

Master Qian has the strength of a first-class formation master. Real first-class formation masters are scarce everywhere.

Even if the Qian family is really severely punished and all members of the family are executed, as long as Master Qian really does not know about it, Daotingsi will find a way to keep him alive.

Just because he is a formation master.

Even if Daotingsi didn't say anything, relying on the friendship between the formation masters, he would ask the old boss to let Master Qian go.

Upon hearing this, Master Qian glanced at Mo Hua gratefully.

Master Qian sent the ink painting to the gate and said apologetically:

"The guilty person has no choice but to be sent here. Don't blame Mr. Xiao Mo."

"Master Qian, you're welcome."

Mo Hua turned around to leave, but was stopped by Master Qian again.

Master Qian bowed deeply to Mo Hua and said solemnly:

"I won't say thank you for your kindness. If Mr. Mo has errands to do in the future, Qian will not refuse even to the death!"

"Master Qian doesn't need to be polite."

Mo Hua also returned the gift, thinking that he might actually need Master Qian's help for something in the future.
