Asking about longevity

Bai Zixi said directly: "You are not allowed to go.

Mo Hua muttered in a low voice: "I didn't say I wanted to go either..."

Bai Zisheng frowned, "But if we don't go, how can we check on that gray-clothed monk?"

"Right……"

Mo Hua looked at Bai Zixi, and Bai Zisheng also looked at her.

Bai Zixi's autumn eyes flashed slightly, "It's okay to go, but I want to go together."

Bai Zisheng shook his head quickly.

Mo Hua also said: "Little senior sister, it's not appropriate for you to go."

Bai Zixi said: "You can go, and so can I. Anyway, we can go in invisible."

"this……"

Mo Hua was a little hesitant. Just when he was about to say something, he met Bai Zixi's glassy eyes and could only sigh:

"Fine……"

So it was evening, Hai hour.

As soon as night falls and the lanterns are hung, Jinhua Street is bustling with traffic and bustling.

Mo Hua and the others wrapped themselves in cloaks and climbed to the opposite side of Baihua Tower.

Baihua Tower is a brothel, and it is also the place where Wang Lai confessed that after killing people and hiding corpses, he met the monks in gray clothes.

Baihualou is gorgeously decorated.

There are flowers in front of the door, but no one is waiting outside.

But everyone who comes to this place knows why they come.

Bai Zisheng asked Mo Hua quietly: "How do we get in?"

Mo Hua let go of his spiritual consciousness, peered for a while, frowned and said:

"A brothel actually created a Chenchen Formation..."

"Developing array?" Bai Zisheng was slightly startled.

"Chenchen formation." Mo Hua corrected.

Bai Zisheng was confused: "Is there any difference?"

"The principles of the formation are different."

Bai Zisheng was a little confused.

Mo Hua then explained: "The manifestation array and the appearance of objects will invalidate the concealment array and concealment techniques within the array range."

"The effect of the developing array is better, but it is an array that is higher than the first-grade nine lines. It requires high spiritual consciousness, is difficult to learn, uses special ink, and is expensive to set up."

"The Demonic Dust Formation is an earth-based formation, with seven lines per grade. It is easy to arrange and the cost is low."

"Unlike the Appearance Array, the Appearance Array does not invalidate the concealment. Instead, it generates fine dust inside the formation. Once the concealed monk passes through the formation, it will be stained with dust and traces will appear."

"The developing array makes concealment ineffective in principle;"

"The Chenchen Appearance Formation indirectly makes the monks appear through external objects."

Bai Zisheng was a little surprised, "You researched it in such detail?"

"Yes." Mo Hua nodded proudly, "The art of formation is broad and profound, so naturally it needs to be studied more carefully."

Bai Zisheng opened his mouth and asked again:

"Isn't it not good for a brothel to open a shop to welcome customers and use dust-revealing arrays to make the guests covered in dust?"

"Hmm..." Mo Hua carefully observed the formation again and said:

"This dust is a cheap spice. Ordinary monks who don't understand the formation will only think that they are stained with powder and will not realize that this is the effect of the formation."

"Furthermore, the effectiveness of the Dust Demonstration Formation is limited. This kind of dust will only last for one cup of tea and will gradually disappear..."

"A cup of tea..." Bai Zisheng frowned, "Is that to prevent someone from hiding in the brothel and peeping?"

"It should be..." Mo Hua then became a little confused again, "Who would go to a brothel to peek..."

Bai Zisheng looked at the ink painting, looked at Bai Zixi, then looked down at himself, and said weakly:

"The three of us just want to go in and take a peek..."

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, frowned in thought, and then said seriously:

"We are going to look for clues. It's business, not voyeurism."

Bai Zisheng nodded, "That makes sense!"

Bai Zixi looked at the two people with helpless eyes.

"Since there is a dust formation, how do we get in?"

Bai Zisheng asked again.

Mo Hua also had some difficulties, "I can figure out the formation, but it's a bit difficult not to attract attention..."

"What about now, do you want to go back first?"

Mo Hua thought for a while, nodded and said:

"Let's go back first. There is a foundation in the brothel. We have been watching here for a long time, and he will probably notice it."

I'm not afraid of this ink painting.

Normal foundation building cannot reveal his concealment.

But it’s hard to tell the younger senior brother and younger senior sister.

The three of them secretly left again.

Bai Zisheng muttered on the way: "A brothel has a foundation to build a base..."

If it weren't for the foundation building, it would be much easier for them to do things.

He didn't take ordinary Qi refining monks seriously.

Mo Hua said: "This shows that the more people who make trouble in the brothel, the more spiritual stones they earn."

Bai Zisheng thought for a while and nodded.

Mo Hua sighed slightly as he thought about working hard in the mines and cultivating one spiritual stone a day.

The more informal the business, the more spiritual stones you can earn...

…

Gray-clothed monks appear in Baihua Tower.

Mo Hua wanted to go into Baihua Building to have a look, but he was in a hurry and couldn't think of any good solution.

There are too many people in Baihua Building, so it's not easy to sneak in secretly.

The most important problem is the dust formation.

The Chen Chen Formation is easy to deal with, but it is not easy to deal with it without anyone noticing.

And in addition to the dust display array at the door, there are probably some tiny dust display arrays in Baihua Building, door and window corridors, and on the beams in front of the house to prevent people from peeping.

Mo Hua was a little dissatisfied.

There must be some monks who use stealth to do bad things.

As a result, he now wants to use the stealth technique to do something serious and catch a bad guy, but he is also on guard.

In order to guard against villains, even gentlemen guard against villains...

After a few days, there was no progress.

Mo Hua just thought about it and made some insinuations to see if he could get some clues from other monks.

The best candidate is Elder Su.

He is a first-level formation master and a foundation-building elder of the Nanyue Sect. He must have a wide network of contacts and must be well-informed.

But Mo Hua was not sure whether Elder Su had anything to do with this matter, so he asked in a more cryptic manner and spoke very cautiously.

"Elder Su, what is there to do in Jinhua Street?"

Elder Su was not surprised.

Although Mo Hua is a first-grade formation master, he is still young after all. It is normal for a child to be a little more playful when he goes to a different place.

Elder Su then began to talk about ink painting.

Jinhua Street is the busiest place in Nanyue City.

What festivals, what scenery, what places to eat...

Which restaurant makes which dish the best, which restaurant has the best wine, which teahouse has the mellowest tea...

If he talks too much, Elder Su can't help but go astray.

For example, which table in which casino is the easiest to win, and which female nun in which building is the most...

Elder Su's words stopped here.

"What's the best?" Mo Hua asked.

Elder Su was sweating profusely and said awkwardly: "Not suitable for children, not suitable for children..."

Mo Hua said suspiciously: "Elder Su, are you familiar with this kind of thing..."

Elder Su was shocked, "No, no, I didn't...don't taint someone's innocence!"

"Oh..." Mo Hua obviously didn't believe it.

Elder Su smiled awkwardly again.

Mo Hua wanted to ask more, but saw a disciple coming over and Fu Er said something to Elder Su.

Elder Su looked troubled.

Mo Hua knew what was going on and said, "Elder Su, you are busy, I will take my leave now."

Elder Su also quickly stood up and returned the courtesy, "I'm really sorry for the visitor. I'll prepare a banquet the other day to apologize to the young gentleman."

Mo Hua waved his hand, "You're welcome, elder."

I was a little curious in my heart, what kind of banquet could Elder Su prepare? I wonder if there would be anything delicious.

Elder Su sent the ink painting out. As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, a monk in rich attire walked towards him. He was middle-aged, handsome and gentle.

Mo Hua was a little surprised, "Master Lu?"

The person who came was none other than the head of the Lu family who had a relationship with Mo Hua.

The guest that Elder Su wants to entertain should be the head of the Lu family.

Mo Hua learned from Elder Su that the name of the head of the Lu family was Lu Chengyun.

Lu Chengyun was not surprised when he saw Mo Hua. He smiled and said in a gentle tone:

"Mr. Xiao Mo."

They greeted each other and said hello.

Mo Hua exchanged a few brief greetings and planned to leave, but unexpectedly, he was kept by Lu Chengyun.

"Young sir, we can have some tea together."

Mo Hua was a little confused, "Don't you have something to discuss with Elder Su?"

Lu Chengyun said: "It's nothing important, just sharing some formation experience. The young gentleman is also an formation master and has good attainments in formation. Why don't we chat together."

Mo Hua thought for a moment and then agreed.

There must be something wrong with the Lu family's mine.

But he was not familiar with the Lu family.

If you contact the head of the Lu family, you might be able to get some clues.

But Lu Chengyun can be the head of the family, so the city is naturally very deep. He and Mo Hua chatted for a long time, without mentioning the mines and mine repairs at all. They really just talked about formations.

And Lu Chengyun's formation attainments also surprised Mo Hua.

The head of the family is busy with affairs and may not have the time and attention to study formations, but Lu Chengyun's knowledge of formations is actually more advanced than Elder Su.

No wonder he has a close relationship with Elder Su.

After chatting a few more words about formations, Lu Chengyun's attitude toward Mo Hua became even more friendly, and there was unconcealable admiration in his eyes.

Lu Chengyun paused and suddenly asked:

"Mr. Xiao Mo, have you ever been married?"

Mo Hua was drinking tea and choked when he heard the words, "Not yet... not yet..."

Lu Chengyun's eyes lit up even more, "I don't know..."

Mo Hua coughed, why:

"I'm still young, so I won't consider it for now."

Lu Chengyun was not displeased, but showed an understanding expression and secretly pushed a booklet to Mo Hua.

"This is part of the Lu family's genealogy."

Lu Chengyun said nothing else and only gave Mo Hua a meaningful look.

Mo Hua gently opened the family tree and found that those recorded on it were all direct descendants of the Lu family, and they were all women of the right age.

Turning to the back, there are portraits of beautiful female cultivators.

Mo Hua was a little helpless.

Lu Chengyun smiled calmly, while Elder Su drank tea silently, pretending not to see anything.

After drinking tea and talking about formations, Lu Chengyun stood up and left.

Before leaving, Lu Chengyun patted the ink painting again and said softly:

"Don't be in a hurry, take your time and watch."

Mo Hua doesn’t know what to say.

Lu Chengyun turned around to leave, but then seemed to suddenly remember something, turned back to Mo Hua and said:

"Lu has a question. I wonder if I can ask Mr. Xiao?"

Mo Hua was slightly startled, nodded and said, "You can ask."

"It might be a little presumptuous."

"It's fine."

Lu Chengyun nodded and asked:

"The aura around the young gentleman's body is obscure and cannot be detected with spiritual consciousness. Could it be that... there is a spiritual weapon that masks the aura?"

Mo Hua's eyes moved slightly, and then he said in a sincere tone:

"That's right, the head of the family has really good eyesight!"

Lu Chengyun breathed a sigh of relief, then cupped his hands and said, "Goodbye, I will talk to the young gentleman about formations when I have time the other day."

Mo Hua also cupped his hands and said, "Master Lu, walk slowly."

After Lu Chengyun left, Elder Su also breathed a sigh of relief and said to Mo Hua:

"He is the head of the family, and it is his duty to do this, and it is reasonable, but..."

Elder Su hesitated.

"But what?" Mo Hua asked curiously.

Elder Su thought for a moment and sighed:

"The Lu family has a lot of disputes. It's better not to enter if you can."

Mo Hua nodded.

Elder Su glanced at the ink painting, his eyes slightly condensed, his expression a little complicated, and he asked slowly:

"Mr. Xiao Mo, you came to me for a purpose, right?"

Mo Hua was slightly startled, "How do you know?"

Elder Su said expressionlessly:

"You've been coming to my place these past few days and making insinuations. You probably want to ask something..."

"But this matter is a bit secret and difficult to talk about, so you didn't ask directly, so you found some excuses and rambled on, trying to get some information from me."

Mo Hua was silent.

Elder Su's eyes were slightly cold.

He knew that this little formation master must have something up his sleeve.

Elder Su picked up the tea cup and put away the foam, his eyes floating unpredictably like tea:

"Mr. Xiao Mo, what exactly do you want to do?"

Now that the matter has come to this, Mo Hua no longer has to hide it.

He looked serious and said:

"Elder Su, I want to go to a brothel!"

Elder Su spurted out a sip of tea.
