Asking about longevity
Chapter 807 Red Line
After a while, Mo Hua learned from Aunt Wan, his "spy" in the Gu family, that Uncle Gu should have had a blind date, so he picked a time and secretly sent a letter to Gu Changhuai:
"Uncle Gu, how was the blind date?"
This question was probably very annoying.
Gu Changhuai didn't want to answer, so he didn't reply for a long time.
But this matter also involved the cause of Ye Jin's death, so after about an hour, Gu Changhuai finally endured the discomfort and replied:
"Failed."
"What kind of failure?" Mo Hua was puzzled, "The blind date failed, or the 'interrogation' failed?"
Isn't it normal for a blind date to fail?
The interrogation failed and no clues were asked, which is the important problem.
Gu Changhuai: "All failed."
Mo Hua sighed: "Uncle Gu, you are also an old director, how come you can't do such a small thing well, and you didn't ask anything..."
This old-fashioned tone is very similar to what the old director said when he was holding him accountable.
The letter made Gu Changhuai on the other side look ugly for a while.
Mo Hua, this kid, is really good at making people angry.
Mo Hua asked curiously:
"What did you talk about during the blind date? Did you talk about family background? What about spiritual stone salary? What about cultivation plan? What do you think of that Hua teacher?"
Gu Changhuai could no longer bear it, so he turned off the letter order, turned a blind eye, and ignored Mo Hua.
Mo Hua was helpless.
Uncle Gu's tolerance needs to be improved.
He couldn't stand this little bit of talk, not generous at all.
Since Uncle Gu didn't say anything, he could only find another way to find out.
Two days later, it was a ten-day break.
Mo Hua went to Gu's house in person, asked around, and found Elder Gu Hong who was drinking tea in the living room.
When Elder Gu Hong saw Mo Hua, his eyes lit up and he quickly greeted her:
"Mo Hua, come here, I have some cakes."
Mo Hua muttered to himself:
I'm not a child anymore...
But he still sat next to Elder Gu Hong, drinking tea and eating the cakes Elder Gu Hong gave him.
The tea was sweet and slightly bitter, and the cakes were refreshing and slightly sweet. The two were balanced and the taste was very special.
While eating, Mo Hua asked in a low voice:
"Elder Gu Hong, how is Uncle Gu's blind date going?"
When it comes to this, Elder Gu Hong's face fell, and he seemed very angry, complaining to Mo Hua:
"You said that Chang Huai is just a stubborn donkey, like a fool, with a good appearance for nothing."
"When they first met, the girl couldn't help staring at him for a long time when she saw his handsome appearance, and her face turned red, but he was like a piece of wood, not saying a word."
"That's not the most annoying thing. The most annoying thing is that as soon as he sat down and drank a few sips of tea, he took out the The style of the Daoting Division is like interrogating a criminal, asking the girl all kinds of questions..."
"What do you ask? Where is your hometown, where do you live, and where have you been on weekdays?"
Elder Gu Hong held his forehead with his hand, with a headache, and said to Mo Hua:
"If you say so, how can this marriage be considered?"
"I can only smile and apologize, saying that he is busy with the affairs of the Daoting Division all day and has developed a habit. It will be fine after the marriage."
"That's how I barely made the situation round, but I can also see that the girl's face is obviously a little livid..."
"Alas..."
Elder Gu Hong sighed for a long time, and was so angry that his teeth itched.
"If he wasn't my nephew, I would sit at the door and drink the northwest wind, and I wouldn't bother to look at him."
Mo Hua nodded.
Sure enough, in the Daoting Division, the handsome and cold Dian Si, when he arrived at home, was still inevitably criticized by the elders.
"Then... Elder Hong," Mo Hua asked quietly, "What do you think of that 'Flower Instructor'?"
Elder Gu Hong was startled, "What do you think of her?"
"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded, "I'm a little curious, so I'm asking."
Curious?
Elder Gu Hong thought for a moment and frowned, "To be honest, I feel something is wrong..."
"What's wrong?"
"Her makeup is too bright, and her expression is a little unnatural. When she looked at Chang Huai, she had the kind of look of greed for beauty, and she looked a little..."
Elder Gu Hong lowered his voice and whispered to Mo Hua, "She's a bit fickle."
Mo Hua seemed to be thinking about something.
Elder Gu Hong pondered for a moment, and then said strangely, "Her behavior doesn't seem like a sect instructor, but rather like..."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly realized that this was in front of Mo Hua, not beside her group of "old sisters", so she shut up a little angrily.
"What does it look like?" Mo Hua asked puzzledly.
"Nothing," said Elder Gu Hong, "It's better not to say anything."
Mo Hua was secretly complaining.
In front of him, he always likes to say half of the words.
Seeing that Mo Hua wanted to ask more, Elder Gu Hong quickly pushed the cakes in front of Mo Hua, "Eat cakes, you are growing up now, you need to eat more..."
Mo Hua was a little worried when he mentioned this.
"Elder Gu Hong, I won't grow taller in the future, right?"
Elder Gu Hong said solemnly:
"That's not true, you are just born weak, blood and qi are deficient, and you grow a little slower, there is nothing you can do about it, in the future when you improve your cultivation, you will be reborn, and you will definitely grow into a tall and handsome man, just like Chang Huai... no, more handsome than Chang Huai."
"You have a mild temper, as smooth as jade, unlike Chang Huai, whose temper is like a stinky stone, there is nothing you can do about it."
Elder Gu Hong was still very angry when he mentioned this matter.
"Tell me, with his skin and skin, if he can open his eyes, he will be surrounded by countless birds and birds, why should I bother so much?"
"Mud can't hold up a wall!"
Mo Hua asked: "Then what should I do about Uncle Gu's blind date in the future?"
"What else can I do?" Elder Gu Hong said, "Let's do this for now. How can I find someone else for him in a short period of time? If he still has this bad temper, if I find someone else and he offends someone else, then my face will be lost." Where to put it?”
"Let's make do with it first, force her to become pregnant, and then meet this girl to see if the two of them can get along."
Mo Hua was confused, "But, didn't you say that this teaching seems a bit 'watery'?"
"That's what I say," Elder Gu Hong said carefully, "but sometimes, people should not be judged by their appearance, especially when they meet for the first time. It is still too arbitrary to make judgments based on the first impression. We will see later. Let’s see…”
Mo Hua nodded, "That makes sense."
He also wanted Uncle Gu to sacrifice his "hue" and talk to this beggar like Hua Ruyu, maybe he could find other clues.
Elder Gu Hong looked at the ink painting with admiration and said:
"Chang Huai is hopeless. When you grow older, I will find a way to arrange a good marriage for you."
Mo Hua's expression froze.
He didn't expect that he would eat the melon without realizing it.
Mo Hua whispered: "Elder, I'm not in a hurry..."
Elder Gu Hong shook his head and said, "It's time to rush. We should have planned for this kind of thing in advance."
She said sincerely: "You are different from other children. Although Mr. Xun supports you, you do not have a great family background and your spiritual roots are not very good..."
"Of course, in my eyes, you are a good kid in everything, but when it comes time to discuss marriage, those big and small aristocratic families and sects are still very realistic. Their family background and spiritual roots are just flawed."
"Based on my experience, you must not find the proud daughters of those big families."
"Most of these girls are arrogant, arrogant, and arrogant. They are not suitable for you."
"Moreover, the bigger the family is, the more rules there are, and the stricter and more realistic the marriage. Even if you fall in love with each other and you agree with me, the elders and ancestors of the family will definitely not agree."
"It doesn't matter how powerful you are."
"After all, how can you, alone, compare to the accumulation of thousands or even tens of thousands of years of their aristocratic family?"
"My arms can't twist my thighs, let alone push a mountain."
Elder Gu Hong sighed and thought:
"It's best to be a girl from a middle-class family. The third grade is a little lower, and the fourth grade is around the most suitable."
"Those who have a gentle temper, are considerate, and know how to care about others are best chosen as formation masters."
"A little higher, almost fifth grade would be fine..."
At this point, Elder Gu Hong's eyes suddenly lit up, "If you are willing, I can pick one for you at the Gu family!"
Yes, why hadn't she thought of this before?
The Gu family is quasi-fifth grade.
She is also the powerful elder of the Gu family and has a certain say in the clan.
She knows most of the girls from the Gu family.
She also noticed the child's talent in Mo Hua.
If you marry a girl from the Gu family, you might be able to keep the ink paintings in the Gu family.
Elder Gu Hong became happy and quickly asked Mo Hua:
"How about it?"
Mo Hua felt a little dizzy, "No, Elder Hong, it's too early for this matter."
"It's getting late, but you don't have to worry. Just practice with peace of mind. I'll keep an eye on it for you."
Elder Gu Hong stared at the ink painting with bright eyes.
Mo Hua couldn't resist and said quickly: "I'm going to see Uncle Gu."
After saying that, he ran away in a flash.
Elder Gu Hong laughed and shook his head. He didn't care about Mo Hua, but he silently kept this matter in his heart.
She thought for a moment and murmured:
"I have to give him a red thread to see..."
She was impatient and would do whatever she said. When she thought of this, she immediately returned to her elder's residence and took out the Gu family's genealogy from a box.
On top of the family tree, there is a separate page, which records the names and birth dates of the women of the Gu family.
This is a secret to the family. Except for elders with a special status like her, no one else can read it at will.
Elder Gu Hong took out a red thread, with red light flowing in his eyes, and pulled the red thread through the names of the women on the family tree.
"I don't know which little girl from the Gu family can have a relationship with Mo Hua..."
Elder Gu Hong said silently in his heart.
But after pulling for a long time, there was no movement on the red line.
Elder Gu Hong frowned, and the red light in his eyes became even brighter, but in the next moment, a sudden change occurred.
The red thread in her hand suddenly broke.
Elder Gu Hong looked stunned.
If you can't pull it on, you can't pull it on. Why is it still broken?
He had no choice but to take out another red thread, then silently recited the incantation, his eyes moved, and continued to pull the red thread for Mo Hua.
But after trying a few names, the red line suddenly broke again.
Elder Gu Hong didn't believe in evil, so he pulled it several times, but it broke again.
Her expression became serious.
"Isn't it a coincidence? Could it be..."
Elder Gu Hong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took out another thicker one, woven with gold wire and inlaid with red jade, symbolizing the 'good match between gold and jade'.
"I don't believe it today..."
Elder Gu Hong continued to hold the line for Mo Hua.
The red string of the golden marriage is indeed extraordinary. She tried to tie it more than ten times, but it didn't work, but the red string was still intact.
Even when she tied it to the name of a little girl from the Gu family, there was a faint reaction on the red string.
Elder Gu Hong looked slightly happy, but at this moment, she felt a palpitation.
She looked down and found that in less than an instant, a bright red flame of nothingness burned up and burned the whole red string directly...
Not only did the red string burn, but the gold thread on the red string also broke, and the inlaid red jade turned into powder.
Elder Gu Hong was stunned on the spot.
The red string... was all broken...
The golden marriage was also burned.
It seemed that the red string painted in ink was not allowed to be tied by her at all.
The marriage here could not be coveted by others at all.
Elder Gu Hong gradually began to speculate, his face turned pale, and he couldn't help muttering:
"What kind of terrible person will Mo Hua marry in the future..."
...
On the other side, Mo Hua, who didn't know how many red threads Elder Hong had broken, wandered around the Gu family and finally found Gu Changhuai in a remote study.
"Uncle Gu, I talked to Elder Hong, and she decided not to arrange a blind date for you for the time being."
Mo Hua said straight to the point.
Gu Changhuai looked a little skeptical, "Auntie won't give up so easily..."
Before, Auntie Gu Hong always said, "I won't care about you anymore", but after ten days and a half a month, at most one or two months, she would say, "I picked another girl, you must like her, take time to meet her."
"Really!" Mo Hua nodded, "But there is a small condition."
Gu Changhuai looked "as expected" and asked, "What condition?"
"You have to meet the Hua teacher in Baihua Valley again, and then chat and check the clues." Mo Hua said.
Gu Changhuai frowned, "Is this my aunt's condition?"
"The first part was said by Elder Hong, and the latter part was added by me." Mo Hua was very frank.
Gu Changhuai was silent.
He didn't want to deal with boring people, especially boring women.
Mo Hua said seriously: "This is the only clue left in this case so far. At my age, I can't arrange a blind date for you. Uncle Gu, if you don't investigate, there will be another wronged soul in the world, and Senior Sister Ye Jin will die with regret!"
Gu Changhuai was experienced, so how could he be instigated by Mo Hua's words.
But Mo Hua was actually right.
Blind date doesn't matter, but the case has to be investigated.
"Okay," Gu Changhuai sighed, "I'll go see her again when I have time."
Mo Hua reminded: "Be gentle, don't put on airs as a Taoist priest, and pretend to be a gentleman with elegant manners."
Gu Changhuai glanced at Mo Hua indifferently, "How about you go?"
Mo Hua smiled awkwardly: "Uncle Gu is more suitable for such 'adult' matters."
After all, you are more than two hundred years old...
Gu Changhuai frowned, looking embarrassed.
...
After the ten-day break, Mo Hua returned to the sect.
According to his speculation, Uncle Gu will have a one or two-day psychological preparation period, and then on the third day, he will go to meet the flower teacher of Baihua Valley.
The two will meet on the fourth day.
If Uncle Gu can really ask something, it will be four or five days later.
During this period, Mo Hua mainly spent his time in the Demon Refining Mountain.
In the Taixu Sect's cultivation courses, a new "Monster Hunting" course was opened to formally teach disciples how to hunt monsters in the Monster Refining Mountain in a reasonable manner.
This course was opened according to convention.
In the past, Taixu Sect disciples would only formally and extensively enter the Monster Refining Mountain to participate in monster hunting at this time, that is, in the fifth year of joining the sect.
This is not only the case for Taixu Sect, but also for other sects.
In the middle stage of foundation building, the first year is to consolidate the cultivation, and occasionally some disciples go to the Monster Refining Mountain to test the waters.
After the cultivation is consolidated in the second year, the sect teaches the Monster Hunting course, allowing disciples to enter the mountain to hunt monsters on a large scale.
But the situation of Mo Hua's class is special.
With the "young senior brother" Mo Hua who is proficient in formations taking the lead, a group of disciples have been "militarized" hunting in the Monster Refining Mountain early.
The sect's plan did not keep up with the changes.
The elder who taught monster hunting found himself "unemployed" as soon as he was "employed".
Because there is nothing to teach...
These disciples have already mastered what he taught, and they are even tired of killing monsters.
Helplessly, he had to report back to the headmaster.
"It's Mo Hua again..."
The headmaster of Taixu sighed.
He could hear this name from time to time.
Finally, after the meeting of the elders, the headmaster approved the progress of the monster hunting class to be advanced, so that these disciples can directly turn from theory to practice and go directly to the Monster Refining Mountain to hunt monsters.
The monster hunting class usually lasts a whole day.
In this way, the disciples of Taixu Sect have extra time to stay in the Monster Refining Mountain to hunt every ten days except for the ten-day break.
Mo Hua is now like a fish in water in the Monster Refining Mountain.
In addition, he also met Ouyang Mu and Linghu Xiao.
The disciples of Tai'a Sect and Chongxu Sect did not progress so fast in hunting monsters, but when they learned that Taixu Sect had allowed disciples to go into the mountain in large numbers, they did not want to fall behind, so they hurriedly relaxed the restrictions.
This was the first time the three of them had met since the incident in the Ten Thousand Demons Valley.
Ouyang Mu and Linghu Xiao were very grateful to Mo Hua.
After all, they lived and died together in the Ten Thousand Demons Valley, and in the end they were saved by Mo Hua, so they could be considered as "life-long" friendships.
"Senior Brother Mo, if you have any problems in the future, just tell me, I will definitely do it!"
Ouyang Mu looked serious and solemn.
Linghu Xiao also said: "Me too."
Mo Hua waved his hand and said generously: "It's just a small matter, don't worry about it."
Because it is now "class" time, the few people can only occasionally meet and chat, and can't say much.
But the relationship between the three of them is more familiar.
Mo Hua also secretly gave some sword-making experience that he "extorted" from Jian Gu to Ouyang Mu, so that he could secretly read and learn, and improve his sword-making skills.
Ouyang Mu looked at Mo Hua again, as if he was looking at his own brother.
As for Linghu Xiao, Mo Hua directly and openly called him "Xiao Xiao".
He wanted to call him that a long time ago, but he was not so familiar with him before, so he was embarrassed.
Linghu Xiao was a little angry.
Perhaps it was because this name did not fit his lonely and cold personality.
It also did not fit the temperament of a great swordsman who was destined to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship in the future.
But under the pressure of Mo Hua's "life-saving grace", he had no room for "resistance" and could only accept it with a pinch of his nose.
And as Mo Hua kept calling him, he got used to it.
Of course, so far, only Mo Hua dared to call him "Xiao Xiao" in front of him.
He also only assumed that Mo Hua could call these two words, but others could not.
After all, Mo Hua had saved his life, which was different from others.
This was the bottom line he could tolerate as a lonely and arrogant swordsmanship genius, and it was also his last "stubbornness".
