Asking about longevity

Gu Changhuai was slightly stunned and said with an indifferent expression:

"Aren't you afraid that people like the Xiao family may openly seek refuge with the Xia family, but secretly still communicate with Guishuimen secretly, ruining this plan?"

Xia Diansi shook his head and said calmly: "It's not up to me to make the decision. My uncle knows it well."

"Uncle?" Gu Changhuai's eyes narrowed, "Are you talking about... Inspector Xia?"

"Yes," Xia Diansi nodded, "This time when the Xia family comes to Qianxue Prefecture, my uncle will be fully responsible for all matters."

Gu Changhuai remained silent.

When it comes to Daoting supervision, he, a Diansi, can only remain silent.

Gu Changhuai turned his head, no longer looking at Xia Diansi, but turned his gaze to the dark river water, frowning slightly, wondering what he was thinking about.

Xia Diansi no longer looked after Gu Changhuai.

She looked calm and looked forward with firm eyes.

The two of them seemed to have a bad temper, and no one looked at the other.

Mo Hua sighed slightly, but at the same time, he was also thinking silently in his heart.

Inspector Xia...who is this person?

Monitor...

It seems that his status should be higher than that of Noriji, and he can suppress Uncle Gu. His cultivation level is at least as high as that of an elite, and it seems that he has great authority.

"Inspector Xia got a tip from the Xiao family, so he took advantage of the Ten Thousand Demons Valley incident and used the excuse that the academic style in Qianxue Prefecture was not prosperous to reach into the Daoting Division in Qianxue Prefecture..."

The first step is to check Guishui Gate.

But, what is the purpose of checking Guishui Gate?

In order to be loyal to the Taoist court and maintain the Taoist law?

Mo Hua shook his head.

Moreover, what about after checking Guishui Gate?

What else will the Xia family, or this "Supervisor Xia" do?

Mo Hua frowned, feeling that the situation was getting more and more chaotic.

Everyone wants to lend a hand, and the border between Qianxue and Xuzhou is almost turning into a pot of porridge.

"Think about it later..."

The most urgent task is to catch the water Yama.

Originally, Mo Hua was quite confident, but now that the Xiao family had sneaked in, he felt a little uneasy.

Things are getting more complicated.

Also, does Supervisor Xia really believe in the Xiao family so much? Suppressing the water bandits and capturing the water demons, let the Xiao family have a hand in such an important matter?

Mo Hua didn't believe it.

He couldn't figure it out. At this moment, he remembered what Mr. Xun had taught him before:

"You can't just think about things from your own perspective, otherwise you will inevitably be short-sighted, have narrow cognition, and get into trouble without realizing it."

"You must learn to stand on a high place and look down from above."

"Put yourself in their shoes, think of yourself as an 'ancestor', and think about how they view the problem..."

"Think of yourself as an ancestor..."

Even if Supervisor Xia is not an ancestor, he still holds a high position. He naturally looks at problems from top to bottom.

Mo Hua put himself in his shoes and thought for a moment.

Water Yama is important to you.

But for a monk at Supervisor Xia's level, he probably doesn't take him seriously either.

Shui Yanluo is just one of his pawns.

Even the Xiao family and Guishuimen are his pawns.

This time he drove the tiger to devour the wolf and let the Xiao family eat the chess piece of Shui Yanluo. This was not only to use it to seize Guishuimen, but also to...

Test the Xiao family?

If the Xiao family was honest and killed the water bandits and captured Shui Yanluo, it would mean that the Xiao family was sincere in surrendering.

If the Xiao family is causing trouble behind the scenes, it means that the Xiao family has second thoughts.

If the Xiao family really has second thoughts and goes against the will, then after Supervisor Xia cleans up the Guishui Gate, he may backfire and take care of the Xiao family too...

Drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and then kill both the tiger and the wolf.

The more Mo Hua thought about it, the more it made sense, and he couldn't help but mutter in his heart:

"These people have so many evil intentions and dirty hearts..."

…

In the night, the river was dim, but the fleet was still moving forward.

Mo Hua sat on the bow of the boat, pointing in the direction.

There is a silver ray of light on the bow of the boat, swimming freely in the water. It is the little whitebait.

It is happily leading the way for ink painting.

It's just that others can't see it.

After crossing the wide river area and arriving at the natural swamp "maze", the waterway gradually narrowed and silt accumulated, making it difficult for ships to move.

Xia Diansi then ordered that all the ships should be connected to each other, like a long snake, moving forward in the "maze", so that they would not get lost or fall into the quagmire.

I don’t know how long it took, but everyone arrived in front of the island.

Mo Hua raised his eyes and saw that the moon was cool, the wind was high, and the night was dark. The island was still as it was that day, quietly dormant in the Yanshui River, like a dormant ferocious beast.

Xia Diansi waved his hand and said, "Hidden."

All the spirit boats trembled, a slight buzzing sound sounded, and a layer of light curtain rose, covering the hull lightly, hiding the ship.

Mo Hua was shocked when he saw this.

Hidden spirit boat!

These more than thirty ships are all spiritual boats with concealment effect!

Hidden spiritual weapons have always been expensive to build, let alone a spiritual boat of this size.

The Xia family is indeed very wealthy.

Mo Hua sighed silently in his heart.

After all the ships were hidden, they hid in the water plants on the outside of the island.

Xia Diansi summoned some leading executives and informed them of a more detailed encirclement and suppression plan:

"This is the formation diagram of the island, it is..."

Xia Diansi glanced at the ink painting and said silently, "...it was a brilliant formation master who personally surveyed and designed it..."

"On the formation map, there is a formation pattern on the island, and the positions of the Eight Trigrams are marked..."

"At about Hai hour, we will take action. At this time, the water bandits will go out to plunder, and the village gate will be wide open. We will intercept them halfway when they are leaving, kill a group first, then break open the gate and rush in."

"After rushing in, that's the key."

"The gate through which the water bandits leave the stronghold is Kanmen. If the plan goes well, then the time when we rush into Kanmen is Zishi."

"After midnight, when we rush into the island, the water bandits will definitely activate the formation. From then on, the eight gates in the formation will rotate about every half an hour."

"Here is the flow of the eight gates. Remember all the people you lead."

"You don't need to worry about the other doors. You just need to block Dumen, Jingmen and the second flat gate, as well as Kaikaimen, Ximenmen and Shengmen. The three Jimen, especially the Shengmen, will prevent the bandits from escaping."

"Of course, relying on manpower to block it will definitely not work."

"On the periphery of the island, except for the initial Kanmen, trap formations must be set up at the entrances of the other seven gates to arrest, besiege, or even block these water bandits."

"These formations have also been prepared in advance."

"Gu Diansi and I will be responsible for removing the hidden sentries around the island later. Others must set up these formations before the war begins..."

…

After Xia Diansi finished giving his instructions, all the executives looked solemn, and they all raised their hands and said solemnly:

"yes!"

But at the same time, they also sighed in their hearts.

Especially Xiao Tianquan, he praised:

"The Xia family is indeed a great family. It has a profound foundation. In a short period of time, it was able to recruit such a skilled formation master and see through the formations on this island."

"I don't know..." Xiao Tianquan asked curiously, "Who is this gentleman's name and where he comes from? Will I be lucky enough to meet him?"

Mo Hua beside Xiao Tianquan couldn't help but blink.

"This 'sir' is standing next to you now..." Xia Diansi said silently in his heart.

However, it was impossible for her to tell Mo Hua's identity. She only said: "This matter is confidential and cannot be disclosed."

Xiao Tianquan also said: "It was my subordinate who was rude."

"Okay," Xia Diansi acted resolutely and stopped procrastinating, and ordered:

"Without further delay, take action now. Don't give the water bandits a chance to escape. Use thunderous means to surround them all!"

All the executives bowed their hands and said solemnly:

"As you command!"

Afterwards, in the dark night, the hidden spirit boats dispersed in an orderly manner, weaving a large net on the Yanshui River, and gradually wrapped the small island where the water bandits lived.

The first step is to pull out the hidden whistle.

This kind of thing needs to be done quietly without any mistakes, so it is left to the two golden elixir monks Gu Changhuai and Xia Diansi to do it.

The night was getting darker, and a water bandit who was watching near the island was yawning and feeling a little sleepy.

The island is desolate, and no outsiders have ever visited it. As time has passed, these water bandits have become somewhat slack, and their vigilance is far less than before.

When he was yawning, a white palm suddenly covered his mouth.

The water bandit's eyes were startled, and just as he was about to shout, a sword tip emerged from his chest. The wind spiritual power followed the wound made by the sword tip and spread to his meridians, cutting his internal organs until they were bloody and bloody.

The water bandit struggled for a few times. After a while, his eyes dimmed, his breath disappeared, and he died.

Gu Changhuai killed one person, turned around and saw Xia Diansi holding a dagger and slitting the throat of another water bandit.

There was a layer of frost covering the dagger.

The moment he slit the water bandit's throat, the layer of frost sealed the water bandit's mouth and nose, making him unable to make a sound. Even the water bandit's blood was frozen bit by bit by the frost.

But in an instant, the water bandit's face turned purple, his whole body was frozen, and he died on the spot.

Gu Changhuai raised his eyebrows.

This was the first time he saw Xia Diansi take action.

Frozen, assassinated, killed with one sword.

It's quite in line with this woman's always cold temperament.

The ink painting peeking from a distance is also a little surprising.

"Ice Spirit Root..."

This was the first time he saw a monk from Binglinggen.

The common spiritual root attributes in the cultivation world are divided into five elements and three differences.

The five elements are metal, wood, water, fire and earth, and the three elements are "wind, ice and thunder".

Among them, wind spirit roots are less common, but they can be seen occasionally, such as Gu Changhuai's.

Ice spirit roots are very rare, and Mo Hua has only seen Xia Diansi so far.

As for the natural thunder spirit root, which can cultivate powerful thunder Taoism, this kind is even more rare.

After removing the hidden sentry, Mo Hua led his men closer, and then began to set up a trap formation on the island near the water to trap the enemy.

He put fishing nets in the water.

This kind of fishing net is specially made. It has formations, barbs, and quenched poison.

After the cloth was finished, everyone began to change places.

As per the old rules, Gu Changhuai and Xia Diansi were responsible for assassinating the outpost. After ensuring it was safe, Mo Hua led people to lay out the drawn formations and some spiritual traps.

It's just that the scope of the water island is larger than what Mo Hua had predicted before, and time was tight, so the hastily made coal was still not enough.

In this way, six gates have been laid out, and more than a hundred pieces of array coal and spiritual weapons have been used up.

But there are still two doors left.

A threshold is used by water bandits to leave the island and Daotingsi to enter the island, so it can be ignored.

But the other Limen, which happens to be opposite the Kanmen, cannot be ignored.

"I will arrange for people to guard this position." Xia Diansi said.

Mo Hua thought for a moment and shook his head, "We can't spread our hands, otherwise it will disrupt the previous plan."

"Then this door..."

"I have a way." Mo Hua said.

He took out several bottles of ugly-looking, pungent-smelling blood pills and fishy-smelling algae from the storage bag.

These were all prepared by him before.

"This elixir is made from the semen of monsters, so it has a strong smell. Monks avoid it, but monsters like it very much."

"This algae, the fisherman in the small fishing village calls it Anabaena. It is also used to attract water monsters."

"The traps are not enough, so use water monsters to make them up."

"Throw this blood pill and this Anabaena algae away from the door and use them to 'make a nest' to attract the nearby water monsters."

"In this way, this Limen becomes a man-made 'death door'."

"If the water bandits escape from the island and enter the water from here, they will find a group of water monsters waiting for them in the water."

"No matter how good they are at water, they cannot be a match for a group of water monsters. As long as they enter the water, they will definitely die."

This group of water bandits can die but cannot escape.

Xia Diansi was stunned for a moment, then took a deep look at Mo Hua, nodded and said, "Okay."

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

This little boy is really smart.

They were able to come up with a solution in such a short period of time. Although it was a bit shady, it was just right to deal with this group of water bandits who committed many evil deeds.

Gu Changhuai, on the other hand, was a little surprised.

He knew that this must be Mo Hua's plan long ago.

Even using monsters to trap and kill others was certainly not the first time Mo Hua had done it.

I was afraid that someone might have fallen into his hands before...

After the discussion, Mo Hua began to "make a nest".

He threw the Anabaena algae and the blood elixir refined with monsters into the water.

The blood pill smells very unpleasant.

Xia Diansi couldn't help covering his mouth and nose, and then asked curiously:

"Is this blood pill originally shaped like this? Why does it look like a crooked melon and a cracked jujube, and it looks so ugly?"

"No," Mo Hua said silently, "Because I made them..."

His alchemy skills are too poor.

This elixir was not a serious elixir. He just relied on his feeling and thought what the monsters liked to eat, so he threw it all into a furnace and made it randomly, and it turned out to be this ugly.

Mo Hua was a little helpless.

The formation he drew was very beautiful, but the elixir he produced was ugly, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Xia Diansi looked at the beautiful and elegant ink paintings, then at the ugly pills in his hands, and remained silent.

After making the nest, everything is ready.

Everyone began to hibernate in the water plants, waiting for the arrival of Haishi.

The night is getting darker and darker, and the crescent moon on the horizon is like a sharp scimitar, showing an icy edge.

The atmosphere was depressing and solemn.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Changhuai, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes.

On the water island, there was a sound.

The sound of "squeak" sounded.

It seemed like a door opened, and then there was the sound of boats breaking into the water, interspersed with rough and noisy human voices.

"Went hunting..."

"I wonder what I can kill today."

"It doesn't matter if the man kills him quickly, but the woman should hold her hand and don't cut off the head with a knife. It's too unappetizing."

"Damn it, if you kill men but not women, do you favor women over men?"

"Nonsense, aren't you the same?"

…

There are more and more ships, and the noise of people is getting louder and louder.

When a small group of water bandits, about fifty or sixty people, left the island in a boat and floated on the water, they were unable to advance or retreat.

A wind blade arrived accidentally.

A water bandit with a scar on his head who was chatting and laughing was immediately beheaded, blood splattered, and his body was like a wooden stake, and he fell into the river.

The noise suddenly stopped.

The surroundings fell silent for a moment.

Then a water bandit asked in horror: "What the hell?"

"Why is his head missing?"

"The water demon cuts off his head?"

The night was dark all around, and the water was misty. A trace of murderous intent seeped out of the mist.

Soon there were water bandits who noticed something was wrong and exclaimed:

"Someone...killed..."

A dagger filled with cold spiritual power cut his throat, blocked his voice, froze his blood, and deprived him of his life.

Behind the water bandits, Xia Diansi put away his dagger, his face as dark as water, and said solemnly:

"kill!"

Then the shouts of killing suddenly started.

On the originally empty and dim water, densely packed ships suddenly appeared.

On each ship, there are about a dozen officers with excellent spiritual weapons and solemn expressions.

At this time, Xia Diansi gave an order, and the chief executives drew out their swords one after another, jumped into the water bandit's boat, and slashed with their swords. The spiritual power was intertwined and blood splashed everywhere.

In the blink of an eye, a dozen water bandits were killed.

Some had their heads cut off, some had their arms cut off, or some had their hearts pierced. Blood surged out like a spring, dyeing the river red.

The water bandit looked horrified.

"Enemy attack!"

"damn it!"

"Where did the bastard come from?!"

"The standard spirit sword is the fucking Dao Tingsi's lackey!"

The water bandits shouted and cursed one after another.

Daotingsi and the smell of blood inspired their ferocity. They were all desperadoes, so they naturally had a desperate spirit.

The water bandits also pulled out their swords, took out bloody evil weapons, and started killing Dao Tingsi.

But their number was small, they were on the water, and they were suddenly ambushed. Naturally, they were no match for the prepared Daotingsi monks.

What's more, there are two golden elixirs, Gu Changhuai and Xia Diansi, leading the team.

The water bandits were retreating steadily.

One after another they were beheaded.

Finally, some of the bandits got scared and turned to flee to Shuidao Island, but they were blocked by the bandits behind them. They could not move forward or backward, and could only mess around and be killed one by one by Dao Tingsi.

There is a big door at the "Kanmen" of Shuidao Island.

The door is made of wood and stone, and there is a formation on it.

Behind the door is the village where the bandits live.

Dao Tingsi rushed to the island, and took away several lives with every step.

At this time, a bandit shouted: "Quick! Close the door! These bastards are coming in."

The door was half closed when it was stopped by the bandits outside.

The bandits outside the door who were being killed by Dao Tingsi shouted angrily: "Close your mother's door, I haven't entered yet!"

While they were pushing and shoving, Gu Changhuai had already rushed to the door.

He took out a feather fan, condensed his spiritual power, waved his hand, and fanned out several extremely sharp wind feather blades, strangling several bandits in an instant.

Then Gu Changhuai leaped up, and rushed into the village gate like a gust of wind.

The water bandits inside the gate surrounded Gu Changhuai and killed him.

But they were just ordinary foundation builders. Although they killed many people, they were no match for Gu Changhuai, who had a deep family background and profound knowledge, in a head-on fight.

Xia Diansi also took the opportunity to kill in, with cold light flashing on his sword, and ice light blooming, and each time he killed someone.

In just a moment, the water bandits died at the "Kan" gate of the Eight Diagrams.

Gu Changhuai urged his spiritual power and forcibly broke several formations inside the Kan gate according to Mo Hua's instructions.

The gate was no longer maintained by the formation, but ordinary soil and stone, and it collapsed in an instant.

Since then, the gate of the water bandit's lair was wide open.

More than 400 court officials, with sharp eyes, raised swords and knives, like wolves, rushed in.

At this time, it was exactly midnight.

In the village, the eight gates began to flow.

Dao Tingsi began to attack, the pirates began to struggle, and then fled through the eight gates...

Everything was the same as Mo Hua's plan.

But Mo Hua did not go in.

The monks' melee was still somewhat dangerous.

He sat alone on the hidden boat, poured himself a glass of sweet lychee wine, squinted his eyes, and drank slowly.

In the village, the fierce battle became more intense, and the smell of blood became stronger and stronger...
