Asking about longevity

This loser only said such an important thing now. If not, I would have used all my means to take down that kid!

Xiao Diansi looked at Shui Yanluo with murderous intent, then turned his head, opened his eyes slightly, and looked at the "Mohua" in the distance with a sinister look.

There was a bloody murderous aura surging in his eyes, and the breath was terrifying.

But the "Mohua" in the distance was just a "blanket man" and was not afraid, so he did not react at all and took a rest by the broken wall.

On the contrary, Gu Changhuai, who was standing aside, noticed something strange and looked over coldly.

The two looked at each other, the atmosphere was stalemate, but they did not say a word, and after a moment, they each withdrew their gazes.

Xiao Diansi snorted in his heart.

"Gu Changhuai is as alert as ever..."

"As for that kid... he's still pretty careless and sleeps really hard..."

He suppressed his emotions, narrowed his eyes again, hid everything in his heart, and said calmly:

"I know, don't mention the Water Prison Forbidden Box to anyone else..."

"Yes."

"How is your cultivation going?" Xiao Diansi asked Shui Yanluo again.

"I've lived up to my brother's trust and have already cultivated to the fourth level." Shui Yanluo said.

Xiao Diansi's expression brightened slightly, and he nodded and said, "Almost done..."

Shui Yanluo seemed relieved when he heard what Xiao Diansi said, and bowed his hands and said:

"The Water Prison Sect's method is indeed exquisite. It's all thanks to my brother's generous teaching that I can have this skill."

Give him all your knowledge?

Mo Hua was shocked when he heard this.

This Shui Yanluo's skills were actually taught to him by Smiling Tiger? !

Xiao Diansi said "hmm" and said nothing more. Instead, he waved his hand and let Shui Yanluo go.

Shui Yanluo bowed and left.

Xiao Diansi was the only one left in the room.

Mo Hua frowned and was about to leave when he suddenly noticed another figure.

"Is there someone else coming?"

Mo Hua thought for a moment and continued to stay in the corner, listening with his ears erect.

After a while, a figure walked out from the darkness, came to Xiao Diansi, bowed and said, "Uncle."

The man was handsome and talented, and it was Xiao Tianquan.

Xiao Diansi glanced at Xiao Tianquan with a complicated expression. After a moment, he sneered, "No need to call me uncle."

Xiao Tianquan said: "The bloodline is continuous. With this cause and effect, you will always be my uncle."

"Bloodline..."

Xiao Diansi looked indifferent, revealing a hint of sarcasm, "Everyone knows that in the eyes of the rich, money is nothing; in the eyes of the powerful, power is nothing; and in the eyes of the family, bloodline is nothing."

Xiao Diansi looked at Xiao Tianquan, his expression became colder and colder, his eyes became more and more indifferent, and even with a hint of anger and unwillingness that had been suppressed for a long time:

"I have tried my best, planned for so many years, done so much dirty work, and paid so much effort for the Xiao family. What I want is nothing more than a position as the head of the Dao Ting Division."

"There are even some things. In order not to implicate the family, all the dirty water is borne by me alone."

"You are so young, and I have been supporting you step by step when you entered the Dao Ting Division."

"You want achievements, okay! I will find someone to work for you; If you feel bored, I will go to the Rouge Boat to find a woman for you; if you want a future and connections, I will introduce you to the Young Master's Pavilion..."

"I have even planned it out. As long as I become the head of the department, manage relationships well, and pave the way, the position of the next head of the Fifth Grade Learning Dao Ting Department in the future will definitely be yours!"

"But I never expected..."

Xiao Diansi's eyes were full of anger, "Those old people in the clan are so anxious that they even want to bypass me and directly promote you to compete for the position of head of the department!"

Xiao Diansi laughed in anger, "What a good plan! I have spent my whole life paving the road with great effort, but before I even take a step, I have become a brick and stone."

"This is the aristocratic family! When it comes to relationships, they are all blood relatives, but when it comes to competing for interests, they are all cold-hearted beasts!"

Xiao Tianquan's face was pale, and he looked a little ashamed, "Uncle, this is the arrangement of the ancestor, and I can't do anything about it..."

"You are naturally helpless. All the benefits fall on you. What else do you want?" Xiao Diansi sneered.

Xiao Tianquan bowed his head and bowed to Xiao Diansi.

Xiao Diansi stared at Xiao Tianquan and knew that his nephew really couldn't make the decision on this matter. He felt sympathetic, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel jealous.

It's just that Xiao Tianquan is too outstanding among the disciples of the Xiao family this year.

Bloodline, spiritual roots, talent, understanding, and appearance are all excellent.

If I were the ancestor, I would surely favor this grandson of the direct line and do everything possible to pave the way for him.

Compared with this vigorous and energetic son of heaven, I, a middle-aged Diansi who is depressed and servile, can be abandoned. No one will care or look at him.

As long as he is young, talented, and good-looking, the future benefits for the Xiao family are unlimited.

Especially... marriage.

Xiao Diansi said indifferently: "I heard that the ancestors are discussing your marriage with Xia Diansi..."

This sudden sentence was like a bolt from the blue, shocking Mo Hua who was eavesdropping on the side.

Xiaotian Dog... and Xia Diansi's marriage? !

Huh? ?

Mo Hua's mouth opened like a duck egg.

What the hell?

After being shocked, Mo Hua immediately realized something, restrained his emotions, concentrated, and continued to listen.

On the other side, in the soundproof array.

Xiao Tianquan handed over his hand and remained silent, obviously acquiescing.

Xiao Diansi's face showed a hint of ridicule and a hint of admiration. He nodded and said: "As expected of the ancestor, ordinary people wouldn't dare to think..."

"According to common sense, with the rank and status of my Xiao family, I am definitely not worthy of marrying with the Xia family, but you and Xia Diansi are in a very special situation..."

"You have good spiritual roots, good talents, unlimited future, and most importantly, you are very young."

"Xia Diansi is not bad either. His appearance and spirit are also excellent. There is nothing picky about him. But he is older and has been working in Daotingsi all year round. He is cold and has a bad temper."

"With Xia Diansi's appearance, it is not easy to propose a marriage to someone, or even marry him or her. But you are still young, and you make up for the shortcomings of your family with your future."

"In this way, you two are a perfect match."

Xiao Diansi's eyes darkened slightly and he glanced at Xiao Tianquan, "I heard... Inspector Xia from the Xia family has met you in person and is very satisfied with you?"

Xiao Tianquan said solemnly and respectfully: "Quan Mengxia monitors and promotes love."

Xiao Diansi sneered, sighed, and said in a cold voice:

"You are both very good at calculating... By marrying the two of you, the Xia family will have a rope to tie the Xiao family, and the Xiao family will also have a ladder to climb up. Okay, okay..."

Only his hard-working old dog was sold.

If he didn't scream, he could still breathe a few breaths. If he screamed, he might not even have any bones left.

Xiao Tianquan also sighed a little, and said with a sincere expression:

"Uncle, your kindness will be unforgettable to me. These plans were made by our ancestors. I really have no right to comment... But don't worry, uncle, I will be the boss one day and I will entrust you with important responsibilities." . In the future, even if you can't be the boss, at least the position of deputy boss is yours."

Xiao Diansi nodded, "Yes, at least you have learned well the art of painting people's cakes and making them work hard. With this skill, you should have no problem doing it as a boss..."

Xiao Tianquan said: "Uncle..."

Xiao Diansi raised his eyebrows, "I treat you well, so don't think I'm a fool."

Xiao Tianquan fell silent.

Xiao Diansi took another deep look at Xiao Tianquan at the end and said, "My surname is Xiao, and you are the proud son of the Xiao family who has high hopes for the Xiao family. You are the pillar of the Xiao family's future... For the sake of this love, I will protect you." Leave safely from this Dragon King Temple."

"But after I go out, I will give up the identity of Diansi, and I will also give up the surname 'Xiao', and you will have nothing to do with me anymore. Whether you are dead or alive, it has nothing to do with me..."

Xiao Diansi said this and left indifferently.

Xiao Tianquan looked a little disappointed, as if he was still grateful for Xiao Diansi's care for him these days, but within a moment, the disappointment disappeared.

He is the proud man of heaven, and unlike Xiao Diansi, it is a good thing to part ways at this time.

Xiao Tianquan bowed to Xiao Diansi's back, then turned and left.

After the two left, Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief, then retrieved the silver needle, put away the wire, concealed himself, quietly returned to the resting place, and got into his own blanket.

The "blanket man" became an ink painting again.

Gu Changhuai noticed the movement, looked around, lowered his voice and asked, "What did you hear?"

Xia Diansi also looked over curiously.

Mo Hua looked back in shock as he recalled the conversation just now.

Heard something amazing!

I also ate a shockingly big melon!

This melon is so big that I can't even eat it.

The Xiao family and the Xia family actually wanted to pair Roaring Sky Dog and Xia Diansi!

Mo Hua opened his mouth and was about to speak, but turned to look at Xia Diansi and paused again.

Does Sister Xia know about this?

If she doesn't know, even if she is told, it seems... of no use?

The arms can't twist the thighs. Although Sister Xia is a golden elixir, the Xia family is the seat of the Central Taoist Court and a great Taozhou family in the middle of Kyushu.

Even if she doesn't agree, what can she do?

And if she already knew it in advance, wouldn't she be just talking nonsense in front of the person involved?

After all, it is not good to speak out about such private marriage discussions.

Sister Xia probably doesn't want others to know, and she doesn't like others to talk about it.

As for Uncle Gu.

He may not even be aware of this idiot. With his current relationship with Sister Xia, he may not be able to realize anything if he is told.

Mo Hua silently swallowed the big melon.

He couldn't tell because he felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing Mo Hua's hesitation, Gu Changhuai wondered: "Tell me, what are you hesitating about?"

Mo Hua looked at Gu Changhuai and then at Xia Diansi. He sighed in his heart and picked another thing to say:

"I just heard a big secret...that Shui Yanluo's skills were actually taught by the Smiling Tiger!"

Gu Changhuai was shocked.

Xia Diansi was a little surprised, "Smiling Tiger?"

Gu Changhuai was helpless: "Xiao Diansi... Mo Hua gave him the nickname Smiling Tiger."

"That's it..."

Xia Diansi nodded, recalling Xiao Diansi's smiling face, and had to admit in his heart that Mo Hua's nickname was quite appropriate.

Seeing this, Mo Hua followed suit and said, "I also gave Xiao Tianquan a nickname, 'Howling Sky Dog'."

"Howling Sky Dog?"

Xia Diansi was startled for a moment, then his expression remained normal, but his lips pursed slightly, obviously wanting to laugh, but trying his best to hold it back.

Gu Changhuai sighed: "Let's get down to business."

Mo Hua said "Oh", and after a little consideration, he briefly told the words of Smiling Tiger and Water Yama.

Of course, he omitted the fact that the Water Prison Box was in his hands.

He also told the story of Xiao Tianquan.

"That Smiling Tiger took the 'Xiaotian Dog' to the Rouge Boat, saying that he was looking for a woman to entertain him, and also said that he would introduce the 'Xiaotian Dog' to the 'Gongzi Pavilion' in order to expand his network..."

While saying these words, Mo Hua secretly glanced at Xia Diansi, and saw that she frowned slightly, with a hint of disgust in her expression, and nodded slightly.

Although Mo Hua did not say the biggest melon, this secret was enough to surprise Gu Changhuai and Xia Diansi.

They did not expect that Xiao Diansi was so deeply involved.

As for Xiao Tianquan's matter, the two were surprised, but not so surprised.

Behind the scenes, Yanzhizhou is a place of ecstasy, and Gongzi Pavilion is a place of power and nobility. This kind of "olive branch" is almost impossible for ordinary children of noble families to refuse, except for those who are truly determined and upright.

As long as it is not exposed, it will even be a desirable "good thing" that many people would love to have.

It is not surprising that Xiao Tianquan has been to Yanzhizhou.

Mo Hua speculated: "Now it seems that this Smiling Tiger actually learned the superior inheritance of the Water Prison Sect."

"The inheritance of the Water Prison Sect is divided into 'classes', and the superiors conquer the inferiors, and no disobedience is allowed."

"The inheritance of the Smiling Tiger is obviously superior to that of the Water Yama, so the vicious Water Yama will be so honest in front of the Smiling Tiger..."

Gu Changhuai frowned, "If so, it may not be so easy to take down Xiao Diansi..."

Mo Hua also nodded, "If it is said that all the skills of the Water Yama are from the Smiling Tiger, then the Smiling Tiger may know everything that the Water Yama knows, and may even be stronger than the Water Yama."

"In other words, he not only knows the Guishui Sword, but also the Water Shadow Step, the Water Punishment Whip, and even... that weird Blood Eye Technique..."

Gu Changhuai and Xia Diansi looked a little solemn.

In this way, this Xiao Diansi is the Jindan version of "Water Yama", and it is also an enhanced version of Taoism.

Or in other words, the seemingly tricky Water Yama is actually just a "fake" version of Xiao Diansi.

"This Xiao Zhenhai is so well hidden..." Gu Changhuai sighed.

Xiao Zhenhai is Xiao Diansi's name.

For so many years, he has been scheming in Daotingsi, and he is very restrained when fighting with others. It seems that his cultivation strength is only in the middle, neither up nor down, but I didn't expect that there are so many unpredictable means hidden behind the scenes.

Xia Diansi said seriously: "In this case, I'm afraid I can't easily attack Xiao Diansi. It's best to be able to live in peace and leave this Dragon King Temple first..."

Mo Hua nodded.

But he knew in his heart that it might not be that simple.

If it was before, Smiling Tiger might still have the intention of living in peace and flying away, after all, he didn't want to really offend the Xia family and the Gu family.

But now, he knows that the Water Prison Box is in his hands, and the situation is different again.

Gu Changhuai also said: "Xiao Zhenhai is a kind-looking man with a wicked heart. He is very cunning. We should be careful..."

"Other things are fine, except for that pupil technique. If he also practices it, it is estimated that he will be much stronger than Shui Yanluo. Once you are hit by his pupil technique, you will be in danger in this dangerous Dragon King Temple..."

Xia Diansi pondered for a moment, took out a jade pendant, and said:

"This is my Xia family's tranquilizing jade. It is a secret spiritual weapon that is not passed on to others. It can calm the mind and ward off evil. Wear it on your chest. Once you are hit by the pupil technique, you can protect your heart and suppress the evil spirit. Although it cannot be completely blocked, it is far better than nothing."

This is what she originally planned to use to deal with Shui Yanluo.

Gu Changhuai has a bad temper and speaks harshly. She originally didn't intend to give it to him, but now the situation is special. Among the several golden elixirs in the Dragon King Temple, only Gu Changhuai is worthy of her trust.

Gu Changhuai hesitated for a moment, silently took the jade pendant, thought about it, and handed it to Mo Hua, saying:

"Take it."

He was worried that Mo Hua would be poisoned by Xiao Diansi. After all, Xiao Diansi wanted to take Mo Hua as a hostage from the beginning.

Mo Hua wanted to hit Gu Changhuai's head with a stick.

With such emotional intelligence, it's no wonder that he is single all his life.

Mo Hua naturally couldn't take it, and desperately winked at Gu Changhuai.

"Uncle Gu, this jade pendant is so valuable, you should keep it well."

Gu Changhuai said, "You..."

Mo Hua said: "I'm fine, even if the smiling tiger uses pupil skills, it will only attack you and Sister Xia. You and Sister Xia are golden elixirs, you are safe, I am safe, if you are attacked by the smiling tiger, then I will be in greater danger..."

Gu Changhuai pondered for a moment, nodded, said "OK", and then carefully put the jade pendant away.

Xia Diansi said nothing, silently looking at Gu Changhuai, with a strange look, wondering if he was angry.

Mo Hua sighed, feeling a little tired.

He suddenly realized how hard it was for Elder Gu Hong to be a matchmaker...

After that, everyone quieted down.

Ouyang Feng and Hua Qianqian were still healing.

Xiao Diansi and Shui Yanluo were also at peace for the time being.

Mr. Wu had knelt in front of the gate of the sheep horn without knowing when, mumbling in his mouth, expressing his piety to the Lord of the Great Wilderness.

Time passed little by little.

The blood grooves around the sheep horn relief were also filled little by little with the blood of the three hearts that served as "human sacrifices".

Finally, after a full day, the blood in the heart was sucked dry and completely shriveled.

The blood groove of the sheep horn relief was also completely filled, and the surrounding area showed strange and obscure blood-colored lines.

A majestic and terrifying aura emanated from the sheep head relief.

Mo Hua's pupils shrank slightly.

Others also noticed this strange aura, and they were a little uneasy in confusion.

Mr. Wu immediately prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowed six times, and said devoutly and fearfully:

"Lord God, I have brought the sacrifice, please open the door of living sacrifice!"

After Mr. Wu finished speaking, he prostrated himself on the ground.

After a while, a dull sound sounded, as if some existence in the dark responded to Mr. Wu's plea.

Above the gate, in the eyes of the sheep horn relief, the ancient golden light flashed.

Then, the relief opened its mouth and loosened the two doors that were bitten.

The gate slowly opened.

What caught his eyes was a vast sea of ​​blood, which was thicker and more viscous than the blood remaining outside. It seemed endless.

This was a huge blood pool with no end in sight.

In the center of the blood pool, there were several demon statues, guarding the middle with an altar. On the altar stood a pair of ferocious goat horns.

In front of the goat horns, there were bloody offerings, and all around were white bones.

This was the place where the evil god was worshipped in the Dragon King Temple of Yanshui River, and it was exactly what Mo Hua had been thinking about day and night...

The altar of the Lord of the Great Wilderness!

Mo Hua even breathed a little lighter, fearing that if he breathed too heavily, the altar would run away...
