Asking about longevity

After letting go of her worries, Yuer's smile became purer and she could really have fun.

Yuer held a candied haws in her mouth and ran around the streets and alleys of Qingzhou City, looking at lanterns, acrobatics, and staring at cats, dogs and spirit animals without blinking.

Mo Hua followed Yuer, looking relieved. But Yuer's words remained in his heart.

"Three 'Yu'er', one in the mountains, one in the water, and one is himself, silently watching him--

Mo Hua couldn't help but think of the nightmare that Yu'er told him a long time ago:

"There are many mountains and monsters in the dream, and it's bloody--"

"What rabbit, what crying, what one mountain, one water, one person---"

"Many people will die, blood will flow into the river, bones will be paved into high buildings, human flesh will be cast into cities, all connected together..

"Because of Yu'er, everyone will die--"

He remained calm and thought silently.

The opportunity for him to enter the Ganxuezhou world and be able to worship at the Taixu Gate was "Yu'er".

Mr. Tu wanted to catch Yu'er, the demons of the Great Wilderness invaded Yu'er's nightmare, and Yu'er's mark was clearly visible on the authority of the Great Wilderness Evil God..·

All these show that Yu'er and the Great Wilderness Evil God must exist. In a certain relationship.

"The rabbit is crying——"

Mo Hua thought hard for a long time, turned his head and looked at the innocent Yu'er, and suddenly, "This child, wouldn't he say - a cunning rabbit has three burrows——"

A cunning rabbit has three burrows, one mountain, one water, and one person?

And·

"Many people will die, their blood will flow into the river, their bones will be paved into high-rise buildings, and their flesh will be built into cities——"

This sentence made Mo Hua think of the numerous evil bone formations in the blood swamp of Yanluo Mountain, which were scattered around the Demon Sect, devouring flesh and blood life, and transforming it into deadly evil power and transmitting it into the earth veins.

All the scenes he saw seemed to coincide with Yu'er's nightmare in secret.

Mo Hua's pupils shrank slightly.

He just felt that he seemed to have grasped something vaguely——

After walking around the street, it was getting dark, lanterns were hanging high, and fireworks were all over the sky.

Mo Hua held Yu'er's hand and walked in the colorful Under the illumination of fireworks, he returned to the Gu family.

Half an hour later, the Gu family's annual banquet began.

This year's ceremony was even bigger than last year, and there were more guests than last year. The entire hall looked more lively than in previous years.

All the guests were seated in order from the high platform to the lower platform according to their closeness, cultivation level, and status. Mo Hua sat on the high platform, only one seat lower than the head of the family.

Unconsciously, he had changed from a "regular guest" to a "distinguished guest" at the Gu family's annual banquet.

This was not only because of Mr. Xun's face, but also because he had the identity of the "leader of formation" who dominated thousands of sects in Ganxuezhou.

Wenren Wan and Yu'er sat elsewhere. Although their seats were not low, they did not sit at the same table with him as in previous years.

Mo Hua was a little confused.

Until the banquet began, there were constantly unfamiliar guests. When the elders of the clan or the monks of the sect came to him with wine glasses and toasted him, Mo Hua finally understood why.

He came to this meal for "socializing" and could not eat and drink as usual.

He could not eat alone and ignore others.

Because people came to toast frequently, it was not convenient for Yu'er and Wen Renwan to sit with him.

Mo Hua sighed.

As expected, people are afraid of fame and pigs are afraid of being fat.

He would also be burdened by fame one day.

Of course, if it were someone else, such a good thing would be something they would be looking for, and Mo Hua had nothing to be hypocritical about.

Although he was a little uncomfortable, he accepted everyone who came.

The reason why these cultivators from the aristocratic families and sects flocked to the Gu family's annual banquet was probably to make friends with the "leader of formation" in the Ganxuezhou world.

But since these people can attend the Gu family's annual banquet, it means that they have a good relationship with the Gu family.

Mo Hua has received a lot of care from the Gu family. Now that he has a little reputation, it is only natural for him to stand up for the Gu family and support the family.

It's just a drink and a few polite words anyway, which is not difficult at all. On the contrary, he can make friends with more monks.

"A cup of wine" friendship is also a friendship.

Gu Shouyan, who was sitting in the upper seat, was originally worried that Mo Hua would resist this kind of social interaction between noble families.

He didn't want to do these worldly things.

But he is the head of the family, and the exchanges between noble families are inevitable.

No matter how upright the noble family is, it is impossible to have a true "gentleman's friendship" that is as light as water. Some connections and interests must be considered.

Fortunately, Mo Hua is young and broad-minded, and doesn't care so much.

Gu Shouyan is secretly grateful in his heart.

In this way, people come and go, and Mo Hua doesn't know who he clinked glasses with and drank with.

Fortunately, the Gu family knew his "taste" and prepared fruit wine for him. His cheeks were flushed from drinking, but he was not obviously drunk.

Gu Shouyan was afraid that he would really get him drunk, so he stopped people from toasting.

Mo Hua was free to deal with the delicacies on the table.

After eating for a while, there was a sudden noise. Mo Hua looked up and saw a group of people surrounding a man in a white Taoist robe with gold and jade patterns.

The man was tall and straight, with a dignified face, and his aura was as deep as a pavilion and a mountain.

It was Xia Jian, the Yuhua Realm Taoist Court Supervisor from the Xia family, who had met Mo Hua several times.

Gu Shouyan, the head of the Gu family, stood up to greet him.

"Xia Jian, I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar."

Supervisor Xia didn't show any airs, and said in a very gentle tone, "I'm busy with business, so I'm late. Don't blame me, head of the family."

"Inspector, please take a seat." Gu Shouyan said with cupped hands.

Inspector Xia walked up to the high platform and sat on an equal footing with the head of the Gu family. He happened to be sitting next to Mo Hua.

Only then did Mo Hua know who the empty space on his upper left was for.

"It turned out to be Inspector Xia——"

Mo Hua muttered in his heart.

But he doesn't care. Things like seating have nothing to do with him. He has already "entertained" once, and now he only needs to be responsible for eating and filling his stomach.

Besides, he was not familiar with Inspector Xia, so there was no need to pay attention to him.

It is impossible for him, the dignified Inspector Xia, to come and toast to him in person.

Mo Hua began to immerse himself in dealing with a very big crab on the table, with as much meat on its pincers as a steamed bun.

But before he finished even one crab, a strange but familiar voice sounded in his ears:

"Little brother."

Mo Hua turned his head and saw Inspector Xia holding a cup, looking at him with majesty but also a bit of kindness.

Mo Hua was stunned.

Inspector Xia sat in his seat, holding a cup and making no other movements.

After a moment, Mo Hua understood. He picked up the cup and said to Inspector Xia, "Inspector Xia, I want to toast you."

After all, Supervisor Xia is an immortal, a Supervisor of Daoting.

Even if he holds the cup first, he cannot be allowed to toast first.

This ink painting is still clear.

Inspector Xia was quite satisfied with Mo Hua's agility. He drank the wine in his glass and said slowly:

"Speaking of which, my little brother and I have some sort of fate."

"Yes."

"I wonder, little brother, what are your plans next?"

Mo Hua was a little confused, "Supervision means————."

Inspector Xia put down his wine glass, his lips did not move, but his voice came out:

"Preaching in the Qianxue Sect lasts for nine years. In two years, you will graduate. After that, do you plan to stay in the Taixu Sect, teach in the inner sect and become an elder, or do you want to try your luck in the outside world?"

Hearing this, Mo Hua felt something was wrong.

Did Supervisor Xia ask himself this kind of thing at the New Year's banquet in front of so many people?

He looked around and was surprised to find that there were so many people around him, all of whom seemed to have seen and heard nothing about it.

Only the head of the Gu family, who was in the Ascension Realm, seemed to know something, but he was drinking alone and didn't show much emotion.

Supervisor Xia's voice reached Mo Hua's ears, "Heaven knows what the earth knows about what is going on here. You know it and I know it."

Mo Hua suddenly understood, and soon understood, and asked: "Supervisor, do you want to win me over to Xia's house?"

Xia Supervisor Weizheng thought that this kid was very direct and would say whatever he wanted.

But that's okay, it's easier to talk to smart people.

"Little brother, what do you think?"

"Is there any benefit?" Mo Hua is more pragmatic.

Supervisor Xia silently glanced at the ink painting, "The Xia family is an ancient aristocratic family. It is of the sixth rank. It is located in Daozhou, in the middle of the Nine Provinces. It is subordinate to the central Taoist court. It has produced several pavilion elders in the past dynasties. Its power spans the world and its heritage is unfathomable. ——.”

Inspector Xia only stated some facts.

Any cultivator with some knowledge will understand the weight of these words.

Any sentence in it, whether it is "ancient aristocratic family", "sixth grade", "located in Daozhou", "affiliated to the Dao court", or "has produced several pavilion elders" - are ordinary monks and family sects. All within reach.

Even the fifth-grade aristocratic families in Qianxue State are completely different.

Mo Hua shook his head and said, "This is the Xia family's business and has nothing to do with me."

"If you seek refuge with the Xia family——"

"My surname is Mo." Mo Hua said calmly.

Supervisor Xia looked slightly stunned, and then understood the meaning of Mo Hua.

No matter how strong the Xia family is, it is still just the "Xia" family.

Even if Mo Hua joins the Xia family, he is still an outsider after all. He also did not want to get married, change his surname, give up his origin, or become attached to a wealthy family.

Supervisor Xia's expression was a little indifferent.

But in his heart, he took a high look at Mo Hua.

There are many talented people in this world, and there are many arrogant people, but those who can see the situation clearly and recognize their own class are very rare.

Having a humble background, but having self-esteem and not blindly clinging to power, is the true person who is neither humble nor arrogant.

"You know the Three Talents Formation, right?" Xia Supervised.

Mo Hua's eyes suddenly lit up.

"My Xia family has the inheritance of the Three Talents Formation." Supervisor Xia saw Mo Hua's expression and said calmly.

Mo Hua was greedy.

Mr. Xun Lao said that the true Three Talents Formation is related to the three talents of heaven, earth and man. It coordinates the infinite Dao of Heaven, the virtue of Kun Dao, and the strange changes of human nature. It has a huge pattern and a wide range of derivatives.

This is the knowledge of the Taoist government that governs the world.

The core inheritance of the three talents is strictly controlled by the Taoist court and is never spread to the outside world. Unless you go to Daozhou and enter Daoting,

If you get in touch with the high-level officials of Daoting, you will not be able to learn the essence of these three talents.

Mo Hua was a little itchy, and he also became more familiar with Supervisor Xia's attitude.

He asked quietly: "If I hang out with the Xia family, can I learn the Three Talents Formation?"

Inspector Xia shook his head, "No."

Mo Hua was disappointed and muttered, "What else can you say——"

He turned his head and finished chewing his big crab. Supervisor Xia could only say: "Your cultivation is not enough."

Mo Hua took a bite of crab meat and said, "Have you cultivated enough?"

"You must enter the upper echelons of the Xia family to have the opportunity to learn the Three Talents Formation." Xia Jian's eyes narrowed slightly.

Through the few words just now, Xia Jian understood that the "formation leader" in front of him was young and looked simple, but in fact he was very thoughtful.

Say what you want to say to the person.

Xia Jian also told the truth:

"The best way to enter the upper echelons of the Xia family is to 'marry into the family', change your name and surname, marry the real legitimate daughter of the Xia family, and enter the core of the power of the Xia family from then on."

"If you don't marry into the family, it's just an ordinary marriage. With your family background and qualifications, you can't marry the legitimate daughter of the Xia family, and naturally you can't enter the upper echelons of the Xia family."

"The importance of the Three Talents Formation, you are a formation master, you should know it very well. If you don't enter the core of the Xia family and don't stay in the upper echelons of the Xia family, you naturally can't learn it. "

Xia Jianzhan said the truth and did not hide it from Mo Hua.

But Mo Hua naturally could not marry into the Xia family, and he could not even marry a woman from the Xia family.

However, in front of Xia Jianzhan, he could not say it directly, but asked curiously: "What is a legitimate daughter of the right bloodline?

Are there different levels of legitimate daughters?"

Xia Jianzhan glanced at Mo Hua, not knowing whether to answer.

But Mo Hua had already turned his head to continue eating crabs, with an indifferent look.

Xia Jianzhan sighed slightly, and said: "Legitimate daughters are still different from legitimate daughters. The most important thing is bloodline. "Bloodline?"

Mo Hua frowned, and couldn't help but think of the little sister again.

"Bloodline--what exactly is it? Is it so particular?" Mo Hua asked Xia Jianzhan.

Xia Jianzhan was silent for a moment.

This is not a secret in the truly top-notch families, but ordinary cultivators do know very little about it.

Because cultivators with "bloodlines" are often concentrated in the ancient sixth-grade families with a long heritage and profound background,

and some powerful fifth-grade peak families.

Other families, and even ordinary casual cultivators, will also have "bloodlines" with a very small probability.

But this bloodline must be very weak.

Moreover, there are very few cultivators who know the knowledge of bloodlines. Without guidance, they have never awakened. Even if they have the power of bloodlines, they are likely to be covered in dust and live a muddled life.

Xia Jianjian hesitated for a moment, and then simply told Mo Hua all this:

"Bloodlines, in the final analysis, are the power hidden in the blood and flesh inheritance of cultivators. The source of this power is roughly divided into two types, one from cultivators with strong cultivation, and the other from divine beasts with strong bloodlines."

"Powerful cultivators practice specific skills or Taoism, cultivate special spiritual power or blood, which may be inherited with bloodlines."

"And divine beasts are innate beasts that inherit the essence of heaven and earth and have supreme power. Their bloodlines can also be integrated with cultivators, and then passed down from generation to generation."

"How is it passed down specifically?" Mo Hua asked Xia Jianjian curiously with sparkling eyes.

"These are all secrets of the ancient clan, so I can't say more." Supervisor Xia said.

Mo Hua felt a little regretful and asked again: "Do the real descendants of the big family, or the ancient family, have bloodlines?"

"Not necessarily," Supervisor Xia said, "Even in the big family, only a few can awaken their bloodlines."

Mo Hua nodded.

If you have bloodlines, even in the top family like the Xia family, you are superior.

This shows that my little sister is really special.

I just don't know if my little brother has any bloodline.

But my little brother is stupid and doesn't seem to hide his thoughts. If he really has bloodlines, he would have shown off to me long ago.-

Mo Hua frowned, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked solemnly:

"Supervisor Xia, look at me--do I look like I have hidden bloodlines?"

Supervisor Xia looked at Mo Hua silently.

He didn't really want to hit Mo Hua, but he couldn't say it directly, so he asked: "Is there anything special about your blood?"

Mo Hua nodded and said: "Yes, I am born weak, and it is particularly weak————"

Xia Jian:

How can this person be so confident and say that his "disadvantage" is a "specialty"? He can only be more tactful: "Among the casual cultivators, very few can awaken their blood, less than one in a million.

The implication is that unless there is green smoke coming out of your grave, and this green smoke rolls up and covers the sky, otherwise forget it.

Mo Hua thought about it and felt that it was true.

In this world, not all good things can fall on his head.

Is it possible that he himself does not know whether he has the power of blood? If he has a little bit of blood power, he will not be born weak to this extent.

But speaking of blood, Mo Hua thought of a key question:

"Xia Jian, can cultivators have the blood of "dragon"? "

If he asked others this kind of question, he probably wouldn't get anything out of it. But Xia Jian, who was born in a sixth-rank ancient family and lived in Daozhou, should know something.

When three people walk together, there must be one who is my teacher. Even if he is not familiar with Xia Jian, it should be okay to ask some questions.

What's more, it was Xia Jian who took the initiative to talk to him. He might want to win him over. If he had this opportunity,

it would be a waste not to ask.

Xia Jian did not answer but asked: "What do you think?"

Mo Hua thought for a moment and said: "The emperor of Dao Ting?"

Xia Jian nodded, "The lineage of the emperor of Dao Ting, from Dao Jun to Dao Zi, all have dragon blood in their bodies."

Mo Hua asked: "Does it mean that having 'dragon' blood is related to the emperor?"

“Not entirely,” Xia Supervisor said, “dragons are also divided into three, six or nine levels, and the blood of the emperor is the blood of the true dragon.

Under the real dragon, there are also karma dragons and dragons. "

"Yelong and Jiaolong?"

"Dragon snakes and strange beasts transform through tribulations, and the dragons they transform into are dragons. Under the true dragon, in the four directions of the world, if there are innate mutations or dragons inherited from acquired dragon blood, they are karma dragons."

"Oh——" Mo Hua nodded, then lowered his voice and asked the question he wanted to ask the most:

“Then————-is there anything——————that can “eat” a dragon?”

As soon as these words came out, Supervisor Xia felt his heart skip a beat and his scalp became numb.

Eat dragon? !

This kid really has the courage to ask...

Supervisor Xia looked calm, but the hand holding the wine glass was trembling slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Dragon is a mythical beast.

Living at the top of all spirits, nothing in this world can feed on dragons. "

"Oh--"-" Mo Hua also reacted. Knowing that he asked something he shouldn't have asked, he smiled stupidly, turned his head and continued to eat crabs.

Supervisor Xia glanced at Mo Hua and saw that he was gnawing crabs as usual. He thought that he was ignorant and fearless. He asked this casually and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't take the child's words seriously, but he didn't take it to heart.

Later, while eating, Mo Hua changed the topic and asked Supervisor Xia some trivial matters about the Xia family and Daozhou.

Because it is a trivial matter, it is not so "scary", and Supervisor Xia is not tired of it.

, answered one by one.

As Mo Hua chatted, he unexpectedly discovered that Supervisor Xia did not seem to be a purely utilitarian, selfish, and "corrupt" supervisor as he had thought before.

Mo Hua thought for a while and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Supervisor, I have a question that may be a little offensive..."

Supervisor Xia gave Mo Hua a cold look. What question was on his mind that could be more offensive than "eating a dragon"?

"Just ask."

Mo Hua said: "You knew about Xiao Tianquan early on, right? Why do you protect him so much?"

This is indeed a bit harsh.

Supervisor Xia paused for a moment and said calmly: "This is a matter of the Xia family, so I can't say more."

Mo Hua nodded and asked no more questions.

Supervisor Xia looked at the ink painting, and suddenly the cause and effect moved, and he felt something in his heart, and then slowly said: "This is how the family is, you are willing to do things, and you will be taken care of by the family."

"But there are many aristocratic families, and the good things that are easy to do, such as fame and fortune, will not be your turn at all."

"Only by doing things that others don't bother to do or don't want to do, even if they are dirty or stupid things, will they not be lost to everyone -"

Supervisor Xia looked indifferent and said meaningfully.

Mo Huayi nodded in understanding.

Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Inspector Xia said:

"Think about what I said, but your cultivation level is still too low. Even if you want to join the Xia family, it's still too early, so don't worry and think about it slowly."

"Okay." Mo Hua nodded.

Supervisor Xia flicked his sleeves, as if some spell had been canceled, the spirit shield disappeared, and the noise around him,

Slightly bigger.

Mo Hua knew that this "secret conversation" in public was over.

After that, Supervisor Xia didn't look at him again or say a word to him, as if he didn't know him at all.

Mo Hua sighed in his heart.

As expected, it was Daoting's supervision, and everything was done flawlessly.

The secret conversation ended and the annual banquet continued.

While Mo Hua was eating delicacies, he was thinking about the conversation he had just had with Supervisor Xia.

Including the future way out, bloodline, dragons and so on...

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly there was another commotion in the crowd. Mo Hua looked up and found another person walking not far away, surrounded by the crowd.

The person who came was a graceful and luxurious woman, with a cold expression and a beautiful face. She was wearing a colorful and gorgeous hundred-flower robe embroidered with hundreds of flowers, yet dignified and elegant.

This woman was astonishingly beautiful and had a strong temperament. Walking through the crowd, one couldn't help but feel ashamed.

The originally noisy banquet suddenly became a little quieter.

Gu Shouyan looked confused and did not dare to neglect. He immediately stood up to greet him and said, "I don't know that the Master of Flower Valley is here, but he is not welcome at a distance."

Among the Gu family, there were also female disciples who had entered Baihua Valley. At this time, they all stood up and came to this beautiful woman. They bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings to the Master of the Valley."

The Lord of Flower Valley slightly tilted his head.

Gu Shouyan was a little confused and asked: "Valley Master, you are here——"

The Huagu Master's startled gaze passed between the female disciples of the Gu family, then drifted towards the high platform.

It fell on Mo Hua, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth:

"Let me take a look - my disciple from Baihua Valley -
