MTL - Asking About Longevity-Chapter 634 Exterminate the whole family

Chapter 634: Extermination of the Family

Mo Hua’s pupils shrank.

 Destroy the family? !

 Xie family?

 “The Xie family of Bishan City, isn’t it…”

Murong Caiyun nodded, "That was the day when we went to arrest the traitors in Jinmen and came into contact with the second-grade Xie family."

 Mo Hua remembered it.

That day, he, Senior Sister Murong, and Senior Brother Feng accepted the mission and went to Bishan City to capture a traitor who broke the Golden Gate.

It is said that the traitor stole something from the Xie family and disappeared without a trace. The Xie family could not catch him, so he sent the task to the sect.

 In order to arrest people, the Xie family went to great lengths to seal off the city and search the streets.

 But for some reason, the meritorious service was given very little.

 And the traitor is indeed difficult to catch.

 “But the fact is...”

“It is said that the Fire Buddha colluded with the Xie family and the spoils were divided unevenly, so he killed everyone in the Xie family..."

"According to the monks in Bishan City, that night, the entire Xie family's mansion was shrouded in a sea of ​​fire, and half the sky was dyed red with blood. All the monks in the Xie family were killed like evil ghosts in purgatory, divided into pieces, and then buried in Turned into ashes in the fire of karma..."

"What's even more outrageous is that some people don't distinguish between right and wrong, saying that the Xie family was exterminated because they must have committed many injustices, and that the Fire Buddha killed people to do justice for heaven..."

“Sister, why was the Xie family wiped out by the Fire Buddha?”

“The Xie family is a second-grade family after all, and there are many monks in the family. Even if they are defeated, they can still hold on for a while, and maybe one or two can escape..."

Murong Caiyun raised her white fingers and counted them one by one for Mo Hua...

As if thinking of that scene, Mo Hua felt awe-struck for a moment.

"Rumors are spreading, and no one knows what happened..." Murong Caiyun shook his head.

Mo Hua frowned, then felt unbearable and asked:

 “Is it true...that there is not a single person left alive?”

 “The Xie family is all dead…”

Moreover, Mo Hua doesn’t know what the traitor stole from the Xie family.

The traitor's art of disguise was very exquisite. He was sometimes a man, sometimes a woman, sometimes an old woman, sometimes a dwarf. When he was caught, he looked like a big man.

 …

 “This thing is very strange…”

The strange thing about this matter is...

Murong Caiyun sighed deeply, his expression extremely solemn.

 “There are all kinds of things…”

Mo Hua asked in a low voice:

 So although Mo Hua's spiritual consciousness is strong and can recognize his spiritual power, he cannot restore the flesh and blood appearance of the traitor apart from his spiritual power.

 It took a lot of effort to capture him.

 “Didn’t the Xie family resist?”

Murong Caiyun's eyes narrowed slightly, "I think so too..."

 Have no idea what his original appearance was.

Murong Caiyun shook his head, "I don't know either. The Dao Tingsi is still investigating, and the rumors outside are not very credible."

Mo Hua was sympathetic, but also a little confused:

“Some people say that the Fire Buddha was doing evil things, so he took all the Xie family members as sacrifices…”

Murong Caiyun sighed in a low voice, "No..."

 When leaving Bishan City, Mo Hua only had a vague feeling that this matter was not over yet.

　And the power of the Fire Meteor Technique may be much more terrifying than I imagined...

“It is said that the Xie family had offended the Buddha of Fire and had a grudge. Buddha of Fire came here to take revenge..."

“No matter how powerful the Fire Buddha is, he is only a second-grade sin cultivator.”

“In the boundless fire of karma, the chief culprit, the Fire Buddha, is wearing a cassock, his eyes are red, he is chanting the name of the Buddha, and his face is filled with cold compassion..."

“No matter how weak the Xie family is, it is still one of the best monastic families in Bishan City…”

 But I didn’t expect that it would start with the “annihilation” of the Xie family…

 “What kind of gossip?” Mo Hua asked curiously.

“It is also said that the head of the Xie family took away the woman he loved from the Fire Buddha. The Fire Buddha was so disheartened that he became a monk and became a demon. Now that he has perfected his magic, he sacrificed his entire family to pay homage to his beloved woman..."

 What the spiritual consciousness detects is only the existence of spiritual power, not the appearance of flesh and blood.

The Fire Buddha seems to be much more dangerous than I thought...

He practiced the "Golden Escape Technique" of breaking Jinmen, and he was also proficient in "disguise". He disguised himself as a woman and hid in a brothel called a restaurant but actually a brothel.

“Logically speaking, it is impossible for the Fire Buddha to kill all the monks in a family...”

Mo Hua thought of "Qiao Laowu" and "Yin Leizi", and asked doubtfully: "Fire Buddha...does he have any accomplices?"

He may not be able to do this by himself.

 “I don’t know that…”

Murong Caiyun shook his head, "The method of exterminating families is brutal, and the impact is extremely bad. Daotingsi will block the news and not disclose any clues to the outside world."

“Has there been any family extermination before?” Mo Hua asked.

Murong Caiyun thought for a while before speaking, "Rarely...The last time, it seems that it was more than a hundred years ago, when a small family was wiped out by evil cultivators..."

“I don’t know the details. I only found out about it after my sister-in-law told me about it.”

“The nature of the extermination of the family was so bad that some small families were panicked. The upper echelons of the Daoting Department were furious and sent a large number of officials and officials to search for the evil cultivators day and night.”

“In the end, all the criminal cultivators were captured and died late in the battle. They were hung up to show to the public to serve as a warning..."

“Since then, we haven’t heard much about the extermination of the family.”

"Then now, the Xie family was wiped out by the Fire Buddha..."

"This kind of thing will also shake people's hearts, so Daotingsi will not reveal any information until the criminal cultivator is arrested and the truth is clarified."

"Then..." Mo Hua whispered, "Will the Tao Tingsi issue a reward to the sect to hunt down the Fire Buddha?"

 “No.” Murong Caiyun affirmed.

 “No way?” Mo Hua was a little disappointed.

"Um."

Murong Caiyun nodded and explained:

"This kind of thing is too dangerous..."

“The bounties issued by the Dao Tingsi generally target criminal cultivators in the early and middle stages of foundation building. Although their strength is not weak, they can still be dealt with with the cooperation of the sect disciples.”

"But Huo Buddha is different. This kind of murderous and extremely dangerous sin cultivator, Daotingsi dare not give the task to the sect."

“Most of the disciples of the sect come from aristocratic families. Once something goes wrong, Daotingsi will also be held accountable.”

"What's more, if it involves the extermination of a family, Daotingsi will not leak the information in order to keep it confidential."

“At most, after the Fire Buddha has been arrested and the matter has settled, we will issue some tasks and ask the sect disciples to help catch some fish that slipped through the net…”

"oh…"

Mo Hua nodded, looking thoughtful, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Murong Caiyun glanced at the ink painting and warned:

 “Don’t come up with any wrong ideas...”

Mo Hua was startled.

Murong Caiyun asked: "Are you interested in the Fire Buddha?"

 “So be it…”

Mo Hua said vaguely.

 He was not interested in the Fire Buddha, but mainly in the Fire Buddha's forbidden techniques.

Murong Caiyun’s eyes brightened slightly when he saw the ink painting, and he said helplessly:

“The pursuit of the Fire Buddha is a matter for the Daoting Secretary, and there is no room for our intervention.”

"And this matter is extremely dangerous. If you fall into the hands of the Fire Buddha, you may be in trouble. If you can escape from the Fire Buddha once, you may not be able to escape the second time..."

Murong Caiyun looked worried, "So, don't take the risk of wading into this muddy water..."

Mo Hua thought carefully and solemnly said:

 “Sister, don’t worry!”

 …

After Murong Caiyun left, Mo Hua was thinking about the Fire Buddha.

 Senior sister is right, this matter is indeed too dangerous.

But forbidden magic is not easy to obtain, and merit cannot be exchanged for it.

What's more, Fire Buddha's Fire Meteor Technique is also a forbidden fire technique. There are two flames in the body, burning like a heart.

This is very likely to be the key to studying fireball collision, spell collapse, and spiritual energy fusion.

If you have a chance, you must get this meteoric fire technique!

Once you miss it, you don’t know when it will happen again next time.

 Just be sure to be cautious.

 Save your own life.

 I still have to support my parents in their old age!

Mo Hua frowned and began to think seriously:

 “But how can I obtain the Meteor Fire Technique?”

 Catch the Fire Buddha before Daotingsi?

Once Daotingsi catches Fire Buddha, even if Fire Buddha confesses the secret of "Meeting Fire Technique", he will not be able to obtain this forbidden technique.

It is impossible for Daotingsi to hand over dangerous forbidden techniques to his own little disciple of the Taixu Sect.

What's more, with the way Fire Buddha behaves, he would most likely rather "burn together" than hand over the forbidden technique.

As long as the Fire Buddha is arrested, this forbidden fire technique will be buried with him.

“Catch the Fire Buddha before Daotingsi? Or kill the Fire Buddha directly and search for his body?”

How to kill?

 Kill on your own?

Mo Hua thought for a moment and shook his head helplessly. "Not too possible…"

 Fire Buddha is vigilant, and his personal cultivation, spells, and means are all too strong.

What's more, he also has sinners like Yin Leizi, Blood Woodcutter, Ghost Faced Evil, etc. to act as his lackeys.

His losers are also not easy to deal with.

If you were to kill him by yourself, you would probably have to make careful preparations, set up an ambush in advance, and disintegrate the entire first-level formation to kill the Fire Buddha in the later stage of foundation building.

 Where can I find a first-grade formation to disintegrate?

Furthermore, the first-grade formation costs so much. If it disintegrates and kills a fire Buddha, it will be a waste of resources.

 Furthermore, Fire Buddha is cautious, and even if he sets a trap, he may not jump into it.

 So, I can only rely on others to kill...

 Helping on by oneself and doing small favors.

So, who will kill?

Mo Hua touched his chin and thought...

Senior Sister Murong and Senior Brother Feng will definitely not be able to do this.

Brothers and sisters, they are only in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. Although they are talented disciples of the Eight Gates, they are still inferior to the Fire Buddha who killed people and wiped out his family in the later stage of Foundation Establishment.

 Whether we can win is another matter.

 Once you miss it, you may lose your life.

Senior Sister Murong cares about herself and does not want to put herself in danger.

 Similarly, I don’t want my senior brothers and sisters who have helped me a lot to bear this kind of danger.

 They don’t have as many life-saving means as they do.

Then who else?

Mo Hua thought about it and found that there was only one person who could help and kill the Fire Buddha.

That is Gu Changhuai and Uncle Gu...

Jin Danjing Xiu, Daoting Dian Division.

 The status is also suitable and the cultivation level is sufficient.

And Uncle Gu seems to have been thinking about bringing the Fire Buddha to justice.

 But that’s the problem. He is from the Daoting Division. Even if he captures the Fire Buddha and tortures out the secret book of "Meeting Fire Technique", he is unlikely to hand it over to himself, both publicly and privately.

Put yourself in his shoes, if you were "Uncle Gu", you wouldn't hand over the fire-falling technique to "Mo Hua" who doesn't know the details.

 In his mind, he is a "dangerous" person.

It is impossible for him to let an already "dangerous" young monk learn a more "dangerous" forbidden technique...

 Ke Mo Hua thought about it and found that there was really no other option.

 Uncle Gu is already the only candidate.

Mo Hua sighed slightly.

 “Let’s take it one step at a time…”

“First find a way to get through Uncle Gu, get involved in the Daoting Division, get clues, and hunt down the Fire Buddha…”

“Then we will act according to the opportunity. Can we follow Uncle Gu to fish in troubled waters and secretly get the secret of the "Meeting Fire Technique"..."

 That’s all it can do for now.

Henceforth, Mo Hua continued to attend classes and practice as usual, doing homework with Yu'er, drawing formations, and then taking the time to inquire about the Fire Buddha.

 But Senior Sister Murong is right.

It is true that Daotingsi will not assign the task of burning the Buddha to the sect.

 For most disciples of the sect, the words "Fire Buddha" are almost nothing more than hearsay and a topic of conversation after class.

 It is impossible for them to come into contact with it in this life.

Mo Hua had no choice but to take some time out and go to Daotingsi to find Uncle Gu.

But the Tao Ting Si is very strict, and the Ting Si's office is not one that can be visited casually.

Relying on the route in his memory and his own wit, Mo Hua deceived the chief minister along the way and arrived at Gu Changhuai's court chief's room, only to find that he had failed.

Gu Changhuai went out to arrest Sin Xiu.

Mo Hua didn't know if it was the Fire Buddha that Gu Changhuai was looking for. He couldn't find anyone to ask, so he had to return without success.

“There is no one in the Daoting Division, so it’s really inconvenient to do things..."

Mo Hua sighed.

 He could only find another way.

During the ten-day break, Mo Hua had some free time, so he accompanied Yu'er and went back to Gu's house.

 This is the first time Yu'er looked back at home after entering Taixu Gate.

At the door of Gu's house, Wen Renwan had been waiting for her for a long time, with a look of anticipation on her face.

Although it was her idea to send Yu'er to Taixu Gate, mother and son are close to each other, so she worries about Yu'er day and night...

 Worry about how Yu'er's practice is going, whether she can eat well, whether she will be happy, and more importantly...

Can you not be troubled by nightmares, have a peaceful sleep, and have a good sleep?

Soon, the carriage stopped at the door of Gu's house.

Yu'er jumped out of the carriage, called out "Mother" and ran into Wen Renwan's arms.

Wen Renwan hugged Yu'er and was overjoyed to see that Yu'er had fair skin, rosy complexion, good spirits, and heavy hands. She seemed to have regained her vitality and gained a little weight.

This shows that Yu'er is happy and free from illness and disaster at Taixu Gate.

There are no horrible nightmares to disturb you.

Wen Renwan looked at the ink painting and felt grateful.

 In the evening, when Wen Renwan set up a table with delicacies from the sea, they were all things Mo Hua had never tasted before.

Mo Hua ate happily.

Yu'er also sat next to him, holding a small bowl and imitating ink painting, her little cheeks bulging.

Wen Renwan sat on the side, holding her cheek, looking at the two children, one big and one small, with a gentle smile in her eyes.

 After a while, Gu Changhuai came.

 He seemed to have just come back from Daotingsi, and his face looked dusty, but when he heard that Yu'er was back, he still came to take a look.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the ink painting next to Yu'er, his expression became complicated, and his scalp was slightly numb.

 He felt that trouble seemed to be coming...

“Chang Huai, you just came back, so you should have something to eat...” Wen Renwan said in a gentle tone.

Yu'er was a little cautious and said solemnly: "Hello, uncle..."

 Gu Changhuai's heart melted when he heard the childish "uncle", but his expression was still as stiff as ever, with a sense of clumsiness that he wanted to express goodwill but couldn't.

Mo Hua looked at it and shook his head.

Wen Renwan looked at the ink painting and then at Gu Changhuai. He understood and said with a smile:

 “I’ll take Yu’er for a walk outside to eat…”

"Changhuai..." Wen Renwan glanced at Gu Changhuai and gave him a sharp look, "Please treat Mo Hua."

Gu Changhuai's mouth felt bitter.

Hearing Renwan took Yu'er and left.

Gu Changhuai sighed, sat opposite the ink painting, poured himself a glass of wine, drank it all, and then said helplessly:

“You’re not here specifically to see me, are you?”

Mo Hua said truthfully: "It's not all..."

He sent Yu'er back, firstly, he wanted to send Yu'er back to Aunt Wan, so that Yu'er could meet her mother and not worry Aunt Wan.

 The second thing is to avoid Yu'er coming back alone and being harassed by demons in the middle of the night and unable to sleep.

 And he also missed a "ration" of spiritual consciousness.

 The last goal is of course Gu Changhuai.

 “Tell me, what’s the matter?”

Gu Changhuai sighed.

 This little trouble is coming, and there is no way to escape it.

Mo Hua blinked and whispered: "Uncle Gu, Daotingsi is looking for the Fire Buddha, can you take me with you?"

Gu Changhuai knew he was going to say this and refused righteously:

"no!"

 “Why not?” Mo Hua asked.

Gu Changhuai glanced at the ink painting and sighed: "You are too young, your cultivation level is too low, you have just started, and the most important thing is that you are not from Daotingsi..."

Mo Hua asked curiously: "If I were from Daotingsi, would that be all right?"

Gu Changhuai snorted coldly in his heart.

 People from Daotingsi…

How could Daotingsi be so easy to get into?

 From the executive director and chief executive at the lower level to the deputy chief executive and chief executive at the top, all candidates must pass an assessment before being hired.

 The assessment is very strict and covers many categories, including spiritual roots, skills, martial arts or magic, family background, whether there is a criminal record, whether there are any direct blood relatives who have been imprisoned or possessed by demons within three generations, etc...

Daotingsi’s review is extremely strict and the requirements are extremely high.

What's more, you are still a casual cultivator with no identity or background. How could you possibly get into the Daotingsi...

Gu Changhuai said perfunctorily: "Well, if you are from Daotingsi, I can barely consider it..."

Mo Hua silently took out a bronze waist badge.

 The shape is simple, very low-end, but very familiar...

Gu Changhuai was stunned for a moment, his brows twitching wildly.

Mo Hua’s eyes were cunning, but he said with a serious face:

"Uncle Gu, actually...I also have the identity of a Daotingsi..."
