Chapter 836 Lantern Festival(2/3)
This is the mutual recognition between Shinto strong men.
Mo Hua nodded, very satisfied.
In the book pavilion, the head of Taixu, who had always been there, saw the scene of Mo Hua and "Big Dog" shaking hands. He couldn't help but be a little stunned, and then his expression became more and more weird...
…
After that, Mo Hua would occasionally visit the big white dog and bring him some food.
One person and one dog can be regarded as getting along well.
It's just that for a long time, the big white dog was sleepy and lacked energy.
There's nothing I can do about this ink painting.
During this period of time, Mo Hua had been busy studying the Jingshen Sword and the Seven Souls Blood Prison Eye Technique on the Water Prison Forbidden Box, and unknowingly, he had forgotten about Water Hell.
But he forgot that no one else would.
Daotingsi is still investigating.
A few days later, Gu Changhuai sent a message to Mo Hua: "There is news about Shui Yanluo."
Mo Hua was surprised, then happy.
Sure enough, it’s good to know more people. If you don’t have time to do something, someone will do it for you.
Mo Hua hurriedly asked: "Where is Shui Yama?"
Gu Changhuai: "On a rouge boat."
"Rouge Zhou..." Mo Hua's eyes paused slightly.
Gu Changhuai continued: "Dao Tingsi has been investigating the traces of Shui Yanluo. He had a broken arm and was seriously injured. He was rescued. All land routes along the way were blocked, and all the islands in the Yanshui River were blocked.
After being searched, the only place to hide was on the water, and it could only be on a boat..."
"Recently, an informant received news that the place where Shui Yanluo is hiding happens to be the... Rouge Boat that Guishui Gate is secretly running."
Gu Changhuai paused and asked Mo Hua: "You should be familiar with Rouge Zhou, right?"
The ink painting pondered for a moment.
Rouge boat...
If he knew it, he knew it, and he might even have seen it with his own eyes.
But he really didn't know the specific inside story.
What's more, in this case, you are facing Daotingsi's Diansi. Even if you are really familiar with him, you definitely can't tell him.
"Not very familiar." Mo Hua said.
Gu Changhuai didn't care whether the ink painting was really unfamiliar or fake, but he wrote:
"The three characters Rouge Zhou have been on Daotingsi's tracing list since decades ago."
Mo Hua was startled.
Gu Changhuai continued: "This is a Fengyue industrial chain that relies on the Yanshui River and has become a climate. Guishui Gate is the mainstay, and there are many sect families behind it as promoters."
"These forces are all grasshoppers on a rope, relying on the wind and moon to make a living, and their mouths are full of oil."
"but……"
Gu Changhuai sighed, "Daotingsi couldn't do anything. The reason why we can continue the investigation this time is because the Xia family is taking the lead behind the scenes, borrowing the power of Daoting..."
Mo Hua suddenly felt enlightened.
He said that it was impossible for Dao Tingsi to know everything about Rouge Zhou, but if he really wanted to investigate, there would be many obstacles.
At least when surrounded by aristocratic families, the power of Honshu Jie Dao Tingsi alone would definitely not be enough.
Coupled with the fact that the people within the Daoting Division are busy with things and intrigues, it is even more difficult to do something.
It’s not easy for Uncle Gu either…
"Where is the rouge boat of Guishuimen hidden?" Mo Hua asked.
"It's not clear yet," Gu Changhuai said. "The Rouge Boat of Guishuimen is mixed with the ships of various sects and aristocratic families, merchant ferries, and spiritual boats. The forces are so mixed that it is impossible to investigate."
"Before, the limelight was tight, and Guishuimen was dormant for a while. However, Daotingsi recently got the latest clues, saying that Guishuimen will find an opportunity to hold another rouge boat party in a few days."
"Open it again?" Mo Hua frowned, "Guishuimen is not afraid of Dao Tingcha?"
Gu Changhuai pondered: "On the surface, Daoting suppressed a group of water bandits and reported their achievements to the superiors. After that, their actions became much smaller and they didn't make any more noise. Guishuimen may have thought that the news had passed, so they were ready to make another move.
Already."
"This has been the case in the past. When the superiors came to investigate, they were just trying to scare the monkeys. Guishuimen probably thought it would be the same this time."
"This is just one of the other points..."
Gu Changhuai sighed: "You are not a member of the family, so you don't quite understand...the ship turned around in a disaster."
"With a large family and many people, the roots are intertwined. Once the interests are deeply rooted, no matter how hard you try to change them, you won't be able to change them anymore."
"In this business, you can earn spiritual stones too quickly."
"Guishui Sect, from top to bottom, relies on this romantic industry to sustain itself, sucking blood. Once it stops and loses its parasitic benefits, the sect will be in chaos in an instant."
"For example, if you drink poison to quench your thirst, you will definitely die one day in the future, but if you don't drink poison, you will die immediately."
"So Guishuimen can only bite the bullet and go on step by step. There is no turning back..."
…
The ink painting was momentarily startled and filled with emotion.
Maybe it's not just Guishui Sect, but the entire cultivation world is like this.
Once you are greedy for benefits and make the wrong first step, you will be attracted by the benefits and make mistakes step by step.
Until the big mistake was made in the end, even though everyone knew it was wrong, their interests were so deeply rooted that they couldn't change it at all.
In the end, everyone could only watch helplessly as the towering building capsized little by little, crushing everyone to death.
If there are monks with conscience in Guishuimen, they probably feel the same way...
Mo Hua sighed.
Then he thought for a moment and asked: "Uncle Gu, do you know when the rouge boat will be opened at Guishui Gate? Do you have any clues?"
"With some..."
"What clue?"
Gu Changhuai did not hide it from Mo Hua, "Three days later, the annual lantern festival in Yanshui City will be held. Monks will gather together. As usual, they will put out river lanterns, take a cruise, and go on a night tour of the Yanshui River. According to the news obtained by Daotingsi, the Guishui Gate will be held at that time
The rouge boat mixed with the cruise ship, and was put into the Yanshui River together, and then changed its route at the established river route, and finally converged at the destination, and started to make a living..."
"That's it...there are quite a lot of tricks..." Mo Hua muttered, and then he immediately realized something was wrong and asked a little strangely: "Uncle Gu, why are you telling me this?"
"You don't want to know?"
"Want to know, but..."
Usually, Uncle Gu always hides things that come up. He only speaks out when he is really pressed. Why is it so unusual today?
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
"...Do you have anything to ask me for?" Mo Hua asked tactfully.
Gu Changhuai sighed.
It is a good thing for children to be smart, but if they are too smart, it is a bit unpleasant.
"It's not a 'beg', it's a commission from Daotingsi." Gu Changhuai insisted.
Mo Hua raised his eyebrows, "Oh...what do you want from me?"
Gu Changhuai stopped correcting his wording and said helplessly: "You have to sneak in too..."
"There are two types of rouge boats, one is for disciples within the sect to play with, and the other is for monks from various families in the cultivation world to have fun."
"In order to avoid any omissions, both types of ships must have insider lines."
"I can sneak in with the monks from the aristocratic family. But I don't have a good spy on the ship of the sect disciples."
Originally, Gu Changhuai wanted to find the Shangguan family, or the children of the Gu family, to board the ship to inquire.
However, these disciples are either sufficiently cultivated but lacking in agility, or they are more than a little nimble but not quite as strong. When it comes to the experience of sneaking in and inquiring about information, it is a world of difference compared to Mo Hua.
And he couldn't believe many of the sect's children, including those of the Shangguan family and the Gu family.
After thinking about it, Gu Changhuai actually felt that ink painting was the most reliable.
"If you sneak in, if you find anything, you can tell me. Anyway, if I don't tell you, you will sneak in sooner or later..." Gu Changhuai said.
Mo Hua nodded, it was true that Uncle Gu understood him quite well.
Yanzhizhou, I must go there.
However, he still had a concern.
To be continued...
