Asking about longevity

After inquiring about the news, Mo Hua returned to the cave of the four masters and apprentices.

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi also came back and told Mo Hua the clues they found.

Bai Zisheng went to noisy places such as markets, teahouses, and restaurants, and most of what he found out about was the bad deeds and scandals of the Lu family.

Bai Zixi went to visit some female monks and monks' family members in Nanyue City, and most of what they asked about were gossips and scandals about the Lu family.

Mo Hua began to compile the information and then listed the suspects.

And guess who among the Lu family is most likely to be the traitor?

However, there are many Lu family members and complicated clan relationships, making it difficult to investigate at the moment.

There are not only elders of the clan, but also guests from outside.

Some elders of the clan are not counted as members of the clan, and some guests from outside may be related to each other...

Mo Hua looked a little dizzy and couldn't help but said:

It's such a mess...

Bai Zisheng nodded and said: Family is like this. The larger the family, the more complicated the blood, relationships, and friendships...

The Lu family is pretty good, but if it's our Bai family, it will be even more complicated.

Even during the holidays, there are a lot of things to pay attention to when visiting and giving gifts.

Mo Hua felt tired after listening and shook his head helplessly.

Bai Zisheng looked at the pile of Lu family connections in front of him and asked:

Do you have a genealogy of the Lu family? If you have a genealogy, you will understand better by looking at it. Otherwise, you can only guess by yourself who is related to whom, who is the father of whom, who is the father of whom... …”

The Lu family tree... this kind of thing should be inaccessible to outsiders...

Mo Hua frowned and was suddenly stunned.

He remembered that the head of the Lu family, Lu Chengyun, seemed to have given him a special genealogy.

This was what Lu Chengyun secretly gave to Mo Hua in order to marry him.

Mo Hua opened the storage bag and rummaged inside for a long time before pulling out this genealogy from a pile of formation books and formation diagrams.

Bai Zisheng was surprised and said, Do you really have one?

Yeah. Mo Hua nodded, It's only part of it, but it can be sorted out.

The ink painting opens the family tree.

The three of them gathered their heads and looked at each other.

As she looked at it, Bai Zixi realized something was wrong. She looked up at the ink painting with doubts in her eyes:

Why are there all little girls in this family tree?

Bai Zisheng also nodded, They all look pretty good...

Mo Hua's face turned slightly red, Lu Chengyun gave it to me, and I didn't know.

Bai Zixi's eyes were a little suspicious, You really don't know?

Yeah. Mo Hua nodded frequently.

Bai Zixi's eyes wandered around Mo Hua's face. When he saw Mo Hua looking at him with a frank look, he nodded slightly and stopped questioning.

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

After that, the three of them began to sort out the relationships between the characters in the Lu family.

This genealogy is relatively simple. It only introduces the blood relationships and closeness of the direct line, side branches, and other women related to the Lu family.

Of course, a portrait of a woman is also included.

At the same time, spiritual roots and talents were also briefly introduced.

These should all be considered family secrets.

If it weren't for his outstanding talent in ink painting formations, he would already be a first-grade formation master at a young age.

It was impossible for Lu Chengyun to give him this genealogy.

This genealogy is not complete, only a part of the Lu family's clan relationship.

But this part was enough for Mo Hua and the others to get a rough idea of ​​the relationship between monks in the Lu family.

Mo Hua finally selected five names:

Lu Huaiyi, Lu Huaisheng, Lu Huaide, Pei Cai and Jiang Long.

The three people with the surname Lu are all married into the family.

And more or less, they all know the formation.

They are also highly regarded in the Lu family and have considerable real power. They have all been in charge of the mines. Even now, they occasionally go to the mines to take charge.

Pei Cai and Jiang Long have foreign surnames.

One is a worshiper, and the other is a guest.

His status in the Lu family is not ordinary.

One married a girl from the Lu family, but it was not considered as a wife.

The other teaches formations in the Lu family.

These five people all look like traitors to the Xiaolingyin Sect.

Mo Hua said: Let's find out these five people first.

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi both nodded.

After that, the three of them either watched, followed, or inquired. After a month of inquiry, there was still no result.

Although Lu Huaiyi, Lu Huaisheng and Lu Huaide were all married into wives, their family backgrounds before their marriages were clear and could be traced.

There wasn't much change before and after them.

That is, before getting married, he was submissive, but after getting married, he was arrogant and domineering.

This change is in line with human nature and is not abnormal.

Pei Cai and Jiang Long.

A person can live a peaceful and peaceful life, only caring about himself and not paying attention to external affairs.

The other taught formations during the day and went to Jinhua Street to have fun at night. He was corrupted by the Lu family's indulgence and indulged in it, and was forced to indulge in it.

None of these people seem to be scheming people.

It doesn't look fishy, ​​and there's no hint of blood or evil.

Mo Hua was a little confused, Did I guess wrong?

In the next few days, there was little progress.

Until this day, Elder Su sent another invitation, inviting Mo Hua to have tea.

Mo Hua thought about it for a while, felt a little moved in his heart, and then agreed.

Elder Su has good relations with the Lu family, and also has a deep friendship with Lu Chengyun.

Before finding out the traitor of the Lu family, it would be better to have less contact with him.

But now that there is no progress, Mo Hua thought, he might as well go have tea with Elder Su and see if there are any clues.

There is an inexplicable intuition in ink painting.

He felt that there was some key information hidden in Elder Su's body.

Mo Hua frowned.

Ever since I learned the calculation of divine consciousness and used the calculation to deduce formations, a hint of omen would occasionally appear in my mind.

There will also be some unspeakable intuition inside.

The intuition is clear.

But when I looked into it carefully, I had no clue...

It's very similar to what Mo Hua felt when he realized the Tao Yun of formation.

It's the kind of feeling that is faintly touched, but separated by mountains and rivers, hazy and impenetrable.

Mo Hua remembers that Mr. Zhuang said that everything in the world is in harmony with the Tao.

If the formations are in line with the Dao, all things are in line with the Dao, and the monks are in line with the Dao, are the actions and deeds of the monks also in line with the Dao?

If this is the case, then by understanding the way of heaven, can we predict the future to a certain extent and seek good fortune and avoid misfortune?

Mo Hua felt that Mr. Zhuang occasionally behaved in unpredictable ways.

It seems to be a kind of prediction of heaven's secret.

But how can this be done?

Have you been studying formations, understanding the principles of formations, and doing calculations to gain a thorough understanding of the great truth?

Have insight into things, predict good and bad times, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages...

If you really learn it, will you become a little magician?

Mo Hua kept thinking in his mind.

Until I arrived at the Su Mansion, I sat down in the pavilion and drank Elder Su's good tea. I was still a little lost in thought.

Elder Su asked after careful consideration: Little sir, are you worried?

Mo Hua came back to his senses and nodded, A little bit, I'm thinking about something.

Elder Su nodded and praised:

Walking, sitting and lying down, having a meal and a cup of tea, he never forgets to meditate and understand the formations... No wonder the young gentleman has such profound attainments in formations at such a young age. It's really admirable...

Mo Hua felt that Elder Su's praise was a bit embarrassing.

And the praise is wrong.

But after all, he was praising himself, and Mo Hua couldn't explain it clearly.

And even if the praise is wrong, it is still praised, and I am still very happy.

Mo Hua then praised back:

Elder Su's formation is also very good! And...

Mo Hua thought for a word and said: ...knows life very well.

Mo Hua still remembers that he lingered in brothels and took Baihua Tower as his home...

Elder Su didn't know what Mo Hua was thinking. He stroked his beard, feeling very happy and kept saying:

Drink tea, drink tea! This tea is a treasure that I have hidden for a long time. I will not take it out to ordinary guests...

The tea is indeed very good.

The two drank for a while. After finishing the tea, they still had some unfinished thoughts.

Elder Su asked his disciple to make another pot.

The disciple who made the tea was the disciple who had been following Elder Su. He had a delicate face and a gentle handsomeness, but he still had the stubbornness of a young man.

I have been doing ink painting a lot, and I am very familiar with him.

But this time, Mo Hua felt that he looked more familiar.

After the disciple made the tea, Elder Su nodded and ordered:

Shui Sheng, go down.

aquatic?

Mo Hua was stunned.

He stared at the disciple again.

This disciple's formation talent is actually average. He is not too respectful to Elder Su, and sometimes he is careless. Why does Elder Su keep him by his side?

Mo Hua looked at it a few more times.

Only then did I realize that the faces of this disciple and Elder Su were somewhat similar, and their spiritual auras seemed to have some connection with each other.

aquatic……

When Shuisheng walked away, Mo Hua was still staring at his back.

Elder Su felt a little frightened when he saw Mo Hua staring at his disciple, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

Little sir, what are you looking at?

I see this is your little apprentice.

Elder Su said with a smile:

A little apprentice, what's so good about...

Mo Hua silently glanced at Elder Su and suddenly asked in a low voice:

This little apprentice can't be your illegitimate son...

Elder Su choked on a sip of tea, coughed a few times, hurriedly covered it up, and smiled humbly: Young sir, I'm just kidding.

Mo Hua whispered:

Narcissus...

Elder Su's hands trembled, he knocked down the cup, and looked at the ink painting in disbelief:

You...how do you know?

Mo Hua's eyes narrowed slightly like a little fox, and that was indeed what he was thinking.
