Asking about longevity

Situ Fang was surprised when he saw Mo Hua.

She exchanged a few words with the arguing monks and managed to escape. She took Mo Hua and the others to a secluded teahouse on the roadside and ordered several cups of green tea, plates of dried fruits and snacks.

Mo Hua couldn't help but wonder:

"Sister Situ, are you Dian Si from Nanyue City?"

Situ Fang is a Diansi, so it is not surprising that he is painted in ink.

She is wearing the robe of a Diansi, and her cultivation is not weak. She is from a family, and it is normal for her to serve as a Diansi in the local Daotingsi.

What Mo Hua is confused about is, why is it the Diansi from Nanyue City?

Nanyue City is quite far away from Tongxian City. If she was the Diansi of Nanyue City, why did she go all the way to Tongxian City to catch the evil cultivator?

Situ Fang sighed: "Family training requires rotation everywhere."

"Oh." Mo Hua understood.

The Situ family seems to have a good family tradition, and they know how to send their disciples to serve in various places to hone their abilities.

And it seems that this kind of experience is quite hard.

Even Zhang Lan, who was idle, was too busy to keep his feet off the ground when things happened one after another, including a black village and a big demon.

"What about you?" Situ Fang also asked, "Why are you here?"

Then she looked to the left and right, "Did Zhang Lan come with you?"

Mo Hua shook his head and said with a smile:

"Uncle Zhang didn't come. I was traveling with my master. I passed by here and wanted to visit an elder. I happened to meet you."

"Master, Yunyou?"

Situ Fang was slightly startled.

She remembered that Zhang Lan mentioned that the ink painting formation was good and that there was an enigmatic gentleman.

She glanced at Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi again.

The two of them have extraordinary looks and refined temperaments, and they look like disciples of an expert at first glance.

Especially Bai Zixi, she couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and said with some surprise:

"This is your little senior sister, she's so pretty..."

"Yeah!" Mo Hua nodded, but said silently in his heart:

"You haven't seen her pretty yet..."

Bai Zixi also smiled lightly and said: "Sister is also very good-looking..."

She looks good, has a nice voice, and talks nice.

Situ Fang smiled from ear to ear.

After a moment she asked again:

"Where's Zhang Lan? Is he still in Tongxian City?"

“It’s probably time to go back to the family.

"He built the foundation."

"Um."

Situ Fang nodded and suddenly asked:

"I heard that your Tongxian City killed a big demon. Is it true?"

Mo Hua nodded quickly: "Yes!"

"I drew the great formation, and in the end it was me who used the great formation to disintegrate and send the pig to heaven!"

Of course, Mo Hua didn't say this out loud, he just said it in his heart.

Situ Fang clicked his tongue in surprise, "Seriously...it's incredible."

This kind of deeds of monks building a large array and slaying a big demon is extremely rare even in the history of Daoting.

She didn't ask anything more specific.

This kind of important matter, which is related to the survival of the monks in the city, should have nothing to do with Mo Hua, a teenage monk.

Even if you ask him, he may not know.

Mo Hua took a sip of tea and pursed his lips. It felt bitter, a little astringent, but also a little sweet.

Although it tastes bad, it tastes good at the same time. It feels weird.

He tasted all the dried fruits and snacks again, his eyes brightening.

tasty.

He tasted a few more bites and silently speculated on how to make dried fruits and snacks, wondering if he could make them too.

Dried fruits are given to Mr. Puppet, and snacks are given to the little senior sister.

While Mo Hua was eating, drinking, and thinking, he suddenly remembered something and asked Situ Fang:

"Sister Situ, you were arguing with someone just now. What happened?"

Situ Fang's original leisurely mood disappeared in an instant, and she said helplessly:

"good."

"Can you tell me something?"

Mo Hua blinked, his eyes bright.

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi on the side also looked at Situ Fang, obviously curious.

Situ Fang thought for a while and sighed:

"It doesn't hurt to tell you..."

"I moved to Nanyue City as a clerk in the Daoting Division half a year ago."

"Here in Nanyue City, families occupy the mines, and most of the casual cultivators make a living by mining, which is commonly known as 'mining cultivators'."

“Mining repairs require entering the mine and digging holes for mining, which is quite laborious and dangerous.

"Inside the mine, there is not only the old filthy air, but also some evil and sneaky things, as well as pangolin-type monsters."

"The evil and filthy air invades the body, which can range from serious injuries to death."

"The monsters in the cave also eat people."

"In addition, if the mine is not dug well and the formation is crudely drawn, it can easily cause the mine to collapse."

"Once the mine collapses and the rocks collapse, the monks in the Qi refining stage will not be able to come out alive."

"So in Nanyue City, many monks die in the mines every year..."

"Did the few monks just now argue with you, sister, because their relatives died in the mine?" Mo Hua asked.

Situ Fang nodded, "Yes, but I don't know whether he is alive or dead. He is just missing."

Then she sighed again, "According to past experience, if you disappear in the mine, you will most likely be dead."

Mo Hua asked doubtfully: "Then what does this matter have to do with you?"

Situ Fang said helplessly: "Their family members were missing, so they went to the Daoting Bureau to report the case in tears. The Daoting Bureau accepted the case, but they were not very willing to take care of it."

"I saw that they were poor and their relatives were missing, and I was crying all day long. I couldn't bear it, so I took the initiative to take over the matter."

"The result was unexpected..."

Mo Hua suddenly said: "I'm going to be in trouble..."

Situ Fang smiled bitterly, "It would be okay if the trouble was just from Daotingsi. But these sufferers are also a big trouble."

"I helped them, and they were very grateful to me at first."

"Gradually, they began to complain, blaming Daotingsi for not doing things well and why it took so long to find someone."

"The lion is open to talk about compensation."

"The boss thinks I'm nosy."

"I was caught on both sides, left and right, in a state of embarrassment..."

Situ Fang's face showed deep helplessness.

Mo Hua nodded, "Sheng Mi's favor and fight against Mi's hatred, that's how it goes."

"If you don't help them, they will beg you to help them. If you do help them, they will blame you because you don't help them enough."

Situ Fang glanced at Mo Hua in surprise, "Then what should I do?"

Mo Hua thought for a moment and said:

"If you really want to help, you have to have a business-like attitude from the beginning."

"Be impartial, so they will ask for your help, and they will naturally treat you well."

"Otherwise, it will be troublesome."

"If you get close to them and act like you care about them, they will subconsciously think that no matter what happens, you will favor them..."

"So I feel that your kindness is deserved, and I will go further and make various demands on you. I will even deceive you and treat you as a fool..."

Situ Fang was surprised: "How do you know these things?"

Mo Hua scratched his head, "Uncle Zhang Lan told me..."

Situ Fang was startled, "Why did he tell you this?"

Mo Hua recalled the past and said crisply:

"We drank together. Of course, he mainly drank, I ate meat, and drank some fruit juice by the way... When he drank too much, he talked too much, and he told me everything."

"In the past, he used to do things with good intentions, but he also acted like a human being inside and outside..."

Situ Fang looked quite surprised when he heard this.

She is quite familiar with Zhang Lan.

Zhang Lan looks lazy on the surface, but in fact he has a clear mind and a somewhat aloof temperament. He doesn't have many friends and has some discord with his family.

But I didn't expect that he and Mo Hua had such a good relationship that they would talk about everything...

Situ Fang thought for a moment and nodded.

Mo Hua is right.

I was just soft-hearted, and ended up in a mess. Now things have not progressed, but are stuck in the quagmire, and I am complained about every day.

Thinking of this, Situ Fang sighed deeply again.

"Sister Situ, how did these mine repairmen disappear?"

Situ Fang shook his head, "It hasn't been found out yet. There are no clues in the mine. The family members of these mine repairmen are also messing around. They just make trouble and want an explanation and pay more spiritual stones. When asked about the specific case, they just He was vague and talked about how hard he worked..."

Mo Hua's eyes narrowed slightly, "I'm afraid there's something wrong here."

Situ Fang nodded, "I also feel something is wrong, but I couldn't find any clues for a while. Now I am still being troubled by the family members of these mine repairmen every day. I am a little worried and don't know what to do..."

Mo Hua secretly said: "How about you lock them in?"

Situ Fang was stunned, "Where are you locked up?"

"Tao Prison..."

Situ Fang was silent.

Even Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi looked at Mo Hua silently as if they were looking at bad people.

"This isn't appropriate..." Situ Fang said tactfully.

"It's just to scare them..."

Mo Hua said, "They are relying on your good intentions, so they have taken advantage of you. If this continues, you will not be able to find anyone or solve the case, and you will be in a dilemma."

"This is not good for everyone..."

"And they must be hiding something."

"Lock them for a few days. Once they calm down and know how to be afraid, they will know what's appropriate. If you ask them something again, they will tell you the truth."

Mo Hua paused for a moment, then recalled what Zhang Lan had said, nodded and said:

"Be kind to people who are sensible, but you need to establish authority over those who are ignorant, otherwise they will be bullied."

"Just being a good person will not solve the problem."

Situ Fang thought for a long time and then said helplessly: "I'll give it a try."

Situ Fang exchanged a few more pleasantries, saying something like coming to her if there was any trouble, then paid the bill and left.

After Situ Fang left, Mo Hua took a sip of tea and suddenly found Bai Zisheng looking at him with bright eyes.

Mo Hua was startled, "What's wrong?"

Bai Zisheng said: "The Daoting Division is handling the case, let's go too."

Mo Hua curled his lips, "What are you going to do?"

Bai Zisheng hesitated for a moment, it was hard to tell, he just wanted to join in the fun.

He thought for a moment and then said: "Aren't you curious? Why is the mine repairman missing? Is he alive or dead?"

"If you are alive and trapped somewhere, can you be rescued?"

"If he died, how did he die? Could he have been killed by other monks, and why..."

Bai Zisheng chirped.

When Mo Hua heard this, he who was not very curious at first couldn't help but become a little curious...

Mo Hua frowned again.

And he vaguely felt that this matter was a bit strange, and seemed to involve complicated cause and effect.

Why he thought so, he couldn't explain clearly.

But since I learned the calculation of spiritual consciousness, this kind of omen occasionally appears in my heart.

It seems that the calculation of divine consciousness can perceive the cause and effect of some things.

"Could it be that Master taught me calculations along the way so that I could predict cause and effect and seek good fortune and avoid misfortune?"

Mo Hua said with some doubts in his heart.
