Asking about longevity

"He is a traitor from Duanjinmen. He stole things from the Xie family. The Xie family sent the mission to the sect. Senior sister Murong, me, and senior brother Feng accepted the mission and came to Bishan City to capture him. Then we sent him to the prison. Entered the prison..."

The ink painting is concise and comprehensive.

"This person can disguise himself. He is covered in flesh and blood. He can twist and deform, and his appearance cannot be seen clearly. Moreover, he has practiced the gold-breaking body technique of breaking the golden gate. His body turns into golden light and he can run very fast..."

Mo Hua added.

Gu Changhuai's eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a deep voice:

"Stealing things from the Xie family..."

"After that, the Xie family was wiped out..."

Mo Hua nodded.

He hadn't thought of this before, but now that he saw the traitor from Jinmen, he felt that there was something very strange about it.

and……

Mo Hua whispered: "How did he get out of the prison? Is it..."

Is there a mole in Daotingsi?

Mo Hua didn't say it clearly, but Gu Changhuai obviously understood the meaning of Mo Hua, and his expression became more solemn.

"I'll have someone check it out."

Gu Changhuai took out Daotingsi's golden waist badge and seemed to be sending some message.

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, "Can Daotingsi's waist badge also be used to pass messages? Then mine..."

"Yours won't work."

"Why?"

"Supernumerary."

Gu Changhuai was also concise and concise.

Mo Hua was helpless, "Okay..."

Who said that non-staff people have no human rights? They do the same thing and get different treatment.

Mo Hua looked at the rouge shop again and asked:

"Uncle Gu, what are we going to do next? Are we going to arrest someone?"

Gu Changhuai took a sip of tea and said calmly:

"No rush, let's take a look first..."

Gu Changhuai was not in a hurry, and Mo Hua was even less anxious.

He was also very curious and wanted to know how Uncle Gu, as the Daoting Si Dian Si, handled cases on weekdays.

How to find clues.

How to arrest people.

Know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

if……

One day in the future, I will be wanted by Daotingsi and hunted by Uncle Gu. How can I escape from him...

Of course, this is just a hypothetical.

I am a good monk who studies the boundaries of the state and abides by the law!

He is a good disciple of Taixu Sect who keeps his integrity!

There won't be such a day.

But this does not prevent you from learning more and gaining more experience.

The world of cultivation is very profound and complex.

It is not only necessary to learn the method of cultivating Taoism, but also to understand the worldly affairs, which is also a kind of knowledge.

So Mo Hua sat down patiently and continued to drink tea, staring at Gu Changhuai and Rouge Shop, observing the movements of the traitor who broke the Golden Gate.

The traitor's behavior was also very strange.

In the rouge shop, people come and go.

Every time he comes in and out, he changes his face and dress, as if he doesn't want to attract other people's attention.

But Mo Hua noticed that every time he walked in, he only had one storage bag with him.

And when he went out, he had three or four storage bags with him.

Mo Hua quietly stared at him with his consciousness and found that he had not gone far, but was just wandering around aimlessly with these storage bags.

Bishan City was built on a steep mountain.

Beside the streets, there are often scattered and unfathomable cliffs and ravines.

He threw these storage bags into these cliffs and ravines while no one was paying attention.

After throwing it away, come back to get it, and then continue to throw it away...

Just like... throwing away "garbage"...

And it seems that his behavior has been going on for quite some time.

Mo Hua knocked on the pine nuts and approached Gu Changhuai, as if chatting about gossip, and asked for advice in a low voice:

"Uncle Gu, is he... selling stolen goods?"

Destroy stolen goods…

Gu Changhuai's eyes narrowed, "It's possible..."

"Then let's... catch him now and get both the man and the stolen goods?"

Gu Changhuai shook his head.

"He has been selling stolen goods for a while. Obviously there are a lot of stolen goods, so we can't rush it..."

"If you catch him hastily, you may alert the enemy."

"If there are any minions, or ears and eyes of the Fire Buddha nearby, once they take action, they will be noticed..."

"We have to wait for an opportunity to catch him quietly without being noticed..."

Mo Hua nodded.

Gu Changhuai wanted to say something else, but suddenly his expression changed, he picked up the waist badge, glanced at it lightly, and then put it back.

Mo Hua had sharp eyes and said:

"Have you found the mole?"

Gu Changhuai glanced at Mo Hua and sighed: "No..."

"No?" Mo Hua frowned, "I entered Taoist prison and was released so quickly. Isn't it because of the inner ghost?"

Gu Changhuai shook his head, "He was released according to the rules."

Mo Hua was a little surprised.

Gu Changhuai said: "I asked someone to turn over the file..."

"This person's name is Jia Ren and he has no criminal record..."

"The Xie family said that the warehouse was stolen, but they did not say what was lost. And no spiritual weapons, elixirs or secret books with the marks of the Xie family's warehouse were found on this person..."

"Theft cannot be punished."

"As for Broken Golden Gate..."

"The Duanjinmen side said that they were mistaken. This person is not a disciple of the Duanjinmen. There was someone else who stole the inheritance of the Duanjinmen and betrayed the Duanjinmen..."

"So, he is not considered a traitor to the Broken Golden Gate."

"The only thing that can be convicted is that he worked as a 'secret prostitute' in a brothel that was illegally set up..."

"but……"

Gu Changhuai's expression was a little subtle, "He is a man again..."

"So, Daotingsi could only imprison him for a month on the charges of 'fraud' and 'indecent behavior', and then released him..."

"There's no way of knowing what's behind this matter, but at least on the surface, there's nothing wrong with it..."

Mo Hua was speechless.

Is this okay?

He looked at the "Jia Ren" who was wearing a lot of skins and looked the same for a while, and he cursed in his heart.

This person has nothing to do with anything but ghosts...

But what followed was more doubts:

First is the Xie family...

Did the Xie family lose anything?

If lost, what was lost?

Did "Jia Ren" steal it?

If it wasn't lost, why did the Xie family lie?

Does this thing have anything to do with the Xie family being exterminated?

On the Duanjinmen side, why did they initially say that "Jia Ren" was a traitor, but then deny it?

What happened here?

The Xie family was wiped out and the Fire Buddha disappeared...

What specifically do these things have to do with Jia Ren?

While Mo Hua was thinking, he suddenly saw a change in Jia Ren's trajectory.

A group of Bishan City Dao Tingsi officers were on routine patrol and passed by this place, which aroused Jia Ren's vigilance.

It was not convenient for him to sell the stolen goods, so he took three storage bags, found a secluded road, and walked towards the uninhabited mountains to the north.

Mo Hua glanced at Gu Changhuai.

As expected, Gu Changhuai's eyes lit up, he put down three spiritual stones on the table, then stood up and left.

Mo Hua calculated in his mind that these three spirit stones also included his tea money, so he nodded with satisfaction, then stood up and left, quietly following Gu Changhuai.

The back mountain to the north of Bishan City is even steeper.

Jia Ren was very alert.

This time he was disguised as a short and stocky monk, carrying a bamboo basket for collecting herbs, walking around and around the mountain road, occasionally stopping to look back at the mountain.

Gu Changhuai and Mo Hua could only follow from a distance.

Fortunately, both of them have very strong consciousness, so it is impossible for Jia Ren to escape.

Mo Hua asked: "Uncle Gu, do you want to take action?"

Gu Changhuai nodded.

"How to catch it?" Mo Hua asked again.

To catch someone alive, they must be quick, accurate, and decisive, without giving "Jia Ren" a chance to react or escape.

Nor would he be given a chance to tip off the news...

Mo Hua was pretty good at arresting people, but he still wanted to hear what Uncle Gu, or Dao Tingsi, would usually do.

If you have a solution yourself, then ask Uncle Gu to "check the answer", so that he can check for omissions and fill in the gaps and strive for excellence.

Gu Changhuai's thoughts were all on Jia Ren and Huo Buddha. Without doubting his presence, he said in a calm voice:

"On the road he must pass, set up traps and formations to ambush..."

"There are shackles on the ground, and the poison is tempered on the shackles..."

"The formation uses a sonic boom to make him temporarily unconscious..."

"Take the opportunity to subdue it..."

"Then I sealed his limbs with spiritual locks..."

"Preparations must be thorough, movements must be fast, and strikes must be ruthless. Don't give him a chance to fight back, and don't give him a chance to commit suicide..."

"This is the basic process of Daotingsi arresting people..."

…

Gu Changhuai was talking here, and Mo Hua was standing aside, nodding his head.

Although he knew some things before, the details were very different, and there were many things he could learn from...

After Gu Changhuai finished speaking, he told Mo Hua:

"Remember, there are three chapters of agreement, don't take action."

"Uh-huh."

Mo Hua agreed.

Gu Changhuai nodded slightly, and then in a flash, he climbed up and down from the rugged rocks and rushed to the front of Jia Ren.

The ink painting followed equally quietly.

But he just hid aside, let go of his consciousness, and watched honestly.

Jia Ren walked forward without knowing anything.

His destination was a cliff ahead.

Gu Changhuai laid out several arrays specially made by Daotingsi in front of the cliff, and buried a few shackles in the ground.

His technique is skillful and his movements are clean and neat.

And the traps are well laid out.

With a humble and studious attitude, Mo Hua also silently kept Dao Tingsi's trap-laying techniques and habits in mind.

When everything was ready, Gu Changhuai was lying in wait.

After a moment, Jia Ren appeared.

He looked around and found nothing unusual, so he walked towards the cliff step by step. At the same time, he took out the storage bag from his body and wanted to throw it down the cliff.

After just a few steps, there was a "thump" under my feet and a sharp pain came from me.

"not good!"

Jia Ren looked down and saw a shackle, like a tiger's mouth, biting his calf.

There is green poison on the shackles.

The venom spread along his blood and throughout his body.

The numbness gradually spreads.

Trap, anesthetic!

Jia Ren's expression changed greatly. He ignored the pain and pulled hard, tearing off a large piece of flesh on his calf. He broke free from the shackles and turned to run away.

But at this moment, the sonic boom arrays in the four corners exploded.

Mo Hua was outside the formation and only heard a slight dull noise.

But while Jia Ren was in the formation, he felt dizzy, his ears were ringing, and his consciousness was sluggish for a while.

The flesh and blood all over his body seemed to be trembling from the sound waves.

But within a moment, the jade pendant on Jia Ren's body broke into pieces, and a clear light flashed, and Jia Ren came back to his senses.

"Daotingsi's sonic boom array?"

Jia Ren's pupils trembled. He stretched out his hand and took out a talisman.

But within a moment, a wind blade struck him, leaving a bloody mark on his arm, and the talisman fell down.

This wind blade technique is fast and sharp.

Jia Ren turned around and saw Gu Changhuai with an indifferent expression.

Sensing Gu Changhuai's aura, Jia Ren looked desperate.

"Golden elixir?!"

Before Jia Ren could do anything else, Gu Changhuai's figure was like the wind, and he was already close to Jia Ren's body. He pinched Jia Ren's shoulder with one hand, and with a surge of spiritual power, he crushed Jia Ren's left arm in an instant.

Jia Ren was so painful that he broke out in cold sweat, his eyes were horrified, then he shook his right hand, pinched a few pills in his sleeve, and took the opportunity to stuff them into his mouth.

Gu Changhuai pointed his hand and a wind blade cut off the tendon of Jia Ren's right hand.

Jia Ren lowered his right hand and several pills fell to the ground.

The elixir is an eerie green color.

Gu Changhuai has rich experience and can tell at a glance that these are poisonous pills that can cause death.

"Want to commit suicide?"

Gu Changhuai's eyes narrowed, and suddenly he felt something was wrong. He looked up and saw that Jia Ren had broken a tooth and wanted to swallow it.

Is there poison in your teeth?

Gu Changhuai's eyes flashed coldly, and he quickly strangled Jia Ren's neck with his right hand, and punched Jia Ren in the abdomen with his left hand.

Jia Ren groaned in pain and spat out the poisonous teeth in his mouth.

He tried to resist and struggled again, but his methods were exhausted, and even the death-seeking tricks had been cracked.

At the same time, the anesthetic on the shackles was already flowing throughout the body with the blood.

Jia Ren felt something bad in his eyes, but his consciousness gradually became dim. He closed his eyes and fainted.

Gu Changhuai took out the chains and locked all Jia Ren's limbs, then removed his teeth, picked him up and threw him behind a hidden rock.

At this point, Jia Ren was captured.

Mo Hua looked a little dazed.

This Uncle Gu seems to be a little different from what I thought.

He obviously looked very conceited, as if he didn't take others seriously.

But he acts very meticulously.

Even with the identity of Jin Dan Dian Si, when arresting a foundation-building monk, he must be extremely careful and careful, with careful planning and no room for any surprises.

Don't give the other side any chance to escape.

Not even a chance to commit suicide!

Mo Hua feels that he has benefited a lot.

Throughout the whole process, Mo Hua listened to Gu Changhuai's words honestly and did not intervene rashly.

By this time Jia Ren had been subdued.

Mo Hua came out of his hiding place and ran to Gu Changhuai. He looked at the unconscious Jia Ren and said with some surprise:

"This Jia Ren actually wants to commit suicide?"

He has never encountered such a criminal cultivator who immediately seeks death as soon as he is caught and feels that there is no chance of improvement.

Gu Changhuai frowned and said in a deep voice:

"I was just taking precautions, so I did everything I needed to do, but I didn't expect that this Jia Ren would actually rather die than fall into my hands..."

"This shows..."

Gu Changhuai's eyes narrowed slightly.

Mo Hua said: "...This person knows a lot, and he has a lot of secrets!"

Maybe he is really related to the Xie family's murder case, and it is also very possible that he really has clues about the Fire Buddha.

Even know more things...

"Are we going to be interrogated now?" Mo Hua asked.

"want."

Gu Changhuai nodded.

But before that, a routine search of the storage bag is necessary.

Gu Changhuai opened all the four or five storage bags on Jia Ren's body that were originally meant to be discarded.

The smell of blood came from the pavement.

Sure enough, it was full of "stolen items."

Some of them are spiritual weapons, or ghost-headed knives, or bone-eviscerating swords, or some disembowelled bladed halberds, all of which are stained with blood without exception.

When Mo Hua saw the blood, he felt a buzz in his head and his eyes turned red.

In a sea of ​​fire, the Xie family monks died tragically and wailed, and the ferocious figure came to mind again.

"This is... the blood of Xie family monks." Mo Hua said in a condensed voice.

Gu Changhuai was startled, "How do you know?"

Mo Hua said: "I can tell..."

Gu Changhuai was helpless, "That's all, pretend I didn't ask..."

In addition to these bloody murder weapons, there are also some "clean" spiritual weapons.

There was no blood on it, and it didn't seem to be stained with murder.

It's just an ordinary spiritual weapon, and it's not for killing.

Lighting, ventilation, fire protection, dust removal, incense and concentration... everything is available.

They are some commonly used spiritual weapons in the life of monks.

Both Mo Hua and Mo Hua were a little surprised.

"Are these things from the Xie family?"

"They killed the Xie family and robbed the Xie family's belongings?"

However, if you didn’t keep it for yourself after you robbed it, why should you throw it away now?

Isn't that a waste of money?

It is impossible to kill people and buy goods on a whim.

I calmed down afterwards and regretted it. I was afraid that Dao Tingsi would find out and throw away the stolen goods and destroy the evidence...

Fire Buddha and his gang of sin cultivators, who kill people like hemp, don't look like this kind of people either...

Gu Changhuai's eyes were cautious and he frowned in thought.

Mo Hua thought of something and his eyes lit up, "Could they...be looking for something?"

Gu Changhuai looked at the ink painting, "Looking for something?"

"Yeah." Mo Hua considered it, "They wiped out the whole Xie family because they wanted to find something from the Xie family..."

"This Jia Ren, when he first went to Xie's house, he also wanted to steal this thing..."

"But he didn't steal it..."

"And this thing is very important, they must get it."

"Then the Fire Buddha wiped out the Xie family."

"They collected all the belongings of the Xie family and took them out to search carefully. Then they burned the Xie family to the ground and wiped out all traces..."

"As for these things to be thrown away..."

"It's because they looked for it but couldn't find it, so they had to throw away the extra stuff..."

"And these, after killing people and annihilating the family, the spiritual weapons with the blood of the Xie family monks must also be thrown away..."

"Lest you leave evidence of crime and be caught by Daotingsi..."

"Or maybe, leaving behind the cause and effect, someone will figure it out..."

If these "stolen items" were to be forcibly destroyed in a refining furnace, the noise would be too great and it would take too long.

It is better to take advantage of the topography of Bishan City and abandon these "stolen items" on the cliffs and deep ravines, quietly and without anyone knowing.

Even if someone discovered it later, it would be who knows how many years later.

Gu Changhuai was a little surprised.

This kid's little head spins really fast, and he seems to be able to make sense.

He thought for a while and nodded: "It is possible, but it is only a possibility. Don't be preconceived."

"Before the truth is unknown, it is easy to go astray if you consider the problem first..."

Gu Changhuai reminded.

"Um."

Mo Hua nodded.

Having said that, Mo Hua still felt that his guess was somewhat possible.

At least, that's a way of thinking.

Gu Changhuai flipped through Jia Ren's storage bag again.

Jia Ren’s storage bag is very ordinary.

Like ordinary monks, there are spiritual stones, elixirs, spiritual weapons, and some jade slips of secret books.

But when I looked at the ink painting, there was nothing special about it.

There are no signs of sealing, encryption, or erasure on the jade slips.

Obviously this Jia Ren was very cautious and didn't bring anything important with him.

Mo Hua looked at everything again.

There is evidence for these things, but few clues.

It can only be proved that Jia Ren was related to the Xie family's murder case, and it was very likely that he helped to check out the situation beforehand and helped sell the stolen goods afterwards. This kind of relationship was deeply involved from beginning to end.

But other than that, there are no other clues.

Especially the Fire Buddha clue.

In this case, we can only interrogate Jia Ren.

Gu Changhuai took out a pill and fed it to Jia Ren. Within a moment of burning the incense, Jia Ren frowned and woke up.

He slowly opened his eyes.

What came into view was Gu Changhuai's handsome but "hateful" face.

Gu Changhuai said coldly: "Are you from Fire Buddha?"

Jia Renwu sneered to himself, looking like he was waiting for death, but said nothing.

Gu Changhuai asked one sentence after another:

"Where is the Fire Buddha?"

"Why do you want to destroy the Xie family?"

"What is your relationship with Fire Buddha?"

But Jia Ren was like a walking corpse, without any reaction, as if he didn't care about life or death.

Gu Changhuai frowned and lost his patience.

In this case, he could not do anything but punish him.

Gu Changhuai took out a second-grade "branding iron" torture tool, with a fire array engraved on it. It burned red and burned his body, causing the skin to become charred and the flesh torn.

But the iron was applied to Jia Ren's body, which made Jia Ren feel pain and his face twitched, but he still didn't say a word.

The ink paintings on the side are a bit unbearable.

"Uncle Gu, yours doesn't seem to work well..."

Mo Hua silently took out his "iron plate" and said, "Why don't you try it with mine?"

Gu Changhuai was stunned when he looked at the blood-stained iron plate.

Jia Ren on the other side heard this clear voice and realized that there was someone else here.

But why is this voice so familiar?

And he looks very similar to that kid who he wants to cut into pieces...

Jia Ren glanced sideways with difficulty.

A small fair face with picturesque features.

Jia Ren, who looked like a walking corpse, instantly "pretended to be a corpse" and said with his eyes about to split:

"It's you?!"
