Chapter 824 Water Bandits(2/3)
After that, the fishermen bowed their hands, said nothing, and held the boat away with alert expressions.
Mo Hua sighed, "Uncle Gu, Xia Diansi, you can't find out anything by asking like this. Don't say they don't know, even if they know, they can't possibly tell."
Both of them are Daoting Si Diansi, with their own majesty, and they are also Jindan monks.
Mo Hua is familiar with them, so he might not think anything of it.
But to these ordinary fishing cultivators, Gu Changhuai and Gu Changhuai were both "unfathomable" big shots. When they met on the vast and deserted Yanshui River, these fishing cultivators were inevitably afraid and naturally did not dare to say anything.
Gu Changhuai looked indifferent.
Anyway, this is how he looks and it's impossible to change.
Xia Diansi also frowned slightly.
She was from the Xia family and rarely had contact with these low-level casual cultivators.
Mo Hua sighed: "Let me ask."
After a while, another fishing boat came over.
Mo Hua stood at the bow of the boat and said hello. When the fishing boat approached, he jumped on it and shouted "Hello, brothers" with a smile. Then he took out some spiritual wine and dried meat and gave them to them, saying that he and the others were taking a ride.
We were on a boat trip to visit relatives, but we got lost and didn't know where to go, so I wanted to ask how to get to the waterway.
His eyes are clear, his appearance is handsome, he is neither tall nor overbearing, his temperament is gentle, and he looks friendly, making him easy to like.
What's more, he also gave me spiritual wine and spiritual meat.
These are all good things for fishing cultivators.
For a time, several fishermen on the boat treated Mo Hua with great enthusiasm.
Mo Hua sat with them, drinking and eating meat, chatting in a harmonious atmosphere for a while. When they were leaving, the group of fishermen had already affectionately called Mo Hua "little brother" and invited Mo Hua to visit their home.
.
Mo Hua gave them another bottle of wine and waved goodbye to them.
After returning to his ship, Mo Hua nodded and said:
“I’ve said all hello!”
Xia Diansi and Gu Changhuai were a little startled.
Mo Hua recalled the conversation just now and pointed to the river in front:
"The river here bifurcates, which cannot be seen with the naked eye, but there are four or five waterways divided into these thick aquatic plants, making it easy to hide the traces."
"There are indeed suspicious monks nearby."
"According to these elder brothers, they are a group of murderous water bandits who haunt the waters and kill everyone they see."
"But this group of water bandits only comes out at night, so the nearby fishing cultivators finish catching fish early during the day and go back as soon as the sun goes down."
"Once it gets late, I walk on the waterway at night and encounter these bandits, I'm afraid my fate will be decided here."
Xia Diansi frowned, "When they encounter water bandits, don't they report it to Tingsi?"
Mo Hua said helplessly: "It's useless to apply. This is not a fairy city. There are many fishing cultivators who don't even have a license. Daotingsi doesn't want to take care of it. Even if it wants to take care of it, the river conditions here are complicated and it will be difficult to take action."
Xia Diansi was a little surprised.
Daozhou is almost entirely a fairy city, and monks' cultivation is strictly controlled, so this situation will basically never happen.
She turned her head, silently glanced at Gu Changhuai, and said coldly:
"It can be seen that the Daotingsi in Qianxue Prefecture is overstaffed and unable to do things well."
Gu Changhuai said indifferently: "Don't forget, you are also the Diansi of the Qianxue Prefecture Jie Dao Tingsi."
The two of them looked at each other coldly.
Mo Hua nodded.
good.
The relationship between these two people has improved and they are starting to quarrel.
Afterwards, Gu Changhuai and Xia Diansi criticized each other for a few more words, and then they broke up with each other.
After all, they are Tonji, so there is no way they can't distinguish the importance.
The most urgent task is to find Shuiyanluo.
Xia Diansi looked at the intricate waterway in front of him, pondered for a moment, and said with slightly focused eyes:
"I will go back and mobilize more manpower. Starting from here, I will search the waterways one by one. I will check the entire water area."
Gu Changhuai said: "Don't rush yet. If there are too many people, it will be easy to scare the grass and scare the snake."
Xia Diansi looked at Gu Changhuai with a bad look:
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Gu Changhuai was silent for a moment, his eyes flickered slightly, he raised his chin towards Mo Hua and said:
"Ask this kid."
Xia Diansi was startled and looked confused, "Mo Hua?"
Mo Hua originally wanted to keep a low profile, but looking at the situation now, he is no longer allowed to keep a low profile.
It is important to seize the water Yama.
"Is there still any broken sword left on the water demon just now?" Mo Hua asked.
Gu Changhuai handed a crimson broken knife to Mo Hua.
Mo Hua placed the broken knife on the bow of the boat, then sat down cross-legged and concentrated.
Xia Diansi watched silently from the side, not knowing what Mo Hua was going to do. Just when he felt strange, he suddenly felt that the temperament of Mo Hua suddenly changed, from clear and sunny to deep and strange.
It's like...
From a kind boy, he turned into an unknown monster.
At the same time, a mysterious aura spread out from Mo Hua.
After a while, all the weirdness disappeared, and Mo Hua looked as usual, pointing to a waterway in front of him and said: "To the right in the middle, you can find the owner of the broken knife..."
Xia Diansi looked slightly shocked.
"Have you found the way?"
She looked puzzled and thought for a moment, then suddenly her pupils shrank and she lost her voice:
"Tianjishu?!"
Gu Changhuai was shocked when he heard this and suddenly looked at Mo Hua.
Mo Hua asked doubtfully, "What is Tianji Technique?"
Xia Diansi looked at Mo Hua's clear eyes and was a little surprised, "You don't know what Tianji Technique is?"
Mo Hua nodded.
He actually knows a little bit.
But what he knew was based on mere guesswork and experience.
This is a wild way of doing things, and it is not worthy of refinement.
He had no idea what real, systematic, and academic Tianjishu was.
So it’s not a lie to say that I don’t know what Tianji Technique is.
Xia Diansi frowned, "Then what did you just use...?"
Mo Hua blinked, "I learned it from an old Taoist priest who passed by when I was in my hometown in Lizhou. He wore shabby clothes, but was kind-hearted and had a kind face."
"This is a method of divination and pathfinding. It can perform 'divination' through spiritual induction and ask for the correct path, so as to find people or things lost in the mountains."
The ink painting is very serious.
Xia Diansi himself knew nothing about the art of heavenly secrets. He had only heard some superficial knowledge. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that what Mo Hua said was quite reasonable.
The so-called "divination method" should be some folklore and ultimate heavenly secret method spread among the monks at the bottom.
Occasionally, some small causes and effects can be detected, but compared with the real secret technique, it is still completely different.
As for the old Taoist priest with shabby clothes, kind heart and kind face...
There seems to be no problem.
There are indeed many masters or weird alchemists in the world of cultivation who like to wander around.
It is normal for them to master some bizarre methods.
Xia Diansi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She said, how could someone be able to learn the Heavenly Secret Technique at a mere foundation-building level...
However, Xia Diansi still warned Mo Hua:
To be continued...
