Hidden moth

Chapter 279: Unwilling to Work Hard for Three Meals

There is more than one smart person in the world. For example, Lan Jiuwan once guessed that Huo Qing's identity was Yin E.

"Huo Qing" behaved very mysteriously in Sawa Country, coming and going without leaving any trace. Several of Zhong Jinghui's accomplices had hidden themselves, but they were all found by him in a short time. He also figured out the surrounding arrangements without alarming anyone.

After the Spring Festival, Chang Anju went to Fengwei Township, met many people and learned a lot of things. Of course, he also heard about the deeds and legends of the hidden moth.

Huo Qing claimed that he was passing through Sawa on a secret mission for the Patriarchal Hall. Elder Li was vague about this and did not reveal his identity. Instead, he told Chang Anju about it, which made Chang Anju suspect something.

He Kao didn't care whether Chang Anju's guess was right or not, and directly solved the mystery.

Although he had guessed this possibility a long time ago, Chang Anju was still surprised when it was confirmed: "You really are the Hidden Moth! I can actually be connected with a legendary figure like you..."

Judging from his tone, although there was surprise, it was more of a surprise?
He Kao smiled bitterly and said, "Knowing me may not be a good thing. Many people are looking for me, and some even have ulterior motives and are always trying to take advantage of me."

Chang Anju: "Please rest assured, I will not reveal your identity to anyone, nor will I disclose anything you have confessed."

He Kao: "Actually, as long as you keep it a secret, you can just pretend I wasn't here today. Now that you've returned to the sect, inherited the Dharma, and have such a large family business, there's nothing wrong with just being your Dean Chang."

Chang Anju looked down at the teacup in his hand. "If that were the case, I would have handed over the information I collected to the public security authorities to gain peace of mind. Why would I abandon my family and career to go overseas to hunt down criminals?"

He Kao: "Some things are done voluntarily. I don't force it and I can't force it."

Chang Anju raised his head and said, "Actually, I've been looking forward to your coming. When Uncle Li asked me, I had already made the decision."

He Kao: "Then I will formally ask you - are you willing to join the Yin E Sect?"

Chang Anju stood up and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Sect Master!"

He Kao smiled and helped him up: "I joined the sect earlier, so from now on you can just call me the headmaster senior brother..."

The conversation between the two just now was a bit like speaking in jargon. Outsiders might not be able to understand it, let alone why Chang Anju was about to join the Yin'e Sect?
In fact, Chang Anju joined the Yin'e Sect on the recommendation of Elder Li, who deliberately left this person to He Kao, just like when Gu Chun discovered Lan Jiuwan, he also left him to He Kao for disposal.

Compared to Lan Jiuwan, Chang Anju's situation was much simpler. Elder Li clearly believed that he was more suitable to become a disciple of the Yin E Sect. However, this was a two-way process, requiring both Chang Anju's willingness and He Kao's approval.

Elder Li also visited him personally to understand his thoughts.

How could a person who had been exposed to a mysterious world unknown to ordinary people since childhood be content with being just a bone doctor day after day? Moreover, as an ordinary person, he had almost reached the limit of his career in this field.

An ordinary life might be nice, but he wasn't content with mediocrity. Dean Chang, who seemed highly respected, actually yearned deep down for a pleasant and exciting world of cultivation, and he wasn't afraid of taking risks...

He Kao asked Chang Anju why he chose this path, and Chang Anju's answer came from the heart. Meeting He Kao and being fortunate enough to receive his acceptance and guidance was an instant hit.

Perhaps in his childhood dream, he has always been waiting for such a master to give him the opportunity to make such a choice.

In fact, Chang Anju is already a formal disciple of the Shumen and a third-level performer of the Xingshenmen. In a sense, his "performance" is very successful - he is the director of the Chang's Orthopedic Hospital and the inheritor of intangible cultural heritage.

But his background is still that of a classic assassin, knight-errant, and a hermit with special skills.

This is the life he longs for, instead of sitting in the hospital honestly every day and taking time to continue practicing the magic of Xingshen step by step.

Chang Anju, a Xingshen Sect sorcerer who looked like a Guanshen Sect disciple, had now joined the Yin'e Sect. His Xingshen Sect disciple status had become a cover, just as Lan Jiuwan and Ye Liangcheng also had Xinpan Sect disciples' status.

Ju Jiang Daozhen's "archaeological" research concluded that most of the disciples of the Yin'e Sect a thousand years ago had other identities to conceal.

He Kao gave Chang Anju two tubes of awakening incense and told him how to use them when practicing. Whether it is the Hidden E Technique or the Awakening Divine Technique, the requirements for the cultivation of the soul are very high, and the awakening incense is a very suitable auxiliary resource.

He Kao has always been generous in making the best use of things. He gave away six of the ten tubes of awakening incense given to him by Elder Li in no time.

Chang Anju has just broken through to the third level of cultivation, but He Kao did not wait for him to break through to the higher level. Instead, he taught him the basic techniques of the Hidden Moth Technique in advance, as well as various applied techniques of the Hidden Moth Sect, especially the stealth technique.

He Kao didn't know the Divine Mind Seal, so a detailed explanation and demonstration were needed. One night wasn't enough. Fortunately, President E had gone to the group headquarters to study, and He Kao had nothing to do every night besides practicing, so he decided to come more often.

He Kao left Chang Anju his contact information, so he could contact him if he had any questions. Chang Anju then asked if there were any sect missions recently.
He Kao thought about it and gave him a task, and Chang Anju gladly accepted the order and seemed quite excited.

He Kao's task for Chang Anju was to investigate another individual. This individual was Shao Yongjie, a second-level acupuncturist from the Guanshen Sect. Coincidentally, he was a fellow practitioner of Chang Anju's profession, also a bone-setting and massage therapist. Shao Yongjie wasn't as renowned as "Kung Fu Chang," but his skills were certainly not much inferior. Furthermore, he didn't rely on this small business for a living; he had other means of earning a living.

He Kao wanted to investigate whether this person was related to Lin Qingshuang.

Although Lin Qingshuang has not liked to care about the various affairs of the Shumen for many years, she is not a marginal figure.

The Qihuang Lingyuan she runs has many collaborations with the Zongfatang, especially the Guanshenmen, in the cultivation of various spiritual medicines, the arrangement of formations, and the transformation of the earth's energy environment.

Every year, masters of magic bring their disciples to "internship" in groups, learning how to identify and cultivate various spiritual medicines, as well as how to arrange formations to gather spirits and create different environments.

On the other hand, they would also help take care of the various medicinal gardens in the mountains. In return, Lin Qingshuang allowed the clan hall to regularly collect the spiritual herbs it needed.

In secular terms, Lin Qingshuang is a single wealthy woman with no children.

Over the years, it's not that no one has had any intentions towards her. For example, some people want to become her apprentice and inherit her so-called legacy, and some shameless people even try to pursue her.

Although Lin Qingshuang is in her sixties, she has made great progress in her cultivation and has mastered the art of maintaining her youthful appearance. She looks like she is in her forties and is not bad looking. After breaking through the fourth level, she seems to have become even younger.

But she has a cold personality and is difficult to approach, and with Elder Ye behind her, no one dares to use any other means, so those who have wanted to take advantage of her have never succeeded over the years.

Last year, Lin Qingshuang suddenly changed her personality and publicly accepted two disciples and invited fellow Taoists to watch the ceremony. As a result, some people became active again and looked for various opportunities to get close to Lin Qingshuang.

Last weekend, He Kao went to Qihuang Lingyuan with Huang Xiaopang. While strolling in the Chinese medicinal fields in the mountains, he chose to sit for a while by the pond where he had talked with Gu Chun last time, and inadvertently overheard a conversation.

At that time, a group of disciples from the Guanshen Sect happened to come to the Qihuang Lingyuan for "internship". Lin Qingshuang also took them on a tour and gave them an introduction. One of the disciples was Shao Yongjie.

Shao Yongjie took advantage of the opportunity and told Lin Qingshuang a rumor he had heard under the pretext of asking for advice in private: a "big shot" in the sect had recently quietly come out of seclusion and secretly went to Qiyuan, mingling in the city, and no one knew what he was looking for.

Lin Qingshuang's disciple Huang Si usually works in Qiyuan. Shao Yongjie mentioned this matter in a friendly and caring tone, and also asked Senior Lin if he knew any inside story?
From what he said, it seemed that he didn't know the whole story. He didn't even mention Mei Guyu's name, let alone the gag order from the clan hall. Instead, he hinted that this might be related to Yin Mo?
Perhaps these were the only rumors Shao Yongjie had heard, or perhaps it was just his rhetoric. But in his opinion, Lin Qingshuang had a source of information in the clan law hall, and all he had to do was ask Ye Fenghuang.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qingshuang ignored his "goodwill" and instead reprimanded him with a stern face: If there really is an elder traveling incognito, as a younger disciple, you should not spread the news and disobey his advice without authorization.

If someone is found to have violated the rules, they should report it to the clan law hall, but they should not spread baseless rumors like this. For example, the geomancer monitors the behavior of sorcerers all over the world and has visited the Qihuang Lingyuan. Does that mean they can spy on and reveal their whereabouts without authorization?

Lin Qingshuang was a traditional, old-school sorcerer who knew a lot about things. He knew not to ask questions he shouldn't ask, and not to say things he shouldn't say. Shao Yongjie tried to get close to him but ended up getting himself into trouble. He could only say sheepishly that Senior Lin was right.

Shao Yongjie did not use his spiritual sense to collect the sound when he spoke, nor could he do so with his cultivation level. There was no one nearby at the time and his voice was not loud, so he thought no one else could hear him, but he obviously underestimated He Kao's cultivation level.

He Kao was not very close at the time, and there was a small hill between them, but he still heard it.

The so-called secret is something that cannot be disclosed unless all those who know about it keep it secret, or if no one believes in or is interested in the matter itself. Otherwise, if one person leaks it and someone else deliberately spreads it, all kinds of rumors, true or false, will spread.

Even people like Shao Yongjie had heard nonsense rumors. When you think about the extra thousand or so people in Sesame Apartment, it has reached a level that the clan hall cannot investigate in a short period of time. They can only conduct a random survey to trace the source.

Now it seems that the source of the leak has been found, that is, the deacon of Danding Sect, Xiongrui. This was discovered by He Kao with the help of Elder Li using the magical power of entering dreams, but the whereabouts of the most important witness, Liu Haixiu, are unknown.

After hearing this conversation, He Kao pondered the matter more and more. Shao Yongjie might have ulterior motives, or he might be being used by someone, perhaps to set a trap for Lin Qingshuang.

If Lin Qingshuang really fell into the trap and went to inquire about this matter, then in the eyes of outsiders, she would become a spy and a leaker. Maybe even Elder Ye would be suspected, and then the water would be completely muddied.

Although Lin Qingshuang did not fall into the trap, He Kao still did not want to let go of Shao Yongjie. As to whether he was being too suspicious, he had to investigate it to find out.

Since Elder Li was short on manpower, He Kao used his own personnel to minimize leaks. Lin Qingshuang had helped him a lot, and he also wanted to take the initiative to do something for Senior Lin.

Chang Anju's ability has been tested in practice and will only be stronger now than before.

He Kao repeatedly told Chang Anju to just monitor secretly, find out if there was anything suspicious about Shao Yongjie, especially with regard to which suspicious people he was in contact with, and then collect relevant information. He must not alert the enemy, and the key was to protect himself.

This was also the first collective action of the Yin'e Sect, which was still in its infancy. Ye Liangcheng stayed at home, Lan Jiuwan and Chang Anju went out on missions, and He Kao continued to stay in the eye of the storm at the center of the vortex to take charge of the overall situation.

After giving Chang Anju the task, He Kao placed the Yin Mo Sha in the abandoned park, and flew high in the sky as if his soul was traveling, watching Lan Jiuwan, who had received the notice, take it away.
