Asking about longevity

Yuer... is the Karma Dragon of the Great Wilderness? !

Mo Hua's eyes narrowed slightly.

But how is this possible?

Isn't he the child of the Shangguan and Wenren families? How could he have the blood of the Karma Dragon of the Great Wilderness?

But the resonance of the dragon soul should not be wrong.

In Mo Hua's soul, there is an ancient dragon roar, trembling softly.

This is the ancient dragon soul from the Great Wilderness Dragon King that he swallowed before and has not completely digested.

Now this dragon soul has a certain resonance with Yuer, so Mo Hua can see the traces of Karma Dragon's blood on Yuer's face.

Moreover, this Karma Dragon's shadow is blood red.

In the blood shadow, there is a strong omen, wandering on the edge of life and death, foreshadowing the ups and downs and pain of the dragon shadow owner's life.

Mo Hua frowned.

"Brother Mo?" The innocent Yu'er saw Mo Hua's serious expression and asked with concern, "What happened?"

Mo Hua gradually calmed down, touched Yu'er's head, and said softly, "It's okay... It's okay..."

Yu'er seemed to like Mo Hua touching his little head very much, with a smile on his face, looking carefree.

But on his innocent face, the red dragon shadow, with a bloody body, roared at Mo Hua fiercely, and then melted into Yu'er's forehead.

Mo Hua's eyes were slightly cold.

...

Then it was the Gu family's annual banquet.

This year's annual banquet was also grand.

But compared with previous years, it was still a little quieter.

Because of the Gushan incident, the Gu family and the Shen family had a grudge.

The root of this grudge was Taixu Sect, and the involvement with the Gu family was not big or small.

But the Shen family has a high status and is in charge of the Qiandao Sect. Many families who practice Taoism have to look at the Shen family's face if they want to send disciples to the Qiandao Sect.

They dare not offend the Shen family, but they will not offend the Gu family.

Therefore, many families only sent gifts to the Gu family's annual banquet and did not dare to visit in person.

The noble families pay attention to interests, and this kind of thing is normal.

Everyone has a fence-sitter, as long as they don't tear each other apart, they can still meet in the future.

Although the Gu family is a clean family, they are not ignorant of the world and don't care much.

Mo Hua doesn't care even more.

He only cares about whether he can eat well and whether he can eat enough.

He doesn't care about the social interaction and interpersonal exchanges of the noble families. These have nothing to do with him.

In this way, in the lively and auspicious atmosphere, Mo Hua had a New Year's Eve dinner. After the meal, he walked around the courtyard as usual, greeted a group of elders, received a bunch of New Year's gifts, and then discussed Uncle Gu's life with Elder Gu Hong. After that, he was going back to the sect.

Wen Renwan brought Yu'er to see him off.

"Here are some cakes, fruit wine, and some spiritual meat and spiritual food, all of which you like. The sect's food is average, and you study the formation very hard, so eat more good food to replenish your body."

Wen Renwan's voice was gentle and considerate.

Mo Hua smiled and thanked: "Thank you, Aunt Wan."

Yu'er waved at Mo Hua reluctantly.

He will go back to Shangguan's house with his mother to worship their ancestors tomorrow, and can only return to Taixu Sect after the New Year.

He won't see Mo Hua for more than ten days.

Mo Hua took out the small gifts he prepared for Yu'er.

Some of these gifts were small toys he made by hand using the formation.

In this way, even if Yu'er returns to Shangguan's house, she will have new toys to play with every day.

The other part is the formation homework he arranged for Yu'er.

As long as she does her homework, Yu'er will have no other thoughts to be sad.

Yu'er was happy and frowned at the same time, and her mood was very complicated.

After a few more pleasantries, Mo Hua was about to leave when suddenly there was a noise in the distance. A line of elegant motorcade came over and stopped at the door of Gu's house.

A group of monks got off the car.

The leader was wearing a gorgeous robe, with a strong aura, half white hair and beard, and deep nasolabial folds.

He came over, as if with a gust of cold wind.

The originally warm atmosphere was broken in an instant.

Wen Renwan's expression changed slightly, and Yu'er was a little scared. She couldn't help but clutch Wen Renwan's sleeve.

Seeing the approaching person, Wen Renwan had to say hello, and could only do a half-salute, "Look, Elder."

Mo Hua also recognized him.

This old man with half white hair and beard is called Shangguan Wang. He is the powerful elder of the Shangguan family and has the cultivation level of Yuhua.

It is said that Shangguan Wang lost the battle for the position of the head of the Shangguan family, so he had some grudges against Shangguan Ce, Shangguan Yi, and even Yu'er's lineage, and acted against them everywhere.

Mo Hua didn't like him either, so he didn't say hello.

Shangguan Wang silently glanced at Mo Hua, with a trace of undisguised displeasure in his eyes, and at the same time a trace of fear.

During the array discussion conference, he saw with his own eyes that Mo Hua, with the cultivation level of the middle stage of foundation building, overwhelmed the geniuses of the late stage of foundation building of the four major sects, and finally painted through the entire array discussion question bank, and won the first place in the array with an absolute crushing advantage.

This boy is definitely not an ordinary person.

Therefore, although he is Yuhua and Mo Hua is a foundation building, he can only pretend not to see Mo Hua's "rudeness".

Shangguan Wang walked past Mo Hua and came to Wen Ren Wan, saying calmly:

"According to the order of the head of the family, I will send the young lady and Master Yu back to the clan tomorrow."

"Thank you, Elder Wang." Wen Ren Wan said.

Shangguan Wang looked at Yu'er deeply, said "hmm" softly, and then went into the Gu family.

Mo Hua looked at Shangguan Wang's back and felt a little uncomfortable.

But he didn't know where this feeling of discomfort came from.

Shangguan looked into Gu's house, and there was another wave of welcomes and greetings. It was bustling, and Mo Hua also said goodbye.

Wen Renwan told him to "be careful along the way."

Yu'er waved to him.

Mo Hua also smiled and waved goodbye, then boarded the carriage and embarked on the journey back to Taixu Gate.

…

Ganxue state boundaries.

The wealthy Shen family's mansion.

This Chinese New Year, the Gu family is having a pretty lively time.

But on the contrary, the Shen family has been much more deserted and depressed this year.

Although the lights were brightly lit in the huge mansion, there was an icy deathly silence everywhere.

The sect elders coming and going all had gloomy expressions on their faces.

The disciples also looked uneasy and did not dare to speak loudly.

Occasionally, wine glasses were broken, and voices of abuse and reprimand were heard.

In the magnificent hall, the New Year's banquet ended hastily.

The clan members dispersed, but the ancestor of the Shen family was still sitting high in the hall, with a majestic aura and no anger on his face, but his whole body was like an iceberg, exuding a cold air.

When it was almost done, the head of the Shen family stayed behind to bear the wrath of his ancestor alone.

He is the head of the family, holds the power of the family, and enjoys the supreme honor and majesty of this fifth-grade family, but at the same time, he also carries a heavy burden as heavy as a mountain.

Once something goes wrong, he will be the only one to bear the brunt of the storm.

In the empty hall.

The head of the Shen family, who had always been aloof and respected by others, was now kneeling humbly at the foot of the steps, his forehead touching the cold ground, asking for forgiveness from his ancestor.

The ancestor of the Shen family looked at the head of the Shen family kneeling at his feet. His face was as calm as water, but his eyes were terrifyingly ferocious.

Finally, he closed his eyes slightly, restrained his ferocious aura, and said slowly:

"Get up."

The head of the Shen family, who had such a heavy burden on his back, breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, ancestor, for your mercy."

"Have you found out everything?" asked the Shen family ancestor.

"Yes," the head of the Shen family whispered, "the cause of this matter is that a disciple of the Taixu Sect was captured by a group of tomb robbers and taken into the tomb in Gushan."

"Then, an elder named Xun Ziyou from Taixu Sect and elder Shen Shouxing from my Shen family entered Gushan, and there were many twists and turns..."

"After this incident, someone saw that the elder of Taixu Sect named Xun Ziyou was still alive."

"No one saw how he came out of Gushan, but he did escape, and he was preaching and teaching in Taixu Sect like a normal person."

"And the Taixu Sect disciple who was captured in Gushan..."

"I had some guesses about the identity of this disciple, but there was no evidence. The Taixu Sect is very secretive, and even Daotingsi is tight-lipped."

"After more than a month, I spent a lot of troubles, made many contacts, and obtained some evidence, and then I was able to confirm his identity."

"The disciple of the Taixu Sect who is related to the Gushan incident is named Mo Minghua..."

As soon as he heard these words, the ancestor of the Shen family immediately raised his eyebrows slightly, "You mean..."

The head of the Shen family said: "Yes, it is the leader of the formation path from the Taixu Sect..."

The ancestor of the Shen family looked dull, showing no signs of joy or anger.

The head of the Shen family didn't know what the ancestor was thinking, so he could only continue:

"This matter should be... the Taixu Sect is secretly planning to use a disciple as a bait to expose the scars of my Shen family through various means and put our Shen family at a disadvantage, thereby attracting other wolves to covet me and let them eat me. The foundation of the Shen family..."

…

In this case of Gushan, how many spiritual mines, spiritual fields, spiritual stones and sect rights and interests did the Shen family give up in order to operate, as well as other powerful forces related to the Shen family, large and small...

No one knows better than him, the head of the family.

Every time he thinks of these things, the head of the Shen family's heart bleeds.

The hatred towards Taixu Sect in his heart became even deeper.

But the head of the Shen family was a little confused and said:

"This guy named Mo Hua is the leader of the formation, and he is a formation monster that has been rare in hundreds of years. The Taixu Sect is so big-hearted, they actually use him as a "bait"? They are not afraid, this kid died in the lonely mountain "?"

Once Mo Hua dies, with his Taixu Sect's formation knowledge, he will never be able to take the first place in the formation for the rest of his life.

Do they really not cherish this disciple so much?

besides……

The head of the Shen family frowned, "Why is he, a small foundation-building disciple, going to Gushan? For no reason, why does he want to go through this muddy water?"

"Does this kid have any ulterior motives?"

The ancestor of the Shen family pondered for a moment and said slowly: "This is a big game of chess, and behind it is the ancestor of the Cave Void Realm who is strategizing."

"In this chess game, everyone you see is a pawn."

"The Golden Core Sword Cultivator named Xun Ziyou is no exception, let alone... this young disciple who only has the Foundation Establishment Realm."

"Don't always think about what the chess pieces are thinking."

The ancestor of the Shen family looked at the head of the Shen family with a deep look:

"...You are the head of the family now, and the family should behave like the head of the family."

"You have to know who you are playing chess with."

"Only by standing behind the scenes and watching this game from the ancestor's perspective can you understand."

"In the future, when you are promoted to Dongxu, you will have a real position and become the ancestor of my Shen family..."

"If you are short-sighted and can only see the chess pieces but don't even know who you are playing chess with, you will be manipulated sooner or later."

These sincere words made the head of the Shen family tremble and shed tears of gratitude.

The ancestor still has expectations for himself.

The head of the Shen family knelt down and said, "My grandson will bear in mind the teachings of our ancestors."

The ancestor of the Shen family nodded slightly, and then changed the subject, "How much do you know about Yan Zhizhou?"

The head of the Shen family was just about to get up when he heard this and knelt down again, saying sincerely:

"It's because of the poor discipline of the grandson. Lin'er and the others... were young and frivolous, and they were greedy for the taste of rouge and made a fool of themselves. It really damaged the reputation of our Shen family..."

The head of the Shen family was uneasy. He thought that his ancestor would blame him, but unexpectedly, the patriarch of the Shen family shook his head and said:

"That's not necessarily a bad thing."

The head of the Shen family frowned, "Ancestor...you..."

The ancestor of the Shen family solemnly said: "I would rather they taste the taste of this flesh and blood, see through the beautiful and graceful skin of women in this world, and know the depravity and lowliness of women. From then on, they should restrain themselves and pursue Taoism."

"It will also prevent them from being confused by some low-born and beautiful women in the future, and become a waste."

"Monks should wholeheartedly cultivate the Tao and seek the power of heaven and earth to achieve immortality."

"Those who love their children and are greedy for temporary pleasure will only become a weakling before the catastrophe."

"You have to teach him this."

The head of the Shen family kowtowed and said, "Yes."

"Okay, go down," said the Shen family ancestor. "After you go down, call Lin'er."

The head of the Shen family breathed a long sigh of relief, kowtowed respectfully once more, and then stood up slowly, "I wish my ancestors may you be blessed as long as the sea, and live as long as the sky."

The head of the Shen family retreated.

After a while, a young man with extraordinary appearance walked in, kowtowed respectfully and said:

"My great-great-grandson Shen Linshu has met our ancestors."

The young man is upright and neither humble nor arrogant.

The ancestor of the Shen family had a strange light in his eyes. He looked at Shen Linshu as if he was looking at himself back then.

"Lin'er..." The ancestor of the Shen family looked gentle.

"Ancestor." Shen Lin wrote.

"Soon, it will be the Sword Discussion Conference."

"Yes," Shen Linshu's eyes were bright and his tone was resounding, "My great-great-grandson will definitely win the first place in sword theory this time for the Qiandao Sect, for the Shen family, and for you, our ancestor!"

The ancestor of the Shen family shook his head, "This number one is not for Qian Dao Sect, not for the Shen family, or for me, but for you."

"Your qualifications, talent, and mind are all the best choices. You only have this chance to prove yourself."

"If you win the first place in sword theory, you can go straight to the top of the clouds."

Shen Linshu's eyes were sharp, but he still said:

"My ancestor pampered me, the Shen family raised me, Qian Dao taught me, and my great-great-grandson is now a successful practitioner. He should live up to his ancestor's love and the cultivation of his family and sect."

The ancestor of the Shen family nodded happily, "You are more promising than your father, don't let me down."

"Don't worry, ancestor." Shen Lin wrote.

"Go down and practice well."

"Yes, great-great-grandson takes his leave."

Shen Linshu bowed respectfully and stepped back.

The ancestor of the Shen family looked at Shen Linshu's back silently.

Looking at my great-great-grandson who is tall and handsome, masculine in blood, full of spiritual power, and born with a temperament that is awe-inspiring above the common people, like a "unicorn", I feel a deep affection in my heart.

This is the genius of his Shen family.

This is the true pride of heaven.

This is the most direct bloodline of his Dongxu ancestor.

He was angry about Yan Zhizhou.

What he was angry about was not Shen Linshu's misbehavior. What he was angry about was how could those lowly women be qualified to allow him, the great-great-grandson of the Qilin lineage, to be "lucky"?

How can you match those cheap status?

The ancestor of the Shen family looked slightly stunned, but then gradually calmed down, and his whole person became calm again.

Seeing Shen Linshu, he couldn't help but think of another name:

"Ink painting..."

This disciple named Mo Hua wanted to join the Qian Dao Sect with the ancient admission order a few years ago.

But was rejected.

In the heart of the Shen family ancestor, it would be impossible to say that he didn't care at all.

There was a trace of pity in his heart.

What he regrets is not the ink painting itself, but that he should not "capitalize the enemy".

At that time, he accepted Mo Hua, even if he was kept as a handyman, as a registered disciple who was not counted as an outer sect, he was made to feel inferior among the Qian Dao Sect and nearly a thousand of the proud disciples of heaven, and his Taoist heart was humble, and he eventually became oblivious. Everyone...

It's better to just hand him over to Taixu Gate.

If it weren't for Mo Hua, the sect's restructuring would have been settled, and there wouldn't be so many details and changes.

It won’t be until this session of discussion that the direction of the general trend can be decided.

Not to mention exposing the Shen family's Gushan affairs.

As the undercurrent surged, the Shen family was once in a state of turmoil, and they had to cut off their wrists and cut off a lot of flesh.

And this is because he sensed it early and made his decision early.

If it were any slower, the Shen family would inevitably encounter a catastrophe and be in danger.

Now that things have happened, the ancestor of the Shen family knows very well that the ink painting must have the cause and effect of that person.

Patriarch Xun of Taixu Sect must also know this.

Precisely because he knew it, he used Mo Hua as a "chess piece" through this strategizing to deal with the restructuring of the Qian Dao Sect and even the four major sects.

The ancestor of the Shen family sighed in his heart.

When misfortunes come, blessings fall upon them; when blessings come, misfortunes fall upon them.

For the Qiandao Sect, this son was originally a blessing, but because he was rejected, it turned into a "disaster".

The change of cause and effect is truly mysterious.

Taixu Sect’s Ancestor Xun is indeed a master of this art. He was able to train a disciple with inferior spiritual roots from the middle and lower grades to become the leader of the Dao of Formation and cultivate him into a sharp sword against the Qian Dao Sect.

“But, that’s it…”

The Shen family’s ancestor pondered in his heart.

After all, Taixu Sect’s foundation is a little poor. Even if the three sects merged, most of the top disciples have gone, and most of the remaining ones are just ordinary people.

In the study of Dao, the sword is the most respected, and the sword is the most important.

This is a dead end for Taixu Sect.

And this Mo Hua, no matter how good the formation is, can only get the first place in the formation.

“A leader in the formation alone can’t save your Taixu Sect, which has merged the three sects…”

The Shen family’s ancestor smiled lightly, his eyes gloomy.

…

After Mo Hua returned to Taixu Sect, he began to practice day after day.

And after the New Year, time flies, and more than a month has passed.

Mo Hua finally started his ninth year in Taixu Sect.

This was also his last year of practicing Taoism in Taixu Sect.

And this year, he was finally going to participate in the largest-scale Ganxue State, which included the four major sects, the eight major schools, the twelve schools, and even the Ganxue Hundred Sects, countless geniuses gathered, and thousands of Taoisms competed. It was also a grand event that all sect disciples only had once in their lives:

Ganxue Sword Discussion Conference.
