Chapter 797 Suicide
This news was obtained by Mo Hua from Hao Xuan, the most important thing is Hao Xuan''s cousin, Hao Se.
Hao Xuan''s final year assessment was very poor.
Especially swordsmanship.
Since he became addicted to hitting the stick, he rarely used swords. Over time, his swordsmanship became unfamiliar.
In a sect with genius, if you don’t advance your swordsmanship, you will retreat.
Hao Xuan therefore only got a "C" in swordsmanship. Although it is actually a little better than ink painting, it is indeed similar to ink painting in rating.
But the ink painting is handsome and the formation is superior. In other aspects, the qualifications are limited, and no one blames him.
What''s more, he has no family and his parents are not around, so he practices all depends on self-consciousness, and no one urges him.
10,000 steps back, even if his parents are by their side, they will only be proud of him if they learn that Mo Hua can achieve "one A and six C" in the Ganxue Prefecture, which is full of sects and in the genius Taixu Sect.
After all, his starting point is too low, and it is not easy to achieve a little result.
Hao Xuan is different.
He has a family, and there are great competition among the clan and strict requirements. His parents also attach great importance to his homework and achievements.
A monk of his age, his sect''s "homework achievements" are often the entire "meaning" of his existence.
Therefore, Hao Xuan got a "C", which was like the sky fell.
His parents, including elders from the same lineage, did not give him a good face.
Hao Xuan lived this year with trembling fear.
He became less and less willing to stay in the family, so he settled down and ran to Taixu Sect to "take refuge".
His words to his parents were:
I was ashamed of not doing well in the exam, and I wanted to work hard to achieve success and strive to be the best, so I stayed in the sect, worked hard to practice and tutored my homework, and I would not go back during the Chinese New Year.
This statement was learned only when he specifically asked the "Little Senior Brother" for ink painting.
And Hao Xuan''s parents did not object.
Not only did they not object, they even felt that Hao Xuan was "being braver after knowing shame."
Although I did poorly this time, it was not too late to know how to work hard.
His parents were very pleased.
In this way, Hao Xuan stayed at Taixu Gate and accompanied Mo Hua to celebrate the New Year.
He is indeed practicing on weekdays, either learning swordsmanship, practicing sticks, or asking for advice on ink painting formations. He has never been slacking off, so he is not considered lying to his parents.
As the end of the year approaches, his parents are still concerned about this son who is "working hard" and asked his cousin Hao Se to go back to the sect to bring him some delicious food.
At this time, Hao Xuan was in his disciple Curie, learning the formation with Mo Hua.
Hao Se placed seven or eight large and small food boxes of maroon-brown borders on the table and said, "Hao Xuan, I''m here to bring you food."
After saying that, he saluted Mo Hua again, "Senior Brother, Happy New Year."
?
He is not very familiar with Hao Se, and only remembers that there seems to be such a disciple in the same class as Taixu Sect, but he doesn''t have a deep impression of it.
On weekdays, no matter whether you offer a reward from the sect or go to the Demon Refining Mountain to hunt monsters, there seems to be no intersection.
He didn''t even remember his name.
Hao Xuan then said, "This is my cousin, his surname is Hao Se, one year older than me, but his enlightenment in Taoism is with me. We are of the same age and have similar cultivation, so we are also entering the Taixu Sect together."
“Oh.” Mo Hua nodded.
"Hao Se..."
It''s this name, no matter how you hear it, you feel a little strange.
Hao Se is lively and somewhat familiar.
Mo Hua doesn’t know him very much, but he knows Mo Hua.
After all, there are only one "little senior brother" in the entire Taixu Sect.
There are too many people in aristocratic families during the New Year, and there are too many red tape.
Hao Se rarely ran out and didn''t want to go back for the time being, so he and Hao Xuan and Mo Hua lived together to eat spiritual meals, drink spiritual wine, and chat.
As he was chatting, Hao Se suddenly looked lonely, sighed, and said, "A senior sister died in Baihua Valley." This sentence came very suddenly.
Mo Hua was eating chicken legs happily, and his head couldn''t help but crashed for a while, "What?"
Hao Se repeated again, "In Baihua Valley, a senior sister is dead..."
Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, looking at Hao Se, and her heart was full of thoughts, and she didn''t know where to start.
How could a senior sister die in Baihua Valley?
You are not a disciple of Baihua Valley...How could you know this?
Besides, a senior sister died in Baihua Valley. What does it have to do with you?
Hao Xuan sighed, feeling a little unwilling to speak out, but his disciple Curie had no outsiders, so he said, "My cousin... I wished for the rest of my life is to become a disciple of Baihua Valley..." Mo Hua was stunned, "Does Baihua Valley accept male disciples?"
Hao Se shook his head and said disappointedly, "No."
Mo Hua said curiously, "Then why did you become a disciple of Baihua Valley?"
Hao Se said solemnly, "Because Baihua Valley does not accept male disciples, my life''s wish is to promote the reform of Baihua Valley, so that Baihua Valley also accept male disciples, and settle for the second best, and accept male cultivators as elders. In this way, after I graduate from Taixu Sect, I can''t become a disciple, and I can also make ''become the elder of Baihua Valley'' a lifetime ambition..."
Mo Hua opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The world is full of all kinds of people...
"But this kind of reform is not feasible. No matter how you think about Baihua Valley, you can''t recruit male cultivators. As a guest elder, you should." Mo Hua said again.
"Yes, the future is bleak..."
Hao Se looked lonely and finally gritted his teeth, "It really doesn''t work. I heard that Hehuan Sect has a way to reverse yin and yang, I..."
Hao Xuan immediately covered his mouth, "Stop it, cousin! Don''t say it anymore! If your uncle or aunt hears it, they must break your legs."
Mo Hua also looked shocked and admired.
In a sense, this brother is also a ruthless person.
But he was also very puzzled and asked, "Why do you want to go to Baihua Valley so much?"
Hao Se said seriously:
"There is no special reason, it''s just an ordinary ''life ideal''. Since it is a life ideal, what other reasons are needed?"
The ink painting was speechless.
Hao Xuan, who was standing beside him, sighed, "My cousin is actually very qualified, but it''s just... a little abnormal..."
Hao Se looked unhappy, but he did not refute.
Hao Xuan continued: "... Logically speaking, if he works harder and operates his family, it is not impossible for him to join the four major sects, but because he always speaks amazingly, the clan is afraid that he will cause trouble, so he can only stuff him to the Taixu Sect and be with me. I grew up with him since I was a child, knowing his temperament, and being able to watch him..."
I see…
Mo Hua nodded.
Hao Se said, "What are the four major sects? If they can enter Baihua Valley, who would rather go to the four major sects?"
Hao Xuan broke off a chicken leg and handed it to Mo Hua, "Senior Brother, eat chicken leg, don''t pay attention to him."
"Oh..." Mo Hua took the chicken leg, chewed it, and suddenly asked curiously, "Hao Se..."
Because I was gnawing on the chicken legs and couldn''t pronounce the word clearly, the word "Hao Se" in Mo Hua''s mouth became "lustful"...
Hao Se quickly corrected:
"It''s Hao Se, not lustful!"
"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded and then asked, "Hao Se, you said that a senior sister in Baihua Valley committed suicide. What''s going on?"
Hao Se''s expression was sad.
He is in Taixu Gate and his heart is in Baihua Valley, so he has always been very concerned about Baihua Valley.
"I often wander around Baihua Valley, so I also met several senior sisters from Baihua Valley..."
“How did you get to know each other?”
"I got beaten a few times and then I met..."
Ink painting: “…”
Hao Xuan felt embarrassed, but still explained:
"My cousin... he was wandering around Baihua Valley because he had time. The disciples of Baihua Valley discovered it and thought he was planning to be bad, so he beat him up a few times. After that, the misunderstanding was resolved, and he even knew him..."
This is true, we won’t know each other if we don’t “fight”…
Hao Se waved his hand and said, "This is all a small matter. Whose life can be without any small setbacks. The next thing is the main thing..."
Hao Se took a sip of wine and frowned, "I gave a birthday gift to several senior sisters from Baihua Valley a few years ago. Seeing that they looked wrong, they asked if something had happened. They refused to say that I promised repeatedly that it would not be revealed to the public. They then told me..."
Speaking of this, Hao Se said to Mo Hua and Hao Xuan again: "You must also guarantee that you cannot disclose it to the outside world, so I can tell you..."
Hao Xuan and Mo Hua nodded silently.
Hao Se was very satisfied and continued:
"The senior sisters said that during the New Year, most sisters went back to their families to celebrate the New Year, and there were also long roads, and they were either going to make up for the exam or had some delays, and they stayed in Baihua Valley for the New Year."
"On the day of the festival, everything was fine, but the fire broke out, and a disciple''s residence suddenly caught fire."
"The fire was not big. The left-behind elders quickly put out the flames. The fire did not spread and did not cause much loss."
"The elder was a little angry at first, and thought that some disciple was careless and did not turn off the alchemy furnace before leaving, causing the alchemy furnace to catch fire and cause a fire."
"But when this elder entered the disciple''s residence, his expression changed drastically."
"The disciple is in the middle, and a burnt corpse is lying. A female disciple was burned to death during the Chinese New Year..."
Mo Hua''s eyes narrowed, "Is this suicide?"
Hao Se shook his head, "I don''t know either, but after checking Baihua Valley, there was no trace of others taking action. From beginning to end, this senior sister was the only one in the room."
"Even the head of this incident was alarmed."
"But the head of Baihua Valley, together with the elders, did not find any other clues. In the end, it was unanimously assumed that this was a suicide..."
Hao Se told all the news he heard.
Mo Hua frowned. He always felt that this matter was a bit strange.
But this is the matter of Baihua Valley.
Ink painting is very busy, and you have to practice, teach, learn formations, and check the matter of Water Yama. Naturally, you have no time to ask about this kind of thing.
What''s more, Baihua Valley not only does not accept male disciples, but also prohibits any male cultivator from entering.
Even if he wants to ask, he can''t ask.
As for this senior sister who died of self-immolation in her great years, he could only sigh and express regret in his heart.
Hao Se also looked sad.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Hao Xuan said, "I won''t talk about this anymore. There will naturally be explanations on Baihua Valley for this matter. Let''s talk about other things."
Hao Se also nodded.
He was originally sad and wanted to talk to someone, but now he said it, and he felt a little better.
Moreover, it has not happened in the Ganxuezhou area that the disciples of the sect committed suicide or died.
There are even some male and female disciples who are dissatisfied with the marriages that the family has made since childhood, make an appointment to commit suicide, and make a self-destruction together...
As there are many people, anything can happen.
Hao Xuan found another topic and exposed the matter.
The three of them ate meat, drank wine, and chatted for a while, and Hao Se was about to go Hui.
Before leaving, Mo Hua was stunned and asked in a strange way: "Hao Se, do you know who the suicide senior sister is?"
Hao Se thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don''t know, I''ve never seen him before, I only know that this senior sister seems to be the last name of ''Ye''..."
Seen Ye...
Mo Hua''s pupils shrank.
A face appeared in my mind.
The oval face, delicate facial features, skin like cream, with a little sadness between the eyebrows and eyes, looking introverted and a little cold.
Senior Sister Ye? !
A few days ago, he had just met this Senior Sister Ye, dressed like a bunch of flowers, and was even more beautiful than a flower. After just a few days, he suddenly died?
Ink painting frowned.
"Can you guessed it wrong... it''s not that Senior Sister Ye?"
In Baihua Valley, there may not be only this senior sister named "Ye", and it may not be the one who committed suicide.
But that''s it, Mo Hua always has a bad premonition in her heart.
…
I didn’t let go of this matter.
A few days later, he asked Senior Sister Murong for confirmation.
Murong Caiyun looked surprised, "Who did you hear?"
"A friend who happened to meet by chance and had a little connection with Baihua Valley."
"Mo Hua did not say the name "Hao Se".
Murong Caiyun''s expression was a little melancholy. She sighed softly, "That''s right, it''s Sister Jin''er..."
?

Mo Hua said, "...can you sell it for a good price?"
Murong Caiyun''s eyes were slightly stunned, she sighed deeply, and nodded, "Yes."
Marriages within the family, whether large or small, are mostly a "buy".
Mo Hua couldn''t help but remember the "gossip" of the aristocratic family that An Xiaofu talked about a long time ago.
There is also a high probability that Uncle Zhang Lan, who ran to Xiaoxian City to "avoid marriage", couldn''t help but sigh in his heart.
It seems that there are many people in the family who cannot help themselves.
Mo Hua touched indirectly and asked for the news that Senior Sister Baihua Guye had committed suicide for a while, but Murong Caiyun didn''t know much, and most of the news was similar to what Hao Se said.
The only new clue is the Ye family.
"Ye Family..."
Mo Hua muttered softly, and inexplicably felt that the surname "Ye" was very familiar.
But since he entered the Ganxue Prefecture, he has come into contact with too many families and monks. Many large families and small families even use the same surname, but their ancestors still have the same origin, with lush branches and leaves, and complex origins.
Ink paintings are from a casual cultivator, and their thoughts are inevitably a little confused when they involve these complex family surnames.
For a while, he couldn''t remember whether he had ever contacted a monk named "Ye" or a family.
"By the way, Senior Sister Murong," Mo Hua asked at the end, "Where is the Ye family? It should not be in the Ganxuezhou community."
"Well, the Ye family is a third-rank family and is not qualified to gain a foothold in the Ganxuezhou community. As for where..."
"Murong Caiyun frowned, "Wait, I''ll check it out."
"She took out a map from a storage bag with golden silk phoenix patterns, searched for a while, and pointed to a place with slender and fair fingers:
“Here…Yanshui City.”
Mo Hua''s pupils suddenly shook.
"Smokeshui...city?"
"Yes." Murong Caiyun nodded, "Yanshui City is a third-grade fairy city, located on the banks of Yanshui River. Yanshui River flows through the city, hence the name "Yanshui City".
"The Ye family is also the top family in Yanshui City..."
After Murong Caiyun finished speaking, he saw that Mo Hua looked different and asked:
"Is there anything wrong?"
"nothing…"
Mo Hua thought for a moment and shook her head.
He silently wrote down the three words "Yanshuicheng", then thanked Murong Caiyun, exchanged a few more greetings, and then said goodbye and left.
Back at the disciple''s residence, Mo Hua sat at the desk, frowning even tighter.
Yanshuicheng...
Ye family, Senior Sister Ye, Baihua Valley.
suicide…
He thinks there must be big problems here.
But there are too few clues and some are not very clear.
Mo Hua sighed softly.
He had only met "Senior Sister Ye" and had never even said a few words. He didn''t want to meddle in other people''s business, let alone, this was a matter within Baihua Valley.
But now, it is a bit different when it comes to the three words "Yanshuihe"...
Let’s find a way to figure out what’s going on…
"But, how do you check it?"
He must not be able to enter Baihua Valley and cannot check it.
The only way is to start with the "Ye family" in Yanshui City.
"Take time to go to Yanshui City and have a look..."
Mo Hua said silently in her heart.
A few days later, the New Year Festival was completely over and Taixu Gate "school" was "opened" again.
