Chapter 809 Rouge


    Probably not...


    Mo Hua thought about being trapped in Wan Yao Valley, either lost his soul or was nervous, had no opinion, and only knew how to bite the jerky meat he gave him. Song Jian, who was just accomplicating himself, shook his head silently.


    Ban Kinmen is all human spirits. How could Song Jian get to power with such a little mental method?


    It would be good if you could be an elder.


    Mo Hua put this matter behind his mind.


    After returning to the sect, he taught Yu''er''s formation for a while, then returned to the house and reviewed his homework for a while. When the hour of the middle was approaching, he continued to practice the formation at the Taoist stele.


    He has already learned almost all the second-grade eighteen-patterned formation given by Mr. Xun.


    What he is practicing now is the nineteen-patterned formation.


    The nineteenth pattern is a real second-grade high-level formation.


    It is also the limit of the formation that ordinary second-grade formation masters can control.


    For ordinary formation masters, it may take some time to comprehend, practice, and study before they can gradually comprehend.


    But for ink painting, the nineteen-patterned formation is almost no essential difference between the eighteen-patterned formation.


    Thanks to the Taoist monument in his sea of ??consciousness, the foundation of his powerful spiritual consciousness, and the rapid recovery of meditation, his formation practice volume is almost ten times or even dozens of times that of ordinary formation masters.


    Practice makes perfect.


    And he has a high understanding.


    After the divine consciousness becomes enlightened, it is compatible with divinity, close to the great way, and has a more thorough understanding of formation.


    In addition, with Mr. Xun''s guidance, he can learn this general formation very quickly even if it is a second-grade high-end nineteen-patterned formation.


    Practicing the nineteen-line formation will also improve the spiritual consciousness more obviously.


    But this improvement is still far from enough.


    Because after the nineteenth pattern, there is a big barrier of twenty patterns, with a natural barrier between them.


    Above this, every time you make a little more diligent, you need a huge amount of spiritual consciousness.


    Ink painting sighed slightly.


    "It''s really too slow. In this way, I''m afraid I can''t give Mr. Xun any surprises..."


    Still need to find some other ways.


    Mo Hua thought about it and immediately sent a letter to Gu Changhuai:


    "Uncle Gu, how are you talking about your blind date?"


    Soon, Gu Changhuai corrected with an ugly look:


    "It''s not a blind date, it''s an investigation."


    "Yeah, it''s investigation."


    “There is a clue.”


    Mo Hua''s eyes lit up, "What clue?"


    Gu Changhuai didn''t say that, but hesitated for a moment and frowned, "My aunt..."


    "Don''t worry, leave it to me!" Mo Hua took a big bag and said.


    Gu Changhuai sighed and then said:


    "I took the initiative to meet that woman named Hua, but she didn''t refuse..."


    "Yeah." Mo Hua nodded.


    Uncle Gu has made some progress.


    However, the flower teacher agreed so simply, and Mo Hua was somewhat suspicious.


    But he thought again and thought that it might be because of Uncle Gu’s face that the woman did not refuse.


    After all, whether it is a man or a woman, it is really something you can eat if you look good.


    Gu Changhuai continued, "I invite... that woman to have a meal in a restaurant in Baihua City. She was patient at the meal and chatted a few times, but she didn''t get much."


    "This woman has a fake smile on her face, she speaks without any leakage, and is obviously more cautious. When talking about key points, she either pretends to be reserved, smiles without saying a word, or pretends to be poses and poses, which is really annoying..."


    Ink painting: “…”


    He imagined the scene at that time and said in his heart:


    Pretending to be reserved, smiling without saying a word, posing with a pose, isn''t this showing you a good sign...


    Alas, it’s a pity that Uncle Gu has worked as a person for a long time, and his brain circuit is a bit different from that of ordinary people.


    That flower teacher really threw his charming eyes to the blind man.


    "What?" Mo Hua asked again.


    "I''ll send her back to the sect after that..." Gu Changhuai said.


    Mo Hua couldn''t help but say, "That''s it?"


    Gu Changhuai: "What else do you want?"


    "Okay," Mo Hua sighed, "Where is the clue? You won''t be just this little thing..."


    "Well," Gu Changhuai said, "When she was having a meal, she accidentally said a few words..."


    "What do you mean?"


    Gu Changhuai: "I asked her what she did when she was not teaching in the sect on weekdays? She said that she practiced, prepared lessons, and occasionally went out with some sisters to buy flowers, refine flower pills, or go to Rouge Pavilion to buy some rouge..."


    Mo Hua thought about these words in his mind for a moment, frowned and said, "These are all very ordinary things."


    "These words are indeed very ordinary." Gu Changhuai said, "but when she said it, her tone changed a little, her expression was a little nervous, her eyes subconsciously dodging, and she seemed to suddenly realize that there was something that should not be said."


    "The words are fine, but there is something wrong with her mood."


    "And this expression flashed and she smiled even more, and she became a little more enthusiastic about me, and even came close to me and poured wine for me..."


    "I obviously want to use my appearance to disturb my thoughts and make me ignore what she said."


    Mo Hua was stunned.


    For a moment, he thought Uncle Gu was really amazing...


    Observe subtlety, calm mind, and beauty cannot disturb your mind.


    "Do you know which sentence is wrong?" Mo Hua asked.


    Gu Changhuai nodded, "Rouge Pavilion."


    "Roge Pavilion?"


    Gu Changhuai pondered for a moment and said:


    "I thought about it carefully. When she said these three words, she looked as usual. After saying it, she was obviously stunned. Then she immediately realized that she shouldn''t say these three words, so she found a way to hide it..."


    "Is there a Rouge Pavilion in Baihua City?" Mo Hua asked.


    "Yes," Gu Changhuai said, "I asked Gu An and Gu Quan to check. There are four Rouge Pavilions in Baihua City, but that woman usually only goes to one of them. This Rouge Pavilion is called ''Baixiang Pavilion''."


    "Baixiang Pavilion..." Mo Hua pondered and asked, "Is there any problem with this Baixiang Pavilion?"


    "There is no problem on the surface." Gu Changhuai said, "So, I used this as a clue and looked back at the woman. After some investigation..."


    Gu Changhuai frowned slightly, "...that woman named ''Hua'' would go to Baixiang Pavilion every ten days and half a month to purchase rouge and water powder. After buying it, she was not in a hurry to return to the sect, but instead took a carriage from Baihua Valley and left Baihua City directly. After passing through several nearby fairy cities adjacent to the sect, she kept going out and leaving the Qianxuezhou area..."


    "After that, she will pass through several nearby small fairy cities, and then return from Qingzhou City to Qianxuezhou, pass by the gate of Dao Tingsi and return to Baihua Valley."


    Mo Hua was a little confused, "What is she doing in such a big circle?"


    "Buy rouge." Gu Changhuai said.


    The ink painting is a little unbelievable, "Just just to buy rouge?"


    Gu Changhuai: "Yes, I checked it later and found that she did buy some different types of rouge powder in every fairy city to a greater or lesser extent."


    Mo Hua pondered, "Is there something wrong with this..."


    Gu Changhuai sighed, "I thought there was something wrong at first, so I went to ask my cousin later, but my cousin said it was okay. She said that women are like this, they just want to buy so much rouge and water..."


    Ink painting: “…”


    "Then what, are there any other clues?" Mo Hua asked again.


    I can’t. After a long time of trouble, I only knew that this flower teacher likes to buy rouge and water.


    Gu Changhuai frowned, "The time is short, and the things I found are limited. It would be nice to have so many. How can I pick and choose? But..."


    Gu Changhuai hesitated for a moment and passed on the letter:


    "There is another last point, a bit suspicious... That woman left Baixiang Pavilion, walked around, and returned to Baihua Valley. The little fairy city she passed by was Yanshui City!"


    Mo Hua raised her eyebrows.


    “Yanshui City!”


    Yanshui City where the Ye family is located is also Yanshui City where the Yanshui River flows through.


    In this way, the clues will probably be linked together.


    But there is no more news on Gu Changhuai.


    After all, he only invited Hua Ruyu to have a meal once, and he didn''t talk much. It was already very good to get these clues.


    "Uncle Gu, you make an appointment a few more times, maybe you can ask for other things." Mo Hua encouraged him.


    Gu Changhuai frowned, "No appointment."


    "Why?" Mo Hua was puzzled, "I can eat, go on blind dates, and investigate cases. Isn''t it good to kill three birds with one stone?"


    "If you want to go, you can go by yourself. I''m not available for the time being. In a few days, I''ll go to Yanshui City to take a look." Gu Changhuai said.


    Mo Hua immediately said, "I''ll go too, Uncle Gu, take me with you."


    "What are you going to do?" Gu Changhuai asked.


    "Find out the real cause of Senior Sister Ye Jin''s death and give her justice!" Mo Hua said with a firm expression.


    When Gu Changhuai heard this, he felt a little confused in his heart with the intuition of the Daoting Si Diansi.


    Something went wrong.


    Although this kid Mo Hua is good-hearted, he is definitely not a kind of kind-hearted and bad person.


    Why did he care so much about the death of a female disciple from Baihua Valley for no reason?


    What does the matter between Baihua Valley have to do with him, a disciple of the Taixu Sect?


    Very problematic...


    Gu Changhuai passed on a letter and said, "Are you? What else do you have to hide from me? I honestly tell you, why are you looking up this matter?"


    Mo Hua was a little guilty and still said seriously on the surface: "It''s really just to give Sister Ye Jin a ''just''!"


    Altar, demon, evil spirit, etc., are just by the way.


    Moreover, he was in Baihua Valley, but he agreed to the half-step evil spirit to avenge her.


    There are some things that cannot be spoken up easily.


    Once you speak, you will be affected by cause and effect and you cannot keep your word.


    So, it is not wrong to say that it is to give Senior Sister Ye Jin justice.


    Seeing that he could not open the mouth of Ink Painting, Gu Changhuai had to give up.


    Anyway, even if he pried it open, he didn''t know whether the ink painting with seven or eight thoughts told the truth.


    Let him go.


    "When I was having a break, come to Daotingsi... No, go to Gu''s family to find me, I''ll take you to Yanshui City." Gu Changhuai said.


    Mo Hua was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly:


    "Yeah, thank you Uncle Gu!"


    "Also, remember my aunt''s side..."


    Gu Changhuai really had no choice but to deal with Elder Gu Hong, so he talked about it again.


    "Don''t worry, I have my own way." Mo Hua guaranteed.


    Gu Changhuai was relieved.


    After that, Mo Hua spent a few days in the sect, where he went to class, hunted monsters and painted formations, and soon it was the end of the day.


    After he was ready, he went to the Gu family early in the morning.


    When I arrived at Gu''s family, I asked Aunt Wan for some pastries. Mo Hua went to the study and found Gu Changhuai.


    There are two people around Gu Changhuai.


    Mo Hua was happy to see this and smiled and said hello, "Brother Xiao An, Brother Xiao Quan, long time no see."


    Gu An and Gu Quan also bowed and smiled and said, "Hello, young master."


    Mo Hua was curious, "You guys go together too?"


    "Yes," Gu An nodded, "because we investigated the case, there were multiple people, and there were multiple clues, we also happened to run errands for the young master."


    “That’s right.”


    Seeing that Mo Hua came, Gu Changhuai said directly: "Let''s go, go early and come back early, don''t delay."


    "Okay." Mo Hua nodded.


    After that, everyone set out in the Gu family''s carriage.


    Leaving the Gu family, the carriage walked straight through Qingzhou City, followed the Yanshui River, and drove all the way to Yanshui City.


    The Gu family''s carriage was very fast, and they never stopped by several small fairy cities they passed by. After about an hour, they arrived at Yanshui City.


    In Yanshui City, there is a "Shuixiang Pavilion", which sells rouge and water powder.


    It is also the place where the teacher named Hua Ruyu in Baihua Valley bought powder when he passed by Yanshui City.


    Most of the people who enter Shuixiang Pavilion are women.


    Even if there are men, they will accompany women in, and few male cultivators enter this kind of rouge shop alone.


    Mo Hua looked at Gu Changhuai, then looked at Gu An and Gu Quan, and asked, "How do we check?"


    Four of them, three big men, and one young man, went in and asked questions like this, wouldn’t it be suspicious?


    Gu An said, "I know a few female stewardesses. They have a clean family background and reliable person. I have already agreed with them to ask them to come to the Yanzhi Shop to ask for some things, and they will come later."


    Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, looking at Gu An, a little shocked.


    It turns out that people are not good at appearance. Looking at the honest and calm little brother, he actually has such connections.


    He turned his head again, glanced at Gu Changhuai, and shook his head slightly.


    Meaning, look at Brother Xiao An, who is a steward, and he still knows a few female stewards. Uncle Gu, you are a Diansi, a single steward, and a single female cultivator.


    The ink painting did not say it clearly.


    But when Gu Changhuai saw his expression, he probably understood what he meant and his face suddenly turned dark.


    But in front of Gu An and Gu Quan, he was too lazy to see the same knowledge as ink painting.


    After coming over for a while, two women came over.


    Both of them have foundation-building cultivation. They do not wear Taoist robes of Dao Tingsi, but are wearing pretty dresses and dressed up in ordinary clothes, looking like ordinary women from a beautiful family.


    The two girls saluted Gu Changhuai first and greeted Gu An.


    Gu An smiled and said, "Please ask the two girls."


    The two female stewardess smiled and replied, "This is what we deserve."


    Afterwards, the two female stewards joined hands to enter Shuixiang Pavilion, and Gu An and Gu Quan asked in the shop outside.


    Mo Hua and Gu Changhuai found a teahouse and asked some gossip while drinking tea and eating pine nuts.


    About an hour later, everyone met in the teahouse, booked a private room, and summarized the information they had found.


    "The boss of Shuixiang Pavilion is a peak foundation-building monk, with a slightly fat body and a native of Yanshui City."


    "We asked him if your rouge is good, so he showed it to us, saying that his rouge is the most popular in Yanshui City. Not only the local women from aristocratic families will come to him to pick up gouache, but women from some major families and sects in Qianxuezhou also often come to him to buy rouge..."


    "I said I didn''t believe it, so he listed some, including the female elder of Baihua Sect."


    "Elder?"


    "It''s probably because he boasted about the teachings and deliberately said that they were elders."


    Mo Hua nodded.


    The female steward said again: "We took the opportunity to ask about the ''female elder'' in Baihua Valley. When we learned that this ''female elder'' would indeed come to him every once in a while to buy rouge and water."


    "And, not only when you buy rouge and water powder, but when you see some beautiful girls, she will also come forward to talk. She is beautiful, familiar with rouge and water powder, and has exquisite makeup. What''s more, she is the "elder" of Baihua Valley, so it is easy to chat with these little girls."


    "I heard from this boss that if I get along with each other, this female elder of Baihua Valley will even introduce some girls to join Baihua Valley, one of the ''twelve-rate'' of Qianxue."


    Recommended...to enter Baihua Valley?


    The eyes of the ink painting are slightly condensed.


    Gu Changhuai''s face also became slightly lowered.


    This flower teacher wanders in the rouge shops in various fairy cities, probably because he has ulterior motives...


    "We''ve only found out so much..."


    Two female stewardess said.


    Gu Quan said, "I asked some shops around. It is true that every once in a while, there is a carriage embroidered with flowers and ornate decorations parked outside the Shuixiang Pavilion."


    "This carriage should be from Baihua Valley."


    "But the carriage is closed, and the situation inside the car is basically not visible from the outside."


    "And if you stay for a while, it will take about half an hour each time. The carriage will leave Yanshui City and drive upstream along Yanshui River..."


    "Based on their description, I probably restored the appearance of the carriage..."


    …


    Afterwards, everyone told me some fragmented and miscellaneous news.


    These messages may not be useful, but just in case, you still can''t let them go.


    After the news was finished, Gu Changhuai nodded:


    "Thanks for your hard work."


    Then he nodded to Gu An.


    Gu An stood up and said with a smile, "I will give you two girls and buy some rouge and water powder for the two girls as a thank you gift."


    The two female stewardess smiled and thanked her, obviously very happy.


    Later, Gu An sent two female stewardess away.


    Gu Quan took out the jade slip and recorded the corresponding news in detail to avoid any seemingly ordinary but critical details.


    When Gu An came back, Gu Changhuai''s eyes were filled with thoughts.


    Gu An frowned and said, "Diansi, this Huashi teacher is probably really a problem."


    Gu Changhuai nodded slightly.


    "Although there is a problem, at present, there seems to be no conclusive evidence, and there are even no obvious clues..." Gu Quan said.


    "Yes, it can be seen that she is very cautious in doing things and has no flaws in her behavior, which makes people confused about what she is going to do?"


    Gu An pondered for a moment, but had no clue, so he asked Gu Changhuai:


    "Next, where can we start?"


    Gu Changhuai pondered for a moment and said, "Follow the route of her carriage and follow the Yanshui River, we will also walk around and take a look. The long snake wanders around, and it is impossible for him to leave no horses and feet."


    After Gu Changhuai finished speaking, he looked at the ink painting.


    Mo Hua also nodded and said, "Well, I think so too!"


    After that, everyone left Yanshui City, drove along the avenue, and headed to the next place. At the same time, four pairs of eyes stared all the way to see if there were any traces of possible signs along the way.


    But after watching for a long time, I found no suspicious clues until the next Yunshui City.


    Gu Changhuai frowned and could only say, "Continue to go forward and take a look..."


    But Mo Hua said, "Wait a minute."


    Gu Changhuai was stunned.


    Mo Hua touched the copper coins left to him by the master in his hand, closed his eyes slightly, and silently activated his spiritual consciousness in his heart to perform calculations.


    After a while, Mo Hua suddenly opened her eyes, turned her head and looked back with a bright look:


    "We don''t go forward, we go back."


    "Going back?" Gu Changhuai asked.


    "Yes." Mo Hua nodded, "There are some problems with the way we came..."


    The line of cause and effect was broken a small piece...
