Yu'er, who was "fallen" in Mo Hua's hands, was following the kind-hearted little brother who was passing by, and walked towards Qingzhou City step by step.
The sky is dark and the shadows around it are lonely.
The night is covered with the forest.
But after a moment, it became noisy again, and it seemed that there were always monks who were secretly communicating.
Mo Hua's spiritual sense clearly sensed the traces of these people, but he did not know the identities and origins of these monks, so he did not show any sound or expression.
These monks were going out, the closer they were to Qingzhou City, the quieter they became.
It is midnight, and it is twenty miles away from Qingzhou City.
Yu'er left for several hours, her face turned pale and she was very tired, her calf seemed to be filled with lead, and she couldn't move her legs, but she seemed afraid of being abducted again, or she wanted to see her parents earlier, so she would not let them worry, so she gritted her teeth and endured it.
Mo Hua let go of his spiritual sense, looked around, and then touched Yuer's little head:
"Stay for one night nearby, and go to the city tomorrow morning..."
Yuer whispered: "Yuer is not tired..."
Mo Hua said: "It's too late, the city gate may not be opened. Let's have a good sleep first to nourish your spirits."
There are many immortal cities in the cultivation world.
Different state boundaries, different fairy cities, and access controls are somewhat different.
Judging from Mo Hua's previous experience of traveling out, some fairy cities have curfews at night.
Although some do not have one, if there are major changes, they will close the city gate at night, seal the gate with formations, and prohibit cultivators from entering and leaving.
If there is a curfew in Qingzhou City, then the two of them will have to spend the night outside the city gate.
There will be many monks outside the city gate, who will stop outside the city overnight and wait to enter the city early in the morning.
There are many people outside the city, and monks who spend the night are also mixed with fish and dragons. It is difficult to distinguish between good and evil. To be safe, it is better to avoid it.
It doesn’t matter if ink paintings are, but Yuer is different.
He is a "trafficked" child.
After all, Yu'er was a child and couldn't stand it, so she nodded obediently.
Outside Qingzhou City is a vast mountain forest.
Mo Hua was nearby and found a quiet and safe corner surrounded by mountains and rocks, covered by forests, and pointed his fingers to the ground and drew a warm fire array.
The warm and yellow light shone, dispelling the depression of the night and the coldness of the mountain wind, and also illuminating Yu'er's little face red.
Yu'er's eyes were bright, as if she had forgotten her fatigue. She looked at the ink painting and opened her mouth wide:
"Brother, the formation can still be drawn like this!"
There is no pen or paper. I just clicked my finger and drew the formation on the ground...
He is calm and handsome.
Looks like a master!
He has never seen anyone draw a formation like this.
Yuer looked admiring.
Mo Hua was a little proud and said, "When you grow up, I will teach you how to draw it like this!"
"Uh-huh!"
Yuer nodded repeatedly, looking forward to it.
The night is slightly cold and the mountain wind is flying.
Mo Hua took out a small blanket and put it on Yuer.
Yuer's whole body was wrapped in a blanket, and her small body was much warmer, but then she frowned and secretly looked at Mohua, but she pursed her lips and said nothing.
But Mo Hua saw through his thoughts and smiled and said, "Ele.me?"
Yuer's face turned slightly red and she said softly:
"Um……"
After being abducted and sold, he basically didn't eat anything. After being rescued by Mo Hua, he was busy rushing to the road. At this time, he rested for a while and became warm, and then he felt his stomach growling.
Mo Hua smiled and took out the jerky meat, mountain potatoes, and some mixed wild fruits and dried fruits, and roasted them on the warm fire formation.
The temperature of the fire is soaked in the ingredients.
The fragrance spreads with the warmth.
Yuer seemed to have seen a little cat dried with fish, and couldn't move her eyes.
The two of them were baking on fire while eating barbecue, roasted potatoes, and some dried fruits with wild game.
Yuer had a lot of fun eating.
After eating, Mo Hua took out the fruit brew for Yuer to drink.
The fruit is sweet, mellow and sweet, with a little wine, which dispels the fatigue and hard work that goes along the way.
“Good!”
After Yu'er finished drinking, she also learned to lick her lips by licking her lips.
After the two of them had enough food and drink, they fell asleep around the warm fire array and wrapped themselves in blankets.
Although Mo Hua is "sleeping", it is actually drawing formations in the sea of ​​consciousness, and at the same time, the spiritual consciousness is vigilant to prevent encountering monsters or other monks with ill intentions.
After a moment, Mo Hua was stunned.
He found Yuer's small body curled up.
Mo Hua opened her eyes and saw Yu'er's eyes closed and her little face was pale. She seemed to have seen something terrible in her dream. She was frightened and scared. Two tears were flowing out of her cheeks, pitiful and helpless, and she couldn't help but tremble.
Mo Hua sighed.
"Yuer..."
Mo Hua called out softly, and this sound brought some divine power and reached Yu'er's ears.
Yuer slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were blurred with tears.
Mo Hua waved to him and said warmly: "It's cold, come here."
Yu'er hesitated for a while, wiped her tears, wrapped her blanket, and ran to Mo Hua.
Mo Hua divided part of her blanket, wrapped Yu'er around, and then touched his head, "Don't think too much, you can see your parents at dawn..."
"Yeah." Yuer pointed her little head.
"Go to sleep..."
The sound of ink painting is very light, but gentle and firm.
Yuer's heart, which was only worried and scared, gradually calmed down, and her body no longer shivered from fear.
The blanket is much warmer too.
Yuer secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He secretly looked up and looked at Mo Hua. Seeing Mo Hua closed his eyes and rested, he didn't notice him, so he secretly approached Mo Hua.
There is a clear and peaceful atmosphere on the ink painting.
Yuer was satisfied and gradually closed her eyes and fell asleep.
This time he slept soundly.
There are no memories of fear and fear in the dream.
There is no greedy and ugly face of adults.
The heart is not stinged by the malice of the world.
No fear and despair.
No...
Those that appear occasionally in dreams since they remember...
In the wilderness, living people are sacrificed, flesh and blood are used as bait, and straw dogs are filled with pure evil thoughts, bloody and cruel, bizarre, and nightmare that nourishes the evils in the world...
...
A quiet night.
Yuer had a good night's sleep.
As soon as the next day dawn, Mo Hua took Yuer to Qingzhou City.
Outside Qingzhou City, there is a commander of the Daoting Office inspector.
Mo Hua was about to enter the city, but she was stopped.
The main reason is that he is too young, with a child, even younger than him, and among the crowd of monks, it looks very strange.
Jishi couldn't help asking:
"How old are you?"
"fifteen……"
"What are you doing in the city..."
"Go to study in the state..."
"Just one?"
"And my brother!" Mo Hua patted Yuer.
Yuer immediately stood up straight, raised her chest and raised her head, nodded repeatedly, indicating that Brother Mo Hua was right.
Shishi was in a little embarrassed.
The order he received was, "Any suspicious monks with young monks must be investigated one by one."
But is this suspicious if a young monk leads a young monk?
The rumor he heard was that a young master from the Gu family was abducted by human traffickers.
But strangely, the portrait of the young master cannot be revealed.
They can only check by age...
Jishi glanced at Yu'er, "This little boy looks like a young master."
He looked at the ink painting again and was confused in his heart.
Human traffickers... probably won't be so small.
Besides, if he is really a human trafficker, he should have tried to get out of the city, rather than trying to get into the city with such a big fanfare...
"It seems that I am too careless..."
Seeing the sergeant muttering, Mo Hua asked, "Is it...what happened?"
"Well, it's the Gu family..."
Shishi nodded, and halfway through his words, realizing that he had let go of his words, he immediately raised his face:
"Children, don't ask if you shouldn't!"
"oh……"
"Go into the city!"
"oh!"
So Mo Hua pulled Yuer through the city gate and entered Qingzhou City with a dignified look.
Qingzhou City is full of fireworks.
When you arrive in Qingzhou City, you basically enter the Ganxuezhou area with half your foot.
He could find a way to go to the Gandao Sect to worship.
But before that, I would hand over the "little burden" of Yu'er to his parents safely and soundly, otherwise I would not be at ease.
Qingzhou City is still relatively prosperous.
The streets were noisy, people came and went, and there was also a variety of things on the stalls on both sides of the alchemy talisman array, which was also dazzling.
Mo Hua and Yuer walked while walking.
Yuer looked around, full of curiosity.
Ink painting is thinking:
"How do you find Yuer's parents?"
"Gu family..."
Along the way, I heard several people mention "Gu Family"...
Among the human traffickers, Boss Jiang said that the steward before entering the city also mentioned...
Could Yuer be the young master of the Gu family?
Mo Hua asked Yu'er, "Yu'er, is your surname Gu?"
Yuer moved her eyes away from the roadside, strands of candied haws with difficulty. After thinking about it, she said half a beat slower:
"My surname is not Gu."
"Then your mother's surname is Gu?"
Yuer shook her head.
Ink painting frowned.
If you don’t have the surname Gu, it has nothing to do with the Gu family...
Yu'er looked at Mo Hua and said with shame: "Brother, I'm sorry, my mother didn't let me say my last name..."
"It's okay." Mo Hua comforted with a smile, "When you go out, you must be more alert, even if you do it."
Yuer still feels guilty.
Mo Hua bought Yuer a bunch of candied haws.
Yuer immediately became happy, biting and chewing, her mouth was red.
"Did you eat it for the first time?"
"Yeah." Yu'er nodded, "Mom won't let me eat it."
Mo Hua sighed.
He was a little confused.
Whose child is Yuer?
Don't eat candied haws...
Is it because the family is too poor to afford it, or is it too rich to be afraid of eating bad stomachs?
"Yuer, is your family big?"
"Yeah!" Yuer stretched out her small arm and drew a big circle, "It's very big!"
Mo Hua nodded, "That's the child of a big family..."
But it doesn't seem to be...
Children's perception is different from adults'.
When he was a child, he thought Tongxian City was very big and very long. The road from the south to the north of the city was very long...
But now he can finish this "very long" road in half an hour...
"Then do you have an impression of Qingzhou City?"
Ink painting asked again.
Yuer licked the candied haws, thought about it as much as possible, shook her head, "I don't know, I think it's almost the same..."
Mo Hua was stunned and nodded.
This is indeed.
These immortal cities of all sizes seem to be very different when they are seen.
But now it's troublesome...
No clues, it's hard to find...
Yu'er thought about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Brother! I remembered it! I have relatives in Qingzhou City, and my mother said she would take me to find relatives!"
"What relative?"
Yuer shook her head.
"What's your last name?"
Yuer still shook her head.
Mo Hua sighed.
Forget it, it's a clue at least.
After that, Mo Hua asked around and found a noodle restaurant at the gate of Qingzhou City and sat down.
He asked, the Gu family is Qingzhou City, no, including the most powerful family among the immortal cities of all sizes outside the Qianxuezhou area.
It is a fifth-grade family!
According to rumors in the city, the Gu family, a young master from some unknown lineage, was kidnapped by human traffickers and still has nowhere to go.
As for the young master, who is his surname and what he looks like, the Gu family did not disclose it to the public.
Perhaps it is because of its special identity and some taboos.
The Gu family only said that if you are under ten years old, you can tell the Gu family any clues about the abducted young monk. If the situation is true, the Gu family will be well rewarded.
You can even give an admission quota to the state community of a school student...
Enrollment quota...
Ink painting has been enrolled in the sect, but there is no need.
And he didn't know where the Gu family's son was.
He now wants to arrange the young master Yuer and find his family first.
"Go directly to Daotingsi?"
Mo Hua thought about it and shook her head.
Daotingsi in Qingzhou City is not familiar with ink paintings.
What's more, it seems that the Gu family is making a big deal now. Most of the Daoting Department's supervisors and Diansi go to find the young master of the Gu family, and may not take Yu'er's affairs seriously.
These are not the most important ones.
Mo Hua speculated that there were probably some monks in the Daotingsi who colluded with human traffickers...
This is also what Uncle Zhang Lan reminded him.
The Daotingsili is not that clean, and the interests of various Daotingsili are very complicated.
People’s hearts are separated from their belly. They are not afraid of ten thousand, but they are afraid of anything.
No outsiders are safe.
It is best to hand Yu'er over to his biological parents.
"There are relatives in Qingzhou City..."
"Then go door to door to ask?"
Mo Hua shook her head again.
Not even possible.
Those who can gain a foothold in Ganzhou have a large identity and background and a high threshold may not be able to get in.
And it's also a waste of time.
Similarly, if someone says he is Yu'er's "relative" and acts more intimately, Yu'er is young and it is unlikely to tell whether the other party is a relative or someone with ulterior motives...
In the dark, Mo Hua felt that both methods had some problems.
Once passed by outsiders, there will be changes.
This is an alarm that he occasionally feels in his mind after learning Tianji Decomposition. Although it is still very weak, not obvious, and not very accurate, it sometimes has miraculous effects when used as a reference for decision-making.
After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to use the simplest, stupidest, but also the most direct method:
Squat at the door!
When entering and leaving Qingzhou City, the gates are a must-pass place.
Qingzhou City is a hub connecting the academic community of Ganzhou.
Yuer's parents, as long as they want to find Yuer, they will sooner or later pass through Qingzhou City and appear at the gate of Qingzhou City.
When Mo Hua thought so, his heart suddenly jumped, as if the cause and effect he expected would follow some kind of secret and become a fact in the foreseeable future...
The heart was shaken by the ink painting.
This is...
The real calculation of the secret of heaven?
No, or rather, it is the prototype of the real Tianji decomposition...
In Mo Hua's mind, Mr. Zhuang's figure floated again. He clasped his hands and gestures, closed his eyes and meditated, and used his spiritual consciousness according to his master's appearance...
After a moment...
Nothing happened...
Mo Hua touched her chin.
He was a little suspicious that when the master calculated, he should just pretend to behave, so that he would look more "immortal" but in fact he was useless.
Now that he imitates his master, his mind is blank and he can't count anything.
Or because what he is learning now is only "Divine Consciousness Calculation", which is far from the level of "Tianji Consciousness Calculation".
It’s just that I have calculated a lot, and there will be a little bit of it in the sea of ​​consciousness, which is just a sign of the secret of heaven.
After all, the master never taught him "Yansuan Tianji"...
Mo Hua sighed.
He is not sure what Tianji is.
I don't know how to calculate it.
"Tianji Yanjue..."
"In the future, we will find ways to study and see if we can compare and refer to each other, learn from the real 'Tian Ji Derivative'..."
Mo Hua nodded.
You can't just be counted by others.
Occasionally, you have to calculate others...
Mo Hua turned his head and looked at Yu'er, and reminded him:
"We're waiting here. Pay attention to the people you know, your parents, relatives, teachers, or your carriages and horses at the gate, tell me..."
"Yeah!" Yuer nodded.
Afterwards, the boss served two bowls of noodles with big and small.
While eating the Mo Hua, he was thinking about the "Tianji Yanshu" in his mind.
Yu'er learned to draw ink, ate noodles "huhu". Occasionally raised her head and saw that draw ink was by her side. She felt a little more at ease, and then continued to lower her head to eat noodles.
It seems that as long as you follow Mo Hua, those bloody, cruel, and evil nightmare will gradually disappear...
Mo Hua and the other two kept squatting at the gate.
At the gate of Qingzhou City, there were traffic and all kinds of monks came and went.
But I kept squatting for several days and ate noodles for five or six days, but I still didn’t get any gains.
Mo Hua began to wonder if he had guessed wrongly...
"It should be true..."
Mo Hua frowned and focused on thinking. In his mind, a carriage and a face were faintly traced...
...
At this time, Qingzhou City, Gu family.
Inside a quiet but luxurious hall.
A beautiful woman in the palace dress waved her bare hands and shook the gorgeous porcelain screens of the house to pieces, and even cracks appeared on the walls reinforced by the formation.
The maid outside the room looked slightly pale, lowered her head and ears, and quietly retreated.
Opposite the woman, there was a man in gorgeous clothes smiling bitterly, with a very handsome appearance, behind her cultivation level.
"Wan'er, don't be angry..."
The woman in the palace dress had a slightly red eyes and was filled with anger, "Why am I not angry? The dignified Shangguan family... can the blood of the direct descendants be robbed? Do you think I am a fool?"
The man in the gorgeous clothes said softly: "Wan'er, no one wants..."
"Shangguan Yi!" the woman said hatefully, "Yu'er is my child. You don't feel sorry for me, I feel sorry for me, Yu'er is so young and so well-behaved... He is my life!"
The handsome eyes of the man in the gorgeous clothes were stained with pain, "Yu'er is also my flesh and blood, how could I not feel sorry for..."
"Then what did your Shangguan family do?" the woman asked sternly.
The man in the Chinese clothing said bitterly: "Wan'er, you are also from the Shangguan family now. Don't say such words anymore. If you let your father know..."
"So what if you know? He was dissatisfied with this marriage and looked down on me..."
The woman in the palace dress looked at the man, and the love in her beautiful eyes became as cold as a knife, and even with deep hatred.
"He doesn't like me, so he doesn't like the grandson of Yuer."
"Let me tell you, if Yu'er is gone, I will hate you Shangguan's family for the rest of your life!"
The woman's tone was trembling, both with determination and the pain of being heartbroken with the one she loved:
"Including you...Shangguan Yi!"
The man's heart was like a knife, "Wan'er..."
The woman in the palace dress said hatefully: "Now tell me truthfully, who kidnapped Yuer? What did you find out? Where is Yuer?"
The man sighed with a sad face.
He knew that his wife was extremely affectionate and loved her son as her life. He didn't dare to tell the truth before, for fear that she would be too sad, so he hid everything from her and said that he had already known the clues and would be able to find Yuer soon.
But now he can't hide it, so he had to say truthfully:
"This incident seems to be...it's just a coincidence..."
"Yu'er went out to watch the lanterns, and a bunch of people stared at him, but in the blink of an eye, Yu'er disappeared..."
"Let's go check it out, but the secret of heaven is like water, and there is no trace..."
"I don't know who kidnapped Yu'er and why, but I can vaguely find out that after Yu'er was kidnapped, someone was transporting him out..."
"That's a group of human traffickers..."
"They divided several groups of people from Qingzhou City and walked out in batches, as if they were going to send Yu'er to Qianzhou, and they didn't know where..."
"In these days, the Shangguan family, Gu family, and Daotingsi have launched a large number of monks to investigate."
"The Shangguan family is in the dark, the Gu family and the Daotingsi are in the open, so you can check a batch, kill a batch, kill a batch, and check a batch... No matter how many you kill, there are always some inconspicuous fish that escape the net, and you can always send Yuer away by chance..."
"It seems that all together have been calculated..."
"So, the elders and the others speculated..." The man felt chill in his heart and said in pain, "It is a powerful person who has a thorough understanding of the secrets of heaven, a magic plan, a ghost plot, and a secretly set up the overall situation, wanting to..."
The man paused, took a deep breath, and his voice trembled.
"Killed Yu'er, the two major families of Shangguan and Wenren, and the first direct marriage in a thousand years, and the child he gave birth to..."
