Asking about longevity

Chapter 411 Cause of Death

Situ Fang asked the Lu family monk, "What is this mine used for?"

The Lu family monk's face turned pale and he gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Situ Fang threatened:

"Someone died here. If you don't tell me, Dao Tingsi will get to the bottom of it. Your Lu family will definitely be involved."

The monk of the Lu family said: "If a few mining cultivators die, they will die. I, the Lu family, will pay for their spiritual stones."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to have figured it out and gained confidence.

"Yes, that's right! A few mine repairmen, my Lu family will pay for the spiritual stones..."

He sneered, "This mine extends in all directions, and there are some abandoned cave entrances, which is normal."

"These mine cultivators didn't know what was wrong. They got in by themselves and were... eaten by monsters. What does it have to do with our Lu family?"

"A few despicable lives, they deserve to die!"

Situ Fang heard the anger rising and wanted to beat him.

Mo Hua quickly stopped her, "Sister Situ, it's useless to be angry."

Situ Fang frowned, but still stopped.

Mo Hua then turned his head and said to the Lu family monk:

"Generally, the death of a mine repairman is an accident. It is enough to pay some spiritual stones, but this time is different. This time it is murder, and it is a violation of the "Law of Tao"..."

The Lu family sneered: "Then who killed them?"

Everyone was silent for a while.

The scene was so bloody and miserable that we really didn’t know who killed him, let alone whether he was killed by someone else.

The Lu family monk smiled and said: "You can't find the murderer, how can you say it's murder? I think it's these mining repairmen who are so bold that they broke into this mine and tried to steal my Lu family's minerals, but they were trapped to death. Oh, and was eaten by the monster again..."

The Lu family monks became more confident as they spoke, and their expressions became more arrogant.

Mo Hua rolled his eyes, smiled brightly, and said:

"I understand, it was you who killed these mine repairmen for profit!"

The Lu family monk was stunned, "You kid, what nonsense are you talking about? I don't know them at all, not to mention these are mine repairmen. Mine repairmen are all poor people. What wealth do I have to kill them?"

Mo Hua said: "It's easy to start if you don't know them. Besides, the wealth is not exposed. If you don't kill them and search their storage bags, how do you know they don't have any wealth on them?"

The Lu family monk was angry, "You are spitting blood!"

Nonsense, do you even need to say this?

Mo Hua said silently in his heart.

Then he said with some regret: "Since you don't want to recruit me, I can only take you to Daotingsi, put you in Dao Prison, and then torture and interrogate you..."

The Lu family monk sneered, "You don't dare.

"Why don't you dare?"

"The boss and my Lu family..."

Halfway through his words, his expression changed and he did not dare to say any more.

Mo Hua's eyes moved slightly, and he understood in his heart.

Since the Lu family is the largest family in Nanyue City and owns the most mines, they must deal with the boss.

And it seems that this kind of "dealing" is very unusual.

On the surface, Daotingsi and the Lu family go their own way.

If something goes wrong, Daotingsi will also investigate and hold the Lu family accountable.

But behind the scenes, it is estimated that there will inevitably be some transactions.

Mo Hua thought for a moment and suddenly sneered:

"Even if the boss has a relationship with the Lu family, it has nothing to do with you..."

"You are just a young cultivator of the Lu family, and you have five lives of mine cultivators. Do you think the Lu family will protect you, or will the head of the family come forward to protect you?"

"Do you think you are worthy?"

The Lu family monk felt a chill in his heart, and the arrogance disappeared from his face.

Mo Hua continued:

"We will take you back and put you in a Taoist prison. We will tell the outside world that you killed five mine cultivators..."

"What do you think the Lu family will do? Will they protect you and cause public outrage, or will they let you take the blame to settle the matter?"

The Lu family monk's eyes were shocked.

Mo Hua saw his expression and sighed again, pretending to be aloof and afraid of trouble:

"Actually, we don't want to take care of this matter..."

"But those mine repairmen always go to Daotingsi to cause trouble, and Daotingsi can't do anything about it."

"The higher ups need an explanation, and Sister Situ also needs to give an explanation."

"It doesn't actually matter who killed these five mine repairmen."

"No one cares what the truth is."

"What everyone needs is just one person who can take the blame, admit the crime, and settle the matter..."

Mo Hua patted the Lu family monk on the shoulder, "It has been decided from above that this person is you..."

The Lu family monk suddenly stirred, "You lied to me!"

But his tone was trembling, and he had no confidence in his heart.

He didn't know Mo Hua's identity, but he knew Situ Fang's identity.

Situ Fang is indeed the Dian Si of Nanyue City Dao Tingsi.

On the surface, she was repairing those mines and finding out the truth.

But the water in Daotingsi is very muddy and the people are very shady. They do one thing on the surface but another behind the scenes.

He wasn't sure which side this Situ Fang belonged to.

Moreover, there are so many disciples in the Lu family, why was he chosen to lead the way?

Mo Hua winked at Situ Fang.

Situ Fang turned dark and smiled sadly:

"Take him back. The headmaster has an explanation. The head of the Lu family... a mere disciple in the middle stage of Qi refining will definitely not be reluctant to part with him."

Bai Zisheng reached out to catch him.

The Lu family monk struggled and shouted angrily: "You have no evidence, you can't catch me, and you can't convict me!"

Mo Hua slapped his head and said, "By the way, we need to create some evidence."

After saying that, Mo Hua took out more than ten spirit stones, crushed them into pieces and stuffed them into the hands of the Lu family monks.

The Lu family monk was stunned, "What are you doing?"

The ink painting "called a deer a horse" said: "These spiritual stones are evidence that you seek wealth and murder!"

The Lu family monks found it incredible.

This kid doesn't even want to pretend anymore?

Is there such a blatant frame-up?

The Lu family monk quickly threw all the spiritual stones on the ground, "I don't have any, it's not me..."

Mo Hua sneered, "If you don't eat the toast, will you be punished with a drink?"

The Lu family monk asked, "What else can you do?"

Mo Hua's eyes moved slightly, a hint of evil appeared on his face, and his voice was low and a little sinister:

"Lock you into this cave, seal it with a formation, and let you stay with these five dead mine cultivators..."

"In a few days, we will bring people over to investigate. When everyone finds out that you were at the crime scene and still with the deceased, you will be unable to defend yourself."

The Lu family monk said: "I will say... you framed me!"

Mo Hua instantly looked innocent again, "Who would believe it?"

The Lu family monk's eyelids twitched wildly.

"Oh, that's right." Mo Hua remembered again, "You may not be able to survive until that day. I don't know what is in this cave. It can eat mineral repairers, and it will probably eat you..."

"It's possible that just after I locked you in, you were eaten by it the next day..."

"But that's just right. Let's just say that you seek wealth and murder, and we both end up dead."

"Anyway, no one else will know what happens here..."

The Lu family monk looked at the ink painting in disbelief.

Who is this kid, and how can he trick people into doing this thing?

The Lu family monk nodded helplessly and said:

"Okay, I promise you."

Before he finished speaking, he took advantage of Mo Hua's carelessness, got up and ran, but before he could run a few steps, he felt his body tightening and being restrained by something.

Looking down, he found that his whole body had been locked by light blue water-shaped chains.

The Lu family monks were shocked.

What kind of spell is this?

Mo Hua sneered.

Bai Zisheng stepped forward and dragged the Lu family monk back.

Mo Hua pretended to lose his patience, winked at Bai Zisheng, and said:

"Seal him in, and I'll draw the formation."

Situ Fang hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything.

Bai Zisheng raised his eyebrows, then pulled the Lu family monk's collar and dragged him into the rotten cave where the mine monk died tragically.

The Lu family monks were frightened.

Only then did he realize that this kid was serious!

He struggled and begged quickly: "Let me go! Let me go! I will say anything!"

Bai Zisheng glanced at the ink painting.

Mo Hua nodded.

Bai Zisheng dragged the Lu family monk back again and threw him in front of the ink painting.

Mo Hua looked at him and said, "I'm going to ask you a few questions. If you answer them well, I'll let you go. If you have something to hide, go and accompany those mine repairmen..."

The Lu family cultivator looked gloomy and nodded.

"What is this mine used for?"

The Lu family monk shook his head.

Mo Hua's eyes turned cold and he immediately wanted to send him in.

The Lu family monk quickly said: "I, I... really don't know!"

Mo Hua's eyes narrowed slightly, "Then what do you know?"

"I...I only know..."

The Lu family monk hesitated and sighed, "I only know that these mines were built by the family owner, and the formations inside were painted by the family owner himself."

"These mines were sealed after they were built. No one has ever entered..."

"I don't know what's inside."

"The head of the family has strict orders. No monks can know about the mine, and no monks are allowed to enter..."

The head of the Lu family...

Mo Hua frowned, and then asked:

"How did these mine repairmen die?"

The Lu family monk said nonchalantly: "I don't even know about this... How do I know that they will sneak into these mines?"

"You didn't notice?"

"They came here in the middle of the night. It's so eerie here in the middle of the night. Who would run into this mine if they had nothing to do?"

Mo Hua's eyes narrowed, "Gloomy?"

The Lu family monk knew that he had made a mistake and kept silent.

Mo Hua said: "This cave may be damp or dark, but it's not too gloomy..."

"This..." The Lu family monk's eyes dodge.

"Don't you want to say it?"

The Lu family monk nodded, and then saw Mo Hua's unkind expression. He was frightened and shook his head again.

"Tell me why it's so spooky."

The Lu family monk looked hesitant, swallowed, and said slowly:

"It is said that there are ghosts in this mine at night..."

Mo Hua was startled, "Ghost?"

The Lu family monk nodded, "Every night, there are bursts of yin energy, and there are creaking sounds, and the entire mine vibrates slightly, as if someone is digging something..."

The Lu family monk wiped the cold sweat from his forehead:

"Some people say that the mining cultivator who died in vain in the mine turned into a ghost cultivator. At night, when the yin energy is strong, he will return to the mine to mine as he did in life..."

Mo Hua frowned.

It seems that the mine repairmen thought of stealing the mines, but they encountered an unknown sneak in the mines at night, and that's why they died tragically.

But from this point of view, there are still many doubts.

Mo Hua asked over and over again.

The Lu family monk stammered, but what he said was pretty accurate. It seemed like he wasn't lying.

As for the more confidential matters, he, a disciple of the Lu family in the middle stage of Qi refining, might not know about it.

Mo Hua inquired about some news about the Lu family, then nodded and said:

"Since you are so obedient, I won't embarrass you."

The monks of the Lu family felt a big stone in their hearts.

Mo Hua wondered again: "If the Lu family knew, you told me all this..."

The big stone that had just fallen in the Lu family monk's heart was blocked again, and he quickly said:

"Little friend, little master, little ancestor... please don't tell anyone..."

If he told it, the Lu family would not let him go.

Mo Hua reluctantly said: "Okay..."
