Chapter 153: Searching for Bailian Gorge
Wang Dong was about to leave when Mo Juren suddenly remembered something else and asked again,
"In the past, Liu Feng had a mentor who gave him advice. Do you know his whereabouts?"
Wang Dong recalled and said,
"Hero, are you talking about Zheng Hui? He disappeared on the day when the Liu family was exterminated, and we in Changfeng Sect have been unable to find him."
The master lawyer named Zheng Hui might have known some inside stories about the Gu seller and Granny Jinhua, but unfortunately he just disappeared.
Then Mo Juren said again,
"Can't find him? You should have heard about this man's connection with the Gu seller, right?"
When Wang Dong heard Mo Juren asking about the matter related to the Gu seller, he smiled bitterly and answered after a while,
"...To be honest, it's not just Zheng Hui, but our entire Changfeng Sect is now inseparable from this Gu seller."
"Now our entire sect has almost become the eagle claw of the Gu seller, being driven around by others and having no freedom."
Mo Juren sneered behind his back.
"Oh? There is such a thing? It seems that you have a deep connection with this Gu seller!"
But he didn't care about the life or death of Chang Fengmen, and continued to ask,
"Now that we're talking about this, do you know Granny Jinhua?"
Wang Dong was puzzled for a moment and said,
"Granny Jinhua? I've never heard of her."
Granny Jinhua was related to Liu Ya and the Liu family, and Wang Dong had his reasons for not knowing about it. Mo Juren just thought it was a casual test.
Seeing that Wang Dong really didn't know much, he was about to let him go, but in the end he asked casually,
"What kind of business do those Gu sellers come to your Changfeng Sect for?"
Wang Dong immediately complained,
"I don't know what they are trying to say. Recently, almost all of our Changfeng disciples have been recruited."
"He spent the whole day investigating some of the wilderness areas west of Jiayuan City. It seems like he was looking for some special place?"
Mo Juren was shocked when he heard this. What was there to the west of Jiayuan City? Could it be that he was looking for the ancestral land of his Mo family?
After all, the high mountain called Baoyuntai is located in the southwest of Jiayuan City, and the Gu seller had tried desperately to get his Nuanyang Jade. Isn’t that the key to their Mohist inheritance?
Putting all these together, it is very likely that the person selling the poison has already set his sights on the Mohist inheritance site.
Mo Juren had no way to deal with the behavior of the people selling Gu for the time being. After all, behind them was Diao Yuanzheng, the legendary foundation-building master.
One can only hope that they won't find the entrance to the place of inheritance so quickly, or that they will be blocked by those powerful formations and traps after finding the entrance.
Finally, Mo Juren turned his attention back to finding his third wife Liu Ya. He asked Wang Dong to get information while he found a place to hide.
An hour later, Wang Dong returned to the headquarters hall alone. He looked everywhere but could not find any trace of Mo Juren.
When he least expected it, Mo Juren's voice sounded again behind him,
"Well, have you found anything in this hour?"
"Reporting to the hero, according to our investigation, Wang Ya has not been to Quling City for at least half a year."
"When Liu Feng was here, he planted spies on every passing passenger ship to specifically inquire about Liu Ya's whereabouts."
"Later, due to the demise of the Liu family, this project was stopped half a year ago, and the manpower has been diverted to other uses."
Mo Juren was not happy.
"Huh, so you can't find out any information about Liu Ya at all?"
Wang Dong said with great fear,
"Please forgive me, if Liu Ya comes to Quling City in the near future, we will collect the information and tell you. But I don't know how to contact you?"
After Wang Dong finished speaking, he waited for a long time, but there was no sound behind him. When Wang Dong turned around with a cold sweat on his forehead, he could not see any figure... Mo Juren had already left quietly, then got on a passenger ship and went all the way to the Bailian Gorge.
Unable to get any news about the Third Madam from Changfeng Gate, he had no choice but to give it a try and come here again, hoping to make some discoveries.
Taking advantage of the situation and sneaking off the boat, Mo Juren began searching along both banks.
The so-called Bailian Gorge is actually a slightly larger waterfall that rushes directly into the river from the cliff.
Mo Juren went to check and found that the white silk was just an ordinary stream of water.
Then he jumped onto the cliff and walked along the river. Mo Juren frequently activated the Sky Eye Technique, hoping to discover some magical fluctuations of some formation or the like.
In order to avoid actually meeting Liu Ya and being accused of exploring her secrets, Mo Juren found an excuse for himself.
He took out the gold-eating rat from the spirit beast bag and deliberately held it in his hand to test it around.
Because I heard from Master Zhang from Tainan Market that this gold-eating rat can also find mineral veins.
With this layer of cover, even if he was discovered, he could still make an excuse and say that he was here to look for mineral veins.
However, it is not clear how the gold-eating rat searches for it.
What Mo Juren did was to find a place where he suspected something was wrong, put the little guy down on the ground, and let him walk on his own, just like a puppy smelling the scent to find food.
However, the main focus is still on using the Sky Eye Technique to find the formation.
After Mo Juren went upstream and found nothing, he expanded his search and even went to the other side of the waterfall.
There were vast fields on both sides of the river, but there was nothing unusual.
After a lot of trouble, Mo Juren still couldn't find the answer and had to give up the trip.
Instead, the gold-eating rat seemed to have discovered some movement on a small barren hill and wanted to burrow underground.
This hill was all rocks and dirt, and it looked like there was no grass at all. Mo Juren took out a low-level magic weapon and dug down along the ground. Sure enough, the stones that came out were all of an unusual blue-gray color.
I threw a piece to the gold-eating rat, but it sniffed it casually and let go, still trying to burrow underground.
It seems that there must be metal that it is interested in underground.
Mo Juren took out a pen and paper from his storage bag, described the topography of the area clearly, and made a map of the mineral veins, preparing to have the Jingjiao Society arrange craftsmen to come and investigate in detail.
All kinds of mineral veins that can be mined are also great assets for the gang. If there is value in mining here, it can be regarded as an unexpected gain of this trip.
Then Mo Juren grabbed the reluctant gold-eating rat and went back.
As for where the third wife went, Mo Juren has already done this much, and I'm afraid the only thing left is to leave it to fate.
After returning to Wenjian Villa in Mopan Mountain, Mo Juren took Zhang Qing away and returned to Canghe Cave hand in hand.
Before arriving at the formation, Mo Juren saw that there seemed to be a guest in front of his cave.
They saw a woman wearing gorgeous clothes, with a dignified figure and a noble temperament, sitting under the shade of a tree with her back to them on the bank of the small river in front of the valley.
As Mo Juren and the other man approached, the woman stood up and suddenly turned around, revealing to be an ordinary girl with ordinary looks.
"Red Lotus Wanderer!?" Mo Juren thought to himself.
The ordinary girl in front of him was the one who let Hu Pinggu and his wife go first at the riverside that day, and then she stayed behind and killed three powerful cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage in one breath.
Not only did she hide her beauty, she also hid her true strength!
But I don’t know why she came to my house this time?
