Hidden moth

Chapter 187 Green Water Floating in the Sky and Clouds Sweeping the Ground

The first question He Kao asked Feng Zilong was what his name was. Feng Zilong replied that his name was Gao Chenshu in an attempt to get away with it.

But he was not speaking casually. Gao Chenshu was a real person and a cleaner under Ku Cha, codenamed Redwood. He lived in Minzhou City, Shanmin Province and was now at the second level of cultivation.

The family massacre disguised as a fire accident that Feng Zilong confessed to was committed by him and Gao Chenshu together.

Don't expect Feng Zilong to be obedient. Although Ku Cha didn't allow his men to contact each other privately, Feng Zilong still took advantage of the opportunity to carry out the mission together and secretly found out Gao Chenshu's identity.

His idea was very simple, which was to collude with or use Gao Chenshu to do some profitable private work... When he confessed the past just now, Feng Zilong also confessed Gao Chenshu's situation.

Feng Zilong had privately investigated Gao Chenshu, who had been on the same mission with him. So, had Gao Chenshu done the same thing? Following this clue, perhaps we could find more of Kucha's "disciples."

Going to Gao Chenshu was an active method, but Ye Liangcheng also had a passive method, which was to wait in this secret base. There must be someone like Feng Zilong who couldn't help but come back here again...

After listening to Ye Liangcheng's plan, He Kao asked again: "That's a good idea, but do you have a specific plan?"

Ye Liangcheng: "Senior, do you have anything else to say?"

He Kao: “It can’t be said to be an explanation, it’s just a reminder.

If I hadn't come today, you would have fallen into Feng Zilong's hands. You're in the open, he's in the dark. Even if you hadn't drunk the poison, he would have found other ways to plot against you.

Think about it again, who are Ku Cha's other subordinates and what will they do?

Even though you have installed a trigger alarm, it is not omnipotent. And you can't wait here for them 24 hours a day, there will always be time to leave the office.

And even if you can stay here every day, you will put yourself in danger."

Ye Liangcheng: "Then what should I do?"

He Kao: "I'm just reminding you of the dangers. Don't ask me about everything. Think carefully about what you can do."

Ye Liangcheng blinked for a long time, as if he regarded this matter as a test question given by Senior Huo Qing. He thought about it and came up with several solutions.

Since the martial arts training ground and the underground dojo are very secretive and cannot be found by ordinary people, he can just hire a few more security guards like he did before to be responsible for patrolling and feeding the dogs on weekdays. He can't always be alone here.

This abandoned park has a large building area and the various spatial structures are quite complex. I am afraid no one can figure out all the situations now. He will build another secret base, no, two.

The first base is his own secret hiding place. He does not need to be in the open all the time. He will only show up when necessary and remain vigilant.

It seemed like he would be out and about quite a bit, sometimes literally, other times in hiding.

The second secret base was a warehouse, where all the valuable or useful things left by Ku Cha were stored, and a letter was left in the underground dojo.

The general content of the letter could be similar to what he introduced to Feng Zilong, but it needed to add some details, change the tone, and emphasize certain things.

For example, Master Ku Cha died in an accident half a year ago, and now a senior Huo Qing has come. Senior Huo Qing temporarily ordered Ye Liang to be the contact person of this faction.

If Ku Cha's former disciples want to restore their status in the sect, continue to receive the teachings of secret techniques, and receive various resource support, they must first reveal their identities and past behavior to ensure that they are trustworthy.

The letter also includes contact information. If anyone sees the letter, they can contact Ye Liangcheng. If a meeting is necessary, Ye Liangcheng will inform them of the time and place...

He Kao was quite satisfied with the plan proposed by Ye Liangcheng. This kid was a little bit clueless, but that didn't matter. All the things he experienced were opportunities for growth.

At least at this moment, he has begun to think independently and proactively.

He Kao nodded and said, "Since you've thought of it, let's do it. Anyway, with Feng Zilong as an example, there are probably quite a few vicious cleaners trained by Ku Cha. You must not take it lightly, nor be soft-hearted."

Ye Liangcheng noticed a strange word in this sentence: "Cleaner? Senior, what do you mean by cleaner?"

He Kao sighed: "Leave me an email address, I'll send you some information, you'll understand after reading it, and it can also answer more of your questions...

Once you have completed the arrangements I just made, I will come to see you again and teach you other techniques then."

After leaving this place, He Kao gave Ye Liangcheng a set of information, which was mainly divided into two parts. The first part was an introduction to magic, magic schools, and magicians, so that Ye Liangcheng would not be kept in the dark forever.

The other part of the content is an introduction to the Huiming Shi family and the results of the clan law hall's report on the handling of the Huiming Shi family, including who did what and what punishment they received.

Of course, the identities of Hu Shulue and Gu Jiang were also mentioned. When the clan hall intervened in the investigation, the two had already died.

The information clearly states that Gu Jiang is Ku Cha. He secretly trained a group of sorcerers, taught them secret techniques privately, and sent them out specifically to do some work that the Shi family was not convenient to do openly.

The head of the Shi family called it the cleaning department, while Gu Jiang called these people cleaners.

After reading the information, Ye Liangcheng realized that he was also a cleaner mentioned by Gu Jiang, and his enemy Hu Shulue was actually in the same group with Gu Jiang... It was difficult for outsiders to understand Ye Liangcheng's feelings. In short, he bought a lot of paper money and gold ingots, found an intersection and burned them silently for a long time, and began to make various arrangements the next day.

There was someone behind He Kao. Although Elder Jiang asked him to handle it himself, he had no intention of letting him hide anything, so he "reported" the matter in detail to Jiang Daozhen.

He also asked when Jiang Daozhen would be able to return to Qiyuan, as some questions were inconvenient to ask by phone or email, and it would be best to ask in person. Jiang Daozhen didn't wait, but a week later he waited for Master Gudi.

Elder Gu Chun was not nominally here to look for He Kao. He often traveled around the world. Some time ago, he borrowed a flying artifact, a cloud, from the clan hall, and flew around freely.

That day he drifted to Hengzhou and visited Qihuang Lingyuan.

Lin Qingshuang usually sits in the medicine shop in the city, with Meng Ya helping her. On weekends, she usually returns to Qihuang Lingyuan. At this time, Xiaopang will also come from Qiyuan to ask his master various problems in cultivation.

It's easier to get things done with someone close to you, He Kao said hello to Gao Xue'e. Although the project team often had to work overtime on weekends, Xiaopang always got leave smoothly, as long as it didn't delay the work progress.

On this day, He Kao accompanied Xiaopang to Qihuang Lingyuan again, because Lin Qingshuang asked Xiaopang to bring a message to him, asking him to go for dinner when he is free... At such times, He Kao would usually go into the kitchen and cook two dishes by himself.

He has recently learned a lot of new dishes, all of which are made with local ingredients in Qihuang Lingyuan.

After practicing the art of identifying poisons and medicines, and starting to learn the art of identifying objects, He Kao did not yet become a master of identification, but instead became a better cook and expert in wild gathering.

Qihuang Lingyuan is such a large area of mountains and fields, not only with a wide variety of plants and trees, but also with many free-range meat ingredients. He can find a lot of ingredients, whether they are ordinary ingredients or spiritual medicines for cultivation, and he can figure out how to make them more delicious.

It was said that many of the alchemists in the Danding Sect were skilled in cooking, regardless of whether they were willing to cook on a daily basis. This was likely a side benefit of practicing the art of appraising herbs and the subsequent art of alchemy.

He Kao is not a disciple of Danding Sect, but his cooking skills are improving unknowingly.

He Kao had prepared the dishes and was just about to eat with Lin Qingshuang and two disciples when Elder Gu, riding a cloud, drifted over. A divine message reached him from mid-air: "Sister, just eating! What a coincidence I arrived!"

Not only was there this greeting in his mind, but there was also information about his identity and purpose. Elder Gu claimed that he was touring various places and had heard that Lin Qingshuang had broken through the fourth level of cultivation and had accepted two proud disciples, so he came to congratulate him.

Lin Qingshuang quickly led the three younger generations to greet them. Gu Chun walked in with a smile and sat down to eat with them. The old man had a good appetite and was halfway through the meal when he felt he hadn't had enough. He Kao suddenly went into the kitchen and cooked two more dishes.

At noon, Lin Qingshuang did not allow Xiaopang and Mengya to drink because they had to take a teaching test in the afternoon. She only allowed He Kao to accompany Elder Gu for a few drinks.

After a cup of tea after dinner, Elder Gu of course wanted to take a tour. He said to Lin Qingshuang: "Junior sister, you still need to teach the disciples, so you don't need to accompany me. Just let Xiaokao lead the way and introduce it."

Gu Chun asked He Kao to accompany him to the mountains. Lin Qingshuang glared at Elder Gu from behind. With Gu Chun's cultivation level, he could definitely sense it, but the old man just smiled and pretended not to know.

He Kao was already very familiar with this place, but he still didn't fully understand the relationship between the characteristics of spiritual medicines and the earth's atmosphere, and the mysteries of the various formation arrangements. He could take this opportunity to consult Gu Chun, the master in this field.

He Kao, acting as Elder Gu's tour guide, sighed as he spoke, "You can't even pick up a speck of dust, you're just a white cloud flying by... You're truly unrestrained!"

Gu Chun laughed and said, "I didn't drink much at noon, why did you start reciting poetry?

I'm in the Zongfa Hall, responsible for monitoring the behavior of all the disciples of the Shu sect, so of course I'm a bit arrogant. I also have to thank you for eradicating the Huiming Shi family, which allowed the Yiduoyun artifact to see the light of day again, so I borrowed it to use.

But some people just can’t stand my carefree attitude. They always try to persuade me to put this artifact back, saying that I can borrow it next time I need it…”

This flying artifact, a cloud, is not Elder Gu’s personal property, but is collected by the clan law hall and will only be used when necessary.

Gu Chun had borrowed a cloud when he went abroad to deal with Zeng Hongye. But that matter had been settled long ago, and he had never returned it. With this magical artifact in hand, everything he did was much more convenient.

But it is also difficult to say that he is using public resources for personal gain, because he said that after the large-scale census of disciples in the sect last October, he still had to travel around to verify the situation.

He Kao echoed, "This divine artifact shouldn't be shelved, or hidden away in a secret vault like the Huiming Shi family did. You should use it first."

Gu Chun smiled: "You are a sensible child! I will pass this on to the other elders later, so that they don't always have opinions about me."

He Kao didn't dare to respond, and quickly lowered his head and said, "I am just discussing the matter at hand, and I have no intention of targeting any elder.

It's just that it's too tiring for you to monitor the behavior of all the martial arts disciples! You're busy all day long, and you're exhausted and have no time to rest. Of course, you should relax more."

Gu Chun stopped and turned to look at He Kao with a half-smile on his face: "Hard work? Excuse me, which eye of yours can tell that I, an old man, have worked hard?"

They were now deep in the mountains, surrounded by lush greenery. In late August, the weather in Qiyuan and Hengzhou was still very hot, but here it felt refreshingly cool.

Wherever there are springs in the mountains, there are streams. Below where the two of them had just passed, the springs formed a series of cascading waterfalls in the steep part of the mountain, and in the low-lying part here, they gathered into a clear pool.

Beside the pond there was a thick elm tree that was so thick that two people could hold it together. Its dense shade blocked out the scorching sun from the sky. Under the tree was a flat white stone, and Gu Chun was standing on it.

A breeze blew, and the old man's figure seemed to blend into the scenery of the mountains. He was indescribably free and easy. Where was the sign of worry and sorrow?
When the mountain wind died down a bit, the water surface gradually became flat, reflecting the surrounding peaks. All you could see was green water floating in the sky and white clouds sweeping the ground. You couldn't tell whether the clouds in the pool of water were once the flying artifacts.
