The rest of the students searched the dormitory, but they couldn't find Yan Dan's whereabouts. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Like Gu Kuan, there was no corpse, no traces, and Yan Dan was as if he had never appeared.

There was silence in the dormitory, and finally Gu Yan spoke: "Little saint, could it be that Yan Dan absconded with Gu Kuan's corpse?"

"Yes, yes!" someone immediately responded, "Now that I think about it, in fact, who killed Gu Kuan, Yan Dan is the most suspicious, what Gu Kuan has a knife wound on his back, Gu Kuan's body suddenly disappeared, maybe Yan Dan is directing and acting in a scene at all!"

Everyone seemed to have found a reasonable explanation and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

People are always like this, afraid of the unexplainable, and constantly looking for security by justifying themselves.

It was clear that Yan Dan could not be Gu Kuan's murderer, otherwise he would have many reasons to explain Gu Kuan's disappearance, and would not have used such a clumsy and inconceivable excuse.

Looking down along the trail of Egret Mountain, the fog on Egret Mountain was very heavy, and after not going far towards the mountain, the mountain fog shrouded and gradually spread up along the narrow steps.

Jia Chen lowered his head and squeezed his sweaty palm tightly.

Yan Dan came to Mr. according to his own news, but he disappeared mysteriously, in this process, Gu Yan obviously never left his sight, so does it mean that among these remaining students, there are also accomplices of the demon tree.

As long as he quietly raised his head, his gaze quietly swept over the rest of the people, who could he trust now?

－－－－

The students moved back to the temple, because two bizarre incidents occurred in a row, and many students dismantled their desks and chairs, made their own wooden sticks, and carried self-defense, and the tall He Panying became popular.

He Panying was born in a family of military generals, and now in the peaceful and prosperous era, there is no way out for martial arts, and he is looked down upon, so the He family simply let the juniors abandon martial arts and cultivate literature, and sent He Panying to the Egret Academy.

may be because of genetics, He Panying's people have never been as good as his sticks, and his classmates look down on him, and the rude and mean Jia Chen even gave him a nickname called Monkey (He) Climbing Cherry Blossoms, which means that monkeys climb cherry trees, and coarse people eat fine grain.

Now many classmates are surrounding him, and the sturdy He Panying gives people a sense of security as long as he holds a stick in his hand.

He Panying actively instructed his classmates how to disassemble the tables and chairs to make self-defense weapons, and also took the time to teach them a few simple stick techniques, and even simply reorganized them according to the art of war.

The usually stupid big man has turned into a leader who can stand alone, which makes many classmates feel that they are looking away from their usual days.

He Panying trotted a few steps and jumped past a few students, and followed Jiuru, who was walking in front: "Little saint, why don't I take two students to the temple in front of me to investigate." ”

He got Jiuru's consent, turned his head and said, "Sun Qi, Jia Chen, you go up with me first!"

Hearing his name, Jia Chen, who had always looked a little distracted, raised his head, he raised his head, and He Panying, who was standing at the top of the steps, looked tall and a little oppressive, which made him involuntarily think of the tall trees.

Could He Panying also be dressed by the demon tree, it is said that the person who has changed the most today is him, obviously a person who is usually clumsy, suddenly became so decisive and organized, Jia Chen's heart was suspicious, why didn't anyone feel that something was wrong?

"Hurry up, Jia Chen!" He Panying waved his hand.

Zhaoran raised his hand and said, "I'll go with you!"

He Panying glanced down at Zhao Ran and couldn't help but ask, "You?"

Zhaoran stretched his slender arms and legs: "I'm running fast!"

Jia Chen subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but when he looked down and saw Zhaoran, who was just over the height of his knees, his guilt suddenly rose again, and he said, "I'll go too." ”

He Panying glanced at Jia Chen strangely, thinking to himself what's wrong with classmate Jia, isn't he usually a very active person who loves to join in the fun, why did he suddenly become forward-looking?

Jiuru looked at Zhaoran and said cautiously: "You have to be careful. Don't panic in case of danger, I'll be there soon. ”

"Okay, in case of danger, I'll call the gentleman's name. Zhaoran nodded and looked up at Jiuru, thinking that your name was ...... Seal the flow scene. ”

Jiuru nodded and said, "Okay, my name is rarely mentioned, you may not have heard of it, my name is ...... Sealing the scene. ”

"Hey" It turned out that twenty years ago, Jiuru was not called "Merry Scene", and blinked his eyes.

"Zhaoxian, you're a little faster. He Panying urged, "We're done checking, and we're going to meet Master Fu." ”

Zhao Ran left Jiuru and followed He Panying and them, and then he looked back at Jiuru under the steps, his clothes were flying in the mountain wind, and the silk around his waist was half raised, but what impressed Zhao Ran was not his figure, but Jiuru's eyebrows, black like crow feathers, sharp like a lancet.

It turned out that Jiuru's appearance was very heroic, and Zhaoran said in his heart that he had always felt that Jiuru was like a piece of jade, warm and shiny.

Maybe the Buddha sitting in the demon suppression tower originally had two sides, slaying demons and eliminating demons, or being compassionate and compassionate, and thought in his heart.

－－－－

It was really a half-built temple, only one main hall, and there was nothing enshrined, there was no past Buddha, and there was not even a statue of Confucius standing in the academy, and only half of the mud altar in the main hall was repaired, built with gold bricks, and tung oil was added.

"Isn't there anyone to take care of this?" Zhao Ran wiped his hand lightly on the clay altar, and a layer of dust was stained between his fingers.

"Of course someone should clean it, and Shechang Fan has a good grasp of this. He Panying was also a little strange, touching the mud altar with his hand.

Zhaoran pondered for a while, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember anything wrong, and Jia Chen next to him suddenly said: "There are too many things that are wrong!"

He Panying looked at the dust between his fingers: "Egret Book City is a holy place for reading in the world, and it is indeed abnormal that there are demons who are haunting, it seems that the world is going to be in chaos." ”

Zhao Ran turned his head, he subconsciously felt that Jia Chen was not referring to this, this arrogant classmate on weekdays was unusually restrained, which was a problem in itself, Sun Qiluo over there said with some fear: "I have seen all this main hall, there is no problem, why don't I go down and call the little saint up." ”

He Panying said: "Don't worry, let's check carefully, this demon tree has been hovering under the academy for many years, if there is anything, we will be wiped out here!"

Sun Qi had to reluctantly nod.

He Panying checked inside and out with a stick, the main hall is not small, but the furnishings inside are actually very simple, except for a few pieces of cloth curtains, the others are clear at a glance.

Zhao Ran pointed to the clay altar and said, "Do you know what was originally going to be offered on this altar?"

He Panying stood up and shook his head: "I have heard from the end, when I came, this temple already existed, and when we played on Bailu Mountain, we used to rest here. The little sage may know that if Senior Yan Dan is here, he may also ......"

He stopped talking about this, the name Yan Dan really sounds a little uncomfortable now.

The sky outside is gradually getting darker, it seems that the showers are coming again, Zhaoran looked out of the sky, not a single large-billed finch he released came back, where was Lu Tian pressed?

A flash of light lit up, and Sun Qi pointed to a certain place and screamed: "There are people, there are other people here!"

He Panying immediately picked up the stick in his hand, carefully approached the place of his fingers, and when he got around the pillar, he straightened up, turned around and said with a smile: "It's a rag, I don't know who accidentally scraped his clothes on the horizontal nails of the pillar." ”

The expressions of the people in the temple relaxed, and even Zhao Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

The last time he encountered the pomfret in the shadows, there was a dragon patriarch who reminded them what to do, but now that he has encountered the human head tree, he is really at a loss.

"I don't think it's anything, it seems to be raining outside, you go down and call the little saints to come up and hide from the rain for a while." He Panying put away his stick and said to Sun Qi.

Sun Qiyu was slightly annoyed and said: "I just said that I have seen it all, there is no problem here, you have to check it carefully!"

As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and rushed out in the heavy rain, obviously feeling that Sun Qi's anger was a little inexplicable, and even Jia Chen, who had been in a fugue, said: "Gu Li is weird." ”

He Panying, who was scolded, stood at the door, looking at the back of Sun Qi running down the mountain, and the rain was very strong, splashing him.

Zhaoran ran over to take a look at Sun Qi's back, from here, he was already close to the students in the middle of the mountain, He Panying seemed to be relieved, closed the door, found a clean place to sit and wipe the rain.

"Are you worried that he will disappear for no reason like Yan Dan?"

He Panying nodded slightly and sighed: "You have to be careful about everything now." ”

Zhao Ran said: "Senior He should be sincere and kind." ”

He Panying was praised, but he became shy: "Yes, my family is a military general, and it is our duty to protect others, and besides, my rough embryo is also thanks to the support of my classmates and friends on weekdays." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Jia Chen, and suddenly his face changed, "What about Jia Chen?"

Zhao Ran quickly turned around, the empty main hall, Jia Chen disappeared without a trace.

Even if it was Zhao Ran, his heart twitched violently a few times, all this was too weird.

He Panying's honest face also took off: "Impossible, he was obviously still standing there just now!"

There were already a lot of footsteps outside the door at this moment, and it was clear that the heavy rain had caused the students to run desperately into the main hall.

"I'm going to stop them!" He Panying jumped up, the door had already opened, and it was a dark sky outside, and a row of students in white scholar's uniforms poured in along the temple door like chickens in soup.

Jiuru stepped into the threshold, looked at the faces of Zhaoran and He Panying and asked, "What happened." ”

He Panying's hand trembled slightly and pointed to the place where Jia Chen was standing just now and said, "Jia Chen is missing, he was obviously still here just now, he, he disappeared silently under our noses." ”

The students were in a frightened uproar.

"I'm here. Before his words fell, someone spoke outside the hall.

As soon as everyone turned around, they saw Jia Chen walking in from outside the hall, half of his body was wet, his black hair was draped over his face, his face was gloomy, and he looked like a water ghost who had just been salvaged from the Yellow Spring.

He Panying's tense face suddenly relaxed, and she complained: "Jia Chen, what's the matter with you, where did you go, how did you get out." ”

Jia Chen didn't speak, just pointed to the window next to the hall.

"Jia Chen, it's raining so hard, are you going out to do it?"

"That's it, aren't you scared?"

"You're usually willful, but now you're still willful, you want to scare us to death!"

The students were frightened and couldn't help but complain about Jia Chen.

He Panying raised his hands to reassure: "Forget it, forget it!" Jia Chen must not be worried about Sun Qi, so he ran out to take a look. ”

Jia Chen didn't speak, just walked to the side and sat down alone, and He Panying commanded a few students to find the carbon furnace in the temple, after all, it was the industry in the academy, and these things were still complete.

The charcoal stove rose, probably because the light of the fire calmed the people's emotions, so they calmed down, and untied their wet clothes and roasted around the fire.

Everyone was chatting over the fire, and no one paid attention to Jia Chen, who was sitting in the corner.

"What did you find?" Zhao Ran walked over and sat down next to Jia Chen, who was wrapped in wet clothes.

Jia Chen said in a dry tone: "What did you find?"

"You have always been pampered, and braving such a heavy rain to send Sun Qi is not quite like your style, let alone going out through the window. Zhaoran looked at Jia Chen and said, "You don't want to say it because you can't trust the people here, right?"

Jia Chen pursed his lips and continued: "You don't believe Gu Yan, but you talked to Yan Dan, so when Yan Dan disappeared, you looked panicked." ”

"Shouldn't I be alarmed if someone goes missing for no reason?"

"Gu Kuan is not only missing, but also dead, you weren't so panicked at that time. Zhaoran said, "There is only one possibility, Yan Dan got some kind of hint from you, so he hurriedly left the gate to find Mr., your first object of suspicion is either Gu Yan or Sun Qi, and after Yan Dan disappeared, you began to suspect that they still had comrades, so you were shocked." ”

Jia Chen was slightly shocked, turned his head to look at Zhao Ran for a long time before saying, "If I were you, I wouldn't ask so much, but I would find a way to get out of here as soon as possible." ”

"But things haven't been figured out, maybe no one can leave here. Zhaoran grinned.

Jia Chen looked at him for a long time before he lowered his voice and said, "Have you noticed that there is someone wrong here?"

"For example......"

Jia Chen said in a low voice: "The dull have become smart, the reckless have become cautious, and the cowardly have become brave." ”

"After going through a lot of tribulations, everyone will change a little bit, and that's growth. ”

"Maybe......" Jia Chen nodded a little stiffly, "Everyone has gotten better." ”

Zhao Ran cross-legged and said, "Isn't it good to get better?"

Jia Chen's thin lips pursed slightly, and his eyebrows raised lightly: "It's not bad, I just think they are weird, as if they are wearing a human skin mask, and they are a little pretentious." ”

Zhao Ran said "hey" in his heart, and changed the subject: "You haven't said why you turned out the window." Zhaoran turned to the topic again.

Jia Chen said: "Whether you believe it or not, in fact, I saw Sun Qi walking by the window, and then his expression was a little wrong, so I wanted to see what was there?"

"Sun Qi. Zhaoran turned his head, Sun Qi was blocked by many people, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Jia Chen, go over and bake the wet clothes on your body, there's an empty spot there. He Panying came over and called Jia Chen.

"yes, come here!"

"Beware of freezing colds. ”

Everyone shouted Jia Chen.

Jia Chen stood up expressionlessly and said, "Okay." ”

Zhaoran watched him stand up and walk towards everyone, but in an instant, he heard Jia Chen's voice say very quietly: "Zhaoxian, have you seen the wetland under your feet!"

After he said this, he never looked back, walked among the students, and took off his clothes and baked them.

The wetland beneath his feet, he glanced back at the already dark sky outside.

－－－－

Sun Qi leaned close to the pillar behind him, although he was very close to the charcoal stove, he still had a chill on his body, in fact, he did find something outside the window, a piece of paper, a list to be exact.

A list of charcoals, his gaze slowly scanned the people in the temple, although some parts of the list were wet, but there was no doubt that the vast majority of the people in the temple were on that list.

They all met by chance, why could it be so coincidental, why did their names all appear on the same piece of paper.

Unless...... Unless...... Sun Qi clenched his arms, it was not the first time that their group had come to this hall, and the great fear almost overwhelmed him.

His eyes turned to Jiuru, and he thought to himself, should he give this piece of paper to the little sage?

But this piece of paper also has his own name, will that hinder him, Sun Qi's hand in his sleeve poked out again.

He Panying over there took out a piece of paper and said: "Now please write your name on the paper, we need a list to arrange people to patrol, and the rest of the people will take a break in the main hall for the time being, and when the heavy rain passes, we will leave here." ”

When the paper reached Sun Qi's hand, looking at the carbon-black name on it, he couldn't help but have a desire to vomit, there was a knock on the door outside, and two brocade guards walked in: "You are really here, Master Fu has seen the sky, let us come and order you, stay where you are for the time being, don't move, so as not to be taken advantage of by the demon tree." ”

When everyone saw Jin Yiwei, their mood became more relaxed, but Sun Qi was not included.

Run, you must get out of here, Sun Qi only had this thought left in his heart.
