Chapter 14: This is the Truth

"Say, big guys, listen!"

When the leading official heard the prestige, he saw a personable noble son sitting on the open platform of the teahouse, and hurriedly flattered him: "Yo, it turned out to be the prince of Peking University!

Bei Lingtian snorted, continued to knock his melon seeds, drank his tea, and looked down on everything below, like a spectator.

The leading official paused, then opened his mouth and came: "This big worm was sent to the government by an anonymous well-wisher last night, and a letter was attached. It is clearly written in black and white on it, and it is clear that the sons of Aunt Zhang's family and the male corpses found in the mountains and forests in recent days are all the work of this big insect, and they are not the work of the monsters circulating in the town! Therefore, please stop being suspicious and making things out of nothing! I am frightened and not to mention myself, and it makes people panic!"

In addition, the government decided to give Aunt Zhang's family ten taels of silver as compensation, after all, we failed to correct this big insect in the first place, which would cause such a tragedy! As for the corpses of the men in the mountains and forests, since no one has gone to Yizhuang to claim them, we will bury them alive today!"

Speaking of this, the leading official couldn't help but look at the opposite building, and hurriedly shouted at the crowd: "Okay, that's all for the next word, the big guys are scattered, scattered!"

At this time, several people in the crowd shouted.

"Eh, this is listening to the momentum, just like that?"

"Yes, you haven't told us yet, who caught this big worm, it can even bite Zhang Dazhuang to death, how did this mysterious man fight it?"

"That's right, that's right! We don't need one-sided words, we just want the truth! Don't try to find a dead worm to fool us!"

"That is, many people have died in the past few days, and all of them men. Why doesn't this tiger pick on a woman? Besides, a human life is worth ten taels of silver? How can the government have a good conscience?"

Suddenly, the leading official was so embarrassed by their questions that he didn't know how to answer.

He threw the long whip in his hand onto the shelf and shouted: "Give me all peace! I have just explained very clearly, this big worm is the truth you want! As for this anonymous person, I also want to know where he is sacred, since he has no intention of showing up, there must be his reason, why should we force others? As for the compensation, it is still the official master's kind charity, if the official master does not give him a copper plate, what can you do about it? They are all scattered for me! If there are any nonsense talkers, don't blame the yamen for not giving me face!"

"Poof......" After listening to the last few words, Bei Lingtian couldn't help but squirt out the tea that had not yet been swallowed in his mouth.

Impartially, it was sprayed on Twilight's face, and not a drop fell.

Twilight Di took out a handkerchief and wiped the water stains on his face, and said aggrievedly, "Childe, what caused you to be so excited? Look at this...... Uh-huh, it's really disgusting!"

Bei Lingtian put down the teacup, raised his lips and smiled: "Don't you think that Zhao Yashi's words are quite interesting?"

"Yes? Why don't I think? I think he has a point. Twilight Di folded the handkerchief and put it back on his body, and said seriously: "Childe, now that the truth is revealed, you should die now, right?"

Bei Lingtian looked into the distance and couldn't help but snort coldly, "Hmph, the truth is revealed?"

......

Purple Cloud Top.

In the past two days, Tonglingdao has been watching the stars for a long time, and found that most of the star walls are dim and thin, and I faintly feel that there will be major events in the near future, so that I am worried.

At noon, Scarlet walked into his dormitory with food.

"Master, it's time for lunch. “

After taking his seat, the chief of the copper bell stared at the apprentice in front of him who seemed to have walked out of a painting, and couldn't help but sigh: "I can't imagine that you are so old." In the past, when I brought you back from the mountains, I was still a tender doll in my arms. The years go by, and the master is old!"

Scarlet blinked and smiled: "The master will not be old, master, he will always be a young and strong young man!"

"Hahaha...... You, you know how to make the master happy. ”

Smiling and smiling, the bronze bell Taoist sighed again.

Scarlet couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, master, but there's something troublesome?"

After hesitating for a moment, the bronze bell Taoist frowned and said, "For the Taoist, he shouldn't be entangled in mundane things. But in the past few days, the teacher has always felt uneasy and very troubled!"

Scarlet thought for a moment and asked, "Has the master seen anyone down the mountain recently?"

"Never!"

"Did the master do anything wrong?"

"Neither at all. ”

"Or have you forgotten something important?"

"Important things, important things, important things......" The bronze bell Taoist recited this sentence repeatedly, and suddenly asked, "Ni'er, how old are you now?"

Scarlet tilted her head and replied, "In a few days it will be Ni'er's eighteenth birthday, master, how can you even forget Ni'er's age?"

"Eighteen, then, he should be as old as you. The day of adulthood is also the time of awakening, no wonder, no wonder ......"

Seeing the master's chatter, Scarlet couldn't help but ask: "Master, who is as old as me? How can I not understand a word of what you say?" Master, master ......?"

Hearing the call, the bronze bell Taoist came back to his senses.

He ate a few bites of food casually, and then said, "Ni'er, I'm going down the mountain tomorrow, and it's unknown how long it will take to come back." In these days when the teacher is away, you have to take care of yourself. ”

"Going down the mountain, where is the master going?"

"Xuantie Town!"

"Xuantie Town?" Scarlet couldn't help but be taken aback, and thought to herself, "Isn't that where Brother Dusk Di and the Stinky Boy live?" No, I'll have to beg the master to take me with me! Maybe this is the only way to meet them!"

She got up and faced the Taoist who was tidying up the room, and pleaded, "Master, Ni'er doesn't want to be separated from the master, can you take Ni'er with you?"

"No! It's not trivial for the teacher to go down the mountain this time, won't you add to the chaos if you go?"

Scarlet waved her hand again and again, "No, no, no!" Ni'er has been studying and practicing hard every day for many years, and she is already familiar with what her master has taught, and she has the ability to protect herself. Besides, with one more person and more strength, Ni'er can also take care of the master, so why not do it have the best of both worlds?"

The chief of the copper bell hesitated for a moment, but did not speak.

Seeing that he didn't follow, Scarlet Ni stepped forward and sprinkled coquettishly. After a whole afternoon of soft grinding and hard foaming, the copper bell Taoist finally agreed to her request.

However, he has two conditions.

That is to change her daughter's outfit, and no matter who or what she meets, she must not show her true identity! Otherwise, everything will not be discussed!
