Chapter 43: In the Dark
"Zhiyin got the 'daughter' he had been thinking about for a long time, and you will also get the Shennong whip. Although he didn't find his biological daughter, he didn't have to suffer anymore. ”
Shi Shazhu continued to say to Nong Qingyun, but his tone was not like trying to promote or persuade, but he was relieved to find a compromise and happy to see his friend's happiness.
"This," Nong Qingyun frowned, in a dilemma, "Thank you brother Xian for thinking about me, it's just ......"
"Big brother, kill two birds with one stone, isn't this a good thing?"
"Even if I do this, Senior Brother may not tell me the whereabouts of Shennong's whip."
"Even if he doesn't tell you the whereabouts of Shennong's whip, won't he tell his daughter?"
"Would the senior brother believe that Tie Shu is her missing daughter?"
Shi Shazhu smiled secretly: "Of course it's not Tie Shu now, I will use the disguise technique to change her appearance a little." ”
"Transfiguration? Is the virtuous brother really proficient in disguise? ”
"I can't talk about being proficient, but I can't make it impossible to see the flaws in Zhiyin."
"Thank you, brother! I'll think about it again! Nong Qingyun replied tactfully, without smiling, and the passion tumbling in his heart jumped in the dim candlelight, overflowing the small room.
"Well, I think Tie Shu will understand. Shennong's whip is not about personal honor and safety, but about the rise and fall of the entire Shennong Palace, and she is also obliged to make sacrifices. Moreover, Zhiyin will be very good to Tieshu, probably better than you. When the time comes, maybe...... Ha ha! ”
Shi Shazhu's laughter corresponded to Nong Qingyun's heart, but there was one person who was shocked and numb all over his body.
In the bleak moonlight, Shi stood outside the window and shivered, and after hearing the conversation between Shi Shazhu and Nong Qingyun, the two majestic images instantly turned into hideous devils in his mind.
Half an hour ago, he was alone in his room practicing the trick of swallowing clouds and breathing fire. After practicing twice, a problem that he had been struggling to overcome still remained unsolved.
Swallowing clouds was perfect, but the fire-breathing caused him endless troubles, and the hairs on his lips were always miserable, but fortunately he didn't have a beard, but those tiny hairs smelled of burnt because of the presence of Mars, and he felt like roasted chicken.
He immediately took the opportunity to seek the master's help, and at the corner of the morning glory corridor, Nong Qingyun's tall figure knocked on the master's door.
Curiosity, he leaned by the window and knew everything that was going on in the house.
Are they going to join forces to deceive the cause? Oh, that poor old monk! Who would want their loved ones to be impersonated?
If he himself one day finds that his father and mother are not his biological parents, he will definitely be thundered, and life is better than death. That feeling of being deceived should be the most unbearable feeling in the world, how could Nong Qingyun and Master come up with such a vicious idea?
Could it be that both of them are vicious people, and I have been deceived by them before? Stones, stones, how can you judge people by their appearance? Even if you don't like to read anymore, you know the saying that you don't know your heart, right?
Nong Qingyun must be such a thief, in order to get some Shennong whip, he actually let his daughter pretend to be someone else's daughter.
There is also Shi Shazhu, he came up with this idea, I followed him for two months, but I didn't know that he was so femme fatale.
Damn, I actually called him Master for two months, I will never change the trick in the future, the dirty things taught by such filthy people will stain my hands!
The stone rubbed his hands vigorously against his body as he walked.
There was ice on one side and fire on the other. The ice was piercing, the fire was scorching, as if he were in eighteen layers of hell, and the Yaksha and the evil spirits placed him on a cutting board to shave his bones and chop his flesh.
He, a simple, kind, and scheming boy, saw the despicability and viciousness of human nature in the snap of his fingers.
What am I going to do? Know the cause! I have to inform him to leave Shennong Palace as soon as possible, and don't fall for that bullshit palace master Nong Qingyun.
The stone asked where Zhiyin lived, and hurried away. The lights were on in the room, and the stone knocked on the door urgently: "Is Zen Master Zhiyin there?" The door opened, and Zhiyin sat down at the table, looking at him suspiciously.
"Zen Master, I have something very important to inform you!" Stone panted, "Someone, someone is going to pretend to be your daughter......" He slapped him on the shoulder in the middle of his words.
"What are you doing here?" A familiar voice came from behind. The stone turned his head and saw the little beggar, and turned his surprise into joy, as if he had found a rescuer.
"Great, you're here too! I found a ......"
"Don't be surprised here, you're sick again, aren't you? Don't look at where this is, can the Zen master stand you like this? To play, let's go out and play! The little beggar took the stone and pushed him out of the door.
"I, I'm ......" Stone was anxious, and he had never been so alarmed when he was punished by his father.
The little beggar winked at him and motioned for him to listen to him.
"Say it outside!" The little beggar whispered like a mosquito, then turned his head and smiled as brightly as a flower at Zhiyin.
"It's okay, uncle. I told him that you were looking for your daughter, and maybe he saw a woman who thought it was your daughter. Uncle, don't believe him, he's a crazy blind man. As long as it was a woman with long hair, he felt that they all looked the same. ”
"I'm not that blind!" The stone sticks its head into the doorframe.
"Crazy people say they're not crazy! Let's go, it's late, don't affect the rest of the teacher! The little beggar closed the door.
"What are you doing? Let me go! The stone was pressed by the little beggar's arm and shoulder, and was carried forward like a prisoner.
"Don't make a noise, come to my room!"
"You let me go first!"
"Do you promise not to make noise, not to make noise, not to run?"
"Good!" Stone rolled his eyes and replied reluctantly. The little beggar let go of the stone's arm.
"You're smaller than me, so why are you so strong than me?" Stone glanced at the little beggar.
"Hmph, you are a young master who stretches out his hands for clothes and opens his mouth for food, I have to rely on my own skills to have something to eat!"
"Little beggar, what are you doing in the house of Zhiyin?"
"It's not his daughter's business, our beggar gang has been looking for so long, and we haven't even heard any news. I went to comfort him, afraid that he would lose his patience. ”
"Hmph, you don't have to worry about this in the future!" The stone walked briskly to his room.
"What? What do you mean? The little beggar followed after him, pushed the stone into the house without saying a word, and closed the door.
"Don't push me all the time!" Stone glared at the little beggar angrily, looking for clues in his strange mannerism.
"Tell me, what did you mean just now? What do you mean I don't have to worry about this in the future? "The little beggar is pressing closer.
"Zhiyin's daughter has been found!"
"Nonsense! How come I never heard of it? ”
"Humph! I just heard about it from Nong Qingyun. ”
"Nong Qingyun? What did he tell you? ”
"How is that possible? How dare he, the old fox, tell others what he has done! I overheard it myself. ”
"Tell me what happened," said the little beggar, with a grim face, and added a crucial sentence: "Don't miss a word!" ”
Stone obediently began to tell word by word what had just happened, perhaps forced by the little beggar's obscenity, or perhaps he was impatient to pour out the secret in his heart to a friend.
"You didn't lie to me?" The little beggar stared blankly at the darkness that peeked through the crack in the window.
"You can't die if you lie to you! Do you think the two of them are heinous enough to come up with such a vicious idea? ”
The little beggar was silent, his godless eyes seemed to be engulfed in the darkness.
"You just went to Zhiyin's room to tell him about it, didn't you?" In the middle of the night, the little beggar turned to the stone, and his eyes regained their sparkle.
"Hmm. I'm not afraid of them! "The stone puffs up his chest and holds his head high, and it is self-evident that he can die for justice.
"You," the little beggar poked a finger into the stone's nose, "you almost broke something, but luckily I arrived to stop you!" ”
"What? You...... I...... How did I get into trouble? Were you bought by Nong Qingyun? The stone was so angry that he almost bit his tongue.
The little beggar glanced at the stone with disgust: "Do you know how much Zhiyin misses his daughter?" ”
"Of course I do."
"Do you know how old Zhiyin is now?"
"Sixty or seventy?"
"Life is rare for seventy years, how many years do he have to live? Can you guarantee that his daughter will appear in the last years, more than ten years of his life? Do you know what it means to be someone we can't even find in our beggars? You know ......."
"What does that mean?" The stone couldn't help but interrupt the little beggar.
"It means that this person does not exist in this world!"
"You mean she's dead?"
"Pretty much."
"This ...... How can a person who is fine, but is missing, die? "The heart of the stone kept sinking, he had never faced such a cruel reality, and there was never a shadow of death in the world he was carefully cared for.
The little beggar shook his head helplessly: "You are a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, right?" Isn't life and death normal? She may have died of illness, starvation, or death. ”
"However, Zen Master Zhiyin has waited for her for so many years, and she has not found his father......"
"Okay, stop talking stupid, or I'll give you two slaps!" The little beggar could not understand the state of mind of the stone, and in his opinion, parting from life and death was as ordinary as eating and sleeping.
"You understood what I just said, do you want Zhiyin to leave this world with regrets?"
The stone shook his head desperately.
"The Nonggong Master and your master have come up with such a good solution, but in fact, this is also a way that has no choice, why do you want to destroy it?"
"I ......" Shi Shi was almost persuaded by the little beggar, and suddenly his mind flashed with Master's evil laughter and Nong Qingyun's shameless greed.
"You're not right! The Lord of the Nong Palace deceived Zhiyin not for his good, but just to get the Shennong Whip! And Master, hmph, I don't know what his intentions are! ”
