"Wang Lin was taken down the mountain." After eating, the head of the Shouwen Dao suddenly came over and told Qiaozhi the news.

"He and Miss Jin'er walked together, and it seemed that the two of them were very good." Shouwen said, "It seems that I have almost forgotten the pain of losing my mother, and it is the heart of a child." ”

"Maybe it's just silently buried in the bottom of my heart." Qiaozhi was noncommittal, and her tone was light.

She still can't let go of Jin'er's deception from beginning to end, even if she knows her motives and knows all her unspeakable secrets, she still can't accept her approach.

In a word, the Tao is not the same.

She would never think that Jin'er suddenly found out in her conscience and let Wang Lin go. It's probably like a cat that has caught a mouse, and everything has a follow-up plan.

"No, Miss Yu." Shouwen noticed the faint ridicule on Qiaozhi's face, and guessed what she was thinking, "It was Miss Jin'er who personally begged Wang Ci to take him down the mountain, and said that she believed that Miss Yu's method of blood test was not reliable." ”

"Huh?" Qiaozhi was surprised, this time she really couldn't understand Jin'er's thoughts, could it be that she was really lost? No, in fact, from the beginning, I didn't recognize Jin'er's true face.

Shouwen only thought that she was questioning, and after thinking about it, she said with a puzzled face: "But Miss Jin'er later said that Steward Zhao was good to Wang Lone... Then the prefectural lord's face became like a frosted eggplant again. Speaking of this, Shouwen suddenly showed a playful smile and sighed twice, "Alas, is that blood test reliable?" Wang Lin is really not his child? ”

... Are all you Taoist priests as gossip like you?

"Who knows... Everyone has a personal destiny. Qiaozhi didn't want to continue the topic, and was silent for a moment before continuing, "I want to go to your brother's room again." ”

"Or is it because of that?"

"Hmm." Qiaozhi pretended to be sad, "There are some things, it's useless to escape, since I already know that something is wrong, I have to investigate it clearly." ”

"Okay. So we go now? Shouwen nodded, "I'll go and call Bai Jian Gongzi out." ”

The three of them returned to the original path, and when they were halfway there, Shouwen suddenly said: "Senior Brother Siwen likes Ah Rong very much, and sometimes Ah Rong pesters him tightly, so he will take him down the mountain." ”

Well? Pretty Eda's eyes lit up, "You mean—"

"Exactly." Shouwen smiled, "Senior brother is so familiar with the man in black, Ah Rong may have seen senior brother talk to the man in black." ”

"Oh, yes." Shouwen added, "Ah Rong is the child who was sent up the mountain by his parents, Miss Yu still has an impression, right?" ”

Thinking of the two well-behaved children with similar faces, Qiaozhi nodded, and asked curiously, "Why were they sent to the mountain?" Could it be that there is not enough food at home? ”

“.... Yes? Hearing this, Shouwen, who was originally walking in front to lead the way, stopped, "Food? ”

Forehead... Isn't it? Qiaozhi was a little embarrassed, and before she could explain, she saw Bai Jian, who was walking beside her, with her hands behind her head, and said slowly: "Shouwen Daoist doesn't need to pay attention to her, her thinking has always been strange, and she can't be compared with normal humans." ”

Shouwen laughed dryly twice, extremely embarrassed. Qiao Zhi grinded his teeth, and scolded Bai Jian in his heart.

"Ah Rong and Ah Yi have some congenital deficiencies." Shouwen thought for a moment and explained, "Maybe it was because of the fate of the Taoists, when the master was traveling that day, he happened to see these two children getting sick, and he knew the reason after a little calculation, and then he was sent to our mountain by his family. ”

Oh, it turned out to be tricked to the mountain... Qiao Zhi was clear, but he still had to politely compliment the Taoist chief: "That Taoist master's master is really a great man, I don't know where he is now?" Is there a way for us to appreciate his fairy beauty? ”

Shouwen was turned red by this false praise, "The family teacher went out to travel a year ago, and he has always been unqualified, but if he calculates that there is a disaster in the Taoist temple, he will rush back." ”

"Oh, that's it." Bai Jian nodded and scratched his chin, "Then your Taoist temple will die this time.. Ah no, I mean the immortals went, the immortals went to such people, is your master about to rush back? ”

Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned. Qiao Zhi watched Shouwen suddenly stride forward with a blue face, and glared at Bai Jian fiercely while speeding up her pace.

Bai Jian spread his hands, looking unclear.

Alas... It's really... Qiaozhi shook her head and made amends for Bai Jian: "Don't be angry with him, Bai Jian has always been a brain. What he said just now was all unintentional words, and the Shouwen Daoist must not take it to heart. ”

"I didn't. It's just that I wonder why such a big thing happened on the mountain, and Master hasn't come back yet. Shouwen shook his head and slowed down, "It stands to reason that Master should be able to spot Senior Brother Siwen's movements behind him, but why... I also entrusted the Taoist temple to him to manage on his behalf..."

That's because your master is not as powerful as you think, boy!

"Here we are." Shouwen took off the lock hanging on the door and saluted Qiaozhi, "I'll go find Ah Rong and Ah Yi to come over, and Miss Yu will check it herself first." With that, he handed the key to Qiaozhi and turned to leave.

The furnishings in the room had not been touched as last time, and even the silver tickets and letters that Bai Jian had scavenged were placed in their original positions.

"Where do you think that Siwen is still hiding?" Bai Jian opened the mat on the bed to check, but only stirred up a layer of floating soil, "The cabinet and bed have been found, where else can there be?" ”

"Maybe the most dangerous place is the safest place?" Qiaozhi bent down and looked at the bottom of the bed, but still found nothing.

"No, it won't." Bai Jian categorically rejected Qiaozhi's suggestion, "People who can think of hiding things in the dark grid will definitely not believe in the crooked theory that the most dangerous place is the safest place." ”

"Why don't we wait here for the Elder Shouwen to come." After rummaging for a long time to no avail, Qiao Zhi sat down on the chair dejectedly, "Anyway, we already have so much evidence." "I just don't know if I can take these things down the mountain.

"Okay." Bai Jian raised her eyebrows, and agreed to Qiaozhi's proposal, "I also don't think there will be any new objects." Everything will wait for the Shouwen Taoist to come back. ”

Not long after the words fell, Qiaozhi, who was sitting on the bed resting, saw Shouwen leading two little Taoist priests in, it was Ah Rong and Ah Yi.

It's just that Shouwen was followed by a white-bearded old man who had never seen before, not wearing a Taoist robe but wearing a chic white robe.

"Ahh Who is this? Seeing that the old man in white followed Shouwen into the door, Qiaozhi quickly stood up and looked at Shouwen.

"This is the tutor I mentioned earlier." Shouwen lowered his head, and his tone was extremely respectful, "The family teacher knows about the girl, and there are some things to say to the girl." ”

"Girl, it's not like we're here." The old man stroked his beard, put his right hand behind his back, and smiled gently.

"Hmm. I'm not from Yanling. "Pretty branch is a little unclear, so, is this what the old man wants to say?

"No, no, no." The old man smiled mysteriously, his eyes fell on Qiaozhi, and he seemed to look into the distance through Qiaozhi, "I mean, the girl is probably from somewhere else." ”

Is there any difference between this and the previous sentence... Qiaozhi silently slandered, didn't she say it differently... Wait a minute! She suddenly had a burst of enlightenment and looked up at the old man sharply, "You mean, you know that I...?" ”

"Thou shalt not speak, thou shalt not speak." The old man stretched out his left hand and drew a circle in vain, "Girl, you don't have to say, I guess the girl already understands what I mean." ”

"Can I go back?" Qiaozhi bit her lip and asked after hesitation.

Even though she didn't live happily in her previous life, she had no relatives or friends, and she could even say that she had no father or mother, but she still wanted to go back, after all, that was where she had always lived.

"Everything has a fate." The old man shook his head, "It's coming... Then it is safe. Isn't that the girl's creed? ”

Hearing this, Qiaozhi realized that she probably couldn't go back. Seeing that Bai Jian beside him looked confused, he couldn't care about explaining. There was a bit of gloom in his tone: "Thank you for informing." Thank you..."

"It doesn't matter." The old man stroked his beard again, smiled lightly and glanced at Bai Jian, who was still confused, but did not explain. He continued to say to Qiaozhi, "This matter will be discussed later." I have come to tell the girl about my wicked man. ”

"Siwen?"

"Yes." The old man smiled, "I told the girl just now, everyone has their own fate, Siwen's child..." he shook his head, in the end he brought out some resentment, adding a bit of fireworks to him, "Sven and Sili ended up like this, and it was also the cause and effect they planted before, and they can't complain about others." ”

"Shouwen." The old man patted the silent Shouwen next to him, "Bury the two of them at the foot of the mountain, you don't have to enter the Taoist temple." ”

"Yes." Shouwen bowed his head and said extremely respectfully.

"You mean, you know what Sven did? Is this his retribution? Qiaozhi said.

"It's not just Sven, there's also Silly." The old man walked straight to the mahogany cabinet, and after a little thought, he took out the silver ticket placed inside and the booklet that recorded the source of the silver ticket. I thought they would understand me with a hint, but in the end they were trapped by money and died in vain. ”

His eyes suddenly looked at Qiaozhi, his gaze was deep, "This money, life does not bring it, death does not bring it." The girl should have a lot of understanding, right? Then why do you think there are so many people who sell their souls and sell themselves for this thin piece of paper? ”

Qiao Zhi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, since the old man revealed her origin, she felt that every word of the old man was full of Zen machine, and this sentence was ostensibly asking her about Siwen Sili, but it seemed to be asking her. After all, in her previous life, she lived a chaotic life, and she felt that it didn't matter if she sold something for money, until... She came here to slowly change.

Sure enough, before the pretty branch opened his mouth. The old man seemed to have guessed what Qiaozhi was going to say, and said gently, "It's good that the girl understands." After all, the things of the past are just the past. Now the girl's opportunity, you must take advantage of it, and don't repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

"I can't say much about what the girl wants to investigate, but I can point her in the right direction." Seeing Qiaozhi's understanding nod, the old man smiled.

"Please make it clear." Qiaozhi hurriedly saluted and said respectfully.

"A restaurant is a place where news is convenient." He shook his robe, "The girl might as well try to open a restaurant, maybe you can know what the girl wants to know, and wait for the person the girl wants to wait for." ”

"Huh? I don't have anything to wait for...", she just wanted to go home, but she couldn't.

"Everything is fateful, since the girl is here, there is someone who is destined to wait." The old man smiled and looked at Bai Jian, "This little friend, can you go out for a while?" I have a few separate words to say to this girl. ”

Bai Jian nodded, went out with Shouwen and Ah Yi Ah Rong, and closed the door intimately.

"The girl doesn't know my name yet, does she?" The old man smiled and touched his beard again, "My name is Li Wusheng." ”
