"That's right, he does the first year of junior high school, and we do the fifteenth!"

After listening to Ma Qiang's words, Zhang Wen also said ruthlessly, or rather, he just strengthened his heart through Ma Qiang's attitude.

The two of you said a word, made a good excuse for yourself, and quietly left the Lu Mansion.

In an inn.

The two knocked on the door of a room.

"Who?"

A female voice came from inside the room.

"We." Ma Qiang said.

Then, there was the sound of walking and the deadbolt opening, and the door opened, revealing a gloomy face.

It was none other than the third veteran in this mission - Dong Yuan.

After entering the city, she went it alone.

It's just that why did he suddenly get mixed up with Ma Qiang and Zhang Wen again?

After Dong Yuan entered the city, he chose the same direction as Ma Qiang and Zhang Wen, focusing on "matches" to carry out investigations.

The two had met as early as the day Han Guang and they met Xu Yi.

is not as good as Xu Yi's time, and neither side has made achievements.

Dong Yuan directly ignored the two, and the well water did not interfere with the river water.

Until that night.

Ma Qiang and Zhang Wen coincidentally helped Dong Yuan once.

Therefore, Dong Yuan told the two of them about her temporary residence, and if the two needed help, they could come to her, which could be regarded as a reciprocation.

"What's the matter?"

The three of them sat down on either side of the small table in the room.

Ma Qiang and Zhang Wen are both dressed in the costumes of this world, and so is Dong Yuan.

But if you look closely, you will find that the three of them are wearing a layer of clothes on the outside, and the inside is still the original clothes.

Return to the real world, what you wear when you return, and what you still wear after returning.

But the "gods and demons" will give some small help.

It's as if in the real world it is possible to "hide" equipment.

The clothes will also change their appearance to the way they were when they entered and will remain for a while.

After that, it will turn to ashes, and it will not be kept like props and equipment.

"We found a very important clue." Ma Qiang and Zhang Wen glanced at each other and spoke.

"Oh?" Dong Yuan raised her tone slightly.

"Skull." Ma Qiang said, "A skull should be able to find out where the little match girl is, but we don't know the specifics." But it must be useful, and the monk was reluctant to leave his hand for a moment. ”

"What do you want?" Dong Yuan said.

"It's very simple, we work together, take the skull together, and complete the mission together." Zhang Wen said.

The two of them knew that they would definitely not be Tang Luo's opponents.

If you want to get the skull, you must cooperate with Dong Yuan, so that you can have a chance.

Dong Yuan didn't speak, reached out and tapped lightly on the table.

Ma Qiang and Zhang Wen waited for her reply.

"Reason." Dong Yuan asked.

"He's already planning to abandon us, and may even use us as cannon fodder." Ma Qiang said viciously, "Just because we didn't play any role!" ”

Dong Yuan frowned, and then stretched: "Yes, but you all have to listen to me next, I don't want you to make assertions at critical moments, resulting in the failure of the mission, so I won't be polite." ”

"Don't worry."

"We have measure!"

Ma Qiang and Zhang Wen glanced at each other, and the stone in their hearts fell.

It's done.

Next, it is necessary to make good arrangements for how to take the skull off.

It is not difficult to have them to do the internal response.

Midday.

Tang Luo, who had just gone out, was stopped by Ma Qiang and Zhang Wen.

"Master, master." Ma Qiang smiled.

"Oh, is there something going on with Lord Marsh?" Tang Luo is still a strange "shape" holding a skull with one hand.

Speaking of which, these days, when he wanders around Ansan City like this, there are terrifying rumors such as "weird monks" and "white-haired ghosts in white clothes".

After making Ansan Castle "night", it became quieter than before.

Sins, sins, sins.

"We want to invite you to drink, as a reward for the master's care for us these days, and ...... There are some things I want to discuss with the master. Ma Qiang said.

The two donors laughed. Tang Luo said with a smile, "The poor monk is a monk, and he doesn't touch wine and meat. ”

“……”

The smiles on Ma Qiang and Zhang Wen's faces suddenly froze.

Don't stick to wine and meat?

If you don't drink, you don't have to drink, I really haven't seen this monk drink.

But the meat—

Early this morning, aren't you the one who was there to feast on a roast suckling pig?

Now you tell us that you are a monk?

Doesn't your conscience hurt?

"This ...... This ......" Ma Qiang was stunned.

"Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha stays in his heart." Zhang Wen said, "The master is a high-ranking monk, how can he stick to this kind of superficial work? ”

"There's another sentence at the end." Tang Luo said.

"Master, we really want to thank you, and if there is something really going on, don't joke with us." Ma Qiang bypassed the extra topic and forced his return to the main line.

"Just say something. I really want to thank the poor monks, and ask the two of you to do a lot of good deeds and accumulate virtues. Tang Luo said.

Ma Qiang lowered his voice: "The stakes are high, there are many people here. ”

"Okay." Seeing that both of them looked very serious, Tang Luo agreed.

The three of them came to the box of a restaurant.

Ma Qiang and Zhang Wen had obviously prepared for a long time, and the exquisite dishes were ready.

It's just that the time has been delayed for a while, and it has become a little cold.

"Master, you're welcome." Ma Qiang said with a smile,

Tang Luo put the skull on the seat next to him and ate it unceremoniously.

It's really wine and meat through the intestines, and it's not ambiguous at all.

The wind swept away, and Ma Qiang and Zhang Wen didn't eat a few bites.

Ma Qiang, who watched it, was distressed for a while.

The price of this table is not low.

In the past few days, the Lu family has bribed them with money, and it has been spent all at once.

However, the two obviously forgot that their money came from the Lu family.

Why did the Lu family give them money?

Because of their retinue of Master Xuanzang.

So, at the end of the day, it's Donlo's money.

Putting down the chopsticks, Tang Luo looked at the two who hadn't eaten a few bites and said, "Okay, what important things do you want to tell me?" ”

"Master, do you know about the tragedy in the painting boat?" Ma Qiang asked. The wings of his nose twitched slightly, and there was a fishy sweet smell in the air?

"Yes."

"That night, the two of us were out investigating the little match girl." Ma Qiang continued, "It happened to be near the painting boat. ”

"Really?" Tang Luo remembered that Lu Zhi told him that his two entourages had come back late that night.

"Hmm." Ma Qiang nodded, "We know some news, it is rumored that that night, someone saw a white-clothed ghost nearby!" ”

"White-clothed ghosts?" Tang Luo became curious.

"Yes."

Ma Qiang nodded, "I heard that white-clothed ghost is wandering around the painting boat, and he still has a skull in his hand-"

Speaking of this, Ma Qiang suddenly stopped.

Doesn't that feel like there's something wrong?

"Master, it can't be you, right?" Zhang Wen couldn't help but ask.

Dressed in white, still holding a skull, isn't it Xuanzang in front of him!

"yes, yes, I stopped by that night and went to investigate." Tang Luo nodded, "It's a pity that nothing was found." ”

“……”

Ma Qiang was speechless for a while.

Yes, the rumors used to delay time are actually the monk himself.

In other words, has Dong Yuan's arrangement taken effect? Why does this monk still look so radiant?

Said to be colorless and tasteless, it will never be discovered, and what about the skills that can make the other party sleep?

Forget it, we have to continue to procrastinate.

Ma Qiang was about to say something, but he felt a little itchy in his throat, coughed twice and asked, "Master definitely doesn't know who the two of us saw that night." ”

"Who?" Tang Luo asked.

"Dong Yuan! That Dong Yuan - cough cough cough! Ma Qiang and Zhang Wen coughed violently at the same time.

"Oh? Did she have something to do with what happened to the boat? Tang Luo asked.

I originally thought it was another strange thing in Ansan City, but I didn't expect it to be done by Dong Yuan?

"I don't know, but—ahem, look at her—ahem." Ma Qiang coughed and his face turned red, waved his hand, unable to speak, and motioned for Zhang Wen to speak.

Zhang Wen took a sip of wine and suppressed the urge to cough: "We saw her in a hurry at the time, and it was estimated that - poof!" ”

Before he finished speaking, he felt sick to his stomach and couldn't restrain himself at all.

It squirted out.

It's just that instead of vomit, he squirted out a lot of blood.

Zhang Wen stared blankly at the blood stained by the leftovers on the table, and was stunned.

"Uh-"

Ma Qiang, who was next to him, grabbed his neck at some point and let out a breathing sound like a bellows.

The face turned from crimson to purple-red and began to swell.

The same goes for Zhang Wen.

But the expression on his face was more dazed, frightened.

There wasn't much pain.

The situation of the two of them was exactly the same as the corpse Tang Luo saw on the painting boat.

The only difference is that the two are not dead yet.

But it's also coming soon.

Ma Qiang began to lean back, stretched out one hand, and grabbed twice in mid-air in vain, but failed to catch anything.

He fell out of his chair, slammed into the floor, and began to convulse.

In the corner of the box, folded up, behind the inconspicuous screen, a person walked out.

It's none other than Dong Yuan.

"You-"

Ma Qiang reluctantly stretched out and grabbed Dong Yuan's feet who came over, "Why?" ”

He asked in a rotten voice.

What about killing this monk together and completing the task? Why, why are they dying now?

He wanted to know the answer, or he wouldn't be blind.

"Why?"

Dong Yuan belongs to the interpretation school, just like Tang Luo, who sits firmly on Mount Tai, belongs to the listening school, "Since you can betray him, you can naturally betray me, I don't need to put two time bombs by my side." ”

Ma Qiang's eyes widened and he didn't move, with endless remorse.

For them, Dong Yuan is a must to deal with Monk Xuanzang.

But the two of them, but not, can be completely abandoned after achieving their goal.

With a push of his hand, pushing Zhang Wen's stiff body aside, Dong Yuan looked at Tang Luo and said, "Master Xuanzang, your resistance is good." ”

The room was filled with a terrible colorless poisonous gas, but there was only a hint of fishy sweetness.

This is Dong Yuan's skill - deadly poisonous mist.

The people on the painting boat were indeed killed by her.

"Give me the skull, and tell me all the information you've got, and I'll spare you from dying." Dong Yuan looked at Tang Luo and said.
