Chapter Seventy-Four: Behind the Scenes

The backyard of Tao Shangqian's house looks a little desolate, except for the two dead tree trunks, but there is nothing more vibrant in sight. However, this backyard is also built with four large rooms, the two on the left seem to be idle rooms, which look very dilapidated, and the door is also locked, and outside the first room on the right, there is a tall incense burner.

Presumably, the first room on the right is a Dharma hall.

The second room on the right is open doors and windows, and I can see that there are lights shaking inside, Yu Yaoyao and I glanced at each other, and we both confirmed this room. Presumably, Master and Tao Shangqian are inside, if this is the case, then Tao Xuanyi's corpse is also inside? I immediately tiptoed to the door, then carefully leaned on the doorframe and peeked in.

Sure enough, the house was empty, except for the divine case placed in the center of the innermost, the most conspicuous coffin in front, the huge coffin. The coffin had not yet been painted black, and it looked like it had just been built, while Master and Tao Shangqian were standing on either side of the coffin, staring at the lid of the coffin under them.

Yu Yaoyao also came to my side at this moment, and was just about to look over, but she didn't know that this stupid girl was at her feet, and she sat down on the ground with an "oops", even though she hurriedly stood up and hid, but it still alarmed the master and Tao Shangqian inside. They looked at each other, and they all turned their heads to see it, and I immediately turned to the side, but ...... Master's stern voice followed: "What are you doing here?" Where else to hide? Come out! ”

I rolled my eyes at Yu Yaoyao angrily and said, "It's all your fault!" ”

Yu Yaoyao snorted suddenly, and immediately walked in with me, seeing Tao Shangqian and Master's stunned looks, I smiled awkwardly and said, "Master, Mr. Tao, Yaoyao has to follow in, I'm afraid that she will run around, and she can only ...... I can only follow the backyard......"

"Stinky two dogs! Everything depends on me! I won't pay attention to you......" When Yu Yaoyao heard this, she suddenly felt that her face couldn't hold it, and she turned her head with a red face.

Tao Shangqian sighed lightly and said, "Well, since they are all following up, it doesn't hurt to take a look together." As he spoke, Tao Shangqian slapped his palm hard and pushed down the lid of the coffin little by little, and then, Yu Yaoyao and I hurriedly ran to the master and looked into the coffin. But as soon as she saw Tao Xuanyi's corpse, Yu Yaoyao suddenly covered her mouth and turned around, her little face turned white with fright.

I frowned, but I saw that Tao Xuanyi's corpse had been changed into a brand new dress, of course, he was not wearing a shroud, because fifteen years can be counted as a century, and thirty years can be counted as a lifetime, and he is not yet thirty years old, so he should not wear a shroud. The focus was not so much on his clothes, but on his head, but the light of the lamp was too dim to see under his head. On the contrary, Tao Xuanyi's face was sallow, as if he had been dead for several days, and there was no sign of reincarnation.

Although I really wanted to touch the hole on the back of Tao Xuanyi's head was still there, in this case, I knew that I didn't have a chance to check it, and even the master could only take a look. After a long while, the master nodded: "The person is indeed dead, if he really uses the Nine Yin Great Tonic Technique, his complexion alone will change greatly, and Young Master Tao's corpse does not seem to have changed much, alas, maybe I misunderstood Mr. Tao, I'm really sorry!" ”

After saying that, the master gave up his hand apologetically. Tao Shangqian also sighed lightly, nodded slightly, and then closed the lid of the coffin before he spoke: "I have also heard about the recent murder in the town, but I am a person from the Xuanmen, so I naturally have a yardstick of restraint, even if I lose my mind for my son, I will not harm so many innocent people who practice the Nine Yin Great Tonic Technique." Again...... On the night Wang Shun's daughter was killed, I also had alibi evidence! ”

"Huh?" Master suddenly raised his head, stared at Tao Shangqian, and asked, "What evidence does Mr. Tao have to prove that he didn't have a chance to kill Wang Shun's daughter that night?" ”

Belch...... Didn't it just prove that Tao Shangqian didn't practice any Nine Yin Great Tonic Technique? It turned out that the master had never let go of his suspicions, no wonder Tao Shangqian followed up and threw out another piece of evidence. Tao Shangqian sneered and said, "If it weren't for Tao's mercy that night, Mr. Yang, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to break the trapped dragon array, right?" In the past few days, Mr. Yang's master and apprentice have been living in Tao Qiliang's house without telling Tao to help Tao Qiliang change his luck, do you think I don't know? ”

The master was suddenly shocked and asked, "Could it be that the mysterious person is really Mr. Tao?" ”

I was also stunned, that mysterious Dao is profound, and it is almost worth the master and Gu Tan to join forces to deal with it to have a few chances, if that mysterious person is really Tao Shangqian, then ...... Then this Tao Shangqian is too terrible, right? I really can't imagine that this world is actually a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and a mountain is higher than a mountain! I have never doubted this, in fact, many high-ranking people look no different from ordinary people on the surface, or even more ordinary than ordinary people, but they are often such people, who are capable people, and they never like to show off their talents.

Master also often taught me that if you think that your cultivation is outstanding in the Dao Sect, then you are very wrong, because if you can't find someone who is more advanced than you, it is the most stupid thing.

Tao Shangqian smiled and said, "Why can't it be me?" Does Mr. Yang really think that if I carry the name of a nine-fingered divine calculation, I can only do divination, and I can't use other techniques? ”

"Not really." The master shook his head and said in astonishment, "It's just that I feel a little different...... If the mysterious person that night is really Mr. Tao, then the culprit of this serial murder case can exclude Mr. Tao. Please forgive Yang for offending a lot before! ”

Tao Shangqian waved his hand and said: "Mr. Yang is merciful to the world, and he spares no effort to find the real culprit of the serial murder case, even if he suspects me Tao, there is nothing wrong with it." On the contrary, Tao admired Mr. Yang's personality even more, Mr. Yang, if it is useful to Tao, Tao is willing to do his best, besides, finding the real murderer of the serial murder case is also of great benefit to Ceramic Town, and Tao is also a person from Ceramic Town, so naturally he should not stand idly by. ”

The master bowed his hand again and said, "Thank you Mr. Tao for your kindness, but Mr. Tao has just lost his son, so it is naturally inconvenient to trouble Mr. Tao to help, but Yang failed to save Master Tao in time, and he feels deeply guilty." He will come to the funeral of Young Master Tao, and Yang will definitely come to mourn. ”

"The dog is a junior, how dare Mr. Lao Yang condescend and condescend to a junior." Tao Shangqian said sincerely: "Since Mr. Yang is still busy tracking down the real culprit of this serial murder, it is inconvenient for Tao to stay longer, I just hope that Mr. Yang will catch the real murderer as soon as possible and return the town to peace!" ”

Master solemnly clasped his fists and saluted: "Farewell!" ”

Immediately, under the eyes of the master, I hurriedly pulled Yu Yaoyao and walked out, Yu Yaoyao did not forget to say to Tao Shangqian: "Uncle Tao, Yaoyao will come to visit another day." ”

Out of the Tao Mansion, Master's brows were almost locked. I was puzzled and asked, "Master, do you really believe that the mysterious person that night was Tao Shangqian?" But why do I always think that mysterious man looks like a gray-haired old man? And that kind of Taoism, even the master ...... Anyway, I don't believe that Tao Shangqian has such a profound Taoism, and Tao Shangqian's face is fierce, and now he can't pretend to be kind in the past, if he is that mysterious person, it is impossible for him to show mercy under my bitter pleading that night. Moreover, that mysterious person only needs to move his hand one more time, Master, your dark four elephants will completely collapse, and it is impossible for the trapped dragon array to be broken! ”

Master turned his head to look at me and asked, "Then according to what you say, if it's not Tao Shangqian, who will it be?" ”

"Uh......" I was stunned, then scratched the back of my head, and said with a blank face, "I don't know ...... either"

Yu Yaoyao suddenly interjected curiously: "Brother Ergou, what kind of mysterious person?" I heard that you guys seem to be very powerful, can you let me meet them? ”

"See you big-headed ghost!" I glanced at Yu Yaoyao angrily, and then said: "That mysterious person is both good and evil, and he only does things according to his preferences and moods, if you meet him, maybe he thinks you are rude and willful, and maybe he will slap you into a pie...... Oops! Before I finished my words, I only felt that Yu Yaoyao suddenly stepped on my feet, and I suddenly jumped in pain.

Looking at Yu Yaoyao again, she was already pouting and staring at me angrily. And the master watched the two of us fighting, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, sighed lightly and turned around and walked away. I hurriedly caught up with Master and asked, "Master, what do you think?" If it weren't for Tao Shangqian, who would it be? ”

The master replied casually: "You have already finished speaking, the way of the teacher is not as good as that mysterious person, how can you tell if that mysterious person is Tao Shangqian?!" ”

Listening to the sour meaning in Master's words, I pouted, Master sometimes likes to play a little temperament, but I thought about it, and said: "Maybe Tao Shangqian has another identity, maybe he has a split personality, and if he becomes a mysterious person, he will be moody, and if he becomes Tao Shangqian, he will pretend to be a big-tailed wolf!" ”

Master suddenly looked at me like an idiot, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly shut up. It's just that the master seemed to be staring at me for something, and after a while, the master actually nodded and said: "You say so, but let the master think of something, maybe there is something hidden in this Tao Mansion, and this master will only help Tao Shangqian at the most critical time, but no one knows who this master is on weekdays!" ”
