Someone was playing the huqin out of nowhere, and his voice was hoarse and desolate.

I brought some warm tea to my master, some of which he swallowed, and some of which overflowed down the corners of his mouth, and I hurriedly wiped them off with a handkerchief. Next to the carriage was a thorny jujube tree, the leaves had fallen a lot, and there were a few dry dates on the branches, and when the wind blew, those dates trembled slightly, as if they would fall at any time.

I looked at the dates and suddenly turned my head to look to the side.

The man in gray was riding on the side, his head bowed.

Just now I felt like someone was watching me, maybe it wasn't him.

After resting for a while, we continued on the road, and my father pointed out a few words to me that I didn't understand in practice, and asked Lei Fang what he had learned about swordsmanship. Lei Fang had a feeling of being restrained in front of his father, and he replied very respectfully, and he didn't dare to move when he sat there. The father spoke slowly, and his tone was very warm, but Lei Fang was still very restrained.

When we stayed overnight, I asked her why, but she wouldn't say. I asked again and again, and she whispered, "You father-in-law...... Living in such a place, with such a servant so secretive, is it ...... I'm always afraid of him......"

"Afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid he's not alive......"

I was stunned, came back to my senses and forced a smile: "Are you afraid that he is a ghost?" ”

When Lei Fang saw my expression, he was a little anxious: "Don't believe it." I've heard people say that there are the most wild fox spirits in the mountains, and even a stone can become a demon over time, this person, this person...... Anyway, I don't think it's right. ”

"What is a demon?"

The father lifted the curtain and got into the car, Lei Fang's face turned red, and he whispered, "It's nothing...... It's just that I heard that there are often foxes and ghosts in the barren mountains and wilderness......"

I didn't want my father to say, "It's not a rumor, things that have been old for a long time often have spirituality, and I've seen it." ”

The two of us were amazed and asked together.

"That's a spirit ape raised by the deceased. I don't know how old it is, but my old friend treats it as a child, it can make fire, make tea, polish ink, welcome guests, play drums and blow trumpets, and it understands some simple things that others say to it, but it can't say it himself. He usually wears a short shirt and a hat buttoned up on his head. From a distance, you can't tell it's an ape. When it does something wrong, reprimand it, it will come over with a bamboo ruler and be willing to be punished. ”

I was amazed with Lei Fang, and Lei Fang said, "Ouch." Is this ape going to become a sperm? So what happened to it? ”

The father whispered, "When my old friend died, the ape refused to eat or drink, so he went with him." The family buried the ape with his old friend. ”

We were silent together.

This ape is so affectionate and righteous, but it is stronger than many people.

The car went forward again, and there was a mountain road behind it. The road surface is uneven, but the car is not bumpy. Lei Fang was not restrained at this time, so he had the heart to pay attention to the special features of this car. From the outside, it looks unremarkable, but on the inside, it is very spacious, for example, more spacious than a seven-foot-wide bed. The car can also be divided in half. Shi Gong lay quietly in the back, separated by a curtain. The three of us sat in front of us and set up a low table. Under the seat is a small cabinet that can be opened, and the luggage is placed inside.

This car is just an ordinary carriage found from Leijiazhuang, and it turns out that this is not the case in the car.

She whispered to me, "Is this also an illusion?" ”

I hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Isn't illusion fake?" Lei Fang touched the table and touched the wall of the car: "But this can only be so true......" She also straightened her feet: "If it's fake." I'm straightening my feet now, how can I not touch something? ”

Lei Fang is a layman. Her understanding of illusion is just a small trick, which can be seen but not touched. Some people who walk the rivers and lakes will make the sky rain when they are festivating, but those who fall to the ground will disappear. That's a kind of illusion. There is also the kind of person who does evil with a little skill, and will let the traveler see that there is a smooth road ahead, but when he steps on it, he falls into the abyss and dies, and his luggage and belongings are swept away—

Those are just looking at them, not touching them.

Only deceived the eyes.

And the profound illusion ......

I thought about it, took out a cup from the cupboard, held it in the palm of my left hand, and slowly stroked it with my right hand above the rim.

When he removed his hand, a cup of fragrant and hot mandarin tea appeared in the cup.

"This ......"

Lei Fang's eyes were about to pop out.

Although we have known each other for so many years, she practices swordsmanship and I practice illusion, and we don't usually talk about these things, and I haven't shown her such a special demonstration.

"This tea ......" Lei Fang took it, smelled the fragrance, looked at the color, changed the tea from his left hand to his right hand, and shouted: "It's still hot." She looked up at me in disbelief: "How did you get this?" ”

"You can still taste it."

Father looked at us with a smile.

She held the tea as if she were walking on thin ice, carefully picked it up, sniffed the tea again, and took a shallow sip.

"Huh?"

Lei Fang's expression at this time was extremely interesting, like a cat who was coaxed to chase his tail but couldn't catch up, innocent and confused.

"What does it smell like?"

Lei Fang shook his head: "There is no smell." ”

"Yes, because it is more difficult to deceive than the eyes, ears, nose, and tongue. My skills are not enough, so you can't taste this tea. My master, my master, if they show it—"

"Doesn't that mean that if I want to eat something delicious, I don't have to spend money to eat it, and I just ask you to change it and change it? Moreover, if you enjoy it again, will you not get fat after eating? ”

I was stunned, and my father couldn't help but laugh.

This girl! Practicing kung fu together to the realm of my master and master, but it only fulfilled her delicious appetite?

At that moment, something flashed through my mind.

I was in a trance, and Lei Fang shouted at me several times before I came back to my senses.

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay...... It seems like something important, but I can't think of it. Forget it, I don't want to. ”

Lei Fang put down the already empty teacup and leaned closer: "I'll help you think about it, since it's an important matter, it's best to think about it early." "She and I know each other very well, and sometimes I can guess what she thinks. If I have anything on my mind, I will say it to anyone I can discuss with her.

"Hmm, what you think has anything to do with the tea just now?"

I hesitated: "I can't tell." ”

"So, you just talked about your master and master, but is there anything related to them?"

I shook my head too.

Lei Fang asked a few more words, and I shook my head.

She pursed her lower lip and asked in a low voice, "Is it related to our family's business?" ”

I was stunned and nodded slowly.

Lei Fang was also stunned.

Yes, it is related to Leijiazhuang.

I remembered that the thing that passed through my mind just now was the night Gu that poisoned the lives of more than a thousand people in Leijiazhuang.

I can't figure out who poisoned or what method of poisoning. Yan San'er said that this poison is colorless and tasteless in the drinking water, and there is only a trace of a very faint and imperceptible fishy smell-

But there are so many people up and down in Leijiazhuang, and there is no shortage of powerful people who have been famous for a long time, but no one is aware of this fishy smell?

Or, how did the Gu goss cover up the smell, or did they deceive everyone?

I looked at the empty cup on the table, and I couldn't stop feeling a chill in my heart.

Don't...... Did you use illusion to hide the fishy smell of Gu poison?

The car was very quiet for a while, and I could only listen to the breathing of a few of us.

Suddenly, there was a soft "ding" sound, and the red thread on my wrist suddenly coiled and tightened as if I had become conscious, and the beads at the end of the rope struck each other, stretched out and shot out of the curtain of the car.
