Chapter 56: The Monks Are Credible

It took Feng Zheng a lot of effort to find Tang Tang and Shen Changfeng, the two of them behind the dilapidated house.

It was struck by lightning or decayed by moths, and now only the bare tree is left with a withered sycamore blocking most of the figure.

Both men stood like this, with nothing in front of them, except for the ubiquitous pile of dry grass.

When Feng Zheng walked over, he saw Tang Tang raise the disciple he was holding in his right hand and put it to his mouth to prepare to play. He subconsciously covered his ears and jumped away with his feet.

Now that Feng Zheng has experience, Tang Tang plays the flute as soon as it is either a headache and a pain in the ears, or it releases a bunch of scary insects, anyway, just stay away.

Obviously, Feng Zheng guessed correctly.

In the sound of the flute, countless black and oppressive flying insects gathered over, and many of them called Feng Zheng felt hairy from head to toe, and felt that his body began to itch.

However, the insect suddenly flew into the grass and disappeared.

As Feng Zheng was stunned, he heard a faint, almost inaudible click. When he looked down, his eyes widened in surprise - the dead grass on the ground was disappearing at an alarming rate.

It was almost the time of a stick of incense, and the location of Tang Tang, within a radius of one mile, had become bare land, which had not seen sunlight for many years, emitting a heavy earthy smell.

Feng Zheng's mouth opened into a circle, and it took him half a day to close, holding a tree in both hands, poking out his head, and couldn't help asking, "What's going on with this?" ”

The sound of Tang Tang's flute answered him was rapid and short, like a call to a child who was out playing and refused to return home.

In the sound of the flute, the flying insects that had gathered together just now came out again, black and pressed like a black cloud, slowly flying away, flying straight to the edge of the sky and not visible.

Tang Tang's right hand flipped, the flute was retracted, and said, "This is a herbivorous insect." ”

Feng Zheng clapped his hands twice, with this bug, the grass doesn't have to be pulled, so effortless!

Without the cover of grass, the land took on the most basic posture, and Shen Changfeng's eyes were on a small mound a few feet away.

The rest of the land here is very flat, only this strange bag protrudes, this bag is actually not big, but Shen Changfeng just noticed it.

Beside him, Tang Tang said, "It seems that I am not mistaken. ”

The two of them walked to the dirt bag, Feng Zheng probed his brain for a long time, and after seeing that there was nothing strange, he wanted to follow.

After taking two steps, he suddenly realized - not now, I can't guarantee that Tang Tang will release something later!

After this realization, Feng Zheng rolled up his sleeves, climbed up a big tree hugged by three people, sat on the trunk, and rubbed his hands on his clothes with great satisfaction.

This line of sight was just right, Tang Tang and Shen Changfeng were not far from him, he decided to lie down here and take a nap, and go down the mountain with them later.

Tang Tang squatted down, resting his elbows on his knees to support his chin, and said sullenly: "This is the grave I made for my mother back then, and her favorite jade bracelet is buried in it." ”

That bracelet is not expensive, just because it is a token of love given to her by King Yue.

At that time, after Tang Tang's mother was burned alive, people didn't even let go of her corpse, although only a skeleton was left in the burn, she was still frustrated and scattered, saying that she would make her a demon girl immortal and never reincarnate.

Tang Tang forgot how the bracelet had fallen into the nearby haystack, so she picked it up, hid in the back of the house after everyone had left, and quietly buried it in it. She didn't dare to put the earth too high, for fear of being discovered, and she didn't dare to erect a monument, but even if she wanted to, a three-year-old child couldn't do anything.

Shen Changfeng wanted to comfort him, but he felt that it was empty to say anything, so he stood next to him and accompanied him quietly.

Tang Tang poked the soil on the small dirt bag with a flute, and over the years, this soil bag has been integrated with the land, and there are no traces of artificial accumulation.

She said: "My master said that the people of the Central Plains are stupid and selfish, they will deceive people, and the last thing I can believe in this life is the people of the Central Plains. ”

Shen Changfeng held his forehead, he felt that Nan Qifeng must have some misunderstanding about the people of the Central Plains. There are no people in this world, because there will be good people and a few bad people in every place, but it is not because of those few bad people that all the other people in this place are negated.

When Shen Changfeng felt that he should say this to Tang Tang, Tang Tang spoke again: "However, my master also said that if it is a Taoist priest or a monk, you can believe it once, and the monks do not speak." ”

Suddenly, Shen Changfeng seemed to understand why Tang Tang had to follow him when he saw him, it turned out that it was all because of Nan Qifeng's wonderful education.

Suddenly, Shen Changfeng couldn't laugh or cry. Originally, their cultivators were not monks.

However, Shen Changfeng faintly felt that the reason why Nan Qifeng said this was probably because he had an unusual relationship with his master Li Chunfeng.

As for how uncommon this is, Shen Changfeng can't hold it back, in short, it's very weird.

While Shen Changfeng was thinking nonsense, Tang Tang raised his head, looked at him and said, "Stinky Daoist, you can't deceive people, right?" ”

Shen Changfeng came back to his senses from his thoughts, looked at Tang Tang's, and then smiled lightly and shook his head: "No." ”

Tang Tang's dark eyes stared at Shen Changfeng's face, and after turning around, she suddenly stood up and said, "I don't believe it, unless you promise me one thing." ”

On the other side, Shen Lingjun and Su Musha searched for a long time but didn't find it, so they went down the mountain first.

The way back from this side is different from the way I came, and when I approached the city gate, I found that it was actually the opposite, and this side corresponded to the north of the city gate.

The two of them were just about to step into the city gate, when suddenly a dark shadow swept out from the side, sneakily jumping into the main city.

Shen Lingjun and Su Musha glanced at each other, and they had already moved at the same time and chased after them.

The two of them are both excellent in their own light skills, and it is not difficult to chase a person, but because it is in a small alley, the shadow drills in and out, and they dare not get too close, and they are always separated by a few steps for a while.

Reaching the front of one of the occupants, the shadow leaped into the open window.

Shen Lingjun and Su Musha stopped and observed the terrain, this is the northwest of Xinjin Mansion, where ordinary people live, the houses are all rows, and the spacing between them is not large, but they are blocked by a wall, forming a separate courtyard.

And this is the backyard of the house, and the houses here are like this, with two rows of houses in the front and back, and a row in the back for sleeping and stacking sundries, and the front is mostly used for shops.

Shen Lingjun sniffed, she could smell the scent of sauce duck in Xiao Li's shop!

Su Musha pushed the small door in the backyard with the Yuqing sword, but the door was not locked at all, and most of it was opened with a push.

The two looked at each other again, nodded silently, and decided to go in and have a look.

There are a lot of miscellaneous things piled up in the backyard, including wood and large stones, as well as all kinds of small bits and pieces, and it is impossible to see what the owner's family is doing for a while.

Since the shadow jumped into the window, there had been no movement, which made Shen Lingjun wonder.

An ordinary house that can't be ordinary anymore, did they misunderstand? But why did the shadow jump into this house?

Without Shen Lingjun to think too much, the two had already arrived at the door, and the door opened with a small opening, revealing a gap the size of half a palm.

Looking through the crack, Shen Lingjun and Su Musha both showed a subtle expression at the same time.

It is clear that this house is not ordinary, because, ordinary house is impossible to suddenly appear a dead person.

Shen Lingjun pushed open the door with the hilt of his knife, and the dark room was instantly illuminated by the incoming sunlight, so they could clearly see that the deceased on the ground was an old man, and the purple-black blood at the corner of his mouth had coagulated, obviously poisoned to death.

Su Musha walked to the window and took a look, there were half footprints left on the windowsill, judging from the footprints that it was a woman or a man of short stature, and then walked to the window on the other side, the same half footprints, indicating that the other party had left the house.

Shen Lingjun touched his chin and said, "What do you mean, deliberately leading us over to see a dead man?" ”

A word flashed in Su Musha's mind for a moment - planting?

Shen Lingjun squatted down from a step away to look at the corpse, a very ordinary old man, belonging to the kind that can't be found in the pile, his hair is gray, but his eyebrows are thick black, and he has a dignified face with Chinese characters.

Shen Lingjun looked down further, the old man's two hands were slightly curled, and before he died, he should have slashed the ground due to pain, and there was a lot of dust in his nails.

"Huh? These hands ......," Shen Lingjun tilted his head and looked at.

Su Musha leaned over a little and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Shen Lingjun pinched his chin: "These hands are very well maintained." ”

Su Musha glanced at it, and sure enough, as Shen Lingjun said, he was obviously a young man, but his hands were white and tender, as if they were the hands of a big girl, and they didn't match him.

Shen Lingjun leaned his head forward slightly, and said, "Mu Mu, look, is his finger a little different?" ”

The other fingers were curled up, except for one straight one, as if pointing somewhere.

Su Musha looked in the direction of his finger, where was a low table, there were a few small things on the table, there were wooden sailboats, small carriages that would turn when pressed, beautiful wood carvings with umbrellas, Kong Ming locks......

Shen Lingjun stood up and said as he walked over, "It seems to be a carpenter." ”

Just as he was about to reach out and take one to see, Su Mushu said in a loud voice: "Ling'er, don't move yet." ”

Su Musha squatted down, lowered his gaze, leveled his gaze with his fingers, and finally confirmed: "It's Kong Mingsuo." ”

"Huh?" Shen Lingjun picked it up puzzled: "What's wrong with Kong Ming's lock, isn't this a child's thing?" ”

Su Musha shook his head, he put his gaze to the side again, there were several paintings hanging on the wall, there were landscapes and flowers and birds, they were swept at random, this look, his eyes flashed with a touch of doubt, and he couldn't help but walk over.

Shen Lingjun was still tugging at the Kong Ming lock in his hand, when he heard Su Musha's faint sound: "I know who he is." ”
