At this time, Liang Houzai said to me: "I think Luo Youfang must have reached an agreement with Zhang Xiaopan at the beginning, as long as Zhang Xiaopan agrees to become the material for refining corpses, he can make Zhang Xiaopan's family worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life." Wang Qian definitely didn't know about this, Luo Youfang just revealed the matter of refining the corpse to us through her mouth. ”

As it stands, this seems to be the most plausible explanation.

But I'm still a little uneasy, because no matter what kind of agreement Luo Youfang and Zhang Xiaopan reached, he refined Zhang Xiaopan into an evil corpse, which is actually equivalent to murder, even if Zhang Xiaopan committed suicide, it seems that he was instigated and induced by Luo Youfang to commit suicide.

I stood there and was silent for a long time, until Liang Houzai said to me: "Actually, I think that if Luo Youfang is really our person, then there may be more than one person who knows his identity. ”

I raised my eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Liang Houzai said: "I think Chen Daochang should also know about this. You think, Grandpa Chai's yang god is incomplete, and he won't live more than seventy ......."

Speaking of this, Liang Houzai suddenly stopped, with an embarrassed expression on his face. He probably felt that it was inappropriate to discuss my master's lifespan in front of me.

It's not right, but I don't blame him. And I also understand what he wants to say, he wants to say that when my master learns that his limit is approaching, he will definitely tell Luo Youfang's identity to another person.

And the one most likely to know Luo Youfang's identity can only be Chen Daochang.

Of all my Master's friends, Daochang Chen has the best relationship with my Master, and he is also one of the people my Master trusts the most.

I patted Liang Houzai on the shoulder and said to him and Liu Shangang, "Let's go, go to Daochang Chen, it just so happens that we haven't seen him for a long time." ”

Liu Shangang: "You don't plan to go to Zhang Xiaopan's house to have a look?" ”

I smiled at him: "There's nothing to see, going to their house is nothing more than witnessing that Zhang Xiaopan's parents are doing well." Besides, people live quietly, let's stop bothering them. ”

Liu Shangang nodded first, and then asked me: "Why don't you ask Zhang Xiaopan's family, do they know where the money came from?" ”

Liang Houzai replied for me: "They definitely don't know the true source of the money, and Luo Youfang will not disclose any information about himself in order to protect himself." I think that in order to give them this money, whether it is Zhang Xiaopan or Luo Youfang, it is possible that they have made up a very beautiful lie for them. Let's not run to expose this lie. ”

Of course, what Liang Houzai said is only one of the possibilities, and there is also a possibility that Zhang Xiaopan's family does not need any lies at all, and can accept the money that their daughter exchanged for her life with peace of mind, this money full of blood.

But I prefer to believe Liang Houzai's words, and I hope that after Zhang Xiaopan's death, their parents showed the good side of human nature, not evil.

In the end, Liu Shangang did not insist on seeing Zhang Xiaopan's family, he started the car and took me and Liang Houzai to Chen Daochang's Taoist temple.

I haven't been to this Taoist temple for a long time, over the years, our small city, like most places in the country, has undergone earth-shaking changes, but this Taoist temple is still the same as when I first saw it, the ground is paved with old green bricks, and there is moss under the water tank outside the three major halls, and occasionally you can see a few slightly newer stone bricks, those bricks are incompatible with the surrounding environment, not only the color is very light, but the texture of the stone is also different.

Many years ago, the places where the new bricks were paved were damaged by the bronze armor corpses, and then the bricks were broken and replaced with new bricks, and they became what they are now.

And the incense here is also as sparse as in the past, I haven't seen a pilgrim for so long, only three or three Taoist priests are cleaning or boxing, outside the Sanqing Palace, I saw Wu Xiangsong looking at the sky in a daze.

This guy looks no different from the past, the first time I met him, he was a Ma Daha who could even draw the wrong talisman, but when he dealt with the golden armor corpse, the golden body summoned by Chen Daochang also looked exactly like him, at that time, I thought that Wu Xiangsong was probably different from what I imagined, he might be the kind of person who was wise and foolish.

But now that I see him in a daze, I can only think of "foolishness", as for the "wisdom" in great wisdom and foolishness...... I don't think Wu Xiangsong seems to have any fate with this word.

Originally, we didn't plan to talk to him, but as soon as we walked up to him, we heard him say, "Master is practicing on the back mountain." ”

His words surprised me a little: "How do you know that I am looking for Daochang Chen?" ”

Wu Xiangsong glanced at me: "You don't look for my master, do you come to me?" ”

When we think about it, we are not familiar with other people in the Taoist temple, so when we come here, aren't we just looking for Daoist Chen?

I smiled, didn't say anything, and continued to walk towards the back of the Taoist temple, but I didn't take a few steps, but I remembered that this Taoist temple has no back mountain at all, and out of the back door is a small forest, and then through the forest, it is the road.

At this time, Wu Xiangsong shouted at us again: "The back mountain is the mountain of mass graves." ”

In the past, when the Taoist temple had not been moved, it was indeed built at the foot of the Mass Grave Mountain, and it was not the back mountain.

I sighed helplessly, turned my head and walked towards the front door again, and passed by Wu Xiangsong again, and I found that he was leaning on the pillar outside the Sanqing Palace, and he was actually asleep.

Liang Houzai stared at him for a long time and said to me, "This guy is not what I imagined." ”

I said: "Chen Daochang said that he is a person with great opportunities, although I have never understood what he means by chance, but no matter what, Wu Xiangsong probably has some outstanding points." ”

Liang Houzai nodded.

Because Wangzhuang was not far from the Taoist temple, Liu Shangang didn't drive anymore, so we walked towards the village on foot.

I remember when I was a child, Wangzhuang was quite far from the city, but now Yong'an Road has been widened and lengthened, and if it weren't for the large area of arable land on the periphery of the network, it would almost have become an urban village.

When I was about to walk to the intersection, I glanced at Wang Dapeng's Internet café, when Yong'an Road was widened last year, their row of houses was completely demolished, and after the new street was built, Wang Dapeng opened a bigger Internet café in the old place, and I heard that the business was better than before.

But speaking of which, Wang Dapeng is proud of his business, but he has been stumbling emotionally, I heard that he got married the year before last, but he divorced less than three months after marriage, and I don't know what happened.

My Uncle Xia said that Wang Dapeng's fortune will turn around after he is twenty-five years old, think about it, he seems to be twenty-four this year, and it is estimated that he will make a fortune in one year.

When passing by the door of the Internet café, Wang Dapeng immediately pushed open the door and stuck his head out from inside: "Oh, Brother Dao, why are you back?" I'll invite you to dinner. ”

Every time he saw us, he would say, "I'll invite you to dinner," and it had become a habit for him.

I smiled and nodded: "Okay, the old rule, you pick the place, I will set the time." ”

Wang Dapeng grinned, and then beckoned us to come in and play, saying that there were still three empty machines in the Internet café.

In Wang Dapeng's Internet café, there is a very small private room, the machine in this private room is the best, and the environment is also the cleanest, but it is usually not open to the public. Although he didn't say it, I knew in my heart that this private room was specially prepared for us. Because there are only three machines in it, one contains my favorite games, one contains a lot of supernatural things that I love to watch, and one contains a lot of very old martial arts.

And these three machines are all open single line, independent hard disk, no need to log in to the account when booting, no need to swipe the ID card.

I just smiled and said that there was something to do, come back another day, Wang Dapeng didn't force us to stay anymore, just leaned against the door and looked at me silly.

He probably meant to say that I looked much better than the last time he saw me.

It's been two years, I've been decadent for too long, and many people are worried about me, in fact, I also want to tell them that Zuo Youdao came back two years ago, so that they can rest assured.

I have returned from the shadows to the sun, but Chen Daochang doesn't seem to have come out of the shadows yet.

When I came to the Mass Grave Mountain, Daochang Chen was sitting on the same horse that my master used to sit on, smoking a cigarette, and the cigarette stick was also left by my master.

He seemed to be thinking about something, and it wasn't until we reached the door that he let out an alarmed "oh" before standing up with a smile on his face: "Why did you come back?" ”

I said, "Anyway, the school has also finished the exam, and there is nothing to do, so I came back." Daochang Chen, why did you come to this side of Mass Grave Mountain? ”

Chen Daochang was a little absent-minded, and only responded to me after a while: "Oh, hey, those little cubs are too messy, I'll come here to be quiet and quiet." ”

As he spoke, I leaned over to the room and looked into the room, where the furnishings were still the same as when my master was alive, and the bed was still covered with a clean quilt.

It seems that Chen Daochang should have been living here all these days, otherwise the house would not be so clean.

Chen Daochang asked behind me, "The ghost market is about to open, right?" ”

I said, "This year is a month back." ”

It is said that the Soul Village should have notified the various sects of the postponement of the ghost market a month ago, and it is impossible for Daochang Chen, as my master's best friend, not to be notified.

He pondered for a moment before saying, "That's right, look at my brain, how did I forget to pinch it." ”

I found that Daochang Chen had been a little absent-minded, and sighed helplessly: "Master has been gone for more than two years. ”

Chen Daochang also sighed: "Yes, it's been more than two years. ”

After saying that, he first fell into a moment of contemplation, and after a while he said, "It's time to go, but in the end I can't stay." ”

While speaking, Chen Daochang stood up, he patted me on the shoulder, and asked me with a smile: "You guys, you can't come to see me, right?" Did you not find me at the Taoist temple, and Wu Xiangsong told you that I was here? ”

I also smiled: "I can't hide anything from the Taoist." In fact, we came to you today to learn about Luo Youfang. ”

The smile on Daochang Chen's face suddenly froze, he stared into my eyes and asked me very carefully, "What did he do again?" ”

I felt that there was something wrong with Daochang Chen's reaction, and his tone was not like an inquiry, but more like a temptation.

So I changed my tone and said a little more seriously: "He's coming for me." ”

Chen Daochang: "What are you looking for?" ”

I didn't answer, but asked, "Is Luo Youfang from our side?" ”

Hearing me say this, the corners of Daochang Chen's mouth twitched several times, he looked at me, and then at Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai, his face changed.

In my opinion, Chen Daochang's current performance is almost equivalent to giving me a positive answer.

I asked again: "Is Luo Youfang really our person?" ”
