Chapter 441: Antecedents and Consequences
Seeing the box handed over by Master Lianshan, I couldn't help but move in my heart, last time Ye Ye caught up with me with this box, hoping that I could stay and help, but I refused, and looking at the appearance of Master Lianshan now, it seems that he is rushing to give it to me, is it possible that there is something greasy in this? Otherwise, he wouldn't have to be in such a hurry.
"The master is polite, the so-called merit is not rewarded, and even if you really have to pay for it, it shouldn't be the master to pay, right?" I didn't take the box, but looked at Master Lianshan and said.
"Actually, this thing should have belonged to Xiaoyou, and I'm just taking it out now just because it's just a coincidence." Master Lianshan said with a smile.
"It's mine? The master should know that the monks don't speak, right? I glanced at Master Lianshan suspiciously.
"Xiaoyou only needs to open the box to know, why bother to test it here?" Master Lianshan seemed to see through my thoughts, so he said directly.
"Then the boy is disrespectful." I thought about it for a moment, took the box, and opened it gently.
When I saw the contents of the box, I couldn't help but breathe, and then closed the box again, "How did the master know that this thing belonged to me?" ”
I can be sure that the contents of this box are real, and they are what I urgently need at the moment, but the more this is the case, the more doubts I have in my heart, and I don't think that Master Lianshan can really know five hundred years in advance and five hundred years later.
I've seen it clearly just now, the things in the box are the fragments that I have been collecting, if I add this one, I have a total of five fragments, according to the size and proportion, as long as I collect the last piece, I can restore the true face of this artifact.
Therefore, when this fragment reaches my hands, it is destined to be impossible to return to Master Lianshan.
"I know your master's character very well, he will definitely pass this thing on to you, and even if he asked you to come to me, he was also fighting the idea of this thing, he had been thinking about this piece in my hand back then, and now it's just the right time." Master Lianshan said slowly, not feeling distressed at all after giving this thing.
I'm sure the other party must know the preciousness of this fragment, and now that the time has come, it's obvious that he can't send me away, but since he has already said so, he naturally doesn't want me to get to the bottom of it, so I'm happy to pretend to be stupid, anyway, as long as the thing is in hand.
"Then thank you, Master." I thank you directly.
"To each his own according to his needs." Master Lianshan paused after speaking, and then continued: "Xiaoyou saw that thing last night, right? ”
"But the mandrill was the master talking about?" I straightened up, and at the same time glanced at Ye Ye next to me, her face was slightly pale at this time, it is estimated that she already knows what happened at home last night.
As for the cruel things like mandrill killing people and gratifying brains, Ye Peimin shouldn't have told her that there will definitely be something to hide.
"Exactly." Master Lianshan nodded, "This mandrill actually has a deep cause and effect with the Ye family, so it will find Xiao Yezi, speaking of which, Xiao Yezi is just a generational experience." ”
"Generational?" I glanced at Ye Peimin and found that his face was also a little unsightly, and it could even be said to be guilty.
"Because I am bound by an oath, I can't leave the Five Ancestors Temple, and I can't do anything about that mandrill, so I can only bother Xiaoyou about this matter." Master Lianshan continued.
"After the payment is received, I will naturally do my best, but the master doesn't really think that I can kill that mandrill, right? If that's the case, then I won't let that mandrill escape last night, and the two people introduced by the master seem to be a little weak. I looked at Master Lianshan and said, this sentence is equivalent to direct suspicion.
That mandrill is equivalent to the third realm, and Master Lianshan actually only introduced two people from the late stage of the second realm, isn't this joking with the lives of the two? And I believe that with the communication of Master Lianshan, it is impossible not to find even a third realm.
"Even if Xiaoyou didn't arrive last night, the two of them would not be in danger of life, the mandrill and the Ye family have cause and effect, and the stronger the strength, the more unsuitable it is to get involved." Master Lianshan's words solved the doubts in my heart, but it also made my face gradually become serious.
"Does the master look down on the kid? Think the kid is young and has poor strength? I looked straight at Master Lianshan and said.
"Xiaoyou misunderstood, although I didn't fight with Xiaoyou, but I can feel that Xiaoyou's strength is not a weak hand even in the third realm, the reason why I chose Xiaoyou is because Xiaoyou's life is peculiar, and he can not get involved in cause and effect in this matter, and it is precisely because of this that I calculated that Xiaoyou is a noble person of the Ye family, and instructed Brother Ye to go to Tianzhu Mountain to find fate." Master Lianshan explained slowly.
"No cause and effect? Is the master joking? "I looked at Master Lianshan with some suspicion, I don't believe that my life can be free from cause and effect, if this is the case, I will not be jealous of the heavens because of the blood of the phoenix before, and I almost died when I broke through.
"If Xiaoyou doesn't believe it, I can tell Xiao Yezi's birth date, and Xiaoyou will know at a glance." Master Lianshan smiled slightly, with an expression of victory.
I didn't say anything, but I fell silent, not touching cause and effect, I'm afraid I will also get other things, right?
So I just pretended to be deaf and dumb, when I didn't know what to do, took something, finished the work, and left when the time came.
"I don't know what the secret relationship between the mandrill and the Ye family is?" This time, I looked at Ye Peimin and asked.
Ye Peimin hesitated for a moment and began to speak slowly.
"It's a long story, but it actually starts with Yezi's grandmother, who lived in the mountains back then, was beautiful and kind, and adopted an ugly monkey with flaws when she was young."
"For this reason, the little friends in the village make fun of this monkey all day long, and bully it, but every time, the grandmother of the leaf will stand in the way, and chat with the monkey every day, time is more than ten years, during which many strange things have happened in the village, some small animals will disappear for no reason, and the glass of the village people is often broken."
"At first, no one suspected that the monkey did it, until by chance, someone found the clue, for this reason, the village people decided to execute the monkey, or Ye Zi's grandmother desperately protected the monkey, since then, the monkey has lost its trace, and no one has seen it again."
"At that time, Yezi's grandmother was sad for a long time, and even suspected that the monkey was secretly killed by the village."
"The day I met Grandma Yezi, it was she who built a grave out of stones for the monkey, and I hid there crying alone, and I became acquainted with her and quickly fell in love." When Ye Peimin said this, his face was full of happiness, as for the monkey he said, not only me, but even Ye Wen and Ye Ye, who heard the truth for the first time, could guess it.
As for Master Lianshan, he had already closed his eyes, not knowing that he was immersed in his own world, and was still listening with his eyes closed, but in my opinion, he obviously knew the truth for a long time, and was not interested in listening again, so he simply went to the outside world.
"Later, Ye Zi's grandmother left the mountain with me, and after that, we got married and started a family, but the bad news also came at that time." Ye Peimin had already clenched his hands, and the happiness on his face turned into grief and indignation.
"What's the bad news?" Ye Wen couldn't wait to ask, obviously she was already immersed in her father's story, she had never heard the story of her father and mother since she grew up so much.
"Grandma Ye's village was slaughtered overnight, but no murderer was found, leaving only blood all over the ground and a few hairs similar to animals, but according to the judgment of the police at the time, it should be a human being, and the wound was a murder weapon like a claw."
Hearing Ye Peimin say this, I suddenly remembered the pair of sharp claws of the mandrill, and then based on the height of the mandrill that is slightly lower than that of a normal person, as well as the habit of shooting, if it is only judged by the wound, this inference has some basis.
However, Yezi's grandmother was stunned when she looked at the hair left over from the scene, and it wasn't until one day that she told me the truth.
"On the night of returning from the village, the monster found Yezi's grandmother, and even wanted to take Yezi's grandmother away, but was just touched by Master Lianshan and drove away the monster, originally I thought that this was the end of the matter, and for a long time, the monster did not appear."
"Until three years ago, it seemed to be a coincidence that Ye Zi went to play in the mountains with his classmates, but ran into that monster, but the monster did not harm Ye Zi, but only left a mark on Ye Zi's arm."
"What kind of imprint?" I thought about it and interrupted Ye Peimin's words, although he described it very carefully, but in my opinion, there must be something hidden by him, the sentence when Shanxiao left last night, after my continuous analysis, those five words should be: You don't keep your promise.
It can be seen that there have obviously been some transactions between this mandrill and Ye Peimin, and Ye Peimin has always been just a monster monster, but he has never called this monster's real name, Mandrill, I don't know if he is because he hates it too much, or if he is deliberately avoiding something.
Since Ye Peimin chose to conceal it, it is not easy for me to expose him, and I believe that the truth of the matter will be known to me sooner or later, and the top priority now is how to deal with the mandrill, in the case that Master Lianshan cannot leave the Five Ancestors Temple, if I rely on myself, it will be difficult to kill the mandrill.
And in my heart, if the bloody case in that village was really done by the mandrill, then it really deserves to die, but thinking that Master Lianshan has been emphasizing cause and effect before, it is obvious that there is a reason for it, in short, this matter, no matter how I look at it, it is full of weirdness.
Ye Ye heard my curious mark, and his face suddenly twisted.
