The next day, the lecture proceeded as normal, and the content was about the use of the talisman knife.

Shi An secretly observed the actions of the three disciples while teaching, and the three of them listened very seriously, and Tang Zhi and Zhengyan were also listening and recording at the same time. Chen Qi listened very carefully as he did yesterday, but he didn't record it.

At noon, the class ended, and the three disciples were about to leave, Shi An said: "Chen Qi stay, I have something to say, the others can leave." ”

Chen Qi obviously didn't expect Mr. Yizhi to stay with him, and was stunned for a while. Zheng Yan was also taken aback, glanced at the two of them very strangely, and pulled Tang Zhi, who was pondering beside him, away.

Chen Qi walked up to Shi An with a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Yizhi, I don't know what you want to do with me?"

Shi An also smiled and said, "Chen Qi, do you understand what I have been talking about in the past two days?"

"You spoke in a simple and understandable way, and I understood it all. ”

"I've always wondered, why don't you record what I've told like the other two?"

"Well," Chen Qi rolled his eyes and said, "I have a memory that surpasses others, and I can never forget it, so I have already memorized the content of your professor." It is precisely because of this outstanding feature that Master Yuan Dao has always asked me to sell talismans to the outside world, keeping in mind every customer and every transaction in the past, and he can ask me at any time without having to go through the account books. ”

"So you're very familiar with the sect master?" Shi An asked seemingly casually.

"It should be regarded as the confidant of the sect master. Chen Qi replied without thinking.

Sure enough, as he expected, Shi An thought secretly, but this guy is really a strange thing, if it is really the Yuan Dao faction to plot his own "secret method", wouldn't this increase his vigilance against him?

"Then this time you were sent by the sect master to learn the formation, but you will lose the fat shortage that is easier to earn spirit stones, don't you think it's a pity?" Shi An asked further tentatively.

"It's not the sect master's intention to learn the formation, he originally sent a junior brother who lived next door to me, and the junior brother was unwilling to lose his job of three lower grade spirit stones every month, but it happened that I wanted to learn a skill, so I applied to the sect master to learn. Chen Qi replied with his eyes rolling.

Seeing this guy's expression, Shi An somewhat regretted that he had slowed down the progress of his cultivation of the Great Rebellion, if all the 128 distractions were split, he would be able to advance to the realm of touching gods, and at that time, he would only need to use the mind knowledge technique to find out the truth, so as not to listen to his nonsense here.

"Then the sect master is also willing to let you go?" Shi An asked patiently.

"I can't help it if I can't help it, I always have an old day, I have to continue to survive after leaving the Four Elephants, there is no way to live with good memory alone, and learning the formation is also for the sake of the future. He also understood my purpose, so he did not hinder me. His eyes were still rolling, and Shi An was disgusted by this expression, eager to gouge out those eyeballs.

"Sect Master isn't arranging anything else for you to do, such as probing my secrets or something?"

"No?" Chen Qi's eyes no longer rolled around this time, but looked at Shi An in surprise, "He didn't give me any tasks." ”

This answer was expected by Shi An, but his expression was indeed beyond his expectations, and this look did not look like he was lying.

"Really?" asked Shi An.

"Yes. Chen Qi's gaze met Shi An directly, without flinching in the slightest.

"Looks like I'm overthinking. After a few breaths, Shi An said calmly, "Chen Qi, since you are learning the formation method for your future livelihood, you must study and practice hard in the future, so that you can do it yourself." Okay, you can go back. ”

Chen Qi also calmed down for a while, turned his head and left, and when he was about to reach the door of the hut, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said very seriously: "Mr. Yizhi, you have to be more self-conscious." ”

With that, he turned his head and walked quickly out of the hut.

These words are not like what a disciple says to his master, nor like what a low-level monk says to a high-ranking senior, but more like the words of an elder, a high-ranking person.

Shi An couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

......

At the time, the edge of the tung forest. Zheng Yan told Yuan Daozi about Shi An leaving Chen Qi for questioning.

After Yuan Daozi sent Zhengyan away, he fell into deep thought.

"It seems that Shi Yizhi guessed that I would send a disciple who studied the formation to find out his secret. If Zheng Yan was left yesterday because she did not study the formation carefully, then why did she leave Chen Qi to ask questions today? Could it be that Zheng Yan's conversation yesterday showed clues that made him suspicious, so he investigated who was the spy one by one? Why don't you find Chen Qi to ask? No, or don't use him for the time being. Anyway, it's not in a hurry, let's look at tomorrow, if he also stays with Tang Zhi tomorrow, then it's certain. ”

Inside the Cave Stone. Before entering the Spirit Gathering Array, Shi An carefully sorted out today's conversation with Chen Qi.

Chen Qi's behavior today is quite puzzling to Shi An, according to his cognition, ordinary people dare not make direct contact with the other party when they lie, so they have subconscious actions such as rolling their eyes, squinting upwards, and staring at the objects in their hands.

Chen Qi's previous actions today undoubtedly confirmed that he was lying, but when he finally asked if it was the sect master's direct gaze, it didn't seem to be a lie. If it weren't for the fact that this guy had a strong ability to control his emotions, it meant that he wasn't the one sent by Yuan Daozi to find out his secrets.

Also, before leaving, what was the explanation for his solemn expression and admonishing himself to "do it for himself"? Is this sentence used to demonstrate to himself on behalf of Yuan Daozi, or is it a kind reminder to dispel his own vigilance against him? Shi An couldn't guess.

Should Tang Zhi be left to ask questions tomorrow? This question has been going back and forth in his mind for a long time.

He thought: No matter who among the three is a spy, Yuan Daozi must know about leaving disciples for two consecutive days, and Yuan Daozi may suspect that he has been wary of the three disciples, so leaving Tang Zhi tomorrow is undoubtedly to clearly show that he has indeed guessed the existence of Yuan Daozi's secret son, and is also actively looking for it, then Yuan Daozi will increase his guard against himself, and many things will not be easy to do in the future. If Tang Zhi is not left, Yuan Daozi's guessing will be reduced, and he may be more conducive to his own actions. Therefore, ignoring Tang Zhi is the best course of action at present.

As for which of the three of them was the spy, he could not tell now.

There is a possibility that the spy is Zhengyan, and the topic of Yuan Miaozi was involved in yesterday's questioning, and her response was flawless, and it is very likely that she had prepared in advance. According to this line of thinking, if she does not fully prepare in advance, she will show her feet, and if there are some important mistakes in the future, it will be easy to judge that she is a spy; if it is Chen Qi, it will be much more troublesome, today's conversation has undoubtedly shown his suspicion of him, and he is not sure that he will use any words that will help him judge in the mouth of that very shrewd person, which has caused Yuan Daozi to know his suspicions, but he has no way to figure out who he is or whether he is really a spy This bad situation。

Thinking about it, Shi An suddenly laughed, what are you doing so clearly? Anyway, I won't treat them with my heart, and I will never reveal any of my secrets, whether it is a spy or not, it is nothing more than to be careful in the future and be more vigilant against the three of them. Thinking of this, he easily entered the Spirit Gathering Array and cultivated.

The next few days were almost all reproductions of the third day, and after the three disciples greeted him in the morning, Shi An began to teach, and at noon the three of them were sent away, and then began to practice without sleep.

This approach made Yuan Daozi a little unable to sit still, if Shi An didn't have further contact with Zheng Yan, then how could he get closer and closer to that secret method?
