Chapter 222: Demon Spirit
Zhang Haotian: When they came to Duyunli, it happened to be the day before the Daoshi meeting. Zhang Haotian and the three of them came to the place where Zhang Lun's house lived, and the three of them temporarily lived in Zhang Lun's house during this time. Zhang Haotian and Zhang Jue arranged to live in the same house, and Zhang Lingmeng lived next door to them.
After tidying up his luggage, Zhang Haotian immediately wanted to run next door and ask his sister what she and Zhang Lun were discussing just now, but Zhang Lingmeng stood in front of his door first and called him and Zhang Jue to the hall for a meeting.
Zhang Jue looked dazed: "Eh, I haven't finished my luggage yet, so ....... in a hurry."
"Hey, I'll go if you tell you to go, there must be something important to explain, go!" Zhang Haotian impatiently pulled Zhang Du and ran to the hall.
Zhang Haotian came to the hall and found that Zhang Lun had already made tea and was waiting for them, and there was a person standing next to him.
"Let me introduce, this is Zhang Yi, the deputy team of the demon slaying team. Zhang Lun humbly introduced the young man in his twenties to Zhang Haotian and the others.
"Miss, hello young master. I saw that this guy was smiling all over his face, and he bowed deeply, giving people a villainous flattering posture, which made Zhang Haotian feel a little disgusted.
"Hello!" the three said in unison, and owed a debt.
And so, the meeting began.
"Haotian, you two must want to know what Uncle Zhang and I just discussed. Zhang Lingmeng said lightly, Zhang Haotian turned his head to look at Zhang Lingmeng.
"We suspect that the granddaughter of the Lord of Zhufang Pagoda is a demon!" Zhang said.
"What?" Zhang Jue and Zhang Haotian's eyes widened.
"Here's the thing, a month ago, when I was patrolling the Yunshui River, I accidentally spotted Zhufang Ta Tazhu's granddaughter Du Yunli playing alone by the river, and I wondered if it would be dangerous for her to play by the river as a six-year-old girl, so I walked over to remind her of ......"
Zhang Yanlu took a sip of tea, and then said: "But when I approached Duyunli, I found that she was holding a motionless fish in the palm of her hand, and she closed her eyes tightly, concentrated, and did not seem to notice my existence. I wondered what she was doing, so I stood by and watched quietly. ”
"And then?" Zhang Haotian asked.
"Then, my Detection Talisman started to react!"
"Huh?" Zhang Haotian was surprised again!
"Then the motionless fish jumped, and with a single leap it jumped back into the river, and my detection talisman flashed more and more. At this time, Watarunri spotted me, and she squinted to greet me, but I was nervously watching my detection talisman. Then, I wanted to reach out and pull the magical hands in the clouds, and it turned out ......."
"How's the result?" asked Zhang Jie.
"The Lord of the Zhufang Pagoda suddenly flashed in front of me, shook my hand first, and greeted me with a smile, I was just about to explain to him everything I had noticed just now that was unusual, but I found that the detection talisman was no longer flickering. Zhang Yan continued,
"After all, opposite me is the tower master of Zhufang Tower, I don't dare to act rashly, so I will give up that time, but before leaving, I found that the tower master's face was not good, and he also looked at Duyunli worriedly......"
Zhang Haotian couldn't wait to say: "But just by an accidental strange phenomenon, it can't be completely deduced that the daughter of the owner of the Zhufang Pagoda is a demon spirit, and it's ........"
"And if you cross the clouds...... It's called Duyunli, it's a strange name, and if Duyunli is a demon spirit, then wouldn't her grandfather, the master of Zhufang Tower, also be ......" Zhang Jue said what Zhang Haotian wanted to say just now.
Zhang Lingmeng and Zhang Yan glanced at each other tacitly.
"You don't know this, Duyunli has no blood relationship with the Lord of Zhufang Tower, no one knows where Duyunli came from, only that the Lord of Zhufang Tower found her in swaddling clothes on the bank of the Yunshui River six years ago. Zhang explained.
"The strange thing is that Duyunli rarely goes out, and once he goes out, he will definitely be accompanied by the master of the Zhufang Pagoda or the young master of the Zhufang Pagoda. ”
"Excuse me, is this young master of Zhufang Pagoda the son of the tower master?"
Zhang Yan heard Zhang Jie's question, frowned inadvertently, the teacup in his hand trembled slightly, and the sharp-eyed Zhang Haotian discovered this detail, but unfortunately he didn't feel strange.
"Oh, it's the tower master's son, that's right, he is mainly responsible for dealing with our demon slayer on the Zhufang Tower's side, so we actually have a lot of dealings with him on a regular basis. ”
"Speaking of the young master of Zhufang Tower, then everything that is going to be said next will deepen the suspicion that Duyun is a demon spirit. Zhang Lingmeng said lightly. Zhang Haotian suddenly found that his sister had been very calm, as if she was not surprised by all this.
Zhang Lingmeng continued, "According to Uncle Zhang Lun's letter, on the third day after that incident, the young master of Zhufang Pagoda suddenly asked Uncle Zhang Lun to meet alone in Cuizhu Pavilion, saying that he was discussing some things about Duyunli. ”
"That's right, to be honest, I was very entangled when I received his invitation, on the one hand, the subject was tempting, I had to go, and on the other hand, I ......."
"Are you afraid that the Zhufang Pagoda will want to harm you because of what happened that day?" Zhang Jue was very thoughtful.
"That's not it, after all, our Zhang family's status is prominent, and if we kill Uncle Zhang Lun, wouldn't it mean that there is really something wrong with Duyunli?" Zhang Lingmeng was more keen.
"I thought the same as Miss Zero Dream, and they didn't dare to have any bad thoughts. However, in order to ensure safety, I wrote a letter before I went and sent it back to the Zhang family headquarters, the content was to report the unusual things in the past few days, and I deliberately asked my subordinates to leak the details of my letter to him when dealing with the young master of Zhufangta. ”
"Why do you want to leak such a confidential matter to ......." Zhang Haotian was puzzled.
Because of this, the people on the other side of Zhufang Pagoda are even more afraid to have thoughts about Uncle Zhang Lun. Zhang Lingmeng explained.
Zhang Haotian suddenly realized.
"Yes, it will be more practical for me to go to the appointment. ”
"Then what happened when you went to the appointment. Zhang Jue asked impatiently.
Zhang Yan sighed deeply: "It was beyond my expectations!"
"Not only did the young master of Zhufang Pagoda not want to harm me, but he told me......." Zhang Yan deliberately paused, making the suspense of the scene a hundred times higher, "There are demon spirits in the clouds!"
Zhang Haotian was dumbfounded!
"This ......"
He said that he didn't want to hide it anymore, and that it was the intention of the master of Zhufang Pagoda to hide the demon spirit, and he knew that it would be exposed sooner or later, so he reported his father and wanted to kill his relatives in righteousness. ”
"I think he wants to usurp power. Zhang Lingmeng said leisurely, "The great crime of the Lord of the Zhufang Pagoda secretly hiding the demon spirit, the Holy Daoist Division will definitely not spare it, at that time, the Zhufang Pagoda will be leaderless, so who will sit back and enjoy it?"
"I don't care what his intentions are, I will still be skeptical of his words, and then he said that in order to prove that what he said is true, he will find a way to hide it from the master of Zhufang Pagoda and bring Du Yunli out to prove it to me. ”
"So has it been proven now?" Zhang Haotian asked.
Zhang Yan shook his head.
"It's weird, it's weird, the next day the person who was doing public relations with our demon slayer master turned into Shi Lao, the staff of the Lord of Zhufang Tower, I asked him, usually the young master came, why did he become Shi Lao, who has never gone out, today?"
"Then why?"
"It turned out that after the meeting that day, the young master of Zhufang Pagoda was transferred out of Duyunli by the master of Zhufang Pagoda! ”
"What a pair of fathers and sons!" Zhang Lingmeng smiled contemptuously.
"Haotian, if it were you, would you report your father?" Zhang Jue turned his head and asked Zhang Haotian.
"I ......" Zhang Haotian was speechless for a while.
"It's not strange!" Zhang Yi, the deputy team member who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interjected with a hippie smile; "Everyone here knows that the young master of Zhufang Pagoda is just the adopted son of the tower master, and he is not related by blood, just like Duyunli." ”
Hearing him say this, the audience was silent for a few seconds.
"This amount of information is a bit large, I will explain it slowly in the future, let's get down to business, what should we do in Duyunli, Miss Zero Dream, the head of the family means ......" Zhang said.
"Grandpa decided that if he had the opportunity, he would test the identity of Du Yunli in public at the Dao History Conference. Zhang Lingmeng said firmly.
Zhang Jue immediately jumped out, "The head of the family is crazy?"
Zhang Haotian and Zhang Lingmeng immediately glanced at him.
"Well, I mean, isn't it unreasonable for the head of the house to do this. After all, so many people with status participated that day, wouldn't it be too faceless for us to do this? And it's okay for us to be able to find out that she is a demon spirit, but if we find out that this is a misunderstanding, then won't our Zhang family lose a lot?"
Zhang Haotian nodded, he felt that it made sense, so he turned his head to look at his sister, wanting to hear her thoughts.
"Don't worry, since there are many doubts, you must definitely test. The test has to be tested on that kind of convincing occasion, so many people are watching, and the owner of the Zhufang Tower is not easy to deny. If it is really a misunderstanding, we will put the blame on the young master of Zhufang Tower, because he reported it first, and it will only be Zhufang Pagoda that will lose a big deal at that time, not our Zhang family. Zhang Lingmeng calmly analyzed.
"But ......" Zhang Haotian still has problems.
"Do you want to ask how we know if Duyunli will appear at the Dao History Meeting? ”
"This is the VIP list of the Dao History Society, which has the name of Duyunli, and before that happened, the Lord of Zhufang Pagoda planned to bring his granddaughter to this meeting, because Duyunli likes to be lively. Zhang Yan motioned for Zhang Yi to take out the arrangement table of the Taoist History Meeting.
"In case the Lord of Zhufang Tower is jealous of us, just find an excuse to let Yunli not attend, we can't do anything!" Zhang Haotian thought that this plan was not feasible.
"No, he will only make Du Yunli more suspicious. ”
"That's better than letting us test it out at the Dao History Meeting, right?" Zhang Haotian hurriedly said.
Everyone looked at Zhang Haotian a little puzzled, thinking that Zhang Haotian seemed to be on the wrong side.
"Well, I mean no one is stupid enough to know that there are tigers in the mountains, and they prefer to go to the tiger mountains. Zhang Haotian's face flushed.
"No, I remember Uncle Zhang said that as soon as the Lord of the Zhufang Pagoda appeared beside Duyunli, the detection talisman would not flash, and every time Duyunli went out, he was accompanied by the Lord of Zhufang Tower, since the Lord of Zhufang Tower usually dared to take Duyunli to appear, I think the Lord of Zhufang Tower had full confidence to shield our Detection Talisman, so he dared to take this risk. Zhang Lingmeng said.
"Miss Zero Dream is right, we usually think that Zhufang Pagoda is insignificant in the Dao Realm, but in fact, it is just that the previous Zhufang Pagoda Tower Masters are low-key, to say that the current Dao behavior of the Zhufang Pagoda Lord, according to my observations here for many years, can only say that he is unfathomable. Zhang Yan said, "Let's put it this way, if he really has to deliberately cover Duyunli, all of us here together can't do anything about him." ”
"Is it?, if we don't try, how do we know that we can't do anything about the tower master?" The corners of Zhang Lingmeng's mouth rose slightly, making Zhang Haotian look a little suspenseful.
At this time, the scene was silent for a few seconds, and everyone may be a little surprised that Zhang Lingmeng didn't know where he got the courage.
"However, it is not ruled out that Du Yunli will not attend, after all, what Young Master Haotian said is also reasonable, if I am the master of Zhufang Pagoda, I will also consider not taking this risk. Zhang Yan did not say anything to death, and completely opposed Zhang Haotian.
As soon as Zhang Lun's voice fell, the scene fell silent again, maybe everyone felt that this possibility could not be ruled out!
Zhang Yan suddenly realized something, and said, "Oh, you just came here, you should have a good rest, I was negligent, let's get here today, you go and have a good rest first, I still have something to go out for, Zhang Yi, you go back to the base camp and wait for me first." ”
So, everyone dispersed at Zhang Lun's suggestion and went back to their places.
