Chapter 16 Hiding a knife in a smile
Zhang Xiyun wanted to go to the cabin lobby to find the shipwright Zhao Er to get some materials for arranging the magic circle, so he went downstairs with Qin Heng, Li Ran, and Huang Qiansheng, while An Zhong and An Yi discussed with the guests on the third floor about changing rooms.
"I'll go and carry Yin Tianci's body first, and I'll see you upstairs when the time comes. When the four of them went down to the first floor of the guest room, Huang Qiansheng said to the others.
"Then Qin Heng and I will go and pack up our things first, Brother Zhang, do you have something you want us to help you take upstairs first?" Li Ran asked at the same time.
Zhang Xiyun shook his head and said: "I am also alone below, and my belongings are all on me, so I can just change the house." ”
Huang Qiansheng was about to leave, when Qin Heng asked him, "Brother Huang, don't you need to tell your old servant about the room change?"
Huang Qiansheng's face changed slightly, and then returned to normal, and said with a smile: "No need, I told him yesterday morning, don't worry about me these days, I have my own important things." ”
After saying that, he left on his own, but Zhang Xiyun looked at his back meaningfully, and then turned back to look at Qin Heng.
"This Brother Qin, I don't know if I'm really stupid or pretending to be stupid? It seems that I don't even need to set up a magic circle. Zhang Xiyun thought to himself, and immediately left.
Qin Heng touched his head and said, "Hey, didn't Brother Zhang go to the bow of the boat on that road?
However, Li Ran figured it out a little, his heart sank, and he grabbed Qin Heng and said, "You wait, where is so much nonsense?"
The bottom warehouse of the ship, where there is no sunlight, is a place where sundries are piled up, dark and damp, the reason why they put Yin Tianci's body here before is also because the environment here can make the corpse decay slower.
There was a sound of footsteps, it was Huang Qiansheng who came down to move the corpse, after he walked into the warehouse, he lit the oil lamp on the side, under the faint light, Yin Tianci's corpse looked a little terrifying.
The blood on the corpse had congealed, and his head was placed on the chest of the disconnected upper half of his body, as if he were holding it in his arms.
Huang Qiansheng's face was no longer smiling, his face was indifferent, and there seemed to be ice in his eyes.
He bowed down and gently picked up Yin Tianci's head, Yin Tianci's eyes were wide before he died, and now he looks like he is dead.
The corners of Huang Qiansheng's mouth hooked up a cruel smile, and Yin Tianci's eyelids closed.
"I said a few years ago that I don't like the way you look at me, and sooner or later, I'll close your eyelids for you"
He snorted coldly, casually threw his head aside, but kept groping on Yin Tianci's two corpses.
"That Zhang Xiyun is right, if the thing is not in his room, then it must be on him. Huang Qiansheng groped for a long time, but still found nothing, he straightened up, his face was hideous, and he kicked at Yin Tianci's corpse.
"Yin Tianci, where did you hide your things!?"
"You just kicked Yin Tianci's corpse to shreds, and you can only vent your anger, but you still can't find what you want. ”
A slightly lazy voice sounded, abrupt in the quiet bottom of the ship.
Huang Qiansheng heard the voice and was stunned for a moment, but he seemed to have expected it, he turned around with a smile on his face and looked at the young man leaning against the wall of the boat in front of him.
"Brother Zhang, when did you guess that it was me?"
Zhang Xiyun stood up straight, and said with a smile in his eyes: "I have been a little suspicious for a long time, but it is just my intuition. ”
"Brother Zhang's intuition is quite accurate, so how is Brother Zhang sure that it is mine?"
Zhang Xiyun said with a smile: "Then I want to thank Brother Qin who lives next door to you." ”
"This morning, before arriving at Yin Tianci's room, Brother Qin said that although you claim to be a casual cultivator and travel outside, you still have an old servant with you, and you think you are a child of the family. ”
"But they ignore that if you are really a child of a family, and you go out to travel, why do you take an old servant with you, do you want him to serve you to dress and eat?
"And you yourself already have the cultivation of eight doors and four broken points, if your old servant is only a mundane mortal, if you take him on a trip and encounter a crisis, wouldn't it be tantamount to dragging yourself back? But if your old servant has a cultivated body, then why didn't the four seniors find him?"
"I see, it was Qin Heng's words that made you affirm my identity," Huang Qiansheng shook his head and smiled.
"Remember the salt stains we saw on the bow railing? I noticed that the two salt stains did not seem to be the same, and that the left foot left a noticeably less salt stain than the right foot."
"And this morning, Brother Qin gave me a positive answer, he had seen you go out with that old servant, and he said that your old servant is a cripple!"
"I was thinking back to the battle in the cabin hall that day, the masked man was a monk who was a soul soldier who fought against the flesh, it stands to reason that a cultivator on the path of the immortal body is a stubborn illness in the body, and he can heal himself, if he is your old servant, he can't be a lame person."
"Then Brother Qin told me again, although your old servant is hunched, he seems to be taller than you."
Zhang Xiyun smiled and said: "At that time, I finally understood, I think you deliberately disguised yourself in order to hide your identity, and the masked man pretended to be your servant, but he was very short and too easy to identify, but fortunately, he cultivated to walk on the path of immortals, and he was a monk who quenched his body, so he could control every part of his body, force his own muscles and bones, and make himself tall." ”
"And after forcibly pulling the muscles and bones, his physical body changed, and it was naturally difficult to get used to it in a short time, which made his legs and feet inconvenient for a while, and he was mistaken by Brother Qin for being a cripple."
"That's why where he lands, it's light and heavy!"
After Zhang Xiyun finished speaking, Huang Qiansheng burst into a sinister laugh.
"Yes, yes, it is worthy of the Tianqiong Sect, and his mind is delicate, so you said that Yin Tianci hid things by his side, and he lied to me?"
"Of course, those words are to lure you to show your feet, let you know that we will monitor each other in the future, and after the five seniors also come back, the chances of you being able to find things are getting smaller and smaller, so even if you still have doubts and uneasiness in your heart, you must take advantage of this opportunity when everyone is not around, and give it a go!"
"Besides, the bait I released to you doesn't have to be fake."
Speaking of this, Zhang Xiyun suddenly jumped up, and the sword shadow beside him flew out.
Huang Qiansheng saw that he wanted to snatch Yin Tianci's body, so he hurriedly stepped forward to protect it, raised his hand and swiped it, and an ink-colored "knife" word appeared.
The sword intent poured out, and Huang Qiansheng said with a smile: "Let me see how much real ability you have in this sect!"
Swords are connected, and swords are hidden in laughter.
