Chapter 239: True Meaning
At that time, the branch of the Zhang family's demon extermination team, in front of the gate of Zhang's house.
Under the eaves lamp, we faintly saw two figures, one tall and one short, walking from a distance. Needless to say, it was Zhongli Tower Lord and Zhang Haotian, they were back.
They stopped in front of the gate, and Zhang Haotian said goodbye to the tower master politely before going in. But the tower master stood there motionless, and after Zhang Haotian noticed the tower master's abnormal behavior, he turned around and tilted his head to express his puzzlement.
At this time, the tower master smiled helplessly, and then turned his head slightly to look at the back.
Zhang Haotian realized that Zhang Lingmeng had appeared behind the tower master. A couple of letters in his hand. When Zhang Lingmeng appeared, many demon slayers of the Zhang family suddenly came over, including Zhang Lun, of course.
At this time, Zhang Lingmeng was the first to speak: "Zhongli Tower Master, although you are an elder, it stands to reason that I can't talk to you like this, but I still hope that you can give me a reasonable explanation!" After speaking, she held up the letter.
Zhang Haotian walked over suspiciously, dodged the letter in Zhang Lingmeng's hand, and looked at it.
It turned out to be a correspondence between the tower owner and Zhang Shui. Zhang Haotian looked at his sister: "This is what you found from Zhufang Pagoda?"
"Hmm!"
Zhang Haotian opened the envelope with an intriguing expression and looked at the letter. But Zhang Lingmeng ignored Zhang Haotian, and she told it in public:
Sure enough, my guess was correct. Zhongli Pagoda Master, you are in collusion with the people of the surname removal clan, and you have reached a shocking conspiracy through the demon spirits brought by the people of the surname removal clan!" Zhang Lingmeng continued, "These letters are proof.
"Now let me decipher the cause and effect of this conspiracy!
"A month ago, our Uncle Zhang Lun accidentally discovered the fact that Miss Duyunli was a demon spirit, and then the young master of Zhufang Pagoda, who had long known that Duyunli was a demon spirit, heard that Zhang Lun sent a letter back to the Zhang family headquarters, and he felt that he could no longer hide the fact that Duyunli was a demon spirit, after all, he also rejected demon spirits from his heart, so he asked Uncle Zhang Lun to meet that night, and confessed the fact that these Duyun were demon spirits.
"However, the secret meeting between the young master of Zhufang Tower and Uncle Zhang Yan made the tower master aware of it, and the tower master Zhongli Tower, who was bent on hiding demon spirits, could only disappear the young master across the clouds. However, Miss Duyunli was still suspected of what to do, and he thought of a way, which was to exchange the voice of Miss Duyunli and an ordinary girl through the forbidden technique of 'mirage change'.
"That's why at that Dao History Conference, our killing spell didn't work, because we weren't facing the real Crossing Cloud that day. ”
"But, Miss Zhang, I really can't argue with Zhang Shui, do you have any evidence that I used forbidden arts? Do you want to say that scale? But that scale is what my son of evil wants to use to frame me. Zhongli Tower Master said lightly.
"Oh, is it? But this scale has already been used, because the enamel layer on it has disappeared, how can you explain this? Besides, how can a young master of Zhufang Pagoda in his early twenties master such an esoteric forbidden technique? Only a person with advanced Taoism can operate this forbidden technique, and in this place in Duyunli, only you, the Zhongli Pagoda Master, have this ability!" Zhang Lingmeng was aggressive.
Zhongli Tower Master was silent. However, Zhang Yan asked puzzledly: "Zero Dream, since it is a fact that you think that Duyun is a demon spirit, and it has been changed by the forbidden art, then why did the Zhongli Pagoda Master contact the people of the clan with the surname to bring the demon spirit?
"This is because Uncle Zhang Lun, you have already discovered that there are traces of demons in this place in Duyunli, although the forbidden technique can well cover up the fact that there are demons in Duyun, but it can't cover up the information that there are demons in Duyun, so the tower master used the demon spirits brought by the people with the surname to blame all the traces of the demon spirits left in this place in Duyun to the demon spirits brought by the people with the surname, and by the way, the young master of Zhufang Pagoda bit back, and used a conspiracy theory to erase the authenticity of the young master's report. ”
Zhang Haotian has been silent.
The tower lord sighed and said, "Well, since the letter has been dug out by you, I don't want to make a fearless denial. That's right, as you Zhang Jia's eldest lady said, all this is a bureau set up by me, and letters and mirage scales are good evidence. ”
"What will happen to the tower master who hides the demon spirit?" Zhang Haotian asked.
"He will be dismissed first, and then he will be judged by the demon slayer at the Zhang family headquarters. Now we can only trouble the tower master to come with us. Zhang Lingmeng said coldly.
Surprisingly, the Zhongli Tower Master followed the Zhang Family Demon Exterminator into the detention center quite cooperatively, it stands to reason that if Zhongli Tower was mainly uncooperative, everyone present could not do anything about him, but Zhongli Tower Master did not do so. The only thing he did was to smile at Haotian and say, "I'm not wrong, right?"
As a result, Zhang Haotian could only watch the tower master's back leave.
At that time, it was late at night, and the demon slayers were busy going to Zhufang Pagoda to collect information and deal with the tower owner's case report, but Zhang Haotian was sitting quietly on the roof and watching the stars.
"It's so late, and you still haven't slept?"
Zhang Haotian heard someone shouting at him below, so he moved his eyes down slightly, it turned out to be Zhang Yan.
"Uncle Zhang, are you done?"
"Well, I'm ready to sleep, Master Haotian, you should go to sleep quickly!"
Zhang Lungang was about to go back to the inner room.
"Uncle Zhang Lun, I can't sleep, why don't you come and talk to me?" Zhang Haotian called out to Zhang Lun.
So, Zhang Lun also climbed onto the roof.
"Uncle Zhang, are you right when you say that we destroy the demon spirits?"
Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment before he said, "This is the mission of the family, and it should be correct." ”
"Then if the demons represent hope and beauty, are we going to destroy them?"
Zhang Yan did not answer Zhang Haotian.
"Uncle Zhang Lun, have you ever heard that once the demon spirit leaves his hometown, after a long time, there will be a disaster in his hometown?"
"This ......," Zhang said.
"I'm afraid that's true. Haotian smiled bitterly, "Actually, the Zhongli Tower Lord has only one motive for doing so many things, and that is to let Duyunli, who is a demon spirit, stay in Duyun forever." He's protecting Duyun. He missed it once thirty years ago, he missed it again twenty years ago, and this time he didn't want to make another mistake, I'm right, Lord Yu!"
Wait, what is Haotian talking about? Is he calling Zhang Yan Zhongli more than the young master? What the hell is going on?
At this time, Zhang Yan's face darkened.
"There are few people who can fight with Le Zheng back and forth in the whole Dao realm, how can a small demon slayer team leader have such ability? How could a small leader of the Demon Slayer detachment know all about Le Zheng's talismans? Unless it was the young master Zhongli Yu, who was obsessed with idols.
"You said that Jing Lao took care of you at the beginning, but I looked through the incident book of our Zhang family's demon slayer, and the last chapter clearly stated the date when Zhang Yan joined the branch of Duyunli. And before this date, Jing Lao in "Characters in the Clouds" had already resigned and retired, which was just your mistake. So, it's the young master that you and Zhang Yan swapped identities, and the forbidden technique was used on you, not on Duyunli, Zero Dream is wrong, is my speculation correct, more than the young master?"
Zhang Yan still didn't say anything. So, Zhang Haotian continued: "You may not admit it, my speculation may also be wrong, but I have a good verification method, that is, let Zero Dream drive the killing spell again, and use it on Miss Duyunli, because I believe that Duyunli is still a demon spirit, but the last time it was the killing spell you driven, and you did it." How about it, do you dare to let Zero Dream and Duyunri try again?"
"Don't you dare, because you're doing so much just to keep Duyunli here forever, if you let the killing curse eliminate Duyunli, wouldn't it be a waste of all your efforts?"
"In fact, there is another way to verify whether what I said is true, that is, to verify your bloodline, if your bloodline has nothing to do with the Zhang family, it means that my speculation is correct, do you dare to verify it?"
In the face of Zhang Haotian's aggressiveness, the "Zhang Theory" in front of him finally chose to close his eyes.
"If you want to never be suspected by the demon slayer in the clouds, the leader of the demon slayer in the clouds must be your own people. Zhang Haotian continued, "So that night, you asked Zhang Lun to go out in order to exchange the identities of the two of you." So where is the real Zhang Theory now?"
At this time, "Zhang Yan" opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Haotian meaningfully, and sighed. Haotian suddenly understood: "No wonder the tower master willingly resisted everything, it turned out to be because of atonement." ”
"Yes, how can someone have secret letters so easily discovered, if it were you, would you still keep these letters?" Haotian said, "If it were me, I would have burned the letters a long time ago, why do I keep them, are you afraid that others will not know?"
"Hehe, do you really think that the tower owner is stupid? It is clear that the tower owner deliberately let us discover this fact. ”
There was silence for a while.
"But since the tower lord hopes that Zero Dream's reasoning is correct, then we might as well respect his approach, I will never say anything about my conversation with the young master today, and I will never tell anyone else about this speculation. Let's go on like this, Uncle Zhang!" Zhang Haotian said with a smile.
Zhongli sat there in a daze, while Zhang Haotian had already gotten up.
"I'm going to sleep, Uncle Zhang, I'm sorry for you about the Zhongli Tower Master, you're a good captain!" Before leaving, Zhang Haotian deliberately shouted loudly, as if he wanted everyone to know.
When is the end of the long night?
Zhang Haotian, who returned to the room, was uneasy, and his thoughts drifted to the old cabin for a few hours. At that time, the tea was still warm, the lamp was not cold, and the three of them went on to say that their children were in love.
"Actually, it's a fact that Duyunli is a demon spirit, but I've always wondered if Duyunli is 'Duyun' or not?"
"Did you meet Miss Du Yunli on the banks of the Yunshui River?" asked Zhang Haotian.
"Yes, she was a baby. ”
"Xiao 'Du' and Xian Guyun are both from the banks of the Yunshui River, and they are both too, what a coincidence. ”
"I think Miss Duyunli is your old friend, or the embodiment of your old friend, because didn't you say that the fairy rue grass has started to increase in recent years? ”
"Well, that makes sense!"
"Well, I think it makes sense, too. ”
The three of them raised their glasses to tea at the same time.
"But I'm sorry that we demon slayers made you ......"
But the tower master waved his hand and said, "It's none of your business! I'm glad you have such an awareness." It's just that I'm afraid that if I go back tonight, it won't end well. ”
"Do you already know that Zero Dream ......?"
The tower master smiled and nodded.
"You're kidding, now that you know that Zero Dream is going to Zhufang Tower, you will definitely destroy all the evidence of the hidden demon spirits!
"Hahaha, maybe there's proof?"
"Hahahaha......"
The tower owner smiled like this, Zhang Haotian was very confused and anxious for the tower owner at that time. But his thoughts returned to the present, and Zhang Haotian, who was lying on the bed, now understood the intention of the tower master.
"But then again, why hasn't Xiao Yu come to me recently? Zhang Haotian's voice also sounded in his ears.
"Oh, teacher, Xiao Yu may never come!" The tower master's voice also appeared in Zhang Haotian's ears.
"Why? You staggered words seem to mean that Xiao Yu has been wiped out by you. Jing Lao's voice.
"Teacher, I don't rule out this possibility!hahahaha......" The tower master's voice sounded.
"You love to laugh with me. Jing Lao's voice.
The voice stopped abruptly, and Zhang Haotian closed his eyes, waiting for sleepiness and waiting for dawn......
