Chapter 5: Lies and Flaws
"Huh? What happened to the big tree in the yard? This is the voice of the fat man Zheng Xu.
"Yes! Huh?
Why is there a big hole in this wall? ”
"Why is the temple gate rotten?
Ah! Nothing will happen to Ah Jin, right?!
Ah Jin...... Ah Jin ......"
"Huh, huh!
Yang Jin, are you okay?
How did you get up?
Oops, what's so fragrant? ”
In the early morning of the next day, with a burst of shouting, Zhao Qing and Zheng Xu hurriedly rushed into the broken temple.
At a glance, I saw that Yang Jin was sitting by the bonfire, using the clay pot that cooks rice every day, and I don't know what was cooking, it tasted strangely fragrant, like the smell of stewed chicken.
Jiang Yuqing and the little mute Su Rou then also ran in.
In addition to them, they were followed by two young men, a man and a woman, both in their twenties.
The men are handsome, the women are beautiful, and they should all be martial arts people, the men hold the sword, and the women hold the piano.
Jiang Yuqing and the others have also changed into new clothes, and their bodies and faces have also been washed, and they are no longer the same as before.
If it weren't for Zheng Xu and Zhao Qing's shouting before, Yang Jin wouldn't have recognized them for a while.
"Yang Jin, I just didn't see it for one night, why did this temple suddenly become like this?!
Why is the roof leaking?
How did the idol on the shrine fall?
And you, why did you get up yourself? Are you cured?
Where did the chickens come from? ……”
Zheng Xu asked Yang Jin repeatedly, he didn't expect to see him overnight, the temple had changed a lot, and he was very curious about what happened last night.
Yang Jin didn't answer immediately, looked at the two strangers, and asked Jiang Yuqing, "Sister Yuqing, ...... these two?" ”
"Oh, Yang Jin, I forgot to introduce you, this is Brother He Mingxiu of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, and this is Senior Sister Tong Xueyao of Miaoyin Valley.
Brother He, Senior Sister Tong, this is what we call Yang Jin.
Yang Jin, you came over to see Brother He, Senior Sister Tong! ”
Jiang Yuqing introduced the three of them to each other.
"He Daxia! Virgin Woman! ”
Yang Jin came over and greeted the two, he didn't know how to give a salute, so he could only learn to hug his fists as in the film and television dramas.
At the same time, he was a little strange in his heart that Jiang Yuqing called Tong Xueyao a senior sister.
"He Daxia! Virgin Woman!
Two heroes, you two haven't eaten yet, have you?
This is freshly cooked chicken soup, if you don't dislike it, you two can try it? ”
Yang Jin gave the two of them a fist and saluted, beckoning to serve a bowl of chicken soup to the two.
He Mingxiu excused himself with a smile, "Ao, Brother Yang, no need!"
We've all eaten it in the morning.
I came here today to accompany Yuqing and them to come back to see you!
Eat it yourself, you don't have to entertain us! ”
"Zhao Qing, Zheng Xu, have you all eaten?
Oh, I'm not welcome, I'm really a little hungry. ”
Yang Jin turned his head and asked, and when he saw that several people were nodding, he was no longer reluctant, and he didn't use a bowl, but directly ate it in a clay pot.
Zheng Xu saw that Yang Jin ate very fragrantly, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "Ah Jin! This chicken you stewed, is this chicken fragrant?
Also, why is there only one clay pot for cooking rice, and the other? ”
Although he had eaten in the morning and was quite full, he was still a little hungry when he saw Yang Jin eating so deliciously.
I said everything just now, I was embarrassed to ask directly, so I could only ask tactfully, hoping that Yang Jin could understand.
"What a chicken! It's so fragrant!
Why don't you try it? To give! ”
Yang Jin saw his thoughts, and directly took a piece of chopsticks and gave it to him, "You said that clay pot?"
When I was killing a chicken, I accidentally broke it. ”
"Hmmm! It smells so good! It's delicious!
Ah Jin, where did you get this chicken? ”
Zheng Xu asked while eating: "Also, what's going on in this temple?"
Why did the roof collapse in half? Why did the idol fall?
And how did you get up on your own? Are you alright?
Sister Yuqing also asked the virgin to come and see your condition! ……”
Zheng Xu is still the same as before, he talks a lot, and he can't keep his mouth shut even if he eats.
Only then did Yang Jin know why Tong Xueyao and Zhao Qing came back together.
"Thank you, Sister Yuqing! I was sweating profusely last night and I'm all right now!
Thank you Virgin for your thoughts!
It's just that I'm cured of my illness now, so I don't have to trouble the Virgin anymore!
Besides, I'm too dirty and inconvenient! ”
Yang Jin first thanked Jiang Yuqing and Tong Xueyao, and then refused Tong Xueyao to treat him.
He had taken the elixir of the big man surnamed Lu last night, and now that he was full of qi and blood, he naturally didn't dare to let Tong Xueyao check it.
Jiang Yuqing saw that Yang Jin's face and spirit were good, and nodded, "It's okay!" Now that you're fine, you don't have to bother Senior Sister Tong!
By the way, you haven't said what happened last night in this temple? ”
"Don't worry! I'm really hungry, too, and I wanted to tell you after eating.
However, if you want to know so, then I'll tell you while eating.
I don't know what's going on in this temple! ”
Everyone wanted to hear Yang Jin tell what happened last night, but they didn't expect Yang Jin to give such an answer.
Seeing everyone's disbelief, Yang Jin said in a serious tone: "Really! I didn't lie to you!
After you left last night, I felt a little cold, so I drank all the wine that Zhao Qing gave me.
After drinking, as soon as the wine came up, I fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up today, the temple was like this. Come together in the morning, and to be honest, I'm confused too!
The roof above the shrine collapsed, the idol fell, the temple door was gone, the tree was broken, and a large hole appeared in the wall.
I don't even know how I got it.
That's what I woke up in the morning.
Maybe it's because I drank alcohol, I was sweating profusely, and when I woke up today, I was completely cured and I was able to get up!
As for the chicken I ate, I also picked it up in the yard in the morning.
When there was nothing to eat, I had to stew it.
No, as soon as the stew was done, you came. ”
Yang Jin told a few people a lie that had been made up a long time ago without changing his face.
His current principle is to ask three questions and not know, after all, the more he says, the more he is wrong.
If you don't know how to shirk things, then naturally you don't have to bother making up nonsense!
"Well, looking at the traces in this temple, it's obvious that someone from the rivers and lakes did it here last night!"
After listening to this, He Mingxiu carefully inspected the broken temple door and the holes in the wall, and said as if he was very experienced: "I guess that the martial arts of the person who did it are quite high.
You see, such a thick tree is broken directly by hand, and the hole in this wall is also knocked out alive, or it is knocked in from the outside.
Brother Yang, it's a good thing that you fell asleep last night and never woke up.
When they saw that you hadn't moved, they thought you had fainted or died, so they didn't make a move on you.
Otherwise......"
He didn't say the rest of the words, but everyone in the room heard it.
Otherwise, today's Yang Jin may be a corpse.
Zheng Xu and the others were all lucky after hearing this, and they were afraid of him.
said that Yang Jin is really a lucky person, and he can escape in a daze after being drunk.
"That's it! Don't talk about me.
Why didn't you come back last night?? ”
Yang Jin was afraid that they would ask again, and they would lose too much to say. So he decisively changed the topic, preemptively asked questions, and shifted the topic and attention to Zhao Qing and them.
"Oh! Here's the thing, Senior Sister Yuqing didn't come back last night because she had already entered Miaoyin Valley and joined my mentor, and it was the same junior sister who became mine.
My master left her at the inn for a night of rest for safety! ”
Without waiting for Zheng Xu and them to speak, Tong Xueyao, who had not spoken, explained to Yang Jin, her voice was crisp and tactful, very good, "At dinner this morning, Senior Sister Yuqing said that you are sick, and begged me to find you a doctor to see."
It just so happens that I am also a little good at medicine, and I want to protect my sister to come over, so I wanted to help you take a look by the way, but I didn't expect your illness to be cured!
Brother He's purpose should be the same as mine, and he should be ......."
Before she could finish speaking, suddenly a gust of wind blew in the temple, Tong Xueyao suddenly wrinkled her nose, stopped what she was going to say, and asked, "Why is there a bloody smell in this room?" ”
She had been masked by the smell of chicken soup just now, but now it happened that a gust of wind was blowing, and she suddenly smelled a bloody smell in the house, which was not only strange.
"It's all chicken blood!"
Yang Jin pointed to the place where the statue collapsed, where there was a pile of chicken feathers, and emphasized: "It's all chicken blood put when killing chickens and removing feathers." ”
Pointing to the blood stains on the wall, Tong Xueyao asked, "Since it's all chicken blood, how can you get blood on the wall?" ”
"The first time I killed a chicken, I had no experience, the technique was not skilled, and when I killed the chicken and bleed, the chicken didn't do a good job. The house was flying all over the place.
That's how to get the chicken blood everywhere! ”
Yang Jin pretended to be a little shy and looked embarrassed.
In fact, most of these blood stains on the wall were sprayed on by the Han when he was dying, and Yang Jin also sprinkled a lot of chicken blood on them in order to cover up those blood stains.
Tong Xueyao nodded when she heard this, "So that's the case!" ”
Although she still felt that there was a bit of blood on the wall, the bloody gas seemed to be a bit heavy. But he didn't ask any more questions.
It seemed that because of the bloody smell in the house, she was a little clean, and she didn't want to stay in the house for a long time, so she went out alone.
He Mingxiu of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect seemed to want to figure out what had happened in the temple last night.
Walking around the temple at will, he came to the fallen idol and tapped the fallen idol with his scabbard, feeling that something was wrong.
There he said to himself, "This idol is really strong enough, and when it falls from such a high shrine, it is only cracked, and it is not broken.
And it's strange that there are no broken pieces of the idol around them!
And why is this idol so big? It doesn't look much smaller than this shrine, how can this shrine be placed? ”
As he spoke, he crouched down and took a closer look at the statue of the god that had fallen to the ground.
Yang Jin originally looked at the scabbard that He Mingxiu had pointed on the statue and his heart jumped, but his face did not change, and he still ate meat and soup as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't hear He Mingxiu's words clearly.
Now seeing that He Mingxiu was going to squat down to check the idol, Yang Jin naturally couldn't let him really do it, otherwise he would be exposed, he suddenly asked Zhao Qing on the side loudly, "Zhao Qing!" Yesterday you said that there was a He Gongzi who was good to you, and the He Gongzi you said was He Daxia, right?! ”
Without waiting for Zhao Qing to answer, he directly asked He Mingxiu, who was about to do something to the idol: "He Daxia, yesterday Zhao Qing said that your Hanshan Sword Sect may open the mountain gate and recruit disciples, is this true?" ”
"Oh, yes, yes! Our sect is indeed recruiting some new disciples recently! ”
He Mingxiu originally planned to check if there was anything strange in the collapsed statue, but when Yang Jin asked, he couldn't help but stop, "What, Brother Yang, you also want to practice martial arts?"
Want to join us too? ”
"I really want to practice martial arts, but I don't know if I can do it?"
"Since you want to practice martial arts, let's see how the qualifications are?
This bone is not qualified, but it can't practice martial arts.
In that case, I'll help you see what your root bones are. ”
He Mingxiu seemed to be very enthusiastic, and when Yang Jin interrupted him, he no longer delved into the abnormalities of the statue, but came over to examine Yang Jin's bones.
"That'...... Then trouble He Daxia! ”
Yang Jin breathed a sigh of relief and thanked He Mingxiu.
Just now he saw He Mingxiu about to inspect the collapsed statue, pretending to be okay on the surface, but in fact, he was panicked in his heart, and his palms were sweating anxiously.
It wasn't until now that He Mingxiu came over to check his root bone qualifications that he put his hanging heart back in his stomach.
"Brother Yang, are you hot?
What's going on with this sweat? ”
"It's a little hot, maybe I was in too much of a hurry to eat just now!"
When Yang Jin heard He Mingxiu's words, he felt that in just a few breaths just now, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Just now, his brain was spinning rapidly, and he had been thinking about how to think of a way to make He Mingxiu stop moving around the idol, and he didn't notice the abnormalities in his body at all.
The reason why he was so nervous was because the body of the big man surnamed Lu was hidden in the collapsed idol at the moment.
Naturally, he couldn't watch He Mingxiu come in chaos!
Last night, Yang Jin was helpless against the corpse of the big man, but suddenly had an idea and came up with a good solution.
"Since the mountain doesn't come to me, then I'll go to the mountain. Since the body of the big man can't be moved, cut or burned, then cover him up with something else. ”
When he saw the idol on the shrine, he immediately had an idea.
That is, after dismembering the idol on the shrine, it was covered with the body of the Great Han, which was equivalent to putting on a layer of earthen armor for the Great Han.
In this way, when others see the fallen idol, they will not think that there is a corpse inside.
In order to be insured, Yang Jin also used the big man's torn clothes from the yard to wrap a lot of dirt and cover it.
Not only that, but in order to make it all seem natural, he also deliberately collapsed the roof above the idol.
Make the illusion that the roof has collapsed and the idol has been drenched by heavy rain.
"I didn't expect He Mingxiu's eyes to be so poisonous, and he could see at a glance that something was wrong with the statue.
It seems that it is better to seize the time to destroy the corpses and destroy the traces, and use the statue to cover up can only be used for a while, not for a lifetime, there are too many flaws, too unsafe! ”
Yang Jin was constantly scratching and slapping on He Mingxiu's body, and at the same time secretly decided.
In fact, Yang Jin can't be blamed for the flaws of the statue seen by He Mingxiu, it is really that he used to clean up the mess, and the time to cover up the traces was too short and too hasty!
It not only has to hide the corpse of the great man before the rain stops, but also to cover the blood stains sprayed everywhere by the great han when he was dying in the temple.
He even went to steal a chicken in the middle of the night in the rain in order to cover up the bloody smell on the big man's corpse and the blood stains in the house last night.
Thanks to the original memory of this body, I have done a lot of stealing chickens and touching dogs on weekdays, and I know who has chickens clearly, so I took advantage of the heavy rain to steal one.
I didn't think about it, the statue looked like it had been drenched by heavy rain, but it was not broken, and because there was a nearly two-meter corpse hidden in it, it looked much bigger.
Only then did He Mingxiu, who was poisoned by his eyes, see a flaw.
After He Mingxiu grabbed and patted Yang Jin's body, he said to Yang Jin with a pleasant face: "Hmm! Your martial arts qualifications are not bad, above average.
I can try it at our school, and I hope to become the same brother as me. ”
"Zheng Xu, Zhao Qing, what about you? The qualifications are also good, right? ”
Yang Jin seemed to be very happy that his qualifications were good, and said to Zhao Qing and them: "Since my qualifications are okay, then let's go to the Cold Mountain Sword Sect together to try it!"
Sister Yuqing also entered the Miaoyin Valley, and if the remaining four of us can also worship the Hanshan Sword Sect, then we will learn martial arts together in the future.
We can still be together as we are now, fighting swords and rivers and lakes together, and doing chivalrous and righteous deeds! How nice! ”
At this time, Zheng Xu, Zhao Qing, and Jiang Yuqing had strange looks on their faces, a little embarrassed and a little embarrassed, and they wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end, the three of them didn't speak.
"What's wrong with you? Am I not right? Or is there something wrong with this, and your root bone qualifications are not good? ”
Yang Jin was a little strange, Tong Xueyao came to treat herself, He Mingxiu also came with her today, obviously Zhao Qing and Zheng Xu and they also joined the Hanshan Sword Sect.
But looking at their embarrassed expressions now, is there anything inside?
Tong Xueyao heard the conversation in the house outside, knew the difficulties of Zheng Xu and the others, and said: "Some things, I can't say anything clearly for a while, and this is not the place to talk, let's talk about it at the inn where we live if there is anything." ”
After speaking, he said to Yang Jin with some disgust: "Besides, Yang Jin, you should really change your clothes."
Look how dirty it is, what it's all like! Now that you're full, let's go to the inn and wash up and change your clothes. ”
Yang Jin thought she seemed to be a little cleanliness when she looked at her before, but she didn't expect it to be so!
Yang Jin looked at the clothes on his body, he really needed to change them, they were dirty, and now there were large patches of blood stains on them. These blood are not only those of the big man surnamed Lu, but also the chicken blood that he deliberately got last night in order to cover up the blood that the big man surnamed Lu splashed on his clothes when he was dying.
Yang Jin and they are all beggars, and they have nothing to clean up. Jiang Yuqing and the others came back, mainly to see Yang Jin, and now Yang Jin is well.
Of course, they had to return to the inn where He Mingxiu and they lived.
In order to prevent He Mingxiu from continuing to find the body of the big man surnamed Lu in the temple, Yang Jin certainly had no objection. A group of seven people soon came to the inn where Tong Xueyao and her family lived, and the inn was called "Hongsheng Inn".
Tong Xueyao and He Mingxiu seemed to have a lot of people and wanted to be clean, so they didn't live in the guest room in front of the inn, but each rented two courtyards at the back of the inn.
He Mingxiu led Yang Jin to wash up in the room in the courtyard he rented.
This time, Yang Jin almost scrubbed the oil stains accumulated on his body for many years, until the rubbed skin was red and about to peel off.
The locks of hair on the head were also carefully scrubbed with soap.
It took three large basins of water to wash himself clean.
Changing into the new clothes that He Mingxiu had prepared earlier, Yang Jin only felt refreshed and comfortable at this time.
Zheng Xu saw that Yang Jin had finished washing and led him to the side room of the small courtyard.
Zhao Qing, He Mingxiu, Jiang Yuqing, and Su Rou were all in the room, but Tong Xueyao was missing.
Yang Jin thanked He Ming first, and then found a chair and sat down.
When He Mingxiu saw everyone seated, he got straight to the point and said, "Brother Yang, the reason why I also took you over and brought you together is because you have to make your own choice.
You should have also heard Zhao Qing say yesterday, there has been a major event in Pingyang City recently, that is, the martial arts treasure "Golden Secret" suddenly appeared here, in fact, this is also the reason why we came to Pingyang City.
Yesterday, because I had a relationship with Zhao Qing's little brother, I saw that he was born in a lonely background, but he was clever and clever, and his root qualifications were not bad, and it coincided with the recent opening of the mountain gate and recruiting disciples.
So I mentioned it to him more.
Unexpectedly, last night the Zhao brothers and the four of them suddenly came to visit together, wanting to worship our sect together. Originally, this sect wanted to recruit a wide range of disciples, so it was naturally very welcoming to the young talents who came to learn the arts.
Coincidentally, when Zhao Qing and the others came, it happened that two other famous seniors in the rivers and lakes were also guests here.
After these two seniors saw them, they also thought about accepting apprentices.
So after some tests by the master of this sect and these two seniors, they were very satisfied with the character of three of their little friends.
This was supposed to be a happy thing, but it was difficult to do both, and there was one thing that made the three of them a little embarrassed now, but ...... Just ......"
He Mingxiu seemed to be a little embarrassed in the end, but he didn't follow up for a long time, as if he didn't know what to say next.
Yang Jin listened to it for a while, and wondered in his heart, "There are four people here, and they are satisfied with three of them, that is, they are not satisfied with one of them."
It's just that who is not satisfied? ”
Thinking of this, he glanced at Su Rou and Zheng Xu, "Jiang Yuqing has entered Miaoyin Valley, this is already a certainty.
And He Mingxiu has a good impression of Zhao Qing, so he has no problem worshipping the Cold Mountain Sword Sect.
Since these two people are fine, among the remaining Su Rou and Zheng Xu, Su Rou is disabled and Zheng Xu is stupid.
I just don't know which of these two has a problem? ”
Su Rou smiled sweetly when she saw Yang Jin looking at her, looking innocent and carefree, and she was holding an apple to nibble at this time.
Looking at Zheng Xu again, his face was bitter, as if he was worried and happy, his expression was uncertain, and when he saw Yang Jin looking at him, his eyes were a little evasive, and he lowered his head, not daring to look directly.
"It seems that the problem should be Su Rou, not Zheng Xu!"
When Yang Jin saw Zheng Xu's expression, he knew that his guess was right, and it was Su Rou who had the problem.
It's just that he still can't figure out some questions, so he asked He Mingxiu, "He Daxia, with all due respect, is there no predecessor who has taken a fancy to Su Rou?" ”
He Mingxiu nodded and said, "Yes." Su Xiaomei really couldn't worship in this sect, and the other two seniors couldn't accept her as a disciple. ”
"Because she's disabled on the right side and can't hear?"
He Mingxiu nodded.
"Even if you can't read and hyphenate, you can't be accommodating, can't you?
He Mingxiu still nodded and did not answer.
"Can't you take her back to the mountain with us? Need someone to stay and take care of her? ”
Yang Jin thought of the embarrassed look on Zheng Xu's faces, and there was some speculation in his heart.
"Brother Yang is really smart, and he knows the subtleties!"
He Mingxiu didn't expect Yang Jin to be so smart, and he guessed the difficulty in just a few words, "That's true!"
For some reasons, Su Xiaomei not only can't learn martial arts, but she really can't be taken to the sect by us to live together. ”
Yang Jin nodded, but he still had some questions, and asked, "Why can't Su Rou be taken to the sect life with her?"
Not everyone in your sect can cultivate, right?
Can't miscellaneous servants live there? ”
Before He Mingxiu could answer, the door creaked open, and several people came in from outside.
