Chapter 12: First meeting Zhang Zhiyi
When I got up early in the morning, I could eat a bowl of Fang Yuan's boiled instant noodles with intestines and eggs, and Xiao Man pursed his lips with satisfaction.
"You eat this every day, won't you get tired?"
"Of course not! Fang Yuan's noodles are the best!"
Fang Yuan was a little embarrassed by what she said, but with his nearly fifteen years of experience in eating instant noodles, his control over the heat, soup amount and time was indeed very unattainable.
"At half past four this morning, our city's sanitation workers found a female corpse in Riverside Park. Judging from the clothing, the deceased was a student of the city's No. 4 Middle School. The deceased had no external injuries but had serious blood loss in his body, and the exact cause of death is still under investigation. ”
Such a piece of news suddenly appeared on the TV, which attracted the attention of Fang Yuan and Xiaoman.
"How does this work without losing too much blood without trauma?" Fang Yuan said puzzled.
"Of course the average person can't do it. "But if it's not a human, it's hard to say." ”
"Not human?"
"Demons. Xiao Man's hand unconsciously grasped Shuang Wu, "Only a demon would have such cruel methods. ”
"Did you think this was done by the fox demon who fought with you before?"
"It's also possible. Xiao Man said: "That guy was obviously injured when we fought that day, and it is not impossible that he needs human blood to refine qi." It's just that as far as I know, the fox demon has a high cultivation talent among the demons, and it seems that he rarely uses such cruel methods to cultivate, which is a bit unreasonable. ”
Fang Yuan thought that the person who died had nothing to do with him anyway, and said, "Forget it, don't think about it, love whoever you want!" Let's hurry up and find the person you are looking for, and it is true to fulfill your master's last wish." ”
can be Xiaoman's character, how can she watch the demons sit idly by for chaos?
"No, we can't ignore it, isn't the meaning of cultivation just to protect the common people in the world? Now that we know that there are demons at work, how can we stand idly by? If this continues, there will definitely be people who will suffer!"
In Xiaoman's worldview, it seems that everything is extremely important, except for herself. She loved this world so much, but in Fang Yuan's opinion, this world was not worthy of her affection.
"Xiaoman, this world may not be worth saving. One day you will find that it is full of hypocrisy, lies, oppression, and a distorted world that only looks at money and only interests and power over justice. It really ...... It's not worth everything we have to love it. The demons are in the world, no one will remember you if you go to kill the demons, they will spit on you for your lack of ability if you fail, and if you succeed, they will think that the matter is not serious, and they will even see you as a monster. But if you have any mistakes, your master will be sad, and I will be sad, but this world you love so much, it won't. ”
Maybe Fang Yuan's thoughts were a little selfish, but what he said was the most real truth. Xiao Man frowned, and his heart seemed to be in a painful struggle.
Fang Yuan's words were all his true thoughts, but when he said them, he regretted it a little. He was worried that Xiao Man would see him clearly because of these words, see clearly the selfishness in his heart, and then hate him and even leave him. But just as Fang Yuan was thinking about how to remedy it, Xiao Man's little hand like ice and jade suddenly gently stroked his face.
"But there is still you in this world! Even though it is all bad, it has allowed me to meet Master and meet you, and it is worthy of my love and protection of it at all costs. ”
Fang Yuan's whole body was stuck there, and the slightest softness on his cheeks almost made his thoughts freeze. It took him a while to come to his senses, and he said a little sneeringly, "I...... I'll go get ready, and we'll go right out. ”
Fang Yuan and Xiao Man went to the scene and walked around the girl's school, although there was a blockade at the scene and they couldn't go in to check, but after a round of questioning, Fang Yuan already had a general idea in his heart.
"The park is not the starting point of the event, I guess the starting point is near the school. ”
Xiao Man asked puzzledly, "How do you know?"
Fang Yuan didn't answer Xiao Man, but replied, "Are there any spells or witchcraft that can breathe people's hearts, and they can also delay the onset of time or even control the onset of time?"
"This description doesn't sound like a serious spell!"
Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Of course, can a serious person do this?" I think my guess should be right, we have to find someone!"
"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? Did you guess the identity of the demon?"
"We've got to find someone who has been injured first, and it should be around here. ”
Fang Yuan took Xiaoman to search all the surrounding hotels and guesthouses with Riverside Park as the center, and finally, found a person who looked very weak who checked in after twelve o'clock in a national chain of express hotels.
Originally, the hotel's customer service would not disclose the guest's information, but fortunately, Fang Yuan had already prepared, he lied to the customer service that he and Xiaoman were friends of that person, that person had a very serious illness and wanted to give up treatment, they wanted to find him to go back to continue treatment, as long as they persisted, there would be hope. Sure enough, the customer service lady was moved and told them the person's room number.
Fang Yuan rang the doorbell, and a girl's voice came from inside, which still sounded a little weak.
"Who?"
Fang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "We want to know how the girl we found this morning died. ”
Xiao Man never expected Fang Yuan to be so direct, and his eyes stiffened when he looked at him. She was ready to break in, but with a "click", the door opened.
As soon as Fang Yuan entered the door, he only felt a chill on his neck, and a sharp short knife was pressed against his throat. The owner of the short knife was a girl in a red sweatshirt and black slim jeans, the girl looked about the same age as Fang Yuan, and her appearance was relatively pure, with a long wavy ponytail. The girl's whole body looked very weak, and her lips were a little pale.
She motioned for Xiao Man to come in and close the door, and Xiao Man had to do so carefully.
After the door was closed, Fang Yuan spoke: "Actually, you don't have to be like this, if we are really bad people, you will die the moment you just enter the door." Put the knife down, and we can talk calmly. ”
The girl shouted, "Less nonsense!"
Fang Yuan smiled helplessly and said, "Why don't you listen to persuasion?"
After speaking, Fang Yuan instantly broke away from the girl's control, snatched the short knife in her hand and threw it on the dresser on the side.
"You are also a cultivator?" A hint of incredulity flashed in the girl's eyes, but her expression was still very stubborn, "What do you want?"
Fang Yuan said: "It's all said, we are not bad people. My name is Fang Yuan, and her name is Xiaoman. The reason why we came to you is to find out about the incident mentioned in the news this morning, the Demon Removal Guardian, you know. ”
The girl glanced at the short knife that Fang Yuan had removed in an instant, there was still one on her waist, but she knew that if this person really wanted to kill herself, she would already be dead just now. So he asked, "What do you want to know?"
Fang Yuan said: "I want to know who is fighting with you, or what it is." ”
The girl said, "I didn't see it too clearly, but it felt like a person who didn't look like a monster." I found him at the door of the Pearl Community, and the girl had been controlled by spells at the time. I kept chasing him, and when I got to Riverside Park, he suddenly fought back like a dog jumping off a wall, and I could feel that he seemed to be weak, and if it weren't for that, I probably wouldn't have come back. ”
Fang Yuan smiled and said to Xiao Man: "How about it? I just said that the park is not the starting point of the incident, right? The reason why the other party came here to commit murder, and knew that this kind of corpse was destined to cause an uproar once it was discovered, but still didn't dispose of it, there was only one possibility, that is, it was too late." So someone must be stirring things up, and it's the kind of mess that is about to push them into a corner. And the girl died in the end, which means that the troublemakers can't save people, and the biggest possibility is that they have been seriously injured. ”
"So...... You're looking for someone who looks weak, right?" Xiao Man seemed to understand what Fang Yuan meant.
Fang Yuan nodded and said, "But there is also an element of luck, I didn't expect it to be a girl, fortunately, 'he' and 'she' can't hear any difference." ”
Xiao Man looked at the girl with a concerned face and said, "Little sister, how are you now, are your injuries better?"
The girl was obviously stunned, as if she didn't expect anyone to care about her injury, and then smiled indifferently: "It's not fatal." ”
Xiao Man took out a small pill from the small gourd pendant hanging around his neck and handed it to the girl.
"Now, you should be more comfortable eating this. ”
"What is this?" the girl seemed to be very wary.
Xiaoman said: "Don't worry, I have no reason to harm you." This is a pill for good qi, I feel that your aura is very messy, this should help you somewhat. ”
The girl still seemed to be a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, she threw it into her mouth. After a while, the aura in her body was really smooth and smooth, and the whole person didn't feel so uncomfortable.
The girl looked at Xiao Man and exclaimed, "The Tranquility Wood Incense Pill of the Sword Immortal Sect! You are actually a descendant of the Sword Immortal Sect?"
Xiao Man grinned, with a hint of smugness on his face, and then asked, "You guessed it, but we don't know what your name is?"
The girl seemed to hesitate for a moment, then whispered, "My name is Zhang Zhiyi." ”
Xiao Man seemed to think of something when he heard this name, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Zhang, isn't it the Zhang family at the foot of Zangyun Mountain?"
Zhang Zhiyi nodded lightly.
Fang Yuan felt that this place should not be safe at the moment, so he said: "The fact that he can suddenly disappear without a trace in the city is most likely because someone is helping him. Before we find out the details of each other, I think it's better for us to get out of here. ”
The three of them didn't have much else to go, and finally thought about it, let's go to Fang Yuan's house for the time being! Fortunately, Fang Yuan's bedroom was big enough to accommodate two girls living together. Later, it was also from the conversation between Xiaoman and Zhang Zhiyi that Fang Yuan knew that Zhang Zhiyi's family was a well-known Xiuzhen family, and it seemed that Fang Yuan, the thigh of this young lady, also needed to be hugged, which must have benefited him to completely enter the Xiuzhen world.
Zhang Zhiyi's injuries have gradually improved, and the three of them have not been idle in the past few days, and have been tracking down the whereabouts of the murderer in the park. But this person really seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and there was no trace of him.
On the afternoon of this day, the three of them went downstairs to Fang Yuan's house and found that a big Mercedes-Benz was parked. This is a rare thing, an old community like theirs usually can't see this kind of thing full of RMB fragrance, and it is estimated that a distant local tyrant relative of one family came to visit the door.
As soon as Fang Yuan opened the door, a thick smell of smoke wafted over. His house is an old-fashioned building, and the entrance is an outhouse, and the living room is a separate large bedroom. Fang Yuan led Xiaoman and Zhang Zhiyi to the bedroom to rest first, and when he entered the living room, he saw that it was a room full of people.
Seeing Fang Yuan coming back, Dad beckoned to him and said, "Xiao Yuan, come here, your Sister Zhenzhen's boyfriend is here." ”
