Chapter 64: A Basket of Strange Things

"Dead?"

Lu Liangsheng withdrew the gaze of the toad Daoist and turned to the opposite side, Zuo Zhengyang, who was sitting there, did not look like he was making fun of him.

For a moment, the scholar's smile narrowed and he frowned.

"Left catcher, you killed?"

Even Sun Yingxian under the eaves looked over and stared closely at Zuo Zhengyang next to the easel.

The latter shook his head and said in a low voice: "It's not me...... This arrest and law handles the case, even if it is lynched, it will not kill people indiscriminately. ”

In the treetops, scattered pine leaves drifted down, and with the cool breeze quieted between the two who looked at each other, when they fell to the ground, Lu Liangsheng laughed, sat opposite Zuo Zhengyang, and picked up the brush again.

"You won't suspect that I killed me, right?"

"You have a ..... forget it, don't mention the old things. ”

Zuo Zhengyang shook his hand and hurriedly pressed his knees, he was tall, and he sat on the low stool and twisted a little incoordinatedly, before he stabilized his figure, and continued:

"Actually, it's not that I suspect you, but it's a bit strange that Yangming Dao people died. ”

In front of the easel, Lu Liangsheng's spirit seeped to the top, feeling the cultivation brought by the painting, his intently focused wrist shook rapidly, the blue ink outlined, and the scales on the long body were painted with fine dots, and he was also responding softly.

"How did that Taoist die?"

After all, the two of them also fought last night, if they hadn't used their strengths in advance to scare each other with their advantages in 'people', if they really wanted to fight, Lu Liangsheng felt that he should not be the opponent of this kind of old Jianghu, at least for now.

Zuo Zhengyang thought back to the picture at that time, Rao was a person like him who was used to seeing life and death, and he was a little frightened.

"On the torture rack, there was no outsider touching it at that time, and the man screamed in pain for a moment, and his whole body's flesh, muscles and bones burst and died. ”

On the picture scroll, Lu Liangsheng stopped the tip of his pen and looked at the formed snake body, frowning.

No outsiders touch, the whole body bursts?

...... It's a bit similar to when I killed Chen Yaoke.

The hand holding the pen hung down, and Lu Liangsheng turned his face sideways and looked at Zuo Zhengyang

"And there's anything else weird about him?"

Sun Yingxian, who was basking in the sun under the eaves, couldn't help but stand up when he heard this, and laughed twice.

"There aren't many of these kinds of poisonous spells, but there are also a lot of them, and it's best to think about it for the left head. ”

The tall figure pressed against his knees and fell silent.

On the low table on the other side, the coiled toad Dao man, the toad glanced around, and then saw the soup bowl in front of him, hesitated for a moment, but slowly stood up, climbed up and looked inside.

Only a little bit of soup residue remains.

"What a waste ......"

The toad smacked his lips and skimmed his head slightly.

"No, what kind of identity does the old man have, how can he ......"

Boom!

Suddenly a sound came, and the startled toad frog slid on its webs, and slammed its mouth on the residue at the bottom of the bowl, and the toad's eyes stared at the bottom of the bowl, and his lips squeezed out with difficulty.

How can this be...... Shame on the old man......"

The remnants of the soup spilled over his lips..... and then, he couldn't help but lick it.

Over there.

Zuo Zhengyang slapped his thigh, remembering something, as for the toad on the opposite side of the field of vision, the toad on the low table with most of his head buried in the bowl didn't pay attention at all, and said.

After thinking about it, I remembered that everything on the man's body had been scraped away, and the only strange thing was a strange pattern on his chest. ”

"What kind of pattern?" At the mention of words such as pictures, Lu Liangsheng became interested.

Zuo Zhengyang pondered for a moment, as if organizing words, but still shook his head.

"I don't know, but I remember what it was like, and I borrowed the pen for my use. ”

As he spoke, he took the brush with the strange barrel from the scholar's hand, drew it on a piece of white paper, and Lu Liangsheng stood to the side and watched him sketch the pattern little by little.

"Five lanterns?"

"It's five fireballs!!" Zuo Zhengyang put down his pen and stared at what he had drawn: "The pattern on that person's body is bright, the color of the fireball is red, and it is in a circle, Zuo guesses that it should be the sect symbol of the cultivator, I don't know if I am right?"

Lu Liangsheng probably understood why this chief catcher came here on purpose.

He shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to help, this kind of pattern, it's the first time I've seen it, and I've been staying in Fushui County before." ”

The two looked at the eaves, and Sun Yingxian snorted and turned his head.

"Don't look, I don't know the way. ”

The clue is broken.

Zuo Zhengyang looked at the two of them, and probably knew that Lu Liangsheng had never been out of Fushui County before, so he shouldn't have known about it.

Well, it's better to be a headless case.

"That's right. When the head catcher was about to say goodbye, he remembered that there was a master behind the scholar in front of him, and hurriedly asked: "..... Liangsheng, your master, where is he? Will he know this pattern?"

The atmosphere in the courtyard became delicate, and the hearts of the Taoists under the eaves were raised, and Lu Liangsheng over there reacted quickly, and while sending this big man out, he said:

"My master is far away in Qixia Mountain, and he doesn't care about the world when he practices all year round, so Zuo Zhutou won't suspect his master again, right?"

"Naturally, this ..... not. ”

Lu Liangsheng walked across the easel very casually, flicked his sleeves, and carried it behind him, looking at the pine branches stretching out of the courtyard wall, and the light spots cast by the gaps, the light and dust were flying.

"Actually, it's okay for Zuo to catch the head, but although my master is erudite and knowledgeable, he is cold and arrogant, like a lonely rock on the top of a sea of clouds, overlooking the ups and .......downs of the mountains."

In the slow and smooth words

The soup bowl with a few short legs, the toad with its legs on the outside, looked up, looked around, continued to bury it, and hurried to lick it.

The figure walking forward, the words are still continuing.

...... and lived in a simple place, even if he went to the mountains, he might not meet each other, and maybe he would be angry and driven down the mountain. ”

Zuo Zhengyang listened to this crepe rhetoric, only felt his scalp tingle, and only sighed: "A master outside the world deserves such a temperament." ”

After speaking, he said goodbye to the scholar and the Taoist under the eaves.

"Just send it here, by the way, there is one more thing, there have been several murders outside the city recently, the deceased are all scholars who came to catch the exam, and it is rumored in the countryside that it was done by the fox spirit, if you want to go out of the city, be careful, and say goodbye!"

Lu Liangsheng looked at the back of the person who turned to leave, and wondered in his heart.

"Zhang Dongming's son was fascinated by the fox demon, could it have something to do with this incident? No wonder he came out of Zhou's mansion that day and night, and saw him leading a team to run through the streets, it turned out that he was going to investigate the case outside the city. ”

I think of the way to Hegu County, and I met the four scholars who were chased by the fox demon in the mountain temple.

It's just a rush to take the exam, and all strange things have happened.

However, this trip has gained a lot of knowledge.

Lu Liangsheng smiled, turned around and returned to the courtyard, only then did he notice the toad Taoist lying on the side of the soup bowl.

"Master, you are ....."

At the bottom of the bowl, the long tongue that flicked wildly was closed, and the toad slowly straightened up and lifted its flippers.

"Good life, let's be a person to remember the bittersweet and sweet, not forget the roots, think that before the teacher was a teacher, his family was poor, and it was good to have a bite to eat, and he couldn't waste food. ”

Jumping off the low table, licking his mouth, stepping on the floor tiles and walking under the eaves, his words were solemn.

"Remember, cultivators first cultivate people!"

The corners of Lu Liangsheng's mouth twitched, and he bowed down.

"Yes...... Good students are taught. ”

Just when he straightened up, he suddenly felt a hot lower abdomen, and his face was instantly covered with beads of sweat, Lu Liangsheng only felt that his gaze was spinning, and he staggered out two steps, holding the easel with one hand.

"What's going on......"

The Taoist under the eaves was about to shout: "Old toad." Seeing the scene over there, the words suddenly changed and rushed out.

"What's wrong with you?!"

The picture scroll in the house, Hong Lian also poked out to get it, and looked through the window lattice.

"Childe ....."

Outside, the easel supported by Lu Liangsheng crackled and exploded in the scholar's hand in an instant, and sawdust and the wreckage of the scroll flew away.

The supporting figure suddenly fell to the ground.
