Chapter 37: Old Grudges
Zhao Qiman found a long rope, tied it to the carriage, hung it from the hole, and pulled the two out of the crypt. Zhang Yingzhuo carried Lin Yi into the carriage and asked Zhao Qiman to chat with him and don't let him fall asleep. And he drove himself, hurried up, and rushed back to Yongzhou City.
Bumpy all the way, Lin Yi endured the discomfort and closed his eyes to rest. Zhao Qiman took out a handkerchief, gently wiped the blood on his face, and reproached: "Just find a chance to escape, why do you have to be strong?"
Lin Yi's lips pursed: "If you don't get rid of the hungry ghost, when it goes out, it will harm more people, so you can only fight with it to the end." ”
"There are so many ghosts in the world, how many can you manage, as for taking your little life?" Zhao Qiman said angrily.
"Something...... Someone has to do it. Lin Yi opened his eyes and looked sideways out the window, his eyes scattered. "Miss Zhao, thank you for your concern. ”
Zhao Qiman sighed, raised his forehead and said: "Why be polite, no matter how you say it, you saved your life, this worry is still right, you can rest well." But Zhang Fatzi explained, don't let you fall asleep, if you feel sleepy, you can talk to me. ”
Lin Yi blinked his eyes to show his gratitude, and asked slowly, "Miss Zhao, why did you fall into the poison of the Yin and Netherworld, is it the Immortal Sect?"
"Who else but them?" Zhao Qiman gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "That night, a middle-aged woman suddenly broke into the room, grabbed me, fed the Yin Ming Pill, and the sound alarmed the guards. Daddy came in a hurry with his subordinates, and he didn't know what evil method the demon woman had, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen people were in different places. Then, she claimed to be the messenger of the Immortal Sect and asked the Qinggang to do things for her, but we were so frightened that we dared to refuse, so we had to obey. ”
"A wave of your hand?" Lin Yi said curiously, "Doesn't anyone see what weapon she used?"
Zhao Qiman shook his head, his face showing fear, "It was with bare hands, and I found a post-mortem to do an autopsy, and the examination said that the deceased's wounds were neat, as if they had been cut off by a sharp blade, and it was absolutely caused by extraordinary strength." ”
Lin Yida frowned, he had never heard of this kind of kung fu, and asked in a different way: "Then what does she want you to do?"
"The witch said that Luoshan of the Lingguan Mansion had killed her seven children and wanted to seek revenge from him. not only had to torture him, but also had to execute his daughter Ling Chi in front of Luo Shan. But she is a little afraid of Luoshan, and wants to borrow our power to design a yin against him, and even coerce the Qing Gang to raise hungry ghosts for her. ”
Lin Yi couldn't help but shiver, and shouted outside: "Senior Brother Zhang, can you hurry up, Senior Sister Luo may be in danger!" Accidentally pulling the injury and coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood, Zhao Qiman hurriedly held him down and told him not to move.
Zhao Qiman hesitated and said, "Wei Wenbin of your mansion was also trained into a corpse puppet by her. ”
"What is a corpse puppet?" Lin Yi looked at him in surprise.
"Didn't you see it today, even if he was mortally wounded, he would not fall, and his gestures were infinitely powerful. As for the specific principle...... I don't understand either. ”
Lin Yi was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Then how did Shen Wuxin have anything to do with the Immortal Sect?"
"Did you guess?" Zhao Qiman was shocked when he heard this, swallowed his saliva, and slowly spoke: "Stinky boy, I was curious just now, how did you see through my mind?"
"It's a long story. Lin Yi smiled slightly and said, "I grew up in Huajiang - do you know what Huajiang means?"
Zhao Qiman nodded and admitted: "Qinglou hook fence, gambling cabinet painting boat, so, you are still a turtle father?" After speaking, he covered his mouth and stole fun.
"No, but it's pretty much the same. When I was eight years old, I followed my mother to learn music and make a living, and every day I walked around the Qinglou painting boat, pouring wine and laughing, flattering guests, and always saying the wrong thing at first, and inevitably receiving a few beatings and scoldings. In order to curry favor with the guests, I became cautious with a few beatings and two more rewards, always paying attention to the expressions and movements of the guests, constantly trying to figure out their thoughts. Over time, I have grown a lot of eyesight, and I have also summed up a set of rules, whether the other party lies or not, can often be seen through at a glance. ”
"Is there a pattern to this?"
"There are probably hundreds of expressions and movements, representing a variety of emotions. ”
"So much!" Zhao Qiman was dumbfounded, "You can write it down." ”
"If you can't remember, you'll be beaten. Lin Yi smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Actually, there are dozens of common ones...... For example, the other party snickers, smugs, and raises eyebrows......"
"It means that you guessed the other party's mind wrong!" Zhao Qiman interrupted, his eyes flickering.
"Nope. Lin Yi shook his head and patiently explained: "It depends on the situation, if you are complimenting the other party for having a solid family background and holding power, he is often right when he shows these expressions." But if he commits a crime, hides something, you say that the crime is light, you point to the wrong place, he will also show these expressions. ”
"What else?" Zhao Qiman couldn't help but be curious, and hurriedly asked.
Lin Yi was also interested at this time, regardless of the injury, and talked eloquently: "The corners of the eyebrows are down means sadness, the chin is up to represent embarrassment, and the corners of the mouth are drooping when the corners of the mouth are up, which is self-blame." Shoulder-to-shoulder support indicates that the person is at ease and confident, while one shoulder is weak-hearted and dishonest. When you talk, your voice is raised and your eyes are looking directly at you, this is to observe your reaction and try to convince you. With his eyes wide open and his mouth spitting, the other party is nervous. Scratching his ears and cheeks, nodding slightly before shaking his head, his expression can't keep up with the reaction, which means that he is duplicitous and lying......"
Lin Yi's mouth was like a river, and the more Zhao Qiman listened, the more confused he became, feeling that he was in the clouds, and gradually lost his patience, so he could only laugh embarrassedly.
Lin Yi stopped his mouth in time, took a breath, his body was a little tired, and slowly stretched out his hand to point at her: "Your eyes are now looking to the right, you are thinking, the corners of your right mouth do not move when you laugh, and the left side is grinning, which means that you are smirking." It seems that Miss Zhao has been impatient and is thinking about how to divert the topic. ”
"Okay. Zhao Qiman stretched out his hand, his shoulders were raised at the same time, and he rolled his eyes and swept upward, "You said it again." ”
"Do you feel helpless with this expression, so you simply give up resistance and generously admit it?"
"Anyway, I can't hide it from you, so it's better to be honest. ”
"It's not that smart, only six or seven points of accuracy, like Senior Brother Zhang, I can't see it. ”
"Not much worse. Zhao Qiman waved his hand indifferently, bent over and leaned over, and changed the topic: "I haven't answered you just now, why did Shen Wuxin want to help the Elder Life Sect do evil." ”
Lin Yi immediately said seriously, "Please Miss Zhao to elaborate." ”
"Actually-" Zhao Qiman dragged out his voice, and then laughed mysteriously, "I don't understand, you can guess so well, why don't you question him in person?"
Lin Yi was puzzled and muttered, "If Shen Wuxin is doing things for the Immortal Sect, then why did Senior Sister Luo help last time when Senior Sister Luo was in distress?" Even when I was kidnapped by you, he volunteered to let Commander Zuo open ......the city gate."
Lin Yi lay on the sitting board, closed his eyes and meditated, and said to himself: "Shen Wuxin's actions are too weird, I want to win Master Luo's trust, but what's the use...... Could it be that he is interested in the Lingguan Mansion...... If this is the case, wouldn't it be faster to directly expose the Immortal Sect to the master...... Or does he also want to get some benefits from the Immortal Sect?"
Zhao Qiman broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, although he didn't know much about Shen Wuxin, but Lin Yi guessed what he knew in a few words, which was really terrifying.
The two of them had their own thoughts, and they were speechless one after another.
......
Half a day ago, after Lin Yi and Zhang Yingzhuo went out to track down the Green Gang, the rest of the disciples still went to the school to practice. After the morning exercise, Luo Shan called out Shen Wuxin and announced in public: "The teacher is going out today, and the affairs in the house will be taken care of by Wuxin for the time being." ”
Without waiting for the disciples to respond, he turned his head to look at Shen Wuxin, and said earnestly: "As a senior brother, you not only have to arrange classes for them, but also set an example, don't slack off, do you hear?"
Shen Wuxin didn't have time to wipe his sweat, and said loudly: "Follow the master's teachings, the apprentice must take care of the junior brothers and sisters, and dare not live up to your entrustment." ”
Luo Shan bowed slightly, looked at the disciples, showed reluctance, hesitated for a long time, and then sighed, turned to leave, and said, "Wuxin, you come with me." ”
Shen Wuxin hurriedly followed and followed the master to the East Chamber.
Luoshan asked halfway through: "Wuxin, is the Shen family's shop taken care of by you?"
Shen Wuxin said: "Don't hide it from Master, half a year ago, both parents went south to do business. During this time, the livelihood in Yongzhou City was all under my care. ”
"The afterlife is terrifying. Luo Shan said happily, "At a young age, I can take on this heavy responsibility, and I can rest assured as a teacher." ”
Shen Wuxin hesitated and said, "Master, you ...... What does that mean?"
Luo Shan didn't answer, and took him into the master bedroom, Shen Wuxin saw the spirit card of the master on the table at a glance, knelt down and saluted: "Apprentice Shen Wuxin, please say hello to the master." ”
"Get up. Luo Shan patted Shen Wuxin on the shoulder, helped him up, took his hand, and walked to the table of the Eight Immortals. Shen Wuxin saw an envelope spread out on the table, and pretended to be surprised: "Master, what is this?"
In fact, he sent someone to deliver this letter, but he couldn't admit it.
"A little personal vendetta. Luo Shan opened the envelope, took out a few transparent silk threads, handed them to Shen Wuxin, and said, "You can look at it." ”
Shen Wuxin wrapped the slender silk thread around his fingers as he said, and pulled it to both sides, the silk thread was stretched straight and did not break.
"Make the true anger. Luo Shan reminded.
Shen Wuxin secretly carried his true qi, pulled it to both sides with all his strength, and the silk thread stretched out deep marks on his fingers, oozing blood beads, which were still unbroken, and he couldn't help but be shocked: "This thing is transparent and colorless, as thin as a hair, but it is extremely flexible. With this bit of strength, ordinary swords can be twisted into twists, but they can't help it, which is really rare. ”
"It's spider silk. Luo Shan said heavily.
"Spider silk?" Shen Wuxin was quite puzzled, "How can there be such a strong spider silk?"
"The world is full of wonders. Luo Shan sighed with emotion, looked at the distance outside the door, and slowly spoke: "As a teacher, he worshiped the Heavenly Book Mansion and studied the Tao hard. Soon, she gave birth to Cai Wei for me, and the family of three was happy until Tianzun sent us down the mountain to practice. ”
"Tianzun has an order, and I have to obey. He paused and continued: "The two of us had to leave Cai Wei in the Heavenly Book Mansion and entrust them to the same door to take care of them. On that day, when I arrived in the territory of Beiyou, I heard the local villagers say that there are monsters in the mountains, and as spiritual officials, we must be duty-bound. At that moment, I bid farewell to the villagers, went deep into the mountains, and cut snakes and tigers all the way. Finally, in front of a cave, I found several huge spider silk cocoons, and I cut them open with a Ming Hung knife to take a look, and ——!"
Shen Wuxin listened attentively, and when he saw Luo Shan suddenly stop, he asked, "Master, what have you discovered?"
Luo Shan shook his head and said: "I never thought that there were several human corpses that had been sucked dry......
