Chapter 22: Drag and Deceive

Seeing that Zhang Feiyang's face was pale, and he was no different from a dead man, Huo Dan put away the stone, shook his head and smiled, proudly put his hands behind his back, and swaggered around and left.

Zhang Feiyang called him several times.

Hodan laughed but didn't answer, with a reaction of "you're not qualified to listen, rest in peace".

Seeing Huo Dan walk out of the hut and disappear outside the door, Zhang Feiyang felt very uncomfortable, fear, dissatisfaction, worry, all kinds of negative emotions came one after another, wanting to vent, but he didn't dare to speak out.

If Hodan suddenly came back and checked his injuries again, it would be over.

Zhang Feiyang was cautious for so long, and when he thought that when he came into contact with Hodan, his performance was foolproof, but he didn't expect such a perfect answer, but he was still harmed by others.

He couldn't figure it out.

If it is reasonable to say that Xiang Dong wanted to kill himself at the beginning, because he saw the process of his rise with his own eyes and realized that he would become a threat to him in the future, he wanted to eliminate himself in advance, which is reasonable, then it is illogical for Huo Dan to kill himself inexplicably just now.

Zhang Feiyang had another knot in his heart.

Long after Hodan left, he was still lying on the ground, invoking aura to repair his injuries, while thinking about this question, hoping to find an answer.

Because, even if it seems illogical and reasonable for Hodan to kill himself now, he still doesn't think that there must be a completely reasonable reason for Hodan to have any mental problems, but he hasn't found it yet.

However, after being injured, Zhang Feiyang's spirit was more or less affected, not to mention that the environment he was in now was still Xiang Dong's house, not a safe cabin in the laundry department.

Outside the door, he didn't know if Hodan could return at any time, and he didn't dare to go out at any time.

In such a highly tense situation, it is not easy to stay calm, let alone find out Hodan's motive for killing.

Zhang Feiyang worked hard all night, but the results were still zero.

The only thing that made him happy was that at the end of the night, his injuries had finally recovered, and Hodan really thought he was dead and never came back.

But this made Zhang Feiyang even more worried.

Hodan was bent on killing himself, and if he knew that he was not dead, wouldn't he be in danger? Wouldn't it be possible that Hodan would come and assassinate him? What should he do?

Zhang Feiyang shook his head, there was no better way for the time being, stood up, and walked outside the house.

But after only two steps, suddenly, my heart moved, and I had an idea.

"That's right. Since Hodan wants to kill me. If I play a fake show, if I play dead by the way, it is indeed a good way. That might be the case to find out why Hodan killed me. But for me, it doesn't make sense. If I'm stronger than Hodan and can defeat him when I fight him, that's a good idea. ”

Zhang Feiyang sighed, dragged his chin, retreated into the courtyard, and began to pace in circles.

"However, my strength is not as good as his. It's a fact. What's more, I don't even know what the stone he injured me yesterday was, let alone how to deal with it. It can even penetrate the red vest, which means that if I really fight him head-on now, I have no chance of winning. Hurry up and cultivate secretly, if you can improve your cultivation from the early stage to the late stage of the Qi refining period, all the problems will naturally be solved. This approach is not practical. ”

Zhang Feiyang nodded and slowed down.

"First, I didn't have the cultivation techniques in the late stage of the Qi refining period. If you really want to continue cultivating, you can only try to figure it out for yourself. I'm not a gifted person, so how long will it take? Obviously, this method will not work. If I wait too long, no matter how well I hide it, I may find out. Unless you leave the Firefox Sect hereafter. ”

Zhang Feiyang shook his head, turned around, and began to pace in the opposite direction.

"But I've only been in the Firefox Sect for a short time now. I'm pretty familiar with everything here. I don't know if other sects accept disciples from other sects, and if they accept disciples, they are not very strict. I'm not up for it. What's more, don't other sects have people like Xiang Dong and Huo Dan?

Absolutely. In that case, I might as well stay here. At the very least, if I stay, I know who friends are and who enemies are. It is even more dangerous if you go to another place and can't even tell whether you are friend or foe. ”

Zhang Feiyang stopped, looked at the shadow under his feet, nodded, muttered for a moment, and began to walk back and forth in a straight line.

"In this way, it seems that it is in my best interest for me to stay, and to let Hodan know that I am alive. But this seems to be contradictory. Hodan knew I was alive, and it was impossible not to want to kill me again. ”

Thinking of this, he suddenly stopped again, suddenly looked up, and stared blankly at the sky in the distance.

At this time, the sky has already brightened, the sun is shining, the sun drilled out of the clouds, it seems full of energy, but there is still a shadow of the moon hanging in the air on the other side, transparent as if a weak old man, unwilling to withdraw from the stage of the sky, it looks a little pitiful, depressed and lonely.

As soon as Zhang Feiyang's eyes noticed the shadow of the moon, his whole body seemed to be fixed by a given body technique, motionless, and after a while, when the shadow of the moon completely disappeared in the air and was no longer visible, his heart moved, and he laughed.

Then, suddenly, he retracted all his smiles, covered his chest with one hand, and bent his waist into a bow, as if he were a dying old man, shuffling and waddling, gasping for breath, and pretending to be tired as he walked out of the hut and returned to the laundry office.

It was the only thing he could think of to deal with it.

Through one flip-flop and another word deception, to make Hodan think that he is not dead, but he is not far from death, and the reason why he is still alive is that his life is relatively hard, and he can delay it for a long time.

In this way, Zhang Feiyang hopes to figure out why Hodan is murderous to himself.

He felt that was the most important thing at the moment.

If this problem cannot be clarified, he will not be able to sleep steadily, and no matter how much deployment and coping strategies he makes in the future, it will be empty talk.

As long as Hodan's motives can be exposed, no matter how many sins and cold eyes he suffers during this time, he doesn't care.

After two days, seeing that there was nothing major happening outside, and there was no movement on the other side of the event, Zhang Feiyang looked at the days, calculated briefly, and felt that it was almost time to go to the alchemy department to report, and said a simple goodbye to Sister Qiao and the senior sisters of the laundry department, and went to the alchemy department alone with heavy steps.

Sister Qiao saw that his face was not very good, and she wanted to accompany him, but Zhang Feiyang refused her, in order to prevent others from seeing through the fact that his injuries were already healed, he couldn't let anyone have a chance to check his injuries again.

Of course, if you are walking alone on the road, it is still very dangerous if you run into Hodan.

Therefore, Zhang Feiyang left the laundry department, and he was not in a hurry to go up the mountain, he was like an old man, sitting on a stone and waiting, looking at the mountain road leading to the alchemy department.

It wasn't until noon that he saw that there were more disciples coming down from the mountain and outside the mountain, densely packed, as lively as a bazaar, he slowly got up, still pretending to be seriously injured and not living long, and followed the crowd to the alchemy department.

Because, this time, Zhang Feiyang's transfer department was in charge of the leader of Huo Dan, and the disciples of the alchemy department did not dare to slack off, and waited at the door early.

As soon as he saw Zhang Feiyang appear in the team going up the mountain, two outer disciples approached, took Zhang Feiyang's hand, and helped him go up the mountain together.

This is followed by a series of simple formalities.

Zhang Feiyang met the new leader of the Alchemy Department, and simply greeted each other with the new senior brothers and sisters of the Alchemy Department, and then returned to his own hut alone.

However, after all, he is a person who has experienced Xiang Dong's assassination in the middle of the night, even if he is now a monk, but without knowing the motive of Huo Dan's killing, he is still worried that Huo Dan will use the same way to get rid of himself, and when he returned to the hut, he didn't dare to sleep on the bed at all, rolled the bedding into a bucket, and then put a layer of bedding on it, pretending to sleep on it.

Since the first day he entered the alchemy department, Zhang Feiyang has always slept under the bed every night.

During the day, Zhang Feiyang stayed in the alchemy room of the alchemy department and stayed with several younger senior brothers.

In order to let Hodan know that he was alive but about to die, he kept a low profile.

"Qi Refining Formula", don't learn.

The pill that can refine the healing elixir, don't look at it.

As for exchanging the cultivation experience of Qi Refining Technique, Zhang Feiyang even took the initiative to choose to go far away, and his ears were not heard, like a person who knew that he would not live long and was about to die, and he was no longer interested in any worldly things.

However, if you don't do anything, you naturally can't stay in the alchemy department, and besides, this will leave a tongue for others.

Zhang Feiyang still understands this truth.

In order to convince others that he was just trying to relieve boredom and not have other thoughts, he would take the initiative to do some rough and dirty work that the people in the alchemy department were reluctant to do, such as sweeping the floor, taking out the garbage, or pruning the flowers and trees in the yard.

As for the tiring work, he didn't dare to do it, he was afraid that it would arouse Hodan's suspicions.

After seven days like this, Zhang Feiyang's calm and boring days finally came to an end.

As soon as he hid under the bed and was about to rest, a figure appeared outside the window that had been closed, and in the moonlight, this figure looked very similar to Hodan.

Zhang Feiyang held his breath nervously.

But what he didn't expect was that at this moment, another dark shadow suddenly appeared on the window, and it looked like a woman.

I heard the woman lower her voice, giggled, as if she was ashamed and happy, the shadow reflected in the window trembled slightly, and suddenly threw herself into the arms of the other shadow, and whispered excitedly: "Senior brother." Why are you here? Are you here to see me? I miss you so much. ”

Hodan was taken aback.

At this time, he was wearing a night robe all over his body, tightly wrapped, and only a pair of eyes were exposed, but he didn't expect that he would recognize it to the senior sister of the alchemy department in front of him at once, and he couldn't help but feel troubled and a little depressed.

But with a roll of his eyes, Huo Dan took the time to his heart, smiled, simply pulled down the mask, revealed his true face, hugged his junior sister, looked at her affectionately, and said, "Yes." It's so late. Who else can I come to see? Senior sister, why are you here? Isn't this Zhang Feiyang's residence? Are you here to see him? Are you tempted by him?"

The junior sister was round and jade, under the illumination of the moonlight, her facial features were exquisite, and she was beautiful and delicious, she glanced at his flying window, and said with a smile: "Who will be tempted by him." He now looks like a living dead every day, as if he has been seriously injured in some way, and when we ask him, he never says anything. Symptoms have been getting worse lately. I don't think it will last a few days. ”

After speaking, her beautiful eyes fell back to Huo Dan, and suddenly stared at Huo Dan obsessively, because of excitement, a layer of blush appeared on her face, which was very good-looking, and she tried to restrain the excitement in her heart, and said, "Senior brother." I still just like you. Then, he hugged Hodan tightly.
