But how should I answer, and what kind of expression I need to make when answering, in order not to arouse the slightest suspicion of others, Zhang Feiyang has already rehearsed thousands of times on the lake.

In an extremely calm and innocent tone, he recounted the process of talking with Xiang Dong in the hut that day, and the interpretation was flawless and flawless, as if they really talked about these things in two words.

Huo Dan asked if Xiang Dong had ever gone to him again after Zhang Feiyang left.

Zhang Feiyang firmly denied: "No." ”

After a while, seeing that Hodan was still full of suspicion, he added: "Oh. Anyway, I haven't seen Senior Brother Xiang again. Maybe he came to me, I happened to be in the laundry department, and I went out to take out the trash. Or maybe on the way to find Senior Brother Xiang, he suddenly remembered that there was something else and temporarily changed his mind and went to other places. ”

Of course, this was naturally designed by Zhang Feiyang in advance.

He feels that if a person denies and emphasizes his innocence, it seems too contrived and too fake, and it is easy for people to think that he is a thief.

Such answers are also more confusing, making it difficult to distinguish between what is true and what is false.

In this way, it is naturally more certain to make Hodan believe that he has nothing to do with this matter.

Because only truly innocent people will be fearless and speak out unreservedly about situations that may threaten them.

This is called being upright and not being afraid of shadows.

Hodan really didn't continue to pursue this issue, smiled and nodded, "I know." You are innocent. "Expression.

Zhang Feiyang still didn't dare to be careless.

He didn't dare to let down his guard until he figured out why Hodan had chosen to bring him to the courtyard for questioning.

Seeing Huo Dan's kind smile, he was even more nervous, hugged his fists, and wanted to leave: "Senior Brother Huo." If that's fine. I'll go back. ”

Huo Dan suddenly reached out and grabbed his shoulder, smiled coldly, and dissuaded in a low voice: "Senior Brother Zhang." Don't worry. I'm not done yet. After my investigation, after Senior Brother Xiang's body was brought back, I found that his cultivation technique, Qi Refining Technique, was missing. I've searched his house, but I still haven't found it. Where do you think it's going to fall?"

As soon as these words came out, the breeze stopped suddenly, the chill became much lighter, and the atmosphere in the entire courtyard suddenly became depressed and tense.

Zhang Feiyang only felt as if he was a chick caught by an eagle, sweating all over his body, and it was even more dangerous, but he didn't dare to show the slightest.

He remained calm, tried to meet Huo Dan's sharp gaze, returned a dissatisfied look, and said, "Senior Brother Huo." What do you mean by that? Do you suspect that I can't take it? I admit it. Compared with other senior brothers and sisters, I have been in the door for so long that I haven't even seen "Qi Refining Technique" at a glance. I was more suspicious than anyone else.

However, you can't doubt me just because I want the Qi Refining Technique more than anyone else, right? I haven't been in contact with Senior Brother Xiang for a long time. The number of meetings combined, is only two. His "Qi Refining Technique" was lost. Where do I go to get it? How do I get it? Is it possible that something as important as the Qi Refining Technique will be placed on the table in the room and let me take it?

Also, even if I have this luck, I happen to come to Senior Brother Xiang's house and see the "Qi Refining Technique", do I dare to take it? Shouldn't I secretly take a few sneaky glances and memorize the important content inside, is it better? Isn't this what a normal person should do? You can doubt my motives, but you can't insult my IQ!"

These words were impassioned and reasonable, but they caught Huo Dan by surprise, and he was a little stunned.

After a long while, he filtered Zhang Feiyang's defense just now in his mind several times, and then he figured out the logic and reason, smiled slightly, let go of the hand that was holding Zhang Feiyang, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes." Senior Brother Zhang, you're right. It's that I'm not thinking it through. ”

Zhang Feiyang wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to relax.

Because, with Hodan's sudden question just now, he thought of a question that he had been ignoring.

Why did Huo Dan choose himself, the most inconspicuous person, instead of the more outstanding disciples, when deciding on the number of disciples in this alchemy department?

This question was like a dark cloud, backlogged on Zhang Feiyang's mind, and instead of being happy that his performance was close to perfection, he raised a trace of worry.

I always feel that something bad is about to happen, but I can't predict what it is.

Really.

At the moment when Zhang Feiyang thought about it, he just took his eyes off Hodan.

A cold murderous intent suddenly flashed on Hodan's face, which had been smiling.

He raised his big hand, his palm was like the wind, and with a bang, he pressed firmly on Zhang Feiyang's chest, and he flew out two or three feet away, and fell to the ground on his back.

Zhang Feiyang screamed, spit out a mouthful of blood, and was caught off guard, his internal organs were damaged, and his painful face was sallow and sallow and trembling slightly.

At this moment, Huo Dan stepped forward a few steps, squatted down, raised his hand and grabbed it, his right palm clasped Zhang Feiyang's shoulder who had just sat up, his eyes were closed, his whole body shook slightly, and an aura rushed out of his palm and drilled into Zhang Feiyang's body.

Feeling this aura rushing rapidly in his body, wandering up and down, left and right, wandering irregularly, mainly to control the range of activity near the area of internal organs that had been injured, Zhang Feiyang finally understood Huo Dan's motives.

He wanted to try to check his internal condition by injuring himself and then using the aura to investigate.

Because, if he really hadn't stolen the Qi Refining Technique, then there would be no change in the situation in his body.

But once he really stole the Qi Refining Technique, and successfully passed the cultivation and guided the aura, it would be difficult to hide.

And like Zhang Feiyang, who has already practiced his cultivation to the point of stability in the early stage of the Qi refining period, once he is injured, the aura will automatically guide out to repair the damaged internal organs, and there is no need to deliberately meditate cross-legged.

Unless there is a very serious injury, it is necessary to do so.

Huo Dan's palm just now was obviously measured, and he tried to use this method to confirm whether Zhang Feiyang was lying.

But he may not have expected it at all, all this is still in Zhang Feiyang's expectations.

In order to make himself look like a mortal as much as possible when he was being investigated, Zhang Feiyang thought of any way, but he felt that there were loopholes.

As long as there are loopholes, he always feels uneasy.

Especially when the internal organs are injured, the aura will automatically guide out, and without going through the cultivator's own thoughts, it will automatically gather on the injured part and repair this ability.

Compared to the fact that aura must be channeled through the cultivator's own mind, this ability is actually more advanced.

But Zhang Feiyang thought about it and always felt that it was not safe enough.

After a few days of careful consideration, he made a bold decision to re-engage in the cultivation of the aura guidance ability, but the goal was no longer to work towards the advanced automatic operation stage of the aura guidance ability, but on the contrary, to forcibly downgrade the advanced stage that had obviously been refined to the low-level stage that must be controlled by the mind.

This is not an easy task, as if you are trying to force a small ball that is larger than the size of a container into a container.

During the pain, difficulties, regret caused by repeated failures and other inhuman tortures, only Zhang Feiyang, the first person who tried to do this, knew best in his heart.

Even a person with a firm heart like him was even eager to give up halfway through.

But every time I think that giving up at this time is equivalent to falling short, having nothing, and even my life may not be saved, Zhang Feiyang still gritted his teeth and persevered until the moment of success.

Really.

Countless days and nights of hard work were not in vain, and when Huo Dan released his aura to investigate the situation in Zhang Feiyang's body, he found nothing.

Seeing that the situation in his body was no different from that of an ordinary mortal, and that the aura had not yet been channeled, Huo Dan smiled slightly, nodded contentedly, patted Zhang Feiyang's shoulder, and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, I'm sorry." I'm a cautious person. Please don't blame me. You can rest assured. Your injuries are not serious, go back and recuperate for a few days and you'll be fine. ”

At this time, Zhang Feiyang finally breathed a sigh of relief, endured the pain of fainting, nodded with difficulty, stood up, bowed, and turned to leave.

But after only taking a step, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, Huo Dan wanted to let himself enter the alchemy department, but he still couldn't think about it, and was about to turn around and ask for an understanding, but he saw that Huo Dan didn't know when, and took out a palm-sized stone in his hand.

The red light on the stone flickered, and a piece of light was released, like a red glow, shrouding Hodan's whole person with a mysterious feeling.

Zhang Feiyang had an ominous premonition in his heart, how dare he stay, instantly guide the aura to protect the damaged internal organs, turn around and run.

Huo Dan laughed, and the stone in his hand lifted upward, and the red light that gathered outside the stone like a red glow flashed, and a long rainbow broke through the air, and before Zhang Feiyang fled into the wooden house, it hit him firmly on the back.

Zhang Feiyang only felt a fiery energy rushing into his body, and his internal organs seemed to be torn apart in an instant, and his whole body strength was lost, and he slammed into the door of the wooden house.

Seeing that under the protection of the fire fox skin and aura, the internal organs were still injured, and they almost burst open on the spot, turned into smithereens, and died of exhaustion, Zhang Feiyang was shocked into a cold sweat, and quickly fell to the ground, pretending to be dying, glaring at Huo Dan fiercely, as if a dying person wanted to figure out the cause of death before the temporary time, and asked with difficulty: "Why do you want to kill me?" Where did I offend you?"
