Chapter 158: The Mysterious Man

"Did you suspect me because of that? When did you start doubting me?"

Maybe it was because he was old, the old man Lian coughed twice, and then sat down on the chair in front of him, and Bai Jian had the sword around his neck from beginning to end.

Tang Shifu also sat down and came face to face with the old man Lian.

"I was suspicious of you from the beginning, according to your habits, every morning you will go to the back mountain to chop wood, and there is a pile of charcoal under the plank road that still has residual heat, I guess the assassin has been on standby in the plank road for a long time, and then meet you in the early morning. ”

Tang Shishi's analysis was the first to say, and the old man Lian opposite him stroked his beard and nodded, and then he laughed.

"Hahahaha! Now that you've found out, I'm not going to hide it, yes, I'm in league with those assassins. ”

For some reason, Old Man Lian has always been very calm, as if all this was in his plan, but he was a little curious.

"Since I was caught by you, I don't want to resist uselessly, but there is one thing I can't figure out, so I want to ask Bai Shaoxia, why do you say that it is a crow after the roof tiles of the hall fall during the day?"

Everyone remembered the roof tiles that had slipped off this morning, and Bai Jian said he had seen a crow house.

Bai Jian smiled and said: "If you guessed correctly, it should be your comrade, right? In order to blame Fei Yu, you deliberately found a person with a similar body shape to him, and then destroyed the tiles to attract us over, according to your assumption, it should be Tang Zhangmen who saw the back, but unfortunately only I saw it." ”

After speaking, Bai Jian put away his sword, walked to Fei Yu's side, grabbed Fei Yu's hand and continued.

"If you want to loosen a large number of tiles on the roof, you can only pull them out one by one by hand, which doesn't sound difficult, but this morning when I saw that the head of Tang said that he wanted to make up, he was reluctant, and after asking me, I learned that this tile is not an ordinary tile, the edge of this tile is very sharp, and it will bleed if you touch it lightly. ”

Several people looked at Fei Yu's hand, although it was covered with calluses and the skin was very rough, there was no wound.

Then Bai Jian took out a tile from the table, and then gently touched Fei Yu's finger with the tile, and in an instant, a blood mark appeared on Fei Yu's finger.

"Can't you touch your own hands?" Fei Yu muttered, then withdrew his hand and put the wound in his mouth.

This alone really cleared Fei Yu's suspicion, but Bai Jian hadn't answered the question of the old man Lian, why did he say that he was a crow.

Bai Jian said: "As for why I said it was a crow, then it's only to blame you for not being able to grasp the time, at that time we had just started to investigate, and the suspect was not only Fei Yu, but you sent someone to break the tiles at this point in time, and I had also seen Fei Yu at that time, so even if I saw someone, I wasn't sure who it was." ”

Hearing this, the old man Lian smiled bitterly, he didn't expect his plan to be so perfect, but in the end he failed because Bai Jian had never seen Fei Yu.

"As for the crow, I think the person who planned this event must be curious, and I also feel that the person will come to me, no, I caught you. ”

Half an hour later, under Tang Shiv's inquiry, Old Man Lian told the reason why he did this.

It turned out that the weapon that Tang Shishi was getting now was designed by Old Man Lian at the beginning, and he had been in the Tang Sect for so many years, and he would more or less know how to make hidden weapons.

Since the old man Lian didn't know martial arts, the light skills on his body were also taught to him by the previous head, in order to make it easier for him to chop wood.

It is precisely because he doesn't know martial arts that the old man Lian will be bullied as soon as he comes out of the Tang Sect, and in the end he couldn't bear it anymore so he designed this weapon.

"I started working on it as soon as I finished designing it, but when I was halfway through it, I was seen by the previous boss, who said that this weapon could destroy the whole world, so I stopped my research and put away the design of the weapon. ”

As he spoke, the old man slammed the table hard, gritted his teeth and continued: "But why? Why should we people who don't know martial arts be bullied by your so-called people in the rivers and lakes?"

The old man Lian, who was a little excited, coughed a few more times, and Tang Mengmeng on the side walked up and patted him lightly on the back, and then said slowly in a childish voice.

"But you still have me, and everyone from the Tang Sect. ”

"Moe Meng ...... I've done such a thing, and I can't stay here anymore if you don't kill me. ”

After listening to Old Man Lian's words, everyone felt sorry, especially Tang Shishi, perhaps seeing everyone's feelings, Tang Mengmeng smiled at Old Man Lian.

"Grandpa Lian, do you remember? Once you went to chop wood, I said I wanted to go too, but you said it was dangerous and didn't let me go. ”

Old man Lian thought for a moment, and then laughed too, "I remember, in the end, you still secretly followed." ”

"Well, I hid behind a rock on the edge of the cliff to avoid being discovered by you, but there was a big spider on the rock, which scared me back two steps, and then I stepped into the air, and half of my body hung on the cliff. ”

Tang Mengmeng paused, then rolled up his sleeves, there were two small scars on them, the skin near the scars had turned black, and several people also found that the old man Lian also had an identical scar on his hand.

"At that time, I shouted for help, it was you who ran over and pulled me up for the first time, and you saw a spider bite on my hand, and whether it was a poisonous spider or not, you grabbed it directly, and finally was bitten by it. ”

Saying that, Tang Mengmeng put the scars on his arms next to the scars of Old Man Lian, and the two scars were side by side.

I saw a tear drop on Tang Mengmeng's hand, and when he looked up, the old man Lian was holding back his tears.

"During the time I left Tangmen, I also met a lot of different people, there were a few times when I was in deep danger, and it was the chivalrous men of the rivers and lakes who saved me, but in my heart, the real hero is only Grandpa Lian. ”

After speaking, Tang Shishi pointed to himself, as if he was asking me, but no one paid attention to him.

Hearing this, the old man Lian's tears finally couldn't be controlled, and he hugged Tang Mengmeng and cried.

Tang Shixi sighed and said, "I won't pursue this matter, anyway, the plank road has been destroyed, and the weapon is almost complete." ”

Everyone present was very happy, and at this moment, a woman's laughter came from outside the room, and then a woman's voice came: "It's really a waste, you can't do a little bit of it, and I have to do it myself." ”

Everyone ran out of the room, and on the roof, directly across from their door, stood a woman in fancy dress.

The old man Lian trembled all over, and said excitedly: "You! It's you." ”

After speaking, the old man fainted.

The woman took out an item and continued, "It's useless, but thank you, if you hadn't delayed it, I wouldn't have gotten this weapon." ”

The woman jumped lightly and jumped to the roof above them, and several people quickly chased after them, all the way to the cliff, and finally the woman jumped off the cliff in front of everyone and disappeared.
