Chapter 296: Nowhere to be Found
Wu Liang and Lu Zi searched for Laoshan for two days. They walked all over Laoshan and didn't see Qu Ba.
"Master! Qu Ba is afraid that he has gone down the mountain. Lu Zi followed Wu Liang for two days. He felt that the master was simply venting his emotions.
"Tonight, we will sleep here and go down tomorrow!" Wu Liang said, sitting on a rock.
Lu Zi picked up dry branches and piled them in front of the master. Then, Wu Liang took out the magic flint and lit the branches. Wu Liang took the magic flint and thought of Xiao Xin. After he calmed down, he remembered his master's words, and the magic of the demon shadow made Qu Hachi fall into the devil. In other words, it is still his own responsibility to become a demon. If he didn't bring Xiao Xin to his living space, then the Demon Shadow and Xiao Xin would not die together. The magic of the shadow would not have gathered in the contemplation to cause today's results.
Demon Shadow! Demon Shadow! You will still harm people until you die! This Demon is really not a thing! Wu Liang scolded in his heart. Lu Zi felt a little hungry in his belly. He suddenly remembered the Clearing Valley. So, he sat cross-legged and practiced the art of bigu.
The next day, Wu Liang took Lu Zi down Laoshan to the town. They searched the town for a long time but didn't find Qu Ba. Lu Zi asked around if there was a square face, and the red-haired man had appeared. The guy in a small store said that there was really such a person. Last night, he was drunk, and a young man with dyed red hair and a big square face bought him two bottles of mineral water and a loaf of bread. After Lu Zi asked Qingqu Ba to go north, he and Wu Liang also bought water and bread and pursued it.
In the evening, they came to the town of M. Wu Liang and Lu Zi stayed in a family hotel. The conditions here are average, and it is a little cold at night. Wu Liang had no choice but to sit cross-legged on the bed with Lu Zi and meditate and practice.
In the morning, Wu Liang and Lu Zi were eating fritters at the breakfast stall and drinking soy milk, when they heard from the master who sold the fritters that someone had been sitting under the shed he had spread last night. It wasn't until the master of the fried fritters had fried the first pot of fritters that the man stood up. The master of the fried fritters saw that he had been frozen overnight, so he gave him a stick of fried dough sticks and a bowl of soy milk. Then he continued north.
"Master, Qu Ba has been going north, where is he going?" Lu Zi said as he looked at the bright sun above his head.
"You know, we don't have to work so hard. Wu Liang rubbed his nose
Wu Liang's master and apprentice lost all clues to Quba in the third city. Wu Liang sat in the hotel in frustration and didn't say a word. Lu Zi peeled an orange for the master. Wu Liang almost didn't eat the orange core in his stomach. Why did the master have to take Qu Ba back by himself? Wu Liang was puzzled.
"Master, someone has killed someone at Luqing Bridge!" Lu Zi handed the phone to Wu Liang. Wu Liang looked at the figure in the picture, which looked very similar to Qu Ba. He was facing the victims. The victim fell overboard and died.
"Qu Ba kills?" Wu Liang felt incredulous. Although he doesn't like Qu Ba, he still knows Qu Ba's personality very well. He doesn't get angry with people for no reason. Could it be his demonic nature? Maybe that's why the master asked me to find him.
"Let's go there and have a look!" Wu Liang and Lu Zi took a taxi to Lu Qingqiao. There is no one there anymore.
"Lu Zi, we need to find him as soon as possible. Wu Liang and Lu Zi ran north.
That night, Lu Zi, who was sitting on the bed in the hotel room, showed his mobile phone to Wu Liang. Wu Liang glanced at it, and his heart was overjoyed. It turns out that Qu Ba is to save people, not kill people. The police have investigated clearly. The deceased left a suicide note. He suffered from an incurable disease and decided to die. Just as he was about to jump off the bridge, Qu Ba happened to pass by and grabbed the man's hand to save him. Another passer-by also came to help after taking a photo. But others have no desire to survive and are bent on death. In the end, he suddenly hit Qu Ba's tiger mouth. Qu Ba let go of his hand, and the man fell into the water under the bridge and disappeared. Another person called the police, but Qu Ba quietly left.
"Master! Qu Ba didn't go bad. Lu Zi said happily.
"Find him before he becomes bad!" Wu Liang said to Lu Zi, in fact, he also said it to himself.
Here they looked north for Qu Ba's whereabouts, but Qu Ba was like evaporating from the world, and there was no more news.
The weather has cooled down for the past two days. Wu Liang and Lu Zi walked very hard all the way. They searched and inquired almost aimlessly. Wu Liang felt that it was not a way to find it like this. If this song stopped somewhere, wouldn't he have missed it?" he pondered. In the end, Wu Liang found Qu Cai, the leader of the beggar gang. Qu knew Yuan Xiaogang's name. As soon as Wu Liang mentioned it, Qu Cai agreed to mobilize his disciples to find it. But you need a portrait to find someone. Qu Ba didn't leave any photos of himself at all. Qu Cai said that it was not difficult. He asked Wu Liang and Lu Zi to wait for him for a while.
Wu Liang and Lu Zi sat in a tavern, eating side dishes, drinking wine and waiting. After an hour or so, Qu Cai brought a young man. As soon as the young man heard that Wu Liang was looking for someone, he took them to the local police station. They reported Qu Ba's real name, Qu Lianshan. Hometown: Qufu. They found eight people named Qu Lianshan on the Internet, but none of them were. The young man took them to his office, and Wu Liang realized that Qu Cai had found a policeman.
"Describe what he looks like. The policeman turned on the computer.
Wu Liang and Lu Zi told Qu Ba's appearance and characteristics. After a while, they saw a printed portrait. Not to mention, it's quite similar. Wu Liang sighed in his heart.
"What else is not quite like it?"
"This forehead is a little wider, and the mouth is a little bigger. Wu Liang said, and printed out another one.
"That's right!" exclaimed Lu Zi, looking at the printed drawings. Wu Liang also nodded. They took the manuscript and went to the photocopy office to print many sheets. Qu Cai then sent these images of Qu Ba to his disciples.
"You just wait here for news. Qu Cai patted Wu Liang on the shoulder.
"He's going north. Wu Liang added.
"Don't worry! ”
Wu Liang and Lu Zi stayed in the hotel. They waited a week and didn't hear from them. It seems that this beggar gang is not as good as it used to be. Wu Liang sighed in his heart. Where did he know that it wasn't that the beggars couldn't do it, but that this Qu Ba had been wandering since he was a child, and he had a fixed foothold in every place. These places are extremely secretive and hidden from outsiders. Even if this beggar gang has the ability to find people, they are helpless.
Ten days later, Qu Cai appeared in front of Wu Liang with his head drooping. He swore to Wu Liang that this was the first time that the beggar gang could not find anyone.
"His master is Hongyuan. Can you look it up from here?" Wu Liang knew that the beggar gang couldn't find anyone, so he and Lu Zi couldn't mention it.
"What other clues?" Qu Cai felt that he was very shameless.
"It's gone!" Wu Liang didn't know much about Qu Ba.
"He told us that he and his master often settled in ruined temples. Lu Zi added.
Qu Cai left. Wu Liang lay on the bed and looked at the roof of the shed in a daze. Where will he go?
A few days later, Qu Cai came again. Although he has no news of Quba. But he told Wu Liang that Master Hongyuan was not dead. He is letting his disciples find out the whereabouts of Master Hongyuan.
Wu Liang felt that Qu Cai's idea was good. Qu Ba may have missed his former master, so he went to the place where he and his master had been. Yes, it must be. Wu Liang was happy with his new idea.
"Lu Zi! Get up! Let's go out for a walk. Wu Liang dragged Lu Zi out of the room together.
The air outside was cool, but much better than the air inside the house. Wu Liang couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Master, where are we going?" Lu Zi felt that the master was a little abnormal.
"Just walk around. Wu Liang had just raised his feet to cross the road when a car came at a gallop. A girl in a pink down jacket stood stunned. Seeing that the car was about to crash into the girl, Wu Liang flew to save the girl. The car sped away. Lu Zi's eyes were sharp, and he saw clearly that the license plate number was ZZ666X88.
"Thank you!" said the frightened girl as she stood firm.
"There's something weird about this car. Why didn't he step on the brakes?" Wu Liang looked at the distance of the road, in the direction where the car had disappeared.
"Master, I can see that the license plate number is: ZZ666X88. Lu Zi blurted out.
The girl pulled out her phone and dialed a number. She said for a long time, and then told the other party the license plate number that Lu Zi saw. When the girl hung up the phone, she said to Lu Zi: "My father thank you for me!"
Is there a mistake? I saved you, but you thanked him? Wu Liang looked at the girl in confusion. The girl was innocent. Her skin seemed to be blown apart. Lu Zi was also fascinated by the girl's appearance. They jotted down each other's cell phone numbers.
