Chapter 21
"I'm sorry, but once again using your identity as a cover. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In the humble guest room, Cen Qing closed the door with his backhand, put a stool in front of Zhang Yu, and apologized softly. After the confrontation on the stairs just now, the little girl's body was still trembling slightly, and it was not until she sat down that she looked better, and after a moment, she raised her head, her eyes full of doubt.
"Are they telling the truth?"
"Huh?"
"What about your murder in Yueyang......"
Cen Qing was stunned, and then smiled: "It's true, I killed all the people in the beggar gang's nest." ”
He briefly told Yue Yang about it, then walked to the window, opened the window, and the sound of rain came in from outside. The sudden chill made the little girl shiver, and when she looked at Cen Qing, she was already in awe, but she still mustered up the courage to continue asking.
"So you're a woman too?"
Cen Qing didn't expect that she was actually struggling with this kind of thing at the moment, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, so she thought about it before saying, "I'm a man." ”
"But you are a woman in their portraits...... for some reason, Zhang Yu's voice trembled a little, and a layer of fog was also covered in her big eyes, she stood up and walked towards Cen Qing, stretched out her hand to catch Cen Qing's careful identification, "You are lying to me." ”
Cen Qing sighed, grabbed the little girl's hands, brought her back to the stool and sat down, and watched her gradually calm down before saying, "Okay, I admit that I did lie to you before, but in fact, I am not a monk, but a demon." ”
"Demon?" Zhang Yu didn't expect Cen Qing to say such a thing, and he was stunned for a while.
"Yes, a demon who has just transformed into this world is like chasing stars. Cen Qing let go of her hand and straightened up, "I originally wanted to send you to Yiyang safely, but it's a pity that the government has already chased you, and the monks may also chase after you soon, so I have to leave immediately." ”
Hearing that Cen Qing was leaving, the little girl's body stiffened suddenly, and her face turned pale.
"I'm sorry, but there's no way around it, and if I continue to walk with you, I'll only cause you unexpected trouble. Cen Qing shook his head, recited a spell, summoned the five ghosts in the spirit bracelet, and met Zhang Yu's surprised and sad gaze, sighed again, and said, "The five of them are my personal ghost attendants, I will temporarily put them by your side to protect you, and they will escort you safely to Yiyang." You can keep them with you, or contain them in your artifact. ”
The five ghosts were a little stupid in the face of such a scene, Cen Lu moved the corners of his mouth, as if he was about to say something, but was stopped by Cen Qing's stern look. He felt that although the combat power of the five ghosts was only average, if he didn't meet the monk, there would be no problem in protecting a little girl. Besides, I heard what the official of the arrest department said just now, it seems that the monk's behavior is still under the supervision of Zhang Tianshi, Zhang Yu's family background is related to Longhu Mountain, and the monks should not come to her for trouble.
However, Zhang Yu's eyes were red, he bit his lip tightly, and asked after a while: "You're not going to Caizhou with me?"
"My agreement with Zhang Shan is just to send you to Yiyang. Cen Qing shook his head, his tone calm, "I know that you went to Caizhou to help Chasing Star get back the cold chalcedony, and I have promised Chasing Star to help her get it, so you only need to go to Yiyang." ”
"But you promised to go to Caizhou with me. Zhang Yu suddenly shook, and his voice unconsciously cried, "You promised me." ”
Cen Qing turned around, he didn't know how to persuade the almost transparent child in front of him, and he didn't want to hurt her with the little tricks he had used to coax the girl in his previous life. He could only look out the window at the deep rain curtain, which was blown in by the wind, drenching his black hair, but not staining his clothes at all.
"I'm sorry. He said.
"You lied to me, bastard. ”
"So, I'm leaving. Cen Qing was silent for a long time, and only then did she speak softly when she sniffled and put the five ghosts into the ethereal jade gate, a jade pendant hanging from her waist.
"You wait. ”
Zhang Yu rubbed his eyes, reached out and took out the star-chasing sword from the ethereal jade, and handed it to Cen Qing: "In this case, I won't go to Yiyang, when the rain stops, I will take the carriage back to Lin'an, you take the star chaser to get the cold chalcedony, remember to come to Lin'an to find me in the future, do you remember where my family lives?"
"Lin'an Dongcheng, Chongxinmen. As soon as the words came out, Cen Qing's heart jumped suddenly, it was Lin'an again, could it be that he still couldn't escape the fate of being a maid for the white lady?
Thinking of this, he didn't go to pick up the Star Chasing Sword, but frowned and thought to himself for a while, shook his head and said to Zhang Yu: "No, I'll take you to Yiyang now, and then I'll go to get cold chalcedony, and you wait for me in Yiyang for a few days." ”
"What?" Zhang Yu's eyes widened in astonishment at Cen Qing's sudden change of hexagram.
"In any case, I can't go to Lin'an. Cen Qing said as he waved his hand to put the reed mats, bedding and other things in the room into the spirit bracelet, threw a small piece of broken silver on the table, and asked Zhang Yu to wait for him in the room for a while, and he turned over and jumped out of the window.
After about a stick of incense, he carried a set of robes bought from a nearby farmer's house in his hand and motioned for Zhang Yu to put it on. Then he picked up the little girl on his back, jumped out of the window again, and lightly touched the window lattice with his toes, and his body crossed a distance of seven or eight feet like a line of smoke, and fell on the ridge of the house next to him, and after a few vertical jumps, he disappeared into the vast rain curtain.
......
The room was lit with lights and candles, and Zhang Quan and several other leaders were sitting and talking.
"A thousand years ago, the first generation of Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling once united the entire world of Taoism and made such a constraint on monks: Mortal monks are not allowed to bully the weak and harm living beings, they are not allowed to act arbitrarily and rebel against human ethics, and they are not allowed to confuse believers and cause chaos to the court. Otherwise, they will be punished - these are the six prohibitions against monks, also known as the humanitarian law. It is precisely because of this decree that humanity is prosperous today, and it has not continued to be destroyed at the hands of monks and demons like the pre-Qin kingdoms. Therefore, the imperial court also relied a lot on the Daomen, and even the monks who violated the laws and disciplines of the world could only be handed over to the Daomen for disposal. ”
Zhang Quan explained to his subordinates and sighed, "You want to ask me why I don't do it directly, but you know that I also have difficulties." ”
However, he did not explicitly say that he was a monk, and the words of those Jianghu people were not to be believed. Someone questioned.
"We don't have direct evidence that he's the killer. Zhang Quan punched the table hatefully, "In your opinion, he is the woman?"
As soon as this question came out, several subordinates in his room twisted and looked at each other, and one of them said: "Judging from his subordinates, although that kid is handsome and thin, he is a man no matter how he looks, at least the women I have seen have not walked like him." ”
"Yes, women have different body structures than men, women have slender bones, and their pelvis is wide and short, so they have a sense of swaying when they walk, whether deliberately or not, even for obese women. Zhang Quan's words made several people grin, and they seemed to instantly think of the appearance of an obese woman walking, "while men have thick bones, narrow and high pelvis, and when they walk, their waists are straight and hardly shaking." ”
As soon as someone was about to refute, Zhang Quan stretched out his hand to block his words, and helped him continue with a black face: "Of course, children and fake women have been raised since childhood, and they cannot be compared with normal people. ”
"What if the girl in this painting is a little ass, or has she been raised as a boy since she was a child?"
"I think it's more reasonable to say that he pretended to be a woman to kill people. ”
"Anyway, I think this kid is extremely unpleasant, so I just find a reason to do it. ”
"Shut your stinky mouths!" Zhang Quan was dizzy from their noise, and almost confused the thoughts in his heart, "He is the woman, there is no doubt about it, when Zhang Daochang returns to Longhu Mountain to finish his errand, and then bring the dog over to find out." It's just that I don't want to give her to Daomen...... Since she is going to go out of the customs to the Central Plains, why don't we go to the Central Plains to have a good time with her, and by the way, we will do another thing together. ”
"What do you mean by lifting, that Bai Yuanshan?"
"Hmph, the Baling beggars gang was uprooted by us, Bai Yuanshan fled to Zhaojiabao, naturally he went back to find the master to complain, and the woman happened to be going to Caizhou, you said that if Bai Yuanshan knew that she ruined his plan, what should I do?"
Under the shadow of the lamp, the faces of several people were cloudy, and then they laughed in unison.
"It's a good trick to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and it's really a clever plan to lift the adult. ”
Before the laughter stopped, other guards outside the door hurriedly came to say: "Lord Zhang, it's not good, that guy named Cen Qing slipped away with someone at some point." ”
"What?"
After a while, Zhang Quan stared at Cen Qing's empty room, and angrily kicked the stool to smash: "Shameless thief!
The window that was pushed open swayed in the wind, as if to laugh at the incompetence of this group of black-clothed people, Zhang Quan gritted his teeth and looked at the dim sky in the rain: "Originally, I just suspected, she now took the initiative to reveal her identity, I can only blame her for being stupid, there is only one shortcut to the Central Plains, call the brothers to prepare horses immediately, chase me!"
