Chapter 33: The Bold Thief
"He's running over there, chase after him!" "Catch the thief!" After midnight, the quiet Luoxia Mountain suddenly remembered a noisy sound, and the place where Qiu Xin was located was very quiet, and it was really heard.
After walking out of the firewood room, I saw that the Taoist temple was brightly lit, the figures were full, and the sound of catching thieves was sheng, and Qiu Xin said in his heart, someone dared to run to Luoxia Mountain to steal things, it was really bold.
"Senior Brother Taishan, do you see someone running here?" Qiu Xin was about to turn around and go back to the house, not wanting to get involved in this matter, when a voice suddenly came from behind him, it was Qingwei who brought him here during the day.
At this time, Qing Wei gasped heavily, the torch in his hand was flushed, Qiu Xin frowned, and replied, "I haven't seen anyone here, but what is stolen from the view?"
"Someone has stolen the lamp oil for the opening ceremony and is running around, if the senior brother sees any suspicious person, don't let him go. Before Qiu Xin could answer, Qing Wei hurriedly ran to another place.
Qiu Xin has never heard of any lamp oil for the opening ceremony, but seeing the atmosphere on the mountain, it seems that it is also an important thing, but Luoxia Mountain is full of Taoist priests, and people who want to come to steal oil can't run away.
.........
"Qiu Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm!" Qiu Xin walked into the house, was startled by the sudden voice, and looked at it, there was a person sitting upright on the futon, dressed as a scholar, a beautiful white dress was very conspicuous, and he was holding a ball of black clothes in his arms, which was Jingmo.
Qiu Xin has been able to get through the second line of Ren Du, and he has good sense, but he didn't realize when Jingmo arrived in the house, so he settled down and said, "Didn't you go to catch the exam? Why did you become an oil thief again today?"
"Qiu Gongzi's words are serious, the Taoist priest of Jingwuguan is pedantic, the lamp oil is so delicious, but it is going to be burned, but I can't take some to taste, what is stealing?"
"You'd better send back what you fetched, and if you leave here, I'll treat it as if I haven't seen you. Qiu Xin checked that there was no movement around and closed the door.
Jing Mo looked up and smiled, "I was lucky enough to get something, how can I say that I will send it back, and I won't be caught by these stinky Taoist priests, I think Qiu Gongzi is so kind......"
"You, now hurry up and take your things, if not, I'll call someone." Qiu Xin originally thought that Jingmo would be haunted by him, but he didn't expect him to get up directly when he heard this, pushed the door and left, and said loudly, "The old love in the past, let's talk about it another day, and the master will leave." ”
Jingmo didn't change his clothes, he ran down the mountain in white, the direction was the three songs and nine shadows in the Taoist temple, Qiu Xin wanted to call him down, but it was far away, if he shouted him loudly, his whereabouts would definitely be exposed, and he could only watch him leave.
As soon as he thought of this, Qiu Xin felt in his heart, Jingmo stole something, and he actually hoped that he would not be arrested, and after laughing in his heart, he returned to the house.
Not long after Jingmo left, the shouting in the mountain gradually subsided, and I don't know if Jingmo was arrested or went down the mountain smoothly.
At the end of the night, there was still a slight cold on the mountain, and last night's episode disturbed Qiu Xin a little upset, and in the second half of the night, he didn't close his eyes and came to the door of the house early.
Not long after, Qing Wei came here again, followed by five Taoist priests, and among them, Jingmo was tied up with five flowers, and he was looking at Qiu Xin with a smile.
Qiu Xin's heart sank, and secretly screamed that it was not good, and sure enough, these people came straight to the door of the house, Qing Wei didn't say a word, and said angrily, "Senior Brother Taishan, did you steal lamp oil with this person?"
"Under the surname Yin Ming Qiuxin, he is not a senior brother of Taishan, he stayed in the house last night and never left half a step, how could he do such a shameless act as stealing lamp oil?"
Saying that, Qiu Xin glanced at Jingmo twice, Jingmo was still smiling, without the slightest anger, Qingwei heard this, "Since Senior Brother Yin didn't steal lamp oil, how can this oil thief know you." ”
"Little Taoist, you have to be justified in what you say, when did I steal the lamp oil, but you tied up Xiaosheng indiscriminately, I was wronged. ”
The rope in the hands of the five Taoist priests who pulled Jingmo tightened, and the rope wrapped around Jingmo's body moved at the same time, and suddenly Jingmo's face turned red, and he couldn't speak anymore.
"Senior brothers, don't worry, Jing Gongzi is indeed my friend, only because he was in a hurry yesterday, he will come to find it at night, and he can't think of the wrong time, so he will be mistaken for an oil thief. ”
The rope in the hands of the five people was only loosened, Qing Wei frowned when he heard this, and said, "Senior Brother Yin has never said that any friends will go up the mountain with you, and since they are friends, they should inform us, so I'm afraid it's hard to believe." ”
Qiu Xin's face sank, and several Taoist priests who were pulling Jingmo had white faces, they seemed to be in their twenties, and they actually faintly listened to Qingwei's words, which now seems to be not unreasonable.
When I saw Qing Wei yesterday, I only thought that he was very competitive and competitive, but now that I think about it, if he is an ordinary disciple, how can he casually activate such a big array as Sanqu Jiuyu.
At this time, the words were also very old-fashioned, and in one sentence, a figure unconsciously appeared in Qiu Xin's mind, and he shivered.
"I neglected to oversee this matter and didn't tell you in time, just because I was in a hurry to go up the mountain, it was for ......" Qing Wei raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "Senior brother, don't listen to the rhetoric of the villain, excuse others, senior brother's residence, no matter what, you have to search it." ”
Qiu Xin was slightly angry in his heart, but Qing Wei seemed to think that Jingmo was a thief who stole the lamp oil, and it would be counterproductive to continue talking about it, now he wants to search the house, let him search, anyway, the lamp oil is not in the house.
But Jingmo heard Qingwei say that he wanted to search the house, the expression on his face did not change, but his eyes were a little abnormal, Qiu Xin saw it in his eyes, and his heart was shocked, since Jingmo was arrested, if he could find lamp oil on him, he would naturally be able to confirm that he was an oil thief, and at this time he was only tied up, but not disposed of, which can only mean that the lamp oil has not been found.
Coupled with the different color in Jingmo's eyes, Qiu Xin was eight points sure that the lamp oil was hidden in the house by Jingmo, and if Qing Wei found the lamp oil from his residence, he would not be able to get rid of it anyway.
While thinking about countermeasures, Qiu Xin turned sideways to get out of the way, only to see Qingwei glaring at Jingmo, and was about to step inside, but was stopped.
"Senior Brother Qingwei, wait, Senior Brother Yin is a distinguished guest, you can't search the house at will, it's really disrespectful, and you can't lose face because of it. "The person who spoke was Qingmin.
Qing Wei turned his head and bowed, "Senior brother is clear, right and wrong junior brother is rude, but these two people speak very suspiciously, if you don't search the house, I'm afraid it will be difficult to change Senior Brother Yin's innocence, and there is no disrespect to Shangzong." ”
Qiu Xin was not waiting in front of the house in the morning, but Qing Min, for the sake of the three-element mirror and Xiaobai, Qiu Xin went up the mountain, and this matter was governed by Qing Min, and he went up the mountain by himself, Qing Min would definitely find it.
Qing Wei brought Jingmo here to ask about the guilt, which was unexpected, this is Qing Min and said, "Senior Brother Yin is a decent person, it won't be those little ones, junior brother rest assured." ”
"Daoist Qingwei, I really didn't steal lamp oil in Xia, and I said that I was in such a hurry to go up the mountain to discuss the matter of the three-yuan mirror with Senior Brother Qingmin, so I failed to inform Jingmo in time, please forgive me. ”
Hearing this, Qing Wei looked at Qing Min with three points of suspicion, and Qing Min nodded, "I came here because Senior Uncle Xuangang wanted to see Senior Brother Yin. ”
Qing Wei snorted coldly and said, "Let him go." The five disciples looked at each other, and one of them said, "This person is sneaky, you can't just let him go so easily." ”
"I said let him go, didn't you hear?" Qing Wei's face was pale at this time, angry and anxious, yesterday he was inexplicably broken by Qiu Xin, and he was already unconvinced, and today there is Qing Min to help him break the siege, even if he is only twelve or thirteen years old, he can't help it at this time.
As soon as the rope in the hands of the five disciples was loosened, the rope on Jingmo's body was loosened and fell to the ground, Jingmo rubbed his arm and said to Qiu Xin, "Young Master Qiu, I said that Jingwuguan is not as fun as Mount Tai, not only was he tied up, but he also lost the face of the Hidden Sect, let's go back." ”
Qiu Xin glared at Jing Mo fiercely when he heard this, Jing Mo deliberately said this to Qing Wei, firstly, to prove that he did know Qiu Xin, and had a great relationship, and secondly, it was also to ridicule Jingwu Guan for not being as good as the Hidden Sect.
Qing Wei picked up the rope on the ground when he heard this, Jing Mo quickly ran behind Qiu Xin and hid, without any indifference, only to see the rope in Qing Wei's hand suddenly exert force, bypassing Qiu Xin and winding towards Jing Mo.
Hunting in the strong wind on the rope, looking at Jingmo's appearance, he has suffered from Qingwei's loss, so he is so afraid, this whip must be uncomfortable when he is drawn on his body.
Qiu Xin pushed Jingmo back with his right hand, took a step back, and happened to stand where Jingmo was standing, and the rope instantly wrapped around him.
Then with a shake of his left arm, he grabbed the rope in his hand, and was about to pull it back, but Qiu Xin didn't expect that Qing Wei's strength was greater than he imagined.
After 90 days of tempering in the ruins, his external strength is already very strong, and his internal strength is not weak, but Qingwei is only twelve or thirteen years old, and he can't move at all under his own pull.
Seeing this, Qing Min said slowly, "Since the lamp oil has been stolen, the junior brother should strictly investigate it in the temple." "Qing Min has long wanted to compete with Qiu Xin, how could he give up this good opportunity at this time.
"If it weren't for this person making trouble last night, how could he have lost the opportunity to catch the thief in vain, and now I'm afraid he has already escaped, how can he catch it. As he spoke, Qing Wei grabbed the rope with his other hand, and his robe was drummed.
Qiu Xin's heart softened, Qing Wei guessed well, Jingmo stole the lamp oil, he is now shielding him, and it is impossible to admit it, but the strength in his hand cannot be left behind.
As soon as Qing Wei exerted his strength, Qiu Xin still did it with one hand, and unconsciously used the power of a tiger, the rope broke in response, Qing Wei was caught off guard and took half a step back, but Qiu Xin stood firmly in place and made a judgment.
At this time, Qing Wei wanted to pick up another rope, but Qing Min stepped forward and whispered something in his ear, so Qing Wei left in a huff, and the remaining five disciples followed.
