Chapter Twenty-Eight: Planting
Wang Yicheng walked around the hut and found several suspicious places, but there was no mechanism to store things. One of the paintings on the wall is particularly suspicious. This is a portrait of an ordinary ancestor of the Southern Heaven School, in which a person steps on a flying sword and flies in the clouds. This painting is very ordinary, and many disciples in the mountain gate have such portraits pasted in their dormitories.
However, Elder He's portrait is also a little too shabby, and the location is not appropriate. Wang Yicheng looked carefully, there are many fingerprint traces on the portrait, a portrait will not be often turned over, this portrait must have a problem. However, when Wang Yicheng opened the portrait, there was a hard stone wall behind it, without any mechanism.
Just when Wang Yicheng wanted to take a closer look, suddenly there was a slight footstep in the hall.
Wang Yicheng was taken aback, how could Elder He come back so soon. Now when he walked out of the house, he could only meet with Elder He, and he couldn't explain why he sneaked into her house, and the fate that awaited him could only be twisted to the Hall of Discipline for trial.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Wang Yicheng's forehead was sweating slightly. However, he had experienced many such dangerous moments in his previous life, and although he was in a hurry, he did not panic. He scanned the room, which was very simple, and there was almost no hiding place. Only there is a gap of more than ten centimeters under the bed.
Wang Yicheng took a deep breath, and there was a soft sound of bones all over his body, and then the whole person seemed to have no bones, soft, and shrank slightly, and entered under the big bed.
The footsteps really came towards the house, and when the footsteps entered the room, Wang Yicheng held his breath, gathered the breath of his whole body, and remained motionless. He didn't know if he could deceive Elder Jiedan's divine mind check if he could deceive Elder Jiedan's divine thoughts, but he was just a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
The sound of footsteps slowly walked to the bed, Wang Yicheng felt that his heart was about to rise to his throat, and a blade slipped silently into the palm of his hand. This low-grade magic weapon is simply ridiculous to the elders of the upper knot stage. However, Wang Yicheng will definitely not be caught.
Suddenly, Wang Yicheng's heart skipped a big beat, because he saw the feet beside the bed. This person was definitely not Elder He, because the old bast shoes he was wearing on his feet were very dirty. And Elder He was wearing black and white cloth shoes, which were very clean and tidy. Wang Yicheng cares very much about these details and will never be mistaken.
Who is this man, and what are you doing in the elder's house?
Wang Yicheng soon knew the answer, and the man gently opened Elder He's cabinet, took out something, and wrapped it in an oilcloth.
This is a thief, just like himself. Wang Yicheng felt a little funny. This is a thief who can only steal chickens and dogs.
The man placed something wrapped in oilcloth into a bamboo basket beside him.
Seeing this bamboo basket, Wang Yicheng's pupils contracted suddenly, he was too familiar with this bamboo basket, this was clearly the bamboo basket he used. He made a mark on his bamboo basket, and he couldn't be wrong.
This person put the stolen things in his bamboo basket, obviously trying to set up a blame, and in an instant Wang Yicheng already knew who this person was, Ma Xu was tall and the soles of his feet were bigger. The size of these feet is normal, it is Ding Xing'an, it must be him.
After a while, Ding Xingan walked out on tiptoe. Wang Yicheng got out from under the bed. His face changed, Ding Xing'an must have been assigned by Elder He to deal with him, and now that he had discovered it, he had several ways to expose him. However, Wang Yicheng suddenly thought that maybe he could take advantage of Ding Xing'an.
Wang Yicheng took out a small box and opened it gently, and there was some gray powder inside, which was ordinary fragrant ash. Wang Yicheng's best skill in his agent career is not killing people, nor fiddling with high-tech weapons, but using some ordinary things around him to complete incredible tasks, which can be regarded as an agent's talent!
These incense ashes were used by Wang Yicheng to find the clues of the earth spirit fruit. I saw that he was in the house, in a few places where he suspected that there was a mechanism, gently blowing incense ashes, attaching fine incense ash particles to it, and if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't find it at all.
After finishing it, Wang Yicheng returned from the original way and erased the traces of his entry, leaving only the traces of Ding Xing'an's entry. Looking at the traces left by Ding Xing'an, Wang Yicheng only shook his head, it was too unprofessional.
Wang Yicheng returned to the medicine garden, as if he was fine, and continued to work. After a while, a sword light slowly fell, and it was Elder He who came back. Elder He returned directly to the main hall.
After a moment, Elder He walked out of the main hall again, his face was gloomy, his brows were tightly furrowed, and there seemed to be a spark in his eyes, obviously very angry.
"You all come here!" Elder He said in a deep voice.
The ten disciples quickly put down the tools in their hands and stood in a row in front of Elder He. Seeing Elder He's expression, everyone hurriedly lowered their heads, their hearts beating suddenly, not knowing why Elder He was angry. However, with the experience of Gao Wengui, it is better to talk less.
"Someone sneaked into my alchemy hall just now and stole some of my things. Elder He said slowly.
Everyone secretly took a breath of cool air, who is so bold?
"Let me ask you, who left when you were working just now?" said Elder He.
Everyone looked at each other, and when they were working just now, almost everyone took the opportunity to be lazy and left.
"Hmph, don't you say it?" Elder He's eyebrows gradually erected.
Suddenly, Ding Xing'an stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Elder, just now I saw Wang Yicheng secretly leaving for a while, and all the senior brothers saw it!
Everyone is submissive, everyone has left, and it's not good to just talk about others.
"Really?" Elder He's sharp gaze shot into Wang Yicheng's face.
Wang Yicheng lowered his eyelids, bowed down and bowed, "I just went for convenience, and I haven't entered the elder's hall." ”
"You are talking nonsense" Ding Xingan suddenly jumped in front of Wang Yicheng, pointed at Wang Yicheng's face and said: "You have been away for a long time, and when you came back, I saw you sneakily put something in the bamboo basket." ”
Wang Yicheng raised his head, sneered slightly on his face, and said slowly: "Brother Ding really saw it. ”
"Do you dare to have someone inspect your bamboo basket? Ding Xingan threatened.
Wang Yicheng didn't speak, just sneered.
Elder He glanced at the palace guards, and one of the guards picked up Wang Yicheng's bamboo basket and threw it on the ground with all his might, and there was a loud noise, and the mess was scattered all over the ground. An oilcloth package is impressively in it.
"Hah, what do you see this?" Ding Xing'an was excited, and without waiting for the guard disciples to make a move, he rushed forward, picked up the oilcloth package and handed it to Elder He.
Elder He slowly opened it, "Huh!" Everyone showed a look of surprise, and the most frightened of them was Ding Xing'an. Because there was not any stolen goods in the package, but some broken and withered herbs.
"What are you collecting these things for?" Elder He asked in surprise.
"I'm learning how to grow medicinal herbs, and I'm taking these withered herbs back to study why they die. ”
"Well, you're quite diligent!" Elder He gave a rare compliment to his disciple.
"That'...... What about something?" Ding Xing'an opened his mouth wide, and he couldn't come back to his senses.
"What is it?" Could it be that Senior Brother Ding has seen what Elder He lost?" Wang Yicheng asked rhetorically.
"I didn't ...... Yes!" Ding Xing'an felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but panic.
Elder He glanced at everyone and said, "You pour out all the bamboo baskets and let me check them." ”
Everyone poured their baskets to the ground as they were told.
"What's that?" asked a guard disciple, pointing to a flower cloth package that Ding Xing'an had poured out of the bamboo basket.
"I ...... I don't know. Ding Xingan was so shocked that he could barely speak.
He hurriedly picked up the package and opened it, and several things fell from his hands to the ground, and everyone looked sideways, all of them were some daily necessities.
"Bold!" Elder He snapped.
Ding Xingan knelt on the ground with a puff and began to kowtow non-stop, "Spare your life! Elder spare your life!"
Elder He swept through these items, only to see that there was actually a piece of his own underwear among them, he couldn't help but be ashamed and annoyed, his eyes became stern, and he said slowly: "What's the use of leaving you this dog's life?"
"Elder spare my life, someone instructed me to do it, is it ......" Ding Xingan didn't finish speaking, and suddenly let out a miserable scream. Everyone was shocked, only to see Ma Xu pull out his long sword and stab Ding Xing'an in the back.
"You ......" Ding Xingan pointed at Ma Xu, with a look of disbelief on his face, and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Hmph, are you going to kill people quickly?" Elder He looked at Ma Xu coldly.
Ma Xu immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said, "We were all sent by Elder Peng, but this person did such a shitty thing and smeared Elder Peng, I couldn't help but make a heavier move." ”
Elder He snorted coldly and didn't say anything again, Ma Xu mentioned Elder Peng twice, and she couldn't help but give Elder Peng this face.
"Collect the corpse! Wang Yicheng, come with me. Elder He turned around and walked into the main hall, and his voice floated out from afar.
Wang Yicheng followed Elder He into the main hall in an orderly manner, and bowed down in front of Elder He, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon.
"Well, you're good, loyal, honest, and diligent. And very self-motivated. ”
Hearing Elder He's praise, Wang Yicheng laughed in his heart, wondering what Elder He would have done if he knew that he was a thief?
"You will assist me in refining pills in this hall from tomorrow, and you don't have to work in the medicine garden anymore," Elder He arranged.
Wang Yicheng was surprised and delighted, if this was the case, wouldn't it be more convenient to steal the earth spirit fruit by himself.
After thanking him, Wang Yicheng added, "Elder, take a closer look at your things, I'm afraid that he has some accomplices who have stolen your things, and you don't know yet!"
After Wang Yicheng left, Elder He remembered this, nodded slightly, walked to his bedroom, stared at the painting for a while, and slowly stretched out his hand......
