Chapter 44: A Trap, a Trap Again
The next day was a rare day off for so many days, Tan Yang wanted to sleep lazily, but Wang Zhengyan happened to call all the disciples to class again.
Since the vast majority of the disciples began to cultivate at the third level of the Body Refining Realm, Wang Zhengyan had come to class less often. Even in class, it was a simple matter of learning about the progress of everyone's cultivation, and then answering a few questions, and then the class was hurriedly dismissed.
It's the same today, so it didn't take half an hour for Wang Zhengyan to announce the end of class.
As is customary, it is time again for a disciple to be called to "tutor alone." In the more than half a year since he came to Hulu Valley, five or six disciples such as Yao Fatzi have been brutally attacked by Wang Zhengyan, a well-dressed beast, maybe this kind of thing is too difficult to talk about, maybe they have been ravaged and threatened at the same time, in short, all the victimized disciples have chosen to swallow their anger, and no one dares to openly resist.
Every time like this, Tan Yang is uneasy in his heart, although it is estimated that because of Guan Yuzhou's wall to block the wind, Wang Zhengyan is unlikely to attack himself, but he still has a sense of crisis.
"Senior nephew Tan, your cultivation doesn't seem to be going well recently! β
He was really afraid of something, Tan Yang almost couldn't believe his ears, a catastrophe was coming!
"No, no!" Tan Yang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mine Chief, many junior brothers need counseling more than me, so let's give this opportunity to others!"
"Senior Brother Tan, don't be ignorant. Zhang Sihai reprimanded, "What a great honor it is to be personally tutored by Uncle Shi, you don't have to shirk this time, get out of class! β
"What should I do?" Shen Mazi on the side knew the inside story very well, and whispered to Tan Yang anxiously.
"You go first!" Tan Yang knew that he was in danger of escaping at this time, but he couldn't think of any way for a while, so he could only improvise, and whispered at the moment, "Mazi, if I have three long and two short, remember what I entrusted you that day." β
Shen Mazi was extremely smart, but he couldn't think about it now, so he had to shake Tan Yang's hand heavily and leave worriedly.
Tan Yang was in a state of confusion, and followed Wang and Zhang out of the scripture hall.
As soon as he walked out of the door, Tan Yang suddenly had an idea in his heart, and said: "Mine manager, please wait for me, it seems that I can't help Master Wang cook at noon, I'll go and say hello to him." β
Wang Zhengyan didn't stop it, but just quietly gave Zhang Sihai a look, Zhang Sihai understood, followed Tan Yang, and walked into the dining room next to him.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the old Wang Tou was concentrating on washing rice and vegetables.
Tan Yang's heart was up and down, but he still tried his best to say in a calm tone: "Master Wang, I can't help you cook at noon, and the mine manager called me to go to counseling alone." β
"It's okay, you can just go! study hard!" said the old king without raising his head or opening his eyes.
Tan Yang only felt a layer of cold sweat on his back, he expected the old king to save his life, but he didn't expect him to be so indifferent, and the last straw was gone!
It's really in response to the old saying, the mountains can fall, and everyone can run!
Tan Yang was almost completely desperate, he had always treated Lao Wangtou as a master instead of a master in his heart, and even Lao Wangtou's behavior of privately sending Xiao Ji to steal his essence and blood was forgiven for many reasons. never expected that at the critical moment of life and death, the old king would ignore it.
At this time, Tan Yang's ears echoed the words that the old Wang Tou had said many times, "The two of us don't have a master-apprentice relationship, it's just a transaction." "It turns out that there really exists an emotionless relationship between people in this world, which is called trading.
"Okay, hello too. Zhang Sihai pushed Tan Yang and urged, "Let's go!"
Tan Yang squatted on the ground, covered his stomach and groaned: "Hey, what's going on?" Maybe I'm happy for a while, but my stomach suddenly hurts, senior brother, can I trouble you to tell the mine manager, can we counsel another day?"
"Don't come to this set!" Although Zhang Sihai is not smart, he is not a fool either, "Senior Brother Tan, I advise you to go with me obediently! If you force me to be rude, no one will look good on their faces, so why bother?"
*
Along the way, the three of them were silent, and Tan Yang turned countless ways in his mind, but he vetoed them one by one, and he deeply felt a sense of powerlessness.
In fact, it is not too far from the compound where Tan Yang lives to Wang Zhengyan's residence, but Tan Yang can't wait for this road to be extended indefinitely, and every step he takes now is on the verge of life and death, and it may be the last footprint he left in this world.
Imagine the ugly scene that is about to happen next, Tan Yang can't help but shudder, others may be able to endure humiliation and steal their lives, but there is no possibility for himself!
Even if you die, you can't let this old bastard touch a finger of yourself!
Tan Yang made up his mind, his hesitant heart calmed down a little, life and death have been put aside, what else is there to fear?
followed the two into Wang Zhengyan's residence, Tan Yang couldn't help but be stunned, there was already someone waiting in the living room, it was Liu Yiqi, the deputy mine manager who was forced by Guan Yuzhou to cut off his tongue.
As the deputy mine manager, Liu Yiqi is mainly responsible for the mining work in the Hulugu mining area, so he rarely deals with Tan Yang's new disciples on weekdays. Out of politeness, Tan Yang gave him a salute and said a simple hello.
Wang Zhengyan and the three of them sat down separately, but let Tan Yang stand alone.
"Senior Nephew Tan, I called you over today, not for cultivation, but for something else to ask you. Wang Zhengyan said with a pleasant face, "Deputy Mine Chief Liu has just returned from the sect and brought back the latest news and the sect master's decree, Senior Brother Liu, let's talk about it!"
Tan Yang had already mentioned his throat and eyes, and suddenly fell back, it seemed that he had misunderstood, no matter what they wanted to ask next, it was much better than "individual counseling".
"Yes, then I'll say it. Although Liu Yiqi's tongue has been picked up by Sect Master Wang, it is not as good as his original tongue, and when he speaks, it is like an egg in his mouth, and Ulu Ulu is indistinct, "Tan Yang, let me ask you, how did Li Yuncong die?
Liu Yiqi's words were not loud, but Tan Yang sounded as if there was a thunderbolt ringing in his ears.
"I've already said it several times, Senior Brother Li was bitten by a rice shovel. Tan Yang looked aggrieved, but he was playing drums in his heart, did something go wrong?" "The head of the rice shovel and Senior Brother Zhang have also seen it with their own eyes, don't you believe me?"
"Tan Yang, you still dare to deny it until now!" Zhang Sihai shouted angrily on the side, "We don't have ironclad evidence, we won't come to you." β
"Yes, Senior Nephew Tan. Wang Zhengyan's face sank and said, "After I brought Li Yuncong back to the sect, the sect master attached great importance to this matter, and summoned several elders in the sect to come forward together, and the real cause of his injury has been investigated. Uncle Shi, I will give you a chance, as long as you confess yourself, I can guarantee that you will be dealt with lightly, otherwise you will only be handed over to the sect's chief elder to deal with it impartially. β
A trace of cold sweat broke out on Tan Yang's forehead, nervously recalling the details of what happened that day in his mind, what was the mistake in that link?
"Mine Chief, wronged!" Tan Yang said, "I really don't understand what you're talking about, Senior Brother Li's injury has nothing to do with me, but I saved him......"
"Shut up! Dare to quibble!" Liu Yiqi interrupted, "Tan Yang, it seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin! Don't think that Li Yuncong's inability to speak means that there is no proof of death, I tell you the truth, the latest news I brought back from the sect this time is that Li Yuncong has been cured by the sect master and elders......"
"Senior Brother Liu, stop talking about it!" Wang Zhengyan interrupted in time, "I said it, give Tan Yang a chance, if he confesses honestly, he can be dealt with as a voluntary surrender, at least a small life can be saved." β
Tan Yang was young after all, and he was already a bit of a thief, so his words almost completely crushed his psychological defense. It's over! It turns out that the fatal omission is here! I and the old Wang Tou believe in Xiao Ji's ability too much, why didn't I think that someone would be able to solve Xiao Ji's poison?
In just a few breaths, Tan Yang was already sweating, and since Li Yuncong had woken up, he couldn't deny it even if he had flowers growing on his tongue!
It seems that he can only let it out, anyway, even if he takes the initiative to admit it, it is estimated that he will not be able to escape death, and he will not be able to live, so it is better for him to die and not admit it!
"Haha......" Tan Yang clapped his hands and laughed loudly.
This trick is his usual trick, when he wants to lie before or when the lie is really unbearable, he will often use this killer trick, one is to laugh at the other party first, and the other is to buy himself a little time to think. After so many years of training, Tan Yang has already practiced the timing, Cheng dΓΉ, skills and heat grasp of laughter.
Sure enough, Wang Zhengyan, Zhang Sihai and Liu Yiqi did not disappoint Tan Yang, and all three of them were stunned by Tan Yang's laughter.
After a while, the three of them looked at me and I looked at you inexplicably, and glanced at each other, Zhang Sihai frowned and said: "Tan Yang, you are really not simple, you can still laugh when you are dying, what are you laughing at?"
After Tan Yang laughed, most people would wonder at this time, and then be curious, and they would definitely ask the question, "What are you laughing at?" If no one asks, it's like saying that the cross talk is not praised, and it is not easy to continue.
Now, Zhang Sihai's praise appeared in time.
"I'm so happy, so I'm smiling!"
"Oh, what do you have to be happy about?" Zhang Sihai doesn't like to talk much on weekdays, but today, under the inducement of curiosity, he is quite qualified.
Tan Yang said nonsense: "Senior Brother Li will not die in a catastrophe, how can I not be happy? By the way, he should also thank me for saving my life!"
...... Senior Brother Li will not die!
Suddenly, this sentence was like a strong hurricane, blowing away the fog that Tan Yang was full of, and the clouds were clear.
No, there is a trap in front of you, a big pit that has been carefully dug up!
If Li Yuncong had been cured, then the truth would have been revealed to the world, and Wang Zhengyan and Zhang Sihai would have directly arrested themselves and tortured them severely, and they would definitely not waste their tongues here like now.
Moreover, Li Yuncong had already suspected Lao Wangtou at that time, and the first person they should have caught should not be himself, but Lao Wangtou, and Lao Wangtou is still washing rice and vegetables safely!
And the most critical point, if Li Yuncong has been cured, just bring him directly to confront him, why bother so much?
Trap, trap, what a sinister trap!
