I stared blankly at the old Taoist priest who suddenly appeared in front of me, his anger suddenly turned into countless grievances, let the old Taoist grab my hand and blinked his eyes so hard that the tears did not flow out, and biting desperately. Lips, I'm afraid I would cry as soon as I opened my mouth.
Hurrying to lower my head, I sullenly shouted: "Master, they don't believe me. But I really didn't kill him. He was killed by giant rats. Those rats have to eat me. I just escaped with great strength, Master, you believe me!"
"Master knows that Master's eyes are not blind, and Master believes in you." Seeing that I didn't try to attack the reporters, the old Taoist immediately released my wrist and patted me on the shoulder to express comfort.
These words were undoubtedly hitting the reporters in the face, and they immediately shouted one or two:
"Old man, what basis do you have for saying that? This person calls you Master, are you in the same group?"
"Is it interesting to come out as a caretaker when I get older?"
"Are you blind? You say it again?"
I was so angry that I wanted to punch them with my fists, but the old Taoist priest seemed to have not heard these provocations. He pressed my shoulder with one hand, turned his head and looked around, and shouted: "Who is the principal here? Who asked me as a disciple to help? Please stand up, I have something to say."
With a loud howl, it instantly suppressed the messy voice of the reporters in front of him, and the scene suddenly fell silent.
"Father, I, I am the regional manager of this area, and Mr. Hou I specially invited. I invited these reporters to take the opportunity to publicize the results of the competition and the truth of the matter. I didn't expect things to become like this." From behind the crowd, someone squeezed in, it was Manager Guo.
It's just that Manager Guo's complexion was pale this time, and he covered his eyes with one hand, not allowing himself to look at the corpse on the ground, and looked at the old Taoist tremblingly.
"These people were also invited by you? I don't know exactly what happened, but I've heard a little bit of the dispute just now." At this point, the old Taoist paused and drew me in front of him." But my disciple did not kill anyone. I can guarantee that."
Hearing this, I was a little moved. Just as he was about to speak, Manager Guo spoke again: "How do you know that this person was not killed by him?"
"You are blind, and I am blind." The old Taoist rolled his eyes and pointed at the corpse on the ground: "The scar on that corpse was caused by the bite of a rodent, plus the black scattered on the corpse. The hair is obviously the work of the animals, and the special smell of the sewer mixed on the carcass. Can no one of you smell it?"
"Then, maybe those mice are all driven by him?" Some people still refused to believe, retorted.
The old Taoist immediately snorted and stared: "Joke, things have happened for some time before Manager Guo found my disciple. If this person hadn't come to my disciple, my disciple would not intervene at all. Isn't it a professional point to throw away the black pot?"
Manager Guo was choked immediately. He wanted to see but didn't dare to see. The reporters also shrank their necks, staring at each other without saying a word, not knowing what they were thinking.
"If you don't believe it, you can call the police and the police will come
An autopsy can also prove my disciple's innocence. "The old Taoist spread his hands, looking righteous and fearless.
Manager Guo still persuaded, and waved his hand: "Don't worry about it, don't worry about it, Mr. Hou, can you tell what happened afterwards? Have you found the source? What happened to the rats?"
Once I opened my mouth, it was a three-linked article. With the help of the old Taoist priest, I finally got the right to speak. I licked my lower lip, and I pointed my finger at the sewer under the slope: "I have found the source, it's in the sewer. Here, I advise you to call the police as soon as possible, because there is still a corpse inside, which has decomposed. The corpse seems to be poisonous. Those rats became so big because they ate the corpse.
"What! There is still a decayed corpse in the sewer?" Not only was Manager Guo surprised when he brushed it, the reporters all around raised their heads, looking at me with bright eyes, looking very excited.
I nodded, stretched out my hand and gestured: "Well, after the start of the competition, I followed a few mice to touch this place. When I saw the mice eating the corpse, this man suddenly came out from the other end of the sewer, he thought I went to detect the carrion, so the rats attacked him, and I tried to rescue him, but the rats also attacked me. Don’t you know that the black masses are all giant rats bigger than cats. They are very fierce. It was so frightening that I took a lot of effort to escape."
"Then this corpse..." Hearing this, Manager Guo interrupted me and pointed to the corpse on the ground next to him, and stopped talking.
I learned from the old Taoist priest, and said, "No way, how can this person say it is my colleague, so I took advantage of the daybreak, then sneaked back to see the situation, and then dragged the body out. , I originally wanted to call the police and let him go into the soil for peace, but when you came, a big gang of gangsters was buckled on my head!"
"It turned out to be like this, so it's all a misunderstanding, haha!" Manager Guo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and smiled awkwardly.
I was too lazy to pay attention to this guy, and raised my chin to the group of reporters: "That's how it is, you believe it or not, even if it is called the police, the truth will prove my innocence."
After speaking, I dragged the old Taoist priest: "Master, let's go!"
"Okay, let's go!" The old Taoist nodded with a face, and followed me around and left.
I don’t know what happened afterwards. In short, this incident was not completely reported. It may have been suppressed by Manager Guo, or it may have been controlled by the government. Anyway, I have not seen any reports in this regard on the Internet. .
However, after I returned to the mountain, two plainclothes policemen came to question me. I still used that rhetoric to perfuse the past. The truth of the matter is like this. I just concealed some key things, such as the mustache man and me. Fighting and the female ghost in red, but the giant mouse or something, I believe it should not be difficult to find proof with the ability of the police.
There are no years in the mountains, and the days go by like running water.
Under the training of the veteran Taoist, I was able to complete the tasks he gave me proficiently and quickly, but even so, I still felt that it was not enough, and I ran to meditate in the bamboo forest when I had extra time.
"You kid don't sit there in a daze, your heart can't calm down at all, you should continue to pick two buckets of spring water!" I
Not long after sitting down, the old Taoist stepped out from the woods beside him and rolled his eyes.
As soon as the old Taoist priest pierced the truth, I simply gave up a serious look, straightened my back quickly, and sighed: "Master, I feel that I have worked so hard, but it is still useless!"
"Really?" The old Taoist fished out his ears and sat down beside me.
"Look, I have been cultivating for so long, and my xinxing still cannot be firm. Every time I encounter a critical situation, as long as the red ghost is a little bit like, I will involuntarily agree to make a deal with her." I thought. Next, I still said the distress in my heart, and my heart was full of chagrin.
The old Taoist's tickling movement suddenly stopped, and he turned to look at me: "You made a deal with that female ghost again? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Just last time, and she hasn't proposed what kind of remuneration she wants, so I hesitate to tell you." Looking at the old Taoist's unkind eyes, I couldn't help but shrink my neck.
"Huh! I think your kid forgot about this, right?" The old Taoist gave me an angry glance.
I smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly changed the subject: "That's it, Master, do you have any other way to solve the ghost in red? It's not possible. I really cut off my fingers and take off the ring?"
"Naughty! What if it's useless? Your hands are scrapped!" The old Taoist frowned, gave me a fierce look, and fell into thought again.
After a while, the sun gradually began to shift to the west. The old Taoist patted his forehead as if he had thought of something. A way to prepare something."
It's not the first time that I have seen the appearance of the old Taoist suddenly convulsing. He calmly got up, and slowly returned to the small courtyard with his hands on his back and began to work.
After working for more than an hour, I finished the meal and ran to the room to find the old Taoist priest. I just saw him sitting among a bunch of bottles and jars, playing with this and looking at that enthusiastically.
"Master, it's time to eat. Let's put it down first, otherwise the food will not taste good when it is cold." Looking at the bottles and cans, there was a glimmer of expectation in my heart, but I still pulled the old Taoist out for dinner.
I have always eaten very fast, and I have solved two bowls of rice by three times, five times and two. The old Taoist also slowly put down the dishes and waved at me: "Don’t rush to clean up the dishes and come to the living room. , Give it a try."
"Okay, Master." Controlling the excitement in my heart, I followed the old Taoist back to the living room and helped the old Taoist move all those things out, and the table was full.
Once people have expectations, they are more likely to be disappointed. This sentence is really appropriate to describe my current mood.
All the methods were tried, but the spirit ring seemed to have taken root on my finger, and it didn't move.
The old Taoist's two eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and for a while, he suddenly said, "There is another way, that is, the danger is higher."
"What's the solution? Master, don't hesitate, let's talk about it first!" I saw the old Taoist priest with a hesitant look on his face, and immediately urged.
"Fake death." The old Taoist poked the spirit ring in my hand, "I once saw this method in an ancient book, it can temporarily cut off your vitality."
