Seeing the seriousness of the situation, the fat man became very nervous, "Except for some trivial matters, I didn't say anything."
"Did they ask you what I brought with me?" Nanfeng reminded. It was no secret that he knew the Taixuan Scripture, but the Taiqing Sect and others did not know about the Turtle Shell Heavenly Book.
"No," the fat man shook his head repeatedly, "I only said a few words to Senior Sister Jueqing when we were weeding yesterday, and she didn't mention you either."
"What did she tell you?" Nanfeng asked.
"Before, I had been asking her to intercede with the master and teach me some skills. That's what she was talking about yesterday." The fat man turned around and looked back. At this time, the fire had already started, but it was daytime and the fire was not very conspicuous. The weather is dry and there is no smoke.
"Tell me your conversation yesterday in detail, and don't omit anything." Nanfeng left the road and returned southward along the edge of the woods.
While the fat man was walking, he recalled yesterday's conversation. Nanfeng listened carefully and thought about it secretly.
The Taoist nun who pretended to be a heartless nun told the fat man yesterday that the master had been impressed by his sincerity and wanted to teach him martial arts. However, before teaching him the martial arts, he had to make sure that the fat man did not know his martial arts. The fat man swore that he had never learned his martial arts, and he also I don’t know the Qi training methods of other sects.
That was all the conversation was about, and the Turtle Shell Heavenly Book was not mentioned. In fact, Fatty didn't know that he had the Turtle Shell Heavenly Book. Even if the other party wanted to ask, he couldn't find out anything. This shows that this matter has nothing to do with the Turtle Shell Heavenly Book.
Fatty didn't know the inside story, so he didn't think there was anything unusual about yesterday's conversation. However, he was the person involved, so he naturally knew the other party's intentions. The other party was making sure that he had not told Fatty the Taixuan Zhenjing, and that the Fatty would not know Taixuan Zhenjing, so he Deliberately killing people and silencing them.
The mysterious man who secretly protected him realized that the other party wanted to attack him, so he struck first and killed all three of them. The Taoist nun's clothes were also deliberately opened by the man in order to tell him that these three people were not nuns. , but Taiqing Taoist.
The fat man had been staying at the nunnery. During this period, the other party had many opportunities to talk to him. If he asked today or inquired tomorrow, he might have already figured out his origins, and judged from the fat man's mouth that he had read the Taixuan Sutra. Telling others is a bluff, so I have the intention to suppress it. What I did yesterday was just a final confirmation.
Seeing the fire burning more and more, the fat man kept sighing.
"Why are you sighing?" Nanfeng asked.
The fat man didn't answer, but sighed again, "Alas."
Nanfeng didn't ask again. The beautiful nun he came into contact with every day died, and sadness was inevitable. But what depresses Fatty the most is that the other party doesn't really treat him, and has always been just plotting and taking advantage of him.
They didn't meet any passers-by along the way, and it didn't take long for the two of them to see a broken house in the wild fields to the south.
"Should we stay or go?" the fat man asked.
"Let me think about it." Nanfeng waved his hand. Since the other party has the intention to silence him, it will be very dangerous to stay. Thirty-six strategies are the best strategy.
But he was unwilling to leave just like that. The reason why the mysterious man who secretly protected him killed those three people was undoubtedly because he found out that those three people were going to be harmful to him.
To do this, two prerequisites are needed. First, this person heard the conversation between the fat man and the little Taoist nun yesterday. Second, this person also knows that he knows the Taixuan Scripture.
If this person didn't know that he knew the Taixuan Sutra, even if he heard the conversation between the fat man and the little Taoist nun, he wouldn't know what the other party wanted to do.
The two returned to the broken house, and the fat man continued to pack his things. Nanfeng lay on the kang, closing his eyes and thinking. He was wondering whether the person who secretly protected him was a member of the Taiqing Sect or an outsider.
There were nine people who participated in questioning him that day. Among the nine people, Tianqizi had the highest level of cultivation. However, Tianqizi had had an accident many days ago. Someone sneaked into Tianqizi's room, so the suspicion formation happened in Tianqizi. Before Dezi and others left the mountain, Tian Dezi and Tian Chengzi who left the mountain did not know that Tian Qizi had an accident, so it can be concluded that it was not one of them who broke the medicine bottle that day.
In other words, although the person who broke the medicine bottle was dormant in the Taiqing Sect, he was not a member of the Taiqing Sect.
Since this person is not from the Taiqing Sect, how can we know that he knows the Taixuan Sutra
"Should we leave or not? If we leave, we will expose the blame." The fat man asked.
Nanfeng closed his eyes and waved his hands, "Wait, don't talk."
There are only two ways for a person who does not belong to the Taiqing Sect to know that he knows the Taixuan Sutra. One is that when Tianqizi, Tiandezi and others were discussing matters, this person hid in the dark and eavesdropped on everyone's conversation. This possibility is not It's very big, because hiding in the huge Taiqing Mountain is one thing, but eavesdropping on people's discussions at close range is another thing. Tian Dezi and others are determined to guard against Tian Mingzi's party, so they will be extra careful when discussing matters. , no matter how high this person’s cultivation is, he would not dare to get too close.
There is another possibility, that is, this person already knew that he knew the Taixuan Sutra, but except for Tian Dezi and others, he never leaked this matter to anyone.
"Well, well..." The fat man was exerting his strength.
Nanfeng opened his eyes when he heard the sound and found that the fat man was exerting force in front of the stove, trying to remove the iron pot.
"Don't expose it." Nanfeng hurriedly stopped him. Even if he really wanted to leave, he couldn't carry the blame.
When the fat man heard the sound, he stopped his hand, sighed and looked around, "Finally, the house has been tidied up enough for people to live in it. After a few days, I have to leave again."
"Just sit still and don't move. I'll think about it carefully before I decide whether to stay or not," Nanfeng said.
The fat man was in a very low mood and nodded in frustration.
Nanfeng closed his eyes again and continued to consider the pros and cons of staying or leaving.
Once he leaves, Tianmingzi and his party may guess that the murder of the three Taoist nuns is related to him. Not only will his frame-up be ineffective, but it will also make Tianmingzi and others regard him as a serious problem, and then they will search for him with all their strength. , pursue them with all their strength.
If he stayed, Tianmingzi's accomplices who came to investigate might kill him along the way.
It’s not okay to leave, and it’s not okay to stay.
When he was worried, Nanfeng once again thought of Tian Yuanzi's second piece of advice. Everything has advantages and disadvantages. No matter what you do, you can do it as long as the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
After a while, Nanfeng finally made up his mind to stay!
"Don't leave, stay." Nanfeng said to the fat man.
Fatty is not as cunning and clever as Nanfeng, but he is not stupid either. He knows that Nanfeng has blamed Xiangyun Escort Bureau, so he no longer worries about the government investigation, but worries about Nanfeng's enemies, "You have offended so many people. , what if enemies come to your door?"
"Someone has been protecting me secretly. If my enemies really come to my door, this person will definitely show up to save me." Nanfeng said.
"Who is this person?" the fat man asked.
"I also want to know." Nanfeng said. He decided to stay. A large part of the reason was that he felt that the person would come to the rescue at a critical moment. If that was the case, he would be able to know who the person was and clear up his doubts. .
The fat man nodded, but then shook his head, "No, you were almost beaten to death in the inn that day, and no one rescued you."
"That's a trivial matter, not worth taking action." Nanfeng stood up and went to the ground, "Come on, cook quickly, I'm hungry."
The fat man had always followed Nanfeng's lead, and he would listen to whatever Nanfeng said. When Nanfeng said this, he unpacked the baggage he had packed, put everything back in its place, washed rice, washed vegetables, and lit a fire to cook.
When he felt sleepy in the afternoon, Nanfeng did not practice Qi, but lay down and took a nap.
It was already dusk when he woke up. The fat man was also lying on the kang, but he had not fallen asleep. When he saw Nan Feng getting up, he immediately spoke to him, "You are so relieved, I can sleep well."
Nanfeng smiled and didn't answer. The three pieces of advice left by Tian Yuanzi were golden words. If you think about them carefully beforehand, you won't have to worry about them afterwards, which saves you a lot of troubles.
Nanfeng went down to the ground to drink water, then put down the water ladle, went out and brought back some firewood, and added it to the stove.
"It's such a hot day, why are you still burning the kang?" the fat man asked in confusion.
"Don't worry about it." Nanfeng said casually.
"The pile on the right is dry, these are wet." The fat man said again.
"Just make sure it's wet and dry." Nanfeng stood up straight and waved to the fat man, "Let's go out for a walk."
The fat man was a little timid, "Where are you going?"
"Get some air." Nanfeng went out first.
The fat man hesitated and followed him out, closing the door behind him.
After going out, Nanfeng did not walk towards the main road, but towards the northeastern mountains and forests. He was now able to see at night, and he did not feel scared when entering the mountains and forests at night. However, the fat man could not see clearly, so he followed Nanfeng and kept asking questions. Why does the south wind come into the mountains and forests at night
"Climb to the top of the northeastern mountain. From there you can see the nunnery and our residence. The carrier pigeon has flown away. Someone must be coming tonight." Nanfeng said.
The fat man suddenly realized what he said and followed the south wind to climb the mountain in the dark.
It was already the second watch when they climbed to the top of the mountain. They found a sheltered place from the top of the mountain and sat down. At this time, the nunnery had been burned into ruins, and green smoke was floating out of the chimney of the dilapidated house where they lived. , people who don’t know the inside story will mistakenly think that someone is lighting a fire in the room.
The fat man had worked hard all day and was very sleepy. After sitting down, he yawned continuously.
"You go to sleep, I'll keep an eye on you." Nanfeng said.
"Okay." The fat man nodded. On the way up the mountain, he already knew that Nanfeng had made some progress in Qi training and could already see at night.
Nanfeng carefully observed the situation at the foot of the mountain, and at the same time thought about the Three Purities Dharma Conference held by Taiqing Sect. At this time, the Three Purities Dharma Conference must have ended, and the winner had been selected and conferred Taixuan. This is a rule. A rare shortcut, but although he longed for it, he was unable to fight for it.
As time went by, the temperature gradually dropped, and the south wind couldn't bear the cold, so I sat cross-legged and meditated to practice Qi to keep out the cold.
No one came at midnight.
There was no one at the fourth watch.
As the fifth watch approaches, a purple aura appears ten miles away in the south...
