Chapter 211 Bizarre unfolding
The maid led Tang Yue to the other side of the hill, where there was a small lake. This place is away from everyone. If the monks don't use the technique of leaving the body, they really can't hear what they have to say.
The maid looked around, as if to see if anyone was following. Tang Yue said directly: "No need to look, no one is following, there are just the two of us here."
The maid's face turned a little pale. , she didn’t know what Tang Yue meant, so she could only bite the bullet and continue, stumbling and saying, "Miss Tang, do you know that my lady has an engagement with Master Ji Shao Palace?"
"I heard other people chatting. "When I said it." She had already forgotten who she heard it from.
The maid felt a little unhappy. Is this just a chat after dinner? "Since you know, please keep your distance from Palace Master Ji. He is a man with an engagement."
Tang Yue looked at the maid who was taller than him, "Do you think these words are harmful to me? Is it appropriate for the child to say?”
“You are a monk who is very talented, so naturally you cannot compare with an ordinary eleven-year-old child.”
Faced with this compliment, she really didn’t know. Is it better to be happy or rebuke? He said helplessly: "I haven't met Senior Brother Ji as often as I have met with the Academy Master. Most of the exchanges are about schoolwork and official business. I really don't know how to keep a distance." . ”
“But Young Palace Master Ji has only met you as a female cultivator so many times, and I don’t know what happened between you and him in the secret realm. Young Palace Master has always avoided talking about it.”
"Anyway, I'm just a child, still studying in school. Now all I can think about is the year-end assessment. My relationship with Senior Brother Ji is just an ordinary fellow practitioner. I don't want to say more about anything else. It's none of my business whether you believe it or not. "The matter in the secret realm is related to Ji Chongguang's privacy, and she cannot mention it.
If she keeps talking nonsense here, she will not accompany her anymore. It is better to go back to eat, "If there is nothing else, I will go back."
The little maid saw that she was leaving and was anxious. "I knew you wouldn't agree."
She turned around and jumped into the lake, shouting, "Help, Miss Tang is going to kill someone."
Standing on the shore Tang Yue was speechless. Is this her plan? As I said just now, there is a hill across here, so the voices of the two of them cannot be heard, and the other monks are not bored enough to use their souls to spy on them. Wasn't her cry for help in vain?
At this moment, something unexpected happened. Half of its body was exposed on the surface of the water. It looked like a big strange fish. It swallowed half of the little maid in one mouthful, and then pulled her and sank to the bottom of the water. , no one in the lake had time to scream.
The accident happened too fast and was a bit outrageous. Tang Yue was stunned for a moment, then he quickly jumped to the water and used his spiritual power to drag out the strange fish that had not swum far away, and pulled it to the shore.
Senior Brother Ji stood behind her and wondered: "How can there be such a big fish in this small lake?" He attacked the belly of the fish, causing the fish to spit out the maidservant, who was already divided into two sections.
The strange fish is unusual. It has sharp teeth. When it took the first bite and dragged the person into the water, it had already broken. The second bite swallowed the upper body.
This matter was too bizarre, Tang Yue hurriedly said to Senior Brother Ji: "I did not do this."
Ji Chongguang took a deep look at her and said, "I was watching from behind just now. It was indeed the little maid who jumped in by herself."
Tang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and finally the suspicion was not on him, otherwise The next day word will spread that she is a Nascent Soul cultivator, embarrassing a mortal maid.
It was only then that she realized that although the little maid's plan was very crude, it could really hurt her reputation, and it was not a useless effort.
Others also came, probably because they hadn’t returned for a long time. They came to take a look. Dongfang Xue saw the maid’s body on the ground and said sadly: “Yan’er, how did you become like this.”
Ji Chongguang explained to them what happened here. Everyone looked at the big strange fish still flopping on the ground, which was more than ten meters long. They felt it was very strange. This lake is very small, how could such a big strange fish be born? Woolen cloth?
Tang Yue remembered that he had learned a kind of divination, which could measure cause and effect and see who was responsible for the matter.
She took out a piece of white paper, folded it into a small piece, put it in the palm of her hand, recited the mantra silently, and prayed to the gods to show cause and effect.
After a while, her palms became slightly warm, which was a sign of successful divination. When she opened the paper, she saw that it turned out to be the character Luo.
Murong Hai was proficient in divination and knew what she was doing, and asked: "What does Luo mean? I looked with my third eye and I only saw that this matter was related to your enemy. I couldn't see any words." Shang Fanling looked bad when she heard this: "Is it the Luo family?"
Tang Yue also guessed the Luo family, "I'm not sure, but what happened is so strange. I didn't suffer any harm myself."
Murong Hai pondered for a moment, "We can't be careless about this matter. , you still have to ask your family to check it, and ask my master to check it for you. Come back with me later." Ruan Ying asked curiously: "Who are you taking your cousin to? "
Duan Yitang also looked at Murong Hai curiously. She had asked her father this question. Elder Duan didn't even know the origin of Murong Hai's sect.
Murong Hai opened his folding fan again, "I will tell you when the time is right."
Ruan Ying curled her lips, "Oh, you are trying to be mysterious."
Tang Yue sighed, "I'm sorry, everyone. After such a tragedy, the banquet can no longer go on." Now that a life has been lost, they can no longer continue the banquet.
Dongfang Xue went back first with the body of his maid. The maid had served her for several years, and she had some feelings. She really couldn't bear to see her body in such miserable condition, so she wanted to go back and find a way to sew it up and bury it.
Tu Wenzhou comforted: "It doesn't matter, the food you made is so good, we must pack it back and enjoy it. Let's get together next time we have a chance."
"Yes, hurry up Let's go investigate with Brother Murong. I'll bring this strange fish back, which can be regarded as a gain." Xu Tianwen has been watching the big strange fish for a long time. He has never seen such a creature, and it is worth taking it back to study.
They went back to pack. Tang Yue felt very sorry for his little sisters. Because they were busy with schoolwork, they hadn't gotten together with Duan Yitang and Ruan Ying for a long time. They finally went out to play together today. The first half was interrupted by her awkward interpersonal relationships. In the second half, there was another incident of strange fish hurting people. They definitely didn't have all the fun.
She suggested: "Let's get together tomorrow at Sister Duan's place on Tianwai Peak. There are just a few of us. I made a lot of gadgets and brought them to you."
Sister Duan is very happy. Happy, "Okay, my father hasn't seen you for a long time. He said he missed you the day before yesterday."
Ruan Ying and Shang Fanling both agreed. They also felt that today's banquet was a pity. It’s a great addition.
As a result, Tang Yue felt less guilty and started to help everyone pack. Except for Dongfang Xue, everyone picked their favorite food and drinks. Even Senior Brother Ji also took a lot. The food has basically been distributed.
When he went back, Tang Yue wanted to go to Jiuxing Palace and went with Murong Hai. After flying with his sword for a while, he found that Senior Brother Ji had followed him and explained: "I know Junior Brother Murong's sect and go there often. Jiuxing Palace is asking for hexagrams. I need to confirm whether this matter was done by evil cultivators."
Murong Hai thought for a while, "It is indeed the duty of Shangqing Palace to investigate the traces of evil cultivators. He has the right to ask about such things. You should go with us."
Tang Yue nodded. None of the disciples of Jiuxing Palace had any objections, and she would not raise any objections.
Ji Chongguang flew to her side, "The Luo family is an aristocratic family in Kunwu City, how can they have a grudge against you?"
Tang Yue raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the young master of Shangqing Palace was against everyone. She was very familiar with the power distribution in the city, and she actually knew the Luo family. She talked about what happened with the Luo family in a subtle way, mainly talking about the matter involving Guan Huiyue, and did not say that she asked the fox fairy in the sky to take revenge. She only speculated that Brother Luo encountered misfortune.
But Ji Chongguang had already guessed that it was Tang Yue who made Senior Brother Luo look like that, but he felt that Tang Yue did nothing wrong. The eldest son of the Luo family was bullying others and murdering people behind their backs. He deserved this end of himself. Can't blame others.
