Master is unreliable

Lei Kai was shocked and angry when the room was struck by lightning.

Wei Ping, Qi He, and Lin Suran were all alarmed by the movement on Eagle Weeping Peak.

Wei Ping glanced at the ruins in front of him, then at the moon hanging high in the sky, frowned and said, "Sunshine and thunder..."

Lei Kai gritted his teeth and said: "It must be man-made! Check it out for me, and I must find that person!"

Duan Li had already run away, while Chu Lan huddled with the children to watch the excitement.Suddenly seeing Qi He waving at him, Chu Lan walked over.

Qi He knelt down and touched his shoulder, and said, "Lan'er, are you still used to living here?"

Chu Lan nodded, and Qi He said again: "Then what have you learned from Uncle Lei these few days?"

Chu Lan said, "I've learned a lot." As she spoke, she recited a few sentences from "Liuyun Xindian".

While Qi He nodded in relief, he also breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, "Learn from your Master Lei Master, and Master Lei will teach you in person in half a year."

Chu Lan said: "Master, don't worry, I will work hard." After a pause, she still couldn't help asking: "Master, what does my master do every day?"

Qi He smiled: "Qi'er left Tianzhaomen when he was young, Master didn't teach him many things, and now he is making up for him."

Chu Lan nodded, said a few more words to Qi He, and stepped aside.

Lei Kai tossed all night, but found no suspicious traces. In the end, he could only attribute this incident to a natural disaster.After all, abnormal weather happens from time to time.

The next morning, Chu Lan still didn't go to the school grounds, and he didn't stay in the room, but went to the place where he met Duan Li at night.

He chose to come here because the place is clean, but he didn't expect to find a piece of white clothes hanging from the big tree beside him.

Chu Lan paused, but still walked forward, and saw Duan Li sleeping against a tree with a book on his lap.

Chu Lan couldn't help but slow down her steps, for fear of disturbing him, suddenly seeing Duan Li move, the book slid down his clothes and landed at Chu Lan's feet.

There was not much movement, but Duan Li still woke up. When he lowered his head, he happened to see Chu Lan standing in front of him, so he groaned and closed his eyes again.

Chu Lan said softly: "Master, why are you here?" Shouldn't he be learning new things with Qi He?

Seeing that Duan Li should not respond, Chu Lan said again: "Master, have you... skipped class?"

Only then did Duan Li react. He opened his eyes and said, "There's nothing to learn, just take a look."

His fingers flicked in front of him, but he couldn't find the book on his lap. He looked down and said, "Pass me that book."

Chu Lan responded, bent down to pick it up, and saw a red seal on the paper, with the words "Ming Guangzong" written on it.

Chu Lan's hand paused, and when she picked up the book, she accidentally saw Liu Chengqi's name.His pupils narrowed slightly, he stood up and said, "Master, what is this?"

Duan Li said: "I borrowed the file to look at the case six years ago."

Chu Lan lowered her head again, and cast her eyes on the file in her hand.

Duan Li glanced at his whitish fingertips, and said, "If you're interested, you can take a look."

Chu Lan naturally wanted to read it, so he agreed, and stood there to read the entire file. He read it very seriously, almost reading it word for word.

Especially Liu Chengqi's confession, he read it several times.

According to Liu Chengqi, that day happened to be the day when the disciples of Tianzhaomen rested, and many people went down the mountain to play.Instead of going down the mountain, he found a secluded place to practice.

At night, he faintly sensed an ominous aura coming from a lone peak, so he went to check it out.

When he arrived, he saw a blood-stained long sword stuck in the ground, and he took the sword in his hand to check.

Just at this time, there was a sound in the forest, he walked over, and under the moonlight, he saw a person standing on the peak with a devilish aura on his body.

Not only that, but there were also two bloody Tianzhaomen disciples lying on the ground.Liu Chengqi stepped forward to check the situation of the two people, and found that one of them was still alive.

The man grabbed his sleeve with bloody hands and wanted to say something to him, but in the end he could only make a few "ho ho" sounds from his throat, and then there was no sound.

Before Liu Chengqi stood up, he heard an exclamation from behind. It turned out that a disciple who came here saw the scene on the peak, screamed in fright, threw the lantern on the ground, turned around and used his sword just run.

Later, the head of Tianzhaomen and Wei Ping noticed the arrival of the demon, the demon escaped, and Liu Chengqi was captured.

Although Liu Chengqi said that he went to check the situation when he sensed something was wrong, but this was just his own words, and no one could testify for him.

On the contrary, there are all human and physical evidences about his murder of his fellow disciples and his collusion with the demons.

——The blood-stained long sword, and the surviving disciple who was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart.

In addition, Liu Chengqi has always been a loner, has few friends in the door, and does not hang out with other people on rest days, many people are already curious about his whereabouts.Now that something like this happened, everyone couldn't help beating their hearts.

This matter involved the demons, and the case was handed over to Ming Guangzong.

Ming Guangzong has not let down his vigilance these years, and has been paying attention to whether there are demons hiding in the human world. After hearing about this incident, he attached great importance to it and immediately ordered people to investigate.

After interrogating the relevant personnel, they searched Liu Chengqi's room for some evil weapons and kung fu classics of the demon clan.At this point in the matter, there is nothing to say, and the case can be finalized.

Chu Lan frowned, and looked at the witness's testimony again.

The name of the witness was Ding Yi. He said that he had made an appointment with a few seniors to practice swords on the isolated peak that day. He was delayed by something, so he went later. Unexpectedly, when he arrived, he saw the scene of Liu Chengqi killing someone with a sword. .

Chu Lan closed the file and heard Duan Li say: "No accident, people from Mingguangzong will come to Tianzhaomen in two days, you..."

Chu Lan raised his head. He knew that Duan Li must have read this file long ago. The reason why he brought it here was to show him.

Chu Lan calmed down her confused mood, and said, "Master, if they investigate, should they start with the witness first? Is it this man named Ding Yi?"

Duan Li shook his head, Chu Lan had an ominous premonition, and she heard Duan Li say, "I checked, and Ding Yi died five years ago."

Chu Lan was taken aback: "Why?"

Duan Li flipped his palm, and another book appeared in his hand.

Chu Lan took a look and found that it was the "Tianzhaomen Chronicle" that he had borrowed from Qi He.

Duan Li said: "Although it is a casual book compiled by a boring person, it can also provide some information. You turn it back, and I folded it."

Chu Lan nodded, turned to the page Duan Li said, and saw Ding Yi's matter written on it.

According to the book, Ding Yi was a witness in Liu Chengqi's case. He was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe, but later he went astray because of his practice, so he got a wrong idea, stole the elixir that boosted his cultivation, and exploded to death.

Duan Li waited for a while, then asked: "Done? What did you think of?"

Chu Lan was silent for a moment, then said, "Kill people to silence you."

Duan Li nodded approvingly, Chu Lan's heart moved, and she raised her head and said, "Master, this man named Ding Yi, did he leave anything behind? Where are his relics?" Since someone wants to kill Ding Yi to silence him, he is very May know something.

Duan Li glanced at Chu Lan and said with a smile: "You and I thought of a place, but it's a pity that his belongings were handed over to his family after his death. After so many years, no one knows Where did his family move to?"

Chu Lan fell silent again, there was a huge crowd, where can I find Ding Yi's family?

Seeing that he was disappointed, Duan Li said: "Don't think too much, I will leave this matter to Ming Guangzong, you can practice with peace of mind."

Chu Lan nodded, and he returned the dossier and the "Tianzhaomen Chronicle" to Duan Li.

After thinking for a while, he still said: "Master, I don't understand. Just like Bi Lingxianjun said, the human world has not seen the figure of the demons for many years before that, and those demons suddenly appeared. Could it be that the Mingguang sect came from here?" Have you ever doubted their origins? They really think that those demons are just remnants left in the human world thousands of years ago."

Duan Li said: "They naturally suspected it, but there was no definite evidence at that time. Moreover, with the cultivation base of the teacher at that time, they were not able to 'release' those demons. Even if they doubted, this article also said No way."

Chu Lan couldn't help being startled, he couldn't help but think about what happened in the conference hall that day.No wonder Bi Ling Xianjun let him go so easily, they had thought of this a long time ago.

If you say that, the person who slandered the master must have a very high level of cultivation?

Are you from Tianzhaomen?Who will it be?

With a flick of Duan Li's fingers on the books, the two books disappeared. He said, "Not long after that incident, more demons appeared in the eyes of the world. Ming Guangzong arrested some demons for interrogation, It was discovered that they really came to the human world from the demon world, not the demon race left over from thousands of years ago."

Speaking of this, he snorted and said, "From this point of view, the ability of the people in Xianmen is not too bad."

After a pause, Duan Li continued with the words just now: "It's just that they came to the human world through some method, but the captured demons were killed without saying anything."

Chu Lan tried her best to keep up with Duan Li's train of thought, "So, Ming Guangzong thinks that master... thinks that you only got in touch with those demons after they came to the human world?"

Duan Li hummed: "This is also the reason why Ming Guangzong spared my life."

Chu Lan nodded half-understood, Duan Li jumped down from the tree, said: "Let's not talk about this, come, let me see how you have learned in the past few days."

Chu Lan exhaled, suppressed her complicated thoughts, turned around and followed Duan Li's footsteps: "Yes, Master."

**

The next day, Ming Guangzong sent people to Tianzhaomen as Duan Li said.

But it didn't make much noise, they just asked some people to ask questions, and then left.

Chu Lan knew that Liu Chengqi's case had been going on for so many years, and the witness was dead, so it was not that simple to investigate.All he can do now is wait patiently.

Of course, while waiting, he has to practice hard, he can't embarrass the two masters.

In a blink of an eye, more than 20 days have passed.

On this day, Lei Kai gave the children a holiday and let them rest for a day.

Many children went to the market together, and asked the old man to write letters home for them and send them back.Chu Lan returned to Qingxiu Peak.

Qi He had already received the news and was waiting for him on the peak.

Chu Lan glanced left and right, but didn't find Duan Li's figure, and said, "Master, why didn't you see Master?"

Qi He said: "Didn't your Uncle Lin visit you a few days ago? She came back and told us that you have lost a lot of weight, maybe the food at Eagle Weeping Peak is not to your liking. No, I heard that you are coming back today, Qi Son, he went to the woodshed to cook for you."

"Master, what did you say?" Chu Lan thought she had misheard, "Where are you saying, Master?"

Qi He stroked his beard and smiled happily: "Chai Fang. Speaking of which, I haven't eaten a meal cooked by Qi'er himself. Today is considered to be in your honor, and I can taste it..."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw thick smoke billowing from one direction on the peak.

Qi He paused, squinted his eyes and looked around, wondering, "That seems to be the direction of the firewood house... Hey, Lan'er, where are you going?"

When she saw the thick smoke, Chu Lan ran over there, and when she got to the place, she saw that it was indeed Qingxiu Peak's woodshed.

There was no fire in the woodshed, just puffs of smoke wafting from the windows and the open door.There was a strange burnt aroma in the air, which was a bit bitter.

The periphery of the firewood room was full of disciples watching the excitement. Chu Lan searched around but did not see Duan Li, so she grabbed someone and said, "Where is my master?"

The man caught by him pointed to the firewood room: "You mean big brother? He's still inside."

Chu Lan's complexion changed, and she rushed in directly. As soon as she entered, she was choked by the thick smoke and sneezed, and tears flowed out.

He squinted his eyes and saw the person standing in front of the stove. He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the person's sleeve, pulling him out.

When she breathed the fresh air outside, Chu Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He wiped his face, and when he turned his head, he saw that Duan Li's fair cheeks were rubbed with pot dust, in patches here and there, like a cat with a painted face.There were also many stains on the white school uniform.

Chu Lan sighed softly in her heart, pulled Duan Li to sit aside, fetched water again, and wiped his face.

Chu Lan said: "Master, what are you doing in the house? You don't know how to run with such a big smoke, don't you feel choked?"

Duan Li half closed his eyes and raised his head slightly to facilitate Chu Lan's movements. Instead of answering Chu Lan's question, he said: "After so many years, there are things that a teacher can't learn. It's really strange. I saw them do it." It's pretty simple."

Chu Lan: "..."

Duan Li continued: "It's okay, it's still early, try again as a teacher later."

Chu Lan wrung the towel and said, "Master, you don't need to learn this. I'll make you whatever you want to eat."

Duan Li opened his eyes in surprise: "You know how to cook?"

Chu Lan nodded, Duan Li thought about it, and said, "Then I want to drink fish head soup, steamed crabs, crystal shrimp, almond tofu, sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root, and..."

Duan Li reported the names of a series of dishes, Chu Lan nodded after listening, and said, "Okay, let's have fish head soup at noon, and I will steam a crab and stir-fry a few side dishes. I will learn the others slowly, and I will try them next time." Make it for Master to eat."

Duan Li patted Chu Lan's head in satisfaction: "That's very good."

Chu Lan felt a little funny. It seemed that Duan Li didn't have much obsession with cooking, maybe it was just a whim.

But that's enough.Chu Lan thought, if he was willing to step into the woodshed for him, then he would also be willing to cook for Master for the rest of his life.

**

The thick smoke in the house quickly dissipated.

Chu Lan was short, so he moved a small bench for his feet, threw the charred black items in the pot, which could barely be recognized as fish, into the garbage bin, and then washed the pot.

He fished out a live fish from the water tank on the side, scraped off the fish scales with his hands and feet, and opened the intestines, and the fish was quickly processed.

Duan Li stood at the door and looked into the house, obviously very interested in Chu Lan's ability to cook.Chu Lan stopped what she was doing, walked over to move a bench for Duan Li to sit on, and then walked back.

He cut the fish head from the middle, tore off the black film on the fish maw, cleaned it, then poured oil into the pan, and fried it slowly over a low heat. When the two sides of the fish head were golden brown, he added water and slowly Boil it, and beat two more pieces of tofu into it.

While the fish head was cooking, he placed the crabs on the steamer and began to prepare the stir-fry and side dishes.

Chu Lan's hands and feet were quick and skillful, and soon he made a plate of stir-fried lotus root, spicy fried clams, braised prawns in oil, and fried the remaining half of the fish tail.

When the time is up, take out the fish head soup, boil it into a milky white fish soup, serve it with white and tender tofu, and add a handful of green onion, which will make people move their index fingers.

When the cook came to cook, she smelled the aroma, she couldn't help but leaned over to take a look, and said with a smile: "Oh, this cooking skill has caught up with me. Little fairy, can you give me a taste?"

Chu Lan smiled shyly, "Of course."

The prepared meals were quickly put on the table. Looking at the rich dishes on the table, Qi He couldn't help but praise Chu Lan. Even Lin Suran came to have a meal when he heard that Chu Lan was cooking. .

And those disciples who were watching outside the kitchen, who were more courageous, also came to the table and drank the warm fish soup.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was joyous, with constant laughter.

Ever since Ming Guangzong began to re-investigate Liu Chengqi's case, Chu Lan's heart has been tense, which is why he has lost weight so quickly during these days.

But today, all the anxiety and uneasiness disappeared in the laughter and the aroma of food.

Chu Lan poured another bowl of fish soup for Duan Li, seeing his contented smile, he also laughed.

In the following days, Chu Lan lived a busy and fulfilling life.

In a blink of an eye, five months have passed, and the competition among the new disciples is about to begin.
