Master is unreliable

Hearing Ding Yi's name, the room suddenly fell silent, and everyone had surprised expressions on their faces.

Chu Lan couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed Ding Sheng's shoulders, staring into his eyes eagerly and said, "What are you talking about? You are Ding Yi's younger brother? Is your brother, is he..."

Chu Lan felt her heart pounding. Over the years, not only Ming Guangzong had been investigating Ding Yi, but he had actually tried to find out in private, but no one knew where Ding Yi's family had gone.

He had been looking forward to it and looking for it for so many years, but he never thought that he would come across it from the very beginning.

Ding Sheng hugged the dirty wooden box tightly with one hand, and pulled Chu Lan's clothes with the other. He tremblingly said, "I, my brother, died unjustly."

The secret that has been buried deep in my heart for so many years can finally be revealed. Ding Sheng couldn't control it at all, and he didn't need anyone to ask. An upright person, if you want something, you should fight for it with your own efforts, and don't have evil thoughts. My brother will never steal something for the sake of improving his cultivation. I don't believe it at all!"

Chu Lan frowned slightly, Ding Sheng met his gaze, wiped his eyes and said, "I know I was wrong for doing something like that five years ago, and I'm sorry for my brother. If he knew, he would definitely not Forgive me, but I really can't help it.

"Since my brother died, there have been a lot of gossip in the village. They said that my brother was a thief. My mother was too sad and angry, and she fell ill. In the end, my father only brought back my eldest brother’s relics. There were too many gossips in the village, so my father took us to move.”

"What happened next?" It was Duan Li who spoke, and as he asked, he stepped forward and pulled Chu Lan up who was half kneeling on the ground.

"Later..." Ding Sheng lost his mind for a while, and then continued: "Not long after we moved out of Dingjia Village, once my mother was looking through the belongings of the elder brother—my mother was reluctant to part with the elder brother, so the things left by the elder brother She didn't lose any of it."

When Ding Sheng said this, he touched the wooden box in his arms lightly with his fingers, "My mother found a layer in the sleeve of my elder brother's old robe. The clothes were sewn by my mother herself, and she didn't add the layer. Strangely, it was taken apart."

Qi He said: "What did you find?"

Ding Sheng said: "There is an incomplete piece of cloth in the interlayer. I don't know what is written on it. It is crooked, like ghostly drawn symbols. I can't understand it."

Hearing this, Wei Ran on the side suddenly raised his head and looked over, his face was pale and fierce, like a ghost.

Ding Sheng was still immersed in his own thoughts, and didn't feel anything strange. He said: "My mother went to the street to inquire about it quietly, and happened to meet a casual cultivator passing by. The casual cultivator said that it looked like a formation, but only so I’m not sure what formation it is at all, I just feel that this formation is a bit fierce, maybe it’s not a good thing.”

Wei Ping and Qi He looked at each other, and they both saw the solemn look in each other's eyes.

Ding Sheng continued: "At that time, we thought that the death of the eldest brother might be related to this thing. He must have discovered something, so he was killed and silenced."

Wei Ping pondered for a moment, then said, "Did you bring that piece of cloth?"

"Bring it."

Ding Sheng said as he opened the dirty wooden box, "After discovering the things in the mezzanine, I told my parents, let's go to Zhaomen to clean up the crimes of the eldest brother. But they said that the man could kill him silently Brother, it's easy to kill us. They don't want me to be in danger, but they can't bear to let big brother bear the stigma all the time, so they want to send me away.

"I don't want to. My parents are getting older, and their health has become worse in the past two years. I don't want them to take risks, so I stole my eldest brother's things while they were asleep."

Hearing this, Chu Lan understood that Ding Sheng was wandering outside with his eldest brother's relics, but he had no choice but to go to Tianzhaomen—even if he did, he didn't know who killed Ding Yi, and he didn't dare to reveal his identity rashly .

Just when Wei Ran went down the mountain to recruit new disciples, Ding Sheng's mind came alive.He originally planned to join Tianzhaomen and become a disciple of Tianzhaomen, so that he could personally investigate the cause of his elder brother's death.

It's a pity that he doesn't have the qualifications to cultivate immortals.But God gave him another chance - as long as he pays enough money, he can worship Tianzhaomen.

Given such an opportunity, Ding Sheng would naturally hold on to it, so he started the business of abduction.

Thinking of this, Chu Lan felt a little depressed. It was not wrong for Ding Sheng to want to find out the cause of his elder brother's death. Unfortunately, he went to extremes and turned himself into his elder brother, even the one he hated the most. people.

I don't know whether to say he is hateful or more pitiful.

Ding Sheng took out the piece of cloth and handed it to Qi He. He said, "I don't know if there are other clues hidden in the belongings of the eldest brother, so I brought them here. Two elders, take a look. "

Qi He nodded.

Chu Lan's eyes fell on Qi He's hand. The piece of cloth was only the size of a child's palm, and there were some messy symbols on it. The color was bright red, and it seemed to be painted with blood.

Just looking at it like this made Chu Lan feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Qi He pinched the piece of cloth and said, "It looks like the corners were shattered by a powerful force."

Wei Ping said: "Maybe you can see what kind of formation this is?"

Qi He frowned, and shook his head after a while: "I've never seen this battle before, it may take a while to check."

As he said, he handed the cloth back to Ding Sheng who was staring at him eagerly, "Don't worry, we will investigate this matter thoroughly. I want to prepare some books, you can go down with Lan'er to rest first."

Ding Sheng carefully put away the piece of cloth, thanked him a thousand times, and followed Chu Lan out.

On the way to Qingxiu Peak, Chu Lan looked at Duan Li who was walking ahead, and felt a little puzzled in her heart. The master of the magic circle should recognize it, right?Why doesn't he speak?

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard an exclamation from behind him, turned his head, and saw Wei Ran almost collided with a disciple.

Looking at Wei Ran's distracted look, and at Duan Li who was walking leisurely, Chu Lan vaguely noticed something.

After returning to Qingxiu Peak, Duan Li went back to his room to catch up on sleep.Chu Lan prepared clean clothes and a room for Ding Sheng to let him have a good rest.

Time passed quickly, and it was dark in a blink of an eye.

There has been no news from Qi He. After dinner, Chu Lan went to the bookstore to borrow a few books related to formations, and planned to read them at night.

He vaguely felt that the piece of cloth was related to his master Liu Chengqi.He desperately wanted to know who had killed the master.

Just as he was engrossed in watching, the candle on the table suddenly went out, and the room was plunged into darkness.

Chu Lan thought that the wind blowing through the window blew out the candle, so she didn't think much about it.He stood up and wanted to light the candle again, but at this moment, he noticed a person standing behind him.

The man came quietly, and even stretched out a hand to press on his shoulder. Chu Lan was startled, and slapped her backhand.

But he didn't want the man to react quickly and grabbed his wrist.

Just when Chu Lan was about to struggle, he saw a flame light up in front of his eyes. He squinted his eyes uncomfortably, and heard a smiling voice in front of him: "Is it fun?"

Chu Lan's tense muscles relaxed instantly, and he said, "Master, you..."

Duan Li put the candlestick in his hand on the table, flipped through the books on the table, and said, "What to do with these, it's a waste of time. Let's go, I'll take you to have some fun for the teacher."

Chu Lan wasn't in the mood to have fun, but when he found out that Duan Li was walking in the direction of Ding Sheng's house, he instantly regained his energy.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that nothing might happen tonight.This is Qingxiu Peak.

Chu Lan couldn't help but said, "Master."

Duan Li put a finger between his lips, and said in a low voice: "Apprentice, you are good in every way, but you are too kind. This is not like me at all. I will teach you a lesson tonight as a teacher." , let you see how vicious a person can be, and how stupid he can be. Let's go."

Since the master had spoken, the apprentice naturally didn't dare to say no, so he nodded and followed obediently.

Duan Li, Chu Lan and his apprentice knocked on the door of Ding Sheng's room. It happened that Ding Sheng was nervous and did not fall asleep.After they chatted for a while, Duan Li left with Chu Lan.

Not long after Chu Lan and his apprentice left, the candle in Ding Sheng's room went out.After a while, a black figure flashed into Ding Sheng's bedroom in the dark.

The man in black quietly touched the bed, and looked at the person lying on the bed sideways facing the wall with the faint light, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

A cold light flashed in his hand, and the long sword slashed directly at the neck of the person on the bed.

The expected blood light did not come, only a sharp "clang" was heard, it was the sound of sharp weapons colliding, the man in black was shocked, and the person on the bed was not Ding Sheng.

He hurriedly drew back, and at this moment, he heard a loud "bang", and the half-covered door was kicked open from the outside.

Duan Li stood outside the door with a smile, and said to the black clothes, "Yo, good evening."
