Deputy head

[-]

"Why can't you tell a fortune?"

While asking questions, I stood on the guest's hanging leaf and picked up the compass that I hadn't seen for a long time.

The Celestial Master stared blankly at all this, and after a while he said, "Don't you ask me where this compass came from?"

"How else did it come about, Master Tianshi?" I touched the compass, which hadn't seen any signs of deterioration, and smiled, "Look at this, you have maintained it very well these years, and ordinary people stole it. You won’t hide it so preciously behind the compass.”

"Give it back to me..." Tianshi stretched out his hand, his eyes fixed on the compass.

I put the compass in my arms: "This was originally given to me, but now you give it back to me."

Seeing that what he said was useless, Tianshi immediately rushed to grab it, but he was already trembling and his movements were unstable, and Liu Sizhang behind him would not sit idly by, so Tianshi was controlled by Liu Sizhang within three moves.

"That's mine...give it back to me!"

"It's not yours." I calmly watched him lose his composure, "otherwise why would you hide it?"

"No... no! That should be mine!"

Even though Heavenly Master Liu Sizhang was still struggling in vain, his usual leisurely look disappeared completely, replaced by mania and rage. Even though he knew he couldn't touch the compass, he still stretched out his hand to me, as if grasping the compass in the air. What's normal, the blue veins are bulging, and the muscles and bones are stiff.

I continued to stimulate him with words: "It's just a movement that was stolen by you, and it should never belong to you."

"Steal? Aha... But didn't you steal it too?"

After saying these words, Tianshi suddenly regained his reason. He panted heavily and looked at me. There was some kind of strong emotion in his eyes, which was the paranoia I was very familiar with.So far, I have seen this look countless times, the loyal minister who raised me, the old person who escorted me to escape, Rong Chengxun who avenged my father, Hua Qizheng who lost everything, and many, many people, they all There was such an attitude.

With such an attitude, Tianshi said word by word: "You have stolen the whole seven years, but you are still living well."

"Then why can't I? They're all the same people...why can't I?"

Tianshi straightened up slowly, showing a weird smile.

"You have always been the person I yearn for, and now, it's finally like you..."

"I have called Wangxi here. I have everything I need. I finally have such a smooth and smooth life. What is there to be dissatisfied with? I'm too greedy..."

"You are too greedy!"

As he said that, he suddenly withdrew his hand, pulled out something from his bosom, and the next moment he raised his hand to release the thing, and it took me only a moment to lose consciousness.

When I woke up again, I saw the familiar tent top.

There is no doubt that this is an inn, and it is the room where Fukui and I have been staying.I hurriedly sat up and looked around. There was a figure outside the door. Seeing him standing motionless in front of the door, he should have been sent to guard me. There was no one in the room, and all the luggage had been taken away. , The furnishings in the room did not change much, I got up quietly holding my breath, walked to the door to listen to the movement outside, there were not too many footsteps, and the doorkeeper was breathing heavily, obviously not an expert in martial arts.

If there is only one person guarding the gate, I can just rush out like this, but since the celestial master can safely and boldly lock me here and only send one person to guard the gate, he must not be worried that I will escape or cause a commotion, that is, Said that he has a certain certainty—either he has found my weakness, or he is very relieved about it.

Because of the sudden death incidents one after another, people are panic-stricken. Regardless of whether they believe in ghosts or gods, they all respect the celestial master. If I hadn't seen how the real celestial master cast spells, I am afraid I would treat the celestial master differently. In fact, except for me In addition, everyone respects Tianshi very much, and some people even respect him as a god. Yes, Tianshi has become the god of Qingzhu Town. The sudden death incident has finally stopped recently, and people attribute it to Because of Tianshi's technique, he even kneels three times and knocks nine times in front of the door of Tianshi's room every morning.

If the Heavenly Master believes that I am the source of the disaster, these people will definitely believe it.

It turned out to be like this, presumably outside the door are the newly recruited congregants of the Celestial Master, if this is the case, I might not be able to escape.I can’t get out through the door, and it’s not a good idea to go through the window. Although I can fly over the eaves and walls, there are places where I have to wade through water, and once I escape from the room, there will definitely be pursuers coming from behind. How would I run? The weather is so cold that I can’t wait to hibernate. If I fall into the water, it will only make my actions more inconvenient.

Speaking of which, before Wangxi arrived in Qingzhu Town, there were very few sudden deaths in the inn. The main location of the sudden death was moved outside the inn, but after I saw Wangxi, the sudden death stopped. This is a coincidence ?If it's not a coincidence, then why is it arranged this way?And, are these things the masterpieces of heavenly masters?

Wait, before I passed out, the Celestial Master said something like "I have always longed for you", and he stole the compass, and he also accurately stated the length of time I was the deputy head. Could it be that he has been there all these years? Are you quietly watching my every move? That's really... umm... I never thought that a person like me would have a stalker, and I didn't notice it at all, and my mood was really complicated.

Fortunately, he didn't mess with the previous plan, but the current situation is bad enough.It doesn't look like he wants to harm me, no, no, no, he is already harming me, otherwise why would he do all this.

But what do I have to keep track of?

Generally speaking, people who are targeted by paranoid stalkers may have certain qualities that attract stalkers. It is integrated with the back mountain of the Bronze Sect, and it is difficult for people outside the Bronze Sect to even see me. How did he follow me?Could Tianshi be a random stalker, just follow me casually for seven or eight years, that's quite casual.

Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered that Tianshi cherishes the little compass very much. I haven't seen the compass since I woke up. I think it must have been taken away by Tianshi. Could it be that he has some kind of relationship with Huang Xiazi?The moment I saw the little compass, I had this kind of conjecture, but this idea is still suspicious. Why can't he solve the hexagram?

Huang Xiazi is a former national teacher, has no wife and no children, apart from being acquainted with people from the former dynasty, he only knows everyone in the Bronze School.The Celestial Master is not a member of the Bronze Sect, otherwise I would not fail to recognize him. In other words, the Celestial Master must be related to people from the previous dynasty, but those who have contact with Huang Blind, except for the royal family and all the ministers, are left... ... those disciples under the seat of the national teacher.

If he is really Huang Xiazi's disciple and his age is right, it can also explain why he is so obsessed with this compass.After all, the origin of this thing does have some weight. If the dynasties have not changed, then the person holding the small compass will be the next generation of national teachers.If he is really a disciple of Huang Xiazi, then I may not have seen him. The national teacher and his disciples lived outside the palace. When I saw Huang Xiazi, it was the time when the royal family was destroyed. According to Huang Xiazi , all his disciples were taken captive by the new emperor to the new national teacher.

If the new emperor left one or two fish that slipped through the net, it would be reasonable, but, as a disciple of the national teacher, how could he not know how to interpret the hexagram?Or... is there anything else that I didn't know back then?There are still many incomprehensible parts in Tianshi's words. If you don't solve those puzzle-like words one by one, you will never be able to get the truth.

If the series of events that happened in Qingzhu Town were all written by a celestial master, how did the sudden death come about?The only thing I can think of is Wuyin powder, which can indeed cause people to die suddenly without warning, but the body will not leave no traces. After death, the cause of death can be identified based on the body. Died from ingesting strange things.So these deaths should have nothing to do with Wuyin San, so what is the reason?

Oh damn, it would be great if the Immortal Doctor was here, this would not be a problem, no matter how bad it is, Rong Cheng and Ru Yun can just come here!

Apart from those dense mysteries, the most important point is that the Celestial Master said that he called Wuxi here-this sentence can contain too many meanings, maybe he used some kind of trick to lure Wangxi here. Come on, maybe he knew Wuxi before, maybe...

Suddenly, I thought of the most impossible explanation, and suddenly my hair stood on end, and my spine felt a chill.If my assumption is true... No, this is almost delusional. If it is true, it would be ridiculous.

But when I think about it carefully, my life has always been ridiculous, and it doesn't seem like too much to add one more thing.

[-]

Just when I was full of worries, the window suddenly shook softly, obviously there was someone outside the window.The visitor had a reason to keep quiet, so he entered through the window... Could it be Liu Sizhang?I quietly sneaked to the window and opened it silently.

Sure enough, it was Liu Sizhang outside the window. I don't know how he came here. His whole body was covered with water, and his face was covered with a black cloth, but the exposed part was already red with cold. I held his arm, and he was shivering. If Ruyun sees it, I don't know how to feel distressed. I hurriedly welcomed him in, and stretched out my head before closing the window to have a look. The guards outside were all looking at the street, but no one was looking up.

Just as Liu Sizhang was about to open his mouth, I quickly stopped him, and pointed to the figure outside the door. Liu Sizhang understood, nodded, and then wrote on the table with the water on his body: [How is your lightness skill? ]

I nodded and gave a thumbs up.

For my actions, Liu Sizhang was slightly repulsed, but this time was not awkward, and he wrote with trembling hands: [Can you run away with me? ]

I shook my head and signaled him to be calm, then grabbed the corner of the pillow towel and dipped some water on his body: [It is easy to come in, but difficult to go out. You have been exposed to the cold and your movements are not flexible. Let’s talk after you warm up. ] Since the celestial master locked me here in a coma, it means that I won’t be needed for a while, and it’s okay to let Liu Sizhang warm up for a while.

[How about Wang Xi? ]

Liu Sizhang's expression was solemn: [The Heavenly Master said, if he doesn't let him go, it will be bad for you, that's why I came to rescue you. ]

Alright, this bastard celestial master, his idea is still on Wang Xi!

Before, I never thought that someone would plot against me so hard, so I didn't think about anything deeply. Now I feel more and more hateful about myself who was carefree back then, but there is no way, who would have expected it to turn out A celestial master jumped out, although the target is mainly me, but it is not just me.

In this way, some things, I probably want to understand.

Regardless of the reason, the goal of Tianshi is very clear: he wants me to be the real culprit of the sudden death.

The reason why the sudden death incident slowly disappeared from the inn was not because the perpetrator had some ulterior motives, but because he was no longer able to continue killing people in the inn. Everyone's eyes gathered on him. As long as he was present, everyone would look at him. Therefore, he cannot continue to act in a low-key manner, nor can he commit crimes quietly.

But he can't stop so simply, the number of dead is not enough, he needs more panic, so the place of death has become outside the inn.

The only person who can profit from panic and gradually attract attention as events increase is the Celestial Master.For him, killing people is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, he can use the fear of everyone to establish his own status...

You can accuse me again.

There are too many people in the inn, so it is not a good place for murder. If the celestial master just wants to gain faith and be regarded as a "god", then he should go to a remote place to kill people. After all, the less people there are, the safer it is, but sudden deaths still happen. It happened in the inn because he had a reason to let it happen in the inn - I was the second child in the inn.

To be precise, it was Wang Yi who worked as the mistress in the inn.

If homicides occurred in the inn for a long time, the resident people must have the greatest suspicion.

After Wangxi arrived in Qingzhu Town, the sudden death incident completely disappeared.In fact, the reason why the celestial master stopped was not the arrival of Wangxi, but that I became the guard of Wangxi, because I live with Wangxi day and night, and there is no time to kill, so if you want to pretend to be "Wang Yi" If he looks like he is the real murderer", the celestial master must stop, this is also part of his intention to set the blame.

When I had a conflict with the accountant elder, the Celestial Master suddenly stood up to speak for me, and this was the reason.He needs to resolve disputes. If I really fight with Wangxi, maybe people from the Wulin League will be attracted. After all, Wangxi is also the head of the Wulin League, and this trip is still for the Wulin League. At that time, Wang Xi and I will be taken away by the Wulin League for mediation.Once I leave Qingzhu Town, things are out of Tianshi's control.Tianshi seems to know me very well, so he understands that once I leave Qingzhu Town, I will be able to get rid of the crime easily in the future, so he will never let me leave Qingzhu Town.

As for why Wang Xi took this trip for the Wulin League... probably because of me.

Tianshi did not lie, he called Wang Xi, but he did not call directly, but imitated the way I used to lead Liu Sizhang down the mountain.

Back then when Rong Cheng was injured and poisoned, I needed a live salt snake, so I had to ask Ru Yun for help, and Ru Yun offered an exchange, that the salt snake could be given to me, but I had to ask Liu Sizhang to come down the mountain to see her.At that time, I had already cut off contact with the Bronze Sect and acted with my identity hidden. If I had directly asked Liu Sizhang to go down the mountain, I might have exposed my identity and plan, so I used another somewhat wicked method.

I pretended to be the late former imperial uncle, Jiufang Rong.

The effect was very obvious. For a while, rumors about the return of the soul of the uncle of the previous dynasty spread wildly. Liu Sizhang was a man of great affection. He had received kindness from the Jiufang family, and he missed Ruyun who knew about it, so he came down the mountain.

I have to admit that Tianshi is really a fanatic. Not only did he know about this, but he also upgraded and reused it.

Before, when the two hall masters and accountant elders came to the inn, only the disciples behind them were surprised by me. The three leaders were too calm, and there was some meaning of "as expected" hidden in their expressions, but I felt that I It is good to live in seclusion here, and it is impossible for the news to spread back to the Bronze Sect, that is, someone is secretly working behind the scenes.

Later, Wang Xi and Liu Sizhang also arrived here, and things became even more strange. There is absolutely no reason to send two groups of people to do the same task. To remedy this, how could it be changed in the first place, and so hastily?

The elder accountant has always been partial to listening and acting recklessly. If the celestial master is looking for an opportunity to convey the matter to the elder accountant, then this may happen.As for why he told the accountant elder first, I was afraid that the celestial master wanted to make complete preparations, and worried that Wang Xi would not come here even if he knew that I was here, so he first brought the accountant elder here. Xi should know about it, and at this time it has something to do with the Wulin League, so, out of a sense of responsibility to the sect, Wu Xi has to come and take a look.

And after the accountant elder was driven away, he was able to testify to the fact that "Wang Yi was indeed the second child in the inn". After all, not everyone knows what I look like, Wang Yi.

As for what the Celestial Master told them by insinuating...

If I guessed correctly, it should be news like "Wang Yi killed innocent people indiscriminately in Qingzhu Town".

Perhaps not long ago, Tianshi was pretending to be me near Qingzhu Town and doing many bad things.This further consolidated the outside world's impression of the fact that "the deputy head of the Bronze School, Wang Yi, has done a lot of evil".

In any case, the purpose of the Celestial Master was achieved, the news about Wang Yi reached the Bronze Sect, and the Celestial Master successfully attracted Wang Xi without showing his face.

Now Wangxi and Liu Sizhang came here, probably to investigate this matter, Liu Sizhang is relatively naive in this respect, but Wangxi...

That's why he refused to tell me the purpose of this trip, and said "I believe in you" to me.

But for now, all the evidence can point to me: I hid my identity and hid in this inn to work, the first corpse was discovered by me, I have been to places where sudden deaths occurred outside the inn, and there is another My younger sister who practices medicine in a medical center and can dispense medicine, and more importantly, after I started to "ask for leave" as a sophomore, the sudden death stopped.

If I take off the mask now and reveal my true face, then the last item will become "Wang Yi is a guard by Wang Xi's side, and there is no time to commit murder, so sudden death will no longer happen."

Hey, if it is really regarded as the culprit, even I don't feel wronged.Looking at Liu Sizhang's speech and behavior in recent days, I am afraid that even he has begun to have doubts.As for what Wang Xi thinks... I hope he doesn't believe me so much, if he doesn't believe me, he won't be threatened by the celestial master like this.

Everything Tianshi is doing today is imitating what I did to Huayumen back then. I have some understanding of this paranoid imitator. If the final result does not meet his wishes, his actions will Be extra extreme, and things can turn out to be worse than expected.

When Tianshi started to threaten Wang Xi, it was his performance that he started to take extreme actions.

The author has something to say: Wang Yi: Why are my fans like this?Why?

Rong Chengxun: Fans follow the Lord.
