After Fu Keji took his seat, he and Cheng Qianren nodded in salute, and then turned their eyes to the window.

He has a calm temperament and a stern face. He doesn't know whether he is thinking about a problem or watching the sunset.

According to common sense, when a guest comes to visit a doctor, the host always wants to say a few pleasantries.

But they were not familiar with each other, they met three times and drew their swords twice.What should we talk about in the afternoon when we are still fighting in the same field in the morning?

"Your Excellency's swordsmanship is so powerful that I was almost beaten to death."

It seems inappropriate.

Cheng Qianren was immersed in brain supplementation, Fu Keji didn't speak.The atmosphere was once very awkward.

The silence was depressing, and Xu Ran was the first to lose his temper.

She suddenly turned to Fu Keji: "Speaking of which, you really don't..."

"Cough, cough, cough!" Cheng Qianren coughed desperately, almost coughing out his lungs.

Xu Ran was surprised: "No, don't you want to eat something? It's getting late, why don't you pad your stomach first?"

Damn, it's all Gu Er's fault, saying 'no move' all day long.It's none of your business whether people raise it or not?

But Fu Keji nodded slowly, cherishing words like gold and said: "Yes."

Xu Ran was stunned, and looked to his friend for help, he had already bigu, right?Really eat it?How can there be anything to eat in the deer's clinic?

Cheng Qianren hurriedly winked, and Xu Ran bravely walked to the medicine cabinet.Fortunately, the deer is careful, and each small medicine drawer has a label.

She randomly grabbed a few handfuls of tangerine peel, dried dates, and peach kernels, filled the empty bowl, and stuffed them into Fu Keji's arms.

"You're welcome."

The corners of Cheng Qianren's eyes twitched slightly.

Fu Keji was silent for a moment, but out of politeness, he still said 'thank you'.

Then he began to eat the tangerine peel, as seriously as when wiping a sword, chewing carefully, swallowing slowly, expressionless.

Cheng Qianren... just watched him eat.

Xu Ran thought to herself, it's really easy to feed, so I can eat whatever I give.

The sky is gradually sinking, the afterglow of the setting sun converges on the clouds, and the indoor light suddenly dims.

The noise outside the building reappeared.There seemed to be a lot of people running in the corridor, and the words "Xifengge's", "burn medicine", and "cold water" were faintly heard.

Cheng Qianren was restless.

"Bangdang."

Fu Keji put down the bowl: "I take back what I said on stage today."

Cheng Qianren was startled, the other party only said one sentence: You are not suitable for this sword.

"But I'm going to take it back anyway."

Shengui Piyi is a soldier of the Jiange Town Mountain, who was taken away by Ning Fu, and lived outside for 16 years, and was coveted by many parties.Since he encountered it, there was no reason to let it go.

"Recover well."

He left after speaking.as it came.

A small medicine bottle was left on the table.

The wounded in the fire were carried into the hospital one after another.Lin Duzhi hugged Gu Xuejiang and hurried upstairs.In the dark and long corridor, they met on a narrow road.

Fu Keji lowered his eyes and glanced at Gu Xuejiang, only to see that his clothes and hair were completely wet, as if he had just been fished out of the water, his eyelids were half closed, and his face was pale.

Gu Xuejiang suddenly raised her eyes and looked back coldly, showing no sign of weakness.

Lin Duzhi turned slightly sideways, blocking the sight of the two of them.He didn't greet Fu Keji either, so he passed by.

****

Gu Xuejiang jumped from the third floor with a huge force.Fortunately, Lin Duzhi's practice was smooth and gentle, and he caught him safely, and the two fell into the huge water tank without any damage.

But out of some considerations, Gu Xuejiang lay in the arms of the deer all the way, pretending to be weak.

Nanyuan's four idiots met in the clinic, and they were at peace with each other.Too many things happened on this day, they need to exchange news and sort out their thoughts.

Gu Xuejiang can be sure that the fire was arson, but he can't tell more details: "I have normal five senses now, and I can't detect it in advance. After the fire started, I was busy saving people..."

Cheng Qianren said: "The college should review the ruins. I will go and watch tonight, hoping to find some clues."

Xu Ran: "Heal your wounds first, and I'll go."

Gu Xuejiang shook her head: "Recently, I have been inseparable from Lin Lu, which forced them to take risks. After all, as soon as the battle between the two courtyards is over, they will have to leave Nanyuan. Since I am not dead, it is not us who should be nervous. I guess the opposite side Try to find ways to deal with the aftermath, for fear of being caught by the inspection team."

"The news of my serious injury will spread quickly. Tonight we seized the opportunity to do a big thing by surprise. This thing is done and the situation is under control."

Lin Duzhi pondered for a moment: "...not fully prepared, I disagree."

Cheng Qianren: "Have you made up your mind?" Unexpectedly, Qiu Bei was extremely slow-tempered, but he was quick at making things.

Xu Ran: "Wait, what are you talking about?"

Gu Xuejiang wanted to persuade Lin Duzhi alone, and deliberately diverted the topic away, her eyes fell on the table: "What is this?"

Xu Ran: "The bowl is for Fu Keji. He left the medicine bottle."

Gu Xuejiang picked up a piece of dried jujube and threw it into her mouth, almost spitting it out: "You two are really talented."

Cheng Qianren had no choice but to explain the whole story, saying that he was not taking revenge, let alone doing childish things like 'eating others alive'.

Lin Duzhi opened the porcelain bottle and sniffed it: "Jiange's elixir, Bailudan, heals Qi and blood both internally and externally, Qian Ren eats it quickly."

Only then did Xu Ran realize how unpalatable the medicine she was grabbing, and couldn't hold back his face: "Then he still ate half a bowl, is he stupid?"

Gu Xuejiang: "Since he is here today, he will eat the tea you gave him, no matter what it is. This proves that he has no malice, and the medicine left for Qian Ren can be taken with confidence."

Fu Ke himself practiced swords since he was a child, so he was infected with a violent sword spirit, and he couldn't speak. He couldn't be like Yuan Xiasuo, who could make people feel refreshed and put down their guard with a few words.He has his own way of doing things, even if it seems silly at times.

Cheng Qianren looked at the god and ghost Piyi, and thought that the boss probably thought the sword was troublesome, so he threw it to me so that he could escape.

Buying fake wine, deceiving people with dyed jade, the great personality of Jiange Shuangbi does not exist.

***

The ruins of Qifeng Pavilion were cleared overnight, and several deacons who inspected the examinations did their duty, and they did not forget to bring out the students' test papers in the fire scene.The deacon's hall issued a notice that Qifeng Pavilion can get [-] points more than other test centers.

On the afternoon of the second day, there were not many people discussing the scene of the fire, and everyone liked to argue whether the extra points were a disadvantage or an advantage.

It was obviously a big event, but everything was calm, and the guards were silently strengthened everywhere in the academy, which seemed extremely strange.

Nan Yuan four foolishly stopped, everyone knew they were in the consulting room.On the third day, someone finally came to the door.

The chief deacon introduced: "This is Mr. Jia from the government office of the state government."

Mrs. Jia wore a black gauze cap and a dark green official robe, with her belly outstretched, she walked in with her hands behind her back: "Which one is Gu Xuejiang?"

"I am."

"The fire case of Qifeng Pavilion three days ago has been incorporated into the jurisdiction of the state government. The governor sent his own official to investigate. The governor expressed cordial condolences to the victims, and also sent condolences to Mr. Wang, the criminal law department. Lord Liu of the dossier..."

He spoke to more than ten adults in one breath.

Cheng Qianren didn't remember any of them.I thought to myself that the vice president and the judge don't care?The inspection team doesn't care?When will it be the turn of the state government to have the first investigation power in the college's case?Did those big shots make any deals again?

Mr. Jia walked to the back of the case: "I was ordered to collect evidence, please tell me everything that happened three days ago from the beginning." The little official next to him moved the chair for him with great winking, and took out a pen and paper to record.

Gu Xuejiang began to narrate, speaking very carefully.

Master Jia knocked on the table.Sometimes perfunctory and a few words.

"I entered the examination room on the third floor and found that the building was stuffy after the rain, so I took off my robe and put it together with the bong..."

"Stop, the smoker and fire booklet has appeared, write it down!"

The little official heard the words and wrote quickly.Master Jia's face softened slightly: "Don't be afraid, you are also a victim, and we will not pursue any responsibility. The reconstruction of Xifeng Pavilion and the laying of formations will also be funded by the state government."

Gu Xuejiang frowned: "If it was my fire pocket that started the fire, it should start with smoke and then light the fire, but in our examination room, the fire started directly. The fire spread everywhere, causing thick smoke."

Master Jia saw that he was not only ungrateful, but also dared to question him.He said patiently: "Others didn't say that. They just said that they didn't understand why it caught fire. Do you think there is a spirit on the third floor who practices fire spells, and the spiritual energy in his body leaked, and he caught fire when he didn't realize it?" If the spiritual energy is withered today, The less spiritual practice, not to mention that everyone was sealed before entering the building.

Gu Xuejiang: "I think this is a case of artificial arson. After all, various talisman instruments can self-destruct after being ignited, leaving no evidence at all. So we can't start from this angle, we should investigate first..."

Mr. Jia said casually: "Well, we will pay attention to your guess, and maybe it will be included in the closing documents. But there is no evidence. Only the smoking gun really exists."

Gu Xuejiang said angrily: "A smoker knows a smoker! You mean that I set fire to murder, and I want to burn myself to death?!"

"Bold, I'm patiently reasoning with you, yet you contradict me!"

Master Jia sneered, shook his sleeves and went out.

Cheng Qianren got up and brushed off his robe: "Wait a minute, I'll see you off."

After the battle with Fu Keji, Cheng Qianren became even more famous.In fact, in terms of cultivation, he is not ranked among the top ten in the academy, and in terms of combat power, he can't be said to be the highest.But he had the most legendary experience and the most gimmick, and he was instantly sought after as the number one genius in Nanyuan. When he entered and exited the east gate, there must be crowds of people watching.

State officials also watched the semi-finals, Mr. Jia recognized him, but heard that he was arrogant, and no one paid attention to him.

At this time, being sent downstairs by such a young genius did not show it on the surface, but it was very rewarding in his heart.

"Your Excellency has worked hard."

Master Jia waved his hand: "Since he is also a victim, the state government does not want to pursue it out of humanitarian concern. If he is obsessed with his obsession, it will not do him any good if he talks about 'artificial arson'."

"Now is a special period for the double-court fighting. The nobles from all sides gathered in Nanyuan. All the big things should be turned into small ones. Don't let outsiders see the jokes. No one was injured this time. Some flesh..."

"Close the case as soon as possible to show the stability of the college, the stability of Changzhou, and the stability of the south. Some young people don't have a big picture, how do they understand the importance of maintaining stability?"

In the absence of evidence, we can only investigate the case from the personnel relationship. After a lot of trouble, if the culprit cannot be found out, wouldn't it appear that the state government is incompetent?What will the state government do if the culprit who doesn't want to see or offend is found out?

Cheng Qianren said calmly, "My lord has a good opinion, but I don't know what the other students who suffered from the disaster think..."

"What do you think? The person sitting next to him, the one at Chunbo Terrace, said that he became addicted to cigarettes during the exam, and while he was not paying attention to smoking during the exam, he hid the pipe under his robe..."

Cheng Qianren knew that Gu Er would never do such a mentally handicapped thing.

"Can I meet that student?" Sometimes witnesses are put under state protection.

"I'm afraid not. He is not a practitioner. He is weak and sick. This time he was frightened and fell seriously ill. He has already applied for a long rest and will not come to the academy for half a year."

Cheng Qianren thought: "How many people have left the hospital, is the matter serious?"

"Only him. Totally under control."

Cheng Qianren: "So that's the case, my lord."

"I heard that you plan to buy a big house on Wensi Street?" Mrs. Jia saw that he was a teachable child, so he was willing to sell his favors along the way: "My subordinates are in charge of the deed tax and the transfer of ownership, so there is no need to line up at that time, just come and find me. "

Cheng Qianren thanked the other party again. He had asked brokers about land prices and housing prices. Those brokers had a lot of connections, and most of them could get on the line of the state government office.

Lord Jia accepted the gift and left very satisfied.

If he knew that when this person was a buddy, he could call a peddler brother for ten catties of flour, and he didn't know what it would be like.

After hearing Cheng Qianren finished speaking, Gu Xuejiang said to herself: "How could it be...that student didn't die..."

Xu Ran: "What?"

"You should prepare a fire talisman and a self-igniting talisman. The former let the student bring it into the examination room to find an opportunity to ignite it, and the latter quietly put it on him. I can die, of course. If I can't die, the student is also dead. The second is to accuse me of smoking in the examination room, causing fire and hurting people. Then I bribed my family members to kneel at the gate of the college, laying wreaths and setting up a mourning hall, relatives and friends cried loudly, and insisted that Nanyuan covered the murderer."

"During the period of fighting between the two colleges, how many pairs of eyes were staring at them. Can the college detain them all? Kill them all? Of course it is to settle the matter. Even if I don't convict me, I will be expelled from school. Once I leave the college..."

Cheng Qianren understood what he meant.For them, the identity of Nanyuan students is the strongest protection.

"What about now? It took a lot of time and effort, but the plan was only up to the point of arson, and there was no plan for the future. I thought that everything would be fine if I got a connection in the state capital..."

He finally concluded: "No progress at all!"

Xu Ran was completely dumbfounded: "You, what are you thinking about all day long?"

"Since I haven't made progress, why should I be polite..."

Cheng Qianren seemed to see a late middle school student with a raging flame burning behind him.

Lin Duzhi was a little worried: "If you want to do something, you must discuss it with me."

Just as there was a commotion downstairs, there was a faint shout: "The semi-finals of the essay test have been released!"

Gu Xuejiang stood up: "Lu, let's take a look. I answered very well."

***

The test papers were posted on the bulletin board outside the library building. This was the first time that Beilan's team showed the proficiency of the written test. Nanyuan students couldn't wait to "know themselves and know each other".

"The one on the far left, the writing is beautiful!"

"What is this writing, who will read it? Master can read! It's just that his writing is too messy!"

"Our Nanyuan is turning around this year, more than 20 people have entered the finals."

Yuan Xiasuo repeatedly told Qiu Bei to follow him closely, but Qiu Bei walked slowly and was submerged by the crowd in a blink of an eye.

He had no choice but to turn around and look for him, but he couldn't find anyone. He first saw Lin Duzhi and Gu Xuejiang who were a little taller.Relying on their height advantage, the three of them crossed the crowd and met successfully.

"How is your injury?"

Lin Duzhi stood with a calm expression, and Gu Xuejiang was in charge of communicating with the outside world: "It's about the same. Qiu Bei didn't come?"

"Here it is... lost. Your friend surnamed Cheng didn't come?"

"He went to practice swords."

"It's a pity. Otherwise, if you shout 'Cheng Qianren is here', those tall and burly martial artists in front will all run to see him, who will squeeze us, alas."

The inspectors rushed to maintain order, and most of the crowd dispersed in a blink of an eye.The students who came to meet us talked a lot.

"'Nanshan No. [-]' did not take the first place in the exam, what's going on?"

"I heard that he handed in the paper early..."

Yuan Xiasuo coughed lightly: "The identity card of 'Buddha Son' is too difficult, if I get it, it is far worse than your answer."

Lin Duzhi said indifferently: "It's not easy for the 'intermediate', so why be humble." The 'intermediate' needs to gain the trust of both humans and demons, and the conditions for the topic are equally harsh.

The outsiders who watched the excitement left, and only the experts who watched the doorway remained in front of the big list.They mainly study other people's answering ideas, and the teacher commented.

Lin Duzhi answered with a high score of 85. Last year's semi-finals, this result could win the top spot, but this year Qiu Bei tied with him, and Yuan Xiasuo scored [-] points.

Gu Xuejiang was even more frightening, because the Qifengge candidates got 1 extra points.He occupies No.[-] with [-] points.

Someone next to them recognized them and offered to give way.But seeing Lin Duzhi's indifferent demeanor, he had to give up the idea of ​​striking up a conversation.

Gu Xuejiang pointed at Lin Duzhi's rolled face: "In the final layout, the Buddha did not kill the Demon King. Ten points are deducted for this point."

Mr. Hu's comment is very simple: "The devil will not die, the world will not be safe, and the Buddha will never become a true Buddha."

He approached Lin Lu and lowered his voice: "Why are you negligent? You must be worried about me, so you hand in the paper hastily, right?"

Lin Lu whispered: "Buddhas will not kill the devil."

"why?"

"If he can't convert the demon king, what kind of Buddha will he become? But the demon king has no heart, how can he convert? I can't answer this question. The deduction of points is not injustice."

Relaxed, the two quietly withdrew from the crowd, chatting while walking.Walk around to the secluded flower corridor behind the library.

Lin Duzhi shook his head helplessly: "Our questions are relative, and the papers are put together for comparison. It's probably because you answered the question 'How to destroy my merits' so well that I was deducted points..."

Gu Xuejiang smiled and said, "Now I'll change the answer. I won't prevent you from saving all living beings on the battlefield, and I won't destroy your merits. While restraining you with the lives of thousands of mortals, while opening the 'Vatican Cloud Demon Array' to kill you, what should you do?"

Lin Duzhi: "Then you are wrong. Don't be afraid of life and death. I will sacrifice my body to save all peoples. I have completed the cycle of reincarnation for nine lifetimes. My merits and virtues have been completed. The Buddha's son Nirvana will become a Buddha. What should you do?"

Gu Xuejiang raised her eyebrows: "After you become a Buddha, go to the heavens, and I will wear your cassock in the world, praise your Dharma, imitate your supernatural powers, misinterpret your classics, confuse your believers, and use your Buddha's name to revive me Mo Dao, what should you do?"

"Didn't you go to become a Buddha? Can you come back?"

But seeing Lin Duzhi staring at him in a daze, two lines of hot tears rolled down.

Gu Xuejiang immediately went out of the play, picked up her sleeves and wiped away tears for him: "I was wrong, I was wrong, it's fine, why are you crying?"

Lin Duzhi was emotional, and the first time he spoke, he spoke in Penglai language, speaking quickly and vaguely.

Gu Xuejiang did not understand a sentence.Even if he was scolded, he would admit it, and coaxed softly: "Shall we go home and have dinner?"

"Boiled Chinese kale with bamboo shoots and broccoli, cold cucumber and bitter gourd chayote, you can cook them as you like."
