Record of the Missing Sect Master

Ever since he got this book, Chief Ge hasn't had a good night's sleep.

At first, he was taken aback by the lamp extinguishing the poison, and then he was taken aback by the people from the rivers and lakes rushing in. He was like a helpless old man walking with a group of thieves with a pearl in his arms. Discovery and incur a murderous disaster.

Later, there was a thief in the house, and he began to understand the other party's intentions. Suspicion towards Mr. Wei and others, guilt towards Mr. Wang, hesitation about whether to confess, and worries about the future tormented him day and night, and he had nowhere to go. Even today, when Wen Renheng forced him to tell the truth, he suddenly felt that the heavy burden of walking hundreds of thousands of miles on his back had fallen to the ground.

With a sound of "boom", I feel comfortable all over.

Most of the indecision in this world is due to the lack of a thrust. Once you take the first step, you will find that things are actually far less terrifying than imagined.

Now he is more at ease, more energetic, and his mind is turning faster.

He knows that everyone present here is human, and he will definitely consider the possibility that he wants to send them away with fake products. In order to avoid being misunderstood, he simply took the initiative to point out: "The book was like this when the dog took it home. Along with that box."

Everyone glanced at the wooden box.

This box is very small, just enough to hold a book, it seems to be tailor-made, and it is very convenient to carry.

Gang Leader Ge continued: "The box is made of the best kind of insect-proof wood, and the book's paper is the famous Xuancheng paper in the previous dynasty. It's been nearly eight or nine years, so I dare not lie to you, it is indeed this book."

The people present really doubted him, and only then did they dispel their doubts.

Gang Leader Ge obtained the secret book recently, even if he wanted to fool them, he couldn't come up with something from a few years ago.If I wrote a book when I was bored before, it is even more impossible to use it by mistake now. As we all know, people in Dingtian Academy have always attached great importance to pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and let them waste Xuancheng paper like this. It's worse than killing them.

Seeing them nodding, Gang Leader Ge breathed a sigh of relief, feeling more energetic, closed the book and showed them the cover.An ugly fruit is embroidered with red thread on the black-backed cover, exactly the same as the signature on the first page.

He said: "This is an ugly fruit. I don't know if you have eaten it. Although it looks ugly, the flesh inside is very delicious after peeling off the peel."

Several people understood.

Master Wei Zhuang said: "Does Gang Master Ge think it represents a certain meaning?"

"Yes, it makes me feel that this book has other mysteries, as if to say don't be fooled by appearances," Wei Zhuangzhu said, "But in the past few days, I have soaked in water, baked in fire, and even dripped blood. But it didn't work."

He looked at them: "Later, I began to think that the reason why the other party did this was probably to make me keep it by my side to study. He knew that people in my academy love books, so he didn't hesitate to use the valuable Xuancheng paper , and Gouzi just got the book on his front foot, and then came out of the rivers and lakes after the lamp was detoxified. After thinking about it, I think someone is trying to plot against us at Dingtian Academy."

"This..." Several people hesitated.

Zhuangzhu Wei took the lead to speak: "It's not like that. If he really wants to repay you in this way, he doesn't have to wait eight or nine years. He just needs to lure you to pick up the book after finishing the book, and then he will give it to you." On the way, find a way to let you reveal your secrets and let others see the book, so that there will be witnesses and evidence, and then, he will just wait patiently for you to be unlucky."

Gang Leader Ge was silent for a while. He actually had doubts about this matter, but these days he couldn't help but think about it, and said: "If he tried to plot against someone before, it turned out to be useless, but recently we accidentally provoked him , did he set us up?"

Wen Renheng asked: "How was the surrounding situation when Master Ge found the wooden box? Can you tell that it is newly placed?"

Chief Ge was taken aback. He was very anxious these days and didn't want his son to know too much, so he only asked why his son went to the cliff, but didn't ask anything else.Without hesitation, he immediately sent someone to call for his son, questioned him carefully, and found out that he had indeed been released for a long time.

Chief Ge asked: "Are you sure?"

The young gang leader said: "I'm sure, I still have this vision, and I have been letting go for several years."

Chief Ge waved him out, feeling another stone in his heart was about to fall to the ground, and said, "Then this is all a coincidence? He used the Xuancheng paper to prevent it from rotting, and it was a coincidence that the dog picked it up?"

The crowd didn't dare to say enough, saying: "Maybe."

Gang Leader Ge frowned: "But why did he do this? He even chose precious paper, just to trick people?"

Ye You smiled and agreed: "Well, maybe I'm too busy."

Everyone didn't look at him.

Ye You added slowly: "But he's not playing tricks for nothing. Chief Ge's guess should be right. There's probably another mystery behind this."

Several people were immediately attracted by his words, and then looked at him.

All along, this person has been obediently following Wen Renheng's side, and the number of times he speaks is very few. Every time he speaks, he answers the senior's questions as before. Therefore, in their impression, this person is a wounded quiet man. This is the first time I heard him express his opinion, so I can't help being a little fresh and surprised.

Wen Renheng also took a look at his junior brother, but he wasn't surprised at all.

His junior brother has always been smart, and within a few years he has developed the Demon Cult into one of the best sects among the evil sects. Even if he has lost his memory now, how can he be underestimated at will?

Gang Leader Ge looked at the injured young master and asked, "How do you say that?"

"I don't know if you have noticed this box." Ye You turned the small wooden box in his hand. Just after Ge Gangzhu mentioned the box, he took it over and looked at it. He pointed to the back of the box, "There is a praying mantis engraved here, Probably because you were afraid that you would throw away the box halfway, I saw that there is also an ugly fruit on the cover, embroidered next to the leaves, right?"

"Yes." Gang Leader Ge said and showed them the cover.

This is a very small praying mantis, it is the same color as the ugly fruit, you can't really tell it unless you look carefully, but he will flip it over whenever he has time these days, so it is naturally clear.

Several people around looked at it, and secretly admired the young man's good eyesight, and asked, "What does this mean?"

"There are also munai trees, where there are trees, there are leaves. Seniors, look, there are also a few leaves under this ugly fruit," Ye You said, "Leaves and praying mantises, Ge Gangzhu is a scholar. There is a sentence in "Huainanzi" that "mantises serve cicadas." Self-impeding leaf, can be invisible', this story, I wonder if Chief Ge has heard of it?"

Gang Leader Ge took a deep breath: "Is this implying a blind eye?"

Ye You smiled and nodded: "Master Ge removed the box, did you see anything else?"

Leader Ge called his son back without further ado, and asked, "You said you picked up this book in a cave?"

The young gang leader was very helpless: "Yes, I really let it go for many years."

"I didn't ask you this," said Gang Leader Ge, "What else is around, can you see it?"

The young gang leader recalled: "It was very dark inside, and there were several layers of cobwebs woven outside. I only saw the box in the corner. When I opened it, I found this, so I hurried back."

A sentence flashed through everyone's minds in unison: Sure enough, they were "obstructed by a leaf"!

They looked at Ye You: "Are you sure there is still something in the cave?"

"It's very possible," Ye You said, "Just imagine, if you spent a lot of time planning one thing, and had the patience to wait for eight or nine years, would you simply give a book to make people scratch their heads? What's more, if he really If you want to make a fuss about this book, you can just embroider an ugly fruit and throw the book out, why do you try to tell people not to be blinded by one leaf?"

Everyone looked at the box and the book again, and fell silent.

Gang Leader Ge was cast into the shadows, and asked worriedly: "But what if I go and get punished by him again?"

"If he just wants to punish people, does he need to wait so long?" Ye You paused, then smiled, "Oh, there is a possibility that his personality is too bad, but seeing how patient he is. Waiting for someone to pick up the book, I think he probably belongs to the kind of evil with sincerity."

Everyone couldn't help but ask: "What do you say?"

Ye You said: "It means that he will be sincere to those who come to find out. Since he has designed a trap, he probably won't deceive people. There are ugly fruits embroidered on it, so what we will get in the end is better than this book." "Chasing into the Scattered" is okay. Of course, this is just a little idea of ​​the junior. Another possibility is that he passed away unexpectedly just after setting a trap. It depends on the meaning of the seniors."

Zhuangzhu Wei looked at Wen Renheng: "What does Xiao Heng think?"

Wen Renheng smiled: "I believe in the judgment of my junior."

Everyone went through the matter and looked at each other.

Chief Ge was the first to decide to go. He is not stupid. Among these people, only his son knows the exact location. If he does not go this time, if some of these people have evil thoughts in the future and want to find out, his son will be the one who is unlucky. .

A few people then finalized the time of departure, and they dispersed.

Before leaving, Ye You glanced at Ge Gangzhu and told him with a smile that he had to take more precautions in the next few days.Gang Leader Ge was taken aback for a moment, and then thought that if the thief didn't show up again, it was a clear statement that the poisoner was hiding among them. The other party might not be so stupid, and probably would send someone again.

He nodded, watched them go away, and said with emotion: "As expected of the apprentices brought out by Mr. Yu, each one of them is so powerful..."

The young gang leader didn't hear clearly: "Father?"

Gang Leader Ge looked at him, and was furious: "Look at him, and then at you, you still haven't learned from him!"

The young gang leader knew that his father was a little irritable recently, so he ran away immediately.

The group of people had already left the gate, Wen Renheng deliberately slowed down his pace, and waited for a sufficient distance from the people in front before looking at his junior brother: "Don't forget to go to see Miracle Doctor Ji regularly."

Ye You said: "I haven't forgotten, but don't you think this is very interesting?"

Wen Renheng said: "Tell the truth."

Ye You said: "I am very interested in this matter."

As soon as Wen Renheng heard it, he knew that he couldn't stop him, so he began to think about the possibility of pulling Shangji Miracle Doctor along the way, and slowly walked up the stone bridge with him. At this time, he saw an old lady carrying a basket, heading straight for the junior brother and coming over.

A certain elder of the Devil's Cult took out a flower from the basket, squeezed his throat and asked, "My lord, do you want to buy flowers?"
