At this time, Liang Houzai said to me: "I think Luo Youfang must have reached an agreement with Zhang Xiaopan at the beginning. As long as Zhang Xiaopan agrees to be the material for corpse refining, he can make Zhang Xiaopan's family live without worries about food and clothing. Wang Qian must not know about these things, and Luo Youfang just used her mouth to reveal the matter of corpse refining to us."

Judging from the current situation, this seems to be the most reasonable explanation.

But I was still a little uneasy, because no matter what agreement Luo Youfang and Zhang Xiaopan reached, he would have refined Zhang Xiaopan into an evil corpse. This is actually equivalent to murder. Even if Zhang Xiaopan committed suicide, it seemed that he was instigated by Luo Youfang and lured him to commit suicide.

I stood there and remained silent for a long time until Liang Houzai said to me: "Actually, I think that if Luo Youfang is really ours, then maybe Grandpa Chai will not only know his identity."

I raised my eyebrows and asked Liang Houzai: "What does it mean?"

Liang Houzai said: "I think Master Chen should know this too. Think about it, Grandpa Chai's yang spirit is not complete, so he could not survive seventy..."

Speaking of this, Liang Houzai suddenly stopped and showed an embarrassing expression on his face. He probably felt that it was inappropriate to discuss my master's life span in front of me.

This is indeed inappropriate, but I won't blame him. And I also understand what he wants to say. He wants to say that when my master learned that his deadline was approaching, he would definitely tell another person about Luo Youfang's identity.

The only one who is most likely to know Luo Youfang's identity is Master Chen.

Among all my master’s friends, Master Chen has the best relationship with my master, and he is also one of the people I trust most.

I patted Liang Houzai on the shoulder and said to him and Liu Shangang: "Let's go and find Master Chen. We haven't been to see him for a long time."

Liu Shangang: "You don't plan to go to Zhang Xiaopan's house to take a look?"

I smiled at him: "There is nothing good to look at. When I went to their house, I just witnessed that Zhang Xiaopan's parents were doing well. Besides, they live quietly, so let's stop bothering them."

Liu Shangang nodded first, and then asked me: "Don't you ask Zhang Xiaopan's family if they know where the money comes from?"

Liang Houzai answered for me: "They definitely don't know the true origin of this money. Luo Youfang will not disclose any information about himself in order to protect himself. I think that in order to give this money to them, whether it is Zhang Xiaopan or Luo Youfang, it may have made up a very beautiful lie for them. Let's not go and expose this lie."

Of course, Liang Houzai was just one of the possibilities, and another possibility was that Zhang Xiaopan's family did not need any lies at all, and could accept the money their daughter had exchanged for with their lives with peace of mind, this bloody money.

But I would rather believe Liang Houzai's words. I hope that after Zhang Xiaopan's death, their parents had shown the good side of human nature rather than the evil ones.

Liu Shangang eventually did not insist on meeting Zhang Xiaopan's family. He started the car and took Liang Houzai and I to Master Chen's Taoist temple.

I haven't been to this Taoist temple for a long time. Over the years, our small city, like most places in the country, has undergone earth-shaking changes, but this Taoist temple is still the same as when I first saw it. The ground is covered with old blue bricks, and moss is growing under the water tanks outside the three halls. Occasionally, a few slightly newer stone bricks can be seen. Those bricks are incompatible with the surrounding environment. Not only are the colors very light, but the patterns of the stones are also different.

Many years ago, those places with new bricks were damaged by copper armored corpses. Later, they were broken bricks and replaced with new bricks, and they became what they are now.

Moreover, the incense here is as sparse as before. I haven't seen a pilgrimage for so long. There are only Taoist priests in groups of three or three to sweep or punch. Outside the Sanqing Hall, I saw Wu Xiangsong looking at the sky in a daze.

This guy looks no different from the past. When I met him the first time, he was a Ma Daha who could even draw talismans incorrectly. But when he was dealing with the golden armored corpse, the golden body summoned by Master Chen also looked exactly the same as him. At that time, I thought that Wu Xiangsong was probably different from what I imagined. He might be the kind of person who is wise and stupid.

But now when I see him in a daze, I can only think of "fool". As for "wisdom" in the great wisdom, I think Wu Xiangsong seems to have no fate with this word.

There was no intention to talk to him, but as soon as we walked to him, he heard him say, "Master is practicing qigong on the back mountain."

His words surprised me a little: "How do you know I'm looking for Taoist Master Chen?"

Wu Xiangsong glanced at me: "If you don't look for my master, are you coming to me?"

When we think about it, we are not familiar with other people in the Taoist temple. Isn’t it just for Taoist Master Chen to come here?

I smiled and said nothing. I continued to walk behind the Taoist temple. But after walking a few steps, I remembered that this Taoist temple had no back mountain at all. After leaving the back door, there was a very small forest. When I passed through the forest, I was the road.

At this time, Wu Xiangsong shouted to us again: "The back mountain is the chasing mountain."

Before the Taoist temple was moved, it was indeed built at the foot of the Lungou Mountain. Isn’t it the back mountain?

I sighed helplessly, turned my head and walked towards the front door. I passed by Wu Xiangsong again. I found that he was leaning against the pillar outside the Sanqing Hall and fell asleep.

Liang Houzai stared at him for a long time and said to me: "This guy is different from what I imagined."

I said, "Master Chen said he was a person with great opportunity. Although I never understood what the opportunity he was talking about, no matter what, Wu Xiangsong probably has some outstanding features."

Liang Houzai nodded.

Because Wangzhuang is not far from the Taoist temple, Liu Shangang did not drive anymore, so we just walked towards the village.

I remember when I was young, Wangzhuang was quite far from the city, but now Yong'an Road has been widened and lengthened. If it weren't for the large area of ​​cultivated land in the mesh, it would have almost become an urban village.

When I was about to reach the intersection, I looked at Wang Dapeng's Internet cafe. When Yong'an Road was widened last year, all their houses were demolished. After the new street was built, Wang Dapeng opened a larger Internet cafe in the old place. I heard that the business was better than before.

But speaking of this, Wang Dapeng was proud in business, but he had been stumbling in love. I heard that he got married two years ago, but he divorced less than three months after the marriage, and I don’t know what happened.

My Master Xia said that Wang Dapeng's fortune will change after he is twenty-five years old. Think about it, he seems to be twenty-four this year and he will probably make a fortune in one year.

When passing by the Internet cafe, Wang Dapeng immediately pushed open the door and stuck out his head: "Oh, Brother Dao, why are you back? I'll treat you to dinner."

Every time he saw us, he would say, "I'll treat you to a meal", which has become his habit.

I smiled and nodded: "Okay, the old rules, you can choose the place, and I will decide the time."

Wang Dapeng grinned, then asked us to go in and play, saying that there were three empty machines in the Internet cafe.

In Wang Dapeng's Internet cafe, there is a very small private room. The machine in this private room is the best and the cleanest environment, but it is not open to the public. Although he doesn't say it, I know in my heart that this private room was specially prepared for us. Because there are only three machines inside, one containing my favorite games, one containing many supernatural novels that Liang Houzai loves to read, and one containing many very old martial arts novels.

Moreover, these three machines are all single-wire and independent hard drives. You don’t need to log in to your account or use your ID card to start the computer.

I just smiled and said that there was something else to do. I came again the other day. Wang Dapeng didn't force us to keep us, but kept leaning against the door and watching me laughing stupidly.

He probably wanted to say that my condition looked much better than when he met me last time.

It's been two years since I was decadent for too long, and many people are concerned about me. In fact, I also want to tell them that Zuo Youdao, two years ago, is back to make them feel at ease.

I had returned from the shadow to the sun, but Master Chen had not seemed to have walked out of the shadow yet.

When I arrived at Luanfen Mountain, Master Chen was sitting on the stool my master had been sitting in, smoking a cigarette. The cigarette pole was also left by my master.

He seemed to be thinking about things. He didn't say "Oh" in shock until we walked to the door, and then stood up with a smile on his face: "Why are you three back?"

I said, "Anyway, the school has finished the exam, and I have nothing to do with it, so I came back. Master Chen, why did you come to Lunfen Mountain?"

Master Chen was a little absent-minded. After a while, he responded to me: "Oh, hey, those little guys are too messy. I'll come here to be quiet and quiet."

While he was talking, I came to the front of the room and looked into the room. The decorations inside were the same as when my master was alive, and the bed was covered with clean quilts.

It seems that Master Chen must have lived here all the time, otherwise the house would not be so clean.

Master Chen asked behind me, "The ghost market is about to open?"

I said: "This year is delayed by one month."

In theory, Jihun Village should have notified all sects of the postponement of the Ghost Market a month ago. As my master’s best friend, Taoist Chen could not have received the notice.

He pondered for a moment before saying, "By the way, look at my brain, why did you forget to pinch it."

I found that Master Chen had been absent-minded and sighed helplessly: "Master has been leaving for more than two years."

Master Chen also sighed: "Yes, it's been more than two years."

After saying that, he first fell into a moment of contemplation, and after a while, he said, "What should be left, I still can't keep it in the end."

As he said, Master Chen stood up, he patted my shoulder and asked me with a smile: "You guys, can't you come here specifically? Didn't you find me in the Taoist temple? Wu Xiangsong told you that I'm here?"

I also laughed: "You can't hide anything from Taoist priest. Actually, we came to you today to learn about Luo Youfang's affairs."

The smile on Master Chen's face froze immediately. He stared into my eyes and asked me carefully: "What's he doing?"

I think Master Chen’s reaction was a little wrong. His tone was not like asking, but more like temptation.

So I changed my tone and said seriously: "He is here to look for me."

Master Chen: "What are you doing?"

I didn't answer, but asked, "Is Luo Youfang the one from us?"

After hearing what I said, Master Chen's mouth twitched several times. He looked at me, then at Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai, his face changed.

In my opinion, Master Chen’s current performance is almost equivalent to giving me a positive answer.
Chapter completed!
