Chapter 18 Xie Fengtang
"There are thieves!"
The high-pitched shout suddenly sounded, tearing through the long night and spreading throughout the entire Wanhe Garden.
This shout spread to the four fields, and immediately attracted the unmath students to look around, and some people heard the direction of the sound clearly, and they were already rushing towards this side.
In the blink of an eye, a large number of students were standing at the door of Tao Ranju, and a team of students in charge of picketing rushed through the crowd, only to see Tang Zheng standing at the door.
"What's wrong?" yelled!" one of the pickets said angrily.
Tang Zheng had already said to the man: "Senior Brother Hui, just now a thief entered my house at night with the intention of stealing?"
When these words came out, the crowd immediately burst into an uproar.
As the most advanced academy in Wenxin China, Xiyue Academy is governed by immortal masters, and it is really unallowed, and it is difficult for even rats to come in and take a bite, and it has not been a long time since there has been a thief, but I didn't expect this to happen today, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
The students in charge of the pickets were also stunned, and one of them asked, "Can you see who it is?"
Tang Zheng replied: "The night is too dark, the disciple has just returned, and he didn't see who it was." ”
"What did you lose?"
"That's not it, everything in the house is fully placed. ”
"Then why are you shouting that there is a thief?" the student was also angry.
Tang Zheng was not in a hurry, pointed to a pile of flour on the ground and said, "If there are no thieves, where do the footprints on the ground come from?"
Compared with the footprints that Tang Zheng saw before, the footprints he was referring to at this moment were much more "clear".
The student was immediately stunned.
The rules of the Moon Washing Academy are strict, if you don't have permission, even if you are picketing, you can't trespass into other people's houses, and if you don't enter uninvited, even if you are not a thief, you must be arrested and tortured.
Now that Tang Zheng has "evidence", he can't even ask about it.
The student who was the leader immediately lit a communication talisman, and in just a few moments, someone had already appeared in front of Tao Ran.
It was Xin Yue and Si Yue'er.
As soon as Na Xin Yue arrived, he snorted: "It's been a long time since there has been a thief in the Moon Washing Academy, but I didn't expect it to be lively today." ”
As he spoke, he strode into the Tang Robbery house, looked left and right, and said, "Who is the owner of the house?"
Tang Zai stood up and arched his hand: "Tang Zai, a student of the moon washing, has seen Master Xin, Master Si. ”
"It turned out to be you. Xin Yue looked at Tang Zheng, and there was a rare smile on his face.
As a scholar, Tang Zheng still has a pretty good impression in the eyes of many teachers.
Xin Yue even remembered that in the first class, Tang Zai was the only one who carefully recorded every word he said with a pen.
Although he himself doesn't take his lectures seriously, it always makes people feel happy when someone attaches importance to his lectures.
At this moment, Xin Yue nodded: "Tell me what you found." ”
Tang Zai came back from joining the association and "inadvertently" found that the flour he had spilled was stained with other people's footprints.
As he spoke, he pointed to the footprints on the ground and said, "Master, please see, the size of this shoe print is definitely much larger than the size of the boy's foot, and it is impossible for me to keep it myself, and the shoe print is not right." ”
Xin Yue only glanced at it, and then continued to ask, "What was lost in the house?"
"That's not it, not only did it not be lost, but it was so good that it looked like nothing had been moved. ”
"Oh, while you're not there, you sneaked over and didn't do anything?" Xin Yue raised his eyebrows, looked at the room carefully, and suddenly pinched the magic with both hands, and shot out a series of spiritual qi and fell on the things in the house, and then his face suddenly changed: "Everything here has been spelled......"
The things in the house were spelled, and the nature of the matter changed significantly. If someone planted a vicious spell on these ordinary objects, it was likely to be a matter of human life.
Si Yue'er had already said, "Maybe you can find out what kind of spell it is?"
She is not like Xin Yue, who in addition to lecturing in the academy, she also has insight and is the best at discovering hidden traces.
Xin Yue shook his head: "It's not like some kind of spell or evil spell, but I don't know what the purpose is, wait for me to check it carefully." ”
He was about to check again, but he heard a voice behind him: "No need to check, it's a return to the source." ”
Everyone turned around and saw a middle-aged man in a green robe standing at the door of the house.
The man in the green robe looked dignified, quite a bit of unangry and self-righteous demeanor, and at this moment he entered straight from the door with his hands behind his back, and when Xin Si and the others saw it, they had bowed down at the same time: "Thank you, hall master!"
Hearing this title, Tang Zheng didn't know who was from the road?
Xie Fengtang, the deputy head of the Moon Washing Academy!
The Moon Washing Sect has eight inner halls and eight outer halls, and the Moon Washing Academy is actually just a part of the inner eight halls of the Moon Washing Sect, which is responsible for training disciples.
Due to the relatively important status of the Moon Washing Academy, the head of the academy is usually the master of the training hall, so the main master Feng Hongluan has been away for a long time, and on weekdays, he is like a dragon who sees the head but not the end, and the students only know his name but not the person, most of the affairs of the Moon Washing Academy are in charge of Xie Fengtang, the deputy head of the academy, and Xie Fengtang himself is also one of the two deputy masters of the training hall.
For this reason, the masters of the academy sometimes refer to the main and deputy masters as hall masters, because they themselves are subordinates of the training hall, but this is not what the students are qualified to call them.
At this moment, seeing Xie Fengtang suddenly appear, Tang Zheng was also busy bowing down: "I've seen the courtyard master." ”
"Get up. Xie Fengtang waved his hand, and an invisible energy had already supported Tang Zheng to get up.
At this time, Xin Yue said: "Hall Master, you just said that it was the method of returning to the origin? But this is a technique that can only be used in the Ordinary Realm, could it be that the students who broke into here are actually the students of my academy who are out of the Ordinary Realm?"
What is just an out-of-this-world student doing when he runs to a freshman's residence?
Is there anything worth stealing here?
Thinking of this, Xin Yue already looked at Tang Zheng suspiciously.
Tang Zheng looked indifferent, as if he didn't understand anything.
Xie Fengtang already said: "It's not clear whether the other party is a student of the moon washing, but the effect of the return to the source method is to return all objects to their original state, which means that the intruder does not want his arrival to be discovered......
Hearing this, Xin Si's eyes lit up: "That's right, isn't this intruder here to steal?"
As the masters of the academy, they actually didn't want this to happen, after all, it wasn't good to hear it.
When a person reaches a high position and has all the rights and interests, that is, a name, you should pay special attention to it.
Xie Fengtang said leisurely: "Maybe you just didn't find what you wanted." ”
Si Yue'er said: "No matter what the intention is, since the infiltrators of the Zhilu Dao have used the method of returning to the source, then check which students in the academy have learned this method, and then correspond to where they are at this time, and you should be able to find out who did it." Hmph, if you dare to do such a sneaky thing in the academy, you will definitely find it out, punish it severely, and drive it out of the academy!"
She's really passionate about driving people out.
Unexpectedly, Xie Fengtang replied: "No need to check, there are more than 10,000 students in the Moon Washing Academy, and there will be no more than five fingers who have learned this method." Even if there are a few, I guarantee that no matter which one you look up, you will find that they are innocent. ”
"Huh?" Si Yue'er said, "What is this for?"
Xie Fengtang sighed: "Yue'er, don't you always think about driving students away if you don't have anything to do in the future? Think about it, what kind of technique is the method of returning to the source, and what kind of people will learn it?"
Hearing this, Si Yue'er was stunned.
The method of returning to the source is a spell that returns objects to their original form, and it is precisely because they have no combat power and most of the academy disciples work hard to rush through the realm, so few people will learn this kind of spell.
The people who are really willing to learn are actually some people who hide in the shadows and perform special tasks.
This kind of person usually has to carry out secret infiltration missions, and it is best not to be discovered, learning this technique is quite useful, if it is not for the footprints found by Tang Zheng, after a long time, the remaining traces of aura on those objects will dissipate, even the immortals will not find it.
In the Moon Washing Academy, there are very few students who make this choice.
No, it's not nothing!
Si Yue'er's eyes lit up: "Could it be that it is a ...... of heaven?"
Xie Fengtang raised his hand and stopped her from speaking: "There is no evidence, don't guess." ”
Si Yue'er took a deep breath: "Yes, but I don't understand, if it's really them, why do you want to do this?"
"Then you'll have to ask him. Xie Fengtang had already looked at Tang Zheng: "What's your name?"
Tang Zheng immediately replied: "The student's name is Tang Zheng!"
Xie Fengtang originally asked casually, but he didn't expect to ask the name of Tang Zheng as soon as he asked.
Surprised, his face changed: "What did you say your name was?"
"Student Tang Zheng has seen the academy master!" Tang Zheng replied loudly, and he had already raised the score plate with his name printed on it.
Seeing the words on the score card, Xie Fengtang's face turned slightly pale: "It turned out to be Tang Zheng ......"
He glanced back, and a man had already handed over a roster, Xie Fengtang flipped through it a few times, and frowned: "Why don't you have information about this son?"
The man replied: "The information is incomplete, it should be someone who deliberately suppressed it." ”
Here Tang Zheng has replied: "Disciple Tang Zheng, a person from Qiongzhou, was killed by the slaughter of horse thieves in the wild valley, and entered the Wei Mansion three years ago. ”
Xie Fengtang was slightly stunned: "Qiongzhou, Yegu Yuan, entered the Wei Mansion three years ago, and ...... three years ago I see. ”
He nodded again and again, and a smile appeared on his face, which was not angry and arrogant.
Xin Yue and Si Yue'er didn't know what to do, and looked at Xie Fengtang together: "Hall Master, is there any problem?"
Xie Fengtang shook his head: "It's nothing, hehe, I really didn't expect ......"
He looked at Tang Zheng again, and he didn't speak, his eyes turned, his expression kept changing, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Tang Zheng was a little frightened by his gaze, and shrunk his neck: "Courtyard...... Master, did the little one do something wrong?"
Xie Fengtang's face changed for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "No, you didn't do anything wrong, on the contrary, you did a good job...... Very good!"
Tang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and said: "As soon as I came back, I saw the footprints of strangers, and I was a little frightened, so I shouted, but I didn't expect to alarm the courtyard master, and I won't make such a fuss in the future." ”
"It doesn't matter. Xie Fengtang patted Tang Zheng on the shoulder: "Anyway, someone did break in here, this matter was caused by the lax management of my Moon Washing Academy, and I, as the deputy master, are also responsible." ”
"Huh?" Xin Yue and Si Yue'er looked at Xie Fengtang in shock at the same time.
Xie Fengtang had already continued: "Since you have been frightened, the academy should naturally compensate you. ”
"Really?" Hearing this, Tang Zheng looked up happily.
"Of course, my deputy master of the academy, can I still deceive you?" Xie Fengtang laughed and said, "Say, what do you want?"
"That'...... Then I want the elixir to be used for cultivation, can I?" said Tang Zheng quickly.
"No problem. Xie Fengtang nodded directly: "I'll write a letter for you, you can go to the Wufang Pavilion by yourself, and get ten bottles of lower grade elixir according to your needs, and I will give you another thousand spirit money, talk about it, do you think it's good?"
"Okay, okay! Thank you, Master!" Probably stunned by this sudden benefit, Tang Zheng's whole body trembled with excitement, and he bowed to the end.
Ten bottles of low-grade elixir? 1,000 spirit money?
Xin Yue and Si Yue'er already looked at each other when they heard it, when did Xie Fengtang become so generous?
After appeasing Tang Zheng here, Xie Fengtang had already turned around and went out.
Just as he walked out, Tang Zheng shouted: "Courtyard Master, do you think those thieves will come again?"
Xie Fengtang listened to the footsteps, thought about it, turned around and smiled at Tang Zai: "There is this possibility, those thieves don't know what they fancy about you, and suddenly find you." If you can come for the first time, you can come for the second time. But you don't have to worry about ......."
Saying that, he turned his head to Xin Yue and Si Yue'er and said, "You go and call Zhao Xiliang and ask him to set up a formation here and guard this place." ”
"Array?" Xin Yue and Si Yue'er's eyes were about to pop out.
"That's right, set up the formation!" Xie Fengtang said with a straight face: "Since our students were frightened and were broken into, they naturally had to be protected. This thief is unpredictable, it is very likely that he will come again in the future, we naturally have to take precautions, and if you have something to do in the future, you should also pay attention to this place to avoid today's incident. My Moon Washing Academy is people-oriented, and convincing people with morality, otherwise how can the world's sects return to their hearts? ”
After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.
Si Yue'er couldn't believe it, and looked back at Xin Yue and said, "People-oriented? Convince people with virtue?"
Xin Yue shook his head with a heavy expression.
