MTL - Boneless Incense-Chapter 25

  Chapter 25

  Chapter 24

  Seeing the monk, Shen Mo frowned, and unconsciously let go of his hands. Jiang Xiaosi lost his support, the wheel slipped, and fell to the ground again with an ouch, rubbing his buttocks with a sad face.

Shen Mo was very calm: "Master Yixiu, it was my fault to take the purple seal from the Zhenye Temple without asking, but it was also for catching ghosts and demons, and it was not used in a bad place. Once it is used up, I will use it Let Koudan send it back to you."

  Jiang Xiaosi lowered his head and covered his mouth and smiled secretly, Master Yixiu, hahaha!

   Yixiu waved his sleeve robe, threw something on the ground, and rolled forward for three and a half weeks. It was the purple seal that Jiang Xiaosi saw Shen Mo use to draw Ye Miao's soul last time.

   "This is totally fake!" Yixiu's face was full of anger. He didn't have the compassionate kindness and compassion of ordinary monks. His brows were broad, his aura was aggressive, and his eyes were very sharp.

   "Fake?" Both Shen Mo and Jiang Xiaosi were stunned.

  Jiang Xiaosi stretched out his hand to grab the seal and checked it carefully. It was indeed of high quality, but it was nothing compared to the shining purple seal that he saw last time, and the strokes of the seal were stiff. If it is in Shen Mo's hands, it is absolutely impossible not to recognize it. Assuming Master Yixiu didn't lie, there is only one possibility, that he was dropped by Shen Kodan.

  Shen Mo naturally also saw that the coat of arms was fake. As a person like Yixiu, he came all the way to Xingshi to inquire about his crimes, so it is absolutely impossible to fabricate it out of thin air.

   "Master, don't get angry. I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding about this matter. Go back with me first. I'll ask Koudan. Let's talk in detail."

   As he spoke, he turned and led Yixiu up the mountain.

  Jiang Xiaosi was thrown on the spot miserably. He wanted to get up and follow up, but he sprained his foot and was still wearing roller skates, so he couldn't stand up.

   "Professor!" she cried pitifully.

  Shen Mo turned his head and saw that she was still sitting in the middle of the road, which was very dangerous, so he had to turn back and pick her up.

   "I'm not a briefcase! Don't hold me again! It hurts! Be gentle, Master Teacher!" Jiang Xiaosi changed his words coquettishly, and protested dissatisfiedly, she wanted to be hugged by the princess!

  Shen Mo didn't care so much, he carried her back home.

   Monk Yixiu is very familiar with the surroundings, and it seems that this is not the first time he has come. Jiang Xiaosi estimated that when he came to look for Shen Mo at noon, Shen Mo was not there.

  Yixiu frowned as soon as he entered the door: "Why do you still burn this kind of incense, why bother telling yourself not to forget it."

  Shen Mo didn't seem to hear, Jiang Xiaosi stared at Yixiu curiously, wanting to know what was going on. Being thrown on the sofa by Shen Mo very unkindly, he could only bend down aggrievedly to untie his shoelaces.

   "Don't you have any other shoes?"

"It's all in the locker, and I was going to go straight home by skating." Jiang Xiaosi gritted his teeth slightly, the upper of the roller skates was too high, just enough to wrap around his ankle, rubbing left and right against the swollen place due to twisting, It hurts badly.

  Shen Mo found a pair of Shen Kodan's slippers for her from the shoe cabinet, knelt down and untied the complicated shoelaces for her, loosened them carefully, and then pulled her feet out of the roller skates.

  In the past, only her father would take care of her like this, but what is in front of her is not her father, but the very fierce professor who always scolds her! Jiang Xiaosi was dumbfounded, and he didn't dare to move at all, for fear of accidentally scaring away Shen Mo's tenderness at this moment.

  Yixiu stood aside, probably a little frightened, with the expression on his face as if he had eaten a dead fly.

  Shen Mo saw the little bunny on Jiang Xiaosi's white socks, and then suddenly realized that she is not Shen Koudan, and this is no longer the days when he brought a little girl to depend on each other many years ago, Shen Kodan has grown up.

   Standing up with a livid face, he went into the kitchen to make a cup of tea for Yixiu, and then fetched a bottle of tomato juice for Jiang Xiaosi from the refrigerator. There are quite a few left over from when Jiang Xiaosi used to come to him for dinner.

  He hesitated for a moment, but took a delicate small bottle from the side, poured some liquid into the tomato juice.

  Jiang Xiaosi drank the icy tomato juice happily, feeling that the professor suddenly became so considerate, and even opened the lid for her.

   Watching Shen Mo take out the mobile phone from his trouser pocket again, he felt very proud. He finally listened to what she said, and put the mobile phone on his body.

   "Call Koudan." Shen Mo said in the usual commanding tone.

  Jiang Xiaosi pursed his lips and dialed the phone, but he didn't expect a familiar voice to come from the other end.

"Hello?"

  Jiang Xiaosi was dumbfounded, he looked at the screen, he obviously did not dial the wrong number, how could it be his father who answered the call.

   "Hello, hello? It's not convenient for Koudan to answer the phone right now. Please call back later if you have anything to do."

   "Dad?"

  The other end of the phone was stunned: "Xiao Si! Why are you?"

   "I should ask this question! How could you be the one answering the phone?" Jiang Xiaosi roared, what is he doing with Shen Koudan?

   "I was dragged out by Kodan to drink with Qianlixiang, but she got drunk and fell asleep."

  Shen Mo covered her face with a layer of frost: "Wake her up with cold water!"

   "Kou Dan, wake up! Your uncle is looking for you!" Jiang Liu's call and Shen Koudan's sleep talking came from the other end of the phone.

   "Give her the phone!" Shen Mo took the phone from Jiang Xiaosi and said to Jiang Liu.

  Jiang Liu looked at Shen Koudan, who had changed his appearance into a middle-aged uncle this time. In his drunken dream, he was full of daughter's coquettish attitude.

   "Shen Kodan! How dare you drink again!" Shen Mo yelled into the phone.

The moment Shen Kodan heard Shen Mo's voice, she jumped up from the chair and looked around in panic, but she didn't see Shen Mo's figure. She thought she was dreaming, so she sighed and lay back on the chair again, planning to Keep sleeping.

   "Shen Koudan!" Another familiar scolding, Shen Koudan finally confirmed that he was not dreaming.

   "Yes, yes!" She hurriedly took the phone Jiang Liu handed her, "Uncle, what's the matter?"

   "Why is the purple seal you sent back to Zhenye Temple fake?"

"Fake?" Shen Kodan didn't wake up for a while, "What is a fake? How could it be fake? I stole it and sent it back in person. No one in the temple found it, and no one knew about it. There is a purple seal coat of arms!"

  Yixiu snorted coldly at the side.

Shen Mo said nothing, he knew that Yixiu, as the abbot of Zhenye Temple, couldn't lend him the purple seal coat of arms, so he turned a blind eye to let Shen Koudan steal it, otherwise, how could she take it? come out.

   "You come back first," Shen Mo hung up the phone, and began to think about who the oriole was hiding behind.

   An hour later, Jiang Liu and Shen Koudan came, and Shen Koudan was already refreshed, with no trace of drunkenness or smell of alcohol.

  Jiang Liu and Shen Mo met for the second time, but they still couldn't get rid of the feeling of repulsion in each other's hearts. They just nodded slightly as a greeting. On the contrary, the moment Jiang Liu and Yixiu looked at each other, Yixiu suddenly focused and his eyes were sharp. The small one is wrong, and the big one is even more wrong.

  Jiang Liudao was very calm, looking at him without dodging at all, with a polite smile on his face all the time.

   "Xiao Si, what's wrong with your foot?" Seeing Jiang Xiaosi, who was rarely quiet and obediently sitting on the sofa, and her swollen ankle, Jiang Liu sat beside her and examined it carefully.

   "It's okay, I accidentally twisted it while roller skating."

  Jiang Liu couldn't use mana to heal her in front of Shen Mo and Yixiu, so he asked Shen Mo for medicated oil to rub her.

   "Third Uncle." Shen Koudan whispered guiltyly. He was educated a lot when he was a child, but he is still afraid of him now.

  Shen Mo handed her the fake purple seal: "Is this the purple seal you sent back?"

   Shen Koudan took it over and took a look: "I don't know, it's always been packed in a box. I checked it carefully before going to Zhenye Temple. There is no problem. I didn't open it halfway after entering the temple."

  Shen Mo frowned: "You mean the chapter was dropped when you sent it back to Zhenye Temple?"

"How is it possible! I haven't left my body. It's impossible for someone to take something from me and come back from a holiday. I didn't find it. Besides, I didn't go at night, I went early in the morning. Taking advantage of the monks They are all doing morning class. Maybe it was stolen after I returned it to the temple?"

  Shen Mo shook his head, except for Shen Koudan, Yixiu would never let anyone else in. And given that the Zhenye Temple is as impenetrable as gold, if the thief can steal it from the temple, he doesn't have to take advantage of the time when Shen Koudan brings Zhang out.

   "Think about it carefully, is there anyone approaching you on the way, or is there any unusual situation."

   "At that time, the sky had already begun to light up. It is impossible for me to not notice someone approaching me, even if it is a ghost..." Shen Koudan froze for a moment, lost in thought.

   "I encountered a group of little ghosts fighting on the way, and dispersed them. They have no entity. If they are skilled, they may be able to steal it from me in the chaos. But demons and ghosts dare not touch the purple seal coat of arms!"

  Shen Mo shook his head again: "What if there are shikigami among them? There may be a master behind this matter. At least he knows the whereabouts of you stealing the purple seal. It seems that he has been coveting it for a long time."

  Yixiu couldn't help but frowned, "The purple seal coat of arms is a treasure of Buddhism. It can live or die. The consequences of this matter can be big or small."

   "Don't worry, master, since the purple seal was lost because of us, I will definitely get it back as soon as possible."

  Yixiu and Shen Mo have been friends for many years, so naturally they can trust him. The most important thing right now is to get Zhang back as soon as possible. He couldn't keep walking outside the temple without going back, he had to rely on Shen Mo.

   "Forget it, you have to find it before no one else in the temple finds out that the seal is missing. Also, make me a fake one to go back for business, this one is too inferior!"

  Yixiu threw the coat of arms on the table, Jiang Xiaosi couldn't help laughing.

  Shen Mo nodded: "Give me two days, master will stay here first."

  Shen Koudan hurriedly made amends: "I will investigate this matter immediately, and I must give the master an explanation."

   Then Jiang Liu held Jiang Xiaosi in his arms, and left with Shen Koudan.

  Jiang Xiaosi didn't speak all the way, Jiang Liu was a little strange.

   "Xiao Si, what's the matter? Are your feet still hurting?"

   "No, I was thinking about something."

"What's up?"

   "I don't know either. It seems that I have forgotten something very important. I can't remember it."

  Jiang Xiaosi suddenly felt a little cold in the corner of his eyes, and when he touched it with his hand, a tear fell down.

   "Who are Jiang Liu and Jiang Xiaosi?" Yixiu asked Shen Mo.

"Jiang Xiaosi is my student, and Jiang Liu is her father. He opened a shop in the downtown area of ​​the city, specializing in ghost business, and his body is more or less tainted with corpse or evil. I know the doubts in Master's heart. I felt the same way when I first met them both.”

  Yixiu shook his head, still something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.

   "Has anyone else gone to Zhenye Temple recently to try to steal the purple seal?"

"No. It will lead to disaster. The purple seal is hidden in Zhenye Temple and has always been the biggest secret in the temple. Few people know it. After all, although everyone is afraid of ghosts, everyone wants them. The seal has not been opened yet. If such a powerful force is unleashed and used in a bad place, the world may suffer another catastrophe."

  Shen Mo thought of the massacre of ghosts many years ago, and his mouth was a little dry: "I always feel that he is not dead yet..."

   "Shen Mo, it's all in the past, why can't you let it go."

"You don't understand, it was too easy in the end. He has already made that step, how could he lose to me so easily in the end? I always think he won't die so easily, so I must never forget that I can't lose my vigilance again, let The past repeats itself."

  Yixiu shook his head and changed the topic: "Isn't it a big problem to imitate seals?"

   "Well, the most important thing is the material. I don't have any good jade here, so I'll look for it tomorrow."

  Jiang Xiaosi knocked for a long time, after confirming that Shen Mo was not at home rather than not opening the door for her, he took out his mobile phone and tentatively called him.

   It rang for a long time, and just when Jiang Xiaosi was about to give up, he got through.

  Shen Mo's hard and cold voice came from the microphone.

"explain."

   "Mentor! Are you alone? Have you learned to answer the phone?" Jiang Xiaosi was a little excited.

   Shen Mo asked impatiently: "What's the matter?"

  Did she think he was a pig? She posted such a big pink heart on his phone, couldn't he see it?

   "Where are you? I'm at your door. I don't know if you've found any jade stones for the purple seal. I have a lot of them there, so I picked some for you... Hey, hey?"

  Jiang Xiaosi frowned, and was depressed because Shen Mo hung up her phone halfway through her speech, when he saw Shen Mo's figure appearing on the path hidden by the bamboo forest.

   "Mentor!" Jiang Xiaosi ran over, holding a box in his hand.

  Seeing her walking like flying, Shen Mo couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and sneered: "Your foot healed really quickly."

"Yes, it's the teacher's medicine!" Jiang Xiaosi smiled awkwardly. He couldn't say that because he was half a zombie, although he was not invulnerable, his recovery speed was several times that of ordinary people, plus he had his father. Understand medicine and spells.

   "Master Yixiu." She handed the box to Shen Mo.

   "I went to a nearby Buddhist temple to visit friends." Shen Mo opened it and looked at the jade inside, it was indeed better than the one he found, and that's right, he forgot what kind of business his family was in.
