Chapter 12 Questions and Answers between Master and Apprentice
"Qi Jingzhi, do you still remember why I gave you this name?"

"Students remember! Qi Jing means solemn and respectful. The master named me Jingzhi to encourage students to be sincere, respect heaven and the ancestors, behave properly, and be worthy of admiration!"

Facing Mr. Meng's sharp knife-like gaze, the young man replied solemnly, as if a ball of fire was beating in his eyes.

He looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar teacher in front of him, and felt that all the thoughts in his heart were clearly visible under the other's eyes, and he could no longer hide them.

Qi Jingzhi didn't want to hide it either.

He gritted his teeth and said: "The yamen servant Chen Er used the tiger servant to coerce and extort bribes. Grandpa and I have no money left. How can we feed him? It looks like a family is ruined! I tried it out and found that he was making his own decisions. , without any accomplices, he simply stabbed Zhang and buried him in the mountains!"

Meng Fuzi's expression remained unchanged when he heard the words, his eyes were still sharp and stern, pointing directly at people's hearts: "Is what you said true?"

"Every word is true, there is absolutely no falsehood! The student's knife is bloody, and he has no shame in his heart!"

Qi Jingzhi replied resolutely: "This matter was done by me alone, Grandpa didn't know from the beginning to the end."

"There is still a bit of responsibility!"

Meng Fuzi sneered, and pressed the young man's shoulder: "Follow me!"

The next moment, Qi Jingzhi felt a strong force coming from his shoulders, and his whole body was almost lifted off the ground.

This level of strength is not much worse than that of Dong Mao, the envoy from Jinyun.

Meng Fuzi lifted his feet and walked away, obviously still pacing, but as fast as ordinary people running.

Qi Jingzhi was astonished, but he didn't dare to struggle at all, he hurriedly took steps, and finally ran away.

But in a short while, the two had already arrived outside the Meng Family Private School.

Master Meng dragged Qi Jingzhi into the courtyard gate, and said to the dozen or so Mongolian children who were sitting neatly in the room: "I have something to do today, and I have a half-day holiday, so hurry up and go!"

A group of children looked at each other for a while, with surprise on their faces, stood up hastily, saluted Master Meng in a random manner, and ran out the door after me.

Normally, these children would inevitably be reprimanded and even spanked, but today, although Master Meng kept a cold face the whole time, he didn't say anything.

After the children had left, the door of the private school suddenly closed automatically without any wind, and it closed with a bang.

Master Meng pointed to the bamboo cage in the young man's hand, and then went into the house on his own.

Qi Jingzhi looked at the back of the other party walking into the house, and suddenly felt uneasy for no reason.

Even if he has no guilt in his heart, killing is killing, and breaking the law is breaking the law!
Facing Dong Mao who was shouting and killing, Qi Jingzhi still had a firm heart and did not change his face, but when he walked into this private school, facing the teacher he loved since childhood, this 15-year-old boy seemed to have changed back to the past. The child who practiced writing stroke by stroke.

"What are you still doing?" Meng Fuzi urged in the room.

Qi Jingzhi collected himself, put the bamboo cage down against the courtyard wall, and walked in quickly.

Master Meng was already sitting behind the desk, ignored the young man, but looked up at the beam, and asked in a dignified tone that the young man had never heard before, "Where is the day tour?"

It was almost his words that fell, and a voice in midair responded: "Yes! I have seen the company!"

Qi Jingzhi was taken aback, and raised his head to look around, but saw that the beams of the house were empty, and there was nothing there.

Meng Fuzi asked again: "Has the spirit of violent death returned to Xiaosongshan recently?"

After he asked this question, he suddenly turned his face to Qi Jingzhi, with a serious expression and eyes like lightning.

The young man was startled, and then Fu Zhi replied in his heart: "It happened yesterday morning. It was on the short slope outside the mountain pass in the east of Shanqian Village."

The voice in mid-air was silent for a while, and then it sounded again: "Reporting to the company, the head of the second division of the quick report, the picket, and the officials of the Yin and Yang Division have all asked. There was no death in Shanqian Village yesterday."

Hearing the reply, Master Meng groaned for a while, and said again: "At present, there is no mountain god in Xiaosong Mountain, and the underworld of the Shenfu has been abandoned for a long time, and there is only an old mandrill left to guard the gate, and all the newly dead spirits under the rule are taken care of by the City God. Go and see, is the old Mandrill still there? Is there any abnormality from Xiaosongshan to the underworld in Yinsi of this county? Are there ghosts breeding and wandering along the way, and they have not been arrested?"

"The company will wait a moment, and the humble official will go and see immediately."

After all, the voice fell silent again.

"That's weird... That Chen Er has a lot of bad deeds, even I have heard of it, he must have a lot of karma. He died suddenly, and the dead spirit must go to the underworld to await trial, and now he is missing?"

As he said that, Master Meng looked at Qi Jingzhi again, with a puzzled look on his face: "Although you have the aura of blood and evil spirits, you don't have any signs of ghosts haunting you. It seems that Chen Er never turned into a ghost to haunt you. "

Qi Jingzhi met the other party's gaze, and felt that he was facing two bright lamps that lit up the dark room, illuminating him brightly inside and out, as if all thoughts had nowhere to hide.

The next moment, he heard the master of the yang world and the god of the underworld asking majestically and profoundly: "Chen Er has never caused trouble, but you said earlier that ghosts and gods are face to face and cannot be avoided. It can be seen that there are sneaky and insidious things." Keep it from me... tell me!"

"It's not that the students deliberately lied, it's that they didn't report it in a hurry."

Qi Jingzhi explained a sentence, and then said: "After I killed Chen Er, I saw a skeleton exposed in the wilderness. I couldn't bear it, so I buried it together."

"Unexpectedly, that night, a faceless man who claimed to be a soul came to him, and he kept saying that he wanted to repay his great favor. As long as I made offerings with spiritual blood, he would help me fulfill all my wishes. He also said that he had killed Chen Er's dead soul The food is properly cooked, and the future troubles will be completely eliminated..."

The young man didn't mention the small bronze mirror, and he said that everyone is innocent and guilty. Before he really understands the value of the mirror and his current situation, it is natural that the fewer people who know, the better, even if it is a teacher he trusts very much. also the same.

Hearing this, Master Meng froze for a moment, and then said with a little annoyance: "Why didn't I mention such an important matter when I ordered Ri You to investigate it just now? It was a waste of my time!"

Although he said this, his expression was obviously much lighter, and he was no longer as solemn and dignified as before.

The originally gloomy and majestic atmosphere in the house, like a trial in a court, disappeared all of a sudden.

Qi Jingzhi suddenly felt relaxed, as if the invisible shackles had been removed.

With a smile on his face, he said embarrassingly: "Master drives ghosts and gods, orders and prohibits, what a majesty that is, how dare the students interrupt indiscriminately..."

Master Meng glared at the young man, and said angrily: "Don't do this! It's a teacher-student relationship after all. I know you have always been proud and arrogant, and you hate flattering others. Now who are you showing such a face?" look?"

Qi Jing was startled, quickly put away his smiling face, bowed and said: "Master, please teach me a lesson!"

"I have a few words to tell you."

Master Meng stood up from his seat, took two steps in the room, looked sideways at the young man and said, "You have also seen that although I am a yang body, I have become a yin official. The god who is in charge of the department. The laws of the world and the laws of the underworld seem to be interlinked, but in fact they are very different, so the matter of your murder...is not my business!"

Qi Jingzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, but his face was still solemn, without showing the slightest abnormality.

Seeing this, Master Meng snorted, and said with admiration and sarcasm: "You can accomplish things with your heart, but it's hard to say whether you are loyal or treacherous."

He didn't wait for the young man to respond, and changed the subject: "Today, you ask Lu Ao first and then the ghosts and gods. It seems that this soul is the root of it. Tell me, it promises you all kinds of benefits, are you tempted? "
