Evil Master and Disciple

Before Ye Feng took out the wine bowl, Xu Kai had already held the wine jar and started drinking it with his head tilted back.

This poor young man seemed to realize that he had been deceived and became a chess piece in the hands of others, destined to be discarded.

He drank half a jar of liquor in one breath, but his stomach didn't get bloated. Instead, his pale cheeks quickly turned red.

He was holding a jar of wine and sitting on the stone bed in a somewhat dejected manner.

"Tell me, what do you want to know?"

Because Xu Kai's meridians were blocked at this moment, he was like an ordinary person and could not use his true energy to force out the smell of alcohol. He was already drunk.

Ye Feng said calmly: "Who killed me half a year ago?"

"It's Senior Brother." Xu Kai said hoarsely.

Ye Feng frowned, obviously Xu Kai's answer was beyond his expectation.

Ye Feng said slowly: "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Well... most of what I said last time was true. I was secretly following you and saw you place a fairy mushroom in front of a little girl's door, and then escape into the dense forest east of the zoo.

I took the letter you left for that little girl and chased after her, but I didn't kill you. Instead, I took you away to meet Lin Yi and Senior Brother Changkong.

You and Senior Brother Changkong were drinking together, and Senior Brother Changkong secretly poisoned your drink.

Senior Brother Changkong said the poison you were infected with is called Soul-Breaking Sorrow, and it's practically incurable. Your cultivation isn't high, so the poison will take effect quickly.

Senior Brothers Lin Yi and Changkong personally examined your body. After confirming that you had passed away, Senior Brother Changkong left. Senior Brother Lin Yi instructed me to bury your body in the mass grave behind Luoxia Peak, so I took you away.

"Oh……"

Ye Feng fell into deep thought.

How could it be Dugu Changkong?

Logically speaking, there was no need for Dugu Changkong to kill the original owner.

Just spend a little money to buy off that greedy and lustful guy.

And even if Changkong wanted to kill him, there was no need for him to do it himself, especially in front of Lin Yi and Xu Kai? !

This is so unreasonable.

Ye Feng pondered and said, "What did Dugu Changkong and I talk about that night?"

Xu Kai shook his head and said, "I don't know. Lin Yi and I are some distance away from you two and can't hear your conversation."

"Oh……"

Ye Feng said "oh" again, touched his chin with his hand, and frowned into the shape of a "川" character.

Unreasonable, very unreasonable.

All his previous speculations were based on the fact that the original owner did not die at the hands of Dugu Changkong.

Now it seems that all previous speculations have been overturned.

Ye Feng looked at Xu Kai who was drinking again and asked, "Are you lying to me?"

Xu Kai laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Look at me now. Do I really need to lie to you? This is the last secret I have left."

"Well, that's true. Senior Brother Xu, can you tell me why you took the blame for killing me on behalf of Senior Brother?"

"Many years ago, when I was still an outer sect disciple, I was taken care of by the eldest senior brother. It was also with the eldest senior brother's recommendation that I was fortunate enough to become a disciple of my mentor, Yu Chenzi. I can do anything for the eldest senior brother, including dying for him."

Ye Feng nodded, then asked, "If that's the case, why are you confessing today that it was Senior Brother who poisoned me?"

Xu Kai glanced at him and said, "Because I suspect that what I saw that night was not the real Big Brother."

"Uh? Senior Brother, don't you know me yet?" Ye Feng was a little puzzled.

Xu Kai said: "Maybe someone disguised themselves."

"Disguise?" Ye Feng was stunned.

In the past, I had often seen scenes of disguise in movies, TV dramas and novels.

Especially Wang Lianhua in Gu Long's novel "Wulin Waishi", Ye Feng still remembers her superb disguise skills.

When he came to this world, he had never heard of the art of disguise, so Ye Feng ignored this point.

If the Dugu Changkong that night was someone else in disguise, then many things could be explained.

Ye Feng asked, "Senior Brother Xu, why do you suspect that the eldest senior brother that night was not the eldest senior brother himself?"

Xu Kai said: "Regarding what happened that night, I have always had some doubts in my heart. Killing you to silence you is very simple. There are many ways to dispose of a corpse. A few drops of corpse-dissolving water can make you completely disappear from this world.

But Lin Yi said that considering you were the eldest disciple of Sixth Uncle, he wanted to leave your body intact, and asked me to bury you in a mass grave.

Although your cultivation level is not high, your status in the Yunhai Sect is very high. Since we have killed you, it is absolutely impossible for us to leave any clues for tracing, let alone leaving your body behind.

You are right, I, Xu Kai, am a fool, a pitiful man, an idiot who can be pushed out and silenced at any time.

Lin Yi left your body intact, probably because he wanted to use it to track me down and eventually pin the blame on Senior Brother."

Ye Feng had to look at Xu Kai with new respect.

After being locked up in this place for so many days, not only did he not go crazy, his thinking is still so sharp.

Xu Kai's words solved many mysteries in Ye Feng's mind.

It also solved the mystery in the minds of many readers: why do monks kill people and leave the bodies behind?

Ye Feng knew that what Xu Kai said today should be his last bit of practical advice.

He nodded and said, "Brother Xu, thank you for telling me the truth today. I don't have much to give you in return. I still have dozens of jars of wine on me, so I'll leave them to you."

Ye Feng took out all the wine from the black silk bracelet and piled it in the corner of the secret room.

Then he bowed to Xu Kai and turned to leave.

"Ye Feng..."

Ye Feng stopped and said, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

"It's not a pity for me, Xu Kai, to die. I only regret being used by others to harm my senior brother. You... must not let those people go, especially that Lin Yi."

Ye Feng said: "This matter is very serious, and it is not something that a junior disciple like me can decide. However, I can tell you that the head master will not show mercy to these people."

"That's good." Xu Kai showed a faint smile.

Ye Feng and Miss Mo Zhu walked out of the secret room and came to the front of the ancestral hall. The spirit tablet placed in front of the altar had disappeared.

The old ancestor was still sitting in front of the table sipping tea, Shen Tianqi was in a daze in front of the door, and Little Green Hair was squatting on the large table, holding an apple and chewing it.

Ye Feng asked, "Where is my spirit tablet?"

Ye Fuyou said: "I'll keep it for you first."

"No, no... Since that spiritual tablet is so important, I plan to hand it over to the headmaster in person."

"The spirit tablet is not safe with you. I will hand it over to the Sect Leader."

"Then you must remember to tell the headmaster that I was the one who found the spiritual tablet. It would be best if you describe the experience in a more tortuous way, such as escaping death by the skin of your teeth, not fearing powerful enemies, and fighting the enemy for 30,000 rounds!

Maybe if the head master is happy, he can even give me some gifts!"

Dugu Chan rolled his eyes and said, "You are really greedy. Fine, I will talk to the Sect Leader."

Ye Feng chuckled.

Then he asked, "Grandfather, you are knowledgeable and experienced. Do you know that there is a technique called disguise in the world?"

"Are you asking about the changes in the divine form?"

"A thousand forms of transformation? Can you change into someone else's appearance?"

"Well, the Divine Form can change at will, including taking on the appearance of someone else."

"Oh, do you know who in our Yunhai Sect knows this secret technique?"

Dugu Chan said, "There shouldn't be many people who understand the art of transformation. Over three hundred years ago, I taught it to your third uncle. If you want to learn more about it, it would be best to ask him."

"Third Uncle? The God of War?"

"Yeah." Dugu Chan nodded slightly.

"I'll go find Third Uncle..."

Ye Feng was about to leave, but then he stopped and turned to look at Dugu Chan.

"Grandfather, you just said that Third Uncle's ability to transform into various forms and spirits was taught by you, old man?"

"Well, I taught him."

A visibly obscene and weird smile appeared on Ye Feng's cheek.

Under the astonished gazes of Shen Tianqi and Miss Mozhu, the boy made a beautiful sliding tackle on the ground with his knees without even a running start.

He knelt down and slid to the side of Dugu Chan. His movements were smooth and graceful without any delay. It was obvious that he was a veteran!

Ye Feng reached out and patted Dugu Chan's old, cold legs, saying with a flattering look on his face, "Grandfather, my dearest and most beloved grandfather, we are so familiar with each other, and I often make delicious food for you... Look at you, you are so old, the earth is buried up to your neck, and you might just roll your eyes and kick your legs and die one day...

It doesn't matter if you die, but what will you do if you have no one to carry on your skills?

I am not only diligent and studious, but also very smart. I am a five-good young man with all-round development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor.

Grandfather, it’s still early today. I think we can sit down and talk about the ever-changing spirits and forms…”

Shen Tianqi was stunned.

Today she finally saw what shamelessness, disrespect, and complete lack of moral integrity meant.

The flattering look on this boy's face at this moment is simply disgusting.

You said you want to ask for help, so just ask for help.

Why are the things you said so offensive?

What does it mean to roll your eyes and kick your legs?

Aren’t you afraid that the senior will break your legs?

Shen Tianqi couldn't help but cover his forehead even through the veil.

San Zhier had long been accustomed to Ye Feng's unscrupulous behavior. He gnawed on the sacrificial fruit on the altar with a grunt, not at all disturbed by Ye Feng's behavior.

Miss Mozhu, like Shen Tianqi, was in a state of confusion.

Dugu Chan said calmly, "The ability to change form and spirit is just a small trick. Why do you want to learn it?"

"That's Sun Wukong's 72 transformations! Of course I have to learn it! Even if I have to skip meals!"

"Sun Wukong? Seventy-two transformations?" Dugu Chan was a little confused.

Ye Feng massaged his shoulders and poured him tea, as attentive as a son-in-law who was visiting his father-in-law's house for the first time.

Seeing Ye Feng was so eager to learn, Dugu Chan said, "I'll think about it."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng knew that this matter was possible.

He said, "Grandfather, I'm such an outstanding genius, what are you still thinking about? Time waits for no one, and youth is bleeding! You don't know how dangerous I am right now. I was ambushed by a killer today! If I learn the art of changing my form and spirit, my safety will be much more guaranteed! Will you teach me now?"

Dugu Chan smiled bitterly and said, "Brat, let me tell you, although the Divine Form Transformation Technique doesn't have much offensive power, it's not easy to practice. It requires a lot of hard work."

Ye Feng immediately showed off his not-so-strong biceps.

"I, Ye Feng, was born to endure hardships! If I don't endure hardships for a day, I will feel uncomfortable all over!"

Seeing Ye Feng so persistent, Dugu Chan no longer refused.

To him, the art of changing one's form and spirit was just an insignificant little trick, far less important than the Three Swords of God-Slaying. So it didn't matter if he passed it on to Ye Feng.

I have to say that Shen Tianqi is a smart girl with good fate with immortals.

Without saying a word of flattery, he took advantage of Ye Feng's gigolo status and stood at the gate of the ancestral hall, like a statue, listening quietly.

The cultivation formula for the transformation of the divine form was a thousand words long. Dugu Chan only said it once, and Shen Tianqi remembered it all by heart.

Ye Feng, this brat, only remembered a few things and pestered the old man to repeat them.

Dugu Chan said impatiently, "My time is precious. If you don't remember everything, then let your girl copy it down for you."

Only then did Ye Feng remember that Shen Tianqi was still in the ancestral hall.

He turned around and said, "Shen Tianqi, you memorized all these difficult cultivation formulas after just one listen?"

Shen Tianqi finally spoke, saying calmly, "This isn't difficult."

"What? That's not difficult? I have a photographic memory! Come on, let's talk for a moment!"

Ye Feng stopped pestering the old ancestor, grabbed Shen Tianqi's soft little hand and walked out of the ancestral hall.

Shen Tianqi was grabbed by Ye Feng's hand, feeling a little dazed, his mind going blank.

When she regained consciousness, Ye Feng had already taken her to the bamboo villa north of the ancestral hall.

Ye Feng took out a pen and paper, rubbing his hands together, and said with a flattering smile, "Shen Tianqi, oh no, Shenxianzi, Shenjiejie... I'm not very smart, and I didn't remember all the cultivation formulas when the ancestor was reciting them just now. Can you please move your jade hands and help me copy them down?"
