"Director Liu is looking for Jin!"
Yang Zhen came to such a conclusion, not based on speculation, he had his own inference.
When he first met Zhu Shiya in the Junguan Prison, there was a question that kept lingering in his mind.
"How can a mere fourth-level qi practitioner from the Jin family with a child escape being chased and intercepted by more than twenty monks, including two foundation builders?"
"One day, one night, three hundred miles away, how did she hide it from Zhu's family?"
Someone must be helping her secretly!
This person's cultivation level cannot be too low, at least he must be in the foundation building stage.
It's just that with Yang Zhen's knowledge and cultivation at that time, there was no way to find such a person.
What should he be?
County view? impossible! Zhao family? impossible! Blessings to the family? Unlikely. Other families? possible.
But now, when Taoist Master Liu resurfaced, Yang Zhen suddenly discovered that this person was the most likely!
His search for more than half a year must have been looking for the Jin family.
Even that month ago, he excitedly took Tiezhu to the sky because he found out the whereabouts of the Jin family!
As for him leaving just on the day of Jin's death, this is better explained. Since I have already met the Jin family, there is no need to stay in Xuyang.
Although these inferences cannot be 100% confirmed, Yang Zhen has a vague feeling that this should be the truth and is absolutely indispensable.
What needs to be understood now is:
Why is this person looking for Jin?
After meeting Jin, did he achieve his goal?
Did Jin die at his hands?
This last question made Yang Zhen's whole body tense up, and the tea cup in her hand gradually became an oval, but he didn't care at all.
Although Jin is not his mother in the true sense, if she really dies in the hands of this person, he will never let her go in the future!
Yang Zhen frowned and continued to think.
Slowly, he came to a new judgment.
The first question is, this person is looking for the Jin family. In fact, what he is really looking for is probably the Yang family.
The Jin family was born a commoner, so he should have no secrets about himself.
On the other hand, the Yang family has a true god of transformation, who may have some family inheritance or some secret treasure.
Speaking of family inheritance, Yang Zhen immediately thought of the [Five Elements Body Training Technique] and the [Five Elements Mending Heaven Sutra].
Is it related to these two exercises?
However, [Five Elements Body Strengthening Technique], Xiling Patriarch said that there are more than a hundred similar exercises in sects, which is not unusual.
What about [Five Elements Mending Heaven Sutra]? How valuable can a technique that almost no one can master be of great value!
Can't figure it out.
Maybe there are other reasons! This can only be determined by finding Taoist Liu.
Similarly, the second question, since Jin is dead and Xiao Shitou is possessed by him, whether Taoist Liu has achieved his goal can only be asked in the future.
However, Yang Zhen intuitively felt that he might not have succeeded. Otherwise, if he was silenced after success, with his cultivation, he could directly kill the Jin family and Xiao Shitou at that time, and Yang Zhen would not even have a chance to travel through time.
And if the mouth was not silenced, then why did the Jin family die again?
It's such a fog, what a headache.
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore!
What really made him hesitate was another question:
Zhou Yuan is also looking for Daochang Liu. Do I want to cooperate with him?
Should he be allowed to find Tiezhu?
If we cooperate, the advantage is that we may be able to find Taoist Master Liu with his help, but since my cultivation level is low now, what's the use of finding this person?
Moreover, since I can infer that Daochang Liu's goal is the Yang family, this person is also possible.
By that time, will I be implicated?
What if there is no cooperation?
He will definitely try his best to find the iron pillar. This is equivalent to having a time bomb next to him, which may also implicate himself.
The pros and cons are difficult to explain clearly and need to be weighed repeatedly.
It’s nerve-wracking!
For the first time, Yang Zhen found that her brain was a little weak.
Finally, he made a decision.
First, go back and see Zhao Liyu and ask if Jin really died in a pack of wolves.
Second, don't be busy cooperating with Zhou Yuan for the time being, let alone push Tie Zhu out, wait and see what happens, and see how this person behaves in the future.
But if Zhou Yuan, or others sent by Wei Biao, follow their own lead and find Aunt Fu, and then find Chen Fugui, they will probably find out about a man with a purple face from the mouths of people around Fangshi. The boy once stayed here.
Thinking about it this way, Tie Zhu can no longer stay in this place.
After thinking about this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Tiezhu.
Seeing that Yang Zhen was silent and lost in thought, Tie Zhu didn't dare to speak. He just bowed his head and drank tea beside him.
Seeing Yang Zhen looking at him at this moment, she quickly raised her head.
"Would you like to follow me to Yunya Town after spring starts?" Yang Zhen smiled brightly.
"I listen to you." Tie Zhu replied naively.
…
It was already dusk that day when Yang Zhen returned to Zhao Mansion in Chuoyang.
He first went to Shuiheng Courtyard to hang out with Zhao Yue'er for a while, and then he heard that Zhao Liyu happened to be a guest in the Zhao Mansion, so he hurriedly went there.
In a quiet study room, Yang Zhen asked Zhao Liyu to sit down. After a few words of greeting, she went straight to the topic.
"Brother Zhao, Senior Yu personally dealt with the place where my mother died that day?"
"Yes. Why are you asking about this today?" Zhao Liyu asked strangely.
"It's nothing," Yang Zhen explained: "I just recently listened to the senior brothers introducing illusions in the sect. I thought, could what the hunter saw at that time be an illusion? In fact, my mother did not die from wolves?"
"Why do you have such an idea?" Zhao Liyu was even more surprised.
"My mother is at the fourth level of qi training and has a first-level high-grade magic weapon in her hand. Even if she is not good at fighting, how can she not be able to fight against a group of inferior demon wolves?" Yang Zhen explained all the doubts in her heart.
"Brother Yang!" Zhao Liyu put down the tea cup in his hand and sighed: "I can understand your mood, but Ling Ci did die in the mouth of the demon wolf. Regarding this matter, Senior Yu's record at that time is absolutely correct!"
Seeing that Yang Zhen still wanted to argue, he waved his hand and continued: "Senior Yu has been dealing with monsters for many years. He can still tell clearly whether he died in the fight with monsters or not. Besides, there is also a dead demon wolf at the scene, and the traces and strength of the sword wounds are also consistent with the Qingyue sword and Ling Ci's cultivation."
His words were so conclusive that Yang Zhen no longer dwelled on the matter. The two chatted for a while and then parted ways.
…
The next day, Yang Zhen waited until dusk before leisurely going to the residence of the beggars.
Two days and one night, if something happens, it's time to make some noise.
The gate to the yard opened, and a beggar sat on the threshold. His newly bought shoes and socks were put aside, and he was digging at his feet.
Yang Zhen remembered that this person was called Huang Youtian, and he was one of the two illiterate people.
He walked over and coughed lightly.
The man looked up nonchalantly and saw Yang Zhen. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up and looked around for shoes with both feet.
"Sir," the man said with a smile on his face, "you are here!"
After saying that, he reached out his hands to help.
Yang Zhen immediately dodged and entered the courtyard first.
