The three of them were stunned when they heard Miao Shi's words. They originally thought this was a simple incident caused by a strange thing.
An eleven or twelve-year-old boy with an immature mind got a magic pen by chance, and then his desire began to expand, and he used this magic pen to cause a series of troubles.
However, looking back now, I'm afraid things are not as simple as they appear.
The person who gave Miao Shi the magic pen actually knew the existence of Si Tianjian and obviously knew what Si Tianjian did. However, he still chose to give the magic pen to Miao Shi under Si Tianjian's eyes.
What is his purpose for doing this?
Are you going to play house with Miao Shi?
For this reason, he would not hesitate to sacrifice a seemingly powerful monster. Is this of any benefit to him?
In addition, is Ma Liang's disappearance also related to him? Where is Ma Liang now, alive or dead?
Although the three of them caught the initiators of the four small cases, the questions in their hearts did not decrease, but instead became more.
Yan Yun asked Miao Shi, "Do you still remember the name and appearance of the person who gave you the magic pen?"
Miao Shi shook his head, "I met that immortal by the river. He came on a cloud and was in the clouds. I couldn't see his appearance clearly, but I could tell from his voice that he must be quite old. As for the name, I asked, but he just laughed and didn't answer.
"Then a pen dropped from the cloud and told me that he saw that I was quite talented in painting, so he gave me a magic pen."
"Then what?" Xia Huai asked, "Did he tell you what he wanted you to do with such a pen?"
"He didn't say," Miao Shi said. "After I got the pen, I was actually a little skeptical, thinking that such a good thing would never happen in the world, but after I drew the stool, I became convinced."
After speaking, he glanced at Lu Jing and the others, and begged, "That's all I know. I've told you everything. Please let me go."
Lu Jing didn't answer, just stretched out a hand.
Miao Shi had a tangled look on his face when he saw this, and seemed to want to bargain, "You, do any of you know how to paint? Only people who are good at painting can use this money. Why don't you keep it with me? What do you need in the future?" , I can draw anything for you.”
"No, your painting doesn't look very good either." Lu Jing said.
"I, I can learn again." Miao Shi pleaded.
Although it was only a month, he had already tasted the sweetness that this magic pen brought to him, the feeling that could turn everything upside down. Next, he planned to use this pen to deal with his two brothers.
And if he loses the magic pen, he will be the unpopular youngest son of a landlord again, which is a bit difficult for him to accept.
"Don't feel sad. According to Si Tianjian's rules, someone will treat you to a guest tea later. After drinking it, you won't remember this at all, and naturally you won't feel the pain of losing your pen."
Lu Jing reached out and patted the young man's shoulder to comfort him, but the latter's face turned pale after hearing this.
But the situation was stronger than the person. No matter how reluctant he was to give up, he finally had to take out the brush from his arms and handed it to Lu Jing's hand.
Lu Jing originally wanted to search the nearby ten miles with Yan Jun and Xia Huai to find Ma Liang's whereabouts, but he did not expect that Huang Supervisor and Professor Zheng had already walked over from the entrance of the village.
Huang Jianyuan still had that Chinese-character face, and he looked calm and calm. However, next to him, Professor Zheng, who usually had a friendly look on his face, was rarely really angry this time.
His face was livid, and there was a solemn look in his eyes.
Lu Jing noticed that both Supervisor Huang and Professor Zheng were a little disheveled, as if they had just had sex with someone, and there was a footprint on Professor Zheng's chest.
However, the two obviously did not intend to explain what happened.
Huang Jianyuan just took the pen from Lu Jing's hand, without looking at it carefully, and hurriedly put it into his arms, and then nodded to the three of them.
"You did a good job this time and solved the last question, so you are the first, second, and third place in this competition. As for who takes the top spot..."
"Lu Jing," Yan Yun said without hesitation, "he came later than me, but he noticed Ma Liang first, and he knew early on that the strange object this time was a pen, so the top spot in this competition should be Lu Jing.”
Lu Jing felt a little ashamed when he heard this. He had received a lot of credit from Ma Liang this time.
He was preconceived and focused his investigation on Ma Liang just by hearing his name. Although the final result was quite different from the story he had heard before, several key points including the magic pen were ignored by him. Got it right.
This gave Yan Yun a feeling of knowing everything.
Then Xia Huai also said, "I'm actually only halfway through the investigation. I'm purely here to help this time, so I should be at the bottom."
"Well, Professor Zheng and I think so too. Since you have no objections to this, the final result will be decided as such." Huang Supervisor finally made the decision.
After a pause, he added, "Go back to the academy. I have sent someone to send the message to other candidates by messenger. When everyone arrives, you can choose the prize for this competition... Choose carefully, today There are a lot of good things in it."
The three of them looked at each other after hearing this, and finally Yan Yun spoke and reminded, "Huang Jianyuan, Painter Ma is still missing, and the immortal who gave the pen..."
"I know," Huang Supervisor said, "You have done what the academy wants you to do. You have found out what happened to the four cases in the file, and you have also found... that thing. As for the next step Someone in Sitian Prison will handle the matter, so you don’t have to worry about it anymore."
Lu Jing's heart stirred, and he noticed the words used by Huang Jianyuan, referring to that thing, not the strange thing.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he may be a little bit wordy. After all, both Huang Supervisor and Professor Zheng look a little preoccupied at the moment. It is normal for him to miss a sentence or a half. However, Lu Jing can't help but think of Amu. Go on your body.
The little wooden mannequin was inexplicably ignored by the Pixiu in the Star Observation Tower before. The latter bypassed it and only judged the black cat above its head. Therefore, Lu Jing also doubted the identity of the little wooden mannequin afterwards. .
Just because of the lack of clues and not wanting to attract attention, the matter could only be temporarily put aside. Until tonight, Lu Jing thought about it again.
After Huang Supervisor finished speaking, he glanced at the expressions of the three students in front of him. Both Xia Huai and Yan Yun were extremely valued disciples in this academy, and Lu Jing... Lu Jing was special. Most of the teachers in the academy felt towards him. It was a pity, but some senior Si Tianjian who lived in seclusion in the academy, including Huang Jianyuan himself, were very optimistic about Lu Jing.
It can be said that these three people have high hopes.
So Huang Jianyuan thought about it and decided to say more, "I believe you have noticed that the case behind this time is not simple. Both Si Tianjian and the academy were a little wrong before. They came for us, and their methods... were very cruel. It can be said that both humans and gods are angry.
"I didn't hide some things from you on purpose. This is actually a kind of protection for you. It's too early for you to be exposed to these things now, so don't think too much. Anyway, you won this little competition. Let’s enjoy this happiness first, and we’ll talk about other things later.”
