Qiu Miao: Let me tell you a story before I catch the monster.
Gu Wenye was stunned. "Catching monsters?"
Qiu Yanping patted the mahogany sword on his waist and raised his eyebrows at him, "See, I have brought all the equipment."
Gu Wenye touched the peach wood sword on Qiu Yanping's waist. The blade was not sharp and even felt a little blunt. He frowned in suspicion, "Just use this sword?" He didn't say the second half of the sentence. What could such a blunt sword do?
"Tsk, you're an amateur." Qiu Yanping raised his chin. He had spent his merit starlight to buy the peach wood sword, so he had to maintain it anyway. He closed his eyes and boasted, "My sword is called the Peach Wood Sword. It's specially used to deal with these monsters. Although it looks blunt, it's extremely powerful. Usually, small monsters can't do anything to it."
"What kind of monster?" Gu Wenye asked again after hearing it.
"The demon that's haunting Wang Ge," Qiu Yanping said, and after a brief pause, he added, "There's also the demon that's haunting Fu Yangsheng." He glanced at Gu Wenye, who was already dressed and ready to go, and said, "Let's talk while we walk."
The thought that Qiu Yanping brought back to the dormitory last night was the gardener who owned the low house.
That gardening master really died in vain. He was a person who was completely out of touch with the matter. He was hired by the Fu family to renovate the ruined peach orchard in the academy.
The gardener's name was Luo Zhongdao. According to the Fu family's request, he planted fir trees on one side and locust trees on the other side, and paved a winding path in the middle.
Although Luo Zhongdao felt that the requirements given by the Fu family were a bit troublesome and strange, he naturally arranged it according to their requirements. After completing the job and getting the money, Luo Zhongdao felt that he had done a good job. He returned home comfortably and lived his life happily.
As a result, one day, he was reading a book called "Appreciation of Gardening" at home. This book was a rare copy, and he had borrowed it from a colleague with great difficulty. He was so eager to learn it that he opened it and read it that day. He read for the whole day, but as he was reading, cold sweat broke out on his back.
The book talks about the complementary relationship between the placement of gardening and the aura of the entire area, which opened up Luo Zhongdao's narrow and one-sided understanding of gardening. Soon, he saw an example in the book that was very similar to the job he had taken on not long ago. It also used fir and locust as examples, and it was written that it was strictly forbidden to arrange these two trees in the same place, because one is yin and the other is yang, and the conflict between yin and yang is extremely unfavorable to people and things, and may even lead to bloody disasters.
In fact, this statement itself is wrong and one-sided. If the conflict between Yin and Yang will lead to bloody disasters, then the so-called Yin and Yang Bagua itself is unclear, so how can it be the source of Feng Shui?
However, people of this era knew very little about Feng Shui, so it was very easy for them to take a serious-looking book seriously. Coupled with the special request of the Fu family, and considering the incident of the young master of the Fu family that was known throughout the city some time ago, Luo Zhongdao quickly realized that this was a trap set by the Fu family, and he was being used as a pawn!
Luo Zhongdao accidentally saw through the Fu family's thoughts and was extremely flustered. He was engaged in gardening. If his gardening skills harmed someone, he would have to spend his whole life with a guilty conscience. Luo Zhongdao thought about it for a night and decided to write a letter to the old principal of the college the next day to explain everything.
The next morning, he went out to return the book to the colleague who had lent it to him. He had not slept well the whole night, and he was in a trance and in a very bad mental state. He walked quickly with his head down, holding the book.
Fu Yangsheng's second uncle Fu Yi Bo saw him and greeted him, but he didn't hear it until he was stopped by someone and raised his head. Only then did his face change color and turn pale.
"Mr. Fu Er, what a coincidence." Luo Zhongdao greeted him with a dry smile. Fu Yi Bo was the one who contacted him before and asked him to renovate the academy. This city is not small, and they happened to run into each other today.
Luo Zhongdao subconsciously hid the book in his hand behind his back, laughed dryly and said, "Master Fu Er, I just happened to have an appointment with a colleague to chat, so I'm leaving first."
"Yeah, I see that you are in a trance. You have to be careful on the road and watch out for cars." Fu Yi Bo narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded, let go of the other person's hand, and reminded with a smile.
"Ha, thank you Mr. Fu for your concern, goodbye." Luo Zhongdao left in a hurry. Fu Yi Bo looked at his back. He looked as if there was a devil chasing him from behind.
Fu Yibo touched his chin, thinking about the change in the other person's face when he saw him, and the book that he subconsciously put behind his back. What book was it? "Garden Appreciation"?
Luo Zhongdao stayed with his colleagues for an afternoon. He did not tell them about his own affairs. After all, the things in the book were too mysterious and few people would believe them. If it were not for the things he happened to encounter that could be connected together, he would not believe it so much. Moreover, he was involved in such a case that involved conflicts between yin and yang and would cause bloodshed. If his colleagues told others about it, it would be difficult for him to get business in the future.
Taking all this into consideration, Luo Zhongdao just drank tea with his colleagues, chatted for a long time, and then went home with his worries.
When he got home, he turned on his computer and started drafting a letter. He was thinking about how to explain to the old principal while typing the letter. Before he signed the letter, there was a very orderly knock on the door. Luo Zhongdao put down his work and got up to open the door.
It was Fu Yi Bo who was outside the door. Fu Yi Bo looked at Luo Zhongdao with a smile and said in a soft voice, "I noticed that you were not in a good state today, and I was worried about you, so I came to visit you in the evening to care about my friend." He raised a basket of fruits in his hand and smiled like a gentle gentleman.
Luo Zhongdao froze at the door, and Fu Yi Bo walked in.
Fu Yi Bo looked around. Everything in the low house was clear and visible at a glance. Naturally, the open computer and the half-written letter attracted Fu Yi Bo's attention.
He turned around with a half-smile, looked at Luo Zhongdao, raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that I came at the wrong time and disturbed you from writing a letter."
Luo Zhongdao chuckled twice, walked over hurriedly, closed the half-written letter, and said, "As for writing letters, you can write anytime, no need to disturb me. It is an honor for our humble home that Mr. Fu Er has come to visit. Does Mr. Fu Er have any new business to introduce?" He smiled flatteringly and spoke quickly, anxious to draw Fu Yi Bo's attention to other things.
Fu Yibo smiled and said, "I'm glad you didn't bother me. Business can be done at any time, but I have a question first. I can introduce it to you only after you answer it. What is the book you were holding today?"
The smile on Luo Zhongdao's face froze. He trembled slightly and said, "They are just some books on horticulture. There is no end to learning, right? We should keep learning until we die. Especially for those of us in this industry, we must learn new knowledge anytime and anywhere, otherwise we will be slapped to death on the beach by the waves behind us..."
Fu Yi Bo laughed, "You are such a good talker. Why didn't I see that you are such a talker before?"
Luo Zhongdao laughed dryly twice, "Is that so..."
"Who were you writing to just now, and what was it about? I'm a little curious." Fu Yi Bo seemed too lazy to deal with him anymore. He approached the other person step by step, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Luo Zhongdao subconsciously retreated to the table. The laptop was placed on the table, and he hastily grabbed it and held it in his palm. His action was no different from telling Fu Yibo that there was something wrong. Fu Yibo sneered, "Master Luo looks very bad. Are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Fu." Luo Zhongdao leaned against the table with a stiff face and a dry expression. Looking at Fu Yi Bo approaching, he clenched his fist, swung it forward suddenly, knocking Fu Yi Bo away, then turned around and was about to throw him away.
Fu Yi Bo was prepared and dodged the incoming punch, but he couldn't dodge Luo Zhongdao's blow. After all, he was a strong adult man. The solid blow really made him a little dazed, and at the same time, a surge of anger surged in his heart. When he saw Luo Zhongdao turning around to escape, he ran over and caught him back, pressing him hard on the table, "Haha, what are you doing, Master Luo? You suddenly attacked Party A. I'm afraid you won't be able to do your job in the future."
He took out the small computer from Luo Zhongdao's palm and threw it into the air. The screen was magnified. The letter that Luo Zhongdao had almost finished writing was completely seen by Fu Yibo. The cold light in his eyes became even colder, and the hand holding Luo Zhongdao's neck tightened. "It seems that you know a lot of things, and you are not honest and dutiful. You insist on interfering."
"Fu... Second Master..." Luo Zhongdao struggled to pull the man's hand away and spoke intermittently, "I... will never... tell this... to anyone... Please let me go... I... I..."
"Can I trust you?" Fu Yi Bo tilted his head slightly and asked in a gentle tone.
Luo Zhongdao nodded without hesitation, "Yes! Yes!"
Fu Yi Bo loosened his hand. Luo Zhongdao bent over and leaned on the table, breathing heavily. Just as he was rejoicing that he had finally escaped, Fu Yi Bo pulled out a small knife hidden in the fruit basket and stabbed it into Luo Zhongdao's vest. Luo Zhongdao's eyes widened, and he turned around slowly and stiffly. He stared at Fu Yi Bo with wide eyes, "You..."
Fu Yi Bo looked at him and shook his head slightly left and right, "I can't let you ruin my plan, I must eliminate all possibilities." As he spoke, he pulled out the knife that was stuck in the opponent's vest. Luo Zhongdao groaned, twitched his body and fell on his back to the ground.
Under Luo Zhongdao's unwilling gaze, Fu Yibo thrust a knife into his chest. He whispered in Luo Zhongdao's ear, "You must die, just like Wang Ge, he must die too. Murder must be paid with life, blood debt must be paid with blood. Don't worry, I won't have a good end either."
