Chapter 22 Chapter 22
Mo Kaize's expression changed again and again, but after the little ghost was confiscated, he seemed helpless. Finally, he sat on the bed with a dejected look on his face, covered his face and remained silent.
Cong Shu looked around and saw that no one was taking any action, so he resigned himself to his fate and went over to tie up Mo Kaize's hands with a rope. The man probably felt that the situation was hopeless and did not struggle.
After tying the man up, he looked at Ouyang Xiu again and said seriously, "Miss Ouyang, I think you may have something to ask him, why don't you come first."
Ouyang Xiu was silent for a long time before nodding and smiling bitterly, "Xiao Mo, you have been with me for almost a year. You have been very considerate and gentle during this year, and you have saved me many times recently. I have always regarded you as a family member, and I thought you were the same."
"I said before, if I can eat meat one day, I will never let people around me only drink soup. I also thought that after you have been with me for three years, I will pay you a down payment so that you can have a house of your own. But..."
…
Yuan Tian and Tang Yang came to the window early to give them some space. Cong Shu also came over and said with a smile: "Today's experience really broadened my horizons. Fellow Daoist Yuan is really amazing."
Yuan Tian smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you."
"I've never seen such a straightforward way of catching ghosts. Fellow Daoist Yang An is truly amazing!"
Yuan Tian waved her hands modestly: "Okay, okay..."
Tang Yang pulled his sleeve and asked, "Who is Yang An?"
Yuan Tian’s smile froze.
Cong Shu understood everything: "It is indeed the Yang generation from Kongmen Temple. Fellow Daoist Yang An, I am so sorry for my disrespect."
Yuan Tian pursed her lips and said dryly: "You got the wrong person."
"Then do you dare to take off your mask and let me see?" Cong Shu looked confident.
Yuan Tian: “…………” I don’t dare either.
He just sighed, knowing that he couldn't hide it any longer, so he had to take off his mask.
Looking at that delicate face, Cong Shu finally smiled: "Sorry, our sect has a rule that when you see Brother Yang An, you must offer two words - pay back the money!"
Yuan Tian: "...Talking about money hurts feelings."
Cong Shu smiled: "We are not familiar with each other."
“…………”
The two began to argue, and Tang Yang, who had been listening for a long time, finally understood that Yang An was Yuan Tian's Taoist name when he was in Kongmen Temple.
No wonder he only told the Taoist Master Yunzhi at Kongmen Temple that his last name was Yuan, and didn't mention anything else. No wonder the Taoist Master wanted to ask a few more questions, and the kid almost got angry.
But how did a young Taoist priest manage to make everyone in Sande Temple ask him to pay back the money? And from what the child said, he seemed to have left Kongmen Temple, which was very abnormal.
Seeing the child being pressed step by step by Cong Shu, Tang Yang couldn't help but soften his heart, thinking that he was his future brother-in-law after all, and said impulsively: "How much money Yuan owes you, I will help him pay it back."
Yuan Tian's eyes sparkled and she looked at Tang Yang like he was her savior.
"Not much," Cong Shu took out an abacus from nowhere, "only tens of millions. Oh, he probably owed some other Taoist temples, so I'm not sure about the amount."
Tang Yang's heart hardened again: "Sorry for talking in my sleep just now."
Yuan Tian: “…………” It was a wrong choice after all.
His eyes dimmed, and after a long while he sighed and looked at Cong Shu, saying: "Daoyou, for the sake of our acquaintance..."
"Stop it," Cong Shu waved his hand, "This is the second time we meet, we are really not familiar with each other."
After a pause, he continued, "To be honest with you, we have an unwritten rule in our sect. Whoever can make your fellow Taoist Yang An pay back the money will be the hero of our temple, and I can also win a big prize."
Yuan Tian: “…………”
It seems that the emotional card cannot be played, so Yuan Tian had to harden his heart and said, "I can first pay you back the commission this time. But you have to promise not to inform the Kongmen Temple, okay?"
I haven't heard that this kid has betrayed his religion! Cong Shu was a little curious, and then he thought about it. The kid only said that he was not allowed to tell Kongmenguan, but he didn't say that he was not allowed to tell his "friends". Thinking of this, he immediately made a decision: "Deal!"
Yuan Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and glared at Mo Kaize with resentment. This job was done in vain...
Tang Yang touched his hair sympathetically, not knowing how to comfort him for a moment. This was no less tragic than a cooked duck flying away.
Just as the three of them were thinking about their own things, Ouyang Xiu's resentful sobs were heard.
"You... you really like me that much? Ugh... you bastard..."
Several people's attention was drawn to it, and they saw Mo Kaize with a bitter face, saying: "This is the best and fastest way I can think of to pursue you..."
What he meant was that he asked Xiao Gui to create those "accidents" on Ouyang Xiu in order to fulfill his heroic act of saving the beauty and to move Ouyang Xiu a little bit. The reason was that he liked Ouyang Xiu and wanted her to be his.
Yuan Tian couldn't help but complain: "How shameless."
Tang Yang also nodded: "I have only heard that if you truly like someone, you will do your best to protect him or her, or even save him or her at the cost of your own life. But I have never heard of someone persecuting that person just because they like him or her, and then acting as a benefactor to save her or her. This is not love, this is playing with people's hearts."
If you really like someone, you won't be willing to put her in danger, and you won't attack her psychological defenses again and again, causing her to collapse from body to mind. In the end, she can only rely on the person who saved her and can no longer leave him.
Yuan Tian couldn't help but glance at him sideways. He didn't expect that he had such insights.
However, he always felt that there was something wrong with what Mo Kaize said...
Ouyang Xiu was emotionally broken for a while, and finally wiped her tears and looked at Yuan Tian and asked, "How are you going to deal with him?"
Yuan Tian remained silent, lost in thought.
Tang Yang suggested: "Send it to the police station?"
Cong Shu nodded: "Without the little ghost, he should be an ordinary person. I will ask him about the origin of the little ghost and what sins he has committed. After questioning him and confirming that there is no problem, I will send him to the police station tomorrow."
No one had any objection, so Cong Shu pulled a chair and sat down opposite him, ready to interrogate him.
Mo Kaize spoke up at this time: "Can you untie me first? I want to go to the bathroom."
"No," Cong Shu said, "What if you run away!"
Mo Kaize smiled bitterly: "You said there is no little ghost, I am just an ordinary person, how can I run away."
After a pause, he continued, "It's okay if you don't untie me. Can you help me hold on?"
All the men present knew where to help. Cong Shu looked at him silently, then at the kid who was eating candy in the corner.
He wasn't so careless as to let the little ghost go and help his original owner. If the little ghost was subdued again, that would be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain. But he wasn't so perverted as to help others himself.
So he bent down silently, loosened the rope on Mo Kaize's hand, and said, "I'll go in with you and watch you go to the toilet." This way he wouldn't give this man the opportunity to do something naughty.
The moment the rope loosened, Yuan Tian finally figured something out and hurried over and shouted, "Stop..."
At the same time, the rope on Mo Kaize's hand completely loosened. His face changed, he smiled evilly, and suddenly stood up and knocked down Cong Shu. At the same time, a large ball of black mist suddenly condensed in his hand, and instantly turned into a long sword. He raised the sword and rushed towards Yuan Tian.
The speed was so fast that it could almost be called a flash. Yuan Tian instinctively sensed the danger and wanted to dodge, but it was too late.
Seeing Mo Kaize's evil and flamboyant smile close before him and his attack approaching, Yuan Tian smiled bitterly. If he didn't die from this blow, he would probably have to lie down for a week...
Just when he was feeling desperate, a hand suddenly pulled him away and stood in front of him.
Yuan Tian's pupils shrank suddenly, and he shouted out of control: "Get out of the way! Brother Tang..."
But it was too late, the sword had already stabbed Tang Yang.
The pendant on his neck suddenly emitted a faint light, and at the same time, a barrier formed with it as the center, covering Tang Yang and blocking the sword's attack.
Yuan Tian felt relieved and was about to step forward to pull him back. But unexpectedly, the barrier was broken in the next second, and the wooden sign on Tang Yang's neck broke into two pieces and fell to the ground.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Yuan Tian madly condensed balls of light blue light, trying to entangle the sword, but it was shattered in an instant.
He could only watch as the sword stabbed towards Tang Yang, who had lost his amulet...
