However, Tang Banxian, who was more than thirty miles away, was extremely worried:

It has been the third day since the old hero disappeared. No one is found alive and no body is found dead.

Tang Banxian and Zhang Changjiang tried their best to cover it up. Sometimes they said that "the patient is weak and should not be visited", and sometimes they said that "they are doing things and no one is allowed to enter". They changed their reasons and refused to let people in. It was like they were taking turns on duty.

They sat in the main room and watched people.

However, the family members still had doubts: Since the old man is dead, why not let people see him for the last time?

The family members were fine, but the relatives and friends who came from afar were even more critical.

Zhang Ruan, Zhang Changjiang's wife, couldn't hold back her anger and said to her husband Zhang Changjiang: "How is the old man doing? My relatives have come all the way. If people take a look, what impact will it have on him?"

Zhang Changjiang was obedient, saying no but not saying no.

Seeing that there was a problem, Zhang Ruanshi enlightened her husband and said: "The old man has a great reputation during his military life. Don't make any mistakes on his deathbed? We will be called unfilial. We are not easy to explain to our relatives and friends. When the superiors investigate, we are...

sinner."

Zhang Changjiang couldn't sit still. He went to ask Tang Banxian again: Do you have any clues? When can you come back? How should you explain to people?

Tang Banxian was even more at a loss: for three days, he secretly searched all the places of suspicion, but still found nothing: not in the Liangjiatun nursing home, not in the home of the "little prodigy", not in the shrine. Not even in the homes of relatives and friends where the old hero might go.

No……

"National Hero" Zhang Jingfeng - the machete - seemed to have evaporated from the world, leaving no trace at all.

What made Tang Banxian even more puzzled was that in order to find out the news about the old hero, he placed shikigami everywhere on some main streets, intersections, villages... However, these shikigami didn't feed back any news. He chanted the magic formula and went there

Even if I call back, there will be no response. The shikigami are like mud cows drowning in the sea. There is no news.

Tang Banxian has been controlling shikigami for three or forty years, and this situation has never happened before. He went to check it out in confusion, only to find that the shikigami had disappeared?! It was as if someone was picking up the shikigami when he was covering his front feet.

In order to find out who took away the shikigami, he once hid in the dark and observed. The strange thing was that he didn't see anyone walking into the shikigami, not even a ghost. The shikigami was right in front of his eyes.

There is no more underneath. It seems to be dispersed into the air.

This puzzled Tang Banxian greatly!

The old hero suddenly evaporated and the shikigami disappeared. Is there an inevitable connection between the two?

Or was it just one person?

Then who is it?

After repeated consideration, the "little prodigy" became Tang Banxian's first suspect.

What puzzled him was that the "little prodigy" was recruiting apprentices leisurely and contentedly at home...

In order to find out the activities of the "little prodigy" and find clues, Tang Banxian once squatted secretly outside the "Shentang" door for a whole day. What shocked him was that the "little prodigy" did not leave the "Shentang" courtyard for a whole day.

The door?!

If she hides the old hero. The old hero needs to eat, drink, and be served. She can't show it at all, right?!

There are also those shikigami scattered everywhere. To collect them one by one, you have to step out of the gate and follow the route they spread for a while, right?!

This time, Tang Banxian was really confused!

……………………………………………………

Three days have passed, and there is already a look of complaint in Zhang Changjiang's eyes.

"No! It's impossible for anyone else to do this except her." After thinking about it, Tang Banxian decided to come forward in person. People would spread the word that he was the "little prodigy" who was led by her!

Tang Banxian changed into a pair of coarse clothes and trousers and dressed himself up like an old farmer. He also selected two favorite disciples. The masters and disciples dispersed to Liangjiatun Village and blended in with the crowd who came to apply for the job.

Liang Xiaole didn't know Tang Banxian's apprentices, but she recognized Tang Banxian at a glance. Seeing him dressed like this, she secretly smiled in her heart: Even if you peel off your skin, I can still recognize your bones.

In fact, Liang Xiaole recruited apprentices with such great fanfare. On the one hand, he wanted to use the shikigami to create opportunities and move away from his hometown; on the other hand, he also wanted to confuse and recruit Tang Banxian to completely expose the rumor of "borrowing his life".

To this day, Liang Xiaole and Tang Banxian have not met directly. Both of them are watching and observing each other secretly. Liang Xiaole also knows that he rescued Yan Qingxi and Shi Jianquan, which has been widely spread, and Tang Banxian also personally asked

I heard it. I also mentioned that the old hero Zhang Jingfeng lived in a nursing home. The old hero and Tang Banxian had disappeared, and Tang Banxian would definitely suspect her.

It takes time for the old hero to recover. The later Tang Banxian appears, the better it is for Liang Xiaole.

It was also a coincidence that Liu Gui, Liu Jia, and Liu Ye suddenly persuaded her to accept a disciple at this time, which made Liang Xiaole's eyes light up, so she planned this "disciple recruitment" operation. As the "sponsor", she spent the whole day

He stayed at the "recruitment" site all day long to dispel Tang Banxian's doubts about himself - at least give him the impression that he "had no time to commit crimes".

Liang Xiaole also knew that the disappearance of the old hero Zhang Jingfeng was a great irony and blow to Tang Banxian, because it was lost under his nose. Tang Banxian would never give up! He would definitely come to him personally and test himself with tricks.

Verify whether you are the "culprit" who is hiding the old hero. Once you find any clues, you will definitely force yourself to submit in the hope of recovering him.

This is what Liang Xiaole wants. If you don't show up, how can I expose you as the culprit of the theory of "borrowing your life" by taking a walk?!

Liang Xiaole was happy that he had achieved his goal and was ready to fight.

At this time, a young man came to sign up. His surname was Fu Mingqiang, and he was in his thirties. He was wearing a long green cloth gown and a blessing scarf on his head. He looked like a gentle scholar. The first impression he gave people

Just - join in the fun.

Liang Xiaole was neither humble nor arrogant towards such people: As long as you come to support me, I welcome you. He then said to Fa Qiang: "I have standards for recruiting apprentices. If you can't meet them, don't say I don't give you face."

"I heard someone say that the 'little prodigy' is good at magic and can spread the beans to form an army and destroy chaos. It's a coincidence that the villain also knows some magic. I wonder if I can show it to the 'little prodigy'?" Fu Qiang said with a smile.

Liang Xiaole nodded and said: "This time when recruiting apprentices, the test is magic. Applicants do not have to be too modest. We hope to give full play to them." Then he asked him if he wanted to place an incense table.

Fu Qiang shook his head, glanced at the narrow courtyard crowded with onlookers, and said, "Should we go to a more spacious place?"

It seems that this person is "floating with a straw hat on the water - the head is not small!" He is less afraid of making things worse than Liang Xiaole!

Liang Xiaole was secretly happy: As long as you are willing, I will accompany you to the end! So, he led Fu Qiang to an open space outside the gate.

This is a large open space with two houses, and it is also the foundation of Liang Xiaole's family's idle house. After Hongyuan's father demolished the old house, he plans to build a new house on it in the fall. It will be used as an examination room today.

When the onlookers saw this, they all followed to the "examination room".

Liang Xiaole asked the onlookers to step aside and opened the stage for Fu Qiang to show off to his fullest. He was curious about what kind of magic he could do? Unless he also had superpowers or space, it would be impossible to conjure something that stood tall on the sky and on the earth.

Fu Qiang pretended to be all things to do, and with a poke of his finger, the trunk of an apricot tree with a diameter of seven to eight inches on the south side of the "examination room" collapsed halfway, with neat wounds. The apricot fruit, which was half green but not yellow, fell with a "crackling" sound.

It's everywhere.

Liang Xiaole used his "eyes of heaven" to look in the opposite direction, and seemed to see a black shadow flickering for a moment before disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Shikigami!

Liang Xiaole thought instinctively.

When I think of Tang Banxian's appearance in makeup, I know the identity of this "applicant": either an apprentice or a hired employee.

The onlookers were stunned, exclaiming that this applicant was really amazing. This time, this apprentice "little prodigy" had to be accepted.

Liang Xiaole clapped his hands in pretense of appreciation and shouted: "It is indeed a good technique! Since Mr. Fu has a technique to make it fall to the ground, can he have a technique to restore it?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this: Although he is older, he is still here to apply for an apprenticeship. Regardless of success or failure, a master can't call him "sir"?!

Fu Qiang didn't pay attention to what Liang Xiaole called him, but he heard the words "There are skills to restore it". He couldn't help but be slightly surprised: With the help of the master, this hand has been flawless, how come this "little prodigy"

"No reaction at all? You still ask yourself if you can restore it! The so-called magic is just a trick to fool the ignorant people. How many insiders go to get to the root of the problem? It seems that this "little prodigy" should not be underestimated.

watch for.

"How can there be any way to restore broken wood?" Fu Qiang said with a smile: "'Little Prodigy', I know a little bit about magic. Can you treat 'Little Prodigy' to a glass of wine first?"

This is also the cleverness of Fu Qiang: you asked this, I said this, and avoided your pursuit, and still won the applause of the onlookers - this is an excellent opportunity to express yourself and show off your skills!

After Fu Qiang said this, he reached out and grabbed two cups out of thin air. The people watching were even more surprised. Some even shouted loudly.

Liang Xiaole was used to seeing magic performances in his previous life. These were just tricks. Thinking that Fu Qiang refused his request in an understatement, but then used such childish things to fool himself, could it be that their purpose was to make fun and cause trouble?!

Liang Xiaole didn't want to answer him, and turned his head slightly to look at the people watching. It didn't matter if he glanced sideways, he saw the expressions of admiration and surprise on the faces of the people watching.

Liang Xiaole immediately understood that it was not that Fu Qiang's skills were inferior to others, but that he had been too well-informed in his two lives. This kind of skill was already common in his previous life, but it has not been popularized in this time and space, and it may be the first of its kind.
