Chapter 35: Taking a knife from the fire

"What does the master want us to do?" Lu Jing asked.

Zhihai was soothed, "This fire at Taiping Money House tonight was not an accident, but someone did it on purpose, and it was not an ordinary person. It was a group of demons who have been doing the right thing with our Sitianjian recently. The reason why they set fire was for something in the money house."

"What?"

"A magic knife." Zhihai said, "They care about the magic knife very much. When the knife was placed in the Star Gazing Tower before, they sent someone to steal it. Fortunately, it was recovered by a supervisor in time. Shaojian Guo was worried that the knife would be thrown away again, so he asked another supervisor who was very optimistic about and a disciple of the academy to escort the knife to a safe place, and the result..."

"What's the result?"

"I didn't expect that the supervisor was afraid of death. Seeing that the opponent was coming in a fierce manner, he threw the knife into Taiping Money House with the disciple, and then hid himself. He was really ashamed of Guo Shaojian's trust."

Xia Huai's face turned red when she heard this. Fortunately, she was wearing a human skin mask and couldn't tell.

Lu Jing on the other side looked wide and said angrily, "What, is this kind of thing happening?"

His voice was so loud that many passers-by were attracted by it and turned around and looked at him curiously.

Zhihai was also shocked, and then he took the initiative to expel the two of them, "This... is not incomprehensible. After all, they have encountered two attacks before, and they finally escaped by chance, but they must have been a little scared.

"In addition, they are not old, and even the supervisor has just become supervisory..."

"This is not a matter of age." Lu Jing shook his head and interrupted Zhihai's words, "Since as a member of the Sitianjian, he should put the world first, protect the people, and put his personal life and death aside. If everyone encounters danger, they only want to escape, then the world has been destroyed by tricks!"

Lu Jing's loud and loud words made Zhihai and Xia Huai look at each other.

Zhihai looked sideways and was impressed by Lu Jing's righteousness of not fearing life and death and caring for the people.

The girl didn't expect someone's face to be so thick.

However, Lu Jing didn't scold himself just to refresh his lower limit.

He knew very well that Zhihai must have doubts when he met them here. After all, two practitioners suddenly appeared after only two days of disappearance, one man and one woman, and Zhihai was both very polite. It would be strange if he had no idea.

However, when Lu Jing's righteous bold statement was slapped on the face, Zhihai's suspicion was immediately relieved a lot, "I haven't asked for your names yet..."

"Qi Kui."

"Xijun."

Zhihai searched in his mind and had no impression of these two names, but he still said politely for a long time. In addition, he saw that Lu Jing was older and Xia Huai looked very young, and seemed to be studying in the academy, so he turned to Lu Jing.

"What are you looking for when you use the golden armor for searching for your son?"

The golden armor of Xunzi is not a real beetle, but a miniature magic weapon created by practitioners.

As the name suggests, it is composed of one mother and one son. By injecting secret power into the formations in the mother beetle, the mother beetle can be driven to find the location of the child beetle.

It's a bit like Lu Jing's electronic tracker in his previous life.

Lu Jing knew that Zhihai still did not completely give up his suspicion of them, but his expression remained unchanged and continued to talk, "To be honest, Xijun and I came here to investigate a case."

"Is the case related to the trick?"

"That's right." Lu Jing said, "and that trick is in Taiping Money House."

He was a bit risky in this lie, because if Zhihai did some investigation in advance, he would know that there were no tricks in Taiping Money House.

The reason why Lu Jing dared to make this bet was because Zhihai showed that they were very clear about the matter of escorting Black Knife, including how many attacks they had suffered on the way, which means that the other party was probably following them all the time, not in this county town early in the morning.

Lu Jing was undoubtedly the right bet this time, and Zhihai's expression was a little surprised, but when he saw Lu Jing's statement was so firm, he accepted the other party's explanation.

He said a little apologetically, "I am afraid I will disturb the two of you in handling the case this time."

"It's okay. If what the Master said is true, it's still more urgent for your affairs. We can find that trick again after we run away, but we just need to spend more time."

Seeing that Lu Jing was so wise, Zhihai was quite pleased, so he stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the point, "The fire that the group of demons instigated was very powerful. When it came to water, it became stronger and stronger, and it was almost difficult to extinguish.

"But in this way, it will be difficult for their own people to enter the fire for a while, so the magic knife should still be in the warehouse of Taiping Money House. We must get the knife before those guys."

"How to get it?" Xia Huai frowned, "If it was an ordinary flame, I could also wrap people with water with the water technique, rush into the fire, or try to induce the earth spring to extinguish the fire, but now..."

"Now we can only attack fire with fire." Chihaidao.

"Take fire with fire?"

"That's right, I have already set up a large heavenly fire array around the Tianping Money House. Since we can't destroy the fire for a while, we can only change our thinking and use the fire array to control the fire and divide a channel from it."

Zhihai clasped his hands together, "The reason why I didn't take action for a long time is that I had only one person and could not control the formation while crossing the sea of ​​fire and finding the magic knife.

"But now with two help, my monk's plan is finally feasible."

After saying that, he looked at Lu Jing and Xia Huai again with bright eyes.

What a good guy, it turns out that the pit is buried here.

Lu Jing finally knew why Zhihai had never doubted his bold words at all. He was not stupid at all, but was waiting for Lu Jing to dig a hole by himself.

The moment he just cared about the people, and was not afraid of life and death, it could be considered as a hit to Zhihai's gun. If Lu Jing now refuses to do it on the grounds that it is too dangerous to go deep into the fire, it proves that his previous words were all traits.

Zhihai also has reasons to question their identities.

Lu Jing looked at Zhihai again, and the latter smiled slightly at him, lowered his head and recited Amitabha.

"A small thing." After a moment, Lu Jing also laughed boldly, "Isn't it just to get a knife for the master, I can do it alone."
