Chapter 38 Sound
Chen Hao formulated a detailed plan that would not only teach Xin Youtao a lesson, but would not be driven out of Pangshan because of this.
"Mengdu Sect said that there was no fight, but it was no doubt that there was no resistance. So we need a bait. Daliang is the most suitable. You go to provoke Xin Youtao and make him faint. He reveals his true feelings in public. He wants face and will definitely not be able to bear it. As long as he dares to take action-" Chen Hao glanced around majesticly, "I will rush over and beat him half to death."
Erliang Chen Xiuwei applauded several young men, but Daliang Chen Xiuming was hesitant, "Xin Youtao knew that I had a good relationship with Brother Xiaoqiu, and I might not be fooled... Fangfang, Xiao Qingtao, do you two want to take revenge?"
Xiao Qingtao was the only outsider. She looked at Fangfang with panic and did not dare to speak. This was no longer the time to eat fish together. She knew how many strange gazes her non-demon identity would attract.
"Though said," Chen Hao encouraged, "You are also a victim, you can be considered... half a person from Yelin Town."
Fangfang nodded, Xiao Qingtao was like a child who made unreasonable requests to his parents, lowered his head and said softly, "Xin Youtao, Xin Youtao, after all, saved people..."
Chen Hao became angry as soon as he heard this, and slapped hard on the edge of the kang, "He is just pretending to be compassionate, and he doesn't need to save him. The Mengdu Sect will arrive soon, right?"
Xiao Qingtao's face changed in fear, she hugged beside Fangfang, and her head lowered, "I don't know... Just decide..."
"Speak softly, don't let people outside hear it." Daliang Chen Xiuming reminded.
"Don't scare Xiao Qingtao, you asked her to speak." Fangfang hugged Xiao Qingtao's shoulder. Although she was about the same age, she was a protector like her sister.
This afternoon, a group of people gathered in Xiaoqiu's room. There was still half an hour before supper time. Chen Hao hoped to make the plan soon, so he was a little impatient. He heard the criticism and laughed twice, "Xiao Qingtao, I'm not targeting you, it's Xin Youtao that boy is too bad."
Erliang Chen Xiuyou squatted straight on the kang and said, "Xiao Qingtao, you won't sympathize with Xin Youtao, are you? You two are not the same Taozi, you are Qingtao, he is... Rottao."
The teenagers all smiled, Xiao Qingtao's face turned red and she smiled, with a little courage. "No, I just think the stone is not like he did. At that time, he and Brother Xiao Qiu were on it and had no time to do bad things."
"He secretly used the talisman." Chen Hao said.
"He said he didn't have talismans."
"He is lying to others."
Chen Hao recognized Xin Youtao as the planner of the huge rock rolling down. "Brother Xiaoqiu, why have you been silent? If you want to say who is the most qualified to take revenge, it is you."
Xiaoqiu sat on the kang, and his physical strength had not fully recovered. He had been thinking about what Meng Yuanhou had said, "No matter what, I will not forgive what Xin Youtao did at Laozu Peak."
Chen Hao, Erliang, Chen Xiuwei and others lowered their voices and cheered, and Xiaoqiu immediately added: "But I don't want to just beat him up tonight."
The teenagers were confused, and Chen Hao frowned, "Do you have any way to teach Xin Youtao a lesson?"
"Xin Youtao was not willing to come to Pangshan." Xiaoqiu had already clarified his thoughts. The prince was talking long-winded on the mountain, but inadvertently revealed many things. "He came to win honor for the royal family of Xijie, so he had his uncle to plead for him. It was meaningless to beat him, but it might cause us to leave Pangshan. To take revenge, he surpassed him on the road to practice Taoism, so that he would never get honor in Pangshan, and he would have no face to go home to meet his father, mother, brother, brother, brother, brother, and brother."
Daliang Chen Xiuming was the first to cheer, "Yes, Erliang climbed to the top of the mountain yesterday and received a reward, which was a big blow to Xin Youtao. He was depressed all day long and told people everywhere that Erliang borrowed his light."
Such revenge methods are not in line with the traditions of Yelin Town in history. Chen Hao scratched his head, "I think it's the easiest and most satisfying to beat him up."
Fangfang agreed with Xiaoqiu's point of view, "We are here to practice Taoism, and we will use this to find the whereabouts of Yelin Town in the future. What can we do if we win one Xin Youtao? When we arrive at Yangshen Peak, all this is useless. Xin Youtao said that we have a demon seed, so we should prove that he is wrong."
Chen Hao barely suppressed his anger and glanced at his friends one by one, "Okay, let this kid escape, but he'd better not mess with me."
Xiao Qingtao whispered: "He doesn't dare to mess with you. When you eat, you will take a fewer bites."
Everyone laughed together, Xiaoqiu's smile was extremely short and disappeared as soon as it appeared on her face.
"Let Brother Xiaoqiu rest, this is more important than revenge." Chen Hao thought Xiaoqiu was tired and chased people outside the house, "We will all go to another house tonight, so no one can disturb Brother Xiaoqiu."
Xiaoqiu wanted to keep everyone, but opened his mouth but didn't say anything, because he had a strange feeling, as if a sound that was not in this room was heard into his ears, and it was fleeting.
Everyone was exposed, and Xiaoqiu was the only one left. He focused on listening.
The sound came again, this time it lasted a little longer, with mixed content, wind, human speech, tables and chairs rubbing, all kinds of sounds came one after another, twisting into a thread. When Xiaoqiu wanted to pick out a thread from it, all the sounds disappeared again.
Xiaoqiu tried again and again, and the sounds that reached his ears became more and more lasting and clearer. He could finally distinguish the voices from them, and even heard a few words clearly. Then he realized that these sounds were not far away. In the museum, he heard the speeches of nearly 140 new disciples of Pang Shan.
Xiaoqiu was shocked. He had an extraordinary hearing experience. It was the feeling of the blue demon flower invading the body. After that, this ability disappeared and appeared again inexplicably today.
"This is definitely not a demon seed." Xiaoqiu murmured to himself, remembering the method of luck and calming the mind taught by Meng Yuanhou, so he did as he did, and at the same time he held his ears and listened.
Various voices came at the same time, but they were not so mixed. Xiaoqiu was able to separate them one by one as he wished, and each sentence was as clear as a face-to-face conversation. He could even recognize the identities of certain acquaintances.
The children in the museum were walking towards the dining room in groups, greeting each other and joking. The names of Mu Xingqiu and Shen Xiuwei popped up from time to time. Not every child was simply envious. Xiaoqiu heard many suspicions in low voices. From the relationship between the boys in Yelin Town and the demon seeds, to the several meetings between Xiaoqiu and Grandmaster Pangshan, they were analyzed over and over again, and unexpected conclusions were drawn.
Xiaoqiu was very angry at first, and wanted to debate with those gossipers who were not in front of him several times. Slowly, he felt relieved. It was from this time that he knew that everyone, including the small children, had different words in front of others. He expressed praise and envy in person, but behind him was doubt and contempt.
Xiaoqiu was tired of rumors and turned to looking for a specific target. The first one was Xin Youtao.
Xin Youtao didn't go to have a meal, but was actually speaking in a pleasing tone. This was a rare thing. He was arrogant to the identity of Prince Xizhi, thinking that everyone should take the initiative to please him.
"We are the same type of people." Xin Youtao seemed to have gained the trust of the other party, "We should have more contact in the future..."
Xiaoqiu's extraordinary hearing cannot last too long, so he needs to rest for a while before he can concentrate again. During the process of identifying positions and finding sounds, he first heard Chen Hao's voice. Chen Hao was whispering to discuss with a partner that he would still have the opportunity to beat Xin Youtao in the next two days, but don't let Xiaoqiu and Fangfang know.
Xiaoqiu shook his head and continued to search. When Xin Youtao's voice came again, the conversation was coming to an end.
"Okay, that's it. When you know who he is, you will make a judgment and I won't interfere."
Another strange voice spoke, polite and polite, with a more elegant tone than the prince. "Fellow Daoist Xin is flattered by the wise and nobles. We have no intention of shirking or comparing it. But when we first arrived at the museum, we still have no understanding of many things here."
"A group of people with demons, who are friends with a non-demon - do you need more evidence?"
"Fellow Daoist Xin..."
With a bang, the door was pushed open. Xiaoqiu was shocked and suddenly retracted his hearing. He kept tinnitus. He felt dizzy in his mind and almost fell on the kang.
"Brother Xiaoqiu, are you okay?" Erliang Chen Xiuwei put down the food and hurried over to support him.
"It's okay, I'm a little sleepy." Xiaoqiu had doubts about her new abilities and decided not to reveal it to anyone at first. She smiled at Erliang, "Are you so many people praising you?"
"Hehe." Chen Xiuwei scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "I'm not used to it. However, Brother Xiaoqiu, the more I think about it, the more I feel that you were right just now. It's useless to beat Xin Youtao. You have to go far beyond him on the road to practicing Taoism. He thought he was a prince. We must prove that he could only cheat and win, and he had no real ability at all."
Erliang finished his meal with Xiaoqiu. When he left, it was already dark. Xiaoqiu immediately listened again. Without Xin Youtao's voice, he probably had nothing to say. As for the person he was talking to, Xiaoqiu was too unfamiliar with the voice and could not tell it out of a piece of noise.
Frequent use of hearing consumes energy. Xiaoqiu is a little sleepy and lie down to take a nap, but does not close his eyes. He is wondering what his new ability is going on.
Chen Hao and others came once, and saw that Xiaoqiu had already lie down, they all left quietly.
After late at night, Xiaoqiu sat up. There were not many noises at this time. He could accurately find the speaker. Without Xin Youtao's voice or the elegant voice, he searched around the museum. Xiaoqiu heard Zhang Lingsheng's voice, panic and frustrated, as if he had done a huge mistake.
"I think he really has no magic seed. In that case, he has no reason to hide. I have really worked hard. The Mengdu Sect has already doubted me, and I can't..."
Xiaoqiu was shocked, his spirit was slightly distracted, and he lost the ability to listen far. He took a deep breath and was about to find Zhang Lingsheng's voice immediately, he found that there was one more person in the dark room.
Meng Yuanhou raised his right index finger at him, walked quietly to the edge of the kang, and spoke in a very low voice, but Xiaoqiu soon discovered that his lips were not moving at all.
"Use your new abilities with caution. This is Pangshan. Eavesdropping on others' conversations will be discovered."
Xiaoqiu pointed at his ear, "What's going on?"
"I don't know what the reason is, but I can confirm that you are opening your seven orifices."
