Chapter 179 Who Was he? (1/2)
Zhang Yunyan looked at the unconscious man. She was still suspicious, and she still couldn’t believe that he was the only one who was caught by Jiuyou Sage that night.
Turtle Elf was not doubtful at all. It asserted emphatically that the man was the caught one that night, because there was no foreign man in the cave before that, so this can be certain.
At that night, after Jiuyou Sage grabbed this man, he started to find Zhang Yunyan before he did anything to the man. After she escaped, they still did not stop, and they could not feel at ease until they catch the outsiders.
Later, Yellow Hair King Ghost and Green Hair King Ghost rushed back and reported the illness of Jiuyou Spirit Saint. The old devil listened and became anxious, and after leaving some words for Turtle Elf, he and the Four King Ghosts hurried away.
Tonight, a few devils rushed back to the cave from the place of Jiuyou Spirit Saint. They had not had time to kill the man, nor did they catch other men.
Zhang Yunyan listened to the explanation of Turtle Elf, but she was still skeptical. She really hoped that he was the man who was caught that night, and that he was her benefactor Shikong.
Turtle Elf was also somewhat puzzled. He said to himself, “This is the important cave with many traps, not somewhere to shut people up. Why did the Sage put him here?”
Zhang Yunyan was confused and wanted to find it out. She leaned over and called, but the man did not respond and did not move. She pushed him gently, and the man still showed no response.
“It’s no use. He’s already dead. Oh, I didn’t expect that the old devil had already done it. Poor man...”
Turtle Elf shook his head in agony and sighed for the vanishing of another young life.
In the dim light, Zhang Yunyan couldn’t see the man’s face clearly and could only distinguish his dress. He was wearing a luxurious dress, some accessories and diamond rings made of gold, silver and jade, not a Buddhist costume. What was even more suspicious was that the man wore his long black hair in a bun, so he was not a Buddhist.
Zhang Yunyan shook her head and sighed, and she became bitterly disappointed.
She was very sad and said to herself, “He is not the young monk Shikong but some other man. Who is he? It’s unexpected to me that such a wealthy person has also been caught.”
“They wouldn’t care about rich or poor. They are bound to catch whoever makes them satisfied.”
Turtle Elf looked at the man who closed his eyes tightly and remained motionless. It was puzzled and disagreed with Zhang Yunyan’s words.
Its brows were slightly wrinkled, and it said to itself, “It’s weird. At that night, the Sage only caught one person, and there was no second one. When did this person come in? I know it every time when those people came back with the people they caught, and I haven’t heard of this person.”
Zhang Yunyan said, “Maybe you were not there when this person was caught, so you don’t know.”
Turtle Elf shook his head and said affirmatively, “No, they would tell me when they catch people, because they want to shock me with this and make me clean up the mess. This person is the man who was caught that night. There is no second person besides him. As for whether he is a monk, and whether his name is Shikong, I can’t tell.”
Zhang Yunyan was shocked by those words. The horrible scene of that night was still vivid in her mind and there was no mistake.
On the side of Qinglong Mountain, in the bright flash, she saw clearly that Jiuyou Sage did catch a man. At that time, she thought it was a friend from Buddhism of the old devil, and who was sick.
That man wore a Buddhist costume. There was no doubt that it must be her benefactor Shikong, and that it couldn’t be someone else who wore expensive accessories and diamond rings with luxurious clothes. It couldn’t be this person.
However, listening to the words of Turtle Elf, this person was the only man and only one who was caught that night. He should be Shikong.
However, why was he dressed as a vulgar? How did his Buddhism costumes disappear? Did Jiuyou Sage change his clothes?
As for this idea, Zhang Yunyan could believe it, because if the devil wanted to eat Shikong, there would be no need to change his dressing, otherwise it would be making an unnecessary move, which was also meaningless.
Besides, this man had long black hair, so he was not a monk, which meant he couldn’t be Shikong. That was to say, it was not this person who got caught that night.
Turtle Elf couldn’t tell who the man really was, and Zhang Yunyan did not know either. It was another mystery that they couldn’t figure out.
Seeing the rich young man dressed in luxurious clothes and wearing long hair, Zhang Yunyan did not believe that he was one of the people caught that night, because she saw the caught man wearing Buddhism clothes. It must be Shikong.
Turtle Elf couldn’t agree with her. It asserted that this was the only one caught by the Sage. There were no others, so it couldn’t be wrong.
Zhang Yunyan and Turtle Elf both said their words with certainty, and they were sure of their own identification.
However, only one of them could be right. Who was it?
When this person was caught, and who he really was, there could be only one answer. Zhang Yunyan didn’t know, and Turtle Elf didn’t know either. She and Turtle Elf both believed that they couldn’t be wrong and the other made a mistake.
Yunyan did not see the face of Shikong, and could not see the appearance of the man in front of her clearly, so she could not firmly believe her own identification.
She sighed silently. Although this person had long hair and wore common costume, she could only believe that Turtle Elf was saying the truth and he was the only man caught that night.
