Meng Qi subconsciously took a deep breath, vaguely grasping something, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
The gray-haired old man did not stop at his topic, but instead smiled and said: Brother, you seemed a little irritable before.
He looked at Meng Qi without shifting his gaze at all, as if chatting was something that required concentration.
It was only then that Meng Qi could really see his appearance clearly. He was not as old as he had initially thought. This was purely because the gray hair gave him the illusion. In fact, there were not many wrinkles on his face. Between young and old, his facial features are ordinary, but because of his concentration, he reveals an unspeakable charm.
Yes. Meng Qi suppressed his slightly excited mood and suddenly had an idea. He started chatting like he was with his elders, but the younger ones were involved in a puddle of muddy water in Maoling.
He quietly changed his identity.
The old man didn't pay attention to these, and listened very attentively. Finally he asked: Brother, when you left yesterday, your knot in your heart had been resolved and your mood was basically calm. You became irritable before because of what happened later.
He doesn't deliberately hide anything, nor does he reveal anything. He just says what he needs to say.
Meng Qi became more and more sure, pondered for a moment, and said directly in a homely chatting tone: This junior got clues about the thief last night, immediately informed his companions, and chased to the home of Dajiang Gang Xiang leader Chu Guan without stopping, but he was still a step too late. , he committed suicide with a sword, shouting before his death that Lord Wenquxing would avenge him.
Along the way, we did not delay, and we all concealed our presence in advance and changed our clothes so that we would not be recognized by ordinary people. However, the news was still leaked. The junior suspected that either a very strong master was following the junior, or his companion last night One of them is a traitor.
Normally, the opponent does not need to have very strong experts to track the whereabouts of Meng Qi and the others. For example, they can use real street vendors to record which streets Meng Qi and others have gone to, and collect them one by one. The target was determined, but Meng Qi had considered this in advance. Everyone changed their clothes and concealed their presence before going out.
But being able to follow Dai Fei and Chen Yasong, who were on high alert even half a step outside the location, without causing the slightest notice. The strength of the stalkers must be extraordinary.
The old man listened carefully to Meng Qi's story, his expression did not change at all, just like the boundless ocean. Even if a huge boulder falls, it will not cause a big wave.
After listening. He did not express an opinion, but smiled as if he had penetrated Meng Qi's heart and said: "You have a tendency, isn't this what is really irritating about you?"
Old Meng Qi blushed slightly and scratched his head in embarrassment. The trick of deliberately raising the topic was seen through: Yes, the junior has already been inclined. What is really irritating and distressing is that Chu Guan shouted before his death that Wenqu Xingjun would avenge him.
Well, I thought it was against the grain. The old man kept his hands and feet still and concentrated on chatting.
Meng Qi breathed out and nodded slightly: Yes. We didn't even find out who was behind the scenes, but he announced his name himself, letting us know immediately that it was Wen Quxingjun. It felt like death was deliberately framed.
At that time, he had other suspects, but with Chu Guan's shouting, Wenqu Xingjun was at least half exposed and could no longer hide completely behind the scenes. It almost makes people feel that Chu Guan has a grudge against him
If Chu Guan committed suicide without being forced, silence would be the best policy. Even if he was going crazy on the verge of death, he could at most say that someone will avenge me. There is no need to name Wenqu Xingjun if he was forced to commit suicide. If he can even give up his life, why bother with it? He is not afraid that the important factors that allow him to choose death will be destroyed by the people behind the scenes.
He didn't feel it at first, but when he went back and thought about it carefully, Meng Qi felt that it was inconsistent.
Since he realized something was wrong, why was he still irritated? The old man smiled slightly and asked Meng Qi directly from the bottom of his heart.
Meng Qi smiled mockingly: It was precisely because he sensed something was wrong. The younger generation was agitated, feeling that there was something else that had not been considered clearly, but could not figure it out. It was not until just now that he looked at the senior's carvings and calmed down that he finally understood it.
It became clear that the old man did not express his own opinions at all, and was only cooperating with Meng Qi.
Meng Qi's expression became solemn: Since my opponent dared to play chess with Wang Siyuan, I shouldn't have seen through it so easily. The truth was actually buried deeper.
After I think about it carefully, I will feel that shouting Wenquxingjun is against the law. As the person who arranged the plan, he would not think of it.
Just like the trap that the junior stepped into for the first time, there are obvious coincidences and the clues are quite deliberate. However, the junior just feels that such an old-fashioned conspiracy cannot be used to harm people. If it is a trap, there are too many loopholes, too stupid, and too dependent. It was a coincidence, and I thought it was true, so I thought about my strength, was sure to escape unscathed and wash away the dirty water, and went to Guanjin Garden to disrupt the opponent's layout, but it turned out to be a trap.
Not to mention why the arrangement was so perfect, what are the necessary reasons behind it, and why Wang Siyuan said that no matter how he dealt with it, he would fall into the trap. Just the strategy itself, he thought deeper than me, and he knew that I could tell that something was wrong. , so the arrangement was deliberately cliched and deliberate, completely unlike a conspiracy designed by an expert. It made me feel too fake and too dependent on coincidence, but not like a trap.
The old man blinked his eyes and chuckled: In other words, it will be the same this time.
Yes, the juniors can see that shouting for Mr. Wenquxing is against the peace, and I believe other people can also see it after calming down, so everyone will subconsciously think that this is a frame-up, in order to cover up the real person behind the scenes, and then completely ignore it Wenquxingjun Meng Qi's voice was slightly solemn. Although his name was exposed, it really disappeared in our hearts.
The old man was very cooperative and said: It turns out he is still Wenquxingjun.
Um. Meng Qi nodded. This is a trap at the level of thinking. As long as he thinks deeper than us, he can play with us while applauding.
But why aren't the people behind the scenes thinking deeper than you are now? They are framing Wenqu Xingjun, hiding themselves, the old man asked with a smile.
Meng Qi smiled confidently and said: The deeper the level of thinking, the better. It depends on accurately judging the enemy's thinking level, and then going one level deeper than him, otherwise it will only be self-defeating.
For example, this time, if we are all people who stay at the first level of thinking, Wenquxingjun will only be counterproductive and make us look embarrassed. But I fell into the trap last time, Jiang Hengchuan is not a person who does not think, Dai Fei and Chen Yasong are even more With rich experience, one is the Qingshou head catcher and the other is the deputy hall leader Maoling. They will definitely detect the problem and go deep into the second level. But if they want to go deeper, the possibility is extremely small. The people behind the scenes will not risk burying the hole in the second level. On the third level, you are harming yourself.
If Wang Siyuan hadn't told me that someone was playing chess with him, which aroused my attention to the enemy, even with the previous experience, I would never have imagined the current level.
The old man was noncommittal: What if you really didn’t go deep into the second level
If I were the person behind the scenes, an idea would suddenly pop up in Meng Qi's heart.
The old man didn't wait for him to sort out his words, he smiled and said: "Now that you have straightened out your thoughts, do you feel calmer?"
Meng Qi was startled, and then he really calmed down. He cupped his hands and said, "Yes, thank you, senior, for listening to this kid's chatter."
The old man said nothing, smiled and nodded, picked up the carving knife and wood block again, and carved the wooden statue again, with concentration and piety, like a landscape.
When Meng Qi saw this, he understood the meaning and stood up to leave. When he reached the entrance of the alley, he quietly clenched his fist and waved, looking slightly excited.
During this period, whenever you have time, come here to increase your favorability.
As soon as he returned to the small courtyard where he rented, Meng Qi saw Jiang Hengchuan lingering at the door.
Brother Jiang, what's important? Meng Qi came forward to greet you.
Jiang Hengchuan's expression was solemn: Two things. One is what happened yesterday. I thought about it carefully and felt something was wrong. How could a conspirator declare his family name before? We didn't even have a direction before, but now we know about Mr. Wen Quxing. It's unreasonable. Too unreasonable
Well, I also suspect that it was deliberately framed. Meng Qi was stunned for a moment, then answered with a chuckle.
Seeing that his opinion was recognized, Jiang Hengchuan laughed and said: The hero has similar opinions and must inform Dai Qingshou and Hall Master Chen immediately.
As for the second thing, Meng Qi was noncommittal.
Jiang Hengchuan switched to using voice transmission to enter the secret: I have been following Qiu Fei, relying on the realm of harmony between man and nature, barely being noticed. It turned out that he went to a hill beside the Jinshui River for two consecutive days. Tonight Maybe we will go there again, so I want to invite Su Shaoxia to hide there with me in advance to see what he is doing.
He didn't dare to follow too closely for fear of exposing himself.
Meng Qi pinched the reincarnation talisman hidden in his sleeve, pondered for a moment and said: Okay
Along the Jinshui River, there are singing and dancing, bustling cities, and secluded and deserted places, such as this hill outside the city.
Meng Qi and Jiang Hengchuan arrived early, found a secret hiding place, gathered their breath, erased the traces, and waited for the night to come.
Weeds are everywhere here, and there are footprints and other traces in some places, but except for Meng Qi and Jiang Hengchuan, there is no one there.
I don't know how long it took, the bright moon hung high, the light was rippled, and a figure sneaked up the hill. It was Qiu Fei, the wind-chasing stick.
He was holding a red eyebrow-level stick, watching behind him warily and inspecting his surroundings.
Meng Qi and Jiang Hengchuan used their own methods. One relied on the various techniques of spiritual release and the precise control of the Eight-nine Mysterious Skills, and the other relied on the unity of heaven and man, and narrowly escaped Qiu Fei.
After Qiu Fei finished checking, he suddenly stepped on the spot with great force, making a thumping sound.
Meng Qi was slightly surprised by what he was going to do. This move was too weird.
Suddenly, the ground squirmed, the soil bulged, and two figures came out. Their breath was weak, and their faces were pale, as if they were alive and dead.
Life and Death Sect Meng Qi's heart suddenly stirred up. Some questions from the past seemed to have been answered to a certain extent.
Why did the people of the Immanence of Life and Death Sect arrive at the exact day they discovered that Lao Zhong was leaving, neither early nor late
Why did they hunt for Lao Zhong for so long and only found clues during that period
Why do non-core disciples bring an exterior-level living dead
Why is there no more news about the crazy Ningzhou hero? If you like this work, you are welcome to support it, it is my biggest motivation.
