When Yuan Yuanyuan read this part of the comic, her curiosity was completely aroused. She really wanted to see how Ji Qiu was going to draw it and how he was going to explain what happened back then.
In fact, even Yuan Yuanyuan was not very clear about what happened back then, and most of her conclusions were based on her own speculations.
Looking at the head of the Li family in the comics, Yuan Yuanyuan always felt that the other party was very likely to be Donkey Faning at this time. Because in the comics, it was very much like what the villain Donkey protagonist would say before, and the general routine was like this.
But Yuan Yuanyuan still inexplicably believed what the head of the Li family said. Why
—Because the head of the Li family started with the right idea.
Yuan Yuanyuan actually knew that this thing was related to Siqun, and according to Siqun’s own words, this thing should be cooked and then eaten, half for each person.
This thing may be directly related to the cause of Yiqi's death that year.
Faning in the cartoon was stunned after hearing the words of the head of the Li family. He was obviously in a state of doubt, but for a moment he was attracted by this sentence and was unable to take action.
The head of the Li family also stood there without any hurry, as if he was waiting for Fanning to come back to his senses.
Fanning noticed this, he looked up and asked, "You want to tell me what happened back then?"
“I can’t say I wanted to tell you, but I just think what you said is a little ridiculous.” The Li family patriarch said, “You have found out so many things, but you didn’t even bother to verify them. Instead, you came to ask me directly… Since you are Yiqi’s apprentice, I have to remind you that you are not as careful as your master. If he was like you, he probably wouldn’t have lived that long.”
Fanning raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked at the other person and felt that the other person's repetition of the same thing every three sentences was a little interesting, but he didn't say much now.
"So your brother tricked him into drinking the white stuff back then?" Fanning asked, "What exactly was it?"
"That thing is a Gu." The head of the Li family said, "My silly brother is the Gu King, and that thing is his hair."
"Head, hair?" Fanning was a little incredulous.
Yuan Yuanyuan realized that the Patriarch of the Li family was probably trying to trick Faning. She was curious about how the Patriarch of the Li family was trying to trick Faning. Sure enough, the Patriarch of the Li family looked at Faning and said softly, "Since you have found that white thing, you should know the relationship between my brother and Yiqi back then."
"That's about right." Fanning said, "I know they were best friends and fought together in the past. I know you were the same as them, until I don't know when you betrayed Yuan."
"It's not betrayal." The head of the Li family said, "Soldiers need to obey. It was Yuan who chose to betray first. He was the first to be disloyal."
Faning stopped the conversation. He suddenly realized that the head of the Li family might have his own philosophy on this issue. It might be difficult to convince him.
But Fanning didn't care too much about it. He had a final item in his hand. If he released it at this moment, it would definitely cause an explosive effect.
He looked at the head of the Li family over there and his voice became lower.
"Some time ago... you were burning this white stuff in every corner of the city, right?"
The Li family head's eyes narrowed slightly, and Fanning smiled, "Don't ask me how I know, but you did burn a lot of those things some time ago. Why did you burn them?"
"I don't know what this thing can be used for, and I didn't even know its name before today." Fanning said. "But I know that this thing is most effective for one person, Yuan."
"Right?" Fanning gradually approached the direction of the Li family's patriarch. "Why did you set off this kind of smoke all over the city some time ago?"
The head of the Li family didn't say anything, so Fanning said, "Since you won't say it, then I'll say it for you. Why did you place this kind of smoke all over the city? Because you feel in your heart... Yuan, he is still alive."
"You thought you could use this smoke to force the opponent out, but it didn't work as you wished." Fanning laughed, "Why do you, as an opponent, care so much about Yuan?"
"Every time you see me, you always mention that I am Yuan's apprentice." Fanning slowly moved forward, "But I don't know where your obsession comes from. Even though I am Yuan's apprentice, I haven't seen him for nearly half a year..."
"That's enough." The head of the Li family interrupted Fanning and looked at him coldly, "You ask too many questions."
"That's because I do care a little bit." Fanning smiled. "Since you don't want to talk about this topic, let's change the subject, such as your brother's incident... How did he persuade Yuan to drink the Gu?"
"I wanted to talk to you just now, but now I'm not in the mood." The head of the Li family said with cold eyes, "Perhaps you can ask him, but based on his current condition... Heh."
With a cold snort, Faning suddenly raised his weapon to block the sudden attack from the head of the Li family. The two sides quickly parried several moves. Yuan Yuanyuan didn't expect the comic to go in this direction. After reading it, although she felt a little regretful in her heart, she still put her phone down.
I originally thought that I could find out what happened between Siqun and Yiqi in the past, but in the end, the other party didn't say anything... But by chance, I actually saw in the comics that the head of the Li family personally admitted that the other party had placed smoke screens throughout the city in order to force Yuan to come out.
There were indeed scenes of people setting off fireworks all over the city before, but it was always just a joke until this issue. Everyone finally knew why people set off fireworks all over the world.
For a moment, readers felt a little complicated, because now everyone has assumed that Yuan is dead. Even the most loyal fans have secretly acknowledged in their hearts that Yuan is now in danger.
As a result, when everyone was so Buddhist, a big shot stood up and said in a firm voice that he didn't believe it!
Yuan is not dead, he must be alive and well somewhere in the world, he must find him!
What kind of emotion is this... Anyway, everyone was shocked after watching it.
Yuan Yuanyuan was also shocked. She began to wonder if the Li family patriarch had some kind of dirty deal with Yiqi. She even began to imagine a big triangle, a plot of wanting but not getting, etc.
Well, she wasn't the only one who was suspicious, but everyone thought so. There were sets of short essays on the Internet, one after another, and each one seemed to make sense, and each one also seemed to be written by the person involved.
Don't... Yuan Yuanyuan hid in the room alone with tears streaming down her face. It was difficult enough to put herself in Yiqi's shoes, and now it was even more difficult, and she had to act out such hidden emotions...
Although that’s what she said... Yuan Yuanyuan seemed quite happy (?).
There is a part that is not drawn at the end of the comic. The fight between Fanning and the head of the Li family was a draw, and neither of them gained an advantage. To be honest, the head of the Li family used his rich experience to gain a slight advantage, but it was not too obvious.
After returning, Faning applied medicine to himself while holding his breath. In fact, he knew a little more than the head of the Li family thought, but he didn't say it all at the time.
He had even vaguely guessed the effect of the Gu, which he had found in the letters between the man surnamed Liu and Ran Niang.
That Gu seemed to be a twin Gu. If used as an ordinary Gu, its effect would be nothing more than to put humans into a coma. The less spiritual power a human had, the stronger their reaction to this Gu.
This kind of Gu has been used on the battlefield before, but its effect is actually not great. After all, wars in the later period were basically wars between Taoists and monsters, and rarely involved ordinary humans.
Later, the monsters used this Gu when they wanted to do something but didn't want to harm other humans... Anyway, the final use of this Gu really confused the monsters for a while. After all, Si Qun was a well-known Gu King, and in the end, the Gu of the Gu King had this function.
There is really no other adjective to describe it other than tasteless.
But Si Qun is the Gu King after all... The effect of this Gu is certainly not that simple. The reason why it was not told to others is because the effect of this Gu has a bit of a bug. If it gets out, it is very likely to cause very bad consequences.
After the twin Gu is burned to ashes, each person eats half, and the lives of the two people are tied together.
Ran Niang, or Yuan, was not mentioned much in the letters at the time, except for some words like "I discussed with my friend what to do today" in a casual tone.
Many of these things are speculations by Fanning and have not been confirmed.
But for some reason, Fanning had a strong premonition that this was the case.
At that time, the army did not spread this kind of poison because it was too scary to think about it.
Fanning speculated that if he encountered a spy, he would poison the enemy and himself, and then commit suicide, and then he would be dead...
However, Siqun and Yuan at that time ate this kind of poison at the same time, and their lives were tied together. Yuan who was in Hongshajing did not die, and Siqun who was outside did not die either.
But the four groups definitely aren't harmless... What did the Patriarch of the Li family mean when he asked him to go find the four groups and see what happened
Faning was confused for a while. He originally wanted to go over and take a look, but he couldn't get away now. After feeling regretful for a while, he had to give up.
