Chapter 145: Enraged
In response to Liu Dashao's pressing questioning step by step, Liu Nansheng's last psychological defense line gradually collapsed.
His lips touched up and down, and his cloudy eyes flashed with obvious disbelief, and he looked at Liu Mu fixedly for a while, as if trying to distinguish something, and after a long time, he finally asked with some difficulty.
"How do you know about those girls?"
"It's said that I'm a businessman, isn't it the most basic skill to see and listen to all directions?" Liu Mu chuckled and said unhurriedly, "There was an accident in the sacrifice back then, so everyone was like a frightened bird, and they were afraid of the sacrifice in the future. If you have enough time left, you may be able to solve the problem slowly, but this time the festival is in time for a special year, and you are about to face the wrath of the gods....... Am I right, Uncle Liu?"
Liu Mu's voice is very good, he has always been a person who will exude charm invisibly, and at this moment he shows a different kind of determination.
He seems to be telling a story from the perspective of a bystander, but the content he says is so shocking.
Gu Qi raised his eyes and looked at the man beside him, looking at Liu Mu's youthful frivolity and presumptuousness, looking at his sharp and angular outline, and looking at those beautiful peach blossom eyes with a deep speculation, saying that they were careless, but they invisibly controlled people's hearts. Gu Qi had to admit that on some specific occasions, Liu Mu was indeed much more mature than she expected.
Gu is no stranger to these remarks.
Removed those deliberate sellers, in fact, the prototype of Liu Mu's speech was the stellar clues that he used all his rhetoric to get out of the mouth of the proprietress of the hair salon.
Everyone's information network is formed little by little, and in today's rapidly developing information age, everyone will receive all kinds of information intentionally or unintentionally. It's just that some people don't care about these things, and they quickly forget them after hearing them, and some people take these as after-dinner pastimes, as jokes or new things, which can be regarded as a kind of spice. There are also people who will accumulate resources for future conversations, add their own opinions, and enthusiastically share them with the next person.
These practices are understandable, and they are also the most normal reaction of the general public.
But Liu Mu is different, he is highly sensitive to information, as if he has an inexhaustible enthusiasm and curiosity, even the slightest small detail, he will think carefully, carefully find the usability information from those clues, analyze countless possible outcomes, and finally integrate them into a resource that will help him.
Just a few hours ago, Gu Qi did not hesitate to use various adjectives such as "embroidered pillows, no positive shape" to describe Liu Mu, and deeply felt that this boy only knew how to pay attention to those indifferent pomp and circumstance, and did not do a lot of bad things. But now, Mr. Gu, who is used to being rigorous, has to reflect, maybe it is really a thousand faces, and everyone's way of dealing with it is different.
Liu Mu concealed his arrogance with lightness and his needs with casualness. He is too smart, and it is too easy to take the initiative in a relationship, most people will not take things that have basically confirmed the results and lack of challenges, and the sophistication of human feelings cannot arouse Liu Mu's interest, so he will deal with it casually.
To put it bluntly, he is also a lonely and ununderstood person.
"So, what are you worried about? the girls who have had an accident, the curse left behind by the ancestors of the Wu Clan, or the upcoming sacrifice full of uncertainties. Uncle Liu, if whitewashing the peace can solve the problem, of course you can choose not to say anything, but there is not much time left-"
Liu Mu's sharp gaze stopped on Liu Nansheng's face, as if he wanted to see through his heart through his subtle expression.
"I'll also give you the truth, this time I came to Liuzhen, not only did I want to investigate the twelve concubines and the dance costume, or rather, I didn't investigate as a bystander. ”
"That'...... Why are you looking it up?"
"The reason why I checked these is because the elders in my family are related to the Wu clan. I can't guess what the connection is, but if the disaster you say does come, it will only turn out badly, and everyone will be involved. Speaking of this, Liu Mu raised his eyebrows, "When I first entered the door, I mentioned that ballad, at that time I didn't know that this was a special ballad used by the Wu clan for sacrifices, and you must not know what this ballad represents in the Bai family." ”
"What does it represent?" asked Liu Nansheng.
"The secret of the Bai family, the treasure of the relict king, or rather, immortality. ”
Liu Mu's words brought a huge impact, and for a while, Liu Nansheng and Gu Qi fell into an extremely abrupt silence.
The small room was not a big place, and when it suddenly fell silent, all that was left was the sound of the wind whistling by.
The dim yellow lights flickered and flickered, illuminating the big guys' expressions a little dim, and the scene at the moment was no longer appropriate to describe it as a trade-off, not so much that they were plotting with each other, how much should they confess, how much they could get. Rather, the rope of fate binds the three insiders together.
Even though their original purpose and the forces behind them were different, at that time, all they wanted was to follow the gaps left by those ancient civilizations and find an extremely rare glimmer of life between the cracks.
"Immortal ......"
This murmur squeezed out of Liu Nansheng's lips, and it also aroused the turmoil in Gu Qi's heart.
Some time ago, they never imagined that the situation would be so serious.
"If it's immortality, maybe it makes sense......."
Regarding Liu Nansheng's feelings, Liu Mu did not express too many opinions, he knew that the meaning of exploring secrets was not to ask questions, but to let the other party really let go of the estrangement, and took the initiative to choose to be open and honest. So he didn't even pursue what Liu Nansheng meant by "making sense", but directly analyzed it himself.
"I don't think that coincidences are just chance, or that there is no such thing as absolute chance in this world. If the crux of everything goes back to the period of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, then thousands of years have passed, and nothing has happened, why not hurry up sooner rather than later, but all the contradictions have become acute recently?"
"Because....... That's the prophecy of the witches. Liu Nansheng replied with a frown.
"The prophecy is worth a few dollars, Maya's prophecy is not strong, it was a lot of trouble before, but in the end...... We are not all alive and well, and we have not seen the destruction of the world. Liu Mu smiled casually, "Instead of attributing everything to those surreal reasons, it is better to think about what went wrong, even in the face of the gods, you have to die to understand, right? What's more, if the gods can be summoned casually, the ancestors of the Wu clan will not spend so much effort to plan for thousands of years, and the comeback of the ancient kingdom of Loulan can still leave us with a chance to be afraid?"
Liu Mu said every sentence in the vernacular, but when these contents are connected, it is very incomprehensible.
"If it's not for surreal reasons, what else can it be?" Liu Nansheng coughed low and was the first to break the silence, "Young man, you don't know about our Wu clan, of course you can say cool things so casually, but we have believed in gods for generations, how can we doubt the existence of gods?"
"But don't, Uncle Liu, no matter how materialistic atheists are, they don't dare to make such a conclusion, don't put such a big hat on me as soon as you come up, especially under the noses of your witch gods, I am panicking. ”
Liu Mu waved his hand again and again as he spoke, but looking at his chic and complacent appearance, neither Gu Qi nor Liu Nansheng felt that his performance was like "vain panic", just like his unhurried words at the moment, it was clear that he was calm between the lines.
"I didn't deny the gods, but why was the timing so coincidental, or why did the crux left by the Wu clan break out in such a concentrated way now?"
Liu Nansheng listened to Liu Mu's words silently, and at this time he didn't want to ask or refute anymore.
Because in the deepest part of his heart, no matter how unwilling he was to admit it, he gradually began to admit all of Liu Mu's reasoning.
"The Bai family in Z City can't fight with you Liuzhen Bagongzi, but they are entangled by the secret of the Wu clan, and my girlfriend...... I won't see you anymore, my girlfriend's teacher suddenly disappeared a year ago, just because he touched the totem of the Wu clan, and now my cousin, that is, Bai Yicong, the head of the Bai family, is investigating the cause of the Wu clan with the descendants of the He family. Many clues are connected together, almost all at the same time, Uncle Liu, do you believe that all this is a coincidence?"
"Do you suspect that someone is planning these things?" Gu Qi thought about it along Liu Mu's train of thought, and immediately asked, "Just like you said before, the teacher will find out that the totem of the Wu clan is not accidental, maybe earlier, someone has already calculated everything after that, and a few of us will find these now, and it is not for nothing?"
yes, how can this be for no reason?
Liu Nansheng's fingers suddenly tightened, and the transparent glass cup was tightly squeezed in the palm of his hand. Those terrible things were uncontrollably in his mind, and the last curse of the girl who was entangled in flowers and vines pulled his heart down.
"Frankly speaking, the Bai family has long been involved in the affairs of the Wu Clan, so I will not only investigate these things, but also solve them personally. Unless you tell me that there is no deeper reason for all this, then I won't ask any more questions and solve it in my own way, but if the final result is not satisfactory, we still have to bear the consequences, and no one can escape. ”
"Of course there is a reason....... "Liu Nansheng snorted, "how can there be no reason." ”
This rebuttal has already given the answer, and it is only a matter of time before more secrets are told.
"The sacrifice...... There was indeed a problem with that sacrifice, and it was a disaster for Yoojin......"
Liu Nansheng frowned tightly as he spoke, trying to maintain his composure all night, and completely fell apart when these few sentences were squeezed out.
"What you said is so mysterious, I don't understand it and I can't figure it out, but immortal...... I believe it. It was a sacrifice two years ago, and we wanted to cut off the fateful curse of the Witch Clan, but in the end, we angered the gods. ”
