Chapter 163: The Demon Strikes (2-in-1)
Under the soft light, a man and a woman sat opposite each other, the woman spoke carefully and the man listened carefully. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
According to Wang Shuyi, the old family owner Wang Yun has been dead for many years, and she has been disguised and pretended to be the old family owner still alive all these years, the purpose of this is to prevent the Wang family from falling apart, and she is also afraid that the other seven families will beat their Wang family's idea.
She also has an explanation for the age problem, Wang Shuyi claims to be 50 years old this year, as for looking young because of the Wang family's "Lingyan Xuanjing", this kung fu is progressing slowly, but it has the effect of rejuvenating the face. And the reason why the old master has not been able to break through to the innate is also because he wasted his energy on rejuvenation.
Gu Yuansian looked at the pretty face opposite, his forehead was full, his skin was delicate and smooth, his beautiful eyes were shy and timid, and his black hair with cloudy sideburns added a bit of charm to this beauty, he really couldn't believe that such a girl was an old woman fifty miles away.
"Should I trust you?"
Wang Shuyi, who was on the other side, knew that he wouldn't believe it, so he got up and walked inside, where there was a screen with a picture of a lady blocking the couch, and he couldn't see the situation inside.
After a while, Wang Shuyi took out a photo album and walked out.
"My stepmother rarely takes pictures, this is her private photo for so many years, which can be regarded as a memory for me." As he spoke, he handed over the album.
Gu Yuansian took it and looked at it carefully.
The top photo dates back to more than 10 years ago, a woman in palace clothes is folding flowers, and a slender girl is standing next to her, and she can't see her face clearly. However, based on her height and size, it can be speculated that the girl should be Wang Shuyi opposite.
Gu Yuan sighed and frowned inadvertently, and continued to look down.
At the beginning of the century, in the 90s and 80s, there were very few photos of women in palace costumes, and most of them were side faces, but there were many of Wang Shuyi.
By the time we reached the end, the time had gone back to the beginning of the last century, and a young girl was standing on the deck of a huge ship, dressed in a strong suit and carrying a sword upside down, looking heroic.
"This was taken by my stepmother when she was traveling overseas.
Gu Yuansian held the album in a daze, all the explanations looked flawless, including the evidence was quite sufficient, but he just didn't want to accept it in his heart.
is because the girl opposite is full of youthful atmosphere, which is not owned by an old woman in her 50s at all; and those bright eyes, there is no sense of vicissitudes of time at all.
Seeing Gu Yuansian slowly put down the album, Wang Shuyi's voice on the other side said with a little emotion: "Senior Gu, please don't leak the news about the death of my stepmother, that will bring disaster to my Wang family." ”
Gu Yuan sighed and didn't speak, looking at the female red objects on the table, his face was cloudy.
He always felt that this Wang Shuyi was lying to him, but he couldn't think of the other party's purpose. If she wanted to hide the facts, then she could make up a reason to deceive him away, and there was no need to deliberately reveal the fact that the old master of the Wang family had passed away.
Since he couldn't think of a reason, he decided to retreat and get up and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go first." He walked out of the house.
Wang Shuyi, who had a girl's face, stood up, and after a few words of greeting, he was sent to the door.
Watching him walk through the courtyard and open the door to leave, the footsteps disappearing into the dim night, the girl stood at the door of the main house, never moving a single step.
……
"What do you think?"
At this moment, Wang Shuyi seemed to be a different person, her originally calm face became extremely gloomy, her good-looking eyebrows were also frowned tightly, and a pink mobile phone was spinning quickly between her fingers.
The woman named "Qizhu" next to her thought for a while and said: "The martial arts are very powerful, and it should be the day after tomorrow." In addition, his true qi is very powerful, and I have carefully observed that it is more durable than many old monsters who have been famous for a long time. ”
"What else?"
"There is also the fact that this man is very cautious, and his body has always been in an offensive state since he entered the house; In addition, judging from his facial expression, this is also a resolute person, which cannot be taken lightly. ”
The corners of Wang Shuyi's mouth hooked slightly, "Hehe, I can't despise it if I want to!" A great grandmaster, speaking out will frighten a group of people. ”
Suddenly, the phone rang between her fingers, and she put her hand on her small ear and fed it: "How's it going?" ”
I don't know what the other side said, Wang Shuyi's face was full of surprise, and at the same time, she muttered: "There is such a genius ......"
After putting down the phone, without waiting for Qizhu to ask, Wang Shuyi said with a puzzled face: "This person's family is very ordinary, he has no background, and there was no such person on the rivers and lakes before, as if he appeared out of nowhere." ”
"How so? Could it be some unknown old monster who came to inquire about the news in disguise? ”
Wang Shuyi shook her head, "Don't you see, the other party doesn't seem to have much experience in the rivers and lakes, and even the gesture he made at the beginning was wrong." ”
"Huh." Hearing her words, that Qizhu covered his mouth and chuckled, and after laughing, he said seriously: "Miss, without further ado, it's better for us to explain this kind of supreme master as soon as possible, in case it ......"
Wang Shuyi raised two spring onion jade fingers and interrupted: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, if nothing else, he should come here with a request, if we show weakness now, won't we let him take what he wants in the future?" ”
"But ......"
"Nothing. Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, he can only be used as a spare knife. ”
"Miss, I see."
When the master and servant were discussing here, in fact, Gu Yuanxian did not leave too far, and was standing on the roof of a nearby building with headphones on his face at the moment, with a strange smile on his face.
"Little girl dares to play tricks on me, I want to see how you use my knife?" After saying that, he took off his headphones, and his body disappeared under the night sky with a few ups and downs.
……
It was almost twelve o'clock when I got back to the hotel, and the golden hotel door was still bustling with hustle and bustle, with drunk men and women hugging each other and stumbling towards the lobby.
Avoiding several pairs of alcoholic men and women in a row, they quickly got on the elevator after passing through the lobby.
After arriving at the floor where he was, Gu Yuan sighed and was shocked, only to see four or five hotel staff standing at the door of his room, some of whom were informing the security personnel, muttering loudly.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing him coming, a foreman-like man asked, "Are you a resident here?" ”
"Hmm~"
"There is a white-haired pet in the room who has gone to the kitchen to order food a few times today, and our staff can't open the door when they chase here, and they can't get through to your phone."
"Uh...... Sorry for the trouble. After explaining and apologizing, the hotel staff was given 20,000 yuan before leaving.
After Xiaobai opened the door, he was stunned again. In the dimly lit room, a figure hangs from a crystal lamp on the roof, and the open window is whisked with white veil, and the atmosphere looks very strange.
After turning on the light, I found that it was the Spirit King hanging from the vault, who was trembling at the moment.
Scanning the room again, it was a mess, with a dozen cups and saucers thrown on the carpet, and leftover sea bass heads, crabs, abalone shells, chewed lobster scraps, and so on.
"No wonder people ask me for 20,000, it's really not much." Looking at the leftovers on the ground, Gu Yuan sighed and couldn't get it.
Many of these ingredients are raw, and it is estimated that the hotel staff have not found them, or there are more than 20,000.
Turning his head to look at the Lingzhi on the ceiling, his wrinkled face was full of palpitations, and he said strangely, "Why are you still hanging on it?" ”
The Spirit King glanced at Xiaobai and never moved the place.
Gu Yuan sighed and looked at Xiaobai, only to see that it was stupid with leopard teeth, and he suddenly understood. It must have scared the Spirit King into eating it or something.
"Seeing that you are so energetic, I will give you a task and help the master keep an eye on it."
The little leopard is used to being wild in the wild mountains, and suddenly trapped in a small room, can you imagine how painful it is? At this moment, when I heard that it was going out, my body was like a phantom, jumping around the room, and I was very happy.
Gu Yuansian had already taken a photo before, and at this moment, he showed Xiao Bai the topographic map of the courtyard, and then told it what to do.
Then he took Xiaobai out of the hotel, found a taxi at the door, told the master the approximate address, and asked him to put Xiaobai down after he arrived at the place. After paying the fare, Gu Yuan sighed and went back to the hotel.
As for whether the driver would kick Xiaobai out of the car halfway, or simply take him away, he was not worried at all.
Xiaobai is not a spirit king, its combat power starts at the grandmaster, and it has a keen sense of smell, if the driver dares to deceive it, the consequences will be very serious.
……
There was no word all night, and the next day it was dawn and Xiaobai jumped in through the window.
After finishing the work, Gu Yuan sighed and said strangely: "Why did you come back?" ”
Xiaobai touched his stomach to indicate that he was hungry, Gu Yuan sighed and slapped his head, shouted, "Oh Maiga", and said speechlessly: "Aren't you hungry in the hotel, why did you become a scumbag as soon as you went out?" ”
Xiaobai looked at him with a pair of innocent eyes, and he suddenly remembered that he had taught him a lesson last night, so that he was not allowed to eat casually in the future.
"Well, it's my fault. I don't mean not to let you eat it, but I'm afraid that you will eat it and spoil your stomach. If you encounter such a situation in the future, you can figure it out for yourself. But remember, there are some things that can't be eaten blindly to prevent poison. ”
Xiao Bai bared his teeth, revealing a look of "I'm very good at eating".
Gu Yuan sighed disdainfully: "What do you know, there are few pure natural things in modern cities, just the sea bass and shrimp you ate last night, at first glance, it was fed with attractants." ”
"I don't know what an attractant is? It is an artificial additive that puzzles fish and shrimp eat food. This stuff is mixed in the feed for the fish and shrimp to eat, and they not only eat a lot, but also grow fast and grow bigger. However, this attractant is a harmful substance, and the fish and shrimp will remain in the body after eating, and if you eat this fish and shrimp for a long time, the body will have problems. ”
Xiaobai was obviously frightened, and when he finished speaking, his eyes rolled and he collapsed on the ground as if he had been poisoned to death.
Gu Yuansian kicked it lightly, and said with a smile: "Don't pretend to be dead, it's okay to eat occasionally." ”
……
After eating breakfast in the room, Gu Yuanxian looked at the Spirit King and began to be in a daze.
In addition to running fast, this humanoid Lingzhi is simply a scumbag, and it is also a burden. Whether he left it at home or in the hotel, he was a little uneasy.
But it is a rare elixir in the world, and in case the magic elixir fails in the future, it should be a good idea to cut some flesh from it for cultivation.
may have felt Gu Yuan's sighing gaze, and the Spirit King, who was hanging on the indoor bonsai, subconsciously shook his body.
It's a pity that Gu Yuanxi didn't have time to take care of him, and secretly said depressedly: "Where to put it?" ”
At this time, his mobile phone rang suddenly, and when he picked it up, he saw that it was Zuo Wuchang calling.
After connecting it, I realized that he was indeed arrested by the Yan family and had just been released.
After a few words of comfort, Gu Yuansian asked him to go back and rest for a few days first, and talk about other things later.
After putting down the phone, he sat there again and was stunned again.
Although he knew that the Yan family in Wuyang City had arrested many people, he was not sure that Zuo Wuchang was also among them. And to be honest, the Yan family has a congenital master, and he doesn't dare to rashly go over to investigate, in case the other party knows that Yan Idiot was killed by him, the consequences will be unimaginable.
In a word, it is still "too low strength", if he is now also congenital, he can generously admit that Yan Idiot was killed by him, and he will not accept the battle.
But now that he has just stepped into the acquired consummation, if he wants to sprint to the innate in a short period of time, it depends on chance.
Thinking of this, he called Xiaobai over and asked, "Did anyone come in and out of their place last night?" ”
Xiaobai's IQ is not lower than that of an adult, and the only flaw is that he can't speak like a white leopard. Hearing Gu Yuan's words, it turned over the map of the capital, spread it out and gestured with its claws a few times.
Gu Yuansian probably understood, it meant that someone came to the courtyard from another place, and then went back, and several groups of people came in one night.
Several locations were distributed in several points in the capital, he nodded and stood up and said, "First wronged you to watch here, and I will find someone to come over for you in two days." ”
After ordering a lot of food for Xiaobai, he left the hotel and rushed towards the nearby Dongcheng.
Originally, he planned to ask that Wang senior about the ancient land, but since something went wrong, he was not in a hurry, it was a big deal to stay here for a few more days to see what the hell that Wang Shuyi was doing.
And his intuition told him that the old master Wang Yun was not dead.
……
Dongcheng is a young man in his thirties, working as a manager in a shooting house, according to his observations, this young man is very good, not comparable to Ji Yucheng last night.
After some careful searching, Gu Yuanxi found the other party's address.
The other party lived in a white-collar apartment two blocks away from the auction shop, and he didn't go through the main entrance, but saw the opportunity to step up to the seventh floor and get in through the open window.
The room is not big, only fifty or sixty square meters, clean and tidy, and there is nothing special at a glance.
I looked in the room, they were all daily necessities, and there was no equipment used by people who practiced martial arts. I rummaged through the trash can, and it was also very refreshing, and there was no "secret" of discarding.
Gu Yuan, who straightened up, sighed and said: "TV series are very harmful. ”
When I went to the bathroom, I saw that there was only one toothbrush, and it was obviously just used this morning, and there were water stains on it.
"That's weird, is it the three holes of the cunning rabbit?" Standing in the middle of the living room, he muttered to himself.
As a great grandmaster, it is basic to be careful and sharp-eyed, but he didn't find anything strange in this room.
"No, sofa~" At this moment, he stared at the two art sofas next to the flower stand.
A pair of orange sofas placed next to the two hanging baskets really complement each other, not obtrusive at all, but the only bad thing is that there are fabric sofas at home, and it doesn't look like someone often comes, buy so many chairs for whom?
Walked over and brought the two bowl-shaped sofas to the side, revealing a sofa cushion, and when they were removed, the floor was underneath. I knocked it with my hand, and it turned out to be a dull metallic sound.
"Sample, it's hidden quite deeply~"
Too lazy to find a mechanism, the iron sword poked the floor, and then pulled, and the metal iron plate was cut open, and then pried it hard, and the entire lid fell off.
Underneath is a 40-centimeter-wide square safe, with more information than a few wads of cash. There was also a cloth bag, which he poured out and looked at, and it contained metal tokens, as well as a jet-black dagger and several USB drives.
When I picked up the token, I saw that there was a cursive word "Wang" on the front.
"Sure enough, it's from the Wang family."
Picked up the ledger and flipped through it for a while, it was full of records of the auction house in and out, and some of them were his own statements, which he didn't understand after reading it for a while.
After looking for a while, I finally got the receipt in a ledger.
This is a list of bribes within the family, and the manager has written down all the names of the senior leaders of the Wang family who he has bribed. Including their names, positions, when and where, and how much money they were given, it is clearly written on it.
Such a list is of no use to anyone else, because the bribe-taker is not a public official and there is no such thing as a crime. But it can help Gu Yuanxian understand the internal situation of the Wang family.
He didn't have time to look at it closely, and after returning the rest of the things to their place, he left the room with the ledger in his arms.
With the first, the same ledger was found in the home of the third "suspect", and the list of people was larger, and the amount of bribes was larger.
Holding two account books in his hand, Gu Yuansian looked at it carefully, from the elders to the store leaders in various regions, all of them were fishing, and the century-old tree of the Wang family was already rotten from its roots.
But what made him strange was that with the methods shown by Wang Shuyi last night, the following small fish and shrimp should not be difficult to clean up, how could they still be allowed to mess around?
After thinking about it in his mind, and then contacting the overheard words, Gu Yuansian probably understood what was going on in his heart.
The corners of his mouth sneered twice, "Hmph, use me as a knife, beware of me swallowing your Wang family in one bite!" ”
……
Walking slowly on your back in the thousand-year-old capital of Beijing. Walk through the long street, walk across the overpass, and step into the underpass.
Along the way, some people laughed, some cried, some frowned, some people were at a loss, and all beings jumped into each other's eyes.
"Arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, lust, gluttony, the seven sins of sentient beings originate from the desires of the heart? But the heart of the Tao can be regarded as the firmest belief from the bottom of the heart, what kind of desire is this? Lust for life? ”
Walking in the underground passage, Gu Yuan sighed and was stunned. All sentient beings are suffering and there is no detachment, is this the unkindness of heaven and earth, or is it the equality of all beings?
In his confusion, he fell into the demons of his heart for no reason, and he suddenly felt that heaven and earth had already doomed everything, that struggle was useless, and detachment was also a fantasy.
"Put it down...... Let's go back and be a student...... The son inherits his father's business and goes to the hanging pot to help the world......"
"Ah......h
Suddenly, as if something was about to burst out of his head, he hugged his head and screamed in pain, and his body rolled back and forth in the underground passage.
The passers-by saw a young man in a neat suit suddenly fall to the ground and scream, so frightened that they quickly dodged away, and then hurried out of here; None of the office workers wearing headphones and carrying briefcases stopped at the office workers who were passing by, they all glanced at me from afar, and still looked at me as far away.
"Put it down...... The road is bumpy...... Let's put it down...... The world is prosperous......"
Gu Yuansian felt that he was about to be persuaded by this voice, the avenue was unpredictable, life was in a hurry for a hundred years, and it was wrong to pursue those illusory things.
The pain became more intense, and the thought of "letting go" became more and more prevalent.
Just when Gu Yuanxi was about to fall into a coma, a burst of singing came from the distance of the passage.
It was autumn
The wind is so lingering
Reminds me of them, those helpless eyes
It's right in the middle of that beautiful landscape
I heard a loud bang that shook the valley
……
The singing voice was looming, the voice was sad and sad, Gu Yuansi, who had fallen into the demon for no reason on the ground, and his originally distorted face slowly calmed down, and his body slowly straightened, just lying flat in the underground passage.
After a while, he propped up his tired body to the edge of the passage and slowly crouched down against the wall. Close your eyes and begin to regulate the sea of the twelve meridians that are disordered in your body.
I wanted to hold his hand tightly
Mom told me I hoped there would be
Seeing the sun come out, they smiled
It's dawn......
In the midst of the song, Gu Yuansian smoothed out all the rampant true qi, and then took out a bottle of [Powerful Magic Medicine] and poured it, finally passing the first attack of the demon after the Great Perfection Realm......
