124: Self-deception

Tang Qiqiao said honestly: "The index finger and ring finger have been running errands outside for many years and rarely come back. Even if they came back, there was nothing to do, and I didn't bother to deal with them. So we haven't seen each other a few times. Even when they met, they wore masks. So I don't recognize them. As for the master, he is the master here, what other identity can he have?"

Cheng Li and Hu Yuji glanced at each other and nodded slightly. Both of them can see it. This Tang Qiqiao, although he is known as the first craftsman in the Tang Sect in the past three hundred years, is actually only skillful in manufacturing various hidden weapons. When it comes to dealing with people, he is not only not coincidental at all, but can even be said to be very clumsy.

Since they understood that Tang Qiqiao was such a person, Cheng Li and Hu Yuji were absolutely determined to find out more secrets of the owner of the Golden Cave from him. Cheng Li changed his tone and asked, "Where does this road lead?"

Tang Qiqiao replied without hesitation: "This road passes through a total of seventeen halls and palaces, and finally ends at the welcome hall on the upper floor. The guests who came from outside were gathered there. ”

Hu Yuji frowned and asked, "If you want to go to the Welcome Palace, there is only this way?"

Tang Qiqiao shook his head and said, "Of course not." In fact, this road is specially for the enemy. Along the way, there are 17 halls and palaces, all of which are arranged with various traps designed by my own hands. If you don't know the mystery and don't know how to crack it, hum, even if the head of the three major streams is here, you have to make them lose half of their old lives. ”

Hu Yuji gasped and scolded: "Damn middle finger, I know he's uneasy and kind." This is a deliberate attempt to trap us. ”

After a pause, Hu Yuji said strangely: "Since these traps are so powerful, why did you come here?"

Tang Qiqiao said with a sad face: "I thought that the Five Elements Boy alone was enough to clean you up." That's why I came over and waited on the side, wanting to check it as soon as it was over. I didn't expect ...... Alas~~"

After a pause, Tang Qiqiao finally couldn't help it and asked, "Why didn't I see you when I came to check just now, and where are you hiding?"

Cheng Li's "Jizo Tribulation" is essentially the manipulation and control of dark matter. When a large amount of dark matter gathers and covers the whole body, it can not only effectively resist the invasion of toxic smoke, but also form an effect similar to invisibility.

Because dark matter itself is not visible in its normal state. Then things that are covered by dark matter will of course become invisible. The reason why the thin and short old man looked around, and he didn't find Cheng Li and Hu Yuji, who were actually standing beside him, was here.

Of course, there are pros and cons. Dark matter can only withstand heavy enemy blows if it is highly condensed. However, when the dark matter is highly condensed, it becomes visible to the naked eye, losing this invisibility-like effect. In the invisible state, the concentration of dark matter is not enough. It can protect against things like smoke, but it can't defend against heavy hits.

Regarding the issue of the "Jizo Tribulation", of course, Cheng Li will not leak it to outsiders. So he didn't answer Tang Qiqiao's question at all. just said coldly: "The traps are all set by yourself, of course you know how to crack them, right?"

Tang Qiqiao shuddered and nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, of course I understand." In fact, I am the only one who can remove all the organs here. Not even the hosts. After I set up a lot of traps, I didn't tell him. ”

Cheng Li commanded: "That's the best." Lead the way ahead and lead us to the Welcome Hall. ”

Hu Yuji turned sideways and got out of the way, and said viciously: "Be honest, don't play any tricks." Otherwise, you're guaranteed to hit the ground right away. ”

Tang Qiqiao hung his head and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." "After all, life and death are in the hands of others, and no matter how helpless you are, you have no choice but to take a step forward and move forward.

But no matter how fast or slow he went, Captain Echizen's blade was always firmly on his neck, as if it had taken root. If Tang Qiqiao originally had some careful thoughts, then now, these careful thoughts have already flown out of the clouds.

It is indeed much more convenient to have such a well-informed person to lead the way. In less than half a pillar of incense, Cheng Li and Hu Yuji were already safe and sound, and they had walked through more than a dozen halls. There is no trace of any trap.

When the road came to an end, there was a sudden light in front of me. Immediately afterward, bright lights, buzzing voices, and enticing aromas rushed to the face.

Cheng Li raised his eyes and looked around, only to see that this place was like a spacious and gorgeous hall again. All kinds of people gather in it. Sitting or standing, or holding a tall glass wine glass, while tasting wine and talking with three or five confidants. The atmosphere was very lively.

At first glance, it seems normal. The only thing that is abnormal is that everyone is wearing a very beautifully carved mask on their faces. Under the cover of the mask, everyone hid their true face of Lushan, and no one could recognize anyone's true identity.

Tang Qiqiao trembled and said, "Two, this is the Welcome Hall." Right now...... Can you let go of this knife?"

Cheng Li snorted lightly and put the long knife into the sheath with his backhand. "What's the matter with these masks?"

Hu Yuji said: "You don't need to ask him about this, I know." The owner of the Pinjin Cave invited guests from all over the world to gather here. These guests may have a grudge against each other. Once they meet, they may have to start a battle and cause all kinds of disputes. Therefore, the owner of the gold cave stipulated that all guests who came to the island should wear a mask. In this way, no one can see anyone. Naturally, there will be no more disputes. ”

Cheng Li shook his head and said: "This simple mask, can you really hide your identity? ”

"Haha~ Although it's self-deception, it can't be said to be useless. You need to know, isn't this person mixing in the rivers and lakes, isn't it just a face? So sometimes, it's not that there is really any life-and-death enmity between who and who can't be resolved, and you must fight to the death. I really can't wipe off my face, so I can only fight to the death.

It's better now, put on a mask, and everyone can at least pretend not to know who the other person is. Wouldn't it be nice to put aside your grudges and concentrate on your pleasures for a while?"

The sound of grinning voices came from the side. Cheng Li looked back and smiled. I saw that the person who spoke was also wearing a mask. But he has a short body and a round belly. As soon as he spoke, the fat all over his body seemed to be trembling. If this person is not Le Dashao, who else can he be? Also, the thin bamboo pole figure behind him is not Le Dashao's personal bodyguard?
