When I say that, it's a bit of a compliment.

The reason why I compliment Du Kang is because I have always doubted him recently, and I am a little reluctant to go from the bottom of my heart. But then he said a word, and of course the guilt in my heart disappeared for a moment.

Du Kang spat out a turbid breath and said: "This set of secret weapon kung fu is born from your old family's three-hanging money technique, if it was placed thirty years ago, our flying stone kung fu is not as exquisite as it is now, hey, to put it mildly, at that time, the flying locust stone was just a decoration for us, almost useless." ”

When he said this, I suddenly remembered that my father once said that his one-handed concealment of kung fu was obtained from Du Kang's master with the skill of three hanging coins.

Not to mention that his own craft has been learned by others, and others have also developed more subtle secret weapon kung fu, which is not happy in my heart.

Du Kang collected the flying locust stones, and said to me and Lao Zuo: "Don't talk about today's matter." ”

Lao Zuo was puzzled: "What kind of thing is Senior Du referring to?" ”

Du Kang sighed: "It's just about me and Tang Shaoqing, and I can't let others know." If I let a few people know that I can draw with Tang Shaoqing, it will be troublesome. ”

I was also curious for a moment, so I asked him: "Everyone else is thinking about how to shine the lintel, why do Du seniors have to cover and hide it even if they have made a little merit, this is a bit unreasonable?" ”

Du Kang smiled at me: "There is no way, the situation of our sect is different from others. Anyway, my generation wants to glorify the lintel, and my stupid apprentice may still have a chance. ”

He didn't seem to want to discuss too much on such a topic, so after speaking, he put away the locust stone, turned around to deal with the steel wire array he placed on the ground, and handed me and Lao Zuo a steel rope and asked us to tie up Tang Shaoqing.

Lao Zuo and I tied Tang Shaoqing into zongzi, and Du Kang also cleaned it up, and then we roughly checked the formation of the mountains outside the mountain to make sure that there were no problems, and then left with Tang Shaoqing.

From Tang Shaoqing's corpse to the present, I have always had a question in my heart that has been wandering repeatedly, I can't figure it out, why did Tang Shaoqing flee to Shanwaishan in the first place, he obviously knew that there was a maze array arranged by me and Lao Zuo in Shanwaishan, and he rushed into the mountain, isn't it easy to be trapped by the maze?

I made a lot of assumptions, and tried to use empathy to ponder Tang Shaoqing's mentality at that time, but no matter how I thought about it, he didn't seem to have a reason to choose Shanwaishan as an escape route.

Later, Lao Zuo asked Du Kang: "Senior Du, how do you know that Tang Shaoqing will flee to the side of the mountain?" ”

Du Kang responded: "There is a hiding place established by Tang Shaoqing on this side of the mountain, and that place seems to be located on the periphery of the ecstasy array you have set up, but because its location is too hidden, I have not been able to find it, but I know that every time Tang Shaoqing and his gang enter the forest in the hinterland of the mountain, they will suddenly disappear." ”

I see.

I also asked, "Senior Du, have you been following Tang Shaoqing and his gang all this time?" ”

Du Kang shook his head and said, "Sometimes follow them, sometimes investigate Wang Muzhai." ”

Investigate Wang Muzhai?

I was immediately interested: "What did you find out?" ”

Du Kang said in an uncertain tone: "This Wang Muzhai we saw is probably an impostor, and the real Wang Muzhai may have been hidden by Tang Shaoqing and his gang." ”

Sure enough, I have long suspected that Wang Muzhai is an impostor.

I was a little excited at first, and then I was a little worried because of Du Kang's completely uncertain tone: "What is Senior Du hesitating about?" ”

Du Kang sighed and said, "If you just look at the mental power, this Wang Muzhai is a guy nine times out of ten, and his mental power, whether it is the purity of the essence or the nature of the Qi field, is very different from the real Wang Muzhai. At first, I thought that he might have changed his appearance to Wang Muzhai, but I once observed his face while he was asleep, and there was no trace of his disguise. ”

Lao Zuo blurted out: "It's not easy to disguise, will it be plastic surgery?" ”

Du Kang suddenly realized: "There is indeed this possibility." ”

I picked up the conversation: "In this case, when Donghai comes back, let him carefully investigate this Wang Muzhai, Tang Shaoqing and his gang have been captured, and it is much more convenient for them to move in Donghai than before." ”

Lao Zuo nodded in agreement.

Back in the hinterland of the mountain gate, Li Huaishan and they have also ended the battle, Tang Shaoqing's ability to cultivate apprentices can only be said to be average, even his disciples have also raised their cultivation because of taking the venom of the corpse, and their cultivation combined, it is indeed Li Huaishan and the others added up to a little higher, but due to the lack of actual combat experience, the final battle result was indeed no one on our side was injured, and they were all put down, not even a conscious person.

Lao Zuo checked their bodies for them, and found that all of them had been eroded by corpse poison in their meridians, and their short-term cultivation had skyrocketed, which also caused them to never be able to make any breakthroughs in cultivation from now on.

On the contrary, Tang Shaoqing, due to the abnormal change in his physique, the corpse poison flowed from the meridians into the capillaries, resulting in the dilution of the toxicity in the meridians, and the damage of the corpse poison to the internal organs and meridians was terminated in advance.

In other words, Tang Shaoqing's cultivation did not receive any impact.

Lao Zuo also checked Tang Shaoqing's physical condition, and bluntly said that Tang Shaoqing's corpse transformation was probably premeditated, because some of the corpse poison was forced out of his heart by himself, which showed that he knew what kind of side effects the medicine he gave would have early on, but he did not warn his disciples in advance.

As for why Tang Shaoqing ignored his disciples, we still can't get an answer for the time being.

When Lao Zuo was examining Tang Shaoqing's master and apprentice, I deliberately glanced at Wang Muzhai a few more times.

Wang Muzhai's expression has always been very solemn. At one point he felt my gaze and smiled at me, and although he deliberately tried to disguise the smile as a grateful smile, I saw an unnatural taste in the corners of his mouth.

Tang Shaoqing's failure seemed to be unexpected by Wang Muzhai.

By the way, among the nine people disguised as Tang Shaoqing's master and apprentice, there is also Li Wenqian.

The disguised Li Wenqian is a middle-aged man around fifty years old, and after I used the poison pill to dissolve the toxins on Tang Shaoqing's face, some wrinkles appeared on his face, but not much, and he looked like he was in his fifties.

So, Tang Shaoqing accepted a person of his age as an apprentice?

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the industry, but it is not common, generally speaking, this kind of person who is more than half a hundred years old worships other people's disciples as disciples, usually with art investment teachers, but Tang Shaoqing's disciple seems to be trained by him, and the nature of the Qi field of mental power is exactly the same as him.

What do I think, how do I think it's a little weird.

Originally, we didn't plan to have much intersection with the people of Chang Gung Mountain, and after briefly cleaning up the battlefield, we planned to leave with the prisoners, but before we reached the gate of the post house, Zhong Youtang came up.

Originally, I thought that Zhong Youtang was here to take care of our people.

After all, this is the territory of Chang Gung Mountain, we caught Tang Shaoqing and his gang, theoretically speaking, it should also be handed over to the people of Chang Gung Mountain to take care of, but at the moment we really can't predict what Wang Muzhai will do after getting these captives, so it is absolutely impossible to hand over the captives to Zhong Youtang.

Don't forget, Zhong Youtang's master Wang Muzhai and apprentice Li Wenqian have problems, if it were you, can you believe that Zhong Youtang is innocent, at least I don't dare to trust him easily.

Seeing Zhong Youtang rushing in front of me with an arrow step, blocking the door of me and the post house, I was immediately ready to make a move, but then he said something that I didn't expect: "Are the people outside like you?" ”

I was a little confused, and it took me a moment to realize what Zhong Youtang was.

It seems that this guy is quite adaptable, and he has vaguely realized that the outside world may not be what they imagined.

At the booth where he spoke, there were many people from Chang Gung Mountain Gate who surrounded us, and everyone looked at us with expectant eyes, as if they were waiting for an answer that would reassure them.

What kind of answers do they want? Quite simply, they want us to tell them that in the outside world, cultivators like us are only a handful, and most cultivators are still inferior to theirs. Only in this way can they live peacefully in the small well where they have lived for many years.

It's a pity that Zhong Youtang asked the wrong person, I am not a person who likes to cater to other people's psychology, even if I am willing to cater to them, I can only tell the truth, because I am a bad person.

After pondering for a moment, I said to Zhong Youtang: "In the outside world, we are not the strongest. ”

This is not a lie, above us, there are still three mountains, as well as the second master, and maybe there are some hidden masters hidden in the deep mountains, which we have never seen or heard of.

In fact, I am already very merciful when I say this, after all, I didn't tell Zhong Youtang that your Chang Gung Mountain is just an unpopular sect in the whole industry.

When Zhong Youtang heard my words, his eyes suddenly darkened, and the other mountain sect disciples around him also looked not very interested.

At this time, Lao Zuo said, "Let's go out and have a look." ”

Zhong Youtang glanced up at Lao Zuo, then lowered his head again, and didn't speak for a long time.

Lao Zuo's words just now seemed to move him, but he was very afraid of the outside world, because once he faced the outside world, reality could ruthlessly tear apart his pitiful self-esteem.

Lao Zuo continued: "We have also seen a lot and experienced a lot, and we have grown up little by little. This is the way we do in this industry, people with rich experience are often more likely to climb to higher positions. ”

As he spoke, Lao Zuo stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the post house, while Zhong Youtang turned sideways and avoided the door, allowing us to carry the captives into the post house.
