Chapter 669: Fake Death
Xian'er opened her mouth to say something, but Luo Fei pulled her: "The second master is indeed the best choice to follow us." ”
Xian'er closed her mouth and gave me a big roll of the eyes.
The second master sighed and said, "Okay, what, I'll call Wang Lei again." How do we communicate with each other, do we use mobile phones? ”
I said, "Let's meet at the main hall in four hours." The gang is hiding deeply, everyone be careful. ”
Yan Xiaotian didn't say a word of nonsense, nodded at me and went out to find Liu Shangang, the second master and Xian'er discussed the next exploration route, and left after a while.
Originally, I also wanted to hurry up and go out, but Liang Houzai pulled me and motioned for me to wait.
It wasn't until everyone else was gone that I had a chance to ask him, "What did you just pull me for, do you have anything to say?" ”
Liang Houzai said: "I was thinking just now, since Zhou Tianshi can change the memory of the fierce god, is it possible for him to change the memory of other people. For example, Li Bingshen, such as Yan Xiaotian, such as Zhao Dekai. ”
I couldn't help frowning: "What do you mean?" ”
Liang Houzai: "Do you remember, Yan Xiaotian once said that Zhao Dekai was indeed a good person in his early years, but one year he practiced evil skills, and after he succeeded, his whole person changed. ”
I nodded, "Remember, why did you talk about this all of a sudden...... Ah, you mean that Zhao Dekai's temperament has changed greatly, not because he has practiced evil skills, but because his memory has been tampered with? ”
Liang Houzai: "Well, that's what I thought. A person's experience determines his personality, and past experiences are retained in memory, and when memories are tampered with, the personality will also change. Yan Xiaotian's master and fierce god are the best ions. You think, if Zhao Dekai's temperament changed greatly more than ten years ago, it means that Zhou Tianshi or Luo Zhongxing have been lurking in Baiwu Mountain for at least that long. He can do a lot in these dozen years. ”
"Well, that makes sense." I nodded and said, "But why didn't you say this kind of thing just now, and you have to wait until now?" ”
Liang Houzai said with some embarrassment: "Brother Dao, I said this, don't be angry." I remember Luo Fei said that when Zhao Dekai's temperament changed greatly, she was still spending the night in Baiwu Mountain. ”
I couldn't help but widen my eyes: "You doubt Luo Fei?" How could it be her! ”
Liang Houzai: "So don't let you be angry, I think that all the people who got involved with Luo Youfang at that time were suspicious, including Yan Xiaotian and Yan Xiaotian's sister." In fact, Luo Fei and Yan Xiaotian are not very suspicious, and I now suspect that Ye Fanxin may be a fake death. ”
His inference this time is too shocking, I have seen Ye Fanxin's corpse, the person is indeed dead, the wound on the chest and the residual spirit cannot deceive people, but Liang Houzai actually said that she faked her death!
Liang Houzai probably saw my doubts and said to me: "I try to imagine that Ye Fanxin is Zhou Tianshi. In the past two years, the actions of the funeral cult have become more and more frequent, and if she is the person I imagined, she should also have a big move during this time period. And the best way for her to let go of her hands and feet in Baiwu Mountain without making people suspect her is to fake her death. And if I'm not mistaken, she was not originally from Baiwu Mountain Gate, it was Zhao Dekai who accepted her, and she was the closest person to Zhao Dekai, and she was the easiest to attack Zhao Dekai......"
I waved my hand to interrupt Liang Houzai: "Haven't we seen Ye Fanxin's corpse?" She was indeed dead, and the spirit left in her could not be fooled. ”
"That's where I wonder," Liang said, "Actually, the corpse is also suspicious." Brother Dao, don't forget, when we went to see the ice coffin, we didn't see the wound on Ye Fanxin's neck, if she could tamper with her memory, it would be completely possible for Yan Xiaotian and the old master to think that she had killed herself. Even if it is the second master and Wang Lei, who have done an autopsy for her, their memories may be tampered with. ”
I frowned: "But how do you explain the remnants?" ”
Liang Houzai: "This is the only thing that can't be explained. But you can try to think about it, with Ye Fanxin's understanding of Yan Xiaotian, she can easily deduce that Yan Xiaotian will definitely not cremate her body until he finds the so-called murderer. And the strangest thing is that after Ye Fanxin's death, Yan Xiaotian didn't contact us immediately, and the old master also said that we are Yan Xiaotian's best friends, and when this kind of thing happens, Yan Xiaotian's first thought should be a few of us. ”
I scratched my scalp: "Maybe he was dragged down by the internal affairs of Baiwu Mountain, and he didn't have the time to contact us." ”
Liang Houzai shook his head: "This is not in line with Yan Xiaotian's original temper. I think that when I saw him this time, his personality also changed slightly. ”
I pursed my lips: "It's useless to talk about this now, otherwise, let's go to the ice coffin again?" ”
Liang Houzai immediately nodded: "I think so too." ”
To be honest, I don't believe much in Liang Houzai's speculation. But I haven't forgotten that in the past, he always found things I couldn't find, and his speculations were almost never wrong.
After Liang Houzai and I left the secret room, we went straight to the gate of Baiwu Mountain, and none of us spoke along the way, until we went out, and the fierce god instructed Liang Houzai to go to the secret room often when he had time in the future.
After leaving the gate of Baiwu Mountain, Liang Houzai let go of his courage to talk to me, he said, if his inference is correct, Ye Fanxin has now left the ice coffin, for her, the biggest threat is not a few of us, but the second master, if she has the heart, she will definitely follow the second master in person.
However, Liang Houzai also had other worries, he was worried that those burial cult eyeliners lurking in Baiwu Mountain might have told Ye Fanxin about us leaving the mountain gate, and Ye Fanxin might return to the ice coffin one step ahead of us.
Facts have proved that Liang Houzai's inference is likely to be correct, when we came to the supply point close to Baiwu Mountain, we found that the coffin lid was opened, and Ye Fanxin's body was missing.
I tried to touch the cotton at the bottom of the ice coffin, Yan Xiaotian laid this layer of cotton, originally to prevent Ye Fanxin from frosting on his body and freezing with the coffin, but now, this thick layer of cotton proves to us that Ye Fanxin is indeed not dead.
In the middle of the two layers of cotton, a trace of temperature remains.
Liang Houzai also touched the cotton with his hand and said to me, "She just left not long ago. ”
Recalling the last time I saw Ye Fanxin's corpse, when I put my finger on her forehead, her forehead was cold, but it had not yet reached the same low temperature as the inner wall of the ice coffin.
At this time, Liang Houzai said to me again: "The last time Baiwu Mountain was cleaned, Zhao Dekai was rescued, and at that time, Ye Fanxin didn't seem to be in our sight." ”
I regret it a little in my heart, if I had found out that there was something wrong with Ye Fanxin's body a few hours ago, when she was lying in the ice coffin, we could easily catch her, now it's okay, let her run away!
"Maybe that's good news," Liang Houzai patted me on the shoulder and said to me, "At least Luo Fei and Yan Xiaotian are a little less suspicious." In addition, the news of our departure from the mountain gate did not reach Ye Fan's ears, which also shows that she did not have as many eyeliners in Baiwu Mountain as she imagined. ”
I sighed: "Ye Fanxin's matter, it's best not to tell Yan Xiaotian about them first." She hides very deeply, and if we deliberately look for her, we may not be able to pull her out, but can only lure the snake out of the hole. ”
Liang Houzai nodded: "What do you mean...... Take advantage of that Lee Byung-shin. ”
"Well, Li Bingshen must know something, we have to find a way to make him show some horses." I say.
Liang Houzai: "Brother Dao, have you found it, Ye Fanxin doesn't seem to be able to modify the memories of the people around you." ”
I raised my eyebrows: "What do you mean by that?" ”
Liang Houzai thought for a while before responding to me: "I can deduce that Ye Fan has a problem, it is because my memory has not been changed, in fact, she can completely change our memory, so that we think that the last time I came to check the corpse, I saw the wound on her neck." The fierce god said, your Tianyan is real, and Zhou Tianshi's Tianyan is fake, do you want to tell us that the ability of Tianyantong does not work for you? ”
"There is such a possibility," I nodded, "I guess Ye Fanxin shouldn't rush to us until she finds what she wants." In this way, let's go to Baiwu Mountain to visit according to the plan, let's say okay first, when we ask questions, we must do our best to hint at those who answer, Li Bingshen is a traitor of the funeral sect, and Yan Xiaotian is about to do something to him. If Li Bingshen hears the wind, he may show his feet. ”
Liang Houzai smiled a little helplessly: "This kind of thing can only be done by you, your kung fu of scaring people is much better than mine, and besides, you don't know it, I can't open my mouth when I see a stranger." ”
"Alas, your problem is also a problem, and it needs to be corrected. Let's go back to Baiwu Mountain. I patted Liang on the shoulder and walked towards the entrance to the supply point.
This time when we entered the supply point, Liang Houzai and I didn't move anything except for touching the cotton in the ice coffin, and the lid of the ice coffin was still open with a gap large enough for one person to enter and exit. We must make Ye Fanxin think that she is still hiding in the shadows.
Except for those who have only been recruited into Baiwu Mountain in the past two years, most of the children of Baiwu Mountain know me Liang Houzai, and they also know our relationship with Yan Xiaotian, so they are more cooperative.
Visiting the people of Baiwu Mountain Gate is secondary, and the main purpose of Liang Houzai's walk this time is to spread a few news.
The first news was that the Treasure Pavilion was stolen, and a very important treasure was stolen, and told the people of Baiwu Mountain Gate that the stolen thing was probably a Tang Sancai porcelain vase from the Tang Dynasty. While spreading this news, we repeatedly asked those people from the Nine Seals Mountain Gate, asking them if Li Bingshen had any unusual behavior recently and whether he had hidden anything.
In this way, fools can understand that we suspect that Li Bingshen is a thief, and Yan Xiaotian is also likely to suspect him.
Later, we asked the people of Baiwu Mountain why the old master started his retreat and when he failed to break through the barrier, and asked them when Li Bingshen was on duty in Hougu.
The purpose of Liang Houzai and I in asking these questions is also very simple, that is, to make the people of Jiufeng Mountain Gate suspect that the failure of the old master to break through the pass was also because of Li Bingshen's troublemaker.
Although there is no direct evidence that Li Bingshen is related to the failure of the old master to break through, the lack of evidence does not mean that he has nothing to do with this matter.
The last few questions that Liang Houzai and I asked were all related to Li Bingshen, such as when he entered Baiwu Mountain, how many people he had in his family, where his hometown was, and whether Li Bingshen behaved abnormally on the nights when Ye Fanxin committed suicide.
In more than three hours, we visited about a dozen places and questioned dozens of Baiwushanmen people. Originally, I just wanted to spread rumors, but I didn't expect to really find some problems.
