Meng Qi subconsciously took a deep breath, vaguely grasped something, and his heartbeat accelerated.

The gray-haired old man didn't stop on his topic, but smiled instead: "Little brother, you seemed a little irritable before?"

He looked at Meng Qi, his gaze did not drift at all, as if chatting was also a thing that needed to be focused.

It was only at this time that Meng Qi really saw his appearance clearly, he was not as old as he had in his initial impression, purely because the gray hair gave him an illusion, in fact, there were not many wrinkles on his face, between middle age and old age, his facial features were ordinary, but because of that concentration, he had an indescribable charm.

"Yes. Meng Qi suppressed his slightly excited mood, and suddenly had an idea, chatting with his elders like himself, "The junior was involved in a pool of troubled water in Maoling. ”

He quietly changed his name.

The old man didn't care about this, he listened very intently, and finally asked: "Little brother, when you left yesterday, the knot in your heart was untied, and your mood was basically calm, but you became irritable before, because of what happened later?"

He doesn't deliberately hide anything, he doesn't show anything, he is plain, he says what he needs to say,

Meng Qi became more and more sure, groaned, and said directly in a homely chatting tone: "The junior got the clue of the thief last night, and immediately notified his companions, and chased him to the home of Chu Guan, the incense master of the Dajiang Gang, but it was still a step too late, he committed suicide with a sword, and shouted that Wenqu Xingjun would avenge him before he died." ”

"Along the way, we didn't delay, and we all hid our breath in advance, changed our clothes, so as not to be recognized by ordinary people, but we still leaked the news, and the juniors suspected that either there were very strong masters following the juniors, or one of last night's companions was a mole. ”

Normally, the opponent doesn't have to arrange too strong masters to grasp Meng Qi's whereabouts, such as real vendors who set up stalls on the street. Let them record which street Meng Qi and the others went to, and collect them one by one, so as to determine the target, but Meng Qi took this into account in advance, and everyone changed their clothes before going out, hiding their breath.

However, Dai Fei and Chen Yasong, who can follow the half-step exterior scene and are highly vigilant, do not arouse the slightest notice, and the strength of the tracker must be extraordinary.

The old man listened carefully to Meng Qi's narration, and his expression did not change at all, like an endless ocean, even if a boulder fell. It can't stir up big waves.

After listening, he didn't express his opinion, but said with a slight smile in Meng Qi's heart: "You have a tendency? It's not this that is really irritable, right?"

Meng Qi's old face was slightly red, and he scratched his head embarrassedly, and his trick of deliberately climbing the topic was seen through: "Yes, the younger generation already has a tendency, and what is really irritable and distressed is that Chu Guan shouted before he died that Wenqu Xingjun would avenge him." ”

"Well, do you feel disagreeable?" the old man chatted intently.

Meng Qi exhaled. Nodding slightly: "Yes, we haven't found out who he is behind the scenes, and he has registered himself, so let's know that it is Wenqu Xingjun." It feels like death was deliberately planted. ”

At that time, he had other objects of suspicion, and by Chu Guan's shouting, Wenqu Xingjun was exposed at least half, and he could no longer completely hide behind the scenes. It makes people feel that Chu Guan has a grudge against him!

If Chuguan is not persecuted to commit suicide, silence is the best policy, even if he is mad when he is dying. At most, shout "Someone will avenge me", you don't need to name Wenqu Xingjun, if he was forced to commit suicide and even give up his life, why do you have to do more, not afraid that the important "factor" that made him choose death will be destroyed by the people behind the scenes?

At first, I didn't feel it, but after going back and thinking about it, Meng Qi had a sense of disobedience.

"Since you notice that something is wrong, why are you still irritable?" the old man smiled slightly and asked Meng Qi from the bottom of his heart.

Meng Qi smiled self-deprecatingly: "It is precisely because he perceives that something is wrong that the younger generation is irritable, and feels that there is something that has not been thought about clearly, but he has never been able to think of it, until he looks at the portrait of the predecessor and calms down, and then he suddenly realizes it." ”

"What did you understand?" The old man basically didn't express his opinion, and he was talking with Meng Qi.

Meng Qi's face became solemn: "Since the opponent dares to 'play chess' with Wang Siyuan, it shouldn't be so simple for me to see through, the truth is actually buried deeper." ”

"After I think about it, I will feel that shouting 'Wenqu Xingjun' is against harmony, as a person who lays out, he can't think of it?"

"It's like the trap that the younger generation stepped on for the first time, there are obvious coincidences, and the clues are quite deliberate, but the younger generation just thinks that such an old-fashioned conspiracy cannot be used to harm people, if it is a trap, too many loopholes, too stupid, too dependent on coincidence, when it is true, so I think about my strength, I am sure to retreat and wash the dirty water, go to Guanjin Yuan, disrupt the opponent's layout, and the result is really a trap. ”

"Not to mention why it can be arranged so appropriately, what are the inevitable reasons behind it, and why Wang Siyuan said that no matter how he responds, he will be tricked, just the strategy itself, he thinks deeper than me, he knows that I can see that it is wrong, so it is deliberately arranged in an old-fashioned and deliberate way, not at all like a conspiracy designed by a master, which makes me feel too fake and rely on coincidence, but not like a trap. ”

The old man blinked and smiled, "In other words, it's the same this time?"

"Yes, the younger generation can see that shouting 'Wenqu Xingjun' is against the peace, and I believe that others can also see it after calming down, so everyone will subconsciously feel that this is a frame-up, in order to cover up the real people behind the scenes, and then completely ignore 'Wenqu Xingjun'!" Meng Qi's voice was slightly solemn, "Although his name has been exposed, it has really disappeared in our hearts!"

The old man said very cooperatively: "It turned out to be 'Wenqu Xingjun'." ”

"Hmm. Meng Qi nodded, "This is a trap on the level of thinking, as long as he thinks deeper than us, he can play with us between applause." ”

"But why isn't the person behind the scenes thinking deeper than you are now?" is to frame Wenqu Xingjun and hide himself?" the old man asked with a smile.

Meng Qi smiled confidently and said: "The thinking level is not a thing that goes as deep as possible, but relies on the accurate judgment of the enemy's thinking level, and then goes deeper than him, otherwise it will only be self-defeating." ”

"For example, this time, if we are all people who stay at the first level of thinking, 'Wenqu Xingjun' will only backfire and make a commotion, but I was in the middle of the plan last time, Jiang Hengchuan is not a person who does not think, Dai Fei and Chen Yasong are more experienced, one is the head catcher of the green ribbon, and the other is the deputy hall master of Maoling, they will definitely notice the problem and go deep into the second level, and if you want to go deeper, it may be very small, and the people behind the scenes will not risk burying the 'pit' in the third layer and harm themselves. ”

"If it weren't for Wang Siyuan's telling me that someone was 'playing against him', which aroused my attention to the enemy, even if I had previous experience, I wouldn't have thought of the current level. ”

The old man was noncommittal: "What if you really didn't go to the second layer?"

"If I were the one behind the scenes, I would ......," Meng Qi suddenly had an idea in his heart.

The old man didn't wait for him to sort out his words, and smiled: "How is it?

Meng Qi was stunned, but he was really calm, and arched his hand: "Yes, thank you seniors for listening to the kid's nagging." ”

The old man didn't speak again, smiled and nodded, picked up the carving knife and the wooden block again, and carved the wooden statue again, attentive and pious, like a landscape.

Seeing this, Meng Qi understood what he meant, got up to say goodbye, and when he arrived at the mouth of the alley, he quietly clenched his fist and waved, his expression slightly excited.

During this time, as long as you are free, come over to "brush up on favorability"!

............

As soon as he returned to the rented courtyard, Meng Qi saw Jiang Hengchuan wandering at the door.

"Brother Jiang, what's the matter?" Meng Qi greeted him.

Jiang Hengchuan's expression was solemn: "Two things, one is yesterday's incident, I thought about it carefully, I feel that something is wrong, how can there be conspirators who report their homes? Before, we didn't even have a direction, but now we know 'Wenqu Xingjun', it's unreasonable, it's too unreasonable!"

"Well, I also suspect that it was deliberately planted. Meng Qi was stunned and replied with a chuckle.

Jiang Hengchuan saw that his opinion was agreed, and said with a smile: "The hero sees the same thing! I have to quickly inform Dai Qingshou and Hall Master Chen about this matter." ”

"What about the second thing?" Meng Qi was noncommittal.

Jiang Hengchuan switched to using sound transmission to enter the secret: "I have been following Qiu Fei, relying on the realm of the unity of heaven and man, barely being noticed, but it turned out that he went to a hill by the Jinshui River for two consecutive days, and he may go again tonight, so I want to invite Su Shaoxia to hide there in advance with me to see what he is doing." ”

He didn't dare to get too close, for fear of exposing himself.

Meng Qi pinched the reincarnation talisman hidden in his sleeve, and said in a deep voice, "Okay!"

By the Jinshui River, there are singing and dancing, bustling and bustling, and there are also secluded and deserted places, such as this hill outside the city.

Meng Qi and Jiang Hengchuan arrived in advance, found a hidden hiding place, restrained their breath, erased their traces, and waited for the night to come.

There are weeds everywhere, and there are footprints and other traces in some places, but except for Meng Qi and Jiang Hengchuan, there is no one.

I don't know how long it took, the bright moon hung high, the light was rippling, and a figure sneakily climbed the hill, it was Qiu Fei, the "wind chasing stick".

Carrying a red eyebrow stick, he watched warily behind him, looking around.

Meng Qi and Jiang Hengchuan each used their own means, one relied on the various skills of spiritual release and the precise control of eight or nine Xuangong, and the other relied on the unity of heaven and man, and narrowly escaped Qiu Fei.

After Qiu Fei finished checking, he suddenly stepped on the spot, with great strength and a clanging sound.

"What is he going to do?" Meng Qi was slightly surprised, this move was too weird.

Suddenly, the ground squirmed, the earth protruded, and two figures came out, their breath was weak, and their faces were pale, as if they were alive and dead.

"Life and death impermanence sect!" Meng Qi's heart suddenly stirred, and some of his past questions seemed to have been answered to a certain extent!

Why didn't the people of the Impermanence Sect arrive on the day they found the old man leaving?

Why did they chase Lao Zhong for so long, but only found clues during that time?

Why did a non-core disciple carry a living dead with an exterior level?

Why is there no news of the crazy Ningzhou heroes after that? (To be continued......)
