Chapter 450: Who's Counted
The intrigue on the rivers and lakes is actually a battle of wits and courage.
Whoever uses the plan will be the one who is in the plan; Who is tricked, and who is deceived?
In fact, everything depends on who is wiser and who is more careful.
Careful people are not necessarily wise, but most wise people are very careful.
However, there is a kind of wisdom and carefulness that is often associated with stupidity and madness, because it is beyond the object.
After Tang Muhe, Tang Muxian and Ghost Blood were rescued from the tomb by Tang Zhong, there seemed to be some changes in their hearts. And Tang Zhong was even more unusual, his words became a little less, and he was slightly obviously a little unhappy, as if he was thinking about something.
It's Tang Muxiang alone, from the moment he set off with Tang Zhong, he was still the ghost one.
Even so, they would inevitably ask Tang Zhong about what happened in the second half of last night, and Tang Zhong naturally answered truthfully.
When the three elders of the Tang Sect heard Tang Zhong say that the demon seemed to be a father-in-law, the three elders of the Tang Sect had already guessed the true identity of that person, and they also knew that they were almost trained to become human ghosts. Because among the rivers and lakes, at present, only the ghost demon Wu Kuiwu Gonggong knows how to practice ghost thaumaturgy, and this place happens to be not far from the capital, and the geographical location is very consistent.
Ghost Blood had been playing with Tang Zhong non-stop yesterday, but today, he suddenly didn't say a word, maybe it was probably because Tang Zhong's own words had become less.
The five of them had already entered the city, but they were all a little hungry, so they decided to find a place to fight first, and then go to Xiao Wang's Mansion to meet Tang Mugong and the others.
The three elders of the Tang Sect are not the first time they have come to the capital, and they have been here many times, so they are naturally very familiar with the capital. The five of them found a tavern, ordered some wine and food casually, Tang Zhong also asked for some pastries alone, and asked the ghost blood: "Hey! What do you want? ”
Because Tang Zhong felt that the name of the ghost blood was very strange, even though the two of them had a very good time, he didn't even know how to call him, so every time he called him, he only called him "Hey". The ghost blood didn't know how to call Tang Zhong even more, so he followed his example and called him "Hey" as well. came and went, and "hey" became the most special name for the two of them.
When Ghost Blood heard Tang Zhong ask him, he only moved his lips, but he seemed to feel a little embarrassed, so he didn't even speak.
"Oh! He doesn't like pastries. Although Tang Muxiang just answered a very simple question casually for the ghost blood, it made Tang Muhe, Tang Muxian, and even Tang Zhong feel a little uncomfortable.
This is the first time that the ghost blood has really appeared on the rivers and lakes, if it is not for the people of the Poisonous Beast Gorge, how can they know his habits? Tang Muhe and Tang Muxian are already old rivers and lakes, although they were touched, they didn't show it on their faces. Tang Zhong was young after all, and when he heard Tang Mu answer before the ghost blood, his face was slightly embarrassed. If it weren't for Xiao Er's already bringing wine and food at this time, I was afraid that the atmosphere on the table would be embarrassing for a while.
Ghost Blood is usually a little afraid of life, but at this moment, he naturally stopped talking, and he also felt a little strange. Tang Muxiang didn't seem to have noticed anything, but he already felt that something was wrong.
"Could it be that when they were buried alive, the two junior brothers couldn't support it for a while, and they all went back to their senses?" Tang Muxiang seemed to be the first to have doubts, he seemed to have felt that Tang Muhe and Tang Muxian in front of him were no longer his two junior brothers, but the real Tang Muhe and Tang Muxian at all.
Although Tang Muhe and Tang Muxian also noticed that the second brother was a little strange, because they had been controlled for a period of time, they couldn't remember some things at all, and they didn't react as quickly as Tang Muxiang.
It is said that Tang Muhe and Tang Muxian also have soul fixing needles locked on the top of their heads, and their primordial spirits have been suppressed, and without the help of external forces, it is generally impossible to wake up automatically.
But by mistake, they were all buried by Wu Kui, and Ghost Two and Ghost Three both thought that the plan had failed, so they took the lead in returning to the original spirit. Ghost 2 and Ghost 3 have already returned to their senses, so the real Tang Muhe and Tang Muxian really woke up. But as soon as the two woke up, they found themselves trapped, just like Tang Muxiang. So they also used their true qi at the same time, wanting to break away from their own acupoints, but they didn't expect that after many efforts, they really broke away from the acupoints, and when Tang Zhong was about to save them, he escaped from the grave on his own. Not only did they rush through their acupoints, but even the soul fixing needles on their heads were forced out of their bodies.
Why can't Tang Muxiang rush to open the acupoint, but Tang Muhe and Tang Muxian can rush away?
The reason is only that although Ghost One occupies Tang Muxiang's body and can also use his internal strength, it is not him after all, there are many exercises that only Tang Muxiang's Yuan Shen can know, but he can't know it at all. Tang Muhe and Tang Muxian are not only extremely skilled, but also have a wide range of knowledge, but their techniques of rushing to the acupoints are incomparable to those of the ghosts. Another reason is that whenever Tang Muxiang wants luck to break through the acupoint, the soul fixing needle on his head is also forced out of his body by internal forces at the same time. He didn't want to return to his senses so quickly, so he gave up rushing to the acupoint on his own. If it wasn't a last resort, he would never have returned to his senses. Based on these two reasons, Ghost One did not rush through the acupuncture point in Tang Muxiang's body in the end, but Tang Muhe and Tang Muxian, who returned to the original god, both succeeded.
This also seems to vaguely show that no matter how good other people's things are, they are not their own. No matter how bad your own things are, you have them after all.
In this way, a more complicated situation has been created, Tang Muhe and Tang Muxian have recovered their true bodies, but Tang Muxiang's body is still occupied by ghosts.
The moment Tang Zhong came out of Tang Muxiang, he had already discovered the difference between the three of them. Because he saw that there was still a person standing behind the second grandfather, but there was no one behind the third grandfather and the fourth grandfather. So now in front of the table, there are actually two people from the Poison Beast Gorge and three people from the Tang Sect.
Although Tang Zhong knew the cause and effect of the matter best, he didn't know much about the Dafa of Soul Transfer, so he couldn't explain it clearly to the third and fourth grandfathers. Although Tang Muxian and Tang Muhe felt that the second brother was a little weird, they had no memory of the things in the cave, and they couldn't figure out for a while whether Tang Muxiang was still controlled by the ghost.
When Tang Muxian and Tang Muhe rushed open the acupoint, they were even forced out of their bodies with the soul fixing needle, so it was impossible for the primordial spirits of Ghost Two and Ghost Three to come back to control them.
Tang Muxiang was probably able to determine that Tang Muhe and Tang Muxian had recovered their Yuan Shen, and his identity began to be doubted by them.
Tang Muxiang now has two choices, one is to return to the original spirit and give up the task; The second is to disguise yourself and continue to complete your tasks. Of course, if he chooses the second one, he will only have five and a half days.
The dishes were finally served, and Tang Muxiang was just about to eat, when suddenly Tang Muhe stood up and asked Xiao Er, "Little Second Brother, where is your thatched house?" ”
"Ahh Guest officer, the thatched house is in the backyard! Why don't I take you there? Xiao Er replied with a smile.
"Okay!"
"Me too." Tang Zhong saw that people were shitting and their butts were itchy, so he even had to go with the third grandfather.
If Tang Zhong went first and Tang Muhe went later, Tang Muxiang might immediately be suspicious. But now it is Tang Muhe who goes first, Tang Zhong and Tang Zhong, although Tang Muxiang still feels a little weird, but after all, he is not as concerned as the former situation.
Can a fool really have so many eyes? Is this still a fool? If that were the case, he would be a wise man, a very different kind of wise man.
After a while, Tang Muhe still came back first, and after a while, Tang Zhong came back.
"You two, you have to be together in the thatched house, I really can't stand it." Tang Muxiang finally opened his mouth to talk to Tang Muhe, and his tone suddenly became much more cordial, even more cordial than his own brother.
"Huh! Zhong'er has liked to stick to me since he was a child! Tang Muhe replied with a smile.
"Humph! Whatever it takes, it's good that he's not afraid of you. Tang Muxian also interjected.
......
At this moment, the three of them seemed to suddenly tear up the chatterbox, and they chatted very happily, but they forgot about the two little guys.
After eating, Tang Muhe, Tang Muxian and Tang Zhong all decided to go to Xiao Wangfu, Tang Muxiang was a little displeased, but he didn't object.
At this time, Ghost Blood absolutely didn't speak, he even blindly followed behind Tang Zhong, and seemed to feel a little scared of everyone else.
Finally, the five of them still came towards King Xiao's mansion, and Tang Zhong and Ghost Blood still obediently followed behind the three elders.
When Tang Zhong saw that the three grandfathers had walked to the front and didn't pay attention to him at all, he suddenly took out a packet of sweet cakes from his arms, then handed them to the ghost blood and said, "Eat!" I left it for you, it's delicious. ”
When the ghost blood remembered it, the most familiar taste was the smell of blood, and he didn't have his own childhood at all, and he had never even eaten any candy.
However, he has always believed in Tang Zhong very much, because in his opinion, there is only one person in this world who will not hurt him, and that is Tang Zhong.
But when he saw the sweet cake, he hesitated for a while, and finally reluctantly tasted it, and then immediately showed a happy smile, but still did not speak. It seems that the demon blood that barely speaks has returned.
"Is it delicious?" Tang Zhong saw that he didn't speak, so he asked again.
Ghost Blood still didn't answer, but nodded in satisfaction.
"What are you doing?" Tang Muxian saw that the two little guys didn't catch up, so he asked loudly.
"You put it away first, and then eat it slowly." Tang Zhong agreed, "It's coming," and then said to the ghost blood.
The ghost blood was very obedient, and really put away the sweet cake, and then still followed Tang Zhong, only a cigarette rushed to the palace.
Tang Mugong and others really came to King Xiao's Mansion, but they were very happy to see Tang Zhong and Tang Muxiang and others come back, and King Xiao, Ren Xiaoyao, Zhang Yu and others were also very happy to see the three elders of Tang Sect coming. But when Ren Xiaoyao saw Tang Muxiang, his brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Tang Zhong and his wife were separated for a whole day, and they were very happy to see each other again, but when he saw his sworn brother in the fifth line, he actually forgot about his wife again, and only continued to catch up with the fifth line.
Fortunately, Wei Yan also knew the relationship between Tang Zhong and the Fifth Element, so she didn't blame him at all.
