Chapter 577: Suspicion
For Tang Geng, these things that Lu An said really made his head big, he knew that he wouldn't ask so many words, in this way, at least he didn't need to think about it so much, but now there is a feeling of tossing him to death, it's really a bit tiring!
Not only Tang Geng, but also Lu An, sitting on the chair and tapping on the tabletop.
The sound of "knock knock" directly annoyed Tang Geng, and he scolded directly: "Don't knock, don't knock, if you knock again, your head will explode!"
Lu An withdrew his hand, but smiled helplessly, "What do you think we should do now?"
Tang Geng shook his head directly, and said with a smile: "You ask me, how do I know this, I just knew these things, how can I know what to do next!"
"Since that's the case, we can only wait for Xiao Wu to come over. Lu An sighed.
Tang Geng immediately sat up straight, and asked in surprise, "Do you want to have a showdown with Xiao Wu?"
"How is it possible! I am not so sure now, I naturally will not talk to him about this matter now, at most I will communicate with him a little, the specific matter depends on his reaction, I think he must know something, it is impossible not to know anything at all. Lu An said.
Tang Geng felt that it made sense, and nodded directly, "Well, then that's the only way to do it!"
Then the two of them began to drink sullen wine, which was drunk until dark.
There was finally a noise outside the house, and a man walked quickly towards the two, and the two of them sat down in an instant.
Xiao Wu pushed the door in, and saw that the two of them were already drinking, and a displeased expression suddenly appeared on his face, "You guys didn't wait for me?"
Tang Geng got up directly, and greeted Xiao Wu for the first time, "Elder Xiao Wuxiao, I'm Tang Geng!
Xiao Wu smiled and nodded, "That's right, it's the first time I've met you, but I already knew about your existence, the city lord of Craftsman City, yes, you are promising, and you are compared to the former Wu Jieyou!"
The last sentence touched Tang Geng's heart, which made him feel extra embarrassed, smiled directly, and poured Xiao Wu a glass of wine, "Please!"
Xiao Wuwu didn't refuse, he drank it all directly, and then looked at Lu An, "Lu An, we really haven't seen each other for a long time! I'm very relieved to see you like this, I didn't expect you to reach the Grandmaster so quickly, it's really gratifying!"
Lu An directly raised his glass and toasted, "Xiao Lao, I respect you!"
Xiao Wu drank this glass of wine very happily, with a happy expression on his face, as if he had seen his juniors grow up, which could only be described as happy and gratifying.
Lu An observed Xiao Wu's expression, and the worry in his heart relaxed slightly, Xiao Wu who looked like this naturally couldn't be an accomplice, and the stone in Lu An's heart could be regarded as letting go.
Immediately, the three of them chatted a little, and after drinking, Xiao Wu became extraordinarily kind, probably because he saw Lu An again after many years.
Whatever the reason, it seems to be a good phenomenon for Lu An, at least Xiao Wu has not caused any estrangement.
Lu An was naturally the same, and gradually became extraordinarily kind to talk, chatting with Xiao about what he had seen and heard in the past few days.
Although Xiao Wu generally knew Lu An's whereabouts, listening to Lu An say it in person, it was naturally a different feeling.
As soon as the stubble was opened, several people gradually became active, and Tang Geng also said casually with a hint of drunkenness.
"Old man Xiao, why did you suddenly leave the northern border? Do you know that after you left the northern border, all this has changed, and it is no longer what you think!" Tang Geng said with disgust.
These words directly made Xiao Wu smile, "How much change can there be, isn't it just getting better and worse? It's not as difficult to understand as you imagined." ”
Tang Geng suddenly became excited, "Nonsense, do you know how powerful these people are in Xiaoyao Pavilion now? Let's just say that Lan Feng rushed directly to our craftsman city to beg for the spirit realm, and it was not okay not to give it, and even stumbled to embarrass us, and it just happened that Lu An came back, otherwise, I would have to kill on a large scale!"
"Lan Feng, you can't kill this person, you can kill the others casually, the north is already chaotic now, although there is a relationship with Xiaoyao Pavilion, but it's not all the reason for Xiaoyao Pavilion, it's just because Xiaoyao Pavilion is involved, this is no choice, so even if I'm in the north, the north will still be chaotic, it's useless for you to blame anyone." Tang Geng said with a smile.
These words suddenly made Tang Geng roll his eyes, this suffering has not yet been narrated, and then he snorted twice.
After drinking happily, Xiao Wu looked at Lu An and got down to business, "Lu An, are there any other things that you are willing to come to Zhongzhou this time?" Otherwise, I don't think you would be willing to take such a risk to come to Zhongzhou." ”
"Oh, what do you mean by danger, Old Xiao?" asked Lu An curiously.
Xiao Wu smiled, "What else can there be, aren't your current enemies only these two groups of people, one is Taiyizong, and the other is the haunting underworld, Zhongzhou is not as active as the north, their activity here is far more obvious than that of the north, and they are much bolder, I think you should know, right?"
"I've heard of it, but there are some things that don't come, and I can't do anything, so I can only come. Lu An said very seriously.
Xiao Wu asked curiously, "What is the thing you are referring to?"
"One is naturally the matter of this Yunzhou, and the other is also the most important thing, my master's matter, I don't know if Xiao Lao has any new news. Lu An asked with a very serious expression.
These words suddenly made the situation cold, and Tang Geng, who was still a little drunk just now, also looked at Xiao Wu directly.
Xiao Wu put down the chopsticks in his hand, and instead of answering, he asked rhetorically, "Do you know something?"
"What do you mean by Old Xiao?" Lu An replied seriously.
"If you don't know anything, how could you possibly run to Midstate to find news, because this doesn't make sense. Xiao Wu said.
Lu An nodded, "Since you said so, Elder Xiao, then you should know a lot of things, otherwise how would you know that there is news of my master in Zhongzhou." ”
Being stared at by Lu An with such a hot gaze, Xiao Wu had no way to avoid this question, so he chuckled directly, and then said, "Actually, it's not unreasonable for you to guess like this, I do know some things, and the reason why I haven't told you about it is because your previous strength is not worth knowing such news, because it's useless if you know, and it will only add to your troubles." ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu An and Tang Geng immediately sat up, looked at Xiao Wu very seriously, and waited for him to speak.
"After you left the craftsman city, you understood that you had communicated with us through letters, so we roughly knew what he was going to do, but this thing was more dangerous, as for how he died in the end, to be honest, we are really not sure, but later there was news that he had been to Zhongzhou, and it was very likely that he died in Zhongzhou, which is the possibility of our speculation. Xiao Wu replied.
"Who are we, who else but you?" Lu An hurriedly asked.
"In addition to me, the other person is Wu Jie, and he should know as much as I know. Xiao Wu replied.
These words made Lu An's whole person fall into a trace of panic, but after a while, he nodded, "And then? You knew these things from the beginning, and you knew that he might be sent to death?"
Xiao Wu nodded, "That's right, we know that he is going to do two very important things, and we naturally can't stop him." ”
"Two things?" Lu An frowned.
"The first thing is naturally for you, your cultivation is the Five Elements Technique, the starting point is so high, if you want to find other kinds of Five Elements Essence, this is not an easy matter, so he plans to help you find it, not to mention finding it and bringing it back, at least he has to help you find the direction!"
"The second thing can also be regarded as for you, but it may also be for himself, for your sect, the Sun Moon Sect has been incognito for so many years, but it still can't escape the pursuit of the underworld, even in your generation, there are still people chasing and killing you, he naturally intends to find out about this matter, otherwise, you won't be able to escape this fate in the future!"
Xiao Wu said two things, these two things made Lu An take a deep breath, "Go on!"
"The first thing is going relatively smoothly, your promise to go to the Northern Regions Snow Mountain is something that a few of us agree to, because there is indeed a Five Elements Essence in the Northern Regions Snow Mountain, that is, the water spirit you got, but our gang can't find it, but you are different, as the descendant of the Sun Moon Sect, you also absorb a Five Elements Essence, this is your reliance, of course, there is another layer of ideas, you have to go to the Northern Regions Snow Mountain, to awaken the Snow Emperor who has long since died, this is also something we think about. Xiao Wu opened his mouth to explain.
These words made Tang Geng a little uneasy, the things involved in this are really a bit complicated, but they can't be explained casually, because didn't everything start from this matter?
He couldn't have imagined that all this was actually arranged by someone, so this is too terrifying! Someone controlled all this, and began to lay out it many years ago, and Lu An was the first chess piece, and it was also the most important chess piece!
Thinking of this, Tang Geng said directly excitedly: "Who are you arranging for, who are you doing, why are you doing this!"
"Actually, I can't tell you about this for the time being, but you have already guessed a trace, so you can only confess, we did set up a bureau, one of the goals is to lure out all the people in the underworld, not only the people in the north, but also the people in Zhongzhou, southern Xinjiang, etc., the most important thing is the leader behind them, this is the person we want to find!" Xiao Wu replied.
"Have you found it now?" asked Lu An cautiously.
Xiao Wu nodded, "Found it! But I haven't found it all yet!"
The two of them were startled at the same time, and asked directly: "Who? Who have you found?"
"To be precise, it should be suspicious, the underworld is just a group of thugs, and there is a group of people who really lead the affairs above the thugs, but there is another group of people above these people who lead the affairs, a group of people who are hiding behind the scenes, and we suspect that there are such people in the Xiaoyao Pavilion. Xiao Wu said.
"Who?" Tang Geng immediately asked.
"Blue Mountain!" Xiao Wuji said solemnly.
As soon as this name was said, the two of them were directly shocked, this is almost impossible, the pavilion master of Xiaoyao Pavilion will be a person from the underworld, if it is, wouldn't something big happen!
Xiaoyao Pavilion is such a special sect, almost the entire five places they control a lot of information, and now someone tells you that Xiaoyao Pavilion is a person from the underworld, then it can be said that everything in the five places is carried out under the nose of the underworld.
The reason why the underworld can be hidden so well is now that it can be said, because the Xiaoyao Pavilion itself is!
Tang Geng didn't know what to say anymore, knowing these things made him feel like he couldn't say it, he was really annoyed, right? I had known that I wouldn't take the initiative to wade into this muddy water, but now that I knew these things, what should he do?
Although the Craftsman City has already done this, it doesn't seem to be enough! Not only is it cut off, but there are also blocks, but how easy is this to do? The people of the Xiaoyao Pavilion are all over the five places, and everyone may be the eyeliner of the Xiaoyao Pavilion, is this something that can be blocked if you want to? It is almost too possible to achieve it.
But now there is another thing in front of him, that is, whether the person in front of him is worth believing, even Lan Shan is suspected by the other party, what if this is a lie thrown by the other party?
The trust that had just been established collapsed in Tang Geng's heart in an instant, and he really didn't know who to trust!
There was a person in his mind, and Wu Xie should be the only person he could trust! Except for this person, it seemed that no one else could believe it, right?
Tang Geng actually had a kind of reliance at this time, he desperately wanted to go back to the north, visit Wu Xie well, and let the other party give him some guidance!
But now it seems a little out of place, he looked directly at Lu An on the side, and found that Lu An seemed to be the same, his expression was extremely erratic, and he was also at a loss.
Xiao Wu looked at the expressions of these two young people and laughed helplessly, "I know you must be surprised, so this is also the reason why I don't want to tell you too early, you know that it is not a good thing for you, although it is barely qualified now, but this time is not really ripe, and it is useless to know!"
Lu An didn't know what expression to use to deal with, today's news was the same as yesterday's, it also made him feel extremely shocked, and he still didn't know how to digest this news.
Xiao Wu laughed again, "What do you think now?" Although it is just a suspicion, there are indeed many unnatural places in the Blue Mountain, except for him, the most suspicious thing is the Dark Domain Hall in Zhongzhou, what do you say? Tang Geng? There should be a lot of monsters in this thing, right?"
Tang Geng nodded silently, he naturally knew a lot about the Dark Domain Palace, and many of the things in it were indeed very similar to the Underworld, which was also one of the reasons why he left the Dark Domain Palace, but he didn't know the real connection between them, and he hadn't been exposed to such a high level.
"I'm just suspicious, and there's no real evidence. Tang Geng said.
Xiao Wu nodded, "Well, now I am naturally suspicious, just like I doubt Blue Mountain, but these are just some suspicions." ”
"Can you tell me the reason?What do you suspect this person, he is the pavilion master of the Xiaoyao Pavilion, don't you feel strange if you suspect your own pavilion master?" Lu An suddenly looked at Xiao Wu.
"I knew you would ask that, and it doesn't hurt to tell you, your master's death has something to do with Xiaoyao Pavilion, he has been to Zhongzhou before, and twice!" Xiao Wu explained.
However, when these words came out, Tang Geng and Lu An looked calm, without any surprise.
"You already know, it seems that you know more things than I thought, I seem to be underestimating you a little!" Xiao Wu said with a little surprise.
Lu An did not deny it, and nodded directly.
"Lu An, I don't know if you ever suspected something?" Xiao Wu suddenly looked at Lu An with a smile.
"What's the matter?" Lu An looked puzzled.
"It's the first Five Elements Essence you ever absorbed, where did this thing come from, I don't know if you've ever thought about it?" Xiao Wu asked.
"Didn't my master find someone to exchange? He said that it was exchanged with the old Taoist priest of Xiaoyao Pavilion, and it cost him half of his family money. Lu An still remembers these words clearly.
Hearing this explanation, Xiao Wu laughed directly, "Do you think you believe it yourself? This is just Xiao Wu's statement to deceive you, don't you know how thick his family is? There is only a dilapidated blacksmith shop, and the little thing worth the money is the small cave that he hid by himself, and I don't know how many good things there are in it, but it is definitely not much, and how many spirit crystals did he give you when you left the craftsman city?
Lu An was directly stunned.
"Now you know, how poor this little old man is, you know! Do you think such a person would have such a family background to replace you with a Five Elements Essence? Even if it was exchanged for it from an acquaintance, which acquaintance do you think is so generous?" Xiao Wu asked.
Lu An gradually fell silent.
"He told you that this was an exchange between him and the old Taoist, but unfortunately, the old Taoist is now dead, and this matter has a beginning and no end, you want to confirm whether this is true or false, it has become impossible at all, and I am also skeptical about the existence of this old Taoist, this person who has only seen Blue Mountain and understands is actually a person from our Xiaoyao Pavilion, a person in Xiaoyao Pavilion, I feel very puzzled, because I have not seen it! This is also my motive for doubting Blue Mountain, because everything points to that person, a person who never existed!" Xiao Wuji said seriously.
Lu An's eyes tightened, and there were gradually some not-so-good conjectures in his heart, a person who had never appeared, but in some cases it was indeed a person who really existed, just like the old man, existence and non-existence, just a different identity!
"I once asked Lan Shan about this, but unfortunately, Lan Shan didn't tell me about it, and even showed a rather strange expression, with a disdain and a joke, and finally he said to me, I know what you do, but I didn't stop it, because it's not my business!" Xiao Wuji said calmly.
But these words made Tang Geng shake his head, and asked in confusion: "This is impossible! Lan Shan knows that you are looking for these people, and even knows that you are suspicious of him, and he still says this to you, doesn't this already prove that he admits it?"
"I said that I am from the underworld, do you believe me?" Xiao Wu asked directly.
This question instantly stunned both of them at the same time, and they didn't know how to answer it for a while.
"My reaction at that time was actually the same as the two of you, and I also reacted like this, so speaking doesn't mean anything, the key is evidence, knowing what he did, so that it can be regarded as real confirmation, and he didn't admit that he was, he just told the truth, and he was telling you about it later. Xiao Wu sighed after speaking.
The three of them fell silent for a moment, and after a long time, Lu An opened his mouth and asked, "Since you are suspicious of Blue Mountain, then why do you still stay in Xiaoyao Pavilion with peace of mind, and you have done so many things for Xiaoyao Pavilion, don't you have any other ideas?"
Xiao Wu laughed, "The idea is naturally there, but unfortunately I'm still looking for evidence, so it's useless, since Blue Mountain is so calm, then why should I directly turn against him? It's not necessary for the time being, the time hasn't come yet!"
The two of them benefited a lot from these words, and both of them nodded seriously.
"Then when is your so-called timing?" Tang Geng was still a little unwilling.
"Soon, during this time, you may have to wait for someone to come, wait for someone to leave!" Xiao said mysteriously.
Lu An said directly: "The person who left should be the demi-saint of the Taiyi Sect, right? But who is the person who came?"
Xiao Wu shook his head, "I can't tell you now, it's not interesting to say it, you can only wait, prepare for the next Yunzhou Conference, this conference is a thing not to be missed, especially you Lu An, you have to work hard!"
Lu An nodded silently.
Tang Geng naturally didn't like this kind of behavior of selling Guanzi, but he couldn't help it, who made Xiao Wu's strength stronger than him, and these things were only known to Xiao Wu, he could only stare at Xiao Wu helplessly, and then snorted coldly.
Xiao Wu tidied up his clothes and took the last sip of wine, "Living well is the king, this world is not as easy as you think, maybe every step you take is made by others to let you go, when you can jump out of this circle, then all this will suddenly become clear!"
