Xie Yanran didn't have much hope for the Yuanheng Gang, she just wanted to try her luck, but when she learned the news that Ming Shuhui was indeed not there, she couldn't help but fall to the bottom.

"Then where can he go......" Li Kai couldn't help but muttered to himself after hearing what Wan Shulou said.

"I think he was upset when he got separated from you, but he wouldn't have mistaken the matter, and he should be secretly investigating the affairs of the Seibu Altar at this time. Wan Shulou thought for a while and said, "The two of us met in Xiwu Altar before, and we discussed that we would investigate separately. ”

"When did you meet?" asked Li Kai.

"The day after the accident at the Xiwu Altar, later that day, Ming Shuhui returned to the Xiwu Altar, and he didn't know anything about the robbery of the Xiwu Altar at that time, so I told him, and then the two of us decided to go to investigate in two ways. Wan Shulou replied, "By the way, shouldn't you go to the Dongwu Altar after that day? Also, where is Master Yang Zhongping?"

Li Kai told Wanshulou what happened after he left the Xiwu Altar, but he deliberately concealed it from the Six Arts Palace.

Wan Shulou was shocked when he heard it, it turned out that Li Kai had experienced life and death several times during this time.

"Can you guess where Ming Shuhui is now?" Li Kai looked at Wanshulou expectantly, while Xie Yanran next to him had even more anticipation in his eyes.

"I really can't guess this......" Wan Shulou was embarrassed by the two of them, and lowered his head, "But someone may be able to help us think about it." ”

"Oh, who is this person?" Xie Yanran asked urgently, as if she was grasping a life-saving straw in the rapids.

"I don't know what this person's real name is, but everyone calls him 'Buddha', he is an old man, don't look at his age, but there are few things in the rivers and lakes that he doesn't know, and he always has some strange ways of doing things. When Wanshulou mentioned this "Buddha", his face couldn't help but show approval.

"This person is so powerful?" Li Kai also admired.

"Well, I just said that I want to wait for someone in the hotel, it is this 'Buddha', and you can see him in a while. Wan Shulou said.

Xie Yanran was born in the "Rite Palace", and it can be said that she already knows everything about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and listening to the "Buddha" in the mouth of Wanshulou, it seems that she is even better than the source of the "Rite Palace", and her face inevitably shows a rather disbelieving expression.

Wan Shulou saw that Xie Yanran didn't believe it, so he smiled slightly and continued to speak.

"Since that day, after Ming Shuhui and I were separated in the Xiwu Altar, I went to the heads of the eight major factions one by one to discuss the idea of investigating the Xiwu Altar tragedy. I first met with the Cao Gang Leader of the Dachuan Gang and told him about the robbery of the Xiwu Altar first, but I didn't expect that the Cao Gang Leader was not in a hurry, he said that the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, and the enemy's strength is very strong, so this matter should be discussed in the long run. Wan Shulou talked about what he experienced during this time.

"As the saying goes, the tree falls and the tree is scattered, I don't mean to belittle the eight major factions, but in this moment of crisis, I can better see whether these people are sincere. Li Kai said.

"That's right, although this Cao gang leader is usually kind and has a very close relationship with everyone on the surface, he didn't expect that at the most dangerous moment in the Xiwu Altar, he shrank back......" Wan Shulou sighed, then took a sip of tea and continued, "When I was angry, I came out of the Dachuan Gang and prepared to go to other gangs to ask for help, but I didn't expect it......"

"What didn't you expect?" Xie Yanran was fascinated by this time, so she asked.

"I didn't expect that as soon as I left the Dachuan Gang realm, all the money on my body was cheated out......" Wan Shulou scratched his head embarrassedly, and then continued, "The person who cheated me out of my money is none other than the 'Buddha' I just said." ”

"Hahaha, this 'Buddha' is really powerful, and he can deceive Senior Brother Wan, who is strong in martial arts, he is really not an ordinary person!" Li Kai said, jokingly giving a thumbs up.

"Then how did he lie to you?" Xie Yanran asked curiously, widening her eyes.

"That day I passed by a park, there were people in the park set up a stall to play games, this game is similar to that kind of chess and card gambling, I saw an old man sitting in the stall, this old man is the 'Buddha', he is uniting several people, together to cheat one of the young man's money, the young man lost four or five in a row, a depressed face. I took a closer look, and their tricks were so clumsy that they could be debunked at once, but the young man didn't know it. Wan Shulou shook his head and said.

"Indeed, nine out of ten bets are lost, gamblers only pay attention to the win or loss of the gambling game, but do not consider whether the person who set up the game cheats!" Li Kai sighed.

So I couldn't bear to be deceived by the young man, so I stepped forward to stop them, trying to debunk their tricks. Unexpectedly, the 'Buddha' denied it, saying that unless he was caught on the spot, he would be framing a good person. Wan Shulou couldn't help but smile when he said this.

"Some people just don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin, so you play this game with him and then dismantle him on the spot. Xie Yanran pouted.

"That's what I thought at the time, and I did. Wan Shulou continued, "But I didn't expect that Jiang was still old and spicy, when I was on the side before, I saw those people secretly passing the cards in their hands, but when I came to play by myself, those people were very well-behaved, or I was clumsy, I couldn't see the slightest flaw, and I didn't play a few games, and all the money on my body was lost into their pockets." ”

"You can't even see this cheating method?" asked Li Kai in surprise.

"Indeed, the technique is very hidden, and the 'Wind and Thunder Heart Method' I practiced could have made my ears and eyes clear, but it was useless at that time. Wan Shulou sighed, and then said, "Later, the 'Buddha' told me that the young man who lost money at that time was also with him, and he specially set up a trap to lure me into the bait. ”

Wan Shulou shrugged helplessly, Li Kai and Xie Yanran also laughed dumbly, they didn't expect this "Buddha" deception to be so clever, no wonder Wan Shulou would plant a heel in his hands.

"I knew I had been deceived, but I couldn't find any evidence of cheating, so I was willing to gamble. At that time, I really realized that I had no money on my body, and it was difficult to move an inch in the rivers and lakes, and just as I was thinking about where to borrow some money for the journey, the 'Buddha' found me again. Wan Shulou continued, "'Buddha' is ** Lake, seeing that I seem to have some skills and some kung fu, he wants to pull me into the gang, I hated him at the time It was too late, let alone join his gang......"

"Hahaha, then why are you joining the gang again now?" Xie Yanran said with a slight mockery in covering her mouth.

"I shouldn't be considered a gang now, I never do anything to deceive people, and the relationship with the 'Buddha' is just a friend......" Wan Shulou was even more embarrassed, his face turned slightly red and continued, "At that time, the 'Buddha' was pestering me and offering money to tempt me, but I sternly refused. At this moment, a group of people came to surround the two of us, it turned out that the 'Buddha' had just cheated a person out of money, and the man called a lot of helpers, looking for the 'Buddha' everywhere, and happened to meet here, so he was going to trouble him. ”

"This old man is an old liar and deserves to be beaten, but Senior Brother Wan must have helped him, right?" Li Kai was quick-witted, and he expected that Wan Shulou would never sit idly by.

"I'm helping him......" Wan Shulou nodded and said.

"You young man with strong martial arts, you won't let those people be amazed after you make a move!" Li Kai said with a smile.

"I can't use martial arts, and I don't dare to use martial arts. Wan Shulou took another sip of tea and continued, "The rules of the martial arts, you can't show the way of luck in front of ordinary people, this is an iron rule, no one can break it!"

"Otherwise, what would happen?" Li Kai suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Uh...... I don't know the specifics, this kind of thing is generally supervised and supervised by the Martial Arts Association, and no one in the Western Martial Arts Arena has violated it, but it is said that it will be punished, and I don't know what kind of punishment it is. Although Wanshulou doesn't know the consequences, it can be seen that all people who go down to martial arts will not try it easily.

Li Kai frowned and thought about it, nodded silently.

"Then how did you break the siege without using martial arts?" Xie Yanran asked.

"Beaten......" Wan Shulou straightened his chest and stretched his back, he seemed to have palpitations when he recalled the situation of being beaten, "I saw that the 'Buddha' was old, and I definitely couldn't help the beating of this group of people, so I simply volunteered to replace him." The group thought that I was in the same group as the 'Buddha', and they didn't dare to beat an old man, so they took their anger out on me. ”

"You won't be unlucky to resist it......" Li Kai frowned.

"Yes. Wan Shulou nodded and said, "If you resist it, it can be regarded as revealing martial arts." ”

"Wouldn't that be killed?" Xie Yanran exclaimed.

"Half dead...... When this group of people saw that I was young and in good health, they made a heavy hand, and I had to resist hard......" Wan Shulou coughed lightly, eased up, and continued, "'Buddha' saw that I was seriously injured for him, so he took me to a nearby hospital, where I lay in the hospital for three days and three nights, and he has been taking care of me. ”

"This 'Buddha' still has a conscience. Xie Yanran said.

"That's right, after that, the 'Buddha' said, don't look at him to cheat for a living, but he never owes others in his life, the grace of a drop of water will be reciprocated, I saved him once, he will repay me three times. Wan Shulou said with a smile.

"This old liar is quite principled. Li Kai also smiled.

"Where did I think about asking him to reciprocate, I just told him about it again and again, but I didn't expect him to follow me......" Wan Shulou showed a helpless look again, "What I didn't expect was that at first I thought that he wanted to find me as a backer, so he would follow me, but the two of us went all the way south, but I became more and more dependent on the 'Buddha'......"

"Wandering on the rivers and lakes, sometimes it's not about whose fists are harder, but than whose means are higher, and you're a 'little fresh meat' may not be as good as this 'old fritter'. Li Kai has a deep understanding of this point and summed it up seriously.

"That's right, let's just say that when I went to Yisheng Company before, 'Buddha' said that he wanted to go to Yisheng to meet a friend on the way, this friend may be in trouble now, and when I got there, it was really Luo Senior's crisis, although I forced back the one called Baihua Niangniang, but without the means of 'Buddha', we must not escape from the encirclement. Although Wanshulou said it was an understatement, his words were still full of admiration for the "Buddha".

Wan Shulou lowered his head and thought about it, and continued: "'Buddha' also let me understand some of the principles of doing things, I used to be jealous and hateful, if I encountered unfair things, I had to take care of it, but 'Buddha' said that the world has its own law of development, needs good people, but also needs bad people, some people do evil, from another point of view, this 'evil' is not necessarily 'evil', so there are some acts of punishing evil and promoting good, which may be destroying the laws of this world." ”

Xie Yanran seemed to understand whether she understood or not, while Li Kai listened with relish.

"Just like today, when you were on the bus, you didn't want to care about the three robbers, just because you were afraid of breaking this law?" Li Kai asked strangely when he heard this theory for the first time.

"The Buddha told me a story about a place where the common people exterminated the wolf in order to protect the deer, and the deer had no natural predators and lived in the forest without worries. More than ten years later, the deer herd has grown from 4,000 to 40,000, but the deer's body is stupid, there is no former beauty, and the plants have been eaten and trampled to wither due to the rapid reproduction of the deer herd. Due to the lack of adequate food and lack of activity, the deer gradually weakened and eventually died in large numbers. The people had no choice but to invite the wolf in again. The deer scattered and fled again, but regained its vigor. Wan Shulou explained this story very seriously, Li Kai and Xie Yanran listened to it, and they fell into thinking, they always thought that good is good, evil is bad, people just want to leave the good, eliminate the bad, but after listening to these words, they have a deeper understanding of this problem.

"This person is really powerful!" Xie Yanran sighed, she had been impressed by the "Buddha" in Wan Shulou's mouth.

"After that, the 'Buddha' went to a few gangs with me, and the 'Buddha' saw that in addition to the Yihe Gang, the other gangs all had their own thoughts and did not go all out, so he helped me unite with the Mao gang leader of the Yihe Gang, and convened the other seven gangs to hold a meeting in the Yuanheng Gang, one is to discuss the future development of the eight gangs, and the other is to investigate the murderer of the robbery of Xiwutan. ”

"But......" Li Kai said hesitantly, "This 'Buddha' is not a person who has gone down to the martial arts, why did you easily let him participate in the affairs of the Western Martial Altar?"

"At first, I thought he was just a charlatan, but I didn't expect that he was a person from the martial arts. Wan Shulou said.

"He's a person from the martial arts?" Li Kai and Xie Yanran exclaimed at the same time.

"That's right, otherwise he wouldn't know so much about martial arts. But when I asked him several times what sect he was, he always smiled and didn't answer. Wan Shulou said.

"Can you tell the sect from the martial arts?" asked Li Kai.

"He doesn't know martial arts. Wan Shulou replied.

"Don't know martial arts?" Li Kaiqi said.

"Absolutely not, there were a few times when we were in danger, I deliberately shot a little late, and the 'Buddha' was injured because of this, if he knew martial arts, he would definitely be able to resist easily, and I also quietly touched his veins, without the slightest anger. Wan Shulou said with great certainty.

Li Kai was even more curious about this "Buddha".

"Then you are going to the Yuanheng Gang now, are you going to have a meeting with the Eight Great Factions?" Li Kai thought for a while and continued to ask.

"Exactly. Wan Shulou nodded.

"Then there's no need for us to go. Li Kai turned to Xie Yanran and said, "There is a meeting inside the Xiwu Altar, it is inconvenient for us to go to the meeting." ”

Xie Yanran nodded in agreement, but then said again: "Senior Brother Wan said just now that the 'Buddha' may know Ming Shuhui's whereabouts, let's not go to the Yuanheng Gang, but we can finally meet this 'Buddha'." ”

"This is natural, the 'Buddha' should arrive immediately. Wan Shulou said.

"Say Cao Cao Cao is here, Xiao Wan, who else is looking for me?" A person's voice came from outside the door, laughing as he walked into the hotel.

I saw that the person who came was a lean old man, with a childish face, strong spirits, and a simple and decent dress, which did not match the title of "Buddha" at all, and he couldn't see that he was a charlatan.

"'Buddha' is here, sit down. Wan Shulou pulled the "Buddha" and asked him to sit beside him.

Li Kai and Xie Yanran got up to greet the "Buddha", Xie Yanran saw the "Buddha", her eyes suddenly flashed a glimmer of light, she looked at Li Kai beside her again, and then lowered her head, afraid that others would find out about her abnormality.

The "Buddha" was not humble, seeing that the table was already full of food, he picked up the chopsticks after sitting down and feasted on it.

"'Buddha', we are looking for someone, but there is no direction, Senior Brother Wan said that you may have a way, so we are waiting for you to give us an idea, please be sure to help us. Xie Yanran did not hide her anxiety, after she saw the "Buddha", she no longer had the previous suspicions, and her attitude became very respectful. Wan Shulou was very puzzled when he heard Xie Yanran's respectful tone.

"Hmm...... Good ......" "Buddha" was chewing a piece of ribs in his mouth and replied vaguely.

When the "Buddha" had almost eaten, he raised his head and looked at Li Kai and Xie Yanran beside him.

The gaze of "Buddha" stayed on Li Kai for a long time, he kept staring at Li Kai's eyes, and Li Kai was very embarrassed, and he didn't dare to look away.

"What's wrong with your brain lately?" "Buddha" suddenly asked Li Kai.

"I ...... I...... I recently had amnesia...... Li Kai was asked by the "Buddha" in a daze, he actually only looked at his own eyes, and knew that he had recently had a problem, is this person a doctor? But doctors are not so godly.

"Oh......" "Buddha" only nodded slightly, and then disappeared.

The three of them thought that the "Buddha" would talk about Li Kai's amnesia, but after waiting for a long time, they fell into silence, and the "Buddha" picked his teeth on the side.

After a long while, the "Buddha" finished a series of actions after eating before continuing to speak.

"Who are you two children looking for?" the Buddha asked.

"It's Ming Shuhui of Xiwutan, we are separated in H Province, you are well-informed in the rivers and lakes, do you know the whereabouts of this person?" asked Li Kai.

"I do know him, but you're looking in the wrong direction. He's not in this place right now, but it's not too far away. "Buddha" was full of indifference, but this news made Li Kai and Xie Yanran very excited.
