Chapter 861 Elder Xu
Zhang Yuanqing suddenly woke up with a start. He tried to move his body, but his muscles were sore and weak, as if he was under general anesthesia.
The Queen and Jingwei next to them were also similar. They were all turning pale and twisting their bodies, making weak resistance. They didn't even look as strong as a three-year-old child.
"There is no need to struggle. If you are hit by the Qinglong Gang's Ruanjin Powder, even the top masters in the world will be able to soften in a cup of tea." Wang Beiwang said calmly.
"Cousin, cousin, what are you doing?" Zhang Yuanqing forced a smile: "I am your cousin Li Erdan."
Wang Beiwang sneered again and again: "If you don't speak secretly, I have got rid of your mental manipulation."
Hypnosis is a modern term. In ancient times, it was called "mind manipulation."
Zhang Yuanqing's heart froze, and he abandoned the unrealistic illusions in his heart. While thinking hard about countermeasures, he stalled for time and asked:
"How did you do it?"
Wang Beiwang patted the hilt of his sword: "The swordsman's mind training and mere mental manipulation can only affect me for a short time. Before going to bed at night, I talked to my parents about you. At that time, I vaguely noticed that something was wrong. I woke up in the middle of my sleep and found out that I had been hit. Your mind is manipulative. You are so brave to live in my house."
"Don't you only know some superficial skills?"
"How could I tell the truth to the enemy!"
Zhang Yuanqing was stunned when he heard this, not because Wang Beiwang lied to him. This is not the key. The key is the four words "Swordsman Training Mind". From the perspective of a spiritual realm walker, this is the passive skill of the swordsman: Iron Will.
Iron Will is a passive that can only be controlled by level 4 swordsmen. Theoretically speaking, Wang Beiwang, who is at the most extraordinary stage, cannot have "Iron Will". However, ancient practitioners are different from spiritual practitioners. The latter is initiated by spiritual enlightenment, while the former relies on himself. A little practice.
In other words, the ancient scouts began to sharpen their will when they were in the extraordinary stage, waiting to transform into the "Iron Will" in the Saint Realm. This is a cyclical and gradual practice.
These things involve Zhang Yuanqing's blind spots.
Looking at the dull-looking enemy, Wang Beiwang snorted coldly:
"My patience is limited. If you don't recruit people from the truth, don't blame me for being rude."
Zhang Yuanqing rolled his eyes with a smile on his face: "This hero, we"
Jiang Jingwei on the side refused to accept: "If you want to kill, just kill, don't talk nonsense."
"Go!" Zhang Yuanqing turned around and spat in her face. This stupid girl must have come to scare me off.
He continued: "Heroes, we were chased by our enemies, so we had no choice but to hide in your mansion. We wanted to take refuge in your precious land. That's all. We have no hostility towards your majesty. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to eat and drink as much as we wanted. There’s no reason not to do it.”
Master Tianzun has always been able to bend and stretch, and he who knows the current affairs is a hero. If his hands and feet had not been tied up and his body was weak, Zhang Yuanqing would have bowed to him on the spot.
The queen nodded repeatedly, "That's right, we are just using it for a few days, and there is absolutely no evil intention. Brother Wang, a son and daughter of the world, is a brave man, so please help us."
She only regretted that she was not a musician and a lover, and could not use her beauty trap.
Wang Beiwang's eyes lingered between the three of them for a moment, then he suddenly kicked over the wooden box, pointed at the three bright yellow casual clothes that slipped out, and sneered:
"Huanglong clothes, these are worn by the emperor. For ordinary people to weave and hide them, let alone ordinary people, is tantamount to rebellion. You three have a lot of background."
With a sharp look, he suddenly pulled out his sword and pierced Zhang Yuanqing's shoulder: "Who are you?"
Zhang Yuanqing groaned in pain, blood instantly stained his shoulders, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He hissed and shouted:
"My hero, have mercy. We are clothing thieves. We were hunted down precisely because we stole the Huanglong clothing."
Wang Beiwang said coldly: "I ask and you answer. Just like in the daytime, I only give you three seconds for each question. If you are slow, I will stab you with a sword. If you are slow, I will stab you with a sword."
Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself, how many seconds are three moments? Is your time unit too casual?
Before he could complain, Wang Beiwang asked:
"With your three-legged cats' skills, how can you sneak into the palace?"
"The clothes were not stolen from the palace."
"where is that!"
"The Zheng family."
"Why does the Zheng family have yellow dragon clothes?"
"The Zheng family wants to rebel."
"Is the Zheng family chasing you?"
"yes."
"Why did you steal the dragon robe?"
"We are working for the Yang family. The Yang family wants to collect evidence of the Zheng family's rebellion."
During the rapid reply process, Zhang Yuanqing controlled his emotional reactions, making every sentence seem extremely real, against Wang Beiwang's insight.
Wang Beiwang, a member of the Yang family, did not continue to ask questions and fell into deep thought. He was shocked by the content of the questions and answers.
As a native of the capital, and having been around the world for a long time, his vision is different from that of ordinary ordinary people in the world.
The Zheng family has evil plans, and the Yang family is stalking the cicada. This involves the highest level of power game and struggle, which is not comparable to a fight in the world.
He believed that "cousin Li Erdan" did not lie, at least he had a sharp mind and did not notice any signs of lying.
Moreover, the three pieces of Huanglong clothing are exquisitely embroidered and made of high-quality fabrics. They must have come from the palace or dignitaries.
These three "thieves" have some abilities, but not much. It is impossible for them to sneak into the palace. In comparison, they are more likely to sneak into the Zheng family.
Zhang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wang Beiwang's expression was gloomy and uncertain, his eyes rolling back and forth in his eye sockets, as if he was caught in a brainstorm.
After more than ten seconds, Wang Beiwang recovered his thoughts, suddenly looked at Jiang Jingwei, and asked:
"Is he telling the truth?"
Jiang Jingwei nodded vigorously: "The truth."
Wang Beiwang's eyes suddenly became sharp and he looked at Zhang Yuanqing: "How dare you lie to me!"
He suddenly pulled out his sword, brought up a splash of blood, and then with a flick of his wrist, he was about to pierce the sharp sword into Zhang Yuanqing's chest. As a member of the Jianghu Gang, and as a swordsman who licks blood from his blade, he has always been decisive in killing.
Seeing that he was about to pierce the heart with his sword, Wang Beiwang suddenly stopped, and half of the sharp sword pierced Zhang Yuanqing's chest, and stopped before piercing the heart.
"It's still useful to keep you." He put the fine iron sword back into its scabbard.
Zhang Yuanqing was relieved, knowing that his act of secretly manipulating the other party's emotions took effect at the critical moment.
After regaining consciousness, Zhang Yuanqing began to secretly influence the other party's emotions. Considering that the other party was a swordsman, he only exerted a superficial influence to make the other party feel that the "three thieves" were valuable and stimulate the emotion of making the best use of things.
The swordsman's emotions are the most difficult to control, so he deliberately throws out a bunch of valuable information to guide the other party to explore, buying time for him to manipulate his emotions.
As for the aftermath of Jingwei being "forced" to betray his teammates, it doesn't matter. A swordsman would not be stupid enough to ask just one person, and neither the Queen nor Jingwei had the means to restrain the Insight Technique, so it was normal for them to be found to be lies.
What Zhang Yuanqing wanted was not to deceive the other party, but to delay time for the emotional manipulation to take effect.
Although he was hit by cartilage powder and his limbs were bound, as a spiritual realm walker, as long as the inventory is not sealed, there will always be a chance to fight back, no, to escape.
Wang Beiwang would not keep staring at them.
As soon as Zhang Yuanqing thought this, he saw Wang Beiwang waving the hilt of his sword towards the side of his face.
"Snapped!"
The hilt of the sword was drawn behind his ear. Zhang Yuanqing rolled his eyes and fainted.
Wang Beiwang followed the same method and knocked Jiang Jingwei and the Queen unconscious, and left the house.
Zhang Yuanqing was awakened by a slight bumping sound. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was in a small carriage, and the whole carriage was shaking with the rattling wheels.
His hands were tied behind his back, and his ankles were also tied. He was lying curled up on his side in the carriage. Lying beside him was Jiang Jingwei, with a plump and soft touch behind him. The queen was lying behind him.
"Hey!" Wang Beiwang's surprised voice came from the front room of the carriage: "Li Erdan, you are the weakest in body, but you wake up the fastest. It's strange."
Zhang Yuanqing sat up with difficulty, took a few breaths, and said with a wry smile: "Cousin, we brothers and sisters traveled all the way to Beijing to seek refuge, but you tied us up. Are you trying to sell me and my sisters to a brothel?"
Wang Beiwang sneered: "The two sisters are pretty, and they might be able to be the top names if sold into a brothel. As for you, you are quite handsome, and you can be given to dignitaries as prostitutes."
The chrysanthemum situation is not good. Zhang Yuanqing clicked his tongue and said:
"Which dignitary's home are you going to? My cousin told me in advance so that I can be mentally prepared."
Wang Beiwang said coldly: "No need to test, you will know when the time comes. Don't play tricks on the road. If you dare to call for help, I will cut out your tongue."
There is nothing to be afraid of when cutting off the tongue. When I see my aunt and Brother Red Chicken, I will be cured with a tube of life source liquid! Zhang Yuanqing pricked up his ears and listened to the movement outside the carriage.
There are no loud shouts or noisy voices. Only by listening carefully can you catch the occasional movement.
This is not a downtown area and the surrounding area is relatively quiet.
Hey, there's no point in shouting for help, let's wait until we pass through the busy city! Zhang Yuanqing sighed helplessly.
Unfortunately, he didn't find a chance until the carriage stopped.
The route Wang Beiwang took was well-researched and avoided all the busy cities.
As the carriage stopped, Zhang Yuanqing, the Queen, and Jiang Jingwei in the carriage opened their eyes wide and listened to what was going on outside.
Zhang Yuanqing whispered:
"Listen to me, Wang Beiwang should take us to meet the senior officials of the Qinglong Gang. I have already thought of a complete and perfect story to deceive the Qinglong Gang. Later I will use props to hypnotize you and make you believe my story. As long as If the top brass of the Qinglong Gang are not saint-level swordsmen, we have hope of survival."
He was unprepared before and was attacked by Wang Beiwang.
Don't make the same mistake again.
After parking the carriage, Wang Beiwang jumped out of the front room of the carriage. A few seconds later, Zhang Yuanqing and the others heard a "dong dong" knock on the door.
After a while, the door opened and Wang Beiwang's voice sounded: "I want to see Elder Xu."
A deep voice came: "Elder Xu is practicing."
Wang Bei looked at him and said, "We need to see you now for the most urgent matter."
The other party was silent for a few seconds and then said: "I'll report it, you come in first. There are boards behind the door, you can lay them yourself."
The footsteps hurried away, and Wang Beiwang came to the door and took out the boards, laying them on the threshold and steps, then led the horse and entered the house with a lot of bumps and bumps.
At this time, Zhang Yuanqing had just finished hypnotizing the Queen and Jingwei, and put the pocket watch back into the inventory with difficulty.
Wang Beiwang was sitting in the front room, guarding the three people, and said:
"Later, you are going to meet Elder Xu of the Qinglong Gang. Whatever he asks you, you will answer. The Qinglong Gang will never kill innocent people indiscriminately, but if you dare to play tricks, Elder Xu's sword is not as soft as mine. .”
Zhang Yuanqing was shocked: "Elder Xu is also a swordsman?"
Wang Beiwang's tone was mixed with reverence: "My swordsmanship was all taught by Elder Xu. He was the one who introduced me to it."
Did I rape my old mother who is in the spirit realm? Zhang Yuanqing's heart sank to the bottom after doing this.
All the preparations just now were in vain.
The elder of the Qinglong Gang must be in the saint realm. He didn't know whether the hypnotized Queen and Jingwei could hide it from the swordsman, but Zhang Yuanqing knew that he would not be able to hide it from the swordsman's insight.
At this time, he began to regret lending the red dance shoes to Brother Red Rooster. Most of the props in the extraordinary realm required the body to operate. It was difficult to function when the body was weak and the hands and feet were tied.
Different from red dancing shoes, you don’t need to pay for these shoes. You can fly over walls and walls when wearing them, and the dodge attribute is also high.
All professions in the two major areas of the spiritual realm basically do not have the ability to fly to the sky and escape from the earth when they are in the extraordinary stage. After all, extraordinary people are just stronger than ordinary people.
A few of them, such as fire walking, night walking, and gliding, are not applicable to now.
Red dancing shoes, a regular prop, are unique.
At this time, a calm and serious voice came from outside: "Look north!"
A middle-aged man wearing a white robe, with his hair tied with a wooden hairpin, and his sleeves fluttering, resembling a Taoist priest, walked from the winding corridor under the leadership of the concierge.
Wang Beiwang immediately jumped out of the carriage and straightened his back: "Elder Xu, I have something to report. I went home yesterday and caught three thieves at home."
Although he was well-dressed, Elder Xu’s eyebrows were extremely sharp and he frowned:
"The urgent need you mentioned is just three thieves?"
Wang Beiwang untied the package on his back, placed it in the front room of the carriage, and said, "Elder Xu, please take a look."
He unwrapped the package in front of Elder Xu, revealing a bright yellow color embroidered with a gold dragon.
Elder Xu's pupils suddenly shrank, turned into a white shadow and swept to the front room. He held a yellow dragon suit tightly in his hand and asked in a stern tone: "Where did it come from?"
"It was the three thieves who carried it with them." Wang Beiwang cast his eyes on the carriage.
Needless to say, Elder Xu grasped Huang Longfu's hand and eagerly opened the curtain.
Elder Xu glanced at the queen, first landing on the queen's face, and said in astonishment:
"Jove? Aren't you in the palace?"
The Queen was stunned for a moment, not understanding the situation.
Who is Zhu Fu? Did Elder Xu admit the wrong person?
The next second, she realized that Wang Geji was an assassin arranged by the Qinglong Gang to enter the palace.
Elder Xu immediately looked at Jiang Jingwei and Zhang Yuanqing. When he saw the latter's faces clearly, his expression changed and he lost his voice:
"Hunjun!?"
