Chapter 123 Inside Story

"Because I don't really want to believe it myself. If I don't really want to believe it, you won't believe it either." Li Wuxiang looked in the direction of the Mountain Lord's Mansion for a while, "When I saw Lou He, it was for I gave him a fur coat and told him that I was using it to send messages."

"Leather jacket?"

"Well, it's a fur coat worn by King Jin Shui's Orion family." Li Wuxiang paused, then nodded again when he saw Zeng Jianqiu's surprise, and then continued, "I had a good chat with him, but he said something - —'Wu Hao can bring you into this courtyard, not that the defense in Coffin City is useless, but that it is not necessary.' I was thinking, how could he think that I was in the courtyard and not outside the courtyard?"

"I also thought that he might have just said it casually. But then, he asked us not to come to rescue him. I ignored him. He seemed to be angry and leaned forward, looking like he was going to grab the leather piece. Yao, it’s like knowing... you understand?”

Pan Muyun and Helianji were confused, but the swordsmen had their own secrets, so they didn't ask and just listened quietly.

Zeng Jianqiu frowned and thought for a while: "Maybe it's just..."

"Well, it went smoothly, or he was thinking of something else at the time. But I also felt something was wrong about the other two points. It was also because of these two points that I didn't want to say anything about it before."

"First point, Senior Brother Lou told us not to save him. In fact, if he really cares about you and us, and he finds that I don't listen at all... why not threaten him with death? At least before I came here, I listened to your talk Remember him, know him This man is decisive and bold in doing things, but when he was in the yard, he only had one word of advice to me. When he didn't listen to the advice, he agreed. I don't think he is like the Senior Brother Lou you call me, because at least you were willing to take risks before. His life came to save him.”

Li Wuxiang sighed: "But you don't think there is anything wrong with this. I think it's because you are eager to save people and you didn't expect this. So if I said it on the mountain, you may not believe it."

"The other one is Wu Hao. If Senior Brother Lou doesn't want Wu Hao to be involved in this matter, there are actually many ways. But one person told another person a lot about Swordsman, and even hinted at him that Swordsman He will come to save himself, but he is not allowed to participate without warning. Brother, don’t you think this is wrong?”

"So tonight, I wanted to give it a try first. The result was like this - Wu Hao showed up, and Wu Shanzhu came over. I guess he didn't happen to pass by by chance and saw it - they knew that we were at Yinshi tonight I want to catch Lou He.”

"It's just that I don't understand why Senior Brother Lou did it. Also, if he really thought there was something wrong with that leather jacket, how did he know?"

When Li Wuxiang said this, a monk from the True Form Sect came out of the Mountain Lord's Mansion. They no longer looked as leisurely and content as they did during the day, but they were in pairs, with solemn expressions and swords on their waists. They were obviously searching for traces of people who might have broken into the coffin city.

At the same time, the wind also started blowing in the coffin city. It was very similar to the breeze that Master Wu Shan had released in the forest before. It flowed slowly but powerfully along the road, as if some kind of ghost was searching with the monks. .

As a result, the pieces of paper among the debris on the roadside were also blown, and slowly slid along the road - as if they were still in the same place but walking in the wind, the few people began to gradually move away from the Mountain Lord's Mansion.

Li Wuxiang looked at the monks and continued: "So I still have a guess. In fact, when you pretended to be a soldier to visit Lou He a few days ago, you were already discovered, but they did not arrest you."

"When I asked Wu Hao to bring me in today, I should have been discovered, but they didn't arrest me. If they want to wait for us to gather together before taking action, then there is another problem - Senior Brother Lou is there again If he becomes a member of the True Form Cult, why not ask him to take advantage of the situation and sneak into the Sword Sect again? What’s the use of arresting a few of us who are not even Golden Core Swordsmen?”

Li Wuxiang turned to Zeng Jianqiu: "So, brother, is Master Wu your father?"

Pan Muyun was stunned: "Junior Brother Li, why are you scolding him!?"

Li Wuxiang smiled bitterly: "It's not a curse, it's a sincere question. Brother, you said you came from a wealthy family in Coffin City. But when you were talking on the hillside just now, you mentioned that most of the wealthy families in Coffin City are from ordinary people. Come on. It would be difficult for a family like this to gain power in a place where monks are in charge."

"But when it came to the town hall, you also said that you had the authority of Chief Ying, saying that once you returned to the clan, Chief Ying might have to curry favor with you. From the mountain lord down, those in power are the Anmin Mansion and the town hall. What kind of wealthy family do you belong to, so that the chief officer of the Guarding Mansion wants to curry favor with you? Moreover, this wealthy family could also ask Lou He to be your teacher for eight years, and in order to arrest one of us, even Wu Shan The Lord will take action himself——"

"That's right." Zeng Jianqiu smiled, then looked in the direction of the Mountain Lord's Mansion with an indifferent expression, "He is my father."

"Then your maiden name is Zeng?"

Zeng Jianqiu sighed: "Yes. But I have never met her. I just don't want to be named Wu Xun. I should have told you about this earlier, but I never thought it was Senior Brother Lou..."

Li Wuxiang nodded and turned to look at Wu Hao. He was standing a little away from the others, looking at Zeng Jianqiu, his lips moving slightly, as if he wanted to speak.

Li Wuxiang looked around again - the piece of rubble they were hiding in was being pushed by the breeze in the city, and slowly drifted to the urban area where residents were located along with other debris on the roadside.

The road was still very lively when we arrived, but then three dull drums sounded in the city, and the ordinary people on the road gradually disappeared, replaced by armed soldiers. They hurriedly strode along the road, disturbing the breeze, and the paper's path became even more unpredictable.

"If we stay here, they won't be able to find out. Let's float slowly, and we will float out of the city after a while. Don't adjust your breath here, the qi here is very chaotic. Then -" Li Wu smiled at Wu Hao Laugh, "Mountain My surname is Wu, and your surname is Wu. When you took me into Lou He's guest house, the guards guarding the door didn't even check what you had. It would be too suspicious if they let you in deliberately. So, Wu Hao. , is the mountain master also your father?”

After hearing this, Zeng Jianqiu suddenly turned his face, and the two looked at each other for a moment before Wu Hao trembled his lips: "You are... the second brother..."

Li Wuxiang patted his forehead, sat cross-legged on the ground and slowly exhaled.

Something is wrong. Everyone can encounter ridiculous things, but if they are strung together closely, something is wrong. It cannot be a coincidence. Li Wuxiang felt that several thoughts were running around in his head, like looming fish under the water's surface, too slippery to catch, but they must indicate something bigger and deeper.

Zeng Jianqiu and Wu Hao were both stunned. After a while, Zeng Jianqiu said: "You... are wrong. Then why are you in the guard house?"

Wu Hao was still in a daze and did not reply to Zeng Jianqiu's words. Instead, he raised his hands and grabbed his hair, slowly sat down on the ground, and murmured to himself: "That's it... that's it..."

Zeng Jianqiu said anxiously: "How is it?!"

"...No wonder I have such qualifications. My father...he...I thought he was..."

"Lou He hated your father for imprisoning his wife in a coffin mountain, so he abducted you. Your father hated Lou He for abducting you, so he married Lou He's daughter and gave birth to a son for himself. Lou He is disgusting here, and he is disgusting himself - no offense, but I guess that's what happened." Li Wuxiang frowned and waved his hand, "I really admire you people, but that's not the point. Son - Brother, you said before that you were looking for Guang Chanzi. After you found it, you told me that there were several people who were also looking for Guangchanzi... Senior Brother Pan, Senior Brother Helian and Senior Sister Lu told me that they also knew how to look for Guang Chanzi. Not everyone in the sect is looking for Guang Chanzi, but the swordsmen near Deyang, and Lou He is also near Deyang... Who told you to look for Guang Chanzi in the first place? "

Pan Muyun finally spoke at this time: "Yes. Senior Brother Lou said that he was passing on the Mei Palm Sword."

Li Wuxiang closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them again: "Is Guangchanzi a technique passed down by Ranshan Ancestor?"

"Ranshan?" Pan Muyun was stunned, "No, Senior Brother Lou said that Guangchanzi escaped from the sect and was obtained by people from Ranshan."

Li Wuxiang felt that in his head, the large shadow below the water surface suddenly surfaced, and he seemed to see it clearly.

Everything he had thought was unreasonable before became clear——

There is a Ranshan Dharma sticker on the golden wrapper, which was passed down from the ancestors of Ranshan. But if Guangchanzi is also inherited from the ancestors of Ranshan, then all the sect leaders of the past generations can be regarded as the best among people. Why is it that only Zhao Puppet thought of the method of refining Taiyi?

If the former sect master knew about it but didn't want to do it because of his character, he should have hidden this evil book of Guang Chanzi long ago.

Therefore, Guangchanzi should indeed not be from Ranshan. According to Lou He, he flowed out of Jianzong!

The ghost letter was leaked out, and it should have been given to the people in Ranshan and Zhao Puppet on purpose! It's a pity that he is now trampled under Li Wuxiang's feet, and he can't ask any more questions.

But...if someone from the Sword Sect, such as Lou He, handed Guangchanzi to Zhao Puppet, it should be for him to use Jin Tangzi and Guangchanzi to refine himself into what Li Wuxiang is now. .

Why did Zhao Puppet do this?

To... ask him to risk his life first?

Li Wuxiang slowly exhaled - Lou He knew how to make his body look like what he is now, so he gave it to Zhao Puppet. After more than ten years, he felt that Zhao Puppet had almost made progress, so Lou He used the name of Mei Zhangjian to summon the swordsman near Deyang to find Guang Chanzi.

If you find Guangchanzi, you have found Zhao Puppet, you have found Zhao Puppet... If Zhao Qi hadn't mistakenly invited him to the throne of Stove Lord when he was in Jinshui, then no matter Zeng Jianqiu, Pan Muyun, He Lianji, Lu Renjia, no one can deal with him!

Once Zhao Puppet dies, Jin Juanzi and Guangchanzi will be brought back to the sect by the swordsman... Lou He will know whether he has succeeded in refining it!

Everything Zhao Puppet did was what Lou He asked him to do?

Then Lou He...this time he wants not only Zeng Jianqiu, but also himself! That's why he was suddenly caught by the Zhenxing Cult at this time... after learning about his existence from Zeng Jianqiu's mouth?

So they didn't make a move when Zeng Jianqiu entered the Mountain Lord's Mansion alone, and they didn't make a move when Zeng Jianqiu entered the Mountain Lord's Mansion alone... What they wanted was two people! ?

Wait... If you think about it further, did Lou He really betray the True Form Religion, or did he betray the True Form Religion for Guang Chanzi?

Li Wuxiang took a breath and raised his eyes to look at Coffin Mountain - Zeng Jianqiu said before that so many people in Coffin Mountain who "hide their spirits and nourish their energy" are actually sucking their vitality and popularity from the formation. Vitality and popularity are the power of incense and willpower!

Waixie told himself that when he broke through the realm, he could use the True Shape Diagram of the Five Mountains of True Shape Tao to suppress the inner demons... True Shape Taoism was very suitable for cultivating the power of will!

Then Lou He...

Then I...may have been involved since I opened my eyes for the first time in this world!

There are still some things that don't make sense. But if these speculations are true, or even if only half of them are true, then Lou He should want me this time, and Zeng Jianqiu is just a byproduct. It is troublesome to kill Li Wuxiang, who has become a swordsman, outside the parish, but in the coffin city, this matter may not be known by the Sword Sect, and it will become these people who save Lou Jianxia, ​​and finally be caught by the True Form Sect!

Then, Li Wuxiang also feels that this Ranshan illusion hidden in the paper may not be safe-Xu Daosheng said that the Ranshan illusion was mentioned by Lou He, will he also know the wonderful use of this illusion?

Li Wuxiang turned his head suddenly: "Brother Zeng, Senior Brother Pan, Senior Brother Helian, we have to report this matter to the sect. We don't know whether Senior Brother Lou was captured this time and then surrendered to the True Form Sect, or whether he was wrong from the beginning. Also, what kind of person is Mei Zhangjian?"

Pan Muyun glanced at Zeng Jianqiu, then looked at Li Wuxiang, frowning: "Mei Zhangjian? Do you think this matter has something to do with Mei Zhangjian?"

"I didn't say that, I just asked first."

Zeng Jianqiu closed his eyes and was silent for a while: "I don't think so. Mei Zhangjian almost became the sect leader. In the sect, after Sect Leader Jiang, Mei Zhangjian is the most important person. Swords are the most respected. But after Jiang Jiaozhu took the throne, Mei Zhangjian no longer asked about the affairs of the sect, and even stopped passing on the law. It was because he met Lou He that he...”

He was stunned: “Met Lou He...”

“Almost became the sect leader... Then I ask a question, just a simple question.” Li Wuxiang said, “Is it possible that Mei Zhangjian didn’t become the sect leader at the beginning, so he had resentment in his heart. He met Lou He and knew that Lou He was not a true swordsman, but a spy of the True Form Sect. He became resentful because of resentment, so...”

He had just entered the Sword Sect not long ago. If it weren’t for the current situation, he would never say these words.

But the reactions of Zeng Jianqiu, Pan Muyun, and Helian Ji were beyond his expectations. They looked at each other, Pan Muyun actually nodded and said: "Okay, this matter cannot be passed on to Mei Zhangjian, it should be passed directly to the leader." Then he looked at Zeng Jianqiu again and sighed: "Old Zeng, now I know what you mean when you said that he is extremely talented and will not be comparable to us in the future. He may become the leader in the future." Li Wuxiang raised his hand: "Don't let the leader hear this. So what do you do now? How do you plan to pass the message?" He raised his face to Wu Hao again: "What about him, what should we do?"
