Chapter 288 The level of thinking (please vote for recommendation)
Meng Qi subconsciously took a deep breath, vaguely grasping something, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
The gray-haired old man did not stop at his own topic, but instead smiled and said, "Brother, you seemed a little irritable before?"
He looked at Meng Qi without shifting his gaze at all, as if chatting was something that required concentration.
Only then did Meng Qi really see clearly how old he looked. He was not as old as he had initially thought. This was purely because the gray hair gave him the illusion. In fact, he didn't have many wrinkles on his face. Between young and old, his facial features are ordinary, but because of his concentration, he reveals an unspeakable charm.
"Yes." Meng Qi suppressed his slightly excited mood and suddenly had an idea, chatting like he was with his elders, "Junior got involved in a puddle of muddy water in Maoling."
He quietly changed his identity.
The old man didn't pay attention to this, and listened very attentively, and finally asked: "Brother, when you left yesterday, the knot in your heart had been resolved and your mood was basically calm. Did you become irritable before? Is it because of what happened later?"
He doesn't deliberately hide anything, nor does he reveal anything. He just says what he needs to say.
Meng Qi became more and more sure, pondered for a moment, and said directly in a homely chatting tone: "This junior got clues about the thief last night, and immediately informed his companions, and pursued them non-stop to the home of Dajiang Gang Xiang leader Chu Guan, but it was still too late. In one step, he committed suicide with his sword, shouting before his death that Lord Wenquxing would avenge him."
"We did not delay along the way, and we all hid our presence in advance and changed our clothes so that we would not be recognized by ordinary people. However, we still leaked the news. The junior suspected that either there were very powerful masters following the junior, or last night's One of the companions is a traitor.”
Normally, the opponent does not need to arrange very powerful experts to track the whereabouts of Meng Qi and the others. For example, they can use real street vendors to record which streets Meng Qi and others have gone to, and collect them one by one to determine The target, but Meng Qi had considered this in advance. Everyone changed their clothes and concealed their presence before going out.
But being able to follow Dai Fei and Chen Yasong, who were on high alert even half a step outside the scene, without causing the slightest notice. The strength of the stalkers must be extraordinary.
The old man listened carefully to Meng Qi's story, his expression did not change at all, just like the boundless ocean, even if a huge boulder fell, it would not stir up big waves.
After listening, he did not express an opinion, but smiled and said as if he had penetrated Meng Qi's heart: "Are you inclined? This is not what is really irritating, right?"
Old Meng Qi blushed slightly and scratched his head in embarrassment. His trick of deliberately raising the topic was seen through: "Yes, this junior already has a tendency. What is really irritating and distressing is that Chu Guan shouted before his death that Wenqu Xingjun will avenge him. ”
"Well, do you think it's against the rules?" The old man kept his hands and feet still, concentrating on chatting.
Meng Qi breathed out and nodded slightly: "Yes, we haven't even found out who is behind the scenes. He named himself, letting us know at once that it was Wenqu Xingjun. It felt like he was deliberately framed with death. ”
At that time, he had other suspects. With Chu Guan's shouting, Wenqu Xingjun was at least half exposed. He could no longer completely hide behind the scenes. It made people feel that Chu Guan had a grudge against him!
If Chu Guan committed suicide without being forced, the best policy would be to remain silent. Even if he was going crazy on the verge of death, he could at most shout "Someone will avenge me." There was no need to name Wenqu Xingjun. If he was forced to He could even give up his life by committing suicide, so why bother with it, and not be afraid that the important "factors" that allowed him to choose death would be destroyed by the people behind the scenes?
He didn't feel it at first, but when he went back and thought about it carefully, Meng Qi felt that it was inconsistent.
"Since you noticed something was wrong, why are you still upset?" The old man asked Meng Qi directly with a smile.
Meng Qi smiled mockingly to himself: "It was precisely because I sensed something was wrong that I became irritable. I felt that there was something else I hadn't thought about clearly, but I still couldn't figure it out. It wasn't until I saw the statue of my senior just now that I calmed down and realized it."
"What did you realize?" The old man basically did not express his own opinions, and was always cooperating with Meng Qi.
Meng Qi's expression became solemn: "Since my opponent dared to play chess with Wang Siyuan, he shouldn't have been able to see through it so easily. The truth is actually buried deeper."
"When I think about it carefully, I feel that shouting 'Wenquxingjun' is against the law. As the person who arranged the plan, would he not have thought of it?"
"Just like the trap that the junior stepped into for the first time, there are obvious coincidences and the clues are quite deliberate. However, the junior just feels that such an old-fashioned conspiracy cannot be used to harm people. If it is a trap, there are too many loopholes, too stupid, too Relying on the coincidence, I thought it was real, so I thought about my strength, was sure to escape and wash away the dirty water, went to Guanjin Garden, and disrupted the opponent's layout, but it turned out to be a trap. "
"Not to mention why the arrangement was so perfect, what are the inevitable reasons behind it, and why Wang Siyuan said that no matter how he dealt with it, he would fall into the trap. Just the strategy itself, he thought deeper than me. He knew that I could see it. No, so the arrangement was deliberately cliched and deliberate. It didn’t look like a conspiracy designed by an expert at all. It made me feel too fake and too dependent on coincidence, but it didn’t look like a trap.”
The old man blinked and chuckled: "In other words, it will be the same this time?"
"Yes, this junior can see that shouting 'Wenqu Xingjun' is against the law, and I believe other people can also see it after calming down, so everyone will subconsciously feel that this is a frame-up, in order to cover up the real person behind the scenes, and then completely Ignore 'Wenqu Xingjun'!" Meng Qi's voice was slightly solemn, "Although his name has been exposed, it has truly disappeared in our hearts!"
The old man was very cooperative and said: "It turns out it's still 'Wenquxingjun'."
"Yes." Meng Qi nodded, "This is a trap at the level of thinking. As long as he thinks deeper than us, he can play with us in the blink of an eye."
"But why isn't the person behind the scenes thinking deeper than you are now? Is he framed Wenqu Xingjun to hide himself?" The old man asked with a smile.
Meng Qi smiled confidently and said: "Things like the level of thinking are not as deep as possible, but rely on accurate judgment of the enemy's thinking level, and then go one level deeper than him, otherwise it will only be self-defeating."
"For example, this time, if we are all people who stay at the first level of thinking, 'Wenquxingjun' will only be counterproductive and make us look embarrassed. But I fell into the trap last time, and Jiang Hengchuan is not a person who doesn't think. Dai Fei Chen Yasong and Chen Yasong are more experienced. One is the head catcher Qingshou, and the other is the deputy hall leader Maoling. They will definitely notice the problem and go deep into the second level. If they want to go deeper, the possibility is extremely small. The people behind the scenes will not risk it. The pit is buried on the third floor and it is your own harm.”
"If Wang Siyuan hadn't told me that someone was 'playing' with him, which aroused my attention to the enemy, even with the previous experience, I would never have imagined the current level."
The old man was noncommittal: "What if you really didn't go deep into the second level?"
"If I were the person behind the scenes, what would happen..." An idea suddenly popped up in Meng Qi's heart.
The old man didn't wait for him to organize his words, and smiled and said: "How is it? Now that you have straightened out your thoughts, do you feel calmer?"
Meng Qi was startled, but he really calmed down. He cupped his hands and said, "Yes, thank you, senior, for listening to this kid's chatter."
The old man said no more, smiled and nodded, picked up the carving knife and wood block again, and carved the wooden statue again, with concentration and piety, like a landscape.
When Meng Qi saw this, he understood the meaning and stood up to leave. When he reached the entrance of the alley, he quietly clenched his fist and waved, looking slightly excited.
During this period, whenever you have free time, come over and "refresh your favorability"!
…………
As soon as he returned to the small courtyard where he rented, Meng Qi saw Jiang Hengchuan lingering at the door.
"Brother Jiang, what's important?" Meng Qi came forward.
Jiang Hengchuan's expression was solemn: "Two things. One is what happened yesterday. I thought about it carefully and felt something was wrong. How could any conspirator report his family name? We didn't even have the direction before, but now we know 'Wenqu Xingjun' , Unreasonable, too unreasonable!”
"Well, I also suspect that it was deliberately framed." Meng Qi was stunned and replied with a chuckle.
Seeing that his opinion was recognized, Jiang Hengchuan laughed and said: "Heroes agree! We must inform Dai Qingshou and Hall Master Chen of this matter immediately."
"What about the second thing?" Meng Qi was noncommittal.
Jiang Hengchuan switched to using voice transmission to enter the secret: "I have been following Qiu Fei. Relying on the unity of heaven and man, I was barely noticed. It turned out that he went to a hill beside the Jinshui River for two consecutive days. Today Maybe he will go there tonight, so I want to invite Su Shaoxia to hide there with me in advance to see what he is doing. "
He didn't dare to follow too closely for fear of exposing himself.
Meng Qi pinched the reincarnation talisman hidden in his sleeve, pondered for a moment and said, "Okay!"
Along the Jinshui River, there are singing and dancing, bustling cities, and secluded and deserted places, such as this hill outside the city.
Meng Qi and Jiang Hengchuan arrived early, found a secret hiding place, gathered their breath, erased the traces, and waited for the night to come.
Weeds are everywhere here, and there are footprints and other traces in some places, but except for Meng Qi and Jiang Hengchuan, there is no one there.
I don’t know how long it took, the bright moon hung high, and the light was rippled. A figure sneaked up the hill. It was Qiu Fei, the "wind-chasing stick".
He was holding a red eyebrow-level stick, watching behind him warily and inspecting his surroundings.
Meng Qi and Jiang Hengchuan used their own methods. One relied on the various techniques of spiritual release and the precise control of the Eight-nine Mysterious Techniques, and the other relied on the unity of heaven and man, and narrowly eluded Qiu Fei.
After Qiu Fei finished checking, he suddenly stepped on the spot with great force, making a thumping sound.
"What is he going to do?" Meng Qi was slightly surprised. This move was too weird.
Suddenly, the ground squirmed, the soil bulged, and two figures came out. Their breath was weak, and their faces were pale, as if they were alive and dead.
"The Immanence of Life and Death Sect!" Meng Qi's heart suddenly stirred up. Some of his past questions seemed to have been answered to a certain extent!
Why did the people from the Life and Death Impermanence Sect arrive just on the day they discovered that Lao Zhong had left, neither early nor late?
Why did they hunt for Lao Zhong for so long and only found clues during that period?
Why are the non-core disciples carrying a living dead on location level?
Why is there no more news about the crazy Ningzhou hero?
