The intrigues in the arena are actually also battles of wits and courage.
Who uses the trick, and who falls into the trick; who plays the trick, and who is deceived?
In fact, everything depends on who is smarter and who is more careful.
Careful people may not necessarily be wise, but wise people are mostly careful.
However, there is a kind of wisdom and carefulness that is often associated with stupidity and madness because it is transcendent.
After Tang Muhe, Tang Muxian and Guixue were rescued from the tomb by Tang Zhong, they seemed to have secretly changed in their hearts. And Tang Zhong was also uncharacteristically speaking. He actually became less talkative, and he was also slightly unhappy, as if he was thinking about something.
On the other hand, Tang Muxiang was still the same ghost from the moment he set out with Tang Zhong.
Even so, they would inevitably ask Tang Zhong about what happened in the middle of the night last night, and Tang Zhong naturally answered truthfully.
When the three elders of the Tang Sect heard Tang Zhong say that the demon seemed to be a father-in-law, the three elders of the Tang Sect had already guessed the true identity of the man, and also knew that they were almost trained to become ghosts. Because in the world, only the ghost demon Wu Kui and Eunuch Wu are currently the only ones who know how to practice ghost magic, and this place happens to be not far from the capital, so the geographical location is very suitable.
Ghost Blood had been playing non-stop with Tang Zhong yesterday, but today, he suddenly stopped saying a word, perhaps because Tang Zhong himself talked less.
The five people had already entered the city, but they were all a little hungry, so they decided to find a place to go to the top first, and then go to Prince Xiao's Mansion to join Tang Mugong and others.
It is not the first time for the three elders of the Tang Sect to come to the capital, and they have been here many times, so they are naturally very familiar with the capital. The five of them found a tavern and casually ordered some wine and food. Tang Zhong also ordered some cakes alone and asked Guixue, "Hey! What do you want?"
Because Tang Zhong thought Guixue's name was very strange, so even though the two of them played very well, he didn't know how to call him, so every time he called him, he would just say "hey". Guixue also didn't know how to address Tang Zhong, so he followed his example and called him "Hey" as well. Over time, "Hey" became the most special name for the two of them.
When Guixue heard Tang Zhong ask him, he only moved his lips, but he seemed to feel a little uncomfortable, so he didn't speak.
"Oh! He doesn't like cakes." Although Tang Muxiang just answered a simple question for Guixue, it made Tang Muhe, Tang Muchian and even Tang Zhong feel a little uncomfortable.
This is the first time that Ghost Blood has actually appeared in the arena. If he wasn't from Dushouxia, how would he know his habits? Tang Muhe and Tang Muxian were already old friends. Although they were touched, they didn't show it at all on their faces. After all, Tang Zhong was young, so when Tang Mu answered before Guixue, his face looked slightly embarrassed. If the waiter hadn't already brought the food and wine, I'm afraid the atmosphere at the table would have been awkward for a while.
Guixue was usually a little shy of strangers, so he naturally stopped talking at this moment, and also felt a little strange. Tang Muxiang didn't seem to notice anything, but he already felt that something was wrong.
"Could it be that when they were buried alive, the two junior brothers couldn't hold on anymore and their souls returned to their bodies?" Tang Muxiang seemed to be the first to have doubts. He seemed to have felt that the Tang Muhe and Tang Muxian in front of him were no longer him. They are two junior brothers, but they are really Tang Muhe and Tang Muxian.
Although Tang Muhe and Tang Muxian also noticed that their second brother was a little weird, because they had been controlled for a period of time, they couldn't remember some things at all, and they couldn't react as quickly as Tang Muxiang.
It is said that Tang Muhe and Tang Muxian also have soul-fixing needles locked on their heads. Their souls have been suppressed. Without external help, it is generally impossible to wake up automatically.
But by mistake, they were all buried by Wu Kui. Gui Er and Gui San both believed that the plan failed, so they took the lead in returning their souls. Gui Er and Gui San have returned to their senses, so the real Tang Muhe and Tang Muxian have really woken up. But when the two woke up, they found themselves trapped just like Tang Muxiang. So they also mobilized their true energy at the same time, trying to open their acupuncture points. Unexpectedly, after many efforts, they actually opened the acupuncture points, and even when Tang Zhongzheng was about to save them, they escaped from the tomb on their own. out. Not only did they open their acupuncture points, but they even forced the soul-fixing needles on their heads out of their bodies.
Why can't Tang Muxiang open the acupuncture points, but Tang Muhe and Tang Muxian can open them?
The reason is that although Gui Yi occupies Tang Muxiang's body and can use his internal power, he is not himself after all. There are many techniques that only Tang Muxiang's soul can know, but he cannot know them at all. Tang Muhe and Tang Muxian were not only extremely skilled, but also very knowledgeable. Their acupuncture techniques were unmatched by Gui Yi. Another reason is that whenever Tang Muxiang wants to use his luck to open an acupuncture point, the soul-fixing needle on his head is also being forced out of the body by internal forces. He didn't want his soul to come back to him so quickly, so he gave up on acupuncture on his own. Unless absolutely necessary, he would never recover. For these two reasons, Gui Yi failed to open the acupuncture points in Tang Muxiang's body in the end, but Tang Muhe and Tang Muxian, whose souls returned to their original positions, succeeded.
This seems to vaguely explain that no matter how good other people's things are, they are not your own. No matter how bad your things are, they belong to you after all.
This created a more complicated situation. Tang Muhe and Tang Muxian had recovered their true bodies, but Tang Muxiang's body was still occupied by Gui Yi.
The moment Tang Zhong came out from Tang Muxiang, he had already discovered the difference between the three of them. Because he saw that there was still a person standing behind the second grandfather, but there was no one behind the third grandfather and the fourth grandfather. So now in front of the table, there are actually two people from Dushouxia and three people from Tangmen.
Although Tang Zhong knew the cause and result of the matter best, he didn't know much about the soul-moving method, so he couldn't explain it clearly to Third Grandpa and Fourth Grandpa. Although Tang Muxian and Tang Muhe felt that their second brother was a little weird, they had no memory of what happened in the cave, and they couldn't figure out for a while whether Tang Muxiang was still controlled by Kidaozi.
When Tang Muxian and Tang Muhe opened the acupuncture points, they even forced the soul-fixing needles out of their bodies. Therefore, it was impossible for Gui Er and Gui San's spirits to come back and control them.
Tang Muxiang has probably been able to confirm that Tang Muhe and Tang Muxian have recovered their souls, and his identity has begun to be doubted by them.
Tang Muxiang now has two choices, one is to return to consciousness and give up the mission; the other is to disguise himself and continue to complete his mission. Of course, if he chooses the second option, he only has five and a half days.
The dishes were finally served, and Tang Muxiang was about to eat when suddenly Tang Muhe stood up and asked the waiter, "Brother, where is your latrine?"
"Ah! Sir, the latrine is in the backyard! How about I take you there!" the waiter replied with a smile.
"OK!"
"Me too." When Tang Zhong saw someone had an itchy buttocks, he actually wanted to go with Third Grandpa.
If Tang Zhong went first and Tang Muhe went later, Tang Muxiang might immediately become suspicious. But now it was Tang Muhe who went first, followed by Tang Zhong. Although Tang Muxiang still felt a little strange, he was not concerned about the former situation after all.
Can a fool really have so many thoughts? So is this still a fool? If this is the case, he is simply a wise man, a very different kind of wise man.
After a while, Tang Muhe came back first. After a while, Tang Zhong came back.
"You two have to be together in the latrine. I really can't stand it." Tang Muxiang finally spoke to Tang Muhe, and his tone suddenly became much more cordial, even cordial than that of real brothers.
"Haha! Zhong'er has liked to cling to me since he was a child!" Tang Muhe replied with a smile.
"Hmph! It's all nonsense. It would be nice if he wasn't afraid of you." Tang Muxian also interjected.
． ． ． ． ． ．
At this moment, the three of them seemed to suddenly start chatting. They were chatting very happily, but they forgot about the two little guys.
After drinking, Tang Muhe, Tang Muxian and Tang Zhong all decided to go to Prince Xiao's Mansion. Tang Muxiang was a little unhappy, but he didn't object.
Guixue was absolutely silent at this time. He even just followed Tang Zhong blindly, seeming to be a little afraid of other people.
Finally, the five of them came towards Prince Xiao's Mansion, with Tang Zhong and Guixue still obediently following behind the three elders.
When Tang Zhong saw that the three grandfathers had walked to the front and didn't pay attention to him at all, he suddenly took out a bag of sweet cakes from his arms, handed it to Guixue's hand and said, "Eat it! I left it specially for you. It's very delicious." delicious."
As far back as Ghost Blood can remember, the smell he is most familiar with is the smell of blood. He has no childhood memories of his and has never even eaten any candy.
However, he has always believed in Tang Zhong, because in his opinion, there is only one person in the world who will not hurt him, and that is Tang Zhong.
But when he saw the sweet cake, he still hesitated for a while, and finally took a bite. Then he immediately smiled with joy, but still didn't speak. It seemed that the evil ghost Guixue, who barely spoke, had returned.
"Is it delicious?" Tang Zhong asked again when he saw that he was silent.
Guixue still didn't answer, but nodded with satisfaction.
"What are you doing?" Tang Mu asked loudly when he saw that the two little guys didn't catch up.
"Put it away first and eat slowly later." Tang Zhong agreed, saying "Come on," and then said to Guixue.
Guixue turned out to be very obedient and actually put the sweet cake away, and then still followed Tang Zhong, rushing towards the palace with only a puff of smoke.
As expected, Tang Mugong and others came to Prince Xiao's Mansion and were very happy to see Tang Zhong and Tang Muxiang and others coming back. Prince Xiao, Ren Xiaoyao, Zhang Yu and others were also very happy to see the three elders of the Tang clan coming. But when Ren Xiaoyao saw Tang Muxiang, he frowned slightly, but said nothing.
Tang Zhong and his wife were separated for a whole day, and he was very happy to see each other again. However, when he saw his sworn brother Wu Xing, he actually forgot about his wife again, and only kept reminiscing with Wu Xing.
Fortunately, Wei Yan also knew about the relationship between Tang Zhong and Wu Xing, so she didn't mean to blame him at all.
