Not only did Mo Shoucheng realize that something was wrong with the old Taoist priest, but Duan Wenjun also discovered it.
However, before he spoke, Lou Loulou next to him spoke first, "Master Mo, what did you find?"
Mo Shoucheng glanced at Lou Loulou and then said slowly, "This old Taoist priest's tiger's mouth is covered with calluses. This proves that he is a man of the world, and he should be using a sword-type weapon."
After speaking, he spread his palms, revealing a very slender callus at the tiger's mouth. "If you have a cultivation level nearby, when the true energy in your body is injected into the sword, the posture of holding the sword will change slightly. Although this The changes are very small, and if you practice for a long time, there will still be traces."
"However, Lieutenant Lou is also a master of swordsmanship, but the calluses on his hands are on the palms of his hands, not on the tiger's mouth!" Wang Haiqing on the side was a little puzzled.
When they had dinner and tea together last night, he and Lou Loulou got very close to each other and became a loyal fan of Lou Loulou.
"Colonel Lou is excellent in martial arts, but when it comes to Qi training, he should be in the early stages of first-rate training!" Mo Shoucheng did not answer Wang Haiqing, but turned to look at Lou Lou in the corridor.
"Master Mo is absolutely right!" Louloulou nodded slightly, "We in the army have many trivial matters. Although we polish our martial arts, we pay more attention to the fighting skills on the battlefield. We pay more attention to martial arts moves. But I don’t care much about practicing Qi. I just want to be able to condense Qi and learn some Qinggong. If I need to practice more diligently, it’s really time-consuming.”
Mo Shoucheng nodded slightly, "Being able to condense Qi and activate the Qi in the body are not the same thing. Once a person's cultivation reaches the peak of the first-class, if they are not able to get the opportunity to step into the entry threshold, then their martial arts will be improved. , you must combine the breath in your body with the moves, and then you can apply the breath to the sword."
"So, what you mean is that the old Taoist priest is a first-class master?" Lou Loulou was stunned when he heard this. "But even if he is a first-class master, he is blind and deaf, and he is not very powerful. Right!"
"Who said he was blind and deaf?" At this time, Duan Wenjun couldn't help but speak.
"How do you say this?" Wang Haiqing looked confused. "So many of us have tested that the old Taoist priest is blind. Don't you believe Mr. Duan?"
"I don't understand the martial arts stuff that Old Mo said, but I also found something strange in the old Taoist priest's hands." Duan Wenjun smiled lightly, and then continued, "I don't know if you noticed it just now. "Although the old Taoist priest's hands look shriveled, that's a natural reaction as people get older."
"However, his hands are different from ordinary people. The skin is very smooth and well-maintained. This is definitely not something that a blind man can do."
"Just imagine, everyone, according to the old Taoist priest, there was no little Taoist priest taking care of him before. He lived alone in this Taoist temple."
Seeing everyone's shocked faces, he continued, "The old Taoist priest said that before the little Taoist priest came to the Taoist temple, the little Taoist priest's family often came to take care of him. If you look at it this way, before the little Taoist priest's parents were killed, he was alone Life."
"Just think about it, how does a deaf and blind person live alone? He definitely needs to use his hands to feel the things around him, and bumps and bumps will naturally be inevitable. Naturally, his hands will be extremely easy to be injured, and it will also be easy to leave traces on the skin. It’s better to have a lot of bumps and bruises. Even after it heals, it will easily leave marks.”
"But the hands of the old Taoist priest just now were so well maintained, which proves that he has always cherished his hands. How could a blind man do this?"
Hearing this, everyone suddenly understood. Wang Haiqing was even more angry and indignant: "This old immortal is actually afraid that he has lied to us for so long, and I won't punish him properly."
Seeing that Wang Haiqing was about to go back, Duan Wenjun hurriedly stopped him, "Captain Wang, don't be impulsive. Even if you go to him now and he refuses to admit it, what can you do?"
"Young Master, what do you think we should do? We can't just take advantage of him in vain!" Wang Haiqing said angrily.
When Duan Wenjun heard this, he immediately smiled, "Captain Wang, I want to ask you. Since this road is the secret transportation route of the gold bandits, why did Captain Zhang send people to guard it for so long with no results?"
"Then we probably killed those gold bandits and alerted them, so they should abandon this route!" Wang Haiqing frowned.
"Then let me ask you, if you come down from Shanfeng Mountain, is it easy to bypass the blockade of your Shanfengshan Camp?" Duan Wenjun did not answer him, but asked again.
Wang Haiqing was stunned again, "That must not be easy! Since we took over here, we have locked up several roads at the foot of the mountain, and there are local defenders on the outside to cooperate. It is definitely not easy for them to go up and down the mountain. . That’s why I told the captain that maybe our siege on the mountain had begun to have some effect, so they wanted to move."
Yun Batian, who had been silent on the side, said, "Since the route in and out of the mountain is difficult to find, how can they give up so easily after they have opened up such a route? I think maybe they have got the news a long time ago, and the officers and soldiers will not If we withdraw, they won’t come out.”
"Ah? Mr. Duan, you are saying that the golden bandit has known our plan for a long time." Wang Haiqing was shocked when he heard this.
"We are just guessing!" Duan Wenjun sighed slightly. "Just imagine why those people didn't resist when you captured them in the first place, but then they suddenly got angry when they walked to this corner."
"Then there is only one reason, and that is that when they were just captured, they didn't know where you were going to take them." At this point, his tone suddenly became extremely solemn. "Just think about it, if At first they were caught by you as a gold bandit, and they even revealed their identity to you. Naturally, they just wanted to have a way to survive. But when you didn’t lead them towards the camp, but instead came out towards the mountain, that’s What concept? What would they think?"
"Or, if they saw something, they were very scared. Because they know that once they go somewhere or are discovered by someone, they will have no way to survive. Do you think they should resist?" Duan Wenjun's words became extremely low.
"So you said that the people in this Taoist temple are all members of the Golden Bandit?" Wang Haiqing heard this and immediately understood what Duan Wenjun meant.
"I'm not completely sure yet, but after hearing Mo Daxia's analysis, I feel like I'm 70% sure." Duan Wenjun looked at him, and then continued, "If the people in that Taoist temple are gold bandits, People, then every move that your captain has arranged here has long been seen by the people in Shan Fengshan."
"Since Zhang Cheng just said that the old Taoist priest will go down the mountain tomorrow." He paused, and then continued, "Master Mo, Sister Yun, what we are following is a matter, so I will leave it to you."
Mo Shoucheng and Yun Batian nodded without saying anything more.
After giving instructions to the two of them, Duan Wenjun followed Wang Haiqing back to Zhang Yucheng's camp.
Seeing that the two people behind Duan Wenjun did not follow back, Zhang Yucheng frowned slightly, looked at Wang Haiqing next to him and said, "Haiqing, what's going on? Are there two more people?"
Wang Haiqing was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know how to answer, but Duan Wenjun was the first to speak. "Two of my followers left to work for me and may not be back for a short time."
Having said this, he paused again and continued, "Zhang Lieutenant, I think that now that the golden bandits have received the news, they will definitely not take that path for the time being. So, if we want them to To restart that line and follow the clues, we must create a situation for them where the danger has been eliminated.”
"Create a situation where the danger has been eliminated?" Zhang Yucheng was stunned.
"Captain Zhang, Wenjun has a merciless request. Can you withdraw all the people who are ambushing there?" Duan Wenjun looked at him and asked.
Zhang Yucheng was stunned when he heard this, "What if we can't monitor that area and the gold bandits secretly transport gold sand?"
"Actually, it's very simple. They will be lucky if they want it! We should look wider and look higher." Duan Wenjun looked at him and continued, "I heard that the old Taoist priest will ask for help tomorrow." When you go shopping in the city, you might have something to do. If your person is there all the time, he will definitely be very cautious, so it will be difficult for us to find anything."
"But if we let him know that all the people we are monitoring have evacuated, maybe they will feel that once the crisis is over, they will relax their vigilance, and maybe we can find an opportunity."
Looking at the horrified expressions on everyone's faces, Duan Wenjun continued, "I have asked two of my followers to follow the old Taoist priest. Once they get any useful clues, they will tell us right away..."
