"Hey! I figured it out!"
This punch came suddenly, just as Yuan Cheng had considered before. Li Wei used his ability to punch Yuan Cheng with full force, but his speed gradually slowed down, as if to give Yuan Cheng time to resist or dodge.
A force falling from the sky penetrated the roof and offset Li Wei's ability.
"The unparalleled sword outside the city!"
"The Biluo Knife in the Biluo Pond!"
Just like last time, both of them answered the set code correctly, no difference.
"What? Are you crazy?"
Yuan Cheng said angrily.
"It's a little strange, let me test you!"
"What's weird?"
Li Wei's punching speed gradually slowed down, which showed that he had no killing intention, and Yuan Cheng did not continue to attack.
Countless questions emerged in Li Wei's mind.
The same ability, the same secret language, what ability can be so exquisite?
But Li Wei didn't say anything. Instead, he said the second key point that he just thought of.
"I suddenly thought of a question, an unreasonable question, a question that you should have thought of with your intelligence!"
"what is the problem?"
"What's behind the pawnshops, grocery stores and casinos? What are they doing?"
"Didn't we say this before? Several powerful forces may have made deals to surpass the five holy lands!"
"But it doesn't make sense in common sense. They have immortality pills, artifacts or powerful treasures that ordinary people can use, and pills that can infinitely increase Qi and blood. Even if they train all the disciples in the sect into strong men, it won't be a problem. , with such strength, it still can’t defeat the five holy places?”
"Or the Five Holy Lands, or a stronger force?"
Li Wei shook his head and said: "That's not right. The grocery store owns something so powerful, why should it be sold to others? The pawnshop owns Yuanzhu, and the grocery store only accepts Yuanzhu, why do you still do business with others? Just to extract the time? Will the time be used? Become what they want?"
Yuan Jin shrugged, indicating that you have already told me the reason, why do you still ask me?
Li Wei continued: "If others don't know about the Qi-Blood Pill and the Immortality Pill, will they treat it as a different time?"
Yuan Cheng: "Of course not. If there is no immortality pill, who would trade his lifespan?"
Li Wei continued to shake his head and said: "No, there are still many people who are willing. You and I are both from humble backgrounds. We don't know how many people in Kyushu still have no food, clothing or warmth. Will these people trade time for money? Those who just want to survive. Will people who sell their sons and daughters sell their children in exchange for money? The beggar before was unwilling, maybe because he was not miserable enough. Will those beggars who are miserable enough not be willing? One hundred thousand taels of gold is not enough, one million taels What? I lost more than one million taels of gold at Wanwu Casino before without blinking an eye, so I can’t find a poor person willing to trade time?”
"Perhaps, more people would be willing to change the time by doing this?"
"Hmph, for a shady business that can be done with money, why take the risk of being discovered and affecting the entire world? Not to mention more people? Do you think there are not enough poor people in Kyushu?"
"That doesn't necessarily mean anything. Maybe the forces behind it consider this to be more attractive?"
"Your answer is more like defending the forces behind it than something you would say. What's more, there is a huge problem here. Did you actively conceal it? Or were you forced to ignore it?"
"What huge problem?"
Yuan Cheng said with a smile, seemingly contemptuous, not believing that Li Wei could find any loopholes.
"The pawnshop can draw out hours, and the grocery store sells longevity pills, so why do outsiders need to do it?? Wouldn't it be wonderful for an ordinary disciple to draw unlimited hours after taking the longevity pill?"
Li Wei looked at Yuan Cheng proudly, his hands tightening tighter and tighter, like a lion preparing to pounce on its prey, concentrating on it.
Yuan Cheng's body trembled abnormally again, and returned to normal in a moment. Then he shrugged and said nonchalantly: "Oh! You're right. In principle, they don't need any outsiders. This deal doesn't exist at all, unless you live forever. The elixir is fake, they use this name to lure others to exchange for time, but no one can collect all twelve Yuan Pearls, and even if they get it, there will only be one end!"
When Yuan Cheng said this, there was no pause or hesitation, as if he had just discovered this problem. This made Li Wei's tight hands loosen.
Yuan Cheng continued: "In this way, it can be concluded that the Immortality Pill must be fake. What about the other treasures, those treasures that anyone can use, do the Qi and Blood Pills and other elixirs work?"
Yuan Cheng raised a new question. The Immortality Pill can be recycled indefinitely. There is no profit in this transaction, and no one will use it to benefit outsiders. However, it does not mean that other things are fake. After all, the Qi and Blood Pill only costs one yuan. Beads, there is not much time to exchange a Yuan Bead.
"greedy?"
Li Wei thought of a possibility.
"After you collect twelve yuan beads and exchange them for the Immortality Pill, you can exchange them for unlimited hours, and you can get everything inside. If you exchange them for other things one step in advance, the time and energy required to collect the twelve beads will be greatly increased! "
"It's very possible that the casino relies on other people's greed to earn Yuanzhu!"
The two of them were silent again for a while. After going around in a circle, they still had to prove a problem when they came back. The things in the grocery store still couldn't be completely proven to be true or false. How about replacing a Yuan Pearl and trying the Qi and Blood Pill? ? m.
Li Wei would never do it, but what about the suspected person next to him? Can he try it?
Yuan Cheng goes to try. If he is fake, there will be no problem, but it can't prove anything. After all, it is difficult for outsiders to see the increase in Qi and blood. If he is real, what he did during this period was forced. , then asking him to exchange time wouldn’t push him into a pit of fire?
What's more, will he go?
Li Wei thought about it again and gave up this method and said: "Since the longevity pill is most likely fake, then the things in the grocery store may not be real. In this way, the forces behind it may not be that strong. Not as good as us......"
"You mean to grab it?"
Li Wei didn't like to use his brain. He had planned to force it before, but was stopped by Yuan Cheng. Now that he discovered that there were problems behind these transactions, he didn't want to bother thinking about it.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Cheng did not object this time.
"Come on, let's go give it a try!"
Li Wei and Yuan Cheng put on their veils and jumped out from the corner of the yard. No matter whether anyone was watching or not, it was impossible to notice that they went out from behind.
Hurrying to the front of the grocery store, Yuan Cheng raised his hand and slapped him. This palm seemed to have exhausted all his energy and blood. Li Wei had never seen him use his ability so desperately and without leaving any room.
A huge force fell from the sky, accurately crushing everything within the scope of the grocery store into pieces, extremely flat pieces, including people and things that might be in the house.
The strange thing is that the loud "bang" did not attract anyone's attention. People around the town seemed not to hear any sound.
Yuan Cheng and Li Wei waited outside for a while, and when there was no movement, they walked over, only to find that there was nothing under the ruins. Neither human blood nor any traces of elixirs could be seen.
"This place is empty!"
Li Wei found that there was nothing under the masonry and rubble, not even wooden materials. It seemed that the people inside had already had a premonition and left early.
Li Wei looked at Yuan Cheng, who said slightly tiredly: "Pawn shop!"
The two came to the pawn shop and saw that the door outside the yard was ajar. The people inside must still be there. Yuan Cheng had consumed most of his energy and blood with one palm just now, so this time it was Li Wei who took action.
Li Wei used his ability to punch out, using only 10% of the force, but it also crushed the pawn shop's courtyard wall and the house into one piece, and piled them together, as if they had been run over by huge rocks.
But this time it was different from the grocery store. A few yuan beads were squeezed out from under the debris, and a few very thin pieces of paper floated out.
Seeing the Yuanzhu rolling under his feet, Li Wei picked it up out of curiosity, but it didn't disappear.
Yuan Cheng picked up a few pieces of paper and found that there were a few lines of words written on them, which were the pawn tickets for the time change.
Among them is Lai San's vote.
The pawn man Lai San spent four thousand three hundred and eleven hours in exchange for three yuan beads, and eleven hours were left.
"This this…………"
It turns out that Laizan spent his last hours in exchange for Yuanzhu, and for some reason eleven hours were left for him.
Maybe you pity him?
Li Wei moved some gravel away and found Uncle Qiu who was pressed inside. Blood spurted everywhere. Every stone was dyed red and his appearance was blurred. He could only tell from his clothes that he was a shopkeeper. .
For some reason, Li Wei suddenly felt that he had become fierce. This palm did not consider the people inside at all. It was the same before. It was wrong to steal things, so why kill people?
But he doesn't want to stop.
"Nothing was found in the grocery store and the pawn shop. It seems that it is time for us to leave, lest the forces behind them notice and cause trouble for us!"
Li Wei couldn't find anything useful and wanted to leave as soon as possible, but Yuan Cheng didn't think so.
"There is also a casino, why don't you go check it out? Of these three places, only the casino is guarded. Although it doesn't look like you can do martial arts, it is obviously different from these two places. We haven't even entered those rooms, so that's it. Wouldn’t it be a bit regretful to leave?”
"Okay, let's go and see it!"
Li Wei picked up the seven yuan beads on the ground and came to the casino with Yuan Cheng.
"You two gentlemen, please come inside!"
For some reason, the casino was very busy today with not a single gambler. Seven or eight young men invited Yuan Cheng and Li Wei into room No. 6.
The decoration of the room was exactly the same as before, and the dealer was the same, but Li Wei felt that everything had changed. The boys standing on both sides and the dealer with a slight smile all had a strong sense of crisis, as if he was being targeted. .
Especially the huge mahogany table, the beasts carved on it are more realistic, each one seems to be moving, staring at Li Wei and Yuan Cheng who walk in.
The most terrifying ones were the three mythical beasts, which looked at Li Wei as if they had been devoured and eaten.
This strange feeling became more intense as time passed after entering the room, just like sitting on a painting and suddenly all the objects in the painting came to life.
A group of unimaginable creatures appeared on the paper. Among them, Li Wei had another feeling, an unreal hazy feeling. He was about to merge into the paper, and gradually he couldn't tell who was alive. of dead things.
Li Wei carefully sat on the chair. This time he felt a little guilty. There were various signs that the casino would not be destroyed as easily as grocery stores and pawn shops.
"You two gentlemen, how do you want to bet?"
"Seven yuan beads, the only one in the top six!"
He got up wherever he fell. Although Li Wei didn't know how powerful the gambling tool was, and he wasn't sure whether he could control it, this time he wasn't here to gamble.
He wants to break the game.
Some people died, but not completely...
