Relying on a few grains of dust wiped from the seat where the old man with the goatee had worked at the trade fair, Shu Guan easily divined the address of the old man with the goatee.
During this time, there was no sign of the secret being concealed.
Then Shu Guan sat outside the door of the old man with the goatee and watched the old man with the goatee walk into his home.
But he didn't get up and follow.
Is this a fishing operation?
Regarding this question, if you throw away some luck, the answer is actually very obvious.
Shu Guan already had the answer on the Beiming.
This is definitely a fishing operation, and the target is himself.
The old man with the goatee's behavior of taking out the fragments of a palm sutra twice in a row was really abnormal.
Shu Guan was almost certain that the fragment of the One Palm Sutra that the old man with the goatee took out yesterday was definitely not his original possession.
According to what the old man with a goatee said at the last trade meeting, the four-page fragment of the One Palm Sutra that was originally owned by the old man with a goatee and later bought by Shu Guan was obtained from an old friend of his who died.
Shu Guan believes in this.
But where did the fragment of the Palm Sutra that the old man with the goatee took out the second time come from?
Could it be that in just one month, he got another fragment of the Yi Zhang Sutra by chance?
This possibility is also possible, but the possibility is so small that it can be ignored.
If the fragments of the One Palm Sutra were so easy to obtain, they would no longer be mysterious.
Therefore, it is most likely that the fragment of the Palm Book brought out at this trade fair was given to him by someone else.
But why did that "other" give the old man with the goatee a piece of scripture and let him sell it at the fair?
...No, not for sale!
At that time, Yu Shiqi had already offered a good price, but the old man with the goatee's final reaction showed that he did not want to sell at all.
Then his purpose is obvious. He just wants others to know that he has a fragment of the Palm Sutra in his hand.
And what kind of people are most attractive to the fragments of Yi Zhang Jing?
Naturally, he is someone who knows how to read the palm of his hand.
Even people like Yu Shiqi and Mr. No. 7 can see the extraordinary value of the fragments of the Yi Zhang Sutra, but they still cannot truly understand the value of the Yi Palm Sutra, otherwise their asking price may be several times higher.
Only those who have practiced the Yi Palm Sutra will understand the Yi Palm Sutra.
The old man with the goatee, or the person behind him who was instigating him, wanted to really attract the person who bought the fragment of his four-page one-palm book last time.
It seems that his actions at the last trade fair attracted the attention of others. The most important thing is that at the last trade fair, there was another person who also understood the value of a fragment of the Palm Book.
Is it the masked man who once made a bid but then quickly gave up?
Shu Guan cannot be sure.
Because a person who understands the value of a fragment of the Palm Sutra should not give up so easily.
Of course, he may have some special reasons and had to give up temporarily... but he was unwilling to do so, so this time, he used other remaining chapters of the One Palm Book to try to replace the four pages of One Palm that he bought last time. Those who read the fragments are the ones who brought it out themselves.
As for the purpose of eliciting it, it was naturally to get the four pages of the One Palm Sutra fragment.
No, it may also include the remaining fragments of a Palm Sutra originally owned by the other party.
Again, only those who have practiced the Yi Zhang Sutra can best understand the value of the fragments of the Yi Palm Sutra.
The last time I took out a heavenly material and earthly treasure, I had to exchange it for the One Palm Sutra. In the eyes of others, it may not be a big deal, but in the eyes of someone who understands the fragments of the One Palm Sutra, it is tantamount to clearly telling him that he knows. What it is.
So the person present at the time who also understood the value of the One Palm Sutra was prepared to use the One Palm Sutra he possessed to draw him out this time.
The above is the inference made about Shuguan.
Of course, he couldn't be sure whether his inference was correct or not.
Shu Guan is a very self-aware person.
He knew that his ability in this area was considered excellent, but it was definitely not outstanding.
In fact, I am like this in many aspects. I am much better than mediocre, but compared with those true geniuses, I am far behind.
So within the hour just now, Shu Guan not only changed his clothes, but also went to find a person who was truly outstanding in the ability of reasoning.
This person is naturally Ouyang Hai.
Ouyang Hai told Shu Guan where his home was last time.
And when Shu Guan used the wall penetration technique to walk into Ouyang Hai's home, which only had one bedroom and one living room, Ouyang Hai, who was sleeping soundly and smelling of alcohol, immediately sat up from the bed.
This guy's alertness is still very high, but he doesn't know whether he is really drunk or fake.
"Do you know that it is very immoral for you to suddenly break into other people's homes in the middle of the night without saying hello?"
Ouyang Hai, who was full of anger, complained to Shu Guan.
"Actually, it's already morning. I have something to do with you."
Shu Guan accompanied the smiling face and humbly asked Ouyang Hai about what happened and his own inference.
Of course, he did not specifically mention the name of the Yi Zhang Sutra.
After Ouyang Hai listened impatiently, he only said one sentence.
"You still have to think about this kind of thing with your brain? It's obvious that someone wants to invite you to the urn."
After saying that, Ouyang Hai fell back and continued to sleep.
Shu Guan, who had received Ouyang Hai's endorsement, came to the house of the old man Shan Hu.
The fact that the old man with the goatee didn't return home until now seemed to prove Shu Guan's inference.
The old man walked home so slowly, as if he was waiting for someone to trouble him.
As the second best hunter in Taoyuan Village, Shu Guan often did this kind of thing, dragging a bundle of corn cobs around in the mountains to lure wild boars to the bait.
This is undoubtedly a trap.
But Shu Guan was standing at the entrance of the trap, lingering in nostalgia.
Don't dare to step in, but don't want to leave.
Because the bait in the trap was really attractive to him.
It's a fragment of a palm scripture, and according to Yu Shiqi's appraisal, it is a complete Taoist cultivation method, except that the general outline is missing.
The problem is that Shu Guan doesn't need a general outline at all, so as long as he can get the fragment of the Yi Zhang Sutra, he can immediately learn one more Yi Zhang Sutra Taoism.
And Shu Guan, who already has two Taoist techniques of One Palm Sutra, knows very well how magical the Taoist techniques in One Palm Sutra are.
The person who threw this bait out to set up this trap knew very well how huge the temptation this bait was for those who had practiced Yi Zhang Sutra.
What Shu Guan is thinking about now is whether he should step into the trap that he knows is a trap.
Because he really wanted to get the fragment of the One Palm Sutra.
He had no idea how powerful the trap was, or how strong the net was to trap the fish.
There was no information to make a judgment on, because he didn't even know who had set the trap.
But one thing is certain, the person who set this trap is very confident, otherwise how could he use the entire fragment of the One Palm Sutra as bait.
It shows that he dared to act so boldly only when he firmly believed that as long as the person he wanted to lure showed up, he would never be able to escape the trap he set.
So where is the limit of that person's self-confidence?
Shu Guan smoked a cigarette, frowning and thinking about this crucial issue.
Just like their hunters dig traps, to deal with a two to three hundred kilogram wild boar, digging a two to three meter deep trap is enough, but if a big guy of four to five hundred kilograms comes, then maybe they can escape from the trap. escape.
So how deep has the other party dug this trap?
Shu Guan was sitting on a bench at the bus stop. The eastern sky was getting brighter and brighter. The doors of the surrounding houses were opening one after another, and there were more and more pedestrians on the street.
The city began to become noisy, but there was a kind of calmness in the noise.
The surroundings were very calm and normal, especially the small building where the old goat man walked in. It was extremely quiet.
Apart from sensing the spiritual energy fluctuations of the old man with the goatee, no other practitioners could be detected hiding inside.
The beam observer could not detect any trace of a trap.
But just because you can't notice it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Shu Guan stretched out his palm and looked at it carefully for a while.
There is no danger in using one palm meridian to calculate.
But Shu Guan now also knows that the One Palm Sutra is not efficacious in everything. Especially if the person who set the trap also practices the One Palm Sutra, there may be means to interfere with Shu Guan's calculations using the One Palm Sutra.
Shu Guan lit another cigarette.
Now he has a hard time making a choice.
Not long after he lit his second cigarette, car horns sounded on the street, and a yellow double-decker bus drove over and stopped outside the bus station.
Passengers waiting for the bus crowded towards the bus.
Shu Guan pressed out his half-smoked cigarette on the ground and followed the last one on the bus.
Before he could determine how deep the trap was and how solid the net was, Shu Guan would choose to wait and see.
He is a very good hunter and has a lot of patience.
…
Next to the small building where the old man with the goatee walked in, there was another small building that was almost the same.
In a room on the third floor of the small building, there was a young man with noble temperament, handsome and sunny appearance, and skin as smooth and delicate as jade.
The noble young man stood in front of the window and looked out the window.
Thick curtains were drawn on the windows, but they did not seem to block the young man's sight.
The young man watched the old man with a goatee walk from downstairs into the small building next to him, and then his eyes slowly swept across the street. He looked at every pedestrian on the street and the people sitting on the bus opposite. The passengers waiting for the early train at the station looked at it very carefully.
He saw a middle-aged fat man with steamed buns and fried dough sticks in his hand hurriedly ran under the awning of the bus stop. He saw a female student in a green jacket and black skirt holding a textbook and reciting silently. He saw a girl in a windbreaker and a top hat with a beautiful face. Ordinary young people are lighting up a cigarette.
The noble prince glanced at the young man one more time and frowned.
It's not that there is anything special about this young man, but because he hates people who smoke the most, especially people who smoke in public places.
The noble prince was very angry, but he still resisted the urge to use a magic trick to make the smoking young man die quietly.
He is a person who gets angry easily, but at the same time he has a strong ability to control his emotions and never lets others know that he is angry.
The noble prince moved his eyes away and looked at the other pedestrians who had just walked onto the street.
After looking at it for about five minutes, he looked away.
"The fish didn't seem to take the bait."
A slightly disappointed voice sounded from beside him.
In this room, besides this noble gentleman with an extraordinary temperament, there were three other people.
One was the old man standing next to the noble young master, who had just sighed in disappointment.
The old man was tall and tall, with a lion's nose and a wide mouth, long hair shawl, and a faint purple glow in his eyes.
The old man stood there upright, and his shoulders were extremely broad, giving people an unshakable sense of oppression like a mountain.
As for the other two people, one was a handsome middle-aged man wearing a purple uniform with a faint smile on his face.
The other was also an old man, with gray beard and hair, a thin figure, and an expression as cold as ice and snow on his face.
Although the momentum of these two people is not as strong as that of the burly old man, they are still extremely intimidating.
"Not urgent."
After hearing the words of the burly old man, the noble master said this calmly.
The layout of my game is actually relatively simple. Anyone who is a little more cautious will be suspicious.
But the bait he put was irresistible. If the other party was really as he judged, he had already practiced the Yi Palm Sutra.
Then that person will not be able to resist the temptation of the fragments of the Book of One Palm.
Isn't it the same for me? After so long, the image of the four pages and one palm sutra still lingers in my mind.
Only those who have practiced Yi Zhang Sutra will understand how hard it is to let go.
This has even affected his Taoist mentality a little bit.
Especially the four-page fragment of the One-Palm Sutra, which he had already regarded as his own, but unexpectedly, someone else had taken advantage of it, and it was almost as if he had given it up.
If I hadn't been so cautious that day and bid directly with that person, the other party would never have been able to compete with me.
Ever since you were a kid, have you ever gotten what you wanted?
This matter has been a thorn in your heart these days.
So he set up this game, not only to get back the fragment of the Palm Sutra, but also to remove the thorn in his heart.
Especially at this moment when he is about to enter the land of immortals on land, he cannot leave this thorn in his heart.
For this reason, he even used a secret book of palm scriptures that he cherished extremely as bait.
The noble master is not worried about whether that person will take the bait.
Let's see how long he can endure it!
And maybe that person didn't go to the fair last night. In that case, your master would let the old man with the goatee continue to go fishing at the fair.
As long as that person sees the bait, your master is not afraid that the person will not take the bait.
The noble young master turned around, smiled and said to the burly old man:
"I'm sorry to bother you, Fourth Uncle, about this matter. I have to ask Fourth Uncle to keep guard on this bait until that person appears."
The burly old man nodded and said:
"Yu'er, don't worry. This matter is related to your fate and our family's thousand-year plan. My second uncle will not neglect it."
"Thank you, Uncle Fourth."
Then the noble master turned around and looked at the other two people. The smile on his face remained unchanged, but his tone became more dignified.
"You two, please don't neglect us."
The handsome middle-aged man and the cold and stern old man all bowed and said respectfully:
"I will obey Mr. Yu's orders!"
The noble prince smiled again and then walked out the door.
A land god and two Nascent Souls, even if they catch a dragon, they can't even think about dragging the hook.
