"Which one? Did you encounter many interesting things before coming here?" Mr. Wu was also surprised.
"Not a lot." Chen Yuan said.
"tell me the story."
"A few days ago, when I was peeing, I drew a circle around the bugs under my feet. The bugs couldn't get out of the circle and retreated immediately after touching them."
"It's not this." Wu Shen closed his eyes and shook his head.
"On the way here, a villager asked for help. He said that a black bear from the mountain had come down to Zhuangzi, and he was afraid that it would hurt people. When I got closer, I saw it was a big dog. The dog was really huge. The most ridiculous thing was that it was white. It must have been killed. Abandoned by the wealthy family in the city behind the mountain."
"That's not the case." Wu Shen still closed his eyes and shook his head, but frowned.
"Then today, just now! I was on the locust tree beside the backyard wall before entering the door..."
"It's not this!" Before Chen Yuan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Mr. Wu who was already a little impatient: "These things that older children don't care about can actually attract the hero Sanxian Chen. Fun?"
"Everyone has his or her own ambitions and interests. My eyes are full of interesting things every day, no matter how big or small. I heard that this can lead to longevity, can Dr. Wu say this?" Chen Yuan asked with a smile.
"You will definitely live a long life." Mr. Wu also smiled and stroked his beard. "After today, your age will no longer increase. You will stay forever and grow very tall." Chen Yuan pretended to be relaxed at this moment. He has seen too much. He must die, so it would be better to look like Be relaxed and calm, and look like a hero. Or maybe you can scare the other party, making others think that he has a back-up plan, so he doesn't dare to act rashly, procrastinates and delays, hoping for a miracle. Therefore, he didn't even bother to raise his eyelids: "I'm here to give you some advice. Why did you perform Qing Kung all day and night?"
"Oh! That one you're talking about!" Chen Yuan pursed his lips: "It's really eye-catching and unbelievable, but it's not interesting after all if someone dies."
"Isn't it an interesting way to die?" Wu Shen smiled with narrowed eyes. ,
"The idea is quite exquisite and the execution is very rigorous. It's really amazing." Chen Yuan said lightly, but did not look at Wu Shen, as if he was deep in thought.
Wu Shen finally stopped laughing and his expression changed. This was the first time he showed a solemn look today: "You actually know?"
"So what if I know, it's still on your chopping board." Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"At least you don't have to be a fool." Wu Shen said, "How did you know?"
"What a coincidence, what a coincidence." Chen Yuan murmured.
"oh?"
"Everything seems to be a coincidence, but it's just because it's such a coincidence. It's not as coincidental as a human arrangement. It has to be deliberately arranged." Chen Yuan said.
"Is there any coincidence that went too far?" Wu Shen asked.
"I felt something was wrong when I saw Bai Wei die. He died in a dung bucket. The red paint dung bucket was exactly the same as the swill bucket in Mingxiang Tower." Chen Yuan said.
"But he didn't expect that it was a excrement bucket that had been dropped." Wu Shen said.
"Why do you want the dung bucket to be exactly the same as the slop bucket?" Chen Yuan seemed to be asking.
"Because someone wanted him to think that the contents in the bucket were exactly the same." Wu Shen said. "But what's the use of making people mistakenly think that what's in the bucket is swill?" Wu Shen then seemed to be asking someone.
"Of course I hope to trick someone, just like using wine instead of water when playing among friends, tricking those who are thirsty, and they drink it in one gulp before they can smell it." Chen Yuan replied.
"But who knows how to eat swill? You know, even a beggar will get two leftover steamed buns." Wu Shen asked again.
"Unless this person is worse than a beggar and can't even afford steamed buns." Chen Yuan replied.
"How could there be such a person?" Wu Shen asked.
"Yeah, it's impossible. So we have to make one." Chen Yuan said.
"Oh? How to make this?" Wu Shen asked.
"First of all, he has to volunteer and take the initiative to eat." Chen Yuan said.
"That's natural. If you put a sword on his neck and teach him to eat, what's the point?" Wu Shen nodded and laughed again: "The knife is already placed on his neck, so why should he use other methods? Death means catching the mouse, but it means putting poison on its mouth."
"Yes, rats always eat poison themselves." Chen Yuan continued: "How can a person take the initiative to eat swill?" Then he asked and answered himself: "Unless he is extremely hungry and can no longer find any Eat. If there is a bucket of swill in front of him at this time, his survival instinct will make him eat it."
"Yes, no one wants to die immediately if they can live for a while longer." Wu Shen stroked his beard and nodded: "It's just other people's leftovers. People who are about to starve to death don't care about dirty things, and they don't have any thoughts in their hearts. What unnecessary thoughts." After a pause, he added: "So today's young masters and eldest ladies will not eat anything that falls out of the plate on their own dining table, will not eat anything that is handed to them by others, and will even say something between two people while eating. I can’t even eat similar words, probably because I’m not hungry.”
"On the contrary, if they were hungry for three or five days like Bai Wei, they would pick up the steamed buns and eat them if they fell on the ground outside the latrine. At most, they would pat and blow on them." Chen Yuan agreed very much.
"Of course the problem of him being able to eat has been solved, but how can you make him so hungry? Firstly, he has a family and his family fortune is not small. Secondly, he has money, and a lot of money. Thirdly, there are always acquaintances or people in the town. People who are good friends with the Bai family will not watch Bai Wei starve to death." Wu Shen asked again, as if he was troubled.
"So we have to solve these troubles one by one. If he has a family, then let him be homeless. That's why we have the arrangement of the Bai family being exterminated. Rich? He will not have it. As long as he is good at gambling, this is all. No need to arrange. Acquaintance? Will a gambler have real friends? Will he have friends based on his personality? The family that has good relations with his elders can take care of him for the sake of the old man, so that these people will never want to take care of him again. . The person who lent him money and the person who asked him to use his wife to pay off the debt were all arranged by you. No gambler would refuse the money and women that came to his door for free, especially this gambler who was also a hunter. There are always disputes among colleagues. Hateful, no matter whether it is naked or hidden." Chen Yuan spoke slowly, as if he was telling a story to a sleeping child. "Without these obstacles, we can lead him by the nose. Who will lead him by the nose? Although Bai Wei has no martial arts and is a careless person, he is a rogue. Who can convince the rogue to believe in him? What? Ordinary people can't do it. Humans can't do it, but what about gods? Gods should be able to do it." Chen Yuan raised his head and looked at Wu Shen with a smile: "You think so? Old god."
Wu Shen let out a long breath, pinched his beard and shook his head: "I really don't want you to die! It's hard to find a true friend!" He pretended to close his eyes as he said, "You can actually find the exact same red bucket that aroused your suspicion? After tracing this, there is no second person in the world."
"It's not just barrels. I walked around the mountain for a day and found many corpses. They died not long ago, which coincides with the time when the Bai family disappeared. But they were all hanged from trees. It's a big tree, hanging The tree is full of people, like ripe fruits, it seems they have made an appointment to hang themselves." Chen Yuan said calmly.
"Oh, that's it. No wonder! Sanxian's Qinggong is even better than I thought. It only takes one day to get there and back. I admire it! I admire it." Wu Shen said and handed over his hand.
Chen Yuan ignored Wu Shen's praise and continued: "It's always easy for people to be impressed by others in the fields they are good at. The old immortal's ability to turn a hundred coins into a thousand taels in the nine games is the string on Bai Wei's puppet. You let If he goes east, he will definitely not go west." Chen Yuan sighed: "So you only need to tell him straightforwardly about his future actions, and he will definitely execute them meticulously, for fear of omitting anything."
"He did not miss any detail. If he was really careless and forgot, I would have to implement other backup plans. I am really grateful for such thoughtfulness." Wu Shen said seriously.
"For example, if he forgets to go out at noon, he won't happen to meet someone who loses money in a bet with him. Gambling can always start and end, which makes it seem blunt. You may not necessarily obey all your words." Chen Yuandao .
Wu Shen nodded: "It's not just him, this time all the people in the game are extremely worry-free, including Song San who is picking up shit. I just said that I will set off back at noon today. Thank him for the good wine." He didn't have time to deliver it, so he left it on the counter of Mingxiang Tower. He arrived at Mingxiang Tower exactly at noon. And after leaving the alley of Mingxiang Tower, it was his home, so he would definitely pick him up. After scraping the manure in the morning, if there is no wine, he will just go to the fields to dump manure and work. It will save him a special trip. "
"If Bai Wei arrived at noon and Song San hadn't arrived, would the play still be performed?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Why not? If Song San doesn't come, there will always be Zhang San, Li San and Wang San. They can always put the burden there before Bai Wei and then send the waiter away. It's just that Song San's words are the most natural and unexpected. .Song San is an honest person that everyone knows, a local, and his identity is a turd picker." Wu Shen said.
"What if Song San arrives but Bai Wei doesn't arrive?"
"Bai Wei will definitely arrive. He went out at exactly noon every day for those two days. After several hints from me, he already felt that the greatest good luck would be waiting for him if he went out at noon." Wu Shen smiled. .
"Then how could he walk all the way to Mingxiang Tower? There are so many roads, why did he only take this one." Chen Yuan asked.
"Because this is the shortest route from his tile-roofed house to the place where he met me twice." Wu Shen smiled even more proudly.
"What if he came out not looking for you?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Of course, there will be an old woman carrying a basket, showing a roast chicken she bought at the market. The roast chicken is about to fall from the side of the basket, and the old woman doesn't even notice." Wu Shen's eyes narrowed. . "When she reaches Mingxiang Tower, the old woman will suddenly notice the vegetable water that is about to fall, re-stuff it, cover it with a cloth, and leave in the donkey cart."
Chen Yuan let out a long sigh: "I just know what it means to calculate everything. Every time the person being calculated takes a wrong step, someone will lead him to the right path." Then he said: "The only one left is Bai Wei himself. Although no one taught him to do this, he is still in such a big circle, and his behavior cannot escape from this circle. He can always meet satisfactory expectations, and even if he does not, someone will fill in. "
"Yes, yes." Wu Shen nodded repeatedly with satisfaction. "I just gave some firecrackers to two children in front of Mingxiang Building. I told them that blowing up the cesspit would attract dung maggots to move, and they ran away in a hurry."
"I just have one question." Chen Yuan arrived suddenly.
"Ask, you fool." Wu Shen said with a smile.
"Why Bai Wei, Bai family?" Chen Yuan said.
"First of all, he is the easiest to design, and secondly, their family is easy to destroy." Wu Shen hesitated to speak.
"I guess the most important thing is the 'three'." Chen Yuan said.
"Three... When I went to Baiya Mountain to collect herbs in my early years, the steamed buns were robbed by monkeys. Wu Shen paused and said, "Widow Wang gave me two cooking cakes. "Wu Shen really sighed.
Chen Yuan also let out a long breath: "Who would have thought that it would be because of a joke that caused the family to be wiped out."
Wu Shen was noncommittal, thought for a while and then said: "Actually, their annihilation has been doomed for a long time, but it has just been advanced."
"Why advance?" Chen Yuan asked,
"For you." Wu Shen said.
"You killed someone for me?" Chen Yuan was surprised, then smiled and said: "If I were a girl, listening to what you said, I would still follow you even if you are so old."
Wu Shen also smiled: "I didn't kill for you. I wiped out the whole Bai family a few months ago, leaving Bai Wei to be tortured slowly. It was you who saved him from suffering for a few months." .”
"I didn't know for a moment whether I was guilty or meritorious." Chen Yuan shook his head.
"People who are curious are guilty, and people who like to join in the fun are also guilty." Wu Shen said.
"That's why I like to hang out with interesting people and interesting things. It's just adding insult to injury." Chen Yuan said.
"That's right. I know you will come and take a look after hearing about this strange thing." Wu Shen said.
"But that can only lead me to Baizhu Town. How could I come to Qinggang City?" Chen Yuan was puzzled.
"The Jade Guanyin from Qiuxuetang who congratulated Gang Leader Peng on his birthday has 'Gan Lai' in his hand." Wu Shen said.
"Why should I take this 'Gan Lai'? What does the Western Region Ten Thousand Poison Sect and the border town Qiuxuetang collude to poison the Beiyuan clan leader and all the martial arts people who came to celebrate his birthday? What does it have to do with me?" Chen Yuan was slightly angry.
"You really came to eavesdrop that day in Baizhu Town." Wu Shen said, "None of the masters in my house knew when you came. Good kung fu, really good kung fu." Wu Shen praised.
"You just told me to listen. If I don't go, I will let you down." Chen Yuan was still slightly angry.
"Yes, yes. In fact, there is no need to reveal that there will be such interesting things at Peng Gong's birthday banquet, you will definitely be there."
"Yes, it's just because my best brother was poisoned by a strange poison and couldn't find an antidote and was slowly waiting to die." Chen Yuan said angrily.
"And you happened to hear that after the poison from Gan Lai is gone, it can cure hundreds of poisons. This antidote is even more famous in the Central Plains, and it is the magic medicine of Wanyi Valley, 'Gui Qu Lai'. It can cure hundreds of poisons and can restore the pain. Damaged muscles and veins, regardless of old illness or new injuries, can still save a dying person's life for a few quarters of an hour, which no one in the world would want." Wu Shen said proudly, "And you have been gone in just two months. I asked for medicine from the Valley of Ten Thousand Medical Doctors three times but couldn't get it. Now that I know that Duke Peng's birthday has a 'Return', how can you not miss it?"
"Such a sophisticated killing tactic was designed just to lure me here." Chen Yuan sighed. "If such an exquisite killing scene is just the beginning that brings me here, then what awaits me will be even more exciting, I think."
"You have wronged me." Wu Shen shook his head: "How can I have the energy to design anything else? In the current situation of loose immortals, how can anyone dare to play a game of cat and mouse? Regardless of the fact that the strength of the hero Chen is the best in the world. With the power of one, this clever plan alone requires people to be extremely cautious."
"Then why are you still arguing with me for a long time? Why don't you kill me immediately when I'm poisoned, and you're not afraid of long nights and dreams?" Chen Yuan asked.
"I don't think so! It's much more interesting to destroy such a person with your own hands than to teach such a disciple." Wu Shen said excitedly with red eyes. “But you are like that sought-after commodity, your life has already been booked.
"Who can actually snatch a life from Mr. Wu?"
Wu Shen did not answer, but just said to himself: "I just want to kill this group of martial arts heroes from the Central Plains. As for whether you heard about it that day or whether you will come, it actually has little to do with me. If you If you don’t come, they will all be dead now.”
Hearing this, the faces of all the people in the hall changed color, some were angry, some were frightened, some had trembling lips, or some were sweating profusely. There were a few heroes who were already dripping from their legs. If they could move, they would have knelt down and begged for mercy.
"If he doesn't come, I will be so angry that I will die." A feminine voice floated in from outside the door.
