Chapter 670 The situation is complicated
The time when the old master failed to break through the barrier was in April last year. At that time, Li Bingshen was on duty in Hougu. He stayed there for a full month, and he voluntarily changed shifts with others every time.
The reason for Li Bingshen to change shifts is also very simple, because he can get late-night snacks while on duty there and get a little more rewards.
This is how I realized that in Baiwu Mountain, in addition to the inheritance relationship between the sect and the disciples, there is also a relationship similar to employment. When the disciples perform the tasks given by the upper level of Baiwu Mountain, they have money to receive, and the less anyone is willing to do the tasks, the more money they give.
No matter what, through this visit, Liang Houzai and I became more and more sure that the old Master failed to break the barrier and Li Bingshen could not escape the relationship.
Things went smoothly overall, but when I returned to the hall, Liang Houzai and I were both worried.
What I worry most now is Yan Xiaotian. What would he think if he knew that Ye Fanxin was the mastermind behind all the incidents? A few years ago, his most trusted teacher had betrayed him, and now this woman who is extremely important to him has also betrayed him, or this woman has been deceiving him from the beginning and using him, he may not be able to withstand such a blow psychologically.
In addition, one thing that makes me unable to understand is that since Yan Xiaotian can see through a person's quality at a glance, why has he never doubted Ye Fanxin after so many years? Could it be that Ye Fanxin can not only tamper with memory, but also change other people's senses about her?
Liang Houzai walked beside me and didn't say anything. Seeing that the palace gate was not far from us, I couldn't help asking him: "What are you thinking?"
Liang Houzai frowned and said to me, "I'm assuming that if Ye Fanxin was not Master Zhou Tian, who would Master Zhou Tian be?"
I wondered: "Isn't it possible to confirm now that Ye Fanxin is Master Zhou Tian? How can I make such assumptions?"
Liang Houzai said: "We can only confirm that the person lurking in Baiwu Mountain can tamper with other people's memories, but we cannot yet determine whether he is Zhou Tianshi or Luo Zhongxing. It's just that Zhou Tianshi is more likely to be Zhou Tianshi. I was thinking, if that person could change the memories of Yan Xiaotian and the evil god, why can't Ye Fanxin change Ye Fanxin? Ye Fanxin is indeed a problem, and it is indeed a fake death, but this doesn't seem to prove that she is Zhou Tianshi."
I didn't understand his words: "What does it mean?"
Liang Houzai: "Maybe, Ye Fanxin was controlled by that person. After her memory and personality were tampered with, she made those unreasonable actions. In addition, when we first went to see the ice coffin, we did not carefully check the surrounding environment, so I think that the person who tampers with the memory of Erye Zhang may not be Ye Fanxin, but another person hidden in the supply point. And the person who tampers with the memory of Yan Xiaotian and Lao Fuzi is also him."
I have to say that this situation is not completely impossible.
I said, "Without Master Jian's ability, there is a person hidden nearby, will he not notice it?"
Liang Houzai said: "When the heavenly eye power reaches the fifth level of heaven, it can block the five senses of others to a certain extent. Although Mr. Jia's second master has a sharp hearing, if it is blocked, he will not be able to find that person. Brother Dao, I think now that the matter in Baiwushan is much more troublesome than we imagined."
Indeed, if Master Zhou Tian can control Ye Fanxin, he can also control other people, Master Laozi and Yan Xiaotian, may be controlled by him. Everyone in Baiwushan may be the eyeliner of Master Zhou Tian, and if we want to find him, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
At this time, Liang Houzai said to me again: "From the current situation, the person lurking in Baiwu Mountain cannot tamper with your memory, and when we are by your side, he will not rashly attack us. Don't have any more troops like today. We can only be safe if we are by your side."
I nodded: "There is no need to divide troops to fight in the future."
Liang Houzai: "After we separate, there is no guarantee that the person will not tamper with Xian'er and the others. When they come over, we'd better verify whether their memories have been tampered with."
I still nodded.
There are more than ten minutes left before the four hours we agreed on. Liang Houzai and I were the first to come here, and the others have not yet appeared.
Liang Houzai visited the hall several times and checked several shadows in the corner of the hall. The shadows were all very large, and the smallest could hide one person. It was actually very dangerous for Yan Xiaotian to work in such a place. In addition, there were thick stone pillars and wide upper beams in the hall, which could hide people in these places.
About ten minutes later, Yan Xiaotian and Liu Shangang arrived at the hall. Not long after, the second master of Jason came with Xian'er and Luo Fei.
After everyone was here, Liang Houzai and I tested everyone's situation and asked some things we had experienced with them in the past to see if they could answer them.
Only Xian'er had problems. Although Xian'er still remembered the things she experienced with me, she forgot the experience of raising souls in the Soul-Shihun Village, and also forgot the fact that my master had destroyed the Yang body.
But Luo Fei, who was acting with her, had no problem. I don’t know what Mr. Zhang had experienced in the past, but he still remembered the incident when he went to the Bohai Tomb some time ago, and also remembered the past when we joined forces to deal with Liu Wenhui.
After Xian'er found that her memory had been tampered with, she became a little anxious and kept asking me what was going on. I could only tell her that she had hit someone else's art. When they were looking for the big monster, the person hidden in Baiwu Mountain had followed them.
At this time, Liang Houzai asked Mr. Zhang Er: "Mr. Er, I remember you said before coming to Shaanxi that Ye Fanxin was kind to the husband's family?"
Mr. Zhang nodded and said, "Well, it was about five or six years ago that the Jia family encountered a major change. Ye Fanxin revealed the news to us in advance, and our Lao Yun family escaped. This past event involves the secrets of the Lao Yun family, so I can't say too much."
Liang Houzai rubbed his temples and said to me with some confusion: "If Ye Fanxin was Master Zhou Tian, why would she help the Yun family? You must know that the Yun family is also a strong enemy of the Funeral Cult."
Until he finished speaking, Liang Houzai realized that he had let go and immediately looked at Yan Xiaotian.
He looked at Yan Xiaotian, and Yan Xiaotian also stared at him with wide eyes: "What did you say just now?"
Liang Houzai smiled awkwardly: "That's what I said, don't take it to your heart. That's just my assumption. Your master's wife may not be Master Zhou Tian."
Yan Xiaotian's brow frowned into the word "chuan": "My master's wife has passed away. What you said is... a disrespect to him."
Seeing that I couldn't hide it anymore, I simply stopped hiding it from Yan Xiaotian and told him directly: "Your master's wife is not dead."
Yan Xiaotian looked at me, but he didn't say anything for a while, his eyes widened, and he was both shocked and excited.
Liang Houzai said to him: "Your master's wife shouldn't be dead. In fact, during the few hours we were separated, I tried to make many assumptions. Each assumption seemed to make sense, but every assumption also had something unexplainable. To be honest, my mind has never been as messy as it is now."
Yan Xiaotian seemed to have not heard Liang Houzai's words. He touched me and asked carefully: "Is my master's wife really not dead?"
I said, "Houzai and I went to the ice coffin to see it. Your master's wife's body was missing. There was still residual body temperature on the cotton at the bottom of the coffin."
Yan Xiaotian stammered and couldn't speak. The expression on his face was very complicated, and I couldn't know what kind of mood he was at the moment.
After a long time, Yan Xiaotian calmed down a little. He looked at Liang Houzai again and asked Liang Houzai without any clear words: "Why do you suspect my master's wife?"
Liang Houzai sighed: "I not only doubt your master's wife, but also you and Luo Fei. I even assumed that the old master is Master Zhou Tian. If he was Master Zhou Tian, many things would make sense. To put it bluntly, everyone who has been in Baiwu Mountain is suspicious, but your master's wife is the most suspicious. After all, what happened to her is too strange."
Mr. Zhang was puzzled and said, "I have performed an autopsy on Ye Fanxin. She is indeed dead. The wound on her body cannot deceive anyone."
Liang Houzai said: "The reason I suspect Ye Fanxin is because you have performed an autopsy on her. I suspect that you tampered with your memory after the autopsy. But there is another possibility, that when you performed an autopsy on Ye Fanxin, there was a person hiding near the ice coffin. He tampered with your and Wang Lei's memories."
Mr. Zhang rubbed his left ear and his face became a little dull: "Why do I listen... so lingering, how can you say, what do you want to express? Is Ye Fanxin Zhou Tian Master?"
Liang Houzai said "tsk" and said, "I can't be sure if she is Zhou Tianshi. I just think she is the most suspicious."
Mr. Zhang urged him to ask, "Who is Master Zhou Tian?"
Liang Houzai: "I don't know who Zhou Tianshi is. Everyone who has been in Baiwu Mountain may be."
Mr. Zhang was anxious and was carried around by Liang Hou. His anger also came: "Do you think I am? I have been in Baiwu Mountain for another month."
Liang Houzai said: "No, I mean, before Zhao Dekai's temperament changed drastically..."
Before Liang Houzai finished speaking, I waved my hand to interrupt him, and then said to Mr. Zhang, "Second Master, don't make things difficult for Houzai. The situation in Baiwushan is more complicated than we imagined. Ye Fanxin is indeed very suspicious. I know she has kindness to the old Mr. Zhang, but now, we have to let go of that little personal relationship first."
While speaking, I looked at Yan Xiaotian specifically. The expression on his face was very complicated, and his heart must be very confused.
Mr. Zhang nodded and said to me: "Then what should you do, I will listen to you this time."
I thought about it and said, "First of all, we must stabilize our position. Master Zhou Tian... Let's assume that the person lurking in Baiwu Mountain is Master Zhou Tian. Master Zhou Tian has been lurking in Baiwu Mountain for at least ten years, but has not revealed any flaws, which shows that he is a very cautious person and has great ability. I now have a feeling that he seems to have laid many mazes in Baiwu Mountain. Now, we have all entered his maze, because we can't find a way out, and we are gradually disorganized."
Liang Houzai nodded in agreement: "The metaphor of Brother Dao is still very appropriate."
I continued, "Since he can set up a maze for us, we might as well do the opposite and set up a maze for him to disrupt his formation."
Mr. Zhang lowered his head, as if he was savoring my words. After a while, he raised his head and asked me: "How to set up a maze array?"
"I do have a plan," I said, "but I need to use Luo Youfang's disguise technique. Skinny monkey, please contact Luo Youfang as soon as possible and let him come to Baiwushan. When contacting Luo Youfang, make sure that the phone will not be monitored."
Liu Shangang: "It's easy. Will I contact him now?"
