Volume 19: Legend of Lu Xiaofeng Chapter 488: The Man Who Weaves the Web
"Bai Yujing, Liu Changjie, and Long Wu , where are they?"
There are rumors that Long Wu is dead because he failed to obtain Madam Xiangsi's magic elixir and eventually died of illness; but Xiao Ma also said that he had seen Long Wu outside the Di Mansion a few years ago.
From this we can see that it is not so easy for a big shot like Long Wu to die.
Moreover, Bai Yujing, Liu Changjie, and Long Wu disappeared at the same time, which was a very strange thing.
When the old man heard this question, he suddenly laughed.
"I don't know where Liu Changjie and Long Wu are. If I knew, I would have gone to find them a long time ago."
Ever since he was promoted to the realm of a god, there is almost nothing in the world that he cannot do. What he said "find them" was naturally not a good thing, but he was qualified to say this.
Su Weiyun asked: "You don't know where they went?"
The old man said, "I don't know, but I might be able to guess."
Su Weiyun asked: "How do you guess?"
The old man said, "Liu Changjie has always been free and unrestrained. He may have retired to the market to seek a breakthrough. Long Wu has been poisoned. Unless he finds a magic medicine or breaks through to the level of a god, he may be able to survive for a few years with his skills, but he will surely die!"
Su Weiyun asked, "You mean Liu Changjie and Long Wu are both preparing to break through?"
The old man said, "Yes."
Su Weiyun sneered and said, "You don't need to guess, I can guess this too!"
The old man said, "So you don't have to ask me at all. Didn't you also return after breaking through the realm? You are just a little faster than them."
Su Weiyun said: "But I have to ask you!"
The old man said, "Oh?"
Su Weiyun said: "Because you have set up a life and death net for them!"
——Who can lay a "life and death net" for masters like Liu Changjie and Long Wu? And what kind of net can catch them?
When Lu Xiaofeng and Chang Wuyi heard this, their faces changed.
They may not know Liu Changjie and the old man, but they must have heard of the names of "Eternal Sword" Bai Yujing and "Sanxiang" Long Wugongzi.
He was one of the top masters in the previous generation.
Everyone in the martial arts world thought that they had achieved success and voluntarily retired from the martial arts world, but now it seems that there are other reasons.
The old man was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "Sure enough, I couldn't hide it from you!"
"I did lay a big net for them. Not only them, but many other people were caught in that net!"
"Including me?"
"You must be one of them!"
Su Weiyun asked: "Who else?"
The old man smiled and said, "Since you asked this, I have no choice but to tell you the truth."
"There is also the angry pony, Kong Lanjun under Long Wu, Lan Lan on Wolf Mountain, Baili Changqing of Changqing Escort Agency, Qiu Fengwu of Peacock Villa, Miss Wang, the heir of the Overlord Spear, the cowardly little Mengchang, the bandits of Hungry Tiger Hill, the Taoist priest of Qingcheng in Shuzhong, and the Yin-Yang old man of Kongtong..."
He named many names in one breath. Some of them were familiar to Su Weiyun; some he had only heard of but had never met; and some others he didn't even know the names of.
Su Weiyun suddenly showed a trace of fatigue, and asked carefully: "In other words, the change of ownership of Peacock Villa, Xiao Ma becoming Lord Di, Miss Wang's madness, the great changes in Hungry Tiger Hill, etc., were all caused by you?"
——Su Weiyun had guessed this a long time ago, because after much thought, he realized that these changes could not be caused by ordinary forces, nor could they be planned by ordinary people.
——But with such a huge network, it is hard to imagine who will benefit from it, and this is the most bizarre thing.
——It was not until Su Weiyun heard that Ding Xi had gone to sea that he vaguely confirmed his thoughts and understood the connection between the two matters.
The old man said frankly: "This is not my own achievement. I just took advantage of their desires a little bit. If they didn't want to do this, I wouldn't force them."
——He is very smart. If you force something, there will be traces of it. No matter whether it is Liu Changjie, Long Wu, or Su Weiyun, they will all see the clues from it.
Su Weiyun's eyes sparkled with two rays of light. She stared at the old man and asked, "Miss Wang is crazy. Is this what she originally wanted to do?"
The old man said calmly, "She is not crazy at all. You know that, and Madam Gongsun knows that too. She is too cautious. I just sent someone to win her over, and she thought that the Azure Dragon Society was going to attack the Great King Escort Agency again, so she pretended to be crazy and stupid in order to save herself."
"You are far away overseas, but you seem to know everything."
Su Weiyun sighed. The old man was truly the most terrifying person he had ever met since the first day he entered the martial arts world.
Not only is he a martial arts master and a wise man, but he is also well-informed and understands human nature. He knows things on the surface and can guess the secrets hidden deep in people's hearts.
…
After a while, the palace master led Ding Xi in.
Ding Xi has changed his appearance and is no longer the same as when Su Weiyun first saw him.
His beard was untidy, his hair was messy, there were strange light lines and red spots all over his face, and his hands had become very rough.
Su Weiyun almost didn't recognize him.
Ding Xi had his head down, fiddling with his hands beside him, as if he was thinking about something.
The palace mistress brought him here and didn't say much, but sat down in her seat.
Ding Xi stood in front of the hall in a daze, saying nothing, and just kept gesticulating to himself.
Su Weiyun frowned and asked, "Is Ding Xi crazy too?"
The old man stared at him intently, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid there are not many people in the world who are more sober than him."
After a while, Ding Xi suddenly shouted loudly, and somersaulted , saying: "The so-called 'fingertip magic', the circulation of true energy, and the sound of finger snapping, is not that difficult!"
He flicked his fingers, exerted force in the air, and hit the large iron spike on the ground with a "thump, thump, thump" sound, which actually made a sound of iron colliding.
Su Weiyun's brows gradually relaxed.
It seemed that Ding Xi had just reached a critical moment in comprehending a unique skill, so he was deducing in his mind and seemed absent-minded.
"Okay, old man, I've learned the finger trick. Now you should give me another secret book."
Ding Xi looked straight at the old man, as if no one else was around.
The old man asked, "What other secret book do you want?"
Ding Xi said without hesitation: "The Yi Jin Jing from Shaolin Temple!"
The old man said, "Don't ask me this. There is another master here who has also practiced."
Ding Xi looked around and asked, "Who?"
As soon as the word "who" came out of his mouth, he saw Su Weiyun.
Although more than ten years had passed, he still recognized it at a glance.
"Brother Su?!"
He was surprised and asked, "How did you get here?"
Su Weiyun said: "I'll come to find you."
Ding Xi's eyes were filled with joy, but they dimmed immediately. He said, "I have countless martial arts manuals for you to practice here. Brother Su, you should go back."
"If you see my father, give him my regards."
Su Weiyun understood what he meant. He knew best how powerful the old man was and was unwilling to let Su Weiyun take risks for him easily or pay a huge price.
Su Weiyun smiled and shook his head, saying: "I have the ability to rescue you."
He suddenly stood up, stood in the middle of the field, and said, "Lord Longxu, it's time for you and I to see who will win!"
The old man was stunned and said, "Do you really want to fight me? As long as Ding Xi is willing, you can take Ding Xi away. There is no need to do this."
Su Weiyun said coldly: "You set such a big net to catch me, do you still want to let it go?"
