Aspiring to the Immortal Path

v2 Chapter 20: Fisherman

"boom!"

Accompanied by a strong palm, the book case made of fine red sandalwood turned into powder.

"What's going on?" Gu Changqing's roar echoed above the eagle's nest, and three gold-clothed men lowered their heads and dared not say anything.

Gu Changqing's chest was constantly ups and downs, suppressing the anger in his heart, and shouted: "A bunch of useless idiots, bastards, rubbish! I can't find anything but let people find the traces. What use is it for you?!"

When I thought that the people he had sent had messed up the matter, Gu Changqing felt an unnamed anger again, wishing to smash the heads of all these people one by one!

The few people below were all trembling and afraid to answer. Instead, Gao Fei, who was standing by, said, "The Eagle Lord, don't get angry. I think there is something strange in this matter."

"What's wrong?" Gu Changqing looked at Gao Fei.

Just as Gu Changqing is currently the most valued talent in Tianshen Palace, Gao Fei is also the person that Gu Changqing values ​​and appreciates most, but Gu Changqing will pay much attention to his words.

Gao Fei has already replied: "Qiming is also an old man in Yingtang. He has done things in these years, and we have all seen him. It can be said that he is quite stable, and there has never been anything wrong."

Gu Changqing snorted: "I know, that's why I sent him, but I didn't expect to make such a leak."

Gao Fei already said: "But I think...Is it possible that Qiming's problem was not caused by them?"

"En?" Gu Changqing had already looked at Gao Fei: "You mean..."

Gao Fei bowed and replied: "I haven't seen the matter with my own eyes, and I dare not say anything affirmative. However, I asked someone to ask the students nearby, and I also inquired about Xin Yue and Si Yue'er. It is said that Tang Jie at that time Yelling that there is a thief is because you found a footprint, Eagle Lord, don’t you think that when you find a footprint, you shout that there is a thief. It's a little fuss?"

Gu Changqing's eyes narrowed: "You keep talking."

Gao Fei said: "In addition, according to the information obtained from the inquiry, the footprints were heard to be very clear, so they stepped on a pile of flour. To say that the three of them have minor flaws in their actions, there may be corners that they did not notice, leaving some Small clues, this is fair. But if you leave such clear evidence without realizing it... I don't think Qiming will be incompetent to this point."

Hearing this, the three people below were already looking at Gao Fei with tears in their eyes.

Gu Changqing finally recovered his calm.

He sat down and touched his chin for a moment of contemplation: "You are right, Gao Fei, I was excited about this incident. It seems that there is a ghost behind this incident..."

"But the subordinates still don't understand. If Tang Jie really wanted to frame him, then why did he do this?"

"Why?" Gu Changqing habitually knocked on the table, only to find that the book case had been smashed by his palm. He could only stand up and walk a few steps, and then said: "Of course it is because this matter is of great benefit to him. Xie Fengtang must now Have you noticed him? Then, the Moonwashing Sect will definitely keep a close watch on this person. With the Moonwashing Sect's intervention, it will be difficult for us to deal with him."

"What the eagle master meant is that he is trying to use this to attract the attention of the Axiomists and protect himself?" Gao Fei frowned, "But the problem is that the Axiomists are not good men and women. We want military lessons, they I want it too! Isn't it... Tang Jie has already planned to hand over the Bingjian to the Washing Moon faction?"

Speaking of this, Gao Fei's expression changed drastically.

If so, it might be the worst ending.

Gu Changqing shook his head, "I don't think he will hand over the military lesson. If he wants to, he can do it three years ago. Why bother to be a servant? As long as he is willing to hand over the military lesson, it will be a real pass. Presumably the Axiomists will agree to it too? If he wanted to do it, he would have done it long ago."

"Then why does he want to let the Washi Moon Sect find him?"

"Why?" Gu Changqing sneered, "Goofy, you forgot one thing."

"what?"

Gu Changqing paused and said: "So far, in fact, we haven't any evidence to prove that he is Tang Jie!"

Gao Fei was stunned.

Gu Changqing said, "Can you really be sure that he is Tang Jie who possesses a military mirror? He is just like the Tang Jie in origin, age, and name, but does that mean that he is Tang Jie? Honestly, even if he arrives Now, neither you nor I can be sure of this!"

"If something like this happens, he is ninety-nine percent likely!" Gao Fei gritted his teeth: "Otherwise, why would he create evidence to frame us?"

"The problem is that our people did go that night too! He shouted out at that time, indicating that it may not be a coincidence, but that he did find the clues left by Qiming and the others! So it is entirely possible that he felt that there was a problem, and then went to a big fanfare. The evidence expands. Young people always like to sensationalize, and this is also true!" Gu Changqing retorted: "The most important thing is, if Tang Jie really wants to frame up, why does he have to pick when we really go? He doesn't need it. Waiting for our people to come? You can do it directly at any time."

The next disciple named Qiming has quickly said: "Maybe it is because of the method of returning to the source?"

"Wrong!" Gu Changqing already said: "It is not only the method of returning to the roots and returning to the source that can point to the Heavenly God Palace. If I am Tang Jie, if I want to attract the attention of the Xiyue Academy, I can choose a simpler method. For example, shouting at me. I saw a person wearing a gold coat walking away from my room. Framed up! What is framed up is to create evidence! But he did not do this, but did it after we actually went there, even We can't confirm whether the evidence was made by him or not!"

"This..." Everyone was speechless again.

"In other words, we still can't confirm that he is Tang Jie? Can't even confirm that he deliberately framed it?" Qiming said bitterly.

"Yes, I can't confirm! Over the past three years, there have been many targets like him. It's just that he is the only person who called out my name, Tang Jie, and the only person who discovered that we had been there after we went to search. These two points can only prove that he is suspicious, but not that he is!" Gu Changqing sighed: "In this world, there are too many things that can be doubted, but too few things can be confirmed!"

He is a person who pays attention to evidence. Although he also thinks that the possibility of Tang Jie being Tang Jie is very, very high, it is unwise to act rashly before finding Bingjian.

If you admit your mistake, the consequences will be troublesome!

Gu Changqing has said again: "But because of this, I can understand why he wants to let the Moon Washers pay attention to him."

Gao Fei's eyes lit up: "Because the Moon Washers can't be sure."

"Yes." Gu Changqing smiled and nodded: "Now let's make an assumption..."

"Suppose, I am Tang Jie, and I am also Tang Jie. I have a military lesson in my hand. As long as I am successful in my future cultivation, I go to Tiandu Mountain and open the Great Formation, and I will be able to obtain the legacy of the soldier. , But it is not easy to do. To open the Tiandu Mountain Array, at least the strength of the real-life level of Tianxin is required. And to enter the state of mind of heaven, it is out of reach for most people."

Gao Fei said: "So not only do I have to enter the Nikkei Academy, but I must also get the Academy's attention, become the top ten disciple, and obtain the secret law inheritance, so that I can be stable into the Tianxin!"

"Yes. But I'm just a middle-class talent of Yumen Rank Five, why should I make the Moon Washers value me?" Gu Changqing said.

There was a fierce gleam in Gao Fei's eyes: "Naturally relying on the lessons of soldiers...this is also the only weight in my hand!"

"That's why I want to shout before entering the academy, hoping to attract the academy's attention."

"But I didn't expect that the Tenjin Temple would buy some people in the academy, suppress the information and not report it, and the news of the Moonwashing Party was also limited, and the attention might not be enough."

"So I must think of a way to further remind Cleanse Moon Academy."

"The problem is that I don't really want to hand over the Bingjian, and I can't reveal the secrets of the Bingjian, so how can I remind?"

"That's a bit difficult...but...maybe...you can use the Celestial Palace in the other way..." Gao Fei's voice gradually became low: "If the Washi Moon Sect finds that the Celestial Palace is suspicious of me, they will naturally notice. I."

"So what I have to do is to let the Tianshen Temple's investigation fall into the eyes of the Xiyue Pai." Gu Changqing continued: "This is equivalent to letting the Tianshen Temple tell the Xiyue Pai that Tang Jie may be Tang Jie."

Gao Fei continued: "Yes, the attention of the Moonwashing Sect will come to me in this way, but since the Heavenly God Palace is not sure of my identity, the Moonwashing Sect cannot be sure whether I am Tang Jie at all."

Gu Changqing: "So the Moon Washers will definitely keep an eye on me, but they won't act lightly."

Gao Fei: "But the risk still exists. The Moon Washing Sect is very likely to desperately grab me to search for my soul and find out the truth. After all, Moon Washing Academy is under the control of the Moon Washing Sect. They want to arrest people, not like the Celestial Palace. So troublesome."

Gu Changqing: "Where is there anything in the world that is not risky? Faced with giants like the Tianshen Temple and the Washing Moon Sect, if you want to get rid of the fire, you must take some risks, not to mention the possibility that the Washing Moon Sect will do this. When they come, they can’t be sure if I’m a person from the Celestial Palace. If I catch the wrong person, it’s not easy. The consequences of searching for souls are too serious. I can get the information I want. Secondly, there is still Tenjin Palace watching. If the Moon Cultivator doesn’t get anything, then Tenjin Palace will definitely not let go. At that time, the Celiac School used torture to treat its students and seek benefits, and the reputation of Celiac’s sect was stinking."

Gao Fei: "The life of a student is not worth money. But the reputation of the Moon Washers is worth some money. Especially in the case of uncertain people and uncertain income, if a student is killed in vain, just It's worse."

Gu Changqing: "So if I were Xie Fengtang, I would definitely not use such simple and rude methods."

Gao Fei: "I will pretend to be ignorant, adopt gentle methods and show my gratitude to the Moonwashing Sect, and I may confess everything by myself in the future. As long as Tang Jie handed it over by himself, the shrine will have to toss whatever it wants that day. It's useless, the Fame of the Washing of the Moon is not damaged, and both fame and fortune!"

Gu Changqing: "Even if he doesn't meet him, he can still get closer and listen to the actual news. As long as a little effort is required, a child can always deceive him. It still doesn't work. It is still too late to be arrested and tortured. Even the worst result. Tang Jie is not Tang Jie, it is just a small preference for a student, and he pays nothing but a fraction of a fraction. Anyway, he can attack and retreat. As long as he is in his own hands, everything is easy to do."

Gao Fei: "This is equivalent to using the Celestial Palace to contain the Celestial Palace, and then to use the Celestial Palace to contain the Celestial Palace in turn!"

Gu Changqing: "Snipe and clam fight, the fisherman benefits!"

Gao Fei: "So after the incident, Xie Fengtang will immediately give out ten bottles of elixir and one thousand spiritual money."

Gu Changqing: "This is just the beginning. If Xie Fengtang thinks that I am Tang Jie, it is very likely that if he knows the value of Bingjian, if I behave better..."

Gao Fei: "Even the ninth floor of Tianyi Pavilion may be opened for me... This kid is ruthless enough!"

Speaking of the last sentence, Gao Fei finally didn't imitate Tang Jie anymore, and Gu Changqing looked at each other and gasped at the same time.

The crowd below was even more stunned.

Why did Gu Changqing never think of the Moon Washing Sect? Because he believed that if Tang Jie wanted to hand over the Bingjian to the Washing Moon faction, it would have been handed in early, and there was no need to wait until now.

It was this limitation of thinking that made him make a big mistake!

Tang Jie did not intend to hand over the Bingjian to the Moon-washing Sect, but that didn't mean that he didn't want to use the Moon-washing Sect.

The best way to use the Moon Sect is not to tell the Moon Sect that "I am the person that the Celestial Palace wants", but to let the Spelling Sect himself "suspect that I am the person that the Celestial Palace wants" through the behavior of the Celestial Palace.

There seems to be no difference between the two.

But in some cases, there is a huge difference.

Suspicion is suspicion. You just can't confirm him before you find the real thing, before the other party admits it in person, and before there are only some fragmentary clues!

But he has already begun to fight for his own interests in this process.

Gao Fei murmured: "If this is his plan, then this kid's scheming is terrible, right? He is only sixteen now!"

Gu Changqing snorted: "You forgot that he attracted our attention. It started with the name Tang Jie, and when he went to the Weifu, he was already called Tang Jie. If he is really Tang Jie, then this plan, I'm afraid it has already started before entering Weifu."

"What?" Everyone looked at Gu Changqing in astonishment.

"That year, he was less than thirteen years old." Gu Changqing said leisurely.

Everyone was completely dumb.

In fact, this kind of thing is not difficult to infer. Under normal circumstances, just the shout of Tang Jie should make them think that there is a problem here~lightnovelpub.net~ Even if Tang Jie wants to profit from it, at least he can think of him. You must protect yourself with the hands of the Moonwashing Sect.

It's just that they never thought that an underage boy would come up with such a plan.

This is not something that can be thought of with a clever mind. The most important thing is that the opponent has seen through the world and has an extremely deep understanding of this society!

Compared to the plan that played them in the palm of the hand, this made them feel more surprised, shocked and incredible.

At that moment, they suddenly had a common expectation that all this was just speculation!

Just guessing!

Gao Fei said: "However, there is always an end to this kind of good things in the cracks. As long as one of the two sides runs out of patience, he will be finished..."

"Yes, this approach is playing with fire, and you will burn yourself sooner or later." Gu Changqing replied, "So there are only two possibilities for this event in the end."

"Which two are possible?"

"One he is indeed not Tang Jie. Up to now, all he has done is to call out that I am Tang Jie, and he found someone peeping and notified the academy. From the perspective of a normal person, there is nothing wrong with his approach, and the reaction is also It's normal, but our luck is bad, and his luck is too good. So this incident is just a coincidence. At his age, it is impossible and should not have come up with such a plan. It is our own suspicion and too much thinking."

"What about the second?"

"He is indeed Tang Jie, all of this is carefully planned by him, just waiting for us to get the bait. If this is the case, then we can no longer treat him as a naive boy, but as a cunning boy. The fox is treated as an unprecedented opponent. If it is such an opponent, it is impossible for him to be unaware of the hidden risks in this plan, so..."

Gu Changqing raised his head and looked at everyone:

"He must have a back hand!"
