Chen Ziyan looked carefully and immediately discovered the clue. Although Li Wu's lips and teeth were locked tightly, his throat was surging regularly, which was obviously where the sound came from.
Chen Ziyan, who was watching Li Wu's every move, felt that the person in front of him was so weird.
Whether it is the strange sound squeezed out of the throat or the stiff body movements full of ambiguity, they do not look like what a living person should look like.
To put it bluntly, even the rice dumplings he encountered in the tomb in the past were probably more flexible than Li Wu at the moment.
At the same time, Chen Ziyan finally understood why Wu Laogou let him see it by himself, because this scene was really difficult to describe in words.
Especially in this already depressing depth of the ground, a person suddenly becomes so weird. To say that he doesn't feel anything would be an absolute lie.
In other words, Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou are both experienced masters. If they were ordinary people, they would be scared out of their wits even if they didn't escape.
"Fifth Master, how many times has this happened?" Chen Ziyan asked Wu Laogou beside him.
He knew that this was not the first time this had happened, but he didn’t know how many times it had happened.
“This is already the third time.” Wu Laogou responded.
While speaking, there was a trace of anger on his face. Even though he was well-informed, when he saw it for the first time, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat at such a strange scene.
"Three times...that is to say, once every ten minutes on average." Chen Ziyan pondered slightly and asked again.
This number of times did not exceed his expectations. After all, the time he left was counted. Since Li Wu did not maintain this state all the time, it meant that there were gaps in his state.
"Little friend, you mean...Li Wu's appearance is under his control?" Wu Laogou immediately heard the underlying meaning of Chen Ziyan's words and couldn't help but ask.
At first, he suspected that Li Wu was directing and acting, and even suspected that the other party had woken up. However, after verification, he found that this was not the case. He could still see the artificial pretense, so the idea was straightforward Moved to other aspects.
For example... there is a possibility that there is some kind of evil spirit underground.
"I wonder if Fifth Master has ever heard of the 'Corpse Language'?" Chen Ziyan did not give a direct answer, but asked a question.
He didn't expect this at first, but when he saw Li Wu making sounds with only his throat, he subconsciously thought of this secret technique.
Whether it was Li Wu's vocal movements or the strange croaking sound like a frog's croaking, they were all very similar to the corpse language in his memory.
"Corpse language?" Wu Laogou frowned slightly when he heard this and began to search for relevant information in his mind.
He felt that the word was familiar to him, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
Seeing him like this, Chen Ziyan reminded: "Fifth Master, it is said that this was a secret technique mastered by the Faqiu lineage back then. It has been lost for many years, and the people who understand it now are very rare."
Chen Ziyan now has two guesses about Li Wu's identity. One is naturally the Zhang family who has inherited the Corpse Language, and the other is the Wang family whose skills highly overlap with the Zhang family's in a sense.
As far as he knows, these two families are the only ones who still have the inheritance of Corpse Language.
Chen Ziyan’s words were like a flash of light that instantly penetrated Wu Laogou’s thoughts, reminding him of where he had heard the term ‘corpse language’.
Being able to communicate with ghost corpses and making sounds like frogs, isn't this the Zhang family's secret technique that Adjutant Zhang had mentioned to him back then?
With the return of past memories, Wu Laogou's eyes began to change when he looked at Li Wu. If he remembered correctly, when Adjutant Zhang was talking about the Corpse Language, he also said that it was an ancient inheritance unique to the main family. Doesn't this mean that... the Li Wu in front of him is a direct descendant of the Zhang family?
"Xiaoyou Chen, I once heard a friend say that corpse language is a secret skill of the Zhang family. Doesn't this mean... Manager Li is also a Zhang family member?" Wu Laogou turned to look at Chen Ziyan.
At this time, Wu Laogou did not know the existence of other factions of the Zhang family. He only thought that the Zhang family now respected Buddha. Under the guidance of this kind of thinking, he naturally regarded Li Wu as Zhang Da Buddha is placed in the eyes and ears of the Administration.
The reason why I asked Chen Ziyan was not to ask him to make a judgment, but to ask him what he thought.
Now that things have reached this point, even if Li Wu is the Zhang family, there is no way he can stop them from continuing.
But things continue to go on, and problems always have to be solved.
If Li Wu is really Zhang Dafo Lord's man, then we can't deal with him according to the original plan without looking at the monk's face and the Buddha's face.
Chen Ziyan could more or less guess what Wu Laogou was thinking. He knew what Zhang Dafoye meant to the older generation of Jiumen, so he shook his head decisively:
"That's not necessarily the case."
Compared with Wu Laogou, who was determined in his heart, Chen Ziyan had a different opinion, because he knew very well that the Zhang family's special skills may still be exclusive to Qilin blood, not to mention At this stage, the Zhang family, whether on Zhang Dafo Lord's side or on its overseas branches, has no interest in getting involved in the administration.
“Oh, what do you mean by this?” Wu Laogou asked.
He was really curious on what basis Chen Ziyan came to this conclusion.
After a little preparation, Chen Ziyan looked at Wu Laogou and said in a deep voice: "Fifth Master, have you ever heard of the Wang family?"
Yes, the appearance of Li Wu's strange change made Chen Ziyan decide to give Wu Laogou a little spoiler.
According to the development in his memory, Wu Laogou should have discovered traces of the Wang family during this time period.
Of course, he only discovered that the organization was hiding in secret and did not know that it was the Wang family, but Chen Ziyan didn't mind telling him this.
No matter how you look at it, there is no possibility of him becoming friends with the Wang family, so why not use this as a bargaining chip to strengthen the relationship with the Wu family.
This will not only be helpful for this cooperation, but also for some things in the future.
"Wang family?" Wu Laogou frowned and pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "I have never heard of this family."
He knew that Chen Ziyan would never say this name for no reason, but in his memory it was I can't find any relevant information at all.
"Did the Fifth Master ever know about Wang Zanghai?" Chen Ziyan was not surprised by this and continued to ask.
"Wang Zanghai?" Wu Laogou was stunned at first, and then asked: "The Wang Zanghai that the little friend mentioned is the Feng Shui Kanyu master who built the Forbidden City in the early Ming Dynasty?"
In While asking these questions, Wu Laogou already understood that the Wang family that Chen Ziyan mentioned before should be the descendants of Wang Zanghai as expected.
Wang Zanghai and the Wang family, how could there be such a coincidence in this world? The two must have come from the same place. (End of this chapter)
