After seeing Wu Laogou move his gun, Chen Ziyan also breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, the scene just now really shocked him. He thought that the old guy Wu Laogou had turned traitor and really wanted to do something to him.
Of course, Chen Ziyan is not afraid of being pointed at a gun. What he is afraid of is that he will lose Wu Laogou as a partner.
You must know that in today's time, it is not easy to find a partner who is capable, powerful, and has a common goal.
Not to mention that if you are really forced to take action, it will not only be the immediate thing, but the subsequent things will be the real trouble.
The nine sects may work independently at other times, but at this special time, they will definitely be united. If something happens to the dignified fifth master, the other eight sects will definitely go crazy.
Coupled with the three brothers of the Wu family, the final result is definitely more serious than poking a hornet's nest.
As for Wu Laogou actually shooting, Chen Ziyan was not worried. His skills did not allow him to have such an idea.
What Wu Laogou didn't know was that Chen Ziyan's "sluggishness" in his eyes was actually the accumulation of strength in his muscles. When he realized that the muzzle of the gun was pointing at him, Chen Ziyan had already done what he did. Be prepared to dodge and counterattack.
He might not be able to successfully dodge all the bullets at such a close range, but staring closely at Wu Laogou, he was sure to dodge the first shot.
And as long as he can dodge the first shot, the rest will be up to him.
After confirming that Wu Laogou made no other movements, Chen Ziyan relaxed his body slightly and at the same time, the short arrow held upside down in his palm disappeared silently, as if it had never appeared before.
Once Wu Laogou really pulled the trigger just now, his short arrow would definitely penetrate the old man's throat the moment the bullet came out of the chamber.
"Young Chen, you are back."
Wu Laogou didn't know Chen Ziyan's mental activities and the decisions he made in an instant. At this time, he had no intention of exploring these. After seeing the person clearly, he felt as if an entire heavy burden had been lifted off him.
"Some things over there delayed us." Chen Ziyan walked to Wu Laogou, looked at the old man and asked in confusion: "Fifth Master, did something happen here?"
Because of the conversation during the meeting. There was an emergency, so Chen Ziyan's attention was always on Wu Laogou, so he saw Wu Laogou's behavior just now. It was for this reason that Chen Ziyan asked this question.
It’s hard not to notice such an obvious action.
And more importantly, how could such an action appear on Wu Laogou, and how could Wu Laogou do it without concealment.
This is an unusual signal in Chen Ziyan's opinion.
Who is Wu Laogou?
This man has been in the fighting business for decades and has descended into countless ancient tombs. Not only has he gone through mountains of swords and seas of fire, but he has also been around in piles of dead people. How can he be so successful? What could make him lose his temper like this?
Seeing Chen Ziyan, a junior, is like seeing a life-saving straw. This is wrong no matter how you think about it.
But this also made Chen Ziyan roughly understand why Wu Laogou had such a big reaction.
Obviously, it is a stress response of people under some kind of heavy pressure.
Chen Ziyan really couldn't imagine what happened to Wu Laogou to make an old man become like this.
It would be hard for him to feel at ease if he didn't ask.
“Something did happen.” Wu Laogou sighed and nodded.
Chen Ziyan did not rush to ask, but patiently waited for the next step.
He knew that Wu Laogou was not calm yet, so he had to give him some time.
And Wu Laogou is not someone who will deliberately show off at this time. He knows when to do something.
Wu Laogou did not have such boring thoughts. He took a deep breath to completely calm down his agitated mood, and then told Chen Ziyan about his new discovery.
What he wants to say is not complicated at all, but it is not simple at all.
The specific situation is easy to understand, that is, after Chen Ziyan left, Wu Laogou, who had nothing to do, focused on Li Wuzhixia, and then diverted some of his attention to other people in the fortress. On the staff.
This was Wu Laogou's unintentional behavior, but what he didn't expect was that he actually discovered the problem at this glance.
Wu Laogou didn't pay much attention to it at first, but as the observation deepened, he discovered something that made his hair stand on end.
That is, everyone in this underground fortress has problems, and they are not simple ones.
The most important thing is that those staff members do not look like Li Wu, and there are even differences between them. What does this mean? How come he, an old man in the world, doesn't know.
Being in such a depressing environment, the behavior of these people in front of him became more and more weird, and Chen Zi was delayed in returning, which made Wu Laogou start to have random thoughts.
People are most afraid of random thoughts. After going back and forth like this, Wu Laogou became what Chen Ziyan had just seen.
"Everyone has problems?" Chen Ziyan couldn't help but be surprised after hearing this.
This was really something he didn't expect. In fact, after he discovered that there was a dark room in the camp, he also thought about whether there would be the same problem here, but he didn't expect that the scope would be so wide. How could this be the case? The administrative research site is a den of thieves. It's not an exaggeration.
“That’s not right!”
But then Chen Ziyan felt that something was wrong. After he was surprised, he immediately found that such remarks were somewhat illogical.
Although he has never come into contact with Wu Laogou before, he still knows something about this man's life story. Coupled with the work style of his family, it can be said that he can see the whole picture at a glance. This family can be said to be a typical benchmark for resistance to pressure. There is no reason why this man would be so affected by this that he would be in a state of panic!
Not to mention that in terms of courage and insight among the old nine sects, the middle three sects are definitely among the best. As the helmsman of the Wu family, Wu Laogou has never seen anything weird and weird in his life, and his emotional control ability has probably reached the state of perfection. , tension may arise, but actions controlled by emotions should never be allowed.
This is indeed reasonable when it comes to other people, but it is completely unreasonable when it comes to Wu Laogou.
Thinking like this, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but cast his eyes on Wu Laogou's face. Although this man seemed calm, his eyebrows trembled from time to time and his eyes glanced around involuntarily. Look, it's clear that I haven't completely regained my composure.
"This is definitely not how Wu Laogou should behave!" Chen Ziyan thought silently in his heart.
Now he even began to wonder whether the Wu Laogou in front of him had been swapped.
"Fifth Master, please calm down first. We can discuss the matter later." Chen Ziyan pressed Wu Laogou's shoulders and said solemnly.
Wu Laogou's situation is very wrong now, but he can't just let it go. It is very likely to cause great hidden dangers. Chen Ziyan doesn't want to make up for it at the last moment.
And if he wanted to find out the specific reason, he had to let Wu Laogou recover first.
"Calm down?" Wu Laogou first glanced at the hand on his shoulder, feeling puzzled. He didn't feel that he needed to calm down. But when he met Chen Ziyan's solemn gaze, his heart suddenly shook, and he immediately realized that something might be wrong with him.
The experienced Wu Laogou knows that sometimes thinking he is normal does not mean he is really normal. The authorities are not as simple as they say.
At the moment, he no longer cared about the doubts in his heart. After forcing himself to collect his thoughts, he slowly closed his eyes and began to take deep breaths at a special frequency.
"Huh...huh...huh..."
About two minutes later, when Wu Laogou opened his eyes again, the impatience deep in his eyes had disappeared. , his deep eyes were full of thoughts.
When Chen Ziyan saw this, he knew that Wu Laogou was no longer in the state just now.
"Thank you for reminding me, little friend. My old bones almost got injured." After a moment, Wu Laogou looked at Chen Ziyan with a wry smile, expressing his self-deprecating thanks.
Now that he has regained his consciousness, he is very aware of how dangerous his state was just now. If Chen Ziyan hadn’t reminded him and allowed him to continue to sink, I am afraid that this underground fortress would be his burial place. Bone place.
"Fifth Master, you are polite. This is all as it should be, but do you know what is going on?" Chen Ziyan waved his hand nonchalantly and asked immediately.
Now he wants to know even more, how and what kind of trick Wu Laogou, an old man in the world, fell into.
They will have to stay here for a while. If they don’t figure out the inner reason, they will always feel uneasy.
When Wu Laogou heard this question, he shook his head helplessly: "The old man capsized in the gutter this time, and now he is a little confused."
While speaking, he glanced at the man in his arms. The sleeve dog, after seeing that the little guy looked lazy and showed no abnormality, continued:
"But one thing is certain at present, that is, I will have problems, and it is not due to the illusion. "
Seeing his firm tone when he said this, and thinking of his previous actions, Chen Ziyan immediately understood that the sleeve dog could help Wu Laogou resist such attacks.
At the same time, I also understood why Wu Laogou, the sleeve dog, never left his side.
Compared with the sleeve dog's attack power, this ability to deal with supernatural forces is the most valuable thing about this sleeve dog.
Had it not been for Chen Ziyan’s own super resistance, he might have been thinking about how to ask about the origin of the sleeve dog.
"It's not the influence of illusions or other abilities? What could it be?" Chen Ziyan touched his chin and fell into thought.
Wu Laogou's previous state was very mysterious. It was not that his consciousness was confused, but more like his emotions were being guided.
Although there are many reasons that can cause this symptom, there are only three most suspicious ones at present.
The first is his own problem, but this does not apply to Wu Laogou. This person is not the kind of person who is fragile.
The second is supernatural power. For example, Chen Ziyan’s little fairy can make people fall into lifelike illusions. Naturally, other creatures can also have the ability to guide emotions.
But Wu Laogou’s sleeve dog showed no reaction, which means that this possibility has also been ruled out.
In the end, only the third possibility is left, which is the most common drug.
With this calculation in his mind, Chen Ziyan expressed his thoughts.
"Medicine?" Wu Laogou pondered slightly after hearing the words, and then looked at Chen Ziyan: "Little friend Chen, do you feel uncomfortable?"
In fact, Wu Laogou also suspected this, and the reason why he asked this is I want to see if Chen Ziyan feels it.
If it’s really a drug problem, there’s no reason why he’s the only one who got it.
Even if Chen Ziyan didn’t stay here as long as him, it wasn’t that short, and it would still have some impact.
"I don't feel anything at all." Chen Ziyan shook his head slightly, and then added: "Fifth Master, my situation is a bit special and cannot be used as a reference standard."
He knew what Wu Laogou meant, but his family knew his own affairs, and his bloodline was the nemesis in this regard. Not to mention this kind of emotion-inducing drugs, even intestinal poisons might not be able to defeat him.
Maybe he did fall into the trap, but his bloodline was able to swallow up the inhaled medicine before it took effect.
In this way, his feelings cannot be used as a standard.
"Is that so..." Wu Laogou glanced at Chen Ziyan thoughtfully, but did not pursue the question further.
He has seen this kind of thing before. Although he has never heard that Xiling has the same ability, it is not surprising that Xiling has been passed down for thousands of years and is a bit of a low-key thing.
Haven't you seen that even he has a dog by his side?
"Fifth Master, I think the problem is not with the environment, but more likely with the people." Chen Ziyan thought for a while and said.
Judging from Wu Laogou's previous performance, if this drug really exists, its role should be to guide and diffuse emotions.
If it was really caused by the environment, there was no reason why these staff members could stay here well, so he thought it might be someone's problem.
"Is the problem with people?" Wu Laogou thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "It makes sense. This is the most reasonable explanation at present."
If he could give Li Wu a hallucinogenic drug, then others could naturally do the same thing.
“But there are so many people here, it’s hard to tell them apart.” When Wu Laogou was talking, his eyes would glance at the little fairy who was squatting quietly next to him from time to time.
He felt that if he wanted to find the culprit as quickly as possible, he still had to rely on Chen Ziyan’s spiritual ferret.
"We can only do it slowly." Chen Ziyan couldn't tell what Wu Laogou was thinking, but he didn't object.
If this matter is left alone, it will be a hidden danger after all, and it is not difficult for the little fairy, it just takes a little more time.
When Wu Laogou saw this, he knew that his goal had been achieved, so he stopped talking too much.
After Chen Ziyan gave the little fairy a few words, he looked at Wu Laogou again and asked: "Fifth Master, let's continue talking about your discovery."
There is a little fairy to go to. In the illusion to identify the drugger, Chen Ziyan finally took his hand away and returned his attention to Wu Laogou's discovery.
This is also an issue that cannot be ignored, and it is also something that Chen Ziyan is extremely interested in.
It is not the same as Li Wu, there are still internal differences. He wants to see how many monsters and monsters are coming to this small area! (End of chapter)
