Chapter 108: Half Prosperity and Half Death in the Lanke Chess Game
In this case, I can definitely contact Jian Jian and let her control her own personal and family matters.
From the bottom of my heart, I am not a murderous person, and I am fundamentally different from those charlatan killers.
"Tell me who your boss is, and I will spare your life. Here, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, no one can control it, and whoever has the gun has the final say."
If the other party is a smart person, he will understand that there is no point in keeping the master's secret now. If the person dies, no matter how loyal he is, it will be of no use. He can only surrender to me and tell me the answer.
"Mr. Ye, you don't dare to kill me. I know the secret of Miss Fang Xing's disappearance. I was there to follow her and you at the same time, so I laid an ambush in the forest half an hour in advance. I fully knew that before the fog appeared, the forest
What happened there?"
The middle-aged man gasped while talking.
After the comminuted fracture of his cheekbone, his voice has become like a broken gong, which is very ugly.
I didn't expect to hear other news on the top of the snow-capped mountains. I had been chasing Fang Xing for so long without any clues. I accidentally hit her by accident, and there seemed to be hope of finding her.
"Then let's talk about it carefully. I hope it's not fabricated. If you can impress me, I can spare your life."
The reason why I insist on climbing the Snowy Mountains is because I feel that when I am at the end of the road, I can climb up and look far away, and I can see the mountains and rivers, the doubts and the road, and the dark willows and flowers in the village.
It turns out that my sixth sense was absolutely correct, and meeting this assassin was the beginning of a new clue.
In order to survive, he must hand over useful information so that I can show mercy.
"Mr. Ye, that fog fell from the sky. It didn't float at all. It was like a helicopter hovering over the forest and throwing the fog down. When Miss Fang Xing went in and the fog disappeared, she took him away.
gone."
I understood immediately. After all, I had thought of it before, that the fog was a deception, and what was hidden behind it was something similar to a rope ladder or a lift. Fang Xing walked into the fog, the lift started working, and she was in the unknown place.
The situation disappeared.
"So what you mean is that someone manipulated the agency and took Fang Xing away? But after so long, why did she have no news? In your opinion, who took Fang Xing away?"
I didn't ask about this middle-aged man's dual identity, but the person who was interested in me and wanted to strike first must be an enemy of the Antiques Investigation Bureau.
Marin and I are the only front-line investigators of the Investigation Bureau. As long as they kill us and the entire Antique Investigation Bureau is wiped out, they will be relieved.
The middle-aged man shook his head: "I don't know. This is what I have observed. If Fang Xing is not dead yet, he will definitely contact you. I feel that if she doesn't know the inside story, how could she fall into the trap? This is not a coincidence, nor
This is not a trap set by the enemy, but a response operation, do you understand?"
I suddenly burst into laughter because this middle-aged man didn't know Fang Xing's specific identity. After all, nothing happened in the Antiques Investigation Bureau at that time. As an investigator, it was impossible for Fang Xing to escape and use such an incredible method.
I have told the liaison officer at the headquarters in the past that if Fang Xing wants to escape, there are at least a hundred ways to escape without leaving any trace. There is no need to disappear into the forests of Uttar Pradesh and make it look magical and weird.
Extremely.
"What else did you find? Is there only thick fog in the forest and no other sounds? For example, the sound of helicopter propellers turning, or the sound of gear chains sliding in the lifting mechanism? In short, it is impossible for humans to be silently taken away by thick fog. This violates the law.
Common sense, no one would believe it.”
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "I only know so much. If I could understand what happened in the forest? I would have reported it to the superiors long ago and exchanged it for a large amount of money. I would not have gone to great lengths to follow you up the mountain. I have said everything I need to say now."
I hope you can keep your oath, let me go, and let me go down the mountain!"
I could let him go, but what he just said made me feel troubled by Fang Xing's disappearance. No wise man could explain the scene where she disappeared into the thick fog, unless a god appeared, deliberately enlightened her, and then took him away.
"You'd better tell me who your employer is? It's definitely not a simple one, and a simple one won't let you do this."
This is another key question, because I suspect that the big boss behind the manipulation of the middle-aged man is probably the person who caused the Antiques Investigation Bureau to suddenly collapse.
The middle-aged man shook his head: "That's impossible! I will never say his name, otherwise all my relatives will suffer. He is pervasive and everywhere. In my life, life and death are not important, but my parents and
My brothers are all under threat from him, and I don’t want to hurt others.”
I was very surprised. It would be terrible if the master behind the scenes was so capable that the middle-aged man in front of him would not dare to reveal his secret even if he died.
The collapse of the Antiques Investigation Bureau made me further realize that the world is so vast and full of wonders, and there are countless Jianghu forces rising secretly to influence the development of this world.
I withdrew my pistol and took a step back.
The middle-aged man was very smart and knew that I wanted to spare his life, so he struggled to sit up.
"Mr. Ye, you are really a trustworthy person. I can't let good people suffer, lest you change your mind at any time. Let me tell you another secret. It's enough to exchange for my life. The Lanke chess game is in the Snowy Mountains. Whether it's in Dulong
In Bingzhu Temple, or on other peaks, the players are half prosperous and half withered, already two living dead. I don't understand, if the Lanke chess game was arranged by gods, how could two half-dead people be allowed to guard there?
?”
His meaning was obvious. He had already seen the Lanke chess game and watched it closely.
"Tell me how to enter the Lanke chess game and how to communicate with those people? Where is the scene you saw?"
The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly: "Even if I tell you, you can't find that place. The chess game is not in the world, and the players are not mortals. So someone has tried their best to search Dulong Bingzhu Temple, but nothing has been gained. You
Just remember that that is the realm of practitioners, and only those who have the destiny to become immortals can pass through the door to immortality."
I immediately asked: "According to your statement, you also passed the gate of immortality and had the opportunity to become an immortal, but you gave up, right?"
I have special interrogation skills. I am good at finding flaws in the other party's words and breaking through the other party's discourse logic. Therefore, this question hit the point directly and forced the other party to continue to answer.
"Although I have the chance to become an immortal, my mortal heart is still unfinished and I have always been concerned about my wife and children at home. Therefore, I failed to become an immortal. I can only stay here and dare not leave. Do you know? The half-glory and half-withered man told me,
As long as I leave the Snowy Mountains, I will be finished, just like a candle in the wind. Without the protection of the Snowy Mountains, a gust of wind will come and my life will be extinguished - although I am alive, I cannot leave the Snowy Mountains, just like Qin Chengpei,
It’s like I can’t leave the giant tree!”
In his excitement, he suddenly made a mistake and told the truth about Qin Chengpei.
This is of course not my imagination, but something he saw with his own eyes.
I suddenly felt extremely heavy.
The integration of Qin Chengpei and the giant tree was originally a plot in my fantasy, but now, in the words of a middle-aged man, it has become a reality.
Half-prosperous and half-withered is one of the realms that practitioners must pass through. Those first practitioners had complete bodies and even bones and flesh, which is equivalent to the "proud" phase.
When you are halfway through practice, you will be able to get rid of ordinary people's dietary troubles for half of your life, so you will be "half prosperous and half withered" from the inside to the outside.
When cultivation reaches the highest point, all mortal worries are eliminated, and the body is close to becoming an immortal, which is the complete "withered" phase.
Oriental people regard "dry landscape" as the most beautiful, which is also inspired by Buddhism and practice.
I suspect that the middle-aged people know too many secrets of the bad chess game, so they are trapped here and unable to escape.
His assassination of me may have been one of the conditions for freedom, but in the end he failed and had to accept the judgment of fate.
