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 old guy Wu Laogou had turned traitor and really wanted to take action against 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 in unison. If something happens to the dignified Master Gou, 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 energy from tense muscles. The moment he realized that the muzzle of the gun was pointing at him, Chen Ziyan was already ready to dodge and counterattack.
.
He might not be able to successfully dodge all the bullets at such a close range, but by 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 barrel.
"Xiaoyou 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 to explore these. After seeing the person clearly, he felt as if a huge burden had been lifted off him.
.
"There are some things over there that have delayed us for a while." Chen Ziyan walked to Wu Laogou, looked at the old man in confusion and asked, "Fifth Master, did something happen here?"
Because of the unexpected situation during the meeting, Chen Ziyan's attention has always been on Wu Laogou, so he saw Wu Laogou's behavior just now. It is for this reason that Chen Ziyan asked this question
.
It's such an obvious action that it's hard not to notice.
And more importantly, how could such an action appear on Wu Laogou, and how could Wu Laogou do it without concealment.
In Chen Ziyan's opinion, this was an unusual signal.
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 wallowing in the dead. What could possibly happen to him?
General gaffe?
Seeing this junior Chen Ziyan is like seeing a life-saving straw. No matter how you think about it, this is wrong.
But this also allowed Chen Ziyan to 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.
If he didn't ask, it would be hard for him to feel at ease.
"Something has indeed happened." 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 staff in the fortress.
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 just simple ones.
The most important thing is that those staff members don't seem to be on the same path as 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 the 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. This is not a scientific research site of the Administration.
, it’s not an exaggeration to say it’s a den of thieves.
"wrong!"
But then Chen Ziyan felt that something was wrong. After being surprised, he immediately realized that such remarks were somewhat illogical.
Although he has never been in contact with Wu Laogou before, he still knows something about this man's life and deeds. Coupled with the work style of his family members, it can be said that he can see the whole picture at a glance. This family can be called
He is a typical example of stress resistance. There is no reason why this man would be so overwhelmed by this!
Not to mention that among the old nine sects, when it comes to courage and insight, 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 ability to control his emotions has probably reached the state of perfection.
, nervousness may occur, but actions controlled by emotions should never be allowed.
When it comes to other people, it is indeed reasonable, but when it comes to Wu Laogou, it is completely unreasonable.
With this thought in his mind, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but cast his eyes on Wu Laogou's face. Although this man seemed calm, judging from the trembling corners of his eyebrows from time to time and the eyes that glanced around involuntarily, it was clear that he was not feeling well in his heart.
Completely regain your 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 switched.
"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, as that will most likely lead to great hidden dangers, and Chen Ziyan doesn't want to think of fixing the problem before it's too late.
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 think 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, and his deep eyes were full of thinking.
When Chen Ziyan saw this, he knew that Wu Laogou was out of 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 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 the burial place of Wu.
"Fifth Master, you're polite. This is all as it should be, but do you know what's going on?" Chen Ziyan waved his hand indifferently and asked immediately.
Now he wants to know even more how Wu Laogou, an old gangster, fell into the trap and what kind of trap he fell into.
They will have to stay here for a while. If they don't understand 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 sleeve dog in his arms. After seeing that the little guy looked lazy and showed no abnormality, he continued:
"But one thing is certain at present, that is, I will have problems, and it is not affected by illusions or other means."
Chen Ziyan saw the firmness in his tone when he said this, and thought of his previous actions, he 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 body.
Compared with the sleeve dog's attack power, this ability to deal with supernatural forces is the most valuable thing about this sleeve dog.
If it weren't 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 possible causes of this symptom, there are currently only three most likely causes.
The first is his own problem, but this does not apply to Wu Laogou. This person is not the kind of person who is weak-minded.
The second is supernatural power. For example, Chen Ziyan’s little fairy can make people fall into a lifelike illusion. Naturally, other creatures can also have the ability to guide emotions.
However, 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 any discomfort?"
In fact, Wu Laogou also suspected this. The reason why he asked this was just to see if Chen Ziyan felt 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's stay here is not as long as him, it is not too short and will 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 type of emotion-inducing drugs, even intestinal poisons might not be able to defeat him.
Maybe he did fall into the trap, but his bloodline could completely 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 of Xiling having the same ability, it is not surprising that Xiling has been passed down for thousands of years and is a bit under the radar.
Didn’t you see 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." As Wu Laogou spoke, his eyes occasionally glanced at the little fairy who was squatting quietly next to him.
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 take our time." 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 didn't say too much.
After Chen Ziyan told the little fairy a few words, he looked at Wu Laogou again and asked: "Fifth Master, let's continue talking about your discovery."
When the little fairy went to identify the drug addicts in the fantasy world, 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's not the same as Li Wu, there are still internal differences. He wants to see how many ghosts and monsters are coming to this small area!
