Chapter 184 The Lost Wang Qiu

Nie Xiaochun looked at me and asked, "What did you think of?"

I turned around and ran back. "That Wang Qiu is Wangqing Laozu (Forget Love Ancestor). Hurry back and find him."

Xiang Kai and the others also seemed to have realized something, and they all flew back to the village.

Nie Xiaochun said as she ran, "How did you know that person was Wangqing Laozu?"

I quickly replied, "Bu Ting and Ying Gou were both subordinates of the Emperor. They weren't sure if the other party had definitely betrayed the Emperor."

"Or, they tested the other party with 'Zhu Ni' (Slay the Traitor), just like Hei Ye Xiao and Bu Youming. And the result was the same as with Hei Ye Xiao and them."

Nie Xiaochun nodded and said, "That's the key."

"Unless both of them betrayed the Emperor, they would have already fought to the death. There would be no need to build the Nine-Man Prison."

I continued, "Bu Ting built the Nine-Man Prison to imprison someone that he and Ying Gou both knew, but they couldn't be sure if he was a traitor."

"They didn't dare to deal with this person casually. They could only wait for the other members of the Eight Guards to come and discuss how to deal with him."

"He set up the Nine-Man Prison, in fact, to wait for the Eight Guards."

"The place where Bu Ting was really imprisoned can only be accessed by the zombies of the Right Four Guards. But Bu Ting's fake tomb can only be opened by the descendants of the Bu family."

"At the very least, no one but Bu Youming knew how to solve those stones at first."

"This means that the people who come to open the tomb must include both the Bu family and the Right Four Guards."

Nie Xiaochun realized what I meant and said, "You mean, Bu Ting was actually waiting for someone to open the Nine-Man Prison?"

"The living dead in Da Meng Xiang (Great Dream Village) are all trying to stop others from opening the Nine-Man Prison?"

"Yes!" I said as I ran. "Bu Ting opened the Underworld Sea and let the water tainted with Ying Gou's corpse gas flow out to attract the attention of the other Eight Guards."

"But Wangqing Laozu ran over and sealed off Da Meng Xiang."

"In this way, everyone will think that Da Meng Xiang is Wangqing Laozu's place of seclusion, and they won't come."

Qin Xin said, "Even if he wanted to live in seclusion, he wouldn't have to live in a place full of dead people, right?"

I shook my head and said, "There are many reclusive experts who live with the dead in the wilderness. Especially those who have been hurt by the world, they will feel that the dead are more reliable than the living."

"The name Wangqing Laozu might just be a cover, specifically used to conceal his identity."

Xia Xiaotian said at this time, "When you were talking to Wang Qiu just now, we specifically tested him. He wasn't lying!"

I quickly replied, "What if he made himself forget his past?"

"Self-inflicted spell?" Xia Xiaotian clenched his fist and said, "Damn it. We should have tortured him to death when we first caught him. It's all Xiang Kai's fault for being soft-hearted."

"My fault, my fault!" Xiang Kai was very accommodating and didn't feel that Xia Xiaotian had embarrassed him in public at all.

Qin Xin said, "No wonder Zhu Ziyan didn't ask Wang Qiu to cooperate when we met her. It turns out that Wang Qiu had also forgotten Zhu Ziyan."

Qin Xin's judgment should be correct. According to the timeline, when Xiang Kai and Bu Youming suddenly appeared in Da Meng Xiang, Wang Qiu should have been completely unprepared.

Xiang Kai and the others later focused on the corpse gas cave, and no one paid attention to the honest Wang Qiu.

It was at this time that Wang Qiu cast a spell on himself in the room where he was being held, erased part of his memory, and filled in other memories.

This is why we couldn't see that Wang Qiu was lying.

Because what he said was the truth in his "memory."

While we were talking, we rushed back to the village, but Wang Qiu was long gone.

Xia Xiaotian stomped his feet and said, "Damn it, he got away."

I was also so angry that I gritted my teeth. "Damn it, we lost him right under our noses. This is a big loss."

Before seeing Bu Ting's tomb, I always thought that Wangqing Laozu was just a link in Bu Ting's Nine-Man Prison. He was just sealed in a place where he could talk to the outside world.

I still thought so when I saw Bu Ting's tomb.

I thought the person hanging in the coffin was Bu Ting, and Wangqing Laozu was somewhere else.

It wasn't until Xiang Kai reminded me that I realized it wasn't like that at all. What if the person in the coffin hanging in the air was Wangqing Laozu?

Then how could Wang Qiu have said that more than twenty years ago, he wanted to stop my master from seeing Wangqing Laozu?

The people in the three villages below had already been killed by Hei Ye Xiao, so Wangqing Laozu could only be in the Fourth Secret Realm.

When we came up, there were only Xiang Kai and a few others in the Fourth Secret Realm. In other words, the original people had all been taken into the corpse gas cave by Xiang Kai and the others. The only one left was Wang Qiu.

If anyone else could be Wangqing Laozu, it could only be Wang Qiu.

But at that time, I didn't think about it at all. By the time I realized it, Wang Qiu had already disappeared.

Xiang Kai said angrily, "I'll go after him!"

"I'll chase him to the ends of the earth, and I'll have to bring him back and skin him alive. Damn it, I'm so pissed off."
