Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world
Chapter 718 Hesitating
Liu Baoguo came up with an idea: "He put a table here and hid a rectangular magnet under the table. Does this mean that he will come back?" He went on to explain that if the other party had no intention of coming back, there was no need to leave the table and the magnet here. Wouldn't it be easier to just move them away?
Lin Beichen felt that what he said made sense. After all, it was troublesome to move such a large item around, and it would be even more troublesome to make a new table and paint it.
Therefore, the other party is likely to come back and continue to use this table to cheat.
Besides, if he put a table in every place to perform, he would soon be discovered. Then his trick would be exposed, and the rectangular magnet would be revealed. People would not be fooled again and might even be angry because of being deceived before and want to settle the score with him.
As everyone was chatting, Liu Baoguo suddenly pointed to a place and shouted, "Look, that's the fake monk!"
As soon as he saw the fake monk, his eyes were filled with anger and he wished he could kill the man with his eyes.
Lin Beichen and his friends reacted quickly and chased after the fake monk when they saw him. But the fake monk ran faster than a rabbit and disappeared in a few seconds.
It turned out that the fake monk had spent all the money he had cheated a few days ago, so he wanted to come back and cheat some more.
Just as he was calculating how much he could cheat, he saw the man who had never been fooled before, pointing at him and shouting, and then a group of people chased after him. He thought to himself that it was not good, and ran away, cursing: "You fat pig, you don't have money to give me, and you find someone to take revenge on me!"
He has been in this business for a long time and has been chased by others, so he runs very fast and no one can catch up with him.
Liu Baoguo ran two steps before he was out of breath and stopped: "This stinky monk runs really fast."
Lin Beichen said: "He might be very familiar with this village and use the terrain to hide from us, otherwise he wouldn't disappear so quickly."
When they were chasing him, the fake monk kept turning corners instead of running in a straight line.
Now everyone faces two choices: either wait here for him to come back by himself, or look for him in the village.
The village is not big, if he hides in the village, we will definitely find him. But if he sees that we are still looking for him and escapes to another place, we will not be able to find him.
Lin Beichen thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Zhou Dazhuang, Yang Yiyi, you two stay here and I'll go back and study the table."
He didn't plan to search in the village, because the terrain of the village was complicated and it would take too much time to search one place at a time. Moreover, the other party might hide back in the places we had already searched while we were looking for other places, and then we would be fooled by him.
Lin Beichen felt that there must be something fishy about the table, so he wanted to study it further.
Liu Baoguo said: "Let me study the table with you."
Lin Beichen glanced at him, a little suspicious.
Liu Baoguo quickly said, "Think about it, I have collected so many valuable antiques, which shows that I am quite good at this. Studying a table is not a problem for me."
So Lin Beichen and Liu Baoguo walked to the table together. They saw an old man sitting next to the table, looking at a magnet over and over again, so engrossed that he didn't notice them at all.
The old man kept the same movements and expression, and didn't react when they came.
Lin Beichen thought: "Who is this old man? This is the magnet we found, and he just sits here and looks at it. He doesn't even understand the principle of first come first served."
Liu Baoguo was obviously very dissatisfied with the old man's behavior and his brows were furrowed.
Lin Beichen felt that this old man was unusual. He whispered to Liu Baoguo, "Don't act rashly. This old man doesn't look simple. We'd better not offend him."
Although Liu Baoguo didn't quite understand why Lin Beichen said that, he had always admired Lin Beichen. Since Lin Beichen said so, he could only suppress his temper and keep silent.
After all, if he really got into trouble, he would be the one who suffered, and it was not certain whether Lin Beichen would be willing to help him at that time.
Lin Beichen walked up to the old man and started chatting with him: "Old man, why are you staring at this magnet?"
The old man revealed the secret: "This magnet should not be placed on the table. It should be placed under the table to deceive people, just like a magic trick."
Then he asked Lin Beichen if he was looking for someone.
Lin Beichen was shocked. He had put the magnet on the table after taking it down and had never taken care of it again. The old man could actually accurately tell them its purpose and even knew that they were looking for someone. This old man was indeed not simple.
At this time, Lin Beichen's live broadcast was still in progress, and the audience in the live broadcast room were talking about it.
"Lin Beichen, don't be fooled by this old man. He might be an accomplice of the fake monk."
"Some elderly people may seem kindhearted, but they are actually malicious and might resort to some shady tricks."
"I think this old man is a great man."
Lin Beichen had been paying attention to the comments in the live broadcast room. After seeing this comment, he became more cautious.
If the old man was really an accomplished person, then his purpose of appearing here must be not simple, and he knew exactly what they were doing, which was probably targeting him.
Without knowing the other party's identity, whether it was a friend or an enemy, Lin Beichen did not dare to let down his guard. After all, no one knew what he would do next.
Although the old man's eyes were fixed on the magnet, his peripheral vision was always paying attention to Lin Beichen's expression. Seeing Lin Beichen's serious face, he guessed that Lin Beichen was on guard against him.
If the old man really had ill intentions, he would have fought with Lin Beichen and the others the moment he saw them, instead of having a peaceful conversation like he is now.
Suddenly, the old man burst into laughter. Lin Beichen and Liu Baoguo looked at each other in confusion, not knowing why the old man suddenly laughed.
The two men became more cautious, and Liu Baoguo became more convinced of Lin Beichen's words that this old man was not an ordinary person.
Fortunately, Lin Beichen reminded him in advance not to act rashly, otherwise, with his violent temper, he would have said something to offend the old man.
Lin Beichen asked the old man: "Why are you laughing?"
The old man stopped laughing and said, "I know where the fake monk is. I can take you there, but you have to agree to one condition."
When Lin Beichen heard this, his heart moved. If the old man could tell him where the fake monk was hiding, that would be a good thing. But the old man also wanted him to agree to a condition, which made him hesitate. He didn't know what condition the old man would propose. If it was within his ability, he could consider agreeing; but if it was beyond his ability, he couldn't agree. At that time, they could only rely on themselves to find the fake monk like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Okay, what are the conditions?" Lin Beichen asked.
"The condition is that you must accept that fake monk as your disciple," said the old man.
When Lin Beichen heard this, he felt puzzled. Although he had disciples following him, he had never publicly said that he wanted to take in disciples. How could this old man see through it and let him take in a fake monk as his disciple?
"I'm sorry, I never accept disciples, so I can't agree to your conditions and accept this fake monk as my disciple." Lin Beichen refused.
The fake monk had done so many deceptive things, wouldn't it be a disgrace to his reputation to accept him as a disciple? So Lin Beichen simply lied and said that he didn't accept disciples.
"What? Do you still want to deceive me, an old man?" the old man laughed.
The old man revealed Lin Beichen's secret and said with a smile: "Don't think I don't know that you are recruiting disciples. This is your mission. I proposed this condition to help you and let you complete the mission quickly. I didn't expect that you would not appreciate it."
Lin Beichen was shocked after hearing this. He had never told anyone that he had a system or that the system would arrange tasks. How could this old man know such a secret when they met for the first time? Lin Beichen was full of curiosity about the old man's identity and decided to find out.
But he knew that he couldn't panic at this moment. If he showed surprise, it would be tantamount to acknowledging the old man's words. So, Lin Beichen pretended to be calm and didn't mention the system.
"Why, am I right?" the old man asked.
Lin Beichen had no choice but to admit: "Old man, you are really amazing. I am indeed accepting disciples."
Now that the lie has been exposed, there is no need for him to hide it any longer.
"Then do you plan to take him as your apprentice?" the old man asked, "As long as you agree, I can take you to find him now."
"Well, I have to think about it." Lin Beichen said, "After all, he has done a lot of bad things. I can't agree to it easily."
The old man expressed his understanding. After all, the fake monk had a long history of bad deeds and no one wanted to accept such a monk as a disciple.
"Okay, I'll take you to find him first." The old man stood up and Lin Beichen and Liu Baoguo followed behind.
They came to a thatched hut on the edge of the town and saw the fake monk boiling medicine.
Hearing the footsteps, the fake monk looked up and saw that it was Lin Beichen and the others. Especially when he saw Liu Baoguo, he subconsciously wanted to run. But after running two steps, he stopped again, thinking that running away was not a solution.
"You dare to appear in front of me, let me show you how I'm going to deal with you!" Seeing this, Liu Baoguo rolled up his sleeves and was about to take action.
He thought the fake monk came back to provoke him. He couldn't stand this kind of people the most and decided to teach him a lesson.
Unexpectedly, the fake monk suddenly knelt down in front of Liu Baoguo and took the initiative to admit his mistake: "I was wrong to lie to you before, please forgive me. I will never do bad things again, you can hit me as much as you want, and vent your anger on me."
The fake monk thought that it was better to admit his mistakes proactively than to be harassed by Liu Baoguo. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to do anything in the future.
When Liu Baoguo heard this, he was very pleased. He had long wanted to give this fake monk a good beating.
"Okay, that's what you said. No matter how I beat you up, it's all your own fault. Don't blame me." Liu Baoguo said as he was about to take action.
Lin Beichen had been observing the surroundings. He saw the fake monk wanted to run away at first, but suddenly turned back and knelt down to admit his mistake, and he felt that something was fishy.
When Liu Baoguo was about to touch the fake monk, Lin Beichen stopped him. He felt that the fake monk might not be as bad as Liu Baoguo said, and he must have his reasons for doing so.
"Why are you stopping me? As long as I teach him a good lesson and vent my anger, he won't have to hide from me anymore when he sees me next time." Liu Baoguo was quite dissatisfied with Lin Beichen's move to stop him. He thought that as long as he could teach the fake monk a lesson, everyone would be happy.
"When will the cycle of revenge end? I brought you here to find the fake monk, not to let you beat him up." Lin Beichen said in a firm tone.
"But what he did to me was really too much!" Liu Baoguo was indignant.
"Don't be impatient, let's see what happens first." Lin Beichen was firm and asked to find out the situation before making a decision. Although Liu Baoguo was dissatisfied, he could only resist the urge to help the fake monk. After all, he still needed Lin Beichen to help him solve the trap.
After saying that, Lin Beichen walked into the thatched house. There were four simple beds in the house, and on each bed lay a person with a painful expression.
When the fake monk saw Lin Beichen enter the room, he looked nervous and quickly followed him in.
"I am willing to take full responsibility for what I have done. I have no regrets if you want to kill me or chop me up. I just hope that Liu Baoguo will not hurt these people again. They have been hurt once and cannot be hurt a second time. Otherwise, I will fight him to the death!" The fake monk was very emotional and full of hatred for Liu Baoguo.
Lin Beichen felt strange and looked at Liu Baoguo. Liu Baoguo shrugged and said that he had no idea when he had hurt these people.
"Don't talk nonsense. When have I ever hurt them? Don't slander me. You dare to say anything to escape responsibility." Liu Baoguo retorted.
"Hmph, stop pretending. You know all the evil things you have done. It's not easy to distance yourself from it now." The fake monk refused to give in.
Lin Beichen felt that the fake monk's expression and emotions did not seem to be deceiving. After all, at this point, there was no need for him to deceive them. Otherwise, with so many people around him, any one of them could teach him a lesson, not to mention that it would also affect the people lying on the bed.
"You said that Liu Baoguo had hurt these people before. What's going on? Under what circumstances did he hurt them?" Lin Beichen asked the reason.
"Lin Beichen, why are you so confused? You believe everything he says? Don't be fooled by him. How could I hurt these people? I don't even know them! They are trying to scam me!" Liu Baoguo hurriedly explained. He had no impression at all and his normal work could not endanger these people.
Lin Beichen was questioning the fake monk, but Liu Baoguo kept interrupting, which made Lin Beichen very dissatisfied. He glared at Liu Baoguo, and Liu Baoguo immediately became obedient. He knew that if he made Lin Beichen unhappy again, Lin Beichen might not help him break the formation.
"Okay, tell me, what is going on?" Lin Beichen said to the fake monk.
"The thing is, Liu Baoguo has been doing yam business.
A few years ago, he bought various yams in the mountains. He heard from somewhere that there was a kind of poisonous iron flower in the mountains that was very valuable, so he spread the news and said he would buy it at a high price.
The villagers were very happy when they heard the news. Because the people in the mountains were poor and had no skills, it was difficult for them to find jobs down the mountain. So they went to find Tiehua regardless of their safety, hoping to sell it to Liu Baoguo for money. As a result, many people were poisoned by Tiehua and died.
The most abominable thing is that Liu Baoguo only paid one twentieth of the total price when he bought it, while he originally wanted to sell it at a higher price. (End of this chapter)
