C572 Rumors
4After listening to Ninth Master Lu's question, Yan Fei tried to recall what had happened. He found out that these people were indeed like this. Everything they had heard was hearsay. They hadn't seen it with their own eyes, nor did they have any proof of it. No one had ever seen this Zhao Ke before.1
Under such circumstances, they were actually very familiar with this Zhao Ke's life performance. From this point of view, it was indeed a little suspicious. It was even a little exaggerated.
Seeing that Yan Fei didn't say anything, Ninth Master Lu had already guessed what Yan Fei was thinking. He continued to ask, "Then have you noticed that the people we are visiting have surprisingly the same evaluation of Zhao Ke? It was as if they had memorized it beforehand.
Yan Fei continued to recall and found that it was the same. Indeed, in the interview and investigation just now, the answer was surprisingly the same. Even the order did not change. It was as if they had memorized it beforehand. This was really puzzling.
Before Yan Fei could answer, Ninth Master Lu continued to ask Yan Fei, "Also, those who are willing to take the initiative to speak with us seem to like talking. They are also very willing to discuss this matter with the people in the city. It seems that they know very well about this Zhao Ke Alchemist. Have you noticed this?"
Yan Fei did notice this. He nodded to Ninth Master Lu and said, "That's right. It is true. Almost all the people we asked on the way here are like this. They even took the initiative to tell us about it. Could it be that there is something wrong with these people? Or did they collude with us?"
Ninth Master Lu smiled and said to Yan Fei, "This phenomenon is very simple. Among these people, some of them are the disciples of Zhao Ke. He deliberately sneaked into the crowd and used his free time to tell these people about Zhao Ke's life and deeds. This way, everyone has a concept of the whole thing."
Pausing for a moment, Ninth Master Lu continued, "Regarding this kind of thing, People have preconceived ideas. In this way, when people start to spread their opinions, The first people will doubt it, then in the crowd of people who doubt it, In this way, This would dispel their doubts and make many people's thoughts follow the crowd. In this way, even if it is fake, people will believe it. "
Yan Fei frowned and asked Ninth Master Lu, "Ninth Master, do you mean these people started spreading rumors in the city? This Alchemist called Zhao Ke doesn't have such ability?"
Ninth Master Lu shook his head and said to Yan Fei, "No, no. The people in the city were only part of the plan. According to this plan, I think they have already started spreading rumors in the martial world, attracting many rogue cultivators. They talked about a rumor as if it was true, and the area they spread was very wide. In that case, some people will believe it. "
"Although there are some people who don't believe it, as long as the people who believe it have benefited from it," Wang Yao said. " From a side view, it proves that the rumors are true, then it will make these people who believe the rumors believe it, and those who don't believe it will also choose to believe it. "
"Over time, this rumor will attract a lot of people. It is like a snowball that will soon make the news even stronger. In the end, people will start to believe such a rumor in the hearts of the crowd, and it will also make more and more people believe it. So, at this point, The wrong will also become right, and the false might become real. "
After listening to Ninth Master Lu's words, Yan Fei felt that it made sense. Although this matter sounded complicated, after experiencing it personally, Yan Fei really understood.
However, after hearing this, He frowned. He asked Ninth Master Lu, "Ninth Master, according to what you said, Fake can become real, and the wrong can become right. Doesn't that mean that the rogue cultivators in the city are hopeless? Even if they have lost their lives, "Ninth Master Lu said. Yes. "
After listening to Yan Fei's words, Ninth Master Lu sighed slightly. He said to Yan Fei, "That's right. This is also the result I don't want to see. If this is really the case, then we can only gather some of the most beneficial evidence to convince everyone. Let them know what's true. It's just that... This evidence must be absolutely convincing, otherwise... We may become the target of public criticism, and not only will we not be able to be their savior, A good deed will not end well. This is what I am most worried about. "
Yan Fei analyzed the situation carefully. He still felt confused, but he could not come up with any good results. He frowned and asked Ninth Master Lu, "Ninth Master, what should we do now? "Should we give up on these people?"
"No." Ninth Master Lu shook his head slightly and said to Yan Fei, "Let's go back and see what other people have learned. Gather all the information that we have gathered. Maybe we will find a way."
Yan Fei nodded and followed Ninth Master Lu out of the alley, heading towards the inn in the distance.
On the other side, Cheng Bo started to wander around the city gates of Lau City. His target was relatively small. Whether it was his clothes or his attire, he looked like a rogue cultivator in the world of martial arts. He wouldn't attract anyone's attention.
He came to the city gates and looked at the young men in white from afar. He couldn't help but frown. He couldn't help but think that if they wanted to prevent outsiders from entering, they should at least set up defenses outside the city. Why did they have to guard the city gates? From the looks of it, it seemed like they didn't want the people in the city to go out.
Moreover, there were heavy guards on the city wall. Within a few steps, there would be a white-clothed young man with a weapon in his hand. He did not look at the situation in the city during the day or night, as if he was monitoring everything in the city.
Moreover, at noon, there would be a change of shifts. This was clearly guarding the prisoners.
Cheng Bo took the opportunity to change shifts at noon. He came to the top of the wall without anyone noticing and observed the barrier above him. He found that the barrier was very thick and heavy in such a place. There's actually a barrier that's no less than a sect or a family setting up. This is really a big deal. From the looks of the materials, it was already not simple at all.
