Chapter 286 The Green Emperor Destroys Changsheng
Looking at Jiang Hengchuan's back, Meng Qi's eyes were dim and unclear. Finally, he shook his head and smiled, walked down the Hero Building and went straight to Huang Tingguan.
Now that I have been confirmed as not a chess piece on the chessboard, I can freely visit the young masters and ask for the reasons. I don’t need to reveal my identity as a spy, but I want to see what the mastermind behind the scenes can do.
In Go, this is called trying your hand.
Huangtingguan, located in the east of the city, bathes in the morning light and the cold moon, making it clear and elegant.
Qingyu lived in the guest courtyard. When Meng Qi opened the door under the guidance of the Taoist priest Zhike, he happened to see him with his back turned to him, worshiping the Emperor of Heaven and doing his afternoon class.
He was wearing a green Taoist robe and a purple crown on his head, and his movements were meticulous. He was not like a young man, but like an elder who had half his body buried by the years. He also showed concentration.
Meng Qi had the experience of viewing the old man's statue in the early morning. His body and mind were calm and he did not disturb him. He sat on the stone chair and waited for Qingyu.
After a long time, Qingyu finished his lunch class, turned around slowly, walked towards Meng Qi with "Yi Yue" in his hand, with an unexplainable smile on his face: "There was a big show last night."
"A big drama?" Meng Qi asked subconsciously, and he immediately understood what he meant. It seemed like a clichéd conspiracy drama full of loopholes and weirdness.
Qingyu put away his smile and sat upright: "Benefactor Su, what's the purpose of coming here?"
"I would like to know why brother Taoist came to Maoling." Meng Qi said straightforwardly without any concealment.
Qingyu raised his eyebrows, pursed his thin lips, and laughed: "So you're not."
"I'm not." Meng Qi said without any shame.
Qingyu did not answer directly, but stroked the star blade of "Yiyue": "Since you are not, why should Pindao tell you?"
"Because it has something to do with the trap I stepped into last night." The corner of Meng Qi's mouth twitched.
Qingyu still didn't answer, and looked at Meng Qi with a look like I won't speak until you come up with valuable information.
Meng Qi paused: "'Shocking Baili' came here because of chance and his family was involved, 'Counting the Common People' came here because someone was competing with him, well, every young master who came to Maoling was used as a pawn. ”
Qingyu's hand touching the "years" tightened, his face changed slightly, and then became cold: "Someone told Pindao that there are ruins in Maoling, and there will be many young masters, including several people in the top ten, Pindao can Let’s discuss with them as much as possible, so Pindao is here.”
"Are you here for a discussion?" Meng Qi thought of what Qingyu said above the hero, and he believed this reason.
Qingyu's face showed a trace of enthusiasm: "Yes, I will become a hero in the world."
"I wonder who told you?" Meng Qi pointed to the core.
Qingyu shook his head: "I don't know, someone sent a letter to Pindao. Maoling is the hub of the river and there are many masters. A sneaky villain can't make a big fuss, and he certainly can't harm Pindao, so he is very quiet and thoughtful. , came to Maoling to investigate, and the results were consistent with the content of the letter, but unexpectedly, they were used as pawns by others..."
He gritted his teeth a little when he said the last half of the sentence.
"Actually, it's very easy to break the situation." Meng Qi smiled.
Qingyu relaxed his hand holding the knife: "I would like to hear the details."
"As long as Taoist brothers leave Maoling and return to their respective families, no matter what the layout or conspiracy is, it will all come to nothing." When he said this, Meng Qi suddenly felt as if he was persuading the children who had run away from home to return to their parents. The feeling of hugging.
Qingyu snorted: "Is Pindao as cowardly as a mouse? Since someone dares to use Pindao as a chess piece, then Pindao will overturn their chessboard and test their abilities!"
"And the more this happens, the more promising the young masters will be. If you don't know how to deal with them, how can I be willing to leave?"
Seeing that Qingyu's attitude was very firm, Meng Qi was speechless and could only say: "If you find any clues in the future, please let me know."
Qingyu held the hilt of the "years" knife, put away his pride, stubbornness and gnashing of teeth, and Gujing Wubo said authentically: "You have to prove that Pindao's clues will not be trusted to others. If you go to all the trouble to tell them, You heard the news, but you just died in a dark corner. Isn’t it a waste of my efforts? "
After understanding the meaning of Qing Yu's words, Meng Qi raised his hand and said, "Please give me some advice, Brother Tao."
Qingyu did not draw the sword immediately, but looked into Meng Qi's eyes and said word by word: "The sword technique practiced by Pindao is the 'Five Directions and Five Emperors Sword' recorded in the Jade Book of the Emperor of Heaven. There are five styles in total. There are thousands of evolutions.”
While speaking, his aura gradually increased, he looked noble and majestic, looking down at the people, the surrounding void swayed slightly, as if he was worshiping the Lord.
In ancient times, there were the Qing Emperor, the East Prince, the Gold Emperor, the Queen Mother of the West, the Black Emperor, Zhenwu, and the Fire Emperor, Phoenix Xi. They were both known in the world, and together with the Central Heavenly Emperor, they formed the "Five Directions and Five Emperors". However, they were all inferior to the Heavenly Emperor, so the Qing Dynasty There is a saying that the Emperor of Heaven suppressed the ancients.
Among them, Fire Emperor Feng Xi is the Demon Saint. He waited until the heaven fell into dust, the Nine Heavens disappeared, the Heavenly Emperor fell, and the other three emperors either disappeared or passed away, then they reached their peak and the demons caused chaos on the earth.
The Qi and the machine are competing, the spirit is fighting, and Meng Qi's momentum changes accordingly. It complements and harmonizes with the stone tables and stone benches, the grass and trees, the smoke from the Huangting Temple, and the sparrows flying in the sky. He is covered in red dust. And not in this world: "The sword technique I practice is the 'Ananda Pojie Sword'. The world of mortals is rolling, and the consequences of cause and effect are immortal and mortal."
The only one he could openly name was "Ananda's Sword Technique of Breaking the Precepts", and at this time, he also used the mental method of this sword technique, letting his spirit go out and half-integrating into the environment.
At the same time, Meng Qi used the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique to deliberately change the reaction of the outer muscles and the flow of Qi on the body surface. He could not sense Qingyu's state and could not allow him to spy on it easily.
Qingyu slowly pulled out the "years", his movements were clumsy, showing a strange caution, as if he was afraid of disturbing the time, leaving mottled and full of charm.
A flick of the knife's light suddenly shines, and the dead die like a tiger!
Pulled by Qi, Meng Qi also stretched out his hand to reach for the handle of the knife. His movements were very fast, as if he were hallucinating. Just when Qingyu had the idea of drawing the knife, he saw a silver-white electric light leaping out.
Life is quick, and death is quick. Life is just a fleeting moment. In a moment, endless youth is born, and a lifetime of brilliance is achieved. This is the true joy of the world of mortals.
Meng Qi's state of mind changed, and he was able to draw the knife so quickly, allowing countless movements to occur in an instant, and leave a mark that will last for years.
Of course, this also comes from the mutual stimulation of the momentum of both sides. Under the pull of Qi, they have both climbed to peaks that were difficult to reach in the past.
That's why there are so many strong men looking for equally matched opponents. Beauty is easy to come by, but good enemies are hard to find. Without "you", how can I touch God's will if I wield the sword alone?
Qingyu's movements were extremely slow and the charm was long, while his voice was ethereal, as if falling from the sky:
"This sword is 'Qingdi Destroys Immortality'."
As soon as he finished speaking, "years" fell from the sky like lightning.
The trajectory of this knife is mysterious and cannot be described in words. There is no sound of wind, the strength of the knife seems to disappear, and the surrounding airflow has not changed, but Meng Qi feels that the vitality is disappearing and is being thrown into the "years".
The vitality of the fallen leaves disappeared, the vitality of the stone table disappeared, and my own vitality disappeared too!
If life is cut off, what's the difference between hiding and not hiding?
The silver-white electric light suddenly brightened, and the wild snakes danced wildly, flickering uncertainly, like ghosts haunting people's hearts.
The light of the sword is misty, as if greedy and detached.
Qingyu's eyes froze, his face was filled with enthusiasm, and the years slowed down.
That’s the reprieve! "Heaven's Wound" shot out with electricity, cutting into the sword force of "Qing Emperor Destroying Immortality", and grasped a little chance of life!
when! The two swords clashed, and the sound was clear and clear, like the sound of bells.
"Good sword skills!" Qingyu sheathed the sword and praised impartially, his face full of excitement for the fight.
"'The Green Emperor Destroys Immortality' has almost no flaws, but the person holding the sword is not the Green Emperor, and he has a heart of mortals." Meng Qi praised in this way.
He was overjoyed to experience a magical sword skill again, and he couldn't wait to go back and study it carefully to enhance his accumulation of sword skills and perfect the essence of sword art.
"Keeping the precepts and breaking the precepts, having one mind and two sides, it is indeed a masterpiece at the pinnacle of the sword." Qingyu paused and said, "After receiving the letter, Pindao once mobilized the resources of the sect to find the person behind the scenes. The harvest was not big, but Traces of two lost techniques were discovered.”
"What technique?" Meng Qi was refreshed. It seemed that Qingyu was not as arrogant as he appeared, and he came here after investigation.
Qingyu smiled: "Others don't know it, but our sect is the lineage of the Emperor of Heaven. How could they not recognize that one is Lord Huode Xing's 'Nine Fire Luotian Jue', and the other is 'Wenqu Xingjun's' Gui "Hide the merits of all things."
"The lost Heavenly Cultivation Technique..." Meng Qi thought of many things and could not be sure which force it was. Gu Yaonv was possible, and the "Mythical" organization with the name "Ancient God" was also possible.
Qingyu patted "years", his sleeves and robes were fluttering, and his expression was happy:
"That's the end of today's discussion. Next time we meet again, the poor Taoist will develop the 'Fire Emperor Burns the Universe'."
"Good." Meng Qi was so happy.
The two of them were fighting each other with swordsmanship on location, and they were concerned about the people behind the scenes, so they didn't continue to waste each other's energy.
…………
After leaving Huangtingguan, Meng Qi immediately increased his vigilance. If he committed a crime, how would the people behind the scenes respond?
The other young masters have not yet surfaced, and I don't know who else is there, so I can only temporarily stop playing and wait for changes.
Returning to the yard where he rented, Meng Qi saw that the coffin had been taken away by Jiang Hengchuan and the yard was empty, so he got rid of distracting thoughts and began to practice the Golden Bell Jar and the Eight-nine Mysterious Techniques. This is the foundation and cannot be forgotten for a moment.
Boom, boom, boom.
At dusk, a knock on the door startled the birds and made Meng Qi wake up from his practice.
Before opening the door, he could already sense the identity of the person from his breath, movements, etc. It was "Shocking Baili" Jiang Hengchuan.
"Any clues?" Meng Qi opened the courtyard door with a creak.
Jiang Hengchuan's face turned slightly gloomy: "No, the wood carving has obvious features, so we found a craftsman, but people came and went in a day, many people bought wood carvings, and the wood carvings themselves were similar. How could he remember who bought this wood carving? I used some means to confirm that he didn't lie or hide anything, and the note left no clue at all. "
The so-called characteristics of wood carvings obviously refer to those made by hand. Different craftsmen have different styles and characteristics. It is not difficult to distinguish them if you find someone who knows the goods. The similarity of the wood carvings itself refers to the same type of wood carvings by the same craftsman, although they are not exactly the same. level, but he himself would definitely not be able to tell which wood sculpture this wood carving was on sale at that time, unless it was particularly perfect or defective, and it was impossible for the person behind the scenes to buy a special wood carving with high resolution.
"I'll study the wood carvings, notes, and paper balls again." Meng Qi frowned slightly, "By the way, which craftsman is it?"
"Artisan Li from Huanghua Lane makes his own food and sells it on the street." Jiang Hengchuan returned these three things to Meng Qi and left first, planning to investigate other clues from Tingfeng Xiaozhu.
Meng Qi first looked at the note written with "Crazy Sword" Su Meng and found that the ink on the edge of the note was slightly blurred, as if the person who wrote it had touched it.
Then he picked up the wood carving and went straight out.
If others can't ask, you may not be able to tell!
