The winter sun was not warm at all, Meng Qi leaned against the tree trunk and watched the light falling into the forest.
Memories belonging to the past are always chaotic, like the invisible wind, which exists but cannot be captured. If you try to think about it, it will arouse boundless killing intent and anger, and then lose control, so Meng Qi has not thought about those things for a long time.
Taijing Xianyang is the capital of several dynasties, full of traffic, and has all the prosperity in this world.
As the literati said, people on the street can raise their sleeves to form a cloud, sweat, and even the ground can get wet. Dongxifang City is full of trade goods from the south to the north, from pearls from the South China Sea to wine from the Western Regions, Dawan Ma Liangchengjun, Jiangzuo silk Bazhou brocade, Huadiao wine Mengding tea, Yellow River carp and Luohan bamboo shoots... Together, the young girls in Miaojiang, the high-ranking guests in the north, are all laughing Yan Yan.
There are also the noble families who are clamoring in front and back, the ladies are playing horses and whips, the jewels and jade jewelry on their heads are shining in the sun, and their long black hair flutters freely in the spring breeze.
Both sides of the street are often crowded with men who want to see the beauty. They are rushing forward, and the restaurant owner is beaming with joy.
In the play, the inexhaustible Luoyang flowers and the inexhaustible Zhangtai Liu are sung.
In the teahouse, people talk about the old events of the previous dynasties and discuss the legends of the rivers and lakes.
... This scene after scene, Meng Qidu is vividly remembered.
But there is no himself in these memories, no matter how lively, he is a bystander.
In the thirty-ninth year of the state of the Chu Dynasty, once the world was stable and the four seas were peaceful, it was like the image of a prosperous age.
Even in the most prosperous period of the Chu Dynasty, the national teacher Meng Qi did not leave much records. This name is more like a shadow, occupying an inconspicuous position among the fourteen founding heroes, and has never appeared alone. Later, he won the title of a national teacher with no rank, no honors, and no rank, and he didn't have to go to court, so the traces of his existence became thinner and thinner.
So that Meng Qi now wants to know his own affairs, but he has no way to start.
There are often scholars who claim to have read the history of the scriptures. For example, when the fourteen important officials of Qingyun Pavilion in the Chu Dynasty were cited, only thirteen could be mentioned. , I don't know if his name is Qi or Wei.
Fortunately, Meng Qi is not too obsessed with pursuing his past, he is more concerned about his illness.
It has been fifteen years since the fall of the Chu Dynasty, and as time goes by, fewer and fewer people know the national teacher Meng Qi.
If the Qi Dynasty used the Spring and Autumn Brushwork when compiling history books, the name of Meng Qi might be completely erased.
Meng Qi didn't care about these future events. When his illness didn't break out, his whole person was lazy. There was nothing worthy of his concern, and no one could let him take a second look.
Just like to be in a daze.
Often do not know what is going on, the sky is dark.
Today was different. Meng Qi felt someone approaching him in a trance, and he quickly woke up.
"doctor?"
Meng Qi moved to the side and gave Mo Carp the position where he could bask in the sun.
Anyway, the trunk is thick, there is absolutely no problem with two people.
Ink carp: "… "
He didn't take a fancy to Meng Qi's position, not at all! Could it be that he is the kind of doctor who occupies the patient's resting position
"It's rare to see a sunny day." Meng Qi narrowed his eyes and sighed as he looked at the sun.
Doctor Mo thought to himself, the sun is not warm, why don't you find a corner sheltered from the wind to squat! If it wasn't for internal strength, and the wind was blowing, it is estimated that when he went back, he would have to boil ginger soup and drink medicine.
However, the patient suffers from martial arts, and has the capital and self-willedness, what else can the doctor say
"How are you thinking?" Mo Li looked at Meng Qi, he had a guess, and it was time to verify it.
"What... ah, you mean I might be a monster?" Meng Qi laughed suddenly, "Doctor, when I first heard it, I thought it made sense. Monsters don't get old, and I don't remember the past, it seems Piaoping without roots, alone, without relatives or reasons. Maybe it is really a monster on the mountain, because he saw the troubled times and wanted peace in the world, so he ran to assist Li Yuanze, who had the most destiny."
At that time, the world was in great turmoil, and the official governance of the Chen Dynasty was corrupted.
What's wrong with the monsters? People can make lords and generals, but monsters can't
"If this is a storybook, it will be very exciting. This monster neither confuses scholars nor eats passers-by, but runs to conquer the world. It's very ambitious! It's very similar to my character!" Meng Qi didn't have any found him bragging.
Doctor Mo's teeth were aching, and he endured it silently.
"Unfortunately, this is not a storybook." Meng Qi sighed deeply, "The heroes in the storybook have endless money to spend, and the civil servants and generals in the storybook are all wealthy and wealthy heirs. , is not realistic at all. No matter whether you are a person or a demon, you will not be able to get out of this rolling red dust unless you fall to the ground and break your blood."
"... the national teacher is this enlightened?"
Mo Li listened to Meng Qi's words that the taste was wrong. He was testing the true identity of the other party, not to let the other party see through the red dust.
Meng Qi shook his head and said, "The doctor is joking, I just feel it."
"You're just joking, in fact, you don't believe that you are a demon." Mo Li exposed Meng Qi's mind.
Meng Qi was very curious when he heard the words, and thought to himself, could this be the doctor's therapy? But how can a person be a demon
However, out of respect for Mo Li, Meng Qi said seriously: "I heard that monsters can do magic, ever-changing, sometimes male or female, old or young, bewitching others. You can turn a stone into gold, sprinkle beans into a soldier, even if Even in the wilderness, I can cast a spell to turn a beautiful house into a fertile land, if I have these magical powers, do I still need to rob General Liu?"
Doctor Mo thought to himself, what magical powers, let alone monsters, not even dragon veins!
"You raised elixir, and the house that was destroyed later was in Taijing?"
Mentioning this matter, Meng Qi's expression changed slightly, and he said coldly, "In the mountains outside Taijing."
When Mo Li heard the word "mountain", his guess became more certain. He tentatively asked, "How did you keep the pet you kept? Is it locked in a bamboo cage?"
Meng Qi immediately frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Why should I lock it up, my pet is very well-behaved."
Mo Li decided to remind him that Meng Qi could no longer be blinded by the gerbil.
"...Gerbils like to dig holes the most, and you still keep elixir at home. How did you make them coexist?"
Meng Qi was stunned, as if he had never thought about it, he covered his forehead and said nothing for a long time.
Mo Li didn't know who Meng Qi was, but Taijing had a dragon vein and liked to become a fat rat. Meng Qi thought he was planting elixir to raise gerbils, maybe the truth was that Taijing Longmai raised elixir and Meng Qi
If so, things get complicated.
According to Taijing Longmai's criminal record that he wanted to abduct him and go to Taijing as soon as they met, Mo Li suspected that Meng Qi was also a dragon.
Sure enough, as soon as I left the house, I found a similar-
"If you can't remember, don't embarrass yourself, let's talk about something else, have you ever dreamed?" Dr. Mo earnestly asked patients who were suspected of being the same.
The topic changed too quickly, Meng Qi was a little at a loss: "Dream?"
"Have you ever dreamed that you were running freely in the water... in the mountains?" Mo Li almost revealed his bottom line, and he changed his sentence calmly.
The dragon vein is in the shape of a mountain, and it will definitely appear in the mountain.
Meng Qi looked at Mo Li heavily, and it took a long time to say, "Doctor, we ran four hundred miles last night, which is a very unforgettable memory. I think I will see it in my dreams in the future."
"... The appearance of a person doesn't count, I mean the dream of becoming a bird and a beast."
"No." Meng Qi didn't understand, why the doctor couldn't get past the hurdle of monsters!
Mo Li was a little disappointed, but he was not depressed. It was not easy to meet a person who was suspected of being a dragon vein, and it was a long time coming.
"Okay, let's go to town now." Mo Li picked up his luggage and looked like he was about to leave the ancient forest.
"Qinghu Town?" Meng Qi naturally followed.
Mo Li looked back at him, and said weakly, "Brother Meng, since last night, we haven't eaten any rice, and we haven't touched a drop of water... Oh, you don't count, you drank two mouthfuls of lake water. Close your eyes, you don't love your body like this, and you still want to heal?"
Meng Qi was stunned, and quickly nodded to be taught.
As he walked, he insisted on explaining to Mo Li: "I just forgot about it, shouldn't the doctor suspect that I am a demon because of this?"
"No, I think demons are just like humans. Those who need to eat and rest, and those who can live by eating and drinking dew, are immortals." Mo Li said casually, "And there are no immortals in this world."
Meng Qi said with a smile: "The doctor is really interesting. I believe that there are monsters in this world, but I don't believe that there are gods?"
The ink carp didn't answer.
They soon arrived at Qinghu Town. Originally, they just wanted to go to the warehouse managed by the Holy Lotus Altar to find something to eat, and then find a sheltered house to sleep in. As a result, the town was filled with a bloody smell.
And half an hour ago, a group of Jianghu people armed with swords broke into the town.
They came abruptly and directly confronted the congregation of the holy lotus altar.
The people of Qinghu Town are very vicious in the face of ordinary passers-by, but when they see these Jianghu people with knives and guns, they shrank and hid in the alley to probe their brains.
"Some people say that you are here to deceive the people and kill the merchants in the town."
A young man with a long sword came out. He was well-dressed, and his face was righteous.
"Swallowing merchants' properties, killing dozens of people, you should pay your debts in blood at the Holy Lotus Altar!" The young man waved his hand, and the Jianghu people behind him immediately launched a shivering servant.
"Tell me, did the holy lotus altar instigate the people here to kill your boss?" The young man patted the servant's shoulder and asked.
The little servant's face was pale, and he could not wait to escape from here immediately. Facing the vicious eyes of the Holy Lotus altar sect and the persecuting eyes of the people who brought him here, he only dared to nod his head.
"Very good." The young man shook his long sword and ran towards the chest of a disciple of the Holy Lotus Altar.
The sect members were caught off guard, screamed in agony, and blood gushed like a spring.
The sword in the young man's hand was very sharp, and he cut off the head of the congregation with his backhand, stretched out his foot, raised the head in his hand, and said loudly: "This is the end of the demon!"
As a result, the shocking effect was not received. All the followers of the Holy Lotus Altar were enraged, and even the townspeople who were hiding in the dark were furious. Fragrance Lord.
"Kill all the lackeys of the government!"
"... Those cunning villains who exploited the villagers and sold goods at high prices, dare to find someone to take revenge? Kill them!"
The townspeople rushed up, smashing and beating like crazy, and even the old woman took off her shoes and threw it here.
The young man didn't expect this, and hurriedly waved his sword to block, and the people behind him were also busy defending.
The little servant was left alone. He lay on the ground and crawled out in fear. He was trampled several times in the middle, and he was so painful that he was sweating and didn't dare to stop.
Rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs...
The young man became impatient and said angrily, "Don't worry about it, kill it first!"
His swordsmanship is not bad, and when he spreads it, the person he hits is either killed or injured.
Seeing that he was about to kill him in a bloody way, the young man suddenly heard a sneer, and the arm following him seemed to be clamped by iron clamps, and the pain was too painful to lift.
The incense master picked up the young man and threw it aside, hitting half of the wall.
The young man spat out a mouthful of blood, struggling to stand up.
"court death!"
Seeing that the others were about to run away, the incense master shot and broke the arms of several people. Coupled with the chaos of the townspeople, he killed two of them, and the rest were bruised and dying.
"take away!"
When Meng Qi and Mo Li returned to Qinghu Town, all they saw was bloodstains all over the place.
