Recalling what happened last night, Wu Fengyu was shocked and scared. He didn't know why he was suddenly attacked.
After being stunned for a moment, he quickly groped around his body and found that except for the night clothes, he had not lost anything, and there were no special scars.
He was extremely confused and panicked about what was going on. When he raised his head, he suddenly saw a familiar face looking at him with a frown.
Zhu Mingyuan and Wu Fengyu were alerted, this was the companion he wanted to silence last night.
Zhu Mingyuan had a solemn face and said with a half-smile: Old Wu, how come you were kicked out by your mother-in-law when you slept here
He drank too much last night and his coat was stolen by those stinky beggars. Wu Fengyu grinned and said, suddenly a terrible thought came to his heart. Could it be that what he experienced last night was a warning, warning him not to take advantage of Zhu Mingyuan's family
After having this idea, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. He couldn't help but look at Zhu Mingyuan with a more cautious look. He had the support of an expert behind him.
Zhu Mingyuan looked at the long knife that had not been lost next to Wu Fengyu, and sneered: It seems that the loss of the escort has made you very distressed, Lao Wu. I don’t know how to face Mr. You.
Alas, Wu Fengyu could only let out a long sigh, the meaning of which only he could understand.
When it was getting light, Meng Qi found a dilapidated temple to hang out, and then slept for a long time to recover from his mental fatigue and physical injuries.
It wasn't until noon that he Shi Shiran went out. With a sword across his waist, he randomly found a busy-looking restaurant and walked in slowly.
Little Master, you are right. Our vegetarian dishes at Jueshan Restaurant are the best in the city. As soon as we walked in, the waiter warmly welcomed us and introduced us in a crackling manner.
Amitabha, find a quiet place for the poor monk, and bring four more special vegetarian dishes. Meng Qi has no special love for vegetarian food, so he is not picky. He mainly goes out to listen to market news. It can be seen from the waiter's attitude that the monks here seem to directly abstain from eating meat and fish, so there is no need to attract attention when inquiring about news.
Okay, the waiter shouted in a long voice, one guest, four vegetarian dishes.
While shouting, he led Meng Qi to the corner, took off the white towel on his shoulders, and wiped the table again.
After Meng Qi sat down, he pretended to close his eyes and relax, and listened carefully to the conversations of people nearby.
Have you heard that Jin Ancheng from Tianxianglou is dead
Why is Yama's soul-chasing hand dead
Feeling the consternation of his companions and the concentrated attention of the people nearby, the person who spoke first said proudly: "Can this be fake? My brother-in-law is a police officer in the police station. He followed Mr. Fei to inspect Jin Ancheng's body last night."
Hearing this, Meng Qi was slightly confused. Fei Zhengqing wanted to conceal the cause of Jin Ancheng's death.
How can I not believe you? I'm just very sad. Jin Ancheng's nickname of Yama Soul Chaser was derived from human life, but he himself escaped death many times. He thought he could live in peace and live a wealthy life, but he still didn't. If you take one step forward, it will be repaid by God's will, and karma will repay you. A fat man dressed as a businessman said with a little joy.
There are very few people like them who can live forever
Hehe, there is a lot of trouble in Tianxiang Tower now, and the Jin brothers are not fuel-efficient lamps.
The drinkers and idlers around heard the news and started talking in low voices.
The fat man dressed as a businessman asked: Brother Cao, do you know how Jin Ancheng died
Bao Dating, who was called Brother Cao, coughed twice. Under the eager gazes, he slowly picked up the tea cup and took a sip. After putting on a show, he said: He was killed by Shen Monkey, one of the twelve beasts.
What twelve beasts
monkey
A series of frightened and stunned cries sounded out, as if the twelve beasts were evil ghosts seeking life and the source of nightmares.
Meng Qi curled his lips. It seemed that Fei Zhengqing was placing Jin Ancheng's death on himself to cover up the shadow that was suspected to be the remnant of the Snow God Palace. What was his purpose in doing this
After a while, the merchant calmed down and said: Brother Cao is really the monkey among the twelve beasts. Jin Ancheng is also a famous master in the five southern provinces. There are not many people who can kill him.
The previous records of the Twelve Beasts were mixed. Some were almost suspected of being masters, while others had never killed a master of Jin Ancheng's level. Shenhou belonged to the latter category, so everyone had doubts about the Twelve Beasts. , as long as they are not hasty and urgent, they will leave a mark, so that they can have the reputation of shocking people.
There was a monkey face left at the scene, and Jin Ancheng had his throat cut with a knife. Brother Cao told the details.
The reason why the throat was sealed with a knife was probably to cover up the sword wound in the throat. Meng Qi looked at the waiter with a smile as he brought the vegetarian food over. He raised his chopsticks to taste it. It was delicious. Well, eating vegetarian food occasionally can help cleanse the stomach.
After a gasp, whispers continued:
The Twelve Beasts are so terrifying. They even killed Lord Jinlou.
Yes, I’ve always heard that the Twelve Beasts are the weirdest, most mysterious and most terrifying organization in the world. I still don’t believe it. But after seeing it today, it’s well-deserved.
They dare to commit crimes in Tianding City, aren't they afraid of angering the Lord of the City
It is said that Chenlong Zishu may be the master, and the twelve beasts have nothing to fear.
Tsk, not to mention Chen Long Zi Shu, Shen Hou’s strength is probably not bad either. Jin Ancheng has always been among the top twenty masters in our Tianding City and in the five southern provinces. Shen Hou can kill him easily. , the strength is probably no less than that of Mr. Fei.
No matter what, we can't mess with him anyway.
During the exchange, their fear of the twelve beasts and Shen Monkey deepened several levels.
I don’t know why Shen Hou wanted to kill Jin Ancheng, the fat merchant asked curiously.
Brother Cao sneered and said: The Twelve Beasts will never reveal their missions, but Mr. Fei suspects that it is related to the previous case of Mr. Duan Mingcheng’s disappearance. Maybe there is some big secret hidden in this matter.
Everyone had different opinions on the case of Duan Mingcheng's disappearance, which did not give Meng Qi any inspiration, so he slowly tasted the vegetarian food, paid and left the restaurant, heading towards the water gate in the north of the city.
The information provided by Mr. Xianyin Duan Xiangfei also contained information about the remnants of the Snow God Palace. It seemed that he had secretly investigated it before.
The remnant of the Snow God Palace discovered by Duan Xiangfei is named Wu Cheng. He is the owner of a northern goods shop near Shuimen. He usually lives in seclusion, but he likes to associate with poor people such as trackers.
After passing the Jinshui Bridge, there is the most prosperous area of Tianding City. The street where Tianxiang Tower is located is located in it, but Meng Qi did not pass through there, but went around far away.
In the Nanbeitong grocery store, Meng Qi held a string of sandalwood beads, rubbed them carefully, smiled and said to the shopkeeper: This string of beads is pretty good, but I don’t know if there are any better ones.
The better shopkeeper looked Meng Qi up and down. He was wearing an ordinary monk's clothes. How nice could he afford it
Meng Qi took out a handful of broken silver from his body, and the shopkeeper suddenly smiled: It's better not to have any, let me invite the owner.
This is a method Duan Xiangfei has tried. Once the goods exceed a certain value, the shopkeeper cannot make a decision on his own. Wu Cheng will come out in person, and Meng Qi just follows the same example.
After a while, a man in his thirties who had ordinary facial features and stood out from everyone came out. He held a string of Buddhist beads with a big smile and handed them to Meng Qi: "Little Master, this is made of agarwood from the South China Sea. It has the function of calming and meditating." gas.
Meng Qi rubbed the beads, and felt the fragrance fragrant, strong but not cloying, making people feel peaceful and calm.
Yes, I didn’t expect that in addition to products from the North, your shop also has Buddhist beads from the South China Sea. Meng Qi asked as if casually.
Wu Cheng kept smiling: The north and the south are connected, so the north and the south must be connected. The young master is satisfied.
very satisfied. Meng Qi felt that it would be good for his practice, and he did not object to buying it. After looking Wu Cheng up and down, he said seriously: Donor, this poor monk sees that you are covered with dark clouds, and there will be trouble in the near future.
The smile on Wu Cheng's face disappeared immediately. He wanted to give the crow-mouthed monk in front of him a slap. Hey, he was a charlatan. If he believed it, he would definitely turn the prayer beads into the key to solving disasters.
He lowered his face and said: Wu has never believed in immortals and Buddhas. Please come back, little master.
Meng Qi didn't say much, and smiled so much that Wu Cheng turned around and left.
Under normal circumstances, if someone doesn't believe him, he will be scolded at least a few times. However, Wu Cheng deliberately kept a low profile, which made him appear suspicious. It would be inconvenient during the day and he would come back to explore at night.
After wandering on the street for a while, Meng Qi returned to the ruined temple where the orders were placed. Before he could get closer, he saw Zhang Zongxian pacing back and forth there.
Donor Zhang came up to see the poor monk Meng Qi if he had something to do.
Zhang Zongxian was startled and said: Master Zhending, City Lord Cui invites you to go to the mansion for a while.
Cui City Lord Meng Qi was slightly surprised, he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Zhang Zongxian said with a bitter look on his face: "Because Shen Hou appeared again and killed Master Jin Lou. Master, you have had a fight with him. Therefore, Mr. Fei, the master of Cui City, wants to ask you to ask and see if you can find any clues." .
Shen Hou appeared again. He had been stabbed by the poor monk. The injury was not serious. Meng Qi looked shocked. This was a reaction he had already considered.
Zhang Zongxian looked at Meng Qi with a slightly strange look: Master, I don’t think it’s the same. Even if that knife can’t kill Shen Hou, I’m afraid it can make him lie down for ten days and a half. Could it be that someone is pretending to be
Maybe Shenhou was also practicing Kung Fu, but the poor monk was unaware of it. Meng Qi said it in one sentence, then asked Zhang Zongxian, "Donor Zhang, can you tell City Master Cui in detail about the fight between the poor monk and Shen Hou"
If Zhang Zongxian told Cui Xu, Fei Zhengqing and others that he had outstanding swordsmanship, had martial arts similar to boy's skills, and had almost killed a Shen monkey, then Fei Zhengqing, an old gangster, would know with his toes what he had done yesterday. Late Shenhou is pretending to be himself.
Zhang Zongxian shook his head: This is the secret of the mage. I dare not speak nonsense, so I was too panicked at the time. I only saw the mage’s last knife slashing Shen Hou’s abdomen. Well, I and my wife did not reveal the treasure map. To the city lord, all he got was a copy.
Meng Qi took a deep look at Zhang Zongxian. Seeing his calm eyes, he sighed and said: "I will follow Donor Zhang to the City Lord's Mansion now."
For people like Gu Xiaosang, Zhang Zongxian and his wife would have died a hundred times because they had to prevent the secret from being leaked, but they couldn't do it. Anyway, the main mission has been taken over. As long as Duan Mingcheng's whereabouts are found, is there any Shen Hou? The identity is considered complete, so if Zhang Zongxian and his wife are accidentally leaked, it will be fine, but they will not be able to find opportunities to complete side tasks.
