The sky was getting darker and darker. When Meng Qi entered the temple and Zen courtyard, he saw a mess inside with footprints everywhere.
Master Zhending, you are back. Ning Daogu and others sat around the stone table and stood up to greet them in surprise.
Meng Qi had changed back into his gray monk robe and said with a smile: Amitabha, thank you for the hard work of the four donors today.
Without asking, he could guess from the situation in the courtyard that people would come to challenge him in the past two days, but they were all blocked by Ning Dao, Gu Le Shishi and others.
Where, it’s just a little effort. The four of them answered in unison.
Meng Qi smiled and said, "Buddhists believe in the theory of cause and effect. If a poor monk is invited to watch the battle between the masters in the future, the four benefactors will be grudged to be the poor monk's followers."
The two girls, Zhenle Shishi and Nie Yao, were surprised. If they could watch the Grandmaster's battle, even if they didn't gain much, they would be able to brag about it for many years.
Ning Daogu and Ji Xin came to their senses quickly and saluted respectfully: Thank you Master.
Meng Qi nodded lightly and entered his meditation room. He heard Si Xiao lowering his voice and chirping excitedly.
Alas, why didn't I have such a prosperous life in the world? Meng Qi sighed in a pretentious manner, then sat cross-legged on the futon, carefully sorting out the things he had encountered in the past few days and the clues he had discovered.
Although he knew that the most critical thing at this time was to monitor You Hongbo and wait for another Xiangshen to fall into the trap, he was not in a hurry, because after Shen Hou stole the Buddha, the entire You Mansion was on very alert, and You Hong Bo also began to live in seclusion, often following You Tongguang to avoid accidents. Therefore, Meng Qi believed that if they were not prepared in advance, unless Chenlong took action personally, they would not be able to capture You Hongbo for a while.
Moreover, Meng Qi thought to himself that if it were him, the best time to capture You Hongbo would be tomorrow night. When Shen Hou steals the Buddha and attracts all the attention, he can capture You Hongbo without anyone noticing.
Of course, this is only Meng Qi's own judgment and will not be imposed on other Xiangshen. Who knows what they think. Therefore, starting from tonight, You Hongbo must be monitored until the Xiangshen appears or finally critical moment.
The black shadow that night, according to Han Shi, may be a master who has practiced the Dafa of Apparition, or he may be a master who has condensed the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows and opened the secret of the secret. The first chapter of the Dafa of Apparition can confirm this Qigong is indeed a technique for cultivating the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows, so Han Shi did not lie about this, unless he knew another technique for cultivating the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows. With his strength, this possibility is almost non-existent.
Meng Qi began to think about which truths could be believed and which lies needed to be considered. If he had not lied, then why did Fei Zhengqing not mention a word at that time and only talked about the possibility of the Apparition Dafa, unless he did not know about it? The role of Jingzhi is hidden, but this may be very low. He is Cui Xu's confidant.
In other words, Fei Zhengqing was deliberately concealing the possibility of a master who had opened the Mystery of the Essence. However, there was only one person who could have opened the Mystery of the Essence that was worthy of his concealment.
Meng Qi squinted his eyes and looked at the white paper on the window, Cui Xu's name echoing in his heart.
Hereditary city lord, genius swordsman, and righteous master, this is the aura around Cui Xu. Whether it is power, wealth, or martial arts, he has almost reached the limit that normal people can achieve.
Meng Qi also knew a lot about him, such as his childhood sweetheart, his wife who lost his wife in middle age, his children, his many adopted brothers, his lack of involvement in the past five years, and the fact that Tianding City affairs were all handed over to his son Cui Jinhua.
Moreover, at that time, the shadow only killed Jin Ancheng and silenced him, but ignored Fei Zhengqing, who had no resistance and knew more. The long sword can also penetrate my golden bell. However, Cui Xu's power and wealth A man who is not lacking in martial arts, why is it necessary to deal with Duan Mingcheng and make him fall out with Duan Xiangfei
If it weren't for Duan Mingcheng who he and his men captured, Meng Qi really wouldn't have thought that he would have any motivation to kill Jin Ancheng, so he would just use all his strength to kill himself, Shenhou.
Could it be that Cui Xuxue had this for the treasure of Snow God Palace? Or maybe he wanted the magical secrets and cultivation experience inside, so he took a step forward to open the three major secrets and break through the boundaries between humans and gods.
Meng Qi thought about the motive of the crime and reluctantly felt that Cui Xu had this possibility.
Perhaps he learned about the treasure of Snow God Palace from You Tongguang, so he followed Duan Mingcheng, who had a treasure map and was trying to contact Snow God Palace, and took advantage of the opportunity of their meeting to catch them all.
Regardless of whether the motive was sufficient, the more Meng Qi thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.
Duan Mingcheng's treasure map should be in Cui Xu's hands now. If the Venerable Snow God Palace cannot withstand the torture, he will probably reveal their treasure map. Zhang Zongxian and his wife are being hunted by the Twelve Phase Gods, and the treasure map is given to Cui Jinxiu must have fallen into Cui Xu's hands. If nothing else happens, You Tongguang's share will definitely be dedicated to Cui Xu. He may have collected four treasure maps. After careful analysis, Meng Qi slightly understood A little scared.
But he still has many questions, such as why Fei Zhengqing left the tunnel in the middle of the night, why Cui Xu, the lord of the city, happened to be at the scene. The most puzzling point is who was the Snow God Palace Hanshi and others... silenced
The person who killed them was also good at using swords and was respected by them. He seemed to be a high-ranking person in Snow God Palace, unlike Cui Xu, so why did he need to kill his own subordinates
If he borrowed the words of Han Shi and others to transfer the suspect to Cui Xu, he could just move him away afterwards. Why kill someone
Moreover, this person seems to know my whereabouts very well, and he waited until I actually left before taking action. The person who can keep hanging on me without being discovered by me is the contemporary Lord of Snow God Palace, Meng Qi. Meng Qi was startled and a little scared. Then he What is the purpose of uncovering Cui Xu’s secret and forcing him to hand over the treasure map? But why should he be silenced
After thinking about some things and confusing some things, Meng Qi slowly clarified his thoughts. No matter what, the main task was important. Cui Xu must be targeted first, and You Tongguang was the breakthrough point.
Wu Fengyu walked furtively through the alleys. Only in the dark night did he feel a little sense of security.
After the murder attempt failed, he was always worried that the other party would inform him and provoke the third master's crazy revenge, so he found an excuse and hid temporarily.
Who is the master behind him? Why did he just warn me instead of simply killing me to silence me? In the past few days, this question has been lingering in Wu Fengyu's heart, making him unable to eat or sleep.
Snap, a sharp pain hit from the back of his head, and Wu Fengyu fainted with anger and annoyance.
Come again
This was his last thought before he passed out.
In the shadow of the roof near You Mansion, Meng Qi continued to monitor the movements inside, but this time, his attention was not on You Tongguang, but on You Hong in the east wing, turning off the lights and going to bed as usual.
Just when Meng Qi thought it was another silent night, a man dressed as an escort hurried into You Hongbo's yard under the guidance of a servant.
They were far away, and Meng Qi couldn't hear what they were talking about. He only saw You Hongbo raising his hands in excitement, then picking up the sword and going out with the escort.
If you go out in the middle of the night under dangerous circumstances, there must be a ghost, either the conspiracy of the Prime Minister or the secret of You Mansion. Meng Qi felt happy and carefully put it on. No matter what happened, he should be happy to see it.
You Hongbo held the long sword tightly in his right hand and followed the bodyguard with gritted teeth. His expression was ferocious, as if he wanted to tear the person in his heart into pieces.
After all, he was You Tongguang's favorite son. He didn't say much during the whole journey and controlled his emotions.
Here he stared at the yellow wall and black tiles in front of him, feeling both stunned and frightened.
Third Master, Wu Fengyu is hiding in Dabei Temple. Huh, this traitor is probably trying to scare us by using the reputation of the Sword God in White. The escort replied excitedly.
You Hong said to him: Zhu Mingyuan, you also know the Sword God in White, and you encouraged me to go in and catch Wu Fengyu.
If it weren't for the important relationship between the escorts this time, he wouldn't have taken action personally. He could just find any escort leader.
Third Master, it's okay. You see, Wu Fengyu can hide in, and so can we. As long as you don't get close to the courtyard where the Sword God in White lives, you won't be afraid of any trouble. In the past two days, two groups of gangsters were fighting inside, but they didn't alert the Sword God in White. Zhu Mingyuan quickly explained.
You Hongbo was proud of his identity and believed that even if he alarmed the sword god in white, he would at most be taught a lesson and there would be no danger to his life. Restoring his father's impression was more important. Therefore, he nodded slowly and said: Okay, let's go in.
Climbing over the yellow wall, the two sneaked towards the yard where Wu Fengyu was hiding.
Oops, there was no movement. You Hongbo didn't take it lightly. He searched around first, but unexpectedly found that there was no sound of breathing in the house.
He, he was inside. Zhu Mingyuan was obviously also surprised.
You Hongbo frowned, pushed the door open and went in. After lighting the fire folder, his right hand trembled violently and he almost dropped the fire folder to the ground.
Inside the room, Wu Fengyu lay there quietly, his eyes wide open, condensing indescribable fear and terror, and he was dead.
Phew, the wind blew, and the door was closed. A black shadow suddenly came out, and his hands were like electricity, sealing the shocked You Hongbo's hole.
You Hongbo's martial arts might not be much worse than this black shadow, but he was pampered and had little training. In this situation, he couldn't guard his body and mind, and forgot to guard against sneak attacks, so he was naturally succeeded by one blow.
He looked at the black shadow in horror and found that it was a graceful woman wearing night clothes and a cute white rabbit mask.
Maotu wanted to shout loudly, but the dark eyes under the mask were staring at his throat, so he could only spit out these two words.
Mr. You, don't worry, someone just wants you to be a hostage. As long as you cooperate, your life will not be in danger. Uotu said with a smile, his voice also deliberately becoming hoarse.
If you don't touch my dumb point, do you have anything you want to ask? You Hongbo has always been a smart man, but his experience is too little, while Zhu Mingyuan has long been asleep on the ground.
Maotu looked him up and down, chuckled and said: I never thought about it, but since I caught you, let me ask about the treasure map.
As soon as he finished speaking, she looked out the window warily.
The window creaked open, and a laughing monkey head appeared in front of them.
Shenhou and Shenhou both expressed surprise at the same time.
