The City Lord's Mansion occupies a very large area, almost half of the south of the city, and contains a school ground for martial arts training by the Cui family and their close family members.
o d
The school ground is paved with bluestones, facing the sky. To the east is a stone platform one foot high, which is where the elders usually watch military affairs and comment on them.
Today, the sun is blazing in the sky and there are no clouds in the sky. The ten-foot-long stone platform is filled with Taishi chairs. Many famous martial arts masters are already sitting on them, with their own disciples or juniors standing behind them.
This allows them to have a glimpse of the grand master's battle, learn more about the true essence of martial arts, and avoid detours.
When Meng Qi arrived with Ning Daogu and others, it was already high in the sky, and the competition was only half an hour away. Cui Xu was dressed in a plain robe, with a wooden hairpin on his head, sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, with a long sword across his knees. Incompatible with the hustle and bustle around it, it is self-contained and calm.
Two Cui family disciples were guarding the steps. After taking the invitation from Meng Qi, they looked through it and said loudly: Master Zhending is here.
Immediately, one after another eyes were cast on the stage, and many martial arts celebrities whispered in surprise:
He is true
You are too young, how can you defeat the Mu family father and son
I heard that even the arrogant Shen Hou almost died at his hands
It’s unimaginable, it’s unimaginable. Is it true that a hero comes from a boy
Alas, the waves behind the river push the waves ahead.
Hearing these words, Meng Qi felt secretly happy, but remained calm on the outside. He chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice, walked up the steps slowly, and found his seat under the guidance of his maid, looking indifferent.
Ning Dao, Gu Le, Shi Shi and other Jiangnan Si Ying followed Meng Qi, their skin tensed, their steps hesitant, and their hearts were so excited that they were about to jump out of their chests.
There are so many leaders of big sects, so many famous seniors, they can’t even see each other tomorrow, but now they are right in front of them. How can they not be excited, nervous, or excited
Even if there is no grandmaster battle, this experience alone makes them feel that their trip is worthwhile. This is also a qualification in the world. At least they are familiar with the senior experts.
That was the head of the Longyou Sect, that was the general manager of the Eighteen Waterways in the South. Each of the famous figures appeared in the sight of Le Shishi and others. They suppressed their excitement, lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, and followed them without squinting. Meng Qi moved forward.
After looking at Meng Qi for a while, the famous martial arts masters all withdrew their gazes and discussed the matter with each other. From time to time, people arrived and were greeted by the maids. From time to time, people left and went to the door to watch the whereabouts of the sword god in white. The scene seemed a bit random and chaotic. After all, they are all high-ranking people, and Cui Xu closed his eyes and remained silent. Cui Jinxiu and Fei Zhengqing alone could not suppress the scene.
Under such a situation, Meng Qi suddenly stood up, smiled and said to the maid: "This poor monk wants convenience, but he doesn't know where to go."
The maid was quite surprised. She always felt that senior experts would not have similar needs on such occasions. Ning Dao, Gu Nie Yao and others also had similar expressions.
Surprised, the maid still led Meng Qi to the yard, pointed to the toilet and said: Master, that's where it is, do you remember the way back
Remember, you don’t have to wait for me. Meng Qi replied calmly.
The maid hurried back to serve other distinguished guests, and left in a hurry without saying anything else.
Meng Qi took a deep breath, spread out his body skills, dodged the servants in various courtyards, and sneaked towards the dungeon mentioned by You Tongguang.
Perhaps because it was broad daylight and no one was too vigilant, Meng Qi successfully passed through the busiest courtyard and arrived at the dungeon in the southwest.
A forest of trees was specially planted here to separate the dungeon from the inner courtyard, making it look rather gloomy.
The outer wall of the dungeon is made of huge stones, and a heavy iron door isolates the inside and outside. Two tough men with swords are guarding the door.
Meng Qi picked up a stone, flicked it, and hit the wall on the other side.
Snap, the sound made the watcher turn his head at the same time and look at the place where the sound came from.
At this moment, Meng Qi spread his wings like a roc and quickly rushed in front of them. He hit their heads with his fists.
Bang bang, Meng Qi's fist, which was not even as big as Shabo's, was equally powerful and knocked the two of them to the ground, causing them to faint.
After leaning over and tapping their acupuncture points and dragging them into the woods, Meng Qi walked to the iron door with a swagger, grabbed the knocker, and knocked.
The sound was very rhythmic, three long and two short, repeated three times.
After a while, the iron door made a heavy creaking sound and slowly retreated toward the back.
After the door was slightly opened, the people inside noticed something was wrong through the gap. Who was the person guarding the door? Who was the monk in white who looked a little bit unearthly
They reacted very quickly and immediately closed the iron gate again.
Meng Qi clapped his palms out, pressed them on the iron door, and pushed forward with all his strength.
Open it for me
Meng Qi let out a low drink, his skin turned dark gold, and his arm muscles swelled.
The two people behind the door suddenly stumbled back, unable to stop the iron door from opening.
Too violent, too barbaric
Just now I thought he was an accomplished monk, a handsome and free-spirited monk, but now it seems that he is just a barbarian.
The two people behind the door looked at Meng Qi's face that looked a bit ferocious due to the burst of strength, and they felt that they had been deceived by his appearance.
Meng Qi jumped into the dungeon, sealed their acupuncture points before the two called for help, found the key, knocked them unconscious, and threw them aside.
It really damages the image. Meng Qi flicked the white monk's robe, gripped the sword tightly, sped up his movement, and flew down the stairs.
Along the way, Meng Qi had a clear goal, which was to reach the lowest level of the dungeon. Everyone he met would either be stunned with the back of a knife or have his acupuncture points sealed, and there was no one who could defeat him.
Maybe he didn't expect anyone to break into the dungeon. The jailers and guard masters scattered everywhere were unable to form an effective assembly to create a joint advantage. In addition, Meng Qi's movement was weird, so he was able to break through quickly without causing any waves. Other places don't even know that something happened here.
After going down three floors, Meng Qi saw the narrow iron door described by You Tongguang. Then he found the key from the guard next to him and inserted it to open it.
When he touched the iron door, Meng Qi felt a chill in his right hand, as if the inside was not a dungeon but an ice cellar.
Of course, this had no impact on Meng Qi, who had endured the cold tortoise attack. With a gentle push, the iron door slowly opened.
Behind the iron gate, frost condensed, and waves of cold air rolled up from the bottom along the narrow corridor.
With a calm expression on his face, Meng Qi rushed straight into the corridor and headed towards the bottom.
This corridor was about ten feet long, and Meng Qi could see the scene at the bottom in just a few breaths.
There was indeed an ice cellar, with a square of ice cubes placed there. Under the light of torches on both sides of the corridor, it shone with a magnificent and dreamy color. Among the ice cubes, there was a sapphire coffin, glowing with a faint light.
Meng Qi frowned slightly and slowed down, because there was a man standing at the exit of the narrow corridor. He had white hair, a ruddy face, and always had a kind smile. He seemed to be You Tongguang.
Behind him, there was a young man lying with his eyes closed, his face turned blue, and there was a faint white air coming out of his head.
You came. You Tongguang greeted with a smile.
In front of him and Meng Qi, there was a transparent and imperceptible ice wall that separated the inside and outside.
Meng Qi was neither surprised nor angry, and replied calmly: I'm here.
From the look of you, it seems like you already know something. You Tongguang put his hands behind his back, still smiling.
Meng Qi stroked the Jie Dao and spoke slowly: I know everything I need to know.
Knowing there might be a trap, why did you come? You Tongguang stretched out his hands.
Meng Qi smiled for the first time: I had to come.
Do you regret it now? You Tongguang did not ask why Meng Qi had to come.
Meng Qi sighed: Some tests are aimed at your courage and judgment.
Your courage is commendable, but your judgment seems to be inaccurate. You Tongguang sneered.
Meng Qi shook his head: I have been wondering why the other gods are sure that Shen Hou is a fake, and why they believe that I have the ability to threaten the sword god in white.
Have you figured it out? You Tongguang's smile faded.
Of course, Mr. Zi Mouse. Meng Qi stared into You Tongguang's eyes.
You Tongguang took a breath: Actually, I have never understood why the fifth brother is so sure that you can threaten Luo Qing, but since he said so, we have to believe it, can you tell me why
Didn't I tell you that I had something to save my life? City Lord Cui, um, also Mr. Chen Long, retreated when he saw the difficulties? Meng Qi saw that he didn't know about the Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle, how could he stupidly tell him.
It was precisely because of Xiangshen's use of him to deal with Luo Qing that Meng Qi connected the Twelve Xiangshen with Grandmaster Cui Xu for the first time. Among the two abilities that he could threaten the Grandmaster, the Duanqing Sword Technique had not yet been used. , the Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle has only appeared once, and only the black shadow has been seen, and after analyzing the black shadow, Meng Qi felt that it was most likely Cui Xu.
Thinking about it this way, things became simple and clear. From the beginning, they knew that Shen Hou was fake, because no one would be stupid enough to deal with their own family members. The test on the second day was purely for show. First, it made them not expect that at that time Most of the people who test are Xiangshen, and the second is to weigh their own martial arts.
However, Cui Xu's judgment was wrong. He had initially eliminated sensory interference by cutting off the Pure Sword Intent and did not use the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle. Therefore, Luo Qing basically did not lose combat power, but just lost the initiative and was caught off guard. At that time, they had to Take action, because Luo Qing's sword move slows down and he can escape far away after blocking. By then, Luo Qing won't even give them a chance to be caught off guard.
Without waiting for You Tongguang's reply, Meng Qi continued: "I didn't expect that Chen Long was actually the Lord of Cui City. No wonder he was the Grand Master."
Alas, since Xiao Min's death, the fifth brother's whole person has changed. He talks about the boundaries between humans and gods all day long, and about resurrection from the dead, and then he creates this twelve-phase god organization to collect martial arts secrets. You Tongguang sighed, what can we say as brothers, we will support him no matter what, and we can also get a lot of benefits.
At this time, Meng Qi saw the cold air rolling behind You Tongguang and condensed a few lines of text:
Failed to blend into the Twelve Phase God.
The secret of the Twelve Phase God was investigated clearly.
The side mission is determined to be completed, and one hundred and fifty good deeds will be rewarded.
The second side mission is triggered. Kill Zi Shu and be rewarded with sixty good deeds. Kill Chen Long and be rewarded with one hundred and twenty good deeds.
The smile on Meng Qi's face was a little more sincere: You probably didn't set such a big trap to deal with me, a little monk, right
You Tongguang nodded and looked behind Meng Qi: Mr. Xianyin, come out.
