Chapter 235 Aftermath
Meng Qi didn't go through the main gate, but jumped over the courtyard wall and landed silently. He drew out the "Ziwu" with his left hand. The sword was simple and black and white.
With his spirit outward and the Immortal Seal in operation, Meng Qi found two people in the left wing room. The true energy in their bodies was changing and moving rapidly, and they were obviously very alert.
"Did the noise just now disturb them?" This thought flashed through Meng Qi's mind, and he kicked a small stone with his right foot and shot it at the wing window.
At the same time, he raised his long sword upside down and rushed forward with the small stone. It was like a shadow, like a phantom or a demon.
Puff, the small stone pierced through the window paper and hit the two people in the room. They were the charming young woman and the sickly man.
The young woman had two short blades in her hands. She flicked them lightly and bounced the stones away. Just as she was about to look in the direction of the attack to guard against subsequent attacks, her eyes blurred and she saw a black shadow, which looked like the manifestation of the evil ghost in her heart!
Ziwu, who was ready to strike, stabbed out, lightly piercing through the two short blades that the young woman had just used to deflect the stone, and casually touched her throat.
The sickly man fell behind Meng Qi and hit him on the back with both palms, but he turned around and his own energy disappeared without a trace.
The familiar power surged, causing him to lose his center of gravity. Ziwu touched again lightly, and he covered his throat and slowly fell to the ground.
In just a breath, the two disciples of Su Nu Dao surrendered one after another, without any ability to resist. Under the Immortal Seal, the Phantom Demon Body Technique and the Dugu Nine Swords, Meng Qi was like strolling in the garden.
Meng Qi did not waste time, and his eyes swept around the room to see if there was anything worth exploring.
Suddenly, his eyes focused, and he saw a small altar on the ground, but the altar was dim and cracked everywhere, and it was obvious that something had happened.
"It seems that the descendant of Xuannv was really killed by Gu Xiaosang..." This is the altar that summons the descendant of Xuannv to appear. If she had not died, she would never become like this without external force. Therefore, Meng Qi had some guesses, breathed a long sigh of relief, and felt relieved.
Even if the descendant of Xuannv was not killed on the spot by Gu Xiaosang, she could not return after being pulled into the unknown reincarnation world by Gu Xiaosang with the help of the Heavenly Court Boundary Monument and the Reincarnation Talisman. After all, she did not have the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. When she arrived at that place, it would not be difficult for Gu Xiaosang, who had the advantage of time, place and people, to really kill her.
What he saw just now made Meng Qi understand that Gu Xiaosang's real purpose was the fairy spirit on the descendant of Xuannv, which seemed to be the medium to activate the Heavenly Court Boundary Monument and open the door to the Nine Heavens.
"What she said about seeing the secret of Xuannv's descendants in ancient books should be the information obtained from the serial tasks in the Heavenly Palace... Otherwise, how could a secret that has been passed down for so many generations and no outsider knows about it be recorded in ancient books so easily?"
"But it also tricked the demon girl once!"
Although Gu Yaonv got what she wanted in the end, Meng Qi believed that this was definitely not her ideal way, but just the last resort. After all, the temptation of the ruins of the Nine Heavens was enough to alarm the Dharma masters, and the outsiders were even more eager to go there. Who would want to explore the ruins and search for treasures by themselves and let the world know about it?
Not to mention whether they have a way to find the ruins of the Nine Heavens, Gu Xiaosang will inevitably be pursued by the outsiders in the future. Birds die for food, and people die for money!
And she obviously kept this matter secret from the people of Luojiao. After it was exposed, there would inevitably be a gap between her and the Dharma King and the God's Messenger. Such a large treasure, related to the ancient secret ruins, how could she swallow it alone? When they seek to join forces, will Gu Xiaosang share this secret or not? If it is shared, will it involve the existence of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation?
Meng Qi felt a headache for Gu Yaonu just thinking about it, and his mood suddenly became cheerful.
Moreover, the existence of the Nine Heavens Ruins is definitely not something that Gu Xiaosang can explore in depth with her current strength. In other words, her serial tasks must have follow-up steps, which means that she will get into trouble without getting much benefit!
Meng Qi speculated that Gu Yaonu's normal plan should be to kill Shan Xiumei and capture a little fairy spirit before everyone reacts, and then leave calmly, with the help of it, find the true body of the descendant of Xuannv, kill her, get enough fairy spirit, and then quietly escape, find a place where no one is, and use the reincarnation talisman, the heavenly boundary monument and the fairy spirit to open the "door" without anyone noticing.
As a result, she secretly passed through the six doors, attracted the exterior scene and the half-step exterior scene, and kept a close eye on her. In desperation, she had to use the heavenly boundary monument and the reincarnation talisman on the spot to escape.
Anyway, for Meng Qi, the Nine Heavens Ruins have something to do with him, but not too much. Even if there is a coveted treasure, he doesn't know it clearly and can't get it. Therefore, he doesn't feel regretful or sorry when the news spreads. The mystery of the fall of the Zhenwu Emperor and the successor of the Thunder God are his goals!
However, for Gu Xiaosang, she is used to being hunted by the righteous and other evil sects. The main problem lies in the Luo Sect. Therefore, Meng Qi can't guess to what extent she can be deceived. Maybe she can generously share this secret?
After a quick inspection of the yard, Meng Qi didn't find any other clues that were unfavorable to him. He quickly dragged the coquettish young woman and the sickly child to the bed, poured the oil and wine he found, and poured all the rooms.
Then he lit a torch tied with clothes in a place where there was no oil, and extended a rope to the bed where the bodies of the coquettish young woman and the sickly child were. When it slowly burned over, the whole room would burn violently and destroy all traces.
In order to prevent the fire from being extinguished accidentally, Meng Qi prepared several torches and ropes. After lighting them, he climbed over the wall and left the place. After making a circle, he went straight back to Wanhua Tower.
Not long after entering Wanhua Tower, Meng Qi saw Kong Yu, Wang Ce and others coming back empty-handed, seemingly without any gains.
Just then, a big fire suddenly broke out at the end of Yuqiao Street, lighting up the sky red, so several people tacitly did not speak and rushed over.
The fire was so intense that the original room had long been in an unknown state. After putting out the fire, Kong Yu searched for a while and came to the conclusion: "There is a Su Nu Dao altar in the room, which should be one of their hiding places. The two bodies inside were burned after death, and the fatal wound was in the middle of the throat. It is suspected that the people of Luojiao killed them."
The Daluo demon woman had just killed the "incarnation" of the descendant of Xuannv, and this conclusion made Wang Zai and others have no doubts.
Meng Qi found a gap and asked: "Captain Kong, Master Wang, I was distracted just now. I wonder if you have found anything?"
Because the "towering gate" was scattered into spots of light, many people thought it was a chance encounter and chased to different locations, so Meng Qi said this.
Wang Zai exhaled: "Nothing was found. The Daluo demon woman seemed to have taken the descendant of Xuannv directly into the air."
"No clues?" Meng Qi asked righteously, but he was actually concerned about whether they had found the strange stone from outer space.
Kong Yu shook his head: "There is nothing special about that courtyard except for daily things."
"Is that so..." Meng Qi looked regretful.
I am relieved now! The strange stone from outer space was obviously carried by the descendant of Xuannv, and was "plundered" by Gu Xiaosang.
As they talked, they returned to Wanhua Tower. The demon woman killed people, so there must be clues left.
After entering Wanhua Tower, Meng Qi was about to make up a reason for the maid to get separated in the chaos, when he suddenly heard a soft and gentle cry: "Master, are you okay? I am scared."
Meng Qi was startled and looked sideways, only to see a pretty maid in a pink coat coming up quickly. Her eyebrows and eyes were about 70% similar to Gu Xiaosang's maid, and she was also painted with rouge and powder to cover up the difference.
This... Meng Qi was stunned at first, then turned to look at Kong Yu, only to see him looking forward, not looking sideways, nodding slightly, as if responding to the investigation reports of other police chiefs.
The Six Gates do things cleanly, leaving no flaws! Meng Qi secretly praised and said to the maid: "Xiao Zi, I'm fine."
"Xiao Zi" followed Meng Qi obediently and stopped talking, while Wang Zai and others usually didn't pay attention to a maid, and didn't realize that someone had been replaced.
At this point, Meng Qi's suspicion was infinitely reduced, and it looked more like the "Daluo Demon Girl" took advantage of the lively occasion when he challenged Master Huang Zi to assassinate him!
Wang Ce ran over, followed by the old servant. After seeing Wang Zai, he asked repeatedly: "Fourth brother, have you seen Xiumei? What happened?"
How come he has completely changed after coming back?
How could the affair between the Wang family's legitimate son and the descendant of Su Nu Dao Xuan Nu be leaked? Wang Zai's face remained unchanged, and he explained in secret.
Anyway, only the Thunder Blade Mad Monk, Constable Kong and Constable Yinzhang saw the scene in the room, and the rest were all Wang family members.
Of course, he had to tell Su Meng and others a few words afterwards to show his friendship to the Wang family.
After listening to Wang Zai's explanation, Wang Ce's face turned pale, and he looked at other Wang family members as if seeking support and help, and they all nodded in the affirmative.
He looked dazed and his eyes were distracted. If the old servant hadn't patted him on the back, he might have done something that would be inappropriate.
Not long after, it was found out that the witch used evil magic to control Xue Dongjia and asked him to send the diuretic Wanhua wine. As for what the witch was dressed like at the time, how could Xue Dongjia, who was controlled, remember it?
The Wang family returned to the ancestral home, and Meng Qi walked towards his own yard accompanied by Constable Kong Yu of Qingshou.
"Thanks to Mr. Su's reminder, otherwise I would not have noticed such a big thing in Ye City, and I would inevitably be considered as a vain person by the superiors." Seeing that there was no one around, Kong Yu thanked him in a low voice, "Mr. Su, was being hunted by the Daluo Demon Girl?"
"First, she was the one who provoked the descendant of Xuannv, so I took the risk to cooperate with her, fight the descendant of Xuannv, and then lead the forces of you, Captain Kong, to deal with her. I should thank you." Meng Qi answered "frankly". He couldn't say that he was controlled, which was easy to see.
Kong Yu nodded lightly, looking forward: "You have to play the whole show, Mr. Su, challenge Wang Zai in three days."
"Yeah." Meng Qi had this idea, and then pretended to be embarrassed and said, "But the Shaolin Discipline Monk..."
Kong Yu turned his head to look at him, showing a hint of smile, and asked instead of answering: "Mr. Su, are you willing to join the Six Gates?"
