Chapter 285 Separate Actions
Maoling, a tavern where people from the lower class gather.
Meng Qi once again changed his appearance and figure a little, stepped into a dark and smelly place, ordered a pot of wine and a stack of broad beans, and sat in a corner, quietly listening to others discussing the affairs of the world.
Just in front of him, a man with long arms and legs, who seemed to be practicing through-arm boxing, finally waited for his companion. He was excited but deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Have you heard? Last night's 'Shocking Baili' and 'Crazy Knife' There was a big battle in Guanjin Garden!”
His companion, dressed as an escort, laughed and said, "I know more details than you do. The chief escort heard the news last night and rushed to investigate in person."
Having said this, his expression calmed down, and Da Ma Jin Dao sat down and drank a glass of wine. His expression did not know whether it was envy, frustration, or looking up to him: "The battle with Kai Qiao was actually comparable to the destruction of a top-notch master on location. The wind and clouds were surging, and the lightning was There was thunder and lightning, the earth cracked, trees were broken, turf flew away, houses collapsed, and everything was scorched..."
His tone was a little sleepy.
"Is this so scary?"
"How could this happen!"
The man with long arms and legs and another companion exclaimed in unison, full of disbelief.
The bodyguard sighed: "The top ten on the list are indeed well-deserved. Even if 'Crazy Sword' Su Meng is not in the top ten, he is not far away."
"So, Crazy Blade lost?" The man with long hands and legs tasted the taste.
The escort pondered for a moment: "It is said that he was at a disadvantage, but he was still able to force back 'Shocking Baili' with all his strength and leave safely."
"No wonder you said he was close to the top ten." Another companion clicked his lips, "Why on earth did they fight? A fight over the rankings?"
The bodyguard looked slightly strange: "Jiang Hengchuan's cousin was killed, the mad sword was at the scene, and the wound was caused by lightning."
"What does Crazy Blade want to do? It won't bring harm to the family!" The man with long arms and legs lost his voice.
The bodyguard's expression became more and more strange: "But today Jiang Hengchuan made a statement to several celebrities that yesterday he was too reckless and did not ask the truth. He wronged Kuang Dao. It was too coincidental and must be a fraud. Moreover, although the knife wound was caused by lightning, Attributes, but actually slightly different from Kuang Dao’s sword skills and weapons, so he searched widely for Kuang Dao’s forgiveness.”
"This..." The other two people looked at each other, this change was too fast, right?
But it’s normal to think about it. To be on the list of people, Jiang Hengchuan’s spiritual cultivation cannot be weak. Even if he is crazy, even if he is crazy, he will not fill his head with anger and ignore the strange things and evidence. Once he calms down, he will naturally find out No, respond correctly.
Meng Qi listened quietly and confirmed from different people in the world that Jiang Hengchuan's request for forgiveness had spread throughout the martial arts world, and the possibility of fraud was very small. Then Shi Shiran got up, went out to do some shopping, and bought a black outfit. , restored appearance and figure, carried a sword on his back, and walked on the street.
Three quarters of an hour later, Meng Qi was not surprised to see Jiang Hengchuan arriving like a swimming fish.
He shuttled among the crowd, always missing someone by the slightest chance, but always just passing by and approaching quickly.
"Young Master Su, Jiang was reckless and rude yesterday, and I came here to accuse him." Jiang Hengchuan's posture was very low, but his natural and interesting feeling in every gesture has not diminished at all. His thick eyebrows are still the same as that of a farmer.
Meng Qi accepted the gift calmly: "Brother Jiang, it's noisy here, why not find a quiet place to talk in detail."
"Very good." Jiang Hengchuan said nothing and turned around to lead the way.
He chose the Hero Building.
Because Meng Qi had already passed through, Jiang Hengchuan was also well-known, and they had teamed up to produce exterior-level destructive power yesterday, so there was no one to stop them all the way, and they climbed directly to the fifth floor, where the sky is vast and the river is small.
There was no one on the fifth floor, so they found a corner and waited quietly for tea.
The aroma of tea hit their nostrils, and they each took a sip. Jiang Hengchuan stood up and apologized again: "Jiang was so angry yesterday that he lost his mood. Please forgive Su Shaoxia."
"In that situation, I wouldn't be able to calm down. I have to take down the person in front of me." Meng Qi replied casually, showing no hatred for Jiang Hengchuan.
But he was thinking about Jiang Hengchuan's words. Did he lose his mood yesterday?
In the middle of the night yesterday, when Meng Qi reviewed the battle, he felt that the reason why he was completely at a disadvantage was not only the gap in his own strength, but also the failure in mental and spiritual confrontation. After all, he was unable to generate real fighting spirit when facing the suffering master. , hesitating in his heart, his momentum was naturally suppressed, and he could only exert 70% to 80% of his strength.
But now it seems that Jiang Hengchuan also has a loophole in his mind and has lost his temper. The two sides are facing each other. The battle last night should be a comparison of real strength.
You still have to work hard!
In a month or two, his seven orifices will be completely stable, and he can make initial adjustments to his inner world. At that time, his realm will be fed back to his sword skills and sword skills, and his strength will be improved.
Jiang Hengchuan's dark skin hid the change in his face, and he said a little self-deprecatingly: "No, the normal approach should be to be polite first and then attack. First, ask Su Shaoxia to stay and check the body together. If he is unwilling, then take action."
"Later, I inspected the body with Liumen Yu Yinzhang, Dai Qingshou, and Mr. Liang of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau. We found that except for the traces of lightning, the true energy was a deliberately imitated Shaolin Golden Bell. However, Mr. Liang was a lay disciple of Shaolin. After discovering some slight differences and identifying the frame-up, Jiang knew that he had made a big mistake."
The true energy can simulate the golden bell... There are not many martial arts like this... Meng Qi fell into deep thought. However, due to the vastness of the main world and the many martial arts, there were countless ones that he had never heard of, and he could not find any clues for a while.
Could it be the Small No-Phase Kung Fu... Meng Qi thought divergently. Even the Heavenly Demon Kung Fu was involved in this matter, so the appearance of the Small No-Phase Kung Fu was not a coincidence.
To be honest, Meng Qi's Eighty-nine Mysterious Techniques can also be imitated. When he has cultivated this peerless magical technique to the seven orifices stage, and the inner world has first been formed, he will have stronger control over his body and soul, and will be able to control the true energy and details of the physical body. Mastering it will be unmatched by anyone at the same level. As long as there are corresponding cheats for reference, changing the true energy and simulating special effects is what it should be.
After pondering for a moment, Meng Qi frowned and said, "You can actually imitate Shaolin's unique skills. Do any of the seniors have any clues?"
"Not yet. Although there are not many similar magic skills, some have been lost for a long time. Maybe someone dug them out from the grave..." Jiang Hengchuan shook his head, "I wonder if Su Shaoxia has any clues that will allow Jiang to find out the truth?" fierce?"
Meng Qi briefly talked about the coffin and the shopkeeper holding the paper ball in his mouth, and finally asked: "Brother Jiang, with you guarding me, how could my brother be killed?"
Jiang Hengchuan was silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "This matter is a long story, and I would like to ask Su Shaoxia not to tell others."
"Okay." Meng Qi nodded lightly, secretly guessing why he was attracted to Mao Ling.
"A few months ago, I killed a left-handed master and got an 'opportunity'. I reaped some benefits in Maoling. But if I want to go deeper, I need three 'opportunities'. I had no clues at the moment, so I had to After leaving Maoling, he built a great house and worked hard to cultivate himself. Unexpectedly, he received a letter from the flying dart, saying that he had kidnapped my cousin Tabo and asked me to go to Maoling and exchange people with opportunities. "Jiang Hengchuan deliberately used opportunities instead of specific things. .
"I couldn't contact my third brother, so I had to secretly come to Maoling. I found that nothing happened to him at all. He was just addicted to gambling. He lost everything in the Tianzi No. 1 master game. He was forced to pay off the debt. It was difficult to get together. Get the money and come out.”
"I thought this was strange. I didn't show up on purpose. I lived in the yard near my third brother under an assumed name. I was investigating the person who led me to Maoling. I suddenly got a clue last night. I was taken in a circle and got rid of me. I just had a drink when I came back. Cha, I heard something coming from Hefeng Xiaozhu, so I rushed to check it out. I was shocked and angry at the same time. I thought it was the mastermind behind the scenes who warned me to be careful of other family members! "
Opportunity... could it be the thing that opened the door to Dongyang Beppu? Meng Qi listened calmly.
Qiu Fei must have gotten it from Dongyang Thatched Cottage, but what about the others?
After listening to Jiang Hengchuan's description, Meng Qi smiled bitterly: "I am also confused myself. How do I know what it is that you mentioned?"
Jiang Hengchuan sighed: "I'm afraid that others will hear it and deliberately refer to it. It's not easy for casual cultivators to gain. If it attracts outdoor scenes, then we have to give up."
"Brother Jiang, is there anyone you suspect?" Meng Qi went straight to the point.
Jiang Hengchuan's face darkened: "Yes, 'Zhufeng Stick' Qiu Fei!"
"Why?" Meng Qi was not too surprised by the answer.
Jiang Hengchuan took a deep breath and restrained the urge to gnash his teeth: "When I was reaping the benefits in Maoling, I bumped into two groups of people. One group was very large and fought for each other. The other group was Qiu Fei himself. He also received the benefits, but Without the other two opportunities, he is probably targeting me, and with his strength, even if he brings the clan's treasured soldiers, it will be easy to defeat me, but it will be impossible to kill me, so he came up with this strategy."
Does Qiu Fei have this ability layout? Meng Qi thought of Wang Siyuan, but what Jiang Hengchuan said next made him feel uneasy.
"Qiu Fei is very suspicious. He is advancing faster and faster." Jiang Hengchuan has been paying attention to Qiu Fei for a long time.
Meng Qi took a breath and Qiu Fei's information came to mind:
"The orifices opened at the age of seventeen, four orifices at the age of twenty, six orifices at the age of twenty-four, seven orifices at the age of twenty-nine". Up to this point, it is an above-average level, but after that, "eight orifices at the age of thirty-two, eight orifices at the age of thirty-three" He has nine orifices at the age of thirty-six and breaks through the barrier of life and death." It shows a situation of first slowly and then quickly.
Meng Qi once thought it was an adventure in Dongyang Thatched Cottage, but now that he calculated the time, it didn't quite fit. Since Qiu Fei got the "opportunity", he should have come to Maoling as soon as possible.
"Brother Jiang, does opportunity require a specific time?" he asked the person involved.
Jiang Hengchuan said firmly: "No need, but opportunities seem to be concentrated in a certain period of time."
Meng Qi said no more, and did not mention Wang Siyuan's words: "Brother Jiang, many young masters in Maoling have gathered together, and there is a turbulent undercurrent. I'm afraid there is something fishy about this matter. Why don't we investigate separately and find the mastermind behind it?"
"Okay, I wonder if Su Shaoxia has any suggestions?" Jiang Hengchuan agreed immediately.
Meng Qi took out the wood carvings in the coffin, the note and the paper ball from the shopkeeper's mouth, and handed it to Jiang Hengchuan: "Everyone who walks by will leave traces. Brother Jiang can check the origin of the wood carvings and the handwriting of the note. I will go Investigate the purpose of the other young masters coming to Maoling."
Jiang Hengchuan took the things and stood up to confess again.
Just as he was about to leave, Meng Qi suddenly asked: "Brother Jiang, since it is not easy to be a casual cultivator, why don't you join the court, aristocratic family or a sect?"
Jiang Hengchuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled as honestly as a farmer:
"I cultivate myself hard not to find a master over myself."
