Chapter 298: How Are You? (First Update, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)
The sky was getting slightly brighter, and Meng Qi stepped into the morning light, breathing in the refreshing air, and entered Maoling City leisurely.
He did not go back to the rented yard directly, but walked towards the alley with the locust tree. He couldn't slack off for a day!
When they arrived at the locust tree, the gray-haired old man was already carving wood carvings with a focused expression, as if he was holding the most sacred thing in his hands. His attitude was so pious that many people have never achieved anything in their lives, no matter whether they are addicted or have faith. No matter what, the heat was missing after all.
Meng Qi's mind was clear, and he sat under the locust tree as usual, watching the old man carving without saying a word, with the same concentration.
It was getting higher and brighter, and the old man finally finished carving a wooden sculpture. He looked up at Meng Qi and was slightly stunned: "Brother, are you okay?"
This was a kind of greeting that they had not seen for a long time. Meng Qi was startled when he heard this, and he was shocked. He could see that it had actually been three months?
"Everything is well, junior, and your strength has improved greatly." Meng Qi pondered for a moment. After all, he was worried that the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation would obliterate him, so he answered vaguely, neither confirming nor denying.
The old man's seemingly ordinary facial features were relaxed, and he said with a smile: "It's good to make progress, it's good to make progress."
"This junior made further breakthroughs in swordsmanship and finally mastered an outdoor sword move." Meng Qi deliberately provoked the topic.
If the identity of the old man that he guessed was correct, swordsmanship should be something he dared to be interested in. Moreover, he did not aim at nothing. If he deliberately relied on this aspect when there was nothing to discuss, it would only arouse resentment.
The old man put down the wood carving and carving knife, concentrated on chatting, and said with a smile: "Young people are scary. If I had 10% of your talent and progress in practicing swordsmanship, I wouldn't be scolded by the teacher."
"But the younger generation does not have the concentration and consistency of the older generation, which remains unchanged over the years. On the road to cultivation, talent, luck, and opportunity can make a person go faster and further in the same time, but how long one can go depends on hard work and Concentrate." Meng Qi replied sincerely.
The old man shook his head and laughed at himself: "I have always been stupid. I can't be distracted by anything. Others can practice many sword moves at once, but I can only practice one move until I am very proficient and can do anything with my hands." Practice the next sword move without interference, otherwise you will lose sight of the other and fail to practice both moves. The same is true for other things. If you are not as talented as others, you can only work hard with concentration, hard work and hard work. , there is no other way.”
As he spoke, he touched a sword beside him. It was a long sword wrapped in a light black old scabbard. It had an ordinary style and an ordinary aura.
It was only then that Meng Qi discovered this sword. Before, he had completely ignored what was around the old man and only focused on him. Looking back, he was quite surprised.
"Maybe the senior's talent is concentration." Meng Qi sighed, "It would be great if the junior could be like the senior."
The old man shook his head again, with a slightly serious expression: "Whoever learns from me will live, and whoever resembles me will die."
Meng Qi was shocked when he heard this and vaguely touched something: "Thank you, senior, for your teaching."
"Concentration, hard work and hard work are acquired." The old man said again and picked up the carving knife and wooden block.
Seeing this, Meng Qi stood up and left.
Before carving, the old man suddenly paused, pondered for a while and said: "Brother, there is something I don't know whether to talk about or not."
"Senior, there is no need to worry." Meng Qi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be the "you are fine" thing just now?
The old man looked at Meng Qi and thought quietly for a while: "Let's wait until after the Jinshui tide. Please ask me to come over then. There will be no need to come again during this period."
"Yes, senior." Meng Qi saluted solemnly, with doubts, expectations, nervousness, and joy in his heart. No matter what, the relationship got closer.
The old man stopped talking and started carving wood carvings with his head down, concentrating and being pious.
Meng Qi quietly exited the alley and returned to the small courtyard where he rented, waiting for what might happen today.
Normally, with the help of foreign aid, he should keep a low profile and wait for Jiang Zhiwei, Ruan Yushu and Qi Zhengyan to arrive quietly before taking action in a big way. He is doing it openly and they are doing it secretly, so that Suan Jin Cang Sheng and Wen Quxing know what it means to be outside of control. But he has been involved in the whirlpool. Keeping a low profile will only make people suspicious. His friendship with Jiang Zhiwei is not a secret, and her current position is not a secret. As long as there is suspicion, Wang Siyuan's ability will not be difficult to guess Jiang Zhiwei's secret. Come to help.
So, do whatever you need to do, but don't create unnecessary complications or risk.
"Come on, come on, the person I am today is no longer the person I was yesterday." Meng Qi thought.
At noon, Meng Qi had just finished his lunch and was catching his breath when he heard a knock on the door.
"Brother Jiang, didn't you go look for Qiu Fei's whereabouts?" As soon as Meng Qi entered the house, he naturally sensed that Jiang Hengchuan was outside the door. The unity between him and the surrounding world was indeed a bit flawed, and he was still a little isolated. This may be why he The reason why he has never been able to achieve the perfect unity of heaven and man, otherwise even if he has initially adjusted his inner world and interacted with nature, he should not be able to tell the difference.
Jiang Hengchuan looked solemn, looked around, and closed the door: "Mr. Su, I found a clue."
He has very thick eyebrows, ordinary facial features, and a farmer's skin. He seems to be a part of nature, with its light and dust. But in nature, he is like the first ray of sunshine in the morning and the greenest leaf on the tree. After all, he is the most special one among his peers, making people feel faintly outstanding.
Meng Qi's inner heaven and earth had not been adjusted before, and his feeling was not deep, but he had just tasted it now.
Recalling what Jiang Hengchuan said, "You don't train yourself hard just to find a master," Meng Qi seems to be able to outline a truly aloof heart.
Loneliness and pride are the real Jiang Hengchuan.
"Qiu Fei's clue?" Meng Qi's eyes lit up.
Jiang Hengchuan nodded: "Mr. Su, don't you think what happened before is too coincidental?"
After working together several times, he changed his title.
"Are you saying that Qiu Fei went to the hills outside the city for several days in a row, as if waiting for us to find out?" Meng Qi suddenly understood. He had thought it was too coincidental before, but subconsciously thought that Qiu Fei would do no good to him and would only suffer from it. .
"Yes, since it is a secret matter, and there are many strong people in the city for outdoor scenes, it is natural to meet as little as possible. It is best to finish what needs to be said and discussed in one communication, so as not to expose his whereabouts." Jiang Hengchuan's eyes were deep, like a hunter's. .
Meng Qi held his breath and thought for a moment: "But what good will this do to Qiu Fei? He has ruined his reputation and almost brought down the family."
"It may not be that he did it on purpose. Maybe there is a reason why he had to go to the hills outside the city to meet for several days in a row." Jiang Hengchuan had already thought about it. "I followed this guess and investigated, and found that Qiu Fei has been in Tianzi for the past few days. I met someone at the "Milong Courtyard" of Casino No. 1, so I want to invite Mr. Su to visit You Shaohui, the real owner of Casino No. 1, and ask Qiu Fei who he met. "
Meng Qi didn't hesitate: "Okay."
You Shaohui, the brother-in-law of "Impartial" Ye Taoguang, the leader of the Dajiang Gang's Punishment Hall. His own strength relied on the accumulation of time and pills to barely reach the nine-level, but relying on his well-known brother-in-law, he made the Tianzi No. 1 Casino prosperous. , no one in the world would give him any face.
Jiang Hengchuan was stunned when he heard this, and smiled: "I haven't seen you all night, Mr. Su seems to have a lot more confidence."
Meng Qi smiled and said nothing, just shook his head.
…………
After waiting for a full hour, Meng Qi wanted to sit cross-legged and meditate. Without wasting time, You Shaohui sent the butler out and invited the two of them inside to meet.
Seeing that Jiang Hengchuan next to him was calm and relaxed, showing no sign of impatience in waiting, Meng Qi's evaluation of him became even higher. As expected, the top ten people on the list were all not unworthy of their fame.
"Mr. Su looks calm and not at all angry at being slighted. Jiang admires him." Jiang Hengchuan also praised Meng Qi.
Meng Qi laughed and said, "Brother Jiang, let's not use sedan chairs to carry people."
Following the butler, Meng Qi passed through the bustling general hall of Tianzi No. 1 Casino, passed through the private room for experts to gamble, and passed through a downward staircase. Meng Qi saw a ring with two powerful players on it. Battle.
Opposite the ring, there is a raised platform with tables and chairs for people to watch the competition.
Currently, the chair is empty except for a middle-aged, stout man sitting in an indistinct form, protected by masters with long breathing and powerful momentum on both sides.
"Master Youfang..." Jiang Hengchuan called You Shaohui as the owner of the gambling house because he was the owner of the gambling house.
You Shaohui's facial features are actually very good. If he hadn't gained weight, he would have been a first-class handsome man. But now, he is so fat that his face looks full of flesh.
He raised his hand to interrupt Jiang Hengchuan without looking at Meng Qi and asked, "What's the matter?"
It seems that in his eyes, warriors who are not on the Earth Ranking are not considered masters.
"I would like to ask the master about something. Who did Zhufeng Gun meet at Milongyuan during his lifetime?" Jiang Hengchuan was extremely well-mannered and did not get angry at all.
"Why should I tell you?" You Shaohui still didn't look directly at Meng Qi and the other two.
As soon as he finished speaking, he thought for a while, looked over, and showed a playful smile: "I have no talent in learning martial arts, and I am the most unlucky young talent. You are all at the top of the list. I am even more displeased. How about this? Come on, you fight with my subordinates and show me your martial arts. If you can beat me to my satisfaction, I will consider whether to tell you or not."
"Master Youfang, I am not an actor..." Jiang Hengchuan was interrupted by Meng Qi before he could finish his words.
He took a step forward and looked at You Shaohui with a leisurely expression: "Master Youfang, I wonder which subordinate you want to send?"
Jiang Hengchuan was about to stop him, but he opened his mouth but still didn't speak.
You Shaohui laughed loudly, as if he was proud, and pointed at the tall and thin man next to him: "The ghost shadow Ding Xiaofeng, although he has never been on the list, is now only half a step away from opening the door to life and death. As long as you can..."
After he introduced the master next to him, he suddenly saw a sword light up, like lightning, and it was faster than imagined. As soon as he felt it, the long sword was already placed on his neck!
At this time, Ding Xiaofeng threw himself in front of him. After all, he was half a step slower. The long sword of another master next to him was full of energy. He forcibly twisted it, grazed Meng Qi's face and flew towards the opposite wall, hitting a slash. Sword marks.
"Master Youfang, we are not actors." Meng Qi looked at You Shaohui with a smile, "Within a short distance, your fate is up to me and not to you."
His hand holding the knife was unusually steady, as if the knife was not about You Shaohui's neck, but a piece of wood.
