Chapter 58 The Twelve Gods

Meng Qi felt very good about himself after this stabbing, which fully met his requirements of being handsome and unrestrained, so he remained silent and waited for the other couple to come to their senses.

After a while, the man wearing a turban glanced at the body behind Meng Qi, swallowed, and said cautiously and excitedly: "I am Zhang Zongxian, this is my wife Li Xinyu. I thank the Master for saving my life. I dare to ask the Master for his help." Number."

He did not dare to call this terrifying little novice monk his little master.

"The poor monk Zhending was passing by by chance and saw someone in trouble here, so he came over to check it out." Meng Qi patted the monk's robe and stood up leisurely.

It would be great if it were a white monk’s robe!

"Well, thanks to the mage's rescue, I and my wife were able to survive." Zhang Zongxian sighed, and he and his wife bowed their thanks.

Meng Qi clasped his hands together and said in a very eminent monk manner: "Amitabha, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."

After speaking, he looked at Zhang Zongxian and his wife with a smile, waiting for them to explain their reasons.

Zhang Zongxian naturally did not dare not to explain. The other party was involved in this matter in order to save the lives of his wife and his wife. He had to explain it anyway. Moreover, "Shen Hou" mentioned the treasure map many times. I wonder how much Master Zhending heard it...

So, he said solemnly: "I and my wife accidentally got a treasure map, which was left behind by the Snow God Palace that once dominated the world. Somehow the news was leaked, and people knew about it, and invited the twelve beasts to take action, kill people and take away the treasure." Bao, the enemy you killed just now, Master, was one of the twelve beasts, the 'Shen Monkey'."

Meng Qi understood the general story, but the terms were not clear, so he said calmly: "I grew up in the far west. I have just returned here. I would like to ask the wise couple to explain the Snow God Palace." and 'The Twelve Beasts'."

Oh... Zhang Zongxian and Li Xinyu both looked like that. No wonder they had never heard of monks with such terrible martial arts skills! There are no similar rumors about people in the world!

Li Xinyu calmed down her confused expression and said: "Master Zhending, Xueshen Palace was a sect that dominated the world fifty years ago. Unfortunately, it was arrogant and extravagant, and gradually fell into the devil's way. After claiming to be a god, he called out to other fellow practitioners, Later, it was jointly attacked by various factions in the world. After several ups and downs, it finally collapsed thirty years ago. Only one or two secret inheritances are still there. However, it is said that the master of the Snow God Palace anticipated this situation and buried many treasures secretly. , secret books and magic weapons, in order to make a comeback in the future.”

"The 'Twelve Phase Gods' is a secret organization in the world. There are only twelve official members, named by their zodiac signs, and they are all powerful people. Their whereabouts are secretive and they accept various tasks. As long as they can afford the rewards they ask for, , at the same time, they often get involved in some major affairs without missions. Obviously, their intentions are not small, and they are called the 'Twelve Beasts' by people in the world."

"Strong people? How strong?" Meng Qi asked bluntly.

The strength of "Shen Monkey" just now should be close to enlightenment. The reason why he could be easily killed by him was entirely because the effect of the fourth level of his golden bell cover was too terrifying.

You must know that this is a magical skill that directly refers to the Dharmakaya. The fourth level is much more effective than most horizontal kung fu at the same level. With the strength of "Shen Monkey", without a sharp weapon like Jiang Zhiwei's "White Rainbow Penetrating Sun Sword" in hand , can't hurt oneself at all, and a master with an eye-opening level, if his martial arts is not a magical skill of the same level, has to exert more than 80% of his strength to be able to hurt himself, and the effect of reducing injuries is obvious.

Meng Qi speculated from the information related to the Golden Bell that an average master who has just started to gain enlightenment would have to use at least three or four palms with all his strength before his Golden Bell can break through.

Zhang Zongxian pondered for a moment, thinking about how to describe it more appropriately. After a few breaths, he smiled and said: "The seven great masters in the world are the top masters. They have all opened the secret treasure of the human body. Most of the 'Twelve Beasts' They have all touched the secret treasure. They are first-class masters, second only to the master in terms of realm. Moreover, it is rumored that two of the 'Twelve Beasts' are also masters who have opened the secret treasure, but they just hide it."

"So, Master Zhending, don't underestimate the 'Twelve Beasts'." Li Xinyu reminded.

Meng Qi nodded slightly: "I wonder which of the seven great masters are strong and which are weak?"

The secrets of the human body are similar to those of opening one's orifices, but I don't know if there is something special about it...

Regarding specific questions about martial arts, he couldn't ask in detail, lest he become too ignorant. Moreover, Zhang Zongxian and his wife were not very strong and could not reach this level.

"The seven great masters rarely fight against each other. We really don't know. Anyway, they are all devastating to other masters." Zhang Zongxian shook his head.

Li Xinyu also nodded and said: "The specific master who opened which secret is a personal secret and outsiders can only guess."

"I wonder who the seven great masters are?" These are the people Meng Qi needs to focus on.

"Faxuanzong's miserable monk, Lord Cui Xu of Tianding City, 'White Sword God' Luo Qing, 'Ice Divine Needle' Wu Caisha, 'Luo Xue Dao' Che Wanxiu, 'Reincarnated Demon' Gai Yuan, 'Mr. Xianyin' Duan Xiangfei..." Zhang Zongxian briefly introduced the seven great masters, including their nicknames, appearance and martial arts skills.

After hearing this, Meng Qi smiled and said: "Since Destiny has arisen and Destiny has ceased, the poor monk will leave without delaying the two benefactors. I just wonder if the 'Twelve Beasts' will come again in the future. Do you have a strategy to deal with it?"

He said casually concerned.

Li Xinyu's face changed a few times and said: "Returning to Master, the daughter of Senior Cui Xu of Tianding City is a close friend of mine. We originally planned to go to Tianding City to seek refuge with her. Forgive the 'Twelve Beasts' if they continue to act rampantly. Dare to act recklessly in Tianding City."

"Then I'm relieved. How far is this place from Tianding City?" Meng Qi was muttering to himself at this time why there was no task prompt.

Is this task triggered? Should I go to Tianding City?

Li Xinyu took a breath and said, "Go down the river and we'll be there in another hour."

At this time, Zhang Zongxian seemed to have made up his mind and took out an old fur from his arms: "Master Zhending, my wife and I were too greedy before. How could we covet such a secret treasure? Please accept this source of trouble and eliminate our disaster."

Before, because the "Shen Monkey" had pointed out the treasure map, he chose to tell the truth instead of making up another lie about being hunted by the twelve beasts. Now, his reason has finally recovered, and he has overcome his greed and is unwilling to risk being robbed and killed by the monk in front of him.

Looking at the treasure map, Meng Qi smiled and said, "What's the point? If I were someone who coveted the treasure, I would kill him anyway to prevent the news from leaking out."

He was not used to calling himself a poor monk in every sentence.

Hearing this, Zhang Zongxian and Li Xinyu's faces turned pale. They had witnessed the fight between "Shen Monkey" and Master Zhending before, and believed that they were no match for the other party.

He looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, barely an adult, where did he get such terrible martial arts? Even if he had been practicing since his mother's womb, it would be impossible for him to kill a first-class master like slaughtering chickens and dogs!

Could it be that some old monster broke through the limit of the human body's secrets, touched the boundary between humans and gods advocated by the Snow God Palace, and rejuvenated?

"So, you go." Meng Qi paused, then looked up at the sky with a slightly blushing face: "Uh, copy a copy of the treasure map for me."

If the task is free, exploring the treasure should increase the task evaluation, and many things in it can be exchanged for good deeds.

This was his first time to travel the world in a "real sense". He had no similar experience in his "previous life", so he naturally couldn't rob and rob, and it didn't fit his character and bottom line.

"No, leaving it here will only bring disaster to my husband and me." Li Xinyu also said firmly.

Meng Qi waved his hand: "Without this treasure map, how can you live in Tianding City for a long time? Copy a copy and leave it."

In the matter of treasure hunting, someone always has to go ahead to explore the danger. It's not the best strategy to go into battle rashly. Besides, he may not have time to go.

Seeing Meng Qi's sincerity, Zhang Zongxian tore a piece of white cloth from a corpse and copied a copy with blood. Then he and his wife left the "original" on the deck, bowed and thanked again, put down the boat beside the ship, and went with the waves.

Meng Qi put away the treasure map and found that there was still no task prompt, so he squatted down with some distress and took off the mask of "Shen Monkey".

Behind the mask was a middle-aged monk with an extraordinary appearance, his face frozen with fear and panic.

Meng Qi searched his body and found only a strange token, which was neither gold nor wood, and was cold to the touch, with a laughing monkey head engraved on it.

"Is this the identity symbol of the 'Twelve Gods'?" Meng Qi tossed the token, and for a moment he felt playful, put on the mask, and walked back and forth.

Before crossing, he had a great interest in various mysterious organizations, especially those that were strange, secretive, powerful and terrifying.

"Well, in the future I will also establish a mysterious organization and be the mastermind behind the manipulation of the world..." Meng Qi liked to use this idea of ​​finding joy in suffering to ease his mood, "What should I call it, 'Saint Seiya of the Goddess'? This style is not right..."

Just then, a tired voice suddenly came from the river: "Is the one in front of you Mr. 'Shen Monkey' among the 'Twelve Gods'?"

"Ah?" Meng Qi was stunned for a moment, so he was regarded as "Shen Monkey"?

"I am Duan Xiangfei, and I have a mission for you, sir." A small boat came down the river, and an old man dressed as a Confucian scholar stood at the bow.

"Mr. Xianyin?" Meng Qi was quite surprised. It was Duan Xiangfei, one of the seven great masters! What could he not do by himself and needed to find the "Twelve Gods"?

If he denied his identity at this time, would Duan Xiangfei kill him?

Although Meng Qi was not afraid, he still decided to pretend carefully. When Duan Xiangfei left, he would throw away the mask. Where would he find it?

On the deck, blood suddenly flowed, and words were drawn:

"The main task is triggered. Pretend to be 'Shen Monkey', accept Duan Xiangfei's task, find the whereabouts of his son Duan Mingcheng, and complete the reward of 150 merits. Failure will deduct the corresponding merits."

"The side task is triggered. Infiltrate the 'Twelve Gods' and find out the secrets behind the scenes. Success will reward 150 merits, and failure will not be punished."
