Chapter 59 Remuneration

Standing at the bow of the boat, Duan Xiangfei had a pale face and a leisurely temperament. He looked more like a learned scholar than a master of martial arts. However, at this time, his face showed deep fatigue, and he could not hide the helpless wrinkles between his eyebrows.

"It's the old man." He cupped his hands and sighed. The boat under his feet seemed to have been loaded with huge rocks. It sank suddenly, and its speed immediately slowed down, and it sailed parallel to the boat where Meng Qi was.

Meng Qi narrowed his eyes and assessed the strength of the seven great masters. From this move alone, he could tell that if he didn't use all his cards, he might not be able to get a good deal, and his level would be far behind: "Mr. Xianyin is Are you kidding me? Is there anything in the world that you can't do?"

He learned the method of "Shen Hou" before, deliberately lowering his voice and speaking in a hoarse voice, so that he would not be afraid of being heard by acquaintances. Anyway, "Shen Hou" also used a falsetto.

Duan Xiangfei shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Manpower is sometimes poor. The world is so big that there are countless things that the old man has nothing to do about. At least this time is fleeting. Beauty is old and cannot be saved by manpower. Mr. Shenhou, if the old man is not forced to do so, , why have you ever wanted to deal with your ‘Twelve Phase Gods’?”

"Hey, I'm a little interested in something that can make Mr. Xianyin helpless." Meng Qi will naturally take it on if he has a task, but he can't act too eager to avoid Duan Xiangfei's suspicion and all his previous efforts will be wasted.

Duan Xiangfei sighed: "The old man got a son, but he pampered him too much, making him incompetent in literature and military affairs. He only likes to have friends and company, and is extravagant and licentious. If this continues, it will be okay. The old man has his own family business and ability. Let him squander, who would have thought that misfortune would come from the sky. Half a year ago, Quanzi disappeared in Tianding City, and there has been no news since. Mr. Shenhou should have heard about this. I hope that Mr. Shenhou will accept the request, find the unfilial son, and give birth to him. If you want to see a person, you want to see a corpse."

When he said the last eight words, his face twitched slightly.

Meng Qi listened and felt something was wrong: "Mr. Xianyin, with your martial arts strength and status in the world, if you let the word out, I don't know how many heroes are willing to help. If there is a manipulator behind the scenes, how can he be your opponent?"

Duan Xiangfei was silent for a moment, then said with a bitter smile full of vicissitudes of life: "If you can do this, why would I do everything possible to find out your whereabouts?"

He raised his right hand, revealing a palm without five fingers: "Most of what I have learned in my life is swordsmanship, but five years ago, I missed a move and had five fingers on my right hand cut off. If this news spreads, , it is inevitable that enemies will come to visit, so after Quanzi disappeared, the old man pretended to be angry, accusing him of not taking the right path and bringing his own consequences, and severed the father-son relationship with him. He also refused any requests on the excuse that he had already washed his hands of trouble. "

"Of course, the old man has finally reached this level. If an enemy really comes to visit, we can still die together."

He spoke calmly, as if he was telling someone else's story, and then smiled and said: "For the sake of that unfilial son, I have to take a little risk and tell the matter to my husband. Alas, when you get old, you don't care about your status in the world. , The martial arts strength has been underestimated, and I just want my descendants to be safe and free from disasters. "

"Someone can actually cut off the five fingers on Mr.'s right hand?" Meng Qi asked in slight shock. If he were "Shenhou" here, he would probably have a similar reaction. As one of the seven great masters in the world, Duan Xiangfei's strength is definitely the best. At a certain level, someone would actually cut off the five fingers on his right hand and destroy the swordsmanship he had practiced hard for many years. How terrifying would his opponent be?

Duan Xiangfei narrowed his eyes slightly and gained a bit of the aura of dominating the world: "I didn't know that there could be such a master in this world. He should have opened three major secrets, which is close to the boundary between humans and gods..."

"I wonder who Mr. Xianyin is? How can such a person be unknown in the world?" Meng Qi asked doubtfully.

Duan Xiangfei shook his head: "This man suddenly jumped out of the stone. He had no reputation before the competition with me, and then disappeared after the competition. He is not any of the famous masters. It is really weird. This is different from you." The 'Twelve Phase Gods' are somewhat similar. Haha, I even suspected that he was the 'Chen Long' who is the leader of your 'Twelve Phase Gods'."

"I don't know this..." Meng Qi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. He had an unknown origin and no reputation. He did something and then disappeared. Why does this description feel so familiar? Wait, this, isn’t this the kind of person I am? The reincarnation that comes to complete the mission!

The more Meng Qi thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. For example, Gu Xiaosang was obviously not on the same team as him and others, and had his own reincarnation space. However, something went wrong later. To prevent accidents, he relied on a mysterious item to temporarily become Newcomers.

Well, five years ago, and later disappeared, this reincarnation must have completed its mission and left, so there is no need to worry.

Duan Xiangfei was not trying to find out who the person he was fighting against was. After explaining his reasons, he said bluntly: "Mr. Shenhou, I wonder what kind of reward you need before you are willing to take on the task?"

Meng Qi didn't know the "charging standard" of the "Twelve Phase God", so he could only laugh strangely: "It depends on what Mr. Xianyin can afford?"

"The most precious thing I have is naturally my martial arts knowledge. If Mr. Shenhou doesn't dislike it, after the event is completed, I am willing to make a copy of "Guanlan Jue", "White Horse Crossing the Gap Sword Technique" and many years of experience to Mr. "

"Years of experience? Including the secrets of the human body?" Meng Qi already knew from Duan Xiangfei's previous words that there are three secrets in the human body. This is different from the cultivation method of the awakening stage. For people in this world, Find another way. Even if you choose the golden bell and the path of enlightenment, you may not be able to open the secrets in the future. It is also good to look at the paths of others. After all, you can learn from the strengths of others, explore the essence, and use the stones of others to attack your own jade. .

And they can all be exchanged for good deeds! This is an additional benefit brought by the main mission!

Duan Xiangfei smiled tiredly: "Of course, there will be insights into opening the 'Secret of Vitality' and 'Secret of Energy'. As for the 'Secret of Spirit', I haven't opened it myself, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help."

He knew that what a first-class master like "Shen Hou" most urgently needed was the experience of unlocking the secrets of the human body and the method of cultivation, so he was not afraid that he would not be tempted.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Xianyin has already opened two major secrets. He is also the best among the masters." Meng Qi praised insincerely in order to find out more information - he had seen Duoercha's actions between The wind is surging, the lightning is thundering, the master who is close to the gods and demons, and his master is countless times more powerful than Doercha. Naturally, he can't really admire the so-called master.

Duan Xiangfei sighed and said with a smile: "No, no, among the three major secrets, the 'Spiritual Secret' is the most difficult to open. It involves the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows. It is mysterious and mysterious. Once it is opened, it is almost as good as gods and demons. It can be opened without using hands." Killing people is just like Old Man Cui. Even if he only opens one secret vault, the old man can at best be on par with him. "

"Mr. Shenhou, what do you think? Are you willing to take over the mission?"

"Not any reward can make people excited." Meng Qi said in a pretentious manner, standing with his hands behind his back, his monk's robes fluttering, and he seemed a bit out of the world.

Duan Xiangfei narrowed his eyes and said, "Then what can make you excited?"

"Actually, I'm already very excited, but there's still a little bit left. I have a merciless request." The monkey-head mask on Meng Qi's face always showed a smile.

Duan Xiangfei seemed to be relieved: "I wonder what the request is?"

"Please also ask Mr. Xianyin to collect some secrets. It doesn't need to be too advanced, just ordinary. The more, the better." Meng Qi planned to exchange it for the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation. Although it would definitely be sold very cheaply by then, but the accumulation was small. To make a lot of money, you still have to have hundreds of good deeds.

Of course, a martial art can only be redeemed once.

Duan Xiangfei frowned, wondering what "Shen Hou" meant by making this request. He pondered for a moment and said, "This request is not difficult. I agree."

"Then it's a deal." As he nodded, the monkey-head mask on Meng Qi's face became even more comical.

Duan Xiangfei let out a long sigh: "Mr. Shenhou agreed so readily, which is a bit beyond my expectation. It saves me a lot of trouble. Let's do it this way. After everything is done, I will give you another gift. Although it is not expensive, it is valuable. The old and beloved thing is somewhat mysterious.”

"I wonder what it is?" Meng Qi asked curiously.

Duan Xiangfei chuckled: "You will know when it happens."

As he spoke, he threw a package to Meng Qi: "This is the person Quanzi came into contact with before he disappeared."

Then the boat suddenly accelerated under his feet, went down the river, and disappeared on the vast river.

Meng Qi caught the package and touched his chin in confusion. Didn't the "Twelve Phase Gods" accept a "deposit" even if they accepted the mission?

Naturally, the dead "Shen Monkey" couldn't answer this question.

However, he also let go of a huge stone in his heart. When he was bargaining to increase the demand, he had actually been on tenterhooks. If Duan Xiangfei felt that the demand was too high and wanted to find another fortune teller, then he would have no choice but to cry and jump off the building for a sale. , after all, this is the main mission.

"Tianding City, I didn't expect that if I really want to go to Tianding City, I have to go to see Zhang Zongxian and his wife..." Meng Qi thought while looking at the rolling river in the dark night. They knew that "Shen Monkey" had been killed, so Find a way to put this matter to rest.

After flipping through the information Duan Xiangfei gave him, he searched out the scraps of silver from "Shenhou" and the many corpses on the deck, put them into his arms, then found ballast stones, tied "Shenhou"'s body to it, and pushed it Entered the river.

Poof, after the waves rolled a few times, the "Shen Monkey" disappeared completely.

After doing all this, Meng Qi hid the mask and token, put down the boat on the other side, and went down the river.

The river wind was blowing against the bow of the boat, and the boat was bumping severely. Meng Qi, who was standing with his hands behind his hands, felt very elegant. His only regret was that he could not cross the river with a reed.

An hour later, Meng Qi arrived at Tianding City, which was built on the riverside like a giant dragon.

Because it was late at night and the water gate of Tianding City was closed, Meng Qi disembarked directly at the dock outside the city.

Before taking a few steps forward, Meng Qi's eyes lit up because Zhang Zongxian and Li Xinyu were talking to a girl in red by the water gate.

"Amitabha, fate comes and goes, but the poor monk has a fate with the two donors." Meng Qi announced the Buddha's name from a distance.

Zhang Zongxian turned around, wondering whether he was surprised, happy or confused: "Master Zhending, have you also come to Tianding City?"

Li Xinyu turned her head and bit her ears with the delicate and pretty girl in red.

"The poor monk came here specifically to chase the two donors. Because the 'Shen Monkey' was not dead, he pretended to be dead and deceived us. Later, when the poor monk was unprepared, he entered the water and fled." Meng Qi opened his eyes and told lies. , "Therefore, the poor monk came to remind the two donors to be more careful and not to publicize this matter, so as not to attract even more crazy revenge from the 'Twelve Beasts'."

“Thank you for coming to remind me, Master.” Zhang Zongxian was sincerely grateful, because he didn’t think there was any need to lie about this matter. He never thought that the master in front of him would pretend to be “Shen Monkey”, so he said this.

After biting his ear, the girl in red looked at Meng Qi with interest: “Master Zhending, I am Cui Jinxiu. After receiving the notification, I came to greet Sister Xinyu and her husband. I just heard about you. I didn’t expect that you were so young, but you could defeat the Shen Monkey among the ‘Twelve Beasts’. I feel a little itchy. Please teach me a few tricks.”

Beside her was a white-haired old man, with his eyebrows and eyes lowered, as if he was counting ants on the ground.
