Hearing the persuasion of the five elders, Meng Qi's expression was obviously a little shaken, but it was not enough for her to have the determination to stay, but this change in expression made the five elders see hope, and he continued to say: "Besides, once you become the patriarch, isn't it easier to find out the real cause of death for the patriarch and his wife, or to avenge the patriarch's wife?" Also, although the patriarch died suddenly and didn't leave a word, don't you want to know some of his thoughts in recent years? Both the patriarch and his wife had the habit of recording codexes, and although they recorded the cultivation methods of some plants, they could also reflect their moods and thoughts when writing the codex, as well as their expectations, didn't they? ”

Meng Qi pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said to the Fifth Elder, "You asked me to think about it, I'm in a mess right now!" ”

"Okay, don't worry, don't rush this!" The fifth elder knew that this was not a matter of urgency, so he hurriedly said, "By the way, there are exactly two bedrooms here, which can be lived in, and a month's worth of food has been prepared in the kitchen in the backyard, you and the scorpion seniors will live here first, and I will come to see you often!" ”

"Then thank you, Fifth Elder!" Meng Qi immediately said with a grateful face.

"Yes, my ability is limited, and that's all I can do for the patriarch and his wife!" The Fifth Elder sighed lightly, stood up and smiled bitterly, "Okay, I'm going back too, I think Hua Nu should have already told the Great Elder about me saving you, I should go back and face it!" ”

"Fifth Elder, I'm sorry, I've bothered you!" Meng Qi said guiltily.

"Don't worry, the current situation is extremely tense for the Great Elders, and any mistake will lead to a loss. They're not going to do anything to me now. What's more, it's you for this reason! The fifth elder said solemnly.

"I can't do it openly, though. But the cold arrows in the back are still not careful. Villains, for villains, one thing is certain, that is, they will never let you go lightly, or Meng Qi! The scorpion then stood up and said solemnly, "I'll send you back!" Just go find that Meng Er for a while! ”

"Senior, you want," the fifth elder said flatteredly.

"Let the scorpion accompany you back. If you or your family are hurt in order to save me, I will be upset! Meng Qi hurriedly said, then turned his head to look at the scorpion and beckoned, "Then please leave it to you, I owe you a favor again!" ”

"Sisters, you will see the outside world when you say this, have you forgotten? You're going to help me find that thing! The scorpion smiled with relief.

Meng Qi also showed a long-lost smile at the scorpion, and said sincerely: "Scorpion, it's good to know you!" ”

The scorpion nodded. One qiē is all in the words!

As soon as he walked out of the small courtyard, the scorpion turned around. I saw Meng Qi walking out of the bamboo house, busy in front of the house and behind the house, remembering what her mother-in-law said to Meng Qi before leaving, presumably Meng Qi was doing the necessary defense, the scorpion sighed softly: "Meng Qi, this girl, is really careful!" Everything is done with care! ”

"Maybe it's because she doesn't have a sense of smell!" The Fifth Elder said regretfully, "I think it was because she didn't have a sense of smell that allowed her to resist the Twelve Flower Slave's drunken fragrant flowers, and it also greatly reduced the Twelve Flower Slave's subsequent attacks!" ”

"Hehe, if you let those twelve flower slaves know that they are dealing with a person who has no sense of smell at all, they will regret it so much that they will even have the heart to bite their tongues and commit suicide!" The scorpion snorted and laughed.

"Cultivators are different from ordinary martial artists, their mental power is very weak, and their sense of hearing is not as sensitive as that of ordinary martial artists, they mainly rely on their sense of smell to identify danger, so the current eldest lady can be said to have no ability to recognize danger, so she must make arrangements in advance!" The Fifth Elder continued to explain.

"You really want Meng Qi to be the patriarch?"

The scorpion's sudden jumping question made the five elders slightly stunned. After a while, the fifth elder smiled bitterly and said, "Of course, not to mention for the sake of the old patriarch, for the sake of the family's great principles, as far as I am concerned, I also hope that the eldest lady will be the next patriarch." I don't have any power in the family now, the dispute between the two patriarchs, and there is no one to win me over, do you say there is anyone who is worse than me? With the name of an elder and his strength, his family is even poorer than the average deacon of the Meng family, and sometimes he feels extremely depressed when he thinks about it! Everyone calls me Elder Xiaoyao, but who the fuck wants to be free! However, now, the appearance of the eldest lady can change my qiē, I am the first and only one who supports the eldest lady, and there is a life-saving grace for the eldest lady, once the eldest lady becomes the patriarch, the tide rises, and my status will naturally go up! Such a great opportunity, can I not want it? ”

"You're very honest!" The scorpion smiled faintly.

"You have the ability to pry people's heads open, how can I deceive you!" The Fifth Elder said.

"I also want Meng Qi to be the patriarch!" The scorpion said bluntly.

The fifth elder was shocked, looked at the scorpion with a look of surprise, and asked, "Could it be that the senior is?"

The scorpion looked at the expression of the five elders, and combined with what he said before, he knew what the five elders were thinking in their hearts, smiled and explained: "Don't worry, I don't belong to any outside family, I can be regarded as a wandering martial artist with no sect and no sect, and my acquaintance with Meng Qi is also a chance." There is no bad purpose for your family, and my origin Meng Qi is very clear. ”

"No, no, no, senior, that's not what I meant!" The Fifth Elder immediately realized his gaffe and hurriedly explained.

"It's okay, it's good if things are clear. Meng Qi, it has not been easy to live these years, and I also want her to return to the family and settle down! The scorpion said lightly, her tone was sincere, and she didn't leak, so that people couldn't hear that she had the slightest selfishness.

"That means my seniors will help me persuade the eldest lady?" The Fifth Elder immediately asked in surprise.

"Meng Qi is more assertive than you think, it is not possible to persuade with words, the key is to find out the cause of her parents' death!" The scorpion replied.

"Okay, when I go back and explain twice, I will take you to the place where Meng Er lives, Meng Er's strength is average, and it is easy to catch him!" The fifth elder said with great interest.

"Then thank you to the Fifth Elder for your help!" The scorpion replied.

They talked happily all the way, and before they knew it, they arrived at the mansion of the five elders, and when they arrived at the door of the mansion, they saw that the red lacquer gate was open, and the five elders suddenly glanced at the scorpion in horror, and ran towards the mansion with their legs, and the scorpion followed.

All the way to the hall, I saw in the hall that the five elders and dozens of people were all tied up in the hall, and on the chair in the middle of the hall, Meng Er sat crookedly, and there were four big men standing beside Meng Er in addition to the two lines of subordinates.

"Fifth Elder, are you finally back? What about Meng Qi's little girl? Why don't you bring her back with you? Seeing the Fifth Elder and the Scorpion walking into the hall, Meng Er asked.

"Meng Er, what do you mean by this?" The fifth elder was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, his red eyes were staring at Meng Er, and he asked as if he was about to eat people.

"It's not interesting, don't worry, so far, you Meng Ye and I haven't touched your family at all, but my master has ordered, let me ask the whereabouts of Meng Qi's little girl from your mouth, if you insist on maintaining that girl and keep your mouth shut, then Meng Ye has no choice but to kill one at the speed of half a pillar of incense, forcing you to say it!" Meng Er saw the excited appearance of the fifth elder, and his heart was very happy, and he said deliberately relaxed.

"You dead dog!" The fifth elder couldn't bear it anymore, drew his sword and pointed at Meng Er, and scolded angrily.

"Wait, Fifth Elder, you need to see clearly! What are they bound to? Meng Er had no fear on his face, but pointed to the rope that bound the old man of the Fifth Elder even more proudly and said, "My master knows that I, Meng Er, is not the opponent of your Fifth Elder, so he specially sent a helper to me, the four of them are not inferior to the Twelve Flower Slaves!" ”

The scorpion glanced at the rope, it was obviously an ordinary hemp rope, and he couldn't see anything unusual at all, so he couldn't help but ask, "What's going on with that rope?" ”

"It's a medium-grown vine, and the roots are right where my family sits, and the vine moves as it pleases. They have the ability to connect with their masters, and as long as the master's mind gives the slightest instruction, they will tighten or loosen. In other words, if I make the slightest move, they will strangle my family to death before I do it, without even warning! The fifth elder said helplessly.

"Did those four people send it?" The scorpion asked.

"It should be one of the four of them, but I don't know which one!" The Fifth Elder said.

The scorpion smiled disdainfully, and said: "Don't worry, I'll help you get it, I really didn't expect to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to go, so Meng Er actually sent it to the door!" ”

"What are you laughing at, you sissy? It's so fragrant, it looks like a woman, and I hate it when I see it! Laugh again, Meng Ye even helped you out" Meng Er glared at the scorpion in disgust. Then he commanded loudly, "Light incense!" ”

At the first time, one of his subordinates brought an incense burner and lit incense.

"Fifth Elder, now you can start thinking about whether or not to sue me, remember, you can't think about it for long! This incense waits for no one! Meng Er said angrily.

As soon as Meng Er's voice fell, he saw the scorpion wave his hand slightly, and the incense broke off and was extinguished in a pile of incense ashes.

"You" Meng Er didn't expect the scorpion to make such a move, as if he was sitting on a spring, he stood up suddenly, and roared angrily, but just as he was about to scold, he regained that flat smile on his face, sat down slowly, and said unhurriedly, "Okay, give you a chance, don't you?" Then I'll kill one and try it, who will I kill? As he spoke, Meng Er's fingers pointed randomly among the group of people sitting in the hall, and finally settled on the head of an old man in the twilight, and continued, "Let's start with the old lady!" It is rumored that the Fifth Elder is a great filial son! (To be continued......)
