Chapter Seventy-Four: The Dungeon
The City Lord's Mansion covers an extremely wide area, almost half of the south of the city, and contains a school field for the Cui family and the children of close families to practice martial arts.
The school field is paved with bluestone, facing the sky, and the east side is a stone platform with a height of one zhang, which is the place where the elders watch martial arts and comment on weekdays.
Today, the scorching sun is in the sky, there are no clouds, and the ten-zhang long stone platform is full of Taishi chairs, and many martial arts celebrities and seniors are already seated, and behind them are their own disciples or juniors.
This is to allow them to have a glimpse of the style of the battle of the grandmasters, understand the true essence of martial arts more, and take fewer detours.
When Meng Qi arrived with Ning Daogu and others, it was already empty, and it was only half an hour before the competition, Cui Xu was dressed in a plain robe, with a wooden hairpin on his head, sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, and his long sword across his knees, which was incompatible with the surrounding hustle and bustle, self-contained, and quiet.
Guarding in front of the steps were two Cui family disciples, after taking the invitation in Meng Qi's hand, they looked through it, and said loudly: "Master Zhending has arrived!"
Suddenly, the eyes on the stage were projected, and many martial arts celebrities whispered in surprise:
"He's really determined?"
"Isn't it too young, isn't it?
"I heard that even the invincible Shen Monkey almost lost his life?"
"It's unimaginable, it's unimaginable! Is it really a hero out of a teenager?"
"Alas, the back waves of the great river push the front waves. ”
Hearing these words, Meng Qi's heart was dark, but he didn't move on the surface, whispered the Buddha's name, walked up the steps slowly, and found his seat under the guidance of the maidservant, looking indifferent.
Ning Daogu, Le Shishi and other Jiangnan Siying followed behind Meng Qi, their skin was tense, their steps were vain, and their hearts were so excited that they were about to jump out.
There are so many big faction leaders, so many predecessors and celebrities, they can't even see each other tomorrow, but now they are close at hand, how can they not be excited, how can they not be nervous, how can they not be excited?
Even if there is no battle of the grandmasters, this experience alone makes them feel that the trip is worthwhile, which is also a "qualification" in the rivers and lakes, at least they are familiar in front of the seniors!
That's the head of the Dragon You Sect...... That's the chief scoop of the eighteen waterways in the south...... One by one, famous figures appeared in the sight of Le Shishi and others, and they held back their excitement, lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, and followed Meng Qi without squinting.
After looking at Meng Qi for a while, the martial arts celebrities withdrew their gaze one after another, and they discussed the matter, from time to time someone arrived, was greeted by the maidservant, and from time to time someone left, went to the door to watch the whereabouts of the white-clothed sword god, the scene seemed a little random and chaotic, after all, they were all noble people, Cui Xu closed his eyes and was silent, Cui Jinxiu and Fei Zhengqing alone couldn't suppress the scene at all.
In such a situation, Meng Qi suddenly got up and said to the maid with a smile: "The poor monk wants convenience, but I don't know where to go?"
The maidservant was quite surprised, she always felt that the seniors would not have similar "needs" on such occasions, and Ning Daogu, Nie Yao and the others also had similar expressions.
Surprised to surprised, the maid still led Meng Qi to the courtyard, pointed to the toilet and said, "Master, that's it, do you remember the way back?"
"Remember, you don't have to wait for me. Meng Qi replied unhurriedly.
The maidservant hurried back to serve the other distinguished guests, and left in a hurry without saying anything.
Meng Qi took a deep breath, spread out his body, dodged the servants in the courtyards, and dived in the direction of the dungeon that You Tongguang said.
Perhaps because it was broad daylight, everyone's vigilance was not high, and Meng Qishun passed through the most lively courtyard and arrived at the dungeon in the southwest.
A tree has been planted to separate the dungeon from the inner courtyard, making it look rather eerie.
The exterior walls of the dungeon were made of boulders, and heavy iron doors separated the inside and outside, and the doorway was guarded by two fierce men with knives.
Meng Qi picked up a stone, flicked his fingers, and hit the wall on the other side.
The snap made the caretaker turn their heads at the same time to look at the place where the sound came from.
At this moment, Meng Qi spread his wings like a great peng, quickly pounced in front of them, and hit them on the head with both fists.
Bang, Meng Qi couldn't call the fist as big as the sand bowl as powerful, and directly knocked the two to the ground and fainted.
After leaning over and lighting their holes and dragging them into the woods, Meng Qi swaggered to the iron door, buckled the knocker, and knocked on it.
The sound is very rhythmic, three long and two short, and this is repeated three times.
After a few moments, the iron door creaked heavily and slowly retreated towards the back.
After the gate was opened slightly, the gap between the people inside and guò appeared, but what about the people guarding the door? Who is the white-clothed monk who is quite out of the dust?
They reacted so quickly that they were about to close the iron door again.
Meng Qi slapped his palms out, pressed them on the iron door, and pushed forward with all his might.
"Open it for me!"
Meng Qi let out a low snort, his skin was dark gold, and the muscles of his arms swelled.
The two of them stumbled backwards behind the door, unable to stop the iron door from opening at all.
It's too violent! It's too barbaric!
Just now I thought he was a high-ranking monk who had achieved the Tao of the world, and he was a handsome and free monk, but now it seems that he is a barbarian!
The two behind the door looked at Meng Qi's face that looked a little hideous because of his full strength, and had a feeling that they had been deceived by his appearance just now.
Meng Qi jumped into the dungeon, sealed their acupuncture before the two called for help, searched for the key, knocked him unconscious, and threw it aside.
"It's really damaging to the image. Meng Qi flicked the white monk's robe, clenched the ring knife, sped up, and ran down the stairs.
Along the way, Meng Qi had a clear goal, that is, at the bottom of the dungeon, and the people he encountered were either stunned by the back of the knife or sealed the acupoints, and there was no enemy.
Maybe he didn't expect someone to break into the dungeon, the jailers and guards scattered everywhere could not form an effective assembly, resulting in a joint advantage, plus Meng Qi's body was weird, so he quickly broke through, without stirring up a trace of waves, and outside the route, he didn't even know that something was going on here.
After three floors in a row, Meng Qi saw the narrow iron door described by You Tongguang, and then found the key on the guard next to him, inserted it and opened it.
When he touched this iron door, Meng Qi felt a chill in his right hand, as if it was not a dungeon, but an ice cellar.
Of course, this had no effect on Meng Qi, who had endured the cold turtle's freezing intent, and with a slight push, the iron door slowly opened.
Behind the iron gate, the frost condensed, and streams of cold air tumbled up the narrow corridor from the bottom.
Meng Qi's face was calm, and he rushed directly into the Yongdao and went to the bottom.
This corridor is about ten zhang long, and Meng Qi saw the bottom scene in a few breaths.
It was indeed an ice cellar, with a square of ice cubes, shining with a magnificent and dreamy color under the light of torches on both sides of the road, and among the ice cubes, there was a green jade coffin, glowing with a faint light.
Meng Qi frowned slightly and slowed down, because there was a person standing at the exit of the narrow corridor, he was white, his face was ruddy, and he always had a kind smile, just like You Tongguang!
Behind him, a young man was lying, his eyes were closed, his face was blue, and there was a faint white gas coming out of his head.
"You're here. You Tongguang greeted with a smile.
Before him and Meng Qi, there was a transparent and imperceptible ice wall, separating the inside and outside.
Meng Qi was neither shocked nor angry, and replied plainly: "I'm here." ”
"Look at you, you seem to know something. You Tongguang put his hands behind his back and was still smiling.
Meng Qi stroked the ring knife and slowly spoke: "I know everything I should know." ”
"I know there may be a trap, why do you want to come?" You Tongguang stretched out his hands.
Meng Qici smiled: "I have to come." ”
"Do you regret it now?" You Tongguang didn't ask why Meng Qi had to come.
Meng Qi sighed: "Some tests are aimed at your courage and judgment. ”
"Your courage is commendable, but your judgment seems to be inaccurate. You Tongguang sneered.
Meng Qi shook his head: "I've been wondering why the other Xiangshen gods can be sure that Shen Monkey is a fake, and why they will believe that I have the ability to threaten the white-clothed sword god." ”
"Then have you figured it out?" You Tongguang's smile faded.
"Of course, Mr. Rat. Meng Qi stared at You Tongguang's eyes.
You Tongguang took a light breath: "Actually, I haven't understood why the fifth brother is so sure that you can threaten Luo Qing, but since he said so, we have to believe it, can you sue me why?"
"Didn't I sue you, I have something to save my life, City Lord Cui, well, it's also Mr. Chenlong, did you retreat?" Meng Qi saw that he didn't know about the rainstorm pear flower needle, how could he sue him stupidly.
It is precisely because of the fact that Xiangshen used himself to deal with Luo Qing that Meng Qi connected the Twelve Xiangshen with Grandmaster Cui Xu for the first time, and among the two abilities that he can threaten the grandmaster, the "Breaking Clean" knife technique has not yet been used, and the rainstorm pear flower needle has only appeared once, only the black shadow has seen it, and the black shadow, Meng Qi After analysis, he felt that there was a good chance that it was Cui Xu.
Thinking about it this way, things became simple and clear, from the very beginning, they knew that Shen Monkey was fake, because no one would be stupid to deal with "their own family", and the temptation the next day was purely a show, one was to make themselves unexpected, most of the people who were tempted at that time were Xiangshen, and the other was to weigh their martial arts.
However, Cui Xu's judgment was wrong, and he initially eliminated sensory interference by breaking off the pure sword intent, and did not use the Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle, therefore, Luo Qing basically did not lose his combat power, but he just lost the first move, and he was caught off guard - at that time, they had to make a move, because Luo Qing's sword move was slow, and they could escape far away after blocking, and when the time came, Luo Qing would not even give them a chance to be caught off guard.
Without waiting for You Tongguang to answer, Meng Qi continued to speak: "I didn't expect Chenlong to be the Cui City Lord, no wonder it was the Grandmaster." ”
"Alas, since Xiao Min's death, the fifth brother's whole person has changed, nagging all day long about the boundaries between man and god, what is the resurrection of death, and then he came up with this 'Twelve Phases God' organization to collect martial arts secrets. You Tongguang sighed, "What else can we say as brothers? No matter what, we will support him, and we can also get a lot of benefits." ”
At this time, Meng Qi saw the cold air rolling behind You Tongguang, and condensed a few lines of text:
"Failed to blend into the Twelve Phases God. ”
"The investigation has clarified the secrets of the Twelve Phases God. ”
"The side quest is judged to be completed, and one hundred and fifty merits will be rewarded. ”
"The second touch of the side quest, kill the rat, reward sixty merits, kill Chenlong, reward one hundred and twenty merits. ”
The smile on Meng Qi's face became a little sincere: "You laid such a big trap, it shouldn't be to deal with me, a little monk, right?"
You Tongguang nodded and looked behind Meng Qi: "Mr. Xianyin, come out." ”
