Recalling the events of last night, Wu Fengyu was shocked and frightened, and didn't know why he was suddenly attacked.
After being stunned for a moment, he quickly groped his body, and now he didn't lose anything except for his night clothes, and there were no special injuries.
"What the hell is going on?" he was puzzled and panicked, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw a familiar face frowning at him.
Zhu Mingyuan...... Wu Fengyu was full of wit, this was the companion he was going to kill last night.
Zhu Mingyuan made a solemn face and said with a smile: "Old Wu, why are you sleeping here?
"I drank too much last night, and my coat was run away by that group of stinky flowers!" Wu Fengyu said with grinning teeth, and a terrible thought suddenly appeared in his heart, could it be that what happened to him last night was a warning, warning himself not to fight the idea of Zhu Mingyuan's family?
After having this idea, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, looking at Zhu Mingyuan's gaze, he couldn't help but be a little more cautious, he had the support of a master behind him?
Zhu Mingyuan looked at the unlost long knife next to Wu Fengyu, and sneered: "It seems that the loss of the dart makes you very distressed, I don't know how to face You Sanye?"
"Alas......" Wu Fengyu could only sigh for a long time, which only he could understand.
............
When the sky was slightly bright, Meng Qi found a dilapidated temple to place an order, and then slept for a long time to recover from the exhaustion of his spirit and the injuries on his **.
It wasn't until noon that he Shi Shiran went out, straddled the knife at his waist, found a restaurant that looked lively at random, and slowly paced in.
"Little Master, you've come to the right place, the food in our Dining House is a unique ...... in the whole city" As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Er greeted him warmly and introduced him with a crackling voice.
"Amitabha, find a quiet place for the poor monk, and then have four special dishes. Meng Qi has no special love for Zhai Cai, so he is not picky, and he mainly listens to the news of the market when he goes out - it can be seen from Xiao Er's attitude that the monks here seem to have directly abstained from meat, and there is no need to be noticeable when inquiring about the news.
"Okay!" Xiao Er shouted in a long voice, "One guest, four ...... of good food"
While shouting, he led Meng Qi to the corner, took off the white towel on his shoulder, and wiped the table again.
After Meng Qi sat down, he pretended to close his eyes and listen carefully to the conversation of the idlers nearby.
"Have you heard? Jin Ancheng of Tianxiang Building is dead!"
"What? 'Yama Soul Chaser' is dead?"
Feeling the consternation of his companions and the concentration of attention of the people nearby, the first person to speak said proudly: "Can this be fake? My brother-in-law is a fast arrester, and he followed Mr. Fei to check Jin Ancheng's body last night." ”
Hearing this, Meng Qi was slightly puzzled, Fei Zhengqing wanted to hide the cause of Jin Ancheng's death?
"How can I not believe you? I just feel very emotional, Jin Ancheng's nickname of 'Yama Soul Chaser' is piled up with human life, but he has repeatedly escaped death, I thought he could be safe and prosperous, and he will die of great wealth and nobility, but who knows that he is still one step behind, and the way of heaven is good, karma and retribution. A fat man dressed as a businessman said with a little joy.
"There are very few ** characters like them who can live in bed for the rest of their lives......"
"Hehe, now there is some trouble in Tianxianglou, and the Jin brothers are not fuel-efficient lamps. ”
The surrounding drinkers and idlers who heard the news whispered and talked about it.
The fat man dressed as a businessman asked, "Brother Cao, do you know how Jin Ancheng died?"
Bao Di, who was known as Brother Cao, coughed twice, and under the eager gaze, he slowly took a sip of the teacup, and pretended to be posturing before saying: "It was killed by the 'Shen Monkey' among the 'Twelve Beasts'." ”
"What? Twelve Beasts?"
"Shen Monkey?"
A cry of horror and dismay, as if the twelve beasts were life-seeking demons and the source of nightmares.
Meng Qi pursed his lips, Fei Zhengqing seemed to have put Jin Ancheng's death on his head to hide the black shadow that was suspected to be the remnant of the Snow God Palace, what was his purpose in doing this?
After a while, the merchant Jia steadied himself and said, "Brother Cao, is it really the Shen Monkey among the Twelve Beasts? Jin Ancheng is also a famous master in our five southern provinces, and there are not many people who can kill him." ”
The previous records of the twelve beasts were uneven, some were almost suspected of being grandmasters, and some had never killed a master of Jin Ancheng's level, Shen Monkey belonged to the latter category, so everyone was suspicious - all the twelve beasts made a move, as long as they were not in a hurry, they would all leave a mark, so that it had the name of shocking people's hearts.
"There was a monkey face left at the scene, and Kim Ancheng was also choked with a knife......" Brother Cao told the details.
A knife to seal the throat? I think this is to cover up the sword wound in the throat...... Meng Qi watched with a smile at the corner of his mouth as Xiao Er brought up the food, raised his chopsticks to taste it, it was also delicious, well, occasionally eating food, it can be regarded as clearing the stomach.
After a gasp, whispers continued:
"The twelve beasts are terrible, aren't they? Even the Golden Mansion Master was killed by them......"
"That's right, I've always heard that the Twelve Beasts are the weirdest, most mysterious and most terrifying organization in the rivers and lakes, I don't believe it yet, but when I see it today, it deserves its name!"
"They dare to commit crimes in Tianding City, aren't they afraid of angering the city lord?"
"It is said that Chenlong and Zirat may be grandmasters, and the twelve beasts have nothing to fear!"
"Tsk, don't mention Chenlong and Zi Mouse, I'm afraid that Shen Monkey's strength is not bad, Jin Ancheng is in our Tianding City, in the five southern provinces, he has always been a master who can rank in the top 20, Shen Monkey can easily kill him, and his strength is probably no less than that of Mr. Fei. ”
"Whatever, it's not something we can provoke anyway. ”
During the exchange, their fear of the Twelve Beasts against the Shen Monkey deepened several layers.
"I don't know why Shen Monkey wanted to kill Jin Ancheng?" asked the fat merchant Jia with great curiosity.
Brother Cao sneered: "The Twelve Beasts never reveal their missions, but Mr. Fei suspects that it is related to the previous disappearance of Duan Mingcheng Duan Gongzi, maybe there is some big secret hidden in this matter." ”
Regarding the case of Duan Mingcheng's disappearance, everyone was divided and did not give Meng Qi any inspiration, so he slowly finished tasting the food, checked out and left the restaurant, and headed towards the water gate in the north of the city.
The information provided by "Mr. Xianyin" Duan Xiangfei also has news about the remnants of the Snow God Palace, and it seems that he has secretly investigated it before.
Duan Xiang Feixian's Snow God Palace remnant is called Wu Cheng, who is the owner of a northern goods store near the Water Gate.
After crossing the Jinshui Bridge, it is the most prosperous area of Tianding City, and the street where Tianxianglou is located is located in it, but Meng Qi did not pass through there, but went around far away.
In the "North-South Pass" grocery store, Meng Qi held a string of sandalwood Buddhist beads, rubbed them carefully, and said to the shopkeeper with a smile: "This string of Buddhist beads is not bad, but I don't know if there is anything better?"
"Better?" the shopkeeper looked Meng Qi up and down, how good could he afford to be dressed by an ordinary monk?
Meng Qi grabbed the broken silver on his body, filled it with a handful, and the shopkeeper suddenly smiled: "It's not better than nothing, let me invite the owner." ”
This is a method that Duan Xiangfei has tried, once the goods pass a certain value, the shopkeeper will not be able to make self-determination, Wu Cheng will come out in person, and Meng Qi will just draw a gourd in the same way.
After a while, a man in his thirties with ordinary facial features and no one else walked out, holding a string of Buddhist beads with a smile and handing it to Meng Qi: "Little Master, this is made of agarwood in the South China Sea, and its function is to calm the mind and regulate qi." ”
Meng Qimo rubbed the Buddha beads, only to feel that the fragrance was tangy, thick but not annoying, which made people feel calm.
"Yes, I didn't expect that in addition to the northern goods, there are also Buddhist beads from the South China Sea. Meng Qi asked casually.
Wu Cheng kept smiling: "The north and the south are connected, and the north and south are naturally connected, can the little master be satisfied?"
"Very satisfied. Meng Qi felt that this was good for his own cultivation, and he did not refuse to buy it, and after looking Wu Cheng up and down, he said sternly: "Donor, the poor monk looks at your dark cloud cover, and there will be trouble in the near future." ”
The smile on Wu Cheng's face disappeared immediately, and he wanted to beat the crow-mouthed monk in front of him, hum, charlatan, if he believed it, he would definitely turn the Buddha beads into the key to eliminating disasters and solving problems.
He sank his face and said, "Wu has never believed in immortals and Buddhas, please go back, little master." ”
Meng Qi didn't say much, laughing so hard that Wu Cheng turned his head and left with a little cold.
Under normal circumstances, if you don't believe it, you have to scold it twice, but this Wu Cheng deliberately kept a low profile too much, but it was suspicious, and it was inconvenient during the day, so he would come to explore it at night.
After wandering around the street for a while, Meng Qi returned to the broken temple where the order was placed, and before he could get closer, he saw Zhang Zongxian pacing back and forth there.
"Master Zhang, do you have something to find a poor monk?" Meng Qi walked up.
Zhang Zongxian was shocked and said, "Master Zhending, City Lord Cui invites you to go to the mansion for a while. ”
"City Lord Cui?" Meng Qi was slightly surprised, he didn't expect it to be so fast.
Zhang Zongxian said with a bitter face: "Because Shen Monkey appeared again and killed the Lord of the Golden Building, Mage, you have fought with him, so the City Lord Cui and Mr. Fei want to ask you to ask if you can find any clues." ”
"Shen Monkey has appeared again? He was stabbed by a poor monk, and his injuries are not light!" Meng Qi looked shocked, this was the reaction he had already figured out.
Zhang Zongxian looked at Meng Qi with a slightly strange gaze: "Mage, I don't think it's like it, even if that knife can't kill Shen Monkey, I'm afraid it can make him lie down for ten days and half a month, could it be someone pretending?"
"Maybe Shen Monkey also has kung fu in his body, but the poor monk has neglected it. Meng Qi said a word, and then asked Zhang Zongxian, "Master Zhang, can you tell the city lord Cui in detail about the battle between the poor monk and the Shen monkey?"
If Zhang Zongxian sued Cui Xu, Fei Zhengqing and others for their outstanding swordsmanship, and had exercises similar to Tong Zigong, and almost killed Shen Monkey, then Fei Zhengqing, an old Jianghu old catcher, knew with his toes that the Shen Monkey last night was pretending to be himself.
Zhang Zongxian shook his head: "This is the secret of the mage, and he didn't dare to say anything about it, so he was too flustered at the time, and only saw that the mage slashed the lower abdomen of the monkey with the last knife. ”
Meng Qi glanced at Zhang Zongxian deeply, and seeing that his eyes were calm, he sighed and said, "The poor monk will go to the City Lord's Mansion with Master Zhang." ”
For people like Gu Xiaosang, Zhang Zongxian and his wife have already died a hundred times because they want to prevent secret leaks, but they can't do it, anyway, the main task has been taken, as long as Duan Mingcheng's whereabouts are found, whether or not the identity of Shen Monkey is completed, so if Zhang Zongxian and his wife accidentally leak it, it doesn't matter, but they can't find a chance to complete the side quest.
