Chapter Seventy-One: Poor Third Master You
The sky was getting darker, and when Meng Qi stepped into the temple's Zen courtyard, he saw that it was a mess inside, with footprints all over the ground.
"Master Zhending, are you back?" Ning Daogu and the others sat around the stone table and stood up in surprise to greet them.
Meng Qi had already changed back into a gray monk's robe, and said with a smile: "Amitabha, I have worked hard for the four donors today. ”
No need to ask, he could guess from the situation in the courtyard that there were indispensable people coming to challenge him in the past two days, but they were all blocked by Ning Daogu, Le Shishi and others.
"Where, it's just a matter of raising your hands. The four replied in unison.
Meng Qi smiled and said: "My Buddhism pays attention to the theory of cause and effect, if the 'Battle of the Grandmasters' the day after tomorrow invites the poor monks to watch the battle, the four donors will be wronged to be the retinue of the poor monks." ”
"Really?" Le Shishi and Nie Yao were surprised, if they could watch the battle of the grandmaster, even if they didn't get anything, it would be enough to boast for many years.
Ning Daogu and Ji Xin came back to their senses faster and saluted respectfully, "Thank you, Master." ”
Meng Qi gently bowed, entered his meditation room, and heard Sixiao's low voice, chattering excitedly.
"Alas, why didn't I have such a green time in the rivers and lakes...... Meng Qi sighed pretending to be vicissitudes, and then sat cross-legged on the futon, carefully combing through the events and clues of the past few days.
Although he knew that the most critical thing at this time was to "monitor" You Hongbo and wait for another god to throw himself into the net, he was not in a hurry, because after the incident of the monkey stealing the Buddha, the entire You Mansion was in a very vigilant state, and You Hongbo also began to live in a simple state, often following You Tongguang's side, so as not to have accidents, so Meng Qi believed that if they did not prepare in advance, unless Chen Long personally took action, they would not be able to arrest You Hongbo for a while.
Moreover, Meng Qi thought to himself, change to himself, the best time to capture You Hongbo is tomorrow night, and when Shen Monkey steals the Buddha and attracts all the attention, he can kidnap You Hongbo unconsciously.
Of course, this is just Meng Qi's own judgment, and it will not be "imposed" on the other Xiangshen, the ghost knows what they think, so from tonight onwards, you Hongbo will have to be monitored until the Xiangshen appears or at the last moment.
"The black shadow of that night, according to the Han Envoy, may be a master who has cultivated the 'Illusion **', or it may be a master who has condensed the Eyebrow Ancestral Technique and opened the Spiritual Secret, and the first article of 'Illusion **' can confirm that this miracle skill is indeed a practice for cultivating the Eyebrow Heart Ancestral Technique, so the Cold Envoy did not lie about this, unless he knew another technique for cultivating the Eyebrow Heart Ancestral Technique, with his strength, this may almost not exist. ”
Meng Qi began to ponder which were the truths that could be believed and which were the lies that needed to be pondered, "If he didn't lie, then why didn't Fei Zhengqing mention it at that time, only said that the possibility of the illusion **, unless he didn't know the role of the spiritual secret, but this possibility is very low, he is Cui Xu's henchman." ”
"In other words, Fei Zhengqing is deliberately concealing the possibility of the grandmaster who opened the spiritual vault, and there is only one person who deserves him to conceal it so much and open the spiritual vault......"
Meng Qi squinted his eyes and looked at the white paper on the window, and the name "Cui Xu" echoed in his heart.
Hereditary City Lord, Genius Swordsman, Righteous Path Grandmaster, this is the layer of aura on Cui Xu's body, whether it is power, wealth, or martial arts, he has almost reached the limit that a normal person can reach.
Meng Qi also knows a lot about him, such as childhood sweethearts, middle-aged widows, such as both children, and many righteous brothers, such as few shots in the past five years, and the affairs of Tianding City have been handed over to his son Cui Jinhua.
"Moreover, at that time, the black shadow only killed Jin Ancheng and killed him, but he didn't care about Fei Zhengqing, who had no power to resist and knew more, and the long sword could also pierce through my golden bell jar...... However, Cui Xu, a figure who has no shortage of power, wealth, and martial arts, why is it necessary to deal with Duan Mingcheng and make a fuss with Duan Xiangfei?"
If it weren't for Duan Mingcheng, who he and his subordinates captured, Meng Qi really couldn't imagine that he had any motivation to kill Jin Ancheng's mouth, and directly tried his best to kill his own "Shen Monkey".
"Could it be for the treasure of the Snow God Palace? But is Cui Xu lacking this? Or does he want the secret books and cultivation experience in it, go one step further, open the three major secret treasures, and break through the boundary between humans and gods?"
Meng Qi pondered the "motive for the crime" and reluctantly felt that Cui Xu had this possibility.
Perhaps he learned about the treasures of the Snow God Palace from You Tongguang, so he set his eyes on Duan Mingcheng, who had a treasure map and was trying to contact the Snow God Palace, and took advantage of the opportunity of their meeting to catch them all. ”
Regardless of whether the motive was sufficient, the more Meng Qi thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.
"Duan Mingcheng's treasure map should be in Cui Xu's hands now, if the Venerable of the Snow God Palace can't stand the torture, it is estimated that he will also explain their share of the treasure map, Zhang Zongxian and his wife were chased and killed by the Twelve Phases God, the treasure map was given to Cui Jinxiu, and it must have fallen into Cui Xu's hands, You Tongguang's share, if nothing else, will definitely be dedicated to Cui Xu, he may have collected four treasure maps......" Meng Qi was slightly shocked after careful analysis.
But he still has a lot of questions, such as why Fei Zhengqing left from the tunnel in the middle of the night on the third watch, and why Cui Xu, the lord of a city, happened to be at the scene...... And the most puzzling point is, who was the Snow God Palace Han Envoy and others killed?
The person who killed them was also good at using swords, and was respected by them, it seemed that he was a high-level member of the Snow God Palace, unlike Cui Xu, so why did he need to kill his subordinates?
If it is through the mouth of the Han Envoy and others, let yourself transfer the object of suspicion to Cui Xu, and transfer it away afterwards, why kill people?
"And this person seems to know my whereabouts well, and he won't do it until I really leave, and the one who can stay with me without being revealed by me is the contemporary Palace Master of the Snow God Palace?" Meng Qi was shocked, a little afraid, "Then what is his purpose? Uncover Cui Xu's secret and force him to hand over the treasure map......?"
Figured out some things, confused some things, Meng Qi slowly sorted out his thoughts, no matter what, the main task is important, you must first focus on Cui Xu, and You Tongguang is the breakthrough.
............
Wu Fengyu sneakily walked through the alleys, and only in the dark nights did he have a little sense of security.
After the murder attempt, he was always worried that the other party would tell him and provoke the third master's crazy revenge, so he found an excuse and hid temporarily.
"Who is the master behind him? Why did he just warn me and not just kill me?" In the past few days, this question has always been haunting Wu Fengyu's heart, making him unable to eat and sleep.
Bang, a sharp pain hit the back of the head, and Wu Fengyu fainted angrily and annoyed.
"Again?"
It was his last thought before he fell unconscious.
............
In the shadow of the roof near You Mansion, Meng Qi continued to monitor the movement inside, but this time, his attention was not on You Tongguang, but shifted to You Hongbo in the east wing, watching him go to bed with the lights out normally.
Just when Meng Qi thought that there was no words for another night, a man dressed as a dart master hurried into You Hongbo's courtyard under the guidance of his subordinates.
Far away, Meng Qi couldn't hear what they were talking about, only saw You Hongbo seem to raise his hand excitedly, then picked up the long sword and went out with the dart master.
"If you go out in the middle of the night in a dangerous situation, there must be a ghost, either the conspiracy of the gods, or the secret ...... of Youfu" Meng Qi was happy in his heart, and carefully embellished it, no matter what the situation is, it should be what he likes to see.
............
You Hongbo clenched the long sword in his right hand, gritted his teeth and followed the dart master forward, his expression was hideous, as if he was eager to dismantle the person he wanted in his heart.
He is You Tongguang's optimistic son, and he didn't say much along the way, and restrained his feelings.
"Is he here?" You Hongbo looked at the yellow walls and black tiles in front of him, both stunned and afraid.
"Third master, Wu Fengyu is hiding in the Great Compassion Temple, hmph, this traitor is afraid that he wants to use the prestige of the white-clothed sword god to deter us. The dart master replied excitedly.
You Hongbo looked at him coldly: "Zhu Mingyuan, you also know the white-clothed sword god, and you instigated me to go in and catch Wu Fengyu?"
If it weren't for the heavy dart this time, how could he go out in person, just find a dart head.
"Third master, it's okay, you see that Wu Fengyu can hide in it, and so can we. As long as you don't get close to the courtyard where the white-clothed sword god lives, you won't be afraid of any trouble, and there were two groups of bastards fighting in it two days ago, and they didn't alarm the white-clothed sword god. Zhu Mingyuan hurriedly explained.
You Hongbo was conceited, believing that even if he alarmed the white-clothed sword god, he would at most be taught a lesson, and there was no worry about his life, and it was more important to save his father's impression, so he nodded slowly and said, "Okay, then let's go in." ”
Climbing over the yellow wall, the two sneaked towards the courtyard where Wu Fengyu was hiding.
"Oops, there's no movement!" You Hongbo was not careless, and searched around first, but unexpectedly there was no sound of breathing in the house.
"He, he's in there......" Zhu Mingyuan was obviously surprised.
You Hongbo frowned, pushed the door in, and after lighting the fire fold, his right hand trembled violently, almost dropping the fire fold to the ground.
On the bed in the room, Wu Fengyu lay there quietly, his eyes wide, frozen in indescribable fear and fear, and he was already dead.
Whew, the wind sounded, and the door was closed, and a black shadow suddenly burst out, and his hands were like electricity, sealing the shocked You Hongbo acupoint.
You Hongbo's martial arts may not be much worse than this black shadow, but he is pampered and has little tempering, and in this situation, he can't hold his body and mind, and he forgets to guard against sneak attacks, so he is naturally hit by someone.
He looked at the dark shadow in horror, and it was now a graceful woman, dressed in a night suit and wearing a cute white rabbit mask.
"Rabbit?" he wanted to shout, but the dark eyes under the mask were staring at his throat, so that he could only spit out these two words.
"Third Master You, don't worry, it's just that someone wants you to be a hostage, as long as you cooperate obediently, you won't have to worry about your life. Mao Rabbit said with a smile, his voice also deliberately hoarse.
"You don't order my dumb hole, what do you want to ask?" You Hongbo has always been a smart person, but his experience is too shallow, and Zhu Mingyuan has long been asleep on the ground.
Mao Rabbit looked him up and down, and chuckled: "I didn't think about it, but since I caught you, let's ask about the treasure map by the way." ”
"Who?" she looked out the window warily.
The window creaked open, and a laughing monkey appeared in front of the two of them.
"Shen Monkey?" both of them exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
