Chapter 181: Watching the Fire from the Other Shore
Meng Qi carried an oil-paper umbrella, as if walking in the rain, slowly walking on the bustling and lively streets, merchants, street vendors, and pedestrians in ordinary clothes, like waves, condensing or moving.
The Divine Capital has always been known for its many good hands, so Meng Qi didn't feel inappropriate about this before, but after hearing Yuan Lihuo mention the matter of the Nine Heavens Ruins being secretly circulated in the Divine Capital, looking at this qiē again, it feels completely different, there seem to be many strong people hidden in the crowded crowd, they come in a hurry, hurry away, their expressions are calm, and the undercurrent is turbulent.
"It's really a stone that stirs up a thousand waves...... Meng Qi easily looked around with the corner of his eye, and didn't extend his spirit, anyway, no matter whether the news of the Nine Heavens Ruins is true or not, whether there is weirdness and conspiracy behind it, he doesn't plan to wade into this troubled water, and it has nothing to do with him, unless Gu Xiaosang takes the contract and asks for cooperation.
Therefore, he now has a sense of superiority that he is out of the way and a bystander, seeing the rain falling, holding up an oil-paper umbrella, and smiling at the passers-by one by one.
It's a great feeling to watch the fire from the other side!
The raindrops bloomed on the bluestone slab, of course Meng Qi would not go to Antai Building to join in the fun, so he found an inn at random and asked for a relatively clean guest room.
This is an independent courtyard, divided into three wings, left and right, and as soon as he stepped in, the smile on the corner of Meng Qi's mouth became even stronger.
On the stone bench in the courtyard sat a Taoist priest with a wooden hairpin, his face was wrinkled, his hair was black and white, his breath was long, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, he turned a blind eye to Meng Qi, and seemed to be immersed in the Taoist book in his hand, and the rain that fell straight down happened to be blocked by the dense canopy of the big tree.
The window of the wing room on the right side was propped up, revealing a pleasant and disgusted face, with willow eyebrows and sideburns, and a straight nose. The face is picturesque, there is a bit of sassiness hidden in the delicateness, the red dress is bright but not glamorous, and he is obviously a good son and daughter of the rivers and lakes.
Her aura was no more than an open level, but her lowered eyes seemed to hide something. didn't look at Meng Qi, as if he had already sensed it, and he didn't care much.
"It's really the wind and rain in all directions, and there are two strong men hidden in the small guest house......" Meng Qi stayed out of the matter, too lazy to spy on the other party's true strength, and walked under the eaves. Put away the oil-paper umbrella, shake off the raindrops on it, leisurely open the door of the middle wing, light the lamp to illuminate the darkness after entering, and take out his own "Tao Te Ching" to study.
There's something weird about this book. He doesn't trust the Six Paths at the moment, so he doesn't want to identify them for the time being.
The woman in the red dress and the Taoist priest with wooden hairpins remained the same, and the whole courtyard only heard the sound of ticking, which had a quiet and deep feeling.
The green lantern illuminated the book, Meng Qi held the "Tao Te Ching", shook his head and recited, and did not pay attention to the things outside the window at all.
............
The next day, the wind and rain stopped. The sky was clear, Meng Qi changed his clothes and walked out of the inn. planned to meet Su Ziyue and Gu Changqing secretly.
People came and went on the street, Meng Qi walked slowly, wandering in it, his heart was quiet, admiring the beauty and ugliness of the red dust.
Suddenly, a woman in a red dress in the same courtyard hurriedly walked by. rubbed shoulders with Meng Qi unconsciously, and turned into a fork in the road.
After a few breaths. The Taoist priest wearing a wooden hairpin caught up with him lightly, and after seeing Meng Qi. Smile and bow, count as a greeting, and turn off the other way.
"It's all the way to Antai Building. Meng Qi smiled slightly, and walked straight forward, deep into the inner city.
As soon as he crossed the fork in the road, the woman in the red dress and the Taoist priest with a wooden hairpin, who had been far away from here, looked back at the same time in the crowd, and looked at the place, both of them exhaled, as if they had relieved some doubts.
Contrary to the direction of Antai Building, Meng Qi gradually approached Su Mansion, and at this time, the smile on his face was even stronger, because Su Ziyue went out briskly, her appearance had grown, less immature, more gentle in her liveliness, and her emerald green dress revealed a little freshness.
Meng Qi pretended to be a shopping son, and walked slowly in the direction of Su Ziyue, eight or nine secret luck, and raised his vigilance.
When they were less than five steps away, Meng Qilingtai suddenly shook, and it seemed that he could feel the "gaze" falling on Su Ziyue and the people passing by her.
There is a monitoring ...... Meng Qi's expression remained unchanged, he looked at the stall on the left with a smile, and let Su Ziyue pass behind him, and the eight or nine Xuangong, the Yuan Shi Golden Lotus, and the Jade Void Divine Calculation were quietly opened!
The crowd seemed to thin out from near to far, revealing several hazy locations in Meng Qi's heart.
"One, two......" Meng Qimo counted, there were probably four monitors who were not subordinate to each other, some of them were so strong that it was difficult to discern the specific situation, and some were relatively poor and delicate.
The four forces, Su Nu Dao, Destroying the Heavenly Gate, Crying Old Man and Quitting Killing? Meng Qi sneered in his heart, did not expose it, and walked directly forward, leaving from the street on the left side of Su Mansion.
I can't make trouble now, wait for another two or three years, with the level of the grandmaster, and be able to resist the peak head-on for a moment, or after the strength to withstand a half-step blow for a short time, then ask the abbot of Kongwen and Lingbao Tianzun to help, and destroy the hidden dangers in one fell swoop, even if it is difficult to eliminate the long-standing evil path of the Su Nu Dao and the Heaven Destroying Gate, it is necessary to give them a heavy blow!
Of course, Meng Qi's four tribulations, the half-step method body is just around the corner, he himself knows, his enemies are even clearer, the longer the time is delayed, the more crazy the enemy will become, and he must be eliminated before he grows up, so Meng Qi believes that the last year or two years will be fine, and after two years, I am afraid that there will be many desperate things, such as kidnapping relatives and letting himself go to the meeting alone.
"Wait for the six doors, send a letter to the family, inform the enemy of the ferocity in detail, let them keep the formation open, and restrain the little sister to go out, and then ask Uncle Wang to help take care of ......" Meng Qi already had a plan in his heart.
It is already difficult for the gods to "commit murder", and with such an arrangement, I believe that nothing will go wrong.
It stands to reason that there is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, this kind of Cheng Dù's vigilance is really difficult to last, but Meng Qi does not need the Su family to maintain it for a long time, at most three years.
This is the self-confidence of the world-famous "crazy knife"!
After doing this, Meng Qi returned to the inn as usual, and it was already night, and he continued to light the lamp and read the book, study the Tao Te Ching, and wonder what was unusual about it.
At the same time, he sighed in his heart, there is a real trouble in the entrance, the master has entered the relics stupa for a long time, and there is no sign of nirvana rebirth, so he can't take him to comprehend the divine palm of the Buddha, as for the little junior brother. The breath is deep, and he is still asleep, but his face is ruddy, and his flesh and blood are pregnant with terrifying power, according to the abbot of Kongwen. The state of the little junior brother is similar to the content of the "Big Dream Sutra", but he has always been attentive and consistent, and he has never read the "Great Dream Sutra", which may be the harvest of the general outline of the Divine Palm.
As the night deepened, the Taoist priest with a wooden hairpin on his head carried a pot of wine and entered the door slowly. Looking up, he glanced at Meng Qi's reading figure reflected on the window paper, smiled slightly, and walked back to his room.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, Meng Qi put away the infamous "Tao Te Ching" and blew out the green lantern.
"It's the dead of night. Beware of the fire candle ......" The husband passed by, and the woman in red floated into the courtyard, only showing the level of enlightenment, because the Shendu Great Array was monitoring the big movements.
She cautiously raised her head, looked at the left wing, and saw that the Taoist priest was pouring himself a drink, and her eyes suddenly sank slightly.
She glanced at the middle wing and saw that the lights had gone out. The room was pitch dark, and the boy in the green shirt seemed to have fallen asleep.
Taking a light breath, the woman in red quietly returned to her room.
Meng Qi stood by the window with his hands in his hands. Hiding in the darkness of the room, watching their actions with a smile, his mood was peaceful and not wavering.
............
Another day, the Imperial Brother's Mansion.
Zhao Heng ended today's cultivation and paid a slight tribute to Yuan Lihuo, the "Blood Tooth God Catcher" who secretly "protected" him. Then he returned to his room.
He closed the door to the room, and the forbidden law opened automatically. Isolated from the inside and outside.
At this time, Zhao Heng let out a long breath. Although the entire mansion occupies an extremely large area, only in this small room can I feel at ease, have a feeling of truly belonging to myself, and not be snooped on by outsiders!
——The prince also has privacy, and he will definitely not let anyone other than the eunuch "watch" during the intercourse, so the political hall acquiesced to the arrangement of Zhao Heng's bedroom to prevent prying eyes.
As soon as he relaxed, Zhao Heng's heart suddenly tightened, as if there was a thorn in his back, he turned around suddenly, only to see a mysterious person in a wide black robe sitting across the table, wearing the mask of "Yuan Shi Tianzun" in the play, and playing with a verdant ornament in his hand, with a chaotic and deep gem inlaid in the center.
"Yuan Shi Tianzun, are you a person of immortal traces?" Zhao Heng quickly calmed down.
Meng Qi laughed and said, "Exactly." ”
Zhao Heng's thoughts turned sharply, speculating on the strength of the other party, he was able to enter his room without knowing it under the strict monitoring of the political affairs hall!
"Why did you come from?" Zhao Heng was silent on the surface.
"King Wei, you are in a difficult situation, you are weak, I am afraid that you need more external help?" Meng Qi rarely used other identities to talk to his companions, and it felt a little fresh.
Zhao Heng's face changed slightly, and then he became normal, and walked to sit down opposite Meng Qi with a smile: "You want to pull me into the immortal trace?"
"Of course, after joining the Immortal Traces, you can obtain the exercises under the title, you can buy cheap pills and utensils, you can use the power of the Six Paths from time to time, and you can exchange items and information with your companions all over the world, such as reincarnation talismans, and what you need to do is to complete an immortal miracle task every year, on the premise of not endangering the interests of your own family or the people you care about, even if the members of the immortal trail have a task to deal with the Zhao family, they will inform you in advance......" Meng Qi simply said the benefits and costs.
Zhao Heng listened with a straight face, thought about it, and did not answer for the time being.
Meng Qi said again: "And this qiē requires you to have a certain amount of freedom, we hope that you will retreat as an advance, temporarily give up the position of the emperor's younger brother, if there is a chance in the future, we will do our best to help you ascend to the throne." ”
Zhao Heng was silent for a while, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity: "What I practice is a new amazing book that combines humane exercises, the more respectful the position, the faster the cultivation, once there is no position of the emperor's younger brother, the improvement of cultivation will be slow, and sooner or later I will die in reincarnation, and as long as I ascend to the throne of God and become the honor of humanity, I will immediately be able to break through the current shackles......"
The premise is that there is an auxiliary cultivation of the True Emperor Seal and so on.
Zhao Heng's meaning is clear and clear, he will not give up his current position, no matter how difficult the situation is.
Meng Qi looked at him as if he was knowing him for the first time, he always knew that Zhao Lao Wu was ambitious, but he didn't expect to be so persistent.
Is there a side behind each companion that he doesn't know?
He sighed, "Do you know how much of an arm you gave up?"
Zhao Heng said with a smile: "I don't know if there are peripheral members of the immortal traces?" I have my own exercises, I don't need a title, as long as I can redeem huàn items, etc., and although I can't complete the task, I can help in the imperial court." ”
Meng Qi thought for a moment and said flatly: "Yes." ”
............
Back in the courtyard, the wind and rain were light, Meng Qi sat in front of the window, thinking about many things, and the Taoist priest and the woman in red had not yet returned.
Gradually, the night was deep and quiet, and suddenly, a figure fell into the courtyard and crashed into Meng Qi's room, the woman in red had a white face, and said urgently:
"I'm Sun Yuexiu of the Biyue Sword Sect, I need to heal immediately, help me get rid of the blood stains outside, and there will be a good reward tomorrow!" (To be continued) R580
