Chapter 238: The green shirt is thin
The Feast of the Clouds...... Meng Qi nodded with a smile and took the invitation:
"Sue your young master, Su should go to the banquet as scheduled. β
The date of the banquet marked on the invitation is Chinese New Year's Eve, which seems to have the meaning of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, calculating the time, Meng Qi's itinerary will not be compact, so he plans to go to Wen'an first to complete Yun Zhongzi's commission.
............
Wen'an, Jiangdong, at the end of the year, the wind is blowing, although the snow does not cover the river, but the environment is wet and cold, the weather is gloomy, as if no matter how thick the clothes can not stop the cold infiltration, and the scenery of the north is a completely different feeling.
Lu Jian, who is famous for his wide range of travel, "harmonious and wealthy", clasped his hands in his sleeves, holding a red copper sleeve stove, walking through the streets in the cold wind with a smile on his face, smiling and chin from time to time, greeting people, and it seems that there are acquaintances everywhere.
When he was young, he was also ambitious to explore the rivers and lakes, relying on his sociable skills, he met many famous people, but unfortunately he was seriously injured and failed to treat it in time, leaving the root of the disease, and there was no hope of breaking through, so he had to return to his hometown and become a strong party by relying on his connections.
Ahem, he coughed lightly a few times, and tightened his sleeve stove to resist the cold outside his body.
This is his old injury, and he is very sad every winter, if it weren't for this, how could he get a master of the Seven Tricks just because of this kind of Cheng DΓΉ's cold?
"The rivers and lakes are evil......" Lu Jian sighed and muttered to himself.
If he chose to inherit the family business instead of going out, he was afraid that he would become the nine tricks steadily, although the half-step exterior scene was hopeless, but he didn't have to die and live for two or three months every year, but unfortunately he was young and vigorous at the time, and his ambitions were high, and he felt ashamed to come to this world if he didn't make a scene. So he traveled far and wide, coming and going in the water and in the fire, seeking a way to look for an exterior.
Looking back now, there are countless enlightened people, and how many can open the door of life and death, for ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, how slim the hope is!
"Second uncle, why are you sad and sad like an old man?" Lu Huo, the nephew who walked beside him, couldn't help laughing, his second uncle was only forty years old, but he could sigh about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. But he is always like a man of seventy or eighty, lifeless, with a long sigh.
Lu Jian scolded with a smile: "When you cross the rivers and lakes, you will understand my current state of mind of the second uncle......
Speaking of this, he suddenly recalled all kinds of things he had experienced:
Exterminate the bandits, besiege the demons, and die for the sake of a relic......
He has also been drunk in the outer building, and he has won money in the Tianzi No. 1 gambling house, and he has also worn a cloak and a moon. rushed 300 miles, and did not hesitate to go to the soup for a certain promise......
Jin Li, who is a concubine but never complains about himself, is always smiling and likes to play tricks on Xue Rui. Zhong Meixian, who is always blushing and shy, but never abandons her companions to the enemy...... The friends who had a deep friendship flashed in Lu Jian's heart one by one, which made him full of warmth, and he sighed again, if he didn't choose to go to the rivers and lakes. I am afraid that my life is monotonous and poor, and even my memories seem pale, alas. If you go back to the beginning and choose again, I am afraid that you will still make the same decision.
Lu Huo is the age of longing for the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't care about the words of the second uncle, and looks at the heroes with swords and swords.
Suddenly, he shouted: "Second uncle, look, the new list is out!"
They passed through the six gates of Wen'an Yamen.
"People list?" Lu Jian was quite surprised, the list of people was updated so frequently? Could it be that there was a big change in the ranking?
As one of the local snakes, it is necessary to understand the news of the rivers and lakes, so he took his nephew and guards into the square in front of the yamen and studied the list of people.
"Crazy, Crazy Knife Su Meng's ranking has increased again!" Lu Huo exclaimed, it was less than three months, and Su Meng had actually raised his ranking again, it was unbelievable!
In addition to the time when he first entered the rivers and lakes and slowly showed his strength, the improvement of his ranking often took half a year as a cycle, after all, the growth of cultivation takes time, and it is not possible to defeat stronger enemies just by thinking, but Su Meng defeated the "Wufang Emperor Sword" in Jiangdong for less than three months, and he actually made a shocking event, and the combat power he showed made people unable to believe that he was the same person as him more than two months ago!
"What?" Lu Jian was also quite shocked, staring at the front and finding that the ranking of He Jiu and the others had not changed, but the back was different from before:
"Name: Su Meng, once used the name Zhending. β
"Martial arts: Seven tricks, the initial cultivation of the golden bell jar, is currently suspected of being a similar talisman hard skill, the spirit is stronger than the ordinary nine tricks, the divine power is amazing; β
"With the help of the treasure weapon in his hand, he can also derive the appearance of the thunder nature of the knife move, and if he goes all out, he can send out a blow that is almost the outside, and at the same time, the knife is successful, the essence and righteousness are incorporated, and there is a means to summon the heavenly thunder,"
"Achievements: Fighting and killing the 'white-headed vulture' An Guoxie; Yu Yedu County Ya School Field, narrowly defeated the 'Shouzheng Sword' Wang Zai in half a move; Jiangzhou Maoling Guanjin Yuan, in the 'shocked hundred miles' Jiang Hengchuan's heart of killing, the wind and clouds changed color, lightning and thunder; in Dongyang Beppu, forced 'to count the immortality' Wang Siyuan to return to the sword defense; Jiangzhou Changchuan Street, narrowly defeated the 'Wufang Emperor Sword' Qingyu ......"
"Running thousands of miles, outside the temple next to the Longyan Mountain Road, he encountered the Demon Shadow Cold Palm, the Blaze Demon and the Falling Soul Xiao besieged and killed, and in the case of one enemy and three, he killed the other party, and the details of the battle are unknown, but the crazy knife Su Meng has hard skills such as the golden bell jar, and he is obviously better at dealing with similar situations than other masters. β
"Ranking: sixth. β
"Nicknames: Crazy Knife, Mang King Kong, Thunder Knife Crazy Monk. β
"Identity: Shaolin outcast, a chivalrous man. β
The first battle removed the Demon Shadow Chill Palm, the Blaze Demon and the Soul Falling Soul? Lu Jian couldn't believe his eyes.
Although the Demon Shadow Cold Palm once went mad and fell into the devil, and its strength dropped greatly, as the battle deepened, the counterattack would become stricter and stricter, so that the fight became weaker and weaker, but it was also a half-step exterior scene for serious breakthroughs, with outstanding body skills and terrible palm power, plus the blaze man demon who was in the forefront of the human demons and the famous Soul Falling Soul Xiao in the left road, the match was reasonable, there were far and near, there was control and strong attack, even if the normal half-step exterior scene was besieged, I was afraid that it was enough, not to mention Su Meng, who was only seven tricks?
It's unbelievable!
Moreover, even if such a record is ranked in the top five, no one will question it, and the six doors consider that Su Meng's exercises are better at life and death fighting and siege, and placing him in sixth place is quite suspicious of suppression.
"It's too powerful! Being besieged by this kind of Cheng DΓΉ's three demons can still kill them all!" Lu Huo was inexplicably excited, muttering to himself, "The sword is so strong, I really want to learn!"
Maybe it's because he's only seven knacks...... Lu Jian ignored the shouting of his nephew next to him, and thought about the problem by himself.
After hearing the sword double absolute, he suddenly moved in his heart, and felt that the information on Su Meng's list this time seemed to be different from before, not a reduction in the battle record, after all, the number of words on the list is limited, mainly reflecting the most important and latest situation, but the sword double is diluted, it seems that Su Meng has used less than a sword, mainly a knife, and the description of swordsmanship is becoming more and more brief.
Of course, because this part of the content was not eliminated at once, but the rhetoric was changed, Lu Jian didn't think too much, shook his head and smiled bitterly:
I worked hard back then, repeatedly took risks and battles, and wanted to be on the list but couldn't, and now just over 35 years old, I have seen what makes the ranking of people by leaps and bounds, and what makes people more popular than people!
The subsequent rankings are not postponed, and there are a few changes, with newcomers entering the list, and those who have broken through or reached the age are off the list.
"Let's go, hurry home. Lu Jian clenched his hand stove and urged his nephew, every time he looked at the list, the more he looked at it, the more embarrassed he became, especially now that it was still the season when the cold wind was at its peak.
Lu Huo reluctantly turned his head, walked for a while, and when he reached the bridge, he suddenly spoke: "Second uncle, do you know which sect is the sword master?"
"You can't use a sword or a sword alone, what do you want to do with both swords and swords?" Lu Jian had a feeling of hatred for his nephew.
"Maybe I'm good at sword coordination. Lu Huo said excitedly.
Lu Jian was about to speak, when he suddenly saw a young man in a green robe standing in front of him.
He stood quietly by the bridge, looking at the riddle hanging on the nearby trees, wearing a green shirt and a scarf, elegant and free.
At first glance, he is not conspicuous, but if you look closely, you will find that this young man in green shirt forms a harmonious whole with the stone arch bridge, the river, the trees, and the ground.
On a moonless night, the flowing water is murmuring, the green trees are withering, the arched bridge is undulating, the ground is not moving, the surroundings are quiet, only the sound of water is heard, which makes people suddenly feel like a dream, Lu Jian's expression becomes solemn, and his eyes are subconsciously focused on the hands of the young man in the green shirt, they are carried behind, slender and powerful, with a faint fluorescence, like a jade carving, with an indescribable strange charm.
"Are you Lu Jian?" The boy in the green shirt turned his head, revealing a face with seemingly clumsy facial features, but when connected together, it revealed a demon-like demonic attraction, and his voice was calm and heavy.
Lu Jian was clever and came back to his senses: "It's here, I don't know what the son has to inquire about?"
"I was entrusted to find Jin Li's whereabouts, can you be sure that the last place where he appeared was Wen'an?"
He is Meng Qi, because it is related to the Yuan Shi Tianzun, it is impossible to directly use the identity of the deity to investigate, and it is impossible to wear a mask all the time, so he relied on the eight or nine Xuangong and the things that change his appearance again and appear in a new identity.
Lu Jian looked at both sides, motioned for the guards to take Lu Huo a little farther, and then arched his hand: "Your Excellency is a member of the Jin family?"
More than three years ago, he suddenly came to Wen'an, said a bunch of words that felt ordinary at the time, but now they are quite strange, and then went out in the rain at night, leaving the cold house, I didn't care at that time, I thought he was going to have something to do elsewhere, until not long ago, the Jin family sent someone to inquire, only to know that he had been missing for a few years, calculate the time, it was his day in Wen'an.
