Chapter 136: Successive Visits
Langya's "Sanqingguan" is a common Taoist temple, for the people to worship and worship incense, non-sectarian, the location is not too good, but the incense is still prosperous.
There are only a few enlightened players in the view, and there is naturally no objection to Meng Qi's borrowing.
As soon as Meng Qi settled down, before he could make tea and taste tea, thinking about Ruan Shaoguang's attitude, he saw that the acquaintance came to report and said that Pengzhou Jinzhang was the head of Nie Zhi.
"Jin Zhang catches the head?" Meng Qi was stunned, then got up and greeted the door.
Jiangdong includes Jiangzhou and Pengzhou, Langya is the city of Pengzhou, with six doors of the state city yamen, by the head of the Jin Zhang and his assistant Zishou head in charge of the criminal affairs of the rivers and lakes of a state, the current Jin Zhang is Nie Zhi, a top master of the five heavens.
Such a character, in most of the cities, are all big people who say their word, stomp their feet, and the whole city will shake three times, but Langya has Ruan's family, not to mention the grandmaster-level powerhouse, there are several top masters who can beat Nie Zhi, if it is said that on behalf of the imperial court, the old man Ruan used to be the left minister of the political affairs hall, with a high position and power, far above Nie Zhi, so Nie Zhi has always been obscure in Langya, and his main energy is focused on other cities in Pengzhou, just like his colleagues in Guangling, Yedu and other cities.
Today, he took the initiative to visit? With such doubts, Meng Qi walked out of the courtyard gate and saw Nie Zhi.
Nie Zhi is an old man with gray hair, but his blood is vigorous, his teeth are full, there is no wrinkle on his face, and his laughter is like Hong Zhong: "The virtuous nephew is really the leader of the younger generation, the knife before is shocking, ask yourself, the old man is afraid that he has to avoid the edge." β
He wore a crimson headcatcher suit embroidered with gold thread, a gold medallion hanging from his waist, and a straight back, not showing his old age.
Hearing him call him a virtuous nephew, Meng Qi didn't know that this was a move to use the Su family to get closer. It still really involves the Su family, and he bowed and said, "Shibo is modest." β
Nie Zhi laughed: "Where is modesty, old and old." It's really old. β
As he spoke, he took the initiative to step into the courtyard. Knowing the guest and leaving with interest.
After sitting on the left and right of the stone table, Nie Zhi looked around the courtyard, the wind was blowing slowly, and there was no abnormality, slightly isolating the inside and outside to prevent eavesdropping.
"Virtuous nephew, you left home without saying hello, did a lot of things, and then disappeared for more than a year. I only showed up in Jiangdong, which made your father and your uncle so worried, afraid that you would have an accident, and finally met you today, how could the old man 'let it go'?" Nie Zhi said with a smile.
Meng Qi was so embarrassed, he had no feelings for the Su family, and the only thing he cared about after breaking the cause and effect was Sister Ziyue, who was related to his uncle, didn't send a few letters back, and most of them were written to Su Ziyue and Gu Changqing, instructing them in their cultivation.
"There are a lot of powerful people offended by the little nephew. If you have a fixed place, you are easily ambushed and besieged, so you don't dare to go home until you grow up. Meng Qi pondered and groaned.
This is one of the real reasons.
Nie Zhi shook his head and said, "There are many strong people in the Divine Capital. The evil demon is one of the safest places in the world, so what is the nephew worried about?"
"Shibo Mingjian, the gods are all kinds of extraordinary precautions, and they can indeed deter the strong, even if the people of the law may not dare to mess around, but this is just a normal situation, if someone doesn't care about their own life and death, they have to drag their little nephew to the end. No matter how many formations and strong people there are, what is the use of the gods, the danger is only between breaths!" Meng Qi thought of his "assassination" in the divine capital. "And among the enemies offended by the little nephew, there is no shortage of characters who can send such dead soldiers. β
"Because of the matter of the Divine Palm?" Nie Zhi showed a little curiosity.
More than that. In addition to the Immortal Sect, I have offended almost all of the Nine Demon Paths, both openly and secretly, and some have offended more than once, especially the "Demon Master" Han Guang, if he knew that the person who had spoiled his perfect plan was me, I am afraid that I would personally take action...... Meng Qi silently thought about it, and felt more and more that he had a fate with the Nine Paths of Evil Demons, a bad fate!
"Sort of. He replied ambiguously, and then said, "I wonder how the situation is at home?"
"The old lady, your father, and your uncle are all in good health, although they don't have the position of marquis, but the title of the Eight Great Divine Catchers can also shock most of the young people. "Nie Zhi didn't mention Ke Weilan, anyway, it's still like that.
He paused and said, "Your father seems to be a little disheartened and often reads Buddhist scriptures and Taoist books. β
Meng Qi nodded lightly: "What about the sister?"
"The family has suffered a big change, Ziyue girl has faded away, worked hard, and made a lot of progress. Nie Zhi praised.
Meng Qi asked other things, and Nie Zhidu answered them one by one, it was really like a meeting between Shibo and his nephew.
"I don't know what the people in the family think about the little nephew leaving home?" At the end, Meng Qi couldn't help but ask.
Nie Zhi smiled bitterly: "Your father said that you are a 'son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, and you can't stand the restraints'." β
Isn't it synonymous with "not at home...... Meng Qi smiled bitterly.
After talking about the old days, Nie Zhi's face turned straight: "The old man came to the door today, and there is still something to ask the virtuous nephew." β
"Speak, Shibo. Meng Qi knew that he had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.
Nie Zhi stroked a few white whiskers under his chin: "I also asked my nephew to help find out about the Ruan family's deal with the blue-blooded people." β
He seemed to be quite confident in Meng Qi's relationship with the Ruan family.
"I'm afraid it's inconvenient to leak the specific plan. Meng Qi frowned.
Nie Zhi shook his head and said: "It's not that the old man wants to know this, but he has to try to grasp the ins and outs of the whole thing, so as not to have an emergency and make the place quiet, this is the duty of the six doors, and it has to be done." β
He first said a few words in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, and then said: "The Ruan family has been closed for a few days, and it is deduced that the root of the blue-blooded people is located, except for sending the grandmaster to search and confirm from time to time, there is no other action, which makes people speculate a lot. β
"At the same time, there are other abnormal things, for example, the head of the Wang family lived in the Ruan Mansion with the 'Luo Shu', but the eldest prince of Wang stayed alone in the Xishan Buddhist Temple, ignoring it, such as the invisible sword He Jiu and his entourage in the East China Sea Sword Village had to come to ...... with the invisible sword of the junior generation."
Nie Zhi said a lot, and finally said sincerely: "If the information that the virtuous nephew finds out involves confidentiality and the success or failure of the matter, it is inconvenient to disclose, and the old man will never ask about it." β
The little nephew tried to find out. Thinking of Ruan Shaoguang's attitude, Meng Qi was also puzzled and had the heart to figure it out.
As for where to find out, he already has an excellent candidate, Wang Siyuan, the eldest son of the king!
If some people have a "self-destructive tendency", then Wang Dashen's stick has a tendency to "play things off", and his mental condition is very abnormal. Therefore, he often deliberately reminds in order to "play off". Ask him about it, and you'll always get some news.
Nie Zhi left satisfied, and Meng Qi drank tea and pondered. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart and looked forward.
As soon as his eyes flickered, a gray figure appeared in front of him!
As soon as I had a premonition, I was bullied, what a terrible strength...... Meng Qi was on full alert and ready to attack.
As far as the eye can see, this is a gray-robed monk with a middle-aged appearance. Honest and honest, the only pair of eyes are dripping, revealing a bit of a thief's feeling.
"Amitabha, a poor monk who quit gambling and has seen Lord Su. He smiled and folded his hands.
Meng Qi never thought that he had anything to do with quitting killing, because this is a well-known monk in the rivers and lakes!
The world is big, and there are many powerful monks, but most of them come from famous Buddhist temples, and even ascetics have more or less sects. Only this one, on the surface, seems to have no background, but he is a real monk. Being able to become a grandmaster and be on the list of the ground has made many people call it incredible.
Although the background is ordinary, the monk itself gives people a sense of mystery, the dragon sees the head but does not see the end, and is addicted to gambling, he will gamble on everything, and every time he loses completely, only chopping his hands. I swore in front of the Buddha that I would quit gambling, but I forgot the pain when the scar was healed. Soon he reverted to his old ways, even if he changed his legal name to quit gambling. It can't be corrected.
It stands to reason that a martial artist with such a defect is either difficult to improve, or easy to fall into the trap of others, but quitting gambling has survived peacefully until now, and his strength has maintained an improvement, so this is also one of his mysterious evidences.
There are many rumors of gambling monks in the rivers and lakes, some people say that he is a blue-level or blue-level assassin of the Burenlou, and even the Baidao identity of the owner of the Burenlou, and some people say that he has a lot to do with the ironclad building, and may be in charge of one of the three most mysterious branches of the ironclad building, in short, this is a monk full of mysteries.
Meng Qi also saluted: "What is the matter with the master's visit?"
Quit gambling smiled and said: "I heard that Su Shi can bring people into Lanke Temple to view the general outline of the gods, old man, no, the poor monk is itching, and he has come to ask for help." β
"Rashly bring people forward, for fear of upsetting the Bodhisattva. Meng Qi had planned to take Ruan Yushu and the others there, if it was too frequent, even if the Moon Mani Bodhisattva kept the "grand wish" of retribution and was not unhappy, he had to guard against the anger of other monks in Lanke Temple, and he would harm his own good deeds in key matters.
Besides, he is not related to the gambling monk, so why should he take him?
Quit gambling and fold his hands again: "The poor monk just lost a clean one, his sleeves are clean, it is difficult to come up with valuable things to exchange, if this is the case, let's make a bet, if you lose, the poor monk will sell himself to the donor for three years, if the poor monk wins, please take the poor monk to Lanke Temple." β
Bet...... It's really a gamble that doesn't change...... Meng Qi said with a smile: "What's the use of asking for a master in the next place?
He has too many secrets, and following a grandmaster is purely looking for death, and he is not like Yunhe Zhenren who can hide behind the Vientiane Gate.
Without waiting for the gambling to speak, Meng Qi turned to ask: "I don't know which senior sued Master SΓΉ to bring people into Lanke Temple to comprehend the general outline of the Divine Palm?"
If this matter spreads, he will be annoyed to death.
Quit gambling and look left and right, and said in a low voice: "The poor monk has a little friendship with He Qi, and he was annoyed for a long time before he got this news, don't worry, no one else knows." β
"Sword Maniac" He Qi...... Meng Qi thought about the fact that He Jiu and the servants had to come to the East China Sea Sword Village this time, and said with a smile: "It's better for the master to go back and think about it, what can impress you." β
Quit gambling with a sad face: "The poor monk is so poor that he only has himself......"
He sighed and turned away, full of anguish.
Meng Qi looked at the back of his gray robe and shoes, his mind shifted, and he thought about the whole thing.
............
In Ruan's mansion, He Jiu, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly stood up after quietly closing his eyes for a long time, smiled on his face, and walked out slowly, full of heroic and confident feelings.
"Where are you going, young master?" asked his servant, puzzled.
He Jiu laughed: "Find Su Meng to learn." β
"Why?" said his servant's eyes.
He Jiu put his hands behind his back and said with emotion: "I entered the location a year and a half earlier than him, but now I am almost at the edge of the first layer of the ladder, and if I go back, I will gradually open the gap between the realms by him, if I don't take advantage of the opportunity to learn from the same realm now, there will be no such opportunity for a long time!"
"If there is a gap in the realm, for me and for him, I will not be happy, and there will always be a feeling that one party is bullying the small with the big. β
His servant hurriedly relieved: "Even if he is the Four Tribulations, you will also ascend to the sky in one step, and there will not be much gap." β
He Jiu didn't smile and said: "How can I He Jiu care about these people? He is indeed improving faster than me now, but there will be an end in the future, maybe it is a half-step Dharma body, a Dharma body, or it may be the realm of the six masters of the Daomen, I walk step by step, walk steadily, and one day I will be level with him again." β
Between the words, he was full of strong self-confidence.
After speaking, He Jiu looked up to the sky and laughed, stepped out of the door, and went straight to Sanqingguan.
When he arrived at the gate, he saw the acquaintance greeted him: "Lord He Shi, Lord Su Shi knows your arrival, please go to Sanqing Hall to meet." β
"Good. He Jiu didn't hide his aura along the road, and it was not surprising that Meng Qi was aware of it.
Under the guidance of Zhike, he walked through the square and entered the Sanqing Palace, and as far as his eyes could see, he was the first to see the three statues above.
With the Yuan Shi Tianzun as the center, the Daode Tianzun and the Lingbao Tianzun are separated on both sides, looking from left to right, showing the feeling of old age, middle age, and youth respectively.
These three statues or hold jade Ruyi, or take the Taiji diagram, or palm the cyan sword, although there is no miracle, but carved lifelike, wise, majestic, vicissitudes, vastness and other feelings are revealed, combined with the myths and legends of the three Taoist ancestors, so that there is an unusually solemn and vast oppression in the hall.
He Jiu's breathing subconsciously lightened, his gaze moved down, and he saw Meng Qi, who was wearing a black power suit, with his eyes half-open and half-closed, sitting under the statue of Sanqing, deep and introverted, as if he was connected as one!
