Chapter 499: Secret Path Rescuers
The tragedy of life, many times, is caused by misalignment.
If a person does not have a clear understanding of himself, then he will have all kinds of illusions and make all kinds of mistakes. Perhaps, many times, making one or two small mistakes has nothing to do with the overall situation at all. However, in the face of major issues of right and wrong, if a person still can't see the situation clearly, it will most likely lead to tragedy.
Sheng Zhiqiang is the eldest son of Sheng Lingren, in fact, in terms of personality, he still has many similarities with his father. For example, they are arrogant, high-profile, and very feminine. The most important thing is that their father and son have great ambitions. It's just that because of the different abilities, Sheng Lingren is more prominent, while Sheng Zhiqiang doesn't have much performance.
Sheng Lingren is the lord of the temple, and his martial arts are world-renowned, so he is arrogant and ambitious, and he also has capital. Sheng Zhiqiang has always regarded his father as a role model for himself. But he ignores one of the most essential things, and that is personal ability.
To do anything and talk about any ideal, first of all, you must know whether you yourself are that piece of material. It is also difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, what kind of materials do you have, what kind of meals can you cook. Again, what are you capable of, what kind of things can you do. If you have to force yourself to do what you are good at, or force what you don't belong to, then in the end, most of the results are just a tragedy.
Sheng Zhiqiang only saw the similarities between himself and his father, but he didn't notice that his father's ability was far stronger than himself in many aspects. Sheng Zhiqiang only saw that his martial arts were not as good as his father, so he secretly colluded with outsiders to steal Holy Qigong from Mei Yun Shitai. He thought he was smart, but he didn't know that his action not only made his father and himself fall into the conspiracy and calculations of outsiders, but also disrupted many of his father's carefully planned plans.
Sheng Zhiqiang didn't even have any doubts about the Holy Qigong Mental Method he had obtained, and he practiced all of them according to the above. After he defeated Lu Chengyong, the head of the Wudang faction, his arrogance increased sharply, and he didn't take the heroes of the world in his eyes.
Prior to this, the fifth line of skill had increased greatly, and it had already spread in the rivers and lakes. The defeat of the little monk of Baoli in Yunxialou alone has been spread in the rivers and lakes, and it is impossible for Sheng Zhiqiang not to know.
However, it was precisely because of his arrogance and self-righteousness that he believed that his Holy Qigong could completely suppress the fifth element. Of course, he hadn't seen the power of the Fifth Element's Five Elements True Qi, and the Fifth Element's True Qi defeated several masters of Dongchang with the Five Elements True Qi, and they were all in the dark night palace, and they were not known to outsiders. Therefore, it is reasonable that Sheng Zhiqiang's estimation of the strength of the fifth line is wrong.
The fifth line knew that Sheng Zhiqiang's character was poor, and he couldn't compare with his younger brother Sheng inexplicably, so he didn't want to talk nonsense with him at all. As soon as the two first met, Sheng Zhiqiang had already suffered a little loss. Sheng Zhiqiang was not convinced, and he had to fight against the fifth line, but the fifth line had already entered the secret passage behind the temple.
The secret passage behind the temple is more intricately designed and has many mechanisms. The fifth line guessed that Xiao Wang Ye must have been kidnapped inside, so he chased him in without hesitation.
"There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell for you to break into." Sheng Zhiqiang snorted coldly, opened the mechanism at the entrance of the secret passage, and then followed the fifth line into the secret passage.
The fifth line was afraid that Sheng would inexplicably endanger King Xiao's life, so he just wanted to find Prince Xiao as soon as possible, and didn't want to entangle with Sheng Zhiqiang too much. But Sheng Zhiqiang was not convinced and followed closely. The secret passage is small, and Sheng Zhiqiang's holy qigong can just gather in one place to exert its might, which is much stronger than in an open place.
The fifth line had only taken two steps when he suddenly felt a powerful momentum coming from behind him. The fifth line knew that it was Sheng Zhi who was attacking, and he didn't dare to be careless. So he stopped, took a horse step first, and then turned around and slapped his palm, which was the slap of the waves. The waves slapped on the shore and were dripping with water, and suddenly with a cold air, they counterattacked Sheng Zhiqiang again.
This time in the narrow place of the secret road, the Holy Qigong occupies a geographical advantage, although the fifth line of skill is higher than Sheng Zhiqiang, but for a while, it did not take advantage of the slightest. The Holy Qigong was very strong, and when it touched the palm power of the fifth line, it suddenly "buzzed", and there was a strong muffled sound in the secret passage, which shook the eardrums of the two of them, and they were a little dizzy in an instant.
The fifth line was concerned about the safety of King Xiao and wanted to retreat from the enemy as soon as possible, so after one move, he slapped another palm and slapped it at Sheng Zhiqiang again.
It's just that the fifth line was just about to be palmed, and suddenly I heard a strange "creak" sound, which seemed to be the sound of some kind of mechanism. The fifth line of moves has been released, and it can't be taken back at all, and it "snapped" with a palm, just slapping on a wall.
It turned out that just when the fifth line was about to make a palm, Sheng Zhiqiang quickly turned it off, and in front of the fifth line, a stone wall immediately appeared in front of him. The material of this stone wall is very strange, and the fifth line of extremely powerful palms hit it, but it only made a loud sound, and then the palm power was completely bounced back.
The fifth line was too fast, and the palm force was bounced back by the wall, almost injuring himself, as if he had given himself a palm, and only shook himself back by more than two feet.
"What a hard stone wall! See if you are worthy of my vajra skills? ”
As he spoke, he suddenly turned his palm into a fist, and the Five Elements True Qi Vajra Jin was quickly activated, and another punch hit the wall with a "whew". This invincible Vajra strength is indeed much stronger than the slapping palm of the waves he slammed with the power of dripping. As soon as the punch arrived, the wall at the middle fist immediately "crackled", and quickly cracked countless cracks in all directions, and continued to spread around.
The fifth line shouted "break", and the wall suddenly collapsed. The fifth line didn't think about it, and flew forward with a sharp leap. Because he was in too much of a hurry, after he ran out, he found out that he had been fooled. The front is no longer a secret passage, but an unfathomable trap.
The fifth line was shocked, so he hurriedly retracted his strength and carried the gecko to swim against the wall, trying to cling to the wall to block the fall. But because he was eager to win just now, he was too fierce and eager to castrate, and then changed his moves in a hurry, but it was still too late. In an instant, the fifth row had fallen to the bottom of the trap. At this time, the overhead mechanism was activated again, and he was quickly sealed, and he was locked in a secret room under the temple.
The secret room is very small, only a little more than a zhang up and down, left and right, and less than two zhang at its widest point. The fifth line also wanted to use Vajra to break through the wall, but several times he tried to do it in vain, all because the walls were too thick and the stone walls were hard.
With such a sturdy secret room, even if the top masters are trapped here, it is impossible to break through the wall and escape without the help of outsiders.
"Oops! My fifth line actually capsized in the gutter today, and was planted in the hands of this temple prince. "The fifth line has always admired the second son of the temple, Sheng, but he is not very eye-catching to the eldest son Sheng Zhiqiang. Therefore, today he was put on a position by Sheng Zhiqiang, and his heart was naturally very unhappy.
"Am I going to die here?" The fifth line saw that he couldn't go out, so he could only sigh and sigh.
"Fifth hero, how is it possible?" As soon as he finished the fifth line, someone immediately answered him.
The fifth line was surprised and delighted, at this moment, where the words came, suddenly the stone door flipped over, and two people appeared, it was actually Xiao Wang Ye and the second son of the temple, Sheng, who was inexplicable.
"Lord Wang, second son, why are you here?" The fifth line didn't understand why these two people appeared at the same time, so he couldn't help but ask.
"We are here to save you, time is pressing, let's enter the palace first, and the king will explain to you slowly on the way." As he spoke, King Xiao led the second prince to quickly rescue the fifth line out of the secret room, and then rushed straight to the palace.
