Chapter 4: The Mystery of Life

After the three of them discussed Meng Xiaofan's ghost hand, Chen Qi and Meng Xiaofan's discussion began. But it ended at the beginning, and within two moves, Meng Xiaofan was already defeated by Chen Qi.

This is the first time Chen Qi has used Tianwen swordsmanship to fight outsiders, plus he doesn't know much about Meng Xiaofan's martial arts, so he goes all out and takes it seriously. Meng Xiaofan learned from Meng Bufan, Meng Bufan is known as the "ghost hand" in the rivers and lakes, but he has strong stealing skills and extraordinary skills, but his fighting skills are not good. In addition, Meng Xiaofan was only accepted by Meng Bufan when he was a teenager, although he is also very smart, but he has been used to wandering since he was a child, and his qualitative nature is insufficient, and Meng Bufan is not effective in supervision, so his martial arts have no power at all in front of Chen Qi.

"Qi'er's Tianwen Sword is really powerful!" Meng Bufan said while applauding, his face beaming with joy.

When the three teenagers heard the sound, they found that the three elders were standing not far from them at some point.

Meng Bufan turned to Meng Xiaofan, put away his smile, and reprimanded: "Usually you are always lazy when you practice, but now you are embarrassed to use the kung fu of this three-legged cat." ”

Meng Xiaofan pursed his lips and muttered: "My three-legged cat kung fu is also taught by you, if your martial arts are so powerful, will I be lazy?"

Although his voice was small, everyone present heard it, Meng Bufan glared at him fiercely, and was about to speak, but Ding Yuanshan was the first to laugh and said: "Xiao Fanxian's nephew is cute by nature. Qi'er, all of you come into the house, and I have something to say to you with your Uncle Meng. ”

When everyone heard the sound, they all walked towards the bamboo house, and entered the house one after another, and when they were seated, Ding Yuanshan looked at Chen Qi and said: "Qi'er, your martial arts have just become successful, and this time you let Uncle Meng come to take you out of here and go to the rivers and lakes to experience and practice." ”

Chen Qi stood up, knelt on his knees, and said, "The apprentice doesn't want to leave you and Shiniang. ”

Mu Xinyue stood up and helped him up, smiled, and said, "Your master and I just asked you to follow Uncle Meng to take a look outside, not that you won't be allowed to come back if you leave here, when you think it's not fun outside, you can come back at any time." ”

"Yes," Ding Yuanshan also said, "Master and your master are old, and they don't want to go outside, you are still young, you have grown up here since you were a child, and you have not seen the outside world, I used to think that your martial arts have not been successful, and I am afraid that you will go out and waste your cultivation, and besides, if you go out by yourself, I and your master are not at ease, and now your Tianwen sword technique and Yunxi heart method have been practiced, so Master asked you to follow Uncle Meng out, your Uncle Meng has been traveling the rivers and lakes for a long time, and you follow him out, and your master and I are very relieved." ”

"But ......"

Chen Qi was just about to speak, but Ding Yuanshan interrupted him and continued: "Letting you go out to experience is only one aspect, the most important thing is to let you personally find out your life experience. ”

"Didn't Brother Qi be raised by his father and mother since childhood, and what kind of background can he have?" Ding Muxi asked with a puzzled expression. In fact, not only Ding Muxi was puzzled, but Chen Qi and Meng Xiaofan were also puzzled. Chen Qi grew up beside his master since he was a child, and he knew that he was an orphan with no relatives and no reason, but now the master suddenly mentioned his life experience, and thought to himself: "Do you have relatives to reincarnate?"

Looking at Chen Qi's suspicious expression, Ding Yuanshan continued: "Eighteen years ago, your Uncle Meng picked you up in the Yunxi River and sent you to Master, when you were still an infant baby, in addition to the clothes you were wearing, there was only this piece of green cloth stuffed in your clothes. Ding Yuanshan said, took out a stack of square green cloth from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Qi.

Chen Qi took the green cloth that recorded his life experience with trembling hands, he stared at it and didn't dare to open it, he didn't know what kind of scene he would see after opening it.

Ding Muxi stepped forward and said, "Brother Qi......"

Chen Qi looked up at Ding Muxi, Ding Muxi nodded to him, and then Chen Qicai carefully opened the green cloth.

This piece of green cloth should have been torn from the clothes, only a foot square, because the color had been dull because of the passage of time.

After opening it carefully, it was written: "My village is in distress and I hope that well-wishers will take in my son Chen Qi"

The words on it were red, and the handwriting was very grassy, and at a glance, it was clear that it was written by a person who bit his finger in a panic and wrote it with blood. There is also an unfinished word after the word "Qi", which is illegible, so it should be that the situation was urgent at that time and it was impossible to continue writing.

"Qi'er," Meng Bufan said: "At that time, I came to visit your master, and I saw a big wooden basin in the Yunxi River, and when I got close to the wooden basin to see, you were lying quietly sleeping in it, I found this cloth on you, and after reading the blood words on it, I brought you here, and your master and mother saw that you liked it very much, so they kept you. After I left, I searched around the Yunxi River to find a hint of news or clues about your parents, but unfortunately I couldn't find it. I've been secretly looking for it all these years, but I still don't have any clues, so I never mentioned it to you, but now that you are an adult and have practiced martial arts, your master decided to let you out of the mountain to see if you can find the truth about your life experience. ”

"Uncle Meng hasn't found any clues, it's been eighteen years, can Brother Qi still find out the truth?" asked Ding Muxi.

Meng Bufan said: "But although I didn't find any clues, judging from the big events that happened eighteen years ago, most of them were done by the Tianyi Sect. ”

"Tianyi Sect?" Ding Muxi, Chen Qi and Meng Xiaofan asked at the same time.

"Yes, Tianyi Sect. In order to solve the doubts of a few people, Meng Bufan continued, "Eighteen years ago, a Tianyi Sect suddenly appeared, and several sects in the martial arts were wiped out one after another, and even the current four major martial arts families were not spared, and they were more or less damaged, especially Tianyun Villa, only the second son Lu Guiyuan, the owner of the village, Lu Jinshan, and the rest of the people all died tragically. But this Tianyi Sect only existed for a year, and then disappeared, as if it had never appeared, and the gradually recovering Tianyun Villa and several other families and sects have been inquiring about the whereabouts of the Tianyi Sect for many years, but there is no clue, so that the rivers and lakes circulate, saying that the Tianyi Sect is sent by the imperial court, the purpose is to weaken the increasingly powerful Jianghu forces, for fear of endangering the imperial power, but in my opinion, it is not, these Jianghu gangs, although there are some forces, but they are all independent, and it is impossible to endanger the imperial power. ”

"Yes," Ding Yuanshan said, "Not to mention that individual rivers and lakes are powerful, even if all the martial arts gangs are united, it is impossible to endanger the imperial power, not to mention that they simply act separately." I guess this Tianyi Sect should have been temporarily formed by some people to achieve some goals, maybe these people had already achieved their goals at that time, so the Tianyi Sect was disbanded. That's why after the martial arts tribulation eighteen years ago, people have nowhere to check. ”

"It just depends on who has benefited the most from that catastrophe, and it may be the person behind the scenes. Meng Xiaofan said.

"You have a point, but after that catastrophe, there are too many people who want to say that they have profited, but everyone who has profited has lost a lot, and there are no simple profiteers, so it is difficult to say that they are the people behind the scenes. Meng Bufan looked at the disciple and said.

"Either way, I'm going to get to the bottom of it. Chen Qi clenched his hands tightly and said firmly.

Ding Yuanshan took a step forward, looked at Chen Qi and said, "You can't be burdened by this matter, do your best, even if there is no result in the end, I don't think your biological parents will blame you." ”

Chen Qi nodded.
