Chapter 66 The Sword God in White (please click and recommend)
The place where Meng Qi saw Cui Xu was not the main hall of the city lord's palace, nor the study, but the garden between the inner and outer courtyards.
Cui Xu is a thin middle-aged man. It can be seen that when he was young, he was definitely worthy of the eight characters of handsome and unrestrained Yushu Linfeng. Even now, he has a long beard and a graceful demeanor. He has a cold but elegant look from his bones. temperament.
He was accompanied by four people, two of whom Meng Qi had met before. One was Miss Cui Jinxiu, who was pretty and dressed in red, and the other was the horse-faced and long-bearded chief catcher Fei Zhengqing.
The remaining two are slightly older than Fei Zhengqing. One is a rich old man with gray hair and many wrinkles, but has a rosy face and a straight back. He often smiles, which makes people feel particularly friendly and easy-going. The other is over half a year old. Hundreds, red face, broom eyebrows, lush beard and hair.
When he saw such a group of five people, Meng Qi was slightly startled. There was Miss Cui but not the Young City Lord Cui Jinhua. Could it be that he was out for something?
"Master Zhending, Cui has taken the liberty to invite you, please forgive me." Although Cui Xu always looked cold and stern, as a righteous master, he did not lose his courtesy.
Meng Qi clasped his hands together and said bluntly: "Amitabha, the twelve beasts have brought trouble to the world, and their men are full of blood and debts, and they are all guilty. After hearing that Shen Hou committed a murder in Tianding City, even if the city lord did not invite him, the poor monk would commit suicide. Come."
After Cui Xu said hello, he kept a stern expression, nodded and said: "Master Zhending is kind-hearted. Cui expresses his gratitude on behalf of the people of Tianding City."
After the greetings, Fei Zhengqing took over the topic with a smile: "Master Zhending, I am a guest from afar. Fei will introduce you to me. Fei Zhengqing, Tian is the chief arrester of Tianding City and is responsible for arresting Shen Houzhi. Well, this is Mr. You Tongguang You, the sworn brother of the city lord, nicknamed the 'Living God of Wealth'."
He pointed at the old man who was always smiling.
He is You Tongguang... Meng Qi met Li calmly and kept the other person's appearance, figure, clothing and grooming in mind.
"This is Mr. Mu Shan, the general manager of the Eighteen Waterways in the South. He is also the sworn brother of the city lord, known as Mr. Mu." Fei Zhengqing introduced the old man with a rosy face and thick beard.
Mu Shan nodded slightly and looked at Meng Qi with doubt.
"Fei won't introduce Jinxiu's niece, you must be familiar with her." Fei Zhengqing put away his smile and said sincerely, "Master Zhending, you can kill Shen Monkey with a sword, you are definitely a master among the best in the world. To arrest him this time, Please help me a lot.”
"Hey." Mu Shan smiled with a touch of contempt, but he didn't do anything drastic.
"Mr. Fei, just ask." Since he is currently in the most common height category, which is similar to Shenhou, Meng Qi is not worried that Fei Zhengqing can tell that he is "Shenhou" just by looking at his figure.
Fei Zhengqing nodded: "Master, please don't mind Fei's cross-examination. It's just custom for Fei to plead guilty here."
After receiving Meng Qi's affirmative answer, he began to ask: "I wonder where Master came from and where did he meet Shen Hou?"
"The poor monk returned from the far west and was traveling all over the world. When he was sailing on the river, he happened to see Shen Hou killing the benefactor Zhang and his wife..." Following Fei Zhengqing's question, Meng Qi described the incident truthfully and falsely. After doing it once, he said that his sword skills were outstanding, and he severely injured Shen Hou with one move advantage. However, Shen Hou was equipped with horizontal kung fu and faked his death to escape.
Fei Zhengqing kept asking about the details, but Meng Qi had already considered everything to ensure that it was consistent with the description of Zhang Zongxian and his wife, without revealing any contradictions.
"Master Zhending is truly a master of swordsmanship. Shenhou, who has such great horizontal kung fu and swordsmanship skills, was defeated by you. It's embarrassing to say that. Judging from the fact that the host Jin Ancheng was easily killed and there were not many signs of a fight at the scene, I'm afraid Fei is no match for Shen Hou." Fei Zhengqing praised with a smile, but there was still some confusion in his expression.
Even though Shen Hou's injuries were not serious due to his horizontal kung fu training, he was just injured in the first half of the night and was able to defeat himself vigorously in the second half of the night. It was too miraculous and unbelievable, unless Shen Hou's martial arts had reached a certain level. It’s only half a step away from opening up the secrets of the human body.
And in this way, the Zhending who can defeat him head-on is at least a master of this level. Considering his age, this is too terrifying!
Before Meng Qi could answer, Mu Shan laughed twice without a smile, stared at Meng Qi as sharply as an eagle and said: "Master Zhending, your story is very good, but I don't believe it. He is a genius, but hard work is indispensable!"
"Let me weigh you!"
While he was speaking, he had already pulled out the long knife from his waist and rubbed his body. Cui Xu, Fei Zhengqing and You Tongguang did not stop him, but looked at Meng Qi with burning eyes.
Meng Qi, who was sitting on the stone bench with a smile on his face, did not move, and with a slight stroke of the knife, like an antelope hanging its horns, when Mu Shan was about to use his knife, it struck the place where he felt most uncomfortable.
This is not the Blood Sword Technique, nor the Five Tigers Cutting the Door Technique, but Meng Qi's decomposition of the relatively simple changes in "Du Jingjing" when he repeatedly pondered over the "Ananda Pojie Sword Technique" in the past seven months. Using his own two sword skills as the skeleton, he has developed several sword skills that do not involve the intention of the sword.
Over time, Meng Qi hopes that this can become a complete set of sword techniques, a set of sword techniques that can be considered good even in the awakening stage.
Even if there is no immersion in the sword intention, the changes have lost their charm and excitement, according to the standards of the Qi accumulation period, these moves can be considered exquisite and contain an indescribable charm.
In addition to the seven great masters in this world who have not yet fought against each other, Meng Qi feels that the top group of masters are those who are close to the level of Qi Accumulation. For some reason, Meng Qi feels that there seems to be something missing and something more in practicing in this world. The shackles, the efficiency is far less than what it was in Shaolin itself.
Seeing Meng Qi's magical sword, Cui Xu narrowed his eyes slightly. Fei Zhengqing and You Tongguang also lost other expressions on their faces at the same time, with shock hidden in their concentration.
The sword's power was interrupted at the critical moment. Mu Shan felt his energy and blood boiling, and his breathing was suffocated. However, he was old-hearted, gritted his teeth, took a diagonal step around Meng Qi, and slashed to the side.
Meng Qi didn't move his feet or body, and he casually struck out with his sword, like a waterfall hanging upside down. The noise shook the sky, and it struck directly at the weak point of Mu Shan's sword, forcing him to take a step back.
Mu Shan roared angrily and stepped forward again, but the three consecutive attacks disappeared with thunder and rain after Meng Qi's seemingly casual slash.
"Third brother, stop testing. Master Zhending's sword skills are amazing." Cui Xu stopped Mu Shan from doing anything again, and described the sword skills that Meng Qi had developed as "amazing".
Mu Shan stopped, gasping for air, and recalling what had just happened, his self-supporting competitive spirit suddenly shattered.
Seeing this, Meng Qi smiled slightly: "You should not be praised by the city lord."
His sword skills were too fragmented and unsystematic, and the changes were not coherent enough. If he continued to fight, he would lose the magical effect. After a few moves, Mu Shan suddenly figured out the problem and pulled him off the stone bench. He pressed up and started fighting with his body skills. Once the "Magic Movement" skill was used, how could Fei Zhengqing not recognize it? Last night, when I was struggling to hold on under the Black Shadow Sword, my "Divine Movement" was fully displayed.
Therefore, Cui Xu called a stop just in time.
Cui Xu turned to look at Fei Zhengqing. Fei Zhengqing shook his head in shock and solemnity, indicating that this was completely different from Shen Hou's sword technique and belonged to two different levels.
In addition to the common open and close sword skills, Shen Hou's sword skills also have a touch of demonic color. Whether it is the use of the sword or the movement, they are all weird and unpredictable, not like the right way. Master Zhending's sword skills have a long and mysterious charm. Containing the most rational, exquisite and exquisite.
Cui Jinxiu, Miss Cui, had not closed her mouth since Meng Qi took out the sword. She stared blankly at the fight between the two, and now she said as if she was dreaming: "Master, it turns out that when you fought with me, you never used your full strength..."
I thought that there was not much difference between myself and the Master and Shen Hou...
Cui Xu stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Because Shen Hou was injured a long time ago, Cui previously suspected that Shen Hou last night was a mage pretending to be a mage. Now it seems that he is actually judging a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Please forgive me for my sins." ”
He spoke up and apologized.
"The poor monk can understand the eagerness of the city lord." Meng Qi replied "sincerely".
Just when he was about to ask "Shen Monkey" about the crime, a servant suddenly came in from outside the garden, with a look of shock and fear on his face.
"City Lord, City Lord, something bad has happened!" He raised the red post in his hand without finding the point.
Everyone, including Meng Qi, looked over. Cui Xu said in a deep voice, "Speak slowly."
The servant took a few breaths, then handed over the red sticker and said, "City Lord, this is the letter of challenge from the Sword God in White. In seven days, he will come to challenge you."
The matter had already spread a lot, so he ignored Meng Qi's presence.
"White Sword God" Luo Qing?
This is one of the seven great masters!
This will be a rare master showdown!
Meng Qi and others were quite shocked, but Cui Xu's expression remained unchanged: "Cui has wanted to learn the swordsmanship of Master Luo for a long time."
With such a sentence, even if he agrees to it, the battle between the masters is inevitable!
"It's been such an eventful time..." You Tongguang and Fei Zhengqing sighed at the same time.
Because of this incident, they turned their attention away from Shen Hou, and after briefly communicating with Meng Qi, they sent him out of the house.
"They are still using the same words as those rumored outside. What are they trying to cover up? Or are they afraid of alerting others?" This matter was confusing and made Meng Qi scratch his head.
"However, such a big thing happened today. I'm afraid You Tongguang will go home very late, but it gave me a chance." Meng Qi thought to himself.
Because You Tongguang may be a remnant of the Snow God Palace, and may have mastered strange martial arts such as the "Transformation Technique", Meng Qi did not come directly to him like he did with Jin Ancheng, but planned to take a roundabout way.
Moreover, Meng Qi also wanted to take this opportunity to find a way to complete the side mission.
…………
As night fell, Meng Qi, who had been paying attention to You Mansion and made sure that You Tongguang had not returned, put on his night clothes, put on a mask, unfolded his body skills, and quietly sneaked into You Tongguang's study.
There is nothing special in You Tongguang's study, except for a Buddha statue carved from mutton-fat white jade that seems to be priceless.
Meng Qi searched You Tongguang's bedroom nearby, but found no clues about the Snow God Palace, so he returned to the study, found a piece of white paper, and deliberately changed the writing style to imitate the bandit commander Chu Liuxiang and wrote:
"I heard that you have a white jade Buddha statue. It was carved by skillful hands. It is a miraculous craftsmanship. I am fascinated by it. I have a look at it today. I sincerely don't deceive me."
"However, it is not the way to be a guest without asking to pick it up. I leave this letter to tell you sincerely that I will come to pick it up on the moon in six days. You are so elegant and elegant that I will not make my journey back and forth in vain."
"Shen Hou pays homage."
