Chapter 72 The power of onlookers
Meng Qi kept hanging on to You Hongbo from a distance, not daring to get too close to avoid being discovered by the fortune teller. It was not until the moment the door closed that he was sure that the fortune teller had appeared, and he used all his strength to run over.
He Shiran jumped into the room, slowly closed the window, and waited for Maotu to speak first, so that he would not be unclear about the rules of the Twelve Phase God.
Seeing Shenhou looking leisurely back at home, You Hongbo was angry, annoyed and resentful. He always thought of himself as smart, but he didn't expect that he was just worried about the loss of the escort, and he was killed by Maotu and Shenhou. The two great fortune tellers were staring at him, but in his eagerness, he was unprepared.
"What are you doing here?" As expected, Maotu couldn't help but speak first.
Meng Qi chuckled: "Of course I have to capture Mr. You in exchange for the white jade Buddha statue. Otherwise, if more than a dozen masters surround the Buddha statue, I won't be able to steal it even if I have three heads and six arms."
He had already thought of the reason, but he was still complaining in his heart. If he really had three heads and six arms, he would have mastered the seventy-two transformations. Even if a master filled the room, he could still steal the Buddha statue easily.
"How could you steal the Buddha statue in such a high-profile manner?" Mao Tu had no doubts and asked about leaving a book and stealing the statue.
"The task I took on before could not have been completed without such a high profile." Meng Qi answered vaguely.
Regarding other people's missions, Mao Tu couldn't ask more questions and nodded: "My mission is to take away You Hongbo, so don't compete with me."
"It doesn't matter. As long as You Hongbo is missing, are you afraid that You Tongguang won't obey?" Meng Qi replied nonchalantly. Suddenly his eyes narrowed and he looked at the closed window and said in a deep voice, "The Sword God in White..."
Maotu was astonished and listened to what was going on outside, but suddenly he saw Shenhou's figure flashing forward and rushing in front of him like a ghost, with his hands pointing directly at the big holes in his chest.
Caught off guard, she was unable to dodge, so she could only respond tooth for tooth, eye for eye, grabbing Meng Qi's chest with both hands.
She didn't believe that she, who was good at hand skills, would be worse at acupoints than Shen Hou, who was only good at knife skills!
She was faster than Meng Qi in her attack speed. Her fingers were glowing with black light and she grabbed several large acupoints on her chest.
The dark golden light circulated, and Maotu felt that his hands had been stabbed into the golden stone. The pain was unbearable, and then his chest went numb and he stood frozen in place.
Meng Qi gasped for air, adjusted his breathing a few times, and allowed the numbness in his chest to disappear. The rabbit's acupuncture method was quite special. It could actually slightly penetrate the defense of the golden bell and affect his own acupuncture points. If he hadn't deliberately avoided it, If Tanzhong covers the door, it will probably be a lose-lose situation.
"It seems that you can never underestimate other people's skills, and you can't always be so simple and crude..." Meng Qi secretly concluded.
He knew that he knew very little about the internal affairs of the Twelve-phase God, and any wrong answer would arouse suspicion. Therefore, he never thought of tricking Maotu from the beginning to the end, but planned to catch her directly and torture the Twelve-phase God. God's secrets, passwords, dialogues and other details can be successfully blended in and complete side tasks.
"What do you want to do?" Maotu asked in horror.
Meng Qi didn't answer, but directly sealed her and You Hongbo's acupuncture points, and led them out.
This is not a good place to grill for information.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Meng Qi suddenly stopped, with a solemn expression under his playful monkey head.
Under the parasol trees in the courtyard, fallen leaves were swirling, white clothes beat the snow, and a long sword glowed with cold light, attracting all the attention.
The man holding the sword is tall and thin, with brows like a dragon and a nose like a hanging gallbladder. His white clothes are spotless, and he is a bit decisive in his coldness.
He has outstanding appearance, but everyone will ignore this and only pay attention to his deep and sharp black eyes.
The sword god in white, Luo Qing!
Meng Qi heard the name almost helplessly in his heart. Could it be that he had a crow's mouth and would come whenever he said it?
Luo Qing stared at Meng Qi and said coldly: "The twelve-phase god has committed a heinous crime and must be punished."
Then he raised his sword and said calmly: "Draw the sword."
Can I say that I am not Shen Hou... Meng Qi didn't know what Luo Qing's position was, so it was naturally impossible for him to reveal his identity, so he put down Mao Tu and You Hongbo, pulled out the sword with his right hand, immersed himself in it, and touched the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle with his left hand.
The long sword thrust out, and all the brilliance in the entire courtyard seemed to be concentrated on the sword. The cold light made people feel it on their skin.
Within Meng Qi's sight, there was only that sword light. It occupied all the space, covered the sky, and struck from all directions. It was so majestic and unstoppable.
The power of a sword is terrifying!
Meng Qi knew that his senses had been completely affected, but he knew that at this time, there was no way to tell where the real sword was coming from. I was afraid that even if he set up an iron wall to defend himself, it would only be an "iron wall" after the sensory effects. The real situation It's full of loopholes.
Luo Qing seems to have mastered the secret secrets. No wonder he dared to challenge Cui Xu when he first became a master!
And he is more terrifying than Cui Xu. He is not like a shadow, but has swords hidden in all directions. The rainstorm pear blossom needle can only be used in one direction, so there is nothing he can do!
Meng Qi closed his eyes, suppressed his hearing, and forgot about his skin. The whole world suddenly became quiet, as if he was chanting sutras in a Buddhist hall, as if he was forgetting himself in concentration, as if he was drumming in the evening and in the morning.
Then, the long sword was raised, the Buddha statue collapsed, the noise was heard, and the bells and drums were broken!
The sword's intention burst out, unconcealed, and Meng Qi miraculously grasped the traces of Luo Qing's sword thrust.
Luo Qing looked slightly dazed, as if he was disturbed by the intention of the sword, and the sword became a little slower.
Just as Meng Qi was about to "cut off the pure" and attack Luo Qing, seven or eight people suddenly flew in from outside the courtyard, some with bare hands, some with long sticks, and various weapons, but they had one What they have in common is that they all wear masks, which are rat, tiger, ox, snake, etc.
Twelve phase gods?
Meng Qi was shocked. The "Duan Qingjing" did not strike out, and the target of these seven or eight phase gods was not Meng Qi. Taking advantage of Luo Qing's slight daze, they added swords and sticks to attack with murderous intent.
With a stroke of Luo Qing's long sword, most of Xiang Shen's weapons miraculously changed their direction and hit the empty spot. Only Zi Shu flew up with his palms and bullied Luo Qing.
Luo Qing's expression remained unchanged, his sword moved downwards, and he directly stabbed Zi Shu's palms with the hilt.
Are they using me to assassinate Luo Qing?
Seeing this, Meng Qi was shocked. Fortunately, he didn't actually use "Breaking Purity". Otherwise, if someone knew about his trump card, it would be a big deal. After losing his strength, he would encounter this group of vicious phase gods, which would be really bad.
At this time, there was a melee, and it was unknown whether there was an ambush outside. Meng Qi did not want to get entangled, so he grabbed You Hongbo and ran away.
Although I don't know where the trick is, the current facts have proved that the Twelve Xiangshen has already seen through his identity, and used this to set a trap, using You Hongbo's incident to lure him into a duel with Luo Qing, and wait until the critical moment , suddenly assassinated Luo Qing!
Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether you catch the rabbit or not.
All the Prime Ministers who came were dealing with the Sword God in white, and no one stopped Meng Qi from disappearing in a flash. Only Mao Tu stood up slowly and stared at Meng Qi's back.
Her acupuncture points were not sealed!
"Your acupuncture skills are so bad, and I want to trick you..." she said through gritted teeth, but she thought that her strength was quite different from Meng Qi's, so she didn't dare to pursue him.
After leaving Dabei Temple far away and walking around several times, Meng Qicai slowed down and doubts arose in his heart:
"How did I show my weakness?"
"Why are they so sure that I can interfere with or counter Luo Qing's one or two, so that I won't be killed instantly?"
"They are so arrogant that they dare to assassinate the Grandmaster..."
…………
Late at night the next day, Meng Qi, who was as normal as a normal person, quietly came to the vicinity of You Mansion. Looking around, hey, all the places where people can be hidden are full of people!
Many martial arts people came to watch Shenhou steal the Buddha. Firstly, this was something worth showing off, and secondly, they wanted to try their luck. What if they could catch Shenhou?
"Master Zhending, here, here?" Le Shishi's voice came from above. Meng Qi looked up and found that the four of them were hiding on the beams under the eaves.
"Master Zhending, this is the only place that has a place." Ding Daogu also said in a low voice.
The corner of Meng Qi's mouth twitched. Is this a concert venue or a place where a murderer from all over the world works?
Climbing up the beam, Meng Qi looked at You Mansion in the distance and asked in a low voice: "Shen Hou hasn't come yet?"
"No, I heard that twenty masters including the Living God of Wealth surrounded the Buddha statue in the center, and no one could steal it." Nie Yao said the information she had found.
…………
In the main hall of You family, there is a square table with a white jade Buddha statue on it. Headed by You Tongguang, twenty masters surrounded it so that no birds can fly in and no insects can crawl in.
"Lao You, what else are you worried about? Even if you are a master, you can only take it by force, so how can Shen Hou be a master?" An old man wearing a Fu Lu robe and looking like a member of the imperial family chuckled.
You Tongguang sighed: "I'm always uneasy."
Before he finished speaking, there was a loud bang, which made the house tremble slightly.
"Tianleizi from Perak Hall?" an old man exclaimed.
"Be careful of the monkey to lure the tiger away from the mountain!" You Tongguang reminded loudly, so everyone turned their backs to the square table, guarding the entrances and the roof.
At this time, someone shouted from a distance:
"Third Master has been arrested!"
"Third Master has been arrested!"
You Tongguang's expression changed greatly: "Please hold on, I'll go rescue the dog."
The Jade Buddha is not as important as his son!
Others were speechless, instead speculating whether Shenhou's real target was You Hongbo and the Buddha statue was just a diversionary strategy.
During the discussion, You Tongguang had already chased away, and they continued to be on guard.
After a while, the hustle and bustle gradually stopped, and You Tongguang came back with the depressed You Hongbo. Just as he stepped inside, his expression suddenly froze, and his eyes froze behind everyone.
"Lao You, what's wrong?" Someone was secretly worried.
You Tongguang pointed behind them: "The Jade Buddha has been stolen..."
Everyone turned their heads in shock and found that there was no white jade Buddha statue on the square table, only a piece of paper lying there alone!
"Thank you very much for the gift. I give my thanks to Shen Hou."
Someone read it blankly.
