Chapter 172: The Sword Enters the Capital and Turmoil
Peishui, the long river on which the capital city depends for its survival, has rolling water and numerous sail shadows, making it very lively.
Meng Qi and his party were standing on the bank of Pei River, looking at the rows of markets on the other side and the city gate in the distance.
"I haven't seen you in nine years. The capital is as prosperous as yesterday." Lu Guan half sighed and half sighed.
"If the Western captives go south and such a prosperous scene is lost, please ask Marshal Lu to take care of the health of the people and the world." Taoist Hu said sincerely.
He glanced at Meng Qi and sighed: "Little friend Meng, although I don't know your origins, this matter is all thanks to the help of you and Miss Ruan. Everyone in the world is afraid of the power of spies and the masters around him. You are the only one who can be trusted." Although I can’t thank you on behalf of the people in the world, I can thank you on my behalf.”
Lu Guan nodded lightly: "Heroes come from young, and Lu will bear in mind the kindness of these two little friends, and hope that he can repay them in the future."
"For the sake of justice and not personal favors, if Commander Lu can defeat the Xilu, it will be the best reward for us." Meng Qi still looked like a stern swordsman.
Lu Guan nodded solemnly: "It is Lu's lifelong ambition to expel the Western captives and eliminate future troubles forever."
With the capital in sight, pride and pressure suddenly arose in his heart. After boarding the boat, he remained silent, watching the rushing river and the crowds of people on the shore.
"Compared with the capital city, Yuexi is on earth and in the sky." Lu Zhongqi obviously relaxed a lot. After crossing Pei River and reaching the other side, he could find the inn and take out the imperial edict. By then the danger would be over.
So he was in the mood to admire both sides of the Pei River and the outline of the capital.
Taoist Hu chuckled and said, "I don't have any feelings about this. I just miss the number one scholar in Desheng Tower. Tsk, just thinking about it makes the wine bug in my stomach start to roll."
Along the way, he had actually refrained from drinking because he was afraid of causing trouble.
Meng Qi felt the river breeze and nodded slightly. The capital here was indeed larger and more prosperous than Xuanwu, but there were obviously fewer heroes with swords. Scholars and ladies were walking under the willows on both sides of the bank.
A large boat went down the river and passed in front of the ferry boat with five people sitting on it. Shadows enveloped it, as if the sky was darkening.
Suddenly, a figure rushed over from the building, the figure was very fast, and there was almost an afterimage.
His sleeves were spread out and fluttering in the wind, like a goshawk fighting a rabbit, perfectly forming a whole with the rolling river water, the slowly descending building boat, and the shadow between the two boats. Regardless of the angle or posture, It was extremely harmonious, as if it was being slapped with the surrounding heaven and earth, making Meng Qi feel like he was being rejected by buildings, boats, rivers, and shadows. It seemed that the world was so vast that there was no place for him.
This is a sense that is difficult to exhaust. Meng Qi seemed to be challenging the world alone. His momentum was weakened and he did not dare to move rashly. It seemed that a single hair could move his whole body.
At this moment, Meng Qi has a deeper understanding of these eight characters. It is not only the various psychological techniques, the creation of atmosphere and momentum, but also a little understanding of the world, all things, and the way of nature. Enlightenment.
This may be the only way to become a location... Meng Qi suddenly realized something.
The incoming person struck it with one palm, seemingly without exerting any force, and the emptiness grew larger and larger, making people extremely uncomfortable.
Zheng!
Meng Qi unsheathed his Bingque Sword and attacked directly. If he retreated, he would be completely at a disadvantage due to the entanglement and pressure of his energy, and it would be difficult to get back.
The long sword pointed diagonally, the tip of the sword trembling unsteadily, covering all the flaws of the attacker.
As soon as the sword light rose, the attacker froze slightly in mid-air, his palm skills changed, and the flaw disappeared first, becoming a trap for Meng Qi's long sword to fall into the net.
Meng Qi flicked his wrist, raised his sword, and pointed it at the attacker's throat.
As soon as the long sword changed, the opponent took the lead again. His palms misaligned, and the heat and coldness came swirling towards him, causing the long sword to bend.
Immortal seal!
Meng Qi instantly understood the identity of the other party, and also understood the reason why his two consecutive Dugu Nine Sword attacks had no effect!
The Immortal Seal is good at detecting enemies with his true energy and spirit. Before he even uses his sword, he can already get a glimpse of it from his muscle reactions, so he can naturally change first and set a trap!
Meng Qi took a deep breath, then whirled the long sword, slashing out crookedly, constantly changing, as if it would never end.
With a pinging sound, Meng Qi's long sword finally touched the opponent's palm. First it was masculine and fierce, and then it was feminine, seeming to pull Meng Qi over, making him feel so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood.
However, Meng Qi had already expected this, as if he had reached a new level in Dugu's Nine Swords. Anticipating the enemy's attack, he turned his long sword and took advantage of the transition between yang and yin to slash horizontally, as if to kill him. Empty space.
But just as the long sword changed, the opponent's palms also changed, and they happened to be located here, as if they came to the door on their own!
This time, even if we could detect the changes in Meng Qi's swordsmanship in advance, we would still be unable to dodge it!
Suddenly, the attacker raised his right palm and shot out circles of energy rings, "hooking" towards the tip of Meng Qi's sword.
Meng Qi felt weak and powerless, but also felt that the opponent's artistic conception was true, and he held his sword crookedly.
He has not yet mastered the Qi-breaking style!
Meng Qi had used his right hand to use the sword before, but now he stretched out his left hand and pulled out a long black sword. Contrary to the way other people used the sword, he slashed it out with a strong sense of worldliness.
The sword light lit up, and electric rays flashed, illuminating the shadows and immediately breaking the harmony between man and nature.
Splitting mountains to open roads and reclaiming land from the sea is the way to survive in this world, and it is the road to the mortal world with all kinds of desires!
The other party was startled, the aura collapsed on its own, and his eyes were slightly red, as if he was thinking of his own imperial hegemony and the Demon Sect's dominance.
The light of the sword reached his body, and he suddenly woke up. He was spinning in the air like a human being, and the power of the sword entered his body, disappearing like a mud cow entering the sea.
He pressed the tip of the knife with one palm, and his whole body flew back.
The building boat passed the small ferry, the shadow disappeared, and the sun shone again, bright and brilliant, and the previously suffocating battle was like a dream.
Meng Qi turned his head to look at the building boat, and happened to see a middle-aged scholar in a wide Confucian robe at the railing looking at him with his hands behind his back. The two people's eyes met, as if there was an electric spark jumping.
The evil king responded... Meng Qi returned his sword to its sheath, looking cold and calm.
Shocking Divine Sword Xiao Meng... Guan Ying's temples were slightly white, with a smile on his lips, and he looked indescribably elegant.
The two ships were getting farther and farther apart, and Meng Qi suddenly chanted:
"While talking and laughing about the emperor's hegemony, he couldn't bear the drunkenness of life."
Guan Ying's eyes changed slightly, and he looked at the river in the distance with his hands behind his hands, and his figure gradually disappeared where the shadows of the sails overlapped.
"I can't bear to be drunk in life, okay, okay! I like this poem!" Hu Taoist said with a loud laugh. He didn't expect Xiao Meng to have such talent and broad-mindedness.
The confrontation between Meng Qi and Xie Jun just passed by in a blink of an eye. Except for Ruan Yushu, no one else noticed it. They thought that the grand scene of the capital had made the usually indifferent Xiao Mengye become inspired by poetry.
Meng Qi smiled, covered his mouth with his right hand, coughed slightly, and took a peek, and saw a dark red lump inside.
Under the Immortal Seal just now, my true energy was stirred up and I suffered some internal injuries. Of course, since the golden bell cover has transformed the meridians and internal organs quite powerfully, the injury has basically no impact. If it had been anyone else, I'm afraid I would have to rest for a while. It takes time to recover.
However, Evil Lord is not intact!
Meng Qi pulled out Xie Jie and saw a trace of blood remaining on the tip of the knife, which was slightly charred under the electric light.
A knife for a palm, it's a tie! Meng Qi suddenly became passionate and inspired by the Immortal Seal, he suddenly had some understanding of the essence of the Heavenly Sword.
To be in harmony with the nature of heaven and earth, we must feel the corresponding way. The immortal seal method relies on the complementation and harmonious cooperation of true energy and spirit to have some external magic. Only when the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows is completed, the soul is improved, and the soul is Only by being powerful can one be able to sense the heaven and earth and enter the subtle realm.
Along the way, Meng Qi listened to their discussion and roughly understood the general divisions of realms, ordinary, master, earth realm, heaven realm, subtlety, and enlightenment.
Therefore, you can take the essence of your own transformation method and help you practice the Heavenly Sword.
Ruan Yushu seemed to feel the pride in Meng Qi's heart, and he played the guqin gently, and the music sounded heroic and profound.
The ferry arrived, and the five people stepped onto the pier and headed to the inn.
Under the arrangements of the inn officials, iron cavalry soon escorted Lu Guan, Meng Qi and others into Beijing.
Not long after, a group of people arrived outside the city. Meng Qi raised his head and looked at the tall city gate. Watching the door opening slowly unfolding like a scroll, he said in his heart, the Demon Queen, the National Master, the Evil Lord, the Ghost King...here I am. !
"Successfully escorted Lu Guan to Beijing. Once the main mission is completed, each person will be rewarded with 200 good deeds. After settling in, go to Xiaoxiang Tower and meet Luo Shengyi and his party to start the second main mission."
The majestic and solemn voice of the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation sounded in the hearts of Meng Qi and Ruan Yushu.
…………
In an elegant mansion, a very good-looking old man looked at the person in front of him in shock: "Did Lu Guan enter the capital alive?"
"Forgive me, Prime Minister, but I really didn't expect that Lu Guan would have a master no less than the Ghost King beside him." Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the man in front of him.
"Which master is it? Didn't you say that Evil Lord also took action?" The old man calmed down.
The person who reported the report shook his head: "I don't know where the evil king is. The master is very young and is called the 'Shocking Sword' Xiao Meng."
"Xiao Meng..." the old man repeated the name.
In the courtyard filled with the fragrance of flowers, a graceful veiled woman suddenly stood up: "Is Lu Guan not dead?"
"Yes, it is rumored that Evil Lord took action himself, but Lu Guan is still alive because there is a very strong master beside him, who is said to be 'Shocking Sword' Xiao Meng." The woman who reported was a little scared and a little scared when she mentioned Evil Lord. Disdainful.
"Hmph, isn't he said to be the best in the world in immortal sealing techniques...'Shocking Sword' Xiao Meng, who on earth is he..." The veiled woman paced back and forth.
In the Star Observation Tower, a white-haired old man looked at the astrolabe in front of him, frowned and said to his disciples: "Lu Guan is obviously going to die, why is there a meteor passing by and changing the traces?"
"Disciple doesn't know." His disciple couldn't understand it at all.
The white-haired old man whispered to himself: "Shocking Divine Sword Xiao Meng..."
