Chapter 274 Dongyang Shenjun
Lao Zhong was extremely fast, dissipating like a wisp of smoke. Even if Meng Qi used his full strength and used his Fengshen Kick, he couldn't catch up. Moreover, he didn't want to catch up. He was not a pure swordsman like Jiang Zhiwei. , unless necessary, he would not rashly challenge such a terrifying person whose realm and strength surpassed his own.
With Meng Qi's current strength, even if he adds treasure weapons and various means, he may not be able to defeat the worst half-step outdoor scene, unless he encounters the kind that the "Green Lantern in Front of the Buddha" can just suppress, let alone practice the "Devil Skill" There was no particularly important reason why he wanted to fight for life and death?
"Crazy people also have love..." Meng Qi muttered, thinking of Old Zhong's whisper just now, and turned around to examine each corpse carefully.
Yao Xingliu seemed hesitant to speak, but in the end, as a fledgling, he was a little frightened when faced with so many corpses that were dead or miserable or strange, so he withdrew from the "corpse forest" angrily and sat by the fire in a daze. After the ups and downs of things happened in the evening, he was already numb and no longer worried about the transformation of the corpse. In addition, he had the intention of pleasing Xiao Su, the head catcher, and he accompanied Meng Qi to check.
Unfortunately, there were no other clues. Meng Qi shook his head and walked towards the fire. At this time, most of the yard collapsed, with cracks everywhere, and it was a mess.
Fortunately, what we encountered was not an outdoor scene like a crying old man, otherwise Yao Xiaogui would have been fine, but Old Li Tou would definitely not have survived... Meng Qi thought happily.
In a normal outdoor fight, the affected area is less than 10% of his area of influence, which facilitates the concentration of power. Only the crying old man with special skills will expand the affected area as much as possible in order to maximize the absorption of wronged souls and improve the effect of his moves. Of course, if When encountering evenly matched opponents, who are involved in each other's agitation, it will be difficult to accurately control each move, and the scope of the impact will be greatly expanded. After a battle, it is possible to destroy the city and cut off the river.
The "living dead" transformed by the Ningzhou heroes are probably at the level of a normal first-person outdoor scene. They are stronger than Ben Bo'erba, a scumbag with no tricks or weapons. The scope of influence must be far smaller than the hundred-mile radius of the crying old man. Plus, The enemies they faced were much weaker than themselves, so they were controlled carefully and their power was concentrated. The range of influence was naturally very small, so as not to cause large-scale changes in the celestial phenomena and draw Mr. Cui out of the city.
It is precisely because of these two reasons that Li Chong was able to survive and Yao Xiaogui was able to help with his sword.
"Was it Jiuyue Gangquan just now?" Yao Xingliu was silent for a while and then asked.
The Zhenwu sect covers southern Huazhou and northern Ningzhou, and is relatively familiar with Ningzhou heroes.
Thinking that it was Zhang Yuanshan who introduced Ningzhou Hero and Jiuyue Gangquan to him and others, Meng Qi felt gloomy again: "Yes, I suspect it is Ningzhou Hero."
"It has been rumored that people killed by the Immortal Life and Death Sect will be resurrected after death and turn into ghosts. Now it seems that it is true." Yao Xingliu deliberately looked mature, but his baby face betrayed him, "But I don’t think the Ningzhou heroes are really dead..."
The hero of Ningzhou has a weak aura, half human and half ghost. Not only Meng Qi feels this way, but also Yao Xiaogui, as a half-assed Taoist priest.
Definitely not. Have you ever seen a dead person still have memories? Meng Qi secretly thought, if a person is really dead, his soul is scattered and his heart is dead, how can he have any memory?
Even if you regain a ray of life and become a zombie or a ghost, the memory of this life will become fragments and buried deep in the "mind" together with the incomplete marks of past reincarnations. Unless Meng Qi can awaken it now, the previous facts have proved that Ning Zhou Daxia did not really die, but was in a state between life and death. His memory was erased, his intelligence was bound, and he was considered a living dead. This may be the special feature of the impermanence of life and death sect.
"Exactly like this, all the people killed by the Life and Death Wuchang Sect can become 'living dead' for them to drive. Their strength has not dropped too much. The more they kill, the stronger they get. This is really worrying. Action must be taken against this matter." Meng Qi Answer in a tone that represents the justice of the court and justice in martial arts.
Yao Xingliu nodded solemnly: "I will report this matter to the master."
Over the years, the Life and Death Impermanence Sect has killed countless people. Just thinking about it is terrifying!
However, they act secretly, the appearance of the "living dead" has changed, and they rarely leave anyone alive during normal operations, so they have never been exposed.
"I will also prepare official documents to go to the capital of the gods." Meng Qi looked serious, "This place is not of much value. Let's go back to the city together."
Yao Xingliu and Li Chong agreed with this proposal.
Along the way, Yao Xingliu remained silent. He entered the city and was about to leave when he sent a message into the secret passage: "You, are you the 'Crazy Sword' Su Meng?"
He has a sword, a enlightened state, strong strength, and his surname is Su. With so many conditions added up, Li Chong may not be able to guess it due to his knowledge, but Yao Xiaogui is such a smart person, so he naturally has an idea.
Just now, Yao Xiaogui didn't run away from the battle. Meng Qi was more assured of his character and sighed: "Knife Madness."
There's no point in denying it anyway.
"No wonder...if I have a chance next time, I will challenge you!" Yao Xingliu was full of fighting spirit and turned around to leave.
He had previously wondered where Senior Brother Zhang found friends. If a young master with such strength appeared near Zhenwu, he, who was called a martial arts idiot, would not know?
It seems that he made the friend when he went to Shaolin. The friend named Meng he claimed at that time was Su Meng's Meng.
"Old Li, where does the adventure that Xiao Yue got belong to?" Meng Qi only glanced at the general introduction of the secret file to Xiao Yue, but the details were unknown.
Li Chong has been a policeman in Yangxia for so many years. Even if he doesn't read the secret files, he knows about this: "It is said to be a thatched cottage of the 'Dongyang Shenjun'."
"Dongyang Shenjun..." Meng Qi recalled carefully before he remembered who this person was.
At the end of ancient times and the beginning of the Middle Ages, the Human Emperor shocked the world and dominated the world. Strong human beings emerged one after another. 'Dongyang Shenjun' was one of them. Even if he was not the best among them, he was certainly of the level of Dharmakaya. It is said that he was the same as the Human Emperor. The "Holy Emperor" who succeeded him after his death has something to do with "Qi".
"Didn't you find anything else in the thatched cottage?" Meng Qi asked doubtfully, wouldn't there be only a set of sword dances and a Qianyuan concentration bead?
Li Chong shook his head: "I don't know. It seems that the thatched cottage is only open to those who are destined. Even Xiao Yue herself couldn't find the entrance the second time she wanted to go. Zhenwu, Huanyuan Zheng, Pingjin Cui and our six gates all have I’ve had location experts look for it, but nothing has come of it.”
"Is that so..." Meng Qi didn't ask any more questions. After returning to the six doors, he directly took out his official seal with green ribbon, inspired the misty green light, calmed the night watchman, and found Governor Zheng and asked him to take it. Special paper and pens were produced, specially prepared for the "Thousands of Miles in the Same Boat" formation.
——"The same boat thousands of miles away" can travel thousands of miles in an instant, but it is only limited to special things and powerful people with similar supernatural powers in the outside scene. It costs a lot to use it once. It is exclusive to the six doors. In order to maintain confidentiality and save money, the layout of each yamen is not complete. The core is at the Shendu headquarters, and it can only be activated by holding a special seal.
"...We must order the four nearby states and Jiangdong to be on guard against Lao Zhong and the Ningzhou heroes. One of them is cruel by nature, and the other has a crippled mind..." Meng Qi reported everything that happened tonight, including the matter of the living dead of the Impermanence Sect. , he just concealed his "magic method of changing the sky and striking the earth" and said that he could not control the backlash.
"Is it okay?" Meng Qi handed the official document to Old Li Tou and asked him to countersign. First, as a participant, it would increase the verification, and second, he would share part of the credit with him and Governor Zheng.
Li Chong was so excited that he trembled with excitement. He countersigned his name after a brief glance and handed it to Zheng Jushan.
Facing Su Qingshou, Zheng Jushan had no will to resist, and he also shared the credit. He was satisfied and signed immediately.
Meng Qi looked on with a smile, feeling dismayed. It was different to sneak into the organization. All the information about his martial arts came from his own hands. He could hide whatever he wanted to.
After sending away the official document, Meng Qi said bluntly: "Old Zhongtou's clues have been cut off. We must investigate the Qiu family. The top priority is to determine which boat Cai is on top of."
"Back in Qingshou, from the secret file, there were three ships parked at the dock by the Qiu family that night." Zheng Jushan looked at the secret file with a respectful attitude, "Two ships returned from Jiangdong, and one came from Yedu."
"It should be one of the two Jiangdong ships." This judgment was simple and clear. Meng Qi knew that Zheng Jushan and Li Chong could make similar deductions, but they just didn't say anything, waiting for him to speak.
"Su Qingshou is wise." Li Chong immediately praised, "We just need to check these two ships at night."
Zheng Jushan frowned and said: "Qingshou, more than a month has passed, and any traces should have been erased by the Qiu family. Besides, there is a ship full of cargo that has gone to Jiangdong. Why don't we just arrest people for interrogation?"
"It doesn't matter, let's go to the dock first to have a look and reconstruct the case." Meng Qi looked like a famous detective, only holding a pipe in his mouth.
Reconstruction of the case...what is this? Zheng Jushan and Li Chong have rich experience in cases, but they have never heard of this term.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at the dock at night.
"According to the sailor's words, he got off the boat from that location and walked to this place. On the way, he saw Capt. Cai leaving the Qiu family's boat and then collided with him. Let's walk back the same way." Meng Qi led Zheng Jushan and Li Chong "played" sailors.
There were many boats parked at Yangxia Pier, covering each other, and their field of vision was limited. Zheng Jushan and Li Chong followed Meng Qi for a few steps and immediately discovered the clues.
"From a sailor's perspective, he can only see one ship of the Qiu family!" Zheng Jushan said in a deep voice. From this position, there were many buildings and ships, and most of the place where the three ships of the Qiu family were originally parked was blocked.
Li Chong finally understood what reorganization of the case meant, and said in surprise: "That ship came from Jiangdong and is being repaired in the dock."
He knew the information and secret files by heart.
"Sure enough, there are clues." Meng Qi couldn't hide his pride, and led the two of them to the nearby dock, and quietly sneaked into the laxly guarded building ship.
It was clean inside and no clues could be found, but Meng Qi found that the damage to the ship was so serious that it had not been repaired for more than a month.
"It wasn't caused by the battle..." Zheng Jushan concluded.
Li Chong squatted down to check: "It was disconnected from the inside. It seems that it can't bear it and has reached its limit."
Meng Qi suddenly thought of Cai Captou's journey from Jiangdong to Yangxia in half a month, and an idea flashed over him: "It should be that this building boat used external force to rush at night and returned to Yangxia in half a month."
"It's possible!" After being reminded, Zheng Jushan and Li Chong both thought of this special time of half a month.
"The Qiu family is really in a hurry, what happened?" Zheng Jushan frowned and asked. For more than a month, Qiu Fei was calm and composed, without a trace of anxiety.
Meng Qi pondered for a moment and said: "This matter is of great importance. You should avoid it for now. I'll 'ask' the servant of the Qiu family who is guarding the boat."
"Yes, Qingshou." The two of them did not dare to say more.
With Meng Qi's skill, he quickly grabbed a servant without anyone noticing, and said with a powerful spirit: "You are returning from Jiangdong in this building ship?"
"Yes." The servant answered honestly.
"What abnormalities can be found?" Meng Qi gradually dug deeper.
The servant did not hesitate: "I walked very fast at night, for fear of being overtaken by the enemy."
"Enemy?" Meng Qi raised an eyebrow.
The servant said "Yes": "The uncle said there are enemies."
"Why are there enemies? Have you heard anything?" Meng Qi thought.
The servant shook his head: "I don't know. But one day it was my turn to watch the night, and I fell asleep even though I was not sleepy. I vaguely felt that the uncle was fighting with the enemy on the river, and he also mentioned things like Dongyang and Dongyang Villa..."
Dongyang Beppu... Meng Qi took a breath.
