Chapter 285 Split up
Maoling, a tavern where people from the lower class gather.
Meng Qi once again changed his appearance and figure a little, stepped into a dark and smelly place, ordered a pot of wine and a stack of broad beans, and sat in a corner, quietly listening to others discussing the affairs of the world.
Just in front of him, a man with long arms and legs, who seemed to be practicing through-arm boxing, finally waited for his companion. He was excited but deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Have you heard? Last night's 'Shocking Baili' and 'Crazy Knife' There was a big battle in Guanjinyuan!”
His companion, dressed as an escort, laughed and said, "I know more details than you do. The chief escort heard the news last night and rushed to investigate in person."
Having said this, his expression calmed down, and Da Ma Jin Dao sat down and drank a glass of wine. His expression did not know whether it was envy, frustration, or looking up to him: "The battle with Kai Qiao was actually comparable to the destruction of a top-notch master on location. The wind and clouds were surging, and the lightning was There was thunder and lightning, the earth cracked, trees were broken, turf flew away, houses collapsed, and everything was scorched..."
His tone was a little sleepy.
"Is this so scary?"
"How could this happen!"
The man with long arms and legs and another companion exclaimed in unison, full of disbelief.
The bodyguard sighed: "The top ten on the list are indeed well-deserved. Even if 'Crazy Sword' Su Meng is not in the top ten, he is not far away."
"So, Crazy Blade lost?" The man with long hands and legs tasted the taste.
The escort pondered for a moment: "It is said that he was at a disadvantage, but he was still able to force back 'Shocking Baili' with all his strength and leave safely."
"No wonder you said he was close to the top ten." Another companion clicked his lips, "Why on earth did they fight? A fight over the rankings?"
The bodyguard looked slightly strange: "Jiang Hengchuan's cousin was killed, the mad sword was at the scene, and the wound was caused by lightning."
"What does Crazy Blade want to do? It won't bring harm to the family!" The man with long arms and legs lost his voice.
The bodyguard's expression became more and more strange: "But today Jiang Hengchuan made a statement to several celebrities that yesterday he was too reckless and did not ask the truth. He wronged Kuang Dao. It was too coincidental and there must be fraud. Moreover, although the knife wound was caused by lightning, Attributes, but actually slightly different from Crazy Sword’s sword skills and weapons, so he searched widely for Crazy Sword’s forgiveness.”
"This..." The other two people looked at each other, this change was too fast, right?
But it’s normal to think about it. To be on the list of people, Jiang Hengchuan’s spiritual cultivation cannot be weak. Even if he is crazy, even if he is crazy, he will not fill his head with anger and ignore the strange things and evidence. Once he calms down, he will naturally find out No, respond correctly.
Meng Qi listened quietly and confirmed from different people in the world that Jiang Hengchuan's request for forgiveness had spread throughout the martial arts world, and the possibility of fraud was very small. Then Shi Shiran got up, went out to do some shopping, and bought a black outfit. , restored appearance and figure, carried a sword on his back, and walked on the street.
Three quarters of an hour later, Meng Qi was not surprised to see Jiang Hengchuan arriving like a swimming fish.
He shuttled among the crowd, always missing someone by the slightest chance, but always just passing by and approaching quickly.
"Young Master Su, Jiang was reckless and rude yesterday, and I'm here to accuse him." Jiang Hengchuan's posture was very low, but his natural and interesting feeling in every gesture has not diminished at all. His thick eyebrows are still the same as that of a farmer.
Meng Qi accepted the gift calmly: "Brother Jiang, it's noisy here, why not find a quiet place to talk in detail."
"Very good." Jiang Hengchuan said nothing and turned around to lead the way.
He chose the Hero Building.
Because Meng Qi had already passed through, Jiang Hengchuan was also well-known, and they had teamed up to produce exterior-level destructive power yesterday, so there was no one to stop them all the way, and they climbed directly to the fifth floor, where the sky is vast and the river is small.
There was no one on the fifth floor, so they found a corner and waited quietly for tea.
The aroma of tea filled their nostrils. They each took a sip. Jiang Hengchuan stood up and apologized again: "Jiang was so angry yesterday that he lost his mood. Please forgive Su Shaoxia."
"In that situation, I wouldn't be able to calm down. I have to take down the person in front of me." Meng Qi replied casually, showing no hatred for Jiang Hengchuan.
But he was thinking about Jiang Hengchuan's words. Did he lose his mood yesterday?
In the middle of the night yesterday, when Meng Qi reviewed the battle, he felt that the reason why he was completely at a disadvantage was not only the gap in his own strength, but also the failure in mental and spiritual confrontation. After all, he was unable to generate real fighting spirit when facing the suffering master. , hesitating in his heart, his momentum was naturally suppressed, and he could only exert 70% to 80% of his strength.
But now it seems that Jiang Hengchuan also has a loophole in his mind and has lost his temper. The two sides are facing each other. The battle last night should be a comparison of real strength.
You still have to work hard!
In a month or two, his seven orifices will be completely stable, and he can make preliminary adjustments to the inner world. At that time, his realm will be fed back to his sword skills and sword skills, and his strength will be improved.
Jiang Hengchuan's dark skin concealed the change in his face, and he said a little self-deprecatingly: "No, the normal approach should be to be polite first and then attack. First, ask Su Shaoxia to stay and check the body together. If he is unwilling, then take action."
"Later, I inspected the body with Liumen Yu Yinzhang, Dai Qingshou, and Mr. Liang of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau. We found that except for the traces of lightning, the true energy was a deliberately imitated Shaolin Golden Bell. However, Mr. Liang was a lay disciple of Shaolin. After discovering some slight differences and identifying the frame-up, Jiang knew that he had made a big mistake."
The true energy can simulate the golden bell... There are not many martial arts like this... Meng Qi fell into deep thought. However, due to the vastness of the main world and the variety of martial arts, there were countless ones that he had never heard of, and he could not find any clues for a while.
Could it be the Xiao Wuxiang Gong... Meng Qi thought divergently. Even the Tianmo Gong was involved in this matter, so the appearance of Xiao Wuxiang Gong was no coincidence.
To be honest, Meng Qi's Bajiu Xuan Gong could also be imitated. When he cultivated this peerless magic skill to the seven orifices stage, the inner world would be formed, and his control over the body and soul would be stronger. His grasp of the details of the true qi and the flesh would be unmatched by anyone at the same level. As long as there is a corresponding secret book for reference, changing the true qi and simulating the abnormality is a matter of course.
After a moment of hesitation, Meng Qi frowned and said, "He can imitate Shaolin's unique skills. Do you have any clues?"
"Not yet. Although there are not many similar skills, some have been lost long ago. Maybe someone dug them out from the grave..." Jiang Hengchuan shook his head, "I wonder if Young Master Su has any clues so that I can find the real murderer?"
Meng Qi briefly talked about the coffin and the paper ball in the shopkeeper's mouth, and finally asked, "Brother Jiang, with you guarding it, how could your brother be killed?"
Jiang Hengchuan was silent for a long time before slowly speaking, "This is a long story. Please don't tell others, Young Master Su."
"Okay." Meng Qi nodded gently, secretly guessing why he was brought to Maoling.
"A few months ago, I killed a master of the underworld and got a 'chance'. I gained some benefits in Maoling, but if I want to go deeper, I need three 'chances' to be together. I had no clues at the moment, so I had to leave Maoling and build a hut in Daxing to practice hard. Unexpectedly, I received a letter sent by dart, saying that my cousin Ta Bo was kidnapped and asked me to go to Maoling to exchange him for a chance." Jiang Hengchuan deliberately used chance to replace specific things.
"I couldn't contact my third brother, so I had to come to Maoling secretly. I found that he was fine. He was just addicted to gambling. He lost everything in the No. 1 master's field. He was forced to pay off his debts. It was hard to get the money together."
"I thought this matter was weird, so I deliberately didn't show up. I lived in a courtyard near my third brother under a pseudonym to investigate the person who led me to Maoling. I suddenly got a clue last night, but was thrown off after a circle. I just came back and had a cup of tea when I heard a movement from Hefeng Xiaozhu, so I rushed to check it out. I ran into it and was immediately shocked and angry. I thought it was the mastermind who warned me to be careful of other family members!"
Opportunity... Could it be the door opening item of Dongyang Villa? Meng Qi listened calmly.
Qiu Fei must have obtained it from Dongyang Caolu, what about the others?
After listening to Jiang Hengchuan's description, Meng Qi smiled bitterly: "I am also confused. How can I know what you are talking about that matter?" Jiang Hengchuan sighed: "I am afraid that others will hear it, so I deliberately refer to it. It is not easy for casual cultivators to gain benefits. If they attract external scenes, they can only give up." "Brother Jiang, do you have any suspects?" Meng Qi went straight to the point. Jiang Hengchuan's face sank: "Yes, Qiu Fei, the 'Wind Chaser'!" "Why?" Meng Qi was not too surprised by this answer. Jiang Hengchuan took a deep breath and restrained the urge to grit his teeth: "When I was gaining benefits in Maoling, I ran into two groups of people. One group had a lot of people and fought each other. The other group was Qiu Fei himself. He also got benefits, but lacked the other two opportunities. He might have targeted me. And with his strength, even if he brought the clan treasures, it would be difficult for him to defeat me, but it would be impossible to kill me. That's why he resorted to this strategy." Does Qiu Fei have the ability to lay out this plan? Meng Qi thought of Wang Siyuan, but the next sentence from Jiang Hengchuan made him feel uneasy. "Qiu Fei is a very suspicious person, and his advancement speed is getting faster and faster." Jiang Hengchuan has been paying attention to Qiu Fei for a long time.
Meng Qi took a breath, and Qiu Fei's information emerged in his mind:
"He opened his mind at the age of seventeen, four at the age of twenty, six at the age of twenty-four, and seven at the age of twenty-nine." So far, he is at an above-average level, but then "eight at the age of thirty-two, nine at the age of thirty-three, and broke through the gate of life and death at the age of thirty-six", showing a situation of slow first and fast later.
Meng Qi once thought it was an encounter in Dongyang Caolu, but now calculating the time, it doesn't fit. Since Qiu Fei got the "opportunity", he should come to Maoling as soon as possible.
"Brother Jiang, does the opportunity require a specific time?" He asked the person involved.
Jiang Hengchuan said affirmatively: "No, but the emergence of opportunities seems to be concentrated in a period of time."
Meng Qi said no more, nor did he mention Wang Siyuan's words: "Brother Jiang, many young masters gathered in Maoling, and the undercurrent is turbulent. This matter may be strange. Why don't we investigate separately and find the mastermind behind the scenes?"
"Okay, I wonder if Young Master Su has any suggestions?" Jiang Hengchuan agreed immediately.
Meng Qi took out the wood carvings, paper notes and the paper ball in the shopkeeper's mouth in the coffin and handed them to Jiang Hengchuan: "Everyone who has passed by will leave traces. Brother Jiang can check the origin of the wood carvings and the handwriting of the paper notes. I will investigate the purpose of the other young masters coming to Maoling."
Jiang Hengchuan took the things and stood up to apologize again.
Just as he was about to leave, Meng Qi suddenly asked: "Brother Jiang, since it is not easy to be a free cultivator, why don't you join the court, aristocratic family or a sect?"
Jiang Hengchuan was stunned at first, and then smiled like a farmer:
"I am cultivating myself, not to find a master on my head."
