Chapter 287 Unexpected Clues
In Huanghua Lane, Craftsman Li walked towards his house carrying the burden of wood carvings.
"This young master, who are you looking for?" Carpenter Li saw a handsome young man wearing black clothes at the door.
Meng Qi smiled: "I want to pick a wood carving."
"Okay." Craftsman Li was more cautious and did not directly invite Meng Qi into the house to pick. He put down the burden at the door and pointed to the bamboo basket, "Young master, it's up to you."
Meng Qi picked the wood carvings and asked casually: "Are there two exactly the same wood carvings?"
"That's impossible. There will always be small differences when carving." Craftsman Li smiled politely.
"That makes sense." Meng Qi took out the wood carving in his arms as a hint, "Have you ever recognized it?"
Meng Qi's plan is to use the "magic of changing the sky and striking the earth" to awaken Carpenter Li's relevant memories!
Normally speaking, with Meng Qi's level of cultivation, the incomplete memories of past lives cannot be awakened without recalling them. Even the memories of this life must be combined with clearing and purification techniques to awaken the most painful, unforgettable, and obsessive parts. .
But the wood carving was bought yesterday. It was only about twelve o'clock, and the impressions related to Craftsman Li had not faded much. In the sea of deep memories, that is, the sea of subconsciousness, they are still on the surface and can be easily awakened.
Moreover, the wood carving itself serves as a basis, which can directly correspond to the relevant fragments!
——No wood carving is exactly the same. Craftsman Li already had a feeling when carving, but it is not important and does not require memory, so he cannot distinguish it. However, subconsciously, they are actually different. As long as it does not exceed three days, there is some hope. Correspondingly, for this kind of low-level craftsmen, they will not buy too many wooden blocks at a time, so as to prevent them from being carved and not sold, which will take up money. They often only buy one or two days' worth at a time.
Of course, the most important point is that Carpenter Li does not know martial arts and his spiritual defense is very weak!
However, Meng Qi did not force it, and used Dafa on the premise that it would not damage Carpenter Li's soul and body.
Just as Carpenter Li was about to speak, he suddenly felt that the dim sky suddenly turned dark, and then brightened up. He stood on the street, greeting the guests coming and going. Some would stop to choose, and some would pick up one at random, drop the copper plate and leave. There is no essential difference between this kind of life and every day in the past.
Suddenly, his eyes focused on a wooden sculpture, and he always felt that it was a little special and different from others of its kind.
Just as the idea came to mind, I felt a shadow covering the stall, and I picked up the wooden sculpture with one hand.
Meng Qi, who was performing the "Transforming the Sky and Striking the Earth" and "Imprinting the Heart with the Heart" skills, held his breath because there were a few ink marks on the edge of this hand!
The ink on the note with "Crazy Sword" Su Meng written on it was slightly blurred at the edge, so it seemed that the person who wrote it had touched it...
"How many coppers?" A male voice sounded in Carpenter Li's ears. He raised his head, ready to answer.
Meng Qi concentrated his attention and waited for the answer.
Carpenter Li's eyes gradually stopped on the face of the person in front of him. He had angular eyes and broom eyebrows. The young man...
This is Jiang Tabo!
Meng Qi almost failed to stabilize his mood, and was almost attacked by the magic of changing the sky and striking the earth. It was actually Jiang Tabo! Jiang Tabo, who was framed by others, also framed himself with his death! Jiang Hengchuan’s cousin!
Thoughts came to mind one after another, and Meng Qi suddenly found the answers to several questions. The person behind the scenes clearly claimed to have kidnapped Jiang Tabo. Why did Jiang Hengchuan arrive in Maoling? He was only detained by the casino, and he had collected the money and came out intact; It was clear that Jiang Hengchuan was a secret shop owner and lived near Jiang Tabo. Why was he still discovered by the people behind the scenes and lured away at a critical moment? Why was the frozen expression on Jiang Tabo's face at that time more disbelief than horror...
But he is already dead, and the clues are still broken...
Carpenter Li's eyes swept over the person next to Jiang Tabo. He was in his forties, wearing a brocade robe, and had the aura of someone who had lived in the world for a long time. There was an inconspicuous tumor on the corner of his eyebrows. He was standing very close to Jiang Tabo. Eye contact.
His vision gradually blurred, and Craftsman Li shuddered. The sky was still dim, smoke from the kitchen was calling the night, everything was as usual, but there was no one in front of him.
"No, it can't be a ghost..." Craftsman Li was so frightened that he suddenly saw a dime of silver in the basket. He was surprised and happy. After confirming again and again that it was real money, he only hoped that such ghosts would often appear. Come.
Meng Qi walked out of Huanghua Lane and went directly to Guanjin Garden. He didn't know who Jiang Tabo knew, but Jiang Hengchuan should know some!
It was getting late, and Jiang Hengchuan was still searching the vicinity of Tingfeng Xiaozhu, looking for the person who was hiding at the time based on the trajectory of the stones described by Meng Qi.
"Su Shaoxia, do you have any clues?" Jiang Hengchuan sensed Meng Qi approaching and asked slightly excitedly.
Meng Qi nodded: "I went to Huanghua Alley again and used some tricks to help Carpenter Li recall the situation at that time."
Carpenter Li may have recalled almost nothing, which is why he was not silenced. Who could have guessed that Meng Qi had the ability to change the sky and strike the earth?
Even if there are reincarnations, how many people can find it in the vast sea of exercises?
It is neither high nor low, but has special functions.
"Who is it?" Jiang Hengchuan was slightly surprised and asked repeatedly.
Meng Qi described what he saw in detail.
Jiang Hengchuan swayed slightly and his face turned gloomy: "I think it's too coincidental, no wonder, no wonder!"
This is a kind of hatred and helplessness that hates iron but cannot become steel.
"Brother Jiang, do you know that middle-aged man?" Meng Qi returned to the topic.
Jiang Hengchuan took a deep breath, his face returned to normal, and his every move was natural: "Although I have only met him once or twice, I will not admit his mistake. Chu Guan, the incense master of the Dajiang Gang, is a gambling friend who rides the waves."
"Dajiang Gang..." Meng Qi took a breath.
Jiang Hengchuan pondered for a while and said: "This matter concerns the Dajiang Gang, and the people behind the scenes have framed them. We cannot act rashly. We must ask Qingshou or Yinzhang to arrest the head, and we must be separated from the Dajiang Gang by the hall master or deputy hall master." Let’s go forward together.”
"That's exactly what it should be." Meng Qi agreed.
This is no better than investigating Jiang Tabo by myself. His background is not obvious. He has the status of Qingshou Headcatcher, so he will not be able to get rid of his unjust accusations. This is the Xiang Master of the Dajiang Gang, the top power in the world. He will make mistakes without hesitation and get rid of them first. Let’s talk about the top players who don’t belong to their own gang.
It happened that Jiang Hengchuan had made friends with Yu Yinzhang and Dai Qingshou of Maoling Six Gates through yesterday's incident. The two went out together, walked through the bustling streets, resisted the Yamen, told the story of the matter, and invited Dai Fei and Dai Qingshou.
Then Dai Qingshou came forward and invited Chen Yasong, the deputy leader of the Maoling branch of the Dajiang Gang, and the four of them rushed to Chu Guan's home together.
"I didn't expect someone was causing trouble in Maoling. If I know who it is, I will make him look good!" Dai Fei and Dai Qingshou were a forthright man. As they walked away, they cursed the people behind the scenes.
Chen Yasong, the deputy leader of the Maoling branch of the Dajiang Clan, was also in the middle of the exterior scene. He was familiar with Dai Fei and said hey: "The undercurrent started a few months ago. Who do you want to make look good?"
His face was fair and fair, like a middle-aged gentle animal.
"Isn't there no clue?" Dai Fei turned his head and looked at Meng Qi, "Is it possible that Su Shaoxia is good at divination, so he can find out clues? There is no such thing as a virtuous man with such a great reputation!"
Meng Qi smiled and said: "It's just a small skill, nothing worth mentioning."
Hey, want to trick me? no way!
Although Jiang Hengchuan remained calm, he did not speak during the entire journey, feeling a little impatient.
The four of them walked very fast, and soon they saw Chu Guan's courtyard, which was quiet and quiet.
"There's something wrong. Is it too quiet?" Meng Qi's face was solemn.
Chen Yasong shook his head: "Mrs. Chu Guan is serving her parents in her hometown. Her children are married. He also likes gambling. There is only one mute servant in the family, so there is no need to worry."
"Don't be careless." Dai Fei took this opportunity to insult Chen Yasong, quickened his pace, climbed over the wall directly, and entered Chu Guan's courtyard, followed closely by Meng Qi and the others.
As soon as they landed, there was a hoarse scream. The four of them did not make eye contact and quickened their pace at the same time.
Meng Qi was quite shocked. He and others arrived so quickly, and there was no news leaked. How could something happen?
Dai Fei waved his palm from afar, and the strong wind blew up, and the door burst open, revealing the bloody scene in the hall:
The old servant fell to the ground, with a sword in his chest. He was already dead. Chu Guan, who had an inconspicuous tumor on the corner of his eyebrow, sat on the Grand Master's chair. He held the sword in both hands and inserted it into his chest. Blood flowed all over his body.
He looked at Meng Qi and others with hatred in his eyes, and screamed miserably:
"Wenquxingjun will avenge me..."
The words stopped suddenly, and he bit off his tongue. Due to the double injury, he died immediately. Meng Qi and others were unable to save him.
Lord Wenquxing... This shrill scream always echoed in Meng Qi's ears, as if it was signaling something.
The expressions of the four people became gloomy at the same time. They searched carefully and found no clues.
"Mr. Wenquxing, there is no such person in the world! Could it be that the ancient gods were resurrected?" Dai Fei said bitterly, while Chen Yasong and Jiang Hengchuan also looked puzzled.
Meng Qi does know the origin of Wenquxingjun, but no matter what, Wenquxingjun is just a code name. He must have a clear identity in Maoling. Who is he?
Since Meng Qi deliberately did not talk about this matter, the four of them discussed it for a while without any clue, and decided to report the matter to the Shendu headquarters and the Dajiang Gang's general forum to see if they could find any clues.
The four of them left separately and spent the whole night without talking. After Meng Qi got up, he thought that things had gone to a dead end again, and he suddenly felt irritable.
He took a deep breath, walked out of the door, and took a walk in the cool morning air.
Unknowingly, he came to the entrance of the alley with the locust tree and saw the gray-haired old man coming out with a small stool, a wooden block and a carving knife in his hand, and he was concentrating on his work again.
Focused and pious, he acted as if what he was doing was the most important thing in the world, and he carried out it completely without any distractions. Every time he struck the knife, it was like he was sculpting his own life.
Quiet, tranquil, still, an indescribable feeling, Meng Qi once again calmed down the irritability in his heart and watched with his legs crossed.
"Brother, what's the matter?" After an unknown amount of time, the old man finished carving a piece of wood and looked up at Meng Qi.
Meng Qi did not leave directly this time. He pondered for a moment and said, "My father-in-law, I can see that you are concentrating on the carving, and you feel something in your heart, so you stopped and watched."
I had a similar feeling both times. Based on the many novels I have read, this is the rhythm of meeting an expert!
Could it be true?
Meng Qi was slightly looking forward to it, as if he was discovering the little joys in life.
"No, no, the old lady is stupid, so she has to concentrate." The old man laughed at himself.
Meng Qi's face twitched, he thought for a moment, and then changed the subject: "Husband, your accent doesn't sound like a local?"
"Yes." The old man sighed, "Come here in January and leave after watching the Jinshui tide."
"The tide of Jinshui? My father-in-law is an elegant man." Meng Qi smiled.
The expression of the half-hundred-year-old man became gentle, and he looked at the wooden sculpture in his hand - the statue of a woman in palace clothes: "My wife loved the Jinshui tide the most during her lifetime. Since her death, I have come here every year to watch the tide."
