Chapter 298: Stay safe (first update, please vote for me)

The sky was slightly brighter, and Meng Qi entered Maoling City leisurely in the morning light and breathing in the refreshing air.

He did not go back to the rented yard directly, but walked towards the alley with the locust tree. He couldn't slack off for a day!

When they arrived at the locust tree, the gray-haired old man was already carving wood carvings with a focused expression, as if he was holding the most sacred thing in his hands. His attitude was so pious that many people have never achieved anything in their lives, regardless of whether they are addicted or religious. No matter what, the heat was missing after all.

Meng Qi's mind was clear, and he sat under the locust tree as usual, watching the old man carving without saying a word, with the same concentration.

It was getting higher and brighter, and the old man finally finished carving a wooden sculpture. He looked up at Meng Qi and was slightly stunned: "Brother, are you okay?"

This was a kind of greeting that they had not seen for a long time. Meng Qi was startled when he heard this, and he was shocked. He could see that it had actually been three months?

"Everything is well, junior, and your strength has improved greatly." Meng Qi pondered for a moment. After all, he was worried about being obliterated by the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation, so he answered vaguely, neither confirming nor denying.

The old man's seemingly ordinary facial features were relaxed, and he said with a smile: "It's good to make progress, it's good to make progress."

"This junior made further breakthroughs in swordsmanship and finally mastered an outdoor sword move." Meng Qi deliberately provoked the topic.

If the identity of the old man that he guessed was correct, swordsmanship should be something he dared to be interested in. Moreover, he did not aim at nothing. If he deliberately relied on this aspect when there was nothing to discuss, it would only arouse resentment.

The old man put down the wood carving and carving knife, concentrated on chatting, and said with a smile: "Young people are scary. If I had 10% of your talent and progress in practicing swordsmanship, I would not be scolded by the teacher."

"But the younger generation does not have the concentration and consistency of the elders, which remains unchanged over the years. On the road to cultivation, talent, luck, and opportunity can make a person go faster and further in the same time, but how long one can go depends on hard work and Concentrate." Meng Qi replied sincerely.

The old man shook his head and laughed at himself: "I have always been stupid. I can't be distracted by anything. Others can practice many sword moves at once, but I can only practice one move until I am very proficient and can do anything with my hands." Practice the next sword move without interruption, otherwise you will lose sight of the other and fail to practice both moves. The same is true for other things. If you are not as talented as others, you can only work hard with concentration, hard work and hard work. , there is no other way.”

While speaking, he touched a sword beside him. It was a long sword wrapped in a light black old scabbard. It had an ordinary style and an ordinary aura.

It was only then that Meng Qi discovered this sword. Before, he had completely ignored the things around the old man and only focused on him. Looking back, he was quite surprised.

"Maybe the senior's talent is concentration." Meng Qi sighed, "It would be great if the junior could be like the senior."

The old man shook his head again, with a slightly serious expression: "Whoever learns from me will live, and whoever resembles me will die."

Meng Qi was shocked when he heard this and vaguely touched something: "Thank you, senior, for your teaching."

"Concentration, hard work and hard work are acquired." The old man said again and picked up the carving knife and wooden block.

Meng Qi saw this and stood up to say goodbye.

Before carving, the old man suddenly paused, pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, there is something I don't know whether to talk about or not."

"Senior, there is no need to worry." Meng Qi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be the "you are fine" thing just now?

The old man looked at Meng Qi and thought quietly for a while: "Let's wait until the Jinshui tide comes. Then please ask me to come over. There will be no need to come again during this period."

"Yes, senior." Meng Qi saluted solemnly, with doubts, expectations, nervousness, and joy in his heart. No matter what, the relationship got closer.

The old man stopped talking and started carving wood carvings with his head down, concentrating and being pious.

Meng Qi quietly exited the alley and returned to the small courtyard where he rented, waiting for what might happen today.

Normally, with the help of foreign aid, he should keep a low profile and wait for Jiang Zhiwei, Ruan Yushu and Qi Zhengyan to arrive quietly before taking action in a big way. He is doing it openly and they are doing it secretly, so that Suan Jin Cang Sheng and Wen Quxing know what it means to be outside of control. But he has been involved in the whirlpool. Keeping a low profile will only make people suspicious. His friendship with Jiang Zhiwei is not a secret, and her current position is not a secret. As long as there is suspicion, Wang Siyuan's ability will not be difficult to guess Jiang Zhiwei's secret. Come to help.

So, do whatever you need to do, but don't create unnecessary complications or risk.

"Come on, come on, the person I am today is no longer the person I was yesterday." Meng Qi thought.

At noon, Meng Qi had just finished his lunch and was catching his breath when he heard a knock on the door.

"Brother Jiang, didn't you go look for Qiu Fei's whereabouts?" As soon as Meng Qi entered the house, he naturally sensed that Jiang Hengchuan was outside the door. The unity between him and the surrounding world was indeed a bit flawed, and he was still a little isolated. This may be why he The reason why he has never been able to achieve the perfect unity of heaven and man, otherwise even if he has initially adjusted his inner world and interacted with nature, he should not be able to tell the difference.

Jiang Hengchuan looked solemn, looked around, and closed the door: "Mr. Su, I found a clue."

He has very thick eyebrows, ordinary facial features, and a farmer's skin. He seems to be a part of nature, with its light and dust. But in nature, he is like the first ray of sunshine in the morning and the greenest leaf on the tree. After all, he is the most special one among his peers, making people feel faintly outstanding.

Meng Qi's inner heaven and earth had not been adjusted before, and his feeling was not deep, but he had just tasted it now.

Thinking of what Jiang Hengchuan said, "I'm not training hard to find a master," Meng Qi seemed to be able to outline a truly lonely and arrogant heart.

Lonely and proud are the real Jiang Hengchuan.

"Qiu Fei's clue?" Meng Qi's eyes lit up.

Jiang Hengchuan nodded: "Mr. Su, don't you think the previous things are too coincidental?"

Because of several joint actions, he changed his name.

"Are you saying that Qiu Fei went to the hills outside the city for several consecutive days, as if waiting for us to find him?" Meng Qi suddenly realized that he had thought it was too coincidental before, but he subconsciously thought that Qiu Fei's doing so would not benefit him, but only harm him.

"Yes, since it is a secret matter, and there are many strong people in the city, it is natural to meet as little as possible. It is best to talk and discuss everything in one exchange, so as not to expose your whereabouts." Jiang Hengchuan's eyes are deep, like a hunter.

Meng Qi thought for a moment, holding his breath: "But what good will this do to Qiu Fei? He ruined his reputation and almost implicated his family."

"It may not be that he did it on purpose. Maybe he had to go to the hills outside the city to meet for several consecutive days." Jiang Hengchuan had thought about it long ago. "I followed this guess and found that Qiu Fei had been meeting people in the "Milong Courtyard" of Tianzi No. 1 Casino these days, so I want to ask Mr. Su to visit the real owner of Tianzi No. 1 Casino, You Shaohui, and ask him who Qiu Fei met."

Meng Qi didn't hesitate: "Okay."

You Shaohui, the brother-in-law of Ye Taoguang, the head of the Punishment Hall of the Dajiang Gang, who is "Iron-faced and Impartial", has barely reached the ninth level of strength due to the accumulation of years and elixirs. But relying on his brother-in-law who is famous on the Earth List, he has made Tianzi No. 1 Casino flourish. Who in the world doesn't give him face?

Jiang Hengchuan was stunned when he heard this, and smiled: "After not seeing each other for a night, Mr. Su seems to have gained a lot of confidence."

Meng Qi smiled but didn't say anything, just shook his head.

…………

After waiting for a full hour, until Meng Qi wanted to sit cross-legged and meditate, You Shaohui sent the butler out and invited the two to meet inside.

Seeing Jiang Hengchuan next to him calm and composed, without any impatience, Meng Qi's evaluation of him became higher. The top ten on the list were indeed not in vain.

"Mr. Su is calm and composed, without any anger of being despised. Jiang admires him." Jiang Hengchuan also praised Meng Qi.

Meng Qi laughed: "Brother Jiang, let's not carry people on sedan chairs."

Following the butler, through the noisy ordinary hall of Tianzi No. 1 Casino, through the private room for masters to gamble, through a staircase going down, Meng Qi saw a ring, on which two powerful masters were fighting.

Opposite the ring, there was a protruding platform with tables and chairs on it for people to watch the competition.

At present, the chairs were empty, with only a middle-aged fat man sitting without image, and on both sides were protected by masters with long breaths and strong momentum.

"Master You..." Jiang Hengchuan called You Shaohui as Master You because he was the owner of the gambling house.

You Shaohui's facial features were actually very good. If he hadn't gained weight, he would have been a first-class handsome man, but now, he was so fat that his face looked like he was covered with flesh.

He raised his hand to interrupt Jiang Hengchuan's words, without even looking at Meng Qi and the others: "What's the matter?"

It seemed that in his eyes, warriors who were not on the Earth Ranking were not considered masters.

"I want to ask Master You about something. Who did Zhu Fenggun meet in Mi Long Yuan before his death?" Jiang Hengchuan was very well-mannered and didn't get angry at all.

"Why should I tell you?" You Shaohui still didn't look at Meng Qi and the others.

As soon as he finished speaking, he thought for a moment, looked over, and smiled playfully: "I have no talent for martial arts, and I hate young talents the most. You are all at the top of the list, and I dislike you even more. How about this, you fight with my subordinates and show me your martial arts. If you can beat me to my satisfaction, I will consider whether to tell you or not."

"Master You, we are not actors..." Jiang Hengchuan was interrupted by Meng Qi before he finished speaking.

He stepped forward and looked at You Shaohui leisurely: "Master You, I wonder which subordinate you are going to send?"

Jiang Hengchuan wanted to stop him, but he opened his mouth and still didn't speak.

You Shaohui laughed, looking proud, and pointed at the tall and thin man next to him: "Ghost Shadow Ding Xiaofeng, although he has never been on the list, he is only half a step away from opening the gate of life and death. As long as you can..." After he introduced the master next to him, he suddenly saw a knife light up, like lightning and thunder, faster than he could imagine. Just as he felt it, the long knife was already on his neck! At this time, Ding Xiaofeng fell in front of him, but he was half a step slower. The long sword of another master next to him, with a strong energy, twisted forcefully, rubbed Meng Qi's face and flew to the opposite wall, leaving a sword mark. "Master You, we are not actors." Meng Qi looked at You Shaohui with a smile, "Within a few feet, your life is up to me, not yours." His hand holding the knife was unusually steady, as if the knife was not hitting You Shaohui's neck, but a piece of wood.
