Chapter 301 Hunting (first update)
Meng Qi nodded: "In the face of such a master's sneak attack, it is difficult to hold back due to the pull of Qi."
He felt quite innocent, it wasn't that he didn't want to be caught alive.
"Wearing the mask of Huode Xingjun... Wenqu Xingjun... are they in the same group?" Jiang Hengchuan frowned and looked at the slowly extinguishing flames, "No, someone deliberately framed Wenqu Xingjun last time... Could it be that we were not fooled? The same trick was used again, but it was a pity that he was not as good as others and died by your sword? "
Regarding the incident involving Chu Guan, the incense master of the Dajiang Clan, Chen Yasong, the deputy hall leader, and Dai Fei, the chief arrester of Qingshou, later found out that something was wrong and did not report it accordingly, so as not to inform the superiors of such a flawed judgment, which would cause scolding and be considered stupid and absolutely unacceptable. Opportunities for advancement.
Of course, Chen Yasong could not hide the death of an incense master and had to report it to the Hechuan General Forum. However, he only described it truthfully and did not add a word of his own opinion, allowing the senior officials of the Dajiang Gang to judge the truth and make a response.
Meng Qi said thoughtfully: "The technique he used is like the Huode Xingjun in the myth."
According to Qingyu's information about the "Five Directions Emperor Sword", he was 80% sure that it was the real Huode Xingjun. Coupled with the previous thinking level trap, he became more and more sure that the person behind the scenes was Wenquxingjun, but he didn't know the "myth" How many people came and were there any official members?
"If you want to fake Lord Huodexing, your skills must be similar." Jiang Hengchuan said casually while looking around, "What are the origins of Lord Wenquxing and Lord Huodexing? Why are they unknown in the world? And why do people want to do it? Frame them?"
Meng Qi curled his lips: "You have to ask them themselves."
If I knew, why bother to trace it?
"Mr. Su, last time you were framed and almost hurt my hand. Today you were attacked by surprise again. Fortunately, the other party was not strong enough..." Jiang Hengchuan frowned slightly and looked at Meng Qi. "They have repeatedly targeted you. I'm afraid it cannot be explained by coincidence. , I wonder if you can think of the reason? This may be an important clue.”
Meng Qi thought for a while and decided to reveal a little: "There is an undercurrent in Maoling. Many young masters have received notes, letters, etc. and come here for various reasons, just like you, Brother Jiang. I am the only exception. I came to Maoling on my own. Ling, perhaps for this reason, is regarded by those behind the scenes as a thorn in the flesh, or an uncontrollable chess piece, and they are eager to erase it. "
But there is a problem. Since he entered Maoling City and escaped the trap, why are the people behind the scenes still holding on? Normally, shouldn't they take advantage of the situation and turn themselves into pawns?
Jiang Hengchuan was stunned when he heard this, and said in silence for a while: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen, but I was involved in a whirlpool."
He paused and said, "Master Su, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
"All ears." Meng Qi said doubtfully.
Jiang Hengchuan considered his tone: "Maoling is a majestic city in the world, with a major river and countless good people coming and going on a daily basis. I am afraid that the majority are those who have not been invited by the people behind the scenes. Why does he think that you, Mr. Su, will disrupt the situation?" His plan is to get rid of you? Based on this idea, Maoling City will be slaughtered with heads and corpses scattered for hundreds of miles. "
"Maybe I'm on the list." When he reminded him, Meng Qi suddenly felt strange.
Or maybe my identity as a spy is known to the people behind the scenes?
"No." Jiang Hengchuan shook his head affirmatively, "There are many masters or late bloomers who come to Maoling. Their strength is no less than yours, Mr. Su. Jiang doesn't dare to say too many, but he will definitely not be too few. Facing you With the arrival of the epidemic, shouldn’t it be better to do less than to do more to avoid unnecessary complications?”
Meng Qi nodded solemnly: "That makes sense."
"Mr. Su, please think back. Have you ever done anything that caused the people behind the scenes to misunderstand? For example, made him misunderstand that you came prepared to disrupt his plan?" Jiang Hengchuan guessed.
Hearing these words, Meng Qi's mind flashed with lightning, and he suddenly remembered something: "Yes!"
Jiang Hengchuan looked slightly excited, waiting for Meng Qi to explain.
"Upstairs in the hero building, 'Five Directions Emperor Sword' Qingyu once said to me, 'I didn't expect that Benefactor Su was here too.' I didn't know why and felt strange, so I replied, if Taoist brother can come, so can I. "Meng Qi restored the scene at that time, "Others may not know it, but the people behind the scenes must know who they have 'invited'. There is no Crazy Sword, so why do you act like you know the secret? Are you deliberately looking for them? ?”
Jiang Hengchuan's expression was solemn and a little excited: "It was probably a misunderstanding caused by this sentence. Who heard this sentence at that time? Will they spread it?"
Meng Qi thought: "There are very few people who can enter the fifth floor of the Hero Building. At that time, only the 'Five Directions Emperor Sword' was left. He came here by invitation. With his personality, he couldn't ask me what I said." People, yes, there is also the heroic landlord Ren Pingsheng, the extraordinary man from the world..."
At the end of the sentence, he looked thoughtful.
"Could he be a strange man from this world..." Jiang Hengchuan also became solemn.
"There is no real evidence. This matter needs to be considered in the long term." Meng Qi felt that there was something wrong, but he could never find where the doubt was. It was either Qingyu or Ren Pingsheng...
Jiang Hengchuan breathed out: "It should be so."
Meng Qi picked up Huode Xingjun's copper ring and said, "I have to find out Huodexingjun's true identity."
Although Huode Xingjun is extremely powerful, even if he does not have peerless magical skills, he is at least in the top 30 on the list based on realm alone. However, as a member of a mysterious organization, his daily performance of kung fu and weapons are different from those when he appears as Huodexingjun. It is unlikely to be the same, perhaps because he is not on the list. It is difficult to find out his identity. We can only start with the material and specialness of the weapon.
"Okay." Jiang Hengchuan nodded, "Let's find the Eight-Armed Tianlong and others first."
The traces of the departure of the Eight-Armed Tianlong and the Yunling Three Eagles were very messy. Meng Qi and Jiang Hengchuan spent a lot of time asking the neighbors, but could not find any useful clues. Seeing that it was getting late, they said goodbye to each other and went back to their homes to sort out their thoughts. .
Meng Qi walked away, thinking about Lord Huo Dexing and the "wonderful man from this world", and the reason why Mr. Wang wanted You Shaohui to act. The sky became darker as he walked, and the evening wind in autumn brought a chill.
Suddenly, he stopped, patted his forehead with his left hand, and laughed at himself: "Leave Qingyu alone and think about what he is doing here? What if he tells someone casually?"
With a smile, Meng Qi changed direction, put his sword on his back, walked into a secluded alley, and turned towards Huang Tingguan.
This alley is very clean during the day, and at night, it is completely deserted. The trees within the walls on both sides cast dark shadows, like strips of whirling evil ghosts, making people feel chilly. The little moonlight does not increase the brightness. Adding to the gloom.
Meng Qi had even encountered real "evil ghosts" and zombies, so he was not afraid of secluded night roads, so he subconsciously prepared for sneak attacks and moved forward.
Halfway through, a gust of cool wind blew by, and Meng Qi's hair suddenly stood up. An indescribable sense of danger suddenly emerged without any warning, and he subconsciously took a step forward!
Compared with Huode Xingjun's sneak attack in the afternoon, at this time he completely relied on his spiritual sense and premonition of danger. In addition, he could not feel the enemy's movements, figures and breath at all. It seemed that the danger was just his own illusion, behind him No one at all!
Taking a step forward, the cold wind blew on the back of Meng Qi's neck, as if someone had just crushed his neck.
With the Heaven's Injury drawn out, Meng Qi didn't even look back, and swept across with his backhand. His true energy was so powerful that he had the potential to sweep away thousands of troops.
There was nothing, no strength, Meng Qi slashed into the air with his long sword, and he came to the same conclusion as his senses: there was no one behind him!
But the sense of danger in Meng Qi's heart was still rising. He took another step forward, and then another gust of cold wind blew on the back of his neck, making the hairs stand on end. He seemed to have narrowly avoided a fatal blow!
The person who comes can be one with nature and man, and is one with the surrounding environment, so I can't sense it?
With the help of the nature of heaven and earth, he grasped the flow of my true energy and muscle reaction, and avoided the wound of heaven in advance?
Meng Qi had experience fighting Jiang Hengchuan, and his reactions were extremely fast. The heaven and earth were moving inside him. Part of his true energy was dormant, and part of it was functioning normally. There was no abnormality on the surface of his muscles.
Tianzhi Shang leaned back, and sure enough, he still hit the air, as if there was no enemy.
At this moment, Tian Zhishang jumped suddenly, strangely changed from a pick to a swing, and swept out.
puff!
The blade finally hit something as solid as gold and stone, and a powerful force surged in, surpassing Meng Qi's internal strength by two or three.
Dark gold flowed around Meng Qi's body, dissolving part of his power. At the same time, he used the Immortal Seal to turn death into life. He used the force to run forward and turn around.
"Huh..." A slightly strange voice sounded, and then there was no more movement.
Meng Qi turned around and slashed, ready to make a move, but saw that the alley was empty, the moonlight was weak, and the shadows of the trees were dancing. Where could there be an enemy?
If it hadn't been for the feeling of Qing Ye and the palm of the knife intersecting just now, Meng Qi would have thought he was having a nightmare.
Sweat ran down his spine. It was more thrilling than killing Lord Huo Dexing in the afternoon, and more thrilling than escaping from Jiang Hengchuan that day. If he was a little slow in responding just now, or there was no small success in the inner world, he would end up with a broken neck!
"The enemy just now is probably more dangerous than Jiang Hengchuan, and he missed a single hit and immediately flew away, like a lone wolf..." Meng Qi sighed, and he didn't know why he attacked him!
He quickened his pace and became more vigilant. He quickly crossed the alley and arrived at Huangtingguan in a short time. After bothering Zhike, he entered Qingyu's small courtyard at night.
Just after passing the courtyard gate, Meng Qi was stunned. Qingyu was sitting on the stone bench covered in moonlight, as if waiting for him.
However, his bun was messy, and there was a deep claw mark on his left shoulder, with blood slowly overflowing.
Qingyu said calmly while treating the wound, "What are you doing here?"
"Who were you hurt by?" Meng Qi seemed to have thought of something.
Qingyu chuckled, proud and restrained: "I was bitten by a wolf."
"Wolf King Tiesheng?" Meng Qi finally determined who the enemy was just now!
Qingyu took care of the wound and pulled up his clothes: "It's this wolf, a wolf that likes to hunt masters. I didn't expect him to come too."
"Wolf King" Tie Sheng, the leader of the new generation in the grassland, is said to like killing and hunting opponents like a wolf. It does not necessarily require a special purpose. Just think you are good at it, but he is not a crazy person. On the grassland He rarely provokes the core of big forces. Unexpectedly, when he came to the Great Jin Dynasty, he would continue to attack Xuantian Sect's direct descendants and himself... Meng Qi's mind came up with information about "Wolf King" Tie Sheng: "Then the Six Gates and Maoling must be notified. All the masters are ready to surround and kill this wolf."
Qingyu nodded: "It should be so. Those who are murderous cannot be careless and think about solving it by themselves. Hey, does he really think that there is no one in Jin Dynasty?"
"For him, being alone makes it easy to hide and hard to be exposed. Once he is disturbed by the outside scene, he will immediately fly away. Even if he kills the heir of a big sect or a big family, as long as he can stop his traces and escape back to the grassland, who can do anything to him? " Meng Qi was eager to give Wolf King Tiesheng a try, but he still knew that the opponent's strength was probably on par with Jiang Zhiwei.
The grassland is at war with the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. If Tiesheng kills the direct descendants of the great sects and the direct sons of the aristocratic families, he will only be appreciated by the Great Khan Guldo.
And Gurdo is a strong man who emerges from the grassland only once every 500 years. He encountered and practiced the "World-Destroying Art of Heaven" by chance, and obtained the "Treasure Body of Heavenly Punishment", ranking first on the Heavenly Ranking!
This is not because he is truly stronger than Taoist Chonghe, Monk Kongwen and Mr. Lu, but because he is in charge of a peerless magic weapon, the "Tianchu Axe". When the two are added together, they are naturally superior and stronger than There are only other Dharmakayas of normal divine weapons, and there is another Dharmakaya on the grassland, who joins forces with him to fight against the Dharmakaya of the Central Plains - the "Daman" of the Immortality Religion, the Immortal Zunti.
