Chapter 409: Intervening
With Xuanzhen taking over, Meng Qi had no worries and left directly, returning to Xingyun Village.
Does this count as doing good deeds without leaving a name... He joked to himself as he stepped into Zhuangzi.
Boom, boom, boom, as soon as Meng Qi passed the screen wall, he heard someone knocking on the door. He subconsciously stopped and looked back, and happened to see the concierge opening the side door and revealing a familiar figure.
He suddenly smiled broadly, turned around and walked towards the door: "I thought it would take two days for you to arrive, but I never thought it would be so soon."
The person who came was none other than Jiang Zhiwei. Her dark cloud-like hair was rolled up casually. She was wearing her favorite goose-yellow dress and carrying a long sword. She looked bright and free-spirited.
After the last mission, all her acupoints were opened. Now that we met again, Meng Qi could only feel that her sharpness and tension in the past were gone. She was a swordsman, but Meng Qi could imagine how brilliant the brilliance would be when she drew her sword.
"You know my temperament. If you can challenge the 'Invisible Sword', how can you not hurry up?" Jiang Zhi looked at Meng Qi with a smile, "You went south very quickly."
"Who told me to sit around and have nothing to do?" Meng Qi joked.
Seeing that they were familiar with each other and seeing Jiang Zhiwei's outstanding demeanor, the concierge vaguely guessed his identity and hurried inside to report, leaving the two of them to reminisce.
"You also come to live in Xingyun Village?" Meng Qixu asked.
Jiang Zhi shook her head slightly: "Yingcheng is the county seat of Ling County. We have a sword pavilion here, so there is no need to talk about the invisible sword."
She was not afraid of the pressure brought by He Jiu, she just had a mentality of why go to someone else's house for help when she could live in her own house.
After chatting about what they had experienced for more than a month, Meng Qi passed a secret message and told Jiang Zhiwei that Shinhwa was targeting him and Senior Brother Qi.
He did not mention the matter of reincarnation and grudges, nor did he mention Gu Yaonv. He deliberately emphasized Dongyang Biefu. He was afraid that Donghai Jing, who was guarding Xingyun Village, would spy on him on a whim, expose his secrets, and be killed. The specific situation would have to be found for another opportunity to elaborate.
Meng Qi had something to hide when Jiang Zhi came out with Weipin, because Qi Zhengyan was unlikely to escape on his own, but she also understood Meng Qi's scruples, and said solemnly: "I will report it to the sect to see if I can ask the person in charge of Jiangdong. Master, please help me, please be careful when you go out on your own."
"Yes." Meng Qi nodded, "By the way, I also found traces of the Wolf King."
He told Jiang Zhiwei what happened to the Beggar Clan just now.
"Wolf King..." Jiang Zhiwei's eyes lit up at first, and then she sighed, "It's a pity that he was injured."
She wanted to have a life-and-death fight with the Wolf King in an open and honest manner, but the Wolf King obviously wouldn't do what she wanted. He preferred to lurk in the darkness, waiting patiently for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
"I will ask the local colleagues to help search, and when the whereabouts are confirmed, we will take action together." Jiang Zhiwei knew about the Wolf King's sneak attack and assassination of Meng Qi, and made the decision to surround and kill without any hesitation. This is called tit for tat.
Meng Qi nodded first, and then quickly reminded: "To prevent an ambush, it is best to invite a helper. Well, Brother Wang Zai from the Wang family in Zhoujun is very suitable."
Wang Zai's father is the youngest grandmaster of the Wang family. He holds a very important position as the Minister of Household Affairs in the dynasty. If someone wants to set a trap, he has to weigh it first. Moreover, his strength is also extraordinary. He is "mighty and unyielding." With all the preparations, coupled with the words "Poor and lowly cannot be moved" and "Nine Swords of the Saint", if he really encounters a strong enemy, there is no way he can resist it better than himself!
If you don't use the "immovable Golden Lotus" derived from the "Wuji Seal", you will mainly be "protective", while Wang Zai is "defensive" and specialize in different directions.
The two of them ended these topics neatly and turned to chatting. After a while, the concierge came out and invited Jiang Zhiwei to see He Jiu. Meng Qi obliged and accompanied him.
The injury on He Jiu's neck was mostly healed, and it was no longer bandaged, leaving hideous traces.
With just one glance, Meng Qi understood that the real injury was much more serious than the so-called flesh injury before. If it were deeper, half of his neck would be broken.
Of course, the Wolf King must have been more seriously injured than him. At least He Jiu's behavior could not tell the impact of the injury. The superficial wounds healed very quickly, and he did not feel much weak. However, the Wolf King had no choice but to reveal his traces and asked the Beggars to find him. The healing elixir does not require rest.
Meng Qi guessed that the medicine on him might not be effective and it would be difficult to walk...
He Jiu sat with his sword straight, watching Jiang Zhiwei and Meng Qi enter, his eyes gradually brightened, and his eyebrows moved slightly: "Nvxia Jiang has all her apertures opened. It's really gratifying and congratulatory."
He showed no surprise or fear, but was full of expectant pride.
Jiang Zhiwei did not hide her cultivation level and said with a smile: "Compared with the realm of the young village master, it is still a little behind. I can only rely on the sword in my hand to fight for the slim chance of victory."
"In the Nine Apertures of the Taishang Sword Sutra, I have realized that 'the sword comes out without self'. I am successful in the way of swordsmanship. In terms of combat power, I am still ahead of the Wolf King." He Jiu only compared the Wolf King and did not mention himself. , obviously thinking that Jiang Zhiwei is still half a step behind. After all, we are all disciples of the martial arts sect, and there is not much difference in the level of possessing magical skills. Even though Jiang Zhiwei is extremely talented and is similar to Su Wuming back then, He Jiu is not much worse. There is also the advantage of realm and the accumulation of years.
"I have never fought against the Wolf King, so I dare not make false claims." Jiang Zhiwei was not arrogant.
He Jiu laughed and said: "Nvxia Jiang's nine apertures are all open, which makes this Xingyun banquet even more surprising. I won't try it now. The more I look forward to my opponent, the more I will wait until the end."
Meng Qi watched from the side, feeling deeply that He Jiu was heroic and confident, and that he was a powerful rival on his own path to excellence...
…………
Another day passed, Meng Qi didn't go out for a stroll, and intensified his practice of the "Yi Jin Jing", the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills, and the Golden Bell, in order to open the ninth orifice of his nature as soon as possible.
In the evening, Jiang Zhiwei suddenly came to visit and transmitted a message into the secret channel: "I followed the leader of the Beggar Clan and found the place where the Wolf King was hiding."
"Really?" Meng Qi asked subconsciously, his eyes brightened, and he held the handle of the knife. The Wolf King had made two inexplicable sneak attacks on him. It was time to repay him.
The two of them left Xingyun Village and seemed to be swimming side by side. Meng Qi took the opportunity to tell Gu Xiaosang about rescuing Senior Brother Qi. As for the embarrassing matter of the little girl calling her daddy, of course he ignored it.
Jiang Zhiwei suddenly realized that, like Meng Qi, she had some suspicions about Gu Xiaosang's intentions.
Not long after, the two arrived at Mi's house and found Wang Zai.
"Surrounding and killing the Wolf King?" When Wang Zai spoke, his calm expression became a little more excited.
He practices Confucianism, is honest, magnanimous, and benevolent, and has no favorable impression of the Wolf King. Moreover, although he has a calm temperament, he is still a young man in his twenties after all. How could he not be a bit arrogant? "The Wolf King of Five", just these words make people's blood boil.
"Yes, Brother Wang, do you want to come together?" Meng Qi smiled like a bad guy who kidnapped a child.
Wang Zai took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Okay!"
Jiang Zhiwei took Meng and Wang across Huishui via the stone arch bridge, walked through the streets and alleys, and arrived at the upper reaches of Tianxiu River, close to Yanyu Mountain.
This place not only has the prosperity that extends from Tianxiu River, but also has the quietness far away from the center of the city. It will not lose its confidentiality because of too much noise, nor will it easily expose itself because of too few people.
Jiang Zhiwei, Meng Qi, and Wang Zai hid behind a tree and pointed to the opposite yard by the water: "That's right there."
Looking at the courtyard that was about to merge into darkness, Meng Qi nodded: "The location is not conspicuous, but it is accessible in all directions, making it easy to escape. Let's go over the bridge first, and then slowly approach."
The Wolf King is good at sneak attacks and wandering in the darkness, so you must be cautious when surrounding him. This kind of character has a strong sense of danger. If something goes wrong, he will immediately escape far away, causing all the previous efforts of himself and others to be wasted.
Meng Qi used the Magic Body Technique, wrapped his whole body in spirit, and quietly sneaked into the courtyard. Although Jiang Zhiwei and Wang Zai were not as good at sneaking as him and were a little behind to avoid being discovered by the Wolf King, they also opened their nine orifices and initially made contact with the Eyebrow Ancestor. Even if he has not yet practiced the secret of the aperture, his concealment of his own aura is no longer as rough as before. Especially Jiang Zhiwei, who had practiced the magic of transfiguration before, but now she was walking in the darkness, like a fairy shadow, elusive and hard to see.
The yard is cold. In the severe cold of winter, there is not even the sound of insects. Except for the traces of the wind, it is very quiet, making people wonder if there is anyone inside.
Meng Qi walked around to the side courtyard wall, pressed lightly with his right palm, and flew up silently like a soaring cloud, then quietly fell to the hiding place like a fallen leaf.
He approached the room, knowing that it would be extremely difficult to hide from the Wolf King at this distance, so he did not struggle, and accelerated suddenly, almost dragging out the afterimage, and knocked open the door. At the same time, he drew his sword out of its sheath, Prevent secret attacks.
Jiang Zhiwei and Wang Zai also speeded up at the same time, rushing towards the side room from the other two angles, slightly lagging behind to prevent the Wolf King from hiding in the kitchen or the like.
Meng Qi stood in the room with a knife in his hand, his face becoming serious because there was no one inside.
There were discarded strips of cloth in the room, stained with pus and blood, and the lingering breath of the Wolf King was still there.
Wang Zai touched the quilt and said, "It's still warm, so I won't leave it for more than a stick of incense."
The three of them searched separately, but failed to find any trace. After meeting again, Jiang Zhiwei muttered: "The Wolf King seems to have known in advance that we would come..."
"But only the three of us know about this matter..." Meng Qi had no intention of doubting it, but just found it strange, "Maybe it's because of his habitual transfer..."
…………
In a dark side room, the tall, thin and indifferent Wolf King was sitting on a chair, with a blood-red elixir in his open left hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "Why did you save me and treat me invisible?" The elixir of sword energy?"
Opposite him stood a woman, elegant and luxurious, wearing a mysterious robe inlaid with gold thread patterns, and wearing the "Queen Mother of the West" mask that is commonly seen in dramas.
"I want you to help deal with someone." "Queen Mother of the West" said calmly.
