Chapter 416: No matter how hard you try, you still can't find it (ask for monthly ticket)
Meng Qi had never seen Gu Xiaosang's handwriting, and it was obviously impossible to judge his identity simply from his handwriting. But just yesterday she discovered Lao Zhong's whereabouts, and today she got clear information. It's hard not to make the connection. .
The simplest, clearest, and most consistent inference is that after discovering Lao Zhong, Gu Xiaosang sent someone to follow him quietly and determined his destination or hiding place. Worried about an ambush or trap, Luo Jiaoyu This person's strength is not sufficient, so he informed himself first and let the righteous people test the danger.
Of course, it may be that "Shenhua" deliberately sent the letter to retaliate against himself, but two conditions must be met first. The first is that they discovered the connection between themselves and Gu Xiaosang, and the second is that they believe that they have found Lao Zhong. This is why it is written in female handwriting and lured by the whereabouts of demons. Taken together, it is probably extremely low.
"Even if it is a Shinhwa trap, if you are strong enough, you can pull it off..." Meng Qi took the letter and made a decision. Shinhwa officially added reserve members for only forty or fifty, excluding those who are inconvenient to go out and are on missions. The number of sexual transfers is limited, and they are like street rats. Everyone calls for beatings. Once their whereabouts are exposed, they will be immediately besieged. However, they are the right way. They can act openly and ask for help openly. With one fulcrum, they can move the whole city of Ying. Strong exterior.
If Shinhwa's "trap" can compete with so many powerful people on location, why go to such trouble? Just come to the door and kill him by force!
The white letter paper exuded a light fragrance, which seemed to be the smell of Gu Xiaosang. After comprehensive consideration, Meng Qi decided to go to Jiang Zhiwei and secretly informed Qi Zhengyan and Liumenmen. In this way, at least three outsiders secretly followed him. The two of them, if "Myth" is stronger than them, can resist while asking for help from the entire Ying City in the name of the Six Gates.
…………
Longpan Mountain is winding and twisting, with ups and downs, like a dragon's coil. After climbing over a mountain range, Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei could already see the entrance to Graveyard Valley. Inside, there was lush vegetation and seasonal greenery, and grave mounds could be vaguely seen.
"It is said that this place was originally called 'Longteng Valley'. It was the ancestral tomb of the Han family in Yingcheng. It was later moved to the imperial mausoleum. However, after Yingcheng was destroyed, the Zhao family from the divine capital still sent troops to destroy this place." Jiang Zhiwei was very upset. An old incident in Yingcheng, "Because many people believe in the theory of Feng Shui and feel that this valley is the place where the Han family prospered and that it will bear the fortune of the dragon, but they dare not be honest, so they just quietly buried their parents and brothers here, and it became a valley of mass graves."
Meng Qi bent down and slowly approached the Valley of Graves under the cover of trees: "Not to mention, the winter is like spring and the vegetation is lush. This valley is really a bit magical."
"There are many similar places. Who knows if it is the emperor's luck, and things outside the body can be borrowed but not relied on." Jiang Zhiwei followed Meng Qi and sneaked towards the mouth of the valley in a roundabout way, so as not to scare the snake and make a futile attempt.
Meng Qi looked back and saw that "Broken Star Sword" Hong Qian, "Yin Zhang Head Catcher" Qian Kai and other three exterior scenes should be behind him. This was the support of the two of them.
"Don't worry, Master Hong has rich experience in the world. If there is a formation in the Grave Valley, he will definitely be able to tell it." Jiang Zhiwei stared at the valley, alert, but not at all nervous.
Meng Qi nodded, said no more, and slowly followed the trend of vegetation to the valley entrance.
Strangely enough, the valley is full of green grass and trees, and seems to be full of life, but it is completely silent, without any movement, and it also gives people the feeling of a dead place. The combination of the two creates a strange silence.
"There are traces." Jiang Zhiwei began to practice the Ancestral Aperture between the Eyebrows, and her spiritual sense became much stronger.
Meng Qi looked at it intently and let out a sigh in his heart: "How come there are traces of multiple people passing by?"
And judging from the traces, his strength is not as good as that of Lao Zhongtou.
"Maybe it's someone who came here quietly for burial?" Jiang Zhiwei guessed.
"No matter what, let's follow the trail and take a look." Meng Qi turned into a phantom and walked quietly in the silent valley.
After walking for a while, he suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood at the tip of his nose. His heart moved, and he speeded up his pace without caring about concealing his whereabouts.
Jiang Zhiwei also noticed it, raised her sword and charged forward, like a flying rainbow.
After passing a tomb, there are larger mausoleums in front, many of which are damaged and full of robber holes.
In front of the mausoleum, five corpses lay, all of them monks wearing yellow robes. They were all skin and bones, with no flesh and blood.
"Dragon, Elephant, Tiger, Leopard and Peng?" Although only skin and bones were left, Meng Qi's sharp eyesight still recognized the identities of the five corpses. They were the five "Dragon, Elephant, Tiger, Leopard and Peng" monks that he had competed with that day. Join forces with the prince's helper with secret skills!
"Why did they appear here?" Jiang Zhiwei also recognized them. Why did the monks who followed the prince appear in the Grave Valley inexplicably and died under the Heavenly Demon Kung Fu?
In less than three months, Lao Zhong's strength has improved rapidly, and he can easily kill dragons, elephants, tigers, leopards, and rocs... The Heavenly Demon Kung Fu is worthy of being a famous evil kung fu. As long as it can swallow flesh, bones, true energy, and soul, it can kill people. Climbing up... Meng Qi briefly checked the five monks and found no other clues, so he continued forward following the faint smell of blood.
After passing this mausoleum, another corpse fell dead beside the path out of the valley ahead, wearing a black robe and facing the earth.
Meng Qi raised the tip of his knife, and the man in black robe turned over, revealing his trademark rosacea.
"Him?" Meng Qi was even more stunned. This man was the one who secretly met Mi Zijing last night. Why did he appear in the Grave Valley and were there the prince's men nearby?
The man in black robe not only lost his flesh and blood, but also lost most of his bones. If it weren't for his eye-catching nose, Meng Qi might not have recognized him so quickly.
At this time, a figure flew by and landed at the end of the path. He leaned over and picked up a hidden weapon hidden in the grass.
The person who came was wearing six-door standard dark red clothing, with a silver official seal hanging around his waist, a long beard, and eyes that seemed to be permanently narrowed to a slit. He was Yingcheng Yinzhang Qian Kai, a strong man from the third level of the exterior scene.
The hidden weapon in his hand was shaped like a plum blossom, delicate and complex, with a unique charm. It was stained with red blood and had a strong smell that could be smelled from a distance. It was the source of the bloody smell that Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei had smelled before.
Looking at the slightly strange blood stains, Meng Qi thought it was Lao Zhong's blood. Who could hurt him?
Gu Xiaosang? Luo Jiao Sanren?
"The plum blossom nail of 'King of Thieves' Sikong Tu..." Qian Kai whispered to himself.
"Broken Star Sword" Hong Qian and the Huanhua Sword Sect's exterior scene have followed the path outside, trying to locate the trace.
"King of Thieves" Sikong Tu... Him? Hearing this name, Meng Qi's mind buzzed, and many previous events suddenly connected together.
Sikong Tu who is good at robbing tombs, the prince and the King of Jin who came to Yingcheng inexplicably, Mi Zijing and the Five Pure Land Monks who are related to rosacea, the King of Thieves who missed the appointment with Young Master Qinglian last night, Wang Siyuan's reminder... Meng Qi has already sketched it in his mind A story came out:
When Sikong Tu was excavating an ancient tomb, he unexpectedly got a secret treasure from the previous dynasty. It was rumored to be a secret treasure made by Emperor Ai that could enhance the emperor's fortune. He, a thief, had no use for it, so he spread the news to the capital of God and attracted the prince and the king of Jin to Ying. The city fights.
Because he has been active in Jiangdong for a long time, this place is his home court, and there are a large number of people from the Jianghu brought by the Xingyun Banquet. He is not afraid of being decorated with external scenes, and dares to sit on the ground and raise the price. It depends on whether the prince or the king of Jin offers generous conditions. The one with the highest price will win. , so there was contact between the informant Rosacea and people on both sides.
Unexpectedly, the mantis stalks the cicada with the oriole behind, and he is targeted by "Myth".
——If it is not a secret treasure, but a treasure from the previous dynasty, Sikong Tu can directly use it on himself without causing trouble and increasing the risk in vain.
The three exterior actors searched separately. Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei were not idle either, checking the bodies and digging for traces in the valley.
After a while, Qian Kai, Hong Qian and others from the location returned, all shaking their heads.
"Sikong Tu is good at hiding. He lost track of him halfway. He must have escaped. The demon of 'Mythology' chased him all the way, but gradually disappeared." Qian Kai said to Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei.
At present, Meng Qi did not tell Jiang Zhiwei about the old relationship between Young Master Qinglian and the King of Thieves. When they returned to the city and separated, he first pretended to go back to Xingyun Village, then turned around halfway and went directly to the courtyard where Young Master Qinglian rented. Go, intending to ask him if he has any news about Sikong Tu.
When clues are found, he will submit the matter to the Six Doors as a secret report. There is no need to continue to get involved in the fight between several major forces. Whoever gets the secret treasure has nothing to do with him and has no use at all. He might as well use it to get the Six Doors. Door rewards!
Because he loves drinking and being at ease, Young Master Qinglian did not live in the Zhenbao Pavilion opened by the Huanhua Sword Sect, but rented a separate courtyard in a nearby alley. The surrounding environment was quiet, and even at noon, there were few people walking in it.
Stepping on the bluestone slabs and counting the white walls on both sides, Meng Qi walked towards the courtyard where Young Master Qinglian was. As he was walking, he suddenly paused.
Because I heard a low moan!
If it weren't for the quietness here, Meng Qi wouldn't be able to detect it even with his weak ears!
This moan was full of pain and a struggle before death.
Meng Qi frowned thoughtfully, hesitated slightly, and then climbed over the wall to find the source of the moan.
The yard here may have been purchased by a certain merchant. During the New Year, only two old servants were there to guard it. Meng Qi did not cause the slightest movement and stopped in front of the woodshed near the wall.
It was from here that the moan came.
He stretched out his long knife, pushed open the door, and stepped aside to prevent a sneak attack.
The door of the woodshed was broken and old. It creaked open, revealing the scene inside. There was a man in black leaning in front of the stacked firewood. He was half skinny and half rosy, which was extremely strange.
Meng Qi could tell at a glance that most of his flesh and blood had been absorbed by the Heavenly Demon Technique - if he had no raw fingers, his face would not have changed.
After waving his hand and closing the woodshed door, Meng Qi lowered his voice and said, "Sikong Tu?"
The man in black groaned lowly and smiled bitterly: "I originally wanted to protect Liusu and beg him for treatment, but unexpectedly I was secretly attacked by a demon woman and fled here. He has already been injured and will not die soon. Even if Shaolin Dahuandan , is also invalid.”
"This friend, I have a lot of wealth for you, as long as you promise me one thing."
He was very tough, half of his face was attached to his bones, and he didn't stutter when he spoke, but his voice was full of pain.
Meng Qi looked at him with deep eyes. The sunlight filtered in from the window and sprinkled a few golden spots, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.
The man who had disturbed the situation in Ying City was lying quietly in front of him.
