Chapter 455 Worry-free Valley
A whirlpool seemed to appear on the crowded street, and pedestrians passed by it involuntarily, leaving a hollow in the center.
Meng Qi, who was wearing a green shirt, straddled a long sword at his waist, with his hands behind his back, and passed by Shangguan Heng, who was standing there blankly. He seemed to be sure that Shangguan Heng would not get angry and attack, or he had absolute confidence in his own strength. Even if Shangguan makes a sneak attack, he doesn't care.
Shangguan Heng's face turned red and he couldn't believe that he had lost like this, but the fact was the fact and he couldn't deny it.
The tyranny in his eyes became more and more obvious, but he also felt more confused, as if he was still immersed in the memory of his past life and reincarnation and couldn't extricate himself.
Life after life, men and women, have a big dream, where is "I"?
The man with a Lulong accent looked at this scene on the street, swallowed hard, and was completely speechless.
Is this the strength of number two on the list?
Is this "Crazy Sword" Su Meng?
There was a huge gap between the real battle and the scene he imagined. There was simply no comparison. This made him even more shocked by Meng Qi's strength and the ethereal and elusive sword skills.
Even the few Dajin merchants were stunned. Although they had full confidence in Meng Qi and did not have much doubt about his ranking, such a gap was too shocking!
The green shirt blended into the crowd and floated away. Shangguan Heng still stood there, unable to extricate himself for a long time.
…………
In the dead of night, in the dense forest near the mass grave.
Meng Qi found the tomb according to the description given by Sikong Tu's wife.
After recalling the arrangements of various vicious agencies, Meng Qi focused on the details and searched for the most appropriate position.
If you are not afraid of destroying the things inside, directly activating the treasure soldiers and splitting open the tombs would be the easiest and most effective way to break the mechanism, but naturally you cannot do this now.
The most vicious thing about the mechanism left by Sikong Tu is that if the previous part fails or is destroyed, the last mechanism will spew corrosive venom and destroy the ancient books inside, making the tomb robbers waste their efforts. Meng Qi's biggest headache right now That's the point - according to Sikong Tu's wife, unless everyone from the agency comes in person or Sikong Tu, who has various secrets of tomb robbing, is resurrected, normal people cannot undo this arrangement.
In the dense forest, several tomb robbers wandering nearby spied on Meng Qi furtively.
"Brother, what do you think he is doing standing there?" the little thief, whose face was covered with black cloth, leaving only his nostrils and eyes, asked curiously.
The leader of the tomb robbers said as if he had a toothache: "You can't come here to pay homage to an old friend in the middle of the night, right?"
He suspected that the other party was also eyeing that tomb.
"Brother, didn't you say that there are many mechanisms in that tomb, and you have to slowly dig tunnels to unearth them?" the little thief said in surprise, he trusted the boss's judgment.
"No, based on our experience, the tomb must have no less than five mechanisms! If we are wrong, we will write the last name backwards!" the leader said confidently.
The little thief muttered secretly: "Boss, your surname is Tian..."
"...In short, he will definitely retreat when faced with difficulties, slowly, no, slowly." The leader is very "literary".
Meng Qi ignored them and thought about it briefly before making a decision. Suddenly, he stretched out his right hand, his five fingers turned into claws and the color turned into dark gold, and he suddenly grabbed onto the tomb.
The gray stone outside the tomb was like rotten wood, which could be broken by scratching. The arrows and poisonous needles inside were swishing down, densely packed and difficult to avoid, and they all hit Meng Qi's hands.
The slight sound of gold and iron clashing continued, and all the hidden weapons fell powerlessly. Meng Qi's right hand did not slow down at all, and he shook up the falling rocks with one blow and flicked away the poisonous insects.
Poof, the bamboo tube shattered, and jet-black venom spurted out, falling towards the fur-wrapped book below.
At this moment, a pale golden hand appeared above the book, holding them in its palm.
Buzz, the venom spread on the back of the hands and arms, making a scalp-numbing sound, and rising up waves of white mist, but the light golden color did not fade at all.
Meng Qi took back his hand, looked at the stack of books, nodded with satisfaction, and turned to leave.
The location he chose avoided most of the traps.
"Is this how you succeed?" The peeping little thief was shocked. He only saw the other party breaking the outside of the tomb, reaching in, and easily taking out the things!
The leader was stunned for a while and said with difficulty: "Yes, he can break the stone so easily. He is definitely a master. We can't compare!"
"But what about the mechanism inside?" The little thief asked blankly.
"This..." The leader didn't know how to answer.
The little thief came back to his senses and was eager to try: "Brother, I'm afraid there are no traps in there! Let's go over and have a look, maybe we can find the missing treasures!"
"There may be a mechanism, but it's broken!" The leader didn't want to slap himself, but his eyes also showed greed.
Meng Qi took the book and walked out of the dense forest. Suddenly he heard screams coming from inside, and he shook his head and laughed.
He didn't look back, he found a quiet place at random, and started reading a book by the moonlight.
"They are spreading secrets..." After a while, Meng Qi frowned slightly and whispered to himself.
One of the ancient books examined the historical changes of Wushou Valley in detail. First, the general location was inferred, and later some clues were found in the local area. Unfortunately, the entrance and exit could not be found. The owner of the ancient book contracted a serious illness and died of a sudden illness. Before his death, he left relevant contents behind for future generations to come and explore, but somehow, this book became someone else's burial object.
According to the contents of the book, the Valley of Worry in the past was an ancient secret place, but now it is considered to be the secret place of the vast sea.
Bomi is the most famous dangerous place in Hanhai. It has a complex shape and is covered with red mist that affects the senses. It is very convenient for hiding. I don’t know how many vicious people had to hide inside because they had offended important people. Among them, there were many strong ones in the exterior scene. Xuan Bei back then He fought with the Crying Old Man all the way to the vicinity of Bomi, so Meng Qi knew it quite well.
"The black fur that inspired the series of Zhenwu missions was obtained by Hanhai horse bandits from a mysterious tomb. Worry-free Valley is reasonable in Hanhai..." Meng Qi nodded slightly and temporarily suppressed the urge to search for the entrance. It is a dangerous place. , then a character like Luo Ju is unwilling to go into depth for any reason. In addition, due to his hatred of the crying old man, he does not have the ability to do outdoor scenes, so it is better not to die.
The other books also more or less involved a certain mausoleum or secret place, recording the changes in many ancient place names, which gave Meng Qi a lot of knowledge, but most of them were scattered clues, making it impossible for Meng Qi to follow the pictures. .
"No wonder Sikong Tu chose to excavate the Han family's ancestral tomb and bury these books here..." Meng Qi turned to the end and sighed. Fortunately, he didn't have high expectations. It would be an unexpected surprise to have clues about Wuyou Valley. !
Putting away the book, Meng Qi looked up at the starry sky, looking at the deep darkness and the bright spots of light, wondering what he was thinking.
The next day, after confirming that Sikong Tu's wife and children were safe and unharmed, Meng Qi left Leli.
Not far out of the city gate, he saw a person standing in front of the official road, it was Shangguan Heng with thick and messy eyebrows.
"What? Have you figured out how to guard against that knife?" Meng Qi looked interested.
Shangguan Heng clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth. It took him a long time to squeeze two words out from between his teeth: "No."
"If not, why are you stuck here?" Meng Qi raised his eyebrows again and again.
Does he want to taste reincarnation again? Are you still addicted?
Shangguan Heng said with an ashen face: "Just because I haven't thought about it now doesn't mean I won't be able to think about it later. I'm afraid that after I think about it, I won't be able to find you anywhere, so I plan to follow you."
This guy is really stubborn... Meng Qi laughed and said, "Follow if you like."
He stepped forward indifferently, and Shangguan followed him at a distance of two or three feet with a twisted face.
Not long after walking, the summer rain came as soon as it came, falling in a majestic manner and forming a water line.
Shangguan Heng was just waiting to find a place to take shelter from the rain, or use the protective aura to block the rain, when he saw the mad knife in front of him raised his face slightly, accepting the rain calmly, as if he was feeling it.
His clothes quickly became wet, but it did not prevent him from walking in the rain at all.
"Actively reclaiming the body-protecting energy? What does he want to do?" Shangguan Heng looked at the back of the green shirt in front of him, feeling a little confused and subconsciously speeding up his pace, fearing that he would lose his trace.
When the rain stopped and the official road entered the mountain, white mist steamed around Meng Qi's body, and his clothes quickly dried.
The road was muddy after the rain, but he didn't rest or use Qinggong. He just moved forward step by step, which made Shangguan Heng feel even more weird.
After following him for several days, Shangguan Heng discovered that Kuang Dao acted casually and never cared about sleeping in the wild. He seemed to be immersed in some strange feeling.
"He is comprehending the world and trying to connect and unite heaven and man?" Shangguan Heng was thoughtful, but he felt it was different, like now.
At this time, the night was dark, the wilderness was deserted, and there was no one around. "Crazy Knife" Su Meng was leaning on a piece of bluestone, holding a piece of weed in his mouth, looking at the stars in ecstasy, without any sign of understanding nature.
Shangguan Heng had a straight temper, and his curiosity could no longer be contained. He glared a few steps over, frowned and asked, "What on earth are you doing?"
Meng Qi held a piece of grass in his mouth and leaned casually on the stone. After hearing the words, he came back to his senses and asked instead:
"What would you do if you wanted to try to connect with nature and human beings or even become one?"
There is a standard answer to this... Shangguan Heng said calmly: "Of course it is to understand nature. Everyone has different skills, different character, different state of mind, and different things they understand. Then use this to adjust the inner world, and slowly near."
"If we can initially think about the path that is most consistent with ourselves, that is, the inner scene that will appear in the future, we can say that the unity of heaven and man is perfect."
Meng Qi did not look at him, but looked at the starry sky again, and said with emotion: "But is the heaven and earth that I perceive the real heaven and earth? With our realm and our vision, how can we recognize the heaven and earth clearly?"
"It's just a preliminary way to find out, and we will slowly explore it in the future. If we can clearly understand the world, we must be at the level of the five ancient emperors." Shangguan Heng said disdainfully.
Meng Qi smiled, still looking at the deep and charming starry sky: "I know, but if you think about it in advance, it shouldn't be a bad thing."
His understanding of the unity of heaven and man and even finding the path was originally the same as Shangguan Heng's. However, in the last reincarnation mission, in order to scare Zuo Hanfeng and Yin Lenghui, he reversely used the "magic of changing the sky and striking the earth" to perform part of the previous life. The knowledge and my own understanding of Yuanshi, now that I think about it, are suddenly inexplicably scary.
Is this world really a round sky?
Are the stars and the sun really different?
His own path obviously includes the content of the world view, including the understanding of heaven and earth. Without this matter, Meng Qi must have initially found the direction, and then slowly explored and made small-scale corrections when it became a location. But now, if he can initially establish a sense of direction, Is the understanding of heaven and earth better?
Is "Yuanshi" really the "Yuanshi" that I understand?
"If you don't have enough realm and forcefully think about the things of heaven and earth, you will only become a madman, leaving a mental barrier that can no longer be broken through." Shangguan Heng said coldly.
Meng Qi did not answer, but pointed directly at the starry sky and said in an erratic tone:
"What is the difference between the stars and the sun?"
"Does the sun not have the power of stars?"
…
"In the beginning of the ancient times, who preached it?"
"If the upper and lower parts are not visible, how can we examine them?"
Questions came into Shangguan Heng's ears one after another. He stared blankly at the young man in front of him, suddenly feeling that the other person was unpredictable and difficult to see through. He and he seemed to be in different worlds.
