Chapter 641 Continuous Visits
Langya's "Sanqing Temple" is a common Taoist temple for people to worship and offer incense. It is not a sect, and the location is not very good, but the incense is still prosperous.
There were only a few enlightened experts in the temple, so they naturally had no objection to Meng Qi's offer to stay.
Meng Qi had just settled down, and before he had time to make tea and think about Ruan Yaoguang's attitude, he saw Zhike coming to report that Pengzhou Jinzhang had arrested Nie Zhi for his visit.
"Jin Zhang arrests the head?" Meng Qi was stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked to the door.
Jiangdong includes Jiangzhou and Pengzhou. Langya is the city of Pengzhou. There are six gates in the city. Jinzhang Batou and his assistant Zishou Batou are in charge of the Jianghu criminal affairs of the state. The current Jinzhang is Nie Zhi, a supreme master of the fifth heaven.
Such a person, in most cities, would be a big shot who could shake the entire city with his words and stamp his feet. But there is the Ruan family in Langya, not to mention a strong man at the master level, who can defeat Nie Zhi There are several top masters. If we talk about representing the imperial court, Mr. Ruan was once the Left Chancellor of the Political Affairs Hall. His position was high and powerful, far above Nie Zhi. Therefore, Nie Zhi always kept a low profile in Langya and focused on other cities in Pengzhou. , just like their colleagues in Guangling, Yedu and other cities.
Today, he takes the initiative to visit? With such doubts, Meng Qi walked out of the courtyard and saw Nie Zhi.
Nie Zhi is an old man with gray hair, but he has strong vitality, full teeth, no wrinkles on his face, and his laughter is like a bell: "My good nephew is really a leader of the younger generation. The sword before was shocking. If you ask yourself, I have to avoid it if I'm afraid." Open up."
He was wearing a crimson headhunter's uniform embroidered with gold thread, with a gold medal hanging around his waist. His back was straight and he did not look old.
Hearing him call him nephew, Meng Qi didn't know whether this was a move to get closer to the Su family, or whether it really involved the Su family. He raised his hands and saluted, "Shibo, you are so humble."
Nie Zhi laughed loudly: "There's no point in being modest. I'm getting old. I'm really getting old."
While he was talking, he took the initiative to step into the courtyard and left knowing that the guests were interested.
After sitting on the stone table, Nie Zhi looked around the courtyard. The wind was blowing slowly, but there was nothing unusual. The inside and outside were slightly isolated to prevent eavesdropping.
"My dear nephew, you left home without saying hello, did a lot of things, and then disappeared for more than a year. You only showed up once in Jiangdong, which made your father and your uncle very worried. They were afraid that something might happen to you. Today I finally met you, how can I let you go?" Nie Zhi said with a half-smile.
Meng Qi was so ashamed that he had no feelings for the Su family. After settling the cause and effect, the only thing he cared about was sister Ziyue who was related to his uncle. He didn't even send a few letters back. Most of them were written to Su Ziyue and Gu Changqing to give them guidance on their cultivation. .
"My nephew has offended many powerful people. If he lives in a fixed place, he will easily be ambushed and killed. Therefore, he will not dare to go home until he grows up." Meng Qi thought carefully and said.
This is one of the real reasons.
Nie Zhi shook his head and said: "There are many powerful people in the city of Gods, and the evil heretics are at a standstill. It is one of the safest places in the world. What do you have to worry about, my wise nephew?"
"Shibo Mingjian, the gods have all kinds of extraordinary defenses, which can indeed intimidate the strong. Even the tallest people may not dare to mess around, but this is just a normal situation. If someone does not care about his own life and death, he insists on dragging his nephew to die with him. No matter how many formations and powerful people there are in Shendu, what's the use? The danger is only in the breath!" Meng Qi thought of his "assassination" in Shendu, "And among the enemies my nephew has offended, there are many who can send this person. A kind of dead warrior character.”
"Is it because of the Tathagata Palm?" Nie Zhi showed a little curiosity.
There are more than this. In addition to the Immortality Sect, I have offended almost all the nine evil demons, overtly and covertly. Some of them have been offended more than once, especially "Magic Master" Han Guang. If he knew that I was the one who ruined his perfect plan, I am afraid he would Taking action personally... Meng Qi thought about it silently, and felt more and more that he had a fate with the Nine Paths of Evil, an evil fate!
"So." He answered vaguely, then asked, "I wonder how the situation is at home?"
"The old lady, your father, and your uncle are all in good health. Although they no longer have the title of Marquis, the title of the Eight Great Gods can still shock most Xiaoxiao." Nie Zhi was interested and did not mention Ke Weilan, but he still looked like that anyway.
He paused and said, "Your father seems a little discouraged and often reads Buddhist scriptures and Taoism."
Meng Qi nodded slightly: "Where is my sister-in-law?"
"The family has suffered a big change. Zi Yue has lost her youthfulness. She has made a lot of hard work and made a lot of progress." Nie Zhi praised.
Meng Qi asked about other things, and Nie Zhi answered them one by one. It was really like the meeting between the uncle and his nephew.
"I wonder what the family thinks about my nephew leaving home?" Finally, Meng Qi couldn't help but ask.
Nie Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "Your father said that you are a 'son and daughter of the world and can't stand restraint'."
Sons and daughters of the world? Isn't it synonymous with "homeless"... Meng Qi then gave a wry smile.
After reminiscing about old times, Nie Zhi's face straightened: "I'm here today and I have one more thing to ask of my nephew."
"Shibo, please tell me." Meng Qi knew that he would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything.
Nie Zhi smoothed a few white beards under his chin: "I would also like my nephew to help me find out about the Ruan family's dealings with the blue-blooded people."
He seemed quite confident in the relationship between Meng Qi and the Ruan family.
"I'm afraid it won't be easy to leak the specific plan." Meng Qi frowned.
Nie Zhi shook his head and said: "It's not that I want to know this, but I need to try my best to grasp the ins and outs of the whole matter to avoid emergencies that may cause instability in the place. This is the responsibility of the Six Sects and we have to do it."
He said a few words in a dignified manner first, and then said: "The Ruan family has been closed for a few days, and they have deduced the whereabouts of the blue-blooded people. Apart from sending out masters from time to time to search and confirm, there is no other action. It really makes people speculate a lot."
"At the same time, there are other abnormal things. For example, the head of the Wang family brought 'Luo Shu' to live in the Ruan Mansion, while the eldest son Wang stayed alone in the Xishan Buddhist Temple and ignored him. For example, the Donghai Jianzhuang only had junior members. The invisible sword He Jiu and his entourage came..."
Nie Zhi talked a lot, and finally said sincerely: "If the information my nephew has found involves secrets and the success or failure of things, and it is inconvenient to disclose it, I will never ask further questions."
"My nephew, try to find out." Thinking of Ruan Yaoguang's attitude, Meng Qi was also confused and wanted to find out.
As for where to go to inquire, he already has an excellent candidate, Prince Wang Siyuan!
If some people have a "self-destructive tendency", then Wang Dashengun has a tendency to "play things out" and his mental state is very abnormal. Therefore, he often deliberately reminds him in order to "play out" and come to him Asking will always give you some information.
Nie Zhi left with satisfaction, while Meng Qi drank tea and meditated. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart and looked forward.
His vision blurred, and a gray figure appeared in front of him!
He was bullied as soon as he had a premonition, what a terrifying strength... Meng Qi was on full alert, ready to attack.
What he saw was a gray-robed monk, middle-aged in appearance, honest and honest, with only one pair of eyes that rolled around, giving off a somewhat mischievous feeling.
"Amitabha, I, a poor monk, quit gambling and have met Almsgiver Su." He clasped his hands together with a smile.
Quit gambling? Meng Qi never thought that he was related to quitting killing, because he was a famous monk in the world!
The world is huge and there are many powerful monks, but most of them come from famous Buddhist temples. Even ascetics have more or less sects. Only this one, who seems to have no background on the surface, is a real casual monk who can become a Grandmaster, being on the Earth Ranking made many people say it was unbelievable.
Although the background is ordinary, the monk himself gives people a sense of mystery. The dragon has never seen its end, and he is addicted to gambling. He will bet on everything, and every time he loses everything except for chopping off his hand. He vowed before the Buddha to quit gambling, but the scar healed and he forgot the pain, and soon returned to his old ways. Even if he changed his name to quit gambling, he couldn't correct it.
Logically speaking, a warrior with such a flaw would either find it difficult to improve or easily fall into the trap of others. However, he has survived peacefully until now and his strength has continued to improve. Therefore, this can be regarded as one of the evidences of his mystery.
There are many rumors about gambling monks in the world. Some people say that he is a Qing or blue-level assassin of Bu Ren Lou, or even the white Taoist identity of the owner of Bu Ren Lou. Others say that he has a close relationship with Tieyi Lou, and may be in charge of Tieyi. One of the three most mysterious buildings in the building. In short, this is a monk full of mysteries.
Meng Qi returned the courtesy and said, "Master, why are you here?"
Jie Gong said with a smile: "I heard that Almsgiver Su can bring people to Lanke Temple to observe the master plan of the God's Palm. I, no, the poor monk is itchy and can't bear it, so I came here to ask for permission."
"Taking people there rashly may offend the Bodhisattva." Meng Qi had originally planned to take Ruan Yushu and others there. If it happened too frequently, even if Yuemani Bodhisattva abided by the "great wish" of the Sambhogakaya and was not unhappy, he would still have to beware of Lan. The other monks in Ke Temple were angry and ruined their own good in important matters.
Besides, I am not related to the gambling monk, so why should I take him there?
Jie Gong clasped his hands together again: "The poor monk just happened to lose everything. He has a breeze in his sleeves and it is difficult to exchange anything valuable. If not, let's make a bet. If he loses, the poor monk will sell himself to the donor. Year, if the poor monk is lucky enough to win, please ask the donor to take the poor monk to Lanke Temple."
Bet... I really have a gambling habit... Meng Qi said with a smile: "What's the point of asking for a master? How uncomfortable would it be to have someone following you every day?"
He has too many secrets, and following a grandmaster is just a way of seeking death. He is not like Master Yunhe who can hide behind the Wanxiang Gate.
Before Jie Gambling could speak, Meng Qi turned to ask: "I wonder which senior told the master that I can lead people into Lanke Temple to understand the general outline of the Divine Palm?"
If this matter spreads, I will be annoyed to death.
Jie Gambling looked around and lowered his voice: "The poor monk has some friendship with He Qi. It took him a long time to get this news. Don't worry, no one else knows."
"Sword Madness" He Qi... Meng Qi thought about the fact that only He Jiu and his servants came to Donghai Sword Manor this time. He smiled and said: "Why don't you go back and think about something that can impress me?"
Jie Gong frowned: "The poor monk is so poor that he is the only one..."
He sighed and turned away, full of distress.
Meng Qi looked at the back of his gray robe and mango shoes, his thoughts shifted, and he considered the whole matter.
…………
In Ruan's house, He Jiu, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly stood up after closing his eyes quietly for a long time. He walked out slowly with a smile on his face, full of boldness and confidence.
"Young Master, where are you going?" His servant asked in confusion.
He Jiu laughed: "Let's discuss with Su Meng."
"Why, why?" His servant's eyes widened.
He Jiu put his hands behind his back and said with emotion: "I entered the outdoor scene a year and a half earlier than him, but now I am almost on the edge of the first level of the ladder. If I go further back, he will gradually widen the gap in realm. If I don't take advantage of now There will be no such opportunity for a long time for people of the same level to compete!”
"If there is a gap in realm, neither I nor he will be happy. There will always be one party that feels like the bigger one is bullying the smaller one."
His servant quickly comforted him: "Even if he is in the fourth calamity, you, young master, can reach the sky in one step. There won't be a big gap."
He Jiu smiled without any grudges: "I, He Jiu, am not the one who cares about these things? He is indeed improving faster than me now, but there will be an end in the future, maybe half-step Dharmakaya, Dharmakaya, or the realm of the six Taoists. I Walk step by step, walk steadily, and one day you will be able to look at him levelly again.”
Between his words, he was full of strong confidence.
After saying this, He Jiu looked up to the sky and laughed, stepped out of the room and went straight to Sanqing Temple.
When he arrived at the gate, he saw Zhike coming up to him: "Almsgiver He, Almsgiver Su has known of your arrival and please go to Sanqing Hall to meet you."
"Okay." He Jiu didn't hide his breath along the way, and it was no surprise that Meng Qi noticed it.
Under the guidance of Zhike, he crossed the square and entered the Sanqing Hall. Wherever he looked, he saw the three statues above him first.
With Yuanshi Tianzun in the center, Daode Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun are on both sides. Looking from left to right, they appear to be old, middle-aged and young respectively.
These three statues hold a jade Ruyi, hold a Tai Chi diagram, or hold a green sword. Although they are not magical, they are carved lifelike, with wisdom, majesty, vicissitudes, vastness and other feelings revealed respectively. Combined with the respective myths and legends of the three Taoist statues, There was an unusual solemnity and vast oppression in the hall.
He Jiu subconsciously relaxed his breathing, and moved his gaze downwards. He saw Meng Qi, wearing a black outfit, with his eyes half open and half closed, sitting under the statue of the Three Pure Ones, deep and restrained, as if he was one body!
