Chapter 686 Watching the Fire from the Other Bank

Chapter 686 Watching the Fire from the Other Bank

Meng Qi was holding an oil-paper umbrella, as if he were walking in the rain, walking slowly on the bustling streets. Shopkeepers, vendors, and pedestrians in ordinary clothes were like waves, frozen or moving.

The Divine Capital has always been known for its large number of skilled players, so Meng Qi did not feel inappropriate about this before. However, after hearing Yuan Lihuo mention that the ruins of the Nine Heavens were spread secretly in the Divine Capital, looking at all this, it felt completely different and crowded. There seemed to be many powerful people hidden in the crowd. They came in a hurry and left in a hurry, their expressions were solemn and their undercurrents were turbulent.

"It's really a stone that stirs up a thousand waves..." Meng Qi looked around with the corner of his eyes in a relaxed mood, without stretching his mind. Anyway, no matter whether the news about the Nine Heavens Ruins is true or false, and whether there is any weirdness or conspiracy behind it, he has no idea. He didn't plan to wade into this muddy water. It had nothing to do with him unless Gu Xiaosang asked for cooperation with a contract.

Therefore, he now has a sense of superiority as if he is staying out of the situation and is a bystander. Seeing the raindrops falling, he holds up an oil-paper umbrella and looks at the pedestrians passing by with a smile.

It feels really good to watch the fire from the other side!

Raindrops bloomed on the bluestone. Of course, Meng Qi would not go to Antai Building to join in the fun. He randomly found an inn and asked for a relatively clean guest room.

This is an independent courtyard, divided into three rooms on the left, right and middle. As soon as he stepped inside, the smile on Meng Qi's lips became even stronger.

Sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard was a Taoist priest with a wooden hairpin. His face was wrinkle-free, his hair was black and white, and his breath was long. His eyes were half open and half closed. He turned a blind eye to Meng Qi. He seemed to be immersed in the Taoist book in his hand, and his eyes were straight. The rainwater is just blocked by the dense canopy of the trees.

The window of the right side room was propped up, revealing a face that was both happy and angry, with willow eyebrows at the temples, a straight nose, and a picturesque face. There was a bit of valor hidden in the beauty. The red dress was bright but not flashy. He was obviously a good person in the world. Children.

Her aura was only at the level of awakening, but her lowered eyes seemed to be covering something, and she didn't even look at Meng Qi, as if she had sensed it already and didn't care much.

"It's true that in the capital city where all the storms come together, there are two strong men hiding in a small guest house..." Meng Qi stayed out of the incident, too lazy to spy on the other party's true strength. He walked under the eaves, put away the oil paper umbrella, and shook off the raindrops. , leisurely opened the door of the middle room, went in, lit a lamp to illuminate the darkness, and took out his own copy of the Tao Te Ching to study.

This book is a little weird. He doesn't trust the Six Paths at the moment, so he doesn't want to identify it yet.

The woman in the red dress and the Taoist priest with the wooden hairpin remained the same, and the whole yard only heard the sound of ticking, giving it a quiet and profound feeling.

The blue lantern illuminated the book, and Meng Qi held the "Tao Te Ching" in his hand, shaking his head while reading, paying no attention to what was happening outside the window.

…………

The next day, when the wind and rain stopped and the sky was clear and clear, Meng Qi changed his clothes and walked out of the inn, planning to meet Su Ziyue and Gu Changqing secretly.

People were coming and going on the street, Meng Qi walked slowly, wandering among them, with a peaceful heart, admiring the beauty and ugliness of the world of mortals.

Suddenly, a woman in a red dress who was in the same courtyard hurried past, passed Meng Qi unconsciously, and turned into a side road.

After a few breaths, the Taoist priest wearing a wooden hairpin caught up to him. When he saw Meng Qi, he smiled and nodded as a greeting, and then turned to another road.

"They are all the way to Antai Tower." Meng Qi smiled slightly and walked straight forward, deep into the inner city.

As soon as he crossed the fork in the road, the woman in red dress and the Taoist priest with wooden hairpin who were far away from here looked back at the same time in the crowd, looking at that place, they both exhaled, as if they were relieved of some doubts.

Contrary to the direction of Antai Building, Meng Qi gradually approached the Su Mansion. At this time, the smile on his face became even brighter because Su Ziyue walked out briskly. Her appearance had grown, less immature, more lively and gentle, green. The dress reveals a bit of freshness.

Meng Qi pretended to be a young man shopping and walked slowly in the direction of Su Ziyue. He was on guard because of some secret luck.

When they were less than five steps away, the Meng Qiling Platform suddenly shook, and it seemed that one could feel the "looks" falling on Su Ziyue and the people passing by her.

There was surveillance... Meng Qi's expression remained unchanged, and he looked towards the stall on the left with a smile. He allowed Su Ziyue to pass behind him, and quietly activated the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique, Yuanshi Golden Lotus, and Yuxu Divine Calculation!

The crowd seemed to thin out from near to far, revealing several hazy places in Meng Qi's heart.

"One, two..." Meng Qi counted silently, and there were about four monitors who were not affiliated with each other. Some of them were very powerful, and it was difficult to distinguish the specific situation, while some were relatively weak and subtle.

The four forces, Su Nu Dao, Destroy Tianmen, Weeping for the Old Man and Quit Killing? Meng Qi sneered in his heart, without exposing it, he went straight forward and left from the street on the left side of Su Mansion.

There is no need to attack now. After two or three years, when you have reached the level of a master and can stand up to the peak for a moment, or withstand a half-step blow for a short period of time, you can then ask Abbot Kongwen and Lingbao Tianzun to help you and destroy them in one fell swoop. Hidden dangers, even if long-established evil ways such as Su Nu Dao and Mie Tian Clan are difficult to eliminate, they will still be dealt a heavy blow!

Of course, Meng Qi's fourth calamity and half-step Dharmakaya is just around the corner. He knows it well, and his enemies know it even more. The longer the delay, the crazier the enemies will become. They must get rid of him before he grows up. Therefore, Meng Qi Qi believes that the last one or two years have been fine, but in two years' time there may be many desperate and risky things, such as kidnapping relatives so that he can go to a meeting alone.

"Wait six doors down, send a letter to my family, inform them in detail about the ferocity of the enemy, ask them to keep their formations open, and restrain the little girl from going out, and then ask Uncle Wang and the others to help take care of her..." Meng Qi had already made a calculation in his mind.

It is difficult to "carry out evil" in the capital of the gods. With such an arrangement, I believe it will be foolproof.

Logically speaking, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no reason to prevent a thief for a thousand days. This level of vigilance is really unsustainable, but Meng Qi does not need the Su family to maintain it for long, at most three years.

This is the confidence of the world-famous "Crazy Sword"!

After doing all this, Meng Qi returned to the inn as usual. It was already dark. He continued to light a lamp and read a book, studying the "Tao Te Ching" and wondering what was unusual about it.

At the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart that there was trouble in the entrance. The master had entered the stupa for a long time, and there was no sign of nirvana and rebirth. Even if he wanted to take him to comprehend the palm of the Tathagata, it would not work. As for the younger junior brother, the aura Hidden deep, he still fell into a deep sleep, but his face was ruddy, and his flesh and blood was pregnant with terrifying power. According to Abbot Kongwen, the junior brother's state was similar to the content of the "Dream Sutra", but he had always been focused on it and had never read it. "The Great Dream Sutra" may be the harvest of understanding the general outline of the Tathagata God's Palm.

As the night got darker, the Taoist priest with a wooden hairpin in his hair carried a pot of wine and walked slowly through the door. He looked up at Meng Qi's reading figure reflected on the window paper, smiled slightly, and walked back to his room.

As the night got deeper and deeper, Meng Qi put away the obscure "Tao Te Ching" and blew out the green lantern.

"It's quiet at night, be careful with the candle..." The watchman passed by, and the woman in red fell into the courtyard. She only showed her awakening level, because the Shendu array monitored larger movements.

She raised her head cautiously and looked to the left side room. When she saw the Taoist priest pouring himself a drink, her eyes suddenly darkened.

She glanced at the middle room and saw that the lights were out, the room was dark, and the young man in green shirt seemed to have laid down and fell asleep.

Taking a deep breath, the woman in red quietly returned to her room.

Meng Qi stood by the window with his hands behind his back, hiding in the darkness of the room, watching their actions with a smile, feeling peaceful and undisturbed.

…………

Another day later, the emperor's brother's residence.

Zhao Heng ended today's practice, paid a brief greeting to Yuan Lihuo, the "Blood Fang Divine Catcher" who was secretly "protecting" him, and then returned to his room.

He closed the door of the room, and the forbidden law automatically opened, isolating the inside and outside.

At this time, Zhao Heng let out a long breath. Although the entire mansion occupies a very large area, only in this small room can he feel at ease and truly belong to himself, without being spied on by outsiders!

——The prince has privacy after all, and he will definitely not let anyone other than eunuchs "spectate" during sexual intercourse, so the political hall tacitly approved that Zhao Heng's bedroom was arranged to prevent prying eyes.

Just as he relaxed, Zhao Heng suddenly felt nervous, as if there was a thorn in his back. He turned around suddenly and saw a mysterious man wearing a wide black robe sitting across the table, with a mask of "Yuanshi Tianzun" in the drama on his face. He was playing with a green ornament in his hand, with a chaotic and deep gem inlaid in the center.

"Yuanshi Tianzun? Are you from Xianji?" Zhao Heng quickly calmed down.

Meng Qi chuckled and said, "Exactly."

Zhao Heng's thoughts turned quickly and he speculated on the opponent's strength. He was actually able to enter his room without anyone noticing under the strict surveillance of the political hall!

"Why are you here?" Zhao Heng looked calm.

"King Wei, you are in a difficult situation. You are alone and weak. How much do you need external help?" Meng Qi rarely used other identities to talk to his companions, which felt a bit strange.

Zhao Heng's expression changed slightly, then returned to normal. He smiled and walked to sit across from Meng Qi: "Your Excellency, you want to drag me into a fairyland?"

"Of course, after joining the Immortal Trail, you can obtain the skills under the title, buy cheap elixirs and utensils, use the exchange power of the Six Paths from time to time, and exchange items and information, such as reincarnation talismans, with your companions all over the world. What you need to do is to complete a fairy mission every year. On the premise of not endangering the interests of your own family or the people you care about, even if other members of the fairy have tasks to deal with the Zhao family, they will inform you in advance... "Meng Qi briefly talked about the benefits and costs.

Zhao Heng listened seriously, thinking carefully, and did not answer for the time being.

Meng Qi added: "And all of this requires you to have a certain degree of freedom. We hope that you will make progress by retreating and give up your position as the crown prince for the time being. If there is an opportunity in the future, we will do our best to help you ascend to the throne of God."

Zhao Heng was silent for a while, then slowly exhaled a breath: "What I practice is a new world-shaking book that combines humane techniques. The more senior the position, the faster the practice. Once there is no longer the position of the emperor's younger brother, the improvement in cultivation will be If I am slow, I will die in reincarnation sooner or later, but as long as I ascend to the throne of God and become the leader of humanity, I will immediately be able to break through the current shackles..."

The premise is to have the auxiliary cultivation with items such as the True Emperor's Seal.

Zhao Heng's meaning is clear and clear. He will not give up his current position, no matter how difficult the situation is.

Meng Qi looked at him as if he had met him for the first time. He had always known that Zhao Laowu was ambitious, but he did not expect that he would be so persistent.

Is there a side behind every companion that I don't know about?

He sighed: "Do you know how much help you gave up?"

Zhao Heng said confidently with a smile: "I wonder if there are any peripheral members of Xianji? I have my own skills, no title is needed, as long as I can exchange for items, etc., and although I can't complete the task, I can help out in the court."

Meng Qi thought for a while and said calmly: "Okay."

…………

Back in the yard, the wind was heavy and the rain was light. Meng Qi sat blankly in front of the window, thinking about many things. The Taoist priest with the wooden hairpin and the woman in red had not returned yet.

Gradually, the night got late and everyone was quiet. Suddenly, a figure fell into the courtyard and crashed into Meng Qi's room. The pretty face of the woman in red turned pale and she said urgently:

"I am Sun Yuexiu of the Blue Moon Sword Sect. I need immediate treatment. Help me get rid of the blood and stains on the outside. I will be rewarded tomorrow!"
