Chapter 744 Shijiabao (Second Update)
The frozen river had just opened, the cold wind was still biting, and the surrounding barren mountains and ridges were deserted. Meng Qi had no idea that he would really disturb people's dreams.
"Sorry, sorry, I got carried away when I encountered a happy event." Meng Qi, who was always polite, said with a cupped hand.
At the same time, he was a little cold in his heart and could not be noticed by himself within a radius of two or three miles. Apart from the fact that he had no malice, the strength of the other party should not be underestimated. If he was not a master, he would have a secret method to hide his information.
An old man with gray hair walked out of the dense woods. He was wearing dirty clothes full of patches. He was holding a green bamboo stick as thick as a bowl. He had eight sacks on his shoulders. His eyebrows were thick and thick, and the corners of his eyes and forehead were full of wrinkles. But he doesn't look ferocious or old at all, and his eyes are as clear as a child's.
The elder of the Beggar Clan? Meng Qi took a breath quietly. He had some grievances with the Beggar Clan. Now that they met suddenly and his appearance did not change, it was inevitable that he would have ups and downs of emotions.
Of course, if the other party is unrelenting, he will not be afraid. Soldiers will block him, water will cover him, he has offended too many powerful people, and the beggar gang has to queue up to get a number!
The old beggar looked Meng Qi up and down: "Young and vigorous, high-spirited, understandable, the old beggar is also here, eh..."
He suddenly paused and looked at Meng Qi suspiciously: "But 'Crazy Sword' Su Meng and Young Master Su are in person?"
Young hero? Hearing this title, Meng Qi replied thoughtfully: "It's me, I wonder who your senior is?"
Doesn't he seem to be hostile to himself?
The old beggar coughed and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm. He did not have the grace of a strong man. He chuckled and said: "The waves behind the river push the waves ahead. The new generation is better than the old ones. How can the old beggar dare to call himself a senior? He is just dozens of years older."
The eighth-generation elder of the Beggar Clan likes a dirty image and doesn't seem to be protective of his own shortcomings... Meng Qi tried hard to recall the information about the six doors, and carefully looked at the old beggar, and found that he was missing an ear. : "It turns out to be senior 'Diangun'."
Ling Yue, the "Crazy Beggar God", is a direct descendant of the Beggar Clan. He practices the "True Secret of Begging for the World". He has a bad temper and does not value etiquette. However, he is brave and courageous and acts upright. He likes to support the underachievers and never shows mercy to the scum in the gang. Because of them, The existence of this group of heroes prevented the Beggar Clan from being driven into evil ways.
Seeing that Meng Qi recognized him, Ling Yue clicked his lower lip and seemed satisfied: "Don't worry about Jiangdong. Human trafficking should be executed. If it were an old beggar who bumped into him, he would still be indignant and take action. Hey, I am a member of the Beggar Gang. The founder of the gang came from a humble background. He begged when he was young. After his death, he had a chance encounter and accomplished the Dharma. He made a great wish to help beggars all over the world to help each other. But among the beggars, there are many criminals and countless scum. It is better to kill them than to help them! "
He didn't shy away from saying that his ancestor was wrong.
Not to mention all, at least half of those who have hands and feet but are reduced to begging are not good people.
Sure enough, he had a bad temper and was outspoken... Meng Qi secretly praised the accuracy of the information, and didn't care much about what Ling Yue said. There were more scum in the Beggar Clan than good people. It would be difficult to turn the whole group around just by relying on a small number of chivalrous people who dare not violate the teachings of their ancestors. He said there was no need to worry, there must be a lot of powerful Beggars down there who wanted to take revenge, so they could only hide it a little bit!
Fortunately, I didn't expect to be friendly with the Beggar Clan.
"I don't know that the senior is resting here. The junior has disturbed me a lot, so I'm leaving now. Please forgive me." Meng Qi planned to leave right away.
Ling Yue nodded first, then suddenly said: "Wait a moment, there is something I want to ask you, Su Shaoxia, to witness."
"Witness?" Meng Qi asked doubtfully.
Ling Yue said with a smile: "The old beggar and Shi Tianqi from Shijiabao have known each other for many years. Their strength has always been equal. They have competed many times and won and lost each other. No one is convinced by the other. Now both of us have reached the point of passing the second level of the ladder. Only The last step is missing, so I want to use the real life-and-death battle between each other to inspire potential, overcome obstacles, and become a master."
"Although we have made a life-and-death contract, no matter who dies, the gang family will not cause trouble, but after all, the agreement was made in a hurry, and no respected person who was not from the Beggar Gang or from Shijiabao could not be found to witness the battle. The contract alone is not enough letter."
"Young Master Su, your current status and prestige in the world is no less than that of most masters. God is really helping me when we happen to meet you. I also ask for your generous help, Young Master. There will be a duel here tonight."
Shijiabao was a famous place in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Shi Tianqi was a martial arts tycoon. He mainly engaged in exchange business between the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the grasslands. He was inextricably linked to the aristocratic families and sects. A pair of judge pens were said to "check the yin and yang, and approve the paintings." "Death", one of the top masters who has the greatest hope of becoming a master.
Although Meng Qi liked to join in the fun due to his temperament, he really lacked interest in the duel between two top players. Just when he was about to refuse, he suddenly heard Ling Yue's last words.
My status and reputation in the world now are no less than those of most masters? Meng Qi was secretly happy in his heart and couldn't help but raise his head and said slightly proudly: "To be valued so highly by seniors, it is my duty for this juniors."
As a righteous young hero with a great reputation, how could he not bear witness to other people's battles of life and death?
Ling Yue laughed and gave a thumbs up: "You are indeed bold and worthy of the name of Crazy Sword."
You say that, and I want to regret it... Meng Qi's smile faltered, and he immediately chatted with Ling Yue about his majestic past, such as running thousands of miles to ambush the golden account masters who went south to plunder the grassland, such as going deep into the grassland to rescue the victims. Some of the righteous young heroes who were captured, for example, offended the Cui family of Gezhou just for justice.
These things made Ling Yue smile happily. Before the battle of life and death, who wouldn't like to recall the glorious past.
Time passed, like water flowing, and the bright moon gradually appeared in the sky. Ling Yue frowned, soared up, sensed the surroundings, and muttered: "Why hasn't Mr. Shi come yet? He has always kept his word..."
"Could it be that something happened to Senior Shi, or there is something else important?" Meng Qi thought for a while and asked.
Ling Yue frowned: "Half an hour has passed. If he hasn't come yet in another half hour, the old beggar will come and ask."
He and Shi Tianqi forged a deep friendship through repeated encounters, otherwise they wouldn't be what they are today.
Meng Qi knew almost nothing about Shi Tianqi, and the Yuxu Divine Calculation had no way to start. Anyway, the Shijiabao matter had nothing to do with him, and he was not in a hurry, so he waited calmly with Ling Yue.
The cold moon began to set in the west, and Ling Yue could no longer sit still: "Old Shi has always been known for keeping his promises. Even if something happens, he should inform the old beggar. Something must have happened. Su Shaoxia, please accompany the old beggar to go there." Going to Shijiabao will prove that he will attend the meeting in the future.”
Meng Qi thought for a while and agreed.
Two streams of light passed through the clouds, like shooting stars, rushing towards Shijiabao in the north.
More than half an hour later, Meng Qi saw the Shijia Fort built in a dangerous place. It was a heavy building with forbidden laws, just like a fortress.
At this time, there was a lot of noise below.
When Ling Yue and Meng Qi fell, only a few of the strong men in Shijiabao could react, while the rest were quite panicked, and the chaos was evident.
Shi Tianqi's son and daughter are both in their twenties. The man is stocky and strong with strong features. The daughter is dressed in purple and has a delicate appearance.
When they saw Ling Yue and Meng Qi, they rushed to greet them: "Uncle Ling, my father, my father's soul lamp has gone out!"
"What?" Ling Yue was shocked and hurriedly stabilized himself, "Speak slowly."
"Who is this?" Shi Xiaoxiu's eyes were filled with tears, but she did not forget to notice the stranger Meng Qi.
Ling Yue introduced: "Young Master Su Meng of 'Crazy Sword'."
"Crazy Sword" Su Meng? For a moment, the masters of Shijiabao became quiet and seemed a little shocked. This was a person who was more famous in the world than Senior Ling Yueling!
Shi Xiaoxiu restrained her shock, bowed, and said with a tearful voice: "It was not yet nightfall, but my father suddenly went out for some unknown reason without leaving a word. In the middle of the night, the second brother who was on duty at the ancestral hall found that my father's soul lamp had been extinguished. Please come back, please come back." You decide for Shijiabao!”
It must be an extremely important thing to make the Lord of Shijiabao go out in a hurry... Meng Qi frowned, the matter was none of his own, and he was relatively calm.
I finally finished Kavin, but it was half an hour late. I was really embarrassed and in tears.
