Chapter 886 Hatred is no match for interests (first update)
In Changning City, the rising sun shines through the mist and brings light.
At this time, there are exterior scenes on the city wall. The strong men are leading the masters to guard their positions. The forbidden law is half opened, and the city gate is wide open, welcoming the horse teams coming back from all directions. They are full of farmers and rice. Although the atmosphere is depressing. It was urgent, but there was no sign of the demonic tide coming.
"Hey, how could it be possible? Shouldn't the demonic tide happen at the same time?" Qin Shuanghua looked at it from a distance, his tone was extremely doubtful.
Seeing that Meng Qi and others were puzzled, Qin Shuanglian hurriedly explained: "In all previous demonic tides, the evil demon army surged out from all the gaps at the same time, without exception. Now Changning City seems to have no signs of the demonic tide, just because it has received the news. Knowing that something had happened elsewhere, we called back the farmers and protection teams who were working outside.”
"If something goes wrong, it must be a demon." Meng Qi frowned, "But this is good, it saves the effort of getting rid of the demonic tide first, and you can directly seal the gap, but you must be careful, lest there is something weird. "
Fearing that the demonic tide would cause a large number of casualties, Meng Qi, Jiang Zhiwei and others chose to save Changning City first, but the place was peaceful and orderly, and did not look like a catastrophe was coming.
The Qin sisters stopped talking and followed Meng Qi and others to the gap in the area. However, they had doubts and looked back at Changning City again and again.
…………
In Changning City, Qi Zhengyan was dressed in a green shirt. He had ordinary facial features and an ordinary temperament. Apart from appearing relatively taciturn, there was nothing different from ordinary people.
The black-armored demon general has changed his attire. He is tall and muscular, and his uniform almost bursts. He currently has a Chinese character face and broom eyebrows, and is not angry or intimidating. If he is walking in the wild and a caravan encounters him, he will definitely be killed. Then he bowed and told King Yamashiro to show mercy.
"Your Majesty, why don't you just set up a martial arts hall, teach everyone without distinction, and spread the treasures widely? Now that the demonic tide is coming, I believe no one will take care of it!" Whenever the black-armored demon general speaks, his flattering and wretched temperament will change his majesty. Rinse clean.
However, he did not use sound transmission or blockade of the nearby area, but only Qi Zhengyan could hear it, which was enough to prove his current strength and past accumulation.
Qi Zheng walked on the street, looking left and right, and said without emotion: "What I said before is what I have observed and summarized, but it is difficult to say without being completely consistent with this world. You can't act on the surface, you have to go deep and be down-to-earth. If you don’t get in touch with the middle- and lower-class people here, and don’t understand their problems and difficulties, it’s easy to go in the wrong direction or be false and empty. Only through serious, in-depth and practical contact and investigation can we prescribe the right medicine, change the steps of doing things accordingly, or slow down the process. Or Meng knows it well.”
"Morality has something to say, and the way to change is the way to permanence. Those who do not know how to respond flexibly based on the actual situation and the essence of the concept are like stale zombies."
The black-armored demon general quickly took out a small book, wrote ink words directly with his fingers, and said repeatedly: "What your majesty said is absolutely true. Those pedantic and rigid guys are sometimes more harmful than us evil demons!"
At this time, Qi Zhengyan saw an old vegetable seller on the side of the road looking directly at a man wearing a brocade robe and an imposing figure. His eyes were complicated and he seemed to have low self-esteem, so he felt a move in his heart and walked over, squatting in an inconspicuous manner. On the opposite side, he pretended to pick up some vegetable leaves and asked casually: "Old man, do you know the master who just passed by?"
His words were friendly and contagious. The old man lost his guard and clicked his cracked lips: "More than thirty years ago, the Changning Sect accepted disciples. He and I attended at the same time and met several times. Sometimes, he is unstable and unwilling to work hard. He is far less diligent and diligent than me, and of course he is not my opponent. "
But now, there is a man in bright clothes and an angry horse who looks like he is in his early thirties, and the other one is surviving on the street, and his face is old, as if he is seventy years old.
"He joined the Changning Sect, but you didn't?" Qi Zhengyan asked directly.
The old man's eyes became dim, and he looked at Caiye and said in a low voice: "The Changning Sect only accepted a hundred disciples at that time, of which forty were given to people with various relationships with their sect, and the remaining sixty were chosen first for their talents. Yes, he was one of them. In the end, there were only twenty-seven places left for us, and I happened to be only at twenty-eight. "
"Later, I continued to practice the secret books bought at the bookstore, and participated in many selections. But as I got older, I became farther and farther away from the Changning Sect, so I had to find another way to make a living. Alas, now that I am old and frail, I can do There are fewer and fewer things..."
"Do you hate the Changning Sect? Do you hate the people who get started directly because of their various connections with the sect? Do you hate those people who are talented but not as hardworking as you? Do you hate that there were only twenty-seven places at that time?" Qi Zhengyan His tone was calm and his eyes were soft.
The old man was startled and said blankly: "Hate? Why do you hate? I have relatives who grew up in Changning Sect. They are the legacy of the efforts of my ancestors. It is natural and reasonable. What do I have to hate? As a sect, I definitely want to recruit people with good talents. Disciples will be able to go further and grow faster in the future. This is God's favor. They are born with them. If you can't envy them, why should you hate them? Changning Sect has already agreed to only accept a hundred disciples, and I know it very well. , although, although it has always been regretful and painful, we can’t let God change the quota from 100 to 101 in advance, right?”
"The twenty-seven people in front of me at that time were all very hard-working and diligent. They were no worse than me. Is there anything to hate about them being able to enter the Changning Sect?"
"But with all your hard work, diligence, concentration and dedication, why have you fallen to this point?" Qi Zhengyan asked again.
The old man's eyes were dull, and he suddenly pressed his head with his hand: "It's me! It's me who didn't work hard enough and couldn't beat those twenty-seven people! It's because I have no talent. I didn't realize it until I was almost fifty years old. It's me. Myself, my own self!”
"No, the fact that you are ranked twenty-eight among so many people and that you can practice ordinary martial arts to enlightenment shows your hard work and dedication. You are not wrong." Qi Zhengyan shook his head.
"They are not wrong, and I am not wrong, but why did I end up in this situation?" The old man covered his head, feeling extremely painful, "There is nothing wrong, but whose fault is it?"
Qi Zhengyan stood up slowly and looked at him with pity.
…………
In a courtyard in Changning City, Lord Ziwei looked at Xi, Queen Mother of the West and Lord Beidou Star in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "The descendants of the Demon Lord want to use the demonic tide to initiate changes. There will be some action in the near future. Let's look for clues first. To determine his whereabouts, but remember not to act blindly, there must be powerful people in him or around him. "
The three Shinhwa members all responded silently and soon went their separate ways.
…………
The river is surging and the water is pitch black. This is the gap between Changning's Nine Netherworlds.
At this time, the river water was swirling and spinning wildly, and the core was directly exposed on the river bed. There should have been a ferocious gap like a giant centipede, but now a mountain peak stood, completely black, like a spire, with smooth sides, as if unable to Climb.
As soon as they saw this mountain peak, the Qin sisters let out a sigh of relief at the same time. When did such a change occur in the gap in Changning?
But Meng Qi narrowed his eyes. This mountain peak was so familiar, and it felt so similar!
The peaks that I have seen in the Demon King's secret realm, the peaks that may be superimposed, the peaks that have the marks of several descendants of the Demon King's Claw before they died, and the peaks that have mysteriously disappeared in the main world!
It actually came to this world?
Jiang Zhiwei had heard her master describe it before and probably recognized it. She turned to look at Meng Qi and saw the doubts and worries in his eyes.
Suddenly, the sun in the sky burst out with dazzling light, as if it had fallen directly nearby. It pierced the eyes of the Qin sisters, Ruan Yushu, and Zhao Heng, and they were all covered in white.
Meng Qi held the handle of the knife with his right hand, turned around slowly, and looked into the distance: "Come out."
He didn't take action, but announced his coming like this, and he must have a plan.
Bai Mang parted, and a figure stepped out. He was Xi, wearing the mask of the "Sun God Lord"!
Jiang Zhiwei put the five fingers of his right hand on the hilt of the sword, holding hands with Meng Qi, watching Xi stop not far away.
"Are you here to take revenge?" Meng Qi said calmly.
I ruined his "perfect" reincarnation plan!
Xi wore a mask and said in a dull voice: "Hate is no match for the benefits, because the hatred has passed, no amount of revenge will help, and the benefits are expected to be obtained in the future."
"Tell me the important point." Meng Qi's body seemed to be relaxed but not relaxed.
This person is currently the reincarnation of a powerful person. His knowledge and experience far exceed his own, and his martial arts skills are quite extraordinary. He cannot be taken lightly.
Xi's tone remained unchanged and said: "You used the Yin-Yang Seal last time. I'm afraid it was the Void Seal that imprisoned the Roshan Demon General and escaped before. It was either the Yuanshi Tianzun of the Immortal Traces, or a destined person who has inherited the inheritance of the Yuanshi Tianzun. I just want to ask , Where is the Wuji Seal? In your hands, or somewhere else? In return, I can answer your equivalent questions."
"I barely activated the Sun God Needle and isolated this place so that it would not be known by the currently weak Six Paths."
Weak six paths? weak? Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei shrank their eyes at the same time.
