Chapter 494 An unexpected event
"I don't know what the senior in front of me is blocking the road for. I am Jiang Shiqiu, a poor Taoist from Lanzhou Lianshui Zong. I pay my respects to the senior."
The white-haired old man dressed as Wei Lao was stunned, turned his head and bowed to the front, his face respectful and his tone gentle.
In the desolate desert, the sun was blazing in the sky, and the heat waves were rolling. In front of the old man and the young man, a figure stood quietly, just in front of the two people, watching them quietly.
This person appeared very suddenly, silently, and even his breath was ethereal and difficult to detect.
This person had a calm face and squinted his eyes slightly. He looked middle-aged, tall and straight, wearing a moon-white robe fluttering in the wind, as if he was integrated with the surrounding world. The wind and sand were flying around him, but not a single dust fell on him, but was automatically separated.
His face is square, with clear contours, sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples, eyes shining like cold stars, and his eyes are deep and sharp. With just one glance, he seems to be able to see through the vanity of all things in the world.
His nose is high, his lips are flat and red, and his long hair is tied up casually. A few strands of hair flutter in the wind, adding a bit of free and easy meaning.
The most eye-catching thing is the faint crescent-shaped mark on his forehead, which seems to contain mysterious power, with a vague generation of Taoism, and his skin exudes a faint light.
Standing with his hands behind his back, the occasional breath flows out. Although it is a bit frivolous, it makes Wei Lao startled. Although he has not yet become a god, he has already reached the late stage of the Purple Mansion or even the peak state.
It is Meng Xiangrui, one of the two gods in Qingzhou who fought against the True Lord Xuexuan in the past, from the Holy Land!
But obviously, the one who came here at this moment is not his real body.
"Lianshui Zongjiang Shiqiu?"
Time seemed to stand still, and after a short pause, Meng Xiangrui stepped forward lightly, and his voice, with a vague meaning, fell gently into the ears of the two.
Old Wei was startled, and his vigilance became even stronger, but the respect on his face became even stronger. He bowed his head again and said gently:
"That's right."
"Oh." Meng Xiangrui spoke calmly, glanced at the two, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes flickered as if he was a little uncertain, and continued to ask lightly:
"Since you are from Lanzhou, why did you go to Wuzhou with so much trouble? You don't take the official road, but walk in this remote desert, and you are willing to work hard. It's really not easy."
Old Wei smiled bitterly, lowered his eyebrows and clasped his fists and said:
"Junior usually loves to travel around the mountains and rivers, and can't be idle, this I just accepted a disciple, so I took him out to travel around, which is better than just practicing hard in seclusion. "
"As for why we went to the Yunbo Desert..."
Old Wei pondered, paused slightly, and smiled bitterly with a hint of helplessness, saying:
"This is something I didn't expect. I didn't know that Wuzhou was suddenly in a war, and there was unrest everywhere. With my cultivation level, I was naturally afraid of being affected. So I had no choice but to go to the desert. For the sake of safety, I just want to return to the sect as soon as possible."
Old Wei sighed and shook his head.
Yu Changsheng, who was standing beside him, also nodded in approval and followed behind Old Wei. He didn't say anything, but he was very alert in his heart.
"It stands to reason that... with the Black Turtle's breath concealment method, even if it is a spirit transformation, it is difficult to detect our disguise. Although I don't know how Meng Xiangrui caught up, he should not have recognized me."
"Plus the conversations that Master and I had deliberately conducted after discovering his traces..."
"And if he really wants to fight to the death... then..."
Yu Changsheng muttered to himself, feeling helpless. Along the way, the two of them had been very vigilant, leaving no traces everywhere, sneaking quietly, but they didn't expect that they would be encountered by Meng Xiangrui even in the Yunbo Desert.
After Wei Lao finished speaking, the air suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing. Only the whistling wind and sand were slowly flying. Meng Xiangrui still stood in front of the two of them, looking at them quietly, without saying a word.
Seeing this, Elder Wei exhaled lightly, stepped forward and clasped his fists, and said in a gentle tone:
"If you are fine, we will leave now. It is fate that we met. If you have the opportunity in the future, if you come to Lianshui Sect, I will definitely entertain you. My master is Master Jiang Ping, who likes to make friends the most in his life. You may know him."
After saying that, Elder Wei lowered his eyebrows, took Yu Changsheng's hand, and walked past Meng Xiangrui. The three of them passed by.
Meng Xiangrui frowned all the time, looking at the backs of Wei Lao and Yu Changsheng, his eyes were disillusioned, a little uncertain, hesitant and worried, but when Wei Lao led Yu Changsheng and passed by him, he suddenly turned around and said:
"Yu Changsheng!"
The air seemed to be quiet, Wei Lao and Yu Changsheng were stable, only Wei Lao turned his head and looked at Meng Xiangrui with a little doubt, wondering:
"What are you talking about, senior? But Yu Changsheng, who was wanted by the emperor of Qingzhou?"
The tone was natural, the expression was normal, and the words were flawless, without any abnormality.
Seeing this, Meng Xiangrui was silent for a while, shook his head slowly, waved to the two, and said lightly:
"It's okay, I thought too much. You go."
"Now that Wuzhou is in turmoil, it's good to go back early. After returning, if there is a chance, let me say hello to your master, Lianshui Zhenzun Liao Qing, and tell him that if he wants Lianshui Sect to be stable, he will come to Wuzhou on his own initiative. I, Meng Xiangrui, will be waiting for him."
After these words came out, Wei Lao paused, bowed first, and then his expression became more suspicious, but he still remained gentle and said:
"Senior, do you still know my master? However, who is Liao Qing? My master, Lianshui Zhenzun, should be Chen Qing."
The words were neither humble nor arrogant. Meng Xiangrui frowned immediately after he said this. After taking a deep look at the two of them, he waved his sleeves again and said lightly:
"Oh, yes, it's Chen Qing. I remembered it wrong. You can go now."
The status of Lianshui Sect in Lanzhou is equivalent to that of Sanmen in Wuzhou. It is the top sect in Lanzhou. There are more than one Huashen Zhenzun in the sect.
Lianshui Zhenzun is the Huashen in the sect. Lianshui is just a title of inheritance. When the cultivation reaches Huashen, it can be inherited. Naturally, the real name of each generation of Lianshui Zhenzun is not easy to know to outsiders. It is a kind of secret.
Even though Meng Xiangrui was also a god, he was eyeing Lanzhou and was determined to win it, but in the short term, he did not want to fight to the death with the other party, and wanted to maintain peace for a while.
Therefore, he was hesitant and tried to test it again and again.
After all, Lianshui Zhenzun was famous for protecting his children, and as Wei Lao said, his master Jiang Ping was the youngest and most beloved disciple of Lianshui Zhenzun. With this relationship, even Meng Xiangrui did not want to offend him easily.
In fact, these things were all thought out by Wei Lao a long time ago, including the choice of identity after disguise, which was deeply considered.
Jiang Shiqiu, whom he disguised as, did exist and was indeed Jiang Ping's apprentice.
It can be said that Wei Lao's behavior was flawless.
After the two tests were resolved, Wei Lao and Yu Changsheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After each of them bowed their heads, they flew away without saying a word.
Meng Xiangrui looked at the backs of the two people, his eyes flickering, uncertain, until the two figures were about to disappear from his sight, suddenly pursed his lips, bit his fingertips, a trace of blood spilled out, and then used the blood to gently wipe the crescent mark on his forehead.
In an instant, the crescent mark flickered slightly, with a trace of blood. Meng Xiangrui's body shook, his face turned pale, a little weak, but he suddenly exhaled a breath of white air, and his gestures changed quickly, pressing the crescent mark on his forehead again.
"Blood soul guides, mind is the mark, trace the source, cause and effect follow!"
After Meng Xiangrui said this, his face became paler, his breathing became rapid, and he opened his mouth and spurted out another mouthful of blood, and the crescent mark on his forehead suddenly flickered, with the blood on Meng Xiangrui's finger as a line, after several twists, the red line crossed the void and spread towards the direction of Yu Changsheng.
In an instant, Meng Xiangrui's eyes suddenly sank, and he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He took a step forward, and the space changed in an instant. He came to the front of Yu Changsheng and Wei Lao who were going away again. His face was gloomy as if water was about to drip out, and he slammed out with a palm in an instant!
"Yu Changsheng! I was almost fooled by you!"
Meng Xiangrui sneered, and his angry voice was like thunder rumbling in the void, echoing in the desert, rolling up countless flying sands, and a terrifying breath suddenly erupted. The momentum of the peak of the Purple Mansion rose to the sky, and descended on the desert like a pillar of heaven. He pushed out with one hand, and the void roared in an instant. From the void, a pair of golden giant hands emerged and pinched Wei Lao and Yu Changsheng fiercely!
Boom!
The sun was blazing, but as Meng Xiangrui made his move, the sky suddenly darkened, thick dark clouds gathered, covering the sun, and layers of storms swept in, rolling up the wind and sand, covering the sky and the earth, and whistling to open the heat wave. Under the oppressive atmosphere, Meng Xiangrui's figure came from the sky, and the pressure of the peak of the Purple Mansion broke out in waves!
"Damn it!"
Wei Lao's face sank instantly, and he cursed. Although he was puzzled, he looked at the golden giant palm falling from the sky. The next moment, a magnificent sword light rose from the sky beside him, stirring up the wind and clouds, and slashed at the Lingtian giant hand fiercely!
Kacha! !
The sword light was magnificent, and the giant palm trembled. After resisting for a while, it collapsed. Wei Lao turned his head, and the person who drew the sword was Yu Changsheng. At this moment, he no longer concealed it. The Purple Spirit Emperor Sword in his hand rang lightly, and the sword body trembled slightly. The amazing sword intent was brewing and bursting.
"Master, you go first. I'll be back soon after I finish him off."
Yu Changsheng's face was slightly tense. He shook his shoulders, handed the black tortoise to Old Wei, and squinted at Meng Xiangrui across from him. His expression changed and his true face was no longer hidden.
"But... now the black tortoise can't take action, you..."
Old Wei hesitated, and was stunned when he heard the words. He looked at Yu Changsheng worriedly, and then looked at Meng Xiangrui who was staring at him, pursing his lips and looking ugly.
"It's okay. It's just a clone. It can't pose a threat to me. Master, you hurry up and leave first. We will meet at the place we agreed before. I will go there immediately after I kill him.
Time is running out. If nothing unexpected happens, the real body of this old man should be on the way."
Yu Changsheng growled, turned his head and gave Wei Lao a reassuring look. The Purple Spirit Emperor Sword in his hand trembled slightly, and the purple light in the sky instantly enveloped the entire desert. The aura of Yu Changsheng's middle-stage Purple Mansion also rose up and turned into the second single pillar in the desert, confronting Meng Xiangrui.
"Don't worry. It's just a Purple Mansion. It's not difficult to kill it."
After saying that, Yu Changsheng grinned and spoke in a relaxed tone.
Hearing this, Wei Lao let out a long breath, feeling relieved. He was not a hesitant person. After taking a deep look at Yu Changsheng, he nodded and said, "Be careful, don't fight hard."
After that, he looked at Meng Xiangrui, found a direction, and instantly burst out at a speed that was not as fast as the Purple Mansion, rushing towards the horizon.
In response, Meng Xiangrui just looked at him coldly, expressionless, and did not stop him. His target was Yu Changsheng.
In his eyes, Yu Changsheng was more important.
So, Meng Xiangrui sneered and said, "You are quite confident. Not bad. I haven't seen you for a while, but you have already reached the middle stage of the Purple Mansion."
"It's really terrifying. In this case, I can't let you leave. Today, you must die!"
"Humph, you talk too much nonsense."
Yu Changsheng snorted coldly, his face was cold, his body shook, and he burst out at an extremely fast speed. The Purple Spirit Emperor Sword in his hand swung, the sword energy burst out, and he slashed towards Meng Xiangrui fiercely with the sword!
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The extreme edge cut through the void, and the figures of the two collided thousands of times in an instant. Every collision caused the void to roar, and the amazing momentum was rising. So, the sky and the earth changed color, and the storm howled.
The yellow sand in the sky was rolled up to the sky, and the flying sand and rocks covered the area of 100 miles in a dense manner, blurring the sky. The sword energy was like a rainbow, and waves of shocking bursts were released. The power of magic and supernatural powers burst out, shaking the earth. Countless yellow sand was swept to the sky, and two blurred figures kept colliding in it. In a blink of an eye, they fought for thousands of rounds.
From the sky, to the ground, from the ground, to the sky, so that countless quicksand pits were shaken out in the desert, and countless sand and gravel flew, like a blade, cutting through the void, revealing an amazing edge.
"Evil Fire Purgatory!"
Yu Changsheng frowned, and the Red Purgatory Dragon surrounded him. In the yellow sand storm, his body rose and fell, looming. Endless golden flames rose up, jumping on every grain of sand and spreading. As a result, the hundreds of miles of desert were swept by an endless sea of fire. The astonishing high temperature distorted the space. A purgatory scene rolled towards Meng Xiangrui in a riot.
Meng Xiangrui sneered, his face looked very calm, and waved his sleeves. Layers of ice crystals fell from the sky, like needles, fighting against the desert fire. (End of this chapter)
