Chapter 13 Helping Hands

As soon as he finished speaking, the blood on the ground squirmed again, and several words changed:

"Qi Xia rescued Ding Changsheng from the sea of ​​suffering controlled by the Heart-Robbing Pill, completed one of the side tasks, and was rewarded with ten good deeds."

Forehead? Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei were stunned again. They did not expect that the results of other people's side tasks would appear in front of them.

"Huh, Sister Qi is indeed smarter than me." Jiang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a bit of self-deprecation in her joy.

After saying that, she smiled brightly and said with great joy: "Senior Brother Zhang, Qing Jing and others will probably see the reminder that we have completed the mission. There is no need to worry about them being attacked by Hero Ma and Hero Tan."

"Not necessarily. Maybe only those who have completed one of the side tasks can see the prompt, otherwise it will be easy for others to complete this side task." Meng Qi frowned and said, not believing that the "Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation" would be so kind. , although Cheng Yong and other heroes have great martial arts skills, according to my current relatively shallow perspective, they should still be inferior to Jiang Zhiwei, Zhang Yuanshan and others. Even Qi Xia can kill Ding Changsheng.

Therefore, if they had known in advance that they were controlled by the "Heart-stealing Pill", even if Zhang Yuanshan and Qingjing acted separately, nothing would happen.

Jiang Zhiwei thought for a while and felt that the "Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation" could not be treated as a good person, so she nodded and said: "Let's meet up with Sister Qi first, and then rush to the central location. Pay attention to the task completion prompts on the way."

"Eh." As she spoke, she suddenly let out a sigh, "Since Cheng Yong and the other four heroes have been controlled by the 'Heart-stealing Pill', why did the Lord of the Yinhuang Castle 'lock' them in the secret room? It's not possible. Maybe he knew in advance that we were coming to complete the mission, so he set a trap? "

After being reminded by Jiang Zhiwei, Meng Qi also noticed something was wrong and blurted out: "Unless the target of the trap is not us!"

Jiang Zhi pursed her lips, which were white from the injury: "That should be the case."

She paused and said: "When I first accepted the mission, I was a little confused as to why the four Ma Daxia would force their way into the Hidden Emperor Castle when they were alone, instead of looking for other helpers to act together. There were so many people. We should not be the only ones to understand the principle of power.”

"It seems that time is running out, and they must first stop a certain plan of the Lord of the Yinhuang Castle, which may be the strange things happening in the central hall, so they came first and left a letter to inform their friends for backup, so maybe, A large number of masters will arrive soon, and the target of the trap is them." Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei speculated on the truth of the matter.

"No matter what, we have to complete the mission." Jiang Zhiwei shook her head and supported Shimen to stand up with difficulty.

"Miss Jiang, how are you injured?" Meng Qi asked with concern. Although he had just killed the master Cheng Yong, he was very self-aware and not arrogant at all. He understood that without Jiang Zhiwei's care, two men in black would come People can kill themselves, of course, this also involves the friendship of two people fighting side by side and experiencing life and death together.

Jiang Zhiwei seemed to have given up on refuting "Miss Jiang" and lucked out. On her pretty face, she said with a half-annoyed and half-wry smile: "The upper body is fine. The lifting of the Qi and the sword are only slightly weakened, but the lower body is sore and soft, not to mention lifting." He is running wildly, climbing over walls, and even walking normally is difficult. He needs to take pills and rest for a period of time to recover. "

In the lightning flash of Cheng Yong's sneak attack, she showed her perseverance and decisiveness. Instead of passively defending, she returned the palm with a sword, regardless of life or death, forcing Cheng Yong to withdraw most of his palm strength to avoid the blow that penetrated his chest. Sword, therefore, her injuries were much lighter than Meng Qi expected. She still had the strength to fight with a sword, but she only injured her lower abdomen and had difficulty walking.

"Miss Jiang, why don't you let me carry you on my back and use your legs for now?" Meng Qi put his life first and made this suggestion after a moment's thought.

Jiang Zhi slightly let out a sigh, then bit her lips with her fine and neat teeth: "Little monk, I accept your kindness."

Her choice of words and sentences was like that of an open-minded and righteous hero, but there were two suspicious blushes on her cheeks.

Meng Qi was born in a modern society, and his views are naturally not very conservative. He joked with a smile: "Miss Jiang, children of Jianghu, don't stick to trivial matters."

As he spoke, he walked up to Jiang Zhiwei, turned the sword upside down and handed it to her hand.

"Don't I understand this?" Jiang Zhi raised her head slightly and looked up at the stone wall above. Her long and fair neck seemed to be stained with a thin layer of red.

Meng Qi turned around and squatted on the ground. He heard the skirt of his clothes rustling a few times, and then felt a body that was much lighter than expected approaching him.

He held Jiang Zhiwei's legs, stood up slowly in silence, and suddenly laughed: "It's much lighter than the bucket I can carry."

"Pfft." Jiang Zhi laughed slightly, "Did you pick an iron bucket?"

She was amused by Meng Qi's move, and the awkward atmosphere suddenly disappeared.

"The choice of a wooden barrel cannot be compared with the carrying capacity." Meng Qi answered honestly.

Jiang Zhiwei said in a long tone: "That's right... To be honest, I feel very sorry for suppressing a kid like you."

As she spoke, she danced her sword to adapt to the current situation.

The long sword was holding the flower, and the light and shadow were flowing. Meng Qi watched intently. He wanted to see the mystery, but Jiang Zhiwei didn't stop him. He just let Meng Qi watch freely. Anyway, he had no intention and could only get the shape.

If not, the swordsmanship of Xijian Pavilion would have been secretly learned by others during the fight.

"Well, I can probably exert fifty-six percent of my strength, which is enough to give it a try." After Jiang Zhiwei got used to it, he made an assessment.

Suddenly, she patted Meng Qi on the shoulder and lowered her voice: "Be careful, someone is coming."

Meng Qi was quite stunned. After a few breaths, he heard the sound of footsteps and someone's voice: "Three to the left, four to the right, don't make a mistake."

It seems that even if the "ear aperture" has not been opened, if you practice the mind method and enter the Qi accumulation stage, your ear power will improve greatly... Meng Qi secretly speculated.

"Block the door." Jiang Zhiwei whispered.

Meng Qi did not hesitate, stepped forward and stood next to the stone gate, immediately blocking the group of people in the poisonous gas tunnel, unable to advance or retreat.

There were seven or eight of them, all dressed lightly. The leader was a middle-aged Confucian scholar. He held a hidden weapon in his left hand and said, "Why are you two boys blocking the road? Have you ever seen Brother Cheng Yongcheng?"

At this time, a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks saw Cheng Yong's body through the gap, and cried out: "Master Ge, they killed Master Cheng! I recognize those boots!"

Jiang Zhiwei's clear voice was slightly deep and authentic: "Seniors and juniors Jiang Zhiwei, Master and others are here to help Hero Ma."

Her appearance is consistent with her age, she is in her early sixteen years, facing a group of martial arts people whose youngest is thirty years old and is going up, she feels no pressure to call her senior.

The leader, Master Ge, didn't seem to be a reckless person. He raised his hand to stop the person behind him from using the hidden weapon, and signaled Jiang Zhiwei to continue explaining.

"After entering Yinhuang Castle, we captured the prisoners and learned that Ma Daxia and others were trapped in various places in the castle, so Master asked us to rescue people separately, and we rushed to the location of the owner of Yinhuang Castle first. "

"I arrived here, opened the stone door, and found Master Cheng. Unexpectedly, Master Cheng was controlled by the Heart-stealing Pill. He secretly attacked me and seriously injured me. Master Cheng was also seriously injured by my counterattack. He was killed by the real person when he fought back. I will kill my junior brother."

Jiang Zhiwei told half truth and half lies what happened and the origins of herself and others.

"How is that possible?" the man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said in disbelief, "Little girl, you are so young, even if you started practicing martial arts from your mother's womb, you still can't defeat Master Cheng!"

He secretly regretted that this beautiful little girl was so good at lying.

Jiang Zhiwei didn't say a word, straightened her back, and thrust out the sword like electricity, then retracted it inexplicably.

"What are you doing?" The man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks shouted in surprise and confusion.

Master Ge lowered his right hand to signal him to be quiet, and then cupped his hands and said: "A hero comes from a young boy. Miss Jiang, your swordsmanship is enough to be praised by everyone. Hey, the waves behind push the waves ahead. Seeing you and other talented friends, I I feel so old, I don’t know what to call my master?”

"My master, Su Wuming, has lived in seclusion for many years. I am afraid that Master Ge has never heard of it. Well, my master had a nickname in the past called 'The Divine Sword of Heaven'. Has Master Ge heard of it?" Meng Qi clearly heard that Jiang Zhiwei was hiding. With a smile, she immediately understood that she was the real master, but this group of people must have never heard of him.

Although his back was to Jiang Zhiwei, Meng Qi seemed to be able to imagine the narrow smile on her face.

Su Wuming... Hey, I think I heard Master Xuanxin mention it? Meng Qi's heart moved.

"Ge is really ignorant and has never seen the heroic figure of his predecessor. I will ask Miss Jiang to introduce him later." Seeing Jiang Zhiwei's seriousness, the owner of Gezhuang temporarily put down his doubts and decided to wait and test again. Then, he reported to the mountain gate, "Ge A certain person is Ge Chongshan, the owner of Luoyan Villa. He received letters from his friends Ma Lianghan, Cheng Yong and others, and invited experts to come and help. Unfortunately, he was a day late and could not meet up with them. He also asked two friends to give way and let me wait. See my friend for the last time.”

Jiang Zhiwei said in Meng Qi's ear: "Let them come in, but only one by one."

Meng Qi turned sideways and got out of the way, while looking at the other party warily. When Ge Chongshan and others entered the secret room and inspected Cheng Yong's body, he lowered his voice and said to Jiang Zhiwei: "I understand, the side mission is to delay us. Only in this way will we wait for help. If we go directly to the central hall, we may have already fought against the castle master and will be alone. "

"The trap should be aimed at them." Jiang Zhiwei answered in the same soft voice.

After Ge Chongshan inspected the body and confirmed that the wounds were consistent with Jiang Zhiwei's description, he sighed and said, "If the two little friends hadn't opened this stone door first, maybe I would have been seriously injured or even died."

As soon as he finished speaking, he and Jiang Zhiwei turned to look outside the stone house at the same time. They saw Qi Xia and a group of people dressed as knights coming out of another secret door.

"Sister Qi, are you okay?" Jiang Zhiwei greeted happily.

"Brother Liu, where is your brother?" Ge Chongshan asked the man walking side by side with Qi Xia.

The man had dark skin and was dressed as a fisherman. He said sadly: "My brother was killed by Ding Changsheng!"

"What?" Ge Chongshan and others suddenly lost their voices.

Qi Xia said with a hint of fear: "Sister Zhiwei, I didn't expect that Daxia Ding has been controlled by the Heart-Robbing Pill. If Daxia Liu hadn't gone in first, I might not have been able to survive. I was worried about you just now..."

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Jiang Zhiwei's face was pale but her breathing was normal.

After reuniting, everyone rushed towards the central hall, with only a few men in black blocking them along the way, and they were easily dismissed.

During this process, Jiang Zhiwei and Meng Qi had been skillfully cooperating with each other. In the end, as long as she said "Left three, right four, back two" and other words, Meng Qi could quickly complete the corresponding steps - these The words should be kept as simple and vague as possible so that only each other can understand them, to prevent the enemy from changing in advance like Cheng Yong did.

"It's a pity that you don't understand the Bagua position. Our cooperation can only be so simple..." Jiang Zhiwei said to Meng Qi with a sigh.

She had previously suggested using the Eight Diagrams to indicate the direction, so that there would be no need to stick to going straight up and down or diagonally in and out. Unfortunately, Meng Qi did not have a deep understanding of the Eight Diagrams and could not learn it in a short period of time.

"It's better than nothing." Meng Qi comforted.

Jiang Zhiwei looked up at the stone house, and then looked at Ge Chongshan and others who were exploring the way forward, and said a little worriedly: "This is the meeting place we agreed to meet. Why haven't Senior Brother Zhang and others arrived yet? There was no prompt for the completion of the task along the way."

From Qi Xia's mouth, she and Meng Qi confirmed that only those who have completed a branch task can see the corresponding prompt.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Zhang is a strong martial artist, nothing will happen." Qi Xia comforted her worriedly.

Pah!

Something flew in from outside the house, and Jiang Zhiwei stretched out his long sword and tapped it to the ground.

"Ah!" Jiang Zhiwei and Qi Xia saw the thing clearly and immediately screamed out of control. Meng Qi was also very shocked and uneasy.

On the gray stone ground, Qing Jing looked at everyone with angry eyebrows and wide eyes, but only his head was left!
