Chapter 172: Swords Enter the Capital and the Storms Rise

Peishui, the long river on which the capital city depends for survival, is full of rolling water and overlapping sails, which is very lively.

Meng Qi and his party are standing on the bank of Peishui at this time, looking at the rows of markets on the opposite bank and the city gate in the distance.

"I haven't seen it for nine years, and the prosperity of the capital city seems just like yesterday." Lu Guan sighed with emotion.

"If the Western Tartars go south, such a prosperous scene will no longer exist. Please take care of your health for the people and the world." Taoist Tiger said sincerely.

He glanced at Meng Qi and sighed, "Meng Xiaoyou, although I don't know your origins, this matter is entirely due to your help and Miss Ruan. People in the world are afraid of the power of spies and the masters around him, but you are the only ones who put righteousness first. Although I can't speak for the people of the world, I can thank you on my own behalf."

Lu Guan nodded gently: "Heroes are born young. I will remember the kindness of the two young friends in my heart and hope to repay them in the future."

"We are for justice, not for personal favor. If General Lu can repel the Western Tartars, it will be the best reward for us." Meng Qi still looked like a cold swordsman.

Lu Guan nodded seriously: "Expelling the Western Tartars and eliminating future troubles is Lu's lifelong ambition."

With the capital in sight, he felt proud and stressed. After getting on the boat, he remained silent, watching the rushing river and the crowds on the shore.

"Yuexi is like heaven and earth compared to the capital." Lu Zhongqi was obviously relaxed. After crossing the Peishui River and reaching the other side, he could find the post station and take out the imperial edict. By then, the danger would be over.

So he was in a good mood to appreciate the banks of the Peishui River and the outer perimeter of the capital.

Taoist Hu laughed and said, "I don't feel anything about this, but I miss the top scholar red in Desheng Tower very much. Tsk, just thinking about it, the wine bug in my stomach starts to roll."

All the way here, he actually resisted drinking because he was afraid of delaying things.

Meng Qi felt the river breeze and nodded slightly. The capital here is indeed larger and more prosperous than Xuanwu, but there are obviously fewer heroes with swords and swords, and scholars and ladies stroll under the willows on both sides.

A building ship went down the river and passed in front of the ferry with five people. The shadow covered it, as if the sky was dark.

Suddenly, a figure rushed over from the building ship, and the figure was very fast, and there was almost a residual image left.

His sleeves spread out, fluttering in the wind, like a hawk catching a rabbit, forming a perfect whole with the rolling river, the slowly descending building ship, and the shadow between the two ships. No matter the angle or posture, it is extremely harmonious, as if he brought a palm to the surrounding world, making Meng Qi feel rejected by the building ship, the river, and the shadow, as if the world is so big that there is no place for him.

This is an inexhaustible sense. Meng Qi seems to be challenging the world alone. His momentum is weakened and he dares not move rashly. It seems that a single hair can move the whole body.

Qi Qi clashes with each other, and the mind fights. Meng Qi has a deeper understanding of these eight words at this moment. It is not only about various psychological techniques, the creation of atmosphere and momentum, but also a little understanding of the world and the way of nature.

This may be the only way to become an exterior scene... Meng Qi suddenly realized something.

The attacker slapped down with a palm, and it seemed that there was no force. It was empty and became bigger and bigger, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Clang!

Meng Qi drew his Bingque sword and attacked directly. If he retreated, he would be completely at a disadvantage under the entanglement and pressure of the qi, and it would be difficult to turn the tide.

The long sword pointed diagonally, and the tip of the sword trembled, covering the flaws of the attacker.

As soon as the sword light rose, the attacker stagnated slightly in mid-air, and the palm method changed, and the flaws disappeared first, becoming a trap to lure Meng Qi's long sword into the net.

Meng Qi shook his wrist, raised the long sword, and pointed it at the throat of the attacker.

As soon as the long sword changed, the opponent took the lead again, and crossed his palms, hot and cold, swirling, and tilted the long sword.

Immortal Seal!

Meng Qi instantly understood the identity of the opponent, and also understood why his Dugu Nine Swords had no effect for two consecutive moves!

The Immortal Seal is good at detecting the enemy with true qi and spirit. Before his sword method was used, he had already seen something from muscle reactions, so he could naturally change first and set a trap!

Meng Qi took a deep breath, and the long sword swirled, slashing out crookedly, constantly changing, as if there was no end.

With a ping, Meng Qi's long sword finally touched the opponent's palm, which was first masculine and fierce, and then feminine, as if to pull Meng Qi over, making him feel uncomfortable and want to vomit blood.

However, Meng Qi had expected this, as if he had reached a new level in Dugu Nine Swords, anticipating the enemy's moves, and the long sword turned along the trend, taking advantage of the alternation of yang and yin, and slashed horizontally, as if to cut into the air.

But just as the long sword changed, the opponent's palms also changed, just located here, as if they came to the door on their own!

This time, even if he could detect Meng Qi's sword changes in advance, he couldn't avoid it in time!

Suddenly, the attacker stretched out his right palm, and sent out circles of air rings, "wrapping" the tip of Meng Qi's sword.

Meng Qi felt that he was not affected by the force, and it seemed that the opponent's artistic conception was true, and his long sword was crooked.

He hadn't even started the Qi-breaking style yet!

Meng Qi used to wield the sword with his right hand, but now he stretched out his left hand and pulled out a long black sword. Unlike other people's unworldly moves, he chopped it out with a strong sense of worldly affairs.

The sword light shone, and flashes of lightning flashed, illuminating the shadows, and instantly broke the harmony between man and nature.

Splitting mountains to open roads, filling the sea to create land, is the way to survive in the secular world, and is the way of worldly affairs with all kinds of desires!

The other party was startled, and the aura circle collapsed by itself, his eyes were slightly red, as if he thought of his own imperial ambitions and the dominance of the Demon Sect.

When the knife flashed, he suddenly woke up and spun in the air like an inhuman being. The knife force entered his body, and he disappeared like a mud cow entering the sea.

He pressed the tip of the knife with one hand, and the whole person flew back.

The building ship passed the small ferry, the shadow disappeared, and the sun shone again, bright and brilliant. The suffocating battle before seemed like a dream.

Meng Qi turned his head to look at the building ship, and happened to see a middle-aged scholar in a Confucian robe and a wide band looking at him with his hands behind his back at the railing. When their eyes met, there seemed to be electric sparks jumping.

Evil Lord Guan Ying... Meng Qi put his sword back into the sheath, cold and indifferent.

Shocking God Sword Xiao Meng... Guan Ying's temples were slightly gray, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, which was indescribably elegant.

The two boats were getting farther and farther away, and Meng Qi suddenly chanted:

"The emperor's ambition and hegemony are talked and laughed, but it is not as good as a drunken life."

Guan Ying's eyes changed slightly, and he looked at the river in the distance with his hands behind his back, and his figure gradually disappeared where the sails overlapped.

"Life is too drunk to be defeated. Good, good! I like this poem!" Taoist Tiger laughed loudly. He didn't expect Xiao Meng to have such talent and broad mind.

The fight between Meng Qi and Xie Jun just now was fleeting. Except for Ruan Yushu, no one else noticed it. They thought that the grand scene of the capital made Xiao Meng, who was always indifferent, feel poetic.

Meng Qi smiled, covered his mouth with his right hand, coughed lightly, and looked quietly. There was a dark red inside.

Under the Immortal Seal just now, his true energy was involved and agitated, and he suffered some internal injuries. Of course, because the Golden Bell Cover had transformed the meridians and internal organs to be quite strong, the injury had basically no effect. If it were someone else, he would probably have to rest for a while before he could recover.

However, Xie Jun was not intact!

Meng Qi pulled out the Xie Jie and saw that there was a trace of blood on the tip of its knife, which was slightly charred under the lightning.

One knife for one palm, a draw! Meng Qi suddenly felt proud and inspired by the Immortal Seal, and suddenly he had some understanding of the essence of the Heavenly Sword.

To be in harmony with the natural world, one must feel the corresponding way. The Immortal Seal is the complement and harmony of the true qi and the spirit, which can produce some external magic. Only when the ancestral orifice between the eyebrows is slightly completed, the mind is elevated, and the primordial spirit is strong, can one sense the heaven and earth and reach the realm of subtlety.

Along the way, Meng Qi listened to their discussion and roughly understood the general division of realms: ordinary, internal master, earth realm, heaven realm, subtlety, and enlightenment.

Therefore, his own illusion method can extract the essence and help the Heavenly Sword practice.

Ruan Yushu seemed to feel the pride in Meng Qi's heart, and gently stroked the guqin, the music sounded heroic and the realm was profound.

The ferry arrived at the shore, and the five people stepped onto the dock and went to the post station.

Under the arrangement of the post station officials, iron cavalry soon escorted Lu Guan, Meng Qi and others to Beijing.

Not long after, the group arrived outside the city. Meng Qi looked up at the tall city gate, and watched the door opening slowly unfold like a scroll. He thought to himself, Demon Queen, State Master, Evil King, Ghost King... Here I come!

"Successfully escorted Lu Guan to Beijing, the main line task one is completed, and each person is rewarded with 200 good deeds. After settling down, go to Xiaoxiang Tower, meet up with Luo Shengyi and his party, and start the main line task two."

The grand and solemn voice of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation sounded in the hearts of Meng Qi and Ruan Yushu.

…………

In an elegant mansion, an old man with a very good appearance looked at the person in front of him with a little surprise: "Lu Guan came to Beijing alive?"

"Please forgive me, my subordinates really didn't expect that Lu Guan had a master who was no less than the Ghost King." The person in front of him sweated coldly on his forehead.

"Which master is it? Didn't you say that the Evil King also took action?" The old man calmed down.

The person who reported shook his head: "I don't know where the evil king is. The master is very young and is called 'Shocking God Sword' Xiao Meng."

"Xiao Meng..." The old man repeated the name.

In the courtyard filled with the fragrance of flowers, a graceful woman in a veil suddenly stood up: "Lu Guan is not dead?"

"Yes, it is rumored that the evil king personally took action, but Lu Guan is still alive because there is a very strong master beside him, who is said to be 'Shocking God Sword' Xiao Meng." The woman who reported was a little scared and a little disdainful when talking about the evil king.

"Humph, isn't he known as the best immortal seal in the world... 'Shocking God Sword' Xiao Meng, who is he..." The veiled woman paced back and forth.

In the star-gazing tower, a white-haired old man looked at the star plate in front of him, frowned and said to his disciples: "Lu Guan was obviously going to die, why did a meteor pass by and change the trace?"

"Disciple doesn't know." His disciples couldn't understand it at all.

The white-haired old man whispered to himself: "Shocking God Sword Xiao Meng..."
