Chapter 41 The Yellow Bird Is Behind
After searching the stone chamber carefully with the fire stick, Meng Qi found nothing else, but he was satisfied. It was a great thing to be able to inherit the true meaning of a scene-level sword technique and comprehend the incomplete form of the first sword!
On the way back, Meng Qi was hesitating whether to share this discovery with Jiang Zhiwei, Zhang Yuanshan and others. Logically speaking, in similar situations, everyone would choose to keep the secret and use the sword technique as the last means of survival. This is understandable, and Jiang Zhiwei and others can certainly understand it, but in the future everyone will have to work together to complete the reincarnation mission. This approach does not help deepen the friendship between each other, and what he obtained is the true meaning of the inheritance, and they can't snatch it away even if they want to. After all, he can only repeat the incomplete form of the first sword now.
However, if one of them betrays in the future, all his martial arts will be clearly known to the enemy, and there is no trump card at all.
"Brother Zhending, have you found any enemies?" Qi Zhengyan, who had been silent for a long time, asked when he saw Meng Qi return. Zhang Yuanshan and Jiang Zhiwei still closed their eyes and adjusted their breathing, and seemed to have no interest in this.
Meng Qi pondered for a moment and made a decision: "There are no enemies, but there are the remnants of the first knife of 'Ananda Breaking the Vows Sword Technique' on the mountain wall."
He decided to conceal the true meaning of the inheritance and be honest about the sword technique he obtained. With this trusting attitude, he would exchange the trust of Jiang Zhiwei, Zhang Yuanshan, and Qi Zhengyan, and lay a good foundation for cooperation for future reincarnation missions.
"Ananda Breaking the Vows Sword Technique?" Jiang Zhiwei opened her eyes and spoke in astonishment. Obviously, her previous indifference was all pretended. She just followed her own habits and the rules of the rivers and lakes and did not ask others what they had obtained in their individual actions to avoid conflicts. As a result, Meng Qi's honesty shocked her.
Similarly, Zhang Yuanshan and Qi Zhengyan could not keep calm and looked at Meng Qi in surprise.
"Yes, but it's just the remnants of the first knife." Seeing their surprised looks, Meng Qi nodded secretly. This was the effect he wanted.
"It doesn't matter if it's incomplete. I remember there's an item called 'complete incomplete' on the exchange chart. The less incomplete it is, the less good deeds are needed. The lowest is probably less than 10% of the original." Jiang Zhiwei smiled and said, "Little monk, there's no need to tell us about this adventure. Everyone has their own secrets. I have them, and Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Brother Qi must have them too."
Can you complete the incomplete form? Meng Qi was immediately excited. The "Duan Qingjing" he had realized was very incomplete, and it probably wouldn't cost much good deeds!
This made him feel very good, and he smiled and said, "We have experienced life and death together, and we will have to join forces in the future. If I conceal the sword technique, it will be easy to miscalculate my strength when planning in the future. Anyway, it's just a incomplete form."
He explained from the perspectives of friendship and practical needs, with the focus on arousing everyone's recognition of "friendship".
"Little monk, it's really unnecessary. When planning in advance, you only need to say what level of enemy my strength can deal with. There is no need to tell all the specific trump cards." Jiang Zhi said with a smile. Although she thought it was unnecessary, Meng Qi's honesty still made her very happy. At least it proved that he really regarded her and others as friends in need.
Meng Qi was stunned for a moment: "I didn't expect it to be like this..."
Haha, Jiang Zhi smiled so hard that her body was shaking. Zhang Yuanshan couldn't help but smiled and shook his head: "Brother Zhending, it's fortunate that it's us. If there were people with ulterior motives, your Ananda's sword technique would not have played a surprising effect. You are still too young and have too little experience in the martial arts world."
His eyes were gentle and his smile was sincere. Obviously, he had more recognition of Meng Qi.
Qi Zhengyan had just talked about his mental journey in a rambling way, and nodded to Meng Qi who was honest: "Sometimes, if your companions know that you have a trump card, they will be less panicked and more calm, which will make the enemy alert and lose the effect of surprise. So as long as the purpose is good, we don't mind you hiding it appropriately."
He also explained why he had concealed the "Mother and Child Soul Dart" before.
After being open and honest, everyone seemed to have really become closer.
"Brother Qi, you really became nagging after you were injured." Meng Qi teased, and then changed the subject before Qi Zhengyan's face turned black, "In addition, there is a stone door embedded in the mountain wall, with "Loyalty, Kindness, Do Not Enter This Door" written on the left and right..."
He told all the other discoveries in detail to see if Zhang Yuanshan, Jiang Zhiwei and others had any clues.
…………
Duoercha looked down, looking at the traces left by the hurried departure in the forest, and snorted softly: "It's really a rookie."
Following the traces that Meng Qi and others had not had time to wipe off, Duoercha walked slowly forward and soon came to the vicinity of the red boulder.
"Huh?" He found that the traces disappeared here, so he looked around cautiously.
His body trembled and sweat dripped from his forehead, and he didn't look relaxed.
After confirming that there was no one, Duoercha frowned in confusion. They couldn't have the ability to fly and hide, so how could they disappear out of thin air?
Could it be that after discovering that there were traces left, they deliberately erased the clues.
Duoercha paced back and forth for a few steps, and observed along the nearby traces again, and found that one trace disappeared behind the red boulder, and another trace stopped in front of the cliff.
He thought quietly for a moment, walked behind the boulder expressionlessly, stretched out his right hand, and looked for the mechanism.
Similar situations can be concealed from others, but how can they be concealed from himself who has been in the martial arts world for many years?
Isn't it a secret passage?
The traces you left behind are too obvious. You don't look like the disciples of the famous and upright sects who are allowed to go down the mountain. Instead, you look like rookies in the martial arts world!
However, the strength of these rookies is too strong...
…………
"'Loyalty, kindness and benevolence, do not enter this door'... I have never heard of it." Zhang Yuanshan frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head.
As soon as the voice fell, a zazaza sound suddenly sounded. The four people looked in astonishment and saw Duoercha, whose face was covered with scars, standing quietly outside, waiting for the entrance of the secret passage to be fully opened.
"How could he find it!" Meng Qi was shocked.
Qi Zhengyan was shocked and said with regret and self-blame: "We forgot to deal with the traces..."
At that time, there were lightning and thunder, and the wind and clouds were surging. Meng Qi and he were in a panic to avoid it. They had no similar experience in the past, so they forgot to erase the traces for a while.
Hearing Qi Zhengyan's words, Meng Qi's heart slowly sank. Is this killing himself?
No, I can't give up!
Meng Qi rushed forward while the entrance was not fully opened, trying to twist the mechanism inside to close the entrance again, defending himself in danger, while carefully observing Duoercha, thinking about how to deal with him if he could not stop him.
"He lost his left hand, left arm, and left shoulder, his bones were exposed, and his whole body was trembling. He must have been seriously injured, and his strength was very little..." Meng Qi touched the mechanism with his right hand, and he had a preliminary judgment of Duoercha in his heart.
Duoercha gently waved his right hand, and a strong wind blew up, which actually blew Meng Qi, who was panicking and unsteady, back a few steps and failed to close the entrance.
Meng Qi felt pain in his chest and abdomen, and his breathing was choked. His mind was racing:
"Even if he has very little strength left, Senior Brother Qi and I cannot contend with him. What should we do?"
"My strongest martial arts skill is Ananda's sword technique, but it is incomplete!"
"Well, the incomplete style is only incomplete at the back, but complete at the front, which can form a complete sword intent before the move..."
"Pretend to scare him away?"
"Yes! He is seriously injured. When he encounters an opponent and moves he is not sure of, he will definitely choose to take shelter temporarily, and then the main task will be completed!"
In a short moment, a series of ideas flashed through Meng Qi's mind, and he quickly made a decision. He stood firmly on his feet, holding the sword in his right hand tightly.
The entrance was wide open, but Duoercha did not attack directly, and walked towards the mountain wall in silence.
His silent behavior put Meng Qi and others under great pressure. Jiang Zhiwei and Zhang Yuanshan stopped healing their wounds, barely stood up, and planned to fight to the death.
"You will die." Duoercha spoke majestically, raising his right fist.
Meng Qi recalled the incomplete form in his mind, and slowly extended his sword, with the sword intent about to burst out.
But at this moment, Duoercha suddenly flew backwards and hit a giant tree with his right fist.
In the strong wind, a silver bell-like laugh suddenly sounded, and a white figure rushed out from behind the tree, with a figure as ethereal as a fairy and a song, dodging the punch.
Crack, the giant tree broke into two pieces, leaning back, making a heavy sound.
And the white figure stopped not far away, but it was a stunning girl in a simple white dress.
"I was just slightly surprised when I saw the secret passage, but you found it." The girl said with a smile, "I was going to wait until you killed them before I took action."
Seeing this girl, Meng Qi blurted out in surprise: "Xiao Zi?"
The girl looked exactly like Xiao Zi!
Indeed, Xiao Zi could only be considered pretty before, but now she seems to have grown her eyebrows and eyes, and has a more lively and elusive temperament, which makes her look stunning, not inferior to Jiang Zhiwei.
"Xiao Zi? Don't mention that idiot." The girl's beautiful eyes moved, and she said with a smile, "I am Gu Xiaosang."
Gu Xiaosang? Meng Qi had heard Xiao Zi mention this name before, and it was particularly strange to mention it again when he saw her almost the same appearance.
While talking, Duoercha continued to attack, but there were no dark clouds and heavy rain, thunder and lightning, only howling winds.
Gu Xiaosang was not in a hurry, her clothes fluttered, as if dancing in the wind, and she could still find time to talk to Meng Qi.
"Gu Xiaosang, it's her." Zhang Yuanshan whispered solemnly, Jiang Zhiwei also pursed her lips, and Qi Zhengyan subconsciously took a step back.
Gu Xiaosang seemed to be very famous!
After hiding for a while, Gu Xiaosang said with a smile: "General, if you attack me again, I will not be polite. Why don't you wait until you kill them, and then I will kill you, okay?"
"With you?" Duoercha snorted coldly, and attacked more fiercely.
"If you were intact, two of me might not be your opponent. Now, your left eye is blind, your head is invaded by sword energy, and you have been hit by Monk Xinji's desperate Vajra Palm and Flower Picking Finger. How much strength do you have left? 30%, 20%, or 10%?" Gu Xiaosang smiled lightly and flew backwards, avoiding Duoercha's fatal blow.
"Even so, killing you is like killing a chicken." Duoercha was still majestic, but his figure suddenly changed direction and ran out of the forest.
He actually ran away as soon as he said he would!
He is worthy of being a barbarian hero!
Gu Xiaosang's figure was like a ghost, like a fairy, and somehow she stopped in front of Duoercha. She stretched out her slender hand, and her index and middle fingers formed into a short sword, leisurely pointing at Duoercha's eyebrows.
At the same time, she opened her mouth slightly and muttered something, and suddenly a faint voice came from the surroundings:
"The world is like hell, all living beings are suffering, reincarnation is endless, and worries are endless. Have pity on us, the gods have descended from the sky, the mother of no birth, the hometown of the vacuum!"
"Mother of no birth, the hometown of the vacuum!"
