Chapter 452 Heading North
In the midsummer, the mountain breeze was still slightly cool. Meng Qi walked down the road and soon left the Sword Washing Pavilion. He saw Gao Lan waiting outside.
Gao Lan nodded and said seriously: "The seven-foot sword is a metaphor for a person, which corresponds to the "I" and "I" in the following. In the "Tao Te Ching", "I" refers to the physical self, the external self, and "I" refers to the inner self, the true self. The two have completely different meanings. In the past, Nanhua Tianzun said "I lost myself."
"It's not like I don't know..." Meng Qi glanced at him.
"Haha." Gao Lan laughed dryly, "I'm just making something to say. To be honest, what's there to be afraid of in a dead end? As long as you can get out of the pass, you can get married. A virtuous woman is afraid of a clinging man. When the time comes, as long as you are willing to lose face and work hard..."
Meng Qi squinted at him: "Let's go and drink."
"Okay, forget your worries after getting drunk." Gao Lan clapped his hands.
A small town market also spontaneously formed outside the Xijian Pavilion mountain gate. Gao Lan and Meng Qi did not go to the private room of the restaurant, but each brought a jar of "Zuixian" and sat on the ground under the half-person-high wall at the end of the town, with their backs against the broken wall, looking at the weeds and the blue sky, eating the pig's trotters and beef they had just bought, and drinking silently.
After drinking for a while in a weird atmosphere, Gao Lan made small talk again, gulped down a mouthful, wiped his mouth: "Third brother, don't say that big brother didn't teach you, as long as you are determined, then you will persevere and pester..."
Meng Qi was about to stop him from talking about this, but he changed the subject and said with half pride and half emotion: "Thinking back then, she was still a bodhisattva, compassionate, and devoted to Buddhism. In the end, she was truly ordained, but what was the result? I got her and we lived together."
He looked complacent, but suddenly his expression changed and his tone became sad: "If she was really a Buddhist at that time, I'm afraid she would still be alive now. It's my fault, it's my fault!"
Gao Lan drank a lot of wine, slapped the ground, and said loudly: "Everyone who wanted to target her was crushed to death by me one by one. At that time, Changle was bloody for seven days, and only crying could be heard. But, but she didn't survive after all..."
He seemed to have the urge to sing wildly as if crying.
"How can the world be absolute? Who knows if they can really come back to life after reaching the level of the Emperor of Heaven?" Meng Qi's face twitched.
Gao Lan was drinking with him, but how did it turn into him comforting him? Will he have to sing and cry later?
"That's right!" Gao Lan patted his thigh and said, "I have long been fed up with those guys. They are aristocratic families and vassals of the royal family, but they are actually connected to the sects and are like flies and dogs. It was a good thing to kill them at that time, and it was a peaceful place!"
"So I envy you in Nanjin. The power of the aristocratic families is equal to that of the sects, so you don't have to be a lackey!"
Meng Qi is a casual cultivator and has no prejudice against the sects and aristocratic families. In response to Gao Lan's venting, he can only drink and agree, without expressing his own opinions.
"I have taken that step now. Sooner or later, I will seek justice and turn them upside down!" Gao Lan stood up with the wine jar, pointed at the rising moon, and shouted angrily.
Is it really a Dharmakaya... Meng Qi has drunk a lot of "Zuixian" and his head is a little dizzy, but it does not prevent him from thinking, nor does it prevent him from tasting important information from Gao Lan's words.
"Brother, when God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his heart and mind suffer and his muscles and bones work hard. You can be considered a blessing in disguise." He sighed.
Gao Lan laughed loudly, full of complacency: "That's right, there are not many people in the world who can catch my eye!"
"Are they the masters on the Heavenly Ranking?" Meng Qi asked with interest, to see how Gao Lan evaluated the ten Dharmakayas.
Gao Lan patted the wine jar and said, "They? Hey, Guerduo holds the Heaven Punishment Axe, and has the help of Daman, but he still can't completely suppress Chonghe and Lu Da. How can he be the first on the Heavenly Ranking?"
He really talked about Dharmakaya while drinking... Meng Qi wiped his cold sweat and imitated Liu Huangshu and said, "What about Senior Chonghe? He has been famous for more than 200 years. I wonder how far he has gone on the path of Dharmakaya."
"Chonghe? He has not made any breakthroughs, and he is already old and decayed. His time is coming, and he will be nothing but dry bones in the tomb!" Gao Lan waved his hand.
"What about the Shaolin Abbot Kongwen? He is the only one who has the record of killing or suppressing Dharmakaya masters." Meng Qi did his duty to support him.
But he was also drunk and excited. It was a rare opportunity to listen to the comments of Dharmakaya by a strong man of the same level. How could he not be curious?
Gao Lan said with a sigh of relief: "Han Guang's life or death is unknown. He may have escaped with injuries. Kong Wen may have also been seriously injured and no longer as powerful as before. Therefore, I haven't taken action for a long time. How could I bully the old, weak and disabled?"
Is Abbot Kong Wen no longer as powerful as before? Meng Qi was stunned, and suddenly remembered the story of Qi Xia described by Jiang Zhiwei and Zhang Yuanshan. It seems that the rumors are true?
Before Meng Qi came back to his senses, Gao Lan continued to comment: "General Lu..."
He paused, his expression gradually turned cold, half sighing and half cold: "Sooner or later, I will fight a life-and-death battle with General Lu."
I? Although Meng Qi felt drunk, he still keenly discovered that Gao Lan had changed his name.
Subconsciously raised his head and saw a pair of cold and ruthless eyes.
Gao Lan threw the wine jar aside and stood with his hands behind his back, with a sense of abyss and mountains. His messy hair was strangely smooth, and his beard fell off, revealing a handsome face.
Judging from his appearance, he was only in his thirties, with deep facial features, sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and a hint of indifference. With his emotionless eyes and mature and restrained temperament, he gave people great pressure.
Meng Qi always felt that his current appearance was good, but compared with Gao Lan, it seemed that he was still half a step behind. Unlike Wang Siyuan's beautiful appearance, he did not have a trace of femininity.
"The Gao family of Changle is indeed a family marked by outstanding appearance..." Meng Qi inexplicably had this thought.
Apart from its reputation in martial arts, the biggest mark of the Gao family of Changle is its outstanding appearance and violent temper.
Gao Lan looked at Meng Qi coldly, and he couldn't help but feel dangerous. His tailbone was numb, cold sweat ran down his back, and even his soul seemed to become slow. Many illusions appeared in his mind, as if Gao Lan would pinch him to death in the next moment!
Why did he feel so changed? Is it another double personality? Mad King, Mad King... As expected, there is only a wrong name, not a wrong nickname... Meng Qi held the wine jar, and many thoughts subconsciously popped up in his mind.
"How dare you become sworn brothers with me?" Gao Lan said coldly and sarcastically, then pressed the iron bar and turned away, as if he was too disdainful to take action against someone like Meng Qi who didn't even have an outdoor scene.
The feeling of being stabbed by the sword slowly faded away, and Meng Qi looked at the place where Gao Lan disappeared, and was a little dazed for a while.
…………
In the capital of the gods, the headquarters of the Six Gates, in a room in a green building.
"Just received news that the Fairy Juejian is in prison, and this issue of the list of people has to be revised before it is released." A man in a dark red police uniform rushed into the room with a note, and a green official seal hung on his waist.
"In prison?"
"She really learned from her master!"
The police inside all sighed, and then changed the list of people.
——Those who have passed the death barrier will either become an outsider or die, so they will be automatically removed from the list.
They are very efficient. It didn’t take long for them to finish the new list and post it in the room for people to correct mistakes.
The head of the police who rushed into the room looked carefully at the front and felt that the changes were huge:
"Name: Tie Sheng."
"Martial arts: Nine Apertures, which is infinitely close to opening the mysterious gate between the eyebrows. The source of martial arts is unknown. It can create a little magic, produce a black curtain of one zhang in radius, without sound and light leaking out, and is good at affecting the senses, interfering with judgment, and creating illusions. It is good at agility, speed and killing. It also has a unique skill that can evolve a killing sword with itself, which is comparable to "Sword Out of Selflessness."
"Records: Hunted countless warriors below the half-step outer scene of the grassland, repelled the half-step outer scene horse bandit leader "Eagle King" twice, and after going south, hunted the 21st on the human list at that time "Fire Eye Shura", and fought with "Crazy Knife" Su Meng in Xingyunzhuang, and the outcome is unknown."
"Ranking: First."
"Nickname: Wolf King."
"Identity: Grassland casual cultivator."
The head of the police frowned, feeling that the description of Wolf King's martial arts was more detailed than before.
He continued to read:
"Name: Su Meng, formerly known as Zhending."
"Martial arts: Eight or nine orifices, initially practiced the Golden Bell Cover, now suspected to have switched to similar self-defense hard skills, so he has outstanding strength; he mainly uses the right-handed knife, supplemented by the left-handed sword, his sword skills are not systematic but he is good at risking his life, his sword skills have obtained the true meaning of the first and second styles of Ananda's sword, and can be used continuously without stimulating blood and essence."
"With the help of the treasure in his hand, he can also derive the external scene sword moves of thunderous nature, and with all his strength, he can make a nearly external scene attack. At the same time, he has achieved success in the way of swordsmanship, and his essence has entered the realm of masters, and he has another way to summon thunder."
"Achievements: Fighting against 'white-headed vulture' An Guoxie; in the training ground of Yedu County Yamen, half a move was dangerous Defeat Wang Zai, the 'guardian of justice'; in Dongyang Villa, force Wang Siyuan, the 'calculated immortality', to return his sword for defense; on the streets of Changchuan, Jiangzhou, narrowly defeat Qing Yu, the 'five-sided imperial sword'; running thousands of miles, outside the temple beside Longyan Mountain Road, encountering the siege of the Demon Shadow Cold Palm, the Fiery Human Demon and the Soul-Falling Flute, fighting one against three, killing all of them, the details of the fight are unknown; in Xingyun Manor, fighting with the Wolf King, the outcome is unknown. "
"Ranking: Second place."
"Nickname: Crazy Knife, Wild King Kong, Thunder Knife Crazy Monk."
"Identity: Abandoned disciple of Shaolin, a chivalrous knight in the world."
The head constable exhaled: "Huh, the first and second of the new list..."
…………
The bright moon hangs high, shedding its clear light, the night is vast, with indescribable peace and tranquility.
It seems that there is only Meng Qi between heaven and earth.
Feeling the night wind blowing, Meng Qi gradually came back to his senses and suddenly laughed softly.
After laughing, he pushed the wine jar away, stood up leisurely, held the blade with his left hand, looked into the distance, then flicked his black suit and walked forward.
Go north and kill the wolf king!
After returning to Chengdu, I thought I wouldn’t be so busy, but my wisdom tooth got inflamed and it hurt like hell
