Chapter 454: Effortless
Seeing that Sikong Tu's wife had such an awareness, Meng Qi didn't need to say much. He sighed and said, "Mr. Sikong asked me to bring these things to you before he died."
While speaking, a package appeared in his hand like a magic trick.
Hearing that he called him Mr. Sikong instead of Mr. Si, Sikong Tu's wife became more certain of her guess. She shook her body as if she was weak, and then took the package with sorrow and pain.
Slowly opening the package, she saw a long sword with a crystal blade that seemed to contain a wisp of cloud, an accessory that looked like gold but not gold, like jade but not jade, a secret book and two small jade bottles.
"Bao Bing..." Sikong Tu's wife whispered in a daze.
Treasure weapons are always in high demand. Even the largest sects and families will not have too many. Unless there is an exchange of interests, they rarely leak treasure weapons and are unlikely to be buried with the dead. Even the declining families and declining sects rarely sell treasure weapons. This is their hope for revival. Only a very small number of people who are desperate and no longer think about restoring their former glory for the sake of current prosperity will sell treasure weapons.
Therefore, even though Sikong Tu is considered to be very rich and has excavated many tombs, he has not obtained one.
Now seeing this cloud sword, Sikong Tu's wife can't help but be stunned.
"This is what Mr. Sikong exchanged his life for, especially the secret book, which can improve qualifications, but it is attached with a mysterious curse. Only one person can read it, otherwise it will be damaged on the spot. If the practitioner passes it on to others, he will be haunted by evil spirits and die suddenly." Meng Qi specifically reminded that things in the six ways are not so easy to get.
Sikong Tu's wife nodded, with mixed emotions, and said to herself: "People like him always have a hard time ending up well. Since I married him, I have been persuading him to quit his career. Every time he goes out, I am always worried, fearing that bad news will come."
"This time he said he found an ancient tomb. If it is excavated, Xing'er will have no worries for the rest of his life and become a true hero. I am happy and worried. I am happy that as long as this time passes, he will quit his career and stop doing similar things. I can raise my children well and enjoy the happiness of family life. I will no longer suffer from the pain of worry. I am worried that ancient tombs are always dangerous and I am afraid that he will not be able to pass this threshold."
"Sure enough, he didn't push open the last door after all."
People who do tomb robbing often encounter many strange things and it is difficult for them to have a good ending. Therefore, Sikong Tu's wife is not surprised by the mysterious curse, and she always wants Sikong Tu to quit his career.
"A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step." Meng Qi sighed and encouraged himself with this.
Sikong Tu's wife's face had two strings of tears, sliding across her smooth skin and falling silently: "In fact, I don't care about any treasures or money, as long as he can live well. We don't have to worry about food and clothing now, and his martial arts are more than enough to teach Xing'er, so why bother to take the last risk?"
Sikong Tu is at least a normal half-step outside scene, and he has robbed so many tombs, so he has many skills.
Wiping away her tears, Sikong Tu's wife said lightly: "This young man, you have sent my husband's relics from thousands of miles away, without any greed. In addition to your chivalrous heart, I'm afraid you have something else to ask for?"
"Mr. Sikong promised to give me a secret technique, which is the one that transfers cause and effect." Meng Qi said frankly without any embarrassment.
He and Sikong Tu are not related, if there is no benefit, why should he keep a promise to the tomb robber?
Sikong Tu's wife was stunned for a moment: "That secret technique? It can only take effect when the other party is willing. It is considered as a deepening of the oath of the soul. What's the point of it, young master?"
This was her subconscious reaction. After all, to her, the secret technique of cause and effect was like chicken ribs, and it was not on the same level as the things in the package.
"I have my own use." Meng Qi certainly would not explain to her that he was just thinking about the method of transferring cause and effect, so as to learn by analogy and comprehend the swordsmanship.
Sikong Tu's wife nodded slightly, and no longer asked any more questions. She turned around and walked to the desk, picked up a pen and wrote down the secret technique silently. Meng Qi then introduced her in detail the role of things such as Longhua Pei.
The secret technique was not long, and Sikong Tu's wife finished writing it quickly, and handed it to Meng Qi with a sad face.
Meng Qi did not hide it, and read it carefully in front of her, thinking about the meaning of every sentence, and deeply imprinted the secret technique in his mind.
Gradually, he felt something disappear in the dark, and he felt a lot more relaxed, his soul was lively, his body was relaxed, and he felt indescribably free.
"Is this the feeling of breaking off the cause and effect?" Meng Qi thought.
Unlike other causes and effects, this one was transferred by Sikong Tu and forced upon himself, so of course it felt obvious when it disappeared.
Lines broke one by one, and Sikong Tu's request and the transfer of cause and effect at the beginning, and the liveliness and ease now, all poured into Meng Qi's mind, making him seem to have a deeper understanding of cause and effect.
Meng Qi's eyebrows were slightly hot, as if they were about to crack open, revealing his eyes, and his feeling about the surroundings changed a little. He seemed to see the wind and hear the sunshine. From a new "perspective", he looked at the whole world. They were harmonious and harmonious, as if they were rejecting him, and as if they were opening their arms to accept him. It all depended on how his outward spirit connected with the inner world.
One step closer to the sympathy between heaven and man... Meng Qi closed his eyes and sighed slightly.
At that time, the limitation of transferring cause and effect was that if he could not break through, he could not break through to the outer scene. Therefore, after the nine orifices, the cause and effect were entangled, and the cultivation of the eyebrow gate became slow.
Originally, given that Meng Qi had condensed the ancestral orifice early, he should have been able to communicate with heaven and man within three or four months, faster than Jiang Zhiwei. However, in the one month from Xijian Pavilion to here, he did not make much progress in his realm except for practicing the "Heaven-changing and Earth-strike Great Method" to the next stage. Now he has finally taken off the shackles and improved rapidly.
"Here are some letters of recommendation from several sects. Without Mr. Sikong, you will be in danger in the border. After choosing a master, sell your property and go south as soon as possible." Meng Qi reminded sincerely.
Sikong Tu's marriage and childbirth were extremely secretive. As long as the mother and son sold the land and house here, went south quietly without servants, no one could find out Sikong Xing's background.
Sikong Tu's wife was also a person in the underworld. She was quite skilled and naturally understood the key. She nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, sir. We will go south tonight."
She seemed to plan to leave the land and house behind and only take the gold and silver jewelry, so as not to attract attention when selling them and be targeted by the scoundrels.
Meng Qi didn't say anything more. Just as he was about to say goodbye, he suddenly remembered something: "Madam Sikong, I have something else to ask you."
"What is it?" Sikong Tu's wife asked in confusion.
"Have you ever heard of 'Worry-free Valley'?" Meng Qi asked calmly.
During this period of time, Ruan Yushu and Jiang Zhiwei had looked through ancient books, but they still couldn't find the location of Worry-free Valley. Thinking that Sikong Tu was good at tomb robbing and might know a lot of secrets, Meng Qi asked casually, trying his best.
Sikong Tu's wife frowned and thought for a while: "My husband seems to have mentioned it once."
"Really?" Meng Qi didn't think Sikong Tu really knew, so he asked back.
Sikong Tu's wife took a breath and said, "If I heard correctly, it should be 'Wuyou Valley'. When he excavated an ancient tomb, he got a record of the predecessors looking for Wuyou Valley, and said that if he had the chance in the future, he would go to explore there."
"Where is that record?" Meng Qi suppressed his joy and tried his best to remain calm.
Sikong Tu's wife sighed, "He planned to retire before, so he buried similar records in his own tomb to show that he had cut off all ties with the past. His tomb is in..."
She told Meng Qi where Sikong Tu's tomb was, just outside Leli City. At the same time, she also told him about all the vicious mechanisms in the tomb.
As an outstanding tomb robber, Sikong Tu would naturally not let anyone rob his tomb at will.
Meng Qi was overjoyed, thanked him calmly, and then said goodbye and left, planning to excavate late at night.
When he reached the street outside, Meng Qi had just taken a few steps when he suddenly had an idea and looked at the person not far away.
The man was not very old, wearing a brocade robe, with messy and thick eyebrows, sharp and violent eyes, standing there, like a human-shaped beast.
The two people's eyes met, and there seemed to be a buzzing sound, and the surrounding people and scenery faded, leaving only each other.
"Shangguan Heng, is it Su Meng, the 'Crazy Blade'?" The young man's tone was full of fighting spirit.
There were countless people watching in the shops and restaurants on both sides, because Shangguan Heng had been waiting here for a long time, and the man with the Lulong accent and the table of merchants from Dajin who refuted him were also among them. They had never thought that such a duel would occur in the small Leli City.
Is it true that the second place on the human list is well-deserved, or is it true that the Six Gates of Dajin discriminated against the masters of the Northern Zhou Dynasty?
"That's right." Meng Qi came out as his true self, so he naturally had the intention of sharpening his skills along the way, and such a big fanfare would make the Wolf King think that he was traveling, not trying to sneak into the grassland.
Shangguan Heng took a step forward, and the ground shook slightly. He said loudly: "Do you dare to fight?"
"Come on." Meng Qi smiled slightly and drew his sword out of its sheath calmly.
His intuition spread, and everything around him was slowly outlined in his heart. He had a general grasp of Shangguan Heng's strength:
He had just opened his nine orifices not long ago, and his spirit was much worse than his own. He was ranked eleventh on the human list with such a realm. I'm afraid he has outstanding moves or combat power. It's possible that he has mastered the unique moves of the Dharma body.
In this case, use your strengths to attack his weaknesses!
Seeing all kinds of unique moves is one aspect of tempering, and using what you have learned to the right extent is another aspect. Meng Qi is now going to try the latter.
His momentum changed, and he became indifferent, as if he was looking down at the sky of the earth, like an immortal Buddha who was accustomed to seeing reincarnation, and the knife in his hand was ethereal and uncertain and slashed out!
Shangguan Heng clenched his fists and was about to go to meet them, when suddenly he felt the world change, and the surroundings were no longer streets, but villages.
"Rouge and powder, the best rouge and powder..." Shangguan Heng found himself a peddler, selling along the village.
At this time, a door opened, and a woman covered her face with a handkerchief and said, "Take it and try it."
Shangguan Heng knew what was going on, so he hurried forward and went in with the woman, and was covered with red waves.
With a bang, the door was kicked open, and the man holding the ox-horn knife roared, "Damn adulterer and whore!"
After one knife, Shangguan Heng's eyes went black.
The light shone again, and Shangguan Heng suddenly felt sad and couldn't help crying. A pair of strong arms behind him came around and whispered: "My wife, although we can't be born on the same day, we can die on the same day."
All this is so real. Shangguan Heng has experienced the identities of a widow, a prostitute, and an otaku. After reincarnation again and again, her soul is lost.
Suddenly, the scene broke, and he came back to his senses in a daze. He saw a strange knife on his neck. Although it didn't break through the protective qi, the position alone was terrifying.
Meng Qi used Ananda's knife to push the "Heaven-Changing and Earth-Strike Method" to a further level, and awakened Shangguan Heng's past life memories with his heart to heart!
Lost, lost... Shangguan Heng was stunned.
"Thank you." Meng Qi sheathed his sword and walked away with his hands behind his back. "I know you won't accept this. Wait until you figure out how to defend against this blow, then come back to me."
If they fought normally, it would be a tough fight to defeat Shangguan Heng.
