Chapter 478 Entering the Divine Capital with Dignity
The head of the escort team and the others had never heard of the Six Devil Exterminators, but the Hungry Ghost Wanderer confidently called him a member of the Tianmie Sect, and they could not help but believe him. After all, who would lie to a "dead man" in their eyes?
And the "Eight Great Heavenly Demons and Nineteen Human Demons" are only the part of Tianmie Sect that is famous in the world, and are by no means equivalent to the full strength of one of the Nine Evil Paths. Who can believe that Shaolin only has eight outsiders and nineteen half-step or open-minded masters?
Therefore, the part of Tianmie Sect under the water must be larger than the "Eight Great Heavenly Demons and Nineteen Human Demons", and it is normal that the Six Devil Exterminators are not included in it.
Luo Sect and Tianmie Sect in the Nine Evil Paths have joined forces? When Gu Changqing and the others were shocked by this, the head of the escort team narrowed his eyes and quickly took out something with his right hand.
Bang!
A stream of light shot up into the sky with a crisp explosion and bloomed into a bright red flower.
"Ask for help?" Hungry Ghost Sanren snorted coldly, "There is no village in front and no shop behind here, who are you asking for help? Passers-by? Humph, I want to see who dares to intervene in the affairs of our Luo Sect and Mie Tianmen!"
While speaking, he raised his right hand, five fingers formed into claws, and grabbed the head of the escort from a distance.
The five nails were sharp and dark green, and the true energy was like ink, bringing black clouds rolling and ghosts crying and wolves howling.
This grab was full of yin energy, as if it was probing from the underworld. The changes made people feel cold all over, and their blood vessels stiffened, and it seemed difficult to avoid!
The head of the escort suddenly drew his sword, and the blade was shining with brilliant gold, as if it was coated with a layer of gold. From the bottom to the top, the sun rose in the east and the heat waves rolled.
Bang!
The true energy collided, the weapon and the claw met, and the head of the escort retreated several steps, his face turned pale, but his body was still agile, changing direction repeatedly, and there was no sign of slowness.
"The head of the escort is so powerful..." Gu Changqing and other escorts and escorts fell into a dream.
They had never thought that the good-natured Master Escort could fight against the Hungry Ghost Wanderer who was half a step away from the outside world. He was hiding so deeply!
"Could it be that the darts are really on the Master Escort?"
As soon as they thought of this, the Luo Sect members had already swarmed up, including experts such as Zhikongshi.
For a moment, there were screams on the hill, and several weaker escorts quickly fell to the ground, spitting black blood.
Gu Changqing swung his long sword and killed the Luo Sect members on the opposite side with a desperate momentum. He wanted to rescue others, but was entangled by several Zhikongshi. He rushed left and right but couldn't get away. Gradually, his two fists were no match for four hands, and he fell below.
While struggling to support himself, he saw the Hungry Ghost Wanderer completely suppress the Master Escort with a strong attack, and then his eyes flashed with green light, his body swelled a few points, and his right hand stretched out like a claw.
His five fingers were bent strangely, like sharp teeth, and his right hand seemed to have turned into a bloody mouth, swallowing the golden long knife of the Master Escort.
Crack, facing this grab, the knife energy disappeared silently, as if being swallowed, and the tip of the knife was broken alive!
The master escort leader rushed forward involuntarily, facing the ghost claw. In a hurry, he rolled over like a lazy donkey to avoid the vitals, but five blood marks appeared on his back, and then it was bruised and swollen, and pus and blood flowed out.
With a flash of sword light, Gu Changqing rushed away several people around him and rescued them with all his strength.
The chief escort leader has been kind to me, and the master escort leader often guides me. It is worth it to exchange my life for the master escort leader's escape and the escort's goods to be safe!
After many things, Gu Changqing's heart is full of fearlessness!
Puff puff puff, the sharp weapon pierced into the flesh, Gu Changqing had several wounds on his back, bleeding for a long time, and he rushed to the master escort leader.
"Let's die together!" The hungry ghost scattered people were excited to fight, and his left hand was swung out, and the gloomy and cold meaning was so strong that the surrounding area turned into the underworld.
Gu Changqing's blood was frozen, and he couldn't swing his sword in time. He could only watch the ghost claws attack. Countless thoughts came to his mind. He remembered the family happiness in his youth, the joy of "traveling" the vast sea, the pain when he heard the bad news, the confusion and pleasure of revenge, and the persistence of working hard and enduring hardships. Finally, he sighed:
"Compared with Banbu Waijing, I am still as weak as an ant..."
Just then, a loud shout came from a distance:
"Kill!"
When the voice came, Hungry Ghost Sanren was still angry. Who had the guts to meddle in the affairs of Luojiao?
But the sound was like thunder, rolling into his ears, shaking his soul and making it difficult for him to control himself. Purple lightning was running around in front of him, and there was a disintegrating evil aura around him.
He turned back with difficulty and saw a figure rushing into the encirclement from under the hillock, with a knife flashing in his hand. The followers were like clay puppets, without any resistance, and let him pass.
Gu Changqing was as if struck by lightning, distracted, his eyes were dull, like a wooden chicken, and the heroic and fierce black figure was reflected in his pupils.
In the sound of "thunder", the hungry ghost came back to his senses, shocked, and blurted out:
"Kuang Dao!"
The name of a person is like the shadow of a tree. His pupils shrank, hesitated slightly, and then shouted loudly:
"Go!"
As soon as he said this, he was like a stray dog, rushing straight into the dense forest on the left side of the hillock and disappeared in an instant.
Meng Qi ran to a nearby place, but did not chase him. Instead, he slowed down and stopped in front of Gu Changqing.
The vaguely recognizable features, the increasingly masculine temperament, and the blood slowly flowing from the knife all caught Gu Changqing's eyes, leaving him stunned for a moment after he had escaped from Lei Yan's harassment.
Then, he saw the black-clad man in front of him raised his mouth and showed a brilliant smile:
"One arrow pierces the clouds, thousands of troops come to meet you!"
As soon as the voice fell, the Luojiao members who did not have time to escape fell to the ground one by one, like weeds lying under the strong wind, all of them were people Meng Qi passed by.
"Thank you for saving me." Gu Changqing took a deep breath and bowed.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, but your appearance has not changed much. I can recognize you at a glance." Meng Qi smiled.
Gu Changqing smiled bitterly and said, "I went out to travel when I was an adult, unlike you. If it weren't for the reputation of Kuang Dao, I really wouldn't dare to recognize you.
After a few pleasantries, the two looked at each other in silence, not knowing what to say to close the distance of three years.
"Let's leave here first, so that Luojiao masters won't come." Meng Qi looked around, fearing that the figure in the white dress would suddenly appear.
"Okay. "Gu Changqing didn't say anything more. He squatted down and searched for something in the arms of his master.
When he woke up, he found that his master had died of poison. The claws of the hungry ghost were not so easy to bear!
As expected, he found something, stuffed it into his arms, and hurriedly left with Meng Qi.
After changing directions continuously and eliminating traces, Meng Qi stopped and asked in confusion: "How did your escort agency provoke the people of Luojiao?"
The Zhongzhou Escort Agency is not big or small, and it should try to avoid direct conflicts with the Nine Evil Paths.
"I don't know either. After we escorted a batch of goods to Nanzhou, we originally planned to buy some local specialties and sell them back to Beijing to avoid empty-handed. Who knew that a man in a black cloak came to ask for escort, and asked us to escort a black wooden box to the capital of gods, and said that someone would come to pick it up at that time. "Many of his companions died. Gu Changqing was unwilling to be vague and tried his best to recall what happened. "Halfway through, the chief escort came to pick us up in person, saying that we met by chance halfway..."
"When we arrived at the small town ahead, the chief escort suddenly said that he had something important to do and parted ways with us."
When he was in the middle of this matter, Gu Changqing didn't think there was a problem, but now that he thought about it carefully, he felt that the bodyguard was more and more strange, so he took out the black wooden box in his arms and opened it carefully.
"The seal is damaged, and someone must have opened it before. "Meng Qi's eyes were sharp.
Gu Changqing nodded, without saying much, slowly opened the box, revealing the things inside.
Inside was a layer of bright red petals, bright red and not withered at all. On top of them was a strange-shaped thing, which seemed to be made of gold and inlaid with red and purple gems, engraved with strange patterns. If you look closely, you will feel dizzy.
The patterns and gems of this thing are not complete, and it seems to be half or part of a certain item.
"It looks like a token, but it was split into two halves." Meng Qi pondered.
Gu Changqing pursed his lips: "Maybe the chief escort took it away, and the troops entered the capital in two ways."
"I don't know what's special about this token... Anyway, let's go back to the capital first. When we get to the capital, we can't let the Luo Sect run rampant." Meng Qi studied it carefully for a while, but didn't find any clues.
"Well. "Gu Changqing put away the wooden box and did not bother Meng Qi.
After the discussion just now, the unfamiliarity between the two faded a lot. Meng Qi asked while walking: "Why do you want to be a escort leader?"
"If you live under someone else's roof, you have to find a place to eat, and people who practice martial arts always have to use their skills, otherwise they will be unfamiliar." Gu Changqing said concisely.
"It sounds like the Xie family is not very enthusiastic about you..." Meng Qi didn't say much, and the distance did not separate the relatives.
Gu Changqing smiled: "After all, there is a layer of relationship between us, and I was expelled from the Gu family. They can take me in and give me a place to live, which is precious. Moreover, I was favored by the chief escort later, and my own strength improved greatly, and they also became more enthusiastic. "
Seeing that Gu Changqing did not show extreme resentment, Meng Qi was slightly relieved, but he didn't know whether he still adhered to the concept of eradicating evil.
"Changqing, what do you plan to do after revenge? Be a escort leader for life? "The river ahead was in sight, the waves sparkling, Meng Qi suddenly asked.
Gu Changqing was stunned: "What do you mean after revenge?"
Meng Qi said seriously: "I know you still have a knot in your heart, and you still want to kill Zeluoju."
"You still want to step into the door of the Gu family again and ask the clan leader if he regrets it..." Gu Changqing's eyes became dark.
Meng Qi said sincerely: "I am not stopping you from taking revenge. In fact, the day I went out was the beginning of Zeluoju's death. I hope you will not be entangled in hatred for your whole life. Think about what to do after the great revenge is taken."
"What to do..." Gu Changqing was a little confused. For more than three years, what supported him to move forward was the desire for revenge. He never thought about what he would do after the revenge was successful.
Meng Qi exhaled: "My master was also killed by the crying old man's lineage. I am afraid that he also has the desire for revenge now, but I believe he will not lose himself because of this. When the hatred is over, he will be able to achieve great enlightenment."
"How can the Xuanbei Divine Monk be comparable to me?" "Gu Changqing smiled bitterly, his voice gradually becoming low, "I don't have any skills, I don't have any qualifications, and talking about revenge is just a daydream..."
Meng Qi stopped by the river and said to himself, "If you can get an excellent technique, but you have to spend the rest of your life inheriting and promoting it, would you be willing?"
"Ah?" Gu Changqing was shocked and puzzled.
Meng Qi suddenly smiled brightly and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. We'll talk about it in detail when we get to the capital of gods."
At this moment, Gu Changqing wanted to beat up the guy in front of him who was smiling with two rows of white teeth.
…………
The canal connects the river and sells the daily necessities of millions of people. It can be called the lifeblood of the capital of gods.
The river is wide, the waves are surging, and thousands of sails cover the sun. It is a lively scene.
On a building ship, Yan Chong, the "Long River of Sword Qi", is drinking with others.
"Brother Fan is flattered to come to meet you as the top scholar." He drank it all first.
The man opposite was wearing a dark red police uniform, with a small silver seal hanging from his waist. He had handsome features, a slightly hooked chin, and a calm temperament. He was the top scorer of this year's martial arts exam, Fan Changmiao.
"Haha, Brother Yan is the second on the list. Wherever he goes, he will attract more attention than the title of the top scorer?" Fan Changmiao said with a smile, "And everyone has a close relationship with the prince. Why should we be polite to our own people?"
Yan Chong smiled bitterly and said, "I came to the second place inexplicably. It was all thanks to the breakthroughs of the people in front of me, and those who were killed were killed."
"So what? Wherever the second on the list goes, he will stir up the situation and make most forces bow down to him?" Fan Changmiao was full of spirit.
Yan Chong was about to speak when he suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling. He turned his head and looked out the window. He happened to see a ship passing by with a man standing on the bow.
This man was dressed in black, with a strange long sword on his waist. He had a handsome face and a masculine temperament. He stood like a pine tree with his hands behind his back, forming a harmonious whole with the river, breeze, scattered clouds, and ships.
As if sensing Yan Chong's gaze, the man turned his head, made eye contact with him, and then nodded in greeting.
"He's here too..." Yan Chong whispered to himself.
"Who?" Fan Changmiao also saw this man.
"Crazy Knife!" Yan Chong narrowed his eyes.
Fan Changmiao's expression changed repeatedly:
"He's also in the capital of gods..."
Another ship passed by, blocking the line of sight, and the waves on the river surged, as if there was a wind.
