Chapter 661: The Forbidden Land Where Water Cannot Enter (3rd Update)
The breeze from the lake surface blew in with a little dampness and a little coldness, which was indescribably refreshing.
Meng Qi recalled Bixia Yuanjun's introduction and transmitted his voice: "The title of the best swordsmanship is Tongtian Jiaozhu, also known as Lingbao Tianzun, but there is already someone, so it is impossible to choose. Similar to this is Duobao Tianzun, who was a disciple of Tongtian Jiaozhu and inherited the essence of swordsmanship, but Xianji currently does not have his skills and lacks titles, and the same is true for Dangmo Tianzun..."
"Among the titles that can be selected, those who are good at swordsmanship include Jinmu Yuanjun, Yuding Zhenren, etc. Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun's skills also include several swordsmanship, but he may be a member of the Qingdi Dao Sect, and the title is extremely causal, Those who chose this title and the title of 'Dong Wanggong' all ended up dead. "
Jiang Zhiwei listened quietly to Meng Qi's analysis, believing in his judgment, and finally said: "Jinmu Yuanjun is the Taoist title of Xiwangmu. The most important skill is to master the power of gold, and the swordsmanship is only auxiliary. Among the other immortals, Yuding Zhenren is the strongest and famous for his swordsmanship, which is the most suitable for me. "
Like Yun Zhongzi, Yuding Zhenren is only famous in the Conferred God World, but Jiang Zhiwei has completed the task in Conferred God after all, so she doesn't need Meng Qi to explain it in detail.
"Using a male immortal to cover up a female body, the swordsmanship is also completely different, which is not bad." Meng Qi agreed with a smile.
He knew that Jiang Zhiwei valued more observation and learning more swordsmanship, and didn't care about the specific title.
Moreover, Yuding Zhenren didn't have the title of Tianzun, at most he just entered the legend, and the cause and effect he bore would not be too heavy, or even none.
After the plan was settled, the two pretended to go fishing and went boating on the lake. Each used secret methods and magical powers to observe the direction of the qi of heaven and earth, and slowly sketched out a "panoramic scroll" in their minds.
The boat went deeper and deeper, and there were more and more floating ice mixed in the flow of the lake. The white snow was all over the vision, and the cold made the tourists wearing fur coats shiver.
At this point, most ships began to return, and only those carrying Jianghu masters continued to go deeper, to appreciate the rare floating ice scene elsewhere and appreciate the artistic conception of the cold river and snow.
Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei found clues based on their own observations and combined with the law of qi change described by the Great Emperor Zhenwu, and urged the boat to sail into the depths of ice and snow.
The floating ice became larger and larger, like icebergs, covered with white snow, coming downstream. The boat shuttled between them and gradually approached a white island. It seemed that even the bottom of the lake was frozen around!
"There." Meng Qi took a breath of the bone-chilling air and looked at the ice layer in the distance.
The specific location needs to be carefully observed and judged after landing!
Suddenly, a figure standing on the edge of the island said loudly:
"This island is the forbidden land of the Cao family, please retreat quickly!"
Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei looked at each other and felt a little heavy. This is the worst situation. The treasure of the Zhenwu Emperor is located in the forbidden land of the Cao family.
In broad daylight, the two did not choose to force their way in. They turned the boat and prepared to exit the floating ice area first.
At this time, a pleasure boat came towards them and headed for the island covered by ice and snow. A young woman stood on the bow, wearing a white cloak, plain clothes, oval face, no jewelry, dignified and pretty.
She was restrained and stood straight like a pine tree, with a kind of indescribable demeanor.
The pleasure boat and the boat approached quickly. The woman looked at Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei, but did not care too much, just treating them as daring tourists.
As the two boats passed by, Jiang Zhi whispered, "'Wuwang Earthly Immortal' Cao E."
She had seen Cao E's image before.
It turned out to be her! Meng Qi nodded gently. This was one of the most famous strong men of the younger generation of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He had long been in the top ten of the human list and had entered the outdoor scene with a perfect half step.
Suddenly, his heart moved and he looked back at the pleasure boat.
The pleasure boat had already docked, and Cao E flew down to the snow, heading towards the island and quickly disappeared.
Meng Qi narrowed his eyes, and suddenly there was a golden light flashing inside, and Cao E's vague figure was reflected in his pupils!
Wisdom Eyes and Divine Powers!
Cao E quickly arrived at the center of the island, where there was a layer of ice for thousands of years, and there was little life.
She operated her skills and pressed her palm on the ice for thousands of years.
Suddenly, the light of the ice soul lit up, and a door cracked on the ice for thousands of years, and Cao E stepped down on the steps.
When the ice door closed, Meng Qi's eyes could no longer catch her breath!
"From the signs of the convergence of qi, the place where the treasure of the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable is hidden is deep in the ice layer where Cao E stepped. Perhaps it is because it and the Ice Eye are both positive and strange, so the Cao family has never discovered it." Meng Qi told Jiang Zhiwei what he had spied on.
Jiang Zhiwei pondered and said, "That is the forbidden area of the Cao family's forbidden area. It may be very difficult to enter."
The boat sailed out of the lake with more floating ice. Meng Qi thought and said, "The ice of ten thousand years penetrates the bone marrow. There is almost no life nearby. It is difficult to approach by the method of transformation. At most, he can pretend to be a child of the Cao family. Seeing Cao E's means of opening the door, I am afraid that he will have to use the authentic method of the Cao family. There seems to be interrogation inside... All this seems to be aimed at the transformation and infiltration!"
At this point, Meng Qi was shocked, and a handsome figure suddenly appeared in his mind:
"Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun" Cao Xianzhi!
Only those who practice the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art will be so wary of transformation and infiltration!
He was promoted to Grandmaster and was reused by Cao family?
"What happened?" Seeing Meng Qi stunned, Jiang Zhiwei asked with concern.
Meng Qi smiled bitterly and said, "We met an expert. Fortunately, he is an acquaintance. Let's ask Tianzun about the situation first."
"Tianzun..." Jiang Zhiwei muttered to herself and didn't ask more questions.
…………
In an inn, Taoist Chonghe wore a mask of "Lingbao Tianzun" and sat across from Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei.
He mused: "'Qingyuan' is a calm and solid person, with a chivalrous spirit in his heart. He is not a person who forgets his loyalty for profit. If he seeks cooperation, even if he fails, he will not betray him."
If they can find an internal agent in the Cao family, or a grandmaster-level internal agent responsible for arranging the defense of the forbidden area, Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei's difficulties will undoubtedly be solved, and it can no longer be called a difficulty!
Of course, the specific price to be paid and the harvest to be divided determine whether Meng Qi chooses to cooperate.
After a pause, Lingbao Tianzun reminded: "However, the Seven Swords of Jie Tian are the top inheritance of Taoism and swordsmanship, and the Dharma Body can also move. Qingyuan himself may not, but he has to consider his family. If he knows such a treasure If you hand it over to outsiders after it is in your own forbidden area, you will feel guilty and hesitant, so it is best not to mention the specific thing directly. "
It is essential to be on guard against others, especially Cao Xianzhi, who values his family very much!
Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei nodded. If they were themselves, after knowing the news, they would definitely be reluctant to share the treasures with others, even though they could all be included in their own family sect's treasures.
"Anyway, let's try his tone first." Meng Qi made up his mind.
After Jiang Zhiwei signed the Immortal Trace Contract, Meng Qi took her to secretly deliver a letter, asking to see Cao Xianzhi, the new grand master of the Cao family!
…………
In the south of the city, there is Fengxiao Pavilion.
When Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei arrived, "Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun" Cao Xianzhi was wearing a wide robe, with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly, with no trace of anxiety or doubt on his handsome face.
"Who is this?" Cao Xianzhi looked Jiang Zhiwei over.
Meng Qi smiled and said, "New member."
Jiang Zhiwei is already a strong person in the field scene, and has the endorsement of Meng Qi and Lingbao Tianzun. She is also a reincarnation person, so she directly became an official member.
Cao Xianzhi didn't ask any more questions and just looked at them, waiting for them to express their opinions on their own.
"Brother Cao, after many twists and turns, we found a treasure house somewhere in your house and would like to ask your help to obtain it." Meng Qi got straight to the point.
Cao Xianzhi frowned slightly: "Our family?"
Meng Qi explained: "The magic weapons and techniques that are not yours are an ancient treasure house that existed before you established your family, but have never been discovered by you. If you can help, the treasures obtained will be shared equally and the techniques will be passed down. If you leave it to the fairyland, you have the right to realize it from time to time."
Meng Qi felt a little heartbroken to share the treasure again, but if he could persuade Cao Xianzhi, it would be effortless and far better than taking huge risks.
Cao Xianzhi's expression did not change, but he remained silent, as if he was struggling violently. Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei did not urge him, giving him time to think.
After a while, Cao Xianzhi breathed out and smiled bitterly: "I don't dare to introduce outsiders into the family's forbidden area without the consent of the family leader. Maybe you don't have ulterior motives, but if this trend continues, the Cao family will be destroyed sooner or later. ”
He bluntly said that the treasure house was in one of several forbidden places, because if the Cao family had not strictly guarded the place, with Meng Qi's strength and magical power, he would have taken it away without anyone noticing.
What a sharp contrast to the proud and frivolous Mr. Ruan back then... Meng Qi suddenly felt such emotion and said, "We can use our good deeds to redeem the contract and ask Liu Dao to be a witness to ensure that the interests of the Cao family will not be harmed."
Of course the good deeds come from the Heavenly Lord!
Cao Xianzhi shook his head: "I really have an uneasy conscience and feel ashamed of my family for giving away the things in my forbidden area. I will hide the key points and your identity in this matter. Please make a decision, head of the family. You will wait for me here tomorrow. If he does not agree, I will avoid the matter and will not remind the family. I will only guard the magic weapon and my own treasure house. Whether you can take away the secret treasure depends on your own ability. "
Meng Qi took a breath and emphasized: "Without my news, the Cao family may not be able to discover the secret treasure for another hundred years. Now that we can get it out, everyone can gain something. It is a matter of mutual benefit. Brother Cao, please try your best to facilitate it." ”
Cao Xianzhi is not greedy, but as a family, the Cao family is extremely likely to be greedy.
After bidding farewell to Cao Xianzhi, Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei walked side by side towards the city gate and secretly sent a message: "It is very likely that the Cao family will refuse. Do we need to ask Tianzun to take action and forcefully break through the forbidden area?"
There is little certainty in this matter. If a person of great stature could easily break through the forbidden area of the Cao family, the Cao family would have been extinct long ago!
"Perhaps we can use the trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain." Jiang Zhiwei thought.
While they were talking, a figure hurriedly ran from behind the two people and ran towards the city gate.
"Huh..." Meng Qi was slightly surprised, this was an acquaintance.
"Know?" Jiang Zhiwei asked.
Meng Qi nodded: "He is a subordinate of a prince in the prairie."
This man is tall, with sparse hair and multiple tattoos on his body. He is Batu, a member of the Wolf Killing Society and the bodyguard of Agula, a descendant of the "Great Sun King"!
"Beijing is not far from the grassland. It is an important hub for trade between the north and the south. It is normal for grassland people to appear." Jiang Zhi slightly relieved her doubts.
Batu looked panicked, as if he was being chased by the enemy. Suddenly, his face turned blue, his throat made a heavy sound, and he fell forward.
Plop!
As soon as Meng Qi reacted, he found that he had stopped breathing!
The third update is here, the first update will be at 12:30 noon tomorrow~
