Chapter 687: Meet After Dusk
The woman in red hurriedly swallowed a pill and sat cross-legged on the spot. Her face was filled with green energy, and there were traces of sword light lingering on her body. If she encountered someone with bad intentions and weak strength, she could inspire and injure the enemy on her own. .
Meng Qi sat in the chair, looked her up and down, and found that her main wound was under the chest, as if it was injured by a Qimen weapon such as a water thorn. It was short, narrow and deep, almost piercing through the back, and the blood was pocketed by the sword energy. , not much dissipation.
"After the news about the ruins of the Nine Heavens, the Shendu Formation is in a semi-activated state. Once there is any sign of stimulating the power of heaven and earth, it will be immediately noticed by the Six Gates and the Political Hall..." Meng Qi's mind flashed instantly. Draw a picture and outline the causes and consequences.
Spy, follow, encounter in the dark, suppress each other, long swords and strange weapons come and go, figures shake, in the end the woman in red named Sun Yuexiu lost a move and was stabbed in the chest, breaking the protective aura , barely escaped with his life...
"It is rumored that Bai Ning, who holds half of the entrance map to the Jiuchongtian ruins, lives in seclusion. The imperial court and the powerful men from the six gates are secretly watching and restraining each other. Why on earth did she have a life-and-death fight with others?" Meng Qi suddenly laughed at himself. Anyway, it was already early. Just decided to stay out of it, what's the point of speculating on the reasons?
He had heard of Sun Yuexiu's name, probably from the generation of Ten Sweethearts and the others. At the end of the Four Peaks of the Biyue Sword Sect, he should have passed the first level of the ladder.
He stood up, pushed out the door, and checked the scene in the courtyard. If he could help, he would help. If he couldn't help, everyone was not related to him, and he was inexplicably involved, so he was really in no mood to wade into troubled waters.
There were a few drops of blood in the courtyard, and there was only a low hum of insects everywhere. Meng Qi sensed it slightly and found that no one was chasing him.
"It seems that we have got rid of the pursuit, but at the last moment we really couldn't hold on and couldn't let the blood leak out. Because we were worried that the enemy would notice it, we asked for help." Meng Qi initially judged the overall situation and saw that it was a simple effort, so he asked for help. Taking it to heart, I flushed it with a basin of water and sprinkled some soil to cover up the smell.
Sun Yuexiu was groggy. She relied on her will to protect the Niwan, Xuanguan and Heart Veins, mobilized her true energy, blended the power of the medicine, and alleviated her injuries. Her mind was dimming and brightening, flashing through scenes from her previous encounters.
It was windy and rainy, and the night was dark. I found the clues by myself and followed them in the dark...
At the corner of the alley, there was suddenly a dark light, which was silent and silent, like an invitation from Yama, which made people's hair stand on end...
He barely dodged the stabbing blow, but the opponent struck one blow after another, like a violent storm, and it was perfect. He, who had always been proud of his swordsmanship, didn't have the strength to fight back...
Both sides had a tacit understanding and did not dare to mobilize the power of heaven and earth. However, they were still retreating steadily. Seeing that they were outnumbered, they had no choice but to transform into the blue moon and wash the blue sky to confuse the enemy and escape through the water. However, the enemy seemed to have expected it and entered the water in advance, giving himself a chance. The fatal blow, but fortunately I had extraordinary dexterity, and without the internal scene being shown, I forcibly turned around, turned back from the water to the shore, and fled back in panic...
I changed directions several times on the road, and finally couldn't hold on anymore when I arrived at the yard...
The terrifying dark light, the fierce moves, and the flawless offensive echoed in Sun Yuexiu's heart over and over again, and finally settled on the water-splitting thorn that pierced the chest, and blood quickly overflowed!
Sun Yuexiu opened her eyes suddenly and gasped for air, as if she wanted to spit out the panic in her heart.
What a terrible enemy!
When the power of heaven and earth cannot be mobilized and the gap between everyone's realms is minimized, how can I still be suppressed like this? The other party's vision, knowledge, mastery of the principles of moves, and the speed and strength brought by the tyrannical body are probably better than many. Grandmaster is strong!
After a few breaths, she came back to her senses and suddenly looked towards the window. She saw that the wind and rain outside had stopped and the night was quiet. Inside, the young man in green shirt was sitting on a chair with an umbrella and a small package in front of him.
"Master, I'm really sorry just now. I shouldn't have implicated you unless it was absolutely necessary." Sun Yuexiu reluctantly stood up and thanked him with his hands.
The power of Meng Qi's physical body can be hidden, but it cannot be completely eliminated without changing it. At first glance, he seems to be an expert, so she came to seek help.
Seeing that her attitude was acceptable, Meng Qi was in a calm mood and had no intention of teasing or complaining. He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of effort."
Sun Yuexiu coughed twice, his eyes sparkling and full of apology: "Although I am sure that the enemy has been got rid of, I can't guarantee that he will not find this way. My son helped me just now, but I really risked my life."
"Risk of life?" Meng Qi laughed, "In our Jin Dynasty, the universe is bright, the sun and the moon are shining, the capital of gods is at the foot of the emperor, the most virtuous capital, it is understandable to encounter robbers on the road, who dares to attack the inn?"
Sun Yuexiu's expression suddenly froze on her pretty face, and there was an incommunicable feeling. It seemed that she had never seen anyone who believed in the court so much.
She sighed secretly, and then reminded: "The city of God is undercurrent, and there may be something big. The inn is not a safe place, and it may become a place of trouble. Master, if nothing happens, please leave as soon as possible."
Meng Qi smiled and pointed to the umbrella and package on the table: "I met my friend today and am planning to leave at dawn. If the girl is in danger one day later, I'm afraid I won't be able to find anyone to help."
"That's very good." Seeing that Meng Qi had already decided to leave, Sun Yuexiu calmed down, saluted solemnly, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Master, for your help. It's just a small expense. If you have any difficulties in the future, come to Biyue Mountain in Northern Zhou Dynasty. I will definitely help you." Great help.”
The promise of a strong location man is not worthless.
Looking at the two gold coins she handed over, Meng Qi almost couldn't help laughing and accepted them with a smile.
Sun Yuexiu relaxed slightly, said goodbye and left, returned to his room to continue healing, Meng Qi casually stuffed the gold ingot into the package for show, closed his eyes and rested, waiting for the city to open at dawn.
After a while, the Taoist with a wooden hairpin returned, with a slight limp on his left foot, and glanced at Sun Yuexiu's room with a vigilant expression.
"Pa pa pa, there was a sound of knocking on the wooden board from afar, like a night watch, or as if singing at night, and it sounded nothing wrong at first.
The Taoist with a wooden hairpin listened carefully and found nothing unusual, so he returned to his room with a limp and closed his eyes to heal.
Meng Qi ignored it, holding the "Tao Te Ching" in his hand, and quietly reading "The way of heaven is to reduce the surplus and make up for the deficiency, but the way of man is not so, to reduce the deficiency and serve the surplus".
In order to figure out the weirdness, he read this first Taoist scripture so seriously for the first time.
"Pa pa pa, the sound of the wooden board gradually came, and Meng Qi frowned slightly, something was wrong!
If it was a normal scene, as long as he was not fully alert, communicated naturally, and understood the various laws between heaven and earth, he might not be able to detect the strangeness of the wooden board sound, but Meng Qi was sensitive and had tasted the subtle changes of heaven and earth. Moreover, with a partner like Ruan Yushu, even if he didn't understand music, he had some understanding of this aspect!
"The evil sound that specifically arouses the blood and qi of the injured..." Meng Qi narrowed his eyes.
In addition to Sun Yuexiu and the Taoist priest Mu Zan, there are probably many ordinary people who have been injured for various reasons. The evil sound is indiscriminate and catches them all!
Really malicious! Meng Qi listened attentively, "reading" the changes in the laws of heaven and earth, and bent his left hand, ready to go.
Pa Pa Pa, the sound of the wooden board just sounded halfway, Meng Qi followed the wonderful changes of the qi and knocked down with his left hand.
Thump!
The sound was not loud but thorough, and it spread straight away for a long distance, and the sound of the wooden board stopped abruptly.
After a while, the sound of "knock, knock, knock" sounded again. Meng Qi sensed the change and knocked "law" again at the key point of the rhythm connection.
Knock!
In the alley in the distance, in the dark shadow, an old man with a hooked nose spit out blood, staining the black wooden board in his hand red.
His white hair was messy, and he said to himself in fear: "There is a master living in seclusion in Gou Yufang!"
The sound of the wooden board disappeared completely, and the night returned to peace.
The Taoist priest with a wooden hairpin, who was less injured, showed a look of doubt and looked at Meng Qi through the wall.
Meng Qi closed his eyes and let him spy.
After a long time, there was a faint light in the sky. Meng Qi suddenly moved in his heart, and his spirit spread, sealing the room and isolating the inside and the outside.
"What is coming will always come..." Meng Qi sighed, operated eight or nine, and sensed the cry in the dark. This is the power of the contract!
The green lamp was old, and the fire was only as big as a bean. In a flash, it jumped up and made a crackling sound. The light outlined a figure in a white dress, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, delicate and ethereal, slightly tilted head, smiling, pretty and charming, it was the Daluo demon girl Gu Xiaosang!
"It's been a long time, my husband, do you miss Xiaosang? I often miss my husband so much that I can't sleep." Gu Xiaosang opened her lips slightly, her teeth were like woven shells, and her tone was full of affection.
Are you thinking of harming me... Meng Qi muttered inwardly, and said calmly: "Miss Xiaosang, are you here for the Nine Heavens Ruins?"
"My husband, you are still so unfamiliar." Gu Xiaosang showed a wronged look, and suddenly, she smiled, better than a hundred flowers blooming, "I understand, my husband is flirting, just like other couples, always calling each other brother and sister, sweethearts, since you call me Miss Xiaosang, should I reply Mr. Su, Mr. Meng, or Brother Zhending?"
Her voice was so soft and coquettish that Meng Qi couldn't help shuddering:
"Speak to the point!"
"The point?" Gu Xiaosang put her right index finger on her cheek, "I wonder if my husband has gained anything from studying the collection of Shangshui Narcissus? I am still looking forward to the exchange."
Her eyes were deep and full of smiles, as if she was teasing Meng Qi.
Before Meng Qi got angry, Gu Xiaosang straightened her face slightly: "My husband, now is a great opportunity to explore the Nine Heavens ruins. Where are you? I'll come to find you."
"I'm in the capital of the gods." Meng Qi said concisely.
Gu Xiaosang's eyes were rolling, and she was drunk: "We are really destined to meet each other. I'm also in the capital of the gods. Tomorrow night, by the Jinshui Bridge, the moon is on the willow branches, and we'll meet after dusk."
Meng Qi chuckled and suddenly asked: "Did you deliberately spread the news about the Nine Heavens ruins in the capital of the gods?"
Gu Xiaosang's eyes narrowed into crescents, and she smiled: "If there is anything, we can talk about it tomorrow."
The firelight dimmed, the figure disappeared, and everything returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
Meng Qi was in a trance, thinking about many things.
When the morning came, Meng Qi, carrying a package and wearing a green shirt, stepped out of the door, and happened to see Sun Yuexiu welcoming a woman in green with ordinary eyebrows, but with a sharp and extremely scary look in her eyes.
"Sir, are you leaving?" Sun Yuexiu asked.
"Yes." Meng Qi nodded with a smile.
The woman in green smiled and said, "I am Yuexiu's senior sister. I just arrived today. On behalf of the master, I would like to thank you. Please tell us your name so that we can remember it in our hearts."
Sun Yuexiu's senior sister likes to wear green clothes. Meng Qi knew who she was in an instant, Ren Jingxiu!
More than ten years ago, she was famous for her swordsmanship and occupied the first place on the human list for two years. Now she is only one step away from the master. She is the best master of the Xiu generation of the Biyue Sword School!
"I never leave my name when doing good things." Meng Qi laughed and walked past them without paying much attention. He left the inn and planned to find Yuan Lihuo to make some guarantees for his meeting with Gu Xiaosang.
"This young man has quite a chivalrous spirit." Ren Jingxiu was stunned and praised him.
Sun Yuexiu looked at Meng Qi's back and nodded slightly: "It's a pity that he missed the best time to practice top-notch skills..."
