"Wow~~~"

Tang Jing, who was paying attention to Heilian in the spiritual world, suddenly heard the sound of water flowing. When he came back to his senses, he suddenly found an illusory river floating around him.

When he was about to speak, he found that the scene had changed again, and he was standing in the family's Guanlan Hall, holding a familiar long knife in his hand - Canglan Dao.

At the same time, the voice of the pawnshop owner Moro came to my ears:

"Tang Jing, twenty years of life in exchange for twenty years of martial arts insights and skills of the ancestors of the Tang family!"

If you look at the barrier, you will see that the Shang River has capsized and zigzagged out of the city, just to watch the mountains.

Standing in the Guanlan Hall, looking at the undulating river surface and the lights under the night, I feel that the sky is high and far away and the world is beautiful, and the fireworks of thousands of families are flowing into the river. At this moment, worldly life and worldliness are integrated into one.

Looking at the bronze mirror next to the Guanlan Hall, he suddenly found that his appearance had changed and turned into the appearance of Tang Pochen, the ancestor of the Tang family, "River Rifting Sword" in the portrait, but he was much younger.

Closing his eyes, Tang Jing's thoughts and memories about the Lijiang Sword Technique filled up in his mind. He couldn't help but practice it in Guanlan Hall. Although his sword skills were unsatisfactory due to his life as a dandy for many years, he was now possessed by the old man. The body of the ancestor has the martial arts understanding of the ancestor.

Tang Jing's Rijiang Sword Technique also became more and more proficient with practice, and the true meaning of the sword technique became more and more in line with his heart!

Yicheng left home in humiliation and walked around the world in anger. He saw some people he shouldn't have seen being caught, tortured and disfigured, and even assassinated by Bu Renlou's gold medal killer. Now when he returned home, he learned that his beloved grandfather was seriously ill and in a coma, and other elders of the Tang family The struggle for power and profit has made the family a mess.

"When~~~"

There was a ringing of bells somewhere, but it did not affect Tang Jing who was practicing martial arts.

The depression, unwillingness, and resentment in Tang Jing's heart were all integrated into this sword, and it was angrily slashed out in Guanlan Hall. It was like all the tribulations and difficulties were like the huge waves of the Canglan River, and they were cut through by Tang Jing with one sword, and the giant wave in front of him was broken. The waves also break the huge waves in my heart!

After making this slash, Tang Jing seemed to be a completely different person. His original cowardice, resentment, unwillingness, and fear were all cut through at this moment, as if he had been broken and then reborn!

Moro on the lotus platform nodded and said:

"That's right, it's not in vain that I used my Heart Bell to help you realize your enlightenment. If you can enlighten me, you will be like a prodigal son who can't exchange for gold!"

However, you have to remember that today's pawned life span means that you have lost twenty-five years of life. Your normal life span should be 70. Now that you have lost twenty-five years of life, your age is also twenty-three. In total, you are only Twenty-two years of life left!

I hope you can break through the outdoor scenes to replenish your lifespan during this time, or get treasures to redeem you for twenty years! "

After hearing this, Tang Jing bowed his hands and said:

"Thank you! I will definitely not die like this. I will come to redeem my twenty years of life!"

At this time, Tang Jing had obtained Tang Pochen's twenty years of martial arts insights and twenty years of skill, and he directly opened the nose orifice and reached the six orifices realm.

This gave him higher expectations for the future. Although it was unlikely that he would be able to break through to the outside scene within twenty years with his qualifications, he believed that he would be able to get more opportunities by being able to pawn in No. 8 Pawn Shop, which would allow him to Become more powerful, and your qualification potential exceeds that of the past!

Just like himself now, although he may not be able to reach the outdoor scene, with his current martial arts understanding and potential, he is still confident that he can reach the peak of the Nine Apertures or even half a step of the outdoor scene!

This is a state that no one in the Tang family in Yicheng has reached in many years.

······

"Gudong~~~Yeah!"

After waking up, Tang Jing forgot that he had fallen into the river, so he accidentally took a few sips of the river water that smelled of blood.

Fortunately for him, the smell of blood in his place did not attract any water animals from the bottom of the river at this time.

Holding his breath, Tang Jing grabbed the bottom of the boat and swam upward carefully.

Boom!

The slight sound of the deck reached Meng Qi's ears.

What's going on? He finished his exercise and went out with his sword in hand. The white snow outside reflected the moonlight, and everything was cold and quiet.

Meng Qi searched for a while and found a man near the deck. His clothes were in tatters and covered with dark blood.

"Young Master Tang?"

Meng Qi recognized Tang Jing's identity and exclaimed in a low voice.

Tang Jing looked at the approaching young hero, slightly twitching the corners of his mouth and said:

"Young hero, we meet again! I, Tang Jing, hope that young hero will not tell anyone that I am still alive!"

At this time, he could sense that the Meng Qi in front of him was no weaker than himself, so he did not take action easily.

Meng Qi looked at Tang Jing with strange eyes and said:

"Don't worry, Mr. Tang Jing, I won't say anything casually!"

Immediately, my heart moved. The young master Tang Jing in front of me seemed to be the young master of the Tang family in Yicheng. Didn't I go to Yicheng to help senior brother Zhengyan?

With the help of Mr. Tang Jing, it seems that everything will be smoother!

The two quietly returned to Meng Qi's room. Tang Jing cupped his fists and said:

"Thank you, young hero. I wonder what I call you, young hero?"

Meng Qi nodded and said:

"This is Meng Qi!"

Tang Jing nodded when he heard this and said:

"Thank you very much, Mr. Meng, for your help. I see that you are also heading to Yicheng this time. I want to hide here with you and return to Yicheng secretly. I also want to ask Mr. Meng for help!"

Meng Qi was slightly relieved when he heard this. Fortunately, he didn't say his names as "Thunder Sword Crazy Monk" and "Mang King Kong"!

At this time, observing Tang Jing closely, he immediately saw that something was wrong with Tang Jing's face, and he was shocked!

"Human skin mask? Is the person in front of me fake!?"

Tang Jing saw Meng Qi's expression and reacted immediately. He smiled bitterly and said:

"Meng Shaoxia, I am Tang Jing without a doubt."

He took off the human skin mask on his face with his right hand, revealing his real face and the facial features after wearing the human skin mask. The only difference is that his real face is covered with criss-cross wounds. Although they are not new wounds, they are difficult to heal due to their deep wounds. After scarring and wrinkling, they are even more hideous and terrifying.

"When I first entered the world of martial arts, I thought I could be free and unrestrained, but I didn't expect to be caught and tortured, and even asked Burenlou to assassinate me. It's really..."

Speaking of this, Tang Jing did not continue.

Meng Qi didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, but bowed and said:

"Sorry!"

Tang Jing had experienced the incident at the No. 8 Pawnshop, and his strength and character had improved. He had put this matter aside and said:

"Although some things have happened to my Tang family recently, it is still one of the four major families in Yicheng. If Young Master Meng needs help when he arrives in Yicheng, I will do my best to help!"

It's not that Tang Jing suddenly became enthusiastic, but he knew that Meng Qi was very powerful. If he could introduce him to the situation in Yicheng, it would definitely disrupt the calculations of the people behind the scenes, and eventually make the Tang family win!

And Meng Qi actually knew that Tang Jing had some plans in mind, but Qi Zhengyan happened to be in a mess in Yicheng, and he also wanted to go to help.

Meng Qi then bowed and said:

"Thank you, Mr. Tang. My cousin is a disciple of Huanhua Sword Sect. He just went to Yicheng to be a steward. I am going to go and see him!"

Tang Jing was moved when he heard this and said with a smile:

"It is really a fate with Mr. Meng. Among the four great families in Yicheng, my Tang family and Wan family are close to Huanhua Sword Sect. So we are also one family!"

The building ship went up the river and entered the tributary Ya River. Not long after, it arrived in Yicheng. Further ahead was Ye City.

Because the killing of the Iron Hand Demon was too conspicuous that day, no one came to harass Meng Qi during this period, so Tang Jing was able to hide. After arriving in Yicheng, they left the remaining boat fare in the room and left at night, making it unclear where Meng Qi got off the boat.

Carrying a package on his back, Meng Qi looked like a scholar who had come to visit his relatives. At dawn, he paid the door tax and stepped into the not-so-big but prosperous Yicheng.

As for Tang Jing, he quietly hid his tracks and entered the city, preparing to secretly observe the situation in the city to find out what happened.

Qi Zhengyan was easy to find. Meng Qi got the location he wanted by just asking a man who looked like a hero where Qi, the head of Huanhua Sword Sect, was. He walked over slowly, looking around, and bought a string of candied haws from time to time.     The plaque of "Huanhua Rice Shop" jumped into his eyes. Meng Qi straightened his hat and clothes and walked in with a smile.

It was early morning. Qi Zhengyan was wearing a green robe and ordered the shopkeeper and the clerk expressionlessly. Suddenly, he saw a handsome boy coming in at the door. His face changed slightly and his surprise was beyond words.

The shopkeeper and the waiter rarely saw the dead face of Qi, so they turned their heads and saw Meng Qi smiling brightly and enthusiastically saying, "Cousin, I'm here to join you!"

Qi Zhengyan's mouth twitched, and his face recovered. He said in a brotherly manner, "Come with me."

He turned and walked towards the backyard. Although Meng Qi had always told him that he would come to join him, who knew that he would come so quickly and suddenly.

The shopkeeper and the waiter were surprised and strange to see that it was Qi's cousin. They even forgot to say hello, which made Meng Qi a little confused.

After entering the backyard house, Qi Zhengyan closed the door and poured a cup of tea for Meng Qi: "Junior Brother Meng, aren't you still in Xuanwu?"

During the previous communication, Meng Qi mentioned that he was eating with Zhang Yuanshan in Xuanwu.

"Brother Zhang, a tall tree attracts the wind. I'm here to seek refuge with Brother Qi. Are you not welcome?" Meng Qi deliberately said in a teasing tone, "By the way, we are cousins, so we can't let it slip."

Qi Zhengyan's face twitched: "It's not that I'm not welcome, but you should come to see me quietly first and discuss the excuse."

"Uh, what's the problem with my cousin?" Meng Qi once asked Qi Zhengyan. He bought land and property for his parents in his hometown, but he didn't take him to his side. After all, the position of the head is not fixed, and he may be sent to other places to guard the property outside the assignment at any time.

Since his parents are not here, it shouldn't be a problem to pretend to be a cousin, right?

Qi Zhengyan shook his head: "My cousin came to seek refuge before, and he got into trouble. Suddenly another cousin came, which always attracts attention."

"No wonder the shopkeeper and the clerk have strange expressions."

Meng Qi suddenly realized:

"The last time we met, I saw that Brother Qi was worried. Could it be the cousin's trouble?"

He took the opportunity to complete Jiang Zhiwei's entrustment.

Qi Zhengyan's expression dimmed a lot: "It's a long story."

"Then tell it slowly." Meng Qi stared at Qi Zhengyan's eyes.

Qi Zhengyan knocked on the table: "There are two leaders in our sect in the city, one is the leader and the other is the deputy."

"I know, you are the deputy, and the leader is your uncle." Meng Qi continued.

Qi Zhengyan clasped his hands: "When I first came, my uncle was very wary of me. Later, seeing that I was silent and honest and often stayed at home, he gradually handed over the rice shop and some fields and farms to me to manage."

The Huanhua Sword Sect has vast fields, many villages and shops in the city. To a large sect, it is nothing. But in the eyes of ordinary disciples in the awakening stage, just grabbing a little bit can make themselves rich and resources will no longer be tight. .

Therefore, the uncle of the Huanhua Sword Sect was initially wary of Qi Zhengyan trying to use him to gain his position. However, as time went by, he found that he was taciturn and liked to practice martial arts behind closed doors, and was quite honest, so he shared some of the money that he did not have. Give him such important rights to prevent him from being unable to stay any longer, applying to return to the mountain, and having a deputy who is difficult to deal with.

"Cousin, you don't care about this. The extra income is just a windfall. It's for those who are popular and drink spicy food." Meng Qi strengthened his title to avoid calling him by mistake when he was outside.

Qi Zhengyan shook his head and said: "I am very satisfied with the current situation. I have extra money to buy properties for my parents and brothers, but the situation in Yicheng has changed."

"Huh?" Meng Qi probably understands Qi Zhengyan's worries. He is afraid of losing the stable life in the main world, unable to practice martial arts and improve with peace of mind, cope with the tasks in the reincarnation world and the idea of ​​becoming famous in the future.

"Although the city is small, it is backed by Yedu. There are many merchants coming and going, and it is bustling and lively. There are four major families, Tang Ye Lingwan, and the Ye family. The Ling family is attached to the Zhoujun Wang family. They want to suppress us and erode our industry here, and the Tang family The Wan family is close to the sect, and they are in the same spirit, advancing and retreating together, maintaining the balance of the city. "

Qi Zhengyan's worries had been hidden in his heart for a long time, and finally Meng Qi asked him, "A month ago, the old man of the Tang family was seriously ill and could not manage the affairs. Several sons were fighting. Some wanted to rely on the Wang family, and some wanted to ask us to come forward. People were panicked. , the undercurrent is turbulent.”

"Since then, people from all families have gradually become alienated from us. I don't know what happened in the meantime."

Meng Qi frowned slightly: "You, the Huanhua Sword Sect, just have to express your attitude and fully support one person. There is nothing to worry about, right?"

"This is the meaning of the faction, but if you want to support me, you must compete. I am not afraid of most of the masters in the city, but my performance in the faction is mediocre, and I have no backing. If I suddenly show strong strength, it is easy to attract people." Suspicion!

If I had the experience of traveling far away, I would be able to say something else, but the progress of my practice is always in the eyes of the elders in the sect. If I suddenly show my strength, I either have different intentions or have secrets, which is not a good thing! "

Qi Zhengyan showed a hint of sadness.

He had already practiced the "Demon Prison Mysterious Embryo Sutra" at this time. Although he could use the technique to cast a bronze bell in his body and evolve into all kinds of techniques, he had already mastered all kinds of sword techniques in his sect, but it was difficult for him to show it off.

Meng Qi laughed: "It's a trivial matter. My cousin will take care of the future battles. When you encounter a strong enemy that you and your uncle cannot defeat with their apparent strength, you can still ask for more help from the faction."

"Yes." Qi Zhengyan nodded slowly. With Meng Qi here, most of his concerns would no longer matter.

"What happened to your cousin?" Meng Qi asked.

Qi Zhengyan rarely showed his annoyance:

"Half a month ago, my cousin came to Yicheng to seek refuge, but one night he was picked off by Li Sui, the guest of the Ye family, the 'Ghost Shadow Sword', and his hand tendons and hamstrings were broken. There were both witnesses and physical evidence, but the people of the Ye family said that we deliberately framed him with false accusations. I found someone close to me to give perjury to protect Li Sui. My uncle was afraid that the matter would get serious, triggering a direct conflict between the Ye family and our sect, and causing the Wang family to intervene. He advised me to cure my cousin first, and wait until the matter of the Tang family is settled. Let’s make further calculations.”

Meng Qi frowned slightly:

"What is the attitude of your Huanhua Sword Sect?"

"Uncle Master didn't report it."

Qi Zhengyan's eyes showed murderous intent, and then he said:

“My martial arts are special, and I have the means left by Senior Brother Huai Kong, so I cured my cousin.

It's just that the situation in the city is chaotic now, and I'm worried that his life will be in danger if he stays here any longer, so I sent my cousin back to his hometown in the name of recovering from his injuries. "

Meng Qi nodded and asked: "How strong are the four Tang Ye Lingwan families?"

"It has been passed down for a long time, and there are precious soldiers to suppress the family. However, for many years, there has not been half a step outside. The power has shrunk and cannot go beyond the scope of the city." Qi Zhengyan said simply, "But after all, it is an aristocratic family, and there is no shortage of resources and accumulation. Eight orifices, nine There are many masters of skill.”

Meng Qi nodded gently and smiled:

"I have good news here. When I came here, someone hired Bu Renlou to assassinate the second son of the Tang family, Tang Jing and the Wan family. Master Tang Jing survived, and realized that there was something wrong with the Tang family, so he hid in secret to observe the situation. Maybe We can work with him!"

Qi Zhengyan's eyes lit up when he heard this and he said:

"Good news indeed!"

"Let's not mention the unhappy things for now, cousin, you have to treat me to a drink of Jie Feng Wine!"

"I'm going to make a jar of sweet-scented osmanthus wine." Qi Zhengyan said with a dull expression. (End of chapter)
