It turns out that Gu Xiaosang found clues to the "myth"...
Nian Xue was a little uneasy as Meng Qi looked him over, and whispered:
"Sir, is there something dirty on the little girl's face?"
"No, I was just thinking that Xiaoyue in the weird mouth should be somewhat similar to you, Miss Nianxue."
Meng Qi withdrew his gaze and thought to himself that the "eating" Lao Zhong was doing was not the "eating" between the sheets, but real eating, swallowing flesh, blood, essence, and integrating into one body. Fortunately, he was discovered by Gu Xiaosang. Your whereabouts are exposed, otherwise, given time, you may not be able to escape.
"Hey, let me ask you what love is in this world."
When Bai Wenyuan heard about Lao Zhongtou, he couldn't help but sigh. He should have true love for Xiaoyue, but he didn't know why they separated.
Bai Wenyuan looks rough, but he is young and has an easily moved heart.
"Yes, the little lady thinks so too."
Nianxue signaled the sound of silk and bamboo to stop and asked Mr. Turtle to come in with his piano.
"I wonder how often that weirdo comes here and what time he likes?"
Meng Qi asked casually.
Nian Xue thought for a while:
"I'm not sure. It can take up to seven days, or one or two days. It's always at noon when there's no one around."
Has Lao Zhong been in Yingcheng for so long? Meng Qi was slightly confused. If Shinhwa wanted to take revenge on him, he must have decided on the location after hearing about the Xingyun Banquet. He would arrive at Yingcheng half a month in advance at most, unless they happened to have manpower here.
"How long ago was the earliest time he did it?"
Meng Qi asked.
Nian Xue recalled: "It should have been more than two months ago."
More than two months ago... there was no news about the Xingyun Banquet. Calculating the time, it was almost the time when Lao Zhong escaped from Dongyang Beppu. He fled directly to Yingcheng? Meng Qi said calmly:
"Then when was the last time he came?"
"It's noon today. Young Master left half an hour before you came."
Nianxue answered honestly.
"Su Meng, what's the point of caring about a man? Come on, drink!"
Yonoko Kei changed from his usual image and encouraged him to drink with boldness.
Meng Qi had enough questions, raised his glass, and drank with them.
When Nian Xue finished playing a song, Meng Qi laughed at himself:
"Su learned that Yingcheng was the former capital of the former dynasty when he visited Yanyu Mountain today. He is really ignorant."
He used this to introduce the topic.
"Hey, glitz and glamor always fade away with time, and Yingcheng is no longer the same as it was hundreds of years ago."
Mi Zijing said with emotion, "During the previous dynasty, my Mi family was still a rich man from the countryside, and was inconspicuous in Yingcheng. It was only through the opportunity of changing the world that we established our family business."
I am afraid that he has gathered the inheritance of many previous dynasty families in Yingcheng... Meng Qi thought thoughtfully and smiled:
"I'm afraid there are hundreds of years of constant rumors about this ancient capital."
"Of course."
Mi Zijing is a native of Yingcheng. When he mentioned the prosperity of his hometown in the past, he still talked with Yourong, and the conversation became lively.
"There are hundreds of rumors about the Han family in Yingcheng. It is said that Emperor Ai saw that several major families had deserted him at the last moment. He was unable to suppress it and was unable to support himself. He could only survive for a while at most, so he passed on the inheritance of the Han family to the secret treasure sect's confidants. The person hid it somewhere else, waiting for the situation to calm down, so that the escaped Han children could retrieve it. "
"It is said that he did not want the city to be destroyed and the country to perish, so he frantically sent people to dig up the Dragon Tower to look for the Human Emperor Sword. Although he did not find it, it was still quite fruitful. It seemed that he had condensed some secret treasure, but he was killed in the misty rain in the end. At the top of the mountain, it can be seen that the secret treasure has no effect. "
"It is also said that he had no time to move the treasure, so he asked the deceased members of the Han family to leave with their young son and inheritance in order to revive the family in the future."
"It is also said that he gave up on himself in the end and planned to contact the Nine Demons to fight against the abandoned aristocratic families and some sects that got involved."
Meng Qi listened attentively, and combined with Wang Siyuan's prompts, was the prince's goal a secret treasure or a treasure? Could it be that in addition to the birth of the True Emperor's Seal and the Human Emperor Sword, there is also the treasure of Emperor Ai?
Someone from the Han family must have escaped. Hundreds of years have passed, but where are they now?
Wang Zai was also very interested in the affairs of the previous dynasty. He kept asking questions and always tickled Zhongmizijing's itch, making him talk endlessly.
After listening to the rumors in Yingcheng, Meng Qi saw that Mi Zijing, Bai Wenyuan and the prostitute next to him were already entangled with each other, and Nian Xue seemed to be coming closer, so he stood up suddenly, cupped his hands and said:
"Su suddenly remembered that there was one more important thing to do, so he left first."
He was telling the truth, so he had to tell Jiang Zhiwei, be careful, Old Zhong, Shinhwa might not dare to provoke Su Wuming, but people who practice the Demonic Art are always crazy and have no sense. What can't they do?
And they have to send people to keep an eye on Xiuyue Pavilion and wait for the old clock to come again.
Mi Zijing was stunned:
"Wenxiang Nephew is also willing to leave?"
"The stakes are high and we must go."
Meng Qi was firm.
Seeing that he didn't hesitate at all, Mi Zijing and Bai Wenyuan couldn't keep anyone, so they could only nod in agreement.
Meng Qi turned around and said:
"Things are difficult, please ask Brother Wang for help."
"good!"
Wang Zai burst into tears of gratitude as if he had been granted amnesty.
Nianxue and Nianfeng sent the two of them out of the private room, and when they were about to leave the building, Nianxue came to Meng Qi's side and said with a low smile:
"The girl just now said that if the young master doesn't do anything, let the little girl praise you on her behalf."
"ah?"
Meng Qi's intuition was not good.
But Nian Xue has already said:
"My husband is a good monk..."
Meng Qi's face suddenly darkened, he pretended not to hear, left the big boat, got on the small boat, and approached the shore. Wang Zai wisely did not ask any more questions. After he got to the shore, he said sincerely: "Thank you, Brother Su Xian, for rescuing the siege." ”
"It takes a little effort." Meng Qi calmed down.
"Brother Su Xian, you really have something important? Do you need help?" Wang Zai felt that he should do something.
Meng Qi shook his head, not wanting to involve Wang Zai in the "Mythology" matter: "It's just an excuse. I plan to go to Jiange and then return to Xingyun Village to practice."
Wang Zai nodded and said, "In that case, Brother Yu will take his leave."
The two of them split up. Meng Qi hurried along the Tianxiu River in the direction of Jiange. After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped and looked towards the middle of the river.
This place is far away from the most prosperous place, and there are fewer buildings and boats. At a glance, the water is undulating, and in the middle of the water, there is a small boat drifting with the current. On the boat sits a young man in green clothes, with a large jar of wine in front of him, drinking facing the moon.
He is in his twenties, has an average appearance, an elegant temperament, and a bold and unrestrained posture. He drinks wine as if drinking water, and sings songs from time to time. There is a bit of youthful white on his head, which makes him feel like a fairy after many vicissitudes of life. Elegant and carefree, like a green lotus blooming slowly between heaven and earth.
Although he did not recognize this person, Meng Qi still vaguely guessed his identity. He originally planned to go to Yingcheng to challenge him, but now things changed at any time, so he went to the Xingyun Banquet first.
"Young Master Qinglian" Liusu, the direct descendant of the Huanhua Sword Sect!
Turning his head, Meng Qi decided to rush to Jiange first.
"My friend, we meet in Jiang Zuo, why don't we come and have a drink?" At this moment, Liusu smiled drunkenly. He noticed Meng Qi's gaze and sensed his energy, knowing that he was not an ordinary person.
Meng Qi thought about it, and took this opportunity to ask Senior Brother Qi if he had found the local leader of the Huanhua Sword Sect, and reminded him to be careful about Old Zhong, so he laughed loudly: "Master Qinglian's wine must be a fine wine, how can you miss it?" ?”
He broke off two dead branches from the nearby tree, jumped up, and flew gracefully across the river like a bird approaching the river.
Tianxiu River is relatively wide, and the boat is located in the middle of the river. Meng Qi has already started to fall after crossing less than halfway.
As the waves floated, he threw a dead branch out of his hand, floated on the water, tiptoed a little, and flew into the air again. After two sticks in a row, he landed opposite Liusu and sat on the other end of the boat.
Next to the wine jar, there was a clean and empty bowl, as if Liusu had already prepared it.
"Does the Young Master have another guest?" Meng Qi felt that Liusu could not have made a special trip to wait for him.
Liu Su patted the wine jar, and a stream of wine turned into a flying spring, falling into the empty bowl, just filling it up, no more, no less. Even Meng Qi couldn't help but marvel at this control.
"I brought wine to fight with others, but he broke the promise and had to drink alone. Fortunately, I met you." Liusu picked up the wine bowl and said elegantly but boldly, "Although we don't know each other, we became drinking buddies after drinking."
Meng Qi also picked up the bowl and felt that the wine was fragrant and light green in color. It was an extraordinary product: "I'm here, Su Meng."
The two of them touched the bowls, and each drank. Meng Qi felt that the wine entered his throat, turned into a thread of fire, and flowed into his stomach. Immediately, the lingering fragrance spread, the warmth was suffused, and it was mellow and sweet. He said: "Good wine!"
"Lou Wai Lou Misty Brewing, I've had this jar for thirty years, and I'm shameless enough to get it." Liusu laughed with satisfaction, as if praising his wine made him happier than praising him himself.
Meng Qi also patted the wine jar, causing a flying fountain to split into two streams and fall into their respective bowls, no more or less, just enough to fill the bowl.

This control is no worse than Tassel!
Liusu chuckled and said, "I heard from Junior Brother Qi, have you ever wanted to spar with me?"
"Yes, Senior Brother Qi is also in Yingcheng?" Meng Qi asked knowingly.
Liusu patted the side of the boat: "However, if Xingyun's banquet is not coming soon, we can each bring ten jars of wine and slowly taste the wine and discuss martial arts."
"There will definitely be opportunities in the future." Meng Qi paused and said, "Please tell Senior Brother Qi that Lao Zhong, who has a bad relationship with him, appeared in Yingcheng."
Liusu nodded, without asking any further questions, and raised his bowl to drink with Meng Qi.
After drinking three bowls in a row, Meng Qi did not deliberately use his internal energy, but asked with a hint of drunkenness: "I wonder who the young master made an appointment with before?"
It must be extraordinary to have an appointment with Young Master Qinglian. Meng Qi saw the undercurrent in Ying City now, so he asked more questions.
Liusu looked at Jiang Xin and sighed: "The 'King of Thieves' Sikong Tu."
"King of Thieves?" Meng Qi is no stranger to this name. He is a well-known figure in Liumenhai. He has been famous for many years. He has half-stepped in outdoor scenes. He is good at light kung fu, concealment, and traps. He has stolen a lot. I have also dug many graves, and I was hated by the master of suffering.
"When I traveled to Jiangdong before, I encountered Sikong. I tried to capture him, but in the end I was unable to do so. I had to split the score. He was also a good drinker, so we often had bets and fights. If I won, he would wash his hands of me. , if I lose, I will help him To do something that does not violate the rules of the sect, so far, we have had five bets and all have ended in draws." Liusu drank a bowl and thought about the past, "Sikong asked me to fight here today, but he didn't show up. Maybe I got caught up in something else.”
Meng Qi nodded. The "King of Thieves" was also in Yingcheng. It was really possible to meet a master at any time here.
Suddenly, his heart moved for no reason. Sikong Tu was known as the King of Thieves. Could it be that the true emperor's seal that could find the Human Emperor Sword was on the body of the King of Thieves and was brought to Ying City by him?
The more he thought about it, the more Meng Qi felt it was possible.
But the Thief King didn't come, either because he was hiding with the True Emperor's Seal, or because something unexpected happened and someone caught up with him.
After drinking seven or eight bowls of wine with Liusu, Meng Qi hurried to Jiange. He stood up to say goodbye and glanced at the boat, trying to find something to stop him on the way.
"Why do you need this? I'll give you a ride." Liusu drunkenly pulled out his long sword, his expression was full of sacredness, and he chanted loudly:
"Flying down three thousand feet..."
With a slash of the long sword, the river suddenly roared, the waves surged into the air, turned and pushed the boat to the shore. The wonderful force and the skillful use of momentum made people feel that the tassels can mobilize the power of heaven and earth for their own use. Misunderstand.
Liusu didn't say goodbye with much courtesy, but turned around and patted the boat, sailed towards the middle of the river again, and said loudly: "A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date..."
Meng Qi looked back and sighed, those who can unite nature and man really have their own courage and feeling.
When they arrived at Jiange, Meng Qi met Jiang Zhiwei and told him the truth about what happened to Lao Zhongtou.
The details cannot be kept secret, Mi Zijing and Bai Wenyuan will definitely publicize it.
Jiang Zhiwei had a hard time holding back her laughter and nodded: "I know how to be careful. By the way, my uncle Hong has arrived at Ying City."
Meng Qi felt relieved. Hong Qian, the "Broken Star Sword" of Xijiang Pavilion, was the real one, Su Wuming's senior brother.
After leaving Jiange, he walked along the Tianxiu River and planned to return to Xingyun Village.
As he walked, he saw the building boat of Xiuyue Pavilion again.
"They actually sailed here?" Meng Qi was a little surprised. This place is close to Yuehu Lake and Yanyu Mountain, and few high-rise ships come here.
The building boat docked, the lights were dim, and it seemed that there were very few guests, or they were all sleeping.
Meng Qi suddenly felt something in his heart and ducked behind a tree.
He looked around and saw a window opened, and a man in black robe jumped out. Then Mi Zijing appeared and closed the window. His face was full of solemnity, and there was no trace of his previous unrestrained behavior.
The man in black robe has the iconic rosacea. He seems to be extremely afraid of being followed. He continuously changes his body shape and slowly blends into the darkness.
And Meng Qi felt that someone was trying to get him.
Meng Qi did not take any action because he did not want to mess with other people's affairs. He had enough troubles. Mi Zi was secretive and could not be related to Jin Wang Zhao Yi.
In silence, Meng Qi passed by this place and returned directly to Xingyun Village, meditating and practicing, trying to figure out his moves.
…………
In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight shone into the small courtyard where Meng Qi was.
Meng Qi woke up and felt that the sky was clear and the air was clear, and he felt comfortable. Everything he encountered yesterday seemed to be a thing of the past.
This made his mind clear, and he suddenly had inspiration:
"Senior Brother Qi was not killed by the 'Blessing Heavenly Palace'. Wouldn't the people from 'Mythology' have thought that he would inform me?"
"Zhiwei and I have already met, so this matter must have spread to Xijian Pavilion..."
"Uncle Hong from Xijiang Pavilion has come to Yingcheng. Judging from Liusu's attitude, masters from the Huanhua Sword Sect may also come..."
"'Shinhwa' will really come to deal with me?"
As he thought about it, Meng Qi's eyes narrowed slightly. The myth had not been successfully silenced, the matter had been exposed, and they were just venting their anger. Would they continue to act at such great risk?
If it were me, I'm afraid I would give up temporarily and find another opportunity. It's not that important anyway.
"But Lao Zhong still showed up in Yingcheng..."
"Is it simply hiding in the local area, or does Shinhwa have other plans? Is the magician also interested in the true emperor's seal?"
Meng Qi suddenly thought that since the leader of the mythology was named "Emperor of Heaven", he might also be very interested in the inheritance of the Human Emperor. After all, the Human Emperor almost replaced Heaven with humanity back then.
At this moment, the servant of Xingyun Village sent a letter, saying that it was from a child nearby.
Meng Qi was confused, so he checked it first before opening the letter. He saw it written in delicate hairpin-flowered small letters:
"Twenty miles east of the city, in Longpan Mountain's Grave Valley, the whereabouts of the devil are revealed."
Gu Xiaosang’s letter? The whereabouts of Old Zhongtou? Meng Qi's hand holding the letter tightened involuntarily.
Meng Qi had never seen Gu Xiaosang's handwriting, and it was obviously impossible to judge his identity simply from his handwriting. But just yesterday she discovered Lao Zhong's whereabouts, and today she got clear information. It's hard not to make the connection. .
The simplest, clearest, and most consistent inference is that after discovering Lao Zhong, Gu Xiaosang sent someone to follow him quietly and determined his destination or hiding place. Worried about an ambush or trap, Luo Jiaoyu This person's strength is not sufficient, so he informed himself first and let the righteous people test the danger.
Of course, it may be that "Shenhua" deliberately sent the letter to retaliate against himself, but two conditions must be met first. The first is that they discovered the connection between themselves and Gu Xiaosang, and the second is that they believe that they have found Lao Zhong. This is why it is written in female handwriting and lured by the whereabouts of demons. Taken together, it is probably extremely low. (End of chapter)
