heaven money

Meng Qi smiled and said:

"Okay, what delicious food is there in Yicheng? I'll go buy some to go with the wine."

"There's a Wufenglou nearby. The pork head and braised beef in soy sauce are both very good."

Qi Zhengyan thought for a moment and said.

Meng Qi walked out of the backyard and stepped onto the street under the gaze of the shopkeeper and his clerk. He stopped a passerby and asked:
"Brother, how can I get to the Ye family?"

The Ye family is the top local family, and the location of their mansion is well known to everyone. Meng Qi found the door with almost no effort.

It is backed by a river running through the city, with houses connected together, shady trees and quiet bird songs. Compared with the noisy streets of the morning market, it seems like the suburbs, a great place to find peace and quiet in the midst of hustle and bustle.

There were nearly ten servants and guards guarding the gate of Ye's mansion. Some of them were big and strong, while others looked very smart. The two leading ones were both experts in all four arts, showing the background of their noble family.

Meng Qi walked around the wall and found that the Ye family's defenses on the periphery were not as good as those of the imperial palace and the prince's mansion where they had just experienced a mission. After all, the head of the family and important figures were all masters of eight or nine orifices, and could deal with most raids on their own. Therefore, it was only necessary to arrange guards and servants near them, arrange strict defenses in important courtyards, and have good fighters follow the young masters and conduct daily patrols in the mansion. There was no need to have masters of intelligence guarding every few steps on the outer wall.

——The number of their enlightened masters is not enough to be so luxurious. The Imperial Palace and the Prince's Mansion concentrate most of the world's human and material resources.

Going around to a hidden place covered by green trees, Meng Qi listened attentively, then pushed himself with his left hand, climbed over the wall, and landed behind a rockery.

Not long after, a group of servants came by for patrol. As it was not long after dawn, they were scattered. Meng Qi did not even use the "Immortal Seal" and just watched them go away.

The "Phantom Demon Body Technique" was unleashed, and Meng Qi transformed into a series of afterimages, running towards the nearby yard.

In the yard, a servant was doing morning exercises. His skin was as bronze as a bronze and sweat was flowing. Suddenly, his eyes blurred and he saw a figure in green clothes appear in front of him, like a ghost in the daytime. Before he could see the other person's appearance clearly or shout for help, he was hit by Rongxue's acupoint-pressing hand and fell on his back.

Meng Qi released his spirit, coordinated his hand and body seals at the same time, and made eye contact with the servant.

The servant only saw a pair of dark and deep eyes. At first glance, it seemed like a lake, calm and without waves, but upon closer inspection, it was full of whirlpools, sucking the man's body and mind in. The person in front of him was getting taller and bigger, terrifying and majestic, like a god or demon.

Meng Qi used his mute point as an excuse to ask calmly:
"Which courtyard is 'Ghost Sword' Li Sui in? How do I get there?"

The servant was unable to mobilize his internal energy to fight back, and said in a daze: "In Lanxiang Courtyard, there are guests everywhere... Cross the bridge opposite, turn right and go to the third courtyard..."

He explained in great detail, including that Li Sui was a master of seven orifices, and that the nearby guests basically had six orifices or above. Once they were discovered, they would be besieged.

Meng Qi had no intention of killing innocent people. After asking for the route, he directly pressed the servant's sleeping point and threw him back to his own room. With his green robe fluttering, he walked with his hands behind his back towards Lanxiang Courtyard.

Along the way, after practicing the Eight-Nine Profound Art and the Immortal Seal, Meng Qi's senses became sharper and his spirit became stronger. He was always able to detect the patrol teams first and avoid them in advance. Although he was running fast, he felt like he was strolling in his home. In addition, his magic body skills were special, so if anyone saw him, they would only think that they were dazzled and saw an illusion.

It didn't take long for Meng Qi to see the plaque of "Lanxiangyuan". Just as he was about to slip in, a courtyard next to him creaked open and a white-haired old man stepped out.

At least a master of the Seven Apertures would restrain his breath and hide his voice at all times... Meng Qi took a step forward, his figure was like a demon, shrinking the distance into an inch, and pointed his long sword with its sheath towards the white-haired old man.

The white-haired old man had never expected to be attacked suddenly. He only saw a green shadow before he found himself in front of him. The light golden scabbard reflected golden light under the morning sun. The changing light and shadow were eye-catching. Combined with the continuous changes of the sword, there were phantoms everywhere and at all times. It was hard to understand and figure it out. He had no idea how to deal with it, because if he could not grasp every phantom and every change, he would suffer defeat.

He had no mind to call for help as his whole body and mind were focused on dealing with the sword. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and he kept backing away until he leaned against the door panel. Only then did he clapped out with both palms, changing with the movements of the sword. It was really difficult.

Suddenly, the sword shadow disappeared, and the long sword returned to its ancient simplicity, without any changes, and pierced straight into the palm of the white-haired old man without any frills.

The old man couldn't stop his attack in time, so he had to push out his palm force to hit the tip of the sword.

His face changed, and he felt that the tip of the sword was empty, weak and powerless. After the palm power surged out, it was like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, leaving no trace.

He stumbled forward feeling weak and powerless. Suddenly, the tip of the sword surged with great force, like waves crashing against the shore. The feeling of internal force was extremely familiar!

At this moment, when he had just released his palm power and the new force had not yet taken effect, the true energy from the sword tip rushed into his body, quickly blocking all the major acupoints, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Meng Qi did not hide it either. He quickly seized the opportunity, turned around and jumped into the Lanxiang Courtyard, heading straight for the left wing. In the entire courtyard, only the sound of breathing could be heard from there, which must be the sound of a master.

The maid was walking in the yard carrying a copper basin when she suddenly saw a green shadow flash by. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared.

Even in the daytime, she felt a chill and her scalp tingled. Was it haunted?

——If they hadn't done it in the yard, which would have alerted Li Sui and given him a chance to escape, Meng Qi would have definitely pressed her acupoints.

boom!
The door was kicked open. She looked closely and saw a green shadow flash and enter Master Li Sui's room.

Li Sui was sitting cross-legged in meditation, moving his Qi around his body, with an extremely narrow and thin sword placed across his knees. When he heard the sound of the door being knocked open, he grasped the hilt of the sword and was about to jump up.

At this moment, a long sword emitting cold air pierced five inches above his head. It seemed to have inexplicably deviated from the target and attacked the empty space, but Li Sui was shocked, because after he jumped up, he would "collide" with the tip of the sword with his eyebrows, which was tantamount to suicide.

He quickly used a heavy weight to suppress the enemy's leap, and swung his sword horizontally, trying to force the enemy back.

The sword light was flashing in all directions, vaguely and shadowy, but the real sword was hidden in the darkness, no longer a ghost.

The tip of Meng Qi's sword suddenly bent downwards, "driving" the whole person into the air, head down, feet up, avoiding the horizontal slash and stabbing Li Sui's Baihui point.

The posture is weird, like that of a demon.

Oops, I fell into a trap! Li Suigang used the heavy weight to hold himself down. Facing the sword above his head, he could not change. He had to grit his teeth and use his strength. With the help of the swung sword, he leaned forward and rushed forward.

At this moment, Meng Qi's sword flew out of his hand at an increased speed, piercing through the back of Li Sui's head with a "puff" sound, pinning him to the ground.

The figure turned around and landed gracefully. Meng Qi drew out his sword, raised his toes, grabbed Li Sui's sword in his hand, and ran out of the door.

The two fought for only a breath, and the maid had no time to react. She watched Master Li Sui die before she woke up from her dream:
"There are assassins!"

The sharp sound startled the guests in the nearby courtyards. Some of them came out of their houses, while others stopped practicing and listened attentively to identify the direction of the sound.

Meng Qi brushed past the maid and ran out of the courtyard without looking back. His green robe fluttered and he used all his magic skills to move forward like a ghost or a demon. He dodged the patrolling servants and returned to the rockery where he came in.

It was not until this time that the guests arrived at Lanxiangyuan where Li Sui lived. They only saw a panicked maid and Li Sui collapsed in the room, with blood mixed with white slowly spreading out.

Apart from that, nothing in the room was damaged.

"Where is the assassin?" someone asked anxiously while checking the body.

The maid was so frightened that she said tremblingly, "She killed Master Li and left."

"When was he killed?"

A guest official asked. "I saw him kicking the door open and shouting when he killed Master Li..." The maid answered the question irrelevantly.

The guests were shocked. They rushed over when they heard the maid's cry. In just a few breaths, the assassin killed "Ghost Sword" Li Sui? He was a master of seven orifices who had just completed the inner world and had excellent swordsmanship!

"Chase!"

"Go and report to the head of the family!"

The guests were divided into two groups, and those who were chasing Meng Qi found out after they left the courtyard that they had no idea which direction to chase in!
They hurriedly asked the servants nearby, but none of them saw the figure in green.

Meng Qi jumped out of the outer wall and flashed into the nearby street. He put Li Sui's sword into the package where Xie Jie was, inserted Bing Que, and walked leisurely towards Wufeng Tower. There were more and more pedestrians on the street, and the morning market was bustling.

After he took a few steps, screams, shouts, and sounds of running came from the Ye Mansion, which seemed to be in chaos.

Hehe, Meng Qi smiled and turned into the street leading to Wufeng Tower at a moderate pace.

Knowing that the current strength of the warriors in Yicheng is no more than nine orifices, and even using the clan's treasured weapons is only half a step away, Meng Qi, who has enough trump cards, is very confident and has the idea of ​​showing off his prowess in front of others. Killing one person in ten steps and leaving no trace in a thousand miles, isn't this the image of traveling the world with a sword in his dream?
What "Thunder Blade Mad Monk", what "Rampant King Kong"! It's all pure slander!

By the time the Ye family had assigned their men and chased out of the mansion, Meng Qi's back was no longer visible, and there were many scholars in green robes and carrying swords on the streets.

Carrying the braised beef and pork head, Meng Qi quickly returned to the nearby Huanhua Rice Shop. However, the people from the Ye family had not yet searched here and were still checking for the Qingshan swordsmen near the Ye Mansion.

"Here, a bag for you." Meng Qi greeted with a smile and threw a bag of specially separated meat to the shopkeeper and the waiter.

The shopkeeper and his clerk hurriedly expressed their gratitude, feeling that Mr. Qi's cousin was much more generous than his own cousin.

After entering the yard and pushing open the door, Meng Qi saw Qi Zhengyan wiping the dust off the jar of wine, which was obviously aged for many years.

He opened the red paper that sealed it, and a mixture of the fragrance of osmanthus and wine emanated from it, making Meng Qi unable to help but take a few more breaths.

"You're back so soon?" Qi Zhengyan asked casually. He felt that Meng Qi was unfamiliar with the place and it would take him some time to find the way.

Meng Qi put down the pork head and braised beef with a smile, sat down with a swagger, poured himself a bowl of osmanthus wine, drank it in one gulp, then picked up a piece of pork head and braised beef and put them in his mouth to chew. One was fat but not greasy, and the other was very chewy. They were both delicious.

"Good wine! Good meat!"

He praised, unwrapped the package, took out Li Sui's sword, put it on the table, and smiled at Qi Zhengyan:

"I picked up a sword on the way."

Qi Zhengyan took a closer look at the sword on the table, his eyes narrowed slightly. Although he already knew through the Demon Lord's inheritance that Meng Qi was the fish of the Demon Buddha Ananda, he did not expect that Meng Qi's current strength would improve so rapidly. He was indeed a talent favored by Shang Yi!
Then he pretended to lose control of his expression, which was extremely exciting. After a moment of silence, he asked in a low voice: "Ghost Sword?"

"Yes." Meng Qi drank and ate meat with an indifferent look on his face.

Qi Zhengyan fell silent again and did not ask about Li Sui's fate. He became famous for his Ghost Shadow Sword and he never left the sword. If the sword was here, he would either be disabled or dead. There was no significant difference between the two.

The reason why Qi Zhengyan did this was to confuse the "God's will" who was paying attention to Meng Qi.
Qi Zhengyan was going to help Shang Yi's Morota establish the No. 8 Pawnshop in the real world. Naturally, he already had some authority over the pawnshop and could borrow some of the power of the No. 8 Pawnshop or even the Black Lotus of his soul.

If not for this, Qi Zhengyan would not have been able to have foresight and prepare the strength to treat his cousin in advance!

Although he wanted to prevent his cousin from suffering this disaster, Qi Zhengyan was very clear that for the script of "God's will", small trends can be changed but big trends cannot be violated, and now Meng Qi's growth is the big trend!

Relatively speaking, although Qi Zhengyan knew a lot with the help of the Demon Lord's inheritance, and even had the power of the Black Lotus of his soul to help cover up, it was precisely because he knew these truths that he felt powerless and desperate, just like the great beings in the realm of creation who viewed this as a sea of ​​suffering.

Meng Qi, on the other hand, is ignorant and fearless. Only now can he have the mentality to show off his virtue in front of others and roam freely in the world.

Of course, it is this fearless mentality that has created such a Meng Qi!
This is also the reason why Shang Yi did not choose to tell Meng Qi everything. The mentality in martial arts practice is very important.

Why is it that those powerful families and sects have so many geniuses and ample resources for skills, but it is difficult for truly strong people to emerge?

It is because he is bound by inherent powerful ideas and has no real world of his own, just like the emperor's son who is imprisoned by the great emperor's rules in the world of Shrouding the Sky.

"I just found this jar of wine in the cellar..."

Qi Zhengyan said in a low voice very cooperatively.

"hey-hey."

Meng Qi laughed. This was exactly the reaction he wanted from Qi Zhengyan. The wine hadn't been opened yet, the person had been killed, and the blood was still warm. This was the style of a swordsman.

He enjoys these feelings, but will not pay a great price for them. He usually just does it as the situation warrants and will not give up. In his heart, he is always rational and sober. He will never exchange them for something flashy or something he will naturally possess sooner or later just for the sake of prestige.

If Shang Yi were here, he would probably secretly complain about his "reckless and cowardly nature".

Qi Zhengyan handed the Ghost Sword back to Meng Qi. This was his trophy:
"Thank you!"

At this time, Qi Zhengyan's mentality had already changed from the cautiousness of the past. He didn't care about the possibility of the Ye family's attack. At the same time, he also used the No. 8 Pawnshop to see the future scene, and he agreed with Meng Qi's statement:

“The Huanhua Sword Sect is not a pure Buddhist place like Shaolin. It must put doctrine and scriptures as the top priority and will definitely protect its own secular interests first.

You are the symbol of Huanhua Sword Sect in Yicheng. Although you have no power or authority to force the Ye family to hand over the murderer, you can only watch them protect the murderer. After all, your cousin is not a disciple of Huanhua Sword Sect. But if it were the other way around, how dare they come to your house and force you to hand over the murderer? This is tantamount to declaring war on Huanhua Sword Sect. Even the Zhou Junwang family would not dare to risk such a full-scale conflict! And they would not want to provoke the Six Gates and make things worse.

As for assassination, I don't think they dare to do it now. The situation is not calm now. You can't secretly find a master of underworld, kill him and escape far away, and let the Huanhua Sword Sect hunt you down, and then you can hide it from the world. If something happens to you now, the sect will definitely send people, and once they know the truth, they will go straight to the Ye family.

No matter what your uncle-in-law was thinking or what benefits he received, he can no longer hide the fact that a leader was killed. The truth will come out sooner or later."

Seeing Qi Zhengyan's calm expression, not worried about him killing Li Sui, he raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself:

"It seems that Senior Brother Qi has changed a lot!"

Qi Zhengyan exclaimed:
"Thanks to my cousin for taking action. If you hadn't used his own method to retaliate, I would have to wait for a while before I could avenge my cousin!"

Meng Qi drank another bowl of wine:

"No, no! Cousin, don't worry. Even if Huanhua Sword Sect doesn't even support you in something like this, then why do you still want to stay in such a bullied sect? Just follow me and travel the world and settle scores as soon as possible."

"I believe that our sect will protect our disciples."

Qi Zhengyan's expression relaxed a little. To be honest, he was not strong before because he was afraid that the helpers sent by the sect would discover his secrets. But now he had his "cousin" Xiao Meng, so when he encountered something that needed to be done openly, he would step forward, and the danger of exposing himself was greatly reduced.

Although his "Devil Prison Mysterious Embryo Sutra" can perform any martial arts, such as the Xiao Wuxiang Gong, but who knows if the elders of the sect who came here have any special means, what if they are also people in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Space? (End of this chapter)
