heaven money

"I wonder if you have any unfulfilled wishes. If so, let me fulfill them for you..."

As this thought came to his mind, Meng Qi was suddenly startled. The surroundings seemed to become illusory and dark, and the threads of cause and effect were like spider silk.

He seemed to understand something. He raised his head, looked at the setting sun, and said to himself:

"I am always one step away from a breakthrough. Besides the fact that I am not yet mature enough and still need to be polished, I am afraid that there is also the cause and effect of my physical body. After all, martial arts practice is based on the physical body. The soul and the physical body are integrated, connecting the heaven and the earth, and the inner scene is manifested outside. If the physical body has more "constraints", it will naturally be difficult to break through..."

In order to figure this out, Meng Qi couldn't wait to look through the room where Su Ziyuan used to stay.

He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, stepped out of the door, declined the carriage, and headed straight for the Langya Marquis Mansion located in Qinqifang.

The Langya Marquis Mansion does not cover a large area, but it is quiet in a bustling city. The winding roads seem to lead to a secluded place, which can relieve people's worries. Therefore, it is also called "Jingyuan". The singing of birds makes the mountain more secluded, and the sound of the zither makes the mansion even quieter!
"Mr. Su, you are here?"

There was a man standing at the door, about seventeen or eighteen years old, a little childish. When he saw Meng Qi, he showed excitement and seemed honored to know him, which made the other young people at the door jealous.

Meng Qi thought for a moment and remembered who he was. He smiled and said:

"Xiao Zhong, how is it going? How is your training in the Ruan Mansion? Does Divine Doctor Zhong have more skills now?"

This person is Zhong Wei, the son of Zhong Taiping, the "Nine-Not Divine Doctor". With the help of Meng Qi, he enters the Ruan family as a guest official.

Zhong Wei straightened his chest, looking like he was telling them, "See, Kuang Dao knows me."

"The Ruan family treats people fairly. If you put in effort, you will get something in return. Compared to when I was at home, my strength has greatly improved. I opened my eyes half a year ago."

"My father has become a guest of the Ruan family and is currently in the capital."

Meng Qi nodded with a smile. It seemed that the eccentric Zhong Taiping finally couldn't resist the temptation of becoming an outsider and joined the Ruan family as a guest official. For him, although his family's martial arts would not be changed, his hopes would definitely increase greatly if he had the Ruan family's master or top expert to point out the key points and help him to figure out the omissions.

The Ruan family obviously also attaches great importance to Zhong Taiping, who has excellent medical skills.

"Congratulations, then."

Meng Qi said this casually, and the teenagers dodging near the door felt that he was humble and had the demeanor of a hero.

Zhong Wei smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. He hurriedly led Meng Qi inside and walked along the tree-lined path where the sound of piano was faintly heard.

Suddenly, he remembered something and whispered:
"Master Su, when Duan Rui was kidnapped, was there any follow-up?"

Duan Rui is a former Shaolin hunter who became possessed by the devil after practicing the Yi Jin Jing in reverse order and developed a demonic personality.

"No."

Whether through the Six Gates or other channels, Meng Qi had no news about Duan Rui.

Zhong Wei's voice became lower and lower:
"I went to Changchuan to visit the graves before the Lunar New Year. I seemed to have seen Duan Rui's back by chance, but I was in a hurry and couldn't confirm it, so I didn't tell anyone."

His expression didn't indicate that he couldn't confirm it; it was obvious that he felt he had to tell Young Master Su.

"well done."

Meng Qi praised.

Duan Rui is a traitor in Shaolin, and the matter is of great importance. It is a good thing that only Zhong Wei and I know his whereabouts at present. Then I will inform the master through my junior brother, and he will make the decision.

Or when the real Abbot Kongwen is rescued in the future and Shaolin restores order, the conspiracy will naturally not be able to proceed.

Nine months ago, Zhenhui, who had practiced the Flower Picking Finger to the sixth orifice, began to travel down the mountain. Unfortunately, Meng Qi went to Northern Zhou. Now Zhenhui is said to have opened the seventh orifice, and his inner world is beginning to take shape. With the power of the "Flower Picking Finger", the first of the 72 Shaolin unique skills, he is ranked in the top 20 of the human list, surpassing Yao Xingliu and Yao Xiaogui. Of course, he is still not as good as Yanghe, who is in the top ten with eight orifices.

Turning around the quiet path, there is a pond-like lake in front, with a small building built next to it. Following the undulating terrain, it conforms to the principles of heaven and earth and seems to be one with the vast water surface.

"Isn't it a banquet?"

After all, Meng Qi had been a guest in places like Suyuan. This should be a place for private reception, not a place for banquets.

Zhong Wei smiled and said:

"It was originally a private request."

Uh, Meng Qi frowned. Is it really important?
After entering the small building, the first person Meng Qi saw was an old man. He had a gaunt face and a half-white beard, but he was full of energy and did not look old at all. If he dyed his beard black, people would believe he was forty.

The old man had such a majestic aura that it seemed as if the small building was filled with the sound of an illusory piano, so Meng Qi subconsciously looked towards him.

Ruan Yushu stood beside him, still dressed in white, looking as pretty as a fairy from the Moon Palace.

The old man's eyes were sharp, and he seemed to have a clear view of Meng Qi. He stroked his beard and laughed:
"Yes, you have reached this level before you are twenty. I haven't seen this in many years. In the past, Su Wuming was also in his early twenties when he entered the Death Gate."

"Thank you very much, senior, for your compliment." Meng Qi acted respectful to the elderly and virtuous.

"This is my uncle, currently in charge of the Honglu Temple."

Ruan Yushu introduced.

Old Prince Ruan got married and had children late. Although Ruan Yushu's father was the legitimate son, he was the youngest of his generation and had a huge age gap with his older brothers. Therefore, it was normal for Ruan Yushu's uncle to look like her grandfather.

Meng Qi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Old Master Ruan had come. He was a well-known figure who had been in the top ten of the Earth Ranking many years ago. Even though he had retired to the Ruan family's ancestral home in Langya and had not made any moves for a long time, thus falling outside the top ten, no one dared to underestimate him.

Ruan Yushu's uncle laughed and said:

"My twenty-one-year-old wife is very picky and rarely praises anyone. I am naturally curious about her repeated expectations, so I took the liberty to invite you to meet me."

"Now that I have seen it, it is well-deserved of its reputation. I can leave now with all my heart."

He walked away laughing, without any intention of entertaining Meng Qi.

Meng Qi wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead:
"It is often said that there are many crazy people in the Ruan family. Today I saw that it is indeed true."

Ruan Yushu smiled faintly and said:
"I asked my uncle to see you today."

"what?"

Meng Qi looked at her in confusion.

"You return to the Su family today."

Ruan Yushu looked calm.

I'm afraid the Su family will embarrass me... Meng Qi was suddenly touched and said with a smile:

"Really smart, and does everything perfectly."

Ruan Yushu smiled slightly and said:

"Shang Yi and you have never been involved in the struggles among big families, so you just can't think of this aspect for the time being!"

After chatting for a while, Meng Qi mentioned the story of Wang Zai's father. The two were puzzled. The Wang family was a Confucian family and followed etiquette in doing things. It was really unlike their style to invite someone on the first day they returned home.

With this question in mind, Meng Qi arrived at Huanhou Mansion and met Wang Wenxian in the hall. He was Wang Zai's father, the current Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Revenue.

Wang Wenxian also has a square face, and seems to be cut from the same mold as Wang Zai, but he has a beard and his temperament is mature and profound.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he invited Meng Qi to sit down and eat. His every move was in accordance with etiquette, and he ate without talking. As a result, Meng Qi also became serious, but not troublesome.

After the meal, Meng Qi finally found an opportunity to ask:
"Uncle, has Brother Wang Zai come to Beijing?" He thought that it was Wang Zai who instigated his father to invite him, but now it seems that it is not the case as he thought before.

Wang Wenxian spoke calmly:
"Zai'er is rushing to the capital to attend the Qionghua Banquet."

"I wonder what the competition is about at the Qionghua Banquet?" Meng Qi took the opportunity to ask.

Wang Wenxian shook his head:
"The emperor has his own ideas, and I don't know them. I only know that important ministers or princes can bring one person to the banquet. Zai'er missed the last martial arts examination, so he wanted to take the shortcut through Zhongnan."

After Wang Zai lost to Meng Qi last time, he felt deeply inadequate, gave up the martial arts exam, and went on a journey.

The mysterious Qionghua Banquet... Meng Qi frowned and said:

"I wonder why my uncle invited me here?"

Wang Wenxian said:

"Zai'er has praised you in his letters many times. I am quite curious. What you said this morning really touched my heart."

"what?"

Meng Qi looked at him in confusion.

Wang Wenxian stroked his beard:

"You have lofty ambitions and are not greedy for titles. Others may think you are just bluffing, but I believe that is not the case. Even if there is no title, we can improve ourselves step by step. What can we not get?"

"The title is orthodox and cannot be messed up, but who in the Wang family can ignore my words today?"

Meng Qi began to understand that Wang Wenxian was afraid that his son's friend might make a mistake, so he used him as an example to encourage himself and to avoid internal strife in the Su family.

He is truly a powerful Confucianist...

"Thank you for your advice, uncle. I am devoted to martial arts, and wealth and fame do not disturb my mind."

Meng Qi said sincerely.

Wang Wenxian nodded:
"There is one more thing I must remind you of. The chief escort of the Zhongzhou Escort Agency had a history with me, but he died tragically outside the Divine Capital before I could receive the message for rescue. It seems that it was caused by Mie Tian Men and Luo Cult."

"You have grievances with them, so you should be careful. Although the capital of the gods is safe, it is not absolutely safe. As long as you act quickly and have a secret place to hide, you can still do something. For example, a while ago, a guest official of the Prince of Jin's Mansion was killed in broad daylight."

I was the one who killed him... Meng Qi said silently in his heart, frowning at the same time. The matter of Zhongzhou Escort Agency could attract Luo Sect and Mie Tianmen to visit, which seemed unusual. Gu Changqing was carrying half of the escort item, would he be in danger?
He pondered for a moment, and decided to believe in the "Haoran Qi" and Wang Zai, and told him the whole story of how he saved Gu Changqing.

"Find your friend as soon as possible and send him to my house." Wang Wenxian said without hesitation.

At present, Meng Qi didn't know where Gu Changqing was hiding. He only had a way to contact him. Wang Wenxian was in a high position and his every move attracted attention, so he didn't go to find him directly.

But he also promised: "If there is anything I need to do, just let me know."

Meng Qi thanked Wang Wenxian and returned to Su Mansion. It was already dark and the moonlight was bright.

He was pondering this matter as he walked very quickly, planning to contact Gu Changqing tonight. As he walked, he arrived at the river in the city and saw the rippling water.

Meng Qi's reflection in the water startled him suddenly. He and Wang Wenxian knew that the dart was in Gu Changqing's hands, but Luo Sect and Mie Tianmen didn't know. They might think he had swallowed it!
Oh no, the one in danger is not Chang Qing, but me... Meng Qi became alert, restrained his energy and spirit, and sensed his surroundings, fearing that Gu Xiaosang would jump out.

He left the riverside and planned to return to the Su Mansion first, and ask Wang Wenxian to go find Gu Changqing together tomorrow!
After walking a few steps, he suddenly felt inexplicably irritated. If he had not been on guard before, he would not have had this feeling!

At this moment, purple thunder flashed brightly, and a masked figure suddenly flew down from the nearby tree.

Nine Heavens Thunder God?

A mythical strong man in the background?
Boom!

The lightning sword slashed out five times at the same time, purple lightning burst out, engulfing the shore!

In just a moment, dark clouds covered the sky, making the surrounding area completely dark. The flowing river water was undulating under the reflection of purple light, with whirlpools from time to time, which was a terrifying scene.

Meng Qi's sight was filled with purple lightning. The lightning blade struck down from above, making five strikes at the same time, creating a terrifying explosion. It seemed that it was spreading in all directions with itself as the "core", clearing out everything and destroying everything!
Thunder explodes the Five Mountains?
Seven strikes of purple thunder?

The mythical Nine Heavens Thunder God!
Meng Qi's pupils contracted. He never thought that "Myth" would send people to the capital of gods, and be so bold as to attack and kill!

This is using the outside scenery as a knife to kill with one strike, just like he attacked and killed Yang Wuliang in broad daylight in front of King Jin!
He had originally been on guard against the strong men from the Mietian Sect and the Luo Sect, but unexpectedly he hit the mark and sensed the threat from the "Nine Heavens Thunder God". Otherwise, he would have had no time to react, and would have been struck by lightning with one sword, with no way of survival!

This is a huge gap in realm, which cannot be crossed by itself unless there is a secret treasure.

Moreover, Jiutian Thunder God is not a newcomer to the outer scene. In terms of combat power, he is probably above Ze Luoju!

Boom!

Thunder exploded, purple lightning swept across, and the long sword turned into a heavenly punishment with an attitude of destroying everything, slashing down from a distance. The changes fully demonstrated the majesty and terror of the thunder pattern.

At this moment, a flash of knife light jumped up from the ground, the dark clouds became thicker, silver snakes danced wildly, making the surrounding area look like the end of the world.

Boom!

The sword light also had five levels, fast, slow, heavy, fierce and false. Meng Qi was on guard and sensed it in advance, so he forced himself to react instead of waiting until the thunder "struck" before responding hastily.

If that happens, he will be doomed!
Rumble!
Green thunder gathered in the air and struck down with a bang. It was as thick as a bucket and came one after another like five thunders striking the top of the head!

This time, Meng Qi stretched out his sword and slashed from bottom to top. His long sword was mainly used to interpret the sky, accommodating changes and implying the state of the inner world. It was no longer a sword that guided the heavenly thunder, but a long sword that danced with the heavenly punishment, attacking the enemy from above and below!
The primordial spirit sat in the center, surrounded by the heavens, with the sun rotating outside. A chaotic hole emerged, and the long sword was dark and gloomy, like the sky before lightning, and like the boundless universe.

"Break it for me!" Meng Qi shouted in his heart, raising his momentum to its peak, and did not retreat at all when facing the outside scene.

If he dies, he dies. Why should he be crying and wailing? He won't have an easy time even if he dies!
Fight for a chance of survival with a desperate spirit!
Boom! A loud noise erupted, and everyone could hear it. The blue lightning fell into the purple lightning, and the void contained the sharp edge. Meng Qi only felt that the "Thunder Blade" suddenly became a hundred times heavier, and he couldn't lift it at all. Powerful purple lightning overflowed from the blade and struck his body.

The strong energy formed a wall, turning death into life. Electric light flashed all over Meng Qi's body, flickering unsteadily, and he felt numbness and pain constantly, and a light gold color appeared, resisting the invasion.

Over the past year, Meng Qi has used the first volume of the Yi Jin Jing to push the Immortal Seal and Dugu Tian Dao to the external scene level. If not, with the power of the Nine Heavens Thunder God, even if Meng Qi had also delivered a strike at the external scene level, he would probably have been shattered into pieces. But now, with their combined efforts, they have avoided defeat in one move!
Bang, bang, bang. The bluestone under Meng Qi's feet kept exploding and spreading in all directions. The two swords collided in mid-air, as if there was a brief freeze. Purple lightning and green snakes lingered, making the two men look like gods.

when!
In the distant sound, Meng Qi swept across strangely, dragging the remaining purple lightning, like a phantom demon, leaping out with a knife, and rushing straight into the river that seemed to be hiding a ferocious beast.

Humph! Jiu Tian Lei Shen was slightly surprised that his attack failed, but his men did not relax or pause at all. He pushed forward with his long sword, turning into a purple lightning dragon, and pursued violently, winning by speed. It was so fast that Meng Qi could not catch it at all, and could only sense a flash of lightning.

The rain fell with a loud bang, causing ripples in the river. With a slash from the Nine-Sky Thunder God, the river water split in half and stopped flowing.

But Meng Qi seemed to have anticipated this. As soon as he pounced, his aura suddenly became thin, as if hidden in a chaotic cave. He immediately broke free from the lock, and then made an incredible turn in mid-air and pounced in another direction.

Upon seeing this, the Nine-Sky Thunder God swung his long sword and threw it towards Meng Qi. It transformed into countless sword-shaped purple lightning bolts, covering Meng Qi and blocking all ways to dodge, treating him as a flying outsider.

However, a struggle suddenly flashed in the eyes of the Nine-Sky Thunder God, and a domineering look emerged, followed by surprise. The lightning that enveloped Meng Qi seemed to be fierce, but its power was slightly weakened.

Boom! The winter thunder roared, the sound was soul-shaking, Meng Qi's soul trembled, he was in a trance, as if he had returned to chaos.

The lightning pattern on the back of his hand was more prominent, purple and dripping, which neutralized most of the impact and allowed him to barely respond.

He had already half turned around, his expression full of fighting spirit, as if the escape just now was just a cover for the tough collision now.

"kill!"

Meng Qi roared, purple thunder burst out, sword energy gushed out, nine mad dragons entangled head to tail, crushing towards the sword-shaped purple lightning like wheels!
He has been able to perform two scene-level attacks in a row, even though it is slightly weaker now! (End of this chapter)
