Chapter 48
Chapter 48
The name of the mysterious man was Qu Ping. At this moment, he only felt that the humiliation he had suffered could not be healed, and he wished to kill Meng Qiqi with a single sword.But he couldn't, so Qu Ping was even more aggrieved.
When Meng Qiqi turned sideways again and accidentally drew the killer's attack to him, he had to tell the position of Insanity in exchange for Meng Qiqi's cooperation.
He was telling the truth, and he didn't have the heart to improvise one under such an urgent situation.
Meng Qiqi was also straightforward, and immediately stabbed the back of a man in black behind Qu Ping with the sword in his hand, with quick precision and ruthlessness.He glanced at Qu Ping's guarded eyes, and while pulling out his sword, he comforted him, "Don't worry, I, Meng Xiu, never contradict my promise."
Qu Ping had no choice but to trust him, so the two teamed up and cut a bloody path in a short while.
The swaying drizzle suddenly became heavier.
The scattered corpses fell on the ground, and the bloody water gradually stained the path paved with stone slabs red, and then flowed into the river along the stone cracks.The killer came in two groups, dozens of people, but they still couldn't stop Meng Qiqi and Qu Ping.
After a stick of incense, the killers left the last body and finally retreated.
Meng Qiqi knelt down and carefully examined the body of one of the killers, trying to find some clues from him - such as a tattoo, a token.
But the killer's body was empty, without anything to prove his identity.Standing in the back, Qu Ping laughed at Meng Qiqi's unnecessary actions, "If you dare to kill someone in Jinling City in broad daylight, how could the other party leave any clues to expose you?"
"Then brother Jin, what's your opinion?" Meng Qiqi asked back.
Where did Qu Ping come from, the wet black clothes stuck to his body, and the pure white mask could not express the slightest emotion, but it revealed a strong sense of scrutiny.He stood like this in the rain, holding the sword that had just drank countless blood in his hand, looking at Meng Qiqi.
He seemed to be considering whether to fight Meng Qiqi or not.
The final answer was "no", he turned and left without saying anything.
The killing here has finally come to an end temporarily.The turmoil in the martial arts arena in the center of the lake was turbulent, but it was far from over.
Xiao Yu'er and Tu Youqiong each lead nine ways, temporarily ranking first.But what surprised Tu Youqiong was that his junior was still alive and well after being struck by lightning, and his ability to withstand it made Tu Youqiong ashamed—he almost squatted on the ground with his knees in his arms and cried loudly, but Xiao Yuer didn't. Crying, he had no choice but to force back the tears, not to mention how pitiful his red eyes were.
It's just that the effect of Tianlei quenching the body is good, but the situation of directly breaking through the environment like Wang Ziling never happened again.
By noon, many disciples of the great faction who had held back their moves also made moves one after another.They have spent a lot of time comprehending the formula, and the effect of using it is naturally better.
Among them, Jiang Xie from Beidoumen and Wang Zi'an from the Wang family were the most impressive.
When Jiang Xie came to Jinling, it was in the second level of the small perfection realm. After the trip to the secret realm and the lion banquet, he was always stuck in front of the barrier of breaking through to the great perfection, and he was about to break through.Today, when the sky thunder quenched his body again, he became the second person who broke through the realm after the prince's spirit.
As for Wang Zi'an, although he has not broken through, the grand occasion of attracting thunder is not weaker than Wang Zi's spirit.Wang Ziling had never seen the Fenglei Jue, but Wang Zian had.As early as half a year ago, Wang Jing asked him to practice this tactic, at first he didn't know why, until today, he didn't understand all the reasons.
Wang Zi'an didn't bother to use this method to win, but he couldn't tell the truth in public.Then eighteen bolts of lightning struck him from the sky, submerging him in the electric light. While enduring the pain, he was also temporarily liberated from the inner struggle.
Wang Ziqian, who also practiced the Fenglei Jue half a year in advance, did not go well. His aptitude is poor and his meridians are narrow. If his body is quenched by lightning, he will suffer several times the pain of others.
It's not that he can't bear hardships, but he knows that no matter how hard he works, it is impossible to achieve the shocking effect of Wang Ziling.It is impossible to break through two realms in a row to attract attention, and it is impossible to attract countless thunders to come out on top.
He couldn't help pursing his lips tightly, and quietly clenched his fist hidden in his sleeve.He just needs an opportunity. When he joins Gu Shutong's sect and improves his qualifications, he is confident that he will not be worse than anyone else.
Never.
Thinking of this, he looked up to the seventh floor, and Gu Shutong appeared next to Wang Changlin at some point.Although there was no joy on his face, and Wang Changlin only nodded flatly when he was talking to him, but no one could stop thinking about his purpose of appearing here.
Gu Shutong and Lu Yunting haven't accepted any disciples yet, so why did he come to the Immortal Kowtow Conference?Is it coming...
"Gu Xiu." Wang Jing said with a sullen face, "I asked you to explain this morning, why did you refuse? But you look down on me?"
"Juniors don't dare." Gu Shutong clasped his hands and replied, his words showed due respect, but he didn't explain a word.
How could Wang Jing let it go, but Wang Changlin stepped between the two at the right time, saying: "Elder, the person who came is a guest. Maybe Brother Gu is just on a temporary basis, and the elder doesn't need to worry about it."
"Oh?" Wang Jing was suffocating in his heart, and instead of being angry, he smiled, "According to the Patriarch's opinion, as the great elder of the Wang family, am I not even qualified to entertain distinguished guests?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.The patriarch of the Wang family and the elder hall seem to be at odds with each other, which is really unexpected.
"Where is the elder?" Wang Changlin cursed secretly in his heart, "the old thing made a mistake", but he still had to maintain respect for him on the surface.He lowered his eyes with a wry smile, concealing the coldness in his eyes, and said, "I'm ashamed to say, but I actually invited Brother Gu on my own initiative this time."
As he said that, he looked up for another week, with sincere eyes, "You must have noticed that the dog's talent is not good, no matter how hard he tries, he has not yet broken through the first level of perfection. As a father, you must worry about your children. But in the past few years, I have been busy with family affairs, so that now facing my son, I feel a little ashamed."
Wang Jing wanted to open his mouth to refute, but no one spoke, after all he didn't want to make too much trouble with Wang Changlin, so he had to hold back.
Wang Changlin continued: "I think you may have guessed the reason why I invited Brother Gu. Wang has nothing else to ask, but hopes that Brother Gu can accept the dog and teach him a lesson. Wang will be very grateful."
The monks immediately understood that Wang Changlin had taken a fancy to Gu Shutong's Spring and Autumn Jue.It is well known that the Spring and Autumn Art can nourish the meridians and improve people's aptitude, but Gu Shutong is so famous, there are thousands of monks who want to worship under him, how can you Wang Changlin just worship?
Countless eyes gathered on Gu Shutong in an instant.
Everyone was waiting for Gu Shutong's answer, but his heart was not at peace.Yesterday Wang Changlin told him that as long as he agreed to accept Wang Ziqian as his disciple and teach him the Spring and Autumn Art, Wang Changlin could provide clues about the whereabouts of his wife and daughter.
That was the family he had been looking for for many years, how could Gu Shutong not be tempted?Even if he might get involved in some unnecessary disputes because of this apprentice, he has no choice.
Forget it, Gu Shutong sighed in his heart.
At the same time, Wang Changlin beckoned to two servants holding the brocade box. The brocade box was opened, and the contents inside were displayed in front of everyone along with Wang Changlin's words of determination.
"These are the Millennium Jade Blood Jade and the Evil Resisting Orb, which are in my private collection. If Brother Gu agrees, these two items will be considered as a small favor of mine. I hope Brother Gu will accept them with a smile."
Millennium Jade Blood Jade and Evil Repelling Orb? !
Everyone was astonished that these two things were in Wang Changlin's hands, and he was willing to give them to Gu Shutong.Even Gu Shutong himself was stunned. Wang Changlin didn't have to take out such treasures, but he took them out anyway, at least with some sincerity.
Perhaps, he was really just anxious about Wang Ziqian's matter, so he had to use that matter as a bargaining chip.Being both fathers, Gu Shutong couldn't help feeling a little sympathy for each other.
If his daughter was in the same situation as Wang Ziqian, he would not hesitate to search for famous teachers and spiritual herbs all over the world.
Thinking of this, Gu Shutong's expression softened a little.He doesn't want to be so polite, as long as Wang Changlin tells him the news, he will definitely teach Wang Ziqian carefully.
Watching the change in his expression, Wang Changlin knew that the matter was about to be completed.
Sure enough, Gu Shutong said: "Patriarch Wang, I know what you mean, if that's the case, then..."
However, before Gu Shutong finished speaking, a slender silver light suddenly pierced through the air, pointing directly at Gu Shutong!
Gu Shutong retreated in a hurry, and the silver light barely brushed the bridge of his nose and stared at the pillar behind him.Everyone can see clearly that it is a small silver hairpin. The workmanship of the hairpin is not fine, only a few flowers of unknown species are carved at the end, other than that, there is no decoration.
"Who?!" Wang Changlin's stern gaze swept across the void, and he shouted.But there is no one in the void, only lightning and thunder, and the wind and rain are like darkness.
Wang Changlin frowned. He had a premonition that this matter was not simple. The hairpin would not come sooner or later, but it happened to interrupt Gu Shutong's words at this juncture.No, he must settle the matter immediately.
But when he turned around, he found that Gu Shutong was stunned in place, with excitement and bewilderment appearing on his face at the same time, making this long-famous swordsman lose his composure in front of others for the first time.
"Brother Gu..." Wang Changlin felt bad, but before he could bring himself back to his senses, Gu Shutong pulled out his hairpin and rushed out in a hurry.
Wang Changlin couldn't stop him, so he could only watch him leave.
"This is..." Everyone was as puzzled as Wang Changlin, whispering to each other in twos and threes.They are all elders from various sects, and there is no need to act according to Wang Changlin's face, so Wang Changlin, who was the protagonist just now, was thrown aside, so angry that he could no longer hold a smile on his face.
Wang Jing sneered in his heart, but on the surface he said in a business-like manner: "Gu Xiu must be busy with other things, so let's put aside the matter of apprenticeship for now. It's not early, today's competition may have results soon, please continue to be patient wait."
Everyone turned their eyes to the outside of the tower, which seemed to relieve Wang Changlin's siege, but Wang Changlin had the desire to crush Wang Jing to death.And that Gu Shutong, who dared to leave him here without explaining a word, did he really think that Wang Changlin was a fool!
In this regard, Chen Wujiu watched from the sidelines from the beginning to the end, without saying a word.
On the balcony, Wang Ziqian waited and waited until Wang Changlin announced the news that Gu Shutong had accepted him as a disciple, and wished he could rush into the tower to ask about it himself, but Wang Zi'an on the other side had completely withstood eighteen thunderstorms, his clothes were tattered, and he was in a state of embarrassment back on the terrace.
Wang Ziqian gritted his teeth, forced himself to calm down, went up to him and asked him how he was with concern.Wang Zi'an shook his head at him. At this moment, Master Yi Nian, Xu Mengyin, Zhong Wu and others performed the magic formula one after another. For a moment, lightning flashed everywhere in the world, like a huge thunder array that compared the center of the lake. Stage surrounded.
Xiao Yu'er looked from here to there, his eyes were full of splendor, he couldn't help but tugged on Chen Boyan's sleeve, and said, "Brother, why don't you go?"
Chen Boyan lowered his head, "Don't worry, Xiao Yu'er. Eldest brother wants to ask you a question, you must answer me truthfully, okay?"
Xiao Yuer nodded, "Okay."
"Let me ask you, when your master accepted you as an apprentice, did he ask you any special questions?" Chen Boyan asked softly.
Xiao Yuer tilted her head and thought for a while, "Yes, Master asked me what I want to do when I grow up."
Chen Boyan said: "Is it that simple?"
Xiao Yuer nodded, and Chen Boyan asked again: "Then do you know where the string of grass beads that your master has been hanging around his waist come from?"
"Grass beads?" Xiao Yu'er was stunned, and then remembered after a while, "Ah, it's the string of beads. Master said it was given to him by a very important person."
While talking, Xiao Yu'er got up embarrassed, tiptoed into Chen Boyan's ear and said, "It's a token of love!"
Suddenly, Chen Boyan remembered the question Meng Qiqi asked him when he was kneeling outside the small building—"Do you recognize this string of beads?"
If, if this string of beads had nothing to do with Chen Boyan, then why did Meng Qiqi ask such a question?
Since he asked like this, does that mean...
Xi Wei's light broke through the chaos, and Chen Boyan seemed to have touched the edge of the truth all of a sudden, and his mind was shaken by this, unable to calm down for a long time.
Chen Boyan was stunned, for the first time in his life, he stood there in a place where people came and went.He couldn't see anyone in his eyes, or in other words, he regarded anyone he saw as Meng Qiqi.
However, no matter how much he thought about it, he still had no memory of the possible past of him and Meng Qiqi.But having no impression itself shows a huge problem.
If the string of beads was really related to him, why did he forget all about it?He doesn't remember, what about Chen Wujiu?Chen Boyan stared, and his eyes suddenly fell on the tower.
Chen Wujiu caught Chen Boyan's gaze unexpectedly, and frowned slightly.This cold-hearted nephew, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the city was extremely deep.It would be fine if he died outside, so why come back?
Recalling what happened back then, Chen Wujiu narrowed his eyes.He vaguely remembered that there was a young man with Chen Boyan at that time, who was it?
