Market News

Recalling what happened last night, Wu Fengyu was startled and frightened, not knowing why he was suddenly attacked.

After being stunned for a moment, he quickly groped his body and found that he hadn’t lost anything except his night clothes, and there were no special scars either.

“What the hell is going on here?” He was extremely puzzled and panicked. When he looked up, he suddenly saw a familiar face looking at him with frowns.

Zhu Mingyuan and Wu Fengyu were all smart, this is the companion he was going to silence last night.

With a solemn face, Zhu Mingyuan said with a half-smile: “Old Wu, why did you sleep here and was kicked out by your mother-in-law?”

“I drank too much last night, and my coat was run away by those stinky beggars.” Wu Fengyu grinned and said, a terrible thought suddenly popped up in his heart. Could it be that what happened to him last night was a warning, warning himself not to hit Zhu Mingyuan’s family idea

After having this idea, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. He couldn’t help looking at Zhu Mingyuan with a little more prudence. He had an expert backing him.

Zhu Mingyuan looked at the long knife that had not been lost beside Wu Fengyu, and sneered: “It seems that the loss of the dart made you very distressed, Lao Wu, I don’t know how to face You Sanye”

“Ah…” Wu Fengyu could only let out a long sigh, the meaning of which was only understood by himself.

It’s getting brighterAt that time, Meng Qi found a dilapidated temple to place an order, and then slept for half a day to recover from the mental exhaustion and injuries.

It wasn’t until noon that he went out, with the knife on his waist, he found a restaurant that looked lively at random, and walked in slowly.

“Little master, you came to the right place. The vegetarian food in our Jueshan building is the best in the city.” As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Er warmly greeted him and introduced him with a clatter.

“Amitabha, find a quiet place for the poor monk, and four more vegetarian dishes.” Meng Qi has no special love for vegetarian dishes, so he is not picky. He mainly goes out to listen to the news from the market. , the monks here seem to abstain directly from meat and fish, so there is no need to attract attention when inquiring about news.

“Okay,” Xiao Er shouted in a drawn-out voice, “One guest, four vegetarian dishes”

While shouting, he led Meng Qi to a corner, took off the white towel from his shoulders, and wiped the table again.

After Meng Qi sat down, he pretended to close his eyes and listen carefully to the conversations of the idlers nearby.

“Have you heard that Jin Ancheng of Tianxiang Tower is dead?”

“What is Yan Luo’s soul chaser dead?”

Sensing the astonishment of his companions and the concentration of attention from the people nearby, the first person to speak said triumphantly: “Can this be fake? My brother-in-law is a house arrester, and last night he followed Mr. Fei to inspect Jin Ancheng’s body. ”

Hearing this, Meng Qi was slightly puzzled, Fei Zhengqing wanted to conceal the cause of Jin Ancheng’s death

“How can I not believe you? I’m just very emotional. Jin Ancheng’s nickname of Yan Luo’s Soul Chaser was heaped up with human lives, but he himself has escaped death many times. I thought he would be able to die in peace and prosperity, but who knows? One step short, heaven will pay it back, karma.” A fat man dressed as a merchant said with a little joy.

“There are very few people like them who can live in bed forever”

“Hey, there’s a lot of trouble in Tianxianglou now, and the Jin family brothers are not easy-going lamps.”

The drinkers and idlers around who heard the news started talking in low voices.

The fat man dressed as a merchant asked, “Brother Cao, do you know how Jin Ancheng died?”

Bao inquired, known as Brother Cao, coughed twice, and under the watchful eyes of one after another, he slowly picked up his teacup and sipped his mouth, and said with some airs, “It was killed by Shen monkey among the twelve beasts.” .”

“What twelve beasts”

“monkey”

One after another screams of panic and astonishment sounded, as if the twelve beasts were life-threatening ghosts and the source of nightmares.

Meng Qi curled his lips. Fei Zhengqing seemed to have put Jin Ancheng’s death on his own head to cover up the shadow that was suspected to be the remnants of the Snow God Palace. What purpose did he have in doing this?

After a while, the merchant stabilized his mood and said: “Brother Cao is really the Shenhou of the twelve beasts. Jin Ancheng is also considered a well-known master in our five southern provinces. There are not many people who can kill him.”

The records of the Twelve Beasts before are uneven, some are almost suspected of being masters, and some have never killed a master of Jin Ancheng’s level. Shenhou belongs to the latter category, so everyone has doubts about the Twelve Beasts. , as long as they are not in a hurry, they will leave a mark, so that they have the reputation of shocking people’s hearts.

“There was a monkey face left at the scene, and Jin Ancheng’s throat was also sealed with a knife,” Brother Cao told the details.

Sealing his throat with a knife is probably to cover up the sword wound on his throat, right? Meng Qi watched with a smile on the corner of his mouth as Xiaoer brought up the vegetarian food. He held up his chopsticks to taste it, but it was delicious. Well, eating vegetarian food once in a while can be regarded as cleaning the stomach.

After a gasp, whispers continued:

“The Twelve Beasts are terrible, even the Lord Jin was killed by them.”

“Yes, I’ve always heard that the Twelve Beasts are the weirdest, most mysterious and terrifying organization in Jianghu. I still don’t believe it. When I saw it today, it’s a well-deserved reputation.”

“They dare to commit crimes in Tianding City, aren’t they afraid of angering the City Lord?”

“It is said that Chenlong and Zishu may be the masters, and the twelve beasts have nothing to fear.”

“Tsk, don’t mention Chenlong and Zishu, then Shenhou’s strength is probably not bad. Jin Ancheng has always been in the top 20 in our Tianding City and in the five southern provinces. Shenhou can easily kill If you lose him, your strength may not be inferior to Mr. Fei’s headhunting.”

“Whatever, it’s not something we can provoke anyway.”

During the exchange, their fear of the Twelve Beasts and Shenhou deepened several layers.

“I don’t know why Shenhou wanted to kill Jin Ancheng,” the fat merchant asked curiously.

Brother Cao sneered and said, “The Twelve Beasts never reveal their missions, but Mr. Fei’s arrest is suspected to be related to the disappearance of Mr. Duan Mingcheng. Maybe there is some big secret hidden in this incident.”

Regarding the case of Duan Mingcheng’s disappearance, everyone had different opinions and did not give Meng Qi any inspiration, so he slowly tasted the vegetarian food, paid the bill and left the restaurant, heading towards the water gate in the north of the city.

The information provided by “Mr. Xianyin” Duan Xiangfei also contained news about the remnants of the Snow God Palace. It seems that he had secretly investigated it before.

The remnant of Xueshen Palace that Duan Xiangfei discovered was named Wu Cheng, who was the owner of a northern goods store near Shuimen.

After crossing the Jinshui Bridge, it is the most prosperous area in Tianding City, and the street where Tianxiang Tower is located is located in it, but Meng Qi did not pass through there, but detoured far away.In the “Nanbeitong” grocery store, Meng Qi held a string of sandalwood Buddhist beads, rubbed them carefully, and said to the shopkeeper with a smile: “This string of Buddhist beads is not bad, but I don’t know if there are any better ones.”

The “better” shopkeeper looked Meng Qi up and down, he was dressed like an ordinary monk, how good he could afford

Meng Qi grabbed out the broken silver that was on his body, and filled it up, the shopkeeper suddenly smiled: “It’s better not to have none, let me invite my boss.”

This was a method Duan Xiangfei had tried. Once the goods exceeded a certain value, the shopkeeper could not decide on his own. Wu Cheng would come out in person, and Meng Qi just followed suit.

After a while, a man in his thirties with ordinary facial features came out, holding a string of Buddhist beads with a smile on his face, and handed it to Meng Qi: “Little master, this is made of Nanhai agarwood, and it can be used for meditation. Adjust your breath.”

Meng Qi rubbed the beads, only to feel the fragrance was tangy, strong but not cloying, which made people feel at ease.

“That’s right, I didn’t expect that besides goods from the north, your shop also has Buddhist beads from the South China Sea.” Meng Qi asked casually.

Wu Cheng maintained a smile: “North and south are connected, and the north and south are naturally connected. The little master is satisfied.”

“Very satisfied.” Meng Qi felt that this would be good for his own practice, so he didn’t reject buying it, and after looking up and down Wu Cheng, he said seriously: “Benefactor, the poor monk sees you covered in dark clouds, and there must be disasters in the near future. ”

The smile on Wu Cheng’s face disappeared immediately, and he really wanted to beat up the crow’s mouth monk in front of him. Hmph, charlatan, if he believed it, he would definitely turn the Buddhist beads into the key to eliminating disasters.

He lowered his face and said: “Wu has never believed in immortals and Buddhas, please come back, little master.”

Meng Qi didn’t say much, and laughed so hard that Wu Cheng turned his head and left with chills.

Under normal circumstances, if someone is so clumsy, if you don’t believe it, you will have to scold him twice, but this Wu Cheng deliberately kept a low profile too much, showing suspicion, it is inconvenient during the day, so he will come to have a look at it at night.

After wandering on the street for a while, Meng Qi returned to the ruined temple where the order was placed. Before he got close, he saw Zhang Zongxian pacing back and forth there.

“Benefactor Zhang, I need to find the poor monk.” Meng Qi walked up.

Zhang Zongxian was shocked and said: “Master Zhending, City Lord Cui invites you to go to the mansion for a while.”

“City Lord Cui” Meng Qi was a little surprised, he didn’t expect it to be so fast.

Zhang Zongxian said bitterly: “Because Shenhou reappeared and killed Lord Jin. Master, you have fought against him, so City Lord Cui and Boss Fei would like to ask you to see if you can find him.” Get clues.”

“Shen Hou appeared again. He was stabbed by the poor monk. The injury is not serious.” Meng Qi looked shocked, which was a reaction he had figured out a long time ago.

Zhang Zongxian looked at Meng Qi with a slightly strange gaze: “Master, I don’t think so. Even if that knife can’t kill Shenhou, I’m afraid it can make him lie down for ten days and a half months. Could it be that someone is pretending?”

“Maybe Shenhou also practiced kung fu, but the poor monk missed it.” Meng Qi said, and then asked Zhang Zongxian, “Benefactor Zhang, can you tell Cui the details of the fight between the poor monk and Shenhou?” Santo”

If Zhang Zongxian told Cui Xu, Fei Zhengqing and the others that he had outstanding sword skills, had a kung fu similar to boy kung fu, and almost killed Shenhou, then Fei Zhengqing, an old gangster like Fei Zhengqing, would know it with his toes Last night’s Shenhou was pretending to be himself.

Zhang Zongxian shook his head: “This is the mage’s secret, I dare not speak nonsense, so I was too flustered to shirk it at the time, I only saw the mage cut Shenhou’s lower abdomen with the last knife, um, my wife and I have not heard about the treasure map. If it is disclosed to the city lord, the only thing that can be said is the transcript.”

Meng Qi took a deep look at Zhang Zongxian, and seeing his calm eyes, he sighed and said, “The poor monk will follow Master Zhang to the City Lord’s Mansion.”

If it were someone like Gu Xiaosang, Zhang Zongxian and his wife would have died a hundred times long ago because they wanted to prevent the secret from being leaked out, but they couldn’t do it themselves. Anyway, the main task has already been taken, as long as they find Duan Mingcheng’s whereabouts, is there any Shenhou? The identities are all considered complete, so if Zhang Zongxian and his wife accidentally leak it, it’s okay, but they can’t find opportunities to complete side missions. :
