Money in the heavens

Chapter 1074: Boating and Tasting Lake Crabs

Jiang Zhiwei flicked the five fingers of her left hand, pointed at the weathered sword, and cut off the things on Jiang Hengchuan's body, fearing that he would be burned clean after death like Mr. Huo Dexing.

Even if he sells iron and has no good items, he can still find clues!

The normal ups and downs of the sea of ​​​​spirits gradually return to tranquility, and the golden fragments slowly sink into the seabed, losing their color, and this place will soon turn into a lonely place.

Suddenly, a large wave surged abnormally, and the golden fragments jumped suddenly, and one piece quickly enlarged, showing a magnificent scene.

It was a splendid palace, with no one at the head, and about ten people sitting on each side, all wearing masks and keeping their auras reserved.

Their masks include "Ziwei Star Lord", "Nine Heavens Thunder God", "Martial Arts Star Lord", "Mountain God", and "Golden Emperor and Queen Mother of the West"...

Suddenly, everything in front of Meng Qi's eyes shattered, a faint and indistinguishable sword light emerged, and the sea of ​​his soul collapsed.

"When~~~"

The illusory bell shadow emerged above Meng Qi's spiritual sea, resisting the sword light, and at the same time helping Meng Qi stabilize his spiritual sea.

Meng Qi took a step back and did not suffer any backlash, but Jiang Hengchuan's body suddenly emitted streams of sword energy and was cut into minced meat and bloody mud. Everything that had not been peeled off was like this.

Anticipating this situation, Meng Qi sighed and silently mourned in his heart:

"Brother Jiang, when it comes to mental layout and conspiracy, there is a big gap between you and me. If it weren't for the 'plug-in', I would have known Xuantian Sect's attitude towards you. Zhiwei and others also came to help and follow you secretly. I Even if we figure it out at the last minute, there is no chance of a comeback..."

"I rejected your solicitation and ruined your plan. Facing an enemy like you, if I don't kill you ruthlessly, I will have trouble sleeping and eating in the future."

At least for now, Lao Zhong, who escaped midway, and Master Ziwei, who was trapped before entering Beppu, can only have a rough understanding of what happened inside. The culprit is obviously Mr. Wang!

The things that were cut off by the finger wind include silver coins and gold beads, which can be spent on daily basis or used as hidden weapons, but other than that, there seems to be nothing special.

"This is……"

Ruan Yushu took out something that looked like jewelry but not jewelry from the bag containing gold beads.

It is made of gold and is full of hollows, forming a rather complex pattern. It has a strange beauty, is very special, extremely rare, and has a sacred and solemn meaning.

"The gold is mixed with a special material that is difficult to imitate."

Ruan Yushu examined it carefully and made a judgment.

Jiang Zhiwei got together with her, reached out to take it, and rubbed it for a while:

"There is no legal connotation, it is just a mixture of special materials."

In other words, it is just an ordinary piece of jewelry with good material and weird shape.

"Perhaps it is some kind of identity symbol of the Shinhwa organization..."

Meng Qi gritted his teeth and said, having read thousands of books, he still has this bit of imagination.

Jiang Zhiwei nodded slightly:

"It's possible, but it may contain a special aura, and it's easy to be followed if you carry it with you."

"Haha, what are you afraid of? Did you forget to have this?"

Meng Qi patted the mustard ring on his left hand.

Throw it inside, and even the experts on the Heaven Ranking will find it difficult to spy on it.

"When the next reincarnation mission begins, I will give it to the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation for appraisal."

Meng Qi added using voice transmission.

Jiang Zhiwei just reminded her out of habit, but seeing that Meng Qi was well prepared, she didn't say much.

At this time, due to the news of the fight just now, many people in the world came closer, including the head catcher from the Six Doors. Several people seized the time, put away their belongings, let Jiang Hengchuan's flesh and blood be buried with the water, and quickly left the shore.

…………

As the sun set, Meng Qi found that the Hero Building was empty. It was said that when the "Ziwei Star Lord" fought against Taoist Shouzhuo, there had been commotion here. After many guests had eaten and drank, they suddenly discovered that they did not need to pay. Account settled.

"Ren Pingsheng was quite alert, and he actually pulled away so quickly..."

Meng Qi sighed with emotion, turned a few streets, and walked towards the entrance of the alley where the locust tree was.

The sky was getting dark, and the shadows under the locust tree were deep and gloomy. The old man carving the wooden statue stood in front of the door with his hands folded, as if waiting for Meng Qi.

There was no carving knife, no wooden blocks, and no statues around him. He was dressed in a green robe and held an ordinary long sword in his hand. Even if he was waiting for someone, he could only concentrate on waiting.

"senior!"

Meng Qi bowed.

However, the old man did not look at Meng Qi, but looked in another direction, and then Shang Yi and Ruan Yushu appeared in the alley.

Shang Yi cupped his hands and said loudly:

"I have seen Senior Lu, the 'One Heart Sword', and the sword light when the senior was about to take action attracted the junior, so I came here to check it out!

If the senior slashed that sword light, he would be able to cut through the path of Jiuyou more easily than the junior. "

Ruan Yushu's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, and he also bowed his hands and said:

"Ruan Yushu of the Langya Ruan clan has met Senior Lu!"

Lu Da shook his head and praised:

"I am also very curious about little friend Huai Kong's methods, so after realizing that you have the ability to cut off the path of Jiuyou, I put away my sword. It is extraordinary that you can use this to realize that I am here!

Although it is an outdoor scene, it is comparable to Dharmakaya! "

Shang Yi modestly said:

"Senior, you are ridiculous. This junior is just relying on the power of the treasure weapon, and is still far from the Dharmakaya!"

Lu Da then looked at Ruan Yushu and said with a smile:

"Qin Xin is born, and the Langya Ruan family has produced another good seedling!"

Ruan Yushu cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you for the compliment, senior!"

Then, Lu Da just looked at Meng Qi and said:

"Last time I told you that I would tell you something after the great tide of Jinshui. Are you willing to listen now?"

Meng Qi cupped his hands and saluted: "I would like to hear the details."

Mr. Lu Da's face was slightly solemn: "Brother, depending on your fortune, flowers are blooming and fire is cooking oil. You should have many adventures and many misfortunes turn into good fortunes. Can you?"

"Yes, senior." Meng Qi also became serious.

Mr. Lu Da sighed: "But your luck does not originate from yourself. It is like a tree without roots or a source of water. It seems that someone has done it deliberately, or it is some kind of accumulation that cannot be controlled by itself. It seems that It burns vigorously, but in the end, it may be dangerous and it will all come to nothing.”

This refers to the "luck" brought by the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation. Because there are reincarnation tasks, exchanges, and various adventures in the world, is it so? Or does it refer to other reasons, such as Ananda? Meng Qi's thoughts were rolling, as if there was a turbulent wave in his heart.

"Senior, did you teach me anything?" Meng Qi barely suppressed the confusion and shock in his heart.

Mr. Lu Da shook his head and said with a smile: "You have to walk your own path. This wood carving is a gift for you to watch for a few days."

He handed Meng Qi a wood carving. The carving was exactly like Meng Qi himself, lifelike, and his features were both steady and escaping.

Meng Qi took the wood carving and felt that it was no different from the ones sold on the street, but he did not dare to look down upon it and put it away honestly:

"Thank you, senior."

Mr. Lu Da nodded and floated away with the world-famous "One Heart Sword" in his hands. The vicissitudes of his dark green back gradually disappeared into the sea of ​​people, without taking away a trace of dust.

Meng Qi suppressed his messy thoughts and sighed softly. What Mr. Lu Da said was still far away from him, so there was no need to worry about it for the time being.

Then he said longingly:

"It's really cool!"

Ruan Yushu chuckled and said:

"Xiao Meng, it will take many years to reach the level of Mr. Lu Da, so don't aim too high!"

This is not a joke, but a point in a joke between peers.

Shang Yi smiled and said to Meng Qi:

"You have also heard what Senior Lu Da said. These adventures you have are not from yourself, but are rootless trees. There may be another disaster for you in the future. You have to find ways to improve yourself. Don’t let Xiao Meng by our side suddenly become an eminent Buddhist monk, Ananda!”

After experiencing so many things, Meng Qi had some vague guesses about his own situation, but it was limited to his own vision. He didn't know that the Dharmakaya and the legendary level involved my specialness, so he was still a little confused just now.

However, now that Lu Da and Shang Yi have mentioned it, Meng Qi is even more concerned about it. At the same time, he feels helpless. His original imaginary enemy was at most the enemy who forced him into the Su family, the sacred capital of Shaolin Temple. But now His imaginary enemy turned out to be Ananda, a disciple of Buddha!

However, Meng Qi didn't dwell on this. He was just in the awakening stage, and thinking about fighting the legendary Ananda was too far away, so he should focus on improving his strength.

…………

On Crescent Lake, a boat with "Deng Ji Fish House" floating in the middle of the lake.

"Four guests, just past is the branch of the Dajiang Gang. How about we go boating on the lake here?"

The owner of the fish shop is a young fisherman's wife. Her skin is darker due to exposure to the sun and rain. She looks quite handsome and her speech is not rude.

Meng Qi wore white clothes and held a long sword. The "thunder knife" finally no longer had to be carried on his back, but was stored in the mustard ring. Hearing this, he smiled and said:

"We are all ordinary people. We can go boating anywhere. The important thing is to eat crabs."

The fisherman's wife pursed her lips and smiled:

"The guest is quite straightforward. Just prepare now."

Turning around, he saw Ruan Yushu looking like he was about to say a few words. Meng Qi was afraid of being hit by her, so he quickly said:

"The crisp autumn air is the perfect time to taste lake crabs. Dengji Fish Farm has been passed down for centuries. The crabs are fat and meaty, and the sauce is special. It is the best in Maoling. I spent a lot of money to book the entire boat."

At the end of the sentence, he showed off the chartered boat and looked at Shang Yi, Ruan Yushu and Jiang Zhiwei for admiration. He looked like a nouveau riche.

Seeing his appearance, Jiang Zhiwei couldn't help laughing and laughed out loud. She would probably be disgusted if others did this, but the young monk was chatting and showing off his pride, but he was particularly happy. He felt relaxed and not at all. I felt it was disgraceful.

Ruan Yushu took a sip of lotus tea and said calmly: "Aristocratic families prepare their own boats and ask the cook to do it."

Meng Qi had expected it, and raised his right hand: "What a troublesome thing, and you are surrounded by maids and servants, and there are strangers on the table. How can you be so carefree and focused on food?"

I knew you would say that!

Ruan Yushu nodded lightly: "That's not bad."

Meng Qi became more and more proud: "How is it? I told you to treat you to delicious food, how can I break my promise?"

"So I'm incidental." Jiang Zhi joked with a smile.

"Cough cough cough~~~"

Shang Yi also coughed twice, indicating that Ruan Yushu's boyfriend was nearby.

Meng Qi suddenly choked on his own saliva and almost transformed into Prince Wang:

"How could it be possible? Wouldn't it be great to invite her and Brother Huai Kong to invite you as well, to hang out with friends, eat crabs and drink wine?"

Jiang Zhiwei was just joking. When Meng Qi changed the subject, she didn't stop him. She smiled and said: "Maoling Lake crabs are famous all over the world. I have eaten them several times in the door. They are really good. But after traveling a long distance, even if there is a secret method to preserve them, How can it be compared to being a lake crab?"

"Yes!" Ruan Yushu seemed to swallow his saliva.

Shang Yi was also quite interested. The last time he came to Jiangdong, he left with Ruan Yushu after a hasty farewell to Langya Ruan and did not come to Maoling. Now that he was free, he naturally wanted to taste the delicacies of Maoling.

The four chatted about the interesting things about Maoling Lake Crabs until the fisherman's wife brought up a large plate of steamed red Lake Crabs.

"This is the secret dipping sauce and side dishes, this is the crescent snow silk fish, and this is the home-brewed yellow wine. When you taste the crabs, add a cup to make the flavor even better." The fisherman's wife said with a smile.

Smelling the fragrance, Ruan Yushu's hands twitched, as if he couldn't wait.

Shang Yi used chopsticks to lightly pick up a Lake Crab and put it on the small round plate in front of Ruan Yushu. He did not directly help to pick the crab. For a foodie, the process of tasting food is also very important!

Shang Yi could easily control his mind to pick all the Lake Crabs, but it also lost some of the leisure and fun of tasting crabs in the lake.

"It is a great pleasure to have a few friends of life and death, go boating on the lake, taste wine and eat crabs. Cheers!" Meng Qi poured a glass of rice wine and drank it first.

Shang Yi, Jiang Zhiwei and Ruan Yushu are all people with deep internal strength, and they are not afraid of drinking. They each drank a glass.

The autumn breeze is refreshing, and the water waves are surging. It is indeed a rare relaxation and pleasure to be able to get together after the reincarnation mission, taste wine and eat crabs.

Putting down the wine glass, Ruan Yushu took a crab and peeled the shell and bent the legs very quickly. In just a moment, the plump crab meat, crab roe, etc. were fully presented.

She seemed impatient and moved eagerly, but in fact, every move was elegant, and the posture of peeling crabs was like a landscape.

Ruan Yushu ate a piece of crab meat with water, and squinted slightly:

"Not bad, well-deserved."

Her expression and words made Shang Yi's appetite move. He looked at the crab in front of him, and peeled the shell perfectly like Ruan Yusu, and tasted the crab meat.

As for Meng Qi, he could only sigh at the crabs. Some time ago, he would put crabs into his mouth, bite off the shells with a crunch, and eat them with relish.

Jiang Zhi smiled, took a crab, stretched out her right hand, pressed it, and suddenly a sword energy burst out, the crab shell was shattered, and was "blown" to the side by the wind, revealing the deliciousness inside.

"It is indeed better than what I ate at the mountain gate." Jiang Zhi praised slightly.

Meng Qi was immediately inspired and also used his true qi to help. The control of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art was amazing. In just a breath, the crab became naked.

After ordering some dipping water, Meng Qi ate a piece of crab meat. He felt that the sweetness of the crab meat echoed in his mouth under the background of the strange taste of the dipping water. It was full of all five flavors, but not irritating. It was really delicious!

Seeing this, Ruan Yushu was stunned for a moment, picked up the second crab, and chose to "peel" the shell with true qi. It seemed that if he insisted on the elegant and normal routine, the crabs would be snatched away by the two people opposite!

How fast they ate!

Shang Yi was slightly stunned when he saw this. He was just thinking about enjoying the leisure time of eating crabs, but he didn't expect that several people had already started to compete in the speed of eating crabs. If he didn't speed up, he might not be able to eat many!

Then, he also joined the Qi crab-eating party.

Eating crabs and drinking wine, having a great time. After half an hour, the cups and plates were in a mess, and the crabs were swept away. Meng Qi was slightly drunk and sang folk songs while clapping the table.

Ruan Yushu wiped his hands, put the green jade on the table, and played it gently, high and broad, the water was calm, and the tranquility was far-reaching.

Shang Yi saw this and waved his right hand, and the black bird on his shoulder flew up and drilled into his hand, turning into a black jade flute. The flute sounded crisp and the piano sounded melodious, and the artistic conception was more obvious under the interaction.

Meng Qi gradually stopped humming and leaned against the partition behind him, looking comfortable.

Jiang Zhiwei put the long sword across his knees, listened quietly, and looked happy.

After a while, the autumn wind came with moisture, Ruan Yushu stopped playing the zither and said softly:

"I have to return to Langya tomorrow. I am afraid I can't travel around the world before I am 18 years old."

Shang Yi comforted:

"I will leave a projection of the falling treasure money and integrate it into the coin I gave you. When I travel around the world, what I see and hear will also be displayed on your coin in the form of round light technique. We can also communicate with each other!

During this period of time, it is also good for you to settle down in the clan for a while!"

Shang Yi did not have the idea of ​​​​forcing Ruan Yushu to travel with him. She has been with him for a year, and she should go home to accompany her parents and have a good rest and relax.

Jiang Zhiwei stroked the long sword and sighed: "'Young Master Qinglian' is not here yet, 'Long River of Sword Qi' has not yet arrived but has known the ending of Maoling and returned to the seaside, 'Five-Direction Emperor Sword' returned to the mountain with Senior Shouzhuo, 'Wolf King' is nowhere to be found, I wanted to test the heroes with swords, but failed to do so."

"Star Lord Ziwei" is extremely powerful, and at the critical moment forced Taoist Shouzhuo to retreat and escaped from Maoling. (End of this chapter)
