The Supreme Being

The sky was getting darker and darker. When Meng Qi entered the temple and Zen courtyard, he saw a mess inside with footprints everywhere.

"Master Zhending, are you back?" Ning Daogu and others sat around the stone table and stood up to greet them in surprise.

Meng Qi had already changed back into his gray monk robe and said with a smile: "Amitabha, thank you to the four donors for your hard work today."

Without asking, he could guess from the situation in the courtyard that people would come to challenge him in the past two days, but they were all blocked by Ning Daogu, Le Shishi and others.

"Nowhere, it's just a matter of effort." The four of them answered in unison.

Meng Qi smiled and said, "Buddhism is a believer in cause and effect. If a poor monk is invited to watch the 'Battle of the Grand Masters' in the future, the four benefactors will be humbled and become the poor monk's followers."

"Really?" Two girls, Le Shishi and Nie Yao, said in surprise. If they could watch the Grandmaster's battle, even if they didn't gain anything, they would be able to brag about it for many years.

Ning Daogu and Ji Xin came to their senses quickly and saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Master."

Meng Qi nodded lightly and entered his meditation room. He heard Si Xiao lowering his voice and chirping excitedly.

"Oh, why didn't I have the green years of wandering around in the world like this..." Meng Qi sighed pretending to be vicissitudes of life, and then sat cross-legged on the futon, carefully sorting out the things he encountered in the past few days and the clues he found.

Although he knew that the most critical thing at this time was to "monitor" You Hongbo and wait for another Xiangshen to fall into the trap, he was not in a hurry, because after Shen Hou stole the Buddha, the entire You Mansion was on very alert. You Hongbo also began to live in seclusion, often following You Tongguang to avoid accidents. Therefore, Meng Qi believed that if they were not prepared in advance, unless Chen Long took action personally, they would not be able to capture You Hongbo for a while.

Moreover, Meng Qi thought to himself that if it were him, the best time to capture You Hongbo would be tomorrow night. When Shen Hou steals the Buddha and attracts all the attention, he can capture You Hongbo without anyone noticing.

Of course, this is only Meng Qi's own judgment and will not be "imposed" on other Xiangshen. Who knows what they think. Therefore, starting from tonight, you must keep an eye on You Hongbo until the Xiangshen appears. Or last minute.

"The black shadow that night, according to Han Shi, may be a master who has practiced the 'Transformation Technique', or he may be a master who has condensed the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows and opened the secret secret of the spirit, and the 'Transformation Technique' is the first The article can prove that this strange skill is indeed a skill for cultivating the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows. Therefore, Han Shi did not lie about this. Unless he knows another skill for cultivating the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows. With his strength, this may be almost impossible. does not exist."

Meng Qi began to think about which truths could be believed and which lies needed to be considered. "If he didn't lie, then why didn't Fei Zhengqing mention a word at that time and only talked about the possibility of the Apparition Dafa? Unless he didn't He knows the role of Jingxian, but it may be very low. He is Cui Xu’s confidant.”

"In other words, Fei Zhengqing is deliberately concealing the possibility of a master who has opened the Mystery of the Essence. But there is only one person who is worthy of his concealment and has opened the Mystery of the Essence..."

Meng Qi squinted his eyes and looked at the white paper on the window, with the name "Cui Xu" echoing in his heart.

Hereditary city lord, genius swordsman, and righteous master, this is the aura around Cui Xu. Whether it is power, wealth, or martial arts, he has almost reached the limit that normal people can achieve.

Meng Qi also knew a lot about him, such as his childhood sweetheart, his wife who lost his wife in middle age, his children, his many adopted brothers, his lack of involvement in the past five years, and the fact that Tianding City affairs were all handed over to his son Cui Jinhua.

"Moreover, at that time, the black shadow only killed Jin Ancheng and silenced him, but ignored Fei Zhengqing, who had no resistance and knew more. The long sword can also penetrate my golden bell... But, Cui Xu Such a person who is not lacking in power, wealth, and martial arts, why should he deal with Duan Mingcheng and make a falling out with Duan Xiangfei? "

If Duan Mingcheng hadn't been captured by him and his men, Meng Qi would never have thought that he would have any motivation to kill Jin Ancheng, so he would just try his best to kill himself, the "Shen Monkey".

"Is it because of the treasures of the Snow God Palace? Does Cui Xuxue lack this? Or does he want the magical secrets and cultivation experience in it to make further progress, open the three major secrets, and break through the boundaries between humans and gods?"

Meng Qi thought about the "criminal motive" and reluctantly felt that Cui Xu had this possibility.

"Perhaps he learned about the treasures of Snow God Palace from You Tongguang, so he focused on Duan Mingcheng, who had a treasure map and was trying to contact Snow God Palace. He took advantage of their meeting to catch them all."

Regardless of whether the motive was sufficient, the more Meng Qi thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.

"Duan Mingcheng's treasure map should be in Cui Xu's hands now. If the Venerable Snow God Palace cannot withstand the torture, he will probably reveal their treasure map. Zhang Zongxian and his wife are being hunted by the Twelve Phase Gods. The treasure map If it is given to Cui Jinxiu, it must also fall into Cui Xu's hands. If nothing else happens, You Tongguang's share will definitely be given to Cui Xu. He may have collected four treasure maps..." Meng Qi carefully After analyzing it, I was a little shocked.

But he still has many questions, such as why Fei Zhengqing left the tunnel in the middle of the night that night, why Cui Xu, the lord of the city, happened to be at the scene... and the most puzzling point is that the Snow God Palace Hanshi and others are Silenced by whom?

The person who killed them was also good at using swords and was respected by them. He seemed to be a senior member of the Snow God Palace, unlike Cui Xu, so why did he need to kill his subordinates?

If he borrowed the words of Han Shi and others to transfer the suspect to Cui Xu, he could just transfer it away afterwards, so why kill someone?

"And this person seems to know my whereabouts very well. He waited until I really left before taking action. He was able to follow me without being discovered by me. Could he be the current Snow God Palace Master?" Meng Qi was shocked and a little scared. "What is his purpose? Uncover Cui Xu's secret and force him to hand over the treasure map? But why did he want to silence me..." After thinking through some things and being confused about some things, Meng Qi slowly sorted out his thoughts. No matter what, the main task is important. Cui Xu must be kept an eye on first, and You Tongguang is the breakthrough point.

…………

Wu Fengyu sneaked through the alleys. Only in the dark night did he feel a little safe.

After the failed attempt to kill and silence him, he was always worried that the other party would inform on him and provoke the crazy revenge of the Third Master, so he found an excuse and hid temporarily.

"Who is the master behind him? Why did he just warn me instead of just killing me to silence me?" In the past few days, this question has always lingered in Wu Fengyu's mind, making him unable to eat or sleep.

Snap, a sharp pain hit the back of his head, and Wu Fengyu fainted in anger and annoyance.

"Again?"

This was his last thought before he fainted.

…………

In the shadow of the roof near You Mansion, Meng Qi continued to monitor the movements inside, but this time, his attention was not on You Tongguang, but on You Hongbo in the east wing, watching him turn off the lights and go to bed normally.

Just when Meng Qi thought that it would be another night without words, a man dressed as a bodyguard hurried into You Hongbo's yard under the guidance of a servant.

It was far away, and Meng Qi couldn't hear what they were talking about. He only saw You Hongbo seemed to raise his hand excitedly, then picked up the long sword and went out with the bodyguard.

"Going out in the middle of the night in a dangerous situation must be a ghost, either a conspiracy of the god of appearance, or a secret of You Mansion..." Meng Qi was delighted and followed up carefully. No matter what happened, it should be something he would like to see.

…………

You Hongbo held the long sword tightly in his right hand, gnashing his teeth as he followed the escort forward, his expression ferocious, as if he wanted to cut the person in his mind into pieces.

After all, he was the son favored by You Tongguang, and he didn't say much along the way, restraining his emotions.

"He's here?" You Hongbo looked at the yellow walls and black tiles in front of him, stunned and afraid.

"Third Master, Wu Fengyu is hiding in the Great Compassion Temple. Humph, this traitor is probably trying to use the reputation of the White Sword God to scare us." The escort replied excitedly.

You Hongbo looked at him coldly: "Zhu Mingyuan, you also know the White Sword God, and you instigated me to go in and catch Wu Fengyu?"

If the escort this time was not of great importance, he would not have personally gone out, and he could have just found a casual escort leader.

"Third Master, it's okay. You see Wu Fengyu can hide in there, so can we. As long as we don't get close to the courtyard where the White-robed Sword God lives, we don't have to worry about any trouble. Two days ago, two gangs fought in there, but they didn't alarm the White-robed Sword God." Zhu Mingyuan explained quickly.

You Hongbo was proud of his status and believed that even if he alarmed the White-robed Sword God, he would at most be taught a lesson, and his life would not be in danger. It was more important to restore his father's impression, so he nodded slowly and said, "Okay, let's go in."

Climbing over the yellow wall, the two sneaked towards the courtyard where Wu Fengyu was hiding.

"Oh no, there's no movement!" You Hongbo was not careless and searched around first, but unexpectedly found that there was no breathing sound in the house.

"He, he is inside..." Zhu Mingyuan was obviously surprised.

You Hongbo frowned, pushed the door in, and after lighting the fire stick, his right hand trembled violently, and he almost dropped the fire stick to the ground.

On the bed in the room, Wu Fengyu lay quietly, his eyes wide open, frozen with endless fear and terror, and he was already dead.

Huh, the wind sounded, closing the door, and a black shadow suddenly rushed out, his hands were like lightning, and he sealed the acupoints of You Hongbo who was in shock.

You Hongbo's martial arts may not be much worse than this black shadow, but he has been pampered and has rarely honed himself. In this situation, he couldn't protect his body and mind, and forgot to guard against sneak attacks, so he was naturally hit by someone.

He looked at the black shadow in horror and found that it was a graceful woman who was wearing a nightgown and a cute white rabbit mask.

"Maotu?" He wanted to shout loudly, but the dark eyes under the other party's mask were staring at his throat, so he could only spit out these two words.

"Master You San, don't worry, it's just that someone wants you to be a hostage. As long as you cooperate obediently, you won't be worried about your life." Maotu said with a smile, and his voice also deliberately became hoarse.

"You didn't press my mute point, do you have something to ask?" You Hongbo has always been a smart man, but he is too inexperienced, and Zhu Mingyuan has long been asleep on the ground.

Maotu looked him up and down, chuckled and said, "I hadn't thought about it, but since I caught you, I'll ask you about the treasure map."

"Who?" As soon as she finished speaking, she looked out the window warily.

The window creaked open, and a laughing monkey head appeared in front of the two.

"Shen Monkey?" The two were surprised at the same time.
