Aggrieved Fish Sprite

It is impossible to be a monster, there are no monsters in this world.

Although the identity of the man in the bamboo hat is a mystery and his martial arts are strange, there are no clues to be found.

"...So? You want to know the master of Piaoping Pavilion, what kind of martial arts does my benefactor practice?"

Su Li, a swordsman, rushed to a village outside the city under the guidance of Blacksmith Wang. Blacksmith Wang urged his wife and daughter to pack up their luggage and prepare to leave Run County. Just as they were in a hurry, Meng Qi came and asked Su Li such a question, so that The swordsman was a little taken aback.

"She knows the way." Meng Qi motioned to Miss Liu who was brought over by him.

When Blacksmith Wang saw this old neighbor for many years, he felt angry. He was almost killed before, how could he not be angry?

"Aunt Liu, I really can't think of it. I feel wronged that you sell needlework and sachets on the street on weekdays. With such martial arts, you still condescend to squat in this small place. You must have a bad life. Now it's all over, it's all over, and everyone doesn't have to continue Wearing a mask to get close."

Facing blacksmith Wang who was sarcastic and sarcastic, Mrs. Liu knew she was right and didn't say a word.

If she justified that she didn't monitor the blacksmith shop, and never thought of doing anything against Wang Blacksmith's family, how could she know exactly where Wang Blacksmith's wife and daughter lived in their hometown in the country?Meng Qi came so quickly, obviously he didn't even need to "ask for directions", he directly knew which house the Wang family lived in the village.

Tiejiang Wang used to be half a man from the rivers and lakes, and he made many enemies in the past, so he pays great attention to these things on weekdays.When neighbors asked him about his wife and daughter who lived outside the city, he always brought his words to him in a vague manner, and he didn't ask his family members to come to the shop to bring him food and water.

The swordsman said that he was in danger and trouble, and Tiejiang Wang was always unhappy, thinking that the swordsman was making a fuss out of a molehill.

At this moment... he was still angry, but after thinking about it, the swordsman did not leave him alone, so he did his best.

Blacksmith Wang had nowhere to vent his anger, and Miss Liu ran right in front of him.

"You don't need to tell who you are, and I don't want to know." Blacksmith Wang looked annoyed at his bad luck, and turned to help his wife continue to collect things.

His departure really made it much easier for Swordsman and the others to talk.

Whether it is drugs or the descendants of Xiliang trying to restore the country, it is of great importance. The more ordinary people know, the more dangerous they will be.

At this moment, in the low and narrow woodshed, there were four people standing or lying down, and the atmosphere was stagnant.

Liu Niangzi is the one who is half lying down, she has serious internal injuries, and Mo Li has had her pulse checked just now, and she will not recover within three to five months.

—— For internal injuries, as long as you lie down to rest and not move your true energy, you will be fine if you boil medicines and drink medicines and don’t take tonics indiscriminately, or you can have a master who has practiced all the way to help heal the injuries.

The problem is that Mrs. Liu has nothing. The "master" abandoned her, and Meng Qi is not a kind person. Just now, carrying her on the road is like carrying a sandbag.Now that she was living under the eaves, she even had to look at Blacksmith Wang's face, wishing she could shrink in a corner and be ignored.

"You...yes, and you!"

Meng Qi first refers to Liu Niangzi, and the second refers to the swordsman Su Li.

"At present, only the two of you know a little about that guy, so tell us what you know."

That guy was referring to the man in the bamboo hat. Meng Qi didn't know the other person's name, and was disgusted by his lifelessness, so naturally he couldn't give him a good name.

The swordsman has an ugly face, and when he mentions the man in the bamboo hat, his mood will be very complicated.

On the one hand, the swordsman doesn't quite agree with the other party's use of drugs to control the killer, and suspects that the so-called "favor" is also for the purpose of taking advantage of him; Driven, it also gave him a way out.

So what if you have good muscles and bones for martial arts?The first ten years of the swordsman's life were terrible, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were rotten vegetables in a mud pit.No one looked at him, and no one cared about his life or death.

"He seldom strikes in front of me, he only pointed out my martial arts, and he gave me the sword skills I practiced." Su Li carefully considered the words, and said cautiously, "I don't know the level of his martial arts, only vaguely I feel that he is stronger than me."

"Master is very strong." Lady Liu said in a low voice.

In fact, she didn't want to say anything, but there was resentment in her heart, and if she was found to "survive", Shopkeeper Sun would definitely order others to kill her to silence her. Even if she didn't say anything, she would still be labeled a "traitor".

"The master is also practicing the martial arts of Mogatti Temple. It is called 'Indestructible Truth'. It is an extremely advanced martial art. In the past, only the elders of Mogatti Temple could read it. It is said that this school was created in the past. Master Nemo didn’t even get to the last step of the exercise, but the master did it.” Liu Niangzi said cautiously with fear on her face, “The truth of immortality is natural to those who practice the thirteen demons and self-attachment. Suppression, it is impossible for us to resist the master."

Mo Li finds it strange that there is no reason for innate restraint in this world, even water and fire have their strengths and weaknesses.

Meng Qi snorted, and said with a sneer, "Imperishable Truth? It sounds nice to say, isn't the highest martial art in Mogatti Temple the Heavenly Demon Bo Xunxiang?"

When it comes to Buddhism and Buddhist scriptures, Mo Li is a little confused.

Mr. Qin has never taught it. He has been studying martial arts and medicine for 20 years.

Thinking of the aura around the man in the bamboo hat, it really looks more like practicing evil martial arts.

"Heavenly Demon Bo Xunxiang is a misnomer by outsiders. We are not practicing magic skills, just like outsiders call 'Kong Huazhen' Heavenly Demon Mad Huaxiang." Liu Niangzi defended, still a little bit annoyed.

Meng Qi didn't buy it, and said sneeringly: "I admit that the martial arts of Mogatti Temple is indeed unique. In the past, the monks who founded the temple comprehended the Shurangama Sutra and turned their martial arts into demons to disturb their hearts. Break through the obstacles, and thus strengthen their heart towards the Buddha. Although I don't believe what they believe, the martial arts of Mogatti Temple was not originally intended to compete with others. Unfortunately, as time went by, the monks in Xiliang Gradually, they only valued the power of these martial arts, and ignored their original meaning of existence, and what's more, they meddled in the government and became obsessed with power, participating in the internal struggles of the eight major clans."

The Shurangama Sutra is a very special Buddhist scripture. It tells how the illusion of evil spirits can deceive practitioners and how to overcome them.

Therefore, there is a saying that the Shurangama Sutra is indestructible, and all scriptures and Buddhist scrolls are indestructible.

Although Meng Qi doesn't believe in a single word, martial arts has always been rooted in it. Since Mogaiti Temple martial arts was born here, later generations have forgotten their essence and become obsessed with martial arts, and only want to delve into martial arts to increase their power. Naturally, they have gone astray. .

"Even when Xiliang was destroyed, there were still monks in Mogatti Monastery who practiced the Dharma and had no intention of external things, but what about you?" Memorize the martial arts mental method, you should be thankful that your strength is not enough, otherwise the mental state is not right, and you will go crazy sooner or later."

Lady Liu was dumbfounded, and instinctively wanted to refute, but after thinking about Meng Qi's strength, she immediately shut her mouth.

Forget it, whoever is the best will speak.

Su Li frowned and said: "No matter what kind of martial arts he practices, I haven't seen him go crazy."

"Not necessarily."

This time it was Mo Li who spoke. Doctor Mo suspected that the man in the bamboo hat had practiced martial arts into an evil method.

Qin Lu once said that some people are born with extraordinary talents and brains, and even if they are given random and completely wrong exercises, they will have to go around a few more detours, tinker and correct them by themselves, and finally comprehend. Come up with new martial arts.

This kind of thing happened not once or twice in Jianghu.

There are always people who need to entrap others for various reasons, make a wrong exercise, and want the other party to go crazy.

There are those who are successful, and there are those who can't make money by stealing chickens, such as realizing a long-lost first-rate mental method from a book of third-rate internal skills, and angering those who pretend to be clever and tricked him to death.

It sounds bizarre, but in fact, the third-rate internal strength and the first-rate mental method were created by the same sect founder, and the former is a simplified version of the latter.Since someone can create it, someone can deduce a complete martial arts based on the fragments or even the simplified version.

This is quite reasonable. It is even more common to take the leftovers of martial arts and complete the second half by yourself.Individuals are free to understand and play freely, such as the white bone claws and Huayin palms in the storybook.

All in all, if martial arts secrets are given to a stupid fool who has no understanding, he will not be famous. Brains superstitiously believe in the authority of secret books, so it’s okay not to give them secret books. If someone has bad intentions and gives them wrong things, they can only reap a terrible enemy.

If a person with a bamboo hat is extremely talented, he may not necessarily change his mentality directly when he realizes that he is about to go mad.

It took a while for the swordsman to understand what Mo Li said, and then he was a little dumbfounded.

I don't know that there have been so many incidents in the Jianghu, and there are so many sophisticated swordsmen thinking: Is it difficult to spend money to hire a killer?Who is to blame for the ineffectiveness of such a devious way of harming people?

Then Su Li realized that he didn't seem to be a killer anymore, and he couldn't make a living even if someone else looked for a killer.

But if you don't want to be a killer, you don't know what you can do as a swordsman, so you are at a loss for a while.

"You just call him 'Engong', and you call him 'Master', and you don't even know his name?" Meng Qi continued to ask.

Su Li nodded, which made Liu Niangzi look at him with an indescribable expression, as if she was wondering how could there be such a person as him in the world.

"Our master is a disciple of the last Dharma King of Mogatti Temple, and it is said that he is a member of the Feiting tribe."

After Lady Liu finished speaking, Meng Qi was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "This is really a coincidence."

"how?"

"The Xiliang national teachers all come from Mogatti Temple, and Midi is one of the four Dharma kings in the temple. I remember that the last Xiliang national teacher seems to be the Dharma king Midi."

After Mo Li heard this, his expression also became weird, and he asked via voice transmission, "Then what about this Xiliang national teacher? Was he defeated by you?"

If he died at the hands of Meng Qi, wouldn't the man in the bamboo hat still have a feud with Meng Qi?

The title of National Teacher originally originated in Xiliang Kingdom. About a hundred years ago, Xiliang ordered an eminent monk in Mojieti Temple to be the National Teacher. After that, the Central Plains also had such a saying.The Xiliang national teachers of all generations were all very famous monks, they might not be good at martial arts, they might just be proficient in Buddhism, or they might be good at exerting power.Mo Li didn't expect this to happen again, so in the battle between the Chu Dynasty and Xiliang, the national teachers of the two countries took the lead in fighting?

"No, the Mithi Dharma King was infected with the plague when he went to the Feiting tribe to preach."

"..."

"At that time, a plague broke out in the southwest of Xiazhou, and it spread to the entire Feiting Department in a very short period of time. Nine out of ten camps were empty, and most of the nobles died, let alone the herdsmen and slaves. That King Mithi is old. , relying on internal strength for more than half a year, and died of grief and anger when I heard that the Chu Dynasty occupied the capital of Xiliang."

Mo Li glanced at Meng Qi, thinking that it really was the hatred of the country and the teacher.

"The disciples of Dharma King Midi should have a dharma name in Mogatti Temple, but you don't know?"

"I heard...he was a disciple accepted by the last dharma king shortly before his death. He was young and did not take the precepts. Later, Mogatti Temple was destroyed by war..."

Mo Li suddenly said to Miss Liu: "I don't think you look like a Xiliang person?"

Not all of the more than a dozen Xiliang masters who practiced the Konghua Formation had alien looks, on the contrary, their characteristics were not conspicuous, especially Liu Niangzi looked no different from the common people in Run County.

The ink carp is not sensitive to the appearance of people, and it was not realized until now.

"I'm not. My ancestors were Han people who settled in Xiliang. After the country fell, they were forcibly moved into the pass and gathered into villages." Liu Niangzi stared at the three of them and said sharply, "You want to ask me, as a Han citizen, Why restore the country of Xiliang?"

Meng Qi didn't answer, but the swordsman asked strangely: "Is there no one in your family? If your parents and brothers are all there, and you were selected to learn martial arts in Mogatti Temple, what other choices do you have?"

Lady Liu choked, her aggressiveness disappeared.

Mo Li looked at her for a while, and said in a low voice: "If there are clansmen, I'm afraid life will be difficult after moving into the pass."

Ordinary people don't care if the country is restored or not, they just want to live.

The people of these former enemy countries, after a few years of stable life in the Chu Dynasty, ushered in the madness of Emperor Chu Yuan, Emperor Ling of Chu, fighting for power and ministers to the ruin of the country, let alone the Qi Dynasty later, Qi Emperor Lu Zhang side Those who were born in the army do not have a good impression of foreign races, and there is still a lack of capable ministers who sort out internal affairs and propose good policies to govern the people.

"...Excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes are not lacking. Even the corvee is twice as heavy as that of ordinary border people. We are often called lowly slaves because our ancestors served foreigners."

Liu Niangzi was expressionless, but a line of tears rolled down, "We are not as good as those naturalized Xiliang people. At least at the border, Xiliang people who can raise horses and hunt are very respected. They are said to be A man. But the people in our village can’t even lift their heads when they go out. The life of each generation is worse than that of the next generation. My father died of hard labor when he was less than 30 years old. My cousin couldn’t stand the escaping. Sentenced as a slave to herd sheep and horses for the frontier army. My ancestors were also captured by the Xiliang people outside the customs as slaves, and finally escaped from their nationality and became the people. I didn’t expect that the fallen leaves returned to the Central Plains, and they were still slaves for generations.”

Meng Qi sighed.

There are probably quite a few people like Lady Liu.

Otherwise, the bamboo hat man would not be able to find so many people as his subordinates.

"No matter which dynasty or generation, whoever refuses to let the people live, they will naturally rebel."

Whether it is the righteousness of the family and the country, or the integrity of the nation.An ordinary person like Liu Niangzi, without much knowledge, was about to die, and she left when someone gave her a way.

"That's all." Meng Qi changed his tone, and asked Lady Liu, "How many years have you been under that disciple of the Midi Dharma King? How many times have you met him? Has his martial arts always been like this?"

Lady Liu didn't understand, so she said: "I have been practicing Kong Huazhen for more than [-] years, and I don't have many chances to meet the master, about four or five times. As for his martial arts...my martial arts are low, and I really can't feel any changes. "

Meng Qi turned his attention to the swordsman.

The swordsman asked sharply: "I have been around for more than 20 years. He didn't show up often and I devoted myself to practicing swordsmanship. When I was young, I couldn't figure out his martial arts level. It's the same now. But what you asked doesn't seem to be referring to martial arts. High and low changes?"

"Death." Meng Qi said succinctly.

Mo Li added: "When... did that death aura appear in him? From the very beginning?"

If that is the case, the swordsman who was misfortune and was beaten almost to death in his childhood would not think that his "benefactor" is a good person. No matter how simple-minded he would be, he would be so frightened that he would just want to run away. Who would dare to stay and repay his kindness?

As a result, the swordsman gave Mo Li Meng Qi an unexpected answer.

"What's deadly?"

"..."

The four looked at each other for a while, and finally Mo Li spoke first, explaining the suffocating and weird feeling around the man in the bamboo hat.

"Master feels this way when he is angry, but isn't that why my martial arts come from the same source and are not as good as Master?" Miss Liu was also at a loss.

The swordsman did not learn martial arts from Mogatti Temple, so he took the initiative to ask: "Doctor, what do you mean by death, not murder?"

Mo Li nodded, and described the breath he felt again.

After a while, the swordsman shook his head and said, "No, I've never felt like this before, and..."

"Huh?" Mo Li felt vaguely uncomfortable.

"You describe it as a strange feeling. Since it is an extremely terrifying death, it is fine like a village full of plagues, but why is it like a Gobi desert where there is no life? Normally speaking, shouldn't it be a battlefield full of corpses? "

Mo carp was stunned.

He suddenly realized that the so-called death energy might be something that only he and Meng Qi could feel.

Only Longmai would feel that the Gobi desert has "dead energy" because there is a lack of life there.
