Self-cultivation in the world of monster hunting

Three days later, Wanyang City.

Wanyang City is the most affluent place in the south of the Yangtze River, with beautiful and picturesque scenery. There is also a cold water lake in the city. Because the lake water is too cold, the lake surface is shrouded in a layer of light mist all year round.

This cold water lake has a vast surface, and the lake water is as cool as snow, so it got the poetic name "Snow Sea".However, later the Meng family took over Yumen's territory, perhaps because they wanted to completely eliminate Yumen's imprint on this place, so they renamed the lake to the unremarkable Hanshui Lake, and changed Xuehai City to Wanyang City.

But the beautiful scenery did not change because of this. When Lu Xiang and Sijun arrived, it was the time when the sun was setting and the fog was the most beautiful.

The warm sun dyed the mist with a layer of gold, which is really beautiful.In the lake shrouded in mist, there is a small island indistinctly. It seems that there are houses on the island, which cannot be seen clearly from a distance.

"This scene is so beautiful, it's like seeing it in a dream." Lu Xiang stared at the small island in the lake and muttered to himself.

Sijun replied: "I have seen it in Wen Renxian's paintings, but Wen Renxian's paintings are poor, not as good as what I see today."

Lu Xiang immediately nodded in agreement.

After walking for a while, he saw that the front was blocked by a fence, and the majestic mountain gate was in the fog. Several young men dressed as celestial masters were guarding the gate, presumably they were disciples of the Meng family.

The two walked forward a few steps, and as soon as they met those young men, they immediately came up to greet Lu Xiang and Sijun respectfully: "The two are Lord Sijun and Young Master Lu, right?" ?The head brother has been waiting for the two for several days, but it can be regarded as coming, please come with me."

There didn't seem to be anything wrong with that attitude, it seemed that the Meng family was really open-minded, and had no scruples about Lu Xiang, a broom star.

After entering the mountain gate, he boarded a small boat to go to the island. From a distance, Lu Xiang saw a group of people waiting on the shore, led by a thin young man.The disciple who punted the boat said to Lu Xiang and Sijun in a reverent tone: "Two people, please take a look, the brother in charge is already waiting for you two."

That was Meng Chengyan, if you just judge people by appearance, he is not outstanding, his eyes are tired, and he is not tall.But his temperament is good, and the people standing beside him respect him very much.

And the other young man standing beside him is very attractive. That man's facial features are similar to Meng Chengyan's, but on the basis of this similarity, he has been beautified a little bit, so he looks much more handsome and handsome. .In addition, he was a little taller than Meng Chengyan, and his figure was also stronger. In comparison, he was much better than Meng Chengyan.

It's like two similar swords, one is low-grade and the other is high-grade.

"That's Senior Brother Xi'an, the younger brother of Senior Brother Sect Leader." The disciple who punted the boat continued to say proudly, "You two must have heard of Senior Brother Xi'an."

Lu Xiang nodded.He had heard some stories about Meng Xi'an becoming famous as a teenager, but he didn't take it seriously.

The disciple who punted the boat couldn't suppress his reverence, and kept boasting about his two senior brothers. Amidst his passionate boasting, the boat had already reached the shore, and Meng Chengyan quickly stepped forward to greet Lu Xiang. He bowed to Sijun, and then his eyes stayed on Lu Xiang's face.

Lu Xiang was a little embarrassed, and quietly hid behind Sijun.

Meng Chengyan regained his senses, and quickly said: "I'm being rude, please don't blame Mr. Lu. I've been hearing about Mr. Lu's deeds these days, but I didn't expect Mr. Lu to be so young, and he is really a young hero."

Lu Xiang was even more embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Sect Master Meng praises it, what happened before was all a coincidence..."

Meng Chengyan praised Lu Xiang and Sijun again, then led Meng Xi'an and the others to greet them for a while, then led them into the manor, and then to the main hall.

Serving good tea and snacks, Meng Chengyan said a few words of "hard work", and quickly got to the point, asking about the situation of the first three families.

Lu Xiang didn't hide anything, and said everything in detail. When it came to Ran Lingxiao's accusations against the four major families before his death, a famous disciple of the Meng family couldn't help but said with righteous indignation: "Although we sympathize with Miss Ran's experience, But you have to speak with evidence! No one knows what the situation in the Battle of Killing Demons was, so anyone can talk nonsense! But no matter what, the senior brother in charge was only 11 years old at the time, no matter what happened, he would have nothing to do with it. Senior Brother Sect Leader has nothing to do with Senior Brother Xi'an! I grew up in the Meng Sect, so I know who these two senior brothers are, and I also know that our Meng Sect would never have participated in those messy things!"

After the little disciple finished speaking, Meng Chengyan's face darkened, and he scolded majesticly in a low voice: "Did Mrs. Meng teach you to be rude in front of distinguished guests? Mrs. Meng is naturally innocent, and no one can let people talk about it, but as long as Lu Young Master and Lord Sijun are here, they will always check it out and give our Meng family a clean slate, why are you being so rude?"

Several young disciples immediately lowered their heads, and Meng Chengyan sent them away, leaving only the two brothers in the hall.

Lu Xiang said a little embarrassedly: "Master Meng, you may think highly of me. It's been almost nine months. In fact, I haven't found anything. It's all luck to get here."

"Young Master Lu, don't underestimate yourself. I've heard about the abilities of you and Lord Sijun. That's why I took the liberty to invite the two of you here this time. Apart from getting rid of the river monster, I also have selfish intentions." Meng Chengyan straightened his face. , said very seriously, "I know where to find the truth about the Battle of Killing Demons."

Lu Xiang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned to look at Sijun.

Sijun happened to be looking at him too, and there was also some strangeness in his eyes.

so easy?Is the truth they have been looking for after going around in circles for so long here?

Lu Xiang hurriedly turned his head to look at Meng Chengyan, and said, "Sect Master Meng's words are serious?"

Meng Chengyan cupped his hands, and his tone was extremely sincere: "I'm telling the truth to Mr. Lu. My father was seriously injured in the battle to kill demons. From then on, he let me participate in the affairs of the clan. Therefore, I learned that my father died. , had a lot of letters to the heads of the Wenren, Ming, and Qin families. The contents of these letters are likely to be related to the battle of killing demons. Before my father passed away, I hid these letters in the Treasure Pavilion Inside, because I respect my father, I haven't searched for it. Now, rumors all over the world are pointing at our Meng family. In order to prove my innocence, I am willing to make these letters public. Of course, if I take them out by myself, I am afraid it will not be convincing, so I would like to ask you two to be witnesses for my Meng family and prove my innocence."

After saying this, what Lu Xiang saw from the faces of the two brothers was openness and solemnity.

Lu Xiang felt that he could not bear the heavy burden of a family's reputation, and for a moment he didn't know how to deal with it. He turned his head and looked at Sijun in a daze.

Sijun took a sip of tea calmly and said, "You believe so much that your Meng family is really innocent?"

The quiet and low-key Meng Xi'an suddenly raised his eyes, staring at Sijun with a piercing gaze, and said in a deep voice, "What does Sir Sijun mean by that?"

Because of his anger, he couldn't control his coercion, so Lu Xiang clearly felt the oppression and momentum in this light tone.

Lu Xiang suddenly understood why Meng Xi'an had been so quiet before - he was much better than his elder brother by not making a sound, and once he revealed himself, it made Meng Chengyan look mediocre.

This kind of strength immediately aroused Sijun's interest. He quickly glanced at Meng Xi'an, continued to remain expressionless, but deliberately provoked the other party with words: "My meaning is obvious. After all, the three major families were exposed before they were exposed. , also claiming to be innocent.”

As soon as the words fell, Meng Xi'an angrily slapped the table, the sound was not loud, but Lu Xiang felt more clearly a coercion swept over his body, making him feel uncomfortable in an instant.

Sijun didn't speak, but stretched out his hand to embrace Lu Xiang, and the uncomfortable feeling disappeared immediately.

Meng Xi'an looked at Sijun and raised her eyebrows, and then reached out to slap the table, Meng Chengyan yelled angrily: "Xi'an!"

That sound had no momentum, but it immediately calmed down Meng Xi'an.

Meng Xi'an immediately stopped, got up and apologized to Meng Chengyan, respectfully said: "Eldest brother, Xi'an is reckless, elder brother forgive me."

Sijun looked unhappy, and wanted to have two tricks with Meng Xi'an, so Lu Xiang hurriedly grabbed his sleeve.

Sijun looked back at Lu Xiang, and gave another "tsk" impatiently, but in the end he still didn't take Lu Xiang's face off, and quickly withdrew his hand.

Meng Chengyan's eyes were flushed with anger, and she glared at Meng Xi'an fiercely before turning around to look at Sijun and Lu Xiang.Then Meng Chengyan stood up, and said modestly: "Master Sijun, Mr. Lu, Xi'an is a little impulsive, please forgive me."

Lu Xiang quickly waved his hands and said, "No...we were also impulsive...it's okay, it's okay, everyone calm down."

Meng Chengyan was still full of guilt, and forced Meng Xi'an to apologize to Lu Xiang and Sijun. Lu Xiang was afraid that Meng Xi'an would not be happy, and the two sides would clash again, and was about to refuse, but saw Meng Xi'an doing it very honestly, even with a slightly unhappy expression. nothing.

This is a bit surprising.

Lu Xiang took a closer look and found that Meng Xi'an's respect for his elder brother was not just pretending.After all, for a person like him, it would be easy for him to be the head of the sect by himself if he wanted to turn against his elder brother.

In short, this little unhappiness was quickly overturned, and the four of them continued to discuss.

To be precise, it was Lu Xiang, Si Jun, and Meng Chengyan who continued to discuss, while Meng Xi'an continued to remain silent, covering up his sense of existence.

Meng Chengyan said: "Please don't worry about it, both of you, this time I invite you to come here because I really want to find out the truth."

Lu Xiang also said sincerely: "Yes, everyone has the same goal, so please head Meng to take us to find those letters as soon as possible."

"This can't be so urgent." Meng Chengyan said with a look of embarrassment on his face, "There are many relics of my ancestors of the Meng family in the Treasure Pavilion, and it is also the place where my family pays homage. It is extremely important to my family. If you want to bring outsiders in, you have to choose an auspicious day and do a ceremony. Please wait a few days for Mr. Lu and Lord Sijun. After all, this matter is not the first priority. The most urgent thing right now is Wanyang Hehe Something about a demon."

"The river demon..." Lu Xiang murmured.
