The Supreme Being

Zhang Yuanshan's hair was originally neatly tied into a bun, but now it looked a little messy. His face showed obvious emotions such as anxiety, self-blame, and pain. For the first time, Meng Qi knew that a person's face could be so wonderful.

He completely lost his usual calm and capable demeanor. After hearing Meng Qi's words, his eyes flickered a few times. He looked at the nunnery with pain and guilt, turned his head reluctantly, nodded with difficulty and said, "Okay."

Go down the stone steps, walk along the path, and enter the official road. Not long after walking forward, you see a fairly lively town. Some of the people coming and going inside are wearing the Zhenwu Sect's iconic Bagua robes, and some are dressed as Taoist priests. There are also layman-like ones.

Along the way, Zhang Yuanshan remained silent, looking ahead, not knowing what he was thinking. Meng Qi did not speak in a hurry. It was difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. As a friend of both parties, he did not care about this kind of thing. Know where to stand.

"This is Tonglong Town to the west of Zhenwu Mountain. Disciples often come down here to drink." Zhang Yuanshan reluctantly squeezed out a sentence.

"Then find an unfamiliar restaurant." Meng Qi said calmly, trying to infect Zhang Yuanshan with his calmness to prevent him from breaking down and doing something irreversible.

It is inevitable that people who are familiar with the restaurant will know Zhang Yuanshan. It is always not good if word of it spreads over a word or a word or sees Zhang Yuanshan in pain and drunkenness. After all, it involves the marriage of the Zhang family and the Song family.

Alas, I was so thoughtful... At this moment, Meng Qi thought of the neighborhood committee aunt, his close sister, and the host of the emotional hotline. If he hadn't been a man, he would have shed tears...

Zhang Yuanshan nodded silently and led Meng Qi through the alley and found a very simple restaurant. There were many footprints and mud marks on the walls, and occasionally blood stains could be seen.

The restaurant was a bungalow with about a dozen tables randomly placed inside. It smelled bad and was noisy. It was filled with all kinds of heroes, but there was only a lack of Zhenwu sect disciples.

The two passed by the drunken men and found an empty table in the corner. Meng Qi took off the long sword from his waist and placed it horizontally on the table for easy extraction. After sitting down, Drawing the sword will always be blocked, which is inconvenient. Although it has little impact on a master of his own strength, a moment of delay can make the difference between life and death.

After such a long time of wandering, Meng Qi has already gained basic self-consciousness as a person in the world.

When Zhang Yuanshan saw Meng Qi doing this, he suddenly came to his senses and took off the Snake Sword. He was not such a careless person originally, but today he was really out of his mind.

The two of them looked at each other in silence until the waiter followed the instructions and brought two jars of daughter red, a plate of broad beans and bowls and chopsticks.

Meng Qi lifted the wine jar, poured a bowl for himself and Zhang Yuanshan, held it up and said, "Drink it!"

Zhang Yuanshan took out a breath, picked up the wine bowl, touched it with Meng Qi, raised his head, his Adam's apple squirmed, and drank the entire bowl.

Meng Qi felt the same way, feeling a burning sensation from his throat to his stomach, and then he poured another bowl: "Fuck it!"

Although the wine was not strong enough, after three consecutive bowls, Meng Qi, who had not drank for a long time, still felt a little dizzy. His stomach turned and he almost vomited it out. He quickly picked up a few broad beans and put them in his mouth.

Zhang Yuanshan drank very fast, feeling drunk, his face turned red, he stared blankly at the broad beans in front of him, and suddenly said: "Junior Brother Meng, do you still remember the first time you drank, and you choked on the wine and coughed?"

"Remember." Meng Qi blushed slightly. It was when he was completing the Duoercha mission that he forgot that this body had never drank alcohol before. After one gulp, he not only felt nauseated and uncomfortable, but also choked and coughed. Zhang Yuanshan had already had it. As expected, the very caring person handed me a cup of tea.

It was precisely because of this move that I truly felt that Zhang Yuanshan, who was usually as calm as a leader, was a friend worth making.

"Although my life was in danger and there was mission pressure at that time, I was much happier than now..." Zhang Yuanshan said painfully, poured another bowl of wine and drank it. Without waiting for Meng Qi's answer, he continued talking to himself, " I didn’t see Zhenzhen, but I knew she must be sad and in pain, because I was too.”

"What I had always planned was to go down the mountain and travel to the Northern Zhou Dynasty after breaking through the Zhenwu Beidou Formation, and take her home on the pretext of getting to know each other and being in love with each other. However, the head of the family and my father suddenly asked me to get engaged to Junior Sister Mingxi. ”

Meng Qi calculated the rhythm and knocked on the table gently, using the thumping sound to neutralize Zhang Yuanshan's scattered voice, trying his best to only hear it himself.

He didn't drink heavily anymore. The main purpose of drinking three bowls in a row was to let Zhang Yuanshan relax a little and create the feeling of talking. It would be shameful for the person who was trying to get drunk to get drunk.

Zhang Yuanshan drank another bowl and said with red eyes: "I know their intentions, so I can't refuse. My Zhang family seems to be beautiful, but it is not the case. For forty-seven years, no member of the clan has become a grandmaster. Being on the Earth Ranking was all supported by the ancestors, and it became increasingly difficult within the sect. However, the Yao family was prosperous, and there were grandmasters listed on the Earth Ranking for three consecutive generations. Now the Yao family brothers are all included in the Seven Sons of Zhenwu. "

"The Taoist lineage is pure, and as long as the overt and covert fighting among the lay branches does not exceed the limit, they will always do nothing to control it. The Yao family is aggressive and pressing step by step, not giving us a chance to breathe, so the alliance with the Song family, who is in the same situation, has become the most powerful. Good and most effective option.”

The Zhenwu sect is divided into Taoist and secular branches. Although the leader has always been exclusive to the Taoist branch, he does not prohibit the disciples of the secular branch from practicing the fundamental method, which is a wonder among the three sects of the Taoist sect.

Zhang Yuanshan spoke in a coherent manner and did not lose his basic rationality, but as he spoke, he became a little excited: "I am a descendant of the Zhang family. I owe all my flesh and blood to my parents. Food, martial arts, elixirs, Clothing, what kind of things are not given by my parents and family? The family has reached the current situation, how can I let my children fall into crisis? "

"My kindness is as heavy as a mountain." Meng Qi sighed.

Zhang Yuanshan poured a bowl of wine and said with a tearful tone: "But I can't bear to leave Zhenzhen. I don't want to see her sad, I don't want to make her suffer. I want to ride with her in the rivers and lakes and sing songs in the East China Sea..."

Meng Qi knocked on the table and listened quietly, and a sentence suddenly came to his mind: "The word love is the most hurtful."

Senior Brother Zhang, who was usually calm and gentle, and who was born with a leadership temperament, now has no trace of his usual demeanor. No matter who looks at him, he can only see a drunkard trapped in love.

After Zhang Yuanshan calmed down a little, Meng Qi said: "Senior Brother Zhang, you and I have a life-and-death relationship. The matter between the two of you is about family kindness and love. I love you forever, I really don’t know what to say or what suggestions to make, so I said before, I’ll listen to what you say. If you have any difficulties, I won’t say anything and will help you immediately. As a friend, I can only do to this.”

"But why is it that you have to marry?"

Zhang Yuanshan vented his anger, felt a little better, and said with a wry smile: "The Song family asked me directly. Junior sister Mingxi is one of the seven Zhenwu disciples, and they want to get married. Among the Zhang family's children, they only like me. Anyway, I am also willing to marry him." After mastering the Six Apertures, he initially mastered a top-notch sword move, ranking among the Seventh Master of True Martial Arts."

Meng Qi nodded thoughtfully. According to the time, Zhang Yuanshan used "Tianshi Diting Pill" to forcefully open his nose, perhaps due to the influence of his family's situation.

Zhang Yuanshan laughed at himself: "I have always been very clear that the basis of the alliance is not the engagement, but the interests of both parties. But my father told me, if you can't even get an engagement, how can you let others believe in the sincerity of your alliance? What does this make me do? reject?"

He was already very drunk, and he asked and answered himself: "I can't refuse. Among the seven Zhenwu sons of this generation, Yang He is the most favored, followed by Yang Tai and the Yao brothers. Junior sister Mingxi and I are quite different. Only by uniting can we be valued by the leader and the Taoist lineage.”

"Although Yang He only has four orifices opened, he is like Junior Sister Jiang back then. He understood a Dharmakaya-level killing move in the "Seven Sections of Zhenwu Sutra" at a young age. Even if it is only as rough as skin, it still makes people admire and fear him. "He rambled on in a divergent way, "The six orifices of Yangtai are stable, and I have practiced Tai Chi to a small degree. I have achieved the artistic conception. Not only is it no worse than anyone who has mastered the outdoor moves, but the foundation is more solid. It will be easy to make rapid progress in the future. The day before yesterday, I had already passed through the Zhenwu Beidou Formation and traveled down the mountain. "

"Yao Xinghen also has six orifices that are stable. He has figured out two outdoor killing moves early. His strength is better than mine. He is preparing to enter the Zhenwu Beidou Formation. Yao Xing is just seventeen years old and has already opened four orifices. He has initially mastered it. The sword moves at the peak of the exterior scene, he is a martial arts fanatic, dedicated to martial arts, and is favored by many elders..."

Listening to Zhang Yuanshan's words, Meng Qi secretly raised his tongue. The competition among the famous and decent sects was really terrible. Fortunately, he had already left Shaolin, and the Zhenzi generation had only started for seven or eight years. Shaolin martial arts often progressed slowly and had not yet blossomed. time.

"I can't compare with them now, so I can only do my best for the family." Zhang Yuanshan's eyes were hollow and his voice became ethereal, "Sometimes, I feel that my parents, expectations, betrothal, the seven Zhenwu sons, the head of the family, and the ancestors all seem like the same thing. The ropes tied to my body are like stones weighing on my heart, preventing me from being free and making me feel heavy and depressed. I wish I could cut off these shackles with a sword and give me freedom. "

"However, I only think about it occasionally, they are so good to me, how can I bear to let them down? I can only, can only..." His eye circles became more and more red, he poured a bowl of wine, raised his head and drank it.

Meng Qi shook his head and said seriously: "Senior Brother Zhang, although as a friend, I can only drink with you and help you with things, there is one thing I still want to say. No matter what decision you make, you must make it as soon as possible. Don’t be muddled and sticky.”

"If you value family members, then formally inform Miss Zhenzhen, completely cut off her thoughts, and give her a chance to recover. If you choose Miss Zhenzhen, then you must muster up the courage and be prepared to be expelled from the family. Make preparations, find a way to cancel the engagement, and try not to delay or hurt the innocent girl Mingxi. "

Zhang Yuanshan was in a daze, his eyes full of struggle, while Meng Qi knocked on the table habitually.

At this time, a drunken swordsman staggered over next to him. He cursed loudly: "Since you first came in, you kid has been knocking hard and knocking hard. It makes me so irritable. Do you think you are a woodpecker?"
