The Supreme Being

In the study room, Jin Ancheng solemnly bowed to the jade statue in front of him and muttered something.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, and the anxiety in his heart was slightly relieved, but there was always one thing stuck in his heart, making him uneasy.

"Hope God bless..." he breathed out.

"Yes, I hope God can bless you." A hoarse and harsh voice suddenly sounded in the room.

Jin Ancheng's back tensed, and without thinking, he pushed the jade statue down, making a shattering sound. At the same time, he turned around and performed the unique skill of "Yam Luo Chasing the Soul".

However, his hands were empty and he touched nothing.

Only then did Jin Ancheng see a mysterious man wrapped in a black robe sitting behind the desk. On his face was a simple mask of a child playing with a laughing monkey head painted on it.

When did he come in? Where are the guards? When Jin Ancheng saw the grinning monkey, a chill surged up from the soles of his feet, and he made a quick decision and rushed towards the window.

His eyes flashed, and he saw the smiling monkey face appearing in front of him again.

"If you run again, I will chop off your legs first." A hoarse and unpleasant voice reached Jin Ancheng's ears.

This frightening movement suppressed Jin Ancheng, and the other party did not take action directly, which made his determination to fight for his life fade a lot, so there were beads of sweat on his forehead and he said: "But the 'Shen Monkey' in 'The Twelve Phase God' 'gentlemen?"

If he can beat him, he can beat him later. If he can't beat him, if he attacks now, he will definitely anger the opponent, and his acupuncture points may be tapped, making the opportunity to escape become a dream.

"Now that you know me, give up your illusions and answer my questions honestly." Meng Qi continued in a hoarse voice.

Jin Ancheng made hidden moves with his hands and said with a smile on his face: "I wonder what Mr. Shenhou wants to ask?"

"I want to know what Duan Mingcheng did before he disappeared?" Meng Qi got straight to the point.

Jin Ancheng frowned: "Mr. Shenhou, this is actually nothing to ask. I have already explained it to Mr. Fei in detail. That night, Mr. Duan booked a private room and hosted a banquet for the young city lord and Mr. Fei. I called Qing Guer and rejected me. About half an hour later, the young city lord and Mr. Fei left one after another. Mr. Duan also came out to pay the bill and joked a few words with the familiar 'Yeyue', but he did not stay overnight. , leave directly.”

"He said no more than three sentences to me before and after, and they were all about the banquet."

"He should have disappeared on his way home, but there were no signs of a fight along the way."

"Really? But that's not the news I got." Meng Qi began to deceive Jin Ancheng.

Jin Ancheng's expression remained unchanged: "Mr. Shenhou may have been deceived by the rumors. The truth is what I said."

Meng Qi didn't say anything, and looked at Jin Ancheng silently. This atmosphere, coupled with the playful monkey head, made people feel particularly depressed.

Jin Ancheng said slightly awkwardly: "Mr. Shenhou, don't you believe it?"

"What do you think?" Meng Qi asked casually, and then said in a deep voice, "You seem to have three sons and two daughters, and you haven't had any grandchildren yet?"

"What do you mean?" Jin Ancheng's eyes became sharp, but his face was extremely ugly.

Meng Qi said leisurely: "If you don't tell the truth, I will kill them one by one in front of you to see how long you can bear it. Well, it is said that you love your youngest son the most, so let's start with him."

He definitely couldn't do such a thing, it was purely to scare Jin Ancheng, but the "Twelve Phase God" was ruthless, he would accept any task, and he would do whatever it took to complete the task, he had no bottom line, and he was famous, so Jin Ancheng couldn't help but not believe him.

Sometimes, a bad reputation can serve a good purpose.

Jin Ancheng's face became increasingly ugly: "Mr. Shenhou, everything I say is true, don't force me."

"You think I don't know anything?" Meng Qi snorted and deliberately turned sideways, "Your youngest son seems to live in the west courtyard, right?"

Jin Ancheng was furious, but did not lose his mind. While rubbing his body, he grabbed Meng Qi's throat and right hand with both hands. While letting go of his throat, he shouted loudly to alert the guards. He did not ask them to come to save him, but just asked for help. They make the noise louder. This is Tianding City, and the twelve beasts only dare to act in secret!

The move to the side was a false move. Meng Qi did not advance but retreated. He missed Jin Ancheng's hands like a ghost and crashed into the opponent's arms.

Jin Ancheng saw that Shen Hou's movements were strange, so he had to force his hands over his and grabbed Meng Qi's vest. His shout was temporarily stuck in his throat.

Meng Qi did not dodge, straightened his back and resisted. He drew his sword and pointed it directly at Jin Ancheng's throat.

After Jin Ancheng grabbed Meng Qi's vest, his fingers suddenly exerted force, but it was like grabbing a stone. Only a few "stone chips" flew around, and there was a sharp pain in his fingertips.

As soon as he secretly said something bad, the sword was placed on his neck.

Meng Qi clicked with his left hand and sealed several large acupoints in Jin'an. Jie Jie smiled strangely and said: "Master Jin, we are all gentlemen, why bother to use your hands and feet to beat and kill."

After deliberately irritating Jin Ancheng and showing a flaw, Meng Qi successfully captured him.

Under normal circumstances, Meng Qi wouldn't worry about not being able to defeat the opponent at all, but in the middle of the night, if he couldn't quickly restrain the opponent, it would easily alarm others and attract the Tianding City chief executive, the young city lord, and even the city lord Cui Xu.

"What do you want?" Although he was captured by mistake, as a master of martial arts, Jin Ancheng still had the air of a bachelor.

Meng Qi lowered his tone: "I want to hear the truth."

"I'm telling the truth." Jin Ancheng said, looking at the sword across his throat, his eyes flickering slightly.

Meng Qi smiled hoarsely and said, "You'd better be honest. Our Twelve Phase Gods have always been very reputable. If we say we'll kill your whole family, we will definitely kill your whole family."

Maybe it’s because the Twelve Phase God’s “golden sign” works, or maybe it’s because Jin Ancheng is old and values ​​his family more than anything else. He sighed and said, “I don’t want to say it, but I really can’t.”

"If you tell me, you still have a chance to escape with your family's belongings. If you don't tell me, your whole family will be killed now." Meng Qi was in a good mood and finally defrauded Jin Ancheng.

At this time, he also realized the benefits of "**" doing things. If Duan Xiangfei was here, with his upright status as the hero master, even if he could say such threatening words, Jin Ancheng would not believe it. When the "Twelve Phase God" opened his mouth, he knew that if the other party said he would kill the whole family, then he would really kill the whole family.

No wonder Duan Xiangfei asked the "Twelve Phase God" to investigate.

Jin Ancheng pondered for a moment and said: "That day, after Mr. Duan saw off the young city lord and the chief arrester, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he joked with Ye Yue for a few words and went out to a quiet courtyard in the back. He was still there. Booked a banquet to entertain other guests."

"The guest is wearing a black robe and a scarf covering his head. His appearance and age cannot be seen, but he should be a man. He is probably as tall as you, Mr. Shenhou, and has a thin build."

"After Mr. Duan entered the courtyard, he sent me away. I felt that things were strange and worried that it would be detrimental to the arrest of the young city lord and Mr. Fei, so I went around to the other side and listened in the corner. Their voices were very low, and I could only vaguely I heard the words Snow God Palace.”

"Snow God Palace..." Meng Qi repeated softly. After arriving in this world, most of the things he encountered were related to Snow God Palace.

Jin Ancheng looked at the laughing monkey head mask and continued: "It's about the Snow God Palace. I don't dare to be careless. Although I can't hear clearly, I still try my best. But gradually, there is no sound coming from the courtyard. I am shocked. Without caring about anything else, I walked back to the main entrance, only to find that it was empty, there was no one else, only the leftover food and wine."

"Master Duan has never appeared again since then."

"Are there any signs of fighting inside?" Meng Qi asked carefully.

Jin Ancheng shook his head: "Not only were there no traces of a fight, but there was also a piece of silver left. Maybe Mr. Duan left with the other party voluntarily, or maybe he had low martial arts and was easily captured by the other party."

"Is there anything special about silver? Are there any drugs or poisons in the food and wine?" Meng Qi racked his brains, trying to think of clues from the novels he had read.

Jin Ancheng shook his head again: "The silver belongs to Mr. Duan, and it has his family's imprint on it. There is nothing wrong with the food and wine, and there are no pieces of clothing left at the scene."

"Mr. Shenhou, I have told you everything I know."

The playful monkey head mask shook slightly, making Jin Ancheng a little uneasy, and then he heard the hoarse voice speak with a half-smile: "It's very clear, but there is a problem. The part you concealed seems not worth it. You are so secretive."

There is no problem in speaking openly about this part of the content, so why hide it?

Jin Ancheng's face suddenly turned pale, and after a long time he muttered: "Yes, Mr. Fei told me to hide it. I dare not not hide it."

"Fei Zhengqing?" Meng Qi looked into Jin Ancheng's eyes.

Jin Ancheng nodded: "Yes, after Mr. Duan disappeared, the first person who came to investigate was Mr. Fei. He had a handle on me, and his martial arts skills were better than mine. I didn't dare not listen. As for why he wanted to hide it, I really don’t know.”

"Yes, Master Jin is a man who knows the current affairs. It's a pity that I couldn't kill your whole family." Meng Qi chuckled and swayed out of the study in a strange way, disappearing from Jin Ancheng's sight in two or three times.

Jin Ancheng, whose acupuncture points were sealed, was naturally unable to stop him and pursue him. After taking a few breaths, he shouted loudly. Soon, the guards arrived and helped him unblock the acupuncture points in fear.

Then, with a livid face, he asked the guards to retreat, and he sat blankly on the chair in the study.

After half an hour, he slowly stood up, looked at the guards outside, and when they were not paying attention, he opened the window and slipped into the darkness outside, then turned out of the yard and ran in the other direction.

"Hmph, you are as cunning as a ghost, how can you be as 'informed' as I am..." High above, Meng Qi sat cross-legged in the shadow of the eaves, watching Jin Ancheng quietly touch the courtyard.

He had read many novels and knew that in similar situations, some changes would often occur. For example, someone came to kill Jin Ancheng and silenced him. For example, Jin Ancheng did not tell the whole truth. After he left, he went to report the people behind the scenes... and so on. After all this, although Meng Qi thought it was a novelist's words, he still decided to continue to lurk outside, observe the subsequent movements, and wait until dawn was about to leave before leaving.

He jumped onto the roof and followed Jin Ancheng quietly.
