Chapter 8: The Mysterious Reunion

  Meng Qi suddenly sat up with a start, panting heavily. He had just had a nightmare in which his true identity was exposed and he was slapped to death by the abbot who had obtained the Luohan Golden Body.

  Although he had never seen Fangzhang before, this dream was so clear that it made him shudder all over after waking up.

  "Where is this..." Suddenly, a crisp and clear female voice with a hint of vigilance pierced into Meng Qis ears.

  Who? How can there be a woman in the Zen room? Meng Qi was shocked, looked around, and suddenly became stunned on the spot. Is this still his own Zen room?!

  This is a square paved with stone blocks similar to Hanbaiyu, empty in the center and surrounded by carvings of dragon, phoenix, Qiu Niu, Xie Zhi and other celestial birds and beasts. Next to him, Jiang Zhimiao, the girl from the Washing Sword Pavilion, Zhang Yuanshan, a disciple of the True Martial Sect, and Qing Jingzheng, the heir of the Xuantian Sect, looked around with puzzled expressions on their faces.

  Meng Qi struggled to get up, equally bewildered and staring at all of this, unable to understand what had happened. He was sleeping soundly in the meditation room, so how did he end up here? And why did he encounter these exceptionally talented disciples from various sects? Was he still dreaming?

  Suddenly, Qing Jings face full of anger appeared in front of Meng Qi, his eyebrows flying high, and he roared: "What do you Shaolin want to do? Do you want to become the public enemy of all factions?"

  Meng Qi was completely baffled by what he was saying and looked at him with increasing confusion.

  "Lets not rush to conclusions just yet. Lets take a closer look at the back of the statue and see how things develop." Zhang Yuanshan maintained his calm demeanor.

  Jiang Zhi furrowed her brow slightly and said, "Little Monk is just a miscellaneous monk. Even if this matter has something to do with Shaolin, he wont be clear about it. Why make things difficult for him? Besides, I dont think we have anything thats worth Shaolin plotting against."

  Qing Jing waved his right hand in annoyance: "Isnt it obvious? Shaolin has a vacant position, and this Lu Di Shen Xian who obtained the Dragon Subduing Arhat Golden Body is not someone who can be deceived by anyone. Who could have quietly taken us away from Shaolin Temple, from our seniors side, without his Heaven Eye or Heaven Ear detecting it? Besides him taking action himself, I really cant think of any other possibility!"

  "I, I wasnt at Shaolin..." At this time, a timid-looking man in his thirties with a sturdy build and a rough goatee walked out from behind a statue.

  "Is there anyone else? Everyone come out and meet me, I am Zhang Yueshan." Zhang Yueshan was taken aback for a moment, then said loudly.

  "Zhang Shixiong, so youre here too." From behind different statues walked out two people, one was a tall girl with her hair tied up in a white handkerchief, her skin was wheat-colored, the other was an ordinary young man, his expression was solemn and serious.

  Zhang Yuanshan fell silent for a moment, his expression becoming even more solemn: "So it was Qi Xia, the junior sister of the Great River Sect. You also fell asleep and woke up in this room?"

  Jiang Zhi walked slowly to Meng Qis side, seemingly deep in thought, and said: "She is the youngest daughter of Qi Yuantong, the deputy leader of the Da Jiang Gang. She has also come to Shaolin this time."

  "I dont know..." Meng Qi could only answer honestly, countless thoughts swirling in his mind as he began to speculate what had happened to him and the others.

  "Yes, but when we woke up, our location was behind the stone statue. We heard someone talking on this side and didnt dare to come out for a while." Qi Xiaodai furrowed her brow, pointing at that despicable man, "Qing Jings guess is probably wrong. This is my Jiang Bangs Xiang Zhu, Jiang Zuo Yan Jia Wu Zi Beis Yan Wujing. He did not follow us to Shaolin and should still be in Jiangdong Maoling."

  "Right, right! Third Miss, I...I just won a big sum at the Maoling Tianzi No. 1 Casino and found some popular courtesans to sing for me, but when I woke up, I was in this inexplicable place!" Yan Wujings face was full of fear and panic.

  Jiang Zhiwei smiled slightly and said, "The wordless generation, along with the zombie fist schools master Yan Wuyi, are considered cousins. With such a high status, yet only being a fragrance master in the Da Jiang gang... it seems there is a reason for this..."

  Qing Jing frowned and walked up to Yan Wujiang, asking loudly: "You rascal, you must be used to lying all the time, how can you prove that what you said is not empty talk?"

  He still insists on his own views.

  His lips moved a few times: "You, you can go to the Maoling Tianzi No. 1 Casino and ask, see if I just won two thousand one hundred taels of silver!"

  He took advantage of Miss Three being present and gradually calmed down a bit.

  "Who is this?" Zhang Yuanshan furrowed his brow and turned to ask the ordinary-looking man with no smile.

  Jiang Zhiwei suddenly took a step forward, her two beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed: "This brother, I think Ive seen you? Ah, wasnt it among the disciples following the Huahua Sword Sect?"

  The man in green clothes and small hat, twenty years old, but without the vigor and eagerness that should come with this age. His face was like wearing an iron mask, no other expression except for solemnity. He nodded slightly: "Im honored that Meng Jiang misses me, I am Qi Zhongyan, a ordinary disciple of Huahua Sword Sect, this time I came to Shaolin with my master."

  Zhang Yuanshan patted his left hand with his right, revealing a clear look of confusion for the first time. This matter was really too strange, as it included future pillars of the four sects, ordinary disciples, and even low-ranking martial artists and sweepers, making it difficult to discern the selection criteria.

  Jiang Zhiwei pursed her lips, and her small nose wrinkled as she bitterly smiled: "I originally thought this time was aimed at the various disciples who came to Shaolin, but I didnt expect there would be Yan Xiangzhu in..."

  Qing Jing sneered: "Regardless of whether the people present have a real common ground, how many can quietly take us away from Shaolin? Humph, Empty Hear Godly Monk, Third on the Heavenly List, even if its Chun Yang Dao Tis Zhonghe, he cant do this!"

  He still targeted Shaolin, but couldnt figure out why they would do such a strange thing.

  Right!

  A melodious bell sound rose and attracted everyones attention to the center of the White Jade Plaza.

  "Welcome to the world of reincarnation!"

  "There is endless danger here, but you can also get everything you want from here!"

  A majestic and cold voice floated in with the tolling of the bell, causing Meng Qi to furrow his brow. In this kind of situation, he seemed to have seen or heard it somewhere before.

  "Who? Come out!" Qing Jings feet exerted force, swiftly rushing towards the center like a galloping horse. However, there was nothing but emptiness.

  "You may address me as The Master of the Six Paths." The voice continued.

  Meng Qi subconsciously turned his head to look, just in time to see Jiang Zhiwei and Zhang Yuanshans eyes shining brightly, sparkling like purple lightning bursting out of the darkness, intently and seriously staring at the source of the sound.

  Then they looked at each other and shook their heads.

  Meng Qis heart sank, could they also not find the source of the sound?

  Qing Jings right hand grasped the hilt of his waist knife, and he stopped there, saying loudly: "What is your intention in capturing us?"

  "Magnificent and cold voice said: The world is turning, you will experience one world after another, complete the tasks I release, accumulate good deeds, and good deeds can be exchanged for everything you want, whether its unparalleled martial arts, divine weapons, or elixirs of immortality, heavenly materials and earthly treasures. As long as youve heard of them, theyre all here; if you havent heard of them, theyre also here!"

  "And every time you complete a task, you will return to your own world, waiting for the start of the next cycle."

  Meng Qis mouth was half open, like a carp suffocating from lack of oxygen. This... this isnt Infinite Flow, is it? Am I not in the Xian Xia Wudao world? The style of painting doesnt match!

  "Get everything you want?" Qing Jing sneered and ridiculed the words of the "mysterious person".

  He came from the "Xuan Tian Sect", which was known as the orthodox school of the Heavenly Emperor, and he had seen a lot of divine skills and treasures. He didnt believe that this mysterious "Master of the Six Paths" could collect all those legendary things, after all, some were in his own sect!

  "The Master of the Six Paths Reincarnation" did not speak, and a light screen fell from the high white jade dome above, with "The Supreme Divine Art Scripture" written on it. Below that, the first line clearly read:

  "The Complete Tathagata Divine Palm, exchange price: one million merits."

  "Tathagata Divine Palm……" Who among those present had not heard of this peerless divine art? They all took a deep breath, knowing that among the major schools of martial arts in the world, there were two sects that took its incomplete moves as their foundation! The Tathagatas Golden Body represented the ultimate truth!

  Meng Qis heart had unknowingly become fiery hot, temporarily forgetting about the issue of "not matching painting styles".

  Then, Jiang Zhiweis voice was filled with excitement as he read out the second line: "The Seven Swords of Heaven, missing the third and sixth forms. Exchange price: 7.5 million good deeds."

  Zhang Yuanshans fists clenched quietly, and the two fundamental divine skills of the Zhenwu Sect were derived from the seventh move "Dao Mie Dao Sheng" of "Jietian Qi Jian".

  Qing Jing was taken aback for a moment, then sneered: "Lacking the third and sixth swords, isnt that having everything...?"

  As he spoke, his laughter gradually subsided, and this way of indicating what was missing was more convincing than writing everything down directly, as if the missing thing really existed!

  "All I lack are the third and sixth swords..." Jiang Zhis lips moved slightly, her bright and beautiful face radiating dazzling light, as if pursuing the "Seven Swords of the Transcendent" was her greatest dream.

  Xianjian Pavilions founder also obtained the first move of "Qietian Seven Swords", "Zhandao Jianwo", and created the "Taishang Sword Classic" which is a direct method to achieve the realm of the sword. He was able to condense the "Taishang Dao Body". Before he passed away, he expressed his regret three times for not being able to see the remaining six moves of Qietian Seven Swords, saying "Shenhan".

  Meng Qi swallowed hard, his eyes dropping again to see a familiar name: "Complete Eight-Nine Xuan Gong, exchange price, 9.5 million good deeds."

  "Ba Jiu Xuan Gong, how come Ive never heard of it?" Qing Jing seemed to have forgotten his mockery towards the "Master of Six Paths Reincarnation", and muttered in puzzlement.

  Jiang Zhiwei, Zhang Yuanshan and Qi Xia shook their heads, indicating that they had never heard of it either.

  But Meng Qis heart was wildly screaming:

  "Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces! Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces!"

  The martial arts behind this page are not a few legendary things that Jiang Zhiwei and others have heard of, such as "Yao Huang Dian", "Ren Huang Jin Shu", "Feng Huang Yu Huo Jue" and so on. There are also some fundamental skills of certain sects, such as "Tian Di Yu Ce", "Zhen Wu Qi Jie Jing", "Tai Shang Jian Jing" and so on.

  Moreover, except for "Tian Di Yu Ce" missing the middle volume and "Ren Huang Jin Shu" lacking the third page, all the others are complete!

  "Its actually a complete book..." Zhang Yuanshans eyes narrowed slightly, and Jiang Zhiwei also placed her right hand on the hilt of her sword.

  As a proud disciple of the sect, seeing their own fundamental divine art being listed here for exchange, they naturally found it hard to calm down.

  Normally, for those who covet the martial arts of their own sect, the major schools have always been relentless, pursuing them to the ends of the earth if necessary, and eliminating them.

  Meng Qi was not a qualified Shaolin disciple, and he didnt feel deeply about it. Instead, he was shocked by the few martial arts at the bottom that he was "familiar" with, such as "Tian Yao Tu Shen Ce", "Hun Tian Bao Jian", "Sheng Mo Yuan Tai" and so on.

  The divine skills on this page, the lowest exchange price is also 150,000 for "Easy Tendon Scripture", and the highest is 1 million for several peerless scriptures such as "Tathagata Divine Palm", making peoples blood boil with excitement.
