Meng Qi Jiang took a deep breath and prepared to get up and fight, but he was weak and powerless, his injuries were not stable, and An Guo Xie who was chasing after him must be in no better shape!
But just as he was about to catch his breath, his dantian was a sharp pain, his whole body was weak and spiritless, and he stared blankly as An Guo approached him with a sly smile, waving his left hand to seal several of his major acupoints.
The aftereffect of being soaked in cold water after "Shexin Jue" is more severe than I imagined!
Meng Qi did not despair because he found that An Guo Xie surprisingly did not kill him directly, which meant that he still had a use, and as long as he was not dead, there were still opportunities!
Coughing violently, An Guo burst into wild laughter: "You're the most embarrassing enemy I've had in the past five years, and you're also the lowest-level opponent I've met in the past five years. To catch up with you, I completely ignored my injuries and damaged my foundation. Fortunately, I didn't let you escape, haha!"
That guy who kills randomly doesn't even count as an opponent.
He was seriously injured, although his strength remained at 60-70%, but after a brief pause, he came chasing again and hurt his foundation.
However, as long as the root cause is not continuous damage, under the adjustment of Dan medicine and Gongfa, it is still possible to recover. The magical Gongfa that can open the Xuan Guan at the Mei Xin during the Qi storage period, once missed, will never be found again!
"Tell me the technique to open your ancestral orifice, and I might spare your life." An Guo asked straightforwardly after taking a few deep breaths.
Meng Qi suddenly realized that this was what had been driving him to pursue himself!
If I had known this earlier, I could have used a different method!
His biggest mistake this time was misjudging how much Anguo Xie coveted his own desires. Normally, he would not have taken the risk of damaging his foundation or affecting his future promotion for the sake of helping an old man, even if there were punishments after failure. But with a single move that could easily open the Miao Xin Xuan Guan and help him step into the Half-Step Outer Scenery technique, it was worth taking such action!
The reason for the misjudgment was that he himself knew the truth about "Fantasy Form", knowing it wasn't as magical as it seemed, and subconsciously underestimated its value in the eyes of the ignorant masses. Otherwise, Anguo Xie would still be recovering from his injuries at this time, and after regaining some strength, he could have returned triumphantly, so how did he end up being captured?
Regret and frustration briefly surfaced, but were quickly suppressed by Meng Qi. It had come to this, thinking about it now was useless, so she pushed aside her emotions and looked for a way to escape.
"What makes you think I'll believe you?" Meng Qi asked calmly.
To be honest, he had no way of telling Anguo Xie about the Phantom Technique, because when he last used it, he had already traded it to the Master of the Six Paths, and if he were to pass it on privately, he would be erased.
An Guo Xie's mouth curled up with a wicked smile: "Little bald donkey, you're already in my hands, like meat on the chopping board, at my mercy. I won't make an oath to the heavens, nor do I need you to believe me, because you have no choice but to believe."
"As long as there's a request, there's a weakness. You don't make an oath, I'd rather die than say it." Meng Qi probed the bottom line of Anguo Xie, but he actually didn't know what a primordial spirit oath was.
An Guo's smile was retracted, and he coldly stared at Meng Qi: "Little bald donkey, it's not that easy to die, rest assured, I will make you live a life worse than death. Alas, this place lacks some torture tools, so it's better to take you back to 'Halle' for good processing. At that time, heh heh, you'll definitely cry and beg me to tell me the skills, asking me to kill you."
He looked up at the sky and muttered to himself, "I've been chasing for almost two days, I wonder how things are going on Lao Zu's side... I caught Xiao Tu Zi, so I shouldn't be blamed, right?"
He grabbed Meng Qi's back heart clothes and quickly returned to Liusha Village.
…………
The shifting sand converges, pedestrians are scarce, the towering poplar trees still have a thousand postures and hundred charms, but they are covered with a thick layer of sand, looking dull and dim.
The distant small mountain has collapsed and turned into countless rubble, burying the surrounding area.
A master-level exchange is truly terrifying!
An Guo Xie had long sealed off Meng Qi's mute acupoint and upper body meridians, and bound his hands behind him. He himself held the rope and walked towards "The First House of Hanhai".
He was very confident in Lao Zu and believed that the master-level Xuan Bei, even if he could save his life, would not be able to turn defeat into victory, so he waited for him to deliver himself at the inn.
If it were really like that, with the master's sensory ability, he would have been discovered long before gathering outside!
As they entered the inn, the sparse number of guests in the hall cast their eyes over, and upon seeing Anguo's distinctive white hair and youthful face, they all lowered their heads, eating silently, the noise ceasing abruptly.
This includes the three of Ma Gang, who were previously rejoicing that they didn't have the intention to rob Xuan Bei's master and disciple. Looking at the scene where they fought a few days ago, if they had robbed them, they might not have died, but they couldn't help it and were "enlightened" into the empty gate, living was worse than death.
At this time, seeing Meng Qi being captured by Anguo Xie, they felt the strength of the Crying Old Man's lineage even more.
" Ninth Girl, did Old Ancestor kill that monk?" asked An Guo Xie with a face that looked like someone owed her 30,000 taels of silver.
Jiuniang raised her head, and with a slender hand she slapped the table: "Can you also call Jiuniang?"
An Guo snorted: "Others may be afraid of you, but I won't. Answer my questions honestly."
"Get out, did you hear me? GET OUT!!"
An Guo was furious, but after seeing Qu Jiu Niang's icy gaze, he calmed down. What could intimidate Qu Jiu Niang was not him, but the Old Ancestor. If he provoked her and she scolded him, as long as no one died, the Old Ancestor would definitely not take action to seek justice. After all, he had many important things to attend to, and Qu Jiu Niang's background was mysterious, so no one knew what unnecessary trouble would be stirred up by offending her.
A good man doesn't take advantage of others when they're down. An Guo lowered his head and said, "Please tell me about the situation before that battle."
Qiu Jiuniang's pink lips moved slightly, her face wearing a disdainful expression, and she spat out a single word:
"Get out!"
An Guozi took a deep breath and pulled Meng Qi into the main hall, saying loudly: "Who can tell me the outcome of Lao Zu's fight with that monk?"
The leader of the three bandits, the one with a waist knife, said in a flattering tone: "An Guo, our ancestors and that monk fought all the way to the coast of the sea, after that we don't know what happened."
An Guo's eyelid twitched, and that monk was actually so powerful?
At this time, Xiao Er brought the dishes up and said with a smile: "I heard from the boss that they were evenly matched for a while and fought all the way to the depths of the vast ocean, but no one has returned yet."
An Guozi hesitated for a moment, then decided to take the little donkey and leave Liusha Village immediately, returning to Hale, lest Lao Zu fail to kill that monk and be counter-killed by him.
On the way, as long as he was forced to reveal that skill, he would immediately kill the little bald donkey!
He paused for a moment, then asked again: "And what about the little monk?"
Have your three junior brothers completed their task?
The little second said without thinking: "The two masters had just fought into the vast ocean, and the little monk ran out of the inn, saying that he wanted to find his master and brother. Afterwards, it seemed that he also entered the vast ocean and lost his trace."
Zhen Hui went to find himself? Meng Qi didn't know why, but his heart suddenly warmed up. However, Zhen Hui's aura was not yet fully formed, and the vast ocean was full of dangers. Would he get lost from now on?
This worry soon disappeared as Meng Qi thought of himself, his own situation seemed more worrying, so he should think of a way to escape from the "White-headed Vulture" first!
An Guozi cursed in a low voice: "Three of you, who are not enough to make things happen but have plenty of failures, can't even catch a little monk who has just started to cultivate his energy! Go back and see how your ancestor will deal with you!"
He thought it was the poor ultimate secret of Moko Fumo's fist that scared those three fools, causing them to hide in a distant place.
After inquiring about the details of the battle, Anguo Xie carried Meng Qi's back and rushed to Hanhai.
Jiǔ Niáng raised her head and gazed in the direction they had disappeared, her eyes deep and unfathomable, lost in thought.
Then she took out a white paper and wrote with her pen:
"The crying old man and the Shaolin Xuan Bei fought to a draw, and were washed away into the vast ocean. It is expected that Xuan Bei was seriously injured, while the crying old man escaped in defeat. This was because the crying old man had underestimated his opponent and lacked the determination to fight to the death, whereas Xuan Bei's hatred ran deep."
"Xuan Bei has two disciples, one is lost and the other was caught by Anguo Xie, in the future they may set a trap to lure Xuan Bei into a dead end."
"Both have the possibility of being pulled."
……
She stuck out her tongue, licked her lips, and suddenly became abnormally charming. Then she let out a breath, looked bewildered, and sighed softly:
"Since ancient times, Heaven's will has been high and difficult to ask..."
She rolled up the note and put it in her bosom without signing her name.
…………
In the vast sea, An Guo was afraid to linger and only wanted to return to Harer as soon as possible. He carried Meng Qi and rushed along the way without stopping his horse.
However, he ultimately damaged his foundation and his injuries only recovered to 50 or 60%. He couldn't hold on while continuing to rush along the road. By dusk, he had no choice but to find a few pieces of weathered rock in the middle, start a fire to roast meat, and meditate to regulate his breath.
Meng Qi ate a few pieces of antelope meat and drank some water, after which the feeling of emptiness and fatigue dissipated somewhat, but his forehead was still burning hot, dazed and dizzy, as if he had a serious illness.
However, what surprised him was that after practicing the "Easy Tendon and Bone Strengthening Chapter", his qualifications had improved, his tendons, bones and skeleton had improved, and his recovery ability was much stronger than expected. In addition, after opening up, his liver energy was endless, the sealed acupuncture points were loosened, and a fine thread-like internal energy began to condense inside his body.
He carefully and slowly mobilized his energy, attempting to blast open the sealed acupoint - although this was a shallow and unprofessional use of the Jin Zhong Zhao school's main technique for sealing and blasting acupoints.
In this process, Meng Qi has been paying attention to Anguo Xie's movements and found that after taking the wound medicine, he has been focusing on recovering from his injuries and has no time for anything else.
It had been half a day since the Qihole was sealed, and they themselves had loosened up quite a bit. Under Meng Qi's impact, it became even more precarious.
