In his impression, except for the "Secret of Immortality" which circulates around the world and falls into the hands of destined people from generation to generation, the remaining three magical arts are not accessible to ordinary people.
"Tianmo Ce belongs to the Demon Sect," "Cihang Sword Codex" belongs to Cihang Jingzhai, and "The Illustrated Book of the God of War" is even more secretive, with almost no descendants in the world.
Although the Giant Whale Gang is well-informed, the focus of collecting intelligence on weekdays is on the major powerful forces and rebel leaders in the world. Like Meng Xiuyuan Shenghuai's "The Secret of Immortality is Right in Front of Me," Yun Yuzhen is not very concerned about it.
.
How could a mysterious reclusive sect like the Demon Sect and Cihang Jingzhai be able to trace their whereabouts so easily?
Unexpectedly, when Yun Yu really saw Meng Xiuyuan's suspicious face, she only smiled slightly, and then said in a soft voice:
"Mr. Meng, although Yuzhen is just a commoner wallowing in this troubled world, I sincerely admire a chivalrous person like you.
No matter whether our deal today can be successful or not, Yuzhen hopes to make the young master as a friend.
So Mr. Meng can rest assured that Yu Zhen will never deceive you easily..."
At this point, Yun Yuzhen took another half step closer to Meng Xiuyuan, leaning against the side of Meng Xiuyuan's arm, raising his head and whispering in Meng Xiuyuan's ear:
"To show sincerity, Yu Zhen can reveal some news to the young master for free.
In these troubled times, although the descendants of Cihang Jingzhai have not yet come out to act, the Demon Sect is already unwilling to be lonely and has become active everywhere.
An 'Iron Cavalry Club' recently appeared in the south of the Yangtze River. It has expanded rapidly and in a short period of time has ranked among the 'Eight Gangs and Ten Clubs' in the world.
It is said that its leader, Ren Shaoming, has the blood of the Tiele people in the north. He may even have been sent by the Tiele people to stir up trouble in the Central Plains. Therefore, he was very cruel to us Han people and deliberately used his troops to cause trouble in all directions.
The two generals under him, 'Evil Monk' Fa Nan and 'Yanni' Chang Zhen, are both disciples of the largest sect in the Demon Sect, the 'Yin Kui Sect'.
These two men have always been gangsters in the south of the Yangtze River. They committed murder, arson, rape and robbery. Now, due to the protection of powerful forces in the Iron Cavalry, they have become more and more unscrupulous in their evil deeds. No one can do anything to them.
If my guess is correct, this 'Iron Cavalry Club' was created by the Yingui sect and the Tiele people, with the intention of sharing a piece of the pie in this troubled world.
For a benevolent and chivalrous man like Mr. Meng, whether it is to eradicate evil for the sake of the people in the world, or to search for the whereabouts of "Tian Mo Ce" from their bodies, it is a good choice..."
Yun Yuzhen's breath was like orchid, and the fragrant wind from her mouth blew in Meng Xiuyuan's ears.
But after Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he just frowned and was moved by the information revealed in her words.
It can be guessed that a large part of the reason why Yun Yuzhen took the initiative to bring up this valuable information was because she had some entanglements with the 'Iron Cavalry Club' and wanted to use the power of Meng Xiuyuan, a peerless master, to eliminate one of her opponents.
.
But Meng Xiuyuan could also see that Yun Yuzhen was not lying at this moment. The Iron Cavalry Association was indeed as evil as she said. It was the nail planted by the Demon Sect to support the Tie Leren to the Central Plains.
“Gang Leader Yun, what do these so-called ‘Demon Sect’ people want?
Why do you want to unite with the northern nomads and deliberately go to our Central Plains to commit evil and harm your own compatriots?"
Meng Xiu looked at Yun Yuzhen from a distance and asked coldly.
In the past few years, due to his memory lag, he didn't know much about the magic sect in this world, and he didn't know its specific teachings and purpose. Therefore, he only regarded the so-called "magic sect" as a secret organization, and did not carry any information with him.
Look at it through colored glasses.
Even when Lu Miaozi asked him to kill Zhu Yuyan, the leader of the largest demon sect, the Yingui Sect, he did not agree easily because he was afraid of killing an innocent person by mistake.
After all, the so-called "Demon Cult" he came into contact with last time had a bad reputation in the world, but it was the main force in fighting against the Yuan Dynasty and expelling the Tartars, and it made great contributions to the people of the world.
But now when he heard Yun Yuzhen talk about the Yin Gui sect's support of the Iron Cavalry Association, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and his impression of this so-called "Demon Sect" changed greatly.
"Haha, Mr. Meng's question is quite interesting. What do these people in the Demon Sect want to do? I can't answer it right now.
Yuzhen only knows that the reason why these so-called demon sect members are not tolerated by the decent sects is because most of them regard the morality and etiquette of the world as rubbish and only act on their own initiative.
As long as it is beneficial to themselves, the so-called "colluding with outsiders to harm compatriots" and "harming innocent people" are nothing to them..."
Meng Xiuyuan nodded silently after hearing this, and did not reply to Yun Yuzhen anymore. He ducked past her and immediately entered the cabin.
Although Meng Xiuyuan did not fully believe Yun Yuzhen's remarks, he kept them in his heart and waited to be verified with his own eyes in the future.
…
For more than ten days, the giant ship sailed northward along the canal.
Due to the prestige and prestige of the Jukun Gang, no matter which force they pass through along the way, the other party is willing to make it convenient. Therefore, the journey is very smooth, and they are about to reach the destination of this trip, Pengcheng.
Since the conversation with Yun Yuzhen that day, Meng Xiuyuan, apart from practicing in his room every day and giving advice on Zhang Yong's martial arts, the rest of the time he likes to stand alone on the deck and silently watch the scenery on both sides of the canal.
Seeing the thoughtful look on Meng Xiuyuan's face, the Giant Whale Gang, Zhang Yong and others did not dare to come forward and disturb his purity most of the time.
It was not until the evening before arriving at the destination that Li Jing approached him. While looking at the scenery on the shore, he asked him:
"Mr. Meng, if my guess is correct, when we arrive tomorrow, you are not going to take a boat with us to continue north, are you?"
"How did Brother Li guess it?" Meng Xiuyuan was surprised when he heard the sound and asked Li Jing.
Li Jing smiled heartily and answered:
"Since Mr. Meng talked with Gang Leader Yun that day, his thoughts have been written all over his face. Why can't I see it?"
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he secretly sighed at how powerful Li Jing was. He smiled slightly, nodded and said:
"It seems that when it comes to insight into people's hearts, I am far inferior to Brother Li.
I do have other plans and cannot send you three to Xingyang."
"Young Master, there is no need to worry about this matter. Brother Zhang Yong has made rapid progress in martial arts in recent days, and is no longer something ordinary young men can intrude upon.
Plus, he and I are on the way and supporting each other, so there won't be any danger..."
Li Jing was very free and easy about the separation from Meng Xiuyuan. He just smiled and responded, and then became concerned about Meng Xiuyuan:
"I just don't know what exactly Gang Leader Yun said that made Mr. Meng so interested in him?
That woman was able to preside over such a giant as the Jukun Gang at such a young age, so she obviously had a lot of scheming.
Mr. Meng should be careful not to be manipulated by her."
Although Meng Xiuyuan was not as close to Li Jing as he was to Zhang Yong, there was no sense of separation or defensiveness. When he heard him mention this matter, he immediately spoke in detail about what he had discussed with Yun Yuzhen that day:
"Brother Li, have you heard that there is a force in the south of the Yangtze River called the 'Cavalry Club'..."
After Li Jing listened carefully to Meng Xiuyuan's narration, he thought for a moment, nodded solemnly, and answered:
"About this matter, Yunyu really shouldn't have lied. Although the information I heard is not as detailed as hers, it is still pretty much the same.
That Ren Shaoming's Iron Cavalry Club was indeed running rampant in the Jiangnan area and doing whatever they wanted, and the evil monk and Yanni were indeed notorious.
It's just that I don't know whether they are really Tiele people and come from the Yingui sect..."
At this point, with Li Jing's wisdom, he could guess what Meng Xiuyuan was thinking these days. But precisely because of this, his expression suddenly changed, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly spoke to Meng Xiuyuan to persuade:
"Mr. Meng, if you are not fully prepared, you'd better not get involved in the Yingui Sect's affairs rashly.
I have heard that the Yingui Sect, as the largest sect of the Demon Sect, is the same as the legendary Cihang Jingzhai, a supreme and mysterious behemoth in the martial arts world.
Sects like theirs have a long history, which can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Whenever there is a slight chaos in the world, they will come out to cause trouble. Although many wise kings and wise ministers in the past dynasties want to eliminate this hidden danger, no one has ever succeeded, but they often suffer from it.
Mr. Meng, you are alone. No matter how high your kung fu is, you may not be able to withstand the sneak attack and siege of many of the top masters.
As long as you offend them, you may never have peace in the future..."
Meng Xiuyuan heard this and knew that Li Jing was sincerely concerned, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. However, he did not directly comfort him, but asked:
"Brother Li, you said before that you wanted to visit Dadu. Why?"
Li Jing did not expect that Meng Xiuyuan would mention this matter. He paused for a moment, then turned to look at the sunset on the horizon and said with emotion:
"In these troubled times, a man should make great achievements.
Although Li Jing has mediocre abilities, he also has his own ambitions.
I want to see if the Sui Dynasty is still worth saving. If not, I will choose a wise master to help him pacify the world and reorganize the country as soon as possible!"
Meng Xiuyuan smiled happily and said to Li Jing:
"Brother Li is so ambitious. In these troubled times, what we need most is heroes like you.
I'm just an ordinary person with some knowledge of martial arts, and I won't be of much help in this civil strife and struggle for hegemony.
With or without me, in a few years, there will probably be a hero in the world who can restore peace to the people, and even create a great country...
However, if there are people in the world who take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble and cause harm to the world, then the matter is still within the scope of my ability.
After all, it’s too big, so everyone just talks with their fists and swords.”
Li Jing was shocked when he heard this and felt bad about Meng Xiuyuan's attitude. He wanted to persuade Meng Xiuyuan a few more words not to look down on those demon sect rivals.
But as soon as he raised his head and looked up, he was frightened by the faint glint in Meng Xiuyuan's eyes, and he swallowed back all the words that came to his lips.
At this moment, Li Jing felt inexplicably that Mr. Meng in front of him was probably not talking big words.
…
On the evening of the second day, the Jukun arrived in Pengcheng.
Meng Xiuyuan did not have any further entanglements with the woman Yun Yuzhen. As soon as the ship docked, he said goodbye and left with Li Jing, Zhang Yong and Su Su.
There was no war nearby at this time, and shipping on the canal was developed. It was easy to find another suitable boat, and the three of them turned to continue their journey north to Xingyang.
At the time of parting, except for Li Jing who had known about it in advance, both Zhang Yong and Su Su were quite reluctant to part with Meng Xiuyuan.
After being nostalgic for a long time, the three of them boarded the boat and set sail at the urging of the boatman. Meng Xiu waved goodbye to them from afar, and did not turn around until the boat was drifting away in the wind.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and there were few people on the river bank, only stars and fishing fires dotted it.
Meng Xiuyuan planned to stay in the city for the night first, and after dawn tomorrow morning, he would see if he wanted to drop by to see the Second Young Master Li who was in Pengcheng.
But while walking along the shore, a huge ship on the river suddenly caught his attention.
This boat was very large. Perhaps due to the draft, it could not get close to the canal bank like other small boats, but could only stop in the middle of the river.
At the same time, the appearance of this giant ship is also very eye-catching. Both its appearance and flag are full of exotic sentiments and are very different from other Chinese ships on the river.
However, what caught Meng Xiuyuan's attention was not its appearance, but the faint sounds of shouting, swearing and fighting coming from the boat.
The sound came from afar and was extremely thin and weak. If it wasn't for Meng Xiuyuan's skill at this time, it would have been difficult to detect it.
At first, Meng Xiuyuan only thought that this was a common fight in the rivers and lakes, and didn't pay much attention to it. But later, after using his skills, he heard a female voice shouting vaguely angrily, "beast" and "stay away from me", and he knew
Something is wrong.
Without thinking much, Meng Xiuyuan immediately jumped up, flew across the river, and landed directly on the deck of the giant ship.
To Meng Xiuyuan's surprise, he saw no signs of fighting on the ship. The deck was clean and tidy, and it did not seem to have been invaded by some bandits.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Meng Xiuyuan believed that his ears were not wrong, so he immediately ignored etiquette and dodged directly into the cabin of this giant ship.
Just like on the deck, there were still no signs of fighting in the cabin. Only the sounds of fighting and cursing could be heard faintly from the bottom floor, and there was a faint smell of women's rouge powder in the air.
It wasn't until he passed a corner along the corridor that he saw several women in warrior uniforms falling to the ground quietly, as if they were falling asleep.
Meng Xiuyuan secretly thought that something was wrong, so he immediately used the "Shen Nong's Poison Avoidance Technique", and then felt that his mind was slightly clearer. Only then did he confirm that he had been gradually poisoned without knowing it.
Becoming more and more convinced that someone was committing evil, Meng Xiuyuan hurriedly unfolded his movements and followed the sounds of shouting and fighting to the bottom of the cabin.
Until the distance got closer and closer, the voices of a man and a woman talking became clearer and clearer.
"You beast, I won't let you go when my mother comes back!"
"Haha, your mother said the same thing back then, but don't I still live well now?"
"Even if I die, I will never ask you to insult me!"
"My sweetheart, don't worry, I won't let you hurt yourself..."
In the time it took these four sentences to go back and forth, Meng Xiuyuan had already arrived at the door of a luxurious room on the bottom floor of the giant ship.
"Who is looking for death and dares to disturb my good deeds?!"
The man in the room was obviously extremely skilled in martial arts, and he actually noticed Meng Xiuyuan's approach from a distance, and struck the door with a palm in the air in advance, perfectly blocking Meng Xiuyuan's entrance route.
In terms of the investigation and prediction of this attack alone, he actually surpassed Meng Xiuyuan.
However, Meng Xiuyuan's Beiming Qi was automatically activated, and it was not painful to resist his palm force. He almost did not pause at all, and he still ducked into the door.
Looking up, I saw a man and a woman standing opposite each other in the room. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. What was even more surprising was that they looked about 50% similar.
"Isn't it worth it?"
Meng Xiuyuan walked slowly between the two of them, vaguely protecting the injured girl behind him, and asked softly at the same time.
When he heard the name, although he couldn't remember it for a moment, he felt it sounded familiar to him.
