In the days that followed, Meng Xiuyuan stayed at the inn and never left the house again.
During this period, only Li Jing and Li Shimin came once and chatted with Meng Xiuyuan for a while.
According to what the two people said, the story of Meng Xiuyuan breaking into the Jing Nian Zen Sect alone and taking away He's Bi has been widely spread outside, causing shock in the world.
Even the news of the battle between Meng Xiuyuan and the four great Buddhist monks a month later was inexplicably leaked in advance, and everyone in Luoyang City knew about it.
Overnight, Meng Xiuyuan's reputation skyrocketed, from being just a young master who attracted much attention to becoming the center of public opinion in the world.
Both the political sects and the aristocratic families are paying close attention to this matter. Those with a little resources and channels have begun to do their best to investigate Meng Xiuyuan's background.
After all, there are not many people like Meng Xiuyuan who openly oppose Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Sect and become famous by stepping on these two giants of righteousness for thousands of years.
There are a lot of discussions in the world. Some people say that he is a genius. At a young age, he has reached the level of a great martial arts master like Ning Daoqi and Song Que, who is difficult to rival. Some people say that he is resourceful and relies on conspiracy and good luck.
, and then stole the Heshi Bi from the Jing Nian Temple.
No matter which point of view people hold, they all hold the same idea, that is, they are very much looking forward to the decisive battle between the four great Buddhist monks and Meng Xiuyuan in January.
Hearing this, Meng Xiuyuan could guess without much thought that the news should be spread intentionally by people in the Demon Sect.
After all, the Heshibi incident had been deliberately stirred up before. It was originally a big move by Cihang Jingzhai and the Buddhist sect behind him in the troubled times. Now it is reported that the jade seal has been taken by others, which can be said to be a major blow to the reputation of the Buddhist sect.
The four great Buddhist monks who had evaded the world for many years gathered together just to deal with Meng Xiuyuan, a young man in the world. In the end, no matter whether they win or lose, Buddhism will inevitably have the reputation of bullying the small and bullying the small.
Meng Xiuyuan didn't feel anything bad about this. Instead, he felt that the Demon Sect had unintentionally done him a favor and saved him a lot of trouble.
After this much-anticipated battle, the reputation of the Buddhist sect was greatly reduced, and Meng Xiuyuan was able to free up his hands to concentrate on solving the hidden dangers of the demonic sect.
…
In the south of Luoyang City, there is a stone arch bridge spanning both sides of the Luoshui River. The bridge is three hundred steps long and more than twenty steps wide. It is a spectacular sight.
Because it is located at the foot of the Emperor and at the ferry port of Tianjin, this bridge is also named "Tianjin Bridge".
It was late at night, and the moon was bright and clear. The weeping willows were like smoke on both sides of the Luoshui River, the waves were sparkling under the Tianjin Bridge, the surrounding scenery was beautiful, and the sound of temple bells could be heard from time to time in the city.
Meng Xiuyuan stood isolated on the top of the bridge, looking at the "Tianjin Dawn Moon", known as one of the eight scenic spots in Luoyang, and calmed down.
Come to think of it, there are bound to be many uninvited guests coming here tonight, and he needs to deal with them one by one.
Sure enough, after not waiting for a long time, two large ships suddenly sailed up the Luoshui River. The ships sailed across the water without any lights on, like ghosts in the dark night.
"The person on the bridge is Meng Xiuyuan, Mr. Meng?"
A loud shout came from the darkness, the voice was clear and clear, revealing that the speaker must be a young woman with quite good martial arts skills.
"Yes, which friend is on the boat?"
Meng Xiuyuan was not worried and just returned calmly.
"Whether it is an enemy or a friend, it all depends on the prince's wishes.
If the young master is willing to hand over the Heshi Bi, then he will be our honored guest..."
The woman in the darkness had a bit of unruliness in her words. She obviously belonged to the group of people who were skeptical about Meng Xiuyuan's achievements. She didn't say anything polite and went straight to the topic.
Meng Xiuyuan chuckled lightly when he heard this and refused to pay attention to her. He just turned his head and looked at the bright moon above his head.
"What a good boy, so courageous, maybe he really has some abilities..."
Another voice came from the darkness, but it was different from the one who spoke just now. It was a rather old female voice. The voice was hoarse and heavy, which was very ugly.
Immediately, they saw a sudden light on the Luoshui River. The two large ships, which were originally without lights, had more than ten lanterns burning at the bows at the same time.
On the observation decks of the two ships, there were more than ten warriors sitting or standing on each side. They all looked at Meng Xiuyuan with burning eyes, not concealing the alertness in their eyes.
The leader was an old woman sitting on the Taishi chair. She had white hair and a stooped figure, but she looked very aristocratic.
"I am You Chuhong..."
The old woman coughed twice first, and then simply said without explanation.
Obviously, the meaning is that as soon as her name is announced, Meng Xiuyuan should naturally understand her noble status and cooperate obediently.
But the embarrassing thing was that although the name sounded familiar to Meng Xiuyuan, he couldn't remember its origin for a while.
"You Chuhong... Judging from your clothes, you must be from a well-connected family.
Yuwen Valve? Or Dugu Valve?"
Meng Xiu looked at the people on the boat from a distance and guessed with a slight frown.
"Presumptuous!" "You're brave!"
As soon as Meng Xiuyuan said this, the other party immediately mistook it as a deliberate provocation, and they started shouting.
Among them, a beautiful woman standing behind the old lady was the most excited, staring at Meng Xiuyuan:
"Meng Xiuyuan, how dare you disrespect grandma?!
Okay, I, Dugu Feng, will ask you for some tips today to see if you are really worthy of being so arrogant..."
As she spoke, the girl floated away from the bow of the ship, holding a long sword, and swept straight towards the Tianjin Bridge. Listening carefully to her words, it was the same proud voice that first greeted Meng Xiuyuan in the darkness.
Meng Xiu shook his head secretly at the sight, and said that these powerful families were really domineering, and they would take action whenever they disagreed, and they just wanted to teach each other a lesson.
But at this moment, he felt extremely vigilant in his heart, and he sensed that a crisis was coming.
Sure enough, the next moment, there was a huge vibration from the bowstring, followed by the sound of countless arrows piercing the air from all directions.
At first glance, it sounds like just a powerful bow firing, but in fact it is more than ten bows firing in unison. Because the timing is so uniform, it sounds like there is only one sound of the bowstring, but countless sounds of arrows breaking through the air.
Moreover, these bows and arrows are heavy in texture and extremely powerful. In terms of speed, angle, and power, they are the best that Meng Xiuyuan III has ever seen.
Obviously, this must have been planned for a long time. There are many sharpshooters buried on both sides of the Tianjin Bridge, hoping to kill Meng Xiuyuan with one blow.
"snort!"
Meng Xiuyuan snorted coldly, and swept the air sword with his fingertips. Then he heard a series of "ding-dong-dang" sounds, and countless broken branches and broken arrows fell on the bridge. Looking under the moonlight, he saw that the arrows on the ground were all of a faint and deep color.
, obviously the material is extraordinary.
Dugu Feng, who was originally attacking, was obviously unaware of this scene. He frowned and quickly stopped and turned in the air. He escaped from the range of the arrow net at the critical moment and was not implicated.
"Pa bang bang..."
A burst of applause suddenly came from the shore, and then with a rustle of footsteps, more than ten masters with foreign appearance suddenly surrounded Meng Xiuyuan from both ends of the Tianjin Bridge.
"I never expected that such a young and peerless master would come out of the Central Plains.
It's a pity that you are destined to not be able to walk off this Tianjin Bridge tonight..."
When writing the copy of Datang, it was really easy to get stuck and it was very uncomfortable.
Write less today and find a way to write more tomorrow.
After planning, try to write it as concisely as possible, and complete this copy as soon as possible without affecting the integrity of the story.
