Chapter 502

"Thank you, Ennea Monkey. I'm very grateful for your gift."

As he said this, the atmosphere in the main hall became indescribably tense. The expressions of the 20 masters were both surprised and doubtful, but they could not hide their unhappiness.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ennea Monkey was able to steal the white jade Buddha statue without anyone noticing. This was truly shocking and unbelievable!

But no matter how unbelievable it was, the truth was right in front of them. They had to believe it. For a moment, some were flushed, some were livid, some were trembling, and some were gnashing their teeth.

"How could this be?" Someone finally roared.

"There must be a mole!" The old man in a fortune robe glared at the others.

Unless Ennea Monkey had become a Buddha or a saint, this was the only possibility!

Seeing that the crowd was about to argue, You Tongguang sighed. "You are all my good friends. Don't let this hurt our friendship. The white jade Buddha statue is just a worldly possession."

"Old You, this concerns our reputation. Don't say anything. The white jade Buddha statue is not big, but it can be easily found. I'll let everyone search it first!" The old man in the fortune robe patted his chest frankly.

To prove their innocence, everyone agreed. But after a round of searching, no one, including You Tongguang, had the white jade Buddha statue.

The scene fell into an awkward silence again.

…

In the hidden places around You's Mansion, everyone became excited when the loud noise broke out. They looked around, looking for the figure "running" in the dark.

Mengqi could not help but criticize the "boiling" situation. It was like waiting for a superstar to show up.

After a while, the chaos in You's Mansion gradually calmed down. The night grew darker.

"Ennea Monkey backed off?" Nie Yao's round face was full of disappointment. She thought that Ennea Monkey would fight against the 20 masters. If that was the case, she would be able to finish him off.

"Of course, 20 masters surrounded the white jade Buddha statue. Even a grandmaster wouldn't be able to get it, let alone Ennea Monkey. Hehe, he must have backed off. His reputation will be ruined, "Ji Xin said with disappointment and joy.

Ning Daogu and Yue Shishi had the same expression. Obviously, they had similar thoughts. But thinking of the master beside them, they turned around and asked sincerely, "Master Zhen Ding, what do you think?"

"What do I think?" Mengqi laughed. "Ennea Monkey must have some confidence. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to provoke Donor You."

"Maybe Ennea Monkey's purpose is something else, and the Buddha statue is just a cover. Anyway, the Twelve Animal Zodiac Gods have always been known for their ruthlessness, insidiousness, and cunning. Losing their reputation won't affect him at all," Ning Daogu said thoughtfully.

The Jianghu people won't laugh at Ennea Monkey as long as his real purpose is achieved. Ennea Monkey will be even more fearful. "

Just as he finished speaking, there was a slight commotion in front of him. It didn't calm down quickly, but became noisier and more chaotic, gradually spreading toward them.

"Ennea Monkey stole the Buddha statue!"

"Ennea Monkey took the Buddha statue without a sound!"

Ning Daogu, Yue Shishi, and the others could not help but exclaim in surprise. They were dumbfounded and could not come back to their senses.

"Monkey. Twenty masters surrounded the white jade Buddha statue. Even a mosquito can't get in! "

"Could it be that he directly defeated 20 experts?"

"If so, I can only sigh that Ennea Monkey is a grandmaster. But didn't he say he stole without a sound? It's hard to imagine. He's like a ghost! "

Soon, they came back to their senses. They discussed with shock, doubt, and excitement. They felt it was worth waiting for half a night. Ennea Monkey was mysterious and scary!

As Meng Qi listened to the exclamations around him, an almost invisible smile appeared on his face.

…

Half a day ago, in the woods near Dabei Temple.

"This is the treasure map. Where's my son?" You Tongguang's smile was gone. His face was dark.

"Of course in a safe place. I'll tell you the location after I confirm the treasure map. You can pick him up yourself." Mengqi was still wearing the smiling monkey mask.

He had been asking around for information, but no one knew what happened in Dabei Temple last night. It was as if the battle between the Sword God in White and the eight Animal Gods was just his illusion. There was no information about the Sword God in White's injury or death, nor was there any rumor that the Animal Gods failed and died.

"I'll give you the treasure map." You Tongguang's eyes were cold.

Meng Qi leisurely said, "There are four pieces of the treasure map, and I don't know when I'll be able to collect all of them. I'm just giving it a try, so I'm not too keen on it. On the other hand, although you have three sons, only the youngest is capable. I can give up on the treasure map, but can you give up on You Hongbo?"

"You!" You Tongguang said angrily.

Mengqi laughed in a hoarse voice. "So, you have to listen to me."

"If anything happens to Hongbo, I'll tear you into pieces even if I have to spend all my money." You Tongguang gnashed his teeth and threw the treasure map to Mengqi.

Mengqi took it and found it was not very old. It should be a new copy. He had an idea. After a quick glance, he said, "Have you given the original to Cui Xu?"

"Yes, this is the copy I left." You Tongguang didn't hide it.

"I'll believe you this time. If the treasure map is fake, we can't do anything to you, but we can't do anything to your family. Unless you can make them never go out again, they won't be able to hide forever. "Meng Qi casually said the villain's lines.

You Tongguang snorted. "I won't risk my son. Can you tell me the location now?"

"No hurry. I still have a few questions to ask." Meng Qi chuckled.

"Didn't you say you only wanted the treasure map?" You Tongguang was very angry.

Mengqi snorted and tried to make his eyes cold. "I said, you have to listen to me."

You Tongguang clenched his fists, blue veins popping out. It took him a while to calm down. "Go ahead."

Mengqi suddenly shouted, "Where did Cui Xu keep Duan Mingcheng?"

You Tongguang took a step back and looked at Mengqi in horror. "You, where did you hear the rumor?"

"I'm very sure. I just want to ask you where Duan Mingcheng is kept." Mengqi said calmly.

"Ridiculous. How is it possible?" You Tongguang sneered.

Mengqi laughed hoarsely. "Mr. You, do you know why I'm sure you are the descendant of the Snow God's Palace protectors and have the treasure map?"

"Didn't you get the news from the remnants of the Snow God's Palace?" You Tongguang called the people of the Snow God's Palace unceremoniously.

Mengqi smiled. "No, it was Fei Zhengqing who told me. I wanted to investigate Duan Mingcheng's whereabouts, but he deliberately led my attention to the Snow God's Palace. He specifically mentioned that you might be a remnant of the Snow God's Palace and had corresponded with the people of the Snow God's Palace."

"Corresponded with the people of the Snow God's Palace?" You Tongguang immediately believed Mengqi when he heard the corresponded with the people of the Snow God's Palace. He just didn't know whether the letters were destroyed or not, and whether Fei Zhengqing got them. You Tongguang immediately believed Meng Qi when he heard the exchange of letters. The people from the Snow God Palace who had written to him had already been killed by him that night. He just didn't know whether the letters had been destroyed or not, and whether Fei Zhengqing had gotten them.

"Fifth Brother attacked you?" You Tongguang immediately believed Mengqi, because he had already killed the people of the Snow God's Palace who had corresponded with him that night. He just didn't know whether the letters were destroyed or not, and whether Fei Zhengqing got them.

"Fifth Brother attacked you?" You Tongguang looked at Mengqi as if he was looking at a monster. He didn't believe that Mengqi could survive Cui Xu's attack.

Mengqi laughed. "I have a life-saving item, so Castellan Cui retreated. Old Mr. You, can you answer me now?"

You Tongguang's expression changed a few times. He sighed and said, "To be honest, Fifth Brother never told me about this. Maybe he was worried about my background in the Snow God's Palace. But I've been running the Snow God's Palace for many years and I'm willing to spend money, so I still got the news. Duan Mingcheng is now locked in the lowest level of the dungeon of the Castellan Mansion."

"I thought there was only a corpse left. Castellan Cui is so softhearted." Mengqi stared at You Tongguang's face, not letting go of the slightest change of expression.

"He was worried that the treasure map Duan Mingcheng repeated was fake, so he didn't kill him for the time being. When nephew Jinhua comes back from the preliminary exploration of the treasure, Duan Mingcheng will be killed." Since he had started, You Tongguang didn't hide it anymore.

Mengqi said, "No wonder after Zhang Zongxian and his wife gave the treasure map to Miss Cui, Young Castellan Master has been away."

"Only his son can make him feel at ease." You Tongguang showed a bitter smile.

"So, Castellan Cui and Head Constable Fei left through the tunnel in the middle of the night to kill Monk Zhen Ding?" Mengqi said his judgment.

"I don't know. I was excluded." You Tongguang shook his head.

Mengqi didn't say anything more. He asked directly, "Tell me the location of the dungeon and the defense arrangement."

You Tongguang told him in detail. At the end, he said, "Ennea Monkey, can you tell me where Hongbo is now?"

"I have one last request," Meng Qi said with a smile.

You Tongguang took a deep breath and said, "Say it."

"Steal the white jade Buddha statue tonight. I believe you can do it." Mengqi looked at You Tongguang's eyes and said.

"The white jade Buddha statue is precious, but it's not priceless …" You Tongguang was puzzled.

Mengqi smiled and said, "I don't want to say that I can't do it."

I'm such a prideful person!

"Okay." You Tongguang nodded.

Mengqi nodded and said, "Tonight, I will send Third Master You to the garden of the Dong Mansion. After you steal the white jade Buddha statue, go there to pick him up. Just throw the statue into the well."

You Tongguang took a deep look at Meng Qi and turned away without saying anything.

Meng Qi stood there and watched his back disappear. Suddenly, he chuckled and said to himself, "Your acting skills are really good. The effect of only telling part of the truth is very interesting."

…

The next day, when the news of Ennea Monkey stealing the Buddha statue from the protection of many masters was spreading, Mengqi received an invitation from Cui Jinxiu. As a master who could defeat Mu Shan, Mu Hengtian, and Ennea Monkey, and had met Cui Jinxiu once, Master Zhen Ding was naturally invited to watch the fight.

"Today is the day." Mengqi smiled and put on his white frock. Then he went out.

"Master Zhen Ding …" Ning Daogu and others had been waiting in the yard for a long time. They looked very excited.

But they were stunned when they just finished saluting. Master Zhen Ding, in his white frock, had red lips and white teeth, which made him look free and unworldly.

A few days ago, Master Zhen Ding was just a little monk with good Kung Fu. Today, he really looked like an eminent monk.

Mengqi was very satisfied with this situation. He turned his Buddha beads and said with a smile, "Amitabha. Four donors, please follow me to the Castellan Mansion."
