Mengqi, who had quietly taken a step back, felt his heart skip a beat when he heard He Jiu's question. "Has He Jiu noticed me?"
Unlike Dark Broadsword, the Eastsea Sword Village was a different kind of swordsmanship. They had all kinds of keen intuition, similar to Jiang Zhiwei's "Those who are sincere to the sword are sincere to the heart". Even if He Jiu had only seen the image, he might have noticed something!
"What should I do?" Mengqi did not take any chances. His thoughts raced.
He had originally thought that, given the relationship between Eastsea Sword Village and the Yun family, if He Jiu believed Dark Broadsword's words and intended to find out the real cause of Old Master Yun's death, he would directly visit He Jiu, explain the reason, and openly examine it. He believed that no one in the Yun family would object. Why would He Jiu offer his condolences in advance, hide his head, and show the tail?
It was this wrong judgment that led him to agree to Madam Baihua's request.
"Is He Jiu afraid that asking for an autopsy will disappoint the Yun Family and make them turn away? Or is he afraid of alerting the enemy because he knows some secrets?"
Mengqi could not figure out He Jiu's thoughts. Now that the situation had suddenly become dangerous, he had to find a way to "save himself"!
It was too late to use the Eight Nine Mysteries at this time. He would be seen through!
"So, I don't do anything superfluous and hope that He Jiu doesn't see through my disguise. Should I escape with the Reincarnation Charm if things go south? "Or should I use the secret record of the Immortals to ask He Xiu, the Longevity Immortal Venerable, to help me cover up?
"But the former will make all my previous efforts to get close to the Method of Mistress Su go to waste, so it's my last resort. The latter is sudden and He Xiu may not be able to react in time …"
While thinking, Mengqi suddenly closed his eyes and half-covered them. His eyes were dim and dark, with floating star lines coming and going without a trace. It was mysterious and abstruse.
He restrained his breath, not letting it leak out. In his spiritual mind, the coffin, Ninth Childe Yun, the White Banner, and the candles disappeared. Only He Jiu, Huang Taichong, He Xiu, and Dark Broadsword were left.
At this moment, he noticed that Huang Taichong was looking at him with sword will in his eyes. So he extended his spiritual mind!
"Boom!"
A silent explosion seemed to explode in his mind. Mengqi could no longer "see" He Jiu, He Xiu, and Dark Broadsword. Huang Taichong's figure was reflected in his pupils. Some were tough, some were fleeting, some were bright, and some were dim.
But Mengqi's "knife in heart" seemed to be able to take them at any time!
"Sword" could draw them at any time!
Huang Taichong's eyes narrowed slightly. He was seized by a sudden impulse and an inexplicable feeling welled up in his heart. It was as if the monk in front of him was hiding an indescribable danger that made him, a powerhouse on the Terrestrial Rankings, feel prickly. It was hard to say what would happen if he continued to probe further!
The monk's strength was not to be underestimated if he could make him feel threatened … Huang Taichong did not want to be careless in the mourning hall, nor did he want to take any risks. He withdrew his gaze and looked at his nose and heart, no longer looking at Meng Qi.
"Although Huang Taichong's karma is not as strong as Mystery Fairy's and he can resist it, he will still feel a sense of danger."
"Spying on others is a taboo. Huang Taichong's reputation will be tarnished if a fight breaks out and the mourning hall is affected. As a righteous man, he will not peep too deeply."
"Spying on others is a taboo. If a fight breaks out and the mourning hall is affected, Huang Taichong's reputation will be tarnished. As a righteous man and with a sense of danger, he will not peep too deeply."
"Time, place, and people," Mengqi finally got through the dangerous situation.
"Elder Huang, can you see the reason for the strange feeling?" He Jiu asked.
Huang Taichong thought for a while and said, "Fa Zheng is unfathomable. It's hard to see."
"Unfathomable …" He Jiu looked at Fa Zheng, who was wearing a red cassock. He looked solemn and peaceful.
He Jiu thought to himself, "Fa Zheng's realm must be terrifying to be called unfathomable by Elder Huang of the Eighth Heaven. He should be on the Terrestrial Rankings!"
In this big world, there were many experts who lived overseas or lived in seclusion. Even if they were grandmasters, they were not on the Terrestrial Rankings.
At this moment, Dark Broadsword looked away and shook his head. "I don't feel familiar."
What he saw was Mengqi, an eminent monk with a subtle change in his aura.
He Jiu frowned. "Did I see Fa Zheng in the East Sea? Or did he practice a skill that I'm familiar with? "
"Elder Huang, Fifth Uncle, have you heard of Fa Zheng on Hidden Island?" He asked secretly.
He Xiu and Huang Taichong thought for a while and shook their heads. "No. Maybe he's an eminent monk from a hidden branch of Buddhism. He just came to Hidden Island not long ago."
He Jiu collected his thoughts and asked no more questions. He nodded slightly and stepped forward to offer his condolences to the Yun family's old man.
Mengqi and the others, who had already left the mourning hall, continued to mourn the Yun Family Elder.
It was only then that Meng Qi was truly relieved. He quickly stopped the Fruits of Karma heart sutra, feeling his whole body go limp and dizzy.
With his current strength, he could not hold on for too long even if he did not use his saber.
"Master Fa Zheng, please wait." He Jiu's voice suddenly came from behind.
Mengqi's pupils contracted. He almost shivered and broke out in a cold sweat. "Did He Jiu see through me?"
He Jiu stood majestically and stared at Mengqi with his deep eyes. "Amitabha. Is there anything else, donor He?"
"All eminent monks of Buddhism have many special powers. They can open the Heavenly Eye, read other people's minds, and illuminate the world. Master Fa Zheng, have you learned anything about the Yun Family Elder?" He Jiu stood majestically and stared at Mengqi with his deep eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
All the members of the Yun Family frowned. "Does the young heightslord want to use the monk to obtain the Yun Family Elder's" last will "and end the fight for the Master's position?"
Although the Yun Family was dependent on the Eastsea Sword Village, they were independent and not purely dependent. If the Eastsea Sword Village interfered in the internal affairs of the Yun Family, it could easily cause a backlash and create a rift, giving other forces an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Mengqi could not figure out He Jiu's purpose. He did not know if He Jiu was testing his identity as an eminent monk. After thinking for a while, he asked, "What do you mean, donor He?"
"I would like to ask you, Master Fa Zheng, to perform your Divine Sense to deduce the Yun Family Elder's death and see if there is anything we have overlooked." He Jiu said ambiguously. No one knew whether he was suspecting that Mengqi was a fake monk, asking about the cause of the Yun Family Elder's death, or even finding the "last will".
"Young heightslord?" Huang Taichong did not know what He Jiu was thinking.
He Jiu laughed heartily. "Although our sect also has the art of deduction, it is still not as good as the Wang Family of River East, Buddhism, and Taoism. It is rare to meet an eminent monk. How can I not ask him to deduce something?"
He evaded the question, so Huang Taichong could not figure out his real purpose.
Madam Baihua was a little nervous. Most of the heterodox demonic lineages were not good at deducing the mysteries of heaven. Merciless Tyrant was one of them. Now that He Jiu was testing her, what should she do?
Mengqi was also worried that He Jiu was testing him, so he did not dare to be negligent. He smiled at He Jiu and calmly formed a Mudra.
He secretly visualized the "I, the Unique and Righteous" Buddha in his mind and quietly simulated it. Little pieces of colored glass appeared around him, creating a solemn and peaceful place. The sound of Zen could be heard. Everyone in the mourning hall nodded. Master Fa Zheng was indeed an eminent monk.
Madam Baihua and Ying Ning widened their eyes in disbelief. "Merciless Tyrant can simulate Buddhism with demonic arts?
Or is it just a matter of thought? What kind of new path did he take on the original foundation? "
He Jiu nodded gently. His expression did not change. It was unknown if he had completely dispelled his doubts.
Mengqi put on a compassionate and merciful face. He combined the cause and effect of death he had just seen and used the "Yuxu Divine Divination"!
The mysteries of heaven were revealed and the cause and effect were traced. Mengqi wholeheartedly immersed himself in it without the slightest bit of nervousness or guilt.
Little by little, the blurry results were revealed. Meng Qi was startled and raised his head. He frowned slightly and cried out involuntarily,
"Blue blood."
He thought of the nine-fingered man who bought the Immortality Elixir of East Pole with the unformed Oceanic Dominion Pearl. His severed fingers were blue and crystalline. It seemed to be blue blood!
"What happened between him and Old Master Yun who was also there?"
"Blue blood …" He Jiu, He Xiu, and Huang Taichong blurted out.
Especially He Jiu. Since Mengqi knew him, he had been accustomed to his heroic and confident attitude. It seemed that there was nothing difficult in the world and that there was no enemy to be afraid of. He rarely frowned or showed major mood swings. But at this moment, his brows were deeply furrowed. His expression kept changing, showing shock and contemplation.
"Just the two words" blue blood "can make the people of Eastsea Sword Village lose their composure?" Mengqi looked at Ninth Childe, The Hand of One Thousand, Madam Baihua, Dark Broadsword, and the others. He found that they all looked confused and had no reaction to the blue blood.
"Only a few people know the secret of blue blood, and even only the higher-ups of Eastsea Sword Village know about it?" Mengqi thought to himself. "But Third Childe of the Ruan family is also very concerned about this man with blue blood …"
He Jiu quickly composed himself and cupped one hand in the other before his chest. "Thank you for your divination, Master. Did you find anything else?"
He did not mention the "blue blood" at all.
"No." Mengqi shook his head.
He Jiu did not dwell on the matter. He did not even pay attention to Mengqi and the others. After offering his condolences to Old Master Yun, he directly moved into the Residence of Yun. No one knew what he planned to do.
…
After returning to the courtyard of the inn on Hidden Strength Island, Madam Baihua hid her surprise and said with a smile, "I increasingly feel that you are unfathomable. Given time, you may become another Devil Buddha, or Buddha Demon."
Mengqi ignored her words and looked at The Hand of One Thousand and Ying Ning. "This identity has attracted the attention of Eastsea Sword Village. I can't disguise myself for long. I will immediately leave the city under the name of traveling and return to Zhu's Mansion with my original appearance."
"You are wise and prudent, Master," Ying Ning praised.
Mengqi quietly left the scene and changed his direction. He sneaked into the deep mountains and found a place with a gurgling stream. He washed off his disguise and changed his frock into a green robe.
Before doing this, he carefully sensed and checked his surroundings to make sure that no one was following him or spying on him.
But just as he was about to grow his hair, he suddenly heard a sneer.
"So Master Fa Zheng is Merciless Tyrant in disguise."
"Who?" Mengqi took a step back and saw the stream suddenly turn blue. The water droplets condensed and turned into a man in a blue robe. He looked young and somewhat demonic. Standing there, he seemed to have no form but a form!
"The Blue-blooded Man?"
"There was nothing wrong with the stream just now."
"Can they turn into ordinary water?"
"Why didn't Merciless Tyrant say anything? Is he afraid of being seen through?" The water rose and surrounded the surroundings.
The corner of Mengqi's mouth twitched slightly. "Seen through? Merciless Tyrant is below Master Fa Zheng. Below Merciless Tyrant is Grand Sun Cultivator. Below Grand Sun Cultivator is Killing Blade Su Meng. Below Killing Blade Su Meng is Time Traveler Mengqi. You still have a long way to go! "
His expression was calm. He curled the corner of his mouth and smiled elegantly. "Why don't you just sneak attack? Could it be that you have something to discuss with me? "
The man snorted. "I was just following you to see what else you could find out. But you just revealed your aura and you haven't even crossed the first step of the Celestial Ladder. It seems that you got some clues from somewhere else and deliberately led me here. In this case, I don't need to report to you and ask for help."
He paused and his expression became sarcastic and arrogant.
"With your strength, why would you need me to sneak attack you?"
