The Supreme Being

"Thank you very much for the gift. I give my thanks to Shen Hou."

As these words were read out, the atmosphere in the main hall became indescribably frozen. The expressions of the twenty masters present seemed surprised and suspicious, but also revealed an unsightly look that could not be concealed.

Surrounded by everyone, in full view of everyone, Shenhou was able to steal the white jade Buddha statue without anyone noticing. This is really shocking and unbelievable!

But no matter how hard it was to believe, the facts were already in front of them, especially if they didn't believe it. Suddenly, some people's faces turned red, some turned livid, some hands were shaking, and some were gnashing their teeth.

"How could this happen?" Someone finally roared.

"There must be a ghost inside!" The old man wearing a fortune robe looked at the others.

Unless Shenhou has become a Buddha and a saint, this is the only possibility!

Seeing that everyone was about to argue, You Tongguang sighed: "Everyone is You's friend. Don't let this matter hurt your friendship. The white jade Buddha statue is nothing more than an external possession."

"Lao You, this matter concerns me, old man. Don't say anything more. Although the white jade Buddha statue is not big, it is still easy to be found if it is hidden on the body. I will let everyone search you first!" The old man in the blessing robe patted him magnanimously. Chest.

To prove their innocence, everyone agreed, but after an inspection, no one, including You Tongguang, had a white jade Buddha statue.

The scene fell into awkward silence again.

…………

When the loud bangs broke out in various hidden places near You Mansion, everyone became excited and looked around, looking for figures "running" in the dark night.

The "boiling" situation made Meng Qi couldn't help but curse. It was like waiting for the superstar to appear.

After a while, the chaos in You Mansion gradually calmed down, and the night became darker and darker.

"Shen Hou retreated when he saw the difficulty?" Nie Yao's round face could not hide the disappointment. She thought that there would be a grand occasion for Shen Hou to fight against twenty masters. In that case, she would be able to finish the damage from the side.

"Of course, twenty senior masters surrounded the white jade Buddha statue in the center. Even if the master takes action, it is not so easy to succeed, let alone Shen Hou? Hehe, he must shrink, and his reputation will be ruined in the future." Ji Xin was disappointed and happy. said.

Ning Daogu and Le Shishi had the same expression as them, and obviously had similar thoughts. However, thinking that there was a great master beside them, they all turned their heads and asked sincerely: "Master Zhending, what do you think?"

"What do I think?" Meng Qi chuckled, "Shen Hou is probably somewhat sure, otherwise there is no need to provoke You Donor."

"Maybe Shen Hou's purpose is other, and the Buddha statue thing is just a cover. Anyway, the Twelve Phase God has always been known for being ruthless, insidious and cunning, and his reputation has no impact on him." Ning Daogu said thoughtfully.

"Yes, as long as the true goal is achieved, no one in the world will laugh at Shen Hou, they will only become more and more afraid of him." Le Shishi and Nie Yao nodded at the same time.

Before he finished speaking, a slight noise suddenly occurred in front of him. It did not subside quickly. Instead, it became more and more noisy and chaotic, and gradually spread.

"Shenhou stole the Buddha statue!"

"Shenhou took away the Buddha statue silently!"

A series of irrepressible sounds of surprise reached the ears of Ning Daogu, Le Shishi and others, leaving them stunned and unable to recover.

"How is that possible? Twenty masters surrounded the white jade Buddha statue, so even mosquitoes can't fly in!"

"Could it be that he defeated twenty masters directly?"

"If this is okay, the most I can say is that Shen Hou is probably a master. Didn't I say it silently? This is really unimaginable, it is really close to a ghost!"

Soon, they woke up and started discussing in shock, confusion and excitement. They felt that waiting in the middle of the night was not worth it. Shen Hou was really secretive and scary!

Meng Qi listened to the exclamations around him, with a faint smile on his face.

…………

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

"This is a treasure map, where is my son?" You Tongguang no longer had the friendly smile to make money, and his face was so serious that water could drip from his face.

"Of course it's in a safe place. Once I confirm that the treasure map is correct, I will tell you the location and you can pick it up yourself." Meng Qi was still wearing a playful monkey-head mask.

He was looking around for news today, 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 Phase Gods was just his own hallucination. There was no information that the Sword God in White was injured or dead, nor that the Phase God failed. Rumors of death.

"Convey people with one hand and pictures with the other." You Tongguang's eyes were cold and cold.

Meng Qi said leisurely: "There are four copies of the treasure map. I don't know when we can get it together. I just try it casually and am not too keen on it. Mr. You, although you have three sons, only the youngest one is ready. I don't need to hide it." Baotu, can you not let You Hongbo go?"

"You!" You Tongguang said angrily.

Meng Qi's voice was hoarse and he laughed twice: "So, you can only listen to me."

"If Hong Bo has any shortcomings, I will tear you into pieces even if I lose all my wealth." You Tongguang gritted his teeth and threw the treasure map to Meng Qi.

Meng Qi took a look at it and found that the treasure map was not very old. It should have been copied from scratch. He immediately had an idea in his heart. After scanning it briefly, he said, "You have already dedicated the original to Cui Xu?"

"Yes, this is the manuscript I left behind." You Tongguang didn't hide anything.

"I believe you, Mr. You, for now. If the treasure map is false, we can't do anything to you, nor can we do anything to your family? Unless you can prevent them from going out from now on, they will be able to escape the first year of junior high school, but not the fifteenth. "Meng Qi said the villain's lines as he pleased.

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

"Don't worry, I still have a few questions to ask." Meng Qi chuckled.

"Didn't we agree that we only want the treasure map?" You Tongguang was extremely angry.

Meng Qi chuckled and tried to keep his eyes cold: "I said, you can only listen to me."

You Tongguang clenched his fists and his veins popped out. It took him a while to calm down: "You can ask."

Meng Qi suddenly shouted: "Where is Cui Xu imprisoning Duan Mingcheng?"

You Tongguang took a step back and looked at Meng Qi with frightened eyes: "You, where did you hear the rumors?"

"I'm very sure. I just want to ask you where Duan Mingcheng is being held." Meng Qi said calmly.

"Absurd, how is it possible!" You Tongguang sneered.

Meng Qi laughed hoarsely: "Mr. You, do you know why I am sure that you are a descendant of the protector of the Snow God Palace and have a treasure map to inherit?"

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

Meng Qi smiled and said, "No, it was Fei Zhengqing who told me. I originally wanted to investigate Duan Mingcheng's whereabouts, but he deliberately directed my attention towards the Snow God Palace, specifically naming Mr. You, you may be Xue Shen Palace." The remnants of the Shrine have correspondence with the people of the Snow Shrine.”

"Letters exchanged? Good on you, Fei Zhengqing!" Hearing the exchange of letters, You Tongguang immediately believed Meng Qi, because the people from Snow God Palace who had exchanged letters with him had been killed by him that night, but he didn't know Whether the letter was destroyed or not, whether it was obtained by Fei Zhengqing.

Meng Qi said calmly: "I shouldn't, I shouldn't. City Lord Cui attacked me that night and let me know the true whereabouts of Duan Mingcheng, so I asked you where he is being held."

"Fifth brother took action against you?" You Tongguang looked at Meng Qi like a monster, not believing that he could survive after Cui Xu took action.

Meng Qi chuckled and said: "I have something to protect my life. City Lord Cui retreated when he saw the difficulty. Mr. You, can you answer me?"

You Tongguang's expression changed a few times, and he sighed and said: "To be honest, fifth brother has never told me about this matter. Maybe he is worried about my background in Snow God Palace, but I have been in business for many years and am willing to spend money. We got the news that Duan Mingcheng is currently locked up at the bottom of the dungeon of the City Lord’s Mansion.”

"I thought there were only corpses left, but City Master Cui was merciful." Meng Qi's eyes were fixed on You Tongguang's face, not missing any change in his expression.

"He was worried that the treasure map Duan Mingcheng retold was false, so he held off on killing him for the time being. When Jinhua's nephew returned from preliminary exploration of the treasure location, Duan Mingcheng was silenced." Now that he had started, You Tongguang did not cover up any more.

Meng Qi snorted: "No wonder the Young City Master has been away since Zhang Zongxian and his wife presented the treasure map to Miss Cui."

"Only his son can reassure him about this kind of thing." You Tongguang showed a wry smile.

"So, when City Lord Cui and Mr. Fei left the tunnel in the middle of the night, they wanted to kill Monk Zhending to silence him?" Meng Qi expressed his judgment.

"I don't know about that. I'm basically excluded." You Tongguang shook his head.

Meng Qi said nothing more and asked directly: "Tell me the location of the dungeon, the defense layout, etc."

You Tongguang spoke in detail and finally said: "Shenhou, can you tell me where Hongbo is now?"

"I have one more request, the last one." Meng Qi chuckled.

You Tongguang took a deep breath and said, "Just tell me."

"I believe you have a way to 'steal' the white jade Buddha statue tonight." Meng Qi looked into You Tongguang's eyes and said.

"That white jade Buddha statue is valuable, but it is not priceless..." You Tongguang was very puzzled.

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

I am such a face-saving person!

"Okay." You Tongguang nodded.

Meng Qi nodded and said: "Tonight, I will send Mr. You to the Dong Mansion Garden. 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, turned around and left without saying anything.

Meng Qi stood there, watching his back disappear. He suddenly chuckled twice and said to himself: "The acting is really good. The effect of telling only part of the truth is very interesting."

…………

The next day, when Shen Hou miraculously stole the Buddha statue from the protection of many masters, Meng Qi received an invitation from Cui Jinxiu - as a master who can defeat Mu Shan, Mu Hengtian, and Shen Hou , also had a relationship with Cui Jinxiu, so Master Zhending was naturally invited to watch the battle.

"It depends on today." Meng Qi smiled, took out the white monk's robe, put it on, and went out.

"Master Zhending..." Ning Daogu and others had been waiting in the yard for a long time, looking extremely excited.

But they had just finished their salutes when they were suddenly stunned because Master Zhending, whose white monk's robe was fluttering, had red lips and white teeth, with a somewhat free and easy appearance.

A few days ago, Master Ding was just a young monk with strong martial arts skills. Today, he really has some color of a senior monk.

Meng Qi was very satisfied with this situation. He turned the beads and said with a smile: "Amitabha, the four donors should follow the poor monk to the City Lord's Mansion."
