heaven money

Meng Qi now understood that in order to pick up the crystal normally, he had to wrap it with this black cloth to isolate it from the flesh and blood.

The black cloth was unfolded, and four large characters in a flamboyant style appeared on it:
"I see."

So that's it... Seeing these four words, Meng Qi was struck by lightning. He was stunned on the spot, with countless thoughts swirling in his mind. He couldn't calm down. The scenes he felt when he comprehended "Falling into the Red Dust" emerged one by one:

A monk, whose face could not be seen clearly, but whose expression was full of misery.

His body shrank and turned into a child, who was well-behaved and lovable, and loved by his parents. When he grew up, he was filial and respectful, and his parents also put him first in everything. When the happy funeral came, he looked at his parents' coffins and sighed:
"I see."

……

He was born into a royal family, and was the most favored person in the world. When he grew up, he held power, had the power to rule the country, and could decide life and death with a single word. He could kill thousands of people when he was angry, and he could be promoted when he was happy. Ten years later, he left the palace with his hands behind his back, leaving only one sentence:
"I see."

……

The Demon Lord was a genius, and he reached the realm of Grandmaster before he was thirty. He single-handedly unified the Demon Sect, which had been divided for many generations, and became the most glorious sect leader after the founder of the Demon Sect. Afterwards, he mastered the nine volumes of "The Holy Scripture" and was only half a step away from breaking the void. He then fought for supremacy in the world and fought against grandmasters. Those who could survive three rounds under his command were considered world-famous masters.

The current old emperor, who was the crown prince at that time, was being oppressed by the eighth prince whom he supported and was on the verge of losing his throne.

At the height of his prosperity, when the great era of the Demon Sect was about to come, he suddenly had a great enlightenment, drifted away, became a monk, and left behind only four words on the strange paper he left behind:
"I see."

Meng Qi's scalp tingled. Could he be Ananda? How could he still be alive?

The Demon Saint was a powerful being during the era when demons wreaked havoc on the earth, and a great figure who dominated the world at the end of the mythology period. It was not until the Human Emperor was born, forged the Human Emperor Sword on the Dragon Platform, and dominated the universe that the era came to an end and the Medieval Age began. Ananda was a figure from the same era as her, and it was at least 100,000 years ago. How could he still be alive?

Could it be that he fell into the cycle of reincarnation, drowned in the sea of ​​suffering, experienced reincarnation after generation, realized the Buddhist principles, but forgot himself?

Everything is empty and dark, the sea of ​​suffering is like a dream, and the world is illusory, so it’s better to forget them... Meng Qi didn’t know how, but he suddenly had a better understanding of Ananda’s sword technique to break the precepts.

Seeing Meng Qi in a daze, Shang Yi stopped Ruan Yushu who wanted to wake Meng Qi up and waited for Meng Qi to wake up.

Shang Yi knew that Meng Qi suddenly saw the past life of the Demon Lord. If his strength was not enough, or if the Demon Buddha deliberately concealed it, Meng Qi should be able to see that the Demon Lord had a face very similar to his!
When Meng Qi woke up, Shang Yi and Ruan Yushu didn't ask any more questions.

Although Ruan Yushu was curious, seeing Shang Yi's secretive look, he knew that this might involve Meng Qi's secret, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After leaving the imperial city, there was no more rainstorm and lightning. The three of them hurried all the way and soon arrived at the gate of the Fourth Prince in Wanghoufang.

"I have something important to discuss with the Fourth Prince, which concerns the sudden changes in the Imperial City."

Meng Qi said directly to the doorman.

The doorman had already been notified at this time. When he saw that it was Meng Qi and the other two who had arrived, he hurriedly welcomed them into the mansion.

When I walked into the lobby, I saw Lin Xiao and the Fourth Prince in the lobby.

"So it's you three young heroes. Mr. Lin has already told me what happened in the imperial city. If it weren't for your help, I would still not know what happened."

The Fourth Prince had a calm expression and had long since gotten over the emotional impact of his father's death.

At times like this, getting information a quarter of an hour in advance will allow you to react faster than others and do more things!
Therefore, the Fourth Prince now attaches great importance to Lin Xiao, Meng Qi and his party!
Moreover, the Left Prime Minister, the person who drugged the witness, and the assassin who silenced the witnesses are all in his hands now. The Fourth Prince will not doubt the truth of the matter.

This matter is also related to Lin Xiao. If he did not bring Batu and Changsun Jing to see Lu Guan directly, the young master of the Jiang clan would fall into the hands of a certain prince, and the grand masters would be trapped, and the Demon Lord Crystal in the old emperor's hand would be sent out as bait.

On the morning of the second day, he had nothing to absorb and did not have to die suddenly. Things would have gone completely differently. Everything was under his control. All Meng Qi needed to do was to find a way to disrupt the peace talks, which was much more difficult.

"You have courage, hey..." The Sword Emperor sneered. He understood everything about the Demon Lord's relics. If the old emperor had not died, he would probably have made another attack with the sword.

Then the Fourth Prince said in a deep voice:

"Brother is so cruel that he killed his father and the king!"

The guards and swordsmen beside him were waiting for these words. They drew their swords and pointed them at the sky. The clanging sounds were endless:
"The prince killed the emperor, and the emperor was murdered. Please, Your Majesty, turn the tide, support the collapsing building, save the people from danger, and punish the evil forces!"

"Please, Your Majesty, turn the tide, support the collapsing building, save the people from danger, and punish the evil forces!"

They shouted in unison with an intimidating force, demanding that the Fourth Prince take a stand and lead them to fight for the throne.

The fourth prince pressed his right hand down and shouted:
"As a son and a subject, I have no choice but to punish the traitors!"

"We are willing to die for the prince!" the guards and swordsmen shouted loudly.

Everything went smoothly afterwards. Without the help of the Evil King, the Seventh Prince was left with a Ghost King who had become disloyal because of the Evil King's death. This would inevitably make the Seventh Prince panic.

The Ghost King only knows how to fight for power, but doesn't understand what it means to cause chaos in the world. After reshuffling the cards, he let the Demon Sect come to the fore, and only knows how to fight with the Demon Queen for the ruling power of the Demon Sect.

As for the remaining crown prince, he had lost his righteousness, and the third prince had also lost the Demon Queen. Without the restraint of the grandmaster, the right prime minister and the monk Ruyi could not change the situation.

Therefore, the Fourth Prince immediately sent someone to invite General Lu, and through him to win over the General of the Western Expedition and take control of the troops in the capital; he also waited for an opportunity to get rid of several brothers and remove the obstacles to his ascension to the throne.

If there is chaos in the capital, it is possible that several princes will die.

These were naturally handed over to Meng Qi and Ge Huai'en. As for Cao Zhan, he had already been plotted against by the third prince and his whereabouts were unknown.

Shang Yi was in charge behind the scenes, Ruan Yushu followed Meng Qi, but Lin Xiao did not take any action, but waited for things to be over.

After all, he still had to stay in this reincarnation world, and he was also planning to establish a transcendent academy. Naturally, he could not participate in the action of killing the prince and make the Fourth Prince wary for no reason.

······
Soon, the crown prince, the third prince, and the seventh prince died, and Meng Qi, Ruan Yushu and Shang Yi returned to the fourth prince's mansion again.

At this time, the Fourth Prince had returned and was pacing with his hands behind his back, looking very satisfied. It was obvious that things were going well.

Looking at Meng Qi and the other two as well as Lin Xiao standing beside him, he smiled and nodded:

"I have received the news that my eldest brother, third brother and seventh brother have all been executed. You have done a great job. Such a great achievement must be rewarded. What title, official position, or fiefdom do you want?"

"We are free-spirited people who do not like fame and fortune, and cannot stand worldly affairs. If Your Majesty wants to reward us, please keep your promise and give us all the swords in the study." Meng Qi looked at the Fourth Prince with clear eyes, not fooled by wealth and glory.

Why didn't you mention the reward for the secret book? This guy doesn't seem to have the hobby of collecting secret books. By the time he finds someone to collect them, it will be dawn!
The Fourth Prince was stunned. He didn’t expect that they could resist wealth and glory. There really are people in the world who value righteousness over money!
He sighed and said, "You can choose for yourselves. Except for the Tengxiang Sword and Tiemu Sword given by my master, the rest are yours."

Then the Fourth Prince looked at Lin Xiao again and said:

"I wonder what Mr. Lin wants!?"

Lin Xiao cupped his hands and said:
"Although I am a scholar, I have no intention of pursuing a career in politics. All I want is to build an academy so that those poor people who have nowhere to go to school can study!" The Fourth Prince raised his eyebrows. He thought that Lin Xiao was a scholar and that he wanted to get an official position or a fiefdom by following him. He didn't expect that he wanted to build an academy, an academy that would recruit students regardless of their social status!

However, the Fourth Prince soon came up with an idea and said:
"Mr. Lin has the ambition of a saint! Let's put it this way. There is a mountain outside the capital. The water of the golden pond is clear and the floating jade is covered with frost. The mountain is bright and the water is beautiful, and the trees are lush. It is named Fu Yu!

It is said that a gentleman is as gentle as jade! How about giving this Fuyu Mountain to Mr. Lin and building a college on it? "

Lin Xiao smiled slightly and said:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift. It is located on Fuyu Mountain. Let's call it Fuyu Academy. I also hope to cultivate many fine jades for our country!"

Well, I was talking about our country, not the imperial court. If the imperial court becomes incompetent in the future, don’t blame me, the disciples of Fu Yu Academy, for rectifying the world!

As for Shang Yi and the other two, they each picked up six sharp weapons and left and returned.

"After completing the second main mission, each person will be rewarded with 400 good deeds."

"Side mission one, if one newcomer survives, Zhending and Luo Shengyi will be rewarded with 200 merits each."

"return."

The fourth prince who ascended the throne waited until the eunuch reported that the three knights had disappeared after dawn and that Mr. Lin had left for Fuyu Mountain to prepare to build a school. Only then did he truly believe that they had never set their sights on glory. Later, he looked at the empty walls of the study and found that everything else was still there. He couldn't help but sighed:
"What a chivalrous demeanor!"

At the same time, the fear of Lin Xiao also quietly dissipated. After all, although Lin Xiao was strong, he only had one record of fighting the Demon Queen. He was already in the palace and was protected by his master, the Sword Emperor, and the Right Prime Minister. He was not afraid that Lin Xiao would have any bad intentions!
He even thought of letting one of his princes study in Fu Yu Academy, in order to win over Lin Xiao, a master at the grandmaster level.

As for Lin Xiao, he was standing on the top of Fuyu Mountain with a little girl at this moment, looking down at the scenery in the distance. If he looked far away, he could even see the entire capital!

"You will be at the top of the mountain, and you will be able to see all the mountains and small mountains at a glance!"

Lin Xiao looked into the distance and sighed unconsciously.

The little girl looked young, but she had a mature demeanor and said:
"I didn't expect you had some talent for poetry!"

Lin Xiao shook his head and said:
"Alas, this poem was not written by me, I just heard it!

Although I am confident that I have made some achievements in studying, I am not omnipotent after all, and I am still lacking in poetry!"

If he was an ordinary time traveler, he would naturally be a plagiarist and experience the feeling of being a great talent!
But, he is almost at the peak of his powers, and he will always have to face opponents of the same level in the future. At that time, the fight will not only be a clash of head-on forces, but also a clash on the timeline, between the past and the future.

By then, wouldn't everyone be able to see their own dark history of misusing other people's poems from the past timeline? ?
It would be better to admit frankly that you are not good at writing poetry. After all, even the best things are imperfect, so how can anyone be perfect?

"Demon Queen, I never thought that after practicing for twenty-three years, you would be able to rejuvenate and become a young girl. In order to cut off from the past, you may need to change your name!"

Lin Xiao said while looking at the little girl beside him.

It turns out that the little girl is the Demon Queen after practicing cicada for twenty-three years. Even if the Demon Queen appears in the capital again at this time, it is almost impossible for anyone to recognize her.

Even those who raised the Demon Queen or grew up with her could not see any trace of her in the little girl.

The little girl crossed her chest with her left hand and put her right hand on her chin in deep thought for a while. The image of the Shocking God Sword Xiao Meng flashed through her mind again, and then she spoke:

"Since your Fuyu Mountain is named after jade, I will call myself Mengyu!"

Lin Xiao looked at the Demon Queen (Meng Yu) with a half-smile and said:
"You don't think that the 'Shocking God Sword' Xiao Meng is the reincarnation of your father, the Demon Lord!?"

Meng Yu suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Xiao, and said with shock in his eyes:
"how do you know!?"

Lin Xiao said:
"You're overthinking it. As soon as the sun rose today, the 'Shocking God Sword' and his friends suddenly disappeared. I guess they might be from the legendary fairyland after the void was shattered!

And back then, the Demon Lord should have reached the realm of breaking through the void and ascending to the fairyland. He suddenly became a different person. I think there must be some secret, and it may take reaching that realm to reach it!
Practice well! Perhaps after breaking the void we can solve this mystery!"

Lin Xiao did not tell the Demon Queen the truth. After all, their realms were still low, and there was no question of him and me!
…………

Beams of light descended, healing everyone, and Meng Qi's Golden Bell Cover quickly recovered.

He counted the number of light beams and found that everyone was fine, and he felt relieved.

At this moment, the cold and majestic voice of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation sounded again:

"Escape from youth and deepen reincarnation. The next mission is a death mission, which will start in one year. Please be prepared."

"Death mission?" Meng Qi, who had originally relaxed, immediately became nervous again. Being able to let the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation reveal the time of the next reincarnation, this mission was not easy. Everyone had to face the danger of death.

Shang Yi, who was originally very relaxed, also narrowed his eyes. The death mission should be the mission at the foot of Lingshan Mountain in the Journey to the West world. He just didn't know whether the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation would arrange any mission to deal with him at the foot of Lingshan Mountain.

The Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation did not describe it further, but said without any emotion:

"Task evaluation: Ge Huai'en and Shang Yi are rated 'average', with no additional rewards; Zhang Yuanshan, Fu Zhenzhen, and Ruan Yushu are rated 'medium', with each being awarded 50 merits; Jiang Zhiwei, Qi Zhengyan, and Zhen Ding are rated 'good', with each being awarded 100 merits and a chance to draw lots. The range of the draw is everything below the exterior scene."

Shang Yi rolled his eyes. This was clearly targeting him. It must be targeting him. It was not that he was not putting in any effort, but it was simply not challenging at all.

Besides, Shang Yi’s speculation was also useful in the mission world, but the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation obviously did not take this into account.

Meng Qi frowned slightly. It was just good, not excellent. His hope of obtaining the Reincarnation Talisman was dashed. But when he thought about it, he basically did not exceed the scope of the main and side quests issued by the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, nor did he do any additional exploration.

The beam of light disappeared, and everyone looked at each other, still immersed in the shock brought by the death mission.

"Brother Huaikong, you have joined Xianji before and learned about the reincarnation world. Do you know what this death mission is?"

Jiang Zhiwei asked, and immediately pulled everyone who were still a little confused back to look at Shang Yi.

Shang Yi patted Ruan Yushu on the shoulder, signaling her to rest assured, and then said:

"I have also heard about many death missions in Xianji. Some involve being hunted down, some involve being thrown into a desperate situation, and some involve fighting against several Half-Step Exterior Forces. It is said that after a team survives a death mission and retains half of its strength, the difficulty and rewards of the reincarnation world will increase, and it may even be possible to come into contact with some ancient ruins."

Meng Qi said with a smile: "It sounds difficult. This time I have to use up every good deed."

He glanced at Zhang Yuanshan and Fu Zhenzhen, and saw that they were very close to each other with no barrier between their expressions, and he immediately felt relieved.

When he looked at her like that, Fu Zhenzhen immediately blushed and lowered her head. Her hair was intact, and it was obvious that she had just repaired it with good deeds. Zhang Yuanshan nodded gratefully. (End of this chapter)
