Dafeng Night Watchman

"After the death of the King of Huai, I took the Soul Pill in the chaos, brought it back to the capital, and gave it to His Majesty..." Que Yongxiu's soul answered honestly.

No wonder Yang Yan said that when the blood was sacrificed to the people, the blood essence floated up and turned into blood pills, and the souls went underground, but there was no trace afterwards. It turned out that Que Yongxiu took advantage of the chaos to steal it....

Xu Qian'an suddenly realized that he thought the Soul Pill was taken away by the Taoist leader of the Earth Sect, but he didn't expect it to go into the pocket of Emperor Yuan Jing.

"So, the Taoist leader of the Earth Sect participated in this matter for the so-called "evil". Well, the King of Zhenbei and the Taoist leader of the Earth Sect have a certain cooperation. I wonder if Emperor Yuan Jing will also flirt with the Taoist leader of the Earth Sect?

"This is not good. If this is the case, then I have to pay attention to my identity. When we were 1v5 that day, the Taoist leader of the Earth Sect noticed that I had the breath of the Earth Book fragment.

"He knows that the mysterious master in Chuzhou is the holder of the fragment of the Earth Book. So when I guard the Nine-Colored Golden Lotus, I will erase all traces of "Xu Qiyan".

"Xu Qiyan is in Chuzhou, and a mysterious master appears in Chuzhou, and he has the breath of the fragment of the Earth Book. This doesn't mean anything. But what if Xu Qiyan is also the holder of the fragment of the Earth Book? This is a big trick."

Thinking of this, Xu Qiyan asked again: "Is Emperor Yuan Jing secretly colluding with the Taoist leader of the Earth Sect?"

Que Yongxiu answered woodenly: "I don't know..."

"What does Emperor Yuan Jing do by refining the soul pill?"

"I don't know..."

I don't know this, I don't know that, what's the use of you? Xu Qiyan was a little angry, and after a long silence, he asked very seriously:

"Do you have any unknown industry or silver?"

Que Yongxiu confessed honestly: "No. "

Although the Duke of Huguo's Mansion is in the capital, Que Yongxiu has been running the business in Chuzhou for many years. Even if he has any private money, it is in Chuzhou.

Well, the Duke of Huguo's Mansion must be confiscated, otherwise I can't give an explanation to the officials. It's a pity that I am not a night watchman now, so I can't participate in the house-confiscation activities, otherwise I would have made a fortune... Xu Qian'an felt a pain in his heart.

"Duke Cao, do you have any unknown property?" Xu Qian'an looked at Duke Cao again.

"I have thirteen private houses in the capital, where I keep foreign affairs and children. Three of them are idle. Among the three idle houses, one is used by me to store some precious antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and silver."

The precious antiques are not stored at home, but outside. These things are not allowed to see the light... What a hateful corrupt official... Xu Qian'an was surprised and criticized at the same time.

"Where are the land deeds and house deeds of those private houses? "Xu Qian'an asked again.

"The house where I store antiques and treasures, the land deeds and house deeds are in the house, and the rest are in the Duke's Mansion. "Duke Cao replied.

Damn, twelve private houses are gone from me... Xu Qiyan's heart sank, and an indescribable sadness surged.

At the same time, he became more and more curious about the private house used to collect precious antiques. The house deed and land deed were left in the private house instead of in the Duke's Mansion, which meant that Duke Cao had completely separated the private house from himself and the Duke's Mansion.

No matter which side had problems, they would not be connected.

After the questioning, in order to retain some expectations, he did not ask what treasures were in Duke Cao's private house.

After putting the two souls back into the sachet, Xu Qiyan walked out of the secret room to visit the three companions of the Tiandihui, who were in different rooms.

Xu Qiyan first came to Li Miaozhen's room and knocked on the door.

Squeak... The door opened, revealing a stunning face, that was Xu Qiyan's paper wife.

"Pah! "

She immediately closed the door again.

After a few minutes, the door was opened again. Li Miaozhen was sitting at the table dressed neatly, and Chu Caiwei was packing ointments, gauze, medicine bottles and other items.

Were you changing the medicine just now... Xu Qian'an glanced at Li Miaozhen calmly and asked with concern: "Is everything okay?"

After Li Miaozhen nodded, he said: "Emperor Yuan Jing issued an edict of self-blame and promised not to embarrass you, so you don't have to leave Beijing too early. "

In fact, even if he doesn't forgive you, you are not afraid. The Taoist leader of Tianzong is at the same level as the Supervisor.

Even if Emperor Yuan Jing had ten guts, he would not dare to really kill you.

It's good to have a "father" to support you... Xu Qian'an sighed in his heart.

No wonder when he watched it before, those villains with backers always liked to jump up and down, arrogant and domineering. If they hadn't been unlucky enough to meet the protagonist, ordinary people would really be helpless against them.

"Anything else?" Li Miaozhen frowned and asked.

Why do you look like you want to drive me away? Have I affected the power of your three parties? Xu Qian'an complained in his heart and smiled:

"Soul Pill, I want to know what the Soul Pill is used for. "

Upon hearing this, Li Miaozhen looked at him with a puzzled expression, as if to say: Didn't Taoist Master Jinlian tell you?

Xu Qian'an lowered his voice, "I just communicated with Que Yongxiu's soul, and learned from him that it was not the Taoist leader of the Earth Sect who needed the Soul Pill, but Emperor Yuan Jing."

Li Miaozhen's pupils seemed to shrink.

Xu Qian'an continued: "Based on what Taoist Master Jinlian said, the Soul Pill does not seem to be enough to make him do such a crazy thing, but the fact is that it is true, so I guess the Soul Pill may have other, unknown uses. "

Li Miaozhen pondered for a long time and shook her head slowly.

At this time, Chu Caiwei asked curiously: "Is it the kind of Soul Pill made from souls?"

Xu Qian'an turned to look at her, and asked with a questioning look and tone: "Do you know? "

This is not like Chu Caiwei. The big-eyed cute girl does not seem to be a studious person who would read books in other fields besides medicine.

Chu Caiwei said: "Brother Song said a few days ago when he was doing research that the soul pill might allow him to fuse the body and soul he refined, but it was just a guess. After all, the soul pill is too precious and the refining conditions are harsh.

"He can't kill people to make pills. The supervisor teacher will be the first to kill him. Well, I heard from Brother Song that there are records about the soul pill in the library on the eighth floor of the Stargazing Tower."

Xu Qian'an and Li Miaozhen immediately said: "Take us there."

"This..."

Chu Caiwei showed an embarrassment: "The library is a forbidden area of ​​the Sitianjian. Only disciples can enter, and they must first obtain the consent of the supervisor teacher or Brother Yang. I can't take you in, otherwise I will be punished."

Li Miaozhen was a little discouraged.

Xu Qiyan stepped forward and patted Caiwei's shoulders: "Whatever you want to eat these days, just tell me and I'll satisfy you."

Chu Caiwei smiled: "I'll take you there right away."

Li Miaozhen was stunned: "Aren't you afraid of being punished?"

"Oh, it's all trivial."

"....."

The three people and the ghost entered the library, but Chu Caiwei couldn't remember what the book about the soul pill was called or where it was.

Rows of bookshelves filled the huge space, and trying to find relevant records from it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"I, I'll go ask Senior Brother Song..." Chu Caiwei stuck out her tongue and jumped away.

Li Miaozhen and Xu Qiyan had dark faces and searched aimlessly.

Suddenly, Xu Qiyan was attracted by an ancient book: "Nine Provinces Strange Beasts Chapter Volume 1".

The book records that the strange beasts are descendants of ancient gods and demons. How many types of ancient demons there are can be glimpsed based on the strange beasts of later generations.

The largest number and the most widespread one is "Jiao". The book mentions that the ancestor of Jiao is a god and demon called "Dragon".

For example, the strange beast that appeared in the legend of Yunzhou came from overseas. It was thundering and rainstorms in a breath. Its ancestor may be a god and demon called "Qilin".

Xu Qian'an flipped through the pages one by one and was surprised to find an "old friend", Linglong.

There is no evidence to prove what the ancestor of Linglong is. It was first recorded in history during the ancient human emperor period. It was the mount of the human emperor to conquer the world.

Riding the wind and waves, it is one of the overlords in the water.

"This is not right. The posture of that dog-licking dragon does not look like the overlord of the water at all..." Xu Qian'an complained in his heart.

With doubts, he continued to read down and saw some different information.

Huaiqing told him that the spirit dragon likes to eat purple air, so it chases the royal family and becomes the royal family's companion spirit beast. For the royal family, it is also a symbol of human orthodoxy.

But the book says that the spirit dragon has another ability, which is to swallow up the dynasty's destiny and make the dynasty's national destiny longer.

All things will decline after they reach their peak, which is the will of heaven. When the destiny of a dynasty is like a raging fire, it will inevitably decline, and the spirit dragon can swallow up the destiny. If the destiny is too strong, it will swallow it, and if the destiny is weak, it will spit it out.

Let the destiny of the dynasty always exist at a smooth level.

Destiny balancer? !

This word flashed through Xu Qian'an's mind.

This, when I just crossed over, I doubted the destiny of the dynasty in this world, which was inconsistent with the "three hundred years law" studied in my street literature.

At that time, I thought it was a factor of the existence of extraordinary power, but now it seems that it is the existence of the spirit dragon?

While thinking, Chu Caiwei came back jumping and said crisply: "The book is called "Qidanlu". It is in the second shelf of the third bookshelf in the second position. I will help you get it."

Xu Qian'an collected his thoughts and followed Chu Caiwei, watching her take out a book from the second shelf of the third bookshelf in the second position: "Qidanlu".

The result was disappointing. Taoist Jinlian had basically summarized the effects of the soul pill without missing anything.

As an old Taoist, Taoist Jinlian could not have missed the effects of the soul pill. That is to say, either the soul pill is just a cover, or one of the effects of the soul pill is crucial, but we did not find it... Xu Qian'an thought to himself.

He decided to ask Luo Yuheng for advice when he had the chance, at least to tell Luo Yuheng about this matter and let her keep an eye on Emperor Yuan Jing.

Of course, before that, he had to ask Taoist Jinlian first.

"My kind aunt is not familiar with me. Whether she can trust me or not depends on Taoist Master Jinlian..." Xu Qi'an said.

Well, I will go to Duke Cao's private residence tomorrow, and go to Yunlu Academy to pick up my second uncle and aunt the day after tomorrow. Then I will contact Taoist Master Jinlian to ask if my aunt can trust me.

Also, the wife and princess must be brought back. We can't keep her outside. Tsk, there are so many troubles...

...

Night.

The moonlight is like frost, coating the lake with a light and soft glow.

The spirit dragon lies on the shore, listless, snorting from time to time, flapping its tail from time to time, stirring up waves and jagged waves.

A figure came out of the darkness and stopped in front of the spirit dragon.

He leaned over and touched Linglong's coarse mane, sighing, "The Huaiwang massacre was finally made public. I failed to change the outcome and failed to save the royal family's reputation."

Linglong snorted lazily in response to the man.

He continued, "The royal family's loss of face means losing the people's hearts, and losing the people's hearts means that part of the luck has been dispersed. I do want to disperse the luck, but this is beyond my tolerance.

"I am trying to maintain the balance just like you, not a little more, not a little less. But those people outside are too ignorant, and Wei Yuan is even more ignorant, and he repeatedly disobeys me."

He stopped stroking and pressed his palm on Linglong's forehead, his voice gentle and indifferent: "Give back some of the luck I have stored in you."

Linglong's big eyes, as cute as black buttons, flashed with hatred and resistance, but in the end he did nothing and let him grab the luck.

....

The next day, early in the morning.

Zaza.....

As the stone door slowly opened, Xu Qi'an shouted towards the dark underground: "Senior Sister Zhong, I'm here to pick you up."

Not long after, Zhong Li, wrapped in a cloth robe and with dishevelled hair, slowly climbed the stone steps.

She raised her head, and between her messy hair, her watery eyes were beating with joy.

It has been a month and a half since Xu Qi'an went north.

"You have improved your cultivation again." Zhong Li whispered.

"But you are still the same." Xu Qi'an put his palm on her head.

Zhong Li slapped it away.

He pressed it again.

Zhong Li slapped it away again.

"Then go back." Xu Qi'an said angrily.

Zhong Li gave in and let the man who called him Senior Sister touch her head.

He brought Zhong Li and Li Miaozhen, his paper-like wife, and Chu Yuanzhen with him. The two groups stepped on flying swords, and with a swoosh, they rushed from the Bagua platform and flew towards Yunlu Academy.

"Why do you want to get involved?" Xu Qiyan sent a message to Chu Yuanzhen indignantly.

"Four people and one sword, how crowded it is, why don't I take you for a ride?"

Chu Yuanzhen explained innocently, is this man without conscience? He acted as a "driver" and took him to Yunlu Academy before his injury was healed.

He didn't want to thank him, but blamed himself.

Sensing Chu Yuanzhen's displeasure, Xu Qiyan sighed, and it was not good to show his wretched thoughts too nakedly, so he said helplessly:

"I just want to reminisce the feeling of squeezing into the subway, I miss it."

"What is brother iron?"

"You don't need to know this..."

.....

The gentlemen of Yunlu Academy have been very unhappy these two days, and even impetuous.

Because there is always a couple who don't know how to respect you, and when they catch them, they say: teach the child.

Teach your mother!!!

The gentlemen roared in the same way in their hearts.

They knew that the little girl of the Xu family, the youngest sister of Xu Ningyan and Xu Cijiu, was very good at making people angry.

Unexpectedly, she came to the academy to study again.

There are more than a dozen scholars in the academy who are well-educated, teaching military tactics, classics, etc. In theory, teaching a young child to be enlightened should be a piece of cake, right?

But some people are always gifted, and their thinking is different from that of ordinary people. The set that applies to ordinary people is not suitable for them.

Xu Lingyin is that kind of gifted child.

Riding the wind, the green mountains under his feet are like dark blue, and the official road is long. It only took two quarters of an hour for Xu Qian'an to arrive at Qingyun Mountain.

He looked down and saw a child lying in the dry grass near the pavilion of the academy, with a bun like a meat bun.

"I saw Xu Lingyin, go down."

Chu Yuanzhen followed his words, lowered his flying sword, and landed beside the pavilion.

Xu Lingyin was lying on the ground, snoring, covered with broken leaves and grass.

Xu Qian'an went up to wake her up and said angrily: "If you lie here and sleep again, I will call your mother to beat you."

"It's a big pot..."

Xu Lingyin bravely maintained a sprawling posture, ignoring the threats of her eldest brother.

"My master and I came out to hunt game, and my master disappeared while hunting. I was tired, so I took a nap." Xu Lingyin explained clearly.

Then, with a small frown, he added: "I'm not afraid of my mother beating me."

Xu Qian'an sneered: "You are not afraid of your mother beating you, but are you not afraid of your father beating you with a bamboo stick?"

Xu Lingyin widened her eyes, protected her little butt with both hands, and said in shock: "Big pot, my Tu'er seems to be starting to hurt."

"What is Tu'er?" Xu Qian'an picked her up like a chicken and walked to the top of the mountain.

"Tu'er means buttocks, a new word I learned." The little bean finally found a chance to teach his elder brother, "Do you know."

"That's buttocks."

"Tu'er."

"Buttocks!!"

"Tu." The little bean read it again, is there anything wrong?
