Translator: 549690339

“After sreflection, I finally understand the difference betweenand Xu Qi ‘an,” yang qianhuan said slowly. “What’s the Difference?”

Zhong Li was like a qualified sidekick.

Yang qianhuan didn’t answer. Instead, she asked, “”Junior martial sister Zhong,

Do you remember when Xu Qi ‘an was loved by the people?”

Zhong Li tilted her head, her hair drooped down, revealing a pair of bright eyes, and said in a soft voice, “”Solved major cases during the capital investigation?”

At that time, Zhong Li was ” suppressed ” at the bottom of the building as a poor girl, so she didn’t know Xu Qi ‘an yet. It was only later that she slowly understood Xu Qi’ an’s past.

no, although he was in the limelight during the capital investigation, his reputation was only spread in the officialdom. The common people have heard a little about him, but they don’t love him.

Yang qianhuan’s voice was low as she continued, ”

“What really made the people of the capital remember him was the battle of Dharma in Buddhism and his trip to Yunzhou. Later, he killed the state Duke in the market and his reputation reached its peak. However, this was fine. The subsequent legend of jadesun pass and the heroic act of killing the Emperor were fine as well. Actually, it’s all the same.”

After a pause, he said in a tone as if he had uncovered the truth behind the fog,

“Because he kept establishing the image of” serving the country and the people, “the people naturally loved him. Killing yuan jing was the sas killing an incapable ruler. If I kill Yongxing, I’ll be a traitor.”

Zhong Li was touched when she heard that. Senior brother yang finally understood.

“Thus, I’m going to start working on the welfare of the citizens and make them feel grateful to me,” yang qianhuan continued.

“Then what does senior brother yang plan to do?” Zhong Li said softly.

“I plan to open a few shops in the capital and help the people of the capital for free. Over time, I will surpass Xu Qi ‘an and beca hero in the eyes of the people of the capital.” Yang qianhuan’s words were powerful and resonating.

“Senior brother yang is really amazing, coming up with such a good idea.” Zhong Li was happy for him.

Yang qianhuan walked away with a satisfied expression after receiving the approval and praise of Junior Sister Zhong.

The cold wind whistled, and the grass rose and fell.

In the distance, there were thick dark clouds in the sky, rolling in with the strong wind. The group walked on the barren mountain path, mu nanzhi wrapped herself tightly in her Fox-fur coat on the back of the horse.

She frowned and turned to Xu Qi ‘an. “I’m a little cold.”

This year’s winter was exceptionally cold. Winter had just arrived, and the roof was already covered in frost.

Xu Qi ‘an nodded. He placed his palm on the little mare’s abdomen and transferred his Qi into it. He could now refine essence into Qi and produce a lot of Qi Ji, which was equivalent to the eighth level Qi cultivating stage.

The young mare felt the heat from her master and neighed happily. She turned her head and rubbed against Xu Qi ‘an’s face.

“The one surnamed Xu! ”

Mu Nanxi gritted his teeth in anger. Was she worse than a horse?

“For you, being frozen is also a good experience. It’s too boring to travel the martial world. ”

Although she said that, Xu Qi ‘an still held her little hand and transferred her

Li lingsu saw the interaction between the two, and thought to herself, “Madam is not pretty enough, which is why this old man Xu Qian is so disdainful of her.”

Thinking of his group of female confidants, all of whom were outstanding beauties, the Saint inevitably felt a sense of superiority. At the stime, he wondered whether Xu Qian was not fond of beauty or not good at dealing with women.

Otherwise, with his status and cultivation, what kind of beauty could he not get?

“However, although Madam Xu’s looks are ordinary, she’s extremely pleasing to the eye. The more I interact with her, the more I feel that she’s different from ordinary women. That’s probably the reason why Xu Qian married her …” Li lingsu thought to herself.

After a few rounds of Qi circulation, mu nanzhi felt warm all over and even felt lazy and sleepy. She forced herself to perk up and put the little fox on the horse’s back. Then, she took out the ‘geographical records of Dafeng’ from her luggage and flipped through it a few times. Her expression changed slightly.

She quietly swallowed her saliva and said in a low voice, “”The book said that

Xiang Zhou has two main characteristics:Water ghost and corpse driving.”

The place they were at was Xiang Prefecture, which was under the jurisdiction of Zhang Prefecture.

When the little white fox heard this, she shrank her head in fear and stuttered like mu nanzhi,

“W-what? There are so many water ghosts …”

“You’re a demon. Are you afraid of water ghosts?” Xu Qi ‘an said angrily.

The little white fox was stunned for a moment before she whispered, “‘Il-I’m scared of ghosts.”

“There are many water systems in Xiang Prefecture,” li lingsu said. “The river network is scattered all over the place, crisscrossing. Countless people drown every year, so it’s normal for there to be a lot of water ghosts. As for corpse driving, it’s a long story.”

Seeing the two humans and one fox looking over, Li Ling explained,

“Legend has it that about 180 years ago, a strange man suddenly appeared in Xiangxi. His corpse-controlling skills were at the peak, and with 13 iron corpses, he was unrivaled in Xiang Zhou. He established his sect in Xiang Zhou.

“Up until now, many of the Jianghu forces in Xiang Zhou have smethods of controlling corpses. Among them, the most powerful was the chai family. Chai family’s main business was corpse herding, sending the dead back to their homes.

as long as the chai family takes over a corpse, it will not rot and stink.

Xu Qi ‘an held the little mare’s hand and asked, “”ls this the witchcraft cult’s method of controlling corpses or the corpse worm division’s method?” Li lingsu laughed.

“The corpse worm division’s methods. That legendary man was born in Xiang Prefecture. When he was young, his entire family was killed by his enemies. For sreason, he didn’t die and was sold to the southern border as a slave by his enemies. He learned an extraordinary skill of controlling corpses from the Gu clan.

“After he felt that his cultivation had reached a high level, he escaped from the southern border and returned to Xiang Zhou to take revenge. He even established a sect. This person is called Chai Siming, the ancestor of the chai family. However, his corpse controlling technique had a flaw, and he could only cultivate it to the fifth stage realm.

“Later on, the chai family developed martial arts, and the clansmen usually dual cultivated martial and armor. The current head of the chai family is only of the fifth rank, but there have been several fourth-rank family heads in the history of the chai family.”

“You’ve traveled to Xiang Zhou before?” Xu Qi ‘an asked in surprise.

“No, I didn’t,”

“Then how do you know about these things?”

“Because one of my female friends happens to be from the chai family.” Li lingsu smiled like a winner in life.

Buzzzzzz! I accidentally gave you a chance to act tough again … Xu Qi ‘an grumbled in his heart. He nodded and said in a calm tone,

“We will arrive in Xiang Zhou city tomorrow, just in tto visit the chai family.”

Li lingsu’s expression changed slightly, and she secretly held her waist.

The wind was getting stronger and the dark clouds were pressing down. Seeing that the rain was about to pour, the group sped up. After walking for half an hour, mu nanzhi, who was sitting on the horse’s back, pointed into the distance and said happily, ”

“There’s a broken temple there.”

“There’s a run-down temple,” the little white fox echoed happily.

The ruined temple was on the side of the road. When they got closer, they realized that it was a mountain god temple with a large area. It must have had its beautiful times in the past.

The temple door was rotten and half-open, as if it would fall with a push.

Xu Qi ‘an helped mu nanzhi off the horse. The three of them and one horse entered the temple and crossed the threshold. The courtyard was full of dead branches and leaves, giving off a faint rotten smell.

The statue of the mountain god in the temple had collapsed, full of cracks, and was wrapped in spider silk. Xu Qi ‘an glanced at it and estimated that the temple had been abandoned for at least ten years.

There were a few ashes in the temple, which seemed to have been left behind by the people who used to rest here after lighting a bonfire.

“Ah!”

Mu nanzhi suddenly exclaimed in a low voice and pointed to the southern corner, stammerinq, ‘”‘Coffin, coffin .

On the southern wall, there was an ebony coffin. Its color was dim, and it seemed to be quite old.

The abandoned temple, the old coffins, and the approaching dusk with dark clouds covering the sky and the howling wind made it strange.

Mu Nanxi was timid and immediately becvery afraid.

Bai Ji, who was clearly a fox demon, seemed to be affected as well. She took the initiative to climb into mu nanzhi’s arms and the two females hugged each other to keep warm.

Xu Qi ‘an glanced at the coffin, then turned to li lingsu. “Go outside and gather sfirewood. We’ll make do in the temple tonight,”

Li lingsu had only gone out for a short while before the rain started.

Xu Qi ‘an took out two robes from his storage bag and placed them on the ground so that mu nanzhi could sit. After a while, li lingsu returned with a big bundle of firewood.

It was full of weight.

Soon, a bonfire was lit in the temple to drive away the cold. Xu Qi ‘an set up a pot and cooked a pot of meat soup.

Not long after, the rich fragrance of meat wafted in the air and mu nanzhi was no longer afraid. She held the porcelain bowl and enjoyed the soup.

The little white fox also had a bowl and happily licked it.

At this moment, Xu Qi ‘an’s ears twitched as she heard hurried footsteps.

At the entrance of the temple, two figures rushed in. Two men and one woman. One of the men was wearing a Confucian robe and a Confucian crown. He was carrying a bookcase on his back and seemed to be a scholar.

The other man had a long saber at his waist and was dressed in black. From his attire, he seemed to be a martial arts practitioner.

As for the woman, she had a pretty face and was dressed in a neat short bow. Her long hair was tied up high like a man’s, but her shoulders and neck were not embellished, making her look even more slender and thin.

“It smells so good!”

The young man with a long saber at his waist entered the temple and stared at the iron pot.

The scholar cupped his hands in obeisance. brothers, the mountain path is hard to find. I’ve encountered the cold rain by chance. I wonder if you can make it convenient for me.

“Suit yourself,” li lingsu said with a smile.

The two men and the woman immediately walked to the side and sat down not far from the coffin.

The Man in Black took off his saber and looked at the old coffin in the corner. He asked, ‘

“There’s actually a coffin in the temple. Just nice, let’s chop it up and use it as firewood. ”

The young scholar’s expression changed slightly. I can’t do that. Brother Wang, this is inauspicious. The dead should be respected. Don’t disturb them.

Mu nanzhi’s hands trembled when she heard this and she shouted, ” that’s right. Why did you cut the coffin for no reason? you’re courting death.

The sky was completely dark, and the rain fell. In the abandoned temple on the barren mountain, the bonfire was swayed by the cold wind that was swept into the temple, and the figures on the wall were distorted.

The young man in Black frowned, ‘”What does it have to do with you?”

“We don’t even know if there’s a dead person in the coffin,” he muttered to his companion.

At this time, the beautiful woman said, ‘

“No matter if there’s a dead person or not, it’s not auspicious. Brother Wang, as martial artists, we are not afraid of the cold. But brother Lu, you ..

“It’s fine, it’s fine.” The scholar waved his hand.

The woman shook her head, stood up, and walked to Xu Qi ‘an and the others.

She cupped her fists and said, “”My two brothers, can you let us join in the fire?”

“Sit down!”

Under mu nanzhi’s side-eye gaze, Xu Qi ‘an maintained his cold posture and did not let himself show a warm smile.

The three of them sat down by the bonfire. Xu Qi ‘an noticed that they were staring at the pot and the broth inside.

“If you don’t mind, you can use the bowl we’ve drunk from.”

Xu Qi ‘an didn’t reveal that he had a storage spiritual artifact in front of them.

“Thank you, thank you.”

The scholar was overjoyed and repeatedly bowed.

The Man in Black, who had a bad temper, softened his face when he heard this.

The beautiful woman took a big gulp of the meat soup and wiped her lips with her sleeve, saying, am Feng Xiu, a disciple of the plum blossom sword sect.”

She looked at the man in Black and introduced, “”His nis Wang Jun, free cloud sect disciple. Our two sects have been on good terms for generations.

This is brother Lu, a friend we met in the mountains.”

The scholar took over the topic and said, ” I am Lu Wei, from Qingshan County. The new king has ascended the throne. Next year, he will be holding a grace examination. Therefore, I plan to carry the manuscript and travel to the capital city to study.

The Crown Prince had ascended the throne … Xu Qi ‘an was stunned.

For Da Feng, this was a good thing.

The only advantage of yuan jing’s cultivation was that he did not have many children. Otherwise, the fight for the throne would only make the situation even more chaotic.

“Are the two of you traveling together?” li lingsu chimed in.

Feng Xiu’s eyes stayed on his face for a moment, and she said softly, “”We’re responding to the call of the chai family’s aunt to cto Xiang Zhou to participate in the demon slaying meet..”
