78 The night meeting (1)
Noble Qi building, tea room.
Xu Qi ‘an came here again. He saw the elegant and handsome eunuch with white hair on his temples. He was still wearing a sky-blue robe, and his eyes had an indescribable vicissitude.
In addition, there was also a tall man with a cold expression.
He sat by the coffee table with a straight back and an expressionless face.
Wei Yuan sat in front of the table and sipped his tea. “The mirror has recognized you as its master and is Temporarily yours to keep.
“The first person to contact you was indeed from the earth sect, and they wanted to kill you.
“Yang Jinluo has already repelled the enemy, so you won’t be in danger for the time being. For a long time to come, there will be night watchmen keeping an eye on your house.”
Xu Qi ‘an frowned. He wasn’t surprised by Wei Yuan’s actions. Yesterday, when he had asked him to reply to No. 9, he had already revealed that this eunuch wanted to “double-cross” them.
What he was dissatisfied about was that big brother didn’t handle this matter properly and even let the person escape, leaving behind such a big hidden danger.
“The earth sect’s yin spirit is invisible and hard to kill.” Wei Yuan explained as he sipped his tea.
This was a specialty and a shortcoming between systems.
Yang Yan waved his hand, and the mirror flew to Xu Qi ‘an and stopped in front of him.
Xu Qi ‘an took the mirror and put it away. He bowed and left the noble spirit building.
“Foster father, I can’t keep the yin spirit,” Yang Yan, who was sitting like a pine tree, whispered.
“Why should I?” Wei Yuan smiled warmly.
Yang Yan didn’t understand and frowned.
“If you’re not good at it, someone else is,” Wei Yuan said with a smile.
.....
Xu Qi ‘an left the Yamen, bought two bags of fried beans, and went to please his boss.
Li Yuchun was looking up some information in front of her desk and did not even look up.
“Brother spring, I bought you some fried beans.” Xu Qi ‘an shouted out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBrother spring? Li Yuchun raised her head and looked at him with a serious expression.
“Boss,” Xu Qi ‘an added.
“Yes, put it on the table.” After Li Yuchun finished speaking, he continued to bury his head in the documents.
Xu Qi ‘an looked around and said,”Boss, you’re investigating the saltpeter mine case?”
Zhu guangxiao is recuperating while song tingfeng is slacking off. Why aren’t you at home? ” Li Yuchun asked, then nodded.
“I’m currently in charge of this case.”
“Since I have nothing to do, I came to the Yamen to familiarize myself with the environment.” Xu Qi ‘an probed,”is this related to the demon clan?” If it’s confidential, then pretend I didn’t ask.”
Li Yuchun grabbed a few fried beans and threw them into his mouth. As he ate, he said, “”I can’t tell you the details of the case, so I’ll pick what I can tell you ... The initial suspicion is that the remnants of the thousand demon Kingdom are lurking near the capital.”
“Thousand demon Kingdom?” Xu Qi ‘an recalled the history of the ” Jia Zi demon-slaying game “.
although the thousand Fey Kingdom has become history, over the years, the remnants of the thousand Fey Kingdom have been trying to restore their country and take back their land. Li Yuchun said, ”
Buddhism leads the countries in the Western Region and is very powerful. Even the thousand demon Kingdom at its peak was not its match. If they want to restore their country, they must have other means.
Xu Qi ‘an’s heart moved,’ so you’re targeting the gunpowder in Da Feng? That’s why the monster drove away the nearby grey households.”
He was suddenly enlightened.
is there anything else? ” Li Yuchun asked, still busy.
Xu Qi ‘an said tactfully, “that’s all. Please continue with your work. I’ll just be in the side hall. If you need anything, just tell me.
Li Yuchun nodded.
After Xu Qi ‘an left, brother spring was reading materials while eating fried beans. He accidentally swept the fried beans to the ground, and the beans scattered all over the ground.
Li Yuchun stared at the beans on the ground in a daze and covered his eyes in pain.
......
In the side hall next door, Xu Qi ‘an was looking at the small Jade Mirror. Suddenly, he felt a violent Qi fluctuation coming from the next room. It was only for a moment, but it immediately subsided.
He didn’t care about it. He was thinking about the reason why the chief eunuch let him hold the Jade Mirror.
Although the book of the nether world recognized its master by blood, since the old Daoist had given him the mirror, it meant that the blood recognition was not unchangeable.
I’m just a Gong, there’s no reason for you to let me keep such an important treasure, right?
Forget it, let’s not worry about it for now. Since there are hidden spies watching my house, I don’t have to worry about the safety of my aunt and the girls for the time being.
The earth sect’s experts had been forced to retreat, so they probably wouldn’t come back to the capital for a while.
Xu Qi ‘an spent the whole day in a relaxed and happy manner.
‘Should I go look for Fu Xiang tonight? should I go look for Fu Xiang? or should I go look for Fu Xiang ...’
‘No, no, I should save money to buy a house and move second uncle and the others to live in the inner city. It’s safer that way ...’
He couldn’t waste money on a moment of joy. Although the floating fragrance courtesan is deeply in love with me and insists on not asking for money, I still have to reward the maidservants and dancers.
A few taels of silver were still silver.
Xu Qi ‘an turned his horse around and left the inner city with great determination.
By the time she got home, the lights were already on and the sky was dark.
...
.....
After dinner, he climbed over the wall and returned to his own courtyard. In this era where there were no mobile phones, computers, and nightlife, other than going to the education workshop, the only other way was to write a diary in the middle of the night to kill time.
Fu Xiang was really a woman who made people unable to stop themselves.
Xu Qi ‘an entered the room, took out the Flint on the table, and lit the candle.
Suddenly, his muscles tensed up and his body froze.
An old Daoist in a tattered Daoist robe was sitting cross-legged on the bed. His white hair was tied up with an ebony Daoist robe, and strands of messy hair hung down.
It showed an unrestrained and experienced look.
“We meet again.” The old Daoist gazed at him calmly, “the last time we met, you were still a martial artist in the spirit refinement realm. You’re already in the Qi refining stage, you’re indeed a Lucky Star.”
Xu Qi ‘an stood by the table, his body in a state of temporary combat alert. He said in a deep voice, ”
“Daoist priest broke into a house at night, what are your intentions?”
The old Daoist did not care about Xu Qi ‘an’s hostility. He said indifferently,”I’m here to tell you that my Junior Apprentice-brother, zilian, has already transformed into a feather. You don’t have to worry about anything anymore.”
...
“You killed him?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“It’s to help him transform.”
So you’re here to help me transform tonight?
No. 9 was dead. He had died in the hands of this Daoist priest ... If he could deal with zilian alone, he would not have to give up his treasure ... Xu Qi ‘an speculated that the old Daoist was likely to have a fight between the Sandpiper and the clam, and he had benefited from it.
The problem was, how did he set up an ambush in advance?
‘I know ...’ You’re following me again! Xu Qi ‘an’s mouth twitched.
For the old Daoist to be able to sneak into the Xu residence, it meant that he had followed him a long time ago. Thus, he was naturally clear about his identity as the night watchman and his deployment.
The Zhou mansion’s killer, the night watchman, the old Daoist ... I’m just an ordinary transmigrator. You bastards, all of you are following me.
it’s my fault. He gave me the treasure. How could he not follow me and pay attention to me ... “Are you here to take back the book of the nether world?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.
“I already have one,” the old Daoist shook his head.
A small Jade Mirror slid out of his sleeve. It was exactly the same as the one in Xu Qi ‘an’s arms.
“This is the fragment number nine that my Junior Brother wields, and it has finally returned to its original owner. As for the benefactor’s side, just take it as this poor Daoist’s gift to you.”
Without waiting for Xu Qi ‘an’s reply, he continued, “”There are a total of nine fragments of the Book of the Netherworld, and I’ve given them to different people. Almsgiver, you’re also someone that this poor Daoist has his eyes on. ”
“Those seven different people formed the heaven and earth Association.”
“Who are they?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.
The old Daoist shook his head. they have their own identities and come from all over the world. If benefactor is curious, you can ask yourself. You know how to use the book of the nether world. I will not reveal anyone’s identity, including yours.
“I’ve come here tonight to invite you to join the heaven and earth Association,”
“Me?” Xu Qi ‘an asked with great vigilance, “”I’m just a martial artist who has just entered the Qi refining stage. What do I have to deserve such high regard from you?”
“I’ve said just now that you’re a man of great fortune,”
Xu Qian’s heart skipped a beat.’As expected, this old Daoist can see through my Strange Luck.’
Finally, there was someone who knew what was going on for me. I picked up the silver from time to time. Although it felt good, I didn’t feel at ease at all.
After all, I’m a down-to-earth person.
He didn’t directly mention his inexplicable luck, but made full use of his eloquence. “Daoist priest, please enlighten me.”
[ P.S. A book, the young ” this number is poisonous “. Every time I read his book, my face would hurt, and there would always be wheels running over it. ]
The speed of the book was very fast. It was a completely different style from a serious author like me who sold positive energy.
