Nightwatcher

At three o'clock in the morning, Xu Qi'an rode on his beloved little mare, which would never get stuck in traffic, and briskly rushed to the Sitianjian. In the warm reception of the white-clothed warlocks, he found Chu Caiwei who was listening to Song Qing's teaching.

"Miss Caiwei, I want to buy a house in the inner city. I know that Si Tianjian will observe Feng Shui, so I would like to ask you for help." Xu Qi'an pointed out his purpose.

Chu Caiwei looked away from the bottles and cans on the table, and raised her face. The face of an eighteen-year-old girl looks pink.

Both beautiful and pink, bright and sparkling big eyes, the whites of the eyes are as clear as a baby, looking extremely pure.

We all know that the eyes of young children are clear, bright, and pure because the whites of their eyes are transparent.

Unlike adults, with age, the whites of the eyes will become cloudy and bloodshot.

Chu Caiwei's eyes are as clear as a baby's, big and bright, and extremely beautiful.

"I want to learn alchemy, I won't go." Chu Caiwei puffed her cheeks and turned her face away.

Her aunt is here? Xu Qi'an was in a bad mood, guessing in his heart, and heard Song Qing say: "I'll call a junior brother to accompany you."

Why do I want a junior? quit! This kind of thing can only be meaningful if the junior sister is with her, who likes to go shopping with a big man. Xu Qi'an shook his head, declined Song Qing's kindness, and said:

"Why does Miss Caiwei spread dung and paint the wall like this today?"

Chu Caiwei answered seriously with a small face: "I have been stuck as a seventh-rank Feng Shui master for more than a year. I can already advance to alchemy, but alchemy is too difficult, tiring and boring."

Well, understand, science and engineering is a woman's nightmare.

Chu Caiwei continued: "Moreover, to be promoted to a sixth-grade alchemist, one needs to independently complete a brand new alchemy technique, carry it forward, and get positive feedback from the people, in order to be promoted successfully."

Xu Qi'an didn't understand this passage: "Get feedback from the people?"

"Do you know who made gunpowder?"

"How do I know that?"

"Gunpowder was refined three hundred years ago by a feng shui master of the Sitianjian. After he promoted gunpowder, he was recognized by the people and promoted to an alchemist. Of course, it doesn't mean that he has to refine it to shock the world. Items. Brother Song Qing is an alchemist who was promoted after refining colored glaze." Chu Caiwei said: "The key point is the feedback from the people."

It turned out that it was Song Qing, you bastard, who sabotaged my plan to make money. Xu Qi'an secretly hated him, and asked in confusion, "Why do you want to get feedback from the common people?"

Chu Caiwei immediately looked at Song Qing, who pondered for a moment, and said, "This is Si Tianjian's secret, so it's fine for you to talk about it, but remember not to spread it."

After Xu Qi'an nodded, Song Qing said, "What do you think is the difference between Sitianjian and other cultivation systems?"

"For the country and the people, selfless dedication is particularly noble." Xu Qi'an said seriously.

Such an answer made Song Qing and the white-clothed warlocks beside him smile unconsciously.

As expected of Mr. Xu, Si Tianjian's best friend, Song Qing nodded in satisfaction, and said enthusiastically, "Yes, you are a person with a very unique and precise vision, which I admire very much.

"In the major systems, the Ninth Grade is the foundation. In fact, the uniqueness of the Ninth Grade represents the core of the system. The refinement state of martial arts, the enlightenment state of Confucianism, and the novice state of Buddhism."

The core of martial artist's refining state is the body, and the body is the foundation of the warrior. Confucianism's enlightening state, uh, does this mean that if you don't have a brain, don't study? In the novice realm of Buddhism, young novice monks must observe precepts, and receiving precepts is the foundation for monks to comprehend Buddhism. What about the nine-rank medical practitioner realm for warlocks? Doctors don't seem to have much to do with warlocks, do they?

Xu Qi'an pondered, and Song Qing saw that he hadn't enlightened yet, so she pointed out: "Ninth-rank doctors are not doctors in essence, but human beings. The warlock system follows the human way, so the achievements of sixth-rank alchemists need the approval of the people. So Si Tianjian needs to be attached to the imperial court."

Warlock walk is humane? It should not be the humanity I think. No wonder this group of white clothes are obviously very proud, but what they do is "serving the people"; no wonder the supervisors of all dynasties are the guardians of the capital, and they must be attached to the court. This reminds me of the need to be attached The Confucianism in the imperial court, the Confucianism has no second-rank masters so far. According to Erlang, it is very likely that he has been cut off from his official career. This is like a seventh-rank Feng Shui master who cannot be promoted because he cannot be recognized by the common people?

There are Taos, so there must be other Taos. Apart from the superficial system differences, there is a distinction of "Tao" hidden behind it?

"Do you have any clues about the new alchemy?" Xu Qi'an asked.

Song Qing glanced at her junior sister, and said helplessly: "I'm not smart at first, and I don't like to study. Hey, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Several other warlocks in white shook their heads one after another, expressing their disapproval of Chu Caiwei's promotion.

"Junior Sister Caiwei can only depend on chance."

"Hey, Teacher Jianzheng doesn't care about it, probably because she thinks that junior sister, a girl, doesn't need to be too high-level."

"There's nothing we can do."

The warlocks in white said regretfully and sighed.

Chu Caiwei pursed her lips, like a poor student with rubbish grades, sighing in the face of her elders who hate iron for being weak.

There is no chicken essence in this world yet. I don't know if making chicken essence is considered to be an alchemy. Xu Qi'an murmured: "For this, I have a solution."

Swish! On the spot, in the alchemy room, all the people in white looked over, their eyes shining with gold.

"Really, there is really a way?" Song Qing's eyes widened, both the ecstasy of learning a new alchemy, and the relief of an old father who finally solved a problem in his mind.

"Master Xu, what Master Xu said is serious?" The white clothes approached excitedly, and the white clothes who were busy doing alchemy experiments also put down their work and stared at Xu Qi'an expectantly.

"Let me think about it again, and I will give you an answer in a few days." After Xu Qi'an said, he looked at Chu Caiwei: "Miss Caiwei, do you have time today?"

"Yes, yes," the white-clothed warlocks in the room said in unison.

Song Qing pushed Chu Caiwei to stand up, and said earnestly, "Young Master Xu is a nobleman of our Tianjian, isn't he hundreds of times more important than alchemy. Today you will accompany him to stroll around the inner city."

In this way, Chu Caiwei was pushed into the wolf's den by her seniors.

Xu Qi'an brought Chu Caiwei to the tooth shop, and an old broker greeted him warmly: "Master and Madam, do you want to buy a property or rent a house?"

It's an old man, Xu Qi'an, who was entertained by a woman in uniform in the workplace who was always protruding and warped in her previous life, complained in her heart, and smiled on the surface: "Buy property."

The smile on the old agent's face became more and more enthusiastic, and the commission for renting a house and buying a house was not the same.

"What scale?"

"It's three."

The smile on the old manager's face could not be described as enthusiastic, but it was almost crying with joy when he saw his long-lost father.

It was reasonable for him to be so excited. Depending on the location in the inner city, not to mention ordinary small courtyards, the price of a Sanjin house ranged from 5,000 to 10,000 taels of silver.

Houses with three or more entrances are not something ordinary people can buy. Yaxing has not sold a mansion of this level this year, and it has been open for a year.

"Do you have a fancy house?" The old manager asked humbly.

"Mansions from 5,000 to 7,000 taels, please make a list." Xu Qi'an sat down bravely, holding a teacup, and took a sip of the best quality green tea in the dental store.

The taste is mediocre, far inferior to that of Wei Yuan Tea House.

Soon, several lists were made out, Xu Qian took a glance at them, carefully recalled them for a moment, and directly eliminated three of them, leaving only one.

"Why only this one?" Chu Caiwei took out a handful of candied fruit from the buckskin pocket like a magic trick.

"Because the house above is close to the Jiaofang Division." Xu Qi'an raised his eyebrows and smiled.

The location and area of ​​the house are listed on the paper, and more detailed information needs to be consulted separately. Xu Qi'an glanced at it and found a house with a good location and a large area, but the price is much lower than other houses. The serial number of the house is: B2 Pick up three.

"Old man, why is this house so cheap?" Xu Qi'an asked calmly.

The price of B213 is 5,500 taels of silver, and houses of the same level as it are priced at more than 7,000 taels.

"It's cheap for a reason." The old manager looked around and said in a low voice:

"That house is evil and uninhabitable, the guest officer should choose another one."

Xu Qi'an and Chu Caiwei looked at each other, thinking evil? Then I, a watchman, really want to see what kind of evil method it is.

But Xu Qi'an was not reckless, and asked cautiously: "What's the matter? Old man, it's a good way to say it."

Although the capital city is a place to fight gangsters, there are indeed many hidden masters who don't know the details, or there are indeed some very evil places. Xu Qi'an heard many weird legends about the capital city when he was a child.

PS: I suddenly discovered a very embarrassing thing. At first the name of the academy was "White Deer Academy", and gradually it became Yunlu Academy. The most embarrassing thing, I haven't discovered it myself until today. I only discovered it after a reader chatted with me privately.

I was instantly ashamed, and then I patted my chest and said: I must change it.

Then, I went to find out, and found that the appearance frequency of Bailu Academy and Yunlu Academy is 50-50, and the scalp is numb across more than a hundred chapters. .

Everyone tacitly assume that this is not the case!
