Nightwatcher

"The little one!"

Zhong Li bandaged his head, took off his two embroidered shoes, hugged his knees, lowered his head, and said: "I have been in your mansion for a long time, from uncle to servant, my luck has deteriorated.

"Only that child has not changed in any way, and is not affected by bad luck."

It's not Lingyue, that's right, God let her inherit her aunt's beauty, if she is more partial to her, then Xiao Douding is too pitiful Xu Qi'an said:

"So, my sister is also a lucky person?"

Zhong Li shook her head slowly: "A person with good luck has a deep source of blessings and benefits everywhere. She is obviously not. She is purely lucky and will not be affected by bad luck."

"The luck of the people in the house has become worse. Hearing what you said, I suspect that I haven't picked up money these days. Is it because of you?"

Ever since he took over the unlucky Zhong Li, Xu Qi'an never picked up money again.

"I don't know." Zhong Li answered honestly.

"I suddenly had an idea, if Lingyin can be immune to your bad luck, then I will take her with me when I go out in the future, and I can pick up money again." Xu Qi'an thought for a while, and suggested: "Let's test it out."

"How to test?" Zhong Li asked.

"Wait."

Xu Qi'an went out immediately, went to the front hall and took out the potted orchid that his aunt loved, and put it on the roof of the corridor, then he walked to the east wing, listened carefully, and after confirming, he knocked on the door and said:

"Second Uncle, is Lingyin asleep?"

The second uncle's confused voice came from the room, and said, "You're making a fuss on the bed, what's the matter?"

"It's okay, you bring Lingyin out." Xu Qi'an said.

"good."

Second Uncle Xu didn't ask the reason, and opened the door with Xiao Douding in his arms. Xu Qi'an took a few steps back consciously. After all, this was the bedroom of Second Uncle and Aunt, and it was late at night, so he couldn't stand at the door.

"cauldron"

Xu Lingyin stretched out a pair of small arms, and rushed towards Xu Qi'an consciously.

Xu Qi'an carried her to his room, came to the corridor with potted plants above his head, put Xu Lingyin under it, and said, "Sit here and eat cakes, and we'll go back after eating."

Xu Lingyin, who was originally witty, would wonder why she had to sit outside to eat, but when she heard that there was something to eat, her modest IQ plummeted.

Happy answer: "Okay."

So Xu Qi'an put a small diced bean on the steps by the corridor, and pulled out a piece of pastry as if by magic, and asked her to sit there and eat it.

"Based on my bad luck, the potted plant will definitely fall." Zhong Li said in a low voice.

"En." Xu Qi'an nodded.

He was testing Xu Lingyin's Fuyuan. If Zhong Li made a mistake in his judgment, it would be fine. He would fly the potted plant to prevent Xiao Douding from being hurt.

A few seconds later, there was a "gudong" sound from the ridge of the roof, and then the potted plant fell down.

And at this moment, an orange cat sprang out from the flower garden, jumped up, slapped the potted plant away, and slapped Xu Qi'an.

Xu Qi'an turned his head to dodge, but Zhong Li did not dodge

The potted plant smashed against Zhong Li's head.

"I knew it would happen. I'll go back to the room to bandage the wound." Zhong Li walked away silently.

"cat, cat"

With a pastry in his mouth, Xiaodouding pointed at the orange cat and yelled excitedly.

"Okay, okay, big brother will carry you back to bed." Xu Qi'an carried Xiao Douding back to the east wing, handed her over to the second uncle, and then reminded the second uncle to supervise her brushing her teeth.

Considering that this was his aunt's favorite orchid, Xu Qi'an sent the broken porcelain, orchid and fertilizer back to the hall.

After doing all this, he came to the backyard and looked around, and saw the orange cat squatting on the edge of the well, looking at him with amber vertical pupils.

"Master."

Xu Qi'an approached and said hello.

"What were you doing just now?" the orange cat mumbled.

"It's just a small experiment."

The orange cat nodded slowly: "That prophet from Si Tianjian just now?"

Xu Qi'an said "hmm": "With the eyesight of the Taoist priest, he should be able to see the gathering of dark clouds above her head."

"It's not just dark clouds gathering, it's a person who has been condemned by God." The orange cat raised its paw and stroked the cat's whiskers: "It's also leaking the secrets of the sky. Compared with the prophets, the hexagram masters of the wizard system can be said to be favored by heaven.

"You only need to endure ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, and you can become a hexagram master after you get through it."

Hearing this, Xu Qi'an cheered and said, "And the prophet will suffer three thousand six hundred kalpas?"

Xu Qi'an suddenly gave a suspicious "hmm", frowned and said, "The fortune teller and hexagram master are actually the same thing, right? It's just a different name."

As he said that, he cast his eyes on Daoist Jinlian for proof.

Because of the different names, he didn't connect "Prophet" and "Guashi" before, but after listening to Daoist Jinlian's words, Xu Qi'an suddenly realized that the two seem to have the same meaning, but the names are different.

It's like "Goddess" and "Sea King", with different titles, but doing the same thing: keeping spare tires and fish.

The orange cat lowered its paws and squatted obediently on the edge of the well. It looked quite cute, but unfortunately the voice it said was that of a bad old man: "Oh, it seems that you don't know yet.

"The warlock system has only 600 years of history, and it has the same lifespan as Dafeng's fate, but don't you think it's strange that the Wufu system has been perfected, and there is still no martial arts. Wizards, Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism all have thousands of years of history.

"In just six hundred years, the warlock system is very complete except for the existence of no transcendent grades, from the ninth rank to the first rank."

That's right, the warlock system has been so perfect in just six hundred years. If we really create a system from scratch, what kind of genius is the first generation supervisor? How can such a person fail to surpass the level? Aware of the irrationality, he wondered:

"So, what's going on here?"

The orange cat didn't answer directly, and said with a smile: "I'll tell you a piece of history, and you can taste it yourself."

It licked its paws first, and then said: "The founding emperor of Dafeng had a hard time starting a business. He was forced to the end of the road several times. One year, he went to the Northeast to find the Witch God Sect to borrow troops. He promised that if he could overthrow the corrupt court and establish In the new dynasty, then he will accept Witchcraft as the state religion.

"The tens of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the Central Plains will also be included in the territory of the Sorcerer Sect, and the Sorcerer Sect agreed. He borrowed 200,000 elite soldiers from him, and there are many masters of the Sorcerer Sect.

"Later, the founding emperor overthrew the decadent former dynasty, defeated the princes from all walks of life, and unified the Central Plains. But the Witch God Sect did not become the Dafeng state religion as it wished.

"Because Dafeng has an extra Sitianjian, the warlock system was born."

There are only two words left in Xu Qi'an's mind: Fuck! !

Daoist Jinlian said on the surface that the black history of Dafeng's founding emperor crossing the river and demolishing bridges cannot be regarded as black history. After all, the founding emperors since ancient times are thick and dark people with extremely low moral bottom lines. A gentleman will never have such an achievement. In fact, Jinlian Dao The boss was revealing to him the source of the warlock system.

The warlock system was born out of the wizard system!

This is Xu Qi'an's judgment based on the reading comprehension he cultivated in his nine-year compulsory education.

No wonder the abilities of "Prophet Master" and "Gua Master" are so similar.

By the way, similar operations also include the warrior system and the monk system! Xu Qi'an suddenly realized that it was not impossible for a warlock to be born out of a wizard.

Moreover, he started associations and diverged his thoughts from this, suspecting that the first supervisor was in the team of wizards who supported him back then.

"Warlocks were born out of wizards. Although they have the roots of wizards, it is still not easy to create a brand new system. The secret behind this is probably only known to the first Jianzheng and the founding emperor of Dafeng. I suspect that this has something to do with the secrets that Jianzheng kept. This Maybe it can unveil the veil of the mysterious warlocks in Yunzhou."

Xu Qi'an expressed his doubts, hoping that the well-informed Daoist Jinlian could clear up his doubts.

It's a pity that Daoist Jin Lian didn't have the idea of ​​going through the tunnel to receive the liquid to Xu Qi'an, so he pretended not to hear.

I can only ask Wei Yuan or the eldest princess about this period of history. Xu Qi'an changed the topic and said, "Why does the Taoist priest want me?"

The orange cat looked at him quietly, and after a while, said: "Passing by here, I found that your fortune has disappeared, so I came to see it."

After Xu Qi'an listened, the first thing that came to mind was:? ? ?

After a while, what emerged was:! ! !

He realized the latter emotion. No wonder he hasn't picked up any money these days. It turned out that it was because of the supervision of 404 Dafa.

"But after seeing that girl, I understand why." Orange Cat said.

Daoist Jin Lian thought that Zhong Li's bad luck had offset my luck? Xu Qi'an did not explain and remained silent.

He was also not interested in giving liquid to an old Taoist priest.

After bidding farewell to Priest Jinlian, Xu Qi'an entered the room with a gloomy expression, staring at Zhong Li without saying a word.

The woman's head was wrapped in gauze, and her face was also wrapped in gauze. She looked pitiful. She noticed the change in Xu Qi'an's attitude, and whispered:

"What did that Daoist master tell you?"

"none of your business."

"Oh." She lowered her head slightly.

But Xu Qi'an didn't let her go, and said angrily: "I used to pick up money every day, do you know that?"

"I don't know, but I can understand." Zhong Li replied honestly.

"But because of you, the jailer kept me in the capital, blocking part of my luck." Xu Qi'an judged that it was part of luck, based on the fact that he was still able to ward off disasters for Zhong Li.

"sorry"

Is it useful to say I'm sorry, I lose several million a day Xu Qi'an said in an air, "You have to pay me."

"I, I have no money." Zhong Li lowered her head in shame.

"If you don't have any money, just sleep with me. My bed is very firm and won't collapse."

The next morning, Xu Qi'an woke up refreshed, extremely satisfied, and the bed didn't collapse.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Zhong Li, what he said last night was angry, although the behavior of the prisoner made him very sad.

This woman is miserable enough, Xu Qi'an's conscience does not allow him to harm others.

However, Zhong Li agreed to give him two magical artifacts as compensation, Xu Qi'an was very happy immediately, and slept very sweetly.

After washing up, he went to the front hall to have breakfast, and heard Xiao Douding crying from a distance.

After crossing the threshold and entering the room, Xu Lingyin was pressed on the stool by her aunt, waving a feather duster and spanking her little buttocks.

Xu Ershu, Xu Lingyue, and Xu Erlang ate without changing their expressions. They didn't hear their sister (daughter) crying, and they only cared about porridge, buns, and vegetables.

Seeing the injustice on the road, Xu Qi'an yelled: "Stop!"

The aunt ignored her nephew, she beat her own daughter, it had nothing to do with this kid.

"Auntie, you are going too far." Xu Qi'an snatched the feather duster and said, "The bell is still young, you can't hit her like this."

"cauldron"

This "big pot" yelled heart and soul, and it felt like a father.

"Brother," Xu Lingyue explained, "Mother's beloved orchid has been broken and cannot be kept alive. Mother suspects that Lingyin broke it."

Xu Qi'an returned the feather duster to his aunt, and patted the back of her hand: "Educate children as soon as possible. If you don't hit now, it will be too late later. Auntie is good at beating. Go on, Auntie."

"Aww!" Xu Lingyin cried so sadly.

Sure enough, she is a child who has no luck, purely relying on her character.

With the increasing number of people from the rivers and lakes pouring into the capital, the law and order in the capital plummeted. To solve this problem, Wei Yuan came up with a solution.

He ordered people to build a solid white marble high platform in the southeast and northwest of the outer city, named: Haoxia Terrace.

It is specially used to resolve disputes for those "what are you looking at" and "what are you looking at" knights in the rivers and lakes. All of a sudden, people from all over Beijing flocked to the hero stage, and those with enemies in the capital jumped onto the stage, and shouted, "XXX dares to fight on stage, if you don't come, you will be a grandson."

If XXX hears it, he will be invited to fight the next day.

It not only has a platform for the knights of the rivers and lakes to resolve conflicts, but also does not have to worry about harming ordinary people, and it also allows the people in the capital to eat melons and have fun watching every day, which stimulates local catering consumption

"Wei Yuan still has a few talents, and he is an official who can make political achievements." Xu Qi'an nodded secretly, and continued to listen to Second Uncle Xu talking about what he had seen and heard during his tour of the city.

In addition, the young heroes who have no hatred will also come to the stage to compete together and gain fame. The female heroes are not interested in performing on stage, but are more interested in talking and laughing with the famous heroes in the world, and attending banquets.

Keen to find opportunities to cling to the dignitaries in the capital, keen to hook up with potential students in the capital.

It can be seen that since ancient times, what men and women pursue are very different.

What men pursue is instant fame, and what women pursue is instant fame.

Just because there are so many flirtatious junkies outside, Second Uncle Xu ordered Erlang not to go out if there is nothing to do, so as not to let those rude female heroes get greedy.

Erlang stayed at home obediently, and the female goblins were handed over to his father. Xu Qi'an extracted the core meaning of the second uncle.

"Second Uncle, among the heroines who are coming to Beijing, are there any famous ones that spread far and wide?"

After Xu Qi'an finished speaking, seeing that his sister and aunt had different expressions, he immediately added: "I'm here to prevent it from happening."

Aunt and sister looked at Uncle Xu again, Uncle Xu frowned and complained, "You boy, how could I know about this kind of problem, am I the one who pays attention to such things?"

Xu Xinian let out a disdainful "ah" as he watched his elder brother and his father play together.

After breakfast, the uncle and nephew went out together and brought the horse. Uncle Xu touched the little mare and said with emotion: "After following you, it seems to be getting more and more energetic."

"I got nourishment." Xu Qi'an replied.

"Huh?" Second Uncle expressed doubts.

"The food in the prisoner's yamen is good. The feed is concentrated, barley, soybeans, eggs, and coarse salt." Xu Qi'an explained.

When Second Uncle Xu heard this, he was immediately envious, and said: "Then let's change it and send my horse to the watchman's yamen to improve the food."

Xu Qi'an waved his hands again and again: "I won't change my ride."

"Second Uncle, let's talk about the heroines." Xu Qi'an is very concerned about the heroines of the Jianghu, probably because of the Jianghu complex in his previous life.

Speaking of this, Second Uncle Xu is very familiar, "It is said that there are countless beautiful female heroes in the capital, but four of them are the most outstanding ones. Also handsome.

"Rong Rong from Wanhualou, nicknamed Ecstasy Hand, is said by her colleagues to be a seductive vixen. No man can stop her charm."

Ecstasy hand? !

Is it the ecstasy hand that I understand? Does it mean 挊挊挊?

"The other one is the female snitch with a thousand faces. I haven't seen her before, but it is said that she is proficient in the art of disguise, and she shows up as a stunning beauty every time."

Generally speaking, such girls are ugly.

"The last one is even more remarkable. It's a famous female swordsman who wields twin swords, a disciple of the Leizhou Double Swords School." Second Uncle Xu said with his tusk:

"What a heroic heroine, if I were twenty years younger, I would still choose your aunt."

Xu Qi'an nodded, thinking that the second uncle still loves his aunt very much, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let those heroines be left to your twenty-year-old nephew."

Arriving at the yamen, Xu Qi'an spent half an hour practicing at the entrance of the familiar Yinluo Minshan, and then planned to take the two gongs under his hand to patrol the streets - the Spring Breeze Hall was set on fire, and the Cover it.

"Boss, where are we going to patrol the streets?"

"Do you know where heroines like to hang out?" Xu Qi'an asked.

"Naturally, it's the Hero Arena. There are four arenas in the south, east, north, and west. It's very lively now. Many people in the inner city are rushing to the outer city to watch the excitement."

"Okay, then go to the Haoxia Terrace in Nancheng today." Xu Qi'an made a decision.

As soon as he stepped out of the yamen, he saw a horse galloping towards him. The guards on the horses were dressed in court uniforms, and they were the guards of Lin'an.

"Master Xu!"

The guard was overjoyed when he saw Xu Qi'an, he reined in the horse and stopped abruptly.

"Master Xu, Second Highness, please enter the palace as soon as possible."

"What's the matter?" Xu Qi'an asked calmly.

"The Second Highness said that human life is a matter of heaven and her life is in your hands." The guard said in a deep voice.

"???"

Xu Qi'an ordered Tongluo to lead the horse, and said, "Is there something wrong in the palace?"

PS: Change first and then change.
