Nightwatcher

At night, the stars and the moon are dim, and the fog is shrouded.

Xu Qi'an carried Zhong Li on his back and looked down at the capital from a high altitude. This largest city in the world was quietly dormant in the darkness.

An elevated fire pile was set up every twenty steps on the horse path of the city wall for lighting. Coupled with the candlelights in the imperial palace, imperial city, inner city and other places, it was quite bright.

"It's so beautiful." Zhong Li, who was lying on his back, murmured.

"Si Tianjian's gossip platform, can't you see such a night scene?" Xu Qi'an laughed.

"I can't see such beauty. Besides, the teacher wants to watch the sky at night. We are generally not allowed to go to the gossip stage at this time, except for Caiwei." Zhong Li regretted.

"Why can you pick Wei?" Xu Qi'an was surprised.

"Maybe it's because she is the youngest and the stupidest, so the teacher prefers her." Zhong Li guessed.

Are you talking bad about Caiwei? I didn't expect you to be such a Zhong Li. Uh, but with the character of this unlucky fifth senior sister, she should be telling the truth. It seems that Caiwei's brain is not very smart, which is recognized by Si Tianjian.

Thinking in his heart, Xu Qi'an changed the subject and said in a low voice: "I saw a city in my dream, and every night, there would be lights lit up along the street, coiling around every corner of the city.

"In my dream, I saw a city full of towering buildings like the Star Observatory, emitting lights of different colors.

"I saw a city in my dream, with luminous carriages running through the streets, the whole city was bright and dazzling, and the candlelight lasted all night until dawn."

Zhong Li was a little dazed when he heard that, and murmured: "That must be a fairyland."

Xu Qi'an didn't answer, but smiled, with nostalgia and sadness in his smile.

The flying sword and the paper crane didn't land immediately, but hovered in the sky outside the city for a while, which was similar to knocking on the door, giving Si Tianjian's magician or Beijing master a chance to react.

Let them know that the comer is not an enemy, but one of their own.

If he landed suddenly without saying hello, then the masters in the capital might react in a panic.

Feijian and Zhihe landed in a secluded alley not far from the gate of the city, and everyone bid farewell. Lina, who was in a coma, was taken away by Daoist Jinlian, and he took care of it temporarily. After all, Jinlian is the leader of the Tiandihui.

This responsibility should be borne by him.

Xu Qi'an carried Zhong Li on his back and walked towards the guard at the gate of the city.

There is a horse with a strong figure and graceful curves tethered there.

Last night, he went out of the city with Daoist Jin Lian and others. He also took the little mare with him, and handed it over to the patrolling sword guards on the way, and asked them to help deposit it at the gate of the city, and be guarded by the soldiers guarding the city.

"Little mare, your needle man is back."

Xu Qi'an touched the neck of the young mare, untied the reins, and rode back to the inner city with Zhong Li.

From the outer city gate to the inner city Xu's mansion, he had to walk until midnight, and it was faster to ride a horse, Xu Qi'an was glad that he had the foresight.

Using his silver gong privilege to open the gate of the inner city, it was already late at night when he returned to Xu's mansion, Zhong Li washed up briefly, and set his bones with the wooden stick Xu Qi'an gave him.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, you shouldn't have suffered this." Xu Qi'an said guiltily.

"Take me back to Si Tianjian tomorrow, and the teacher will heal my leg injury."

Zhong Li lowered her head, rubbed her legs, and said in a low voice, "I want to use your luck to avoid bad luck, so naturally I have to give something back. In your words, this is an exchange of equal value, an invariable law of alchemy."

"Senior Sister Zhong is so understanding and reasonable, it's really touching. Is Senior Sister Zhong sleepy?"

Zhong Li shook his head.

Snapped! Xu Qi'an put a blank booklet in front of her, and said, "If you're not sleepy, please help me type. I'll be very tired carrying you back to the capital from Xiangcheng, Senior Sister. Equivalent exchange, the principle of alchemy remains unchanged." .”

Zhong Li was dumbfounded.

Xu Qi'an urged while pouring water and ink, "Hurry up, I promised the princess that I would send her a storybook. I've been dove on her for a day."

"oh"

Zhong Li responded weakly, walked over to the table and sat down, straightened his back, and held the writing brush that Xu Qi'an handed over.

The next day, Xu Qi'an dressed neatly, tied a gong, hung up his saber, and sent Zhong Li back to her natal home.

Watching Zhong Li enter the Star Observation Tower, Xu Qi'an suddenly heard a long chant from behind:

"The sky is the shore at the end of the sea, and I am the peak of the ultimate art."

Brother Yang changed his catchphrase? No, you said such a thing under the Star Observation Building, have you ever considered the feeling of supervision? Xu Qi'an raised a warm smile, turned around and said:

"Senior Brother Yang, what do you want from me?"

"You seem to have some problems last night, do you need my help to deal with them?" Yang Qianhuan said quietly.

Xu Qi'an felt a shiver down his spine, squinted his eyes, and stared sharply at Yang Qianhuan's back.

What does he mean by that? He refers to the luck I grabbed yesterday in the ancient tomb? Impossible, how could Yang Qianhuan discover my weird luck.

When he was in doubt, Yang Qianhuan stood with his hands behind his back and said, "I'm just helping the teacher pass on a message. Tell me what you think, and I'll reply."

My idea is to beat you up! !

The corner of Xu Qi'an's mouth twitched.

"Unsurprisingly, maybe when I returned to Beijing last night, the supervisor noticed my anomaly at the gossip stage, there is no doubt that a first-grade warlock who climbed high and looked far could not have discovered it until now.

"The supervisor asked Brother Yang to bring me a message, that is to say, the heavenly secret he blocked for me has expired? Is it because of the impact of luck received yesterday?

"Then I will definitely refuse. Duer Luohan has gone back to the Western Regions. What reason do I have to accept the 404 Dafa? Every time I go to Goulan during this period, my heart is bleeding. A life without free prostitution is meaningless."

Thinking of this, Xu Qi'an gave his own answer: "No need, thank the supervisor for me."

A clip of the filly, rattled away.

On the way to the yamen, Xu Qi'an, who was bathed in the morning sun, suddenly saw a carriage in front of him out of control, and the horses pulling the carriage seemed to be stimulated, and they became mad and went on a rampage.

The driver tried his best to stop the horse, pulling the rein violently, but he couldn't stop the horse.

The carriage ran out of control and ran into a young child on the side of the road. He was squatting and playing on the side of the road, and his mother was picking cheap jewelry from a nearby stall.

Suddenly, no one could react. Hearing the exclamation of passers-by, the young mother turned her head and saw a carriage heading straight for her son.

Immediately there was a terrified scream.

At this moment, a young man in a policeman's uniform flashed like a ghost, and stretched out his hand to press the horse's forehead.

"Law"

The horse roared and fell to its front hooves, while the young man in the watchman's uniform remained motionless.

"Thank you for your help, sir, thank you for your help."

The young mother hugged her son, wept with joy, and kept bowing to thank him.

Pedestrians who witnessed this scene burst into loud applause.

"Isn't this Master Xu? Isn't this our hero."

Someone recognized him and shouted in surprise.

Hearing this, passers-by who had watched the fight recognized Xu Qi'an again, and shouted: "That's right, it's Master Xu, it's Master Xu."

Now, the common people who have never watched martial arts know that this handsome Yin Gong who rescued people is the hero who stole the limelight in the martial arts and suppressed the arrogance of the Buddhist sect.

So I am already so popular, so loved by the people of the capital Xu Qi'an sighed, cupped his hands and signaled, and rode away on the pony.

Behind him, the voice of shouting "Master Xu" came from afar, and it lasted for a long time.

"This is a bit cool, how do you say there is a saying, pretending to be natural is what you get by chance," Xu Qian said with confidence.

But then, he encountered another incident of missing a child. In order to prevent encountering human traffickers, he waited for the child's family to find him, and received a lot of thanks and praise from passers-by.

An old lady fell down while crossing the road, and there was no one to help her. As a five-good young man, Xu Qi'an was naturally duty-bound to encounter such a thing, and he was thanked by the old lady and praised by passers-by.

Then, Xu Qi'an realized something was wrong: "Why do I pretend to be forced wherever I go? This is unscientific. Do you want to help Miss Qiu's family beat Li Fu after helping the old lady across the road?"

The thought flashed, and sure enough, I saw a woman with disheveled hair rushing out from the street, crying.

A man chased out from behind, slapped him with a raised palm, and angrily reprimanded:

"Kill you shameless woman, kill you shameless woman, I will write a divorce letter now"

Something was wrong Xu Qi'an turned the horse's head, twitched the filly's buttocks, and rattled towards Si Tianjian.

On the way, he calmed down and thought about it, and came up with a more reasonable guess.

The original weird luck in his body slowly awakened as his cultivation level improved, and it was a gradual process. Therefore, the external manifestation is to pick up silver, from one to five coins

Now, grabbing the luck in the jade seal is like counterproductive, and the luck is out of control.

"Zhong Li is plagued by bad luck, and he must always be on guard against unexpected accidents. And I am plagued by luck, so it is not a good thing that I have to always be on guard against unexpected incidents. Moreover, I am not sure that these accidents will happen in the first place. Or did it happen deliberately because of my appearance, and the purpose was to make me pretend (to gain prestige)?"

Thinking of this, Xu Qi'an laughed at himself: I can write a book in the future called "I Really Didn't Want to Pretend"

He hurried back to the Sitianjian, and was waiting to get off the horse, when a loud and long chant came from behind:

"The roc rises with the same wind in one day and soars up to 90,000 miles. Holding the bright moon and picking the stars, there is no one like me in the world."

Amidst the lingering sound, a piece of purple jade flew in front of Xu Qi'an, hanging in the air without moving.

Yang Qianhuan said: "The teacher asked me to give it to you. He said that you will have some troubles, and this jade pendant can solve it."

Can this jade pendant block my luck? After taking the jade pendant and inspecting it, the jade is shaped like a disc, the size of Xu Lingyin's palm, and the tentacles are warm and moist. Xu Qi'an is convinced:

"Jianzheng is really a god, he knew I would come back."

Yang Qianhuan heard it, and shook his head: "No, it was given to me before."

"?"

Xu Qi'an's expression was fixed on his face: "Then why didn't you give it to me just now?"

Yang Qianhuan said as it should: "The most important things should naturally be saved for later. Just like heroes always appear at critical moments."

I can't take it anymore, the prison guard is about to beat this guy to death for me Xu Qi'an greeted Yang Qianhuan's eighteenth generation of ancestors a hundred times in his heart, with a dark face, he swung his whip and left.

Dexin Garden.

Xu Qi'an and Princess Huaiqing were sitting together, holding hot tea in their hands, with the steam spreading on their handsome faces, Xu Qi'an said:

"I heard that His Highness has read history books thoroughly, and his talent is not inferior to that of Erlang."

Huaiqing crossed his hands on his lower abdomen, straightened his back, and asked coldly:

"Not to lose to Erlang?"

Those clear and bright eyes like autumn water looked at Xu Qi'an for a few seconds.

"It's not appropriate to describe it as a humble job, not inferior to the number one scholar." Xu Qi'an laughed.

Huaiqing didn't speak any more, stretched out his jade hands in his wide sleeves, took a sip from the teacup, and said, "What can I ask for advice?"

Talking to a smart person is easy Xu Qi'an said: "Does Your Highness know about the Daliang Dynasty?"

The exploration of ancient tombs outside Xiangcheng belongs to the mission of the gang within the Tiandihui. As Wei Yuan's second-five boy in the Tiandihui, Xu Qi'an should report this matter to Shangfeng, but because of Yuxi's luck, he intends to hide it.

"There are three dynasties named after "Daliang". The earliest one is about three thousand years ago, and the most recent one is after Dafeng established the country. .Eighteen years later, it was destroyed by Emperor Gaozu."

Without even thinking about it, Huaiqing gave the answer directly.

"Is there any earlier?" Xu Qi'an frowned.

Huaiqing shook his head.

It seems that there is indeed no record of the age of the murals in the official history books. This answer is expected, but Xu Qi'an is still a little disappointed.

Before the emergence of Confucianism, although the human race also had the habit of recording history, they were mostly painted on murals, which were not easy to preserve. After a war, they might be destroyed overnight.

It is only after the appearance of Confucianism that scholars began to make painstaking efforts to compile books and history, and regard it as a lifelong career and a glorious career.

"Is there anything else Mr. Xu needs to do?" Huaiqing reminded.

"there is none left"

Thinking in his heart, Xu Qi'an subconsciously shook his head.

"No more?" Huaiqing raised his voice slightly.

"Look at my memory, I promised to give the story book to His Highness." Xu Qi'an patted his head, took out the booklet from his bosom, put it on the case, and said:

"There was something at home yesterday, so it was delayed. Your Highness, please wait."

Huaiqing didn't even read the storybook, he said indifferently: "A few servant girls just want to read it, why does this palace say "wait for a hurry"?"

"It's okay, I will resign first."

Xu Qi'an was still thinking about going to Lin'an Mansion for a date.

Women are really troublesome, I don't have time to practice hard, why do you think of Lin'an's charming and affectionate face when you raise so many fish, Xu Qi'an can't wait.

"No."

When Xu Qi'an left the hall, Huaiqing stood up with her skirt in her hand, walked straight to the table, picked up the booklet in a hurry, glanced at it, and confirmed that the amount was large, her eyes flashed with relief.

Lingbao Temple.

An orange cat lightly jumped up the wall, glanced at the quiet courtyard, and jumped down from the wall.

It cocked its tail, walked across the cobbled path, came to the door of the quiet room, raised its paw, and knocked on the door.

The lattice door opened automatically, and Luo Yuheng's cold voice came out: "What are you doing in my Lingbao Temple again?"

"well!"

The orange cat sighed, shaking the air, and a vicissitudes of life came out: "Junior Sister, help the world, my body is dying."

"I think you like your current body." Luo Yuheng teased.

"Junior Sister, please don't talk nonsense." The orange cat was a little angry, and said righteously: "People of my generation don't stick to trivial matters."

"Stop talking nonsense, what's the matter." Luo Yuheng became impatient.

The orange cat showed a humane smile, and said cheekily, "I want to ask my junior sister for two blood fetus pills."

Luo Yuheng sighed: "I'm just a confidante who bewitches the king to cultivate Taoism and cause trouble for the government. My elixirs are all people's fat and people's ointment. Brother, aren't you afraid that after taking it, the fire of karma will burn your body, and your life will disappear?"

This stingy and vengeful woman Taoist Master Jin Lian said in a deep voice: "Junior Sister's words are wrong. Emperor Yuan Jing wants to practice Taoism, so what does it have to do with you? If someone with a bad heart is replaced as a national teacher, that is the real disaster.

"Junior sister is concerned about the common people in the world, so she took over the post of national teacher and watched Emperor Yuan Jing personally. Otherwise, the court would have been in chaos."

Luo Yuheng sighed quietly: "It would be great if everyone in the world could see clearly and clearly like senior brother. In fact, what you said is right, since you borrowed the luck of the imperial court to cultivate, you should be punished with words and pens."

"That, the blood fetus pill"

"A Blood Fetal Pill, thirty-eight taels of gold. In consideration of the fellowship, I will wipe off the change for my brother and give it sixty taels of gold."

If Pindao has so much money, why would he ask you! !

Daoist Jinlian's face was stiff.

After pondering for a moment, Priest Jin Lian climbed over the threshold and entered the quiet room, looked at the stunning beauty sitting cross-legged on the futon, and discussed:

"I exchange information for blood fetus pills."

Luo Yuheng didn't open his eyes, his five hearts were turned upwards, his delicate face was like a jade carving, and his red lips were lightly parted: "Although senior brother has a lot of information, I'm not interested."

The orange cat, Bi Tong, stared at her faintly, and said, "What if it belongs to Xu Qi'an?"

Luo Yuheng immediately opened his eyes.

PS: Go to bed after finishing the liver, and get up tomorrow to correct the typo. Sure enough, I can only calm down to code words in the middle of the night. What should I do when I get married?

nerve-wracking.
