Nightwatcher

Xu Qi'an smiled, without any fear, sat down at the table, poured himself a glass of water, and said while drinking:

"I can't stop General Li from doing what he wants to do. However, I also have a lot of things that I didn't share with them. For example, the details of Yunzhou, and General Li said that he is a genius in solving crimes. Of course, there are more .”

Come on, hurt each other, who is afraid of whom!

Li Miaozhen tried not to show his expression, endured the shame in his heart, and said coldly: "I don't mind the dispute between heaven and man, let me teach you a lesson first."

The little hand patted the table, and the flying sword on the back unsheathed, circled a half-arc in mid-air, and poked at Xu Qi'an's butt.

Susu's face was full of gloating.

Li Miaozhen looked at Priest Jinlian from the corner of her eye. She thought that Priest Jinlian would definitely stop her. However, what she saw was Priest Jinlian stroking his beard and smiling, without any intention of stopping her.

Hmph, it seems that the Taoist chief also thinks this guy is hateful, and the thought of wanting me to teach him a lesson flashed across his mind, Li Miaozhen saw that kid stretched out his hand to grab Feijian without looking back.

Xu Qi'an's palm was quickly dyed with a layer of rich golden light, "Ding", there was a sharp sound of gold and stone colliding in the palm.

Li Miaozhen got up abruptly, her beautiful eyes widened, she stared at Xu Qian's arm in disbelief, and said in a voice of exclamation:

"Buddhist golden body?"

Xu Qi'an grinned and said: "That's right, the magic skill of Vajra won during the martial arts fight, General Li, your flying sword is a little soft, use more strength."

Li Miaozhen, the Buddhist golden body won by fighting skills, was stunned. The court's notice did not include relevant content.

"Master, he looks down on you." Susu immediately turned on fire.

The worries just now came from the bottom of my heart, but the quarrel now is also sincere.

"Just trying to learn the Taoist flying sword." Xu Qi'an raised his eyebrows.

"good."

Li Miaozhen no longer held back his hand, and manipulated the flying sword to try to break free from Xu Qi'an's shackles. "Buzzing" the flying sword kept trembling, but it couldn't get out of the palm.

The saint of Tianzong showed a solemn look, and she made a formula with one hand, and the flying sword changed from retreat to advance, advancing little by little.

Xu Qi'an's masticatory muscles bulged from the side face, and the veins on his forehead and palms protruded, as if he was wrestling with someone.

The friction between the palm and the flying sword made a toothache sound.

The silent wrestling lasted for a few seconds, and only a "boom" was heard. The roof was blown away by the violent air machine, the broken beams and tiles fell with a "crash", and the doors and windows were also blown up in an instant.

As expected of an old ghost of twenty years, Susu propped up the barrier of Yin Qi and barely blocked the impact of Qi.

"Click to stop, click to stop"

Daoist Jin Lian cried out distressedly.

Xu Qi'an and Li Miaozhen looked at each other, one withdrew his sword and the other withdrew his hand.

In just a few months, his cultivation has advanced to this level. Li Miaozhen looked at Xu Qi'an in a rather complicated manner. When they met in Yunzhou, he was an eighth-rank warrior who had hit the realm of refining gods.

In the eyes of Li Miaozhen, who was at the fifth rank at the time, such a cultivation base was not bad. Who would have thought that after two or three months, he would be so powerful.

One must know that her cultivation is not slow to improve, she is now a Nascent Soul of the fourth rank of the Taoist sect, which is not what it used to be.

But now, Li Miaozhen felt powerless that her talent was only so much.

"Ahem!"

Daoist Jin Lian coughed and said with a smile: "You use your flying sword to attack his body, you are using your own weaknesses to attack the other's strengths. Let's have a little discussion, don't take it seriously."

Li Miao is really a master of the fourth rank, and the method of Tianzong has not yet been used. Flying swordsmanship is no problem to cut the sixth rank of copper skin and iron bones, but it is a little weak against the Buddhist King Kong.

Why is this kid's vajra magic advanced so fast? Daoist Jinlian glanced at Xu Qi'an, and doubts flashed in his heart.

"In a real fight, I'm not your opponent, but if you want to break my King Kong Invincible, you will have to spend some effort." Xu Qi'an said modestly, and then added in his heart:

At most seven days, after I absorb the blood essence of the monk Shenshu, I will be able to raise the Vajra Divine Art to the realm of Xiaocheng.

The real effect of the blood essence left to him by the monk Shenshu is to increase the speed of practicing the Vajra Divine Kungfu. Because Shenshu itself is a master of Vajra Divine Art.

His blood essence fits perfectly with the Vajra Divine Kungfu. As long as Xu Qian absorbs the blood essence while practicing this skill, he can elevate the state of the Vajra Divine Kungfu.

Li Miaozhen hummed, and turned her head away.

After drawing the sword, part of the anger in her heart dissipated, and she was not as uncomfortable as before. At the same time, Xu Qi'an's "threat" made her hesitate.

If Xu Qi'an's identity is announced, her words and deeds in Yunzhou back then will also be announced in the Tiandihui.

She understood the reason why Xu Qi'an insisted on concealing her identity.

Back then, he boasted a hundred times more than her. If this was made public, he would be unable to be a human being.

"If Miaozhen doesn't want to stay in the inn, you can stay at Xu Qi'an's mansion, No. 5 is also there. Xu's mansion is in the inner city, it's a three-entry mansion, it's very grand." Daoist Jin Lian said.

you come again? When did my house become a shelter for orphans of the Tiandihui? Xu Qi'an's mouth twitched.

Susu's eyes lit up. Compared to staying in a hotel, living in the compound is of course more comfortable. Moreover, she also wanted to hook up with this man at night and ask him to take her to Si Tianjian.

Li Miaozhen thought of the headless corpse. She was worried that her ability to solve the case was limited. If it was handed over to the Yamen, her court's trust crisis made her resist from the bottom of her heart.

I'm afraid that those guys who eat vegetarian meals will not pay attention.

It happened that this matter could be handed over to Xu Qi'an, and he could also learn some useful crime-solving skills from him.

Therefore, Li Miaozhen nodded and said, "Okay, I also want to meet No. 5. She must have suffered a lot during the journey northward, traveling thousands of miles."

I always feel that Daoist Jin Lian still has something to say to me. Xu Qi'an was keenly aware of the eyes that Daoist Jin Lian was looking at him frequently. He remained calm and even smiled:

"General Li, come back home with me?"

Daoist Jin Lian watched the two and one ghost leave, and pondered: "When the battle between heaven and man is over, I will leave the capital. Before that, I have to find a way to disrupt this battle."

"Miaozhen"

On the horse's back, Xu Qi'an just opened his mouth, but was corrected by Li Miaozhen, the saint of Tianzong snorted: "You should call me General Li."

"That's a lot of birth, we are so familiar." Xu Qi'an said with a cheeky smile: "I have a doubt about the dispute between heaven and man."

Li Miaozhen looked ahead and followed the little mare in a leisurely manner, ignoring his question.

She was still angry in her heart, and she didn't want to talk to me. Xu Qi'an's thoughts changed, and he said in a casual tone:

"We probably haven't talked about how we searched for No. 5 in Xiangcheng that day."

Hearing this, Li Miaozhen turned her head and looked over, gritted her teeth and said, "The Taoist priest has been blocking my fragments of the book from the ground. I should have thought of it earlier. He is trying to cover up the news of your resurrection."

Daoist Jin Lian helped Xu Qi'an "deceive" her, and Li Miaozhen is still brooding about it.

"These are not important. The important thing is that the tomb we found is unimaginably old. It is the tomb of a senior Taoist. It is very likely that it is a Taoist from Renzong." Xu Qi'an threw out the bait.

"Renzong?"

Li Miaozhen looked at him with curiosity in his eyes.

"Yes, it's the Daoist Renzong who usurped the throne." Xu Qi'an's smile became more and more intense.

Immediately, he told Li Miaozhen all about his experience in the tomb, just like telling a story, full of hype. This does not include the question and answer of the monk Shenshu and the mummy.

Li Miaozhen listened with gusto, no longer had a cold attitude, and started discussing with him quite enthusiastically.

"This reminds me of what my master said before. He said that among the three sects of "Heaven, Earth and Man", the Ren sect is the most stupid. Because they take the initiative to draw closer to the fate of the world. The earth sect is second. , There are causes and effects, how can the three words "doing good deeds" can explain everything. Therefore, people of the Dizong, at the second rank, are often entangled in cause and effect, and easily fall into the devil's way."

The Daozong of the Dizong is an example. Why is the Renzong who takes the initiative to approach the luck of the world the most stupid? The luck in the world can't be touched or what's the matter, so that senior of the Renzong finally lost his old body? Xu Qi'an nodded:

"What about Zong that day?"

"Tianzong is naturally the way to go, too forgetful, the unity of heaven and man, this is the way of heaven." Li Miaozhen raised her sharp chin.

"Tianzong pays attention to the forgetfulness of feelings, and the highest state is the unity of heaven and man. According to this philosophy, shouldn't we be indifferent to everything. Why are you so obsessed with the struggle between heaven and man, and so obsessed with orthodoxy?"

Xu Qi'an took advantage of the situation and asked his doubts just now.

Li Miaozhen looked at him in surprise, "It's rare for you to think of this."

After a pause, she shook her head and said, "I don't know. As you said, being so obsessed with fighting does not conform to the philosophy of Tianzong. But I asked about the reason why there are teachers, but I didn't get an answer."

In other words, the struggle between heaven and man is apparently a battle of ideas and orthodoxies, but in fact there is a deeper reason behind it. And for this reason, as the saint of Tianzong, she didn't know that the water in Taoist sect was very deep.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Xu Mansion.

Susu followed Xu Qi'an, looked left and right, and was very satisfied with the layout and layout of Xu's mansion: "Not bad, living in such a big house in the capital, did you embezzle a lot of money?"

"That's right, so as long as you follow me, you will definitely have a good meal in the future." Xu Qi'an teased casually.

Walking to the inner courtyard, they saw Lina and Xu Lingyin sitting on the threshold with a plate of horseshoe cake on their knees.

Lina said angrily: "Zamabu, you can't eat cakes without Zamabu."

Xiao Douding replied, "I'm tired. I'll share half of the horseshoe cake with you, so I'll tie half of the horseshoe cake today, okay?"

Lina: "Okay, okay."

"Cauldron!"

Seeing Xu Qi'an coming back, Xiao Douding yelled in surprise, with his short legs, a dragon rushed into Xu Qi'an's arms.

"Is she No. 5?" Li Miaozhen looked at Lina.

A very beautiful young girl with black hair in a shawl, slightly curled at the end, healthy wheat-colored skin, and clear and clean eyes like the blue sea.

Lina also noticed Li Miaozhen, but she didn't speak, and looked at her silently.

Xu Qi'an beckoned and said, "Lina, she is number two, Li Miaozhen, the Saintess of the Heavenly Sect."

When Lina heard this, a warm smile appeared on her face, and she bounced over with a horseshoe cake in her hand.

"Ah, are you number two eating horseshoe cake?"

Sure enough, Li Miaozhen, who was not very smart, shook her head and asked, "It's a long journey from southern Xinjiang to the capital, so I have suffered a lot."

"Uh-huh."

Lina nodded vigorously, and talked about her arduous journey of drifting north, being cheated of money, being tricked into working as a coolie, and working hard for a meal.

She was also attacked by Jianghu people who coveted her beauty with a lot of mist. Fortunately, she is a member of the Gu tribe and has been to Jiyuan, so ordinary poisons will not work on her.

She thinks that the easiest and most enjoyable job is to be a beggar, who does nothing but sits on the street with a broken bowl, and kind people will reward you with copper coins.

Li Miaozhen was speechless for a long time after listening.

"Sister, you are so beautiful."

Xiao Douding walked up to Susu, looked up at her with envy.

Susu felt that the child was dumb and playful, so she made a hideous look and grinned: "I'm a ghost."

Xiao Douding was stunned, staring at her in a daze, and suddenly, with a "grunt", swallowed.

Susu: "???"

Li Miaozhen was filled with sympathy and pity, she said a few words to comfort Lina, then turned to look at Xu Qi'an: "On the way to the capital, I found a corpse, he seemed to have been silenced.

"I summoned the remnant soul to inquire, and found a big thing."

event?

Xu Qi'an frowned, and said, "Go to the study and talk."

Immediately carrying Li Miaozhen to the study, Susu followed behind the two with a red umbrella, and after walking a certain distance, she looked back.

Xiao Douding was still looking at her, his eyes were full of longing and aggression.

PS: These few days are short and there is no status. The detailed outline has to be considered slowly. It is impossible to finish the follow-up content of hundreds of thousands of words in one day.
