Nightwatcher

Xu Qi'an put on his robe, climbed up alone, and came to the Eight Diagrams Platform.

The autumn wind is bleak, like a pair of thin knives, piercing the skin.

He saw the back of the patron saint of Dafeng again, and it was different from before sitting leisurely in the case before. This time, the supervisor stood on the edge of the gossip table with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction of the palace. .

"What is your "meaning"?" Jian Zheng asked.

"Jade pieces!"

Xu Qi'an answered directly.

"Jade pieces."

Jianzheng chewed these two words slowly, nodded with a smile: "It is in line with the characteristics of heaven and earth, and it is not in vain for me to send this unique knowledge to you."

You old silver coin. Xu Qi'an had already guessed this matter, but it was the first time that he was admitted by the supervisor.

Jianzheng said again: "Do you know the origin of "Sword of Heaven and Earth"?"

Xu Qi'an shook his head.

"He came from a first-rank martial artist who tried to break through the cage of heaven and earth with the sword in his hand, and then he fell." The prisoner said with a smile.

That means that he used the wrong weapon and replaced it with an axe. He might succeed. Even in such a bad situation, Xu Qi'an still couldn't help complaining in his heart.

"What's the name of a first-rank martial artist?" He took the opportunity to add knowledge and asked out of curiosity in his heart.

The supervisor shook his head: "When the Confucian saints divided the realms and divided the major systems into nine ranks, there was only a blank space for the first-rank martial arts, and no name was given. Interestingly, the super-rank of the martial arts system, the Confucian saint named it Martial God .

"What's more interesting is that, from the age of gods and demons, although first-grade warriors are rare, there will always be one or two in the long history of hundreds of thousands of years. Only the god of war has never appeared."

This is indeed somewhat interesting. For grades that have appeared, Confucian saints are left blank, but for grades that have not appeared, Confucian saints are named "Warrior God". A series of question marks flashed in Xu Qi'an's mind.

At the same time, he thought about the reason why the supervisor gave him "Sword of Heaven and Earth" as a gift, and he couldn't expect him to open the cage of heaven and earth with one knife.

I'm not Pangu, he murmured in his heart, and said, "Can you tell me about Joan of Arc? I'm curious."

"What are you talking about him, it's a disappointment!"

The prisoner shook his head, his tone was like a passer-by stepped on a pile of dog shit on the street, and yelled: Damn it!

Then walk away disgusted.

Jian Zheng waved his hand, and a milky white pill floated in front of Xu Qi'an: "After eating this pill, your injury will heal soon."

Xu Qi'an took the pill and swallowed it, walked a few steps forward, and said, "Jianzheng, I only have one request for you."

Yunlu Academy.

The clear light flickered, and a figure in white brought Xu Qi'an to the foot of the mountain. The figure in white faced the stone steps, with the back of his head pointing at Xu Qi'an.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yang."

Xu Qi'an expressed his sincere thanks to the king, and said: "Please go to Goulan for a drink when you are free."

"No need!"

Yang Qianhuan snorted coldly, and disappeared in a flash.

After a while, he flashed back again, staring at Xu Qi'an with scorching eyes: "If you can find a terminally ill Jiaofang Sihua Kui, I can consider it."

Why is it that Xu Qi'an, the oiran of the teaching workshop who is dying of illness, can't understand for a moment that Senior Brother Yang has such a weird sexual habit?

He likes to give needles to girls?

Yang Qian fancied that he would not speak, so he assumed that he agreed, and tilted his head back twice to express his nod, then disappeared again.

"Senior Brother Yang is always weird, and his brain circuit is different from that of ordinary people." Xu Qi'an muttered.

After thinking about a certain alchemist who was thinking about doing things every day, a certain trembling poor thing, a certain gourmet, he suddenly felt at peace.

Xu Qi'an raised his head, glanced at the top of the mountain, and climbed slowly.

He had just arrived halfway up the mountain, when he turned his head, he saw an old Confucian scholar with disheveled gray hair and a faded Confucian shirt sitting in a gazebo beside the stone steps.

Dean Zhao Shou.

"You are here!" Zhao Shou said with a smile.

Xu Qi'an didn't answer, sat down by the gazebo, thought for a while, and asked, "Does the dean know about the late Emperor Joan of Arc?"

Zhao Shou was silent for a long time, "Wei Yuan mentioned this to me before the expedition, and he was not sure at that time."

Wei Gong really knew about this, even if there is no evidence, there is no lack of corresponding guesses, and even so, he still insisted on attacking the main altar and sealing the witch god.

He said in the letter that this matter involves a certain secret above the super product.

Xu Qi'an pondered: "Why did Duke Wei seal the witch god?"

Zhao Shou didn't answer him directly, "Have you ever heard of the legends about the Gu gods circulating among the Gu clan in Southern Border?"

Xu Qi'an frowned, and what Lina said immediately came to mind:

The prophet of the Heavenly Gu Department predicted that the Gu God would recover sooner or later, and at that time, it would bring unimaginable disasters to the world of Kyushu, and the entire Kyushu would become a world of Gu.

Xu Qi'an was shocked. Now that he knew that the witch god was also sealed by Confucian saints, and the Gu god was also sealed by Confucian saints, so according to the legend of Gu gods, if the witch god unsealed it, would it bring similar disasters?

Is this why Duke Wei wanted to seal the witch god even if he risked his life? Xu Qi'an took a deep breath and asked:

"How much do you know about Joan of Arc?"

"I lived in seclusion in Qingyun Mountain for many years, and I don't know much about the late emperor. Although Wei Yuan realized that Joan of Arc might still be alive, he hadn't had time to investigate yet." Zhao Shou paused, then analyzed:

"But based on his behavior, we can guess his purpose to a certain extent."

Xu Qi'an waved his hand:

"My understanding of him may be deeper than yours. All of Joan's goals are to live forever, no, it should be to be a long-lived emperor.

"Duke Wei once told me that war will shake luck and affect the foundation of the country. The more battles are lost, the worse the luck will be, until the country is subjugated."

The reason is not difficult to understand. The country has been losing battles, people have been dying, and its territory has been invaded. Over time, of course, the country will perish.

Zhao Shou nodded, and took over the topic: "So Joan of Arc colluded with the Sorcerer God Cult to kill Wei Yuan, and tried to annihilate the 100,000 army in order to wipe out Dafeng's luck.

"The armies of the Yankang and Kang Dynasties attacked Yuyang Pass unreasonably, also in order to slaughter Xiangzhou, Jingzhou and Yuzhou, and wipe out the great luck.

"Now, he doesn't want to give Wei Yuan a posthumous name, and his real purpose is not just a posthumous name. He wants to use this to characterize the war as a disastrous defeat. In this battle, Dafeng lost, and the 100,000 army was almost the entire army. Annihilation. As long as it is announced to the world, the people will believe it, which is also a kind of shake to the destiny of the country."

Xu Qi'an nodded, this is not difficult to understand.

He looked at the cynical dean and frowned: "I have a doubt, but before that, I have to ask a question, whether weakening the luck to a certain level can offset the "adding luck to the body, you can't live forever" The law of heaven and earth?"

"I understand what you want to say. If it is only a small amount of luck, it will not be imprisoned by the rules of heaven and earth. But Joan of Arc can't do it. Unless he destroys the country, he is still the king of a country, so his lifespan must be There will be an end, and it will not live longer than ordinary people."

Zhao Shou replied in a quite determined tone.

That's it, then my conjecture of infinitely weakening luck and breaking the rules of heaven and earth is not valid. Xu Qi'an frowned and said:

"Since that's the case, what exactly is he trying to do? Well, members of the royal family all have good luck, and Joan of Arc, as the emperor, has the most prosperous luck. He wants to subjugate the country and exterminate the species, so as to get rid of the shackles of luck?

"But this contradicts the desire and nostalgia for power shown by Emperor Yuan Jing."

The two immediately fell silent and did not speak again.

A few minutes later, Zhao Shou said, "I probably have a guess."

Xu Qi'an immediately sat up straight and put on a posture of listening to the lecture: "Speak."

Zhao Shou said slowly: "Joan of Arc and the Sorcerer Sect joined forces to destroy 100,000 troops and kill Wei Yuan. The former is to wipe out Dafeng's luck, and the latter is to keep the Sorcerer God. Both parties get what they need in this cooperation.

"Then, the Sorcerer Sect later sent troops to attack Yuyang Pass with a very urgent attitude. What was the reason for this? If it was only for revenge, given the current tragic situation of the Sorcerer Sect, a truce would be the most sensible choice.

"Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Retaliation can be done at any time. There is no need to be so desperate. If it is for an ally or a promise, hehe, there are only interests between the two countries and no relationship."

Xu Qi'an's eyes lit up, and he vaguely grasped something: "There must be a temptation that the Witch God Sect cannot refuse."

Zhao Shou showed a childish look, and continued:

"According to what you said, the purpose of Joan of Arc is to become the emperor who will live forever. Then, what is the way to make him become the emperor and live forever? Let's put it another way, and you may be able to understand.

"You understand the ruling structure of the Three Kingdoms affiliated to the Witch God Sect."

It was the capital where theocracy was above the imperial power. Of course Xu Qi'an knew, and replied:

"Their monarch controls the military power, and the courtiers control the political power. On top of the two, there is a third-grade psychic master who maintains the balance, but usually does not interfere in military and political affairs."

Zhao Shou got up, walked out of the gazebo, looked northeast, and said quietly: "The kings of the Three Kingdoms are actually vassal kings, and the real center is Jingshan City. The real emperor should be the great wizard Salun Agu.

"However, Sarun Agu has lived for thousands of years."

boom!

It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck Xu Qi'an's mind, making him dumbfounded and trembling all over.

Salun Agu is a great wizard and the supreme leader of Jingshan City. After the witch god has been sealed for more than a thousand years, he is the real talker of the witch god religion, and his status is equivalent to the emperor of the Central Plains court.

However, Salun Agu is a master of the first rank who has survived from ancient times to the present.

"The dean means that Joan of Arc wants to emulate Saleen Agu, no, to become the second Saleen Agu?"

The shock in Xu Qi'an's eyes gradually subsided, and his tone became calm:

"Yes, as long as Dafeng is turned into a vassal state of the Witch God, he can become the second Salun Agu. Salun Agu is in charge of the three northeast countries, and Joan of Arc can manage the thirteen continents of the Central Plains.

"He is still the emperor, the only difference is that there is an extra witch god on top of his head. But the witch god has been sealed, and no one can check and balance him. Even if the witch god breaks the seal, that super wizard can let Salun Agu manage the Northeast. Jeanne will be in charge of the Central Plains.

"Joan of Arc's cultivation is at least the second rank. Such a master is given the greatest respect by the Witch God Church. For the Witch God Cult, turning Dafeng into their vassal state is something promised by the founding emperor of Dafeng. dream thing.

"So they are eager to attack Yuyang Pass, cooperate with Joan Deli, and shake the luck of the Great Feng. In this way, the behavior of Joan of Arc and the Witch God Cult has a perfect explanation. They want to turn the Central Plains into a vassal state of the Witch God Cult, I can understand that we must first weaken the Great Feng Qi Luck, but, but how does it work?

"Fat luck is mysterious and mysterious, but the outstanding people in the Central Plains are real existences. If the people disagree, they will definitely rise up, regardless of whether you are a witch or a Buddhist. But maybe this is what the witch wants to see?"

While chattering nervously, he looked at Zhao Shou and asked for his opinion.

"Our guess is the same. As for how to turn the Central Plains into a vassal state of the Witch God Cult, this may be another secret of Chaopin. I don't know. At least the Confucian saints didn't leave a word, and we can only explore by ourselves." Zhao Shou Shen said.

"How did the witch god gather the luck of the Three Kingdoms in the Northeast and live forever?" Xu Qi'an frowned.

"No one has ever said, and there is no written record, that the witch gods have condensed the luck of the three countries in the Northeast. Maybe Jianzheng should be able to answer this question for you. The practice of warlocks is related to luck. Jianzheng has lived for five hundred years, and the warlock system Embodied and a wizard."

Zhao Shou replied like this.

So super wizards, like warlocks, can play with luck? Xu Qi'an was silent for a moment, staring at the cynical headmaster:

"I came this time to take away what Duke Wei left for me."

Zhao Shou didn't nod, but looked at him: "Have you decided?"

Xu Qi'an nodded slowly: "I didn't understand why Jianzheng was always on the sidelines. He was obviously capable, but he didn't do anything. Especially after knowing the existence of Jeanne, I couldn't understand it, and even felt resentful towards him.

"After Duke Wei's death, I was like a man in a desperate situation. There was no way I could retreat. During that time, I thought about a lot of things and reviewed a lot of details. Suddenly, I realized that the answer had been given to me long ago, but I just didn't wake up."

As he said that, he looked towards a certain place on the top of Qingyun Mountain, and said with emotion: "Dr. Qian Zhong has already told me the answer."

Only luck can defeat luck.

The practice of Confucianism is related to luck. The second-grade Confucianist brought people's grievances and smashed the dragon veins of the Great Zhou. The country perished, and so did the people.

Just as the prisoner was about to kill Joan of Arc, it was like a coin hitting a dragon's pulse.

Both jade and stone are burned.

Zhao Shou's sleeves slowly swept across the stone table in the gazebo, and there was a brocade box on the stone table.

"This is what Wei Yuan gave you." Zhao Shou laughed.

PS: Before twelve o'clock, the achievement of 15,000 words was achieved.
