Nightwatcher

The moment Xu Qi'an saw a figure in white standing in the darkness, Xu Qi'an's heart seemed to miss a few beats, his scalp went numb instantly, and every goosebump on his body stood out.

This was not only because of being frightened by outsiders watching while doing private things, but also because after Xu Pingfeng's surprise attack, Xu Qi'an developed a very terrible stress disorder when he suddenly appeared and had no psychological defense against the white-clothed man.

He combined the saliva with the ability of the poisonous Gu, and spit out a pitch-black venom that corrodes all things from his mouth. .

Then, he fell on Mu Nanzhi's plump and soft body, trying to jump with her shadow.

The warlock in white tilted his head, avoiding the spray of venom, and said "don't" eagerly.

Um?

Xu Qi'an froze for a moment, the voice was inexplicably familiar, and it wasn't Xu Pingfeng's voice, he stopped the shadow jump.

"ah!!"

Mu Nanzhi's screams echoed in the room, she still didn't notice the white-clothed warlock, but she thought that Xu Qi'an was going to use violence against her.

The concubine was covered with a quilt, and her body was pressed by him, like a natural restraint, making her unable to push and resist, so she could only twist her body constantly, like a plump and plump maggot.

As the saying goes, no matter how good a sharpshooter is, he can't hit a high-speed moving object.

At this time, she heard Xu Qi'an's voice ringing in her ears: "Are you Second Senior Brother Sun Xuanji?"

Mu Nanzhi suddenly calmed down, raised her head, and looked towards the bedside. Sure enough, there was a figure in white standing by the bedside, with blurred facial features in the darkness.

The warlock in white looked down at the men and women on the bed, and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid."

Afraid? What is he afraid of, what is he afraid of. The same doubts flashed in Xu Qi'an and Mu Nanzhi's minds.

Wait, he said a word just now, it seemed to be "don't", Xu Qi'an seemed to understand something.

"He is Jianzheng's second disciple, Senior Brother Sun Xuanji."

Xu Qi'an lowered his head, stared at Mu Nanzhi's beautiful dark eyes, and explained.

Immediately, he got up from the princess's soft and plump body, put on his robe, walked to the table, and lit a candle.

The fire-colored halo dispelled the darkness, bringing a dim yellow light.

Xu Qi'an looked at the second senior brother who had never met before by candlelight. He was about 1.7 meters tall, very ordinary. The facial features are correct, but it has nothing to do with the word "handsome", and it is also very ordinary.

Among Jianzheng's disciples, this second senior brother is the most ordinary. Even if it is forcing Wang Yang Qian to make illusions. Oh, Xu Qi'an has never seen what he looks like.

But Song Qing, a mad alchemist, is actually quite a handsome man.

As for Chu Caiwei and Zhong Li, the former is a lively and cute girl with big eyes, while the latter is scruffy, but occasionally reveals the "tip of the iceberg" facial features, so it can be concluded that she is an excellent beauty.

The concubine curled up under the thick quilt, with only half of her head sticking out. With bright and agile eyes, she quietly watched the two of them, mainly sizing up Sun Xuanji.

Sun Xuanji said: "Teacher, tell me to come and find you."

After this sentence was finished, a quarter of an hour passed.

The princess fell asleep again, snoring lightly.

Xu Qi'an looked blankly at the white-clothed warlock: "Senior Brother Sun, is this?"

Is this a language barrier?

Sun Xuanji nodded solemnly, and explained: "I, no"

Xu Qi'an quickly interrupted: "It's okay, no need to explain."

After you finish explaining, another quarter of an hour will come and go. He cursed in his heart.

"The prison is asking you to come find me?"

Xu Qi'an opened the upside-down teacup, poured two cups of hot tea, and said with a frown, "Does the old man have any orders? Well, if possible, please speak quickly."

"Teacher", "Say", "Futu Treasure", "The pagoda is open." "...Already"

"He wishes" "You can." "Go."

Sun Xuanji finished speaking.

The tea in Xu Qi'an's hand was completely cold.

Mu Nanzhi turned over and whispered a few words, sleeping soundly.

I really want to hit him, otherwise my heart will be hard to calm down. Xu Qi'an's face twitched violently, and he felt a burst of uncontrollable agitation in his heart, wanting to beat his chest and growl.

Listening patiently to what the second senior brother had to say was a painful thing, no less than scratching a blackboard with fingernails, or rubbing two pieces of foam against each other.

If Brother Chun was here, he would either draw his sword and chop people up, or commit seppuku. Xu Qi'an thought painfully.

Sun Xuanji took a deep breath and continued, "Master, Master."

"Wait a moment!"

Xu Qi'an interrupted, poured water and rubbed the ink as quickly as possible, spread out the paper, grabbed the brush and dipped it on the inkstone, offered it with both hands, and said sincerely:

"Second brother, if we can do it, don't beep, okay?"

Sun Xuanji frowned slightly, seeming to prefer verbal communication, took the pen reluctantly, and sat down at the desk to write.

Phew. Xu Qi'an breathed out, this smooth writing rhythm, this unsteady brushwork, this quiet burning candle... The world is really beautiful.

As expected, none of Jianzheng's disciples was a normal person. Compared to Wang Yang Qianhuan, the alchemist madman Song Qing, unhappy Zhong Li, and mindless Chu Caiwei, this Sun Xuanji was the scariest person.

Second only to Xu Pingfeng, the son of inappropriate.

"Second senior brother, you want to come over, why didn't you say hello in advance?" Xu Qi'an complained.

If the birdman doesn't come, he may be able to make the princess understand how to write "M" and "one" by himself.

"I, said, yes, but, you"

Not long after, Sun Xuanji finished writing, but he hadn't finished speaking.

Looking at Xu Qi'an, he said, "No, take care, me."

"."

Xu Qi'an arched his hands towards him, took the paper and read it.

He looked more and more serious, mixed with excitement.

The Buddha Pagoda is the treasure of Buddhism, which is specially used to suppress and refine demons. Five hundred years ago, Buddhism preached in the Central Plains and brought two divine arms.

The right hand is suppressed in Sangbo, and the left hand is suppressed in the pagoda of Sanhua Temple in Leizhou.

Two hundred years ago, Dafeng "betrayed his faith" and implemented the policy of exterminating Buddhism, driving Buddhism back to the Western Regions, leaving only a few Buddhist temples in the Central Plains to survive.

Sanhua Temple, like the Qinglong Temple in the capital, was not completely evacuated, leaving behind the orthodoxy.

The task of Qinglong Temple is to stare at the sealed artifact under Sangbo.

The same is true for Sanhua Temple.

As for why Buddhism didn't bring the Buddha Pagoda back to the Western Regions, Sun Xuanji explained that the seal of Sanhua Temple in Leizhou was exactly the same as the seal under Sangbo, and the supervisor helped to arrange the formation.

When Fomen and Dafeng brothers are good, this will not be a problem. Once the plastic brotherhood breaks down, the formation of supervision will become an obstacle instead.

In addition, the Buddhist sect sent Shenshu's remnant body to the Dafeng seal at the beginning because they were unable to seal this part of the remnant body.

"The severed arm sealed in the pagoda must also have a remnant soul. When the two remnants are combined, Shenshu can remember more things."

Xu Qi'an suppressed his excitement and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about this in advance?"

Sun Xuanji wrote: "The teacher is a chess player."

This means that I am not qualified to know the news in advance as a pawn? Xu Qi'an cursed in his heart.

"I heard that the Witch God Sect also sent people to Leizhou."

Sun Xuanji frowned, showing a sudden look, and wrote with a pen:

"There are two ways to open the Buddha Pagoda: one, the Buddhist gate and the teacher work together to open it; two, one Jiazi opens it once by itself. The time limit for the latter's opening is approaching."

Xu Qi'an suddenly understood:

"The second-grade Rain Master was sent to the Buddha Pagoda back then. Was it the joint efforts of Jianzheng and Buddhism?"

Well, the relationship between Buddhism and Dafeng during the Battle of Shanhaiguan was quite solid.

Sun Xuanji wrote: "I don't know very well, I was still a teenager at that time. You have to do two things, prevent the Witch God Cult from rescuing Nalan Tianlu's soul, and bring out the broken arm of Shenshu. I will help you."

"Why didn't Jianzheng himself make a move?"

"When the formation was arranged back then, the teacher and the Buddhist sect made an oath based on the way of heaven. You can't do anything to break the seal."

"understand."

Xu Qi'an laughed, although the Dongfang sisters are the pinnacle of the fourth rank, but Sun Xuanji is a third rank celestial master, and with his support, it is easy to deal with them.

Well, maybe there are still masters from Sanhua Temple, but it shouldn't be a big problem.

This progress is okay, the materials, dragon energy, and the severed arm of God are methodically collecting the magic conch given to me by the supervisor that day. I thought he wanted Sun Xuanji to help me search for the dragon energy, but I didn't expect the foreshadowing to be here.

Sun Xuanji glanced at him with a serious face, and wrote:

"Don't take it lightly. After Wei Yuan captured Jingshan City, the Witch God Sect was seriously injured, so they took the risk and aimed at the Buddha Pagoda. They are very likely to send a Linghui master to take action."

Master Linghui, Xu Qi'an's pupils shrank slightly.

Before he could speak, Sun Xuanji wrote again:

"A few days ago, I went to Leizhou and observed a Dharma Protector King Kong with the Qi Watching Technique."

Xu Qi'an opened his mouth wide: "Sanhua Temple is guarded by King Kong?"

Then how to play?

Sun Xuanji shook his head and picked up a pen to write: "After the Buddha was exterminated, all Buddhist disciples above the fourth grade left the Central Plains. There is no Vajra in Sanhua Temple. The reason why there is this Vajra, I guess, is for the spirit of the dragon vein. "

Xu Qi'an's heart sank because of the spirit of the dragon veins. This is not good news, which means that if he continues to collect dragon energy, he is destined to encounter this king kong.

"Buddhism, what are you collecting dragon energy for?" Xu Qi'an's face was not very good-looking.

"If you lose the Dragon Qi, the Central Plains will be in chaos. If you get the Dragon Qi, you will have the possibility to rule the Central Plains. In this respect, there is no difference between Buddhism and the Witch God Sect."

Sun Xuanji glanced at him, and continued to write: "There is a dragon aura attached to the pagoda, and it is one of the nine vital dragon auras."

a bolt from the blue!

Xu Qi'an's face was suddenly dull, his mouth was slightly opened, and he looked at Sun Xuanji blankly.

The latter looked at him calmly.

This is unavoidable. If the Buddha Pagoda only has Shenshu's severed arm, I can still drag it. I can collect dragon energy first or find other ways to remnant the body.

But now one of the nine dragon spirits is attached to the Sanhua Temple, attracting a third-grade Vajra, coupled with Shenshu's broken arm, to me, this is an irresolvable contradiction.

Maybe, negotiable?

Didn't Buddhism want to invite me to the Western Regions to be a disciple of the Buddha?

No, you can't think like this, the four elements are empty, life is better than death.

Why does Buddhism collect dragon energy? Also have the idea of ​​encroaching on the Central Plains? It may also be that they want to use the dragon energy to coerce them to preach the Central Plains again. But the possibility is unlikely, Buddhism has already suffered in this regard, and will not repeat the same mistakes Xu Qi'an pinched his brows.

In the middle of the night, he felt a bit of coolness.

"Dharma Guardian King Kong and Linghui Master are both third-rank, what should I do? Maybe I can do it in my prime." Xu Qi'an asked with a frown.

"Above the fourth rank, you can't enter the Pagoda of the Buddha. This is due to the prohibition of the magic weapon itself, and the suppression of the teacher's formation. Otherwise, the nine-tailed fox has already broken into the pagoda, bringing out the magical broken arm."

Sun Xuanji wrote.

Staring at the paper, Xu Qi'an's eyes slowly lit up, shining with hope.

Suddenly, many ideas flashed through his mind, but they were too scattered and trivial to piece together into a feasible plan.

"In this case, I have a lot of room to maneuver, and I have to spend some time making plans."

Xu Qi'an took a sip of ice-cold tea and said, "Is there anything else?"

Sun Xuanji wrote: "I need to make some preparations. You will set off for Leizhou tomorrow. At that time, I will contact you with Faluo to make a plan. I can't enter the pagoda, but I can help calm the pressure from the outside world."

Xu Qi'an nodded: "Can you bring Senior Brother Yang too? He will definitely like this kind of occasion."

Sun Xuanji's face suddenly turned strange, and he wrote: "Junior brother Yang was suppressed by the teacher again."

"Why use the word "again"?"

"Not long after you left the capital, he came out of the ground to investigate the prince secretly."

"Investigate the prince?"

"According to him, evidence of the crown prince's corruption, bribery, collusion with court ministers, and abuse of court ladies has been collected. Just wait for the crown prince to ascend the throne."

In the room, there was a dead silence for a moment, only the sound of Mu Nanzhi's gentle breathing.

After a long time, Xu Qi'an looked sincere and said:

"Say hello to the prisoner for me, and tell him to pay attention to his body. Open-mindedness is the secret of longevity."

Sun Xuanji let out a "hmm".

He got up and was about to teleport away, Xu Qi'an quickly added: "Remember to write the above words on paper."

Don't rub salt in the wounds of prisons.

Sun Xuanji glanced at him, and the pattern under his feet flickered and disappeared.

Xu Qi'an waited for a while, making sure that he would not come back, then blew out the candle, shrank into the bed, and fell asleep.

The next day, early morning.

Xu Qi'an and Mu Nanzhi got up to wash up, and came to the inn lobby to have breakfast, and happened to see Li Lingsu, who was dressed in a luxurious black robe, returning to the inn.

He was carrying a large package of medicinal materials in his hand, wrapped in butter paper.

Li Lingsu quietly hid the package behind her back, showing a good-looking smile: "Good morning, both of you."

Princess Mu ignored him and lowered her head to drink the porridge.

Xu Qi'an took a breath, and said lightly: "Antler, Cynomorium, Huang Jing, Fire Grass Root, Black Sesame"

They are all medicinal materials for strengthening yang and tonifying kidney.

Mu Nanzhi raised her head and looked at Li Lingsu in surprise.

The son of Tianzong blushed, looked around with a guilty conscience, and said anxiously: "You, don't say it."

Seeing that there were not many diners in the lobby, and neither the shopkeeper nor the waiter heard, he heaved a sigh of relief, sat down at the table, and said in a deep voice:

"I have to explain, it's not that I am an overindulgent son, it's Sister Qing and Sister Rong who demand too much."

Having said that, the Holy Son showed a sad expression:

"They have to have sex with me every day, taking turns to fight, and they don't allow me to rest for a day. The purpose of their doing this is to prevent me from having the energy to hook up with the pretty maids around me."

Shengzi felt sad: "I never took the initiative to collude with the maid, it was all the maid who seduced me, my damn charm"

Xu Qi'an said expressionlessly: "Go up, we'll set off in a quarter of an hour."

When Li Lingsu returned to the room, Xu Qi'an threw away the porcelain spoon and said angrily, "It's tasteless."

The princess lay on the table, covering her stomach with one hand, and burst into tears from laughter.

A quarter of an hour later, the three of them left the town on horseback. Li Lingsu chewed on the yang-strengthening medicine and said loudly:

"Senior, where are we going?"

Xu Qi'an looked into the distance, and said in a deep voice, "All the way to the west."
