Nightwatcher

Ji Xuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head:

"We continue to collect scattered dragon energy, and the great host will let Canglong Qisu surrender.

"Hehe, we can't judge Xu Qi'an's whereabouts now, it would be bad if we meet him in Yuzhou. Just as we didn't expect to meet him in Yongzhou...

"And if Canglong Qisu, the real third-rank combat power, will definitely be easier to deal with than us.

"Even if it's not Xu Qi'an's opponent, it's always no problem to escape."

Everyone heard the words and nodded silently.

Liu Hongmian and Qihuan Danxiang let out a breath, and their tense expressions relaxed a lot.

After breakfast, Ji Xuan and his party returned to their temporary residence. It was an abandoned yard in a slum area. There are many empty yards like this in small counties.

Their owners may have defected to relatives due to poverty and famine.

It is also possible that the whole family did not survive the death of a burglar in a house robbery.

Along the way, Ji Xuan and the others were used to seeing depression and poverty, and seeing bones in the snow.

In the simple room, Ji Xuan sat at the table, looking intently at the box in his hand.

The rosewood box was opened, and the formation engraved on it dispersed, and inside was a bead shimmering with scarlet light.

As big as a pigeon egg.

It condenses the blood essence of an extraordinary martial artist.

Ji Xuan stared at it for a few seconds, his eyes were a little distracted, and his thoughts drifted to the distance.

Boom!

At this time, the door knocked.

Ji Xuan's pupils contracted, and the aura recovered from the slack state, snapped, closed the box, and put it in his arms, with a smile on his face:

"come in."

Xu Yuanshuang pushed open the door, glanced at the simple room and the almost non-existent furnishings: "Seventh brother."

Behind her were Qihuan Danxiang, Baihu, Liu Hongmian, and Xu Yuanhuai.

Ji Xuan glanced at them and said with a smile, "Is there something you want to tell me?"

Xu Yuanshuang nodded:

"I really want to discuss with Seventh Brother."

"After the first battle in Yongzhou, Daoist Jiaoye died. Liu Hongmian and the others were all terrified by Xu Qi'an. Even Yuan Huai, who was the most unconvinced, lost his confidence."

Liu Hongmian said "Oh" and said softly, "She's just a girl, so Xu Qi'an is fierce and domineering, so it's reasonable to be afraid."

The proud Xu Yuanhuai curled his lips, but he couldn't refute his sister's words.

As for that big brother, he was powerless besides being powerless.

Ji Xuan was silent for a moment, then said: "Then?"

The white tiger with the broken arm said "Hey":

"During this period of time, after thinking about it, it is actually not necessary to collect dragon energy. It doesn't matter whether we can get dragon energy or not.

"The most important thing is to prevent Xu Qi'an from harvesting the Dragon Qi. If the Dragon Qi doesn't return to its place for a day, the Dafeng will become more chaotic, and the city lord and the national teacher can only succeed in rebelling."

Ji Xuan nodded slowly.

For them, as long as the opponent's situation is bad enough, the goal is achieved.

Dragon Qi can increase their bargaining chips, but it doesn't have to be Dragon Qi.

Xu Yuanshuang went on to say:

"Since this is the case, why should we fight alone?

"Buddhist sects are collecting dragon energy. Although the Arhat who saved love was captured, there are still two Vajras who are in charge of collecting dragon energy in the Central Plains. These are the two third ranks.

"The side of the Sorcerer God Sect must also be collecting dragon energy. The three of us joined forces to unite the front. No matter how strong Xu Qi'an is, it is impossible to defeat us at the same time.

"In this way, he can stop his process of collecting dragon energy and buy time for father and uncle."

Ji Xuan smiled and said, "It's a very good way."

Qihuan Danxiang interjected at the right time:

"I can go back to the southern border and persuade the Gu clan to help and fight back together. Don't underestimate the strength of the Gu clan, there are several strong people with combat power comparable to the Transcendent Realm.

"If they are willing to take action, Dafeng will perish."

Liu Hongmian smiled and said:

"The Gu clan has a grudge against Dafeng. If it really comes to the stage of rebellion, maybe they can become allies. But now, I hope they send masters to deal with Xu Qi'an."

The enchanting beauty snorted: "Don't forget, what's the matter with his Gu technique? If you say that it has nothing to do with your Gu clan, my aunt will not believe it."

Qi Huan Danxiang frowned, unable to refute.

Ji Xuan said:

"This matter is feasible. As for the Gu clan, there is no need to contact them for the time being. We know the contact information of the two Vajras, but the Witch God Sect."

Xu Yuanhuai said: "Leave it to Tianji Palace."

Ji Xuan nodded, ended the meeting, dismissed everyone, and said:

"Yuan Shuang, you stay here."

Xu Yuanshuang closed the door, sat back at the table, and looked at him silently.

"What do you think of Xu Qi'an?" Ji Xuan smiled.

"Very strong, terrifyingly strong." Xu Yuanshuang gave a pertinent reply.

"Yes, very strong"

Ji Xuan sighed:

"Before the battle in Yongzhou, I, including those brothers and sisters in Qianlong City, believed that Xu Qi'an's achievements today depended entirely on luck.

"That may be true, but not entirely true.

"After Yongzhou, I really realized how terrible he is. It is also a fourth grade, and his "will" makes me feel trembling, and this has nothing to do with luck."

Xu Yuanshuang couldn't help thinking of the scene outside the city of Yongzhou that day when he slashed the formation of Zen masters with a single blow.

In that powerful and sharp knife, there was the irreversible madness of a desperate person.

"I know that you are influenced by your aunt, and you feel pity for him, thinking that the national teacher is ruthless and ruthless, killing flesh and blood. But Yuan Huai is more influenced by the national teacher.

"I want to surpass Xu Qi'an wholeheartedly, and prove to the national teacher that he is no worse than that big brother in the capital, but it is not enough to say how much Yuan Huai hates Xu Qi'an."

Xu Yuanshuang interrupted coldly: "You want to tell me not to show mercy?"

Ji Xuan shook his head and said with a smile, "Brother Seven wants a promise from you."

"you say."

"Now is not the time, when the time comes, I will tell you." Ji Xuan smiled.

Xu Yuanshuang took a deep look at him, left the room silently without saying anything.

The capital city, the Great Sacrifice Hall in the south of the imperial city.

Dafeng has two sacrifices a year, the spring festival at the beginning of the year and the ancestor worship at the end of the year.

The ancestors are worshiped in Sangbo, where the ancestral tablets are enshrined, and the heaven is worshiped in the Great Sacrifice Hall in the south of the imperial city.

In special circumstances, there will be a second sacrifice, a third sacrifice, and even more.

For example, when Emperor Yongxing ascended the throne, ancestor worship and heaven worship were held at the same time. For example, when the national war started, the emperor would lead all civil and military officials to sacrifice to heaven and ancestors.

After the winter, the cold disaster swept through Dafeng. Emperor Yongxing had always had the idea of ​​offering sacrifices to the heavens and praying for blessings.

At the end of the sacrifice to heaven, the imperial court allocated funds for disaster relief, and the situation of the people improved. Isn't it because the emperor's blessing has achieved outstanding results.

At noon, Xu Erlang rode his horse to the outside of the Great Sacrifice Hall in the south of the imperial city.

At this time, there is still a period of time before the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, and hundreds of officials have come one after another.

"Master Xu!"

Xu Erlang handed over the horses to the officials, and saw a group of civil officials approaching.

They were supposed to be cold-hearted towards Xu Erlang, but today they were extraordinarily enthusiastic.

Xu Xinian bowed and saluted without changing his face.

"Master Xu, I have a good friend who is planning to accept apprentices for teaching. Hearing that Mr. Xu's younger sister is talented, she became interested in accepting apprentices and asked me to inquire on my behalf. Sir Xu, can I take it for my sake? superior."

"Master Xu!" Another civil servant interrupted:

"I like to be a teacher, and I also want to accept apprentices. Lingmei is a rare seed of study in a hundred years. I am willing to enlighten her for her."

"Master Xu"

"Master Xu"

The people who came to strike up a conversation were all officials with mediocre positions. The real bosses were naturally reserved, but they all seemed to be quite concerned, and they all looked at this side.

Xu Nian bowed again and again, prevaricated, and squeezed out of the encirclement.

These are some things.

Si Tianjian.

Yang Qianhuan sat cross-legged in the room, quietly and motionless, but his heart was in anxiety.

Finally, footsteps sounded from the silent corridor.

Not long after, a cute girl with big eyes in a yellow skirt appeared outside the door, looking in through the small ventilation window, her voice was as clear as a silver bell:

"Senior Brother Yang, I went to the Eight Diagrams Channel to see it. Teacher Jianzheng's primordial spirit is out of his body."

Yang Qianhuan's breath suddenly became short of breath, but he suppressed the excitement in his heart well, and asked:

"Did you call him?"

"Called, Teacher Jianzheng ignored me, I don't know where my mind wandered." Chu Caiwei said.

"good very good!"

Yang Qianhuan laughed out loud.

Chu Caiwei reached into her bosom, took out a note, and threw it in through the door and window:

"Then the deal has been concluded, you must help me get the items above within three days."

The note is a "menu", and Chu Caiwei listed the food and wine mentioned above through Xu Qi'an's reply.

She kept it like a secret book, and planned to travel around the rivers and lakes according to the delicacies on the list when she was promoted to the fourth rank in the future.

Until Yang Qianhuan found her and asked her to spy on the teacher secretly.

The witty Chu Caiwei immediately proposed a deal, and the reward was that Yang Qianhuan would collect food and wine for her within three days.

Win-win!

Chu Caiwei was very happy in her heart, with a bright smile on her oval face, and then a little worried, and said:

"Senior Brother Yang, what are you going to do? Can't you let Teacher Jianzheng save some time?"

Yang Qianhuan countered:

"You are a guy who monitors his teacher for stuttering, what right do you have to say about me?"

After finishing speaking, the brothers and sisters gave in to each other wisely, and did not argue much on this topic.

Of course Yang Qianhuan would not tell Chu Caiwei that he planned to make a big fuss at the ceremony.

It's not to destroy the grand ceremony, but to use it to become famous all over the world.

He wanted to donate all of Si Tianjian's money.

"The people are poor and suffering from hunger and cold. How can we live a life of rich people who stink of wine and meat. I am definitely not doing this for the limelight, but to do something for the suffering people."

Yang Qianhuan told himself righteously in his heart.

The clear light under his body lit up and engulfed him.

Chu Caiwei bounced away.

In the room at the other end of the corridor, Zhong Li quietly took out a sound transmission conch, and whispered:

"Senior Brother Song, Senior Brother Yang really has a wicked heart and wants to donate Si Tianjian's money like last time.

"He also asked Junior Sister Caiwei to help monitor Teacher Jianzheng."

Song Qing's voice came from Faluo:

"Teacher Jianzheng's predictions were right. I found out, so I took out the Tianji plate and suppressed him. This idiot, he donated Sitianjian's money, what should I use for alchemy experiments?

"Junior Sister Caiwei is also helping the evildoer, so it seems that I can only suppress her.

"Teacher Jianzheng promised that as long as he helps him stare at Yang Qianhuan, he will allow me to do a human body alchemy experiment. Now that there is one more junior sister Caiwei, I have to try to get him to promise me another experiment."

After a pause, Song Qing smiled and said, "Junior Sister Zhong, what did Teacher Jianzheng promise you?"

Zhong Li said in a harmless whisper:

"I didn't promise anything. I just feel a little bored recently and want to find someone to accompany me."

Jiangzhou City.

Xu Qi'an held a small bronze mirror in his hand, and while sensing the surroundings, he ordered:

"I want to have a bird's-eye view of Jiangzhou."

The mirror surface of the armillary mirror highlights a picture:

In a certain inn room, Miao Youfang was soaked in a medicinal bath naked, with a painful expression, and his skin was like boiled shrimp.

Xu Qi'an was stunned for a moment: "Why are you showing me this?"

The spirit of the Heavenly Mirror replied: "Isn't this exactly what you want to see?"

The corner of Xu Qi'an's mouth twitched: "I've said it many times, I don't want to watch men take a bath."

Hun Tian Shen Jing: "Understood, let's change it."

As soon as the picture changed, a scene of a strange man taking a bath appeared in the mirror. He looked much more handsome than Miao Youfang.

Do you have problems with reading comprehension? Xu Qi'an used silence to express his attitude.

"Understood, you want to see the female and the male mating and bathing at the same time."

Seeing that he is not speaking, but is good at asserting himself, Hun Tian Shen Jing changes the scene.

This time, what appeared in the picture was a pair of young men and women, soaking in a large bathtub, clinging naked to the steaming water, splashing water and exercising intensely.

Phew. Xu Qi'an let out a sigh of relief: "I think we need to talk."

The screen was broken, and the "one eye" of the Heavenly Mirror stood out, looking at Xu Qi'an:

"Can."

"You don't need to be so serious and solemn, you can continue the scene just now, well, I think it will be easier to chat like this."

When the Heavenly Mirror resumed the live broadcast, Xu Qi'an said slowly:

"I have endured you for a long time, why do you always make claims?"

"Don't you want to pry into other people's privacy?"

Huntian Shenjing said in a reasonable tone:

"My greatest ability is to allow you to unscrupulously peep into other people's most private things, and you will gain god-like self-confidence and a sense of superiority."

Did the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox use you to do this back then? Does she still like to watch two men take a bath? Xu Qi'an seems to understand.

The Heavenly Mirror continued:

"You didn't use me to spy on the females out of the bath, so you like to watch the males out of the bath. I'm so caring, you should be thankful."

No, only I can see the picture of Huaiqing and Lin'an going out of the bath, even if you are a genderless weapon spirit. Xu Qi'an let out another breath:

"I'm too lazy to talk to you, my request is very simple, from now on, do what I ask you to do, don't make any more claims.

"Otherwise, you will never get nourished by dragon energy again."

"Okay." The Heavenly Mirror compromised.

"I want to have a bird's-eye view of Jiangzhou City, don't delay my collection of dragon energy."

Xu Qi'an recently developed a new usage of the Heavenly Mirror. He can use the Mirror as a medium to observe the situation of a city, and then through the induction between the fragments of the Earth Book and the dragon's energy, he can find out the host of the dragon's energy hidden in the vast sea of ​​people. .

The limitation is that he needs to see the Dragon Qi host clearly and unmistakably in the Heavenly Mirror before he can sense him, and he cannot directly locate the Dragon Qi host through a bird's-eye view of Jiangzhou City.

Xu Qi'an used the armillary mirror to observe the north of the city, looking at it street by street.

I am in the south of the city, sensing the dragon energy host that may exist nearby.

This method worked very well, and he found a dragon energy host in just one morning.

That guy is a vendor selling sesame seed cakes. Since he got the Dragon Qi, his birthday has been prosperous, and he has become the envy of the nearby stall owners.

Xu Qi'an bought two pancakes from him, and took away the dragon energy.

Yuzhou.

Xu Yuanshuang went out and returned, and said to Ji Xuan and others in the courtyard:

"Canglong Qisu has captured that dragon energy host.

"In addition, news came from the spies in Xiangzhou that the two palace masters of the East China Sea Dragon Palace are looking for the host of the Dragon Qi."
