Nightwatcher

Bai Ji curled up on the rock in a sleeping posture. A few seconds later, a terrifying and tyrannical will awoke from her body.

At this moment, the beasts and birds in the forest fell silent at the same time, or prostrated themselves on the ground, or spread their wings to cover their bird heads.

The coercion of the higher creatures made the nearby creatures tremble, as if the doomsday was approaching. .

The half-collapsed main peak of Mount Quanrong, the old man Kou Yangzhou sensed it, frowning and looking into the distance.

Such a strong demonic aura, he focused on the white fox beside Xu Ningyan for a while, then slowly looked away, and ignored it.

On the other side, after the tyrannical will came, Bai Ji opened her eyes, one of her eyes overflowed with clear light, and the other was black and pure.

"Ma'am!"

Bai Ji called out tenderly.

Then, it spoke again, and the voice turned into a magnetic voice that only mature women have:

"The one surnamed Xu is not here, little girl, what do you have to report."

Bai Ji's voice switched seamlessly, changing back to a childish girl's voice:

"Ma'am, I'm in the Jianzhou Martial Arts League right now, and there's just been a battle for dragon energy here, involving Buddhism, rain masters from the Witch God Sect, and warlocks from Yunzhou."

The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox was silent for a moment, then said with a smile:

"It seems that this fight was very intense, otherwise you wouldn't take the initiative to find me."

Bai Ji nodded her head vigorously, and said softly: "Xu Yinluo won, and the Buddhist sect has suffered a heavy loss this time."

Nine-tailed Sky Fox's voice was a bit more solemn: "What's the ending?"

Bai Ji said: "The two Vajras Du Fan and Du Nan have fallen."

After finishing speaking, the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox fell silent. After a long time of silence, Bai Ji couldn't help but speak:

"Ma'am?"

Only then did Nine-Tailed Sky Fox speak, "Tell me what happened in detail."

Bai Ji relayed the information she heard from Xu Qi'an to the empress in detail. What she said was relatively brief, because what Xu Qi'an said was very brief, just telling the general process of the battle.

"I can imagine how thrilling it is, Duanfan dies, and the current high-level combat power of Buddhism is only the three Bodhisattvas Jia Luoshu, Guangxian and Liuli, and Du Er Luohan.

"In just over a month, Buddhism has lost more extraordinary masters than in the past five hundred years. It is worthy of being a person who has half a lifetime of national destiny."

Bai Ji heard the joy in the empress's voice, raised her paw to pat the stone, and said softly:

"It's time to counterattack the Hundred Thousand Mountains and take back the territory of our Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom."

The nine-tailed celestial fox sneered and said:

"The estrus period has not yet come, and the tone is so loud, the newborn fox cubs are not afraid of Buddha.

"But you are right, the chance to regain the Hundred Thousand Mountains is not far away."

After a pause, she didn't continue the topic, and said with emotion:

"I didn't expect Jianzheng to be willing to suffer the backlash of heaven for him. I have some doubts about the purpose of Jianzheng."

From Bai Ji's feedback, she didn't see any signs of Xu Qi'an's backlash.

Bai Ji tilted her head: "Heaven's way backfires?"

"Sorcerer's "Blessing" supernatural powers can summon ancestor heroic spirits, as well as heroic spirits who are entangled with their own cause and effect. Generally speaking, only heroic spirits of the same realm can be summoned. No matter how high it is, it must rely on external forces.

"During Wei Yuan's attack on Jingshan City, he summoned the heroic spirit of the Confucian Sage with the help of the Confucian Sage Carving Knife and the Sub-Sage Confucian Crown. He must pay the price for this.

"The price here is not only him as the carrier, the physical body will be destroyed by the power of a high-level personality, but also the backlash of heaven, because this approach violates the rules.

"Whether Wei Yuan succeeds in sealing the witch god or not, he will surely die."

Bai Ji was suddenly taken aback and was taken aback:

"That Xu Yingong."

Nine-Tailed Fox smiled and said: "Emperor Gaozu is not a Confucian saint, and the backlash is not that great. As a first-rank warlock, Jianzheng can take it down, if it is Xu Qi'an of the third rank."

Even if he is lucky enough to save his life, he will pay an unbearable heavy price.

"The Duan who bears the Vajra image will also be backlashed by the heavens." Bai Ji thought of the Duan Vajra who was also "open".

"This does not belong to summoning heroic spirits, and will not be backlashed by the heavens. It is just that as a third-rank King Kong, he will bear the blessing of a first-rank Dharma, and he will pay an unimaginable price afterwards. Killing one thousand enemies will only damage eight hundred.

"In addition, the reason why he can bear the essence and blood of Bodhisattva Gala Tree is because he is also a Vajra. If it were an Arhat, it would be impossible to manifest the Vajra Dharma."

Bai Ji nodded obediently.

After chatting about the business, it asked softly, "Ma'am, have you found any compatriots overseas?"

Nine-tailed Sky Fox shook his head:

"Overseas is vast, and the ocean is boundless. Finding the same race is like finding a needle in a haystack. But I met a descendant of a god and demon, and learned something interesting from it."

Bai Ji asked with great interest: "The descendants of gods and demons?"

"It's the one who appeared in Baidi City in Yunzhou. He told me some secrets about the age of gods and demons, and hinted at the real reason why the descendants of gods and demons fled the mainland of Kyushu in the first place."

Without waiting for Bai Ji to ask, she said with a smile:

"The secret must not be revealed, your current cultivation level is not enough to pay the price of knowing the answer.

"Okay, take me to see him."

Wen Chengbi returned to the meeting room, pushed the door open, and Cao Qingyang and the others immediately stopped talking and turned to look at him.

"What did the ancestors say?"

Cao Qingyang stared at the deputy leader's face, and said with a smile:

"It seems that the old ancestor's reply is very satisfactory to you."

Fu Jingmen and the others pouted immediately. Wen Chengbi advocated building the headquarters on the mountain. Building a city on flat ground and building the headquarters in the mountains are not the same thing.

Wen Chengbi laughed and said:

"The ancestors said that chaos is coming, and the headquarters must be built on the mountain to occupy the terrain."

Qiao Weng of the Jianzhou Chamber of Commerce pinched his brows and said with a wry smile:

"The ancestors are not in charge of the family, and they don't know how expensive vegetables, rice, oil and salt are. Don't expect extravagant things, and live on by tightening your belts from now on."

All the sect masters and sect masters of the fourth rank were frowning.

It's not that they don't want to pay, it's just that Jianghu gangs can't collect taxes like the government. They have their own industries.

And because of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the sect's business has been hit hard, and the business is very sluggish, but those people who rely on the gang to live must still be supported, and in addition, they have to cooperate with the government to provide disaster relief.

The financial pressure is enormous.

Now that they have to bear the construction costs of the headquarters, one can imagine how sad life will be.

At this time, the moral bottom line is too high, which has become a burden instead.

If it is an ordinary sect of the rivers and lakes, who cares about the life and death of ordinary people, that is something that the government has to worry about.

Seeing everyone's downcast faces, Wen Chengbi twitched his mouth:

"Don't worry, everyone. The most difficult thing to build the headquarters is manpower and money. We just need to solve these two problems, and that's all right."

Fu Jingmen squinted and said with a sneer:

"But we just can't solve the money problem, will you conjure it up for me?"

Everyone looked at the deputy leader blankly.

Wen Chengbi didn't panic, and talked eloquently:

"All our gangs and factions have to contribute money and food to cooperate with the government to provide porridge for disaster relief.

"Since this is the case, we simply gather the victims and let them build the headquarters for everyone, and exchange their labor for relief. This solves the manpower problem, and we don't need extra money for repairs.

"It's called, um, cash for work."

The meeting hall was quiet for a while, and the gang leaders and sect masters were stunned for a long time, and then the discussion broke out in an instant.

"It seems to be okay, so there is no need to pay extra money. Anyway, the money and food for disaster relief must be paid."

"Yes, yes, there are so many victims, there is no need to use them for nothing. You don't need to give extra money, just take care of them."

"Relief from work. Is this an idea that our ancestors thought of?"

The reason is actually very simple, just one point makes sense.

The reason why they didn't think of it was not because they were stupid, but because their thinking was limited. In this era, when the imperial court wanted to build infrastructure, the common people were obliged to work without pay.

This is called corvee service.

In other words, there is no need to spend money on infrastructure construction, and it is the responsibility of the people.

Since you can go whoring for nothing, who will take the initiative to pay?

It's not that I can't think of the idea of ​​working for relief, but that it is not necessary at all.

As for why no one came up with a similar solution during the disaster, it was also limited by the times.

The reason is simple, the imperial court is not an infrastructure madman, and it may not be able to repair the city walls and build roads for decades.

Since it is not needed, there is no background for cash-for-work.

But right now, this idea perfectly solves the embarrassment faced by the Wulin League.

All of a sudden it took a turn.

"As expected of our ancestors, if you live a long time, you are wise and smarter than us."

"The ancestors are people who have experienced troubled times and are people with great wisdom."

Qiao Weng, Yang Cuixue and others were not stingy in their praise, and their faces were full of joy. A headache problem was easily solved by the ancestors.

Wen Chengbi was stunned for a moment, and waved his hands again and again:

"This is not the idea of ​​the ancestors"

Everyone looked at him suspiciously: "You?"

Wen Chengbi still shook his head:

"not me."

Xiao Yuenu's eyes lit up immediately.

Sure enough, Wen Chengbi said:

"It was Xu Yinluo who came up with the idea, he happened to be talking to my ancestors, and he gave me an idea casually.

"Tsk tsk, as expected of Xu Yinluo, who is proficient in the art of war, poetry, literary and martial arts, and has the talent for governing the country."

Xu Yinluo, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling "So it's him, so I'm not surprised".

"If I knew it earlier, it would be a waste of my brain. Just ask Xu Yinluo directly."

Fu Jingmen slapped the table with emotion.

There is such a god-man, and they turned a blind eye, arguing here for so long.

Yang Cuixue said with emotion:

"It is true that he has the talent for governing the country. Xu Yinluo is Wei Yuan's disciple. The young is better than the blue."

In the meeting hall, the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and cheerful.

Rongrong followed Wanhualou's colleagues and was responsible for boiling medicine and commanding soldiers to clean up the ruins, so that the army town could restore order as soon as possible.

"Master, why are you depressed?"

Rongrong turned her head and looked at the beautiful woman who was picking the herbs.

It is sad that the Wulin League suffered such a catastrophe, but the enemy was successfully repelled, Xu Yinluo shined brilliantly, and the Wulin League congregation was fortunate to witness this shocking battle. Except for a few people who lost relatives and friends, most of them Still mostly excited.

Especially the disciples of these affiliated forces, their mentality is relatively more relaxed.

After all, the headquarters is not their own mountain gate.

But the beautiful woman has been frowning since the battle ended, obviously she has something on her mind.

"It's fine as a teacher, don't talk too much here, just do your job."

The beautiful woman frowned and taught a lesson.

Rongrong curled her lips, and while helping to pick out the herbs, she muttered:

"I looked around, but I didn't see Xu Yinluo. Maybe he doesn't live in this area."

The beautiful woman frowned even tighter, and said earnestly:

"Rongrong, don't have illusions that you shouldn't have. There are as many girls who like Xu Yinluo as the crucian carp in the river, but you can't control such a man.

"If you are a slave or a concubine, are you willing?"

Having said that, the beautiful woman looked dejected.

Seeing this, Rongrong was taken aback, her face paled:

"Master, I'm not sad. Why are you sad? Could it be that you also like Xu Yinluo? He can be your son."

The beautiful woman was furious, and was about to speak, when she suddenly saw the sword light flashing above her head, and several figures flew with the sword, and landed somewhere in the military town.

The beautiful woman stared blankly at the sky with a complicated expression.

A courtyard in the south of the military town.

Chu Yuanzhen, Li Miaozhen and Li Lingsu pressed down the flying swords, and they fell lightly in the courtyard.

In the yard, on a pony horse, sat a plain-looking woman, starching and washing clothes.

He glanced at them lightly, turned his head and shouted towards the house:

"Surnamed Xu, your cronies have come to look for you."

How did this woman talk? Li Miaozhen was unhappy.

princess? Chu Yuanzhen repeatedly knocked on the mediocre woman, somewhat unsure of her identity.

He knew that the legendary Princess Zhenbei had followed Xu Qi'an to wander the world.

But the ordinary face in front of him made it difficult for him to connect with Dafeng's number one beauty.

Xu Qi'an, who was changing the sheets in the room, heard the sound, smiling as before:

"Is it done?"

He paused on Dongfang Wanqing.

Li Lingsu coughed and said:

"Brother Xu, Sister Qing has no intention of being your enemy, but each of you is your own master."

Xu Qi'an waved his hand: "For your sake of helping me, I won't embarrass her."

Dongfang Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief.

His main enemies are Fomen and Xu Pingfeng. In this journey of rivers and lakes, although the Dongfang sisters are also enemies, they don't meet much.

Compared with her sister Dongfang Wanrong, Dongfang Wanqing's presence is extremely low.

Xu Qi'an didn't have much hatred for her, but in fact, she was not good enough to catch the eye.

Li Lingsu stood with his hands behind his back, with an extraordinary air, and said with a smile:

"Sister Qing, as I said, you have to believe me, I'm still a bit thin."

Xu Qi'an glanced at him, turned his head expressionlessly, and shouted into the room:

"Chai Xing'er, come out."

Li Lingsu's expression froze instantly!

PS: Change first and then change.
