Nightwatcher

south city.

At dawn, Xu Qi'an was lying on the big soft and comfortable bed, covered with a light fur made of silk unique to the south.

Ye Ji leaned sideways, next to him, with the lazy posture of a servant supporting her weakly. .

"Living in the capital for many years, I have gotten used to everything about the human race. After returning to southern Xinjiang, I feel that the life of the monster race in the past is very rough and not refined enough."

Ye Ji sighed with emotion, and said, "I thought the empress would burn down Nancheng and rebuild the Wan Yao Kingdom."

The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox kept the twenty-seven cities built by the people of the Western Regions as the stronghold of the Wan Yao Kingdom.

Such a decision actually requires great courage, because not all monster races can transform, and not all monster races like to live in human towns.

Roaring together in the mountains and forests, living recklessly in nature is the ideal life of many monster races.

Therefore, while retaining the twenty-seven cities, the Nine-tailed Sky Fox divided the areas of activity of the various ethnic groups of the Yaozu in various parts of southern Xinjiang.

In order to ensure that the supply of troops is sufficient, and that they can quickly enter the battle and obey the dispatch, the divided area is not far from the twenty-seven city.

However, most of the current monster clans live in the city. Firstly, the war has just stabilized, and secondly, enough monster soldiers are needed to manage the human race in the Western Regions.

"Your mother is a very sensible woman, no, banshee. Keeping the city and imitating the system of the human race will benefit the demon race even more."

Xu Qi'an laughed.

Under the light fur, her slippery and soft body clung to him, and while Ye Ji seduced him recklessly, she sighed and said:

"Your Majesty is worried that the countries in the Western Regions will not take prisoners, so whether these people from the Western Regions will be killed or kept is a question."

Back then, people from the Western Regions came to southern Xinjiang to "open up wasteland", migrated tens of thousands of people, built cities in southern Xinjiang, and enjoyed herbs, wood, and mountain treasures from the 100,000 mountains.

Five hundred years later, there are twenty-seven cities and surrounding villages and towns with a total population of one million.

Among these people, some died in the flames of war, some fled back to the Western Regions, and more became captives.

To accommodate so many people in the countries of the Western Regions, food is a problem first, followed by housing, land allocation, and so on.

Willingness to undertake it is questionable.

"It's impossible for someone like her to take one step and think about ten steps without countermeasures." Xu Qi'an laughed.

Ye Ji put on the posture of a little girl, flattering her and said:

"Xu Lang's wisdom is not inferior to your empress."

It's still the best when I'm with Fuxiang, she knows how to please me, unlike the national teacher, who only drains me, Xu Qi'an said with emotion.

It's not just the national teacher, Mu Nanzhi, Lin'an, Li Miaozhen, Huaiqing, etc. These women are all the wonders of the times, either they are beautiful and violent, or they are spoiled, or they are more chivalrous than him, or they make him feel inferior Female top student.

Thinking back to when he first came to this world, Xu Qi'an was full of emotion in his heart, longing for the boring life of three wives and four concubines.

Mixed into the extraordinary realm, the life of being a master is still far away.

Or how to say the ideal is very precious, because the ideal is always out of reach.

Seeing her success in currying favor with her lover, Ye Ji smiled charmingly, and continued:

"Your Majesty said that taking back the Wanyao Mountain is only the first step, and the Yaozu will have to Chen Bing on the border in the future, so as to help the Central Plains contain the Buddhism. It just so happens that the people from the Western Regions can act as militiamen and make the best use of everything.

"You can't raise them for nothing, and the monster race lives rashly. They don't pay as much attention to it as the human race. They don't need slaves. Only the nobles in the human race feel superior to others, pay attention to rules, enslave servants, and show their status."

After the Yaozu retakes the Hundred Thousand Mountains, if they stop here, then the Buddhism can send troops to assist the Yunzhou rebels.

Therefore, the battle between Yaozu and Buddhism is not over yet. Taking back the southern border is the first step. The follow-up will be Chen Bing's border, and he will invade the Western Regions at any time.

Only in this way can the countries in the Western Regions be vigilant and dare not send large-scale troops to the Central Plains.

This is pinning.

Xu Qi'an nodded: "Not bad method."

He looked at the gauze above his head, thought for a while, and said via voice transmission:

"You, Bai Ji, and Qing Ji, what is your relationship with your empress? You sisters should not be pure fox clan."

Ye Ji hesitated for a moment, and said via voice transmission:

"I knew you would see it sooner or later.

"We have a total of nine sisters, and Bai Ji is the youngest. It is true that she is not a pure fox clan, but she is more noble than the fox clan. We are the souls of the empress."

Xu Qi'an was taken aback: "Split soul?"

Humans have three souls of "heaven, earth and man", which means separate souls. If I understand correctly, it is one of the three souls.

Ye Ji explained:

"The nine-tailed celestial fox is born with twelve souls. Except for three souls, each tail has one soul. After reaching adulthood, the nine souls will leave the body with the tail and turn into nine maids.

"So the previous Lord of the Ten Thousand Monsters had at least nine elders close to him, who were actually nine tails.

"The tail of the nine-tailed sky fox has a great effect. It can be shaped into a physical body. Therefore, for our nine sisters, as long as the soul is not destroyed, the physical body can be replaced and reshaped at any time."

Ah, it turns out that I used to chase corpses, but now I'm copulating. Xu Qi'an's expression is extremely complicated.

"What other talents and supernatural powers does she have?" He waited for the opportunity to find out the details of Nine-Tailed Fox.

To be honest, Ye Ji had struggled, after all, this was the empress's secret, but when a woman was on the bed, her psychological defense was the weakest, and she quickly turned her elbows outward, leaking the Nine-Tailed Fox's supernatural powers to Xu Qi'an.

The Nine-Divided Soul is one of the innate supernatural powers, and the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox has three other innate supernatural powers, which are:

Inspiriting, rapid speed. The last talent is unknown, which requires the nine-tailed sky fox to step into the first rank to control it.

Calculated in this way, the nine-tailed celestial fox has four kinds of innate supernatural powers, and it is worthy of being a demon king with spiritual resources and unique advantages. Xu Qi'an's thoughts flickered, thinking of the day when the nine-tailed celestial fox used its prodigal voice to decipher the chanting of Du Er Luohan .

That should be soul-stirring.

He went on to ask:

"It's no wonder that Bai Ji's innate supernatural power is speed, what about yours?"

Ye Ji smiled and said:

"Xu Lang, since we reunited in Southern Border, do you feel that you are becoming more and more obsessed with the slave family, and more and more reluctant to leave Southern Border?"

Oh, it turned out to be the charm in the soul-destroyer. If you don't tell me, I really didn't feel it. It's all Mu Nanzhi's fault. After staying with her for a long time, I am completely immune to the leisurely charm.

Xu Qi'an turned over, put his arms on both sides of Ye Ji's waist, looked down at her, showed obsession, and said:

"So that's the case. No wonder Ben Yinluo misses Miss Fuxiang day and night."

Ye Ji was very useful and her face was full of joy.

Suddenly, the bed curtain began to shake rhythmically.

Mu Nanzhi hugged Bai Ji and strolled in the square of Nanfa Temple.

The ground is in a mess, the main hall collapsed, the Buddha statues toppled, and the square paved with bluestone slabs is full of cracks and potholes.

The demon soldiers who can be seen everywhere hold weapons and instruct the people of the Western Regions to repair the potholes in the square and rebuild the collapsed temples. The sound of scolding and whips can be heard endlessly.

Mu Nanzhi knew that the repair of Nanfa Temple was the order of the Nine-Tailed Fox. According to Bai Ji, it was for the Yaozu to remember their shame and practice hard.

"Elder Bai Ji."

"I met Elder Bai Ji."

The demon soldiers encountered along the way respectfully bowed to Bai Ji in Mu Nanzhi's arms.

Bai Ji responded politely to the demon soldier's greetings with "ummm" and "ahah" in a childish voice.

"You little thing is an elder, my mother, don't I want to be the demon king?"

Mu Nanzhi rubbed Bai Ji's head and laughed.

She looked at the demon soldiers around with great interest. Some of them were in the form of beasts, and some were in the form of humans, but they retained some of the characteristics of beasts, such as horns, claws, scales and so on.

For the reincarnation of the flower god, this is very interesting.

Originally, she was quite afraid of the monster race, because when she went to the north, she was chased and killed by the northern monsters, which caused a shadow in her heart.

It was later discovered that the male Yaozu didn't look at her at all.

For a moment, Mu Nanzhi couldn't figure out whether it was because her appearance was too ordinary, or because the monster race had a different concept of beauty from the human race.

Bai Ji suddenly whispered:

"I may have to stay in southern Xinjiang.

"The empress asked me to follow Xu Yinluo to supervise whether he had properly unsealed Shenshu's stump, but now that the empress has returned to the country, Shenshu's stump has been pieced together, and the final right hand is in his body.

"I have no reason to follow him any longer."

The shallow smile on the corner of Mu Nanzhi's mouth gradually lost its curvature.

Bai Ji raised her head and said:

"Auntie, are you unhappy?"

Mu Nanzhi sighed:

"At the beginning, I was willing to go all over the world with him, thinking that even if I was traveling all over the world, I would have a companion after all, and the journey would not be too lonely. But in the past two months, half of my time has been spent in the Pagoda of Baofutu.

"Fortunately, I'm not lonely if you are with me. If you stay in southern Xinjiang, how lonely I would be."

Loneliness flashed in her eyes, and her face looked lost.

Just as he was speaking, a crisp and clean voice came from behind:

"Bai Ji!"

Mu Nanzhi turned around holding the little fox, and saw a tall woman covered in a light veil walking towards her with her skirt flying.

"Sister Qing Ji."

Bai Ji yelled softly.

Qing Ji beckoned, and Bai Ji jumped out of Mu Nanzhi's arms, and ran towards her sister whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Mu Nanzhi frowned slightly, feeling a little bit reluctant.

Qing Ji leaned over and hugged Bai Ji, her foxy eyes were bent, then she nodded slightly to Mu Nanzhi, and walked past her.

Mu Nanzhi's eyes followed her back, hesitant to speak, and suddenly saw Bai Ji's head protruding from the shoulder of the woman in the blue skirt, and raised a paw, waving it.

Immediately, she was pushed back by the woman in the blue skirt.

Mu Nanzhi smiled, fell silent for a moment, and sighed softly.

The top of Wan Yao Mountain.

The charming lady with silver hair and fox ears stood proudly on the edge of the cliff and said:

"Twenty-six hundred miles south of Shiwan Dashan, there is an island full of colorful silkworms. I named it Silkworm Island.

"There is a valley to the north of Silkworm Island. The Nether Silkworm Clan lives in the valley. The miasma gas on the island is extremely poisonous, and the poisonous gas in the valley can even paralyze the superhuman. The Nether Silkworm likes to eat murderers with strong vitality. Form a net to catch sea animals in the sea.

"However, you have the Seven Absolute Gu to accompany you, neither the poisonous gas nor the colorful silkworms all over the island can threaten you."

He has extremely high intelligence, is highly poisonous, and silk is hard to entangle. Xu Qi'an listened very carefully.

The silver-haired enchantress raised her hand, and a roll of animal skin maps floated in the air:

"Here is the map I drew last night."

Xu Qi'an took the map and did not start to look at it immediately, but asked:

"How do you know that I want to revive Duke Wei?"

The nine-tailed sky fox pursed its delicate red lips, and said with a delicate smile:

"The old guy with the white beard said."

Supervisor. Xu Qi'an no longer had any doubts, and said helplessly:

"It's a pity that I didn't capture Du'e or Asuro, and my magic nail is still there. After this battle, Buddhism's fear of me has doubled. I really don't know when I will find an opportunity to pull out the magic nail."

After the Chaofan battle in Nanfa Temple, Du'er and others knew that he was going to remove the magic nail, so they were extremely cautious. Xu Qi'an failed to find a chance to capture either of them.

Regardless of Duer or Asuro, they are all the best in the second rank.

It's okay to repel, but it's too difficult to capture alive.

"Then let's follow Wei Niang to attack Alan Tuo in the future. At that time, I will have a way to take out the magic nail." The nine-tailed celestial fox faced the wind, squinted its eyes, and its silver hair fluttered.

My filial piety has gone bad, Xu Qi'an made a fuss.

The sooner he touches the magic nail, the sooner he can step into the second rank. After ten or eight years, it is meaningless to untie the magic nail. Xu Qi'an sighed silently, and said:

"By the way, I have one more request!"

After lunch, Xu Qi'an led the little mare, and Mu Nanzhi sat on the horse's back. The two walked along the spacious streets of the southern city towards the only well-preserved gate of the northern city.

The other three gates, which collapsed into ruins during the war, are now being rebuilt.

Along the way, many streets and houses are also being repaired. People from the Western Regions in plain clothes, carrying bamboo baskets, stones, and wood, are working amidst the scolding and whipping of the demon clan.

"Why don't they run away?"

Mu Nanzhi subconsciously stroked the little white fox in her arms, but found nothing. There was a flash of loneliness in her eyes, but she hid it well.

"They are at most enslaved in the city, and when they leave the city, they will be eaten by the monster clan at any time in the 100,000 mountains."

Xu Qi'an didn't seem to notice her abnormality, led the little mare and continued to move forward.

Mu Nanzhi let out an "oh", and looked at the scene on both sides of the street in a dispirited manner.

The two soon arrived at the gate of the city, Xu Qi'an said:

"Our next stop is to go to the sea, to a place called Silkworm Island. It's very dangerous there. I have to trouble you to enter the pagoda again. Help me grow some poisonous weeds by the way."

Mu Nanzhi sighed lightly:

"Xu Qi'an, I want to go back to the capital."

Xu Qi'an was stunned: "Go back to the capital?"

Mu Nanzhi didn't dare to look at him, she turned her face away and said in a low voice:

"I often wonder, have you really thought about my feelings? Have you ever thought that I would be bored and lonely in the Pagoda of the Buddha. It's not that I don't want to stay in the pagoda. I can't help, and naturally I can't add to the chaos.

"I just, just thought you never cared what I thought, how I felt"

As she spoke, her eyes were inexplicably moist.

Suddenly, she heard Bai Ji chirp angrily:

"Auntie, then take me back to the capital."

Mu Nanzhi touched her head habitually, and hummed: "Take you back to the capital."

The second half of the sentence ended in summer, and Mu Nanzhi lowered her head in disbelief, looking at Bai Ji in her arms.

"Why did you catch up?" Mu Nanzhi was surprised and delighted, looking back frequently.

"Your Majesty told me to continue following Xu Yinluo." Bai Ji said softly.

In fact, she doesn't care who she follows, because both sides are close people.

Mu Nanzhi raised her head sharply, looked at Xu Qi'an: "You"

Xu Qi'an led the little mare and continued to walk forward, saying:

"Knowing that you are bored, you will be happier if you have a kid by your side."

Then, he complained angrily:

"Really, I will go back to my mother's house (in the capital) when I am wronged, hypocritical woman."

After a pause, he whispered:

"When the world is peaceful, you don't have to follow me in exile. Give me a little more time, it won't be too long."

Mu Nanzhi turned her head away again, her eyes crooked.

The sky in the Western Regions is clear and blue, and the landforms are a bit rougher than those in the Central Plains.

The majestic goshawk soars under the blue sky, on the rolling meadow wilderness, the melodious chirping of cattle and sheep, and the snow-capped peaks and jagged red rocks in the distance.

The top of Alando is covered with snow that has not melted for many years, like a white-haired old man, sitting cross-legged on the vast land of the Western Regions.

In the never-ending sound of chanting, Asuro walked through the temples and temples, stepped into the path, and after a while, he came to the cold pool.

Duer Luohan sits cross-legged on the lotus platform, which floats on the water, puts his hands together, and sits in meditation with his eyes closed.

"Guangxian Bodhisattva is contacting Gala Tree Bodhisattva together with Liuli Bodhisattva."

The handsome and handsome Asuro said in a deep voice.

What the three bodhisattvas were talking about must be the loss of southern Xinjiang and the follow-up strategic plan of Buddhism.

Du Er Luohan opened his eyes, pondered for a while, and said:

"Go to Zhenmojian and find out if King Shura's body is still there. I will go to the Zen forest to meet the Buddha."
