Nightwatcher

The clear spring breeze howled into the tea room. Two straight men sat facing each other, with a square tea table in between.

"call"

Wei Yuan gently blew away the heat rising from the cup, took a sip of the clear tea, and his face was full of intoxication:

"Fragrant and sweet, the lingering fragrance lingers around the teeth. I never thought I could drink tea from the flower god in this life. It's worth it."

Your life is too cheap, isn't it? Xu Qi'an cursed, and said with a smile:

"Knowing that Wei Gong likes to drink tea, I specially brought a couple of filial piety."

In fact, it was Chen Cha, who was left by Mu Nanzhi before.

Wei Yuan nodded in satisfaction and sighed:

"The leader of the flowers, the country is beautiful and heavenly, Mu Nanzhi is a unique and stunning beauty in the world, following you without a name, it is considered wronged.

"Luo Yuheng is now a land god, does she agree with you to marry His Highness Lin'an?"

Xu Qi'an didn't expect that the first thing he cared about when the two met was his own lifelong event.

He sighed:

"They are not fuel-efficient lamps. I have a headache when I mention this matter. What advice does Mr. Wei have?"

Wei Yuan put down the teacup in his hand and looked at him expressionlessly.

Ah, this. Xu Qi'an immediately understood that what he said was inappropriate, just as he was about to let out a hey, to get off the topic, Wei Yuan said indifferently:

"Equilibrium exists in all things."

Xu Qi'an was thoughtful.

Wei Yuan put his hands on the desk, with a smile on his face:

"Your Majesty has already told me in detail what happened after my death. You did a good job."

Xu Qi'an opened his mouth to say a few words of modesty, Wei Yuan said with a smile:

"I didn't expect that when you were at the fourth rank, you would be able to block the 200,000 Witch God Sect's army alone with one sword. It can be seen that it is not a fluke to be promoted to the first rank of martial arts, it is really a god."

You are retaliating for my wrong words just now, you are already perfect now Xu Qi'an murmured in his heart and said awkwardly:

"It's all rumored by the world."

He stopped talking, picked up the teacup and took a sip, implying that Wei Yuan had left the topic.

"The princes in the court are arguing about how to deal with Yunzhou, what do you think?" Wei Yuan asked.

"I don't care about government affairs." Xu Qi'an added a word first, and then said:

"All soldiers with armor were assassinated and sent to the army, and all Yunzhou officials and gentry families who supported the rebels ransacked their homes."

This is not his opinion, but his speculation based on his knowledge of Huai Qing.

Assassination and embezzlement is a common practice, and it is a routine operation. As for officials and gentry, they can just use the name of beating local tyrants to deprive them of their money and fields, so as to appease the common people and alleviate the shortage of money and food in the court.

After chatting for a while, Wei Yuan said seriously:

"Do you know where my soul returns after my death?"

Xu Qi'an shook his head.

"When I went out to fight that day, Zhao Shou paid a big price and gave me a chance of life. Originally, after I died, the carving knife and the Confucian crown would bring back my soul, but only brought back a wisp of remnant soul." Wei Wei Yuan said helplessly: "It was the witch god who took away my two souls, heaven and earth, and sealed them in the stone statue. I still underestimated the super grade, even if he can only seep out a little power."

Xu Qi'an's heart sank.

Wei Yuan glanced at him, nodded and said:

"That's right, after my soul returned, the Confucian saint's power loosened again, and the witch god began to attack the seal again.

"The seal was strengthened by me. It was my combination with the power of Confucian saints. Therefore, when the witch god detained my soul, he wanted to use me to open a hole for him."

Seeing Xu Qi'an frowning tightly, he explained:

"Besides, Your Majesty personally summoned my soul, which loosened the power of the Confucian Sage. In the whole world, except you, she is the only one who can break the Confucian Sage's seal."

Wizards know how to tell fortunes, did the wizard gods figure out that I would revive Wei Yuan? Xu Qi'an didn't expect that summoning Wei Yuan's soul would have such a serious sequelae.

The Witch God is one of the three super-classes in the world, and his cultivation reaches heaven and earth. If he breaks free from the seal, it's no joke.

etc! His heart moved, and he murmured:

"Since summoning Wei Gong's soul will loosen the seal of the witch god, how can the supervisor agree to this?"

"Don't ask me everything, use your own brain." Wei Yuan glanced at him, "Now you are the true patron saint of Dafeng, and you surpass me and the supervisor in terms of combat power and reputation."

"But I'm just a vulgar martial artist." Xu Qi'an reflected on himself. When Wei Yuan was around, he was always too lazy to use his brain and asked questions when he didn't understand.

Wei Yuan said:

"Remember the "suicide note" I left you, I once told you"

Said that you have been thinking about the Queen Mother since you were a teenager? Xu Qi'an looked calm and asked:

"Kyushu is far more cruel than I imagined?"

Wei Yuan put down the teacup with a serious face:

"At the end of last summer, the Witch God Sect attempted to erode the territory in the north, and based on this, they went south to annex Dafeng.

"Zhao Shou came to me at that time and said that before the Confucian sage died, he left a handwritten letter, saying that he was born at the right time and wanted to eliminate a disaster for the world.

"It was only then that I learned that Confucian saints sealed Gu God, Witch God and Buddha successively more than 1,200 years ago.

"I finally understand why the Witch God Sect wants to erode the monster territory. They want to expand their territory, gather luck, and help the Witch God break free from the seal of Confucian saints. Once the Witch God breaks the seal, the Central Plains will be in the Witch God Sect's pocket."

Xu Qi'an nodded slowly:

"Yes, the Gu God is still sealed in the southern border. The Buddha's situation is the most complicated, but he can't escape. At that time, if the Wu God Sect successfully conquers the northern border, the Wu God is the most likely to be the first to break free from the seal."

As he came into contact with more and more secrets of the ancient times, he now understood why Wei Yuan wanted to seal the witch god despite his death.

Without the battle of Jingshan City in the Autumn Period, perhaps the Wushen would be out of trouble now, or even already out of trouble.

"Does Wei Gong know the reason why Confucian saints seal super grades?" Xu Qi'an asked.

Wei Yuan nodded:

"Your Majesty has already told me the reason for the end of the gods and demons, and that the White Emperor went to the southern border to have a dialogue with the Gu gods. As expected, the disaster that Confucian saints refer to should be related to the fall of the gods and demons back then."

Xu Qi'an touched his chin:

"Gods and demons kill each other to death. Except for super-level creatures like Gu God who survived, gods and demons have basically disappeared in ancient times."

And even the Gu God survived by luck.

Because there were still gods and demons comparable to the Gu God at that time, the difference in fate between them and the Gu God may be due to the Gu God's good luck.

No, it's not that the Gu God is lucky, but that he has the ability to see a corner of the future. Xu Qi'an grasped the key to the Gu God's survival.

Wei Yuan said:

"So, you should understand why Jianzheng not only didn't prevent you from resurrecting me, but instead participated in it."

"Equilibrium exists among all things." Xu Qi'an answered him in Wei Yuan's words.

Jianzheng's idea is to use witch gods to check and balance Buddha and Gu gods. The basis for this guess is that gods and demons killed each other before they fell collectively.

Wei Yuan sighed:

"So I guessed a long time ago that the actions of the Witch God Cult will stimulate the Buddhist sect and force the Buddhist sect to form an alliance with Yunzhou, and the Witch God Cult is mostly sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, wishing that the three parties would fight to the death."

In the kit he left to Nangong Qianrou, it clearly mentioned the Yunzhou Army and the monks of the Western Regions.

"What guesses do Wei Gong have about the truth about the ancient gods and demons killing each other?"

This doubt has troubled Xu Qi'an for a long time.

"It's not mentioned in the manuscript left by the Confucian sages. This matter is mostly related to the secrets of heaven, so it can't be leaked. Today, there are only a handful of people who know the secrets." Wei Yuan shook his head.

"And what about the gatekeeper?"

Xu Qi'an said in a probing tone.

Wei Yuan glanced at the empty teacup, and Xu Qi'an filled it up tactfully, then he nodded in satisfaction and said:

"Since it's called a gatekeeper, no matter what the "gate" refers to, it must not allow entry or exit. Considering the secrets of the ancient gods and demons killing each other, which one do you think is more likely?"

Don't give up. Xu Qi'an is thoughtful.

"The rebel army in Yunzhou is over, and the people can recuperate, but the peace is short-lived, and the real catastrophe is coming." Wei Yuan sighed:

"Qi luck is something that super-grades must compete for. There are Buddhas in the Western Regions, witch gods in the northeast, and Gu gods in the southern border. Only the northern border and the Central Plains have no super-grades. If they all break free from the seal, the first to fight and deal with it must be. It is the Central Plains.

"The persimmons are picky and soft, and children understand this. After the Central Plains are eaten, the competition between super products will really start.

"You are now a rank one martial artist, but there is still a big gap between you and a super rank. Have you thought about how to deal with it?"

Xu Qi'an had already considered accordingly:

"Arranging flowers first, let's first consider how to advance to a half-step martial god, just like Shenshu. There has never been a martial god since ancient times. I can't pin my hopes on becoming a martial god, so I have to form an alliance with Shenshu.

"The two half-step Martial Gods should be able to barely compete against Super Grade, right? That would be considered self-protection. It's a pity that I couldn't rescue Jian Zheng."

Although the Destiny Master's combat power is mediocre, the most powerful supervisor is his ability to deploy. If the supervisor is still there, Xu Qi'an is willing to be his thug.

Wei Yuan nodded and said:

"Come here first today. By the way, Qianrou brought a woman back from Yunzhou. Go and have a look."

Xu Qi'an's expression turned weird instantly, he was silent for a moment, and said:

"good!"

He left Haoqi Building and went to Houya's housing area instead.

The watchman's yamen is divided into two parts, the front yard is the office, and the back yard is the rest place. Single dogs like Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou live in the yamen all year round.

Passing through the garden and the courtyard, according to the address Wei Yuan gave, he came to a small courtyard at the edge of the eastern district.

Looking at the gate of the courtyard, Xu Qi'an hesitated for a while, not knowing what kind of mood and attitude he should use to meet the woman inside.
