Chapter Eighty-Six: The Incarnation of Soldiers
After leaving St. Paul's Cathedral, Qi Xuansu didn't say anything.
There are some things that Strawney doesn't have to know.
Although St. York was under the watchful eye of a patriarch, there was no need to pay too much attention to it. After all, Yujing was still under the gaze of several Daomen immortals, and in the end let the Gu Immortals sneak in.
The fact that the gods and immortals can keep an eye on everything does not mean that they are willing to do so, nor that they are so idle.
For example, Lan Dazhen, Thang Long Mansion is still under his gaze, and he doesn't know anything about the old man? I was almost taken out of my nest.
After returning to Strawney's mansion, Qi Xuansu set a ban to isolate the inside and outside, and then took out the "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fans".
Wu Niang, Qi Niang.
At first glance, I thought the two were sisters.
However, Qi Niang does not suffer, after all, Wu Niang is a person who is hundreds of years old, and it is older than the three major yin things.
Wu Niang appeared in front of Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu informed Wu Niang of his thoughts.
Wu Niang did not object: "It's not impossible, I can hand over the control of my body to you, and I only exist as a bystander. Of course, when necessary, the two of us can also be interchanged, i.e. I take control of the body, and you become a bystander. You are the boss, the authority is in your hands, you have the final say."
Qi Xuansu was not humble: "That's it."
"Use your military tactics." Wu Niang waved the sleeves of her robe, "I will fully cooperate."
The words fell, and Wu Niang slowly disappeared.
As early as Borneo, Qi Xuansu had experienced the means of creating and transforming the scattered people in advance through the pages of the "Xirui Sutra".
I saw that the "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fans" itself began to change, and gradually changed into another Qi Xuansu's appearance.
However, this Qi Xuansu and Wu Niang are dressed in the same way, with a star crown and a feather coat, and the appearance of an ancient Taoist priest.
"It's not going to work, we'll have to fine-tune it." Qi Xuansu came to this incarnation of the soldier and stroked his face with his fingers.
With Qi Xuansu's movements, this incarnation also began to change, gradually changing from an Oriental appearance to a Western appearance, but it was not Qi Xuansu's current disguise, but a head full of white hair, wrinkles, and no beard.
The clothing was changed to the clothing of Western adventurers. The crown became a hat, not a top hat favored by gentlemen, but a soft felt hat. The robe was transformed into a knee-length tunic with no waistcoat underneath, only a slightly dirty blue striped shirt, bib pants, leather boots with spurs, riding gloves, and an outer belt with a cuff on the left and right. No pocket watches, no handkerchiefs, no brooches, no rings, nothing unnecessary.
Typical outlaw look.
"What's the name?" Qi Xuansu thought for a moment, "Let's call it Hosea, Hosea Matthews. Assemble two more muskets and a bullet belt."
That's enough.
In an instant, Qi Xuansu's consciousness split into two and began to gradually control this incarnation.
This is different from beheading three corpses, this is Qi Xuansu himself, one self, two bodies, even if he talks, it is equivalent to talking to himself.
However, unlike the normal incarnation of military liberation, there is another bystander in Qi Xuansu's incarnation of military liberation, which is Wu Niang.
It was precisely because of the existence of Wu Niang that Qi Xuansu felt the power far beyond the deity in the incarnation.
Pseudo-immortal stage.
This is the power of the Great Palm Sect's immortal "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fans".
Qi Xuansu allowed the deity to remain in Strawney's mansion, and the avatar named Hosea Matthews left the place in a puff of smoke, blending into the billowing steam outside.
Soon, Qi Xuansu wandered out of the rich district of Richmond, or the aristocratic district, to the civilian area.
He regrouped into human form in an uninhabited alley, leaving the alley and walking down the streets of the civilian area.
Suddenly, Qi Xuansu found that Wu Niang appeared beside him and walked side by side with him.
Wu Niang is still a female crown
。
Qi Xuansu was slightly taken aback, but before he could open his mouth to ask, Wu Niang had already taken the initiative to explain, "From now on, we share our senses, and I only exist in your sea of consciousness, which is illusory. In other words, no one but you can perceive my presence, and you are the only one who can talk to me."
"Understood." Qi Xuansu nodded slightly and continued to move forward.
Compared with the quiet rich area, the civilian area is much more lively, with people coming and going, rubbing shoulders.
Priests can also be seen in the civilian quarters, of course, not the pampered bishops, but some low-level clergy, who find a random box to put their feet on, stand on it, and begin to preach to passers-by, and from time to time some people stop to listen.
At this point, there is an ordinary priest preaching the dangers of arcane and magic to passers-by.
The power of arcane has been abused by humans, corrupting people's hearts, depleting resources, and tearing civilizations apart.
Qi Xuansu listened for a while, and was quite disapproving: "This set of rhetoric can be applied to anything, Dao arts, divine arts, creation, machinery, steam, anything that is abused will have problems. It's all about people. Rather, he said that human desires have no end, and although they are clichés, they are the truth."
Wu Niang sneered: "People are used to shirking responsibility, not to say that it is the fault of other things, do they admit that it is their own fault? I don't teach the children well, I blame the teacher, the environment, the Xuan Shengpai, the script, and the children are stupid and rebellious, but I don't blame myself."
Qi Xuansu suddenly thought of Xiao Yin: "You're right."
The two continued on their way, looking for a way to the lower town.
It was not as beautiful as the Holy See proclaimed, and even in the civilian quarters, there was no shortage of homeless people, and the heavy labor was overwhelming, seriously damaging to health, always with a tired look, and the meager income made the people here always anxious and undignified.
If only one Zhongcheng District is used as a specimen, it can cover everything, then Daomen uses Yujing as a specimen, isn't it a fairyland everywhere in the world?
Qi Xuansu continued to talk to Wu Niang: "From the perspective of a saint, it is natural to hope that the world will be harmonious and everyone will be well. But that's not realistic. From the enemy's point of view, the more corrupt the upper echelons of St. York, the more miserable the lower the levels, the better it is for us, and if one day we can destroy it, or take it, wouldn't we have done a good thing?"
Wu Niang did not echo Qi Xuansu's statement, but sneered: "More importantly, this will become your great achievement and leave a name in history."
Qi Xuansu half-jokingly said, "If the name can be hung on the bamboo silk, the eldest husband will die without regrets."
Wu Niang sighed: "But then again, Heavenly Street is full of the bones of the princess, and the inner library is burned to splendid ashes, isn't it a happy thing?"
"Your thoughts are dangerous, and that's not appropriate." Qi Xuansu said, "The Daomen is no longer the Daomen of the Yellow Turban Uprising back then, who is the Gongqing you are talking about?"
Wu Niang was a little surprised: "Vigilance is very high, Qi Zhenren."
Qi Xuansu's expression was calm: "Trouble comes from the mouth, if you are not vigilant, it is easy to be pulled off the horse by others."
Wu Niang appeared on the other side of Qi Xuansu again: "But this is not the territory of the Daomen."
Qi Xuansu asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Let's ......," Wu Niang pointed around, "Burn St. York to ashes!"
Qi Xuansu can see that Wu Niang is cold on the surface, and no one is allowed to enter, but she is actually born with a fire life, and she seems to be very interested in burning, such as that poem, it doesn't matter if you step on the bones of the princess or not, the key is to burn to ashes.
The flame is burning.
Qi Xuansu stopped arguing with Wu Niang, pushed the door and walked into a tavern.
It was noisy and filled with the smell of low-quality alcohol mixed with the smell of sweat.
Qi Xuansu walked straight to the counter, and behind there, there was a fat "behemoth", like a small mountain of meat.
As a Jianghu person, Qi Xuansu directly squeezed out of the others, put his elbows on the counter, and behaved rudely, this is not an upper class society, this is the norm.
After the few people who were squeezed out of the way saw the bright fire gun on Qi Xuansu's waist, they all wisely chose to calm down.
"What's the matter?" Bartenders have become accustomed to this behavior.
Qi Xuansu got straight to the point: "I want to go to Xiacheng District."
"What are you going to do there?"
"It has nothing to do with you."
"Outlander?"
"It's irrelevant."
"I don't know."
"How much?"
"What did you say?"
"Give me a good word."
The bartender stopped wiping his glass: "Five gold crowns."
Qi Xuansu frowned: "It's just pointing the way."
"That's the price." The bartender continued to wipe the glass in his hand, "No bargain."
Qi Xuansu didn't care about the five gold crowns, but he didn't want to look like a wronged head and a fat sheep, which would not bring danger, but would cause trouble.
Of course, Qi Xuansu, as a temporary pseudo-immortal, is not difficult to escape from heaven and earth, and he can sneak in with his own skills, but he doesn't know if there will be some special vigilance and prohibition there, and the city has a patriarch, so he still wants to enter the dungeon through some more normal ways, trying not to attract the attention of the steam gospel.
This kind of black market access naturally violates the laws of St. York, but it does not attract the attention of high-ranking clergy.
Qi Xuansu asked, "Can it be guaranteed to be reliable?"
"Of course." The bartender lowered his voice, "This was originally a tunnel used for smuggling, but it was discovered a few years ago, and the city council ordered the tunnel to be blown up. But then someone dug it up again, and if you want to take it away, it's still okay to leave."
Qi Xuansu pretended to hesitate and thought for a moment, and finally took out five gold kroners - there are bits and pieces, revealing the taste of scarcity, but it can also avoid a lot of trouble, after all, wealth is not exposed.
Qi Xuansu did not forget to hold down the grip of the handcuff on his waist, and added another threat: "If something goes wrong......
"Full refund guaranteed." The bartender put away a handful of change, "Follow me."
