"National teacher, let's go back first, and when there is new progress, I will inform you, please ........."

Before Xu Qi'an finished speaking, he saw the national teacher turn into golden light and run away, his expression suddenly froze, "Please send us back" and he couldn't spit it out.

Anyway, send us back, I didn't have a little mare with me!

He complained in his heart, and immediately looked at Hengyuan beside him.......... Well, thankfully I didn't bring a mare.

The two climbed out of the high wall of the Earl's Court, and with no one around, they quickly left and entered the street to merge with the flow of people.

Walking to the street entrance, under the archway of Yongan Street, the sundial shows the time of four o'clock in the morning (eight o'clock in the morning).

At the intersection of every main road in the capital, there is a huge archway, and there is a sundial on the side of the archway, which is specially given to the people to see the time.

"It takes about half an hour to go home, I hope Huaiqing doesn't wait... Xu Qi'an muttered in his heart.

In the capital, no matter day or night, it is not allowed to fly the eaves and walk on the wall.

Xu Qi'an doesn't want to attract too much attention, his current prestige is better to keep a low profile, otherwise it will attract the fanatical pursuit of passers-by and cause chaos.

Fortunately, he doesn't wear the errand clothes of the silver gong, and the people won't notice him, most of the time, in fact, people can only remember some obvious features, such as the cultural treasures in Xu Qi'an's previous life, he can't recognize them when he wears clothes.

Besides, the population of the capital is more than 2 million, and it is impossible for everyone to be so lucky to be lucky enough to see Xu Yinluo's heroic appearance.

Many people have never seen Xu Yinluo at all.

As he walked, Xu Qi'an suddenly froze, then looked at Hengyuan with his usual face, and said, "Master, you are trapped underground for more than a month, so let's go back to the health hall to see the old people and children." ”

Hengyuan nodded: "How are they lately?"

Xu Qi'an said calmly: "Although I haven't been to see it, I have always sent people to deliver silver and household items. ”

Hengyuan clasped his hands together and bowed: "Lord Xu is the most kind-hearted person that the poor monk has ever seen, and the poor monk is happy to make friends with Lord Xu." ”

Xu Qi'an returned the gift, and he was also very happy, he could be worshiped by a master with the position of Arhat fruit, and he would benefit a lot in the future.

The amazing and brilliant Chu Yuanzhen, the chivalrous and courageous Holy Maiden of Tianzong, Lina with super talent and infinite strength, Hengyuan with the position of Arhat, and Huaiqing, the eldest daughter of the emperor with unparalleled intelligence.

At most, ten years later, the members of the Heaven and Earth Society may become the pinnacle of power in Kyushu.

Well, the number seven and the eighth did not show up for the time being, and I hope it doesn't disappoint.

The crowd was bustling, seeing Hengyuan leave, Xu Qi'an breathed a sigh of relief, if Hengyuan followed him back to Xu's mansion, Huaiqing's identity as No. 1 would not be hidden.

With Huaiqing's character, let's die together.

...........

Hsu Mansion.

Huaiqing sat in the hall, waiting a little impatiently, and the aunt, who was the housemother, was forced by the strong aura and identity of the eldest daughter of the emperor, and after accompanying her for a while, she went back to the room under the pretext of being unwell.

Xu Lingyue was blocked back by Li Miaozhen, although the eldest lady of the Xu family was more responsible than her mother, but the next thing to talk about involved confidentiality, so it was not good for her to listen.

Li Miaozhen remained skeptical about Huaiqing's claim that there were major doubts in the case. She thinks that her reasoning ability is only below Xu Qi'an, and she is the second person in charge of the investigation of the Tiandi Society.

Finally, they saw Xu Qi'an enter the courtyard, walk through the bluestone slabs, and enter the hall.

As the host, Xu Qi'an glanced at the two chairs of the two, sitting Huaiqing and Li Miaozhen respectively, so he had to sit in the guest seat below and look at the eldest daughter of the emperor:

"What did you find?"

Huaiqing had a few seconds of wording, and his voice was clear: "How can you confirm that the head of the Earth Sect is one qi and three clear." ”

Does this still need to be confirmed? Xu Qi'an was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Huaiqing looked at Li Miaozhen again and asked, "The spell of the Dao Gate can make people split the Yuan Shen, but it is not necessarily transformed into three people. ”

Li Miaozhen didn't need to think about this kind of question, and said:

"One Qi and Three Clears are the pinnacle spells of the Yuan Shen Realm. It allows a person to be divided into three people, and all of them have an independent consciousness, that is, they are separate people, or they can be one.

"If it's just a split of the primordial gods, anyone who cultivates the yin god can do it. But the split primordial spirit is incomplete and incomplete, and cannot be compared with one gas and three clears. ”

Huaiqing was very satisfied with this answer, and turned to look at Xu Qi'an, Qiu Shui's eyes were scorching:

"You said that the Golden Lotus Dao Elder is a remnant soul, which is in line with the situation of the Yuan Shen split. The head of the earth sect may just distinguish good thoughts and evil thoughts, and the so-called one qi and three purifications are just your speculation, and there is no evidence. ”

Xu Qi'an frowned, kept his tone calm, and analyzed:

"Perhaps, the three people who were separated from the head of the Earth Sect have been separated. Well, this is inevitable, otherwise the Golden Lotus Dao Chief would have been found by the Black Lotus a long time ago. ”

Li Miaozhen said: "One gas and three clears can also be independent, and the three people who are not connected do not have to be separated. ”

Xu Qi'an was speechless for a moment, and he remembered the annotation of the head of the Earth Sect on the one gasification and three Qings in the living records of the first emperor.

One person and three people, this is the case.

It can be three people who are completely independent.

Huaiqing continued: "Another point, you said that in the Chuzhou Massacre case, King Huai got the Blood Pill and the Father Emperor got the Soul Pill. But the effect of the soul pill is not enough to make my father risk the disapproval of the world. ”

"Yes, it is precisely because of this that I started to investigate Yuanjing. Xu Qi'an bowed.

"I asked Cai Wei to understand the efficacy of the Soul Pill. It was found that repairing the remnant soul was its strongest effect, and the rest of the effects could not be compared. However, if the head of the Earth Sect and Dao really gasifies and clears the three clears, then it is absolutely impossible for the Yuan Shen to be incomplete.

"What I said is clearer, a master of the second grade of the Daomen, can't he control the technique of one qi and three clearings?"

Xu Qi'an was stunned for a moment, and quickly examined his reasoning, combined with Huaiqing's words:

I fell into a misunderstanding, and after suspecting that another doppelganger of the Earth Sect Dao Head might be hidden in the dragon vein, I connected the clues of the Soul Pill, and naturally thought that the Earth Sect Dao Head refining the Soul Pill was to complete the incomplete soul.......... But I ignored the personality of the second-grade Taoist, the head of the earth sect and the three clears, how could it be that the soul was broken......... But the Golden Lotus Daoist is indeed a remnant soul.........

The chaotic thoughts flashed like a marquee, Xu Qi'an swallowed his saliva, and exhaled:

"This is indeed an irrationality, but just like my suspicion of the Earth Sect Leader, your suspicion is also just a suspicion, and there is no tangible evidence. ”

Huaiqing shook his head, the autumn waves flowed, glanced at the silver gong that was known as a legend, and said:

"There's one more doubt, well, what I think......... The abduction of the population began in Joan of Arc 26, and this is what you found out. ”

Xu Qi'an pondered: "Even if the reigning emperor was the first emperor at that time, but Yuan Jing, as the crown prince, he has the ability to secretly open a secret room in the palace. ”

Huaiqing shook his head slowly, "What I want to say is that Uncle Pingyuan was still very young at that time, very young, and he was in the stage of vigorous growth. He secretly formed a human tooth sub-organization and did shady things for his father. In this, there will definitely be a trade of interests.

But later, his father ascended the throne and became the emperor, and Uncle Pingyuan was still Uncle Pingyuan, whether it was a title or an official position, he did not go further. And it's not that Pingyuan Bo has no ambitions, in order to gain more power, he united with the Liang Party to assassinate the county lord of Pingyang, which is the best evidence.

"Do you think this is reasonable? In other words, you are Pingyuanbo, are you willing? You are doing shady things for the crown prince, and after the crown prince ascended the throne, you are still standing still for more than 20 years. ”

There was a dead silence in the hall.

The atmosphere quietly became heavy, although Li Miaozhen didn't fully understand it, but she could also realize that the case seemed to have reversed. What Huaiqing said was very reasonable, and Xu Qi'an did not object.

Huaiqing took the initiative to break the silence and asked, "What did you find in the underground dragon vein?"

Xu Qi'an told the story of rescuing Hengyuan.

"So, there is indeed a terrifying existence hidden above the dragon vein, but it is not the head of the earth sect?" Li Miaozhen glanced at Huaiqing, and then at Xu Qi'an:

"Who could that be?"

Huaiqing shook his head: "No, it is still uncertain that person is not the head of the Earth Sect, even if the Soul Pill was not given to the head of the Earth Sect, even if there is a suspicion here in Pingyuanbo, we still can't be sure that the existence in the dragon vein is not the head of the Earth Sect." ”

Xu Qi'an thought about it, pinched his eyebrows, and said, "If you want to confirm, it's simple." Hengyuan has seen that guy, and Miaozhen and I have seen Black Lotus. Draw the portrait and let Hengyuan identify it. ”

Li Miaozhen and Huaiqing's eyes lit up.

Xu Qi'an and Li Miaozhen said at the same time: "I won't be danqing." ”

In this regard, Huaiqing should not give in.

The three of them left the inner hall and entered the room, Xu Qi'an diligently poured water and ink, spread out the paper, and pressed the white jade paperweight.

Huaiqing put his sleeve in one hand, held a pen in the other, hung on the paper, and glanced up at Li Miaozhen and Xu Qi'an: "What does he look like?"

He is a mermaid who is half human and half fish, not left and right, not up and down, with a head and a ding.......... Xu Qi'an described: "The face is thin and the nose is very high.........."

In his description, Li Miaozhen added, Huaiqing painted four or five portraits in a row, and finally drew an old man who was seven or eight points similar to the head of the earth sect.

"That's it. ”

Xu Qi'an grabbed the paper, shook his hands, steamed the ink with a gas machine, and while rolling up the portrait, he whispered: "Draw another one, you should be no stranger to that person." ”

Huaiqing was silent for a moment, spread out the paper, and drew a second portrait.

Looking at Xu Qi'an's figure leaving in a hurry, Li Miaozhen frowned and asked, "Who is the second person you painted?"

Huaiqing didn't answer, his face was gloomy and solemn.

............

Dongcheng, Yangshengtang.

Heng Yuan had visited every old man and child, including the poor boy in the dog's skin, and he went back to his room and began to pack his things.

Not much, two monk's robes, a few Buddhist scriptures.

The monks are alone, and they only bow in three or two.

He can't continue to stay here, Emperor Yuan Jing will come back sooner or later, he can't hide from the first day of the new year, and he can't hide from the fifteenth, leave here, and cut off contact with the old people and children, so as to better protect them.

The old clerk stood at the door, trembling and sad.

"I won't leave the capital for the time being, and I plan to go to Xufu to live for a while, not only to have a safer shelter, but also to strengthen Xufu's defense. After the Chuzhou massacre, his situation became extremely bad.......... During this period, I will come back regularly. ”

Hengyuan folded his monk's robe and said in a gentle tone: "Don't worry about the silver, Lord Xu is a kind-hearted person and will bear the expenses of the health hall." ”

In fact, that's what he did.

The old official kept nodding and said sadly: "Master, you have to promise that you don't have to come back." We don't want anything to happen to you again. ”

Hengyuan finished cleaning up his salute, swept past the old clerk, and walked out of the room.

In the courtyard, eight gray-haired old men, supported by children or on crutches, gathered together.

Twelve children arrived, except for the one in the backyard who could no longer walk........

The children looked up at Hengyuan silently with their clean faces and a pair of innocent and bright eyes.

"We're here to send off the Master. ”

An old man said, "Let's go, don't come back, you've helped us too much, I can't bother you anymore." ”

The children did not speak with tears in their eyes.

Hengyuan was silent and saluted.

When I looked up again, I happened to see Xu Qi'an coming in from the gate of the health hall, walking hurriedly.

"Lord Xu?"

Hengyuan greeted him, surprised and surprised.

"Master Hengyuan, you've seen that existence underground, right?"

Seeing Hengyuan nodding, Xu Qi'an unfolded the portrait of the black lotus and stared at the other party with burning eyes: "Is it him?"

Hengyuan stared at it for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's not him!"

Not him......... By the way, Hengyuan has also seen Black Lotus, he also participated in the battle of lotus seeds in Jianzhou, if it was Black Lotus, when he was underground, he should have pointed it out, and I ignored this detail......... Well, it is also possible that the appearance of that clone is different from that of the Black Lotus Dao Chief, after all, the Golden Lotus and the Black Lotus are different..........

Xu Qi'an shook his hand and burned the portrait of Heilian, he unfolded the second portrait painted by Huaiqing, and asked in a strange tone: "Yes, is it him?"

Hengyuan's face suddenly became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "How do you have a portrait of him, this is the person." ”

This........ Xu Qi'an's pupils suddenly widened, and he inexplicably felt that his hairs stood up and his back was cold.

First Emperor!

Huaiqing painted the first emperor!

The existence in the underground dragon vein is the First Emperor!!

At this moment, Xu Qi'an's true feeling is both absurd and reasonable, both shocked and not shocked.

After Huaiqing pointed out two suspicions, he had doubts about the first emperor, so he asked Huaiqing to draw a second image, and Huaiqing really painted a portrait of the first emperor, which means that Huaiqing also doubted the first emperor.

"It turned out that it was not King Huai and Yuanjing who polluted the head of the sect back then, but the first emperor......... Yes, the first emperor mentioned many times that he was obsessed with immortality, and he was the one who had an obsession with immortality. ”

Xu Qi'an slowly walked to the stone table and sat down, one detail after another churning in his mind.

"One gasification and three clearing, three for one person, three for three, one person for three. One person can be three, the first emperor can be the first emperor, can also be the king of Huai, and can be Yuanjing. ”

It turned out that the three of them, father and son, were the same person, so the suspicious Yuan Jing put his heart into King Huai, gave him the Zhenguo sword, and gave him the first beauty of Dafeng, showing trust that did not conform to the emperor's heart. ”

"I remembered that the princess once said that when Yuan Jing first saw her, she showed extreme obsession with her beauty (see chapter 164 of this volume for details).......... No wonder he would be willing to give the princess to King Huai, what if King Huai was also himself?"

"In this way, in the incident of Nanyuan that year, even if King Huai and Yuanjing were not dead, there was a problem, or they were controlled, or they were polluted by the head of the sect, and then they were assimilated by the first emperor and became one person, which is the secret of one person and three people. This is the secret that the head of the earth sect told the first emperor in the first place? After that discussion, they may have begun to plan. ”

"What lies under the dragon vein is the body of the first emperor......... The prison chief knows everything, but he doesn't care about anything, because the person who makes trouble is not the head of the earth sect, but the emperor of Dafeng. No, the prison may have had his plan, but I can't guess. ”

"Uncle Pingyuan has been doing the business of abducting people, but he doesn't dare to ask for credit, this is because he is doing things for the first emperor. He thought he was doing things for the first emperor, not Yuan Jing. ”

"Why does the first emperor need those people? The Chuzhou massacre case has already given me the answer - blood pill and soul pill!"

"The first emperor is not an orthodox Taoist priest, and he can't perfectly control the three clears of one qi, so he leaves hidden dangers for this, such as the mutilation of the original god, so he needs the soul pill to repair the ........."

Xu Qi'an's scalp tingled for a while.

..........

PS: This case is not over yet, Xu Bai only found out part of the truth. Some points that are not explained, the tail of the volume will explain. Well, this volume is almost finished, and there are only about 100,000 words left, and at my update speed, it will only take more than a week.
