Chapter 160: The Strange Beasts of Kyushu
After the death of King Huai, I took advantage of the chaos to take the soul pill, brought it back to the capital, and gave it to Your Majesty ......." Que Yongxiu's soul replied honestly.
No wonder Yang Yan said that when the blood sacrificed to the people, the essence blood floated up and turned into a blood pill, and the soul went into the ground, but there was no trace afterwards, it turned out to be stolen by Que Yongxiu in the chaos..........
Xu Qi'an suddenly realized, he thought that the Soul Pill was taken away by the head of the Earth Sect, but he didn't expect it to enter the pocket of Emperor Yuanjing.
"So, the head of the earth sect participated in this matter for the so-called "evil", well, the king of Zhenbei and the head of the earth sect have a certain cooperation, I don't know if Emperor Yuan Jing will also be in the eye with the head of the earth sect?
"That's not good, if that's the case, then I'm going to pay attention to my identity. When it was 1v5 that day, the head of the earth sect noticed that I had the breath of fragments of the book from the ground.
"He knows that the mysterious master in Chuzhou is the holder of the fragment of the Book of the Ground, so when guarding the nine-colored golden lotus, I will erase all traces of "Xu Qi'an".
"Xu Qi'an is in Chuzhou, and a mysterious master has appeared in Chuzhou, and he has the smell of fragments of books from the ground. That doesn't mean much. However, what if Xu Qi'an is also the holder of the fragment of the Book from the Ground? ”
Thinking of this, Xu Qi'an asked again: "Is there any secret collusion between Emperor Yuan Jing and the head of the Earth Sect?"
Que Yongxiu replied: "I don't know ......"
"What does Emperor Yuanjing do when he refines the Soul Pill?"
"I don't know ........"
I don't know, I don't know, what do I want you to do?" Xu Qi'an was a little angry, pondered for a long time, and asked extremely seriously:
"Do you have any unknown inheritance, or silver?"
Que Yongxiu confessed honestly: "No." ”
Although the Protector Mansion is in the capital, Que Yongxiu has been operating in Chuzhou for many years, and even if he has private money or something, it is also in Chuzhou.
Well, the Protector's Mansion will definitely be raided, otherwise I can't give an explanation to the dukes, but it's a pity that I'm not a watchman now, and I can't participate in the raiding activities, otherwise I'll get rich.......... Xu Qi's mouth ached.
"Cao Guogong, do you have any unknown properties?" Xu Qi'an looked at Cao Guogong again.
"I have thirteen private residences in the capital, raising foreign affairs and luan children, three of which are idle, and one of the idle three is used by me to store some treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and silver taels. ”
Treasures and antiques are not stored at home, but stored outside, and these things are not visible......... What a hateful corrupt official.......... Xu Qi'an was surprised and criticized at the same time.
"Where are the land deeds and house deeds of those private houses?" Xu Qi'an asked again.
"The house I used to store my antiques and treasures, the title deed and the house deed are in the house, and the rest are in the Guogong Mansion. Cao Guogong replied.
Damn, twelve private houses have left me......... Xu Qi'an's heart sank, and an indescribable sense of sadness swelled up.
At the same time, he became more and more curious about the private house used to store treasures and antiques. The title deed and title deed were left in the private house, not in the Guogong Mansion, which means that Cao Guogong completely cut off the private house from himself and the Guogong Mansion.
No matter which side goes wrong, it won't make the two sides connected.
After the questioning, in order to retain some expectations, he did not ask what treasures were in Cao Guogong's private residence.
Taking the two souls back into the sachet, Xu Qi'an walked out of the secret room and went to visit the three companions of the Heaven and Earth Society, who belonged to different rooms.
Xu Qi'an was the first to come to Li Miaozhen's room and knocked on the door.
Chirping........ The door opened, and a face that captivated the country and the city poked out, it was Xu Qi'an's paper man's wife.
"Smack!"
She then closed the door again.
After a few more minutes, the door opened again, Li Miaozhen was sitting at the table neatly dressed, and Chu Caiwei was packing up ointment, gauze, medicine pots and other items.
Was it just a dressing change........ Xu Qi'an quietly glanced at Li Miaozhen and asked with concern, "It's okay." ”
Waiting for Li Miaozhen to nod, he said: "Emperor Yuanjing issued an edict of guilt and promised not to embarrass you, so you don't have to leave Beijing prematurely." ”
In fact, even if he doesn't forgive you, you won't be scared. The Dao Head of the Heavenly Sect is an existence of the same level as the Supervisor.
Give Emperor Yuan Jing ten dares, and he won't dare to really kill you.
It's good to have "Dad" to support you......... Xu Qi'an sighed in his heart.
It's no wonder that when he used to be, those villains who had backers always liked to jump up and down, arrogant and arrogant, if they hadn't been unlucky enough to meet the protagonist, ordinary people would really be helpless against them.
"Is there anything else?" asked Li Miaozhen with a frown.
Why do you look like you want to drive me away, do I affect you Sanfang Tangerine? Xu Qi'an complained in his heart and said with a smile:
"Soul Pill, I want to know what Soul Pill is for. ”
When Li Miaozhen heard this, she looked at him with a puzzled expression, as if to say: Didn't Daoist Jinlian tell you.
Xu Qi'an lowered his voice, "I channeled Que Yongxiu's soul just now, and I learned from him that it was not the head of the Earth Sect who needed the soul pill, but Emperor Yuan Jing. ”
Li Miaozhen's pupils seemed to shrink.
Xu Qi'an continued: "According to what the Golden Lotus Daoist said, it seems that the Soul Pill is not enough for him to do such a heart-wrenching thing, but it is true, so I suspect that the Soul Pill may have other unknown uses. ”
Li Miaozhen pondered for a long time and shook her head slowly.
At this time, Chu Caiwei was curious: "Is it the kind of soul pill that is refined with souls?"
Xu Qi'an turned to look at her, and with a questioning gaze and tone, he asked, "You know?"
This is not like Chu Caiwei, and the big-eyed cute girl is not like a studious person who will read books in other fields in addition to medical skills.
Chu Caiwei said: "When Senior Brother Song was doing research a few days ago, he said that the Soul Pill might be able to fuse the body and soul he refined, but it was just a guess, after all, the Soul Pill was too cherished, and the refining conditions were harsh.
"It's impossible for him to kill people for alchemy, and the prison teacher will be the first to kill him. Well, I heard Senior Brother Song say that there is a record of the Soul Pill in the library on the eighth floor of the Stargazing Tower. ”
Xu Qi'an and Li Miaozhen immediately said, "Take us there." ”
"This ........"
Chu Caiwei showed a look of embarrassment: "The Library Pavilion is the forbidden place of Si Tianjian, only the disciples in the sect can enter, and they must first obtain the consent of the supervisor teacher or Senior Brother Yang." I can't take you in, or you'll be punished. ”
Li Miaozhen was suddenly a little deflated.
Xu Qi'an stepped forward and patted Cai Wei's fragrant shoulder: "What do you want to eat these days, just tell my brother to satisfy you." ”
Chu Caiwei smiled: "I'll take you there." ”
Li Miaozhen was stunned: "You're not afraid of being punished?"
"Oops, it's all trivial. ”
“........”
The three of them entered the library pavilion, but Chu Caiwei couldn't remember what the book that recorded the soul pill was called and where it was placed.
Rows of bookshelves fill a huge space, and trying to find relevant records in them is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
"I, I'll ask Senior Brother Song......." Chu Caiwei stuck out the tip of her tongue and jumped away.
Li Miaozhen and Xu Qi'an had black faces and searched aimlessly.
Suddenly, Xu Qi'an was attracted by an ancient book: "Kyushu Strange Beasts Chapter 1".
It is recorded in the book that the alien beasts are the descendants of ancient gods and demons, and how many types of ancient demon gods there are, according to the alien beasts of later generations, you can spy on one or two.
The largest number and the most widespread reproduction is "Jiao", which is mentioned in the book that Jiao's distant ancestor is a kind of god and demon called "Dragon".
Another example is the strange beast that appeared in the legend of Yunzhou, which came from overseas, and the wind and thunder were raging between breaths, and the torrential rain was raging, and the distant ancestor may be a god and demon called "Qilin".
Xu Qi'an flipped through them one by one, and was stunned to find an "old friend", Linglong.
What is the distant ancestor of the spirit dragon, there is no evidence, it was first recorded in history, it was in the period of the ancient emperor, and it was the mount of the human emperor to conquer all over the world.
Riding the wind and waves, he is one of the overlords in the water.
"That's not right, just the posture shown by the licking dog dragon doesn't look like a water overlord at all........" Xu Qi'an complained in his heart.
Puzzled, he continued to look down, and he saw something different.
Huaiqing told him that the spirit dragon likes to eat purple gas, so he chased the royal family and became the companion spirit animal of the royal family. For the royal family, it is also a symbol of human orthodoxy.
But the book says that Linglong also has an ability, which is to swallow the qi of the dynasty and make the dynasty's national glory more extended.
When the qi of a dynasty is like a fire cooking oil, it will usher in weakness, and the spirit dragon can swallow the luck, the luck is too strong to devour, and the luck is weak, then spit out.
Let the dynasty's qi always have a level of flatness.
Luck balancer?!
Xu Qi'an flashed this word in his mind.
This, when I first crossed over, I doubted that the dynastic qi of this world did not match the "three-hundred-year law" that I had studied in the literature of the stall.
At the time, I thought it was a factor in the existence of extraordinary powers, but now it seems that it is the existence of the spirit dragon?
Just thinking about it, Chu Caiwei returned in a bouncing and said crisply: "That book is called "Qi Danlu", in the second place, the third shelf, the second grid, I will help you get it." ”
Xu Qi'an gathered his thoughts, followed behind Chu Caiwei, and watched her pull out a book from the third bookshelf and the second compartment of the second place: "Qi Danlu".
The result was disappointing, the role of the Soul Pill, the Golden Lotus Dao Master had basically been summarized, and there was no omission.
As a Dao Sect veteran, it is indeed impossible for the Golden Lotus Dao Master to miss the role of the Soul Pill, that is to say, either the Soul Pill is just a disguise, or one of the functions that the Soul Pill has is very important, but we have not noticed it........... Xu Qi'an thought to himself.
He decided that if he had the opportunity to ask Luo Yuheng for advice, he would at least tell Luo Yuheng about this matter and let her stare at Emperor Yuan Jing.
Of course, before that, he had to ask the Golden Lotus Daoist first.
"The kind aunt is not familiar with me, whether she can believe it or not, it has to be checked by the Golden Lotus Daoist........," Xu Qian said.
Well, tomorrow I will go to Cao Guogong's private house first, and the day after tomorrow I will go to Yunlu Academy to pick up the second uncle and aunt, and then contact the head of Jinlian Daoist and ask if my aunt can believe it.
Also, the wife and princess have to be taken back, and you can't keep her outside, tsk, there are so many bad things.........
............
Night.
The moonlight is like frost, gilding the surface of the lake with a shallow, soft glow.
The spirit dragon was lying on the shore, listless, sometimes snorting, sometimes slapping its tail, stirring up water waves, stirring up craggy waves.
A figure came from the darkness and stopped in front of the spirit dragon.
He leaned over, touched Linglong's thick mane, and sighed: "The case of King Huai's slaughter of the city has finally been made public, and I have not been able to change the outcome or save the face of the royal family." ”
The spirit dragon snorted lazily, which was regarded as a response to the man.
He continued: "The loss of face of the royal family means that the hearts and minds of the people have been lost, and the loss of the hearts of the people means that the luck has been dispersed again. I did want to lose my luck, but it was beyond the limits of what I could handle.
"Like you, I'm trying to maintain balance, no more, no less. But those people outside are too ignorant, and Wei Yuan is even more ignorant, and he has repeatedly rebelled. ”
He stopped stroking, pressed his palm on the center of Linglong's eyebrows, and his voice was gentle and indifferent: "Give back some of the luck I have stored with you." ”
In the big eyes of the spirit dragon's black buttons, hatred and resistance flashed, but after all, he didn't do anything, and let him grab his luck.
.............
The next day, early in the morning.
Zaza........
In the sound of the stone door slowly opening, Xu Qi'an shouted towards the dark underground, "Senior Sister Zhong, I'm here to pick you up." ”
Soon after, wrapped in a cloth robe and a bell glass with a cloak on his head, he slowly climbed the stone steps.
She held her head high, and between her messy hair, her watery eyes were beating with joy.
It has been a month and a half since Xu Qi'an went north.
"You've improved your cultivation again. Zhong Li whispered.
"You're still the same. Xu Qi'an pressed his palm on her head.
Zhong Li slapped it open.
He pressed it again.
Zhong Li slapped it away again.
"Then you go back. Xu Qi'an said angrily.
Zhong Li relented and let the man who called him senior sister touch her head.
He took Zhong Li and Li Miaozhen, the paper man's wife, and Chu Yuanzhen, two groups of people stepped on the flying sword, and with a bang, they rushed up from the gossip platform and flew towards Yunlu Academy.
"Why do you want to get involved?" Xu Qi'an said indignantly.
"Four people with a sword, how crowded it is, can't I take you for a ride?"
Chu Yuanzhen innocently explained, does this person have no conscience, he has not recovered from his injuries, so he acts as a "coachman" and takes him to Yunlu Academy.
Instead of thanking, he blamed himself.
Sensing Chu Yuanzhen's displeasure, Xu Qi'an sighed, and it was not good to show his obscene thoughts too nakedly, so he said helplessly:
"I just want to reminisce about the feeling of squeezing the subway, I miss it. ”
"What is Brother Tie?"
"You don't need to know this........."
...........
The gentlemen of Yunlu Academy have been very unhappy in the past two days, and even impetuous.
Because there is always a couple who don't know how to lift, and when they catch them, they say, "Teach your children."
Teach your mother!!
The gentlemen roared in their hearts.
That kid They know that the little girl of the Xu family, Xu Ningyan and Xu Ci's old sister, are very angry.
Unexpectedly, she came to the academy to study again.
There are more than a dozen gentlemen in the academy who are rich and wealthy, teaching the art of war, scriptures, righteousness, etc., it stands to reason that teaching a child to enlightenment is not easy?
But some people are always gifted, and they think differently from ordinary people. What works for ordinary people is not suitable for them.
Xu Lingyin is the kind of child who is very talented.
Taking advantage of the void and resisting the wind, the green mountains under the feet are like daisies, and the official road is long, it only took two quarters of an hour for Xu Qi'an to come to Qingyun Mountain.
He glanced down and saw a child lying in the dry grass by the pavilion near the academy, with his hair tied in a bun like a meat bun.
"I saw Xu Lingyin, go down. ”
Chu Yuan obeyed, lowered the flying sword, and landed on the side of the pavilion.
Xu Lingyin lay on the ground, asleep, covered in broken leaves and grass clippings.
Xu Qi'an went up and shook her awake, and said angrily: "If you lie here and sleep again, I will call your mother to beat you." ”
"It's a cauldron......"
Xu Lingyin bravely maintained a posture of four tilts and eight forks, ignoring the threat of the eldest brother.
"I went out with Master to hunt game, and Master disappeared after playing, and I was tired, so I slept for a while. Xu Lingyin explained clearly.
Then, with a small brow, he added: "I'm not afraid of my mother beating me." ”
Xu Qi'an sneered: "You're not afraid of your mother's beating, aren't you afraid that your father will whip you with a bamboo strip?"
Xu Lingyin's eyes widened, her hands covered her little buttocks, and she said in shock: "Cauldron, my picture seems to be starting to hurt." ”
"What is Tu'er?" Xu Qi'an picked her up like a chicken and walked to the top of the mountain.
"Tu'er is the ass, my new word. Xiao Douding finally found an opportunity to educate his eldest brother, "Do you know?" ”
"That's the buttocks. ”
"Tu'er. ”
"Butt!!"
Fig. "Xiao Douding read it again, is there any problem?
.........
PS: I'm in a bad state today, I can't write anything while sitting down, it's not that I don't have anything to write, there are still a lot of plots. It's that my own brain is confused, and I can't write quickly. I'm sorry.
If the next chapter hasn't been updated after 12 o'clock, then leave it until tomorrow to make it up.
