Chapter 107: A new home in the suburbs, the treasury silver is stolen
The black and white qi circulated in Qiao Chen'an's body, like two swimming fish intertwined, with a sense of agility, but it was not like ordinary spiritual power, after swimming around Zhou Tian, it must come out of the eyes, it was really miraculous.
It's just that the double pupil is unpredictable, I don't know what kind of miracle it contains, Qiao Chenan doesn't care about it, and lets this black and white qi flow vertically and horizontally in the body, and finally it is like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, entering the lower dantian, and immersing himself in the spiritual power lake, like a fish swinging its tail, like a dragon returning to the abyss, swimming at will.
Although he had almost exhausted his spiritual power this time to be able to refine such a small part of the Qiankun turbidity, he was very happy in his heart, no matter how difficult the process was, he had finally taken the first step towards the Jindan Avenue.
Even, in the eyes of many cultivators, only when they successfully enter the Jindan realm can they be regarded as a monk, and on the road of seeking the Tao, they can only say that they have entered the hall.
Even, there is a saying among the cultivation circles, "Under the golden pill, there are all ants." ”。
And the difference between Qi Refiners and Foundation Cultivators and mortals may just be a matter of how strong and weak this ant is.
When he arrived at the Jindan realm, his mana was as strong as the sea, and his spirit and spirit had reached an unprecedented level.
The "glutinous rice balls" above the dantian are still releasing a steady stream of brilliance to the surroundings, as if the energy contained in them will never be exhausted.
Qiao Chenan gathered his mind and opened his eyes, revealing a pair of dark eyes like ink, and the two essences disappeared in a flash.
He took a long breath, there were still beads of sweat on his forehead, and his face was slightly red, but he wiped it away with his sleeves casually.
After a little cultivation just now, it seems to be like ordinary meditation, but there is more than one kind of danger and difficulty, and if you are not careful, you will have spiritual power to break through the meridians and damage the Dao foundation.
Don't look at the stability of his cultivation at this time, it seems to be a matter of course, but it is accumulated from the experience of coughing up blood hundreds of times before.
On the second day, Qiao Chenan bought a house covering an area of several acres on the bank of the West Lake, near the mountains outside the city, but the price he paid was not much.
After a little inquiry, we found out the reason, this house was originally the residence of a newlywed, but after getting married, a few days later, the two of them drowned in a nearby river while traveling.
After that, the two masters who changed were also not good to die, so there were rumors that this house was a big murderous house, and the master's house was so bad that no one dared to live here anymore, and it was abandoned for more than ten years.
Qiao Chen'an smiled casually when he heard this, he was a cultivator, so he would not be frightened by this rumor, in his opinion, the death of those owners of the house might just be a coincidence. Even if there is really a powerful ghost entrenched in him, he is not afraid, and he will kill him with a spell.
Vermilion gate, copper ring plaque, there is a stone lion on both sides in front of the door to guard, push the door and enter, enter the rockery and strange stones, the flowing water is murmuring, a man-made ditch flows through the soup soup from the courtyard, the only deficiency is that there are more weeds and dead leaves between the walls.
This is not a difficult thing, Qiao Chen thought with peace of mind, find a reason another day, teach Huangfu Xuan a lesson, and then punish him to clean up the courtyard, hehe......
Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at the white fox on his shoulder, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a smile, and Huang Fuxuan felt a chill when he looked at it.
Qiao Chen'an walked through the two courtyards, and finally found a desirable house, pushed the door in, the house was fully furnished, a landscape screen separated the inside and outside rooms, and the unbeautiful thing was that no one cleaned the dust all year round, and there were layers of cobwebs in the corners of the walls.
I couldn't help frowning slightly.
Huangfu Xuan, who was lying on his shoulder, glanced at him, seemed to see what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Brother Qiao, don't worry, look at me!"
He opened his mouth and exhaled a clear breath visible to the naked eye, which suddenly became larger, forming a mighty air current, and after a few turns in the room, he picked up the dust cobwebs and spun them out of the window, where they drifted away.
The interior was suddenly renewed.
The white fox showed a look of smugness in his eyes, and glanced at Qiao Chen'an with a shaking head, as if to say Brother Qiao, although your Taoism is higher than mine, but when it comes to the spells in your hand, you are far inferior to me.
Qiao Chen'an's face turned dark, and he was not angry, he just reached out and patted his head, and said with a smile: "Ah Xuan, since your spell is so magical, then the cleaning of this house will be handed over to you......"
The white fox was dumbfounded when he heard this, and almost fell off his shoulder, eager to slap himself, he was idle and had nothing to do in front of Qiao Chen'an, isn't this self-inflicted? !
This night, Qiao Chen'an almost consumed the essence of his whole body, and successfully refined a trace of black and white qi, which merged with the original wisp, exuding bursts of mysterious aura.
Early in the morning of the second day, the sky was bright, the sun was rising, shining golden scales, and the sky was dyed with a touch of red glow.
He came to the college as usual to listen to Mr. Xi's lectures, but he was a little absent-minded in class, thinking about yesterday's events.
He had been taught Dafa by his master earlier, and with the help of the "tangyuan" in the dantian, he was able to cultivate and enter the realm quite quickly, and every day was different. But relatively speaking, his means of dealing with the enemy are a little insufficient, and he can often only rely on his half-baked swordsmanship and the way of the rune, which greatly limits his strength to a certain extent.
Even though he has twelve points of strength, in the end he can only use three or four points.
I thought to myself that I must find an opportunity to learn some spells in the future to make up for my shortcomings, but when I think of this, I feel a little difficult to do.
Most of Gain's spells are in the hands of the Dao Sect, and the slightly more powerful ones can only be cultivated by the disciples of the sect, and even the more advanced ones need to pass various tests before they can be learned.
It's not easy for him to learn, and the spells in the hands of ordinary cultivators are so ordinary, a little frivolous.
This question stumped him, did he have to worship in a certain mountain gate?
As Qiao Chen's cultivation deepened, his senses were also extremely sensitive, and he suddenly felt a gaze sweeping towards him on his side, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Zhang Mingcheng staring at him with burning eyes, with a look of resentment in his eyes.
Seeing him coming, Zhang Mingcheng was taken aback for a moment, and quickly retracted his gaze, he invited a group of people to block the road and kill Qiao Chen'an and the two that day, but he didn't expect that there was no news until now, but Qiao Chen'an had come back safely, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
Seeing Zhang Mingcheng's expression, Qiao Chenan thought that he was still holding a grudge against himself for the matter of Liuyuefang, and he didn't know that the latter had sent someone to take his life, and the corner of his mouth smiled faintly, but he didn't take it to heart at all.
Maybe he treats himself as a difficult enemy, but for himself, what is the difference between Zhang Mingcheng and the weeds on the side of the road in the corner?
After all, it is not a person of the world?
Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew very clearly in his heart that one day, as he refined his Dao, this worldly world would become farther and farther away from him.
It's not that he wants to do this, it's just that sometimes, the tide of fate will push you forward without resisting.
At that time, what is this worldly red dust in his eyes?
The morning passed in a hurry, the students dispersed, and Qiao Chenan was also about to go back to the house, but as soon as he left the gate of the academy, he saw a familiar figure.
Xu Xian, who had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, was waiting by the side of the door, but there was a trace of sadness on his face, and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was worried about something.
Qiao Chenan slowly walked in front of him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Hanwen, why are you here?"
When Xu Xian saw him, his eyes lit up, a flash of excitement and joy flashed on his face, and he hurriedly grabbed his arm, looking anxious and said, "Chen'an, you will definitely save my brother-in-law's life!"
Qiao Chen'an frowned when he heard this, patted his right hand on Xu Xian's hand that grabbed his arm, and said, "What happened?" Hanwen, you tell me slowly, what trouble did Li Zhutou have encountered?"
Xu Xian listened to his words, then he reluctantly gathered his mind, took a long breath, gradually calmed down, and said, "Don't blame Chen'an, I lost my temper." ”
His brows were furrowed, and he said: "It's not the Qiantang Magistrate, I can't solve the case by myself, and I want to talk back to my brother-in-law! This faint official ......" has a look of indignation on his face.
Qiao Chen'an was surprised, he grew up with Xu Xian, but he had never seen him so angry, when he thought of Li Gongfu, he couldn't help but feel a little funny, this was used as a scapegoat by the county magistrate more than once......
suddenly remembered the words "can't solve the case" in Xu Xian's mouth, and his heart moved, could it be that case? !
opened his mouth and asked: "Han Wen is not in a hurry, what is going on, you can tell me!"
Xu Xian sighed and said, "Just three days ago......"
Qiao Chenan listened to his narration, looked at a letter in his hand again, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and sure enough, as he expected, the letter said that it was the case of the theft of Qiantang treasury silver.
The letter said that a few days ago, the government officials searched as usual, and when they counted the treasury silver, they found that the treasury silver was lost 500 taels, and they hurriedly went to the magistrate to give it to the county.
No matter which dynasty or generation, stealing treasury silver is a felony, and the magistrate naturally did not dare to delay a little, and hurriedly ordered Li Gongfu to arrest the thief who stole the treasury silver, but he did not expect to lose hundreds of taels of silver in the next two days.
Somehow the matter alarmed the above, and the magistrate was worried that he would not be able to protect himself, so he had already issued an ultimatum to Li Gongfu to solve the case within seven days, otherwise he would be punished for a serious crime.
Today, there are less than three days left.
Li Gongfu heard from his brother-in-law that Qiao Chenan was in Hangzhou and was accepted as a student by a certain big man, so he entrusted Xu Xian to come and wanted to ask Qiao Chenan to say a few words for him in front of the magistrate, so as not to be guilty.
After Qiao Chenan figured out the ins and outs of the matter, a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and this theft of treasury silver was something Xiaoqing could do.
Seeing him in a daze, Xu Xian said anxiously: "Chen'an, you must help with this matter! You are Dean Wang's student, if you want to come to Nazhi County, you will definitely sell you face, so you won't be too embarrassed by my brother-in-law......"
Qiao Chenan smiled when he heard this: "If you catch the thief of the treasury silver, will Li Zhutou be innocent?"
"That's ...... nature"
Xu Xian nodded subconsciously, and only raised his head violently halfway through speaking, his eyes widened, staring at Qiao Chen'an, and said in surprise: "Chen'an, do you have a second method to catch this thief?!"
Qiao Chenan looked up in the direction of Qiantang and didn't answer, a cyan shadow seemed to appear in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Hanwen will know in the future?"
Without further ado, the two of them simply packed their luggage, and Xu Xian pulled Qiao Chenan to Qiantang County, and Huangfu Xuan turned into his original form, lying on Qiao Chenan's shoulder, and accompanied him all the way.
The Great Xia Dynasty has a vast area, and the distance between Qiantang County and Hangzhou City is not far away, but it is not close, it is about dozens of miles, and if the two of them go on foot, it must take a lot of time.
Therefore, I found the boatman at the West Lake ferry, took the waterway when I came, and set off to Qiantang.
It just so happened that on this day, the wind was strong enough, the sails were raised high, and the boats took advantage of the wind to move forward at a very fast speed, and the scenery on both sides of the strait continued to retreat backwards, and it was seen at a glance. The water village and mountains, the green trees and green mountains, there is quite a feeling of "the apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed the ten thousand mountains".
When he was about to arrive at Qiantang, the water surface suddenly tightened, and turned into a river, Qiao Chenan felt that the scenery on both sides was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, and suddenly remembered that he and Xu Xian had taken a merchant ship with a lot of money when they came to Hangzhou to study, and even two people were killed by the little ghost in this river.
Thinking of this, he stepped to the bow of the boat, saw that there was no one left and right, took out a phantom talisman, and the spiritual power was attracted, and there was suddenly an extra Qiao Chen'an on the bow of the boat, with a voice and a smile, no different, even the person he was most familiar with, and he could not identify it.
He placed another barrier charm around him to make sure that no one could disturb him, and then he glanced at the white fox on his shoulder, who suddenly understood, and planted a heavy illusion around him. A flash of aura appeared on Qiao Chen'an's body, wrapped the two bodies inside, and threw himself into the water.
The river was blue, shining with a bright light in the sun, Qiao Chen'an was wrapped in spiritual power, and the surrounding river water was difficult to touch, feeling the pressure from all sides, urging the spiritual power to escape to the depths of the river.
He closed his eyes, silently felt the demonic energy remaining in the river, kept moving forward, and finally caught a trace of demonic energy in a certain place, his heart moved slightly, and he followed the direction of the demonic energy.
After about a quarter of an hour, his demonic aura became more and more obvious, and gradually became richer, and at this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, but a blue and white pebble with a radius of several feet appeared.
On top of the pebble, lay a huge crab with a length and a width of three feet, exuding demonic energy, exactly like what he had perceived that night.
"I've finally found you!"
Qiao Chenan whispered to himself, he didn't expect that the "river god" who made trouble in the river and collected tribute turned out to be a big crab that had become a spirit!
As he spoke, the crab seemed to feel the breath of a living person, eight powerful long feet supported a huge body, two small eyes flashed with ferocity, and a pair of huge sharp crab claws came towards Qiao Chen'an!
Faintly visible, the double pincers are full of dagger-like barbs, just this one grasp, ordinary people have already broken at the waist!
Qiao Chen'an didn't dodge or dodge, facing the clawed pliers, he raised his fists and struck each other, snorted, and donated blood to stain the red river water, and the pair of pliers were smashed by him!
