Chapter 314 – Intelligence for Pills
by Jessie@AFNCCAt night, the stars and moon are dimmed, and a thick fog covers the area.
Xu Qi’an carried Zhong Li on his back and looked down on the capital from a high altitude, the world’s largest city quietly hibernating in the darkness.
Elevated fires were set up every twenty paces on the horse paths of the city walls for illumination. Together with the candle fires in the palace, imperial city, and inner city, it was actually quite bright.
“It’s beautiful.” Zhong Li, who was lying on his back, murmured.
“You can’t see a night view like this from the Bagua Terrace of the Divine Constabulary?” Xu Qi’an laughed.
“I can’t see it so beautiful, and besides, the teacher has to observe the heavenly signs at night, and we’re usually not allowed to go on the Bagua stage at this time, except for Caiwei.” Zhong Li regretted.
“Why is it okay for Caiwei?” Xu Qi’an was surprised.
“Maybe it’s because she’s the youngest and dumbest, so the teacher favors her extraordinarily.” Zhong Li guessed.
…….. You’re talking bad about Caiwei? I didn’t expect you to be such a Zhong Li. Eh, but with the character of this unlucky fifth senior sister, what was said should be the truth ………. It seems that Caiwei’s not too smart in the head is recognized by the Secretaries of Heaven.
With this in mind, Xu Qi’an changed the topic and said in a low voice, ”I’ve seen a city in my dreams, where every night, there is a light lit up on the street, winding its way around every corner of the city.
“I’ve seen a city in my dreams, dotted with towering buildings like the Stargazer, glowing with different colors.
“I’ve seen a city in my dreams where glowing carriages traveled through the streets, and the whole city was bright and dazzling, with candlelight all night long until dawn.”
Zhong Li listened with some infatuation and murmured, “That must be a fairy realm.”
Xu Qi’an didn’t answer and smiled, a smile with fondness and frustration.
The flying swords and paper cranes did not land immediately, but hovered in the air of the outer city for a few moments, similar to knocking on a door to give the magicians of the Divine Constabulary or the experts in the capital a chance to react.
Let them know that the visitor is not an enemy, but one of their own.
If at first glance he landed without greeting, then the capital’s masters would likely strike in response to the excitement.
Flying swords and paper cranes landed in a secluded alley not far from the city gates, and the crowd arched their hands to say goodbye, the unconscious Lina was taken away by Taoist Master Jinlian, and was temporarily under his care, after all, Jinlian was the bearer of the Tiandi Association.
That responsibility is rightfully his.
Xu Qi’an carried Zhong Li towards the guards at the city gates.
There was a well-built, curvaceous stallion bolted there.
Last night, when he left the city with Daoist Golden Lotus and the others, he took the filly with him, and on the way, he passed it on to the patrolling Imperial Sword Guards, asking them to help board it at the city gates, to be watched over by the soldiers guarding the city.
“Little mare, your pin man is back.”
Xu Qi’an stroked the filly’s neck, untied the reins, and rode back to the inner city with Zhong Li.
From the outer city gates to the inner city, Xu Mansion, one would have to walk until midnight, it was still faster to ride a horse, Xu Qi’an was glad that he had the foresight to do so.
Using the privilege of his silver gong to open the gates of the inner city, returning to the Xu Mansion it was already late at night, Zhong Li simply washed up and used the wooden stick given by Xu Qi’an to set his bones.
“I’m so sorry, it’s all my fault, you could have been spared this.” Xu Qi’an said guiltily.
“Tomorrow, take me back to the Sithian Temple, and my teacher will heal my leg injury.”
Zhong Li lowered his head, rubbed his leg, and whispered, “I want to borrow your chi to circumvent bad luck, and naturally I have to give back, in your words, this is equivalent exchange, the unchanging law of alchemy.”
“Senior Sister Zhong is so reasonable, it’s really touching …….. Uh, is Senior Sister Zhong sleepy?”
Zhong Li shook his head.
Snap! Xu Qi’an placed a blank pamphlet in front of her and said, “Help me code if you’re not sleepy, it’s tiring for me to carry Senior Sister you back to the capital from Xiangcheng. Equivalent exchange, the unchanging principle of alchemy.”
Zhong Li was confused.
Xu Qi’an poured water and ink while urging, “Hurry up, I promised the princess that I would send her the talking books. I’ve been pigeonholing her for a day.”
“Oh …….”
Zhong Li weakly answered and walked to the table to sit down with a pout, straightening her back and holding the brush Xu Qi’an handed her.
…………..
The next day, Xu Qi’an dressed up, tied on a gong, hung up his saber, and sent Zhong Li back to his mother’s house.
After seeing Zhong Li enter the Stargazer Building, Xu Qi’an suddenly heard the sound of exuberant chanting coming from behind him:
“The sky is the shore at the end of the sea, and I am the peak of the Artistic Dao.”
Did Mr. Yang change his mantra? No, have you considered the feelings of the Superintendent when you said such things underneath the Stargazer Building? Xu Qi’an raised a warm smile and turned back:
“Senior Brother Yang, what is it that you are looking for me for?”
“You seemed to have some problems last night, do you need me to help you deal with it.” Yang Qianyi said quietly.
Xu Qi’an had a feeling of a chill down his spine as he narrowed his eyes, his pupil light sharply staring at Yang Qianyi’s back.
What does he mean by that? Is he referring to the qi luck I seized in the ancient tomb yesterday? Impossible, how could Yang Qianliang find out about my weird qi luck.
When he was in doubt, he only saw Yang Qianyi standing with his hands on his head and said, “I’m just helping my teacher to pass on a message. Tell me what you think and I’ll reply.”
My idea is to beat the hell out of you!
The corner of Xu Qi’an’s mouth twitched.
“Unsurprisingly, perhaps when I returned to the capital last night, the Supervisor saw my abnormality at the Eight Trigrams Terrace, and there is no need to doubt that a first-rate magician who has ascended to the top of the mountain could not have realized it until now.
“The Supervisor is asking Senior Brother Yang to bring me a message, which means that the Heavenly Chance he shielded for me has failed? Is it because of the collection of the Qi Shock yesterday?
“Then I definitely refused ah, the Duoyue Luohan has gone back to the West, what reason do I have to bear the 404 Dhamma? Every time I go to the hookah during this period of time, my heart is dripping blood. A life that can’t be whored out for nothing is meaningless.”
Thinking of this, Xu Qi’an gave his own reply, “No need, thank Supervisor Zheng for me.”
A clip of the filly and a ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.
On the way to the courthouse, Xu Qi’an, who was bathing in the early morning sunrise, suddenly saw a carriage out of control in front of her, and the horses pulling the carriage seemed to have been stimulated and went wild, charging across the road.
The coachman did his best to stop the horses, pulling hard on the reins, never able to stop them.
The wagon careened out of control and rammed into a young child on the side of the road, who was crouching and playing while his mother picked out cheap jewelry at a nearby stand.
The change was so sudden that no one was able to react, and the young mother, hearing the alarmed cries of passers-by, turned her head to see a carriage heading straight for her son.
Immediately, a scream of horror escaped.
Just then, a young man in the uniform of a night watchman’s errand boy flashed ghostly and pressed his probing hand to the horse’s forehead.
“Ruler ……..”
The horses neigh and fall to their knees on their front hooves, while the young man in the poor uniform of the night watchman does not move a muscle.
“Thank you for your help, my lord, thank you for your help.”
The young mother hugged her son, cried tears of joy, and kept bowing to thank him.
The pedestrians who witnessed this scene erupted into loud shouts of approval.
“Isn’t this Lord Xu? Isn’t this the hero of our Dafeng.”
Someone recognized him and cried out in surprise.
Upon hearing this, another passerby citizen who had watched the fight recognized Xu Qi’an and shouted, “That’s right, it’s Lord Xu, it’s Lord Xu.”
Now, the people who have not seen the fight, also know that this handsome silver gong, who saved people, is the hero who made a big splash in the fight and suppressed the arrogance of the Buddhist sect.
So I am already so popular Is it so loved by the people of the capital ……… Xu Qi an sighed, arched his hand, and rode the little mare to leave.
Behind them, the voices chanting “Lord Xu” came from afar and lasted for a long time.
“This is a bit cool, what’s the saying, pretending this is a heavenly creation, a wonderful hand ………,” Xu Qi Xin said.
But next, he encountered a lost child incident, in order to prevent encountering human traffickers, he waited in place for the child’s family to find, harvested a full of thanks and passers-by praise.
A granny fell down while crossing the street and was left unassisted. Xu Qi’an, as one of the five good youths, was naturally duty-bound to help when he encountered such an incident, and gained the grandmother’s thanks and the praise of passers-by.
And then, Xu Qi’an realized that something was wrong: “Why is it that wherever I go, the pussy is loaded, this is not scientific. After helping granny cross the street, do I still have to help Miss Qiu family whack Li Fu?”
The thought flashed by, and sure enough, he saw a cloaked woman come rushing out of the street, crying.
A man came out after him, raising his palm and hitting, his mouth angry:
“Kill you this shameless woman, kill you this shameless woman, I will write a letter of repudiation ……… here.”
It s not right ……… Xu Qi an turned his horse s head, and once he pumped the little mare s buttocks, he da da da da rushed in the direction of the Sitian Supervisor.
On the way, he sank into thought and came up with a more reasonable guess.
The original eccentric qi in his body slowly awakened as his cultivation increased, a gradual process. Therefore the external manifestation is picking up silver, from one to five dollars ……….
Now, seizing the qi fortune in the jade seal was like pulling up a seedling, and the qi fortune was out of control.
“Zhong Li is doomed, so I always have to be on guard against sudden accidents. And I am Qi Luck entangled, so I have to always be on guard against sudden incidents of pretense …….. This is not a good thing. Moreover, I’m not sure if these unexpected events would have happened in the first place, or if they happened deliberately because of my appearance, with the purpose of letting me act like a pussy (to gain prestige)?”
Thinking of this, Xu Qi’an laughed to himself in his heart: in the future, I can write a book called I Really Didn’t Want to Pretend to be a Pussy
Fast horseback back to the Secretary of Heaven, still waiting to dismount, behind him came the sound of exuberant long chanting:
“The roc rises with the wind in one day, rocking up to 90,000 miles. Holding the moon in his hand and picking the stars, there is no one like me in the world.”
In the aftermath, a piece of purple jade flew in front of Xu Qi’an and hung motionless in the air.
Yang Qianyi said, “Teacher asked me to give it to you, he said that you will have some minor troubles that this jade pendant can solve.”
This jade pendant can shield my qi? Received the jade pendant examination, this jade shape like a disk, Xu Lingyin palm so big, touch warm …….. Xu Qi’an was heartily convinced:
“Supervisor Zheng is truly a man of God, he knew I would return.”
Yang Qianliang heard this and shook his head, “No, it was given to me before.”
“?”
Xu Qi’an’s expression froze on his face, “Then why didn’t you hand it over to me just now.”
Yang Qianyi rightfully said, “The most important things should naturally be saved for later appearances. Just as heroes always appear in critical situations.”
I can t stand it, Supervisor Zheng quickly help me kill this guy ……… Xu Qi an heart greeted the ancestors of Yang Qianyi for a hundred times, blackened his face, and raised his whip and went.
…………..
Dexin Court.
Xu Qi’an and Princess Huaiqing sat in columns, holding hot tea in their hands, curls of steam spread over their handsome faces, Xu Qi’an said:
“I’ve heard that Your Highness is well read in history, and that his talent is not inferior to that of a child.”
Huaiqing crossed his hands and folded them in the small of his back, his waist and back were straight, and he asked back in a clear and cold manner:
“No loss of sons and daughters?”
Those autumn water-like clear and bright eyes scrutinized Xu Qi’an for a few seconds.
“It’s my humble servant who didn’t describe it properly enough, not to be outdone by the Scholar.” Xu Qi’an laughed.
Huaiqing didn’t speak again, stretching out her jade hand in her wide sleeve, holding a cup of tea and taking a sip, saying, “What is it that you would like to ask?”
Talking with smart people is easy ……… Xu Qi An said, “Does Your Highness know about the Da Liang Dynasty?”
The exploration of the ancient tombs outside of Xiangcheng belonged to a gang mission within the Tiandi Association, and as Wei Yuan’s two-fifths placed within the Tiandi Association, Xu Qi’an should have reported this matter to his superiors, but because of the matter of the jade seal’s qi, he planned to conceal it.
“There are three dynasties with the name “Da Liang”, the earliest, which is roughly three thousand years ago, and the most recent, which was established after the founding of Da Feng, when the remnants of the previous dynasty established a short-lived Da Liang with the support of the Witch God Cult. It was destroyed by Emperor Gaozu eighteen years later.”
Huaiqing didn’t even think about it and gave a direct answer.
“Is there an earlier one?” Xu Qi’an frowned.
Wyking shook his head.
It seems that there is really no record in the official history books of the age in which the murals are located ………. This answer was expected, and Xu Qi’an remained somewhat disappointed.
Before the emergence of Confucianism, although the human race also has the habit of recording history, but mostly painted in murals, murals are not easy to preserve, a war down, may be destroyed.
It was after the emergence of Confucianism that book revision was really taken as a tradition, and the readers began to devote themselves to the revision of books and history as a lifelong and honorable endeavor.
“Is there anything else, Lord Xu?” Huaiqing reminded.
“No more ……..”
Mentally pondering, Xu Qi’an subconsciously shook his head.
“No more?” Wyvern’s voice rose slightly in pitch.
“Look at my memory, I said I’d deliver the talking book to His Highness.” Xu Qi’an slapped his head, took out the booklet from his arms, placed it on the case, and said:
“Something happened at home yesterday, thus delaying it. Your Highness waited impatiently.”
Huaiqing did not even look at the book, said faintly: “A few maidservants want to see just, the Palace why “wait for the urgent” said?”
“Then if there’s nothing else, humble servant will take his leave.”
Xu Qi’an was still thinking about going on a date to the Lin’an mansion.
Women are really troublesome, I don t even have time to practice properly, you said What s the point of raising so many fish ……… Thinking of Lin An s charming and sentimental face, Xu Qi an was a little impatient.
“No delivery.”
Waiting for Xu Qi’an to leave the hall, Huaiqing rose with her skirt and walked straight to the table, picking up the pamphlet with some haste, clattering and scanning it, confirming that the quantity was large and filling, and relief flashed across her brimming eyes.
………..
Lingbao Guan.
An orange cat leapt lightly up the fence, swept the secluded yard, and pounced off the wall.
With his tail cocked, he crossed the cobbled path to the door of the quiet room, lifted a paw, and knocked.
The lattice door automatically opened, and Luo Yu Heng’s clear and cold voice line came out, “What are you doing in my Spiritual Treasure Guan again.”
“Ugh!”
The orange cat sighed, shaking the air and sending out a vicissitude voice: “Senior sister, the jianghu saves the day, my flesh is dying.”
“I think you quite like your current physical body.” Luo Yu Heng teased.
“Senior sister don’t be credulous.” The orange cat was a bit angry and righteously said, “People of my generation act without restraint.”
“Cut the crap, what is it.” Luo Yu Heng was impatient.
A humanized smile appeared on the orange cat’s face as he said cheekily, “I want to ask senior sister for two Blood Fetus Pills.”
Luo Yu Heng sighed, “I’m just a red-faced scourge who compels the king to cultivate his way of life and disrupts the dynasty, and my elixirs are all the people’s fat. Senior brother is not afraid that after eating it, the karmic fire will scorch his body and he will die?”
This petty and vindictive woman ……… Golden Lotus Taoist Master said in a deep voice: “The teacher sister is not right, the Yuan Jing Emperor wants to cultivate, what does it have to do with you? Replacing a person with an improper mind as the state teacher, that would be the real scourge of the dynasty.
“Senior Sister is mindful of the world’s livelihood, that’s why she took over the position of State Master and personally kept an eye on Emperor Yuan Jing. Otherwise, the court would have been in chaos long ago.”
Luo Yu Heng sighed quietly, “If everyone in the world is as clear and bright as senior brother, how nice it would be. In fact, you’re right, since you borrowed the court’s qi to cultivate, it’s only right to be verbally abused.”
“So, that blood tire pill ………”
“One Blood Fetus Pill, thirty-eight taels of gold. Remembering the love of fellow disciples, I’ll erase the change for senior brother and give a sixty taels of gold.”
If the poor Taoist has so much silver, why do I look for you!
Daoist Golden Lotus cat-faced stiffly.
After a moment of contemplation, Daoist Master Golden Lotus rolled over the threshold and entered the quiet room, looking at the stunning beauty sitting cross-legged on the futon and discussing:
“I’ll trade the information, for the Blood Fetus Pill.”
Luo Yu Heng didn’t open her eyes, her five hearts facing upwards, her delicate face like a jade carving, her red lips lightly opened, “Although senior brother has a lot of information, I’m not interested.”
The orange cat’s blue pupils stared at her slyly and said, “What if it’s Xu Qi’an’s?”
Luo Yu Heng immediately opened his eyes.
……………..
