Chapter 446 – The Book of Earth Opens New Functions

Back at the Xu Mansion, he spent the entire morning practicing the Blade Intent of the “Heaven and Earth One Blade Slash” blending several great masterstrokes.

After lunch, lie on the roof, sunbathe and sleep shallowly.

In order to subdue the demoness last night, he used the “Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon Mantra” to suppress the fox demon for a full night.

The demon girl cried and begged for mercy, and in the end, it was Dabong’s Xu Yinluo who won.

However, in this battle alone, Xu Yinluo was also greatly injured, so he needed to take a nap to recuperate.

There are thousands of female demons in the world, and it is the duty of a righteous man to get rid of them.

Zhong Li hugged her knees and sat beside him, Senior Sister Zhong’s body was soft and her buttocks were plump and succulent, but the linen robe she had been wrapped in buried her talent.

Occasionally, it is when she sits in this figure-accentuating position that she reveals her mature feminine charms, albeit only fleetingly.

“Your “Intent” seems to be stuck in a bottleneck.” Zhong Li said softly.

“Elder sister is elder sister, although she pretends to be a little pitiful on the surface as a way to win my sympathy and pity, she is actually a very reliable senior, with eyes like a torch, and hits the nail on the head.”

Xu Qi’an closed his eyes in a false sleep and lamented.

“No, it’s not what you said.” Zhong Li said sullenly.

Xu Qi’an was taken aback and rolled over to sit up, his eyes burning as he pressed, “Say, who was your first man.”

Zhong Li looked at him in a daze, “Huh?”

She explained accusingly, “I’m not trying to win your sympathy and …….. pity.”

Xu Qi’an was relieved and continued to lie down, “Oh, you’re talking about this ah.”

As long as you’re still a gimlet-eyed, spot-on Sister, then we’re still good friends.

Zhong Li tilted her head, confused for a moment, still unable to follow his thoughts, and then returned to the topic, saying:

“Although I am a warlock, I know something about martial artists, who cultivate intent, which is a process of clarifying the mind and seeing the nature. It’s not that people who make swords all year round are around, they can definitely comprehend sword intent, and if they make swords, they can comprehend sword intent, it’s not like that.

“If you want to realize the meaning, you must first understand why you use the sword, how much you love the sword, and whether or not you are willing to have the sword as your companion in this life.”

Xu Qi’an shook his head, “That I don’t want, I want to be in the company of a beautiful woman in this life, and if I can, quantitatively I hope I don’t get stuck.”

Zhong Li ignored him and continued, “Your “Yi” is a fusion of multiple mastery techniques, and this is the most difficult Yi to cultivate. It is based on the Heaven and Earth One Blade Slash, but the Heaven and Earth One Blade Slash is not its spirit. You need an outline of the spirit.”

The spirit of the outline? The spirit of the hooker, or the spirit of the white whore?

Xu Qi’an asked, “What should I do with this?”

Zhong Li then shook his head, “I don’t know, I’m not a martial artist.”

You are not a martial artist, and you beep so much ………. Xu Qi An got angry and raised his hand to slap her soft and elastic arse.

This slap obviously did not use any force, but Zhong Li was like being pushed hard, her hips slipped and slid down from the roof ridge, rolled several times on the tiles with a grunt, and fell heavily on the ground.

“Senior sister, senior sister …….. I didn’t mean it!!!”

Xu Qi’an was alarmed.

Zhong Li grunted and climbed to his feet, unable to resist wrapping his linen robe tightly, only the robe could bring a hint of warmth in this cold world.

…………

After lunch, Xu Qi’an, who was playing backgammon with Xu Lingyin in the courtyard, suddenly felt a familiar palpitation, and without regard for the foolish young sister beside him, he took out the pieces of the ground book with little psychological barrier.

Check out the biography.

[4: I have a slight situation on my side, so I probably won’t be able to cooperate with you all to continue investigating the case of Hengyuan and Emperor Yuanjing].

Xu Qi’an’s heart fluttered as he sent a message, [You’re leaving the capital?

It was simple reasoning, whether it was finding Hengyuan or checking on Emperor Yuanjing, neither was an imminent and urgent matter, there was plenty of time to do something else first.

Chu Yuanjian said this, there is only one possibility, he is leaving the capital in the near future, and will not return to the capital in the short term.

[IV: Yes, Jiang Luzhong of the Shiftman’s Yamen came to me this morning and said that Wei Yuan wanted me to accompany the army.]

If the Earth Book Fragment could display punctuation, Xu Qi’an would have typed out a series of question marks and sent them now!

Chu Yuanjian has no experience at all in leading an army into battle, has Lord Wei made a mistake?

[2: Is Wei Yuan really a military god? It would be better to let you go with the army than to let me go. I’ve at least led troops and fought bandits in Yunzhou.]

It turns out that I am not the only one who has this kind of idea ah ……… Xu Qi an is quite pleased.

[4: Heh, I was at least a scholar, although not majoring in the art of war, but the military books have read a lot, but also studied many large-scale battles. For example, the Battle of Shanhaiguan. Whether or not I want to accompany the army on the battlefield depends only on whether or not I want to go, not on whether or not my strength is good enough. Even if I don’t know anything about the art of war at all, I can at least rival a fourth ranked expert.

I quit the court long ago, and have been wandering the rivers and lakes, and now I am a white man, and have no interest at all in becoming an official again. But he invited me to accompany the army to go on an expedition, you guys say Wei Yuan is not ridiculous.

Er, this idea of Wei Gong is really elusive ……… Xu Qi An transmitted a letter and asked, [Then you promised?

[IV: Promised.]

I: “………”

II: “………”

III: “………”

V: “………”

Chu Yuanjian forcefully explained: [Of course I’m not to become an official again, I just think that the sword walks the riverside, rooting out the evil, to get rid of only the small evil, power alone, can root out how many evil people?

[Actually, in the final analysis, it is still for the people of Da Feng, and it would be a great merit if we could do our part in the battlefield to defeat the Witch God Cult.]

I feel like you are connoting me ……… Li Miaozhen muttered in her heart.

So you just said all that just to save yourself some respect? Xu Qi’an silently spat.

Seeing that the crowd had not replied for a long time, Chu Yuanjian transmitted the message, [What do you think?

Xu Qi’an thought about it and said perfunctorily, [It’s quite good.]

[II: It’s good.]

[I: Pretty good.]

[V: Pretty good.]

You three are more perfunctory than me ………. Xu Qi’an rolled her eyes.

Chu Yuanzhan silently dived down and stopped bubbling.

At this time, the long-silent Golden Lotus Taoist Master, after a long time, ventured out to pass on a message:

[I recently needed to go into seclusion to digest the lotus seeds, and will not be able to receive your transmissions for some time. In order not to delay communication between you, the poor Taoist has decided to open up a portion of his authority to you.

[From now on, as long as you probe your Yuan Shen into the fragment of the Earth Book, you will be able to choose by yourselves who you want to privately pass on the message. There is no need to call out to me anymore.]

After saying that, Daoist Master Golden Lotus also dived down and stopped talking.

Daoist, are you finally disgusted with the role of the toolman ……… Xu Qi an s thoughts vibrated, and his spiritual power immersed into the fragment of the earth book.

Once again, he entered the hazy world of mirrors, and there were eight rays of different colors lined up in front of him; the eight rays were red, black, green, white, yellow, and four murky, unreadable colors.

There was no need for deliberate recognition, as the holder of the Earth Book Fragment, he immediately distinguished that the first channel on the right was number one.

No. 1 is mysterious, I might as well test him or her and figure out her identity ………… Xu Qi an gathered his Yuan Shen and probed into the light represented by No. 1 s earth book fragment.

Snap!

Suddenly, the Number One Fragment coalesced a powerful spiritual force and dispersed his strand of Yuan Shen.

Hiss …….. Xu Qi’an felt a pinch in his brain, not a big problem, just a little pain.

Is this the earth book version: the other person doesn’t want to talk to you and gives you a meta-slap?

“If you don’t care, just don’t care, what’s the point of hitting me ……..”

Xu Qi’an cursed and diffused his Yuan Shen, his spiritual energy like tentacles, probing into the fragments of the Earthly Book and re-entering the hazy world of mirrors, and this time, he attempted to reach out his tentacles to the eighth transmission.

Eight didn’t refuse.

[3: I hear you’re in seclusion? Are you a man or a woman, and what is your name? I am a student of the Yunlu Academy and a scholar of the Dabong Hanlin Academy, Mr. Xu New Year.]

Eight doesn’t talk to him.

“Looks like this number eight didn’t break the barrier.”

Xu Qi’an wisely gave up chitchat and extended his tentacles to Seven again, [I heard that Your Excellency is being hunted? I wonder if you’re dead or alive.]

Seven doesn’t bother with him either.

I hope that good people will live in peace ……… Xu Qi’an then sent a message to Li Miaozhen: [Miaozhen, can you receive my message].

[Two: Uh-huh!

Li Miaozhen chose to accept it as early as when the tentacles descended.

[3: Let’s test how it functions.]

[II: How do you test?]

[3: Chu Yuanzhuan is a hypocrite, yuck! Shame on him. Lina, I have something delicious here.]

There was no movement in the middle of the day.

[3: It seems that Daoist Golden Lotus didn’t lie. Private chats will be convenient from now on.]

Li Miaozhen: “………”

[2: By the way, I just suddenly remembered something.]

Xu Qi’an didn’t say anything and waited for a few seconds before Li Miaozhen’s second transmission came over:

[I remembered, on the knowledge of the direction of the earth’s veins, in addition to the Si Tian Supervisor, the most proficient should be the Earth Sect. The three sects of Heaven and Earth, each with their own strengths, the Human Sect’s strongest is alchemy in addition to sword arts. The Earth Sect cultivates merit and virtue, as well as being quite proficient in the Feng Shui aspect, formations, etc. The Earth Vein is one of the Feng Shui. As for my Heavenly Sect, I am more specialized in spells such as calling out the wind and calling in the rain].

Is that why your knowledge of the earth’s veins is so shallow, or even clueless? Xu Qi’an nodded slowly.

It’s not surprising, after all, we all take different courses.

[2: Of course, the Earth Sect’s knowledge of formations and feng shui is shallow compared to that of the Warlocks. I suddenly remembered this after I entered the Earth Book Fragment just now.

[The Earth Sect’s construction of Feng Shui and Formations all stemmed from their knowledge of the earth’s veins, and the Earth Sect’s knowledge of the earth’s veins stemmed from the earth books.

[In the ancient times, the earth book symbolized mountains and rivers. In the case library of the Heavenly Sect, there was a book called “Record of Gods and Spirits of the Kyushu”, which recorded that the Kyushu in the ancient times was dotted with gods such as the Mountain God and the River God. They condensed the power of the mountains and rivers and earth veins in the Kyushu and turned them into the Mountain God Seal and Water God Seal.

In a certain year, the Taoist priest decimated the “gods of the nine states” and melted all the mountain god seals and water god seals of the nine states into a supreme treasure, which was called the “Book of the Earth”.

The book of the earth has such a great origin? When I first checked the relevant information in the night watchman Yamen, I only said that the book of the earth was the magic treasure of the Dao Zun, and its origin could not be verified ……… The deities of the nine states were the masters who emerged in the era after the fall of the gods and demons and the rise of the Emperor of Man?

Xu Qi’an floated his thoughts.

[3: But why does the earth book give me the feeling that it is a storage magic treasure, as well as a DaBong version of the QQ chat group?]

[2: Because the ground book is broken. Also, what’s a 00 chat group?]

It is QQ not 00…….. Xu Qi’an patiently explained the difference between the two to her, then thought somewhat blankly, Why do I have to hold pieces of debris to chat when Li Miaozhen and I live right under the same roof?

[III: I’ll come to your room to talk.]

[II: No, don’t you think that would be fun. Just take the ground book pieces and we’ll be alone whenever we want to talk.]

Li Miaozhen was enamored with the novelty of this online private chat.

She didn’t have this feeling when everyone was passing letters together, it was like a group of people conferring through a magic treasure. But once she was able to chat privately anytime, anywhere, this novelty came to the fore.

This, this ……… good strong sense of vestigial vision, reminds me of the stupid things I did back then: school over the wall to go out to chat QQ; refused the schoolgirl’s invitation to a date on the grounds that she wanted to give her QQ pet a birthday …… …Xu Qi’an silently covered his face.

At this time, Lina’s transmission also came over: [Five: Xu Qi’an Xu Qi’an, would you like to go to a restaurant to eat Monkey Brains today.]

[3: The monkey is so cute, why do you want to eat its brain? You’re obviously five feet away to my left, you can just yell.]

[V: Because it’s fun and I can talk to you alone.]

At this time, Chu Yuanzhen launched a private chat to him: [4: Resignation ah, can you show me that book of war. As the saying goes, it’s not quick to sharpen a spear in battle. In addition, I find it quite interesting to individually pass on a book anytime, anywhere. There’s also no need to worry about being seen by others.]

[3: How do you know it wasn’t seen by someone else? Did you test it?

[IV: Because I’ve been sending private messages with Myojin, and Lina.]

[3: Lina, have you been sending private messages with Myojin and Chu Yuanjian?]

[V: Huh, how did you know that.]

Enough of you guys!!!

The corners of Xu Qi’an’s mouth twitched.

Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps ran in, and it was Xu Rui Lao, who was wearing a green robe and official uniform.

Xu Ru Lao turned his head and looked around for a while, seemingly looking for something, and when he saw Xu Qi An figure, he breathed a sigh of relief, “Big brother, big brother, there is an emergency ………”

Xu Qi’an immediately greeted him, and the last time he could make Erlang Xu ride back personally during his lunch break was for Wang Simu.

“Big brother, Emperor Yuan Jing wants me to accompany the army.” Xu Ruilao’s face was serious.

“!!!”

Xu Qi’an was struck by lightning.

He had personally experienced a large-scale war, when Chuzhou was investigating the case, Candle Jiu led the demon tribe, and Jili Zhigu led the iron cavalry of the Qingyan tribe, and the two sides collaborated to attack the city of Chuzhou.

That siege didn’t last long, but it was menacing and fierce enough, and under the bed crossbows and artillery, no matter if it was human or barbarian, it wasn’t much tougher than grass.

The Emperor wants Erlang Xu to go to war? Isn’t that asking him to die!

“Pretending to be sick?” Xu Qi’an tried.

“His Majesty has granted red, even if he has a breath, he will carry it! That’s why I came to find big brother to discuss with you.” Xu Rui Lao said in a muffled voice.

That is to say that it is impossible to refuse? Xu Qi’an’s brows furrowed and he said in a bad mood, “Discussing what, discussing how to disobey the holy decree?”

Xu Rui Lao choked, and after a long moment of silence, he said, “I mean, discussing how to fight, I, I actually want to go.”

“Pop!”

Xu Qi’an slapped his little old brother to the ground, “Fighting? Fighting you is more like it.”

Xu Erlang got up in a sorry state, spitting in his heart that his elder brother was a coarse martial artist, and on the surface he was docile and didn’t dare to talk back for fear of being slapped in the face again.

Xu Qi’an looked at him for a long time and sighed, “Go and talk to your aunt yourself.”

The corners of Xu Erlang’s mouth twitched as he slowly nodded, “Good.”

……….

In a moment, the sound of her aunt’s “ow ow ow” came from the inner hall, and the beautiful woman ran out of the hall, looking left and right, and then locking her eyes on Xu Qi’an.

“Ning Yan–“

The aunt let out a loud cry, with an expression that looked like she was about to burst into tears, and beckoned her little hand vigorously, “Erlang is going to the battlefield, so you, you come and think of a way.”

Now there is only one Xu Qi’an in the family who can carry the load, and when the aunt encounters a problem she can’t solve, she looks for her nephew at the first opportunity.
