Chapter 511 – The Sisters Come Into Their Arms
by Jessie@AFNCCJust after arriving in Fuyang County, I came across the little woman jumping into the water to commit suicide.
The awkwardness lay in the fact that he and Mu Nanjian had yet to find an inn to stay at, so according to Xu Qi’an’s intention, it was to stay at the inn before settling the matter.
But would the little woman believe what an out-of-towner said?
Thirty taels of silver was a huge sum of money in her eyes, and in fact, it was indeed considered a generous fortune. If you don’t come up with something practical, just verbal promises, people simply won’t believe it.
What if I can’t think back and jump into the river again.
So give her silver in advance, is to rest her heart, and so on their own to find the inn, in the front to solve, this kind of folk small disputes, has long been unable to see the big waves of Xu Qi’an used to cause the slightest sense of urgency.
“A broken thing is a thing, and I once made a grand wish that there would be no injustice in the world. I can’t control what’s in the sky, but I can control what’s right in front of me.”
Xu Qi’an took a sip of yellow wine and said:
“Now I realize another thing, doing good doesn’t change the world, just like being a doctor doesn’t save the country. If you want less injustice in the world, you have to change the big picture.”
Mu Nanjian rested her cheek with one hand, her eyes glittering with admiration, and said, “Therefore, it is the Buddhist sect’s wish to make grand wishes that concerns the fruit position?”
Over this period of time, she had heard Xu Qi’an talk about many things, including the cultivation of the major systems, the differences, and listened to them purely as stories.
The First Beauty of Dafeng was undoubtedly icy and smart, keeping it firmly in mind.
“The greater the ambition, the higher the fruitfulness, but accordingly, the greater the difficulty ……..”
Xu Qi’an suddenly froze as a question occurred to him: what grand wish did Shenshu make back then?
To this day, he can barely see a little bit of Shenshu’s special, Zen and martial arts dual cultivation, and both to a very high level, Shenshu counted as a Bodhisattva or Lohan?
It was something he had never thought about before.
But whether it is a Lohan or a Bodhisattva, it is a supreme fruition, in which case it will certainly leave a trace. As an example, a certain ascetic monk performed a grand wish:
I can get ten million rooms in a wide building, and I can shelter all the cold people in the world with a happy face!
Then, the ascetics must make corresponding moves, for example, building houses like crazy and developing the real estate sector.
That would leave a very visible mark.
If we could know what grand wish Shenshu had made back then, we might be able to unlock the secrets in Shenshu’s body and understand the inner workings of how he had been split up and sealed.

“With a woman and a war horse? Sure it’s a war horse?”
In the three-entry compound, Zhu Er’s eyes suddenly brightened.
“That horse is particularly divine and much taller than the average horse, and that body curve is to die for.”
The subordinate in charge of prying was full of praise.
War horses were a scarce commodity, the kind that money couldn’t buy. With this year’s war between the imperial court and the Witch God Cult, the Da Feng army suffered heavy deaths and injuries, and warhorses instantly became even more in demand.
And in Zhu Er’s eyes, the value is still secondary, the key is that it is rare.
It’s just the thing to send to the magistrate.
These days, no one doesn’t like horses, especially good ones.
Zhu Er pondered for a long time, and then had a bright idea: “Go, notify Sheriff Li, let him bring a few of his brothers, and go to the Shanyang Inn.”
……….
The yellow wine from Fuyang County was really good, with an excellent flavor, and Xu Qi’an, who didn’t know how to make wine, could only guess that it was due to the water quality or the grains.
One side of the water and soil has the characteristics of the other side of the water and soil.
“When you leave Fuyang County, buy a few jars of wine to take with you …….”
Mu Nanjia pursed her lips and said joyfully.
For her, the biggest advantage of walking the rivers and lakes was that she could taste the food and wine from all over the world and appreciate the different customs.
Although the mood can be negative and unpleasant due to some bad insights along the way, that’s part of the experience.
The two men put down their jugs and went out, in company, to attend to the little woman’s affairs.
Following the stairs to the lobby of the inn, he suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps, four quick hands, and a group of fierce men with a face full of flesh rushed into the inn.
The middle-aged man at the head of the group wore a constable’s uniform with a black background and red trim.
This outfit was too familiar, causing Xu Qi’an to inexplicably feel a sense of affinity.
The middle-aged constable swept his gaze to the inn’s second, and said in a deep voice, “Are there any outsiders staying at the inn today.”
The store assistant immediately looked toward Xu Qi’an and Mu Nanjian, “Master Differential, these two are.”
The middle-aged constable scrutinized Xu Qi’an and said, “Someone has accused you of raping the people’s daughter, come with us to the Yamen.”
Me? Raping the people’s maidens? Xu Qi’an felt that he had been subjected to a great defilement, if the hallowed Xu Yinluo wanted to sleep with any family’s little maiden, the little maidens would be happy with their legs.
What need for adultery.
Raping a woman of the people? In the inn, diners looked over.
Upon hearing that a foreigner had raped a good local family, the diners immediately showed hostile expressions.
“Who sued me, with a voucher.”
Xu Qi’an was well aware of the Yamen’s process of taking people, and as he spoke, his gaze naturally looked towards the group of brawny hans, towards one of the well-dressed, well-fed men.
In Xu Qi’an’s line of sight, this person was draped in a faint golden light, with a tiny dragon shadow vaguely coiling and roaming around.
This made him happy and regretful, happy because after coming out for so long, he finally met a dragon qi host, regretful because this host’s dragon qi, belonged to the fine scattered type.
Not those nine critical dragon chi.
The middle-aged man, who was scantily clad, gave a heave and said:
“My name is Zhu Er, and it is I who will sue you to the Yamen. Today you saved a woman who lost her footing and fell into the water by the river, is this true?”
Xu Qi’an nodded.
Zhu Er said sadly, “You took her to a widowed old man’s house on the pretext of changing clothes, and took the opportunity to rape her. That returned home and cried to me about it.”
With that, he looked at the middle-aged constable and said, “Constable Li, you have to do the right thing for the straw man.”
Xu Qi’an drifted off and stared at him with a cold face:
“So you are Zhu Er, set up a trap to pit Zhang Lame Zi dumped his family’s money, and then dominated his wife, forcing her to jump into the river to kill herself. I saw her poor, out to save, and gave her thirty taels of silver to pay off the debt. What’s wrong with you?
“Uh, you have Zhang Cripple’s daughter-in-law?”
A bright realization rose in his heart, by virtue of the aggregation effect of dragon qi and qi, he would sooner or later encounter those dragon qi hosts along the way, only the time scale was beyond his control.
It may take a year, it may take two years, or even longer.
At those words, the diners in the hall immediately understood.
Although this was a foreigner, who among the people of the county didn’t know Zhu Er’s character and who didn’t know that he had hooked up with the county master.
People were more likely to believe what the outlander said than what he said.
Sheriff Li had a business-like demeanor: “Cut the crap and follow us back to the court. The county master is clear-sighted and never wrongly accuses anyone.”
Suddenly, the high-pitched sound of a horse neighing came, accompanied by screams.
The crowd ran out of the inn, only to see several men on the spacious street trying their best to subdue a steed, with two men pulling on the reins and another attempting to mount it.
But a beautiful spinning back kick by the filly sent her flying, her breath dying as she lay on the ground, blood seeping from her mouth and nose.
Zhu Er was shocked and delighted, this horse was more spiritual than he had imagined, his heart blazed with greed and he shouted:
“Sheriff Li, he committed murder on horseback, the offense is aggravated.”
Mu Nanjia sniffed, pinched her waist and sneered, “You guys don’t mess with it, it will hurt people? It’s clearly you guys who want to steal the horse.”
Mu Nan Gardenia was ignored by the crowd because her face value was so bad.
Sheriff Li had a stern face, “This horse is also an accomplice, all of them will be taken away, just now he was the one who whistled and manipulated the horse to commit the murder, the crime will be increased.”
Zhu Er instantly revealed a smile, “Sheriff Li is as good as a god at deciding cases, don’t you think so?”
The hans behind him laughed.
Pedestrians on the street crowded around, pointing and mingling.
“Who is Zhu Er going to collude with these dirtbags to extort again?”
“Seems to be an outlander.”
“Oh, an outlander, then he’s out of luck.”
“Zhu Er is accustomed to rampage, no one can rule him, at the beginning of the year, the silk store’s Zhao shopkeeper, was extorted by Zhu Er two hundred taels, not convinced, went to the Yamen to sue, but the county magistrate and Zhu Er is wearing the same pants. Zhao shopkeeper then ran to Yongzhou city to sue, the result was beaten a board sent back, store later also by Zhu Er encroachment.”
“Keep your voice down, don’t be heard, it’s bad luck.”
“Hmph, we don’t have Xu Yinluo in Fuyang County, otherwise a bully like Zhu Er would have been beheaded long ago.”
This is the scourge of the Xu official ah, in a small place, it is completely possible to do fish and flesh the people, the authority of the blessing ……….. Xu Qi’an’s ear is very strong, listening to the people’s discussion, for no reason, remembered Wei Yuan, who once wanted to fix the officials.
Sheriff Li grunted, “What are you waiting for, blindfold the horse.”
Blindfolded, the horse will follow the man.
One of the constables immediately took off his messenger’s uniform, shook his hands and unfolded it, and ran to the filly.
The filly backed up repeatedly, but the reins of the horse were pulled by the combined efforts of the two hans, and she was unable to break free.
It hissed long and hard.
“What are you screaming for, if you scream again I’ll chop you up.”
This fast man threatened as he pulled his shirt over the filly’s head.
But he didn’t make it, as a crushed silver bullet shot by and shattered his kneecap.
Racer was instantly off-balance and staggered to his knees, while clutching his bloody knee in agony.
He’ll be a cripple afterward, too.
All around the clamor all of a sudden up, the street walkers did not expect this foreigner is so rigid, but even went out to seriously injure the yamen fast worker.
“How dare you commit murder and hurt people!”
Sheriff Li’s eyebrows went up and he drew his standardized saber.
“Sheriff Li, we’re here to help you.”
Zhu Er laughed coldly and drew a small arm-length narrow-mouthed knife from behind his waist, and his subordinates followed suit and drew knives of the same style.
It should be that Xu Qi’an’s earlier hit made Sheriff Li and the others realize that he had a few skills, and instead of immediately surrounding him, they held their knives and slowly circled around him, moving closer in small steps.
When both sides were less than a foot away, Sheriff Li roared in anger and fought to slash out his saber.
He had some cultivation in him, and he slashed down with a gust of wind whistling.
The others swarmed.
Xu Qi’an raised his hand, lightly snatched Sheriff Li’s knife, backhanded it on the other party’s neck, and said:
“Colluding with bullies and preying on the people, beheading!”
The blade swept by and a head rolled off, eyes round.
Blood like a fountain.
The two quick hands, as well as Zhu Er and other people showed panic on their faces, this foreigner just struck out flat, only grabbing the knife and decapitating the head of the two actions, which made them unable to distinguish whether the foreigner is an expert, or Li sheriff was careless for a moment.
At that moment, Zhu Er saw the outlander turn and look at himself.
In that instant, fear exploded within him, and his heart jerked hard as he snapped:
“You dare to kill the magistrate, this is a capital offense ……..”
Xu Qi’an ignored it, carrying his bloodstained saber and steadily leaning towards Zhu Er.
Zhu Er backed up in shock, his hand holding the narrow-mouthed knife trembled gently, and in the next moment, the taut string in his heart collapsed and he turned around and ran.
Psst!
Another piece of broken silver shot out, shattering his kneecaps.
Due to inertia, Zhu Er fell heavily to the ground, and then he saw a pair of black boots stop in front of his eyes.
Looking up, the outlander was also looking down with indifference, “Bullying men and women, beheading!”
Another head rolled off.
On Zhu Er’s corpse, a small shallow golden dragon wandered out, soaring into the clouds, seemingly to ride the wind.
Xu Qi’an took out the fragment of the Earth Book, aimed the mirror at the little golden dragon, and recited the spell silently under his breath.
The little golden dragon turned into fine golden light and was sucked into the mirror.
All this cannot be seen by the ordinary human eye.
Two fast hands, as well as Zhu Er’s subordinates, trembling, face pale, the narrow mouth knife in his hand “when” fell to the ground.
Xu Qi’an glanced back, “Serving a tiger, chopping off hands.”
A dozen arms fell.
A dozen or so men covered their arms and screamed.
After doing this, he took the filly and led Mu Nanjian, walking towards the end of the long street.
After a while, someone said in a trembling voice, “Zhu Er is dead.”
He suddenly became agitated and shouted at the top of his voice:
“Juji is dead!”
The silence was broken and the crowd boiled over.
It was obviously a bloody scene, but the pedestrians on the street clapped and cheered.
“The dog thief is finally dead.”
“Bah, deserved it! Ran into someone you can’t afford to mess with, I guess.”
“Deserved to die, deserved to die.”
“The Outlander is a warrior in action.”
…………
Outside the city, after rescuing the little woman, Xu Qi’an rode the little mare and galloped furiously along the official road.
Mu Nan gardenia leaned in his arms, body upside down ah upside down, intermittently said:
“Slow, slow down, you’re too fast ……..
“Are we running away?”
Xu Qi’an focused on galloping and said, ”Or else? Stay at the inn and wait for the county magistrate to deploy troops over to encircle and then kill them all? We are now Jianghu people, doing Jianghu things.”
Munan Gardenia gasped, “Jianghu matter?”
“Kill a man at ten steps, leave no one behind for a thousand miles, brush off your clothes when you’re done, and hide your body and your name deep down.”
Fast and furious, pulling out a knife and slashing someone on the road.
This is the jungle.
After saying that, he no longer paid any attention to the First Beauty of the Dafeng, and a wisp of his Yuan Shen immersed into the fragment of the Earth Book, and in the grayish space within the mirror, a golden dragon with a slender body size was silently frozen in midair.
It looked like it was sealed by a fragment of the earth book, and it looked like it was sleeping.
“The range of my sense of dragon qi hasn’t changed, but I can now increase that range through the earth book fragments. In the future, the more dragon qi I collect, will the range be wider ……..
“In addition, I am now also equivalent to a dragon’s qi companion, my luck will become better, and the good old days of picking up silver every day feel like they’re coming back ……..
“The qi luck in my body has been completely revived and has long since departed from the realm of picking up money, so it had to be shielded by means of the Heavenly Compass Ministry.”
Although it was only a tiny piece of dragon qi, Xu Qi’an was still invigorated beyond measure, the cultivation of the Seven Extinction Compulsions had been quite successful, the Soul Invoking Bell artifact material had also collected two pieces, and now the dragon qi had also managed to collect a piece of dragon qi.
The mission is moving along smoothly.
………..
Four days later, the two came to a land called Pingzhou.
Xu Qi’an held the little mare and walked on the official road, today the sun was shining brightly and Xu Qi’an was in a bright mood.
Mu Nanjia sat on the back of the horse, flipping through the Geography of Dabong, and said in a serious manner:
“Pingzhou is a good place ah, rich in minerals, rich in porcelain ………”
Looking at it, her face fell, “Too bad there’s nothing good to eat.”
There is no delicious …… Xu Qi An felt tasteless.
“But the matrons of Pingzhou are especially watery, voluptuous, and amorous.”
Munan Gardenia then added.
Amorous, whether it describes a man or a woman, means it’s easy to hook up and get laid ……
Xu Qi’an’s eyes lit up as hookahs and greenhouses flashed through his mind.
Nice place!
“Look at you, I just said it and you’re all over it!”
Mu Nanjia pointed at him and exclaimed.
Ah? Liar ah …… Xu Qi an felt tasteless.
Close to lunch, the two finally entered the city, Xu Qi’an stared at the roadside young ladies and looked hard, found that most of the posture is mediocre, Mu Nanjian came here, it is like returning home.
Suddenly, the two men heard the sound of a shawm, playing rhythmic music. This was accompanied by a dull, but equally rhythmic drumming.
Turning his head to look, he saw a group of people slowly approaching, with a banner held high in front: the East Sea Dragon Palace!
In the center of the procession is a palanquin, which has no top and is covered with drapery instead.
On large chairs covered with animal skins and soft pillows sat two women and one man: ���������.
Through the light curtains, the young man’s sword brows and starry eyes were clearly visible in his superb skin, and he had his arms wrapped around a woman in each hand, an evil smile hanging at the corner of his mouth.
It seemed to be very much enjoying the feeling of embracing left and right, whispering down to them from time to time.
What attracted the most attention were the two women who were dressed in light clothes, with their voluptuous bodies hidden from view.
They are the most seductive young woman age of the women, with bright eyes like stars, beautiful eyebrows, and delicate features.
They looked almost the same, but one was cold as ice, the other languid and charming, both half leaning on the man’s arms with sweet expressions.
These two ripe peaches, take out any one of them, are the kind of beauty that pulls out all the stops.
Once it’s in pairs, it can mean a lot more.
Xu Qi’an calmly retracted his gaze, he keenly detected the envious and jealous emotions of the pedestrians in the neighborhood, of course, he could detect such emotions, and he himself also envious and jealous did not have any concern.
What kind of jungle power is the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea? Twin sisters ……….. Xu Qi’an muttered, unable to bear to look any further, leading the little mare and quickly moving away.
………….
Asking questions along the way, the two arrived at the largest inn in Pingzhou.
Pingzhou was very rich, relying on its abundant iron ore and porcelain, plus the canal docks outside the city, and commerce was well-developed.
After Mu Nanjian read the “Geography of Dafeng” and thought that there is no delicious food here, in fact, there are all kinds of stores in the downtown area, selling all kinds of specialties and snacks.
As the largest “Fortune Inn” in town, it has an expansive three-story main building.
There were also a few elegant courtyards at the back, offered to guests of great wealth, such as the big dogs like Xu Qi’an.
This inn also has a great feature, the guests living in the elegant courtyard, when checking in, the shopkeeper will offer the city’s largest green house “celadon pavilion” in the girl’s portrait.
When a guest picks one, the inn will call that girl for you.
“Oh, the proprietor of the inn and the proprietor of the Celadon Pavilion are the same person.”
Xu Qi’an suddenly realized, then in Mu Nanjian’s cold and icy gaze, fondly threw the portrait back to Xiao Er, saying:
“No need, the gesture is average, I don’t see it.”
Inn junior panicked to hold the portrait, a thin pile, sniffed, obediently looked at Mu Nanjian.
“Then make yourself at home, if you need anything, just order, there’s always someone waiting outside the courtyard.”
He turned around with a big smile and skimmed.
For this old aunt’s looks, which girl in Celadon Court isn’t ten times better than her?
This customer looks young, although he looks mediocre, but he is generous, how can he look at a woman who is older and has no beauty?
Murphy has a strange fetish ………
Of course, what kind of fetish is not strange, the inn second has also seen like miserable green young man’s grandfather, the night outside the courtyard guard, heard the miserable green young man tearing his heart and lungs screams, really called people chrysanthemum tight.
Xu Qi’an and the First Beauty of Dafeng were sitting in the courtyard drinking yellow wine and enjoying their lunch, with a small fireplace at their feet, warming yellow wine infused with ginger and spices.
“This would be a good time to have an earthy egg, cracked into the yellow wine and cooked together ………”
Xu Qi’an suddenly remembered his old man’s taste for yellow wine in his previous life.
At that moment, a woman in an indigo dress pushed open the door to the courtyard without consent.
She swept her gaze around and said indifferently, “This brother, my master lives in this courtyard, so I hope that you will cut me off.”
She was arrogant, but she did her work in a proper manner, and fished out a gold ingot from her sleeve:
“This is my master’s compensation for you.”
Xu Qi’an recognized the clothes she was wearing, it was the team holding the flag of the “East Sea Dragon Palace” that he had met on the street not long ago.
The man who was suspected to be the Dragon Palace’s Palace Master was embracing a pair of twin sisters on his left and right.
…………
PS: Sorry, I’ve been having health problems lately, I’m a bit overwhelmed, and I have the feeling that I’m going to fall ill at any moment. The physical state is poor to a certain extent, one is able to vaguely notice the precursors. Mental state is also very depressing.
I’ll keep updating, but if I call in sick one day, I may need to take a long break. I’m sorry ah, tried my best.
