Chapter 606: Oddities

Xu Qi’an tilted his head and took a sip of wine, thinking:

“Lord Wei, my humble servant will report on his work first… After Emperor Yuan Jing’s death, the dragon’s energy collapsed, and the Great Feng is in danger…

“The Witch God Sect, the Buddhist Sect, and the lineage from five hundred years ago are all coveting dragon qi. After a month of traveling, I have collected three vital dragon qi and one scattered dragon qi.

“The Supervisor is saying that the scattered dragon qi can be ignored, and as long as the nine vital dragon qi are gathered, those scattered dragon qi will gather on their own.

“However, I reckon that it’s not really necessary to gather all nine dragon qi, because it’s too difficult, and as long as one of them is found by the enemy and brought back to the base camp, there’s nothing I can do at all.

“So, it should be collecting as much dragon energy as possible to stabilize the Da Feng whose building is about to fall, like more than half of the dragon energy collected would be enough. Or, the Supervisor is plotting something else in it, he is just too unfathomable.

“If Wei Gong you were still alive, I wouldn’t have to be so bitter ………”

Xu Qi’an took another sip of wine, accompanied by a soft sigh:

“Your donation did not bring about a change for the better in Da Bong, although the Supervisor and Zhao Shou said that you bought time for the Central Plains.

“All the way here, it is freezing cold, and what I have seen are things I can’t bear to see. When the people rise, they suffer; when they fall, they suffer. It is true that I am not deceived.

“I will try to lay down my life to change this situation, to save the Great Feng from the brink of extinction; it is equally a matter of my own life, and once the Great Feng is extinguished, I, who carry half of the nation’s fortune, will be martyred with it.

“Sometimes I feel lost and don’t know what the path should be, if only you were still alive.

“Ah yes, I’ve finally dual-cultivated with the State Master, she’s already my Dao Couple, but right now she should hate poking me with a sword. What a tigress ah ……..

“I used to purely crave for the body of the State Master, she’s just too beautiful and charming, and this period of dual cultivation has made me have some different feelings for her. This is probably the legendary getting on the bus first and then making up the ticket.

“The only bitter thing is that she is not too friendly ……… to my other women, but I can t suppress her, and when she calms down her karmic fire, after she crosses the tribulation, she will be a first class land deity.

“It’s desperate to think about it, and, perhaps, even more desperate for the Lincoln girls. Well, it’s my fault for being flirtatious and horny. Can a great lover like you, Lord Wei, understand me?

“When I recover my cultivation and reach the peak of the Third Grade, I will be able to dual cultivate with Mu Nanjian, and with my outstanding charisma, she definitely won’t reject it, but I don’t want to seize her Spiritual Embodiment.

“Perhaps the Ancient Taoist Sect’s Room Technique can solve this trouble to our mutual benefit.

“And ah, Huaiqing’s nature is also very strong and overbearing. When I went to see her yesterday, I was blocked from the house for half an hour on the grounds of physical inconvenience.

“Guess how I met her afterward, and I said, I haven’t gone over to Lin’an yet.

“She’s only just seen me now, and if she knew that I’d gone to the Linn …….. first.”

Xu Qi’an sat cross-legged on the ground, his back leaning against the bed, and while drinking, he glanced back at Wei Yuan and said helplessly:

“I’m sorry, I really don’t have the energy or time to collect the materials for the Soul Invoking Bell, and the situation has forced me to prioritize the collection of Dragon Qi.

“In the past, I would have chosen to resurrect you first. Now, I choose to save the country first, and this is a responsibility I must carry. When you first practiced martial arts, it was in order to step into the third rank, in order to take the Empress out of the capital.

“But then when you really had the cultivation and power to look down on the world, you chose to stay in the imperial court, willing to be Yuan Jing’s pawn, an imperial stitcher.

“There are two ways in the world, not to lose the life of the world.”

Xu Qi’an withdrew his gaze and continued to chatter:

“I’ve taken on a new disciple called Miao Youfang, with average qualifications but a very chivalrous heart, dreaming of being a top-notch warrior.

“I suddenly felt at that time that I should give him a chance, because it was you who gave me a chance in the first place, gave a chance to a person like me who had no relatives, and that’s how I got to be Xu Yinluo now.

“You train people for the court, and so do I.

“Lord Wei, this is the inheritance you gave me.”

The words were said and the jug of wine was at the bottom.

Xu Qi’an braced himself, bowed in front of the bed, finished his salute, and left the chamber.

While maintaining the ability to “move stars and change buckets” to prevent his breath from leaking out, he contacted Sun Xuanji with the help of the magic conch.

Unilateral contact, he said succinctly:

See you at the bottom of the building!

Without giving Brother Sun a chance to reply, he cut off the communication.

…………

When Sun Xuanji arrived at the underground layer, he happened to see Xu Qi’an rubbing his fifth senior sister’s messy hair.

“You wait well for me to return at the Szeth, not that I don’t want to take you with me, but that would be too dangerous.

“You don’t want to die young without marrying at a young age.”

Xu Qi’an felt the smoothness of the hair on her fingertips, Zhong Li looked unkempt, her hair was messy, and she often gave people the impression that she did not pay attention to personal hygiene.

But the hair is smooth, and there’s no odor, and it’s actually very clean.

Zhong Li didn’t resist Xu Qi’an’s touching of her head and argued in a small voice:

“Your chi can cancel out the bad luck, and nothing may happen to me.”

Senior Sister Zhong, you are a woman, but you don’t have any pussy ………. Xu Qi’an said in a deep voice:

“Have you forgotten Master Hengyuan’s boiling broth outside of Yongzhou City? Have you forgotten what happened in the underground palace? Have you forgotten all the unlucky encounters you had in my house?”

Zhong Li said, “But you now have dragon qi accompanying you, plus the original qi ……..”

Xu Qi’an glared at her, “You’re still not convinced?”

Zhong Li lowered his head, the aggrieved look of an aggravated man, not daring to speak.

Only then did Xu Qi’an look at Sun Xuanji and said:

“Senior Sun, please take the trouble to bring out the capital.”

He was afraid that the State Master was still making his rounds in the capital’s territory, and once he encountered it, the State Master’s little fist would pound him in the chest, pound him to death kind of thing.

Thinking differently, if anyone let their society die to this point, Xu Qi’an would also freak out.

Sun Xuanji let out a “hmm” and glanced at Zhong Li, saying:

“She ……..”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Qi’an had already handed over a pen and paper.

……… Sun Xuanji suddenly lost his desire to express himself, raised his foot and stepped heavily, and the teleportation array lit up, taking Xu Qi an and disappearing.

“Senior sister, are you trying to advance to the fourth rank earlier so that you can help him fend off future crises?”

Zhong Li sniffed and looked sideways, seeing the back of Yang Qianyi’s head poking out of the doorway.

She gave an honest “hmm”.

“What an eventful day.”

Yang Qianyi sighed and said, “When I’m done with the capital, I also have to take a trip to the Jianghu, Teacher Supervisor Zheng has arranged a mission for me. Although this dog thief Xu Qi’an is annoying, after all, we have been friends for a while, so I still have to help if I can.”

Zhong Li asked curiously:

“What else does Senior Brother Yang have going on in the capital?”

Yang Qianyi whispered:

“That’s a secret, but I can reveal some of it to you, well, it has to do with donations.”

Zhong Li came to a realization:

“Senior Brother Yang wants to donate all of the property of the Si Tian Supervisor again?”

“Ah this ……. How did you guess, no no no I didn’t think so, don’t you dare accuse me …….”

Yang Qianyi was incoherent for half a day and said in a disheveled manner, “Senior Sister Zhong, you remember to keep this a secret for me. I’m going to catch Supervising Teacher Zheng by surprise.”

…………

Yunzhou!

Subterranean Dragon City, Hilltop Stargazing Pavilion.

“Ahem ……..”

Hoarse coughs echoed in the tea room, and the middle-aged man in white, sitting at the edge of the case to make tea, covered his mouth and coughed from time to time.

Outside the tea room, on the lookout, stood a pylon-like golden figure.

He was eight feet tall, with perfect proportions, and wore a **exposed** surplice, with exposed muscles that looked like they were cast in gold.

His features were distinctly Western in character, and when he stood there, he had the uprightness and vigor of bamboo.

His gaze is deep and majestic, and those who look at him will have the illusion of being “in an abyss”.

“In your current state, within ten moves, you’ll be decapitated by the Supervisor Zheng.”

The golden figure opened his mouth to speak, his voice was clearly not loud, but it had a thunderous might.

“The backlash of qi on a warlock is far more terrifying than you can imagine.” Xu Pingfeng sighed softly as he patiently boiled the tea:

“To unleash a spell-killing technique on me by means of self-mutilation, that eldest son of mine has a fighting talent that is extremely terrifying. Give him another five or ten years, and rebellion will be nothing more than a joke.”

The golden figure overlooked the entire Subterranean City and slowly said:

“Faji Bodhisattva has never been found, or else his Yakushi Dharma could have cured your injuries.

“Since you can’t get up now, you need to focus on collecting Dragon Qi.

“The current situation is not good, the Deity Rohan has been captured, and at least half of the Demon Sealing Nails on the Buddha’s son have gone. Even if he hasn’t restored his undead body, he has always been able to barely reach third grade combat power.”

The white-robed warlock boiled the tea, took a sip, and laughed:

“Aren’t there two more Vajra and my Canglong Seven Constellations, and last night, when I looked at the stars, I realized that there was an additional brilliant star in the west. Is this the birth of a new luohan, or is it the awakening of a reincarnated luohan?”

“The youngest son of the Shura King has returned to the throne.” The golden figure said.

Xu Pingfeng nodded:

“The Shura race are natural warriors, both Buddhist and martial arts, and with the return of that young son to the throne, the Buddhist Sect is equal to having one more Vajra and one more Lohan at the same time.

“There’s no rush in collecting dragon qi’s, I have other plans, and since the Supervising Teacher is blocking us in Yunzhou, it’s just the right time to be idle and discuss the details of the aftermath of the uprising.”

After saying that, the white-clothed warlock and the golden figure simultaneously raised their heads and looked up at the sky.

In the azure sky, the clouds rolled and changed, condensing into a huge face that looked down on the earth with indifference and ruthlessness.

The Supervisor is positive!

………..

On this day, Xu Qi’an and his group came to the border of Jiangzhou and passed by a place called “Sheng Yi County”.

The walls were low, and at the entrance to the county town stood four pawns guarding the city, clutching spears and standing in a shrugged posture, shivering in the cold wind.

“This damn weather, the sun is like a pendulum.”

Miao Youfang cursed, he was only one step away from copper skin and iron bones, and had long since defied the cold and heat.

But his mentality is still that of “we the people”, and he instinctively puts himself in the shoes of the common man.

When I saw the pedestrians hunched over, I felt that I was also persecuted by the “cold wave”.

As the group entered the city, the main road was lined with bluestone slabs, strewn with cracks. The houses were low, not too shabby, but really a bit plain.

This means that the economy of Sheng Yi Prefecture is not in good shape.

Pedestrians come and go on the street in a hurry, each busy running around, their faces reddened by the cold wind, and if you look closely, you will find that most of them have frostbite on their hands.

The group found the restaurant on the street and sat down to eat.

“What would a few guests like to eat?”

The store assistant greeted him and pointed to the wooden plaques hanging on the wall, each of which had a dish written on it.

Xu Qi’an casually ordered a few plates and asked for three jugs of wine, asking with a smile:

“Junior, have you had any strange happenings here lately?”

Strange things …….. The shopkeeper looked left and right and whispered:

“Coincidentally, there have been a few oddities.”

………..

PS: I’m halfway through the second chapter, and I wanted to post both chapters together. But it’s impossible to rush in the “morning”. So the first chapter is sent out first.
