Chapter 72 – Taoist Earth Sect

[Nine: Where are you?

Xu Qi’an stared at the mirror and froze for half a day, the mirror spoke? It was a self-aware baby?

What does “Jiu” mean, this mirror is called Jiu?

No, if it were the mirror’s self-spirit, it wouldn’t ask the question, “Where are you?” Because I sleep in the same bed with you, every day.

Xu Qi’an stared at the mirror and fell into deep thought.

He was thinking about four questions:

One, what is the treasure of mirrors that, in addition to organizing items, they can also receive information?

Two, is this a message? If so, who sent it.

Three, who is the old Taoist priest and why did he gift me the mirror.

Four, should I respond?

Being cautious, Xu Qi’an, adhering to the idea of “as long as I pretend it doesn’t exist, then it doesn’t exist”, silently put away the mirror and didn’t intend to respond.

And, he didn’t know how to respond.

Coming into the courtyard, burying his head in the water tank and dipping it, drying it with a sweat towel, Xu Qi’an left the small courtyard.

He has joined the night watchman, but his official start time is the day after tomorrow, and the night watchman’s court will have to prepare uniforms and gongs for him.

It was still early, two moments after noon.

Xu Qi’an first went to the Changle County Yamen to inform his fellow officers and County Magistrate Zhu of his becoming a night watchman.

County Magistrate Zhu’s side had already gotten the news, as the night watchman had taken Xu Qi’an’s household registration from the Changle County Office in advance.

Xu Qi’an and his fellow officers and magistrate Zhu had arranged to have dinner together in the evening, both as a farewell banquet and a congratulatory banquet to celebrate his promotion and wealth.

The location is of course chosen not far from the county government office Xiaoyue Hall, official socializing, the green house is the first choice.

Before that, Xu Qi’an planned to go to the hookah and settle for lunch while listening to a song.

…..

The farewell feast began at shenzhen and lasted until three minutes past ten.

During the banquet, Magistrate Zhu sighed tersely, “Ning Banquet, ah, you’re a person who came out of my Changle County Yamen, and it’s a blessing for our Changle County that you’re able to become a night watchman. This official used to think highly of you …..”

He paused and raised his glass for a drink.

If I can continue to move up the ladder …. Zhu magistrate is probably my first quite trustworthy network in the officialdom …. Xu Qi’an understood and followed suit, drinking from his cup.

End of the dinner, the Yamen fast men are not gone, the pimp called a group of youthful and beautiful girls, brought to the elegant room for the officials to choose.

The posture is not bad, put aside in my last life, is the club model row into a line of …. Xu Qi’an shook his head, tasted the sweetness of the floating incense kind of beauty, unusual women he somewhat can not see.

After Xu Qi’an had put Magistrate Zhu and his fellow Racers in order, he left the Xiao Yue Pavilion and headed in the direction of his home.

When he came to the door of the courtyard, he found the lock unlocked and candlelight coming through the house.

Uncle Two came to see me?

Xu Qi’an pushed open the courtyard door and entered the house.

In the dusk candlelight, the young girl in the plain dress sat at the table, one hand propping up her forehead, her head a little bit.

Xu Qi’an immediately swept her eyes at the cabinet next to the bed, seeing no signs of opening, her heart was slightly relieved.

“Well, perhaps I might consider keeping a journal in English.”

He walked over and gently nudged Xu Ling Yue awake.

“Where did big brother go… “Xu Lingyue opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes confused for a while, followed by a flood of joy.

Her sharp melon face was like a warm, unblemished jade in the candlelight. The eyes, on the other hand, sparkled with light.

“Why are you here.” Xu Qi’an said.

She said in a thin voice, “Why didn’t big brother come home for dinner, father said big brother must have gone to a green house.”

Uncle Two is so damn …. Understand me!

Xu Qi’an said, “No, no, it’s just normal socializing, I went to the night watchman’s yamen, so I invited my fellow officers to dinner.”

However, it is normal that the second uncle will think so, normal martial artists, it is not easy to step into the qi practicing realm, after holding it for ten or twenty years, surely a thousand essences must be dispersed before they will give up.

“Big brother has been drinking …. Since I’ve already eaten, I’ll go back now, there are still hot dishes in the kitchen.” Xu Ling Yue listened to her big brother’s explanation and smiled somewhat happily.

Xu Qi’an was a bit touched, in this family, apart from the second uncle, this sister was the one who treated him the best.

“Well…it’s dark, going out and walking at night isn’t safe in the end, big brother will give you a ride.”

Xu Ling Yue did not refuse, from the small courtyard out to the main entrance of the Xu Mansion, there were roughly two to three hundred meters, it was indeed unsafe for a weak woman to travel alone.

But she didn’t expect Xu Qi’an to bring her to the corner of the courtyard, take hold of the surplus small slender waist, and take a leap in the air, even choosing to climb over the wall.

As soon as her toes hit the ground, she pushed Xu Qi’an away in a hurry, thin as a mosquito, “Many thanks to big brother.”

Seeing Xu Ling Yue’s back disappear, Xu Qi’an leapt forward and returned to his own courtyard.

At that moment, he had another inexplicable heart palpitation, and pulled out the small jade mirror in his pocket, and a small line of words slowly floated on the clean mirror surface:

[Nine: Where are you?

Xu Qi’an frowned at what was going on.

The news was converging again and again, and it always felt like a hidden problem when it wasn’t addressed.

Xu Qi’an leaned his back against the wall and thought for a long time before deciding to reply to the message.

There were two reasons for the reply: one, the mirror was now ultimately his possession, and it would be a good thing for him to benefit from a thorough figuring out of its functions and divinities.

It’s like wielding an AK47 as a crutch when you clearly have it in your hand.

Second, he suspected that the message was from that old Taoist priest, and if so, he would be able to figure out along the way why the other party wanted to give him the treasure.

The gift of the unknown is ultimately unsettling to the heart.

Xu Qi’an tries voice input, “Oh, in the shower.”

No change in the clean mirror.

Xu Qi’an switched to a different approach, using his fingers instead of a pen to write this sentence on the mirror.

A miraculous scene occurs, and a line of text emerges from the mirror: [Three: Oh, in the shower.]

By touching and conveying thought?

Does the three stand for the serial number of my mirror …. The other side is Nine. He has a mirror too?

[Nine: Who are you?

Xu Qi’an didn’t answer him.

The opposite side also fell into silence, and after a few minutes, the message came again: [Jiu: Where is Senior Golden Lotus, is he dead or alive, and how did you get this mirror. Are you from the Heaven and Earth Society?!

Jinlian senior brother should be the Taoist priest who gifted me the mirror, this Jiu called him senior brother, the two are the same door ….

Tiandihui, how is it that there are still anti-Qing and anti-Ming people in other worlds.

After roughly figuring out the other party’s identity, Xu Qi’an breathed a sigh of relief and used his finger as a pen to input the information:

[3: I’m not a member of the Tiandihui Society. This mirror was given to me by an old Taoist priest.]

[Jiu: How do you prove that you are not a member of the Tiandihui Society, give the poor Taoist your name.]

Xu Qi’an had the feeling that the reader had asked you for the receiving address with the intention of sending you some local specialties, and he instinctively resisted and did not agree.

[Sam: Taoist Master, I’m just a nobody.]

After a while.

Where is the Taoist priest who gave you the mirror?

[III: I don’t know.] Xu Qi’an finished posting and waited quietly to see what the other party would say.

[Jiu: Poverty Purple Lotus, that Taoist priest who gifted you the mirror is Poverty’s senior brother, this mirror, is our Earth Sect’s magic treasure.

Oh, since Senior Brother gifted you the mirror, I’m sure Your Excellency is no ordinary person, and I’m sure you’ve heard of my Earth Sect’s great name.]

Xu Qi’an replied, [3: Sorry, nothing.].

There was silence over there for half a day, and no emotion was visible as he replied, [Jiu: The Taoist Sect is divided into three sects, Heaven, Earth, and Humans].

So it was someone from the Dao Sect…Xu Qi’an’s spirits lifted.
