Chapter 1298: Strange things (1)
Xu Qi ‘an took a sip of wine, thought for a while, and said,
“Duke of Wei, I’d like to report my work first. After Emperor Yuan jing’s death, the Dragon Qi has dispersed and Da Feng is in imminent danger.
“The witch God religion, the Buddhist League, and the branch from 500 years ago are all coveting the Dragon Qi. After a month of traveling, I’ve collected three vital Dragon Qi.
“The supervisor said that we can ignore the scattered Dragon Qi. As long as we gather the nine vital Dragon Qi, the scattered Dragon Qi will gather on its own.
“However, I guess that it’s not necessary to gather all nine Dragon Qi because it’s too difficult. As long as one of the Dragon Qi is found by the enemy and brought back to the base camp, I won’t be able to do anything.
therefore, I should try my best to collect as much dragon energy as possible to stabilize Da Feng, which is on the verge of collapse. For example, it’s enough to collect more than half of the Dragon energy. Or maybe he had other plans, he was too deep.
if you were still alive, I wouldn’t be so troubled …
Xu Qi ‘an took another sip of wine and sighed softly.
“Your sacrifice didn’t bring any good changes to Da Feng, even though the supervisor and Zhao Shou said that you bought time for the Central Plains.
“On this journey, the weather was cold and the ground was freezing. All I saw were things I couldn’t bear to see. Prosperity meant suffering for the people, and death meant suffering for the people. You’re not lying to me.
“I will try to change this situation with my life and save Da Feng from the brink of destruction. This is also related to my own life. Once Da Feng is destroyed, I, who carries half of the country’s fate, will also die with the country.
“Sometimes I feel lost and don’t know where to go. If only you were still alive.
“Ah, that’s right, I’ve finally dual cultivated with the state preceptor. She’s already my Dao companion, but she should be dying to stab me to death with her sword now. She’s really a tigress …
“In the past, I was purely coveting the state preceptor’s body. She was simply too beautiful and too charming. During this period of dual cultivation, I have some different feelings for her. This was probably the legendary ‘get on the bus first, pay for the ticket later’.
the only thing that’s troubling me is that she’s not too friendly to my other women … However, I can’t suppress her. After she subsides her karmic fire and undergoes tribulation, she’ll become a first-grade demigod.
“Just thinking about it makes me feel despair. Perhaps, Lin ‘an and the rest are even more desperate. Alright, it’s my fault for being lecherous. Lord Wei, can a Saint of love like you understand me?
when I recover my cultivation and reach the peak of level three, I can dual cultivate with mu nanzhi. With my outstanding charm, she will definitely not reject me, but I don’t want to take her spiritual energy.
“Perhaps the room technique of the ancient Dao sect can solve this problem and let us benefit from it.
“Also, huaiqing’s personality is very strong and overbearing. I went to see her yesterday, but she blocked me outside the house for an hour with the excuse that it was inconvenient for me.
“Guess How I Met her after that. I said,I haven’t gone to Lin ‘an yet.
“She just saw me. If she knew that I went to Lin. an first …”
Xu Qi ‘an sat cross-legged on the ground, leaning against the bed. As he drank, he turned to look at Wei Yuan and said helplessly, ”
“I’m sorry, I really don’t have the energy and time to collect the materials for the soul-summoning Bell. The situation has forced me to put collecting Dragon Qi as my first priority.
“In the past, I would have chosen to resurrect you first. “Now, I choose to save the country first. This is a responsibility that I must shoulder. “When you first started practicing martial arts, it was to achieve rank-3 and to bring the Empress out of the capital.
“However, when you really did possess the cultivation and power to look down on the common people, you chose to stay in the Imperial court. You were willing to be yuan jing’s chess piece, to be an Empire’s seamstress.
“In this world, there’s a law that has both sides, not letting down the common people and not letting down the Minister.”
Xu Qi ‘an retracted her gaze and continued to Jabber on.
“I’ve accepted a new disciple, his name is Miao Youfang. His aptitude is average, but he has a very chivalrous heart. His dream is to become a hero of indomitable spirit.
“At that time, I suddenly felt that I should give him a chance, because you were the one who gave me a chance, a chance for someone like me who has no family or friends, and that’s why Xu yinluo is who she is now.
“You cultivate talents for the Imperial court, and so do I.
“Duke of Wei, this is the inheritance you gave me.”
After he finished speaking, the pot of wine was finished.
Xu Qi ‘an propped herself up and bowed in front of the bed. After that, she left the secret room.
While maintaining the star shifting technique to prevent his aura from leaking out, he contacted sun Xuanji with the help of the conch.
It was a one-sided call, and he simply said, ”
See you downstairs!
Without giving senior Brother Sun a chance to reply, he cut off the communication.
When sun Xuanji arrived at the first underground floor, he saw Xu Qi ‘an ruffling fifth Junior sister’s messy hair.
“Wait for me to return at the Directorate of Celestials. It’s not that I don’t want to bring you along, but it’s too dangerous.
“You don’t want to die young and unmarried, do you?”
Xu Qi ‘an felt the smoothness of her hair on her fingertips. Zhong Li looked unkempt and unkempt, often giving people the impression that she didn’t pay attention to personal hygiene.
However, her hair was smooth, and she didn’t have any strange smells on her body. She actually liked to be clean.
Zhong Li didn’t resist Xu Qi ‘an’s touch and explained in a low voice, ”
your luck can offset bad luck. I might not be in trouble.
Senior martial sister Zhong, you’re a woman, but you don’t have any self-awareness at all … Xu Qi ‘an said in a deep voice, ”
“Have you forgotten about master Heng Yuan’s boiling meat soup outside Yongzhou City? Have you forgotten what happened in the underground palace? Have you forgotten all the unfortunate things you’ve experienced in my house?”
Zhong Li said,”but you have the Dragon Qi with you now, plus your original luck …”
“Are you still not convinced?” Xu Qi ‘an glared at her.
Zhong Li lowered her head and looked like she had been wronged. She didn’t dare to speak.
Xu Qi ‘an then looked at sun Xuanji and said, ”
“Senior Brother Sun, I’ll have to trouble you to take me out of the capital.”
He was afraid that the state preceptor was still patrolling the capital. If he met him, the state preceptor’s little fists would beat his chest until he died.
If Xu Qi ‘an were to put himself in his shoes, he would also go crazy if anyone caused his society to die to this extent.
Sun Xuanji nodded and looked at Zhong Li, ”
“She …”
Xu Qi ‘an had already handed him a pen and paper.
Sun Xuanji suddenly lost his desire to express himself. He lifted his foot and stomped on the ground. The teleportation formation lit up and he disappeared with Xu Qi ‘an.
“Junior Sister, you want to ascend to the fourth stage as soon as possible so that you can help him resist the crisis in the future?”
Zhong Li turned her head to the side and saw yang qianhuan peeking out from the door.
“Yes,” she replied honestly.
“What an eventful autumn.”
Yang qianhuan sighed and said,”after I’m done with the matters in the capital, I’ll have to make a trip to the underworld. Teacher Jian Zheng has given me a task.” Although Xu Qi ‘an is annoying, we’re friends after all, so I should help him if I can.”
Zhong Li asked curiously, ”
“Senior brother yang, is there anything else you need to do in the capital?”
Yang qianhuan whispered, ”
that’s a secret, but I can reveal some things to you. Yes, it’s related to donations.
Zhong Li was enlightened, ”
“Senior brother yang wants to donate all of si Tian Jian’s wealth again?”
“Ah, this … How did you guess that? no, no, no, I didn’t think that way. Don’t accuse me …”
Yang qianhuan stuttered incoherently for a long time before saying dejectedly, “”Junior martial sister Zhong, remember to keep this a secret for me. I’m preparing to catch teacher Jian Zheng off guard.”
Yunzhou!
Hidden Dragon City, mountain peak stargazing Pavilion.
“Cough cough …”
The sound of a hoarse cough echoed in the tea room. A middle-aged man in white was sitting by the table and brewing tea, covering his mouth and coughing from time to time.
On the observation deck outside the tea room stood a golden figure that looked like an iron tower.
He was eight feet tall and his body was perfectly proportioned. He wore a half-naked Kasaya, and his exposed muscles looked like they were cast from gold.
His facial features clearly had the characteristics of the Western regions. When he stood there, he was as straight and strong as a bamboo joint.
His eyes were deep and majestic, and those who looked into his eyes would have the illusion of being in an abyss.
“In your current state, you’ll be killed within ten moves.”
The Golden figure opened his mouth and spoke. His voice was not loud, but it had a thunderous might.
“The backlash of luck on warlocks is far more terrifying than you think.” Xu Pingfeng patiently brewed the tea and sighed.
“To use a self-mutilating curse on me, my eldest son’s combat talent is extremely terrifying. If he’s given another five or ten years, rebellion will be a joke.”
The Golden figure looked down at the entire Hidden Dragon City and slowly said, ”
“We haven’t been able to find Bodhisattva Faji. Otherwise, his apothecary Dharma could have treated your injuries.
“Since you can’t do anything now, you have to focus on collecting Dragon Qi.
“The current situation is not good. The emotionless Arhat has been captured, and at least half of the demon-sealing nails on the Arhat have been removed. Even if he doesn’t recover his immortal body, he’s always been able to reach the third grade.”
The white-robed sorcerer finished brewing the tea, took a sip, and smiled.
“Aren’t there still the two vajras and my Azure Dragon’s seven constellations? last night, when I observed the stars, I discovered that there was an additional brilliant star in the West. Is this the birth of a new Arhat or the awakening of a reincarnated Arhat?”
“The Shura King’s youngest son has returned to the throne.” The Golden figure said.
Xu Pingfeng nodded, ”
“The Shura are natural Warriors who cultivate both martial arts and Buddhist arts. With the young son’s return, the Buddhist sect has gained a Vajra and an Arhat.
there’s no hurry to collect the Dragon Qi. I have another plan. Since teacher Jian Zheng has trapped us in Yunzhou, we can have some time to discuss the details after the event.
After saying that, the white-robed sorcerer and the Golden figure raised their heads at the same time and looked up at the sky.
In the blue sky, the clouds churned and changed, condensing into a huge face that looked down at the earth coldly.
Supervisor!
One day, Xu Qi ‘an and his group arrived at Jiang Prefecture and passed by a place called Yi County.
The city walls were low, and four soldiers stood at the gate of the county city. They held Spears and stood in a drooping posture, shivering in the cold wind.
what the hell is this weather? the sun is just like a decoration.
Miao Youfang cursed. He was only one step away from having skin of copper and bones of iron, and had long since become unafraid of the cold and heat.
However, his mentality was still that of ” us commoners “. He instinctively put himself in the perspective of the commoners.
Looking at the stooped bodies of the pedestrians, they felt that they were also harmed by the ‘cold current’.
As they entered the city, the flagstone of the main road was full of cracks. The house was low, and although it wasn’t too shabby, it was quite ordinary.
This meant that Yi County’s economic situation was not good.
The pedestrians on the street were in a hurry, each busy running around. Their faces were red from the cold wind, and if one looked carefully, one would find that most people had chilblains on their hands.
The group found a restaurant facing the street and sat down to eat.
“What would you like to eat?”
The waiter came forward and pointed to the wooden signs hanging on the wall. Each wooden sign had a dish written on it.
Xu Qi ‘an ordered a few dishes and three pots of wine. He asked with a smile, ”
“Waiter, have there been any strange things happening here recently?”
Strange … The waiter looked around and whispered, ”
“What a coincidence, there really are a few strange things.”
