Nightwatcher

A little friend had an accident, was it No. 5, or another junior whom Daoist Jin Lian knew?

Xu Qi'an made a proper puzzled expression: "Where is that little friend of the Taoist priest, do you need me to mobilize the court?"

Priest Jin Lian shook her head and said, "She is in Xiangzhou."

Xiangzhou is in the south of the capital, and the distance is about 400 kilometers, neither near nor far. Xu Qi'an frowned and said: "The Taoist priest has something to do, I am duty-bound, but I have to go to the Yamen to ask for leave first, after all, it is a long way to go."

Daoist Jin Lian nodded: "You ask the servants of the mansion to ask for leave tomorrow, we will set off tonight, hurry up, where is the prophet?

"If you want to find someone, you must have the help of hopeful qi."

"She's in Sitianjian." Xu Qi'an let out a breath, and said in a joking tone, "All right, I'll go to her natal house and find her."

This prophet must be a woman No. 6 Hengyuan and No. 4 Chu Yuanzhen, and they made guesses in their hearts at the same time.

The three immediately entered the house and waited, while Xu Qi'an brought a filly from the backyard and rode it to Si Tianjian.

The lights of Si Tianjian were kept on all night, Xu Qi'an entered the lobby on the first floor, and asked the pharmacists who were doing research on Baogan: "Which brother can pass it on, I'll find Senior Sister Zhong Li."

The atmosphere suddenly became stiff, and the pharmacists exchanged glances, and then said, "Senior Sister Zhong Li is on the basement floor, please wait a moment"

A man in white entered inside, and a few seconds later, there was a loud voice: "Senior Sister Zhong Li, Mr. Xu is here to look for you."

After all, the sorcerer ran out in a hurry, as fast as if there was a big bug chasing after him.

In the lobby, other white clothes dropped their work and rushed to the stairs. In an instant, the hall was quiet, except for Xu Qi'an, there was no one else.

A few minutes later, Zhong Li came out from the inside, her hair was loose, she was wearing a coarse robe, and she lowered her head slightly.

Very standard mourning girl dress.

"I'm leaving Beijing to do something, and I'll be back soon. I need your strength." Xu Qi'an said bluntly without being polite.

"oh."

Zhong Li nodded concisely, as a tool person should be well-behaved.

The two left Si Tianjian side by side, Xu Qi'an rode a horse, Zhong Li walked, and the speed was not slower than that of a filly.

Not long after, he returned to the Xu Mansion and joined the three members of the Tiandihui headed by Taoist Jinlian.

Chu Yuanzhen said: "It is not suitable to fly in the inner city, let's go to the outer city, please trouble brother Xu to take us out of the city."

If he is alone, it's okay to fly to the sky and hide in the inner city. For Renzong's sake, the masters in the city will not take action to block or attack.

But if there are too many people, it will be impossible to turn a blind eye and close your eyes, which will only increase the trouble.

At the moment, Xu Qi'an led the three of them out of the mansion, and Xu Qi'an, Yin Luo, led the way. Whether it was the watchman or the sword guard, they only conducted routine interrogation and did not stop them.

On the way, Priest Jin Lian looked at Xu Qi'an and said in a deep voice, "No. 5 is missing."

Chu Yuanzhen immediately looked at Xu Qi'an.

Xu Qi'an said blankly: "What are you talking about, Daoist? Well, why didn't Daoist attach to the cat today?"

Daoist Jin Lian said calmly: "No. 5 is the serial number of the owner of the Earth Book Fragment. You should know this. It is thanks to you that you saved Hengyuan that day. Well, what do you think happened to the cat?"

Xu Qi'an said "Oh", "It's nothing, I just misremembered."

Priest Jinlian nodded in satisfaction.

Xu Qi'an also nodded in satisfaction.

Chu Yuanzhen looked at the two of them first, then at Hengyuan, and said with a smile, "Master Hengyuan who was rescued during the Sangbo case?"

Daoist Hengyuan clasped his hands together: "It was thanks to Mr. Xu."

Hengyuan was indeed involved in the Sangbo case. He said in the fragments of the underground book that it was all thanks to Xu Qi'an that he was able to escape from the prisoner's yamen. Now it seems that there is an inside story behind this matter. In other words, Xu Qi'an knew about the existence of the Heaven and Earth Society and the fragments of the Earth Book.

In this way, I am even more convinced of a guess. Although Daoist Jin Lian gave the fragments of the book from the ground to Xu Xinian, a student of Yunlu Academy, he actually wanted both.

Chu Yuanzhen smiled without saying a word.

When they arrived in the outer city, Chu Yuanzhen slapped his back, and the magic weapon of Renzong flew out with the sword and sheath, hanging in the air.

Daoist Jin Lian took out a paper crane from his bosom and tossed it lightly. The paper crane instantly transformed into a large bird with a body length of seven feet, flapping its wings and circling.

"I'll follow you, Daoist!" Xu Qi'an said quickly.

This fool will choose, Chu Yuanzhen is a standing ticket, and Daoist Jinlian is a seated ticket.

Hengyuan and Chu Yuanzhen leaped onto their scabbards, and flew away with a "swoosh".

After Xu Qi'an and Daoist Jin Lian sat on the white crane, they realized that there were not enough seats, and Zhong Li had no seat.

"Can warlocks fly?" Xu Qi'an asked the "mourning girl" below.

"No, the teleportation formation can only be used at the fourth rank." Zhong Li shook his head.

Xu Qi'an looked around and looked at his thighs.

"No problem!" Daoist Jin Lian took off the wooden hairpin and threw it to Zhong Li.

Zhong Li held the wooden hairpin, and under the leadership of it, rushed to the sky with a "swoosh", closely following Chu Yuanzhen's flying sword.

Daoist, you are taking a narrow road, Xu Qi reassured.

The white crane flutters its wings and flies.

The flying swords, paper cranes and wooden hairpins were getting higher and higher, and slowly, the scenery on the surface began to blur.

Hu Yunwu broke through, and a sword and a crane broke through the clouds.

The night sky was as blue as washing, with a crescent moon hanging, and the sea of ​​clouds under my feet was solidified, motionless.

The world instantly became silent.

"We've entered the stratosphere." Xu Qi'an said via voice transmission.

He couldn't open his eyes because of the strong wind, and the voice that came out of his mouth would be torn apart by the strong wind immediately, and the communication could only be through sound transmission.

Priest Jin Lian also closed his eyes, and replaced his eyes with Yuanshen. After receiving Xu Qi'an's voice transmission, he asked in surprise, "Stratosphere?"

"I'm just talking nonsense, Taoist priest, let's talk about the situation on the fifth." Xu Qi'an passed by voice transmission.

"The last time the Tiandihui's internal communication ended, No. 5 didn't respond. At that time, I could still sense the location of the Book of the Earth fragments in Xiangzhou. The next day, I suddenly lost the sense of fragments." Daoist Jin Lian said in a deep voice. road.

"Did No. 5 encounter the Earth Sect Demon Dao?" Xu Qi'an's face changed slightly, and he gave a guess.

"It's possible." Daoist Jinlian nodded.

That's why you invited me, Hengyuan, and Chu Yuanzhen to act together. The Taoist priest still has a strong desire to survive. Xu Qi'an nodded and evaluated his own combat power.

On the surface, he is a warrior system, but in fact, Chu Yuanzhen, who is a master of swordsmanship, should have a real combat power of four ranks.

On the surface it is the Buddhist system, but in fact it is Wufu's No. 6 Hengyuan. This is hard to judge, after all, they have never fought against each other. Hengyuan also has very little combat experience.

Then there is Daoist Jinlian. I remember that he was hunted down by Zilian of the fourth rank and fled all the way to the capital. Daoist Jinlian's strength should not be weaker than that of the fourth rank.

The reason is that he was not injured by Zilian, but by the bewitched Daoist chief. Even so, he was still able to escape from the pursuit of the fourth-rank purple lotus.

If we encounter the demonic way of the Earth Sect, then below the third rank, we are as stable as an old dog, Xu Qi'an thought.

An hour later, Daoist Jin Lian sent a voice transmission to everyone: "Here we are, the area with a radius of a hundred miles below him should be the place where No. 5 disappeared. I still haven't sensed the fragments of the book from the ground."

The crowd descended from the clouds and dived towards the ground.

The surface changed from blurred to clear, Xu Qi'an saw the outline of a big city in the east, and with the big city as the core, there were many villages and small towns scattered.

The four of them landed in a mountain forest. Daoist Jinlian and Chu Yuanzhen sat cross-legged in meditation to recover their energy.

Hengyuan protected the law for them, while Xu Qi'an wandered alone in the mountains and forests, killing two pheasants and one roe deer.

Returning to the meditation site, Xu Qi'an asked: "Which one of you brought the pot?"

"I brought it."

Chu Yuanzhen opened his eyes, and just wanted to get up and walk into the nearby forest, took out the iron pot, and then thought, since Xu Qi'an knew the existence of the fragments of the book from the ground, there was no need to hide it.

So they took out the fragments of the book on the ground, took out the iron pot, and the four of them lit two bonfires, which were used to stew broth and barbecue respectively.

No matter which system it is, after consumption, energy must be replenished, and the body cannot generate strength out of thin air.

"I still have wine here"

Chu Yuanzhen took out two more jars of wine, served them with barbecued meat and broth, and explained: "When you travel north and south, you must take two things with you. One, pots and pans. Two, toilet paper."

Xu Qi'an raised the porcelain vase, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Now there is a third item: chicken essence."

Chu Yuanzhen immediately nodded in agreement.

Xu Ningyan is a wonderful person, interesting!

Chu Yuanzhen has no flaws, but I can't give up, I must find a way to kill him.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After drinking and eating, Daoist Jin Lian picked up a dead branch and tied up his gray hair. Then, his face suddenly froze.

"Where's the prophet?"

Hearing this, Xu Qi'an's face suddenly became stiff, what the hell, where is Zhong Li?

"I remember she was still by my side when we landed, but later, I forgot about her somehow." Xu Qi'an's face turned pale.

"It should be nearby. Let's look for it together. You must be careful. Also, hurry up." Taoist Priest Jin Lian said in a deep voice:

"This is more urgent than saving number five. Number five may be fine, but if you are a prophet, you may be late."

Hengyuan didn't understand the warlock system, so he asked, "So what?"

Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice, "It's getting cold."

Priest Jinlian nodded silently.

The four quickly dispersed, and after a quarter of an hour, Xu Qi'an found Zhong Li. When she landed, she fell into a deep pit. Then the woman crouched in the deep pit without moving.

It wasn't until Xu Qi'an found him and heard his voice that Zhong Li crawled out.

Beside the bonfire, Zhong Li sat with his back facing the crowd, hugging his knees on the ground, with thin shoulders and a lonely back.

"I really didn't forget you on purpose, don't be angry, okay?"

Xu Qi'an apologized and explained: "I am, I just forgot it accidentally."

Zhong Li sat there with her knees hugged, ignoring him.

Chu Yuanzhen gave a "tsk" and watched the play with a smile.

Master Hengyuan clasped his hands together and said puzzledly, "There is no danger around, why didn't Master Zhong come out by himself?"

"It's not dangerous to you." Zhong Li said in a low voice: "According to my past experience, in such a situation, it is the safest way to stay where you are and wait for rescue.

"If I come out, I will encounter all kinds of crises, maybe a meteorite falls from the sky, maybe I encounter a passing demon, evil cultivator, etc.

"Bad luck cannot be spied on, nor can it be divined. It can happen at any time, just like"

Before he finished speaking, the bonfire suddenly slapped, splashing a string of sparks, which ignited Zhong Li's hair.

"careful!"

Heng Yuan's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously picked up the hot broth and poured it on Zhong Li.

At that time, Xu Qi'an stood in front of Zhong Li, waved his air machine, and swept away all the scalding broth.

Zhong Li hugged Xu Qi'an's thigh, shivering.

Chu Yuanzhen was dumbfounded.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

In the atmosphere of silence, Heng Yuan clasped his hands together and said compassionately: "Benefactor Zhong, even if there are thousands of Buddha lamps in the world, they still cannot illuminate the darkness around you. Amitabha."

Taoist Priest Jinlian and Chu Yuanzhen clasped their hands together and said with compassion: "Amitabha."

Daoist priest, you are a big Taoist, although Zhong Li is miserable when you recite the name of the Buddha, I just want to laugh at Xu Qi'an and complain in his heart.

He reached out and touched Zhong Li's head as a sign of comfort.

"Just now, when I landed just now, I found that there is a problem with the Feng Shui nearby. There is a large tomb under the mountains to the south." Zhong Li said in a low voice.
