Nightwatcher

Song Qing ran out of the secret room in a hurry, and after a few breaths, she came in with a thick blue book, and handed it to Xu Qi'an respectfully.

Today, the warlocks of the Sitianjian are accustomed to using the blue book as their manuscripts, and hope to form a tradition. I believe that after a few generations, the blue book will be linked to alchemy and equated.

In the future, when the outside world talks about the alchemy of warlocks, they will use the blue book to refer to it.

Xu Qi'an, the first generation founder of Blue Book, took Song Qing's alchemy handbook, opened it, and glanced at it.

It's too long to not look at it and can't understand it. He pretended to read for a long time, sometimes nodding and sometimes shaking his head.

The members of the Heaven and Earth Congregation, as well as Song Qing, had their eyes fixed on him. When Xu Qi'an closed the book, Song Qing couldn't wait to ask:

"Young Master Xu, is there any mistake?"

Li Miaozhen and others put on a posture of listening attentively and looked at him intently.

"There are still many problems, Senior Brother Song, this road is long, you need to search up and down, don't slack off." Xu Qi'an sighed with emotion, earnestly and kindly.

"So, what's the problem?"

Before Song Qing finished speaking, Xu Qi'an interrupted him, saying: "Senior Brother Song, you must know that alchemy has its limits. Regarding your works, I have an idea for your reference."

Song Qing's eyes lit up immediately, and he was distracted, and asked urgently: "Young Master Xu, I knew you must have a solution. If you were present when I was nurturing him, it would definitely be better than it is now."

No, at that time I can only call 666 at the side

"As far as I know, there is a kind of heavenly material and earthly treasure in the world, called Nine-Color Lotus, which can enlighten all things, even stones can produce spiritual wisdom. Your human body needs its enlightenment."

"Nine-color lotus, nine-color lotus," Song Qing murmured, "There is such a magical thing in the world."

Everyone in Tiandi Hui suddenly realized that Xu Qi'an's method was feasible.

That's right, the nine-color lotus can enlighten all things, so it can naturally enlighten this physical body. As long as he opens his mind, Susu will be able to possess Li Miaozhen's face, and she immediately has a goal, and she is no longer confused.

Susu wished that the nine-color lotus would mature immediately, so that she could harvest a brand new body.

"No, no, I want to be a girl, I want to be a man, but if it's a man, I don't have to give Xu Ningyan a child, uh, what if he still wants me to be his concubine?"

The scene of harvesting a man's body and being beaten and demanded by Xu Qi'an came to Susu's mind, and she shuddered severely.

"The nine-color lotus is a treasure of the Earth Sect. In fact, it is also one of the materials for alchemy. After all, everything can be used for alchemy." Xu Qi'an laughed.

"All things can be alchemy." Song Qing was convinced and said with emotion:

"Young master Xu, you are an alchemy genius that I really admire. I was even angry that your second uncle never sent you to the Sitian Supervisor to learn art."

No, my second uncle is pitiful enough, let him go!

This trip to the Sitianjian was like opening a new chapter for Susu. For others, the feelings are much more complicated. On the one hand, they are shocked by Song Qing's attainments in alchemy.

On the one hand, he feels physically and mentally uncomfortable with his alchemy of life.

Before parting, Xu Qi'an pulled Song Qing to a secluded place and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Song, I want to ask you something."

"you say."

Song Qing never refuses Xu Qi'an's request.

"I need you to refine a female body for that Mei to attach to, and then I will find a way to get a nine-color lotus." Xu Qi'an said.

"Okay, I will definitely do it." Song Qing became excited when she heard that Xu Qi'an could get a nine-color lotus.

"But I also have conditions." Xu Qi'an's voice became deeper and deeper: "First of all, the female body must be beautiful, especially beautiful. Then, here"

He dragged his chest slightly, and said furtively, "This place must be big."

Song Qing was not interested in women, she frowned and asked, "What is the definition of "big"?"

He needs a point of reference.

Xu Qi'an thought for a while, and answered rigorously: "Caiwei's third power."

For Xu Qi'an, Si Tianjian's trip this time is very necessary, and it can be regarded as fulfilling the original promise.

He is a person who attaches great importance to promises, and he has always been like this in his past and present lives.

After leaving Si Tianjian, Chu Yuanzhen and Heng Yuan left, and Xu Qi'an took Li Miaozhen, Su Su, and Lina to the Xu Mansion.

The big-eyed cute girl Chu Caiwei saw her off from thousands of miles away, and she was sent to Xu's mansion, so she decided to have dinner at Xu's mansion.

After dinner, Chu Caiwei decided to rest in Xu's mansion again, and shared the bed with Lina, and the situation was very good.

After the banquet was over, Xu Qi'an went into Erlang's study room, seeing the younger brother reading a book by the desk with a light on, he joked with a smile:

"How did you play with Miss Wang today?"

Xu Erlang suddenly showed a weird look, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, I think Miss Wang's family covets my beauty."

The wording is wrong, but it means that Xu Qi'an was a little surprised, but Xu Erlang actually reacted?

Xu Erlang is not a fool, and his emotional intelligence is not low, but he lacks experience in dealing with women. He didn't recall the previous two times, and was immersed in the state of fighting wits and courage with Wang Shoufu (air).

"She often praised me for being good-looking, and she also showed that she wanted to get close to me in her behavior." Xu Xinian frowned.

"Then what do you mean?" Xu Qi'an asked.

"Wang Shoufu and Wei Yuan are political enemies, and the elder brother is Wei Yuan's confidant. How can I have entanglements with Miss Wang's family?" Xu Xinian expressed his attitude.

I have always wanted Erlang to be branded as an "eunuch". I was worried that he had no backer in the court. If he could seek refuge with Wang Shoufu, such a thing would not be a joke. Who knows if my idea will push Erlang into the fire pit?

Xu Qi'an thought for a long time, and said in words: "You decide for yourself, you have to walk on your own feet in the future. In the court, there is no permanent enemy. Didn't Wei Gong and Wang Shoufu join hands to rectify the ills of the subordinates now?

"Also, even if you and Ms. Wang have a good relationship in the future, she will marry into the Xu family, not you. There is an essential difference here, you are still free."

Xu Nian was a little embarrassed, his face flushed slightly, "Brother said this as if I really have something to do with Miss Wang."

He then frowned and said, "Besides, she likes me because she thinks I look good. If I look scary, will she still like me?"

Xu Qi'an answered him: "It depends on how the word "long" is pronounced."

He didn't think there was anything wrong with Miss Wang coveting Xu Erlang's beauty. If you like someone, shouldn't you start with your face.

He likes Lin'an, Huaiqing, Caiwei, Li Miaozhen, Susu, Lina, and even Guoshi, because they are all good-looking.

He also likes the beauties in horses like the filly, and he thinks it's tight if he doesn't ride for a day.

As for Zhong Li's disheveled hair and her true face, Xu Qi'an reserves the right to like her.

Back in the room, he punched slowly in the room according to the method recorded in "Xingmai Lun", to feel the movement of his own qi, feel the flow of blood, and feel the stretching and contraction of muscles during exertion.

Half an hour later, Xu Qi'an sat at the table, took the warm tea from Zhong Li, and said to himself:

"It's too slow. The Theory of Xingmai is at most an auxiliary function. Whether it can achieve Huajin depends on me personally. Let alone the fourth rank at the end of the year, even the fifth rank will be difficult.

"I have to find a way to improve my strength. My luck is gradually awakening. The mastermind behind the scenes will not just sit idly by. Even with the guardian and gods protecting me, I am not absolutely safe. The other party is a warlock of at least the third rank, and there may be stronger ones behind it." power.

"Haste makes waste. Although it is difficult to transform strength, at least you can slowly improve. The promotion of the title and the increase of power are the most difficult things for me."

In the past, he chose to stay in the capital because the capital was prosperous and materially rich, but he also had the arrogance of "it's a big deal for me to wander the rivers and lakes".

But now, he wants to grab more power in the imperial court. His own strength and the power he holds complement each other, and he will be able to fight against the "creditor" in the future.

Therefore, he lacks opportunities now, and lacks opportunities to make meritorious deeds.

"Unfortunately, the year of Jingcha has passed, and now the capital is calm. I don't have many opportunities to make meritorious deeds." Xu Qi'an sighed and turned to thinking about how to improve his cultivation.

An idea flashed through his mind just now:

""Sword of Heaven and Earth" gathers the energy of the whole body in one move, and Huajin also twists the energy into one, without wasting a single bit, and bursts out the greatest strength at the smallest cost. The two are similar in purpose."

The idea surprised him sincerely, and he couldn't wait to test it out.

Xu Qi'an stood still in the room, took a deep breath, and settled all emotions, his breath collapsed and restrained

"No, no, I'm not performing Heaven and Earth Slash"

He hastily finished accumulating energy, dissipated his energy, and re-executed the Heaven and Earth Slashing Art, but this time he did not cooperate with the energy, but used pure physical strength to perform it.

"Snapped!"

With a punch, the air made a crisp crackling sound.

Because there is no gas machine, no large-scale damage is caused.

"The arm is still trembling, but the moment the fist is punched, the strength is indeed bursting in one place, although a lot is lost in the process"

This result made Xu Qi'an ecstatic, he was on the right path, as long as he practiced in this way, the time for him to be promoted to the fifth rank would be greatly shortened.

"It's much, much better than "Xingmailun". Hehe, I'm really a genius. I found another way." Just as joy appeared on his face, it suddenly froze again.

Because "Sword of Heaven and Earth" is the kung fu sent by Si Tianjian to beat people, and it is a secret gift from the supervisor

Is all this within your expectations, supervisor JOJO.

The imperial palace, the imperial study room.

Just after Maoshi, the princes were passed to the imperial study by the eunuch sent by the emperor.

After all the princes gathered, Emperor Yuan Jing, who was wearing Taoist robes and his sleeves were breezy, walked lightly to the back of the big case and sat on the throne that belonged to him.

"My beloved ministers have been playing for several days, wanting to thoroughly investigate the "Three Thousand Miles of Blood Slaughter". I feel the same way." Emperor Yuan Jing looked down at all the princes in the hall, and his tone was unhurried:

"I want to set up a mission to go to the border to thoroughly investigate this matter. Are there any suitable candidates for my love?"

Wang Shoufu went out, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this case is of great importance, and it should be handled by the three divisions in cooperation with the watchmen."

This is a good tacit understanding formed within the imperial court over the years. Whenever major cases are encountered, the third division and the watchman's Yamen are basically handled together, which is both cooperation and mutual supervision.

Emperor Yuan Jing waited for a while, and saw that no officials came forward to object or make additions, so he took advantage of the situation and said, "Where is the official in charge? Is there any suitable candidate for Zhu Aiqing?"

Multi-party collaborative handling of cases, either individually, or form a team, the team naturally must have a leader. Otherwise, it is a mess of loose sand.

Generally speaking, for cases that need to go to other places, it is basically to form a group instead of handling the case individually.

Hearing the word "organizer", Zhu Gong almost instinctively came up with an arrogant young man in a silver gong uniform in his mind.

This is not only a recognition of Xu Qi'an's ability, but also because Xu Qi'an has solved a major and important case in the past half a year, which left a deep impression on people.

Wang Shoufu pondered for a while, and said: "You can appoint Yinluo Xu Qi'an, the watchman, as the host."

He didn't praise Qi'an because he didn't need it.

Emperor Yuan Jing nodded, glanced at the princes, and said, "What do you think?"

"good!"

All the officials said in unison.

Haoqi building, tea room.

"What? The case of the three thousand miles of blood, I will be the chief judge?"

Xu Qi'an's eyes widened in surprise when he heard the news, his face was full of astonishment.

This is different from the Yunzhou case last time. In the Yunzhou case, Governor Zhang was the chief officer and he was one of the entourage. And this time, he is the theoretical leader.

The pros and cons are obvious. If the case is solved, he will take the first credit. If the bloody massacre of three thousand miles really exists, and he finds out the truth, the credit will be unimaginable.

I'm worrying that if I don't have a chance to do meritorious service and want to fall asleep, someone will give me a pillow? Xu Qi'an had mixed feelings, because if he could not solve the case, he would be convicted.

This is still good, if the massacre of thousands of miles is really the fault of King Zhenbei, and King Zhenbei lied about the military situation, then he will be in danger.

"Duke Wei, I'm afraid you don't have good intentions when you elected me as the chief officer? Why didn't your majesty appoint a governor, but instead agreed to let me be the chief officer with a silver gong?"

Xu Qi'an looked at Da Tsing Yi on the opposite side, and continued: "You have to send a golden gong to protect me."

Wei Yuan rubbed his teacup with a gentle tone, "That's right, you are more sensitive than before. You in the past didn't try to figure out the intentions of the princes in the court and your Majesty's thoughts."

No, I just feel that with you, the king of political struggle, by my side, Xu Qi'an said humbly, "Please teach me, Mr. Wei."

PS: Thanks to the leader "The north of Liangcheng is a wilderness" for the reward. Thanks to the leader "Silent Rice Cooker" for the reward.
