Nightwatcher

In the next second, he eliminated the insignificant emotions, and the information Wei Yuan gave him flashed in his mind.

The biological mother is Ji Baiqing, the younger sister of Qianlong City Lord, who is a double martial arts practitioner, respectively eighth-rank Qi training and seventh-rank food qi. Twenty-one years ago, after returning to Qianlong City from the capital, she has been imprisoned and never left. where they live.

He took a deep breath, stepped into the yard, and gently knocked on the closed door.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and a gentle female voice suppressed excitement and mixed with nervousness came:

"Come in, come in."

For so many days, no one has visited here, so she guessed who it was.

Xu Qi'an pushed the door open, and the first thing he saw was a wall hung with ink paintings. On both sides of the scroll stood tall stands, and on the stands were two potted plants that were evergreen throughout the year.

On the left is a four-fold screen, and behind the screen is a bathtub.

A bead curtain hangs on the right, behind the curtain there is a round table and a bed, a woman in a plain dress sits beside the round table, and sandalwood incense is wafting.

She has a round face, with an oval face that is happy and angry, her eyebrows are very delicate, but there is a touch of sadness, her lips are plump, and her hair is pulled up high.

She is not young, and her beauty is undiminished. It can be seen that she was a rare high-quality beauty when she was young.

If I inherited her appearance, I wouldn't need a bodiless pill to improve my genes. When Xu Qi'an looked at her through the bead curtain, the woman behind the curtain was also looking at him, her eyes were full of tears, and she said softly:

"Ning Yan?"

This Ning Yan call was surprisingly natural and smooth, as if it had been practiced countless times in private.

Xu Qi'an pondered for a while, but the word "mother" still couldn't be pronounced, so he let out an expressionless "hmm".

Ji Baiqing was a little disappointed, and then said with hints of hope:

"Come to the table and talk."

"Okay!" Xu Qi'an lifted the curtain and sat down at the table.

During this process, the woman kept looking at him, looking up and down from his face to his chest, from his chest to his legs, as if he wanted to make up for all the gazes he had missed in the past twenty-one years.

Regrettably, no matter how earnestly and carefully she reads, she will never make up for the missing twenty-one years.

Sitting together with two people who should be the closest but are also the stranger, the atmosphere is inevitably a little stiff.

The mother and son sat for a while, and Ji Baiqing broke the silence with a sigh:

"When you were born, you were still in your infancy. Twenty-one years later, you have grown up to this size."

There are both joy and regret in her eyes. In this era where the eldest son is valued, the affection that normal parents place on the first child is incomparable to the later children.

Xu Qi'an thought for a while and said:

"Since you fled to the capital back then, why did you return to Qianlong City?"

Ji Baiqing's eyes darkened, and she whispered:

"Xu Pingfeng stole half of Dafeng's national fortune, and the supervisor only needs to kill you to return the national fortune to Dafeng. I am afraid that the supervisor will find out my identity, so I dare not keep more.

"Furthermore, I ruined Xu Pingfeng and the family's plan. They always need someone to vent their anger on. If I don't go back, I might force them to take risks. Not only will you be in danger, but your second brother and younger siblings may also be hurt."

Maybe the supervisor has been watching you on the gossip stage for a long time. Xu Qi'an nodded and said "hmm".

Ji Baiqing looked at him, muttered for a long time, silently clenched her hands into fists, and said softly:

"You, do you hate me?"

Xu Qi'an thought for a while, shook his head and said:

"I hate Qianlong City and Xu Pingfeng, but I don't hate you."

Just such a sentence made Ji Baiqing burst into tears. She cried but smiled, as if she had fulfilled a wish and untied a long-standing knot in her heart.

"For twenty-one years, I have missed you all the time, but I am afraid to see you, and I am afraid that you will hate me."

Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice:

"If I hated you, Xu Yuanshuang and Xu Yuanhuai's lives would not have been spared in Yongzhou."

"I know, I know," she said with tears streaming down her face.

A few minutes later, she calmed down, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said:

"Now that Qianlong City's bloodline is dying, and the Yunzhou army is falling apart, no matter how hard Xu Pingfeng and my elder brother rise up, they will not be able to threaten your safety. But he is a second-grade warlock after all. No defense."

To be honest, she didn't want to mention such inhuman things.

But between her husband and her son, she chose the latter without hesitation. The former is a marriage, and over the years, she has been deeply disappointed with Xu Pingfeng, and even hated it to the bone.

And Xu Qi'an was born in ten months of her pregnancy, she is her eldest son, it goes without saying which is more important.

Therefore, he was deeply afraid that Xu Pingfeng would secretly retaliate, so he had no choice but to remind him.

Xu Qi'an said lightly:

"He is dead, and Qianlong City Lord is also dead, I killed it myself."

Ji Baiqing stared blankly at him with a dazed face, and after a few seconds, said in a trembling voice:

"really?"

Xu Qi'an said "hmm" expressionlessly, and then saw her face turn from dull to complicated, it was hard to describe the specific emotion.

After a long time, she asked in a low voice:

"Where are Yuan Shuang and Yuan Huai?"

"It's locked up in Sitianjian!" Xu Qi'an said.

There was another silence after that, Ji Baiqing sat in a daze.

Xu Qi'an took advantage of the situation and stood up, saying:

"I'll take you back home tomorrow, and stay in the capital from now on. Auntie hasn't seen you for twenty years."

He believes that it is necessary to give the biological mother some space to be alone, a time to say goodbye to the past and remember the past.

A gleam of light finally flashed in Ji Baiqing's lacklustre eyes, who stayed in the capital.

Xu Qi'an left the small courtyard and went straight to the jailer's dungeon. In the dark and damp interrogation room, he saw Nangong Qianrou who was full of gloom and could not be satisfied.

Beside the charcoal brazier, lay a bloody human figure.

All the yamen in the capital were filled with generals of the Yunzhou army. Not all those who surrendered could let go of the past. In fact, even ordinary soldiers had to be assassinated.

"Keep an eye on my biological mother, don't let her do stupid things, I'll come pick her up tomorrow."

Xu Qi'an looked at the beauty who had been away for half a year.

To be honest, he really forgot about Nangong Qianrou. The most difficult thing about the art of shielding heaven's secrets is that it is related to cause and effect, and has nothing to do with grade.

For example, if Sun Xuanji blocks a passer-by, even if Xu Qi'an is a warrior, he will not remember this passer-by.

Because he has nothing to do with passerby A, there is no cause and effect.

Xu Qi'an and Nangong Qianrou are ordinary colleagues, and the cause and effect are too shallow. On the contrary, an old employee like Song Tingfeng will feel a little divided when he sees the torture device invented by Nangong Qianrou in the dungeon.

"What does this have to do with me, she loves to die."

Nangong Qianrou sneered.

He was different from others, he experienced Xu Qi'an's rise and a series of glorious deeds, and his mentality changed naturally.

Nangong Qianrou couldn't feel a godlike fear of this little silver gong in a short time.

Xu Qi'an thought about Nangong Qianrou's frequent ridicule and sarcasm at the beginning, relying on her fourth-rank cultivation to show off, so she said:

"If something happens to her, I'll send you to the Jiaofang Division to pick up the guests, and Duke Wei can't save you."

Nangong Qianrou's complexion changed, and she snorted coldly.

Xu Qi'an walked out of the dungeon, went to the Spring Breeze Hall to sit for a quarter of an hour, drank a cup of tea with Li Yuchun, then went to Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao, and made an appointment with them to listen to the music tomorrow.

In the blue sky, an auspicious cloud seemed to be drifting slowly, but in fact it was floating swiftly. After a while, it finally rushed back to Jingshan City.

Nalan Tianlu looked at the desolate Jingshan in the distance, and sighed:

"Jingshan ranks eighth among the blessed lands in Kyushu. It has beautiful bells and terrestrial veins. Before the expedition to Shanhaiguan, this mountain was lush and lush, with spiritual birds and beasts, and century-old jade ginseng.

"I didn't expect to return to my homeland and become like this."

Jingshan's spiritual power was completely drained by the great wizard Salun Agu, and it was originally bless Joan of Arc to help him kill Wei Yuan.

Who would have thought that Wei Yuan summoned Confucian saints and cracked the ultimate move.

In the distance, seabirds soar, slide close to the sea surface, and sometimes swoop down to catch prey in the sea.

Dongfang Wanrong looked at the sparkling sea and said in surprise:

"There is life in the sea?"

The last time she came to Jingshan City, she was ordered to go to the Western Regions to bring back Rain Master Nalan Tianlu.

Dongfang Wanrong clearly remembered that at that time the sea was dead silent, there were no fish and shrimp in the sea, and there were no birds in the sky.

Nalan Tianlu heard the words and glanced at the sea.

Soon, he lowered the auspicious clouds and brought his disciples to the edge of the cliff near the sea.

Dressed in a plain linen robe, with a white beard covering half of his face, Saren Agu had been waiting for a long time, and said with a smile:

"Jingshan City has an owner."

Nalan Tianlu was originally the lord of Jingshan City.

"Meet the Great Wizard!"

Nalan Tianlu saluted, and then went straight to the topic:

"Does the witch god have a specific time to calculate the catastrophe? And the details?"

Saren Agu shook his head slightly, looked at the high altar in the distance, and the young man wearing the crown of thorns on the altar:

"The day the witch god breaks through the seal, everything will naturally be known."

Nalan Tianlu didn't ask any more, and said with emotion:

"Xu Qi'an has already been promoted to a first-rank martial artist. Since Wu Zong, there has never been a first-rank martial artist in the Central Plains for five hundred years."

The reserved and respectful Dongfang Wanrong couldn't help being in a daze when she heard the words.

The first time she knew Xu Qi'an was on the way to Leizhou, when her younger sister Dongfang Wanqing had a conflict with him.

At that time, Xu Qi'an was carrying a seal, and even Wanqing couldn't beat it.

In four months, he became a rank one martial artist.

Dongfang Wanrong felt like she had witnessed history, and her heart felt vicissitudes and sighs for no reason.

Saleen'a Trail:

"I'm right. Xu Qi'an is as likely to be born as the Confucian Saints are. The old man has lived for thousands of years and has never been able to understand the Central Plains. There are three people who came into being today."

Nalan Tianlu said:

"Which three people?"

"Wei Yuan, Xu Pingfeng, and Xu Qi'an." Sa Lun'agu said: "Among the three, only Xu Qi'an has reached this step. If he had been promoted to a first-rank martial artist half a year earlier, the Witch God Sect would have been expelled from Kyushu after the battle of Jingshan City. "

Nalan Tianlu did not refute.

Dongfang Wanrong was taken aback, and boldly said:

"Great wizard, is a rank one martial artist really so powerful?"

She found it unbelievable that the Sorcerer Sect lost the Battle of Shanhaiguan back then, and it was not as fierce as the Buddhism in the Western Regions, and masters emerged in large numbers.

But the Sorcerer God Sect is not weak. There are two third-rank spiritual wisdom masters, and a great wizard who is also the first rank.

At this time, when she saw the teacher Nalan Tianlu beside her, her face suddenly changed, and she turned to look at the sky.

Dongfang Wanrong followed his gaze and saw a figure walking step by step through the void, as if walking up stone steps.

The green robe embroidered with cloud patterns fluttered in the wind, the hair was tied up with a jade crown, and the cloud boots were on his feet.

Xu Qi'an and Dongfang Wanrong's pupils shrank.

As soon as he mentioned this person, he actually appeared.

Saren Agu narrowed his eyes and said lightly:

"What are you doing here."

His tone was calm and his voice was not high, but Xu Qi'an, who was standing far away in the sky, seemed to be able to hear clearly, and responded with a smile:

"I heard that first-rank martial arts can push all major forces horizontally, so come here to practice."

Him, he wants to destroy Jingshan City? ! Dongfang Wanrong's face was pale, and she leaned towards Nalan Tianlu subconsciously, but found that the teacher's face was extremely serious, as if facing an enemy.

Xu Qi'an took a step forward.

hum!

He bumped his head against the wall of air, and Jingshan City was resisting him for hundreds of miles, refusing him to enter.

Saren Agu put one hand on his waist and pulled it out violently.

Snapped!

The black shadow swept across the sky and slapped Xu Qi'an's body fiercely, the green robe that was whipped split open, revealing a flawless white body.

"Tsk, it hurts a bit."

Xu Qi'an smiled and said, "You might as well go ahead and see if this magic whip can draw out my primordial spirit."

The combination of first-grade martial arts spirit, spirit, and spirit has long since lost its shortcomings. Wizards and Taoists who are good at the field of primordial spirits can't even think of playing his primordial spirit.

He supported the invisible barrier with one hand, and the muscles in his arm swelled violently, cracking his sleeve.

boom! The Qi machine gushes out, destroying the "momentum" condensed by the heaven and the earth, and the space is like a mirror, shattered violently by the warrior's violence.

The gust of wind blown by the air machine blew across Jingshan Mountain, blowing Dongfang Wanrong directly, the whole mountain shook violently, the mountain cracked, and broken stones rolled.

Snapped!

Suddenly, the robe on Saren Agu's chest split, and welts appeared, and his pupils were slightly dull, as if he had lost consciousness for a moment.

Primordial spirit shakes.

Xu Qi'an swooped down, crashing into Jingshan City like a meteorite.

During the process, his chest was suddenly sunken, exaggerated injuries appeared, but he recovered in an instant.

This is Sarun Agu who cast the curse spell on him.

As a senior first-rank great wizard, there is no problem in injuring a warrior of the same realm, but with the terrifying endurance of the warrior, this kind of injury is equivalent to no injury.

Salun Agu stretched out his right arm and stood in front of him. At this moment, he seemed to be integrated into one body like the Jingshan Mountain under his feet, becoming invulnerable and indestructible.

This is one of the two great abilities of the Grand Wizard:

One, take advantage of the power of heaven and earth.

Absorb power from the world and use it for your own use, and can unlock different states according to the vision of the world.

Leverage the eruption of the volcano to rush like fire, borrow the thunderstorm to make the weather as fast as wind and thunder, and borrow the mountain to not understand it like a mountain.

boom!

Xu Qi'an didn't froze, and slammed into Jingshan Mountain hard, knocking half of the main peak down, the landslide landslide, and clods of soil and rocks fell one after another.

In Jingshan City, figures rose from the sky one after another, and a famous wizard fled frantically, avoiding it far away.

They looked at the collapsed Jingshan in horror.

Salun Agu still stood where he was, without moving a bit, but the mountain under his feet collapsed, and he became floating in the air.

With the help of the mountain defense, he failed to hold Xu Qi'an at the moment, he used the second ability of the great wizard to assimilate with "heaven and earth", leaving a projection on the spot.

This is the world's first-class life-saving means.

The disadvantage is that the number of uses is limited, and it is impossible to use it endlessly. The interval between each use is three breaths, and at most fifteen breaths, the real body will return to the projection. At this time, it is easy to be waited by the warrior.

The great wizard didn't get the slightest benefit from him... Dongfang Wanrong Yufeng hid in the distance, seeing this scene, she felt awe-inspiring.

Rumble!

The altar vibrated, and a majestic black air rushed out from the stone statue wearing a crown of thorns, forming a blurred face with the sky, looking down at Xu Qi'an indifferently.

The wizards in the distance worshiped in the sky, shouting "Please wizards kill the enemy".

Kacha Xu Qi'an twisted his neck, his bones made a sound, he looked up at the witch god in the sky, grinned and said:

"Come and try to kill me."

The witch god just looked down indifferently.

Saren Agu sighed:

"Tell me what to do."

"Come to collect some interest, and get some information by the way." Xu Qi'an didn't make any more moves, standing among the rocks, "What is a catastrophe? What do you witch gods know about gatekeepers?"

Salun Agu pointed to the human face in the sky, and said with a smile:

"If it's these two questions, then you can ask him yourself. If you want to obtain some information, then I have a deal here."

Xu Qi'an was noncommittal.

saren agu says:

"In ancient times, there was a god and demon called "Da Huang". He was at the same level as the Gu God, and he also survived the great turmoil, but his spirit was damaged, so he disguised himself as a descendant of the god and demon, and hid overseas."

"White Emperor is the Great Wilderness?" Xu Qi'an raised his eyebrows.

It turns out that "Great Wilderness" is not a descendant of gods and demons, but a genuine gods and demons, once at the same level as Gu God? No wonder his body is so terrifying, far better than first-class. No wonder he cares so much about the gatekeeper and the so-called catastrophe, because he was a participant in the great turmoil back then. Xu Qi'an thought through many problems in an instant.

"This information is not worth enough."

Xu Qi'an stretched his muscles and said:

"continue!"

The crown of thorns on the head of the witch god statue suddenly flew up, turned into a black light, and landed on the top of Salun Agu's head.

In an instant, the great wizard with a whip in his hand and a crown of thorns on his head seemed to be the master of this world.

He laughed and said:

"Can!

"I haven't smoked a first-class martial artist for many years. Let me let you taste the feeling of running around the northeast when Emperor Gaozu was smoked by me."

Xu Qi'an smiled and took out a Confucian crown and put it on. In his left hand was the Zhenguo Sword, and in his right hand was a Taiping Saber.

He laughed and said:

"Whoever runs away is the grandson!"

the second day.

In the early morning mist, Xu Qi'an and Song Tingfeng Zhu Guangxiao left Goulan refreshed. Xu Qi'an rode on a beautiful filly and went with them to the Dagengren Yamen.

Last night I rested in the barn, listening to music, drinking and watching theatre, a rare leisure time.

He doesn't touch ordinary women now, he is afraid that he will trouble the beauties.

Zhu Guangxiao paid the bill.

Song Tingfeng complained:

"The court hasn't paid a salary for two months, Ning Yan, if this continues, you will have to treat me next time."

Xu Qian said with a blank face:

"Oh, then I won't go to Goulan anymore."

"." Song Tingfeng scolded:

"A dignified first-rank martial artist, yet so stingy."

If it costs money to go to Goulan, the fun will be lost. Xu Qi'an ignored him, thinking about yesterday's battle with Salun Agu in his mind.

"Oh, it's really hard to tell the winner between the first ranks, let alone life and death. Fortunately, he became a grandson yesterday, not me." He muttered to himself, wiped his face, and wiped Xu Erlang's face. changed back.

With his current status and status, he is definitely not suitable to go to Goulan again.

Next time I plan to go to Goulan with the face of my second uncle.

After entering the watchman's yamen, he went straight to the small courtyard and saw his biological mother.

Seeing him coming as promised, Ji Baiqing smiled gently:

"I haven't seen Xiaoru in twenty years. I don't know if she still recognizes me as a sister-in-law."

The faint sadness between her brows has dissipated, as if she bid farewell to the past and regained her new life.
