Loft of Noble Spirit, tea room.
Xu Qi'an came here once again and saw a handsome and refined eunuch with white sideburns. He was still dressed in azure robes and his eyes were filled with indescribable vicissitudes of life.
Other than that, there was also a tall man with a cold expression.
He sat by the tea table with a straight back and an expressionless face.
Wei Yuan sat in front of the table and carefully tasted the fragrant tea. He said, "The mirror has already recognized you as its owner. I will temporarily hand it over to you for safekeeping.
"The first person who contacted you was indeed someone from the Earth Sect. They wanted to kill you.
"Yang Jinluo has already defeated them. You will not be in danger for the time being. For a long time to come, there will be night watchmen keeping an eye on your house. "
Xu Qi'an frowned. He was not surprised by Wei Yuan's actions. When Xu Qi'an asked him to reply to Number Nine the day before, he had already revealed this eunuch's intention to 'do evil to evil'.
What he was unhappy about was that Xu Qi'an did not handle this matter properly and even let them escape, leaving behind such a huge hidden danger.
"The Earth Sect's Yin Spirit is invisible and hard to kill," Wei Yuan explained and lowered his head to drink his tea.
This was the strength and weakness of the system.
Yang Yan waved his hand and the mirror flew in front of Xu Qi'an and hovered there.
Xu Qi'an took the mirror and kept it in his robes. He bowed and left Loft of Noble Spirit.
Yang Yan, who was sitting like a pine tree, said softly, "Godfather, I can't keep the Yin Spirit."
Wei Yuan smiled warmly. "Why do you have to keep it?"
Yang Yan did not understand and frowned.
Wei Yuan smiled calmly. "If you are not good at it, there will naturally be someone else who is."
…
Xu Qi'an left the night watchman's office and bought two bags of fried beans. He went to please his superior.
Li Yuchun was reading the documents in front of the table and did not even raise his head.
"Brother Chun, I bought you some fried beans," Xu Qi 'an blurted out.
Brother Chun? Li Yuchun raised his head and looked at him with a serious expression.
"Boss," Xu Qi'an added.
"Mm, put it on the table." Li Yuchun said and continued to read the documents.
Xu Qi'an looked around and said, "Boss, are you investigating the saltpeter mine case?"
"Zhu Guangxiao is recovering and Song Tingfeng is slacking. Why are you not at home?" Li Yuchun asked and nodded.
"I am currently in charge of this case."
"Since I have nothing to do, I came to the yamen to familiarize myself with the environment." Xu Qi 'an probed, "This matter is related to the demon race? "If it's confidential, pretend I didn't ask.
Li Yuchun grabbed a few fried beans and tossed them into her mouth. As she ate, she said, "I can't tell you the details of the case. Let me pick some that I can tell you … Our initial suspicion is that the remaining members of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom are hiding in the vicinity of Beijing."
"The Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom?" Xu Qi 'an recalled the history of the Jiazi Demon-slaying Campaign.
"Although the Ten Thousand Goblin Kingdom has become history, the remaining members of the Ten Thousand Goblin Kingdom have been trying their best to reclaim their kingdom," Li Yuchun said.
"Although the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom is history, the remnants of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom have been trying to restore their country and take back their land." Li Yuchun said.
"The Buddhists rule over the countries of the Western Region. They are very powerful. Even the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom at its peak was no match for them. If they want to restore their country, they must have other methods." That's why the demon chased away the gray households nearby. "
That's why the demons drove away the grey households nearby. "
Li Yuchun was busy and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Xu Qi 'an said sensibly, "No. You are busy. I will be in the side hall breathing exercises. If you have any instructions, just call me."
After Xu Qi'an left, Brother Chun read the documents and ate the fried beans. He accidentally swept the beans to the ground.
After Xu Qi 'an left, Brother Chun was reading the information while eating fried beans. He accidentally swept the beans to the ground, and with a crash, the beans spilled all over the floor.
Li Yuchun stared blankly at the beans on the ground and covered her eyes in pain.
In the room next door, Xu Qi'an was studying the jade mirror. He suddenly sensed a violent fluctuation of energy coming from next door. It was only for a moment, but it calmed down immediately.
In the side hall next door, Xu Qi 'an was looking at the small jade mirror when he suddenly felt a violent fluctuation of Qi coming from next door. It was only for a moment, but it immediately calmed down.
Although the Earth Book was bound by blood, the fact that the old Taoist had given him the mirror meant that the binding was not unchangeable.

I'm just a gong. There's no reason for him to give me such an important treasure, right?
Forget it. Since there are spies watching my house, I don't have to worry about the safety of my auntie and the girls.
The elites of the Earth Sect had been defeated. They probably wouldn't come to the capital for a while.
Xu Qi 'an continued to do breathing exercises until the points were scattered. Just like that, he spent the day in a relaxed and happy manner.
Should he look for Fu Xiang tonight? Should he look for Fu Xiang, or should he look for Fu Xiang …
No, no, I should save up money to buy a house and move Second Uncle and the rest to the inner city. It's safer that way …
I can't waste money for a moment of happiness. Although Floating Fragrance's courtesan was deeply in love with me and insisted on not accepting any silver, I still had to give the maids and dancers money as a reward.
A few taels of silver is still silver.
With great determination, Xu Qi'an turned the horse around and left the inner city.
When he got home, the sky was dark and the lanterns were lit.
…
After dinner, he climbed over the wall and returned to his yard. In this era without mobile phones and computers and without nightlife, he could only kill time by writing in his diary at night.
Fu Xiang was really a woman that made people want to lust after her. She was proficient in all kinds of postures. She was on her way to the Western Paradise on a pilgrimage.
Xu Qi'an entered the room, took out the flint on the table, and lit the candle.
Suddenly, his muscles tightened and his body froze.
An old Taoist in a ragged robe was sitting cross-legged on the bed. His gray hair was tied up with an ebony hairpin, leaving messy strands hanging down.
He was free, unrestrained, and full of vicissitudes.
"We meet again." The old Taoist stared at him calmly. "When we last met, you were still a Warrior in the Spirit Refining Realm. Now you are in the Qi Refining Realm. You are really a lucky man. "
Xu Qi'an stood by the table, and his body was in a state of temporary combat readiness. He said in a deep voice,
"Taoist, you broke into my house at night. What do you want?"
The old Taoist didn't care about Xu Qi'an's hostility and said calmly, "I came to tell you that I's Junior Brother, Purple Lotus, has been immortalized. You don't have to worry about him anymore."
"You killed him?"
"I helped him immortalize."
So you came to help me immortalize tonight?
No.9 died in the hands of this Taoist … If he could deal with Purple Lotus alone, he wouldn't have to give up the treasure … Xu Qi'an speculated that the old Taoist probably came to take advantage of the fight between the sandpiper and the clam.
The problem was, how did he set up the ambush in advance?
I got it … You're fucking stalking me again! The corner of Xu Qi'an's mouth twitched.
If the old Taoist could find his way to the Xu Mansion, it meant that he had been following him for a long time. Therefore, he knew the identity of the night watchman and the deployment of the night watchman.
The assassin of the Zhou Mansion, the night watchman, the old Taoist … I am just an ordinary transmigrator. You bastards, why are you following me all the time?
"I didn't think it through. He gave me the treasure, so how could he not follow me and pay attention to me …" Xu Qi'an probed, "Taoist, are you here to take back the Nether Tomes?"
The old Taoist shook his head. "I already have one."
He took out a small jade mirror from his sleeve. It was exactly the same as the one in Xu Qi'an's arms.
"This is the No.9 fragment that I's Junior Brother had. It has finally been returned to its rightful owner. As for you, consider it a gift from I. "
Without waiting for Xu Qi'an's reply, he continued, "There are a total of nine fragments of the Nether Tomes. I gave them to different people. You are also someone that I has taken a liking to. "
"Those seven different people formed the Heaven & Earth Society."
Xu Qi'an asked, "Who are they?"
The old Taoist shook his head. "They have their own identities. They come from all over the world. If you are curious, you can ask them yourself. You know how to use the Nether Tomes. I will not reveal anyone's identity, including you.
"I came here tonight to invite you to join the Heaven & Earth Society."
"Me?" Xu Qi'an asked cautiously. "I am only a warrior who just entered the Mortal Realm. What makes you think so highly of me?"
"I've said it just now. Patron, you're a person with good fortune."
Xu Qi'an's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, this old Taoist can see through my strange luck.
Finally someone in the know can help me. Picking up silver from time to time, although it feels good, I don't feel at ease at all.
After all, I am a person with my feet on the ground.
He didn't directly tell the old Taoist about his strange luck. Instead, he used his verbal skills and said: "Please enlighten me, Taoist."
