Chapter 457

Since Xu Qi 'an left the capital, Huaiqing had never taken the initiative to contact him.

Xu Xinnian just came to visit and discuss the donation plan. He pointed out that the new emperor's prestige was not enough and he could not control the officials in the court.

"It would be great if my brother was in the capital!"

Xu Erlang sighed.

Unfortunately, since Xu Qi 'an traveled in Jianghu, he had lost contact with the capital and never sent a letter from home.

Of course, Huaiqing knew that if Xu Qi 'an was in the capital, his appeal would be stronger. Moreover, according to his style in the past, he blocked the Meridian Gate, killed the Duke, and killed the former emperor.

When he raised his arm and called for help, there were many ministers who were willing to donate money. No one wanted to provoke this fellow.

But Huaiqing did not do so. It was not that it was inconvenient to ask or their friendship was not good enough … She just felt that if Daibun really needed to deal with everything alone.

Then his fate was really over.

"Did your dog servant send you a letter?" Huaiqing asked.

"Of course!"

Lin An raised his snow-white chin and said proudly, "Much older."

"In your dream." Huaiqing exposed him mercilessly.

"You …" Lin An glared at her.

Huaiqing picked up the teacup in a good mood and took a sip.

Lin An left angrily and returned to Shaoyin Palace sullenly.

"Your Highness, were you bullied in Dexin Garden again?"

Her personal maid covered her mouth and chuckled.

Lin An did not speak and was a little dispirited.

She took the tea served by the maid but did not drink it. She held it in her hand to warm it.

After sitting for a while, Lin An suddenly said,

"Sometimes I think that I'm not that important to him."

Her personal maid naturally understood what she meant and said softly, "Your Highness, why do you think so?"

"I am not as smart as Huaiqing. I have a bad temper and no cultivation. When he was a silver gong, I was a princess. I was very confident."

"I was so confident that I put my hands on my waist in front of him every day." The maid added in a low voice.

"But now I can't put my hands on my waist in front of him. I am useless to him."

There was a rare sadness on Lin An's face.

She could only pour out her heart to the palace maid who had grown up with her.

The maid said, "I think that Xu Yinluo likes Your Highness, which has nothing to do with whether Your Highness is useful or not. If the premise of liking a person is that this person is' useful ', then what is the point of such love?

"Your Highness just needs to be yourself."

Lin An was a little excited.

"Lin An suddenly became a little.

"In the past, when he investigated cases, he only cared about Huai Qing and discussed everything with Huai Qing.

"Now that he has left the capital, there is no news of him. I asked the Imperial Astronomer to send him a letter a long time ago, but he did not reply.

"Now that Brother Emperor is in trouble, the only one I can rely on is him, but I can't find him …"

"Lin An is is, and I can to help. he is the Lin An Yue is the emperor."

Lin

"Lin"

A pale golden light flashed across the sky of the capital and landed on the platform of the Celestial Commissioner.

It was Xu Qi 'an and his group of seven people.

The Supervisor sat behind the desk with his back to the crowd, overlooking the capital.

Miao Youfang looked around nervously, and his legs were a little weak. This was the first time he came to the capital, the first time he climbed the legendary Stargazing Tower, and the first time he saw the Supervisor.

"White hair and white clothes. No wonder she is an immortal …" Miao Youfang looked at the back of the Supervisor and sighed with emotion.

Li Lingsu came to the capital for the first time and met the Supervisor for the first time. Except for being a little reserved, he was generally calm.

Luo Yuheng waved her wide sleeves and shook out the Crossing Love Arhat who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

"Go ahead. I have something to talk to the Supervisor."

Xu Qi 'an glanced at the crowd.

"I want to stay and listen. Maybe I can hear the secrets of the top and guess Xu Qian's real identity …" Li Lingsu was very curious, but since Senior Xu had spoken, he could only leave obediently.

Watching Li Miaozhen and the others go down the stairs, Xu Qi 'an exhaled and finally stopped pretending to be a master.

"Supervisor, the Nation Master and I have captured the Crossing Love Arhat in Yongzhou."

Xu Qi 'an cupped his hands and bowed to the Supervisor.

The Supervisor didn't seem to hear him. He was motionless with his back to him and Luo Yuheng.

"Don't tell me he's dead …" Xu Qi 'an thought to himself. He heard Luo Yuheng say:

"His Primordial Spirit left his body."

Huh?

Xu Qi 'an couldn't hide his surprise. He was not surprised that the Supervisor's Primordial Spirit left his body.

He was also a frequent visitor of the Celestial Commissioner. He had been on the Eight Trigrams Stage many times. Every time someone came, the Supervisor would be waiting.

Xu Qi 'an was surprised. What happened to the Supervisor? So that when the "guests" came to his house, he still didn't return in time.

…

"It's rare for the Celestial Commissioner to come. I'll show you around."

Li Miaozhen led the group downstairs with ease. Not long after, they saw a white-robed warlock holding a soft brush and a piece of rice paper pass by them.

"This senior brother, where is junior sister Caiwei?"

Li Miaozhen stopped him.

The warlock in white replied, "Junior Caiwei is reading in the library."

Li Miaozhen was surprised. "Chu Caiwei is reading?"

Did the sun rise from the west?

"Junior Caiwei can teach on behalf of the master next year. Now she is holed up in the library every day." The warlock in white explained and left in a hurry.

Li Miaozhen originally wanted to find Chu Caiwei to be their guide. Seeing that she was so busy, she gave up.

Anyway, she and Chu Yuanzhen had been to the Celestial Commissioner several times, so they were not unfamiliar with it.

The group continued to walk. Li Lingsu and Miao Youfang looked left and right, curiously sizing up the legendary Celestial Commissioner.

This was the place where warlocks gathered. It was also the only place where they could see a large group of warlocks.

Miao Youfang asked Li Lingsu in a low voice, "Why do the warlocks in the Celestial Commissioner carry pen, ink, and paper with them?"

Along the way, they found that the warlocks in white carried paper and soft brush with them. It seemed that they would write a lot if there was a disagreement.

Li Lingsu pondered for a moment and said, "Warlocks are more studious."

Miao Youfang suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. It's really shameful. I only know how to write my own name."

While talking, they came to the seventh floor.

Li Miaozhen said, "This floor is the place where the alchemists gather. The Celestial Commissioner's alchemy room is here. Let's leave quickly. "

Li Lingsu saw that his junior sister was quite afraid and asked curiously,

"This is the Celestial Commissioner's forbidden area?"

He said, revealing a look of realization, "The craftsmanship is confidential?"

"No!"

Chu Yuanzhen said lightly, "It's because the alchemists on this floor are obsessed. If you are someone who knows nothing about alchemy, they will look at you with their nostrils and ridicule you for not having enough intelligence."

"How arrogant." Li Lingsu asked, "If you know a thing or two about alchemy, will you be treated as a VIP?"

"No!"

Grandmaster Hengy Yuan said in a low voice:

"If you show interest in alchemy, they will recommend a few strange foods for you to try. For example, a fruit with eyes, a roasted chicken with two heads, etc. They will even encourage you to try human body refinement experiments.

"In the entire capital, the only ones who can suppress them are the Supervisor and your excellency Xu."

"Your excellency Xu?" Li Lingsu didn't know how to react.

"Xu Qi'an!" Hengy Yuan said.

"Xu Qi'an." Li Lingsu suddenly realized, "I've heard of your name for a long time, but never had the chance to meet you. Now that I'm in the capital, I must pay you a visit."

The three holders of the Book of the Earth's fragments looked at him with an indescribable expression.

"What do you mean by human body refinement?" Miao Youfang took the chance to interrupt.

"For example, crossing you with a pig."

Miao Youfang and Li Lingsu shrunk their heads at the same time and quickened their pace.

The group quickly left the seventh floor and met a group of warlocks in white on the sixth floor.

"Elder Li."

A warlock in white warlock warmly greeted them, then turned around, looked at them with the back of his head, and walked away.

"Chu Yuanzhen."

Another warlock in white warlock recognized Chu Yuanzhen and greeted him with a smile, then suddenly turned around and showed them the back of his head.

Miao Youfang and Li Lingsu were stunned and looked at Li Miaozhen blankly.

"For them, looking at you with the back of their head is a sign of respect." Li Miaozhen said lightly.

She seemed unwilling to explain further.

Miao Youfang and Li Lingsu nodded, indicating that they understood.

In their hearts, they thought that the Celestial Commissioner's rules were really strange.

After visiting the sixth floor, they went down to the fifth floor.

Three warlocks in white warlocks walked in the corridor. Miao Youfang and Li Lingsu took the initiative to greet them.

"Greetings, Senior Brothers."

The three warlocks didn't know these two, but they knew Li Miaozhen and Chu Yuanzhen. They were about to return the greeting when they suddenly saw the two guys turn around and look at them with the back of their heads.

The faces of the three warlocks in white warlocks instantly turned red. They felt greatly humiliated and waved their sleeves.

"Who are you looking down on!"

They left angrily.

“？？？”

Miao Youfang and Li Lingsu looked at Li Miaozhen blankly.

There was a smile in Li Miaozhen's eyes. "As I said, it's only for that group of people."

Li Lingsu's expression was stiff. "Is there a difference?"

Chu Yuanzhen suddenly sighed. "In a few years, when the disciples of the Celestial Commissioner greet each other, they may have to give each other fruits and pastries."

"Poor Supervisor …" Li Miaozhen, Chu Yuanzhen, and Hengy Yuan thought at the same time.

Li Lingsu and Miao Youfang looked at each other. They didn't understand why the three warlocks' expressions were so complicated.

Li Miaozhen said, "Chu Yuanzhen, Master Hengy Yuan, and I plan to go to the underground to meet a friend. The guest room is on the fourth floor. You can ask the disciples of the Celestial Commissioner to take you there. "

Miao Youfang was a little surprised. "Don't we need to be questioned? This is the first time Brother Li and I have come here. "

"No!"

Li Miaozhen waved her hand. "They are too lazy to question us. With the Supervisor here, we don't need to be afraid of anyone making trouble."

Li Lingsu said, "The underground of the Stargazing Tower? Miao Youfang and I will go with you. "

Li Miaozhen hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay."

They came to the lobby on the first floor, opened the iron door, and went down the steep stairs to the underground.

There were oil lamps embedded in the stone walls of the underground, dispelling the darkness.

"The underground of the Celestial Commissioner is used to hold prisoners. But there are no prisoners worthy of long-term imprisonment, so it is usually the 'guest room' for the two disciples of the Supervisor."

Li Miaozhen didn't forget to explain.

"Why do the disciples of the Supervisor live in such a dark and damp place …" Li Lingsu murmured in his heart.

The sound of everyone's footsteps echoed in the corridor where the halo swayed.

Suddenly, a deep voice rang out from behind one of the doors.

"What are you doing here?"

They stopped in front of the door. Chu Yuanzhen replied,

"Brother Yang, we came back to the capital to see you and Sister Zhong. We will be separated in Jianghu and travel by ourselves. We won't be back for a long time."

Li Miaozhen said, "What did Brother Yang do?"

As long as Yang Qianhuan was underground, it meant he was locked up by the Supervisor again.

Yang Qianhuan was silent for a few seconds. He said in a muffled voice,

"It's not a big deal. It's a cold winter this year. People in the capital are short of coal and cotton. I want to disperse all the gold and silver in the treasury of the Celestial Commissioner to help the victims. The Supervisor teacher didn't agree and locked me up here.

"The Supervisor teacher … always wronged me."

Miao Youfang widened his eyes when he heard this.

To think that the Imperial Astronomer would do such a chivalrous deed. My Dao is not lonely.

"Your Excellency is of noble character and unquestionable integrity!"

Li Lingsu praised. He looked through the small window of the iron door and saw a figure standing proudly in the room.

The demeanor of a master!

At this time, he heard the master ask in a conflicted tone, "What's wrong with you?

"I've been in the Celestial Commissioner for a long time and can't inquire about the outside world. Xu Qi An, that bastard, has been away from the capital for more than a month. Is there any news from him? "

…

After a long time, Xu Qi An heard the Supervisor let out a long sigh and knew that he had returned.

"I didn't see his Primordial Spirit return at all …" Xu Qi An couldn't help but ask curiously,

"Where did the Supervisor go just now?"

"He fought with Galo Tree at the border of Leizhou."

The Supervisor grabbed the wine glass and took a sip.

He didn't say who won or lost, nor did he mention the reason for the fight. He put down the wine glass and looked at the sitting Arhat of Passion.

The Supervisor fought with Galo Tree at the border of Leizhou? Is it because of me, or something else …

While Xu Qi An was pondering, the Supervisor turned around and looked at him. He then looked at the Arhat of Passion and praised,

"You know, take a different approach."

Xu Qi An knew that he was referring to the matter of capturing a top Buddhist expert and removing the Magic Sealing Nail.

He said, "Although the State Preceptor captured the Arhat of Passion, he couldn't order him to do anything. Therefore, we brought him back to the capital and handed him over to you, Supervisor. "

The Supervisor dipped his finger into the wine glass, dipped it in a drop of wine, and flicked it gently.

Pop!

This drop of wine flicked between the eyebrows of the Arhat of Passion. Xu Qi An seemed to hear a deafening thunder. One could imagine what kind of experience the Arhat of Passion had.

The old monk with long hair on his cheeks trembled and slowly opened his eyes, as if he had just woken up from a dream.

He glanced at the Supervisor, Luo Yuheng, and Xu Qi An, put his palms together and said,

"Amitabha. Greetings, Supervisor."

The Supervisor said indifferently, "After removing the Magic Sealing Nail, I will suppress you at the bottom of the Stargazing Tower for three years. Once the three-year period is over, you will be allowed to return to the Western Regions."

The Arhat of Passion pondered for a moment. "This Penniless Monk has another condition."

The old monk looked at Xu Qi An. "Release Jingxin and Jingyuan, and This Penniless Monk will remove three Magic Sealing Nails for you."

There was no coercion or temptation, nor was there any reluctance to submit. The moment the Arhat of Passion saw the Supervisor, he compromised.

The Supervisor also made the appropriate concessions, allowing both parties to reach an agreement.

"Three?"

Xu Qi An emphasized.

The Arhat of Passion pressed his palms together and lowered his eyes.

He said indifferently, "Every Magic Sealing Nail has a different incantation. The Magic Sealing Nail is a Dharma artifact refined by Buddha. This Penniless Monk has grasped the incantation for three.

"Arhat, if you want to undo everything, you need Bodhisattva to do it personally."

The Bodhisattva himself … Xu Qi An could not help but pinch his glabella.

The Four Great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, Galo Tree, Samantabhadra, Faji, and Glaze, were all peak figures who coveted his body.

It was wishful thinking to ask them to remove the Magic Sealing Nail. When the time came, Xu Yinluo would pack him up and send him out. The Buddhists would cheer and cheer as they waited to unpack the package … He silently lampooned.

The Magic Sealing Nail was one of Xu Pingfeng's final arrangements. His goal was to nail Shenshu and me to death. He was prepared to fail. Even if he didn't take back the light from providence, he would still cripple me.

"Therefore, it is reasonable that the Magic Sealing Nail is hard to break. How can it be a match for a Level Two Qi cultivator to set up such a scheme?" Xu Qi 'an could only comfort himself in this way.

"Which three?" Xu Qi An asked.

"Two Governing Meridian and one Baihui," said the Arhat of Passion.

The Magic Sealing Nail in the Baihui acupoint had been removed by Shenshu. Fortunately, there was only one overlapping.

This result was in line with his expectations.

"Thank you, Master. I will keep my promise and release Jingxin and Jingyuan." Xu Qi An pressed his palms together politely.

Seeing that the deal was done, Luo Yuheng made a hand seal with one hand and recalled the iron sword.

In the Arhat of Passion's eyes, a golden Buddhist light flashed. His aura rose steadily and was majestic.

Xu Qi An walked in front of the Arhat of Passion and sat down cross-legged with his back facing him.

The Arhat of Passion paused for a moment, as if he was accumulating power. Xu Qi An could feel the aura behind him rising sharply. This was the same situation as when Shenshu had removed the Magic Sealing Nail from his arm.
