Chapter 844

After returning to the Xu Mansion, he spent the entire morning practicing the Single Blade Cleave of Heaven and Earth, combining the Blade Wills of several ultimate moves.

After lunch, he lay on the roof, basking in the sun and taking a light nap.

Last night, in order to subdue the demoness, he used the Great Might Heavenly Dragon Curse and suppressed the fox demon under the Ruyi Jingu Bang for an entire night.

The demoness cried and begged for mercy. In the end, Xu Yinluo of Daibun won.

However, Xu Yinluo's vitality was greatly damaged after this battle, so he needed to take a short nap to recharge.

There were thousands of demonesses in the world, and it was the duty of a righteous man to exterminate them.

Zhong Li hugged her knees and sat beside him. Senior Sister Zhong had a soft body and a plump buttocks, but the linen robe she always wore buried her talent.

Occasionally, when she sat in such a posture that accentuated her figure, she would reveal her mature womanly charm, even if it was only for a brief moment.

"Your 'intent' seems to have reached a bottleneck," Zhong Li said softly.

"Senior Sister is indeed Senior Sister. Although you pretend to be pitiful on the surface to gain my sympathy and affection, you are actually a very reliable senior. You have sharp eyes and can hit the nail on the head."

Xu Qi'an closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, sighing.

"No, it's not like what you said," Zhong Li said gloomily.

Xu Qi'an was shocked. He turned over and sat up, his eyes shining as he asked, "Tell me, who was your first man?"

Zhong Li looked at him blankly, "Ah?"

She explained, feeling wronged, "I didn't try to gain your sympathy and … affection."

Xu Qi'an was relieved and continued to lie down, "Oh, you're talking about this."

As long as you're still a sharp-eyed senior sister who hits the nail on the head, then we're still good friends.

Zhong Li tilted her head and thought for a moment, confused. She still couldn't keep up with his thoughts, so she returned to the main topic,

"Although I'm a warlock, I know some things about Warrior. Warrior cultivates intent, which is a process of understanding one's nature. It doesn't mean that those who use a saber all year round can understand the saber intent, and those who use a sword can understand the sword intent. That's not the case.

"If you want to understand intent, you must first understand why you use a saber, how you love it, and whether you are willing to be a saber companion in this life."

Xu Qi'an shook his head, "I don't want that. I want to be accompanied by a beautiful woman in this life. I don't want to be limited in number if possible. I can't."

Zhong Li ignored him and continued, "As for your 'intent', it is the fusion of many different absolute arts. This is the hardest intent to cultivate. It used the Single Cut of Heaven and Earth as its foundation, but the Single Cut of Heaven and Earth was not its spirit. You need a spirit to be able to lead the way. "

Spirit? Spirit?

Xu Qi 'an asked, "How should we do this?"

Zhong Li shook her head. "I don't know. I'm not a martial artist."

"I don't know, I'm not Warrior," Zhong Li shook her head, "You're not a Warrior."

This slap clearly didn't use any strength, but Zhong Li felt as if she had been pushed hard. Her buttocks slipped and slid down the roof ridge. She rolled a few times on the tiles and fell heavily to the ground.

"Senior Sister, Senior Sister … I didn't do it on purpose!"

Xu Qi 'an turned pale with fright.

Zhong Li groaned as she got up. She couldn't help but wrap her sackcloth robe tightly around her. In this cold world, only a robe could bring her a trace of warmth.

…

After lunch, Xu Qi'an, who was playing Gomoku with Xu Lingyin in the yard, suddenly felt a familiar palpitation. He ignored his stupid younger sister and took out the fragment of the Orb of the Earth without any hesitation.

He checked the message.

[Four: There's a situation on my side. I probably can't cooperate with you to continue investigating Hengy Yuan and the Yuanjing Emperor's case.]

Xu Qi'an's heart skipped a beat. He sent a message: [You're leaving the capital?]

This was a very simple reasoning. Whether it was looking for Hengy Yuan or the Yuanjing Emperor, it wasn't an urgent matter. He had plenty of time to do other things.

There was only one possibility for Chu Yuanzhen to say this. He was leaving the capital soon and wouldn't be returning anytime soon.

[Four: Yes, Jiang Lüzhong from the Night Watcher's Office came to see me this morning. He said that Wei Yuan hopes that I can follow the army.]

If the fragment of the Orb of the Earth could display punctuation, Xu Qi'an would have typed out a series of question marks and sent it!

Chu Yuanzhen had no experience leading troops to war. What was wrong with Duke Wei?

[Two: Is Wei Yuan really a god of war? You might as well let me go instead of going with the army. At least I've led troops in Yunzhou and annihilated bandits.]

So I'm not the only one who thinks this way … Xu Qi'an was quite pleased.

[Four: Heh, I was the top scholar back in the day. Although I didn't major in the art of war, I've read many books on it and studied many large-scale battles. For example, the Battle of Shanhai Pass. Whether I go with the army or not depends on whether I want to go or not, not whether I'm capable or not. Even if I don't know anything about the art of war, I can at least fight a fourth-grade expert.

[I've already retired from the imperial court and wandered the martial world. I'm a commoner now and have no interest in becoming an official again. Yet, he invited me to go with the army. Don't you think that Wei Yuan is ridiculous?]

[Uh, Duke Wei's thoughts are really hard to understand …] Xu Qi'an sent a message: [So, did you agree?]

[Four: I agreed.]

One: "…"

Two: "…"

Three: "…"

Five: "…"

Chu Yuanzhen forced an explanation: [Of course, I'm not trying to become an official again. I just think that if I go out into the martial world with a sword and get rid of evil, I'll only get rid of small evils. How many evils can I get rid of alone?

[In the end, it's still for the sake of the people of Daibun. If I can contribute on the battlefield and defeat the Witchcraft Cult, it'll be a great merit.]

[I feel like you're implying something …] Li Miaozhen muttered in her heart.

So, you said so much just to save your dignity? Xu Qi'an complained silently.

Seeing that no one replied for a long time, Chu Yuanzhen sent a message: [What do you think?]

Xu Qi'an thought for a while and said perfunctorily: [It's pretty good.]

[Two: It's pretty good.]

[One: It's pretty good.]

[Five: It's pretty good.]

[The three of you are even more perfunctory than I am …] Xu Qi'an rolled his eyes.

Chu Yuanzhen quietly dived down and stopped talking.

At this moment, the Jinlian Taoist priest, who had been silent for a long time, appeared and sent a message.

[I need to go into seclusion to digest the lotus seeds. I won't be able to receive your messages for a while. In order not to delay the communication between you, I has decided to open up some permissions for you.

[From now on, as long as you put your primordial spirit into the Earth Book fragment, you can choose who you want to send a private message to. You don't have to call me anymore.]

After that, the Jinlian Taoist priest also dived down and said no more.

'Taoist priest, are you finally tired of being a tool …' Xu Qi'an's thoughts stirred and he immersed his mental strength into the Earth Book fragment.

He once again entered the hazy mirror world. There were eight rays of light of different colors lined up in front of him. The eight rays were red, black, green, white, yellow, and four murky lights whose specific colors could not be seen clearly.

As the holder of the Earth Book fragment, he immediately recognized that the first ray on the right was Number One.

Since Number One is so mysterious, I might as well test him or her and find out her identity … Xu Qi'an retracted his primordial spirit and looked at the ray of light represented by the Earth Book fragment Number One.

"Smack!"

Suddenly, the Earth Book fragment Number One condensed a powerful mental strength and scattered the wisp of his primordial spirit.

"Hiss …" Xu Qi'an felt as if his brain had been pricked by a needle. It was not a big problem, but it was a little painful.

This was the Earth Book version: The other party doesn't want to talk to you and slapped your primordial spirit?

"If you don't want to talk to me, then don't. Why did you hit me …"

Xu Qi'an spread his primordial spirit while cursing. His mental strength was like a tentacle that reached into the Earth Book fragment and re-entered the hazy mirror world. This time, he tried to send a tentacle to Number Eight.

Number Eight did not refuse.

[Three: I heard that you're in seclusion? Are you a man or a woman? What's your name? I'm a student of Yunlu Academy, Daibun's Hanlin Academy's Imperial Scholar, Xu Xinnian.]

Number Eight ignored him.

"It seems that Number Eight didn't break through."

Xu Qi'an tactfully gave up and extended his tentacle to Number Seven. [I heard that you're being hunted? I don't know if you're dead or alive.]

Number Seven also ignored him.

I hope that you'll live a peaceful life … Xu Qi'an continued to send a message to Li Miaozhen. [Miaozhen, can you receive my message?]

[Two: Yes!]

Li Miaozhen had already chosen to accept the tentacle the moment it descended.

[Three: Let's test the function.]

[Two: How do we test it?]

[Three: Chu Yuanzhen is a hypocrite. Ptui! I'm ashamed to be associated with him. Lina, I have delicious food here.]

There was no response for a while.

[Three: It seems that the Jinlian Taoist priest didn't lie. It'll be easier to talk to him in private in the future.]

Li Miaozhen: "…"

[Two: That's right. I just thought of something.]

Xu Qi'an didn't say anything. After a few seconds, Li Miaozhen sent a second message.

[I remember now. In terms of knowledge of geographical veins, apart from the Celestial Commissioner, the Earth Sect is the most proficient. The three sects have their own strengths. Apart from swordsmanship, Renzong is most proficient in alchemy. The Earth Sect cultivates merit, as well as feng shui and arrays. Geographical veins are one of the elements of feng shui. As for me, Tenzō, I'm more proficient in summoning wind and rain.]

Is that why your understanding of earth veins is so shallow, to the point that you don't even know anything about them? Xu Qi'an nodded slowly.

It wasn't strange. After all, everyone had different elective courses.

[Two: Of course, the Earth Sect's knowledge of arrays and feng shui is shallow compared to that of sorcerers. I suddenly thought of this when I entered the fragment of the Earth Book.

[The Earth Sect's knowledge of feng shui and arrays originates from their understanding of geographical veins, and their knowledge of geographical veins comes from the Earth Book.

[In ancient times, the Earth Book symbolized the mountains and rivers. In Tenzō's desk, there is a book called "The Records of the Gods of the Nine Provinces". It states that in ancient times, the Nine Provinces were filled with gods such as mountain gods and river gods. They condensed the power of the mountains and veins of the Nine Provinces and turned it into the Mountain God Seal and the Water God Seal.

[One year, the Taoist Master killed the "Gods of the Nine Provinces" and refined all the Mountain God Seals and Water God Seals into a treasure called the "Earth Book".]

The Earth Book has such a great origin? When I looked up relevant information in the government office, they only said that the Earth Book was the Taoist Master's Dharma treasure, and its origin couldn't be verified … The Gods of the Nine Provinces were masters who emerged after the fall of the gods and demons and the rise of the Human Sovereign?

Xu Qi'an's imagination ran wild.

[Three: But why does the Earth Book give me the feeling that it's a storage Dharma treasure and a Daibun version of a QQ chat group?]

[Two: Because the Earth Book is broken. Also, what is a 00 chat group?]

It's QQ, not 00 … Xu Qi'an patiently explained the difference between the two. Then, he thought to himself, 'Why do I have to chat with Li Miaozhen when we live under the same roof?'

[Three: Let me talk in your room.]

[Two: Don't. Don't you think it's interesting? As long as we have the fragment of the Earth Book, we can communicate privately at any time.]

Li Miaozhen was addicted to the novelty of private chatting online.

When everyone was exchanging letters together, she didn't feel this way. It felt like a group of people discussing through a Dharma treasure. But now that she could chat privately at any time, the novelty was highlighted.

'This, this … What a strong sense of déjà vu. It reminds me of the stupid things I did in the past: climbing over the school wall to chat on QQ; rejecting a date with a junior girl because it was my QQ pet's birthday …' Xu Qi'an silently facepalmed.

At this time, Lina's message arrived: [Five: Xu Qi'an, Xu Qi'an, let's go eat monkey brains at a restaurant today, okay?]

[Three: Monkeys are so cute, why do you want to eat their brains? You're just 15 feet to my left, you can just call me.]

[Five: Because it's interesting, I can communicate with you privately.]

At this time, Chu Yuanzhen sent him a private message: [Four: Say goodbye to old friends, can you let me take a look at that book of war? As the saying goes, 'Sharpening a spear at the last moment'. Also, I think it's interesting to exchange letters privately at any time. I don't have to worry about being seen.]

[Three: How do you know no one saw? Have you tested it?]

[Four: Because I have been exchanging letters with Miaozhen and Lina.]

[Three: Lina, have you been exchanging letters with Miaozhen and Chu Yuanzhen?]

[Five: Huh, how do you know?]

'That's enough!'

Xu Qi'an's mouth twitched.

At this moment, hurried footsteps came into the room. It was Xu Cijiu in an azure official robe.

Xu Cijiu looked around as if he was looking for something. When he saw Xu Qi'an, he heaved a sigh of relief. "Big brother, big brother, it's urgent …"

Xu Qi'an immediately went to greet him. The last time Xu Erlang came back on a horse during his lunch break was for Simu Wang.

"Big brother, the Yuanjing Emperor wants me to go with the army," Xu Cijiu said with a serious face.

“！！！”

Xu Qi'an felt like he was struck by lightning.

He had personally experienced a large-scale war. When he was investigating a case in Chu Zhou City, Zhu Jiu led the Monster Tribe while Jili Zhigu led the cavalry of the Qing Yan Tribe.

The battle did not last long, but it was dangerous and intense. Under the crossbows and cannons, both the humans and the barbarians were as tough as weeds.

The dog emperor wanted Xu Erlang to go to war? Was he asking him to die?

"Pretending to be sick?" Xu Qi'an asked.

"His Majesty has approved it. Even if I'm still breathing, I have to go! That's why I came to discuss it with you, big brother, "Xu Cijiu said.

In other words, he could not refuse? Xu Qi'an frowned and said grumpily, "Discuss what? Discuss how to disobey the emperor's decree?"

Xu Cijiu was speechless. After a moment of silence, he said, "I mean, discuss how to fight the war. I, I want to go too."

"Smack!"

Xu Qi'an slapped his little brother to the ground. "War? More like it. "

Xu Erlang got up awkwardly. In his mind, he thought that his big brother was a vulgar Warrior. He looked obedient and didn't dare to talk back, afraid that he would be slapped again.

Xu Qi'an looked at him for a moment and sighed. "Talk to Aunt yourself."

Xu Erlang's mouth twitched. He nodded slowly. "Okay."

…

After a while, Aunt's cries came from the inner hall. The beautiful woman ran out of the hall and looked around. Then, she locked her eyes on Xu Qi'an.

"Ning Yan!"

Aunt shouted. She looked like she was about to cry. She waved her little hand and said, "Erlang is going to the battlefield. You, you have to think of a way."

Xu Qi'an was the only one in the family who could shoulder the burden. When Aunt encountered a problem that she couldn't solve, she would look for her nephew immediately.
