Running all the way, not daring to look back, jumping back and forth on the roof, Xu Qi'an, who was facing a high-level strongman for the first ti, was still filled with intense fear.
If it weren't for the Jinlian Taoist priest who sacrificed himself to save him, he would have died in the next round, and he would have no ti to cast the spells in the "magic book".
Even with the help of Jinlian Taoist priest, the spells in the magic book would probably not be able to compete with the opponent.
That kind of heart-piercing fear was sothing Xu Qi'an had never felt before.
"Who is it?"
Two night watchn standing on the rooftop noticed Xu Qi'an in a black robe, one of them drew out a standard long sword, and the other took off the bronze gong.
"It's ." Xu Qi'an took off his hood and took out the gold dal.
"Master Xu..."
Xu Qi'an is now a celebrity in the night watchn's office. First, the two golden gongs "fought for him", and then there was a dispute over the sword to cut off the red silver gong. No one in the office didn't know him.
Xu Qiyan took back the gold dal, coughed violently a few tis, and a fishy sll ca from the depths of his throat. He said in a deep voice: "The mansion of the Earl of Pingyuan was attacked by an assassin. This official was ordered to investigate the case and ran into the assassin.
"The assassin is dangerous, don't act rashly, and give the alarm quickly!"
There was an assassin in the mansion of the Earl of Pingyuan again... The two Tongluo looked at each other, and imdiately noticed Xu Qiyan's bloody mouth and slightly trembling arms. With serious faces, they took out a copper tube as thick as a baby's forearm from the leather bag on their waists, and gently twisted the fuse with their fingers, igniting the qi.
Whoosh...
A dark red line of fire scread into the air and exploded in the sky.
Seeing this, Xu Qiyan was relieved: "I will go back to recuperate first, and you will wait for support again. If you encounter people in black robes... not including , rember to avoid them."
"Yes."
At this ti, Xu Qi'an saw an orange cat standing on the roof in the distance, looking at him with deep pupils.
.... Where did you get the cat, Taoist priest? I knew you would be fine. Xu Qi'an exhaled again, and kept jumping on the roof, with the orange cat following behind him slowly.
"Taoist priest, I just completely lost the idea of fighting." Stopping in a quiet alley, Xu Qi'an said guiltily.
He believed that with the scheming and scheming of Taoist priest Jinlian, if he was not sure, he would definitely run away faster than him.
The orange cat spoke in human language, with a tired tone: "When ordinary people see a big insect, running away is an instinctive reaction, and the gap between you and him is even greater than the gap between a cat and a big insect."
Taoist priest, is it really okay for you to compare it this way... Xu Qi'an glanced at the orange cat.
"If I'm not mistaken, he is the seal suppressed in Sangpo. "Xu Qi'an said as he took out the golden wound dicine and gauze to bandage his mouth.
Because he had taken too many powerful pills, he relieved the weakness after "Heaven and Earth Slash", and he didn't feel the strong fatigue of being hollowed out.
"Why do you think so?" Taoist Jinlian said in shock.
"On that day, the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple exploded, and all three hundred imperial guards patrolling the surrounding area died. Their death was exactly the sa, and they turned into mummies." Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice.
Taoist Jinlian suddenly realized, and after a mont of silence, he said: "Then you guessed wrong, the one sealed under the Mulberry Lake is not the first generation of the Supervisor." ..... If it was the first generation of the Supervisor, he would not kill a small person. The son of the Earl of Pingyuan was extrely frightened before his death, and seed to recognize the man in black robes... Unless the one who killed the imperial guards was the one who sneaked into Sangpo and blew up the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple, but this possibility has long been denied. It is impossible for a master to sneak into Sangpo...Xu Qiyan sighed: "I know, and I have a vague guess in my heart, but it still needs to be verified." The orange cat nodded slightly and said: "My Yin God has suffered a serious injury, and it is very likely that I will fall in realm. I need you to do a favor."
"Master, please speak." Xu Qiyan was worried about how to repay the life-saving grace.
"Find Luo Yuheng for and ask for a Juyuan Pill." The orange cat spoke in human language.
"Luo Yuheng?" Xu Qiyan asked blankly.
"The head of the Renzong, barely my junior sister. " said Taoist Jinlian.
Taoist, you are quite senior in the Earth Sect... The head of the Human Sect is your junior sister... A beautiful mature Taoist nun? Xu Qi'an was a little embarrassed: "Any token?"
"Just show her the Earth Book," the orange cat showed a humane smile: "As for whether it can be taken, it depends on her mood."
Depends on her mood? Xu Qi'an looked dazed.
"The Human Sect and the Heaven Sect are like fire and water. The relationship between the Earth Sect and the two sects is not tense, but it is not very good either." The orange cat
explained.
You Taoists are too much... A family that loves and kills each other. Xu Qi'an nodded: "I will try tomorrow."
The orange cat said "hmm": "I will co to you tomorrow."
Jiang Lvzhong squatted in the yard with a gloomy face, holding a small piece of minced at
in his hand. The at was very dry, just like dried bacon that was ground into powder.
There was a layer of light brown powder on the ground.
Dozens of copper gongs surrounded the Pingyuan Bo Mansion, and seven or eight silver gongs cooperated in the investigation. When they arrived, the Pingyuan Bo Mansion was wiped out. Pingyuan Bo's family mbers, including the servants in the mansion, were all
killed.
The corpses died in the sa way, like bacon that had been dried for many years.
Jiang Lvzhong felt that 10,000 alpacas were running wildly in his heart. When Pingyuan Bo was killed,
"Jiang Jinluo, there is a survivor in the house. "A silver gong ca out of the house and
shouted.
Jiang Luzhong, with a gloomy face, walked over the threshold and entered the house. He glanced and locked his eyes on the woman who was holding a quilt, showing her snow-white shoulders and looking terrified.
She was beautiful, but a little frivolous and dissolute, and was looking at the night watchn
with fear.
"Who are you?" Jiang Luzhong said in a deep voice.
"I, I am the concubine of Pingyuan Bo." The woman trembled.
"What did you hear and see? "Jiang Lvzhong asked again.
The woman had already learned what happened from the silver gong that woke her up, which was why she was so anxious all day long. She was worried about her own fate, but also felt
lucky to be alive.
The woman shook her head and said obediently: "I was having sex with Dalang at the ti, and then I fell asleep..."
Jiang Lvzhong looked at her. The situation of sons inheriting their father's business was also
common among concubines. The dignitaries of the dynasty frequently took concubines, and the age difference was very large. Once the father died, these concubines had only two choices, either to work like maids or to rely on the new heir.
Of course, if this kind of thing was put on the table, it would definitely be reprimanded.
But no one would take it seriously, and they didn't advocate it and were too lazy to care about
it.
"Let her put on her clothes and take her back to the night watchman's office." Jiang Lvzhong said, and walked out of the house.
"Jiang Jinluo, the body of Pingyuan Bo's legitimate son was not found. "A silver gong
hurriedly reported.
Jiang Lvzhong glanced at the brown powder in the yard, his eyes deep: "No need to look."
"Sir, there is sothing wrong with the window outside."
Jiang Lvzhong heard the sound and ca to the window facing the bedroom. He saw two holes in the window paper, which happened to be able to see the situation in the bedroom. He glanced down and saw two shallow traces plowed on the ground.
"In addition to the murderer, there were other people present at the ti..." Jiang Lvzhong pondered for a long ti and asked: "Who first discovered the abnormality of Pingyuan Bo's
Mansion."
"Two copper gongs on duty."
"Call them over."
Soon, two copper gongs were brought over.
Jiang Lvzhong asked: "When you found the situation, were there any suspicious people
nearby?"
The two copper gongs looked at each other: "No deliberate people were found, and the case
was not discovered by us."
Jiang Lvzhong was stunned and asked hurriedly: "If you didn't find it... who?"
"It's Tongluo Xu Qi'an."
Xu Qi'an... Jiang Luzhong's eyes flashed.
....
After returning to the courtyard, Xu Qi'an fell asleep without taking off his clothes. He woke
up naturally three hours later, sat cross-legged and practiced breathing.
After moving for two weeks, he opened his eyes with vigor. Except for his slightly pale face,
he was in good condition in all aspects.
He left the courtyard and rode straight to the city gate.
At this ti, there was still half an hour before the city gate was opened. There was no curfew
in the outer city, and the prohibition of the city gate was also very loose. Xu Qi'an, with the gold dal, ordered the soldiers guarding the city to open the gate.
In less than an hour, he rushed to Qinglong Temple. It was the ti for the monks to get up for morning classes, and the morning bells echoed slowly between heaven and earth. After tying up the horse and going down the stone steps to Qinglong Temple, Xu Qi'an got an
unexpected news.
"Did Abbot Panshu go to the Western Regions?"
The sa round-faced abbot Hengqing said expressionlessly: "After the donor left that day,
the abbot left. I really don't know the reason this ti."
....How much psychological trauma do you have on ? Xu Qiyan grinned.
Abbot Panshu said that the duty of Qinglong Temple is to keep an eye on the sealed objects
under Sangpo. That day he expressed his intention to go west.
I wonder if the old monk will take a monkey as his apprentice on the way. That must be very
interesting, hehe.
"I have sothing to trouble the master." Xu Qiyan said in a friendly tone.
Abbot Hengqing stared at him vigilantly.
"I want to see Henghui's portrait. If there is no portrait in the temple, please find soone to
paint it imdiately. "Xu Qiyan made his request.
Heng Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said to wait a mont.
After a cup of tea, he ca out holding a scroll and handed it to Xu Qiyan.
The latter took it and slowly unfolded it. In the scroll was a monk wearing a green robe, with handso features, spirited eyebrows and eyes, and a very good-looking man.
It was indeed him... Xu Qiyan confird that the man in black robe last night was Monk
Henghui.
Although his temperant changed drastically, his facial features were still vaguely the
sa.
Monk Henghui of Qinglong Temple may be involved in the Sangpo case, and No. 6 Hengyuan swore that his junior brother was abducted by a gangster.
Based on the conversation between the son of Pingyuan Earl and the man in black robe last night, Xu Qiyan imdiately had a guess in his mind and couldn't wait to verify it.
If he hadn't been in a bad state last night and urgently needed to rest, he would have chosen
to leave the city overnight.
"It's really Henghui, it's really Henghui... How could it be him? What does he have to do with
the seal under Sangpo?"
"It seems that he is not the first generation supervisor. No wonder the current supervisor is
not in a hurry and pretends to be sick."
"But if it's not the first generation supervisor, then who could it be? The only thing I can think
of is that the seal is on Henghui."
"It's impossible for a re monk to plan this shocking case. There must be soone behind
him. The King of Zhenbei?"
Xu Qian'an left Qinglong Temple with deep thoughts.
Back in the capital, back to the night watchman's office, he went straight to Haoqi Tower with
a clear goal to tell Wei Yuan the truth.
