Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Lion's RoarHengyuan paused, turned around, and saluted Xu Qian'an without saying anything.
"I want to go to the health center." Xu Qian'an made his request.
"Okay."
"Let's go together." Xu Qian'an invited his two colleagues.
"Did you forget to bring money?" Song Tingfeng glanced at him.
Xu Qi'an smiled and said nothing. He walked two steps and stepped on a hard lump. He picked it up naturally and put it in his palm: "Look, the money is here."
Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao: "???"
The former stared at the dull silver and said depressedly: "I didn't look at the road just now and missed this silver. You got a bargain for nothing."
In fact, you missed at least several taels of silver... Xu Qi'an raised the corner of his mouth, put the silver in his arms, and explained: "Master Hengyuan lives in the Health Hall in the east of the outer city. I heard that the widows and orphans there are not living very well."
"There are many people in the world who are not living well." Zhu Guangxiao said in a muffled voice and sighed.
The three followed Hengyuan out of the inner city and walked towards the Health Hall in the east of the city. During the process, Song Tingfeng found something interesting.
"Look at this monk. When we walk fast, he walks fast too. He always keeps a fixed distance from us, but he never looks back at us."
This is certainly not because Hengyuan has eyes on the back of his head. Xu Qian'an and the other two sighed in their hearts: What a terrible spiritual perception.
Deliberately speeding up, the four of them soon arrived in the east of the city. This is a slum area, full of low and dilapidated houses, and people wearing patched old cotton jackets.
They were sallow and skinny, basking in the sun, with dull eyes. The children here still have a lively light in their eyes, but their skinny bodies and dirty faces, as well as their eyes that always stare at people's wallets, make people feel disgusted with them for no reason.
Xu Qian'an felt great hatred in his heart, but not for these poor people and children, but for this environment.
He had seen many photos of war-torn areas in his previous life, and poverty, hunger and chaos were the unchanging tone. Every time he saw similar photos and scenes, he would feel strong hatred, because he was yearning for beauty in his heart and he was powerless to change these.
It was probably the so-called impotent rage.
"Keep an eye on your wallets, even though they dare not and have no ability to steal your silver." Hengyuan's voice came from the front, and continued:
"Don't give alms here, because it will put yourself in an embarrassing situation."
He didn't explain what kind of embarrassing situation it was.
I understand this, as long as I show my kindness, I will be a big fat sheep for them... Monk Hengyuan is afraid that we will get angry and hurt the poor people here? Xu Qian'an guessed in his heart and said:
"I rarely come to such places, why don't I go to work?"
"Most of the people who survive in such places are refugees without land. They may have had land before, but they couldn't stand the heavy corvee, so they chose to give up the land and come to the city to seek a living.
"But there is no living space for them in the city, and from time to time there will be catchers coming here to find targets for fishing. However, in order to survive, there are indeed many criminals among them."
Master Hengyuan explained calmly.
As they talked, the four of them arrived at the Health Hall, a very old courtyard, where the plaque on the gate had long since faded in the wind and frost.
"Some time ago, government officials came to repair the courtyard, but I replaced the new plaque with the old one. Too bright and beautiful is not necessarily a good thing for the Health Hall. Three of you, please!"
After entering the Health Hall, Hengyuan led them inside and said, "Master Xu, I know you are in trouble, and I am looking for your help, not to borrow money. I heard that you have a good relationship with the sorcerers of the Sitianjian, and I want to ask you to help find the white-robed sorcerers to save a child. "
After passing through the front yard, they entered the messy backyard and came to a woodshed.
The woodshed was covered with thick dry grass and quilts, with a charcoal basin and a large bowl in the corner, and a skinny black dog curled up on the quilt.
Hearing the noise, the black dog moved his body, but couldn't get up. It raised its head with difficulty and saw a stranger. Its gray eyes subconsciously showed flattery, pitiful flattery, and said intermittently:
"Fortune... Donghai, great luck... great fortune."
Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao, who had no expression at all, suddenly froze.
Xu Qian'an was struck by lightning, and remembered some of the words he said when he saved No. 6 Hengyuan.
"This, this is... that child?" Xu Qian'an murmured.
"He can only say these eight words. "Hengyuan stared at the black dog with a compassionate face, "I saved him when I was looking for my junior brother Henghui. Because of such a tragic treatment, he couldn't live for too long. During this time, I used Qi to warm his body and barely let him survive.
"But this can't last long. His body is very bad and he must be treated, otherwise he will die in three days at most. Ordinary doctors can't save him. Only the sorcerers of the Sitianjian can. I have no choice but to ask Lord Xu for help."
Song Tingfeng opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Perhaps, death is the best destination for him."
Hengyuan glanced at the bronze gong and whispered: "Every day when the sun rises, his eyes are bright. I can read the desire in them, because it is a pure hope to live. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"In your eyes, he may be as insignificant as the weeds in the yard. But even a small grass wants to live tenaciously. "
Song Tingfeng was silent.
Xu Qi'an looked at "Black Dog" deeply, "I know, I will ask the sorcerer of the Imperial Observatory to see the doctor. Master... If you need money in the future, just come to me." After that, he added: "I will give you at most three coins of silver a day."
Three coins a day? Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao were slightly moved. You know, eight coins equal one tael. If Xu Qi'an's monthly salary, not counting the rice, is only four or five
taels of real gold and silver.
Even in the inner city, you can live a relatively prosperous life.
Three coins a day, one tael in three days, where does he get so much money? Oh, he has a thousand taels of gold awarded by His Majesty, so it's okay.
Hengyuan shook his head.
"Don't worry, the money comes very well, just like picking it up for free. "Xu Qi'an said
comfortingly.
Master Hengyuan nodded, appeased the "black dog", led Xu Qi'an and the other two back to the front yard, and said: "Please wait for a moment, my two lords, I have something to say to
Lord Xu."
Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao nodded, one turned around to tease the children who were hiding in the room and peeking at the guests, and the other went to talk to the old man who was sitting at the stone table in the yard and basking in the sun.
After entering a simple house, Hengyuan closed the door and put his hands together and said: "Lord Xu has a strong aura and a complete spirit. Is he about to enter the realm of refining the
spirit?"
He saw it so accurately? I only know that No. 6 is an eighth-grade monk, and I don't know how strong he is. I don't know his strengths and weaknesses, but he already knows my depths...Xu Qi'an straightened his face: "Master, what advice do you have?"
"Do you have a visualization diagram?"
"Yes."
Master Hengyuan nodded suddenly and said, "I am a monk and cannot pay back Master Xu's money. I originally wanted to wait until you reached the peak of the Qi training realm and give
you a visualization map.
"Since Master has this method, then I will change to another unique skill."
I have already mastered "Heaven and Earth Sword Slash". The advantages and disadvantages
of this unique skill are obvious... I should indeed learn other unique skills to make up for my shortcomings... Xu Qi'an was refreshed, "Thank you, Master."
Hengyuan nodded: "I am an eighth-grade martial monk. I don't know any of the mysterious spells of Buddhism. I only know some offensive methods. The best is the Buddhist lion roar."
Output depends entirely on roaring? Xu Qi'an was a little disappointed when he heard it. The lion roar sounded like it was only used by reckless men and lacked some style.
No. 6 Hengyuan saw the disappointment flashing in Xu Qiyan's eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "I can show you the power of the lion's roar."
Just don't make me deaf... Xu Qiyan nodded and reminded worriedly, "Will it affect the elderly
and children in the yard?"
Hengyuan shook his head, "I will control the power in this room."
After saying that, Xu Qiyan saw the bitter and vengeful No. 6 take a deep breath and punch in a
normal posture.
This punch was ordinary, with double speed and no threat at all... As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, he heard Shen Xiong's high-pitched lion roar.
Xu Qiyan's brain was concussed and he entered an unconscious dizzy state. When he found himself, he saw a fist as big as a casserole against the tip of his nose.
Monk Hengyuan retracted his fist and said in a deep voice: "This method can shake the soul and intimidate the enemy. If it is cultivated to a high level, even the most Taoist Yin God will
find it difficult to be immune."
This move is perfect with my Heaven and Earth Slash.... My biggest concern is that the big
move will be in vain. With the control effect of the Lion's Roar, I am not afraid that the big move will fail.... Xu Qian'an said happily: "Master, please teach me."
At the same time, a question flashed through his mind: Is this really just an eighth-grade
monk?
Hengyuan turned and walked to the bed, dragged out a shabby wooden box from under the bed, solemnly took out a picture book, and handed it to Xu Qian'an:
"This book records the method of moving qi, as well as my personal practice and insights."
Xu Qian'an reached out to take it, and Master Hengyuan pressed the cover and said in a deep voice: "I have to return it."
Why add this sentence? Ning has also heard of my reputation as a freeloader? Xu Qi'an
nodded: "Okay, Master."
After leaving the room, he came to the front yard and met with two colleagues. The three of them discussed and collected one tael of silver to donate to Yangshengtang.
After saying goodbye to Hengyuan and walking to the gate, Song Tingfeng suddenly said:
"Wait a minute."
He turned and ran back, staring at the old clerk without saying a word, gritting his teeth, his
face ferocious.
"Sir?" The old clerk was a little scared.
Song Tingfeng gritted his teeth and took off the purse and threw it over. He couldn't bear to
look at it anymore, so he turned around and left.
That was the five taels of silver he planned to take to the Jiaofangsi tonight, which was his
monthly salary.
"Xu Ningyan, you damned one, if I come to a place like this with you again, I will take your surname." Song Tingfeng kicked Xu Qi'an.
Xu Qi'an dodged and sneered, "I don't care if you have the same surname as me. It's fine if your son has the same surname as me in the future."
Song Tingfeng took off the scabbard and chased him to beat him.
...
Returning to the inner city, Xu Qi'an left the patrol work to two colleagues and went to the
Stargazing Tower.
"Mr. Xu." The white-robed magicians greeted him warmly, and no one stopped him from
going upstairs.
Xu Qi'an looked around, but didn't find Chu Caiwei or Song Qing. He caught an alchemist and
asked:
"Where is Miss Caiwei?"
"The princess is here, and Junior Sister Caiwei is accompanying her to meet the Supervisor Teacher at the Bagua Terrace." The alchemist said.
My first wife and the second wife are here... Xu Qi'an turned and asked, "Where is Senior
Brother Song?"
"I asked the government office for a death row prisoner, and he is studying in the secret
room."

Xu Qi'an gave up the idea of meeting Song Qing and asked, "Where is the kitchen?"
