Chapter 73



73 Daoism and earth sect (1)

[ Jiu: where are you? ]

Xu Qi ‘an stared at the mirror and was stunned for a long time. The mirror spoke? Was it a treasure that had its own consciousness?

What did ‘Jiu’ mean? this mirror was called Jiu?

No, if it was the mirror’s own intelligence, it wouldn’t have asked ” where are you? ” Because I’ve been sleeping in the same bed as you, every day.

Xu Qi ‘an stared at the mirror and fell into deep thought.

He was thinking about four questions:

First, what kind of treasure was a mirror? apart from storing items, it could also receive information?

Second, was this a message? If it was, then who sent it?

Third, who was the old Daoist? why did he give me the mirror?

Fourth, should I respond?

To be safe, Xu Qi ‘an kept the mirror and didn’t intend to respond. He thought, ” as long as I pretend that it doesn’t exist, it won’t exist.

Moreover, he did not know how to respond.

Xu Qi ‘an went to the courtyard, soaked his head in the water tank, and wiped it with a sweat towel. Then, he left the courtyard.

He had already joined the night watchman, but his official working time was the day after tomorrow. The night watchman had to prepare a uniform and a Gong for him.

It was still early, half an hour past noon.

Xu Qi ‘an first went to the Yamen of Changle County to inform his colleagues and County Magistrate Zhu that he had become the night watchman.

County Magistrate Zhu had already received the news that the night watchman had taken Xu Qi ‘an’s household registration from the Changle County government in advance.

Xu Qi ‘an, his colleagues, and County Magistrate Zhu had arranged to have dinner together that night. It was not only a farewell banquet, but also a congratulatory banquet to celebrate his promotion and wealth.

The location was, of course, the new moon Hall, which was not far from the county government. In the official circle, brothels were the first choice.

Before that, Xu Qi ‘an planned to go to the brothel and eat lunch while listening to music.

…..

The farewell banquet started at Shen Shi and continued until Yu Shi 35PM.

During the meal, County Magistrate Zhu sighed and said,”ningyan, you’re from my Changle County’s Yamen. It’s our Changle County’s fortune to be able to become a night watchman.” I’ve always had high hopes for you …”

He paused, raised his glass, and drank it all in one go.

‘If I can continue to climb up …’ County Magistrate Zhu is probably the first person I can trust in the officialdom … Xu Qi ‘an understood and also finished the wine in his glass.

After the banquet ended, the Yamen’s fast hands did not leave. The brothel Madame called over a group of young and beautiful girls and brought them to the private room for the officials to choose.

She’s pretty. In my previous life, there would be a line of young models in the club … Xu Qi ‘an shook his head. After having a taste of Fu Xiang’s beauty, he was no longer interested in ordinary women.

After Xu Qi ‘an made arrangements for County Magistrate Zhu and his fast-handed colleagues, he left the waning moon Hall and headed home.

When she arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, she found that the lock had been unlocked and candlelight was shining through the room.

Second uncle came to find me?

Xu Qi ‘an pushed open the door and entered the house.

In the candlelight of the evening, a young girl in a plain dress sat at the table. She supported her forehead with one hand and nodded her head.

Xu Qi ‘an immediately glanced at the cabinet beside the bed. Seeing that there was no sign of it being opened, she heaved a sigh of relief.

hmm, maybe I can consider writing my diary in English.

He walked over and gently woke Xu lingyue up.

“Where did big brother go …” Xu lingyue opened her eyes. Her beautiful eyes were confused for a while, and then they were filled with joy.

Under the candlelight, her sharp oval face was like a warm piece of Jade, flawless. His eyes were shining.

“What are you doing here?” Xu Qi ‘an said.

“Why didn’t big brother come home for dinner? father said he must have gone to a brothel,” she said softly.

Second uncle was really … You understand me!

no, no, ” Xu Qi ‘an said. it’s just a normal social event. I went to the Yamen on duty, so I invited my colleagues to dinner.

However, it was normal for second uncle to think so. A normal martial artist would not stop until he had exhausted all his energy after ten to twenty years of holding back after entering the Qi refining stage.

“Big brother is drinking … Since you’ve already eaten, I’ll go back now. The dishes are still hot in the kitchen.” Xu lingyue believed her brother’s explanation and smiled happily.

Xu Qi ‘an was touched. In this family, other than his second uncle, his sister was the best to him.

“Mm … It’s dark, it’s not safe to walk at night. Big brother will send you.”

Xu lingyue didn’t refuse. It was about two or three hundred meters from the small courtyard to the main entrance of the Xu mansion. It was indeed not safe for a weak woman to go alone.

However, she did not expect that Xu Qi ‘an would take her to the corner of the courtyard, hold her small waist, and jump into the air. He chose to climb over the wall.

As soon as her toes touched the ground, she pushed Xu Qi ‘an away in a panic and murmured, “”Many thanks, big brother.”

Xu Qi ‘an watched Xu lingyue’s back disappear, then jumped back to his own yard.

At this time, he felt an inexplicable palpitation again. He took out the small Jade Mirror in his arms, and a line of small words slowly appeared on the clean surface of the mirror:

[Jiu: where are you?]

Xu Qi ‘an frowned. What was going on?

The news came in again and again, and if it was not resolved, it would always feel like a hidden danger.

Xu Qi ‘an leaned against the wall and thought for a long time before deciding to reply.

There were two reasons for his reply-first, the mirror was his possession, after all, and if he could thoroughly understand the mirror’s function and divinity, it would be beneficial to him.

It was like you were holding an AK47 in your hand, but you were waving it around like a walking stick.

Second, he suspected that the message was sent by the old Taoist. If that was the case, he could take the opportunity to figure out why the other party had given him the treasure.

An unknown gift made people feel uneasy.

Xu Qi ‘an tried to type a voice message, hehe, he’s taking a shower.

The clean mirror didn’t change.

Xu Qi ‘an changed his method. He used his finger as a pen and wrote these words on the mirror.

A miraculous scene happened. A line of words appeared on the mirror:[ 3: hehe, she’s taking a shower. ]

Transmitting thoughts through touch?

‘Does three represent the number of my mirror …’ The other party was Jiu … He also has a mirror?

[ Jiu: Who are you? ]

Xu Qi ‘an did not answer him.

The other side also fell into silence. After a few minutes, another message came.[ Jiu: where is senior Golden Lotus? is he Dead or Alive? how did you get this mirror? ] You’re a member of the Heaven and Earth Society? ]

‘Senior brother Golden Lotus should be the Daoist priest who gave me the mirror. This Jiu calls him senior brother. They are from the same sect …’

Heaven and earth Union, how could there be reverse clarity and restoration of vision in the other world?

After getting a rough idea of the other party’s identity, Xu Qi ‘an heaved a sigh of relief. He used his finger as a pen and entered the information:

[ 3: I’m not a member of the Heaven and Earth Society. This mirror was given to me by an old Taoist. ]

[ Jiu: how do you prove that you are not a member of the Heaven and Earth Society? tell me your name. ]

Xu Qi ‘an felt as if a reader was asking for the delivery address and was planning to give you some local specialties. He instinctively resisted and did not agree.

[ 3: Taoist priest, I’m just a nobody. ]

After a while.

[ Jiu: where is the Daoist priest who gave you the mirror? ]

[ 3: I don’t know. ] After Xu Qi ‘an sent the message, she waited quietly to see what the other party would say.

[ Jiu: I’m zilian. The Daoist priest who gave you the mirror is my senior brother. This mirror is a magic treasure of our earth sect.

Hehe, since senior brother has given you this mirror, I believe your esteemed self is not an ordinary person. You must have heard of my earth sect’s great name. ]

Xu Qi ‘an replied, [ three: sorry, I don’t know anything. ]

The other side was silent for a long time before replying emotionlessly, “[ Jiu: Taoism is divided into three sects: heaven, earth, and man. ]

It turned out to be people from the Dao sect … Xu Qi ‘an’s spirit was lifted.
