Chapter 153



153 Dried corpse (1)

“With your current status, why don’t you take the initiative to visit and ask?” Daoist priest Golden Lotus was confused.

“After all, the count of Ping Yuan is a hereditary noble. In the absence of evidence, I can not use violence. Moreover, it’s easy to be restricted by normal investigations. If you want to get an answer, the means of light and dark have to complement each other.” Xu Qi ‘an explained casually, ”

Haotian Taoism is a well-deserved leader in the primordial soul realm. He should be able to ‘cooperate’ and tell us all the information he can, right? ”

“…. You’re quite experienced, but this doesn’t match your previous life and experience.” Daoist priest Golden Lotus said and gently nodded her head, giving an affirmative answer.

some cars look new, but they’re actually frighteningly high. Xu Qi ‘an said sternly.

“What do you mean?” Daoist priest Golden Lotus frowned.

what I mean is that you’ve only seen the surface of me, and a person’s life will always be more exciting and interesting than the words in the scroll. Xu Qi ‘an shrugged.

“That’s reasonable.” Daoist priest Golden Lotus did not continue on this topic. “Relax your mind, I’ll lean into your sea of consciousness.”

“You’re leaving your primordial spirit again?” Xu Qi ‘an said warily.

“Hehe, my body is injured and my strength is greatly reduced, but my Yin spirit is intact. This will allow me to better display my strength.

“There’s a curfew in the inner city, so I can’t go out with you openly. I can hide it from the ordinary Gong, but if the Golden gong sees it, it won’t be good for you or me. Moreover, the capital is full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons, and the threat doesn’t necessarily come from the night watchman alone.”

That’s right, but you’re going too far if you want to turn my primordial spirit into your own shape … Besides, we’re not that close yet … Xu Qi ‘an frowned.

Even though he trusted Daoist priest Golden Lotus, he had not allowed his primordial spirit to invade his sea of consciousness.

Moreover, he was not sure if Daoist priest Jin Lian had seen some of his secrets, such as his memories from his previous life or the round and white buttocks of the floating fragrance courtesan.

“What should we do then?” Daoist priest Golden Lotus shook his head.

At this moment, a shrill meow came from the house. Xu Qian smiled and pointed above his head.”I’m sorry, Daoist priest.”

“….”

…..

Xu Qi ‘an changed into the night watchman’s uniform and left the small courtyard openly. Along the way, he met the Royal saber guards. When they saw his uniform, they didn’t even bother to ask him anything. They only wondered why the night watchman had a black cat standing on his shoulder.

Xu Qi ‘an would only be stopped when he met his colleagues, but as long as he took out the gold medal and said that he was investigating the case by imperial edict, all the problems would be solved.

Xu Qi ‘an did not deliberately rush, but with his current speed, it only took him an hour to arrive near the residence of the count of Ping Yuan.

He looked around and made sure that there was no one around. Then, he found a quiet corner and tore off a page from his spellbook, which recorded the method of using a leaf to cover one’s eyes.

“Chi …”

The Qi set the paper on fire, and an invisible force enveloped Xu Qi ‘an and the Black Cat.

The Confucian school’s ‘absolute command’. .. The Black Cat’s orange-yellow eyes were focused on this scene. Daoist priest Golden Lotus suddenly thought of many details.

No wonder number three wanted to portray himself as a student of the Yun Lu Academy. This wasn’t just because his younger cousin was a student of the Academy, but also because he himself seemed to have a great relationship with the Academy.

Otherwise, how could he have a book that recorded spells?

Daoist priest Golden Lotus directly ruled out the option of a gift from his cousin. First of all, it was impossible for an ordinary student to receive such kindness from a great scholar.

Secondly, how could a student give away such a precious treasure so easily? He probably wouldn’t even be willing to use it.

…. The scholars of Yun Lu Academy had always looked down on martial artists, so why would they gift him such a treasure? As Daoist priest Golden Lotus was thinking about this, he saw Xu Qi ‘an pull out a cloak from the Shard of the Book of the Netherworld and cover himself.

Why are you so skilled … The Black Cat shook its head.

“Before I take action, I thought of two trivial matters and would like to consult you.” Xu Qi ‘an, whose face was covered in a cloak, suddenly spoke.

“Speak!” The Black Cat vibrated the air and spoke in human language.

“Do Spirit Dragons only get close to members of the royal family?”

“In theory, yes.”

“Theory?”

Spirit Dragons like to eat purple Qi, not the members of the royal family. The Black Cat explained.

…. Xu Qi ‘an nodded. there is one more thing. I went to the Imperial City today to investigate a case. I heard that the Spirit Dragon went crazy for no reason. All the guards worked together but could not control it. It almost hurt the princess of Lin’ an.

The Black Cat did not speak for a long time.

“Daoist priest?”

The Black Cat looked around vigilantly, and Golden Lotus Daoist priest’s grave voice came from it.”The sealed artifact under the Mulberry Lake has entered the city …”

“How do you know?”

the Spirit Dragon was born with the ability to observe Qi. It can sense things that ordinary people can’t.

No wonder Yan Caiwei’s aura-gazing technique could not detect any abnormalities. She was not skilled enough … Is this the reason why the Spirit Dragon kneeled before me? ‘It can see my Strange Luck …’ In that case, the supervisor could also see it?

Xu Qi ‘an was shocked by this speculation.

Sang Bo’s sealed artifact had entered the city … The Spirit Dragon felt threatened, so it went crazy and wanted to escape from the Imperial City … He would think of a way to reveal this to Wei Yuan tomorrow.

After ending the conversation, Xu Qi ‘an leaned against the courtyard walls and sneaked out of the backyard wall of the count of Ping Yuan’s residence. He then jumped over the wall.

After he landed, he looked around cautiously to make sure that the sound of his clothes fluttering in the air had not alarmed the experts in the residence.

The residence of count Ping Yuan was vast. According to living habits, the master usually lived in the largest courtyard in the East.

Xu Qi ‘an used a leaf to blind his eyes and dodged a few groups of patrolling guards. He arrived at the largest courtyard in the East.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, his ear twitched and he heard a loud, unconcealed groan. And the man’s heavy breathing.

…. what a bad time, ” Xu Qi ‘an cursed and couldn’t help but speed up.

He touched the bottom of the window, gathered Qi in his fingers, and poked through the soft window paper. He looked through the small hole.

The hole was directly facing the master bedroom, so Xu Qi ‘an could see the movements of the two people on the bed. However, because of the thin bed curtain, he could only see the fluctuations of the quilt.

“Pfft …”

At this time, there was a slight sound above her head. It was the sound of a cat’s sharp claws piercing the window paper.

Xu Qi ‘an raised her head and saw the Black Cat standing on its hind legs above her head. Its two front paws were on the window, and its face was pressed against the hole. It was watching intently.

‘Taoist priest, you’re also into this …’ Xu Qi ‘an’s mouth twitched.

“He should be the son of Ping Yuan. Let’s rush in directly.” Xu Qi ‘an suggested.

“We’ll go in after it’s over. That’s when men are the most relaxed.” Golden Lotus rejected Xu Qi ‘an’s suggestion.

‘No, Taoist priest, you’ll regret this. You don’t know how terrifying martial artists are. After all, we’re the strongest in the Kongtong Sect …’ Xu Qian ridiculed in his heart.

After the time for two incense sticks to burn …

Golden Lotus looked down at Xu Qi ‘an. “Alright, I admit that you’re right.”

‘Tsk, tsk, that’s it. When I first slept with Fu Xiang, I persevered until midnight …’ Xu Qi ‘an thought happily. He was about to go to the front door, sneak into the house, and subdue the other party with thunderous means.

But at this moment, Xu Qi ‘an suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He had goosebumps all over his body, and it was as if there were blood-red thorns piercing through his flesh.

An inexplicable fear filled his mind.

“Something is coming …” Golden Lotus Daoist priest’s voice was unprecedentedly heavy.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qi ‘an heard the Guard’s voice from a distance, “”Who is it that dares to trespass into the residence of count Ping Yuan … Ah …”

His words turned into a scream.

Immediately after, the fluctuations of the Qi explosion spread out, and screams rose and fell, but soon, it fell into dead silence.

The legitimate son of the count of Ping Yuan, who had already entered the sage time, heard the movement. He did not even have time to put on his clothes. He quickly jumped up from the bed, took down the sword hanging on the wall, and rushed out of the room with an ugly expression.

A man in a black robe appeared in the courtyard. His face was hidden in the hood. The aura he exuded made Xu Qi ‘an’s legs tremble. She only wanted to run away.

The Black Cat arched its back, its long fur standing on end, and its pupils contracting rapidly. Its abnormal behavior reflected the Golden Lotus Taoist’s current mood to a certain extent.

“Who are you?” The legitimate son of the count of Ping Yuan said in a trembling voice.

His legs, his arms, his facial muscles … He couldn’t help but tremble and convulse.

“I’m here to collect debts.” A hoarse voice came out from the hood. The black-robed man raised his head, revealing a pale face with rather handsome features.

He had a pair of dark eyes, and his pupils seemed to occupy the entire eye socket. There was no white in his eyes.

Xu Qi ‘an didn’t know him, but he remembered his appearance and tried to guess his identity.

“It’s you, it’s you …” The son of the count of Ping Yuan screamed in fear,”You’re already dead. I saw you die with my own eyes …”

“I’m dead, but I’ve crawled out of hell again.” The black-robed man’s voice was hoarse as he raised his right hand. His hands looked like they had come from the devil. They were blood-red, and veins popped out. The moment Xu Qian saw his hands, the fear in his heart exploded.

Whoosh … The blood-red palm produced a cyclone and sucked the son of Ping Yuan into the palm.

“Help, help … Someone, someone …”

The legitimate son of the count of Ping Yuan kicked around. Suddenly, his flesh and blood shriveled, and he turned into a dried corpse in an instant.

A person who was still alive a moment ago had lost his life in the next moment.

A dried corpse? Xu Qi ‘an felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck his mind.

The black-robed man laughed hideously and circulated his Qi as if he was venting his anger. Bang … The dried corpse exploded into fine powder.

After killing the man, the black-robed man turned his head and looked at Xu Qi ‘an’s hiding place with cold eyes.

He opened his palm under the window. Hu … The rolling cyclone reappeared.

?…. Xu Qi ‘an’s feet were rooted to the ground, and she leaned back. She was getting closer and closer to the other party, to the palm that was devouring people’s lives like an abyss.

Xu Qi ‘an reached into her pocket and took out the great strength pill given by li Caiwei. She crushed the porcelain bottle and stuffed all the pills into her mouth.

Then, he pressed on the hilt of the black-gold long sword and calmed down all his emotions.

Clang!

In the dark night, the dark golden blade flashed. Ding, the bright red arm splashed a series of dazzling sparks.

The web between Xu Qi ‘an’s thumb and index finger on his right hand was torn, and the muscles on his right arm that was holding the saber were spasming.

‘This is an enemy I can’t kill with one strike …’ In the face of such an enemy, the sword intent given by the secret manual was not to strike again, but to escape.

“Run!”

The Black Cat shook the air and spoke in the human language. At the same time, it leaped up and pounced at the black-robed man.

The Black cat’s body was torn apart in the air, and Golden Lotus Daoist’s primordial spirit appeared and crashed into the black-robed man.

Daoist priest, take care … Xu Qi ‘an didn’t look at him anymore. He took the opportunity to break free from the cyclone, jumped up the roof, and climbed over the wall to escape.
