Chapter 195



195 The lion’s roar _1

Heng Yuan stopped and turned around. He did not say anything and bowed to Xu Qi ‘an.

“I want to go to the health Hall to take a look.” Xu Qi ‘an made his request.

“Sure.”

“Let’s go together.” Xu Qi ‘an invited his two colleagues.

“Did you not bring any money?” Song tingfeng gave him a sidelong glance.

Xu Qi ‘an smiled but didn’t say anything. She took two steps and stepped on a hard lump. She picked it up naturally and put it in her palm.”Look, the money is here.”

Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao: “??? ”

The former stared at the dull silver and said gloomily, “”I wasn’t paying attention when I was walking just now and missed this silver. I let you take advantage of me for nothing.”

In fact, you’ve missed out on at least a few taels of silver … Xu Qi ‘an’s lips twitched. He put the silver into his pocket and explained, ” master Hengyuan lives in the Yang Sheng Hall in the East of the outer city. I heard that the widows there are not living well.

“There are many people in the world who don’t live well.” Zhu guangxiao finished in a muffled voice and sighed.

The three of them followed Hengyuan out of the inner city and headed toward the sanatorium in the east of the city. In the process, song tingfeng discovered something interesting.

look at this monk. We’re walking fast, so he’s walking fast as well. He’s always maintaining a fixed distance from us, but he doesn’t look back at all.

Of course, this was not because Hengyuan had eyes on the back of his head.What a terrifying spiritual sense.

Deliberately speeding up their pace, the four of them soon arrived at the east of the city. This was a slum area, with low and dilapidated houses everywhere, and people wearing old and patched cotton-padded jackets.

Their faces were yellow and their bodies were emaciated as they basked in the sun, their eyes dull. The children here still had a lively light in their eyes, but their thin bodies and Dirty Faces, as well as the eyes that always stared at people’s wallets, made people feel disgusted with them for no reason.

A great loathing rose in Xu Qian’s heart, but it was not directed at the poor and children, but at the environment.

In his previous life, he had seen many photos of war-torn zones. Poverty, hunger, and chaos were the unchanging tones. Every time he saw a similar picture or scene, he would feel a strong sense of loathing, because he, who yearned for the good in his heart, was unable to change these things.

It was probably the so-called incompetent rage.

“Look after your wallets, even though they don’t have the courage and ability to steal your silver.” Hengyuan’s voice came from the front and he continued, ”

here, don’t act like you’re giving alms, because it will put you in an awkward position.

He didn’t explain what kind of awkward situation he was in.

‘I understand that. As long as I show them kindness, I’ll be a fat sheep to them …’ Is monk Heng Yuan afraid that we will be angry and hurt the poor people here? Xu Qian thought about it in his heart and said,

I rarely come to such a place. Why don’t I work? ”

most of the people who live in this place are refugees who don’t have land. They might have had it before, but they couldn’t stand the heavy labor and chose to give up their land and come to the city to make a living.

“But there’s no place for them to live in the city. From time to time, there will be hunters coming here to look for targets to fish for. However, in order to survive, there is indeed no lack of people who commit crimes.”

Master Heng Yuan explained calmly.

As they spoke, the four of them arrived at the health Hall. It was an old courtyard, and the plaque on the gate had long faded in the wind and frost.

“A while ago, there were people from the government who came to repair the courtyard, but I replaced the new plaque with the old one. It might not be a good thing for the health care Hall if it was too glamorous. The three of you, please!”

After they entered the hall of health maintenance, Hengyuan led them inside and said, “”Lord Xu, this poor monk knows that you have some difficulties. I’m looking for your help, not to borrow money. I’ve heard that you have a good relationship with the astrologers, so I’d like to ask for your help to find the white-robed sorcerers and 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 withered grass and quilts. A charcoal basin and a large bowl were placed in the corner, and a thin black Dog was curled up on the quilt.

Hearing the noise, the Black Dog tried to get up, but failed. It raised its head with difficulty and saw a stranger. Its gray eyes subconsciously showed a look of flattery, and it said intermittently, ”

“Fu ru … ‘Eastern Sea, good luck …’ Great li.”

Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao, who were initially expressionless, suddenly froze.

Xu Qi ‘an felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He remembered some of the words that number six had said when he saved him.

“This, this is … That child?” Xu Qi ‘an mumbled.

“He only knows how to say these eight words.” Hengyuan stared at the Black Dog with a benevolent expression. I saved my Junior Brother henghui when I was looking for him. He wouldn’t be able to live for long after suffering such a tragic treatment. During this period of time, I used my Qi to warm his body and barely allowed him to survive.

“But this can’t last long. His body is in a terrible condition and he needs to be treated. Otherwise, he’ll die in three days at most. Ordinary doctors could not save him, only the sorcerers of the Directorate of Celestials could. This poor monk had 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 ending for him.”

Hengyuan looked at Gong and said in a low voice, “”Every day when the sun rises, his eyes are bright. I can read the desire in them, because it’s a pure hope that only wants to live.

“In your eyes, he might be as insignificant as the weeds in the courtyard. But even a little grass wants to live a tough life.”

Song tingfeng was silent.

Xu Qi ‘an looked at the’ Black Dog ‘and said, ” I know. I’ll ask the astrologist to see you. Master … If you need money in the future, feel free to come and find me. ”

“I can only pay three silver coins a day at most,” he added.

Three coins a day? Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao were slightly touched. One tael was worth eight coins. Xu Qi ‘an’s monthly salary, excluding the grains, was only four or five taels of real gold and silver.

Even in the inner city, they could live a more well-off life.

Three coins a day, that was one tael every three days. Where did he get so much money? Oh, he has the 1000 taels of gold from His Majesty, so that’s fine.

Hengyuan shook his head.

don’t worry. The money came in the right place. It’s like I picked it up for free. Xu Qi ‘an comforted.

Master Hengyuan nodded and appeased the ‘Black Dog’. He led Xu Qi’ an and the other two back to the front yard and said, “”Milords, please wait a moment. I have something to say to Lord Xu.”

Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao nodded. One of them turned around and went to play with the children who were hiding in the room and peeking at the guests, while the other went to talk to the old man who was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard.

After entering a simple house, Hengyuan closed the door and put his palms together, ” Lord Xu’s aura is deep and full of energy. Are you about to enter the spirit-forging stage? ”

He was so accurate? I only know that number six is an eighth grade monk, but I don’t know how strong he is. ‘I don’t even know my limits yet, but he already knows my limits …’ “What can I do for you, master?” Xu Qi ‘an asked with a serious expression.

“Do you have a visualization picture?”

“There are.”

Master Hengyuan nodded and said,”I’m a monk. I can’t return master Xu’s money. I wanted to wait until you reached the peak of the Qi refining realm to give master Xu a visualization picture.”

“Since my Lord has such a technique, then I will change to another technique.”

‘I’ve already mastered the heaven and earth One blade slash. The pros and cons of this ultimate technique are very obvious …’ Indeed, he should learn other ultimate techniques to make up for his shortcomings … Xu Qi ‘an’s spirits were lifted. thank you, master.

Hengyuan nodded. I’m an eighth-grade monk. I don’t know any of the abstruse Buddhist spells. I only know some offensive means. He was best at the Buddhist lion roar. This technique is both a visualization method and an absolute art. ”

It was a matching set … The damage output all depended on roaring … Xu Qi ‘an was a little disappointed when he heard that. Lion’s roar sounded like it was used by boorish people and lacked some style.

No. 6 Hengyuan saw the disappointment in Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes. He thought for a while and said, “”I can show you the power of the lion’s roar.”

Just don’t yell until I’m deaf … Xu Qi ‘an nodded and reminded him worriedly, “”Won’t it affect the elderly and children in the courtyard?”

“I’ll control the power in this room,” Hengyuan shook his head.

After that, Xu Qi ‘an saw number six take a deep breath and punch with a normal posture.

This punch was ordinary, with Double D’s in strength and speed, and no threat at all … Just as this thought flashed through his mind, he heard a loud and sonorous lion’s roar.

?|`O’|Aooooo~~

Xu Qi ‘an’s brain was convulsing, and he entered a state of unconsciousness. When he found himself again, he saw a fist the size of a casserole pressing against the tip of his nose.

this technique shakes the primordial spirit and terrorizes the enemy. If you cultivate it to a high level, even the most Taoist Yin spirit will find it hard to be immune, ” monk Hengyuan said in a deep voice.

‘This move is perfect when combined with my heaven and earth One blade slash …’ My biggest concern was the large gap. With the control effect of lion’s roar, I wasn’t afraid of missing my ultimate … “Please teach me, master,” Xu Qi ‘an said happily.

At the same time, a question flashed through his mind.Was he really just an eighth grade monk?

Hengyuan turned around and walked to the bed. He pulled out an old wooden box from under the bed, took out a picture book, and handed it to Xu Qi ‘an.

“This book records the method of Qi circulation as well as my own cultivation insights.”

Xu Qi ‘an reached out to take it. Master Hengyuan pressed the seal and said in a deep voice, “”I have to return it.”

Why did he add this? Has ning also heard of my name, Xu Bailin? “Yes, master,” Xu Qi ‘an nodded.

After leaving the room, he went to the front yard and met up with his two colleagues. The three of them discussed for a while and decided to donate one tael of silver to the health Hall.

After bidding Hengyuan farewell, song tingfeng suddenly said, “”Wait a moment.”

He turned around and ran back, staring at the old clerk without a word. He gritted his teeth, his face ferocious.

“Your, Your Excellency?” The old clerk was a little afraid.

Song tingfeng gritted his teeth and threw the money bag over. He couldn’t bear to look at it anymore and turned to leave.

That was the five taels of silver he planned to use tonight to go to the Imperial Academy’s workshop, and his salary for a month.

“You damned Xu ningyan, if I ever follow you to a place like this again, I’ll follow your surname.” Song tingfeng kicked Xu Qian.

Xu Qi ‘an avoided him and sneered. I don’t care if you take my surname. Your son will take my surname in the future.

Song tingfeng took off his scabbard and chased after him.

……

After returning to the inner city, Xu Qi ‘an left the work of patrolling the streets to his two colleagues and went to the stargazing tower.

“Young master Xu,” The white-robed warlocks greeted him warmly, and no one stopped him from going upstairs.

Xu Qi ‘an looked around but could not find Chu Caiwei or Song Qing. He grabbed an Alchemist and asked, ”

“Where is miss Caiwei?”

“The eldest Princess is here. Junior Sister Cai Wei is accompanying her to the eight trigrams stage to meet teacher Jian Zheng.” The gold cultivator said.

My main wife and small wife are both here … “Where’s senior brother song?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.

“The magistrate has asked for a death row prisoner, and he’s studying him in a secret chamber.”

“….”

Xu Qi ‘an gave up the idea of meeting Song Qing and asked, “”Where’s the kitchen?”
