Vol 2 Chapter 198: Relic

"You read it to me, I don't understand cursive script." Xu Qi'an pushed back again.
Xu Xinnian's face became stiff, and he stared at him blankly: "Since this is the case, why do you want me to write it out?"
Because I'm in a bad mood today... Xu Qi'an urged: "Don't waste it, let you just read it, the eldest brother is like a father, my words are useless?"
Xu Xinnian muttered a few times, greeted eldest brother and his family vaguely, then grabbed the rice paper and read it.
"and many more!"
When reading a certain passage, Xu Qi'an suddenly stopped.
He grabbed the rice paper, stared at it, and asked as he looked at it, "What's the matter with this conversation, what about the follow-up? Is there no follow-up?"
Xu Erlang nodded: "There is no follow-up in the living record, it should have been revised at the beginning. Well, what's wrong with this dialogue?"
He couldn't hide his curiosity and looked at his elder brother. In Xu Erlang's view, this conversation was unremarkable. It was just a conversation between the first emperor and the previous generation of Taoist masters about cultivation and longevity.
Talking about longevity with Taoist masters is like talking about classics with masters, which is extremely common.
Xu Qi'an didn't answer him, thinking for himself, diverging his thoughts and making associations from this conversation.
Those who have been ordered to the heavens since ancient times have not been able to live forever. Can the Taoist method of eternal life be able to overcome this limit...
From this sentence, it can be seen that the first emperor knew that those who were added to the body could not live forever.
Longevity is okay, but not longevity.........
The "longevity" mentioned by the former head of the Taoist priesthood should mean prolonging one's life and longevity. The last half of the sentence is the longevity that Emperor Yuanjing is seeking.
One Qi transforms three Qings, one of the three, or three of the three.........Uh, what does this sentence mean, did the first emperor casually ask, or does it mean something else?
With doubts, Xu Qi'an continued to let the little brother read.
But there are no other suspicious clues.
"Erlang, you have to speed up the progress. Within three days, write down all the contents of the Xiandi’s living records for the eldest brother. Remember to keep it secret, and don’t let the Hanlinyuan people find you are doing this. Let’s secretly check and decide. Don’t divulge it, or it will cause disaster."
Based on the intuition of the old detective, Xu Qi'an believed that Emperor Yuanjing's indulge in cultivating the Taoism might have something to do with Emperor Xian.
In fact, the core suspicion of this case is very simple. Since the emperor cannot live forever, why did Emperor Yuanjing cultivate the Tao!
Solve this doubt, everything becomes clear.
Emperor Yuan Jing was not a fool. Even super-grade saints, ancestors of Wufu Grade 1 and Wu Zong could not live forever. Without certainty, or seeing some hope, Emperor Yuan Jing could not indulge in Taoism.
"Yeah." Xu Erlang nodded, and then said:
"Recently, I heard something in the court. There was a war in the north, do you know that brother?"
"War in the north?" Xu Qi'an was taken aback.
On that day, he tore the Queen of Zhenbei, taking advantage of auspicious Zhigu's serious injury, taking advantage of monk Shenshu Kai Wushuang, deliberately chased out of Chuzhou City, and cut this third-rank barbarian by the official road.
The purpose is to make the northern barbarians greatly injured, without a leader. In this way, the barbarian tribes vying for the position of the new leader will be messy for a while.
It is impossible to disturb the northern border.
However, the northern barbarian and the demon clan are linked together, and the northern demon clan cannot take the opportunity to cannibalize the barbarians. This will only increase internal friction.
"Witch God Sect?!" Xu Qi'an blurted out.
"The Lich Sect took the opportunity to attack the northern monsters' territories, wanting to occupy them. This is bad news for us Dafeng." Xu Erlang said.
"How is the battle?" Xu Qi'an asked.
"I don't know the specifics, but I heard that the monsters are retreating." Xu Erlang showed a serious look and said: "I heard that the general led by the Sorcerer Sect is the king of Yasukuni-Xiahou Yushu."
Who is this......... Xu Qi'an was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly recalled the dossier of the Shanhaiguan battle.
Xiahou Yushu, the king of Yasukuni. In the Shanhaiguan battle 20 years ago, he commanded the Yasukuni army and ran for three days and nights, cutting off Dafeng’s grain and grass supply line on the eve of the decisive battle.
When Wei Yuan was caught off guard, it was also the closest allied forces from all sides to victory, and they were almost able to rewrite history.
Dafeng spoke highly of the King of Yasukuni, and regarded him as a handsome talent second only to Wei Yuan, especially in terms of overall planning and overall situation.
In terms of leadership ability alone, Xiahou Yushu is stronger than Zhenbei King.
The Northeast has a vast territory and sparsely populated land. The three kingdoms are powerful, namely, Yasukuni, Kang, and Yan.
All three countries believe in witch gods, and witch religion is the state religion of the three northeast countries. There, theocratic power comes first, and the imperial power comes second, which is exactly the same as the hierarchy of the Western Regions.
The three Northeast countries only cultivate two systems, the wizard system and the martial arts system.
"Hey, Wei Gong once said that after the autumn harvest, the Witch God Sect will be attacked, but now that the Witch God Sect has invaded the territories of the northern monsters, Dafeng is very likely to send troops....this, where is such a coincidence? I don’t believe that Wei Gong can predict the prophet to this point. He wants to fight the Witch God Sect. He must have other purposes."
Xu Qi'an frowned secretly.
I don't know why, he has the feeling that the mountains and rain are about to come and the wind is all over the building.
.............
In the middle of the night, the full moon hangs high.
The cold moonlight shone in the lush mountain forest, and the night bird fluttered its wings among the forest and the green, making a screaming cry.
A cloud of blue smoke was lingering in the moonlight, passing the forest, passing the mountain peaks, passing the lakes and rivers, and finally reached a cave and got into it.
After passing through the tortuous cave tunnel, after a long time, Qingyan came to a valley in the cave. The cold moonlight shone from the top, and the valley in the cave was full of bright moon flowers.
Stones build up a high platform, vines entwined on it, and flowers are blooming, forming a "flower platform" together.
The stone chair on the stage is covered with fluffy snow-white fox fur. A young woman with outstanding elegance sits languidly, with one hand on her head, smiling and looking at the blue face returning from the mountains and rivers.
Qingyan turned into a woman who was not real enough, with graceful posture and charming temperament, but her face was vague.
"Master, I'm back."
The woman gives a gift.
"Six years have passed. You did a good job. I sent you to the capital originally for the sealed artifacts under Sangbo."
The beauty on the stone chair has a soft voice. She bends her legs, her skirt slid down, revealing two long white python-like legs, and said with a smile:
"I saw you write back, saying that I fell in love with a man, so I didn't urge you to come back. I will tolerate you for half a year, but now I have a worldly love, but now there are still concerns in the capital?"
The woman lowered her head and did not answer.
The woman on the stone chair, with a pair of eye-catching foxes, narrowed her eyes and smiled:
"Tsk tusk tusk, the fragrant oiran is famous all over the world, it is really beautiful, have you forgotten your name...Yeji."
"Ye Ji doesn't dare. Fuxiang is the daughter of a guilty courtier. She has already died of illness six years ago. Ye Ji is nothing more than occupying the magpie's nest and doing things with her body. Ye Ji will always be loyal to her master."
"If one day, I let you kill Xu Qi'an." The woman on the stone chair looked narrow, but her tone was chilly.
The woman was shocked, Yingying knelt down, and said mournfully: "That Shu Yeji can no longer work for her master, please let her master die."
The woman on the stone chair sat up straight and giggled and said, "Naughty, you know I can't kill you. Don't you always want to know what I will do with Xu Qi'an.
"I scattered your nine sisters across Kyushu that day. I once said that if you can fall in love with the same man, he will be my future husband-in-law and the king of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.
"In addition to you, there is another girl who also falls in love with him."
Ye Ji suddenly raised her head, some surprise and jealous: "Yes, who is it?"
The princess of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters smiled, glamorous, and did not answer Ye Ji's words, but instead said: "You can cultivate here for a while, and I will reshape your body for you.
"Next, there are new tasks for you to do."
...........
early morning.
Tianji and Tianshu led his subordinate detectives and rode horses to Baifeng Mountain in the western suburbs.
The huge archway has the words "Qinglong Temple" written on it, and the winding stone steps extend into the depths of the jungle and extend to the magnificent temple on the top of the mountain.
A few people were left to look after the horses, Tianji and Tianshu climbed up the steps and entered the temple.
After the disciples passed the pass, the two Tianzi secret agents met the host of the Qinglong Temple, the monk Panshu.
The old monk's white beard fell to his chest, his eyebrows were kind, and he was sitting in the meditation room.
Tianji took out a folded portrait from his arms, unfolded it, and said, "Can host Pan Shu recognize this person?"
The monk's national character face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and rough features are the monk Hengyuan in the portrait.
"Amitabha."
The Panshu monk folded his hands together and said, "He is Hengyuan, the apprentice of the poor monk."
Tianji and Tianshu looked at each other, their eyes flashed, the body of Tianji leaned forward slightly, staring at the monk Panshu: "Is this person in the temple?"
The Panshu monk shook his head: "This person has been away from the temple for more than two years. That year, Henghui, another disciple of the poor monk, disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown. Since then, Hengyuan has gone down the mountain to search for it, but never returned to the temple.
"On this matter, any disciple in the temple can testify. If an adult doesn't believe it, he will know it by asking."
Tianji nodded: "You Lao presided over the gathering of disciples."
After questioning the disciples in the temple and getting a unified answer, Tianji and Tianshu left the temple and walked side by side on the stone steps down the mountain.
Tianji said slowly: "More than two years ago, Henghui of Qinglong Temple eloped with Pingyang County lord and was murdered by Liang Dang. Later, Xu Qi'an pursued the Sangbo case and found out this old past."
Tianshu said with an "um": "The monk in the temple said that Hengyuan was extremely poor in popularity in the temple, and he never returned after going down the mountain. He most likely has left the capital."
Tianji pondered for a moment, and said: "The monk in the temple said that this person is nosy. Then, after two years in the capital, he will always leave traces. There will be many people who know him. Send someone to the outer city to inquire. Remember Don't be stunned."
.............
Xu Mansion, breakfast time.
Lina drank porridge: tons, tons, tons.
Xiaodou Ding porridge: tons, tons, burps...
Others slowly drank porridge and ate vegetables.
Ershu Xu grinned while stroking the Taiping knife.
The aunt said angrily: "I know how to touch the knife all day long. You sleep well with the knife."
"Okay." Xu Ershu said, looking at his nephew.
"Okay." Xu Qi'an nodded, "Taiping, you should stay with your second uncle."
The aunt yelled angrily: "None of my uncle and nephew has a good thing."
She turned to look at her son, and said, "Erlang, how are you and the Wang family."
"Why are you talking about this..." Xu Erlang said with a bit of temptation.
"Have you not been to the Wang's house, then do we have to invite other girls to come and sit at home? Although my Xu's family is not a scholar, but I also know the etiquette, you can invite her to come to the house as a guest."
The aunt pinched Fan'er of the mistress of the family.
Auntie, if you want to say that, then I have to buy the seeds in advance...Xu Qi'an is refreshed.
"This is not ceremonial. I asked her to come to the mansion. Her name is not right." Xu Erlang pierced his mother's half-hearted level.
"In my name, if you invite Miss Wang to come and sit at the mansion, it will be a matter of courtesy." Xu Lingyue said softly.
Xu Erlang thought for a while and said, "Let's do it."
Xu Qi'an followed up: "Then set a time, don't delay it too long, it will last a few days."
When the aunt heard this, she couldn't help but look at her nephew: "What Da Lang is so enthusiastic about."
I'm not enthusiastic, I can't wait to see you being beaten by your future daughter-in-law... Xu Qianxin said that he felt that his boring investigation career finally had some fun.
Then he looked at Xu Lingyue again.
Was it Wang Simu slinging on the future mother-in-law, or the younger sister-in-law striding forward to fight his sister-in-law and save his mother from crisis?
This is no more interesting than the opera of Goulan.
"I'm the eldest brother, so naturally I have to care about Erlang's marriage. Erlang's marriage is set, so Lingyue's marriage can be put on the agenda." Xu Qi'an said in a serious manner.
Xu Lingyue lowered her head, her beautiful eyes flashed brightly.
"Yes!" The aunt agreed.
After breakfast, Xu Qi'an returned to the room and glanced at Zhong Li who was sitting at the table eating.
The messy black hair was slightly divided, showing a small cherry mouth, squirming slightly like a rabbit gnawing on a radish.
Although he has never seen Zhong Li's front face, the eyes or lips occasionally revealed that he is a beauty with rather delicate features.
"Go go, I'm going to write a memo."
Xu Qi'an drove her away from the desk.
Zhong Li held the bowl and squatted by the bed to continue eating.
"Cultivating "intention" this morning, as soon as possible to combine all kinds of faculties in one sword, heaven and earth slash + heart sword + lion roar + peace sword, I have a hunch that when I cultivate "intention", I will be in the realm of fourth rank.
"I went on a date with Lin'an in the afternoon. I "accidentally" touched Lin'an's waist the day before yesterday. It was so soft."
"I can't stay at home tomorrow. I have to go to sleep with the survivor. I have to take her out to go shopping and go out."
"I went to Huaiqing Mansion the next morning to meet my Gao Leng goddess. It was hard to leave her alone. I haven't chatted with her for a long time. Talking freely with a well-learned beauty is something that people yearn for.
"I promised Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao in the afternoon to listen to the music in Goulan. Jiaofang Division, hey, I won't go to Jiaofang Division."
"The day after tomorrow I promised Li Miaozhen to buy grain and porridge. This stupid woman, I told her that it is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people to fish. But the stupid woman said, what can you teach people to fish? I was speechless. Right.
"In the afternoon, take Lina, Caiwei, and Xiaodouding to the restaurant to eat..."
"Next, I have to go to sleep with the undead..."
At this point, Xu Qi'an feels something is wrong.
Huh, where's my business? What about the case I want to investigate?
He wrote at the end of the memo: "Xu Qi'an, Xu Qi'an, you can't hang around with a woman all day long and ignore business affairs."
A few seconds later, he crossed out this sentence and changed it to: "I need a copy of "Master Luo Time Management"."
Finished writing the memo with melancholy, glanced at Zhong Li, who was sitting on the bed and practicing meditation after breakfast~EbookFREE.me~ I thought it was the fifth sister, and stayed quietly in the fish pond.
Neither be a demon nor delay you from doing business.
At this time, the concierge Lao Zhang ran over and said at the door: "Da Lang, someone is looking for you."
Xu Qi'an heard this and responded: "Who?"
"It's a girl, calling herself Meier."
Meier, the fragrant close-knit maid...Xu Qi'an was silent for a moment, and said, "Tell her to the outer hall, and I will pass."
He put the memo in the book and told Zhong Li: "Don't peek."
Zhong Li nodded obediently.
Leaving the room, passing through the inner courtyard, to the outer hall, he saw Mei Er sitting on the side of the chair with a straight face, her waist upright, and she seemed a little nervous.
There is a small cloth bag on the coffee table at hand.
"Meer."
Xu Qi'an stepped into the inner hall, pressed her hand towards the girl who stood up in a panic, and said softly, "Is there any trouble?"
Unlike before, Mei Er's dress is rather plain, with her face facing the sky, far inferior to her gorgeous dress when she was in Yingmei Pavilion.
He guessed that Mei Er might have been bullied at Jiaofang Division.
"Xu Yinluo...No, Mr. Xu."
Meier shook her head and said, "I'm no longer in Jiaofang Division. Before Lady Fuxiang left, she left part of her savings to me and let me use them to redeem herself. I plan to return to my hometown to serve my parents. Then, I will find another one. Honestly married."
Hell, what the did the honest people do, why even the other world treats them like this... Xu Qi'an smiled gently, "So, you came to say goodbye to me?"
It's also very good to be able to go well, and I hope she is well now.
Meier shook her head again: "Before Lady Fuxiang leaves, I have a few things to pass to you."
Xu Qi'an's pupils contracted slightly.
