Chapter 563
563 Li Miaozhen enters the capital (2)
Because of this interlude, the master and servant no longer strolled around leisurely. Li Miaozhen put susu into the fragrance bag, summoned the flying sword, and jumped on the sword Ridge.
The flying sword shot through the air with a whoosh.
After a quarter of an hour, she saw the towering outline of the capital and the scattered villages and towns around it.
Li Miaozhen’s flying sword landed outside the city. The flying sword had a spirit and automatically returned to its sheath.
“Swish!”
She shook the small Jade Mirror, and a lifelike paper man floated out of the mirror. The bones were made of bamboo branches, and the features were like a painting.
Patting the sachet, susu turned into green smoke and drifted out, gracefully entering the paper man.
The paper man suddenly came to life, and its eyebrows and eyes moved. The body made of paper turned into flesh and blood, and its dress fluttered.
The master and servant exchanged a smile and entered the capital.
“Master, this is the first time I’ve come to the capital. Everyone says that this is the city of the most benevolent and the most prosperous city on the continent.” Su Su said excitedly. After passing through the city gate, she looked around impatiently.
calm down. Your life and your ghost’s life are close to forty years old. Li Miaozhen said as she walked to the notice board by the city wall.
Every time she arrived at a city, she would instinctively look at the notice board. On it, there would be notices posted by the government, including imperial decrees, wanted notices, and so on.
master, your old habit is back again. There are many masters in the capital. Even if there is a denunciation, it is not your turn to enforce justice on behalf of heaven. Susu held up a red umbrella to block the sun.
At this time, she saw li Miaozhen’s body suddenly stiffen, and her eyes slowly widened. She stared at a notice on the wall with a look of disbelief.
She rarely lost her composure like this. What did she see? Out of curiosity, susu walked over to li Miaozhen and looked at the Luan Wen.
The next moment, her almond-shaped eyes widened and her small red mouth opened slightly, as if she had seen a ghost … This metaphor was not appropriate. It was like seeing a Daoist who walked the path on behalf of the heavens.
It was unknown if it was due to shock or excitement, but the hand holding the red umbrella trembled slightly.
………….
The afternoon sun was scorching. Xu Qi ‘an was patrolling the streets with his subordinates. A while ago, Wei Yuan had accepted his suggestion and formed a temporary team of martial artists.
If they were put in charge of maintaining the security of the capital, the Imperial court would give them very good treatment and rewards.
The wondrous part of this policy was that it could solve the problem of public security from the root. Why were incidents of theft and robbery so common?
This was because most of the people in the martial arts world were second-rate punks who did not have a fixed income. The prices in the capital were expensive, so how could they survive if they did not steal or Rob?
They were given a way to make a living, to maintain law and order, and to attack the enemy’s shield with their spear. Of course, every security team organized by the people of Jianghu would be monitored by the people of the Imperial court to prevent them from embezzling.
After the first few days of severe cracking down, the Jianghu people who poured into the city were much more obedient.
So, Xu Qi ‘an decided to go to the brothel and listen to music.
“Food, clothing, and lust are all thought of, but once these things are satisfied, humans have to pursue a higher level of enjoyment, that is, enjoyment on the spiritual level. There’s no computer in this world, so we can’t play games or watch movies. We can only go to bars to watch shows and listen to music to maintain a decent life …”
Xu Qi ‘an led the gongs into the bar and asked for a private room. They drank tea, ate fruits, and watched the opera in the hall.
Suddenly, he felt a familiar palpitations.
Xu Qi ‘an turned around to block the gongs’ line of sight. He took out the fragment of the book of the nether world and was shocked.
[ two: Xu Qi! an is not dead yet? ]
[ two: why didn’t anyone tell me that Xu Qi! an was still alive? why didn’t you tell me that Xu Qi! an was still alive! ]
After two messages, there was no more news.
[ 4: hmm? [ does Li Miao really not know that Xu Qi ‘an is still alive? ]
Chu Yuanxi sent a letter to express her doubts.
[ one: after the Yunzhou case, she has been running around. It is normal that she did not know that Xu Qi ‘an had come back to life. However, as the news of the battle spread, she knew that it was only a matter of time. She and Xu Qi ‘an have formed a deep friendship in Yunzhou. It’s not strange for her to be so excited. ]
Why do I feel like number one is gloating? Xu Qian’s heart sank.
[ six: why isn’t number two saying anything? ]
Hengyuan also joined in the discussion.
Xu Qi ‘an thought for a while and said,[ 3: No. 2, I have something to say to you … ]
Before this message was sent out, the people in The Earth Book chat group saw the message from Daoist priest Golden Lotus.[ li Miaozhen has arrived in Beijing. ]
After that, no one received any more messages.
On the side of the street, li Miaozhen was trembling as she held the fragment of the book of the nether world. Her fingers trembled as she typed in the message:[ Xu Qi ‘an, you bastard! [ when are you going to stop lying to us? ]
He sent the letter out, but there was no response for a long time.
Li Miaozhen’s anger grew colder and colder as she sent a letter,[ could it be that you all know that he’s number three? [ you’re working together to lie to me? ]
This was the only way to explain why no one had mentioned the news that Xu Qi ‘an was still alive, and why everyone was silent at the moment.
[ 9: Miaozhen, they don’t know Xu Qi ‘an’s identity. [ as for why he was resurrected, it’s a long story. I’ll give you an address, and you can come here to find me. ]
At this time, li Miaozhen received a letter from the Golden Lotus Taoist.
Li Miaozhen stared at the letter from the Golden Lotus Daoist priest with complicated feelings. She couldn’t tell if she was angry or happy, or ashamed?
“Master, is that kid really not dead?”
After the letter was sent, susu asked impatiently. Her beautiful face revealed nervousness and secret joy, as if that man’s life and death were very important to her.
Li Miaozhen suppressed her anger and replied with an “en.”
She recalled how she had often lamented to the “charm” beside her that the heavens were jealous of talents and that Xu Qi ‘an’s death was a pity. She felt a sense of shame, as if she was covering her face and looking for a hole to hide in.
Susu also had the same feeling, so the master and servant looked at each other and tacitly looked away.
………..
[ 9: li Miaozhen has entered the city, do you want to see her? [ although I blocked her and didn’t let her say too much, what should come will come. ]
Xu Qi ‘an received a message from the Golden Lotus Taoist priest.
Daoist priest, well done! Xu Qi ‘an’s eyebrows were raised, and his face was filled with joy.[ I can see her. ]
[ 9: come to my place. ]
Xu Qi ‘an put away the fragments of the Book of the Netherworld and threw a few pieces of silver.”I still have things to deal with. After you’re done drinking, continue to patrol the streets.”
“Yes, boss,”
…………..
In the outer city, at the entrance of a small courtyard where willow trees were planted.
Li Miaozhen, who was wearing a Daoist robe, gently knocked on the courtyard door. After a few breaths, the courtyard door opened automatically and the gentle voice of the Golden Lotus Taoist came, “”Please come in.”
Li Miaozhen brought the ghost servant susu inside, passed through the small courtyard, crossed the threshold, and saw the Golden Lotus Daoist priest sitting cross-legged in the room.
His hair was white, and strands of hair hung down. He looked as sloppy and casual as ever.
very good. As expected of one of the most talented disciples in the sky sect. You’ve already entered the nascent soul realm. Daoist priest Golden Lotus praised.
Fourth-grade Daoist, nascent soul!
“Chu Yuanxi’s swordsmanship is superb. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to defeat him if he doesn’t step into the fourth stage.” Li Miaozhen said.
“I remember that your senior brother has long been a fourth-grade Yuanying. Is there still no news of his whereabouts?” Daoist priest Golden Lotus asked.
“Who knows? maybe he died from a woman’s revenge, or maybe he was imprisoned by an old lover and kept as a forbidden woman. I can’t be bothered with his business.” Li Miaozhen’s tone was indifferent.
“To be honest, I don’t want you to fight Chu yuanshu to the death. I don’t even want to see the two of you fight,” Daoist priest Golden Lotus said after a moment of silence.
Li Miaozhen said lightly,”this is the fate of Taoism. The celestial sect and the human sect have been fighting for countless years without a winner.” Now that sect master has stepped into the first rank, we can finally put an end to this orthodoxy battle.”
The Golden Lotus Daoist priest smiled and did not continue the topic.
Li Miaozhen took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, “”What happened to Xu Qi ‘an?”
“He’s not dead. He took the pill from the Directorate of Celestials and faked his death …” Daoist priest Golden Lotus explained the reason simply.
“Why did you hide it from us?” Su Su said angrily.
“You can ask him this question yourself.” Golden Lotus Daoist priest looked at the courtyard with a smile.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard. Xu Qi ‘an stopped outside the courtyard.
He tied the little mare and entered the yard. He walked into the room and gave li Miaozhen an awkward but polite smile.
“Long time no see, why have you changed your clothes, General Li?”
Then, he glanced at song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao’s paper goddess and teased, “”Miss susu, have you made your decision? do you want to be my concubine?”
“Hmph!”
Susu glared at him and turned her face away, looking disgusted.
I’m a disciple of the heavenly sect. I’m dressed like this in a battle between the heavens and the human.
Li Miaozhen finished with a blank expression and snorted, ” I’m going to announce that you’re number three to all the owners of the fragments of the nether world Book.
