Chapter 84
84 Emergency (1)
My dog eyes are going blind, my titanium alloy dog eyes are going blind … Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes were burning, and hot tears rolled down.
The moment he peeked at the stargazing tower, his eyes felt as if they were pierced by two steel needles. His consciousness went into a daze for a moment, and then he felt a sharp pain.
Song tingfeng knelt on Xu Qi ‘an’s chest to stop him from rolling around. He opened Xu Qi’ an’s eyes and found that his colleague’s eyes were red, but his pupils were fine. He was not blind.
Song tingfeng heaved a sigh of relief and ignored his stupid colleague.
Xu Qi ‘an’s burning pain disappeared after 15 minutes. He sat on the ground with red eyes. His vision was still blurry, and he could only see two figures in front of him.
“What did you just do?” Song tingfeng’s voice was heard.
“I took a look at the stargazing tower …” Xu Qi ‘an closed his eyes and said, “”My younger cousin is a student of the Yun Lu Academy. Today, he gifted me a piece of paper that recorded the aura observation technique.”
Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao knew about the Xu family’s background. They nodded when they heard this.
“Then, I used my aura-gazing technique to check on the Directorate of Celestials,” Xu Qi ‘an continued.
After he finished speaking, he realized that song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao had not spoken for a long time.
Song tingfeng sighed. do you know that the supervisor likes to stay on the eight trigrams stage in the stargazing tower? ”
“I don’t know,”
“Then, do you know that the person at the peak of the Warlock system is our supervisor?”
“I know about this.”
“Well, you used the aura observation technique to look at the supervisor. Aren’t you looking for death?”
“I really don’t know about this …”
Zhu guangxiao also sighed. the astrologers of the Imperial astronomer have more frequent interactions with the night watchmen. You will slowly gain experience. You will know in the future.
Apart from the warlocks themselves and the Confucians, no ordinary person could master the aura-observing technique.
Xu Qi ‘an was totally surprised this time.
The three of them didn’t continue their night patrol. Instead, they sat on the street and rested, waiting for Xu Qi ‘an’s dog eyes to regain their light.
After a long time, a red light suddenly rose in the eastern sky. It lasted for a few seconds and then dissipated.
“Qiang!”
Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao unsheathed their daggers in unison.
Xu Qi ‘an, who had just regained his sight, asked, “”What’s going on?”
“The red light is a warning to us. It’s usually used for searching and arresting. It was possible that a group’s watchman had discovered a suspicious person, but he had escaped … The red light seems to be very close to us.”
“Ningyan, your eyes haven’t recovered yet. Guangxiao, let’s go up to the roof and look out.”
The two of them used their Qinggong and jumped to the top of the building, each heading in a different direction.
The area that the three of them were responsible for patrolling was very large. In such a situation, they could only split up and search.
After watching his two colleagues leave, Xu Qi ‘an took out his knife and military crossbow. Then, he tightened the gong on his chest and the heart-protecting mirror further inside.
He didn’t usually use the bone-corroding poison and didn’t smear it on the blade, for fear that one day he would be out of his mind and lick it.
Xu Qi ‘an patrolled vigilantly for a moment. He saw an unfamiliar copper Gong flying over the eaves and walls. The copper Gong stopped on the roof and said in a deep voice, ”
“Where are the other two?”
“We’ve split up. What happened?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.
“The count of Ping Yuan was killed, and two of his colleagues in charge of the area were injured. The thief escaped with a secret technique and is currently missing,” copper Gong said.
Ping Yuan Bo … The Earl was killed?
Xu Qi ‘an was shocked. He was not angry at the fact that someone dared to kill an Earl in the inner city. Instead, his first reaction was to feel his scalp go numb.
Although the power of the great Feng dynasty had declined, an Earl was still an Earl, and there were definitely experts in his residence.
The murderer had killed the Earl, injured the night watchman, and left calmly. He was not an ordinary expert.
Without a doubt, Xu Qi ‘an felt that he would be in great danger if he encountered them.
After saying that, copper Gong quickly left, probably to inform the guards at the city gate.
‘Damn it … My eyes haven’t fully recovered yet, so I can’t see clearly … However, with my physique, I shouldn’t be able to … Xu Qi ‘an secretly prayed that he would not encounter a murderer.
At this time, he felt that there was news from the fragment of The Earth Book. After the blood contract, he had an inexplicable connection with The Earth Book.
Which guy spammed the group in the middle of the night without sleeping?
While he was confused, he took out the Jade Mirror and saw a line of words on the mirror:
[ 6: everyone, I’m in trouble in Beijing. Can you help me? ]
After a few minutes, Daoist priest Golden Lotus popped up.[ 9: what trouble are you in? ]
[ 6: I’m trapped in the inner city, facing a search by the night watchmen. In at most two hours, the sorcerers from the Directorate of Celestials will arrive. At that time, I will be doomed. ]
Xu Qi ‘an: “??? ”
No way …
He instantly associated it with the murder of Ping Yuan Bo. Number six was that murderer?
Golden Lotus Daoist did not speak for a while. He seemed to feel that the situation was tricky and could not come up with a solution.
[ 2. Try to break out of the encirclement by force? ]
[ 6: no, it’s too far from the city gate. There are night watchmen and Royal sword guards on night patrol along the way. [ moreover, there’s an outer city outside of the inner city. ]
[ 2. Do you have any aura-concealing magical artifacts on you? ]
[ 6: No. ]
[ 9: I do have some, but I can’t send them to you. ]
[ six: Daoist priest, don’t worry. If I can’t escape this calamity, I’ll leave The Earth Book where it is. You can follow its aura and find me tomorrow. ]
In the capital, especially in the inner city, it was almost impossible to escape the search of the night watchmen.
[ two: bald donkey, don’t say such disheartening words. ]
At this moment, a new character appeared.
[ 4. I have some friendship with the Dao chief of the human sect … ] However, the numinous Treasure Palace is in the Imperial City. I can’t help you. ]
[ 2: isn’t that the same as not saying anything? ]
Number four had a friendship with the female state preceptor … Daoist priest Golden Lotus wasn’t lying. The wielders of The Earth Book were no ordinary people.
Number two called number six a bald donkey, number four called number six a monk, and number six was a Buddhist?
Xu Qi ‘an silently peeked at the screen.
At the same time, he saw the cohesion of the Heaven and Earth Society. The owners of the book of the nether world might be on their own guard, wary of their own identity being exposed, but there was indeed a gang inviting them to offer incense.
[ 2: bald donkey, go and ask number one. He’s from Beijing. ]
Number one was probably peeking at the screen again. Seeing that number two had mentioned him, he no longer remained silent.[ one: what have you done? ]
[ 6. I killed ping Yuanbo. ]
It was indeed him, the culprit tonight was indeed him!
‘Number six actually admitted it so quickly. He’s too honest …’ The other day, I asked him if he was a member of the Heaven and Earth Society, and he admitted it without hesitation … Monks don’t lie?
However, monks don’t commit murder. What the hell did you mean by sneaking into Ping Yuan Bo’s house in the middle of the night and killing him?
Xu Qian ridiculed in his heart.
The Earth Book group was silent, and no one spoke for a long time.
They were probably shocked by what Lu had done.
[ one: sorry, I can’t help you. ]
[ 9: No. 1, we’re both in the Heaven and Earth Society, help as much as you can. [ this penniless priest believes that Lu wouldn’t kill people for no reason. ]
Did Daoist priest Golden Lotus mean that he believed that number one had the ability to help number six? Even with the night watchmen and Royal blade guards blocking the way, and the sorcerers from the Directorate of Celestials about to appear, he still believed that number one could help number six?
‘Well, Daoist priest Golden Lotus is the only one who knows everyone’s identity …’ Number one’s status might be higher than I had expected.
Xu Qi ‘an made a judgment.
The reply to Daoist priest Golden Lotus was silence. Number one’s attitude was firm. He wouldn’t help.
“Number two is a warm-hearted person, at least on the surface. Number six was a Buddhist. He was very honest and didn’t lie. Number four had a friendship with the head of the human sect, but his identity was unknown. Number nine was the Golden Lotus Daoist priest, and number one was someone from the Imperial court. He liked to peek at the screen and had a very high status …
“Number six killed ping Yuanbo, so number one is not willing to help number six,” Xu Qi ‘an thought.
“Number two is a warm-hearted person, at least on the surface. Number six was a Buddhist. He was very honest and didn’t lie. Number four had a friendship with the head of the human sect, but his identity was unknown. Number nine was the Golden Lotus Daoist priest, and number one was someone from the Imperial court. He liked to peek at the screen and had a very high status … This werewolf kill is quite interesting.”
“I’ll also show off … No, show your divinity in front of the masses.” Xu Qi ‘an used his finger as a pen and entered the information:
“Number six, I can consider helping you, but I must first know why you killed ping Yuanbo. Hehe, you don’t have to answer me and reject my good intentions, but don’t lie.”
[ PS: in response to everyone’s request, I changed The Earth Book’s serial number. ] Please vote for me.
Damn, I forgot the time.
