Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Thriller

[Three: What's up with the Tiandihui?]

[Nine: The Tiandihui is a cult that has been coveting our Dizong's magic weapon for a long time. Haha, this magic weapon is also called the Earth Book. It can send messages over thousands of miles.

I received a message from Senior Brother Jinlian asking for help a while ago, and learned that he went to the capital of Dafeng, because only by entering the capital can he avoid the pursuit of the Tiandihui.

But when I rushed to the capital, I lost Senior Brother Jinlian's contact information, so I sent a message through the Earth Book, and then I learned that he had handed over the "Earth Book" to you. I guess Senior Brother's situation is very critical, so he had to give up the Earth Book in order to protect himself. ]

I'm so.... I mean who gave me the blame?!

Xu Qian'an was stunned.

[Nine: I just don't know who you are, and how Senior Brother Jinlian can trust you with the Earth Book.]

I'm just a little quick hand, no, I'm just a little night watchman... Xu Qian'an was half disappointed.

[Three: Why can abandoning the Earth Book protect oneself? Can the people of the Heaven and Earth Society locate the location of the Earth Book?]

The reasoning master Xu Qi'an keenly grasped this question.

[Nine: This matter involves a secret of our Earth Sect, and I cannot tell it. The Earth Book is the most precious treasure of our sect. I hope you can return it to me. I will definitely reward you handsomely.]

[Three: Okay, how should I return it to you?]

Xu Qi'an was a little reluctant to give it up. After all, this is a treasure that can serve as a storage ring, but considering the risks it brings, he still chose to follow his heart.

[Nine: I am in the capital and can come to you at any time. If you don't trust me, you can choose to exchange addresses. Well, what do you want? ]

Naizi, I want warm Naizi...Xu Qi'an almost blurted it out.

[: Taoist priest, you are too polite. It is my duty to return the property to its original owner. However, the Taoist priest Jinlian told me that this is a treasure of heaven and earth, and he sold it to me for 500 taels of gold.

I am not asking for money, but the treasure should be returned to its original owner, and the gold should also be returned to its original owner. It is an equal exchange, right?]

[*:.....It should be so. ]

...

Xu Qi'an put away the mirror and fell asleep with the beautiful dream of 500 taels of gold in his heart.

The next day, he changed into the uniform of the night watchman, hung his waist badge and sword, and tied the new copper gong on his chest.

Climbed over the wall to have breakfast at his second uncle's house.

After leaving Xu's house, Xu Qi'an took the reins from the gatekeeper Lao Zhang and rode to the inner city to the night watchman's office.

This horse was the mount of my second uncle, and now it belongs to Xu Qi'an. Of course, in order to shut up my aunt, Xu Qi'an gave my second uncle fifty taels of silver.

There was nothing he could do about it. The night watchman's office was in the inner city, too far from Xu's house. If Xu Qi'an walked, it would be almost lunch time when he arrived at the night watchman's office.

Rushing to the night watchman's office, and stepping into Chunfeng Hall, Li Yuchun was drinking tea with a silver gong.

"A newcomer under your command?" The silver gong asked casually when he saw that it was

a stranger.

"Yes." Li Yuchun nodded.

"What rating?" the silver gong asked.

Li Yuchun didn't wait for Xu Qi'an to speak, and hurriedly said, "B."

The silver gong was quite surprised and praised, "Not bad, not bad, the office needs young people with potential like this, and you will be the backbone of the night watchmen in the future."

The second half of the sentence was said to Xu Qi'an.

Xu Qi'an bowed respectfully and then explained his purpose: "Boss, I want to go to the case library."

He didn't know where the case library was, nor did he know the corresponding authority. "If you have any questions in the future, you can go directly to the clerk." Li Yuchun said. "Understood." Xu Qi'an left Chunfeng Hall.

The leader was chatting and gossiping, and as a subordinate, you can't interrupt unless it's urgent. This is still a bit discerning.

After catching a clerk and asking where the case library was, Xu Qi'an came to a large courtyard.

He handed the badge to the black-clad clerk, who took it, confirmed it, and returned it to Xu Qi'an, saying:

"The case library is divided into four areas, A, B, C, and D. Tongluo can only go to the D-room to check the case files."

Xu Qi'an pondered for a moment and asked, "How should I know which warehouse the information I want to check is in."

The black-clad clerk smiled respectfully and said, "Go to the 'D' warehouse."

"A, B, C, and D" are the four warehouses, and D is the grassroots and the largest, which conforms to the pyramid law.

The more confidential the documents, the fewer the number.

Xu Qi'an entered the "D" warehouse, came to the reception desk, and said, "I want to replace the information of the Taoist sect."

The clerk behind the reception desk flipped out a thick booklet, checked it for a long time, raised his head and said, "Sir, wait a moment."

He entered the case library.

After a while, the black-clothed official came out holding a scroll of books, and while reaching out to take Xu Qian'an's badge, he handed the book over.

Xu Qian'an said, "Bring me a cup of hot tea."

He turned around and went to the side hall with a table and read the Taoist materials.

The origin of Taoism comes from Daozun, whose age cannot be verified. It is said that Daozun was an ancient wonder who transformed into three pure beings in one breath, namely:

Yuanshi Tianzun; Daode Tianzun; Lingbao Tianzun.

It is in line with the three talents of heaven, earth and man.

This is the origin of the three sects of Taoism, "Heaven, Earth and Man".

Among them, the two sects of Heaven and Man are as hostile as fire and water, and both claim to be the orthodox of Taoism, and they wish to beat each other's brains out.

The Di Sect is the most bland, and the style of its disciples is very low-key, not competing for fame or profit. People who don't know this think that Taoism only has two sects of Heaven

and Man.

Salted fish makes people feel distressed.

"These days, the dispute over the orthodoxy is probably the biggest contradiction." Xu Qi'an

added silently in his heart: The queen is invincible in the world.

Continuing to read, he found that the "Earth Sect" was justified.

The Earth Sect worships the Lord of Morality and cultivates infinite merits. They travel

around the world, keep a low profile, do good deeds without leaving their names, and leave

when they get merits.

"Merit..." Xu Qi'an frowned and thought.

In a sense, merits and luck are the same. People often say: Do good deeds and accumulate

virtues, and good people will be rewarded.

Merit means blessing, and blessing and luck are the same thing.

So the old Taoist priest of the Earth Sect can see my specialness? Knowing that I am a lucky European emperor, he felt at ease to pass the hot potato to me... Damn, aren't you cultivating merits? Why do you do so many immoral things....

Xu Qi'an complained in his heart.

He started to associate his strange luck with this, is it also a kind of merit?

But the Xu family's ancestors for eighteen generations were all ordinary people, and only the second uncle's generation had a little improvement. The two brothers were still killers who used kitchen knives to cut electric wires, sparks and lightning all the way.

They didn't do much good, but they did kill a lot of people on the battlefield.

At this time, the administrator brewed hot tea and brought it over, chatting: "Are you checking the information of the Renzong?"

No, it's the Dizong...Xu Qi'an asked back: "Renzong?"

"Our national teacher is the current Taoist leader of the Renzong." The clerk said: "Sir Wei is

very displeased with the female Taoist leader."

Female Taoist leader...ah, that legendary stunning Taoist nun?

Xu Qi'an suddenly realized that he only knew that the current emperor was obsessed with practicing Taoism and longing for immortality. He appointed a Taoist nun who looked like a

fairy as the national teacher.

Unexpectedly, it was the Renzong!

The sorcerers of the Imperial Observatory, the Taoist sect, the night watchmen, the Confucian Yunlu Academy, the Dafeng military, the court civil service group... The capital is like a small

pond, but it is full of dragons.

No wonder "Nine" said that the people of the Tiandihui dare not enter the capital.

Taoist Master Jinlian: Come in and try.

Tiandihui killer: Try it and you will die.

Hahaha....Xu Qi'an raised his lips and said, "Find me some more information about the

"Heaven and Earth Society", um, and the Earth Book. Do you know the Earth Book? It's the

treasure of heaven and earth... Um, if I want to go to warehouses A, B, and C, what channel should I apply for it through?"

The clerk heard this and smiled, "Warehouses B and C correspond to the golden gong and the silver gong respectively. As for warehouse A, you need the handwriting of Duke Wei to enter. But the information about the Heaven and Earth Society and the Earth Book you are looking

for can be found in warehouse D."

Seeing Xu Qi'an was stunned, he explained, "The Heaven and Earth Society sounds like a gang organization, and the Earth Book is a legendary ancient magic weapon. Neither of them is a

confidential thing. I'll check the manual to see where it is."

After that, he went to the reception desk.

Xu Qi'an looked at his back and was stunned for a while before he understood.

He was trapped in a misconception, thinking that the more ancient things are, the more confidential they are, but it is not true. The older the things are, the less valuable they are... Well, it's not about whether they are valuable or not, antiques are still very valuable, but the

level of confidentiality.

The real secrets are things that are closely related to the present, such as military intelligence, border defense layout, gunpowder formula, siege equipment and shipbuilding drawings, etc. I believe that there will be an additional confidential file in the Jiazi warehouse in the future: "The Secret Book of Human-Beast Hybridization"

Authors: Song Qing; Xu Qi'an.

Soon, the clerk found the information related to the "Earth Book" and the Tiandihui.

Xu Qi'an couldn't wait to look through it. The Tiandihui was linked to his own safety, so he chose to understand this organization first.

There are thousands of organizations and sects in the world, and there is nothing special to

worry about.

They are all obedient and willing to obey the court's control when they operate some gray

income. Some of the Jianghu forces with particularly deep foundations don't buy into the

court's account.

But their existence also plays a role in stabilizing one side, and occasionally they will spontaneously suppress bandits.

Tiandihui is one of the inconspicuous underworld organizations.

The earliest record of it appeared sixty years ago, when Yunzhou suffered a severe drought

and refugees became bandits and plundered everywhere.

Natural and man-made disasters raged.

Local underworld forces joined forces with the imperial court to suppress bandits, and

Tiandihui was one of them.

"It looks like a chivalrous organization... Well, sometimes people who do good things are not necessarily good people, just like people who do charity may not be sincere in charity." It may also be for fame... Xu Qian'an drank a sip of tea and continued to read.

Tiandihui is not an active organization, but a semi-secret organization, and there are very

few related records.

Xu Qian'an didn't gain much after reading it.

"It's normal that there is no harvest. The fact that it can force the masters of the Earth Sect to

flee to the capital shows that it is a very large and powerful organization..."

"It is reasonable for such an organization to conceal the intelligence network of the night

watchman. Should I report it to Brother Chun and enrich the night watchman's case library?" "Uh... forget it for now."

He did not intend to report this matter to the government. Although this might bring him a credit, it could not be compared with five hundred taels of gold.

Anyone would be jealous of a treasure like the Earth Book. What if some Jin Luo took a fancy to

it and asked me to hand it over to the national treasury directly...

Xu Qian'an closed the book and opened the relevant information about the "Earth Book".

The Earth Book is an ancient treasure. Its origin cannot be verified. It is only known that it was left by the Taoist master whose birth time cannot be verified.

The information does not even mention the function of the Earth Book.

However, there is a note saying that such ancient treasures are mostly born from heaven and earth and cannot be refined by human power.

They have a common characteristic, that is, dripping blood to recognize the master. Dropping blood to recognize the master...Xu Qi'an thought to himself that I understand this

routine. After all the twists and turns, it turns out to be dripping blood to recognize the master.

The magic tools and the night watchman's gong given to him by Song Qing only need to be

infused with qi to use, without the concept of recognizing the master or not. They are essentially tools and can be used by anyone.

Xu Qi'an felt that dripping blood to recognize the master does not exist in this world.

He took out the small jade mirror in his arms and placed it on the table, unsheathed his sword two inches, and gently pressed the blade with his fingertips.

The bright red blood immediately oozed out, and Xu Qi'an wiped it on the surface of the small

jade mirror.

The blood stayed on the mirror for a few seconds, slowly disappeared, and was absorbed by

the mirror.

The next moment, the scene in front of Xu Qi'an began to blur, the booklet, the table, and the teacup were all fading, replaced by chaos.

In the hazy chaos, he saw eight light spots hanging in the chaotic world.

Do these eight light spots represent other mirrors? Including me, there are exactly nine

mirrors...Xu Qi'an looked around, trying to replace [Number Nine].

But he didn't know which light spot Number Nine belonged to.

Hmm... Just click on any one to add as a friend!

Xu Qi'an raised his hand and tried to point to the light spot closest to him.

The light spot suddenly rippled like water waves, and the ripples spread throughout the

chaotic world.

Xu Qi'an seemed to have had a dream. The scenery in front of him was restored. He was still in

the reception hall of the case library, with a booklet and a teacup in front of him, as well as the ordinary jade mirror.

But he knew it was not a dream, because after dripping blood to recognize the owner, the jade

mirror had a certain strange connection with him.

A mysterious sense of belonging.

At this time, a line of words slowly appeared in the mirror:

[Lu: Don't believe Number Nine, don't respond, don't respond, don't respond...]
