Chapter 397
397 The scapegoat (3)
After taking a shower, he and Fu Xiang rolled around on the bed. While they were being intimate, they suddenly heard a ” Click ” sound, followed by a sense of weightlessness.
The bed collapsed.
Fu Xiang screamed and wrapped her arms around Xu Qi ‘an. Her long, white, Python-like legs were wrapped around his waist. She was shocked.
……. Zhong Li, I’m going to return the goods to the director!
Xu Qi ‘an was furious.
………..
After leaving the yingmei Pavilion, Chu Yuanxi waved her sword fingers, and the long sword on her back seemed to come to life. It broke free from its restraints like a fish and stopped in front of him.
Chu Yuanqian stepped on the scabbard and said softly, “”Let’s go,” he said.
The long sword paused for a moment, then suddenly pierced through the night sky and soared up.
The moment she flew into the night sky, Chu Yuanyou felt that countless eyes in the capital were locked on her, but they soon moved away. Among them, the gaze that sent a chill down his spine came from the towering stargazing tower.
He quickly left the inner city and flew towards the South of the outer city.
If he remembered correctly, number six, Hengyuan, was in the Yangsheng Hall. He lowered his altitude and searched for a long time before he finally found the Yangsheng Hall in the South City.
Chu Yuanyou was not born and raised in the capital. She had been studying at the Imperial College and had been living in the inner city. He had never been to the outer city where the poor gathered.
He pressed down on the tip of the sword and gently landed in the courtyard of the health Hall. As he jumped off the scabbard, he heard a voice chanting the name of Buddha from under the eaves.
“Amitabha.”
Chu Yuanyang held the hilt of the sword and put it back into the sword bag on her back. She looked at the source of the sound and saw a monk in a simple blue robe standing in the darkness under the eaves. He had a burly figure, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a hard face.
“Master Hengyuan?” Chu Yuan greeted him with a smile.
“That’s me. Are you number four?” Hengyuan put his hands together and observed him quietly.
The two, who met for the first time, did not appear very calm. They were neither close nor distant. Hengyuan led Chu Yuanxi into the house, lit the oil lamp, and took out a jar of wine from under the bed. He found two porcelain bowls and simply wiped the dust with his sleeves.
Chu Yuanqian never said no to wine, but she was a little curious. “Buddhist disciples can drink?”
“A monk doesn’t care about meat or vegetables,” Hengyuan answered calmly.
There was a hidden meaning in this sentence:Monks didn’t need to follow the precepts.
“I saw number three today.”
Chu Yuanxi regretted not bringing peanuts. There was wine but no vegetables. She felt that something was missing.
Hengyuan nodded.
number three is pretending not to know me … With his intelligence, I believe he recognized me at that time. I don’t know why he pretended not to know me. ”
Chu Yuanqian shook her head helplessly and said, “”The cultivation of an eighth stage body cultivator is indeed a bit shallow.”
However, he knew number 3’s Secret. Number 3 was related to the sub-divine temple’s soaring clear air. He couldn’t simply look at number 3’s appearance.
Master Hengyuan took a sip of wine and said, “”Compared to number three, I hit it off better with Lord Xu. You might not know this, but he didn’t die in Yunzhou …” He said.
After No. 6 explained Xu Qi ‘an’s resurrection, Chu Yuanqian nodded. “Although the rebirth pill is good, it has too many restrictions. He was able to survive because of his own luck.
I just met Xu Qi ‘an at the Imperial Academy. I have a good impression of him. I think I’ve heard you guys discuss him too many times in the fragments of the book of the nether world. I don’t feel unfamiliar with him.
After a pause, number four smiled. I’ve never interacted with number three. But Xu Qi ‘an is really to my liking.
After drinking the wine in the jar, Chu Yuanyou proposed to see the child. After seeing him, she looked quite depressed.
“Although I don’t like Buddhism, they are right about one thing. The world is like a sea of bitterness, and all living beings struggle in it.” Chu Yuanqian said with emotion.
Master Hengyuan looked at him.
“No offense,” Chu Yuanxi hurriedly said.
Hengyuan then retracted his gaze.
“Three days later is the second round of the general examination. Let’s go together to see number three.” No. 3 is not willing to reveal his identity to us, ” Hengyuan said. he said that if we meet, we only need to smile.
“I see.” Chu Yuanqian suddenly realized.
………
Time flew by and three days passed.
At dawn, Xu Erlang arrived at the examination hall accompanied by his family.
“A ninth-grade scholar has an eidetic memory. This test is on the classics, so I think Erlang won’t feel any pressure,” Xu Qi ‘an patted his shoulder and encouraged him.
Second uncle and aunt Xu smiled.
According to Erlang himself, he did very well in the first day’s questioning. He was good at it, and the second round of Scripture was not a big problem.
In the eyes of his second uncle and aunt, Erlang’s promotion to a tribute soldier was already a certainty.
Xu niannian raised his chin slightly and said proudly, ” there are many talented students in the world. We can’t be careless. There is a possibility that they are stronger than me.
There might be … Xu Qian said,”you’re better at acting tough.”
After saying goodbye to his family, he walked to the entrance of the examination hall and was about to line up to enter the hall. At this moment, a loud and clear voice rang in his ear.”Amitabha.”
Xu nianxin turned his head and saw two people standing on the side of the street. One was a burly monk, and the other was a green-robed swordsman with a sword on his back.
The monk and the swordsman both smiled when they saw him looking at them.
……. Xu niannian’s face froze. He lowered his head and hurried back to his father and brother. He suddenly felt a sense of security.
“Father, big brother, I suspect that someone is plotting against me.” Xu nianxin said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Xu Pingzhi’s eyebrows immediately rose, and his eyes were like lightning.”Who is it?”
He was the Imperial saber guard who patrolled the city. He knew that a large number of Jianghu swordsmen had entered the capital recently, which was an extremely unstable factor for public security.
The most obvious thing was that there were more gentlemen on the Liang family. Those lowly people in the Jianghu had spent all their money in the capital and had no business to make money. Their first choice was to steal and Rob.
“A monk and a swordsman.” Xu xinnian turned around and pointed to somewhere behind him.
“Where is he?” Xu Qi ‘an looked at him for a moment and asked.
“???”
what? ” Xu xinnian looked frightened. he was there just now.
alright, you said you’re not stressed, but I think you’re hallucinating. Xu Qi ‘an patted his younger brother’s shoulder and said, ”
“Erlang, don’t bother with those strange people who you don’t know,”
As he said this, he put his hand behind Xu niannian’s back.
Xu Erlang looked behind him and asked in confusion, “”Big brother, what is the meaning of this?”
“It’s okay, I’ll help you take the blame.”
