Cross the river pawn

Qi Xuansu took advantage of the drunkenness, stepped on the cotton, and relied on his memory to stagger out of Taiqing Square. When it was almost dawn, he finally arrived at Haichanfang.

Fortunately, Yujing does not implement the city system, there is no curfew, and the gates will not be closed, allowing Qi Xuansu to enter Haichanfang smoothly. Fortunately, he did not encounter the patrolling officer, otherwise he would have to be interrogated. Fan.

When the night receded, the sky turned into dark blue, and a touch of fish belly white appeared at the end of the sky, Qi Xuansu finally saw a stone tablet.

The moment he saw the stone tablet, many memories from the past flooded into Qi Xuansu's mind, making Qi Xuansu, who was still a little drunk, have the illusion that he didn't know the past and the present.

It seems that he has returned to many years ago, when he was just an ordinary Taoist priest who was not familiar with the world. The escape, revenge, and peace meeting were just a big dream.

Qi Xuansu stood there and calmed down.

That kind of trancelike illusion receded like the tide, the past became the past, and the present is still the present.

Then he walked towards the stone monument.

The stone tablet was erected when Haichanfang was originally built. It is considered an ancient relic and records the origin and history of the square. Next to the stone tablet is the entrance to a quiet alley. It is not too wide, and it is not as expensive as Nanhuafang. Therefore, the alley is full of single-family courtyards.

This alley was a dead end and did not lead to other streets. Qi Xuansu walked all the way to the deepest part of the alley, where there was a dilapidated courtyard. The door was tightly closed, and most of the door god on the door fell off and was swaying in the wind.

Qi Xuansu looked at the door god on the door and remembered the past time when he saw his master posting the door god. At that time, he asked his master, does the master who can subdue monsters and catch ghosts still use the door god?Besides, what kind of monsters dare to run wild in Yujing City?Master just smiled and said two words, custom.

Qi Xuansu stepped forward and stretched out his hand to smooth the door god that was about to fall off. However, when he let go of his hand, the door god began to sway with the wind again, as if the past could not be recalled, let alone irreversible.

Qi Xuansu stopped insisting and took out the key he had carried with him for so many years from his bag, unlocked the door and walked into the yard.

There is a sycamore tree in the yard, where Master used to enjoy the shade.

Now the yard is covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, some of which have even turned into mud.

Qi Xuansu walked on it, and the dead leaves made an overwhelming sound of breaking.

When passing by the sycamore tree, Qi Xuansu stopped for a moment, and then went straight to his room.

Somewhat to Qi Xuansu's surprise, except for being covered in dust, everything in his room was still the same as before. It seemed that no one had been there.But then he thought about it, and it was reasonable. After all, the master died in a vendetta, not here.

Yujing City is right under Beichen Hall's nose, and no one is so stubborn that they dare to kill people in Yujing City.

If you want to take action, you can only choose to do it outside the city.

Qi Xuansu was ambushed on his way back to Yujing following his master. Master was the main target of those people and was surrounded by everyone.

As for Qi Xuansu, he was not even an innate person at that time, and no one cared about him at all.

Qi Xuansu slowly closed his eyes. What happened that day would be something he would never forget.

The master was injured and covered in blood, but he still managed to break out of the encirclement. Then he grabbed him by the back of his collar, threw him out, and shouted at him to run away, his voice like rolling thunder.

At that time, Qi Xuansu was a young boy who had never even seen blood, and was not a member of the Qingping Society who killed more than ten Qingluan guards without changing his expression. He was so frightened that he turned around and ran away subconsciously.

He ran with all his strength, and all he could hear was his heavy breathing and heartbeat.

The assassins who were lying in ambush didn't pay much attention to this little guy, and just sent one person to chase him.

That person is an innate person. If you kill an acquired person who is in the stage of holding pills, you can easily capture him.

However, he did not kill him with one blow, but rather like a cat playing with a mouse, he drove Qi Xuansu away who was in a panic.

It wasn't until Qi Xuansu was exhausted and couldn't run anymore that the assassin planned to finish off the little guy completely.

Qi Xuansu lay on the ground and wanted to resist, but he didn't even have the strength to draw the sword, and his eyesight went black. He could only watch helplessly as the assassin stabbed his chest with the long knife in his hand.

Just before he passed out, the assassin who was about to draw his sword could not move.

The assassin slowly lowered his head.

I saw a hand knife piercing his entire chest from the back.

It was a woman's hand, white and delicate, but extremely sharp.

Then a head popped out from behind the assassin, with a face like a full moon and still charming charm.

Qiniang appeared in Qi Xuansu's world for the first time in this stunning way.Everything happened next. Qiniang took away Qi Xuansu who had passed out. Because Qi Xuansu was seriously injured and on the verge of death at that time, Qingpinghui transformed Qi Xuansu's body, which not only saved his life, but also made him His body became extremely tough, which is why Zhuge Yongming didn't kill him with two punches.

After Qi Xuansu woke up, he begged Qiniang to save the master, but Qiniang brought back the master's body.

So Qi Xuansu determined to take revenge.

Qiniang often said: "Qingpinghui has great magical powers, Qingpinghui is omnipotent."

For Qi Xuansu, the Qingping Society was indeed like this.

Qingpinghui can realize a wish of the "destined person", but the price is that the body and mind of the "destined person" will be sold to Qingpinghui.

Qi Xuansu, who was in a coma and had his body transformed by the Qingping Society, was the "destined person".

Qi Xuansu, who was full of revenge at that time, sold himself to Qingpinghui without hesitation.

Qingpinghui quickly found out the details of Qi Xuansu's enemy. His name was Shen Yuxi. He was born in the Shen family of Taiping Road. He was neither a direct lineage nor a remote branch. His status in the clan was neither high nor low. He was involved in Without being involved in the core affairs of the family, he can only manage his own business and power through the family's brand name.

Three years ago, Shen Yuxi had a conflict with Qi Xuansu's master due to official business, and he always held a grudge. So he took advantage of Qi Xuansu's master and apprentice to leave Yujing and hired murderers.The assassin hired came from another secret society, the "Inn".

Then Qingpinghui created an opportunity for Qi Xuansu to kill his enemy with his own hands, and Qiniang was responsible for the aftermath.

Qi Xuansu remembered clearly that it was in a courtyard in Jinling Mansion. Shen Yuxi was already very drunk. The wine contained Qingpinghui's special Qi-dispersing drug. He could not perform [-]% of his cultivation, and he was in the possession of an oiran. Tossing for half a night - the reason why he was so careless was because he felt that no one knew his whereabouts, and he was surrounded by his bodyguards.

But Shen Yuxi didn't know that those guards were already unconscious, and his whereabouts had been known by the Qingping Society a month ago.

In this way, Qi Xuansu came to Shen Yuxi's bedroom with a sword. Although Shen Yuxi woke up at the last moment and kicked Qi Xuansu on the chest, Qi Xuansu, who had experienced the transformation of the Qingping Society, resisted the kick and then kicked him. The sword pierced Shen Yuxi's chest, completely smashing his heart and lungs.

This was the first time in Qi Xuansu's life that he had killed an enemy with his own hands.

Qi Xuansu didn't expect that his revenge would be so straightforward. He didn't have to wait ten years, or even ten months.

Then Qi Xuansu quickly fled the court amidst the screams of the oiran.

From the beginning to the end, Shen Yuxi's relatives and friends did not know who killed Shen Yuxi. They thought it was a murder because Shen Yuxi's belongings were looted. In addition to official tickets, there were also several spiritual objects with a total value of approximately Three thousand peace money.

To this day, Qi Xuansu still believes that Qi Niang, who was responsible for the aftermath, took the opportunity to make money. Qi Niang denied it, accused Qi Xuansu of spewing blood, and refused to give Qi Xuansu half of the peace money.

Shen Yuxi's relatives and friends reported the matter to Beichen Hall. After Beichen Hall sent people to investigate, they located the Qingping Society, a secret society. , Qingpinghui simply took the blame, and no one would think of that little fish that slipped through the net. After all, with Shen Yuxi's character, there are many enemies. There are not a dozen enemies like Qi Xuansu, but seven or eight .

In this way, Qingpinghui fulfilled Qi Xuansu's wish perfectly, and Qi Xuansu began to work for Qingpinghui until today.

This is a deal. Qi Xuansu is a debtor. If he wants to pay off his debts and leave the Qingping Society, he must collect nine thousand meritorious deeds. Now he only has six hundred meritorious deeds, which is not even ten percent.

Qi Xuansu recovered from his past thoughts and went to the courtyard to get water.

Because Yujing is located at the top of Kunlun and cannot drill wells, the water in the city comes from mountain snow water, which is then sent to Yujing City through pipes and canals. It is not known whether the snow water can enter Yujing City because of the agency or the formation. The merits of the law.

Qi Xuansu had heard some information that was not considered insider information. It was said that the Taoist sect was divided into two groups regarding the future development direction. One group advocated focusing on mechanical mechanisms, while the other advocated focusing on the talisman formation. The two groups argued endlessly.

For example, the Tianji Wheel that Qi Xuansu saw on Taiping Mountain was the handiwork of the government organization.The flying boat flying in the clouds and mist is the work of the formation school.

This has caused the development of the world to become very strange and fragmented, as if it were a painting. The left side is Western realistic oil painting, and the right side is Eastern freehand ink painting. Although both are paintings, their painting styles are completely different.

The same is true when it extends to the entire world.

Some people have begun to use fire blunderbuss to kill people, while others still insist on using crossbows.The men in black began to equip breech-loading rifled artillery and explosive shells on a large scale, but the cavalry was still a weapon on the battlefield, because the armor blessed by the talisman could remain undamaged as long as it was not hit head-on by the artillery.The Taoist sect used the bones of dragons to create flying boats that went up to the sky and into the earth, and the imperial navy was also equipped with warships made of iron armor to travel across the seas.

At the same time, the two sides also have overlapping cooperation, such as the "Dragon Hand Cannon", which is considered a masterpiece of the machine school. The equipped fixed ammunition is also engraved with talismans used to break the body's protective aura.

The list goes on and on.

I really don’t know which faction can finally gain the upper hand and win, or whether both sides will continue to coexist like this and eventually merge into one.

However, these have little to do with Qi Xuansu, a little person. He is only a seventh-grade Taoist priest and cannot participate in the Taoist decision-making.

After Qi Xuansu received the water, he cleaned his room first, then boiled a pot of water, and ate all the cakes from the wedding banquet with plain water.

He then fell on his bed and fell asleep while taking advantage of the last lingering linger of the wine.
