Dafeng Night Watchman

Chapter 656 - 656 Daughter

As the box opened, the contents were revealed to everyone.

This was a torso, without legs, arms, or a head, but it was the most complete body of Shenshu that Xu Qi'an had ever seen.

It is worth mentioning that the crotch of this body was wrapped in an animal skin miniskirt, which reminded Xu Qi'an of the monkey with thunder mouth on TV.

"Why did you wake me up when the ten-year period has not yet arrived!"

The torso woke up, and it slowly "stood" up, hovering in front of everyone, and then restrained its breath.

"Master Shenshu, I opened the seal on the order of the queen, and I have something to ask for."

Ye Ji felt relieved and bowed as if relieved.

Shenshu's torso slowly turned half a circle, as if scanning the people in the cave, until it saw Xu Qi'an...

The two black beans on the chest suddenly cracked and turned into a pair of eyes. The terrifying breath spread again, and Ye Ji and the white ape retreated repeatedly, their faces pale.

"You have my breath on you, and part of my body is parasitic in you."

The trunk's breasts stared at him with burning eyes, and a thunderous sound came from its chest.

"That's a right arm!"

Xu Qiyan answered calmly. He did not feel strong hostility and malice from this trunk. .

This means that the other party's personality is "gentle", just like the right arm that is lodged in his body.

"Demon Sealing Nail..."

The Shenshu trunk looked at him and said, "You are the enemy of Buddhism? Well, that means you are my friend, with good cultivation, solid foundation, and a good warrior."

Drinking together......Xu Qiyan took a look at the bowl-sized scar on its neck and didn't know how to respond for a while.

But the personality is okay, a bit heroic, unlike the psychopath in the tower, who yelled to kill kill kill every day.

"Master, he is the helper invited by the Queen."

Ye Ji told Shen Shu's body about the deal between the two parties and said:

"Azuluo guards Nanfa Temple. He is so powerful that we cannot deal with him. Therefore, we would like to ask you to help him remove the magic nail in advance."

Shen Shu's body readily agreed: "No problem, but removing the magic nail will greatly reduce my strength. Afterwards, I need a batch of blood to replenish the loss."

Ye Ji nodded: "I understand."

The most abundant thing in the Ten Thousand Mountains is beasts. You can even surprise attack small towns and plunder the blood of those people in the Western Regions.

Xu Qian'an's heart moved and asked:

"Master, can you live in me? It's like a broken arm."

In this way, he can get the power of Shen Shu's body for free.

"No, you have a magic nail in your body, I can't live in it."

Shen Shu's body gave a negative answer.

So, there is really no way to find a loophole... Xu Qi'an shook his head in disappointment. It seems that he has to go to Asura himself.

"Which two magic nails can you remove, senior?"

The eyes stared at him for a moment, and laughed in his chest: "Those two are still on you."

Very good, I am indeed the son of luck. If it happens again this time, I will have to suspect that the luck in my body is fake... Xu Qi'an turned around and told everyone, "You leave the cave."

Then he looked at Shenshu's trunk: "Please help me remove the magic nails."

When Sun Xuanji, Ye Ji, and Yuan Hufa led the female demons out of the cave, a cyclone collapsed from the chest of Shenshu's trunk.

The cyclone rolled, causing a strong wind to blow in the cave, blowing Xu Qi'an's long hair wildly.

Crackling~

The cyclone jumped with golden arcs, illuminating the cave.

Zizi... Golden arcs shot out from the center of the cyclone and splashed on Xu Qi'an's lower abdomen, where the magic nail of the Ren Meridian was.

From the perspective of an observer, the golden arcs turned into long ropes, connecting Shenshu's torso and Xu Qi'an.

The cyclone turned faster and faster, and the suction force became stronger and stronger, driving the long rope formed by the golden arcs to tighten and pull the magic nail.

The Sanskrit sound echoed in Xu Qi'an's ears, and he knew that this was the mantra for unlocking the magic nail.

The first two times the magic nail was pulled out, Duqing Arhat and Shenshu's left arm both chanted mantras to assist.

Xu Qi'an secretly memorized it, but unfortunately after trying it, he found that chanting mantras alone could not unlock the magic nail.

As the magic nail was pulled out bit by bit, his face twitched violently, and beads of sweat rolled down like rain.

He tasted the pain of his flesh being torn apart again.

Puff......Accompanied by the sound of the Demon Sealing Nail detaching from the flesh and blood, the Qi in the Dantian surged out uncontrollably like a rising tide, and he couldn't help but spit it out.

Xu Qian'an shook his arms violently, "boom", the Qi raged in the cave, and the whole mountain shook violently.

Ye Ji, Sun Xuanji and others outside the cave clearly felt the ground shaking under their feet.

Huh~

The terrible wind rushed out along the corridor, "spraying" all the torches and gravel out of the corridor.

Sun Xuanji stretched out his right palm and gently pushed it forward.

A tortoise-shell formation composed of clear light stood in front of everyone, blocking the strong wind that could "blow" to death warriors below the sixth rank.

So strong.....The demons such as the Hongying Protector Qingmu Protector were secretly shocked.

In the cave, after this round of venting, Xu Qian'an calmed the Qi in the Dantian, followed by the power of recovery.

Bang!

He clenched his fists hard, as if he was grabbing the air.

"The richness of my Qi and the strength of my body have been greatly enhanced. The Qi from my dual cultivation with my aunt has finally found its place... Well, with my current strength, combined with my great Vajra magic, I can beat either Du Nan or Du Fan. I can be invincible even if I fight two against one."

After swallowing the blood of Shura Vajra Du Fan, his Vajra magic was perfected and he could fight Vajra alone.

Now he can beat Vajra.

"In terms of physical strength alone, I am not inferior to Asura, even if I am slightly inferior, the gap is not too big. After removing the other magic nail, my strength can be further improved. But Asura is also an Arhat, well, I am not without other means. It is no problem to entangle him."

Concentrating his thoughts, Xu Qiyan clasped his fists towards the much weaker Shenshu trunk and said:

"Please continue, senior."

Shenshu trunk followed the same method to remove the second magic nail for him. After Xu Qiyan calmed down his disordered qi, it praised:

"Your foundation is stronger than I thought. If all the magic nails are removed, your strength will be close to the great success. I think you are originally at this level."

It means that Xu Qiyan himself is a third-grade great success, but was sealed by the magic nail.

"Buddhism rarely uses the Demon Sealing Nail. You are not ordinary. Young man, have you been practicing martial arts for hundreds of years?"

Practicing for half a year......Xu Qiyan clasped his fists:

"At most, one and a half years."

Shenshu was silent for a moment, and slowly said: "Don't joke with me."

"Junior has no need to joke with you." Xu Qiyan said.

Shenshu's trunk became confused: "You are not lying, but this is impossible."

Xu Qiyan told the truth: "Junior is responsible for half of the national destiny of the Central Plains Dynasty."

Shenshu's trunk asked back: "Then?"

Do I need to say this...Xu Qiyan muttered in his heart, and said:

"People with great luck are blessed by nature and can become extraordinary and holy in a short period of time. Although it is exaggerated, it is nothing."

His current achievements are inseparable from his own talent, hard work, and the care of some elders.

Xu Qiyan attributed all his adventures to luck.

"I only know that those who get the Qi cannot live forever. Well, to be honest, it's the fate of the country. So there are no emperors who live forever in the world."

Shenshu paused, staring at him with his milky eyes:

"I have never heard that those who get the Qi can be promoted to extraordinary within a year and a half."

Xu Qiyan frowned and said:

"Maybe the national fate is different from personal Qiyan?"

Shenshu asked again:

"In this case, all emperors of all dynasties can enter the extraordinary within a year and a half. Why can't others do it, but you can?"

Xu Qiyan was stunned: "This, this..."

He subconsciously wanted to say that the Great Feng Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Wuzong were also like this.

But later he found something wrong, because although the two emperors were later promoted to the first rank, it was many, many years later.

And they started from the third rank.

He calmed down and clasped his fists and said:

"Junior doesn't know, I have something to ask you."

"Go ahead."

"The founding emperor of the Dafeng Dynasty in the Central Plains was in the third rank before he became emperor. After he became emperor, he achieved the first rank. A hundred years later, his grandson rebelled and usurped the throne, and the same thing happened." Xu Qian'an spoke very quickly:

"What's wrong with it?"

"Nothing is wrong, but why do you think they achieved the first rank because of good fortune?"

Shen Shu said: "Your understanding of good fortune is problematic, too one-sided. People with good fortune are different from ordinary people in every aspect.

"But in your eyes, it seems that if you have good fortune, you will definitely be able to step into the extraordinary realm, and your cultivation will definitely improve by leaps and bounds.

"Indeed, those who are blessed with good fortune will benefit from their cultivation and have good luck, but it will only play a supporting role, allowing you to avoid detours on the road of cultivation.

"But if you think that good fortune can make you extraordinary, or even the first rank, then you think too much about good fortune and take the first rank too lightly."

Xu Qian'an's pupils dilated slightly.

"You still have secrets to be discovered. Unfortunately, my memory is not complete, so I can't give too many opinions.

"But there are two questions to think about. One: Where did the national fortune come from? Two: How is your fortune different from those emperors who are also blessed with good fortune?"

The good fortune in me was infused by Xu Pingfeng. Unlike ordinary emperors, it has been refined?

Yes, Shen Shu is right. Xu Pingfeng has always been worried about the speed of my cultivation advancement.

Imagine if he knew that those who have luck are destined to become saints and achieve the first rank, with Xu Pingfeng's wisdom, why did he support the lineage five hundred years ago? Wouldn't it be better to support me directly?

A first-rank warrior is enough to sweep the Dafeng dungeon.

What does this mean? This means that he knows that luck can increase cultivation and bring constant adventures, but it is not to such an exaggerated extent.

So compared to a martial arts genius, Qianlong City's thousands of troops are more suitable for cooperation.

That is to say, luck does help me improve my cultivation, but there are other reasons why I have the cultivation I have today.

This reason should still be a matter of luck, but it is not just a matter of luck.

Xu Qiyan was silent for a long time, and slowly exhaled:

"Senior, do you know the inside story of the Buddha-Demon War five hundred years ago?"

"I forgot."

Shenshu's trunk said in a deep voice: "I only remember the time I spent with the king under the moonlight, it was wonderful."

The old tree spirit guessed correctly, Shenshu was really the mistress of the Queen of the Ten Thousand Demons? Xu Qiyan was shocked.

"Besides these? What else do you remember?"

He was answered by a long silence. After a long while, Shenshu's trunk slowly said:

"We have a child, a very cute little fox. She is the current leader of the Southern Demons..."

Fuck...Xu Qiyan hasn't cursed for a long time, this news is really too shocking.

The nine-tailed fox is the daughter of Shenshu? It's actually the daughter of Shenshu? !

But that's not right. Qingmu Protector said that the queen is a nine-tailed celestial fox with pure blood. How could she be the daughter of Shenshu?

No, Qingmu was just a little demon back then. No matter how senior he was, he was still a little demon. He might not know too many inside stories.

But Shenshu didn't have to lie to me.

Shenshu and the King of Ten Thousand Demons were old lovers and had a daughter. The Buddhist sect destroyed the Ten Thousand Demons, and Shenshu was a Buddhist. Shenshu and Buddha had a deal that no one knew about... Damn, it's terrifying to think about it!

Xu Qian'an's heart was pounding.

"Senior, do you still remember your identity?" She asked tentatively:

"I mean, your identity in the Buddhist sect."

"I... don't remember."

Shenshu's torso murmured: "I only remember the time I spent with her, and I only remember that it was Buddha who killed her. I can't remember anything else."

This may be the reason why he can be relatively gentle and not have so much negative energy... Xu Qian'an didn't ask any more questions.

......

On the canal, a three-masted warship.

After lunch, Xu Erlang sat at the desk, holding a pen, and wrote his first letter home seriously.

Auntie was afraid that her son would have an accident, so she asked him to write a letter home every two days.

"Mom, I feel a little uncomfortable living on the canal."

Writing this kind of vernacular letter also made Xu Erlang a little uncomfortable, but considering his parents' cultural level, such a letter was easy for them to understand.

"On the contrary, Lingyin likes to take a boat very much. She seems to have no weaknesses except that she is not smart enough.

"I heard from my colleagues that the situation in Qingzhou is very good. The imperial army has defeated the rebels step by step, so you don't have to worry. The child will be able to return triumphantly soon.

"Take good care of yourself in the capital, don't miss me, Lingyin will be fine with her elder brother.

"If you encounter trouble at home, remember to discuss it with Lingyue. Lingyue's wisdom is not even one-tenth of yours, but more people means more ideas.

"Lingyin was not wronged on the ship. The soldiers liked her very much and praised her for being worthy of being the eldest brother's sister. She was brave and brave, and she could hold the pass against ten thousand men."

Xu Erlang thought for a while, crossed out this line, and rewrote:

"She was praised for being worthy of being the eldest brother's sister. She was smart and intelligent. She would definitely be a well-educated and well-mannered lady in the future......"

After writing the letter, he blew the ink dry and stuffed the letter into the envelope.

At this time, two clear lights rose in the room, and Zhang Shen and Li Mubai, wearing Confucian robes and square scarves on their heads, suddenly appeared.

"Teacher, Mr. Mu Bai?"

Xu Xinnian was stunned, surprised and happy: "Why are you here?"

Zhang Shen stroked his beard and said:

"The situation in Qingzhou is not good. Yang Gong wrote to the dean for help. The dean asked Mu Bai and me to go to Qingzhou to serve as Yang Gong's staff."

The joy of reunion disappeared immediately, and Xu Xinnian said in a deep voice:

"What did Zi Yang say in the letter?"

Li Mu Bai said: "The first line of defense on the border of Qingzhou has been broken. Zi Qian ordered to clear the fields and gather refugees, and adopt a strategy of holding on and waiting for reinforcements."

Xu Xinnian immediately unfolded the map of Qingzhou, examined it for a moment, and said:

"This plan is very good."

Qingzhou is thousands of miles long and wide, with enough strategic depth, and it is not meaningful to defend the border.

And the Dafeng defenders, who occupy the advantage of the terrain, are also the right choice to clear the fields and hold the city.

Zhang Shen shook his head and sighed:

"Don't forget that the monks from the Western Regions have not yet entered the battlefield. If it goes as expected, the Buddhist sect will send a large army to the palace, Leizhou and other places in the near future to contain the court and force the court to fight on two fronts.

"At that time, Qingzhou will face the situation of "being alone."

Li Mubai added: "In addition, refugees and bandits are everywhere, the internal situation is unstable, and the situation is worrying. Ziqian had already expected this step, and he had been thinking hard about countermeasures to no avail, so he wrote a letter to the dean for help. "

Xu Xinnian's expression darkened.

........

At dusk, the sun set in the west.

Wan Yao Mountain is the core area of ​​the Ten Thousand Mountains in Southern Xinjiang. The mountain is not high, but it is extremely majestic, like a giant lying on its side, stretching for dozens of miles.

And this is only the main peak.

As one of the blessed places in Southern Xinjiang, Wan Yao Mountain is full of spiritual energy and has bred generations of demons.

Today, the number of demons in the mountain is still huge, but with the passage of time, they have changed from masters to slaves.

Buddhism ruled here.

Nanfa Temple was built on the top of the mountain. It is the southern The tallest building in the country.

After the Buddhist sect occupied the Wan Yao Mountain, they built a magnificent city by cutting down trees and clearing roads.

Xu Qian'an, wearing a cloak, walked on the streets of the "Southern Country" city, with Ye Ji, Sun Xuanji and Miao Youfang beside him.

They all wore the same cloak.

"Squeak..."

The sharp monkey cry attracted Xu Qian'an's attention.

Someone was performing monkey shows on the street. A yellow-haired little monkey bowed to everyone and asked for money. If the passers-by didn't give it, it would somersault, make faces, or kneel down and kowtow.

"They are all little demons who have not yet transformed."

Xu Qian'an took out a piece of silver and threw it over. The yellow-haired little monkey picked up the silver, kowtowed and knelt, and his forehead banged.

Ye Ji's eyes showed sadness:

"Because the little demons who have not yet transformed are the easiest to control. "

There are two types of demons. One is the beasts that have awakened, and through self-cultivation, they gradually become great demons.

The offspring they reproduce are born demons, just like humans. As they grow older, they will naturally become enlightened. This is another type of demon.

The demons in Wan Yao Mountain are basically the offspring of the great demons of the past.

Although they are beasts, they have extremely high wisdom.

Bai Ji is an example.

"There should be demons that have transformed." Miao Youfang asked.

"Of course there are, but the number is rare. Most of them are slaves in Buddhist temples or mounts. Or, they are controlled by dignitaries in the city."

Ye Ji said: "The dignitaries in the Western Regions raise transformed demons, usually as war slaves, and there are very few exceptions."

"Very few exceptions?"

Miao Youfang asked.

Ye Ji sneered: "For example, beautiful demon women will become their playthings, and this is still a good treatment. Those with poor treatment will be sent to the army...."

She didn't say anything more, but Miao Youfang could guess it.

He was silent for a while.

........,

On the pagoda of Nanfa Temple, the tall and burly Asura stood on the top of the tower, overlooking the magnificent city under the night sky.

At a certain moment, he retracted his gaze and looked at the shadow under the tower.

A figure wearing a cloak and a hood appeared there silently.
