Before she encountered the monks of the Fallen Contemporary, in the minds of the top clans like Pei Yunqi, the monks of the Fallen Contemporary were indeed powerful, but they were just a little annoying like weeds that could not be cut. Her inherent impression of the monks of the Fallen Contemporary was that these people were just mice moving in the sewer.
But the Fallen Contemporary monk who assassinated Qi Yu that night completely changed her cognition.
If Gu Shiwu hadn't been able to eat the fallen monk, Qi Yu and Qin Xiang, and even watching the fun, would have died.
She intuition that even Peng Qingshan and Li Xizhi were useless.
The true qi cultivation of the Fallen Confucian monk may not be stronger than that of Li Xizhi, but if he really fights life and death, even if the Fallen Confucian monk dies, they will probably all die.
Weird true qi, super perception and body control ability, inner armor similar to the mysterious armor, and the Gu insect that cannot even resist the true qi...
In addition, there are endless conspiracies and tricks from people like Xie Wan.
She only felt that her understanding of the monks of the Depravity was too shallow.
This time, Songxi Academy and Qianxin Academy sorted out all the books about practices recorded in the Sui Dynasty, and the records about the view of depravity once again refreshed her horizons.
At least three generals from Youzhou origin clearly pointed out that even if the practitioners of the Sui Dynasty did not rely on methods such as poison, they just used swords to kill the enemy, and all practitioners of the same realm were invincible.
Especially the eight-level practitioners of the nameless Taoist temple, in a big battle, once defeated three eight-level practitioners in a row with one person!
The difference between the supernatural powers formed by the True Qi Method is too big.
Although the notes of these three generals all started with their own perspectives, they all felt that if the Sui Dynasty had not been dragged by the nameless Taoist temple, the big broken ship in the storm would have sank four or five years ago.
The Li family hoarded heavy troops and launched several key battles, at least two of which were caused by the monks of the nameless Taoist temple, and the key cities were not conquered.
From this we infer that the true qi method of the true qi method of the true qi disciples of the Fallen View is not a little more powerful than the true qi method in the hands of these clans now.
Xie Wan's true qi method is already extremely strange. The natal Gu combined with true qi not only looks like an independent living creature, which can greatly stimulate his perception and potential, but also make his emotions in a crazy state, fighting or practicing in a crazy state.
Xie Wan was just a hidden Taoist son, and there were also veterans of the Depravity View on it.
The methods that these elders and the last Daozi selected were definitely better than those of him, the hidden Daozi.
Who can resist the practice of the monks who truly inherited the depravity of Taoism?
No practitioner can refuse this kind of supreme method in the world, just as few people in the world can refuse to be emperors.
...
The carriages of An Zhilu and Xu Tui drove into Youzhou City in the evening.
Hua Cangming, who was bizarrely ill before, personally led the crowd outside the city to greet him.
After all, after the promotion order came, although Xu Tuibei and his official rank were the same, Xu Tuibei had the power of supervision, which was used by Chang'an to supervise the Youzhou military.
"All of Gu Shiwu's brothers, I won't say polite words."
But after meeting, Xu Tui's first sentence completely dispelled his concerns.
Before this, Hua Cangming also had a certain understanding of Xu Tuibei through some old soldiers here, and knew that this person was capable and would not play with vain.
So he was not polite and asked Xu Tuibei directly if there was anything that needed special care when he had just come to Youzhou.
Xu Tuibei was silent for a while and made two requests, "Help me find two women, so that some people can think that I have been holding it outside the pass for too long and have made some quirks. Also, to help this kid become a military citizen, he is an orphan, and the fifth prince recommended it to me to do things, and he is also a cultivator, so he should be qualified."
The boy he was talking about was naturally An Zhilu who was following him.
"Fifth Prince?"
When Hua Cangming heard this word, he felt that not to mention a practitioner, even if he had broken hands and feet, he could at least become a military citizen.
It was only then that An Zhilu realized that the letter of recommendation that had been soaked was actually written by the fifth prince.
But at this time, he also realized that the fifth prince was a noble person who exceeded his imagination, but Gu Shiwu, who often sent people to contact Xu Tuibei along the way, was also a person who exceeded his imagination.
"Have you ever played with a woman?"
Xu Tui walked to the house arranged by the Youzhou official family. After settling down, he asked An Zhilu, who was thinking about things with his head down.
An Zhilu nodded and said, "I have played with it, and I have been there twice. I think it's expensive, so I haven't been there since then."
Xu Tuibei smiled, "Take you tonight? You don't have to pay."
An Zhilu shook her head, "The girl she got along at that time was bought by a Hu Shang."
"Boy, just play in that kind of place, don't get seasick easily." Xu Tuibei laughed.
Seeing that An Zhilu was really not moved, he didn't force himself, "Then you can do whatever you want, you can live here and help me see the yard. If you have another place to live, you can do it yourself."
In fact, he didn't think An Zhilu would have fun with him at first.
Although this little fat man named An Zhilu, he has a wolfish nature in his bones.
Especially when he was teaching him the method of practice on the road, Xu Tuibei felt that An Zhilu was like a hungry wolf who would bite his bones desperately at the sight of him, and would never let go even if he beat him to death.
The kind of wolf that looks fat and strong on the wasteland is actually not scary.
The most terrifying thing is the kind of hungry wolf that can bite you a piece of meat even if you die.
An Zhilu has no family background or connections when fighting against orphans, and doesn’t even have a lot of extra copper coins on hand. It’s really difficult to get some powerful methods of practice.
So he was also very ruthless in his study and practice.
After observing him for a few hours, Xu Tuibei felt that this person's cultivation level was definitely not slow.
It's a good material.
But Xu Tuibei didn't know that An Zhilu's cultivation speed was much slower than usual.
Because he was distracted.
What practitioners pursue is naturally stronger and stronger.
But even though Xu Tuibei taught him that the true qi method was much stronger than the method he had practiced before, he was so powerful that he was still easily forced to jump off the cliff and pretend to die.
On the way back to Youzhou, he also learned about some of Xie Wan's affairs from Xu Tuibei. According to the news circulating in Youzhou City before, Xie Wan was a monk of the Degenerate View.
That day, he took a great risk to send a sword to Qi Yu, so he was recommended by the fifth prince.
Afterwards, he hid in the distance and saw Qi Yu and Qin Xiang fighting the monk of the Fallen Temple.
Of course he knew how strong Qi Yu was.
The Hu woman named Qinxiang has various powerful methods that he has never heard of.
Xu Tui's true qi method may be very powerful, but Qin Xiang's methods of fighting against the enemy are not something Xu Tui Bi can do.
But even so, Qi Yu and Na Qinxiang joined forces, but they were still no match for the Fallen Contemplative monk.
Whether it is Gu, poison, or other means.
Being able to kill is a good means.
After seeing the strange appearance of the Fallen Shrine monk, and seeing his gourd poison that he could easily defeat such a practitioner, he often dreamed that he was standing on the battlefield where his father died in battle.
He just thought that if his father had some such poisons in his hands at that time, they would not have died at the hands of the Khitans.
Looking at Xu Tuibei's back as he laughed out loud, he thought of what Xu Tuibei said when he stood by the cliff, "This is the thing in this world. If you want to do it, you must do it thoroughly, or you don't even step on this path."
"Real glory and wealth, the world's best scenery, will not fall on you because of speculation and tricks. If you want to bet on your life with others, you just want to see if they have such courage! If you dare not do it, then you will not win if you give you a chance."
Not finished.
Nothing made up.
As soon as he thought of this, he stopped hesitating and then left the door.
He now follows Xu Tuibei, with a military supervision waist card, and he doesn't have to worry about a curfew when walking in the dark.
...
An Zhiluzhi reached the Yongning Cultivation Center in Ruolifang, looking at the servants in green clothes standing at the door from afar, he rarely smiled.
"Brother Zhilu!"
A large group of servants in green clothes ran over the moment they saw him, even more enthusiastic than welcoming any noble person.
"Where is An Gui?"
Before these servants in green clothes could speak, An Zhilu had already taken out a purse from her arms and stuffed it into one of them, "Give you a good meal."
"An Gui was asked to do business by a noble man, and he was lucky."
The young servant in green was not polite, and took his money bag and stuffed it into his arms, and said softly: "It is Brother Zhilu that day, when you compete with Guanshanke, you made a heavy bet on the two nobles you won. They probably thought An Gui was serving him well, and the woman asked him to do some chores, and it is said that he might have to follow him to Chang'an in the future."
"This is more than just good luck, I'm simply hit by a mountain of gold."
An Zhilu smiled and patted the servant in green on the shoulder, "Is Manager Zheng here?"
The young servant in green smiled and shook his head, "I haven't seen anyone today. Brother Zhilu, do you have something to look for him? If you want to find him, let Xiaoshi go and find him. Anyway, Xiaoshi and the others are resting today, and they are empty."
"That's not necessary. I just told the shopkeeper that I am now military and I am working under the new supervisor Xu." An Zhilu explained: "You know very well how Manager Zheng takes care of us. When I went to join General Xu before, Manager Zheng also told me that no matter whether it was successful or not, I would at least give him a letter. If I really can't make it outside, I'd better go back to this Yongning Cultivation Office."
"Brother Zhilu, are you a military citizen?" A group of servants in green cheered, "That's a good celebration."
The servant in green who had picked up the money bag was even more surprised and said, "Brother Zhilu, you can be reliable in any way you do things. How could you not be able to make it work?"
"Don't be proud of yourself. Life is still long. Don't forget what I said. We are all brothers and sisters." An Zhilu narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "I haven't made any name yet. When I make some name, none of you will escape. Then you will have to become a military citizen."
"Then we all have to prepare to get some effective staff for Manager Zheng first." Several servants in green cheered.
In their opinion, An Zhilu had to talk about this matter as long as he said that he had not made a name for himself, but according to their understanding, it was estimated that this matter would be accomplished in a short time.
"I live in Liyu Hutong now. If you have any questions, go there. Enter the fifth yard in the alley."
An Zhilu returned to her usual appearance as she was not as dewy as she was. She lowered her head slightly and looked at the servant in Qingyi who had taken the money bag. "Qingniu, An Gui is not here. You should take the lead here first. After we, the group of people, after completing the work of these three cultivation centers, you can arrange one or two to wait for me. If I have something to do, I can find someone at any time."
"No problem. At worst, we can raise money and find a small place nearby to live directly. Then I will arrange for people there to always be someone there."
The servant in Qingyi who took the money bag was called Zhang Qingniu. He was very active in his work. After happily agreeing, he saw An Zhilu wave his hand and about to leave. He suddenly thought of something and said softly: "Brother Zhilu, last night, at least a dozen noble people in the city were robbed. It was said that it was done by people from the Headless Bodhisattva Temple. But after we found out, it was not like that. The most bizarre thing was that those people returned the robbery back in the early morning. Later, when the officials went to ask one by one, no noble person admitted that they were robbed at home."
An Zhilu's expression changed at all, and she just said softly: "This is a matter between noble people. Those people dare not admit it because they are afraid that those who stole their things will get some evidence. If they say they are robbed from their homes, they will not be able to bear the responsibility."
Zhang Qingniu nodded and lowered his voice, "In addition to these noble people, some ordinary families have also been robbed. Other families are not weird. Do you know Ding Wang from Xiangchunyi? That guy was very angry. He used our people to help him do things, but later he only paid 70% of the salary."
"Of course I remember this person, and I will inevitably cause trouble for him at that time." An Zhilu whispered: "What the hell is it that you mentioned this person specifically?"
"I heard from Jian Laoliu that this man sneaked up with a bag of things to his favorite place on the night before."
Zhang Qingniu looked at the left and right, except for the group of servants in green, and no one noticed it. Then he said softly: "I sent off my things the night before, and I was robbed last night. The other families we inquired about were robbed. Although the big people in the family didn't admit it, they seemed to be very frightened, but this person seemed a little proud. Brother Zhilu, do you think there is any mystery in this bag of things?"
"You pretend not to know first, don't do anything, wait until I find out." An Zhilu had already had a scheming in her heart, but she was calm on her face.
He didn't show any interest either. After waving his hand, he went straight back to the small courtyard where Xu Tuibei was.
Shortly after walking back to the yard, I was still thinking, but the sound of horse hooves sounded in the quiet alleyway.
The sound of horse hooves stopped outside his yard. He walked into the yard, but heard An Gui's voice sounding at the door, "Brother Zhilu?"
"Agui, why are you here?" An Zhilu screamed in surprise.
"I happened to go back to Yongning Cultivation Center, and I was with you. I heard that you had found me and I was fine at this time, so I came to find you." An Gui entered the door and looked at An Zhilu with joy on his face. He didn't have such joy during the Chinese New Year. "Brother Zhilu, it is said that you have become an official, and you have really made it."
"The official with a big sesame is just a military official. Just look at General Xu in the yard and do chores." An Zhilu also had a little bit of young vitality in front of An Gui. He patted An Gui on the shoulder and smiled, "The generals of the border army are not as good as the doorman of the official in Chang'an City. If you want to make it through, you will really make it through. I want to go to Chang'an to do business at that time, maybe I have to rely on you."
"Brother Zhilu, you can stand out everywhere." An Gui said sincerely, "If you get this opportunity, you will definitely soar into the sky."
As soon as he finished speaking, An Gui's stomach started to scream.
This sound is too familiar to An Gui and An Zhilu, the orphans.
"Brother Zhilu, do you have anything to fill your stomach here?" An Gui was not polite in front of An Zhilu: "I was busy all night and I have been there until now. I just took the time to eat two cakes and didn't even drink hot soup."
"Why are you so busy?" An Zhilu greeted An Gui into the house, and Xu Tuibei had a lot of marinated meat in the courtyard. He originally steamed a piece on the stove and also a cake mixed with pepper sent by Hua Cangming. This was also delicious enough for An Gui to eat.
"I am now working chores under Pei Yunqian, the second lady of Pei family." An Gui was used to it. He first made tea for himself and An Zhilu, and then started eating pancakes and cured meat. He was eating and drinking while talking, and he couldn't even get busy with his mouth. "Last night, Miss Pei Er went to Songxi Academy to work all night, and I was also busy all night, helping to drive a carriage to pick up and drop off students from Songxi Academy and Qianxin Academy."
An Zhilu lowered her eyelids as soon as she heard this and said solemnly: "Agui, you must be careful in your words and actions in the future. Miss Pei Er is a person at the forefront of the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention her every move will cause so many storms, even her whereabouts. She doesn't know how many people are staring at her jokes. You must not reveal a little bit in the future. Moreover, you cannot even speak easily when you are in her hands. If you do things under her hands, your future will be bright, but it is also very dangerous. You must keep your mouth shut."
"Brother Zhilu, look at what you said. We have been working in Yongning Xiu for so many years, aren't this some strength yet?" An Gui laughed and picked a piece of fat cured meat, and his mouth was so oily. "I just told Brother Zhilu that even if I hide it from everyone in the world, can I still hide it from Brother Zhilu? Our brothers, Brother Zhilu, you are very capable and have a stricter mouth than everyone else. Unlike A Niu and the others, I dare not reveal any of them."
"They usually don't have a regular shape, so they have not encountered serious major events. When they encounter such things, they have a sense of their qualities." An Zhilu himself also pulled a piece of cake mixed with pepper and ate it slowly. Seeing that An Gui was probably not enough to eat the cured meat alone, he got up and washed a piece of cured meat to steam it on the stove, and added some dry firewood to the stove. Then he continued to talk to An Gui, "In the future, they should do a lot of things that are easy to lose their heads with us, and their mouths will naturally be tight."
When An Gui saw that An Zhilu didn't touch any cured meat, there was a little mist rising in his eyes, "Brother Zhilu, we all understand it very much even if you are kind to us."
"They are all brothers who have finally survived together, and they say what they did." An Zhilu smiled and said, "You tell me, why did Miss Pei Er go to Songxi Academy to do it? Do you want to pick some people to take it back to Chang'an for use?"
An Gui's expression became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Actually not. I didn't ask, but I heard some of their conversations when picking up and dropping off the students. In addition, I knew something about what they did. You probably heard about what happened last night. In fact, the thieves entered the mansions of the nobles to rob, and the things that happened before were big. Someone used the arrows of the storm that were only available in the Chang'an Palace in the city. The fifth prince was also in the city. It was probably someone who framed the fifth prince."
"You dare to openly use the Fierce Arrow in Youzhou City?" An Zhilu immediately felt that although Zhang Qingniu was doing a good job, he was sometimes much worse than An Gui. "Agui, do you know that the fifth prince recommended me? It was the young hero who watched the sword on the top floor of Yongning Club that day."
"That person is actually the fifth prince!" An Gui was shocked, "Then the fifth prince is kind to you, Brother Zhilu, and you are considered your own person."
"We naturally have to take this kindness to heart." An Zhilu's hands intertwined with her fingers, slowly moving her fingers, thinking: "But this method of frame-up is too vulgar, so the emperor of Chang'an should not be stupid."
An Gui nodded and said, "Those students said the same when they secretly discussed it, but two smart students said that the emperor was particularly good at following the flow. He felt very clear in his heart, but whether he believed or not on the surface depends on who he wanted to do. So whether the fifth prince had anything to do with the storm arrow was naturally clear in his heart, but if he had been unhappy about the fifth prince, if the fifth prince wanted to keep the head, he had to present some evidence first and then talk about it."
An Zhilu said a little enviously: "These people read a lot of books, and they are indeed insightful. An Gui, you have average talent in practicing and your life will be better in the future, so you should read more books as well."
An Gui nodded, An Zhilu raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Why did Miss Pei Er go to Songxi Academy last night because of the Fifth Prince?"
"It should be." An Gui said: "The students also seem to be searching for and analyzing some evidence. Some of their leaders are still discussing what aspects can they start from."
"The two academies are quite famous, and they are said to have been taken care of by Mrs. Zou." An Zhilu breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that Miss Pei Er and the fifth prince have received the care of Mrs. Zou. The fifth prince should not have anything to do this time."
An Gui picked a piece of meat and put it on An Zhilu's cake. He then poured out the bowl of cold tea that An Zhilu hadn't drunk and replaced it with hot. Then he asked seriously, "Brother Zhilu, you went to Yongning Xiu's place to find me as soon as you came back, but what's the important thing?"
“The view of depravity.”
An Zhilu took a deep breath. Even though there was no one around the courtyard, he still suppressed his voice very low. "I am very interested in this view of depravity. We are not saying that we should join the view of depravity, but we want to explore what methods they used to cultivate so strongly."
An Gui knew as soon as he heard this, An Zhilu coveted some methods of the view of depravity.
For the orphans who were struggling at the bottom of Youzhou, although they knew that the group of people in the Depravity View were a great rebellion in the previous dynasty and were related to the Depravity View, they didn't care much about the distinction between Taoism and good and evil.
The most important thing is that they have no family members. At most, they will lose their heads by themselves and are not afraid of implicating their families, so they are less concerned about doing things.
"I may be able to help you with this." An Gui knew that this was about his head, so he dared not speak without hesitation. "The students from the two academy moved all the books, notes and essays about the practitioners of the previous dynasty to Songxi Academy. They seemed to have sorted out the things carefully. These things are not secrets, and there are no detailed methods of practice, and no powerful people think they are precious, and no one will sort them out."
"If it's convenient, find two capable students and show me what they have sorted out. Don't just have everything about the view of depravity, otherwise it will make people suspicious." An Zhilu pondered: "If the things they have sorted out are inconvenient, then ask clearly the names of the books, notes and essays, we borrow them all, copy them, and then spend some money to let people organize them slowly."
"It should be no problem. I picked up and dropped off the students from the academy that night. I can still see which individuals are capable." An Gui nodded.
An Zhilu lowered her head.
He looked at the piece of meat placed on the cake and made a decision in an instant, "Agui, if you have nothing else to do tonight, just live in my house. Then you can help me see when General Xu will come back. If he lives outside tonight, it would be best. I will go out to do something and come back later. During this period, you will think I am in the house too. In the future, if someone asks about what to do tonight, you can help me get a certificate."
An Gui nodded directly, "I know, I just say that after I come tonight, you have never left the house."
"You are smart, I feel relieved."
An Zhilu grabbed the piece of meat and cake, finished eating in a few bites, took a cloth and wiped her hands clean, and then went out directly.
After An Gui finished eating the cured meat, he took off his boots and baked his feet on the stove, and then entered the room where An Zhilu had been dented and got into the bed with his clothes. Because he hadn't slept all night, he fell asleep soon after.
After sleeping for a while, there was a slight noise in the yard. An Gui and the orphans were all alert when they were young. Even though they were so heavy that they seemed to be a mountain pressing on their bodies, he still woke up suddenly and heard the man's footsteps clearly in his dizziness.
"Brother Zhilu?"
An Gui instantly heard his footsteps and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm back, things are going well." An Zhilu's voice sounded, "You can go to bed."
"good."
An Gui was so tired that he was dying. Now An Zhilu was back, so he didn't have to worry. After answering a word, he fell asleep completely again.
It was just dawn the next day, and he woke up and finally felt refreshed.
In the yard outside, An Zhilu was already exercising her body and breathing and practicing.
A fresh aroma of vegetable soup had already penetrated his nose.
"Eat quickly. Even if Miss Pei Er doesn't send you, you will go to her place early to wait. The more places they use for you, the more benefits you will get." When An Zhilu saw him coming out, she just clicked to the kitchen and continued her practice.
"I know."
An Gui went in and brought a very large bowl, drank the hot vegetable soup, and found that there were a lot of thin leg meat chopped inside, and his heart suddenly felt warm.
You must go early if you go early, but if you have time, you must do the things that An Zhilu has told you well.
"Agui, General Xu is not back until now, maybe he will go directly to the military camp. Even if Aniu and the others ask you, you will say that I have not been out all night. Those nobles are very awesome to investigate the matter." When An Gui went out, An Zhilu explained again with concern.
"good."
An Gui only knew that An Zhilu must have gone out to do something, but since An Zhilu didn't take the initiative to tell him about the specific matter, he didn't want to inquire, so he just agreed.
An Zhilu practiced for another half an hour, ate hot vegetable soup, washed up, and then walked out of the door and arrived at the yamen where Xu Tuibe worked.
The Youzhou military is bullying, but knowing that Xu Tuibei is powerful, he is polite to An Zhilu. A lieutenant named Nan came to chat for a while and said that Hua Cangming had made arrangements. Xu Tuibei would go directly to Huafu today. If An Zhilu had something to do, she could hang out here and go out for a walk.
This means you, a kid, do whatever you like, just don't just stare at us and report it.
An Zhilu has been struggling in the market for so many years, and naturally knows how to deal with these people. So he said to the lieutenant respectfully: "General Nan, I am going to go out and prepare some commonly used items at General Xu's home. However, I have just been naturalized and have not received any salary. I don't even have any extra copper on hand. I don't know if General Nan can make me a few credits. I will definitely pay it back next month."
"You guys are so good. On the first day of your arrival, you are unfilial to us, but instead blackmail us." The captain surnamed Nan scolded him, laughing at him, and readily took out a ingot of silver and stuffed it to An Zhilu.
"I'll invite the general to have a drink next month." An Zhilu smiled and accepted it.
The money is borrowed and returned, and more money will be added, and you will become familiar with these military people.
...
An Zhilu calmly bought some things that Tuibei might be useful in the market, bought two pots of wine and fresh vegetables, and then returned to Xu Tuibei's yard.
Only after he brought it to the yard and put down these things did his heart beat violently.
He went to the pile of firewood beside the yard and raised a package from it.
At this time, the charcoal fire in the stove fire had not yet been extinguished. He quickly added some dry firewood and put a pot of water in it. When the stove fire became strong, he quickly threw the layer of cloth wrapped outside and the black clothes covered with blood inside and burned it clean. Even a trace of the corners of the clothes and the fragments of fabric were extremely patiently carried into the fire with a fire stick.
After rummaging through for a long time, he didn't see any remaining things. He added some dry firewood, then he put together all the things that had not been carefully looked at in the package and quickly returned to his house.
The largest object in the package is a purple rectangular wooden box, and the size is probably fine to put your head on.
The other items are waist cards, one is a deer-skin money bag, a sachet woven with silver wire, and a small glass bottle.
An Zhilu first stuffed the purple wooden box into his bed, and then started from the waist card and checked it one by one.
The waist brand is heavy, it is made of some kind of copper, one side is smooth, the other side has some dark patterns on the back, and there is no handwriting.
He looked around and looked at it several times, but couldn't tell anything, so he put it in a skin bag prepared first.
The sachet woven with silver wire looks luxurious at first glance. The things inside are like spices, but they can't smell any when they fall on the tip of their nose.
The glass bottle is also empty, but the glass is a rare dark green, and there is a faint light on the inner wall, with many tiny potholes.
These three things were useless, and An Zhilu was not discouraged, so she carefully took out the purple wooden box.
After observing for a while, he found that the purple wooden box had a secret button. He hesitated for a moment, walked out again, and when he returned, he held a slender bamboo branch in his hand.
After taking the bamboo branch, he hesitated for a moment, but still felt that it was not safe. He took another shield that he usually used most easily to block it, and then he carefully used the bamboo branch to pick the hidden button of the purple wooden box.
With a click, the hidden buckle of the purple wooden box was easily picked open.
No danger happened.
But An Zhilu still frowned slightly without any care.
He carefully used bamboo branches to slowly open the lid.
Just a gap was raised, and a buzzing sound suddenly sounded inside, like insects flying.
"Is it a worm?"
Such a thought suddenly appeared in An Zhilu's mind.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, listened for a moment, and confirmed that it was indeed a living creature, but seemed to be bound to fly out of the box.
He slowly opened the lid of the box little by little, and when he saw what was inside, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The box is divided into nine grids, and there are a total of nine glass bottles placed.
These nine glass bottles are transparent, with a slight mossy color.
There is a glass bottle in the middle that is slightly larger than the other eight glass bottles, the size of a baby's fist, and the hole cover is also glass, but there are several air holes.
There is obviously a Gu insect the size of a fingernail in this bottle.
This insect looked very terrifying, with a blood-red ball, with armor and scarlet soft flesh intertwined on the body, completely different from natural formation.
It looked round and like a beetle, but it had no obvious head. There were four or five black dots at one end. At first he thought it was an eye, but when he got closer to see it, he found that there were vague meat beards coming in and out of these black dots.
The buzzing sound was the beetle's abdomen rubbing. It seemed that it wanted to use the beetle to scratch or crack the glass bottle to run out, but the glass bottle was extremely strong and it seemed to have been stuck in it for a long time and had no vitality. After the beetle rubbed and shook, it seemed to be used to the light outside entering the wooden box, and gradually stopped moving, just lying weakly, occasionally swaying slightly.
The other eight glass bottles contain various colors of powder, some of which look like powder milled by plants, and some of which are like crystals grinding, with debris shining.
After looking at it for a long time, An Zhilu couldn't see any other mystery in this box. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, feeling that this thing was like a hot potato.
He took a great risk to get the bag last night. By asking the woman about some clues he got, he suspected that the bag was left by the fallen monk who assassinated Qi Yu before.
Now there is an extremely strange insect in the box, and he feels that this guess is basically a sure thing.
But he planned to practice methods of depravity or methods against the enemy, even the method of practicing Gu poison.
But now there are no such things. I don’t know what use it can be used for this Gu worm, or how to refine or how to use it.
If this thing is left in your hand, if it suddenly makes a strange sound again, it will be impossible to explain it clearly when it is noticed.
As soon as he thought of this, he felt that for the sake of safety, he had to deal with the wooden box, even if he dig a deep hole and buried it first.
But the moment he covered the wooden box, his body suddenly shook.
The purple wooden box cover is tightly tucked, and there seems to be no slight gap.
There are many small holes on the cap of the glass bottle that traps the Gu worm. Are those holes not used to breathe the hideous and weird Gu worm, but to feed it?
Are those things that look like medicine powder used to feed it?
This insect can't die in such a box, so this kind of thing should not be an ordinary thing.
If you dig a hole and buried it, it may not be suffocated to death, but if the underground moisture enters, will it die if it is soaked in water?
When he thought about it, he suddenly had a good place to settle it for the time being.
He immediately wrapped a bag of the purple wood box with two pieces of coarse cloth, then took a backpack for the food and put it in, put the skin bag containing the rest of the things in it, and then covered it with a lot of debris. Then he pretended to be buying again and went out.
When passing through an alley, the entrance to the alley was crowded with people, as if looking inside to watch the fun.
The yelling and scolding of officials kept ringing in the alley.
An Zhilu didn't stop to see what was going on, but just walked away slowly.
...
The police and Dian Shi in Youzhou City were so busy that they kept calling out these days.
There are troubles everywhere, and almost all practitioners are causing trouble.
Two officials in charge of the city's arrest have been asking the Youzhou military for practitioners in the past two days.
"We don't have enough manpower. There are more powerful practitioners in this period than I have seen in my whole life. Even if we transfer all the practitioners in Yuyang County, Yunzhong County, it's not enough to call them."
"Even if there are no practitioners, you will work harder. It is good to have more armored men patrol outside and walk around more. At worst, we can invite more brothers under your command to drink in a few days."
A military general who was entangled by an official was the Nan Chengzong Captain who had previously lent money to An Zhilu.
"You guys are so stupid, so you come here to talk." Captain Nan knew that this person must have been deliberately running here to speak, "You are thinking that Superintendent Xu is here and putting pressure on us. They are all their brothers. You are still so despicable. Don't you know what we are going to do?"
"No matter how difficult it is, you can't always have murder cases. Two more lives were killed last night! You are not afraid of us." The official who was pestering Nan Chengzong wanted to kneel down and hug his legs.
"Two more lives were killed?" Nan Chengzong was stunned.
"The old Ding from Xiangchunyi was stabbed to death last night."
The official looked extremely ugly and said, "Just just now, there was a female corpse in the well in the Lihua Lane. The coroner carefully checked it and raped it first and then killed it, and raped it more than once, not only in one place."
Nan Chengzong was stunned, "What does it mean to be more than one place?"
The official said in a cold voice: "The coroner said that the thief is very powerful. Not only is the woman's lower body swollen, she has been raped for a long time, but her anus has also been torn."
Nan Chengzong frowned.
The official continued: "The coroner said that this person is very addicted. Perhaps he should be a very lustful person who raped the woman for at least one hour. I thought to investigate, and I am afraid that he would need to start from the laughing market in the city. The women in the fun were asked one by one to see if there are such people among the guests they usually receive. But where did we get the staff? I don't know why this person is so perverted. After rape and killing people, he would throw it into the well where many people eat water. The news has spread. The city is full of wind and rain. If this person cannot be found, people will be in panic. Which woman can sleep well in the future? Which woman dares to walk outside?"
"The armored soldiers and Xuan armor are really not there."
Nan Chengzong's expression was also ugly, and he said softly: "These armored soldiers in the city have been divided up by several families, for fear that there will be some other practitioners who will go into the yard to rob you in the next night. I will find a way to stop a hundred city guards with their legs and legs to dispatch you. If you meet a practitioner, don't think about fighting desperately, just surrender or lie down on the ground and pretend to be dead. Listen to my advice, practitioners who dare to do something outside recently will either have a good background or have a very good fact and will definitely not be able to provoke them. Also, I will not be able to make trouble here. The next few days, I will not have enough manpower. I told me privately that you don't have to use a warrior to investigate anyway."
...
An Zhilu walked north along the street, and a servant in green trotted to him.
"Xiao Du, please tell Qingniu for me. Next, let him call everyone to help me check things related to the Depravity View. Anyway, whether it is news related to the Depravity View or related books and records, the old people who knew a lot about the previous dynasty would help me find it."
