Chapter 73 Thriller(1/2)
[3: What’s going on with the Heaven and Earth Society?]
[Jiu: The Heaven and Earth Society is a cult that has been coveting the magic weapon of our Earth Sect for a long time. Haha, this magic weapon is also called the Book of the Earth. It can send messages across thousands of miles.
I received a distress message from Brother Jin Lian a while ago, and learned that he had gone to Dafeng Capital City, because only by entering the capital city can we avoid being pursued by the Heaven and Earth Society.
But when I rushed to the capital, I lost the contact information of Senior Brother Jin Lian, so I sent a message through the Book from the Ground, and then I found out that he had transferred the "Book from the Ground" to you. I guess the situation of Senior Brother was very critical, so I had to give up the Book from the Ground.
Please protect yourself.】
What the hell...you mean who gave me the pot?!
Xu Qian was stunned.
[Jiu: I just don’t know who you are, so you can make Senior Brother Jin Lian trust you to entrust the Book of Earth to you. 】
I'm just a little quickie, no, I'm just a little watcher...Xu Qian'an was half chilled.
[3: Why can you protect yourself by abandoning the book from the ground? Can the people of the Tiandihui lock the location of the book from the ground?]
Reasoning expert Xu Qian keenly captured this problem.
[Jiu: This matter involves a secret matter of our Di Sect, and I cannot tell it to you. The book from Di is the most precious treasure of our sect. I hope you can return it to me, and I will be very grateful.]
【三:Okay, how can I pay you back?】
Xu Qian was a little reluctant to part with it. After all, this was a treasure that could be used as a storage ring, but considering the risks associated with it, he still chose to follow his heart.
[Jiu: Pindao is in the capital. I can come to you at any time. If you can’t trust Pindao, you can choose to exchange addresses. Well, what do you want? 】
Naiko, I want hot Naiko...Xu Qian almost blurted out.
[3: The Taoist Priest is too polite. It is my duty to return the property to its original owner. However, the Taoist Priest Jinlian told me at that time that this is the most precious treasure in the world and was sold to me for five hundred taels of gold.
I am definitely not asking for money, but if the treasure is returned to its original owner, the gold will naturally be returned to the original owner, and the exchange will be equivalent, right?]
[Jiu:...that's how it should be.]
...
Xu Qian put away the mirror and fell asleep deeply with the dream of five hundred taels of gold in mind.
The next day, he put on the uniform of a watchman, hung up his waist badge, saber, and tied yesterday's new gong to his chest.
Climb over the wall to have breakfast at my second uncle's house.
After leaving the Xu Mansion, Xu Qian took the reins of the horse from the concierge Lao Zhang, and rode the horse to the inner city to go to the Yamen.
This horse was the second uncle's mount and now belongs to Xu Qian. Of course, in order to silence his aunt, Xu Qian gave the second uncle fifty taels of silver.
There was nothing that could be done about it. The Dugong Yamen was in the inner city, too far away from Xu's mansion. If Xu Qian walked, he would almost have lunch when he arrived at the Dugong Yamen.
He quickly rushed to the watchman's office and stepped into the Chunfeng Hall. Li Yuchun was drinking tea with a Yin Luo.
"The new guy under your command?" Yinluo asked casually when he saw that he was a stranger.
"Yeah." Li Yuchun nodded.
"What rating?" Yin Luo asked.
Li Yuchun didn't wait for Xu Qian to speak and said quickly: "Your Majesty."
Yinluo was quite surprised and praised: "That's right, that's right. The yamen needs young people with such potential. In the future, you will be the ones to carry out the job."
The second half of the sentence was meant for Xu Qian.
Xu Qi'an bowed respectfully and then explained his purpose: "Boss, I want to go to the archives."
He neither knew where the record library was nor the corresponding authority.
"If you have any questions in the future, you can go directly to the officials." Li Yuchun said.
"I understand." Xu Qian exited Chunfeng Hall.
When the leader is chatting, you are a subordinate and you can't interrupt anything if it's not urgent. This is worth paying attention to.
After arresting an official and asking him where the case documents were, Xu Qian came to a large courtyard.
He handed the badge to the official in black, who took it, confirmed it was correct, and handed it back to Xu Qian, saying:
"The document library is divided into four areas, A, B, C and D. Tongluo can only go to the D-shaped room to check the documents."
Xu Qian thought for a while and asked: "How should I know which warehouse the information I want to check is in."
The official in black smiled respectfully and said: "Go to the 'D' warehouse."
There are four warehouses: A, B, C and D. D is the base level and the largest, which is in line with the pyramid law.
The more confidential the documents, the smaller the number.
Xu Qi'an entered the "D" warehouse, came to the reception desk, and said: "I want to find information about Dao Sect."
The clerk behind the reception desk took out a thick book, checked it for a while, raised his head and said, "Sir, please wait a moment."
He went inside the archives.
After a while, the black-clothed official came out with a book in his hand, reached out to take Xu Qi'an's waist badge, and handed the book over.
Xu Qian said: "Have a cup of hot tea."
He turned around and went to the side hall where the desks were placed, and started reading the Dao Sect information.
The source of Taoism comes from Dao Zun. The age of Dao Zun cannot be verified. According to legend, Dao Zun is a strange person from ancient times. He transformed the three pure beings in one breath, namely: Yuanshi Tianzun, Daode Tianzun, and Lingbao Tianzun.
The three talents of heaven, earth and man coincide.
This is the origin of the three sects of Taoism: "Heaven, Earth and Man".
Among them, the Heavenly and Human sects are as powerful as fire and water. Both claim to be the orthodox Taoist sect and would like to beat the other's brains out.
The Earth Sect is the most indifferent, and its members have a very low-key style. They do not compete for fame or wealth. People who don’t understand this think that there are only two sects in Taoism: Heaven and Human.
The salted fish makes people feel distressed.
"These days, the dispute over orthodoxy is probably the biggest conflict." Xu Qian added silently in her heart: Sister Yu is invincible in the world.
Continuing to read, he found that the "Di Zong" salted fish made sense.
The Earth Sect worships the Moral God and cultivates immeasurable merit. They travel around the world, keep a low profile, do good deeds without leaving a name, and leave as soon as they gain merit.
"Merit..." Xu Qian frowned and thought.
In a sense, merit has the same origin as luck. People often say: Do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and good people will be rewarded.
Merit means blessing, and blessing and luck are the same thing.
So that old Taoist priest from the Earth Sect could see what was special about me? Knowing that I was a lucky European emperor, he threw the hot potato to me with peace of mind.... Ma De, aren't you a person who cultivates merit?
Why do you do such immoral things...
Xu Qian cursed in her heart.
From this, he began to think that his strange luck was also a kind of merit?
However, the eighteen generations of the Xu family were ordinary people. Only the second uncle's generation had a slight improvement, but the two brothers were still killers with kitchen knives in their hands, cutting wires with sparks and lightning all the way.
Not many good things were done, but a lot of people were killed on the battlefield.
At this time, the administrator made hot tea and brought it over, chatting casually: "Your Excellency, are you checking the Renzong's information?"
No, what we are investigating is the Earth Sect... Xu Qian asked in reply: "The Human Sect?"
"Our Imperial Master is the current Taoist Priest of the Renzong." The official said, "Master Wei is very unhappy with that female Taoist Priest."
The female Taoist priest...ah, that legendary and stunning Taoist nun?
Xu Qi'an suddenly realized that before, he only knew that the current saint was obsessed with Taoism and longed for immortality. He appointed a fairy-like Taoist nun as a national preceptor.
I didn’t expect it to be Renzong!
The sorcerers of Si Tianjian, the Taoist sect, the Dageng people, the Confucian Yunlu Academy, the Dafeng military, the civil service group of the court... The capital city is like a small pool, but it is crowded with dragons.
No wonder "Jiuhao" said that people from the Tiandihui did not dare to enter the capital.
Taoist Priest Jinlian: Come in and try.
Tiandihui Killer: You will die if you try.
Hahaha... Xu Qi'an raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Look for me more information about the "Heaven and Earth Society". Well, there are also books from the earth. Do you know the book from the earth, the treasure of heaven and earth... Well, if I
If I want to go to warehouse A, B, and C, which channel should I apply for?"
Hearing this, the official smiled and said: "Treasurerooms B and C correspond to gold gongs and silver gongs respectively. As for the warehouse A, you can only enter with Wei Gong's handwriting. But the Tiandihui and Dishu information you are looking for, Ding
It’s available in warehouse No. 2.”
Seeing that Xu Qian was stunned, he explained: "It sounds like the Heaven and Earth Society is a Jianghu organization, and the Book of the Earth is a legendary ancient magic weapon. Neither of them is confidential. I'll check the manual and see where it is."
After that, I went to the reception desk.
Xu Qian looked at his back and was stunned for a while before he understood.
He has fallen into a misunderstanding, thinking that the more ancient something is, the more confidential it is. In fact, it is not. The more ancient something is, the less valuable it is... Well, it's not a question of value or not, antiques are still very valuable, but the level of confidentiality.
The real secrets are things closely related to contemporary times, such as military intelligence, border defense layout, gunpowder formulas, siege equipment and shipbuilding blueprints, etc.
To be continued...
