Vol.1 - Chapter 85

【Chapter 5: The Demise of the Ten Thousand Demons Nation Five Hundred Years Ago, the Buddha Sect Conquered the Nation with the Help of the Western Regions. It Is Said That the Buddha Himself Took Action in the Final Battle of Burning Mountain.】

【Chapter 3: Wait, Did You Just Say the Buddha?】

Xu Qi'an wanted to ask if the Buddha really existed outside of the realm of levels, where only immortals and Buddhas could exist. But instead, he questioned the statement of the Buddha's involvement.

This way, he wouldn't reveal that he was a novice.

【Chapter 5: Anyway, my elders have said so, and the credibility is extremely high, as long as you know the level of the leader of the Ten Thousand Demons Nation.】

Number Four, who had a relationship with the female national teacher, asked, "First level?"

【Chapter 5: First level...Ah, my father told me that it was a half-step Martial God.】

Half-step Martial God? Does that mean that it was close to surpassing the first level and becoming a "god" in the martial arts system?

Xu Qi'an was surprised and planned to go back to the archives to check. In addition, Number Five seemed to know a lot about the history of the Ten Thousand Demons Nation. Could she be a remnant of the nation?

At this time, Taoist Master Jin Lian, who had been lurking, appeared, "The Ten Thousand Demons Empress was a half-step Martial God? I remember that it was the first level in the records of my sect."

The demon race and the martial artists were of the same system.

【Chapter 5: I'm not sure, after all, it was five hundred years ago. After the fall of the Ten Thousand Demons Empress, the demon followers of the Ten Thousand Demons Nation continued to resist for a century, but in the end, they could only flee from the southern region.】

【Chapter 5: However, for five hundred years, the remnants of the Ten Thousand Demons Nation have never been extinguished. They have a strong cohesion and dream of restoring their nation, and the reason for all of this is that the princess of the Ten Thousand Demons Nation is still alive.】

【Chapter 3: What level is she?】

【Chapter 5: I don't know about that.】

【Chapter 3: What powerful demons are there in the Ten Thousand Demons Nation?】

【Chapter 5: I only know the history of the Ten Thousand Demons Nation, but I'm not sure about its current situation. After all, the Ten Thousand Demons Nation is secretly accumulating power and is not active.】

This situation is not very helpful for the case... Xu Qi'an thought helplessly.

At this time, Number Two asked tentatively, "Number Three, why do you need information about the Ten Thousand Demons Nation?"

The Confucianists had no dealings with the Ten Thousand Demons Nation.

Xu Qi'an didn't answer him and typed a message, "Taoist Master Jin Lian, I have a friend who has been in a strange state recently. I don't know why, but he keeps going out to pick up money. It happens very frequently, and it's not just luck. Let me put it this way, he can live a wealthy life just by picking up money, without doing anything else. The Buddhist sect cultivates merit. Is there anything similar to this?"

Picking up money just by going out?!

And according to Number Three, it wasn't just pure luck, but he frequently saw money.

There was actually someone in the world who could live a prosperous and healthy life just by picking up money...The chat group fell silent for a while.[Chapter 5: Don't Joke Around with Number Three.]

[Chapter 9: Having merit means good fortune, which implies that doing things will be smooth sailing, without illness or disaster, and often turning bad luck into good. It won't specifically mean "picking up silver", hmm, can my young friend understand what I mean?]

So, for those who have merit, things will go smoothly, but this is a general and broad fortune BUFF, not just picking up silver... Xu Qi'an was a little annoyed.

So, his lucky fortune is not the same as the merit of the Earth Sect?

He always thought that he could often pick up money, and that the merit of the Earth Sect was the same thing. With merit, the heavens will also reward me with a meal.

No one spoke for a long time. Xu Qi'an squatted in the smelly toilet for half a day before confirming that these people had gone offline again.

You have to say when you go offline, you bunch of uncivilized netizens... he complained, raised the candlestick, and left the toilet.

Returning the candlestick to the shopkeeper, he walked out of the inn and happened to meet a team of Nightwatchers passing by.

Xu Qi'an took the initiative to say hello: "Did you find anything?"

Several Nightwatchers shook their heads and looked towards the inn.

Xu Qi'an said: "I have already checked. There are no suspicious characters in the inn."

Several colleagues heard this and stopped searching the inn, rushing away in a hurry.

...

The next morning, Number Six changed into an ordinary long gown again. The loose gown covered his burly body, and he wrapped a handkerchief around his bald head. He silently left the inn among the early risers.

He ate breakfast at a roadside breakfast stand and walked towards the city gate to the inner city.

Approaching the city gate, he quietly observed that there were twice as many guards as usual, and a white-clad member of the Celestial Observation Bureau scrutinized every person leaving the city.

Number Six mingled in the crowd and headed towards the inner city.

The white-clad member of the Celestial Observation Bureau also scrutinized him, but after a brief glance, let him pass.

As a Buddhist disciple, he naturally had a way to eliminate the killing aura after killing. Number Three had won him valuable time.

If he didn't have that one-leaf blindfold and the room in the inn, he would not have been able to evade the investigation of the Celestial Observation Bureau's sorcerers last night.

Number Six headed east and returned to his residence close to noon. Most of the houses here were built of yellow soil, with broken black tiles on the roofs.

This is the slum area.

Number Six came to a simple courtyard with a plaque on the gate that read: Health Preservation Hall!

Health Preservation Hall is a welfare institution of the court, specifically for the care of widows, orphans, and the elderly.

Although it is government-run, only a few old officials handle affairs in the courtyard and can barely take care of the orphans and elderly in the courtyard.

Number Six stayed at Health Preservation Hall as a monk, helping the old officials take care of the orphans and elderly.

He didn't take a penny and often used his own money to subsidize the expenses of Health Preservation Hall.In the past decade, the court has increasingly neglected institutions like the Health Preservation Hall, often going several months without allocating funds.

Official institutions have long since ceased to exist.

As soon as Number Six entered the courtyard, an old official came forward, imploring, "Master Heng Yuan, please don't bring any more children in. The hall is already bursting at the seams."

Number Six clasped his hands together. "This monk will solve the problem of funds."

Thinking of his friend from Number Three, he wished he could go out every day to pick up some silver.

After helping the old official cook porridge and distributing it to the elderly and children, the muscular monk went to the backyard.

There was a black dog in the woodshed, walking awkwardly, but occasionally flashing a glint of intelligence in its eyes.

The black dog clumsily walked up to the monk, lifted its black and white eyes, and mumbled, "Good fortune...in the Eastern Sea, great luck...great profit."

Master Heng Yuan looked at him with pity, clasped his hands together, and recited a Buddhist chant in a low voice.

......

The murder of Uncle Pingyuan caused a stir in the court the next day, and the noble group was furious. The civil group, who had always been at odds with the nobles, also took this case seriously. The Imperial Censor of the Metropolitan Court impeached Wei Yuan.

Emperor Yuan Jing severely rebuked the commander of the Five Guards in the capital and Wei Yuan, the commander of the Nightwatchers.

Xu Qi'an noticed that the Nightwatchers had a very passive attitude towards the case.

In the reception room, Xu Qi'an chatted with Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao while drinking tea.

"Don't be surprised. Uncle Pingyuan was not a good person. I heard some insider information from my colleagues. Uncle Pingyuan privately raised illegitimate children and specialized in kidnapping and trafficking people." Song Tingfeng whispered, "Wei Yuan would love to see these imperial parasites die, and he doesn't expect the Nightwatchers to avenge him."

Zhu Guangxiao muttered, "But it still makes the court lose face. The officials won't let it go."

"Hey, the imperial investigation is coming soon. No one will care if Uncle Pingyuan dies. It will calm down in a while. We just have to work harder. The office just ordered us to strengthen patrols in the inner city." Song Tingfeng said, "I don't know how the officials will deal with Wei Yuan. They have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time."

"Let's go to the martial arts field and practice to enhance our teamwork." Xu Qi'an suggested.

The three returned to the reception room, sweating all over, and drank two glasses of water. Xu Qi'an said, "I'm going to the archives."

He went to the archives and said to the receptionist, "Help me find the files on the Demon Kingdom."

The receptionist went into the warehouse and brought out a copy of "Geography of the Nine Provinces: Southern Frontier."

Xu Qi'an quickly finished reading it. There was quite a bit of information on the Demon Kingdom in the book, but it was all about its history. The only valuable information was the description of the Demon Empress: Nine-tailed Sky Fox."There's no record of Buddha taking action in the Nightwatcher's archives... How did Number Five know about it, and what force does he belong to?" Xu Qi'an thought to himself, returning the scroll to the clerk.

"Are there any other scrolls? About the Wan Yao Kingdom?" he asked.

"Yes, there are, but they're not in the Ding Hao warehouse," the clerk replied.

Implied was that his clearance wasn't high enough.

Xu Qi'an nodded and left the archives, heading straight for the Hao Qi Tower.

He was about to make a bold move to gain more trust and appreciation from Wei Yuan, and he had already prepared a plan.

The guards were notified and he was allowed to pass.

As he climbed the familiar seventh floor, Xu Qi'an saw the white-haired, handsome eunuch and Nangong Qianrou, who was just as attractive as Xu Er Lang. He also saw Yang Yan, the superior of his superior, whose face was paralyzed from years of service.

Xu Qi'an spoke loudly, "Please ask Wei Gongping to dismiss everyone else. I have something to report."
