Nightwatcher

Uncle Xu was moved for a while, and it was not in vain for him to mediate for twenty years. Although the mother-in-law still doesn't like the nephew, the relationship between the younger generations is still very good.

Second Uncle Xu took the sleeping young girl from his daughter's arms, and comforted him, "Ning Yan has come out, the matter is over."

Xu Lingyue didn't believe it.

Second Uncle Xu said what he said, but she was still dubious and turned her attention to Second Brother.

Xu Nian said indifferently: "It's a trivial matter."

Xu Lingyue believed it.

A person as proud as the second brother would not lie about such a big matter.

County magistrate Zhu paid close attention to the follow-up of this incident, and rushed over immediately after hearing the news from the subordinate staff.

"How did you deal with Mr. Zhou?" County magistrate Zhu was puzzled, unless Mr. Zhou gave up on his own, but he didn't think it was possible.

"I hired a teacher." Xu Nian said.

It turned out that County Magistrate Zhu suddenly realized this, but felt that something was wrong. The bigwigs in the court were all from the Imperial Academy. As we all know, the Imperial Academy and Yunlu Academy are very difficult to deal with.

Even if Xu Xinnian's teacher is a great Confucian, Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment would not be able to release him so happily, and there would be a lot of wrangling. It is not so easy to get things done by cutting the face of the great Confucianists of Yunlu Academy.

"And Mr. Mu Bai." After Xu Nian finished speaking, he added: "And Si Tianjian's white clothes."

"What?!" County magistrate Zhu was taken aback, his expression became more cautious, and his attitude became more correct, "A tiger father has no dogs, and a tiger father has no dogs."

"Congratulations to Mr. Xu, your son is talented and intelligent. He not only gets the attention of Yunlu Academy, but also has friendship with the white clothes of Si Tianjian. His future is boundless. I envy Zhu for having such a son."

Second brother knows Si Tianjian's white clothes? Xu Lingyue immediately looked at Xu New Year, feeling a strong sense of security in her heart.

An ordinary woman follows her father at home and her husband when she gets married—reflecting the two dependences of being in the boudoir and after getting married.

When I was at home, my father relied on me, and so did my elder brother.

Xu Nian shook his head: "Mr. Mu Bai was not invited by me, but by my elder brother himself. I don't know Si Tianjian's white clothes, and it was also found by elder brother himself."

When did Xu Ningyan meet Li Mubai from Yunlu Academy? It may be that there is a lot of New Year's matchmaking. But how did Si Tianjian's white clothes know him, a subordinate official?

County magistrate Zhu was stunned on the spot, his mind full of the word "impossible".

Xu Ningyan has been making a living under his hands for some years, and has always been a taciturn and transparent person. The relationship with his colleagues is not bad, and it will not be heart-to-heart.

Nothing big, except being able to fight.

On the contrary, during this period of time, he suddenly became witty and cunning, calling him brothers and sisters with Wang Butou, and drinking and chatting with his colleagues.

But in any case, it is not enough to get the appreciation of the great Confucianism, and the friendship of the white-clothed Sitianjian.

"If this is the case, Xu Ningyan's status and status are not the same. Even if it is me, I have to be more polite to him and wait for him to speak tomorrow. I will test the tone and see what is going on." County magistrate Zhu thought to himself with.

Xu Lingyue stared at her big Kazilan eyes, a little in disbelief.

But being smart, she immediately had an association, which poem? The elder brother's farewell poem for the second brother was appreciated by the great Confucianism, so he agreed to help mediate.

However, how did Si Tianjian's immortals meet his eldest brother? It really became more and more mysterious.

Xu Qi'an followed Song Qing on the corridor, and beams of light shot out from the air holes in the wall on the right, bringing light.

There are no windows in the Star Observation Tower, Xu Qi'an felt a little regretful that he couldn't overlook the scenery from a distance.

Not long after, they came to a secret room, Song Qing took out the key to open the door, and lit the candles in the secret room.

There are all kinds of weird things in the secret room, some are weapons, bows and crossbows, and some can't be seen at all.

Like visiting a clothing store, Xu Qi'an looked over one by one, and was suddenly taken aback by something.

"What's this?"

It was a huge glass bottle filled with clear water, and there was a strange creature soaked in the water. It looked like a cat, but its body was covered with wood patterns and even had wood tumors on its abdomen.

What's even more strange is that it is alive, and the protruding wooden tumor looks like a heart, slightly undulating.

"This is a great experiment," Song Qing said in a deep voice. "Its body is a cat. I tried to fuse it with a tree so that it could gain the ability to regenerate its severed limbs. In fact, I was close to success. , even if you cut off its head, it will grow back in three days, the only weak point is the heart."

"But I also failed, because it completely turned into a tree, unable to move or think, and could only be kept in water."

Are you a devil? The way Xu Qi'an looked at him changed.

"What do you think of my idea?" Song Qing asked in a tentative tone, seeing that Xu Qi'an's eyes were wrong, he frowned, a little disappointed:

"You also think there is a problem?"

Xu Qi'an kept his expression unchanged, and shook his head: "I just think you are going in the wrong direction, because I have also thought about alchemy in this area, but I named it hybrid technology."

Hybrid technology Song Qing chewed on this word, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"We can start with small things and crossbreed species of the same kind, such as crossbreeding two cats of different breeds, so that they can give birth to a new species." Xu Qi'an said.

"Give birth to different species? What kind of species will be born?" Song Qing asked urgently.

"I don't know, maybe there will be a brand new and excellent variety, maybe it will be reversed." Xu Qi'an said: "But this is the charm of alchemy, what do you think."

"You just said alchemy, you just said alchemy!" Song Qing was very excited.

"What's wrong?" Xu Qi'an's heart sank, suspecting that he had said something wrong.

"I think alchemy is not limited to inanimate objects. I think living things are also within the realm of alchemy. So I changed the cat, but the teacher disagreed. The teacher said that life is not within the realm of alchemy. For this reason, he It's been locked up for a long time."

Master Jianzheng did a good job! Xu Qi'an sullenly said, "Whether it is true or not, let time tell."

After thinking for a while, he continued, "If you want to refute Mr. Supervisor and don't want to be confined, I have a suggestion."

"Tell me." Song Qing already regarded Xu Qi'an as a fellow.

"You can start with plants." Xu Qi'an said: "Plants are also life, but their nature has been reduced a lot. I read an alchemy that coincides with your idea in an ancient alchemy book."

He didn't go on.

"You said it." Song Qing felt uncomfortable like scratching her heart and liver, and the two pairs of eyes on the puffy bags under her eyes were wide open.

"Senior Brother Song's stuff here is quite good." Xu Qi'an reminded: "The principle of alchemy remains unchanged."

"I understand. I can give you three gifts. Given your current refining level, I think these items are suitable for you." Song Qing immediately understood what Xu Qi'an meant, and he did not dislike the principle of equivalent exchange.

Appreciate even.

"The material of this crossbow was refined by me by chance. It is harder and tougher than ordinary iron, but because of the difficulty of refining, it cannot be mass-produced. It is made of a blend of spider silk and colorful silkworm silk. In the case of a sneak attack, it can break through the body-protecting true qi of a martial artist in the Qi training state, not including the peak Qi training state."

"The most precious thing about it is that this military crossbow is engraved with a formation. The formation will increase the power of the arrow and pose a threat to the masters of the gods. But it can only be used three times, and then the formation will dissipate."

Xu Qi'an's heart moved: "Is this a magic weapon?"
