Chapter 002 The Alchemy Furnace.
Du Cao nodded in satisfaction and said, "You read it pretty quickly."
Wear throat bullet kick!
Wang Qilin and Xu Da are currently in a place called Andu Library, which is a government-owned document storage room for official documents. It is where the Imperial Observatory stores its case files.
Wang Qilin sighed in admiration. This guy refuses to eat the "Ting Tian Jian Li Shi" rice, but he won't starve to death. He can go to the teahouse to tell stories, and he is skilled in this area.
Following that, the Creation Furnace, which had only appeared in dreams before, suddenly appeared out of nowhere. A small black alchemy furnace, the size of a human head, spun in front of him. However, this time the furnace did not suck in his soul, but instead sucked in the red smoke column and then disappeared without a trace!
Xu Dayi slammed the table and stood up, saying, "Let's go. Today is your first day at our post station, Laoqi. I'll treat you to a meal. How much money do you have with you?"
He was completely stunned when he encountered this kind of thing for the first time.
What is the military boxing? Du Cao was taken aback, "Is this the martial arts practiced in the military? Show me a set."
The reason for converting it into a household of ten people is because Wang Qilin's family has ten members.
Xu Dateng stood up and said in a way that made the brothel sisters feel inferior, "Of course, that's why..."
Du Cao asked him again, "During the annual examination of the Heavenly Observatory, I heard you say that you had practiced martial arts before. So, what kind of martial arts did you practice?"
Ma Bu Heng Da!
Watching him punch and kick, Xu grinned and laughed. Ducao shouted, "Stop, fancy boxing and embroidered legs!"
Xu Daye stepped back a few steps, afraid of being injured by the martial arts in the military.
Xu Dadao: "What kind of joke is this? I am truly a poor man, and I don't have a single penny on me!"
Cases overseen by the Heavenly Supervision Bureau are all related to demons and monsters. The cases are mysterious and complex. Xu Da is very good at telling stories and brings each case to life.
What is going on?
Du Cao said in a deep voice: "Today, Shi Dayin took us, including Xiao Yin, to kill a vengeful demon. It has been a long time since we have seen such a fierce impure creature, and we are all quite tired."
Wang Qilin had nothing to say.
Xu Dazhen is a scoundrel. This guy pretends to stand at attention and shouts, "Prepare for combat!"
Of course there are ghosts. Xu Dada suddenly smiled, his dark face twitching, looking grim.
I am a ghost, can't you see me?
Wang Qilin's heart skipped a beat and exclaimed, "Don't joke around!"
Wang Qilin was speechless.
So my money cannot be touched," Wang Qilin grinned and said, "I also want to accumulate virtue in the future."
He stood up and took out a small booklet from his pocket and threw it to Wang Qilin, saying, "This is the secret transmission of the 'Eight Trigrams Returning Soul Knife' that we have heard from the Celestial Observatory. You should practice it first. Mastering this knife technique will be enough for you to protect yourself in the village. As for your military boxing, it's better not to practice it!"
In the end, Du Cao did not come back at noon. The two of them were too hungry to bear, so they had to eat a bowl of sorghum noodles at a tea stall at the intersection of the countryside road.
In the morning when Wang Qilin arrived, he happened to have something important to attend to, so the two of them quickly exchanged greetings and then went their separate ways.
Invited by Wang Qilin.
Internal dialing ... ...
Du Cao didn't return until the hour of Shen. He was a lean middle-aged man, with stiff eyebrows, a high nose, and tightly pursed lips, giving him a somewhat gloomy and cold appearance.
Du Cao immediately reacted, his face darkened as he said, "How dare you lie during the exam?"
So we can only wait for Xiao Yinducao to come back and think of a solution for lunch.
Wang Qilin remembers that he had locked the window by inserting the latch when he closed it earlier. So how did the window open?
"Yes!" Wang Qilin bowed and then took two steps back, shouting in a stern voice, "Get ready to fight!"
You are ready to report on the affairs of Zhang Family Clinic! Du Cao sternly shouted.
Wang Qilin hurriedly bowed and said, "I dare not, it's just that my skills are crude, afraid that Lord might not be pleased."
Xu Da shouted from behind, "What's your name, Du Xiaoyin? Shengfen! You should call me "cao ye", "cao ye"!"
Fortunately, Du Cao did not notice his abnormality, but first asked Xu Dadao: "Why are you back? Didn't I ask you to stay at Mr. Zhang's clinic during the day?"
At this moment, when Du Cao entered the post station, he walked forward and respectfully bowed, saying, "Xiaoren Youxing Wang Qilin has seen Du Xiaoyin."
This warehouse is very private. The doors and windows are sturdy, and there are hardwood bolts inside. Once closed, they can only be opened from inside the room.
However, martial arts are not ordinary things, they are controlled by prominent families and sects. How can ordinary people have access to them?
After a while, approaching noon, both of their stomachs began to rumble.
Wang Qilin said, "I have a pretty good understanding of the cases from last year and this year."
Just as he approached Du Cao, the scene suddenly changed before his eyes. He saw a thick column of red smoke, as thick as a child's arm, appear on the jet-black silk short robe of the other party. This column of red smoke rolled and twisted on the silk robe, like a red python.
Xu stretched out his strong and sturdy arms to embrace him, winking and nudging at him, "All the money, sir, has been used for charity. There are many girls in the county town who are orphaned and helpless. They are very pitiful, and I have used my money to help them."
A silver shilling is equivalent to one hundred copper shillings, while a catty of good rice from the previous year is only worth five copper shillings. With twenty silver shillings, a family of ten can live comfortably for a month.
This is all he learned in his dreams, it's not very powerful.
Xu Dadao: "That grudge demon must have been killed by you, Lord Cao, right?"
Proud Xu suddenly became crestfallen.
Say!
Xu Da said, "No, I am just good at flattery."
Wang Qilin shouted, "You have no money, yet you invite me to dine out? What about your own money? You only have twenty silver coins for a month's salary!"
Upon hearing these words, Xu Da sat down dejectedly.
The person has practiced the ninth set of radio calisthenics and military boxing.
Xu Dalizhi confidently said, "I am a poor guy, I have no money."
So although these two sets of boxing techniques are not very powerful, he still studied and practiced diligently.
Wang Qilin solemnly said, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Xu Lishi, you are accumulating positive karma."
After hearing this, Wang Qilin admiredly asked Xu Dadao: "Xu Lishi, have you studied Plum Blossom Divination and Four Pillars of Destiny? You calculate very accurately."
The New Han Dynasty follows the ancient Han Dynasty's currency system, using zhū as the basic unit of currency, with jīn zhū, yín zhū, and tóng zhū as subdivisions.
Xu Da said, "We are brothers, no need to be polite. Just treat me to a meal tonight."
Wang Qilin pretended not to hear.
"I brought, etc.," Wang Qilin was astonished, "You invited me to dinner and asked how much money I brought?"
Bow stance rushing punch!
A faint smile appeared on Du Cao's gloomy face: "Just a stroke of luck."
He looked at Du Cao and was about to get angry, quickly went to fetch a chair and showed his enthusiasm: "Master Cao, you should take a rest first. You seem a bit tired."
Xu is a man of great wisdom, but he didn't think much about it. Moreover, he is a good talker. Later, he pulled up a high-backed chair and began to tell Wang Qilin about other cases he had handled at the Imperial Astronomical Bureau.
Du Cao asked him, "Xiao Qi, how did you do with the case files I asked you to review today?"
Wang Qilin hesitated for a moment before answering.
Xu Damao said slowly, "I heard that we have a new brother in the post station and I am eager to get to know him and make friends..."
Wang Qilin ignored what Xu Da said, and he was now in a state of horror!
He closed the window again and deliberately locked the latch, then casually asked, "Will there be ghosts in the celestial prison?"
Wang Qilin bowed to Xu Dagong and said, "Thanks to Sir Xu's explanation."
