Chapter 3, the document repository, contains unusual techniques

Ping'an County

Chill

The only explanation is that Ping'an County is very important to him. For a practitioner of extraordinary arts, what is the most important thing?

The figure was difficult to discern clearly, yet what left a deep impression on Xu Qingxiao was

The day had already dawned, and Xu Qingxiao sat on a stool in the room, still with his eyes closed in contemplation

the hour of the tiger

It is only at the moment when the lips just touch the tea.

Some headache

Xu Qingxiao has a big head

Difficult

Words flicker in my mind, yet there is always a lack of clarity

Take care of yourself, Qingxiao Ge, I will take my leave now

Xu Qingxiao inquired.

The flames spread across the limbs and torso, as if immersed in a hot spring, filled with unparalleled joy

Northbound or Southbound

Brother Qingxiao, I have come to deliver medicine to you. This is the good medicine prepared for you by the yamen, which can alleviate the coldness within your body

It was only upon noticing something unusual in a residential house that I knocked on the door, and before I had truly stepped inside, a figure rushed out.

However, the more this is the case, the more people become anxious and the more easily they become impatient

Xu Qingxiao took a deep breath, and he became increasingly certain that his conjecture was correct

Document Repository

In the room, Xu Qingxiao did not light the oil lamp, and it was pitch dark.

He vaguely sensed something, but it was very unclear and incoherent

Currently, the three self-rescue methods provided by Dr. Zhao are ineffective, with the first two being completely unfeasible

The leader is Chen Bu.

strange art

two hours

A mere county like Ping'an surely cannot possess any hidden paradises; if it did, it would have long been requisitioned by the court, how could it possibly have remained until now

Among the residences

Terrain? Treasures? Or... other extraordinary skills?

Moreover, Qingxiao, there is actually not necessarily no way to rescue you. I have heard that someone from above has been sent down specifically to capture the fugitive who harmed you

This is a tenth-grade martial artist

One must not lose focus; otherwise, the more anxious one becomes, the more chaotic it gets, and the more chaotic it becomes, the more anxious one gets, leading to a vicious cycle from which there is truly no escape

He is also a colleague of the yamen runners in Ping'an County, but Xu Qingxiao does not quite remember this person's name

Two days ago, the original owner of this body was patrolling the county as usual

The other party inquired with curiosity

Little brother, during the two days I was away, has anything particularly strange happened at the county office? For instance, has there been any additional security measures implemented there?

What methods are there to resolve issues in a small peaceful county

Xu Qingxiao's thoughts became clear and open, gradually piecing together the information available.

Of course, it is one's own life, after all, practicing extraordinary techniques can lead to extremely terrifying backlash

At this moment, Xu Qingxiao's mind was racing. Although he did not understand why he was entangled in this, there was nothing else worth pondering at the moment

He does not flee northward; instead, he heads south and specifically chooses Ping'an County, which surely indicates some ulterior motive

The team leader is still Officer Chen.

He began to reminisce, searching through his memories

Xu Qingxiao inquired

"Brother Qingxiao, let me help you prepare the medicine. Although its effect is not very significant, it at least has some efficacy."

Knowing that heading north could lead to escape, even if the court places great importance on it, it is still a hundred times better than coming to Ping'an County

Seeing that Xu Qingxiao said nothing, the latter also clasped his hands in farewell. Xu Qingxiao returned the gesture with a bow and then closed the door.

Yes

Where is this strange art

But the problem is stuck here

Brother Qingxiao, I have already prepared the medicine. Remember to take it after half an hour; do not forget, otherwise it will be troublesome if it burns dry

at a dead end

It is nothing, just asking, who is currently guarding the document repository? Who is the leader?

Playing soft, with Chen the constable's character and temperament, it is feared that it is even less likely.

Seeing that Xu Qingxiao was ignoring him, the latter did not take offense. After all, he was already a dying man, and anyone would feel a bit of pity for him, so why would one bother to hold a grudge over this

Xu Qingxiao was operating his brain, striving to recall the memories before the injury.

This figure is enveloped in a chilling aura, as if its body has frozen; a casual slap to itself results in the infiltration of dark energy into its body

He vaguely felt that he should know some information, but perhaps due to just having crossed over, he had not fully received the information, so he could not recall it.

Xu Qingxiao envisioned one scenario after another, until the emergence of the extraordinary arts

Therefore, he is here to seek a solution for resolution

A reddish-brown elixir appeared before my eyes

If there truly exists otherworldly skills

It is now the hour of Chen

Only this remark left Xu Qingxiao suddenly stunned

Chill

This is clearly impossible

He is seeking a solution to the problem of阴冥气

Not a single minute or second can be delayed

Xu Qingxiao's mind settled down

As for the treasures, it goes without saying that even if Ping'an County truly had treasures, they would have been offered up long ago. It is impossible for a fugitive to be aware of any privately hidden treasures.

The sky has not yet brightened

Only the path of the extraordinary arts can be attempted

Bang

This extraordinary technique is highly likely to be the Supreme Yang Technique, which can resolve the dark and sinister energy within him

A sound rang out, and Xu Qingxiao got up to open the door. What met his eyes was a man of similar age to himself

Soon, as the elixir entered the throat, a reaction occurred in less than a quarter of an hour

Although not completely certain, it is eight or nine out of ten

The other party said this, which invigorated Xu Qingxiao

Nothing happens by chance

But why does this person want to come to Ping'an County

In an instant, Xu Qingxiao stood up, his eyes revealing a look of shock

Calm

It is once again the hour, and it has reached the hour of Si.

Running towards Ping'an County, there are people everywhere, making it extremely easy to be exposed

Seeing the expression of the other party, Xu Qingxiao also understood the effect of this medicinal material

The archives are the places where documents are stored. Since the Empress ascended the throne, in order to stabilize the realm, every city, down to the counties and villages, must establish archives. All officials and constables handling cases must have someone to record every detail.

In the darkness, Xu Qingxiao closed his eyes, and only two words remained in his mind

At this moment, a faint sound of footsteps gradually emerged

one shichen

Why does he want to go to a crowded place

Suddenly, Xu Qingxiao's eyes lit up as he thought of a solution

Therefore, the only possibility is that Ping'an County harbors extraordinary skills

There are no fools in this world

He is entangled in the aura of the underworld, clearly suffering from a backlash of foreign techniques, and it is likely that his situation is even worse than mine

Ping'an County is highly likely to have a solution to resolve the issue

As I opened my eyes, a knock at the door sounded.

Is there a specific purpose behind this

The arriving constables were somewhat talkative, intending to comfort Xu Qingxiao and prevent her from becoming too despondent

"Qingxiao Ge, it is I."

What particularly strange things are there? Besides that fugitive, what other odd occurrences are there?

Like a ball of flame, burning in the abdomen, it made Xu Qingxiao feel much more comfortable all over

However, such extraordinary skills are extremely difficult to find, let alone in a mere county like Ping'an, how could there possibly be extraordinary skills

It must be like this

After a short while, Xu Qingxiao got up and practiced the Zhengyang Fist again. Once he had thoroughly stretched his muscles and bones, he began to contemplate a method of rescue

Difficult

However, what is this method of resolution

Xu Qingxiao nodded, but did not say much more

There are unusual techniques in the document repository

Is it really so difficult to survive?

All the information has been interconnected

Can one head north? Yet, one travels south?

He said nothing and returned to his position, continuing to ponder.

Xu Qingxiao was somewhat curious and inquired about the purpose of the other party's visit

If he is captured, it is likely that a method for rescue can be found

However, I am also quite puzzled. This fugitive escaped from the prison in Nanyufu. Clearly, he could have fled north to find safety, yet he chose to head south, unwittingly coming to our Ping'an County. Once we truly capture him, I will make sure to thoroughly experience the tortures of our county office.

[Other Techniques]

The latter answered honestly

In a sudden moment, fragmented memories were restored to their original state, and scenes appeared in Xu Qingxiao's mind.

Yes

Just as Xu Qingxiao was deep in thought and unable to find a solution, a voice interrupted his contemplation

This person is a martial artist, and furthermore, a martial artist who has cultivated extraordinary skills

In a state of anxiety, Xu Qingxiao took a deep breath, striving to calm himself down

This item can barely alleviate the pain

In an instant, it was as if a flash of lightning had crossed my mind

The latter suddenly felt a bit awkward; the medicinal herbs he held in his hand could hardly save Xu Qingxiao's life directly

Xu Qingxiao, calm down

"Qingxiao Ge, why do you ask this?"

Feeling somewhat downcast, Xu Qingxiao poured himself a bowl of tea

Indeed, to the north of Nanyu Prefecture lies a range of mountains, desolate and uninhabited. Even if the local officials personally undertake the task of apprehending someone, finding a living person amidst the continuous mountains is truly no easy feat

He felt that heaven was playing tricks on him, offering a glimmer of hope, only to set up another obstacle.

Xu Qingxiao opened the box

Xu Qingxiao smiled wryly

According to the records in the case files, which are stored in the document repository, if someone seeks redress for a wrongful conviction but there are no case files available, the local county officials may face light penalties such as losing their official title, or severe penalties such as exile. Large case files must be prepared in duplicate and sent to the provincial capital, and there is no concern that someone would burn down the document repository to cover up their misdeeds

Upon hearing the other person's voice, Xu Qingxiao could not help but inquire

a quarter of an hour later

Only new problems have arisen

Anyone with a modicum of intelligence would not be able to accomplish this

However, there has been some additional security; several people have been added to the document storage of our county office, though the reason remains unclear

Xu Qingxiao inquired

The martial artist who has entered the realm of mastery possesses strength akin to that of an ox, having experienced countless battles; even ten of themselves would be unable to match the strength of a single hand of such an individual

Nanyufu

The coldness within the body has become increasingly intense; to be honest, being able to persist and walk back is already a sign of good physical condition

However, how to infiltrate it is quite a hassle

Now, with only the last ten hours of life remaining, Xu Qingxiao does not wish to delay

Difficult

It was a colleague who just arrived, reminding me to take my medication

The other party spoke, holding several bags of medicinal herbs

What happened

During weekdays, access to the document repository is not permitted without the appropriate authorization. Moreover, given that the repository is now under heightened security, it is nearly impossible to infiltrate it on one's own.

Wait a moment

Xu Qingxiao was operating his brain, thinking frantically

The pill was not large, and Xu Qingxiao swallowed it directly, regardless of any potential side effects.

Can this medicine save my life
