Pawn Crossing the River

After leaving St. Paul's Cathedral, Qi Xuansu said nothing.

There are things that Strawney doesn't have to know.

Although St. York is under the watchful eye of a patriarch, don't worry too much. After all, Yujing was still under the watchful eyes of several Taoist immortals, and finally let the ancient immortals sneak in.

Just because the gods and immortals can keep a close eye on everything doesn't mean they are willing to do so, nor are they so leisurely.

For example, Landa Zhenren, Shenglong Mansion is still under his watch. Doesn't he know nothing? I almost had my nest taken away from me.

After returning to Strawney's mansion, Qi Xuansu set up a ban to isolate the inside and outside, and then took out the "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fans".

Wuniang, Qiniang.

At first glance, I thought the two were sisters.

But Qiniang is not at a disadvantage. After all, Wu Niang is hundreds of years old and is older than the three great evil creatures.

Wu Niang appeared in front of Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu informed Wuniang of his thoughts.

Wu Niang did not object. "This is not impossible. I can hand over the control of my body to you, and I will only exist as a bystander. Of course, when necessary, the two of us can also be interchanged, that is, I will take control." Body, you become a bystander. You are the boss, the authority is in your hands, you have the final say.”

Qi Xuansu was not humble and said, "That's it."

"Use your military solution." Wu Niang waved her sleeves, "I will fully cooperate."

After the words fell, Wu Niang slowly disappeared.

Qi Xuansu began to use the method of defeating San people. As early as in Borneo, Qi Xuansu had experienced the method of creating San people in advance through the pages of the "Xirui Sutra". It was natural to use it again at this time.

The "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fans" itself began to change, gradually turning into another Qi Xuansu.

But this Qi Xuansu is dressed the same as Wu Niang, with a star crown and feather robe, and looks like an ancient Taoist priest.

"This is not possible, we need to make some fine adjustments." Qi Xuansu came to the incarnation of Bingjie and stroked his face with his fingers.

With Qi Xuansu's movements, this incarnation also began to change, gradually changing from an Eastern appearance to a Western appearance, but it was not the appearance Qi Xuansu was pretending to be now, but a head full of white hair, wrinkles, and no beard.

The clothes also changed to the clothes of Western adventurers. The crown became a hat, not the top hat favored by gentlemen, but a soft felt hat. The priest's robe turned into a knee-length coat, with no vest underneath, only a slightly dirty blue striped shirt, overalls, leather boots with spurs, riding gloves, and an outer belt with gun holsters on the left and right. No watch, no handkerchief, no brooch, no ring, nothing unnecessary.

\u003c/di\u003e

A typical outlaw look.

"What name should I choose?" Qi Xuansu thought for a while, "Let's call it Hosea, Hosea Matthews. Then equip it with two muskets and a bullet belt."

This is enough.

In an instant, Qi Xuansu's consciousness was divided into two, and he began to gradually control this incarnation.

This is different from the incarnation of Killing Three Corpses. This is Qi Xuansu himself, one self, two bodies. Even if he talks, it is equivalent to talking to himself.

However, unlike the normal incarnation of Bingjie, Qi Xuansu's incarnation of Bingjie also has a bystander, Wuniang.

It was precisely because of Wuniang's existence that Qi Xuansu felt the power in his incarnation far surpassing that of his own body.

The pseudo-immortal stage.

This comes from the power of the immortal creature "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fans" taught by the Great Palm.

Qi Xuansu asked him to stay in Strawney's mansion, and the incarnation named Hosea Matthews turned into a puff of smoke and left the place, blending into the billowing steam outside with the wind.

Soon, Qi Xuansu drifted out of the wealthy area, or aristocratic area, of Richmond District and came to the civilian area.

He condensed into a human form again in a deserted alley, left the alley, and walked on the streets of the civilian area.

Suddenly, Qi Xuansu found Wuniang appearing beside him, walking side by side with him.

Wu Niang still looks like a female crown.

Qi Xuansu was slightly surprised, but before he could ask, Wu Niang had already taken the initiative to explain, "From now on, we share our senses. I only exist in your sea of ​​consciousness, which is illusory. In other words, except for No one else can sense my existence except you, and only you can talk to me.”

"I understand." Qi Xuansu nodded slightly and continued to move forward.

Compared with the quiet wealthy areas, the civilian areas are much more lively, with people coming and going and rubbing shoulders.

Priests can also be seen in civilian areas. Of course, they are not the pampered bishops, but some low-level priests. They randomly find a box to stand on, and start preaching to passers-by. From time to time, some people stop to listen.

At this time, there was an ordinary priest preaching to passers-by about the dangers of arcana and magic.

The power of arcane magic has been abused by humans, corroding people's hearts, depleting resources, and causing civilizations to fall apart.

Qi Xuansu listened for a while and quite disagreed, "This rhetoric can be applied to anything, Taoism, magic, creation, machinery, steam, etc."

Any misuse will cause problems. The key is people. He might as well say that human desires have no limits. Although it is also a cliché, it is true at least. "

Wu Niang sarcastically said, "People are accustomed to shirk responsibility. If you don't say it's the fault of other things, how can you admit that it's your own fault? I blame the teacher for failing to teach the child well, blame the environment, blame the Xuan Sheng card, blame the storybook, blame the child for being stupid. If you are rebellious, you will not blame yourself.”

Qi Xuansu suddenly thought of Xiao Yin, "You are right."

The two continued to move forward, looking for a way to the Lower City.

This place is not as beautiful as the Holy Court advertises. Even in the civilian areas, there are many homeless people. The heavy labor is overwhelming and seriously damages the health. They always have a tired look, and the meager income makes people feel tired. People here are always full of anxiety and not decent at all.

If just using one Zhongcheng district as a specimen can cover everything, then if Daomen uses Yujing as a specimen, wouldn't it mean that everything in the world is a fairyland?

Qi Xuansu continued to talk to Wu Niang, "From the perspective of a saint, it is natural to hope that the world will be unified and everyone will be well. But this is unrealistic. From the perspective of the enemy, the more decadent the upper level of Saint York becomes, the more corrupt the bottom level will be." Suffering is more beneficial to us. If one day we can destroy it or occupy it, wouldn't it be a good thing? "

Wu Niang did not agree with Qi Xuansu's statement, but sarcastically said, "More importantly, this will become your great achievement and leave a name in history."

Qi Xuansu said half-jokingly, "If his reputation could be hung on bamboo and silk, a man would die without regrets."

Wu Niang clicked her tongue and said, "But having said that, it is a happy thing to trample all the bones of the noble ministers in the sky street and burn the inner treasury to beautiful ashes."

"Your idea is very dangerous, and such words are inappropriate." Qi Xuansu said, "The Taoist sect is no longer the Taoist sect of the Yellow Turban Uprising. Who is the minister you are talking about?"

Wu Niang was a little surprised, "You are very vigilant, Mr. Qi."

Qi Xuansu's expression was calm, "Misfortune comes from the mouth. If you are not alert, you will be easily pulled off your horse."

Wu Niang appeared on the other side of Qi Xuansu again, "But this is not the Taoist territory."

Qi Xuansu asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Let us..." Wu Niang stretched out her hand and pointed around, "Burn St. York to ashes!"

Qi Xuansu finally figured it out. On the surface, Wu Niang was cold and kept away from strangers. In fact, she was born with fire. She seemed to be very interested in burning. For example, in the poem, it doesn't matter whether you step on the bones of the prince or not. The key is to Burn to ashes.

Fire consists in burning.

Qi Xuansu stopped arguing with Wu Niang, opened the door and walked into a tavern.

\u003c/di\u003e

The place is noisy and filled with the turbid smell of low-quality alcohol mixed with the stench of sweat.

Qi Xuansu walked straight to the counter. Behind it, there was a fat "monster", like a small mountain of meat.

As a Jianghu person, Qi Xuansu pushed aside other people, put his elbows on the counter, and behaved rudely. This is not an upper class society, this is the norm.

The few people who were squeezed out wisely chose to settle the matter after seeing the bright firecracker on Qi Xuansu's waist.

"What's going on?" The bartender is used to this kind of behavior.

Qi Xuansu said straight to the point, "I want to go to Xiacheng District."

"What are you doing there?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

"Stranger?"

"Irrelevant."

"have no idea."

"How much?"

"What did you say?"

"Give me a sweet word."

The bartender stopped wiping his glass. "Five gold crowns."

Qi Xuansu frowned and said, "It's just a guide."

"That's the price." The bartender continued to wipe the glass in his hand, "No counter-offer."

Qi Xuansu didn't care about the five gold crowns, but he didn't want to look like a taken advantage of or a fat sheep. This would not bring danger, but it would cause trouble.

Of course, as a temporary pseudo-immortal, it is not difficult for Qi Xuansu to escape to heaven and earth. He can completely sneak in with his own ability, but he doesn't know if there will be some special warning restrictions there. This city has a patriarch in charge. So he still wanted to enter the dungeon through some relatively normal ways and try not to attract the attention of Steam Gospel.

This kind of black market approach naturally violates the laws of St. York, but it will not attract the attention of high-ranking priests.

Qi Xuansu asked, "Can we protect

Is the certificate reliable? "

"Of course." The bartender lowered his voice, "This was originally a tunnel used for smuggling. It was discovered a few years ago and the city council ordered the tunnel to be blown up. But later someone dug it out again. Think about it again. It’s impossible to leave the goods, but it’s okay to leave.”

Qi Xuansu pretended to hesitate and thought for a moment, and finally took out five gold crowns - some and all, which smelled of poverty, but it could also avoid a lot of trouble, after all, the wealth was not revealed.

Qi Xuansu did not forget to hold down the handle of the gun at his waist and added a threat, "If something goes wrong..."

"Full refund guaranteed." The bartender put away a handful of change and said, "Follow me."
