Embers of Sword

Chapter 19: Eight Hundred Miles Forbidden
An area of 800 li within Qingzhou was closed off.

This kind of thing has happened before...

Xie Xuanyi pressed his brows, feeling somewhat ironic.

Ten years ago, when I was being hunted by the whole world, it was almost like this. The border guards were on high alert, and countless officers were on standby. The situation back then should have been even bigger than it is now.

But the current situation is different from the past.

The officials stationed in Fengsui City did not know the reason for the ban, and this strict investigation was not intended to catch a certain monk with a name.

So, the 800-mile ban is simply to guard against the demon clan?

"Your Excellency looks young."

Yue Chen looked at Xie Xuanyi again, and felt that this face looked familiar. He scratched his head and said with a silly smile: "Could it be that he is also..."

"How can there be so many reincarnated real people?"

Xie Xuanyi touched his cheek and explained with a smile: "It's just that I started practicing earlier and spent most of my time meditating in the blessed land of the cave."

"Yes, Taoist masters all look very young."

Yue Chen took a closer look at Xie Xuanyi, and suddenly thought of who this face looked like: "Huh?"

The moment this thought came to mind.

Cold sweat began to seep out of the officer's back.

"Mr. Resident? What's wrong?"

Xie Xuanyi smiled and spoke.

"No...nothing."

Yue Chen quickly shook his head, and in his heart he warned himself not to let his imagination run wild and bring bad luck.

That young swordsman named Xie Dasui had been confirmed dead ten years ago...

"This is Tianxiazhai's 'Purity Talisman'."

Xie Xuanyi took out another talisman from his bosom, handed it to Yue Chen, and said softly: "When practicing, inject vitality into it to ensure that you can focus your mind and energy, and get twice the result with half the effort."

The journey is long.

Xie Xuanyi also drew a few talismans in his spare time. After all, he had no vitality now, and if he got into a fight, he would be essentially no different from a "Qi Refiner".

This so-called purification talisman is actually the "silent note" taught to Deng Baiyi.

These two talismans may sound simple, but they are actually very useful. Moreover, after learning them thoroughly, they can be extended further and developed into many wonderful uses.

The art of talismans and talismans in the world is divided into different levels.

The Taoist sect undoubtedly holds the top position and no one can match it.

So... whether it is "purity" or "oneness", they can be regarded as the secret of Taoism.

After taking over the Purification Talisman, Yue Chen's mind suddenly became clear and he felt relaxed.

This is definitely a Taoist authentic work!

"Thank you for the gift, Master."

He put his hands together and held the talisman between them, then bowed again respectfully, without any more worries in his mind.

Xie Xuanyi nodded, said no more, and left.

……

……

"Fengsui City is conducting such a strict investigation. What happened?"

As soon as Xie Xuanyi returned to the carriage, Shen Yan couldn't wait to speak.

"Miss Shen, don't worry about that."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "Miss Shen, you only need to remember one thing. I will send you to Tai'an City to meet Xu You. After the matter is done, Xu You will pay you five Qingyuan Pills as a reward."

"..."

Shen Yan had no choice but to ask through gritted teeth: "Master Xie, can you make it cheaper?"

She felt heartbroken when she thought of the price of five Qingyuan Pills.

Entering Fengsui City was easier than expected. It was like the door of a mansion was broken, so you called a locksmith and agreed on a price beforehand... but the locksmith opened the door too quickly and easily, so you couldn't help but want to regret it.

"Of course, I don't want any now."

Xie Xuanyi shouted, "Bai Yi, turn the car around and send Miss Shen back."

"okay!"

Deng Baiyi, who was sitting aside watching the show with his chin in his hand, was rubbing his hands, eager to try it out. He had wanted to do this for a long time.

Shen Yan said in a sad voice: "Five, just five!"

She gave up the idea of bargaining.

Xie Zhen is a stubborn person who refuses to be persuaded or persuaded. She is now doubting... Is this guy really a human being?
"That's it? You should be tougher."

Deng Baiyi was greatly disappointed and sat back down, with a tone of regret in her voice.

Shen Yan had nothing to say, and this time it was her turn to leave the table angrily.

At the beginning, she stuck to Xie Xuanyi because she realized that this young man in white had the highest status and the most say.

If you want to go together, you must get the other party's consent.

The journey from Beijun to Qingzhou is long and there is plenty of time. If she can spend every day with Xie Xuanyi, she will have plenty of opportunities to make this young man fall in love with her and experience the power of the sugar-coated bullet of "beauty".

Now she had completely given up hope.

Instead of staying with Xie Xuanyi, running into obstacles everywhere and getting rejected at every turn, it would be better to go to another place where at least there would be some peace and quiet.

Xie Xuanyi did not stop Shen Yan from leaving the car, but let her go.

Deng Chicheng, who was not far away, was overjoyed. He never expected that such a good thing would come to his doorstep. He gladly accepted the "embracing" of the poor girl. The carriage was suddenly filled with many laughters, but soon, silence returned, and it was a long silence.

"Shen Yan is too purposeful."

Deng Baiyi said angrily: "Only my stupid father believes that this woman was killed because she was innocent and kind. How can anyone who can occupy such a family business in Lingluo Mountain be a good person?"

"Deng Chicheng is not as stupid as you think."

Xie Xuanyi smiled.

Although there were two carriages between them, he could clearly sense the movements inside the front carriage thanks to the flow of his vital energy.

At first, Deng Chicheng greeted politely and expressed his welcome, and the two of them had a very pleasant conversation.

Then Deng Chicheng asked about some things about the Shen family.

Shen Yan was also happy to answer, as it could dispel doubts and prove that she was indeed from Lingluo Mountain.

However, Deng Chicheng did not ask more questions, but quickly ended the topic. From then on, he had been writing something at the desk in the carriage, extremely focused.

Xie Xuanyi was not interested in what he wrote specifically... He took a quick glance at it and it was probably an account book or something like that.

The Deng family had already left Yuzhu Town and were preparing to settle down again, but they were still settling accounts at this time?
Xie Xuanyi just felt that Deng Chicheng was really interesting.

Except for the account book.

Another point.

Although Deng Chicheng looked unreliable and as if he was blinded by lust, after Shen Yan got in the car, he did not have any improper thoughts from beginning to end, whether in conversation or actions.

Given Shen Yan's personality, she would not sell her body for no reason.

Those who are valuable are willing to throw themselves into your arms.

If you are worthless, you probably won’t even have the chance to hold hands.

If Deng Chicheng really wanted to take advantage and made a mistake, Shen Yan would immediately take advantage of the situation and come to him to complain in a horrified manner.

After all, the transaction of five Qingyuan Pills has been completed, and I have to take care of a few things before arriving in Tai'an City.

Although Deng Baiyi didn't know what was going on with her father.

But she heard the first laughter very clearly.

Recalling the scene when Deng Chicheng insisted on letting Shen Yan get in the car.

She snorted unhappily and complained in a low voice: "What good is there in men?"

　"zzzz——"
