kill the immortal

Chapter 44, Chapter 44

There was no time to have any more thoughts in his heart, An Yan bowed and said: "The minister has already relayed the words of Tianhou yesterday to Yu Xiang."

Tianhou paused, and said calmly, "What did he say?"

"Yu Xiang didn't say much, but let the minister settle down to his own responsibility."

Tianhou's expression was calm, as if she had expected it to be like this, she just said "um", then stopped making a sound, and turned her gaze to the book in her hand.

Seeing this, An Yan retreated behind the screen.

It seems that Shi Rong did a good job as he told her, and the court ladies around Tianhou were also affected.

Then why alone has no effect on the Empress Dowager?
Is it because the dose is not enough?
But there has never been such an example before. What is so special about this day queen?
Could it be that she is also a monk?A monk who is at the same level as Daoist Xuanyi, or at a higher level!

After thinking about it carefully, An Yan felt that it was impossible. Nie Nanyan could tell his own physique at a glance. Even Shi Lengcen, who was not a monk, could see that he was in the Qi state. It seemed that he was the only monk in the city who was nothing. I understand Xiaobai, if the Empress Dowager was also a monk, she wouldn't have asked Master Xuanyi those questions yesterday.

All morning, An Yan was full of confusion.

An Yan didn't come out of the Fuluan Hall until lunch time, and the living man didn't have to be by Tianhou's side all the time, except for important events, he only needed to roughly write down Tianhou's day's itinerary.

When Shi Rong sent him out, An Yan couldn't help asking again if she had followed his instructions yesterday, and Shi Rong also gave an affirmative answer.

"Lord An, you seem to be very concerned about whether Tianhou can smell the fragrance?" Shi Rong hesitated.

"Is there anything special about it?"

"It's nothing. I plan to make incense in private. If the Queen of Heaven thinks this incense is good, it must be a treasure and priceless." An Yan said slowly.

Shi Rong couldn't help reminding: "Master An, the crime of smuggling is not small!"

An Yan said: "It's true, Tianhou is not aware of this fragrance now, it's normal after all, and there's no need to take any more risks."

After thinking about it, Shi Rong said, "Master An, don't worry, I will keep this matter to myself."

"Of course I trust Lord Shi, otherwise I wouldn't have told you these things." An Yan smiled lightly.

Shi Rong was immediately moved, looked around, and whispered to An Yan: "Master An...it's still early."

Walking to the long unmanned alley again, Shi Rong couldn't help getting closer to An Yan, and reached out to grab An Yan's hand.

An Yan smiled and said, "I heard that Master Shi has adopted many goddaughters."

Shi Rong was a little surprised, but still nodded and said: "Yes... some are clever and sensible, and want to find me as a backer."

Shi Rong is only in her 30s and [-]s, and in An Yan's opinion, she is not old at all.

An Yan leaned into her ear and said, "But why do I still hear that Lord Shi actually recognizes those goddaughters for the purpose of grinding mirrors?"

Shi Rong was stunned for a moment, annoyed and anxious all of a sudden, she said in embarrassment: "Master An, who told you this!"

An Yan smiled and said: "This matter can reach my ears, does Lord Shi still care who I listen to?"

Shi Rong's face turned red and then pale, and then couldn't help explaining to An Yan: "Master An, I..."

"Master Shi, don't worry. Even if these things are true, I didn't say I dislike them. As you said before, people in the palace always need something to amuse themselves."

Shi Rong's face was flushed with embarrassment, this kind of embarrassing thing has spread to the ears of outsiders, and let Mr. An know about it!

Will he loathe himself for this, and feel disgusted...

And An Yan continued to whisper in her ear: "To tell you the truth, I really want to know what Master Shi was like when he did that."

Shi Rong misunderstood An Yan's meaning, and after thinking about it, she said: "If Mr. An is interested, I can arrange a few good maids for you to entertain. Don't worry about accidents. If you accidentally become pregnant, I will be fine. Handled it for you."

She paused, thought for a while, and then continued: "Or, if the girl in the palace, Mrs. An, has a crush on someone, just ask, and I can arrange to be sent to your house to serve you. People in the palace are very obedient and easy to train. A beauty bowl, a beauty paper, it’s still no problem.”

Beauty bowl, beauty paper...

An Yan's brows twitched involuntarily. He had heard from Yu Huanzhang that the nobles in Chang'an seemed to be very happy with this kind of thing.

Luoyang's side is full of family members of officials, and at the feet of Tianhou, no one dares to go too far.

He said: "Master Shi misunderstood, I really don't dislike Master Shi for doing those things."

Shi Rong remained silent, pursed her lips, turned around and walked forward.

Seeing this, An Yan smiled and said no more.

not yet.

Just after waking up from her lunch break, the palace maid came to report that Master Xuanyi was already waiting for her.

As the Taoist head of Xuanzong of Xuanzhen Sect, Xuanyi Daoist has a comprehensive knowledge of the past and the present, can talk about scriptures and lectures, and can also annotate texts to solve doubts.

Dressed neatly, Tianhou walked out of the inner hall, and saw Master Xuanyi standing in front of the incense burner, with a veil covering his face, holding a dust whisk in his arms, and staring at the wisps of white smoke above.

"what happened?"

"Today's fragrance is a bit special." Master Xuanyi said.

"I didn't smell it. It feels the same as yesterday. It shouldn't be time to change the incense yet." Tian Hou sat in front of the red sandalwood desk and said calmly.

Master Xuanyi was silent for a while, his eyes flickered, and he said, "Maybe I made a mistake."

Tianhou looked at Master Xuanyi thoughtfully, so she also got up and walked to the incense burner, bowed her head and sniffed carefully, but still didn't notice any difference.

"That's why you made a mistake," she said.

Master Xuanyi walked to the front of the case, picked up a book, flipped through it and said, "Today we will talk about easy things."

Tianhou also sat back in her seat.

"let's start."

……

After more than half an hour, Master Xuanyi walked out of the Fuluan Hall, and saw a court lady carrying snacks to the hall.

She stepped forward and stopped him.

"What's the real deal?"

Master Xuanyi looked at her and said, "Have you met the new living man?"

"You mean Mrs. An?" the maid asked in a low voice.

"Ah."

"See you, you're still here this morning."

"What do you think of him?" Master Xuanyi asked.

The palace maid couldn't help being stunned for a moment, she raised her head slightly to look at Master Xuanyi, her face soon turned red with embarrassment.

"I……"

A gleam flashed in Xuanyi's quiet eyes.

"It's okay, you can go to work."

into the night.

A new house on the bank of Yunhu Lake.

Here, An Yan saw Shi Lengcen who had disappeared for a few days.

"Mr. An! I got the complete design!" Shi Lengcen looked a little excited when he saw An Yan, and took out a thick stack of papers from his arms.

This so-called design drawing is extremely professional, and An Yan felt like reading a book from heaven just by glancing at it, and after roughly flipping through it, he found that there were hundreds of pages!
"Do you understand?" An Yan asked.

"The design drawing is very clear, of course I can understand it." Shi Lengcen said, and felt that this remark was inappropriate, so he added: "Mr. An has not delved into mechanics, so it's normal to not understand it."

Of course, An Yan knew this in her heart, and after thinking about it, she asked, "Didn't you sneak out before, and this time you went home again?"

Shi Lengcen smiled and said: "My godmother is out of the city, and the uncles in the factory can't stop me."

"What about your father?" An Yan asked again.

Shi Lengcen shook his head and said: "Daddy has been missing for a long time, and even the godmother doesn't know where he went. He only left a letter when he left, saying that he was looking for something, and he will come back when he finds it."

An Yan was thoughtful, looked at the thick design drawings on the desk case, took a closer look, and found that the production method of each part was detailed on it.

"To make the Thousand Clever Spirit Bone, do we need some professional equipment?"

Shi Lengcen nodded and said: "Yes, I have to wait until the period of tribute between the two countries is over before I can leave the city."

"How long will it take to make it?"

Shi Lengcen thought for a while and said: "If it goes well, it will take a year. I have seen the design drawing. I have never seen many parts on it. It may be a little troublesome."

An Yan looked at the end of the design drawings, the finished picture, and the appearance of various forms, and said for a long time: "Your father is really an amazing man."

Shi Lengcen immediately said proudly: "That's natural! In mechanics, no one is better than my father!"

An Yan rubbed her head and said with a smile: "You are also very good, I believe you will become the same character as your father."

Shi Lengcen nodded seriously, and then laughed again.

After looking at the blueprint, An Yan asked again: "Doesn't this thousand-smart spirit bone need a life needle?"

"The physique of monks is different from that of ordinary people, and it can be driven without the life needle."

While the two were discussing, Shi Lengcen, who was originally in high spirits, suddenly felt sleepy, propped his hands on the table, and his eyelids began to fight.

"what happened to you?"

"Mr. An, I...so sleepy..."

An Yan suddenly felt a chill behind him, turned around instantly, and found a snow-white figure appeared there at some time.

His heartbeat slowed down by half a beat.

Master Xuanyi stood in mid-air, his eyes were cold, and his voice was devoid of emotion.

"I was still wondering why you insisted on entering the palace... When did you discover that you have the ability to deceive people?"

She did know!
An Yan said in his heart, and then calmed down: "I also discovered it by accident. The real person didn't tell me at the beginning, so I can only slowly explore on my own."

"Are you blaming me?" Daoist Xuanyi glanced at him, and then at Shi Lengcen who had already passed out on the ground.

"Tell you, let you just play with people's hearts like this?"

An Yan said: "I just want to survive and protect myself."

Master Xuanyi sneered and said, "You are trying to confuse the Queen of Heaven, is this also for survival? I see that you clearly have evil intentions and want to hold the whole Xuantang in your palm!"

"The real person thinks highly of me, I'm not that ambitious." An Yan shrugged.

"The Queen of Heaven has murderous intentions towards me, I just want to prevent problems before they happen."

Master Xuanyi stared at An Yan, and said for a long time: "I have already said that I will save your life, why do you have to behave like this, the queen of heaven is the master of Xuantang, of course she is different from ordinary people, don't you know that you are looking for death? ?”

An Yan took a deep breath and said, "It won't happen in the future."

"Who have you used this ability on?"

"She's the only one." An Yan pointed to Shi Lengcen who was on the ground.

Seeing Master Xuanyi staring at him, he said again: "In addition, how many people are around Tianhou, I don't know the exact number, nothing else."

An Yan knew that Master Xuanyi might have found her through clues from the palace, so she simply pushed those maids out.

Master Xuanyi lightly raised his hand, and the design on the table immediately flew into her hand.

"If Shi Ling knows that you dare to treat his daughter like this, do you know what will happen?"

"I don't know."

Master Xuanyi sneered: "He is kind to all the monks in Xuantang. He only needs to give an order, and countless people will come to take your life. Do you still expect me to protect you?"

An Yan showed no signs of fear, and said calmly, "Then it's better not to let him know."

Master Xuanyi originally wanted to say that An Yan didn't know how to live or die, but An Yan said: "Why should the real person be worried and timid? I dare to do these things, so I naturally have a way out."

Master Xuanyi frowned and said, "All Xuantang cultivators are cautious in their words and deeds, walking on thin ice, and none of them are as bold as you!"

"That's why they can only hide in the dark forever."

Master Xuanyi's expression froze.

"What do you want to do?" she asked slowly.

"I don't want to do anything. Now that I know it's useless to the Queen of Heaven, I can't take risks anymore. Everything I do is just to live a better life. Daoist, you are my benefactor. No matter what, I won't Harm you."

Master Xuanyi looked at An Yan without saying a word, but his thoughts were racing.

Once the tribute matter is over, make full preparations, take his Yuanyang... then it's all over.

It's really dangerous to keep such a person!
