Film and TV: Starting from the Night Watchman of Dafeng

Chapter 79 Xu Pingfeng, ah Xu Pingfeng, why did you provoke Wei An?
this day
The bare forests in winter provide excellent visibility.

On the top of a mountain, clear light and brightness seemed to emerge from the void, spreading and becoming thicker in an instant, scaring away two wild deer that were foraging.

Wei An, Nangong Qianrou, Yang Qianhuan, and Yang Yan each received some silver gongs and bronze gongs.

Nangong Qianrou glanced at the winding mountains in the distance and said, "Today is the last day. Once the imperial edict arrives tomorrow, you will have to leave even if you don't want to."

"You have to leave even if you don't want to."

Wei An corrected.

The capital will not allow the governor's team to stay in the area for long.

"My adoptive father made it clear in the letter that he has something important to tell you and wants you to return to Beijing as soon as possible. Besides, it will be the beginning of spring in one or two months. Have you given up on your rice experiment?" Nangong Qianrou said.

Wei An frowned.

My uncle is not the kind of person who talks nonsense.

If he said something was wrong, then it must be true.

"As soon as I leave Yunzhou, I'm afraid Mr. Sanxi will die the next day."

Wei An sighed.

Nangong Qianrou was silent.

"I told you long ago that this sorcerer is between the second and third ranks. It would be difficult to break his formation without the teacher's personal presence."

Yang Qianhuan interrupted at the right time.

You also said that your attainments in formation are unmatched.

"Achievements are achievements, strength is strength. If you practice that boxing every day, no matter how exquisite it is, or how many boxing techniques you practice, can you make up for the gap in martial arts realm with Nangong Jinluo without using Confucian abilities?"

Yang Qianhuan seemed to guess what he was thinking and said.

You are the one who says both good and bad things, right?

Wei An sighed softly and cheered up.

He was really using his ability to boost his spirits, and after twenty days of sleeplessness, only the last day remained.

When he was halfway through searching the mountain yesterday, he felt a swelling and discomfort between his eyebrows.

"Search," he said.

The crowd dispersed in two groups.

There are still some dead leaves in the woods, which occasionally make a series of crackling sounds when stepped on. From time to time, strange bird calls can be heard in the sky. Across a small stream, you can see a few moles running away in fright.

It has quite a wild charm, but I don't have time to appreciate it.

"Ok?"

Nangong Qianrou beside him suddenly made a strange sound.

He glanced around at the quiet forest just like before, with a look of vigilance between his brows.

Wei An also realized that something was wrong.

There was no more movement of wild animals!
Suddenly, the light under his feet quickly expanded.

One after another, several magic circles rose up together in an instant.

Some formations ignited blazing flames, some formations flashed lightning, some formations were filled with knife and sword energy, and some formations infinitely widened the distance between Wei An, Nangong Qianrou and others!

So many things intertwined and perfectly blended!
Wei An took out the saint's carving knife from his sleeve without any hesitation.

"Heaven and earth have righteous energy, which flows in all forms."

The heroic spirit of the Confucian sage stretches out behind him!

Go all out!

He would never feel that it is a waste to use a cannon to kill a mosquito!

"This place is forbidden by the magic circle!"

He spoke, and the heroic spirit of the Confucian sage also spoke.

The voice is like summer thunder, upright, mighty and unstoppable!

The light of the formation dissipated visibly to the naked eye.

"laugh."

A light teasing sound was heard in the void.

"Play with you."

The light of the formation suddenly became brighter!

"Rat!"

Wei An sneered.

With a wave of the carving knife in his hand, the space where the tip of the knife pointed cracked and then slowly healed.

"This place is forbidden to form formations!"

Wei An shouted again.

"You are in my world, my words are my deeds, how many backlashes can you bear?"

The light of the magic circle was suppressed again, and the voice sounded again.

"I can play with you all day long!"

"This place is forbidden by the magic circle!"

Wei An fired again.

Then he said coldly, "Your world? You are just competing with a Confucian scholar."

Mouthless?

Xu Pingfeng, who was hiding somewhere, frowned slightly.

This kid is really a big trouble!

But he never regrets it.

If I can't kill this guy now, there will always be a chance to get rid of him!
Wei An took advantage of the moment when Wen Qi was fully recovered and shouted, "This is not your world!"

The magic circle immediately showed signs of collapse!

At this moment, Xu Pingfeng even felt that the refined Yunzhou luck was biting back at him!

No more delay!

He looked at Wei An, pride flashing in his eyes.

Just as he imagined, if the consumption is too great, the heroic spirits of the Confucian scholars summoned by this boy will also dissipate.

Finally, there is the time when I am exhausted!
"Deal with him!"

He gave the order and disappeared from the spot.

The next moment after Xu Pingfeng left, the fusion magic circle completely shattered and disintegrated.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

The moment the scene before his eyes returned to reality, two crossbow arrows flew straight towards his face.

Do you really think he is a weak scholar?

He is also a warrior in the realm of refining spirit!
"Dang! Dang!"

Two crisp sounds in succession!

It was Nangong Qianrou who cut the two crossbow arrows with the tip of her knife.

"Come die!"

A man in black wearing a conical hat leaped over from the front, holding a big knife in his hand, and rushed straight towards Wei An.

Nangong Qianrou stepped forward and chopped him back with one blow.

The other six men in black immediately stood in a strange line, gathering their energy, and then joined forces one by one, finally adding all of it to the man in black wearing the bamboo hat.

"Combined attack technique!"

Nangong Qian's expression became a little solemn.

The black-clothed man at the front was holding a sword that must be a magic weapon. The sword's aura was so powerful that it surpassed that of a fourth-grade warrior and was almost comparable to that of a third-grade warrior.

"Heaven and earth have righteous energy, which flows in all forms."

As he raised his sword and prepared for battle, Wei An's poem rang out again behind him.

Invite the Confucian saint again?

Not only was Nangong Qianrou stunned, the seven men in black opposite her even froze in their tracks.

It’s really... too bullying!

A spirit deer jumped out from the sky first, and then the figure of Yun Yasheng wearing a Confucian cap appeared.

Wei An covered his face with his right palm, and Yun Yasheng did the same.

The seven men in black suddenly felt a great force pressing down on them, like the sea or the abyss, with no end, extremely strong and difficult to resist.

The man in black at the front raised his sword towards the sky with all his strength and slashed with it tremblingly.

The sword energy climbed up with difficulty, as if it was supporting a mountain.

At a certain moment, the sword energy shattered!
"boom!"

Along with the loud noise, dust and broken leaves rose half a foot high.

The spiritual deer in the sky and Yun Yasheng disappeared.

Nangong Qianrou and several silver and bronze gongs looked at the seven men in black. They were lying on the ground in strange shapes, with blood oozing from their limbs. Even if they were not dead, they were only breathing their last breath.

"go!"

Wei An quickly stood at the point closest to Nangong Qianrou and the others, and the clear light engulfed everyone.

He disappeared and reappeared, and disappeared again. When he finally appeared, he was met with a pair of astonished eyes.

"The sorcerer didn't come to attack you?" Nangong Qianrou asked in confusion.

Even if a group of fourth-rank men in black had the ability to attack together, how could they possibly deal with Wei An?

Folks like this can be killed by the Buddhist Shura Vajra Dufan with one punch, but where is Dufan now?
Wei An should have killed him long ago!

The sorcerer's intention was obviously to use these seven people to hold Wei An back.

Wei An and he both realized this, and rushed to Yang Yan's side in a hurry. Yang Yan's eyes were a little complicated, "He came, and then he left."

Nangong Qianrou frowned.

What does this mean?
Wei An glanced at everyone, "Is everyone okay?"

Amidst the sparse affirmative responses, Xu Qian'an's expression seemed a little off.

"Go back." Wei An said.

Without waiting for Nangong Qianrou's response, Qingguang brought them back to where they had fought.

The seven men in black had disappeared, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground.

Wei An thought for a moment, took out a booklet from his sleeve, tore off a page, dipped it in the blood on the ground, and then lit it with his Qi.

"Is this... a killing curse?"

Nangong Qianrou confirmed.

"Come on, don't be idle, come together." Wei An tore off a few pieces of paper and called out to him.

Nangong Qianrou took it and looked at the killing curse in her hand. For a moment, she felt a little sympathy for these people.

Why did you provoke him?

However, this sympathy was only momentary, and he happily devoted himself to cursing the seven people.

...

Qianlong City

"National Division!"

"Father!"

Xu Pingfeng straightened his messy white clothes and looked at the middle-aged man in elegant clothes and a young girl walking towards him.

"What are you doing here? Go back." Xu Pingfeng said to the girl.

His tone was cold, not quite worthy of the girl calling him 'father'.

At this moment, the seven men in black at his feet twitched one after another, and then the light in their eyes went out.

Xu Pingfeng leaned over to check, his face darkening, "Killing Curse!"

"National Master, the Seven Azure Dragons are..."

The middle-aged man in Chinese clothes was a little bit unbelievable.

Canglong Qishu has been carrying out missions in the martial arts world for many years and has never been defeated. How could he die today?

"Wei An is a bit difficult to deal with."

"Don't worry, City Lord. I already have the chips to kill him."

As Xu Pingfeng spoke, a magic circle lit up under his feet, and when he finished speaking, it disappeared from the spot.

The Imperial Master works really hard.

The middle-aged man in elegant clothes looked at the seven people lying lifeless on the ground. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Come here, collect the bodies of these seven people."

……

Yunzhou Provincial Government Office

"He's back, he's back, Mr. Wei is back."

The yamen runner on duty came to report.

Li Mubai and other people from the academy went out to greet them.

"Master Li!"

Wei An was somewhat surprised to see Li Mubai. His eyes fell on Li Mubai's official robes and he understood, "Are you the new governor of Yunzhou?"

His tone wasn't quite right, and wasn't as cheerful as the call of "Master Li".

Li Mubai smiled and said, "Although Yunzhou is no different from Qingzhou, it finally gives you and your teacher a place to show your skills."

Wei An swept his solemn gaze over the crowd behind him. There were twenty-eight people, and he could name 70% of them.

He frowned and said, "Master Li, fellow brothers, can you listen to me?"

"Wei An, Nangong Qianrou, Yang Yan, everyone, come quickly to receive the order."

A sharp voice broke in.

Wei An's gaze pierced over.

Didn’t it mean it will arrive tomorrow?
The eunuch was frightened by his eyes.

Zhang Xingying stepped forward at the right moment and said, "All is well, Nangong Jinluo, Yang Jinluo, Zhao Yinluo, Tang Yinluo...Eunuch Mo specially rushed and arrived a day early. Hurry and receive the order."

No matter how much Wei An resisted in his heart, he had to go with the flow now.

Zhang Xingying has already set up the altar.

Wei An lit incense on behalf of everyone, and the eunuch began to announce the decree.

Wei An listened to the contents of the imperial edict and thought about how to get Master Li and a group of senior students from the academy to go back.

Yunzhou is not a place to realize your ambitions at all; it's truly a cemetery!
After receiving the imperial edict, he was in no mood to celebrate with everyone else. He winked at Nangong Qianrou and Yang Yan, and led Master Li and a group of academy seniors to the side hall.

Nangong Qianrou and Yang Yan exchanged a few words of congratulations with the other silver gongs and bronze gongs, then chased after them.

……

After half a cup of tea
"Master Li, this is definitely not a good place. You should resign immediately and return to Beijing." After explaining the situation in detail, Wei An said sincerely.

If you don't serve as an official today, you can still do it tomorrow.

You only have one life.

"How can it be so easy to resign? And if so many people resign at the same time, won't the situation that the academy has worked so hard to open up be ruined in our hands?" Li Mubai said solemnly.

The other seniors from the other colleges were also feeling heavy-hearted.

Li Mubai stood up and paced slowly, saying, "They pretended to be bandits and robbed young men, women, and children to accumulate population. If I'm not mistaken, the military supplies and other contraband that Song Changfu and others had previously sent to the bandits and vagrants have actually fallen into the hands of this villain."

"Although there is no concrete evidence, it should be so." Nangong Qianrou said.

Li Mubai sighed and said sternly, "How can I allow others to snore beside my bed?"

"The Wushen Cult and these bandits hiding in the mountains must be executed!"

He looked at Wei An and said, "Nothing's wrong. If we resign and let the people from the Imperial College take over Yunzhou, how can they resist these thieves? But if another group of corrupt officials like Song Changfu emerge, will the people of Yunzhou still have a way to survive?"

"Master Li." Wei An stood up.

"Nothing's wrong. I still remember your ambitious words at the Taiming Pond Polo Field. 'There will be a time to ride the wind and waves, to sail across the vast ocean. What does it matter if it's difficult or dangerous? It's just a little bit of wind and frost.'"

"You've worked so hard to build a future for the academy, and if we retreat when faced with difficulties, won't we just be the ones to reap the benefits?"

Li Mubai's tone softened a bit, but he gave Wei An no more leeway.

"What you said is absolutely right!"

"Nothing's wrong. We are not cowards!"

"No harm, are you looking down on us?"

"... "

Although the words left no room for negotiation, they were said with a smile.

What else could Wei An say?

He looked at Nangong Qianrou, "The imperial edict only said to grant me the title of baron, but did not ask me to return to the capital. I am not under the governor, so it will be fine to delay for a while."

Nangong Qianrou frowned, thought about it, and decided to follow his words, "Naturally"

He also advised, "Now that you have been granted the title, you should return to the capital as soon as possible to the government office to have the register drawn up and receive the fiefdom."

The baron has such a small fiefdom that he probably has to pay money to the tenants.

"No rush, let's wait for ten days or half a month." Wei An said indifferently.

Li Mubai and a group of senior students from the academy looked a little strange.

"I'm fine." Li Mubai's tone also changed slightly.

"Master Li?" Wei An sensed something was wrong.

"I'm fine. You should return to Beijing immediately." Li Mubai said seriously.

Without waiting for Wei An to ask, he said, "You left the capital just two days ago when a man calling himself Wei Feng stormed the Ministry of Justice. Four days ago, he was found dead in Qian'an Hall."

Wei An's pupils trembled.

Nangong Qianrou immediately looked at Yang Yan.

The latter was also shocked when he heard the news.

Seeing Nangong Qianrou looking over, he said, "I don't know what happened afterwards, I only know about this person. My adoptive father told me not to tell you for the time being."

Wei An's mood was somewhat complicated.

He said in a deep voice, "Master Li, please explain it to me in detail."

Seeing him like this, Li Mubai felt that he was secretly insisting on something, and couldn't help but sigh, "That day..."

……

Alandha Mountain, Shifang Buddhist Temple
Still under the giant tree.

When the white-robed sorcerer with a blurred face emerged from the void, within two breaths, the black-haired and barefoot Glazed Bodhisattva also appeared.

"Are you here to apologize?" Liuli Bodhisattva spoke bluntly, without any joy or sadness.

"Buddha, what crime have I committed?" Xu Pingfeng said with a faint smile.

"Avoid lying, perform good deeds, and allow donors to do things that will harm your own blessings. After death, you will fall into the evil path." said Liuli Bodhisattva.

"Is it so terrifying? Bodhisattva, are you lying to me?" Xu Pingfeng remained calm.

Reward?

Luck is just his plaything!

Liuli Bodhisattva looked at him calmly.

Xu Pingfeng got to the point, "I came here today to make a deal with the Bodhisattva. It's for real benefits, not a lie."

Liuli Bodhisattva remained silent, waiting for what was to come.

Xu Pingfeng raised the corner of his mouth, and his smile gradually widened. "Buddha, I know the whereabouts of the sealed object in Sangpo Lake."
