Golden Summoner

After the carriage traveled for five or six kilometers, it came to a carriage platform. Xia Pingan got off the carriage and bid farewell to everyone. After a while, a black carriage came from a distance. The carriage was a private carriage. At the beginning, Pingan didn't pay attention to it, but Xia Pingan's attention shifted to the carriage when the carriage stopped at the bus station.

The door of the carriage opened, and a gentleman with gray hair, a beautiful mustache and a velvet top hat was sitting in the carriage, looking at Xia Ping'an with a smile on his face. The gentleman was playing with half a penny in his hand Ni coins.

"Young man, are you going to the city? I happen to be on my way!" the gentleman in the car said.

Xia Pingan understood at a glance, and without hesitation, he directly got into the carriage and sat opposite the gentleman. Xia Pingan also took out the half coin in his hand and compared it with the coin in the gentleman's hand , the incision patterns and wear marks of the two half-coins are completely consistent, so the identity of the other party is also confirmed.

"Hello, Mr. Coin, I didn't expect to see you so soon!" Xia Pingan said.

"As a newcomer, you performed well in prison today!" Mr. Coin smiled, and then handed Xia Pingan a small book with a khaki cover, "This is the code book I will use to contact you in the future, you'd better Keep in mind the contents of this little book within half an hour. Half of the time, I will contact you through a single line. In the future, the task of the night watchman will be posted on the news section of the second edition of the "Brandy Daily" and newspapers. On the advertisement page, if there is an emergency, my summoned creature and I will come to you in person and convey a message to you. This is my summoned creature, Miss Heidi..."

Mr. Coin was talking, and then, a big orange tabby cat suddenly got out from under the seat, dexterously jumped onto Mr. Coin's palm, and raised his nose to sniff Xia Ping'an's body, and looked at it carefully He glanced at Xia Ping'an, as if he was getting to know Xia Ping'an.

Xia Pingan nodded, and didn't say much, just opened the small book with a khaki cover, and quickly remembered the contents of the small book. The handwriting in the small book was all handwritten. A cipher book of cipher codes and translation methods. If you master the contents of this book, you can receive corresponding information from newspapers.

It took Xia Pingan more than ten minutes to memorize the contents of the password book firmly.

"I want to know how many people know this codebook?" Xia Pingan returned the codebook to Mr. Coin.

"This set of passwords is only used by the two of us, and I know it!" Mr. Coin explained, "According to the tradition of the night watchman, and to protect you, everyone in the night watchman team uses code names to communicate, and cannot use their real names. After you join the night watchman team, you can only use a code name or another name. You can give yourself a code name and a new name now. This code name must be the only one in the night watchman team. Used when contacting..."

Xia Pingan blurted out without thinking much, "My name in the Night Watchman is Ajaro!"

"Ajaluo, this name can be used!" Mr. Coin said, and with a movement of his hand, a long suitcase appeared, and he handed the suitcase to Xia Pingan, "The top thing in this suitcase is yours. As the equipment of the night watchmen, when performing tasks, the night watchmen have uniform equipment and masks, so that they cannot reveal their true colors. The storage compartment on the lower level of the box contains your certificate as an inspector of the Koland Investigation Bureau. The salary passbook and other necessary things have been handled for you!" Mr. Coin explained very methodically.

"Does that mean I don't have to go to the Bureau of Investigation anymore?"

"No need, everything has been settled, you take that passbook, you can go to Red Ron Bank on the 8th of each month to receive a monthly salary of 45 Thaler, which is also the second-level secret police inspector of the Colander Investigation Bureau Salary, the night watchman does not have a fixed salary, after each mission, the mission reward subsidy will be distributed to your passbook."

"Let me ask, is there anything I need to do as an inspector of the Koland Investigation Bureau on the surface?"

"No, this position is just your superficial identity. It is very free, and at the same time it is also kept secret to a certain extent. There are only two people in the investigation bureau who know your identity as an inspector. They will not give you any orders. Give you Only the Night's Watch is giving orders!"

"Understood, that is to say, when there is no order, it is okay for me to do some money-making work myself?"

"Of course, as long as it is not illegal, both inspectors and night watchmen will have other social identities as a cover. No one will write the words inspector and night watchman on their face. As an inspector , Different identities will also help you get in touch with different people and get better news, as long as your new identities don't affect the mission!"

"Understood!"

"Do you have any other questions?"

"Of course, I want to know how to get Jiezhu to improve my strength? Will the night watchman give Jiezhu?" This question is what Xia Pingan is most concerned about.

"The quest rewards of the night watchmen include world beads, and at the same time, night watchmen can exchange or buy world beads in the night watchman club!"

"Night Watchman Club!" Xia Pingan came to his senses all of a sudden, "How do I join this club?"

"After performing three tasks of the night watchmen and getting the approval of other night watchmen, you will receive an invitation from the night watchman club, and you will know when the time comes..."

"When will there be a mission?"

"Anytime from tomorrow, so, I suggest you find a fixed foothold in Kelande, and then order a copy of the "Brandy Daily". All tasks will be issued at least one day in advance. I will use urgent tasks Other ways to contact you! Still have questions?"

"It's gone for now!"

"Where are you going, I will send you by the way!"

"I'll just get off at Saints Square. I heard that the environment there is not bad. There are many hotels and hotels nearby, so I'll get off there!"

……

An hour later, Xia Pingan got off the carriage at the Saints Square in Colland.

Until the carriage left, Xia Pingan didn't know the real identity of Mr. Coin.

Saints Square is not in the city center, and the square is not very lively during the daytime. There are pigeons on the square, people sitting on chairs chatting, and several painters are writing and drawing on the edge of the square with drawing boards.

In the middle of the square, there is a bronze statue of Saint Lino. On the south side of Saints Square, there is a magnificent church. Corresponding to the church is a bell tower.

Xia Ping'an's eyes wandered around, and followed the left hand of the saint statue to look at the third street lamp on the side of the square. The street lamp was behind several plane trees, and the stone bricks paved under the street lamp were like The petals spread out, and one of the stone bricks just pointed in the direction of the clock tower of the square.

Thinking of what was under the rock, Xia Ping'an felt a little restless in his heart, but in broad daylight, he could only hold back and wait until night when there were fewer people.

There are hotels and commercial areas near this square, you can find a place to live here first...

Chapter 864 Equipment

Xia Pingan strolled around the Saints Square, observed the surrounding environment and terrain, and then carried his old suitcase and walked towards the green avenue to the east of the square.

This suitcase was originally stored by Xia Pingan in the space of his secret mandala before. After receiving the box from Mr. Coin, the space Xia Pingan opened up in the secret mandala before was not enough. I can take out this suitcase of my own.

For a young man who has just arrived, the suitcase in his hand has become a kind of cover instead.

There are many hotels and hotels around this green boulevard, the environment is fairly quiet, and it is not far from the square, just enough to find a place to stay.

After walking a few hundred meters, Xia Pingan saw a three-story family hotel with light green walls and a yard. The outer walls of the hotel were covered with emerald green coral vines. The couple were cutting flowers and watering the yard, so he knocked on the door outside the yard and walked in.

"Excuse me, is there any room here?"

Hearing Xia Ping'an's voice, the old man who was cutting flowers and plants with big scissors put down the scissors in his hands, took off the straw hat on his head and walked over. He took a look at Xia Ping'an and showed a kind smile on his face. "There is another room upstairs, do you live alone?"

"Yes, I live alone, can I have a look?"

"Of course!" The old man had already walked over, "I'll take you up..."

Going around the path in the garden, we arrived at the house. The furniture of this family hotel is not very new, it seems that it has been a few years old, but it is very tidy and clean. There are still vases in the living room and in the corridor. The flowers picked from the garden, the light brown floor tiles on the ground are a little faded, but they are spotless. The old man led Xia Pingan through the living room on the first floor, followed the stairs to the second floor, on the second floor near the back of the house At the back of the street, there is another room with everything in it. The bedding on the bed is as clean as new, with a smell of sunshine.

This room is clean and secluded, and it's okay if you stay temporarily, Xia Pingan nodded secretly.

Xia Pingan asked about the price.

"This room is 3 Ding Ning a day, with breakfast, it can be cheaper if you stay for a long time, but you have to pay first!" said the old man.

Xia Pingan paid the room fee for three days readily, and quickly checked in. He also learned about the other tenants from the landlord. This small family hotel has only four rooms, except for Xia Ping'an. Besides, in two of the other three rooms, there are two honeymooning couples from Salem City. Those two young couples are friends. They got married together and came to Keland for their honeymoon together. They are very happy couples. , had spent two days in the inn, and had a room occupied by an actress working at the Colander Opera House.

The people in those three rooms all go out at dawn in the morning and come back at night. During the day, the family hotel is basically very clean, there are not many people, and the people living in it are very simple.

As soon as the landlord left, Xia Pingan locked the door of the room, drew a layer of curtains, and put his suitcase in the closet. After checking the condition of the room, Xia Pingan finally let out a long breath.

Today, four death-row prisoners were executed in the prison for serious criminals in Brandy Province, especially the last prisoner, which made the giant tower in Xia Ping'an's secret mandala extract a full 32 points of divine power, plus the previous three death-row prisoners provided The 21 points of divine power and the remaining 2 points of the previous killer, the divine power group on the spire of the giant tower already has 55 points.

The divine power in the sky caisson of the secret mandala temple recovered 10 points before, but today it consumed 3 points when using the ice cone, and there are still 7 points left. When the divine power on both sides is added together, there are already 62 points.

As a summoner, Xia Ping'an felt confident as long as he had divine power.

This trip to the prison was very rewarding. The most important point was that Xia Ping'an confirmed one thing, as long as he eliminated the scum himself, the giant tower would have divine power to deal with it.

The killer named Sigs Cannell's supernatural power is only 3 points, which is considered low. Almost everyone in the death row in the felony prison has more supernatural power than that killer.

Xia Pingan didn't know why this happened. He guessed that maybe the killer's killing was a professional requirement, and those death row inmates in the felony prison committed murder because of their own choice, which was even more evil. More.

Xia Pingan felt the giant tower seriously again, and almost at the moment of his thoughts, in his consciousness, he clearly saw four more people struggling and howling in the flames in the cell under the giant tower. The soul of the four death row prisoners killed by him today, not a few of them, are all inside.

There must be something that can be asked from the mouths of the four condemned prisoners, but now is not the time to ask, and we will talk about it later in the evening.

After confirming the situation in the giant tower, Xia Pingan took out the box that Mr. Coin gave him from the warehouse of the secret mandala, put the box on the table and opened it.

There are many things in the box.

On the top layer of the box are the things of the night watchmen. Xia Pingan saw a black mage robe, a sterling silver angel mask with downcast eyes, a pair of blood-red gloves, a pair of combat boots, this outfit , wearing it on the body, you can feel the powerful aura just by imagining it, which is absolutely exciting.

Xia Pingan looked at the angel mask, and found that the angel mask was actually a magic weapon. As long as the mask was close to his face, the mask would automatically attach to his face. The mask was very breathable, and the blue crystals on the eyes still had It has night vision effect, and when speaking while wearing a mask, the voice will be changed by the mask, so that it is difficult for others to identify the identity of the person wearing the mask through the sound.

That pair of red gloves is also a magic weapon, forged from the fusion of metal wire and a special kind of leather. Wearing it on the hands will not affect the casting of spells. At the same time, it can also use weapons. At the critical moment, it is probably impossible for these gloves to pick up the sword with bare hands. question.

Opening the storage compartment under the box, Xia Pingan saw a certificate of an inspector of the Colander Investigation Bureau with the badge of the Investigation Bureau, a red leather passbook of Red Ron Bank, and a copy of "Inspector's Work" Manual", and a black revolver in a holster, with dozens of rounds of yellow and orange pistol bullets.

These things are what I will wear for dinner in the future.

Putting the items in the box back into the secret mandala, Xia Pingan cheered up and left the room.

After finding a restaurant outside for dinner, it was getting dark, and Xia Ping'an was already a little ready to move...

Chapter 865 Green Messenger

The night was getting dark, and the clock tower on the Saints Square in Keland City was about to point to [-]:[-].

At this time, the surrounding square was completely silent, even the pigeons had returned to their nests, and there was no one in the square, only some buildings near the square were faintly lit.

The nearest carriage passed by the road east of the square 10 minutes ago. A few patrolling policemen did not show up here after nine o'clock.

Xia Ping'an was lying on a chair under a dim street lamp on the east side of the square. On the floor of the chair were two beer bottles lying down, like a drunk resting on the side of the square.

For this kind of people drinking and lying on the side of the square, they may be tourists or homeless people. No one cares about them at all, and even the patrolling police are too lazy to come and check.

After confirming that no one around the square would pay attention to him, Xia Pingan finally opened his eyes, and at the same time he understood why the killer brought Dong XZ here.

"Grandma, that killer named Sigs Cannell really has a big brain. He actually thought that it would be the safest place to leave his things in this place, in public, and come here when he is about to run away." It’s true that no one notices when you take the thing out…”

Xia Pingan muttered something, then slowly got up from the reclining chair, pretending to be drunk, and walked towards the street lamp more than ten meters away.

The street lamp was dark, and there was a hole in the lampshade above. I don’t know how long it had been broken. Anyway, no one came to repair it. There were a few plane trees beside the street lamp, and the ground happened to be in the shadow area where the plane trees intersected. Inside, when it's dark, the shadow area is pitch black, and you can't see anything at a little distance.

Xia Pingan walked to the side of the street lamp, stepped on the floor tile on the ground pointing to the clock tower of the square, and then squatted down, just took out a dagger and inserted it into the gap between the floor tiles, pried it, then A floor tile was pried off the ground, and then Xia Pingan grabbed the floor tile, picked it up from the ground, and scraped the sand-mixed soil under the floor tile twice with his hands, touching it all at once. Arrived in a box wrapped in oilcloth.

Quickly put the box back into the space warehouse that I opened up, and then quickly put the floor tiles in the original flavor. The whole process was completed in five seconds, and it was indeed invisible.

Then Xia Pingan walked out of the shadow formed by the plane trees and walked towards the house he rented during the day.

Just over ten minutes later, Xia Ping'an had successfully arrived outside the family hotel.

A carriage was parked by the wall outside the hotel. When Xia Ping'an arrived, right next to the carriage, a man was hugging a woman leaning against the carriage and kissing reluctantly. The two people who were pulling the carriage A big black horse snorted, and through the faint light from the second floor of the family hotel, one could see that the man was a middle-aged man, wearing a black coat and a bowler hat, well-dressed, and the woman was wearing blue In a long black dress, with a pretty face, and a fox fur scarf around her, the two embraced each other with their arms around their necks.

The sound of Xia Pingan's footsteps startled the two of them, and the two of them separated at once. They looked towards this side. Xia Pingan glanced at the two of them, but didn't care, and pushed open the door of the courtyard of the family hotel. went in.

"Honey, I have to go back tonight. Believe me, I will definitely marry you after I finish dealing with the manor..."

"I believe you, it's just that Stark, the manager of the theater, asked me to go to his office again today. I didn't go, so he asked me to go backstage to sort out the costumes and props. He didn't let me go on stage. I'm fed up..." The woman complained.

"That bastard is harassing you again!" The man couldn't help cursing in a low voice, "Don't worry, I will help you solve this problem..."

The whispering and kissing sounds of the two continued to be heard outside. Xia Pingan had already crossed the yard to the door of the family hotel, took out the key given to him by the landlord, and opened the door.

The room where the landlord and his wife lived on the first floor had no lights, and they were obviously asleep. Xia Pingan closed the door gently, and went upstairs lightly. When he went upstairs, he heard the door below. It was unscrewed again, and then there was the sound of high heels stepping on the stairs.

It seemed to be the woman outside. Although the woman also lowered her footsteps, the sound of high heels was still very obvious.

Xia Pingan returned to his room and looked at the floor of the room. When he left, he sprinkled a little dust on the floor of the door of the room. It would be hard to find without looking carefully. If someone entered the room after he left If he does, he will leave footprints on that layer of dust, and he will find it when he comes back. Looking at it now, that layer of fine dust is intact, which means that no one has come in here after he left the room, and Xia Ping'an also Take it easy.The small rooms in this ordinary family hotel really don't attract attention.

More than ten seconds after closing the door, Xia Pingan heard that the door of the room next to him was also opened. The woman should be an actress working in the opera house.

Xia Pingan came to the bathroom, closed the door of the bathroom, lit the lamp in the bathroom, and then took out the box he got from the underground of Saints Square and put it on the washstand.

The oil cloth on the outside of the box was covered with a lot of sand and was tied with a wire. Xia Pingan untied the wire and washed the layer of sand on the oilcloth on the washstand without leaving any traces. The oilcloth opened to reveal the iron box underneath.

The tin box was an ordinary tin biscuit box, more than 20 centimeters long and seven or eight centimeters high. The edge of the biscuit box was sealed with a layer of waterproof wax, which made it easy to open.

Opening the iron box, two shimmering Boundary Beads appeared in front of Xia Pingan's eyes. Besides the two Boundary Beads, there were also several rolls of banknotes and a bunch of keys.

Those banknotes cost at least five or six hundred thalers, which is not a small sum of money.

Xia Pingan picked up the two boundary beads, and a smile appeared on his face.

One of the two boundary beads is flashing with changing green light, the green light is like the sun's rays shining on the emerald, there is a parrot's light and shadow looming in the boundary beads, and the other boundary bead is colorful, There is a colorful auspicious cloud rolling in the boundary bead.

There are four small seal characters in the green boundary beads, which are the four characters of "Green Clothes Messenger", while the colorful boundary beads have six small seal characters "Tao Hongjing gets the way", these two boundary beads are Xia Pingan's unfused Rare Boundary Beads.

Xia Pingan looked at the bunch of keys again, and at first glance, the bunch of keys was the door key, and he didn't know where it was.

The four words "Envoy in Green Clothes" refer very vaguely, not the names of people, but looking at the parrot in the Boundary Bead, Xia Pingan suddenly remembered an allusion, and instantly understood the purpose of this Boundary Bead. How did they merge? Before, he was envious of Fang Ping being able to summon a parrot and let the parrot pass orders. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, a boundary bead that could summon a parrot appeared in front of him.

As for Tao Hongjing, there are so many stories about such a celebrity, and Xia Ping'an doesn't know when the story in this world pearl will start, but in the history of China, it is a big event for a cultivator to become an immortal and attain the Tao. Tao Hongjing's "Boundary Bead of Dao" can bring extraordinary gains.

"It seems that what Senior Bronze Man said before is true. The boundary beads in the realm of the gods are all boundary beads that are not available in other worlds. This saves me a lot of effort. As long as there are enough boundary beads, my own The realm should be able to improve quickly, alas, it has been a long time since I fused the boundary beads, and the taste of fused boundary beads is really nostalgic..." Xia Pingan put the two boundary beads in his hand to play with , the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and finally he simply put away the boundary bead of "Tao Hongjing Dao", leaving only the boundary bead of "The Messenger in Green", and then he sat on the toilet seat and bit his own. Finger, a drop of blood lightly dripped onto the boundary bead.

Xia Pingan opened his eyes wide and looked at the drop of blood rolling on the boundary bead, but in the blink of an eye, the drop of blood was absorbed by the boundary bead, and then the boundary bead emitted a ball of green light, wrapping Xia Pingan up.

The environment where the Boundary Bead is integrated is indeed a little rough, without much security, it's just in the bathroom, but fortunately, it's still hidden here and won't attract attention. Although it's a bit risky, Xia Ping'an knows this Boundary Bead The fusion will be completed very soon, and it won't take a few minutes. In addition, it has been "many years" since he has not fused the boundary beads. Xia Pingan wanted to try it, so he started the fusion directly in the bathroom.

……

In the world of Jiezhu, as soon as Xia Pingan opened his eyes, he found himself in a magnificent hall. He was wearing a yellow dragon robe and a crown of wings, and he was sitting behind a desk. The maid eunuch, and in front of him, there were still several officials wearing green or scarlet robes, and one of the officials was holding a birdcage in the hand of the birdcage, and there was a beautiful macaw .

"Your Majesty, this parrot is the one that has been widely rumored in the city these days. It helped the officers of the Jingzhao Mansion solve the case of the disappearance of the rich man Yang Chongyi in Chang'an City. This parrot is quite spiritual and can understand human speech..." Take The official with the birdcage was introducing Xia Pingan.

Xia Pingan has already entered the role in an instant. He knows that his role at the moment is Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.

"Oh, if there is such a thing, I have heard people talking about this strange case in the palace. What is the case, let's hear it!" Xia Pingan showed interest.

"Yes, I was in the Jingzhao Mansion a few days ago when I heard someone come to report the case. The person who reported the case was Yang Chongyi's wife, Mrs. Liu, who was very rich in Chang'an City, and several servants of the Yang family. Yang Chongyi's wife, Mrs. Liu, said that Yang Chongyi had died She went missing at home for several days and was nowhere to be found. She sent people to search everywhere but found Yang Chongyi himself, so she rushed to Jingzhao Mansion to report the crime. When I heard it at the time, I also felt that this matter was not trivial. I had met Yang Chongyi before, and he was also a rich man in the city. The person disappeared inexplicably in Chang'an City. I am afraid that if the news spreads, it will cause panic in Chang'an City. Therefore, I ordered the squad leader in Jingzhao Mansion to go to Yang's house to check, and mobilized the bad people in the city to look for Yang Chongyi's whereabouts. Unexpectedly, Yang Chongyi is indeed missing, and he can't be found anywhere in the city!"

"How did you deal with it later?" Xia Pingan asked.

"Based on Weichen's experience, the richest people disappear at home for no reason. The biggest suspects are actually the servants at home. We have handled several similar cases before. The servants at home colluded with the thieves and powerful people outside to kidnap people for ransom. , and sometimes killed people, so Weichen ordered that all the ten or so servants of the Yang family be arrested in the cell and interrogated carefully to see if there were any clues, but the strange thing is that after some interrogation, But there was no result, none of the servants were suspected of committing the crime. Weichen thought it was very strange at the time, so he took someone to the Yang's house to investigate for himself. Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the Yang's house, I heard someone shouting 'wrong' in the air. Look, this parrot flew over and landed on my shoulder!"
