I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 151 Is Emperor Wan Jing’s backer Mo Renxiang?
  Eunuch Yu still needs to coordinate the affairs of the house.

Whether you are looking for a good house or having the Ministry of Works renovate it, it takes time and cannot be rushed.

Cao An wanted to go to Pang Shi and ask about anything unusual recently.

Unexpectedly, the boy was not there. It seemed that he had stayed in the ghost market last night and could not be seen for the time being.

Cao An didn't care and took a detour to the Ministry of Industry.

After catching Uncle Guo, Cao An only received a reward of a sixth-grade treasure.

As a member of the team who is used to seeing good stuff, he naturally looks down on that kind of thing.

But then I thought about it, didn't he still have a pair of handcuffs that were sure to hit him?

Cao An felt guilty because he would be locked with the enemy, so he decided to reform.

After declining the six matchmaking officials, Cao An came to the Ministry of Industry and approached Master Tian.

The work here is still heavy, and most of it is customized by the emperor's relatives and court officials.

But these are not important. When he saw Cao An coming, Master Tian swept the table and made it for him first.

Looking around for no one, Master Tian smiled proudly: "Master Cao, I heard that you only received a sixth-grade treasure reward this time? It doesn't matter, I can secretly add ingredients and make you a fifth-grade treasure."

This guy is easy to talk to, but Cao An doesn't care.

"Master, it doesn't matter whether it's sixth grade or fifth grade. I want to use this opportunity to transform these handcuffs."

He must be handcuffed, and he has made meritorious service twice.

Unfortunately, the material was inferior and would not have much effect in the face of stronger enemies, so Cao An decided to modify it.

"Reform into what?"

"How about a pair of flying claws?"

Master must have seen the Flying Claw. After all, many of the six police officers relied on the Flying Claw to use Qinggong to catch fugitives.

"But if you need a flying claw, can't I just make a new one for you? Why do you need to modify this one?"

"Because it allows me to shoot more accurately."

Cao An was greedy for the 100% hit blessing.

……

Cao An spent the entire day in such a dull mood.

There was no wind or waves, and it seemed that the entire Shangjiang City had returned to peace.

Also in the evening, Mu Bai's second volume [Miscellaneous Notes on the Demon Race] arrived.

This was the second year after the death of Red Fox. The powerful Dapeng and the powerful six-eared macaque fought in the demon world. The sky was dark, the earth was dark, and the sun and the moon were dark.

Seeing the described battle situation, Red Fox was so obsessed with it that he couldn't extricate himself from it and shouted to Mu Bai to remind him to watch.

But Cao An couldn't sit still now.

"Come here, prepare your horses, I'm going to Si Tianjian now."

"Now?"

"Yes, Mu Bai's plan is going to succeed. I must find a way to stop her. It's time for the old guy from Si Tianjian to make a move."

……

On a rainy night, bring a knife but not an umbrella.

Cao An sat on the carriage and rushed to Si Tianjian overnight.

At this time, most health practitioners have already gone to bed, but fortunately Jian Zheng did not sleep.

Cao An, led by his sleepwalking senior sister, met Jian Zheng who was observing the stars at night.

"Stop pretending, it's going to rain tonight." Cao An chatted to death as soon as they met.

Jian Zheng smiled slightly, waved his hand, and dispersed the shadows of the stars in the sky, leaving only the chaotic mist to protect the open-air platform from wind and rain.

"He is indeed the smartest disciple of our Si Tianjian. You can tell at a glance that I am just faking it."

Cao An rolled his eyes: "It's not hard to guess, right? The last time I came here in broad daylight, you were stargazing; now it's raining, and you're still stargazing. If we count weekdays, you're here almost all the time. Stargazing?" "Isn't that wrong?"

"Of course not. Those who comply with the destiny will not care about the changes in the stars. Only those who want to see through the destiny and go against the sky will beg for a chance in the road of destiny. Obviously, this is not in line with your character for old age."

If you really want to maintain good health, you should do boxing every day, go to bed early and get up early like the men below.

Who is reading the stars every day?
  "For the emperor to see." Jian Zheng made an invitation gesture, made tea, and the two began to talk lazily and in detail.

Pick up a cup of tea, it is elegant but has an aftertaste.

Cao An couldn't help but sigh: "Si Tianjian's life is so easy! You don't have to work, and you can still receive a salary."

"How can Master Shuixiu live so well?" Jian Zheng couldn't help but joked: "I heard that during the seven days you left, the Imperial City Secretary went crazy and was looking for you every day. After you came back, the emperor even gave you a This house is so enviable!"

The Imperial City Secretary was anxious not because Pang Shi was worried about him.

After all, everyone knows about his and Ying Huorong's abilities, so there shouldn't be any danger.

What Pang Shi was worried about was the enemy's plan after sending Cao An away. The calmer it was before the rainstorm, the more terrifying it would be when the storm rose.

Cao An put down the tea cup and sighed: "That's why I came here. The monster named Mu Bai has already sent me information on the second day, telling me about the past ten years of the monster clan."

"Oh? Isn't that good? You can use this to understand the demon clan."

"not good at all."

Cao An looked solemn: "I checked and Mubai came to Shangjiang City three years ago. According to her one-year progress, in the sixth year, her book will have the final answer. .”

Jian Zheng paused while drinking tea: "You mean, she will solve the mystery herself? In other words, she still has four days before her plan will succeed?"

"Even earlier. I was walking around alone today, and the whole Shangjiang City was eerily quiet. If you don't give me some useful information, I will be broke and ready to run away."

Hearing Cao An's irritable questioning style, Jian Zheng was also amused, shook his head and replied:

"Look outside, the evaluation of our Tianjian is getting worse and worse. Now there are not even a few disciples. Are you so confident that I have the information you need?"

Cao An sneered: "If I'm not wrong, those unflattering comments were probably made by you, Jianzheng."

Is Si Tianjian weak?
  Not weak at all, not to mention anything else, but looking at that ignorant senior sister, her strength is terrifying.

Being able to cultivate such outstanding disciples shows that there must be something extraordinary about Si Tianjian.

But why does the outside world have such a poor evaluation?

Emperor Wan Jing was very eager for immortality, and he appointed Jian Zheng as a national advisor. This shows that his strength must have been recognized by Emperor Wan Jing.

As for other government agencies, those who had no grudges against Si Tianjian could not spread those rumors inexplicably.

If combined with Si Tianjian's arrogant attitude, Cao An has reason to believe that Jian is directing and acting on his own.

"Haha!! Cao An, you are really smart. I don't know what kind of virtue Ying Changfeng has accumulated to be able to pick up such a treasure like you." Jian Zheng laughed with relief.

Seeing that the situation is not good, hiding one's merit and reputation deeply is the way to longevity that Jian Zheng believes in.

Without denying Cao An's statement, Jian Zheng thought for a long time before continuing: "I can tell you the past, but it depends on your own ability. I will add to the story as much as you know now."

It's not that Jian Zheng was playing riddles, but that he didn't want to set himself on fire. He retreated from the torrent because he sensed the crisis.

Cao An naturally understood his concerns and said neatly: "I know many things, including Emperor Wanhe, Emperor Wanjing, Daomen, Black Lotus, Black Ring, and Mo Renxiang."

Cao An said a lot of words in one breath, but unfortunately these things were very fragmented.

I only know that Emperor Wanjing's backer should be Taoism, and later he killed his father, Emperor Wanhe, with the help of the Black Ring.

After ascending to the throne, he worked hard to govern, successively eliminated Mo Renxiang, expanded the territory of the dynasty, and finally became ambitious and drove away the Taoist sect.

But he didn't know the specific story, and he needed the supervisor to answer it for him and piece together the complete story.

Jian Zheng nodded. Since Cao An has found out this step, he doesn't need to worry anymore.

"In that case, let me start from 58 years ago."

"Is it about the backer of Emperor Wan Jing?"

"Yes, the background of Emperor Wan Jing is none other than Mo Ren Lane."

"???"
