The night is cold and the waning moon hangs alone.
There was a curfew in Chang'an City, and most of the households were already asleep, but there was a faint light emitting from an attic in the north of the city.
The charming girl stood in the air, making a hand with her hands, surrounded by four shining golden beads. The girl seemed to be absorbing something from these four glowing beads.
"I've met Master."
A figure appeared out of thin air. She looked like a woman in her thirties or forties. Her appearance was not outstanding. She was the type that no one would care about if she was among the crowd.
The woman knelt down on one knee, showing great respect to the girl in the sky, and called her "Master".
The girl in the sky is Mei'er who is accompanying Princess Mingyue in the Fengyi Hall of Jiuxiao Palace.
Meier opened her eyes, and the four orbs in the sky disappeared in an instant. Her bare feet slowly landed on the floor, and she walked to a chair nearby and sat down.
The woman held a piece of warm jade in both hands. Meier raised it lightly with one hand, and the jade floated up and fell into her hand.
After a moment, her face turned gloomy and cold, and she suddenly clenched her fists. The warm jade shattered into powder in her hands and emitted bursts of light.
"Damn Nie Nanyan, how dare you threaten me like this after seeing my true form!"
Seeing the Master's appearance, the woman asked cautiously: "Master, what did Nie Nanyan say?"
Meier sneered: "It's just asking me to wipe her ass for what she has done. She doesn't know what kind of person Prince Su is? And the royal family members are all extremely spiritual, so how can it be so easy to succeed."
The woman was puzzled: "Master always shows himself as Li Zizhen when outside. How did Nie Nanyan know about Master's true identity?"
Mei'er didn't answer her question, she frowned and thought for a while and said, "Let Xue Yan come to me in a few days."
The woman was surprised and said: "Let Xue Yan deal with King Su, Xue Yan... can she?"
Meier said calmly: "How could I let her die? Hasn't Li Chongrui been looking for beauties again recently?"
Li Chongrui, the crown prince of Prince Su.
"Disciple, I understand!" the woman responded with her head bowed.
After saying that, she raised her head again: "Master, Wu Yunxian is dead."
Meier thought for a while and thought of who this person was.
"That Qingyang abandoned disciple?"
"Yes, he once came to see his disciple, wanting to join the master's disciples, and offered him the soul refining technique."
Meier sneered coldly: "The Qingyang Sword Sect is really in decline, and Ye Hanfeng is so comatose that he can't recognize people."
She asked again: "How did he die? He was killed by Xuanjia Guards?"
The woman shook her head and said: "Wu Yunxian used the soul refining technique on Taihua Mountain two days ago to capture part of the souls of the mortals who went to worship at the mountain. Then he died mysteriously, leaving only a piece of clothing."
Mei'er thought thoughtfully: "Dispersing the spirit and flesh is more like Xuanzhen's method."
The woman continued: "My disciple has investigated and found that there was another monk who went to Taihua Mountain that day. This man was in the aura realm, but he did not restrain his aura at all. For some reason, before the ban was lifted, I am afraid that he would be a monk. I will die countless times."
After hearing this, Mei'er raised her eyebrows lightly: "The one from Luoyang?"
"Master knows about him?"
"So, the soul refining technique fell into his hands."
The woman immediately said: "Disciple, go help Master get it!"
Mei'er's eyes were deep, and her charming face showed a thoughtful look: "Don't worry, you can find an opportunity to test his depth in the past two days and see if there are any tricks left by others in him."
The woman was also thoughtful: "Xuan Zhen?"
"Don't kill him."

Wenren Jinping ordered his servants to help Wenren Jingheng prepare the apprenticeship bundle, and then the three of them drove to Bailu Academy together.
However, except for Wenren Jingheng, An Yan and Wenren Jinping were unable to enter.
Jing Heng, a famous scholar, entered the academy with his name cards and gifts.
Before parting, Wenren Jinping warned Wenren Jingheng that she was not worried that her brother would endure hardships. This kid Luo Yang was a demon king, and she wished he could endure hardships to temper his temper. Wenren Jinping was mainly worried that his younger brother would get into trouble.
Wenren Jingheng, on the other hand, repeatedly patted his chest and promised that he would definitely study hard after entering the academy.
After the separation, Wenren Jinping said helplessly to An Yan: "I wish no one would care about him now. I hope Huanting and Huanqi can watch him."
An Yan comforted: "Don't worry, we are all in Chang'an. I will know what happens at the first time. Besides, the teaching at Bailu Academy is strict, and he will slowly change."
After settling in Chang'an, An Yan thought carefully about what she wanted to do.
I found that there was nothing else to do except practice.
Yu Jingtang could give him a lifetime of wealth, he was born into a powerful family, and he was dismissed after becoming an official. It seemed that he would just have to enjoy himself in the future.
However, this is satisfactory to An Yan. He does not have to face any life or death adversities when he travels back. It is best to do what he wants to do without being disturbed. He also has a beautiful wife by his side. Life seems to be perfect from then on. .
Shen Rongxi came to visit, and Wenren Jinping was very happy. The two talented women were talking about elegance in the courtyard of the mansion, and Huanxi was still playing the piano.
An Yan stayed in the study, groping for spiritual practice on the pretext of reading.
Among the things left by the old man, Anyan had seen all the bottles and jars, but he didn't recognize them, so he couldn't take them randomly.
There is a cultivation method. An Yan tried to absorb the spiritual energy according to the above method, but found that the speed was not even as fast as his body could absorb it on its own. After careful study, he found that it was just a cultivation method purely for improving cultivation. Then gave up.
"Soul Refining"
You can use other people's souls as nourishment to strengthen your own souls and evil spells.
After reading the "Cultivation Notes" left by the old man, An Yan knew that after practicing the soul refining technique, one's spiritual consciousness would be far superior to that of monks of the same level, and he could perform the Qingyang Sword Technique better.
However, this "Soul Refining Technique" also clearly states that if you seize other people's souls to strengthen your own body, you will run the risk of mental disorder and confusion in the future, and you may lose your true self.
This is what An Yan is most taboo about.
He still read the Soul Refining Technique in its entirety and found that in addition to the souls of many people, there were also two techniques at the back.
Invasion of God.
It has the effect of soul searching and can detect the target's memory, but it is not like the soul searching technique, which will cause great damage to the target and make it stupid.
If you use it skillfully, you can search for souls without any damage.
Soul separation technique.
As the name suggests, it can split your soul into two parts in a short period of time.
This technique can be used for surprise attacks during battles. The souls of people who practice soul refining techniques are inherently stronger than ordinary people. Even if a part is split, it will not affect too much.
After reading the entire "Soul Refining Art", An Yan began to think deeply.
This kind of evil technique that directly seizes other people's achievements will definitely be stronger than normal techniques if practiced.
But its disadvantages are also very obvious, which makes An Yan feel apprehensive and there is no need to try it.
However, the subsequent invasion of gods technique is extremely useful.
As for the soul-splitting technique... without the soul-refining technique as a basis, if the soul is not strong enough, it will not be easy to use in a battle with others.
You can also practice.
An Yan rubbed the pages of the old book and read it word by word, but still felt that the words on it were obscure and difficult to understand.
He frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly tried to inject spiritual energy into the book. Suddenly, as if a door had been opened, a message came into An Yan's mind.
The way of cultivation, the circulation route of spiritual energy... An Yan fully understood it.
It turns out there is a lazy way!
In addition to the method of seizing the soul, the soul refining technique also describes some methods of cultivating the soul, which are also useful for An Yan. He is now a Xiaobai and wants to absorb any knowledge about cultivation.
Time passed in the evening.
A knock on the door woke up An Yan who was immersed in practice. It was Wenren Jinping.
"What was Anlang looking at? He was so fascinated that he didn't leave the room all afternoon."
"Just flipping through a few books." An Yan smiled casually and glanced at the sky outside.
"It's time to eat, has everyone left already?"
Wenren Jinping nodded and said, "Sister Rong Xi invited us to attend a cultural gathering in a few days."
"Wenhui?"
"Mrs. Ning Guo organized it, and all the famous people from Chang'an went there. It was Mrs. Ning Guo who came to Chang'an to seek refuge with Sister Rong Xi."
An Yan was not interested: "Do you want to go?"
Wenren Jinping saw his reaction and immediately said: "If Anlang doesn't go, I won't go either."
An Yan's mind moved slightly when he heard this, and then he smiled and said, "If you want to go, just go. You don't have to worry too much. You already love literature and elegance. How can I take away what you love? Let's go together when the time comes."
Wenren Jinping's face suddenly burst into a smile: "Okay!"
At night.
An Yan, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and stared out the window. There was a figure standing motionless there, which was really scary in this night.
Glancing at Wenren Jinping who was sleeping soundly next to him, Anyan stood up quietly, and the black shadow outside the window suddenly disappeared.
This is deliberately trying to lure him out...
An Yan secretly thought that they were already coming to her door, and she couldn't escape the ones who were supposed to come.
He immediately picked up a robe and put it on himself, opened the door and walked out of the room.
However, as soon as he stepped out, he felt a sudden blur in front of his eyes and a tightness in his waist and abdomen. When he came back to his senses, he was already in a deserted side room.
Zhi~
It was the sound of water vapor evaporating, and An Yan smelled a faint fragrance.
"Mr. An, I finally found you."
The room was pitch dark, but fortunately An Yan could see the other person's figure clearly.
"Who are you?"
The girl was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "I am Shi Lengcen!"
She waved her hollow metal arm and patted her chest. There were still wisps of moisture rising from her clothes.
An Yan's mind was racing, and she secretly thought that this was someone she knew, and he seemed to have no ill intentions.
Teacher's surname...
After pondering for a moment, An Yan said, "Do we know each other?"
Shi Lengcen looked at An Yan blankly, his eyes full of disbelief: "Mr. An, have you forgotten me..."
An Yancai said: "I had some accidents before, and all my past memories were lost, and I can't remember any of my old friends."
The sad look that Shi Lengcen had just shown disappeared instantly, and he said in surprise: "Mr. An, have you lost your memory?!"
An Yan nodded slightly: "Yes."
His amnesia is not a secret to those who care about it.
Otherwise, Yu Jingtang wouldn't have said that it was actually a good thing that he lost his memory. It seemed that he wanted to let some people know that he had lost his memory.
Shi Lengcen suddenly stepped forward, grabbed An Yan's hand and asked with great concern: "What's going on? What happened? Did someone hurt you? I'm going to kill him!"
When she said the last sentence, there was a fierce look between her eyebrows.
This is just a pretty and lovely girl who looks to be sixteen or seventeen years old. If it weren't for the metal mechanical arm, no one would think there was anything special about her.
She cares about herself...
An Yan thought in her mind and then said, "I don't know what happened, I don't remember anything."
Shi Lengcen then said: "I heard that you became an official... and even got married. Why did you come to Chang'an?"
"I am white now."
Shi Lengcen's face showed distress: "Could it be related to the Queen? It's a bit troublesome..."
"What do you want to do?" An Yan asked.
Shi Lengcen immediately looked like a matter of course: "I'll find out the truth for you. If someone hurts you, I will never let him go!"
An Yan then asked slowly: "What is the relationship between the two of us?"
At this time, Shi Lengcen's pretty face suddenly turned red, and he changed from his careless demeanor of wanting to kill people just now, and actually became a little shy.
"Mr. An, do you...really don't remember anything?"
"……Um."
Shi Lengcen lowered his head in shame and put his hands behind his back. After a long while, he spoke in a very soft voice.
"The two of us... fell in love at first sight..."
"Two...two people are in love...privately...decided for life privately..."
