Ning Qi looked at the familiar Zhenwu Mountain and felt a lot of emotion.
It took more than a month before and after going down the mountain this time. He could have seen some of the national conditions of Da Yan, but he still did not step out of Qingzhou.
But for Ning Qi, there was no regret. After going out, he felt that it was quite comfortable to stay in Zhenwu Mountain.
Without everyone knowing it.
Ning Qi returned to Zhenwu Mountain.
He went to meet Taoist Longshan first.
When Taoist Longshan saw Ning Qi, he was extremely excited.
Although Ning Qi had already shown him his strength before going down the mountain, the trip was in certain dangers, and he was still worried. If Ning Qi had not sent secret letters one after another saying that everything was going well, he would have been unable to help.
"Xiao Jiu, will this trip go smoothly?" Taoist Longshan couldn't help asking.
Although Ning Qi had asked someone to escort Dong He back, there were no other details.
Ning Qi bowed respectfully and then smiled:
"Master, don't worry, I'll talk to you slowly."
He sorted out his thoughts.
Start with the story of Canghe Prefecture City.
During this period, the disguise formed "thunder" and "fat elders", and asked you to get into the trap step by step and beat them all.
Except for some things that involve themselves and their own secrets, the rest of Ning Qi is full of things.
Taoist Longshan was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes were filled with incomparable amazement and emotion.
"I didn't expect that Xiaojiu, you will be so thrilling when you went down the mountain this time. It seems that it is wise for you to ask me not to follow the past, otherwise it will really be a burden."
Taoist Longshan is a little sour and proud.
My little apprentice grew up too fast, and now he has gradually reached the point where he can't even reach. This is a monster that cannot be found in the ages. Looking at ancient history, there is no other such existence.
He thought that the only thing he could do now was to do a good job in logistics.
"I didn't expect that the Southern Xinjiang had formed an alliance quietly. I wonder if I need to disclose this news to the Da Yan court?" Then Taoist Longshan shook his head again, "It's better not to get involved in such a muddy water. With Da Yan's background, it's impossible not to know that the Southern Xinjiang has formed an alliance. It is estimated that there are ways to deal with it. Even the Blood King Gu matter may know part of it."
"But one thing is a coincidence." When Taoist Longshan smiled when he said this.
"There are two days since you cleared the stronghold in southern Xinjiang, and your army has exposed yourself in Zhenwu City. This will make my Zhenwu Sect even less suspicious."
Ning Qi laughed too.
This is absent proof.
One master and one disciple were talking about what happened during this period. When he heard Ning Qi’s speculation about the Zhenwu Underground Palace, Taoist Longshan was also a little amazed. He was not capable enough before and had never seen it underground.
"I hope that the day when Zhenwu Underground Palace will appear again, the teacher will pay attention to it secretly. If it appears, with Xiaojiu's talent, you will definitely be able to obtain all the inheritance!"
Thinking of this, Taoist Longshan was also a little excited. His lifelong wish was to revive Zhenwu.
Ning Qi just smiled and nodded.
He asked about Dong He again.
Taoist Longshan said slowly:
"You asked someone to send Dong He up the mountain before. I told them that I secretly found clues and caught them. In the end, Dong He was handed over to Xiao Shi for treatment."
"Then Dong He is so clever, but Xiao Shi is still determined. He killed Dong He with his own hands and took his head to the tombstone of the Divine Sword Brother."
He looked a little satisfied.
Taoist Longshan has never been a good man. He has a chivalrous heart and is decisive in killing. He would not think that Zhuang Chen had killed Dong He. If he could not attack such hatred of killing his master, he would be disappointed with Zhuang Chen.
Ning Qi also nodded in approval.
After chatting with Taoist Longshan until late at night, Ning Qicai returned to the Taoist Courtyard.
The white ape is practicing the ape king's spirit.
His cultivation is getting deeper and his bloodline is constantly awakening. His actual combat power at this time is probably no less than that of Jiang Baishan and others.
Ning Qi looked at him with a smile. He was very satisfied with the White Ape because the White Ape's desire for Tao is very firm. Although he is sometimes naughty and playful on weekdays, he never slacked off when he should work hard, and perhaps he will accompany him for a long time in the future.
After a moment.
The white ape stood up, and he looked at the familiar figure standing under the peach tree, rubbed his eyes in confusion. After discovering that it was indeed Ning Qi, the surprise suddenly burst out from his eyes.
"teacher!"
He saluted Ning Qi respectfully and scratched his head.
Excitement is revealed.
During this period, Ning Qi was not here. He felt like he had lost his backbone, his energy and spirit were a little depressed, and now he became active in an instant.
Ning Qi smiles:
"I'm back."
He did not hide the fact that he went down the mountain from Bai Yuan, because he was together day and night, and every time he was in seclusion, the Bai Yuan would protect his Dharma for him, so he could naturally feel whether he was in the Taoist temple.
The next day.
Ning Qi "out of the pass" and asked the Taoist temple to become lively again.
Luo Wentian and others all came to hear the news.
Talking about what happened recently.
Ning Qi felt the noise and smiled, and his heart was even more peaceful.
...
After returning to the mountain.
Ning Qi's life has returned to the rhythm of the past.
Reading scriptures, enlightening the truth, practicing, cultivating the spiritual tree... one thing fills his time and lives a fulfilling life. Ning Qi also likes such a life.
With the help of the Blood Jade Pill, Ning Qi's cultivation speed became faster.
Every day, you can feel that your strength is getting stronger.
Every day, the Jade Liver Sea will become a little wider and a little deeper.
As he accumulated strength, Ning Qi's strength also grew at a rate that ordinary people could not imagine. He felt that when he ate five or six blood jade pills, he might be able to compete with the King of Zhenbei.
The Taoist scriptures of the Zhenxuan Sect are also being continuously digested, and it is estimated that in another half a year, it will all be transformed into its foundation.
Ning Qi was wondering whether he should take advantage of the opportunity of the Tianxia Taoist Sect to find the old Taoist Baishan in the future. The old man's proposal made him even more moved.
He truly felt that these classics were of great help to him.
The true energy of all things draws on the strengths of all families and becomes more and more perfect.
Ning Qi slowly realized his own path, and with his understanding, he should take all the ways for himself.
And the later he went, the more he needed some reference and inspiration, especially after the realm of heaven and man, his predecessors' understanding of heaven and earth was even more helpful to him than some martial arts books. Otherwise, even if he could succeed with himself alone, it would take more time.
For example, Ning Qi is comprehending the clone of Gangqi now.
Thanks to these accumulations, there have been many applications.
The Enlightenment Tea Tree grew very smoothly after breaking through the ground, and now it is as tall as Ning Qi's forearm.
After thinking for a while, Ning Qi finally decided to turn the two extra blood jade elixirs into pill liquid to cultivate the tea tree of enlightenment.
He originally wanted to leave it to the Zhenwu School for its foundation.
But then I thought about it again.
There are only two blood jade pills, which are too few. It makes him feel a little bad if he gives them to them.
Moreover, when the seniors can use the Blood Jade Pill to improve their cultivation, there is probably a long time left. After all, the Blood Jade Pill has a strong medicinal power, which can only be used to accelerate cultivation for Ning Qi, but for others, they need to take it with caution.
By then, maybe Ning Qi will refine more pills that are more suitable for them.
Since this is the case, it is better to cultivate the tea tree of enlightenment first.
If the Enlightenment Tea Tree grows ahead of schedule, it is also the foundation of the Zhenwu Sect and can benefit everyone.
With the blessing of Blood Jade Pill Liquid.
The growth of the Enlightenment Tea Tree is even more gratifying.
Ning Qi estimated that he might be able to get a little tea before the Zhenwu Taohui meeting next year!
but.
This year's Zhenwu Peach Club is getting closer and closer.
Many true disciples are looking forward to it, especially Zhuang Chen, who has heard Ye Qinghe have talked about the Zhenwu Peach Club many times, and he has long been greedy for this grand event.
...
Time passes slowly.
Just as everyone was looking forward to the Zhenwu Peach Meeting.
A palace built on the top of the mountain welcomed two warriors with a strong look on their faces.
One of them was an old woman with a slightly hunched back. The most conspicuous thing was that there were two strange snakes wrapped around her neck, one blue and one purple, and her whole body was as crystal clear as jade, like a work of art. The old woman had a strong aura, even stronger than the thin elder that Ning Qi killed before.
But she was half a step behind another fellow traveler.
The traveler was a woman with a black veil. She couldn't see her true face clearly, but her figure was charming. Just by looking at her figure, you would know that she must be a peerless face.
The two of them came in absent-time.
Walking slowly.
The guards below the palace finally found the person coming and shouted loudly:
"Who is coming?!"
The woman in black veil walked forward as if she hadn't heard of it, while the old woman snorted slightly:
"Rareless! This is how thin skin teaches you the difference between superiority and inferiority?"
Her power from heaven and earth was released, and just a little pressure made everyone vomit blood and fly backwards. She looked at her in horror, and saw a blood-colored token flying over, embedded in the pillars of the hall.
"If there was no need to ask you something, you should die based on your offense to the Saint today!" The old woman's gloomy voice made everyone's heart tremble.
The saint of southern Xinjiang waved his hand slightly.
She sat upright in the main seat, her voice with a cold and peerless voice, and she said lightly:
"Mother-in-law Snake, what are they doing? Elder Skinny is not here. Can anyone tell me where he is?"
Look at the token.
Finally someone reacted.
First, he was shocked and frightened, then he looked sad and cried and shouted:
"Sir Saint, you are finally here, Qingzhou... Qingzhou is over! You... you want to make the decision for us!"
The saint of southern Xinjiang and the snake lady looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
A few days ago.
After the Southern Xinjiang Alliance could not contact the two elders through secret techniques, he finally realized that something had happened here. This time the two came together just to solve the problem. He had originally had some luck mentality, but now it seems that he is afraid that this problem is not an ordinary big deal.
"To put it in detail." The voice of the saint in southern Xinjiang became colder.
After a moment.
After hearing the people below say.
The voice of the saint in southern Xinjiang can no longer hear the joy and anger.
"What you mean is that the fat elder and the thin elder are missing, and they are suspected to have been killed. All the Yuandan realms in that stronghold have been dead. You still don't know who the murderer is, and you haven't even found a trace of it?"
Everyone crawling with their bodies trembled.
Someone said tremblingly:
"The Saint's Mingjian, the force that took action was extremely careful and erased all traces. The subordinates and others wanted to report to the adults as soon as possible, but... but they couldn't contact the adults."
They are indeed very wronged.
The stronghold was discovered more than a month ago, and not only the two elders, but also the adults in the Yuandan realm were all dead.
But they could not find any trace of the murderer.
It is even more impossible to contact the people at the headquarters of the Southern Xinjiang Alliance.
Everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
The snake lady sneered:
"Make an excuse? A bunch of waste!"
With a wave of her hand, the person who spoke was photographed as blood foam, everyone's hearts trembled, and the saint of southern Xinjiang said slowly:
"Don't get angry, mother-in-law, give them a chance to lose their merits."
"Thank you, Saint!"
"Take us to that stronghold."
She got up and left in the air. The snake lady looked at everyone coldly, pointed at the leaders casually, and dragged them away.
...
One day later.
The stronghold that Ning Qi wiped out.
Everyone fell.
"Saint Madam, Snake Madam, this is the stronghold where Elder Skinny and his friends gathered that day. Before that day, the fat elder suddenly sent a message to ask all the leaders of Qingzhou to come. He said that the thunder in the Blood Rain Tower had betrayed and should be carefully investigated..."
Some people slowly talk about the causes and consequences.
The saint of southern Xinjiang and the snake lady stood side by side, looking down from the sky, the saint of southern Xinjiang frowned slightly, guessing:
"Is it because the fat elder Greedy Blood King Gu betrayed the Alliance? These traces are quite clean..."
The snake lady shook her head slowly:
"Saint, you don't know. Although that fat man is a little weak, he is from the Helan tribe and has no doubt about his loyalty to the alliance. I am afraid that there is something else in this matter. Perhaps someone borrowed the fat man's hand to cause this matter, which caused the thin skinny and the others to suffer."
It's time.
They no longer have the idea of ​​a fat and thin elder still alive. They just look at the information they know now and know that this matter has been planned for a long time.
"Mother-in-law, can there be a way to restore these traces?" asked the saint of southern Xinjiang, turning his head. The breeze occasionally blew a corner of the veil, revealing its white and pointed chin, which was a little thrilling.
The snake lady smiled confidently:
"This mover is considered vigilant, and the traces are completely wiped out, but he is also a little too underestimated to us in southern Xinjiang. Although we cannot completely recover, there is no problem tracing the power and breath characteristics of the mover."
She fell among the collapsed ruins.
Gently picked up the strange snake that was as blue as blue jade from the neck, and after kissing it, he chanted the fast and bizarre syllables in his mouth. Then, the strange blue snake began to change amazingly. Its abdomen expanded, and tiny snake eggs fell down, and in the blink of an eye, extremely small blue snakes emerged from it.
The blue snakes shot out from the lightning and spread in all directions.
The person who saw it was creepy and his scalp was numb.
The snake lady just closed her eyes and recited the spell, while the blue jade snake hovered on her palm and raised her body from time to time.
After one stick of incense.
The blue snakes died and turned into powder.
The snake lady began to listen to the hissing of the blue jade snake. After a moment, she raised her head and smiled confidently:
"Holy lady, found it."
The saint in the southern Xinjiang eyes were filled with joy, and thought to myself that it was fortunate that she was carrying the snake lady this time, and she had a unique secret technique to track the traces of the enemy, otherwise she would have to waste time.
"Who did the snake lady?"
The snake lady said:
"There are only two traces of the battle between the Heavenly Realm Realm on the field, one of which is Skinny Skin, and the other is a strong man who is good at using highly toxic power. His strength is much stronger than Skinny Skin!"
She began to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, and clusters of green mist formed beside her, exactly the same as those used by Elder Wang and Ning Qi. If Ning Qi was here, I would be amazed that there were indeed many strange people in the world.
However, the Snake Grandma only simulates shape, and the essence of power is completely different.
"This is how its power manifestation should be."
The saint of southern Xinjiang stared:
"One person is destroyed?"
The snake lady nodded slowly:
"Yes, it seems incredible, but in fact it is not difficult to understand. This person or this force first captured the fat man by means, and then tricked Shousizi and others in his name, and then attacked him while he was unprepared. If so, it would be possible."
"The rest of them are like ants in front of him."
The saint in southern Xinjiang has a faint look:
"It should be like that. I have already investigated before. The breath of the Blood King Gu has completely disappeared. This person who took action may be for the Blood King Gu, and other possibilities cannot be ruled out."
She looked at the person in charge who was kneeling on the ground, and her voice was like ice that had lasted forever:
"There are strong people who use this power in Da Yan. I will give you three days. If you can't find out, you won't be able to see me. In addition, we will find all the forces involved in major organizations under our command during this period!"
Everyone was as if they had been amnesty and quickly responded:
"Yes, Saint!"
...
One day later.
The saint of southern Xinjiang sat upright at a desk, flipping through the many collected information, while the snake lady was drinking tea and teasing two strange snakes.
"Saint, how about it?" asked the snake lady.
The saint of southern Xinjiang raised his head and rubbed his eyebrows slightly:
"It seems that there are two forces that are suspected."
“Which two places?”
"One of them is...the Demon Sect!"
Speaking of these two words, the expressions of the saints of southern Xinjiang and the snake lady began to become serious.
Even if they are in southern Xinjiang, they know the name of the Demon Sect. This force has been revived and made a comeback for so many years under the suppression of Da Yan. This can tell how difficult it is.
"The toxic power you found out before, mother-in-law, appeared last year. Five powerful celestial beings in the Demon Sect attacked the Zhenwu Sect of Qingzhou, one of them used this power."
The Saint of Southern Xinjiang talked in detail about what happened in Zhenwu Mountain.
"The essence of the power of a powerful man in the Heavenly Realm cannot be changed, unless he is a mixed practice. Since he has found it, it is probably the one who took the action. He can escape from the ninth place of the Heavenly Realm King, and he does have the ability to kill the thin skinny boy!"
"It may even be that he is not the only one in the Demon Sect who has cultivated this kind of power, which is even more suspicious!"
The voice of the snake mother-in-law is gradually full of murderous intent.
"I'm afraid that this damn Demon Sect was not coveting the Blood King Gu we cultivated, so they suddenly killed him. According to Saint, the Demon Sect had been defeated by Da Yan's hands and lost several heavenly realms."
The saint of southern Xinjiang nodded and agreed.
She also felt that the Demon Sect was the most likely.
"Where is another suspected force?"
"The second is the Zhenwu Sect." said the saint of southern Xinjiang.
"Zhenwu Sect? That Zhenwu Sect that was attacked by the Demon Sect?"
"Yes, I have read the sects that have recently had conflicts with several forces under my command. A few months ago, the Divine Sword Sect was destroyed by Zhao Dong and others. Then the Divine Sword Sect leader, the Divine Sword Old Man, fled to the Zhenwu Sect with his little disciple. According to the relationship between the Longshan Zhenren and the Divine Sword Old Man, the Zhenwu Sect also had a motive to take action. They had sent someone to investigate the matter of the Blood Pool."
"The strength of Longshan Zhenren may not be enough, but the Zhenwu Sect has a Tianjian Zhenren."
The snake lady was a little hesitant:
"But isn't a real person in Tianjian a swordsman? His power is completely different from the traces of attack."
"Saint, do you think it's the Demon Sect that wants to use this to blame the Zhenwu Sect and let us be the gun? The Demon Sect had wanted to destroy the Zhenwu Sect before."
The saint of southern Xinjiang nodded slowly:
"I have also considered this possibility. At present, the Demon Sect is the most suspicious, but the Zhenwu Sect cannot completely ignore it."
The snake mother nodded with a smile.
"You are the safest thing to do."
There was a look of appreciation in her eyes.
In fact, at this moment, most of the demon sects are the ones, but for the superiors, they cannot act at will, and even the slightest possibility cannot be spared. This is a qualified leader.
"If I have the chance to see the Tianjian Zhenren take action, I will be able to see the essence of his power up close, and I should be more confident."
Grandma Snake added.
It is a bit incredible to put the swordsman and the poisonous power together, but there are also swordsmen who are good at using poisonous swords. Everything must be seen with their own eyes. If she can see it in person, it will naturally be clear whether the Tianjian Zhenren will have the poisonous power.
The saint of southern Xinjiang slowly stood up and sighed:
"I just hope that the cultivation of the Blood King Gu will be smooth. The world is about to be in peace. My southern border will also have to advance bravely. This time, two Blood King Gu are missing. I can only look at the time to find replenishment in the south. If I don't work, go to the mountains..."
"This time I have to worry about my mother-in-law and I stay in Qingzhou. If it was really done by the Demon Sect, I wouldn't have eaten this loss just like that."
The saint's eyebrows flicked slightly, revealing murderous aura.
...
The Southern Xinjiang Alliance finally reacted.
However, the Zhenwu Sect now does not know all this. The Taoist Longshan is not staring at it, because it means that it is a bit like not asking for help. It may be better to think that nothing happens, and it is more appropriate to investigate after a while.
The Court of Queuing Dao at this moment.
The atmosphere is lively.
It’s another Zhenwu Taohui Festival.
Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate:
"Come on, let's raise your glasses together, welcome Xiao Shi to join!"
"This cup, I wish Xiao Shi!"
Everyone laughed from the bottom of their hearts, and Zhuang Chen's little fat face was blushing. It was both because of drinking and excitement. A warm feeling emerged from his heart:
"My senior brothers and sisters, I'll drink it first!"
Everything is in the wine.
Speaking more will make you feel pretentious.
Everyone had smiles on their faces. After spending time together, they also liked Zhuang Chen's personality very much. They didn't care and often smiled foolishly. They used to be a little over-obese, but since they practiced the improved version of Dream Taotie taught by Ning Qi, they have lost a lot of weight, but they are still a fat man.
Logically speaking, Zhuang Chen will not be fat, but he is greedy.
Zhuang Chen's progress in practicing Yazi stake was very fast. He was a peerless genius and was born with a sword bone. Now that the sword bones are broken and then established, he has re-edited it, and the foundation he has laid is even more solid.
"The wine brewed by the third senior sister is really good!" Zhuang Chen praised it without hesitation.
Ye Qinghe laughed:
"It's still Xiao Shi who can speak."
Everyone just smiled, but to be honest, the peach blossom brew made by Ye Qinghe has made progress again this year, but everyone is a little confused. Is it because Ye Qinghe's winemaking technology has improved or because the materials have become better.
Everyone gnawed the Zhenwu peach fruit in their hands, and they felt it was particularly sweet.
Especially Zhuang Chen, who is now re-cultivating the Body Tempering Realm, this peach fruit has helped him more, and he has shown off several of them.
This is the second year of cultivation of Guangming Fruit. In addition, Ning Qi moved the peach tree to activate the seeds of the Enlightenment Tea Tree. At this moment, the tea tree broke out from the ground and feeded back, which naturally made the peach fruit even better than the past.
Everyone chatted.
Zhuang Chen felt this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere and kept smirking.
Ning Qi also listened to his senior brothers and sisters sharing interesting stories with each other.
Ye Qinghe smiled:
"I'll say something you must be interested in. Once I found out that Lao Wu was secretly writing love letters! This guy probably had a woman he liked, and was hiding it from us!"
As soon as this is said.
Jiang Baishan's face turned red suddenly, and everyone was laughing and was extremely interested.
Speaking of which, many true disciples are single now, none of them have Taoist partners. Although the Zhenwu Sect is a Taoist sect, they can also make Taoist partners. Unfortunately, everyone is not good at it. Now that they hear that Jiang Baishan is about to become a pioneer, their eyes are lit.
Jiang Baishan blushed and waved his hands repeatedly:
"Don't listen to the third senior sister's nonsense. I'm writing a letter to a friend!"
"You, just say that friend is a woman? Whoever writes a letter to a friend and sneaks into Xiaojiu's yard to pick a peach blossom? Lao Wu, don't you like men?"
Luo Wentian finished the fight in time:
"Tsk tsk, it's not the fierce woman who wanted to cut off your shoulders from Lao Wu? Then you may be in trouble in the future and will be eaten to death!"
Everyone laughed happily.
Jiang Baishan smiled bitterly, begged for mercy, and drank a few drinks before letting him go.
But I didn't ask until the end, and everyone was just joking. They knew that if it was time to say it, Jiang Baishan would not hide it from everyone.
Ning Qi listened with a smile.
He has no excessive thoughts about Taoist couples for the time being. He is still young now and may not necessarily have them in the future. If he really wants to have them, he must be the one who can truly pursue the Tao with him.
Chapter completed!
