Chapter 233: Calm Heart's Faith
Wushan, the cloud is on the occasion of the memorial conference, in the Taoyuan below, also ushered in the lively occasion, in the central usually practice place, a high platform is erected, gongs and drums are beaten, lion dances and texts, more than a dozen big men, naked, juggling in the performers, all in all, the liveliness here is no less than Shifang City.
However, no matter how it changes, there is always a statue of a witch god erected in front of them, where incense is burning, and groups of people kneel down and pray, praying for their wishes.
"Yuan, Brother Yuan!" In the crowd, Yuan Xuan and Wan Ling were mixed, Wan Ling wanted to call Yuan Xuan Senior Brother, but he was submissive, and finally sorted by age, and called Brother Yuan.
"What's wrong!" Yuan Xuan frowned, after a big change, Ling'er's previous lively personality was washed away, and he didn't know if it was good or bad.
"I... I'm like this, I'm afraid...."Ling'er's body was shrunk in a wide cloak, and her hands were wearing a pair of leather gloves, although she couldn't see anything from the outside, but she was always afraid in her heart.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Yuan Xuan stared at Ling'er and said seriously, "You will definitely recover!"
"But!" Ling'er wanted to say something, but Yuan Xuan grabbed her, really like a big brother, giving her a great sense of security.
People are rushing back and forth, and occasionally a few witch blades pass by, but in such a mixed place, it is difficult for anyone to find that they have entered Wushan. This is deliberately done by Yuan Xuan, he is looking for the bronze door full of seals in the cold cave, if as expected, the other side of the bronze door must be hidden somewhere in the peach source.
"Brother Yuan, I also want to burn incense and make a wish!" As they spoke, the two came to the statue of the witch god, and Ling'er pleaded.
"Go ahead!" Yuan Shi glanced at the statue of the witch god and nodded.
Ling'er lit a stick of incense and inserted it in the incense burner in front of the statue table, imitating the appearance of those savages, kneeling down on both knees, placing his left hand on his right shoulder, closing his eyes, and silently reciting his wish in his mouth.
Yuan Xuan didn't care about this, but when Ling'er knelt down, he suddenly found that the statue of the witch god had changed somewhat, and a white light flashed above its head and flew towards the clouds. At the same time, the statue of the god in the temple also bloomed with a shining witch light, which surprised everyone present, thinking that something bad had happened.
"Don't be nervous, it's just that there are distinguished guests coming during the conference!" Simon had a smile on his face, glanced at Wan Ting who was hiding in the shadows, and said, "Let's continue!"
Wan Ting, who was in the dark, turned around and left with a complicated face.
"Sister Ning!" Mo Ti happened to see Wan Ting's back, leaned into Ning Xin's ear, and muttered a few words.
Ning Xin shook her head, she also saw Wan Ting, but she didn't act rashly, after all, the current Wan Ting, whether it is her appearance or dress, is far from the previous one at the bottom of the mountain, I believe that even if she finds it, she may not be able to recognize herself.
Taoyuan, Yuan Xuan stretched out his finger and gently popped out a spiritual light, dispersing a gray mist that suddenly appeared on the top of the god's head that looked like eyes, and then he pulled up Ling'er who had made a wish and disappeared into the crowd.
After a while, a woman dressed in a gray robe and stepping on silver light arrived, she first observed the statue of Tongyun God, and then the star-like eyes continued to sweep the surrounding crowd, obviously looking for fate, and whispered to herself: "Since you are still alive, why don't you show up?"
In the dark, Yuan Xuan looked at Wan Ting, compared with before, she has changed too much, that cold temperament from the inside out, it is difficult to get close, in the thought of this so-called memorial conference, Yuan Xuan can be sure that this woman who occupies Wan Ting's body plays a very important role.
"Brother Yuan, should we go and meet!" Ling'er heard about Wan Ting, and was also a little hesitant.
"Don't worry!" Yuan Xuan shook his head, pulled Ling'er and turned away, "I'll see you sooner or later!"
The clouds, the temple of worship, the memorial conference, has begun to have an hour, in this hour, Mo Ti is very bored in her heart, she stands behind Ning Xin, that is, at the core of this conference, but what she hears and sees are all some polite greetings, and even the speeches of some elders are all looking back on the events of previous years, and there is no mention of the focus of this conference at all, I don't know if it is the practice of previous years, or someone deliberately did it.
Ning Xin was very patient, remembering every word in her heart, and even the names of the leaders of the parties present knew very well that she was born in the Western Regions and had been in the wilderness for a while, knowing that this conference would last for many days, and now it was just beginning.
"You come from all over the world, it's rare to be able to get together to participate in my wilderness memorial meeting, Simon is here, I would like to give you a drink!" Simon stood up, took the cup himself, and drank it all.
The representatives of the ten clans did not dare to slack off, and they all hurriedly stood up and took a drink respectfully.
"Lord Sacrifice God leads the wilderness and makes a tribal contract, and over the years, I have lost a lot of fighting, and this is very much admired by the Lord in my heart!" An elder named Fengtu Zan, who represented the Fengtu Tribe, one of the ten clans.
Ning Xin glanced at Simon and understood in his heart that this tribal contract did have this effect on the surface, but in fact, it also restricted the communication between various clans under certain circumstances, which had both advantages and disadvantages.
"Brother Fengtu is right!" A middle-aged man with a strong body and muscles also nodded yes, "I am a Mengao tribe, located in the extreme north, and the closest to those two tribes!
Ning Xin's face was flat, but he was secretly surprised in his heart, the two tribes in this person's words were the two tribes of Lama and Eagle Crossbow, which were located west of Wushan! It is rumored that the people of these two tribes were very ambitious, and many years ago, they wanted to unify the ten tribes and wanted to compete with the altar of the gods, but later because of some things, they were suppressed by the previous gods, and the two of them forcibly moved out.
"You're serious!" Simon smiled, "The Ten Parts are the foundation of my wilderness, and the altar of sacrifice can be located here, one depends on the attachment of the ancient gods, and the other is your years of hard work and worship, everyone can be regarded as in the same boat!"
"What the priest said is very true, and with this sentence, I propose that everyone drink openly tonight and get drunk!" A middle-aged woman, with a burly figure completely opposite to her gender, said something that should have been said by a man.
"Haha, Elder Xiong Ru's demeanor is still the same as it was back then! This alcoholic personality makes us men ashamed!" another man with a stubble grin, and behind him, a banner was engraved with two big characters, Cangwu.
"What?" the leader of Xiong Ru frowned, and said with an unhappy face, "Look down on women? You big men have no ability, don't drink! Escape home as soon as possible and hide in your mother's womb, it's enough for us women to come out and support the scene!"
"What are you talking about!" said the leader of Cangwu angrily, picking up a whole pot of wine, and about to drink it on the spot, there was a posture of breaking the tiger and sinking the boat.
Such a lively scene, even Ning Xin couldn't help laughing, she naturally understood that in the wilderness, wine is very important, there is a saying that the amount of alcohol in a person determines the status of this person, and even the position of some tribal leaders is based on the amount of alcohol to campaign, to the wilderness for so long, this kind of excitement is already rare and strange.
"Savage and rough people, it is difficult to have elegant people! This point is not as good as the Central Plains, it really makes the Lord of Ning Hall laugh!" Savindin's voice came, and at some point, he had already promised his seat to Ning Xin's side, carrying a small pot of wine, and placing it in front of the table.
"Young Master Wending, could it be that you are a rare gentleman in the wilderness?" Ning Xin glanced at Simon, who was silent on the throne, and said, "If you move like this, you are not afraid that your master will blame you for not knowing etiquette!"
"The hall master is too worried!" Savindin stretched out two fingers and said seriously, "The word Yashi, in our wilderness, has another set of words, so the master will not blame, not to mention, I have always been a happy person, and it is also a good intention to drink with you!"
Ning Xin didn't respond, she didn't know why Savendin was so close to her, and naturally she wouldn't believe the so-called good intentions in her heart, although she hadn't seen this person's methods, but she had already learned from Yuan Xuan and Ling'er that this person's methods were despicable, his mind was vicious, and he was a very dangerous person.
"It seems that the hall master must have heard some rumors about Zai Xia from the mouths of others!" Savindin put down his wine glass, stared at Ning Xin and said, "The hall master needs to know, rumors are rumors after all, even if they are true, they may not be able to show a person's quality!
"People on the same road?" Ning Xinleng paused for a moment and said with a smile, "I don't think I have any qualifications to be on a par with Young Master Wen, you are overestimating me!"
"Lord Ning doesn't know himself very well!" Savindin said, "It's no wonder that there are some things, outsiders can see it more clearly, back then, the girl, under the command of Wan Sheng, can be said to be above ten thousand people under one person, that vigorous and resolute means, it is said that in just one hour, thousands of Qingcheng Taoist priests have been killed, I believe that that is the real style of the girl!"
"I can't imagine that there are still people who can put so much thought into me now!" Ning Xin heard some clues, and vaguely guessed Savindin's purpose.
"It's a pity that all saints were stupid later, and they abandoned the big material and didn't use it, causing the hall master's ambition to cover up, and finally fell into the hands of fate and became a vassal of others!" Savindin stared at Ning Xin, hoping to see the fluctuations in her heart, and he said in a regretful voice, "Now the hall master's edge has been covered, which is a pity!"
"Young Master Wen really knows about my past!This makes me very ashamed!" Ning Xin said calmly, "Listen to what you mean, could it be that there is another way to get me out of the current predicament!
"I can't be wrong!" Savindin said confidently, "My admiration for the hall master is definitely from the heart, I think the hall master also understands what I mean, please consider it carefully!"
Ning Xin smiled and didn't answer, just silently picked up the wine glass and touched it lightly with Savindin. Moti behind all this was in her eyes, and her face was puzzled, not understanding what these two people meant.
The excitement in the audience was continuous, Ding Chu came to Simon's side from the side hall and muttered a few words, seeing Simon nodded, he left in a hurry.
"Everyone, be quiet!" Simon spoke again, his face was a little more solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "I invite the lama and the great wizard Nanyi and the eagle crossbow leader Jiang Beichen to enter the hall!"
In an instant, there was silence in the field, and the entry of these two people made the atmosphere of the sacrificial temple an extra burst of gunpowder, which showed that these two clans were not very well received.
For these two people, although Ning Xin has not seen them, he has some understanding, especially Beichen, he is Tuke's junior brother, and he is also a friend of Yuan Xuan, he is not an enemy, but it may not be difficult to do so, when he was in the Central Plains, Yuan Xuan went deep into Mingshan, and he had personally killed four lamas, now think about it, if the other party intends to investigate, it is not difficult to know the truth.
"The lord of the hall of the dignified heart hall actually deigned to be destroyed and occupied the position of chief, how could he have the face to face the ancestors and ancestors of the Western Regions!" Sure enough, as soon as he came in, before he could sit in his position, he stretched out his spearhead and pointed straight at Ning Xin.
"It's hard to be a wizard!" Ning Xin raised his eyebrows and said-for-tat, "You also said that I am a temporary generation and have no right to speak, as for my identity, this is an internal matter in the Western Regions, and I will solve it in the future, so I won't bother you!"
"Sharp teeth!" Nanyi sat in a position under Tuke on the stage, and said coldly, "I heard that fate is deep in the cold, life and death are unknown, I don't know what to do!"
When Ning Xin heard this, her face instantly turned extremely cold, she stood up, her cold eyes scanned all the people present, and found that these people were very calm, obviously this matter was no longer a secret, but no one spoke in front of her.
"The matter of fate and extinction cannot be mentioned yet, I can act as an agent, so I naturally know it in my heart!" Ning Xin said indifferently, "Do you think that your Excellency can underestimate me when you are not there, so you can let out such nonsense!"
"Hehe!" Nan Yi didn't get angry, laughed mockingly, and said, "Your Excellency has the ability to take charge of the five halls of the Western Regions, who dares to underestimate it, but there is one thing that the old man doesn't quite understand, since you are the leader of the five halls, what does it have to do with the Central Plains!
"Old fox!" Ning Xin scolded secretly, such a two-way choice, if she really expressed her position, it would be equivalent to a slap in the face, but after all, she had experienced such intrigues, and responded with a smile, " Since it is difficult for a senior to value the position of the leader of my five halls so much, then I will talk to you about the five halls of the Western Regions, you should know that the purpose of the establishment of the five halls is not to expand and dominate, on the contrary, its establishment is to suppress the occurrence of this kind of thing, in the past, whether it is all saints or the emperor of Tianming, they are all opposed by the five halls, although they did not succeed, but the belief that there is a desire for peace and no war is eternal, which is not the same as the protection of the world advocated by the Qingcheng of the Central Plains, if you have to ask me what I stand here represents, then I represent this belief。 ”
"Pa~Pa~Pa~" Three slaps sounded in this silent hall, but Simon personally applauded and praised, "Miss Ning has such a heart, it seems that no one dares to oppose the chief position of this session!"
"Of course!" Beichen sat down with Ning Xin, and at this moment he also took the initiative to step forward and praised, "Miss Ning said well, it is his blessing to have a confidant like you!"
"Beichen senior, fate to destroy him......" Ning Xin wanted to say something in a low voice, but was stopped by Beichen.
"Don't be so restrained, just let go of your hands and feet, he and the girl named Ling'er are still alive, and they have already gone to Wushan!" Beichen whispered to Ning Xin.
Ning Xin paused for a moment, and then her heart suddenly had endless joy, she seemed to have something to rely on, and even her face was filled with a smile that she couldn't help laughing, the ups and downs of this life came too suddenly.
"Why is Chief Ning laughing!" Savingdin asked, puzzled.
"It's nothing, Master Wending!" Beichen said coldly, "Maybe this day is going to change, and some people are going to be punished!"
