The fire in front of the mountain rushed into the night dome like a dragon about to escape, and the roar and the clashing of blades mingled all over the mountain.

A young green-robed Taoist with a six- or seven-year-old Dao boy in one hand, with a sword in one hand, carved a bloody path in the chaos, and disappeared into the darkness like a falcon.

A few drops of bright red blood were stained on the pale face of the little dao boy who was in the crook of his arm, and his wide eyes were as clear as water, and the reflection was the color of fire and blood.

The green-robed Taoist flew up and went straight to a small building in the middle of the mountain.

This small building is built against the mountain, half of it is in the hollowed-out mountain, and the thick and huge wooden door is like a black beast's mouth, which is extremely slaughtered in the dark.

The green-robed Taoist pushed the door in, put the little Taoist boy on the chair, and quickly pulled out a burden from under the table and stuffed it into her arms, "Ah Ning, listen to me." ”

Xiaodao Tong was holding a ball on his head, his body was very thin, but his face and short fingers were all fleshy, his eyes were black and white, and his little face was stained with a little blood, and he seemed to be frightened by what he had just seen, and his face was full of confusion.

The green-robed Taoist reached out and patted Xiao Tong's face, "Ah Ning." ”

Seeing that the eyes of the Dao boy known as Ah Ning gradually condensed, as if he had come back to his senses, a trace of complicated joy appeared on the young face of the green-robed Daoist, "Our master is in trouble, everyone is fighting the enemy and can't get away, you have to go outside the square to find the divine sword of this sect to save the master." ”

Ah Ning pursed her lips tightly, staring at the green-robed Taoist without speaking.

Listening to the sound of fighting outside, the green-robed Taoist said impatiently, "Did you hear clearly!"

"Second Senior Brother, where is Master?" Ah Ning finally spoke.

"Master has been cheated by bad guys. ”

"Where's the big brother?"

"Senior brother has gone to save Master!"

"That ......"

The Qingpao Daoist interrupted her, "Don't ask, remember what I said, you must not reveal your identity after you arrive outside the square, you can come back if you find the divine sword, if you can't find it for a lifetime, you will return when your life ends naturally, remember that your life will end naturally." The name of this sect's divine sword is Chopping Night, don't you have a piece of jade pendant given to you by the master? ”

"Also, the martial arts of the outsiders are very low, you must not show any clues!" he said, lighting all the candles in the room, muttering words in his mouth, and easily twisted the mechanism hidden next to the bookshelf, and slowly flashed a hole next to it, "Go in, this secret passage leads to Fang Wai." ”

Ah Ning wrote them down one by one, "Second Senior Brother, don't worry, I will definitely find the Divine Sword!"

A smile bloomed on the handsome face of the green-robed Taoist, revealing a terrifying momentum against the backdrop of blood and murderous aura, "Okay." ”

Ah Ning walked into the cave with the burden on his back.

The green-robed Taoist stuffed a candle for her, "Take it, don't extinguish it before you get out of the cave, otherwise you will lose all your efforts." ”

With that, he touched the mechanism again, and the door to the secret passage slowly closed.

Ah Ning looked at the second senior brother with a long body, and her eyes turned red, "You didn't lie to me this time, did you?"

He nodded.

The sound of fighting outside the door was getting closer and closer, and the second senior brother waved his sleeves and knocked over the candlesticks all over the room, and those books were contaminated with something, and as soon as they touched the fire, they burst into flames, and a strong aroma surged in the air.

Ah Ning exclaimed, "Second Senior Brother!"

She saw through the last crack that the green clothes did not rush out, but bolted the door.

The door of the secret room was already closed, and she slammed hard against the cold thick wall and screamed, "Second Senior Brother!

The candlestick in her hand was flickering and flickering, she panicked in her heart, and quickly stopped, her little hand carefully protected the fire, but her body trembled because of the great grief.

Ah Ning's mind was buzzing, but there was only one thought in his heart: don't extinguish, don't extinguish, if the lights go out, the second senior brother will die in vain......

The hand holding the candlestick trembled all the time, and the light in the cave kept jumping.

Ah Ning leaned against the door, and there was clearly a cold stone wall behind her, but she felt extremely hot.

There seemed to be countless cicadas hissing in my ears, and the firelight in front of me overlapped.

With a bang, a qiē fell into darkness.

Before she fell, she thought to herself, it's over......

The lights went out.

……

In "Zhuangzi and the Great Master", it is mentioned that the land outside the square is the world of immortals outside the red dust.

However, some people say that Fang Wai does not necessarily refer to the fairy realm, and it may also be the place where ordinary people live, because it is definitely impossible for immortals to manage only one realm.

Cui Ning has been awake for five days, and he has only seen one person, an old woman who guards the Buddha Hall, who looks older than the old man Liu who used to guard the mountain gate, with more than half of his teeth lost, a shriveled mouth, and a wrinkled face.

The old woman didn't talk much, but she looked at her very gently.

Ah Ning sat in a daze under the old paulownia tree in the courtyard, and the old man was doing needlework under the porch, the courtyard was quiet, the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves was rattling, and the sunlight passed through the dense canopy, leaving a few spots of light on the ground.

In the past few days, Cui Ning's mind could not contain the appearance of the night in which the figure of the second senior brother in the sea of fire became clearer and clearer, as if it was about to penetrate into the blood and carve into the bone marrow, making her feel like she had been scraped by a needle knife. Along with this memory and pain came a bone-chilling coldness and hatred. This surging emotion is a weight that the small body cannot bear, and she has been sluggish for days.

She looked at the light in front of her not the light, it was the scorching fire in the study building that day, and she looked at the tree and it was not a tree, it was the old time when she and her brothers laughed under the tree.

"Girl. ”

The old voice rang in her ears, pulling her back from her memories.

A gust of wind blew, and she realized that her face was full of tears at some point.

"Don't be sad, girl, Madame will take you back in a few days. The old man comforted gently.

Somehow, she suddenly collapsed, as if the emotions that were raging in her body had found an outlet, and she hugged the old man's legs and cried until her mind was dazed and unconscious.

When I woke up again, it was already evening.

She was alone in the empty room, and she got up, stepping barefoot on the cold floor, and gradually began to wake up, and her brain, which seemed to have been frozen for the past few days, was able to turn.

She stood in a daze, touching her slender wrist, still looking skinny.

"Girl. The old man walked in with food, and when he saw her standing barefoot on the ground in a middle coat, he hurriedly put down the things in his hand, pulled her to sit on the couch, and pulled her thin draped over her.

The rough and warm hand held her feet, and her mouth muttered, "The girl doesn't know how to take care of herself, she will survive a strong wind and cold, and her body is weak, how can she stand such a toss." The old slave has already shown Mrs., and Madame will take the girl back tomorrow. ”

Madame? Is it a mother? A Ning felt that her mother would definitely not be able to raise her daughter like a thin monkey! Eighty percent of them were stepmothers. Ah Ning, who grew up under the poison of the second senior brother, began to appear in her little head melon, what kind of mother died, and after her father married her stepmother, the little girl became a little cabbage in the field.

Ah Ning wiped her face indiscriminately while thinking, "I—I don't remember anything at home." ”

After that, she held her breath and looked at the old man's expression cautiously, for fear that she would be torn apart and let people take a bundle of ropes and burn them as goblins.

The old man sighed, and his tone was pitying, "The old slave's surname is Lin, and the girl calls the old slave Mama Lin." ”

"Mama. Cui Ning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Mama Lin didn't suspect it, called sweetly and got up again, "Can I help you sit down?"

Ah Ning was abandoned at the mountain gate when she was still in infancy, and she heard the second senior brother say that when she couldn't speak, she knew that she was pleasing to giggle, and when she was a little older, she couldn't help but pat the horse or something!

Mama Lin let her sit down, looking at her eyes as if they were becoming more and more compassionate, "It's no wonder, the girl had a terrible fever a few days ago, and it took three days to get rid of the fever, where can a good person stand it?"

The girl was a little naughty, and pushed the maid of the Yue family into the pond. A servant girl doesn't matter, it's just that she is out of character in front of guests. It's just in the countryside, but the daughter who was born to our Qinghe Cui family has more rules......"

Mama Lin chattered, her speech was leaky, and her words were not very clear, but Ah Ning listened very carefully and roughly understood her current situation.

It turns out that the name of the girl in this family is also a "condensation" word, and I think this is the legendary fate.

She felt lucky that the lights went out when she was in the cave, but she managed to get to the outside and became the daughter of a certain family.

learned from Mama Lin that this Cui Ning is the second daughter of Cui's eldest daughter, the same age as herself, also eight years old, with a sister above and a younger brother below, all three of them are from the same mother. Cui Ning has now made a mistake and is locked up in the Buddhist hall to think about it, and the high fever does not go away a few days ago...... So she took advantage of it.

Originally, the girl didn't know where the soul was, but Ah Ning didn't think much about it when she thought about it, and accepted this new identity very calmly.

Experiencing such bizarre things firsthand, she felt that her calm expression was really remarkable.

Cui Ning, Cui Ning...... She repeated it in her heart, and said without paying attention, "I also have a surname." ”

"Of course, the girl has a surname, the most noble surname in the world except for the royal family and the descendants. Fortunately, Mama Lin was not suspicious, she said and said, "The old slave has to report the girl's amnesia." ”

Cui Ning was in a cold sweat and nodded hurriedly, "What you want, it's still thoughtful." ”

In this way, she doesn't need to explain everywhere, the second senior brother said before that older people have a lot of knowledge, and they can see through children lying at a glance, although there have been several times when even the master has been fooled by her, but the second senior brother said that the master loved her and deliberately did not debunk it.

She couldn't help but be gloomy, wondering if there was still a chance to ask the master if he had seen through her lies.

"Yes. Cui Ning clenched his fists, as long as he found the magic knife......

Thinking of the divine knife, she hurriedly asked Mama Lin, "Have you ever seen the jade pendant on my body?"

"What did the girl mean the piece that Mrs. Tai gave?" Mama Lin took out a jade pendant with red tassels from the bedside and handed it to her.

The jade pendant used to be tied with blue thread, which was not like this, but she looked at it over and over again, and it seemed that it was indeed that jade.

Cui Ning had a lot of doubts for a while, but she remembered the advice of the second senior brother, and she didn't dare to reveal what she thought in her heart, and all the qiē was only attributed to the two words that she felt were very mysterious-chance.
