It was very peaceful last night.

It's like yesterday's sandstorm, which looks scary, but in fact it's just a layer of sand. And that layer of sand covered up the bright red bloodstains.

The conflict between Tsing Yi Lane and the small alley was turned into a drunken brawl between two groups, and the Tiandu Yamen sent three people to investigate, but the case file was not written, so the matter was hastily settled.

The merchant who got some news from his relatives observed through the crack in the window for most of the night, but he didn't see a single movement, and he was worried in vain, and he couldn't help but slander: he beat all day long, and not a day was true. If you have the ability to fight the imperial city, you will know that he is disturbing the people!

The small alley closed all the doors, and the big gamblers scolded them, declaring that they would never come to this dog place again; Tsing Yi Lane also lost the manpower of Cao Yun and land transport, no one commanded and no one worked, and the docks and stations became a little chaotic. But these things, in the night, gradually subsided.

It's a night like this, and it's a little outrageously quiet.

——

Hu Ran yawned, about to open the door, and was startled when he caught a glimpse of someone in the study.

"Young master, you got up so early!" Hu Ran opened the door and said lazily.

Ning Du raised his head, looked at Hu Ran with bloodshot eyes, smiled, and said, "I understand." ”

"Young master, you won't have slept all night, right?" Hu Ran took two steps forward and stopped again. She had also drawn those pictures of teeth and claws, and it was a real headache. Since the young master came back from Qingteng Garden yesterday, he seemed to be stunned, and he didn't eat dinner, so he stayed in the study to look at the pictures, and didn't let himself be disturbed.

After a whole night, Ning Du finally understood the painting Shang Chonggu gave him yesterday, and he was indescribably happy, and immediately wanted to try a new finger sword, which would be a whole new world.

"This morning, let's go eat Yangchun noodles. ”

"Okay!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Hu Ran said to himself suspiciously: "Who is it so early in the morning? Young master, I'll take a look." ”

Ning Du stretched his waist and walked out to wash his face. Sima E didn't have a class today, so he just had a morning break, and he could do anything, anyway, he was very happy since yesterday.

"Young Master, looking for you. After a while, Hu Ran shouted at the door.

Ning Du wiped his face, walked to the door, and found that there were two people dressed as yamen outside the door.

"What's the matter?"

"Are you Ning Du, a student in the Qingteng Garden?" asked the visitor politely.

"Hmm. ”

"There's something I need to ask you to go. Seeing that Ning Du still didn't understand his intention, he simply said, "Dragon Scale Book, have you heard of it?"

"Nope. ”

"All the people in my Ming territory need to be registered. Ordinary people are fish scales, but cultivators like you are dragons. Under normal circumstances, you have to go to the empty light realm, not to mention that you are already difficult to do now. ”

"Do you have to go?" Ning Du was a little vigilant in his heart.

"That's what the Great Ming Law stipulates. ”

"Must go now?"

"It's better that now, we're going to have to tell people to register. You, it's better to go now. The person who came still said politely, and glanced at Ning Du.

Ning Du felt that something was wrong and wanted to refuse, but looking at the appearance of the servant, he would not leave. He glanced at Hu Ran and said, "You go eat first, and I'll be back later." ”

"Hmm...... Then young master, do you still want to be the same as before?"

"Big bowl, I'm a little hungry this morning. ”

"Okay, come back early, or the noodles will be cold. ”

"Hmm. ”

Ning Du followed the officials along the way, and after three checks, he came to a place called "Jixiang Yuan".

"You can go inside and register, it won't take you a quarter of an hour. The way out is on the west side. Try not to talk to anyone, there will be someone to greet you inside. These things have been arranged," the last sentence of the official was obviously aggravated. "The little one still has something to do here, so I won't accompany you. ”

Ning Du nodded and looked around. Although these two officials had no malicious intent, he still had uneasiness in his heart.

The flow of heaven and earth vitality in the Jixiang Courtyard is very obscure, giving people the feeling of being blocked in the chest. If you run the bucket turn, I'm afraid it will be more than twice as slow as usual. Rao is Ning Du's insight ability, and he can't see the distribution of vitality here. If you want to use force here, your strength will be cut by at least half. What's more, there are still many points with a strong atmosphere here, and I am afraid that there are more than three powerhouses sitting there.

"Maybe that's the formation. ”

In broad daylight, the power department representing the Ming Dynasty should not have any unspeakable conspiracy. Anyway, I've arrived here, and I'm going to go through the sword mountain and the sea of fire.

After explaining his intention and his name, Ning Du was led to a bluestone room and sat down, and someone opposite him was sitting in a precarious position, studying ink.

"Name. The scribe lifted the pen, dipped it in a special ink, and hung it in front of a piece of gold paper.

"Ning Du. ”

"Age. ”

"XVI. ”

"Parents. ”

"Nope. ”

"Address. ”

"Tiandu, Chaomingfang, Gualiu Hutong. ”

"Teacher?"

"Green Vine Garden, Green Plum Garden. ”

The man glanced up at Ning Du and asked, "You are Shang Chonggu's student?"

"Yes. ”

"Come here, put your mudra on your blood, and release a breath of vitality to be printed on this piece of paper. ”

Ning sat alone on the stool and did not move immediately.

"How?"

Once others saw his blood, Ning Du didn't dare to guarantee that no accident would happen. At first, the old cat only licked a drop of his own blood, and his dead corpse drove the humble insects crazy. It is hard to imagine what it would be like for a practitioner to encounter his blood. What the secret on his body is, he can't tell it himself, let alone let people know.

"Come here and press the print. The other party reminded him.

Formation, countless powerhouses of the Three Realms. With these two things alone, Ning Du couldn't resist. Inexplicably, it has already fallen into a huge crisis. He walked forward, thinking of a way.

Ten steps.

Nine steps.

Three steps.

One-step.

It's as if someone has been strangled by someone little by little, and there is no strength to resist at all. At this moment, Ning Ducai felt how weak he was. The second realm is too weak. Ning Du stood in front of the other party's table and slowly stretched out his hand, but unexpectedly, the other party suddenly grabbed his hand.

Flick your finger sword!

"The reaction is not slow, and the strength is good. It's just that the speed of this finger flick sword is really a bit scary, and you must have completely mastered the flick sword. It's a pity that you've just entered the second realm, otherwise I might not be able to hold you down. The recorder, who had always been serious, smiled, and gently pressed Ning Du's hand on the gold paper that had already been written.

A drop of blood congealed from the reporter's finger, and along with a wave of vitality, it was printed on the paper.

Ning Du was stunned and understood the other party's intentions.

"Alright, you can go. The transcript officer regained his seriousness again and glanced at Ning Du.

Ning Du, who was shocked into a cold sweat, nodded and turned to leave. Presumably Shang Chonggu arranged all this and forged an identity for himself. It's just that if you don't tell yourself in advance, you're really playing with people's heartbeats.

For rulers, the dragon scale book with traces of blood and their own vitality is undoubtedly an effective means of restraining cultivators. But for cultivators, it is undoubtedly a deadly shackle.

Shang Chonggu did this in order to leave a guarantee for Ning Du in the future. Even if it comes at a high cost, it's worth it. He had arranged this from the beginning, and it was only to this day.

"Three realms, if you encounter it, you still can't resist, you're still too weak. If you do, you have to fight, how can you escape?"

"Di Mingyue...... I hope you haven't recognized me yet......"

Ning Du walked out of the "Jixiang Courtyard" and took a long breath, but his mood was still a little heavy. When he reached the door, his frowning brow relaxed.

"Hu Ran, I'm back, where's Yangchun noodles?" Ning Du searched every room, but didn't see Hu Ran, and went out to look for it again, but he still didn't see it.

"Where did you go? I know that I don't have classes this morning, so I won't go to Qingteng Garden. So where can she go?" Ning Du stood at the door and looked down and pondered, and suddenly saw the broken bowl on the ground and the Yangchun noodles scattered all over the ground.

"Something's wrong?!"

Ning Du's heart was suddenly startled, and cold sweat immediately broke out.

"Something's wrong?"

"Something happened to Hu Ran?"

"Can't mess around!"

"No mess around!"

"Calm down!"

"Calm down!"

"Calm down!"

"Be quiet again!"

"Quiet!"

Ning Du took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and turned himself into a speck of dust from heaven and earth.

"Be quiet again!"

"We need to be quiet!"

"Be quiet again!"

"Be quiet again. ”

"Quiet. ”

"Silent ......"

“......”

"Insight!"

All the vitality flow of Tiandu instantly reflected in Ning Du's mind, becoming a chaotic three-dimensional ink painting. It's like a sea, squeezed into a bean. The pain was so intense that Ning Du's head almost exploded, and blood immediately flowed out of his nostrils.

Suddenly, Ning Du opened his eyes.

"Found it!"

Ning independently rushed out.
