Chapter 978: A Lonely Night

The moment Xiaohua appeared, the dark power of the outside world began to rush towards Jiang Ning's eyebrows frantically.

In the void world, there is also dark power, and to some extent, there may be more dark power than in the real world, because there is no such thing as real light here.

Because of Xiao Tiandi, when Jiang Ning came into contact with the corpse of the Immortal in the misty forest, Xiao Tiandi began to spontaneously absorb the energy of the Dark Dao from the outside world.

The rate of absorption is usually very fast.

How fast, for example, if a normal cultivator comprehends the path of darkness, it is like taking a straw with a diameter of less than five millimeters and sucking water on an entire Yunmeng Mizuzawa, and when one day he finishes sucking up the water in the water, this path can be regarded as a complete comprehension.

Therefore, it would take thousands of years, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years for ordinary cultivators to comprehend a path.

But Jiang Ning, his tube was the size of one-tenth of Yunmeng Mizuzawa, and when he would be able to absorb the water in Mizusawa was largely just a matter of the depth of Mizuzawa.

Originally, the speed at which he comprehended the path of darkness was not slow, especially after coming into contact with the corpse of the Immortal, the speed of absorption increased by leaps and bounds.

But right now, when the small black flowers that the scales and totems decomposed bloomed in Jiang Ning's eyebrows, a more magnificent picture scroll unfolded in front of Jiang Ning!

It was no longer a simple path of darkness, it was a path of darkness that had been strengthened by the Immortals' own understanding and gains.

Right now, Jiang Ning's straw mouth seems to have become one-third of Mizuzawa's, and he also poured hundreds of tons of sugar into Mizuzawa with his hand, and when he drank it, it tasted sweet.

Cool?

But he didn't care about feeling that at the moment.

The moment the dark power poured into his body, Jiang Ning immediately re-grasped the bamboo pole, strutted the pole into the water, and used the dark power to push the water flow and accelerate forward.

It was clear that they were going down the river, and the speed at which the two women were going down with the water was also extremely fast, but the boat Jiang Ning was in seemed to be going upstream, and every time he used three points of strength, he could only receive one effect, which made him a little depressed.

But fortunately, the power of darkness is extremely sufficient, as long as you use 30 points of force, you can also achieve 10 points.

And Jiang Ning used a hundred points of force, a thirty percent effect, and the speed of the boat was still far faster than the speed of the two women drifting in the water.

After a while, Jiang Ning successfully intercepted the mother and daughter who were washed away by the water at the edge of the area where the shallow water was converted to deep water.

At night, even though it is summer, there is a cool breeze and water vapor flowing down the river, and it is still a little cold.

Jiang Ning set up a bonfire, caught fish, and sat on the edge of the bonfire to roast and eat.

The faint and distant smell of meat aroused people's appetite, because the mother and daughter who had been in a coma for most of the day woke up one after another.

I haven't eaten for a day, and after falling into the river, I struggled desperately, and my physical strength was extremely high, this number, whether it was Xu Qingqing or Xu Mu, they were already hungry.

Jiang Ning looked at Xu Qingqing and Xu's mother's eager looks, and didn't say much, he directly took the fish that had been skewered, handed it to them, and said, "I want to eat it and bake it myself!"

Mother Xu didn't know who the man in front of her was, but she was in a coma for a whole day, and was rescued by the person in front of her, and she was really hungry after waking up.

On the contrary, although Xu Qingqing was also very hungry, she was not in a hurry to grill the fish, but set her eyes on Jiang Ning.

Although she didn't know the man in front of her, she knew the man's voice.

In the morning, Jiang Ning had just passed the sound into secret, and although she had been in a coma for a while, she would not wake up and forget.

It's just that Xu Qingqing is not a stupid person, her mother is by her side now, and she can't bring it up in person when this person transmits the sound.

looked at Jiang Ning's face a few times fixedly, and saw that the man opposite still didn't mean to speak, so he had to take the fish from Jiang Ning's hand and roast it on the bonfire sullenly.

After Jiang Ning went to the shallows to save two people, he was not hungry, but the process of waiting for the mother and daughter to wake up was too boring, so he used the power of darkness to stun a large number of fish in the water, and found some wattles to weave into a fish basket, and roasted and ate it by the bonfire, so as to find something to do and satisfy the appetite by the way.

That Xu Mu has always believed in the truth that it is a fool not to take advantage of it, so she didn't eat a fish and was not polite, so she directly took a wooden stick and skewered another one in the fish basket, and sat on the edge of the bonfire with a red face and roasted it.

Xu Qingqing was better, after eating a fish, the hunger in her stomach decreased slightly, and her cold body gradually warmed up.

The firelight lined her already slightly reddened cheeks, softening the edges and corners of her face. is obviously a woman who has been a wife for a long time, but in front of Jiang Ning, she showed a trace of coquettishness that only a beautiful girl can have.

For a moment, even Jiang Ning, who was used to seeing beauties, was a little stunned.

"No wonder, no wonder," Jiang Ning said in his heart, "This Xu Qingqingruo's single-round posture is only considered to be in the upper middle, but some inadvertent little expressions, small gestures, are better than those beautiful women, this kind of beauty in the fog, hidden from time to time, is the most fascinating, often can't be found, but inadvertently short-lived, no wonder that the real realm of the abducted immortals, until death still thinking of himself such a childhood sweetheart!"

It's just that Jiang Ning quickly realized that it was not good for him to look at a woman with a heart like this, so he immediately stopped looking over, and also skewered a fish out of the fish basket and roasted it on the bonfire by himself.

Jiang Ning turned his head, but Xu Qingqing still looked at his face steadily.

After a long time, even Jiang Ning was a little uncomfortable, and finally stopped avoiding the woman's gaze, turned his head, and said shamelessly: "I know I'm handsome, but you don't have to look at me like this all the time, right?"

Under the light of the fire, Xu Qingqing's face was already red, and when Jiang Ning said this, he realized his gaffe, hurriedly turned his head away, and skewered a second fish out of the fish basket with a muffled sound and set it on the bonfire.

But as long as a cultivator is not too ugly, as his cultivation deepens, the impurities in his body will be discharged again and again, and his appearance will become more and more handsome and beautiful, and Jiang Ning is naturally no exception.

He inherited the appearance of his father Jiang Ming, and when his cultivation was still shallow, he was already a first-class handsome man, and now he has cultivated to the peak, and he has the moisturization of the way of life for the body, and he is the kind of beautiful man that has not been encountered for thousands of years.

Just now he thought that Xu Qingqing was good-looking, but he didn't want Xu Qingqing to see such a good-looking man for the first time in his life.

Compared with the mediocre-looking Immortal Lu Jie, Jiang Ning is much more handsome now!

Everyone in the world loves beauty, even Jiang Ning, who has almost reached the end of his cultivation in this world, is not exempt from vulgarity, you don't expect a mortal who doesn't even have cultivation to be able to calm down after seeing a beautiful man at the top.

Jiang Ning, who reacted, also smiled in his heart, and suddenly felt that he had underestimated his "beauty", and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart. Electronic Chinese Network

Then, the opinion of Xu Qingqing in his heart was more or less reduced.

As a human being, you can't just allow the governor to set fires and not allow the people to light lamps.

Since you Jiang Ning can look at other people's beauties and be fascinated, don't you allow Xu Qingqing to look at Brother Jun'er?

Thinking about it like this, Jiang Ning was relieved.

The long silence made the atmosphere between the three of them a little awkward, because it was not clear what Jiang Ning was thinking, so Xu Qingqing sat there and struggled for a long time, and finally spoke: "Thank you Shaoxia for saving my mother's life, I don't know what Shaoxia is called?"

"Jiang Ning. ”

"Jiang Shaoxia! Oh, it turned out to be Jiang Shaoxia! I really admired the name for a long time!" Before Xu Qingqing could answer, Xu's mother was already there and said: "I don't know how expensive you are this year, where do you live, and your parents are alive?"

Jiang Ning rolled his eyes in his heart, and said in his heart: "Haven't you admired the name for a long time, why don't you know anything?"

Of course, he didn't say anything on his face, just hummed coldly, indicating that he had heard, and as for the woman's other words, he didn't answer a word.

First, the Kidnapping Immortal is not a person from the East Court Domain, but a true powerhouse on another continent, Jiang Ning has really not been to other continents for so many years, and he doesn't know where there are places, as for himself, he doesn't know where his hometown is, after all, he is also an orphan, he has been wandering around since he was a child, where is there any hometown. Moreover, even if he said it, a mortal on the other side would not know where this place in the East Court Domain was.

Therefore, Xu Mu's sentence, except for Gui Geng's article that Jiang Ning can answer, the rest is almost all nonsense.

Moreover, in fact, even if it was nonsense, Jiang Ning didn't bother to talk to that woman.

A woman who doesn't even care about her daughter's life or death for money, Jiang Ning doesn't know what he has to say to this kind of person.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was Xu Qingqing's mother, and if she died, Xu Qingqing might feel that she had no face to live in the future, and she might seek death, and Jiang Ning didn't bother to save that cold woman when she saved people before.

Xu Qingqing knew what kind of character his mother was, and also understood that since Jiang Ning was able to tell him that Lu Jie was not dead before, he was probably quite clear about the affairs of their family, and when he was by the river, he had seen the dispute between himself and his mother nine times out of ten, and it was normal for Jiang Ning to dislike her and not be willing to deal with her.

Mother Xu is not a fool, when she sees that people are not willing to take care of herself, she will not go up to make up for that boring, anyway, her life has been saved now, and her daughter, the cash cow, has not died, everything is fine.

After the two of them were full of food and drink, Jiang Ning stood up, didn't look at the mother Xu, and said to Xu Qingqing, I have something to tell you, let's go.

Xu Qingqing looked at Jiang Ning, this should be regarded as a stranger, for strangers, a woman should be vigilant, but thinking of the transmission to himself by the river before, and the later rescue of the mother and daughter after they fell into the river, if he had bad intentions, their mother and daughter would have died in the morning.

Coupled with Jiang Ning's handsome face that made a woman feel good when she saw her, Xu Qingqing finally chose to believe Jiang Ning, and after a little hesitation, she nodded at him, and from beginning to end, she didn't look back at her mother.

The two stood side by side, ready to leave.

But Xu's mother shouted from behind: "What about me?

Jiang Ning turned around, glared at the woman coldly, and turned his head away.

At that glance, it was like a cold sword piercing Xu Mu's eyebrows, and for a moment, she almost felt like she was about to die.

Cold as snow that has not melted for thousands of years, Jiang Ning's gaze carries a kind of spiritual coercion that a Dao and Realm master should have, although that kind of coercion is only a fleeting moment, but the kind of gaze that seems to see her through from head to toe is like a sharp sword piercing into her chest, bringing out an emotion called humiliation.

Jiang Ning's contemptuous eyes made Xu Mu feel very hurt, if she had her previous temper, she would have rushed up to fight that man regardless of it.

But now, Jiang Ning was standing in front of her, less than a foot away, but she didn't even have the courage to take a step forward, or just scold the man.

She even felt that as long as she dared to say another word, the next moment, that sword-like gaze might really turn into a sword, bloody through her body, and make him shut up forever.

And Jiang Ning originally planned to do so.

Fortunately, that Xu Mu still valued her own life more after all, and was so frightened by Jiang Ning's Yuan Shen power, in the end she didn't say anything, and sat back stupidly, holding the fish basket with seven or eight fish left, holding a wooden stick alone and skewering another fish, and roasting it on the bonfire.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you take her or not, because this is just the downstream of the original river, and you can return to your original position in less than an hour along the river on the bank, and the reason why she wants to follow Jiang Ning and Xu Qingqing is because it is night, there is no one around, and everything is silent, for a woman, it is still a little scary, to make her spit out the money in her hand again, it is more serious than killing her.

Therefore, Mother Xu wanted to go back and inform Wu Lao Liu about this matter almost immediately after Jiang Ning and the others left, Wu Lao Liu still had a lot of ruffians and hooligans under him to listen to him and do things, plus his influence on the county master's side, it would not be difficult to find Jiang Ning and Xu Qingqing back at that time.

However, as soon as she wanted to get up, she suddenly realized that Jiang Ning and Xu Qingqing were originally walking in the direction of the upper reaches of the river, and looking at the previous meaning of the people, it was clear that they didn't want her to follow, if they wanted to go back now, if the speed was not as fast as Jiang Ning and the others, then after going back, tell Wu Lao Liu, although it is not necessarily impossible to find anyone, it is better than looking for trouble now, but if they catch up, it will annoy Jiang Ning, and whether the small life can be saved or not is between the two at that time.

Not to mention the side first, it was Jiang Ning who deliberately carried the long sword behind her back, and the occasional sharp edge when she turned around made her feel cold all over her body.

She knew that that very good-looking handsome Housheng really dared to kill!

That's how people are, when you talk to someone in a good voice, that person doesn't take you seriously, but when your attitude suddenly becomes tougher, the whole world seems to become softer.

Jiang Ning knows deeply that when dealing with such a woman, you have to be more ruthless, more indifferent, and stronger than him, so that she will fear you, obey you, and even worship you.

That Xu Mu sat on the edge of the campfire, hesitated back and forth for a long time, and couldn't think of a good way, because no matter what, as long as she chased along the riverbank, she would definitely run into Jiang Ning, but although that handsome offspring saved her life, she felt that if possible, it was best not to see that person again in this life!

After hesitating for a long time, Mother Xu finally let out a long breath, and as the breath held in her chest was discharged, she finally gave up catching up, and sat quietly by the campfire, eating grilled fish, adding charcoal, and waiting for dawn.

The last straw that crushed her to catch up was the forest and the river in the darkness.

When Jiang Ning and the two of them were by her side, she didn't feel anything, but now when the two of them were far away, she wanted to leave again, and found that the forest at night seemed to be full of danger, and she didn't even have the courage to take a single step.

Flame, in the dark, is the most secure thing.

Fortunately, Jiang Ning had planned to leave her here alone, so the firewood prepared next to the bonfire was very sufficient, not to mention burning for one night, just the two piles that were built into a hill, as long as the firewood was continued properly, even if it burned him for five days and five nights.

The night breeze was blowing, because it was by the river, so even if she was sitting by the bonfire, it was still a little cold behind her, Xu Mu simply stood up, pulled down a pile of firewood, piled it high, surrounded herself, and formed a circle, blocking part of the night wind around her.

She roasted the fire with one hand, grabbed the grilled fish inserted on the stick with the other, and cursed while eating, "Jiang Ning, you wait, wait for me to go back and find Wu Lao Liu, you feel good!"
