Chapter 981: Qingqing's doubts
The flames burned vigorously, but the remnants of the leaves turned to ashes slowly.
Jiang Ning knew that this was because the quality of those trees was very high, and they were infused with the power of darkness, even more so after a transformation of the internal structure.
If the quality is high, if you want to burn it completely clean, it will naturally be very slow.
With so many corpses of the tree people, it meant that Jiang Ning and Xu Qingqing could spend a considerable period of time safely under the protection of these flames.
Xu Qingqing has no opinion on this, for her, as long as she can stay with Jiang Ning, it is already very good, not to mention this kind of time when the two of them are alone, the longer the better.
On the other hand, Jiang Ning is not as optimistic as Xu Qingqing.
Staying in this flame, safety is safe, and he can also recover his strength here and adjust his state to the peak.
Moreover, such a means can be used all the time, anyway, the most important thing around is those treemen, after killing, flush and erect a wall of flames to prevent subsequent treemen from entering, and then continue to recover their strength, and so on, even if there are more of those treemen, there will always be a day when they will be killed.
However, Jiang Ning knew that such a strategy could only ensure his own safety, but could not guarantee the life of Lu Jie, who was hiding somewhere in the forest.
The longer the time drags on, the greater the danger to him.
And Jiang Ning knew that this misty forest was originally set up for that "Lu Jie", and if he died, his mission to enter the secret realm of the abducted immortals this time would almost fail.
What is the consequence of failure, Jiang Ning is not clear, of course, he thinks that a true immortal who has died may not be able to do anything to himself, but in this secret realm, the last and most important benefit is destined to be in his hands.
Speaking of benefits, the benefits obtained in the Tianhe Trial this time are actually much more than the benefits that Jiang Ning has obtained in other places in his life.
But the so-called excellence, no one will dislike themselves to become better, and the same is true for Jiang Ning.
After taking out enough food and water from Xiaotiandi for Xu Qingqing's use, Jiang Ning meditated cross-legged and recovered his strength.
For most masters, the recovery of physical strength is faster than the recovery of the true element.
But here with Jiang Ning, everything is reversed.
Not to mention that the several mental methods he mastered were the most advanced methods on the Eastern Court Continent, this kind of thing was not difficult for him to "return qi", and what was even more terrifying was that the existence of the small world made him not have to worry about the exhaustion of energy at all, when he used energy, what he needed to worry about was always whether his body could withstand it, not how much it would consume.
In other words, as long as Jiang Ning is still alive and his little world has not collapsed, then he will not have to worry about the energy in his body being depleted in his life.
Even if the energy in this world is exhausted, he can still draw energy from the universe with his own small world.
The total amount of energy in the universe is constant, and it will circulate, resulting in energy abundance or depletion from time to time, but not all the energy in all places will be depleted at once, so energy replenishment is not a problem for Jiang Ning at all.
On the contrary, physical strength is different.
No matter who it is, even if it is a true master, or even the highest level of existence in the giant scorpion palace world, if the physical strength is used up, it will be used up, and it will take a certain amount of time to recover little by little.
Of course, for a person like Jiang Ning, who has never lacked "supplements", the recovery of physical strength is actually very fast, and the so-called slowness is only for the speed of his true yuan recovery.
There is no day in the Misty Forest today, only night.
So, after a quiet night in the middle of the raging "fire fence", the two woke up in the middle of the night and it was still dark.
Xu Qingqing followed Jiang Ning's example, sat cross-legged on the ground, supported his chin with one hand, and looked at Jiang Ning fixedly under the reflection of the firelight.
This was the third hour he had looked at Jiang Ning like this.
Jiang Ning is a big master, even if he closes his eyes, he won't even notice such a little sight, but first, he wants to cultivate quietly to recover his strength, there is no need to interrupt his rhythm for such a trivial matter, he specially stopped talking to Xu Qingqing, and when he came to Yungong, half of his mind was put on thinking about the specific position of Lu Jie, and he had no time to take care of anything else, this third, the surrounding area is a wall of fire, and the periphery of the wall of fire is an endless number of monsters, carefully calculated, Xu Qingqing's surroundings, Jiang Ning is still a little bit of a person, don't look at what he sees, do you want people to look at the black and oppressive, haze like a dripping skyοΌ
Thinking like this, Jiang Ning didn't care about anything.
It will take a long time for the surrounding flames to burn clean, and at the moment when he has not yet come up with a good solution, Jiang Ning will not only take action again, after all, if it is really like before, killing tree people one by one to light the wall of fire, and so on, it is simply unrealistic.
In fact, half an hour ago, Jiang Ning's physical strength had almost recovered, but because he didn't think of any good way, he simply took the opportunity to close his eyes and recuperate.
It's just that the information at hand is really scarce, so I can't come up with any good ideas after thinking about it.
When people can't figure out something, it is always easy to get into the horns, and once the thinking reaches a dead end, it is not easy to come out no matter what.
Jiang Ning didn't want to let himself fall into such a entanglement, and he couldn't figure it out, so he opened his eyes.
"Am I that good-looking?" Jiang Ning smiled: "You stared at me for a few hours, don't you feel bored!"
The blush on Xu Qingqing's face flashed, after all, she was already a woman who had gone through personnel, although this so-called personnel only existed in "memory", and she herself was actually quite complete, but after all, the psychological thickness was better than that of ordinary Yunying unmarried women.
With a sly smile, Xu Qingqing stroked the hair on his sideburns and said, "Yes, you are the one I have ever seen, oh no, you are the best-looking one among the men who have existed in my memory!"
Jiang Ning raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It seems that you really understand the meaning of what I said to you before." β
Xu Qingqing blinked and said, "You think I'm too stupid." β
"You used to be stupid. Jiang Ning smiled, "But now it seems that there is some enlightenment!"
"It's not too late to get the hang of it!" Xu Qingqing said.
"It's not too late," Jiang Ning said: "The saints have all said, and when they hear it, they can die at night." β
"Then I'm still alive and well, isn't it even more clever than a saint?" Xu Qingqing said with a smile.
"Hey," Jiang Ning pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Don't think too much of those saints, if you can really see one or two of them one day, maybe you will be disappointed!" 000 literature
"Really?" Xu Qingqing said with some suspicion: "Although I haven't read much, I have also heard that those saints have the world in mind and work for the well-being of the people!
"Hehe, a group of bad old men who love to pick their feet," Jiang Ning said: "It's true that I have the world in my heart, and it's true to keep my name clear, in addition, but also for myself to be able to eat two mouthfuls of food, if I don't grind those mouths, the saint is afraid that sometimes he can only drink the northwest wind!"
Xu Qingqing rolled his eyes and said: "You say people so badly, are you better than others?"
"I don't dare to say whether it's good or not, although those old guys are full of benevolence and morality, in fact, they will only let others do good deeds and die generously, while they themselves talk wildly, and they have never done a good thing by themselves, which is very hypocritical," Jiang Ning said: " But their indoctrination still played a role after all, and those fools who listened to their indoctrination did a lot of good things in disregard of their own interests and safety, and to a certain extent, these guys have done more good things than anyone else in the world, so it depends on how it compares, if it is to look at the good things I have done, then I estimate that the ten of them together are not as much as one of me, but if you count the functions of their indoctrination, then I am naturally far behind. β
Xu Qingqing laughed when he heard this, "Speaking of which, you are still inferior to others, and besides, you have done so many good things stupidly, aren't you also one of the fools, in the end, among the good things you have done, there is also a merit of other people's saints!"
Jiang Ning was speechless, so he had to smile, and said in his heart: "You have to be so smart earlier, where are there so many bad things?"
As if he could see something from Jiang Ning's expression, Xu Qingqing smiled and said: "Sometimes this person, enlightenment is a matter of a moment, before that he was ignorant, after that, no matter what he sees, it is different." β
Jiang Ning smiled, "This is probably the feeling that everyone who has died once will have!"
Xu Qingqing was surprised that Jiang Ning completely saw his thoughts, and said, "You are so powerful, will you have such an experience?"
"It seems that you are still a little stupid," Jiang Ning smiled, "Where is someone so powerful from the beginning, I have also come step by step from you now, although my path seems smoother than many people, but it is impossible to say that I have not experienced a few near-death situations." β
Because he didn't know how to practice, he didn't realize these things before he spoke, and as soon as Jiang Ning said this, Xu Qingqing immediately reacted.
"Yes, if you want to cultivate to the point where you are now, I'm afraid that you have experienced much more life and death tribulations than me," Xu Qingqing said: "You... Can you teach me how to cultivate?"
Xu Qingqing originally thought that Jiang Ning would think about it before answering.
But she didn't expect Jiang Ning to even talk nonsense, and pointed directly at her eyebrows, and as the bright white energy was injected into her eyebrows, a sentence of scripture, a meridian map of qi induction and luck appeared in her mind without warning.
The core method of Qingxuan's Lanque Gate cannot be passed on, but the outer door mental method, as well as those mental methods that Jiang Ning had seen in the Southern Tang Dynasty Hidden Scripture Pavilion back then, were not among them.
Jiang Ning could see at a glance that Xu Qingqing, like him, was a wood phase spiritual root, and in order to create his own mental method according to his own sword path over the years, he didn't know how many cultivation techniques he had seen.
Especially after entering the abyss, many people who enter the abyss with their mental methods, because of the scarcity of aura, those mental methods have become waste paper, and if the abyss human beings still have a glimmer of hope to be able to return to the yang realm, they would have thrown away those useless things long ago, even so, there are many damaged and lost methods in the abyss, but there are still some remaining mental methods.
These waste paper-like things can be exchanged for some spiritual energy, pills, food from the Yang Realm, spiritual fruits, spiritual grass, and Yuan Shi that only exist in the Yang Realm from Jiang Ning, and there is naturally an endless stream of people coming, plus Jiang Ning is quite popular in the abyss, and there are really a lot of mental methods received.
Not only the wood phase spirit root, but also the five elements, the alien spirit root, and even those who are only suitable for those with special physiques have methods to practice.
It's just that although he has seen a lot over the years, Jiang Ning thinks that his accumulation is not enough, and his ideas are not mature enough, so he has never started to create his own unique mental method.
After all, whether it is the Wood Emperor Sutra or the Tianxun Bone Record, or the shocking Spring and Autumn Dew, they are all created by the people who stand on the top of the continent with their life's work, and it is not something that he can surpass by relying on his own little cleverness and spending more than ten or twenty years.
Jiang Ning still felt that when he first integrated those rules, Dao, True Meaning, spells, runes, and formation Dao with his own swordsmanship, it would be more appropriate to create a matching mental method according to his own technique, so it was more appropriate to create a matching mental method according to his own technique after becoming a faction, so this matter was still in the making until now, and Jiang Ning estimated that it would be possible to wait at least ten years to see the resultsγ
As the soft white light disappeared, Jiang Ning chuckled, "The Heart of the Afternoon Pavilion , Although it is only a trick heart, but the five spirit wood heart technique contained in it, ingenious, it means that you have five more wood spirit hearts in addition to the heart of the body, and the six hearts are quenched at the same time, and the speed of advancement in the early stage of cultivation is very fast, and the stamina is also very strong, and it is also equal to five more lives in plain vain, even if the heart is destroyed, there is a wooden heart, it will not die, and the six hearts are interconnected with each other, as long as there is still a heart, the rest of the heart can be slowly recovered in the next time, and the ability to save life is also very good, there is such a heart method, you don't need to think about changing your mind before you practice to the Heavenly Pattern Realm. β
"But those five wooden hearts, where can I find them?"
Jiang Ning smiled and flipped his hand, and five kinds of wood-phase spirit objects floated and rotated above his palm.
"You don't have to look for it, I can't say anything else here, but the wood phase has the most spiritual objects, the quality of these five pieces, it's enough to be your wood heart, and if you encounter better materials in the future, you can also replace it yourself." β
Xu Qingqing carefully took the materials of the five wooden hearts from Jiang Ning's hand, and said solemnly: "Thank you, Pingshui meets, do so much for me!"
"It's not a Pingshui meeting," Jiang Ning said with a smile: "In a sense, I entered that void world to find you!"
Xu Qingqing's expression darkened slightly, and he didn't answer, but turned his head and looked at the wooden wall, and there seemed to be a raging flame in his eyes.
Jiang Ning noticed the woman's mood change, but he didn't know what it was, let alone what Xu Qingqing was thinking at the moment, so he also slowly looked away and fell on the flame that was burning in the darkness.
A ray of cold light flashed, Jiang Ning only felt a trance in front of him, and shifted his gaze to Xu Qingqing's side, only then did he notice the long sword in her hand.
In the process of turning the void into reality, Jiang Ning once used the power of nothingness to help Xu Qingqing get out of nothingness and come to this real world.
However, in that process, Jiang Ning's power of nothingness naturally covered the sword, in fact, including Xu Qingqing's clothes, as well as everything on her body, was covered by Jiang Ning's power of nothingness.
But in fact, in that process, Xu Qingqing's sword did not absorb a trace of the power of nothingness at all.
It is a real sword in itself.
In other words, the previous void world was so small, and the power of the void contained in it was so weak, it stands to reason that it should have collapsed directly, but it wasn't until Jiang Ning left that side of the void world with Xu Qingqing that the world began to collapse.
Although this difference was very subtle, Jiang Ning was so careful that he naturally noticed the fact that the sword was not nothing.
But he didn't care too much about it, there will be some real things in every void world, because when the power of nothingness is rich to a certain extent, it will spontaneously transform from void to reality, and the original real world is formed by the void world after trillions of years of evolution and accumulation.
A real sword is not a windfall.
But now, Jiang Ning only realized that it was not Xu Qingqing's departure that caused the collapse of that void world, but the fact that this sword was taken away.
Taking away a person will not lead to the collapse of the void world, because after Jiang Ning arrives, the power of the void released here is enough to create thousands of such women, it stands to reason that the space there should become more stable, but as soon as they leave with their front feet, the world on their back feet will collapse, obviously, the core of that small void world is not Xu Qingqing, but the sword she is holding in her hand!
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning breathed a long sigh of relief, "The so-called blind eye, not seeing Mount Tai, it turns out that the key to solving the problem is really in response to the sentence 'far away in the sky, close in front of you'!"
Xu Qingqing turned his head and looked at Jiang Ning with a smile on his face with some confusion.
"What are you talking about?"
