Chapter 360: The Gift
The situation in the demon world is stable, everything is over, and everything is left to Xu Xingzhou and Fang Shaoyun to deal with.
Hong Ningxiang once again became the shopkeeper, the long-standing haze was swept away, his mood improved, and he had a lot of free time, Hong Ningxiang cultivated in the Tianquan Immortal Pool.
Shi Dingfeng went out early in the morning, didn't say where to go, Hong Ningxiang sat alone by the pool, under the nourishment of Tianquan immortal energy, she could feel that her body gradually became light and flexible, after a long time, the whole person seemed to be integrated with the surrounding immortal energy.
After half an hour of cultivation, Hong Ningxiang planned to rest for a while, but when he opened his eyes, he was startled.
In the mist, a man stood.
He seemed to have been standing for a long time.
The silver-white robe fluttered slightly in the wind, and the dark boots were stained with spring water, shining in the sun, which made it even more obvious that the person was like a Zhilan jade tree, competing with the people.
"Senior Brother Zhu, you ...... When did you come?"
Hong Ningxiang stood up, the bluestone under her feet was as slippery as a mirror, she stumbled and almost fell into the pool, Zhu Chenfeng stretched out his hand, Hong Ningxiang didn't wait for him to help, he held the screen next to him.
This screen is still placed here by Liu Qingming.
She remembered the past, let go of her hand like an electric shock, and smiled awkwardly: "Why didn't you call me when you came?"
"I saw that you were cultivating, so I didn't bother. ”
Zhu Chenfeng glanced at the screen and spring pool behind her, "This place is very suitable for cultivation. Looking at the scale of this spring pool, it must have taken some effort for Senior Brother Ye to build it. It seems that Senior Brother Ye is doing well here. ”
"The ten years that I was separated from Yechin. I always thought he was having a hard time, but I didn't expect that we were all wrong. Hong Ningxiang smiled. Pointing to the gorgeous palace in the distance, "Look at it, there is the Heavenly Palace, which is the place where the Demon Lord has daily deliberations, and then look at here, the spring pond is the place where he cultivates every day." Xianyun Pavilion is where he rests, and over there, is Snow Garden. When guests come, they stay there. Xiangyuan is the place where the Demon Lord and his men relax. There are also ten demon camps, which are where he trains his troops. His life was not only comfortable, but also fulfilling. ”
"That guy played us around. Zhu Chenfeng sighed. "It's a pity. I tried to fight him, but I didn't get a chance. ”
"......" Hong Ningxiang breathed a sigh of relief, he spoke in such a ridiculous tone, did it mean that he had forgiven Liu Qingming?
"Forget it, don't mention him. Zhu Chenfeng smiled, "I just met the Ninth Master." ”
"Ninth Master is in trouble with you?" Hong Ningxiang looked at him nervously. No wonder Shi Dingfeng went out early in the morning to settle accounts with Zhu Chenfeng?
"Nope. Just a few words. ”
Zhu Chenfeng's answer was beyond her expectations.
Hong Ningxiang saw that his smile was like a spring breeze, and he put his heart back in his stomach.
"Xiang'er. I have to go back to the alliance with Elder Yu and them. Zhu Chenfeng said, "I'll leave today." ”
"So fast?!" Hong Ningxiang blurted out. "I also want to treat you to a meal, thank you for taking care of Ming'er. There is also the trouble that the alliance came to me this time, and thanks to Senior Brother Zhu's help, I want to thank you well. ”
"I have received your wishes, as for eating, it is better to owe it first, and you can make up for it when you have the chance, how about it?"
"Then it's decided, you can't forget it in the future. Hong Ningxiang happily responded, but there was some unspeakable loss, knowing that there was no banquet in the world, but when it came to separation, it was inevitable that he was a little reluctant.
"Listening to what the Ninth Master said, do you plan to return to the Heavenly Extreme Cultivation Realm?" Zhu Chenfeng asked softly.
"Well, I want to go back to my hometown. Hong Ningxiang said, "What about you?"
"I'm going to go back to the Cultivation Realm and find my grandfather to check on something. ”
Zhu Chenfeng said, without waiting for her to answer, and said, "Xiang'er, goodbye today, I don't know when I will see you again, I want to send you a gift." ”
He lowered his head and took out a delicate brocade box from the Qiankun bag.
Hong Ningxiang saw that there were two strands of black hair scattered from his sideburns, the roots of the hair were shining with silver-white light, the black hair was brushed, and the fingers were as slender as jade, and several thin scars on the wrists were inadvertently revealed, criss-crossed, shocking.
She was taken aback, and just wanted to ask how the scar came from, but his sleeve slipped, covering the scar, and the brocade box had already been handed over, "It's not a rare thing, it's just a forbidden treasure, if you encounter any difficult enchantments or prohibitions, you can use it to try." Usually wear it on the chest, and when not in use, it also has a heart protection effect. ”
"It's so precious, I, I can't accept ......it," Hong Ningxiang stammered, and didn't think about why he gave this gift, if he let the ninth master know, wouldn't he overturn the vinegar jar again.
"Take it. Zhu Chenfeng pushed the brocade box, his eyes calm, "You were arrested in the demon world, how can I say that I am also at fault, this thing should be regarded as an apology." If you don't accept it, you won't accept my apology. ”
"Okay. Hong Ningxiang accepted the brocade box, raised his head and smiled, "The matter has passed, Senior Brother Zhu, you won't be obsessed with it in the future." ”
"Hmm. Zhu Chenfeng glanced at her one last time, "You too." After returning to his hometown, he will have a good time with Jiu Ye in the future, and don't run away from home at every turn. ”
"Got it, Senior Brother Zhu. You're still so long-winded. Hong Ning Xiangwan smiled, "Are you going to leave now?"
"Hmm. ”
"Then I'll send you off. ”
The two walked out of the Tianquan Immortal Pond side by side-
Zhu Chenfeng and the monks of the alliance left the demon realm together, and the entire Heavenly Palace returned to peace.
It rained at night, Shi Dingfeng, Fang Shaoyun and others handed over the follow-up management of the demon world in the Heavenly Palace, Hong Ningxiang took advantage of this free time and went back to the room to open the brocade box.
Inside the brocade box was a brooch glowing with black crystal, shaped like an axe and the size of a fingernail, very delicate.
She poured spiritual power into it, and the axe immediately swelled to half an arm's length, and she picked up the axe in the void and slashed forward, and sure enough, it split the prohibition she had laid down.
Just - why an axe?
Hong Ningxiang put the brooch on his middle coat, thought about it, and felt a little weak, so he took it off, put it in a brocade box, and put it in the Qiankun bag.
Although he didn't want to live up to Zhu Chenfeng's kindness, if he really wore it on his chest, if Shi Dingfeng found out, I was afraid that the consequences would be unpredictable, so it would be better not to provoke him.
In the second half of the night, the rain gradually decreased, and the sound of the rain was like a lullaby.
Hong Ningxiang slept in a daze, feeling colder and colder the more he slept, and when he opened his eyes, the window was open.
She got up and went to close the window, and had just taken a few steps when suddenly, a white shadow came in through the window, like a meteor falling from the sky, fast and bright.
Hong Ningxiang was taken aback and wanted to cast the magic trick, but found that his hands and feet seemed to be tied, and he couldn't exert any strength at all.
The small room was illuminated by the night pearl, and there was white light floating around it, making the white shadow even more ethereal.
Was she dreaming?
She tried to keep her eyes open, and in the white light, she could see the white shadow little by little.
It was a man in red clothes and white hair, his robe was full of red sky, and the face under the white hair resembled glass, but it was a little more gorgeous and enchanting than glass, it was really stunning.
The man called softly, "Xiang'er." ”
The sound is familiar, but it feels like a world away.
Hong Ningxiang's brain exploded and fell back to the bed.
No.
Liu Qingming is not dead, why did he suddenly appear?
It must be a dream, it must be.
She gripped the tent tightly with both hands and asked with difficulty, "Are you ...... Who are you?"
"Why, you forgot about me so soon?"
The man's face became clearer and clearer, and the corners of his handsome mouth were tugging, and his smile was as familiar as before.
Hong Ningxiang clenched her fingers desperately, and her nails pierced into her skin, making her sober up a little.
She asked calmly, "Liu Qingming, are you ...... What are you doing when you come back?"
Liu Qingming stood one step away from her.
It's just a shadow, but it's like it's coming to life, and it's terrifyingly real.
"Fool, what are you so nervous about. Liu Qingming smiled movingly, "I heard that you are going to leave the demon world in two days, I will come to see you, okay? I'm afraid it won't be easy to see you in the future." ”
"Brother Ming, now the demon realm is the territory of the Dao Purity Sect, and after I leave, there will be a chance to come back. As long as you return to the Demon Realm, I will come to visit you. Hong Ningxiang breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the demon was still ghostly, and turned into a ghost and came back to see her, so that she thought he was alive, and she almost didn't break her guts. She realized that she was really afraid of this person. (To be continued.) )
