"Yours. Shi Dingfeng stretched out his hand to brush away a bit of incense ash that fell on the empty tablet, and gave an answer that surprised her.

Hong Ningxiang opened his mouth and stammered, a little unbelievable.

She asked in a trembling voice, "Why did you set up my tablet?"

Shi Dingfeng's gaze deepened a little, "Ten years ago, you said that you didn't want to resurrect your true body, so I removed your true body from the Ice Palace, brought it back to the Heavenly Extreme Cultivation Realm, and buried it next to your brother's grave. This tablet is to pay tribute to the dead Xiang'er. But your spirit is still there, so I only set up an empty monument. ”

Hong Ningxiang exhaled lightly, and suddenly felt that his approach was also wise.

People live to look forward, can not always indulge in the past can not extricate themselves, since the past she has died, simply bury the past, the future to live a new self.

I heard Shi Dingfeng mention that his brother's former friend Shui Qianfan died of illness more than 100 years ago. Shui Qianfan's hometown is in Yanshui Town, not far from Red Maple Valley, so Hong Ningxiang went to the ancestral hall of the Shui family to worship.

When leaving, Shi Dingfeng suddenly took out a copper Ruyi lock, only to see that the lock was only half a piece, and there was a faint golden light shining inside, Hong Ningxiang saw that the lock was a little familiar, and couldn't help asking, "Ninth Master, isn't this my Ruyi lock?

She remembered that when she really died in the Demon Realm, she was still wearing this Ruyi lock close to her.

"After you really fell, I collected the valuables on your body. Shi Dingfeng lifted the lock and looked at it over and over again. His brows furrowed, "Xiang'er, what's going on with this lock? It's always beating in my sleeve, and it's still shining with gold. ”

"This wishful lock is my family's ancestral magic weapon, divided into two pieces, left and right. It is not only a protective treasure, but also can be used for communication. Back then, when my brother and I were separated, he gave me half of it and the other half to Shui Qianfan. When my brother entrusted me to Brother Shui. Let me and Brother Shui wear half of it alone. He said that if the other person is in any danger, he can recite the mantra. Sense where the other person is, and rush to the rescue. This wishful lock has a reaction, and eighty percent of it is that something happened to its other half. ”

Hong Ningxiang took the ruyi lock and recited a mantra. I haven't read it in years. It's a bit rusty. After reciting it three times in a row, the Ruyi lock party responded. Only a soft whistling was heard, and the golden light on the Ruyi lock burned like a flame.

Through the brilliant golden light, Hong Ningxiang's divine sense tracked in.

One scene after another was revealed, first a stone tablet with the words "Golden Medicine Spring" written on it, next to the stone tablet were three wells, a magic circle was set up next to the well, and at the end of the courtyard where the well was located was a dimly lit firewood house. There was an unkempt man cowering in the corner. It seems that life and death are unknown.

After a while, Hong Ningxiang opened his eyes and said, "Ninth Master." It was the owner of the other half of the lock that had an accident, as if someone had locked it up. ”

Shui Qianfan has passed away a long time ago, and the half of the lock he wore should have been passed on to his descendants. Let's go over and have a look. ”

Although Shi Dingfeng was not impressed by Shui Qianfan, he also knew that if it wasn't for Shui Qianfan who sent Xiang'er all the way to Shixin Island, recommended him to his mansion as a maid, and found a place for Xiang'er to live, he was afraid that Xiang'er would be killed by the people of Tieyemen before entering the mansion. Counting up, he also owes Shui Qianfan a favor.

The neighboring town of Yanshui is a place called Yaoquan Town, which is named after the "Golden Medicine Spring". Golden medicine spring is a special spiritual liquid extracted from well water, which can be used to ripen medicinal materials, which is a precious local specialty of cultivating immortals. But all rare spiritual fluids have always been a good thing that monks flock to, and the locals can also use the Golden Medicine Spring to make huge profits, but after hundreds of years, the Golden Medicine Spring is gradually drying up, and it is monopolized by the Yun Family, the largest immortal cultivator in the town.

In other words, the three medicinal spring wells indicated by Ruyi Lock must be in the Yun family's compound.

Hong Ningxiang and Shi Dingfeng discussed countermeasures, she was responsible for saving people, and he was responsible for negotiating with the head of the Yun family.

Judging from the rumors in the town, there is a gentleman named Yun Yi in the Yun family, relying on the fact that the head of the family is a monk in the Yudan period and has rich financial resources, he is rampant and domineering in the local area, and often does some things that bully men and women. Since this family has a bad reputation and occupies the Golden Medicine Spring, Hong Ningxiang felt that there was no need to tell the people of this family any etiquette, so he did not enter through the main entrance, but used the Divine Hidden Charm and jumped directly over the wall into the courtyard where the three medicinal springs were located.

A ban was set up at the door of the firewood room, unguarded, Hong Ningxiang manipulated the Tianji Sword to break the ban a few times, opened a chaos shield on his body, and rushed in.

The sunlight outside the door shone in, and the man cowering in the corner raised his hand to cover his eyes, and when he saw someone intruding, the man immediately retreated into the darkness.

"Don't come! Come again, I'm ...... You're welcome!" the man clutched the half-piece of Ruyi lock and shouted with a wary expression. The voice was soft, it was a girl.

Hong Ningxiang saw clearly that the person in front of her was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, with no cultivation, her green clothes were stained with blood, and her face was dirty, but the dirt did not hide her beauty at all. Fortunately, the Ruyi lock has a protective effect and can resist spell attacks, and the little girl was not too seriously injured, but only fell through her knees and forehead.

"Don't be afraid, girl. Hong Ningxiang walked up to her and softened her voice as much as possible to soothe, "I'm here to save you." ”

"Save me?" the little girl looked at her in astonishment, and the woman in front of her looked very young, and as beautiful as a fairy, and even so, she did not dare to believe her words, "Who are you? ”

"Girl, you see, I also have a Ruyi lock, which is a pair with yours. Hong Ningxiang took his half of the Ruyi lock to her eyes and shook it, "Don't believe it, try it, they can be combined." ”

The little girl looked at the lock in her hand in disbelief, and then at herself, still looking at her hostilely, "How can you have this lock?"

"This Ruyi lock is my family's ancestral treasure, the half of the lock in your hand is still passed down from my house, the story is long, let's talk about it later. Hong Ningxiang took out a roll of gauze and a bottle of medicine for external injuries, and pointed to her forehead, "If your face is not treated, it will be scarred." The girl's face has a scar, so be careful not to get married. ”

The little girl has no background, no cultivation, and she has no big ambitions, so she is counting on finding a powerful husband to be a backer in the future, if her face is ruined, what capital will she have to find a good backer? Thinking of this, she no longer resisted, sat still obediently, and let Hong Ningxiang give her medicine.

Hong Ningxiang asked while tending to his wounds, "What's your name, and why are you locked up here?"

"My name is Shui Ling'er. The little girl lowered her guard and complained, "Sister Fairy, I was caught by that big bad guy Yunyi. ”

Listening to Shui Ling'er's story, her family lives in Yanshui Town, and she is the granddaughter of Shui Qianfan's descendants, and she has an older brother above. Shui Qianfan's branch is a side branch of the Shui family, and she has no status in the family, her father is a local farmer, and her mother has died. Shui Ling'er's elder brother is a waste wood with four spiritual roots, and he is a miscellaneous disciple in a third-rate sect, and he will send some food and clothing to help the family on weekdays.

Shui Ling'er worked odd jobs as a medicine boy in one of the family's pharmacies, and the Ruyi lock was left for her to defend herself before her mother died. A few days ago, she and another medicine boy came to Yaoquan Town to buy a golden medicine spring. Unexpectedly, when she met Yun Yi, the little son of the Yun family, Yun Yi saw that she was beautiful and teased her, but she was injured by the Ruyi lock on her body, and the family arrested her, and Yun Yi tried to take away her Ruyi lock. After being rejected by her, Yun Yi simply locked her in the firewood room and forced her to hand over the Ruyi lock.

"This bastard dares to play the idea of wishful locks, and he is impatient. Hong Ningxiang snorted, grabbed Shui Ling'er's hand and said, "Ling'er, you leave here with me first." (To be continued.) )
