Chapter 467: Halfway Kill
Five days later, a carriage staggered from the entrance of the village on the road, Lin Ning sat in front, holding a volume of scriptures, it was boring to see, lack of interest, since he attained the Tao and ascended to immortals, he had not read the books written by mortals for a long time, which recorded, many anecdotes of immortals, legends of ghosts and gods, etc., but most of them had no reliable evidence, and turned over several books, probably nothing more than that.
Lin Ning lost interest immediately and threw the book aside, but Ah Li, who was next to him, became curious, picked up the book beside him, and recited aloud: "In ancient times, the four poles were wasted, and Kyushu was divided; The sky is not covered, and the earth is not circumferential. The fire is indiscriminate and not extinguished, the water is vast and the ocean is endless, the beasts eat the people, and the birds grab the old and weak, so Nuwa chooses the five-colored stone to make up for the sky, and the broken ao is enough to stand the four poles, and kill the black dragon to help Jizhou......"
After reading for a long time, she suddenly frowned and asked, "Sir, is there really such a powerful immortal as Nuwa in this world?" ”
Lin Ning smiled faintly: "Maybe there is, maybe not, if you believe it, if you don't believe it, you don't believe it, everything is just in my heart, and even if there is a thing of Nuwa refining stones to make up for the sky, in your humble opinion, how can we find a fact?" ”
When Ah Li heard what he said, his interest became even stronger, and he muttered to himself: "If there is really Nuwa, I really don't know how high the cultivation can be to mend the sky." ”
She was envious of herself, but she amused Lin Ning, the two were talking, but a young student in the car lifted the curtain, poked out his head and said: "I just heard the two of you study, Mr. seems to know a lot about ancient myths and strange conversations, the road is boring, why don't you come and relieve your boredom with us?" ”
Lin Ning couldn't laugh or cry a little, he looked at the two of them, and saw that Ah Li was also looking forward to it, when he sighed, he sighed and said: "Okay, although I can't talk about much academic questioning, but I can still remember some of the books I knew and remembered many years ago, if you want to listen, I will tell you." However, this son, who was carrying me on the same road as me, did he also enter Beijing? ”
Xiao Sheng nodded and said: "Yes, this is going to Chang'an, the road is far away, I wanted to rent a horse to rush there, but when I got to this place, it was not enough, if I didn't meet the two, I really didn't know what to do."
He changed his words and said: "By the way, I forgot to introduce myself when I got in the car, under Chen Ansheng, thank you for the grace of the two of you, and when you arrive in Chang'an, you will definitely let me entertain you, don't be polite." ”
Originally, Lin Ning was reluctant to let superfluous people accompany him, although mortals did not pose much threat to him, but the risk could be one point smaller, but this Chen Ansheng's identity was not ordinary, just now judging from the customs where he came out, he was actually a person from the imperial prince's mansion.
Regarding these institutions, Lin Ning is relatively well understood, after all, he was the son and son of the Nine Sages King of the Great Jin Dynasty back then, and he was also a royal family according to his affiliation.
Looking at his polite style and lack of force, you can guess that most of them are the gentlemen who taught the prince Wang Sun to read and write, which is the so-called "Taishi".
According to Lin Ning's inquiry, Chang'an has strict jurisdiction, and everyone inside and outside the customs is as follows the law, and ordinary people have to be investigated clearly when they enter the city, not to mention Lin Ning, who pretends to enter the city.
Just in case, pulling an important minister of the court on the way can be regarded as a certain guarantee.
The three of them chatted idly in the car for a while, and when they came back to their senses, the car had arrived on a remote mountain road.
Chen Ansheng glanced at it, his expression suddenly became a little nervous, and said, "Sir, why did you choose this way to enter Beijing?" ”
"Huh?" Lin Ning frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Is there something wrong?" ”
"I think that the two are not from the Yan Kingdom, no one in this area knows, but it is a place where bandits and reckless men gather, even if it is an official soldier, they don't dare to go on the road easily, while there is no danger yet, I will turn around early and take a detour to the south."
Lin Ning didn't think so, "Bandit reckless? Awesome? Chen Ansheng saw the desolation around him, and his heart was even more afraid, so he patted his head and said: "Of course it's amazing, Mr. doesn't know, this road is the way to return the soul, in the early years, the imperial court ordered to encircle and suppress the nearby mountain bandits, but because of one thing, the troops did not move." ”
"Why?" Ah Li was also puzzled, blinking his big eyes, but showing a trace of panic, but when he thought of Lin Ning here, he also settled down a little.
Lin Ning was also wondering, could it be that there were monks nearby? He secretly swept through with his divine sense, a radius of dozens of miles, and any bit of wind and grass was in his control.
But in an instant, he took his divine sense back, and only said to Chen Ansheng, "Later, no matter what happens outside, you just have to stay in the car." ”
Chen Ansheng just wanted to persuade a few more words, but Ah Li next to him said impatiently: "Okay, if you still want to live, just do what Mr. said." ”
Hearing this, he took a hard breath and retreated into the car.
Lin Ning casually put on a soundproof ban and said to Ah Li: "It's unfortunate, there is a monster on the nearby mountain, but it seems that the cultivation is not too high. ”
"Senior, that monster has noticed our whereabouts?" Ah Li was a little nervous.
"We swagger under the noses of others, it's strange not to be exposed, but if we take a detour to the south, I don't know how much time it will take, this battle is unavoidable, and you will protect the mortals in the car later, I have my own means."
Ah Li narrowed his eyes and looked at it a few times, and suddenly said, "Senior, I seem to think there are people in those places?" ”
"It's just some ordinary people, and they can't become the climate, mainly because they are afraid that the monster will detect the breath of our monks, but I hope it is not the eyeliner deliberately set by the Demon Sect."
Lin Ning drove the carriage past a cliff pass, but the grass beside the road shook suddenly, and in a blink of an eye, more than a dozen thieves armed with steel knives and axes jumped out, completely surrounding the carriage.
"Coming, coming, it's these thieves who kill people without blinking......" Chen Ansheng's frightened cry came from inside the car, Lin Ning was a little impatient when he heard it, and slapped the cloth curtain with a spell, and an invisible spiritual power completely protected it.
"Those who come keep their wealth and let them live!" A strong man led by him shouted twice, full of momentum. At this time, he saw a handsome young man slowly walking on the carriage, Lin Ning put his hands in his sleeve pockets, looked around for a week, showed a harmless smiling face, arched his hand to everyone, and said: "Heroes and heroes, I am a scholar who entered Beijing to take the exam, and please be merciful, Xiaosheng is not a child of a rich family, and the money he can leave is only some entanglement, and the hero laughs." ”
With that, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his wide cuffs, "A little meaning, not a respect." ”
Everyone was taken aback, there were hundreds of silver tickets, and they gave them without blinking an eye? I didn't expect this kid to be amazing, but he was a rich master.
Just as Lin Ning was still entangled with the mountain bandits, his consciousness moved, and he sensed an extremely violent aura coming from the woods not far away.
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided, and that thing's spiritual sense is too good." Lin Ning frowned slightly, and an invisible killing intent was revealed.
