Chapter 146: Negotiations
"Hahahaha......"
Ning Xiang looked up to the sky and smiled, as if he had heard a big joke, so much so that he couldn't stop laughing.
Ximen Chunqiu's expression was faint, and the wide white clothes were windless and automatic, and they quickly attached themselves to him again, not moving at all. He smiled too, his eyes a little strange.
It was the first time since he had successfully married a monk in front of him that he had no respect. Thinking about Ning Xiangzhi's previous sights, he respectfully performed the disciple salute, lest there be a trace of neglect. Looking at Ning Xiangzhi's arrogant and smug face in front of him, Ximen Chunqiu felt very interesting.
"Ning Shouzao, have you laughed enough?" Ximen Chunqiu waited for a while, and when he saw that he didn't mean to stop, he asked softly like a spring breeze and rain.
Ning Xiangzhi's laughter finally stopped, and he asked curiously: "Ximen Pavilion Master, were you talking to Ning about the conditions just now?" ”
"Yes, what's wrong? What's so ridiculous? Ximen Chunqiu smiled lightly.
"Haha, haha......" Ning Xiangzhi couldn't help but laugh twice: "Of course it's not proper, it's quite ridiculous, who has ever heard the Ximen Pavilion Master talk to others about the conditions?" At first glance, shouldn't Ning laugh? ”
Ximen Chunqiu's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "When I first learned the Tao in Ximen Chunqiu, it can be said that I have gone through hardships, not to mention talking about conditions with people, when necessary, I even knelt down and begged for things. Since you Ning Xiangzhi caught your shortcomings today, why not talk to you about the conditions? Besides, isn't Ning = Shouza just waiting for me to negotiate the conditions? ”
Ning Xiangzhi snorted lightly: "Yes, Ximen Pavilion Master, you guessed right." Ning just wants to see if you dare to start a civil war between the righteous path, and whether you dare to provoke a battle of monks between Linhai Prefecture and the Qing Netherworld Continent. Do you dare to bear the consequences of the demon invasion? It seems that Ning Mou's gamble is good, even if the Ximen Pavilion Lord is about to break through the late Yuan Infant Period, even if the Tingchao Pavilion is domineering, he still doesn't dare to provoke a war between the Linhai Prefecture Cultivation Realm and the Qingyin Continent Cultivation Realm. ”
"Ximen Chunqiu cultivates the Tao, not the devil, why provoke the monks to fight among themselves, and let the southern Xinjiang demon clan sit on the profits of the fisherman? Ning Shouza, as I explained earlier, this qiē is all a misunderstanding. Others don't know, don't you understand? The Silver Red Sword Order is not my Golden Sword Order. The highest authority of the Silver Red Sword Order is only to arrest. No killing. You and Gusu Daoyou are both Jindan monks, but you hurt my apprentice for no reason, he can't stop the two of you, and he issued a silver and red sword order to summon fellow sects to help intercept it. There's nothing wrong with that......"
Ning Xiangzhi interrupted: "Is it wrong that I and Gusu Daoyou?" What a clever Ximen Pavilion master. What a domineering listening tide pavilion. Case. Why don't the Lord of Ximen Pavilion kill me with one palm, anyway, Gusu Daoyou is dead, and if you kill me, you may be able to hide it from the Qingying Cultivation True Realm. Lang Lang Qiankun. Ning also wants to see if you can cover the sky with one hand! ”
Ximen Chunqiu paused slightly, and said angrily: "I have said before, this matter is indeed my fault for listening to Chaoge. In any case, the Silver Red Sword Order came from the hands of my disciples, and the death of Gusu Daoyou was indeed because of the Silver Red Sword Order. I'm just clarifying that there is a misunderstanding or even a conspiracy in this, the Lei brothers, the old crow monster and Mo Mei dared to kill the members of the Qingshen Law Enforcement Hall without authorization, doesn't Ning Shouza think it's strange in this matter? I'm afraid that someone behind me will take advantage of this matter to make a big fuss and deliberately provoke a war between the Qingying and Linhai cultivation realms, and want to trap me from listening to the Chaoge Pavilion for infamy through the ages. Ning Shouza, are you willing to be used by others? Become a knife and gun in the hands of others? ”
Ning Xiangzhi lowered his head and muttered for a while, and said abruptly: "You listened to the Chao Pavilion acting domineeringly, ordering the Linhai Cultivation Realm, and those who did not accept it shouted and shouted to kill, so that there is today's matter." But what does that have to do with me? Do you want me to help you set things right? Ximen Pavilion Master, are you really no one in my Qingying Cultivation Realm? ”
"That's not necessary, Ning Shouzao must also know that I didn't come here today to discuss right and wrong with you. In any case, things have already happened, and you and I, as the heads of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Qing Netherworld Continent and the Linhai Prefecture Cultivation Realm, must not watch the civil war between the monks of the two states, so that the Southern Xinjiang Demon Clan will invade again. ”
Ning Xiangzhi snorted lightly and did not object out loud.
Ximen Chunqiu's heart was slightly settled, and he said: "What are the conditions for Ning Shouzao, you might as well say it first, but if I can do it in Ximen Chunqiu, I will never shirk it, how about it?" ”
Ning Xiangzhi shook his head and sighed: "Ximen Pavilion Master, everything else is easy to say, have you forgotten someone?" What's the point of a discussion between you and me if that person is not resolved? ”
Ximen Chunqiu's eyes flashed slightly, and he said in surprise: "Who actually makes Ning Shouza so important?" ”
Ning Xiangzhi looked a little hesitant, and when Ximen Chunqiu saw this, he casually arranged a soundproof enchantment.
"Ximen Pavilion Master, do you still remember the Qianyuan Zi of the Qianji Sect?" Ning Xiang's straightforward words are not shocking, and he is endless.
For the first time, Ximen Chunqiu's face changed drastically, and he said in horror: "Qianyuanzi? Isn't this man dead? If it weren't for the fact that he was dead, how could you go to the Tang Palace to become the head of the Thirteen Sects of the Green Underworld, and how could you Ning Shouza be able to take charge of the Sword Order of the Blue Immortal Law Enforcement Hall? ”
"Impossible, impossible!" Ximen Chunqiu emphasized vigorously: "At the beginning, I saw him die with the Demon King, and the dead can't die anymore, and it is impossible to still live." Ning Shouza, what do you mean when you mention Qianyuanzi? ”
Ning Xiang pulled the corners of his mouth, laughed dryly, and said, "Is he really dead?" Yes, everyone in the world thinks that Qianyuanzi died with the Demon King more than two hundred years ago, and there is no master in the world. However, according to my secret investigation in the soup palace, the reason is probably not so simple. ”
"How?"
"More than fifty years ago, during the invasion of demon beasts, all the sects of the Qing Ming were besieged by various demon clans and fell into a bitter battle, and the giant elephant clan and the flying eagle clan joined forces to attack the Qianji Sect. The three elders of the Qianji Sect were killed in battle, most of the elders of Jindan were killed and wounded, and the low-level disciples suffered heavy casualties, but ...... I don't know why, after the Giant Elephant Clan and the Flying Eagle Clan attacked the forbidden land in the back mountain of the Qianji Sect, they suddenly disappeared silently, and there was not even a single demon beast that escaped.
"And this?" Ximen Chunqiu's face was pale, and his expression was stern.
"Not bad." Ning Xiangzhi said in a low tone: "At that time, I led a group of monks to assist the Qianji Sect, and when I entered the Qianji Sect, I saw the corpses of demon beasts and disciples of the Qianji Sect everywhere. When I led people into the forbidden land of the Qianji Sect, I found that there was nothing. It's as if nothing happened. Tens of thousands of demon beasts, many of them are demon generals and demon kings, all of them have disappeared. There was no blood, no corpse, and no trace of the battle, and it disappeared without a trace. However......"
Ning Xiangzhi's voice trembled, and he waited for a while before saying, "I can feel a trace of strange vitality fluctuations in the air, which is different from the formation and similar to the formation. ”
He raised his head and stared at Ximen Chunqiu: "Ximen Pavilion Master." What do you think is the cause of this fluctuation of vitality? ”
Ximen Chunqiu's face was very ugly. Hesitantly: "Circle? ”
"Haha, among the Three Realms, within the Four Seas, how many monks are still in the magic circle? Whose magic circle can be so powerful that it can silently destroy tens of thousands of powerful demon beasts? Ning Xiangzhi sneered: "Except for Qian Yuanzi." Who else could there be? He died three times. And when did you really die? ”
Ximen Chunqiu was silent. Thinking of the thirteen Watergate Arrow Towers not far away, and thinking of the rumors that Qian Yuanzi had been immortal for thousands of years, he sneered after a while: "Could it be that you want me to help you kill Qian Yuanzi?" ”
"Not bad." Ning Xiang smiled and said, "Ximen Pavilion Master." Qianyuanzi is not dead, do you think I can sit firmly in the position of the first seat of the Qingying Law Enforcement Hall? If he doesn't die, the position of the head of the thirteen sects of the Upper Tang Palace will be like walking on thin ice. If he doesn't die, I won't be able to sleep. ”
Without waiting for Ximen Chunqiu to speak, he said again: "What's more, what is the identity of the dead Gusu Daoist, you don't know at all, right?" ”
Ximen Chunqiu thought for a while, and his eyes lit up: "I remember, when Qianyuanzi's body was broken for the third time, the Yuan Shen took away a Jindan monk from the Qianji Sect, and that Jindan monk was the elder brother of Gusu Daoren. ”
Ning Xiangzhi sneered: "At the beginning, that Jindan monk volunteered to let Qianyuanzi take the house, and his only requirement was to take care of his only relative, that is, Gusu Daoren. It is precisely because of this that the Gusu Daoist people in the Qianji Sect want to be windy and rainy, and even the head of the family obeys him. From this aspect, it can also be proved that Qianyuanzi did not die in the duel with the Demon King more than two hundred years ago, otherwise, the people of Gusu Dao would never have the scenery they have today. ”
Ximen Chunqiu let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "It seems that the cost of resolving this misunderstanding is far beyond my imagination. So......" he smiled and looked at a willow leaf floating in front of him, "Let's start with the first step." ”
The willow leaf trembled, silently turning into two halves, half to the east and half to the west, trembling and flying away.
Say what you say!
Ning Xiangzhi's pupils shrank slightly, and seeing the two halves of the willow leaves swaying but disappearing like lightning, he sincerely admired: "The master of Ximen Pavilion dares to act boldly, Ning admires." ”
"Okay, but what about the second step?" Ximen Chunqiu seemed to have done something insignificant, flicked his sleeves, and asked proudly.
"The second thing, help me catch that girl, she wants to live." Ning Xiangzhi said slowly.
"Girl? Is it the little girl in the foundation building period that you and Gusu don't hesitate to put down the shelf to hunt down? Ximen Chunqiu's face was strange, and his voice was surprised.
"Yes, that's her. This girl's cultivation is not high, but her inexplicable ability is very strange, and she has escaped the pursuit of me and Gusu several times. Originally, it was foolproof to catch her this time, but because you listened to Chaoge, she let her escape into the chaotic plain. She has the Purple Night Thunder Sword Qi on her body, which is a must-have thing for my Qingying Law Enforcement Hall, so I must arrest her back. ”
Ning Xiangzhi naturally wouldn't tell Ximen Chunqiu that he had caught An Yun because of the exquisite splendid platform, so he pushed a qiē onto the Zixiao Thunder Sword Qi. Purple Night Thunder Sword Qi That is an ancient treasure, and the ancient powerful monk Qinglan Fairy became famous for his sword qi, which can be described as famous.
If it was because of Zixiao Thunder Sword Qi, it would also explain why he and the Gusu Dao people wanted to personally arrest An Yun at any cost.
Sure enough, Ximen Chunqiu suddenly realized: "It turns out that she has the Zixiao Thunder Sword Qi on her body, no wonder you and Gusu have to personally hunt down a foundation building monk at the expense of surrendering their identities." It's no wonder that you are reluctant to explain the reason to Duanmu Yuanshan, for fear that I will listen to Chaoge and win the treasure halfway. Ning Xiangzhi, you are too petty, although the Zixiao Thunder Sword Qi is extremely precious, I heard that Chaoge will not provoke a war between the monks of the two states because of the Zixiao Thunder Sword Qi. No wonder you have been unable to break through the Jindan and enter the Yuanying Realm for a long time, your mood is not grand enough, how dare you watch the heavens? ”
Ning Xiangzhi snorted softly, pretending to acquiesce to his words. But I was thinking in my heart: If you, Ximen Chunqiu, knew that girl not only had Zixiao Thunder Sword Qi in her hand, but the exquisite splendid platform, I am afraid that she would not only dare to start a war between the monks of the two states, even if you are enemies of the world, you will probably not frown.
In fact, Ning Xiangzhi didn't want Ximen Chunqiu to get involved at all, but when things came to this point, he had no choice. In the past, he dared to kill Gusu Daoren because he could push it on the head of Liuyun Zhenren. Now that Liuyun Zhenren was killed by the Linhai monks, this matter has become a big problem, and he would rather not be able to shoulder this responsibility, so he naturally wants to find Ximen Chunqiu to resist.
Moreover, An Yun had already run away, this girl was extremely cunning, and he was not sure that he would be able to catch her. The longer An Yun is out of control, the greater the risk of Linglong Jinxiu Terrace being exposed.
……
Mo Mei sat cross-legged on the riverside, with her eyes closed and facing the water, her fingers tapping on her knees, and she didn't seem to be in a quiet mood. Ximen Chunqiu finally made a move, but he didn't know what he would do with himself.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and turned his head to look east, his eyes frightened and horrified.
A willow leaf came from the sky, swaying and looking extremely slow, but in Mo Mei's eyes, the willow leaf was growing rapidly. Willow Leaf swayed, but blocked all his dodge routes and shot at the center of his brow.
Before Mo Mei could react, Liu Ye was already only a finger away from his eyebrows. The leaves are as light as nothing, but they seem to weigh more than a thousand catties, because this willow leaf contains the laws of Ximen Spring and Autumn...... Cut it in two.
A jade-like clean and flawless palm stretched out from the void, and the slender and straight index and middle fingers gently grabbed the willow leaf, and after a moment, the palm and willow leaf disappeared in front of Mo Mei's eyes.
Mo Mei took a long breath, and her heart, which had stopped beating, regained its vitality and fluttered as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
This scene happened at the same time in the Black Crow Gorge, thousands of miles away. The old crow monster was like a plum, a layer of cold sweat oozed from his body, and he collapsed to the ground weakly. The ten thousand spirit crows in the canyon seemed to be under an inexplicable huge threat and scattered in all directions.
"Huh?"
Ximen's black hair fluttered out in the spring and autumn, and it was rendered like ink.
"Qinghua, it turned out to be you! Sure enough, it's you! He chuckled softly and looked down to himself.
In the Xuantian Sect, upstairs in Wan Xie, Qinghua Zhenren was holding two residual leaves in his hands, and he looked at them carefully in front of him, as if he was observing two peerless treasures.
The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and his eyes seemed to be smiling: "It's me, what can you do?" (To be continued......) I1292
