Chapter Forty-Eight: A Leisurely Residence

Seeing the stone gate in front of him, Jian Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief, took a breath and looked down at Simple, he looked fine, but the beads of sweat on his forehead showed that he was not easy. Ahri was lying in his arms, gasping for air, looking tired enough.

Qin Mo dropped a sentence and strode forward to grope for a look at the stone gate. Although this kind of journey is not stressful for Jian Ning, she doesn't want to move now. She took out the spiritual spring water from the space and gave it to Jian and Ahri to drink a few sips, and she also drank a few sips, and her whole body was instantly refreshed. Jian Ning glanced at Qin Mo not far away, his expression was a little struggling, and finally he gritted his teeth, diluted the spiritual spring water and put it in a kettle and handed it to Simple, motioning for him to send it to Qin Mo and Qinglong.

Qin Mo took the kettle that was simply handed over, and looked at Jian Ning in surprise, Jian Ning coughed in disguise, and turned around to study the surrounding environment. She seemed to see a hint of joy in his eyes, it should be an illusion, right? She just saw that he had done so much today, and was a little embarrassed to be favored by others.

Over there, Qinglong took the kettle and looked at Jian Ning gratefully, he knew that what Jian Ning took out at this time was definitely not an ordinary thing. I opened it and took a sip, and my spirit was shocked, what is this? How could it be as if it still contained spiritual energy, and after taking a few big sips, he felt that the spiritual energy he had just consumed had been completely replenished. He had guessed in the matter of Ten Thousand Snake Island that Jian Ning might not be simple, mysterious and powerful, and sure enough, if this kind of spiritual water was put on the outside market, it would be snatched up and emptied, and it would cause a large number of monks to scramble.

Qin Mo took a sip of the diluted spiritual spring water, and his heart was shocked, he knew that Jian Ning's family was rich, but he didn't expect that there would be such a treasure. He took another sip and tasted it carefully, and found that it should have been diluted, and he didn't know what the original sample was, but it had such an amazing effect. But Jian Ning actually took out this thing for herself to drink, does it mean that she already trusts herself a little? His lips hooked up happily, yes, it was a good sign.

Qin Mo and Qinglong very consciously put the unfinished kettle directly into their storage bag, Jian Ning looked at the qi knot, shameless, and didn't ask the master's house.

Suddenly hearing a soft sound, Jian Ning turned his head to look, it turned out to be Qin Mo in the lower right corner of the stone door, reaching out and taking out a stone. Opened? Qinglong stepped forward to help, pulling out the loose stones next to him piece by piece. What soon caught everyone's eyes was a hole big enough for an adult to get into, and seeing this, how could Jian Ning feel like laughing. But after thinking about it, she was going to get into it from here later, she twitched the corner of her mouth, and she still didn't want to imagine that picture.

Next, Qinglong was the first to get in, then Jian Ning was simple, and Qin Mo was the last to go in. When I went in, I found that they were now standing in a small room that seemed to be a miscellaneous place, could it be the legendary firewood room?

After everyone stood still and made sure that there was no danger outside, they walked out of this small room, but it was bright outside. After staying in the dim environment for a long time, Jian Ning squinted her eyes a little uncomfortably when she was suddenly illuminated by this light. After a while of getting used to it, she opened her eyes and was instantly shocked by the scene in front of her.

What's going on? How could she feel like she was on the top of the mountain, because the scenery in front of her was exactly the same as what she saw on the top of the mountain, could it be that they walked around and went directly to the open space at the top of the mountain? They're out again?

She quickly turned her head to look around, not at the top of the mountain, but in a courtyard-like place. It's a bit similar to my grandfather's cave house under Ten Thousand Snake Island, except that it's more like a place where a woman lives. In front of them there was a small flat ground, and there was a round stone table, and there were only two stone benches next to the table, and there was a tea set on the table. There is a hammock next to it, just facing the entrance of the courtyard, and the scenery is outside, saying that it is the door, but in fact, the whole side is empty. But there should be some kind of barrier, otherwise how could you not feel a trace of wind blowing here.

Jian Ning walked over and saw that the stone house in the middle of the courtyard was engraved with three big characters of leisurely residence, and the font was elegant, and there was a feeling of contentment. There was no hall, there was only one stone house in the center, and there were two stone rooms to the right of the stone house, and to the left of the stone house was where they had just entered. There was only one stone chamber there, and there was a tree of unknown variety growing next to the stone chamber. Those trees looked particularly eerie, with no leaves, no flowers, no fruits, just bare trunks and branches.

And there is no trace of leaves under the tree, maybe it has dissipated after a long time? Suddenly, Jian Ning's pupils shrank, and there was ......

Qin Mo had already walked over, and near the stone chamber of those trees, there were corpses leaning against the stone wall. Jian Ning stepped forward to check, it was supposed to be the bones of a male adult, and the clothes on his body were in tatters hanging on the bones. Jian Ning frowned, this man should have been extremely unwilling before he died, although only bones remained, but the expression on his face was hideous and unwilling, and the anger was displayed without omission.

Suddenly, Jian Ning saw something in the hand of the corpse bone, and reminded Qin Mo to look at it, Qin Mo was stunned when he saw it, squatted down and carefully took out the token-like thing from the corpse bone's hand. Wipe the dust off it, revealing its true face, is a transparent jade token with a word written on it.

Sheet? Could it be the son of the Zhang family who fled to Xunyang Mountain back then? Jian Ning looked at Qin Mo, it couldn't be so coincidental, how did he get in? According to the information, the disciple of the Zhang family was chased and killed by the enemy at that time, and he was already seriously injured, so he would not be able to know the existence of the valley by chance, and he could also know how to enter the valley and come up here from that passage. Is there any other way to get here?

They searched the body carefully next to the bones, and there was nothing else, it may have been swallowed up by the long river of time, even the clothes on his body dissipated at the touch of it.

There were no other clues, Jian Ning touched the jade card in his hand, looked at it repeatedly, and couldn't see anything special. They packed up the bones and waited for them to go out, and found a place in Xunyang Mountain for him to bury in peace.

Next, they rummaged through the stone rooms, but they didn't expect that this leisurely master seemed to be living a leisurely life, and his net worth was so rich that it was against the sky, which could definitely be compared to the family background of some cultivation families. Even Qin Mo was shocked by these things, because there were so many of them, and those books alone were already extremely precious. There are also some spiritual treasures and so on, and there were originally medicinal pills, but because too much time has passed, they have been damaged and cannot be used.

Qin Mo and Jian Ning divided those books, and the most important books in the books were formation books and some miscellaneous notes and books on alchemy, which were also mixed with some Dan Fang, as well as a lot of books on exercises. Qin Mo helped Qinglong pick out some exercises that were suitable for him, as well as spiritual weapons. Qin Mo mainly took some formation books, Jian Ning took those miscellaneous notes and books on alchemy, as for the exercises, she only picked a few. The rest was pushed to Qin Mo, she was enough to have these, and the rest were of little use to her, those spiritual weapons were not high-level, and she was not short of these, Qin Mo also knew that she was not lacking, so he accepted it without much excuse.

Jian Ning sighed, this senior should be a person who cherishes books very much, those books are well preserved by special methods, although so many years have passed, but there is no trace of damage.
