405. Stunned
Yue Xuan, Liu Lao, and Yue Li sat in Xianyuan Restaurant for a whole day, and it was not until the next evening when Ye Ning handed over the shift that the three of them left Xianyuan Restaurant, and from beginning to end, they did not communicate with anyone, but ordered a lot of wine and food.
Ye Ning didn't know what his psychology was, he never stood up this time, if Yue Xuan didn't appear, maybe he would be very anxious, and even take a risk and try his luck in person to pick up the star tower, but Yue Xuan really appeared, and when he brought with him a quasi-immortal who was in the Tribulation Period and maybe even the Mahayana Period, Ye Ning hesitated.
In other words, if Yue Xuan just took Yue Li, or added Chen Shu or even Uncle Qing, Ye Ning would not be too careful, just because there was one more Liu Lao, Ye Ning inexplicably gave birth to a trace of vigilance in his heart, although he didn't know how the vigilance in his heart came from, but it would not be wrong to be a little more cautious at this time.
When he returned to his residence, Ye Ning first habitually observed it, and as expected, the wisp of divine consciousness left on his body still did not disappear, nor did he have the slightest intention of weakening, he naturally did not dare to reveal his true ability, he still activated the array protection, and then meditated and practiced penance at home.
Ye Ning's approach is no different from the vast majority of immortal cultivators who come to Juxian City to break through, while finding odd jobs to earn spirit stones, while cultivating hard, after all, the immortal cultivation resources here in Juxian City are not comparable to other places, even if it is just meditating and cultivating in Juxian City, it is many times stronger than the secular world that consumes spirit stones to cultivate every day.
He had spent most of his time in the Star Picking Tower for more than half a year, although most of the time was spent in retreat and alchemy, but the life of an ordinary immortal cultivator in the Gathering Immortal City. Ye Ning still knows a little bit, the two maids who left it for him. Occasionally, he would tell Ye Ning about the customs and customs in Juxian City.
This time he meditated and cultivated, Ye Ning deliberately stayed for an extra day. When he went to Xianyuan Restaurant, he was stunned to find that Yue Xuan and Liu Lao were still sitting in the top box of Xianyuan Restaurant, but this time there was another young fairy with a graceful demeanor, and Ye Ning's eyesight couldn't see the depth of the other party.
This kind of thing, Ye Ning is generally not reluctant, since he didn't detect the depth of the other party at the first glance, then. I'm afraid that this person is at least a cultivator above the middle stage of the Tribulation, or he is cultivating a more peculiar immortal method, such as the situation like Yue Xuan.
If you have to probe the roots of the other party, you may attract the attention of others, and if you don't do well, you will expose yourself.
Therefore, at such times, he is very cautious and cautious, even if it is only the period of tribulation, it is not something that he can shake now. It's better to stay away obediently, and don't make trouble for yourself.
The more Xuan is around, the more powerful the people around him are, and the more vigilant Ye Ning is. I don't dare to show my face anymore, and even when I deliver wine and food, I have to intentionally or unintentionally avoid the Yue Xuan box, and I don't say hello. will never take the initiative to enter, let alone open his mouth. Minimize the chance of exposure.
He didn't know why Yue Xuan was so persistent in his own affairs. With his alchemy, although it is rare, it has not yet reached the point where it is worth such a large amount of money to pick up stars, and there must be something in it that has been ignored by himself.
Finally, when the shift was handed over again, the old Longzhong's bookkeeper said very unexpectedly when he put a few spirit stones in Ye Ning's hands: "Xiao Huang, wait a while, the proprietor has something to ask you." ”
Ye Ning used the name of Huang Ye, and Mr. Bookkeeper naturally wanted to call him "Little Huang".
This is the first time Ye Ning has heard this old bookkeeper of Longzhong speak after coming to Xianyuan Restaurant, and he was slightly stunned for a moment before saying, "The proprietor? Don't know what to ask? ”
The old bookkeeper said "um" and said, "How can the old man know what the owner asks?" ”
After that, he ignored Ye Ning, and didn't say where the proprietor was, and let Ye Ning stand at the door of the account room in a daze.
Although he has been in Xianyuan Restaurant for a while, but the proprietor or something, Ye Ning really heard of it for the first time, naturally he didn't know what the old account room was talking about, but since he found out that he was being monitored, he vaguely guessed that this Xianyuan Restaurant probably really let Liu Lao and them guess, it is not an ordinary small place at all, otherwise it would not be a few random people chatting, and it would be listened to so coincidentally.
Especially when Su Ying, Wei Xuanyu and the others appeared, except that they spoke Chinese, there was almost nothing abnormal.
After waiting for more than half an hour or so, the old account room seemed to be busy with the business in hand, came out of the account room tremblingly, and said to Ye Ning while turning around and walking towards the backyard of the restaurant: "What are you still doing stupidly?" Come with the old man! ”
With a wry smile, Ye Ning followed the old account room, passed through the hall, and came directly to the backyard of the Xianyuan Restaurant, when passing through a section of the courtyard wall, the old account room didn't seem to see the courtyard wall at all, and hit his head in the middle of the courtyard wall, and before Ye Ning could react, the figure of the old account room disappeared inexplicably, and what was presented in front of Ye Ning was still a real courtyard wall, red bricks and blue tiles, and there was no difference in the slightest.
Ye Ning naturally quickly came back to his senses, this should be a trick to cover his eyes, but the trick can be arranged to this level, it is really not something that ordinary people can do, he didn't walk through directly like the old account room, but walked to the front, carefully reached out to touch it, and then he was slightly stunned, and the feeling of his palm clearly told him that this courtyard wall was real, and it was not an illusion at all.
Subconsciously, Ye Ning used his divine sense to probe, and to his surprise, there was no obstacle here at all, it was a real courtyard wall, so what happened to the old account room that had just disappeared?
Standing in front of the courtyard wall and muttering for a while, Ye Ning took a few steps back and returned to the position where he had stood before, before he could try again, he saw that the courtyard wall in front of him suddenly squirmed like smoke, and then completely dissipated, and in front of him it changed into a path made of blue bricks, with flowers and trees on both sides, and he was actually standing in the middle of the garden, not far in front, the old account room was slowly leading the way.
Ye Ning's face changed slightly, although he knew that he had encountered a very clever illusion array, but such a realistic illusion array, it was the first time he had encountered it, even in the Tenglong Diagram Secret Realm, that mysterious temple, he had never encountered such an unfathomable illusion.
After a little hesitation in his heart, Ye Ning still followed slowly, he naturally didn't think that his momentary experience would be an illusion, and he understood that he had met a formation master who he had only seen in his life, although he didn't necessarily have a higher level of knowledge than himself, but he couldn't get this level of illusion for the time being.
The rest of the road did not appear in the incomprehensible illusion, after seven turns and eight turns, the old bookkeeper led Ye Ning to a pavilion, and then left slowly, just let Ye Ning wait for the owner's inquiry in the pavilion.
Ye Ning sat in the pavilion inexplicably, but the scenery around him was constantly changing, for a while it was an endless sea of flowers, for a while it was an endless mountain, and for a while it turned into an endless ocean, only the Huating where he existed remained the same, without any change.
The formation of this situation, Ye Ning has only felt it in the secret realm of the Tenglong Diagram, in that temple, every step will give birth to such a strange feeling, you don't think that what you see is an illusion, as long as you dare to try, it will definitely surprise you, what you see is what you experienced, and it is all a real scene, there will be no fraud, the mountains can fall to death, and the sea can also drown you.
With a long breath, Ye Ning sat in the pavilion, not daring to make the slightest move, but he was not affected by the changing environment around him from time to time.
After sitting for more than two hours, when the surrounding scenery turned into a sea of flowers again, a middle-aged man in a purple robe slowly floated from afar, as if he suddenly appeared in the Hua Pavilion, and seemed to walk slowly from a distance, that feeling was very wonderful.
The purple-robed middle-aged man had a leisurely demeanor, and there was an indescribable smell of dust all over his body, especially the faint trace of purple in his eyes, which not only did not make people feel weird, but also made Ye Ning feel a gentle and close feeling, as if the two were born very familiar, but Ye Ning was sure that he had never seen this purple-robed middle-aged man at all.
The moment he saw the purple-robed man, Ye Ning unexpectedly flashed a title in his heart: "Purple-robed Divine Monarch!" ”
I have heard of the purple-robed people in the mouths of Wei Xuanyu and Yue Xuan, especially Liu Lao, who calls the purple-robed people the purple-robed godsman, and also vaguely alludes that the purple-robed people are actually important people in the Purple Lotus Secret Realm.
Ye Ning's understanding of the Purple Lotus Secret Realm was limited to knowing that it was one of the six holy places, and it was also one of the two most mysterious holy places, as for more situations, he didn't know at all, on the contrary, because of Chen Ying's relationship, he knew a little more about the Inviting Moon Palace.
The purple-robed man sat down on the bamboo chair opposite Ye Ning, looked at Ye Ning with gentle eyes, nodded slightly after a long time, and then brewed a cup of tea by himself, and then said with a water cup: "You came out of the land of divine punishment?" ”
Ye Ning was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect the purple-robed man to ask so directly, if it weren't for the fact that he had heard Wei Xuanyu and Liu Lao, Yue Xuan and others talk about the miracle of the purple-robed Divine Monarch before, he would definitely deny it without hesitation at this time, not to mention, at the moment when the purple-robed man appeared, the wisp of divine consciousness that had always been wrapped around him finally disappeared, this was almost an obvious thing, and it was the purple-robed middle-aged man in front of him who secretly observed him during this time.
After just a slight sigh, Ye Ning replied: "I am indeed not a Ziyuan Star, and it has not been long since I entered the Immortal Cultivation Realm, but the place of divine punishment that the seniors said, please forgive the juniors for being lonely and unheard, I don't know what it is." ”
The purple-robed man smiled slightly and said, "The place of divine punishment is the place where you came out." ”
Ye Ning opened his mouth, and when he was about to say something, he was suddenly stunned, he didn't suddenly wake up until this time, the purple-robed man had a few simple conversations with him, and both of them actually spoke very fluent Chinese. (To be continued......)
