Chapter 120: The Wisdom of the Ancient Clan
Aru turned over, sat on the ground, looked at the smiling Xu Ning, and couldn't see what expression was on his face.
It wasn't until he confirmed that Xu Ning was safe and sound that he said aggrievedly: "You scared me to death!" ”
Xu Ning was puzzled and asked, "Why am I scared of you?" ”
"I thought you were stoned to death by me!" Aru seemed to have palpitations, touched his chest, and then laughed stupidly, "It's okay if you're okay, otherwise Sister Bing'er will definitely eat me alive." ”
Xu Ning: "......"
The third elder walked over from the frightened crowd, kicked hard at Alu, and scolded: "You bastard, you scared the old man, why don't you get out of here and guard the mountain gate!" ”
Aru then got up, clutching his buttocks, which had been kicked by the elder, and limped away amid the laughter of the crowd.
The elder picked up a broken bone from the ground, looked around Xu Ning's front and back again, and finally let out a sigh: "It's really that there are people outside the sky, and today the prince has not done his best to perform his divine skills, which is enough to make the old man worship." ”
Everyone also gathered around, staring at Xu Ning like a monster, not to mention that there was no damage, even the clothes were not necessarily torn at all, and they couldn't help but be surprised: "Son, is your body quenched with fine steel bones?"
Xu Ning just smiled, just now, at the moment when Aru was about to hit him, he secretly used the Mixed Yuan Vajra Protector. Even if Aru had a strong brute force, he couldn't hurt him in the slightest, Xu Ning's current body protection divine skill was about to be cultivated to the extreme realm of gold all over his body, and once he ran it, even his clothes were like steel armor.
The third elder coughed and said: "You all remember for me, in the future, you must pay attention to cultivating more internal strength, cultivation like Xu Gongzi is naturally achieved by people with abnormal talents, but even if you guys with mediocre qualifications, you will definitely make great progress if you continue to cultivate hard." ”
It turned out that Tong Guò constantly communicated with people from the Central Plains, and now many ancient people began to try to learn martial arts practice, but because of environmental restrictions and different traditions of martial arts, most of them still mainly practiced martial arts.
It wasn't until I saw it with my own eyes today that I was completely convinced, so I promised one after another.
Xu Ning said goodbye to everyone, and was about to turn back, when a blue figure had already walked over, it was Yan Bing.
"Bing'er, this Xu Gongzi is really amazing!" The third elder stroked a few strands of white beard and said with appreciation, "The old man didn't believe it last night, thinking that you two sisters were shallow in their knowledge, and they added fuel to the vinegar. ”
Everyone also agreed, and some people said jokingly: "If you want to say that the most powerful, it is our second young lady, this time not only brought back the flower seeds of the colorful fairy orchid, but also brought a peerless good man." ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole orchard burst into laughter.
Yan Bing didn't blush, accepted it all with confidence, grabbed Xu Ning's arm again, and walked towards the village outside with a smile.
The two walked out of the orchard, and it was also a patch of green grass, and the thatched huts and wooden houses were scattered among them, which were very neat and orderly.
Xu Ning said with concern: "Why don't you sleep for a while, see your eyes are getting redder and redder." ”
Yan Bing leaned on Xu Ning's arm and pouted: "Who asked you not to sleep with me, I ran away quietly alone, and I woke up in shock." ”
Xu Ning only felt that what she said was really inexplicable and unreasonable. In fact, he doesn't understand that when a woman falls in love with a man thoroughly, she will integrate into his life wholeheartedly, and willingly indulge herself in it, and she can feel the slightest change.
The two of them first went to the place where the Hongshan people were housed to visit, and they were relieved to see that those people had been properly settled. Then Yan Bing took Xu Ning across the first wooden bridge and came to the secret passage.
In the daytime, looking at this cliff that protects Zhupingzhai like a city wall, it will be much clearer than at night, and it is really unattainable and straight into the sky. It's just that Xu Ning felt that it would be difficult to prevent the powerful demons outside from sneaking in just by relying on this high wall, so he asked Yan Bing.
Yan Bing was about to explain to him, when he saw several middle-aged women walking to the edge of the cliff with a bamboo basket in their hands, and gently patted the stone wall with their hands. I could only hear the sound of "Kerala" overhead, and an iron cage fell from the cliff and descended at a very fast speed, without the slightest shaking when it landed. The women put the bamboo basket they had brought into the cage, and reached into the hole to play with it, and the iron cage was raised, and after a while it was gone.
Xu Ning just wanted to ask what was going on, but Yan Bing had already explained to him: "There is a hidden mechanism in that small stone cave that is used to control the lifting of the hanging basket, and the bamboo basket is filled with noon food. ”
Xu Ning listened to her and understood: "Are there all guarding warriors above?" ”
Yan Bing nodded and said, "That's right, and there are not only guardians on it, but also fierce birds and beasts trained by our Yan people." I think you have seen them in the orchard just now, but they are far inferior to you. But our ancient people were still able to survive after two extermination disasters, and naturally we have the ability to survive, such as beast spirit magic, which can train and control the most ferocious beasts and birds. ”
Xu Ning admired, thinking that even if he had such skills, it would be extremely difficult to climb and surpass this peak, if he was discovered by the guardians above, they could only be killed by the neck if they were relieved and had the help of fierce beasts, and the ancient clan in this forest really had their own unique place.
"There is also a magic circle around here, so as long as we don't go out, the demons and poisons outside won't be able to enter." Yan Bing said, holding Xu Ning and walking back.
Xu Ning suddenly said: "I want to rush back to Juling Peak before sunset, will you go with me?" ”
Yan Bing stopped, raised his face, and said, "What are you doing in such a hurry to go back, I will spend some time today carefully studying the map of the underground ancient city, and it will not be too late to go tomorrow." ”
"I'm worried that Senior Brother Chen will stay alone in the back mountain, in case he ......" Xu Ning's eyes flickered, and there was a faint worry in his heart.
Ever since he heard the old patriarch and the Emperor Venerable say last night that the terrible scepter of judgment might be hidden in the back mountain of Juling Peak, he had become inexplicably uneasy, and he always felt that if he had to explain this matter to Chen Jin, he had to warn him.
But this is just hearsay after all, and it is very difficult to really say it, let alone to Yan Bing.
"No." Yan Bing still disagreed, "Brother Chen's martial arts cultivation is not under you, and he has been alone in Juling Peak for so long, so you definitely don't have to worry about it, not to mention, the patriarch grandpa and my sister are helping us to prepare the potions, and it will be all prepared tomorrow." ”
"Elixir?" Xu Ning looked puzzled, "What kind of potion did Grandpa help us make?" ”
Yan Bing held him and said as he walked, "This time, you and I will go deep into the interior of the underground ancient city, and we must be fully prepared. The demons and evil things below are hidden in the meantime, so the patriarch helped us refine a lot of potion talismans that can deal with monsters, in case of emergency, and there are life-saving props to deal with in case of danger. ”
So that's the case, Xu Ning said solemnly: "You have to help me thank the old patriarch and your sister, if there is anything I need to do in the future, I will not hesitate to go to the soup." ”
Yan Bing laughed out loud: "They don't want you to go to the soup, you just need to be good to me." ”
Xu Ning looked around at no one, and secretly twisted it lightly on her little waist, causing Yan Bing's whole body to tremble like a water snake, looking at Xu Ning, his apricot eyes were hazy like spring water in a morning mist.
Xu Ning no longer paid attention to the unfounded worries, and his mood suddenly improved, but he felt that the breeze was blowing and he was full of energy.
The humid air around is wafting with the tempting fragrance of grass, and in the orchard on the field, the fragrance of the earth wafts from time to time Looking from here, the idyllic scenery of Zhupingzhai is really like a long scroll slowly displayed in front of the two of them.
Xu Ning and Yan Bing snuggled all the way and walked slowly, and slowly walked back. He is now slowly getting used to this kind of intimate expression, the human race in the forest still retains the purest and most unrestrained feelings, there is no stain in the first place, there is really no need to twist and hide.
At noon, Yan Bing deliberately cooked a few side dishes by herself, but she really lacked talent in this area and was reluctant to make it difficult, but fortunately, Xu Ning was never picky, and the fruit wine was as mellow.
For a whole afternoon, Xu Ning accompanied her to study the complicated and difficult drawings of the ancient city, and unconsciously when the sunset came and the twilight of the embers came. Yan Qing came over and invited the two of them over for dinner.
In the stone hall of the old patriarch, the three elders couldn't help but mention to everyone the incredible terrifying martial arts that Xu Ning displayed in the orchard today, and everyone except Yan Bing was stunned.
Yan Qing was a little more amazed and appreciative of the dignified and heroic young man in front of her, Xu Ning's shadow was like a small pebble, and from time to time it would splash ripples in her heart.
Her heart will be inexplicably stunned, wondering why it was not her who stole the colorful fairy orchid this time, but her sister Yan Bing.
Then when this thought appeared, she sullenly blamed herself: "How can I have such thoughts, never, she is my brother-in-law." ”
After dinner, the old patriarch asked Yan Qing to take out the potions and talismans that he had prepared during the day and handed them to Yan Bing.
"This bottle of blue liquid medicine is called 'Rejuvenation Dew', which can be drunk when the demonic qi invades the body, and can restore the soul essence." The old man explained to the two of them tremblingly, "The other bottle is a red liquid medicine, this red 'poison repellent water' is used to smear wounds when suffering from trauma, and it has an immediate detoxification effect." ”
When the old man was about to continue to explain the use of these talismans, he suddenly gave up, pointed at Yan Bing and said with a smile: "This girl is already disgusted with the old man's verbosity, anyway, she understands everything, so I won't say more." ”
Xu Ning turned his head to look, and sure enough, Yan Bing was already impatient with his small mouth.
He looked at the old patriarch's two eyes that were obviously blind in confusion, and was greatly surprised, sure enough, the patriarch knew Yan Bing's personality very well. He inadvertently saw Yan Qingzheng, who was sitting next to the old patriarch, looking at him with very strange eyes, and he didn't know what it meant, so he had to smile in return.
But Yan Qing turned her face away for no reason, and a gorgeous red cloud quietly flew onto her cheeks.
