Yan Qing's words have come to this point, and everyone in the room has gradually heard some clues.

What she meant was that the demon master was hunted down by the martial arts cultivators of the Central Plains, and he was severely injured, and he heard that there was a mysterious magic weapon in the underground ancient city of the Savage Land that could help him recast his body, so he trekked to Tianchi. As for how this sorcerer entered the underground ancient city, it is impossible to say, it may have obtained another map, or it may have broken in by mistake.

When Xu Ning heard her say this, her heart suddenly brightened, and she secretly said in her heart that she was really Yan Bing's sister, and she generally had great wisdom.

So he said lightly: "In this way, it is really not difficult to find the 'Soul Searching Furnace', as long as I break inside, I will deliberately lead the demon to appear and kill him with one stone." ”

The other people's faces changed greatly when they heard his bold words, and Yan Bing also froze on the side, his face gloomy. Of course, she knew that Xu Ning's martial arts were superb, and the black chain on her body that could be absorbed into her body was also an extremely powerful and domineering Horcrux, but all kinds of terrifying legends about the underground ancient city were too terrifying.

The old patriarch sat on the high chair for a long time before bowing his head slightly: "You have a powerful spirit on your body, which is very rare." It's just that this sorcerer has been hiding underground for some years, and he must have been carefully managed in it, and it is difficult to say that you can succeed if you take risks alone, so I think it is better to think long-term. ”

"We are willing to go with this Xu Gongzi." The three gray-haired old men all stood up, their expressions solemn and fearless.

Xu Ning hurriedly thanked him, but said again: "The three seniors are old, how can I bear to let you do such a dangerous thing." ”

The three of them moved, quite angry: "Isn't Xu Gongzi thinking that I am useless when I am old?" That's too much to underestimate our three brothers, the name of the three elders of Yanshan is not earned for nothing. ”

Xu Ning didn't know what the name of the "Three Elders of Yanshan" was, but just looking at the spirit exuded by these three old men, he must have a certain degree of martial arts attainment. It's just that this thing is too dangerous, if something happens to you, you will admit it, and if you hurt others and lose your life, you will feel guilty in this life. But looking at the resolute appearance of these three old men, it is really difficult to refuse, what can I do?

Xu Ning couldn't think of anything to say, so he was stunned again.

Fortunately, Yan Bing came out to appease the three old men, and said with a smile: "If the three elders leave the Ancestral Peak, then what if there are any demon beasts and evil things that come here to make trouble, what will the clansmen in Zhuping Village do?" ”

When the three elders heard this, they stopped insisting and sat back.

"In my opinion, let me go with Brother Xu Ning." After she said this, she didn't look at Xu Ning's face, walked in front of the old patriarch, and began to study the map, which was full of some ancient characters that are usually difficult to see, but she had been studied in this area since she was a child, although it was quite laborious to read, she could understand it somewhat.

Yan Qing was sad in her heart, but she understood her sister's character, and she had no way to make her change her mind, so she had to go.

"No way!" Xu Ning said resolutely, "You almost died when you met those ghosts the day before yesterday, this time I will never let you go with me again, not to mention that your skills are not enough to help me, I have to be distracted to protect you......"

Yan Bing didn't raise his head, and with a snort, he interrupted his words: "On the broken bridge, I helped you kill several blood monkeys." ”

"That'...... That's also because I'm going to take care of you...... only to be attacked by monkeys. Xu Ning was a little anxious, but what he said was indeed true, if he didn't take care of Yan Bing, it would naturally not take much effort to deal with a few monkeys.

"Then tell me, if I don't show you the way, how can you get inside?" Yan Bing continued to convince him while still looking at the map, "It turns out that there are so many mechanisms here, and many of the secret passages of the mechanisms need to be unsealed by spells. ”

Xu Ning sat down stupidly, he had a headache at a glance at this map, he was a gifted martial arts cultivator, but if he studied this kind of thing, it would be better to kill himself.

Even Chen Jin couldn't understand these ancient words, Xu Ning had also walked underground for a while, and he didn't remember any route at all, and sure enough, only a thoughtful and intelligent person like Yan Bing could understand the map.

However, he couldn't bear to let her follow him into the underground ancient city that would kill people at any time, he really didn't have the courage to do this.

He sat there alone in a daze, his eyebrows tightly locked, his face like frost, and everyone didn't dare to say more. Yan Qing was happy and lost while seeing him so anxious. She was happy because her sister had indeed found a good man who could protect her and take care of her, but this handsome young man was not a person who belonged to this forest, and she vaguely felt that he would leave here sooner or later.

I don't know when, Yan Bing has already walked back, holding Xu Ning's hand and comforting: "Don't worry, I used to steal the flower seeds of the colorful fairy orchid alone, if there is really any accident, it is also my fate, I have received various martial arts training since I was a child, and at that time I have already made up my mind not to back down in the face of any difficulties." ”

Xu Ning looked at her eyes, and for the first time felt that they were so profound.

"There is nothing to be afraid of or not to be afraid of, in this wild world where everything is sinister, everything I do is only divided into worthwhile and unworthy." After Yan Bing said this, he gently drew a certain pattern on his palm with his fingers.

The old patriarch also said: "Child, you just let her go with you, I have no objection." It's just that you must remember that after helping your master recast his body, he will do everything he can to destroy this great thing......"

Xu Ning saw that the old man wanted to say goodbye, so he said: "The old man has something to explain to the younger generation, but it is okay to say that the younger generation should remember it." ”

The old man sighed, and tried his best to open his blind eyes, as if he wanted to see a place in a dream, as if he were recalling a distant past.

He said slowly, "I heard from them that you are a tower protector who lives in the Gathering Spirit Peak. But you don't seem to know that this 'soul searching furnace' has a lot to do with the big ravine under the Demon Suppression Mountain. ”

Xu Ning chuckled in his heart when he heard this, and said loudly: "The younger generation really doesn't know, I've only been here for a few days. ”

The old man continued: "In ancient times, there was an earth-shattering battle between gods and demons on the Soul Continent, and the demon king was destroyed by the gods, and his soul disappeared. I don't know how many years have passed, when the gods fled to other worlds, the demon clan gradually prospered and raged again, and used demon methods to forge this 'soul search furnace' that can help the demon king reforge his body, hoping to awaken the demon king and destroy the continent that is now controlled by humans. Of course, this is all a cliché story, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"However, the Demon Suppression Tower in the Demon Wind Mountain Range is indeed what I have seen with my own eyes!" Xu Ning said.

"Well, something has to be true. For example, the soul of the demon king is now suppressed under the demon suppression tower, and for example, the 'soul seeker'. The old man thought for a moment to put the pieces together, "According to the records of the ancient books, the demon king was resurrected once during this period, and the human race in the wilderness has entered the darkest age since then, and the situation is still miserable to this day. The demonic events that occurred here also alarmed the four human kings in Zhongzhou, they teamed up to defeat the demon king again, and burned his body on the Juling Peak Mountain, but still could not destroy its soul, this immortal soul fled back to the Demon Wind Mountain Range, and the four human kings found out, so they established a magic circle to imprison it. ”

Xu Ning had heard Chen Jin say these stories told by the old man, and there was not much difference between them. Until the old patriarch said this sentence:

"The Demon King and the Demon Soldier are on you!"

After Xu Ning heard the old man's words, his whole body bounced up from the chair as if he had been struck by lightning, and his heart was in turmoil: "How can the old patriarch see that the Eighteen Demon Slaying Locks are fused into my body?" Even if his eyes weren't blind, he would never have seen me do it, huh? ”

There is a reason why Xu Ning is so shocked, although this demon slaying lock on his body, although it is said to be a great evil, but it only devours demons and increases the power of the Horcrux, and it will not disturb human nature.

Yan Bing didn't know why he was so nervous, but it was only when he heard that the matter was related to his Fengyun Hall that he panicked. So he hurriedly appeased Xu Ning.

"The Demon King has a scepter that can drive the power of thunder and lightning, and it is said to be in the ...... of Juling Peak Mountain," the old patriarch finally said.

Only then did Xu Ning understand that what he was talking about was not the demon slaying lock in his body, and he was a little relieved. However, he had never heard Chen Jin say that there was still a demon king's scepter secretly hidden on the Gathering Spirit Peak.

Xu Ning sat down and asked, "Although I am on the Gathering Spirit Peak, I have never heard anyone mention this scepter that can drive thunder and lightning, could it be that someone made it up to spread the rumors?" ”

The old man shook his head and replied with great certainty: "How dare you talk nonsense about this kind of thing, in short, whether you have seen this scepter or not, you must not approach it?" ”

Xu Ning was puzzled: "Why is this?" ”

"This scepter is cursed by the Demon King, and if anyone approaches it, their minds will be slowly eroded, and finally become a thing that is neither human nor ghost, and will bear the curse and be driven by the Demon King's soul for the rest of their lives?" The old man warned Xu Ning again and again, as if the scepter was really placed next to Xu Ning.

Xu Ning also assured him that he would never touch that fierce thing in his life, but when he heard the old patriarch say this, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart, and as for why he had such a strange feeling, he was not clear all of a sudden.

At this time, the sound of morning chickens crowing could be faintly heard outside, and before I knew it, I chatted here for an evening.

So they said goodbye to each other, and the three elders went back to their own homes. Xu Ning and Yan Bing also said goodbye to the old patriarch, and waited for Yan Qing to help the old man go in to rest before sitting on the night leopard and returning to Yan Bing's attic.

Yan Bing lit the oil lamp and continued to study the parchment drawings of the underground ancient city that he had taken from the old patriarch.

Xu Ning couldn't help but be curious when she saw her full of interest and radiant appearance, and asked, "It's been quite difficult to walk all the way during the day, why don't you look sleepy at all now?" ”

Yan Bing just looked at him and smiled, and could see that her dark black pupils were full of infinite tenderness and sweetness.

Because, tomorrow she can stay with Xu Ning again.
