Chapter 22: About Wan'an
Elder Liu and Xu Linghua walked side by side in front of Wan Ning, but the two didn't seem to be on the right track, they didn't say a word, they just hurried forward with their heads bored, which made Wan Ning, who was standing at the end obediently, mutter.
The three of them walked for a long time with a stick of incense, and finally came to a large hall, Wan Ning could see through the gap in the building that there was a wide square opposite, many young disciples gathered to stand in line, and among the few people standing in the front was Zhao Wen, and according to Zhao Wen's introduction to the periphery of the Aoki Sect before, Wan Ning speculated that he was at the back door of the hall facing the square.
"It's here, let's go inside. ”
Elder Liu opened a narrow small door, pointed at Wan Ning, and motioned for him to enter, the young man raised his head and stared at Xu Linghua with eyes for help, but Xu Linghua didn't seem to want to say anything, and his expression was still indifferent. Wan Ning had no choice but to follow Elder Liu's instructions and walk towards the small door.
Before, Wan Ning looked at the darkness inside the door, originally thought that the internal structure was gloomy and terrifying, but he didn't expect to walk in, but he found that it was a quiet corridor inside, and there were landscape ink paintings hanging on the wall, which was a little elegant, Wan Ning sniffed his nose and smelled a refreshing incense, which made his somewhat restless heart soothe a lot.
Elder Liu closed the back door, led the newcomer Wanning, and walked around again, the three of them passed through a small courtyard with plenty of light, and finally stopped in a courtyard where small birds were singing softly.
"Senior Sister Xu, Senior Brother Wan, please, the old man won't enter the house. ”
Elder Liu smiled hoarsely, turned around slowly, and disappeared at the end of the corridor.
"Xu... Senior Sister Xu, where is this..."
Seeing that Elder Liu, who had a strong sense of oppression, finally left this place, Wan Ning dared to gasp and asked Xu Linghua beside him.
"You'll find out when you go in. ”
Xu Linghua didn't reveal anything, she walked in front of Wan Ning, opened the door, and walked straight in, Wan Ning sighed, and also muttered closely to Xu Linghua's pace.
"Mannings, you're here, sit. ”
"Senior, I didn't expect it to be you!"
Unexpectedly, what caught my eye was the sword predecessor who reunited after a long absence, that is, Xu Linghua's father. Wan Ning was a little surprised and a little excited, the supreme divine power of the middle-aged man at that time was still deeply engraved in Wan Ning's mind.
"Let me introduce myself first, I am the head of the Aoki Sect, Xu Rusong, this is my beloved daughter Xu Linghua. ”
Xu Rusong was very enthusiastic about Wanning, he personally gave Wanning a cup of tea and handed it to him.
"I didn't expect... You're the boss!"
Wan Ning reflexively stood up, holding the cup of hot tea in his hand, a little flattered, he guessed that with Xu Rusong's cultivation, he should be in a high position in the sect, but he didn't expect it to be the head of the sect. What surprised him even more was that this senior didn't have a shelf, and even poured tea for him himself.
"Wan boy, I heard that you are so talented that you actually burst the twelve-layer Heavenly Spirit Pillar?"
At this time, Wan Ning noticed that there was also a man in blue sitting on an equal footing with Xu Rusong, the man in blue was extremely tall, but he looked ugly, and there was even a scratch on his face, although it had healed, he could still see terrible marks.
He raised his head to look at the man in blue, but the moment he met the man's gaze, Wan Ning was horrified to find that everything seemed to be in his view, and he could see it clearly.
"It's still a little interesting, the concentration of spiritual power is extremely high, and the body is as strong as the body cultivation of the Ning Yuan Realm, but the dantian is covered by a strange white mist, I want to cut open your stomach to see what is strange inside. ”
"What are you talking to the juniors about, talk about things, don't scare others. Wan Ning, this is the great elder of the Aoki Sect, I don't know the name, I only know that the name is Mu, it's good if you call Elder Mu, don't take what he said just now to heart. ”
The man in blue smiled fiercely and raised his palm, but at this moment, Xu Rusong, who was sitting on the side, finally couldn't stand it, stopped it, and then turned his head to comfort Wan Ning.
"Elder Mu is just joking with me, he won't take it seriously. ”
Wan Ning silently wiped the black line from his forehead, and then smiled and said to the two.
"Ha, this junior is a bit interesting, not as boring as that wooden fish head, yes, it's Wan'an's little brute. ”
Elder Mu looked at Wan Ning and laughed, making a screeching sound of pulling the bellows, as if he had a thick phlegm in his throat.
"My brother is not a brute. ”
Unexpectedly, Wan Ning's attitude suddenly changed drastically, and he said coldly to Elder Mu.
"He's not a brute, he deceived our trust, and in the name of carrying out a mission, he absconded with the things of my Aoki Sect in fear of crime, and his whereabouts are unknown.
It seemed that like Wan Ning, he was also touched on the back of his neck, Elder Mu was still smiling one moment, and the next moment he grabbed Wan Ning's collar and said angrily.
"The road of spiritual cultivation is long, full of opportunities and dangers, you and I don't know if we can live until tomorrow, you are worried about the so-called treasures of the town gate that disappeared with Wan An, only we are thinking about Wan An day and night! I and Wan An were born as brothers, and we have lived together day and night for nearly ten years, do you understand his character! Or do we understand his character!"
Wan Ning withstood Elder Mu's suffocating spiritual pressure, his eyes widened, and he retorted with difficulty.
"You don't know the preciousness of that thing at all, no matter how evil Wan An's talent is, it can't compare to its value, and," Elder Mu let go of Wan Ning's collar and snorted coldly: "The so-called human nature, under a strong enough desire, can only be degraded. You're just a kid and don't know that this cruel world is completely different from the story your mother told. ”
"Wan Ning, this is just Elder Mu's speculation, we still believe that Wan An is not that kind of person, and after all these years of investigation, it has probably been determined that Wan An seems to be caught in a big conspiracy, and he is just an innocent person who has been linked. ”
Seeing that the situation continued to intensify, Xu Rusong finally stood up to play a round.
"As long as my brother is not alive, this matter will never be conclusive, I am going to report to the sect, what do you have to say directly. ”
Wan Ning was also in a bad mood at this time, he should have been taken to a strange place by himself, it must have something to do with his eldest brother Wan An, and he didn't expect the people of the sect to care more about Wan An.
However, Wan Ning never dreamed that his dearest and beloved eldest brother would be slandered as a deceitful and famous thief who saw money and absconded with treasure, he recalled Elder Liu's eyes before, and realized that Elder Mu's thinking was the main argument of the entire Aoki Sect, which made Wan Ning feel very sad.
"I actually wanted to go to the Makue Mansion a long time ago, slaughter all your families, search for souls, and find clues about Wan'an. ”
"You dare!"
Elder Mu said coldly, but at this moment, Wan Ning, who heard this, suddenly went berserk, he no longer wanted to endure Elder Mu's arrogant words, and he also left the so-called rules of life behind.
The spiritual power in Wan Ning's whole body completely exploded, and he mobilized all his physical strength, gathered into a punch, and smashed it towards Elder Mu fiercely.
"Presumptuous. ”
However, as the Great Elder of the Aoki Sect, Mu's current behavior in Wanning is tantamount to shaking the tree. Looking at the fist that was about to fall on his face, Elder Mu's expression did not change, but thousands of green branches suddenly pulled out from the soles of his feet, and with the spiritual power of a super powerhouse, they poked towards Wan An's heart at an incredible speed.
Among the countless branches, even the shortest and weakest one contained spiritual power was stronger than all the cultivation of the ten hundred wannings combined. Don't think about it, as long as a branch pierces Wanning's heart, there is only one way to die.
The incident happened suddenly, Xu Rusong didn't have time to stop it, just between the lightning and flint, Elder Mu finally withdrew his spiritual power, and the branch that lost the blessing of spiritual power just flew Wanning Fan on the wall with inertia.
"Why did you suddenly stop, this is not like your previous style of acting and speaking. ”
Wan Ning took a few deep breaths before he regained his breath, fortunately his physical fitness was quite good, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground and was delirious.
"I'm still waiting for you to bring back the things from the town gate, how can I let you die so easily. ”
Elder Mu sat back in his chair with a grim expression, and the branches that filled the room around him crept back into the black shadows beneath his feet.
"That's it, I don't need you to say it, I'll find a way to bring my brother back if I ask. ”
Wan Ning clutched his chest and staggered to his feet, but his eyes remained stubborn.
"Listen to what I said, I heard that your talent is not bad before, and I had plans to make you a puppet before, but under the strong persuasion of Master Xu, and the good talent you showed today, I reluctantly changed my mind. ”
Elder Mu looked Wan Ning up and down, craned his neck, and poured the fragrant tea into his dry mouth.
"You can only be a registered disciple of the outer sect of the Aoki Sect forever, the sect will not provide you with resources, provide you with a spirit stone, and will not provide you with a master who specializes in solving doubts and doubts, everything needs to be fought for by yourself. ”
Xu Linghua, who had been standing behind Wan Ning, suddenly said loudly.
"Then what's the difference between me and cultivating on my own in the Makue Mansion. ”
Wan Ning was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to make such a request.
"This is not my father's idea, my father's original intention was to overcome Elder Mu's proposal and personally accept you as an apprentice, but I don't think it's necessary. The current condition is the result of my negotiation with Elder Mu, because the real strong will not be bound by the external environment, and will go further in breaking through the obstacles, I believe you, so I make decisions on my own. ”
Xu Linghua's expression was still cold, and she replied unhurriedly.
She is a woman who fought out of the cruel Shura Dao, and her keen sense of smell trained by years of killing made her smell the breath of "strong" in Wanning's body, so this iceberg beauty, who is not interested in everything, paid so much attention to Wanning for the first time.
She was very curious about what kind of strength this teenager who even looked a little thin would burst out under such heavy pressure, and where he could go in the end. But no matter what the result is, he will definitely outperform those "mediocre" ordinary people.
Because Xu Linghua believes that they are the same kind.
