The roar of spirit beasts from the top of the mountain became more and more intense, and the beasts outside the cave were even more so, although they were still prostrate on the ground, Jiang Ning could feel the anger coming from their eyes, as long as they went out, they would be dismantled, and their bones would be scattered.

Jiang Ning leaned on the entrance of the cave, holding the broken sword in his right hand, and holding Xiao Hei lying in his arms in his left hand, holding his breath and staring intently at the every move of the demons outside the cave.

"......Shh

In the cool moonlight, the shadows of the trees swayed, accompanied by a slight sound of landing, and a sharp shout: "Who is it, come out." ”

Seeing the visitor, Jiang Ning was overjoyed, his tense expression suddenly relaxed, and he ran out of the cave with the little black fart in his arms: "Big brother, it's me." ”

The person who came was nine feet tall and looked like a jade tree in the wind, and in this cold night, facing the demons who were eyeing him, Jiang Ning felt like a spring breeze.

Thirteen-year-old Jiang Ning stood beside him, a whole head shorter.

This person's surname is Jiang Minghuanyu, the grandson of the Human Emperor, the son of Jiang Fuzi, the best of the second generation of disciples of the Lishan Heavenly Dao Sect, known as the most talented person of the human race in the past thousand years, and the only person in the human race who has the possibility of tracing the footsteps of the human emperor.

Of course, he also watched Jiang Ning grow up, Jiang Ning was demoted to Baicao Garden in the past three years, and he took care of the latter openly and secretly, Mo Fan's care for three years came from him, he was Mo Fan's master.

After seeing Jiang Ning clearly, Jiang Huanyu's face was full of surprise: "Why are you? Why are you here?"

Jiang Ning smiled bitterly, briefly explained how he unexpectedly appeared here, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he concealed the scene that happened in the cave.

Finally, he asked, "Big brother, I heard Mo Fan say that you have been in retreat recently, why did you come out so quickly?"

Jiang Huanyu said: "The world bell rings, the saints will meet." The theft of Wanyao Mountain even shocked the saints, not to mention me, I just noticed that Mingzun had returned, so I rushed over, and I found that there was something wrong here before I went up the mountain, but I didn't expect it to be you kid. Let's go, it's not safe here, I'll take you down the mountain first, by the way, I heard my mother say that when the thieves broke into the Ten Thousand Medicine Mountain, you were the only one in the Baicao Garden, were you injured?" While speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at the spirit beasts around him, although the spirit beasts were unwilling, they were not stupid, and they felt that Jiang Huanyu was not easy to mess with, so they shrank their necks one by one to make a way.

Jiang Ning shook his head and said weakly: "I'm fine, I happened to rain Lingtian at noon, and I ran over to see if there was movement in Wanyao Mountain, and before I got close to the mountain, it was dark in front of me, and I fainted, and I didn't know anything else." Big brother, do you know what the thieves stole from?"

"I don't know, it's definitely not ordinary, if it's a simple elixir, it won't ring the world bell, open the saint's pilgrimage, you listen to the movement above, if it's a simple elixir, can it cause Mingzun to be angry?"

Jiang Huanyu raised his hand and put it on Jiang Ning's shoulder, and the two walked side by side. He said with relief: "But these have nothing to do with you, by the way, you kid doesn't have any cultivation, you dare to kiss Ten Thousand Medicine Mountain, this heart is very good! Heaven is unfair..."

The breeze is blowing, Jiang Ning's eyes are a little moist, the master doesn't recognize himself now, it's just that he has no interest to disappoint his old man, but the master and his wife are as kind to him as a mountain, and they have regarded them as their own since they were children, and Jiang Huanyu and Jiang Yan brothers and sisters regard themselves as their own brothers. Jiang Huanyu has said more than once that he grew up in the same mother's arms with him, and he is his own brother. From the surname Jiang, that is the grandson of the emperor.

Jiang Huanyu also knew that mortal identity was Jiang Ning's heart knot, and immediately changed the topic: "There is one more thing, recently Mo Fan's kid is also going to prepare for the Hell Festival, if you have anything, you can come to me at any time." ”

The word Hell Festival has been introduced to Jiang Ning's ears more than once, and all the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect have been busy with the matter of the Hell Festival recently, which is the triennial festival of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Jiang Ning lowered his head and hesitated for a long time, and said an idea that had sprung up in his heart not long ago: "Big brother, can I participate in the Hell Festival?"

Jiang Huanyu suddenly stopped, looked surprised, and said: "You! Although I heard Mo Fan say that you have practiced Lishan swordsmanship diligently in the past three years, no matter how advanced your swordsmanship is, without the support of spiritual power, you are also a paper tiger in front of the enemy! ”

Jiang Ning interrupted the former, raised his head, and said stubbornly: "Big brother, I would rather be a sandbag for others than hide in the Baicao Garden as a waste for the rest of my life, I want to go back to Longling Pavilion and go back to three years ago." ”

Jiang Huanyu stared at this younger brother who was a head shorter than himself, in the past three years, the latter has really grown up a lot, and the immaturity of the past has receded, I don't know how much hardship I have endured in exchange for this perseverance and perseverance.

Raising his hand and rubbing the latter's head, he said with relief: "The little spoon of the year has grown up, but I prefer you now, but the Hell Festival is not a child's play, although there are great opportunities during the period, but these are for those who are talented and powerful, and the Hell Festival is for the weak, that is hell, I understand your courage and persistence, but I don't want you to be hurt in any way." Besides, those inheritances and whatnots are of little use to you, what you want, the eldest brother will find it for you. ”

Although the night breeze is cold, Jiang Ning's heart is like a spring breeze; Jiang Huanyu's concern makes him burst into tears, the eldest brother is still the former eldest brother, this brotherhood is deeper than the four seas, heavier than Lishan.

But now I am no longer a child, I must insist on my own persistence, find my own path, and I can't always stand behind my eldest brother as a younger brother, but at least I have to be my master's apprentice, and I can stand up and fight side by side with my eldest brother when he needs it.

The self who came out of Longling Pavilion could not disappear and was buried in obscurity in the Baicao Garden.

Looking up at Jiang Huanyu, Jiang Ning said resolutely: "Big brother, I know all this, but I still want to try, the story of the moth fighting the fire was told to me by you, although I don't understand why they do it, and even feel stupid, but I believe they must have a reason to do it, what do you say?"

Jiang Huanyu sighed lightly and said, "When the world bell rings, the saints will meet." From this day onwards, there will be no more clouds, and the land will be devastated from this day onwards. Although I can keep you safe for a while, I can't stay by your side all the time and protect you. It's not a bad thing to participate in the Hell Festival, see the world, and grow your skills. ”

"The Hell Festival is a triennial assessment of the sect's disciples, and everyone, without exception, has to participate. You are Mo Fan's apprentice, the fourth generation disciple of the True Heavenly Dao Sect, since you want to participate, just go to Mo Fan tomorrow. ”

"Thank you, big brother. Jiang Ning hugged the former excitedly and said excitedly.

Jiang Huanyu touched the latter's head, and told the latter a lot of things about the Hell Festival, all of which were some experiences on how to protect themselves from harm.

Jiang Ning took the trouble to listen to Jiang Huanyu's nagging, keeping all the details in mind, the two of them talked as they walked all the way, and it took half an hour to walk down from Wanyao Mountain, and the spirit beasts were all eyeing each other along the way, but with Jiang Huanyu by his side, they didn't dare to make a mistake at all, and obediently gave way one by one.

Regarding the matter of participating in the Hell Festival, Jiang Huanyu repeatedly told him not to take risks, let Jiang Ning think about it, and think clearly about it and report to Mo Fan tomorrow.

Jiang Huanyu still had to do it, so he left after explaining.

At this moment, the movement on the top of the Ten Thousand Medicine Mountain has not been eliminated, and Mingzun's anger has not yet been extinguished, but now that Kanazawa has returned, there is nothing to do here, and he immediately left the Baicao Garden and returned to the riverside Xiaozhu.

After making noise for so long in the middle of the night, it was about to dawn, thinking about the hell festival, Jiang Ning was even more excited, and he was completely sleepy for a while, and settled Xiao Hei, who had not yet woken up, sat on the edge of the bed, hugged the Tai Chi Jue, ran the Linzi Jue, and began to practice.

Jiang Ning, who has already had the experience of absorbing the aura of heaven and earth for the first time, is very handy at this moment, and the aura of heaven and earth is constantly ingested into the body, under the control of the word formula, after running for a week, it turns into pure spiritual power, and then reluctantly scattered between the viscera, just like sprinkling a scoop of water on the desert, disappearing in an instant, turning into nothing, without causing any changes.

However, this feeling is very wonderful, although the spiritual power moisturizes things silently, there is no obvious change, but Jiang Ning is sure that as long as he persists, one day, Daozang will bring hope to himself, just like Daozang said: 'The four elephants are combined and the heavens and the earth move', it is a big deal for me to practice for a year.

He could only pray now that Daozang was a technique that was different from any of the exercises in the Nine Domains, it was suitable for mortals, it was suitable for himself, and it was a technique tailored for himself.

Throw away all the distracting thoughts in your heart, devote yourself to cultivation, guide the spiritual energy into the body, and feel the pleasure brought by the spiritual power rushing in the body.

The sky is easy to thank, and it is difficult to leave an inch.

Since he decided to participate in the Hell Festival, he had to go all out, and all this was too precious for Jiang Ning, who had only just drawn his qi into his body today.
