Chapter 21: Revisiting Old Dreams
The starry river turns around the body, like a hanging curtain, and the flat boat under the feet walks alone, in a single shadow.
For some reason, Jiang Ning returned to that dream, the memory was very clear, and the picture was very clear.
He remembered very clearly that he was knocked over the ground again and again by Ji Guan's gun, and stood up strong again and again. If he had the chance to see Ji Guan again, he just wanted to say: 'It's really inferior, I won't give my master a pleasure if I find a death.' ’
Jiang Ning didn't have any resentment against Ji Guangang, the latter was able to get up more than 20 times, proving that he had given himself more than 20 opportunities and attached great importance to his peers, but it could also be seen that he didn't have a good impression of himself, and he was really not light.
He clearly remembers everything that happened in the past three years, the powerlessness, loneliness, neglect, and forgetfulness.
Of course, the clearest memory is the last time I was killed by the man in black, and the picture I saw in my dream, the boundless stars, the vast starry sky.
Because this dream appeared in front of me again.
Looking down at his feet, he was sure once again that it was the quaint and unpretentious little spoon who had grown up with him since he was a child.
What is the connection between the starry sky, the soup spoon, oneself, and the mysterious and useless Daozang?
Obtain the exercises as usual. Discovering Daozang from the soup spoon gave him hope, the hope of proving himself, the hope of living, but the first game of the Hell Festival made him sober up, and he was a mortal, a mortal that the master could never recognize.
Mortals can't cultivate, that's the rule of this world. Otherwise, there would be no mortal word, let alone their existence.
If you write down such days, then what's the point of living?
This is also the reason why Jiang Ning disregarded life and death, stood up again and again to find death, what made him depressed was that Ji Guan's gun was too weak, and he died not very simply, too depressed, and too tortured.
Jiang Ning didn't empathize, he was a mortal who got up in front of Ji Guan Gun more than twenty times, what does this mean?
It's not that his own strength is weak, and it's not that Daozang is bad, but that his own goals are too high and his luck is too back.
In just a few days of cultivating Daozang, he kicked the iron plate for the first time in the Hell Festival, and his opponent Ji Guan Gun was a person who had been accumulating strength for four years, accumulating thick and thin hair, and wanted to enter the top three in the first war zone and climb the Ten Thousand Medicine Mountain.
If Jiang Ning could think about it the other way, if he was knocked down twenty times by Ji Guan as a mortal, what would be the extent of his body's endurance and recovery ability?
But at this moment, he didn't have the heart to think about these messy things, the bright galaxy came into view, clear and beautiful, looking at these, Jiang Ning's state of mind relaxed wholeheartedly, and his mood followed the soup spoon to travel in the starry sky, becoming vast, vast and ethereal......
The galaxy turns, the feeling of opening the world, the sun and the moon renewing, and the cycle of life and death is clearer and more real, and this time the time is much longer than the last time, about doubled before slowly fading, and then dissipating.
With the heart-rending pain, Jiang Ning opened his eyes, familiar tastes, familiar places, familiar river buildings, and familiar dog barking.
"Am I alive?"
Lying on the bed, Jiang Ning muttered. I want to live uprightly, God won't let me, I want to die without regrets, but I can't die, I turned over with difficulty, and I feel that my whole body is about to fall apart.
Gritting his teeth and sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed, he originally wanted to abandon the Linzi formula, but thinking that although it was useless, it was still good to recover his strength, and then he ran the Linzi Jue, and the medicinal power integrated into the body was instantly driven, circulating in the body, and then turned into a strong spiritual power, scattered between the viscera, and the originally lifeless body slowly regained its vitality.
He was knocked to the ground by Ji Guan's gun for the last time that day, and he successfully provoked the latter, causing the latter to kill the killer, and his tired and tense spirit instantly relaxed, and he fainted directly, and he didn't know who brought him back to the river.
However, in addition to the teacher Mo Fan, the eldest brother Jiang Huanyu is the eldest brother, the teacher Mo Fan is not qualified to enter and exit the Baicao Garden casually, the eldest brother Jiang Huanyu is more likely, and in addition, Jiang Ning can't think of others, it can't be the old man or the master of Kanazawa Jin!
No matter who sent him back, except that he was unreliable and didn't wait for him to wake up, everything else was fine.
To help yourself heal and take pills, you should know that your life is not in danger before leaving.
Now everyone is busy with the hell festival, and as an idler, maybe the only one who cares about himself is Xiao Hei.
When Xiao Hei saw that he woke up, he kept collapsing in front of him, and the depression he had in Wanyao Mountain a few days ago was swept away.
Although the Linzi Jue did not bring the cultivation and strength that he wanted, it also had its own unique benefits, the speed of recovering physical strength was extremely fast, and after running for more than 20 weeks, the body was almost recovered, stood up, and took Xiao Hei out of the river and Xiaozhu.
The wind and the sun are beautiful, the air is fresh, one person and one dog, strolling on the trail and walking towards the Baicao Garden.
At this moment, Jiang Ning has no cultivation in his mind, no Hell Festival, he has lived here for three years, and he has always lived for the same goal, and he is a natural mortal who only works hard and desperately, and has never enjoyed the beauty of the mountains so leisurely.
rushed to the thatched hut where Old Man Jin lived, and was careful to beware of Old Man Jin making bad things as usual, and waited for a long time without movement before walking in, Old Man Jin was not there.
There was no need for Jiang Ning to guide him at all, Xiao Hei walked to the spirit stone pile by himself, took one in his mouth, turned around and ran, Jiang Ning smiled silently, walked out of the hut and sat on the steps, supporting his head with both hands, sweeping through the desolate Baicao Garden, looking up at the Wanyao Mountain in the middle of the Baicao Garden.
In addition to the elixir on this Ten Thousand Medicine Mountain, what else is there?
Although the Hell Festival is to assess the cultivation of disciples, the real meaning is not so, the purpose of holding the Hell Festival every year is to determine the outstanding disciples in the door and then enter the Ten Thousand Medicine Mountain, which is the key to changing the fate of the disciples of the Lishan Heavenly Dao Sect.
Jiang Ning, who grew up in the Heavenly Dao Sect since he was a child, was carefree, and it was not until he came out of Longling Pavilion three years ago that he had the goal of living, that is, to return to Longling Pavilion and return to his master.
To this day, thirteen-year-old Jiang Ning really doesn't have the courage to persevere.
Maybe this world is really not for you, maybe you really should live a mortal life.
The only thing related to his life experience is the soup spoon, maybe he should take the soup spoon to find his biological parents.
Jiang Ning, who had made up his mind, stood up, more than ten years have passed, and he has not been absent for a few days.
Before that, he still has one more thing to do, he has to tidy up the Baicao Garden, at least on the birthday of the Emperor, don't let outsiders see that the Baicao Garden is like this, and then leave Lishan.
It's better to take action than to be excited, immediately rolled up his sleeves, found a working tool, returned to yesterday, and reorganized Baicao Garden.
Originally, he felt that it was useless and was requisitioned, if he was really tired, Jiang Ning went to get two spirit stones, sat down and practiced for a while, the purpose of cultivation was to speed up the recovery of physical strength and not delay work.
It's like the festival of hell didn't happen, and everything went back to the way it was yesterday, and it went on for five days.
All the one-legged fairies were disposed of, and then a fire was burned clean, and a pit was dug to bury the ashes.
But the strange thing is that five days have passed, and Kanazawa has not appeared.
In addition to the one-legged fairy, there are several elixirs with deep roots that are difficult to excavate, but these are already familiar with the road, and he will try to pull them out after digging for a while, because now he only thinks about work and doesn't care about cultivation, so he doesn't pay attention to it at all.
Then all the elixirs were collected together and burned cleanly, and this work lasted for more than ten days, and the days of working in the Hundred Herb Garden before and after added up, a total of twenty-two days.
These more than 20 days are just a blink of an eye for Jiang Ning, who has lived in Baicao Garden for three years, but in the past 20 days, a strange thing has happened.
Old man Jin is really gone, since Jiang Ning woke up after participating in the Hell Festival, more than 20 days, he has not seen him, Jiang Ning has an ominous premonition in his heart, something must have happened, usually old man Jin will tell him when he goes out to do errands.
The most important thing is that the birthday of the human emperor has fallen, and he has no reason to ignore the Baicao Garden.
During this period, Jiang Ning went to Mochuan to find Mo Fan, but surprisingly Mo Fan was not there, and I heard Yangzi Qi say that on the second day of the Hell Festival, the Great Elder Shen Tuhou came back, and Mo Fan was also taken away by the people of Xingshan on the same day, and he has not returned.
Jiang Ning went to ask to see his eldest brother Jiang Huanyu, who deliberately avoided the disappearance of Jin Ze and Mo Fan, saying that he was too young and should not participate in the affairs of adults.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this matter was not normal, and the Great Elder Shentu Hou sat in Xingshan and managed the affairs of the entire Lishan Heavenly Dao Sect. Master Mo Fan is mature and steady, and he is bent on climbing the Ten Thousand Medicine Mountain to find an opportunity and break through the realm of the Destiny Master, how could he be taken away by the people of the Torture Mountain during the Hell Festival.
Old man Jin stayed at the gate of Baicao Garden, and slept lazily wholeheartedly, how could he disappear?
Jiang Ning, who returned to Baicao Garden, was puzzled.
These two were the two people he was most familiar with in the Heavenly Dao Sect, and Jiang Huanyu was too deliberate when he talked to him. Intuition told Jiang Ning that the disappearance of the two Jin Mo must have something to do with him.
The day after tomorrow is the birthday of the Human Emperor, that is, the day when he plans to leave the Heavenly Dao Sect, when the time comes, he must ask his master, where did Jin Ze and Mo Fan go?
After more than 20 days of hard work, the entire Baicao Garden has taken on a new look, and all the withered elixirs have been collected by Jiang Ning, burned clean, and buried deep underground.
Although Baicao Garden does not have the grandeur of the past, it is not desolate, so there will be no regrets when you leave.
Lying on the steps in front of the hut, looking at the starry sky, Jiang Ning thought of the picture that appeared in his dream twice, what was the reason for all this?
Just as Jiang Ning was thinking, a light footsteps came from far and near, towards the thatched hut, he thought it was Kanazawa back, he turned up violently, and the words of scolding his mother were about to come out, but he was surprised when he saw someone coming.
Walking towards him was a little girl, about the same age as herself, wearing a long blue dress, long hair fluttering, hidden in the dark, looming, if she hadn't come from the ground, Jiang Ning would definitely think that this was a fairy in the sky.
Walking in, her face is even more exquisite, Jiang Ning has lived in Longling Pavilion since she was a child, and the women she has seen are her sister Yu Yi and sister Jiang Yan, both of whom are rare peerless beauties in the world, and the women in front of her are not inferior to them.
"Please stay, the Baicao Garden is a forbidden place for the sect, and disciples are not allowed to enter without the permission of the master. Jiang Ning stood up and stood in front of the latter.
In Jiang Ning's heart, the door rules are obviously much more important than this woman.
"Oh, that's right, then you can get out of the way, I'm not a disciple of your Heavenly Dao Sect, so I don't need to go through that master's permission. ”
