Chapter 149: Tianshui City
The thick ghost aura that flew out from the passage was like a sharp blade, shattering the evil spirits gathered at the mouth of the passage. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Under the glazed pagoda, a golden pillar of light shrouded the entire netherworld passage. The leaked ghost qi was absorbed and rose like a retrograde water flow, coupled with the ghost qi that overflowed after the evil ghost was blown up, the heaven and earth qi of various attributes in the entire array collided with a strange light, just like boiling water, a revived volcano, and it would erupt in the next moment!
The pagoda was topped by the swelling and surging qi of heaven and earth.
One hundred and twenty Nether Immortal Crystals couldn't be suppressed, and they kept vibrating.
100,000 evil spirits kept screaming and wailing in the circle, and as the pagoda rose, they were pushed upwards by the ghost qi that kept overflowing from the passage.
The passage that had been blown up has a tendency to close again!
Zhou Ning's forehead was dripping with sweat, but his eyes were flashing with brilliance.
He felt the power of terror against it. The green tendons on his arms had flared up, and he could barely hold on!
"Ahh
With a hard bite on the tip of his tongue, more than a dozen Netherworld Immortal Crystals in his hand instantly shattered into powder, and Zhou Ning poured out a large amount of demonic qi into the pagoda.
"Boom"! The pagoda is pressed down! The huge wave of qi dispersed the soul crushed by the evil spirit at the lowest level.
This fall shook between heaven and earth, but its power could not be dissipated, and it could only continue to squeeze towards the center of the circle. At this moment, all the light in the circle had disappeared, leaving only the boundless and endless dark ghostly energy surging and fermenting.
There was another loud rumbling sound, and the Nether Passage was finally overwhelmed, and it quickly collapsed like a thinly covered sand pit.
Zhou Ning was also caught off guard and was swept into the boundless darkness.
Floating and heavi, Zhou Ning felt as if he was a small boat thrown in the waves, without rope traction and no control by the person at the helm, he could only go with the flow and let the waves slaughter.
I don't know how long it took for Zhou Ning to slowly control his body and gradually come to his senses. He was in sharp pain, his eyes were pierced by sharp blades, and his ears were buzzing.
"Hmm......" he forced himself to sit up, closing his eyes for a moment before opening them again. I looked around, but I found myself sitting on a green grass, and there was a loess path that winded endlessly not far away.
Where is this?
Zhou Ning was a little dazed, and was about to call Ao Ying out to ask what was going on, but saw a carriage coming from a distance on the loess path.
All right...... Wherever it is, it's definitely not in the Exiles.
The weather here is hot, and after Zhou Ning staggered to his feet, he took off his tattered coat and threw it into the space. It's just that there is some space around, and it's not easy to change the pants.
After a brief pat of the dust on his trousers, he stepped over the green grass and onto the loess path.
I happened to meet the carriage that was moving.
Seeing that Zhou Ning was dressed strangely, the coachman couldn't help but look at him a few more times. However, there is no trend towards stopping.
Zhou Ning also didn't have the idea of stopping people. He was a little embarrassed now, and he didn't know much about the world, so he decided to investigate it first and then decide what to do.
However, a crisp voice came from inside the carriage: "Uncle Fu, stop." β
"Huh-" Uncle Fu grabbed the reins and stopped the carriage beside Zhou Ning.
Zhou Ning's muscles stiffened, and he raised his head vigilantly, carefully observing the carriage in front of him.
It was a very light pony carriage with windows. Uncle Fu on the wheel is around forty years old, and he doesn't have the slightest spiritual power fluctuation on his body, and he looks just an ordinary person.
The roller shutter in the window was pulled up, revealing a delicate beautiful face inside. The other party blinked and looked at Zhou Ning, but did not comment on Zhou Ning's strange costume, but asked with a smile: "This senior, meeting is fate, can you ask the junior to take you for a ride?" β
The girl looked like she was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, and when she laughed, two pear vortices appeared on her cheeks, and she was very friendly when she looked at it.
But Zhou Ning heard another meaning from her words.
Predecessor? Could it be that this person is also a cultivator?
Zhou Ning looked at it intently, and sure enough, he felt a strong ghost qi fluctuation from the other party. But the realm is not high, just a ghost soldier who has just entered the innate world.
So the other party felt the same person, so he stopped and invited him to go along?
Seeing that Zhou Ning didn't speak, Uncle Fu was a little angry: "Miss, people don't appreciate it, let's not meddle in things!" β
The other party is dressed so strangely, in case it is some kind of robber, they are in danger.
But the young lady reprimanded: "Uncle Fu! Shut up! This senior has a deep cultivation, you have so many mouths and tongues, and you are carefully annoyed by your seniors, even I won't dare to save you when the time comes. β
That being said, there was no trace of fear in his tone.
It can be seen how bold and naΓ―ve this girl is.
Uncle Fu glanced at Zhou Ning in surprise, but saw that although Zhou Ning was embarrassed, he had a cold temperament and an arrogant demeanor, so he accepted his contempt and honestly retracted back to the wheel.
A person who cultivates the truth is not something that ordinary people like him can afford to provoke.
But I complained a little in my heart: when I go out, I don't pay attention to it, even if I meet a fellow person, I can't be so enthusiastic, right?
Isn't there anything bad about the immortals?
Zhou Ning listened to the conversation between the master and servant and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where are you going?" He asked quietly.
The woman's half snow-white arm pressed against the window lattice, her head rested on her arm, and she smiled strangely: "Let's go to Tianshui City, how about it, is it the same road with you?" β
"Tianshui City ......" Zhou Ning repeated in a low voice, thinking that he was not familiar with this place anyway, rather than groping around by himself, it was better to follow these two people to Tianshui City to have a look.
The girl's eyes rolled again, tilted her head, and said, "Oops! Are you afraid that I will lie to you? My name is Hu Xiangling, and I am a member of the Hu family in Tianshui City. I can't see your cultivation, so I can see that you are definitely better than me. Since you're better than me, don't be afraid that I'll lie to you! β
Zhou Ning glanced at Hu Xiangling again, and saw that the hairpin ring on the other party's head was simple, and the fat powder on his face was not applied, so he guessed that the other party's identity would not be too high.
"Thank you very much." He bowed slightly towards Hu Xiangling, and then climbed onto the wheel and sat side by side with Uncle Fu.
After Uncle Fu knew that Zhou Ning was also a cultivator, he became humble. After seeing Zhou Ning sit in the carriage, he couldn't help but give way to the side, and then carefully threw up the horsewhip and continued to hurry.
Zhou Ning took everything in his eyes, but he was still silent. After getting into the carriage, he rolled up the cuffs of his white shirt inside, and then half-closed his eyes again, allowing his dry eyes to rest for a while.
Hu Xiangling is a lively person. Ever since Zhou Ning got in the car, she has been chattering non-stop.
"Senior, don't you know your name?"
Zhou Ning also has the heart to set out the situation of this world, so he must answer all questions.
"In the next surname Zhou, a single name is a Ning character." He learned the tone of the girl's speech and said, "The girl can just call me by my name, no need to call the senior." β
Uncle Fu couldn't help but glance at Zhou Ning, thinking that although this immortal looked cold, he found that the other party was quite easy-going after actual contact.
"Okay, Senior Zhou Ning." Hu Xiangling said briskly: "Then why are you going to Tianshui City?" β
Zhou Ning raised his heart slightly, and said briefly: "I was just passing by here." What about you? β
Hu Xiangling smiled and said: "I said that I am the Hu family, so naturally I am going home." However, even though it was my own home, it was the first time I had been there. β
Zhou Ning raised his eyebrows: "This is strange......"
He didn't ask, but the curiosity in his tone was palpable. Hu Xiangling also needed to talk, so she said with a little grievance: "I have been living in the countryside with my mother before. My mother told me about my background before she died. It turned out that my father was the eldest son of the Hu family in Tianshui City. My mother...... My mother is just an outer room. I kept my mother's filial piety for three years, and I used up all the silver in the family, so I had no choice but to come over with the tokens. β
This life experience sounds quite miserable.
But Zhou Ning didn't hear the sadness and indignation in her tone, although there was a little bit of grievance, but more helplessness.
"Hey...... I don't know if my father will recognize me. Hu Xiangling sighed and said, "I'm running out of money, and it's a problem to eat in the future." β
Uncle Fu was uncomfortable when he heard it, so he couldn't help but persuade: "Miss, it's okay." It's a big deal, after entering the city, we will sell the carriage and rent a small courtyard for some silver. β
Hu Xiangling said: "Uncle Fu, I have told you many times that Tianshui City does not use silver taels. People use Nether Stone. β
Uncle Fu smiled: "It's the same!" It's all money anyway. β
Nether Stone?
Zhou Ning was stunned in his heart, and then relaxed again: Ao Ying's place, most of them are Netherworld Immortal Crystals, and there are also a small number of Netherworld Stones, which can solve the urgent need.
"Uncle Fu, when you enter Tianshui City, you can't control your mouth like in the countryside. My mother said that you must be careful in Tianshui City and don't cause trouble. Although those cultivators generally don't bother us ordinary people, once they endure the anger of the other party, the consequences will be very serious. Hu Xiangling instructed.
Uncle Fu laughed: "Miss, you forgot again, you are not a little ordinary person." You're also a cultivator. You, like this Zhou Gongzi, are all immortals. β
Hu Xiang smiled again: "I'm just a beginner, what kind of immortal am I." It's Zhou Ning's senior, what kind of cultivation are you? I can't even see through your cultivation. β
Zhou Ning had a good impression of Hu Xiangling, and when he heard this, he said, "I just cultivated to the Earth Soul Wheel. β
Hu Xiangling seemed to be a little vague about cultivation, and he was not surprised when he heard this, but smiled crisply: "That must be very powerful!" Uncle Fu, with such a powerful senior with us, we don't have to be afraid of encountering robbers anymore! β
Uncle Fu glanced at Zhou Ning again, and said yes.
Zhou Ning also laughed: "Are robbers rampant around here?" β
This time, Uncle Fu's conversation box was immediately opened.
"It's okay here, after all, it's close to Tianshui City. There are many bandits in the places where they passed before! If it weren't for the fact that our young lady was an immortal, and our carriage was small, I was afraid that we would have been targeted a long time ago. Uncle Fu said: "It's better to be close to the immortals!" At least it's too late! β
Hu Xiangling also echoed: "Yes, yes! If only my mother had taken us to Tianshui City earlier. By the way, Senior Zhou, have you been to Tianshui City before? β
Zhou Ning shook his head: "It's also the first time I've been there." β
Hu Xiangling was suddenly extremely disappointed: "Ah! Then you don't know where the Hu family is? I was thinking of going with you. β
Zhou Ning listened to it and said with a smile: "The road is under the mouth, as long as you have a mouth, are you afraid of getting lost?" β
Hu Xiangling thought about it and felt that it was too, so he was more relieved.
That night, several people rested in a small village along the way.
It is said to be a village, but in fact there are only a dozen families. Hu Xiangling's mouth was sweet, and she quickly moved a family at the entrance of the village and asked the other party to take them in for the night.
Zhou Ning found a gold ingot from Ao Ying, and asked the family who took them in to go to the village to find a family and buy a set of coarse cloth clothes.
As a result, the neighbor's woman chattered about "sales": "The son looks like he has never suffered hardship, how can he wear those coarse cloth clothes." Why don't you wait another day, I'll go to my sister's house and find a set of satin clothes!" β
Zhou Ning just didn't want to attract attention anymore, as for whether the clothes were coarse cloth or satin, he was not so particular.
As long as it's new, it's okay if it's not worn.
So he simply rejected the woman's "sales pitch".
The business was not done, and the woman went down in a daze.
Hu Xiangling held the tea bowl and smiled and bent his eyes: "I thought you were going to be the wronged boss all the time." Ten taels of gold is enough to buy you a room full of silk! β
It's just that the people who took them in are kind, so she didn't say much, but she didn't want Zhou Ning to be wronged by others, so she laughed at him.
Zhou Ning smiled disappreciatively: "Anyway, when you get to Tianshui City, these gold and silver are not easy to use." Why care. β
Uncle Fu on the side said: "If the son doesn't care, you can reward me!" If the Hu family doesn't let me go with me, I have to go back. β
Zhou Ning sighed: "Don't worry, how much money I have left over at that time will be left to you." β
Fu Shule's eyebrows opened and smiled: "Zhou Gongzi is really generous." β
Early the next morning, they were entertained by the enthusiastic heads of the household, and then set off for Tianshui City. The night before, everyone slept late, so Hu Xiangling didn't talk non-stop like yesterday, and curled up in the carriage as soon as he got on the train to continue to catch up on sleep.
The carriage and horses swayed, and Zhou Ning was also drowsy when he sat on the wheel. I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly felt that the carriage slowed down, and I heard Uncle Fu say in a happy voice: "Miss, Master Zhou, Tianshui City has arrived!" β
Zhou Ning's drowsiness disappeared suddenly, and when he looked up, he saw that at the end of the wide road, a majestic ancient city was standing quietly there.
The gates were wide open, and on either side of them stood two teams of guards in armor and with swords. Inside and outside the city gates, people came in and out. Zhou Ning took a closer look and saw that the other party did not verify his identity as shown on TV, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
He's a black man.
After listening to Uncle Fu's words, Hu Xiangling hurriedly got up from the carriage, lifted the curtain, and shouted happily: "It's here?" (To be continued.) )
