"Brother Ye is really good eyesight!"

Nangong Wulang laughed, beckoned the two behind him and said, "Chen'er, Qingxue, don't come and see your Uncle Ye soon." ”

Hearing this, Nangong Chen and Nangong Qingxue both stepped forward with a light smile and said politely: "I've seen Uncle Ye." ”

The Nangong family has a very strict family education, and the juniors who have taught them are dignified in words and deeds, knowledgeable and courteous, and enjoy a good reputation in Lingjiang City, and the Nangong family has no conflict of interest with Qimuwu, and even has business contacts, the relationship between the two families has always been good, and now they have begun to greet each other.

"No need to be polite. ”

Ye Songtao smiled and waved his hand, and then asked, "Brother Yue and Jing Yan didn't come?"

What he asked was naturally Nangong Yue, the head of the Nangong family, and his eldest son, who was also a well-known wizard in Lingjiang City, Nangong Jingyan.

Hearing this, Nangong Wu nodded and said, "The eldest brother can't take a break from something, and Jing Yan is also in retreat and cultivation, so the family sent me here this time." ”

As soon as these words came out, many people, including Nangong Chen and Nangong Qingxue, focused on Jueming's body, wanting to see some changes.

He and Nangong Jingyan, both of them are young and handsome people with a high reputation in Lingjiang City, although Nangong Jingyan was slightly inferior to him before, but the difference is actually not big, now that he hears the news of his retreat, I think he will not be indifferent, right?

It's a pity that the result still disappointed the two, Jueming's expression did not change in the slightest, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he still had a smile on his face when he greeted the guests.

"Let's go inside. ”

He smiled and continued, "Otherwise, the door of the small temple will be blocked by several great gods. ”

There was an endless stream of people coming from behind, and there was a long queue in front of the mountain gate, and he had to remind him out loud, and his humorous and polite way made Nangong Wu and Ye Songtao both nod their heads in appreciation.

"It's old and negligent. ”

Ye Songtao shook his head embarrassedly and said, "The second master, let's go in together." ”

Nangong Wujun stretched out his hand into the door, gave up a position, and said with a smile: "Brother Ye first, please!"

"Let's go. ”

......

"Ah, it's so late!"

Ning Yu finally ran to Lingjiang City, only to find that it was already empty, and there was not even a light on the road.

"It's really strange that my grandfather and grandmother like to join in the fun at some festivals, but they don't come today. He shook his head and grumbled in a low voice.

Before leaving, he also mentioned the Lantern Festival to the second elder, but the two hesitated, and finally refused with a smile, there was no way, he could only run to the temple alone to pray for blessings.

Ning Yu looked at the north of Lingjiang City, looked at the scene over there, sighed, and said to himself: "I hope that when the time comes, it will be good not to even squeeze in." ”

I saw a lonely mountain in the distance, now it is brightly lit, the red light is flashing, illuminating the entire night, on the plank road between the mountains, there are countless pedestrians, holding lanterns in their hands, if these stars are connected, from a distance, it looks like a fire dragon lying down.

This situation and this scene are really the only ones Ning Yu has seen in his life, as if the entire Lingjiang City has been emptied, and all the people have been transferred to the lonely mountain, and they don't know if the quaint Golden Cicada Temple can tolerate it.

There was wind under his feet, and he hurried towards the gate of the north of the city, but suddenly, he heard a sound, and couldn't help but look to the side of him, only to see that on the cold street, a little girl in shabby clothes and ragged clothes suddenly came out of the alley, and happened to collide with him.

"Pain, pain, pain, ......"

Ning Yu was unscathed, but the little girl felt as if she had hit a stone wall, she exclaimed, and fell backwards uncontrollably, falling to the ground, screaming in pain in her mouth.

Only then did he see that although the little girl had a delicate face, she was not dressed up like those ordinary girls, and the clothes she was wearing were very shabby, and her hair had not been taken care of for a long time, and the hair of some other little girls in the city was carefully combed, but she was casually draped and hung on her shoulders.

I saw that her face was terrified, and she hurriedly got up, and apologized with some guilt: "...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"

This sudden move startled Ning Yu, he is a ninth-level spirit master, what can he do? On the contrary, it is the little girl's skinny skin, and I don't know if he hurt her before, he was also rushing blindly before, ignoring his surroundings at all, he is the one who should really apologize.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

The little girl looked like she was eleven or twelve years old, her face was a little dirty, but it was a pity that her beautiful face, with her top loose on her body, a pair of shorts on her lower body, and her calves were exposed, she was completely dressed like a little beggar.

Maybe it was because she was trotting for a while, she gasped again and again, her face was a little red, and the horror in her eyes had not completely dissipated, but when she saw Ning Yu's friendly appearance, she was also secretly relieved.

“...... I'm fine. She looked at Ning Yu and replied a little timidly.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be in any big trouble, Ning Yu was also a lot more relieved, and asked, "You are in such a hurry, are you also going to the Golden Cicada Temple?"

“...... Well. The little girl didn't seem to be good at contact with outsiders, and didn't even dare to make eye contact with him, but just lowered her head and replied softly.

Hearing this, Ning Yu smiled heartily and said, "It's just right, I'm going there too, the mountain road at night is dangerous, I'll take you with me." ”

“...... Do you want to go too?" The little girl's clear eyes were slightly surprised, the wilderness in the north of the city was more dangerous than the stone forest in the west and the suburbs in the south of the city, and there were some extremely dangerous monsters lurking everywhere, and she had the courage to decide to go tonight because of the lantern temple fair.

And the boy in front of her, who didn't look a few years older than her, actually threatened to protect her, no matter what, it made her heart warm.

Ning Yu chuckled and scratched his head, and said, "Sort of, I happen to have nothing to do, so I go to the temple to pray for a blessing, my name is Ning Yu, I live in the suburbs of the south of the city, what about you?"

The little girl was both timid and introverted, and the grinning Ning Yu were completely two extremes, only to see her open her mouth slightly, and whispered: "...... I grew up in Jingshan Hall since I was a child, and the people there called me Yunyi. ”

Jing Shantang?Ning Yu suddenly realized, no wonder this little girl had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but she was dressed dirty, and she looked even more depressed than when he returned from collecting medicine, it turned out to be an orphan who had been abandoned.

This Jingshan Hall, which he had heard, was similar in nature to some of the Sadin Courtyards, and was used to take in some abandoned orphans, although the conditions were poor, but it was better than them living on the streets. However, the dragons and snakes in Lingjiang City are mixed, there are many forces, all parties are divided, and many people have often seen disputes over territory, so this Jingshan Hall is also difficult to escape, and under the struggle of some forces, it has been disbanded several years ago.

"So, you're a bit like me. Ning Yu smiled bitterly.

Yun Yi was slightly stunned, with some surprise in his eyes, and asked, "...... You're an orphan too?"

Ning Yu's face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "It's not like an orphan, it's just that I've never met my parents, and my grandfather and grandmother have always brought me up. ”

Although he had asked about his parents a few times, he would be cleverly avoided by his grandfather and grandmother, and besides, fifteen years had passed, and he was used to such days, and over time he forgot about it.

Hearing this, Yun Yi's heart was much less guarded, after all, the two had similar experiences and could better understand each other's feelings. He walked in front, Yunyi obediently followed closely behind, and she seemed to have no wariness of this young man who had just met her for a short time and had a similar encounter with her.

Seeing that she wanted to follow closely, but deliberately kept a slight distance, her appearance of wanting to get close but a little timid, made Ning Yu helpless, but she didn't know that she was afraid that if she got too close, she might accidentally stain him.

"Let's go, it's getting late, we need to hurry. He took Yunyi's hand, smiled back, and grabbed her and ran down the street.

Yunyi's hands are as warm as jade, although they are not very clean, they have a baby-like tender touch, which makes people a little reluctant to let go as soon as they hold it, and Yunyi's face is already crimson, buried in her head and unable to speak, the girl's mind is much more precocious than that of the boy, and she has reached the age of the beginning of love, and understands how intimate this move is.

It's just that she didn't react, as if she was afraid that her actions would startle the little elk in front of her, so she let the young man lead her all the way forward.

......

The northern suburbs of the city, in the Golden Cicada Temple.

The top of the temple is already full of lanterns, and the inside and outside of the Buddhist hall are bustling, and the voices of people are full of indescribable liveliness.

Ning Yu used her dexterity and aura, as fast as the wind, and quickly lit up the stone steps, sweeping upwards with her cloud clothes, barely letting her use any strength.

"It's finally here. ”

He breathed a long sigh of relief, and landed steadily in front of the Buddha gate with his cloud clothes, but it was already too late, and even the monks who received visitors at the main gate had entered, and through the gate, he could see countless candles neatly arranged in the temple, like stars.

Yun Yi looked surprised, under the leadership of the young man, it only took a moment to reach the Golden Cicada Temple far away on the top of the mountain without any effort.

In addition to being shocked, she also began to worry about the teenager, and said with concern: "...... Are you alright?"

"It's fine. Ning Yu waved his hand and replied with a smile.

Just kidding, he is a ninth-level spirit master, if it is a problem to run such a little way, it will really be a big joke in the world.

This section of the road may be far for ordinary people, for him, it is a matter of time, his physical fitness has improved a lot after the breakthrough, and it is okay to run back and forth a few times, as long as he keeps breathing smoothly, he will not feel tired at all.

"It's already starting inside. When the two of them were on the mountainside, they heard the bursts of chanting from the monks in the Golden Cicada Temple, and now they were close to the mountain gate, and they were deeply shocked by the atmosphere of the scene.

......

"Master Huijing, don't come unharmed. ”

An old man in a blue robe strode forward and smiled at a senior monk in the temple.

And beside him, there is a graceful and slender beauty, who is the Qiu Rou steward of the Yanbing Pavilion, this blue-robed old man is also the head of the Yanbing Pavilion, Mu Lao Mu Pengcheng.

Seeing the person coming, Huijing also arched his hand and replied with a smile: "Manager Mu." ”

If it were an ordinary person, his eyes would have been attracted by the beautiful woman beside the blue-robed old man, but this Huijing master could not be affected by it at all, and he was still calm, completely regarded as a pink skeleton, and he really deserved to be a high-ranking monk of the Huizi generation.

"I heard that Master Huihai is going to teach the Fa today, so I came here, but I haven't waited until now. Mu Pengcheng stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Huijing couldn't help but smile apologetically, and said: "Senior Brother Huihai's words are still in the meditation, and we don't dare to disturb us, but he knows the matter of teaching the Fa, and as long as the time is ripe later, he will definitely come out by himself." ”

Hearing this, Mu Pengcheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his heart shook slightly.

The inside and outside of the temple are bustling and hot, and Master Huihai can still listen to the things outside the window with both ears, and meditate quietly, his state of mind is really terrifying!

Sure enough, he is worthy of being the strongest person in Lingjiang City......

He secretly admired in his heart, and then explained with a smile: "I'm just saying it casually, Master Huijing, don't care." ”

"How so. Huijing smiled and shook her head.

The Golden Cicada Temple is in the area of Lingjiang City, there is no intention of hegemony, and all forces are at peace, even the Yanbing Pavilion and the Nangong family do not dare to have any thoughts about it, it is completely transcendent, and no force dares to provoke.

Such an existence will not threaten itself anyway, and other forces are naturally happy to befriend it, so it has established the current status of the Golden Cicada Temple.

"Yo, isn't this Mu in charge?"

Suddenly, a slightly ridiculous voice floated in, and a person in the distance walked in a tiger's stride and strode over, it was Nangong Wu who was standing outside the temple gate before.

Just listening to the voice, Mu Pengcheng recognized the person who came, frowned slightly, but still arched his hand out of courtesy, and said with a smile: "Nangong Er is in charge, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

At this time, the originally noisy scene was also a lot quieter for a while, and in the area of Lingjiang City, the Golden Cicada Temple, which was the head of the dragon, had no intention of being dominant, and the remaining two of the three top forces naturally became mortal enemies.

Yanbing Pavilion and the Nangong family have had a grudge for a long time, but no one can help anyone, and there are frequent conflicts over territory and some rare resources, which has long been known in Lingjiang City.

The steward of Qiu Rou smiled slightly, and whispered: "The second boss is still the same, so heroic and mighty, majestic. ”

This seemingly flattering sentence seems a little strange when it falls on the ears of some people.

Even Nangong Wu was stunned, he couldn't imagine that he would put a high hat on this woman in a cold manner, and praise himself so much on such an occasion, isn't it just a hint that he is noisy and doesn't take the Golden Cicada Temple in his eyes?

This woman is really vicious, Nangong Wu is secretly vigilant in his heart.

"Where, compared to you Qiu Rou in charge, I am still far behind, and I actually spent 10,000 taels to buy a third-level medicinal herb, which is really courageous!" he stared slightly, chuckling and lashing.

Hearing this, Huijing was also taken aback, looked at Mu Pengcheng, and said in shock: "Manager Mu, is there really such a thing?"

Mu Pengcheng smiled bitterly, he only learned about this matter later, although he knew that this deal was not profitable, it was the result of the two families competing with each other to raise the price, but at this moment, he must not lose face, and explained: "Master Huijing doesn't know, that fire grass is a rare medicinal material that has been rare for hundreds of years, and it itself contains huge energy, if it can be refined into an elixir, it will be of great benefit to help break through the Qi Refining Realm, and its true value is incalculable." ”

"I see. ”

Although Hui Jing had never heard of the fire grass, he could also hear some clues from the words of Chief Manager Mu, and it was obvious that this would not be an ordinary third-level medicinal material.

Qiu Rou was not annoyed, and replied with a light smile: "In the past, didn't your Nangong family also covet this fire grass?"

"A mere third-level medicinal herb is nothing, it is dispensable for my Nangong family, at most it is just icing on the cake. Nangong Wu said disdainfully.

"Oh, really?" Qiu Rou's red lips were slightly upturned, her eyes were like autumn water, her eyes were rippling, and she smiled charmingly, and said: "But I heard that the eldest young master of your family has been trying his best to impact the foundation building realm recently, and he has taken great pains to get rid of this fire grass, and even paid a sky-high price of nine thousand taels." ”

"Nowadays, it's not that you can't eat grapes, and you're talking about sour grapes, right?"

This is undoubtedly a blockbuster news, everyone present was shocked, it turned out that Nangong Jingyan was already about to attack the spirit master, no wonder the Nangong family went around collecting heavenly treasures for him at any cost.

Nangong Wu shook his head and smiled, and said disdainfully: "Jing Yan Tianzhong's assets, where can I use these things, but it is the Cao Tong of your Yanbing Pavilion who has only been promoted to the ninth level spirit not long ago, be careful not to be ambitious, don't think that with the elixir, everything will be fine." ”

"I don't bother you with that. ”

As long as the two families get together, there will inevitably be some cynicism and quarrels at the corners of their mouths, and the people in Lingjiang City are already commonplace, and now more people's eyes are focused on Jue Ming's body.

"Second uncle, is this Jueming really more powerful than the eldest brother?" Nangong Chen looked at Jueming and looked up and down carefully, and he couldn't see anything special at all.

He couldn't have imagined that such an unattractive monk was actually the leader of the younger generation in Lingjiang City?

Nangong Wu didn't say much, just nodded, undoubtedly acquiescing.

Nangong Chen was silent, he was sixteen this year, although he was not as good as Nangong Jingyan, he was also a rare genius, and now he had cultivated to the Seventh Heaven of Qi Refining, and he was a genuine seventh-level spirit.

In the past, in his eyes, his eldest brother Nangong Jingyan was talented and strong, among the younger generation of Lingjiang City, it could be said that it was difficult to find opponents, and he was the object of his greatest admiration, some people who were several years older were not Nangong Jingyan's opponents, and even Cao Tong of Yanbing Pavilion was defeated in his hands.

He was originally considered to be the first person of the younger generation in Lingjiang City, but he lost in a competition.

And the opponent at that time was the awakening in front of him.

"Didn't Cao Tong from your pavilion come?"

Nangong Wu glanced around, and said with a little shame: "It's a pity, otherwise he can still let him compete with Jing Yan to see which one is higher and which is lower." ”

Hearing this, everyone gasped, Nangong Wu was undoubtedly exposing the scars of the Yan Bingge, and wanted to give it a hard time.

Who in Lingjiang City doesn't know that Nangong Jingyan Tianzong is only slightly inferior to Jueming, and Cao Tong has never beaten him, which is also a pain point in Yanbing Pavilion.

And now, it is clear that Nangong Jingyan is not present, but Nangong Wu mentioned Cao Tong, which is undoubtedly deliberate, and he is nakedly slapping Yanbing Pavilion's face.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the people on the side of the Yanbing Pavilion suddenly turned pale, and their gloomy faces were about to drip water, even Mu Pengcheng couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and said a little angrily: "What's so good about the competition between juniors, if the second master of Nangong feels idle, it is better for the old man to accompany you through two moves!"

Cao Tong lost to Nangong Yuchen, he can only blame him for his inferior skills, but after all, he represents the Yanbing Pavilion, and now Nangong Wu has mentioned it again and again, it is tolerable, which is unbearable! Even the clay people will be angry, not to mention Mu Pengcheng, who is the chief manager, if he doesn't come forward again, the Yanbing Pavilion will really be looked down upon.

"Okay, today is the night of the lights, and everyone has put out the fire. At the critical moment, it was Huijing who came out to reconcile, after all, this is the Golden Cicada Temple, and he can't watch the two fight.

Seeing that the senior monks of the Golden Cicada Temple had come forward, Nangong Wu also smiled and didn't say anything more.
