Chapter 122: Neither friend nor foe

"Mr. Ning, I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

The Tianqing Pond is rippling.

The first time Ning Yi walked out of the formation, he saw a black-robed woman three zhang away, leaning on the side of the ancient wood with her arms crossed, her temperament was leisurely, and she didn't look like she had been waiting for a long time at all.

Ning Yi quickly searched around his mind and confirmed that he didn't know the woman in front of him.

The woman's black robe was tattooed with several white clouds, and the linen material seemed to be mixed with some kind of secret refinement.

He quietly locked his gaze in the gloom under the black robe, this woman's cultivation realm, he couldn't see through it at a glance, was it because of the material of the robe?

Moire black robe......

There are so many people wearing this costume that it doesn't have any iconic significance.

He frowned, "Who are you?"

The woman smiled and said, "Mr. Ning, you might as well guess, I've seen you before." ”

There was silence.

The sound of the water in Tianqing Pond is rippling...... Ning Yi had several things to do at hand, and he didn't want to waste time on that woman, but after thinking of one thing in Tiandu, he changed his attention.

A slight mutter.

"You are not a practitioner of Buddhism...... Nor are they inhabitants of the East Soil. ”

Ning Yi said word by word, "Because you don't have the smell of incense, nor do you have the pious 'breath' of believing in Buddhism...... Except for the lucky ones in the Eastern Land, only a very small number of powerful people in the Heavenly Capital can enter the Lingshan Cave Heaven. ”

After a pause, he smiled, "But obviously, you are not one of those very few privileged high-ranking people. ”

The woman raised her eyebrows, "How can Mr. Ning see that?"

"Because I have seen all the powerful people. Ning Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "You are just a small character, the kind that can't afford to make a splash in the Tiandu Imperial City." You said you'd seen me before...... This sentence avoids another important point, in fact, I don't need you to say it, I know very well that I have never seen you, in the Tiandu Imperial City, there are only a few people who are qualified to talk to me, and let me remember. ”

"Although I have been away from the Great Sui World for three years, after returning to the northern realm, in the past few years, the size of the heavenly capital has been trivial, and Senior Brother Shen Yuan has taken the scroll and shown it to me. ”

"The prince wants to have a negotiation with Lingshan, but the mission has not been sent for a long time, it should be almost a year from the will to negotiate to the present, right?" Ning Yi smiled: "There are many capable people under the prince's command, and those strategists in the Chunfeng Pavilion will definitely be able to calculate the node of the dispute between the Eastern Soil and the Zen Law, if I am not mistaken, you are here with the mission." ”

After saying so many words in one breath, Ning Yi looked at the black robe, raised his eyebrows and came to a conclusion: "The person behind you wants to see me." ”

It's not even an interrogative sentence.

Rather, it's an almost firm tone.

After hearing this, the woman leaning on the ancient tree couldn't help but sigh softly.

She looked at Ning Yi, took off her black robe, and sure enough, she revealed a strange face that she had never seen before.

It's a little pale, but it's not beautiful.

The black-robed moire woman, after showing her true face and showing respect, raised a hand and put it on her chest, quite solemnly, and bent down to rub the ancient etiquette of the heavenly capital, "Mr. Ning, you are indeed a very smart person. My family wants to see you. ”

"Thinking about the prince's love for 'crossing the sea of suffering', I should give him a face...... So the mission is bound to meet. ”

Ning Yi also returned the salute, his attitude was always peaceful, and he did not have a high-minded spirit.

He said softly: "But Ning still has trivial matters today, tell the adult behind you, and Ning will visit you another day." ”

Giving such an answer, in fact, Ning Yi was grateful to the prince for his "gift of medicine", if it weren't for the prince, he would not be interested in meeting with this mission at all, and the negotiations between Tiandu and Lingshan were nothing more than trying to solve the issue of the position on the dispute over the eastern border.

Lingshan wants to take resources.

Heaven wants to see attitude.

The wrestling between imperial power and Buddhism...... If Ning Yi officially met with this mission on a public occasion, then it would actually be equivalent to expressing his attitude.

When the status of the station is high, there are many "complicated" things to consider.

With his identity as a familiar acquaintance with Da Keqing and the Buddha, it is bound to increase the pressure on Lingshan.

"Mr. Ning, please don't be in a hurry to refuse. ”

The woman smiled a little embarrassedly, "My family said that if you come to invite you in person, then you must not come...... Therefore, I can only come to Tianqingchi to meet with Mr. Ning, if Mr. Ning is hesitating about the tension of the current situation, then rest assured that no matter whether it is completed or not, the mission will not inform anyone about the contact with Mr. Ning. ”

This means that her meeting with Ning Yi here will become a secret.

Ning Yi was still hesitating.

But there has been some wavering.

"If Mr. Ning insists on refusing today, please look at such things first. ”

She pulled out an ancient copper coin from her sleeve that swirled in mist.

The copper coin entwined the mist and made a clanging sound of wind and thunder.

Ning Yi's eyes immediately lit up, the breath of this copper coin was almost the same as the ancient coin of the Tianqing Pond Lake Heart Pavilion...... Liuyao Ancient Art?

"Mr. Ning doesn't know me...... But he must have known the adult behind my house. ”

The woman sighed, took back the ancient coin, folded her hands and sleeves and saluted again, repeating the eight words that the adult said to herself before leaving, "The old man of Tiandu is neither an enemy nor a friend." ”

Ning Yi looked at the cloud patterns on the black robe...... Suddenly I understood who the other party was.

......

......

The green mountains are in the daytime, and the living beings are small at a glance.

The bamboo building is shrouded in mist, since the Tiandu mission was stationed, this hill has been filled with fog all around, and Lingshan has issued a ban on idlers and other people not to trespass, in this Pure Land Holy Land, no one will disobey the will of Lingshan...... So this fog is also cold and deserted, and there is no sound.

"It's redundant. ”

Ning Yi walked in the mist, the black-robed woman led the way, he put his hands behind his head, and said lightly: "This small bamboo building is already remote, and the Tiandu Mission has not offended the two sects of Zen Law, why bother with so much fog, it looks like a ghost, if it is at night, it is gloomy, maybe it can scare a few unlucky passers-by." ”

In the mist, there was a slightly feminine response.

"Two thousand years ago, the battle of the Lingshan Vinaya Sect across the Great Wall in the East left an indelible scar on Daze. The border luck is damaged, and the ghost cultivator rises. Those Bodhisattva temples in Daze are still wandering with lonely souls and wild ghosts that can't be dispersed, and the sins done by Buddhism have really scared you to death of what you call 'unlucky passers-by'. ”

"As for now...... This is the Lingshan Cave Heaven, the ascetic cultivators who disobey the will of Buddhism, I will clean it up for Mu Heng Jinyi, and they will not say anything. ”

The fog breaks.

One draped widely

The feminine man in the big black robe sat under the bamboo building where the plaques of all beings were hung, and there was a green wooden table, piled with ancient scrolls and covered with jade cases.

"Red sleeves add fragrance?" Ning Yi smiled, "Lord Yun is so Yaxing." ”

The master behind this Tiandu Mission...... Traveling thousands of miles away from the Imperial City of Tiandu to arrive here, it was none other than the head of the Great Sui Intelligence Division.

Yun Xun.

The Intelligence Division usually wears a black robe with a hidden aura when traveling on missions.

But it's not actually this moire robe.

This time he went to Lingshan, Yun Xun brought all the elites he trusted, before leaving, he deliberately used the secret technique of the Lotus Pavilion to refine a batch of robes, which had never been published, and Ning Yi naturally couldn't recognize the calendar.

Yun Xun waved his hand, and the woman put down the action of grinding ink, silently retreated, and then quietly disappeared into the mist.

"Ning Yi. ”

The head of the intelligence department looked at the young man in front of him with a breath and sword intent, which was completely different from the last time they met.

Three years apart.

The last time we met, was it at the opening of the Great Pilgrimage?

Yun Xun smiled: "Mr. Ning......"

He changed his name.

"You're always a miracle worker. The last time we met at the Lotus Dojo, I felt like you didn't live long. Yun Xun's expression was a little dazed, as if he was recalling the scene at that time, and sighed: "A kid who has not broken through the Ten Realms has actually broken through the lotus dojo under the eyes of many Destiny Star Monarchs, if it weren't for His Majesty's action...... You may indeed be able to escape from the capital. ”

In his eyes, Ning Yi created an incredible miracle.

In the vigorous coup d'Γ©tat in Tiandu, Ning Yi and Taizong died together in the imperial mausoleum, and the tide burned out...... Three years later, he was reborn from the end of the demon clan and returned from the demon clan?

Yun Xun is a person who thinks he has an "excellent life", and he was favored by Mr. Yuan Chun, and achieved the position of the head of the Intelligence Department at an extremely young age, and then became a young star monarch who was only inferior to Daoist Zhou You...... Along the way, I was extremely lucky, as if I was shrouded in the aura of God's favor.

It wasn't until he opened Ning Yi's file that he discovered that the real light shrouded was not smooth sailing all the way.

It's that every time you fall into a dead end, you can survive in a desperate situation.

"Some say you're a 'miracle man'. Yun Xun looked at Ning Yi with a smile, and twisted the mist-shrouded ancient coin with two fingers, "Is this copper coin attracting you......?

"This is the prince's business. ”

Ning Yi barely hesitated, and spoke directly.

Yun Xun's eyes showed a light of surprise, "Oh?

"The ancient art of the six masters, the secret method of the royal family, Mr. Yuan Chun is the master of the Lotus Pavilion, this technique will definitely not be lost......" Ning Yi said lightly: "If I guessed correctly, there must be two other copper coins, as the necessities of the six masters, these three copper coins, Mr. Yuan will only give his trusted disciples." ”

Yun Xun's expression was a little gloomy.

"Mr. Yuan doesn't want to see the 'Tiandu Coup', nor does he want to see the three divisions take sides...... If he knew that you had betrayed the Lotus Pavilion that night, he would be very disappointed. Ning Yi looked at the chief priest, he was not ready to turn over the old accounts, but said calmly: "Grand chief Yun, you have protected the three princes in Tiandu, why do you think ...... You and I are neither friend nor foe?"
