Chapter Eighty-Eight: Ready to Go
After Shi Ziling left the Ma family, he went to Nanying, he estimated that the time to go back and forth to the south should be relatively long, so he explained to the soldiers in his camp the personnel arrangements when he was not there, and then selected five hundred elite soldiers from the five thousand men and horses under his command as the guards to escort Nangong Xia, and the rest of the men and horses were handed over to Wu Guang, the commander of Qianzong.
After arranging things in the barracks, Shi Ziling returned to Yu's house.
The people of the Yu family were a little worried when they heard that Shi Ziling was going to escort Nangong Xia to Narcissus City in the south.
Niu Zhengying said: "Ziling, Nangong Xia, as the head of the five great families, and the eighth master on the top 100 list, he will be plotted by others, so it can be seen that the enemy who wants to kill him must be extraordinary." Now that he has not recovered from his serious injuries, it will be difficult for you to protect him and return to Narcissus City safely. ”
Although Shi Ziling knew that the mastermind of Lu Dao's assassination of Nangong Xia had been killed by himself, he didn't dare to guarantee that no one would snatch the illustration on Nangong Xia like that guy from the Huang Ting faction, but he didn't want the people of the Yu family to worry about him.
Shi Ziling said: "Everyone, don't worry, if my expectations are correct, the mastermind who bought the murderer to assassinate Nangong Xia that day should be the man in black who was killed by me in the bamboo forest." Although the dark assassin he bought was powerful, according to Nangong Xia, he was also seriously injured, and it is estimated that he will not come back for the time being. So I don't think it's going to be too much of a danger. ”
"What's more, I also brought 500 soldiers, more than 500 of us protect one person, it should be no problem, you don't have to worry. ”
Yu Zhengmiao said: "Although the mastermind of buying the murderer is dead, Nangong Xia's enemies may not be the only one, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will want to kill him while he is seriously injured." ”
Yu Wei said: "I'm not worried, Nangong Xia, a fat old man, looks like a blessing at a glance, I don't think he will die so easily, not to mention that there are people guarding Ziling." Now who in the north and south of the river doesn't know the fame of Shiziling, I think even if someone wants to trouble Nangong Xia, they have to check whether their own weight is enough!"
After Yu Wei said this, Yu Zhengmiao and the others thought about it, with the current prestige of Shiziling, there are indeed not many people who dare to mess around.
Besides, the Nangong family is one of the five great families in the United Kingdom after all, and their strength will not be weakened much because of Nangong Xia's serious injury, and I am afraid that there will not be too many people who really dare to go against the Nangong family.
Shi Ziling said with a smile: "Yu Wei still has confidence in me, after I leave, if you have something, you can discuss it with Ma Yu more, I have already asked him." In addition, Xiao Hui's strength has improved by leaps and bounds after she recently joined me with double cultivation, and if she needs to work with someone, maybe she can help. ”
Yu Wei said: "By the way, you seem to have mentioned last time that the current Xiaohui is the strongest person in the Yu family besides you, and I don't know if Lu Dao is true." ”
Yu Zhengmiao was surprised: "Xiao Hui grew up with Yulan since she was a child, she has always made slow progress in martial arts, how could she suddenly become so strong, aren't you kidding?"
Shi Ziling said: "Xiao Hui's physique is special, I have opened up the second vein of Ren Du for her, her current strength may not be as good as Ma Yu for the time being, but it should not be far behind." ”
At this time, everyone in the Yu family was taken aback, thinking that even if Xiaohui really made progress recently, at most she could only be close to the level of Niu Zhengying or Yu Yulan, which was amazing enough, but I didn't expect Shi Ziling to say that she could reach the level of Ma Yu.
Ma Yu is the son of Ma Dai, who is guarding Ma Dai, and has always been a master among the younger generations in Songhu City, and Xiao Hui can be compared with Ma Yu, that is, far more than Niu Zhengying.
Niu Zhengying shook his head and sighed: "Ziling does have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, I saw Xiaohui in the backyard a few days ago, and I do feel that the aura exuded by her body is very different from before, and the expression between the eyebrows is quite similar to Ziling, but I didn't expect her to have progressed to the point where she has progressed." ”
"In this way, the Yu family has another master, which is really gratifying!"
Yu Zhengmiao said: "Ziling, that magnolia...... She wondered if Lu Dao could also make progress like Xiao Hui?"
Shi Ziling understood what Yu Zhengmiao meant, he was worried that he would favor Xiao Hui too much and snub Yu Yulan.
Shi Ziling hurriedly said: "Miss Yulan's 'Pure Heart Formula' that she is cultivating now can't be arrogant before she is practiced, as long as it takes a while, after her 'Pure Heart Formula' is completed, she will be able to join me in double cultivation like Xiao Hui, and then I will definitely be able to open up her second pulse of Ren Du." ”
"In the future, if you only talk about the growth of Zhenyuan cultivation, Miss Yulan's potential will definitely be above Xiao Hui. ”
Yu Zhengmiao was overjoyed when he heard this, although Xiaohui and Yu Yulan grew up together and became sisters, but as a father, he always hoped that his daughter could get more favor from Shi Ziling, and he finally relieved himself when he heard Shi Ziling say this.
Yu Wei said: "Ziling, don't just take care of your two future wives, when will you help us get through the second line of Rendu, I also want to taste the taste of being a master......
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Niu Zhengying scolded with a smile: "Their young husband and wife can only get through the second vein of Rendu by combining their dual cultivation, what are you messing with!"
Yu Wei said aggrievedly: "Can't it? Then Ziling has to think of a way so that we can also make progress!"
Shi Ziling said with a smile: "Yu Wei, don't worry, I thought of a mental method during my retreat a few days ago, although it was created for my own situation, but I believe that the method of expanding the meridians to improve the storage of true yuan should also be useful to you." ”
"I want to give this method to Miss Yulan and Xiaohui first, and when they learn it, then let Yulan draw an atlas of the parts that are useful to you and pass them on to you. I believe that if you cultivate according to the law, it will definitely be of great benefit to the cultivation of the True Yuan. ”
Now everyone was pleasantly surprised, the mind taught by Shi Ziling, a great master, must not be comparable to the general martial arts mind, although everyone did not dare to expect to become a master by leaps and bounds like Xiao Hui, but it is still very promising to greatly improve their strength.
Niu Zhengying hurriedly asked, "I wonder if this mental method is also useful to me, an old man?"
Shi Ziling said affirmatively: "Don't worry, Elder Niu, I believe that this mental method will also be helpful to your true yuan expansion." You have a deep foundation in martial arts, and you can only learn it faster. ”
Niu Zhengying was overjoyed when she heard this, and stroked her beard with a smile and smiled. He has absolute confidence in Shi Ziling, and he knows that Shi Ziling is not a person who talks casually. Since Shi Ziling said so, it will definitely be realized. I didn't expect that I was a lot older, and I still had the opportunity to go further in martial arts.
Since Shi Ziling was going to leave tomorrow, everyone didn't dare to delay him for too long, so they let him go to the backyard to say goodbye to Yu Yulan and Xiaohui.
Yu Yulan and Xiao Hui hadn't seen Shi Ziling for many days, and they were very happy to see him coming, and when they heard that Shi Ziling was about to leave Songhu City for the south, they both felt very lost.
Xiao Hui grabbed Shi Ziling's arm and said, "Childe, we haven't seen you for several days, why did you say that you were going to go so far as soon as you came back, Xiao Hui didn't want you to go." ”
Yu Yulan said: "There is no way for the son to have a heavy responsibility, if you are reluctant to let him go, just accompany the son, and you can take good care of the child's diet and daily life on the road." ”
When Xiaohui heard this, she immediately smiled, clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go with my son, is my son okay?"
Of course, Shi Ziling also hoped that Xiao Hui could be by his side, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and refused.
He said: "I have a long way to go to Narcissus City this time, and I have brought Nangong Xia, a person who has not recovered from serious injuries, and there are many officers and soldiers with me. Xiaohui is a girl after all, and it's always inappropriate to go along. Besides, if someone finds trouble with the Yu family, Xiaohui's current strength can always help. ”
When Xiao Hui heard that she couldn't go with Shi Ziling, she couldn't help but feel down, and said: "Then son, you have to go early and come back early, Xiao Hui will be looking forward to your early return every day at home." ”
Shi Ziling then talked about the conversation with Nangong Xia a few days ago and the matter of meeting the black-clothed man and Kong Mingzi of the Huang Ting faction later, of course, he didn't dare to mention his ridiculous night with Su Fengxian and Xiaohong in Deyue Tower, so as not to make the two women unhappy.
The two girls were very surprised when they heard that the whereabouts of the "Nine Yuan Customs Clearance" diagram had appeared again.
Yu Yulan said: "In this way, Nangong Xia should have a diagram of 'Nine Yuan Clearance', I guess it may be that after the 'Dead Night Gate' escaped to Dongli Island in the early years, the Nangong family gave them financial and material help, so that they could gain a foothold on Dongli Island, so that they got a diagram." ”
And this duel between Li Xiaoyao and Nangong Bo is also likely to be a way for the Li family and the Nangong family to discuss the fight for their respective customs clearance diagrams, because the stakes are very high, no wonder Nangong Xia is in a hurry to rush back. ”
Xiao Hui asked, "Since that Kongmingzi is a famous killer of the 'Dark Path', why didn't Childe simply kill him, but save him?"
Shi Ziling said: "Kong Mingzi is just a murderous weapon that uses money to do things for others, in fact, he himself has no grudge against me. Although those of us who practice martial arts will inevitably fight and kill, it is always better to save people than to kill people, and it is better to kill less or kill less. ”
"Ku Mingzi said that he was disheartened and planned to wash his hands, and if he can get rid of his career as a killer, it will be considered a merit for me. What's more, he also told me a lot of useful information, such as what Jade Buddha Temple can be exchanged for a diagram with that jade pendant. ”
Yu Yulan said: "I know the Jade Buddha Temple, it is just outside the Narcissus City in the south, not far from Hengshan, the son can go here to see if he can have the opportunity to use that jade pendant to exchange the illustration." ”
Xiao Hui said: "By the way, I will also snatch the share on Nangong Xia's body, anyway, this old fox also wants to inquire about the whereabouts of the illustration from Gongzi." Childe, you are his savior, so it should be better for him to repay your kindness. ”
Yu Yulan smiled: "How can this be." The Nangong family is an ally of our Songhu City, how can Gongzi rob him of his things!"
"What's more, there are nine diagrams of the 'Nine Yuan Clearance', and if you act rashly before you are sure of collecting all the diagrams, you will only expose yourself to the attention of the heroes, and if you attract the siege of various factions, it will be too much to lose. ”
Shi Ziling said approvingly: "Yulan is right, even if I exchange the jade pendant for one illustration, plus the original three copies in my hand, there are only four copies, and I am still far from collecting nine illustrations." ”
"Fortunately, now that we have a preliminary understanding of the whereabouts of the illustration, we will be able to act on the opportunity in the future. Whether this illustrated legend is true or false has never been confirmed, and perhaps even if you collect nine playthrough diagrams, it is not as magical as the legend. ”
"Wouldn't it be ridiculous if we were in a hurry to shout and kill for the illustration right now?"
Xiao Hui said: "I think the legend should be true, and it was only after I practiced the 'Soul Dementor **' that I realized that there was such a wonderful ** in the world, but I didn't even dare to think about it before." ”
"It can be inferred from this that the legend of 'the unity of heaven and man, transcendent sanctification' is not impossible. ”
"Although we can't understand the content of the diagram now, maybe we can understand it by combining the nine diagrams?
Yu Yulan said to Xiao Hui: "I think you are fascinated by practicing this 'soul dementor**', so be careful to fall into the devil." After Childe goes on a long journey, you are the strongest master in the family, and you can't be as reckless as before in the future. ”
Xiao Hui had to stick out her tongue when she heard this, although her current strength has surpassed Yu Yulan by a lot, she still listens to this young lady's words.
Shi Ziling took out the "Shadowless Rainstorm Needle" from the black-clothed man of the Huang Ting Sect from his arms and handed it to Yu Yulan, and said, "Yulan, your 'Pure Heart Technique' has not yet been cultivated, and you can't double cultivate with me for the time being, so you can't quickly increase your strength. This hidden weapon will be used for your self-defense. That way, I'll feel more at ease when I'm away from home. ”
Yu Yulan's cheeks were crimson, but her heart was sweet. She took the hidden weapon and took a closer look, and couldn't help but be surprised: "This thing, is it actually the legendary big killer weapon 'Shadowless Rainstorm Needle'?"
Xiao Hui felt curious, took the 'Shadowless Rainstorm Needle' from Yu Yulan's hand, and said, "The name of this thing is quite scary, is it more powerful than the two serial crossbows that Gongzi gave us last time?"
Yu Yulan said: "Although those two chain crossbows are very powerful, if they are compared to the 'Shadowless Rainstorm Needle', they are really not worth mentioning. I've heard Master say that the 'Shadowless Rainstorm Needle' is the most powerful secret weapon in the world, and even the top masters are a little afraid in front of this hidden weapon. ”
"It's just that it's extremely rare, and only five tubes have been made in total, and I've heard that two or three tubes have been used, so it's all the more precious. ”
Shi Ziling said: "This is indeed the 'Shadowless Rainstorm Needle', I have confirmed it with the Dark Messenger Kong Mingzi, and I myself have also learned its power, and it is indeed very powerful. If it weren't for the spiritual sense composed of the magic and spiritual power in my body that gave me a warning in advance, I am afraid that I would have been shot into a hedgehog by this hidden weapon. ”
"With this hidden weapon for self-defense, I'm much more relieved. ”
Yu Yulan happily put away the "Shadowless Rainstorm Needle" and said, "In the past few days, Xiaohui and I have sewed a few clothes for Son, Childe will try to see if it fits." ”
Saying that, the two went to bring a few sets of carefully sewn clothes for Shi Ziling to try on, although Shi Ziling was not too particular about dressing, but he was also very happy in the face of the hearts of the two beloved beauties.
The three of them were trying on clothes, talking and laughing, and they had a good time......
