Chapter 682: A Strange Situation
I don't know how long it took, Xiao Ning finally recovered from the previous consumption, he himself did not suffer any serious injuries, at most, there was only a slight shock injury in his body, and he had the self-healing ability of the immortal cicada, even if he didn't care about it, he would get better quickly.

Therefore, Xiao Ning spent most of his time recovering his physical strength and true yuan, as well as summing up his experience after the war.
Slowly opening his eyes, the first thing Xiao Ning saw was a pair of big watery eyes and a delicate and immature lovely face.
"Big brother, are you awake?"
Shishi showed a sweet smile, and there seemed to be a touch of eagerness and anticipation in her eyes.
Xiao Ning didn't speak immediately, but looked around first.
As soon as he came back, he had been sitting in the hut meditating, and by this time it was already dark, and most of the children in the hut were asleep, only a few were still whispering and chatting, and there seemed to be no tension.
Obviously, after these few days, they have calmed down a lot, according to Xiao Ning's estimate, Shenyang should tell them the news of the destruction of the Tianzun Sect, and these children are also a lot more relieved to know that they will be able to go home soon.
As for Xi Feng and Shen Yang, they also stayed in the wooden shed, sitting quietly aside, not knowing what they were thinking, but only after hearing Shishi's mouth open, they turned their eyes.
first showed an apologetic smile to Xi Feng and the others, then patted Shishi's little head, and asked with a smile, "Did you encounter any difficulties in cultivation?"
A trace of surprise flashed on the faces of Xi Feng and Shen Yang, and they were all wondering whether Xiao Ning had accepted the apprentice? But no matter how they looked at it, they couldn't see that this little girl had any powerful talent.
Shishi nodded, pouted and said, "Big brother, Shishi is sure that she is doing exactly what you said, but after so many days, I haven't been able to sense the flow of energy in my body?"
Xi Feng and the others, who were listening, couldn't help laughing, and Xiao Ning also smiled dumbly: "Didn't I tell you at the beginning, you can't be in a hurry about cultivation, you have never cultivated before, if you want to sense the meridians, you have to hold on for at least a month to be possible." During this time, you focus on the application of the sword, and when you become proficient, you will slowly improve your cultivation. ”
Shishi nodded obediently, and then said, "Actually, I have been practicing quietly in the past few days. ”
Looking at the cunning look in her eyes, Xiao Ning realized that there was nothing wrong with this little girl at all, just because she hadn't seen her for a few days and wanted to talk to herself.
Although he didn't resist this feeling, he couldn't leave Xi Feng aside, so he rubbed Shishi's head again and said, "No matter what, as long as you work hard, you will definitely gain something, even if you don't meet the expected expectations, at least you can make you better than others, I believe you will definitely not let me down." ”
"Okay, you go back to sleep first, my brother still has something to do, and we'll have a good talk tomorrow." ”
Seeing that Xiao Ning had chased her, although Shishi was a little displeased, she didn't say much, she still looked well-behaved.
"I really didn't expect that the elder of the Tianlong Inner Courtyard would be so gentle to an ordinary little girl. ”
After Shishi left, Xi Feng came over, and his first sentence was to tease him.
Xiao Ning shook her head helplessly, looked at Shishi's departing back, and said: "This girl's heart is very in line with the way of cultivation, and I am just following the water, anyway, I left here, it is hard to say whether I can meet it in the future, everything depends on herself." ”
Although Xiao Ning didn't answer Xi Feng's words, he also explained in disguise why he taught her to cultivate.
Xi Feng obviously had no interest in this matter, and Xiao Ning had no intention of continuing, so he took out the Qingling wine and poured a glass for Xi Feng and Shen Yang.
The three of them sat around the wooden table in the middle, tasting Xiao Ning's own Qingling wine, and talking while the atmosphere was also very harmonious.
From Xi Feng, Xiao Ning learned that he had reported the situation here, and when Amethyst City sent a disciple to come, he would be able to send those children back to their respective homes.
In other words, Xiao Ning doesn't have to worry about things here, he can leave at any time.
The next day, Xiao Ning fulfilled his promise, had a good time with Shishi, and personally sent her home.
Before parting, Shishi was reluctant to give up on him, forced tears to say goodbye, and cried bitterly when Xiao Ning left.
Although they haven't known each other for a long time, and they haven't been in contact for a long time, in Shishi's heart, Xiao Ning is really like her big brother, gentle and kind, and she may not see her again after knowing it, and her heart is full of sadness.
Xiao Ning also felt the same way in his heart, but after all, he had experienced so much, and his heart had already been honed to be as solid as a rock, but he was only slightly emotional.
In the middle of summer, it is a hot season for the people, and even if they don't do anything big, it is enough to make them sweat.
The scorching sun hung high in the sky, blazing the ground, making every passer-by dizzy and complaining in a low voice.
Yunmeng City is located at the junction of a primeval forest and thousands of miles of continuous mountains in the southern cultivation realm, the geographical location here is special, although the transportation is inconvenient, but there are jungle mountains on the left and right, there are many demon beasts, and the edge is mainly low-level, attracting many adventurous hunters.
The scale of Yunmeng City is not small, the entire city is dozens of kilometers deep, and there are dragons and snakes in it, all kinds of civilian swordsmen, and civil forces are intricate, competing for various resources.
There are really not many towns like this in the cultivation realm, and it is not easy for the forces that can gain a foothold in Yunmeng City, if they go outside, each force is enough to occupy a large territory.
However, Yunmeng City is rich in resources, and even if it only occupies a small corner here, it will gain much more than ruling a small town.
Due to the distance between this place and the Central Plains, even if the aura is sufficient, the real swordsman forces do not want to come here, and those second-rate forces, it is almost impossible to rule the entire town, if they are allowed to compete with those forces that are not in the stream, but they are proud of their status.
Therefore, although Yunmeng City has mixed forces, there are not many real masters, and the highest is only gold, which is completely incomparable with the powerhouses from the sect.
However, the cultivation of the gold level is already a god-like existence among the civilians, which is enough to make anyone look up, after all, most of the civilian swordsmen are still bronze strength, and there are very few who can reach silver.
Xiao Ning walked on the streets of Yunmeng City, looking at the flow of people coming and going and the people trading in the shops on both sides, his brows frowned slightly.
"Boss, this thing looks good, how did you sell it?"
"You have a really good eye, this is tempered with high-quality pig iron, the degree of wear resistance is very high, even if you use it often, it will not be damaged for a year and a half, the price is marked above, well, the price is ten gold coins. ”
The prices in Yunmeng City were indeed very high, and in Xiao Ning's memory, similar goods in other cities were sold for six or seven gold coins at most, and the things here were almost twice as expensive as those in other places.
However, this is not what Xiao Ning cares about, the reason why he frowned all the way is because ......
"It's really good, the price is fair, it's exactly ten gold coins here, you can count it." ”
"Ten gold coins, well, okay, this is the item you want, please keep it. Also, here are the two gold coins that are looking for you. ”
"Boss, I got it wrong, I want that piece of pig iron forged, why are you giving me copper? And didn't you just say ten gold coins? Why are you still looking for it?"
"Oh, yes, I'm sorry, guest, wait a minute, I'll build it for you right away, and I'll be able to come and get it in three days. ”
“...... , forget it, you better pay me back, I'll go elsewhere. ”
"Okay, that's ten gold coins, and the pig iron you wanted. ”
“......”
Since stepping into Yunmeng City, similar small mistakes have been staged, and the people in the city have been in a trance, although there will be no big chaos, but small mistakes have continued. Everyone is lethargic and listless.
The guy who bought the thing just now was also wonderful, and in the end he kept the money and took away the goods that he had already given up buying.
In fact, the price of the thing was marked with fifteen gold coins, and he still earned it.
"This matter should be related to the three-day sleep that Brother Xi Feng said. ”
Xiao Ning thought secretly in his heart, but this matter still had to be investigated carefully, and he didn't notice any demonic energy before entering the city.
Before coming here, Xiao Ning had heard Xi Feng roughly mention that the people of the entire city had been asleep for three days for unknown reasons, maybe it had something to do with the demons, because this area belonged to the sphere of influence of Tianlong City, and telling Xiao Ning this information could be regarded as a little kindness.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly sensed that someone was slamming into him, and the force was not small.
Although Xiao Ning was distracted and didn't notice it, he was a swordsman who was not weak in cultivation after all, and the other party was not a strong person, so he just let it go with a slight sideways.
It was a young man, about twenty years old, who was supposed to be a member of some hunter regiment, and he didn't know what to do in a hurry, and he looked like he was in a hurry.
There were too many people around, and his vision was blocked just now, so he didn't find Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning suddenly got out of the way, causing him to stumble and almost fall to the ground, but his body was still very good, and he turned around and unloaded his strength, so he could stand firm.
"You don't have long eyes!" The young man had a lot of temper, and scolded Xiao Ning as soon as he turned around.
Xiao Ning frowned, and was about to say something, but the other party was suddenly stunned, patted his forehead, and said, "I'm sorry, it seems that I was wrong just now, sorry, sorry." ”
As he spoke, he turned and hurried forward.
Xiao Ning shook his head helplessly, and suddenly someone in the crowd grabbed the young man and said, "Long Mao, what do you want to do in such a hurry?
When he said this, everyone else around him burst into laughter.
The young man who was called Long Mao said angrily: "You can't think about it, I don't know how many things have not been done, how can I have the spare time to jump into the river." ”
"Come on, who doesn't know that you are idle every day, how can you be busy. Why don't you tell everyone why you're in such a hurry?"
