The sycamore falls very quietly, and occasionally a few dog barks sound, echoing in the doorway of the autumn night.

The nearby residents, who had already worked hard all day, had fallen asleep sweetly at the moment, and occasionally the faint light of lanterns swayed in the bleak autumn wind.

Ding Ning walked into his bedroom in the deepest courtyard.

The eldest grandson Qianxue appeared behind Ding Ning, her brows frowned slightly, her eyes fell on Ding Ning's chest, and she sensed the changes in the qi of the five internal organs that were completely different from before.

"The Aries Cave has a method to solve my premature aging disease, and the effect is immediate, so that the five qi have been controlled."

Although he was very worried about the people who were secretly following Yunshui Palace by the eldest grandson Qianxue, and felt that the risk was too great, Ding Ning was still quite happy when he thought of today's major gains, and said sincerely: "The degree to which this exercise matches the Nine Dead Silkworms is definitely not under the 'Continuation of the Heaven Divine Technique'. ”

"It's not under the 'Continuation of the Heavenly Divine Formula', that is, it can replace its role." The eldest grandson, Qianxue, was silent for a moment and said, "So you no longer need to participate in the Minshan Sword Meeting. ”

Ding Ning nodded.

"That way, you're planning a lot ahead." Eldest Sun Qianxue's mood was obviously much better, and said: "As long as we capture the Lonely Mountain Sword Treasure, you and I can leave Changling and get out of the sight of those princes and leaders." ”

Just like Mr. Zhao Si of the Sword Furnace and Bai Shanshui of Yunshui Palace, they gave up their identity and household registration and became the "great rebellion" in the eyes of the Great Qin Dynasty, silently cultivating to the peak of the Seven Realms, and even entering the Eight Realms, and then killing back.

"It's not that simple." Ding Ning replied seriously: "Under the current situation, if you want to obtain the Gushan Sword Treasure, it is actually difficult to succeed, the key is not to let it fall into the hands of Yuan Wu and Zheng Sleeve. ”

"There's something more important."

"The Big Floating Prison."

"The Big Floating Prison?" The eldest grandson Qianxue was slightly stunned, and said coldly: "You want to save Lin Cooking." ”

Qin annihilated the Three Dynasties, and the Bashan Sword Field was recognized as the strongest sect in the world. And Lin Zhujiu is the No. 2 person in Bashan Sword Field, recognized as the first military division in the world, recognized as the smartest person, and his prestige has far surpassed that of Yuan Wu and Zheng Sleeve and others.

In those days, there were even many people who directly called him the "Great Qin Military Division", although his strength was not as good as Yan Xinlan, Mo Bieli, Li Guanlan, etc., but in the eyes of other dynasties, the threat was above others, second only to Wang Jingmeng, the "sword leader in the world".

After the strongest swords in the Bashan Sword Field were broken and the entire faction was exterminated, in the eyes of almost everyone, Lin Zhujiu, who was not very strong, should have died long ago.

However, according to the news that Ding Ning got a few days ago, Lin Zhuanjiu was still alive, and was imprisoned in the most heavily guarded floating water prison in Changling, and was imprisoned for many years in that dark water prison, smelling the rotten smell on his body and lingering.

Over the years, Zheng Sleeve, Yan Xiang and others have been trying to squeeze out the secrets of those people from Lin Zhujiu's mouth.

As a recognized military advisor among those people in Bashan Sword Field, many things are arranged by Lin Zhuanjiu, even if in the end, because of the death of that person, the betrayal of many people has caused everything to become a mess and cannot be controlled.

But everyone was convinced that he must have controlled something and left something behind those people.

He is a treasure in his own right.

Even if nothing was found after years of interrogation and torture, the life of Lin Zhujiu could be used to lure out the remnants of the Bashan Sword Field when needed.

In fact, after learning this important secret, Ding Ning had already decided that even at a huge risk, he would rob the Dashui Prison and rescue the only surviving brother who is currently known.

"If you want to find out the information of the Great Floating Water Prison, you may be able to start from the Mo Qing Palace, which is in charge of this area of the Divine Capital Prison. At the very least, we have to figure out who is in charge of the water dungeon now. ”

Thinking of the hardships that Lin Zhujiu might encounter after the fall, Ding Ning's eyes darkened imperceptibly, and he said to himself: "And in the process of collecting intelligence, you can also try to recover some old debts from Mu Zi back then, and now General Liang Lian. ”

He knew very well that the eldest grandson, Qianxue, didn't care about things outside of cultivation, and told her like this just so that she could make some impressions and make a quick decision when she needed to think about it.

"In the end, even if I want to evacuate Changling, I should plan it without any flaws, so as not to implicate the Aries Cave that has given me great help."

After a pause, Ding Ning added seriously: "Speaking of which, when I left at night, Zhao Qing assigned me a few tasks, mainly for me to act as an intermediary, deliver letters, and make some deals with Wang Taixu's two floors. ”

He took out a transparent crystal talisman from his sleeve that was wrapped in extremely cold aura, and briefly explained: "As a reward, this talisman can release the power of the Five Realms once or twice, and it can be recharged repeatedly. ”

This means that you can let the eldest grandson Qianxue secretly charge and use it many times.

"Then you complete the mission of the Aries Cave first." The eldest grandson Qianxue didn't ask anything in depth, this was a natural agreement between her and Ding Ning over the years.

After being silent for a moment, she said without any emotion: "Now you don't have to control the speed of cultivation to enter the realm, you will soon be able to reach the third realm, or even the fourth realm, then when you walk outside the sycamore, it will be much safer." ”

"To be precise, being in the Aries Cave, which is being guarded by two Seven Realms Grandmasters, and showing a rare cultivation talent, is even more of a guarantee for my safety."

Ding Ning smiled slightly and added, "In the next few days, on the way to speed up the cultivation as much as possible, I have to reformulate our plans. Maybe the Aries Cave can bring us more surprises. ”

"The cooperation between Wang Taixu and Zhao Qing on two floors must also be considered, and more adjustments are needed......

Eldest Sun Qianxue's eyes were very cold, and she finally had no interest in what Ding Ning said, because for her, how to adjust Ding Ning's plan, his cultivation was still too low, and even whether his plan could be achieved or not, it was his business.

She had only one thing in Changling, and that was to catch up with all the cultivators who were ahead of her.

All she has to think about is her sword, her cultivation, she can even go out of this wine shop every day, she is the simplest.

She used to be just as simple.

After some time, after the oil lamp was blown out, the sound of silkworms sounded in the darkness.

The sound of silkworms became more and more dense, but not the sound of gnawing on mulberry leaves, but the sound of countless rustling, as if spinning silk.

Ding Ning's body began to shine with a faint light.

It was as if countless invisible silkworms had crawled to the surface of his body and began to spin silk.

Countless filaments visible to the naked eye formed outside of his body.

Each of these filaments seems to be the true essence of a cultivator above the Three Realms, like a condensate extraction, and it contains powerful power.

It's just unimaginable that the colors of each filament are very mixed, and it looks like a variety of different colors of true elements are spliced together.

The colorful silk shuttled outside Ding Ning's body, gradually forming a huge cocoon.

Ding Ning inside was silent, and it seemed that even his body temperature had disappeared.

……

At the moment when the vast majority of people in Changling had fallen asleep, there was still a faint light in an inconspicuous two-story ancient building in the south of the city.

Beside a few small oil lamps flickering on and off, stood a gray-shirted swordsman with a solemn expression, and opposite him was a thirty-year-old man who was reading a book in the light and looked a little sickly.

This man was wearing a gray cotton robe that looked a little thicker in this weather, and his face was more handsome than most people in Changling, but he seemed to be a little afraid of the cold when he wore a cotton robe that was already too thick, and his figure was a little shrunken.

The corners of his eyes were already wrinkled, and there were wrinkles in the middle of his brow, which made him seem to be thinking about something, if not thinking.

Such a person must have a lot to think about and worry about on weekdays.

He is Wang Taixu, one of the leaders of the Changling market, and the two-story building under his command only occupies a small area in the south of the city on the surface, but secretly he has greater power in the flower building and gambling house.

Ding Ning joined Aries Cave because of his recommendation.

After destroying Jinlin Tang, who ran a caravan and darts business, in one fell swoop last night, and got a share of two percent of the business of Lei Yutang, Wang Taixu and his two-story building have also greatly increased their influence, and in the eyes of the people in Changling City, they have soared into the sky.

However, Wang Taixu himself knew very well that any low-level cultivator, no matter how high he flew, was still too lowly in the eyes of the real magnates in Changling.

Over the years, the two-story building has been mixed in the muddy water at the bottom of the pond, carefully not standing under the door of any nobleman, and not becoming a dog raised by the powerful, so as to better settle down and stand tall.

It's just that when he fell in love with Jin Lin Tang, who secretly took refuge in a certain big man in the army, and with the help of Du Qingjiao in Baiyang Cave, suppressed the counterattack after the other party, the current situation is very different.

In a sense, the two-story building has become a subsidiary force of Aries Cave in Changling City, although in fact it is not the case, it is only a one-time payment of fund-raising to help, but as long as other people think so, it is difficult to make it easier.

"Buy a large number of common flowers and herbs, and post some notices in the streets and alleys of Changling that they can cure old injuries and cure incurable diseases? Is this going to open a medical center? But why act as covertly as possible? ”

"Is that all the Aries Cave wants me to do?" Carefully looking at the documents that Ding Ning had asked the gray-shirted swordsman Jing Demon Sect to bring, Wang Taixu couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart.

In the dim light, he opened a small bag handed over by the Jing Demon Sect and poured out the contents.

It was a crystal clear pearl and a variety of colored gemstones, far beyond Wang Taixu's imagination in value, if it was used in the fish market, it would definitely buy the life of a cultivator like him in the Five Realms.

Although these jewels are just imitations made by Zhao Qing by smelting ore at high temperatures, no one should be able to tell the difference, in fact, it is more likely that they will be sold for a higher price because of their good quality.

In an instant, Wang Taixu's expression became cautious, because such a large amount of tariffs meant that Baiyang Cave's move was by no means a small fight, but really had to work the acquisition of medicinal materials and publicity.

At the same time, they suddenly found that the inside of this small bag was actually engraved with a few lines of deeply hidden small characters.

There is no doubt that this should be a more secret instruction from the Aries Cave, and it is strictly forbidden to leak out:

Under the cover of the first two things, without attracting anyone's attention, the specific addresses of all the florists in Changling were collected, and a message was published in many notices that the sword wound on the face could be cured;

There is also someone to contact a worshipper in the Silver Moon Gambling House privately, saying that he is sure to cure his mother's serious illness.

Although he has never personally experienced what the big man has done to the people in the market, Wang Taixu has also heard a lot, and for him, as long as it is not an errand for his brother to die, it is nothing.

After thinking secretly for a moment, he was about to store the prepaid fee, but Wang Taixu suddenly caught a glimpse of the words in the bag distorted and changed into another picture:

In the near future, if you encounter a retaliatory attack by a noble person in the army, you only need to set this bag on fire, and it may be able to set the situation for the battle.

Solemnly put the pearl and gem back into it, and put away the bag closely, Wang Taixu waved his hand to signal the Jing Demon Sect to retreat outside the building, he needed to rest and sleep, and let people gather early tomorrow morning to give some orders for vigilance and precaution.

Looking at the huge mansions in the Changling Tomb, with their towering attics, apparently owned by the magnates, he couldn't help muttering to himself before he walked to the bedroom:

"Although we are weak and have no basis for the small fish and shrimp in the market, if someone really crosses the line, we have the means to fight back."

It was at this time that on the top of an ordinary house near the two-story building, a man in a black shirt with a cold face and no traces of time looked at this ancient building with lights gradually extinguishing from afar, and said with emotion:

"If I can survive this catastrophe, I will not be a small fish and shrimp, but one of the influential figures in Changling, who has the value of cultivation, or can be used by me as a pawn in my revenge plan."

"Sometimes, when you really get into the eyes of big people, what you get is more involuntary and walking on thin ice." The black-shirted man's eyes flashed away, vaguely revealing a piece from the sky, but it covered everything, like the heaviest night.

Although this person is just wearing an ordinary black silk robe, if it is extravagant, there are few people above him in the whole Changling, because this kind of nobility is not only the accumulation of countless years of brocade clothes and jade food, but also the accumulation of countless years of life and death to rob nature.

He is now the leader of the old magnates in Changling, representing the gate valve class that has almost disappeared after the Great Qin Dynasty's reform, and a big man who has not seen the light.

The vast majority of people in Changling don't know about his existence, and even those who know that there are people like him don't know his real name, but they habitually call him "Night Stalker".

Although some of them are not visible, he can still survive well after several bloody storms, so that the Divine Capital Prison and the Heavenly Supervisor cannot find any traces at all, so his cultivation and methods can be imagined.

Almost no one knows that the original origin of the night owl, although it is also one of the old powerful people, but like Wang Taixu, he took the road of the market and the rivers and lakes, and after all kinds of struggles, he gradually became the black moon hanging over the hearts of countless people in Changling.

I don't know why I deliberately came over to take a look at the two-story building, and like Wang Taixu Fangxian, the night owl looked deeply at the mansion of the new magnates of Changling in the distance, and stood for a long time.

Then, a pure black dark sword aura condensed from his side, as if two black wings were spread, spreading his wings and flying, and soon disappeared into the night of Changling.

……

The night faded away, the morning mist faded slightly, and a faint light flew silently from the clouds.

In the absolute silence of the Aries Gorge, all kinds of noises began to appear.

When the sky is not yet transparent, many students of Baiyang Cave have appeared on many mountain roads in Baiyang Gorge.

According to the practice of practitioners, when everything is quiet at night and the body needs to rest, it is a good time to enter meditation and practice the true element, and after sunrise, everything is active, the temperature rises, and the flow of qi and blood becomes vigorous, which is a good time to exercise the body and skills.

Therefore, under the faint light of the sky, some of the Aries Cave students are climbing the steep cliff with weight, some are on the edge of the cliff, spitting and spitting up, using the breathing method to vibrate and strengthen the internal organs, and some are flying in the cold light around their bodies, practicing swordsmanship hard.

It's a beautiful picture of prosperity.

It seems that he also feels it, below the highest small Taoist temple in Baiyang Cave, in a cliff and mountain crack not far away, Zhao Qing slowly stepped out, stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky above, and suddenly the stratus clouds separated, and the sky was suddenly bright, making the entire Baiyang Gorge a little brighter.

And behind her, between the cracks in the mountain that are usually hidden by white clouds, there is a strange flat land.

On the flat ground, there are even three identical cottages.

In front of the grass house, on some muddy flat ground, several vegetable fields have been reclaimed, and they are all planted with mountain leeks.

The layout in the cottage is extremely simple, only a bed by the window, with the simplest bedding.

In front of the bed, however, is a straw futon used for meditation, and in the middle of the rock below the futon, there is a fist-sized spring.

The spring water fluctuates like a boil, slowly releasing wisps of milky white aura from time to time.

Every wisp of aura is like a small white sheep's horn.

This is the best place to practice in Baiyang Cave, and in the grass house, it is the three small spiritual veins that are divided into three.

The aura that comes out of the spiritual veins and enters the practitioner's body along with the practitioner's exhalation, which will play a great tonic role, just like some pills, can increase the progress of cultivation.

But the most important thing is that these auras themselves are the purest products of heaven and earth, without any impurities, and will not have bad side effects like some pills.

However, at the level of moving mountains in the Seven Realms, the amount of breath absorbed by a grandmaster-level figure is too amazing, and such a little pure spiritual energy provided by the miniature spiritual veins can have a very small effect on accelerating the cultivation of the mountain, and it may not be comparable to the high place on the top of the mountain where the vitality circulates rapidly.

Zhao Qing stayed here, naturally not with the help of the spiritual veins here, but with other intentions: to gather a large amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy, repair the destroyed spiritual veins as before, and even make it advanced into medium-sized and large spiritual veins, so as to master its formation principle.

I saw her whole person floating up, sitting directly above the three grass houses, her body seemed to become ethereal, it seemed to be everywhere but there was no trace, as if she had become the embodiment of Baiyang Gorge, constantly absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth in the distance.

The first few rays of sunlight that fell in the early hours of the morning passed straight through Zhao Qing's body, leaving no shadow behind, giving people a strange sense of transparency and etherealism.

Transparent sword light like light and mist continued to hover above her head, splitting and differentiating, rapidly stretching upward, and finally burrowing into the high clouds more than ten miles away, causing a large amount of heaven and earth vitality to be swept in, and gradually transformed into a state like a soft white cloud.

If you look closely at the subtle changes in the sky, you can be surprised to find that many crystal streams between the clouds, like white silk threads, weave extremely complex runic paths, leaving tiny ice crystal gels behind wherever they pass.

Different from the water droplets and ice crystals in the general clouds, after the transformation of the sword qi controlled by Zhao Qingyao, these regular ice crystal clouds are actually a kind of aerogel state of Xuanbing, although the density is low, it is still enough to float in the air, but it has a high strength.

A sea of clouds covering a radius of more than ten miles and several miles thick, although it looks inconspicuous because it is high above the ground, but its actual volume is much larger than the entire Changling City combined, if all the ice gels are completed, it is an extremely cold mountain range hanging in the air.

Not only can Zhao Qing provide her with almost endless cold qi when she needs it, but it can also quickly condense under her sword intent at any time, turning into millions of Xuan Ice Flying Swords, falling rapidly from a high altitude, bursting out with earth-shattering power.

Falling down from the extremely high altitude town, using the powerful swordsmanship of gravity potential energy to increase the lethality, there have been in the cultivation world since ancient times, and now, Gu Huai, the sect leader of the Lingxu Sword Sect, Zhao Jianlu Zhao Si, and Zheng Sha of Jiaodong County, are all good at this way;

The "Sword of Defending the City" of the Confucianism and the "Spark Comet Tail Sword" of Zheng Sleeve can attack enemies from a great distance with their swords, in addition to comprehending the mysteries of space, they should also be quite studied in this regard.

And the clouds that seem to be light, but in fact weigh millions of catties, once condensed into pure Xuan Ice, it is undoubtedly the largest and heaviest sword in the world, surpassing the previous world's first heavy sword "Jianshan Sword", condescending, the power of one blow, invincible.

Because the clouds are everywhere, they are easy to disguise, and they serve as a hole card to turn the tide of the battle at a critical time.

In Zhao Qing's view, the next step in this transformation is to develop it into a huge multi-functional tactical platform, which can be used for everything.

This may not be the largest magic weapon in history, compared to some of the ancient Eight Realms arranged in the Great Array of Sect Protectors, it is much smaller in coverage, but in terms of volume, it is definitely the first in the past.

Yunshui Palace calls for wind and rain, with the ubiquitous clouds in the world as a symbol, and the water potential between heaven and earth as the sword power, in addition to reaching the peak in the way of resisting water, it is also the sect that has the most mastery of cloud changes.

But even the white landscape of Yunshui Palace, if she saw the miracle of this sea of clouds and Zhao Qing's exquisite transformation, she would be amazed, thinking that she surpassed her own ancestors in this regard.

……

Having said all this, after the transformation progress was partially completed, what Zhao Qing originally wanted to do was to assist in absorbing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, input it to the origin of the spiritual veins of the White Aries Cave, and guide the birth of a new underground spiritual energy channel, and observe the repair effect of this move.

However, just as she sensed the subtle changes in the depths of the mountain cracks, she suddenly found that several strange breaths poured out of it, intertwined in a mysterious posture, and soon formed a deep portal that led to nowhere.

As her divine thoughts penetrated into it and passed through a seemingly illusory passage, Zhao Qing was quite surprised to find that there was a silent world in it, which gave her a similar feeling to the original virtual cave sky.

This small world, full of rocks and gravel, maintained a state of absolute silence, devoid of life, lifeless, incomparably desolate, and most striking was the nine huge blue mountains that crossed it, meeting each other in the very center.

"Could it be that this is the sensual stone related to the nine-tailed fox? It actually evolved into the state of a world? Zhao Qing's mind moved slightly, and thousands of brilliant beams of light had already shot into this dim space, spreading wantonly in it, amplifying her perception.

Vaguely, Zhao Qing sensed that across this half-real and half-illusory "Sensual Stone World", there was a new space with real and vitality on the opposite side, and it brought her a strange feeling with different rules.

Perhaps, the other side leads to another world?

Unlike what he expected, Xi Shi did not come to the same world as himself, but under the special connection of the sensory stone structure, he opened up a spatial passage connecting the two worlds?
