Volume 1: Red Flame Xuancao Chapter 3: Demon Pattern
Xue Ning thought that she had heard it wrong, Xiao Chengfeng was actually comforting her? The sun is coming out in the west?
She looked at him in surprise, and was stunned for a long time, not knowing how to answer his words.
Xiao Chengfeng said again: "I have asked Liuying and Li Yan to keep the matter of the physical examination secret, you don't have to have a psychological burden." ”
A girl was forced to undergo a physical examination, if it was spread out really bad, he didn't stop it in time, it was all caused by his prejudice against her, and now I think about it is really inappropriate.
It was the first time Xue Ning had seen Xiao Chengfeng talk to her in such a soft tone, which made her unaccustomed to it.
It seems that the grievances she played just now still played a role, and it actually made Xiao Chengfeng's heart soften.
Did this guy eat soft instead of hard?
Xue Ning seemed to have discovered something interesting, and smiled secretly in her heart.
Softened his voice a little, and squeezed out a sentence more and more obediently, "Uncle Xie is considerate." ”
Seeing that Xue Ning didn't seem to be angry, nor did he glare at him as usual, Xiao Chengfeng's eyes were a little more gentle, but his face was still as calm and cold as ever.
"Okay, you don't have to send it, let's go back."
Xiao Chengfeng took his eyes off her and turned to leave.
"Uncle Shi walks slowly."
Xue Ning saw that his figure had disappeared outside the hall, and slowly straightened up, feeling emotion in his heart.
This is probably the calmest conversation between her and Xiao Chengfeng.
When the two met, it wasn't a needle-to-needle for Mai Mang, and they couldn't wait to strangle each other to death.
said such a friendly goodbye today, and I don't know if she was sick or Xiao Chengfeng was abnormal.
Back in the dormitory, Lin Ziqing leaned on the head of the bed and his face was a little pale, thinking that it was the sequelae of the drug, he gently closed his eyes and eased for a while.
Xue Ning stood on the side of the bed and looked at Lin Ziqing quietly, his gaze swept over his face inch by inch, as if he had been missing it for a long time, and he couldn't help but wet his eyes.
She never thought she would see him again.
She remembered that after Shizun died, she brought his body back to the Paradise Sect and carefully preserved it in an ice coffin, and would go to see him every day and talk to him.
But Shizun will never call her "Ah Ning" again, he just fell asleep quietly, and there was no more temperature on his body.
Now that the living master was in front of her, she couldn't help but scream excitedly.
"Master ......"
Lin Ziqing raised his eyes slightly when he heard Xue Ning's voice, turned his head to look at her, and found that his little apprentice had red eyes, and couldn't help frowning.
"Ah Ning, what's wrong? Why are you crying? ”
Xue Ning stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed, held Lin Ziqing's hand, and whimpered and spoke: "Master, I'm sorry, it's useless!" ”
It was the fugitive who caused you to die tragically, and it was the futile who didn't protect you!
Lin Ziqing thought that she blamed herself for not finding the person who gave the drug, raised her hand and touched her head, and said softly: "Isn't it okay to be a teacher?" Wipe away your tears, such a big person, still crying. ”
Knowing that Lin Ziqing must have misunderstood her words, Xue Ning didn't explain, raised her sleeve and wiped her tears, and smiled stupidly at him.
The drugging thing finally passed without danger, and Xue Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
She didn't relax because of this, after all, Xiao Chengfeng's guy was still there, and she had to guard against it!
He wanted to drive her out of Shushan anytime and anywhere, and he was sure that he would find other reasons in the future.
Sometimes Xue Ning wondered if she should find a chance to get rid of Xiao Chengfeng, so that no one could threaten her.
This idea only appeared once, and it was vetoed by Xue Ning.
She doesn't have magic skills on her now, and it's even more difficult to kill him, and if she fails, won't she have to be cramped by him again?
Before finding a safer way, Xue Ning decided to be a little disciple honestly, as long as she could be by her master's side every day, she would be content.
Xue Ning has had a rare nightmare in the past few days, perhaps because she had done too many sins in her previous life, and when she returned to Shushan again, she always felt that there were unjust souls everywhere who came to her to ask for her life.
Obviously she has been reborn, but Xue Ning still doesn't sleep very well.
Especially Xiao Chengfeng's blood-ridden eyes before he died, they appeared back and forth in her mind, disturbing her uneasy.
When she woke up at night, Xue Ning felt a faint pain in her heart, lit the lamp, and looked at her clothes.
only to see a blood-red flame pattern looming under the collarbone.
How so? The demonic nature in her body has awakened in advance!
In her previous life, she was forced to awaken her demonic nature because her cultivation was abolished, and her resentment and hatred devoured her brain.
Now that she has a quiet life, and there is nothing sad to stimulate her, why is it ahead of schedule?
Could it be because her meridians in this life have not been damaged?
Xue Ning was confused, she always felt uneasy, she immediately got up to breathe, forcibly pressed back the magic pattern in her heart, straightened out the scattered clothes, and got into the quilt.
This matter must not be known to others, once the identity of her demon clan is revealed, her days in Shushan will come to an end.
On the second day, Aunt Liuying began to teach them the art of swordsmanship, which was also a compulsory course for all monks to enter the Sword Immortal.
As a monk who has lived two lifetimes, it stands to reason that the art of swordsman should be easy to learn.
But today, the magic pattern on his chest has been stirring, affecting Xue Ning's performance.
The aura in his body seemed to be suppressed by the magic pattern, and he couldn't even use his sword.
What's going on? Xue Ning felt bad, and always felt that something was wrong with her body.
The surrounding disciples urged their spiritual power one by one, pinched the sword technique, and suspended the sword in the air.
Even the most unqualified disciples gradually did it.
But Xue Ning's sword was still motionless.
Li Yan saw that Xue Ning had studied for a long time, but it had no effect at all, so he laughed sarcastically.
"I'm still a disciple of the master, I can't even learn the sword technique, I'm laughing to death!"
Last time, because of Xue Ning, she was whipped for no reason, and her buttocks took off a layer of skin, and she looked at Xue Ning more and more unpleasantly.
Seeing that Xue Ning couldn't learn, he couldn't help but feel refreshed.
The surrounding disciples all turned their heads to look at Xue Ning, and they exchanged heads one by one.
"Xue Ning, what's wrong? Won't you know how to use swordsmanship? ”
"Didn't you say she had a good aptitude?"
"The head of the house won't be blind, right?"
"Shame on the dead!"
Liuying immediately frowned and reprimanded: "Hurry up and practice the sword, what are you muttering?" ”
The disciples snickered twice, and then put their minds on sword practice.
Xue Ning didn't take those harsh words to heart at all, and concentrated on learning the sword technique.
Cold sweat overflowed on his forehead.
The magic pattern would actually affect her cultivation, if so, how would she practice the fairy sword in the future? How to get stronger?
Xue Ning was annoyed in his heart, took a deep breath, and forcefully released the aura in his body, wanting to break through the shackles of the demon pattern.
Seeing that the sword in front of him was about to fly, there was a sudden dull pain in his heart, the magic pattern burned like fire, and the hand holding the sword trick suddenly lost control.
The fairy sword rushed into the air like an electric shock, slamming Li Yan's sword light down, and disappeared like a headless fly.
The sword was knocked off, and Li Yan was about to reprimand her, but when she saw her sword fly away by itself, she couldn't help but smile mockingly.
"Hahahaha! Good guys, you're gone with swords! Xue Ning, you really have the ability! ”
Xue Ningheng didn't speak for a glance, and looked at her trembling palms in a daze.
The demonic nature in her body has actually come out! It also overshadowed her spiritual power!
Seeing that she was a little frustrated, Liuying stepped forward and comforted: "It's okay, the sword was like this at the beginning, just practice more, go and pick up the sword." ”
Ryuyoung doesn't seem to have noticed her anomaly yet, and thinks she's the result of being unskilled.
"Then the disciple will go back as soon as he goes." Xue Ning immediately turned around and left.
Li Yan stared at the back of her leaving, and was extremely proud, it seemed that she was more talented than herself!
Xue Ning searched all the way in the direction where the sword disappeared, and finally found it in a strange courtyard.
A large green bamboo forest towers around the temple, the bamboo body is beautiful and straight, the leaves are thin and dense, the surrounding is extremely quiet, and the air is cool.
Xue Ning stood at the gate and looked around, only to find that there were a few big characters written on the plaque.
"Qingxuan Palace", when he saw these three words, Xue Ning was stunned.
Although I haven't been here, I've heard that this seems to be Xiao Chengfeng's dormitory.
Xiao Chengfeng has a bad temper, he always has a straight face when he speaks, and his tone is impersonal.
In Shushan, all the disciples had to take a detour when they saw him, not to mention his dormitory.
In addition, he was the only one among the five elders who did not accept disciples, so he lived alone in the courtyard, and he couldn't even see a little disciple.
Sometimes Xue Ning felt that Xiao Chengfeng was very boring, and he didn't know how he had come over for thousands of years.
After searching all around, only his Qingxuan Hall was not found, Xue Ning thought about it and decided to go in and have a look.
Stepping into the courtyard, I was greeted by several stone benches and stone tables, on which a set of celadon tea sets were placed, and an ancient book spread out, the yellowed pages of the book were flipped back and forth in the breeze.
The door of the dormitory was closed and unlocked, and a wind chime hung from the corner of the eaves, which made a crisp sound from time to time.
Although there were no disciples to clean it, the courtyard was unusually clean, and even the gravel road under his feet was slippery.
Xue Ning walked to the stone table, lowered his eyes and looked at the book, picked it up and read it curiously.
"Soul Returning Jasper Pill, five taels of heavenly herbs, two drops of yellow sand dew, one broken vein mushroom, what a thing!" Xue Ning pursed the corners of her lips.
Xiao Chengfeng is really boring, and the books he reads are all about this kind of alchemy and medicine.
Xue Ning has always disliked reading, especially this kind of reference book, she flipped it twice at random, and then put the book back.
She swayed around again, and finally saw her sword in the flower garden in the backyard, stuck straight in the dirt, shining brightly in the sunlight.
Finally found it, she was about to draw the sword, but saw that the sword was inserted in the flower pole, the flower was cut by the sword, lying alone on the ground, the bright red petals were still stained with the morning dew, looking like crying.
The more Xue Ning looked at the flower, the more familiar it became, picked it up from the ground and looked at it carefully, and suddenly remembered the pattern he had just seen in the book.
"Red Flame Xuancao?" Xue Ning muttered.
"What are you doing!"
A sudden low roar startled Xue Ning, and the flower in his hand fell to the ground all of a sudden.
She turned around abruptly and saw Xiao Chengfeng standing not far away.
Xiao Chengfeng stared at the red flame grass on the ground, his eyes jumped suddenly, and a strong anger surged into his heart.
Sensing that Xiao Chengfeng's expression was wrong, Xue Ning immediately became nervous.
Xiao Chengfeng was so anxious that he flashed in an instant, came to the flower garden, and looked at the red flame Xuancao broken in the soil, and the whole person was stunned in place.
Xue Ning twisted her eyebrows and didn't dare to speak.
Xiao Chengfeng looked at the sword inserted in the soil, his heart rose and fell, and his anger surged up all of a sudden, he glanced sideways at Xue Ning, his eyes were scarlet.
"You did it?"
Xue Ning replied with a pale face: "I didn't mean to...... I. ”
The murderous aura suddenly poured out of his chest, Xiao Chengfeng didn't want to hear her explanation at all, so he suddenly pulled out his sword and stabbed Xue Ning's neck.
Xue Ning was so frightened that she took a step back, staring at the tip of the sword that was close at hand, and a cold sweat broke out on her back.
Almost, if Xiao Chengfeng went one more inch, the sword would stab her throat.
"Uncle Shi......" Xue Ning exclaimed in a trembling voice, his eyes overflowing with panic.
