Chapter 2: Life and Death

Do you think you are a sister?

Shen Ning smiled self-deprecatingly, he had known Qin Xianhui for so many years, and naturally knew her benefits, how could he not have a heartbeat?

But...... He may die in the demonic era at any timeβ€”it is not appropriate after all.

The white snake hidden in the green shirt seemed to sense Shen Ning's loss, showed his soul, and touched his cheek affectionately.

"I'm going to Nanxiang in two days, and it will take a while to come back." Shen Ning glanced at the small snake with a fiery red pattern on his forehead and a white body, and said lightly: "Tomorrow, I will take you to the Jokhang Temple to see your mother." ”

When the little white snake heard this, he shook his tail and circled around Shen Ning a few times excitedly.

Approaching the Heavenly Master's Mansion, Shen Ning asked the white snake to hide it back in the oil-paper umbrella, and then used Lingyuan to cover its breath, so as not to be detected by the formation in the mansion.

The Heavenly Master's Mansion covers an area of 600 acres, arranged by all kinds of courtyards and courtyards one after another, there are various buildings distributed in the courtyard, the architectural style of the Soviet-style garden, after walking in, the water pavilion and the pavilion are beautifully displayed in front of you.

Along the way, Shen Ning met many familiar brothers, each carrying their bags and preparing to go away to eliminate demons.

After Shen Ning greeted each other, he dispersed on his own.

I don't know how many people will come back alive. Fortunately, the disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion had already taken the matter of eliminating demons as their mission, and no one seemed panicked or afraid.

During the Taizu period of the Great Jin Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao set up three major institutions, and the Tsing Yi Division was responsible for eliminating the world's demons; Heavenly Master's Mansion Technique, Pills, and Formations; Jokhang Temple is in charge of criminal law, refining tools, and sacrifices.

There is a clear division of powers between various institutions, but over the years, there have been demon disasters in various parts of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the Tsing Yi Division has been barely coping with it, so the Heavenly Master Mansion has taken the initiative to take on the control of demon disasters in some areas.

For this reason, there are many brothers and sisters who have died over the years.

The green bamboo forest where the Heavenly Master lives is buried many disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion who died from demons.

Tsing Yi Si took in the matter of the white snake's soul in the dragon case, and the master probably already knew about it, since he couldn't hide it, Shen Ning simply took Xiaobai to the green bamboo forest.

Most of the other Taoist residences in the Heavenly Master's Mansion are paved with gravel, but this section of the road in the green bamboo forest has not been renovated and is still muddy.

Shen Ning walked on the road and saw a 'senior brother' from a distance holding an umbrella to pay tribute to the sages.

"Ning, I've seen my senior brother." Shen Ning stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"Little junior brother, aren't you going to go to Nanxiang?" This 'senior brother' is dressed in white and wears a long sword at his waist, he looks handsome, and his smile is particularly good-looking, "Come to Daoju, but I want to ask the master for a few talismans?"

Shen Ning shook his head, "Senior Sister Peony, if Senior Brother Qi knows that you are pretending to be him, I am afraid that I will have to fight with you again." ”

The "man" who was called the senior sister stuck out his tongue mischievously, took off the mask on his face, revealed a beautiful face, and muttered: "Hmph, it's not that I can't beat him, I just let him before, and you have the ability to let him beat me!" ”

"Senior sister, Senior Brother Qi has been dead for a long time."

"Oh...... That's right. Peony seemed to be a little disappointed, but then hugged Shen Ning's shoulder with a smile, "Little junior brother, if you want a magic talisman, senior sister has it!" Tsing Yi Si's general text said that it was just a C-level demon disaster, and the magic weapon refined by the senior sister would definitely be able to keep you safe, and you would definitely not lie here and sleep like Qi Zirong, a fool. ”

Shen Ning "......"

Although the alchemy technique of peony in the Heavenly Master's Mansion is not top-notch, it is not bad, and it is more than enough to deal with C-level demons, but Shen Ning has already prepared these things.

Shen Ning said goodbye to the enthusiastic senior sister, and walked straight to the Taoist residence where the master lived, and he could smell the smell of medicine from a distance, a very ordinary tile house, surrounded by a fence, and the dustpans in the courtyard were full of dried elixirs, and a faint film formed by the spirit yuan shrouded them so as not to be wet by the rain.

Shen Ning stood outside the gate of the courtyard and said respectfully: "Master, disciple Shen Ning has come to pay a visit." ”

There was no response from the courtyard, so Shen Ning had to stand, and after a long time, a cold voice came, "Come in." ”

"Squeak!" Shen Ning pushed open the wooden door, and a woman dressed in mink fur and white was carving talismans with cinnabar, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and her bumpy figure was difficult to hide even under heavy clothing. The cold temperament makes her like a thousand-year-old ice, and people dare not approach.

"It's been a long time since you've been living in the aisle, so what's the matter?"

"A few days ago, there was a thousand-year-old white snake that caused chaos in the Jokhang Temple, and was suppressed under the Leiyin Pagoda by the Tsing Yi Division and the host of the Jokhang Temple." Shen Ning knelt on the ground and said: "The disciple found out that the white snake was found to have strayed into Shenjing in order to find a son, and the young snake had been made into a magic weapon by the monks of Jokhang Temple, and there was still a little spiritual remains, and the disciple couldn't bear it, and wanted to implore the master to allow the disciple to take the magic weapon with him and reshape it in the future." ”

"Li Sizheng told me about this matter in front of the emperor." The woman said lightly: "The two clans have been evil to each other for thousands of years, and you have never known how much trouble you will have if you take in the demons." ”

"Returning to the Master...... The disciple knows. Shen Ning replied, "As a last resort, the disciple will leave the Heavenly Master's Mansion with the White Bone Demon Umbrella. ”

Hearing Shen Ning's words, the woman's fingers drawing the talisman paused slightly, "You are very talented, if you work hard to cultivate more than 100 cultivations, your future achievements may not be under the teacher." Before this, no one dared to make trouble in the Heavenly Master's Mansion. ”

Shen Ning looked at the woman, his eyes moved, "The disciple thanked the master." ”

"When you were picked up by your teacher in the Eastern Emperor Daze, you made such an oath. As a teacher, I know that sooner or later there will be such a day, so you can go. ”

Outside the Daoju, the thin spring rain had stopped, and the haze in the sky gradually dissipated, Shen Ning put away the oil-paper umbrella and walked on the forest path, feeling melancholy.

He is an orphan, he grew up in the Eastern Emperor Daze, where people and demons live together, and he has seen too many tragic battles between humans and demons, and since then he has vowed to end this thousand-year-old strife.

It's just that the hatred between humans and demons is too heavy, and all he can do is try to change little by little.

The rain dripped down the forest leaves, passing by the green bamboo forest, Shen Ning saw that Senior Sister Peony was still guarding in front of Senior Brother Qi's grave, her clothes were wet by the rain, and her beautiful face didn't know whether it was rain or tears.

...................

It was getting late, and you could see the sunset falling between the mountains in the distance, rendering half of the sky.

Shen Ning returned to his Dao residence, and after simply making some food to fill his stomach, he changed into a white power suit and began to cultivate in the afterglow of dusk.

Mortals can open up the Yuan vein to make the Heaven and Earth Spirit Yuan run endlessly in the body, in order to ask the Dao realm, that is, when he first entered the immortal path, Meng Tong asked.

When asking the Dao realm, the spiritual elements in the body were limited, and the Xuanthaumaturgical method could not be cultivated.

More people will choose combat techniques with less spirit element consumption, and attach spirit elements to their weapons in order to maximize their own strength.

Shen Ning was no exception, what he cultivated was the Spirit Flame Decision, which did not belong to the Heavenly Master's Mansion's combat skills, but Qin Xianhui specially found it for him from the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.

It was created by Emperor Taizu Gao, and it is said that Emperor Taizu once relied on this combat skill to defeat three people in the same realm, and did not fall behind.

"Spirit Flame Duel" is divided into seven layers, and Shen Ning has only now cultivated to the first layer, transforming the spirit element into a spiritual flame with huge damage.

The faint blue flames danced at the tip of the spear, and every time Shen Ning swung it, there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air, as if a hidden dragon was coming out of the abyss, unstoppable!

Ling Yuan kept moving, maintaining the spiritual flame, the big beads of sweat seeped out from Shen Ning's forehead, and his breath became disordered, but compared to the pain of his body as if it had been hollowed out before, it was much better now.

After a set of marksmanship, Shen Ning inserted the spear into the wet earth, and the spiritual flame at the tip of the spear had not yet dissipated, making a sizzling sound.

Compared with combat skills, the strongest improvement in combat power has to be spells.

It's a pity that even if he has cultivated the spell at his current level, he doesn't have enough spirit yuan to urge him.

Shen Ning sighed slightly, stopped thinking about this, and after resting for a while, continued to practice ...... under the moonlight.
