"How do you know that Caozhuang is in trouble, there is someone behind it."

On the small hill outside Shenjing City, Ying Qin bowed three times to the mound he had piled up in front of him.

Only he and Shen Ning remained on the hill, and the rest were seriously injured, plus Nayisi's head went back to Tsing Yi Division without interrogation.

Ying Qin faced the simple mound, and the cold wind blew his hair, "Earlier, I asked Zifu Lingyue to protect you to go to Nanxiang, and I heard that you met the Yishan people on the outskirts of Nanxiang, so I guessed that the arrangement of the Yishan people in Nanxiang will not be more than one rural obscene shrine, so during this time, I gave up some of the demon troubles outside Jingxi Dao to pacify, wrote to my father, and concentrated my strength in Jingxi Dao. I originally wanted to see if it was the arrangement of the immortals, but I didn't expect to hit the rabbit with the grass, but I hit a snake. ”

"Wild gods, treacherous gods, treacherous mountain people, evil gods." A wry smile appeared on Shen Ning's face, "Win Qin, how much do I know about the things in this world." ”

Ying Qin stood on the hillside, looking at Shenjing City, and after a long time, he spoke: "Shen Ning, you see that the mountains and rivers of Dajin are beautiful and beautiful, but because it is so beautiful, it has attracted many people to snoop, our world is hovering on the verge of collapse, even me, my father, or your master do not have enough power to stop its destruction, we can only do what we can to delay the occurrence of this matter." ”

"You mean the gods are coming?"

"Judging from the information that Tsing Yi Si has obtained in the Evil God Sect over the years, last night's deceitful god should be called Zebu Jax, and a deceitful god like this is only the lowest existence in the world they know," Ying Qin said slowly: "But even if it is such an existence, if it continues to be consumed with him, I don't know how many cultivators will have to die in the Great Jin Dynasty before they have a chance to defeat him." What's more, there are more tricks that haven't appeared, although I don't know why it retreated last night, but it's a good thing for Dajin, because every time the gods come, they need to establish coordinates in our world in a certain way, and once the coordinates are destroyed, they will be lost in nothingness. Zebjax's departure means that in the next few short years, it will not be able to come back to our world. ”

"Do we have what it takes to find all the coordinates to destroy?" Shen Ning grasped the crux of the problem.

Ying Qin shook his head, "If the previous dynasty found out when they established the first coordinates, they might be able to suppress the arrival of the gods." Now, it's too late, the gods have developed too many cultists, and they will provide a steady stream of coordinates for the gods, and when the number of coordinates is so large that they can clearly light up the world we exist in many worlds, what awaits us at that time may be destruction. ”

"Is there no way around it?" Shen Ning heard the desperation in Ying Qin's words, and still asked unwillingly.

"Do you know why Emperor Taizu Gao abolished all the righteous gods in the primeval period and set up the soldiers who followed him in the southern and northern wars as the divine residence?" Ying Qin didn't answer, but instead asked Shen Ning another question.

Thinking of the existence of the strange gods, Shen Ning could vaguely guess the intention of Emperor Taizu Gao's move.

"Because we were abandoned by the gods of the primeval past." Ying Qin's face was bitter, "The gods of this world have realized that the gods of the world do not seem to be something they can fight against, so they have abandoned us to unite the gods of other worlds, wanting to survive under the oppression of the gods. ”

Speaking of this, Ying Qin paused, and there was a little more anger in his tone, "If this is the case, it will not be enough for Emperor Taizu Gao to abolish them, after all, anyone will have expectations for the gods, what really makes Emperor Taizu Gao's heart like ashes is that the departing gods regard the creatures of our world as supplies, devouring them wantonly, and collecting karma, so that they can increase their strength and get more say in other gods." ”

"The people of the Strange Mountains are the forces that believe in these gods?" Recalling the Nanxiang Demon Tribulation, Shen Ning quickly realized this.

"The Evil Mountain Sect is the representative of the Wild God's power in the Great Jin Dynasty, and the Cult of the Evil God is the coordinate of the Evil God in this season." Ying Qin calmed down and looked at the warm sun in the sky, "The world abandoned by the gods is really precarious." ”

Shen Ning fell silent, judging from the overall situation, Da Jin was already dead.

And there is no solution.

Now Shen Ning can also understand why the master and the emperor of the current dynasty would acquiesce to him raising demon souls, from the current situation, they may be more than themselves to be able to join forces with the demon clan, rather than excessively depleting their own strength in the constant demon troubles.

Ying Qin turned his head, patted Shen Ning's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, I heard Xian Hui say, did you promise her to participate in her ceremony?" ”

Shen Ning nodded, there was nothing to hide in this matter.

"You changed quickly, I was listening to the coercion and temptation of Chaoting, but I didn't see you so happy as you promised." Ying Qin's voice was a little dissatisfied.

"The eldest princess treats me with sincerity and sex, and I can't live up to her friendship."

Ying Qin and Ying Xianhui are compatriots, and they have loved her very much since she was a child, and Ying Xianhui's personality is gentle and considerate, and she is empathetic.

Therefore, as long as the person she chooses by herself is not too pedantic and stupid, Ying Qin will uphold a supportive attitude, but the marriage of the princess of Dajin has never been up to them.

"This matter has to be agreed by my father." Ying Qin reminded: "Now you are not as good as your father's eyes, of course, with his favor for Xianhui, this matter is not impossible." ”

That is to say, Shen Ning had an excellent relationship with Ying Qin when he was still practicing in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and if it were someone else, Ying Qin would definitely not say these words.

"Father loves chess in his spare time, your chess skills are good, there is just a lack of a chess edict in the palace, you should also jump out of the Heavenly Master's Mansion to enter the power of the Great Jin, and after participating in the virtuous ceremony, if the father has no ill feelings towards you. I'll arrange for that. ”

This is going to follow the path of the emperor's close ministers, and the prospective eldest brother has a plan, and Shen Ning naturally has no reason to refuse.

In this world, cultivators also uphold the concept of goods and emperors, after all, it is too difficult to achieve immortality, not to mention that there are no gods and Buddhas in this world.

As Ying Qin said, this is a world abandoned by the gods of the heavens!

Bidding farewell to Win Qin, out of friendship, Shen Ning went to the courtyard he bought to visit Gu Yanwu.

His injuries were mainly due to the previous fierce ghosts, and the subsequent battles basically had nothing to do with him, except for the fact that his skin was corroded a little by the blood rain, there was not much of a problem.

Gu Yanwu sat on the bed alone and bandaged his wounds, looking at Shen Ning like a nobody, gritted his teeth and said: "Following you, it's like starving nine times in three days, and occasionally being beaten, what kind of sin am I making, isn't it comfortable to honestly run darts to save money in Nanxiang?" ”

Shen Ning picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea, glanced at him, and asked calmly, "You don't want to rebuild the sect?" ”

"Nonsense, of course I want to, but what's the use of just thinking about it?" Gu Yanwu was indignant, "What's the matter, can you contribute money or can you help move bricks?" ”

Shen Ning took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and said slowly: "The rating of Caozhuang's ghost plague should be in the C grade, with this merit, you go to the Tsing Yi Division to receive a reward, and let them exchange it for silver, probably seven or eight hundred taels." ”

"Multi-..... How much? Gu Yanwu's bandaged hand stopped, his eyes full of disbelief.

You know, even if he runs the dart given by the rich, it will only be a hundred taels of silver after a trip.

Shen Ning ignored him, and Gu Yanwu repeated to himself: "Seven or eight hundred taels of silver, how many decent Taoist residences do you have to build, and the problem of the house has been solved." But the cultivation resources of the disciples are also a large amount! Lao Tzu worked hard until he was seventy or eighty, and maybe he could barely rebuild the sect. Alas! It's better than staying in Nanxiang and working until death......"

Shen Ning gently tapped Gu Yanwu's head with the White Bone Demon Umbrella, interrupting his self-talk.

"What?" Gu Yanwu, who was settling accounts, asked with some dissatisfaction.

"I'm hungry."

There are also shops selling mutton steamed buns in Shenjing City, but I don't know if it is because of the lack of "fairy wine", Shen Ning always feels a little less delicious when he eats, looks at Gu Yanwu who is sitting on the gobble, and interrupts in a timely manner: "Don't you be curious, what was the fight with us last night?" ”

"Curious, what is this for?" Gu Yanwu glanced at Shen Ning, "I'm curious that I can beat the weird things in the sky to death, and when the sky falls, there are people taller than us on top, how to say it, don't do it, don't worry about it." ”

"You're free-spirited." Hearing Gu Yanwu say this, Shen Ning's originally chaotic mood was much better, and after eating, the two parted ways.

Back in the Dao Residence, Shen Ning began to practice the breathing method, he wanted to improve his strength, at least the next time the god came, he would be able to have the ability to protect himself.

After half a burnt incense, Shen Ning opened his eyes, and an inexplicable horror surged in his heart.

He couldn't feel the spirit element in his body now!

One Sunday, two Sundays....... Whether it was the breathing method or the Heavenly Master's Mansion's mental formula, Shen Ning did not have a spiritual element surging in his body.

The spirit yuan, which was originally endless, seemed to have disappeared out of thin air after a big battle last night.

"What's going on?" Shen Ning looked inside his body, whether it was the sea or the Yuan vein, there was no problem, but he just couldn't feel his own spiritual yuan.

There is no difference between a monk without a spirit element and an ordinary person, and what it means is self-evident.

Shen Ning calmed down his breathing and used the breathing method again, this time there was a slight change.

The black qi originally emitted by the black seed in his body changed into black flames, and it traveled all over his body along the path of the breathing method!

There was no burning sensation as he imagined, on the contrary, the black flames were extraordinarily gentle when they swam through his body.

After two weeks of operation, Shen Ning's bones crackled, and the flames strengthened his bone meridians.

With each strengthening, Shen Ning could feel a full sense of power, and by cultivating according to the breathing method left by the Dao Ancestor, he could mobilize the flames contained in the black seed seed.

But if you cultivate according to the Heavenly Master's Mansion's mental formula, you won't have this effect at all.

At this moment, Shen Ning clearly realized that this black seed had changed his cultivation method, he had lost the ability to absorb the spirit element of heaven and earth, and he could instead call on the black seed.

In a moment, Shen Ning exhaled a breath of turbidity, feeling an unprecedented sense of power coming from his body, and his eyes were full of surprise.

He followed the operation method of "Spirit Flame Decision" to drive the black flame, and the next moment a flame shot out and hit the bluestone brick of Daoju, "clicking" the bluestone brick to shatter instantly, leaving a deep pit the size of a baby's head in place, and the power was not known how many grades higher than the previous "Spirit Flame Decision".

Shen Ning tried to start cultivating according to the second layer of the Spirit Flame Decision, "Condensing Flame as a Weapon", and soon a long sword composed of black flames appeared in his hand.

With a slight touch, you can feel that the long sword condensed by this flame has substance.

"This is what Dao Ancestor did intentionally?" Shen Ning calmly analyzed, it was obvious that the black seed and the breathing method left by the Dao Ancestor were matched, "Did the Dao Ancestor know thousands of years ago that someone would get the black seed and the breathing method and start cultivating?" ”

The doubts in Shen Ning's heart did not decrease, if he could not absorb the cultivation of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Yuan, this seed could be regarded as an energy bank that stored energy, and when the energy stored in it was exhausted, it would mean that he had lost the ability to use spells, and there was no difference between him and ordinary people.

And the only way it can replenish its energy seems to come from the gods!

Realizing this, Shen Ning's pupils suddenly dilated.

He should have thought a long time ago, whether it was in Qingmang Mountain or in the face of the Trick God, with the abnormal performance of the Black Seed, he should have realized that this seed was left by the Dao Ancestor to deal with the Trick God!

"Thousands of years ago, did Dao Ancestor perceive the existence of the Evil God?" Shen Ning was deep in his thoughts, if this was the case, would the departure of the gods not be because of fear of the strength of the gods, as Ying Qin said, but because of other reasons?

The best way to find out is to ask the gods.

But in a world where the gods have gone, this idea is clearly redundant.

Shen Ning frowned, there was one person who might know the answer, and that was the woman in red hidden in Xiao Bai Zhihai, the white bone demon umbrella.

Recalling the first few simple contacts she had with her, Shen Ning's face was bitter, and she seemed to have always ignored him.

Faced with the situation in front of him, Shen Ning was unprepared, and with the mentality of giving it a try, he still opened the White Bone Demon Umbrella.

After the bewitching red light, he once again came to a world where there was only night forever.

The woman in red was still sitting on the dead branches, looking at the bright moon in the sky, unlike before, the flowers on the other side were more vivid than before, as if they were dyed with blood.
