Early the next morning.

The white clouds are rising, and the morning glow is beginning to dew.

The cry of kingfishers in the mountains and forests disturbed Shen Ning's clear dream, he slowly sat up, and looked around the cave where Zifu Lingyue had long been gone.

I want to come and eat the pill I gave, I'm afraid I'm embarrassed to "imprison" myself again.

Stretching comfortably, Shen Ning felt hungry in his belly, and was not in a hurry to return to Shenjing City, planning to hunt some game in the mountains and forests.

The sun shines through the leaves in the mountains and forests, a breeze rustles through the mountain forests, the roses and wildflowers on the roadside are blooming, and an elk is happily feeding, and its slender ears move slightly, probably as soon as there is any wind and grass will seize the time to flee for their lives.

In general, the mountain forest is calm in the morning, as most carnivorous beasts do not appear too early.

It's a pity that this elk ran into Shen Ning, and it was too late when it wanted to escape.

Ten miles away from the cave, there was a clear lake, and Shen Ning carried the carcass of the elk to dispose of it beside this lake.

When the preparations were almost ready, I found dry firewood and prepared to roast and eat.

The game grown up in the mountains and forests is fat and strong, and it can be made very fragrant without any seasoning.

The golden oil and water dripped down the burnt venison on the fire, invisibly fueling the fire, and the fragrance wafted away, so that the nearby beasts did not dare to approach it.

"You're quite at ease." The familiar cold voice sounded in his ears, and Shen Ning didn't need to look back to tell who it was: "I thought you were gone?" ”

Zifu Lingyue sat opposite Shen Ning, unable to see her face through the grimace mask, "I think the same as you." ”

Hearing this, Shen Ning smiled, cultivators can't do Bigu before they reach the Heavenly Xuan Realm, and of course the Xuan Realm's Zifu Lingyue will also feel hungry, and when he found that there were people roasting wild game in the mountains and forests, of course he came over.

"Would you like to have something together?" It'll be fine in a while. ”

Zi Fu Lingyue nodded.

"Last night, you said that the spirit yuan on your body is because of the secret treasure of the demon clan." Zifu Lingyue helped add firewood, "I'm curious, since it's the secret treasure of the demon clan, why is it on you." ”

"Because of it." Shen Ning pointed to the white bone demon umbrella he was carrying behind him, "The treasure that his mother gave me." ”

"The white snake suppressed under the Thunder Tower?" At the beginning, the White Lady who was suppressed by the Tsing Yi Division and the Jokhang Temple, of course, Zifu Lingyue had also heard of it.

"When Xiaobai was taken to the Jokhang Temple to make a magic weapon, his mother came to Shenjing City to look around, and accidentally bumped into me who let go of the monster in the mountains and forests, and thought that I might be an outlier among the cultivators, so he begged me for help, and gave me the secret treasure of the demon clan as a thank you."

"Let the monster go?" Zi Fu Lingyue said coldly: "You are not afraid of the world's cultivators attacking it. ”

Shen Ning shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "In my eyes, the demon who has opened the spirit of wisdom, on the premise that they have not done evil, they should have the right to live in the world, and none of us have deprived them of the right to live." ”

"But do you know that the demon you let go may not have done evil for a while, so what about the future?" Zi Fu Lingyue asked, "Can you keep them from being different from ordinary creatures, and they won't do evil in the future?" Do you have a guilty conscience at all times? ”

Shen Ning first used Lingyuan to make small cuts on the venison's body, so that the venison would cook faster, and then replied: "Your question seems to be saying that this person is very kind now, but can you guarantee that he will not kill people in the future, unfortunately, my answer is no." ”

"How can humans and demons be compared." Zi Fu Lingyue is stubborn.

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs." Shen Ning said with a smile: "This is what the ancient sage said, the dispute between the demons at that time was more intense than now, and there are still such remarks, in our generation, we should find a way to solve the disputes between the demons, instead of continuing to fight for thousands of years, in that case, the tragedy will only increase." ”

Zi Fu Lingyue was silent for a long time, and her beautiful eyes looked at Shen Ning with a little more different meaning.

"Come, try my craft." Shen Ning cut off a piece of venison and handed it to Zi Fu Lingyue.

Smelling the fragrance that lingered on the tip of her nose, Zifu Lingyue took off her mask, her eyes were like water, but with a faint coldness, she seemed to be able to see through everything in the world, her long hair was black and bright, fluttering with the breeze, and her bright red lips added a bit of sexiness, and she was beautiful.

"What are you looking at?" Zi Fu Lingyue found that Shen Ning had been staring at her, her willow eyebrows frowned slightly,

Subconsciously, Shen Ning said the words in his heart, "You are a fairy." ”

"Dengzi!" Zi Fu Lingyue didn't have a trace of emotion, and the sword on her waist didn't come out, and it hit Shen Ning's throat.

Shen Ning could feel that if he didn't give a good explanation, this sword was very likely to be inserted into his body, so he looked calm and said lightly: "You always wore a mask before, I thought it was because you looked ugly, but just now I found out that I was wrong." There is no offense in the following, and I ask for the understanding of the girl. ”

Still holding the venison roasted by others in his hand, Zifu Lingyue had no choice but to snort coldly, withdraw her sword and concentrate on eating the venison.

Shen Ning also cut off a piece of venison for himself, put a little wild vegetables that he had just picked up firewood, washed it, and put it on the venison and put it in his mouth together.

Suddenly, the mixed aroma of wild herbs and venison filled the cavities, and the lips and teeth were full of relish, making people want to stop.

Seeing Shen Ning's look of enjoyment, Zifu Lingyue turned her head.

"Do you want to try it, it's too tired to eat only venison." Shen Ning didn't wait for Zi Fu Lingyue to answer, so he put the remaining part of the wild vegetables in front of her.

Zi Fu Lingyue did not refuse Shen Ning's kindness, pretending to pick up a few pieces of wild vegetables and put them in his mouth to try, his eyes lit up slightly, but he asked quietly: "You are a disciple of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, why are you so particular about barbecue." ”

Looking at the roasted venison, Shen Ning recalled, shook his head after a while, and said with relief: "The cultivators of our Heavenly Master's Mansion are no better than Tsing Yi Si, most of them are qualified orphans picked up by the master from all over the Great Jin, and I am also picked up by the master from the Eastern Emperor Daze. ”

"Eastern Emperor Daze, the border of the shemale clan?" Zifu Lingyue asked.

Shen Ning nodded, "Before the master took me to the Heavenly Master's Mansion, I lived with a lame man, he had no name and no surname, and he took me to hunt some game in the mountains every day to live, away from the battlefield, and the life was also chic and comfortable." ”

"And then?" Zifu Lingyue's movements of chewing venison were a little slower, and she seemed to be very interested in Shen Ning's past.

"Later, the demon soldiers came, and the cripple blocked the chasing demon soldiers in order to keep me alive, and when I went back, there was only a broken skeleton left." Shen Ning sighed slightly, "If it weren't for him dying, I might never have left that mountain forest, at least after I gave him a pension." ”

Zi Fu Lingyue put down the venison in her hand, looked at Shen Ning's eyes, and asked seriously: "Since he died because of the demon, why don't you think about getting rid of the demon, but ......" ”

The mouth of the cannibal is short, and the last few words Fu Lingyue did not speak, but Shen Ning smiled freely and said indifferently: "Because that cripple is too kind, kind enough to help the injured demon soldiers, so kind that he is dying, and he is still telling me not to resent them, not to think about avenging him." ”

"So your great wish is to end the strife between the shemale races." Zi Fu Lingyue now seemed to be able to understand why Shen Ning would desperately protect the soul of the white snake.

Shen Ning was noncommittal. "The grand wish was made by me after my master met me, and I was willing to enter the Heavenly Master's Mansion at that time."

"Conditions?" Zifu Lingyue was a little surprised, Heavenly Master Li Xuanji, Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, she had heard it since she was a child, and it was hard to imagine that such a person would make a compromise.

"The condition is to kill those demon soldiers, so that I can have a clear mind and devote myself to cultivation." What Shen Ning said was a matter of course.

The cripple is very kind, so kind that he can not care about his life and death, but Shen Ning is not a kind person.

It is impossible for him to let the demon soldiers kill his only closest relatives in the world and still be able to live.

"Don't just talk about me, what about you?" Shen Ning asked with a smile, "You said last night that you wanted my cultivation secret method to fulfill your great wish, and I am also curious about what your grand wish is?" For this reason, he did not hesitate to be seriously injured to bring me out of Shenjing City. ”

The breeze seemed to blow Zifu Lingyue's heart, and her originally calm eyes rippled, "My great wish is to kill the sect master of the Shangqing Sect." ”

"Sss Shen Ning gasped.

The Shangqing Sect is not weak in the hundred schools of Xianmen, and is responsible for the demon problem in Henan Province.

It was hard for him to imagine why such a sect would have a grudge against Zi Fu Lingyue.

As if seeing Shen Ning's doubts, Zi Fu Lingyue took out a token from his arms, and there were dried blood stains on it, and the three words Shangqing Sect were written on it.

Shen Ning, who realized that something was wrong, frowned, "Why is the token of the Shangqing Sect in your hand?" ”

"Henan corpse trouble, Shangqing Sect slaughtered the sect where I was a child." Speaking of this, the hatred in Zifu Lingyue's eyes was difficult to hide.

"How is that possible!" Shen Ning couldn't believe it, "Since the founding of Emperor Taizu Gao, the hundred schools of Xianmen have made an oath not to attack each other, and the offender sect will be destroyed. ”

Zi Fu Lingyue smiled sadly, "When I informed Li Sizheng of this, his reaction was the same as yours. ”

Seeing the token and expression in Zifu Lingyue's hand, Shen Ning knew that she was not a person who was unreasonable, and this matter might not be as simple as she thought.

"If you can, can you tell me more about it?"

The two looked at each other, Zifu Lingyue lowered her eyes, clenched the token in her hand, and said slowly: "At the beginning, my father was the head of a small sect in Henan Province, and he gave birth to me when he was over 100 years old. ”

"It's not that he doesn't like me, but he thinks that the resources of the sect are limited, and he won't have too high achievements if he stays in the sect for the rest of his life, so he sent me to the Tsing Yi Division."

"I did not live up to his expectations, at the age of ten I completed the assessment of the Tsing Yi Division, in the Tsing Yi Division penance "Twenty-four Illusions" after the outbreak of corpses in Henan Province, I was worried about my father's safety, so I took the initiative to ask Ying to return to Henan Province. That is, on the day I went back, the sect was slaughtered, my father's body was burned to the ground, and I found the little junior brother who still had one breath left in the ruins, and he handed me the hidden token of the Shangqing Sect, and the last sentence was: The Shangqing Sect violated the ancestral teachings. ”

"Apart from the token, is there anything else on the scene that can confirm that it was done by the Shangqing Sect?" Shen Ning asked.

"Nope." Zi Fu Lingyue took back the token, "Except for the token, there are no clues left by the people who slaughtered my sect at the scene. ”

"Does the Shangqing Sect have a grudge with your family?" Shen Ning asked the key point.

Zi Fu Lingyue shook her head, "The Shangqing Sect and my sect have always been good friends, and the hundred families of the Xianmen are well known, so after my sect was slaughtered, no one thought that the Shangqing Sect did it, and all the possibilities were attributed to the scattered cultivators who took the opportunity to make trouble in Henan Province. ”

In Shen Ning's eyes, Zifu Lingyue can be said to have both human and material evidence, even if the sect is not slaughtered by the Shangqing Sect, it probably can't get out of it.

In addition, Zi Fu Lingyue, who is in the position of Suzaku, should have a lot of say in the Tsing Yi Division, why did this kind of thing happen in a hurry?

"You told Li Sizheng about this, how did he respond?"

"Lord Si Zheng said that the demon disaster in Henan is serious, and the role of the Shangqing Sect is irreplaceable." Zifu Lingyue's cold face shed a line of tears, it was hard to imagine that such a resolute woman would shed tears one day.

Li Sizheng's answer was not unexpected by Shen Ning, at that time, Henan Province was ten rooms and nine empty, which could be regarded as precarious, if the Shangqing Sect was thoroughly investigated at this stage, it would undoubtedly be a hard blow to the already turbulent situation, and at that time, Henan Province would inevitably become a place where corpses were raging, and it could no longer be recovered.

However, this answer also means that Tsing Yi Si acquiesced in the fact that Zi Fu Lingyue's sect was slaughtered, and it was precisely because the Shangqing Sect was involved that this matter would not be investigated whether it was done by the Shangqing Sect or not.

After a long time, Shen Ning stood up and suddenly asked, "Do you believe me?" ”

Zifu Lingyue raised her head and looked at Shen Ning in astonishment, and the sunlight was shining on his body at that time, as if it was coated with a faint golden light for him.

"I believe it."

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Shen Ning pondered: "According to what you say, there is definitely a problem with the Shangqing Sect, but for all considerations, the Tsing Yi Division has given up the pursuit of the Shangqing Sect. Even if we have more evidence of the slaughter of the sect by the Shangqing Sect and hand it over to the Tsing Yi Division, it is very likely that the imperial court will indulge the behavior of the Shangqing Sect out of the stability of Henan Province, so if you want to reward, you can't limit your eyes to the imperial court. ”

Zifu Lingyue was still a little puzzled, "What do you mean?" ”

Shen Ning said calmly: "Since the imperial court can't manage it, then find a way to make this matter public to the hundred schools of Xianmen." It is taboo for immortals to slaughter each other. I don't believe that the people of the hundred schools of Xianmen can sit still. At that time, the eyes of the whole world will be focused on Henan Province, and the Shangqing Sect will become the target of public criticism, so that you don't have to worry about the situation in Henan Province, you also have the opportunity to take revenge, of course, the premise of all this is that there is enough evidence to prove that this matter was done by the Shangqing Sect. ”

The warm breeze was blowing, the bonfire roasting venison was still burning, making a crackling sound, and the mountains and forests were silent.

Shen Ning's figure was deeply engraved into Zifu Lingyue's mind at this moment.
