Chapter 24: Huh? Anything extra?
No matter how dissatisfied Nan Liangsheng was, she had to admit that if she wanted to rescue Xia Qianqing, Su Jiming's help was an indispensable part.
She looked at the costume given by Su Jiming in front of her, which was a pale green light gauze skirt, embroidered with some extremely delicate flower and bird patterns, a few magpie birds singing happily on the branches, and a snow-white ribbon around her waist, which looked restrained and elegant as a whole.
But for some reason, she always felt that something was wrong.
Her white hair was delicately coiled behind her head and held in place with a jade hairpin. The carvings on the hairpin are meticulous and give people a fresh beauty. A pair of jade earrings hung from her ears, which contrasted sharply with the fairness of her skin.
After changing into this gauze skirt, Nan Liangsheng realized that something was wrong, her cheeks flushed imperceptibly, and she said angrily:
"Why is this dress so short?"
The length of this clothing is just knee-high, and the delicate hem of the clothes will sway in the wind, occasionally revealing a white calf, such as snowy skin looming in the hem, the more you care, the more likely it is to have an accident, Nan Liangsheng did not find that the hem of the clothes was slightly lifted when she moved, so that she exposed more calves.
It's too short, but it's a mid-length skirt compared to those short skirts in the previous life.
But even so, the scene in front of you is enough to be called a feast for the eyes
Su Jiming retracted his gaze and asked the night sparrow to find a new dress.
After Nan Liangsheng changed into this emerald green dress that could cover her calves, her face eased slightly, but she still felt that these were all deliberately difficult for Su Jiming, and she didn't give the other party any good looks.
She slowly turned her head, a mysterious aura shrouded her body, the white hair that was originally like snow was windless, and her fingers gently stroked the dancing white hair, and the white hair instantly became pitch black as ink, gradually changing to the end of the hair.
In just an instant, Nan Liangsheng changed her appearance, and the mysterious aura around her body also disappeared as her hair turned black, and she looked like an ordinary woman at this time.
"That way, they shouldn't even recognize me."
The most iconic thing about spirituality is their white hair, and Nan Liangsheng not only changed this, but also changed his appearance and temperament.
Su Jiming sighed in his heart the mysteries of the secret method of the Spirit Sect, but his face was not obvious, and he said:
"Now that you're all set, let's go."
After the words fell, he looked at Nan Liangsheng again and instructed:
"Please also ask Senior Nan to condescend, and then you must not leak a flaw in front of the Sword Sect."
“...”
Nan Liangsheng was a little unhappy with Su Jiming's skeptical attitude, but she didn't refute it, and pursed her lips after humming lightly.
....
In the distance, on the skyline, rows of mountains surround the land like a huge barrier. The top of the mountains, entangled in thin white clouds, makes the view monotonous and wide when viewed from outside the carriage. The endless wilderness unfolded in front of you, and as far as the eye could see, you could only see the endless grassland, and it seemed that only the blue sky, the white clouds, and the green of the earth were left between heaven and earth.
"We're here in about half an hour... At that time, I will also ask the southern seniors to disguise one or two. ”
On the carriage, looking at Nan Liangsheng who was sitting on the side, Su Jiming spoke.
Although he can't recognize Nan Liangsheng's original appearance at all, if Nan Liangsheng shows an attitude that a maid shouldn't have, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion again.
This is the only point in the whole thing that may overturn, so Su Jiming reminded the other party repeatedly.
"If you hear anything bad in the Sword Sect, please don't be angry."
Hearing this, Nan Liangsheng was quite calm:
"I already know what they will say, so why be angry."
"The two sects of sword and spirit have a long-standing grudge, if I get angry because of this matter, I will be in vain for so many years."
Su Jiming suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked with some curiosity:
"Speaking of grudges for a long time, but the relationship between the sword and spirit sects back then should be the best among the nine sects."
"I'm a little curious, what happened back then that led to the tense attitude of the two Sword Spirit Sects now?"
Hearing this, Nan Liangsheng's face turned slightly pale as if he remembered something, but he soon said coldly:
"It's just a traitor setting up a situation to harm the good."
She said with some meaning.
I heard the other party's fingers and scolding Huai, but Su Jiming didn't care, and put on a posture of listening carefully.
Seeing the other party's attitude, Nan Liangsheng was angry and funny.
But since the other party asked, she didn't have any intention to hide it, after all, this matter of the sword, the spirit two sects opened their mouths and said:
"Back then, our Spirit Sect's Spirit Envoy was about to break through the Nine Realms, and the Sword Sect was the leader of the Nine Sects that year, and I was worried that after the Spirit Sect's Spirit Sect broke through, it would take away their Sword Sect's position, so I invited my Spirit Sect Spirit Envoy to join his Sword Sect.
Hearing this, Su Jiming interrupted:
"I heard that the Sword Sect Sect Master also died in that incident."
"The Sword Sect Sect Sect's Demon Sword Refining Demon Sword would have been around for a short time, otherwise why would the Sword Sect be so anxious to get rid of my Spirit Sect Palm Spirit Envoy back then?"
Speaking of this, Nan Liangsheng, who had always been cold, couldn't help but have some hatred in her tone, and as she spoke, she looked at Su Jiming again, and snorted:
"It's just that it's not as good as itself, so you can only rely on the rats on the side."
Inexplicably scolded again, Su Jiming was not angry, and there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.
.......
The carriage traveled on the wide official road, until it reached the pass, and the field of vision instantly widened.
The location of Heqiao Mountain is outside Bianzhou, at the junction of Shanhaikou and Nanguan.
After a long time of turbulence, the three of them arrived at Heqi Mountain.
Located in the depths of the mountain estuary, Crane Mountain is famous among the major sects for its treacherous environment, and even the brave people do not easily set foot in this place.
Usually this place is only used as a place of trial for some sect disciples. Therefore, within a radius of ten miles, there are very few people except for vine-lined forests and rocky mountains.
However, in the middle of the day, a horse-drawn carriage rolled over the gravel path, breaking the silence. The sunlight shone on the wheels, reflecting a golden yellow, and the carriage headed towards the crane mountain that stood between heaven and earth.
However, when the carriage drove into the foot of Tsuruchio Mountain, the surrounding air seemed to freeze for a while.
Immediately afterward, a group of people in sword robes suddenly appeared from the mountains and surrounded the carriage. Their sword robes fluttered, their expressions were serious, their eyes were cold and hard, and the long swords in their hands flashed with cold light, giving people a heavy and oppressive feeling.
After recognizing that the passenger in the carriage was Su Jiming, the atmosphere of the group of swords instantly eased. The disciple of the Sword Sect at the head of the group had a relaxed face, he hurriedly stepped forward, clenched his right hand into a fist in the palm of his left hand, and saluted Su Jiming, with a respectful and respectful look on his face, and said:
"Shizi, the sword-wielding elder has been waiting for a long time. The sword opening ceremony is about to begin. ”
"Hmm."
Su Jiming nodded, and got out of the carriage with Yeque and Nan Liangsheng, and the Sword Sect disciple who was the leader just glanced at the two of them, and didn't say anything, just turned around and led the way with Su Jiming.
As the disciples of the Sword Sect climbed over the thorns and jungles, they finally saw a narrow and steep mountain path, with bluestone and phosphorus on both sides, and the mountain path was also uneven, and every step needed to be stabilized.
And above the top of the hill in front of them, a wide flat ground stood abruptly with a circle of bronze stone steps, which was a great altar.
Above the altar, there stood a black sword that had long been covered with rust, the black sword was about four feet long, the sword body was wide, and next to the black sword, stood a familiar thin old man, who was the elder with the sword.
- This is the Destiny Artifact?
Su Jiming looked at the black sword full of rust, and a little curiosity rose in his heart.
Although there are slight differences from what you see in the immersive game of Jiuchuan Lu, there is no doubt that this is one of the few life weapons in the game, the Sword Sect's "Evil Sword".
This is the natal sword of the previous sect master of the Sword Sect, which was cultivated with the sword intent of the eighth realm, and after the death of the sect master of the Sword Sect, he did not know where to go.
Thinking of what Nan Liangsheng said to him in the car, Su Jiming recalled the introduction of this "Evil Sword" in the game
- Evil thoughts return to the spirit to remove the sword, and the Sword Sect is most likely to use the magic sword forged by itself with the sword intent, but unfortunately it is corrupted by evil thoughts, and the swordsman is also infected by evil thoughts. The spirit guest balances the evil thoughts at the cost of his life, and the sword and spirit depend on each other, turning into reincarnation, and completely sealing the evil thoughts in the sword body.
Obviously, both the Sword Sect and the Spirit Sect had a misunderstanding back then... Combined with the introduction of the item and the rhetoric of the Spirit Sect, the general context of the matter is also clear at a glance.
The sword forged by the Sword Sect Sect Master was invaded by evil thoughts, and the Palm Spirit Envoy of the year discovered this and suppressed the evil thoughts with his own life, and even the Sword Sect Master of the year died together.
The Evil Sword, as the name suggests, is a bit evil... Using it in the game can also lead to mental confusion, probably because of the so-called evil thoughts.
Su Jiming put away his thoughts, and the disciple of the Sword Sect also ran to the thin old man and said something, and when the latter heard this, his eyes looked at Su Jiming, and his deep eyes seemed to see through him.
The sword-wielding elder quickly withdrew his gaze, nodded at Su Jiming, and instructed the disciples on the side.
He didn't let the other party come to help unlock the ban on the magic sword, in fact, the elder with the sword had already clearly understood the method of breaking the ban, and invited Su Jiming just to tie up the big ship of the Guogong Mansion.
What the other party said that he would help the Sword Sect deal with the Spirit Sect was just empty talk, and only after he completely participated in the incident of sacrificing Xia Qianqing, the Guogong Mansion would be completely opposed to the Spirit Sect, and no matter what the result was, at least the Guogong Mansion could no longer bet on both ends.
After the Sword Sect disciple who led Su Jiming up said something to the sword-wielding elder, he quickly turned back and said to Su Jiming:
"Shizi, please come here, the sword opening ceremony will start later."
Su Jiming opened his mouth and asked, "Can't you just wait here?" ”
The disciple had a look of embarrassment on his face, and said:
"The sword opening ceremony is very dangerous, the prince has no cultivation, I am afraid that it will affect at that time..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Su Jiming speak:
"Since you brought me to watch the sword opening ceremony, you can't see it when you're far away..."
"The attendants beside me are the Fifth Realm, and the Sword Sect doesn't have to worry about my safety."
Hearing this, the Sword Sect disciple subconsciously looked back at the sword-wielding elder, and the thin old man nodded, and then he turned his head and said to the prince:
"Since the prince said so, then we will not force it, and ask the prince to focus on his own safety."
.......
The air was filled with dampness and staleness, mixed with the indescribable smell of decay, the leakage between the stone walls, and the dull ticking sound from time to time, as if counting down, in this confined space, the light was particularly scarce, only a small hole at the top, allowing a faint ray of sunlight to penetrate and illuminate the dust on the ground.
In the darkness and silence, Xia Qianqing slowly woke up. Her eyes were shut, and her head felt as if it had been slammed with a hammer, sending her consciousness fluttering in untold pain. Awakened from her coma by this sharp pain, her heart seemed to be about to be pulled out, but her throat could not make a sound because of the lack of water.
The torture of half a month has made her spirit tense to the limit, as if the candle flame that is weak and can't help the wind will be extinguished when a hint of wind blows.
However, even on the verge of collapse, when she slowly opened her eyes, which were full of cold stone walls and dim glimmers, almost immediately, her mind was reminded of her current situation.
"The sword opening ceremony is about to begin... That Spirit Sect.."
The voice came from the front, and then paused, the Sword Sect disciple couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at Xia Qianqing, who had woken up, but soon, he said with some pity:
"Well, why wake up at such a time..."
If you don't wake up, you can leave in a coma without pain.
Hearing this, the disciple beside him asked:
"What now?"
"Stun her."
Hearing this, Xia Qianqing, who had just woken up, didn't even have the strength to move his fingers, just squeezed out a word from his throat:
"You guys.."
Her heart was extremely unwilling, but before the words fell, she felt that her eyes were dark, and she fainted again.
The unwillingness and regret also dissipated at this time.
Poor Miss Xia Qianqing didn't even wake up for ten seconds...
Since he was tied up by Su Jiming, he has been circling back and forth in syncope and consciousness.
....
At this time, the crane is outside the mountain.
Su Jiming looked at the few lines of words that appeared in front of him, and his eyes were slightly condensed.
[Destiny Weapon: Evil Sword (Adaptable to Destiny: Lingyun Plus Body)]
[Personality Adaptation: No]
Immediately afterwards, the words in front of me changed again, gradually turning into other lines
[Destiny Host: Xia Qianqing]
[Stealable Life Character Increase: Spiritual Charm Body]
[Acquisition method, so that the mood value of the host 'Xia Qianqing' fluctuates by 90%, and the proposition can be automatically stolen]
Seeing these lines, Su Jiming's thoughts paused for a moment, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
- Anything extra?
