Verse 10

This finger is so swollen that if it wasn't tortured before it was born, something was inserted into the flesh and blood, and the blood stains might not have been cut off for two days.

Zhao Ning frowned, he never thought it would be such a strange thing.

With the attitude of the Jia family and his wife, the madness of the robbers who did not hesitate to chase and kill during the day, and the blood stains on the sleeves of the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, it is difficult for Zhao Ning not to speculate that the person named "Jia Rui" is in the village, and he is protected by the Jia family and his wife, and what makes them avoid is the "treasure" in the mouth of the bandits.

Perhaps, in the eyes of the Jia family and his wife, the "treasure" is just a cover for the bandits, and all they want to find is Jia Rui, in order to avenge the owner of the finger.

The pedantic Jia family couple, or the Jia family couple who are eager to protect their children, their first reaction is to throw this hot potato thing out, and throw it as far away as possible.

Zhao Ning's expression did not change, she touched the severed finger with the branch, is this really the case?

The tip of the branch is tempted, and the phalanges under the skin and flesh are not neat, with obvious openings and curvatures.

A conclusion that was about to come out crossed Zhao Ning's heart - it was not a bone wrapped in it.

She closed the box suddenly, stopping her quest for the truth.

Sitting on the branch, as if the temptation just now had not happened, his fingertips played with the branches, and the branches rotated around the tips of his fingers, leisurely and boring.

In the middle of the night, the clouds covered the moon, and the crows quacked and screamed, and when they landed at the head of the village, they were violently startled.

A man covered in gauze ran out of a small courtyard in the village, followed by the staggering Jia family and his wife.

The two of them were so worried that they had to suppress their voices to dissuade, "Tiezhu, don't chase, Tiezhu." Dad knows that you shouldn't give things out while you're unconscious, but that bloody thing almost killed you, we don't want it, we don't want it, we don't want it, just let that girl take that thing away, ah. ”

"Iron pillar, child, you are too injured to move, come back quickly, come back."

The person called the Iron Pillar is no surprise that Jia Rui is it.

But Jia Rui tore the gauze on his body, gritted his teeth and endured, "You also know that I was seriously injured for it!" You can't see how important it is to me! Why are you so stupid, I must chase it back! ”

"Isn't it just a finger, such an obscure thing......"

"Shut up! Don't stop me! ”

Jia Rui couldn't hold back any longer, he shook off his parents and stumbled out of the village, even so, his speed was not slow at all, the couple couldn't catch up at all, and after a while, the people disappeared into the night, leaving the couple at the entrance of the village so anxious that they cried and were at a loss, but they didn't dare to shout loudly.

Zhao Ning closed his eyes on the tree to rest, and heard the sound of footsteps half a mile away, one deep and one shallow, as if he was injured, but the footsteps were unexpectedly fast, but half a cup of tea had already arrived near Zhao Ning.

The night did not block Zhao Ning's sight, after the breakthrough of the Limu acupoint, with the ability to have night vision, the man looked not very old, sixteen or seventeen years old and a half size, the body was newly changed coarse cloth clothes, and the bandaged threads on his body were exposed in a mess, his appearance was ordinary, but there was a feeling that people couldn't see through.

With just two breaths of staring, the man suddenly turned his gaze away.

"Who! Come out! ”

After cultivating the Taixu Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra, the condensation aura converged very well, even the beasts in the mountains that were sensitive to the breath couldn't detect her at this distance, but this young man directly locked her position.

Zhao Ning did not panic and calmly jumped down from the tree.

Ever since he noticed the abnormality of this severed finger, Zhao Ning knew that it was definitely a troublesome matter.

Jia Rui turned around and looked her up and down like the tip of a knife in his eyes, "You are 'Lin Ying'?" What a coincidence, I'm looking for you. "I'm seriously injured, and I still have a bit of momentum.

"Unfortunately, I'm waiting for you." Zhao Ning replied, she raised the small box in her hand, "I can't afford to accept a big gift for nothing, and I will return it to you." ”

Saying that, he threw it in the direction of Jia Rui, the small box flew in the air, Jia Rui's eyes were cold, his wrist turned, and a stone was shot out, the small box was in the middle, the box shattered, and the severed finger inside fell out, Jia Rui was startled, and quickly jumped up to catch the severed finger.

He repeatedly probed and severed his fingers, looked at Zhao Ning with suspicion, and didn't believe that Zhao Ning threw it to him so easily.

"Uncle Jia's half of the ginseng is used as payment." Zhao Ning stood under the tree, neither humble nor arrogant, not happy or angry, "After that, the grievances were stopped." I won't take your mess, and you won't want to bring trouble to the water. ”

With that, she turned around decisively and was about to leave.

"Wait!" But he didn't want Jia Rui to shout, but his attitude turned around, "This thing is called 'Immortal Guiding the Way', which can refer to a road to heaven and immortality, do you want it?" ”

Zhao Ning was slightly stunned and stopped.

Jia Rui said slowly, "The Qingyun Gang's immortal exercises were secretly stolen, and there is only this road to heaven left in this huge Nanjun Jianghu. This thing is the key to this path to heaven. It is quite difficult to open the road to heaven, I respect Lin Ying girl's chivalrous and uprightness, and she has a good means, why don't you cooperate with me? ”

Zhao Ning turned around slowly, saying that the key hidden in the severed finger was indeed in line with those uneven lines, but this statement of "immortal guiding the way" made Zhao Ning stunned for a while.

The small Nanjing, the land of Nanjun, how can it hide one road after another to become an immortal.

She replied, "I don't know what it means." If it is said that the immortals guide the way, if there is a fate, the immortals will support them in the underworld, if there is no fate, the great opportunity from the sky, then I can't afford it. ”

"Since Gongzi wants to take this great opportunity, then I wish Gongzi success and this great creation."

"Farewell."

Chapter 022

Zhao Ning didn't know where the place of Yue Ming was.

When I went into the county to explore before, I also looked for the maps sold in the county, these maps were sloppy and simple, and the largest area was the entire southern county.

Xu is a remote place, not to mention the news of the sixteen countries of Kyushu, that is, the map of the entire Nanjing Kingdom cannot be seen, Zhao Ning set off and thought about going to the Nanjun County Mansion to find the news of Yue Ming's land there.

The name of the county government of Nanjun is Ludong, in the southeast of Hong'an County, it is 800 miles away, it is very far away, and Zhaoning went around for dozens of days before he barely reached the outer jurisdiction of the county government.

On this day, Zhao Ning found a broken temple to rest, the temple has not been renovated for many years, the outer wall collapsed, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, the tables and chairs in the temple fell to the ground, and even the Buddha statues enshrined in the temple were scraped off a layer of gold skin, revealing the black layer.

The sky is getting dark, the clouds are layered, and a rainstorm is coming, the roof of this broken temple is still intact, and it should be able to withstand a gust of wind and rain.

Zhao Ning found a clean place to sit on the ground, closed his eyes and breathed, this wild place is really not safe, Zhao Ning can't enter the house of the silent spirit to cultivate.

The body can't enter the house of the Silent Spirit, this is the conclusion that Zhao Ning has come to in the past few years, just take the time when he was poured into the spirit of the aperture, the seven orifices bleed, the body collapsed, but after entering the House of the Silent Spirit, it was intact, Zhao Ning thought about it later, it should not be the body but the soul that entered.

Taixu Six Spiritual Sources Secret Transmission Qi Determination has reached the third picture, starting with the Yingxiang acupoint, penetrating the nine sharp nose points such as Yingxiang, Heji, and Suji, if you break through the sense of smell, it will be another metamorphosis improvement.

Zhao Ning has faintly perceived, this stage of practicing qi and soul has to be like describing the immortals in the script, the six intestines are clear, the nine tricks are clear, and the dantian is open.

From this point of view, the path of immortal immortality is far away, and it is far from the simplicity that ordinary people think.

Zhao Ning meditated for a while, and the torrential rain poured down, and the rain poured the bricks and tiles overwhelmed, and a few bricks and tiles slipped to the ground, banging, and the rain made people feel worried.

Zhao Ning opened his eyes, staring at the outside of the temple, in addition to the sound of rain in his ears, there were several waves of chaotic footsteps, there was a matter of Shuangya Village in front, Zhao Ning paused, turned around and avoided behind the Buddha statue, this temple has no place to hide, this Buddha statue is wide, high and enshrined, and the pillars on both sides are also perfectly covered, if you don't check it out deliberately, you should not be able to find it.

Zhao Ning swept away the dust around him and meditated cross-legged.

After a while, the gate of the ruined temple was rudely pushed open, and the two staggered in, and as soon as they entered the temple, the people behind them fell on the threshold.

"Master!" The young man in front of him was shocked, and he didn't have time to check the situation of the broken temple, so he hurriedly turned to help the person who fell.

The middle-aged man who fell to the ground vomited a mouthful of blood, the blood was black, and it foamed on the ground, and the man barely grabbed the young man's shoulder, "Quick, go quickly, it's not safe here, that group of people will chase after you soon." ”

Zhao Ning opened her eyes, and really wanted to sigh that it was a coincidence, she actually had some impression of these two voices, they were from the Qingyun Gang, but Zhao Ning didn't want to be related to the Qingyun Gang now, so she closed her eyes again.

"Nope! Master, I can't leave you alone, I'll take you away! Let's go to Nanjing Mansion and go to the master, he will definitely be able to save us. The young man endured his grief and pulled the middle-aged man up, but the middle-aged man was so heavy that he couldn't lift it at all, so the man stopped the young man, "Master is poisoned and can't live." ”

"Nope! I don't believe it! The young man cried bitterly, "This poison will die, but the master is not dead, which means that it can't help the master at all, and I will take the master away." ”

"Ridiculous! Ahem! The middle-aged man coughed violently twice, and a large stream of black blood flowed out of his mouth, "This is the master's life-continuation pill hanging on the life of the teacher, if it weren't for you...... Let's go, Master won't last long. ”

"Master!" The young man shouted, but still refused to leave, and shouted unbearably, "Dad!! ”

But I didn't want to hear another sound outside the temple at this time, crackling, like rain hitting the robe, and like footsteps stepping on a puddle of water, but one thing is certain, someone is approaching.

"Let's go!" The middle-aged man stepped back from the young man, stood up strongly, and staggered to his sword, "Go!" Don't you listen to me! I'll drag that group of people for you, how far you go, don't kill me from the Li family! Walk! ”

"Daddy!!" The young man yelled as he watched Master rush into the heavy rain, wiped away his tears, and rushed out of the back door of the temple in great pain.

Zhao Ning closed his eyes slightly, these two people were members of the Qingyun Gang, Li Xianghong, the manager of the Library Pavilion, and his apprentice Li Wei, but he didn't expect that they were not only masters and apprentices, but also father and son.

Since they entered the door, they smelled the strong smell of Qibu San, no one can survive under this poison, Li Xianghong is still alive and is not the effect of the magic elixir.

Zhao Ning didn't want to get involved, but in the chaos, he couldn't help himself.

Li Xianghong was heavily carried into the broken temple, followed by four black-clothed men with rain hats on their heads and robes masked their faces and blocked the temple gate with swords.

Li Xianghong vomited a mouthful of black blood, and he still held on to prevent himself from falling, but he couldn't stand up after supporting his body over and over again.

"Protector Li is so capable, he can still hang his life after being hit by seven steps." One of the men in black stepped forward with a sword, "You really know the methods of immortals. If Protector Li had cooperated with us before and opened the door of the Li family's ancestral tomb in Jinpeng Mountain, he would not have had to suffer like this. ”

"What's the pain now?" He slapped Steward Li's face with the blade of his sword, "Where did you hide the key!" Say it! ”

Li Xianghong took a mouthful of blood foam and ignored him.

"Don't be hard-mouthed, it's not on you, it's on your apprentice. How far do you think your little apprentice can run, if you don't even care about his life, then ......"

"Bastard!" Lee Sang-hong yelled, "The key is not on us!" I, Li Xianghong, escaped from the Qingyun Gang, how could I put the key on my body, you can't find it. ”

"You!" The black-clothed man was anxious, and he twisted and snorted, "Peel your skin and bones first, and then go to your little apprentice if you can't find it, and see how long you can be hard-mouthed!" ”

He grabbed Li Xianghong's neck, and the long sword was aimed at Li Xianghong's abdomen and was about to stab it, but he didn't want Li Xianghong to spit out a mouthful of blood, but the blood was stained with poison, and the man in black subconsciously avoided it, giving Li Xianghong a chance to escape.

Li Xianghong got up violently and raised his sword, "Go die!" ”

A sword stabbed down, but the man in black was not alone, three swords provoked Li Xianghong's sword at the same time, Li Xianghong's eyes were red, he went crazy when he was dying, his hair was scattered and flying, and holding a sword was a stunt.

"Changhong runs through the sun."

This sword is infinitely imposing, and the sword that came horizontally carried the sword light and bounced away the three black-clothed people, and the black-clothed people did not dare to underestimate it, and resisted with their swords.

Both parties are masters of the rivers and lakes, the competition in the strength of the rush and the inside to the outside explosion, the temple floor in the deterrence of the force, bang all the way to the continuous explosion, until the explosion under the Buddha statue, this Buddha statue is shoddy, by this force of a bomb, exploded into pieces, under the layers of dust and smoke, the condensation is inevitable.

The six spiritual sources of the Taixu Void were secretly circulated, and the dust did not even touch her at all, and her strength was wrapped in a gust of wind, blowing her long hair that was tied up.

The people facing each other on both sides were instantly stunned, and none of them dared to move, and no one noticed that there was a figure hidden behind this Buddha statue, and the appearance of not stirring up dust seemed to be an immortal who had come out of the world.

"Who are you!" The man in black woke up violently, holding his sword and pointing at Zhao Ning.

Li Xianghong opened his mouth and stopped talking.

Zhao Ning raised his eyes, without emotion, "Passerby." ”

The man in black approached step by step with his sword, "You think I believe it?" Whether you are friend or foe, you are in this temple today, don't think about going out safely! ”

As he spoke, a man in black stepped forward and whispered, "This woman seems to be the portrait......"

However, as soon as he said this, Zhao Ning flew by like a shadow, leaving an afterimage around several people in black, and all the people in black couldn't move.

They were pointed.

Zhao Ning knew that the portrait they were talking about was the wanted warrant worth tens of millions of silver.

Even after a year, there are still people who don't want to give up.

Zhao Ning stood in front of Li Xianghong, Li Xianghong was lying on his back, his lips moved and moved, and finally spit out the words "Shen Zhaoning".

From the very beginning, he recognized it.

Zhao Ning was silent, she picked her toes, and the sword on the ground fell into Zhao Ning's hand, Zhao Ning held the sword body and handed the hilt to Li Xianghong.
