Verse 231
Zhao Ning just stood and watched for a while, and didn't linger long, it was enough to feel the atmosphere of the birthday ceremony.
But as soon as Zhao Ning walked not far away, he heard footsteps behind him, "Wait, beautiful sister, you wait a minute." ”
This immature voice is Xiao Lengtong.
Zhao Ning turned her head to take a look, and saw Xiao Lengtong running over with a bunch of wedding gifts for her, and a few red paper cranes flying on the ground, she didn't care much, and of course no disciple dared to pick them up.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Ning squatted down and waited for Xiao Lengtong to approach.
Xiao Lengtong looked at Zhao Ning, "Beautiful sister, are you here to receive the wedding gift?" ”
She blinked at Zhao Ning's empty hand, "Didn't you catch anything?" ”
Zhao Ning looked at the little guy who was indignant a few days ago, and he didn't talk to her like an overnight feud at this time.
So she smiled faintly, "Yes, I can't rob those disciples." ”
Xiao Lengtong sighed, looked at the so many paper cranes in his arms, and said to Zhao Ning very generously, "I can give you half of it." ”
This was changed to Zhao Ning was slightly surprised, Xiao Lengtong thought for a while, "Although I was angry with you a few days ago, we are still good friends." Because, I like pretty little sisters! ”
Xiao Leng Tong smiled brightly, "So I decided not to care about the previous thing." How about it, come with me to dismantle the red paper crane. ”
Zhao Ning seemed to be easily moved by this pure kindness, and saw Xiao Lengtong spread all the paper cranes on the ground in front of him and unfolded one of the red paper cranes.
"What is painted on this red paper crane, and why can I take things out of it?"
"It's a pattern." Zhao Ning told her, "There is a mysterious power hidden in these patterns, and a space the size of a purse can be opened up like this one. ”
Xiao Lengtong didn't seem to understand, "Then can I figure it out?" I want lots and lots of these purses? That's a lot of sugar pills. ”
"Of course you can, there will definitely be this kind of introduction in the Library of the Extreme Cold Palace, you can go and take a look."
As soon as he heard that he was going to study by himself, Xiao Lengtong's face immediately collapsed.
The next moment she pretended not to start the conversation, "Oh, there are still a lot of red paper cranes here, I want sugar pills, it's delicious." ”
The sugar pill in her mouth is the Lingzhi pill, and only Xiao Lengtong can eat the Lingzhi pill as a sugar pill.
Zhao Ning smiled and shook her head, helping her to disassemble all the red paper cranes, there were a lot of things in them, and almost all of them were good things, compared to one, the few spirit stones that Zhao Ning got from the red paper cranes were extremely shabby.
She put everything into the spirit bag and handed it to Xiao Lengtong, "Don't scatter around." ”
Xiao Lengtong said, "I said I'll give you half of it, and besides, we still have a golden crane that hasn't been opened." ”
She held the golden crane, like she wanted to tear the paper crane apart at will.
But Zhao Ning stopped her, "This is the golden crane, it is a colorful head, and there is the blessing of the ancestor on it, you can make a wish to the paper crane, and then open it again,"
"Make a wish?!" As soon as he heard these two words, the little guy immediately stopped moving, and his eyes were even brighter, "Really? Is it okay to make any wishes? Can it all be achievable? ”
It may not be possible to achieve it, but the blessing of Master Zu will indeed make her wish more inclined to the direction she expects in the dark.
Zhao Ning only said to her, "You can try." ”
Xiao Lengtong immediately stopped talking, she said that she folded her hands and clenched her fists under her chin, closed her eyes very seriously, and then Zhao Ning heard her say, "I want to find Daddy!" ”
I didn't expect Xiao Lengtong to say her wish directly, but when it came to it, such a wish made people feel pity, but Xiao Lengtong didn't seem to care at all, and after opening her eyes excitedly, she seemed to open the golden crane, but she hesitated for a moment, and then she handed the golden crane in her hand to Zhao Ning.
"I've already had a lot of gifts, and since you don't want those, I'll give you this golden crane." In Zhao Ning's surprised gaze, Xiao Lengtong said naturally, "And I have already made a wish, I have already obtained the color head of this golden crane, and the contents will be given to you!" ”
Xiao Lengtong stiffly broke away the stunned Zhao Ning's hand, "Take it as a witness of our good friends!" ”
She grinned, especially bright, and then looked to the side, saw a bunch of people coming, took a sharp breath, and ran away.
Zhao Ning held the golden crane in her hand, and she didn't know what to do for a while, she had gotten a lot of things, and returned them to the owner, many times, she returned them without pressure.
But what the little guy had given her to do, she didn't even know how to return it.
At this moment, I saw a few people walking in front of me, it was Xu Xiuming and others, and in front of them was a middle-aged man, Jin Dan Xiuwei, dressed meticulously in a Taoist robe, looking quite serious.
Xiao Lengtong seemed to be scared away by this real person.
Zhao Ning stood up, just as Xu Xiuming and the others noticed him.
"Miss Shen, it's a coincidence, I haven't seen you for a few days, but I actually met here." Xu Xiuming smiled.
Wei Shuo glanced at the golden crane in Zhao Ning's hand, "You actually got the jackpot in the wedding gift, it's not easy, I tried it here a few days ago, but I really didn't have a chance." ”
Zhao Ning said, "I don't have the opportunity to get this golden crane, this golden crane belongs to Xiaotong." ”
At this time, the middle-aged man said, "She gave it to you, so you can keep it." ”
Zhao Ning looked at the middle-aged man, and Xu Xiuming remembered to introduce to Zhao Ning, "At this time, Shangguan Zhenren is the elder in charge of the Heishui River, and he is also Xiaotong's literacy master. ”
No wonder Xiao Lengtong ran so fast, and when he saw the teaching master, he saw a long ring ruler and an unsmiling smile.
"Those who love others will always love them." Shangguan Zhenren's expressionless evaluation.
Zhao Ning smiled and responded.
Shangguan Zhenren didn't say anything more, and stepped forward to leave.
Xu Xiuming greeted Zhao Ning, "We were about to go to the festival with a real person, you missed the last round of the festival, and this time it was just right." ”
Pujas are discursive exchanges between practitioners, which are beneficial to the practice and can even reduce calmness to a certain extent.
Zhao Ning Si and the current cultivation place was banned, so he walked behind them.
Wei Shuo rubbed to Zhao Ning's side, "Miss Shen, we invited you to the last festival, but you didn't come. I heard that you took the token given by Bai Ye Zhenren and entered the Tianchi cultivation place? It was a place where even the foundation building disciples of the Extreme Cold Palace longed to cultivate. ”
He looked at Zhao Ning's eyes with strange and teasing eyes, which made Zhao Ning a little dazed for a moment, and then he lowered his voice and said, "How are you so familiar with Bai Ye's real person, is it just a friendship with elders?" ”
Zhao Ning hadn't figured out the deep meaning from his words, but he heard Shangguan Zhenren in front of him say to Jiang Yao, "The matter of Heishui River is not in a hurry, and when the palace master is busy with the birthday ceremony, the sect master will ask Gao Zhenren to ask for a wishful gourd." Ruyi Qiankun gourd is a medium spiritual treasure, accommodating rivers, as soon as this gourd comes out, placed in the black water breaking array spring, it can take back all the black water. ”
Zhao Ning's heart moved, thinking that this was the solution that Jiang Yao and the others found with Shangguan Zhenren.
"It's just a pity that this wishful gourd is a pity." The meaning of the above official real person, this wishful gourd will stay in the spring to suppress the formation breach, "However, it can be regarded as a cause and effect." The great calamity calculated this time is related to this wishful gourd, and if it is sent back so quietly, it can be regarded as a great luck to be able to solve the great calamity. ”
Shangguan Zhenren's words were something that even Jiang Yao and the others had never heard.
Xu Xiuming asked, "What does this mean by the real person that the Ruyi Qiankun gourd is obtained from the hidden capital?" ”
"Exactly. This wishful gourd was obtained by Gao Zhenren from Youdu hundreds of years ago. Do you see the gourd he usually drinks? The gourd is a sub-gourd of the Ruyi Qiankun gourd, and it can also accommodate the big river, but for example, the Yiqiankun gourd is slightly inferior. Back then, Gao Lao'er waited until this gourd was still showing off in the palace for several days, and this time he wanted to return it, which was simply cutting his heart, but fortunately, the gourd could make up for it. ”
The gourd in his mouth should be the gourd that Xiao Lengtong held in his arms and drank wine before, Zhao Ning listened to Shangguan Zhenren's introduction, and there was a faint wonderful association, which was inferior to a few percent, and it could also be understood as only a few successful effects of the Ruyi Qiankun gourd, which ...... Isn't this the reproduction of yin and yang?
"Miss Shen? Condensation? Suddenly, a voice came from his ears, and Zhao Ning's thoughts were broken, and he turned to look at Wei Shuo beside him.
Wei Shuo said with a smile, "Sure enough, Miss Shen is unfamiliar, or Zhao Ning to let you pay attention." ”
In Zhao Ning's helpless look, Wei Shuo said again, "Are you actually still concerned about the affairs of Heishui River, I have long said that Miss Zhao Ning has a good heart and will not care." This matter, Jiang Yao, this guy is unexpected. ”
Wei Shuo saw that Zhao Ning didn't answer his previous question, and listened attentively to Shangguan Zhenren's words, thinking that Zhao Ning was still thinking about the Heishui River, so he took the initiative to talk to Zhao Ning about their later discussions with Shangguan Zhenren.
"Jiang Daoyou is really pitiful, because he knows some forbidden techniques, he was coerced into the hidden capital by the demon king, and finally escaped, and was chased by the earth servant ghost, but fortunately, he found the heaven and earth ruler on the road of the endless man, and killed the earth servant ghost, but found that the heaven and earth ruler was a trap, a trap used to open the seal of the Heishui River." He sighed as if he had never seen someone as unlucky as Jiang Daoyou.
Seven of these descriptions are true and three are false, Zhao Ning did not expose Jiang Yao at the beginning, and he had already expected Jiang Yao to tamper with the matter, but Zhao Ning was still surprised that Jiang Yao actually admitted that he opened the seal of the Heishui River, but he minimized his responsibility from the perspective of a victim.
There is another point that Zhao Ning has not heard of before.
"Demon King coercion?"
Before Wei Shuo could answer, Jiang Yao turned his head and replied, "Exactly." ”
His expression was calm, calm enough that it seemed that there really was such a thing, and he was just recounting the tragic experience of the past.
"This demon king went deep into the hinterland of the Great Youguo, and then turned into the secluded capital, it seems that he is looking for some kind of Dao Zang."
"I've seen his body, it's a swift bird, and I think it should have come from the outer seas."
Zhao Ning looked stunned, according to Jiang Yao's description, could this demon king be-
Xuanfeng?!
Chapter 190 Xuan Feng went deep into the Great Youguo more than a year ago, captured Jiang Yao and entered the Youdu, and was later freed by Jiang Yao, and then returned to the Beihan Islands and was seriously injured and turned into a prototype, which happened to be picked up by Meng Congyi, and the calculation time was indeed just right.
Speaking of which, Xuanfeng walked on the avenue of yin and yang, and there were also spiritual treasures made by the Dafa of the Yin and Yang rituals in the hidden capital, and I am afraid that there is an inseparable connection between the two.
However, the secluded capital is yin, and there must be a holy place or holy object for the cultivation of the yin and yang avenue, and it is understandable that the Xuanfeng will go to the secluded capital.
After thinking about it, everyone had arrived at the place of the Guanghan Festival, where cultivators from all over Kyushu gathered, low-level monks who came with the sect or family to celebrate their birthdays, most of them were in groups of three or five during the Qi cultivation period or foundation building period, exchanging their experiences on the path of cultivation with each other, and from time to time you could see some monks with slightly abrupt expressions after the exchange.
The Extreme Cold Palace treated these low-level monks with courtesy, and specially sent Shangguan Zhenren to preach for them.
Seeing Shangguan Zhenren appear, all the monks immediately listened to it, and all bowed to Shangguan Zhenren, Shangguan Zhenren's habitual serious expression also eased, and he responded with his chin and ascended to the high seat.
Zhao Ning followed the monks to sit on the white jade platform on both sides.
"The path of cultivation, emphasizing the Taoist heart, and cutting the ordinary road, is actually the prototype of the Taoist heart......" Shangguan Zhenren said slowly.
This is the first time Zhao Ning has listened to a real person explain the words of the Taoist heart, and for a while he sat upright, engrossed, but Shangguan Zhenren seemed to have only introduced it with this word, and then the sermon talked about how to survive the mortal.
Zhao Ning's gaze swept over the monks at the puja, except for some monks who had built the foundation of the Great Perfection, she couldn't tell whether they were practicing the ancient path or the spiritual root avenue, and the rest, with a slight perception, found that almost half of them were spiritual root avenues, which was the choice of the Kyushu monk avenue in Zhao Ning's cognition, but perhaps because of this, most of the monks were a little drowsy and absent when they heard Shangguan Zhenren talk about cutting everything and not talking about anything else.
Some doubts surfaced in his mind, would Shangguan Zhenren really ignore most of the Linggen Dao monks and only explain the ancient path to kill mortals? This is not only inconsistent with the rigorous attitude of real people, but even a little rude.
“…… Cutting everything is the beginning, cutting the heart, cutting the obsession, don't be greedy for the speed of cultivation, and use the secret method of pills to help you live, this is the last word that this seat tells you. ”
But he didn't want to wait until Shangguan Zhenren finished speaking, and he didn't see him talk about other cultivation enlightenments, and even more so, his last sentence seemed to refute the cultivation path of the Linggen Dao.
When the words fell, only listening to the whispers between the monks in the audience, Zhao Ning obviously heard a few doubts, thinking that Shangguan Zhenren must be prejudiced against Linggen Dao, and some people even talked about Shangguan Zhenren's gossip.
"Shangguan Zhenren originally practiced the Spirit Root Dao, but later he had obviously practiced Qi Da Perfection, but he directly dispersed his cultivation for decades and rebuilt the ancient path, he is a strange person."
"That must be Shangguan Zhenren's spiritual root is not good, practice to the great perfection of Qi training, and find that the spiritual power is mixed, no matter how much you practice, it is difficult to build a foundation, so I ......"
"Well, you're wrong. Shangguan Zhenren entered the Extreme Cold Palace with the capital of a pseudo-single spirit root back then, and became the leader of the generation of disciples in the Extreme Cold Palace. ”
"Indeed, I have also heard the elders of the clan talk about the situation of Shangguan Zhenren back then, and he is indeed a genius of the Linggen Dao."
“……”
The monks didn't understand the choice of Shangguan Zhenren, but most of them were from big sects or big families, and they just gossiped a few words at will, and they didn't dare to speculate and slander more.
At this time, the ancient monk who had just listened carefully had already opened his mouth to ask a question.
"Shangguan Zhenren said that cutting Fan is the prototype of the Dao Heart, but I have cut Fan, but I have not yet found my own Dao. Whether or not this is for me has not been completely successful. ”
"Definitely." Shangguan Zhenren, "If you can find your own Dao so easily, why do so many monks collapse in the middle of the Dao, the Dao Heart is only manifest when you cut the mortal, and when you wait for the Golden Pill, you will understand what your Dao Heart is." ”
Zhao Ning listened to Shangguan Zhenren's explanation, and unconsciously thought about herself, what was her Dao heart when she was beheading?
