Verse 399

But I heard that Leng Shuang gave her a seemingly reasonable but cruel answer.

"There are always people who are the first to do it."

He practiced the exercises of Yuyu Jiuzhongtian when it was not yet chaotic, and spent three thousand years in Shixu safely, he knew the secret of Shixu, knew the predicament of Kyushu, knew the covetousness of Jiuzhou, he was able to save Kun from fire and water, he could bear the evil words of Qingxiao Sect alone, and he could feel the struggle of the entire Kyushu, no one would be more suitable than him. Even if it's you, Zhao Ning, it's not suitable. ”

Zhao Ning knew, of course she knew, she couldn't be like Uncle Shi, she was still cold and ruthless as a child in her bones, but everything was covered up under the coldness.

Even Zhao Ning herself didn't know if she could do it so simply when things touched her one day and asked her to sacrifice.

The hand hidden in the sleeve clenched into a fist.

She looked at Leng Shuanglong, took a few steps back, as if she hadn't heard the previous words, and said, "Now that these aliens who don't fit in have been dealt with, Zhao Ning will no longer disturb Venerable Shuanglong, and I still want to find the real Zhuzhou people and find the whereabouts of Feifeng Lingyan." Leave. ”

With that, Zhao Ning turned around and left.

And Leng Shuang Long was still standing in place, quietly looking at Zhao Ning's back.

"Silly boy, there are some things that are just for you, and when it really comes to that time, all reason is fragile, and all actions come from nature, and your nature is never a cold eye. Maybe no one told you that it was sinister, and you willingly stepped in. ”

"I just, just don't want you to be a part of it."

She closed her eyes, as if she saw the days when Zhao Ning nested in the frozen hall and talked stories and painted and played with Xiao Tong'er.

Zhao Ning stayed away from the town, which became terrifying in an instant, and she didn't know how long she had been flying, until she landed on the top of a mountain, and it was a gentle red that implicated her consciousness.

She seemed to realize something, slowly walked to the edge of the cliff, looked down, but saw that there were endless mangroves below, one after another Sangming trees, the sun was scattered on Sangming, the canopy was hooked, as if extending a light veil like mist, and it was like the red glow at sunset covering Sangming.

- The best-looking Sang Ming is far, far away, and will be covered with red glow and starlight.

Almost unconsciously, Zhao Ning stepped into the mulberry forest, she looked up at the red leaves in her eyes, and saw the breeze wrapped in the red leaves falling.

She reached out to take it, and the red leaves fell in the palm of her hand, but they didn't seem to be as agile as the red leaves in the mangrove courtyard.

The ground is covered with red leaves, and with every step you take, you can hear the sound of the leaves crackling on it, which is very crisp, but also unexpectedly noisy.

Zhao Ning thought, it may not be in the middle of the night, not in the moment when the stars are shining.

But in the middle of the night, the stars filled the sky, even the moon retreated, and the starlight sprinkled on the mangroves one after another, but it still did not bring such peace of mind.

Zhao Ning was silent, and left the mangrove forest without the slightest nostalgia.

Chapter 256

A few days later, Zhao Ning found the people of Zhuzhou in a mountain forest, they were not wearing a red robe, but very ordinary clothes, the only difference from the outside world is that when the full moon rises, they will set up an altar and worship the full moon, but it is not an incomprehensible worship, it is like sacrificing the ancestors, it is very ordinary and ordinary.

Zhao Ning stood on the high branch, and no one noticed her figure, This group of Zhuzhou native cultivators, the highest cultivation did not surpass Jin Dan.

She silently waited for the group of people to end the sacrifice, and the old man on the altar turned to the clansmen and said, "The world is already in chaos, and only by keeping the light and cultivating obscurity can we avoid the chaos and stop intersecting with other clansmen."

The clansmen responded very respectfully.

The old man nodded, waving his hand at them, "Let's all go back and cultivate well." Just as this period of time is God's test for us. ”

"Yes."

The tribesmen answered again, slowly stood up, and left in turn.

Only a few and a half children hesitated and didn't leave, and simply asked, "Grandpa, can't even contact the people who return to the valley?"

The old man was very fond of the children, and he walked down slowly with his cane, and raised his hand as if to touch the children's heads, but the children's height was already close to him, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Xiao Ye, grandpa knows that you are friends with a few children in Fenghui Valley, but they are now completely chaotic, and grandpa doesn't want you to bring chaos back to the clan."

The child is still naΓ―ve, "Is it because they failed in Kunxu and were given up by their god?" But didn't they bring in a new God? The strange 'gods' who can be resurrected anytime and anywhere? ”

"Nonsense!" Suddenly, the old man was furious, "That group is just a group of outsiders who destroyed our Zhuzhou, they never treat us as people, they only treat us as puppets with pitiful thinking, even if they are killed, they can be reassembled and brought back to life, this group of outsiders, you still regard them as gods!" ”

He spoke so impatiently that he coughed violently as soon as he finished speaking.

"I'm sorry grandpa, it's because we're ignorant, we shouldn't be angry with you."

The old man coughed for a while before he slowed down, raised his hand and waved.

"It's okay, it's grandpa who is in a hurry." After the old man calmed down, he said earnestly, "Kyushu is so big, there may be many things that are beyond common sense and even treacherous, sometimes we have to accept it, and sometimes we have to stop it, because once we don't stop it, we don't know if it will become the next West Pole Demon Desolation, children, do you understand?" ”

The half-grown child didn't understand why they were so connected, and just muttered to themselves, "It turns out that they will cause the West Pole Demon Wilderness......"

The old man shook his head, knowing that he couldn't explain anything to these children, and many things might just be a slight deviation, but with the blessing of time, they would gradually magnify like a snowball, until finally they became a threat similar to the Western Pole Demon Desolation.

"You ...... Let's go back. The old man didn't want to say more, "Just listen to grandpa, don't run around anymore." ”

"Oh...... Oh. ”

The half-grown children pouted, looked at each other, took each other's hands and left.

After the children left, the old man covered his mouth and coughed again.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard footsteps from his side, and the old man was stunned, and even the sound of coughing was suppressed.

He turned his eyes and saw the fairy who he thought was strange standing beside him.

His eyes widened sharply, and he hesitated for a long time before he could hold back a few words, "You...... You ......"

Zhao Ning looked at him, "I didn't mean to disturb, but I heard the old gentleman talking to the children, and I couldn't help but come out and ask a question or two." ”

The old man was well-informed, and even if his aura was restrained, he seemed to sense something, and turned to kneel down, because the old man's movements were extremely stiff.

Zhao Ningxu raised his hand, and the breeze blew around the old man, "No need to be polite." ”

The old man clenched his cane in both hands, and his body tilted slightly, looking extremely nervous.

He said in a hoarse voice, "The fairy is a real person or a Venerable Master from other cultivation realms. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Ning simply responded, turned his head to look at the ordinary altar, and asked, "Which ancient god is the old man worshipping?" ”

"I didn't ...... No. He said, "It's just a tribute to the ancestors of our Youyue Clan." ”

Zhao Ning turned his eyes to look at him, this glance was full of disbelief.

But the old man explained very calmly, "Zhuzhou decades ago was not as depressed as it is now, at that time, Zhuzhou and other cultivation realms were the same, there were Yuan Infant powers, countless Qi cultivation juniors, and countless powerless cultivators who awakened the Inhuman Talent, but, in the past few decades, for some reason, the great powers have sat and sitted, the stagnation of cultivation, and the awakening of Inhuman Talent has been constantly counterattacked, until now, Zhuzhou seems to have become a dead land." ”

Zhao Ning's expression did not change in the slightest, and only asked, "Old man, don't you really know why?" ”

The old man paused, "I know, because of Kunxu's matter, the reincarnation of cause and effect, the curse has finally come." ”

But then the old man seemed to have accumulated years of unwillingness and anger, he raised his crutches and kept knocking on the ground, "However, this is all caused by the group of red robes in the Wind Back Valley, what does it have to do with our Youyue Clan, why should we be so implicated." ”

Zhao Ning just said indifferently, "Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are dogs." β€œ

The old man closed his eyes suddenly, and then said, "I know, in fact, we all know that it is to punish us for inaction. ”

"Back then, Fenghui Valley convened all the people of the red-robed forces in Zhuzhou to discuss secretly, and it just so happened that several of our Youyue Clan were also in Fenghui Valley, heard their deliberations, and saw them worship the sky, after that, the shadow of the Nine Heavens faintly appeared in the sky, and then a figure was projected on the altar, telling them that as long as they could complete the things he explained, they would be able to take them to Jiuzhou."

Zhao Ning's fingertips trembled, confirming that it was "Jiuzhou" and not "Kyushu" in the context.

"Yes, everyone in Zhuzhou knows Jiuzhou." There was no need to ask for anything, and the old man replied on his own, "No one knows the root of the West Pole Demon Desolation better than us in Zhuzhou, and we have also collected most of the maps of Jiuzhou that they have mastered, and no one can naively think that Kyushu is only so big in the presentation of most of the Kyushu maps." Since then, all the people of Zhuzhou have begun to close themselves off. Maybe some people are really in a damaged state of mind, and maybe some people think that the ignorant cultivators on the outside are too ridiculous, and they have been closed off for nearly 10,000 years. ”

"It's just that none of us thought that in 10,000 years, after those newborn little guys grew up, they didn't experience the struggle and hesitation of the time when the truth was revealed, but the seeds of resistance and rebellion began to germinate gradually, until the red robes in Fenghui Valley listened to the explanation of the strange figure, causing the chaos in Kunxu, and then it stopped again."

"It is precisely because we know that their actions are against the Tao and against human nature, but we still choose to stand by and protect ourselves, that we are implicated."

When the words fell, they seemed to be silent for a long time.

Until Zhao Ning muttered, "Did it really stop?" ”

The old man paused, and suddenly knelt down with a thud, "Fairy, fairy, the old man knows that you must be very capable, please send that group of outsiders away, this group of guys who regard everything as child's play will cause trouble after all, they think they are just playing, but the chaos and cause and effect they cause are borne by us Zhuzhou, Zhuzhou is also a part of Kyushu, we dare not ...... Don't dare to be as cold as before. ”

Zhao Ning looked at him with low eyes, and didn't tell him that the matter had actually been solved by Cold Frost, she just looked at the old man indifferently and burst into tears.

She even wanted to question a little, when they knew that Zhuzhou's red robe would cause chaos in Kunxu, had they ever thought about whether Kunxu's people would be involved in calamity and cause and effect.

"I'm just a casual cultivator." Zhao Ning said indifferently with his hands behind his back, "I don't have the ability to shatter the void, let alone where to send them. ”

"Immortal...... Fairy ......"

The old man looked up in despair, his lips trembling, and the rest of the pleading voices were forced back.

I only heard Zhao Ning say, "If you want to solve all this, you shouldn't be tied up in the mountains and forests, waiting for others to ask for help." Those who save people will always save them. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Ning pulled out the corner of his clothes that was being dragged by the old man inch by inch, turned around and disappeared in front of him.

The old man howled in place for a long time, so long that a few half-grown children who had not gone far seemed to hear the sound, and after a few entanglements, they ran back.

When he found the old man lying on the ground in pain, he was shocked, "Grandpa, grandpa, what's wrong with you." ”

The old man coughed violently a few times, and it took a long time to wipe away his tears, "No...... It's okay, grandpa just knew for a moment that he had made a big mistake. ”

Several children didn't understand, and one said, "Grandpa, you are the most respected elder of our Youyue Clan, how could you make a mistake, it must be that you are thinking too much, or someone is talking nonsense!" ”

The old man barely pulled out a smile, patted his head, and walked forward tremblingly on crutches, he was not when Shouyuan was approaching, and he also had cultivation in his body, this kind of action was completely affected by the tremor of his mind.

"Grandpa, where are you going?" A couple of half-grown children caught up with them.

"Go to the clan, call all the adults in the clan, let's ......" he bit the last two words very hard, "Go home!" ”

A child's eyes widened with excitement, "Are you back in Lingyu Town?!" We really want to go back! ”

"Yes!"

"But isn't it occupied by some unprovoked fellows?" The bigger child has worries in his heart.

But the old man said, "If you can't mess with it again, you will mess with it today!" We cultivators are still afraid of their vain shelves! ”

The momentum that erupted at this moment made several children become enthusiastic in an instant, and the doubts and worries just now were instantly forgotten, and then they even ran directly past the old man to the clan.

As he ran, he shouted, "Go home." Grandpa is going to take us home. ”

Until the adults in the clan gathered around the old man, this group of people would not be as innocent and innocent as children, and when everyone came, they brought their own magic weapons, talismans, secret treasures and other things at the bottom of the box.

The excited children were driven back to their clan instead, and they kept them waiting.

Without the noise of the children, everyone's face was full of confusion and fear.

"Old Chen, why...... Why do we have to arrange it like this all of a sudden, aren't we hiding in the mountains and forests? ”

"That's right, Elder Chen, as long as we wait for these outsiders to break into Yangzhou, the power of Yangzhou will find out about the abnormality sooner or later, and when the time comes, they will help us solve these outsiders."

"Shut up." The old man shouted, but his pace of progress did not stop, "What if they found out and did not choose to deal with the outsiders, but banned the entire Zhuzhou?" What will you do to isolate us from Kyushu with outsiders? ”

The few people in the rear who had just questioned seemed to lose their voices for a moment.

And the old man seemed to be about to pick everything apart, "You also saw that group of outsiders, like a group of locusts, even more crazy than locusts, don't care about death, don't need to rest, don't care about etiquette, righteousness and shame, everything is just for their own frolic and fun, and they are banned in a realm, and the space we live in will soon be eaten away by them little by little, and in the end, there is no square inch for us to stand in Zhuzhou, and even if we want to escape, we can't break through the ban, we can only stagger until we grow old!" ”
