Nine Dead South Desolate Souls Return Chapter 129: A long battle of wits and courage

The room was lit with a light and a faint light, Ning Xiaoling tiptoed in, sensing that there were shallow traces of sword qi in the room, she turned her head and saw her senior brother meditating alone on the bed, sitting upright, with a solemn expression, as if she didn't notice her arrival.

Ning Xiaoling breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself that now that my realm is high, my senior brother can't even find himself.

She pursed her lips and smiled, she was a little more confident in her Dao Gate Concealment Technique, she turned around and gently closed the door, and then walked to the senior brother's side, looking at the senior brother's face when he was concentrating on cultivation, and felt that the senior brother should be much different from the immortal in the feather coat and star crown in that story.

She was just a little strange, obviously there were futons for disciples to meditate in each room, why did the senior brother sit on the bed and practice, huh...... This quilt is still a little messy, and my brother obviously loves to be clean and tidy.

Although she felt a little weird, Ning Xiaoling didn't think about it so much, she carefully sat down beside her senior brother, and after a while, Ning Xiaoling patted him on the shoulder and said crisply: "Senior brother!"

Ning Chang's body moved, he quickly opened his eyes, glanced at the girl beside him in surprise, and looked stunned: "Xiaoling, why are you here, when did you come, I don't know if I will meet Senior Brother." ”

Ning Xiaoling smiled, revealing her snow-white small teeth, she lowered her voice and said, "Now I can't see my senior brother a few times all day, and I am not allowed to come to see you?"

Ning Changchang said: "This is not in line with the rules of the sect." ”

Ning Xiaoling snorted lightly: "Then why don't you take my key away?" Isn't this a clear implication that I came to see you secretly?"

"......" Ning Changjiu said helplessly: "I forgot." ”

Ning Xiaoling didn't believe it, and said: "You also said that you forgot the master's hairpin last time, and this time you also said that you forgot it, I see, the senior brother did it on purpose." ”

Ning Changjiu sighed and said, "If Senior Sister is found out like this, it will not be good. ”

Ning Xiaoling clasped her hands around her chest and said proudly: "I am now on a higher level of Dao Sect Concealment Technique, Sister Yazhu will definitely not be able to find me, as for Master...... It's even more impossible to know. ”

"Hmm......" Ning Changjiu replied, "In the future, senior sister will return the key to me." ”

Ning Xiaoling clutched the key in her hand and said nervously, "Senior brother...... Are you serious?"

Ning Chang looked at her pitiful eyes, and couldn't bear it, so he had to say, "If Xiaoling is discovered, it will also make it difficult for the master." ”

Ning Xiaoling looked at him with a frown, and said, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you, you usually don't call you to marry Master Master in private." ”

"Is there ......?"

"Yes!" Ning Xiaoling looked at him strangely and said: "Senior brother, what are you afraid of, with our current realm, it must be foolproof, marrying the master will definitely not be able to find out, and what can I do if I find out, the master is cold and fierce on the surface, in fact, she is softer than anyone else, when the time comes, I will apologize seriously, and then ask for a few words softly, she will definitely not be willing to scold me, I have never been beaten by the master's board, she hurts me." ”

"......" Ning Chang looked at her with pity and said, "It's better not to embarrass Master." ”

Ning Xiaoling looked at Senior Brother with a strange expression, leaned in with him, and said, "Senior Brother, you are so strange today, is there something to hide from me?"

Ning Changjiu smiled and said, "What else can I hide from my young age?"

Ning Xiaoling hummed softly, her body stepped back, but her eyes kept staring at him, and she said indignantly: "Senior brother must have a secret." ”

Ning Chang said: "I just hope that Xiao Ling can practice with peace of mind. ”

Ning Xiaoling pursed his lips and said, "But Xiaoling has already reached the realm of immortals, and if he cultivates again, he will be the same as Uncle Yazhu, and if he cultivates for a while, he will be on a par with the master, and he will cultivate for a while...... Well, if my realm surpasses Master, it won't be good, I'd better slack off. ”

"Hey, so what are you doing here, Xiaoling, and Senior Brother are showing off in the Xuan Realm?" Ning Chang sighed.

Ning Xiaoling said: "I'm here to talk to Senior Brother." ”

Ning Chang said: "Wouldn't it be possible to relieve boredom by chatting more with your senior brothers and sisters during the day?"

Ning Xiaoling shook her head and said, "They have been surrounding me, chattering about Linhe City, and I have a dry mouth, and I can't even drink saliva, especially that little sister Le Rou...... Alas. ”

Ning Changjiu then remembered the little girl who often tried to play tricks on herself a month ago, and then backfired, and said: "The disciples in the peak are all good teachers and helpful friends, and the junior sister should look at their advantages more, such as Na Le Rou, who has the quality of perseverance." ”

Ning Xiaoling stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him, and said, "Senior brother, have you gone wrong in your cultivation, or don't you like your junior sister......

Ning Chang habitually rubbed her head and smiled, "How could it be." ”

"That's good. Ning Xiaoling smiled: "Then I'll come to play with my senior brother every day in the future, okay?"

Ning Changchang said: "Senior sister is so arrogant, if you really let the master know......"

Ning Xiaoling interrupted: "Then let her play together, anyway, we are so familiar, it's okay." ”

Ning Changjiu took a slight breath, looking at the innocent face of the girl who was sitting on the edge of the bed casually with her thighs pressed, her eyes were suddenly full of sympathy, and he said softly: "What nonsense is the little girl talking about." ”

Ning Xiaoling seemed to understand what was going on all of a sudden, snorted, and said, "Oh, I understand, Senior Brother only likes Sister Xiang'er, right...... If you have a fiancΓ©e, you don't want a sister. ”

Ning Chang said: "What nonsense, how can I like that dead girl." ”

Ning Xiaoling sneered: "Senior brother is still pretending, to Sister Xiang'er, you can't fight back and scold or fight back, and when you are with her, you are also trembling, for fear of upsetting her, it is different with me, how long has it been since just now, and you have secretly issued a few eviction orders?"

Ning Chang sighed: "Mainly because I can't beat her." ”

Ning Xiaoling held her face and said, "So, senior brother is the most useless, he can only bully and bully junior sister, well, junior sister is really pitiful."

......”

As he spoke, Ning Xiaoling's body fell down and rolled directly onto Ning Changchang's bed.

Ning Changchang's heart froze, and his body immediately pressed up, blocking Ning Xiaoling's sight with his upper body.

This move made Ning Xiaoling also stunned, she hugged her arms and said nervously: "Senior brother, what do you want to do?"

Ning Chang said bitterly, and pretended to be gentle on his face: "What my senior sister said is that my senior brother takes less care of you on weekdays, and although Linhe City had to do it before, it also made my junior sister put herself in danger, these things often haunt my heart these days, and make me feel very guilty." ”

Listening to Ning Changchang's soft words, Ning Xiaoling, who had always been afraid of soft and hard, looked at him with wide eyes, and said, "It's okay, you and Sister Xiang'er paid so much at that time, of course Xiaoling must also have a role...... Senior brother, don't blame yourself. ”

Ning Changjiu helped her brush the hair on her forehead and said, "It's good that senior sister can think like this." ”

As he spoke, he held her shoulders and wanted to pull her up from the bed, but Ning Xiaoling refused to get up, her nose fluttered, and she said softly: "Senior brother, why do you have a faint fragrance here, this fragrance is somewhat familiar......

Ning Changjiu immediately interrupted her words and said, "Maybe it's the fragrance of flowers on the placket, recently in late winter and early spring, there have been a lot of snow cherry blossoms on Tianguo Peak, and today Senior Brother went to enjoy the flowers." ”

"Oh......" Ning Xiaoling said disappointedly: "Senior brother doesn't call me for flower appreciation." ”

Ning Changchang smiled and said, "I'll go with Xiaoling tomorrow...... Get up from my bed first. ”

Ning Xiaoling grabbed the soft sheets, rolled over, and said, "Senior brother, you are so close to me, how can I get up?"

Ning Changchang forced a smile, he gently pressed Ning Xiaoling's shoulder, and said, "Don't make trouble, I'll help my junior sister up, obedient." ”

Ning Xiaoling said unhappily: "Sister Xiang'er occupied your room for a month, why don't you say a word? I just want to lie down for a while, but Senior Brother won't let me, well, Senior Brother is really also a bully and afraid of the hard!"

Regarding Ning Xiaoling's evaluation, he didn't dare to refute anything at the moment, and echoed: "It's really senior brother's fault, Xiaoling, you get up first, senior brother is a little tired, I want to go to bed early, I'll accompany Xiaoling more tomorrow, okay?"

Finally, after a stiff tug, Ning Changjiu pulled her up from the bed, he silently breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Senior sister, don't be so willful in the future, okay?"

Ning Xiaoling didn't feel that she was willful, she said angrily: "I just persuaded me with good words, and I promised everything, and now that I'm up, you teach me again, hum, senior brother is too much!"

Ning Chang knew that he was speechless, and wanted to say something to make up for it, but Ning Xiaoling didn't say a word, and lay back again, and the back of his head slammed on the pillow.

Ning Chang's heart was not good, and she was about to press and block her vision again, but after Ning Xiaoling experienced a brief dizziness from the back of her head hitting the pillow, her eyes were immediately attracted by something, her eyes widened, and she looked ahead, at the top of the bed frame, there was a black shadow!

"Ahh

Ning Chang wanted to cover her mouth, but it was too late.

Ning Xiaoling then understood why Senior Brother was so abnormal today, she hadn't seen clearly who the black-robed man was, her brain was already running rapidly, she quickly came up with the "truth", and exclaimed: "Senior Brother, you are actually a prostitute!"

Ning Changchang covered her mouth and said, "Don't scream, what a prostitute, this is ......"

Before Ning Changjiu's voice fell, a voice suddenly came from outside the door:

"Don't shout at night!"

It was Yazhu's scolding.

After the scolding, Uncle Yazhu still seemed to be a little worried, she took out the spare key, and began to open the door in a stagger.

Ning Changjiu and Ning Xiaoling glanced at each other, and they could see the panic in each other's eyes.

The door quickly opened.

Yazhu walked in from outside the door and saw Ning Changjiu sitting at the table, looking at the moon in the sky, singing something in his throat.

He stopped singing after seeing Yazhu, and said in surprise: "Uncle Yazhu, why are you here, is it that I just sang too loudly......

Yazhu looked around, and finally her eyes fell on Ning Changjiu's body, she wondered if the woman's voice she heard just now was his singing voice?

Yazhu frowned and said, "What kind of song do you sing at night?"

Ning Chang cleared his throat and said: "Before, in Linhe City, I met a singer, the singer sang a song before she died, I don't know the name, but the song is sad and moving, lingering in my heart for a long time, today I saw that the night was clear, the breeze was coming, and suddenly this matter sounded, and I couldn't help but recall the desolate appearance of the singer falling downstairs under the moon, and I couldn't help but hum a song from my heart, which can be regarded as a memorial to the poor woman." ”

Ning Changjiu finished speaking this speech smoothly, and looked at Yazhu sincerely, with a bit of sadness in his eyes, three points of faintness and six points of faint thoughts, Ning Changjiu was already delicate, and his eyes were like this at the moment, even if Yazhu was a woman, he couldn't help but soften his heart a lot when he saw this look.

She sighed softly: "I don't know what kind of song it is, so much so that you miss it so much?"

Ning Chang pinched his throat and sang, the voice was really a little feminine, and his voice trembled lightly, and there seemed to be ten thousand styles:

"The winter wind blows the velvet boat to drink, and the half boat of ice and snow is alone. Twilight is like washing red. The old country dreamed back then, and who did the hatred ...... with The evening breeze blows into the flower pond, and we meet hand in hand with the lotus boat. Luo skirt turned over the wine hairpin around the head. Fanghua is empty like a dream, and the lonely flower island is lonely. ”

The young man's voice was very thin, and his body sang and danced in the night with the lyrics and songs, as if he was not empty, just like a young woman in the attic who shook her sleeves and moved, and her singing voice was poignant, with the grace of a noble son and the desolation of wealth and loneliness.

Listening to this, Yazhu couldn't help but think of some of the past, sad in his heart, believed Ning Chang's words, and said, "That should be a poor woman...... I usually see that you have a weak temperament, and I never thought that you would have such a delicate mind. ”

Ning Changjiu didn't know that the Qinglou woman, who was forgotten by the whole world, sang this song and walked into the light at the last moment of her life.

Ning Chang nodded and said, "Disturb the teacher."

Uncle, I'm really sorry for a long time, I'll be lighter in the future. ”

Yazhu looked around again, and after making sure that there was no one else, he nodded and said, "Well, you are the peak master's grace to stay here, if this is the case in the future, I will have to tell the peak master about this." ”

Ning Changchang said: "Yes, if the master punishes me at that time, I will accept it completely." ”

Seeing that he had a good attitude, Yazhu didn't embarrass him anymore, looked around again, and finally walked out of the door.

Above the door closed, Ning sat back in his chair for a long time, his sleeves hanging down widely, and his expression looked like he had gone through several hard battles and was full of exhaustion.

At the top of the bed frame, Lu and Ning Xiaoling, who were hiding, finally let go.

Ning Xiaoling was shocked, she sat on the bed, looked nervously at the woman in black robe in front of her, and said in a low voice: "Master...... Master, what's ...... Why are you, why are you in my brother's room, I ......"

Lu married and had an idea in her heart, she didn't plan to give Ning Xiaoling a chance to ask questions, and said: "I have something to discuss with Ning Changchang, besides, as a teacher, he is the master of this peak, of course he is unrestrained wherever he goes, but you, Xiaoling, why did you come to Senior Brother's room, huh? I don't remember the rules?"

"I ...... I ......" Ning Xiaoling panicked, she pinched the corners of her skirt, rubbed it repeatedly, and said in a low voice: "I...... How do you know that Master is here? ”

Lu married's voice was cold and majestic, and said, "If I hadn't been here tonight, I'm afraid I'd never know what Xiao Ling said about me behind my back." ”

Ning Xiaoling was so frightened that she forgot what Fang Cai had said, and she confessed her mistake and said, "Woo...... Master has a broad mind and a large number of people, Xiaoling Tong Yan Wuji, Master must not take it to heart, I ...... I...... Well, it's all my fault, and my brother won't tell me, what's there to hide from these little things, and I won't say it......"

Ning Chang was shocked, thinking that he had sacrificed so much, why did he finally come full circle and put it on his head?

He didn't want to explain anymore, and cast a look of help at the landing dowry.

After all, Lu married and relied on Ning Changjiu's innate spirit hammer to forge the sword body, so she also turned to him, she knocked Ning Xiaoling's head and said, "Do you dare to talk back?

Ning Xiaoling was startled again when she saw that her master was so serious today, shook her head and said in a low voice, "No...... I don't know. ”

Lu married and didn't know it himself, and there was no such thing in the door rules.

But she still said with a cold face: "Nian is a first-time offender, spare you once, and if you dare to do this again in the future, don't blame the master for being ruthless." ”

Ning Xiaoling nodded again and again.

Lu Yu's expression softened a little, she touched Ning Xiaoling's head, and said earnestly: "Xiaoling, now you are also a cultivator, although our Sword Heavenly Sect does not pay attention to ruthless Dao, but the path of cultivation still needs to be distracted, and you can't always read family love, otherwise it will be difficult for a sword heart to be clear, Xiaoling, understand?"

Ning Xiaoling continued to nod.

Lu was relieved to marry, and instructed: "No one is allowed to tell tonight's incident, remember?"

Ning Xiaoling nodded a little dizzy, and agreed: "Don't worry, Xiaoling is measured, this will be the secret of Xiaoling and Master alone in the future! If Master really can't trust me, you can use the Dao method to erase Xiaoling's memory." ”

Lu married and said: "This is the forbidden evil art in the peak, where will the master be, in short, Xiao Ling will be tight-lipped in the future." ”

"Hmm!" Ning Xiaoling nodded, but still had doubts in her heart, and muttered softly: "That...... Master, what are you doing here?"

Lu was stunned for a moment, she thought to herself that she was still too soft-hearted, so she should scold all the way, so that Ning Xiaoling didn't dare to open her mouth.

Ning Changchang, who was lying bored on the side, said: "Today, the master expounded the theory of the sixteen tricks of the sword in the sword hall, and I think what the master said is not quite right, so I made an appointment to discuss this matter in the evening. ”

Ning Xiaoling remembered the content of Lu Marriage's lecture in the morning, and said curiously: "Is what Master said wrong?"

Lu was also curious, but she didn't show it, just looked at Ning Changjiu calmly, as if the two had discussed it for a long time and came to a result.

Ning Changchang said: "There are seventy-two tricks in life, and all the tricks can produce swords, and it is said that the sixteen tricks of the sword are just because ordinary cultivators only have those sixteen tricks that are strong enough to make the spiritual power gush out at a faster speed after passing through the tricks, but the real cultivators are not confined to these, the seventy-two tricks roar at the same time, and the sword qi is full of the same light as the sun and the moon, and the heaven and the earth are the same color, this kind of scene is the real high place of the sword." ”

If it was in the past, she would never believe in this statement, but now her sword spirit body is more and more in line with her body, she uses herself as a sword at the moment, with sword intent, and can even bypass the trick when cutting the sword qi, this kind of unbelievable move is still possible, and the seventy-two tricks may not be false!

Ning Xiaoling didn't doubt Senior Brother, and said, "Senior Brother is really knowledgeable. ”

Ning Changjiu nodded lightly, his eyes fell on Lu Zun, and said, "There are still many fallacies in the Sword Sutra, and I can discuss them with my master more in the future." ”

This is to imply that she will come every night from now on.

Lu married's ears were slightly red, she straightened her clothes, her expression was solemn, and she said: "No need, you can say it in the sword hall if you have something in the future, today is an exception, and it can't be like this in the future." ”

She said, then looked at Ning Xiaoling, who was huddled on the bed, spread her hand, and said, "Xiaoling, hand over the key." ”

Ning Xiaoling cried with a sad face, clutched the key in his hand, and begged softly: "Master-father-"

Lu married but was not soft-hearted at all, and said: "Count to three, if you don't give it to me again, you will go to the Sword Hall tonight to receive the punishment." ”

In the end, Ning Xiaoling obediently handed over the key in his hand.

Lu Married put away the key and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, tonight's twists and turns made her a little dizzy.

Lu Zhan looked at Ning Changjiu, who was sitting in front of the window, and said, "Well, then that's it for tonight, Xiaoling, I'll send you back to the house, and I should also go back to the main hall of the peak." ”

Ning Xiaoling shook her head and cautiously proposed, "Master, you see that we finally got together tonight, or ...... Something fun?"
