The little girl sat on the bow of the boat, crying profusely.

She was wearing a cotton jacket but was wet by the sea, and at the moment the cotton jacket was even more frozen in the cold wind, and it seemed to be wearing a body of ice slag. She wore a whip to the sky, her white and tender little hands held on to the wooden wall of the ship's side, and her face was red from the cold and looked a little baby fat.

After seeing Ning Changjiu, she hugged Ning Changjiu's thigh as if she had met a loved one, raised her head with tears in her eyes, and kept shouting Daddy Daddy.

Ning Chang looked down at her, and was a little overwhelmed for a while.

Lu Married walked to his side, squatted down, looked at this poor little girl, took out a towel and wiped her face, she raised her head and glanced at Ning Changchang, and said, "It's a futile out, I didn't expect you to plant it outside." ”

Ning Chang sighed, he also squatted down, touched the little girl's head, and said softly: "Which child are you? ”

The little girl hugged his thigh tightly and didn't let go, and rubbed her tearful little face on his trouser leg: "Daddy...... Woo woo, Daddy...... Don't leave me alone. ”

"I'm not your daddy. Ning Chang said bitterly, wanting to rub away the little hand she was holding her.

"Woo...... Woo, you're my daddy. "The little girl will not let go.

Lu Marry looked at the appearance of this child, felt pity, she was also suspicious in her heart, looked at Ning Changjiu, and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

Ning Chang rubbed his forehead and said helplessly, "What do you want me to explain?"

Lu married and said: "No matter what, you still tell the truth, if there are extenuating circumstances, I ...... Understandable. ”

Ning Chang looked at Lu Marry's serious eyes, and sighed: "My evaluation just now is really not wrong. ”

"What is the evaluation?" Lu was slightly stunned.

Of course, Ning Changjiu wouldn't say those four words to beg for a beating, he explained seriously: "You see how this little child is six or seven years old, I have only been in the Southern Wilderness Boundary City for two years, how can I give birth to such a big child?"

Lu Marry's eyes narrowed, and he thought seriously for a while, thinking that this was indeed the case, why didn't he think of it just now.

But for the sake of face, of course, she is unwilling to admit such a low-level mistake.

"Then explain why your children are so old. Lu married.

Ning Chang looked at Lu Marrying and was quite unreasonable, speechless.

Ning Chang looked at the little girl and said patiently: "Take a closer look, am I a father?"

The little girl was crying by the side of the boat, wiping her tears, she raised her head, looked at Ning Chang seriously for a while, and said, "Yes." ”

Lu married and looked even more distrustful.

Then, seeing that Ning had not responded for a long time, the little girl looked at Lu Marrying with tears and said, "Mother, mother, doesn't Daddy want us anymore?"

Ning Chang looked at Lu Marry.

......

The turmoil on the building boat temporarily calmed down, the body was cleared, and the ship was full of crying.

Because the ship was sheltered by a huge sea country, the investigation into the disaster was also carried out by the sea country monks one after another.

This turmoil is not like an accident, but more like a long-planned one, as if there is something of great value hidden on this ship, which can attract a large group of dragon robbers and a big demon to watch.

And after the body fragments of the algae dragon demon were studied, it caused an even greater uproar.

This algae dragon is a living fossil general existence, hundreds of years ago, there are often big demons outside the sea country to make waves, the big demon is the monster born of the dragon and the sea devil, and then the great monk of Luo Shulou personally stepped on the lonely boat on the sea on the night of the rainstorm, in the dark and unlucky sea, and the algae dragon fought bloodily for three days and three nights, and finally beat the algae dragon into serious injuries and expelled back to the underground dragon cave.

The algae dragon has not been born for decades after being injured, why does he dare to ignore the ban of Luo Shulou and reappear in the world?

Judging from the three corpses that were killed by the algae dragon, its killing intent was resolute, and it seemed that it would not hesitate to kill all the people in the boat.

Ning Changjiu also used Shura's spiritual power to explore the network of divine consciousness, and in addition to the dead qi all over the ship, he did not find any other abnormalities in this ship.

Of course, he didn't bother to pay attention to this at the moment.

Ning Changjiu and Lu Married sat on the bed, looking at this thin girl who had changed into clean clothes, and frowned.

"Whose child are you, why do you recognize people as fathers and mothers?" asked Ning Changjiu.

Lu married and said softly: "Don't worry, tell the truth, hmm...... We are good people. ”

The little girl had stopped crying.

As if she had been hungry for a long time, she lowered her head and picked up the dry food on the table, stuffed it into her mouth in small sips, and chewed vigorously.

After eating half a pot, the little girl whispered, "I...... I don't know who my parents are?"

"Then who are you on the boat with?" Ning Changjiu curious.

The little girl explained: "The man who took me on the boat was a man dressed in black, I didn't know him, he said to take me to a good place, there would be good food ......"

Ning Changjiu preliminarily concluded: "It seems that he is a liar who abducts and sells children." ”

"Well, it's a liar,......" complained the little girl, "he jumped into the sea to find something to eat first, and didn't take my ...... with him."

"......" Ning thought seriously for a long time and asked, "Then where are you from?"

The little girl stretched out her finger and pointed to the guide surface.

Nanzhou ......

Ning Changjiu asked again: "Then do you remember where your home is?"

"I don't remember. The little girl said honestly.

"What about your parents?"

"I ...... My mother was buried. ”

"Bury it?" Ning Chang felt pity and regret.

"Well, when my mother was buried, she was still calling my name. The little girl said timidly, her nose twitching, as if she was about to cry again.

Buried alive?!Ning Changjiu and Lu Jiao glanced at each other, and their hearts were cold.

Ning hesitated for a long time, but still asked softly, "What about your father?"

The little girl said, "They said, Daddy...... Daddy was locked up. ”

It seems to be a criminal......

Her mother was buried alive, her father was a criminal, and she was abducted and trafficked to Middle-earth, and she encountered such disasters on the way......

Lu couldn't help but think of her childhood, she shook her head lightly, revealing a bitter smile.

Ning Chang looked at her big watery eyes, and quietly unfolded the sea of knowledge shrouded in this little girl's body, his pupils were covered with a faint golden light, and silently probed to make sure that there were no parasites like evil spirit marks on her body.

The little girl sat on the chair, only the little half of her ass was on the chair, her shoulders were narrowed, her head lowered occasionally raised, and she glanced at them quietly, very restrained.

Lu married and Ning Changzheng were discussing in a whisper how to place this child.

The little girl watched Lu marry and launched a fatal blow.

"Mother, you look so beautiful!"

Lu Marrying's makeup at the moment is slightly hidden, but it is still beautiful and vulgar, which is incomparable to ordinary beauties.

Ning Changchang often praised her appearance, and although her words were extravagant, they always made her feel hypocritical. And now, these simple words come out of the mouth of an innocent and lovely little girl, and the effect is completely different.

After all, there is a word called "children are not bullied", which means that children and the elderly will not lie to themselves......

"Let's take her in. Lu Marrying proposed.

Ning Changchang always felt that there was something strange about this matter, he looked out the window where the snow had not stopped and the sea breeze was low, and he made a short calculation in his heart.

The little girl whispered, "Daddy doesn't seem to like me." ”

Lu Married reached out and touched her head, and said, "Don't worry, the family is in charge of the family." ”

The little girl sighed: "My mother is amazing!"

Lu married and smiled like a flower.

Ning Chang retracted his gaze and soothed the slightly chaotic emotions.

"What's your name?" asked Ning Changjiu.

The little girl looked at him and said timidly, "Qiu Yue." ”

......

Ning Changjiu didn't expect to marry Lu, but he took a boat and picked up a cheap daughter.

This daughter is really cheap, she doesn't pick what to eat or wear, and after the first few days of restraint, she is now also starting to liven up, bouncing inside and out, asking this and that, it's annoying.

"Daddy, how did you and your mother meet? ”

"I'm close to your mother...... Teachers are out of the same door. ”

"Mother, what were all those scary things in the sea before?"

"That's a kraken, it can't be a climate, and when you also practice in the future, you don't have to be afraid of them. ”

"Daddy, where are we going?"

"I'm going to you, huh...... Aunt Xiaoling?"

Ning thought about the word aunt for a long time, thinking that the junior sister who was only seventeen years old should not have expected that she could have such a seniority.

"By the way, Daddy, what did my mother do wrong? Why do you keep beating your mother at night......"

“......”

"Your father didn't beat me, that's ......" Lu was ashamed and wanted to explain reasonably.

"Then why should the mother admit her mistake and beg for mercy?" Qiu Yue asked innocently, blinking her eyes.

Lu Zhenmari stretched out her finger and touched her forehead, and sighed softly, thinking that she had been pretending to be asleep...... is worthy of being a cheap daughter, cheap really has no good goods.

There wasn't much of a storm in the days that followed.

Ning Chang paid attention to the follow-up of the previous Sea Demon Rebellion, and also helped them investigate together.

According to the information they obtained, the realm of that algae dragon was even higher than they imagined, and it had already entered the seventh floor of the Purple Court before it was suppressed.

Luo Shulou also issued an order to kill it after suppressing it, and this algae dragon demon should not dare to reappear in the world.

And in the inner compartment of this ship, a terrifying and significant incident was also discovered.

The bodies of hundreds of little girls and two black-robed men were found.

They were placed in a pile of coffins, which were said to have been carried onto the ship at night, and no one knows who gave the order. The most important thing is that these two people in black robes turned out to be demons.

"Ten Thousand Demon City?" Ning Changjiu's first reaction was the Ten Thousand Demon City in the northeast corner.

An old man next to him said with a smile: "I think this sword fairy boy is coming to Middle-earth for the first time, and he has only heard of the name of Ten Thousand Demon City, but he has never actually understood it. The Ten Thousand Demon City encloses itself and shelters the demons, and the monsters in it are generally not highly cultivated, and they don't dare to go out of the city at will on weekdays, let alone do such a big thing. ”

Ning Changjiu smiled and said that he had indeed come from afar to visit relatives, and he didn't know much about it.

The old man nodded, seeing that this young man was also young, and his cultivation was not high, so he mentioned: "I see that your accent is from Nanzhou, right? Although Nanzhou is not a small place, there are too many deep mountains and wild forests, and it is difficult for cultivators to come and go, far less prosperous than Middle-earth. ”

"The old gentleman is right. Ning Chang smiled and answered a few words and asked, "What has happened in Middle-earth recently?"

The old man looked proud and said, "Is the birth of the Sword Pavilion a big deal?"

"What happened to the Sword Pavilion, what happened?" Ning Changjiu had heard a little about the famous Sword Pavilion.

"It's the world of the world. The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "The Sword Pavilion is the number one sect in Middle-earth. Although there were occasional appearances in the past, it could be regarded as a silent Jiazi, and now the Sword Pavilion is not only born, but also has to accept a closed disciple, this is ...... Is it an earth-shattering event?"

"Closed disciple?" Ning Changjiu's expression was leisurely.

The closed disciple of the Sword Saint of Middle-earth, what kind of immortal talent should he be?

They chatted for a while about Middle-earth, and the old man felt that he and the young man were quite compatible, and in passing he taught some techniques that he had studied for many years. The biggest regret of the old man's life is that he failed to enter the realm of longevity, and he has no ability, and he can only grow old like a vulgar child.

During the conversation, in the aisle of the building boat, a man with an iron umbrella suddenly walked in.

He didn't look at the corpses piled up all over the ground, but hugged Ning Changjiu and said, "Your Excellency is the heroic swordsman who repelled the algae dragon that day?"

The old man was stunned, stopped brushing his beard, and turned to look at the thin and delicate young man beside him, wondering if he had made a mistake?

But the boy smiled and nodded.

"The female sword fairy?"

"Wife. ”

The man smiled: "Childe and the Sword Fairy Girl are really fairy couples. ”

Ning Changjiu asked, "But is there something?"

The man said sincerely: "This ship is the ship of the sea country, the son has a great favor to us, if the itinerary is not in a hurry, after arriving in the sea country, there is a dragon mother feast, the participants are all famous monks in Zhongzhou, if the son is interested, you can go with your wife." ”

"Mother of Dragons?"

"Well, it is the triennial banquet of the Sea Kingdom, even if it is the Eight Great Divine Sects, there will be outstanding disciples to participate, during which there are also competitions of qin, chess, swords, and magic methods, and those who win the championship can be personally received by the monarch of the Sea Kingdom. The man said earnestly, and he looked at the young man in front of him with a calm expression, only when he either didn't understand, or he just suppressed the crazy joy in his heart.

What an honor it is to be invited to the Mother of Dragons' feast. He saved the ship, saving the reputation of the sea country from unnecessary damage, and this invitation letter can be regarded as an equivalent return.

With this in mind, the man took out from his bosom the two letters that had been handed to him by the ship's owner.

The letter was pure black, with a corner of lacquer gold, reflecting a hideous sea beast totem, which was the imagination of the people of the sea country for the god Xuanze in the mythological story.

The old man on the side watched this scene, and his eyes were about to pop out. Back then, he was lucky enough to attend a banquet of the Dragon Mother's banquet, which he bragged about for decades...... This is an invitation to the banquet, this young man......

Ning Changchang calmly accepted the invitation and thanked him.

After the man left, the old man immediately changed his posture and bowed respectfully: "Great Immortal!"

Ning Changchang smiled and said, "You are an elder. ”

The old man shook his head and said conclusively: "Those who have attained the path of cultivation are immortals and great immortals. ”

“......”

When he returned to the room, Lu was teaching the little girl to read and write, and the little girl was very smart and clever, and in a short period of time she learned how to write from one to ten.

Ning Chang laughed involuntarily, thinking that when the time came, he really received his junior sister, and his junior sister might find out that she had fallen out of favor.

The ship broke through the waves, crossed the sea of no luck, and arrived in the sea country seven days later.

......

......

Ning Xiaoling never thought that she would raise a cat in her spare time.

The Ancient Spirit Sect was built on the ruins of the old Hades, and the pattern of the sect is also similar to that of the Hades in the records.

The Nine Secluded Peaks are in the center, and ten mountains rise around the peaks, such as the Yama Palace.

Each mountain has four disciple halls, the disciple hall is built according to the mountain, and you can see the fascinating ten mountains and one peak when you climb the top of the tower.

Ning Xiaoling was in the disciple hall of the Imperial Spirit Lineage.

The disciple's hall is far away from the main peak, so it is not a desolate place where no grass grows. There are also mountains and rivers here, during which the wild grass is fertile, there are spirit deer from time to time, and it is not a problem to raise a kitten.

The King of Fish has now changed his name to Di Ting.

Di Ting is a nine-like divine dog similar to a unicorn in the underworld, although it is a white cat, but there is no dissatisfaction with this title.

When it was dying that day, it felt a strange aura on Ning Xiaoling's body, and then it carefully observed it from a distance for a while, but it never felt like that again.

"Ning Xiaoling......" The king of fish thought about this name, frowned, and thought to himself, why couldn't he get along with the surname Ning?

As the king of fish was thinking, the sound of familiar footsteps came from the forest.

It slipped out of the cat's grass.

I saw the little girl named Yu Jin standing in the distance and watching the wind, while Ning Xiaoling, who was wearing a white dress, gently tapped the iron lunch box three times with chopsticks.

"Listen, listen. She called softly.

The king of fish sprang out.

In the past in the Five Realms, eating was just a dispensable hobby, but now it is different, it has really become an ordinary cat with only a little ability.

The king of fish approached the iron basin handed by Ning Xiaoling and ate the small dried fish inside.

"Alas. Ning Xiaoling looked at its severed tiger teeth, sighed, looked at its slowly recovering hair, and said, "Listen, you are also a majestic big cat, which big bad guy hurt you like this?"

The king of fish immediately thought of Ning Chang......

"To be so cruel to a kitten, it must be a bad person who has lost his conscience and is heinous. Ning Xiaoling knew that Di Ting couldn't answer, so she said to herself: "By the way, I'm going to participate in the Spirit Extraction Conference in the afternoon, you have to hide it, don't be discovered by the people of the sect, otherwise I won't be able to support you." ”

The king of fish meowed, indicating that he knew.

Talking is something that only the Longevity Realm monsters can do.

However, although its cultivation is lost at the moment, its vision is still there. It can see that this little girl is very talented, and she is a rare malleable material in the world.

Of course, this is still not enough to see compared to himself at the peak of the year.

It thinks that it is just a helpless move to send people under the fence now, and it will never give in to the Lord because of a little girl's small favor or something.

The king of fish was eating dried fish, Ning Xiaoling reached out to brush away its hair and probed those shocking wounds, like an old mother babbling about the tenacity of the king of fish's vitality.

After eating the dried fish, the king of fish meowed, very satisfied.

Ning Xiaoling patted its head and told it again to hide it well.

In the distance, the sound of swords in the hall sounded, Yu Jin made a gesture, Ning Xiaoling packed up the bowl, and hurriedly ran back to the hall to attend class.

The fish king looked at Ning Xiaoling's distant back and nodded slightly.

This is the last class of the day, and after that, it's time to go to the Soul Extraction Conference.

As the name suggests, the Soul Pulling Conference is to pull out the spiritual object.

Only by passing this item can you be eligible to participate in the Linggu Competition.

Approaching the end of class, Ning Xiaoling was still staring at the sword moves and spiritual skills drawn on his paper, frowning and silent.

She had been practicing the Ancient Spirit Sect's Soul Exorcism and Soul Control Technique for the past few months, and she had some experience, and then, she made an amazing discovery.

She found that the Taizhen Spiritual Technique of the Ancient Spirit Sect had many similarities with the sword technique of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

These two methods are like a torn piece of paper, and as long as you accurately find the direction of the crack, you can put it together completely.

And Uncle Yazhu also said to her that the ancestor of the Ancient Spirit Sect and the ancestor of the Sword Heavenly Sect were also friends, and the two had traveled the world together.

This strengthened her mind - this must be her own chance!

After all, relying on hard practice, in less than a month, it was impossible for her to enter the Purple Court Realm and compete with that disciple named Ming Lang.

After class, Ning Xiaoling closed the book full of his own drawings and deductions, and went to the Soul Pulling Conference.

The wooden hall was empty.

The breeze is coming.

By the window, a white cat deftly jumped up.

It jumped into the room lightly, sniffed the tip of its nose, and found exactly where Ning Xiaoling was.

It jumped up the chair onto the table.

"Ancient Spirit Sect ......" The Fish King looked at the stacked books and muttered to himself: "No wonder there is a familiar Netherworld aura, it turns out to be here." ”

Then, it casually took a few Heart Sutras and flipped through them, and finally the dexterous cat's paw stopped on Ning Xiaoling's own book.

It was a record book of their practice, and each disciple recorded his or her own feelings or problems in his practice.

The king of fish turned the first page.

It was silent for a moment.

I saw that on the first page of Ning Xiaoling's booklet, he drew a human head with a brush.

The head looked like a teenager.

He looked at it for a moment to make sure he hadn't seen the man, then flipped to the next page.

Ning Xiaoling's handwriting has been practiced hard, and the delicate Xiaokai is like a girl's delicate eyebrows...... It's a lot better than her paintings.

The Fish King looked at her words and nodded slightly.

This little girl's talent is better than she imagined, I think she was guided by a good teacher at the beginning, and her vision and understanding of the Tao are good.

It flipped slowly with its cat's paws.

Getting slower and slower.

It found that this little girl was not simpler than he had imagined.

"This ...... Is it swordsmanship?"

The Fish King looked at the few stick figures with swords and the annotations next to them, and fell into deep thought.

"Kind of interesting......" the Fish King muttered to himself.

"This kind of swordsmanship is completely different from the spirit technique of the Ancient Spirit Sect, but why does the key to the mental method look like it was written by one person?"

The king of fish also had doubts in his heart.

It slowly flipped through Ning Xiaoling's booklet, and began to deduce and calculate in its mind.

The more it deduced, the more it felt that the changes between swordsmanship and spiritual art were complex and mysterious.

Combined......

The fish king stared at the page, nodded lightly after a long time, and said clearly, "I see." ”

It lifted the pen, dipped it in ink, and began to write on the booklet.
