Outside the peach curtain, there is no flow of rich aura, the cold wind is cold, the whole wasteland is like a dry lotus covered by autumn frost, with different shades of dry color, touching and desolate, and on the field near the peach curtain, it seems to be shaded by the fairy mountain, and many dark green trees with branches and leaves can still be seen growing in clusters and shrubs.

And those roads that have been carved out of thorns, because no one has walked for a long time, are now also covered by dry grass, the same color as the wasteland.

The undulating mountains in the distance are in the line of sight, one after the other, and the clouds pass from above, and those mountains are like huge boulders flying one after another.

"Uncle Lu has been to Linhe City?" Ning Xiaoling asked.

Lu Yuanbai was very happy to see that this talented girl took the initiative to talk to him, and said: "I've been to the past, this is a radius of thousands of miles, large and small towns, where have I never been, the elders on the other Yunzhou have cultivated one by one like deep girls, Uncle Lu is different from them, Uncle Lu has enjoyed the scenery of Nanzhou back then, and he has been everywhere." ”

Ning Xiaoling asked, "Then why don't you see Uncle Lu going out now?"

Lu Yuanbai touched the short blue beard on his chin, and said with emotion: "It's hard for people to be young anymore, Uncle Shi was too wild when he was young, and he delayed a lot of practice, and now every day in the peak, seeing your vigorous appearance, Uncle Shi is very happy." ”

Ning Xiaoling pretended to listen seriously.

Cloud boats skim high across the wilderness, birds fly across the water, and flowing clouds come like huge waves.

At this moment, it is winter, the snow on many mountains is extremely thick, and the white heads are everywhere from a distance, the weeds and vines, strange stones and moss marks all carry the unique frost of winter, the four peaks are far away, and the peach curtain is silently floating under the canopy, covering the truth after the desolation.

Ning sat quietly for a long time, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Then have you been to the center of Nanzhou?"

Lu Yuanbai was stunned for a moment, then remembered some legends, and said angrily: "If I have the strength to go to the center of Nanzhou, I can still come here to drive a boat for you now?"

Ning Xiaoling asked curiously, "Nanzhou Central?"

Lu Yuanbai was a little more pleasant, and explained: "Nanzhou is close to the center, there is an extremely dangerous and chaotic field, that is the site of an ancient battlefield, known as the Southern Wilderness, it is said that the ban in that place has not been changed for a hundred years has become a huge field, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter that field at all, I heard that many other sects have been in danger, and there are also accidents and diseases, but the ending is not good, even if it is a character like Shizu, it is said that it has not been able to penetrate into the real center. ”

Ning Xiaoling was shocked when she heard this, and said with emotion: "It's so dangerous." ”

Lu Yuanbai smiled and said: "Yes, so persuade your senior brother well, but don't be stupid for that kind of illusory creation, that place, even Uncle Lu doesn't dare to set foot in that place." ”

Ning Chang said: "Well, Senior Uncle Lu is a fairy through the Immortal Realm, and Uncle Lu doesn't dare to set foot in it, that place must be extremely dangerous." ”

Ning Xiaoling couldn't help laughing.

Lu Yuanbai said angrily: "You kid doesn't even know what year and month you want to enter the Xuan, and you luckily used messy means to light a sword star, so you are in the mood to mock Lao Tzu?"

Ning Chang said: "The younger generation is really envious of Uncle Shi's realm." ”

Lu Yuanbai couldn't bear it anymore, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to teach him a lesson, but he looked at Ning Xiaoling on the side, and withdrew his hand stupidly, not because he cared about the girl's face, but because he was not sure if he could beat this little girl who had not been in the house for a long time.

Ning Xiaoling lay on the side of the boat, looking down, the boundless wilderness was in the line of sight, it was difficult to see any steep ups and downs, as flat as a lake.

"Uncle Lu is not going home for the New Year?" Ning Xiaoling suddenly asked.

Lu Yuanbai crossed his arms, looked in a certain direction, and sighed: "Go back...... When I'm done sending you off, I'll go back. ”

I don't know how long it took, the barren mountains and mountains finally went away in sight, a big river was lying down, the water surface of the big river was extremely spacious, the turbidity was yellow, even in winter, there was no sign of freezing, it was still rushing through the eight wilderness and four wildernesses, and the waves were rolling.

Lu Yuanbai said: "This is the Shahe, more than ten years ago, outside the Shahe, Zhao and Jin fought a battle, that battle Zhao died hundreds of thousands of people, cut more than 600 miles of land to seek a moment of peace, if it weren't for the side of Rong Guo eyeing the tiger, at that time Jin Guo may have swallowed Zhao directly, in the past, these castles and fortresses were empty, and now there are finally people stationed there, it is said that ah, it is because Zhao Guo has changed a new emperor, or a woman, that woman is quite military, and she has been training for the shame of more than ten years ago. ”

Ning Xiaoling's expression was bright: "Zhao Xiang'er?"

Lu Yuanbai was slightly startled, and said: "Well, does the little junior sister also know her, this newly appointed empress, it is said that she has lived in seclusion for many years, but her fame is very great, this time I heard that the imperial city is in chaos, and I don't know what happened, in short, then Zhao Xiang'er took the position and took charge of Zhao State, but Zhao Country is not as good as the mountain after all, how can a group of mortals gather aura, if you really want to practice, you still have to die Wai Xianzong, that female emperor is slacking off to practice for the sake of power in the world, I feel that it is not worth it." ”

Ning Xiaoling listened to him babbling, and just smiled: "That sister Xiang'er is beautiful." ”

Lu Yuanbai asked, "Is it hearsay or have you really seen it?"

Ning Xiaoling said: "Of course I saw it with my own eyes. ”

Lu Yuanbai thought that they were brought back from the imperial city by Lu Xiang'er, and it was normal to be lucky enough to have a relationship with Zhao Xiang'er, he looked in the direction of Zhao Guo and said: "That Zhao Xiang'er is said to be extremely beautiful, not only that, but I heard rumors that she seems to have a fiancé, and I don't know who has such a good fortune, it's really enviable......

Ning Xiaoling glanced at her senior brother, snickered for a while, and echoed: "Yes, yes, Xiaoling is very envious as a woman." ”

Lu Yuanbai asked casually: "By the way, Xiaoling, since you have seen that Zhao Xiang'er, who is more beautiful between her and your master?"

Ning Xiaoling's heart froze, the smile on her face gradually faded, she glanced at Ning Changjiu, and Ning Changjiu was also looking at her with a smile.

Seeing that she didn't reply for a long time, Lu Yuanbai felt a slight difference in his heart, thinking that he was just asking casually, as for being entangled for so long?

Ning Xiaoling pondered again and again, and said in a low voice: "Sister Xiang'er and Shizun are eight years apart, and after eight years, I will be more ......."

......

......

Outside Linhe City, Ning Changjiu and Ning Xiaoling got off the cloud boat, said goodbye to Lu Yuanbai, and walked towards the small city.

"Uncle Lu is also a poor man, alas. Ning Xiaoling said suddenly.

Ning Changjiu asked, "Why do you say that?"

Ning Xiaoling gossiped and said: "It is rumored that Uncle Lu was also a talented disciple in the past, but he just fell in love with a young female disciple from another peak, and that female disciple also liked him, and it was originally a good thing to become a Taoist couple, but he was intervened by another disciple, so he ...... Uncle Lu was snatched by a male disciple who was more than ten years younger than him. ”

Ning Changjiu thought to himself, no wonder he had such a big grudge against the four words "beginning chaos and ending abandonment" at that time.

Ning Changjiu echoed: "Uncle Lu is really a poor man...... I don't know which peak is the female disciple?"

Ning Xiaoling said: "How do I know this, I just heard it casually, I don't know if it's true or not." ”

Ning Changchang smiled and asked, "What else have you heard?

Ning Xiaoling also smiled, her eyes were sly, and she said, "Isn't our master's biggest gossip just those days with us......? If the other disciples knew about the process of the senior brother applying medicine and bandages to the master, with the current cultivation of the senior brother, I am afraid that he would not be ...... Ah, brother, I was wrong. ”

Ning Chang pressed her head and said helplessly: "Alas, the little girl's realm is getting higher and higher, which really worries the senior brother, if the senior brother can't beat you completely in the future, you must not be grinded to death by your mouth." ”

Ning Xiaoling glanced at him and said in disbelief: "Senior brother is deceiving people, you are obviously very happy." ”

Ning Chang's body froze, and he said curiously: "Can you still sense it?"

It's been two months, and those four words of the master are like this?

Ning Xiaoling hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "Actually, I have always been able to, but I was afraid that my senior brother would mind, so I never said it." ”

Ning Chang sighed and asked resignedly, "Then I ...... before?" What's the mood?"

Ning Xiaoling recalled for a while and said, "It's been okay all along...... Just the month before, the senior brother seemed to be in a bit depressed. ”

Previous Month...... It was the day when his cultivation was at a bottleneck, and he thought he wasn't worried, but he didn't expect that his mood was still a little low.

I can hide it from myself, but I haven't hidden it from my junior sister.

Alas, the cultivation of the mind is still not enough.

Ning Changjiu sighed and said, "Hearing you say this, Senior Brother is even more sad. ”

Ning Xiaoling said worriedly: "Senior brother won't drive me away because of this, right?"

Ning Changjiu poked the back of her neck and said, "This will drive you home." ”

There are still two days before Chinese New Year's Eve, Ning Chang and Ning Xiaoling entered the city together, they don't need to clear the customs documents, they only need the wooden card of the Sword Heavenly Sect, after the soldiers guarding the city saw the wooden card, the eyes of the two people looked at the two again, full of surprise and envy, as if this riverside city had not produced a few cultivation seeds for decades, and the guards exchanged a few words with them before letting them in.

Ning Xiaoling looked at the old street in her memory, at the moment there was thick snow on both sides of the street, and pedestrians were coming and going in thick clothes, obviously more than two months had passed, but she had a feeling of being in a different world.

"When Ning Zhushui was brought to Linhe City for the first time, I thought I was following a master, and I was full of longing to learn the Dao Law and then return to my hometown, holding a peachwood sword and killing all those mountain demons. I didn't expect ......" Ning Xiaoling couldn't help but think of that unforgettable night, she thought she was going to die.

Ning Changchang's memory of this city slowly opened, it was his own memory in this life.

I didn't meet the second senior brother to bring me back to the mountain gate, so I went through several times, originally learned to engrave in a craftsman's house, and then was favored by Ning Baoshui, spent a lot of money to buy it, and wandered here.

He came a long time earlier than Ning Xiaoling, but he rarely moved, and he traveled with his master, and his memory of this city was not as deep as Ning Xiaoling.

"It's also a home, I haven't been back for more than two months, I don't know if I've been a thief. Ning Chang said.

Ning Xiaoling said with a smile: "Don't worry, that dead ghost old Taoist priest has hidden the money well, where can ordinary thieves find it." ”

Ning Chang said: "Well, when the time comes, the money will be yours, and Xiaoling will become a little rich man, don't forget your senior brother." ”

Ning Xiaoling patted his chest and said arrogantly: "Don't worry, Xiaoling will raise you in the future." ”

Ning Chang glanced at her and sighed, "Don't shoot." ”

Ning Xiaoling was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face turned red, and she said in annoyance: "Senior brother, others are becoming more and more immortal when they go up the mountain, you are good, how can you still ...... Hmph, presumably the senior brother used to pretend to be light-hearted, I want to tell the marrying master about this matter, and let her poke you with a sword!"

Ning Changchang said with a smile: "Didn't we cheat her together at that time? If you really do this, you will be caught in the net, and you will not wear small shoes for you in the future." ”

Ning Xiaoling glared at him and said, "Don't call the master by his name!"

......

The door couldn't be opened, so Ning Changjiu pulled Ning Xiaoling over the wall and entered.

There were not many valuable objects in the house, and the walls were very high, but of course this was unstoppable for them nowadays.

"Alas, this old Taoist priest has made a lot of money from abduction and deception over the years, and he is reluctant to buy a larger yard. ”

After Ning Xiaoling stayed in the Imperial City and Heavenly Cave Peak, his vision was naturally much higher, and when he returned home at this moment, in addition to dissatisfaction, there was still a little nostalgia in his eyes.

The time spent here has also been reflected in his mind one by one, Ning Chang walked into the courtyard, and his pace slowed down a little, every tree and stone here seemed to clearly indicate the years, and there was no fake.

The years in that view are equally clear.

How is it possible for a person to have two different life experiences at the same time?

The two are like entangled dragons and snakes, entangled in the light and shadow of fate, biting each other to devour each other.

In a slight trance, Ning Xiaoling had already skillfully run back to the house, and there were words in his mouth: "Compass...... Stove...... Well, the couch...... Roof beams ......"

These were the positions where they secretly observed Ning Shui Shui and his private money.

Ning Changjiu also walked towards the house.

Suddenly, he stopped, frowning, as if sensing something unusual.

"Senior brother, what is this?"

Inside the house, Ning Xiaoling's somewhat surprised voice came out.

"What's wrong?" Ning Changjiu walked into the house and looked at the girl.

Ning Xiaoling was tearing up a picture of Fu that was pasted on the wall, and then pulled out a well-hidden letter from behind the picture.

"Just now I wanted to open my sword eyes to find out where the light was, but I saw this at a glance......" Ning Xiaoling pinched the letter, blew it, and raised it at Ning Chang.

Ning Changjiu took the letter from her hand, took out the letter, unfolded it, and his eyes were attracted by the lower left of the letter, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

At the bottom left was a seal, a seal he had seen and was extremely impressive!

"It's ......," he said, with a rare look of shock.

Ning Xiaoling looked at his expression and became more and more curious: "What is the content?"

"Yes......" Ning Changjiu was about to speak, but his brows were slightly raised.

"Be careful!" Ning Chang let out a low sigh, grabbed Ning Xiaoling's arm, pulled her to her side suddenly, jumped backwards extremely quickly, and exited the house with her in an instant.

Before the figure retreated, the sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded in the house.

For!

On the back wall where they were, a short arrow pierced through the wall and pierced into it.

......
