Nine Dead Southern Desolate Souls Return Chapter 140: In the Peak Lord's Palace
Tonight's Heavenly Cave Peak was like a huge furnace, and the light and flames came out from the holes on the mountainside, and the smoke was rising, as if it was about to refine the entire mountain.
It was the fire in the Hidden Peak.
The corpse was burned intensively, and the fire that lit up was not a real firework, but a huge amount of spiritual energy that was ignited, it had no heat, but it illuminated the Heavenly Cave Peak, but in this bright beauty, countless people who turned their bones into ashes seemed to indicate the future withering of the Heavenly Cave Peak.
Jianfeng, which was already in decline, was almost predictable after this turmoil.
In the end, the cold prison was sealed again, but most of the prisoners in it had been killed and injured, and in the years to come, it would be difficult for Tianguo Peak to compete with the other three peaks for aura. And at the bottom of the mysterious peak shrouded in black mist, no one has set foot in danger for the time being.
The disciples of the inner peak could not go to the hidden peak, they vaguely knew that something big was happening in the mountain, but they didn't know what was happening.
After the noise, everything returned to calm.
The fireworks are extinguished, the night is shrouded in the peaks, and the spring breeze is like a ghost crying, and the sound is endless.
Ning Xiaoling sat on the bed, she took the healing decoction, covered the quilt, her fingers stroked the folds on the quilt, her small and soft hands were a little thinner, and there were white marks in her palms that had not faded after holding the sword for a long time.
She turned her head slightly, looking out the window at the dim night, the moonlight in the sky sprinkled with stratus clouds, as if there was also a silver country hidden in the clouds.
"Senior brother......" Ning Xiaoling murmured softly, she stared intently at the high moon, as if it was a mirror from which the face of the person in her heart could be reflected.
She remembered what her senior brother had said to herself during the day.
Small money bag...... New Copper Coins......
What did the senior brother want to tell himself?
Ning Xiaoling's brain turned, thinking hard, and suddenly, her purple mansion moved slightly, and the girl pressed her chest, and wisps of white light overflowed, condensing into the appearance of a snow fox.
Because the snow fox had been squeezed by Ning Xiaoling for two months, it looked a little small at the moment, with a short bulging tail that looked like a fluffy ball.
She hugged the innate spirit snow fox into her arms, ran her fingers all the way along its back, and then gently pinched its tail, and said curiously: "Does the little fox have anything to tell me?"
Of course, Snow Fox will not answer, and most of the time the reaction of the innate spirit is her subconscious expression.
Ning Xiaoling thought seriously for a while, grabbed the back of the innate spirit's neck and carried it in front of him, looked at its eyes, and then remembered something.
The existence of the innate spirit can help the master to practice at almost double the speed, and at the same time, it is also a pair of eyes hidden in the shadows, which can secretly record many things.
Ning Xiaoling's hand stroked the snow fox's head.
She closed her eyes, and her mind was connected to the snow fox without any barrier, and soon, Ning Xiaoling saw some pictures that she had forgotten.
It was a dark space, and there were a lot of milky bean-sized lamps in the space, and those lamps seemed to be suspended out of thin air like ghost fires, and they seemed to have long pillars as support, and on the ground, there were a lot of things that could not be seen clearly, they were like stones of different sizes, scattered and scattered, revealing a strange and eerie atmosphere.
Ning Xiaoling was terrified, she didn't know why she saw such a picture, and the next image made her eyebrows tremble.
She saw a huge bone snake, the skull snake was complete, not a little mutilated, like an entrenched ancient dragon, swallowing all the mist, and the bone snake occupied too much vision, she vaguely felt that there was a pair of eyes behind the white bone snake staring at her, she couldn't see those eyes, but she shuddered at the thought of this possibility.
"Huh-" Ning Xiaoling saw this strange picture, her hand accidentally used some heavy force, and the snow fox called out, pulling her back from the dream to reality.
Only then did she realize that she was in a cold sweat.
Ning Xiaoling raised her arm and wiped her forehead, she lifted the quilt and hurriedly walked out of bed, her feet groping for traces of shoes on the ground.
She was still wearing white clothes and pants at the moment, and she couldn't wait to cover the door before she put on the outer clothes, she suddenly remembered what happened before, and muttered in her heart, thinking that Master wouldn't be in Senior Brother's room again today, what if the two of them were doing something strange and were broken by themselves?
Ning Xiaoling didn't know what the strange thing was, she just thought it was strange for them to be together late at night.
Ning Xiaoling performed the Dao Gate Concealment Technique and tiptoed to her senior brother's room, she first looked around cautiously, for fear of provoking the little tail like Le Rou last time.
Then Ning Xiaoling leaned in front of the door, leaning her ear against the door, carefully listening to whether there was any movement inside.
After confirming that there were no strange sounds inside, Ning Xiaoling knocked lightly on the door.
Knock knock.
In the extremely quiet corridor, Ning Xiaoling's knock on the door made him a little frightened.
But there was no response from inside the house.
She knew that as long as her brother was in the house, she would definitely hear a knock on the door, but ...... Why is there no response?
Where did the senior brother go?
Ning Xiaoling knocked a few more times, and her heart was confused, so she had to retreat into the room weakly, and sulked silently for a while.
......
In the main hall of the peak, Ning Chang sat cross-legged on the white jade cold window, and Lu Marry also sat down behind him, instilling spiritual power into his empty shell-like body.
"Why are you in Yinfeng? Who allowed you to go in?" Lu Yu's tone was slightly cold, and her jade red lips were covered with frost on Hanyu's bed.
Ning Jiujiu didn't hide it, and told her about the book of the Xiaofei Sky Array in the Book Pavilion and the matter of Yin Feng, Ning Chang thought for a while and said, "Since Yin Feng can go in, of course I can also practice in it." β
Lu married and snorted coldly: "What kind of crooked reasoning? β
Ning Changjiu asked, "Isn't the main hall of that peak also not allowing disciples to come in?"
After saying this, Ning Changjiu regretted it a little, he was afraid that Lu Jiao would directly sweep himself out of the house in a fit of anger, so he immediately pretended to be weak and arched his back a little, coughing twice.
Lu didn't make much moves, but said softly: "If there is such a thing in the future, you must tell me first, do you know?"
Ning Chang bowed his head.
Lu married her hands on his back, her palms with a warm and cold touch, and she continued to ask, "How did you come out?"
Ning Changjiu replied: "There seems to be a secret passage at the bottom of the peak...... I fell to the bottom of the peak, looked around briefly for a while, groped in the darkness for a while, and then found a secret passage and walked out from the bottom of the peak. β
"Secret Path?" Lu Marrying was puzzled: "How can there be a secret path at the bottom of the peak, who made it?"
Ning Changjiu shook his head slightly, he felt that he might have remembered something wrong, but he couldn't confirm it.
Lu Marrying continued to ask: "What about after you come out?"
Ning Changjiu untied the jade plate of the inner disciple on his waist, and said with a smile: "Please take a look." β
Lu married and found out that he had changed his waist card, but there was no joy on her face, she just said lightly: "Why don't you go back to the peak first?"
Ning Chang remembered that Lu married and almost put himself in danger in the civil strife in the hidden peak in order to go down the peak alone, he was moved in his heart and smiled: "Let the master suffer." β
Lu married and said indifferently: "It's good that you're not dead." β
Rather have a long dry cough
After a few sounds, the paleness on his face changed to blood little by little.
Lu married and remembered something again, and asked, "Listen to Yazhu, your swordsmanship is very good?"
Ning Chang said: "My swordsmanship has always been very good. β
Lu married and did not continue the topic, she withdrew her palms, and after pranayama, the palms of her palms sank, and then placed them on her knees, she said: "Your body should be fine, I don't care where your swordsmanship comes from, but this sword is a skill to kill a thousand enemies and self-damage to eight hundred, and it will cause great damage to your Qi Sea Spiritual Vein, so remember to be careful in the future." β
Ning Changjiu nodded, he also had a plan in his heart, he rested for a while, and said, "Then let's continue." β
"Hmm, what to continue?" asked Lu Yuyu.
Ning Chang turned his head.
Lu married her long hair, scattered on her shoulders like a waterfall, and a few strands were draped down her chest, and her face was also full of tiredness, with a pair of autumn water eyes and cold mist, like a fairy in the Moon Palace sitting alone on a cold couch.
She and Ning Changjiu looked at each other for a while, quickly staggered their gazes, and said, "Forget it today." β
Ning Chang said: "Turn your back." β
Lu was a little unhappy with this tone, and said, "I said it, forget it today." β
Ning Changchang said: "Today, the master went down to the peak to look for me, and I always felt that I couldn't repay it when I was moved. β
Lu married and didn't speak.
Ning Changjiu pressed her shoulders with both hands, twisting her body a little bit.
On weekdays, the room is dark, although the two of them have some smaller skin blind dates, but they don't care, at this moment the white jade cold bed is glowing, illuminating the figures of the two of them, they are very close to each other, and the cold fog that rises up can't cover it at all.
"That's hard work for you. Lu married's voice was a little soft.
She straightened her back and lifted the hair scattered on her back in front of her, and her swan-like neck was slender and straight between the scattered hair, and Ning Chang noticed that she was wearing a thin silver necklace around her neck.
Ning Changjiu suddenly asked, "What would you do if I fell to the bottom of the peak and never came up again?"
Lu married and said coldly: "Don't get me wrong, I am the peak master, you are my disciple, and it is my responsibility to save you." β
Ning Changchang smiled and asked, "What did I misunderstand?"
As he spoke, Ning Changchang pointed at Zhonglu's wedding vest, and the golden crow wrapped around his fingers, turning into a silk of gold, some of which overflowed along her sword clothes, and some of which ignited her body through her clothes.
Lu Marrying snorted lightly, and only after calming down did he say: "You already have a fiancΓ©e, and you must never say these frivolous words to other women in the future." β
Ning Chang said: "I'm just a gamble with her." β
Lu Zaanmari sneered: "I'm afraid you can't even deceive Xiaoling when you say this." β
Ning Changjiu said: "Zhao Xiang'er's yellow-haired girl is proud and arrogant, except for being born with an excellent skin, what is good?"
Lu Zhuo chuckled and said, "Yellow-haired girl, I don't think you're much older than her." β
Ning Changjiu also laughed and said, "It's really not as big as Shizun." β
"Shut up. Lu Marrying said lightly.
"Master, don't get me wrong. Ning Chang smiled and argued.
Lu married and didn't want to pay attention to him anymore.
And the temperature on Ning Changjiu's hands was also much higher, the golden crow flew into the jade body, dissipated the cold, and illuminated the delicate white skin hot, her body was slightly hot, her cheeks also began to be hot, and the root of her ear was a crystal ruby, and at the same time, the cold air on the white jade cold bed kept driving the temperature of her body.
Between the cold and the hot, Lu married and had a strange and unclear feeling in his heart.
She didn't like this feeling, she could clearly feel that Ning Changjiu was carrying some "revenge" psychology, but I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, he deliberately teased the purple mansion and stimulated the sword fetus in it, and she was also on guard, her face did not change, and she pretended that she was immune to it.
But this is under the "control" of others after all, although Lu Married's character is never very strong, he does not like to be at the mercy of others.
Finally, after enduring it for a long time, Ning Changjiu withdrew her fingers, Lu Yu's body was slightly loose, and her red earlobes seemed to be on fire, if it weren't for Ning Chang's presence, she would lie directly on the cold jade bed, greedily thirsting for coolness to dispel the temperature in her body.
Ning Changjiu's fingers moved, and the golden crow that was originally standing on his fingertips jumped onto his shoulder, and he asked, "What will Master talk about in class tomorrow?"
Lu married and thought for a while, and said, "The Zhou Tian cycle of the spiritual vein. β
Ning Chang nodded.
Lu asked the marry, "What do you think?"
In the past, after they finished refining their bodies, Lu Marry would also take this opportunity to ask some questions about Ning Chang's cultivation, and Ning Chang was very knowledgeable, and each answer also benefited Lu Marry a lot, nominally Lu Marry was discussing with him, but in fact, Ning Chang was solving her doubts.
This time, Ning Changjiu seemed to have some grudges against their previous conversation, and said: "I am your disciple, how can I have the ability to answer something, if the master sincerely wants to know, it is better to worship me as a teacher." β
Listening to his words, Lu Married Mommed suspiciously, turned her head, her slightly red cheeks were frosty, and she said stiffly: "I'm just discussing with you." β
Ning Changjiu didn't debunk it, he answered, and began to talk about the many characteristics of the spiritual vein Zhou Tian cycle with Lu Marrying.
Lu Zaimari nodded lightly, looking serious, but for some reason, when she thought of what Ning Changfang had just said, her mind was a little confused.
She thought that if she had known him a few years later, with his talent, it would really be possible to be her master...... She couldn't imagine that if she really recognized the young man in front of her as a teacher, of course, fortunately, she made the first move, and such a thing would not have happened.
She sat upright, her posture straight, even as a listener, she still carried the majesty and coldness of the peak master, as if she was the one who was seducing.
Based on the principle of discussion, the two sorted out some detailed questions.
Lu Marrying said with emotion: "These are all what you read from the book?"
Ning Changjiu nodded and said, "Yes." β
Lu married and didn't believe it, and said softly: "When, can you tell me your true origin?"
The smile on Ning Changjiu's face gradually faded, he didn't know what he remembered, and there was a trace of nostalgia on his face.
Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Lu Marrying didn't force it, and said: "The godless moon will come soon, and all the disciples will go down the mountain to hunt demons together, you try not to go to those wildernesses where no one has set foot, the duty of an immortal cultivator is to protect the world, and the demons who do not disturb the world do not have to take the risk of killing." β
Ning Chang nodded and said, "Well, there should be something hidden in these four peaks, you have to be careful." β
Lu married and said: "I know, I will protect this peak thoroughly." β
Ning Changjiu continued to nod and didn't say anything more.
Seeing that it was not early, Lu married and began to issue an eviction order: "If there is nothing to do, I will send you back to rest first." β
Late at night, Lu Yuyao put on the black robe, in order to prevent being discovered, she did not take the right path, but took Ning Changjiu into her arms, swept away directly, and returned to Ning Changjiu's wing room through the open window.
Lu married and married at this moment, she didn't even need a fairy sword to be able to fly in the sky, but this also made her a little strange, if she was a sword, then what kind of person was Ning Changjiu who walked with her?
She didn't want to think about it too much, and sent Ning Changjiu back to her room before leaving silently.
......
......
At night, Ning Changjiu didn't fall asleep directly, he drew his sword and began to reproduce the strange sword move.
He had memorized many sword moves when Yan Zhou was asleep, and there were a total of twelve moves he remembered, and the movements of each sword were not like swords, but more like strange dances during sacrifices.
He began to try these sword moves again.
Ning Chang found that even if he killed three people in a row with this swordsmanship, when he danced the sword out of thin air, it was still difficult to master the swordsmanship, as if the real life and death were the sharpness of the sword, and only then could he bring the swordsmanship that broke through everything to the extreme.
Ning Chang was well-informed, and knew that this sword technique was extremely not simple, and it might even have something to do with the second half of the legendary Heavenly Oracle Sword Sutra.
But his intuition told Ning Changchang that this should not be the second half of the Sword Sutra, and his subconscious seemed to know the whereabouts of the second half of the Sword Sutra, but he couldn't remember it.
The sword shone on the moonlight, tearing through the night over and over again, Ning Chang's speed of sword production became faster and faster, and the use and changes of these twelve sword moves also began to become proficient in a short period of time.
Then, he found that the twelve sword moves seemed to be related to each other, and they seemed to point to a single sword.
These sword moves are all born from a single sword.
Ning Chang couldn't help but think of the most basic Taoist scripture "Tianxin Scroll", which was the Taoist scripture he learned as soon as he got started, but he only discovered after cultivating the Tao to the highest place, and then whether it was the Dao Gate Concealment Technique or the Dao method such as the Water Moon in the Mirror, it was the deduction and change of the Tianxin Scroll.
Could it be that this kind of swordsmanship, like the Tianxin Scroll, is the nature of the Dao Law, the "one" of all things in a lifetime?
At this moment, Ning Changjiu, who was seriously studying swordsmanship and Taoism, didn't know that Ning Xiaoling had come to find him tonight.
The next morning, Ning Changjiu did not go, but went directly to the library to see Yan Zhou.
The old man Yan Zhou was still asleep, so Ning Changjiu took a book and read it at will.
"I already know about Hidden Peak. I don't know how long it took, the old man spoke slowly, his breath of life was extremely weak, like a lonely spider silk in the wind.
Ning Changjiu put down the book in his hand, looked at Yan Zhou, and said bluntly: "Yan Feng was killed by me." β
Yan Zhou was slightly different, he didn't hear about it, he only knew that Yan Feng died at the hands of a man in white, and the man in white also fell into the peaks and valleys, with his understanding of the peaks and valleys, he knew that even if the white-clothed man didn't fall to pieces, he would be polluted and eroded by those evil weapons at the bottom of the peak, and life was better than death.
But he didn't expect that person to be Ning Changjiu.
This is incredible, but if it falls on this teenager with many secrets, it seems that it is not inexplicable.
Yan Zhou sighed: "Yan Feng wants to kill you, you want to kill him, life and death are unpredictable, the consequences are unpredictable, I have nothing to say about such an ending, I guess you have also guessed, then Yan Feng was secretly released by me, if you are still dissatisfied, you can also draw a sword and kill me." β
Ning Changjiu smiled faintly and said, "Uncle Shi's words are serious, I didn't come to you today because of this. β
"Huh?" Yan Zhou was slightly puzzled and said with a smile: "Then what are you doing when you come to me as an old man? Don't you ask something about Lu Marrying? I watched that girl grow up, and I didn't expect her to be able to become such a captivating city." β
Ning Changjiu's heart was slightly different, he suddenly wanted to follow Yan Zhou's words and ask to learn about the past of Lu Marrying, but he couldn't help it, and said without changing his face: "It has nothing to do with the family teacher." β
"Oh, what's that?" Yan Zhou asked.
Ning Chang said, "Aren't you curious about how I killed Yan Feng?"
Yan Zhou nodded and said: "Curious, with your realm, you should definitely die, I thought someone was secretly helping, isn't it?"
Ning Changjiu said: "I only used one sword to really kill Yan Feng. β
Yan Zhou opened his eyes and looked at the white-clothed young man with a delicate appearance: "One sword, what kind of heavenly sword technique can kill people in an instant across two realms?"
Ning Changjiu said: "The Purple Court can be called an immortal, and the mortals under the Purple Court may of course be killed by any means. β
"Although there is some truth in what you say, I still want to know, what kind of sword is it?"
Before Yan Zhou's words fell, the sword appeared three feet in front of him, Yan Zhou was not panicked, because with his realm, Ning Chang would never have the possibility of breaking his body's protective qi, but his pupils still bloomed with brilliance.
"Where did you learn your swordsmanship?" Yan Zhou blurted out.
Ning Chang saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, and he was even more puzzled in his heart, and asked, "Have you ever seen such a sword technique?"
Yan Zhou shook his head at first, and then fell into deep thought: "I'm sure I haven't seen it, but it's vaguely familiar, you...... Where did you learn it?"
Ning Chang hesitated for a moment and said, "When I was a child, I used to worship a Taoist priest from Youfang, and he taught me a few strange swordsmanship. β
Yan Zhou didn't know the truth, but sighed: "Your life is indeed very good, presumably it is also a master of the world." β
Ning Changjiu stared at him, as if he wanted to catch a trace of fluctuation from his face, but Yan Zhou's expression did not have the slightest flaw, and after a while, Ning Changjiu spread out the book in his hand and asked casually: "Can you tell me the story of the dragon entangled pillar and the situation at the bottom of the peak?"
Yan Zhou shook his head and said, "You've set foot there, you should know more than I do." β
Ning Changjiu didn't ask, but said, "Do you really want to be imprisoned in the library for the rest of your life? The sky is high and the earth is wide, and cultivators should not be obsessed with these trivial things all their lives. β
Yan Zhou said: "Where is the trivial matter? This is my avenue......"
......
......
At night, in the main hall of the peak, as soon as Lu married and married Ning Changchang, he asked the teacher: "Why didn't you come to the morning class and the Yuntai Sword Field today? You are already a disciple of the Inner Peak, so you should obey the rules, what is this like?"
Ning Chang smiled: "Could it be that you want to beat me again?"
Lu Marrying now needs him to help refine the body every day, of course, it is impossible to take revenge, but the rules of the master must not be broken without authorization, she thought about it, and said to herself: "When the peak was hidden, you had a great merit in protecting the peak, and now you can make some small mistakes to offset the merits, I won't care too much about these, but this is not appropriate after all, you remember to come to class in the future, don't embarrass me." β
"Well, good. β
"By the way, I will also arrange a special seat for you, and it is really not good to always move a chair next to Xiao Ling. β
"No need, it's good to sit next to my sister......"
"No, Xiaoling is only fourteen years old now, you should polish her well, and don't let her have too strong a sense of dependence on you. β
"Then listen to you. β
"Well, let's get started......"
The two of them sat on the cold white jade bed one after the other.
Today's body refining ended quickly, because Ning Changjiu and Lu Marrying both found that the effect of body refining was getting weaker and weaker day by day.
"Maybe it won't take a few days, and my sword spirit will be truly complete. When Lu married and said this, her expression was like that of a little girl looking forward to the New Year.
Ning Changjiu poured a basin of cold water: "I don't think so." β
"What do you mean?"
"I think maybe it's not enough temperature. Ning Chang looked at the golden crow between his fingers and guessed.
Lu married and said, "Then what do you think?"
Ning Changjiu said, "Your clothes may be a little thick. β
