The carriage drove on the road that had only been opened up in recent years, and it was more spacious than before, and there were many fewer detours, and it was supposed to pass through the foot of Aomine Ridge. However, a lot seems to have happened in Qingfeng Ridge recently, often there are beast roars that shake for several miles, sometimes looking at the mountains from afar, the weather that was originally clear and full of clouds suddenly becomes cloudy, and thunder rolls.

Now Qingfeng Ridge has been surrounded by the army of Pingyuan City, and it is forbidden for people in the vicinity to approach, and the carriage needs to make a detour.

Li Shanshan and Huo Liang sat in the carriage, Jiang Ning and Shen Muyuan, who was driving the car, sat outside, Shen Mu looked at Qingfengling from afar, and talked to Jiang Ning about some recent things with some emotion.

"It's going to change, although the nearest Plains City has not changed on the surface, it is secretly turbulent, it is best not to go back and forth for a while after the two of you, after all, this road is still too close to Qingfeng Ridge. Yesterday, someone near the mouth of the mountain range, encountered a monster with only two heads, and bit when he saw a person, and only half of the body of the person was left in one bite, and finally the army was dispatched to encircle and suppress, and it took dozens of people to kill the monster. ”

"Grandpa Shen's advice, I wrote it down. ”

Seeing that Shen Mu was far from saying much, Jiang Ning, who hoped to know more about the situation in Qingfengling, was a little impatient.

"Grandpa Shen, tell me more about the news about Qingfeng Ridge recently. ”

Shen Muyuan smiled, he had a very good impression of this junior, so he picked out some of the news he got and began to tell Jiang Ning.

"Jiang Ning, you grew up in Jinyi Town, so you should know some of the history of Qingfeng Ridge better than me. Qingfeng Ridge has lived in the demon clan since ancient times, but they are not strong, and there are mountain immortals in the dynasty who have demarcated the area and set up a maze to separate us from them.

But about 400 years ago, a big demon broke into the territory of the dynasty, killing hundreds of people at every turn, using people as food, causing a prison on earth, and the people were miserable and mournful. Seeing this scene, our Ming Dynasty quickly made a response, united with some immortal sects, and it can be said that the masters came out together, and they failed to kill the big demon fighting method for several days and nights. In the end, he chose to seal him at the lowest cost, and the location was Qingfeng Ridge. ”

"Well, I've heard this old man talk about it, and I didn't believe it before. ”

"These things are not something that mortals like us can think about, and now in this situation, we have the heart and powerlessness, and the immortals who have achieved cultivation are so powerful that they are unimaginable. Just a few days ago, there was a team of people in the city, taking advantage of the gap in the change of the guard of the army, sneaking into Qingfeng Ridge to hunt and collect medicine, although it was a livelihood, but only one of the more than 20 people in the group came back, and they went completely crazy. When they saw people, they shouted, "Ghosts, ghosts, they are all dead people..." ”

When the carriage arrived at Jinyi Town, it was already afternoon Shen time, and Jiang Ning and his party got off the carriage in an alley in front of the pharmacy, this section of the path was a little narrow, and the carriage could not enter. Shen Muyuan said hello for him and Li Erliu, the hour was not early, and he still needed to rush back to Pingyuan City, Jiang Ning nodded and thanked the old man for escorting.

Huo Scale, who was originally quite lively and happy, looked at the pharmacy in front of him, as if he sensed that there was some threat in the house, and seemed a little flustered, and slightly began to retreat away from Jiang Ning and Li Shanshan.

Jiang Ning and Li Shanshan, who were sorting out the items on the ground, did not notice the little girl's retreat. Firescale's face changed, revealing a frightened expression, and in an instant, he quietly disappeared behind the two of them...

At this moment, a young and beautiful woman who looked six or seven points like Li Shanshan slowly walked out of the door of the pharmacy. Behind her was a man in purple clothes and white hair, and the shadows of Li Erliu and Li Shanshan could be vaguely seen on his body.

Both of them were standing on the steps under the door at this time and looked at each other, looking a little cramped and uneasy, as if they were waiting for the children they hadn't seen for a long time, the elders when they came home.

The woman was already at this time, bursting into tears, covering her mouth with her hand to prevent herself from crying, the slim girl in front of her was her daughter, and the child she was thinking about day and night was already so old. The long-haired man with a head full of snow was also looking at Li Shanshan, his lips trembling slightly, but he didn't know how to speak.

Li Shanshan was stunned at first, and then seemed to have determined something, staring blankly at the two people in front of her, who were unfamiliar but brought her extremely cordial and familiar, and unconsciously fell to the ground with the thing she was holding in her hand.

The woman, who was six or seven points similar to Li Shanshan, couldn't help it, ran over quickly, hugged Li Shanshan, and tears couldn't stop coming out of her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Shanshan, it's all my father and mother who are not good, I haven't been able to accompany you all these years, I'm sorry..."

"Mother.."

Li Shanshan subconsciously blurted out this word, and Jiang Ning cried when she saw Li Shanshan for the first time in her memory.

Li Shanshan still can't react, after so many years, the memory of her father and mother has been blurred, and the long-missed parents suddenly appeared, and the emotions are extremely complicated.

"Come, let my mother take a good look. ”

A gentle hand brought Li Shanshan a warmth that she had never really experienced, and gently helped her wipe away the tears on her face.

The white-haired man stood quietly and looked at his wife and daughter, although his expression gave people a somewhat cold feeling, but his eyes were full of tenderness. Then he tilted his head slightly and looked at Jiang Ning, his expression changed from cold to surprised, then to surprise, and then to a look of disbelief.

Jiang Ning naturally noticed the white-haired man's gaze, and already knew that he was Sister Shanshan's father, he did not open his mouth to break the atmosphere at the moment, but returned an innocent smile to the other party, which could be regarded as a greeting.

Unexpectedly, the man took a step and appeared beside Jiang Ning, frightening Jiang Ning to retreat, he put two fingers against Jiang Ning's eyebrows, and then closed his eyes.

Jiang Ning found that he couldn't move at all, and after a while, the white-haired man opened his eyes and smiled: "I really have such a physique, I actually met..."

He also looked at Jiang Ning as if he had seen some treasure, which made Jiang Ning a little overwhelmed, a little hairy in his heart, and wanted to retreat in vain, but fortunately, he found that he could speak.

He said softly, "Uh, uncle, can we remove our fingers first." ”

Withdrawing his hand, Li Lingfei patted Jiang Ning on the shoulder, nodded and said, "You are Jiang Ning, my father and mother have already told me everything about you." ”

Jiang Ning turned his head a few times, "Hey, where are the fire scales? ”

shouted a few times around, but there was no response, and hearing Jiang Ning's shout, Li Shanshan and Lu Su looked over here together.

Li Lingfei interrupted Jiang Ning's shout, "Don't look for it, when you came back, I felt a trace of abnormal aura, deliberately exuding some cultivation, and that trace of abnormal aura disappeared, and you will tell me in detail about your experience of this trip." ”

Li Er's pharmacy closed unusually early today, but the house was very lively, and the family was sitting around the dining table at this time, and the table was full of rich dishes. It's all because the son and daughter-in-law of the old man Li Erliu, who had been missing for many years, came home.

The two old men sat on the main seat, and their smiles today were more than in previous years, and there was nothing more joyful than the safe return of their son and daughter-in-law.

After listening to Jiang Ning and Li Shanshan's narration, Li Lingfei was shocked, "This little girl named Fire Scale should be some kind of demon beast illusion, and it is very likely that she ran out of the depths of Qingfeng Ridge, and her cultivation is very high. ”

Jiang Ning and Li Shanshan were a little confused, so the poor and cute little girl turned out to be a monster?

"She traveled with you all the way, and she didn't hurt you, and I didn't notice her malice at the time, so don't worry about anything. As for why that little girl met you, the problem lies with Xiao Ning. ”

"On me?"

Jiang Ning touched whether there were any abnormal items on his body, and raised his hand to smell the corners of his clothes, but he didn't find anything wrong.

"Uncle Li, don't scare me. ”

"I only had one question before I met you, but after meeting you, I really can't imagine what kind of person would abandon you in the wilderness and mountains. I went there during the day, and my father and mother found you back then, but after too long, the landform has changed a lot, and I didn't find anything. The only thing that puzzles me is that the black long sword that my father used a stone to hold down is gone, and the stone seems to have never existed. ”

Li Erliu coughed slightly and said, "When I met Xiao Ning at that time, that sword was really strange everywhere, but I used all my strength to move it, but I couldn't move it in the slightest. It's so evil, I haven't been there until later, and I haven't talked about it with Xiao Ning, I hope you don't blame grandpa. ”

This is indeed never heard of grandpa, otherwise I would have run to look for it, and subconsciously held the pendant hidden under the clothes, engraved with the word "Jiang Ning", and I could feel the feeling of relaxation and comfort coming from the jade.

To be honest, if it weren't for the relationship between wearing it since childhood, he was used to its existence, and now he suddenly gave him something that might have been left by his parents, he would not be uncommon.

The old woman, who had been listening, got up and left the table as if she remembered something, and then returned to her seat with a small box in her hand, and inside the box was a silver-gray metal bracelet.

"This is an object that you have been wearing on your wrist when you were a child, and I don't know how you took it off yourself, and I wanted to put it back on for you but couldn't put it on, so my grandmother helped you put it away. ”

Jiang Ning remembers that after being taken off his hand by himself when he was a child, he was played with as a toy and thrown around.

Li Lingfei took the bracelet in his hand and looked at it carefully, but didn't find anything special, only said, "I've never seen this kind of material." ”

Jiang Ning took it in his hand and played with it for a while, the metal bracelet looked very ordinary, the surface was very smooth, there was no texture, the size of the bracelet was only enough to stuff a few fingers into himself, and he handed it to his grandmother again and asked her to help her continue to keep it.
