As the autumn sun slanted westward, the yang energy began to retreat, and the heat in the air was gone, leaving only a smell of blood that was so strong that it could not be dissolved.

Meng Ran looked at the seven corpses on the ground, and some wanted to vomit, he desperately resisted the desire to vomit for no reason, and commanded in a low voice: "Except for this Nanzhu senior, the rest of the people are all tied up and thrown stones into the lake area." As for Nanzhu seniors, let's find a place to bury them in the woods outside the courtyard. ”

When he had finished speaking, he began to move everything that could move.

Meng Ran took the seriously injured Geng Nursing Home and the two colorless maids to the dock with a solemn face, preparing to return to the Meng Mansion first, treat the injuries of Geng Nursing Home, and discuss the future itinerary by the way.

After Meng Ran and the four of them left, the rest of the people moved one after another, stripped off the clothes of the corpses on the ground, and then tied up some stones and slowly carried them to the lakeside.

As for the disposal of Nanzhu's corpse, everyone was a little difficult, after all, without handy tools, it was difficult to dig a decent hole.

Finally, with the efforts of Li Haoran and the swordsman surnamed Lin, a deep hole two feet wide, six feet long, and three feet deep appeared under the towering woods, and then Nanzhu was hastily buried.

The two grandmaster-level masters were lying in the woods and soaking in the cold lake like this, and they would never see the light of day again.

Maybe life is like this, you never know which one will come first, the accident or the future.

The ambitious young master of Chunxue Hall also counted on this trip to be a major event explained by his father, so as to lay a firm foundation for himself to control Chunxue Hall in the future.

Zhao Hongdao, who is only half a step away from the human fairyland, is for a promise in the past, and also for his old things. After all, if you go out like this, as long as you ensure the safety of your nephew Zhao Dongjie, and by the way, promote the doll that was set many years ago, you can stay away from the shackles of Chunxuetang and find your unfinished dreams back then.

Nanzhu, who is also in the realm of grandmasters, has selfish intentions that have nothing to do with Chunxue Hall, in order to get half of the broken Enlightenment Pill in the hands of Zhao Zongdao, the hall master of Chunxue Hall, she promised to protect Zhao Dongjie for a while, just to catch up with the footsteps of her senior brother.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and a dispensable quarrel will provoke the fall of two masters who are expected to reach the top realm of martial arts in the world, and it will also cause Chunxuetang's plan to fail, and change the pattern of the rivers and lakes in the future.

......

When the people of the Meng Mansion returned to the mansion, the wounded were recuperated, the frowning were sorrowful, the frightened and restless lay down on the bed, and the worried gathered together.

In the room of Geng Nursing Hospital, Meng Ran and Li Haoran sat on chairs, and the swordsman surnamed Lin stood quite consciously in the open space on one side, and the three of them looked at the weak figure on the bed with great concern.

Geng Huyuan's face was flushed with a strange flush, and his slightly trembling eyelids showed that he was not asleep, but was just exercising to heal his wounds.

Li Haoran sighed and asked softly, "Meng boy, did you feed Brother Geng the pill?"

Meng Ran replied: "Hey, but Uncle Geng only ate two, he said that it was a three-part poison, and he didn't want to eat more." ”

Li Haoran nodded and said, "That's right, it's just that his injuries are so serious, when will he get better." ”

Meng Ran shook his head gloomily and said in a low voice: "I don't know, it will take a while to think about it." ”

Li Haoran sighed again, his brows furrowed together, and muttered, "How is that good? Where should we go?"

Meng Ran thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Seniors can set off first with those who are willing to go north, and I will follow Uncle Geng, and I won't be slow down for a few days." As for those who don't want to leave here, let them live here for a good time, after all, that Nanzhu senior is quite reasonable, and her senior brother should also be a believer, and he won't make a move on ordinary people. ”

Li Haoran's brows furrowed even tighter, and his face was ugly: "How can this be done? Brother Geng taught me the exercises and taught me the apprentice sword technique, how can I just leave? How can I, Li Haoran, be this kind of person? I will never leave first." ”

At this moment, there was an unhurried knock on the door, pulling several people in the room back to reality.

Meng Ran took a deep breath, slowly walked to the door, opened the door very cautiously, and saw Uncle Ning outside.

Meng Ran breathed a long sigh of relief and asked, "What is the matter with Uncle Ning's coming?"

Uncle Ning smiled slightly and said, "Don't you invite me in?"

Meng Ran suddenly remembered that Uncle Ning was also a monk, and hurriedly turned sideways and invited Uncle Ning into the room.

After Uncle Ning entered the house, he looked at Geng Huyuan on the bed and said with a smile: "A blessing in disguise, not bad." ”

Li Haoran first looked at Uncle Ning with a puzzled expression, and then said happily: "What does Brother Ning mean......"

Uncle Ning nodded and said, "That's what you think." ”

Li Haoran was overjoyed and said, "It seems that it is only a matter of time before Brother Geng steps into the human fairyland. ”

Uncle Ning smiled, and said, "Have you seen that colorful butterfly?"

Li Haoran glanced at Meng Ran, and then said, "Only Meng Xiaozi saw it, and we didn't notice it." ”

Uncle Ning turned around and glanced at Meng Ran, with endless appreciation on his face, and said softly: "Then you also know about the Tongxin Lake Butterfly Knot?"

Li Haoran just nodded.

Uncle Ning continued: "Then you also know who you provoked?"

Li Haoran shook his head and said: "I only know that at least I am a master of personal fairyland, as for the rest, I don't know." ”

Uncle Ning sighed and said, "The Concentric Lake Butterfly Knot is a secret technique of the Dao Sect, and it is not well known. Being able to know this technique and perform it is definitely inextricably linked to the Dao Sect, in other words, you have made a big disaster. That Nanzhu has a great background, and if you kill her, I'm afraid that there will be endless troubles. ”

Li Haoran smiled bitterly and said: "People kill me for fish and meat, if there is no Brother Geng to make a move, we are afraid that we will all die." Since such consequences have been caused, there is nothing to be afraid of, just death. ”

Uncle Ning smiled playfully and said, "Actually, it's not that there is no other solution, it just depends on whether you are willing to accept it." ”

After Li Haoran heard this, a faint guard appeared in the depths of his eyes, and he asked softly, "I don't know what Brother Ning wants?"

Uncle Ning stretched out his left hand, gently pointed at Meng Ran, and said, "I want him." ”

Meng Ran just frowned, not knowing Uncle Ning's intentions.

Li Haoran asked in a strange tone, "Do you want Meng Ran to worship in the Great Buddha Temple?"

Uncle Ning sighed and asked, "How do you know about my master's lineage?"

Li Haoran slowly explained: "What you used on Meng Xiaozi before was for the Buddha's sect, according to my estimate, it should be one of the five best mudras of the Great Buddha Temple, this kind of mudra can only be practiced by the true disciples of the Great Buddha Temple, I don't know what your true identity is?"

Uncle Ning sighed first, and then said, "I am no longer a disciple of the Great Buddha Temple, just a layman in the world, Ning Shoucheng. ”

Ning Shoucheng's words, although he vetoed his identity as a disciple of the Great Buddha Temple, also exposed the secret of his study under the Great Buddha Temple.

Li Haoran's expression changed, and finally asked in a deep voice, "What does Brother Nanning want Meng Xiaozi to do?"

Ning Shoucheng glanced at Meng Ran and said with a smile: "I believe that you have already known Meng Ran's talent, I have no other plans, I just want to take him as an apprentice and pass on his mantle." ”

Li Haoran's face slowly softened, and he said, "I'm afraid that your plan is going to be shattered, and Meng Xiaozi is destined to worship the Taoist Sect." ”

"Oh?" Ning Shoucheng asked in surprise, "Why is this?"

Li Haoran didn't deliberately go around in circles, and said bluntly: "A master of the Immortal Six Heavens approved Meng Ran's life, saying that he could only change his fate by traveling east, otherwise he would die prematurely." ”

Ning Shoucheng smacked his lips and glanced at Meng Ran's face very seriously, but after a few breaths, his face was very solemn, obviously he had discovered something extraordinary.

"How is this possible?" Ning Shoucheng's expression seemed to have bumped into a ghost, and he said in disbelief.

Meng Ran took over the conversation and asked, "What did the seniors see?"

Ning Shoucheng retracted his expression and said very mysteriously: "Don't say it, don't say it." ”

Meng Ran rolled his eyes and pouted, "Do you three sect masters like to talk like this? ”

Ning Shoucheng smiled and asked, "Have you ever met other Three Sect masters before?"

Meng Ran hesitated for a moment and said, "I met an old Taoist priest on the streets of Lin'an City and said crazy things for a while. ”

Ning Shoucheng asked curiously, "What did the old Taoist say?"

Meng Ran scratched his sideburns, carefully recalled the scene of the day, picked a few important words and said: "That old Taoist priest said that I have three stops and balance, which is the only time he has seen in his life. ”

Meng Ran thought for a while and said slowly: "He also said that I was guilty of sins at a young age, which is an unprecedented miracle. Persuade me to go east and worship under the Taoist sect, so that I have a chance to resolve the calamity. ”

Uncle Ning frowned and listened for a while, and asked seriously, "Does that person have any explanations about his identity and origin?"

Meng Ran shook his head and said, "No, but he once gave me a cloud pattern jade pendant, which is engraved with the word 'Qing' of an ancient seal." ”

Uncle Ning couldn't wait to ask, "Where is that jade pendant?"

Meng Ran replied: "The jade pendant should be in my room, I'll look for it." ”

Uncle Ning bowed his head and said, "Go and come back quickly." ”

Meng Ran turned around and walked out of the room and towards his room.

In the room of Geng Nursing Courtyard, Li Haoran and the swordsman surnamed Lin stared wide-eyed, and then asked in a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Brother Ning, what do you want to do?

Ning Shoucheng smiled slightly, and said: "Since Meng Ran has no relationship with my Buddhist sect, then I won't force him, as for the solution, there is nothing, as long as you still live in the Meng Mansion, I can protect your safety, after all, I still have some confidence in my own cultivation." ”

Li Haoran's face darkened, and he asked, "I don't know what Brother Ning cultivates?"

Ning Shoucheng didn't answer directly, just walked to the table and splashed the tea in the cup into the air, and the tea that should have fallen to the ground condensed into a small Buddha in the air, which was quite charming.

Li Haoran's face turned pale and muttered, "Earth Immortal?"

Ning Shoucheng didn't answer, only to see his right hand lightly pointed, and the tea obediently returned to the cup.
