Chapter 53: Out of the Mountain and Into the Mountain
"Don't. ”
Lu Siche looked up at Li Lingjun and said in a most sincere and pleading tone, "Wait a little longer." ”
Li Lingjun hesitated for a long time, he pulled his hair and nodded.
He knew that what Lu Siche said was right.
Even if the woman with supreme power must be interested in his ideas, or have been waiting for him to take the initiative to make some requests, he knows very well that the woman who is usually admired by the people of Changling and wrapped in all kinds of praise actually has a ruthless and decisive side that ordinary people can hardly achieve.
If he makes too many concessions, then even if he can return to the capital of the Great Chu Dynasty, which is blocked by thousands of mountains and rivers, even if he can finally sit on the most exquisite throne in the world, the entire Great Chu may no longer be the original Great Chu.
But how much longer can you wait?
He turned his head sideways, looking at the dark night outside the window, and felt that every night in Changling was so long, but the time was still so insufficient.
Lu Siche turned his head, but his heart was pounding, and his breathing stopped involuntarily.
Because he saw that Li Lingjun's hairline was already snow-white.
When the rooster crows, a faint red light flashes on the platform in front of the small Taoist temple at the highest point of the Aries Cave.
On the futon in the small Taoist temple, Xue Wangxu slowly opened his eyes, he looked at Li Daoji who was standing in the last darkness before dawn, cleared his throat, and asked softly, "That young man's recent cultivation can be regarded as smooth?"
Li Daoji said with a cold chin on his head: "He is the most smooth cultivator I have ever seen, after the five qi sank into the Jade Palace a few days ago and broke through to the cultivation of the first realm, there is no confusion in the next practice." The obstacles and levels that a practitioner will encounter do not seem to exist in front of him at all. ”
A hint of excitement also appeared in Xue Wangxu's calm eyes, he looked at Li Daoji, and asked seriously, "Do you think it is really possible for him to break through to the second realm before the sword sacrifice trial?"
"That depends on the speed at which he breaks through the realm, after all, the breaking of the Great Realm is completely different from the obstacles in his usual cultivation, if there are not many obstacles to even this kind of breakthrough, then he should become the kind of monster who breaks through to the Qi Refining Realm after practicing for a month. Li Daoji said these words carefully, and then in a slightly cold tone, he continued: "It's just that in the past night, he was almost killed. ”
Xue Wangxu was stunned.
He originally thought that Li Daoji appeared in front of him so early because he wanted to discuss Ding Ning's cultivation with him.
Li Daoji glanced at Xue Wangxu with a cold face, and before Xue Wangxu could speak, he had already continued: "I don't know who it is, but the leader is a True Yuan Realm, and there are many talisman cultivators on his body, and the Divine Capital Prison is already investigating this matter." ”
Xue Wangxu's brows furrowed, but he still didn't say anything.
Li Daoji looked at him, and then said: "Ding Ning broke two ribs and suffered some injuries, but he was still quite angry, and a person who was just a person in the market who was in the Qi Refining Realm actually killed that cultivator of the True Yuan Realm. ”
Xue Wangxu's brows stretched suddenly, his eyes were full of strange flames, and he praised softly: "This young man really gave us a long face in the Aries Cave. ”
At this time, Li Daoji's brows furrowed.
Because in his opinion, this is not something to be happy about in any way.
The strange brilliance in Xue Wangxu's eyes was still expanding, but his wrinkled old face was also beginning to be filled with a strange brilliance.
He thought for a moment, then stood up.
"You're here today, don't go anywhere. He looked in a very good mood and smiled at Li Daoji and said.
Li Daoji's breathing was inexplicable, he felt something, looked up at Xue Wangxu, and said slowly: "Since the Divine Capital Prison has intervened, Ding Ning will naturally return to the mountain safely, and you don't need to go out at all." ”
"That's different. ”
Xue Wuxu shook his head, his eyes that seemed to be forever indifferent began to be filled with a rare look of pride, this look was very similar to the look on Du Qingjiao's face when he left the Aries Cave.
"Over the years, there have been very few things in Aries Cave that have made me happy and my face brightened. ”
"I finally had a half-day mystery, maybe even a student who refined qi in January, and it was specially left for me when my senior brother left, but I was almost killed last night. ”
"Of course I know that the Divine Capital Prison will definitely let him return to the Aries Cave safely, but I haven't been out of the Aries Cave for a long time, and I won't go out... Even if I live, others will think that I am dead. ”
"Do you know what the most terrible person in the world is? not the kind of person who is not afraid of death, but someone who dies quickly and does not have to worry about whether he will die. I'm too old, I'm dying old, but at the end of the day, I still have to remind people of that. ”
Xue Wangxu's voice was still echoing in the small Taoist temple, but his figure had disappeared.
disappeared in front of Li Daoji, and disappeared among the white clouds pressing on this Taoist temple.
When the first rays of dawn shone into the sycamore, Ding Ning woke up as usual.
He coughed softly, the pain of breaking two ribs was nothing to him, but under the intense force, the feeling of body aches that he hadn't felt for a long time still made him feel very uncomfortable.
The eldest grandson, Qianxue, sat at the window as usual, combing her long hair like a waterfall.
"The carriage in Aries Cave is parked outside the door right now. ”
She didn't turn around, and said coldly: "But there is one more person in the carriage, and the coachman doesn't notice it." It should be a cultivator who has reached the fifth realm, but he was injured, and it should be Wang Taixu. ”
Ding Ning knew that her perception would definitely not be a problem at such a distance, and his eyes were full of joy.
"Today is a little special, I went back to the Aries Cave earlier, and I can't cook porridge for you. While washing up quickly, he said apologetically to the eldest grandson Qianxue.
The eldest grandson, Qianxue, was silent.
She wanted to ridicule each other, but she vaguely felt that at least the cultivation progress in this alley over the years had exceeded her expectations, and she had even become accustomed to what Ding Ning had done for her many times.
Just now, when he told her that he couldn't cook porridge for her, in that time, what she was thinking about was not that there was nothing wrong with not eating a meal, but that if she didn't have porridge to drink, would she go out and buy something to eat?
Maybe buy a bowl of the kind of noodles he eats regularly?
......
Stopped in front of the carriage outside the wine shop, the middle-aged coachman with a dignified face waited anxiously.
He already knew what happened last night, knew that Ding Ning was not lightly injured, but according to Ding Ning's daily pick-up and drop-off for most of the past half a month, he knew that even if Ding Ning couldn't go back to Aries Cave today, he would inform him.
Suddenly saw the door of the wine shop open, and at first sight saw Ding Ning, whose face was a little inexplicably pale, the coachman's face suddenly appeared happy, and at the same time, a guilty look immediately appeared in his eyes.
"How's your injury, do you want to go back to the Aries Cave today?"
"If you want to go back, even if you treat your injuries, Aries Cave is definitely better than the doctors in this neighborhood. ”
"I was negligent yesterday... Later, an official came to check my carriage, and the axle was cut by a sharp object after entering Changling, and someone should have done something on the road. It's just that you're already a student of the Aries Cave, not to mention those teachers in the Aries Cave... Even the officials of the various divisions will treat you differently, and I really didn't expect anyone to deal with you. ”
"This was an accident, and you're not a cultivator, so finding out early could have killed you. ”
After a few words of conversation with the coachman, when the coachman turned around and reined in the horse, Ding Ning quickly lifted the curtain of the car to a small corner, and then flashed in quickly.
Looking at the figure that was silently curled up on the soft collapse, Ding Ning first made a silent gesture, but coughed lightly, and said to the driver outside: "I'm afraid it's more urgent today than usual, if it's okay to get out of the car, please hurry." ”
The coachman, who was blessed by the Aries Cave on weekdays, thought that Ding Ning was in a hurry to go back to the Aries Cave to receive treatment, and said simply: "I have put more cushions and bedding inside, so you should be careful when it will be bumpy." ”
After answering this sound, the coachman gave a whip and drove away.
Under the cover of the sharp sound of horses' hooves and the sound of rolling wheels, Ding Ning looked at Wang Taixu, who was curled up beside him, his face was like gold paper, and even his body seemed to have shrunk a little, and said softly: "It's so miserable... All of them have to try to hide in this carriage in the Aries Cave?"
Mrs. Wang looked weakly at Ding Ning, who seemed to have already noticed that she was hiding in the carriage, and a pale smile appeared on her face.
"It's miserable. ”
"The brothers who followed me to fight the world, who were able to hold up two floors after my death, all died last night. ”
"In order to inquire about the news, in order to be able to get to your carriage, two more people died for me. ”
"I have to admit that you have once again given me the greatest surprise, you and I were the only survivors of those assassinations last night. ”
Hearing these words, Ding Ning was not shocked, he just groaned and said softly: "It seems that the noble man in the army behind Jin Lin Tang is unwilling?"
"As long as he survives these few days, I will make his unwillingness to pay the price. Wang Taixu swallowed and said softly.
Ding Ning shook his head, he didn't answer Wang Taixu's words, he just muttered, "Aries Cave won't leave me alone, right? at least Li Daoji should come out to pick me up..."
The speeding carriage was already driving on the official road in the suburbs of Changling.
It stands to reason that on this kind of wider road, the carriage will run faster, but Ding Ning and Wang Taixu, who were sitting in the carriage, could feel that the speed of the carriage had slowed down.
More than a dozen chariots glowing with a cold bronze light occupied most of the road ahead, and dozens of sergeants in scale armor were checking the passing pedestrians and vehicles one by one.
Ding Ning lifted the corner of the curtain, and he saw the cold reflection on the scale armor and swords on the scales and swords on the sergeants.
