At night, the night finally seemed to be unable to support the precipitation of winter, and the sky finally floated with white snowflakes.

The carriage waiting at the gate of Baiyang Cave Mountain was originally wrapped in black cotton cloth, but now it is slowly dyed white.

Ding Ning walked out of the gate of the White Aries Cave.

He didn't have an umbrella, and after walking to the front of the car, he saluted the Jing Demon Sect, who was still wearing a gray robe, patted his shirt, grabbed his hair, and removed the snow chips accumulated on his body, and then lifted the heavy cotton black curtain and entered the carriage.

"You're a real vain. ”

Looking at Wang Taixu, who was wearing a fox fur jacket, like piling himself in a pile of fox fur, Ding Ning couldn't help but say.

"Probably after this winter, it will not be so empty until next spring. Wang Taixu smiled slightly, and this smile made him look like a cunning old fox, "Why did you think of seeing me today?"

The Jing Demon Sect outside the carriage had already begun to drive, and the carriage was slightly bumpy.

Ding Ning pulled a cushion and leaned against it, and said, "I heard that there has been a big incident in Changling City in the past few days. ”

"You say it's Bai Shanshui?" Wang Taixu glanced at him, nodded and said: "You probably only found out today that the sky has been turned upside down in Changling City, and it is said that the two prime ministers and the queen are extremely angry, and many officials in Changling City have been removed from their posts and exiled. Especially when Bai Shanshui was fighting and singing, the lyrics he sang were too presumptuous, and he successfully escaped, and it is estimated that the turmoil will expand. ”

Ding Ning groaned: "Bai Shanshui made a move, but there were no enough people around him to prevent him from escaping from Changling... Do you know the inside story?"

Wang Taixu said: "It was Changling Wei who tracked down some of the stolen things from the imperial tomb, and as a result, Fan Zhuo and Bai Shanshui were forced out. At that time, Fan Zhuo was in the caravan that was being investigated, and he must not be able to hide the identity of a powerful cultivator, so he made a brazen attack and led to Bai Shanshui. It's just that Changlingwei directly surrounded the caravan at the beginning, so coincidentally, I'm afraid there are some hidden secrets that we can't know. ”

Ding Ning frowned slightly, and said: "It should be that someone in Changling wanted to deliberately scare Bai Shanshui away, but I heard that Bai Shanshui rushed out from the Jiujiang County Hall and escaped from the Wei River." This kind of cultivation should be much stronger than Zhao Shu. ”

Wang Taixu smiled slightly, and said: "Bai Shanshui was originally a figure with the same name as Mr. Zhao Si, if you want to see me today, it shouldn't be because you want to discuss Bai Shanshui's cultivation with me, right?"

Ding Ning glanced at him and said, "What have you been doing lately?"

Wang Taixu's expression became serious, and he said seriously: "Actually, what have I done recently, I would like to hear your opinion." After all, other people don't know, but I know very well that the reason why I was able to survive the battle with Jin Lin Tang was because of your plan. ”

"Xue Wangxu told you when he took you into the Aries Cave before that it was impossible to ask a few more people to pay for the lives of those brothers of yours, and I don't think you would do such a stupid thing. Ding Ning looked at him and said, "If it were me, I would definitely take advantage of this time to blackmail the military and take the opportunity to ask for more benefits." Especially at this moment, because of the matter of Bai Shanshui, the queen and the two phases are angry, and the people in the military must want to calm things down and dare not do anything out of the ordinary. Especially since you have experienced the last assassination and are prepared this time, they should also understand that even if they kill you, many of their things will be shaken out by some of your subordinates immediately. ”

"I really admire you, and I feel more and more that even if those legendary monsters can overpower you in terms of cultivation speed, it is impossible to have the vision that directly clears the clouds like you. Wang Taixu looked at Ding Ning with emotion, "I have now given the Terracotta Division a headache, and I propose to do the business of unpacking and mining." ”

"The lion was right to open his mouth. ”

Ding Ning was silent for a moment, "But you didn't choose to leave Changling, but chose to go up to the top of the building, which means that you still want to fight with the powerful man who killed your brother in the end." ”

"The people who dared to control Jinlin Tang to do those things, and who were able to mobilize so many cultivators to kill me that night, should be either a general or a prince. Wang Taixu coughed lightly, "Naturally, I can't move such a person now, but those brothers of mine are really my siblings, even if I am willing to cut off my hands and feet to replace them, it is impossible for them to come back alive." I hope that one day in the future, I can also make the person who killed my brother pay some due price. ”

"Now that you've done that, I'd like to ask you for your help in doing something. Ding Ning lowered his head and said softly.

This is undoubtedly not in line with Ding Ning's attitude at the beginning.

Because at the beginning, Ding Ning didn't want to have too much entanglement with the two floors. And this matter should be very important to Ding Ning, otherwise he would not have said it so solemnly.

So Wang Taixu was a little strange, "What's the matter?"

Ding Ning said slowly: "In the final stage of your talks with the Soldiers and Horses, see if you can win some business related to the prison." ”

Wang Taixu was slightly stunned: "Prison-related business?"

Ding Ning nodded: "It's best to be able to go in and out of the prison, and you can get in touch with those people in charge of the prison who are familiar with the business." ”

Wang Taixu glanced at him and said, "I'll do my best." ”

Ding Ning frowned slightly: "Don't you think my request is strange, don't you want to ask me why?"

"If you can refine your qi in January, and you can finally win a competition like the Sword Sacrifice Trial, you will definitely be a person who will do great things in the future." Wang Taixu laughed: "Since we are all people who do great things, it is not strange to do whatever we do. ”

......

The snow-covered carriage cut through the alley and stopped outside the door of the nameless liquor store in Wutongluo.

Ding Ning got out of the carriage and waved goodbye to the Jing Demon Sect and Wang Taixu.

Pushing open the hidden door, the eldest grandson Qianxue, as usual, lit a small oil lamp and waited for him. A few items of food on the table must have just come out of the steamer, still steaming.

Ding Ning saw that the eldest grandson Qianxue had changed into a new jacket, although it was the most common style in the streets, some of the most common floral decorations seemed to have become particularly vivid and bright on her clothes.

So when he sat down, he couldn't help but say: "Others rely on clothes to look good, but you make clothes look good." ”

The eldest grandson Qianxue didn't care about his words at all, and said coldly: "Why did you come back in Wang Taixu's carriage again?"

Ding Ning began to eat and said, "Because I have something I want him to help with." ”

The eldest grandson Qianxue didn't ask anything in depth, this was a natural agreement between her and Ding Ning over the years.

"Did you really win the Sword Sacrifice Trial?" Seeing Ding Ning eating sweetly, she was also very rare, or she had never taken a piece of sweet rice cake and ate it slowly, and asked coldly.

Ding Ning sighed lightly, and immediately took out a square wooden box from his sleeve and handed it to the eldest grandson Qianxue.

The eldest grandson Qianxue didn't need to look at it to know that the green fat jade amber in the square wooden box was very important to her.

She didn't pick up the square wooden box as soon as possible, but looked at Ding Ning and said slowly, "Thank you." ”

Ding Ning said casually: "What is there to thank between you and me." ”

The eldest grandson Qianxue said coldly: "This time is different from before... You should understand that after the last pass, with the addition of this green jade pearl, my sword will be stabilized, and I will not have much special dependence on you in the future. If it were me, I might not have given you this green fat jade pearl. ”

"It doesn't matter. Ding Ning raised his head, licked the corners of his lips and looked at her, and said, "Because I didn't want to rely on you to do anything all these years." ”

The eldest grandson, Qianxue, frowned.

In addition to her cultivation, she rarely thought about anything other than her cultivation over the years, but she was not stupid, so she quickly thought that although she did have great power compared to ordinary cultivators, Ding Ning had indeed relied on her to do anything over the years. Didn't even let her make a move to protect him.

Ding Ning didn't say anything more for a while.

"You sleep alone tonight. ”

The eldest grandson, Qianxue, also inexplicably didn't say anything more, picked up the square wooden box and walked to the backyard, "I owe you a favor." ”

Ding Ning smiled bitterly.

......

When walking through the backyard into the bedroom, pieces of snowflakes fell on the flawless face of the eldest grandson Qianxue, feeling the coldness of these snowflakes, the eldest grandson Qianxue felt more and more that the grievances of this Changling were too complicated.

She didn't think about anything more, removed her chaotic thoughts from her body, and once again turned her sea of consciousness into a blank sheet of paper.

As in the past, she lay down on the bed and in her clothes.

The green jade amber in the square wooden box exudes an extremely soft halo, and at the same time, there is a refreshing faint fragrance.

A wisp of true yuan poured out from her fingertips, instantly crushing this green fat jade pearl, and all the powder followed her breath and entered her abdomen.

When her divine thoughts sank into the sea of qi and touched the dark blue sword in the jade palace, the sword once again became as irritable and restless as a dragon that had been imprisoned, exuding an incomparably fierce aura, as if it was about to forcibly pierce her jade palace, and then rush out of her body from the sea of splitting qi.

However, streams of pale cyan vitality continued to surge from her body, sinking into the sea of qi.

These pale cyan vitality that exuded a soft halo continued to merge into the Jade Palace, blending into the dark blue fierce sword.

The dark blue fierce sword slowly became calm, and began to truly accept the breath in her jade palace.

Her mind began to slowly merge with the sword.

In the darkness, a faint blue flame flashed in the center of her eyebrows, completely like a small blue sword.
