Chapter 9: Begging

There are countless schools of cultivation in the world, and each practitioner's innate physique is different, so in the past hundreds of years, I don't know how many grandmaster-level figures have been produced, how many kinds of exercises have been created, and how many powerful means of borrowing the vitality of heaven and earth have been created.

The Minshan Sword Sect and the Lingxu Sword Sect of the Great Qin Dynasty have studied the means of the imperial sword to the extreme, while the many sects of the Chu Dynasty, the Great Yan Dynasty, and the Great Qi Dynasty are beyond the reach of the cultivators of other dynasties in terms of refining weapons, talismans, and the path of Yin Qi.

Even the three dynasties of Han, Zhao, and Wei that have perished, in addition to hundreds of tantric cultivators, the Nanyang Danzong of the Han Dynasty, the sword furnace of the Zhao Dynasty, and the Yunshui Palace of the Wei Dynasty can only be achieved by a few sects in the world in terms of cultivation methods and cultivation methods.

However, among all the cultivation exercises, the Nine Dead Silkworm Divine Skill is undoubtedly the most powerful and mysterious one.

No one knew the origin of this exercise, but it was vaguely speculated that it was practiced by the invincible Emperor of the Great You Dynasty hundreds of years ago.

It is even speculated that the reason why Emperor You, who was the strongest cultivator of the year, died and returned to heaven when he was in his fifties was because of an accident in the practice of this exercise.

The reason for this speculation is that after Emperor You, there were the most amazing and brilliant people in all dynasties who had obtained this exercise, but all those people, including the one who was almost taboo in the mouth of all the people of the Great Qin Dynasty, did not dare to practice this exercise.

If no one practices it, no one in the world knows how powerful and wonderful this exercise is.

It's just that the practitioners of later generations know from the records of some bamboo slips left behind by the You Dynasty that in the process of practicing this exercise, many people will be killed... Moreover, when it touches the true essence of the rest of the cultivators, it will make a sound like ten thousand silkworms gnawing.

However, the cultivators at that time could be sure that this kind of exercise could not directly devour other people's true yuan and improve some of their own cultivation like several magic skills of the Great Qi Dynasty.

What is the use of touching the other party's true element and making this sound of ten thousand silkworms gnawing, and what does it mean?

This inexplicable speculation alone makes people feel even more mysterious and frightening.

However, what made Song Shenshu extremely frightened at this moment was not because of the exercise itself, but because this exercise eventually died out in the hands of that person.

That man used to have a lot of doormen.

And Song Shenshu, many years ago, was just one of the most humble coachmen who helped that person's doorman drive.

Now, the Nine Dead Silkworm Divine Skill, which was supposed to completely disappear with the death of that person, appeared in front of him very really, carrying countless images sealed in his heart, and countless pictures that he deliberately didn't think about, suddenly pressed on him like a mountain.

His body was even more unable to move, and his whole body twitched violently.

He began to realize that what had been circulating in the Changling Tomb some time ago turned out to be true.

......

Ding Ning looked at Song Shenshu, his movements did not pause in the slightest, and his fingertips seemed to smooth out the folds on Song Shenshu's clothes, carefully sweeping every crimson true element on the surface of Song Shenshu's body.

With the subtle sound of countless spring encroaching on mulberries, the crimson true elements disappeared under his fingertips.

"What does it taste like to sell friends for glory?" While doing this, he asked Song Shenshu in a serious voice, as if he really wanted to get an answer.

Hearing this, Song Shenshu was finally convinced of his reasoning, and his fear finally returned to his own situation, "Don't kill me!" He was sweating like rain, shaking his already stiff laryngeal muscles, and making a hoarse and unpleasant sound.

"Debts must be paid. ā€

Ding Ning looked at him with the eyes of the poor worm, "You tell me, apart from this life, what else can you use to pay off your debts?"

Song Shenshu's eyes were almost covered with his own sweat, he opened his eyes vigorously, and said hurriedly: "If... If I tell you some secrets that are more important than my life, will you keep me alive?"

Ding Ning's brows furrowed slightly, he muttered for a few breaths, and said, "Yes." ā€

Song Shenshu's eyes lit up with hope, but he hesitated for a while.

Ding Ning sneered: "You should know what the name of his sword is." ā€

Song Shenshu's eyes lit up.

"When Li Guanlan was killed, the person who betrayed him was Mu Zi, and now he has changed his name to Liang Lian. ā€

He controlled his throat, which was getting stiffer and stiffer, rubbing and making an ugly sound, telling what he thought was the most important first secret.

Ding Ning's eyes darkened imperceptibly.

Those familiar names are many, many debts to him.

"Liang Lian?"

"The general of the Tiger Wolf Northern Army, the military merits are full, and the next one who is the most promising to be crowned marquis?"

His brow furrowed deeply, and he said to himself.

"That's him. Song Shenshu's desire to survive became stronger and stronger, and although it was more difficult to speak, his voice was louder.

You should understand that as long as you say that these things are true, I will find out in the future without you having to say them. Ding Ning raised his head and looked at him indifferently.

Song Shenshu swallowed hard, and his heart beat violently.

He knew that the secret he was going to export would definitely satisfy the other party, but he also knew very well that if it was known that the secret was told by him, the outcome of his future would definitely be even more miserable than it was now.

"Lin Boiled Wine is not dead yet. He looked at Ding Ning with a begging gaze and hissed.

Ding Ning's body shook, his face lost its calm for the first time, and he exclaimed, "What did you say!"

He was locked up in the deepest cell of the water prison. ā€

Song Shenshu felt his heart jump out of his throat, "Yan Xiang wanted to get some secrets of cultivation from him, so he didn't kill him... People from the outside world thought he was dead, and even Li Xiang and Ye Si Shou didn't know the secret at all. ā€

Ding Ning's face returned to calm, he was silent for a moment, and asked seriously, "Then how do you know this secret?"

Song Shenshu didn't dare to look him in the eyes, "Because you can't dig anything useful out of his mouth, Yan Xiang has thought of some methods... He once had people rob the prison on a false basis, and some of the people who robbed the prison were people Lin Zhujiu knew before. ā€

"You are also one of the people Lin Zhuojiu knows, but he doesn't know that you are all Yan Xiang's people. Ding Ning's face was blindly calm, "What happened later?"

Song Shenshu said with difficulty: "I don't know where there is a mistake or omission, Lin Boiled Wine was not fooled at all." ā€

"His mind itself is more cautious than Yan Xiang, how can those small means deceive him?" Ding Ning lowered his head slightly and said softly: "He must be very uncomfortable now." ā€

Song Shenshu didn't know how to answer, he didn't say anything.

Ding Ning didn't look at him, but said softly: "No?"

Song Shenshu's heart beat violently again.

He could tell that the other party was not satisfied.

"I—" so he trembled and said the last extremely important secret he knew, "The legendary Lonely Mountain Sword Treasure should exist, and most of the clues may be in the hands of Bai Shanshui of Yunshui Palace." ā€

"Lonely Mountain Sword Hide?"

Ding Ning's breath paused slightly, this was another news he hadn't expected at all.

Legend has it that the Lonely Mountain Sword Sect is a very mysterious and powerful sect, I don't know when it originated or when it died, but there have always been rumors that this sect has a secret treasure that contains many treasures.

In addition to some lost cultivation techniques, what made all practitioners even more excited were some extinct elixirs and refining materials.

As more and more things related to the Lonely Mountain Sword Sect were discovered, now cultivators in the world could already be sure that the Lonely Mountain Sword Sect and the secret treasure did exist, but there was no exact clue where this "Lonely Mountain Sword Treasure" was.

"How do you know?" Ding Ning's eyes flickered, and he raised his head to look at Song Shenshu and asked again.

"Someone in the Shendu Prison once brought several fragments of jade slips to the Jingshi Library for identification, the text on the fragment is very peculiar, after we thoroughly checked the classics, we found that it is the unique text of the Gushan Sword Sect. ā€

Song Shenshu breathed heavily and said, "And I secretly checked that the people of the Divine Capital Prison had a battle with the remnants of Yunshui Palace. They were sure that there were more fragments of this jade slip in the hands of the remnants of Yunshui Palace. ā€

Ding Ning didn't speak for a while.

Even if the cultivators of Yunshui Palace are now as deeply hidden as the cultivators of Zhao Jianlu, as long as they are willing to spend their time, they can always find some clues.

"Anything else?"

After more than a dozen breaths, he looked at Song Shenshu and asked again.

Song Shenshu looked at him helplessly, and his brain gradually went blank.

He really couldn't think of any secrets that carried enough weight.

"Good. ā€

Ding Ning looked at his face, nodded as if he was very satisfied, leaned down, and leaned into his ear, "In this case, you can die." ā€

Song Shenshu's eyes widened in disbelief.

At this moment, a strong energy easily pierced his heart, cutting off several of the most important bloodlines for a person's life.

"You..."

He couldn't believe that his life was about to end, and a stiff hand didn't know where the strength came from, grabbing the corner of Ding Ning's clothes.

"It's strange why I killed you without my word, right?"

Ding Ning looked at his gradually dilated eyes, and said softly: "He is the most promising person in the world, so you think that the disciples he accepts will definitely keep his word." ā€

"It's a pity that he's dead, can the set under his door still be used now?"

Ding Ning calmly broke Song Shenshu's fingers and continued.

Song Shenshu heard this sentence clearly, and he felt the anger of being deceived, but in the next moment, he only heard a strange sound coming from his throat.

That was his last breath.

He died in a fit of remorse.
