The top of the mountain.

Since Ning Fangmu went to the capital of the Chen Dynasty a few months ago, he announced the mountain closure order when he returned to the mountain, and ordinary disciples must not leave the mountain half a step away from the mountain without the order of the mountain master. Since then, more than 20 Spirit Gathering Arrays in the whole mountain have been opened in full force, and all the disciples of the Earth Lung Mountain must practice hard, and they will be severely punished if they slack off.

In the entire sect, there are more than 6,000 disciples in the Earth Lung Mountain, more than the total number of Changmen, Xuanfu, and Huangmen. More than twenty Spirit Gathering Arrays were simply not enough to accommodate so many disciples, so Ning Fangmu ordered that within this year, only core disciples could enter the Spirit Gathering Array, and ordinary disciples were excluded.

There are only more than 1,500 core disciples, and the remaining ordinary disciples can only find their own way out.

Ning Fangmu's explanation to the ordinary disciples was that Di Lung Mountain had to go all out to prepare for the sect competition at the end of the year, and it had to be like this. However, some people with a quick mind smelled a hint of an unusual smell, and such a fanfare move, where did it seem like preparing for a big competition between the sects?

However, the father and son of the Ning family have been in charge of Dilung Mountain for more than 100 years, and under the obscenity, they still firmly control the situation.

But in the past few days, something strange has happened in the Lungs Mountain.

One after another, the core disciples reacted, and the Spirit Gathering Array seemed to be a little ineffective, although the aura in the array was still much stronger than that of the outside world, but compared with before, the aura had decreased by at least more than fifty percent. Ning Fangmu originally thought it was an isolated phenomenon, but after a few days, there was a problem with more than 20 spirit gathering arrays, Ning Fangmu personally went to check it, and sure enough, the aura in the array was pitifully less than before.

What's going on?

Ning Fangmu was suffering from not knowing the art of spells, so he pulled down his face and went to Xuanfu Mountain in person, and invited Lu Wangshan, a Taoist with one heart.

Old Mountain Lord Lu came in a hurry reluctantly, only glanced at it, and said that there is no problem with the Spirit Gathering Array, and the problem is your Lung Mountain. Ning Fangmu was even more puzzled, and endured his temperament to ask for advice again, but the old mountain master Lu only left one sentence, you yourself feel what is the difference between your lungs and mountains, and then walked away.

Although Ning Fangmu knew Lu Wangshan's temperament, he was still choked by this old miscellaneous hair, but he was taken aback when he released his divine sense according to Lu Wangshan's instructions.

He finally found out what was wrong.

The aura between heaven and earth on this side of the Earth Lung Mountain is much thinner than before!

Ning Fangmu never dreamed that the problem was actually on the Earth Lung Mountain, you must know that the Earth Lung Mountain is not inferior to the Cave Heaven Blessed Land of Nagato, for thousands of years, how could there have been a lack of spiritual energy? This made him a little panicked, but he couldn't find the cause of the problem after thinking about it.

Is God going to destroy my lungs?

Ning Fangmu was thinking wildly, but he was helpless. However, he already had the intention of replacing Nagato, thinking that one day he would occupy Tianmen Peak, so what could he do if he abandoned the Earth Lung Mountain?

If the aura is insufficient, then use time to make up for it.

From then on, Ning Fangmu ordered the core disciples of the Earth Lung Mountain not to go out of the Gathering Spirit Array for half a step, twelve hours a day, and not to waste half a bit of time. This can toss Ning Xiu and a group of other core disciples enough, but Ning Fangmu Ling is like a mountain, who dares not to obey? Although thousands of people complained, they didn't dare to let go of a fart.

On this day, Ning Xiu was closing his eyes and cultivating penance in the Spirit Gathering Array.

As Ning Fangmu's only grandson, Ning Xiu has high hopes, but this guy's qualifications are really ordinary, although he spends a lot of panacea on weekdays, but after reaching the peak of enlightenment, it will be difficult to advance an inch. He is also not very self-motivated, and he only cares about yelling at five and drinking six on weekdays, but this time Ning Fangmu is ruthless, including Ning Xiu, all core disciples are treated equally. Ning Xiu had been locked up in the Spirit Gathering Array for dozens of days, but he was already going crazy.

When I was bored, I saw a dozen people coming like a gust of wind outside. The leader was a young man in his twenties, with sharp-beaked monkey gills and yellowed eyes. The man came to the outside of the formation in a few steps, but he didn't dare to enter, just gave a deep salute and said with a sneer: "I've seen the young mountain master." ”

Ning Xiu's eyes lit up suddenly.

"Zhang Monkey, what did you bring me to eat today?"

This young man like a monkey is named Zhang Shan, and he is a small leader of the outer hall of the Earth Lung Mountain.

In recent years, due to the growing strength of the Earth Lung Mountain, Ning Fangmu followed the example of Nagato and also set up four halls in the Earth Lung Mountain. Although it is ostensibly subject to the management of the Nagato Fourth Hall, in fact, there is a tendency to set up a separate door. Among them, the outer hall of Dilung Mountain is a hot place, after all, the foreign affairs of more than 6,000 disciples in Dilung Mountain are in charge, and the oil and water are quite rich.

Originally, with Zhang Shan's qualifications, he was not qualified to enter the outer hall at all, but because he won Ning Xiu's favor, he got what he wanted. So Zhang Shan served Ning Xiu like an emperor, and during this period of time, he sent Ning Xiu delicious food and drink every day.

He carried the food box with his own hands, and put the good wine and food on the sidelines, and said with a hippie smile while he was busy: "Young Mountain Lord, I will bring you someone today." ”

"Who is it?" asked Ning Xiu, who had come to the sidelines, curiously.

I saw Zhang Shan beckon, and a burly black-clothed disciple walked over with a small person behind him, and immediately slammed it on the ground. The little man snorted, and only got up after a while, but it was a little girl who was only ten years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a full beauty.

"Is that you?"

To say that Ning Xiu's eyelids are very high on weekdays, how can he recognize the six thousand disciples of the whole earth lung mountain, but he actually recognizes this little girl. It's not that Ning Xiu has any special quirks, but that this little girl has some relationship with a guy he hates to death in his heart.

This little girl was the cultivation seed that Lu Xuan sent to the capital of the Chen Dynasty a few months ago.

The immortal bones are two and a half, and although the qualifications are not upper, they are already good in the Dilung Mountain.

Ning Xiu still remembered that the child's name was Luo Luo.

"What did you bring her for?"

Ning Xiu frowned.

Zhang Shan bent his waist and said with a smile: "Young Mountain Lord, listen to me, this little girl is really interesting." You also know that our outer hall has the responsibility of patrolling the mountain, what did you say today, I actually found that this little girl secretly wanted to sneak out of the mountain, and was caught red-handed by our brothers. And, I found this from her. ”

He stretched out his hand, and Ning Xiu looked down, only to see that there were three brown pills in his hand.

"This is Guiyuan Dan?"

Zhang Shan nodded hurriedly and said with a smile: "According to her qualifications, Shanmen allocates a Guiyuan Dan every month, and this little girl has saved up for three months, and then she wants to slip down the mountain." Young Mountain Lord, what do you think we should do with her?"

Ning Xiu's eyes narrowed, and immediately showed a sneer of ill will.

He looked at Luo Luo and sneered, "Why did you secretly go down the mountain?

Luo Luo's face was innocent, and although his small body was trembling slightly, he still pursed his lips stubbornly. She replied crisply: "My mother is not in good health, and I want to take this pill back to cure her illness." ”

"Heal?

Ning Xiu smiled and said, "You took the elixir given to you by the Mountain Gate to save a mortal? If you do this, are you worthy of the cultivation that the Mountain Gate has cultivated you?"

"That's my mother!"

Luo Luo was still a child after all, and immediately cried with tears streaming down his face: "This Guiyuan Pill was originally given to me by the mountain gate, young mountain master, please let me go back, can't I send the pill and go back to the mountain immediately?"

"Nonsense, is your local Lung Mountain a place where you can come and go whenever you want?"

Ning Xiu's face was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Since you have come to the Earth Lung Mountain, you are already extraordinary, and everything in the world has nothing to do with you. Your parents are just mortals, and after a few decades, they will be just two white bones, what does it have to do with you? Besides, although the Guiyuan Pill was given to you by the Mountain Gate, it was to assist you in your cultivation, not to be wasted on your sick mother!"

Luo Luo looked at Ning Xiu blankly, unable to speak for a long time.

But my heart was already cold.

Ning Xiu sneered, turned her head to Zhang Shan and said, "Zhang Hou'er, send her to the Discipline Hall, tell Hall Master Chen, just say that I said it, and punish her severely." ”

Sun Shan nodded hurriedly, and asked tentatively, "Young Mountain Lord, this ...... To what extent?"

"Going down the mountain without permission is a capital crime, and when she is still young, she will be whipped, well, as long as she is not beaten to death. Ning Xiu said with a gloomy face. Zhang Shan nodded again and again, dragged Luo Luo and left, among the several black-clothed people behind him, two of them glanced at each other and sighed secretly.

How old is this little girl, and she receives a whip in the precept hall, and although she can't die, she must take off a layer of skin.

Ning Xiu stared at Zhang Shan and took Luo Luo away, thinking that this little girl would definitely cry in fright, or beg for mercy loudly, but the truth disappointed him. Luo Luo pursed his lips stiffly, like an injured puppy being carried by Zhang Shan, but he only looked at himself coldly and said nothing.

That gaze made Ning Xiu suddenly think of the white-clothed young man in the capital of the Chen Dynasty, so his mood suddenly became bad.

Tar someone with the same brush!

Originally, he severely punished Luo Luo, naturally because of Lu Xuan. That guy made himself lose face in the capital of the Chen Dynasty, but he was a disciple of Nagato, and he was helpless. But this evil fire in the stomach can be vented on Luo Luo's body, and when he sees Lu Xuan again in the future, he must mention this matter and let his face fall well.

——————————————————————

Because of the lack of spiritual energy, the disciples of Earth Lung Mountain could only practice day and night, but no one, including Ning Fangmu, expected that all this was Lu Xuan secretly making trouble. And the initiator, Lu Xuan, still practiced hard underground unharmed, completely forgetful.

In the blink of an eye, a few months have passed, and it is late autumn.

In the fire veins deep underground, Lu Xuan was like an old monk in his meditation, and the blazing fire aura poured into his Heavenly Spirit Cave on a scale visible to the naked eye.
