Chapter 24: Preaching

Ji Ping was stunned for a long time and did not speak, his face was expressionless, but his heart was like going through a stormy wave, it was difficult to calm down, he was afraid that his expression would betray the secret that had been hidden deep in his heart for a long time. And the Lost Lands are close to his secrets. He couldn't be sure if the place they were talking about was the Eye of Ice, but the Great Array in the Eye of Ice and Snow existed, and it was this Great Array that blocked them from the outside world. Ji Ping suddenly thought that the Eye of Ice and Snow was the entrance to the Northern Stygian Sea? This idea was too ridiculous, how could it be such a coincidence, and then denied it. But he still asked apprehensively

"You mean the Northern Sea of Stygian is north of the Soul Lands?"

The old monk looked at Ji Ping, as if he had seen through his secret, and there seemed to be a flash of essence in his eyes, and then disappeared again.

"The people in the Buddhist sect don't speak, this is only contained in the temple classics, and no one has ever been to the real North Underworld Sea, let alone the Nine Shadows Abyss, but it is certain that it must be extremely dangerous. He paused and said: "The old man knows that this is the case, it's getting late, I see that this little donor is injured, and it's inconvenient to disturb for too long, so I'll leave" After speaking, he walked out of the door, but suddenly stopped, turned to look at Ji Ping and said meaningfully: "If he gets the momentum of Lingyun in the future, can you take advantage of the old monk's information today to open up to the people in the world?"

Ji Ping couldn't understand his words, and asked: "Do you have any advice from the seniors, please say clearly" The old monk clasped his hands together and said unfathomably, "The sky is unpredictable, and the donor will understand it after many years" The old monk was inconvenient to say, Ji Ping didn't ask much, or agreed.

"Lao Wei first thanked the donor for the common people in the world," and left without looking back. Outside the window, the old monk's unfinished voice came again, "The cycle of cause and effect, good and evil are rewarded, how can it be easily said clearly which is right and which is wrong?"

Wu Jianren sighed, as if he had decided something, and then left.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the interior is bright. also shone on Ji Ping's frowning face. Wu Ni didn't speak, just stood up, walked over to Ji Ping, and clasped their hands tightly.

"No matter what, I will always be by your side" Wu Ni's words were soft, but unusually firm.

Ji Ping didn't look at Wuni, he looked out the window in a daze, but just held his hand tighter as if he responded.

The night was quiet, but Ji Ping's heart was like a monstrous wave, constantly rolling, hitting the deepest part of his heart, the land of ecstasy, the village of leaving the soul, the sea of the north of the underworld, the abyss of the nine shadows, and the words of the old monk constantly flashed through Ji Ping's mind. He knew very well that going to the land of the North Sea must be difficult and dangerous, and the avalanche in the snow-capped mountains alone was already a brilliant heavenly power, and life and death were difficult to know, not to mention the mysterious North Stygian Sea and the Nine Shadows Abyss, and it was even more difficult for a wasted person like himself who had lost all his skills to ascend to the sky. Do you have to bear to watch Wu Ni go to death with you? No, you can't be so selfish!

Ji Ping retracted his gaze looking out of the window and turned to Wuni, under the moonlight, there was a gentle face, with affection in his eyes and picturesque willow eyebrows. This should have been a fairy-like figure who was sought after in the sect. And now that he wants to go to that bitter cold place with himself, he can't bear it in his heart. But he didn't say it. After many days, Ji Ping felt that Wuni seemed gentle on the outside, but in fact, she was very persistent in her heart.

Wuni's gentleness and persistence made Ji Ping feel extremely ashamed, after this incident, Ji Ping should have confessed to her, but there were too many secrets on his body, and he was too shocking, and he could be killed at any time. Even if he died, it didn't matter, but what about the Soul Determination Outline, should he follow him to sleep in the ground forever, so how could he be right to the great wizard of Qi that day? He suddenly thought of Wu Ni, that kind and gentle woman, the person he was powerless to protect.

After a moment of silence, Ji Ping said to Wu Ni as if he had made up his mind: "This time to Beihai, life and death are unknown, I should have confessed to you, but I have a secret but I can't see the light of day, I hope you can understand."

Wu Ni glanced at him, pretending to be a little angry, and said angrily: "I already knew about the day I fought with Zhang Dao, and if you don't want to say it, I won't ask."

Ji Ping seemed to be a little angry when he heard Wuni's tone, so he stood up and wanted to take her into his arms, but Wuni took a step back wittily and said with a smile: "Looking for a fight, I want to take advantage of the dark wind in the night, but there is no door."

Ji Ping was speechless, but the scene that was originally so affectionate made her say it so filthy, angry and funny for a while. Maybe it was because of the exertion, and he coughed in a low voice.

Wu Ni clenched her little fist and raised it in front of Ji Ping, and said with a smile: "Don't try to lie to me", but after speaking, she found that Ji Ping was still coughing, not like pretending, and she became nervous for a while, so she stepped forward to support Ji Ping, but immediately regretted it.

When Ji Ping saw Wuni step forward, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly hugged her tightly in his arms, and let Wuni punch and kick, but never let go. For a moment, Wuni stopped struggling and asked in a low voice, is it worth it?

"It's worth it" Ji Ping took a deep breath and said firmly.

The night was as quiet as water, and the moonlight shone into the room, and sprinkled gently on them. It is like a thin layer of white veil. The gentle night breeze with a hint of coldness brushed the cheeks of the two.

Ji Ping looked down at Wu Ni in his arms, a face with a smile and a shy blush, his eyes were closed, his long eyelashes were hanging low, trembling slightly, his eyebrows were blue, his long black hair blended into the dark night, the breeze blew, and there were wisps flying.

I don't know how long it took, Ji Ping finally let go of Wuni, but he still stared at Wuni's handsome face, and said solemnly: "There are some things I always have to figure out, otherwise even if I survive, I won't be at ease."

Wu Ni stretched out her slender jade hand, blocked Ji Ping's mouth, and motioned not to continue, "I understand, I also said that I will always be by your side no matter what"

Ji Ping seemed to have guessed that this would be the case, but he still sighed and said, "I understand, but that's not what I'm talking about" Ji Ping frowned after speaking, and then stretched out again.

Wuni would not know Ji Ping's inner struggle at this moment, nor would she know what a risky decision Ji Ping had made in his heart. She just saw the expression on Ji Ping's face, as if she was guilty, sad, and half hesitant.

Ji Ping said: "I accidentally found a mantra in the classics of the sect, and in the practice, I found that this mantra has a faint meaning of congruence with the soul."

Seeing that Ji Ping had returned to his usual appearance, Wu Ni was also happy in his heart, and said: "Which mantra is it, say it and listen to it, I have basically read all the classics in the sect, and there can be something I don't know" There seemed to be a look of pride on his face.

Ji Ping also regretted it a little after speaking, he knew that this excuse was indeed a bit clumsy, and he was too hasty, but there was no room for retraction when the words were spoken, and besides, he was not good at words when he was ordinary, let alone lying. He forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart and pretended to be calm: "You have to promise that I won't tell anyone."

Wu Ni was a little amused to see that Ji Ping attached so much importance to it, and felt so mysterious, and said, "Okay, I swear to the sky," said four fingers together and was about to swear, Ji Ping pressed her hand and said slowly: "I said, you remember." If you don't understand, force me to remember it."

Ji Ping finished the mantra word by word, but just hid some of the last vicious methods.

It took Ji Ping several hours for Wu Ni to memorize this mantra completely, and at first, Wu Ni was easy to remember, but the later it became, the more obscure it became, so that it took a long time for the mantra to be only a few hundred words. Wu Ni didn't know that this mantra of hundreds of words was the long-lost general outline of the soul decision.

Ji Ping thought about it for a long time before he made up his mind. At first, Ji Ping was a little hesitant, after all, this was the secret he brought out from the depths of the snowy mountain, but when he thought that the wizard and the elder had to bring out this mantra by himself in the last life, he also understood the meaning. And when I go to Beihai, I may never have the opportunity to come out again, and I am not willing to bury this predecessor's hard work with me.
