Chapter Thirty-Seven: Too White and Firm, the Stars Are Lined Up
At this time, it was getting late, the voices of people in the Qinglou were gradually boiling, and the nightlife of the people in Jinling City began. Ning Wushu followed Rao Yuling and Wu Hua and did not go to the lobby, but went up a small staircase in the backyard. From this place, Ning Wushu could clearly hear all kinds of laughter and staggered sounds coming from the building across the wall, the voices of men and women were mixed together, some people laughed, some people scolded, and some people sang, these voices made her feel unreal.
Since escaping from Ning's house back then, Ning Wushu's life has either been light and tasteless, or full of blood, such a simple and "human" scene made her suddenly lose her mind slightly, at this moment, she suddenly envied the person on the other side of the wall. At this moment, Rao Yuling turned her head and glanced at her, the banter and indifference in Rao Yuling's eyes that saw through the wind and frost suddenly made Ning Wushu come back to her senses, she shook her head a little self-deprecatingly, and said: "Just now you said that you don't want me to call seniors, then I'll call you Sister Rao." Sister Rao, why did you choose to hide here...... In the green building?"
Rao Yuling picked the corners of his mouth and said, "It's not that we chose to hide in the Qinglou, but I opened a Qinglou, and then it slowly developed into a hiding place for these useless men." ”
"You opened it?" Ning Wushu was slightly shocked again, she blinked her eyes, she couldn't think of what to say, she could only say "but, but" twice.
"But I'm a master from the Fengshen Pavilion, how could I come here to open the green building, right?" Rao Yuling walked to the end of the stairs flutteringly, this was obviously an attic, she pushed open the door, turned back to Ning Wushu and said, "Come in and talk." Wu Hua, you go and make arrangements, and no one is allowed to disturb us for the next half hour. Then, you can heal your wounds yourself. ”
"Yes. Wu Hua reluctantly responded, turned around and left. Ning Wushu glanced at Wu Hua, and followed Rao Yuling into the attic room.
There is no furniture or decoration in this attic, it is extremely simple, a wooden bed, a wooden table, and a few chairs. Rao Yuling found a chair to sit down, nodded at Ning Wushu again, and after motioning for her to sit down too, he said lightly: "This building, the famous ** Wind Jade Building, was opened by me five years ago, and now it is one of the best green buildings in Jinling City." Because after coming out of the Wind God Pavilion, I was confused for a while, and I thought that the kind of practice of the Wind God Pavilion that was isolated from the world was not correct, so I wanted to change, and I wanted to go deep into the world...... Of course, we can save these words for later, little sister, say, what do you want us to do?"
Ning Wushu settled down and said, "Sister Rao, I have finished talking in that firewood room just now, I only hope that when the Yulongwei attacks the Ning family, you can help...... Of course, the gap in numbers is too big, and I don't expect to be able to fend off the Ichthyosaurus, I just hope to buy some time so that my father and them can get out of the way. ”
Rao Yuling looked at Ning Wushu lightly and said, "You haven't been dealing with Yulongwei for a long time, right?" Tell you, Li Jingzhen will never give up if he doesn't achieve his goal, a few days ago, Wu Hua himself secretly took someone to assassinate Li Jingjing, and after Li Jingzhen seriously injured Wu Hua, he claimed to let him go, but in fact sent countless people to follow him. If it weren't for this kid's cleverness, my Spring Breeze Jade Building would have been copied clean. If Li Jingzhen wants to let go and kill your whole family, you can't resist it at all. In the past few decades, Li has raided the homes of hundreds of officials, big and small, and killed thousands of people.
The slight understatement in Rao Yuling's tone made Ning Wushu a little uncomfortable, and she frowned and asked, "In this way, Sister Rao is unwilling to help?"
"Alas. Rao Yuling sighed and said: "Although on the other side of Xiangnan, you made my family a big heel, but he was not really hurt after all, and you and your friends also let him find a way to restrain madness, plus the promises you made downstairs, to be honest, whether it is morally or in terms of interests, it is not a problem to help you, but ......"
She stretched out her fingers, rubbed her chin twice, and said lightly, "But if this is a hopeless thing, I don't want my siblings and a group of juniors to die." What's more, Qianqiu's martial arts are high enough, he can come and go freely, but once there are more people, it will become troublesome, even if one person is caught by the Fish Dragon Guard, we will fall into extreme passivity. ”
Ning Wushu knew that Rao Yuling's refusal was very obvious, but taking into account the friendship of his fellow disciples, he said it a lot more tactfully. She stood up, paced two steps in place, and said: "Then Sister Rao, I will take a step back, the promise I made just now is still valid, but I don't ask you to meet the enemy, as long as you answer in secret, as long as the people in my family escape, you can help them hide and hide in a safe place, okay?"
Rao Yuling squinted her eyes at Ning Wushu and said with a smile: "Little sister, you are really very persistent." Well, answer me a question, and if your answer satisfies me, I'll consider something to do you a favor. ”
Ning Wushu's eyes lit up: "Sister Rao, please speak." ”
"Just now in the firewood room, you and Wu Hua said that the thing that Qianqiu went to Shonan to rob, if he wants to know something about that thing, you can tell him. Rao Yuling's expression became playful: "But as far as I know, that thing was just returned to Li Jingling's hands just two days ago, and except for Li Jingling, no one knows what that thing is, let alone what it is, why did you make such a promise?"
"Ahem, did I say it? There is such a thing?" Ning Wushu raised his eyes and looked innocent.
Rao Yuling's face was expressionless: "Yes, you said that I was behind you at that time, and I heard it clearly." ”
"Actually...... That is true. Ning Wushu sighed, a little annoyed, how could she say that she had leaked her mouth? She looked at Rao Yuling with clear eyes, and said: "It's not that no one knows what it is except Li Jingjing, my father also knows, otherwise why would Li Jingzhen have to kill my father? cough, Sister Rao, I know what you want to ask......" Ning Wushu stretched out his hand to stop Rao Yuling, who was about to open his mouth to ask, and said, "You want to say, since my father mastered such an important thing before, why didn't he use it to fight against Li Jingjing, why did he still fall into passivity everywhere, right?"
Speaking of this, Ning Wushu sighed deeply, with a sad look on his face, his lowered eyelashes trembled, and there seemed to be water flashing in his eyes. She looked at her toes, her thoughts seemed to fly into the distance, and she said leisurely: "That night, I also asked my father, why don't you use this powerful weapon to fight back? He told me that that thing is indeed enough to break Li Jing down, and even make him die several times, but at the same time, it will also involve countless people, maybe thousands of people will be ruined, and thousands of wives and wives will be separated...... Father said that if this is the case, he would rather choose not to make it public, Li will not be stunned, and the world will not be in chaos, at most...... Let's be sad in our Ning family. ”
The more Rao Yuling listened, the more solemn her expression became, and at the end, she said softly: "Ling Zun can have this heart, it is really a great blessing for the people of the world." Such a good official should not be killed by Li Jingyi......" She sighed softly, lowered her head, seemed to be thinking about something, and after a while, she raised her head again and said: "Little sister, I promise you that I will send some masters to meet you, and at the same time, I will also send a message to Qianqiu, so that he can go to harass and harass you as much as possible when the Fish Dragon Guard attacks your Ning family." ”
"Really!" Ning Wushu's eyes lit up suddenly, she rushed forward, grabbed Rao Yuling's hand, and was about to jump up excitedly.
Rao Yuling patted the back of her hand and said with a wry smile: "Don't be too happy, this is not easy." Moreover, my sister has one more question for you. ”
"Before, we also had some information about such a thing in Li Jingzhen's hands, and we had some guesses. Chiaki will snatch it this time, also because this thing may be related to his background, and there is a huge secret hidden behind it. You just said that thousands of people could be killed and wives separated as a result, which coincides with our previous speculation. Of course, since you have made a decision not to make it public, my sister will naturally not force you to ask, but since you will say so, you should also know some inside information, and my sister wants to ask you, do you know about the existence of Xingchen Tower?"
Ning Wushu was shocked, didn't Ning Liang say that her mother Lin Mobai was from Xingchen Tower? At that time, Ning Wushu had doubts in her heart, if her guess was correct, Lin Wangshu, who grew up in the Spirit Mirror Gate, was really her uncle, then of course Lin Mobai was also from the Spirit Mirror Gate, how could it be the Star Tower? Moreover, Ning Liang also said that the Star Tower was a very large sect, but why had he never heard of it? That day, Ning Wushu didn't ask about this matter because she was concerned about the safety of the Ning family, but it didn't mean that she didn't keep it in mind. At this time, Rao Yuling suddenly pointed out the name of Xingchen Tower, which made her feel very surprised.
Could it be that Leng Qianqiu also has something to do with Xingchen Tower? Fu Jue said that Leng Qianqiu is not the enemy of his side, is this also the reason?
Rao Yuling saw that Ning Wushu's face changed slightly, he was silent and thoughtful, his eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Sister, do you really know Xingchen Tower!?"
Ning Wushu shook his head and responded, "I've only heard that Xingchen Tower is a huge sect, but I haven't heard anyone talk about its name in the rivers and lakes recently. ”
"Yes, because of the Star Tower, it was destroyed. Rao Yuling said with blazing eyes: "There are only two lines of poetry that have been handed down-too white and cang, and the stars are lined up." Go to the sky for 300 miles, Mier is out of the world. The Taibai here is not the Taibai Mountain Range where the Tianwang Sect is located, but the Taibai Peak in the Qinling Mountains, where it is said that a few decades ago, there was a peerless sect called Xingchen Tower. And Qianqiu is the orphan of the Star Tower. ”
Ning Wushu was speechless for a long time, and suddenly, she thought of something and asked, "That Leng Qianqiu and Yulongwei are so immortal, is it also because of the relationship between Xingchen Tower......?" The destruction of the Xingchen Tower is the ...... of the fish and dragon guards."
"I don't know. Rao Yuling said calmly: "It's been too long, and no one knows what happened back then." Chiaki knew that she was a member of the Star Tower, and she also knew that her parents had been killed. But he was still too young at the time, and it seemed that he had been sent to a safe place before the Star Tower was destroyed. Over the years, he has been in the rivers and lakes, asking everywhere about things related to Xingchen Tower, but he has found nothing. As for getting to this point with Yulongwei, there may be some relationship between Xingchen Tower, but there are also many side things, all of which are troubles accumulated over the years, so I won't go into detail one by one. ”
"I see. Sister Rao, why are you talking to me about this?" Ning Wushu asked puzzled.
Rao Yuling smiled and said: "Since you promised me that you will tell him what Qianqiu wants to know, then you will also learn about these things sooner or later, I also have a trace of selfishness, I hope you can pay more attention to this matter, if your father knows, maybe you can also help us understand something about Xingchen Tower." Qianqiu's only belief for so many years is to find the murderer of his parents back then, and I still hope that I can help him more. ”
"Understood. Ning Wushu nodded. Recently, she has experienced a lot of things like this and heard all kinds of complicated information at once, she is a little used to it, and after thinking about it for a while, she said: "Sister Rao, since you are outspoken to me, I won't hide it from you, I don't know anything about Xingchen Tower, but my elders may really know, and may even know a lot, as long as this Ning family's catastrophe is over, I believe that it can help Leng Qianqiu figure out who killed his parents." ”
Ning Wushu has his own logic in his heart, Ning Liang will not lie to her, Lin Mobai doesn't care if he is a person from the Spirit Mirror Gate or not, but most of them can be confirmed to be someone from Xingchen Tower. And a woman who can worship Jin Lan with Fu Xiayao's "No. 1 female swordsman in the world" for more than 20 years, but she has been reduced to living in the Ning family for so many years, and she doesn't even have the strength to resist in the face of Dongfang Wei's bullying, and she still needs Yama Wang Xiao to send Liu Wenxun to rescue, thinking that most of them were seriously injured in the matter of "Xingchen Tower Annihilation" in Rao Yuling's mouth. If this is the case, as long as he finds his mother, he can understand clearly what happened more than 20 years ago, so he agreed, and Ning Wushu didn't feel that there was anything wrong.
Thinking about it further, Lin Wangshu, who is widely spread in the rivers and lakes, slaughtered thousands of enemies and became the first person in the world's martial arts in a battle that happened about 20 years ago. At the apprenticeship ceremony that year, Lin Wangshu himself said that many years ago because of some things, many of his friends died, and it was precisely because of this that he realized his martial arts and understood that "there is always an end to manpower, and the thoughts are endless and can be passed down through the ages". If his anger back then was also related to the Xingchen Tower, then all of this seemed to be linked.
