The second floor of the high pavilion overlooks the entire plum garden, and the red plum trees are particularly dazzling against the white snow, and the winding road divides the plum grove into different shapes.

The walls of the hall are almost identical to the walls of the hall, and the whole hall is open on all sides, but there is no wind blowing through the hall.

The wind and snow fell on the invisible barrier in the window and dissipated. Taihao Xianjun was wearing a big hat, reclining on the couch and looking at the snow scene outside, and on the agarwood case not far away, a guqin string was buzzing, and he was playing ethereal music by himself.

In front of him was a low stove, and the water in the pot was boiling slightly on a small fire, and a flat-spout wine jug was sinking and floating in the water.

"Green ants are freshly brewed with wine, and the red clay is a small stove. If you want snow in the evening, you can drink a glass of nothing. This poem suddenly appeared in Lin Ning's heart.

I don't know when the sound of the piano stopped, Lin Ning gently approached Taihao Xianjun, unwilling to break the tranquility at this time.

Sitting down on the futon beside him, Lin Ning smiled:

"Master, can the apprentice ask for a glass of wine?"

Lin Ning said, and stretched out his hand to the wine jug on the stove, but was slapped off by Taihao Xianjun.

"The time has not yet come, and there is no urgency. Taihao Xianjun chuckled, with a hint of laziness because of his posture. He looked Lin Ning up and down, nodded and said:

"Yes, a trip has improved a lot. Cultivate like this for another half a year or so. You will be able to break through the middle stage of foundation building. ”

Lin Ning nodded, she also felt this way. The breakthrough in the foundation building period is still very easy, as long as you follow the true refining technique, nothing will go wrong.

Taihao Xianjun picked up the wine jug at this time and poured two glasses of wine into the amber wine glass that appeared out of thin air. The wine is clear and has a green smoke.

Taihao Xianjun picked up the wine glass, raised it to Lin Ning, and put the wine glass to his lips and drank it slowly.

Lin Ning also covered it with his sleeve and drank all the wine in the cup. The wine was fragrant and warm, and she felt that all the hard work of the road had been dissolved, and her whole body was warm.

"The secret realm that the apprentice went to this time is a divine domain left by an ancient god. ”

Lin Ning picked up her experience during this period and told it to Taihao Xianjun. Taihao Xianjun didn't have a trace of impatience, listened quietly, occasionally asked some questions, and the two chatted like this for a whole day.

Lin Ning asked Taihao Immortal Jun for two jade slips, and burned Liyu's cultivation notes and the cultivation notes of several gods in her collection to Taihao Immortal Monarch. As a gift to bring back from this outing.

After Taihao Immortal Jun gladly accepted, Lin Ning's topic turned to the matter of the Western Regions. This matter is not explained, after all, it is a problem for the henchmen.

"The matter of the evil spirit, the imperial brother has sent someone to sneak into the Western Regions, close to the abyss of hell to investigate, and the results will be transmitted back in a few days. I have already told the imperial brother, and I will also send a copy to the master when the time comes. ”

Lin Ning's face was calm, and he turned the fire in the low furnace. The fire couldn't hurt her now, and the warm flames licked her fingertips, feeling very strange.

Taihao Xianjun's eyes kept looking at the snowflakes in the air, and he was silent for a long time before he spoke.

"Even if the evil spirit is true, the Western Regions have tried their best to resolve it for many years, and there is no sign of harboring evil intentions. This evil qi is a great burden for them, and the Buddhist cultivators have not let this burden go, which is enough to explain the responsibility of the monks in the Western Regions. ”

Taihao Immortal Jun looked at Lin Ning and said, "You seem to have always believed that the Western Regions will be unfavorable to the Qingya Realm, why is this?"

Lin Ning's fingertips tapped lightly on the skirt, and she was thinking about how to explain it to Taihao Xianjun to be more reasonable.

"Master, you also said that evil qi is a great burden for the Western Regions. The Buddha was born, the Western Regions was established, the evil qi appeared, and the evil qi was knotted in the abyss of hell - the burden of the evil qi was almost carried by the Western Regions for 50,000 years. ”

She smiled softly. "I just don't believe that the Western Regions will sit still. They're going to be out of control, what are they going to do then?"

"Do the monks of the Western Regions sacrifice their lives for righteousness, control the evil qi in the Western Regions, and end up with the evil qi? Or do they lead the evil water to the east and pull the entire Qingya Realm to accompany the burial, in exchange for a glimmer of life in the Western Regions......

"Master, I believe that the Western Regions have other plans. Maybe it's a bigger scheme. ”

"Oh?" Taihao Xianjun raised his eyebrows, looking at Lin Ning's eyes a little more serious. "Tell me about it. ”

Lin Ning seemed to know a lot about evil qi and the Western Regions, which was the reason why Taihao Xianjun had the patience to continue listening even if he felt that she was alarmist.

"Master, do you still remember the Red Lotus Monarch of the Northern Regions fifteen years ago?"

Lin Ning threw out the bait.

Taihao Immortal Monarch's eyes froze.

Red Lotus Jun of the Northern Regions. The most outstanding leader of the Northern Regions for tens of thousands of years. He became famous earlier than Taihao Xianjun. Long before Taihao Immortal Jun set foot on the immortal path, Red Lotus Jun was already a great power in the Qingya Realm.

Taihao Xianjun had some friendship with Red Lotus Jun in his early years, and promised Ling Xiao's mother to take care of Ling Xiao, which also saw half of Red Lotus's face. After all, Ling Xiao is also the blood and blood of Red Lotus Jun.

The Eastern Regions and the Northern Regions have been at loggerheads for a long time. The environment in the northern region is harsh, and there are many outlaws, and they often invade the border of the eastern region. The Eastern Regions are hindered by the natural dangers of the Northern Regions, and it is difficult to use troops. Tens of thousands of years have accumulated a lot of grievances.

The immortal cultivators of the Eastern Regions are full of contempt for the people of the Northern Regions, and they are called demon cultivators. And the Red Lotus Monarch, as the head of the demon cultivator, is the big devil in the eyes of everyone in the Eastern Regions.

Fifteen years ago, the ambitions of the Northern Regions grew, and the tribes, led by Chongyang, one of the Six Sages, rose up to demand that troops be sent to the Eastern Regions to seize territory and resources.

The crowd was excited, and Red Lotus Jun couldn't suppress it, so he had to lead the army to Jiuzhi at the junction of the eastern, western, and northern regions.

The Eastern Regions were led by King Huai of the Lin clan to wait here, and the major immortal sects sent elites to help, and the war was about to break out.

At this time, the great monk of wisdom in the Western Regions came to help with the Buddhist artifact glazed pagoda, the Tao is that the two armies are fighting, there will inevitably be many casualties, and the Buddha can't bear to see the living beings die in vain, so he put forward a suggestion-

The two regions of the east and north each have one of the strongest to fight in front of the battle. If the Eastern Regions win, the Northern Regions will immediately withdraw their troops and pay tribute to the Eastern Regions, and pay compensation for the land. If the Northern Regions win, the Eastern Regions will withdraw their troops, giving the Northern Regions a three-day opportunity, and no troops will be allowed to surrender within three days, no matter where the Northern Regions fight.

The suggestion seems to be very fair, and neither Red Lotus Jun nor King Huai actually wants to fight this battle. Therefore, both parties agreed to the proposal.

Those who came out of the Northern Regions didn't think about it except for the Red Lotus Monarch, but it was Taihao Immortal Jun who came out of the Eastern Regions. Neither side felt that they would lose, and they looked forward to the scene of their side raising their eyebrows after winning.

Lin Ning saw that Taihao Immortal Jun was deep in thought, and reminded him: "Master did you think that Red Lotus Jun was defeated at that time?"

Taihao Xianjun frowned slightly and nodded.

Although since that battle, Taihao Immortal Monarch has been completely deified in the Eastern Regions, and there are all kinds of scripts of his Nine Peaks Demon Suppression. But when he went into battle at that time, Taihao Xianjun's heart was bottomless.

He understands the strength of Red Lotus Jun, although he has made progress, but there is still a gap compared with Red Lotus Jun, and there is not much chance of winning.

However, the result was very strange, when they first fought, Taihao Xianjun did feel the trembling power of Red Lotus Jun, but after halftime, Red Lotus Jun suddenly lost.

Not only defeated, but also brunch.
