Chapter 36: Jade Venerable
The bright lights in the hall were bright, and the light was bright, illuminating the ugly face of Prince Pingjia clearly. Zi Ning pretended to pick up the belt and return it to him, and said with a smile: "Prince, I was just joking with you, seeing that you were flustered, even the belt was broken." β
There was an uproar in the hall, ridicule and laughter abounded, Prince Pingjia lost face, and his face was like a purple eggplant, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
The little girl in front of him was so powerful that he couldn't help but feel a little timid.
Zi Ning secretly hid the jade belt, pursed her lips and glanced at him, and secretly thought: "When you bullied the white ball, you should have thought that its owner would definitely come to take revenge." The corners of his mouth curled up with a bright smile, hahaha, revenge has also been avenged, and the golden silk jade belt has also been obtained, and by the way, after absorbing 100,000 spirit stones, I can't stop it if I am lucky.
Emperor Xiqi suddenly asked: "This emperor looks at the foundation of Zining girl, it seems that she is still a mortal, what method did he use to absorb these spiritual qi?"
Not only Emperor Xiqi was suspicious, but all the guests in the hall were also surprised, immortal cultivators could only slowly incorporate the spiritual energy into the dantian when they cultivated with spirit stones, and the spirit stones would not turn into a pile of ashes. I thought that even if the Kunlun Absolute Emperor came, he didn't have that much ability.
"This ......" the corners of Zi Ning's mouth tightened, "Actually, this is a secret, I can't say it." Secretly annoyed in my heart, I was too proud for a while, and I forgot to hide the identity of the Wuji Xuannu.
My heart was pounding, my face was a little red, and the secret of the rebirth of the Xuannu was probably going to be impossible to keep.
Emperor Fa Dove, who had been silent, suddenly said: "This matter is indeed strange, although there are many cultivation exercises in the world, none of them can quickly absorb spiritual energy, unless ......"
He deliberately sold Guanzi, his eyes swept towards the faces of everyone in the hall, paused for a moment, and continued: "This king heard that the Wuji spiritual root is pure yin and yang, the five elements are all connected, and the seven orifices are exquisite, which can absorb the world's infinite qi. β
Empress Hua Yao's color changed when she ascended, these words were like a slap in the face, although it was not a secret that the Spirit Root Ball was destroyed, she never thought that Zi Ning might be a Wuji Xuannu.
Zi Ning She ...... Why is this happening?
Empress Hua Yao's eyes were scattered, and she was a little overwhelmed for a moment, and the phoenix crown pearl on her head trembled slightly. Her life's wish is to make Zi Ning an ordinary mortal, never to cultivate, and to stay away from the strife between the two immortal clans.
However, is Zi Ning really a Wuji Xuannu?
"Wuji Xuannu!" the eyes of all the guests widened, and countless lines of greed and excitement were released in their eyes, staring directly at Zi Ning.
"Xuannu is a pure yin physique, an infinite spiritual root, and the world's top cultivation furnace dingβ"
"Cultivating with a Xuannu for a year is equivalent to cultivating for a lifetime with a spirit stone elixir!"
"She's really a Xuannu, isn't she even a mortal, and hasn't she started cultivating?"
"It's good if you don't cultivate, when the Xuannu cultivates, who has the ability to keep it for herself?"
The various expressions in the hall are uncertain, and the lights and shadows are slightly flickering, reflecting the atmosphere of staggered cups, which looks very weird. Everyone was talking, and there was a "buzzing" sound. Zi Ning only felt that her scalp was numb, as if countless blood-sucking insects were surging towards her, crawling all over her body, and she couldn't disperse.
A touch of excitement appeared on Prince Pingjia's face, and he didn't care about the humiliation just now, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "If you use Xuannu to cultivate, you will still be worried about whether you can practice the Moon Immortal Method?" Not to mention that Zining, this girl, seems to like this prince. β
The more I thought about it, the more I felt, I raised my eyes to look at Zi Ning, and saw that her face was pale and pink, her eyes were clear and smart, her eyebrows were beautiful, her nose was beautiful, and her cherry mouth was small, she was a rare and peerless beauty. A scorching heat rose in his chest, and he took a step forward, and said with a smile on his face: "Zining ......"
As soon as the words fell, suddenly a shadow of Tsing Yi flashed over, Dongling Gongzi stretched out his arm to block in front of Zi Ning, his eyes stared at Prince Pingjia indifferently, there were no waves in the autumn water, and there was no trace on the jade face, and he said slowly: "Zi Ning is not a Wuji Xuannu, she just used a piece of Gathering Spirit Cui to absorb the aura." β
His gaze shifted from Prince Pingjia to everyone, and he said indifferently: "Ju Ling Cui is my Penglai's secret treasure, it is naturally formed, it can absorb the aura of heaven and earth, what is that 100,000 spirit stones." β
As he spoke, he lifted Zi Ning's sleeve, and in an instant, the glow shook, and the brilliance flickered, and there was an extra pebble-like emerald object in his hand. Everyone shouted: "Ju Lingcui, this is really Ju Lingcui!"
There are many ancient treasures in the immortal realm, and Julingcui is one of them. The form of this thing is like water and jade, and its quality is flexible but indestructible. At the time of the famine, Julingcui originated from the fairy mountain of the East China Sea, conceived from heaven and earth, absorbed the infinite aura, and later became the treasure of Penglai's town.
When everyone saw that there was really a gathering of Lingcui, they had to believe it. Looking at Zi Ning again, with a smile on her face, Qiao Shengsheng stood in the hall, and said to everyone that the Xuannu was unaware of it, and the more she looked at it, the less she looked like the Wuji Xuannu.
Some people also felt that this matter was quite bizarre, "A strange treasure like Ju Lingcui, the prince of Tanglin will actually give a little girl!" Everyone nodded one after another, feeling that this was reasonable.
Emperor Hairdove smiled and said: "No matter how good Zining's qualifications are, she is only a mortal, what is the use of the prince of Tanglin sending her to gather Lingcui?"
Tanglin Gongzi's face did not change, and he said lightly: "I sent Zining Ju Lingcui, not for her cultivation, but as a token of love." Heroes spend a lot of money, just for the beauty to laugh, this is the love of children, harmless, the emperor does not have to worry about this matter. β
Indifferent eyes turned to Prince Pingjia, with a warning look in his eyes, "My words have come to this, from now on, the prince had better stay away from Zining!" β
Yue Hengtang nodded helplessly, with a smile in his eyes.
Prince Pingjia couldn't withstand the blow, his face twitched, "Okay, you two ......" He staggered back a step, and suddenly remembered that it was Zi Ning who jumped out of the coffin, and a true air mass hit him in the chest, causing him to faint with serious injuries on the spot.
Dengshi's face was gloomy and pale, and he stared at them hatefully. The ones who secretly broke into Yuyang Palace last night must be Donglin Gongzi and Zining!
The eyes of the audience were staring at the three of them, and suddenly they saw Princess Tong "bang", holding the case with both hands, and almost fainted. Her cheeks were unusually pale and bloodless, and she muttered, "Brother Tanglin, you ......"
When the elders among the guests saw this, they all shook their heads secretly, the young people in the immortal realm really don't grow up, and they are in love all day long, just two men fight for a woman, and two women fight for a man. In front of the public, confessing openly, secretly sending autumn waves, pulling and pulling, fighting for the wind and being jealous, it is really the world is declining, what kind of system has it become!
The cultivators were greatly disappointed, and their hearts were full of resentment: "What Wuji Xuannu, it's all nonsense. If Zi Ning was a Xuannu, how could the old fox of Emperor Hair Dove let her come to Xiqi Country and expose her identity in public? β
Everyone suddenly felt bored, no longer paid attention to these crazy men and women, toasted each other, and continued to eat and drink.
Zi Ning took the opportunity to bow and retreat, and hurriedly left the main hall. Walking out of the temple gate, leaning on a vermilion lacquer pillar and panting, she said secretly: "It's so dangerous!" Just now she was holding on, pretending not to care, but in fact, her back was already soaked with a layer of cold sweat.
The vegetarian banquet was not over yet, she wiped a handful of sweat and pinched the gold silk jade belt in her sleeve, "I have to hurry up and find Fang Luoxi." β
At the beginning of the day, the sky was already dark.
Zi Ning came out of the main hall and turned around, it was a winding corridor, and on the carved window on one side, speckled and fragmented lights were projected. On the other side, there are neat green willows, which have just pulled out delicate buds, and are surrounded by a misty vermilion wall, faintly revealing three hanging flower gatehouses.
Walk in the gate tower of the hanging flower, the courtyard is connected with each other, the mountain stone is embellished, more and more quiet and wide, the four sides are the verandah, the small lotus pond gathers under the rockery, and the water pavilion echoes from afar. After going around for a long time, Zining's eyes were full of dim light shadows, a cluster of flowers, fragrant, and I felt like I had walked into a labyrinth.
From time to time, a few young maids flashed out of the verandahs on both sides, wearing a lot of flowers, holding all kinds of brocade boxes in their hands and passing through the corridor. The slender waist swayed and moved, and the broken steps under the feet were stacked, all of them were as beautiful as flowers.
Zi Ning scratched his head, this Jade Zun Mansion was built more luxurious than the Hair Dove Palace, with winding paths everywhere, willow smoke and wind pieces, flowers and charming eyes, rich and lingering fragrance, and I couldn't tell where I was.
She shook her head and muttered: "I'm very unqualified to be a cultivator, even if I'm afraid of heights and ghosts, I'm still a road idiot." β
After walking about half a pillar of incense, I came to a magnificent courtyard of the building. Rows of eaves are stacked and stretched, carved beams and paintings are clear and exquisite, full of roses, and the faint fragrance is very comfortable. Zi Ning was secretly surprised, this is just a Jade Zun Mansion, it is so extraordinary, and she feels the magnificent and luxurious momentum along the way, which is like a fairyland on earth.
At this time, a middle-aged woman walked in front of her, with her hair combed in an ingot-shaped bun, wearing a dark red embroidered dress, her face was panicked and uneasy, and she looked back as she walked, as if someone was chasing after her.
"Auntie-" Zi Ning called, wanting to ask her for directions.
The middle-aged woman hurriedly ran to her, suddenly grabbed Zi Ning's hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Girl, my father-in-law is going to kill me with a knife, you can change clothes with me, and save my life with kindness." β
Zi Ning was stunned for a moment and said, "Auntie, I can't change with you, this dress is not mine." "The fragrant brocade dress she was wearing was Fang Luoxi's clothes, and she had to return it.
"Girl, pleaseβ" The middle-aged woman looked at her in a panicked tone, and exclaimed, "Oh no, my husband is chasing after me." Immediately let go of Zi Ning, and ran quickly into a bamboo forest.
Zi Ning was very curious, "Who is this aunt, she doesn't look like a maid in the Yuzun Mansion." β
After staying for a long time, I had to continue to explore the way, and after a few steps, I suddenly saw a sturdy man with a stubble on his face walking from the path, and the eyes of the owl looked her up and down, and asked, "Little girl, have you seen my lady?"
Zi Ning was stunned for a moment, "Your lady?" Seeing that this big man was burly, with a big knife hanging from his waist, he was violent, his expression was not good, and his dark red embroidered robe was very eye-catching. I couldn't help but think: "That aunt just now is his mother, is he really going to kill someone?"
The big man snorted to himself: "That stinky girl, if you dare to hook up with a thief man without telling me, I'll kill a pair of shameless things." Raising his eyes to stare at Zi Ning, he asked viciously, "Did you see her going east?" stretched out his hand and pointed towards the bamboo forest.
Zi Ning hurriedly said, "She...... She, no, she went west, I saw it. He raised his hand and pointed to another path.
The big man with stubble on his face looked at her for a long time, and said with a smile: "I see that you are not telling the truth, you must be lying to me." She's going east, right, I'm going to kill that stinky. With that, he drew his knife and strode towards the bamboo forest.
"Uncle, no, that aunt ......" Zi Ning stomped his feet anxiously, and hurriedly waved his hand to call him, but saw that the big man had already entered the bamboo forest.
She was very worried, and stood still, thinking that nothing would happen to the aunt.
After waiting for a while, she turned around and suddenly saw a white-bearded old man in red, with a rickety figure and a pair of small eyes, and asked, "Little girl, have you seen my son and daughter-in-law?"
Zi Ning was very dazed, why did the whole family come! Hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Grandpa, they went to the bamboo forest." The white-bearded old man nodded and walked tremblingly towards the dim bamboo forest.
"Help, kill someone!" came a woman's exclamation for help from the bamboo forest.
"You stinky, I slaughtered you today!" cried out in an angry man's voice.
"Son, you can't kill, put down the knife quickly--oops-" The old man's trembling voice stopped abruptly.
Zi Ning's scalp was numb, and she thought, "It's not good, I'm going to die!" and hurriedly pulled the corner of her skirt and ran over, shouting, "Grandpa, are you okay?" β
Rushing into the bamboo forest, a dim yellow lantern hung on a high place, the white-bearded old man sat on the ground and cried bitterly, with a pool of blood in front of him, but the figure of the couple was nowhere to be seen.
The little old man patted his leg and wailed: "My unfilial son, if he kills his daughter-in-law, he will pay for his life...... Woo, my white-haired person sends a black-haired person, and my life is bitter......"
Seeing that he was crying miserably, Zi Ning hurriedly helped him up and comforted: "Grandpa, don't cry first, tell me where your son went, and I'll help you find him back." What misunderstanding does he have with your daughter-in-law, you have to ask clearly. β
The little old man sobbed twice, stared at a pair of small eyes, and patted Zi Ning's hand, "Little girl, you have a good heart." My son and his daughter-in-law ran over there, let's chase him. β
Zi Ning agreed repeatedly, thinking: "I'll help the old man first, persuade his son and daughter-in-law, and wait for the vegetarian banquet to end, and then find Fang Luoxi with Yue Hengtang." β
So he followed the old man, turned around and walked twice into the courtyard, and saw that the houses on both sides were full of carved beams and paintings, and there were cages of various birds hanging in the winding corridor, and a few charming beauties sat beside the vermilion lacquer beams and pillars under the cages, and you played and laughed with each other.
The red light is shining, the phantom of the clothes, like a dream. Zi Ning saw that they were all handsome and delicately dressed, like fairies wrapped in light veils.
When the beauties saw the old man leading Zining, they all showed surprised looks, and then turned their heads, pretending not to see it, and talking and playing.
Zi Ning was very puzzled, and only felt that the people in this Jade Venerable Mansion were all strange.
I entered another layer of courtyard, and when I looked up, there were no carved beams and paintings, but there were more quaint bluelime tiles. Lined with the shadow of the leaves of a bamboo forest of pines and cypresses, a clump of plum branches winds up the eaves, passes through the overlapping stones on the rockery, and emerges the bones of new leaves on the branches at the tip.
The little old man's small eyes flickered, he looked at Zi Ning with a smile on his face, and said quietly: "Little girl, my son and daughter-in-law are in the hall, you go in and help me persuade them." β
Although Zi Ning had doubts in her heart, she did hear someone shouting for help just now, and the puddle of blood in the bamboo forest was not fake. He immediately nodded in agreement, pushed the door and entered the hall.
"Wow!" the carved wooden door of the hall closed tightly, and a burst of wanton laughter rang out from behind him, "Hahaha, what a stupid girl, I can deceive you like this." β
Turning around suddenly, he saw the little old man straighten up, with a sly smile on his face, and his body spun around with a "whoosh", turning into a middle-aged woman in red, and said angrily: "Girl, if you don't change clothes with me, forget it, and leak the secret to my father-in-law, let him kill me, you are too vicious." β
Zi Ning was startled, and saw the middle-aged woman raise her hand and wipe her face, and suddenly turned into a strong man, with a stubble on her face, and snorted coldly: "Little girl, I killed that stinky girl, are you afraid?"
"You, you...... You're the same person!" Zi Ning was extremely surprised, this person's appearance was changeable, his voice and demeanor were all vivid, and he couldn't guess who he was.
When I was surprised, I saw a girl in pink walking out of the side of the house with lotus steps. A face with a sharp chin, with a sly light shining in his eyes, clapping his hands and giggling: "Xiqi Yuzun, it really lives up to its reputation, I Fang Luoxi is an eye-opener." β
