Chapter 51: The Witch's Invitation

"Witch Spirit King?" Zi Ning held a blood-stained silk handkerchief, her fingertips were cold, trembling slightly, and a feeling of not knowing what kind of feeling surged in her heart, "Purple moon eyes, people who have been guarding each other for ten thousand years are always thin!"

Ten thousand years together.

A clear picture suddenly appeared in my mind, a man in green clothes slowly turned around, wearing the fanged mask of the witch clan on his face. "Xi'er, I'm not afraid of how many 100,000 years I am, what I'm afraid of is that every 100,000 years, I will see you one step later. ”

Zi Ning's heart was shocked, she closed her eyes suddenly, her heart was beating hot like fire, and she muttered to herself, "Witch Spirit King, where are you?"

Wu Peng suddenly bowed and said, "The old man has completed the mission entrusted by the old man, please follow Miss Zining back to the Wu clan with me and be the successor of the Witch Spirit King." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was stunned, "Xuannu is the next Witch Spirit King?" The girls couldn't help but discuss.

"No wonder using a golden hairpin treasure as bait, this red-bearded elder really didn't have a good heart. Everyone in the Immortal Dao Realm wants to enter the Immortal Clan, even if they are not qualified, it is good to stay in the Dao Clan for the rest of their lives, who wants to go to the wild land of the Wu Clan!" The brocade-clothed goddess from before pouted and said.

The women lost interest in the golden fairy peacock hairpin, the fairy goddess woman was shrewd, and thought that even though she had a stunning beauty, but more importantly, the name, with a golden hairpin in exchange for the identity of the immortal clan, no one wanted to pay such a big price.

Xue Yin bit her lip lightly, a pair of clear eyes swirled on the faces of the women, and suddenly waved her hand at Zi Ning, her eyes eager, "You must not go to the Wu Clan, the Absolute Emperor is the leader of the Immortal Clan, how can you be the successor of the Witch Spirit King, you and the Absolute Emperor ......" She glanced left and right with her eyes, and when she saw that the goddesses were stunned, they all stared at her in surprise, and quickly closed her mouth and bowed her head silently.

The Immortal Clan and the Wu Clan are incompatible, and Zi Ning has the blood of the Immortal Clan, and her identity is very special, so she can't take refuge in the Wu Clan no matter what.

The women seemed to have seen some clues, and secretly speculated in their hearts, could it be that the rumors were true, and the Kunlun Emperor and the Xuannu Zining had something to do with each other?

In the eyes of the immortal clan, the Kunlun Emperor will always live in the fairyland, dust-free, unattainable, and legend has it that the Emperor is not close to women, and even the relatives chosen by the elders of the immortal clan have retired.

How could such an immortal god monarch be involved with a mortal woman who had no skill level?

The girls were in doubt, only to see Zi Ning put the Golden Immortal Peacock Feather Hairpin back into the box, held it in his hand, sent it to Wu Peng, and said, "Uncle, this hairpin will be returned to you, I can't accept your kindness." My biological father and mother and master are both immortals, how can I go to the Wu clan to be the inheritor? Also, I will soon enter the Kunlun Sect, and I may never leave for the rest of my life, you ...... Let's find another successor. ”

Wu Peng's expression changed and he looked at her without saying a word.

The Golden Immortal Peacock Lingchai has already recognized Zining as the master, and there will be no mistake. But why didn't she go to the Wu Clan, hadn't she comprehended the revelation in the Peacock Feather, what was going on?

After a while, he came back to his senses, only to see Zi Ning's eyes tremble, and he asked cautiously: "I want to ask you about something, Witch Spirit King, he ...... Where are the people?"

"No one knows where the Witch King is. Wu Peng's eyes were blazing, he stared at her for a moment, and said, "If you want to obtain the inheritance of the Infinite Xuannu, the only way to find the Witch Spirit King is to find it first. Miss Zining, do you really want to go to the Wu Clan? If there is no inheritance, the lifespan of the Xuannu is no different from that of ordinary mortals, and she can only live for a hundred or ten years at most. ”

Zi Ning's gaze was very firm, "I'm not going." Even if she only lives to be 100 years old, she hopes that these 100 years will be with Yue Hengtang.

Seeing the calm look on her face, Wu Peng sighed and said: "The old man understands the girl's intentions, this matter should not be forced, the peacock hairpin already belongs to you, and the Wu clan will not take it back." If one day you change your mind and want to be the heir of the Wu Clan, come to me with this golden hairpin. It was unbearable to stay here, and the old man took his leave. ”

As he spoke, a stream of gray smoke surged up, and the whole person disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Zi Ning was stunned and held the antique wooden box, only to feel as if her heart had been hollowed out, lost and confused. There are many dusty memories buried in my mind, but they can't be revealed, which makes a burning anxiety rise in my heart.

If you want the inheritance of the Infinite Xuannu, do you have to find the Witch Spirit King first?

Ye Liannu's eyes were horizontal, her eyes looked her up and down, and she giggled: "The person the Wu clan is looking for is really you, my sister's luck is so good, it makes Sister Xiao Yezi jealous to death." Turning his eyes to the women in the banquet, he frowned and said in disgust: "This place is really unbearable to stay for a long time, and it is a bad breath!"

Suddenly, he spun his body in place, the bell on his waist rang crisply, and the peach-colored soft gauze satin robe flew up, turning into a puff of white smoke and disappearing without a trace.

All the women were stunned, they all felt interested, and a tea banquet ended hastily.

Xue Yin invited Zi Ning and the three of them to stay in Nanshan Lingdong for two more days, and there were many rooms in Qingshuang Garden, so everyone got together to be more lively. Han Yingbai was expressionless, waved his sleeves and got up to leave the table, and ordered the disciples of Shushan to greet the guests and go back to the spiritual cave to cultivate.

All the goddesses dispersed, and the disciples standing in the corridors on both sides had their own hearts and followed the people of their own immortal clan.

When the banquet became empty, the shadows of the trees were swaying, it was almost dusk, Zi Ning even put the wooden box with hairpins into the blue Xuanyu bracelet, and sighed and said: "This golden fairy peacock hairpin fell into my hands, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, even if it's really a good thing, but it has something to do with the Wu clan, I don't dare to wear it." ”

The courtyard where the three people live is very quiet and ethereal, planted with many lush green bamboos, which are connected to form a dark green bamboo forest. The wind blows, and the swaying green leaves make a small crackling sound.

The house is transparent from north to south, half hidden in the bamboo forest, and a small square courtyard is enclosed with a flower branch fence behind the house, like a half-fan screen, separating a deep road carved out by the bamboo forest, and a swing shelf wrapped around the flower vine is set up next to it, and two stoves are opened on the other side.

Zi Ning sat by the window, looked out at the small courtyard behind the house, saw the flowers and green leaves, and couldn't help but rejoice: "The scenery here is elegant and quiet, and the people who live here can be called bamboo gentlemen." The bamboo leaves are verdant all year round, regardless of rain or shine, they all have a unique charm. ”

Mo Yikui looked around and nodded, "It's very quiet here, and it's more suitable for cultivation than the palace annex." And stay for two more days with peace of mind, anyway, this Qingshuang Garden was originally the place of Yuzun, and the people who live here are all guests, and we are not inferior to Han Yingbai. ”

Huan Ling saw that there were two wide windows in the house, and the carved window lattices were newly pasted with a layer of semi-transparent green veil, which was airy and quiet. I couldn't help but close my eyes and sniff deeply, "This room is transparent, the light is good, and there is a smell of bamboo." ”

The room is spacious and tranquil, with three low beds arranged side by side, separated by a gauze curtain of carved couch frames, and dressing tables and clothes boxes in front of the couches. A low square table was placed on the floor mat in the middle of the room, and the tea bowls, kettles, lampstands, and incense burners were all on the table, neat and clean.

The three-person room is not crowded and fully furnished.

The doors of the two houses were open, and the warm evening sun shone in from the outside, leaving a shadow of light on the bluestone floor. The bed was at the back of the room, next to a row of wide carved wooden windows. Under the window, a dense rose flower was planted, with strong flower bones.

Zi Ning's heart moved, remembering that Yuzun's mansion also planted a lot of bamboo and roses, and it seemed that Yuzun liked these two things very much.

At this time, Huan Ling looked out of the open window and couldn't help but rejoice, "There are these beautiful roses, which will bloom wantonly as soon as May comes, and they must be the flowers of a whole tree." After a pause, he sighed, "It's a pity that we can't wait for May, the roses haven't bloomed yet, and we're going to Kunlun." ”

She turned her head to look at Zi Ning, her eyes seemed to be soaked in clear spring water, and she said in a quiet voice: "Ning'er, the Absolute Emperor will take you to Kunlun, and Sister Moyi and I will ...... Can we go together? ...... Unwilling to part with Ning'er. ”

Kunlun Wonderland is not a place where mortal women can go, Zi Ning is already embarrassed to go alone, and if she brings two more people, I don't know if Kunlun will accept them.

If they can't go to Kunlun, Huan Ling and Mo Yikui can only go back to the country of Dove, although they can be on an errand by the side of Empress Hua Yao, but they can't see Zi Ning for the rest of their lives, and they feel sad and sad when they think about it.

Bai Qiu was lying on his head in the fruit bowl on the table, with his four little paws facing upward, holding an orange loquat fruit in his arms, and chirping: "We are not separated, let's go to Kunlun-" while shouting and throwing the loquat fruit into the air, cooing, and stretching out his little paw to catch it.

Seeing that it was enjoying itself and having fun, Zi Ning also grabbed a loquat fruit, put it in his mouth and took two bites, and said with a sigh: "Huanling, you don't have to worry, we will all go to Kunlun, and life and death will not be separated." She wasn't worried about this matter at all, Yue Hengtang took her to Kunlun, and her friends would go with her.

"Brother Tang is a good person, he must know that I can't do without Huanling and Moyi-" He turned his eyes to look at Baiqiu and said with a smile: "And Baiqiu, we are all together." ”

Baiqiu nodded and shouted, "We're all together, all together!"

Mo Yikui sat beside her, frowned and asked, "Zi Ning, do you really want to stay in Kunlun forever, and you don't want to be the head of Shu Mountain?" The four major clans of Shu Mountain have been in decline for a long time, and there are only two people left with the surname Yun and Mo Yi, and only one Elder Hua Zhen with the surname Hua can barely hold on to the situation, and the other disciples are not in the climate. Although the number of Qianji is large, there are also a lot of fights, and all of them are not enterprising, they are only greedy for pleasure, and Shushan must not be handed over to them. If you don't return to Shushan, the chances of revival of our four major clans are really slim. ”

Zi Ning sighed deeply, took Mo Yikui's hand, and there was a pity in her eyes, "The matter of reviving Shushan can't be rushed." Han Yingbai has succeeded to the position of head of the family, can't we compete with her? Besides, she has advanced skills, and has practiced the rank of empress, and her position is more stable after Xuanyuan Tai is enshrined in Zen, so what can I do to fight with her for a person like me who has no skill level?"

After pausing for a moment, he continued: "Moyi, it doesn't matter who is in charge of Shushan, as long as it doesn't disgrace the reputation of Shushan." Although Han Yingbai is not from the four major family names, if she is a good leader, she can still revive the righteous path of the immortal clan, why do you have to have the four major surnames in charge of Shushan. ”

Mo Yikui's eyes darkened, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, "It seems that I can't persuade you to ......" looked out of the window with a lost expression, and said slowly for a while: "Zining, you have to promise me one thing, if Han Yingbai damages the reputation of Shushan, you must depose her, become the head of the house yourself, and replace her." ”

Zi Ning looked at her and pursed her lips and smiled, "Even if Han Yingbai is not suitable to be the head, it doesn't necessarily have to be me." I think that Mo Yi is the best candidate, you think about reviving Shushan every day, you have great ambitions in your chest, and you are not in charge of the waste. ”

Huan Ling on the side nodded again and again, clapped his hands and smiled: "Sister Moyi is full of majesty, this is what it looks like to be the head of Shushan." If Ning'er is allowed to do it, she will have to make Shushan a mess. As he spoke, he raised his sleeves to cover his mouth, squinted and giggled.

Mo Yikui's face turned red, and she lowered her head and said: "I only have seventh-order skills, where can I be worthy of being the master......" She has been inherited from Shushan since she was a child, and her cultivation has entered a bottleneck period for more than ten years, if there is no new inheritance, I am afraid that she will not be able to improve after practicing for decades.

Zi Ning blinked, grabbed her sleeve and smiled: "If you say that you are not worthy, others are even less worthy." You have cultivated the seventh-order skill at such a young age, which is the same level as Aunt Qianji Ruochen, which is already very powerful. When we go to Kunlun together, you can use the spirit stones for cultivation as you like, and find a few more inheritances for the sake of chance, and you will be able to practice to the level of goddess in two years. ”

Mo Yikui looked at her and said helplessly: "You always have a lot of truths, but you don't want to go back to Shushan." He said in a quiet voice: "But Kunlun is not my home, I can't stay there for the rest of my life, we will be separated sooner or later." ”

Huan Ling nodded, his eyes were a little gloomy, and then he smiled and said: "Ning'er, I have already regarded Kunlun as my home, and I also said that the spirit stone for cultivation can be used casually, and it is completely the style of a Kunlun fairy queen." If the Emperor knows about it, he will definitely feel sorry for his spirit stone and not let Ning'er take us to Kunlun together. ”

Zi Ning's face was crimson, his eyes widened, and he said, "If Brother Tang feels sorry for Lingshi, I will live with the two of you, and I don't want him!"

Huan Ling laughed out loud, "Ning'er actually said that she would live with us, and when the Emperor heard this, he would be heartbroken." ”

The little white ball who was busy nibbling on the loquat fruit glared at him, and chirped: "Xi'er doesn't want me, and I'm heartbroken!" Zi Ning couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't be sad Baiqiu, I'll live with you, okay!"

Bai Qiu nodded and chirped, "Good hey, good hey-" The little eyes narrowed, and he continued to bury his head in nibbling on the loquat fruit.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly heard a sound of wind coming from outside the door, only to see a girl in white floating in, with an extremely cold expression, standing quietly at the door, but it was the goddess of Jingxiao who looked closely.

Huan Ling was quite jealous of her, and he pouted at Zi Ningnu and whispered, "Don't let her eavesdrop on us, I'll go and close the door." When he was about to get up, he was pulled by Zi Ning, "Let's do it right, and we're not afraid of others eavesdropping." If you go and close the door, you will be stingy. ”

When Huan Ling heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he glanced at Jingxiao outside the house and ignored her anymore.

Jingxiao only paced back and forth under the bamboo shadow outside the door, did not speak, and did not enter the house to say hello. Zi Ning trembled a little in her heart, and secretly thought: "She must have something to do here, and she doesn't know what she wants to do." ”

The spider silk strings kept coming to mind, Zi Ning calmed down slightly, and said to himself in his heart: "Thinking too much is asking for trouble, even if the spider silk strings are related to Brother Tang, I must believe him." ”

Huan Ling pulled his hair back in front of the bronze mirror, and saw Zi Ning in the mirror behind him smiling, revealing fine white teeth, a pair of black and agile eyes, and his posture was extremely beautiful and clear, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Although these goddesses who came today are also beautiful, they are not as handsome as Ning Er, no wonder the absolute emperor fell in love with Ning Er at first sight and liked Ning Er very much." ”

Zi Ning pursed her lips and smiled, and suddenly thought of a question in the blink of an eye, frowned and asked Mo Yikui: "Kunlun disciples, don't you eat on weekdays? Then the three of us went, wouldn't we be hungry every meal?"

Mo Yikui nodded and said: "The people of the immortal clan cultivate, and they mostly use the method of bigu, and they don't eat grains, meat, eggs, and meat, and only take some fairy grass and spirit flowers to nourish their qi." Those fairy grasses are all weird, I heard that someone grinded the spirit crystal into powder, and ate it with the fairy grass, in order to cultivate, any unpalatable thing can be endured. ”

Huan Ling shook his head and sighed: "This poor one is not as blessed as our mortal women." I love to eat Ning'er's cooking, and I don't hurt my appetite as much as I eat. ”

Zi Ning's eyes flashed, and he raised his hand to play with a string of bronze carved wind chimes, and there was a crisp sound of "jingle bells", and said with a smile: "I should improve my cooking skills and make delicious dishes with fairy grass and spirit flowers." Give it to Brother Tang, he must like ......" he said, blushing and laughing.

Huan Ling's eyes showed mischievous meaning, and he quipped: "When Ning Er mentions the Absolute Emperor, her eyebrows always dance, the Immortal Dao Realm is so big, I am afraid that only the Absolute Emperor makes her smile like this." ”

Zi Ning stuck out her tongue at her and said with a smile: "You don't understand, my cooking skills can turn decay into magic, and when I go to Kunlun, I must use fairy grass and spirit flowers to make new dishes, improve the food of the entire Kunlun, and benefit the world, this is my lifelong goal." ”

Outside the open door, the light and shadow on the bluestone ground shook, and suddenly a voice said coldly: "What a lifelong goal, you are so talented and skilled, you shouldn't drag down the Emperor." ”

The three of them looked at each other in astonishment, only to see Jingxiao, dressed in white satin, standing in the courtyard, looking at them peacefully.

Huan Ling was a little angry, and said dissatisfiedly: "We are talking, why are you eavesdropping?"

Jingxiao said lightly: "If there is nothing unseemly, I am not afraid of people eavesdropping." Anyone can come to this courtyard, and if you are timid, close the doors and windows and whisper to speak privately. ”

Huan Ling pursed her mouth and was about to refute, but was stopped by Zi Ning, raised her eyes to look at Jingxiao, and saw that her face was white, her shoulders shrugged slightly, and her beautiful face was shrouded in a layer of resentment.

Zi Ning somehow got up and walked to the door, stepped forward and stepped out of the threshold, and said: "Originally, we met in Pingshui, you are the fairy goddess of Danxue Mountain, your status is noble, you don't have to be lively with us, if you don't like it, just don't see us." ”

Jing Xiao's face turned red, lowered her head for a long time, and said, "I want to ask Miss Zining, what is the relationship between you and the Absolute Emperor?" I heard that the Absolute Emperor ...... you" The words in his mouth suddenly held back, and his eyes were faintly red.

Zi Ning smiled: "It turns out that you want to ask this, Brother Tang and I are in love, and after Xuanyuan Tai seals Zen, he will take me back to Kunlun together." Do you know Brother Tang?"

Jingxiao stood under the shadow of the bamboo, his eyes suddenly showed a trace of sentimentality, the fingers on the cuffs trembled slightly, and said quietly: "I grew up in Kunlun since I was a child, and he and I have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, do you say I know him......? How can I be in love with you, the daughter of a Taoist clan, I don't believe it-"

After saying this, her face turned slightly red, but her expression became even more cold, she clenched the fingers in her sleeves tightly, her eyes instantly turned red, and she said sharply: "You are a Xuannu, you must not be with Hengtang, you will not have a good result, I can't let you hurt him!"

Zi Ning was very stunned, and suddenly saw her eyes full of tears, rolling down, but she didn't know why she was sad, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Miss Jingxiao, I have always admired you, but how can you be so domineering? Why are you trying to stop us from being together?"
