It rained hazy and light rain for two days in a row, and the Xiqi capital city was humid, and it was shrouded in a thick layer of fog everywhere, showing a sense of fairy energy.

The auction lasted for five days, and the disciples of the Dao clan's caves gained a lot and drove out of the city with their horses and chariots. The Xuanyuan Tai Feng Zen Ceremony is coming, this is a major event of the Immortal Clan, and ordinary Dao disciples are of low rank and are not qualified to participate in the ceremony, so they are in a hurry to bring the pill back to cultivate. I hope that the next time I seal Zen, I will be able to upgrade my rank and get a glimpse of the demeanor of the new Divine Monarch Empress.

The capital of Xiqi Kingdom was empty and deserted in an instant, the palace was bleak, and even the liveliness of the streets and alleys had decreased a lot.

Yunzu has been wandering in all directions for many years, and he is the most idle person, and he is not used to seeing the complicated rules of the immortal clan, so he left the Xiqi Palace early and took Zining and a group of juniors to live in the other garden.

He is not only extremely senior, but also Yuzun's master, Emperor Xiqi was afraid of neglecting the predecessors of the immortal clan, so he personally sent someone to arrange the garden neatly, clean it carefully, and sent a group of old servants and servants to serve Yunzu day and night.

The Emperor Jue and others were preparing for the Zen Sealing Ceremony, busy with retreat and cultivation, Yun Zu was happy to be at ease, instructing Zi Ning to practice the immortal method day and night, and teaching her the proud "fixing technique", hoping that she would refine it as soon as possible and raise her eyebrows in front of everyone in the immortal realm.

Zi Ning is very talented, and she only memorized the "fixing technique" a few times, but the immortal methods are all cooperated with powerful skills, and she auditioned several times in a vain frame style, which has no practical use.

Seeing this, Yun Zu shook his head and sighed: "The fixation technique does not have enough power, not only is it useless, but it is also easy to backlash, with your little trick, I am afraid that you can only fix ordinary mortals, even if the sparrow pheasant flies faster, you can't fix them." ”

After thinking for a moment, he said, "You are a Wuji Xuannu, after you get the inheritance, your skills will naturally improve, and my old man doesn't have to rush it." In this way, when you encounter danger on weekdays, you will only use your true qi to condense into a group to beat people, how can you be so clumsy like my apprentice, I will teach you a set of wind knife exercises, and you will not be ashamed to fight with people in the future. ”

Yun Zu has a free and wanton temperament, is not restrained, loves face and is the best at protecting his shortcomings, his apprentices must not be bullied, and when his apprentices bully others, they have to be free and easy, dazzling and good-looking, and they can't ruin Yun Zu's reputation.

When Zi Ning heard this, she was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "My life-saving kung fu is to shoot a few fireballs, which are ugly and laborious. Master taught me some beautiful exercises, the best is infinitely powerful, with a flick of a finger and a smile, you can put the enemy to death, this is the style of an invincible fairy. ”

Yun Zu nodded and said: "Although there are many wind knife exercises in the world, this set is created by my old man, flowing clouds and water, chic and free, without the pedantic spirit of the immortal clan, it is most suitable for your little girl to cultivate, and it must look good when you use it." However, the Wind Knife Technique is only a self-defense technique, and it cannot be fiercely confronted with the enemy, if you encounter a powerful opponent, you had better rub oil on the soles of your feet and avoid it from afar. ”

The wind knife technique does not require the use of weapons, and only uses the palm wind as the blade, which is similar to the fairy finger spirit sword of Shushan. Zi Ning has always envied Yue Hengtang for turning his sword into a sword with ten fingers, and his sword aura is domineering, so he also attaches great importance to the wind knife, and his cultivation attitude is very serious.

After practicing for a few days, he had learned a similar way, and he had made rapid progress, and the walls, trees, gates, tables, chairs, and beds around the garden were all cut out of the blade marks.

She fought with Mo Yikui, who was a seventh-order skill, and she could barely hold the two pillars of incense. Then Qi Song practiced with her with the Qilin Lightning Body Method, and Zi Ning's palm wind blade spun out, and one move could instantly chase ten zhang away.

Huan Ling looked overjoyed, and also wanted to ask Yun Zu to teach her the wind knife exercises, Zi Ning specially cooked a few exquisite side dishes, and brewed hot and fragrant fairy grass flower tea, which made Yun Zu happy, smiling, and a group of juniors surrounded him, and finally let go and were willing to give some advice.

At the moment, he taught the "Wind Knife" stunt to Mo Yikui, Huan Ling and Qi Song, and even Bai Qiu was coquettish and obedient together, so Yun Zu taught it two tricks. Suddenly, the whole garden became lively, a group of people of all sizes were crazy about cultivating the wind knife, from morning to night, countless blades slashed, cutting the courtyard and houses into a broken wall, dilapidated and decadent, and not even a single intact grass could be found around.

Yun Zu instructed them with a smile all day long, moved a small wooden stool and sat in the courtyard, brushing his white beard with great pride. Zining's four wind knives are skilled day by day, and they take turns to serve good food and drink to honor him, and several juniors are sweeter than the other, which makes him feel happy and has a great sense of achievement.

Several people were busy cultivating, and the new maid Luo'er was very calm and submissive, rarely meeting everyone, and kept stuffy in the room and didn't come out, with powder bags on her face, bent on turning her complexion white.

Zi Ning saw that persuasion was useless, so she ignored her, and practiced cooking with Mo Yikui and others all day long.

On this day, Empress Hua Yao had a cold war with Emperor Fa Dove, and the emperor returned to Fa Gu in a fit of anger and did not participate in the Xuanyuan Tai Feng Zen Ceremony. Empress Hua Yao didn't mind, and ordered someone to call Zi Ning and Mo Yikui to her side, and the mother and daughter were close and chatted about some trivial matters.

The fine bamboo curtains on the lattice window in front of the house were rolled up, Mo Yikui put on a new incense, and stood a soft backrest embroidered with shuttle patterns on the side of the couch, so that Empress Hua Yao could lean comfortably, and brought a shining satin pillow and put it under her arm.

Empress Hua Yao looked at Zi Ning, who was smiling like a flower, and sighed faintly, "Ning'er, seeing that you are becoming more and more smart, and your appearance is so good, how can you make your mother not hurt you." Raise your hand to take the hairpin and pluck the ashes of the incense burner, and the memory will spread with the green smoke in the incense burner.

Jian Zun Heshen's voice was still in his ears, "Hua Yao, in the future, our child will not have to cultivate immortals and practice the Tao, as long as she is happy, she can do whatever she wants, why bother with nature? You and I Yunhua have borne the responsibility of tens of thousands of years in Shushan, and we should also unload this burden, so that our children can grow up easily and happily, and there will be nothing to worry about." ”

His eyes trembled, and he was faintly worried, "He Shen, our children can't avoid the way of cultivation, fortunately, Ning'er is lively by nature, although she cultivates the immortal law, she laughs and laughs every day, and is carefree, you should also rest assured." ”

"My mother can be relieved, now that I have grown up and learned a lot of skills, I don't have to worry about my suffering. What's more, I'm going to Kunlun to cultivate and improve my skills, and it's a good thing to suffer a little. Even if I don't achieve anything in the future, I will cook and cook myself, and I will not starve to death. Zi Ning smiled and explained her mother softly.

Seeing that Empress Hua Yao's eyebrows gradually stretched, Mo Yikui offered a cup of hot tea, sighed and said, "The empress is not in good health, and she is also suffering from heart disease. Zining has grown up safely, and it has become a good medicine for comfort. ”

Empress Hua Yao nodded slightly: "Ning'er's temperament is the same as when I was young. His eyes twitched slightly, and he looked at Zi Ning deeply, "My mother entrusted you to Chef Lin to raise you back then, do you blame me for being too ruthless?"

Zi Ning pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "My mother was also forced to be helpless back then, Shushan was destroyed, and Jianzun left a descendant, and she never dared to let people know, so she gave me away." But I'm willing to do this, staying in the deep house to be everyone's ladies, it's better to be in the dining room, free and easy, and I have learned a lot of skills. ”

Empress Hua Yao's eyes flashed with tears, and she said in a quiet voice: "When I gave you to be raised, in addition to hiding your identity, I also wanted you to experience some hardships and hardships. My descendants of Shushan can survive poverty and keep wealth, this is the demeanor of the immortal clan. Unlike these little immortal clans today, raising their daughters is stingy, all of them are sour and jealous, and their hearts only hold on to the little idle things under their noses, and they don't have any knowledge. Alas, the arrogant and resolute spirit of the immortal clan in the early years is all gone. ”

At one time, the smoke of gunpowder was filled with smoke across the seas and wilderness, instantly covering the wealth and glory of the void in front of him. Empress Hua Yao sighed secretly, if time could be turned back, she would rather drive side by side with Jianzun Heshen, life and death.

Raising his hand and brushing the red brocade light yarn of the begonia, the cold step on the top of his head became more and more cold. The corner of his mouth smiled desolately, "It turns out that the light yarn wrapped in this sick body is not only a waste of time, but also a lot of talents, it is really useless." ”

Zi Ning couldn't help but sour when she heard her sad tone, and said softly: "I understand my mother's hard work. It's just ......" rolled his eyes, revealing unbearable sadness, "It's just that my mother doesn't have to suffer herself, if you don't want to go back to the country of the dove, just move in with me, I will definitely honor my mother." ”

Although the mother and daughter have just met for a short time, there seems to be a natural emotional bond, and there is no rustiness. At this time, Zi Ning's true feelings were revealed, half snuggling in the arms of Empress Hua Yao, hooking her neck and talking, without pretentiousness.

Empress Hua Yao turned her eyes and looked down at her, scratched her little nose with her fingers, and said with a smile: "Ning'er is going to Kunlun, Kunlun Immortal Palace will be your home in the future, and my mother will naturally not be able to accompany you for a lifetime." It can't be said that the emperor married a daughter-in-law and was dragged down by his mother-in-law. ”

Zi Ning's face immediately turned red, and she lowered her head and muttered: "Then what are you afraid of, my mother is at the rank of the empress, and if she stays in Kunlun, no one will dare to bully me." ”

Empress Hua Yao couldn't help laughing, stroked her pink little apple face, and said with a smile: "According to me, even if you go to Kunlun, the one who is bullied must be the Absolute Emperor." My daughter is so clever that Yue Hengtang is reluctant to bully. ”

The mother and daughter talked and laughed for a while, and Empress Hua Yao suddenly thought of something, turned her head and asked Mo Yikui: "Can the head of Shushan come to Xiqi Kingdom?"

Mo Yikui nodded and replied: "I just had a maid come to report, Han Yingbai, the head of Shushan, has been going to various immortal mansions on the road for a banquet these days, and I will go to the capital of Xiqi in the afternoon today." ”

Empress Hua Yao raised her hand to hold her loose bun and said, "When she comes, you can find a space and go to the front to salute, it is inconvenient for me and Old Man Yun to show up." ”

Yunzu was expelled from Shushan in more than 100,000 years, and Empress Hua Yao ignored the opposition of Shushan and married the Daoist Emperor Fado, and had no contact with the people of Shushan. The new head Han Yingbai has just succeeded her, and she visited the Immortal Cave Mansion everywhere, and when she came to Xiqi Kingdom, it was inconvenient for each other to see each other.

After a pause, Empress Hua Yao continued: "I heard that Han Yingbai is a strict person, and although she is young, she has a tendency to decide life and death. You meet her according to etiquette, you don't have to say anything, if she doesn't like Ning'er, you just go away, don't collide. ”

Personal grievances are trivial, and the majestic status of the Shushan Immortal Clan is the most important. Although Empress Hua Yao ignored the affairs of Shushan, it was reasonable for the new head to ascend the throne and order Zining to pay a visit. If there is infighting in Shushan and fighting with each other, it will make other immortals laugh.

Mo Yikui nodded in agreement, and said in a low voice: "Han Yingbai was just an ordinary female disciple of Shushan back then, but because of good luck, she received the inheritance of Shushan, and now she has become the head of Shushan. If you want me to say, Zi Ning is the descendant of the four surnames of Shushan, and Zi Ning should be the head of the family. ”

Empress Hua Yao smiled lightly: "Ning'er wants to marry Kunlun, how can she have the spare time to be the head of Shu Mountain?" squinted at Zi Ning, and said with a light smile: "Once I look forward to being a gentleman, I will be pityful with love." Ning'er, what my mother said is right, right?"

Zi Ning blushed suddenly, rolled into her arms, twisted her body and coquettishly, and said with a half-hearted bow: "Mother is right, I don't want to be the head of the house." Willing to be a winged bird in the forest, only envy the mandarin duck and not the immortal, there is a person who knows each other in this life, and then wants those useless Laoshizi, it is all self-seeking troubles and wasted effort. ”

After saying this, Empress Hua Yao touched her heart, stroked her black hair and smiled: "It's really my daughter, it's the same as my mother thinks." It's just that I took a closer look a few days ago, and Yuzun seems to be interested in you. Ning'er, he is the son-in-law of Shushan, and he is a talented woman with Qianji Xueyinlang, you always have to avoid suspicion and stay away from him. ”

The fact that Zi Ning is a descendant of Jianzun has long been spread all over Shu Mountain, and Han Yingbai is quite taboo about her, seeing that she wants to be crowned the Empress of Zen, and the position of the head of the house is stable, so she disdains to be her enemy and deliberately embarrasses. But if Zi Ning and Yuzun get too close and cause Xiqi Kingdom and Shushan to ruin the marriage contract, it is a deliberate provocation, and the head of Shushan will never allow her.

Zi Ning raised her hand and scratched her forehead, frowned and said, "The relationship between the Immortal Clan and the Dao Clan is so complicated, it is really a **** annoyance. Yuzun is not a child, who can control what he wants? If he can't break the marriage contract, how can he rely on me. But don't worry, my mother and Xue Yin are very close to each other, and I will definitely not go against her and rob the person she likes. ”

Empress Hua Yao nodded and sighed, "Actually, my mother is just worried that you have too many enemies, especially Shushan, which is our family, although the four surnames are in decline, they can't make a fuss with the new head." You have such a refreshing heart, and it is indispensable to cause trouble, but with the help of the Emperor, it also saves me from worrying. ”

Suddenly, another timid girl figure appeared in her mind, her eyes were worried, and she sighed and said: "It's just Tong'er, who has been pampered by her mother's side for all these years, is a little weak, and she is timid when she sees people talking, and she is hesitant when she encounters things, and she lacks the rigidity of some fairy ladies." Ning'er, she is your own sister, even if she has done something before that can't help you, you should forgive her. ”

Zining naturally has a heroic and uninhibited style, more like his biological father Jianzun. Tong'er is the daughter of Emperor Dove, who has been exposed to the emperor's indecision since she was a child, and her temperament is sentimental, and it is inevitable that there are some Taoist petty children.

Zi Ning nodded and smiled: "What did you mention it in the past, I'm fine now, and I'm a blessing in disguise." And Tong'er is still young, we don't have to worry, she is her mother's daughter, and she will one day be like her mother. It's just Fang Luoxi of the emperor's family, she broke off the marriage contract with the emperor, I don't know what will happen. She's a year older than me, and she's my older sister. ”

Empress Hua Yao took a sip of hot fairy grass tea and smiled coldly, "Fang Luoxi is also a genius, she can sell you to Yuzun as a concubine, and she already hates you to the bone." With her heart, this matter will not be settled, you and the Emperor must be careful. ”

raised his head and looked at Zi Ning carefully, and said: "However, the young people of the immortal clan, it is common for them to cause trouble with their fighting spirit, if they are restrained by the rules, they will break their strong arrogance." When you meet Fang Luoxi in the future, you don't have to endure it when you should make a move, what if she is a water spirit root goddess, my daughter may not be afraid of her. ”

Zi Ning clapped her hands and smiled: "Don't worry, mother, I'm not afraid of her at all." If she dares to sell me again, I will hit her with a wind knife and a fireball. ”

After a pause, he frowned and said to himself, "But I don't know what level it is now." With his head raised, he counted his fingers carefully, "After cultivating these days, my skills are at least two or three levels." In the past few days, Master has taught me the Wind Knife, and I should be able to reach the fourth or fifth order...... , After a few days to participate in the Zen Sealing Ceremony, I can barely be six or seven steps. ”

When Empress Hua Yao heard her, she couldn't cry or laugh, this girl regarded cultivation as child's play, jumping from the second and third steps to the sixth and seventh steps, speaking easily and happily, it was easier than eating a meal. He immediately shook his head and smiled: "If you can refine to the fourth or fifth order in the past few days, the streets of the Immortal Dao Realm will be full of Divine Monarchs." Cultivation is the most taboo and impatient, but do you think it's so simple? ”

Zi Ning has a straightforward temperament and has always been full of confidence in herself, so she disagreed, and pouted: "If others can't cultivate, maybe I can." I'm a Wuji Xuannu, and it's very possible to upgrade to a level overnight. Besides, I don't think it's difficult to cultivate at all, it's similar to stir-frying and cooking. ”

At this time, Mo Yikui suddenly interjected, "The fastest way to improve your strength is to find the Xuannu inheritance, like Shushan Han Yingbai, she got the Shushan inheritance when she was ten years old, and she has cultivated for less than ten years, and she has reached the level of the empress." Xuannu inherits the first in the world, if you can find it, no one in the immortal world is your opponent. ”

Zi Ning's eyes lit up, and she was very excited, "It's really so powerful, then I have to find the inheritance quickly." After thinking about it, he was a little puzzled, "What is the inheritance, and how can I receive it?" There are so many disciples in Shushan, why do Han Yingbai get the inheritance, but others can't?"

Empress Hua Yao nodded and patiently explained: "The inheritance of a sect's cave mansion is left behind by its deceased predecessors, and it is only passed on to the descendants of this sect. Inheritance is not only based on identity, but also on talent and fate. I think that I had a chance to receive a 10,000-year inheritance at the peak of Shu Mountain, so I became the empress at the age of twenty-five. ”

Mo Yikui sighed faintly, "I grew up in Shushan since I was a child, and I received a inheritance when I was five years old, but I was still young at the time and didn't know much about cultivation, so I only practiced the seventh-order skill until now. I heard that the Jingxiao Divine Maiden was also inherited at the age of five, and she practiced hard for ten years to cultivate the level of the Divine Maiden, which is much stronger than me. ”

"Jingxiao Goddess?" Empress Hua Yao's eyes moved, frowning slightly, "Why does it sound so familiar?"

Mo Yikui hurriedly replied: "Isn't it the Jingxiao girl from the Phoenix Terrace of Danxue Mountain, she also visited the country of Fa Jiu two years ago, she is really beautiful, and she has the demeanor of a fairy lady." It is not easy for such a small immortal clan as Danxue Mountain to produce a goddess. ”

Empress Hua Yao moved the pillow, pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "Jingxiao is also capable, she has cultivated into a goddess in just a few years, although Danxue Mountain is small, it also has an ancient heritage. Such a little immortal clan, Kunlun and Penglai will take care of and support her, and no one dares to covet her. ”

Raised his eyes to look at Zi Ning, and said: "Ning'er, you have to pay more attention to the Jingxiao Goddess, she is the owner of the Phoenix Terrace of Danxue Mountain, if you want to find the inheritance of the Xuannu, you must first find a white phoenix." All the phoenixes in the immortal realm are from her Danxue Mountain, you have to ask for her, you have to make more friends. ”

Zi Ning nodded, and said with a smile: "Mother, be relieved, my daughter likes to make friends the most, whether it is Han Yingbai or Jingxiao Goddess, as long as I treat them as friends, they will naturally be good to me." ”

Looking out the window, I saw the thin bamboo curtains rolled up high, revealing the plum branches that snaked up at the eaves. A beautiful spring light, showing the loneliness of the plum, slowly stretching the branches, forming a subtle new leaf at the tip.

Q version:

Zi Ning: I have to sort out the treasures and exercises: Linglong Feather Fan, Blue Xuanyu Bracelet, Purple Light Xuantie, Wind Knife Technique, True Qi Mass, Big Fireball...... What else, is the white ball also counted as one?
