Chapter 170: Invitation
The hands of the ancestor of the Zhou family paused on the girl's shoulders.
Even if they are smooth but dry, the hands are in strong contrast with the fair and delicate skin of the girl's neck, and there is a kind of evil beauty.
Because his heart was filled with violence and resentment, he didn't realize the passage of time, his hands paused for a long time, maintaining a motionless posture, Zhou Susang didn't understand what he was going to do, and his body trembled uncontrollably for a while.
It wasn't until the obvious tremor came into the palm of his hand that the ancestor of the Zhou family woke up.
His figure moved, returned to his couch, still waved his hand to the girl with a kind face, signaled that she could leave, and said softly: "There should be no problem, you continue to practice." ”
The uneasiness in Zhou Susang's heart disappeared suddenly, and she saluted the old man with great respect, and then retreated.
The ancestor of the Zhou family didn't look at her leaving, he hung his head and was silent, his face was full of gloom.
Time is extremely tight for an old man like him, but for a powerful cultivator who is always stuck at a certain juncture, or even unable to continue cultivating due to physical reasons, and if he continues to cultivate, the entire sea of qi may be completely frozen, when he is accustomed to spending a lot of time cultivating every day... Now that this amount of time has completely become idle, it will seem incredibly long.
Every breath is hard.
In such a torment, it is absolutely impossible for a person who has great power but cannot advance an inch, and can only feel that he is aging and dying.
The only fortunate thing was that he had more time to think than ordinary practitioners.
From the beginning, he didn't have the idea of letting Ding Ning live for a long time.
It is impossible for the supreme sword technique on the freehand fragment of the Zhou family to be passed down in the hands of outsiders, otherwise the declining Zhou family will even lose its last foundation.
According to his cultivation experience, before the Minshan Sword Meeting began, Ding Ning's Qi Sea should have begun to freeze.
At that time, he doesn't need to do anything, I'm afraid that the opponent in the Minshan Sword Society. will make Ding Ning disappear into this world.
Now Ding Ning's comprehension of the freehand fragment is of no help to him, he first has to determine whether the wine shop boy has lied to him, and then he doesn't want the wine shop boy to die meaninglessly... It doesn't make sense to him.
"It was a real event, and it probably won't ever happen again. Such a grand event cannot be missed. ”
The ancestor of the Zhou family, who had a gloomy face, thought with his fingers interlaced with his hands, and slowly muttered to himself.
The grand event he said naturally refers to the Lushan Alliance.
The Lushan Alliance agreed upon by the four dynasties nine years ago was an exposure of the deepest strength of each dynasty.
Not only the emperors of each dynasty will come to Lushan, but the most amazing characters of each dynasty will also gather in Lushan.
The current Emperor Yuanwu has reached the Eight Realms again, and what amazing wind and rain will it bring. Naturally, every cultivator in the world wants to know and see it with their own eyes.
Even if the entire Lushan Mountain would be closed by the armies and cultivators of the emperors of various dynasties, as long as you rush to some of the mountains around Lushan, you will surely be able to witness the changes in the qi at the top of Lushan.
For a cultivator like the ancestor of the Zhou family, it may be a great opportunity to perceive some changes in the qi when the higher cultivators carry or release the vitality of heaven and earth at a very close distance, and to perceive some lines flowing between heaven and earth.
For the ancestor of the Zhou family, the four words of the Lushan League also reminded him of more things.
Lushan is not far from Wushan.
And in Wushan. Hiding something that would be useful to him.
But whether he goes to Lushan or Wushan, he must go out of the mountain and out of the Zhoujia Ink Garden.
"It's time to go out for a walk. ”
The ancestor of the Zhou family looked at the night sky outside and said to himself indifferently.
Then he let out a deep sigh: "Prepare the car." ”
Zhoujiamo Garden is at least half a day's drive from Wutongluo. Departing at this time, you can go to the Wutong in the early morning.
......
In the darkness before dawn, the eldest grandson Qianxue opened his eyes.
All the qiē related cultivation vitality in her body converged into the sea of qi. Sink into the Jade Palace.
The sword in her Jade Palace, which was extremely dark in color, didn't need her to think at all, and she was extremely greedy to suck in all the True Yuan and Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi that had sunk into the Jade Palace.
It was impossible for an ordinary Natal Sword to contain such an astonishing True Yuan and Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. However, this Nine Netherworld King Sword is completely like containing a real world, a Netherworld.
Her perception also penetrated into this sword, and through the emanation of this sword, it was expanded several times.
The countless silkworms in Ding Ning's body sensed her abnormality, and he also opened his eyes with great vigilance, and said softly, "What's the matter?"
"The middle level of the Seven Realms, the five qi are incomplete, and the sea of qi is self-sealed. The eldest grandson Qianxue glanced at him and said slowly.
"It's the ancestor of the Zhou family, he should have come to me. ”
Ding Ning did not hesitate to affirm the identity of the person who came, and sneered: "After hiding in the ink garden for so many years, all the people of Changling thought he was dead, but now he is coming to find me in person, it seems that it is not an ordinary thing." ”
"Although the sea of qi is self-proclaimed by more than half, it is only the difference between the total amount and circulation of the true yuan and the heaven and earth, and he majored in the means of star condensation, and before the early years of the Yuan martial arts, he went through many cruel battles... If there is a real fight, I may not be sure of victory. ”
The eldest grandson Qianxue said with a rare solemnity: "You can solve such a person?"
Ding Ning thought for a while and didn't answer for a while.
The eldest grandson Qianxue's brows were furrowed, and there was a look of disdain on her face: "It seems that I still think too much, you have a talisman now." ”
Ding Ning understood what she meant, but he didn't have the slightest shame, just said calmly: "Let's see what he meant." ”
Several horse-drawn carriages stopped in an alley not far from Wutongluo.
The ancestor of the Zhou family in the carriage in the middle squinted his eyes slightly, looking at Changling City, which was immersed in the last trace of darkness before dawn.
Out of the ink garden, along the way, this Changling and the Changling in his impression have undergone countless changes, becoming more majestic and huge, and he can't imagine the blood that he used to drip.
Many of the original mansions have disappeared.
There is not the slightest trace to be seen.
It turns out that many things can really be erased to the point where no trace is left.
But I don't want to leave no trace in such a majestic city.
......
When the first rays of morning light fell on the sycamore, Zhang Yi had already gotten up, he began to sprinkle the courtyard, the broom in his hand was always a little distance from the ground, a trace of vitality flowing from his hands blew on the ground, and the fallen leaves and dust on the ground were swept away. But there was not a sound at all.
The reason for not making a sound was just to not disturb Xue Wangxu's sleep.
It's just that this kind of sprinkling and sweeping is also regarded as his homework, looking back at these years of practicing in the sycamore, he found that his invisible progress is faster than when he practiced in the Aries Cave.
He couldn't find a reason.
But Ding Ning is very clear about the reason.
The most important state of practice, when you do something seriously with a sincere heart, it is naturally easier to succeed.
Xue Wangxu has never been so weak.
And Zhang Yi, who is extremely respectful and filial, has never been so worried about Xue Wangxu, and taking care of Xue Wangxu wholeheartedly is the most important thing for him.
Every move is dedicated, how can it not progress quickly.
After sprinkling and sweeping the courtyard, Zhang Yi still opened the door silently. Carrying some dry wood and a stove to the outside to make a fire, at this time Ding Ning also opened the shop door as usual, and at this time, Zhou Xiyi came from the alley.
Ding Ning already knew that the ancestor of the Zhou family had arrived in person, so he was not surprised, Zhang Yi was stunned when he saw Zhou Xiyi's arrival.
"My ancestor wants to see you. Zhou Shuyi always lowered his head, walked to Ding Ning's side, bowed slightly, and said softly.
Ding Ning didn't say much. nodded, and followed Zhou Xiyi, who turned around, out of the alley.
When approaching the carriages that stopped, the curtain of the ancestor of the Zhou family in the middle carriage was slowly pushed open by a soft force, revealing the figure of the ancestor of the Zhou family.
Ding Ning bowed very respectfully. "Why did you come to see me so early?"
The ancestor of the Zhou family had been watching Ding Ning's actions and expressions, and an imperceptible cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he felt that calmness could indeed hide a lot of feelings.
But his face was the mildest smile, and he patted the soft couch beside him. As if greeting his own Zhou family junior, he said kindly: "Come here to sit and talk." ”
Ding Ning sat down respectfully, like a well-behaved back ready to listen.
"I'll take a look at your cultivation. The ancestor of the Zhou family kindly stretched out his hands. As if touching the girl, it landed on Ding Ning's arms.
Ding Ning's face was not abnormal.
As his own vitality wandered, the Zhou family ancestor's breathing paused slightly, and he didn't notice anything abnormal, Ding Ning's qi qi was the same as he expected.
So, didn't the boy know anything more than he did?
Maybe I'm too suspicious.
How can a junior like him, in a short period of time, comprehend something more subtle and correct than himself?
The corners of the Zhou family ancestor's mouth flashed with a hint of self-deprecation, and then turned into endless cold and violent meaning, and in a very short period of time, it turned into extreme mildness.
"In a few days, it will be the Lushan Alliance that will determine the future fate of our Great Qin Dynasty. ”
He looked at Ding Ning and said softly: "This is a real event, I want you to accompany me to have a look, you can think about it." ”
"It's possible to have some special encounters, but it's also very dangerous to go to such an event. ”
After a pause, he added kindly, "Even a cultivator who is called to follow into Lushan may not be safe. We couldn't enter Lushan, so we had to go to the mountains and forests closest to Lushan as much as possible to watch the ceremony. It's just that there will also be cultivators from various dynasties, so disputes are inevitable. Even I don't necessarily guarantee that I will get out, so you don't have to answer me right away, you can think about it. ”
"You've said that you can't guarantee that you will be able to get out of the way, and it's natural for a cultivator like me to die there. Ding Ning thought coldly in his heart, but there was no obvious change in his face except for the surprise of thinking. (To be continued......)
