Beyond the Divine States Chapter 86: : The Assassination of Linhe City

Beyond the peach curtain, there is no flow of strong spiritual energy. The cold wind is gloomy, and the whole wasteland is like a dry lotus covered by autumn frost, glowing with different shades of dry color, and it is desolate. And on the wilderness near the peach curtain, it seems It is sheltered by the fairy mountain, and there are still many dark-green trees growing in clusters and shrubs.

And those roads that have been paved by bushes, because no one has walked for a long time, are now covered by withered grass, the same color as the wasteland.

The undulating mountains farther away are connected from far to near in the line of sight. Cloud boats pass by, and those mountains are like huge rocks flying under one another.

"Uncle Lu has been to Linhe City?" Ning Xiaoling asked.

Lu Yuanbai was very happy to see this genius girl taking the initiative to talk to him, and said: "I have been there, this is a tens of thousands of miles, big and small towns, where hasn't been, one of the other elders on the cloud boat A person who cultivates the Tao is like a deep-seated lady. Uncle Lu is different from them. Uncle Master had enjoyed the scenery of Nanzhou back then, and he has been there."

Ning Xiaoling asked: "Then why don't you see Master Lu go out now?"

Lu Yuanbai touched the short cyan beard on his chin, and said with emotion: "It’s hard for people to be young again. When Shishu was young, he was too wild and delayed a lot of practice. Now he is in the peak every day and I see you all energetic. The vigorous appearance makes Uncle Master very happy in his heart."

Ning Xiaoling pretended to listen carefully.

The cloud boat flies high over the wilderness, the birds flies over the water, and the flowing clouds come like a huge wave.

At this moment, it is winter. Many mountains are covered with extremely thick snow. Looking from a distance, the white heads are everywhere. The weeds, withered vines, strange rocks and moss marks all carry the unique frosty air of winter, and the four peaks are far away. The peach curtain drifted silently under the sky, covering the truth after the desolation.

Ning Changjiu sat quietly, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Then have you been to the center of Nanzhou?"

Lu Yuanbai was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered some legends, and said in a bad mood: "I want to have the strength to go to Nanzhou Central. Can I still come here to set sail for you?"

Ning Xiaoling asked curiously: "Nanzhou Central?"

Lu Yuanbai smiled a little with Yan Yue, and explained: "Nanzhou is near the center, and there is a very dangerous and chaotic area. It is the site of an ancient battlefield, called the Southern Wilderness. It is said that the place has not been transformed for a century. The prohibition has become a huge field. It is difficult for ordinary people to enter the field. I heard that many other sects have been involved in danger, death, and disease. There are also accidents, but the ending is not good. , Even if it is a character like Shizu, it is said that he has not been able to reach the true center."

Ning Xiaoling was shocked and said with emotion: "It's so dangerous."

Lu Yuanbai smiled and said: "Yes, so please persuade you brother, but don't be stupid for that illusory good fortune, that place, even Uncle Lu dare not set foot."

Ning Changjiu said: "Well, Master Lu is an immortal in the fairyland, Master Shu dare not get involved, the place must be extremely dangerous."

Ning Xiaoling suppressed a smile.

Lu Yuanbai said angrily: "Your kid doesn't even know the year and month of entering the Xuan. Fortunately, he used a messy method to order a sword star, and he was in the mood to mock Lao Tzu?"

Ning Changjiu said: "The juniors really envy the realm of Uncle Master."

Lu Yuanbai couldn’t bear it. He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to teach him a lesson, but he looked at Ning Xiaoling on the side and withdrew his hand in anguish. It was not because of the girl’s face, but because he was not sure about it. , Can you beat this little girl who hasn't been in the market for a long time.

Ning Xiaoling lay on the side of the ship and looked down. In the sight of the endless wilderness, it was difficult to see any steep ups and downs, as flat as the surface of a lake.

"Uncle Lu won't go home for the New Year?" Ning Xiaoling asked suddenly.

Lu Yuanbai circled his arms, looked at a certain direction, and sighed: "Go back...I will go back when I finish sending you."

I don’t know how long it took, the barren mountains and ridges were finally in sight. A large river ran across the river. The surface of the large river was extremely spacious, turbid and yellowish. Even in winter, there was no sign of freezing, and it still rushed through the eight. Wild and wild, the waves are rolling.

Lu Yuanbai said: "This is Shahe. Ten years ago, outside of Shahe, Zhao Guo fought a battle with Yan Guo. In that battle, Zhao Guo killed hundreds of thousands and cut 600. Duolidi asked for peace for a while. If it weren’t for the Rongguo gazing at him, the country might have swallowed Zhao directly. In the past, these castle fortresses were all empty, but now there is finally someone garrisoned again, it’s said. , Because Zhao Guo has changed to a new emperor and she is still a woman. The woman is quite military, and she is already training soldiers for the shame of a dozen years ago."

Ning Xiaoling was full of expression: "Zhao Xianger?"

Lu Yuanbai was slightly startled, and said: "Huh? Does the younger sister know her too? The newly appointed female emperor is said to have lived in Jane for many years, but she has a great reputation. This time I heard that the imperial city is very messy. I don’t know what happened. In short, Zhao Xianger took advantage of the trend and took control of Zhao Country. It’s just that Zhao Country is no better than the mountain. How can a group of mortals gather spiritual energy, really want to cultivate, or die outside Immortal Sect. The female emperor neglected her practice for the sake of the power of the world. I feel that it is not worth it."

Ning Xiaoling listened to him chattering, just smiled and said: "That sister Xianger is so pretty."

Lu Yuanbai asked: "Is it heard from the past or I have seen it?"

Ning Xiaoling said: "Of course I saw it with my own eyes."

Lu Yuanbai thought that they were brought back by Lu Jiajia from the imperial city. It is normal to be lucky enough to have a relationship with Zhao Xianger. He looked at the direction of Zhao Guo and said: "That Zhao Xiang Er is said to be extremely beautiful. Not only that. I heard rumors that she seems to have a fiance, and I don’t know who has such a good blessing. It’s really enviable..."

Ning Xiaoling glanced at her senior, smirked for a while, and agreed: "Yes, yeah, Xiaoling is envious as a woman."

Lu Yuanbai asked casually: "By the way, Xiaoling, since you have met Zhao Xianger, who is more beautiful than her or your master?"

Ning Xiaoling's heart shuddered, and the smile on her face gradually faded. She glanced at Ning Changjiu, who was also looking at her with a smile.

Lu Yuanbai saw her delay in replying, he felt slightly different, thinking that he was just asking casually, as for the entanglement for so long?

Ning Xiaoling pondered over and over again, and said in a low voice: "Sister Xiang'er is eight years behind the master. After eight years, I will compare..."

……

……

Outside Linhe City, Ning Changjiu and Ning Xiaoling got off the Yunzhou, bid farewell to Lu Yuanbai, and walked towards the small city.

"Uncle Lu is also a pitiful person." Ning Xiaoling said suddenly.

Ning Changjiu asked: "Why do you say that?"

Ning Xiaoling started gossiping, and said: "Rumors, Master Lu was also a talented disciple before, but he liked a young female disciple of a certain peak, and that female disciple also liked him. For the good deeds of the Taoist couple, another disciple was kicked in. So... Shishu Lu was taken away by a male disciple who was more than ten years younger than him."

Ning Changjiu thought that no wonder he resented the words "being chaos and abandoning" so much at the time.

Ning Changjiu echoed: "Uncle Lu is really a poor person...I don't know which peak's female disciple it is?"

Ning Xiaoling said: "How do I know this, I just heard it casually, I don't know the true or false."

Ning Changjiu smiled and asked: "What else did you hear? Is there anything about our master?"

Ning Xiaoling also laughed, her eyes slyly, and said, "Isn’t our master’s biggest gossip about the days with us? It’s only for us to tell others, hey... if we let other disciples know about it, brother The process of applying the medicine to the master and tying the bandage is based on the current cultivation base of the brother, I am afraid that it will not be...Ah! I am wrong, brother."

Ning Changjiu pressed her head and said helplessly: "Oh, the little girl's realm is getting higher and higher, which really worries the brother. If the brother can't beat you completely in the future, he won't be rubbed to death by your mouth."

Ning Xiaoling glanced at him and didn't believe: "Brother lied, you are obviously very happy."

Ning Changjiu's figure stagnated, and curiously asked: "Can you still perceive?"

It's been two months now, so the four words of Master have been able to reach the sky like this?

Ning Xiaoling hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "In fact, I have always been able to, but I was afraid that the brother would mind, so I never said it."

Ning Changjiu sighed and asked fatefully: "Then what was my mood before...?"

Ning Xiaoling recalled for a while, and said: "It's been okay all the time...just the previous month, my brother seemed to be a little down."

The previous month...It was a day when his practice was getting into a bottleneck. He thought he was not worried, but he didn't expect that his mood was still a little depressed.

I can't hide it from myself, but I didn't hide it from the younger sister.

Hey, the cultivation of the mind is still not enough.

Ning Changjiu sighed: "I'm even more sad to hear you say that."

Ning Xiaoling worried: "Senior brother will not drive me away because of this, right?"

Ning Changjiu poked her in the back of the neck and said, "This will drive you home."

Two days before New Year’s Eve, Ning Changjiu and Ning Xiaoling entered the city together. They don’t need to clear the customs, they only need to ask the wooden sign of Jian Tianzong. After seeing the wooden sign, the soldiers guarding the city look again The eyes of the two Xiang Xiang also changed, full of surprise and envy. It seemed that Linhe City had not seen a few cultivation seeds for decades, and the guards exchanged a few words with them before letting them in.

Ning Xiaoling looked at the old streets in her memory. At this moment, there was thick snow on both sides of the street, and pedestrians wearing thick clothes came and went. It was clear that more than two months had passed, but she gave birth to something like a world away. a feeling of.

"When I was brought to Linhe City by Ning Qinshui for the first time before, I thought I was following an expert. I was full of hope that I could learn Taoism and then return to my hometown, holding a peach wood sword to kill the mountain monsters. Nothing. Thinking of..." Ning Xiaoling couldn't help but think of that unforgettable night. She thought she was bound to die.

Ning Changjiu's memory about this city slowly opened. It was his own memory in this life.

I didn’t meet the second brother bringing me back to the mountain gate. I went through several times. I originally learned the engraving in a craftsman’s house. Later, I was attracted by Ning Qinshui. He spent a lot of money to buy it. So far.

He came a long time earlier than Ning Xiaoling, but he seldom walked around. He traveled with Master, and his memory of this city was not as profound as Ning Xiaoling's.

"It's also a home anyway. I haven't returned for more than two months. I don't know if there are any thieves." Ning Changjiu said.

Ning Xiaoling smiled and said: "Don't worry, the dead ghost old Taoist can hide the money well, where can ordinary thieves find it."

Ning Changjiu said: "Well, then the money will be yours, Xiaoling will become a small rich man, don't forget the brother."

Ning Xiaoling patted her chest, and said arrogantly: "Don't worry, Xiaoling will support you in the future."

Ning Changjiu glanced at her and sighed: "Don't shoot."

Ning Xiaoling was taken aback, and immediately blushed, and said with shame: "Brother, others have become more and more immortal when they go up the mountain. It's okay for you, how can you still...huh, presumably brother was also a pretender before Qing Yundan, I want to tell Master Marry about this matter and let her poke you with a sword!"

Ning Changjiu smiled and said: "We were not the one who lied to her at the time? You really did this and you just fell into the net, and see if Lu will marry you in the future."

Ning Xiaoling glared at him and said, "You are not allowed to call the master's name directly!"

……

The door of the house couldn't be opened, so Ning Changjiu pulled Ning Xiaoling over the wall and entered.

There are not many valuable objects in the house, and the walls are very high, but this is of course unstoppable for them today.

"Hey, this old Taoist priest has made a lot of money by being kidnapped over the years, and he is not willing to buy a larger yard."

After Ning Xiaoling stayed in the imperial city and Tianku Peak, her eyes were naturally much higher. At the moment when she returned home, her eyes were not only dissatisfied, but she was still a little bit nostalgic.

The time spent here has also been screened in my mind scene by scene. Ning Changjiu walked into the courtyard, and his pace slowed down. Every tree and every stone here seemed to clearly indicate the years. No leave is allowed.

The years in that view are equally clear.

How can a person have two different life experiences at the same time?

The two are like fighting dragons and snakes, entangled with the light and shadow of fate, biting each other to swallow each other.

Slightly in a daze, Ning Xiaoling has already ran back into the house proficiently, saying something in her mouth: "Compass...stove...well, bed...beams..."

These are the locations where they secretly observed Ning Qinshui's private money back then.

Ning Changjiu also walked towards the house.

Suddenly, he stopped and frowned, as if he noticed something strange.

"Brother! What is this!"

In the room, Ning Xiaoling's surprised voice came out.

"What's wrong?" Ning Changjiu walked into the house and looked at the girl.

Ning Xiaoling was tearing up a piece of good fortune on the wall, and then pulled out a well-hidden letter from behind the good fortune.

"I just wanted to open my sword and look for the lamp, but I saw this at a glance..." Ning Xiaoling pinched the letter, blew it, and raised it to Ning Changjiu.

Ning Changjiu took the letter from her hand, took out the letter paper, unfolded it, his eyes were attracted by the lower left of the letter paper, and he was startled.

The lower left is a seal, a seal he has seen and is extremely impressive!

"This is..." He was shocked rarely.

Ning Xiaoling looked at his expression and became more curious: "What is it?"

"Yes..." Ning Changjiu was about to speak, but his brows were slightly raised.

"Be careful!" Ning Changjiu yelled, grabbed Ning Xiaoling's arm, and suddenly pulled her to her side. She leaped back very quickly, leading her out of the house in an instant .

Only when he retired, the sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded in the house.

Hey!

Just now on the back wall where they were, a short arrow pierced the wall and pierced in.
