Nightfall Chapter 58: Lake in the Valley

Volume Two, Winter Lake, Chapter 58, Lake in the Valley

The steep cliffs rose quickly in front of them, and the weeds between the cliffs were dragged into a green line, and then disappeared quickly. The slight cold wind beat his cheeks, Mo Shanshan's left hand tightly grasped Ning Que's belt, eyes There was no panic in her eyes, let alone exclaiming, because she believed that people like Ning Que would never commit suicide.

With a sound, the **** umbrella opened in the air, and the two of them shook heavily, and the speed of their falling suddenly slowed down a lot. They left the cliff along the wind and floated towards the broad-leaved forest not far below. .

The eyes were squinted by the wind. She raised her head and saw that the **** umbrella covered the snowy sky. When the strong mountain wind was blowing, she was only slightly deformed, and she couldn't see any collapse. I can’t help but wonder what material this black umbrella is made of. It is so strong.

Ning Que held the handle of the **** umbrella tightly with his right hand, as tight as steel, and with his left hand wrapped around the bookworm’s waist, staring at the ground getting closer and closer, he didn’t have any extra attention to the warmth between his fingers. Feel. He held the little girl with his arms around the umbrella and jumped off the cliff many times, knowing that although the black umbrella is strong, the area of ​​the umbrella is still too small, and it won't be comfortable when he landed.

A few feet away from the ground, a very light and pure talisman was released from Moshan Mountain's fingers, and the air suddenly became viscous for several minutes, and the speed of the two of them falling again slowed down.

Ning Que knew that Mo Shanshan had made a move, so he stopped his preparations to cast a talisman and hugged her waist.

With a muffled sound, his knees bend slightly, and he landed heavily on the ground outside the forest. The skeletal muscle joints were tight and loose at the moment of landing, perfectly removing most of the impact, and the girl in his arms seemed to be Not aware of anything.

Ning Que let go of his arm and nodded in greeting to her.

Mo Shanshan shook his head and calmly left his arm.

There are countless fallen leaves accumulating on the ground outside the forest. It is a little soft when you step on it. I don't know how many years it has accumulated to accumulate to such a thickness, but the strange thing is that there is no smell of corruption.

Although this forest is a broad-leaved forest, but after all, it has just reappeared. The green leaves between the tops are plucking up the tender girl, unable to cover the star points and snowflakes that leak from the snow cliff, and it is as star point. green.

The two walked into Qinglin and disappeared in a moment.

……

……

Walking into the green forest, gradually away from the snow cliff, there are no more snowflakes from the world outside the mountain, but the sky above the valley is still gray, lined with the star-point green in the forest, more It was desolate.

I don’t know if it’s because of the pressure caused by the breach of the covenant, or because Prince Longqing mentioned Sangsang, who is far away in Chang'an. After entering the forest, Ning Que was very quiet, not as active as before, just walking silently .

Mo Shanshan was also very silent, looking at his back, thinking of the previous conversations between the snow cliffs, thinking of the little maid who made Ning Que go back to protect against her original intention, thinking that it is not **** but The extra cruel gambling agreement, momentarily sad and momentary worry, silently stepped on the fallen leaves in the forest without making any sound.

Looking from the top of the snow cliff, this verdant valley is not big, but when I really came to it, I realized that the valley did not look magnanimous, but it was far-reaching. The two of them walked silently in the forest for a long time. It hasn't reached the end of the valley yet.

This place is far enough from Xueya, no longer worrying about being heard or chased by Prince Longqing, Mo Shanshan looked at the **** umbrella behind Ning Que, after all he could not suppress the doubt in his heart, and asked: "Previously Why not fight?"

Ning Que stopped, looked back at her and asked, "Why do you want to fight?"

Mo Shanshan looked into his eyes and said seriously: "When you taught me to fight in the carriage, I once said that when two tigers meet, the most important thing to remember is...the brave wins."

Ning Que was silent for a while and replied: "In front of Long Qing, I can't even talk about being a tiger."

Mo Shanshan glanced at the kit dangling from his wrist, and said: "With a magic rune in hand, a child can become a tiger."

Ning Que shook his head and said: "The master took too much effort to write a rune that can also be used in the realm of no confusion. As an apprentice, I can't abuse it naturally, and you and I are both in the rune. It should be clear. This kind of stimulus is not made by oneself. It is difficult for a master to give out the true power of it. I am not sure that this amulet will hurt Longqing."

Mo Shanshan raised his face slightly, looked at him and said seriously: "There is still me."

Ning Que said sincerely: "Thank you, but this is between me and Long Qing after all. There is no reason for you to take risks. What's more, you received the edict from the temple. I can't let you turn your face on me and the temple. "

He looked at the cliff that was vaguely seen outside Qinglin, and said: "Our purpose of entering the mountain is for the book of heaven. Eventually I will face Prince Longqing. He wants to push me in and cannot retreat. I also have the same idea about the desperate situation of him. It will be good for the rest of the matter to solve him in advance."

Mo Shanshan frowned slightly and said: "Where is Prince Longqing such a good solution."

Ning Que said: "It's not easy to solve it in the past, but now that I have a deal to break the boundary, the situation is completely different. As long as I can break the boundary before him, then he will be solved."

He speaks slowly and his tone is calm, as if he is talking about something for granted.

Mo Shanshan looked at him, and suddenly realized that he never seemed to have ever thought that he would lose this bet, nor did he think that even if he wins the bet, what if the other party regrets it? Although the **** son of Xiling was devoted to Haotian, if he really wanted to destroy his cultivation base and leave the temple, his vows in the name of Haotian would not be really binding.

She asked: "What if you lose this bet?"

Ning Que simply replied: "I will not lose."

Mo Shanshan asked without hesitation: "If."

Ning Que was slightly startled and said: "If I lose, then I lose. I have gone through all the hardships to get through. Is it really stupid to fulfill the gambling agreement and then turn myself into a useless person?"

Mo Shanshan couldn't believe his ears, and asked: "What about Master's reputation?"

Ning Que thought about Lin Ling, the unstoppable great teacher in Wang Ting Tang Ying, and laughed.

"I haven't met the teacher yet, but according to the descriptions of the seniors, he shouldn't care. On the contrary, if I lose the bet and really choose to make myself a useless person and then leave the college pitifully, his elderly Or they will be very angry, angry at how they accepted such a foolish student."

Mo Shanshan still didn't understand this sentence.

Ning Que explained: "The meaning of this sentence is that the Master doesn't care much about his reputation."

"What if Prince Longqing is playing tricks after losing to you?"

"If I go to Dongxuan, I can't help him not fulfill the contract."

"It’s not so easy to challenge across borders. You are promoted to the Dongxuan realm, but you are no more than the lower rank. How can you win across the two realms? No matter how good at fighting you are, the gap between realms remains Too big."

Ning Que looked at her and suddenly asked seriously: "If at the most critical moment of breaking the border, the breaker is suddenly disturbed by the outside world, what will happen?"

Mo Shanshan didn't know why he cared about this. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It depends on the interference from the outside world."

Ning Que said: "The most direct and strong one."

Mo Shanshan said: "The person who breaks the boundary will suffer a violent backlash, and may even have no hope of breaking the boundary in this life."

Ning Zhengtou said: "This is the best way."

Then the two fell silent again.

……

……

Seemingly silent and walking aimlessly, in fact, Ning Que has been following a certain direction. That powerful and proud breath is like a beacon in the sky, guiding him through the verdant green forest and through a swamp. , And then walked through a section of muddy rugged wet misty mountain road, before coming to a lake.

The area of ​​the lake is not large, with a radius of only one hundred meters, with winding shores and light waves. I don't know how many years it has existed in this strange valley, and there is no trace of artificial carving.

The verdant valley is warmer than the snowy peaks of Tianqishan Mountain outside, but it is actually a bit cold. It is more like the winter in Chang'an City. The water on the lake shore is covered by thin ice blocks. It disperses by itself, and gradually condenses on the quieter water in the distance.

It seems that there are no artificial traces, it is a natural lake in the valley, but Ning Que doesn't think so, because the powerful breath of familiarity and closeness comes from the depths of the lake. He stood on the lakeside and stared silently at the lake for a long time. Over time, I saw the white sand and cobblestones at the bottom of the water through the clear water, but did not see anything unusual.

Mo Shanshan could not perceive the powerful breath, but she could clearly perceive the existence of other things. She walked to Ning Que's side, looked at the slowly swimming fish in the lake, and whispered: "This lake It's a big formation. What is strange is that this lake itself is the formation eye, which seems to violate the principle of formation."

Ning Que said after a moment of silence: "The formation of the Unknowable Land is naturally a little different from the general formation."

"You mean this lake is the gate of the Demon Zong Mountain?"

She looked at the distant Xuefeng reflected on the lake, and suddenly remembered some records in the scriptures, her voice trembled and said: "There was a record in the scriptures. There was a lake at the gate of the Demon Sect. Could it be this lake? ."

Ning Que said: "It should not be wrong."

Mo Shanshan looked at the ordinary small lake in front of him, and couldn't believe it was so simple that he discovered the gate of the Demon Sect, and said: "I really didn't expect to have the opportunity to witness the remains of the gate of the Demon Sect in my life."

If other practitioners can see the Demon Sect Mountain Gate that has been annihilated in time with their own eyes, and can see the unknowable places in the legend, they will definitely be very excited, and even jump into the lake frantically.

If it was another time period, Ning Que might also be so excited, but now he is calm, because no matter whether the scriptures of the heavens or the relics of the senior teacher are hidden under the lake, they have nothing to do with him for the time being. relationship.

He suddenly asked, "Is there a name for this lake? Is it mentioned in the Xiling Church records?"

Mo Shanshan asked: "Why do you care about this?"

Ning Que looked at her and said with a smile: "In the future history books will record that the thirteen disciples Ning Que, who is on the second floor of the academy, are on this lakeside, and how can this lake have no name? The nameless lake is not named. The lake is not good."

Mo Shanshan sighed, thinking how difficult and mysterious it is to break through, where can I break through? These words were too arrogant, and he said helplessly: "The Demon Sect claims to be Daming Sect, so this lake is called Daming Lake by them."
