Gu Xiao chatted with Jiang Ningxue for a few words, agreed to set off tomorrow, and then returned to the guest room arranged by Sicheng to rest. Although he had not slept for a day and was already exhausted, the disappearance of everyone still lingered in his mind.
Thinking of Uncle Li, on Wugui Mountain, the master would always punish me for being lazy and not allowed to eat. Every time, Uncle Li would secretly run over and bring hot meals, and watch him leave with a satisfied expression after finishing the meal.
I think of Lin'er again, the first time they met at the foot shop outside Liangzhou City, the mutual support when Liuzhuang escaped, the mutual heart-to-heart talks in Fengxue Temple, the help in finding Uncle Li's whereabouts in Liangzhou City, and the determination to stop Wan Jun from intercepting and killing him. Support, Lin'er's pair of smart apricot eyes seemed to appear in front of her again.
Thinking again of Brother Tianya, with the determination of Mohist to die for the common people, he brought a group of Momen disciples to Lingzhou without hesitation, and dealt with the group of dead soldiers of Chi Qianren. The feelings deep in my heart include Uncle Kui, Aunt Kui, and the blacksmith.
The faces of these friends appeared in front of Gu Xiao's eyes one by one.
Gu Xiao shook his head vigorously. His sleepiness was gone. He stood up suddenly, opened the door and looked out. It was a bright moon in the sky and it was a cold winter. Gu Xiao carefully recalled the clues he got today in his mind.
The strange scarlet light, even Lin'er's Yuanyang Pendant was invaded by this red light. Where did this scarlet light come from, and what is the explanation for the strange zhenqi that entered his body from the Yuanyang Pendant.
Everyone is missing, and the clues currently in hand point to Murong Fengling's Feng Lingdang and Murong Valley, but what he knows is only the desolate valley in Yanbei that Brother Tianya mentioned to him in Yuelai Tower.
There is also the Lingyun Sword Sect that Master Wan mentioned. As the leader of the sword sect in the world, it is located in the southern border of Qiyun. Why did Miss Jiang and others appear in the northern border? When Master Wan revealed their identity, Jiang Ningxue Why is she looking so nervous? What is she hiding?
Gu Xiao thought of his master. It seemed that it was impossible for him to spend the New Year with his master on the mountain during the Yuan Day Festival. He thought of the Yingli post that his master had ordered to enter Wangli Villa. Since it was all related to Murong Valley, no matter what We also need to find Murong Valley to investigate.
"Mu Shaoxia." A cold voice interrupted Gu Xiao's thoughts.
Following the sound, she saw Jiang Ningxue standing outside the courtyard carrying her Jinghong, calling softly to herself. Although she had taken off her curtain, Jiang Ningxue still covered her face with white gauze, looking from a distance. The figure is graceful and the skin is as beautiful as snow, as elegant and elegant as the snow in the courtyard.
"Miss Jiang, have you remembered any important clues?" Gu Xiao recalled that just now when Si Cheng led the guards to lead the way, Jiang Ningxue seemed to be hesitant to speak. Now that she is looking for her, could she have thought of some clues? , asked immediately.
"Murong Valley is not an easy place to break into." Jiang Ningxue said coldly, making Gu Xiao's eyes light up.
"Miss Jiang, do you know where Murong Gu is?" Gu Xiao asked quickly, thinking that if someone could lead the way, a lot of time would be saved.
"I don't know." Jiang Ningxue still answered coldly.
Gu Xiao almost stumbled and thought to himself, you don't know where you are, and you came to my courtyard in the middle of the night just to tell me that Murong Valley is not easy to break into?
Jiang Ningxue glanced at Gu Xiao coldly, and took in the young man's expression. She also saw through the young man's thoughts, and was not angry. She said: "Everyone in the world has been introduced to Murong Valley, and they can never come out again." , so we have the saying 'I would rather follow the path of the King of Hell than enter the Murong Valley', but who spread this sentence?"
Yes, Jiang Ningxue's words seemed to wake up the dreamer. Since this sentence was circulated in the world, it was natural that someone had spread it. Gu Xiaoxing's eyes flashed and he asked Jiang Ningxue: "Miss Jiang It means that someone once escaped from Murong Valley."
Jiang Ningxue's cold eyes revealed a look of affirmation, and she said: "On the Ling Jue List, all masters from China are listed. Feng Lingdang, Murong Fengling, the master of Murong Valley, is ranked tenth. If he has never been to Murong Valley, he is How can we be sure that Murong Fengling can be ranked in the top ten of the Lingjue Ranking?"
"Yes, the person who recorded this Ling Jue list must have been to Murong Valley. Miss Jiang served Bingxue Smart." Gu Xiao slapped his head, why didn't he think of this roundabout way, and stupidly wanted to go to Yanbei City Searching, the ten counties of Yanbei are so vast, even if I and Jiang Ningxue searched for ten or eight years, they might not be able to find it. If we could find the person who recorded the Lingjue list, we would naturally know the whereabouts of Murong Gu.
"Since the girl has thought of this method, where is the person who recorded the Ling Jue List?" Gu Xiao asked expectantly.
Jiang Ningxue looked at Gu Xiao with cold eyes, slightly surprised, and then said coldly: "I don't know."
Gu Xiao felt a twitching at the corner of his mouth, and then said helplessly: "Miss Jiang, since the whereabouts of the person who recorded the Ling Jue List are unknown, we might as well go to Yanbei first. There may be a way to find out where Murong Gu is."
Jiang Ningxue, perhaps feeling Gu Xiao's helplessness, said: "No one knows the last name of the person who recorded the Lingjue list, but he claims to be the immortal official Chongyang who records everything in the world. If he makes his own 'Double Ninth Pen', as long as a master is born in the world, he will definitely find this master and record his life events in the Divine Ranking List."
Gu Xiao instantly understood Jiang Ningxue's intention and said, "What Miss Jiang means is that as long as you can break into the Shenzhou Lingjue Ranking, the Chongyang Pen will show up." Then he continued with doubts: "But I still have If you have any questions, please ask Miss Jiang to clarify."
Seeing that Jiang Ningxue did not speak, Gu Xiao asked again: "The first is how can we break into the Lingjue list? The second is that since the Chongyang Pen has escaped from Murong Valley, it is not afraid of being exposed. Murong Valley Are people coming to seek revenge?"
Jiang Ningxue shook her head slightly and said: "I don't know why Chongyang Bi is not afraid of Murong Gu's people coming to look for him again, but I know how to get into the Ling Jue list."
Seeing Gu Xiao deep in thought, Jiang Ningxue continued: "In recent years, the He family has grown up in Zangbeicheng. Every Yuan's Day is the birthday of the ancestor of the He family. Since five years ago, the He family has held a big banquet. Invite heroes from all over the world.”
"I also heard about this when I traveled to Zangbeicheng again, but what does this have to do with the Double Ninth Festival pen?"
Jiang Ningxue seemed surprised that this young man was very skilled in martial arts, but he knew very little about Jianghu affairs, and continued: "No one knows how the He family accumulated millions of wealth, but with this wealth, the He family recruited Many martial arts heroes have sacrificed their lives for the He family. Therefore, various martial arts sects also give some face to the He family and send people to celebrate their birthdays every year. The ancestors of the He family came here to recruit more masters and also to add some excitement to their birthdays. The atmosphere is that just before this birthday, we have set up an arena. As long as we can reach the top three and successfully challenge the He family to worship, Mr. Chongyang, who is friends with the He family, will enter these top three people into the top list of China."
"Many young knights and masters from all over the world come to celebrate their birthdays in order to be listed on the Ling Jue Ranking. Therefore, the arena where the ancestor of the He family is placed is also jokingly called the invitation to enter the Ling Jue Ranking by people in the martial arts world. "After saying this, Jiang Ningxue stopped talking.
Hearing this, Gu Xiao finally understood what Jiang Ningxue meant. As long as he could reach the top three in the arena and defeat the He family, Chongyang Bi would come forward and come to compose the list for these top three masters. Gu Xiao Nodding slightly, he said with a serious face: "I understand, but the Shenzhou Lingjue list can only accommodate a hundred people. If, according to Miss Jiang, there are three people every year, wouldn't it be already on this list? Over a hundred.”
When Jiang Ningxue heard what the young man said, she was almost amused by his strange brain circuit. If other people heard about this, they would only be thinking about how to get into the Ling Jue Ranking, but this young man was thinking about this. Tricky.
After calming down the mood of wanting to laugh, Jiang Ningxue said: "That's because the He family worshipers are the three at the bottom of the Lingjue list, and these three people are also the last ones to defend the Lingjue list. Lingjue list The rankings on the list naturally alternate between the old and the new. The He family is very wealthy. Even if the top three people in the previous year were replaced by new people, the He family did not drive them away, but continued to provide living expenses as usual. This attracted many homeless people. Jianghu people and young knights who want to become famous overnight are happy to go."
Jiang Ningxue looked at Gu Xiao with cold eyes, and then said: "The current plan is for us to rush around like headless flies to find Murong Valley. Why not try the He family's arena? With your skills, As long as we can break into the top three, we can find the Chongyang Pen and find a way to enter Murong Valley."
Gu Xiao thought about it and felt that this was the best way at the moment. However, Master Wan also asked him to assist Yang Huchen in guarding the defense plans of the ten counties in Yanbei City when he went to Yanbei City again. I wonder if there is any conflict between these two things. .
Thinking of this, Gu Xiao said: "Miss Jiang, please go back to your room to rest for the time being. The gentleman also entrusted me with some matters. Since we are going to Zang Beicheng, I have to inform the gentleman about the situation first and ask the girl to wait a moment." moment."
Jiang Ningxue listened to Gu Xiao's words and went back to her room to wait for news about Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao called the Si Wei to lead the way, then found Wan Jun, and informed Wan Jun that he was going to Zangbei first. He was originally worried that Lord Wan would blame him for going back on his word, but he originally agreed to go to Yanbei City and guard the defense plan. , and within a short time he changed his mind to go to Zangbei.
Unexpectedly, Wan Jun just laughed and said that whether he goes to Zangbei or Yanbei, he will follow Gu Xiao. He only needs to remember his agreement with Gu Xiao. When Zangbei is finished and goes to Yanbei, remember Just leave it to yourself.
Gu Xiao originally expected to be scolded by the general, but he didn't expect that he didn't care at all. Not only did he not look angry at all, but he told himself that he had just given orders to prepare horses for Gu and Xiao. Dry food, and even travel expenses, even Gu Xiao himself doubted whether, as Lin'er said, the Northern Commander was as good as Longyang, like those high officials in the imperial court.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiao suddenly felt numb all over and had goosebumps all over his body. He quickly escaped from Wanjun's room and came to Jiang Ningxue's residence to inform her of the news about going to Zangbei tomorrow.
After all this tossing, Gu Xiao also felt extremely tired. When he returned to his room, he couldn't resist the sleepiness, so he fell down and fell asleep.
In the dream, it seemed that he had returned to his room on Wugui Mountain. The master was still drinking his favorite spring wine. Uncle Li was grilling meat in the forest, and the fragrance kept entering his nose.
Lin'er in the dream was holding Ta Xue in her arms, standing outside the thatched cottage and waving to her, and behind her stood Brother Tianya, Sister Me, Uncle Kui and Aunt Kui, the blacksmith and others. With smiles on their faces, everyone turned and walked into the forest to taste the barbecue at Uncle Li's place.
Gu Xiao hurriedly stood up and left, only to see a scarlet mist seeming to rise in front of everyone. No matter how he chased after him, there was always a thin layer of red mist between him and everyone...
