three days later
All the selection tests have ended, the list of candidates for this time's selection has come out, and today is the day to set off.
During this period, Ningxia said goodbye to everyone in her family one by one, or went to have a meal together to reminisce about the past. She told most of her unknowing fellow apprentices that she wanted to travel far away for a while - in fact, it was indeed a far away trip, but she wanted to You may not be able to help yourself if you want to come back.
Jin Lin, He Haigong and others already knew about it, so they didn't ask her anything. They took her out to eat for several days in a row. They were filled with emotion and melancholy.
Lin Pingzhen came yesterday and forced her to give her a storage bag, saying that it was supplies prepared for her. The brother and sister didn't say much about their unknown future. He just told Ningxia not to worry about things at home, and he would help take care of them.
She had also reserved time to say goodbye to Daojun Yuanheng. Although the other party knew very well about her trip, it could even be said that they watched her choose this path, and the two of them had a lot of discussions about this trip to Middle-earth, but it was not formal. bid farewell.
Daojun Yuanheng was no more than a master to Ningxia. The two of them had become both teachers and friends over the years. The relationship between them was no longer just a master and a disciple.
Lan Lan regards Ning Xia as a mirror and places another possibility on her. Ning Xia regards Yuan Heng as her teacher and father and is somewhat of a friend. The two have gone through adversity together, and they don't mind if the other knows their hidden secrets. The relationship between them is more comfortable than the inheritance of master and apprentice, and they are a little more doctrinal than friends.
Ever since she met this elder, she had seldom been separated for a long time. The elder had been teaching her and giving her guidance over the years, which allowed her to reach this point smoothly.
Everyone and everything in the Wuhua Sect and the Formation Hall became an imprint that she would never forget. So for her, where can there be any thoughts that will never come back?
There is always only one home.
Now that she wants to leave this home temporarily and go to a distant place to experience and seek the road, it is natural for her to say goodbye to her elders.
Ningxia wanted to formally say goodbye to the other party before leaving.
But what is not a coincidence is that Daojun Yuanheng has been missing in the past few days. Even Jin Lin and Master Mingjing do not know his whereabouts.
After waiting for a few days, Ningxia had no choice but to give up and handed a letter to Daojun Yuanheng.
Unexpectedly, I saw someone at the door early the next morning.
She didn't want the scene to be too sad, so she told Jin Lin and others not to see her off, and to say farewell would be considered farewell, and there was no need to delay it awkwardly, which would make everyone feel uncomfortable. They all agreed.
So Ningxia woke up early and never thought that there would be someone waiting for her outside the yard.
"Hey, Dao Lord? You're back! I can't say goodbye to you yet..." Ning Xia couldn't help but said in surprise.
"I didn't go out." Even if he wanted to go out, he would not choose this time... Daojun Yuanheng was a little dumbfounded, but he did not continue to explain.
"So the letter you wrote was in vain." Daojun Yuanheng said in amusement as he raised the letter he had hurriedly fished out from the cave.
"...It doesn't count, you can just take a look." In fact, it is nonsense literature. When she was a child in her previous life, she had always been a little envious and curious when she saw other people writing long greeting cards to their parents. She never thought that there would be such a thing in this life. I had a chance to write once, but it was not for my parents in this life.
However, Daojun Yuanheng did sometimes treat her like a father.
"Okay." Daojun Yuanheng smiled warmly and stuffed the letter into his sleeve, then took out something from it and handed it directly to Ningxia.
Ningxia looked bitter and did not take it immediately. Why are they all given storage bags? She is not sure whether to accept them or not, and she doesn’t know what to do.
In fact, she was really just traveling far away, so why did she feel like she was taking advantage of others. Although Ningxia has the habit of collecting supplies from everywhere, it is also out of the nature of being prepared for any eventuality.
She actually has a lot of supplies she has hoarded, and she can't even use them all. Now that she had collected several storage bags in a round, she didn't even dare to open them. God knows how many things Lin Pingzhen and the others had spent so much money and effort to stuff into them.
Daojun Yuanheng even dared not accept Ningxia's offer. Of course, it was not because of the past that she knew she was not a direct descendant. She had been taught by this elder for so many years and there was no need to care about it anymore.
But her temperament is always unable to accept other people's things calmly. In this world where resources and materials are almost equivalent to cultivation, it is not easy for everyone to practice. She only wants to get the things she can get instead of taking from others.
"Okay, don't push it around. You have collected so many of them and you don't miss one of mine. There is nothing in it. I have been plundered by you for a long time, and I still have some left for you, Brother Mingjing. With Senior Brother Jin Lin, it’s just a little thing by the way.”
"Chaoyun has already refined it for you, and it's inside. Remember to use it well and don't hide it at the bottom of the box. It's really not good for you to have this problem. Good things can be taken out and used freely, otherwise others will think it's worse. You are a pauper with no money, no power, and I naturally picked you to bully you."
Of course, what he didn't tell Ning Xia was that he had sealed a few strands of his own spiritual thoughts on Chao Yun, which could withstand attacks of the same level, and he even did not hesitate to extract 20% of his spiritual power to refine Chao Yun.
This object has already exceeded the level of its earth-level spiritual treasure. If someone touches or attacks Ningxia at will, they will suffer backlash several times over. This is also the only layer of protection he can set up for Ningxia who is traveling far away.
It turns out that the other party asked her to go to Chaoyun in order to practice again... Ningxia was not pretentious and thanked her repeatedly. After hesitating for a while, she finally accepted the storage bag, and secretly thought that if she really had a chance to live in the Middle Earth, What specialties should I bring back to these dear teachers, brothers and sisters? I really owe a lot of favors.
"And there is it. You can take it with you too."
Ning Xia looked at it intently and was slightly shocked. This is not...
"The road to Middle-earth is far away, and there is no familiar relative around you. You have to walk the road by yourself, and I can't help you much. Only Ruzhang has followed you for several journeys, sharing life and death with you. Our destiny is inseparable. . I grant it to you in the hope that you can use this sword to cut off all obstacles and lead directly to the road." I also hope that it can protect you on my behalf through the thorns along the way.
"Are you going to take it?"
At this time, Ningxia no longer had much time to think. She looked at the long sword held by Taoist Master Yuan Heng, finally took a deep breath, raised her hands above her forehead to receive the sword inherited from her master, and said: "Fufeng accepts it."
"good."
Ning Xia took the completely tame Ruzhang and looked into the smiling eyes of Taoist Yuan Heng. The other party said with a smile: "You have to practice hard even when you are outside... maybe you can do it when you come back next time." I changed my name to my senior brother." I have been waiting for this day.
