"Perhaps, I haven't seen the second half of the Rejuvenation Art yet." Zhao Ning was relieved.
"This Rejuvenation Technique should be a fragment of the secret transmission of the Six Paths of Taixu."
Her fingertips brushed across the large swaths of blank space, just wait for her to fill it up.
Chapter 019
one year later.
This night the moon is bright and silvery, and the mountains, forests and vegetation are covered with a faint glow.
There is a girl in the forest who is whipping back and forth with a whip. Her body is agile and her whip technique is natural. She goes out like a snake exploring its path, and back up like a young cat to tame her. With every move, the winding is clear and the hardness and softness are distinct.
A bamboo moon-green dress flutters lightly, her skin is cold white and shimmering under the moonlight, her brows are quiet, her facial features are delicate, and her body is slender. It is probably because of her body being stretched out, and the rejuvenation formula is nourished from the inside out. At this time Zhao Ning is no longer as haggard and thin as before.
The Spiritual Snake Whip Technique has reached the Mahayana level. The strokes are soft but cruel, and when they land on the skin, the Spiritual Snake bites and the pain is deep into the bones.
It's a pity that the whip used by Zhao Ning is just made by himself from ordinary Jinping rattan. It is not as powerful as the long whip made of good materials in Jianghu.
His right ear moved slightly, his eyes raised slightly, and he caught a glimpse of a chirping tit on the tree. The Jinping whip came out of its hole like a snake, and the tail of the whip wrapped around the tit.
Zhao Ning held the tit, and the Jinping whip was wrapped around her wrist obediently, "Today's dinner is ready."
Zhao Ning built a fire, cleaned the tits by the river, grilled the tit meat until it was brown, and when he turned his hand, a small jar appeared. This small jar was taken out from the warehouse of the House of Silent Spirits. After practicing this year, Zhao Ning found that the aura coming out of the Rejuvenation Technique fell into his hands. With a slight movement of his mind, the things he wanted to take from the warehouse appeared in his hands. , extremely convenient.
The small jar contains ordinary seasonings, which are most delicious when used for barbecue.
In addition to practicing this year, Zhao Ning also went down the mountain once. He walked to the county town to inquire about the news. The Qingyun Gang's extermination of the gang gradually subsided. On the surface, there were no longer people searching everywhere, but there were layers of people at the city gate. On the notice posted on it, Zhao Ning occasionally saw her young face portrait posted on it. She lowered her curtain and hat. Over time, the wanted notice had become tattered and was placed under other notices. No one cared about it. At the gate of the county town. There are no more interrogators.
However, Zhao Ning was cautious and bought some daily necessities in the county town before hiding in the mountains and forests.
After having a full stomach, he simply washed up and Zhao Ning returned to the tree house to sit cross-legged.
The skills wandered around, and Zhao Ning sank into the House of Silent Spirits. He meditated and practiced on the high couch in the main hall. The hall was quiet and silent. There was no external interference except his own thoughts. It was easy to concentrate and calm down. The cultivation was a little faster than the outside world.
With the five hearts facing the sky, the breath starts from the spiritual orifice, passes through the five sharp ear points, and then goes to nineteen sharp eye points including Qingming, Chengqi, Shangming, Chengguang, and Tianyou.
A few days ago, Zhao Ning had already channeled the energy of the exercise technique into the Li Eye Acupoint. Just like the Li Ear Acupoint a year ago, his vision was instantly widened and clear. Shadows could be faintly seen through the obstruction in half a mile. Although it was through the The slightest impression caught in the gap did not reach the level of seeing through things. This kind of vision is already very human. More importantly, Zhao Ning found that when Shen Xin looked carefully, the movements of ordinary living creatures were much slower in her eyes. It seems to be able to capture some of its movements.
No wonder people in the world have spread that the Secret of Rejuvenation not only provides immortality, but also makes people invincible. With ordinary skills under these eyes, it is easy to find flaws.
After ninety-nine and eighty-one days, Zhao Ning opened her eyes. She looked through the fragments of the Jue of Rejuvenation, or the Taixu Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra. She had passed the stage of practicing Qi and accumulating souls, and only one exercise chart was left. Vice action chart.
After counting the time, Zhao Ning put down the book.
"It's time to find the land of Yue Ming."
"There are mountains beyond the mountains, and there are immortals flying in the sky. I don't know who this immortal is."
Chapter 020
A few days later.
Zhao Ning put the luggage into the House of Silent Spirits, and took two more pieces of clothing and simply wrapped them into a baggage. The land of Yue Ming was long, and it was not known how long the journey would take. The secrets of the House of Silent Spirits must not be noticed by others, so the baggage can be regarded as Covering up things and traveling far away.
That evening, Zhao Ning packed up everything and went down the mountain.
But just halfway up the mountain, I suddenly felt something was wrong. The Qiya Village at the foot of the mountain was in flames. The raging fire had already surrounded half of the village.
Although Zhao Ning did not live in the village, he had become familiar with the Orion woodcutter in the village for more than a year, so he quickly accelerated his pace and hurried down the mountain.
"Don't kill me...ah!"
Some villagers in the village fell to the ground miserably. In front of the trembling villagers, there was a fierce man sitting on a horse with a look of disdain and contempt. Behind him were a dozen people, who looked like they were dressed like It's a bandit.
"Don't kill people, don't kill people!!" The old village chief of Qiya Village, who was leaning on crutches and still needing support from others, was so frightened by the murderous scene that he almost fell to the ground, "Our village relies on mountains to eat. There has never been any big shot in my life, how could someone sneak into your stronghold and steal the most precious treasure in your house."
His voice was filled with tears. How could such a beautiful village be destroyed? There were still a few villagers lying on the ground who had resisted at first and were now dying.
The people who supported the village chief were very angry.
"Everyone knows that you have three hundred bandits in Feiyazhai. How can we ordinary people come and go freely? What kind of treasures have you stolen? I don't think you can find a master to take revenge on us!"
I don’t know if this sentence is to the point. The man on the horse’s face suddenly twisted. He raised his riding crop and swung it over, “Stop talking nonsense, that man was seriously injured by our boss and fled all the way here!”
He threw a wooden sign with yellow sand engraved on the front and Jia Rui on the back.
"This is the identity card of that little thief." Xu Shi was afraid of the Huangsha Gang, so he actually gave the villagers a choice, "Either hand over my Feiyazhai treasure, or hand over the child Jia Rui!"
His skin was bleeding from the beating and he was already dizzy. "We don't know what kind of treasure or what kind of fake weapon. Let me tell you, we have already sent someone to notify the government officials and put you all in jail."
"Then look at it, it was us who slaughtered your village faster, or the government officials who came faster!" The bandit chuckled, and caught a glimpse of a hunter shrinking behind the crowd, as if hiding something, the most important thing is the surroundings Several villagers looked at him angrily, as if to say, "It turns out it's your family that is responsible!"
The robber immediately dragged the person out and said, "You are Jia Rui!"
"No, no, I don't know." The hunter who was caught spoke incoherently, "There is no Jia Rui in my family. My surname is just Jia. Our whole village is surnamed Jia. My name is Jia Da, and I have two sons, Tiezhu and Tiedan. There is no Jia Rui, there really is none."
The bandit grinned and said, "You're fooling me, right?"
He raised his riding whip high and said, "Then let's see if it's your mouth that's tougher or my whip that's tougher."
Snap - unexpectedly, the riding whip did not hit Orion, but was picked up by a Jinping whip. The next moment, the riding whip flew away from his hands.
"Who!" The bandit leader was shocked.
But he saw a girl wearing a gray-green plain pleated skirt approaching, holding a long whip and having clear brows.
"I have never seen bandits so arrogant that they come to rob homes in broad daylight!"
"Where did you come from, a little beauty who wants to be a hero to these turtle villagers? Hahahahaha." The bandit leader laughed and stared straight at Zhao Ning with a very vulgar look in his eyes. "Although you can't be a hero, you can be a hero." How about our little daughter-in-law from Feiyazhai, hahahaha..."
Several villagers recognized the person, and Orion hunter Jia Da, who was kneeling on the ground, shouted, "Girl Lin Ying, go quickly, go quickly, this has nothing to do with you!"
Zhao Ning didn't move, she stared at the approaching bandits with a cold expression, "Then let's see if you have this ability!"
As he said that, the Jinping whip danced like a long snake and was as powerful as a tiger. With a few swipes, the bandit leader was entangled and unable to struggle, and the next moment he fell hard to the ground.
The bandit leader fell to pieces, and the other bandits felt their scalps numb. It was so fast, so fast that all the ways of evasion were blocked. When did such a master appear in Shuangya Mountain?
"Quick! Catch this girl!" The bandit leader didn't care. He lay on the ground and pointed angrily.
The robbers exchanged glances and stepped forward with their knives in hand. What about the masters, who could handle more than a dozen knives with ease?
But when they got there, they discovered that there really was someone who could do it with ease. He had dexterous body movements, a posture like the wind, and the Seven Dengyun Qinggong moves faster than the last. He had the kind of ability to pass through thousands of swords, even the fluttering corners of his clothes. Not even touched by the blade.
Zhao Ning left the encirclement and used the Spiritual Snake Whip technique to move around him. The moment he crossed paths with the sword, he wrapped around the sword and escaped from the opponent's hand.
Bang, bang, bang, dozens of swords fell to the ground, making a crisp clashing sound. All the bandits froze with their bare hands. Zhao Ning held up the whip and asked again, "Do you have the ability to be a hero now?"
The bandit leader's dazed head finally came to his senses. He quickly got up, pointed at Zhao Ning and backed away in fear, "You...you guys...wait! Let's go! Let's go quickly?"
As he said that, he took all the bandits and ran away in a hurry. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the village gate, they met a large number of government officials rushing in. The bandits quickly changed directions and fled. The government officials knew what was going on as soon as they saw it, and drew their swords. He chased after him, "Brothers, don't let these bandits go!"
The two teams left in a mighty manner, and the villagers in the village were relieved. However, when they saw the black smoke billowing from the house that had just been put out, and the one who burned their own house, they knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
The village chief moved to Zhao Ning with sorrow and sigh.
"Little heroine, thank you for saving more than a hundred people in our Qiya Village." He was about to bow down. Zhao Ning quickly supported the village chief's arm, "Village Chief, there is no need to thank me. I have received help from the villagers before. If there is something in the village, I should help."
"Okay... okay..." The village chief clapped Zhao Ning's hand and stared at Zhao Ning with his cloudy eyes, "You are the girl that Jia Da and others said lived in the mountains and forests. A good child."
Orion Jia Da also stood up from the ground unsteadily, "Girl Lin Ying, thank you. Otherwise our village and... would be over."
He forcibly swallowed back a few words, but those houses were destroyed and his family members were injured so much that they would not let him go. He got up and rushed to Jia Lihu, shaking his head and asking, "They are looking for Jia Rui, is it your second son?" Tiezhu! He almost cost our whole village their lives."
"This has nothing to do with the second child in my family!" Jia Daqi refuted anxiously, "Even if my Jia family is in decline and has never produced a scholar in eight lifetimes, I will never be a thief, let alone steal his Feiyazhai treasure. !”
"My second son is from the Huangsha Gang. They must have had a grudge against the Huangsha Gang, so they angered my second son!"
"What Huangsha Gang? He was driven away by the Huangsha Gang last month. You didn't know!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
The two were arguing and almost started to fight.
Zhao Ning didn't expect that Feiyazhai was gone and there was still internal strife in the village. She said to the village chief, "I wanted to go out for a long trip and happened to bump into him when I went down the mountain. Since the matter is over, I said goodbye to the village chief."
"Leaving now?" The village chief looked at the sky. "It's getting dark. It's not safe for a girl like you to be out there. You should stay in the village for one night before leaving."
"No need." Zhao Ning shook his head, rolled up the Jinping whip and turned around to leave.
Jia Da, who was still arguing with others, suddenly noticed that the quarrel had stopped. He quickly grabbed Zhao Ning and said, "Girl Zhao Ning, you saved my life again. I must thank you."
"No need." Zhao Ning smiled and shook her head, but she didn't want Jia Da to pull her too hard, "I want it, I want it, I have to."
After saying this, he greeted his wife, Feng Feng Huohuo, took out a small box from his house and gave it to Zhao Ning, "I picked this on the mountain, keep it safe."
There is half a hundred-year-old ginseng on the box, which is extremely precious for ordinary village names. However, Zhao Ning has planted many in the garden of Ji Ling Mansion over the past year. To Zhao Ning, it is already ordinary. Zhao Ning naturally refuses to harvest it, but The other party's attitude was extremely strong.
Zhao Ning paused, looking at Jia Da who was hiding his panic and whose hands could not help shaking. Then he saw his wife's eyes evading and her hands folded back and forth awkwardly. Zhao Ning caught a glimpse of the blood on her sleeves and suddenly realized something. .
She smiled and took the box, "That would be disrespectful."
The two people were obviously relieved, and Zhao Ning bowed her hands towards the village chief and the two of them.
"It's a long way to go, and we may never see each other again. Thank you to the village for taking care of me. Lin Ying then left."
Chapter 021
Zhao Ning didn't go far.
She was sitting on a tree hundreds of feet away from Qiya Village, playing with the box given by Jia Da in her hand.
The box was only three inches square and ordinary in style. It was a bit crowded with half a ginseng plant in it.
When Jia Da handed her the box, he and his wife had a very strange attitude. It was not a complete gift, as if they were afraid of something.
Zhao Ning took out half a ginseng plant, which was just an ordinary wild ginseng. She threw it into Ji Ling Mansion and looked at the small box. What Jia Da and his wife were afraid of was clearly what was in the box. The surface of the box was flat, with only one stuck place. The buckle is used to open the lid of the box, but there is no mechanism other than that. When the lid is opened, the depth of the box is about two inches, and the lid is less than an inch. She thought about it and pressed the bottom of the box lightly. The sound was a bit hollow.
The agency is here.
I broke off a piece of tree and gently picked up the bottom of the box. With a click, the bottom plate was opened, revealing another object, which was a piece of finger, a human index finger.
This finger looked like it had been cut off freshly. It was still covered in blood. The flesh and blood at the cutoff point were blurred, and the phalanges could be faintly seen.
