Zhao Ning asked for a room above the hotel in the town, while Cui Niang sat on the stool awkwardly and anxiously.
Zhao Ning asked, "Shi Dalang is not in Jie Mansion. Do you know if there are other courtyards in Jie Mansion?"
Cui Niang nodded sharply, "Yes, yes, the Xichun Villa outside the town belongs to the Jie family. Did they take Dalang there?" She cried as she spoke, "That bastard dragged me into the mansion. I heard I called Da Lang outside, but there was no sound after a while. Is something going to happen to Da Lang?"
"Let me go and take a look." Zhao Ning ordered, "Wait here and don't move around. They have been locked in for two hours. It's night and no one will find them for a while."
Zhao Ning left the inn, and within half a stick of incense, she found Xichun Villa.
Although this Jie family said that there were immortals in their ancestors, Zhao Ning's investigation revealed no cultivators with spiritual power, not even those who could draw Qi into their bodies. That Jie Qing did have some means, but they could only be regarded as There is a world of difference between the world's top masters and cultivators.
Zhao Ning thought like this, originally thinking that the Jie family was just a family with immortal origins, but she didn't expect to notice a slight fluctuation in spiritual power as soon as she arrived at the garden of Xichun Villa.
It doesn't look like an orthodox immortal.
Zhao Ning ducked into the dark room under the rockery in the garden. The dark room was dark and made up of many stone houses. There were many mixed smells in the stone houses. Zhao Ning paused and was about to check when she heard a scream coming from the end of the dark room passage. Some even smelled a familiar medicinal smell.
Lingqiaosan? !
Zhao Ning was extremely surprised. She had never seen this thing in the world of cultivation. How could she encounter it in this world.
She flew to the end in an instant, and saw a skinny middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on a stone couch, and a young man holding a bowl and pouring Lingqiao powder into another man's mouth.
This picture is somewhat dazzling, as if the scene from the past is reappearing.
"who?!"
Zhao Ning's sudden appearance shocked the two of them.
Zhao Ning pinches the secret, "Chayue!"
The Chayue Sword came out and directly penetrated the young man who had been forced to drink Lingqiao Powder into the wall.
The skinny middle-aged man wanted to run away when he saw this, but his body was covered with blood, and his figure turned into a ghostly snow shadow and jumped to the door of the darkroom.
"Go to the sword!"
Zhao Ning let out a roar, and the Chayue Sword spun quickly, cutting off the blood shadow in an instant and slashing it to the ground.
It's strange, this person has no cultivation, how can he mobilize spiritual energy for his own use, and can also perform escape techniques.
"Cough, cough, cough..." The man who had been given Lingqiao Powder couldn't help but cough. Zhao Ning quickly injected a trace of spiritual power into his body, forcibly dispelling the medicinal properties of Lingqiao Powder.
She took out a Huiyuan Pill and gave it to the man, "Swallow it."
Huiyuan Pill is just an ordinary elixir to improve one's own recovery and treat skin and flesh wounds. However, the ingredients used for healing are all excellent ginseng and zhicao. After the man swallowed it, the wounds on his body healed quickly and visibly, and he was dispersed by Lingqiao. The disintegrated energy and spirit were also restored.
"This Lingqiao Powder has been diluted dozens of times. It didn't directly cause your seven orifices to bleed. There was still time to save you."
When the man saw this magical place, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank the gods, thank the gods!"
"Are you Shi Dalang?"
"Yeah."
"I was asked by your parents, wife and children to come to you."
"Isn't the immortal the little fairy that Cui Niang got?" Shi Dalang was overjoyed and banged his head even more loudly, "The immortal is so kind and kind, but the little one can't repay it by pretending to be a cow or a horse."
Zhao Ning didn't answer, she just picked him up and took him out of the house.
"I'll put Cui Niang in the inn. If you recover now, go find her quickly. I have other things to do, so I won't let you go."
How dare Shi Dalang stop Zhao Ning, so he quickly took out a piece of brown paper from his arms and said, "Little fairy, this is the map Cui Niang bought this afternoon. It should be what you want."
Zhao Ning took the map, and Shi Dalang hesitated for a moment, a little worried, "Little Fairy, if you leave, if the Jie family takes revenge..."
"I will make arrangements for you. You can return to the village tomorrow morning."
"Okay, okay."
After Shi Dalang left, Zhao Ning unfolded the kraft paper. The map was very simple, but all the signs were marked. The large area on the left was divided by dozens of mortal countries. Dayue Kingdom covered an especially large area, covering half of it, and Close to the right side, there is a black area connected up and down on the far right, but it is marked with the words "ancient forest", and it also says in small letters, extremely dangerous, forbidden area for mortals.
Zhao Ning found the location of Donglin Village on the map. It was indeed in the far east corner of Dayue Kingdom, less than a hundred miles away from the "ancient forest".
Using the cloud forest map as a comparison, once the two are connected, the general location of the Yueming Land is known. It is six hundred miles east of the north of Donglin Village and at the edge of the Lingwu Forest, which is the narrowest place in the Lingwu Forest.
This place of Yue Ming needs to be searched, but there is one more thing that needs to be found out now. Why does the Jie family have Lingqiao Powder? This is the same as the way of testing medicine in the past. Is it because the Jie family accidentally obtained the prescription, or there is another reason.
Zhao Ning entered the darkroom again and found no clues among the two corpses. She paused at the door of the darkroom and raised her head to feel the mixed atmosphere in the stone houses on both sides, which was filled with fear and a few sobs.
She broke open the stone door.
"ah--"
The sound revealed the tragic situation in the stone chamber faster, it was the wails of several women.
There were actually a dozen women in ragged clothes huddled in the stone room. Their hair was disheveled, their bodies were covered with bruises, and their eyes were full of fear.
Perhaps what he saw was a girl. The woman's fear diminished a little and she asked tentatively.
"Little girl, you, were you arrested too?"
"Run away, run away, Jie Jia is a devil, run away." But before even asking a question, someone else howled in pain.
Zhao Ning had never seen such a disaster even though she had been wandering for many years. She took out some clothes from the House of Silent Spirits and handed them to them. She comforted them softly, "Don't be afraid. It's okay. I have killed the devil in the Jie family."
The women's eyes widened, "You...are you a god?"
Zhao Ning nodded, and the group of women cried even harder. They were fed up with being humiliated without covering their bodies, so they quickly took the clothes and wrapped them around themselves.
"You...you really killed them. Those beasts know magic skills and are very powerful!" the woman at the beginning asked carefully.
"Of course, their bodies are still out there."
Maybe these words hit the women, and some of them rushed out. When they saw the corpse, they kicked it without hesitation. When they were tired from kicking, they started crying again.
The woman who spoke first choked with sobs, "This guy always used some kind of medicine to vent his anger on us. Several sisters bled to death on the spot."
This is where women are used as a cauldron for dispersing kung fu. The unbearable power in the body is directly discharged through the intercourse of yin and yang.
"Then do you know how he practiced his magic skills?"
"I don't know." The woman shook her head, "He always says that our ancestors don't protect us, or that our ancestors don't protect us."
If he asked any more questions, he would make the women sad. Zhao Ning stopped talking and gave the women the silver he had accumulated in the ordinary world. "You can take the silver and go home and start over again, or you can make a living by yourself." ." He also gave several books on martial arts and light skills suitable for women, and said, "Protect yourself."
The women thanked Zhao Ning with tears, not wanting to stay in the other courtyard any longer, and hurriedly left together under the cover of night.
Zhao Ningsi and the woman's last statement came to the ancestral hall of the other courtyard with a thorough investigation.
As soon as the door was pushed open, the wind blew the rows of candles on both sides of the ancestral hall swaying.
Under the flickering candlelight, Zhao Ning was caught off guard and saw the memorial tablet at the highest point of the offering table.
"The spiritual position of Tai Ke, the ancestor of the Immortal Jie family."
Chapter 055
Zhao Ning was extremely shocked and could not connect the Jie family with Tai Ke's ancestors.
The ancestors of Tai Ke traveled all over Jiuzhou, traveled thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and practiced hard for hundreds of years to find traces of the immortals in order to pursue the inner path. How could future generations not get a single penny from such painstaking efforts and adherence to their true intentions? inherited to.
A small amount of anger arose in Zhao Ning's heart.
The ancestors of Tai Ke left the family and were left alone. In order to preserve the family bloodline, it is understandable that they left behind children while searching for the path.
Over the millennium, the family has multiplied and developed, and today it is one of the largest families in Qiushui Town. This should be a joyful thing, but we don't want the descendants to have bad character, be addicted to drugs, and use people to test medicine, regardless of humanity and human life.
Zhao Ning walked into the ancestral hall step by step. She saw the elevated tablet and several tablets surrounding him below the tablet. They were all descendants of the Jie family, but they were no longer named with the honorific title of immortal.
There is a wooden box on the altar table, and there is a jade slip in the box. Unfold the jade slip, and it turns out that it is the secret treasure left by Tai Ke's ancestors. The three-layer rejuvenation technique and the secret recipe of Lingqiao Powder that were included in the Kyushu Travels. .
She did not deserve it for Tai Ke's ancestors. Tai Ke's ancestors put their lives in the box to encourage future generations, but they did not want his descendants to be blinded by the mortal world and their natures polluted by the filth of the world for thousands of years. .
In addition, there is a secret technique in the box called Five Elements Movement Escape Technique.
This escape technique consumes a lot of spiritual energy. By using the five elements transport technique, it can instantly cover a distance of tens of miles. If there is a breath connection, it can even escape for hundreds of miles.
Although it is not as good as the ancient Yun Fu Qianli Wind Escape Technique, it is still a rare escape secret technique.
Zhao Ning watched carefully, and suddenly, a short arrow shot from the shadow. Zhao Ning calmly tilted his head, and the short arrow stopped three feet in front of his eyes, and then shattered.
Little did he know that this short arrow was just the beginning.
Iron sheets suddenly fell around the ancestral hall, wrapping the entire ancestral hall like an iron cage. There were dense holes in the iron sheets on all sides. In an instant, dozens of arrows shot out of the holes.
This is a mechanism that senses the surroundings for several feet, but does not detect any fluctuations in spiritual power.
Zhao Ning properly placed the treasures left by Tai Ke's ancestors, and said the secrets calmly. The strong wind blew up and rolled up the candles on the wooden stands on both sides. The candles spun and flew into the air, and the candle flames dimly extinguished, blocking all the arrows in mid-air. .
The arrow was inserted into the candle, and the candle fell smoothly back to the stand. The strong wind dissipated, the sparks shook, and the candle ignited faintly again.
Zhao Ning had a thought in her mind and turned her head sharply, only to see a red light flashing in the shadow behind Tai Ke's ancestor's tablet, and there was actually some spiritual energy. A moment later, a bloody talisman came towards him.
Looking at the memorial tablet of Tai Ke's ancestor, Zhao Ning did not make any secrets to cast a spell to resist. He raised his arm to the side, and the secret technique of Taixu's six spiritual sources was running. The cyan aura fainted in front of him, collided with the blood talisman and dissipated instantly.
Zhao Ning stared at the shadow behind the memorial tablet, and finally caught the source of the sudden change in the ancestral hall.
The sleeves were waved, and a vine was thrown out, tying up the person hiding in the dark.
It was a stooped old man, with wrinkles on his face that made it almost impossible to see his facial features. He was trembling and seemed about to faint.
"Don't, don't kill me, I have something to say." The old man shouted hurriedly, and his words seemed very energetic. He fell to the ground and ouched twice, then immediately got up and kept kowtowing to Zhao Ning.
"Why did you attack me in secret?"
Zhao Ning heard his tone as if it was a mistake.
"Don't blame the immortal." The old man raised his head and said, "I am the guardian of the ancestral hall, my name is Jie Shi. I thought the immortal was someone who broke into the ancestral hall and stole, so I attacked him. Don't blame the old man. The old man has eyesight and cannot recognize Taishan. , I didn’t know you were destined.”
"Destined person?"
"My ancestors followed Immortal Taike and kept watch over Immortal Taike for generations. The old man's generation is already the tenth. When the immortal fled to the mountains and forests, he told his ancestors that he must wait here for the destined person. This destined person can be someone with an immortal connection in the clan. Yes, it can also be someone outside the clan who has obtained the Rejuvenation Technique and practiced it on their own."
The tenth generation are waiting here, which is extremely rare.
"How did you know that what I practiced was the Rejuvenation Technique?" Zhao Ning remained calm.
Jie Shi was stunned for a moment, "Wasn't the aura of your immortal magic just caused by the Rejuvenation Technique?"
Zhao Ning stared at Jie Shi silently, and the little old man shrank back in fear.
