As he spoke, a silver flying sword fell beside him.
Although I have seen Qin Keyuan's long sword many times, this is the first time I have seen it so close. What is strange is that this long sword has no edge or edge. In addition, even the forbidden dark pattern is not obvious. At a glance It seemed to be a semi-finished product, but the sharp spiritual light shone around the long sword, and the killing feeling instantly made people dare not underestimate it.
"Come up."
Qin Keyuan stepped onto the flying sword and called Zhao Ning with his head tilted. Zhao Ning responded and stood carefully on the flying sword.
The flying sword flew away in the air, Ji Xiu blinked, and suddenly felt something was wrong, "Wait a minute, why did senior brother take the little fairy away and leave me here alone?"
He took out his flying sword and wanted to catch up. He rushed up to the sky and then rushed down again. He quickly carried Ye Ziying, who was unconscious on the ground, on his shoulders. "I almost forgot my senior brother's order!"
This was Zhao Ning's first time flying high into the sky. The wind-controlling flight in the Qi-training realm could only be a few feet above the ground, unlike the sword-controlling monks in the Foundation-building realm who could fly hundreds of miles in the air.
The clouds here are misty and the wind is cold. When you look up, you can see the huge moon, as if you can reach out and pick it.
Qin Keyuan was holding his sword in front of him. He was tall and straight, with a wide back and a narrow waist, easily blocking all the oncoming wind.
She lowered her head and watched the spirit mist forest retreat rapidly under the clouds. Looking down from high in the sky, the spirit mist forest really looked like what was drawn on the map. She could even compare the spatial cracks in the spirit mist forest to the same thing. The points on the map correspond one to one.
Xu Zhaoning stared down for a long time, and the speed of the flying sword slowed down a bit.
Zhao Ning asked, "Senior, why is this spirit mist forest so weird? Zhao Ning has read many records in Kunxu Cultivation World, but has only seen this forest that is filled with white mist and has space cracks. I saw the space cracks. Gangfeng kills people invisible, but I feel that this is not something that monks in the Qi training realm can touch."
But it is true that the majority of the people in the Spirit Mist Forest are Qi-training monks or casual cultivators. People say that those space cracks can be entered if you have the Foundation Establishment Realm or the Wind-fixing Bead. But after staying in the Spirit Mist Forest for more than a month, Zhao Ning rarely sees any Foundation Establishment Realm monks exploring the cracks in space. Is it because her cultivation level is low and she stays outside the Spirit Mist Forest or because few people come here.
"What do you think those space cracks are?" Qin Keyuan asked without answering.
Zhao Ning said, "I heard that it was caused by the collapse of a large secret space. It is said that the white mist is the spiritual energy flowing out of the secret space. Is there another hidden reason behind this statement?"
Qin Keyuan only said, "This secret realm has not collapsed, but the secret realm itself is a huge space maze. The space crack is just the entrance. If you enter rashly, you will not know what year and month it is when you come out."
Zhao Ning was amazed, but she also knew that such secret realms were not something she could explore in her current state.
The long sword cut across the night sky, passing a shadow under the bright moon.
The long sword landed in front of the Qijiu Cave Mansion in Qingzhu Peak. He moved the sword and was about to say thank you to Qin Keyuan when he saw Qin Keyuan's figure shake.
"Senior Qin." Zhao Ning quickly stepped forward to support him.
Being so close made Zhao Ning even more slender. His height only reached Qin Keyuan's chin. Such pressure almost overwhelmed Zhao Ning. Zhao Ning subconsciously stretched out her hand and pressed it on his chest, injecting spiritual power into Qin Keyuan's body. The surface layer stagnated for a breath, and then he penetrated his eight extraordinary meridians without any obstruction. The spiritual power in the veins was empty, and the few remaining spiritual powers were extremely chaotic. Zhao Ning didn't know how Qin Keyuan managed to fly to Qingzhu Peak.
He only regrets that his cultivation level is low and his spiritual power is weak. Even if the spiritual power cultivated in the secret cultivation of Taixu Six Paths Spiritual Source has the ability to repair, it is only a drop in the bucket for Qin Keyuan.
"Senior, let me help you go in and adjust your breathing."
Qin Keyuan supported Zhao Ning's shoulders, and the remaining chaotic spiritual power was soothed by Zhao Ning. The spiritual power started to circulate again. He closed his eyes slightly and then recovered.
Two hours later, Qin Keyuan finished adjusting his breath while sitting on the stone bed, while Zhao Ning was sitting under the bed, meditating with her eyes closed.
Hearing slight movement, she opened her eyes and saw Qin Keyuan lowering his eyes to look at her. He was extremely surprised and said, "Senior, you have adjusted your breathing."
She stood up, poured a cup of tea from the stone table, and handed it to Qin Keyuan, "Senior, drink tea."
Zhao Ning had not lived in this cave for a few days, and all the things were taken out from the Silent Spirit Mansion.
Qin Keyuan took a small sip. The aroma of the tea was just like the one he drank at Qingfengguan. He drank it all in one gulp and handed the tea cup back to Zhao Ning.
"Where did the Thousand Miles of Wind Escape Talisman send you that day?" Qin Keyuan looked at her and raised his finger to the stone bench, "Sit down."
After Zhao Ning sat down, she replied, "I went to the mortal village of Dayue Kingdom."
The Thousand Miles of Wind Escape Talisman was inspired by Qin Keyuan. He naturally knew which direction to go. For Zhao Ning, only the mortal country in the west is the safest. This was obviously not what Qin Keyuan asked, but Qin Keyuan did not frown and just continued. Asked, "But what misfortunes have you experienced? It seems to me that you have used secret methods to spread your energy and rebuild your cultivation."
For some reason, Zhao Ning felt aggrieved at this moment, as if all the suffering she had suffered in the Yue Ming Land came rushing back to her, but she just lowered her head and slowly recounted everything she had experienced in the Dayue Kingdom.
She didn't talk about the magical House of Silent Spirits, nor how she managed to survive Tai Ke's death. Without these parts, many things became intermittent and illogical. Fortunately, Qin Keyuan didn't ask any questions and just did it quietly. A listener, patiently waiting for her to finish.
Until the end, Zhao Ning said in a loud voice, "Zhao Ning was once just a wandering child. He was favored and looked down upon. Fortunately, he learned to read early. He vaguely understood etiquette, law and morals, and knew anecdotes about immortals and knights. He once fantasized about them. Immortals save people by condensing water and fire, and preach the great truth to those who are lost."
"After getting the notes of Tai Ke's ancestors, the words mentioned above all fulfilled my imagination of immortals. Calling them ancestors is actually recruiting the immortals in Ning's heart. Therefore, I followed the immortals to walk out of the small land, wander through the mountains and rivers alone, and recruit Ning Ning. The image of the immortal is depicted in his heart as sacred and glorious as a saint.
But he didn't expect that in an instant, all the images of so-called immortals would be destroyed. Immortals are not immortals. They do not respect the Tao and the common people. They also want to use Zhao Ning's body to retaliate against the world. In Zhao Ning, it seems as if the heaven and earth collapsed instantly, and the mountains and seas turned steeply and upside down. "
“However, fortunately, Zhao Ning still wanted to live and live forever, so she persisted.
The misfortune turned out to be a blessing, and he even used the secret method of rejuvenation to repair the spiritual acupoint. Zhao Ning felt that it was worth it. "
She looked up and smiled as if relieved.
Qin Keyuan remained silent. His whole life was full of disasters and he was destined to be punished by God. Is it really worth it?
After a long while, Qin Keyuan asked, "Are the burns on your body also calamities?"
Zhao Ning paused. After escaping from the small underground secret realm, he had no time to change his clothes, let alone treat the burns from the Samadhi True Flame Bead on his body.
She no longer hesitated in her heart, and suddenly knelt down and saluted Qin Keyuan again. The moment she knelt down, Qin Keyuan raised his hand to help her up, but he didn't know what to think and withdrew his hand again.
Pressing his forehead on the back of his hand, Zhao Ning said, "Senior, please save Zhao Ning."
In fact, from the moment she saw Qin Keyuan after the teleportation, Zhao Ning was hesitant to say this. Otherwise, normally, she would have left quietly after the incident.
"Get up and talk."
But Zhao Ning was still kneeling on the spot, just straightened up and looked at Qin Keyuan, and then offered a jade box with both hands.
This kind of jade box is specially made to store treasures and has the effect of astringing spiritual energy. But at this moment, this jade box is completely red and looks like it will melt in a minute. You can still faintly see a ball of flame swimming in the box. .
Qin Keyuan took the jade box and opened it only slightly, and the firelight came out of the box.
"Zhao Ning originally wanted to follow the Burning Heaven Sect out of the Spiritual Mist Forest, but who wanted to stumble upon Jia Rui's conspiracy and forcefully took the True Flame Bead of Samadhi to save his life." Zhao Ning will not know what happened after meeting the Burning Heaven Sect and the others. Tell Qin Keyuan the big and small details.
"Zhao Ning knows that Jia Rui is the proud son of heaven who was vigorously cultivated by Qingxiao Sect. If I take away his talents and treasures, he will definitely come to take revenge on me. In Zhao Ning's heart, Jia Rui is an immortal who punishes evil and promotes good, and has a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. , so please save me, senior."
With that said, he kowtowed to Qin Keyuan again.
Qin Keyuan closed the jade box and cast a spiritual light into the box. The jade box instantly returned to its original clean and moist appearance, and the contents inside could not be seen clearly.
He got off the stone bed, bent down, held Zhao Ning's arm with one hand, and helped her up.
"Why do you need such a big gift?" He looked at Zhao Ning with a faint smile in his eyes, "Jia Rui does have some tricks, but I can't take revenge on you from Qin Keyuan."
He handed the Samadhi True Flame Pearl back to Zhao Ning, "It is a rare treasure of heaven and earth, so keep it carefully."
Zhao Ning was surprised that Qin Keyuan returned the True Flame Pearl of Samadhi to her. She had originally thought of exchanging the treasures of heaven and earth for the blessing of her predecessors.
"Senior Qin..."
"What Jia Rui did cannot be put on the table. The sect will not care about his matter, and he does not dare to report it to the sect. Half a year later, you openly participated in the Qingxiao Sect's Immortal Recruitment Order and entered the sect. , Jia Rui's words and deeds are bound by rules and will not hurt you at all." Qin Keyuan did not say a word. As the leader of Qingxiao Sect, it is not up to him whether Jia Rui can stay near Guiyuan City for a long time. Jia Rui has the final say.
Zhao Ning blinked, "But the four sects have not agreed that this time the Immortal Recruitment Order will not recruit ancient monks."
Qin Keyuan smiled, "Why, I promised to recruit Little Fairy Ning before, but Fairy Zhao Ning turned around and forgot about it."
How can I forget it? I am just cautious and thoughtful, and seek confirmation again.
Hearing Qin Keyuan imitate Ji Xiu and call her a little fairy, Zhao Ning felt a little shy and smiled at his gaze.
"Let's go." Qin Keyuan suddenly said to Zhao Ning, put his hands behind his back and walked out.
Zhao Ning was slightly startled, but she lifted up her skirt and followed closely, "Senior, where are we going?"
Qin Keyuan didn't answer, Yu Jian flew into the air with Zhao Ning.
Zhao Ning didn't know, but in just one stick of incense after flying into the air, a ray of fire struck Qijiu Cave in Qingzhu Peak. Jia Rui, dressed in ragged black clothes, landed in front of the cave angrily. As soon as his spiritual consciousness sensed it, he became furious again. His fist smashed the stone table in front of the cave.
"Shen Zhaoning, you run fast!"
With a flick of his robe sleeves, a raging flame ignited on the top of Qingzhu Peak, and then he left in disgrace amid the commotion.
At that time, Zhao Ning had already landed in a mountain forest.
This is a dangerous mountain, with lush greenery and dense vegetation on one side, and cliffs on the other side. Waterfalls are rushing down, and you can smell it in the forest. The spiritual energy is so pure and rich that it makes you feel relaxed and happy.
"The name of this mountain is Kongzhao Mountain, and the name is chosen arbitrarily. This is a distant mountain in the Qianren Mountains, nearly a hundred miles away from Guiyuan City. There is a small spiritual vein in the mountain, and a spiritual spring, so the spiritual energy is stronger than outside. Fuller.”
Zhao Ning followed Qin Keyuan to the top of the cliff. A small courtyard was surrounded by a wooden fence on the top. On one side of the courtyard was a two-story wooden house with a corridor. A red leaf tree was planted next to the house in the courtyard. The leaves were all red in color. The leaves on the top of the mountain were all red. The wind blew by, and the leaves danced with the wind, covering the ground in fiery red, the only bright color on the entire top of the mountain.
Zhao Ning stretched out her hand, and a red leaf fell on her palm. There was nothing magical about it, it was just an ordinary mangrove tree.
Qin Keyuan took her to the second floor and pushed the door open. The room was clean and simple, not much dusty, but except for the necessary furniture, there was nothing else.
"You have been cultivating here for the past six months." Qin Keyuan said, "This mountain is owned by me, no one else knows about it, and few monks fly with swords in the sky. There are restrictions under the mountain and in the mountain, unless Master Jindan comes to disturb him in person, No outsiders will disturb your practice."
"This hut is rarely taken care of. Miss Zhao Ning will have to tidy it up after she moves in."
He then took Zhao Ning to the circular corridor on the second floor, from which he could have a panoramic view of the small courtyard.
The area ten feet square in front of the courtyard is paved with bluestone. On the bluestone is a stone table and stone stools. The table has Go patterns engraved on it. The stone bowl on the side of the table contains crystal clear chess pieces, which have not faded at all due to the wind and sun.
On the right side of the stone table is a rockery stone. The rockery stone is faintly engraved with forbidden patterns, which is the forbidden core of the entire small courtyard.
Further to the right, you will emerge from the bluestone platform and go down the stairs to a large garden with some elixirs planted here and there.
"I don't take good care of these elixirs, and these gardens are deserted. If you feel that practicing is boring, you can plant some elixirs or flowers in your spare time."
The red leaf tree is planted on the left side of the bluestone platform near the second-story cabin.
"This red leaf tree is said to be an ordinary tree, but it is not entirely true. It has red leaves all year round. The leaves wither and the leaves grow."
Qin Keyuan walked down from the hut, and Zhao Ning still followed step by step.
Directly in front of the bluestone platform is a cliff. The edge of the cliff is blocked by a huge boulder covered with moss. Looking down from the boulder, three or four feet below, there is a stream of water emerging from the cliff, forming a curved mountain spring on the cliff. .
The sound of water is crisp and clear, accompanied by the chirping of insects and birds in the mountains. It is truly a paradise.
Qin Keyuan stopped by the stone table, turned around and faced Zhao Ning, "This place is quiet and quiet, which should be suitable for you."
Zhao Ning bowed and said, "Senior Qin has made proper arrangements, and Zhao Ning has nothing to repay."
Qin Keyuan laughed at her, "What did you say before at Qingfengguan? Zhao Ning was a great favor to you, but it was just a small effort for me. Since it is a small effort, I will not repay you in vain. Besides, the road to immortality is so long, who knows that I, Qin Keyuan Will you not be the one to seek help from me in the future?"
"Senior Qin, please don't say such curse words. The laws of heaven are unpredictable. Who knows if it is eavesdropping." Zhao Ning quickly stopped him and said, "Zhao Ning only wishes that Senior Qin will live forever."
Qin Keyuan helped her stand up. He looked at the red leaves of the tree and didn't know what he was thinking.
Zhao Ning looked at his serious face and stood beside him with her head bowed, keeping company with him quietly.
I don’t know how long it took, but he said, “It’s time for me to return to my clan.”
"Zhao Ning sends Senior Qin off."
Qin Keyuan nodded, and Zhao Ning watched as his sword flew into the air, a silver glow like a bright moon and a long river.
Zhao Ning kept watching the silver glow disappear into the sky, and then turned her gaze to the red leaves falling slowly on the red leaf trees. It seemed that she had not felt at ease and quiet at this moment in more than ten years.
She just regarded herself as a mortal, walking up the wooden steps step by step, listening to the creaking sound of the steps.
