"Junior sister Guo, don't be a hard person." Lu Jiu said nonchalantly, "I'm not frivolous with you, nor have I done anything inappropriate. I'm just visiting you regularly, and I haven't violated the sect's rules."
"Lu Jiu!" Guo Ying'er was furious and her eyes were burning. If she hadn't been unable to fight with the same sect, she would have taken out the golden dragon shears and cut the opponent in half.
Lu Jiu raised his eyebrows, seeing that she couldn't help him, and raised his chin frivolously, signaling Guo Ying'er to let go of his arm.
"Although Junior Brother Lu has not violated the rules of harassing female disciples, he has not practiced well for several months and may have forgotten the most important thing about the sect's cultivation."
Suddenly there was a sound coming from behind them, and several people followed the sound and looked.
Guo Ying'er was so surprised that she threw away Lu Jiu's arm and ran over, "Zhao Ning, I haven't seen you for a long time." Before she could finish her words, she glanced up and down and saw Zhao Ning wearing a moon-white disciple uniform, and her eyes widened. Even bigger, "When did you become an inner disciple?"
The disciples from the Outer Sect's Punishment Hall hurriedly handed over their hands, "I've seen the Inner Sect's young senior sister. I wonder what important matters the young senior sister has to give to the outer sect."
Seeing the completely different attitude of the disciples of the Punishment Hall, Guo Ying'er snorted coldly and pulled Yun Jinfan over. She complained to Zhao Ning without concealing her voice, "Lu Jiu has been coming to our Zizhu Forest quite frequently recently. Dian Mao." He seems to come to Jin Fan every few hours, but I don’t think he has any good intentions."
Lu Jiu was worried about Zhao Ning's inner disciple uniform, so he didn't speak as confidently as before, and explained, "Guo Ying'er, don't you know that a gentle lady is a good gentleman? I think a tigress like you is something that no gentleman can ask for!" "
"Bah, are you the only one who can still be considered a gentleman?!"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Zhao Ning looked at Yun Jinfan. As the core of the quarrel, she looked very embarrassed, "Junior Sister Yun, do you have any complaints?"
Zhao Ning felt that there might be a secret behind this matter. After all, there was a mysterious person with unpredictable strength hidden in Yun Jinfan's sea of consciousness. Zhao Ning received a warning just because he suspected Yun Jinfan, not to mention that Yun Jinfan was being harassed? But the fact is that Lu Jiu struggled for several days.
Yun Jinfan lowered his head and tugged at the hem of his clothes, and said angrily, "I asked Senior Brother Lu Jiu about the exercises a few days ago. Maybe... maybe Senior Brother misunderstood."
Guo Ying'er was stunned for a moment, but soon she was relieved. She pointed at Lu Jiu and said, "Lu Jiu! This little girl asked you about the exercises, but you just slapped your nose on your face and paid tribute to yourself, thinking that Jin Fan gave you Did you get a chance? You are so shameless."
"Guo Ying'er, what did you say!"
"Stop... stop arguing." The disciples of the Punishment Hall crowded around the two of them and hurriedly stopped the two people who were at war with each other. They were afraid that they would start a fight and the director would ask him to hold him accountable. There was a young senior sister from the inner sect standing there. He regretted standing here today. He was so troubled in his heart that he had no choice but to look at Zhao Ning for help.
Zhao Ning glanced at the few people and said calmly, "Since we can't tell who is right and who is wrong, and it doesn't violate the sect's rules, but Junior Brother Lu Ku and Junior Sister Yun are so entangled, But I have missed the point of practicing. As I said just now, practicing is the first priority of the sect, so I ask you two to stay in seclusion, copy the sect's rules ten times, and reflect on your mistakes."
The disciples of the Punishment Hall nodded repeatedly, "Young Senior Sister is right," "Just do as the Young Senior Sister said." He gestured with his hand, "You two junior brothers and sisters, please go back and copy the sect's rules as early as possible. The Punishment Hall will send someone to you in three days." People check.”
Guo Ying'er hummed twice and agreed. After all, they had driven away the annoying Lu Qiu, and they could practice quietly, but she still said, "I'm taking advantage of you!"
While they were talking, the Punishment Hall arranged for two disciples to take Yun Jinfan and Lu Jiu back.
After Guo Ying'er left everyone, her thoughts turned to Zhao Ning's Inner Disciple uniform, and she was extremely curious, "I thought you were practicing in seclusion, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye you would become the Inner Disciple's junior sister. Tell me quickly. Tell me something magical happened."
Zhao Ning did not answer, and Guo Yinger pursed her lips and did not ask further questions.
"I wonder if there is any result about the corpse of the man in black robe outside Lingwu Forest last month?" Zhao Ning asked the disciple of the Punishment Hall. The disciple was stunned for a long time, and suddenly remembered something.
"This matter will be handled by Manager Zhao personally. Young Senior Sister, please enter the palace first. I will ask Manager Zhao to come over."
Zhao Ning nodded and entered the punishment hall with Guo Ying'er.
This is Zhao Ning's first time entering the outer sect's punishment hall. The punishment hall is said to be a place for punishing disciples who do not abide by the sect's rules. In fact, what is enshrined in the hall are the tablets of the ancestors of the sect. The tablets have been passed down from bottom to top for hundreds of years. In the ancient times, the statue of the founding ancestor stood at the top, with his feet on the stars, holding a long sword, with long beard and white hair, sharp eyes, and a majestic posture. With just one glance, he looked like a mayfly peeping into the vast universe.
Zhao Ning immediately looked away and heard Guo Ying'er talking in her ear.
"... After asking, it seems that Master Su of the Luoxia Sect was also deceived. These people are not from the Zhuzhou cultivation world."
Zhao Ning was not surprised, "Do you know where it is?"
Guo Ying'er shook her head, "When Senior Sister Ming went to inquire last month, there was no result yet."
"It turns out to be Senior Sister Shen." At this time, Manager Zhao walked in and held his hands close to him with a smile.
Director Zhao has reached the peak of Qi training, but he is old and his hair and beard are all gray. No wonder he no longer tries to be promoted to Foundation Establishment, but instead becomes the director of the Punishment Hall. There is a gap between the inner and outer sects, even if He has perfected his qi training, and when he sees any qi training disciples in the inner sect, he will call him senior brother and senior sister.
Zhao Ning returned the greeting, "Does Mr. Zhao know me?"
Manager Zhao smiled and said, "The dog is accompanying Senior Brother Liu at Chixiao Peak. Young Senior Sister saw him from a distance when she entered the Alchemy Academy."
Zhao Ning had a general understanding and asked him about the men in black robes, "I heard that Manager Zhao found out that there was something unusual about the identities of the four people. I don't know what the situation is."
"Reporting to my little sister, there is indeed something unusual. These people are using common tricks in the Zhuzhou cultivation world, but they are actually members of the Ziyan Sect in the Nanyang cultivation world. The Ziyan Sect hides it well, but our Punishment Hall has a secret method of backtracking. Not only They can recall the images of their lives and the spiritual light in their bodies. They have purple flames unique to the Purple Flame Sect’s skills, and that’s when we found out.”
Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm is divided into nine states, with the secular world in the center. Kunxu Cultivation Realm was called Cangzhou in ancient times and is in the east. Nanyang Cultivation Realm is in the southeast, known as Yangzhou in history, and is adjacent to Kunxu. Zhuzhou Cultivation Realm is in the southwest, adjacent to Kunxu. The Virtual Cultivation World is separated from Nanyang in the southeast and Yanzhou in the south. The Zhuzhou Cultivation World is connected to the Demonic Wasteland in the West, so it is used to being disliked and rejected by others.
"They want to push the matter to the Zhuzhou cultivation world. What's their plan?"
Manager Zhao replied, "We guess they are looking for the tomb of Haoyang."
One sentence sounded like there was an explosion in the air.
Guo Ying'er covered her mouth, "Isn't Master Haoyang the sinner who betrayed the Kunxu cultivation world for thousands of years?"
Zhao Ning asked, "It is said that Master Haoyang and an army of 500,000 mortals died together with his master on the battlefield. How could there be a tomb?"
"Young Senior Sister knows a lot. I heard from the elders in the sect that the battlefield disappeared overnight. Later, I don't know where the news spread. Master Haoyang was not dead, but escaped into the mausoleum, and three Haoyang Military Orders leaked out. , holding the military order can not only summon the souls of half a million mortal soldiers, but also open the tomb."
Zhao Ning remained motionless, and the Haoyang Military Order lay quietly in the Palace of Silent Spirits.
"And the news started with Master Zhenxuan being one of them. Master Haoyang was a fire genius thousands of years ago and was good at refining alchemy. There are rumors that Master Zhenxuan's alchemy skills may have been passed down to Master Haoyang."
"You mean, Master Zhenxuan has Haoyang's military order and has entered Haoyang's tomb?"
Manager Zhao raised his hands and praised, "Young senior sister is smart."
Guo Ying'er listened in confusion, "But Master Haoyang is not from my Kunxu cultivation world. Their Ziyan Sect is far away in Nanyang. Why would they know?"
Manager Zhao smiled, he knew Guo Ying'er, "Junior sister Guo's brother just came back from Bianzhou a few days ago."
Bianzhou is one of the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm. It was called Bianzhou in ancient times. It is in the northeast and is only separated from the Kunxu Cultivation Realm by the Qianren Mountains. However, there are ancient formations in the Qianren Mountains, which cannot be crossed by non-Master Yuanying. Traveling to and from Bianzhou He and Kunxu need to pass through the Lingwu Forest and go around Bianzhou from the mortal Dayue Kingdom.
"That's right. He is good at swords, and there are many sword sects in Bianzhou's cultivation world, so he went to Bianzhou's Lijian Sect as a disciple of the Qingxiao Sect to exchange ideas." After Guo Ying'er finished speaking, she suddenly realized, "Guanshi Zhao said, When Master Haoyang was still a disciple of the sect, he also went to the Ziyang Sect on behalf of the sect to exchange ideas and discuss Taoism."
"Exactly." Manager Zhao nodded, "Not only that, this Master had a relationship with the Holy Girl of the Purple Flame Sect at that time."
It's no wonder that Ziyan Sect knows the news about Master Haoyang so clearly.
Zhao Ning understood all this and thought, "Have you informed the Luoxia Sect about this?"
"Not yet." Manager Zhao hesitated, "Su Maoyan of the Luoxia Sect must have encountered this incident by chance."
Zhao Ning was silent for a moment, and then said, "If the other party is running towards Haoyang's tomb, he will not stop there. Moreover, the matter involving Master Haoyang back then involved my sect and the Luoxia Sect. They really found Haoyang's military order. Not to mention the matter of opening Haoyang's tomb and summoning half a million mortal soldiers of wronged souls, the entire Kunxu will not be at peace."
Manager Zhao suddenly realized, "Senior Sister is right. Since it is not my sect's responsibility, the other three sects cannot avoid it. I will report it to you right away."
Manager Zhao bowed and retreated.
Guo Ying'er murmured beside her, "Why do I feel that Kunxu is going to be in chaos?"
Zhao Ning comforted her, "Not for the time being." One of the military orders was with her. The things in the House of Silent Spirits would never be taken away by others unless she died. It was an exaggeration to say that half a million innocent souls were scattered around Kunxu. , I am afraid that the people of Ziyan Sect have other ideas, so it is necessary to let the four major sects nip the matter in the bud first.
Chapter 088
Return to Yuancheng.
He Jie propped his head in boredom behind the stall.
The stall owner next to him was sitting cross-legged, yawning and looking at the people coming and going, but no one came to buy his things. Guiyuan City had been very deserted in the past few days, and it was even difficult to do business.
"Hey, He Shengun, tell me what big things happened recently."
He Jie was staring at the people coming and going, as if waiting for someone.
"No."
He Jie didn't look at him and simply said two words to him.
The stall owner next door was unhappy, "He Jie, what's the matter with you? Last year, a prophecy of Kunxu's major events appeared in a few days, so why is it so quiet this year?"
He approached He Jie and said, "Let me tell you, have you ever failed to please people? You are not even good at prophecy."
Seeing that he was doubting himself, He Jie turned around and glared at him, "Old man Ren Tianji is counting on Tianji to lose his life. What should I do if I take a break?"
The stall owner next door scratched his head, "Old Tianji, who is it? There seems to be no such person in the Kunxu cultivation world."
"Oops." He Jie scratched his head irritably, put away the things on the stall, stood up and said, "Let's go, we won't set up a stall anymore."
Seeing that there were not many people around recently, and the stall owner next door had no intention of setting up a stall, he hurriedly put away his furoshiki when he saw him leaving and trotted after him.
"He Jie, He Jie, why are you running away? I see that you have been very irritable recently. Are you angry or something?"
He Jie walked quickly, "Something big is going to happen. If we can't repay the favor again, let's all go to the common world and drink the northwest wind."
"Ah? What? He Jie, please slow down." The stall owner next door didn't understand and trotted to catch up with him. "I see that the four major sects are very peaceful recently. How can there be any big things?"
He Jie said nothing, only hummed twice.
"Could it be the calm before the rainstorm?" The stall owner next door grabbed him, "Speaking of which, if something really big happens, that little girl you're trying to please..."
Before he finished speaking, he received a glare from He Jie and quickly changed his words, "Fairy, it's a fairy. What I mean is that this fairy is only in the qi training realm, and she looks more than 28 years old. If this whole The Kunxu cultivation world is in chaos, but she can still be safe and sound."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Jie suddenly paused. The stall owner next door looked at his expression and thought, well, He Jie was also confused.
Just about to prepare to laugh, He Jie became firm again, and his tone was still nagging, "You don't understand, people who can disappear from the entire storybook and only appear on the last page are definitely not ordinary people." .”
He also pointed at the other party and said, "Even! She is in the 'development' stage."
"He Jie, what are you talking about? I'm getting more and more confused." When he was about to arrive at his residence, he kindly reminded him, "Dah, I know you have a good ability in divination." , but don’t be too obsessed, look at you, you seem to be crazy these days.”
He Jie was very disdainful, sneered and ignored him, and pushed open the door of his courtyard. However, as soon as he stepped in with one foot, he froze and saw only one person standing in the courtyard.
Hearing the sound, the man turned around, wearing a cloak as soft as silk, with a delicate and clear face revealed from the half-covered hood.
"Boss He, long time no see."
At this moment, He Jie was a little at a loss, and it took him a long time to hold back a few words, "Shen, Miss Shen, you, hello, haha."
"Not very good." Zhao Ning said expressionlessly, "I just overheard Boss He talking to his friends. Boss He seems to be able to see through the secrets. How about Boss He tell me a fortune."
"Uh." He Jie was slightly startled and did not move for a moment.
Zhao Ning just looked at him and played with the extremely cold heart in her hands.
He Jie's eyes visibly moved, and he laughed, "I actually know some tricks. I just know that the situation in Kunxu Cultivation World is unstable recently, and Miss Shen, as an inner sect of Qingxiao Sect, will not be able to survive alone."
It was obviously a vague statement, but Zhao Ning praised him, "Boss He, it's really a good trick. Even before the Qingxiao Sect's inner sect competition started, you already knew that I was an inner sect disciple." After leaving Qingxiao Sect, Zhao Ning changed into She was wearing an ordinary plain pleated skirt, not the inner disciple uniform.
He Jie was immediately speechless.
The heart of extreme cold was thrown at He Jie at this moment. He Jie subconsciously went to catch it, but the bone-piercing coldness made him unable to catch it several times. He saw it falling to the ground, and circles of frost spread. He Jie had no choice but to catch it. , transfer the extremely cold heart to a simple ring on your fingertips.
Ordinary jade boxes and storage bags cannot contain these heavenly and earthly treasures. Just like the last time Zhao Ning burned his hands even though he held the Samadhi True Flame Pearl in a jade box, he could only use special secret methods or true energy to seal it.
This antique ring must be extraordinary.
