The boss said as he walked, "You little girl, you and your grandma were not having a good life, and you are still acting like a six or seven-year-old child at the age of ten. I know that you often steal small things in the town, so forget it, this Why did you steal the banknote directly this time? If you are found out, don’t let your hands get it. Well, Xiao Meng’er, since your grandma is sick, I will go to see your grandma first, and then I will find a way to help you get the banknote. Give it back."
"I told you, it was for pawns!" Xiao Meng'er muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Just pawn that old miser. You can get ten taels in exchange for it. It's raining red from the sky. You stole and cheated at a young age. Let's see how your grandma beats you."
One big and one small gradually walked away.
Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan stopped following. Qin Keyuan said lightly, "She is different from you."
Zhao Ning was silent for a moment, then said, "She also has a grandma."
But Zhao Ning seems to have been kidnapped by human traffickers as long as he can remember. Zhao Ning has a late memory and can only roughly remember things after the age of five, but cannot remember anything before that.
"What you remember deep in your consciousness, when one day, you suddenly feel that your fate is involved, that may be the family in your memory."
Zhao Ning looked at Qin Keyuan. Qin Keyuan raised his hand and handed her a candy man. It was exactly the same as the dragon-patterned candy man that had just been broken. She didn't know when Qin Keyuan got it.
At this moment, Zhao Ning felt that Uncle Qin was coaxing her.
But I heard him say, "Zhanfan, Zhanfan, you have to find your worries in the world by yourself." And then cut it off.
Zhao Ning smiled, took the candy man, took a small bite, and nodded with crooked eyes.
Ancient Tao cultivators, when they reach the level of foundation building, actually have no bottlenecks in their cultivation. After accumulating true energy to a certain level, they can naturally be promoted. However, before they can practice, there is an extremely difficult hurdle, which is to cut off the relationship with the ordinary world. The first step in building a foundation is to completely transform from the ordinary world, and to be completely transformed from the mortal world. The worldly affairs have nothing to do with you, and you are no longer involved in the mortal world. Going to the great road wholeheartedly is the first step.
But no one knows how many cultivators, especially those on the ancient path, have become a lifelong bottleneck at this step.
Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan wandered around the market for a while until late at night, when all the fun people dispersed and the vendors returned to their homes with their burdens. Then they stayed at an inn in the town.
There was no need to sleep, so Zhao Ning simply opened the four Kyushu fragments that he had not had time to open with Qin Keyuan in the room.
The four Kyushu fragments were suspended in the room at the same time. The spiritual light on Zhao Ning's fingertips shook, and the demonic energy on the fragments dissipated inch by inch. With another flick of his fingertips, the four Kyushu fragments unfolded on their own. Unexpectedly, these four fragments Zhao Ning had indeed guessed that the picture of the Nine Provinces Fragments came from the same place.
Only four fragments of Kyushu scrolls were combined into a complete picture, which was a map of a city named Wangxianfang.
There is everything in the market, and all kinds of shops are marked with names, from alchemy to weapon refining, from miscellaneous goods to spiritual treasures, and they are so huge that they are twice as big as Guiyuan City.
"Uncle Master, where is this?"
Qin Keyuan said, "There is no place in Kyushu called Wangxianfang, but there is a place called Wangxian Death City in the mist of the sea."
"Death City?" Zhao Ning was slightly surprised, "Is it possible that Wangxianfang is the predecessor of Wangxian Death City?"
But before Qin Keyuan could answer, he saw his eyes glancing out the window. At some point, the chirping of insects in the middle of the night and the repeated sound of the watchman disappeared.
Just when Zhao Ning realized that someone was coming, a small purple figure that was only as big as a palm stood on the window sill. It was round and had its hands on its hips, staring at them angrily.
This looks like... Nascent Soul?
"Master Xiaoyi came out of the body like this. It would be terrible if his enemies discovered him." Qin Keyuan said calmly.
Xiao Yuanying, Master Xiaoyi, jumped down from the window sill, and then appeared on the square table, with her chubby calves crossed.
"Stop talking nonsense, who can hurt me." He stretched out his chubby little hand, "Give me back the Fei's Horn. It's just a low-grade golden elixir in the early stage of the golden elixir. You have been struggling with it for half a month, and you still want me to do this. I came to see you, your strength is really poor."
Zhao Ning silently averted her eyes. Master Yuanying probably could not have imagined that they were not in a hurry at all. After half a month of sightseeing, they had just arrived at the boundary of Yongcheng County Prefecture during their leisurely stroll.
Feizhijiao was at Zhao Ning. Zhao Ning paused but did not give it directly, "Before I give it to you, I want to ask the Master a question."
"Say." Master Xiaoyi didn't care. He lowered one leg and raised the other.
Zhao Ning asked, "I wonder if Master Xiaoyi and the Ziyan Sect have any disputes."
Master Xiaoyi narrowed his eyes, "You mean this is planned by the Ziyan Sect."
Zhao Ning did not respond, but Master Xiaoyi said to himself, "Is it from the lineage of Immortal Covering Moon, or from the lineage of the sect leader? I can talk to Immortal Covering Moon, and I can talk to the leader of Ziyan Sect, Hehe, that must have been what that old man did secretly. I succeeded in transforming into a god, so I had to extract his bloodline and alien fire and crush his Nascent Soul. Otherwise, he would lose his place, but he actually harmed me like this."
Zhao Ning was a little confused when she heard this. Firstly, the Purple Flame Sect seemed to have two distinct branches, and secondly, what the so-called quota was, was enough for the leader of one sect to pass on the conspiracy like this.
But it was obvious that Master Xiaoyi would not tell them so many secret things. Zhao Ning opened his hand, and the Fei's horn glowing with dark purple light was suspended in the palm of his hand.
"Hey, the epidemic has indeed weakened a lot, these bastards." Master Xiaoyi gritted his teeth and opened his hands as he spoke, "Quick, give it to me."
But Zhao Ning concealed it slightly at this time, "Master Xiaoyi, this Fei's Horn is an ancient treasure of ferocious beasts. When you go, don't you want to do the same as them, and use the grievances of the world to refine the evil magic weapon?"
"You little girl, I am walking on the Xiaoyao Dao, which is one of the three thousand righteous paths. How can it be compared with the evil path? You want me to give up my cultivation and turn to the evil way?!" Xiaoyi is very popular, " Quickly, give it back to me!"
Zhao Ning just made it clear that if he knew that Master Xiaoyi was also doing evil things, it would be a sin to hand over Fei's horn, but the heavenly proof of the Dao cannot be faked, so Zhao Ning said, "Master Xiaoyi is just Do you want it? The Dao-avoiding beads you promised have not been handed over to us yet."
"Little girl, you won't give in at all." Master Xiaoyi said angrily, turning his hand over and a colorless spirit bead the same size as his Nascent Soul's chubby hand appeared. But after looking at it for a long time, I felt something strange, as if a black hole had swallowed up all the consciousness.
He threw the avoidance beads directly, and the Fei's Horn in Zhao Ning's hand naturally flew towards him. Xiaoyi Master Yukong Yukong walked out of the table, holding the Fei's Horn with both hands and feet, which was twice the size of his Yuanying. , and just as he was about to leave, his peripheral vision suddenly fell on the map of Wangxianfang that fell on the chair.
He said "Hey", didn't even take the Fei's Horn, and just jumped on it.
But he didn't expect that the Wangxianfang map would disappear on the chair the moment he pounced on it, and he directly landed face-first on the chair.
Half of Nascent Soul's body seeped into the chair. He pulled himself out and looked at Qin Keyuan with excitement and annoyance.
The map of Wangxianfang is in Qin Keyuan's hands at this time.
"You guys, what's wrong with me looking at the map?"
Qin Keyuan said calmly, "Master Yuanying can tell everything at a glance. If you keep looking at it, you will be familiar with the structure of Wangxianfang."
"Hey, you!" Master Xiaoyi Yuanying was about to jump, but he held it back.
But his eyes still kept looking at the map of Wangxianfang, "That is the original appearance of Wangxian Death City. I heard that Wangxian Death City was the largest city leading to Penglai Island in ancient times. Later, In the Great Destruction, all the monks, from Nascent Soul to mortals, died overnight, and the entire city disappeared along with the island. The treasures of the ancient monks and the relics of the city are still there, no less. On the ancient battlefield.”
He murmured, and then Zhao Ning realized that there was such a saying about Wangxianfang. Qin Keyuan probably knew this a long time ago. He said without moving his expression, "If Qin's news is correct, Tiangong seems to have discovered Wangxian Death City." I'm just afraid of the formations and restrictions on it, so I don't dare to go deep."
Zhao Ning understood immediately. The Wangxianfang on the Jiuzhou Fragment had clearly marked all the formations and restricted positions.
As soon as Master Xiaoyi saw Qin Keyuan's understanding look, he knew that there was no chance of fooling the prostitute.
He landed on the table, put his hands on his hips and asked, "I don't want to owe you either, how about another trade, a fair exchange."
Qin Keyuan looked at Zhao Ning, meaning that this was a map she drew, and it was up to her to decide how to deal with it. Zhao Ning nodded. She was not that ambitious and felt that she could monopolize the entire Wangxianfang. thing.
She said to Qin Keyuan, "Uncle, what do you think is worth the exchange?"
Qin Keyuan looked at Master Xiaoyi and said, "Master Xiaoyi will exchange for the place in Ziyan Sect."
Master Xiaoyi was startled, then raised his hand and looked at Qin Keyuan in disbelief, "Do you know what this quota is? You think you can get it with just this Wangxianfang map, it's a joke."
His attitude is quite like exchanging sesame seeds for watermelon.
Zhao Ning didn't know what kind of riddle they were playing, but she knew that Qin Keyuan would never do anything uncertain, let alone harm herself, so she quietly watched their confrontation.
Qin Keyuan said, "Whether it is worth it or not depends entirely on Master Xiaoyi's own judgment. If what I know is correct, there is a tribulation platform in Wangxianfang, which can weaken the thunder tribulation by at least 30%. Master Xiaoyi enters with the Spiritual Root Avenue." For Xiaoyao to be fully promoted to Yuan Shen, he still needs seventy-seven forty-nine thunder tribulations. This thunder tribulation..."
"Okay, I'll change it!"
Who would have thought that Master Xiaoyi couldn't help but just slap the table and make a decision.
Qin Keyuan raised the corner of his mouth, looking at Master Xiaoyi and making his teeth itch with anger, but what he said was witnessed by Heaven. He did something, and a circle of spiritual light appeared in his hand, and then shot directly towards Zhao Ning.
Zhao Ning subconsciously held the aura, and the aura fell into Zhao Ning's hands and transformed into a jade plaque.
Zhao Ning subconsciously looked at Qin Keyuan, who had already thrown the map of Wangxianfang directly to Master Xiaoyi.
Master Xiaoyi glanced eagerly, then looked at Qin Keyuan, and then at Zhao Ning. At this time, he laughed inexplicably, "This quota from me really doesn't cost so much. I'll give it to you if you give it. But this If the little girl cannot be promoted to a high-grade golden elixir within ten years, this quota will be wasted in her hands."
Qin Keyuan said calmly, "Master Xiaoyi doesn't need to worry about it."
"Master Xiaoyi has also seen the map. The Yuanying has been out of the body for such a long time, so he is not afraid of people from the Purple Flame Sect chasing him."
Master Xiaoyi heard that Qin Keyuan was chasing away guests, so he was not angry. He smiled and said, "Come here, I want them to be trapped in Yongfeng City with me and eat candied haws. Damn, I'm going to vomit." Now, when will the opportunity come?"
He muttered under his breath, waved his hands to the two of them, and disappeared into the room.
After he left like this, the sound of insects outside gradually returned to normal.
Only then did Zhao Ning take the time to look at the jade plaque in her hand. There were not many complicated lines on the jade plaque, it seemed like there was only a scratch and an ancient Chinese character "Feng".
Zhao Ning asked Qin Keyuan, "Uncle Master, what is the use of the quota represented by this jade plaque?"
"Have you ever heard of the ancient battlefield?" Qin Keyuan asked her, Zhao Ning thought about it carefully, and only remembered that the Jiuzhou Continent Chronicle once said that after the great destruction, all races were in ruins and were waiting to be reborn, but they didn't hear anything about the battlefield. Is it possible? The ancient battlefield refers to the battlefield in the Great Destruction.
Zhao Ning shook her head frankly.
I wanted to hear a brief introduction from Qin Keyuan, but Qin Keyuan didn't say much. He only told Zhao Ning, "Don't let others discover this thing. If you get a high-grade golden elixir within ten years, the people in the Heavenly Palace will tell you."
Zhao Ning looked at him without blinking. She always felt that the people at the high level of Jiuzhou were hiding some secrets. All the insiders of this secret gathered together in this heavenly palace.
But Zhao Ning is self-aware. Now her cultivation level is only just promoted to Foundation Establishment, and she has not passed the Mortal Slaying level. Knowing too much is not conducive to her cultivation.
Knowing what was going on, he didn't ask any questions and placed the jade tablet in the House of Silent Spirits.
She thought of the bargain she had just made with Master Xiaoyi, and couldn't help but smile, "Master Xiaoyi is the only two seniors with the best temper I have ever met." The first one is of course Uncle Qin, although Master Uncle Qin may Not approved.
Qin Keyuan also said, "Master Xiaoyi is naturally fun-loving and does as he pleases. In addition, he has entered the mortal world at this moment and his body has been suppressed by heaven to look like a child. He is somewhat affected by the child's nature. He knows it himself, but unless he really If anyone prevented him from becoming a god, he would turn a blind eye and let nature take its course."
"Zhao Ning can't learn such a casual mind." Zhao Ning admired slightly, and suddenly remembered Master Xiaoyi's words of ridicule before leaving, "It's just that Master Xiaoyi transformed into a god and became an ordinary person. That’s all, what’s the point of eating candied haws all the time?”
Zhao Ning didn't want to peep too much into such a distant realm, but Master Xiaoyi's behavior was simply incomprehensible.
"There are thousands of ways to transform into gods in the rumors in Kyushu, but most people firmly believe that there must be a process in transforming into gods, which is to eliminate illusions and eliminate obsessions."
Zhao Ning heard what he said, "Is it possible that Master Xiaoyi's obsession is with this candied haws?"
If Zhao Ning was not very calm, his seemingly calm expression would probably break on the spot. Qin Keyuan looked at her, and there was a rare trace of confusion in his expression.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile in the end.
Zhao Ning added, "Uncle, uncle just gave me the candy man again. Could it be that he was also helping me get rid of my obsession in advance? Speaking of which, I feel a little regretful that the candy man landed."
The night was not long. The two of them talked, meditated and adjusted their breath. The night passed quickly.
The two of them had just left the city gate, and Zhao Ning had not figured out where to go next.
Then I saw an old mother-in-law dragging the girl named Xiao Menger from last night.
As they walked quickly, the old woman scolded, "Grandma knows that you are filial, but stealing someone's jade pendant to pawn, how can you do such a sneaky thing? Although we are poor, we must live upright and upright, never A petty thief."
Xiao Meng'er didn't understand the deep meaning of grandma's words, "But grandma, you could hardly get out of bed yesterday. I was afraid... Xiao Meng'er was so scared..."
Then she cried so hard that she couldn't breathe. After all, the old woman felt sorry for her granddaughter, who was dependent on her. She sighed, knelt down and hugged her granddaughter into her arms, and patted her heartily, "Stop crying, little one." Meng'er, isn't grandma okay now? The miracle doctor and the Taoist priest just happened to travel to our village. Not only did grandma heal, but everyone else in the village is fine."
Xiao Meng'er wiped her tears and still didn't believe it, "But yesterday..." She only breathed her last during the day yesterday. Even the old lady herself said that she was about to die, so Xiao Meng'er should stay away from this village full of diseases.
"Didn't the doctor from the town come with you last night to treat grandma? Didn't he tell you that grandma was blessed by the gods and all her illnesses were cured?"
The old woman comforted her granddaughter, and Xiao Meng'er nodded.
"Let's go to the pawn shop to exchange the jade pendant back, and then look for the person who lost the jade pendant."
