"Senior, what tricks has this female ghost come up with?"
Of course, this female ghost had no tricks. Instead, she used a little spiritual light to eliminate the dust in the female ghost's consciousness, and her dusty memory and reason began to gain the upper hand.
Sure enough, in less than half a cup of tea, the female ghost calmed down a lot.
"This is the first time we meet, this ghost girl might as well introduce herself."
The female ghost raised her head, and even though her hair was disheveled, one could see the reason in her eyes. However, she just glanced at the people around her, then paused on Zhao Ning, and then knelt down directly on the ground, but she couldn't say anything. Did not say.
"Why did you, a ghost, trap us? We were just discussing things outside the village. Could it be possible that we were disturbing you?"
He Qiu accused angrily.
But the female ghost ignored him at all. She just looked at Zhao Ning and said, "You are an immortal, right? I know that I don't have the ability to resist. It doesn't matter whether it is reduced to ashes or scattered. It's up to you."
Even though she regained her consciousness, she still looked like she didn't say anything, which made other people's teeth itch.
Some people even said directly to Zhao Ning, "Senior, if this stubborn female ghost continues to be so obsessed, sooner or later she will become a full-scale ghost!"
"I can help you relieve your pain, as long as you tell me where this dragon energy comes from."
Zhao Ning just had a discussion with the female ghost, but at this moment, black smoke suddenly burst out from the female ghost's body, as if she had been suddenly stimulated, and she could self-destruct her soul body if she wanted to.
But in front of the monks, a newly formed female ghost could not help but commit suicide.
The spiritual light that penetrated the female ghost's body flashed slightly, instantly suppressing the explosion on the female ghost's body.
It's quite interesting. Zhao Ning thought calmly, this female ghost was protecting the future human emperor in every possible way, maybe the human emperor was in a bad situation.
Zhao Ning glanced at the female ghost quietly, then suddenly turned around, landed on the ground from the rockery, and walked out with her back turned.
He Qiu chased after him and asked strangely, "Senior, are you just going to let that female ghost go like this?"
"The female ghost killed your companion?"
"That's not true. The disciples and Brother Ren are all here."
Zhao Ning asked again, "Then she hurt you?"
"Senior arrived just in time. We were chased in a panic, but we were not injured."
Zhao Ning continued to walk out without stopping, "Since this ghost didn't kill anyone or harm anyone, it would be unkind to just make people disappear into ashes."
When He Qiu heard this, he couldn't find any words to refute for a while, so he could only follow Zhao Ning out calmly.
Of course, for another reason that Zhao Ning did not mention, sometimes people who have just woken up from madness, whether they are humans or ghosts, will always get unexpected results if they calm down for a moment.
Until Zhao Ning and his party walked out of Pingyi Village, Zhao Ning raised his head and glanced at the plaque on the village. The words on the plaque were flying and phoenixes, which was very impressive. Although this village was small, it was definitely not suitable for ordinary people to live.
So who is the female ghost living here?
At this moment, He Qiu suddenly asked his apprentice in a low voice, "Where is Taoist Master Ren? You were not with us just now. Where are you now?"
"I don't know." Several disciples shook their heads, but only one said in a low voice, "It seems that he went to pick up the portrait."
Sure enough, after a while, Ren Jue came out of Pingyi Village in a hurry.
Seeing the last person walking out of Pingyi Manor, Zhao Ning stood at the door and cast spells. Invisible restrictions climbed along the outer wall of the manor. The manor instantly blocked the entry of outsiders and the chance of the female ghost to escape.
Although I won't kill her, I can't cause trouble again.
He Qiu was still expressing dissatisfaction with Ren Jue in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Ren, you are acting alone like this. What should I do if that female ghost has any tricks up her sleeve?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to take out the portrait. Otherwise, how would we find someone?" Ren Jue unfolded the portrait and carefully inspected the damage on it, "We just took out this portrait outside the village before. We couldn't see the portrait or the person clearly, so the female ghost attacked us inexplicably. Take a look at this handsome appearance, no wonder the witch is also attracted to it. "
Zhao Ning paused for a moment, then her eyes fell on Ren Jue's unfolded portrait. Sure enough, it was Li Wei who was drawn on the portrait.
Li Wei's appearance is much more mature than a few years ago, and he has gone through a lot of changes. He has grown a short beard. The artist must have been respectful and sincere when he started painting, and the temperament of Li Wei was also vaguely expressed. His perseverance is indeed impressive. Attention.
Zhao Ning stopped, turned around and looked at Zhuangzi again, and suddenly had a slight guess about the female ghost in the village.
This speculation made Zhao Ning even more excited about the so-called decisive battle at the top of the Yellow City.
It was probably Zhao Ning who turned around twice that caught He Qiu's attention. He Qiu said, "Senior, if you are worried that this female ghost will cause trouble again, we are willing to guard her again."
Zhao Ning shook her head and continued walking forward, "Go back to Jiang Yicheng."
Several people from Zhengyangguan followed her, but they didn't dare to say anything.
Zhao Ning turned slightly to look at Ren Jue, who was on the right rear, and asked casually, "I heard that Taoist Master Ren came from Wu Ming Country?"
"Exactly." Ren Jue replied respectfully, "Nanjing and Wu Ming have been at war recently, and Wu Ming's mission has ended, so he returned to Nanjing."
"Then I don't know what kind of mission it is, so you have to go all the way to Wuming?"
This issue is actually a bit sensitive, but in the face of strength, Ren will never dare to hide anything.
He replied humbly, "I'm going to get Wuyuan water."
"Sourceless water?"
He Qiu took his words and introduced to Zhao Ning, "This Wuyuan water is the water from the source of Qingmo River. It is said that the source of Qingmo River has no source. Spring springs are everywhere, so it is called Wuyuan water. It is the doctor's name." Designated medicine introduction.”
He looked at Ren Jue with envy again, "Brother Ren personally went to the source of Qingmo River. That place is just like the rumors."
"Exactly. At first glance, the grass is long and the streams are intertwined into a network, but the real source can't be found. It's a marvelous workmanship."
Zhao Ning heard what he said and didn't seem to see the cruel scene in Qingmo River. Calculating the time, it would take at least half a year to go back and forth.
It's just that Zhengyangguan's status is a bit sensitive when he goes to Qingmojiang.
"Just going to get sourceless water?"
Ren Jue was stunned. He didn't know why Zhao Ning asked like this, so he had to answer carefully and remove himself, "I did go to get Wuyuan water, but there were more than ten people in the group. What others did, I am not too Clear."
He Qiu lowered his voice and said, "Senior, is there something abnormal?" He was hinting that Zhengyang Guan was doing something secretly.
But Zhao Ning did not answer him, only asked, "Who is this medicine introduction prepared for?"
"It is His Royal Highness the Third Prince of Nanjing." He Qiu glanced around a few times, probably out of guilt and fearing that others would see his true identity, so he added a more submissive tone, "The Third Prince is both wise and brave, but it is a pity that he was born a few years ago. I suffered a serious illness and my body has not recovered yet, so I can only take medicine all day long."
"Oh?" I took a quick glance that day and didn't fully notice the third prince's condition.
Zhao Ning walked forward silently, feeling that some things were beginning to connect together, but a key link was missing.
Unknowingly, I arrived at the gate of Jiang Yicheng. As soon as I reached the gate, I found that the gate was a little busy tonight. None of the nearby garrison and the guards in charge of the city gate were absent tonight.
Seeing them coming, the guard stopped them as before and said they were not allowed to enter under the curfew.
He Qiu directly took out the sign of Zhengyang Temple, and the guards no longer dared to stop them, and respectfully let them in.
Rules are like nonsense in the face of power and strength.
Zhao Ning faintly heard the guard mutter, "Why are there so many people you can't mess with today?"
"Senior, we will take you back to the bookstore."
"You don't have to follow me, go and rest by yourself." Even though a few people wanted to show some flattery, they didn't dare to say anything more after Zhao Ning's instructions.
Several people said goodbye to Zhao Ning, then turned and left.
He Qiu suddenly remembered something and stepped forward with the stainless steel sword in both hands, "Senior, I will return this divine sword to you."
"Don't worry, this matter is not over yet."
He Qiu shuddered, holding the sword as if he was holding on to his lifelong courage, and then said goodbye and left.
Zhao Ning walked alone on the dark street. There was no one on the street. It was not yet time to wake up, and the sound of Zhao Ning's footsteps seemed to be the only one in the whole street.
But not long after walking, Zhao Ning saw a luxurious carriage in front of her. The lanterns hanging on the four corners of the carriage were dazzling.
The light of the lantern was blown by the breeze, and the light and shadow swayed on the attendant beside the carriage. The attendant wore a half-mask, covering the looming scars. Become one with darkness.
Zhao Ning noticed a subtle sense of dissonance.
Chapter 154
The attendant noticed the gaze, raised his eyes and glanced in the direction of Zhao Ning. For a moment, Zhao Ning felt murderous intent and blood, but it quickly dissipated.
Xu thought that Zhao Ning was just a passerby, so he lowered his head and suppressed his sense of presence.
Just then, there was a noise from the house next to the car.
"Don't have any extra rooms? Forget it, there are so many inns in Jiang Yicheng, you can always find one."
This female voice was even more familiar.
I saw two guards walking out, followed closely by two other people. One man was handsome and the other was a beautiful woman.
And this woman turned out to be... Meng Congyi, whom she hadn't seen for more than half a year.
Meng Congyi glanced in the direction of Zhao Ning. When he saw Zhao Ning, his face instantly showed joy and he ran over in a few steps.
"Sister Lin, it's you! I just said that we are destined to meet each other in Jiang Yicheng."
Zhao Ning said, "It's been a long time indeed."
Probably because he had no childhood memories, Zhao Ning didn't have much emotional involvement with this companion who sacrificed to the Dragon King together.
Meng Congyi blinked, thought for a while and asked, "Sister Lin's home is in Jiang Yicheng?"
Zhao Ning probably guessed what she wanted to say and just nodded calmly.
"Great. Sister Lin, we have no place to live. Can we stay at your house?"
Before Zhao Ning could answer, the man who had spoken to her before had already walked over. Zhao Ning also knew him. By coincidence, she had mentioned him tonight, and he was the third prince.
However, seeing how he dressed and behaved like this, he must have concealed his identity.
"Congyi, who is this?" The third prince interrupted their communication.
Meng Congyi introduced, "Brother Huangfu, do you still remember the sister Lin who came with me from Dayue Kingdom in Luotian Town?"
Then he introduced to Zhao Ning, "This is Brother Huangfu, Huangfu Hao."
The third prince only glanced at Zhao Ning. His attention did not fall on Zhao Ning at all. He only said to Meng Congyi, "Congyi, we can go to the inn. Don't disturb others. At worst, we will stay here. There is another room here." Go to the room."
Meng Congyi glared at him, then took Zhao Ning's hand and said, "Brother Huangfu, this is my friend who I fell in love with at first sight, why is it someone else?"
She looked at Zhao Ning again, "right, Sister Lin. Let Cong Yi live at your house."
Zhao Ning did not resist Meng Congyi's approach this time. She nodded and took them directly to the bookstore.
