But before Zhao Ning could figure out the reason, she felt a sense of oppression that was blocking the sun. She turned around suddenly, and everyone at the ceremony felt it. When she looked up, she saw a huge palace appearing in the sky. , that is...the Heavenly Palace.
It was the Heavenly Palace that Zhao Ning saw when Qin Keyuan formed the high-grade golden elixir. The Heavenly Palace was so majestic that it overlooked all living beings. Everyone present was aware of it and was extremely respectful.
At this time, I saw a fairy appearing in the uppermost hall of Jihan Palace. She was dressed in gorgeous palace clothes and was stunningly beautiful. She looked up and saw the Heavenly Palace coming, with a faint smile on her lips and held her hands in the distance.
"Welcome to the Heavenly Palace."
"Master Shuanglong, there is no need to be polite. This is your six-thousand-year-old birthday ceremony. The Heavenly Palace is here only to congratulate you." However, a thick and distant voice was heard, and two people appeared at the entrance of the Heavenly Palace.
It was impossible to see the faces of these two people clearly. After just a brief glance, I felt a vast sense of oppression. This was the Lord Yuanshen.
Everyone in Jihan Palace saluted Tiangong.
"It is Shuangtaki's honor to be congratulated on his birthday by the Heavenly Palace. I would also like to invite the two venerables to move to the main hall."
After a while, the two venerables disappeared into the sky together with Master Shuanglong, and the magnificent hall also disappeared.
But Zhao Ning knew that the main hall still existed and hung high on the top of Jihan Palace.
"As expected of Master Nascent Soul, the No. 1 Master of the Nine Provinces, he was actually able to have two venerables come to congratulate him in person, and even the Tiangong Palace was guarded in the Jihan Palace." Immediately at the Dharma meeting, a disciple sighed.
"What's the surprise? Master Shuanglong can be promoted to Master Yuanshen anytime and anywhere. If you ask me, Master Shuanglong will not be any different from Master Yuanshen."
"What this fellow Taoist said is wrong. Master Yuanying wants to be promoted to the Yuanshen Lord, but he has to go through the process of transforming into a god. The difficulty of transforming into a god is known to all the nine states. Otherwise, the entire nine states' Yuanshen Lords can even be counted with one hand. Not even there.”
"However, if you say that Master Shuanglong is valued by the Heavenly Palace, then it is indeed true. No one can match Master Shuanglong's status in the Heavenly Palace."
"Perhaps Master Shuanglong will be promoted successfully and become the next Lord of Heavenly Palace."
This statement is getting more and more ridiculous. Even the disciples of big families and sects may not necessarily know the realm above Yuanshen. Maybe they only know that Yuanshen is the last way to practice.
Zhao Ning did not stay at the Dharma assembly any longer. She raised her eyes to look at the Heavenly Palace again. For some reason, the Heavenly Palace appeared in front of her eyes again, which seemed to remind Zhao Ning of something, but it was vague.
She returned to the cave, closed her eyes and meditated. In the ethereal state of the Silent Spirit Mansion, she seemed to be in a fugue.
At this moment, she suddenly opened her eyes. By the way, when she was invaded by the demon, she once saw the Tiangong itself in the distance in the void. On the top of the Tiangong, a group of spiritual objects like the sun were bound with chains. What is that spiritual object? Could it be the Golden Crow?
In ancient times, the Golden Crow could become the sun, shining on the earth for thousands of miles.
In an instant, Zhao Ning disappeared into the cave and raised her eyes to the sky, although she knew she could not see anything.
But the words of Empress Houtu seemed to come to mind, "You have seen it."
Thinking carefully about Zhao Ning's life of more than 20 years, every experience was vivid in her mind. She was convinced that she had never seen the mythical beast in ancient legends. Only that time her soul entered the void, drifted outside the Kyushu, and returned. My memory was blurry at that time, and I could only remember seeing sporadic sightings of the Void Hall.
She narrowed her eyes slightly. If she had the chance, she wondered if she could see the whole picture of the Tiangong again, or go up to the Tiangong to take a look.
At this moment, Zhao Ning's determination to form a high-grade golden elixir became even more determined.
She knew that she was insignificant, and if she wanted to reach the Heavenly Palace as quickly as possible, this was the only way.
After that, Zhao Ning concentrated on practicing in the cave. The wedding gift in the golden crane was indeed the Huangting Tenglong Pill. This pill can increase the speed of the third level of cultivation, but it can only last for three days, leaving no time for cultivation. The years are coming to an end before I know it.
On this day, Bai Ye came to look for Zhao Ning.
"Xiaotong has been pestering me about Taoist lines for a while. This little guy has all the tutors in the palace instead of looking for him, so he just comes to me." Bai Ye smiled and looked at Zhao Ning, "Can you tell Xiaotong Is it from Tong Xili Taoist pattern?"
Zhao Ning nodded helplessly, and Bai Ye laughed again, "Since you are the one who caused this, why don't you help me take care of Xiaotong for a few days. I want to go out."
The latter part is the real reason why Bai Ye came to find Zhao Ning.
Zhao Ning hesitated slightly, "In a few days, there will be a competition at Mingguang Cliff. By then, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of Xiaotong."
"It's okay. Maybe I'll be back by then. Besides, Xiaotong is just a whim. Seeing how she's been wandering around watching Taoist patterns these past few days, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on for long. I'll let her do whatever she wants then. Bar."
"Then let's follow the real person's arrangements."
When Zhao Ning saw Xiao Lengtong in the Leng Jue Hall, she was holding her chin with one hand and drawing randomly on the paper with a brush. At first glance, she could see weird shapes.
"Xiaotong." Zhao Ning called.
Xiao Lengtong raised her eyes in surprise, "Beautiful sister, why is it you? I tried to recruit Ning before, but couldn't find him. Senior Brother Bai said you were practicing."
"Master Bai asked me to take care of your Taoist pattern study." Zhao Ning followed her downward movement and sat on the other side of the couch.
Xiao Lengtong frowned when he heard this, "The Dao pattern is not fun. I thought that after drawing it, I could take out many toys from it, but there was nothing. The most important thing is that as long as I draw a wrong stroke, I have to start again." painting."
Zhao Ning was helpless. This was normal. Even ordinary monks knew little about Taoist patterns. Most monks might only know a few words of Taoist patterns throughout their lives.
"It doesn't matter, you just need to be proficient in drawing a Dao pattern."
Xiao Lengtong pursed her lips, her round eyes rolling around, "Beautiful sister, let's not talk about things that are not fun, come and see my paintings!"
She turned the painting in front of her to Zhao Ning. There were patterns painted on the white paper, but most of the patterns were square.
Zhao Ning pointed to a square pattern, "What is this?"
"It's a house, very high, with more than a hundred floors, and you can't see the top." Since it was revealed that Xiao Lengtong's soul went to a place outside Kyushu, she has made no secret of her experience in that world, although every time she talks about it, At that time, the instructor was confused, and in the end he simply ignored it.
Zhao Ning listened patiently as Xiao Lengtong introduced the patterns she drew. Every time she mentioned a pattern, the smile on her face was bright.
It seems that she likes that world very much. It is a strange and magical world, but it is peaceful and lively enough. It is no wonder that the little one likes it.
Following Xiao Lengtong's introduction, Zhao Ning saw a pattern she drew in the corner. It was a pattern that was completely incompatible with the four different patterns. It was obviously not something from that world, but a secret pattern that peeked into the world.
"Xiao Lengtong, where did you see this?"
Xiao Lengtong couldn't remember it, so she thought seriously for a moment, "I found this in a book, and I imitated the drawing. Pretty sister, let me tell you a secret. This pattern can help me see our rescuers." The bloody uncle who came up, that bloody uncle is not a bad person, he will tell me many, many stories."
But Xiao Lengtong grabbed another piece of paper and drew the same pattern on it. As soon as the last stroke fell, the paper bloomed with brilliance. Then he saw the totem emerge from the paper, and then formed a circular light mirror. Zhao Ning felt weak spatial fluctuations, but saw a sleeping man displayed in the circular light mirror.
But the man was very keen. When the circular light mirror showed the situation around the man clearly, he suddenly turned over and sat up, "Who!"
Obviously the man couldn't see Xiao Lengtong on the other side of the circular light mirror. Xiao Lengtong smiled and said, "Uncle Wei, it's me, Xiaotong."
"What story are you telling me today?"
The man's expression did not relax, "Xiao Tongtong, did your uncle tell you not to tell others about our connection?"
"I know, I didn't tell anyone else that Sister Zhao Ning is my good friend." Xiao Lengtong didn't understand why he was angry.
"Senior." Zhao Ning said indifferently, "Senior, since you have woken up, why don't you contact the guarding disciples outside? I think Master Bai will let you go."
Hearing Zhao Ning's voice, the man's expression paused, "Say another word."
Zhao Ning frowned slightly, "What do you want to know?"
The man did not respond to Zhao Ning. He shook his head and sat back on the ice bed, "It turns out not to be the case."
He seemed quite peaceful, and Tong Zhaoning even explained, "Your voice sounds like an old friend of mine. I have been looking for her."
Zhao Ning looked at the man who looked a little lonely. He seemed to be hiding a lot of thoughts.
I saw him leaning on the ice wall behind him, his eyes locked very accurately on the point in the void where they were peeping, "You don't have to worry about what I will do to your sect. I just wandered in the void for too many years and have forgotten the real world." How to survive. Maybe one day I will be relieved from this trance and I will leave."
Zhao Ning was silent for a moment and then asked him, "I wonder what I should call you, senior?"
"Me? I have no name. I have long forgotten who I am." He propped up one leg and looked forward without focus. "I remember that a long time ago, someone gave me a name. What was it called Chenlai? Haha, I forgot about it a long time ago."
For some reason, although this man said he had forgotten it a long time ago, there was sadness or persistence in his eyes.
Maybe the old friend he has been looking for is the person who named him.
At this moment, Zhao Ning thought that this kind of person with a story in his heart was probably not a vicious person, but really just a lucky person who got lost in the void and came back through the time and space beacon.
She was silent, Xiao Lengtong looked at it, and then called the man to tell her a story.
The man smiled, his smile was very easy-going, like an adult coaxing a child lovingly, "A long time ago, there was a small temple in Chengxuan Cultivation World. There were no monks in the temple, only a hungry moth. I could only steal incense and candles from the temple to eat, and over time I developed spiritual intelligence. One day, a fairy suddenly came to visit the temple..."
Zhao Ning listened silently. There was a certain sense of fabrication in the man's story, but Zhao Ning did not expose him. She only listened to his last words, "Later, the moth also became a fairy together with the fairy."
"This fairy is so good. If I met a moth, I would be scared and scream, let alone fly with the moth to become a fairy." Xiao Lengtong tilted his head and commented, "Ah, it would be even more impossible for me, After all, I can’t practice at all.”
The days in Lengjuedian passed like this day after day. Xiao Lengtong liked chatting with men very much, even more than the world where her soul was.
After the sixth day, Bai Ye came back and went directly to the Dongjue Hall.
Xiao Lengtong reacted very quickly and cut off contact with the man directly. He traced the pattern on the paper seriously and seriously. At the end, he looked up at Bai Ye and said, "I am very serious. I have learned a Dao Wen, you can no longer send me to a few apprentice nephews."
Bai Ye had seen through everything a long time ago, but he didn't expose the little guy.
He just smiled and said, "Your nephews have no time to care about you now. I brought you ordinary snacks, you can eat them."
After saying that, he handed Xiao Lengtong a food box, and Xiao Lengtong ran away happily.
Zhao Ning walked next to Bai Ye. Bai Ye took one look and understood, and walked out, with Zhao Ning following behind.
After leaving the main hall, Zhao Ningcai said, "Xiao Lengtong has been in contact with Master Yuanying who was rescued that day. Does the real person know?"
"I know." As expected, Bai Ye replied affirmatively, "The senior doesn't seem to have any ill intentions. What he said was just to comfort the children and would not teach them bad things."
Zhao Ning did not answer. She could see that Bai Ye was hiding something. How could he let the little guy communicate with a strange master Nascent Soul because he had no ill intentions.
She paused, then asked, "Is that senior the father of Xiao Lengtong?"
This made Bai Ye stunned, and he looked at Zhao Ning suddenly, "You... that's all... how did you know?"
"I can tell that he is a demon." Zhao Ning said frankly, "and his demon spirit is in the same vein as Xiao Lengtong."
As a pure human monk, and only in the foundation building stage, Zhao Ning did not have the ability to sense the situation of her senior, but the "half-demon's gratitude" seemed to allow her to sense the blood of the half-demon to the greatest extent. When Xiao Lengtong and the bloody man got close, they felt that their demon spirit auras were entangled together. At first, Zhao Ning thought it was some way to steal luck, but until now, Jihan Palace still let the little guy and the senior Being together shows that this entanglement is probably a kind of closeness.
Bai Ye sighed, "You are indeed smart. But this little bit of information connects you."
Of course, it's not just this bit of information, Xiao Lengtong also made a wish on the golden crane to see her father. It was the blessing of the ancestor, but she didn't expect it to come true so quickly.
"Master felt it as soon as he appeared in Tianchi. But Master didn't want to meet him." Bai Ye looked at Zhao Ning, "There are rumors that Master has not transformed into a god for five thousand years just to wait for him. He became a respected person, but in fact there was a bad relationship between Master and him, and Xiao Lengtong was the result of that bad relationship."
This may also explain that although Xiao Lengtong is praised by the stars, he has been frozen in ice and has never been able to wait for his mother's love and care.
Zhao Ning knew that this was senior's secret and it was not good to pry too much, so she calmly said, "Since the palace has already made arrangements, I don't have to worry about anything."
Bai Ye smiled and said, "You and Xiaotong are somewhat destined. You have worked hard these days to take care of the children. Tomorrow is the competition at Mingguang Cliff. You should prepare first."
Zhao Ning was about to give up her hands and retreat, but she heard Bai Ye say again, "It's already now, why don't you ask me to help you write a cheat sheet?"
This is a common saying that Shangguan Zhenren learned from Xiao Lengtong. When Shangguan Zhenren was taking a test to teach Xiao Lengtong how to read, he was found to have written a lot of small characters on his hands. He called it "cheating notes", which made Shangguan Zhenren popular. My beard has all fallen off.
Zhao Ning paused for a moment, but without thinking much, she took advantage of the situation and asked, "I wonder if Master Bai has any reminder?"
Bai Ye touched his chin, as if imitating the elders in the palace in stroking their beards, then touched Kong, and then said, "Of course, you should get closer."
He looked mysterious. Zhao Ning paused but did not move. Bai Ye moved closer and said, "I want to be in the top ten, little girl."
After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and walked away leisurely.
Zhao Ning was speechless for a long time. This was a little trick by Bai Ye. This was probably to reward her for guessing the secret of Jihan Palace.
