"Hu Xin."
Zhao Ning said softly.
After coming out of Kunxu, he went straight to Huaying City in Yangzhou. He stayed hidden in the clouds for several days. He wanted to come to mourn his old friend, but he didn't want to count his fingers in the sky above Huaying City. This Hu Xin was not dead, but The situation at this moment is strange, it seems like a parasitic soul or two souls merging.
Jiang Bo paused, then crawled forward as if nothing had happened, but his crawling was not smooth and he kept stumbling.
"We have the same hand and the same foot."
Jiang Bo was stunned for a moment, and quickly adjusted his posture. After moving again, he finally realized that he was not a beast but a human.
When I straightened up again, my head was still drooping, but I didn't dare to leave.
"Shen... Fairy Shen. Long time no see." Jiang Bo said, "The situation was indeed critical at that time. Until now, I am both Hu Xin and Jiang Bo."
Jiang Bo talked about the situation at that time.
A few years ago, Jiang Bo came to the world of cultivation in Yangzhou. He was so frightened by the tough folk customs in Yangzhou that he could hardly move. His dark complexion was even more unique in Yangzhou. No matter how deeply he hid it, he was found out, and he was almost killed by several female cultivators. Di Zhengfa finally broke free, but accidentally broke into the territory of the evil cultivator. He was injured by the evil cultivator's secret method, and the filthy air eroded his body bit by bit. He wanted to leave Yangzhou quickly, but met the mysterious cultivator again. Juan appeared in this world and was accidentally involved. He lost several lives and his body was completely rotten in the end.
Hu Xin fell on the roadside, and Jiang Bo's carriage happened to be passing by. Hu Xin knew that he could only survive if his soul left his body, so he could only choose to possess Jiang Bo, who was only four or five years old at the time.
Jiang Bo was left alone in the grocery cart, while his parents and family entourage were taking care of his sick little son.
Hu Xin is just a Qi practitioner, and the power of his soul is not strong enough to take over his body, so he can only barely hide it like this.
During the period of possessing Jiang Bo, Hu Xin realized that Jiang Bo was not accidentally thrown into the grocery cart. This child was pitiful. He was predicted by the real person at birth to be the lone star of the evil god, and he had no destiny to be immortal. He was even a stove He was even forgotten by his family and was thrown into a corner. He ate leftovers at a young age, lived in a leaky place, and was bullied by the children nearby.
Hu Xin couldn't hold it back anymore, so he manipulated the child's body in the middle of the night, beat up a group of villains who bullied the child, and gave the child two more buns.
There was help from the first time and several times later. Not only did Jiang Bo himself find something unusual, but people around him also noticed something was wrong.
Soon someone from the family came to exorcise ghosts and demons.
That night, Hu Xin felt that a disaster was approaching and he was about to die soon. Finally, he sent a letter to Zhao Ning.
As soon as the message was cut off, a member of the Jiang family kicked open the dilapidated door, holding a demon-slaying whip.
Hu Xin accepted his fate, but he didn't expect Jiang Bo to stand up at this moment. The child's voice was sonorous and powerful, "I am not possessed by a demon, I have awakened the blood of the divine fox!"
Speaking of which, it is said that Yangzhou's cultivation world was the land of Qingqiu in ancient times, and the descendants of Yangzhou have more or less the blood of the ancient Qingqiu Fox Clan.
This sentence shocked everyone in the family, but they saw the child suddenly spread his arms and his mind was completely open.
Hu Xin was also stunned. He knew that the child's behavior was accepting him, coexisting with the sea of consciousness and merging souls.
He didn't know if the child understood what it meant, but Hu Xin knew that he had no other choice, so his soul dispersed and merged into the child's soul fire. The next moment, Hu Xin's power exploded, and the child's body immediately The phantom of the nine-tailed red fox appeared, frightening the family cultivator to take a few steps back. Finally, he put down his spiritual weapon and knelt in front of the child.
Souls merge, and from then on we share memories, bodies, and seas of consciousness. You are me, and I am you, until, over time, we become one person.
Obviously, the current Jiang Bo is in a state of harmony between Hu Xin and Xiao Jiang Bo. He has Hu Xin’s memory and strength, and also has Xiao Jiang Bo’s memory and life experience. The current Jiang Bo is in a new stage of character formation, such as The personalities shown by several teenagers just now are obviously not the true nature of Hu Xin and Xiao Jiang Bo.
"This is probably your opportunity." Zhao Ning could not deny this. Everything was inevitable and there was nothing to comment on.
But Jiang Bo said with a smile, "Fairy Shen, I still remember the dream I had in the Northern Cold Islands. Kyushu is so big. I have only been walking for a few decades, and there are still many places I have not visited. When my body reaches adulthood or After cultivating my demon power, I will start my journey again."
Zhao Ning was a little surprised at Jiang Bo's determination. He seemed to have a different kind of love for the entire Kyushu.
But then Jiang Bo came closer and rubbed his fingers together, "That's right, Fairy Shen, I've used up all your previous support, how about... that... give me some more?"
Even after becoming the new Jiang Bo, this aspect of Hu Xin's nature has not changed.
Zhao Ning raised her hand and pointed, and a spirit stone bag appeared in Jiang Bo's hand.
"Hey. As expected, the fairy is happy." He was very happy and praised continuously, "The fairy is kind, the fairy is blessed, and the fairy lives forever."
Zhao Ning gave him a half-hearted look, and Jiang Bo immediately covered up his words and only curled his lips into a silly smile.
"This is not your expense." Zhao Ning said suddenly. Jiang Bo opened his eyes and felt a thunderbolt from the clear sky.
"No, Fairy, this bag of spiritual stones is in my hands, why doesn't it count as a cost?" Jiang Bo's thoughts changed and he realized something, "Fairy Shen, do you want me to do something? Don't worry, I will Promise to give it your all.”
Zhao Ning suddenly asked inexplicably, "Do you like to play with snakes? Can you dance with snakes?"
Jiang Bo was confused, "Yes. This is the world of cultivation in Yangzhou. Except for Liu Erli who is afraid of snakes just now, who hasn't caught a few snakes? Just pinch them by seven inches and dance them casually."
Zhao Ning was silent, and then said, "Since you have been in Yangzhou these few years, then help me find a snake dancer. This is the reward."
Jiang Bo blinked.
"A green snake in one hand, a yellow snake in the other."
He blinked again and waited for a while to see Zhao Ning but still didn't speak.
"Gone?"
"Yeah. No more."
"This... how can I find this? I walked south in Yangzhou and looked everywhere, and seven or eight out of ten met the conditions for a fairy." Jiang Bo said with a bitter face, "Fairy, don't you think I am like this? It’s too easy to get the spirit stone, so try your best to toss me.”
"Yeah." Zhao Ning responded lightly.
"Huh?!" Jiang Bo almost provoked.
Fortunately, Zhao Ning added, "I am of great use to this person. If you can find him, you can go to Kunxuqing...Jijian Palace to find Lin Ying and explain your purpose. Even if she is not here, someone will give you more." Traveling around Kyushu."
After saying this, Jiang Bo's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "As long as there are spiritual stones, everything will be easy. Even if I search the entire Yangzhou, I will find it for you. I promise the fairy, it won't take a few years, at most ten." Years later, I can bring people to you."
Zhao Ning thought that this guy was bragging. After the two souls merged, Jiang Bo became arrogant.
"It's not urgent." Zhao Ning still reminded, "You don't need to fight like this..."
Zhao Ning paused for a moment before speaking, and glanced down. She saw a drunk male cultivator on the street under the eaves, dragging a female cultivator and saying that he wanted to practice dual cultivation with her.
None of the cultivators around him dared to step forward. This male cultivator, who was in the early stage of foundation building, released the pressure on his body and cleared the area immediately.
What a coincidence, this female cultivator Zhao Ning thought she looked kind, as if she had seen her before somewhere.
Zhao Ning only glanced at this, and the male cultivator froze on the spot. The female cultivator broke free from the restraint, but she had a hot temper. She picked up the bag of debris on the roadside and hit the male cultivator on the head.
"Xianzi Shen, who are you looking at?" Jiang Bo followed suit and glanced briefly, "Oh, that male cultivator must have drunk the Changmeng wine from Zuixian Tower. This wine can even make Jindan Master drunk. Good wine, you know, in the world of Yangzhou cultivation, when cultivators are confused and don’t think about anything else, they only think about dual cultivation.”
"Do you know that female cultivator?" Zhao Ning asked casually.
"I know you." Jiang Bo replied with certainty, "Isn't that the Little Bamboo Fairy from Qingyue Palace? She is the disciple of the master of Qingyue Palace, and many people are fawning over her!"
"Xiaozhu?" Zhao Ning paused, with a fiery temper. He had beaten the other party until she was conscious, and the other party realized who she had teased. She immediately lay on the ground pretending to be a corpse and let him be slaughtered. Is this female cultivator the timid Xiaozhu from Qingyue Temple back then?
Zhiyue is good at raising children.
After the beating was almost done, Xiaozhu stopped, snorted, and walked away proudly.
"She seems to know Fairy Shen? Why don't you stop her?"
"No." Zhao Ning said, "Is the predecessor of Qingyue Palace the Qingyue Temple on the edge of Yangzhou, and the palace owner's name is Zhiyue?"
"Fairy Shen knows it very well." Jiang Bo introduced a few words more insightfully, "The Qingyue Palace was built ten years ago, on the former site of Qingyue Temple.
I heard that there was trouble in Qingyue Temple, and many female cultivators died. Zhiyue, the temple leader at that time, was not in the temple. When he came back, he discovered this situation. He was so angry that he went to the Heyi Sect to settle the score, but was detained in Heyi. In the sect, they didn’t expect that ten years ago, the master of Zhiyue Palace suddenly formed a middle-grade golden elixir, killed many people from the Heyi sect, left the Heyi sect directly, and established the Qingyue Palace. "
Zhao Ning never thought that such a disaster would happen when Zhiyue left in a hurry.
She frowned slightly, "I understand, it's sunset, you should go back first."
Jiang Bo blinked, "Fairy Shen, don't you want to take a look anymore? There have been many gatherings recently, and there are many spiritual creatures in the market."
"No." Zhao Ning said, "Don't forget about the snake dancer. See you later."
As he spoke, he took a step forward and disappeared on the roof.
Jiang Bo stood on tiptoe and watched to make sure that Zhao Ning had not fallen into Fangshi. He disappeared in an instant and asked, "Did it form a golden elixir?"
"Terrible." Jiang Bo got excited and subconsciously walked away. After walking a few steps, he straightened up and shook it off in disgust.
Since the fusion, some of Hu Xin's fox demon instincts have been exposed.
Zhao Ning left Huaying City directly. Before Zhiyue left, she asked Zhao Ning to visit her. More than thirty years had passed. If she hadn't met Xiaozhu in Huaying City, Zhao Ning would have left Yangzhou directly.
Thinking of Zhiyue's experience, Zhao Ning felt that she still needed to visit.
The Qingyue Temple that year no longer exists, and has now become a magnificent palace. The palace walls have been expanded, covering an area of dozens of acres. The palace doors are locked, but the one-foot-tall stone beasts on both sides are obviously blessed by the beast spirits. Hearing a sound, he immediately opened his eyes, looked past Zhao Ning, and looked behind him.
Zhao Ning hides his figure, and this stone beast cannot capture Zhao Ning's figure at all.
But he saw a carriage coming from behind. There were three people sitting in the carriage. A female cultivator was driving the carriage, and two male Qi-refining cultivators were sitting in the carriage. They were tied with cloaks, and the cloaks covered their faces, hiding their appearance.
"We're here." The female cultivator drove the carriage to the door, jumped out of the carriage, raised her hand and showed a flower token. The stone beast recognized it as an identity token and closed its eyes.
"Come down, don't waste time." The female cultivator shouted inside.
The two male cultivators slowly got off the carriage and looked up at the tall palace gate, revealing their handsome faces under the hoods, each with its own characteristics.
They sighed slightly, only to hear the female cultivator urge, "Don't look at it, it's a waste of time." After saying that, they led the two of them into Qingyue Palace.
Zhao Ning had some doubts for a moment. Then, another carriage came, with the same configuration as the previous one. The female cultivator led two male cultivators and went straight in.
She paused, remembering Zhiyue's temperament in searching for a couple of monks in Chihuang City, and she seemed to have guessed something about it.
Revealing their figures, the stone beasts opened their eyes and were about to roar, but their keen senses instantly made them swallow their roars, and instead lowered their heads in shrinking manner, as if they did not exist.
A ray of spiritual light penetrated into the Qingyue Palace, and Zhao Ning stood waiting outside the door.
At this time, the third carriage came. There were three male cultivators in the carriage. The female cultivator was still driving the horse in front, but the difference from before was that among the male cultivators there was another young man, about 28 years old, who was not wearing a hood. She covered her face and looked around with curiosity. Not satisfied with this, she kept talking to the male cultivator beside her, asking, "Can I see Palace Master Zhiyue directly?" "Palace Master Zhiyue is in the palace." Right?" "Qingyue Palace is so big!" "..."
"Okay." After listening all the way, the female horse driver became impatient and jumped out of the carriage, "I tell you, Young Master Yu, stop talking when you get to Qingyue Palace. The palace master doesn't like to listen to gossip."
"I'm not afraid. I have met Palace Master Zhiyue. She is very beautiful and gentle. She saved me from the evil cultivator. Palace Master must remember me."
The horse girl just wanted to roll her eyes.
But at this moment, the door suddenly opened to both sides, and Palace Master Zhiyue flew in wearing palace attire and full of joy.
"Look. I said that the palace master must remember me and come to pick me up." Young Master Yu was very happy and ran up to meet him. The two male cultivators next to him looked envious and the female cultivator driving the horse was astonished.
"Sister Zhiyue!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Mr. Yu shouted, Zhiyue flew past him and ran straight to the female cultivator not far away.
Hey, why are there other people? The same thought crossed the minds of several people present.
Zhiyue threw herself in front of Zhao Ning, "Zhao Ning! It's really you. When I heard the message, I thought it was a lie! It's been decades since I promised you to come here to visit, how could I not... Come on!"
"I broke the promise."
"It's okay, it's okay. You must have forgotten it as soon as you started practicing. You are already in the middle stage of the golden elixir. I thought I would form the golden elixir quickly." Zhiyue smiled brightly and held Zhao Ning's hand, "Let's go inside. chat."
As he said that, he was about to cast a spell to shrink the ground into a foot.
