It's like being pushed towards this road...
At that time, Zhao Ning was sitting in the library, sober and sad.
But he embarked on it without hesitation.
She didn't say anything more, and everyone didn't want to ask more questions, so they returned to talking about Shi Lei.
Shi Yueze said, "What is going on with this Shi Lei? I heard that he is a talented disciple of your Qingxiao Sect. He has been in the middle stage of the Golden Core for a hundred years. How could he mess with the Fire Cloud Sect?"
"We are also worried about this." Hong Jie said, "The problem now is that Shi Lei came back, but he seems to have suddenly disappeared."
"How to say?"
"The disciple just reported back that his identity token appeared at the outer gate, but people searched the inner and outer gates and even used soul lamps to lock it, but they couldn't find the location."
"Either he came back but deliberately threw away the identity token and left, or someone used the identity token to deliberately attract the attention of the old ghost Hongyun..." Ji Xiu speculated.
But Hong Jie said, "These two possibilities are not very big. Not to mention that Shi Lei's character has been tested, but because of the special status of this identity token, there is no need to directly introduce it to the sect."
"So, I have another possibility, which is the most likely." Ji Xiu said solemnly, "He was taken away by someone in the sect, or even kidnapped."
Shi Yueze said "Oh", "This is easy to handle."
As he spoke, a burst of spiritual light was fired, and the spell was turned around, only to see the identity token circle around, and the aura on it was connected. Then there was a faint flash of light and shadow, which was fleeting, but it was enough to make everyone See the truth.
Shi Lei's was "abducted". She was a female cultivator with bright and rich facial features.
During the dispute between the two, Shi Lei was secretly tricked by the female cultivator out of anger, and was finally taken away. Shi Lei's identity token was dropped at that time.
"Who is this?"
"Not from Qingxiao Sect."
"It looks very unfamiliar to me. It doesn't look like the real Jin Dan from Kunxu."
"Fairy Yanran." At this moment, Zhao Ning suddenly pointed out the female cultivator's name.
Everyone was stunned, and Shi Yueze turned to look at Zhao Ning, "Could he be the disciple of Lord Yanyue?"
On the surface, Yanran is indeed the disciple of Lord Yanyue.
Zhao Ning nodded.
Hong Jie frowned, "It seems that we have to go to Yanzhou to visit Luoyue Valley."
"Luoyue Valley?" Zhao Ning asked, "What happened to the Purple Flame Sect?"
Shi Yueze introduced, "In the past few decades since you were away, earth-shaking changes have taken place in Yanzhou. The Ziyan Sect is the most intuitive. Their two forces directly divided into two factions, one is the Ziyan Sect, and the other is the Ziyan Sect. It’s Luoyue Valley.”
"And Zhao Ning may still know the person who caused all this."
Receiving Zhao Ning's slightly doubtful look, he said, "Do you remember the Xiang Hongxuan you met at the sword fighting conference? He destroyed the Ziyan Sect's altar and exposed the Ziyan Sect's exchange for golden elixirs. , in the end, countless families and sects in Jiuzhou came to question them, and it was no longer possible for them to coexist in one sect, so they split into sects. Many top-grade Jindan real people left or died as a result."
Back then, Xiang Hongxuan from Wangxian Death City offered his own life to beg the Ziyan Sect to destroy the sect, but Zhao Ning did not respond. However, Xiang Hongxuan actually broke into the Ziyan Sect.
"Although he is silent now, we think he must be hiding somewhere."
"Yes." Zhao Ning didn't ask any further questions. She looked up at Hong Jie and said, "I'm going to visit Luoyue Valley."
Everyone didn't think much about it. Zhao Ning was Master Yuanying of Qingxiao Sect, so it was more suitable to go there than Master Jindan.
"Then I'm sorry." Hong Jie cupped his hands and said, "Whether it was Shi Lei who killed Li Yangze for no reason or for some other reason, whether it was punishment or protection, we have to find him and ask him to find out the truth."
Zhao Ning responded, and she stood up, as if she wasn't going to stay any longer and was leaving now.
Nascent Soul's back and forth was no more than the blink of an eye, so they didn't pay attention.
Hong Jie and Ji Xiu got up to see him off.
The void in front of Zhao Ning slowly shattered, forming a twisted passage. Before taking a step forward, she suddenly turned around and asked, "Is Ting Lan in the sect?"
Hong Jie and the other two obviously did not expect that Zhao Ning was asking this question. After being stunned for a moment, Hong Jie said, "She is not here."
But Zhao Ning walked in without saying anything, and the void shattered and recovered.
Hong Jie suddenly paused, "Speaking of which, Ting Lan seems to have been out for decades. It seems that the reason for reporting with the sect was because he went to Yangzhou. Could it be that Zhao Ning means that it is related to Shi Lei?"
"Even I have heard that your Master Shi Lei and Master Ting Lan are a natural match. They are Taoist lovers."
Shi Yueze said with a smile.
Hong Jie didn't know that Shi Yueze was in such a gossipy mood.
Shi Yueze rarely explained, "At my Nascent Soul Ceremony, the people from your sect had a great time chatting."
Hong Jie was startled, and then heard Shi Yueze ask again, "Now that Zhao Ning is back, when will your sect prepare to hold the Nascent Soul Ceremony for her?"
Hong Jie had already thought about it, "When the master comes back, I will inform Jiuzhou at any time after asking for instructions."
He said solemnly, but he felt something was wrong after he finished speaking. He never heard Ji Xiu's voice. When he turned around, he saw that Ji Xiu was still in a daze.
"What are you thinking, so lost in thought?"
"I always feel that something is wrong." Ji Xiu wiped his chin and thought about it, looking at the place where Zhao Ning left.
Hong Jie was stunned for a moment, and then he was confused, "What's wrong? Isn't this the same as before? It's cold, quiet and quiet."
Ji Xiu thought for a while, there must be something.
Shi Yueze suddenly said, "I noticed it too."
The two of them looked at him, and he said after careful consideration, "I don't seem to have heard her mention Lao Qin."
Hong Jie and Ji Xiu looked at each other, and Ji Xiu said with some caution, "Zhao Ning came back after the restoration of the sect, and when they chatted, they seemed to be inseparable..."
Hong Jie coughed and said, "We must be worrying too much. We have been talking about Shi Lei today, how can we have the chance to mention the first one."
The three people looked at each other and called, and no one knew who echoed, "It seems... right."
After a while, Shi Yueze stood up and said, "Okay, don't think too much, I'm going back. Remember to be the first one to notify me of the Nascent Soul Recruitment Ceremony later."
Hong Jie and Ji Xiu handed them over as gifts.
Zhao Ning Shattered the Void took one step to Yanzhou, roughly calculated the location of Luoyue Valley, and took another step to appear outside Luoyue Valley.
She didn't kowtow or remind her, she just stood outside the door. Soon, several real people came out of the valley in a hurry and stood in front of Zhao Ning to greet him.
A voice floated to Zhao Ning's ears, "Zhao Ning, congratulations on Nascent Soul."
The voice was soft, and it was the voice of Venerable Biyue.
The leader was the valley owner Mo Lang. Mo Lang respectfully asked, "Master, please come with me."
The light in Luoyue Valley is dim, and all the scenery and objects in the valley are very different from the style of Yanzhou. Everything here glows with a faint brilliance in the dimness, looking soft and calm. There is a sea of flowers all around, and all kinds of spiritual flowers are dancing in the breeze. A wave of brilliance is formed in the water, and dots of fireflies dance in the wave, which is so beautiful and addictive.
The deepest part of the valley is a cave. Once inside, you will see the bizarre cave wonders and the uncanny workmanship of nature everywhere.
Going inward, it suddenly opened up again. Zhao Ning looked around for a few times, seeming to be a little lost in thought. On the contrary, the practice place surrounded by gauze curtains in the front failed to attract attention.
"What are you looking at again?" a female voice behind the gauze asked softly, and she waved her hand to let Mo Lang leave.
Zhao Ning bowed and said, "Venerable Yanyue."
He added, "I feel deeply that everything in this cave is natural and has the right path."
"I just found it by chance." The woman in the gauze raised her finger, and the gauze lifted up, revealing a stunning face that seemed to captivate the world. It was somewhat similar to Fairy Yanran, but far superior to her.
"sit."
Zhao Ning sat down diagonally beside her.
Venerable Biyue glanced at her, with a gentle smile on his lips, "The first time I met you was when Yanran went to Kunxu to play. Later when I saw you, the little fairy struggled in the hands of the black dragon to achieve the golden elixir of innate good fortune. , it’s really extraordinary. Now we meet again, it’s Nascent Soul. Time really flies by.”
Zhao Ning also said, "A hundred years have passed since I started practicing cultivation, and I still feel in a daze."
"It's just a hundred years." Venerable Biyue covered his mouth and said with a smile, "There will be thousands, tens of thousands of years after that. There is no need to be obsessed with the present."
Zhao Ning looked at her quietly and said nothing.
Venerable Biyue changed the subject again, "I know why you came back. That child Yanran is trapped by love just like I was back then."
She shook her head, "I don't want to get involved in things between children. Yanran is not me, and Shi Lei is not... Haoyang."
"Fairy Yanran seems to be about the same age as me now."
"Yes, this is not a secret." Venerable Biyue said, "Back then, I was trapped in a bad fate and caused her to die before she was full-term. Later, I worked hard to use secret methods to send her to reincarnation, and I searched for her for three thousand years before I found her. Reincarnation.”
But it took him an unknown number of lives before he awakened his bloodline, so he only addressed himself as master and disciple to the outside world.
After being lost and found again, Venerable Biyue was extremely distressed. She was controlled by everything, but there was only one thing that she was not allowed to participate in, and that was... Haoyang's matter.
"That year in Kunxu, Zhao Ning was lucky enough to meet Fairy Yan Ran and give her the best fire-avoiding talisman, so she could avoid the assassination attempt by the people of Haoyang inheritance." Zhao Ning bowed again, "Zhao Ning has always kept it in mind, and I am very grateful."
Venerable Biyue chuckled, "Don't worry too much. This child just wants to destroy the trick of that person's successor. I once told her about my past with that person, and the child has always been angry with that person. When I heard that When someone similar to that person appeared, she followed the sect representative to Kunxu while my Tiangong was on duty. She made such a fuss, and I don’t know how many causes and effects were forced on her. Fortunately, everything followed that person. and his successors vanished into ashes.”
Her tone was very gentle and she didn't want to mention Haoyang's name, but she no longer had any emotions about Haoyang, and she didn't know how heartbroken she was back then.
When Xu Shi mentioned Haoyang and Kunxu, she shook her head again, "They are all sins."
Zhao Ning then asked, "Is he from Jiuzhou?"
"Yes." Venerable Biyue said, "He wanted to return to Jiuzhou from Shixu. Not only did he fail, but he also lost his original intention, joined forces with the demon, and turned his heart into a demon."
At that time, Master Lingxiao of the Qingxiao Sect lamented that Kunxu allowed him to do whatever he wanted. It was not clear at first, but now it is clear. Kunxu was looking forward to whether he could open a passage to Jiuzhou from Shixu, but he did not want to open it. caused an unforeseen disaster.
"It's so difficult to go to Jiuzhou."
Venerable Biyue sighed with emotion.
She suddenly leaned forward and pressed her palm lightly on the back of Zhao Ning's hand, "Zhao Ning, you are an exception. You have to be guided by the way of heaven. If you prove your soul, you can go directly to Jiuzhou where the way of heaven is. You are an exception in the whole of Jiuzhou."
Even Venerable Biyue looked forward to it, "Don't worry, it will only take a thousand years."
From the early stage of the Nascent Soul to the Great Consummation of the Nascent Soul, and then from the Great Consummation of the Nascent Soul to the transformation into a spirit, a thousand years is an ideal time, but more is the sadness of running out of life and having no hope of becoming a spirit.
"The period of time is coming, and a thousand years seems too far away."
"It turns out that you already know about the period of time." Venerable Biyue was surprised. "But you don't have to worry. In these five thousand years, the Heavenly Palace is not unprepared. Just practice with peace of mind and realize the soul."
The implication is that there is no other way to go to Jiuzhou. If possible, they will not be trapped in Jiuzhou or trapped in the first calamity of the soul, but fully expect Zhao Ning, the only exception here.
Zhao Ning lowered his eyes.
After not speaking for a long time, he stood up and said, "I don't know where Shi Lei is. Although we are not involved in the grudge between him and Fairy Yanran, he seems to have caused a lot of trouble in Yangzhou, which angered Elder Hongyun of the Fire Cloud Sect. The ghost personally went to Qingxiao Sect to crusade, and the reason behind this must be understood clearly."
Venerable Biyue suddenly realized, "They are in Youfeng Stream. You can ask Mo Lang to take you there directly. These two people...hey..."
