The crazy and lost woman in front of me is... Xiaozhu.
The child who accompanied Zhiyue from Qingyue Temple all the way to the peak of Qingyue Palace, now her three souls of heaven, earth and human have lost the two souls of heaven and earth, leaving only the human soul.
The human soul controls life, so she is still alive, but what is the meaning of living like this and dying like this.
He Jie took out a hairpin, and there was Zhiyue's breath on the hairpin. Xiaozhu came close to her, stretched out his hand to touch the hairpin, and touched the falling beads of the hairpin. He seemed to be amused and kept fiddling with it.
"Why did she become what she is now?" Zhao Ning asked.
He Jie brushed Xiaozhu's head and said, "It's to save Zhiyue."
He turned to look at Zhao Ning, "Boss Shen, do you know the situation in Yanzhou now? The Ziyan Sect is still here, so do you know who the current leader of the Ziyan Sect is?"
Zhao Ning was silent.
He said, "Boss Xiang, no, I should call you Xiang Hongxuan."
There was a cold look in his eyes, "Those who slay dragons will eventually become evil dragons."
Zhao Ningneng understood what he meant, "Did Xiang Hongxuan attack Zhiyue?"
"Yes." He Jie said, "He wanted to kill Zhiyue. He said that he was deceived by Zhiyue and said that Zhiyue was a devil. It was really a joke. Zhiyue didn't say a word because he was a former friend. , willing to stand up and let him have a try, he really smashed Zhiyue's life soul with one blow in front of the entire Yangzhou and Yanzhou sect Immortal City."
He Jie lowered his head, brushed the scattered hair on Xiaozhu's forehead, and lifted the hairpin. Xiaozhu raised his hand to chase after him crazily, but He Jie held him down, and then put the hairpin in Xiaozhu's hair.
"Xiao Zhu, used her soul of heaven and earth to repair Zhiyue's life soul."
"yes."
He Jie stretched out his hand to Xiaozhu, "Xiaozhu, let's go."
But when he touched Xiaozhu, Xiaozhu slapped him crazily, "I won't go, I won't go, I will stay here, I won't go anywhere, I want to wait for the palace master to come back and let me go."
He Jie was still trying to control Xiaozhu. He didn't use any magic. However, he went to grab her with his bare hands, but Xiaozhu bit her on the wrist. He Jie didn't seem to feel anything, and just held her in his arms. The light in the palm of his hand spread, and Xiaozhu fainted.
"She doesn't want to leave," Zhao Ning said.
He Jie had already picked up Xiaozhu, "I know that for so many years, we have not forced her to leave, but this time is different. In a hundred days, it will be Yuanhua's Thousand Birthday Banquet. Boss Shen must have known that, but that is not only It’s not only the Thousand Birthday Banquet, but also Zhiyue’s wedding.”
Zhao Ning stopped talking. She was surprised but also had a vague feeling. Everyone said that the Tianyang Immortal Sect and the Ye family were one. If an outsider other than Zhiyue climbed to the top of the Tianyang Immortal Sect, how could it not be involved with the Ye family. After Ye Feng dies, the Ye family becomes the domain of his right-hand man, Elder Yuan Hua. The best and easiest way to get involved is... to join the family.
He Jie carried Xiaozhu out and Zhao Ning was silent for a moment and followed He Jie.
At the door, he turned around and said with a smile, "Boss Shen is here to see Zhiyue, why don't you go to Tianyang Immortal Sect with me?"
Zhao Ning came here to look for the aura of Fan Jun's son, but when the door of Qingyue Palace opened, the aura was hidden without a trace except for the dusty light and shadow.
She looked at the sincere smile on He Jie's lips. She paused and refused, "I came with others, and I will visit the Tianyang Immortal Sect with them at the right time."
He Jie was slightly surprised, but didn't say anything more. He just nodded, "Well, see you later, Boss Shen."
Zhao Ning nodded, He Jie turned to hug Xiaozhu and turned into a stream of light and flew away.
At this moment, silence returned to the Qingyue Palace. Her consciousness swept across the Qingyue Palace without missing an inch. As expected, there were no clues.
He put his hands behind his back, raised his eyes, and looked at the direction in which He Jie was going, wondering what he was thinking.
The next moment, Zhao Ning's figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
In Yunfang City, Zhao Ning entered the small courtyard of the inn. In the main hall, Peng Jue, Shang Xia and others were there.
Peng Jianzheng smiled and said to Shang Xia, "Then I can leave this birthday gift to you, don't worry about the spirit stone." After saying that, he raised his hand and threw a storage ring to Shang Xia.
Shang Xia knew that it contained spiritual stones without even looking at them. Shang Xia refused, "Senior Yan, you help me create the spiritual treasure and spirit fetus. It is already consumed. I should come up with the spiritual stones."
"Hahaha." Peng Jue pointed at him and smiled, "I'm going to pay a visit to the Tianyang Immortal Sect, but why do you still have the gift of spending spiritual stones as a gift from you juniors? What you consume is what you consume, it's just spiritual stones. But hurry up and go."
Shang Xia knew that he could not reciprocate, so he had to stand up and salute Peng Jue, and Zhong Wenyan and others followed suit.
When the four of them went out, they happened to meet Zhao Ning who had returned. Seeing her walking slowly with a cane, Shang Xia subconsciously reached out to help her.
"Auntie, you are back."
Yanyu helped the other side, "Grandma, where have you been? Why didn't you take Yanyu with you? Yanyu is so worried."
Old God Peng Jue was sitting on the couch, pouring tea and watching these juniors helping Zhao Ning with a smile. He always felt that the scene was a bit funny and cute.
"Meet an old friend." Zhao Ning said calmly.
"Oh? Are you from Yangzhou, or are you here for the Tianyang Immortal Sect's Thousand Life Ceremony?" Yanyu asked curiously.
Zhao Ning sat on the main seat and said, "It doesn't all count."
She reached out and took the tea that Peng Jing had just poured. The tea was freshly boiled and the tea cup was just opened. Peng Jing pointed at Zhao Ning with a smile, without saying anything, and opened another tea cup and poured it again. One cup.
But Zhao Ning did not drink tea, but just watched the tea leaves floating on the surface of the tea. The color of the tea cup was brown, which made the tea appear extremely dark, as if the tea cup had faded.
Peng Jue glanced at her, then turned to Shang Xia and said, "Then get a little bit of it. Don't stand here anymore. According to your great-aunt, I think this friend has a lot of background." He touched it. Touching his chin, "Then we can't afford less pomp."
Then he gave Shang Xia a message, "How about birthday gifts? You are making some limelight along the way."
"Ah?" Shang Xia didn't understand for a while, and the others were also confused.
Peng Jue looked at them and sighed, "Just take a look at the Yangxian Sect's rogue frame that morning, and create a scene that suits your great-aunt...my realm."
The four of them were still confused and didn't understand why they did this, but Peng Jian had already said so, so they couldn't ask any more questions, so they agreed and left together.
After they left, Peng Jue asked Zhao Ning, "What? Are there any clues?"
"Yes." Zhao Ning answered simply. She put the tea cup on the table, but didn't say anything for a while.
"Very tricky?"
"No." Zhao Ning denied, which made Peng Jue even more interested. He just leaned on the low table and stared at Zhao Ning, as if he was sure to get more joy. Zhao Ning said, "I'm not sure."
"Hahahaha." Unexpectedly, Peng Jue burst out laughing. He even leaned up on the couch beside the couch without caring about his image, pointed at Zhao Ning and laughed until he was out of breath, "Don't you dare? Zhao Ning Ah Zhao Ning, this is not what you said. Look at you, you are in your twenties to build the foundation, and you are already in the late Nascent Soul stage of two hundred years old. Although Peng does not know the suffering contained in this opportunity, You can more or less guess it, you should be fearless of heaven and earth, even if you hesitate, there is a heavenly palace protecting you above, why should you be afraid?"
Zhao Ning wanted to say that for more than two hundred years, she, Zhao Ning, has never been a fearless person. All her determination and determination are nothing but stubbornness. What's more, after more than two hundred years, there have been so many hardships along the way. It was the sky that my uncle had held up in advance.
She said, "It's not that I'm afraid. If I were sure, I would have cut him clean with this sword. However, I don't understand why the goodness of nature can't stand up to the changes in the world."
Peng Jue suddenly fell silent. He lowered his head and looked at the tea. He seemed unhappy when he saw the floating tea leaves. He simply gathered a light to pick down the tea leaves, and then drank the tea in one gulp.
Then he asked, "Are you really seeing the goodness of nature?"
Zhao Ning paused and looked at him slowly. Her expression was negative but in fact her eyes were calm. She already had the answer in her heart.
Peng Jue seemed to be talking about herself casually, "You know my Taoist companion of a thousand years. Before the initial marriage, I knew her to be extremely pure and kind, and she greeted everyone in the family attentively. After the marriage, she became even more so. The two families are well managed, and anyone in the family will say that this woman is a blessing to the family. Until one day, I learned that when she built the foundation and killed the mortal, she killed her mortal love. "
"She is from the world of cultivation, why would she go to the secular world to cut off her love relationship?"
"Because only those who have experienced killing mortals can knock on the door of high-grade golden elixirs." Peng Jue said, "I don't know if she deliberately approached the ordinary people. I only know that her child who is pregnant with ordinary people will be there." When the ordinary people were overjoyed, he gave birth to the baby in front of the ordinary people, revealed everything, and killed him in the despair of the ordinary people."
"I should have wiped out our names in front of the Tiandao Monument with her, but both families are supported by her, how can I be influenced by my emotions. In a thousand years, such a cruel thing is not It never happened, but everything was for the sake of the family, so I had no choice but to turn a blind eye."
"But you still reincarnated her when she passed away after a thousand years."
"Yes." Peng Jue closed his eyes, "So, Xiao Zhao Ning, you see, my Taoist partner is not a good person, and I am not a good person either. Everything is just an appearance, just weighing the pros and cons."
This sentence seems familiar, immortals are not immortals, the right path is not right, human nature contains evil, so demons look around. This is what Zhao Ning should have known since the Kunxu Demon Rebellion.
Zhao Ning let out a long sigh.
She said, "That's all. Now that we're in this situation, there's no need to tie our hands and feet."
Peng Jue looked up at her, "Have you discovered the truth?"
Zhao Ning did not answer, only said, "I'm probably going to wrong Shang Xia again."
Chapter 291
Two months later, at the entrance of Qingyue Palace.
Shang Xia and his four people stood here. Shang Xia looked at the door carefully and felt extremely depressed. Others also felt it.
Yanyu directly hugged Zhong Wenyan's arm and said, "We really want to enter here, why do we always feel that it is so eerie here."
"Senior Yan said that someone is trapped in the formation here. Let's see if we can rescue him." Shang Xia said, "It will be very useful in solving the dream that day."
Since that night's dream, Yunfang Xianyuan City has never had such a common decadent dream. However, later, some strange things happened in Yunfang Xianyuan City. Male cultivators often crouched against a certain wall and vomited. Sometimes I will hold my lower abdomen and feel like there is a lump in my lower abdomen.
Some people even rushed directly into the ancient medical clinic and asked the doctor whether they might be pregnant.
Although this speculation was denied by the medical practitioners and became the laughing stock of Yunfang Xianyuan City for a period of time, such things still happened every day.
Sometimes even Shan Shu subconsciously clutches his stomach, always feeling that something is wrong with him, but fortunately he is just being influenced by the atmosphere and deceiving himself.
"If you are afraid, you should go back first." Zhong Wenyan reminded Yanyu.
But Yanyu hugged her tighter, "I don't. I asked Senior Yan, and Senior Yan said he can come in."
In the end, everyone did not waste any more time outside. Shang Xia said, "It's better to go in and investigate the situation first. Senior Yan will definitely protect us in the dark. Don't alert the snake, find the clues first."
"Yeah!" Everyone responded, helping each other and warning each other, and walked into the empty Qingyue Palace together.
On the gate of Qingyue Palace, two figures stood silently, and ordinary people could not see their traces.
"Are you sure that Fan Jun's son you mentioned is still hiding here?" Peng Jue stared at the huge Qingyue Palace, feeling the same as Zhao Ning at first, and did not notice anything unusual, "You came back here, I also met someone, and I’m afraid I’ve been alarmed.”
A calm voice answered him, "Sometimes the most obvious things are the ones that are most easily overlooked."
Peng Jue stopped questioning and just stared at Shang Xia's back, "Let's see if they have this ability."
Shang Xia and others continued to explore the inside of Qingyue Palace, crossed the square, and entered the main hall. The main hall was still in the same state as when Zhao Ningyue came, but for them it was a different look.
"I feel so oppressive here," Shan Shu said.
Zhong Wenyan answered him, "This is the Immortal Sect created by Zhiyue Sect Master before she became powerful. She handles matters in Qingyue Palace here all the year round. Master Yuanying's aura probably remains here. Moreover, I also heard that a divine figure like Lord Yuanshen visited here in person more than a hundred years ago."
Yanyu was puzzled, "How could such a grand place where the Lord came to be so abandoned? I thought I should be like the Sword Emperor Sect in Bianzhou Cultivation World, and directly enshrine the place where the Lord came, or even put the sect Change the door names to those related to the Venerable."
Zhong Wenyan smiled and said, "That means they have a relationship with the Sword Emperor and are of the same lineage as them."
Everyone looked at the hall, then dispersed to search the corners of the hall. When they gathered in the center, they all shook their heads and found nothing.
This was just the beginning, so everyone didn't think much and continued to explore the depths of Qingyue Palace from the side door.
Almost every corner of the Qingyue Palace was spared, and even the dry wells and underground secret rooms in the Qingyue Palace were searched. They also carefully inspected the room where Xiaozhu was originally, but could not come to any conclusion.
Everyone gathered in the open space behind the hall and exchanged their search results. The final results were all negative.
Shang Xia frowned and asked everyone to talk together. After walking around Qingyue Palace, he intuitively felt that something was wrong.
