In the past, the outer sect of Qingxiao Sect also recruited disciples through Qingfeng Temple, but it had never been seen with such fanfare.
"Is this an arrangement from Tiangong?"
Shang Xia was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "My great-aunt knows things well. The Heavenly Palace passed down a decree a few years ago, saying that all the major cultivation worlds have no successors. Now that the world is at peace, you can search for disciples in the world."
"As a result, almost all the major sects in the world of cultivation went deep into the common world to recruit disciples. When we first arrived in the common world, ordinary people thought that gods had fallen from the sky." Shang Xia found it interesting when he recalled the scene that year, "We mentioned that we were recruiting disciples. To practice Taoism, all the secular dynasties cooperated and gathered tens of millions of children, but in the end only these have good qualifications."
"The competition is fierce. We have worked very hard to get here." A child interjected.
When the crisis was over, the children became more lively and even tried to get closer to Zhao Ning.
They raised their little heads and gathered around, shouting "Sister Fairy" one after another, asking why Zhao Ning was the "grand aunt" of the immortal master, and asking if they could fly in the air like her...
Zhao Ning knelt down and answered them one by one. The children became more active and started making noises all the way to the entrance of Qingxiao Sect.
Seeing that he was finally freed from the thousand and one questions, Shang Xia quickly said, "Don't pester your great aunt anymore. We have arrived at the sect, but don't forget the little rules I told you before."
The children immediately stopped talking and arranged themselves neatly, but their eyes were still chattering, looking at the towering mountains and magnificent buildings below.
Shang Xia said goodbye to Zhao Ning, "Auntie, I will send them to the General Affairs Hall."
"Yes." Zhao Ning responded, then stopped lingering on Yun Zhou, and as soon as he turned around, the figure dispersed.
The children were so excited that they got up and wanted to chase Zhao Ning's figure to see where he went.
He was suppressed by Shang Xia's pretentious "Huh?"
Zhao Ning went straight to the Patriarch's Hall. When the bad omen became inevitable, some preparations were no longer needed.
She was going to get back the ancient dragon-patterned jade pendant.
Step by step on the high platform of the Patriarch Hall, Zhao Ning had many thoughts running through his mind, thinking about the stalemate between the sparrow demon and the little demon emperor, thinking about the struggle among the Nascent Soul monks, thinking about the endless despair in the endless world, and thinking about Qi Yun'er. The intimacy with Xiao Jiang, and the laughter of the children...
Amid many thoughts, she stepped into the Patriarch's Hall.
But at this moment, her steps paused, her eyes dropped to her toes, but her emotions were already sensing something.
She slowly raised her eyes.
But under the statue of the Patriarch, he saw a man standing with his hands behind his back. The mountain stood against the abyss. He was wearing a vigorous cloud robe, wrapped in a coldness and chill. He turned around, his sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes showed a smile, and all the coldness disappeared.
He called, "Zhao Ning."
Before that, Zhao Ning imagined countless reunions in her mind, but they fell silent over hundreds of years.
Up to this moment, there was no warning, but it came back like a mountain.
She murmured, "Uncle Master..."
Chapter 303
Zhao Ning approached him step by step until she stopped three feet in front of him. She looked up at him, as if to determine whether the uncle in front of her was the real uncle.
Nascent Soul's cultivation and perception seem untrustworthy at this moment, only...
Zhao Ning slowly raised her hand, as if her fingertips were about to touch him. Qin Keyuan stretched out his hand to hold it, but Zhao Ning paused just before the touch. She saw the fingertips overlap with the clothes.
Zhao Ning got the answer, her right hand dropped, and she tilted her head slightly, as if she was enduring something.
"Zhao Ning." Qin Keyuan suddenly said, "You are afraid. Uncle Master can feel it."
He stretched out his hand and touched her cheek with his fingertips, but felt nothing about Zhao Ning.
The uncle in front of her was not real, just like Qin Keyuan sitting behind her on the steps of the Mangrove Courtyard, appearing to comfort her.
There was no reunion, but...she glowed with a silver glow that was unique to divine light. It was the power of her uncle's protection on her, and it was this power that brought a bond that transcended the natural chasm.
——"Uncle Master is always by your side."
It was as if you could feel the temperature of the palm on the side of your cheek. The cheek was slowly raised against the palm, which was an extremely restrained caress.
Zhao Ning did not deny what Qin Keyuan said, but what he said at this moment was without any cover-up or support.
"Ever since the Dayan incident, Zhao Ning has been feeling uneasy, always feeling that a disaster is coming. I tried to find the root cause from fragmentary clues and hints from heaven. Even if the person behind the red robe was truly revealed, this uneasiness still exists. On."
She wanted to get close to her uncle, but she didn't want to touch him. "A few years ago, I met Huiyan Pavilion. When Huiyan Pavilion predicted that going to the northwest of Kyushu would be a bad omen, uncle, I was very happy at that time. Even if there are many dangers, as long as I find the source of the uneasiness, I am not afraid of the danger. But, uncle, I failed. This life has been extremely smooth, from understanding the cause of Xi Xi's death to quelling the chaos in Youdu, from obtaining the Taiyi River Luojian Formation From the time the fragments were returned to the Fruit of the Great Path, the danger had not yet appeared, and the source had not emerged. The moment I touched the Fruit of the Great Path, I vaguely understood that the so-called disaster was just the beginning of my uneasy premonition turning into reality."
"Uncle Master, I know that since I entered the immortal path, I am destined to have a rough life and be punished by God. Zhao Ning has never been afraid or flinched."
"But this time, all my senses and senses are whispering to me that I may not be able to withstand this experience."
Her face was not as cold and calm as usual, but with a bit of grievance and sadness. She was still the little fairy who cried silently against Qin Keyuan's knee.
As her words deepened and her emotions reached the extreme, Zhao Ning still took half a step closer. The divine light was entangled and their chests were close to each other. She asked, "Uncle Master, nothing will happen to Jiuzhou, and you will always be by Zhao Ning's side, right?" "
"right."
He bent slightly, looked straight, and told Zhao Ning, "Don't let uneasiness block the way forward, Zhao Ning, if you hesitate to move forward, you are compromising your destiny. The period of time is coming, and my uncle is waiting for you." .”
Zhao Ning was stunned, then felt a hint of joy, "Uncle Master, are you in Shixu?"
"Yes." Qin Keyuan showed a slight smile, "Go to Shangtian Palace, they will make arrangements. Wait until the day of the Shixu period, and let my uncle give you a real hug."
He spread his hands slightly, a restrained movement that wanted to embrace but was restrained by illusion.
Zhao Ning tilted her head slightly, her expression unclear, and the tips of her ears half-hidden in her hair were slightly red.
Qin Keyuan raised his finger, and the ancient dragon-patterned jade pendant hidden under the soul lamp flew closer. A silver thread passed through the jade pendant and was tied around Zhao Ning's neck. Zhao Ning lowered his eyes and watched the jade pendant gradually disappear.
But Zhao Ning reached out and touched it, and it really existed, but it was not visible to the naked eye.
"Don't leave it behind again." Qin Keyuan's last words.
Zhao Ning raised her eyes and made a serious promise, "Okay."
He showed a smile, and his figure slowly disappeared. At this moment, Zhao Ning still couldn't hold back, and reached out to grab it, but it penetrated the virtual shadow.
The shadow leaned down, getting closer and closer...
"Grandma Auntie, why are you here?" At this moment, Shang Xia's voice suddenly came from outside, a bit hasty. As soon as he appeared, he stepped into the Patriarch's Hall, and saw a very touching scene. Ambiguous scene.
The tall man leaning over, the great-aunt holding her back... Fuck, Shang Xia spat in her heart, and imagined an intimate scene in her mind.
"I'm sorry!" Shang Xia turned her back subconsciously, still complaining in her heart. How could my cold, aloof, arrogant great-aunt, who is like the goddess of the Nine Heavens...
Qin Keyuan's shadow converged into the jade pendant with ancient dragon patterns. Zhao Ning stretched out her hand to touch it, but she could not see it but felt it.
She gathered her thoughts and engraved her uncle's instructions into her heart. Then she turned around and found Shang Xia behind her.
Zhao Ning wondered, "Shang Xia, when did you come in, and why did you turn your back to me?"
When Shang Xia heard the sound, he turned around hesitantly and saw that only the great aunt and grandma were standing there with a natural expression, and there was no figure of any tall man anywhere.
"Auntie, wasn't there just now..." Shang Xia was at a loss. He didn't notice when the other person left from the beginning to the end, and he had a trace of doubt about his cultivation in the Golden Core realm, "...I saw someone To my great-aunt..."
Zhao Ning looked at him calmly, "What will you do to me?"
Shang Xia was agitated, and was shocked by Zhao Ning's sudden self-identification as "Lao Shen", "No... nothing..." but he was full of curses in his heart. Could it be that he was really dazzled and was deceived by borrowing his position?
Zhao Ning walked to his side calmly and turned to look at him, "You want to see me if you have anything to do?"
"Oh, aren't you bringing back a lot of children with good qualifications? Sect Master Hong would like to ask if you have any intention of bringing a few children with you and remembering them by name." What Shang Xia said was that he would accept them as registered disciples and personally Training, wait until later to see if he is qualified to be a disciple and inherit the mantle, "Master Ji has also accepted a few children, saying that he has stayed in the sect these years and taught these children well."
"No need." Zhao Ning refused simply, "I don't like to get close to others, and I have no plans to recruit disciples. Please help me make it clear to Sect Leader Hong."
"Yes, great-aunt." She responded, but she was still muttering in her heart. She looked very close to the "person" just now, so who exactly is this "person," great-aunt?
Zhao Ning had already walked out of the Patriarch's Hall, and Shang Xia chased after him. Seeing Zhao Ning trying to fly away in the air, when he shouted, Zhao Ning had already flown dozens of feet in the air, "Auntie, are you leaving the clan again?"
Zhao Ning turned around lightly, the breeze blew her dress and hair, her fairy-like appearance cast a light glance.
Shang Xia was excited and hurriedly handed her over to send her away, "Goodbye, great-aunt. See you next time, great-aunt."
Zhao Ning did not fly away immediately. She only closed her hands and stood in the void, looking at the Patriarch's Palace. She thought of Uncle Master's words again and murmured, "So, Uncle Master, have you still agreed to Tiangong's request?"
Shang Xia couldn't hear Zhao Ning's muttering to herself, but watched in wonder as Zhao Ning stood still for a moment. After half a cup of tea, he turned his back to the sky. His eyes never moved away from the Patriarch's Hall, until he turned around and disappeared thousands of miles up in the sky.
What are you looking at? Shang Xia murmured in her heart again, her great-aunt didn't look like someone who worshiped her ancestor.
He rolled his eyes, raised his hand and clapped his hands, "Is it possible that that person is really my great-aunt?!"
"What great aunt?" At this moment, Ji Xiu's voice suddenly appeared. Shang Xia turned around and saw Ji Xiu appearing next to him, lazily raising her hand on his shoulder, "But I saw something extraordinary. , Master Tong Ji, I will discuss it carefully."
Shang Xia stared at him and felt that Ji Xiu was very unreliable. He frowned and shook his head.
After breaking away, he bowed politely and said, "Master Ji, I want to convey Grandma's words to Sect Leader Hong, so I'll take my leave now."
In the end, Ji Xiu was left alone, wiping his chin and thinking for a long time, "Is it possible that senior brother is back?"
Above the Heavenly Palace, it was extremely quiet today, and there was no Lord Yuanshen guarding the hall.
Zhao Ning was slightly confused, so she walked to the side door of the hall and heard the sound of conversation on the cloud platform outside the door.
"Shi Lei has been looking for you, but you are in the Heavenly Palace." The voice was not very familiar, but after thinking about the person speaking, Zhao Ning suddenly realized that it was Fairy Yanran, the daughter of Lord Biyue.
Yanran asked strangely, "You are not related to the seven venerables, so why are you in the Heavenly Palace? What is your identity?"
Zhao Ning stepped out of the side door, no one noticed. The other side of Yanran's words was Tinglan. Tinglan stood silently, letting Yanran circle around her.
"Today is a surprise." Yanran stood in front of her and stared at him, "You are neither the son of a genius, nor your cultivation level is more than a golden elixir. You appear here... What is your relationship with the outside world?"
The "outside" in her mouth certainly does not mean outside the Heavenly Palace, but outside the Nine Provinces.
Ting Lan was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the simple Fairy Yan Ran in front of her was actually very smart and knew a lot. However, Ting Lan didn't want to be exposed. "I don't understand what Fairy Yan Ran meant. I am here because I had to recruit someone back then." Master Ning came to my rescue and entrusted His Majesty to take care of him, so I was lucky enough to live in the Heavenly Palace. As for the search for Brother Sishi, I have been through hell once, and I only wanted to improve my cultivation, so I forgot to inform Brother Sishi."
"Don't change the subject vaguely." Yan Ran was very dissatisfied, "There are secrets of Kyushu everywhere in the Heavenly Palace. If you don't know anything, it's the only reason why there are ghosts. Master Ning is also recruited. Although she is extremely talented, she is not capable of instructing Yuan. The Lord God does things for her.”
"Fairy Yanran..." Tinglan seemed to be about to retort, but at this moment, she heard someone say, "You two."
Yanran and Tinglan both turned their eyes and were surprised to see Zhao Ning.
Zhao Ning did not mention the fight between them, but only asked, "Master Tiangong, why are you not guarding Tiangong today? Do you two know the reason?"
"Returning to the Master, I heard that someone survived the Divine Transformation Tribulation today." Tinglan replied respectfully, "A few days ago, Venerable Hao Chu also said that the Heavenly Palace Yuan Shen might have another one. So they all went to observe the Tribulation."
Zhao Ning was slightly shocked. After hundreds of years of practice, this was the only time he heard that someone had a high probability of succeeding in transforming into a god.
"Do you know who it is?"
Ting Lan shook his head.
Yanran interrupted at this time, "I know a little bit about him. I heard that he is a demon clan."
