Zhao Ning smiled and realized that he was lying at the door of the school just to learn some ancient proverbs.
Shang Xia looked at Qin Keyuan distressedly, "Sir Qin, you must have done it on purpose. You let us Yu Yu Jiuchongtian take a look at it, but we hit a wall as soon as we entered the city, let alone preaching... I don't even know the words on these plaques. Identify clearly.”
Qin Keyuan responded, "Compared to going directly to Jiuzhou, the experience here will be your later background."
Shang Xia blinked and didn't understand for a moment. Qin Keyuan continued, "Nine continents are vast, and there are many hidden sects in each continent. These sects may not have been passed down for millions of years, but the heavenly beings guarding them are even more powerful. It is a high realm, but it has actually survived for millions of years to this day.”
Shang Xia opened his eyes wide, and even Zhao Ning was surprised. He thought for a moment, "Uncle Master, do you want them to weave a background of a hidden sect or a powerful successor who just came out of the mountain?"
Before Qin Keyuan spoke, Shang Xia waved his hand, "This is too risky, and we haven't fully understood the language here yet."
He spoke in a low voice, but the Taoists and demons around him had clear ears and eyes. For a moment they couldn't understand what he said, so they cast curious glances.
At first Shang Xia and others were panicked, but later Shang Xia discovered that the Taoists here were all pure-hearted and kind, and would even walk up to him and gesture to ask him if he needed any help.
Shang Xia tentatively described it and was guided to the school by a demon clan.
Sure enough, a person also walked out nearby. He bowed first, and Shang Xia hurriedly returned the salute. Then he heard the Taoist ask with a smile, "Your Excellency, you come from an overseas fairy mountain and you don't understand the language of Yu Yu, the Nine Heavens?"
Although it was just a paragraph and he had been listening to it for a long time in the school, it still sounded like heavenly scripture to Shang Xia's ears. He had no choice but to think that he must have no talent for language.
Zhao Ning smiled and came to the rescue, "Thank you, Taoist Master. You are indeed from overseas and have little exposure to common language. Although I can teach my friends, it is always slower."
The Taoist smiled and said, "Although there are very few situations like this, I have met a few people. Look towards the highest pavilion. There is earth knowledge for sale in the pavilion. You can use this to understand the universal language."
Shang Xia's eyes lit up and he quickly thanked the Taoist. The Taoist smiled and said, "Helping others is a ritual of spiritual practice. There is no need to be polite, fellow Taoist." The Taoist nodded and left.
The three of them went to the pavilion. Shang Xia held the fairy rope in his hand and called Shi Lei and others who were accompanying him. He said, "They went to the library in the east city and the teahouse in the west. They said they could understand the ancient proverbs faster. .”
Soon, the three of them stood in front of the pavilion, with three words written on the plaque...
"Linyuan Pavilion."
A voice came from behind, and it was Shi Lei and the other three.
Yanran raised a smile and wanted to run to Zhao Ning, but she looked down on Qin Keyuan, so she could only bow honestly, "So Zhao Ning, you are here too."
"Yeah." Zhao Ning looked at Shi Lei and saw that it was the ancient sayings that Shi Lei had uttered. He learned the ancient sayings surprisingly quickly.
Shi Lei smiled, "I thought about Venerable Qin saying that we have limited time, so I crammed the words in the library into my consciousness. I didn't expect that there were too many words, and I could barely speak two or three words."
Yanran muttered, "It's so irritating to compare people to each other", thinking that it took her several years to completely master it.
Recalling that time, the smile in Yanran's eyes faded, and a trace of worry appeared in her eyes. She ignored Qin Keyuan, who was standing a few feet away from Zhao Ning, pulled Zhao Ning aside, and asked in a low voice, "Master Qin, can you tell me, This Jiuzhou Passage should have been created when this time and space disappeared."
Zhao Ning was surprised that Yanran actually reacted from her inherent knowledge.
Yanran was even more worried, "Back then, when I saw the passage of the market, there were hundreds of millions of demons gathered around it."
Zhao Ning didn't think much about it, "Did they gather here because of the Shixu Passage?"
Yanran shook her head firmly, "No, this demon is more likely to be born after a living being becomes a demon."
Zhao Ning's eyes tightened slightly. What she meant was that these demons may have erupted from Yu Yu's ninth heaven millions of years ago, and those who were born were the creatures who were sent here.
Yanran held Zhao Ning's arm tightly, "Zhao Ning, tell me, could it be that the Taoists and demons here have been demonized, just like... just like the Kunxu Demon Rebellion, but no one stopped it? That’s all.”
"Don't think wildly." Zhao Ning understood Yanran's speculation, but also denied her, "The Taoist people here are pure in nature and have no demonic nature. There is no sign of demonization."
"Then...that means it hasn't started yet!"
When she said this, Zhao Ning didn't know how to explain it. She looked at Qin Keyuan and saw Qin Keyuan looking at Xiang Hongxuan with a strange consideration in his eyes.
Zhao Ning turned to look at Xiang Hongxuan, only to see that Xiang Hongxuan was in extremely poor condition, not even as active as Shang Xia and others, and seemed to be falling asleep.
Yanran also looked at it and asked, "Master Hongxuan, do you have a hidden injury that has not been cleared up? Is it relapsing now?"
The others looked on with some worry. Along the way, life and death coexisted, and there was a sense of shared adversity.
"It's okay." Xiang Hongxuan waved his hand, "My hidden wounds have been cleared up a long time ago, but I am just a little sleepy after entering the ninth level of Yu Yu. It may be that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is too strong, and my soul is comfortable, so I want to practice in seclusion."
Unexpectedly, Xiang Hongxuan explained like this, and everyone laughed in astonishment.
But Qin Keyuan's eyes still paused on him for a moment, and then he felt Zhao Ning approaching. He looked back at Zhao Ning, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Ning asked, "When Yanran talked about her experience just now, she wanted to ask when the end of the time and space segment here is."
Qin Keyuan looked into her eyes. There was no other thought in Zhao Ning's clear eyes. He smiled and said, "Soon, probably in seven days."
Zhao Ning nodded and turned to look at Yanran. After all, you can't see for more than seven days. No matter how there is a demon lurking, it is impossible to demonize all the billions of creatures in this space-time fragment in a few days.
Yanran naturally heard it, feeling a little depressed but also a little happy. Without the chaos of demons and demons, they could enter Jiuzhou more smoothly.
When Shang Xia and others heard that there were only seven days left, they became even more anxious, "How can we read all the classics here with only seven days!"
As he said this, he stopped waiting for them and went straight to Linyuan Pavilion. Yanran followed behind, "Shang Xia, please stop talking nonsense. All the classics are beautiful."
"Let's go." Qin Keyuan glanced at Linyuan Pavilion, as if he saw something placed somewhere through the wall.
"Okay." Zhao Ning responded, and Xiang Hongxuan also strode up, faster than Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan. When he reached the door, he staggered and had to hold on to the doorpost to steady himself.
This shocked everyone, how could Master Yuanying be so abnormal.
"Sect Leader Xiang, are you okay?" Shi Lei stepped forward and asked.
Xiang Hongxuan still waved his hand, used the doorpost to support him, and went straight into Linyuan Pavilion.
"What's wrong with him?" Zhao Ning asked, "Why can't I see his condition. Where is the master uncle?"
Qin Keyuan said, "His soul is involved in this space-time fragment."
Zhao Ning stopped and looked up at Qin Keyuan. After a while, Zhao Ning realized something, "Xiang Hongxuan once saw his past life in Meng Po water and Sansheng stone..."
She subconsciously looked at Xiang Hongxuan's back. He was standing there, just in the middle. There were many Taoists and demons coming and going on the first floor of the store, so his figure seemed particularly awkward among them.
"Is it possible that this was the time in his previous life? There are two Xiang Hongxuan here? So they are involved and merged?"
Zhao Ning was stunned by such a guess, and grabbed Qin Keyuan's sleeve, holding it tightly, "Uncle, he had me in his previous life, then I..."
Qin Keyuan held her hand and said, "What are you thinking about? Do you feel that you are in a similar situation to him?"
Zhao Ning's consciousness passed through her several times. She was awake and her emotions were as warm as ever, like a dense mulberry tree in her heart. She shook her head.
"You'll be leaving soon, don't think too much about it." He stretched out his hand to adjust the red leaf bracelet on Zhao Ning's wrist.
At this moment, Shang Xia, who was having a hard time communicating with the shopping guide fairy in the crowd, had a grimace and wanted to ask for help from her great aunt. When she saw this intimate scene, her eyes, which were narrowed in distress, suddenly widened with disbelief.
He looked at the two of them, turning back and forth, and kept murmuring in his heart, something is wrong, something is wrong, could it be that the old relationship between the great-aunt and grandma has rekindled? There is clearly that person from the Patriarch Hall, but could it be because he left Jiuzhou and that person didn't follow him, so... that's not good, isn't this the beginning of chaos and the end of abandonment? No, how can you describe your great-aunt like this...
A bunch of messy thoughts flashed through Shang Xia's mind, so much so that even when Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan walked up to him, he didn't come back to his senses.
"...Can't we negotiate the price?" Zhao Ning made a sudden sound. Shang Xia was agitated, turned around and said to the shopping guide fairy, "Why can't we negotiate the price? We are buying three Earth Spiritual Crystals, not one individually. There must be a discount!”
He said a long sentence, and the shopping guide fairy looked at him in confusion. For a moment, she even wanted to put the Earth Consciousness Crystal directly into his hand and ask him to quickly learn to speak well in common language!
Shang Xia watched the shopping guide fairy respectfully hand over the Samadhi Spirit Crystal to Xiang Hongxuan. Shang Xia's eyes widened. Seeing Xiang Hongxuan hand over the two spirit crystals to him and Shi Lei, he crushed them directly. After receiving the Earth Consciousness Spirit Crystal, the sense of Earth Consciousness was projected into the center of his eyebrows. For a moment, he understood the humming and buzzing conversations around him.
"Master Hongxuan directly bought three Earth Consciousness Crystals? Didn't the shopping guide fairy want to bargain with me?" Shang Xia asked.
Xiang Hongxuan frowned and said, "It's just three Earth Consciousness Spirit Crystals." The implication was that the shopping guide fairy didn't want to discuss the price with him at all, and the shopping guide fairy on the side even smiled.
Shang Xia was depressed and turned to look at Zhao Ning, "Auntie, you are not kind, you are lying to me."
Zhao Ning raised her eyebrows slightly, with a smile in her eyes, and turned around to go upstairs with Qin Keyuan.
Shang Xia touched his chin and muttered, "Something's wrong, it seems like he's really changed his mind..."
Xiang Hongxuan and Shi Lei looked at him strangely and then followed him up to the second floor. Shang Xia was excited and said "wait for me" and chased after him, while Yanran next to him was still muttering "I'm not waiting".
When the four of them went up to the second floor, Zhao Ning was getting several Taoist books from the shopping guide. The Taoist books were mysterious and were not written in ancient characters, but in Taoist patterns, with each word having a thousand meanings.
At this moment, I saw a shopping guide fairy in the inner room carefully holding out a piece of fairy grass. The fairy grass was held in a transparent square box. There were dots of starlight around the flower, giving it an ethereal and peaceful feeling. The spiritual energy condensed into butterflies surrounding the surroundings.
Outside the pavilion, Qin Keyuan sensed that there was a five-thousand-year-old Kongming Immortal Grass in Linyuan Pavilion. When the Kongming Immortal Grass appeared in front of him like this, he frowned slightly, and there was a bit of sadness hidden in his deep eyes.
He lowered his head and looked at Zhao Ning. Zhao Ning was flipping through the Taoist book. There was a spiritual light left in the book. Every time she turned a page, the spiritual light flowed from the first word through the entire page. Layers of brilliance.
The little fairy was more relaxed and satisfied than ever before.
Qin Keyuan lowered his eyes and suppressed those memories that should never happen again.
Zhao Ning seemed to be aware of his gaze. She raised her head and looked doubtfully. Seeing her uncle's brows stretched and smiling calmly, she also smiled, "Uncle, this Taoist book seems to be the way of reincarnation. The mystery of reincarnation can be seen." Mysterious.”
Qin Keyuan took the Taoist book and glanced at it roughly, "It is indeed the path of reincarnation cultivation, but more records are ancient legends."
Zhao Ning always had no resistance to these legends and anecdotes. She was curious, "Uncle Master, teach me?"
"good."
The four people on the other side were still praising the beauty and mystery of the Kongming Immortal Grass, and they let out soft calls during the conversation.
It was probably because their gazes were too intense. The shopping guide fairy bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Taoist priests, but a senior has made a reservation for the Kongming Immortal Grass."
When Zhao Ning heard the familiar name, she unexpectedly turned her eyes and saw that it was indeed the Kongming Immortal Grass. Its meaning was purer than what she had expected.
Shang Xia and others were apologizing, "We are just curious, not trying to steal love. Fairy please."
The shopping guide fairy nodded and left, and Shang Xia and others went to look at the other items for sale.
After not seeing Kongming Xiancao again, Zhao Ning said as if reminiscing, "When I see Kongming Xiancao, I think of an old friend. He has no connection with the one he loves. He has been obsessed with his love for eight hundred years. In the end, he wants to use it." The Kongming Immortal Grass cut off the cause and effect of the two people, but I didn’t want him to be the first to go to hell, so my loved one forcibly peeled off the Kongming Immortal Grass and handed it to me."
That moment was like a wake-up call for Qin Keyuan. He looked at Zhao Ning, and there were rare waves in his deep eyes.
Zhao Ning didn't look at him, she lowered her eyes to hide the lament in her heart because of the past, "I hope their karma will eventually come to an end."
Qin Keyuan closed his eyes slightly. He felt a sense of absurdity about his fate, and clenched his back teeth, which made his facial contours tense.
Zhao Ning closed the Taoist book and looked up at him, a little strange, "What's wrong, uncle?"
In the moment before Zhao Ning looked at him, those emotions and tensions were restrained. Qin Keyuan only said, "Nothing, let's go find them."
"good."
Everyone visited Linyuan Pavilion carefully. When they came out of Linyuan Pavilion, Shang Xia had a painful expression. There is no other cultivator like Shang Xia who still cares about the spiritual stone after reaching the Golden Elixir Perfection.
He was ridiculed by Yanran and others. Shang Xia wanted to refute but didn't know how to refute.
On the other hand, Xiang Hongxuan rescued Shang Xia by saying, "I want to find a cave for a short retreat first." Shang Xia repeatedly said, "I also want to find a cave to digest the Taoist books bought with these 300,000 spirit stones." "Three hundred thousand", I was already trying to restrain myself from gritting my teeth.
Zhao Ning responded, "Okay, let's go together."
She turned to look at her uncle, and Qin Keyuan nodded.
The group of people found a cave ten miles away from the Qianren Mountains. It has to be said that this place is very similar to the Qingzhu Peak Cave that Zhao Ning found when he first entered Guiyuan City. However, at this time, mountains such as Qingzhu Mountain had not yet been formed.
From here, you can see the red sea of mulberry trees.
