Zhao Ning stood behind her uncle, saying nothing from the beginning to the end. She knew that her uncle was her, and she obeyed all his arrangements. However, the more she protected him, the more sorrowful and unwilling she felt in her heart.
Guanghe Yuanshen didn't say whether he should respond or not. He obviously felt that this sentiment was not enough to impress him, so he heard Qin Keyuan say again, "I heard that ten years ago, near the Holy City of Wind Shadow, the Blood Demon Daxiu and the Red Night Ghost Lord were fighting. One object hurts both, and in the end the object fell into the God of Gamblers' Pond."
This gratuitous sentence seemed to have something to say. Guanghe Yuanshen squinted at Qin Keyuan. He still maintained the same speed and tone as before, "Later, someone in the city said that the thing was extremely beautiful, shaped like an ice crystal flower, and sometimes colorful. The brilliant light flashes, and there is even more ethereal meaning lingering around. The fire of karma will be extinguished if it touches it, which means..."
Before Qin Keyuan finished speaking, Guanghe Yuanshen stood up instantly, with a solemn expression, staring at Qin Keyuan, "If you say anything deceptive, I will raise my hand and crush you two to death."
"Your Majesty said that, and Qin dared to lie." Qin Keyuan replied calmly.
The next moment, a drop of crystal liquid jumped up from a golden lotus in the pool. Guanghe Yuanshen waved his sleeves, and a drop of golden lotus holy spring fell into Qin Keyuan's hands, and was in turn included in the jade bottle that had been prepared.
Guanghe Yuanshen didn't say anything and disappeared directly. Everyone sent him off respectfully. Master Qingfeng's eyes fell on Qin Keyuan, his brows slightly twisted, "Kongming Immortal Grass has been extinct for thousands of years, how could it suddenly appear in the wind?" Shadow Holy City?”
really. Zhao Ning lowered his eyes and his thoughts turned. What his uncle described was the Kongming Immortal Grass. What cause and effect was Guanghe Yuanshen trying to cut off with such urgency?
She raised her eyes and could only see her uncle's straight back. What did her uncle know?
"Master Qingfeng also heard it, and Qin just 'heard it'. As for the specific details, I don't know." He nodded slightly, "The elixir has been delivered, so I'll say goodbye."
Master Qingfeng stared at Qin Keyuan, wanting to ask more questions, but the matter involved too much, so he smiled on the surface and said, "Please, Tianqi will see you off on my behalf."
Xianhe took them back to the mountain gate again, and Dai Tianqi sent them out of the deep courtyard teleportation array of Guangyuan City before leaving.
"Can we take a stroll in the city?" Qin Keyuan asked Zhao Ning.
Zhao Ning kept thinking about what happened in Guanghe Hall, so she shook her head.
"Then let's go back to the Qianren Mountains."
From Guangyuan City to Guiyuan City, and then from Guiyuan City to Qianren Mountains, the teleportation array could only teleport instantly. This trip took less than half a day to come and go. It was dusk, and there were many people leaving Qianren Mountains. area, go to the temporary mountain peak.
As the crowds gradually dwindled, Zhao Ning asked Qin Keyuan, "Uncle Master, do you know why Guanghe Yuanshen is in urgent need of the pill to kill the cause and effect?"
Qin Keyuan shook his head, "I don't know. I did a little testing in Guanghe Hall this time, but I don't want this Yuanshen to conceal his intentions at all."
"Testing?" Zhao Ning grasped the key.
"I have been walking around this space-time node for nearly three hundred years, and I have been looking for a way to leave this place. Although I have not found a way, I accidentally discovered that there are many people in this space-time node who are either overtly or covertly looking for something related to cause and effect. Things, and behind these people are almost forces above the Yuanshen. As far as I can determine, there are three people, Guanghe Yuanshen is one of them."
"So, they all want to 'cut off the cause and effect'?" Zhao Ning was suspicious in order to contact Guanghe Yuanshen, "Is it to overcome the tribulation? Uncle Master still remembers that the senior guarding the teleportation array said it was 'whimsical', Even this senior may know the reason, but he just doesn’t agree with it.”
Qin Keyuan is also deeply convinced that it is indeed possible. If it is something that people are attracted to or involves the entire time and space node, those who know and watch it should not be so calm.
"That's all." Qin Keyuan calmed down, "The important thing this time is to heal your injuries, and put the rest aside."
Zhao Ning was thinking about the Kongming elixir she had obtained. It was refined by her uncle for her to transform into a spirit. She had become a spirit and failed his expectations. Zhao Ning did not want to think about the relationship with his uncle since she entered this place. Every moment we spent together in Shixu, everything seemed to foreshadow the final death, but at this moment, there was no reason to connect with this elixir that was almost suddenly refined in a hurry...
My thoughts are disconnected, as if something is missing and I can't always connect.
After thinking about it again, I wanted to ask for more details about the desire to 'kill the cause and effect' above the soul here, but when I looked up, before I could say anything, I found that I was taken to a cave by Qin Keyuan.
The cave is cool and fluorescent, and when you go deeper, you will see an open area, with all kinds of strange stalactites hanging above, and water light swaying on the top. Below, there is a pool of water with a light milky color and no bottom.
The tips of Zhao Ning's ears suddenly turned red. She realized something and pretended to be calm.
Qin Keyuan pointed to the stalactite on his head, "The nectar of Bai Ling has been condensed since then. One drop can be obtained every hundred years. The essence of Bai Ling is concentrated. Taking it can instantly relieve all kinds of magical and soul injuries under the golden elixir. If you don't take it for a day, the nectar will fall into the pool." If it is diluted into Bailing water, taking it will have little effect, but taking a bath is more effective."
Zhao Ning looked at the stalactites on the top, which were glistening with water but did not condense with nectar.
Qin Keyuan smiled and said, "The day I picked you up in Guiyuan City, it happened to be the time when the nectar of Bai Ling was available once in a century. But I couldn't walk away, so I could only let the nectar drip."
He said that he "couldn't leave", but Zhao Ning knew it well. When she met her uncle again, she didn't want him to be far away for a moment, so she kept dragging him by her side.
"Zhao Ning is willful." Zhao Ning lowered his head to hide the confusion in his eyes.
He placed his palms on the top of her hair and said, "It doesn't matter. Water from Bai Ling is also available, not to mention a drop of golden lotus holy water from Guangyuan Cave."
He walked to the edge of the pool, squatted down, and dropped the drop of golden lotus holy water into the pool. The water boiled instantly, and mist surged three feet above the water, glowing with a subtle golden light, lingering with fragrant fragrance, and shrouded in hundreds of thousands of flowers.
Zhao Ning came closer, squatted to the side, stretched out a finger, and entered the pool water. First, it felt cold, and then there were strands of Qi that penetrated into the bones and merged into the flesh. At this moment, the suppressed demonic Qi in her body , evil spirits, murderous intent, evil thoughts and other negative forces seem to have found an outlet, and they all go towards this finger, but when they come into contact with the cold air machine...
"hiss--"
Zhao Ning suddenly withdrew his hand due to the pain that was piercing his bones.
Her fingertips were red, and a little black energy lingered around them. Qin Keyuan raised his hand, silver light passed by, and the black energy was dissipated.
There was some recognition in his eyes, "It is worthy of the name of Xiaoyao Pond's holy water. It should be possible to use this pond to wash away the negative energy from your body."
He turned to look at Zhao Ning and said hesitantly, "I'm just... afraid that I'm going to suffer a lot."
Zhao Ning raised her eyes to look at him and said with a smile, "It's just a pain in the flesh, Zhao Ning can bear it."
Qin Keyuan responded, "This bathing, the medicinal effect of the water can last for a hundred days. The longer you go, the more painful it will be. All the negative power in your body will overflow, which will disturb your state of mind and induce inner demons. Don't forcefully break the Nine Spirit Seal." Divine magic, otherwise these negative forces will penetrate into the Purple Mansion's sea of consciousness, pollute the soul, and fail..."
He paused and looked at Zhao Ning, "Do you want your uncle to protect you?"
If we talk about protection, it is nothing more than staying here and protecting the origin with magic power. When the negative power overflows, it will be instantly eliminated, just like how we dispelled the black energy just now. If we do not protect it, the negative power may counterattack and inner demons will breed. Not to mention, polluting the soul will indeed fall short of the mark.
But if it is protected, bathing in the pool water, the wet body is facing each other, and the tips of the ears covered by the long hair are already red and hot.
Zhao Ning probably didn't answer for a long time, so Qin Keyuan said, "Uncle Master is guarding outside. If it's critical, I don't have to worry about anything more. Saving you is the first priority."
He said no more and stood up. As soon as he took a step, he was suddenly grabbed by his sleeve.
His steps immediately stopped, and he turned to look at Zhao Ning. Zhao Ning's eyes were evasive. She was ashamed and at a loss, but she still held her hands tightly.
Chapter 332
In the mist-filled fluorescent cave, which is sealed by layers of restrictions, there are two figures faintly visible in the mist, sitting cross-legged in the pool facing each other, about three feet apart.
The clothes are still on, the water mist has wetted the hair, and it is close to the body. The clothes and the ends of the hair are floating on the water, like ink and painting.
Both eyes are closed, the five hearts are facing up, and the Qi is moving internally. As Qin Keyuan moves, the silver light is pointed at the center of the eyebrows, and the fingers are made into palms. Press the three inches between the eyebrows, the silver light is blurred, and the purple palace trembles. Nerves are tense.
At this moment, the hidden evil marks, bloodstains, evil rings, evil spots and other negative powers all over her body appeared. Under the mist and dizziness, her skin was clear and white, making these marks clearly visible. As if carved on the skin, at the same time, the torture accompanying these powers gradually affects the nerves like the bites of thousands of insects.
Zhao Ning gritted her teeth tightly and swallowed the painful sound that reached her mouth.
However, everything has not yet begun. As Qin Keyuan moves another magic technique, the thin gold on the pool surface flows towards Zhao Ning together with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The healing and purifying power contained in the golden lotus penetrates into Zhao Ning's body, first covering it. All the blood marks, the killing force was stimulated and resisted manically. The two forces competed. Zhao Ning felt that the blood marks on his body were torn open again, from the skin to the flesh and then deep into the bones, tearing inch by inch, and pain spread throughout the body.
She held on and did not show any vulnerability, but her figure was already tilted, and blood spread on the surface of the pool, staining the clothes floating on the water, and then intertwined along the clothes, dyeing Qin Keyuan's sleeves red every inch.
As the water mist rises and swirls, the blood floats into the air, but the blood mist envelopes Zhao Ning, and the palm close to Zhao Ning's forehead gradually shows several fine scratches in the blood mist, which are the killing blows melted in the blood mist. force.
The power of the golden lotus holy water will carve the killing power into Zhao Ning's body, using the method of breaking the wound and using the blood as a guide to drive it away.
But it was obvious that driving away was not easy. These killing powers were carefully hidden in the flesh, bones, and internal organs, either obviously or deeply. She suddenly felt a pain in her heart, her body swayed, and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.
Qin Keyuan suddenly opened his eyes and saw that Zhao Ning's expression was extremely painful, and he could only keep his back upright by pressing his forehead against his palm.
Blood mist filled the air, and the water-soaked gauze was close to her body and she could see countless fine blood stains spreading around Zhao Ning's heart, like climbing vines, spreading like spider webs, covering up downwards by the milky water, and extending and branching upwards. To the clearly defined clavicle.
The beating of the heart can be seen with the naked eye, and with every beat, the blood-colored pulse marks spread more and more around, as if the heart is about to burst out of the body.
He frowned and raised his hand to pinch another spell. The silver halo shone on Zhao Ning's heart, protecting her heart.
These killing powers not only penetrate deep into the flesh, but are also hidden in the fatally weak areas of the body. If there is a slight negligence, the murderous intention is waiting for an opportunity, which is the punishment of scratching the heart.
The rest of the place can use the power of the Golden Lotus Holy Water to forcefully drive away the murderous intent, but only the heart veins must be cautious. He turned his spell again, and the magic power entered the heart veins with the power of the Golden Lotus Holy Water, and was forcibly wrapped up before the two forces collided.
A cool feeling floats in the heart, relieving the layers of angina pain. The spreading blood stains on the heart gradually shrink until the magic power wraps up all the hidden killing power in the heart, and it is concentrated in the heart as if it will explode at any time. The beating seemed to slow down for half a beat in fear because of this.
However, he saw a sharp silver blade cut open a half-finger-long wound on Zhao Ning's heart just a little bit from his fingertips. Large streams of blood overflowed. Zhao Ning's face turned pale and pale. The heartbreaking feeling made her suddenly lean up and mouth. A whine escaped.
The slender neck should be stretched back and tightened, but at the same time, the evil ring wrapped around the neck seems to be tightening. Using this as a guide, other negative powers such as evil marks and evil spots bloom on the body surface.
"Zhao Ning!" Qin Keyuan frowned solemnly and let out a soft voice, but his voice went straight into Zhao Ning's soul, "Concentrate your mind and lock your mind. Don't force the Nine Spirits to Confer God."
When the heart pulse is stimulated, the instinct is stimulated, and the subconscious must mobilize the original power to counterattack the source of stimulation.
Zhao Ning could hear Qin Keyuan's voice. Her consciousness was deep in the Zifu Lingtai. The negative power around her that was almost fused with the original power of the Lingtai was extremely restless. She was even faintly excited and gradually moved closer to the core of the Lingtai. At this moment, Zhao Ning's consciousness forcibly broke away from the confusion and involvement. As his mind moved, he saw a golden leaf shadow appear, wrapping around the core of the spiritual platform, converging the original power.
The ups and downs of his chest gradually calmed down. Qin Keyuan calmed down a little. Without further delay, he closed his hands and grasped empty-handedly. The killing power in his heart was forcibly pulled out, and exploded the moment it touched the water mist. The manic killing power It wreaked havoc on the cave here. For a moment, the cave shook. Countless sharp lights and sharp shadows passed by. Several stalactites on the top were chopped into pieces and fell straight down. They were forcibly enveloped by silver light within three feet of the summoning force. And go.
Zhao Ning relaxed physically and mentally, realizing that the power of killing was stripped away from his body. He sat cross-legged with his soul, made seals, and moved with his thoughts. The power of killing that raged in the cave enveloped the blood mist and gradually concentrated until it formed behind Zhao Ning. A bloody halo, after a moment, merged into the darkness and gradually disappeared.
The four powers have become one, Qin Keyuan did not stop, using the healing power of the Bailing Water to heal the wounds in Zhao Ning's heart, and then using the power of the Golden Lotus Holy Water to dissipate the evil spirits. The evil spirits came from the foul air of the world, tightening his neck, as if strangling his lifeline. , as the killing power is driven away, the ring of evil spirits loosens, and the bright red ring falls on the neck like a delicate jewelry, reflecting the extremely clear skin color of the neck.
Zhao Ning sensed the power of choking his breathing, and pulled the power of the golden lotus holy water in his body to hit the source of the evil spirit over and over again. The source was under the front of the neck and at the Tiantu point. As the two forces collided, the apparent ring of evil spirit disappeared. The evil spirit gathered at the source and gradually condensed into a red mole with dripping blood.
The red mole is attractive, but to Zhao Ning, it is like running through her throat and suffocating her breathing. She covers her face and opens her mouth, like a fish out of water, eager for smooth breathing.
The red color pierced into his eyes. Qin Keyuan's expression was quite tense. The seals on his palms slowly rotated, and a series of fine lines were printed on the red mole. As the grip on his palm retreated, the red mole was separated from the body, but it looked like a red mole. A slender blood nail was slowly pulled out, and the Dao pattern ring was rotated downward until the last inch of the blood nail was pulled out from the neck socket.
He clenched his palm fiercely, and absorbed the "blood nail" with the force from the air. The "blood nail" exploded instantly, and the blood was dark, forming a thick purple mist, and when it overflowed, it suddenly rushed back towards Zhao Ning, just at that moment At this time, Zhao Ning seized the opportunity, and the soul seal changed, and the purple-red mist stagnated, and then gathered behind Zhao Ning like the blood mist before, forming a circle of light, and the light condensed with killing power The halo collided with this and split into two halves.
The evil spirit was drawn out, and the force was removed. The body was unable to support itself and slid sideways to the water.
"Zhao Ning!"
Qin Keyuan stopped her falling with one arm, hooked his arm slightly, and used the force to roll his weak body into his arms, resting his forehead on the crook of his arm.
Her body was shaking.
"Can you still hold on?" he asked distressedly.
Zhao Ning squeezed her head half an inch into his arm and pressed her palms on his legs, trying to use the strength to sit up, but she had no strength and endured the bone-gnawing pain.
Immediately afterwards, I felt a palm pressing on the back of my head. The magic power wrapped the pure and soft spiritual energy of heaven and earth and blended into the meridians, flesh and bone, and bone marrow... The power of the golden lotus holy water was temporarily isolated, and the pain generated from the purification gradually eased.
The trembling of her body subsided slightly, and the power of condensation recovered very slowly, but she also knew that every delay meant the loss of the power of the Golden Lotus Holy Water.
She gritted her teeth and gathered some strength, and her hands under the water grasped the folds of her uncle's waist and abdomen, pulled her body closer, and then raised her body up.
The waist can be reached with one arm, and Qin Keyuan brings her into his arms.
Zhao Ning raised her head weakly. The soaked hair plastered her cheeks, outlined her neck along the contour of her jaw, folded up in the supraclavicular fossa, and covered her bare shoulders backwards.
He brushed away the hair that clung to Zhao Ning's cheeks with his fingertips. Zhao Ning's eyes were filled with rippling water and dense brilliance. His lips were damaged due to forbearance, and his mouth was slightly open, showing a few bite marks.
"Uncle Master... how long... still have..."
She had no precise sense of time, but she was vaguely aware that dozens of days had passed.
Qin Keyuan lowered his eyes, his dark eyes covering all his thoughts, and he said, "Seventy-nine days have passed."
There's still half the time. This time had somewhat calmed down the anxiety in her heart.
She curled up slightly, leaning her head on the side of her uncle's neck and turning her head inward. Her consciousness drifted, and she had a chance to breathe after dozens of days of pain.
Her breathing was slow but steady, bringing the warmth from her body onto his neck.
