"Your name is Zhao Ning." The woman looked at her and said, "That's a good name. My name is Shengxian, Yue Shengxian."
This name is really... magnificent... but before Zhao Ning said anything, Yue Shengxian ran to Zhao Ning in a few steps and said, "Zhao Ning, are you willing to help me?"
"Of course." Zhao Ning smiled.
Yue Shengxian said with a bit of trepidation, "Everyone in the village in the first year of junior high school takes turns to go to Xiantian to pick Tianzhu grass. It takes a whole day to pick it. It's boring to death. Please help me go and I'll let you live in my house." .”
"What Zhao Ning should do." Zhao Ning responded directly and just asked, "Is the line of sky between the two mountains?"
Yue Shengxian smiled happily and put the half bowl of white porridge in Zhao Ning's hand on the stove. He pulled Zhao Ning out to the yard and pointed to the depression between the two mountains. The morning sun had revealed a semicircle. The area near the two mountains was straight and covered with golden light. It's like a heavenly gate.
"There is a secret realm there." Yue Shengxian said to Zhao Ning, "And it is a secret realm that only mortals can enter. Even if the practitioner completely confines his cultivation, he cannot enter even half of it. However, except for some ordinary beasts, there are no What's the danger? The main reason is that it's difficult to get out once you've gone in. You can only get out on the second day of the lunar month when the sun is high in the sky and the sun is shining directly on the sky, showing that the Tianmen is open."
"Such a magical place?" Zhao Ning exclaimed.
"Don't worry, everyone in our village has been going there every month for a hundred and eighty years." Yue Shengxian stared at Zhao Ning expectantly, as if he was afraid that she would regret it.
"Sister Shengxian, when should we go and how should we pick it?"
Yue Shengxian smiled and said, "Come on, we will set off at Chenshi, after half a stick of incense. On this day, the candle grass must be collected from jade pieces, and do not touch gold or stone, otherwise it will be destroyed instantly."
Zhao Ning memorized it carefully and listened to her introduction, "This day's candle grass was used for sacrifices a long time ago. Now, it is the material for making some fire talisman paper, which is used in the village to make a living."
"Shengxian, this is the little girl you brought back from somewhere." A voice sounded from outside the courtyard, but it was a man with beards who didn't look very easy to get along with, but when he smiled, he was full of joy. He is honest and honest.
"Peeking at me and picking it up while I was taking a shower!" Yue Shengxian choked.
Zhao Ning felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, and Yue Shengxian smiled nonchalantly, "Brother Hongyu, you must also be in the team gathering Tiancancao this time. You can bring my little girl with you."
She picked up the medicine basket on the side, stuffed it into Zhao Ning's arms, and pushed Zhao Ning towards He Hongyu. Zhao Ning had no choice but to call out "Brother Hongyu" to say hello.
He Hongyu was a little embarrassed and waved his hand to Yue Shengxian, "Okay, leave it to me. I will never let your little girl fall behind. Just go and be lazy."
Obviously he knew Yue Shengxian very well. Yue Shengxian glared at him and then went into the room without knowing what to do.
"Let's go." He Hongyu led Zhao Ning in the direction of the gathering. After walking a few steps, he was shy and silent at first, and soon the questions started popping out one by one.
From asking where Zhao Ning came from and how she got here to why Zhao Ning was wearing a veil, did she really peek at Yue Shengxian taking a bath?
Zhao Ning answered sentence by sentence. First, he said that he came from Pingyang Daze. He was born unable to practice and had a different appearance, so he was kicked out. He heard from the fishermen on the island that there was a gathering place for mortals and came here. As for the last question, She paused for a long time and still didn't answer.
He Hongyu asked another way, "How is it? Is that girl Shengxian in good shape?"
This...Zhao Ning can't even answer. She only thought in her heart that this friend Yue Shengxian was a little...unreliable.
Fortunately, I soon met three or two people walking out from other places in the village. When I saw Zhao Ning's face, my first reaction was "Shengxian girl picked someone up from outside again", and my second reaction was "Sure enough, it happened again." I'm lazy." Then he asked about Zhao Ning's situation.
He Hongyu answered for Zhao Ning. While they were talking, Zhao Ning observed the group of people. Most of them were middle-aged, including men and women. They were very familiar with each other and had obviously lived together for a long time.
As soon as the time came, one person took the lead and shouted "Let's go". She was a woman in her forties, with a plump figure and a faintly beautiful appearance when she was young. Everyone called her Aunt Luo, but she was not here from the beginning. He only came here ten years ago, but now he has the potential to become the village chief.
The group of people came to the bottom of Yuanming Mountain. They saw two mountains from a distance. They were actually a mountain range. The center seemed to be split open by a sword, forming a line of sky.
After years of exploration, a long staircase has been built leading to the Tiantian Gate. You only need to walk up the long staircase and it will take about two hours to arrive.
The ten people on this trip were chatting and laughing all the way, with Zhao Ning falling behind. At the beginning, He Hongyu introduced the situation in the village to Zhao Ning, saying, "The village is called Yuanming Village." "Many mortals come to our village. There are practitioners who come for a walk, but most of them don’t stay long.” “The village doesn’t earn many spiritual stones in one day, so they are basically distributed to everyone”, “…”
Later, he went off to brag with another man, occasionally looking back at Zhao Ning to see if she was falling behind.
Until they finally arrived at the gate of Xianxiantian, everyone took a rest and took a few more breaths. Some people even noticed Zhao Ning and said with a smile, "It's really rare that Zhao Ning can follow their footsteps." Zhao Ning just smiled and said nothing. In fact, the soles of my feet were numb and my calves were weak, but I just followed them without saying a word based on my will.
At this moment, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the sky, and everyone turned their attention away. The ray of light did not match the time, so most people guessed that it was the Great Power who was passing by.
In fact, it was not very far away from them, because they could see it with the naked eye. In the glow, a huge ice phoenix carried the Crystal Palace and flew away far away. Wherever it passed, flying snow fell.
"It should be a powerful person from Suizhou, right?"
"It must be, that is the Biqiong Xuanling Ice Phoenix. Only the giant families in Suizhou can raise it as a mount."
"Why did the great power from Suizhou come to our Xianzhou? Is there another grand event going to be held in some cave?"
"It's none of our business. We are just mortals with no cultivation. If we understand those things, we might as well gather more Heavenly Candle Grass."
"Okay." Aunt Luo interrupted them, "The Tianmen is open, it's time to go."
The midday sun fell on a thin line of sky, not as hazy as in the early morning. The two slightly expanding shadows looked like open doors.
A group of people filed in. Zhao Ning didn't care about the powerful affairs at all, but was the first to follow Aunt Luo in.
Chapter 348
In the ice tower on the back of Biqiong Xuanling Bingfeng, a man and a woman were cuddling together. At this moment, the woman suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She straightened up and took a look outside. Her eyes were deep and the direction of her gaze was exactly Zhao Ning and others. direction of disappearance.
The consciousness of the Yuan Shen traveled thousands of miles and reflected back to the scene where she was looking. It was just a few mortals entering the secret realm, and she did not feel any other abnormalities.
"Xi Yuan, what's wrong with you? What are you looking at?" Chang Jinghuan asked quietly, looking in her direction and not noticing anything unusual.
Xi Yuan looked away, smiled slightly, and shook his head, "It's nothing, I just feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, as if I sensed something."
Chang Jinghuan frowned slightly, his eyes calm. He and Xi Yuan had been together for nearly 50,000 years, and they knew each other very well. Even if Xi Yuan was vague, he could vaguely detect something.
On the surface, he just smiled, held the person in his arms, and comforted him gently, "That is the place where the ancient beasts fell. Don't disturb them easily. These mortals are also brave."
Xi Yuan moved in his arms, "I don't care about this, I just... think of the child inexplicably."
"Xi Yuan, the child died at birth. Don't think about it anymore. As long as you are safe, it is better than anything else."
Xi Yuan stopped talking, but Chang Jinghuan looked outside with a secretive expression.
"We are going to Dianlin Daze soon. His Majesty Hong Xi has been promoted and released from seclusion. We are just going to ask for advice. Don't miss such a good opportunity."
Xi Yuan said "hmm".
The entire ice building fell into silence again. Chang Jinghuan didn't move anything, but calmly comforted him.
It wasn't until a flash of light entered the room that the head of the house wanted to invite him, that Chang Jinghuan left.
In the main hall of Binglou, the head of the Chang family was discussing matters with his men. When he saw him coming, he didn't change much. He just slightly motioned him to wait with his eyes.
The head of the Chang family was still talking to his subordinates, "It's a bit strange that Hong Xi Mian suddenly left seclusion. Moreover, I heard earlier that something went wrong with his promotion. As soon as he was promoted, his physical body fell into decline. Now he ignores his first decline. In such a situation, we invited all the major forces in Jiuzhou to Dianlin Daze, fearing that there might be some secret plan."
"Don't worry, head of the family, we have already contacted some sects in Xianzhou, and I think there will be some clues soon."
"Yes. Let's investigate this matter as soon as possible. Once Tianzun has something on his mind, we must make preparations early, otherwise, we will not be able to avoid it no matter what."
The men turned around and left.
The head of the Chang family then said to Chang Jinghuan, "Thirteenth brother, this Dianlin Daze is where my brother and sister's family is. You also heard what I just said to Chang Yan. You can also talk to my sister and see if she heard it. what news."
Chang Jinghuan responded, and the head of the Chang family didn't say much. He waved his hand and let Chang Jinghuan leave.
Chang Jinghuan did not go back. He stood on the corridor of the pavilion, looking down at the Daze below with his hands behind his back. Someone appeared behind him and said, "Master."
"How's that kid doing now?"
Chang Shuang was stunned. He hadn't mentioned a word for sixteen years. Now that he suddenly mentioned it, Chang Shuang had almost no idea what Chang Jinghuan was referring to.
"I don't know." Chang Shuang asked again, "What are the arrangements?"
"A few days ago, Xi Yuan and I had a sudden heart attack. It felt like we were related by blood. Xi Yuan even thought it was a child calling her, and was finally stabilized by me. Today she mentioned it again."
Chang Shuang was startled, and immediately understood, so he raised his hand to create a ray of light, turned it downwards, and the light and shadow appeared in front of Chang Jinghuan.
But I saw white flags hung up and a mourning hall built among the families in the valley of Chongshan Mountain. There were four people on the memorial tablets in the mourning hall, Liang Ji, Mrs. Liang Ji, Liang Xuandi and Zhao Ning.
Chang Jinghuan squinted his eyes, and in the light and shadow, a golden elixir manager from a sect came angrily with several people, and then walked away angrily with his sleeves thrown away.
He turned his eyes away, Chang Shuang waved away the light and shadow, and whispered, "I think he is indeed dead. Maybe it was the dying moment that affected you and your wife."
Chang Jinghuan sighed, "That's it, this is life."
This conversation was silent, and no one knew about it. The Biqiong Xuanling Ice Phoenix moved steadily across the sky, carrying the colorful glow, and flew towards Dianlin Daze.

Yuan Mingshan, a line of sky.
Ying Ming stood in front of the secret realm Tianmen, with hidden pressure. It was the aura from ancient times, remaining and gentle.
He did not enter directly, but only turned his eyes and saw a shadow in Yuanming Village running quickly into the mountains.
It's Yue Shengxian.
Ying Ming didn't pay attention to her, but the basket in her hand seemed to be contaminated with a familiar atmosphere, which surprised Ying Ming.
Then, the figure flashed and Ying Ming disappeared from the spot.
Even though Yue Shengxian has no cultivation, she is very nimble in the mountains and forests like a deer in the forest. She will not feel any difficulty because of the difficult mountain roads or various obstacles. She has run nearly fifty miles in less than an hour. The mountain road passed over two mountains, she went deep into the mountains, found a well-marked cave halfway up the mountain, and got in without hesitation.
For a long time, the sound echoing in the cave was carried by the wind.
"Hey, it's me. If you're not dead, come out quickly." She shouted carelessly.
But there was no other sound. Yue Shengxian put his hands on his hips and smiled, "You hide from me, a mortal with no cultivation, and you are not afraid of others laughing at you. Could it be that I will hurt you?"
She changed her tone and said, "Quick, come out, I'll mend your cassock, I didn't take off your clothes!"
There may have been no response for too long. Yue Shengxian was a little nervous and looked around, only to find that the person had only one breath left.
"Hey! Hey! Don't die!"
She shook the other person crazily and shouted anxiously, "Shang Xia! Shang Xia!"
It was probably because of such rough movements that Shang Xia couldn't take his last breath and finally opened his eyes.
Staring at her, helpless and helpless.
Yue Shengxian picked up his basket and said, "Here! I've mended your robes!"
Shang Xia said weakly, "Thank you fairy, the robe does not need to be mended."
Yue Shengxian didn't care, and directly placed the robe on the stone bed, "Why do you still think that I am a mortal? I can't make your robe know how to do it. Let me tell you, this material is woven from candle grass. It is very strong. Even if Ordinary robes can be restored to their original strength without refining."
She didn't care about the other party's politeness at all, and walked to the other party to pull him onto the stone bed, "Do you think you immortals are all like this? You were obviously seriously injured and your bones were broken, but you still tortured yourself and endured I don’t want to lie down in bed when I’m in pain.”
After several interactions, Shang Xia already knew Yue Shengxian's temper. Without saying anything, he just let Yue Shengxian take him to the stone bed and said "thank you".
Yue Shengxian smiled instead, "You are from Daze, why do you like to say thank you so much? Yesterday, the little girl also liked to say thank you, and you also said thank you too. The expressions were similar. Maybe they belong to the same family."
Of course Shang Xia knew that she was just teasing him casually, so he just asked casually, "Little girl?"
"Well, that's right. She came from Pingyang Daze yesterday. She is actually quite beautiful, but there are some birthmarks on her face, which really affects her first impression."
