They landed on an island.
"Huh?" Yue Shengxian looked at the situation around him, "Have we returned to Pingyang Daze? So fast!"
"Originally, we were going to leave the Forbidden Land of Extreme Demons. Isn't it a good thing that my great-aunt brought us back directly?"
Yue Shengxian smiled awkwardly, "That's right."
Then he said carelessly, "Since you have arrived in Daze, Pingyang, come with me to Yuanming Village. I haven't returned to the village in thirty years. I miss them!"
They didn't answer, and turned to look at Zhao Ning, who responded.
It was probably because I had been running around too much during this period, and instead of flying in the air, I sailed to Yuanming Village in a small boat.
A few days later, they arrived at Yuanming Village. The people in the village were shocked when they saw them coming back, but they were the first to notice Zhao Ning.
Yue Shengxian "accused" dissatisfiedly, "Why, we haven't seen each other for thirty years. Is this because the boss doesn't come back and the young one doesn't recognize him?!"
The eyes of the villagers turned to Yue Shengxian, and they reacted in a daze, and were even more surprised, "Shengxian, I thought you had forgotten our village, but you are only willing to come back after thirty years!"
Yue Shengxian was speechless by these words, "What does it mean to be willing to come back? It's not like you don't know me anymore!"
You come and go, make jokes, Ting Lan and Shang Xia are both a little dumbfounded. This kind of getting along with each other like ordinary people but not like ordinary people's dialogue gives them an indescribable feeling.
Yuanming Village was as enthusiastic as ever, and a bonfire was set up in the center of the village that night. Everyone in the village enthusiastically cheered their arrival.
The drinks were filled over and over again. They were just ordinary drinks that would not make Shang Xia and Ting Lan drunk. However, Yue Shengxian was different. Her cultivation level was only at the foundation-building level, and she was not as good as the one who couldn't drink a thousand cups. I was in a state of drunkenness, so I drank a few glasses of wine, and by the middle of the night I was already drunk and unconscious.
Ting Lan took her back. The villagers kept to their normal schedules and couldn't bear it any longer. The welcome party ended here.
Late at night, the entire Yuanming Village was extremely quiet, and all living creatures seemed to be silent in the night.
Zhao Ning did not rest or meditate. She just sat on the couch in the main room, slowly pouring a cup of tea, waiting for something.
Soon, Shang Xia and Ting Lan appeared in the main room.
The two of them were not even half drunk, but they were the only ones in the room, and their expressions were extremely heavy.
Shang Xia hesitated several times and looked at Zhao Ning. Zhao Ning put down the teapot and raised his hand. An invisible barrier enveloped the main room. Even those weird strangers could not hear the sounds in the barrier. .
Shang Xia had been holding back her questions and finally had a chance to speak.
"Auntie, what happened after Kyushu?"
"Yes, why would Venerable Shuanglong say that there are only two of them left in the Heavenly Palace and the two newly promoted souls, Venerable Hongde and Venerable Haochu?" Tinglan's words were not too exaggerated. Impatient, Bi Shang Xia heard some details.
"Escaped and gone." Zhao Ning replied, and he seemed to have calmed down now. "Except for the two of them, the other five people in Tiangong are dead."
"What?!"
The two of them screamed at the same time. If the barrier hadn't blocked all sounds, their movements would have awakened the entire Yuanming Village.
For a moment, his expression was full of sorrow, and he even murmured in a daze, "Why..."
Zhao Ning thought about the past, and their deaths came to mind over and over again. For the sake of Jiuzhou's righteousness and no hesitation, Zhao Ning closed her eyes.
But when he closed his eyes, the scene of the golden crow piercing Yinglong's body appeared in his mind even more dazzlingly. Zhao Ning suddenly opened his eyes and forcefully waved away those images.
Shang Xia and Ting Lan seemed to have finally calmed down.
The two of them were already kneeling on the ground, kowtowing solemnly to the east to pay homage to the venerables they would never meet again.
Shang Xia straightened up and asked Zhao Ning, "Auntie, please tell us what happened. Since we were sent to Jiuzhou, we should bear all the responsibilities of Jiuzhou thereafter."
"Yes. I have to be accepted by Jiuzhou and receive your grace of rebirth. I will never ignore you."
Zhao Ning's eyes fell on Shang Xia and Ting Lan. She did not test Ting Lan too much. She knew Leng Shuanglong's last instructions in her heart.
Zhao Ning said, "Not only was our group betrayed, but someone in Kyushu was also betrayed."
"I knew it!"
Shang Xia pounded the ground hard, "Sooner or later these people will break them into pieces."
Ting Lan acted very calmly, "Since they betrayed Jiuzhou, they must have contact with Jiuzhou!"
Zhao Ning did not see anything like a guilty conscience or evasiveness on Ting Lan's face. Thinking about it again, after Ji Mo Forbidden mentioned that she was pushed out of the passage, Ting Lan's behavior was normal, and she was even extremely angry for herself.
Zhao Ning lifted the tea and took a sip slowly.
"Why on earth can they contact Jiuzhou? Why do these people from Jiuzhou covet Jiuzhou? They still want to ban Jiuzhou for the sake of its power. They are simply crazy."
"It has been more than four million years since Kyushu was banned. After so many years, many of those strong men back then are no longer around. The new power may have other ideas about Kyushu."
Shang Xia and Ting Lan communicated with each other.
"So, I always have a situation where the entire Jiuzhou is divided from each other. Some people hope to take advantage of Kyushu's power, and some people desperately want to ban Kyushu. So, will there be people who also hope that Kyushu will be unblocked?" Shang Xia asked With.
Zhao Ning put down the teacup and said lightly, "Yes. Some forces believe that Jiuzhou is part of Yu Yu's Jiuchongtian, and they hope to turn Jiuzhou into Yuyu's Jiuchongtian again."
Until now, Zhao Ning seems to be able to understand what Penglai Xiandao said back then.
Shang Xia opened his eyes wide and seized the breakthrough, "In this case, does it mean that we can seize this group of people and use their power to overcome the forces that oppress Kyushu and gain opportunities for Kyushu?"
Listening to Lan think about Shang Xia's words, a hint of joy appeared on his face, "Yes! This is the best way. Kyushu has been banned for millions of years, and it is far beyond the ability of an individual to lift the power of the ban. Only by promoting the general trend can we rebuild the overall situation!"
Zhao Ning looked at Ting Lan. From beginning to end, Ting Lan's thinking was beneficial to Jiuzhou.
She said, "However, now, I only know of one cave that supports the return of Nine Provinces to Yu Yu's Nine Heavens."
Shang Xia and Ting Lan looked at each other, feeling disappointed for a moment, but they did not become completely silent.
On the contrary, Shang Xia seemed to have been given a shot of blood, and said, "There is one place that is also very good. We can expand it a little bit and gradually expand it. Grandma, which cave is it? Why don't you let me blend in, so that I can Find out about the sects who have the same idea as them.”
"This is dangerous."
Zhao Ning reminded me.
However, Shang Xia straightened up and said firmly, "Master Tiangong sacrificed his life to protect Kyushu. Now we stand here as the fire of Kyushu to serve Kyushu wholeheartedly with sacrifice."
Such words were spoken so sonorously and forcefully that Zhao Ning rarely evoked a smile.
"Don't worry, it's not that dangerous if you go. Do you still remember that Qingxiao Sect has a book called Penglai Nine Heavens Shenxiao Dafa? It will be your stepping stone."
Both Shang Xia and Ting Lan's eyes widened, and Ting Lan murmured, "Could it be... Penglai Cave Heaven?"
"Exactly."
The appearance of such a legendary name made Shang Xia even more excited. He clenched his fists and promised Zhao Ning, "Don't worry, great aunt, since everything is ready and only the east wind is needed, I, Shang Xia, must board the Penglai Immortal." The seat of the island’s genius.”
"Yeah." Zhao Ning responded.
And Ting Lan even joked, "Take it easy, you're the one doing the fine work."
Shang Xia chuckled.
But Ting Lan looked at Zhao Ning at this time, "Venerable Zhao Ning, since Shang Xia is willing to take the risk, I decided to go back to Suizhou."
Zhao Ning's eyes fell on her and she didn't speak.
Tinglan continued firmly, "You also know that the Ji Chang family is a giant family in Suizhou, and they are also a part of Yuyu Realm. It is more convenient to get the attitudes of the major forces from them than to test them one by one."
Before Zhao Ning could speak, Shang Xia retorted, "No, you will be discovered. Someone came from Kyushu!"
"There's no need to be nervous." Zhao Ning said calmly. She looked at Ting Lan, "Did Chang Yunsu secretly tell you about Jiuyou's passage back then?"
"Exactly. Aunt Yunsu treats me like her own child."
Zhao Ning paused for a moment, "Did you get any information about the people who came from Jiuyou Passage back then?"
"I heard that Venerable Shen Zhouyun and Dongtian Fenglie have been in seclusion for thirty thousand years and have not come out yet."
Zhao Ning stared at the tea in her hand, her expression slightly cold, and she just said, "It's up to you."
Ting Lan also told Shang Xia some important matters in Jiuzhou Cave, asking him to pay special attention when going to Penglai Cave.
Until dawn, when the pot of tea was gone, Zhao Ning suddenly said to Shang Xia, "I have something to say to Lan."
Shang Xia was stunned for a moment, but even if Zhao Ning didn't explain too much, he wouldn't ask any more questions, responded, and left the barrier.
When dawn turned dark, only Ting Lan and Zhao Ning were left. In the silent night, Ting Lan knelt down in front of Zhao Ning.
Even if Zhao Ning didn't say anything, Ting Lan knew what Zhao Ning wanted to say to her alone.
Ting Lan apologized, "I'm sorry, I still concealed the matter of the Moon and Star Wheel Chart."
"There is no need to apologize." Zhao Ning told her calmly, "Reversing the moon and star wheel chart can delay the period of time and ruins. This key information tells us that he is the benefactor of Kyushu."
"However, the imitation of the Pluto Moon and Star Wheel Diagram does exist in the fifth lineage of our Chang family."
Tinglan said, "The imitation of the Moon and Star Wheel Diagram was painted by our ancestor Chang Cheng'an. Before he passed the tribulation, he said that deriving this object might cause turmoil, and asked the fifth meridian master to put it away, but later my mother's family If you want to get this, let me act. After I refused, you stole it in some unknown way. Until the incident came to light, you pushed everything on me and made me take the blame."
So he was expelled from Jiuzhou.
"Which side is your mother's family from?"
"Suizhou Qilian Nangong."
The room was extremely quiet. Tinglan looked up subconsciously and saw Zhao Ning turning her teacup with lowered eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
"When you return to the Chang family, just act according to common sense."
Ting Lan said, "If Venerable Zhao Ning wants to find out the truth, there is no need to worry about my mother's family being involved. I am being pushed out like this, and I will not say anything for them."
"I understand. But...maybe there is a deeper hidden hand behind the scenes."
For a moment, the entire space was quiet.
Ting Lan was startled, then calmed down and relied on Zhao Ning's arrangement.
After a long time, the night wind blew in through the cracks in the window.
Ting Lan suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Your Majesty, was that silver light that night thirty years ago Senior Qin?"
Zhao Ning paused, "...Yes."
Ting Lan looked at it strangely and asked tentatively, "Does he know that you have recovered your memory?"
Zhao Ning did not speak, and Ting Lan thought that Zhao Ning was not clear about it, thinking about the closeness between Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan at the time of the ruins.
She asked, "Aren't you going to find Senior Qin?"
Zhao Ning was silent, and the hand in her sleeve subconsciously hooked into the sleeve pocket, and she would easily touch the ancient dragon-patterned jade pendant before she was reincarnated.
Now it is out of reach.
There seemed to be two emotions colliding in her heart.
