These demons were impressed by the manic power and resentment and malice of Shangqingtian itself. They were three times stronger than ordinary demons, and they seemed to be endless. Even though Zhao Ning had eliminated those demons, Zhao Ning still felt that there were more demons peeping around him. With.
Zhao Ning closed her eyes. Just because of the power of thunder just now, these demons did not dare to harass Zhao Ning for the time being.
She gathered all the remaining mana and divine light, allowing herself to become completely mortal, hiding in every place where the demonic energy passed by.
At this moment, Zhao Ning suddenly understood why the people in Shangqingtian wanted to go to the Ninth Heaven. This is not a place for living beings to seek enlightenment.
But, just like that, Zhao Ning clearly knew that at least before the Shangqingtian Dao species invaded the Nine Heavens, Shangqingtian was not such a chaotic place, at least there were no demons, fearing that the eroder would be eroded in turn.
Zhao Ning lay on the ground for a long time, until the light in the sky faded, and the entire sky fell into thick darkness. There was no moonlight, no starlight, it was completely dark. There were not even fireflies flying in the forest. Occasionally, a few could be heard. There is a sound of insects chirping, but it will stop suddenly, as if it has been swallowed by something.
Zhao Ning didn't move. She looked inside her body and slowly recovered her injuries and mana.
But there seemed to be strange creatures in the darkness, following the flow of darkness and approaching Zhao Ning.
Under the ultimate night, he approached quietly, until he was about to touch Zhao Ning. Zhao Ning suddenly opened his eyes, and golden light passed through his eyes. He raised his hand and clasped it, wrapped in golden light. There was something in the darkness. There was a sound, and with another tug, the strange thing in the darkness was forcibly pulled out, thrown away, and dissipated. It was a shadow with no form or realm, only a dark shadow of pure destructive power.
It was extremely weird, and after Zhao Ning destroyed one of them, the weird creatures in the darkness did not disperse. They had no consciousness at all, and they only wanted to corrode living creatures.
A bit of golden light shrouded Zhao Ning's body, and the next strange creature that was touched dissipated even without Zhao Ning's movement.
Zhao Ning sensed the last breath of the creature before it dispersed, and suddenly realized that this creature might be the realization of those negative forces such as demonic energy, resentment, murderous energy, evil spirit, etc.
For a long time, Zhao Ning was unnerved by such an attack. He sat up with his body propped up and pressed his palms on the ground. From this, circles of golden light spread out like waves. In an instant, the darkness retreated three feet.
Zhao Ning stood up. In the pitch-black night, she couldn't tell what time Zhao Ning was at this moment, but she didn't want to be entangled with these weird shadows anymore.
The night was extremely long. Zhao Ning walked down the mountain. After at least seven or eight hours, the sky was still as dark as ink, and the naked eye could not see more than three feet.
So is this why the clear sky needs light?
Zhao Ning walked to the foot of the mountain and felt weak fluctuations in her consciousness, which should be where the human race gathered. She followed the direction.
Still a hundred feet away from the place, Zhao Ning sensed a shrill scream in the darkness not far away. It was a wild cat entangled in a dark shadow.
The wild cat struggled fiercely, but once those dark shadows entangled it, they sucked its life away.
At this moment, a thin figure rushed out and smashed the fire folder at him, "Let go of Xiao Huang!"
The immature little girl's voice carries the fearlessness of her age.
When it touched the fire, the dark shadow shrank. The wild cat twisted dexterously and fell directly to the ground. Maybe cats have nine lives, but the cat who was restrained like this could still move quickly and climbed up on the little girl in an instant. on the body.
The fire fold that was thrown out did not support the light of three breaths. The little girl also knew that the light was about to go out, so she ran forward quickly.
However, no matter how fast the little girl ran, her short legs could not move very far. Within a breath, she was overtaken by the dark shadow. The shadow hooked the little girl's ankle and threw her straight to the ground. The cat was also hit. On the ground, the little girl scrambled her feet in fear, and the cat bowed its back and was covered in fur.
Zhao Ning paused, and as soon as his consciousness moved, those dark shadows were frozen in place.
But the little girl didn't know it. While screaming, she took out a talisman from her arms, folded it into a triangle, and held it in front of her, "Don't come here!"
Zhao Ning's brows moved slightly, and she vaguely sensed the power of ice in the triangular talisman. She lowered her eyes slightly. There should be no ice avenue in this Shangqingtian, which only has the avenue of innate destruction, unless...
With his thoughts moving slightly, Zhao Ning walked towards the little girl.
The little girl was temporarily unaware of Zhao Ning who was dozens of feet away. She saw that under the icy blue light of the triangular talisman, the thick darkness seemed to be no longer approaching. She boldly said, "Let's go, Xiao Huang, let's go home." .”
As he spoke, he took a few steps back, then ran back regardless.
Zhao Ning did not stop the little girl, and even helped the little girl disperse the dark shadow behind her. There was a village ten feet behind the little girl.
The village was wrapped in a shimmering barrier, barely able to isolate itself from the erosion of darkness.
However, the little girl was still three or four feet away from the entrance of the village, and several elderly people rushed out from the village, all holding torches, with fear on their faces. It might be fear of the dark, or fear of the little girl disappearing. , Fortunately, before running a few steps, the little girl and the old people bumped into each other.
The little girl shouted in surprise, "Grandpa!"
But the old people didn't even have time to show their joy. They just waved their torches and grabbed the little girl and went into the village.
In fact, waving torches cannot eliminate the approach of dark shadows. These dark shadows just don't like light. They will extinguish the light immediately, so for people, torches can stop the darkness for a while.
Zhao Ning was already standing at the entrance of the village, but she did not walk into the light curtain. Her figure was still hidden in the darkness. The dark shadows wanted to get closer but did not dare to get close. She stared at the stone tablet outside the village entrance. On the stone tablet The name of the village is engraved on it, called Qianshan Village. The surface of the stone tablet is engraved with mysterious and ancient patterns. The light flowing on the patterns is the core of the light curtain of the entire village, which should be used for town planning.
The old people who entered the village threw their torches angrily. One of the old men took one of the little girl's arms and beat her up. He was obviously very angry.
"How many times have I told you not to go outside the village when darkness falls. You will die!"
"If you hadn't gone far this time, you would have died!"
"I'm not dead!" the little girl retorted, "and I brought Xiao Huang back, so the darkness is not so scary!"
The little girl's words made the old man almost explode with anger. He walked a few steps in place and then went to catch the cat. "I have to kill the wild cat today to save you from sneaking out next time."
"No!" the little girl screamed. She held the cat in her arms just before the old man caught her. She whimpered, "You can't kill Xiao Huang, Xiao Huang is my only one." Friends, Aji can’t live without friends.”
The old man was so stunned by the little girl's words that he groaned on the spot. The old man next to him had no choice but to say, "Forget it, it's okay this time. It won't happen next time. Aji is the only child in our village, we can't let her We old guys have always been depressed together, so don’t make the children depressed too.”
"Hey!" The little girl's grandfather was angry and helpless, turning his head and not wanting to look at the sobbing child.
The comforting old man also went to tell the little girl, "Aji, good child, there are very scary things in the darkness that will devour life. You can't go into the darkness anymore. You must stay at home well at night, even if you have a room." Don’t even leave the door.”
The little girl sobbed and looked at the elderly people around her. She had heard these words many times since she was born. She heard that her parents had stayed away because of this.
However, the little girl still didn't understand. She unfolded the triangular talisman in her palm and said, "There is nothing scary in the dark. Even if there is, this talisman can protect me!"
The elderly people took a look and sighed when they saw this thing, as if they thought of their kidnapped children.
The little girl's grandfather scolded her, "Hurry up and put it away! Your father paid for this with his life. He can only save you once! If you use it casually, I will break your legs, old man! Put it away!"
Seeing his grandfather reprimanding him like this, A Ji pursed his lips, and in the end couldn't help but bury himself in Xiao Huang's back fur and cry loudly.
Zhao Ning watched this scene. This was an ordinary mortal village. The old people had no cultivation, and there were no young people in the village, male or female. There was only a naughty little girl, A Ji. Listening to the meaning of their words, I was afraid that she was young. Everyone was taken away.
Zhao Ning lowered her eyes, her gaze fell on the stone tablet, looking at the twisting lines on the tablet's surface. This clear sky seemed more cruel than Kyushu.
She moved her fingertips slightly, and the golden light followed the lines on the surface of the monument, forming a seal, which was superimposed on the monument again. For an instant, the light screen became a little brighter.
Several elderly people were startled and raised their heads at the same time, but at this moment, the darkness in the sky parted, the darkness outside the village faded away like running water, and light appeared in the sky again, but this time it was in the east.
"It's dawn," someone shouted.
At the same time, another old man noticed Zhao Ning at the entrance of the village and asked in shock and alert, "Who are you?"
The little girl's grandfather hugged Aji tightly.
Zhao Ning raised her eyes and nodded slightly, "Practice practitioners passing by this place wonder if they can rest for a day or two."
Seeing Zhao Ning's kind attitude, the elderly people breathed a sigh of relief and bowed in a nondescript manner.
"The Immortal is here, you can do whatever you want. However, we really don't have any young people in Qianshan Village." The old man at the head quickly added, "Aji was born without a Dantian, so she can't practice."
Chapter 432
Zhao Ning was welcomed into Qianshan Village and temporarily brought into Xiao Ji's home. Several elderly people were still cautious and followed Xiao Bu. They pushed each other, as if they had something to ask but didn't dare to ask.
Until we were sitting at Xiao Ji's house, several elderly people pulled Grandpa Xiao Ji outside and said a few words, then pushed Grandpa Xiao Ji in.
Grandpa Xiao Ji hesitated, and after a while, he brought tea.
"Master Immortal, you drink tea. In the small mountain village, the tea is a little stale. Don't mind."
Zhao Ning just said "no problem" and sipped the tea gently. It was a bit thicker and astringent than ordinary tea in Kyushu. This was probably due to the influence of the aura of heaven and earth during the growth of camellia.
Xiao Ji held Mao'er and looked at her carefully. He couldn't get enough of her, so he just half-covered his eyes and stared at her secretly.
Zhao Ning didn't pay attention, but Xiao Ji's grandfather hit Xiao Ji, which almost made Xiao Ji cry again.
Only then did Zhao Ning look up. Grandpa Xiao Ji stopped his hand, but Xiao Ji was bold. She immediately stopped her tears and stared with her round eyes, saying, "Sister Fairy, you are so beautiful."
Zhao Ning put down the tea cup and replied with a smile, "Xiao Ji is also cute." But Xiao Ji insisted, "Sister Fairy, she is fairer and cleaner than the fairy masters Xiao Ji has seen. There are many of them." The mark is so ugly, so ugly!”
Zhao Ning paused for a moment, remembering that the marks on the primitive cultivators in Tianwaitian were filled with demonic aura. They could easily be confused with half-demon, but they were actually human cultivators. However, they believed in demon gods and obtained their power from demon gods. Therefore, they had Then the mark appeared, and now, the demonic energy in the world is raging. Even if it is not demonized, I am afraid it will be affected to some extent, forming demon spots or the like.
"This is caused by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth." Zhao Ning explained gently.
Xiao Ji's eyes widened. She didn't quite understand, so she blinked and raised the triangular talisman again, "Is it the same as the spiritual energy cultivated by this fairy sister? Is it the unique power of Feng Ming?"
"Xiao Ji!" At this point, Grandpa Xiao Ji interrupted Xiao Ji. He was very nervous, "Don't talk nonsense. With the power of the immortal master, you even have a closed Dantian acupoint. How can you understand? Get out quickly. Go play with Xiao Huang."
Xiao Ji refused, but his grandfather had already lifted him up. He couldn't twist it anymore, and he was sent out the door after a while.
Zhao Ning looked at it. Although she was a little interested in the power of the triangular talisman, she did not stop it and just took another sip of tea.
Sure enough, Grandpa Xiao Ji came back alone nervously and stood at the door, not daring to go in, as if this was not his home and he was the trespasser.
Zhao Ning asked quietly, "Does the old man have something to say?"
Grandpa Xiao Ji hesitated for a moment, "Master Immortal, did you come down from Shiyue Mountain?"
Zhao Ning shook his head, "No."
Grandpa Xiao Ji was a little disappointed, but after finally meeting the immortal master again, he asked again, "Then do you know when the young people and children who were taken to Shiyue Mountain will come back?"
Zhao Ning looked at him, but in fact, under his gaze, every object in the house was filled with invisible energy. These energies were intertwined with each other and presented a past that only Zhao Ning could see.
About five or six years ago, some Qi Refining disciples wearing sect services forcefully broke into Qianshan Village. They heard the old people in Qianshan Village calling them "immortal masters of the Qilai Sect", but these Qi Refining disciples just ignored them. Instead, they saw young people and children and took one away in each hand.
The elders in the village chased after them in fear, asking, "They are not possessed by demons. Why are they taken away? Can the immortal master please let them go?"
The Qi Refining disciples just shook their bodies and threw the old people away. They said in a condescending cold voice, "Look at what time it is now. The whole Feng Ming is full of demonic energy. Even if you are mortals and go to the battlefield, you will still have to fight." Slaughter the demon, don’t even think about hiding in the wilderness to escape the world, get out of here.”
At that time, even Xiao Ji, a child of only two or three years old, was arrested.
But it was Xiao Ji's grandfather and her parents who kept talking. Xiao Ji was born with her Dantian blocked, so she was probed by the Qi Refining disciple, and was thrown back with a frown.
The rest have no intention of turning around.
Zhao Ning withdrew her gaze, the light and shadow dispersed, and she said softly, "If it is to slay demons, then as long as it is dark and the darkness is still threatening, I am afraid they will not come back."
Grandpa Xiao Ji snorted, closed his eyes tightly, and slid to the ground along the door frame. In fact, they all knew it in their hearts, but so what if they knew it. How could this darkness that spread across the entire Fengming Continent, and this omnipresent demonic energy, be possible? was completely cleared.
He buried his head and couldn't help but cry in a suppressed voice.
Zhao Ning averted her eyes, maybe it was like this before the Great Purge in Kyushu.
There were several elderly people waiting anxiously outside the hospital. Not long after, Grandpa Xiao Ji wiped his cloudy eyes randomly, lowered his head and said, "Master Xian, please rest first," and then went out.
Zhao Ning's eyes swept across the house and looked towards the inner room. The inner room was blocked by curtains. Invisible energy spread from the curtains, so new light and shadow appeared retroactively.
Before the recruitment of young people in Shiyue Mountain, this mortal residence was a happy one. The young woman walked out with the child in her arms. The considerate husband hurriedly opened the curtain in a few steps. The woman coaxed the infant child, and the husband was also playing with it.
"Xiao Ji is so cute." The man said, and then took out the treasured triangular talisman from his arms. The talisman was wrapped with a red rope and hung down from the red rope. He waved it in front of the swaddled baby, "Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji , this is a life-saving treasure, dad will leave it to you now, you have to take good care of it."
