As she said this, she was about to stuff the baby into the swaddling clothes. The woman didn't know when a sad look appeared on her face, "I live like this and I don't know when tomorrow will end."
"I don't know." The man also sighed, "Just live one day at a time. With this talisman, Xiao Ji will be able to grow up safely."
"Is it true?" the woman said melancholy, "When you rescued the fairy back then, she was also seriously injured. Even she couldn't live in peace in this world. Can you really do it with just this talisman? "
The man also understood and sighed, "At least I can save the child's life."
At this time, the light and shadow dispersed into invisible energy again. Zhao Ning turned to look at the door and saw Xiao Ji poking his head outside.
"Xiao Ji, come in." Zhao Ning called. The gentle voice made Xiao Ji hesitate for a moment, and then she ran in directly. She stood in front of Zhao Ning, looked up at Zhao Ning, and asked, " Sister Fairy, can you take me to see my parents?"
Zhao Ning pulled her to sit on a small chair, "Then do you know where they are?"
Xiao Ji nodded heavily, "Grandpas said they were all in the Qi'an sect in Shiyue Mountain. However, every time I ran to the foot of Shiyue Mountain, it was getting dark, and I always had no chance to go up the mountain. Grandpa said it was still , Only the immortal masters can enter the deep mountains of Shiyue Mountain, because the immortal masters are very fast and can stay in the dark for a longer time, so they will definitely be able to see my parents."
The little guy looked closely at Zhao Ning, not hiding his plea.
Zhao Ning did not answer her.
The corners of Xiao Ji's mouth tightened, and she was about to cry. She said, "Why can other children in the village stay with their parents, but I can't? Is it because I was born with a blocked Dantian?"
The little guy looks seven or eight years old, but he understands very well in his heart and is still insisting on it.
She leaned forward and tugged at the corner of Zhao Ning's clothes, "Sister Fairy, please, take me to see them. I have almost forgotten what my parents look like. Just take a look at them. If they Now that they have become immortal masters, Xiao Ji can rest assured. Otherwise, Xiao Ji will always dream about how miserable they are."
It's probably a heart-to-heart connection between blood.
Zhao Ning paused and stood up slowly. Xiao Ji was nervous. She was afraid that Sister Xianzi would no longer pay attention to her. She also stood up quickly and grabbed Zhao Ning's clothes tighter.
But Zhao Ning reached out to her, but Xiao Ji was confused and stared up, not knowing what to do.
Zhao Ning said, "Sister Fairy will take you to see your parents, but only this time."
Xiao Ji's eyes lit up and he nodded heavily, holding Zhao Ning's hand tightly with his little hand, "Okay!"
Zhao Ning took her a few steps and stepped out of the gate. However, it was not the courtyard of Xiao Ji's family, but the entrance of Qianshan Village.
Xiao Ji looked back in surprise, and could vaguely see people in the village busy, and could even see the sighing shadows of her grandfather and neighbors. She shrank suddenly and pulled the hem of Zhao Ning's clothes to block her, for fear of being discovered. .
Zhao Ning looked down at her little head, shook her head slightly, and then moved around, but she was reduced to an inch. Before Xiao Ji could react, she had already reached the foot of Shiyue Mountain.
Shiyue Mountain is a medium-sized mountain range. There are many sects hidden in the mountain range. These sects are covered by formations and hidden deep in the mountains.
However, affected by the chaos of heaven and earth, many sects seemed to have only ruins left, and the formations had dimmed, but the remaining spiritual power of the formation eyes maintained them.
"Have you... arrived at Shiyue Mountain already?" Xiao Ji asked in disbelief, looking around, "I seem to have reached here the furthest time, and that stone was marked by me."
There is a rock not far away, embedded three feet into the ground, and the surface is only half a foot away. The face of the cat was carved on it at some point.
There is at least a dozen miles between here and Qianshan Village. The little guy really ran far, and he was really brave and lucky. Whenever he encountered the wandering demon, he would already be dead.
Zhao Ning paused for a moment, then took Xiao Ji and walked a few steps into the mountain. This time, she deliberately did not shrink to an inch. Then, the situation in the mountain forest was presented in detail in front of the two of them. Xiao Ji couldn't help but tremble, "Sister Fairy, Why is it so quiet in this mountain, not even the sound of insects? Is it going to be dark?"
The daytime in Fengming Continent is not bright. When brilliance appears on the horizon, it is daytime. The direction is uncertain, and the brilliance only appears at the edge. There is no scene of the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. This leads to the farther away from the edge, the more the sun will rise. , the darker it gets, especially when you go deep into the mountains, it gets even darker, but at least there is some light. Until the light in the sky disappears and darkness comes completely, there is no trace of light and you can't see your fingers.
"No." Zhao Ning patted her head, "Isn't there still light in the sky?"
Xiao Ji subconsciously looked back. They were walking with their backs to the light, but when they looked, they saw a black shadow spreading behind them.
She screamed and hugged Zhao Ning's thigh, "Sister Fairy, there is something following us."
Zhao Ning glanced at it and said lightly "Yeah".
Xiao Ji was more curious than timid, so he looked through his fingers again, and the black shadow happened to come out, with blood dripping from its mouth and demonic blood marks on its body. It was extremely terrifying. Xiao Ji almost fainted at this sight.
"Go quickly, go quickly." Xiao Ji urged in fear, "It will eat us."
"Yeah." Zhao Ning responded again, and took another step forward, already walking several feet away. Xiao Ji looked back and saw the thing chasing after him, and was startled to cry, "What is that thing? We Are you going to die?"
"Monster." Zhao Ning told her.
After taking a few more steps, I saw more similar monsters emerging from the mountains and forests, as well as shapeless low-level demons.
Before the low-level demon appeared in front of Xiao Ji's eyes, he was crushed to pieces by a golden light.
Xiao Ji was already frightened. When they stood at the door of the Qi'an Sect, the monsters disappeared. Xiao Ji cried and asked, "Why are there so many terrible monsters in Shiyue Mountain?"
Zhao Ning touched her head and said, "There are many monsters in every mountain."
The little guy burst into tears in an instant.
Zhao Ning let her cry and stared at the Zhenzong formation in front of her. Her eyes could easily penetrate the barrier. However, there was a slight gap between the Qi'an sect and Zhao Ning's expectations. In recent years, the Qi'an sect had forcibly recruited young people and The child entered the sect to practice, trying to use numbers to eliminate the Shiyue Mountain monsters and low-level demons. However, at first glance, the sect was quite desolate, and it did not look like there were many disciples.
Looking through the layers of confinement, Zhao Ning saw sporadic figures appearing in the core area of the sect. These disciples were only at the highest level of foundation building. Their spiritual energy was mixed in their bodies, and there were some scars on their bodies. It was not because they were possessed by demons or demonic patterns, but because they were inside their bodies. Impurities accumulate on the body surface.
All of these can be ignored, but one thing cannot be ignored. They carry more or less resentment and blood, which is not their own, but is invisibly contaminated by killing or torturing others.
It seems that Zhao Ning thinks that the Xi'an sect is too decent. They recruit young people or children not only to kill demons.
The little one was frightened and couldn't stop for a while. Zhao Ning did not comfort her and even led her straight into the Qiling Sect.
So, the cry became the most deafening reminder.
As soon as Zhao Ning and Xiao Jifu stepped into the core of the Qilan Sect, they were surrounded by dozens of Qilan Sect disciples.
"Who are you!" The leading disciple shouted, very vigilant. He couldn't think of anyone who could pass through the Zhenzong formation quietly. No, not silently. He glanced at the child, that child No longer daring to cry, he just hugged the woman and hid under his clothes.
Zhao Ning touched Xiao Ji's head and said, "Do you know anyone?"
Xiao Ji then poked his head out, happened to look at the leading disciple, and pointed suddenly, "That's him, he took my parents away."
The leading disciple could not recognize Xiao Ji. He was frightened and furious when he saw them acting so unscrupulously.
"Kill them!" He ordered directly.
The surrounding disciples did not hesitate and attacked directly with unified spirit swords.
Zhao Ning's robe blocked Xiao Ji's eyes, "Don't look, you know?"
Xiao Ji arched her head under her sleeves in a nod.
The next moment, dozens of miserable exclamations were heard. Most of them were too noisy, but those voices were suddenly stopped.
The leader of the disciples was holding the sword and trembling all over. He looked at the disciples who were frozen in mid-air and couldn't imagine what kind of power had caused them to behave like this.
At this time, a faint voice was heard, "Can you take us to find someone from Qianshan Village?"
The leading disciple looked at Zhao Ning, not daring to make any move, and said in a trembling voice, "He... they are in the dungeon."
"Let's go." Zhao Ning said.
The leading disciple turned around stiffly. He led the way with one staggering step at a time. Zhao Ning led Xiao Ji and slowly followed behind. They left the encirclement. The disciples of the Qi'an sect who were frozen in mid-air fell to the ground and rolled over.
Xiao Ji took a sneak peek behind him and made a face.
The leading disciple led them past the main hall, and several figures rushed out from the main hall. Their highest cultivation level was only in the middle stage of Jindan, and most of them were low-grade Jindan. Before the scolding could be shouted out, the invisible pressure made them directly He fell to his knees, unable to raise his head.
The leading disciple was frightened, but Xiao Ji simply didn't understand. After the half-cup of tea incident, he walked around the main hall and entered the dungeon in the back mountain. The dungeon was full of blood and filled with evil spirits. Xiao Ji was covered under his clothes. In the blink of an eye, the demonic energy that tried to attack him dissipated.
But when I went inside, I saw more bones, and most of them were twisted and deformed. There was mixed power left on them, which was the same as the black shadow Zhao Ning encountered when he first entered Shangqingtian. It was just because the bones themselves had low cultivation. , and it won’t become that kind of extremely threatening monster.
Zhao Ning's expression darkened slightly. She probably knew what the Qi'an sect was doing. She was really thinking too brightly.
Until the leading disciple led Zhao Ning and stood in front of a small dungeon. There were more than a dozen people imprisoned in a place less than ten feet square. Most of them were in a miserable state and were dying.
"Just... right here." The leading disciple said tremblingly.
"Are we there?" Xiao Ji's sight was covered all the way, and he couldn't see it until here.
Someone in the dungeon was startled, and he heard Xiao Ji's voice. The person turned over very slowly in the filthy grass inside, and looked towards the outside with turbid eyes. When he saw Xiao Ji, his pupils dilated, and he stumbled to the door. During this period, I stepped on several people, but they didn't make any sound. I don't know if they were numb or dead.
"Xiao Ji!" he shouted.
Xiao Ji heard the sound, hesitated for a moment, opened his clothes in surprise, and ran forward, but before he took a few steps, he was stunned by the sight in front of him.
"No, no, Xiao Ji, don't be afraid, dad is here, dad is here." The man said, and Xiao Ji moved forward in fear. It was obvious that the face of the man in front of her was covered with scars, and his face could not be seen clearly. Xiao Ji still recognized that this was her father.
"Dad." She howled, standing in front of the door, wanting to get closer but not daring to do so.
The man stretched out his hands to reach her, but he couldn't reach her, so he could only comfort her with helpless words.
Zhao Ning looked at these people. Their spiritual acupoints were completely opened, and the mixed spiritual energy of heaven and earth poured into their meridians without any "filter", allowing them to forcefully introduce the energy into their bodies. Those who could survive would be able to cultivate. However, if they could not survive the foundation building, those who could not survive would explode and die.
However, it is obvious that the Qi'an Sect is not only forcing them to have cultivation, but the mixed power in them seems to have been deliberately "poured" into it, so that they appear to be neither demons nor humans. If they go deeper, they will Become a monster.
Zhao Ning's eyes fell on the leading disciple, and it was just a look. The leading disciple was overwhelmed and knelt directly on the ground. He could not say anything, and his whole body was limp and trembling.
The imprisoned Xiao Ji's father didn't know Zhao Ning's identity, and only thought he was with the Qi'lan sect. He shouted, "Why should Xiao Ji be captured? She has no Dantian, she can't practice at all, and she can't become a Your 'God of War', haven't you tortured us enough?! Ah!"
"God of War?" This word sounds nice, but I don't know if it's to create a demon-slaying puppet or for something else.
Xiao Ji reacted and said quickly, "It's none of Sister Xianzi's business. Sister Xianzi is a good person. It was Sister Xianzi who brought Xiao Ji here. Dad, you see, Sister Xianzi is different from them."
Xiao Ji's father's yellow eyes trembled. Several years of torture had made him no longer trust anyone, even if the fairy in front of him looked like a goddess descending from the Nine Heavens.
Zhao Ning took a step forward, and Xiao Ji's father fell to the ground in fright. "What are you going to do?" His eyes kept glancing at Xiao Ji. It was a kind of sadness that he wanted to protect his daughter but was unable to do so. Until Xiao Ji moved to Zhao Ning. After walking a few steps beside Ning, he knelt down and shouted, "Xiao Ji, come back, Xiao Ji."
Xiao Ji didn't understand. Zhao Ning was already standing at the door. There was a thin restriction at the door. Xiao Ji pulled Zhao Ning's sleeve and looked at it in confusion.
Zhao Ning asked, "What did they capture you for? Didn't they let you practice and then kill demons?"
"Slaying demons? Haha, slaying demons?" He smiled twistedly, his eyes full of hatred, "What kind of demons are you killing? Don't you want to become a demon?!"
Zhao Ning was startled for a moment, and suddenly understood a little. The mixed spiritual energy of heaven and earth covered the entire Shangqing Heaven, and the evil energy of heavenly demons was everywhere. If he could not kill the demons, he would become a demon.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Ning slowly shook his head. The people in the prison should be the test subjects of the Qilu Sect, and the people locked up in this dungeon should be the only survivors. Unfortunately, it seems that the effect is not very good. But at least they did not turn into murderous puppets or unconscious monsters under such torture and infection, which can be praised.
Zhao Ning stretched out her hand and tapped her finger in the air. Xiao Ji's father's eyes widened. He couldn't understand, only fear, "You, what are you going to do?"
The next moment, waves appeared out of thin air, and some golden light scattered from the waves. A bit of golden light floated towards Xiao Ji's father. He didn't dare to accept it. He swerved back suddenly, but fell to the ground. Even if he fell, he would rub his back. Until he was blocked by someone from behind, and that bit of golden light fell into his eyebrows.
"No -" he screamed, but stopped suddenly the next moment. He felt a change in his body. He subconsciously opened his hands and saw thick black air rising from the scar, then dissipating in the void until it finally reached the meridians. The mixed spiritual energy disappeared, and the scars caused by the infection faded. He felt a little warmth between his eyebrows, and then the burning feeling between his eyebrows disappeared.
"What...what's going on." He slapped his body subconsciously with both hands. Without the huge power of spiritual power, he was just like an ordinary person at the moment.
He looked up in astonishment and saw those floating golden lights falling on each person in the dungeon one by one. Xiao Ji's father suddenly stood up, took three steps and two steps to the corner of the dirty grass where he was originally. There was still a person hiding inside. It's a woman, none other than Xiao Ji's mother.
She had very little air left. When she opened the book, golden light fell down. Just like Xiao Ji's father, the black energy rose and dissipated. Then, her beautiful face returned to its original appearance, her consciousness slowly returned, and a ��������������������������������������������������������������������������������. Wake up.
"Madam!" Xiao Ji's father shouted excitedly.
Xiao Ji also rushed to the door and shouted, "Mom!"
This "Mother" is far more powerful than any name or language. The woman suddenly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the thin little Ji at the door. Five or six years later, she had completely lost her original appearance, but her bloodline The contact made her shed tears suddenly, it was recognition.
She even pushed away her husband who was holding her and ran directly towards Xiao Ji.
