At midnight, the patrols of the black-robed law enforcement team intensified a lot, and the pine tar torches they raised illuminated the entire camp.
In the tent, most of the outer disciples only knew that a fierce battle broke out not long ago, but they did not know what happened specifically. They heard the footsteps walking away and approaching outside the tent, and they became even more worried. Regarding his own prospects, there is no better way than pretending to sleep.
Suppressive silence and progressive noise coexisted alternately, and the atmosphere in Ponderosa Valley began to become strange.
On the hillside, Mu Qing handed Ning Chu a few Ten Thousand Flower Pills. Ning Chu looked at the purse in Mu Qing's hand and said with a smile, "Did you put all the wealth of Wanhua Valley into it?"
Mu Qing smiled and said: "I heard from Shaoyao that she and her aunt had saved these Wanhua Dan for me for a long time, and now they belong to their owners."
"Oh? I didn't expect that junior sister would eat everything from the very beginning?"
A little smile appeared in the corner of Ning Chu's tired eyes. The guy in front of him was actually not an outsider. "It's just right for you to bring the Ten Thousand Flowers Pill. I can refine it with the Ten Thousand Flowers Heart Sutra and I can restore at least 70% of my strength."
Mu Qing quickly handed out a few more Ten Thousand Flower Pills to Ning Chu. When Ning Chu sat cross-legged and meditated, he said softly: "Sister, you haven't had a good rest these days, have you?"
Ning Chu raised his eyes and said solemnly: "Do you want to go down alone?"
Mu Qing nodded, raised his sword eyebrows slightly, and glanced down the hillside, "They are outnumbered. I will go to find out the situation by myself and then save them."
Ning Chu laughed at himself and said: "In the final analysis, I still show that I am a drag..."
Mu Qing sat directly next to Ning Chu and sighed: "I have been in a coma for a few days. I heard from Shaoyao that you haven't slept a wink since my aunt and I were in coma. Why bother fighting in such a state?"
Ning Chu stopped arguing and silently speeded up the digestion of the Wanhua Dan. Anyway, my legs will grow on my body by then. After you go down, it is not impossible for me to keep up.
As if hearing Ning Chu's thoughts, Mu Qing turned around and said, "Sister, if everything goes well, I will escort my uncle and the others away first, and you can pick them up on the hillside."
"Okay." Ning Chu agreed simply, took out another Ten Thousand Flower Pill and swallowed it.
"It's just that you... seem to have just been promoted to the second level not long ago. That night?"
Ning Chu asked in a rather cryptic way. Even if his relationship with Mu Qing was not bad, some privacy related to the cultivation of the Dao should not be pried out of curiosity.
Mu Qing originally felt that explaining Meng Zhang's matter was quite troublesome. He raised his chin and said confidently: "Senior sister, to be honest, I was probably the second-grade spiritual being who was promoted to the second level after that night. As for that night... I did Borrowing external power, I will probably try it again tonight, and by then, I will be able to fight at the late Transcendent level."
The more Ning Chu listened, the higher his frown became. His clear eyes fell on Mu Qing's face, "Are you going to be okay?"
Mu Qing's heart moved and he blurted out, "Senior sister, do you know the specific manifestations of Daohua? Is it becoming irrational, bad-tempered, or are there other possibilities? After I borrow external power, I may have such sequelae."
Although Ning Chu didn't know how serious the "Tao transformation" was, he still breathed a sigh of relief. Being able to know the price of gaining power proved that Mu Qing had not been overwhelmed by the sudden power.
"You can ask your uncle about this matter..." Ning Chu stopped talking.
Mu Qing sighed softly, the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley was really having a bad time, and it didn't matter that it was coveted by many parties, but the Bai family brothers and sisters still had to be used to raise an upright flagpole against the Bai family dynasty.
There was a hint of fatigue in Ning Chu's eyes. He looked at Mu Qing who was in a daze and said, "Actually, because of your actions that night, the current situation in Wanhua Valley is much better than the master expected."
"Senior sister, you are still talking about this out of the blue. Is it because you are still angry with me because of that guy Yue Jiu?"
Ning Chu was interrupted by such a fool, and he frowned and said angrily: "I want to say that it is not normal for Hidden Valley to do this now."
There was a coldness in Mu Qing's eyes: "If they push even further, they will eventually pay the price."
Ning Chu thought of the previous scene of reasoning with Zheng Shi, "If I want to reason with them, I'm afraid I can only beat them down. But if there is such a day, maybe we won't think about being reasonable. Dignity will always only be with the sword." Above the front."
However, there was always a trace of doubt lingering in Ning Chu's eyebrows.
With so many compromises in Wanhua Valley, Hidden Valley should be willing to maintain a stable and harmonious relationship. Why is it that they are not talking about Junior Sister Jiahe? Why are Chunmei and the others not returning to Wanhua Valley?
What do they want to do?
In fact, Bai Jianwen alone is enough to raise the banner of the rebellious Hibiscus Bai dynasty. But if he imprisoned the masters and uncles and hindered the restoration of stability in Wanhua Valley, wouldn't it be the interests of Hidden Valley that were lost?
Except for the current problem, the focus of the conflict is somewhat more important than the benefits brought by Ten Thousand Flowers Valley.
"Senior sister?" Mu Qing's voice was a little nervous and she suddenly fell silent. Could something have gone wrong?
Ning Chu shook his head, pursed his slightly dry lips, and said leisurely after a while: "Mu Qing, how much do you know about this so-called plan to change the world?"
Mu Qing looked slightly relaxed and recalled: "I only heard about it in the afternoon when I woke up. It seems that it was initiated by Bai Hu and his group."
Ning Chu's eyes were focused, and her mind was as sharp as hers. She always felt that Huangsong Valley was related to this matter, but she was still looking at things in the fog, and her understanding was not clear enough.
The rise and fall of Ning Chu's chest gradually calmed down, he exhaled a few breaths, rubbed the sword on his waist, and said: "My uncle and I, because of what happened a few days ago, we both had a fire in our hearts, so we rushed here regardless of what happened. Here, now that I think about it, there is something in it that has a trace of deliberateness.”
"By the way, are Shaoyao alone in Wanhua Valley?"
Ning Chu suddenly changed the topic. Mu Qing's face was stunned. He guessed a little and asked in surprise: "Senior sister?"
Ning Chu turned his head and his eyes stopped on Mu Qing's face. The originally green facial lines were a bit harder, and with the green beard on his chin, he gradually became more mature and reliable.
She laughed at herself and said softly: "Although I am the senior sister of Wanhua Valley, it is obvious that Wanhua Valley needs you more."
Whether it is the half of the earth spirit root that Huaifenghua will follow or the immature Zhang Shaoyao, they all need Mu Qing.
Mu Qing looked directly at Ning Chu's clear eyes, which were very close at hand. There was no emotion on his slightly tired face, "Senior Sister, Wanhua Valley is called Wanhua Valley because of you. If I didn't rescue Senior Uncle and the others, I would have done what I did before. Your efforts will be half the result with twice the result.”
"As long as people are alive, they will always encounter trouble. Either solve the trouble or be solved by the trouble. Compared with the unknown danger that has not yet arrived, I am more afraid of failing to protect the people around me when I am capable."
Mu Qing narrowed his eyes. Maybe Zhang Shaoyao would suddenly remember one day and understand why he was able to survive the twelve years in Hidden Valley.
Ning Chu's eyebrows slowly relaxed, and he took off the sword with a poem on his waist and handed it to Mu Qing, "We all expect others according to our own ideas, but you convinced me tonight."
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows and smiled, took the sword, stood up, and looked down at the fire dragons that were wandering down the hillside. "They patrol very frequently, but they still have half a stick of incense left. What suggestions does Senior Sister have?"
Ning Chu and Mu Qing stood in the same row, pointed to the center of the camp and said, "Junior sisters and the others should be locked up in this largest tent, and junior uncle is probably in it as well."
"Isn't it too obvious?"
"...It may be a bit hard to say, but...they know that we know this is a trap, why don't we understand it better."
Mu Qing was silent, the torches in the valley were not extinguished, and the night wind of hot and cold convection blew towards the ridge. Ning Chu pulled the loose hair behind his ears and said quietly: "A gentleman can deceive others, and the time will come when he hides in the valley." We will rescue you for sure. If we think further and take you into consideration, it will definitely not be just a few people."
"Zheng Shi, a second-grade man, has never used a weapon in a fight with me. So far, I only know that he has a defense that is not weaker than a first-grade man. As for the other two second-grade men, like my uncle who has been at the second grade for many years, he should leave if he wants to. You can, but if you want to break their marksmanship, my uncle can't do it, and I can't do it even more."
Ning Chu's detailed introduction reminded Mu Qing of the two brothers Zhang Zizhen and Zhang Zishan, one of whom used a sword and the other a sword.
"Zheng Shi is not slow to improve his realm, but he is not afraid even if he is already at the first level."
"What if it's an existence like the White Tiger?"
Ning Chu said: "Strength improvement obtained through external force will not last long, and there will be consequences."
Mu Qing was silent, he had indeed lost the battle with Bai Hu that night.
"Senior sister, if there is a strong person of the same level as White Tiger, I will definitely try my best to protect myself, don't worry. But if you encounter this worst situation, you must leave without looking back."
Before Ning Chu moved his lips, Mu Qing smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, I'm afraid you will distract me. In terms of my ability to save my life, I'm pretty good at it."
Ning Chu nodded, his eyes wandering among the dark gaps in the camp, all the way north, and said in deep thought: "Even if you are not discovered while sneaking, it is difficult to guarantee that your actions after rescuing Master Uncle and the others will not be discovered. At this time, most of their defense forces will be concentrated at the bottom of the hillsides on both sides."
Mu Qing nodded and looked along, "You mean, if you are discovered, go to the north entrance."
"Well, the north side is originally the entrance to the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley going south through the Ponderosa Pine Valley. After exiting the entrance, immediately turn east and walk through the swamp forest over there."
Ning Chu turned around and pointed with his arm, Mu Qing smiled knowingly, "I'm from that swamp forest."
Ning Chu remembered the noisy arrow rising into the night sky and glanced sideways at Mu Qing, "Is that noisy arrow also related to you?"
"Well, I happened to meet him, so I killed one of the Murong family's guards and let one go."
"Why did you let one go?"
Ning Chuke was never the woman Yourou hung up on. She had a serious look on her face at this moment, and Mu Qing was slightly ashamed, "It was my instructor who let him go. If Hidden Valley really wants to pursue the case, I will kill both of them."
Ning Chu looked at Mu Qing twice and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to think about this. I really am not afraid of being bitten by lice if I have too many."
