Lu Marian looked at the little girl in wet Taoist robes in front of her. After a few breaths, her stiff thoughts gradually thawed.
Ning Xiaoling walked over with a smile, covering her head with one hand and waving to her with the other.
Lu Marry folded the note, put it back in her sleeve, and smiled forcefully: "It's the prescription your senior brother gave me. I just remembered it, so I took a look."
Ning Xiaoling looked her over and said in surprise: "Sister Lu, is she injured again?"
Lu Yuemou subconsciously touched her waist and slid the scaly scabbard between her fingers, only to find that the sword had been taken away by the mysterious man and was no longer with her at the moment.
She stroked the scabbard intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "Now that the imperial city is in turmoil, sister Ning should stay at home and stop walking around."
Ning Xiaoling looked aggrieved and said, "But I'm worried about senior brother. Sister Lu is so powerful, please accompany me to find senior brother."
Lu Marian's heart tightened, and she said calmly: "I'm sorry, I have to go to the palace now. Your senior brother is not simple, so he should be fine."
She didn't want to say anything more and walked towards the blue and white sedan.
Ning Xiaoling suddenly stepped forward quickly and grabbed her sleeve.
It was a very simple pull. Even if Lu Yuemou was weak at the moment, she could break free with just a little force. But for some reason, she remembered the words on the note, and the chill on her back was like needles pricking her, making her feel stiff and paralyzed. The feeling lingered for a long time. She looked at Ning Xiaoling holding her little hand and was in a dilemma for a while.
Ning Xiaoling raised her head and looked at her pitifully: "Sister Lu, I'm afraid, I can't even find the yard now..."
Lu Jianjian forced herself to maintain even breathing and said softly: "Xiao Ling, stop fooling around."
Ning Xiaoling glanced at the sedan with fluttering white curtains and said, "Why don't you, sister, take me to the palace?"
"What are you doing in the palace?" Lu Jiaoyue blurted out, then realized that her tone was unusually tough.
Ning Xiaoling looked at the suddenly fierce woman in front of her, pulled her sleeves, and said innocently: "The rain has started to rain heavily again, and I can't find my way back. Sister, can you bear to see me getting wet outside? "
After Ning Xiaoling finished speaking, she loosened her sleeves and walked toward the blue and white sedan with an angry look on her face.
"Wait!" Lu Marian shouted.
Ning Xiaoling turned around, opened her eyes wide, and said, "Didn't Sister Lu say that she wanted to accept me as her disciple? Are you going to regret it now..."
Lu Marry shook her head subconsciously, "No, it's just..."
Ning Xiaoling blinked and waited for her to continue.
Lu Marian held the scabbard with her hand. I wonder if it was because of preconceptions. Every word spoken by the little girl in front of her was very ordinary, but at this moment, there was a strange atmosphere in her ears.
The rain was getting heavier again, and the sky was full of broken wires, crackling to the ground, and countless water splashes bloomed.
This brief stalemate seemed extremely long.
Ning Xiaoling had already gotten into the sedan, lifted the white curtain and looked at her, saying, "Sister, come in quickly."
Lu Marian's chest rose and fell, and she suddenly wanted to take off the scabbard and knock the girl unconscious.
Just when this thought came to mind, a man's voice sounded behind him.
"Miss Lu, you are here. Hey, Junior Sister, you are also here... That's great. I have been looking for you for a long time and made Senior Brother worried. Didn't I say not to run around?"
Hearing this voice, Lu Marian finally relaxed. She turned around, looked at a young man in white clothes standing with an umbrella, and smiled to herself.
Lu Marian felt relieved and said, "Taoist Priest Xiao Ning, your junior sister is also looking for you."
Ning looked at the girl in the sedan for a long time, walked over and pulled her out, and said with a smile: "What, you want to elope with Miss Lu? Don't you want senior brother?"
Ning Xiaoling said innocently: "I didn't find you."
Ning looked at Lu Marry for a long time, bowed, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to Miss Lu."
Lu Marry returned the gift and said, "You two are kind to me, so why bother?"
Ning Jiujiu said: "There was another fight in the palace before. I'm afraid the palace is not safe now. Girls should be careful."
Lu Marry nodded lightly.
Ning took a long look at the empty scabbard at her waist, then pulled Ning Xiaoling and left.
Lu Marian looked at the retreating figures of the senior brother and sister.
Ning Jiujiu's umbrella tilted towards the girl beside him.
She bit her lower lip, turned around and entered the sedan. The sedan floated into the air due to the induction.
The blue and white sedan was like a hotbed, exuding rich spiritual energy, wrapping her like silk, blending into her snow-like skin little by little, nourishing her body and soul like the sweet rain after a long drought.
Lu Marian felt truly at ease at this moment. She stopped thinking about anything and drove the sedan chair back to the temple.
Covered by the white curtains of snow and gauze, her sleeping figure looked blurry.
…
…
Ning held an umbrella for a long time. Ning Xiaoling looked up at him and asked, "Senior brother, how did you find me?"
Ning Jiujiu said: "Just ask for directions. Along the way, I asked if I had seen such a tall and beautiful little girl. I found you very quickly."
Ning Xiaoling snorted: "Senior brother, you're lying. There's no one on this street. I didn't see them all the way here."
Ning Jiujiu smiled and said: "What? You seem a little unhappy after meeting your senior brother?"
Ning Xiaoling said: "Of course I'm happy that senior brother is fine, but I could have gone to the palace with Sister Lu to visit, but senior brother disturbed me."
Ning Jiujiu rubbed her head and said, "What's so good about the palace? It's gloomy inside, and there's a big fox watching covetously outside. If Xiaoling goes there, if that woman named Zhao Xianger can't tell the difference between us and the enemy, What if I eat you little fox in one bite?"
Ning Xiaoling shivered unconsciously, crossed her arms tightly, and said, "I think the sister named Zhao Xianger is a good match for her senior brother."
Ning Changjiu smiled and asked, "Why do you say that suddenly?"
Ning Xiaoling said: "It's just a feeling..."
Ning Jiujiu shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Highness has stirred up trouble in this city all by himself. Anyone who marries her will be thinking that he has a long life. There is no such fool in the world."
Ning Xiaoling said with a smile: "Sister Zhao Xiang'er, just based on her face, there are probably a bunch of fools lining up to propose marriage."
Ning Jiujiu said: "Xiao Ling will also be a beauty in the future."
Ning Xiaoling suddenly stopped.
Ning looked back at her for a long time and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ning Xiaoling looked at him with clear eyes and asked, "What if Zhao Xiang'er can't defeat that old fox? Do we still have a future?"
Ning Jiujiu said calmly: "This is not something we need to worry about. What's more, since she dares to do this, she must have the confidence to do so."
Ning Xiaoling closed her eyes, her emotions suddenly collapsed. She shook her head vigorously, and tears overflowed her eyelashes. She choked and said: "What she can't beat, senior brother, she can't beat, at most, in another hour at most." , the winner can be determined in the palace, senior brother, don’t you really understand..."
Ning Jiujiu sighed, tilted the umbrella over her head, and said, "Little junior sister, what are you talking about?"
Ning Xiaoling wiped her cheeks, looked at him, and said seriously: "Brother, let's stop pretending. In fact, I know that you know everything."
I don't know if it was because of the cold, but the girl's body couldn't help but tremble. She bit her lips, and there was almost blood on her lips, "The Imperial Palace... The Imperial Palace is about to end, and they will all die! Before the old fox notices it, You, senior brother, leave quickly."
Ning sighed for a long time: "It's too late."
…
…
In the palace, when the bell rang, the girl in the bright yellow dragon robe closed her eyes to meditate and opened her eyes.
The guards in the imperial city have also been dismissed, and now, apart from the blue and white sedan that flew past the palace just now, she was the only one in this huge deep palace.
Zhao Xianger stood up holding the fire pestle. Her fingers were still as tender as green onions, but the palms of her hands were bloody and covered with scabs, which was very scary.
She looked at the seat behind her that was inlaid with gold and jade and was richly decorated with jewels. She laughed softly and said, "I'm still not used to it. It's really cold after sitting for a long time."
In the deep palace, the gorgeous and luxurious caisson above was suddenly illuminated. A fire phoenix flew out of the fire pestle, circled in the palace, and then flew out of the deep palace.
That is the brightest color in the world before night falls.
Zhao Xiang'er rode on the back of the fire phoenix.
Outside the palace wall, under the collapsed archway, another soul of the old demon fox returned to his body.
Both he and Zhao Xiang'er knew very well that the palace formation was extremely depleted and would definitely not be able to withstand a long battle. Zhao Xiang'er would definitely take action before dark.
As expected, she was the first to lose control and took action.
Although he didn't know what tricks this little girl had hidden, the old fox knew that the time for the decisive battle had come.
Fire phoenixes danced, lighting up the long night.
Zhao Xiang'er jumped off the back of the fire phoenix and stood on the top of the city. Looking at the old demon fox who now occupied the body of a woman, she said coldly: "How disgusting."
The old fox controlled the woman's body and smiled. The smile was like the carvings on the face of a walking zombie, which looked particularly weird.
Zhao Xiang'er took off the long sword that was strapped behind his back, held the hilt vertically, inserted it on the ground beside him, and said coldly: "The umbrella I gave you is not complete. This is the other half. You can take it yourself if you have the ability." .”
The old fox narrowed his eyes and looked at the sword, with a hint of caution in his heart.
The old fox sighed and said, "Actually, I'm a little afraid of you now, but unfortunately you still made a wrong move."
Zhao Xiang'er stood the sword by his side, stretched the muscles of his wrist, and asked: "Which step?"
The old man said suspiciously: "The sword the immortal used to kill me back then was not this one."
Zhao Xiang'er said: "The sword is enshrined in Jiazi Palace. You can take it for yourself after I die."
The old fox was even more curious: "So you know, then why don't you use that sword? Maybe you can increase your chance of winning by 20%."
Zhao Xianger's face showed a look of unwillingness, "That sword... I can't control it."
The old fox nodded slightly, doubtful. He looked at the girl and said loudly: "Then what are you waiting for? Do you want to carry the turtle shell of the palace forever?"
Zhao Xiang'er sneered, grabbed her golden-feathered fire phoenix cloak, twisted her wrist, and jerked it outward. With the sound of breaking, the bright yellow cloak fluttered like a flag, and shook her hand. A sound fell towards the bottom of the city wall and disappeared into the darkness.
Without the obstructive cloak, she was now just wearing a close-fitting black outfit. In the dim light of heaven and earth, under the ironing of the outfit, her exquisite and graceful curves instantly became murderous.
She took out the sword stuck at her side with her backhand and jumped on the high tower.
The fire phoenix gave a clear cry and flew down with its wings.
In mid-air, the figure of the girl jumping down overlapped with the shadow of the fire phoenix.
In the previous battle, Zhao Xiang'er had already understood that the fire phoenix alone could never kill the old fox. Even if it was extremely dangerous, she finally chose to merge with the fire phoenix and go out of the city with the old fox. A battle.
The girl's figure fell quickly and landed silently.
At that moment, she felt her body burning.
Starting from the sea of qi in the middle organs... Taiyi, Lingxu, Shenzang, and Yunmen, many acupoints were washed by the flowing fire and penetrated instantly. The moment those seas of qi broke through the acupoints, she couldn't help but tremble all over and turned inward. It was tightened, as if something was constricting and releasing all over the body at the same time.
When she stood up again, a pair of wings made of fireworks suddenly spread out from behind her, and each feather sculpted by fire patterns was clearly visible.
The girl raised her head and looked straight ahead. Her pure black and white eyes were indifferent, and there seemed to be fireworks from heaven in the depths.
Just like when he banished immortals.
