"My master Ning Qianshui brought me and his junior sister to the imperial city to slay the demon. However, he was not good at studying and underestimated the power of that monster."
"In times of crisis, Ning Qinshui used my body and my junior sister's body as a weapon to forcibly seal the demons, and then attached two purple-gold talismans to our bodies. Perhaps those two talismans purified the ghosts in our bodies, and instead became I have gained spiritual power, and I have more or less inherited the memories of those ghosts and ghosts, so I know some relatively unsophisticated spells. I used those spiritual powers to help my junior sister withstand the thunder disaster."
"These spiritual powers are all coming from springs. Once they are used up, they will be used up. Now I am just an ordinary little Taoist priest. I have not even entered the mysteries and have not even touched the door of cultivation. Your Highness does not need to worry about me."
Ning Chang said this without changing his expression, his tone was always calm and convincing.
Zhao Xiang'er sat in front of the case and listened quietly to what he said. Her eyes like paint were always staring at him, which made Ning Jiujiu feel guilty.
"Everything I said is true, otherwise I would be struck by lightning." Ning Jiujiu added.
Anyway, it has been hacked...
Zhao Xiang'er believed it a little, and said in a cold voice: "Then... you were actually incapable of controlling everything that happened?"
Ning thought for a long time, nodded and said: "You can say that."
Zhao Xiang'er narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to ask: "In other words, this is an arrangement somewhere?"
Ning Jiujiu didn't know why she asked this, but still nodded.
Zhao Xianger groaned in her heart, becoming more and more frightened and doubtful.
Could it be...this is also mother's arrangement
If this is really my mother's arrangement, then does she think that I can't really kill the demon fox on my own, so she prepared a back-up plan for me. If this young man named Ning Jiujiu hadn't taken action, the Imperial City would have been afraid of another attack at this moment. A bloody storm.
If my mother's calculations by heaven and man could predict this, it wouldn't be surprising.
But, in her heart, am I really so useless
The girl's head was slightly drooped, her hair was scattered, her body was as quiet as black jade for a while, her soft and fragrant shoulders unconsciously lowered, although her face could not be seen, she could still feel her unconcealable loss.
She recalled the scene when she looked up at the bright moon. At that time, she didn't think about why the moon was clear and bright, and there were no demonic clouds covering the moon. She clearly felt something was wrong in her heart, so why didn't she think more about it? I couldn't help but feel even more sad and upset.
Ning looked at her face hidden in the shadows for a long time and said nothing. He just didn't expect that his nonsense could cause such a big psychological war in her.
However, after Zhao Xiang'er thought that he might be a chess piece set up by her mother, she no longer doubted Ning Changjiu's previous words. This was her absolute admiration and trust for her mother.
After a long time, she raised her head, her tone still as indifferent as usual, and said: "Remember to come to the birthday party tomorrow, I have something very important to tell you."
"Huh?" Ning Jiujiu was stunned: "Why can't it be now?"
Zhao Xiang'er looked serious: "I think it would be better to say it in front of everyone."
Ning Changjiu suddenly lost his mind and glanced at Zhao Xiang'er again.
The girl also stared at herself calmly, wearing a drooping black dragon robe, which exuded elegance and nobility that did not suit her age.
Zhao Xiang'er seemed to have guessed what he was thinking: "Don't worry, I don't want to marry you, not to mention... I am engaged now."
Marry? Marry me as... queen
Ning Jiujiu looked at the little girl with a natural expression in front of him, with mixed emotions. Then, he noticed the second half of the sentence.
Are you actually engaged
Who is so unlucky? I would give up my life for beauty...
"I don't know which young master is so lucky. I am truly lucky to marry His Highness." Ning Changjiu looked sincere.
Zhao Xiang'er said softly: "I don't know who he is either."
Ning Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, thinking that it turned out that His Highness Xiang'er, who was "the most powerful person in the country", was also the destined bride... When my master arranged the marriage for me, I didn't know who the other party was from the beginning to the end. Zhao Xianger must be around this age.
Sure enough, there are not many new things in the world. If you miss it once, you will miss each other's life.
It's just that Ning Jiujiang is sure that he didn't marry that woman, maybe it was a regret shared by him and that woman, and if Zhao Xiang'er didn't marry her fiancé, it would be her fiancé's unilateral luck.
Zhao Xiang'er naturally didn't know what Ning Changjiu was thinking. If he knew it, I'm afraid the young man in front of him would suffer new injuries.
Ning Jiujiu said: "If everyone knows that His Highness is engaged, I am afraid it will break the hearts of many people."
The corners of Zhao Xiang'er's mouth curled up slightly, but she didn't answer.
This marriage letter is no longer important, because after my birthday tomorrow, I will be sixteen, and this marriage letter will naturally be invalidated.
But...will there be any changes tomorrow
Is this test for me over
She didn't want to think about it any more. The fatigue of the whole day surged into the girl's frail body. Under the canvas-like long black hair, there was an unspeakable exhaustion.
"Have a good rest and practice well in the future. Don't be discouraged too early because of your qualifications. Your achievements in the future will definitely be extraordinary." Zhao Xiang'er suddenly said.
Ning Jiujiu asked: "Why is Your Highness so sure?"
Of course, Zhao Xiang'er would not tell him about her mother's magical powers. She thought that Ning Changjiu was just a boy in his mid-fifteenth year after all. Knowing this, it would not make him feel good.
Zhao Xianger said: "You are quite good-looking, so your achievements will not be low in the future."
"..." Ning Changjiu replied without changing his expression: "If this is the case, then His Highness will surely reach heaven in the future."
Zhao Xiang'er pursed her lips and smiled, blinked, and said, "Are you applying honey on your lips? Hehe, tell your junior sister these words of coaxing little girls, I won't accept them."
Ning Changjiu thought to himself that you are only a year or two older than your junior sister. Why do you sound so old-fashioned when you talk
Ning Jiujiu said helplessly: "I would like to talk to my junior sister, where is she?"
Zhao Xianger said: "If you want to see her, you can do it now."
"Huh?" Ning Jiujiu didn't believe it.
Zhao Xiang'er stopped talking nonsense, flicked his sleeves, stood up and left: "I'm a little tired... Don't forget the birthday party during the day."
Ning Jiujiu nodded gently.
Zhao Xianger walked out of the house and raised her hand. Several black shadows scattered quietly outside the door.
That is the last master in the imperial city, and it is for tonight's accident.
But after a long talk with Ning, her worries finally disappeared. In this case, it was better to go to sleep and prepare for the birthday party during the day.
After a while, the door opened again, and a girl in a Taoist skirt quickly ran into the house. Her originally sleepy eyes suddenly brightened up after seeing Ning Jiujiu.
"Senior brother..." Ning Xiaoling rushed to the bed and her eyes became wet.
Ning looked at this cute and cute girl for a long time, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly, but he was stunned and speechless.
He originally thought that his feelings for Ning Xiaoling were the result of the brother-sister relationship inherited from the original owner of this body.
Now it turns out that this doesn't seem to be the case.
The last ray of soul of this body dissipated in the thunder, and the sound of "Idiot" was far away, but his feelings for Ning Xiaoling did not weaken.
Ning thought about it for a long time and felt that it might be because he had been practicing Taoism for twenty-four years in his previous life, and he had always hoped that a little junior sister would come to the temple, but he still didn't get it after twenty-four years.
So he has been the youngest disciple in the temple for more than twenty years.
Now I finally have a junior sister, so I feel very sorry for her...
"Junior sister." Ning Changjiu responded.
Ning Xiaoling's eyes suddenly turned red: "Senior brother, I'm sorry, I almost killed you."
Ning Jiujiu shook his head: "I know you are good to me. When I went to intercept the old fox to save Miss Lu on the street that day, the old fox didn't recognize me. I knew at that time that you had not passed the demon. When I told him my story, there was nothing wrong with it. At that time, I was sure that I would not watch you turn into a monster no matter what."
Ning Xiaoling rubbed her eyes and said, "Senior brother is really an idiot."
Ning Jiujiu said: "From now on, there is no need to hide these things from senior brother."
Ning Xiaoling smiled and said: "Senior brother is so smart, I can't hide it even if I want to."
Ning Jiujiu smiled, and then said with a serious look: "The demon seed is still in your body, it is just sleeping at the moment. Before its influence is completely eliminated, you must be more careful and not be tempted by the inner demon. , otherwise senior brother may not be able to help you."
Ning Xiaoling nodded seriously: "I will cultivate my mind!"
Ning Jiujiu stretched out his hand with difficulty. Ning Xiaoling understood, took his hand, raised it and rubbed his head, then stuffed it back into the quilt. The girl smiled softly, her childish and pretty face was very touching. cute.
Ning Xiaoling suddenly asked mysteriously: "Zhao Xiang'er stayed here for so long just now. What did you... do?"
Ning Jiujiu said helplessly: "Look at what senior brother is like now, what can he do?"
Ning Xiaoling thought so, but later said worriedly: "Then she didn't bully you, right?"
Ning Jiujiu asked: "If senior brother is bullied, can you help me fight back?"
Ning Xiaoling was silent for a while and vowed: "Sister Lu said that I have extraordinary talent, and my level will rise in the future, so I can help my senior brother regain his position."
Ning Jiujiu nodded and smiled: "Then I'll wait for the day when my junior sister becomes the Little Sword Immortal."
"By the way, where is your future master? Where did Miss Lu go?" Ning Jiujiu suddenly asked.
Ning Xiaoling was silent for a while, hesitated for a while, and then said truthfully: "Sister Lu was very happy to know that you woke up, but for some reason, she didn't want to come see you. I asked her, She didn’t say anything, she just said she wanted to spend a restful night in a blue and white sedan chair.”
Ning Jiujiu pondered for a moment, but he didn't understand what Lu Marion was thinking. He didn't think deeply, but just said: "Okay, if there are other changes tomorrow, senior brother will be a useless person, and I can only rely on her to draw the sword."
Ning Xiaoling was stunned, and said with a grimace: "There are still variables, no way... Xiaoling will be tortured to death."
"..." Ning Jiujiu comforted him: "It's just in case, we have to be on guard."
"Oh..." Ning Xiaoling responded uneasily.
…
…
In the temple on the left side of the palace, the blue and white sedan has been washed away with blood. Lu Jiaojian, dressed in white, is sitting in it, with a simple long sword across her knees, and her long jade fingers with distinct joints are folded on the scabbard. His expression seemed to be sleepy, but his fingertips were slowly stroking the ancient lines of the scabbard, and the slight movement of the sword was like static electricity.
During this trip to the Imperial City, she originally sought an opportunity to break through the Purple Court. Unexpectedly, her level dropped instead of rising, and she fell back to the realm of longevity. The two acupoints on her back that were damaged could not recover for a while, and her cultivation level Stagnation and difficulties.
Although her determination to ask questions became stronger, the many wounds on her body that were difficult to heal were also problems that she had to face.
Her fingers caressing the scabbard paused slightly, her lips parted slightly, and a faint sigh floated out.
"Master, I disappoint you..." She opened her eyes, with a hint of sadness in her ice-cold eyes.
In addition to one sect leader, Yujian Tianzong is also divided into four branches, each holding a peak, namely Shouxiao Peak, Xuanri Peak, Huiyang Peak, and Tianku Peak.
Each of the four branches has different peak masters, and her master is in charge of the most steep and steep cave branch with strange rocks. A few years ago, her master died at the end of his life and passed away, so she, as his disciple, is in the middle realm. The one who is the highest takes charge of this channel on his behalf.
But compared with the other three lines, there is no great practitioner who has entered the Purple Court, so it looks weak after all.
Over the years, she has devoted herself to asking questions in the hope that she can achieve perfection in the Purple Mansion as soon as possible, cross the chasm between heaven and earth, and advance to the Purple Court realm where she can truly be called an immortal, at least to close the gap with the other three lines.
There is another big reason for this, that is, the sect leader is also old.
After staying at the peak of the Purple Court Realm for a month, the sect leader was also tired. He wanted to travel around the world in his last years, so he naturally had to entrust the sect to him. The real supreme skill of Yujian Tianzong was in the inheritance of the sect leader.
The sect leader's succession ceremony, which was supposed to be held four years later, may have to be brought forward...
This is why she is so anxious.
It's just that she is only in her early twenties, so she is too young after all.
Without enough accumulation over the years, even if she was extremely talented, she was still far from being able to quickly break through the bottleneck, so she was unwilling to meditate. When she heard that there was chaos in the imperial city of Zhao Kingdom, she felt a connection with her, so she went down the mountain to kill the monster without hesitation.
It's just that haste leads to waste, and this time it's just that I'm tired of it.
Maybe this is destiny.
Although Lu Marianjian is firm in her Taoism, regrets in her heart are always unavoidable.
She felt the scar left by the old fox's sword on her back and sighed.
This hurts...
Thinking of this injury, she couldn't help but think of the pair of senior brothers and sisters.
Ning Xiaoling was making tea for herself that day, and the traces of water that accidentally fell on the outside of the cup made her unforgettable no matter what - how could such clumsy hands be able to tie such a delicate and impeccable bandage
The one who really healed me was obviously...
Lu Marian's hand couldn't help but squeeze the scabbard tightly. Her breathing became a little faster. Under the loose snow-white sword robe, her chest suddenly rose and fell, and her curves stretched, and she soon calmed down again.
Although he is trying to save himself, and he is not a pedantic and stubborn person, this is not a big deal, but if he really becomes his disciple in the future, he will eventually have some obstacles in his heart...
Since he also lied to me, then I will...
"I'll just pretend I don't know..." Lu Marion closed her eyes slightly and murmured to herself in the silent night.
