Ning Jiujiu thought of the abyss-like space and nodded: "Yeah, I know."
He could vaguely feel what was hidden at the bottom of this peak, but with his current state, he would never be stupid enough to take risks without authorization.
Ning Jiujiu pointed to the inscriptions on the ground and said, "Read these two articles several times and think about them clearly before you start practicing."
Nan Cheng's eyes were blazing, and he couldn't wait to cast his gaze upwards. He covered his chest like a drum, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said: "Thank you very much, senior. If this junior succeeds in cultivating Taoism in the future, I will definitely thank you very much!" "
Ning Jiujiu stood up, fluttered his sleeves and left, just saying a faint hum.
Nan Cheng looked at the retreating figure in white clothes and thought to himself, could this be the man among the immortals who had become a successful cultivator and had an appearance that had reversed the passage of time
What is the scene like in the Purple Garden Realm
The heart of his sword, which had almost turned into ashes, was once again ignited with a blazing fire full of hope.
And in the blink of an eye, the white clothes disappeared from sight.
Ning looked around for a long time, looking at the position where the light was projected, and confirming his current position.
In this world, most roads are two-way. Since he can come here from the library, there should be a road that connects to the library and can return.
He recalled the scene when he opened the page of the book.
What was drawn on the page was a small formation.
Ning Changjiu made vague strokes with his fingers for a while, drawing the appearance of the formation in mid-air.
"Xiao Fei Kong Formation?"
Ning Jiujiu let out a light sigh and drew a few more times with his fingers, deducing silently in his mind.
The flying formation is a type of teleportation formation. According to legend, all flying formations are derived from the original ascension formation. The origin of these formations is just four words - bow and arrow.
The formation is a bow, and people are arrows. When the formation collapses to the extreme, it is shattered. The unimaginable power allows the practitioner to reach a speed that can break the space barrier, allowing the practitioner to ignore the shortcomings of some realms, directly break through the void, and ascend to the Immortal Palace. , just like the legendary god who shoots the sun with his bow.
It's just that the Ascension Formation is extremely demanding and only exists in legends. It is difficult to see it in the classics now. Even in the collection of books in Guanzhong back then, he only saw some brief introductions.
The small flying formation is much simpler. It uses spiritual power to vibrate the space in two different positions. After reaching a certain common frequency, a stable but short-lived channel will be opened between the two positions, allowing people to conduct short-term activities. Movement over short distances.
Ning Jiujiu glanced upward, then moved his fingertips slightly, moved a few pieces of gravel and placed them under him in the order of the small flying formation.
The pebbles looked like a strange pattern, similar to the scattered arrangement of stars.
Ning Changjiu pointed his fingertips. At the source, the stone was ignited by the sword fire. As his fingertips moved, the spiritual energy surged into a line and flowed according to the pattern of the formation. However, his strokes were done in reverse.
The strokes were reversed, and there was a response in the center of the formation's eye. Ning Chang's step was as bright as dust, and there was a faint sign of leaving the ground.
The sea of consciousness spreads out at the same time, looking for the point that fits this small ascension formation.
The white sword light on his fingertips was still trembling slightly, as if waiting for something.
A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the dark sea-like sea of consciousness. The glimmer of light was originally like a piece of dust, but after the vision of the sea of consciousness fell on it, it suddenly collapsed and expanded, transforming into the shape of a small flying array.
The two formations vibrated together and suddenly fit together.
The feeling of being overweight suddenly burst out from every inch of my body.
The light source flashed like a ball, and then disappeared into a line in a very short period of time, and Ning Changjiu's figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.
The next moment, in a corner of the bookstore, Ning Jiujiu's figure appeared silently.
The light penetrated along the stone wall, and it seemed to be approaching evening now, and the light that penetrated was already a little dim.
Ning Jiujiu was not sure whether his behavior was noticed by the old man named Yan Zhou, or it was originally a test by Yan Zhou.
Suddenly, he heard whispers across a layer of bookshelves.
"That's not good?"
"I don't think it's good either. Ning Changjiu has nothing to do with us. It's inappropriate for us to tease him like this..."
"Can you help me or not?" It was a girl's voice.
"This is not a matter of loyalty or unfaithfulness, but..."
"Forget it if you don't help!"
"Okay, good junior sister, tell me, what do you want us to do?"
"If I can figure out a way, what else do I need you to do?"
"..." A young man thought for a while and said, "The only time he can show up is during morning classes. We should do something about this."
"Well, what you said makes sense, continue." The girl agreed and fell into thinking.
"Junior sister, I still don't think it's right. Although Ning Xiaoling performed extremely well in swordplay last time, you can choose her in the next sword competition. It would be great if you beat her. In the real light of swords and shadows, her current In this realm, where can I control the innate spirit to fight?" The young man's words were smooth and calm, and he seemed much more organized.
The girl was obviously aggrieved and said: "During the sword competition, I picked her as my opponent. Didn't it just show that I am stingy and not generous? Master often said that people who practice Taoism go against the current. What do I mean to her? Besides, even if I really want to take the opportunity to attack her at that time, but isn't it still two months before Chunshi's sword test? I just can't stand it... "
"The book says that human relationships are like water, and things in the world are like clouds. The Taoist heart of junior sister should be indifferent and peaceful, like the wintersweet on the cliff... When the plum blossoms bloom in a few days, why don't I accompany junior sister to enjoy the flowers?"
"I'm giving you a reward. You keep saying you like me, and now you're talking nonsense. Do you love me or not?" The little girl seemed to have unleashed her trump card.
As expected, the young man couldn't resist immediately. He was silent for a moment and said: "Okay, junior sister has the final say, but just tease him a little. Don't do anything to hurt junior brothers and sisters."
"Don't worry, I'm sensible. I don't want to get slapped by Master. We must do it without anyone noticing."
So the three of them started discussing.
Across a bookshelf, Ning Changjiu listened carefully and commented on their ideas in his mind. Although many of their ideas were wild and unconstrained, when it came to him, it was basically impossible to realize them.
"We sawed off half of the legs of his chair, but cut off the threads, so that as soon as he sat on it, it would snap and fall to the ground. We did this secretly, and no one knew we did it."
"We can steal a sword scripture that we need to read in the morning class, and secretly set some rules on the strokes of some complicated characters. However, he will have visual errors and it will be difficult to recognize. In this way, he will definitely lose face in front of Ning Xiaoling. Master just thinks he is illiterate and will not let him come to morning classes in the future."
"We can also cover the edges of the pages with some sword energy, so that when he turns the book, he will cut his fingers, but he will definitely just think that the pages are too sharp and he is too careless."
"But... what junior sister hates is Ning Xiaoling. How innocent is his senior brother?"
"Huh, how could his senior brother be so innocent? He dared to make Master angry that day. Do you know how difficult it has been for Master over the years? What an honor it is for him, an outer disciple, to sit in the sword hall. Master invited him to the Yuntai sword field. , I originally gave him a chance, but he dared to refuse it in public? If this kind of outer disciple is not properly disciplined to establish authority for the master, he may make the master angry again in the future!"
"Well... what junior sister said seems to make sense."
"Of course. Besides, we are just trying to embarrass him. It is also for his own good to let him know about the dangers of the world earlier."
"Junior sister is so... so righteous."
"Stop teasing me and come up with some ideas for me!"
So they fell into a tense discussion again.
Ning stood opposite for a long time in silence, listening to them finalize their plan, and then quietly hid behind a huge bookshelf, watching them leave with satisfaction.
In the last life, there were not many years in total. There were not many brothers and sisters who interacted with each other. The only second senior brother and senior sister who had more interactions with him also took good care of him. Naturally, he had no encounter with him on the smooth path of cultivation. I have experienced this kind of thing before, so at this moment, Ning Jiujiu still feels a little inexplicable... excited
When leaving the book pavilion, Ning never forgot to take a long look at his uncle Yan Zhou. Yan Zhou was holding the book on his body as usual, half dozing off, almost dead.
…
When he returned to the room, he found a person lying on his chest.
Ning Xiaoling curled up there like a little fox, holding a soft quilt in her arms. Although Ning Jiujiu's footsteps were silent, she was still noticed by her. As soon as she entered the door, her ears twitched slightly, and she immediately woke up and brushed the floor. He sat up from his bed and asked, "Senior brother, where have you been? Were you seduced by some fox?"
Ning Changjiu smiled and said, "Isn't there a little fox in front of you?"
Ning Xiaoling covered her face and said, "Senior brother, don't try to sneak in. I... I have to watch over senior brother for Sister Xiang'er!"
Ning Jiujiu wondered: "When did you start fighting against her?"
Ning Xiaoling said: "Even if you don't care about anything else, I have been waiting for senior brother for nearly an hour. You should tell me where you are going, right?"
Ning Jiujiu pondered for a moment and said, "I accidentally ran into an extremely secret place in the peak today. There are many strange people hidden in it."
Ning Xiaoling asked curiously: "Where is it?"
Ning Changjiu said mysteriously: "It's too dangerous there. I will take you in when my junior sister reaches a higher level."
Ning Xiaoling said: "Senior brother is lying. You haven't entered the Xuan Dynasty yet, but you can go, why can't I go?"
Ning Jiujiu poked her forehead and said, "How can senior brother's realm be treated as ordinary?"
These words convinced Ning Xiaoling and she nodded silently.
"Senior brother, are you still teaching me how to read today? I already learned five hundred words last time. Xiaoling has no problem reading some ordinary books now." Ning Xiaoling said.
Ning Jiujiu nodded and said: "In that case, there is no need to worry. Today... senior brother plans to teach you something powerful."
"Something powerful?" Ning Xiaoling was a little nervous and a little expectant.
Ning looked into her eyes for a long time and said seriously: "I will teach you some unique breathing methods, which can more fully mobilize your innate spirit and get twice the result with half the effort. There are also some... ancestral Taoism and swordsmanship, which are very powerful. , but after I teach you, you must keep it a secret and not tell anyone else. If your master asks, just say it is the memory passed down from the old fox, do you understand?"
"Senior brother, why are you teaching me this?" Ning Xiaoling asked confused.
Ning Jiujiu said: "Of course I hope that junior sister's path to Taoism can be smoother and more powerful. If she competes with others in the future, she will not lose."
When Ning Xiaoling saw that her senior brother looked so serious, she immediately sat upright, nodded seriously and said, "I understand, senior brother!"
She asked again: "How powerful will it become?"
Ning Jiujiu patted her head and said with a smile: "When Xiaoling learns these things, she will be about ten times more ferocious."
Ning Xiaoling was slightly startled and asked jokingly: "Is the little fox going to turn into a big monster?"
Ning Jiujiu said: "It's not that bad. Maybe I can cultivate a sword fairy at a young age, just like Lu Marian... Well, powerful women are fierce."
He couldn't help but think of Fourth Senior Sister, Senior Sister and Master.
One is more vicious than the other.
Ning Xiaoling retorted: "Master is actually very gentle. It was my fault today that my senior brother was wrong. He said bad things about master and deserved to be beaten."
Ning Jiujiu was stunned and said with some frustration: "In the heart of the junior sister, the status of the senior brother has been lowered by another level?"
Ning Xiaoling chuckled and said: "When senior brother has taught me those ancestral secrets, I will consider helping senior brother to nominate him."
…
…
Another morning, Ning Changjiu got up early as usual. Ning Xiaoling, who was still a little sleepy, knocked on his door and asked him to go to class with him.
For some reason, Ning Jiujiu rejected her today, saying that it was still early and that she would go later.
Ning Xiaoling was a little confused and asked: "Why?"
Ning thought for a long time and said: "Junior sister, if you are always so active, you will be too conspicuous. What's more, now that you have begun to practice those unique secrets, you should hide your stupidity. We will go later."
Ning Xiaoling felt that what he said seemed to make sense.
So after a quarter of an hour, Ning Changjiu felt that time was almost up, so he walked slowly over with his junior sister.
Finally, as the morning class bell rang, they walked into the sword hall together.
Lu Marian looked at them with expressions that seemed a little displeased, as if she was saying why did you come so late today, are you provoking me
Yun Ze and Le Rou stared at Ning Jiujiu nervously and excitedly. They tried their best to hide their ardent expectations, but they seemed unable to hide them at all.
Ning Jiujiu sighed, thinking that I had specially spared some time today to help you with your psychological development. Why do you still look like you have done something bad at a glance? If I really fell into your trap, with your performance Still want to deceive Lu Marian? Hmm... The one named Xu Weiran is pretty good, very calm and collected.
Ning Xiaoling followed her senior brother and immediately sat down on the chair for fear of being scolded.
Ning Jiujiu's back paused for a moment. He glanced at the extremely thin diagonal lines on the chair legs, and then sat on it under the eyes of two expectant eyes from behind.
