When Ning Jiujiu left the book pavilion, his mind was still a little wandering.
He could feel that although Yan Zhou intended to chat with him, he always had a slight caution, but... I don't know why he wanted to talk to him about such an important thing today.
Did he have any doubts and then test himself
He had a guess, but wasn't sure.
But if what he said is true, there is a burial place for gods among the wilderness in Nanzhou, then what state was that god in during his lifetime
He had read some records about the fighting between gods in the vast collection of books. It seemed that no huge battle between gods had broken out in the land of Nanzhou in the past thousand years.
The twelve masters of the Hidden Kingdom divide up the most powerful authority in the world, but after all, it is impossible to capture all the power, and those leftover authorities have created many new gods above the Five Paths.
As for the cause of the catastrophe in the world five hundred years ago, it is still a mystery. Some books speculate that the catastrophe was caused by the melee of these little gods as the fuse, and then involved a certain person. The Lord of the Hidden Kingdom, the most mysterious and powerful being in the world, finally intervened. After all the conflicts broke out, it set off a violent wave that could destroy the world for decades.
The demons and gods from heaven and earth fell like rain.
The mountains and rivers have become coffins where the corpses of immortals and demons are buried.
The corpses scattered everywhere were shocking.
If this is the case, it should not be surprising that there are several places where gods have fallen in the Yangyang Southern Wilderness.
But why did Yan Zhou say that the ruins might have existed for much longer... and for how long
But after that catastrophe, the historical record was almost broken. What happened in the past thousand years, except for those survivors with extremely high status, few people in the world know.
Back in his room, Ning boiled a pot of tea for a long time.
When night fell, Ning Xiaoling knocked on her door.
"How are you today?" Ning asked with a long smile.
Ning Xiaoling was slightly stunned and said, "Senior brother, it turns out you know."
Ning Jiujiu smiled and said: "What can you hide from your senior brother?"
Ning Xiaoling raised her eyebrows and said dissatisfiedly: "Since senior brother knows, why don't you come and see me."
"..." Ning Changjiu's smile froze slightly, and explained: "Actually, I just saw that my junior sister hadn't come back so late, so I asked Lu Yuanbai, and he told me."
Ning Xiaoling crossed her arms across her chest and sneered: "Uncle Lu is also watching swordsmanship in Xueping today. Don't we know the same Uncle Lu?"
No wonder I didn't meet him today... Ning Changjiu thought to himself that he was so thoughtful in his previous life, but now he has damaged his brain through practice? How could you make such a stupid mistake
"Okay, the old man in the bookstore told me." Ning Jiujiu said helplessly.
Ning Xiaoling looked slightly confused: "Uncle Master Yan Zhou can still chat with others?"
Ning Jiujiu asked: "You have never been to the bookstore. How do you know that he doesn't like to talk?"
Ning Xiaoling said: "I heard that Master Yan Zhou's uncle in Shuge is a famous person. You know, it is said that every year, he secretly gives the master a name. It is said that it is the name he thinks has the most potential in the peak. I don’t know who my disciple will be this year.”
Ning Jiujiu frowned slightly, and immediately realized that he and the bookstore were almost one. He could sense what kind of books all the disciples read. Naturally, he could calculate the number of books each disciple read in a year. talent and temperament.
This is indeed a good method, but it is too troublesome.
If he is allowed to be the peak master, he should not be too lazy to examine other people. Whoever has the best talent has the greatest potential. As for character, he can follow the guidance. After all, those who are close to Zhu are red. Being able to become his disciple will naturally be like entering Zhilan. Even if he is a wicked person, over time he should be able to rely on his own infectious power to erase his viciousness and make him as indifferent and peaceful as himself.
Ning Xiaoling said mysteriously: "Uncle Yan Zhou rarely talks to others. Since he told senior brother, will he be very optimistic about senior brother?"
Ning Jiujiu asked: "What will happen if you are appreciated by him?"
Ning Xiaoling said: "It will be focused on training. For example, Senior Brother Nan Cheng two years ago was spotted by Master Yan Zhou, so Fengli gave him a lot of resources."
Ning Jiujiu thought about the jade plaque with a C character, and resisted the urge to burp. He thought that it was indeed a lot. As a disciple, the treatment should be excellent.
"Well, then junior sister should go to the bookstore more often in the future. Maybe she can be appreciated by his old man." Ning smiled for a long time.
Ning Xiaoling skillfully sat on the edge of the bed, swung her legs, snorted, and said, "I'm not going. I'm illiterate. It would be so embarrassing to go."
Ning Changjiu smiled lightly and said nothing more.
"So today's sword fighting competition in the snow field, junior sister surprised everyone?" Ning Jiujiu asked.
Ning Xiaoling covered her face and said: "How can that be true? Xiaoling is just a junior sister who only enters the Xuan Xuan realm. Of course, she has been reduced to the background of senior brothers and sisters. She is also at the bottom of the rankings in Master's evaluation. Alas, if senior brother comes, he will definitely win the first prize."
Ning Jiujiu still just smiled.
Ning Xiaoling glanced at him and continued: "Senior brother, have you been secretly practicing diligently somewhere recently?"
Ning Jiujiu had no intention of hiding it and said, "I am practicing."
Ning Xiaoling's eyes widened a little, and she seemed a little happy. She quickly asked: "How's it going?"
Ning Jiujiu shook his head gently: "I haven't entered the Xuan yet."
Ning Xiaoling pursed her lips, thought for a while, took out a small jade tablet from her arms and handed it to him, saying: "Brother, I secretly asked Master for this. There are about fifty spiritual fruits in it. Take it. Just ask the old man from Sword Hall to get it. I originally wanted to get it directly for you, but my senior brother said, keep a low profile."
Ning took a long look at the jade token, but did not take it. He shook his head and said, "Junior sister, keep it."
Ning Xiaoling said: "Master originally gave this to you."
Ning Jiujiu smiled softly and said, "But why is your name on the jade plaque?"
Ning Xiaoling was shocked and quickly took the jade token, looked at it for a while, and murmured: "No...ah!"
As she searched, she turned over the jade medal and saw a word "age" in the middle that she had not noticed before.
Ning Xiaoling's cheeks were slightly red. She put the jade token into her palm and coldly snorted: "Don't forget it!"

The next day, Ning Changchun was stopped by Lu Yuanbai on the way to the book pavilion.
"Why didn't you go to the sword field yesterday?" Lu Yuanbai asked.
Ning Jiujiu asked: "What happened at the sword field yesterday?"
Lu Yuanbai looked at him with a smile, as if you were still pretending to be stupid with me.
Ning Jiujiu understood his expression and asked, "Is it possible that junior sister won the first prize?"
Lu Yuanbai's smile narrowed slightly and he said: "That's not true... Are you crazy for wanting to eat soft food? Your junior sister has only been in the profession for just over a month, and this time she ranked among the top three in the Sword Listening Club. This is almost impossible in Tianku Peak. This is unprecedented, and now, everyone is concerned about when she will click on the first sword star."
"So it's third..." Ning Jiujiu smiled slightly, very pleased.
Looking at his smile, Lu Yuanbai felt it was fake no matter how he looked at it, and sneered: "Watching junior sister throw you farther and farther away, doesn't your heart ache?"
Ning Jiujiu smiled slightly and said softly: "Junior sister is worried about this."
Lu Yuanbai sighed: "Hey, do you know that your reputation in the peak is very bad."
Ning Jiujiu shook his head: "I don't know."
Lu Yuanbai said: "Your junior sister is too talented, and her big tree attracts attention, which will always arouse jealousy. But after all, Ning Xiaoling is their fellow junior sister, and she is protected by Lu Marry, so the jealousy and resentment accumulated in their hearts will only I can vent it out to you, my senior brother. These days, even though I am a relatively new person like me, I have heard a lot of rumors about you. Why I rush to your room every day after class? In fact, it is not literacy, but yes… "
Ning Jiujiu interrupted: "I don't care about this."
Lu Yuanbai's expression became more and more contemptuous, and he said, "I don't care whether you care or not, but where is your junior sister? What will she think when she hears this all the time?"
Ning was silent for a long time, raised his head, and said calmly: "I understand."
…
Halfway through the twelfth lunar month, Tianku Peak ushered in the heaviest snow.
When night fell, Ning Xiaoling came to his room with a stack of books as usual. Ning Jiujiu sat quietly. After she arrived and sat down, Ning Xiaoling suddenly looked into her eyes and said solemnly. The officer said: "Junior sister, we can go and light up the sword star."
