Ning Fan was not in a hurry to leave.
He was very curious, how this old man who was suspected of being the Immortal Emperor Ziwei would deal with the person who came to provoke him.
The rogues were still smashing the old man's booth. For all this, the old man ignored it, and didn't even look at these people.
That is an indifference! Just like when a human walks, they don't care about a few grains of dust on the ground. Everything that happens in front of them can't make the old man suffer in the slightest.
Although the old man did not give any response, the cause and effect caused by this group of scoundrels are getting heavier and heavier!
When those karma accumulated to a certain level, it seemed as if there were a pair of invisible hands reaching out to these sloppy skins.
Then, the poppies suddenly looked blank. For some reason, their bodies suddenly shattered and turned into wisps of starlight.
vomit.
Bai Ling, who vaguely sensed what happened, retched.
Teacher, brother! This, this, so terrible, so disgusting! Shouldn't this be... all, you and I will do the same, right? You also offended this man, could it be...
"..." Ning Fan patted Bai Ling's back, as if trying to make him feel better. He looked helpless, and for a while he didn't know how to comfort the girl.
For Ning Fan himself, it wasn't so. After all, if the old man wanted to attack him, he didn't have to bother to heal him.
"Interesting, if the junior is not mistaken, the reason why these people are like this is not because of the senior's shot." Ning Fan asked with a gleam in his eyes.
"As you can see, the old man did not take action. It is the order of cause and effect between heaven and earth, which is protecting the old man on his own. Even if the old man dies here, even if the old man no longer exists in the world, the cause and effect of the old man should not be easily messed with." The old man His tone was calm, as if stating a fact. This time, he didn't take Ning Fan as an air man anymore, because the green light in Ning Fan's eyes aroused his interest.
Looking at each other, it is a pair of eyes that have experienced the vicissitudes of life, and another pair of bright eyes that flicker with green light.
Looking at each other this time, Ning Fan did not feel the oppression as profound as time in the eyes of the old man. Obviously, the old man deliberately restrained the oppression.
"You are not far from fully opening the third gate of heaven and man. What you lack is just an opportunity. So, how much did you understand just now?" The old man asked with a narrowed gaze.
"I only understand a little bit, but I can't understand it." Ning Fan replied truthfully after pondering for a while.
"That's not bad. I thought it was just a drop of water, but maybe it was actually a violent storm. I can't figure it out, and I can't figure it out. Between heaven and earth, it really doesn't. Only the variables of practice are the most difficult to calculate, interesting, interesting..."
The old man laughed at himself, and the whole person, together with the chestnut booth, suddenly turned into purple starlight, and gradually dissipated in place.
At the moment when the old man dissipated, there seemed to be a pair of invisible hands that wiped away the entire trial time and space, erasing all traces of the old man's appearance here.
Almost at the moment when the traces of the old man were erased, the square market, which had been chaotic due to the commotion of the chestnut stall on the floor, suddenly calmed down.
The onlookers in the market all looked blank. After a while, their eyes became clear, but they all felt a sense of loss.
"Why are we... all around here?"
"I remember that there was a fat sheep who was spending money in Fang City. He bought a lot of things with Daoyin, bought cakes, bought sugar people, bought kites, yes, he finally bought... What did he buy? …”
"Can't remember..."
"Huh? Was there any stall here before? Who sold what here..."
"Sure enough, did you remember it wrong?"
In an instant, all the onlookers here forgot what happened here, and even more forgot that there was a chestnut stall here, and there was an old man who fry chestnuts.
Even Bai Ling forgot what happened before, and no longer remembered that he had eaten some kind of disgusting chestnut.
So he no longer retches, but a little dazed.
Brother? Why did I just vomit all of a sudden? Eh, why do I have a bag of chestnuts in my hand
The sweet chestnut smell hit the nose, Bai Ling subconsciously wanted to peel one and taste it.
But it was stopped by Ning Fan waving his hand.
"You don't want to eat these chestnuts..."
Eh? Can't really eat it? Not even one? why
"Because...because I'm hungry and want to eat all the chestnuts." Ning Fan didn't plan to tell Bai Ling the truth.
Pfft, senior brother can't even tell lies... Although I don't know the reason why senior brother lied, but since senior brother said so, I'd better not eat it. All these are for my brother.
Bai Ling handed the chestnut paper bag to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan glanced at it, but found that the number of chestnuts in the paper bag was wrong.
It wasn't the number that the old man had given to Bai Ling before. The whole pot of chestnuts that disappeared with the booth before, all flew into the paper bag at some point.
"Before, this senior said I didn't deserve to eat his chestnuts, but now he gave me a pot full of chestnuts..."
Ning Fan's expression suddenly became strange, what was the feeling of being tested and recognized by the seniors
And these chestnuts…
No matter how you look at it, the ingredients chosen are just ordinary chestnuts, but after seeing the scene before, Ning Fan doesn't know where it is.
So, just now, how much did you understand
I only understand a little bit, but I can't understand it.
In my mind, I inadvertently remembered the answer to the old man before.
The old man asked him if he understood.
He said that he understood something, and this scene changed not only the body, but also its existence.
Therefore, no matter how Ning Fan looked, he could only see a pot full of chestnuts.
He could understand this, but he couldn't understand the magical powers involved in changing existence.
To change the existence of this kind of thing is really too profound, far from being able to understand and grasp today's Ning Fan.
But even so, being able to see the crux of the matter was enough to make the old man Chao Li take a high look at Ning Fan.
Therefore, the old man rewarded Ning Fan with the useless pot of chestnuts, which was regarded as his recognition of Ning Fan's existence.
"The existence of a person can be gained, lost, maintained, or changed..." Ning Fan seemed to understand.
Then peel off a chestnut, look as usual, and feed it into the mouth.
Carefully comprehend the crape myrtle Taoism hidden in the chestnut, but no longer dare to rush into the origin of its Taoism, that is really extremely reckless and dangerous.
…
After wandering around for a long time, Ning Fan and Bai Ling found an 'inn' to stay.
Shi Gandang said that a place to stay can be found in the north of Fangshi. Ning Fan heard it and came too.
But, who can explain why there is no serious hotel in the entire Fengmanfang City, all of which are a bunch of Qinlou and Chu Pavilions.
Ning Fan could never forget that when he brought Bai Ling into an 'inn' to stay, the maid of the 'inn' showed a look of surprise and hesitation.
"Uh, this guest officer, it's our shop's rule that you can't bring your own 'drinks'..." Well, the bustard reminded me at the time.
Bring your own drink? Did we bring drinks? What a weird rule. Bai Ling obviously didn't know that he was the drink in the other's mouth.
"Two rooms, the money will not be short of you." Ning Fan replied indifferently, and handed the bustard a small piece of heavenly silver.
"It turns out that you are the one from Fang Shi's legend..." The bustard's eyes suddenly lit up, and she didn't know where a big fat sheep entered her inn.
In an instant, the bustard didn't mind that Ning Fan broke the rules and brought his own drink. After all, this small piece of Taoist silver was enough for Ning Fan to enjoy the drink in this hotel thousands of times.
However, Ning Fan had no intention of enjoying the drink in this hotel at all.
This made the bustard mistakenly think that Ning Fan only wanted to drink his own wine.
Late at night.
Ning Fan crossed his knees in the room, occasionally eating a chestnut, and comprehending the mystery.
Bai Ling lives next door. Although it is next door, the two rooms are actually connected to each other and there is no restriction. Obviously, the bustard thought that Ning Fan might 'mistakenly' into the female companion's room in the middle of the night, so she deliberately closed the partition between the two rooms. Banned.
From time to time, the sound of playing chess moves, from Bai Ling's room, enters Ning Fan's ears.
Obviously, even though he had been shopping all night, Bai Ling still didn't plan to rest too early, and didn't forget to finish the score that he didn't finish today.
The sound of the chess piece, so peaceful, so peaceful, attracted all of Ning Fan's mind for no reason, and it was difficult to concentrate on understanding the mystery of Taoism.
This kind of situation is rare in Ning Fan's cultivation career. There are very few things that can interfere with his heart.
The sound of the little chess pieces was not a demon, but a demon, which made Ning Fan suddenly stretch out his hand and put it in his heart.
Yes.
In his heart, there is always a demon that he is reluctant to cut off...
But the root of the inner demon is Zhihe, but why does it resonate with Bai Ling at this time and place...
"Bai Ling, who is she in the end... Senior Chao Li told me that human existence can be changed, so, can this also be regarded as a hint..."
"And that senior mentioned the opportunity, the opportunity to open the third door of heaven and man... These seniors and masters can't be without a goal in their words and deeds. Could it be that they want to imply that the opportunity to open the third door is in Bai Ling. on the..."
Thoughts, gradually difficult to calm down.
Fortunately, the sound of chess pieces in the ears quickly calmed Ning Fan's thoughts.
"Is it really so fun to play chess..." Ning Fan began to seriously think about this question.
…
Northern Barbarian Kingdom, the second day.
Shi Gandang was indeed a well-informed person, even though Ning Fan didn't have a voice transmission to tell him where to stay, Shi Gandang still found the door at dawn.
"Hey, how did the senior rest last night, the junior has heard about it, the senior spent a lot of money everywhere in order to make a smile on his face. The price is so huge, I want to gain something last night..." Shi Gan pretended to be "every man understands". He winked at Ning Fan.
Ning Fan felt speechless, and was too lazy to explain more to Shi Gandang, so he just raised his hand and pointed at Shi Gandang's neckline.
Shi Gandang was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed that there were some lipstick lip prints on his collar...
"...You really gained a lot, right?" Ning Fan said speechlessly.
"Hey, no matter how much I gain, it's just some vulgar fans, making the seniors laugh." Shi Gandang wiped off the mark on his body embarrassed.
After a while, Ning Fan and Bai Ling, who had just woken up, used the morning meal together.
During this period, Shi Gandang rented a six-winged snow eagle unique to the Northern Barbarian Kingdom in Fangshi, and flew to the venue of the Daoguo Conference.
Ning Fan was riding on Xue Ying's back, standing in the air, overlooking the snowy country in all directions. Beside him, Bai Ling was already wrapped in a thick cloak and veil, still afraid of the sun.
Hey, what about those chestnuts? Bai Ling actually still misses the bag of sweet chestnuts.
"I've finished eating..." Ning Fan.
Is it delicious
"Unappetizing."
Oh... I really want to try it.
"Next time I meet someone selling chestnuts, I'll buy some for you." Ning Fan said helplessly.
In the evening, Snow Eagle landed at the foot of a towering snow-capped mountain.
"This mountain is the Arctic Mountain. It is the sacred mountain of the northern barbarian kingdom. It is said that this mountain contains treasures from ancient times, but unfortunately no one has seen it with their own eyes. It is probably just an unbelievable legend. It is true. The chess cultivators in the world regard this mountain as a resort for chess players, and whenever the Northern Man Kingdom holds a Dao Fruit Conference here, there will be many chess players who come from thousands of miles away, and they don’t know what they want.” Shi Gan explained in person. He opened the rope and let Xue Ying fly back to Fang City on his own, while introducing Ning Fan to the snow mountain in front of him.
"Master Shi Guizhen, is currently waiting for the senior on the mountain, and also invites the senior to go up the mountain to see you." Shi Gandang said respectfully.
"Arctic Mountain..." Ning Fan's eyes revealed a brooding look. The snow-capped mountain in front of him is very similar to the small Arctic mountain in the Ziwei Arctic Palace, the only difference is the size.
In addition, Ning Fan also felt some kind of inexplicable throbbing from this real Arctic mountain.
The blood of the gods in the body, when Ning Fan set foot on the Arctic Mountain, had a faint resonance feeling...
Perhaps, in this mountain, there really is some kind of treasure from ancient times, and it is unknown.
It's different from Ning Fan's expression.
At this moment, Bai Ling has the look and attitude of a pilgrim.
The North Pole Mountain is a holy place in the hearts of all real chess players. As a chess player, she can't hide her excitement.
On this mountain, there should be many powerful chess players, and I really want to learn from them! I don't know if my current chess skills will give me a chance to defeat those chess players who have entered the chess... Bai Ling is looking forward to a duel with strong chess players, but also feels a little guilty and lacks confidence.
So I faced Ning Fan and begged in my heart, if I compete with others, can I ask my senior brother to watch the battle
"Oh? You want me to give pointers from the side?" Ning Fan asked in surprise.
how is this possible! It is the pride of a chess player to watch chess without saying a word, how could I force my senior brother to do something he doesn't want to do...
No, actually cheating or something, I have no guilt, because I am not a chess player. Ning Fan thought so.
For some reason, as long as my senior brother is by my side, I feel very at ease, and I can concentrate like never before. In the past, no matter how concentrated I was, there would inevitably be a little distraction; but these days, with my brother by my side, I for the first time forgot myself and was completely immersed in it...
So all the attention that I can't concentrate on these days has gone to you, right? Ning Fan smiled knowingly.
"Okay, if you play against someone, I will stand behind you and watch the battle." Ning Fan promised.
Thank you, brother, you are such a wonderful person! An unprecedentedly huge good person card slapped Ning Fan's face with a snap.
…
When he didn't go up the mountain, he didn't realize that as soon as he entered the Arctic Mountain, Ning Fan knew that there was an endless world hidden on the mountain, and he couldn't see the end at all.
Therefore, the mountain is too boundless, so teleportation arrays are built everywhere on the mountain for those who enter the mountain to transfer.
Under the leadership of Shi Gandang, Ning Fan used dozens of super-long-distance teleportation formations at the star field level to teleport to the half-mountain of the Arctic Mountain.
"This is the outfield of the Dao Fruit Conference. Most of the monks who have not received the invitation to the conference live here and watch the excitement from a distance. If you want to taste the North Pole Dao Fruit, you need to climb the top of the mountain and enter the conference with an invitation. Infield." Shi Gandang looked at the direction of the towering mountain top, full of envy.
"You and your master, didn't you get an invitation?" Ning Fan asked in surprise.
"Senior, don't joke, only the best friends of the Northern Man God can get the invitation post. The teacher and the Northern Man God have no friendship, so they are not invited." Shi Gandang said regretfully.
"Northern Barbarian God?" Ning Fan was a little concerned about the word Barbarian God in it.
But instead of asking more questions on this topic, he turned his head and looked in a certain direction.
In that direction, two Immortal Emperor auras are slowly approaching.
"Hahaha! Brother Zhang is finally here! Fourth brother, do you think I made a mistake? As long as Brother Zhang receives my letter, he will definitely not break the appointment!" When he came up, he exuded the powerful aura of the Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor.
Behind Shi Guizhen, followed by another Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor, this person is the "fourth brother" in Shi Guizhen's mouth.
When Ning Fan saw the appearance of this "fourth brother", he was stunned.
I just think how this guy looks familiar!
Isn't this guy a quasi-sage under the command of True Monarch Beihai - Immortal Stone
"Happy, happy! I didn't expect that there are such righteous people in the Holy Sect of Hun Kun. Just after receiving a letter from a friend, they are willing to sacrifice their lives and forget their death, and come to the appointment! In the face of such a strong man, you must compose a poem in order to be able to make a difference. Express your inner joy!" The Immortal Emperor of Nine Tribulations, known as the "Fourth Brother", opened his mouth to compose poetry, but he couldn't utter a single sentence with half of his talent. Obviously, his talent for poetry was limited.
"Uh, my fourth brother has a somewhat... straightforward personality, but it made Brother Zhang laugh." Shi Guizhen said embarrassedly.
Then he remembered that he hadn't introduced the fourth brother, so he hurriedly introduced Ning Fan and the "fourth brother".
"This is the close friend I often mention to you, the chief disciple of the Veduo Dharma Protector of the Hun Kun Sect, Brother Zhang Dao Zhang!" Shi Guizhen introduced Ning Fan to the fourth brother.
"This is my brother Xianshi, and this person is the real person named Shixian." It really is Xianshi! It really is this person!
"Nonsense! My Dao name is obviously Shixian! Wait, wait! Come on! Poetry is coming!"
Regardless of Shi Guizhen's desperate obstruction, Xian Shi said nothing, and recited a new poem.
"What an arctic mountain,
Tamar is so good!
The Assembly Hill opened,
I'll come too.
Zhang Dao is a great man,
People are strong and strong.
dare not speak aloud,
Frightening the heavens! "
"Hahaha! Hurry up! Hurry up! Fifth brother, quickly get the pen and paper! Quickly, I will transcribe and frame my brother's masterpiece and keep it as a souvenir!" Xianshi laughed loudly.
Shi Guizhen only felt ashamed and ashamed to express himself, embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself.
"Let Brother Zhang... laugh at me, my fourth brother has such a hobby in his life, but his talents are limited, hey..." Shi Guizhen said in shame.
Ning Fan, who is known as "a strong man is also strong, is afraid of scaring the master", his face is calm, and he doesn't seem to be speechless because of Xianshi's masterpiece.
After all, he was not too surprised when he had seen (killed) the real immortal stone in the Zidou Illusionary Dream Realm.
I have confirmed the poem, and it is my own right.
But also because of this, Ning Fan has a certain sense of fate that can't be explained.
He killed the immortal stone twice in Beitian with his front foot, and actually met the immortal stone in the Holy Son Trial...
"So Bai Ling and I met in this world, is there some kind of destiny..." Ning Fan looked at Bai Ling, who was beside him, thoughtfully.
