Ning Ning had never been tempted to kill from the very beginning.
Although many spirit beasts and monsters in the secret realm of Xiaozhongshan will attack humans indiscriminately, in the final analysis, it is just to defend the territory and expel the invaders.
For them, the cultivator who suddenly appeared was the unreasonable one.
Therefore, unless she is in a critical moment of life and death, she does not intend to directly kill the rest of the time.
The human-faced scorpion was praised by her, but she didn't expect it to be very useful. After snorting coldly, he not only pointed out the exit of the cave, but also marked the location of Tianxincao on Ningning's map, so that she could go to find it.
After leaving the green and gloomy cave, Ning Ning really entered the small mountain.
The cave is located halfway up the mountain, and if you look around, you can see the surrounding mountains.
The sky and clouds, the mountains and the water are all a leisurely blue color up and down. The dense fog in the distance hides the green mountains like eyebrows, and the birds and flowers are fragrant in the vicinity.
The place where the human-faced scorpion pointed was very close to the cave, but it took only half a stick of incense, and Ning Ning successfully arrived at the destination.
This is a small corner on the edge of the cliff that is blocked by boulders. The stone is tightly attached to the mountain wall next to it, leaving only a small gap that only one person can pass through.
The gap is blocked by vines and branches and leaves, and it is difficult to find it without careful observation. If you look through the gap with the vegetation, the other side is just a very narrow small open space.
Most ordinary people lose interest in seeing this, but they would never think that if they look to the right through the gap, they will find a white spirit plant with four heart-shaped leaves in the corner blocked by the boulder. .
- It is said that every leaf can cure all diseases of Tianxincao.
What Ningning didn't expect was that when she lifted up the thick vines beside the boulder, she heard a strange female voice behind the boulder.
The voice was extremely soft, I don't know if it was out of fear or nervousness, and when he spoke, he trembled softly: "Senior, my family is seriously ill, if there is no Tianxincao to help..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted unceremoniously by another bright and flamboyant voice: "I've seen your excuse a lot. Instead of trying to deceive me, it's better to think about how to take over this pair."
There are actually two people in such a secret place
Ning Ning was suspicious and stuck his head in.
There were really two figures standing behind the boulder.
One of them, she had some impressions, was the Yunyue in Luming Mountain who never talked to strangers; the other woman was in her twenties, with flat features but super dusty temperament, leaning against the stone wall behind her with a half-smile.
Sensing the breath of strangers, the two turned their heads at the same time.
Yunyunyue looked like a frightened rabbit, and immediately lowered her eyelashes after staring at each other for a very short time; on the contrary, the woman acted like a master and smiled grinningly: "Is it also here to fetch Tianxincao?"
Seeing Ning Ning nodding, he immediately said: "I am the spirit in the stone. I have been here with Tianxincao for a hundred years. If you want to take it away, you must first ask me what I mean."
She didn't show any obvious rejection. Ning Ning understood that there was a play and asked politely, "What do you mean by senior?"
"This broken place is very boring. For so many years, the only human object I have come into contact with is the "Nianhua Pair" that I don't know who landed here."
Shi Zhongling was very satisfied with her cooperation, and raised his lips: "Unfortunately, I have looked at the match for so many years, but I can't find anyone to match. Today, I will give you an answer. This grass is handed over. I won't bully you, and I will allow you to not delve into both the flat and the artistic conception, and you only need to write the words, how about it?"
This is actually a very literary monster, probably a distant relative of Sun Wukong, all born of stone.
Ning Ning nodded and looked at Yunyun Yue beside him: "You come first, I won't cut in the queue."
Yunyunyue still lowered her head and didn't look at her, just being said a word, an unnatural thin red swelled in her ears, and she pursed her lips.
"This girl is wrong."
During the conversation, an old yellowed book appeared in the woman's hand. In the rustling sound of the pages turning, Shi Zhongling's unhurried voice said, "First, let's have a simple one."
Ning Ning blurted out: "pie ravioli."
She clearly felt that the smile at the corner of Shi Zhongling's mouth stiffened.
But the other party is a stone that has been nurtured by literature.
Ning Ning didn't know what scene she remembered, she rubbed her stomach and laughed softly: "Dapan Dongtu Fatty Cow."
Shi Zhongling: …
Shi Zhongling smirked: "You girl, why can't you live without food?"
Ning Ning was serious: "Didn't you say that you don't have to go into detail about the level and the artistic conception? As long as you don't get the words right."
She was quite righteous.
Shi Zhongling hadn't recited poetry for a long time, but this time he finally met one, but it turned out to be a thorn.
In this case, she made it more difficult. In a more advanced pair, she didn't believe that the girl could continue to put out a bunch of food and drink things on the premise of a neat match.
"My third pair, Hantang Duhejiao."
The other party was stunned for a while.
Thinking about it, this girl is just a little clever. Once she encounters a difficult sentence, she will inevitably be finished—
This thought flashed through my mind, and before it fully emerged, a girl's crisp voice sounded in my ears: "Hot pot stewed pig's trotters."
Shi Zhongling's face twitched.
Hot versus cold, stew versus cross, pig trotter versus crane feet, not only the radicals are opposite, but the semantics and parts of the words are also very compatible. Although it doesn't sound like a problem at first...
But she always felt that her upper link was dirty.
- No matter how you think about it, it smells like stewed pig trotters, bastard! Have you been a pot in your last life! Eating and eating is in the mind all day long!
"You, you girl!"
Shi Zhongling gritted his teeth: "Ping Zhe artistic conception is all wrong, it's like playing ruthless right!"
The so-called ruthless pairing is a very special format in the couplet. It does not require the content of the upper and lower links to be related and the grammatical structure is symmetrical, but only requires a single-word confrontation. Therefore, it will inevitably look awkward and funny, resulting in a strange and unpredictable sense of gap.
For example, Zeng Guofan wrote "Peach and Plum in the Public Gate, France, Holland and Belgium"; during the Republic of China, there was also "Three-star Brandy, May with Yellow Plum Sky".
In the final analysis, this is just the last technique in the couplet, a kind of word game.
"What's wrong with ruthless? How fun is ruthless."
Ning Ning admitted it generously: "Extreme poverty is for nothing, excuses are for retaliation, sailors are for ham, fungus is for Huaxin - don't you just say the words right?"
Shi Zhongling was speechless by what she said, and after taking a deep breath to ease the helpless suffocation in his chest, he continued: "Come again! Azalea is red. Azalea is red."
Azalea is a botanical name, and the word "ying" can also be used as a verb alone.
After she finished speaking, she raised her eyes and glared at Ning Ning: "Don't say stewed pig's trotters, stewed pig's trotters, roast duck's feet and roast duck's feet! This combination has the same artistic conception."
"… Oh."
Ning Ning's lines were robbed, and she felt a little lost for a while. Seeing her sullen expression standing on the spot, Shi Zhongling couldn't help but draw a smug chuckle from the corner of his mouth.
If she can't be clever this time, she should have nothing to do.
"This couplet is very interesting, but I'm just ignorant of it."
Ning Ning's voice came softly as she expected, and the woman's smile deepened.
In fact, this little girl is quite interesting, even though she is the last streamer, it is not easy for her to play with food. If the mouth is sweeter later, it is not impossible to get Tianxincao.
She thought about it and nodded with approval, but she didn't expect that at the same time, the voice was still ringing in her ear: "—I only want to come up with two, but there are some flaws."
Shi Zhongling raised his head sharply.
"The first is 'Yingchunhua Yingchunhua', with flowers in pairs, from the image point of view, it is in line with the blooming scenery of Shanglian Mountain; Azalea blooms in autumn, spring and autumn, which is also a distant correspondence. It's a pity that 'spring flowers' and The part of speech of 'Shanhong' is not very suitable, and it has become a failure."
Ning Ning said slowly: "The second is 'Yu Meiren Yu Meiren', the word "Yu Meiren", which uses flowers to please the beauty. Although it also has a sense of liveliness, it is still worse than the previous couplet."
Shi Zhongling opened his lips slightly and said slowly, "Not bad."
"Since senior loves pairings so much, it just so happens that a gentleman in my hometown wrote a pairing, which is called the absolute hard-to-find couplet. I wonder if seniors want to give it a try?"
Seeing the woman's eyes light up, Ning Ning smiled: "Shanglian is, 'The thief is stealing things secretly'."
This couplet seems simple and vernacular, but it is actually a very interesting word game. The four "steal" characters encompass three meanings, not to mention reduplication and sentence coherence.
In the world where Ning Ning originally lived, the descendants of the hundreds of years have been matched against each other, but they are only "historical books, books, books, ancient and modern".
As soon as the first couplet came out, Shi Zhongling really calmed down, frowned and lowered his head in deep thought.
However, after thinking about it, he couldn't answer, he pondered for a while and then laughed loudly: "Miaozai... Miaozai! I thought that if I read "Nianhua Pairs" well, I would not be bothered by confrontation anymore, but the result is still far from it. Anyway, today is considered to be your victory over me, so you can take Tianxincao."
Ning Ning blushed at the praise, and waved his hands again and again: "I didn't write this pair, let alone I can't be right. I just borrowed something from my predecessors, so I can't talk about winning."
Shi Zhongling's expression didn't change, and he pointed with his fingertips, and the Tianxin grass in the corner floated out of thin air and floated straight to the hands of the little girl not far away.
Ning Ning always felt ashamed, and told her a few ancient absolutes similar to "smoke lock on the pond willow", "you travel to the West Lake to pick up the tin pot, the tin pot falls off the West Lake, and the tin pot is cherished". She heard the banshee. Tsk tsk amazed, his eyes stared like copper bells: "The gentlemen in Xiaoyou's hometown are really gods!"
Ning Ning was happier than he was being praised, and nodded in agreement: "Of course! The people in my family are very good, and everyone is super awesome!"
Shi Zhongling got a lot of first couplets, and returned to the boulder contentedly, and disappeared in an instant. Ning Ning looked down at the white Tianxincao, but did not notice the strange eyes of the girl beside her.
Yunyunyue's eyes dimmed, and she subconsciously clenched her skirt.
She came to the secret realm of Xiaozhongshan for the sole purpose of obtaining Tianxincao, and finally came here after she finally asked all the spirit beasts in the mountains who understood human language.
She didn't expect that Shi Zhongling's way of testing people was actually something she was not good at at all, and she never expected that Tianxincao would be taken by another person first.
All her skills are inferior to others.
But…
The girl in the blue skirt bit her lower lip secretly, suppressing her heart that was beating wildly, and said in an inaudible voice, "Girl, Tianxincao—"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a small ying-white hand suddenly stretched out in front of him.
What she held in her hand and handed to her were actually two pieces of crystal clear, still stained with hazy dew...
Celestial grass leaves.
Rao is Yunyue, who has always been expressionless, and his pupils suddenly shrink.
She is... wanting to give up half of the Tianxincao
In Yunyue's cognition, this kind of thing is pure fantasy.
All the cultivators she knew had fought hard for resources, and even committed all kinds of scandalous things that hurt the world and rob people of opportunities. Tianxincao is a valuable treasure, and they only met for the first time, and the sword repair in front of them actually...
Did you give it to her without hesitation
"I heard your conversation with that senior."
The unfamiliar little girl she has never met has sincere eyes, her bright almond eyes are like black grapes, pure and free of impurities: "I hope your relatives are safe and sound."
It was because of those words.
But even Shi Zhongling said that she had heard that excuse so many times that she didn't believe it. This girl looks like a smart person, how can there be no doubt
"I heard that you don't take the initiative to talk to people. If you ask for it for it, it must be an urgent situation."
Ning Ning saw the doubts in her heart and grinned: "Even if you are lying, I am not at a loss. Anyway, I have already obtained Tianxincao, and one or two pieces are enough. If your family's life is delayed because of doubt, then That's really bad."
The Tianxincao in front of her got closer to her again.
Yunyunyue resisted the urge to redden her eyes, and took it with her fingertips trembling, almost exhausting all the courage in her body and whispering: "Thank you."
No one will know how tormented she has been these days.
Although known as the genius Lexiu of Lumingshan once in a century, Yunyunyue's childhood was actually a mess.
As a concubine of a big clan, she has the heart disease that she is afraid to talk to others, her father is neglected, her mother only treats her as a useless tool, and only her grandmother is willing to get along with her like ordinary people, teaching her little granddaughter to read, play the piano and female red.
Now that my grandmother is seriously ill, only Tianxincao has the effect of prolonging her life. She came full of longing, and when she saw Ning Ning holding the Heavenly Heart Grass, all hope was shattered into despair.
But now there are two small leaves appearing in her palm.
like dreaming.
A stream of heat rushed to her eyes, Yunyunyue lowered her head and took a deep breath: "The grace of saving life will be reciprocated by the spring."
As she said, she was about to lean over to thank her, but Ning Ning held her shoulders: "No, no! I'm embarrassed for you like this... Anyway, it's not for helping you for any reward."
Yunyunyue looked up at her very quickly, her quivering eyelashes like black butterflies fluttering with wings. Her eyes were slightly red, and her cheeks were also pale pink. She didn't speak any more, and the surroundings fell into silence.
However, the silence didn't last long when it was suddenly broken by a mad boy's voice: "Return my sword!"
Then there was another shout, even more arrogant: "Little devil, let you try my Armstrong cyclotron jet cannon! Da-da, da-da!"
This very familiar voice, very familiar lines.
Ning Ning felt suffocated for a while.
"Sorry, looks like someone I know. I'll go out and see."
After she hurriedly explained to Yunyunyue, she came to the other side of the suddenly clear boulder from the gap, and happened to meet a pair of red bloodshot eyes.
He Zhizhou's hair was messy, and he held two unsheathed long swords in a gun position, shooting randomly; behind him was a breathless young man, Ning Ning had some impression that he seemed to be a member of Wanjianzong, whose name was Xu Ye .
She was startled and called tentatively, "He Zhizhou!"
The picturesque young man was stunned, and suddenly smiled kindly at her: "Second Battalion Commander, you're here! Bring me the Italian cannon!"
Ningning:
"This person, this person is poisoned!"
Xu Ye, who was following behind him, stopped to pant: "I was sent to the jungle with him, and Senior Brother He picked the white mushrooms under the tree and ate them, and suddenly it happened."
After he was out of breath, he pointed at He Zhizhou viciously: "Hurry up and return the sword to me!"
"Take a gun at me?"
Unexpectedly, the other party ignored him, but instead smiled evilly: "I bet there is no bullet in your gun."
Ning Ning was stunned: "Yan, Yan Shuangying?"
"good!"
He Zhizhou said with a big wave of his hand, arrogantly: "Li Yunlong, rush with me! Tonight we will kill these little devils and go to Jinggang Mountain to join the Red Army!"
Help! This poisoning is too deep!
Before Ning Ning could say anything, he saw He Zhizhou looking around and jumping to the ground without warning. At the same time, he used both hands and legs, and began to wriggle like a frog.
That's right, squirming.
Ning Ning really didn't see it, and turned his eyes to Xu Ye.
Unexpectedly, the young man who was serious just a second ago suddenly hunched his waist and lowered his head, and his hands kept swinging on both sides of his head. Occasionally, he turned his head to look at her and looked at her with his mouth open, his eyes widening.
Ning Ning's sanity dropped sharply and asked cautiously, "What are you two doing?"
"Nonsense, swim."
Xu Ye looked at the idiot's expression for granted: "You are comfortable sitting on the boat—be careful! There is a huge wave over there!"
Where are the waves, where are the boats.
As a result, you were also poisoned, bro! ! ! It's not normal for the two of you to work together! Are you the legendary Luyouji? She's so scared!
He Zhizhou on the other side continued to use his hands and feet to use the breaststroke, turning his head from time to time to smile at her, and said in a low voice:
"Tell you quietly, the chairman told me that Optimus Prime and the Hulk promised to help us make a revolution. International friends are good! After swimming across the Yalu River, the new China will be established!"
The two of you said what you said and I said what I said, shaking their bodies and limbs in different postures. The scene was very strange at one time.
I would rather call it a self-cultivation version of the zombies, the new version of Busan, the tenth Resident Evil.
Just when I didn't know what to do, a voice that I had never heard before suddenly came from my ears, with undisguised aggressiveness, and the comer was not good: "I saw the spiritual energy overflowing in the package of the Taoist friend, could it be that I have found the rumored Tianxin. —”
Before the man could finish speaking, he just stood there in a daze.
He followed the spiritual energy, and it was only at this moment that he finally saw the situation here.
The two sect disciples seemed to have gone crazy. One was lying on the ground and squirming forward, while the other looked like a living corpse that had been drained of blood essence. His hands were trembling like flowers on the top of his head, and he staggered and approached him step by step. .
It's too scary.
The young man shuddered and took a half step back.
He recognized the one who was wearing the Xuanxu Sword Sect uniform, and heard the gossip from Xu Ye of Wanjian Sect. The people in this sect were very abnormal. It is best to avoid it if you can, otherwise you will be at your own risk.
And the other who looked like a living corpse—
Yaoshou! It was actually Xu Ye himself!
He panicked, panicked like a child who had never experienced anything.
Could it be the madness of the Xuanxu Sword Sect, and there is still a phenomenon of human-to-human transmission!
