Ning Ning always had a bad premonition.
It was three poles in the sun now, but when she and Pei Ji woke up and planned to leave the inn to go to the city lord's mansion, they did not see the shadow of other people in the division.
Meng Jue, Zheng Weiqi, Lin Xun, He Zhizhou, and even Master Tian Xianzi, none of these warriors who stayed in Tianxianglou to continue drinking did not return, the door was locked, and no matter how much they knocked on the door, there was no response.
"Shouldn't they be?" Ning Ning thought of Pei Ji's appearance last night, and couldn't help but worry for a while, "Isn't it awake after being drunk?"
Today is the day when the results of the first round of the Fa conference are announced. If the disciples do not show up, they may not be discovered.
However, as an elder of the Xuanxu Sword Sect, Tian Xianzi seemed to have to give a speech in front of everyone after listening to his eloquent speech at the banquet last night, telling him about the formation in the secret realm.
If it doesn't appear, her master's reputation will be completely over.
"They may have already gone to the City Lord's Mansion."
For some unknown reason, Pei Ji always seemed a bit reserved and indifferent. Standing behind her, she said solemnly, "It's not a long journey from Tianxianglou to the City Lord's Mansion."
This is the luckiest possibility right now.
Ning Ning nodded: "Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion first."
=====
Before entering the City Lord's Mansion, Ning Ning came to the door early, and when he looked up, he saw the Luan Bird Statue.
There are many pavilions in the city lord's mansion, and luan birds spread their wings between the blue tiles and cornices.
"I heard that there are two Luan bird statues."
Seeing her raising her head, Pei Ji also followed Ning Ning's line of sight and looked up: "One in the north and one in the south. The gems embedded in the eyes have been casted, and they can continue to rotate within a certain angle to record what they see."
Like four surveillance cameras constantly dangling.
However, just as surveillance cameras always have dead ends, these four stones also have obvious loopholes.
"Even if there is a luan bird, the murderer can still take advantage of the gap when the gem is removed, right?"
Because of what happened last night, when Ning Ning and Pei Ji were alone, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
She didn't know whether the drunken words and actions were true or false, so she couldn't have the cheek to ask him directly: "Why did you say such ambiguous words last night?"
This is too embarrassing, she will have no face to see Pei Ji again.
and-
Ning Ning glanced at his quiet, water-like profile, and for no reason remembered the smile that Pei Ji had lying on the bed last night.
He said that he had practiced for a long time and was definitely not smirking.
It's just because of a joke she once blurted out, is it true that Pei Ji practiced smiling in front of the mirror over and over again
The thought made her a little confused.
Of course, Pei Ji didn't know the intricate thoughts in her head, so she replied in a low voice, "Yeah."
After he said a word, he seemed to feel that this response was a bit perfunctory, so he continued in a deep voice: "It is said that after the Luan Bird Statue was installed, there was a missing girl in Luan City, and the criminal minister turned over the recorded images. , did not find any useful clues."
Ning Ning walked with him to the mansion, and asked curiously, "Where is that girl missing?"
"The Land of Fireworks and Willow Lane."
Pei Ji's tone was still very light, different from the previous night: "There is a long street with flower buildings in Luan City, called 'Hundred Flowers Deep', the missing dancer was a few days later because of no relatives and no reason. Mammy noticed that she was gone."
Thinking about it this way, it's a bit bittersweet.
They are all poor people who came out to seek life. The girl was helpless, and no one even knew that the world had evaporated.
Now that the demons have disappeared, the world can barely be called peace. If it was in the past, this kind of thing was not uncommon. The mortals with low cultivation base are all ants, and even if they resist desperately, they cannot shake their cultivation power in the slightest, and they can only be crushed to death like ants.
Ning Ning sighed thinking about this, and when he looked up again, he had reached the main entrance of the front yard.
The disciples who were robbed of all tokens and left the illusion halfway knew that they had no chance, and most of them did not come to today's banquet. Looking around, the battle of the banquet is still the same, but the number of guests is less than half.
Ning Ning looked left and right, searched carefully, and finally his eyes lit up, and found the figure of the little white dragon Lin Xun in the corner.
It's just that he doesn't seem right.
Wearing a white robe seems to have been ravaged by madness, and the folds are like the ripples on the river surface when the flood is pouring, and they are wrinkled. The whole person sat motionless in the shadow of the eaves, as if his brain had been eaten by a zombie, and he became a walking dead.
Later, when she took a closer look, she realized that not only did the white robe seem to be ravaged, but he himself was like a shrunken SpongeBob SquarePants.
Ning Ning and Pei Ji looked at each other, stepped forward and called softly, "Junior Brother Lin?"
The moment Lin Xun raised her head, she smelled a sweet smell of wine. As expected of Jiuzhou Spring Return, even after so long, Yuxiang still feels like a spring breeze.
Seeing that he was still dumbfounded, Ningning continued to ask worriedly, "Are you all right? What about the others except you? What happened last night?"
The dragon clan boy stared at her. After a long while, he took a deep breath with red eyes and shouted aggrievedly: "Little, little senior sister - so scary, so scary, Master, they are all crazy!"
Lin Xun gave birth to the appearance of a white and clean young man who was harmless to humans and animals. At this time, his eyes were watery, his voice was soft like cotton, and two light pink dragon horns swayed along his head, which could be called a big killer in the world.
Cheng Ying laughed and said, "Last night, you were just like this kid. When Ningning was acting like a spoiled child, hey, hey, hey hey."
Pei Ji's eyes dimmed, and her expression that was not friendly in the first place became more gloomy, and she tightly pursed her thin lips.
If he had heard Chengying's words before, he would have ignored it with complete disgust, but at this time, seeing Ning Ning's soft voice comforting Lin Xun, he subconsciously spoke out in his heart.
"I-"
He seemed to feel extremely ashamed of this sentence, his tone was extremely stiff, and it took a lot of courage to finish it in one breath: "Me and him, who is better?"
Cheng Ying was stunned.
Then there was a loud laugh: "My God, Pei Xiaoji! Is this something that would come out of your mouth? Is the sun coming out of the west?"
The more it talked, the more excited it became. The words were mixed with a very strange and ghostly "hee hee" sound: "Are you... jealous or enlightened?"
Pei Ji frowned, resisting the heat rising from her ears, and said coldly, "Answer."
Cheng Ying laughed for a long time, and said in a whispered voice: "Of course it's you! Pei Xiaojing is the cutest in the world. When Ning Ning listened to you coquetry last night, her face was super super red. "
Pei Ji: …
Pei Ji's heart was numb, and he just wanted to draw his sword and slash himself, and die together with this incomparably wretched uncle.
But embarrassment turned into embarrassment, he was always rational, he raised his eyelids in silence when he heard the words, and quietly looked into the ears of the girl beside him.
Ying white as jade, no red.
Lin Xun didn't make her feel shy or embarrassed.
Pei Ji retracted his gaze with satisfaction, most of the annoyance in his heart dissipated, and he was reluctantly willing to forgive Chengying who was chattering for a while.
Ning Ning was startled by Xiao Bailong, and answered in a soft voice, "Tell me slowly, what happened to them, Master?"
"Last night, you and Brother Pei left Tianxianglou. Both Master and Senior Sister Zheng said that Jiuzhou Spring Return is a fine wine. We finally got the city lord to treat a guest, and we must not waste it, so we kept drinking. Senior Brother Meng Jue and I They have also been irrigated by them all the time…”
Lin Xun gradually showed a look of horror, and his eyes widened: "In the end, everyone went crazy, Senior Sister Shizun and Senior Brother He jumped out of the window like monkeys and ran away, Senior Brother Meng Jue was lying unconscious on the ground, I drink At least, I barely had a little consciousness left to chase the three of them, but I also fainted halfway and can't remember anything."
The good wine party has been reduced to a monkey-playing conference. When I think of the three people jumping up and down with bared teeth and grins, they finally jumped out of the window on the third floor in full view...
It's so terrifying, it's hard to even think about it.
Ning Ning still had a night pearl in his storage bag. He planned to give it to Lin Xun as a gift after the first round of trials. However, seeing his dejected appearance, he obviously didn't want to accept it.
She had to put this matter aside first, and continued to ask thoughtfully: "Senior brother Meng Jue did not appear in the city lord's mansion... Do you remember where the three of them ran off to?"
Lin Xun didn't know what to think, and his whole body trembled instantly, and whispered four words: "The depths of a hundred flowers."
Oh wow.
Coincidentally, it was the long street where the last woman disappeared, and I didn't know if the three ran in in a daze and would cause any trouble.
"Miss Ningning!"
She was worrying about the misfortune of the teacher, and a clear voice sounded in her ears. Ning Ning turned her head, just in time to hit Qiao Yan's light brown eyes.
The little girl from the fox clan finally faded away from her former melancholy, and there was a slight smile in her eyes. When she saw her, her ears twitched, and a faint halo was reflected by the sun.
Lin Xun's alcoholism and social fear erupted at the same time, and they huddled together in the corner.
Ning Ning smiled: "Calling 'Miss Ning Ning' is too foreign, just call me by my name. I wonder what happened to the Linghu clan?"
"Last night, the elders of Su Wentang gave a diagnosis to the whole clan. It was just that demonic energy entered the body. If you cultivate well in a place rich in spiritual energy, you will be able to regain consciousness within half a year, and it will be the same as usual."
Qiao Yan said: "As for the demons, they have been detained in the dungeons. After the ceremony is over, the elders of Kunshan will bring them back to the demon refining tower."
Ning Ning nodded clearly, paused for a while, and then asked slowly, "Then which sect do you plan to bring them into?"
"Suwentang's dedicated medical skills are of great benefit to the recovery of my clan. In addition, I have been studying medical methods in the secret realm all the year round, which is exactly in line with this."
The fox girl blinked her eyes and smiled calmly and docilely: "In addition to my spirit fox clan, there are many people in the world who are imprisoned. If I can learn something and save them from water and fire with medical skills, that would be my greatest achievement. wishes."
She really grew up a lot overnight. She was no longer the little girl who held a bow and arrow and wanted revenge when she first met Ning Ning and his party. Ning Ning was not surprised by this result, thinking about the secret realm, and then added: "The sun-burning bow—"
Joey shook his head with a smile.
"I don't know how many killings and looting that bow has attracted, and I don't have the ability to control it now. Why don't I leave it in the secret realm."
This is the best ending.
The city lord of Luan City, not far away, has already walked to the center of the banquet and said a lot of official polite words similar to those spoken under the national flag. After Ning Ning finished talking with Qiao Yan, he heard him laugh out loud:
"There are many disciples who don't know what happened in the secret realm. The remnants of the demons and the formation of the fantasy realm, thanks to the little fellow Daoist Ning Ning of the Xuanxu Sword Sect, they were able to protect the secret realm of Shuijing. His master, Elder Tianxian, explained the secrets to you one by one."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding disciples stopped their movements in a very face-saving manner, maintaining the same posture as Luo Yuanming and looking forward to it. However, after half a cup of tea, the elder Tianxian whose name was called never appeared.
A cloud in the sky slowly came and walked slowly, without making a sound from beginning to end.
Luo Yuanming was very embarrassed, and looked at each other with several other elders, his temples throbbing.
Ning Ning pulled La Peijing's sleeve and looked stiff.
Her heart was hanging on her throat, and she stared at the center of the banquet without moving. She never expected that a young man with an unusually familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of her and walked forward slowly.
It is the tenth wonder of the world. Tian Xianzi, who was supposed to be so drunk that he couldn't find the north, actually appeared in the city lord's mansion, but his expression was not quite right, his eyes were red and swollen, and he was like a wandering murderer who had been on the run for ten years. similar.
He won't, he hasn't woken up yet.
Ning Ning's sixth sense was like being thrown into a trash can and rotated 720 degrees, and then fermented with stinky mandarin fish, stinky tofu and snail lion powder for 7749 days, which was worse than before.
"You little friends—"
Tianxian Zichu was standing at the place where Luo Yuanming was standing, and he smiled at everyone. Because his body was not steady, he swayed to the side, his whole expression distorted like a bowl of wontons.
Thanks to him, a good righteous banquet, life and life is like a person in the demon sect reporting the killing results. "As we all know, these ten methods—"
He paused when he said this, as if he had forgotten the words, took out a thin piece of paper from his arms, squinted his eyes and looked down: "Ten methods, this is a rare event for us in several years!"
Ten Ways of God's Mother. So what are they here for, the funeral ceremony
Luo Yuanming's eyes widened, he almost didn't catch his breath, he hesitated.
"Well, let me see. Let's fix—"
Tian Xianzi obviously hadn't recovered from the drunken state, and staggered to identify the handwriting on the paper.
He couldn't understand clearly, the words were all vague, and he couldn't see whether the word "Xiu" was "Xian" or "True" or "Tao", so he tried to identify it for a long time, and wrinkled rather irritably Brows, eyes flickering.
Beneath the page is his wide open feet.
Oh, it's not "immortal" or "true", nor is it "dao".
He understands, the words occupying his entire mind at this moment are—
"Ten methods, for our shoe repair industry, is a rare event in several years!"
Tian Xianzi raised his eyebrows and said, "Among them, my good disciple, Ning Ning, is a talented person in the shoe repair industry. I am extremely proud of her as a teacher!"
Many people around him cast extremely shocked eyes, Ning Ning just wanted to close his eyes and die in a decent way.
Luo Yuanming slammed into people so that he would not faint. And Tian Xianzi next to him is still eloquently talking:
"If you want to say what happened in the secret realm, you are absolutely unexpected!"
The city lord's mansion was as silent as death. Pei Ji stood in front of Ning Ning with a blank face, blocking the sight of Ning Ning from all directions, and she herself no longer dared to listen.
"The secret realm was set up by the demons to set up a water mirror formation. The place where everyone first arrived was actually the dark side of the formation and the place where the demons gathered."
He spoke passionately and danced: "It was Ning Ning who noticed the eye of the formation, holding the Demon Lord and fighting the sword for 300 rounds, and this caused the demons to be severely damaged and the secret realm to be peaceful!"
take. on. magic. Sir.
Jianzun Zhenxiao, who has always had the best relationship with this person, had a pale face, his hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and he poured a sip of hot tea.
"Elder Tianxian."
After all, this person is a well-known power in Xianmen. Even if Luo Yuanming sees something wrong, he can't smear other people's face in public.
Seeing that Tian Xianzi said this, he stopped in a daze, he was very knowledgeable about the situation and lowered his voice, and reminded in a low volume that only two people could hear: "Elder Tianxian, at this time, Ning Ning should be called to the stage, it's up to me. Reward."
Tian Xianzi nodded, twisted his head stiffly like a broken artificial mental retardation, and scanned most of the people present. Since Ning Ning was blocked by Pei Ji, he did not see the shadow of the little girl in his impression.
"But Ning Ning her—"
He tilted his head, his eyes were full of disappointment and confusion, and he said to Luo Yuanming dumbfoundedly: "Ning Ning, she's gone. Even if her name is called now, no one will come up."
The elders were startled, the disciples were stunned, and the scene was chaotic.
not anymore.
- Heaven and earth! Ning Ning is dead? !
Junior Sister Ning Ning of the Xuanxu Sword Sect, she, she was seriously injured after the showdown with the devil? ! Was the Oolong incident at the secret exit that day the last time they saw her? !
No wonder she had a different expression that day, could it be... is it returning to the light? !
Ning Ning's eyes darkened, she tightly grasped Pei Ji's sleeve and tried to take a deep breath.
People who weren't near her sighed, and the disciples next to her looked sideways, looking terrified, and took a few steps back quietly.
Then I heard Tian Xianzi's voice like a broken gong: "Don't be discouraged for the rest of the little fellow Daoists, no matter how unknown you are now, as long as you practice diligently, you will be like Ning Ning. The Phoenix!"
This time it wasn't just Luo Yuanming, the entire venue was boiling.
Who would want to fall to the ground like her!
"This man is crazy!"
Lin Qian shouted in horror, "Quick, quick, who will stop him!"
"Did he mean to say 'get ahead', 'reborn'?"
Qu Feiqing saw the tricky at a glance: "This is drunk."
"Elder Tianxian, what's wrong with you!"
Luo Yuanming's face was pale with fright, and he hurried forward to stop him, but Tian Xianzi suddenly turned his head, and the fierce and maddening killing intent in his eyes made him dare not step forward.
This look is really terrifying, and the guards in the city lord's mansion followed the trend. They thought that the elder Tianxian was going to draw a sword to fight, but he didn't think that the other party just smiled coldly and took a step back: "What are you doing? Want to catch me? No way! "
So all the people above the banquet watched as Elder Tianxian kept doing backflips and flying backwards.
He fled, they chased, he couldn't fly.
Under the heavy siege, Tian Xianzi did not panic, but jumped straight to a horse in the corner, raised his hand to rein in the reins, and said loudly with swallowing pride: "Brother good horse, before It was you who was ridden, and today I'll let you ride it too! Let's run away!"
His show finally turned into a knife that stabbed at him.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion, and outside the City Lord's Mansion, everyone was shocked.
—Help, Elder Tianxian picked up a horse without a word, swung a big circle in the air, and ran to the street with the screams like a steed killing a pig!
People on the street turned their horses on their backs and screamed again and again. The horses swayed up and down on his shoulders, whining, and he was scared to the point of foaming at the mouth. Accompanied by Tian Xianzi's flamboyant laughter, it resounded in the wild.
Its wildness is far beyond the reach of people, and the people of Luan City call it "the number one madman who abuses horses and beheads" in Xianmen, and has a famous reputation.
"Sister Ningning, go and save them!"
Lin Xun in the corner either felt the same way, or was startled by Tian Xianzi, sobbing and choking: "If even the master looks like this... Then senior sister and senior brother He are in the depths of the flowers, they have to What are you doing!"
