Yujiang Village is a very small fishing village, located next to the Pearl River, with only a few dozen households. People in the village make a living by fishing and raising fish. It is not far from Guancheng, but it feels like they are in another world.
Not long after it got dark, a battery car with black and white patterns arrived at the entrance of the village.
Ning Tao stopped the Tiandao battery car. He took out his mobile phone and took a look. It was only 7:32, twenty-eight minutes ahead of the agreed meeting time. He put away his phone and said, "Qing Zhui, you stay here and watch the car. I'll go into the village and take a look."
Qing Zhui got out of the car obediently and asked, "Don't you need me to accompany you?"
Ning Tao said: "No, the other party asked me to meet in this way. If he sees you, he might not show up."
"Okay then, I'll wait for you here." Qing Zhui said.
When Ning Tao entered the village, a faint smell of salted fish hit his nostrils. Every household here pickles salted fish, so that the air is filled with the smell of salted fish. The Pearl River is right next to the village, and the water flows slowly into the distance. There were several motorized fishing boats sailing on the river, heading towards Guancheng, probably to sell the fish they caught at the fish market at the dock.
For most people, life is like this, working from sunrise to sunset. They are not interested in how many secrets there are in this world.
Ning Tao entered the village, carrying a small medicine box across his body, and walked slowly, trying to flap the indestructible fan in his hand. Many people looked at him with curious eyes, and a dog ran after him, but did not bark at him.
Ning Tao passed through the village, observing the people he saw along the way, but unfortunately he did not find any suspicious "targets". He had been thinking about who would invite him to meet in a place like this, but he didn't have a clue after thinking about it.
More than twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye. When Ning Tao was about to walk out of the village, a gray-haired grandmother walked out of a yard, looked at him and asked, "Brother Xi, are you looking for Ma?" People?"
Ning Tao stopped and said politely: "Grandma, please speak Mandarin. I don't quite understand what you say."
At this time, another woman's voice came from the yard, "Qi Gu, just tie her up and invite her in."
The voice sounded vaguely familiar, but Ning Tao couldn't remember where he had heard it. However, this sentence was not complicated at all. He could barely understand it. The woman in the courtyard asked this grandma to invite him in.
Sure enough, grandma waved, "Brother Xi, please come in."
Ning Tao nodded, walked towards grandma, and then entered the door from her side.
Grandma stepped back, reached out and closed the courtyard door, and then said: "Brother Xi, please come with Ya."
Ning Tao was no longer too lazy to analyze what she meant. As he followed her, he awakened the sight and hearing skills of his eyes and nose. With this look and smell, he understood the situation of this fisherman's house. Only one room had the smell of human body released. From the half-open door, he also saw the colorful innate aerospace field released by living creatures.
Moreover, he also saw in Grandma's innate aura the internal energy that only a true internal master would have. That energy was different from the aura of a cultivator, but it was also very powerful. This result surprised him. This grandma looked very weak, but he didn't expect to be a real master. But what was even stronger was her ability to disguise, even he was fooled by her!
Grandma reached the ajar door first, stretched out her hand to push the door open, and then stood at the door and refused to leave.
Ning Tao came to the door, and the lights suddenly turned on in the room. The dim incandescent light dispelled the darkness in the room, and a woman came into his sight when the light came on. When he saw her face clearly, he was stunned for a moment.
The person who asked him to meet in this remote fishing village turned out to be Xin Zhiyu's mother, Zhu Hongqin.
No wonder when he heard her voice just now, he felt a little like he had heard it before. It turned out that he had heard her voice in Ronghua Mansion.
Zhu Hongqin sat in front of an old square table. There were two teacups and a kettle filled with water on the table. Ning Tao entered the room without saying hello, and went straight to sit opposite her.
Zhu Hongqin picked up the kettle and made a cup of tea for Ning Tao, and then said: "Dr. Ning, I'm sorry for inviting you to a place like this without explaining it in advance."
Ning Tao said: "There's no need to apologize. Just tell me why you asked me to meet here."
Zhu Hongqin said: "Can you please give me two minutes to prepare?"
Ning Tao said: "Of course."
Zhu Hongqin stood up from her seat and walked to the window.
Ning Tao turned his eyes to look at her, guessing her purpose. He couldn't help but think of the spiritual tablet with "Crimson Jade" engraved on the back enshrined in the Xin family ancestral hall, and wondered how to ask about the secret of that spiritual tablet later.
But at this moment, the sound of strong wind suddenly came to my ears.
A sense of crisis suddenly arose in Ning Tao's heart, and the spiritual energy bag was activated at that moment. At the same time, he subconsciously raised his arms, preparing to block.
Bang!
As soon as Ning Tao raised his arm, a foot kicked him on the shoulder.
The person who attacked him was the grandmother who was guarding the door, but that wasn't what surprised him. What surprised him was that the grandmother was so agile and fast!
"What are you doing?" Ning Tao was shocked and angry. He used his feet to push his body upwards and pushed the grandmother who sneaked up on him with a push from his shoulders.
The seemingly old and frail grandma twisted her waist in the air, and her right leg that was pushed away fell down, and her left leg suddenly hit Ning Tao's head with the power of twisting her waist.
Whip the leg!
He is so old that he can still perform such an attack!
Is it over yet
Ning Tao simply stopped hiding.
Bang!
Grandma's left leg hit Ning Tao hard on the head, but Ning Tao's fist was also blasted out at that time.
Grandma was startled, seeing that Ning Tao's fist was about to hit her heart, but she could no longer twist and dodge. The change of moves just now was her limit.
However, Ning Tao's fist stopped at the moment when it was about to hit Grandma's heart.
Grandma's right foot landed on the ground.
Ning Tao took a step back.
Grandma's left foot returned to the ground from mid-air. Her eyes were full of surprise. After a brief moment of confusion, she suddenly bowed to Ning Tao and clasped her fists, "Brother Xi, I'm sorry." Then she said to Ning Tao again. Zhu Hongqin said: "Miss, Mr. Ning will be merciful to Ya Bua Qi's opponent."
Zhu Hongqin said: "Qi Gu, please go out."
Grandma hugged Ning Tao again, then turned and left the room.
Ning Tao looked at Zhu Hongqin and said calmly: "If I didn't consider grandma's age, I would have been rude. And you, you invited me to a place like this just to test me. Skill? If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I will be rude to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Hongqin suddenly bent her legs and fell to her knees on the ground.
"You..." Ning Tao didn't know what to say.
Zhu Hongqin said earnestly: "Doctor Ning, please take action to save my son!"
Ning Tao understood immediately. What just happened was Zhu Hongqin trying to test his ability. If he was defeated by that grandma, Zhu Hongqin would not say this, let alone kneel down to him. She knelt down and opened her mouth. Everything was based on grandma opening her mouth and admitting defeat.
"Aunt Zhu, please get up and talk." Ning Tao said.
Zhu Hongqin did not get up, "If you promise me, I will get up. If you don't promise me, I won't get up."
Ning Tao had a headache and smiled bitterly, "Aunt Zhu, even if I promise you, I might not be able to do it. If I don't promise you, I might still be able to help you solve your problem. This is no longer the case, so you It's better to get up and talk. If you don't get up, I will leave. "
Zhu Hongqin hesitated for a moment, then stood up from the ground.
Ning Tao sat back on the chair, "Sit down, I want to hear from you that your son is free from illness and pain, and your husband is a well-known entrepreneur in Guancheng with a high social status. Even the man standing outside the door Grandma's bodyguard, she is also a genuine martial arts master. How can I ask a rich lady like you to kneel down and beg?"
Zhu Hongqin sat back to her original position and was silent for a moment before speaking: "You are not an ordinary doctor, you are a cultivation doctor. Only you can save my son."
Ning Tao was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he no longer felt strange. The Xin family's ancestral hall enshrines the brand of Zhu Hongyu, and the prescription of Xunzu Dan is engraved on Zhu Hongyu's skull. The Zhuhongqin in front of her was related to Zhuhongyu. She knew that there was a cultivation doctor in the world, so it was not surprising.
Zhu Hongqin continued: "That day when you borrowed the ancestral hall to cure Mr. Barnes at my house, I guessed that you were a cultivation doctor. When you entered the ancestral hall of my house, in addition to needing a place to treat Mr. Barnes, I'm afraid you also needed another place. A purpose?"
Ning Tao said: "You have already mentioned it for this reason. If I deny it again or change the topic, it will appear hypocritical. Okay, let me just say it straight. I have deep feelings for Zhu Hongyu, the daughter of Prince Zhu San. I was very interested in her story, and I was looking for an ancient elixir related to her. I didn’t want to enter your ancestral hall that day, but your name reminded me of it, so I borrowed it to Ba. The opportunity for Mr. Enns’ treatment came to your family’s ancestral hall.”
"I'm afraid there is another person, right?" Zhu Hongqin said.
Ning Tao knew who she was talking about, Bai Jing.
"She also wants what you want." Zhu Hongqin said again, "But she is a demon. Not only does she want to take things, she will also kill our whole family. I know them, so I came here to beg. You. I can tell you everything I know, and I can give you that thing, but I have a condition."
Ning Tao said calmly: "What are the conditions?"
Zhu Hongqin said word by word, "Kill Bai Jing!"
Ning Tao was stunned on the spot. He never expected that the conditions offered by Zhu Hongqin would be such a condition.
It's terrifying to think about it carefully, and recall that day, the woman in front of me and Bai Jing were talking and laughing together, just like a harmonious gesture between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. But she didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, she would kill Bai Jing at the cost of secrets in this way!
The Zhu Hongqin in front of me is completely different from the Zhu Hongqin that day, but this woman who is so scheming and scary is the real Zhu Hongqin. Not only is she not simple, she is even terrifying!
Ning Tao was silent for a moment before saying: "Since you know Bai Jing's identity, can't you just stop your son from dating him?"
"Hmph!" Zhu Hongqin snorted coldly, "A demon is a demon. If the crisis my family is facing can be solved by stopping my son from dating Bai Jing, will I still come here to beg you?"
With Bai Sheng's methods and his greed, this is indeed useless.
Ning Tao was silent for a moment before saying: "Give me some time, this is not a simple decision, I need to think about it."
Zhu Hongqin said: "I will give you three days. If you don't agree to my words after three days, I will find someone else to help."
Ning Tao nodded, "Okay, just three days. I will give you an answer in three days."
Zhu Hongqin said: "Seventh Aunt, see the guests off."
"No need to send him off, I can just leave by myself." Ning Tao stood up and left.
Qi Gu bowed slightly to Ning Tao, showing great respect.
Inside the door, a strange light flashed in Zhu Hongqin's eyes...
