Ning Tao walked out of Tianwai Clinic, and a snowflake fell on his cheek, melting quickly. He looked up at the night sky and saw more snowflakes falling from the dark sky.
It's snowing, the first snow this winter.
Autumn turns to winter, and the four seasons change. They have not changed for billions of years. The world has its own laws and trajectories, which cannot be reversed by human power.
Jingle bell, jingle bell…
The phone in his trouser pocket suddenly remembered the ringtone of an incoming call. Ning Tao took out the phone and took a look at it, then opened the answer button.
As expected, this was a call from Lin Qinghua.
"Is Su Ya okay?" Lin Qinghua's voice came from the mobile phone.
Ning Tao's voice was cold: "You still have the nerve to call me? She is fine, but you are."
Lin Qinghua was silent for a moment before saying: "I know you are very angry now and want to kill me, but I still want to say it. Your hair is in my hand. I will take all the skull fragments in your hand." Give it to me and I promise you he'll be fine."
"What if I refuse?" Ning Tao said.
"I hope you don't do this. Not only will Ge Ming die, but more people will be hurt because of your stubbornness." Lin Qinghua's voice sounded threatening.
Ning Tao laughed angrily: "Okay, tell me the time and place."
"Wait for my call." After saying that, Lin Qinghua hung up the phone.
Ning Tao was dazed for a while, and then returned to the rented courtyard house.
At the door, the barking dog wags its tail at Ning Tao.
Ning Tao reached out and touched its head. In the past, he would have played with it and tested its English vocabulary, but today he was really not in the mood.
As soon as Ning Tao entered, Yin Molan, Bai Jing and Jiang Hao greeted him.
"Where is my sister?" Bai Jing asked anxiously.
Ning Tao said: "I asked her to stay in Sunshine Orphanage. Now is an extraordinary period, and people need to protect her there."
"Aren't you worried that people from Black Fire Company will attack there again and my sister will be in danger?" Bai Jing's tone was reproachful. Jiang Hao was at home, but her sister was in a very dangerous place. She felt that Ning Tao's bowl of water was unfair.
Ning Tao said: "Their purpose is to find the recipe for Zu Dan. They should not attack the Sunshine Orphanage again. Qing Zhui will not be in danger there. If I want to go there, it will only take a few seconds. I can support her at any time." ”
Bai Jing relaxed a little, but still glared at Ning Tao and muttered: "Partiality."
Jiang Hao didn't care, she said: "A Tao, those young people from society have been arrested. They confessed that Lin Qinghua gave them money and deliberately let them cause trouble. In my opinion, Lin Qinghua had already He planned everything and played a trick with us to divert the tiger away from the mountain. "
"He is a very smart opponent, and Ge Ming is in his hands now." Ning Tao said in a heavy tone, "Qing and I traced Ge Ming's scent and found that he got into a fight not far from the orphanage. The plane was probably a helicopter. It was impossible for that helicopter to fly to Beidu. I guess Lin Qinghua left Beidu after leaving the restaurant, and he would rush to meet the people who took Ge Ming away. "
Yin Molan said: "That guy must have used your friend as a hostage, and then blackmailed you into exchanging the pill recipe with him, right?"
Ning Tao nodded.
Yin Molan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "Damn it, it's a shame for us cultivators to play such dirty tricks! That kid had better not be touched by me, or I will chop him into pieces. Feed the dog!"
Bai Jing said: "Brother-in-law, do you want to give the pill recipe to that boy?"
Ning Tao said: "I cultivate the way of heaven, and there is no compromise in the way of heaven. If I give the prescription to Lin Qinghua, it will be equivalent to giving it to Nicolas Conde and the Black Fire Company, and more people will die."
Jiang Hao asked: "What should we do now?"
Ning Tao thought for a moment before saying: "Lin Qinghua asked me to wait for his call, and I will prepare a fake prescription for him. I guess he will let me go alone, as long as he gives me the time and place , I will take the fake prescription to save people."
"No, I don't allow you to go, it's too dangerous." Jiang Hao was the first to disagree.
Ning Tao said: "Ge Ming is my childhood friend, I must save him."
Bai Jing said: "That Lin Qinghua is so cunning, wouldn't he have expected that you would use the fake prescription to replace him? I estimate that a dragnet has been set up where you met him. Have you ever thought about it? How dangerous would it be to go? Didn't the woman from Tang Clan say that Nicholas Conde might even come to China in person this time? Are you sure you can beat him?" At this point, she gave Ning Tao a hard look. "Tell me, do you sincerely want to make my sister a widow?"
Ning Tao smiled bitterly. Although Bai Jing's words didn't sound nice, he knew that she really cared about him.
"Woof woof woof..." The barking of the barking dog came from the door.
Ning Tao turned around and saw two people coming outside the gate.
A white-haired blind man and a graceful young girl. The blind man held an erhu in his hand, and the girl held a flute in her hand.
The tree wants to be still but the wind doesn't stop.
Sun Pingchuan and Sun Lanxiang actually found this place on this eventful night.
Yin Molan said in a deep voice: "Old Sun, do you still dare to come here? Do you think I am forgetful and can't remember what you did to me? We didn't have enough fighting that day, how about another fight!"
As soon as the sound fell, the Xiuchundao came out of the body with a clang. Snowflakes fell in the courtyard, but there was no snow on the blade of the Xiuchundao.
Sun Lanxiang's flute stood up, and in an instant, air currents swirled around her body carrying snowflakes. The scene is just like the ancient music queen coming through the sky, giving people a soul-shaking beauty.
Sun Pingchuan said calmly: "Xiang'er, what did I tell you before I came here, have you forgotten?"
Sun Lanxiang put away the flute, and the energy swirling around her disappeared.
Ning Tao also said: "Senior Yin, please wait."
Yin Molan nodded and returned the knife to its sheath.
At this time, Sun Pingchuan spoke up and said: "Doctor Ning, this is the second time we have met. You are indeed a dragon among men, a genius that is rare to see in a thousand years."
In this case, it really makes people wonder whether he is a blind man.
Ning Tao sneered: "You didn't come here just to say nice things to me, did you? If you have something to say, do it if you want to."
Sun Pingchuan shook his head: "You are wrong to say that. I am not here to fight with you, I am here to help."
Ning Tao said in surprise: "Help?"
Bai Jing and Jiang Hao couldn't help but look at each other. They felt the same as Ning Tao, surprised and strange. No matter from which angle you look at it, Chuangshi Biotech is the enemy. The father and grandson are the top killers of Chuangshi Biotech. How could they come to help
Sun Pingchuan said: "I know what you are thinking, but there is a saying you should have heard, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. People from the West come to China to make trouble and steal things. Xiang'er and I are both people with general knowledge. . We can put aside the feud between us for the time being and be consistent with each other. What do you think, Dr. Ning?"
Ning Tao was silent for a moment before saying, "What conditions do you have?"
Sun Pingchuan said: "We have no conditions, just drive them away."
Ning Tao couldn't help but glance at Jiang Hao and Bai Jing. Women are attentive, and neither Bai Jing nor Jiang Hao are ordinary women. He wanted to ask for their opinions.
But this time Bai Jing and Jiang Hao had no idea.
Sun Lanxiang frowned: "Doctor Ning, we are here to help with good intentions, but this is how you treat guests? Let me and grandpa stand in the snow to talk to you?"
"Xiang'er." Sun Pingchuan said.
Sun Lanxiang closed her mouth again.
Sun Pingchuan added: "Dr. Ning, I know you don't believe us, but what I want to tell you is that our purpose is the same in this matter. If you give that thing to people in the West, it will be harder for us to snatch it." Come back, right? So you can trust us."
This is not a pleasant thing to say, but it makes sense. If the recipe for Xun Zu Dan falls into the hands of Western cultivators, the chances of the cultivators behind Chuangshi Technology Company taking it back is almost zero.
Sun Pingchuan and Sun Lanxiang suddenly came to help. To put it bluntly, they wanted to prevent him from handing over the alchemy formula to Western cultivation forces. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, which is a refreshing way of saying it. It's much easier to unite with weak enemies to take out powerful enemies, and then take out the weak enemies. This is the real reason.
Ning Tao understood in his heart, but his face remained calm: "I have something on my mind, so I'm neglecting you. Please come in."
Roaring Sky Dog got out of the way.
Sun Lanxiang helped Sun Pingchuan up the steps and entered the door.
Ning Tao led people into the living room.
Jiang Hao went to make tea. Qing Zhui was not at home. She was the mistress of the house, so it was natural for her to do this kind of thing.
Ning Tao got straight to the point: "Senior Sun, you said you would come to help, and I am happy for you to come to help, but what can you do for me?"
Sun Pingchuan said: "Xiang'er, take out the things."
Sun Lanxiang took out a squarely folded piece of paper from her belt, placed it on the coffee table, and carefully pushed it in front of Ning Tao.
Ning Tao picked up the note, opened it and took a look.
The note read: Holy Mountain.
"What do you mean?" Ning Tao asked.
Sun Lanxiang said: "According to our intelligence, your friend Lin Qinghua chartered a private plane the day before yesterday, and the destination is Western Province. Our analysis shows that the place where he wants to trade with you is in the Holy Mountain."
Zhu Hongyu was killed on the Holy Mountain, and her skull fragments will return to the Holy Mountain hundreds of years later. This is like a reincarnation. She has passed away, but the secret of finding the ancestral pill is still hidden in the mist, attracting people to chase.
"How did you know about this?" Ning Tao stared at Sun Lanxiang, observing her eyes.
Sun Lanxiang met Ning Tao's gaze with no expression on her face: "Of course we have our own channels, so you don't have to worry about this."
"You are here to help, is it the order of Fairy Zetian?" Ning Tao asked again tentatively.
Sun Lanxiang did not answer.
Sun Pingchuan stood up: "Doctor Ning, there is no need to rush to find the answer to some things, because the answer will come out by itself. That's it, see you at the Holy Mountain, Xiang'er, let's go."
Sun Lanxiang got up and left with Sun Pingchuan.
Ning Tao said: "You two go slowly, I won't see you off."
Sun Pingchuan waved his hand.
When Sun Pingchuan and Sun Lanxiang walked out of the door, Jiang Haocai said: "A Tao, do you really believe these two people named Sun?"
Ning Tao shook his head, he didn't believe it at all.
Bai Jing asked: "Then shall we go to the Holy Mountain?"
Ning Tao said: "Go, of course."
