The darkness recedes like a tide, and light pours in, from blur to clarity.
Here is a plum forest, with intricate roots and at least several acres of land at a glance. I don’t know if this Merlin was planted by humans or if it was wild. Now is not the season for plum blossoms to bloom. The green leaves of the plum trees are whirling, but there are no flowers in bloom.
The seasons matched, and so did the location. After observation, Ning Tao determined that this place was the plum forest where Plum Concubine was buried. He still remembered an ancient plum tree, not far from Mei Fei's tomb. Two-thirds of the trunk was rotten, but it was still alive and well. The tree was right in front of him, but it was just a small plum tree as thick as a fist, but the trunk was curved in the same way as the plum tree.
Ning Tao checked his body and found that almost everything from more than a thousand years ago had disappeared, only the Tianbao robe on his body. Without underwear, it feels weird to be in neutral.
"Every time I come, she is near me. Where is she this time?" Ning Tao thought about this question in his mind and subconsciously touched the big sun gourd on his waist.
The Great Sun Gourd contains an elixir-level Ancestral Seeking Pill, and it is the highest quality seventh-grade elixir.
When the elixir is round, he and she are reunited. Now that the elixir is "round", where is she
Suddenly the fragrance of plum blossoms came to my face.
Ning Tao's thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and he was slightly stunned. Where did the fragrance of plum blossoms come from at this time
He followed the scent of plum blossoms and walked forward.
Not far away, a plum tree came into his sight. It grows on a cliff. Its thick roots penetrate into the gaps in the rocks. The curved trunk extends horizontally, and the branches are covered with plum blossoms. The plum blossoms have white petals full of red spots, white like snow and red like blood.
A few meters down the cliff, a clear spring seeped out from a stone crevice, and water accumulated under the cliff to form a pool. The small pool was calm and calm, with plum blossom petals floating on the water.
The scenery here is like an elegant and exquisite painting.
But this scene is not normal at all, because it is hot summer, not the season of plum blossoms at all.
What's even more weird is that all the plum trees around the cliff are bent down, and their crowns are facing the plum tree on the cliff. The scene is like a group of humble untouchables bowing to pay homage to the noble princess.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Ning Tao didn't need to wake up the gazing state of his eyes to know that this plum tree was abnormal. It was not an ordinary plum tree. It had become a spirit.
As soon as I arrived, I saw a plum tree that had become a spirit, but I didn't know where the Nanmen Xunxian I wanted to see was yet. This time the situation is a bit special.
Wow!
A head suddenly appeared in the pool under the cliff. It had a face as beautiful as petals, as well as black and shiny hair and a swan-like snow-white neck. She emerged from the water, tilted her snowy neck back, and her dehydrated hair came out. The wisps flew back, and then followed her head and plunged into the water filled with petals. The calm pool suddenly became filled with excitement. There were ripples.
Say goblin, and the goblin comes.
The goblin comes out of the water and the waves are magnificent.
Ning Tao's eyes were a little straight.
Mei Jing suddenly discovered Ning Tao, and she hid in the water after emerging half of her body. She panicked and said, "Ah! You... who are you?"
Ning Tao shrugged and said calmly: "I am just a passerby."
He awakened the gazing state of his eyes, which was a bit surprising. The demonic aura on this Mei Jing's body was very strong. She must have practiced Taoism for hundreds of years, but she did not have the evil aura or bad aura of a demon. Instead, she had a kind of evil aura that made people feel... Very comfortable aura, elegant and gentle.
Born to be a monster
Ning Tao was a little surprised. A good monster like Qing Zhui would kill people at every turn. But he couldn't see any murderous intent in this Mei Jing, and he couldn't sense that she had any harmful intentions.
"You...turn around." Mei Jing said.
Ning Tao turned around. When someone came out of the water, he didn't see the same thing. But in his heart, he really wanted to watch her emerge from the water and satisfy his curiosity, such as whether she would bloom
There was the sound of water and the sound of getting dressed behind me.
A cold air suddenly hit my back, hitting the vital points of my vest.
Ning Tao said: "You and I have no grievances, are you sure you want to take action?"
The cold air suddenly stopped.
"A monster like you has probably never harmed anyone before. You are not professional at all." Ning Tao said, suddenly turning around.
Mei Jing was standing in front of him, holding a wooden hairpin in her hand. The wooden hairpin was made of plum wood and was completely green, giving people a fresh feeling. It's definitely unusual and should be some part of the plum tree on the cliff.
She already had a long white dress on her body, which was snow-white and dust-free. Because she had just climbed out of the water, the water wet the fabric. The fabric was close to her skin, exquisite and embossed, hazy.
Ning Tao's curiosity was finally satisfied, but her body did not bloom.
"You...who are you?" Mei Jing was very nervous, and her wrist holding the wooden hairpin was shaking.
Ning Tao said calmly: "I'm just a passerby. You don't need to know who I am. Say goodbye."
He turned and left.
He came to Nanmen to seek immortality, and he came to kill Lin Qinghua. He just met Mei Jing by chance, and he didn't want to create any complications.
He wanted to leave, but as soon as he took a step, the wind blew around him, and the white shadow flickered, and the plum essence came around to him again, pointing the wooden hairpin at him.
He was speechless: "I've made it very clear, I'm just passing by, what do you want to do?"
Mei Jing seemed a little nervous and pretended to be fierce: "Can you leave if you want? Tell me, are you the Taoist sent by that bitch Yang Yuhuan?"
Ning Tao was slightly stunned. What is going on
She asked again: "You were sent by Yang Yuhuan to monitor me, right?"
Ning Tao asked back: "Who are you?"
She was also stunned for a moment: "You... weren't you sent by that bitch?"
Ning Tao said: "I am a cultivator of immortality, walking in the world, who can send me to do things? I will not... Master, girl, who are you?"
He originally wanted to give his name as "Buri Xingjun", but when he was about to say it, he suddenly thought that he was here to kill Lin Qinghua this time. If he got wind of it, the guy might hide, which would not be nice. , so he cleverly changed it to "Bu Ri Zhenren".
However, as soon as the casually changed name of Xiu Zhen came out, he suddenly felt embarrassed in his heart.
Not long ago...
She looked straight at him, her eyes seemed to want to penetrate his heart. It took several seconds before she said a word: "Isn't it true?"
Ning Tao endured the embarrassment and nodded.
"If you swear not to tell anyone what happened today, I will let you go." She said, obviously not intending to tell Ning Tao who she was.
Ning Tao frowned slightly: "Are you serious?"
She waved her wooden hairpin at Ning Tao, glaring her eyes and grinning, as if she wanted to bite someone fiercely: "If you don't swear, I will kill you and silence you."
Ning Tao couldn't help laughing: "I don't even know who you are, why should I swear? Who are you?"
She suddenly thrust the wooden thorn in her hand into Ning Tao's chest.
Rabbits will bite when cornered, let alone goblins
Ning Tao smiled bitterly, put his feet on the ground a little, and jumped back. The moment his feet left the ground, he waved his right hand, and the gun shot out of his flesh, hitting the ravine between the two beautiful mountains, barely missing it.
Mei Jing originally wanted to chase him, but he was subdued in the blink of an eye, with a look of horror on his face.
Ning Tao said: "Tell me who you are, or I will kill you!"
Since she is unreasonable, there is no need for him to be polite to her.
"I..." She hesitated before speaking.
Ning Tao's heart moved, and he compressed the Nascent Soul and instantly moved it to the Seal of Spiritual Power and Destiny at his belly button. At that moment, his ability to sense everything in the world entered an extraordinary state.
A second later, he "heard" her voice: Should I tell him that I was Concubine Mei, the concubine of Xuanzong? If I don't tell him, will he really kill me? I said, will he reveal the secret that my natal tree is here? It's really abominable. How could this bad guy force me, a woman, like this
This is her voice.
Ning Tao was speechless. Are all women so unreasonable? It was obvious that he was leaving, but she came to force him to swear. After being subdued, she complained that he was too cruel.
However, this feeling of speechlessness was fleeting and was replaced by surprise and confusion. He used Concubine Mei's tomb as the coordinates to come to this past time and space, this place, but he did not expect that Concubine Mei was recorded in history as a plum spirit. So whose body was in the coffin
I didn't have time to take a closer look at the corpse, but it was probably just a normal female corpse. Could there be any secret hidden under the sarcophagus? No one has robbed that tomb for more than a thousand years. Although the lack of a monument is one of the reasons, it is still a bit reluctant. He thought that he would check it carefully when he returned. Not for anything else, just for the curiosity of the moment.
"My name is Jiang Mei, and this plum tree is my natal tree. I have no choice but to place it here," she said.
Ning Tao knew her true identity, so he naturally knew that she was using a false name, but he was too lazy to point it out. He received the shot in the flesh, and then said: "I never swear easily, but I can promise you that I will not reveal everything I saw here. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave."
He walked past Jiang Caiping and walked towards Plum Village.
He didn't meet Nanmen Xunxian, but he believed that she was nearby, maybe in Plum Village more than a thousand years ago. She has waited for him for thousands of lives, what will she be like in this life
"Master Bu Ri." Jiang Caiping's voice came.
Ning Tao stopped and turned to look at her: "What else do you want?"
The sun shines slantingly, and the wet clothes stick to the skin, giving it a unique and transparent beauty, with dots of bright red, one point, two points, and three points.
"Are you still here?" Jiang Caiping asked.
Why is she asking this
Ning Tao didn't think much, he shook his head: "No."
After saying that, he turned around and left, never looking back.
Jiang Caiping looked at the direction Ning Tao left and didn't move for a long time.
Not long ago...
What a weirdo!
