At night, the night finally seemed to be unable to support the precipitation of winter, and finally white snowflakes floated in the sky.
The carriage waiting at the gate of Baiyangdong Mountain was originally wrapped in black cotton cloth, but it was slowly being dyed white at this moment.
Ding Ning walked out from the gate of Baiyang Cave.
He didn't open an umbrella. After walking to the front of the car and bowing to Jing Mozong, who was still wearing a gray robe, he patted his clothes, scratched his hair, and removed the snow dust accumulated on his body before opening the umbrella. The thick quilted black cloth curtain entered the compartment.
"You are really hypocritical."
Looking at Wang Taixu who was wearing a fox fur jacket, like he had piled himself in a pile of fox fur, Ding Ning couldn't help but said.
"Probably after this winter, it won't be so empty until next spring." Wang Taixu smiled slightly, this smile made him look like a cunning old fox, "Why do you want to see me today?"
Jing Mozong outside the carriage had already started driving, and the carriage was slightly bumpy.
Ding Ning pulled out a cushion to lean on, and said, "I heard that something big has happened in Changling City these days."
"You said it was Bai Shanshui?" Wang Taixu glanced at him, nodded and said, "You probably only found out today that the city of Changling has been turned upside down. The officials in Changling City were dismissed from their posts and exiled. Especially when Bai Shanshui was fighting and singing, the lyrics he sang were too presumptuous, and he managed to escape, it is estimated that the disturbance will expand."
Ding Ning pondered: "Bai Shanshui made a move, but there is no one around who can prevent him from escaping Changling... Do you know what's going on?"
Wang Taixu said: "It was the Changling Guard who tracked down some stolen items from the imperial tomb, and finally forced out Fan Zhuo and Bai Shanshui. At that time, Fan Zhuo was in the caravan under investigation, so he must have been unable to hide his identity as a powerful practitioner. That's why they acted brazenly, leading to Bai Shanshui. It's just that the Changling Guards surrounded the caravan at first, so by coincidence, there may be some secrets that we can't know."
Ding Ning frowned slightly, and said: "It should be that someone in Changling wanted to scare Bai Shanshui away on purpose, but I heard that Bai Shanshui rushed all the way from the Jiujiang County Guild Hall and escaped by the Weihe River. This kind of cultivation should be much stronger than Zhao Zhan's." .”
Wang Taixu smiled slightly, and said: "Bai Shanshui is a person who is as famous as Mr. Zhao Si, you want to see me today, it should not be because you want to discuss with me about Bai Shanshui's cultivation?"
Ding Ning glanced at him and said, "What have you been doing lately?"
Wang Taixu's expression became serious, and he said seriously: "Actually, I really want to hear your opinion on what I have done recently. After all, others don't know, but I know very well that the reason why I was able to work with Jinlin Tang survived the battle because of your scheme."
"Xue Wangxu told you before when he brought you into the Baiyang Cave that it is impossible for more people to pay for the lives of your brothers. I don't think you will do such a stupid thing." Ding Ning Looking at him, he said: "If it were me, I would definitely take this time to blackmail the military and take advantage of the opportunity to get more benefits. Especially at this moment because of the Bai Shanshui incident, the Queen and the two phases are furious, and the military must You want to calm things down and don’t dare to do anything outrageous. Especially after you have gone through the assassination last time and are prepared this time, they should also understand that even if they kill you, many of their things will be destroyed immediately. Shaked out by some of your men."
"I really admire you. I feel more and more that even those legendary monsters can overwhelm you in terms of cultivation speed, but it is impossible for them to have such a vision that you can directly push through the clouds." Wang Taixu said with emotion Looking at Ding Ning, "I have already caused Bing Masi a lot of headaches, and I proposed to do the business of unpacking and mining."
"The lion is right to open his mouth."
Ding Ning was silent for a moment, "But you didn't choose to leave Changling, but you chose to go up a higher building, which means that you still want to fight the powerful person who killed your brother in the end."
"The person who dared to control Jinlin Tang to do those things, and was able to mobilize so many practitioners to kill me that night, should be either a general or a prince." Wang Taixu coughed softly, "Of course I can't do it now. I can move such a person, but my brothers are really my brothers and sisters. Even if I am willing to cut off my hands and feet to replace them, it is impossible for them to come back alive. I hope that one day in the future, I can also Let the person who killed my brother pay the price he deserves."
"Since you have already done this, I would like to ask you to do something." Ding Ning lowered his head and said softly.
This is undoubtedly not in line with Ding Ning's attitude at the beginning.
Because from the very beginning, Ding Ning didn't want to get too entangled with the two floors. And this matter should be very important to Ding Ning, otherwise he wouldn't say it so solemnly.
So Wang Taixu was a little strange, "What happened?"
Ding Ning said slowly: "At the final stage of your negotiation with Bing Ma Si, see if you can win some business related to the prison."
Wang Taixu was slightly taken aback: "Business related to prisons?"
Ding Ning nodded: "It's best to be able to go in and out of the prison, and get in touch with the people in charge of the prison for a very familiar business."
Wang Taixu glanced at him and said, "I will do my best."
Ding Ning frowned slightly: "You don't think my request is very strange, you don't want to ask me why?"
"If you can refine Qi for a month, and you can finally win in a competition like the sword sacrifice trial, you must be a person who will do great things in the future." Wang Taixu laughed: "Since we are all people who do great things, no matter Nothing strange."
…
The snow-covered carriage went through the back alley and stopped outside the door of Wutong Luowuming Wine Shop.
Ding Ning got off the carriage, waved goodbye to Jing Mozong and Wang Taixu.
Pushing open the half-hidden door, Changsun Qianxue waited for him with a small oil lamp as usual. The food on the table should have just come out of the steamer, still steaming.
Ding Ning saw that Changsun Qianxue had changed into a new jacket. Although it was the most common style in the streets and alleys, some of the most common floral patterns seemed to become particularly vivid and bright on her clothes.
So when he sat down, he couldn't help but said: "Other people rely on clothes to look good, but you make clothes look good."
Changsun Qianxue didn't care about his words at all, and said coldly: "Why did you come back in Wang Taixu's carriage again?"
As Ding Ning started eating, he said, "Because I need his help with something."
Changsun Qianxue didn't ask any further questions, this was a natural agreement between her and Ding Ning over the years.
"Did you really win the sword sacrifice test?" Seeing Ding Ning eating sweetly, it was rare for her, or something she had never done before, took a piece of sweet rice cake and ate it slowly, and at the same time asked calmly.
Ding Ning gave a light grace, and immediately took out a square wooden box from his sleeve, and handed it to the eldest grandson Qianxue.
The eldest grandson Qianxue didn't need to look at it, she knew that what was in the square wooden box was the green fat jade amber which was very important to her.
She didn't pick up the square wooden box immediately, but looked at Ding Ning and said slowly, "Thank you."
Ding Ning said casually, "There is no need to thank you and me."
Changsun Qianxue said coldly: "This time is different from before... You should understand that after passing through the pass last time and adding this green jade amber, my sword will be stabilized, and it will not treat you too much in the future." Special dependence. If it were me, I might not give you this green fat jade."
"It doesn't matter." Ding Ning raised his head, licked the corner of his lips and looked at her, and said, "Because I didn't want to rely on you to do anything these years."
The eldest grandson Qianxue frowned.
In these years, she seldom thinks about other aspects except for practice, but she is not stupid, so she quickly thought that although she does have strong power compared with ordinary practitioners, Ding Ning It really didn't depend on her to do anything. She didn't even make a move to protect him.
Ding Ning didn't say anything for a moment.
"You sleep alone tonight."
The eldest grandson Qianxue didn't say anything more for no reason, picked up the square wooden box and walked to the backyard, "I owe you a favor."
Ding Ning smiled bitterly.
…
When walking through the backyard into the bedroom, pieces of snowflakes fell on Changsun Qianxue's flawless face. Feeling the coldness of these snowflakes, Changsun Qianxue felt more and more that the grievances of Changling were too complicated.
She stopped thinking about anything, got rid of the chaotic thoughts from her body, and turned her sea of consciousness into a blank sheet of paper again.
As in the previous practice, she lay down on the bed with her clothes on.
The green fat jade amber in the square wooden box exudes an extremely soft halo, and at the same time flows a refreshing faint fragrance.
A wisp of true essence leaked out from her fingertips, instantly crushing the green fat jade amber, and all the powder, along with her breath, entered her belly.
When her divine sense sank into the sea of air and touched the faint blue sword in the Jade Palace, the sword once again became irritable and agitated like a giant dragon imprisoned, exuding an extremely fierce aura, as if it was going to be strong. The line pierced through her jade palace, and then rushed out of her body from the split sea of qi.
However, strands of light blue vitality continuously surged from her body and sank into the sea of energy.
These light blue vitality exuding a soft halo, continuously merged into the Jade Palace, and merged into the dark blue murderous sword.
The blue fierce sword gradually became peaceful, and began to truly accept the breath of her jade palace.
Her divine sense began to slowly merge with the sword.
In the darkness, a faint blue flame flashed between her eyebrows, exactly like a small blue sword.
