Ning Mingmei finds himself transmigrated into a dark-themed cultivation novel, taking on the role of the unfortunate ‘cold and aloof master’ destined to be killed by his disciple, the male prot...
Chapter 56 You want me to wear this? !
"call--"
A cold wind blew through the hall, lifting a corner of the window screen and causing the candlelight to flicker.
One page, two pages, three pages... Ning Mingmei simply counted.
There were more than fifty or sixty pages torn off.
There are also signs of tearing on the first page today. It's just that the person who destroyed the book seemed to change his mind before tearing it up.
The paper was torn in half from the spine and was shaking, but the half-fallen leaf finally remained on the tree trunk.
"In the third year of Tianlang, I found the Glazed Treasure Lamp in the Fangcun Mountains."
It is still the rounded and neat Hengshui style.
"The name of the magic weapon: the All-Seeing Divine Lamp."
“The Wanxiang lamp consists of a lamp head (lotus-shaped), a lamp holder (lotus leaf, vine, easy to hold), and a wick.”
"Color: Crystal clear."
"Wick preparation: The Five Elements give birth to all things. Use the gold of gold, the wood of wood, the water of water, the fire of fire, and the earth of earth to make the wick with the lotus seeds that can reach the sky."
"Gold among gold: Ancient dragon's reverse scale, demon world."
"Wood among trees: Tongtian vine, fairyland."
"Water in the water: Oblivion River Ice Soul, Ghost Realm."
"Fire in Fire: Strange Fire Red Lotus, Human World."
"Earth within earth: Xirang, the demon world."
"The Lotus Flower Reaching the Sky: Buddhism."
"All five materials can be used as wicks individually."
“But the effect is limited, and the material will be consumed.”
"By combining the five ingredients and refining them with the Heaven-reaching Lotus Seeds, you can obtain a true, everlasting wick."
"Then the divine weapon will be completed."
The word "artifact" was circled in a big red circle with a red pen, and two small exclamation marks were drawn next to it.
Ning Mingmei did not laugh at this familiar habit of annotation.
He looked at the lower part of the page.
The owner of the notebook sketched the appearance of the artifact with charcoal.
Although it was crooked, it was obvious that it looked exactly like the lamp that Ning Mingmei got from the powerful man in the secret cave of rebirth.
Ning Mingmei continued to flip backwards.
The booklet spends a lot of space describing this magic lamp. Including its effects, methods, functions, wick preparation, etc. It can be said to be very practical.
Through the notes, Ning Mingmei could almost see how the owner of the notes supplemented the content stroke by stroke during his travels.
Coincidentally, based on the proportion of the contents in the booklet, Ning Mingmei saw that the owner of the booklet, like him, first obtained the Tongtian Vine among the five necessary wick raw materials (here the Jietian Lotus is more like the solvent in a chemical reaction).
Moreover, she used a method to nourish the Tongtian Vine so that it could coexist with it and thus obtain enough spiritual energy to live forever.
That thing is one of the ten sacred trees in ancient times.
"The ten great sacred trees of ancient times: peach, ginseng fruit, yellow plum, hollow willow, bitter bamboo, chaos gourd vine, Zhongnan fairy apricot, hibiscus wood, bodhi, and laurel. In addition, the blue lotus of creation is also acceptable."
"Plant the Tongtian wood next to these eleven top-grade sacred trees and nourish it with the spiritual energy of the sacred trees. In time, it can be revived to Tongtian."
Later, it can be seen that the note writer made the original wick out of bael wood. After that, she also obtained Xirang from the demon world.
Ning Mingmei flipped through the pages one by one. On the last page of this section, she wrote in her beautiful handwriting: "In addition to the wick, there is another thing that can be used as lamp oil to light the magic lamp."
The next five pages after that were torn out again.
The torn marks on the five pages of paper look like sharp white teeth. All that is left for the magic lamp is the last page after the teeth.
It was written in deep black ink.
"The divine lamp shines brightly, illuminating my chaos. It soars to the sky and opens the gates of heaven."
"All things come together."
It is clearly the same beautiful Hengshui style handwriting as before. But this page gives people a chilling feeling.
Ning Mingmei stared at the strokes of the characters, which looked like long, hanging feet.
The candlelight swayed, and those slender, black pointed feet seemed to be swaying as well. Ning Mingmei looked at it, and it was as if someone was also in front of the book, and he sighed softly.
Next one.
Next one. Next one.
These are all blank. This is normal. When notes on several subjects are taken simultaneously in the same notebook and one is unsure how many pages to leave for each subject, the note-taker will always leave more pages for each subject than is actually needed.
To supplement subsequent content.
Finally, the next topic appeared in the booklet. It’s still the same beautiful handwriting and beautiful title.
"A basic technique that is common to all spiritual roots."
"Not only those with single, double, or triple spiritual roots... people with five spiritual roots or mixed spiritual roots can also use this technique to strengthen their bodies and protect themselves."
…
"Just like the world I come from, there are always some people who are born with weaker physical strength than others. But they should not be harmed. There needs to be something in this world that everyone can practice and defend themselves against."
"Monks, commoners, furnaces, children, and the elderly."
…
"In addition to humans, half-humans, demons, ghosts, and monsters...if they also want to stand with us, they can also practice this basic technique."
…
"No question about the technique."
"No matter who the visitor is, no matter their race or purpose... it is a fair practice."
I believe that skills and skills, and people and people, are not lonely drops of water.
Drop by drop, water flows into hundreds of rivers.
A good practice is like a sea that can accommodate all rivers.
This is the Wuwen technique.
Ning Mingmei quickly scanned it and looked at the four words.
"So this is the evil skill that the evil concubine who was regarded as a snake and scorpion and brought disaster to the country practiced hundreds of years ago."
The evil concubine lived during the Qinghe period, a thousand years apart from the Tianlang period.
As everyone knows, the Demon Concubine practices the long-banned magic that was passed down from Spark Island a thousand years ago.
The gooseneck flask revived by Gui Ruoxue is also an "evil creation" of Spark Island.
That is to say.
The author of this booklet, the high school girl who writes in Hengshui style, might be the founder of the heinous Spark Island as rumored.
The wind blew across the candlelight again, and Ning Mingmei turned to the next page.
"The basic skills lead to a high chance of going astray and becoming possessed."
“Why are there sequelae?”
"Why why why?"
…
"Master Ning Feng!" Early the next morning, Luo Xiao came to Ning Mingmei, "Wang Cheng and Li Yao's poison has been resolved!"
Ning Mingmei said: "Okay, I'll take a look."
He followed Luo Xiao into their room. The two disciples lay on the bed, their faces still pale, but they no longer spoke witty words.
Seeing Ning Mingmei coming, they thanked him repeatedly.
After expressing their thanks, the two of them fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion. Ye Ling took care of them, and Luo Xiao followed them out and thanked Ning Mingmei again.
This time, besides being convinced, I was also very grateful.
Ning Mingmei: "No need."
Luo Xiao said: "Peak Master Ning is the first person I have ever seen who would personally take action for disciples from different sects and peaks in the same sect."
Ning Mingmei: "Really?"
Luo Xiao's eyes were moist: "Yes. Ye Ling also told me quietly yesterday that as long as I follow Master Ning Feng, I will feel very safe."
Ning Mingmei pushed his glasses and glanced at the pile of cops within a radius of fifty miles that they had not yet finished dealing with: "Really? You will be safer soon."
Needless to say, the four disciples of Piaomiao Peak were like dead people in their studies. Ning Mingmei looked at the two disciples from Yuting Peak who were on patrol and felt that they seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Especially Jiang Yu. She looked at Ning Mingmei for a while, and then looked at Ning Mingmei again, which really affected Ning Mingmei's plan.
Ning Mingmei then called her over and gave her and He Zheng a note. He said, "Go two miles away and kill the demon in the well."
Jiang Yu was very excited, but He Zheng said with a bitter face: "Master Ning Feng, are we going now?"
Ning Mingmei: "This is part of the plan."
The plan was to send them packing.
After sending him away, Ning Mingmei was finally able to enter Gui Ruoxue's cell freely. The long-haired beauty had expected him to come, and when she saw him, her eyes were still sparkling with surprise.
Ning Mingmei untied his mute collar. He immediately said: "Ning Mingmei, I..."
Ning Mingmei: "Did you watch yesterday's video carefully? Now let me give you a slap on the back."
Gui Ruoxue: ...
This means that you have to answer questions before speaking to restore your sunshine credit points, right?
Ning Mingmei randomly selected thirty questions. Gui Ruoxue looked ashamed at first, but soon she answered fluently.
As expected of a postdoctoral fellow, he has a strong learning ability. Ning Mingmei nodded, which was rare: "Very good answer."
Gui Ruoxue is proud.
Wait, what are you proud of? Is it time to ask those questions that are stuck in your mind?
Ning Mingmei: "So I'll give you another thirty questions as a reward."
Gui Ruoxue: ...
Thirty additional questions were answered. Gui Ruoxue's face turned pale and she became Gui Ruoyao. Ning Mingmei saw that he looked nauseous and said, "Your academic enthusiasm is not enough!"
Gui Ruoxue: "The question you asked later did not appear in the video."
Besides, you ask a medicine cultivator so many questions about sword cultivators, how can I answer them?
Ning Mingmei: "How can my requirements for you be the same as those for Wen Siheng and the others? Xiaogui, you have been through two world-class sects and have hundreds of years of work experience. If I ask the same of you as I do of these Foundation Establishment disciples, I would be looking down on you."
There is something vaguely dizzying about these words.
Ning Mingmei: "Moreover, as a person in the Spiritualization Stage, you should learn from this and make innovation your core competitiveness."
It seems to make some sense.
Ning Mingmei: "And I see that you made the Seven Emotions Powder, so you are quite capable. Therefore, I decided to let you do more work in various aspects, and strive to bring out your potential in all aspects."
Why does this sound so touching? It's just a bit tiring, like driving someone to hang themselves.
After being praised like this, Gui Ruoxue forgot about Ning Mingmei’s multiple writer’s block problems yesterday. He stared at Ning Mingmei and finally uttered a few words.
Ning Mingmei: "Hmm?"
Gui Ruoxue: "Antidote for the Seven Emotions Powder."
Ning Mingmei looked down at him, his glasses bleached by the sunlight. Gui Ruoxue looked at him, sneered, and was about to tell him her next plan...
Ning Mingmei: "Okay, do you have all the materials in your Qiankun bag? I'm going to make the antidote, so you can't use it."
Gui Ruoxue: ...
What antidote are you going to make by yourself? Come back to me! !
What do you mean I'm useless?
Half an hour later, Gui Ruoxue appeared at the foot of the mountain.
The last time I came to the back mountain, I prepared the poison myself. She was as cruel as a snake and as beautiful as a painting.
This time, he was tied up. He watched Ning Mingmei use his own equipment and his own herbs to make medicine.
After Gui Ruoxue's earnest persuasion, Ning Mingmei finally agreed to bring him along, let him watch, and give some advice... Wait a minute? Why was he the one who tried so hard to persuade Ning Mingmei?
Shouldn't Ning Mingmei be the one asking him to help make the antidote?
Thinking of this, Gui Ruoxue's face became a little gloomy. And Ning Mingmei was sitting in front of him, using his experimental equipment and playing with his medicinal herbs...
Well……
Those are all his things!
Gui Ruoxue: "Be gentle."
Gui Ruoxue: "Cut! Don't cut over there! Follow the vein - ugh! You wasted a whisker!"
Gui Ruoxue: "Ugh! That thing is useless, don't touch it! It's troublesome to clean it!"
Ning Mingmei understood this very well. No senior student likes their junior students to tamper with their pipettes and other equipment, not adjust them back to their original settings, and put them somewhere else.
But Ning Mingmei said: "I am very professional, you can see that."
Gui Ruoxue was almost choked to death by these words.
Ning Mingmei said to the system: "This Gui Ruoxue is too meticulous. She even explained the folding method of filter paper three times. It's obvious that she is suitable to work for me."
system:……
This medicine concerns the life and death of the male protagonist, so it's better for it to shut up.
To be fair, Ning Mingmei's method was indeed beyond Gui Ruoxue's expectations.
It is difficult for ordinary people to tell at a glance what those dazzling instruments are used for, but Ning Mingmei can not only tell them clearly, but also, as long as Gui Ruoxue says something, he knows exactly how to use it. The green powder quickly took shape in the crucible, and Gui Ruoxue stared at Ning Mingmei's slender hands.
The fingers are steady.
The whole process was smooth and natural without any hesitation or panic.
Only extremely calm and confident people can do this.
"I only said it once, but you really did it." Gui Ruoxue said.
Ning Mingmei: "Yes. Once I finish searching your soul, you can leave."
You are worthless, Gui Ruoxue.
Gui Ruoxue:! !
The sunlight was dazzling, and Ning Mingmei's condescending face was extremely cold. Gui Ruoxue gritted her teeth and finally spoke first.
He said: "Ning Ming Mei..."
…
That evening, the disciples received a notice from Ning Mingmei.
Ning Mingmei: "Rest for another day, then set off."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the disciples celebrated and were encouraged - they had been in Wangyue Town for so long that they were already tired.
Ning Mingmei also cordially greeted the two disciples who had just recovered: "Although you have missed the practice these few days, you don't have to worry. The day after tomorrow, I will take you out for rehabilitation."
Both disciples had tears of emotion in their eyes.
Ning Mingmei walked towards Yanliu Cottage in this joyous atmosphere. The small building was cold and quiet, with only Lian Chengyue lying there alone.
The bloody pale face reflected in the moonlight looked a little exhausted.
He still frowned, as if he was having a nightmare from which he couldn't wake up.
System: "You treat him..."
Be gentle.
Before he could finish his words, he saw Ning Mingmei, who was sitting beside the bed, pick up the little boy's neck, pinch his chin like a duck, and pour all the medicine powder into him.
Even though he was unconscious, the little boy coughed a few times and instinctively revealed a vicious, puppy-like expression.
Then he was held down by the hard-hearted Ning Mingmei and continued to fall.
"Eat it all, do you want to die?"
Little boy: ...
If the little boy had not been unconscious and unable to speak, and if he had not been a dog, he would have been howling "wooo wooo" by now.
Then he felt aggrieved and angry with tears in his eyes.
system:……
system:…………
“Ah! Ah! Ah!”
Ning Mingmei: "It's okay, he will like this exciting feeling."
By the way, he reached out and gently patted Lian Chengyue on the back.
The powder was indeed effective. In just a moment, Lian Chengyue's originally pale cheeks had a slight hint of redness.
But it will take another month to recover.
The system saw Ning Mingmei staring at Lian Chengyue's cheek, and was afraid that he would shake the other person's head off again - since the original male protagonist would not die, then use him as a sandbag.
But it actually heard Ning Mingmei say: "Isn't this the right way now?"
?
Isn't that right?
"What's going on now?" It followed Ning Mingmei and asked him questions frantically until Ning Mingmei left the cottage.
As soon as I went out the door, I saw Xiaoshui. She stood there with red eyes. Today, when Jiang Yu went out to hunt monsters, he saw Grandma Lao's body at the foot of a hill.
Grandma Lao died in an accident and there is no wronged soul. This is a good thing.
But it also means that Xiaoshui has nothing now - she has no home at all.
Xiao Shui said to Ning Mingmei, "Thank you, Immortal Venerable, for personally feeding the medicine to A Yue."
Ning Mingmei: "No need to thank me."
This way of feeding medicine is indeed worth thanking.
Xiao Shui: "Thank you for taking care of me these days..."
She heard the conversation of those disciples, and two days later, it was time to say goodbye.
Although we will eventually go our separate ways, it is not bad to have such a moment in life.
Ning Mingmei didn't let her continue: "What are you going to do the day after tomorrow?"
Xiao Shui: "Go burn some incense for Grandma."
No matter what happened in the past, she is still one of her "relatives".
Ning Mingmei: "Okay, I'll wait until you finish burning incense before leaving."
?
Xiaoshui was stunned for a moment. Ning Mingmei asked her: "Did you choose the name Xiaoshui yourself?"
The girl said, "No, the mother at the orphanage gave it to me randomly. She said my horoscope lacks water."
Ning Mingmei motioned for her to give him her arm. The girl was puzzled but still offered her arm.
Ning Mingmei said: "The dual spiritual roots of water and wood... are not evenly distributed, with more water spiritual roots and less wood spiritual roots."
But Shuimu sounds like a good name for studying.
Ning Mingmei then asked her: "Do you have a favorite surname?"
Xiaoshui was stunned and shook her head.
What’s your last name?
Xiaoshui has never had this idea.
In her eyes, only those who have a family, a clan, and a place to which they belong can have a surname.
A surname is a way for a lonely person to rely on a clan group to gain a sense of security.
"The sea is wide and the fish can leap for it. The world is vast and I can roam freely. In this case, do you want to have the surname Ren? The Ren that means free and easy, letting things flow." Ning Mingmei said, "Do you like this word? From today on, you belong to your own clan."
The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and I can travel the world as I please.
From now on, I will no longer be afraid of ghosts and gods.
Somehow, Xiaoshui's eyes became a little moist. She whispered, "I like it."
As for the single "water", it is a bit too simple. Finally, Xiaoshui decided on her new name "Miao".
The word "water" still has meaning to her today. She wanted a new name without forgetting her past self.
When the Gao family adopted her, they gave her several names.
Gao Xiaorou. Gao Waner. Gao Jiaoer.
And now, her name is Ren Miao.
From then on, Ren Miao stood in the world.
Ning Mingmei called her: "Ren Miao."
The girl stood up straight.
"Pack up and I'll take you and the child away the day after tomorrow." Ning Mingmei said.
Ren Miao looked at him, with an uncontrollable surprise in his eyes.
…
After finishing everything, Ning Mingmei returned to the room. Now, besides him, there is also Gui Ruoxue in his room.
——Although he was still wearing shackles and handcuffs.
Gui Ruoxue saw him take out a bunch of notes from his Qiankun bag and read them. He sat opposite Ning Mingmei and asked him, "What are you looking at those cops for?"
Ning Mingmei raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
After a while, he pulled a note out of the pile, stared at it for a moment, then stood up and left the room.
And he also tapped Gui Ruoxue on the spot.
Gui Ruoxue: ...
Even though it's still during the recruitment observation period, Ning Mingmei is going a bit too far!
——Yes, it’s the recruitment observation period, Ning Mingmei said so.
Gui Ruoxue couldn't understand why, two months ago, he was experiencing a very ordinary day in his life: going out, traveling, taking away the furnace used to test medicine, and having some minor conflicts with Minghua Valley and Qingyu Altar, that was all.
Then Ming Huagu somehow found out about where he was. Minghua and Anhua fought for him and they became enemies from then on.
When Qingyutan learned that he was seriously injured, they took the opportunity to cause internal strife.
And he only spent the time to get a medicinal bead... and then he began to ask Ning Mingmei to accept him.
After all, on Piaomiao Peak, except for the thicker snow, everything he wanted was there!
——This is what Ning Mingmei said.
Thinking of the endless knowledge, the fascinating research atmosphere, and the potential experimental equipment on Piaomiao Peak, Gui Ruoxue felt a little relieved.
Since Ning Mingmei is so proficient in his instrument, there must be many similar instruments on Piaomiao Peak.
Gui Ruoxue was extremely intelligent and had a sharp eye for people. He was confident that he could see this.
only.
Ning Mingmei was gone for half an hour.
Gui Ruoxue: ...
Being fixed in this position reminded him of bad memories.
After waiting for a long time, Ning Mingmei finally returned from Gao’s warehouse.
Gui Ruoxue looked at Ning Mingmei's sage-like appearance and could never have imagined that in the past half hour, Ning Mingmei had also taken several valuable things from the Gao family's warehouse.
The question is what is necessary to get rid of ghosts.
The system screamed, and Ning Mingmei said, "These things are obviously the dowry of that evil ghost lady."
That evil ghost lady wouldn't want her dowry to remain in Gao's house and be taken away by her murderous enemy, right?
System: "...Having said that, I still find it very strange."
After saying that, he gave Ning Mingmei a strong shock.
never mind.
In addition, half of the treasure that the male protagonist moved to the ruined temple and hid was also taken away by him.
The remaining half, out of respect for the system's screams.
Very good, let the hero watch his friend being taken away, and he was left behind, alone and wandering back to the ruined temple, and then he made a miserable discovery.
Half of my own piggy bank is gone.
Gui Ruoxue could see that the only thing Ning Mingmei had left in his hand was a set of clothes wrapped in a roll of cloth.
"What clothes did you bring back?" he asked after being released from prison.
Ning Mingmei: "Now we have to think of a way to whitewash your identity so that you have a reason to follow us. This is what we use to whitewash your identity."
Gui Ruoxue:?
He couldn't see the clothes clearly, he could only see a little red inside... Then, he saw Ning Mingmei take out a note from all the notes.
Ning Mingmei: "This is the one that I analyzed and is most suitable for you."
Gui Ruoxue watched Ning Mingmei open the roll of clothes.
"You let me wear this?!"
