The red purgatory, the bones smell fragrant.

In the Zhaixing Pavilion, the phoenixes sing and dance, the lights are shining, and the men and women who are having fun will never think that there are two terrifying monsters lurking under the pavilion.

The light of the Xinghen Sword is overflowing, and under the dim long-burning lamp in the room, it is like a layer of hazy moonlight like a veil. The poisonous spiders came rampantly, but they were all cut down by the sword in an instant.

Yinshan Ghost Mother was shocked.

She thought this girl was just showing off, but looking at the way she responded to the enemy, her cultivation has reached the second level of the Golden Core Stage.

If she is still in her prime, it won't be difficult to deal with Ningning. But the bitter battle with Mrs. White Bone consumed 40% of her strength. Even if she tried her best, the two were only 50-50.

Don't be impatient.

She comforted herself in her heart that the moves of the righteous sword cultivators were mostly straightforward. They might have the upper hand in a single fight, but facing the poisonous spiders coming from all directions, they would definitely not fight back

. Suddenly, the Yinshan Ghost Mother stopped moving.

She felt a slap on her face, and the pain made her a little confused.

What kind of swordsmanship did that sword cultivator use? !

The direction of the Star Mark Sword suddenly changed, and the trajectory of the sword was unpredictable. The sword light split into several white shadows, which were like crazy snakes dancing in the air, and unexpectedly stabbed the oncoming poisonous spiders.

The speed of her sword, the fierceness of her sword energy, and her strange and indistinguishable body movements, let alone this monster, even an evil cultivator would probably shout that she looks like a member of the demon sect.

Is this the swordsmanship that the righteous should learn? !

Outside the mysterious mirror, Zhenxiao Sword Master nodded slightly: "Selling pants swordsmanship."

He still remembered the incident when his junior brother sold pants to buy sword manuals.

"It's the Golden Snake Sword Technique! She has only learned it for a few days, but she can use it so skillfully!"

Tian Xianzi ignored him and clapped his hands happily, "Adapting to the situation, not bad. It seems that all the spiders of the Ghost Mother will be eaten by the poisonous snakes."

"Watch patiently." Zhen Xiao still had a faint expression, "The Ghost Mother is moving."

The Yinshan Ghost Mother is not stupid, and naturally understands that she should not have a head-on conflict with Ning Ning at this time. Now that the latter's attention is mostly attracted by the poisonous spider, it is a good time for her to attack from behind unexpectedly.

Demons do not have the hypocritical rules of the righteous path. As long as they can win, they are willing to use all means.

A fleeting smile flashed across the woman's lips, and the eight slender spider legs under her body were ready to go. After a brief preparation, they suddenly exerted force. The Yinshan Ghost Mother's movements were so fast that it was difficult to distinguish them. When Ning Ning noticed a flash of cold wind behind her, she turned around hastily and found that the Ghost Mother was already close to her.

It takes time to switch sword styles. With her cultivation level, it is impossible for her to use another set of sword moves in an instant.

However, although the Golden Snake Sword Technique is unpredictable, the points of force are extremely dispersed, which is suitable for one enemy against many. If she collides head-on with an extraordinary enemy one-on-one, the force will seem too weak.

This battle, she won.

The Yinshan Ghost Mother was determined to win, but unexpectedly, Ning Ning did not show the look of surprise and fear she imagined.

The little girl seemed to have a premonition and raised her eyebrows slightly.

Then the sword in her hand glowed and went straight to the Ghost Mother's head.

The woman's cloudy and dim pupils suddenly shrank.

This sword technique...!

Outside the copper mirror, Tianxianzi stood up excitedly, letting his long gown hit the water cup on the ground: "This... This is a move that has never been recorded in the Golden Snake Sword Technique! Ningning has actually realized a sword technique above the basic sword style!"

Zhenxiao stood with his arms folded and responded rarely: "Not bad."

Before this, his impression of Ningning was just "a smart person". She knows how to judge the situation, thinks quickly, and can defeat the Yinshan Ghost Mother who is far better than herself by scheming and strategy. She is very much in the style of her master Tianxianzi.

But that's all.

As a sword cultivator of good family background, he actually didn't like this roundabout way.

In his opinion, a true sword cultivator should draw his sword and use the most simple and extreme violence to subdue the demons. Even if he can't win, he can always win by having a hearty fight.

But at this moment, the famous Zhenxiao Sword Master frowned and couldn't help but raise his lips.

The skirt of the girl in the mysterious mirror fluttered, raising a soft breeze that was out of tune with the surrounding environment.

In this soft jade fragrance, the Xinghen Sword made a crisp buzzing sound, and the differentiated starlight sword shadows condensed into shape at this moment and gathered into one.

When the spirit snake came out of the cave and the shadows of thousands of snakes gathered together on the sword, the dazzling golden light rose up, and it was like a canglong raising its head.

Tens of thousands of small snakes were not enough to swallow the giant beast.

But the canglong could do it easily.

"This move is called the spirit snake turning into a dragon."

The long sword broke through the layers of spider silk and pierced into the heart of the ghost mother accurately. Ning Ning smiled at her and said, "If I don't practice swordsmanship, the senior brother won't give me food. You have to blame him."

When she first read the original book, the original owner was seriously injured by her poisonous spider. Ning Ning knew that those things were not easy to deal with, so when she learned the golden snake sword technique from her senior brother, she was particularly serious.

As for this last trick, she was very happy after eating roast duck and roast fish, and she realized it in a state of high spirits. The senior brother gave some pointers after that, so that the power can be more concentrated.

This Ning Ning is not strong but too cautious. How could she fall for the second time where the original owner fell?

Yinshan Ghost Mother fell to the ground with disbelief on her face, and gradually lost her breath. A small round emerald green bead slowly floated up from her heart and was grasped by Ning Ning.

Since it is an Easter egg that is rare in a hundred years, there must be a very special reward. This Yinshan Ghost Bead, which condenses the Ghost Mother's cultivation and toxicity, is the trophy of this clearance.

With the fall of the master, the barrier in the underground cave began to shake and could collapse at any time.

Ningning took the beads and rushed out. When she walked into the shaky and narrow passage, she heard a deafening muffled sound behind her -

all the stones on the top of the cave fell to the ground, and the surrounding walls collapsed. The powerless spider silk and the bloodstains on the walls complemented each other, which was indescribably weird.

The passage she was in was also full of dangers. The stones around her fell down one by one like collapsed building blocks without any defense. After a lot of effort, she finally saw the orange light at the entrance, and a familiar black shadow also came into her sight.

Suddenly, a strong wind moved, and a cold sword energy attacked her direction.

——Then there was a loud sound of rocks being blown away and exploding. It turned out that the man repelled a rock that was about to fall on her head.

"Little Senior Sister, are you okay?"

Another white shadow appeared at the entrance of the cave. It was Lin Xun who had not been seen for a while. Seeing Ning Ning was safe and sound, he subconsciously reached out and held her arm, and quickly pulled her out of the tunnel.

After realizing that this action seemed a bit intimate, the small dragon horn on his head couldn't help but flicker quietly, and his ears blushed as he quickly let go of his hand.

Ning Ning didn't notice the light pink color on his dragon horns. She patted her chest in shock and said, "I was scared to death! Thank you, Junior Brother."

She paused and looked at Pei Ji who saved her life, "You too, thank you."

Pei Ji still looked like he was keeping people away from him. His dark eyes were filled with a bit of violence after killing. His voice was a little hoarse, "No need."

He answered coldly, but Ning Ning didn't care, because she had another more important thing in her mind.

If she didn't intervene, according to the original plot, it should be the male protagonist Pei Ji who killed the ghost mother and got the Yinshan Ghost Pearl.

Although the Yinshan Ghost Pearl is highly toxic, it can just restrain the demon blood hidden in Pei Ji's body. He had been deeply corroded by the evil spirit for many years. Not only did he often feel severe pain in his body, but his mind also became particularly cold and cruel. If he had the ghost bead, he would feel much better.

... Not to mention that she took advantage of the plot loophole, and this magic weapon should not be hers.

Ning Ning didn't want the stolen opportunity.

"Why do you look so dead? Do you look down on me? I didn't let you save me for nothing."

Ning Ning snorted coldly, and imitated the original owner's tone very professionally, throwing the emerald green round bead in her arms to him: "The Yinshan Ghost Mother is hiding at the bottom of the building, and I have solved it. If you drop a bead, take it as a thank you gift - I don't want to owe you a life."

After saying that, she couldn't help but applaud herself crazily in her heart. What is the Lei Feng spirit, what is good deeds without leaving a name.

Even if the hero will never understand her painstaking efforts, who made her the successor of socialism? Seeing his pitiful appearance, she should just treat it as raising a son.

After all, the hero suffered too much in the early stage.

Pei Ji was stunned: "I don't need it."

"Just take it if I tell you to. I don't want this broken pearl--Aiya!"

Before Ning Ning finished speaking, she was hit hard on the head.

When she opened her eyes again, the jade buildings in front of her were all gone, and the three of them were actually back to Tian Xianzi's poor little courtyard.

"What kind of broken bead is this? It's called Yinshan Ghost Bead, which condenses the cultivation of Ghost Mother for most of her life, and is considered a top-grade treasure."

Tian Xianzi laughed helplessly: "You girl, I wanted to compliment you on your performance today, but how come you are so ignorant in the end? You deserve to be penniless."

Ning Ning frowned and puffed up her lips.

Master, you are the one who has no right to say this!

"Your uncle Zhenxiao and I have seen everything that happened in the Zhaixing Pavilion."

Tianxianzi said, "Lin Xun is still a little soft-tempered. His sword spirit is born in his heart, so his sword intention is inevitably not that strong. Pei Ji is meticulous and has a natural sword bone. He is a natural sword cultivator, but it's a pity that he has too much murderous intention. Ningning - girl, how did you see the clues in the Zhaixing Pavilion?"

Ningning touched her nose and made up a story: "I sensed that there was a demonic aura underground, but I heard from my brothers and sisters who have been there that there is no basement in the Zhaixing Pavilion. . Recalling the record about chance in "Buddha Secrets", he guessed that it was the Yinshan Ghost Mother. "

Tian Xianzi laughed: "Not bad! You are bold and careful, and you have also realized the variation of the Golden Snake Sword Technique. You are the best today."

He said with his eyes crooked, and put his hand into the other sleeve: "I specially prepared a small gift for you as a reward. Master doesn't have many good things here. I hope Ningning doesn't mind it-take this and go eat anything you want."

Ningning's eyes lit up immediately.

Anything you want to eat! That must be a huge sum of money! No, maybe it's not money, but some kind of super advanced token that changes the weather when it is taken out. The cafeteria aunts called it a unique skill and surrendered to her!

Thank you, Master! Master is the best! There is true love among the poor!

Then Ningning's smile froze on her face.

Tianxianzi chuckled, moved his right hand slightly, and took out a pair of...

a pair of chopsticks from his sleeve.

Ningning: Pupils trembled.

Take the chopsticks and eat what you want.

Perfect logic, you are worthy of it, Master.

After Tianxianzi handed over the chopsticks, he made a few comments and was pulled by Master Uncle to compete in swordplay;

Lin Xun, who was depressed, went back to his room first to figure out the meaning of the sword. After a few rounds, only Ningning and Pei Ji were left in the yard.

Pei Ji planned to return the Yinshan Ghost Pearl to her.

He had never accepted anything from others, and no one was willing to give it to him. Before, Ning Ning thought that this was a useless broken bead, so it was reasonable to throw it to him. Now that the jealous man has revealed it, such a precious thing, she must be secretly regretting her rashness at that time.

The black-shirted boy frowned slightly and spoke in a low voice in an unnatural way: "Senior Sister."

Why did he call her that?

Ning Ning turned around and saw Pei Ji's gloomy black phoenix eyes. Although his eyes were obviously charming, he forcibly dyed them with a bit of sinister coldness, like a wolf staring at her quietly.

The male protagonist probably doesn't like this spoiled and arrogant little sister. What's the reason for her to do this? Could it be...

Ning Ning quickly put the chopsticks in her hand into her arms: "You, why are you looking at me? Are you jealous that I got the chopsticks? No, no." Just

kidding, the vicious female supporting role won't be so generous. The male protagonist must be unhappy that she got the master's appreciation, and he couldn't stop looking at a pair of chopsticks.

Didn't she give him the Yinshan Ghost Pearl?

Pei Ji:...

He was holding the priceless pearl in his hand, how could she only see the pair of wooden chopsticks?

However, Ning Ning didn't give him a chance to explain, she turned around and ran away.

"My God, the Yinshan Ghost Pearl, a treasure that's hundreds of years old, and she just gave it to you like that? I think this girl is either stupid, or she likes you."

Cheng Ying took a breath and concluded earnestly: "But how can a person be that stupid? That's too unlike a human. So she must like you." Pei Ji said nothing, and lowered his eyes to look at the Yinshan Ghost Pearl in his hand.

The round, fingernail-sized beads were emerald green, and in the sunlight, they gave off a sense of temptation. The emerald green color was eye-catching and charming, as if it could jump into people's hearts in an instant.

Ever since he could remember, he had been living under his mother's beatings, scoldings, and neglect.

All the children in the neighborhood knew that he was the son of a demon cultivator. Out of fear of the demons, no one wanted to be friends with him. Instead, they often gathered together, surrounded him in the corner, and beat him up.

This was the first time someone was willing to give him a gift.

Not to mention such a precious thing.

It was like a child who had never eaten candy suddenly got a sweet taste. No matter how fragrant the candy was, for Pei Ji, who didn't know what sweetness was, the most he felt was confusion and bewilderment.

He didn't understand why Ning Ning was nice to him.

Especially... he was still in such a miserable state.

Chengying's chattering continued in my ears: "What a nice girl! Pretty and kind-hearted, she helps you in all kinds of ways. If I were you, I would have fallen under the skirt of a fairy long ago - Hey, don't go! Pei Ji, where are you going?"

The young man with red lips and white teeth put away the beads, and there was still a shadow in his eyes: "Practice sword."

=====

Ningning recuperated in the courtyard for a few days, and then she received a task reminder from the system.

[Ding Dong!]

[After the battle of Zhaixing Pavilion, you were bored and had nothing to do, so you planned to go to Qingxu Valley to relax, but you didn't expect to run into Wen Hemian, the elder of Xuanxu who had lost all his cultivation.]

[Please humiliate Wen Hemian according to the established plot.]

Oh oh oh! Finally, it's his turn!

In the original novel, besides the male lead, Ning Ning was most impressed by Senior Wen.

Wen Hemian, born with a sword heart, a young genius, is the youngest elder in the history of Xuanxu Sword Sect. Unfortunately, in the great battle between immortals and demons ten years ago, although he and several other masters killed the Demon Lord, he himself was also severely injured, his spiritual bones were damaged, his sea of ​​consciousness was destroyed, and his cultivation was lost.

After that, he has been living in Qingxu Valley. The disciples all knew that there was a senior living there, and they were very tactful and no longer went there.

But the original owner was injured in Zhaixing Pavilion and was in a bad mood. With the mood of a newborn ox not afraid of a tiger, he actually forced his way in.

Speaking of Wen Hemian and the original owner, the two actually have a lot in common.

The original owner showed amazing spiritual energy since she was born. One day, Wen Hemian passed by Ning Mansion. Out of his love for talent, he said frankly that when she grew up, if she wanted to embark on the path of immortality, she could go to Xuanxu Sect to worship him as her master at any time.

However, when the original owner finally grew up, the long-lasting battle between immortals and demons kicked off. Then, the genius fell and lived in Qingxu Valley without going out.

If nothing unexpected happened, Wen Hemian should have been her master.

Perhaps it was because of this that the original owner was particularly mean to Wen Hemian -

she believed that her master should be in a high position, and even mentioning such a useless waste was a joke.

She never expected that Wen Hemian would get a chance in the later part of the story and unexpectedly recover her strength. When she went to call him master again...

Ningning was so embarrassed when she saw it.

Qingxu Valley is a place for immortals to rest and recuperate. The high peaks in the distance are hidden in the clouds. Passing through a narrow path and a line of sky, there is a green valley.

The breeze is all around, the water is calm, the fragrance of flowers and the shadows of trees are reflected in the distance, and the green branches are filled with broken sunlight. The graceful spring scenery is scattered all over the ground by the chirping of orioles and swallows, and the fallen flowers are blown down by the wind, spreading a pool of light pink.

Ningning heard the sound of a piano.

She has studied music theory and is quite talented in music. Although the sound of the zither is long, lingering, elegant and unconventional, it hides a faint sadness, like an insoluble sorrow.

This is the first meeting between her and Wen Hemian in the book.

Wen Hemian was frustrated and played music and the zither in the valley. The original owner had long despised him. Not only did she speak rudely to him, she also smashed the zither with a big stone.

There is really no such thing as the most suicidal, only more suicidal.

Everyone she provoked became a big shot who could not be provoked in the future. With this luck, it can be said that she had won the lottery and the villa was by the sea.

Ningning picked up a big stone with an expressionless face and walked in the direction of the sound of the zither.

She walked slowly, and somehow, she stopped without any warning.

Ningning:?

Ningning tried to use force on her right leg, but it didn't move.

The left side doesn't work either.

Her whole body seemed to have no strength, and she stood there motionless.

"Wait, wait, what's going on!"

Ning Ning kept poking the system in her heart, and the voice that had been pretending to be dead for thousands of years finally appeared reluctantly:

[You have been poisoned by the Ecstasy Flower. This flower gathers in the Qingxu Valley. Anyone below the Yuanying level who smells the fragrance will be paralyzed for an incense stick of time. Once you slowly adapt, the effect will be relieved by itself.]

No, it's not.

If she stands here for an incense stick of time, won't Wen Hemian just walk away? Why didn't the original owner encounter such a thing? Is her luck worse than the original owner's? Is

n't it just that the food in the cafeteria queue was just beaten by the previous person, and she can only draw the SSR at the minimum, and every time she commits suicide, she makes herself miserable?

Ningning's heart was full of little question marks, and soon, the little question marks gathered one by one and became a big exclamation mark.

She was still holding a stone in her hand.

But she had no strength left.

Realizing what was about to happen, Ningning chose to live with a smile.

There was once a perfect opportunity to commit suicide in front of her, but she did not cherish it, and only regretted it when she lost it. If God could give her a chance to start over, Ningning would say to the stone:

It turns out that your landing speed is not five centimeters per second.

The stone fell and hit the back of her foot.

The five shivering fingers curled up together and trembled together, and finally understood what gentleness was.

The breeze came slowly, and the clouds cleared and the mist dissipated.

So when Wen Hemian looked up, she happened to see a beautiful figure in the distance.

A beautiful girl stood alone under a thousand-year-old tree, with white flowers blooming around her.

She stood straight, wandering in the lonely valley, letting the breeze brush through her black hair and white skirt, stirring up a sparse shadow and a faint fragrance. As she walked silently, she felt cold, desolate and melancholy.

They looked at each other in silence. As he played the piano, a tear fell from the girl's eyes.

Wen Hemian was slightly stunned.

This song concealed endless sorrow, but it was not easily revealed. Others who heard it said that they felt relaxed and refreshed.

Only she shed tears after listening to it.

This, this - there is no better confidant than this!

Ning Ning saw that he saw her, and she didn't care about anything else. She struggled to move her lips with all her strength and squeezed out a few crooked words with lip language: "Master, save me! Come on, please!"

Wen Hemian looked at her quietly, trying to distinguish her lip shape.

The old dream is gone... get rid of it quickly?

What a considerate, well-educated and polite little disciple, even speaking in such a gentle way. She must have known what he had been through and was comforting him with this.

But how could she get rid of the nightmare of the past so easily?

Wen Hemian shook his head gently at her and answered with the sound of the piano. The strength in his hands increased, and the sound of the piano became more and more tearful.

Seeing him sitting there shaking his head, Ningning wanted to spit out blood from her heart and cried even harder.

This old bastard! Not only did he not come to help her, he played the piano even more happily! Please be a human being!!!

It’s just that I didn’t want to be your apprentice at the beginning, and it’s just that I’m a little spoiled! She’s still just a child, wuwuwu!

The sound of the piano gradually became heavier, stirring up the grass and the wind.

Wen Hemian's long eyelashes drooped, and his pale lips were pursed to form a slight arc.

The girl was indeed touched. She heard the increasingly sad core of his piano playing. Not only did she reveal a more sad expression, but her tears also kept flowing. It has been unknown how long.

Finally, someone was willing to come and see him, a useless man forgotten by the world, and finally someone could understand his piano playing.

It is difficult to meet a soulmate, and it is difficult to stop playing a song.

The young man who had been lonely for a long time did not hesitate to play his music to thank the unknown girl.

He saw that the girl was crying all the time. She must have remembered some sad past and was moved by the scene.

Everyone has a secret in their heart that cannot be seen in the light. He did not want to disturb her, so he sat there quietly, waiting patiently for her to finish crying.

So Ningning's toes were always swollen.

The words I cursed him in my heart turned into rap, and I kept cursing along with the piano.
