Chapter 129
The old city lord had a complicated expression.
Three thousand years later, he had reached the age where he could call himself "old man". The owner of Laurel Tower had not been heard from for so many years, and the battle in the Endless Sea was extremely brutal, so he, like everyone else, thought that Ning Xu had already died.
Unexpectedly, one day three thousand years later, she suddenly appeared.
When I met her again, her bone age was almost the same as before. In other words, she had other adventures during these three thousand years.
No wonder she never showed up.
After looking at Ning Xu, he looked at the male cultivator beside Ning Xu.
When he saw this male cultivator for the first time, the old city lord almost blurted out the name "Si Zang", but he quickly realized that this was not Si Zang.
Although this man is somewhat similar to Si Zang, they are not the same person after all.
They are not the same person, but they have the same natal spirit beast, the same natal spirit weapon, similar temperament and appearance...
The only explanation is that the person in front of him is Si Zang’s reincarnation!
If this is the case, then the incident that has caused a lot of controversy in the "Three Thousand Monks Exchange Area" in the past two days can be completely explained.
Because he is the reincarnation of the sword immortal, he can perfectly fuse with Si Zang's sword bone. And relying on the fused sword bone, he can soar from the low level of cultivation to the fusion stage!
The old city lord was in a very complicated mood at this moment.
That year, after the battle, Si Zang died, and Ning Shu, who was beside him, jumped into the endless sea and disappeared. The group of people searched for her for a long time but couldn't find her whereabouts.
He thought that he would never be able to get any more information about the "Hundred Flowers Glass Lamp" from Ning Xu.
At that time, he wanted to break the contract, but his staff persuaded him.
In the following decades, Ning Xu seemed to have completely disappeared from the world of cultivation, and no news of him was heard since then. Those who had heard about the battle or witnessed it did not believe that she could still be alive.
She disappeared, but it had no impact on the world of cultivation.
Even without an owner, the Laurel Tower still made a fortune, with visitors coming and going every day, and was bustling with activity.
Faced with such a huge amount of wealth, he was also tempted. Although he was the patriarch of the Ji family, a family of cultivators, and the lord of Tiancheng, he would not think that the spirit stones were too many. It was his staff who urged him to wait a little longer.
This wait lasted for three thousand years.
He still remembers that before his aide died, he held his hand tightly and told him to guard Ningxu's Laurel Tower and not do anything irreparable. He agreed. Only after he gave an affirmative answer did his staff close their eyes without any regrets.
It turns out his staff was right.
He really waited for Ning Xu again.
-
Not only was the old city lord looking at Ning Xu, but Ning Xu was also looking at him.
She said to the melon-eating system, "The last time I saw him was a few days ago."
The melon-eating system, [Yeah, he was still young back then, and now he is an old guy with not much time left. 】
[He has changed so many aides that he has no idea how many times. The most loyal and reliable one has been dead for many years. 】
Thinking of the care that the old city lord had given to Yueguilou over the years, Ning Shu took the initiative to step forward and said, "Senior, long time no see."
The old city lord smiled, and said in a vicissitudes of life tone, "Yes, long time no see." He could no longer call her "my dear sister" as he did before. He has lived for three thousand years, but Ning Xu has remained the same, with his bone age being almost the same as before.
Ning Xu waved to the manager, signaling them to leave first.
The manager was very tactful and took the group of male and female models who had been making a lot of noise away. As soon as they left, the group of male and female models, who had been quiet for a short while, started muttering again.
"The host? He is really the host?"
"It has been personally certified by the old city lord, how could it be wrong?"
"But she looks so young. She seems to be about the same age as me?"
"Not really."
"Her cultivation is higher than mine. I can't tell her bone age, but she gives me the feeling that she is really less than 3,000 years old."
"Who knows? Maybe she has had some adventure?"
Since the owner of the building had shown up, they didn't stay in the Laurel Building any longer. I heard that the owner of Laurel Tower is very mysterious. The most mysterious thing is that she is not a disciple of Star Pavilion, but she knows more about everything in the world than the disciples of Star Pavilion.
They were worried that their undercover identities would be exposed, so they didn't dare to stay in the Laurel Building any longer. They just picked up their luggage and left.
Not long after they left, a new post suddenly appeared on the communication platform of three thousand monks. The title of the post was straightforward and simple, making it easy to understand.
[The owner of the Laurel Tower who had disappeared for three thousand years suddenly appeared! 】
As soon as this post was published, monks left messages one after another. As the most money-making place in the entire cultivation world, the Laurel Tower has attracted the attention of countless cultivators. In addition, the whereabouts of its owner has been unknown, which adds a veil of mystery to the Laurel Tower.
Regardless of the owner's situation, at least the Laurel Tower is the undisputed number one tower in the world of cultivation. Even if it is far inferior to what it used to be, other towers still cannot compare to it.
When the monks heard that there was news about the owner of Laurel Tower, they were shocked.
[There has been no news for three thousand years, but suddenly there is news. Are you sure it is the real poster? 】
[It is certain that the old city lord personally acknowledged her identity. 】
[The old city lord has come out?] Didn’t he go into seclusion before? 】
[This is the first time I know that the owner of Laurel Tower is a female cultivator. 】
【I also……】
[I don’t care what happened to the OP before. I only care about one thing, that is, now that the OP is back, he should be able to improve the Laurel Building, right? I heard that Yueguilou used to have very good business, and the men and women in the building were of very high quality. Even a great man in the Tribulation Crossing Stage had worked as a man in the building. I have no experience with it and really want to experience it. 】
【What? Have all the big guys in the Tribulation Period stayed in the building? 】
What is this? I heard that the most beautiful lady of the fox clan stayed there for a long time. 】
[I'm going crazy!] Why not now! The owner of Laurel Tower will arrange it immediately! Did you hear that? No matter how expensive the fee is, I will do my best to cooperate! As long as you can provide services that match the price, no matter how outrageous the price is, I will pay for it! 】
[The victim appears...]
[To be honest, if the top star is really the best, I would also be willing to be the scapegoat! 】
[Let me go and let me be the scapegoat!] 】
While the three thousand monks were having an extremely intense discussion on the communication ground, Ning Xu was drinking tea with the old city lord.
There is a faint scent of tea filling the air.
Ning Xu put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Thank you for your care for Yuegui Tower over the years. To express my gratitude, I can tell you the whereabouts of the Baihua Liuli Teacup."
The old city lord's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly. After waiting for three thousand years, when he was almost in despair, he actually waited for an old item from the Ji family that might very well help him ascend to heaven.
He calmed himself down and said, "Then I'm all ears."
Considering that the pure-hearted cultivator urgently needed a quiet place without being disturbed by other cultivators to consolidate his cultivation, Ning Xu continued, "If the senior can allow us to enter the Ji family's forbidden area once, I can ensure that you will get the Hundred Flowers Glazed Lamp 100%."
The old city lord did not agree or refuse immediately, but asked, "If I have this Hundred Flowers Glazed Lamp, will I really have a chance to ascend?"
Ning Xu had already obtained all the information about the Ji family from the melon-eating system. Hearing this, she explained, "Before the previous owner of the building ascended, two other great men also ascended successfully."
"And one of them happens to be related to one of your ancestors."
The old city lord became quite interested, as this was news that even he had never known.
Ning Xu continued, "That great being and your ancestor were each other's first love, but unfortunately that great being was of humble origin and not a good match for your ancestor, so the two of them could only miss each other with regret. Your ancestor got married under the arrangement of her family, but not long after, her Taoist partner died. After that, your ancestor did not remarry."
"Perhaps fate has not yet ended, and your ancestor and the great man have reunited. But due to various reasons, although they miss each other, they are not together."
"Many years later, the great being was about to ascend to heaven. Before ascending, he left something precious for your ancestor in the Hundred Flowers Glazed Lamp."
"Before this, the Hundred Flowers Glazed Lamp was just an expensive spiritual weapon. After that, it became a family heirloom of your Ji family."
The old city lord once again changed his opinion of Ning Shu. She even knew such a secret...
You know, as a direct descendant of the Ji family, he didn't know the past of his ancestor, but she knew it like the back of her hand.
Of course, it is possible that she was telling lies, but the old city lord had a hunch that what she said was true.
What she said was indeed the reason why the Hundred Flowers Colored Glass Lamp became a family heirloom of the Ji family!
Ning Xu glanced at the old city lord and continued, "Why is it the Hundred Flowers Glazed Lamp? Because it is a token of love that your ancestor gave to the powerful when he was young."
"The original intention of the great master to leave this thing was to help your ancestor ascend, but she left this precious opportunity to future generations."
"No one knows what your ancestors think, but... this is indeed the only chance you can seize."
Either you give it a try and face the thunder tribulation, or you die on the spot!
There are no other options besides these two!
The old city lord closed his eyes and quickly gave an answer.
"I know about the grudges between you and the Xu family. I can't guarantee more, but what I can guarantee is that no one can affect you when you are in the Ji family's forbidden area."
Ning Xu exhaled, "Don't worry, senior. Si Yan and I won't stay in your forbidden area for too long."
These words...
He really is Si Zang’s reincarnation. If it was just speculation before, then the old city lord has now been confirmed.
He waved his hand and said, "It's okay."
He has been taking care of Laurel Tower for Ning Xu for three thousand years, which means that they have been in the same boat for a long time.
After the deal was done, Ning Xu handed a jade token to the old city lord. The jade token contained not only the location of the Hundred Flowers Colored Glass Lamp, but also the exact method to obtain it. The old city lord first sent Ning Xu and Si Yan into his own forbidden area, and then he hurriedly took people to look for the Hundred Flowers Glass Lamp.
As soon as the old city lord left, the melon-eating system said with satisfaction, "The Ji family's forbidden area is only open to the clan members once every hundred years. Now, before the hundred years have passed, the old city lord has used his authority to open the door for you, which shows his sincerity.
The forbidden area is extremely dangerous, which is just right for practicing and consolidating your cultivation. 】
Because it was not yet opening time, only Ning Xu and others were in the Ji family's forbidden area, and no one else was disturbing them.
She let Xiu Gou practice on his own first, while she sat down and watched Xiu Gou practice.
The melon-eating system asked, [Host, what are you thinking about? 】
Ning Xu pondered and said, "When the old city lord verified my identity today, there were quite a few people present. It probably won't be long before the people in the cultivation world know that the owner of Yuegui Tower has returned."
The melon-eating system went to the Three Thousand Monks Exchange Ground to eat some melons and said, "Now they already know."
Ning Xu was not surprised by this.
She said, "Anyone who has experienced that war and is still alive will inevitably connect the owner of Laurel Tower with me."
"That is to say..."
"Gua, I'm about to be exposed..."
Exposed?
If it were before, the melon-eating system might still be worried, but now it is not only not worried, it even hopes that this moment will come sooner!
After all, times have changed!
It excitedly comforted, "It's okay, host, things are different now than they were back then!" 】
[At that time, the top fighters in the cultivation world all stood on the side of Xuhua and others, but three thousand years have passed...]
The melon-eating system gloated, "They have already turned into dust." 】
[Xuhua and the others...]
There will never be such a strong teammate again. 】
Ning Xu continued, "It won't be long before Xuhua and the others will know that I'm back."
Xuhua and others are not stupid, on the contrary, they are very smart.
They will infer from clues that Ning Xu and the owner of Yuegui Tower are the same person.
All I can say is that their guess back then was true, and they really got it right.
Ning Xu said calmly, "Rather than being stripped by them, I'd rather take the initiative to strip."
Anyway, it's only a matter of time before he's exposed. If it happens earlier or later, the impact will not be significant.
The melon-eating system said excitedly, [Host, are you going to cause trouble again? 】
In response to the words of the melon-eating system, a new post appeared on the Three Thousand Monks Communication Forum.
[It's the sacrificial ceremony that happens once every few hundred years. I wonder which geniuses will be tragically sacrificed by Xuhua this time. 】
The poster was none other than the king of melon-shattering who had disappeared for several years—“Ban Gua!”
Monks:? ? ?
Flocs?
No, Banggua, you actually dare to call out the real name of a Mahayana cultivator! You really do!
It’s awesome!
