No one knows the real intention of Zhu Xuanji's arrangement for Ning Zhuo.

He has at least three levels of thought.

One is to verify what was said in the diary and see Ning Zhuo's control skills in the play "Fang Qing Xi Yuan".

The other is to use this incident to try to awaken Ning Zhuo and inspire Ning Zhuo.

The last one is to use this opera to persuade Ning Zhuo and give him an ultimatum - the opportunity to abandon the dark and join the light is right in front of you, right now! "These are the mechanical puppets that Li Leifeng used for performances during his lifetime." Zhu Hou personally went on stage and handed over a set of puppet props to Ning Zhuo.

"Thank you." Ning Zhuo expressed his gratitude.

Zhu Hou looked at Ning Zhuo closely, with a curious look in his heart and a warm smile on his face: "Young man, do a good job!"

Zhu Hou stepped down and Ning Zhuo began to study the puppet in his hand.

The puppet has a simple structure and is mainly controlled by strings.

When Ning Zhuo was getting familiar with the place, a life-saving thread shot out from the Lava Palace, hung above Ning Zhuo's head, and connected to his soul.

The voice of the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit came through the life-threatening thread, anxious and impatient: "Young Master, Young Master!"

"This is terrible! Ning Xiaohui has presented us with the Golden Phoenix Mirror. We are done for, we are done for!"

"Once she has achieved great achievements, she will be able to take charge of the position of the Historian Pavilion immediately."

"By then, no secrets can be hidden anymore."

Ning Zhuo sighed, and secretly responded through the thread of life hanging by a thread: "Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, I can't leave now, I can't escape!"

"Look, this stage is a cage."

"That constable is eyeing me eagerly."

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit said in a sharp voice, and was furious: "What should we do? What should we do?"

"Think of a solution quickly!"

"I told you to find a solution a long time ago. I told you to deal with Ning Xiaohui a long time ago!"

"Now you see, she's about to succeed, but you're outside of Asgard!!"

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit wanted to curse loudly. At this critical moment of life and death, Ning Zhuo actually wanted to perform a puppet show.

Hasn't he always been resourceful? Why has he become so stupid now?

As soon as Zhu Xuanji stared at him, he couldn't move and became a complete waste!

"If I had known this, why would I have bet on you?"

"well!"

"I am so blind, so blind!"

In the main hall of the Lava Fairy Palace, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was spinning around in a panic, raising its head and spitting fire from time to time.

Ning Zhuo no longer paid attention to the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit.

There are three steps on the stage.

He climbed the stairs, walked to the top and sat on the round stool.

This is where Li Leifeng often sat during his lifetime.

The round stool was ordinary, but Ning Zhuo's back was already sweating and he felt very uncomfortable.

He was thinking hard and knew very well that this was Zhu Xuanji putting pressure on him, but at the same time, he was also using this opportunity to give him a chance to turn back and get ashore!

As soon as Ning Zhuo finished this puppet show, he would kneel down and cry bitterly when he saw Zhu Xuanji again, complaining that because he was too young, he was shown kindness, funded and supported by the evil monks and was thus brought on board as a pirate.

Now, influenced by Zhu Xuanji and feeling guilty when thinking of Li Leifeng, he decided to plead guilty and turn over a new leaf.

By then, Zhu Xuanji would certainly help him up and let him make amends for his crime.

Ning Zhuo could also contact Sun Lingtong again, frame Bukongmen, and play this drama well.

"Zhu Xuanji asked me to step onto the stage to give me a chance. As long as I follow his wishes and step down, I will be like a prodigal son who has returned to the right path."

"I can clean myself up!"

“In the future, with Zhu Xuanji’s support, I will achieve something in the right way, and when people mention this, it will become a good story.”

"Just like the various classic operas that have been passed down!"

Ning Zhuo narrowed his eyes, his heart filled with emotions.

While talking with Song Fuli, he saw a second path in his life, which led to Feiyun Country.

At this moment, he saw the third path in his life. This path led to the Kingdom of Nandou and the imperial court.

Life, it seems, does not just have one path.

If Ning Zhuo's plan is followed, he is determined to seize the Lava Fairy Palace, which will undoubtedly be against Meng Kui and Zhu Xuanji, and against the Meng family and the royal family of Nandou Kingdom.

"Will the life path I have taken...really be successful?"

"Can I really become the master of Asgard?"

"Even if I become the master of the Immortal Palace, how can I deal with enemies like Meng Kui and Zhu Xuanji?"

"Can I just walk away? Fly away into the sky with the Lava Palace on my shoulders?"

Ning Zhuo cannot guarantee himself and he cannot predict the future.

His life had been full of crises, like throwing himself into endless magma, like committing suicide!

However, if you join Zhu Xuanji, it will be different.

Zhu Xuanji admires himself very much!

Ning Zhuo could fully feel this point.

There are many good horses, but there are few good horse trainers.

Relying on Zhu Xuanji, Ning Zhuo is likely to rise to prominence. Ning Zhuo is well aware of Zhu Xuanji's status in the royal family.

There is no shortage of golden elixirs in the Nandou royal family, but Zhu Xuanji is the most outstanding among the golden elixir cultivators.

Cultivation does not represent everything. Character, talent and aptitude are the key factors that determine the difference between cultivators.

Ning Zhuo believed that Zhu Xuanji had a bright future and would be an important official in the court of Nandou Kingdom in the future! "He who knows the current affairs is a hero... The king of Nandou Kingdom also issued an order to recruit talents."

"If I surrender to Zhu Xuanji, perhaps I can continue to fight for the position of Palace Master of the Immortal Palace. Then I can follow the order to recruit talented people, offer myself to the Immortal Palace, become a minister of the Nandou court, and rise to prominence with the help of Zhu Xuanji!"

"Such a future..."

This was a future Ning Zhuo had never imagined.

Perhaps, as Zhu Xuanji had just pointed out to him - he was already different.

He is no longer the little thief off the stage, he is already the young master on the stage!

Boom.

On both sides of the stage, musicians began to play.

The sound of a big drum broke Ning Zhuo's meditation.

Boom boom boom.

The bass drum was struck slowly.

Afterwards, the jinghu began to play accompaniment, creating a solemn atmosphere.

The stage made a creaking sound, the surface of the stage sank, and then a large number of small mechanical buildings rose up, constructing a scene.

The performing puppet is placed in the middle of the scene, with more than a dozen strings extending from its limbs.

The string was vague, but after Ning Zhuo infused it with magic power, the string disappeared into itself, becoming completely transparent and could no longer be seen with the naked eye.

Ning Zhuo stretched out his ten fingers, put them in his sleeves, and began a series of provocative movements.

With strings attached to the ends of his ten fingers, he manipulated each puppet and began the first act of the play "Fang Qingshi Yuanyuan".

In the lobby, Fang Qing puppet was sitting upright.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

On the table in front of him were files, a gavel, a token, as well as writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone.

Fang Qing puppet spoke with a majestic demeanor: "Come here, bring the criminal to the court!"

Two constables, one on the left and one on the right, escorted a criminal to the front of the hall.

The criminal knelt on the ground, looking timid, but still trying to remain calm.

This simple appearance alone amazed the audience.

Unlike normal combat puppets, theater puppets have many control strings, which can produce more subtle movements and expressions. Even the tone of voice can change with the intensity of the magic power transmission.

Ning Zhuo controls these puppets at a very high level, making them behave very naturally, just like real people.

Fang Qing puppet continued to speak, describing the criminal's crimes in a detailed and rigorous manner.

The criminal sang hurriedly, his tone full of resentment: "I am just an ordinary citizen, and you Fang Qing are asking me questions unjustly as a high official!"

"In this world, everyone is like this, why do you only blame me?"

Fang Qing's puppet sang: "The law is strict and will not let anyone escape. No matter how high or low you are, you will all be severely punished."

"The law of nature is clear, how can you argue with it?"

"You are just an accomplice, don't take any chances."

Pop.

Fang Qing puppet accurately grabbed the gavel on the table and slammed it, making a crisp sound.

Then he shouted loudly: "The evidence is irrefutable, quickly reveal the real culprit!"

The criminal puppet lowered his head and kept silent.

The constable took him back to the cell.

Push the door open.

Ning Xiaohui walked into the Shiji Pavilion! Her face was full of excitement and excitement. She didn't expect to enter here so soon and complete the mission that Zhu Xuanji had given her.

“I did it!”

“Although I had to rely on the Golden Phoenix Mirror, I succeeded in the end.”

"Hahaha!"

Ning Xiaohui laughed loudly, feeling very high-spirited at this moment.

The Shiji Pavilion is filled with countless jade slips.

Ning Xiaohui walked among them, reaching out to touch the jade slips, with a smile on her lips, her eyes shining, and a look of satisfaction and pride.

"From now on, I can also catch the eye of Master Zhu Xuanji."

"Excellent! Entering the Immortal Palace is the most suitable route for me."

“I seized this opportunity in my life!”

Ning Xiaohui suppressed her excitement and began to use her position to look up past records in the Lava Fairy Palace.

She was in deep thought at first, then her eyes widened after a moment, and she discovered an extremely shocking secret.

“Great discovery!”

"The Zheng family's mechanical black snake actually came from here?"

Ning Xiaohui's face was full of surprise and she continued to investigate.

Soon, she opened her mouth in extreme shock.

"Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit! There is something very wrong with this Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit!"

Ning Xiaohui became extremely excited. At this moment, she finally understood why Zhu Xuanji asked her to explore the Shiji Pavilion.

This step is really crucial! "As expected of Master Zhu Xuanji! He should have suspected it, but he just has no evidence."

"I now have evidence in my hands. I have done a great job!"

Ning Xiaohui's face flushed with excitement as she continued to check.

But then, the blush on her face quickly faded, and she was dumbfounded, and her excitement and excitement turned into horror and paleness.

"It's better to be clumsy, it's better to be clumsy..."

"It's you!!!"

"Conspiracy, a huge conspiracy."

"It's horrible that you've been acting since you were two years old."

"Qi Refining Stage, you are only at the Qi Refining Stage, yet you dare to plot against Lava Immortal Palace! You are so audacious, your crime is unforgivable!!"

Ning Xiaohui scolded in her heart.

The truth was horrifying, chilling her to the bone.

But soon, she became extremely excited.

"Ning Zhuo, you criminal, I caught you!"

"Hahaha, you are the biggest murderer!"

"You're done. You're completely done."

"I will use you to accomplish my great feat. How wonderful! How wonderful!"

Boom! The next moment, a loud noise was heard, and the Lava Fairy Palace was shaken violently.

Ning Xiaohui lost her balance, staggered, and almost fell down.

She was confused and asked, "What's going on? What happened?"
