Chapter 48 Demon Cult White Moonlight 3 What are you doing here?
Ning Huaiqing stood up and stared at A Li.
"I recognized you. You are Senior Sister Mu." He said this in an extremely serious tone.
"I heard that you were punished by the headmaster, I..."
Ali ignored him, raised his long eyelashes slightly, slowly stood up, and walked towards the overgrown cave behind him.
Xixin Pond is located on the steep cliff of the west peak of Quanqing Mountain. Because the water in the pond is as cold as ice all year round, after the establishment of Ziwei Pavilion, it was used as a place for disciples who made mistakes to reflect on their mistakes.
In addition to the Xixin Pool on this cliff, there is also a bottomless cave. Ning Huaiqing hesitated for a moment at the entrance of the cave and followed it.
"Senior Sister Mu, wait for me."
It was pitch dark in the cave, and the further you went in, the darker it became. There were rubble and indistinguishable debris everywhere under your feet.
Ning Huaiqing felt his hair stand on end. He took a few quick steps and stood in front of Ali.
Ali paused, his voice even colder than the cave itself: "What are you doing here?"
Ning Huaiqing didn't say anything, but silently drew out the Qingyun Sword he carried with him. The sword was thin and sharp, emitting a light green light in the darkness. Although it was not strong, it was enough to illuminate the road under his feet.
"It's the Qingyun Sword, forged by the swordsmith, Master Cui Ling, using top-grade ore from Dagong Mountain. That year, Master Cui only made two swords using this ore, and both were obtained by my grandfather."
Ning Huaiqing's voice came from in front of him, sounding a little muffled.
He walked in front of Ali, reminding her to be careful with her steps from time to time.
Ali responded, his gaze lingering on the Qingyun Sword in his hand for a long time, as if he was thinking.
The two walked one in front and one behind for about half an incense stick of time, and then they saw a faint light in front of them.
After crossing the small stream under their feet, the two came to an extremely spacious cave. The sunlight leaked through the hanging hole at the top, making the place extremely bright.
The cave is fully equipped with everything needed for food, accommodation and travel, and there is even a place for practicing meditation.
The environment is quiet and secluded from the world. If you didn't tell me, you would think it was the retreat of some hermit.
Ning Huaiqing raised his head and turned around: "I didn't expect there would be such a different world in here."
The Ziwei Pavilion is a place where people can reflect on their mistakes in front of the wall, which is much better than the one in Linfeng Villa.
He turned around and saw Ali sitting down at the table, writing something.
Ning Huaiqing put away his sword and walked over. Seeing that she was copying the rules of Ziwei Pavilion, he remembered the purpose of his trip.
He took out a token from his pocket and placed it on the table: "Senior Sister Mu, this is a special token of my Linfeng Villa. It is engraved with the name of the holder. Each one is unique. Only with this token can you move freely in the villa."
Ah Li was dressed in plain clothes, with his bright eyes lowered. He wrote the last paragraph of this article stroke by stroke, and then put down his pen: "I understand."
She didn't look at the token on the table and said softly, "This is Ziwei Pavilion's place of reflection. The Sect Master has ordered that disciples are not allowed to approach at will. Young Master Ning may leave now."
"But I'm not a disciple of your sect, so I can't come either?" Ning Huaiqing lifted his robe and sat down, placing the Qingyun Sword beside him. "I came here just to see if there's anything I can do to help Senior Sister."
Ah Li just shook his head coldly: "If Master Ning is here for what happened that night, then there is no need. The Sect Leader has only ordered me to come here to reflect on my mistakes, which is already very lenient."
"I deserve this."
These words made Ning Huaiqing feel even more guilty. It was he who had implicated Senior Sister Mu.
Seeing that A-li no longer paid attention to him, Ning Huaiqing placed the Qingyun Sword on the table and said, "Senior Sister Mu seemed a little curious about my sword. If there is anything you want to know, please feel free to ask me."
Ali's eyes flickered slightly, and she was surprised by his keen observation. She raised her head and glanced at the Qingyun Sword: "I am indeed interested in Master Ning's sword."
Ning Huaiqing finally showed a smile on his face and looked at her intently: "What do you want to know, Senior Sister?"
Ah Li lifted his sleeve slightly and put down the pen in his hand. "When I went down the mountain with Master some time ago, I came into contact with your sect's disciples. I saw them using the Linfeng sword technique. It was indeed extremely exquisite and powerful."
Ning Huaiqing nodded, his tone full of pride. "The Linfeng Sword Technique was created by the Ning family's ancestors. My father has been practicing it for the fourth generation. He works diligently day and night, and fortunately, he has not brought disgrace to the name of our ancestors."
"Then I guess Mr. Ning's Linfeng swordsmanship was truly taught by Sect Leader Ning?" Ali asked.
"Of course," Ning Huaiqing replied, then suddenly seemed to remember something and looked nervous. "Speaking of Lin Feng Swordsmanship... would Senior Sister Mu like to see it?"
"Although I've only learned the basics, I understand the general idea of ​​swordsmanship."
He didn't know why he suddenly said this, but the words had been spoken and there was no reason to take them back.
Ali seemed a little surprised, and looked at him with eyes as clear as autumn water.
As if afraid that Ah Li would refuse, Ning Huaiqing immediately stood up, drew out the Qingyun Sword, and made a beautiful sword flower in the air.
"Just think of it as mutual learning between Ziwei Pavilion and Linfeng Villa. Didn't Sect Leader He also say so?"
The young man now stood tall and straight, his spirits high, holding the sword across his eyes, his gaze gradually becoming sharp and firm.
"Since it's a competition, there must be someone to fight against."
Ning Huaiqing looked at Ali in surprise. She had picked up the Frost Sword and stood five steps away from him.
Ning Huaiqing's eyes gradually filled with joy: "Senior sister, you are willing to teach me, Huaiqing is very grateful!"
After seeing Senior Sister Mu's stunning beauty on the trial stage that day, he had been thinking about her all the time. He never expected that this wish buried deep in his heart would be fulfilled so easily.
"Stop talking nonsense, I won't show mercy." Ali took the first step, and the sword light was like snow.
The Poxu sword technique is sharp and changeable, which is the biggest reliance of Ziwei Pavilion to sit firmly on the throne of the first place in the martial arts world. So far, there is no way to break or restrain it in the world.
The Frost Sword was unsheathed, but the coldness came before the sword tip even reached it.
Faced with such a fierce attack, Ning Huaiqing did not panic at all. He took the initiative to fly forward and used the "All Things Return to One" in Lin Feng's swordsmanship to dissolve the fatal blow of Ningshuang Sword. Almost without stopping, he used the "Rising Tide of the Blue Sea" to attack Ali.
The two men fought back and forth, both using all their strength, using all the exquisite moves of their respective sects. For a moment, sword energy overflowed, and even the cave trembled slightly.
After a hundred moves, the winner was still undecided, and both men saw the excitement of meeting a worthy opponent in each other's eyes.
But Ning Huaiqing was still young and his internal strength was still shallow, so gradually, the sword force became stagnant.
Ali naturally did not miss this opportunity. After dozens of fierce attacks, the back of the Ningshuang Sword hit Ning Huaiqing's right wrist mercilessly. He withdrew his hand in pain, and the Qingyun Sword was knocked to the ground.
Seeing this, Ali withdrew his attack in time and flew over to grab Ning Huaiqing who was about to fall.
The mountain wind howled, blowing away the tension between the two.
Ning Huaiqing withdrew his gaze from the ground behind him and moved it to Ali's face.
Her skin was whiter than snow, her cheeks were slightly red, and beads of sweat were visible on her forehead. Her eyes, which always contained coldness, were staring at him without blinking.
Ning Huaiqing's breath was choked, and he suddenly couldn't remember anything.
"How long do you plan to watch?"
Ali stood up and loosened his grip, causing Ning Huaiqing to fall heavily.
He rubbed his butt with a grin as he came back to his senses. He then heard Ali say, "However, your Linfeng sword technique is indeed unique. It neutralized several attacks from the Guixu sword technique."
Ning Huaiqing was stunned, feeling a little embarrassed. "Actually... it's because I saw Senior Sister Mu's sword moves on the day of the Sword Trial Competition. After returning, I thought of several ways to counter her, but there are still many that I haven't been able to use yet..."
"You only watched it once and you remembered all the sword moves of Guixu Sword Technique?" A Li asked curiously.
Ning Huaiqing nodded: "I have been able to memorize sword moves quickly since I was a child. Now that I have fought against Senior Sister Mu again, I have mastered the Guixu Sword Technique by heart."
Ali lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Is this the unique talent of the male protagonist in the novel?
Coincidentally, she also memorized all of Ning Huaiqing's Linfeng sword techniques.
*
After Ning Huaiqing left, the sky gradually darkened.
Ali leaned on the couch, supporting his chin with one hand, looking lazy, concentrating on thinking about recent events.
Suddenly, a black butterfly flew to her ear. Ali waved her hand impatiently to knock the black-leaf butterfly down. She saw it struggling and flapping on the ground, and then watched it die bit by bit with cold eyes.
Ali slowly picked up the candlestick, squatted down and burned the body of the black leaf butterfly into ashes, and then he felt a little better.
This black-leaf butterfly is unique to the Western Regions. It can fly thousands of miles with a flap of its wings. After special breeding and domestication, it can be used to deliver messages.
But Ali doesn't want to see this kind of thing now.
Before coming to Central Plains, she had assured him again and again that there would be no accidents and that she would go back after everything was done, but he still acted on his own and almost ruined her plans several times.
It seems that the first thing to do after returning is to clean up the house.
The indifference in his eyes during the day now turned into a sinister look. Ali narrowed his eyes, and the aura around him made people shudder.
Suddenly, Ali turned her head to look at the cave entrance, and the terrifying expression on her face quickly receded like a tide. She sat back at the table and picked up the half-copied rules of Ziwei Pavilion.
The footsteps were getting closer, it was the disciple who came to bring her food.
Ali raised his head and saw a strange face.
"Who are you?"
The man was dressed in disciple's attire, but Ali seemed to have never seen him before.
"Senior Sister Miaoqin has something to do tonight, so she asked me to bring food to Senior Sister Mu."
He put the food box on the table and left the cave without staying any longer.
Ali used his fingers to open the food box. There were only some ordinary meals inside, nothing unusual.
She thought to herself, am I overthinking it?
Ah Li sat down, thinking of the disciple's eyes just now, and always felt an indescribable strangeness. She went over the plot of the Ziwei Pavilion period in the book in her mind and muttered a name:
"Yan Feng."
She remembered that the man was the swordsman who had fought with her on the day of the sword test competition. Later, he was accepted as a disciple by the master. His name was Yan Feng.
He is also an important character in the book. He is in love with Xiang Yao. Later, Xiang Yao repeatedly made things difficult for her, and this junior brother Yan played a lot of roles in it.
It was even he who exposed Mu Li's true identity in front of everyone.
