Chapter 147 Chapter 147 Xun (Thirty-eight)

After crying for a long time, Ning Helan finally calmed down. Ning Xuechen looked at Ning Helan’s face and smiled: "Look, Lanlan has cried like a cat."

Ning Helan also smiled. He looked at his father and then at his mother: "Mom and Dad, are you living well now? You should have been reincarnated, right? Have you gone to a family that treats you well?"

"No, Lanlan," Fang Shuyu looked at him tenderly, "Mom and Dad didn't reincarnate, but we are living well."

"...What do you mean?" Ning Helan didn't understand. It shouldn't be possible that Mom and Dad were locked up in the dungeon of the underworld, right?

Ning Xuechen said, "How should I put it? Now we are considered as little immortals, so we live in a fairy mountain and have not been reincarnated."

"Little immortals?" Ning Helan was even more confused.

It turned out that Ning Xuechen and Fang Shuyu were descendants of Taoism, and both of them had immortal blood in their bodies, so they did not go to the underworld after their accidental death. Later, their souls were taken away and stayed in the fairy mountain to live and practice.

"Lanlan, now dad and mom live in Kunlun Mountain." Fang Shuyu said, "But after all, we have passed away, and the three realms in this world do not intersect, so they can't come to see you."

"Today, I came to see you, thanks to the blessing of the Great Emperor Zhenwu, who allowed us to come out of the mountain." Ning Xuechen said.

Ning Helan glanced at the Zhenwu Emperor beside him, who smiled and waved his hands: "It's just a small favor, no need to thank me."

"Lanlan, are you still unable to let go of what happened in the past?" Fang Shuyu asked, "It's not anyone's fault, it's the fate of mom and dad, and it's also your fate."

"..." Ning Helan was silent.

Ning Xuechen said: "Lanlan, it's time to let it go. You have tortured yourself for so many years, let yourself go."

"But..." Ning Helan frowned, "I... I thought they would come to save you..."

The "they" Ning Helan mentioned were naturally the immortal masters and immortal sisters he called.

Ning Xuechen shook her head: "Lanlan, we were the ones who didn't let them come."

Fang Shuyu said: "It happened suddenly at that time, and we didn't expect it to happen on that day."

It turned out that Ning Xuechen and Fang Shuyu could vaguely feel that a catastrophe was approaching for both of them, but they didn't expect it to happen on Ning Helan's fifth birthday.

Fang Shuyu held Ning Helan's hand: "Lanlan, the only regret your father and I have is that we didn't get to spend a good fifth birthday with you."

Ning Xuechen sighed lightly: "Lanlan, I'm sorry, we didn't tell you all these years. You were too young back then, and later we wanted to see you but couldn't. We didn't expect that you still have a knot in your heart."

"No, no... I'm fine, I don't blame you..." Ning Helan's tears rolled down again. He looked at his parents' sad faces. It turned out that his parents were sadder than him. He couldn't let go, and they couldn't let go even more. He tortured himself and also tortured them.

After looking at her parents for a long time, Ning Helan suddenly smiled: "Mom and Dad, I'm fine... I'll be fine in the future."

Zhenwu, who was standing next to her, was a little nervous at first. He couldn't help rubbing his hands together, looking a little nervous, but after hearing what Ning Helan said, he finally put down the heavy stone in his heart. It turned out that his parents' words were effective. Before leaving,

Ning Xuechen and Fang Shuyu told Ning Helan that if Ning Helan missed her parents, she could come to Kunlun Mountain to see them, and maybe she could see them.

After watching the two people's bodies gradually become transparent and then disappear, Ning Helan turned around and walked towards the Zhenwu Emperor beside him: "Emperor."

"Hey!" Zhenwu Emperor turned around pretending to be surprised, "Are you done? How do you feel now?"

Zhenwu Emperor found that Ning Helan's eyes were different from before, and stared at him for a long time: "Your eyes..."

Ning Helan's eyes have always seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, making them unclear, but now they are as bright as deep-sea gems, a very beautiful sapphire blue, except that the bleeding right eye now looks lighter than the left.

A gust of wind blew from nowhere. Although Ning Helan's clothes were now dirty and messy, Zhenwu could see that she was whiter than snow. Ning Helan smiled and said, "It's okay."

As he said that, Gushe, who was outside, saw Ning Helan open her eyes, and her eyeballs changed from normal human round eyes to vertical pupils.

Gushe was very satisfied. He knew that Ning Helan had become a demon now.

"Gushe!"

Suddenly, a furious voice came from mid-air. Gushe froze when he heard the voice. He was too familiar with this voice. This was the person who had beaten him to death that year.

"Hiss!" Hook Snake turned his head suddenly. Sure enough, he saw Ning Guohua falling from the sky, with an intimidating aura around him. A magic circle suddenly appeared where he landed. The magic circle was shining, and the pattern of the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams was also very conspicuous in the dim light.

"Ning! Guo! Hua!" Hook Snake's nightmare-like memories began to emerge in his mind. It was him who almost ruined half of his Taoism and forced him to hide in a place like this to recuperate. Now he actually showed up.

When enemies meet, they are particularly jealous. Hook Snake's eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

The hook snake attacked first, its thick tail caught the wind and lashed out at Ning Guohua. Although Ning Guohua was old, he was agile and swift. He dodged the hook snake's attack with a light step, and then threw a spell with his backhand. The hook snake twisted its body to avoid it. The thin spell paper was like a blade, slicing through the hook snake's scales with a sizzling sound, and even sparks were produced by friction.

Ning Guohua threw out several spells again, and the hook snake flew away from its original position into the air, opening its mouth and spewing out streams of poisonous gas. Some of the spells were corroded by the poisonous gas, while others hit its body. The hook snake's scales were very hard, and the spells left only a little white mark, which quickly disappeared.

The hook snake was enraged and sprayed a stream of black venom at Ning Guohua. Wherever the venom reached, the ground sizzled and emitted bursts of white gas, and large pits were corroded in an instant.

Ning Guohua stood in the formation with ease, and the Bagua pattern under his feet lit up, and a semicircular transparent barrier was generated, blocking the hook snake's attack.

Ning Guohua snorted and pointed at the hooked snake with two fingers: "Evil beast! You are ready to do evil again! I shouldn't have let you go! I could defeat you once last year, and I can defeat you a second time today!"

The hooked snake hissed and spit out poisonous gas, staring at Ning Guohua with resentment. Ning Guohua growled and raised his hand to draw a circle in the air. Suddenly, countless talismans appeared in the air.

After Ning Guohua recited the incantation, the talismans emitted golden light, and with Ning Guohua's finger, they shot out like arrows from a bow.

"Bang bang bang!"

The talismans blessed by the power of magic hit the hook snake's body and made a series of explosions. Although it didn't seem to cause much damage, the hook snake still felt the pain and turned around to leave.

"Don't even think about escaping, you evil beast!" Ning Guohua shouted, and the talismans flew out from his side and caught up with the hook snake.

A sinister light flashed in the hook snake's eyes, and it raised its tail to block its head. It was holding a person at the tip of its tail.

Ning Guohua was startled and hurriedly used his magic power to change the direction of the talismans. The talismans passed in front of the hook snake and flew to the forest behind.

"Bang!"

The explosion sounded, and the forest behind was suddenly blown up, and fell to the ground with a rumbling sound.

Ning Guohua took a step forward and looked at the person caught by the hooked snake in astonishment: "...Xiao Lan?"

Ning Helan closed his eyes and was covered in blood. There were many wounds visible to the naked eye. Some of the wounds were so deep that you could even see the skin and flesh inside.

"Xiao Lan!" Ning Guohua shouted, with a bad feeling in his heart, "Xiao Lan! I am the grandpa!"

After shouting a few times, Ning Helan finally moved. As he opened his eyes, Ning Guohua saw Ning Helan's eyes, and his heart instantly sank.

Ning Guohua saw that Ning Helan's eyes turned into golden snake pupils, and there was a clear demonic aura emanating from her body.

"You...what did you do to him?!" Ning Guohua was so shocked that even his voice was trembling. He ran towards Ning Helan quickly, "Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan!"

"Hehe..." Hook Snake sprayed out a beam of light to force Ning Guohua back, with a smug look on his face, "Are you shocked? I saved your precious grandson from the brink of death."

Ning Guohua didn't want to listen to his nonsense. He cast several spells from his palm. Hook Snake dodged some of them, but when it saw that it couldn't avoid it, it blocked Ning Helan in front of it. Ning Guohua could only suddenly retract his strength and deflect the spell to avoid hurting Ning Helan.

"Your grandson almost died just now. If I hadn't been merciful and given him half of my inner elixir, you wouldn't have had the chance to see your grandson for the last time." The tone of the hook snake was full of pride of having succeeded in his evil plan.

Ning Guohua was furious after hearing this: "Hook snake! You and I have a grudge against me, don't drag Xiao Lan into it!"

The hook snake looked at Ning Guohua's reaction with satisfaction and laughed triumphantly.

"You evil beast, die!" Ning Guohua swung his hand, and a talisman paper appeared in the air. A bolt of lightning shot out from the talisman paper. "Pah!" The lightning rushed towards the hook snake, and the hook snake twisted its body to the side to avoid the vital parts.

"Pah, pah, pah!"

Several lightning bolts flew out, and the hook snake felt a little weak. This lightning can kill many monsters, even itself, who has practiced for tens of thousands of years, is not surprised. Although it avoided many of them, some still hit its body. The hook snake's scales are hard, even if the lightning hits it, it only leaves a few marks.

At this time, a lightning bolt rushed towards the hook snake's eyes. The hook snake immediately blocked Ning Helan in front of itself. Ning Guohua quickly pointed his finger to the side, and the lightning turned in the air and fell into the mud beside it.

A big hole was immediately blown out of the mud.

The hook snake calculated that Ning Guohua had concerns, so it took advantage of his unpreparedness to spit out a mouthful of thick smoke. Although Ning Guohua threw out a talisman paper to deal with it, he didn't expect that the hook snake actually had two fangs hidden under the poison gas. Ning Guohua quickly retreated and stood still and quickly made a move. The hook snake was not panicked and used Ning Helan as a shield again.

"!" The speed was too fast, and the move was too late to avoid Ning Helan. Ning Guohua had to withdraw his hand in a hurry and forced his power back into his body. The meridians in his body were shaken, and the hook snake took the opportunity to swing its tail and hit Ning Guohua's chest hard.

"Pah!"

The poisonous snake tail knocked Ning Guohua away, and he fell to the ground from mid-air. Ning Guohua's chest was obviously corroded by the poison gas, and a large black area appeared. Ning Guohua felt stuffy in his chest and coughed out a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Hahahaha... Ning Guohua, seeing you suffer, I feel really comfortable in my heart, hahaha!"

"Despicable..."

The hooked snake narrowed his eyes, and he shook Ning Helan, who was now like a puppet: "Is this despicable? That's because you haven't seen the despicable yet!"

"You... cough..." Ning Guohua covered his chest and reluctantly sat up from the ground.

Hook Snake came to Ning Helan and whispered like a devil: "Ning Helan, go see your grandfather. Your grandfather came from a long way and is very worried about you."

Ning Helan's eyes were dull and unfocused. Only after hearing what Hook Snake said did his fingers move.

"Xiao Lan..." Ning Guohua had already felt the evil spirit emanating from Ning Helan. It seemed that he had been demonized by Hook Snake. Ning Guohua gritted his teeth fiercely. He should not have hesitated at that time. When he calculated that Xiao Lan would have this disaster, he should have returned home immediately.

Hook Snake put Ning Helan on the ground, and Ning Helan walked towards Ning Guohua with a stiff posture.

Looking at Ning Helan's snake pupils, Ning Guohua felt very uncomfortable. He reluctantly stood up and took out a talisman paper, ready to force out the hook snake inner elixir in Ning Helan's body.

Ning Helan slowly walked in front of Ning Guohua and looked down at him. Ning Guohua just wanted to stick the talisman paper on Ning Helan's chest, but Ning Helan stretched out his hand and slapped the talisman paper off.

"Xiao Lan... Xiao Lan, open your eyes and look, I am the grandpa..." Ning Guohua was heartbroken and reached out to touch Ning Helan's cheek. The temperature transmitted from his fingertips was lower than the normal human body temperature, which was proof that normal people were gradually becoming monsters.

The skin temperature of ordinary people who have transformed into monsters is different from that of ordinary people. Just like Ning Helan, who has taken the inner elixir of the hook snake, his body temperature will gradually decrease until it reaches the same temperature as a snake...

Ning Helan now has snake scales at the corners of his eyes, and his eyes are dull and unfocused. Ning Guohua's heart aches every time he looks at him.

"Ning Helan! What are you doing! Why don't you say hello to your grandfather?!" The hook snake over there saw Ning Helan not moving for a long time and shouted angrily.

Following the hook snake's words, Ning Helan slowly raised her hand.

"Ning Helan!"

Suddenly, a deep and old voice came, followed by a beam of light. Ning Helan did a somersault to avoid it and turned to look in the direction of the voice.

He saw Xuanyu Zhenren and Mingxu Taoist priests coming out of the woods with several Taoist priests, including Yun Yan.

"You still can't tell, and I'm obviously worried." Mingxu muttered in a low voice.

"Huh? Mingxu, what did you say?" Xuanyu looked at Mingxu with a smile.

Mingxu waved his hands repeatedly: "Zhenren, it's nothing, I was talking to myself..."

Yun Yan had just returned to the temple and told Xuanyu Zhenren about the matter. Xuanyu Zhenren couldn't sit still anymore and said he would come to see everything, so Yun Yan followed him back to Linglan Mountain.

Yun Yan was still holding the little chicken in his arms. He was worried about leaving the little chicken to others to take care of. Besides, Ning Helan had told him to take care of it before, so he had to take good care of the little chicken.

The little chicken was still asleep, and its pink Hello Kitty clothes were torn. Yun Yan made it a white cinnamon dog hoodie. Yun Yan didn't know what others thought of it, but in his eyes, the Chongming bird looked good in anything.

Everyone looked around. The miasma around them had reached a certain concentration. In this air, a Taoist priest with less experience might not last more than three minutes. The ground was covered with waist-high rotten mud, and it was also very poisonous. If the skin came into direct contact with it, it would definitely rot. Thanks to the barrier opened by Xuan Yu Zhenren, everyone could stand here safely.

Above such a large swamp, there was a large snake that was more than ten meters long and two or three meters wide. The snake's pupils were glowing with a faint cold light, and it was looking at everyone with a long snake tongue.

"This... this monster... is so big..."

"Could this be the legendary hook snake?"

"Have you got your cell phone? Take a picture quickly."

The young Taoist priests who followed were amazed. They had no idea how dangerous this ancient monster was, so they took out their cell phones and started taking pictures of the hook snake.

"Hiss!" The hook snake sprayed a thick mist at everyone. Xuan Yu Zhenren looked back at the young Taoist priests, and they calmed down.

"Uncle Master Ning!" Mingxu was very surprised when he saw Ning Guohua lying on the ground. When he saw Ning Helan who had transformed into a demon in front of him, his eyes widened. "Ning Helan?"

"Ning Helan!" Yunyan couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Ning Helan's appearance. Ning Helan had transformed into a demon? ! How could it be possible!

"Master, look over there, Ning Helan...he has transformed into a demon, right?" Mingxu said.

"Impossible! Ning Helan is so powerful, how could he transform into a demon!" Yunyan retorted. He had seen Ning Helan's abilities in the past few days, and he had already become a fan of Ning Helan. He was unwilling to believe the fact that Ning Helan had transformed into a demon.

Xuanyu Zhenren looked at Ning Helan carefully, waved the dust in his hand, and several balls of light flew towards Ning Helan. Ning Helan was alert and quickly retreated to the back, away from Ning Guohua.

"Go, rescue your uncle Ning first." Xuanyu Zhenren said.

"Yes!" The two young Taoists hurriedly ran out of the barrier, and then went to help Ning Guohua up. After bringing Ning Guohua back to Xuanyu Zhenren, everyone found that Ning Guohua was seriously injured.

Zhenren Xuanyu squatted down and felt Ning Guohua's pulse, frowning. Mingxu asked worriedly beside him: "How is Uncle Ning?"

"External injuries are not a problem, but his internal organs are in disorder. All his internal organs are damaged, and several meridians are broken... Old Ning, what happened just now?"

Ning Guohua coughed a few times and briefly explained what happened just now. In order to avoid hurting Ning Helan, he forced his magic power back into his body. Not only did he suffer internal injuries, but also his spiritual meridians.

Xuan Yu Zhenren pointed his finger at the center of Ning Guohua's brow, and used some magic power to protect his heart and internal organs. Then he slowly said, "Old Ning, you need to rest well and stop using magic power. I think your spiritual veins are almost broken..."

The young Taoist priests beside him all showed regretful expressions. If the spiritual veins were broken, it would be equivalent to not being able to use magic power in the future.

"This monster is too despicable! Using Ning Helan as a shield! Bah!" Yun Yan cursed angrily, and several other young Taoist priests nodded repeatedly.

"But Xiao Lan..." Ning Guohua was not worried about himself now, but Ning Helan over there.

Xuanyu Zhenren stood up and looked at Ning Helan. Although Ning Helan now looked like a demon, he still felt a little different.

The hook snake turned several circles in the air angrily, stirring up a gust of wind that made it impossible for people to open their eyes: "You stinky Taoists! What are you doing here!"

"Evil beast! You were beaten to the point of losing all your cultivation back then, and now you dare to come out and cause trouble!" Mingxu pointed at the hook snake and cursed.

"Hiss... stinky Taoist priest, stop showing off in front of me. I was careless at the beginning and failed to kill Ning Guohua. Today, I will not only kill Ning Guohua, but also kill you one by one, and none of you will escape!"

The hooked snake roared, and the ground shook for a while. A large amount of poisonous water continued to flow out of the swamp, and the miasma spread faster and faster.

For a while, Linglan Mountain turned into a poisonous mountain. The villagers at the foot of the mountain thought they would be fine if they stayed at home, but the poisonous mist almost surrounded the village. They were panicked and didn't know what to do for a while.

Fortunately, some Taoist priests suddenly appeared at this time and told them that they were Taoist priests from the neighboring Tong'an City. Their own Xuanyu Zhenren had predicted that there would be trouble here, so he asked his disciples to lead everyone to evacuate Linglan Mountain first.

"I will kill you, and the people down the mountain. I will kill 100 people today, and 1,000 people tomorrow. I will kill all of you stinky Taoist priests!" The hooked snake shouted, and a piece of scale flew out of its body. The scale turned into a sword and flew into Ning Helan's hand.

Ning Helan took a look at the sword in his hand. The sword body was a poisonous purple-blue color, and it was surrounded by a thick poisonous gas. The edge was extremely sharp, and anyone who touched it would die immediately.

"Not only will I kill you, I will also let Ning Helan kill you. Isn't he the proud son of heaven among your Taoist disciples? Haha... then I will let you see what it feels like to be killed by your own proud son of heaven!" Hooked Snake shouted angrily, "Ning Helan, come on!"

"..." Ning Helan turned the poison sword in a circle in his palm.

Ming Xu over there was very angry: "If it weren't for the fact that God is merciful, Uncle Ning would have spared your life. If I had known that you would never repent, I would have destroyed your soul!"

"Hahahaha... come and try if you have the guts!" Hooked Snake laughed wildly, "But, are you really willing to lay a hand on him? Isn't he your treasure...?"

"Swish!"

Suddenly there was a sound of a sword blade breaking through the air, and the Hooked Snake, who had been chattering non-stop, suddenly stopped talking.

Everyone was surprised to see Ning Helan, who had been motionless, thrust the poisoned sword into the throat of the hook snake. The hook snake seemed to be immobilized. It lowered its eyes to look at the sword at its throat, and then moved its eyes to Ning Helan: "..."

"You are really, too noisy..." Ning Helan's pleasant and normal voice came.

"Xiao Lan..." Ning Guohua stood up excitedly, and Yun Yan almost covered his mouth in surprise. This was Ning Helan's usual voice.

"Ning..." The blood vessels of the hook snake were cut off. When it moved, blood flowed back and gushed out of its mouth, making a gurgling sound.

When the hooked snake saw Ning Helan's face clearly, its pupils shrank into a line, and its eyes were filled with astonishment.

Ning Helan's original snake pupils had returned to normal round pupils, and his originally misty eyeballs were now glowing, as sacred and beautiful as a gem from the deep sea. The snake scales on his face gradually disappeared, and the demonic aura on his body also weakened a lot.

"..." Hook Snake and Ning Helan stared at each other. Ning Helan pulled out the poison sword and blood immediately gushed out of the wound on Hook Snake. "Bang!" Hook Snake fell from the air and hit the ground with a dull sound.

The hook snake twisted its body in pain on the ground, its eyes fixed on Ning Helan with evil intent: "How is it possible...you swallowed my inner elixir, how is it possible..."

"To be honest, your inner elixir is disgusting." Ning Helan covered her chest, "It's a pity that I can't spit it out now."

The hook snake was furious: "You! You have at least two or three thousand years of my cultivation after swallowing this inner elixir! You actually said it is disgusting!"

Ning Helan blinked and looked innocent: "It's not that I wanted to swallow it myself."

The hook snake: Y%#%...%!!!

"Xiao Lan... Xiao Lan!" Ning Guohua was surprised and happy to see Ning Helan return to normal, and shouted Ning Helan's name loudly.

Ning Helan looked back at Ning Guohua, then smiled slightly: "Grandpa, please wait for me for a while, this will be over soon."

"Ning Helan... Ning Helan, are you okay?!" Yun Yan was also surprised and happy. Ning Helan nodded to him, and Yun Yan happily hugged the chicken brother and turned around.

Mingxu next to him was not as happy as Ning Guohua and Yun Yan. His brows were tightly locked. It was the first time he saw Ning Helan in such a state: "Master, this... Ning Helan, what's going on?"

Master Xuanyu stroked his long beard. He did not immediately answer Mingxu's words, but just quietly observed Ning Helan over there.

Especially those eyes. When Ning Helan was born, Xuan Yu Zhenren saw Ning Helan for the first time, and he told Ning Guohua: "Old Ning, this child is not simple."

Just as Xuan Yu Zhenren said, Ning Helan's spiritual veins are different from those of ordinary children. Whether it is the abnormally sharp perception or the inherent spiritual power, it is more abundant than others. If this child is well cultivated, maybe... he can achieve great things.

But later, Xuan Yu Zhenren returned to the Taoist temple and read a hexagram for Ning Helan. The hexagram showed two pieces of information, one good and one bad.

One piece of information is that Ning Helan's identity is indeed not simple, and it seems that she has some connection with a certain god; the other piece of information is that Ning Helan had a great disaster when she was five years old.

Just when he was hesitating whether to tell Ning Guohua about this news, he didn't expect that Ning Guohua also got to know about this.

After Ning Guohua told Ning Xuechen and Fang Shuyu about the matter, the two of them were very open-minded. Since Ning Helan was destined to have a disaster, they should face it. No matter what difficulties it was, the family would face it together.

But...

it was not what everyone expected.

Xuanyu Zhenren remembered that Ning Helan had never come to the Taoist temple since that day. Occasionally, when he talked to Ning Guohua and saw Ning Helan's videos and photos in his hands, he found that Ning Helan's eyes were misty.

At first, I thought there was something wrong with Ning Helan's eyes, but later I heard from Ning Guohua that he sealed his own spiritual veins.

"After all, the death of Xuechen and Shuyu was a huge blow to him."

Because of this, Xuanyu Zhenren sighed again and again.

Coming back to his senses from the past, Xuanyu Zhenren now saw that Ning Helan's eyes were deep and bright, and it was like seeing the vast and boundless deep sea at a glance.

In this evil and dim miasma, these eyes were like gems, shining continuously.

"What beautiful eyes..." the little Taoist priest next to him exclaimed.

"I've only seen this kind of eyes in games." Another little Taoist priest said.

Yun Yan had thought Ning Helan was good-looking before, and her eyes were even more beautiful. Now her glowing eyes were even more... amazing.

The hooked snake stared at Ning Helan with resentment: "Ning Helan, you actually used my snake scales to attack me?!"

Ning Helan curled the corners of his mouth and smiled brightly: "Then I don't have anything else in my hand."

Then he crushed the hard snake scales with one hand, lowered his eyes to look at the hooked snake on the ground, with a cold light in his eyes, and his tone suddenly dropped to freezing point: "Do you think I don't want to stab you with other things?"
