The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

The sycamore tree fell very quietly, and occasionally a few dog barks could be heard, echoing in the doorway on the autumn night.

The nearby residents who had worked hard all day were already sleeping sweetly at this moment. Occasionally, the faint light of lanterns swayed uneasily in the bleak autumn wind.

Ding Ning walked into his bedroom in the deepest courtyard.

Changsun Qianxue appeared behind Ding Ning. She frowned slightly, and her eyes fell on Ding Ning's chest, sensing the completely different changes in the energy of his five internal organs.

"Baiyangdong has a technique that can solve my premature aging syndrome, and the effect is immediate, and the five qi are under control."

Although he was very worried about Changsun Qianxue secretly following the people in Yunshui Palace and felt that the risk was too great, Ding Ning was still very happy when he thought of today's major harvest and said sincerely: "How well does this technique match the Nine Death Silkworms? Definitely not under the ‘Continuing Heavenly Divine Technique’.”

"If it is not under the 'Continuing Heaven Divine Art', it can replace its function." Changsun Qianxue was silent for a moment and said: "So you no longer need to participate in the Minshan Sword Club."

Ding Ning nodded.

"In this case, your plan is much ahead of schedule." Changsun Qianxue was obviously in a much better mood and said: "As long as we win the Gushan Sword Hidden, you and I can leave Changling and break away from those princes and chief ministers. Sight."

Just like Mr. Zhao Si of Jianlu and Bai Shanshui of Yunshuigong, they gave up their identity and household registration and became a "great treason" in the eyes of the Qin Dynasty. They silently cultivated to the peak of the Seventh Realm, even entered the Eighth Realm, and then fought back.

"It's not that simple." Ding Ning replied seriously: "Under the current circumstances, it is actually very difficult to obtain the Gushan Jianzang. The key is not to let it fall into the hands of Yuan Wu and Zheng Xiu."

"Besides, there is one more important thing."

"The Great Floating Water Prison."

"Dafu Water Prison?" Changsun Qianxue was slightly startled and said coldly: "You want to save Lin Zhuojiu."

Qin destroyed three dynasties, and Bashan Sword Field was recognized as the strongest sect in the world. Lin Zhuojiu was the number two figure in Bashan Sword Field. He was recognized as the best strategist in the world and the smartest person. His prestige once far surpassed that of Yuan Wu, Zheng Xiu and others.

At that time, many people even directly called him the "Great Qin Military Advisor". Although his strength was not as good as that of Yan Xinlan, Mo Bieli, Li Guanlan, etc., in the eyes of other dynasties, his threat level was higher than others, second only to " "The most powerful sword in the world" Wang Jingmeng.

After the strongest swords in Bashan Sword Field were broken and the entire sect was wiped out, in the eyes of almost everyone, Lin Zhuojiu, who was not very strong, should have been dead long ago.

However, according to the news that Ding Ning received a few days ago, Lin Zhuojiu is still alive and is imprisoned in the most heavily guarded floating water prison in Changling. He has been imprisoned in the dark and dark water prison for many years, smelling himself. The body smells rotten and lingers.

Over the years, Zheng Xiu, Yan Xiang and others have been trying to squeeze out the secrets of those people from Lin Zuojiu's mouth.

As a recognized strategist among those at the Bashan Sword Field, many things were arranged by Lin Zuojiu, even though in the end because of that person's death and the betrayal of many people, everything became a mess and was uncontrollable.

But everyone firmly believed that he must have controlled something and left something behind for those people.

He is a treasure in his own right.

Even if years of interrogation and torture yield nothing, Lin Zhuojiu's life can be used to lure out the remnants of Bashan Sword Field when necessary.

In fact, after learning this important secret, Ding Ning had already decided that even if he took huge risks, he would rob the Floating Water Prison and rescue the only surviving brother from that time.

"If you want to find out the information about the Great Floating Water Prison, you might want to start from Mo Qinggong, who is in charge of this area in the Shendu Supervisor. At least, you have to find out who is currently in charge of the Water Prison."

Thinking of the suffering that Lin Zhuojiu might encounter after his fall, Ding Ning's eyes dimmed imperceptibly, and he said to himself: "In the process of collecting intelligence, we can also try to learn from Mu Zi back then and Liang Lian now. The General is collecting some old debts.”

He knew very well that Changsun Qianxue didn't care about things other than cultivation. He was just telling her this way to leave some impression on her so that she could make a quick decision when she needed to think about it.

"Finally, even if we have to evacuate Changling, our plan should be flawless so as not to involve Baiyangdong, who has given me so much help."

After a pause, Ding Ning added seriously: "Speaking of which, when I left in the evening, Zhao Qing assigned me several tasks. They mainly asked me to act as a middleman, deliver letters, and reach some agreements with Wang Taixu's two-story building. trade."

He took out a transparent crystal talisman surrounded by extremely cold air from his sleeve, and briefly explained: "As a reward, this protective talisman can release the power of the five realms once or twice, and can Recharge."

This means that after the energy is exhausted, Changsun Qianxue can be recharged secretly and used multiple times.

"Then you should complete the task of Baiyang Cave first." Changsun Qianxue did not ask further questions. This was an agreement that she and Ding Ning had formed naturally over the years.

After a moment of silence, she said without emotion: "Now you no longer have to control the speed of your cultivation. You will soon reach the third and even fourth realms. Then you will be much safer when walking outside Wutongluo. "

"To be precise, being in Baiyang Cave, which is under the care of two seventh-level masters, and who have shown a rare talent for cultivation, is my safety guarantee."

Ding Ning smiled slightly and added: "In the next few days, while speeding up practice as much as possible, I have to re-formulate our plans. Maybe Baiyang Cave can bring us more surprises."

"The cooperation between Wang Taixu and Zhao Qing on the second floor must also be taken into account, and more adjustments are needed..."

Changsun Qianxue's eyes were cold. She was finally not interested in what Ding Ning said, because to her, how to adjust Ding Ning's plan, his cultivation level was still too low, and even whether he could achieve his plan was all up to him. things.

She only had one thing to do in Changling, which was to overtake all the practitioners who were ahead of her.

All she has to consider is her sword and her cultivation. She can even stay away from this wine shop every day. She is the simplest.

She was just as simple before.

Some time later, after the oil lamp was blown out, the sound of silkworms sounded in the darkness.

The sound of silkworms became more and more intensive, but it was not the sound like eating mulberry leaves, but countless rustling sounds, like spinning silk.

Ding Ning's body began to shine with a faint light.

It was as if countless invisible silkworms crawled to the surface of his body and began to spin silk.

Countless filaments visible to the naked eye formed outside his body.

Each of these filaments seems to be the true essence of a practitioner above the three realms. It is like drawn from condensed liquid and contains powerful power.

What's unimaginable is that the colors of each filament are so mixed that it looks like many different colors of essence are spliced ​​together.

Colorful silk threads shuttled around Ding Ning's body, gradually forming a huge cocoon.

Ding Ning was silent inside, as if even his body temperature had disappeared.

……

When most people in Changling were already deep asleep, there was still a faint light in an inconspicuous two-story ancient building in the south of the city.

Next to a few small oil lamps that flickered on and off, stood a gray-shirted swordsman with a respectful expression, standing in a posture of waiting. Opposite him was a thirty-year-old man who looked a little sickly and was reading documents under the light. man.

This man was wearing a gray cotton robe that seemed a little thick in this weather. His face was more handsome than most people in Changling, but he seemed a little afraid of the cold despite wearing a cotton robe that was already too thick. , The figure is a little shrinking.

There are already wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and there are wrinkles in the middle of his brows, which makes him seem to be thinking about something troublesome all the time even if he is not thinking about anything.

Such a person must have a lot of things to think about and worry about on a daily basis.

He is Wang Taixu, one of the leaders of Jingjianghu in Changling City. The two-story building he owns is just a rental business that occupies a small area in the south of the city, but secretly he has a lot of business in flower houses and gambling houses. Greater power.

Ding Ning joined Baiyangdong precisely because of his recommendation.

Last night, after wiping out Jinlintang, who was running the caravan and escort business, and taking 20% ​​of Leiyutang's business, the influence of Wang Taixu and his two-story building also greatly increased, and the influence of all the people in Changling City In his eyes, it was already soaring into the sky.

However, Wang Taixu himself knew very well that any low-level practitioner, no matter how high he flew, was still too humble in the eyes of the real dignitaries in Changling.

Over the years, the two-story building has been peacefully mixed in the muddy water at the bottom of the pond. It is careful not to stand under the door of any noble person or become a dog raised by a powerful family, so that it can better settle down and stand firm.

But when he faced Jin Lintang, who secretly took refuge with a certain big shot in the military, and counterattacked after suppressing the opponent with the help of Du Qingjiao in Baiyangdong, the current situation was completely different.

In a sense, Two-Floor has become an affiliated force of Baiyangdong in Changling City. Although this is not the case in fact, it is just a one-time assistance with the payment of funds, but as long as other people think so, then it will It is a fact that is difficult to change.

"Buy a large number of common flowers, plants, and medicinal materials, and post some notices in the streets of Changling that they can heal old injuries and treat difficult and complicated diseases? Are you going to open a medical clinic? But why do you want to do it as secretly as possible? "

"Is this just what Baiyangdong wants me to do?" After carefully examining the documents that Ding Ning asked the gray-robed swordsman Jing Mozong to bring over, Wang Taixu couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart. feel.

Under the dim light, he opened a small bag handed over by Jing Mo Sect and poured out the contents.

They were crystal clear pearls and gems of various colors. Their value far exceeded Wang Taixu's imagination. If they were used in the fish market transaction, they could definitely buy the life of a Five Realm practitioner like him.

Although these jewelry are just imitations made by Zhao Qing using high-temperature smelting ore, few people should be able to tell them apart. In fact, it is more likely that they are sold at a higher price because of their high quality. In an instant, Wang Taixu's expression became cautious, because such a large fee meant that Baiyangdong's move was by no means a trivial matter, but a real effort to purchase medicinal materials and promote publicity. .

At the same time, he suddenly discovered that the inside of this small bag was actually engraved with a few lines of deeply hidden small words.

There is no doubt that this should be a more secret instruction from Baiyang Cave, and it is strictly forbidden to leak the content:

Using the cover of the first two things, without attracting anyone's attention, collect the detailed addresses of all gardeners in Changling, and publish a message in many notices that guarantees that the sword wound on the face can be cured;

Another thing is to find someone to contact a priest of Silver Moon Gambling House privately, saying that he is sure to cure his mother's serious illness.

Although Wang Taixu had never personally experienced the things that big shots entrusted to the people of the world, Wang Taixu had heard a lot about them. For him, as long as his brothers were not required to sacrifice their lives, it was nothing.

After thinking secretly for a moment, Wang Taixu was about to store the prepaid fees, but suddenly he saw that the lines of text in the bag were twisted and changed into another form:

If you encounter a retaliatory attack by a noble in the military recently, just lighting this bag may set the stage for a battle.

He solemnly put the pearls and gems back into it, and put the bag away next to him. Wang Taixu waved his hand to Jing Mo Sect to retreat outside the building. He needed to rest and sleep. He would have people gather early tomorrow morning and issue some precautionary orders. .

Looking at the huge houses with towering attics in Changling, which were obviously owned by the powerful, and the layers of shadows they cast, he couldn't help but murmur to himself before walking to his bedroom:

"We, the little fish and shrimps in the market, are weak and have no support, but if someone does cross the line, we still have the means to fight back."

At this time, on the top of an ordinary house near the two floors, a man in black clothes with a stern face and no trace of time looked at the ancient building with the lights out from a distance, and said with emotion:

"If you can survive this calamity, you will no longer be a small fish or shrimp, but one of the influential figures in Changling. With the value of training, you may be able to be used by me as a pawn in my revenge plan. .”

"Sometimes, when you really get into the eyes of a big shot, all you get is more inability to control yourself, like walking on thin ice." The man in black shirt's recalling eyes flashed away, vaguely revealing a piece of information that came from the sky, but it was... Covering everything, like the darkness of the heaviest night.

Although this person is only wearing ordinary black silk clothes, in terms of nobility, there are not many people in the whole Changling Mausoleum who are better than him, because this kind of nobility is not only the accumulation of countless years of fine clothes and fine food, but also countless years of nobility. Life and death take away the natural accumulation.

He is now the leader of the old dignitaries in Changling. He represents the almost extinct family class after the Qin Dynasty's reform. He is a shady big shot.

Most people in Changling don't know of his existence. Even those who know that people like him exist don't know his real name and just habitually refer to him as "Night Owl".

Although he was somewhat invisible, he was still able to survive well after several bloody battles, so that Shendu Supervisor and Supervisor Tiansi could not find any trace at all. Then one can imagine his cultivation and methods.

Almost no one knows that Ye Xiao was originally born into a family of old powerful people, but like Wang Taixu, he followed the path of the marketplace. After various battles, he gradually became one of the countless people who hang high in Changling. The black moon in the human heart.

I don't know why I came here to take a look at the two floors. Like Wang Taixu, Ye Xiao looked deeply at the large mansion of the new dignitaries in Changling in the distance and stood there for a long time.

Then, pure black dark sword energy condensed on his side, like two black wings spread out, flying, and quickly disappeared into the night of Changling.

……

The dark night gradually passed, the morning fog disappeared slightly, and a faint light flew silently down from the clouds.

Various noises began to appear in the absolutely silent Baiyang Gorge.

Before the sky was bright, many students from Baiyang Cave had already appeared on many mountain paths in Baiyang Gorge.

According to the practice of practitioners, everything is quiet at night and the body needs to rest, which is a good time to practice meditation. After sunrise, everything is active, the temperature rises, and the flow of human qi and blood becomes strong. This is a good time to exercise your body and skills.

So under the dim light of the sky, some Baiyangdong students were climbing up the steep cliff with heavy loads, some were on the edge of the cliff, breathing heavily, using breathing techniques to strengthen their internal organs, and some were surrounded by cold light. , practicing swordsmanship hard.

This is a beautiful and prosperous scene.

It seemed that he was also feeling this. Below the tallest Taoist temple in Baiyang Cave, in a crevice in the cliff not far away, Zhao Qing slowly stepped out, stretched out his hand and pointed towards the sky above, and the clouds suddenly separated. , the sky suddenly became brighter, making the whole Baiyang Gorge a little brighter.

Behind her, between the cracks in the mountain that were usually covered by white clouds, there was a strange piece of flat land.

There are even three identical thatched cottages on the flat ground.

In front of the thatched cottage, on the flat ground with some soil, several vegetable fields were cultivated, and they were planted with mountain leeks.

The layout in the thatched cottage is extremely simple. There is only a bed by the window with the simplest bedding.

In front of the bed is a straw futon used for meditation. There is a fist-sized spring in the middle of the rocks under the futon.

The spring water fluctuates continuously like boiling, slowly releasing wisps of milky white spiritual energy from time to time.

Every ray of spiritual energy is like a small white sheep horn.

This is the best place to practice in Baiyang Cave. Inside the thatched cottage are the three small spiritual veins that are divided into three.

The spiritual energy exuded from the spiritual veins enters the body of the practitioner along with the breath and inhalation of the practitioner. It will have a great tonic effect, just like some elixirs, which can speed up the progress of practice.

But the most important thing is that these auras themselves are the purest products in the world, without any impurities, and will not have bad side effects like some elixirs.

However, at the level of moving mountains in the Seven Realms, the amount of breath that a master-level figure can take is too astonishing. The effect of such a small amount of pure spiritual energy provided by micro-spiritual veins on accelerating practice is negligible, and may not be as good as the top of a mountain where vitality circulates quickly. high places.

Zhao Qing's stay here is naturally not to rely on the power of the spiritual veins here, but for other purposes: to gather a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth to repair the damaged spiritual veins as before, and even upgrade them into medium-sized and large-sized spiritual veins. Understand the principles of its formation.

I saw her whole body floating up, sitting in the sky directly above the three thatched cottages, her body seemed to become ethereal, seemingly everywhere but nowhere to be found, as if she had become the incarnation of Baiyang Gorge, constantly absorbing Touching the vitality of heaven and earth in the far distance.

The first few rays of sunlight that fell in the early morning passed straight through Zhao Qing's body without leaving a single shadow, giving people a strange, transparent and ethereal feeling.

A series of transparent sword lights, like light and mist, kept hovering above her head, splitting and dividing, quickly stretching up, and finally penetrated into the clouds more than ten miles away, causing a large amount of heaven and earth energy to be sucked in. Gradually transformed into a fluffy state like soft white clouds.

If you look closely at the subtle changes in the sky, you will be surprised to find that many crystal streams in the clouds are like white silk threads weaving extremely complicated rune paths, leaving a grain of rune wherever they pass. Tiny ice crystal gel.

Different from the water droplets and ice crystals in ordinary clouds and mist, after being transformed by the sword energy controlled by Zhao Qingyuan, these regular ice crystal clouds are actually an aerogel state of black ice. Although the density is low, it is still sufficient. Floating in the air, it has a high intensity.

A sea of ​​clouds covers a radius of more than ten miles and is several miles thick. Although it does not look very eye-catching due to its high distance from the ground, its actual volume is much larger than the entire Changling City combined. If When all the black ice is gelled, it becomes an extremely cold mountain range suspended in the sky.

Not only can it provide Zhao Qing with almost endless ice-cold energy when she needs it, it can also be quickly solidified under her sword intention at any time, turning into millions of black ice flying swords. It fell rapidly from a high altitude, erupting with earth-shattering power.

The powerful sword technique of descending from a very high altitude and using the potential energy of gravity to increase the lethality has been practiced in the world of cultivation since ancient times. Today, Lingxu Sword Sect masters Gu Huai, Zhao Jianlu Zhao Si, and Jiaodong County Zheng Sha are all good at this technique;

Mo Shoucheng's "City Guard Sword" and Zheng Xiu's "Spark Fire Comet Tail Sword" can use their swords to attack enemies at great distances. In addition to understanding the mysteries of space, they should also have considerable research in this area.

And the clouds that look light but are actually weighing hundreds of millions of kilograms, once condensed into pure black ice, will undoubtedly be the largest and heaviest sword in the world, surpassing the previous heavy sword "Sword" in the world. "Mountain Sword", from a high position, the power of one strike is invincible.

Because clouds are everywhere and easy to cover up, they can be used as a trump card to reverse the battle situation at a critical moment.

In Zhao Qing's view, a further transformation of this would be to develop it into a huge multi-functional tactical platform, capable of everything including ice, water, clouds and rain, wind, thunder and lightning, and gathering of souls and light.

This may not be the largest magical weapon in history. Compared with some of the sect-protecting formations deployed in the eight ancient realms, its coverage is much smaller, but in terms of size, it is definitely the first in history.

The Yunshui Palace calls for wind and rain, using the ubiquitous clouds in the world as talismans, and the water potential between heaven and earth as the power of the sword. In addition to reaching the pinnacle of water control, it is also the sect that has the most control over the changes in clouds.

But even for the Baishanshui of Yunshui Palace, if one sees the magic of this sea of ​​clouds and the exquisite transformation of Zhao Qing, one will be amazed and think that she has surpassed all the ancestors of her family in this regard.

……

Having said all that, after the transformation progress was partially completed, what Zhao Qing originally wanted to use it to do was to assist in absorbing the vitality of the world and input it into the origin of the Baiyangdong spiritual vein to guide the birth of a new underground spiritual energy. channel and observe the repair effect of this move.

However, just as she sensed the subtle changes in the cracks in the mountain, she suddenly discovered that several strange auras were coming out of it, intertwined in some mysterious manner, and soon formed an unknown path leading to where. The deep portal of the place.

As her spiritual thoughts penetrated it and passed through a seemingly illusory passage, Zhao Qing was quite surprised to find that there was a silent world that was thousands of miles in diameter, giving her the same feeling as before. A similar feeling to the virtual cave.

In this not-so-big world, there are rocks and gravel everywhere, maintaining a state of absolute silence. There is no life at all, lifeless, and extremely desolate. The most eye-catching thing is the nine huge green lines that traverse this world. Mountains, meeting each other in the very center.

"Could it be that this is the induction stone related to the nine-tailed fox? It has actually evolved into the state of a world?" Zhao Qing's mind moved slightly, and thousands of bright beams of light had already shot into this dim space, spreading wantonly in it. The spread spread, increasing her perception.

Vaguely, Zhao Qing sensed that across this semi-real and semi-illusory "sensing stone world", there was a real and vibrant new space on the opposite side, which gave her a strange feeling with different rules. .

Perhaps what the other side leads to is actually another world?

Unlike what was expected, Xi Shi did not come to the same world as him. However, under the special connection of the induction stone structure, a space channel was opened to connect the two worlds?
