The southern city of Chang'an is a noble place, and the small lakeside house is even more the residence of the nobles. Those who are qualified to live in such a place are either rich or noble. Although the tea master Yan Suqing is not allowed to be in the court, he is still among the upper circles of celebrities.

There is still a bit of fame. The previous deadly battle in the small building near the lake had already alarmed other residents by the lake. When it was discovered that the head of the tea master Yan Suqing had been chopped off, the Yulin Army of the Chang'an Prefecture immediately began a serious investigation.

Editing work.

Jiu Ge directly erased the traces of Ning Que's small house by the lake that night. Although Ning Que was covering his face at the time, who can be sure that no clues were left behind?

Looking at it, it really does exist.

A tattered coat and a small scrap of cloth.

Jiuge waved his hand, and the two things disappeared without a trace.

Although this swordsman died immediately after death, Suzaku moved again after death, and this swordsman was really not an ordinary person.

The dead swordsman was once a document appraiser for the military. But few people know that he studied under Xiling, and that the hand sword techniques he practiced came from the South Gate of Haotian Dao.

The South Gate of Haotian Dao doesn't care whether the sword master dies or not, but his death happened to be too coincidental. He happened to be killed by Ning Que on the day when Suzaku moved, which will inevitably make people suspicious.

Fortunately, Jiu Ge did a perfect job of erasing Ning Que's traces as much as possible.

Of course, most of them have been burned by Suzaku's fire.

······

The second day, the old library.

Chen Pipi came anyway and gave Tongtian Pill to Ning Que.

The Tongtian pills dissipated very slowly, but were absorbed by the human body very quickly. When the last trace of the medicinal power melted into the sea of ​​Ningque Qi and the snow-capped mountains, he woke up. At this time, the morning light had already risen outside the old library.

Ning Que leaned against the wall tiredly and said weakly: "Everything has a cause and effect, a reason and a reason for its existence. Master Haotian, you brought me to this world, and I knew you wouldn't just watch.

I die."

"It's not Master Haotian, it's this genius. I can't help but watch you die." Chen Pipi, who was leaning on the wall not far from Ning Que, said angrily, "You have stepped into the underworld with one foot."

That guy didn’t figure out who he was thanking after he woke up.”

"Is there something wrong with your voice?" Although he had just woken up, Ning Que was still confused, "I remember that this was not the voice I heard when I was unconscious."

"What do you mean?" Chen Pipi also became more energetic.

"I seemed to hear a voice before I fell into coma..." Ning Que tried to recall, frowning and said, "It's a little blurry, it should be an illusion."

"You loser, this genius saved you, but you are still struggling with such a non-nutritious issue as whether to have a voice or not." Chen Pipi rolled his eyes, "If it weren't for this genius, you would have been turned into a corpse!

”

"Then thank you Brother Genius for saving me." Ning Que cupped his hands towards Chen Pipi to express his gratitude, "But then again, how did you heal this injury?"

Chen Pipi moved her fat body, took a few steps forward, put her hands on her waist to stretch her sore body, and smiled contemptuously.

"I have told you many times that I am a rare genius in the world. If your minor injury were to be seen by an ordinary doctor, he would definitely have you lie down in the coffin. But for this genius, it is just a slight wave of his hand.

It’s just a little thing about the sleeves.”

"If it weren't for the absence of Ninth Senior Brother, I should have asked Ninth Senior Brother to save you last night." Chen Pipi muttered at the end.

However, Fatty has always believed that he is a peerless genius that is rare to see in a century, so he has been demanding himself with the demeanor of a genius since he was a child. He envies the demeanor of all his senior brothers, and the most important thing is to be calm and calm.

Last night, in order to cure Ning Que, he gave away a precious pill that was hard to find in the world. But since he had already given it away, insisting on it would seem a bit like a favor. This was seriously inconsistent with his aesthetic taste, so he

He didn't explain the details, he just waved his sleeves and seemed unconcerned.

Chen Pipi turned to look at Ning Que and suddenly made a request: "Can I see your big black umbrella?"

Ning Que was silent for a moment, then looked at Chen Pipi: "I don't have the strength, you can take it yourself."

This time Chen Pipi was stunned. He looked at Ning Que's face and was silent for a moment. He then bent down his fat body with difficulty and held the handle of the big black umbrella.

It was slightly cold when I got it. The handle of the umbrella should be some kind of common wood in the north. I don’t know what the dark umbrella surface is coated with, it looks extremely greasy, but there is nothing else.

Before Chen Pipi could say anything, a breeze blew by, and a figure appeared in front of the two of them.

"Senior Brother Ninth." Chen Pipi looked up at the person who suddenly appeared in front of him, and shouted in surprise.

"We meet again, Mr. Jiu. Please forgive me for my physical inconvenience and my inability to salute." Ning Que reluctantly stood up and bowed his hand to Jiu Ge.

Jiuge waved his hand and said it was okay, but stared at Ning Que and said, "How does it feel to face a practitioner alone for the first time?"

Ning Que was also shocked when he heard this, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only pretend to reply: "I don't know what Mr. Jiu is talking about."

Jiuge didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

Ning Que was a little panicked by his gaze: "Mr. Jiu, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Nothing, just a casual question." After Jiuge finished speaking, he added, "Last night, a swordsman died in the small lakeside building in the south city of Chang'an. He used to be from the army."

"Of course, that kind of garbage will die when it dies, but after he died, Suzaku woke up, you say it was a coincidence or not."

Ning Que lowered his head to hide the cold glint in his eyes: "Then please tell me, Mr. Jiu, what does this matter have to do with me?"

Jiuge looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile, and said, "You have many sword wounds on your body. Although the bleeding has stopped, they were healed by fire and are not old wounds."

"The sword master died early yesterday morning, and the Suzaku statue on the long street woke up. You suffered so many sword wounds, but there was not a drop of blood on your body. The wounds were all burned by invisible flames. That can only mean one thing."

Chen Pipi on the side was also stunned: "It means that the swordsman was killed by you, a good-for-nothing, and the person who set Suzaku on fire with nameless fire was also because of you?"

Ning Que also gave a wry smile and replied: "Mr. Jiu won't hand me over to the police if he tells you, right?"

"If you were handed over to the official, you should be in the prison of the Ministry of Justice now, not the academy." Jiuge shook his head and said.

Ning Que breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked at Jiu Ge warily and said, "Mr. Jiu, we have almost never met before Chunfeng Pavilion. Why do you want to help me?"

"I said, this is a gamble, and it's a gamble you can't refuse." Jiuge chuckled and said, "I am the banker, and you can only be a gambler."

"No matter what, I owe Mr. Jiu a favor."

"Let's go." Jiuge nodded, turned and left the old library.

······

Chen Pipi looked at Ning Que, sighed, and said, "You are really lucky."

"You, a genius from Xiling, actually think I'm lucky?" Ning Que couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't look at me like that." The fat man shrugged, "I'm just seeking truth from facts. Meeting Ninth Senior Brother may be the greatest blessing in your life."

"What do you mean?" Ning Que also didn't understand. "I know your senior brother is very strong. Wen Neng taught us Bingshe, a bunch of losers, and Wu Neng killed everyone in Xiling. But it's strange. Your senior brother made trouble in Xiling three years ago.

It’s so big, you don’t mind at all?”

After saying that, he looked at Chen Pipi a little strangely.

"So what?" Chen Pipi sighed, "Let me tell you, in our academy, from the master, to the senior brothers, to all the senior brothers and sisters, including me, almost no one likes Xiling. Otherwise, you think, I

Why are you here?"

"But what? They are willing to sincerely accept me, an orthodox Xiling native, so the academy is really a good place."

"As for what Xiling is like, you will naturally know when you go there in the future. The Taoist Gate is okay, but the temple outside... is really rubbish."

When Ning Que heard this, he also yearned for the second floor. At the same time, he also became curious about the Xiling mentioned by Chen Pipi.

"As for why you are blessed to know the Ninth Senior Brother, do you know how long it has been since the Ninth Senior Brother started practicing?"

"How long?"

Chen Pipi stretched out the index finger of his right hand and gestured: "It's all planned, this year will be exactly nine years."

"Then what is the current state of your Ninth Senior Brother?"

"I don't know." Chen Pipi also spread his hands in a rogue manner.

"I don't know! How could you not know?" Ning Que was also surprised.

"Originally, I knew it. About a month or two ago, Ninth Senior Brother just became aware of his destiny, but now, I really don't know." Chen Pipi shrugged, "If I am a genius, then Ninth Senior Brother is more talented than me.

We need talented people."

"A genius is still a genius, isn't he a monster?"

"The monster is the eldest brother, and the ninth brother is still a little behind. After all, the ninth brother's calligraphy is a weak point, and his bad calligraphy is really shameful. But in swordsmanship, Liu Bai is probably not as good as the senior brother now."

Ning Que was also speechless. Although he didn't know who the senior brother he was talking about was, he was sure of what Chen Pipi said.

Although he has never seen Liu Bai's sword skills, he is definitely not weak if he can be hailed as a swordsman. However, Ning Que has seen Jiu Ge's sword skills. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is shocking and makes ghosts and gods cry. If it were not for his bad handwriting,

I guess Jiu Ge would be perfect.

Chen Pipi knew that Ning Que had many doubts, but now was not the time to tell him. There were many rules in the back mountain, and the ninth senior brother was no longer afraid that the second senior brother might not care about so many rules, but Chen Pipi was not good at it. If he broke the rules, the second senior brother would

Senior brother's "rules" are no joke.

Compared with the rules of the second senior brother, the rules of the academy are not too gentle.

"It's not time for you to know this now. I will tell you when you can enter the second floor."

Ning Que understood that Chen Pipi couldn't tell him because of the academy's rules, but he couldn't even practice cultivation, so how could he enter the second floor?

Ning Que didn't know that he was now able to practice. Moreover, because of Jiu Ge's sword last time and Chen Pipi's Tongtian Wanzi, Ning Que now had thirteen orifices open to him, which could be said to be better than ordinary ones.

A practitioner must be a genius.
