As a sister?

Shen Ning smiled mockingly to himself. He had known Qin Xianhui for so many years and naturally knew her benefits. How could he not be moved by her?

But...he might die in a world of demons and demons at some point - it is not appropriate after all.

The white snake hidden in the blue shirt seemed to be aware of Shen Ning's loss, showed its soul, and touched his cheek affectionately.

"We are going to Nanxiang in two days. It will probably take some time before we can come back." Shen Ning glanced at the little snake with fiery red patterns on its forehead and a white body, and said calmly: "I will take you with me tomorrow. Go to Jokhang Temple to see your mother."

When the little white snake heard this, it shook its tail and circled excitedly around Shen Ning several times.

Approaching the Tianshi Mansion, Shen Ning asked the white snake to hide it back in the oil-paper umbrella, and then used spiritual energy to cover its aura to prevent it from being detected by the formation in the manor.

Tianshi Mansion covers an area of ​​600 acres, and is composed of various courtyards and courtyards lined up in rows. There are various buildings in the courtyard, with the architectural style of Su-style gardens. After walking in, you will see waterside pavilions, pavilions and pavilions. The beauty is displayed before your eyes.

Along the way, Shen Ning met many familiar brothers, each carrying their bags and preparing to go on a long journey to slay demons.

After Shen Ning greeted each other, he dispersed on his own.

I don’t know how many people can come back alive after this parting. Fortunately, the disciples of Tianshi Mansion have already regarded the elimination of demons as their mission, and no one seems panicked or afraid.

During the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Jin Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao established three major institutions. The Qingyi Division was responsible for eradicating demons from the world; the Tianshi Mansion was responsible for magic, elixirs, and formations; and the Jokhang Temple was responsible for criminal methods, weapon refining, and sacrifices.

The powers and duties of each agency are clearly defined. However, in recent years, demon troubles have arisen all over the Shanxi Province. The Qingyi Division has been struggling to deal with them, so the Tianshi Mansion has taken the initiative to take on the control of demon troubles in some areas.

For this reason, many brothers and sisters have died over the years.

In the green bamboo forest where the Heavenly Master lives, many disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion who died from monster attacks are buried.

The Tsing Yi Division reported the matter of taking in the White Snake's soul to the Dragon Case. The Master probably already knew about it. Since he couldn't keep it a secret, Shen Ning simply took Xiao Bai to the green bamboo forest.

Most of the other Taoist residences in Tianshi Mansion have paved paths with gravel, but this section of the road in the Green Bamboo Forest has not been repaired and is still muddy.

Shen Ning was walking on the road and saw a 'senior brother' from a distance holding an umbrella to pay homage to the sages.

"Ning, I've met senior brother." Shen Ning stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Junior brother, aren't you going to Nanxiang?" This 'senior brother' was dressed in white and had a long sword on his waist. He looked handsome and had a particularly good-looking smile. "I came to Daoju, but I want to ask the master for some talismans. ?”

Shen Ning shook his head, "Senior Sister Shaoyao, if Senior Brother Qi knows that you are pretending to be him, I'm afraid he will have to spar with you again."

The "man" who was called Senior Sister stuck out his tongue playfully, took off the mask on his face, revealing his beautiful face, and muttered: "Humph, it's not like I can't beat him, I just let him go before, If you can, let him hit me!"

"Sister, Senior Brother Qi has passed away for a long time."

"Oh...that's it." Shaoyao seemed a little disappointed, but then he hugged Shen Ning's shoulders with a smile, "Junior brother, if you want a magic weapon and talisman, senior sister has it! The Tsing Yi Division's official document said it is only level C. It's just a monster, the magic weapon refined by Senior Sister will definitely keep you safe, and you will definitely not lie here to sleep like this idiot Qi Zirong."

Shen Ning "..."

Although Shaoyao's weapon-refining skills in Tianshi Mansion are not top-notch, they are pretty good. They are more than enough to deal with Class C monsters, but Shen Ning has already prepared these things.

Shen Ning said goodbye to her enthusiastic senior sister and went straight to the Taoist residence where Master lived. From a distance, she could smell the scent of medicine. It was a very ordinary tile-roofed house with a fence surrounding a courtyard. There was a dustpan on the courtyard. It was filled with dried elixirs, and a thin film of spiritual essence covered them to prevent them from getting wet by rain.

Shen Ning stood outside the courtyard gate and said respectfully: "Master, my disciple Shen Ning is here to pay my respects."

There was no response from the yard, so Shen Ning had to stand. After a long time, a cold voice came, "Come in."

"Squeak!" Shen Ning pushed open the wooden door. A woman wearing mink fur and white clothes was carving talismans with cinnabar. She had picturesque features and a curvy figure that could not be concealed even when wrapped in heavy clothes. Her cold temperament, Let her be like a thousand-year-old ice that makes people dare not approach her.

"You haven't been here for a long time, what's the matter?"

"A few days ago, a thousand-year-old white snake caused chaos in the Jokhang Temple. The Qingyi Division and the abbot of the Jokhang Temple jointly suppressed it under the Leiyin Pagoda." Shen Ning knelt on the ground and said, "The disciples found out that the white snake was looking for a son and entered the gods by mistake. Beijing, the young snake has been made into a magical weapon by the monks of the Jokhang Temple, and there is still some spiritual wisdom left. The disciple cannot bear it, and wants to beg the master to allow the disciple to take the magical weapon with him and reshape it in the future."

"Li Si was telling me about this matter in front of the emperor." The woman said calmly: "The two races have been hostile to each other for thousands of years. Did you know how much trouble you would have if you took in the evil spirit?"

"Reporting to Master... I know this." Shen Ning replied, "Under forced circumstances, I will leave the Heavenly Master's Mansion with the Bone Demon Umbrella."

Hearing Shen Ning's words, the woman's fingers that were drawing the talismans paused slightly, "You are extremely talented. If you practice more than a hundred times painstakingly, your future achievements may not be as good as those of your master. Before this, no one dared to be a disciple of the Celestial Master." The government is looking for trouble."

Shen Ning looked at the woman with moving eyes, "Disciple thanks Master."

"You made such an oath when I first picked you up in Donghuang Daze. I knew this day would come sooner or later, so just go ahead."

Outside Daoju, the thin spring rain had stopped, and the haze in the sky gradually dispersed. Shen Ning put away his oil-paper umbrella and walked on the forest path, feeling melancholy.

He is an orphan who grew up in Donghuang Daze where humans and demons live together. He has seen too many brutal fights between humans and demons, and since then he has vowed to end this thousand-year dispute.

It's just that the hatred between humans and monsters is too strong, and all he can do is try to change it bit by bit.

Rain dripped down the leaves of the forest. Passing by the green bamboo forest, Shen Ning saw Senior Sister Shaoyao still guarding Senior Brother Qi's grave. Her clothes were soaked by the rain, and her beautiful face didn't know whether it was rain or tears.

.....................

It was getting late, and you could see the setting sun falling between the mountains on the horizon in the distance, exaggerating half of the sky.

Shen Ning returned to his Taoist residence, made some simple food to fill his stomach, then changed into a white outfit and started practicing under the afterglow of dusk.

When a mortal opens up his Yuan Veins, he can make the spiritual energy of heaven and earth circulate endlessly in his body. This is the realm of enlightenment, that is, when he first enters the path of immortality, he is asked by Meng Tong.

When entering the Taoist realm, the spiritual energy in the body is limited, so it is impossible to practice mysterious magic techniques.

More people will choose combat techniques that consume less spiritual energy and add spiritual energy to their weapons in order to maximize their own strength.

Shen Ning is no exception. What he practices is the "Spiritual Flame Art", which is not a combat skill from the Tianshi Mansion, but was specially found for him by Qin Xianhui from the Sutra Pavilion.

It was created by Emperor Taizu Gao. It is said that Emperor Taizu used this fighting skill to defeat three people in the same realm without losing.

"Spiritual Flame Technique" is divided into seven levels. Shen Ning has only now reached the first level, converting spiritual energy into spiritual flames with huge damage power.

The blue flames danced on the tip of the gun, and every time Shen Ning waved, there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air, like a hidden dragon emerging from the abyss, unstoppable!

The spirit essence was constantly mobilizing to maintain the spirit flame. Beads of sweat oozed from Shen Ning's forehead, and his breath became disordered. However, compared with the previous pain, as if the body was hollowed out, now it has Much better.

After completing a set of marksmanship, Shen Ning inserted the spear into the wet ground. The spiritual flame on the tip of the spear had not dissipated, making a sizzling sound.

Compared with combat skills, the most powerful way to improve combat effectiveness is spells.

It's a pity that at my current level, even if I have practiced the technique, I still don't have enough spiritual energy to activate it.
Chapter completed!
