The evening breeze blows, and there is a faint green air on Wenchun Lake.
Seeing Jiang Ning's reaction, Su Zhao said: "You are right, Wu Jiudao's identity is more complicated than you thought. Fortunately, you did not kill him that day, otherwise there would be countless troubles later."
Jiang Ning felt a chill running down his spine, secretly glad that he was not reckless.
"Aunt Su taught you the right lesson, Jiang Ning has remembered it." Seeing that Su Zhao didn't mean to tell Wu Jiudao's identity, he couldn't help but ask: "I wonder if Aunt Su knows what Wu Yuan's identity is, and whether she keeps up with Qing Dao Yuan.
related?"
Su Zhao raised her eyebrows and praised: "You are quite clever. Yes, Wu Jiudao is indeed related to Shangqing Taoist Temple, but the specific relationship is not something you should know."
Jiang Ning was still eagerly waiting for Su Zhao to pull Wu Jiudao out. Unexpectedly, he suddenly lost interest after hearing such words.
"Yes, Jiang Ning has learned the lesson. I won't ask any questions. If there's nothing else, I won't disturb Aunt Su's rest." Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Ning was ready to leave.
"Wait a minute." Su Zhao stopped him and said, "I heard that you are now pregnant with the magical powers of Zhan Sect and Zhan Cang. Is this true or false?"
Jiang Ning said truthfully: "Really."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly froze and stared at Su Zhao with strange eyes.
The fight between Jiang Ning and Wu Jiudao was done in a room with the door closed. No one outside could see it, let alone know what magical powers he knew.
When Su Zhao opened his mouth, he mentioned the names Zhan Cang and Zhan Zong, which made people think a lot if they were true.
"It seems that not only Wu Jiudao in the courtyard has a complicated background, but Aunt Su, your background is also not simple..." Jiang Ning smiled at himself, bowed and guessed.
Su Zhao was surprised, and immediately knew that he had spilled the beans.
But there was no need to hide anything. She mentioned this because she wanted Jiang Ning to act carefully.
"The relationship between the five courtyards and the four sects is very complicated. If you decide to stay in Zhuozhou, it is best not to let outsiders know that you also possess the magic powers of other forces. It will not be good for you."
Su Zhao warned.
Although Jiang Ning didn't understand the deeper meaning, he still nodded and agreed honestly.
"Don't worry, Aunt Su, I will remember it."
"Besides, there is someone who wants to meet you, and I think you should also go and meet him."
Someone wants to see me... Jiang Ning asked doubtfully: "Who?"
A small building in a bamboo forest with gurgling water.
The bright moonlight, accompanied by the chirping of insects and birds, adds a sense of tranquility to this place.
Jiang Ning stopped outside the bamboo gate with a complicated expression.
"Are you here?" A long-lost familiar voice came from the small building.
Jiang Ning took a deep breath and said, "Here we come."
The bamboo door was opened from the inside, and the girl's moon-white skirt came into view.
With bright eyes and white teeth, and skin as white as snow, Wang Yan is no longer as domineering and lively as before, and her actions carry the elegance and indifference of a lady.
The two looked at each other in silence.
Once upon a time, they went together to participate in the Xun Examination, fought evil spirits in Jingping Village, and lived and died together. Now that they meet again, they have changed.
"Congratulations, you have established a foundation." Jiang Ning was the first to speak to break the silence.
Wang Yan's aura is calm, not as floating and ethereal as in the Fengchu realm, and it is obvious that she has built a foundation.
It seems that she has never slacked off in the academy!
Wang Yan's face was as cold as autumn water, and she said: "I can't compare to Senior Brother Jiang. We meet again after a few months, but you are already the strongest in the sect!"
I remember that when Jiang Ning first came to the academy, he was still a little chick who needed help from him when something happened. In just over half a year, he had already left him behind and could not even see his shadow.
Wang Yan didn't know whether she should be happy for him or sad for herself.
The two sat by the stream for a long time, and no one knew what they talked about.
On the second day, Wu Jiudao was waiting early in the lecture hall.
After a while, Jiang Ning also came.
"Wu Yuan, please." Jiang Ning said without any nonsense and went straight to the point.
There is nothing more important and urgent than breaking through in cultivation.
The same is true for Wu Jiudao. He also wants Jiang Ning to break through to Nascent Soul as soon as possible so that he can fulfill his wish.
Under his leadership, Jiang Ning quickly arrived at the back of Straw Hat Mountain.
Mountains are divided into yin and yang, and the yin side is where the great evil lies.
Jiang Ning had earlier viewed the entire mountain from the cliff in order to warm up Chen Juan and found the location of his evil position. Now that he saw Wu Jiudao leading him to the shade of the mountain, Jiang Ning couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Could it be that the place Wu Jiudao wanted to take him to was the mountain gate where the goddess was suppressed?
Jiang Ning shivered.
If so, he would rather not go!
Fortunately, the area beyond Shanyin was vast and Wu Jiudao did not lead him to his death.
After walking for about an hour, a stone house was looming in the bushes ahead.
The house is simple, with no doors or windows, and there are still a lot of fire marks on the bricks outside. If Wu Jiudao hadn't led him, it would have been a bit intimidating to come alone.
Seeing Wu Jiudao stop, Jiang Ning asked: "Is this it?"
Wu Jiudao nodded and said: "It's underneath this stone house, but I want to remind you that although I have never seen anything inside, I feel that there are other things inside."
Jiang Ning was looking at the stone house, and when he heard what he said, his hair suddenly stood up.
"You mean, there are other things inside, but you have never seen or encountered them." Jiang Ning asked with a confirming tone.
"Yes." Wu Jiudao said firmly.
"If you are afraid, you don't have to go in, but the golden elixir breakthrough to Nascent Soul requires the right time, place and people. There are many people who have stayed in the golden elixir realm and reached perfection throughout their lives. You have to..."
"I'll go in, you can start." Jiang Ning interrupted him and said.
No matter how dangerous it is, Jiang Ning is bound to win!
Now he knows very well that cultivators are destined to live and die, and once they embark on this path, they can never look back.
Either grit your teeth and move forward, or wait for trouble to come to you and then be chopped up with a knife. Jiang Ning will definitely not choose the latter.
And if he takes ten thousand steps back, even if he is willing to retreat now, Wu Jiudao will not let him go.
Through the conversation with Su Zhao last night, Jiang Ning knew very well the reasons for everything Wu Jiudao was doing now.
Not because he had already chosen himself as his successor, but because Jiang Ning was willing to agree to his request to visit Linlang Taoist Academy.
If it weren't for this, Wu Jiudao would definitely have found a way to get the powerful men from the Shangqing Taoist Academy to come forward and quickly kill him, the rebel who forced the palace.
Therefore, Jiang Ning had to enter the underground secret realm!
Wu Jiudao glanced at him with a meaningful look, then silently stepped forward into the stone house, waved his sleeves to blow away the weeds on the ground, revealing the two-leaf iron door below.
There are three locks on the ground door, plus eight two-finger-wide and one-inch-thick stainless steel buckles. It is impossible to open it from the inside.
Wu Jiudao took out the key from the mustard bag, opened the lock, took away the fine steel bolt and stepped back to the side, stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and said: "Jiang Yuan, please."
Jiang Ning stood motionless.
Wu Jiudao didn't rush when he saw this, and still maintained his movements. For a moment, Jiang Ning crossed his hands and hung them in front of him, and asked with a half-smile: "Wu Yuan, you said...can I believe you?"
