The lotus boat sailed into the lake water, and the duckweed separated. Ning Changjiu looked at the color at the junction of water and sky, and his eyes were calm. He gently tapped the boat on the side of the boat, allowing the lotus boat to sail forward along Qiu Sheng's guidance.

Ning Xiaoling looked calm, but her heart was filled with a stimulus and she was a little nervous.

Xiaolian lay beside the lotus boat, stretched out her hand to lift the water. She listened to the sound of the water, and smiled constantly, looking full of energy and not tired at all.

Ning Changjiu asked: "What kind of monster is it?"

Qiu Sheng replied: "A big snake! The injured python is so big. In the past, some immortal masters were scared and couldn't help drawing their swords."

Ning Xiaoling felt a little calm and thought that he had seen the world at least, how could a python scare him?

They were lucky today. After the lotus boat sailed far away, a large area of ​​black floated under the already dim water surface. At that moment, Ning Xiaoling found that he had far underestimated the length of the python.

The black shadow was dozens of times longer than their lotus boat. When it emerged from the bottom of the water, Ning Xiaoling felt a little dizzy. He always felt that the next moment, the python flicked its body and the little lotus boat would turn over in an instant. Then the python opened its bloody mouth and they all became the fill of the snake.

Ning Changjiu gently grabbed her hand and signaled her to rest assured.

Ning Changjiu pinched a sword technique in his hand in his sleeve, ready to deal with sudden changes at any time.

But everything is calm from beginning to end.

The dragon-sized figure under the lotus boat slid silently across the bottom of the boat, revealing a little black back, which brought out a very narrow and long triangular water pattern when swimming.

As the dusk was gathering, the big python obediently accompanied the lotus boat for a while. Qiu Sheng did not urge him, but made a gentle gesture to the two immortal masters, as if he didn't want to disturb the "river god".

Before the skylight disappeared at the end of the lake, the big python, like a river god, finally raised its head. Its head was dark blue, just like the color of an old tiles, full of time. Its eyes were painted with red lines, with some fierce appearance. It turned its huge conical head and spitted its slender tongue at the people on the lotus boat.

"Immortal Master, chase after me." Qiu Sheng whispered.

Ning long tapped the boat side and drove the lotus boat to the edge of the big snake. The big snake's head was as big as a lotus boat. It looked scary. Ning Xiaoling was scared, but seeing Xiaolian, a seven or eight-year-old girl, was not afraid, and even reached out to touch the big snake's head, her heart felt much more relaxed.

Ning Changjiu looked at the dark blue head and stretched out his hand and stroked the fine and hard scales. The scales were very smooth, like pebbles that had been washed countless times with running water.

"Does it have a name?" Ning Changjiu asked.

Qiu Sheng scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "It's called Dahei."

Ning was silent for a while and said calmly: "Good name."

Ning Xiaoling tried hard and held back her smile.

The snake named Dahei played with them for a while, and then it rolled over its body as if to prove the origin of its name. Ning Changjiu looked along its extremely long body and suddenly frowned.

Ning Xiaoling also let out a small scream.

Only then did they know what Qiu Sheng said before, what the big snake was injured.

The big snake almost tore open from the center of its body. Its abdomen was empty, with only a thick and brittle white bone connecting the two ends of its body. It looked like a wire chain connecting two soft sticks. The big snake was indifferent to such a fatal injury and leisurely swayed its body and sank into the depths of the lotus pond.

A cold mist appeared at the end of the lotus pond.

The moon was already hanging in the sky without realizing it. The deep blue sky was like a huge cloth, the stars were like fireflies, the silver light on the water swayed, and the moon shadows rippled into parallel silver strings.

The lotus boat turned around, and it was slow to go back, and soon it moved onto the shore. Qiu Sheng went to return the lotus boat, and then brought the two immortal masters home.

Ning Xiaoling met many novel monsters today and felt very happy. After returning home, she settled in a clean new room, and suddenly realized something very important.

She turned her head, looked at her senior brother, and asked, "What are we here for?"

Ning Changjiu said: "It seems that I am here to help eliminate demons."

Ning Xiaoling said: "But all the monsters here have been influenced...what should we remove?"

Ning sighed for a long time and said, "This is a good thing for the villagers here."

Ning Xiaoling held her face, half of her previous satisfaction was eliminated, and said, "The other disciples have made countless contributions this month. Are we cheating here for food and drink?"

Ning Changjiu comforted: "It is a good thing to be able to practice with peace of mind."

Ning Xiaoling grabbed his sword, drew his sword out of the sheath, looked at his face on the mirror-like sword, and said, "Then are we going to eat and drink for free?"

Ning Changjiu said: "Who would have thought that this wilderness would be so good in weather."

Ning Xiaoling held his cheek and said, "If I were those evil demons, I would not dare to come if I had such a big black snake with a broken body and strong mind.

Ning long remembered the big black snake, his mind was loose, and some dusty fragments appeared faintly, slowly pieced together the unformed picture.

Ning Xiaoling complained nonstop and said, "Senior brother, why don't we go out of the town and take a look. Maybe there are big monsters outside looking at each other!"

Ning Changjiu rejected: "Lu Marshal said, please don't run around. Moreover, the senior brother's physique really attracted some monsters, but no one can come to save him."

Ning Xiaoling thought of Mrs. White Bone. The sword that fell from the sky made her thrilling every time she thought of it. She suddenly felt that a month of pastoral life seemed good. There were delicious pastries, fun monsters, strong snakes, and abundant spiritual energy.

"It's quite suitable for retirement." Xiaoling, who is only fourteen years old, commented.

Ning Changjiu smiled and said, "You said the same thing when you went to Linhe City last time."

Ning Xiaoling snorted and said, "A man who practices Taoism is the whole world for his family. Senior brother, you have a shallow thought of it this time."

Ning Changjiu nodded with a smile.

Ning Xiaoling boiled a pot of hot water, then spread the neatly folded quilts, recalling today's experience, he curiously said: "What is the mouth of that girl named Xiaolian? I have investigated it. It's obviously normal, why can't I speak?"

Ning Changjiu also investigated it but couldn't solve it, so he had to say: "This town is strange, and it's not difficult to understand some abnormal strange things."

Ning Xiaoling asked again: "What about those monsters? Why are they so well-behaved, especially the big snake. It is probably the demon king who is the one who is the one who is placed elsewhere."

Ning Changjiu nodded in agreement. The giant python with a blue head and black body, red eyes, and a large-scale torn abdomen was difficult to estimate. When it appeared, it really gave itself a natural sense of oppression. In short, it was definitely not weaker than Xueyujun, and Xueyujun was also a generation of monsters that dominated Nanzhou back then.

Such a giant python is logically going to have horns and turn into a dragon at any time. Somehow, it is willing to guard this lotus pond.

"Maybe there are experts in this town." This is the only reasonable explanation that Ning Changjiu could think of.

One word wakes up the dreamer.

Ning Xiaoling suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly: "It makes sense! He must be a very powerful expert living here in seclusion. Maybe he is an old senior from the Yujian Tianzong!"

Thinking of this, Ning Xiaoling's disappointment was mostly relieved. The regret of being unable to kill demons and demons was suddenly overwhelmed by the expectation of looking for a mysterious master.

Her watery eyes looked at her senior brother and begged: "The senior brother will accompany me to find that old god tomorrow."

Ning Changji thought that the old god lived here in seclusion just because he didn't want to be disturbed? But he couldn't resist his junior sister's begging, so he had to agree.

The night is getting deeper.

Ning Xiaoling has fallen asleep, but Ning Changjiu habitually came to the window and looked at the scenery outside.

The bright moon is like water, the eaves are like frost, and a large banana leaf is covered with bamboo windows. Large pieces of bamboo swaying in the night wind, and bamboo shadows rust on the courtyard wall covered with slender vines.

The world is quiet in tranquility. I wonder if it is because of the departure of the gods, the stars are projected onto the sky more clearly.

If it were on weekdays, he should be refining his body for Lu Marrying. After half a month of tempering, Lu Marrying was once again caught in a bottleneck. Ning Changjiu had discussed it seriously with her and could no longer think of a better way. He believed that the next path would be to rely on her own to complete the journey of sword body practice.

Lu Marrying can also be felt that she is only one line away from Ziting. When Ning returns for a month, he may be the peak master of Ziting.

Ning long-lasting heart is getting calmer and calmer.

The spiritual veins in his body began to flow, the sea of ​​qi opened like a vortex, and the spiritual energy around him poured in and began to rotate at an incredible speed. If he opened his eyes at this moment, he could see his eyes shining with thousands of golden light like the sun.

The spiritual energy is refined into spiritual power after several cycles of cycles.

Ordinary practitioners can clearly feel their bottleneck before entering each realm, entering Xuan, Tongxian, Long Life, Ziting, and each realm has a clear distinction.

But Ning was unable to sense his own line for a long time.

The moment the golden crow arrived, all the obstacles were swept away. The path to practicing Taoism was already flat for him. He could only see a line in a distant place. He was not sure whether that line represents longevity or purple courtyard, or even further away.

After practicing peacefully all night, Ning Ning slept for a long time, the stars gradually faded away, and the tips of the grass were already rolling with dew.

In the early morning, Qiu Sheng called two immortal masters to have breakfast.

The dish is made of fish by Xiaolian.

Ning Xiaoling was hesitating, thinking that she promised the little black cat not to steal the fish food yesterday, but after she got off the first chopsticks, she saw no chopsticks outside. The black cat, who was also early, jumped onto the long wooden bench and whined at the girl, scolding her for being untrustworthy.

Ning Changjiu took two simple bites.

He has never been very interested in the delicious food in the world.

After breakfast, the sun shone into the house, and the paintings mounted on the walls became much clearer in the bright hall.

Ning Changjiu looked over. The paintings were rich in themes, with vast waves of fishing boats spreading across the river, dazzling green landscapes, and exquisite flowers and birds with extremely exquisite strokes. The black cat with a very energetic family also had a portrait, which was vivid.

Ning Changjiu's gaze slowly passed by and finally landed in the center of the hall, where a painting was hung. This painting was very inconspicuous compared to the others, and even looked average because the layout was too square and the lines were too rigid.

That is a layout diagram of a small town.

Ning stared at him for a while and shook his head slightly. He didn't see any reputation. Instead, he felt the illusion that he could draw even if he picked up a pen after three months of learning.

And the left side of the painting also wrote a poem in a straightforward manner, which is also ordinary:

The fragrance of the lotus shaking the wind and the bells, and the lights reflect the bamboo wall yard illuminate

The birds return home from afar and look at the tower high, and the lonely lamp is like water blowing on the moonlight

Ning Xiaoling noticed the senior brother's eyes and looked over. After reading it twice, he also commented in a low voice: "It seems that I can write too."

Ning Changjiu thought that he and his junior sister were quite a perfect match in poetry and painting.

In the morning, Ning Changjiu chatted with Qiu Sheng for a few words, and Xiaolian sat aside with a bench and listened quietly, gesturing from time to time.

Ning Changjiu asked him some things about the hidden masters in the town.

This is a stubborn Qiu Sheng. Although Qiu Sheng is only ten years old, the town is not big and the relationship between neighbors is good. He has visited the streets and has many strong and capable men, but he has to say something about hermit master...
To be continued...
