Chapter 146: Mistakenly into the depths of lotus flower(1/2)
Outside the tall wooden archway in Liantian Town, a white-maned wild wolf stands. It has black fur and tall figure, with two pointed ears standing upright. It is holding a huge hammer in its hand, and the hammer is full of iron nails with wolf teeth.
"I am Tiansha Wuqi, the master of the double evil cave of Langya Mountain. The Earth Demon has come to worship the village before. You have taken too much action and have damaged my face in Langya Mountain. Today, the Japanese Tiansha is coming to seek justice!" The wolf demon who has become Wuqi waved the wolf mace in his hand.
The monster's Bai Zhuang stirred up trouble in Ning Xiaoling's lifeless heart. She was very excited. After hearing the news, she hurriedly ran towards the outside of the town, wanting to see the monster's appearance.
Then, she found that everyone didn't seem to be very interested in the great demon who claimed to be a famous man.
The craftsmen never stopped their work, and the farmers also focused on farming in the fields, without even straightening their backs. Only other monsters were still concerned about the Seven Demon Wolf of the Black Seven Demons. They discussed its origin, but finally laughed.
After Ning Xiaoling looked around, she felt that she was too excited.
"Senior brother, why don't they have the urgency of the enemy at present?" Ning Xiaoling couldn't understand.
Ning Changjiu said: "Maybe I'm used to it."
The first one to arrive outside the village was Ning Xiaoling and Ning Changjiu.
In the weedy field, Wu Qi stood on a lonely stone, calmly. After seeing the brother and sister, it said coldly: "You are the ones?"
Wu Qi's eyes were disappointed.
"You yellow-haired girl, too, want to learn about the martial arts of our Langya Mountain?" Wu Qi waved his stick, as if he wanted to drive them away directly.
Ning Xiaoling's eyes were also disappointed. She sighed, thinking that the monster's thunder was indeed a little bit loud and even less raindrops. She was too lazy to draw her sword, so she rolled up her sleeves and fought against the demon wolf.
Three rounds later, Ning Xiaoling slashed his mace with a knife and cut it into two pieces. Wu Qi looked at the broken stick and was stunned, screaming "You are cruel", then turned around and ran away.
Ning Xiaoling is too lazy to chase after him.
She couldn't understand why such a weak monster had such a famous name, which made people happy.
This kind of worship lasted for several days.
These days, Ning Xiaoling has been going to fight, and he is disappointed every time. However, the villagers here are very interested in the attacks by the immortal master, and more people are watching. After driving away the seventh monster, Ning Xiaoling finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided not to bully the little animals again.
Later, after asking Qiu Sheng and the others, they found out that there was a lotus seed festival in Liantian Town. At that time, many lotus seeds with a lotus pond will grow. The villagers of Liantian Town will also invite many monsters that shock the area to celebrate the Lotus Seed Festival. So before summer is approaching, monsters often come to worship the village just to prove their strength and then get the qualification to invite the Lotus Seed Festival.
Only then did Ning Xiaoling realize that the real big monsters around were all bribed by Lianzi... She could no longer raise any more.
"Before the end of the Godless Moon, I will never take a step out of Liantian Town!" Ning Xiaoling swears.
Ning Changjiu smiled helplessly. He had heard the junior sister complaining too many times these days.
Ning Xiaoling also gave up struggling and said, "I'd better practice hard for the remaining half month. Senior brother, do you have any powerful magic to teach me? The last time the formation that could move far away at once, I want to learn that..."
"That can't be learned overnight." Ning Changjiu said.
"How long has the senior brother been studying?"
"I didn't learn it, I realized it myself."
"..." Ning Xiaoling said angrily: "Senior brother bullies others again!"
There was no more trouble in the days after that. Although there were often monsters coming to worship the village, Ning Xiaoling had already sealed his sword and refused to leave the mountain. I don’t know who went to fight. In short, those monsters who worshiped the village did not get any benefits.
Ning Xiaoling eats fish, teases cats, practices swords, and visits the town every day. Ning Changjiu was pulled by her junior sister to do these things, and occasionally teaches her some exquisite Taoism.
The chilly spring cold gradually dissipated, and the light wandered in every place in Liantian Town, with a little heat mixed in the gentleness.
After Ning Xiaoling calmed down, her heart became really calm. The leisurely life was so comfortable. When the warm sunlight fell on her white Taoist skirt, she suddenly felt like a small tree, growing and developing little by little in the light and rain, as if she could soon become a fairy like her master.
Ning Changjiu also liked this kind of comfort, which made him feel like he had returned to the Taoist temple of his previous life. Every day, he would sit by the cliff and watch the sunset, or go to Dahe Town to visit simple townspeople.
Now in the house, when he is alone, he often looks at the paintings in the house, feels the slightly familiar brushstrokes on the paintings, thinks about their origins and stories, and in the end his sight will always come to the layout of the town in the middle.
Ning Chang always believed that something abnormal would happen. According to the old man's writing skills, he should not have drawn such works that are both ordinary in poetry and painting.
And it is actually hanging in the center.
Ning couldn't see any name for a long time, but for more than twenty days, the old man lived alone in the small building, and Qiu Sheng had been delivering food, but never came to see these two guests.
Qiu Sheng also served the two immortal masters well, and they were not missed in their daily life. Xiaolian was also very well-behaved. As her name suggests, she often went to the vast lotus pond to set off a boat. Now the lotus leaves are already connected to the sky. In the endless green color, the swaying lotus wind is like the corner of a girl's skirt swaying.
What made Ning Xiaoling happy was that her realm was indeed much stronger after the ten days of quiet practice, but she was walking on the ladder of the clouds and her foundation was not solid, so no matter how hard she practiced, she was still far away from the beginning of longevity.
Ning watched the time pass day by day with a long and peaceful look, thinking about Lu Maimai's Feng Zhanshu and the Sifeng Sword half a month later, he felt worried and always felt uneasy.
The Godless Moon is about to pass, and the Kingdom of Sin King is about to open, that was the day before leaving the town. All the peace before was as if they were waiting for the waves after a strong wind. Before the huge change came, Ning Xiaoling, who was in Liantian Town, was pulled by Ning Xiaoling to say goodbye to the little monsters one by one.
...
...
Ning accompanied Ning Xiaoling through several alleys for a long time, and finally met the patrolling rabbit spirit. Ning Xiaoling stopped the rabbit spirit and said goodbye to it seriously. The rabbit spirit was still wearing the armor, and behind it was like a sword was carrying three carrots.
When the rabbit spirit learned that Ning Xiaoling was leaving, hesitated for a while and took off a carrot with pain. He held it in his hands like a sword given to a hero, and handed it to Ning Xiaoling. Ning Xiaoling solemnly took the carrot.
On the roofs on both sides of the street, the lizard spirit and the toad spirit were still shouting at each other, and a mallard duck was also shaking its slightly fat body, passing through the streets and alleys to them, and shouting farewell to them.
Ning Xiaoling bent down and touched its smooth feathers.
When she first saw this duck, she saw it being chased by a fish in the lotus pond. Ning Xiaoling kindly helped it out, but she never thought that a month was about to pass in a blink of an eye.
"Senior brother, when will we introduce some monsters to the mountain gate?" Ning Xiaoling suddenly had a whim.
Ning Changjiu dispelled her fantasy: "Do you think your senior brothers and sisters have a bad meal?"
Ning Xiaoling sighed and said goodbye to the monsters while walking towards the place where he lives.
Qiu Sheng caught a big bass today and cooked a thick pot of soup. The black cat was sitting upright. The cat stared at the steaming heat with his eyes fixed on it. I don’t know how much endurance it took to resist the temptation of fish.
Ning Xiaoling sat next to the black cat, habitually carried the cat into her arms and rubbed it. Then she picked up a piece of the most delicious meat on her belly and sent it to the black cat's mouth. The black cat screamed a few times in satisfaction, but it sounded like a baby's crying.
When they finished their meal, the sky was covered with lingering clouds.
The whole town is like an exquisite painting, with the light and darkness of the light from far to near, the red clouds in the distance, the green clouds in the distance, the swaying green colors, and the dark silver of the waves in the lotus pond. All the colors are just right, outlining its appearance to make it quiet and quiet.
After dinner, Xiaolian suddenly ran to Xiaomulou and ran out quickly.
He was still chatting with Qiu Sheng, saying that he would go and see Ning Xiaoling, who was the strong snake, and his clothes behind him were pulled.
Ning Xiaoling turned around and looked at Xiaolian's wide open eyes. The little girl opened her mouth and said something. Ning Xiaoling could only understand it.
Ning Changjiu, who was beside him, suddenly opened his eyes.
After hearing his sister's words, Qiu Sheng frowned, looked at the two immortal masters uncertainly, and said, "Grandpa...well, Grandpa invites you in."
"I haven't seen you for a month, what should I do when I see you?" Ning Changjiu asked.
Xiaolian twisted her fingers, drew horizontally and vertically, and then gestured the outline of her body.
This time Ning understood for a long time: "The old man wants to draw a portrait for me?"
Seeing that he understood his words, Xiaolian jumped up excitedly, pointed to the yard, and signaled them to go in.
Ning Changjiu smiled and said, "Since the host invites you, there is no reason not to go."
Ning Xiaoling subconsciously glanced at the lifelike black cat hanging on the wall, and knew that the old man's painting skills were very not simple. If he could get two paintings, he could show off his own goodbye.
Ning Changjiu and Ning Xiaoling walked towards the small wooden building.
In the twilight, the old building looks like a symbol of loneliness.
Today, the door bolt was not on, and the faint door was opened, and the fragrance of ink came to my nose.
Ning Xiaoling looked around the ink-filled bamboo building in surprise. There were many paintings hanging on the walls. The paintings were difficult to follow. The edges of the paper were light yellow. The paintings were of different styles, either exquisite, elegant or majestic, and captured Ning Xiaoling's eyes in various shapes.
So Ning Xiaoling didn't pay attention to the expression of the senior brother beside her.
When Ning Changjiu walked into the house, his breathing was a little slow.
He thought of some past events, and the three-month career in learning painting suddenly came to his mind. The layout in the building in front of him was so familiar that even some of the paintings on the wall overlapped with some of the pictures in his memory.
This should be just a coincidence...
Ning Changjiu thought this way, and then he saw an old man standing at the table with his arms sagging and falling. The old man was not too old. He was wearing a green and yellow robe. Perhaps because of his long-term stay at the desk, his back was slightly hunched.
Ning Xiaoling walked out towards the old man, curious about what he was drawing.
Ning Changjiu suddenly grabbed her hand and stopped.
The junior sister's arm hurt and turned her head in confusion, and then was stunned. He rarely saw the senior brother's expression.
Ning Changjiu stared at the old man in front of him without blinking. His expression was too calm, terrible, as if the air in the room had also solidified with his eyes.
"Well... cough cough..." The old man picked up his pen, clenched his fist with his other hand to cover his mouth, his body shook with the sound of coughing, and the air also flowed again with his coughing.
The old man slowly turned around.
Coincidence becomes reality.
"Mr. Zhang." Ning Changjiu could not suppress the impulse in his heart and called out his last name.
He recognized the old man in front of him. This was Mr. Zhang, whom he had studied painting for three months in his previous life.
Then he remembered the brushstrokes of those paintings. It was just that Mr. Zhang from Dahe Town was a hidden master. The traces of the monks could be clearly seen between his brushes. The old man in front of him all the paintings were made by mortals, so Ning felt familiar for a long time, but he never connected them together.
Today, before nightfall, the old man met them for the first time, and Ning long heard the drum beat of his heart.
Dahe Town and Tuoguan belong to the same hidden mountain. If the memories of his previous life were correct, he was stuffed by his senior sister to Mr. Zhang to learn painting when he was eight years old. Now Mr. Zhang should have been in Dahe Town long ago. Could it be that time has gone against the current, many things have changed accordingly...
Then, he immediately thought of the most critical thing.
This old artist may know the way to Dahe Town!
To be continued...
