It was obvious that no one believed this answer, "Miss Shi Ning, don't try to trick us. We saw it clearly just now. Qin Yongqi, who is clearly trapped in this magic weapon, can't move it."

Huang Xueping also noticed the movement here at this moment and looked at it. Xiang Shining said, "What's going on?"

Shi Ning himself felt very confused and couldn't explain why for the moment.

Qin Yongqi took off the morning glory and said, "Miss Shi Ning, this..."

Huang Xueping asked Xiang Shining, "Morning glory?"

"Yes."

"Shall I take it back to look at it first, and then return it to you later?" Shi Ning asked tentatively.

Lin Panxin said: "Yes, Shi Ning will take it back first to see if there are any abnormalities. If there is no problem, I will give it to you."

Qin Yongqi nodded, carefully took off the morning glory, and then carefully handed it back to Shi Ning.

Under the curious eyes of everyone, Huang Xueping quickly left with Shi Ning.

Back in the yard, Shanjie was struggling to drag a kettle to water the seeds.

Who doesn’t know how to water water? Just that smelly turtle? snort.

"I'll do it." Shi Ning saw Shan Nai's hard work, took the kettle with one hand, and picked up Shan Nai with the other.

"Why are you back so early?" Shan Nai said curiously.

Shi Ning: "I have something to do, so I came back first."

Huang Xueping put the morning glory on the table and asked, "What's going on?"

Shi Ning was puzzled, and she wanted to know too. "This is really the morning glory I just picked in the yard this morning."

Ling Che also knew about the morning glory and said to Shi Ning: "Give me the seeds."

Shi Ning handed over the morning glory seeds. , this is a very ordinary seed.

Ling Che held the seed between his fingers and examined it carefully.

"Is there anything wrong?" Huang Xueping asked.

After Ling Che looked at it for a long time, he returned the seeds to Shi Ning, "There's nothing wrong with it."

"I don't think it's a bad thing. At least the two seeds were harmless."

Huang Xueping disagreed, "You forgot to eat " Is it about the human flower?"

"I don't think it's a bad thing now. In the future, when Shi Ning is alone, will she be able to deal with the human flower with her current cultivation?"

Huang Xueping mentioned the human flower. It reminded Shi Ning of what he had said to Lin Panxin last time, and couldn't help but ask: "Elder, what are the details about the piranha incident?"

"That happened thirty years ago." Ling Che recalled road.

"At that time, a disciple planted many spiritual flowers in the yard, and somehow there was a piranha. Piranha has always had a bad temper, so several disciples died." Elder Huang sighed and said.

"Which disciples?" Shi Ning asked.

"Both the disciples of Qingye Peak and Baicao Peak were killed or injured. One of the disciples was almost Nascent Soul, and he didn't expect to die because of this." Ling Che said regretfully.

"But why is there piranha mixed in? Piranha seeds are different from other spiritual plants, and they are very difficult to find. They should be easy to identify." Shi Ning asked.

"And the piranha didn't grow overnight. Didn't that disciple notice it before?"

"It's unknown. It happened suddenly. But after investigation, it was found that it seemed to be a peony flower cultivated. It hurts people. That’s why I didn’t notice it before.” Elder Huang said.

The more Shi Ning asked about this matter, the more ambiguous the answers he got felt. If she doesn't figure out the piranha flower matter, then she will definitely be blocked as long as she grows spiritual plants.

"Elder Huang and I were in retreat at the time, and we don't know the details of what happened." Ling Che explained.

Shi Ning frowned and asked, "Then who handled this matter at that time?"

Ling Che thought for a moment, "Daozu, Feiyun, and your master Kong Zhi."

"If you want to know what happened back then, It would be clearer to ask Feiyun. "

The Taoist ancestors came and went without a trace, and the master passed away many years ago. If Shi Ning wants to know about this, he can only find out after returning to the sect and seeing the Taoist Xuanzhen. A clear one.

Elder Huang looked at the unevenly grown spiritual plants in the yard and said, "This is why the Taoist ancestors later prohibited disciples below the Nascent Soul from planting spiritual plants. Now that we are here, it's okay for you to plant these."

"Just wait . After returning to the sect, you still have to wait for the Nascent Soul stage. This is why I have always wanted you to choose another one."

Seeing that he couldn't figure out the reason for the piranha flower, Shi Ning had to say: "Okay. Well, what about the morning glories and oranges? "

"Since you have given the morning glories to Qin Yongqi, let Elder Ling Che confirm that there is no problem before returning them to him. "

"As for the oranges, since Elder Ling Che is fine . , let’s share it with everyone, but don’t make any publicity about the rest.”

Elder Huang was still uneasy about these spiritual plants and reminded; “Just because nothing happens once or twice does not mean nothing happens every time. It’s better to be careful. . "

With the piranha flower in front of us, everyone in the sect is extremely wary of Lingzhi. Shi Ning's plan to become a spiritual planter was extremely difficult.

At dusk, Shi Ning sat by the window and looked at the sunset in the distance.

Jing Li suddenly flew down and looked at Shi Ning, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?" Shi Ning asked.

Shan Nai quietly opened one eye and looked at Shi Ning and Jing Li secretly.

Jing Li remembered what Shan Nai had said to him, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "I think you'd better let Shan Nai practice regularly and cultivate her character."

"What's wrong? Did she bully you again?" Shi Ning squinted at Shan Nai. Hey, this is a kitten with a criminal record.

Shan Nai immediately jumped up and said, "I didn't."

Shi Ning looked at Jing Li and wondered, "What's going on?"

Jing Li said, "Otherwise, she would be too busy all day long. She always wants to think about something. Some are not."

Shi Ning didn't understand: "What was she thinking?"

Jing Li told Shan Nai what happened last time. Shan Nai never expected that the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes would actually rebel.

Shan Nai cursed angrily: "I still believe you, but you actually betrayed our organization."

Jing Li reminded: "I never promised you to join any cat sect."

Shan Nai was so angry that he meowed furiously, Shi Ning picked up Shan Nai and said, "What Shan Nai said makes sense. Now it's time to remind Xuanwu of this."

Seeing Shi Ning praising himself, Shan Nai raised his tail high again and said proudly, "I I think what I said makes sense."

Shi Ning asked from his soul, "But how can we make Xuanwu remember it?"

Shan Nai looked at Shi Ning, and Shi Ning looked at Jing Li.

Jing Li: ...

Shi Ning said: "Have you ever heard of the soul-fixing needle?"

Shan Nai suddenly raised his paw and said: "I have heard of it, I have heard of it."

Shi Ning looked over in surprise and asked: "You Where have you heard it?"

Shan Nai said proudly: "I heard it from Elder Ling Che."

"It's said that there is a soul-fixing needle in Xuanwu's head."

Shi Ning rubbed Shan Nai's head and said kindly, "I also heard Elder Ling Che say it."

It was impossible to expect Shan Nai to reveal any key clues.

Jing Li said: "The soul-fixing needle is a magic weapon, and it has been on Xuanwu for many years. I don't know if taking it out rashly will cause other troubles."

Shi Ning and the others also knew this, so they did not act rashly.

"The person who tied the bell must also be the one who tied the bell. Whoever laid the bell can be found."

Jing Li continued: "Anyway, didn't Xuanwu always want to steal your soul-inducing bell?"

"Why don't we just use the trick and let Xuanwu steal it and give it to him? " Master. In this way, Ling Che can also track down the mastermind. Ling Che's cultivation should be enough to deal with the person behind it. The rest is

up to Ling Che and the others, how to remind Xuanwu." He nodded, feeling that this plan was feasible, and agreed to Jing Li's proposal, but he still had some doubts.

"But what if we get lost?"

Jing Li said in a serious tone, "If you can lose a soul beast that has been given a soul-fixing needle, then they don't need to be the elders of Chengtianmen." Directly. Go become a disciple and start over from scratch.

Listening to what Jing Li said, Shi Ning always had the illusion that Ling Che and Huang Xueping needed to obey his orders.

Shi Ning inevitably asked one more question: "Have you known Elder Huang and Elder Ling before?"

Jing Li did not hesitate and answered simply: "I don't know."

"Oh, it's just that I need to discuss it with the elders again. , to make sure nothing goes wrong."

Jing Li hummed, "Let them think about it specifically."

Jing Li has been in a high position for a long time, and usually just gives instructions to the elders, and never needs to worry about it himself.

Shi Ning put down the mountain pen and knocked on Ling Che's door. Huang Xueping happened to be there too.

"What's the matter?" Ling Che asked.

Xuanwu was still in his turtle form, looking at everyone blankly. Just to be safe, Shi Ning suggested giving Xuanwu a sleeping spell.

Seeing that Xuanwu fell asleep again, Shi Ning revealed the plan he had just discussed with Jing Li. Shi Ning was always uneasy with Jing Li's proposal alone. She wanted Ling Che and Huang Xueping to see if there was anything in this plan. loopholes.

Ling Che and Huang Xueping discussed: "Elder Huang and I have also thought about this method, but if Xuanwu is hidden under the deep sea, neither of us can follow it."

Shi Ning remembered the water-avoiding pill that Ao Ling had given him before, and took it He put it on the table and said, "This is not a big problem. After taking it, you can walk on the water in the water."

Huang Xueping held the water-avoiding pill and asked: "A water-avoiding pill unique to the mermaid family? Where did you get it?"

Huang Xueping did not He knew that the rumored benefactor in Kunshan was Shi Ning. Ling Che didn't tell anyone else, and only Yan Huanming and Ling Che knew about it in the sect.

Therefore, Huang Xueping didn't know about Shi Ning and Ao Ling. Gu Shi Ning just said lightly: "Before, Ao Ling was entrusted by my father before his death to take me to Luochuan Fairyland. This was given to me by Ao Ling at that time."

Since the last incident in Luochuan Secret Realm, the sect has Everyone knew that before his death, Master Shi Ci asked the mermaid clan to take care of Shi Ning, so there was nothing wrong with Shi Ning using this excuse.

Huang Xueping nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Ling Che looked at the soul-attracting bell on Shi Ning's wrist and said, "Then put the soul-attracting bell with me first."

"After Xuanwu stole it, I have been secretly following his traces,"

Huang Xueping said: " Wouldn't it be too obvious to leave it here? What if Xuanwu doesn't get fooled? In my opinion, it would be better to leave it here, or leave it at Shi Ning's place

, because Xuanwu is awake . Then, what if you just run away and don't steal the soul bell? If you put it in Elder Lingche's house, you can remind him." Shi Ning had a different view on this matter.

Huang Xueping thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. You'd better think carefully."

Shi Ning took off the soul-inducing bell and handed it over, then suddenly asked: "Elder, have you ever seen a dragon?"
