Jing Li closed her eyes helplessly, not expecting to meet Ling Che and Fei Yun here. Not only that. These two old guys even revealed their vests. He obviously wanted to find a suitable opportunity to confess to Shi Ning. The result was so unexpected.

Jing Li looked at Shi Ning uneasily, but Shi Ning didn't even look at him. He took two steps back and stood on the same level as Ling Che Feiyun. He also saluted respectfully: "Disciple, see the Taoist ancestor." There was

coldness and alienation in his tone . They were completely different from before. No matter how stupid Jing Li was, he could tell that Shi Ning was unhappy now.

If looks could kill, I'm afraid Fei Yun and Ling Che are both dying at this moment. It's hard to create such a good atmosphere, night, moonlight, hero saving beauty, girl grateful. What a beautiful scene, ruined by two old guys. When he thought of this, Jing Li looked at the two of them with even more resentful eyes.

Fei Yun and Ling Che were both people who had lived for hundreds of years. When they saw this posture, they quickly said: "Disciple, I still have something to do. Let's take a leave first and stop disturbing the Dao Ancestor and the leader."

Not yet . When the two of them reacted, they rubbed oil on their soles and left.

Under the crescent moon, only Shi Ning and Jing Li were left again.

Shi Ning still had a respectful attitude and said to Jing Li: "I didn't know the identity of the ancestor before. I have offended many people. Please forgive me for a moment."

Jing Li opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know. Where to start? After thinking for a long time, he said: "I wanted to find a suitable opportunity to explain this to you."

Shi Ning listened quietly with his hands down, no expression on his face.

"Taozu has his own way of doing things. There is no need to explain anything to me."

Jing Li was about to explain something more when he heard Shi Ning say coldly: "If Taozu has nothing else to do, the disciple should leave first."

" I also asked Daozu to move to another place in the future. Suiyuyuan is too simple and I don't want to wrong Daozu."

Shi Ning was more polite than every word, which made Jing Li feel heavier and heavier.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Ning left in a hurry, not even wanting to leave Jing Li behind.

Shi Ning seemed to be surrounded by dark clouds. After returning to Suiyuyuan, he lay directly on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

Shan Nai jumped up, rubbed against Shi Ning and said: "Ning Ning, why did you come back alone? Where is Jing Li?"

Shi Ning said coldly: "He is not Jing Li, he is Xuanzhen Taoist Ancestor."

This sentence is like Suddenly, Shan Nai staggered and fell straight off the edge of the bed. He fell to the ground with a plop, rolled over on the ground, and climbed on the edge of the bed with his two paws, saying tremblingly: "Jing, Jing Li is actually the Taoist ancestor."

"How is this possible?" Shan Nai still refused to believe this.

Shi Ning sneered and said: "Is there anything impossible?"

All the things that could not be figured out before were now solved. Why was Jing Li, a spiritual beast, injured so seriously during the thunder tribulation? Except for Xuanzhen Taoist himself, who would be so severely injured by the thunder tribulation.

There are also those things that are deliberately concealed. In the past, Ning just thought that Jing Li was vigilant and did not want to tell herself. Now it seems that there are traces of deliberate concealment.

When thinking about these bits and pieces, Shi Ning felt like a fool. When he told Jing Li how good his ancestor was, maybe the man was still laughing at himself in his heart for how stupid he was.

The more he thought about this, the more contradictory and incredible Shi Ning felt. The Xuanzhen Dao Ancestor whom he respected so much was actually the spiritual beast that he lived with day and night. The two of them even formed a spirit animal contract.

Shi Ning tossed and turned on the bed, his eyes widened and he was not sleepy at all. I even want to get up and go to Jing Li to ask him face to face, is it fun to play with myself like this? Do you feel proud when you see yourself being deceived?

The more he thought about it, the more headache he got. Shi Ning sat up angrily. He accidentally glanced at the mustard seeds on his waist and realized that he had almost forgotten about it.

Shi Ning rubbed his temples and took out a blue-covered book from the mustard. This book was exactly the one Huang Xueping often read.

Shi Ning opened the book page by page, and finally saw the familiar red dog head halfway through the page.

"Woooooooo, Shi Ning, I finally see you." Zhu Meng's face was beaten until his nose was black and his eyes were swollen. The moment he saw Shi Ning, his nose and tears flowed together.

After seeing Zhu Meng, Shi Ning basically confirmed his idea. It was indeed Huang Xueping. Five years ago, Zhuo Meng once told her that Baili Ying's spy was one of the elders. Since then, she has been very concerned about the elders. When she succeeded to the position of head, she read through the scrolls and sects of the elders' life experiences.

When she went to visit Huang Xueping that day, Shi Ning felt the faint scent of Dream Catching in the book. Because it was masked by the strong smell of Chinese medicine, Shi Ning did not dare to confirm it. I had no choice but to go there with the scroll every day in the name of visiting Huang Xueping, and finally determined that the book was about dream catching. After doing this for several months, Shi Ning finally picked up the scrolls all over the floor and started catching dreams.

If Jing Li hadn't suddenly appeared tonight, I might have been buried in Chengtianmen. Oh, no, it was Xuanzhen Daozu who suddenly appeared. Shi Ning silently corrected the title in his heart. No matter how you say it, Daozu has saved him many times, it is true that he has pointed him out, and it is also true that he has kept it from him for many years.

Shi Ning was caught in a conflict for a moment, not knowing what attitude to take towards Jing Li or Xuanzhen Taoist Ancestor.

"Shi Ning? Shi Ning?" Zhu Meng shouted, "What are you thinking about? Why didn't you hear me after shouting several times?"

After Shi Ning came to his senses, he glanced sideways at Zhu Meng, "You don't know everything. Don't you know what I'm thinking?" In the middle of speaking, Shi Ning suddenly squinted his eyes and looked at Zhu Meng seriously.

"Have you known who Jing Li is for a long time?"

Zhuo Meng's tears were still wet. He avoided looking directly at Shi Ning. "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Shi Ning looked at the red dog. You can tell by his sneaky look that this dog must know and help Jing Li hide it from him. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let him out.

"Since you don't know, forget it. Let me ask you something else." Time was running out, and Shi Ning had no time to dwell on this. He simply asked: "Is it Huang Xueping?"

Zhu Meng said: "The Heavenly Dog Clan cannot mix with you. It's a matter of internal fighting within the sect."

Shi Ning's expression suddenly became more serious, and he said sternly: "Do you still think this is just internal fighting within the sect?"

"I know it even without you telling me, Canghai destroyed the sect and Nanyuan Mountain? Isn't he the real person behind the tragedy, Baili Ying Nei Ying?"

Zhuo Meng muttered, "Don't you already know that?"

"What does he want to do?" "This is the time." Ning wanted to figure out the key.

"What's the matter? Why don't you come and ask me in person? Why do you need to ask other people?" A ghostly voice sounded in the courtyard. Shi Ning immediately became more vigilant and looked towards the courtyard.

Huang Xueping still looked as skinny as a stick, but his energy was too high, and his eyes were fixed on Shi Ning as if he was poisoned.

Shi Ning looked anxiously at Shan Nai and Zhuo Meng, but there was no trace of these two people.

Huang Xueping said quietly: "They are not in the dream, so Master Shi doesn't have to worry."

"What exactly do you want to do?" Shi Ning held the Wen Feng Vine firmly in his hand, and his body tensed.

Huang Xueping looked relaxed and sat at the stone table. He chuckled and said, "Don't be so nervous. You are always smart and obedient, and I love you the most. I will definitely not treat you like the mermaid clan or the werewolf clan." Shi Ning

listened to Huang Xueping's words quietly and sneered: "If I'm not obedient enough, then they will be my fate."

Huang Xueping laughed twice, and his thin and dry face became more ferocious when he laughed.

"So I first praised you for being smart, and then I praised you for being obedient."

"I really didn't expect that you would know it was me so quickly." Huang Xueping straightened his sleeves and said calmly: "Then have you guessed anything else? "?"

Shi Ning's eyes became cold, "The death of grandparents, parents, master, and even the piranha plant from more than 30 years ago, the immortal rope on the black feather crane's hand, and the concentration in Xuanwu's body. Soul Needle, are you doing all of this?"

Huang Xueping's smile deepened and he smiled briskly; "

Why?" Shi Ning's voice was trembling. In fact, these things were happening to Shi Ning. She wasn't sure that it was Huang Xueping who did it. She was just a little confused and couldn't figure it out, so she asked. I didn’t expect that so many things were really done by the person in front of me. Wenfeng Teng couldn't help but break away from Shi Ning's hands and rush towards the evil ghost opposite.

Huang Xueping did not answer Shi Ning's question. He just took the Wen Feng Vine and tied it in his palm. After looking at it for a long time, he said: "It is a magic weapon that is suitable for you." After saying that, he threw the Wen Feng Vine towards Time is peaceful.

Shi Ning took Wen Feng Teng, her eyes filled with scarlet blood. The family she once longed to see was so easily destroyed by Huang Xueping.

"Why? So why is this happening?" Shi Ning felt unstable and shouted at the top of his lungs. Whether it was his grandparents, his father, his mother, and his master, they all treated Huang Xueping like a relative. Why on earth would he do this?

Huang Xueping just looked at Shi Ning quietly and said, "Why, I also want to ask why."

"But why doesn't Heaven tell me why?"

Shi Ning could not stand steadily and could only rely on the stone wall behind him. His internal organs seemed to be squeezed together, making him die of pain. He wanted to rush forward and die with Huang Xueping, but he knew that he couldn't kill him at this moment.

Shi Ning closed her eyes weakly, and after a long time she asked in a hoarse voice: "Because of Xiaojiu?"

Huang Xueping was a little surprised, and then responded: "Bailiying actually told you this."

Just listening to Huang Xueping's voice, Shi Ning couldn't hide the hatred in his heart and wished he could kill his enemy with his own hands, but at the same time there was a voice in his heart telling him that it was not the time yet.

"Since you don't plan to kill me, why do you want to tell me this?" In the quiet room of Suiyu, only Shi Ning's rapid breathing could be heard.

Huang Xueping said in a relaxed tone: "After you left, I found that Zhu Meng was missing. I originally wanted to kill you, but I discovered a secret, and this secret can help me a lot." At the end of the sentence, the smile on the corner of Huang Xueping's mouth was not at all Can't help it.

Shi Ning immediately realized what secret Huang Xueping was talking about. There was only one secret tonight. That is, Xuanzhen Taoist Ancestor is Jing Li, a giant black dragon.

"It's God's will to help people." Huang Xueping's eyes were full of greed, "Dragon, that's a dragon."

"Xuanzhen Daozu happens to be the top spiritual beast, and his inner elixir is better than any other spiritual beast's inner elixir. "

"You are crazy!" Shi Ning felt that he was blind at this moment, unable to tell whether the people around him were human or ghosts.

Huang Xueping said indifferently: "I have gone crazy a long time ago. I went crazy on the day Xiaojiu died. Why, why would heaven do this to me."

Shi Ning had also regretted the incident between Huang Xueping and Xiaojiu before, but when it came to Now all that is left is a deep hatred for Huang Xueping.

"Heaven is unfair, why did you kill my family?"

Huang Xueping's eyes were full of sternness, "Shi Mian and Jiang Suyin clearly have so many protective weapons. If they protect Xiao Jiu with all their strength, how could Xiao Jiu die?"

Shi Ning felt it was unreasonable. If she hadn't witnessed the scene with her own eyes, she might have been convinced by Huang Xueping's fallacy. At that time, when Huang Xueping and Xiaojiu were together, their grandparents disagreed, saying that they would definitely be punished by God. But the two of them insisted on this, and it was hard for others to say anything. As for the magical weapons to protect themselves, their grandparents gave Xiaojiu and Huang Xueping the best magical weapons to avoid thunder disasters. I just felt that the other items were of little use, so I didn’t give them to them. If heaven-level magic weapons can't stop the thunder tribulation, what's the use of having more earth-level magic weapons. I didn't expect that just because of this, I would be killed.

Huang Xueping continued: "As for your parents, hehe. How come they can get married and have children, but Xiaojiu and I have to part ways."

Shi Ning became more and more determined at this moment that Huang Xueping was really sick, "What about my master? " Your master, his fault is just like you, he is

too smart and disobedient. He noticed something strange about Shi Mian's death, so I had to send them to reunite."

Well, they won't be lonely underground."

Shi Ning couldn't say a word at the moment, and there was nothing worth arguing with the madman.

"The same is true for the disciples who died because of the piranha."

Huang Xueping said, "Oh, yes, actually, among those who died, a few of them were your fellow disciples. Tsk, tsk, it's a pity that you haven't seen them. Pass."

Shi Ning forced herself to stand up, the veins on her arms showing her pain at the moment, "The Black Feathered Crane and the Piranha are the powers you secretly cultivated, and you gave the Immortal Binding Rope to the Black Feathered Crane King, right? , but you didn't expect that the two parties would actually kill each other." Seeing Huang Xueping's slightly ugly expression, Shi Ning knew that he had guessed it right.

"Hui Ji will die, I thought you wouldn't live to be twenty years old. But luckily you survived, otherwise why would you have given me such a big surprise?"

Shi Ning said in disgust, "Don't be disgusted with me, I am There's no way I'm going to be complicit with you." She wanted to cut Huang Xueping into pieces, so how could she survive under the hands of the enemy who destroyed her family?

"You will." Huang Xueping said firmly.

Shi Ning didn't even look at Huang Xueping, thinking in her mind how to kill him.

"Do you know why I chose Nanyuan Mountain and Canghai?"

Shi Ning silently thought about the locations of these two places. Canghai is in the north and Nanyuan Mountain is in the south. One south and one north, one mountain and one river.

"You want to set up a formation?"

Shi Ning suddenly understood everything at this moment. The inner elixirs of so many spiritual beasts were not used to increase their cultivation, but were used as the eyes of the formation.

"There is another place, do you know where it is?"

Shi Ning said quickly: "The Cave of a Thousand Caves, the Fire Fox Clan."

"How could Baili Ying allow you to do this!"

Huang Xueping didn't care: "Three places are connected, and the formation is complete. , reverse time and space, live three hundred years ago, and have everything. These spiritual beasts are just reborn. For Xiaojiu, Baili Ying will agree."

"But what if they fail to practice for thousands of lives? After all these years, why should I sacrifice my name for your own selfish desires?" Shi Ning shouted with all her strength.

Huang Xueping opened his lips slightly and said crazily: "If they fail, they will all be buried with Xiao Jiu."

The Fire Fox clan in the east, together with Nanyuan Mountain and Canghai, just formed a stable triangle formation. And the center of the triangle formation is Chengtianmen!

"What exactly do you want to do with the sect?" Shi Ning realized that the position of Chengtian Sect was very dangerous.

Huang Xueping said cheerfully: "At first I really wanted to use the power of the sect as a magic eye to open the formation, but I found a better thing."

"The inner elixir of Xuanzhen Taoist Ancestor." Huang Xueping couldn't restrain his tone. Greedy, as long as you think of using the True Dragon Inner Alchemy as Dharma Eye, the probability of success of the formation will be greatly improved. It's just that the Dharma Eye has disappeared, and it can't come back even if time and space are reversed. Of course, it was impossible for Huang Xueping to tell Shi Ning.

Huang Xueping continued: "Xuanzhen Dao Ancestor is your spiritual beast. Spiritual beasts are the most obedient to their masters. It's easy for you to take out his inner elixir."

"Shi Ning, think about it, it only takes one inner elixir. , after the formation is successful, we can go back to three hundred years ago. At that time, you can meet your grandparents, and your father, mother, and master. Then there will be no problem if you want to renew your relationship with Xuanzhen Taoist. "

"Do you think this is true?" Huang Xueping's bewitching voice lingered in Shi Ning's ears.

"You're guaranteed to make a profit, Shi Ning?"

"Do you want to promise me?"

Shi Ning stopped at Huang Xueping's sunken face and asked, "What if I don't agree?"

Huang Xueping said with a hint of regret, "What if you don't If you agree, I can only use the power of everyone in Chengtian Sect as a magic eye. But if it fails, it will be your fault. "This

is simply unreasonable.

"But you are a smart kid, I know you will make the right choice." Huang Xueping said.

Shi Ning hesitated and asked, "What are the chances of winning as Dharma Eyes for Chengtianmen and Daozu Neidan respectively."

"Chengtianmen only has a 50% chance of winning, while Daozu Neidan has an 80% chance." Seeing that Shi Ning was wavering, Huang Xueping continued. : "There is an 80% chance that we can go back to three hundred years ago."

Shi Ning closed his eyes and said, "Let me think about it."

The ground suddenly shook, someone was attacking the dreamland. Huang Xueping disappeared immediately, leaving only Shi Ning and the voice he heard saying: "Come to me when you think about it."

When Shi Ning opened his eyes again, he saw Jing Li standing aside, his eyes full of worry.

"You were pulled into a dream again just now." Jing Li felt a little regretful for a moment. If he had explained clearly to Shi Ning and come all the way back, Shi Ning would not be in danger alone.

Shi Ning stood up and felt that all the strength in his body had been drained. Jing Li helped the man into the room. When Shan Nai saw him coming in, he quickly hid aside. It seemed that he already knew his identity.

As soon as Shi Ning sat down, Jing Li said sincerely: "Shi Ning, I'm sorry. When we first met, I really didn't want you to know that I was Xuanzhen Taoist. Because I felt that it was embarrassing to be a spiritual beast. , I don’t want others to know about this. I wanted to tell you later, but I never found the right opportunity, because in your heart, Xuanzhen Daozu is a very good person.”

“But I am not, I am just a dragon. "The more Jing Li spoke, the quieter his voice became. Almost only Shi Ning and himself could hear it. At the same time, you can also feel a strong sadness in his tone.

Shi Ning's expression softened a lot, but his eyes remained on Jing Li's dantian.

"So, please don't be angry, okay." Jing Li has lived for almost a thousand years, and he has never been so humble before. But at the moment, he didn't feel anything was wrong at all, because he just wanted Shi Ning not to be angry with him or blame him.

Shi Ning raised his eyes and said, "If I ask you to do something, I won't be angry. Will you do it?"

Jing Li said without hesitation, "Of course, I will definitely do it."

"What is it? "Jing Li asked impatiently.

Shi Ning asked in confusion, "Don't you even ask what's going on?"

"What if it's your life?"

Jing Li asked, "Will you kill me?"

Shi Ning said seriously: "I will."

Jing Li was silent for a moment. Just when Shi Ning thought he was going to regret it, he heard the other person say decisively: "Here you go."

"Are you crazy?" Shi Ning felt that he had met two madmen one after another in one night. Or she herself is crazy.

Jing Li was so tall that when he stood up straight, his shadow alone could cover Shi Ning's entire body. However, at this moment, he was like a big dog that was afraid of being abandoned by its owner, with his eyes lowered and looking like he was being slaughtered.

Shi Ning rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"I said I was willing to give you my life." Jing Li repeated it honestly.

"Why?" Shi Ning couldn't figure it out. There were too many things she couldn't figure out that night.

The person who had not hesitated just now was hesitating now, not knowing how to speak. He held it in for a long time and said, "Are you still with the key I gave you last time?"

"Bronze key?" Shi Ning had been carrying it close to him. .

"Take you somewhere." Jing Li said.

"Where?"

There are green mountains in the distance, and under the moonlight, the entire mountain range is shrouded in a mysterious color.

"Why did you bring me to Wuya Mountain?" Shi Ning asked, holding the bronze key.

Jing Li took Shi Ning until they saw the rocks, but there was no road in front of them. It's just that there seems to be a depression on the rocky cliff, which is exactly the shape of a bronze key.

Jing Li said: "Put the key up."

After Shi Ning complied, the cliff in front of him suddenly roared, and a huge gap opened in the middle of Wuya Mountain, revealing an extremely narrow road. Only then did Shi Ning realize that a hole seemed to have been dug in the middle of Wuya Mountain?

"Go in." Jing Li reminded.

Although he didn't say what was inside, Shi Ning still followed Jing Li in. As soon as the two of them approached the path, Wuya Mountain closed again from the outside.

Without the guidance of the moonlight, the cave fell into darkness. Even if Shi Ning has practiced cultivation, he is still a human being after all. He cannot be like Jing Li, who can see the road in front of him clearly even in the dark night.

In the darkness, Jing Li boldly stretched out his hand and said, "I'll take you away."

Shi Ning was silent for a while, but decided to take Jing Li with him. In fact, this is not the first time that the two of them have held hands, but the last time they took it out of their mind, they held hands out of desperation. But this time it was different.

He couldn't see his fingers, and couldn't see anything clearly in front of his eyes. There was only a warm touch in his palms, and Jing Li led Shi Ning forward step by step. Although he didn't know where he was going, Shi Ning felt inexplicably at ease.

The two of them had been walking for an unknown amount of time, but there was a faint light in the distance, which seemed to be an exit. Shi Ning thought so at first, but the closer he got, the more dazzling the light became.

When I walked in, I saw countless gold, silver, treasures and magical artifacts piled into a mountain. Who would have thought that there was a mountain of gold hidden in the steep Wuya Mountain.

Jing Li said: "Give it to you."

"Is this the wealth you have accumulated for nearly a thousand years?" Shi Ning thought of Jing Li, who was still a little dragon, and began to accumulate gold, catching the gold he liked little by little and then sneaking in quietly. Hidden in a cave, it's quite cute.

Shi Ning said: "You really gave it all to me? After saving so much for a thousand years, are you willing to give it up?"

Jing Li asked instead: "Do you like it?"

Shi Ning looked at the dazzling Jinshan Mountain. There is gold, and there are all kinds of magic tools that monks can only ask for. Saying that you don't like it must be against your will.

Shi Ning looked at Jing Li and saw her own reflection in his eyes again, and asked, "Why did you give these to me?"

Jing Li said embarrassedly, "Because Shan Nai told me before that Ao Ling left. I gave you a jade plaque."

Shi Ning said meaningfully, "So you plan to give me a gold mountain when you leave."

Jing Li muttered, "I won't leave."

"Do you like it?" Jing Li asked again expectantly. After all, this was all his net worth. Before handing over his life, he had to hand over his net worth as well.

Shi Ning replied seriously: "I like you."

"Thank you."

Jing Li's ears turned a little red, "Just like it."

"I like you too." Jing Li whispered in a small voice.

But Shi Ning was still a monk at the Nascent Soul stage, so even though her voice was soft, she could still hear it clearly.

Shi Ning turned his head and stared at Jing Li quietly without saying a word. After a long time, he replied in a small voice: "Silly dragon."

Even though he knew he would be punished by God, he still liked him.

"Aren't you angry anymore?" Jing Li asked.

Shi Ning let out a long sigh of relief, that's all, it doesn't matter if it's Daozu, or Jing Li. No matter what, he is just a stupid dragon.

"I'm not angry. Don't hide it from me anymore."

"I promise not." Jing Li swore with three fingers.

The two of them chatted a few words, and they cherished the only time they had.

"Jing Li." Shi Ning suddenly shouted.

"I'm here."

"I want your inner elixir."
