Chapter 111 [111] Mysterious old woman, terrible magical power
"Master Ning is here."
Hearing the sound, the old woman spoke weakly. Although she was blind, she still accurately looked at where Ning Xiu was.
This kind of thing can be done by ordinary blind people, not to mention the unfathomable appearance of the old woman in front of her.
Ning Xiu saw that the other party even knew his surname, so he must be very aware of his identity. Today, he invited himself here with a mouse, and most of the time he had to ask him to do something on his behalf.
"Master Ning, please sit down, Aying, don't hurry up and wipe the chair for Master Ning, don't stain his robe." The old woman said.
The little girl squatting beside her immediately got up and did the same, wiped off the stains on the bamboo chair next to her with her sleeves, and carefully placed it in front of Ning Xiu.
"If you have something to say, just say it directly. I also have something to do, so I don't have time to delay here."
"Lord Ning is busy, I know it, but please sit down and listen to what I have to say. If you can help, I am very grateful, and I will definitely thank you in the future."
Ning Xiu sat down on the bamboo chair and said calmly, "Then tell me."
At the same time, he quietly performed the Qi Consciousness Technique, intending to see the details of the old woman in front of him.
When Ning Xiu saw three lines in front of him, his field of vision was immediately occupied by a red light.
Ning Xiu's face changed slightly as he saw it, the old lady's luck line turned out to be red and purple! There is purple in the red, and there is red in the purple, which is no trivial matter.
This is the person with the most prosperous qi luck that Ning Xiu has ever seen since he possessed the skill of watching qi and knowing the luck.
Most of the ordinary people are light blue in the four colors of luck, light blue for luck, they are ordinary all their lives, suffer from minor illnesses and disasters, have a peaceful family, but have difficulty in making money, and they are just ordinary people all their lives.
The luck of wealth and officialdom is higher than that of ordinary people, and they are more likely to do something. Private shopkeepers, employees, wealthy businessmen, scholars, and county magistrates mostly have this kind of luck.
The top of the green is red, and the light red one can continue to rise in the official position. It is not like some officials who have been an official for a lifetime until they retire and return to their hometowns are still small county magistrates.
If you do business, you can get rich and famous.
If you practice cultivation, there are often small opportunities, and the speed of cultivation is much faster than ordinary people. Even in the fate, there will be no less help from the nobles, and it is not a problem to do things smoothly.
Light red luck can be regarded as one in a thousand. Once you reach the realm of deep red luck, there are very few people who can have it.
It is not too much to say that one person out of one hundred thousand.
Crimson lucky people are either high officials, generals, rich people, or those who have made great achievements at a young age, whose strength and ability far exceed those of middle-aged and elderly people who have been immersed in certain fields for decades.
In just a few years, the things he has done and the achievements he has achieved are enough to make the world stunned and jaw-dropping.
For example, some people who have practiced for 30 years are still at the seventh or eighth rank, but some geniuses can reach the fourth or fifth rank or even higher in just one or two years.
For example, some people spend fifty years to become the first-rank official, but some geniuses are only three or four years old, and they can be on an equal footing with them.
has nothing to do with talent, this is the power of luck, because you have talent and it is part of luck.
Therefore, people often say that if you are unlucky, you will choke to death if you drink water, and if you are successful, you will pick up money if you walk a few steps down the street.
Those who have great luck, everything goes smoothly, what you do, what you want to do, and what you want to do can trigger opportunities.
This kind of wonderful thing, ordinary people can't see through, only the way of luck can penetrate one or two.
Cyan-red is the upper limit of luck that the world can access, and when it comes to the two realms of purple and gold, it is extremely rare. Being able to meet one is considered to be the Son of Heaven.
For those with purple luck, Ning Xiu reckoned that the founding emperor of Dashang should be able to be at this level. Without that strong luck, he could not do such a thing of establishing a country.
As for the golden luck, Ning Xiu never thought about it. To have such a destiny, I am afraid that there is not necessarily one in the entire big business.
The old woman's luck line in front of her is already 'red to purple', and she has changed her appearance. In the future, she will have a great chance to complete the leap and become a light purple luck. The achievement is unimaginable.
Such an existence would actually take the initiative to find him, and Ning Xiu's heart immediately pondered.
"Lord Ning is already a third-rank Martial Dao at a young age, but I think your luck is not blue, and it stands to reason that you shouldn't have such an achievement. Presumably, Lord Ning should have some great opportunity. I am very optimistic about Lord Ning. In the future, I want to ask you to help me with this matter.”
As soon as the old woman opened her mouth, Ning Xiu was taken aback.
The other party can even see the luck line!
I rely on the technique of looking at the breath and knowing the movement, what about the other party?
The only people in the world who can have such means are those in the Dao of Qi Luck, and the Dao of Qi Luck has a very high threshold for cultivation. There are hundreds of thousands of martial arts, and the Dao of Qi Luck may even count on one palm. uneven.
As far as Ning Xiu knows, only the fact that Emperor Shang is a person of the Qi Luck Dao is public, and there is no second known person of the Qi Luck Dao.
"Senior's background and connections must be as huge as a mountain range. Why do you need to ask me to do something with a mere third-rank Martial Dao? I believe that with the ability of Qi Luck Dao, if you release a word, a lot of people will come over to do things for you." Ning Xiu said.
Ning Xiu's qi concealment method has only been upgraded to the level below the second-rank shield. The other party can see his true strength at a glance, indicating that this old woman is above the second-rank.
It is really unexpected that such a mysterious expert is hidden in a dilapidated tile-roofed house in the state capital of Donghai Prefecture.
"It's too late..." The old woman raised her head to the sky and sighed: "There is one thing I need to do, but my granddaughter can't go with me, so I will put her in this place. I really can't worry, and there is no one I can trust. Mr. Ning, you are one of the few people I recognize. Since you are the first among them to come here, please take care of my granddaughter. Wait. When I come back, I will be grateful."
Ning Xiu frowned: "One of the few? Did the seniors notice me a long time ago?"
"No, this is the first time I've seen you today, and it's the first time I know your name, your identity, and your name." The old woman shook her head directly.
"This...how is this possible." Ning Xiu's face was incredulous.
"Everything is in the sky, time will tell me what I want to know, but sometimes many things can't even see the time." The old woman put down the bowl of medicine in her hand: "I have already said what I should say. Now, my granddaughter A Ying will take care of you, Lord Ning."
Seeing her get up, her whole body began to gradually blur, gradually become more illusory and transparent, and began to dissipate like a mirage.
"Senior! I still don't know what you call it!" Ning Xiu hurriedly shouted.
But it was already too late, the surrounding white fog was rising, the sky was spinning, and the walls and tiles were twisted.
Ning Xiu only felt that his eyes suddenly turned white, and he lost consciousness in an instant.
…
"Wake up."
With a light drink in his ear, Ning Xiu suddenly opened his eyes and his consciousness returned.
Looking at the surrounding scenery, I found myself standing at the gate of the city, and a soldier guarding the city came over and yelled at him.
"Stand there motionless and do what, if you want to enter the city, hurry in, don't block the road and delay others."
"I...haven't entered the city yet?" Looking around in surprise, Ning Xiu's expression was quite unbelievable.
He just passed by this place, when he was entering the city, and not long after walking down the street, he was attracted by the mouse until he found the old woman's residence.
But in such a blink of an eye, why did he come back here again?
Ning Xiu was puzzled, he had never heard of such methods before.
Walking into the city again, looking at the extremely real environment around him, Ning Xiu couldn't help but mutter in his heart, was that scene just a dream of Huang Liang, or was he given some magical power by the old woman.
quickly came to the entrance of the alley next to the street just now. Looking at this alley, Ning Xiu thought for a while, but chose to walk in. He wanted to determine what happened just now.
Relying on his memory, Ning Xiu quickly came to the place where the tile-roofed house was, but he didn't know that there was no tile-roofed house at all. In front of Ning Xiu's eyes, there was only a solid wall, which was clearly an ordinary alley.
Seeing an old man pushing a scooter past, Ning Xiu hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Old man, has this place always been a wall? Have you ever built a tile house."
The old man scratched his head blankly: "This wall has existed for more than 20 years. When I built it, I also worked hard. It was built on an open space, and there were no tile houses."
Ning Xiu asked again, "Then, was there a blind old woman who lived nearby?"
"There is one lame, not blind."
The old man glanced at Ning Xiu suspiciously, and hurriedly pushed the scooter to leave quickly. At the same time, he couldn't help muttering: "This young man looks so strange, and asks about things that never happened."
After receiving the response from the locals, Ning Xiu was completely confused. It seemed that what had just happened was definitely not something he could come into contact with at this stage.
That must be some powerful supernatural power, and the old woman is a strong person far beyond the first rank.
Since this is the case, Ning Xiu no longer bothers to investigate the matter, anyway, if there is no old woman to explain his confusion, he should not be able to figure out what happened just now in a short period of time.
But the problem that Ning Xiu is facing now is that before the old woman disappeared, he said that he entrusted his granddaughter, Aying, to take care of him.
Ning Xiu can help with this, but the question is, where is the thin little girl next to the old woman now?
The whereabouts of everyone is unknown, and where to take care of them.
Just when Ning Xiu was wondering, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.
He turned his head to look, and saw a slender and tall beauty walking slowly. She was wearing a white dress, a hat with white gauze on her head, and a wide knife wrapped in animal skin in her hand. gorgeous.
"Sir Ning." The beauty lifted the white veil in front of her with one hand, revealing her true face.
The familiar skin was as white as snow. Even though the woman in front of him looked like she was 21 or 22 years old, Ning Xiu could still see the shadow of the thin little girl, A Ying, from her body at a glance.
"Are you A Ying?"
"Master Ning, it's me." A Ying chuckled.
The little girl has grown into a big girl, but she has become more beautiful and moving.
On the way to the yamen, the two began to communicate with each other.
"What the **** is going on? When I saw you in that tile-roofed house, you were only such a tall child. Why did you become so big in a blink of an eye?" Ning Xiu asked inexplicably. road.
A Ying is also quite puzzled about this question, because what she has experienced is not like this.
"After grandma finished talking that day, Sir Ning, you left. A few years later, before leaving, grandma specifically told me to come here every year today to see if I can meet you. When you arrive, I will stay by the side of the adults and do things with the adults, A Ying has been here for many years, but I didn't expect to see you today, Lord Ning."
"For several years..." Ning Xiu pondered.
Was his own time stolen, or was A Ying's time not his own time?
No matter what kind it is, the means that the old woman has are too terrifying, and this is not an existence that Ning Xiu can reach at present.
The identity is mysterious and the origin is mysterious.
It can even be said that the entire big business does not know whether there is any power that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the old woman.
Ningxiu immediately pulled over a passerby and asked, "May I ask what year is this year?"
"In the eighty-ninth year of Shangwu, what happened?"
"It's alright, alright." Ning Xiu was relieved when he heard the answer. The answer was consistent with the year he knew, which meant that he was not affected, which made Ning Xiu feel a lot more relaxed.
When came to the yamen, Ning Xiu approached the yamen to ask, and soon saw Chang Fenghai who had been waiting in the yamen for Ning Xiu to come back.
After the opponent revealed that he was a demon subduing captain of the Bronze Leopard Squad, he directly received preferential treatment from the city guard here, and his status was improved.
When Chang Fenghai came out to see Ning Xiu, the city guard also followed and greeted Ning Xiu.
"Sir, that Wu Zhu has been sent to the prison, and the prison cart specially used by the demons has been prepared. We can leave at any time and return to Jingzhou." Chang Fenghai said.
"Very good." Ning Xiu nodded: "Then this time, you will carry out the **** mission with our new team member, A Ying, to see that there are no other demons detained in this state, and all that need to be escorted will be transported back to the demon. manage."
Now, in Ning Xiu's Bronze Leopard team, there is a young genius Chen Peifeng with light red luck.
A Chang Fenghai who, although not cultivating, is a related household and has two great demons in his body.
A Ying with a mysterious origin, a strong background, and a powerful descendant.
The entire team has become more and more substantial. Under the leadership of Ning Xiu, his team will definitely become famous in the future.
"Lord Ning, what about you?" A Ying asked when Ning Xiu arranged for him to carry out the task.
"I have something to do in the past few days and need to go out. After you bring the demons here back to Fumosi, just wait for me to go back in Chaotiandu."
A Ying: "Okay, I see."
Aying looked at that although she was already a big girl, she was still somewhat ignorant and simple. Chang Fenghai had been a witch for many years, and with the teachings of demons, it was naturally reliable to do things.
The two returned to Beijing, and with Chang Fenghai taking A Ying, Ning Xiu was also relieved. After explaining some things, he hurried out of the city, joined the Demon Buddha and Jiaolong, and rushed directly to the northern frontier.
This matter of capturing Fang Jingzhou and bringing back Suzaku's blood cannot be delayed any longer.
After a long time, it is possible that other Fu Mowei will complete the task first, or Fang Jingzhou is completely hidden in the outer domain. Even with the powerful intelligence network of Fu Mosi, he cannot be found in the outer domain.
…
After hundreds of years of stalemate, the territory of the big merchants and other states that have not yet been recovered have produced great environmental changes.
Those lands that have been occupied by evil spirits for a long time, the yin and evil qi are crowded, which makes the land environment mutated.
While is more suitable for evil spirits to survive, it also means that the human race cannot live here for a long time.
Therefore, the states outside the territory are now called "outer territories" by the great merchants and commoners.
Outland is dangerous, there are many powerful evil spirits, and it also contains great opportunities.
Someone once discovered the rare material 'Tianjingshi' in the outer domain, which was mined from a piece of corroded ore and directly sold tens of thousands of taels of gold.
There were also people who disappeared directly into Outland, and it was not even clear whether they were dead or alive.
In order to prevent evil spirits or demons who fled to the outer domain from sneaking into the territory of Dashang, there is a very long line of defense in the frontier.
There are three frontier defense areas: Seven Kills, Greedy Wolf, and Breaking Army. They guard the frontier in the north, west, and south directions.
Sixiangzhou is located in the northwest. If you want to go there, you need to arrive at the Greedy Wolf Defense Zone. You can only leave Dashang after the border guard general agrees to release it.
On the way to the Greedy Wolf defense area, the number of black-feathered falcons that Ning Xiu saw on the road in the past few days is increasing, and each one represents a summoning order to subdue demons.
It is impossible to see the Black Feather Falcon when you stay in the sky. It is the safest place in the entire Dashang.
It can be seen that the closer you get to the frontier, the more difficult the situation here.
Jingzhou's safety and ordinary life are all burdened by the soldiers and subduing demon captains on the frontier side.
Above the sparsely grassy land, a continuous sky, a steel city wall entirely made of copper and iron sits.
Even if you are thousands of miles apart, you can still feel the oppression coming towards you.
This feeling is not from the city walls, but outside the city walls.
The sky outside the city wall was full of gray clouds, thick as snow, and the sky was dark and gloomy.
When Ning Xiu sat on the dragon and gradually approached, a cavalry came quickly from a distance and stopped Ning Xiu directly.
"Who?" the cavalry captain asked with a gun.
"Ning Xiu, the Bronze Leopard Subduing Demon Commander, received the summoning order to subdue the demons, and is going to go to Sixiang Prefecture today." Ning Xiu said with his bronze leopard token.
"This is your mount?" the cavalry captain asked.
"Yes."
"Come on, keep it under control, don't cause chaos in the defense zone, or even the Demon Commander's mount will be punished." The cavalry captain waved his hand, indicating that Ning Xiu could pass.
It is worthy of being a big business frontier. Just the captain of a patrol team has the strength of the fifth rank of martial arts, and the others are also in the sixth and seventh ranks. It seems that the real power of Dashang is mostly arranged in the three defense zones.
rode a dragon through the gate of the city wall, followed by the magic Buddha.
After passing through the several-meter-deep city gate, the scene outside immediately caught Ning Xiu's eyes, causing his expression to become serious.
traces, there are traces of being attacked everywhere. There are a lot of tooth marks, claw marks, and cracks on the ground and walls.
Some of the claw marks are as long as three people combined, which shows how huge the attacking body is.
The ground is even more stained with battle scars, and the bloodstains cannot be washed away even after washing.
Every person who passed by Ning Xiu's eyes had a strong murderous and **** aura, which must have been tempered by countless battles of life and death.
This is the inside of the city wall, and it needs to pass through another gate before officially leaving the territory of Dashang and entering the area of Sixiangzhou.
The moment Ning Xiu climbed out of the city gate, the dragon immediately attracted the attention of many passers-by.
Jiaolong is one of the most powerful types of monsters. There are very few people who can tame it. It is impossible to see Jiaolong coming to such a place on weekdays.
As a result, many people set their sights on Ning Xiu sitting on the back of the Flood Dragon. If he can tame a Flood Dragon as a mount, the master's strength must not be too weak.
Everyone soon realized that they couldn't see Ning Xiu's true strength.
His body was like a piece of mist, which cut off everyone's observation.
