Taiqing Sword

Chapter 16, Entering the Ruins

It is said that after Shangguan Jinghong settled down, he went downstairs again and returned to the crowd. Seeing that everyone looked at him strangely, he felt terrified: "Brothers, why are you looking at me like that?"

Nangong Lie looked around cautiously, making sure that Ning Ningxin was not there, and said in a low voice, "Brother Shangguan, could it be what I said just now?"

Shangguan Jinghong shook his head helplessly, knowing that they were all very curious about his relationship with Ning Ningxin, but they couldn't explain it clearly, so they could only eat with their heads down.

Xiang Tianwen also patted Shangguan Jinghong on the shoulder: "Haha, Brother Shangguan, you really are a hero." After saying this for no reason, Shangguan Jinghong simply ignored them, and he should eat and drink alone. drink.

Among the crowd, only Yue Shan's eyes were erratic, and he left on the pretext of having something to do.

The noise lasted until midnight, when everyone went back to their room to rest. They wanted to find someone to squeeze and sleep for a night, but they didn't want everyone to shut him out, so they had no choice but to go back to their own room, and walked at the door for a long time without daring to knock on the door. I fell asleep outside the door.

Ning Ningxin in the room knew that Shangguan Jinghong was outside the door, and even felt his movements clearly. A smile flashed across his stern face, and it was fleeting. He stepped forward and opened the door: "Do you want to sleep?" At this?"

Shangguan Jinghong stood up immediately: "Ah? Ah! I'm afraid you've already rested, so I'll be fine here."

"Come in." Ning Ning Xin turned aside to let Shangguan Jinghong pass, Shangguan Jinghong bit the bullet and entered the room with a dignified look.

"Miss Leng, go to sleep, I'll lie down on the table for a while." Without waiting for Ning Ning to speak, she immediately lay down on the table and pretended to be dead.

Ning Ningxin looked at Shangguan Jinghong, suppressed the inexplicable throbbing in her heart, and walked slowly to the window, constantly struggling in her heart, "What's wrong with me, because he said goodbye to the world, and I left the house where I lived for ten years." The burial of the heart is still because of a red bean poem he said... Hey, what am I thinking, my heart has long since died, and now I only have hatred. '

Shangguan Jinghong opened his eyes at some point during the process of pretending to be dead, seeing Ning Ningxin's back and the moon reflected outside the window forming a picture scroll, and inexplicably wanted to write a poem for this picture scroll: "The crows are exhausted, little Li Yin hates someone, the sudden snow blows the fragrance of the pavilion, and the breeze blows the plum in the vase, and the heart is turned to ashes." Shangguan Jinghong can't explain why, as soon as he sees Ning Xin, he can't help but plagiarize first poem.

Ning Ningxin's body trembled, and he seemed to see what he was thinking again: "Didn't you sleep?"

Shangguan Jinghong groaned inwardly, suddenly there was a woman by his side, who could sleep, the next sentence completely destroyed the previous atmosphere: "Ahem, long night sleepless, I thought it was only me Can't sleep, I didn't expect Miss Leng, you can't sleep either."

Ning Ningxin gave Shangguan Jinghong a hard look: "Sleep!"

The two of them didn't talk all night, but neither of them fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Bai Xingye and others came to knock on the door: "Brother Shangguan, it's time to hurry."

Shangguan Jinghong just fell asleep when he was woken up again: "I know, I know."

After calling Ning Ningxin, a group of five people were preparing to leave, and Xiang Tianwen came over: "Morning, everyone, are you ready to leave now?"

"Yes, Brother Xiang, all sects and sects are invited to go, the Palace Master sent me to the ruins this time, so I dare not delay." Bai Xingye said with a smile.

"That's right, then let's say goodbye, Brother Shangguan, thank you very much. If I can survive this trip to the ruins, I will definitely have a few drinks with Brother Shangguan." Xiang Tianwen still couldn't forget Shangguan Jinghong life-saving feelings.

"Brother Xiang, you're welcome. I'm also thinking about it. We'll have a few drinks when we return." Shangguan Jinghong also said politely.

Everyone looked at each other and arched their hands: "Farewell."

Thanks to Ning Ningxin's participation, Nangong Lie was quite honest along the way, and rarely talked, and Bai Xingye and others were rarely quiet.

After walking for a long time, Shangguan Jinghong said: "Brother Bai, we've been walking all morning, let's rest for a while."

Bai Xingye thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"Brother Shangguan, Brother Shangguan." A crisp voice came, and Shangguan Jinghong took a closer look, wasn't this Lin Yueer, the daughter of Lin Zhan from the Weiyuan Escort Bureau, and said with a smile: "Miss Yueer, why are you here? "

"Brother Shangguan, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here." Lin Yueer said excitedly.

"Yeah, I didn't expect Miss Yue'er to be so beautiful after more than two years."

"No way, Brother Shangguan made fun of me. By the way, Brother Shangguan, where are you going?" Lin Yueer smiled very sweetly when she heard Shangguan Jinghong's praise. Who doesn't like others to say that she is beautiful.

"Qingming Mountain." Shangguan Jinghong didn't intend to hide it, and said it directly.

"Ah? Is Brother Shangguan also going to investigate the ancient ruins?" Lin Yueer asked in surprise.

"Yeah, Miss Yue'er too?"

"En." Lin Yue'er nodded vigorously, and randomly shouted at two plain-clothed women not far away: "Master, uncle, come quickly."

The two women in plain clothes shook their heads helplessly, but still walked over slowly, Lin Yueer ran between them and held their arms affectionately: "Brother Shangguan, this is my master, this is my uncle, and I am going to From Qingming Mountain, I begged for a long time before agreeing to let me follow, fortunately I followed, otherwise I would not have seen Brother Shangguan."

Shangguan Jinghong looked at the two women, and gave a little salute: "Shangguan Jinghong of Ziwu Palace, I have seen two female heroes."

The woman Lin Yue'er called her uncle stepped forward and said in amazement, "Shangguan is shocked?"

Now Shangguan Jinghong was also a little surprised: "Do you recognize this heroine? Have we met?"

"Oh, Shangguan Hero, don't be offended, it's the little girl who was rude. Although we haven't seen it before, we have heard about Shangguan Hero from our teacher."

Shangguan Jinghong was even more surprised, I didn't know many people in total, and someone mentioned himself, so I had to ask: "I don't know who the commander is?"

"Master Cihang Zhai Jingxin, the little girl's Dharma name is Nianci, this is my junior sister Nianxin. Two years ago, when my teacher returned from Shuiyue Palace, he mentioned that Shangguan Hero was full of praise, so he was surprised and rude just now. .”

"It turned out to be a high-ranking apprentice of Cihangzhai. I'm sorry. Two years ago, I did have a relationship with Mrs. Jingxin. The teacher's demeanor is still unforgettable. I don't want her to remember me. I am really flattered." Shangguan Jinghong said. She was very impressed with Mrs. Jingxin, because if she wanted to make a move in Shuiyue Palace back then, Shangguan Jinghong at that time was no match at all.

"Master, Brother Shangguan, I don't even understand what you are talking about. We are all in Qingming Mountain, why don't we go together, master?" Lin Yue'er interjected, then looked at her master Nian Xin, and asked.

"Senior Sister, since we are seniors from Ziwu Palace, we..." Nian Xin said to Nian Ci.

"This..." Nian Chi hesitated.

"Haha, just now I wanted to invite the two heroines to go with me, I'm afraid it might be a bit abrupt."

"Well, I just don't know how to call these senior brothers?"

Shangguan Jinghong slapped his forehead, and said: "I forgot about this, Nianci Nianxia, ​​let me introduce you, this is Elder Bai Xing Yebai, this is Elder Nangong, this is He Cheng, the son-in-law of the old palace lord." Sun, this is, this is my good friend Ning Xin Leng."

Nian Ci and Nian Xin both heard that they are both elders of Ziwu Palace. Although they are of the same generation in terms of seniority, these few are all elders in the Jianghu. Startled, he looked at Ning Ningxin: "Could it be that Fairy Leng from Buried Heart Tomb?"

Ning Ningxin didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

Nian Xin and Nian Ci were taken aback. They didn't expect Shangguan Jinghong to be good friends with Ning Xin. Facing Ning Xin, who is as famous as Qing Xuzi of the martial arts myth, the two were at a loss.

Shangguan Jinghong smiled and said: "You two heroines, don't be restrained. In fact, Miss Leng is very easy to get along with."

The two nodded with a smile and did not speak.

On the contrary, Lin Yue'er looked at Ning Ning Xin curiously, stepped forward and grabbed her hand, and said, "Sister, you are so beautiful."

This shocked Nian Chi and Nian Xin, who is Ning Ning Xin, it is rumored that she murdered countless people in the heart burial tomb, this little girl is really ignorant, they both said in unison: "Yue'er, don't be rude. "

Lin Yue'er pouted and said, "Oh." She returned to the two of them resentfully.

Ning Ningxin was alone all the time, suddenly a little girl pulled her affectionately, and she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, joy and expectation.The frost on her face also slightly melted, but seeing the two calling Lin Yueer back, Ning Ningxin's face was once again covered with frost.

All of this was seen by Shangguan Jinghong. He walked up to Ning Xin with a smile, patted her on the shoulder lightly, and jokingly said, "Miss Leng, if I wasn't afraid of you beating me, I would also like to praise you for being beautiful." of."

Ning Ningxin cast a cold glance at Shangguan Jinghong, who was so frightened that Shangguan Jinghong quickly jumped aside, then snorted coldly, and ignored him, in fact, he felt extremely comforted.

Everyone chatted for a few words, and then started to hurry. Lin Yueer told Shangguan Jinghong about the process of her joining Cihangzhai. Seeing a few people begging in the city, she didn't know it was a kind of practice. She thought they were begging, so Lin Yueer, who was kind-hearted, gave all her snacks to Mrs. Jingxin. Seeing that this girl was kind-hearted, Mrs. Jingxin To comfort him, he immediately told Lin Zhan about his background and brought Lin Yueer back to Cihangzhai to teach martial arts. Yue'er became Cihangzhai's disciple.

A few people stopped and went, and arrived at the foot of Qingming Mountain three days later. All sects and sects gathered at the foot of the mountain, and the scene was extremely spectacular. Bai Xingye and others were busy greeting each sect, while Shangguan Jinghong began to look for Shuiyue Palace, and finally Seeing Feixue's figure in the crowd, he was overjoyed, hurriedly said a few words to Ning Ningxin, and walked over quickly.

"Master Feixue." Shangguan Jinghong shouted from afar.

When Feixue heard someone shout, she turned her head and saw Shangguan Jinghong, she was also happy: "Shangguan Shaoxia, are you here too?"

"Yeah, why didn't I see Narcissus?" Shangguan asked looking around in shock.

Feixue's complexion changed slightly, and she said: "Narcissus, Narcissus is practicing in seclusion with her master, she didn't come this time, I came with Junior Sister Mengyao."

Shangguan Jinghong didn't notice Feixue's change, and heard that Mengyao had also come: "Where is she?"

"You know, Mengyao is crazy, she doesn't know where she is going right now." Feixue said helplessly.

"Shangguan Jinghong? Why are you here too?" Said that Cao Cao had arrived, and Mengyao was a little surprised when she saw Shangguan Jinghong.

"Haha, if you can come, can't I come?"

Mengyao glanced at Feixue, and saw Feixue blinking: "Who dares not let you come, you were Narcissus two years ago..." "Hmm!" Halfway through the sentence, Feixue coughed, and Mengyao responded Ye Kuai: "That's right, you can't mention narcissus, lest it arouse some people's lovesickness."

Shangguan Jinghong shook his head with a wry smile, and wanted to ask about Narcissus' recent situation, when he suddenly heard someone shout: "Everyone, everybody, be quiet."

Shangguan Jinghong raised his eyes and saw an extremely burly man standing on a high place and shouted: "Fellow martial artists, I, Huangquanmen, discovered a relic in this Qingming Mountain today, and I want all of you to come and investigate together today." , but this time there are so many people that the treasures cannot be distributed evenly, and each school and faction must rely on their own luck..."

Bai Xingye did not know when he came to Shangguan Jinghong's side: "Brother Shangguan, this person is Yelang, the deputy head of Huangquanmen. His skill is comparable to that of the old palace head, and he is extremely insidious. If you meet this person in the ruins, you can avoid it." just avoid."

Shangguan Jinghong shrugged: "It doesn't matter, anyway, the old palace lord told me that life is the most important thing."

"...Everyone, don't gossip, everyone, please enter the ruins."

Shangguan Jinghong looked at the entrance of the ruins: "Brother Bai, Brother Nangong, you go ahead." Bai Xingye didn't say much, but followed the crowd into the ruins. Anxious to enter, but looking at Ning Ningxin beside her: "Miss Leng, is this ruin an ancient tomb?"

Condensed heart nodded: "Almost."

"Do you think we are grave robbers? Is there a curse or something?" Shangguan Jinghong asked worriedly.

Ning Ningxin glanced at Shangguan Jinghong like an idiot: "There is so much nonsense, you can't get in."

Shangguan Jinghong choked on Ning Ning's heart, shook his head and walked in.

"What's the situation, there were so many people just now, why couldn't I see any of them, all the money fans, walking so fast." Shangguan Jinghong looked at the empty secret road.

Ning Ningxin frowned: "Not necessarily."

"What do you mean?"

"I think we are not following the same path as them." Ning Ningxin said slowly.

"Are you kidding, we watched them come in."

"Just walk around and you'll find out." Ning Ningxin was just guessing.

Shangguan Jinghong couldn't hold back: "I said Miss Leng, Fairy Leng, did you see something, can you tell me, there was a large group of people just now, and they can take care of each other, now it's just the two of us, I don't want to Unexplainably died here."

Condensed heart contemptuously glanced at Shangguan Jinghong: "Most of the ancient relics are extremely dangerous, otherwise, would Huangquanmen invite you to come together? I have already taken away the treasures of the relics by myself. Now you know that you are afraid of death, what are you doing earlier?" gone."

"Wow, you actually said so many things at once." Shangguan Jinghong's expression seemed to have discovered a new world, extremely exaggerated.

Ning Ningxin's face turned cold: "Do you want to die?"

Shangguan Jinghong shrugged helplessly: "I am going to die, and you will be left alone."

Ning Ning Xin ignored him, and continued to walk forward, Shangguan Jinghong was startled for a moment, followed quickly, and walked in front of Ning Ning Xin.

Ning Ningxin pushed him aside: "Have you ever entered the ruins? Don't get in the way."

Shangguan Jinghong looked at Ning Ning Xin solemnly: "Hey, it's just the two of us now, you are a woman, if there is any danger, I can block it first." After finishing speaking, he ignored Ning Ning Xin and walked forward on his own.

Ning Ning stared at Shangguan Jinghong's back in a daze, tears flashed in his eyes, but unfortunately the secret passage was too dark.
