Peerless War Emperor

Chapter 7
The night moon poured down like water, and the entire Ning family compound was silent, only the chirping of some insects, which exuded a sense of tranquility.

On the way back, Ning Xia kept trying to figure out what was going on in the wordless scripture. Looking at his father's solemn expression, this scripture was absolutely hidden, and it might contain something astonishing. Moreover, the more he thought about his mother's identity, the more he felt that his mother The background is not simple.

Outside the room, Lan'er stood tall, as if she was looking forward to it. Seeing Ningxia appear in the dark night, her expression brightened, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but when she found that the latter was full of worries Lan Er blinked her big eyes playfully, and said doubtfully.

"Master... what's wrong with you?!"

Ning Xia, who was frowning and thinking about the scroll secretly, was awakened by the sudden voice, looked up and found the slim Lan'er in front of her, and asked involuntarily, "It's already this time, why are you still awake?"

Blinking her eyes, Lan'er smiled and said: "I think the young master has just gone out, so let's see when the young master will come back."

Ning Xia shook his head and said, "I've said it many times, if you come back late, don't wait for me."

He had no way to deal with Lan'er. When he went out to practice before, Lan'er was waiting for him at the door like this every night. Sometimes when he came back late, he found Lan'er asleep in the door. It was a common thing.

"It's okay, Lan'er went to bed very late"

Lan'er smiled, as if she could see Ningxia come back, she would be very satisfied.

Ning Xia touched Lan'er's head, feeling warm in his heart, walked into the room, seemed to think of something, said: "Oh, by the way, Lan'er went to get a basin of water."

Being touched by Ningxia's big hand, Lan'er blushed pretty, and shrank her head cutely. When she heard the former's words, she woke up with a start. Although she was a little confused, she still nodded. When she came back again, She couldn't help but startled with her pretty face.

I saw Ningxia holding a scroll, staring at the firelight carefully with his eyes wide open, one of them was almost pasted on the scroll, and sniffing it from time to time, his appearance was quite funny.

Blinking her eyes, after a moment of stupefaction, Lan'er immediately covered her mouth and chuckled, the young master has always been strong, Lei Li is popular, it's rare to see him like this, he feels a bit naive.But it could also be seen that Ning Xia was busy, so he didn't bother him, Cheng Qiao stood aside, looking at Ning Xia who was arranging the scrolls with watery eyes, with a hint of doubt.

"Not in firelight."

After watching carefully for a while, Ning Xia shook his head, went to the water basin, and put the scroll into the water basin to try it out.But it's a pity that the mirror-smooth scroll exudes a faint luster, and it doesn't change at all in the water, and there is no reaction at all.

"Or not."

Ning Xia sighed, took it out, the scroll was not dripping with water, and then tried it against the moonlight, but it was still useless, which left him speechless. He had read it in a book, and some of them contained mysteries. Only under special circumstances will a subtle reaction be produced.

"Father has guarded it for so many years, but he has not been able to break through the mystery. My father has definitely thought about the methods I use. It seems that ordinary methods are useless."

Ning Xia shook his head, knowing that the mystery inside would not be discovered overnight, but he was persistent and made up his mind to see what was inside even if he wanted to break his head.

In this way, the days passed day by day, except for eating and sleeping, he was always holding the scroll and studying.

As the New Year Festival is getting closer and closer, the weather has entered the cold winter period.

After waking up overnight, there was heavy snow falling outside. Between the sky and the earth, at a glance, it was covered in silver and covered with white snow, which was extraordinarily magnificent.

Long ice flakes hung down from the eaves, and people put on thick undershirts to sweep snow and de-ice in the yard.These ordinary people are not like warriors, and their physical fitness can keep out the cold, so they are all wrapped in thick linings.

Of course, Ningxia is also wearing winter clothes now. If it was before, he could survive the winter wearing a long gown, but now he has no inner strength. Without the protection of inner strength, he is just a little stronger than ordinary people.

"Master, I brought you fire coals"

Lan'er walked into the room holding the newly lit brazier. She was wearing a red dress with snow-white fluff, and her little face was flushed and very pretty.

However, Ningxia didn't notice Lan'er's arrival at all.Now his face is full of stubble, his hair is disheveled, he is holding the scroll in a dull manner, his eyes are hollow, bloodshot, extremely decadent.

Looking at the picture of Ningxia, Lan'er felt a little distressed, it had been five days, and the young master has always been like this, even eating and sleeping, holding the scroll, as if possessed by a demon.

"Master, if you are tired, relax first, your body will not be able to take it anymore."

Lan'er spoke softly.There is already fog in the eyes.

It seemed that her words had an effect, Ningxia woke up with a jerk, startled Lan'er.

"Have it!"

Ning Xia's eyes were shining, and his hands were pointed like swords, and a bloodstain was drawn immediately, and the blood dripped onto the scroll.Over the past few days, he has tried everything he can think of, whether it is water, fire, moonlight, or the sun.

This was his last solution. He used to borrow some special items in the book that required blood to manifest, but such cases were pitifully rare, so he just remembered it.

"It must be successful."

Muttering to himself, Ning Xia's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the scroll, as if waiting for the lottery, with his throat raised to his throat.

"Ding!"

Blood dripped on the scroll, and there was a pleasant sound. At this moment, time seemed to freeze, everything around became quiet, Ning Xia was suffocated for a while, and even Lan Er's small face came closer, waiting for the final result.

After more than ten seconds passed, the burning heat in Ning Xia's heart was suddenly extinguished, and a cold air spread in his body, making his face ashen.Because the blood condensed into a blood drop, and it was spinning on it, the scroll did not respond at all.

"Damn! Failed again!"

Seeing that it was still useless, Ning Xia's eyes were tearing apart, and an invisible anger rose in his body. His spirit has been almost crippled by this scroll these days.

"Since it can't be opened, what's the use of you!"

Ning Xia let out a low growl, flung the scroll, and fell into the brazier with a bang, burning up.But as soon as the scroll was out of his hands, he regretted it. He was just driven by anger. Anyway, this is an item left by his mother.
However, it was too late to get it back now, the scroll had already been burned blazingly, Ning Xia sighed, his spirit was down again, clenched his fists, feeling guilty in his heart: "Father, I let you down."

This was his last straw, and now his hope has been shattered, and the loss in his heart can be imagined.Not only did he fail to reveal the secrets in the scroll, but he even destroyed the scroll. Self-blame, guilt, loss, and decadence were not all there at once.
Seeing the young master's appearance, Lan'er bit her seductive red lips with her white teeth, and wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say. Suddenly she caught the brazier out of the corner of her eye, and her pretty face was taken aback, surprised. road:
"Master, look?!"
