In addition to the danger of magic cultivators, there are many malicious villains outside of Ning. The more dangerous the area, the more chaotic.
Along the way, Ning Xuan encountered five black shops, four traffickers, and many thieves, but she was always vigilant when she was out of the house, and she also developed a "skill" in the palace, and she was full of heart.
Haizhu Country is far away, and Ning Xuan will inevitably feel bored when she walks alone.
The purse around her waist was just stolen by a thief, and she was still sitting at the roadside wonton shop drinking soup, as if she didn't know anything.
The thief, who seemed to be less than ten years old, threw away the embroidered purse, thinking that it might be worth a lot of money to sell it.
As soon as the thief opened his purse, the back of his head was hit by a small stone. He was startled, and before he could react, a broken tile came out of the air at a very fast speed, rubbed the tip of his ear, and hit him in front of him. wall, deeply embedded in the wall.
"Oops, my head is a little too short."
A female voice came from behind him, her tone with ease and ease.
The thief stared at the broken tile in the wall and broke out in a cold sweat. If the broken tile hit his head, I am afraid he is no longer alive.
The person who knows the current affairs is Junjie. He was about to run away, and he prepared to climb over the wall with both hands and feet, and fled to another place. Another piece of tile flew over and pinned him and his clothes directly to the wall.
Ning Xuan walked over unhurriedly and took back the purse in his hand.
"For the sake of your young age, I won't send you to the government."
Ning Xuan put the purse back on her waist, turned around and was ready to leave.
"Government? They can't take care of themselves, so they don't care about our lives! If you want to survive, you can only rely on yourself!"
The thief behind him roared angrily, "What I stole by myself is me. things!"
Ning Xuan clutched her purse. Along the way, she has seen too many cold and warm things in the world.
If everyone in this world can afford food and have a safe and stable place to live, who would be a thief?
The closer you get to Haizhu Country, the more such things happen. But if you go further, when you have to take a boat to reach Haizhu Island, there is almost no one here, and when you look around, the sea seems to be covered with a thick layer of fog, and you can't see the front at all. road.
"Girl, is this your first time here?"
Ning Xuan hired an old man as a guide, but the old man said that he was only responsible for sending her to the pier near Haizhu Country. As for going to the island, he didn't say anything. Ken take her there.
"Today's Haizhu Country is already an uninhabited island country, but it is said that there is a treasure left by the Xuanqing Dragon Girl on Haizhu Island, which has attracted many desperadoes to Haizhu Island. However, once they set sail by boat, , before reaching Haizhu Island, he was already lost in this sea area, and he could never find his way, so he could only die at sea. Every night, ghost ships would appear in this sea area, all these dead desperadoes The disciples are obsessed with finding treasures."
When the old man talked about these legends, the old voice had a taste of storytelling, which made Ning Xuan shudder.
Ning Xuan subconsciously touched the "shark pearl" on her wrist, and a slight warmth came from above, which made Ning Xuan's mood a lot more calm.
"Girl, I don't think you came here for treasure, why did you go to such a dangerous place?"
The old man was grateful to Ning Xuan for the money, which was enough for his family to live for ten years.
Ning Xuan raised her head to look at the foggy sea. The sun fell on the sea, but it couldn't dispel the fog in front of her. She could only see the world in front of her.
"I'm just looking for a turnaround,"
she said,
even if that turnaround is unlikely to be found.
Ning Xuan clearly knew the danger ahead, especially because she had experienced the North Realm Demon Cultivator. She knew that once she encountered these things that were beyond the scope of a mortal, she would be powerless as a mortal, but even so, She also has to move on.
"Old man, if...if I can't come back, and then someone finds me here and asks you about me, you can tell them..."
Ning Xuan wanted to leave a message for those who searched for her later, but the words came out. Mouth, curved around.
The old man looked at the young girl in front of her. She raised a bright smile and said,
"I have no regrets."
The waves on the sea hit the shore and quickly receded.
The national teacher, who was far away in the capital, saw Ning Xuan's smile in the water mirror, and his heart stabbed like a needle. He also heard Ning Xuan's words "I have no regrets".
When Ning Xuan boarded a boat that could be driven by spirit stones and entered the sea, his water mirror would no longer be able to capture pictures of her, as if he was blocked by something, unless he personally came to the sea, Otherwise, no one can spy on the things inside.
The national teacher put away the water mirror, pressed the back of his hand to his lips, coughed repeatedly, his throat was sweet, and coughed again, and he coughed up blood.
As if he was used to it, he took a clean handkerchief from the side, wiped off the blood on his lips and the back of his hands, dipped the blood-stained handkerchief into the basin, and walked slowly into the inner room.
In the huge room, there are only four floor stone lamps, and the light inside is not like candlelight. The light source of the whole room comes from these lamps, and the floor stone lamp of the same style also has the one in the middle of the room, but For some reason, the stone lamp has gone out.
The national teacher stood in front of the stone lamp in the center, took out a dagger, cut his heart, stood with his fingers, drew a drop of blood from his heart, and fell onto the stone lamp wick in the middle.
At the moment when the blood dripped, the wick ignited a faint blue flame.
The stone lanterns in the four directions suddenly dimmed at the same time. Although the light did not go out, it was a little dimmer than the light just now.
The figure of the national teacher swayed, and the fingertips became transparent at a certain moment, as if they were about to disappear.
He bit the tip of his tongue, his handsome face showed a painful expression, and there was an irresistible sadness between his beautiful eyebrows.
On the other side, Ning Xuan's boat sailed into the fog. She turned her head and couldn't see the old man standing on the shore. She couldn't see the legendary Haizhu Island when she looked forward.
She was left alone, or she was alone.
Ning Xuan took a deep breath and took out an old compass from the luggage she brought, with incomprehensible characters engraved on it.
She put the compass next to the spirit stone drive, and the compass pointer swayed, pointing firmly in a certain direction.
The waves beat against the hull of the boat, Ning Xuan sat cross-legged on the boat, her body shook involuntarily, the sound of the waves could be heard in her ears, as if even her brain was about to flood into the sea.
The boats on the shore are all small boats left by the people of Haizhu Country.
According to previous rumors, it is only necessary to put a spirit stone into the power groove that drives the boat, and the boat can go to Haizhu Country on its own. This is how Haizhu people traveled to and from Haizhu Country in the past.
Ning Xuan took out an old booklet with a map to Haizhu Country on it. Combined with the direction of the compass, if everything went well, she should be able to reach Haizhu Country in less than half a day.
This booklet was also a manuscript that her master had found in the library of his hometown when she saw that she was interested in Haizhu Kingdom. The booklet in Ning Xuan's hand was still the manuscript of the master's grandfather.
At sea, time can only be judged by light, but if the weather is bad, the time becomes blurred.
Ning Xuan didn't know where she was now, nor what time it was. She read this manual over and over several times. It only briefly described the background of the Haizhu country, saying that it was the Haizhu people and the sea monsters. They have a close relationship and even intermarry, such as Xuanqing Longnu and her mortal husband.
The light is getting darker and darker, which also indicates that night is coming.
Ning Xuan walked into the cabin, lit a small lamp, and wanted to take a rest, but she was not used to life at sea. As soon as she closed her eyes, she was woken up by the shaking of the waves.
This sea area has never heard of demonic cultivators, but Ning Xuan is not too afraid. The only thing is that she doesn't like darkness, nor does she like narrow spaces.
When the hanging lights suddenly went out, Ning Xuan suddenly woke up, her heart pounding.
The more frightened she was, the more sober she became.
The beads on her wrist exuded a faint light, and when Ning Xuan woke up, the light of the beads became more and more bright, and there was a phantom in front of her eyes that had not been seen for a long time.
The phantom was just like what she remembered, wearing a moon-white gown and long black hair scattered behind her. Every time she appeared, her eyes would stare at her with emotions she couldn't understand.
She is afraid of unknown ghosts, but she is not afraid of the national teacher in front of her. Even if he appears very strange every time, it is almost the same as the ghost in this story, but as long as she thinks that he has always guarded Ningguo and the people of Ningguo, she will still Once given her a goldfish lantern, she would not be afraid.
"...Master National Teacher."
Ning Xuan calmed down, her voice still trembling, she stood up and bowed to the National Teacher.
When the national teacher saw Ning Xuan, his heart finally settled down.
"Your Majesty is very worried about you."
He was talking about the prince, but he was thinking about himself.
Speaking of the emperor's brother, Ning Xuan's fear was dissipated a lot. She is looking for a turning point for the entire Ning Kingdom and for the mortals of Tianyuan Continent.
"I know, but someone has to do this, even if it's not me, it will be someone else. Originally, the best candidate should be a member of the Nine Spiritual Guards, but since the foreshadowing of the shards of the star instrument was sent back to the capital, the exploration The members of the Nine Spiritual Guards will no longer be able to contact them."
Ning Xuan paused, the magic formation in Ningguo was not friendly to these special members of the Nine Spiritual Guards.
"They were originally from Ningguo, but in order to protect most of Ningguo, they had to leave their own country. I understand the choice they made, and I appreciate everything you have done to Ningguo, but I think..."
Ning Xuanyang Her head looked at the sight of Shang Guoshi, and the blood in her eyes was so familiar, so familiar that he recalled how long, long ago, he also had such blood.
"It was Ningguo who gave me everything, and the people of Ningguo gave me everything. As the princess of Ningguo, I have the responsibility and obligation to protect every citizen of Ningguo. If I can do it, I am also willing to protect the entire Tianyuan Continent. Because , I am a native of Ningguo, and a mortal from Tianyuan Continent," she said.
