The mace was torn into pieces and scattered on the ground. The black silk thread covering its body gradually disappeared as the mace was shattered.

Tang Ning was slightly startled. He had seen this kind of black symbol before and knew that it was one of Little White Snake's magical powers. When dealing with the ant queen at the bottom of Changliu Lake, Little White Snake used this method to subdue the ant queen.

But the queen ant was still intact at that time, so why did it fall apart when it was used on the spiritual weapon today?

Tang Ning was puzzled and looked back at the little white snake, which was wagging its tail happily.

Tangning shook her head helplessly. Asking it for advice was a mistake. Just as he was about to put away the broken mace and the broken green sword, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

It seems that every time the little white snake shakes its head and tail in excitement, it is because the gray mist has swallowed up the monk's flesh and blood. Could it be that this is beneficial to its practice, so it appears excited?

Just like the green spiritual power in one's body absorbs other forms of spiritual power to strengthen itself, after this gray mist swallows the monk's flesh and blood, can it feed back to itself?

Tang Ning fell into deep thought. He remembered that when the little white snake advanced for the first time, it was after swallowing the spirit-detecting rat. Could it be said that its way of cultivation is to swallow blood and feed it back to itself?

After a while, he sighed slightly. He couldn't find an answer to this question even if he racked his brains.

Tang Ning put away the broken sword and the broken mace, and patted the little white snake on the head. The little white snake understood, shrunk suddenly, got into the spirit beast bag, and flew away towards the northwest.

……………………………………………………

After walking for most of the day, at nightfall, he was far away from the "murder place". He escaped from the light and fell into a mountain forest, sat down cross-legged, and swallowed a pill to restore the depleted spiritual power in his body.

Until dawn, he opened his eyes, took out the storage bag on Wang Zhongxuan's body, opened it, and saw twenty high-grade spiritual weapons arranged neatly inside. In addition, there were several bottles of elixirs and two spiritual weapons.

, and a bunch of miscellaneous items.

Tang Ning looked through them one by one, and found that one of the wooden boxes contained a red elixir the size of a steel ball.

He took it out and looked at it carefully for a while, with a helpless smile on his face.

This elixir is called Gentian Dan, and it is a necessary elixir for the Golden Elixir realm to cleanse the marrow and break bones. It has the same effect as the Foundation Establishment Dan, but the spiritual power it contains is completely different.

One of the main ingredients of gentian pill is the gallbladder of third-level snake monsters. However, snakes are obscene things, so the spiritual community gave it an elegant name, called gentian pill, which means forming a pill to transform into a dragon.

Wang Zhongxuan prepared this elixir, no doubt preparing to take it when he attacks the golden elixir realm in the future, but was intercepted by Tang Ning. This elixir is definitely a rare commodity in Xingang, and it can only be purchased from a large merchant guild outside.

If it had been in the past, Tang Ning would have been happy to get this thing. However, in the current situation, she is facing the tribulation of sighing, and has not made any progress in practice for decades. Even if she makes use of this elixir, there is no use for it, so there is nothing to be happy about.

He was about to put away the elixirs and leave the place, when suddenly, two figures came towards the mountain forest one after another, holding magical weapons.

Tang Ning's heart skipped a beat. Could this be the disciple sent by Fang City to track down Wang Zhongxuan's whereabouts? Did they know that Wang Zhongxuan was murdered so quickly? Or did an insider disciple from Fang City leak the news?

It shouldn't be! Even if they knew the news of Wang Zhongxuan's death, they would not pursue him so quickly.

His figure merged with the giant tree behind him. Looking at the two figures in the distance, he saw them falling straight into the forest. One of them was wearing a green and blue gauze skirt, and she was a dignified, beautiful and thin woman.

The other person has a fair complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is dressed in a Blood Bone Sect costume.

When the two of them got closer, Tang Ning could see clearly that the woman's face was pale and there was blood at the corner of her mouth. She was obviously seriously injured.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, as long as you hand over the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Water Cloud Formation, I will never make things difficult for you. Why waste your life fighting a trapped beast for the sake of others?" the man behind shouted.

I saw the golden mace striking down in mid-air. The woman bit her lips and tried her best to fight with each other. She formed seals with her hands and giant trees from the ground came out vertically and wrapped her inside. It was a wooden shield technique.

The golden mace hit the wooden shield, and only sawdust flew away. After a few blows, the wooden shield was broken, and the golden mace was struck at it. The woman protected herself with a black shield, and formed a seal in her hand, which condensed into more than a hundred weapons.

The ten-foot-long ice knife slashed at the man.

The man snorted coldly, formed seals with his hands, and formed several fire dragons in mid-air, facing the ice blade. The two struck each other, and all the ice blades were swallowed up. The fire dragons attacked the woman.

The woman was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, while the man was already a tenth level monk. The shield was crumbling under the attacks of the golden mace and the fire dragon. Just when it was about to be broken, the man suddenly fell down with a muffled groan, and the fire dragon dissipated.

Yu Long, the golden mace also fell to the ground.

The woman was stunned for a moment, then she opened her eyes and looked around, only to see a handsome-looking man standing behind the Blood Bone Sect disciple, but she didn't know when he arrived.

She swept away with her spiritual sense, but was unable to detect the specific spiritual fluctuations of the opponent at all. Obviously, the other party's cultivation level exceeded her ability to detect spiritual sense, at least for a late-stage foundation-building monk.

The woman was shocked and happy, and hurried forward to salute: "Junior Yu Huixin pays homage to senior, thank you very much for your help."

The reason why Tangning took action to save this woman was because the man was a monk from the Blood and Bone Sect. If it was a grudge between two casual cultivators, he might not be too lazy to take care of it.

But seeing the demon sect monk harming a weak woman, he, a Xuanmen disciple, had no reason to turn a blind eye, both in public and private matters.

"Who are you? Why did you provoke the Blood and Bone Sect monks?" Tangning asked.

"The junior is a casual cultivator. My father and mother left some things for cultivation. Unexpectedly, this thief knew about it and wanted to take it for himself. When the junior refused, he attacked and killed the junior. If it weren't for the compassion of the senior,

, the junior has been poisoned by him, and the senior has been so kind and virtuous that there is nothing to repay. I dare to ask your name, so that the junior can repay me in the future."

"A name is not enough. This is my resting place. I happen to have an old grudge with the Blood and Bone Sect, so I will help you deal with it. You can go!"

Yu Huixin glanced at him and said softly: "Senior Unknown, is he senior Tang Ning of the Qian Yizong?"

Tangning frowned when she heard what she said: "Do you recognize me?"

"It is indeed Senior Tang." After hearing this, Yu Huixin kowtowed and said, "My mother is Su Jiaorui. She was once greatly favored by senior, and she often mentioned senior's kindness to junior. Now that senior has saved her life again, please accept junior's bow.

.”

"Su Jiao Rui?" Tang Ning murmured to herself, and after thinking for a while, she remembered who came. It was the musician from Wang Xichuan, who later collaborated with Xiao Mobai and made a big fuss in Wang Xichuan.

At that time, I was ordered to collect evidence that the Dou family colluded with the Demon Sect, so they had an encounter: "It turns out that she is the daughter of fellow Daoist Su. Is Fellow Daoist Su okay?"

Yu Hui thought: "My mother has passed away long ago."

"Really? The past seems like yesterday!" Tangning sighed. He could still vaguely remember Su's delicate appearance, especially her voice when she played and sang the words. Think about it, more than a hundred years have passed since then. It's really amazing.

It's like a lifetime ago.

"I wonder where Fellow Daoist Su is buried? Since we are old friends and we are destined to meet again, let me go and pay homage." Tang Ning said. The reason why he made this request was that one of them was really sad, and the other two were deeply concerned about this matter.

Still have doubts.

A woman he rescued unexpectedly turned out to be the son of an old friend. This was too much of a coincidence.

He has been at the intelligence station for many years and has arranged countless "coincidences", "encounters" and "encounters". As long as you are willing, this is not difficult to do. Since he can use these methods on others, others can naturally arrange appropriate coincidences for him.

.

"Senior, please follow me." Yu Huixin took up the magic weapon and flew into the air. Tangning followed her. After walking for less than two hours, they arrived at a remote mountain forest. Inside stood a large cave dwelling.

.

"Senior Tang, please." Yu Hui said in her heart. The two of them entered the cave one after another and came to a dark room, where they saw three spiritual tablets.

They are written respectively: "The spiritual place of the deceased mother Zhang's boudoir name Rong'er", "The spiritual seat of the first examination of Yu Gong Zhenyang" and "the spiritual place of the late concubine Su's mother's boudoir name Delicate". There are several sticks of incense and jade plates of fruits and vegetables inserted on the incense burner below.

Tang Ning took three sticks of incense, lit a fire, and placed them in front of the spiritual tablet: "Fellow Daoist Su, we have been separated for more than a hundred years, and I have never thought that I am at a loss between life and death."

Yu Hui thought to herself: "If my mother knew someone under the spring, she would be very happy to know that Senior Tang came here to pay homage to her."

"How come Fellow Daoist Su wandered to the Kingdom of Wu?"

"My mother offended the Dou family in the Chu State. Although the Dou family was wiped out, the Demon Sect rose up and occupied Longyou, Qinchuan. My mother was worried about retaliation, so she left the Chu State and met my father in the Wu State. The two of them went there

This is the next one."

"How do you recognize me? Have you seen me before?"

"Senior, please come with me," Yu Hui said in her heart, leading him to another room, where she saw two portraits hanging on the stone wall and an incense burner placed below.

One of the portraits is exactly what Tang Ning looks like, and the other is what Xiao Mobai looks like.

Yu Hui thought to herself: "This is the room specially arranged by my mother. When my mother was still alive, she would burn incense and worship every month. My mother often said that she received so much kindness from these two people. If they had not helped each other generously, she would never be where she is today. She

I am too weak to repay the kindness of these two benefactors, so I specially set up this case to pray for these two benefactors."

Seeing this, Tang Ning no longer had any doubts and sighed: "I'm just following the current, Brother Xiao is a true righteous man."

Yu Hui thought: "For my mother, both of them are her benefactors, so I hang this image and pray for my two benefactors day and night."

Tang Ning looked at the portrait and was speechless. He seemed to have some realization in his heart. Dou Bolun's disheveled hair and dilated eyes reappeared in his mind.

Many children of the Dou family were brutally killed and died innocently because of him, but many others were reborn because of him. Didn't those women who were tortured and plundered by the Dou family also escape from the murderous hands because of this?
