Chapter 1065: Four Seasons

Although his gaze was obscure, how could Ning Wan not see it!

The grudge between the Ning family and the Situ family... was it a simple grudge! The grudge between Ning Tiaoxiao and Situ Tang was as deep as the East Sea, impossible to resolve, and the grudge between him and Situ Huo himself was even more difficult to reconcile... No wonder her face turned pale!

Situ Tang took by force, regardless of the younger generation, leaving him with monstrous hatred. Situ Huo was smart, hiding in the sea, which was better than Situ Nu being caught between the two sects, once broken by Chi Wei, almost beaten to death in one breath!

But he finally made it to the day of his emergence, and True Person Element still wanted to vent his anger on him!

That battle caused him to lose an arm, extremely embarrassed. Situ Huo, such a figure, how could he not hold a grudge?

Her gaze was quiet, her heart icy, silent.

The grudge between True Person Element Ning Tiaoxiao and the Situ family had existed for a long time, and it was unavoidable. Although Ning Wan was in seclusion when Ning Tiaoxiao fell, she still understood many things very clearly.

"Back then, the Great War in the North was imminent. Lord knew that his life was not long, and specifically went to catch this Situ Huo once... Unfortunately, this last time... ultimately failed to succeed."

Ning Tiaoxiao had a great reputation in his life, and that mouth was even more famous. His skills were not low. Relying on his own Dao practice and the 'Cave Spring Sound', which was both a body divine ability and a life divine ability, he made a crowd of small people bow their heads. Compared with Situ Huo, who was exiled overseas, it could be called the difference between heaven and earth. But Ning Wan knew in her own heart... by the time this Lord was in his later years... he was already a bit powerless.

"The gap in divine abilities cannot be erased. Sometimes pressing a divine ability can determine victory or defeat. It was the Lord's outstanding talent that relied on his own Dao practice to make up for it... These gaps would eventually be pulled closer and even suppressed as the divine abilities of various True Persons increased."

That last battle, Ning Tiaoxiao must have been well prepared, but he didn't expect Situ Huo to condense the third divine ability. Even if Ning Tiaoxiao still pressed him like a grandson, he ultimately didn't have the opportunity to take his life...

This feeling of being slowly caught up and even surpassed by many mediocre people whose talent was not as good as his own, and even the younger generation of enemies, must not feel good. Every time Ning Wan thought of it, she felt sorrow in her heart:

"I heard that the Lord's temperament became more and more paranoid in his later years. Presumably, he also knew that this heart-trouble could not be removed... If the Ning family could not rely on the Chi family, it was extremely likely to face the disaster of extermination..."

Ning Tiaoxiao had no descendants. To be fair, Ning Wan already felt that her elder had done well enough. Now seeing Situ Huo, she still didn't feel that it was the legacy of her elder, but coldly met the other party's gaze, returning it with a fierce look.

"A dog that lost its home..."

Situ Huo met her gaze for an instant, not surprised, even a bit understanding, slowly withdrawing his gaze, his heart plain as water:

"Not strange————Ning Tiaoxiao should have such a younger generation!"

But even so, he still didn't put this woman in his eyes, his eyes returning to the 【Xuan Wei Tooth Zhang】 in his hand, looking at this short-sword-like order, the fire of desire in the depths of Situ Huo's eyes burned fiercely, constantly observing in detail.

He studied on his own, but clearly it was a crisis resolved, the Great Song side was all injured, but there was no sound, one by one with different expressions, exchanging gazes.

Only Lin Gu Linggu Lanying was unwilling to lose the spiritual embryo, stepped forward, looked at Situ Huo, then looked at Tinglan who was silent, could only shake her head and sink her brows, watching the crowd leave.

But saw Situ Huo return the Immortal decree, that old hand suddenly clenched the jade blade.

He cultivated 'Carving Gold Stone'. This body divine ability was also ranked high in Zifu. 【Xuan Wei Tooth Zhang】 was not originally used for chopping, but it easily cut his palm, flickering, and the sticky golden-water-like blood fell with the blade, dripping into the air, turning into rolling water and fire.

"Good..."

This treasure flickered three times in the air, vaguely showing signs of breaking free, but was suppressed by the Immortal decree, falling on him, and was then subdued. This old man turned around, saying lightly:

"Old man Situ Huo... ashamed to be the General of Pinghuai, and also the Festival Envoy of Tang Jin, everyone... please give more advice in the future."

The night sky was still silent, but the bright jade sword was sheathed, stirring up a piece of dim white mist. That dressed elegantly, holding the sword and standing, the white-clothed True Person sneered:

"Old thing, you don't have to be a dog that lost its home in the future!"

It was True Person Zhusheng, who fought Gongsun Bei and preserved the overall situation! He was not afraid at all, sneered and flicked his sleeves, leaving only cold words echoing in the air.

These words made everyone silent again. Situ Huo laughed quite proudly, as if pondering something, stepped forward, looked around, and said gloomily:

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Liu still remembers the old grudge, not very broad-minded."

Tinglan heard it and it was hard to say, secretly cursing in her heart:

"Broad-minded? How can he be broad-minded? The blood chaos of Tang Jin was the result of the mutual transaction between Qingchi and Jin Yu. At the root, it was the relationship between Situ Tang's descendants being poor, with many sinister and vicious people. Situ Huo was the best among them, with a few more cautions... Trouble..."

This didn't prevent Situ Huo's old eyes from looking around, stopping on Ning Wan's face:

"So it is the younger generation of Element fellow Daoist...... rare...... rare..."

Ning Wan's face had already recovered a lot, still cold, holding the sword without saying a word.

Situ Huo laughed abruptly and said:

"True Person Element gave much advice before his death. Now that the old man is gone, only..."

He had an appearance of not knowing the name, looked around, only True Person Xian Yao stepped forward, and then lifted his sleeves. Lin Gu Linggu Lanying had already opened her mouth, whispering:

"This is Fairy Qiuhu, Ning Wan."

Situ Huo's pupils fluctuated, laughing:

"So it is Ning Wan!"

Tinglan on the side also had a bad face. The reputation of this Tang Jin Sect True Person was really terrible. The entire Jiangnan... especially the crowd of cultivators represented by the Solar path, presumably not many were close to the Tang Jin Sect... How could she feel good?

"The blood chaos of Tang Jin was the result of the mutual transaction between Qingchi and Jin Yu. At the root, it was the relationship between Situ Tang's descendants being poor, with many sinister and vicious people. Situ Huo was the best among them, with a few more cautions... Trouble..."

But just at this moment, an old True Person appeared from within, dressed in glazed kudzu robes, wearing a smile on his face. He bowed and clasped his hands, busy changing the subject, and laughed:

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist!"

This old True Person was True Person Xian Yao of Guoling Peak. The two seemed to have a bit of friendship. Situ Huo returned the salute slowly, turning to look at the crowd:

"Everyone, please guard Yu Fu, I will go to Tangdao Mountain to report."

Ning Wan raised her head dazed, Tinglan's expression was complex, stepping forward together, busy separating the two, whispering:

"Lord Yang has already... conquered Tangdao Mountain! I will go to report."

She rose with purple clouds, escaped into the Great Void, flew a few steps, turned her head, ultimately could not ignore this matter, whispering:

"Now the North is powerful. You and Wan'er work for the Great Song together. The past grudges mostly originated from Situ Tang. Please let go of the grudges... ruining the Lord's affairs is ultimately not good."

Situ Huo stopped laughing, saying quietly:

"Thank you for the reminder, True Person. Ning Tiaoxiao has ability, I also admire him a few points, resentment... not to that extent."

This old man's gaze was calm, and these words were said very solemnly. He was old, and his admiration for Ning Tiaoxiao was more than his resentment, but this did not prevent him from reporting this pursuit of revenge.

"He harmed me, presumably not because he resented me, but because I am Situ Tang's descendant. Now it is also the same. If I have the opportunity, besides Ning Wan, it is also because she is Ning Tiaoxiao's descendant."

He placed his hand on the 【Xuan Wei Tooth Zhang】 at his waist, but did not have much heart left here:

"The key at the moment is to participate in the purple... I have stopped for too many, too many years... The light of cultivation is my only opportunity!"

The phantom colors in the distance flickered slightly, the cold autumn wind drifted, the stairs were full of setting sun, the silver cauldron in the palace still stood, clearly it was just early autumn, but the clear water inside had already frozen, turning into a silver flashing piece.

The palace appeared empty. The white-clothed True Person sat in the upper seat, holding a vermilion brush, listening to footsteps coming from outside the palace, and a woman came up from the stairs.

This woman was tall, with a clear and beautiful face, three white flowers on her brow, appearing out of the ordinary, with a high bridge of nose, wearing a white skirt, carrying a long sword, walking with a fiery temperament, bowing at the stairs, whispering:

"Uncle!"

Wei Wei Xuan Yin above raised his head, his expression slightly surprised, before he had time to speak, the woman had already frowned, hurriedly saying:

"Wei Uncle, Great Yuan Guangyin Mountain really can't be taken back!"

Wei Wei Xuan Yin pondered for a moment, put away the Dao book in his hand, and replied:

"At least not for now."

The woman took two hurried steps, saying:

"Earlier, I thought Shu was strong and Song was weak, and that Wei King was also in seclusion, so the Great Song couldn't make any waves in a short time, so I sent manpower to the Long region. I didn't expect that side to be guarded, but Jiangbei lost more than half!"

Wei Wei Xuan Yin sighed silently, asking:

"Can Bianyan Mountain be preserved?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, the slight surprise making her appearance even more vivid, but she still replied:

"Fortunately, it was preserved. 'Zhe Qi' has dissipated. Uncle is in charge of the 【Zhao Yao Four Seasons Cauldron】, how could you not know?"

Wei Wei Xuan Yin shook his head, quietly staring at the silver cauldron, the solid ice inside was indestructible, reflecting faint silver light. This master of Zhi Xuan Pavilion said:

"The "Zhao Yao Book" says: 'Spring is in the corner, thus it grows; summer is in the fire, thus it dissolves cold; autumn is in the Qi, thus it stores; winter is in the mansion, thus it hides. Combined as a year, divided into four seasons, cultivated to assist the right, served to nourish the spirit.'"

"【Zhao Yao Four Seasons Cauldron】 is a top-level treasure for calculation and investigation, but the Qi gold representing autumn enters the embrace and locks, storing the treasury gold. Before and after the autumn equinox, the power of this treasure is greatly reduced, not returning to the past, and it can no longer be seen clearly."

Wei Wei Xuan Yin knocked on the table helplessly, saying:

"Telling you to study hard, in the final analysis, you didn't learn the real thing. You should have seen it long ago!"

"How can I compare with Uncle!"

The woman replied with shame, thought carefully, and was suddenly shocked, asking:

"Could it be that they calculated it?!"

Wei Wei Xuan Yin laughed:

"Great Song has 'Zhe Qi', where is the need for such calculation."

He comforted the woman, but his gaze was very deep, stroking the book lightly:

"Great Song doesn't need it, but other Daoist lineages might... Jiangbei looks like interests are consistent... but there are many people who collude for private interests between the North and South. Being able to avoid my eyes is naturally the best."

He fell silent, but the female True Person in front of him opened her mouth:

"I just came in from outside the palace and saw Li Jieyi waiting outside... it's also strange! This time Great Yang Mountain hasn't been in a hurry to punish him, but he is in a hurry to find Uncle!"

"He is afraid."

Wei Wei Xuan Yin sighed, but didn't mention the monk's affairs, frowning:

"Told you not to go south, this is back with a black pot!" ===== CHAPTER 1066 =====

Mentioning this, Yin Baiyue's expression turned aggrieved, and she gritted her teeth, saying:

"What can I do? Senior Brother Qi has been like a different person since he left the mountain these past few years! I went to the Xuanmiao Temple to find him, and he actually insisted that I return, saying that he wouldn't let anything touch him, and that he would bear everything himself... But if something were to happen, who in the Zhixuan Pavilion could escape it!"

Wei Xuanin was silent, lowered his brows, and said:

"This child is too impatient—no matter how I try to persuade him, he ultimately won't listen."

Wei Xuanin was older and had watched these children grow up. Sometimes, out of habit, he would blurt out calling them children, but as soon as Yin Baiyue heard it, she felt something was wrong. She raised her head sharply, her expression changing as she said:

"Uncle-Master, this is..."

Wei Xuanin calmed his emotions slightly and replied:

"Then you should stay in the Long region; there is no need to go to the east."

Yin Baiyue bowed, suppressing the doubts in her heart, and said with difficulty:

"That Situ Huo... the several families in the north contacted him many times, but in the end, he actually defected to the south... it is truly unexpected."

Wei Xuanin laughed:

"He is a smart man, otherwise he would have died long ago without a whole corpse. What he thinks about in his heart is seeking a higher cultivation, yet he is unwilling to abandon his true self to casually defect to the Buddhist cultivators. How could he possibly come north?"

"In his early years of fighting, it is estimated that he lost a lot of his lifespan. Now that time is becoming increasingly urgent, there are very few things that can help him cross the Canzi realm. Defecting under the command of the martial cultivators is a matter of course."

Yin Baiyue asked suspiciously:

"I also heard Senior Brother say this... he didn't seem surprised, but... but... Gengdui is the forbidden territory of Jin Yishangqing, why didn't he go to defect to Shu, but instead came to defect to Song?"

Wei Xuanin nodded and said:

"That's why I say he is smart... he didn't covet the throne. All he thought about was to reap enough benefits in this turbulent world, climb his cultivation to the peak, and although reincarnation is slim, wouldn't it be a matter of course to bring his cultivation to seek Buddhism at this time? Who knows, he might be less controlled by others."

His expression appeared very gentle, and he said:

"You should all learn... since your minds are murky and you have no desire to seek the Dao, you shouldn't still be dreaming of that final step, ascending to what Yurun? Do you think the difficulty of Yurun would be any different?"

"The difficulty of seeking a position in some Yurun is even greater than that of a fruit position!"

Yin Baiyue hesitated for a moment and replied:

"Disciple accepts the teaching..."

Wei Xuanin knew she hadn't listened, and in his heart, he could only sigh that he hadn't set a good example. He didn't blame her much more, only waving his hand and saying:

"Hurry to the Long region, and call Li Jieyi in."

Yin Baiyue had no choice but to bow and retreat. After a long while, she saw a monk come up before the hall, dressed in light brown Zen robes, with a bitter expression. He walked all the way to the front of the great hall and bowed deeply.

Wei Xuanin did not raise his head, lifted a vermilion brush and lightly dotted it on the scroll, saying faintly:

"I told you not to go south, and now you've come back carrying the blame, haven't you!"
