After chasing for a while, Ning Ruirui realized something was wrong.
She thought of the old housekeeper named Uncle Gui, who had been missing since just now. Could he be hiding somewhere to lure her away and then cause harm to Mother Nie and her daughter?
Thinking of this, Ning Ruirui immediately stopped and turned around to go back to the living room to take a look.
Just when Ning Ruirui was hesitating, a figure rushed toward her in the darkness.
Ning Ruirui did not dodge, she directly raised her long legs and struck the opponent with a powerful and heavy blow.
"Bang!"
This kick hit the center, and the opponent immediately flew backwards, collapsing a wall before stopping and hitting the ground.
Ning Ruirui walked over quickly and took a closer look and found that this person was the old housekeeper. She couldn't help but murmured to herself: "Why is he here?"
Now that the hidden danger was eliminated, she did not need to go back to the living room, but continued to track the remaining black aura. If that kind of thing was not removed, it would reappear sooner or later, and it might be even more troublesome.
Ning Ruirui had been staring at the pool of black aura, but unfortunately she was interrupted accidentally and lost track of it for a moment.
"Um?"
At this time, Ning Ruirui discovered that the old housekeeper's hand was pointing in one direction.
"Here, in the basement!" The old housekeeper's voice came out of his throat, "Quickly..."
Following the direction he pointed, Ning Ruirui saw a cover. She stepped forward and opened it, and she saw a staircase extending downward.
"You..." When Ning Ruirui turned to look at the old housekeeper, she had a few thoughts in her mind, but in the end she said nothing.
The old housekeeper laughed sadly: "The old master's family has been eroded by the black aura for a long time. I also... Since Miss Ning has the ability to win against it, I hope you can save the Nie family."
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes gradually lost their luster and became silent.
"This bunch of... rubbish!" Ning Ruirui looked a little sad, not because of the old housekeeper's words, but because she was unhappy with the demons who treated people as complete tools.
Clenching her teeth, she didn't hesitate and rushed down the stairs, gradually disappearing into the darkness.
…
Yunxiang Tea Garden.
"Are they not considered human beings, or are they not human beings in the first place?" Xia Tian asked with a smile.
The sloppy old Taoist priest walked slowly into his room and said lightly: "Who knows."
"Fourth uncle, if you know something, just tell us directly and stop playing riddles." Nie Xiaoli felt a little overwhelmed and shouted at the sloppy old Taoist priest: "The Nie family has become like this. Don't you want to change it?"
Is this the case?"
"Change?" The sloppy old Taoist priest pulled out a deck chair from the corner, threw himself into the chair, and said indifferently: "The Taoist priest is already dying, why do he do such a thankless thing?"
A puzzled look appeared on Nie Xiaoli's face: "Fourth uncle, I often heard stories about you when I was a child. You were not like this back then."
"You also said that was back then." The sloppy old Taoist priest still looked like he was still in the water. "Just do whatever you want. I don't want to take care of it. At most, I will stay here and prevent those monks from coming.
Excuse you."
Xia Tian lazily yawned and said to Nie Xiaoli: "Stewardess, please stop trying to persuade me. This old man's energy has been beaten to the core, so he doesn't have the guts to do anything else."
"Then let's go." Nie Xiaoli didn't try to persuade her anymore, and took Xia Tian into the depths of the tea garden.
After walking for a while, Xia Tian directly said to Nie Xiaoli: "Stewardess, there is no need to look here, there is nothing special, and the black smell is not serious. Just go and take a look at that well."
"Why can't I see the black aura you mentioned?" Nie Xiaoli was a little confused. She looked around and saw no black aura except for the neat tea trees and lush leaves.
Xia Tian said with a smile: "Stewardess wife, although you have a special physique, but overall you are still a mortal, you have not awakened, of course you can't see it."
"Then how can we get enlightened?" Nie Xiaoli asked.
"Stewardess, if you want to get better, it's not easy." Xia Tian said with an understatement, "I can help you get better right now. Of course, if you don't mind, I can just wash your marrow directly."
Nie Xiaoli blinked and looked at Xia Tian with her beautiful eyes: "Is there any difference between the two?"
"Of course there is a difference." Xia Tian explained to Nie Xiaoli with a serious look on his face: "Kuanqiao is just to open the spiritual orifices in your body so that you can start cultivating immortals. It is equivalent to the Qi training period. In the case of marrow cleansing, it is
Wash out all the impurities from your body, and then you will have entered the foundation-building stage in one step."
When I was a child, I just felt that I seemed a little special, and the Nie family seemed a little strange, but I never thought of it in the direction of the demon cultivators.
After meeting Xia Tian, in just a day or two, Nie Xiaoli felt that the door to a new world had opened to her.
Xia Tian looked at Nie Xiaoli with a smile, his expression full of expectation: "Stewardess wife, I suggest you cleanse your marrow directly. After the impurities in your body are washed away, you will be several times more beautiful than you are now."
"No, I'll get started first." Nie Xiaoli thought for a moment and made a decision immediately.
"You don't want to think about it anymore?" Xia Tian said with some surprise: "If you are just enlightened, you are still an ordinary person, but you can breathe in spiritual energy and then extract pure spiritual energy for your own use. This process is quite slow. It is possible that you
I can’t break through even after thirty or forty years of practice.”
Nie Xiaoli's eyes became firmer and he looked at Xia Tian: "I want to try it myself first. If I really don't have any talent, I can ask you for help."
"Okay, let me help you understand first."
Xia Tian doesn't care about this. Of course, he hopes that his woman's initial realm is as high as possible. In this case, when she practices dual cultivation with him, both parties will gain higher benefits.
But he never forces his woman to do what he wants.
Of course, that's if he doesn't want to.
"What should I do?" Nie Xiaoli asked slightly nervously.
Xia Tian chuckled and showed a silver needle between his left fingers: "To achieve enlightenment, you only need a light prick of the needle. Stewardess, if you get dizzy from the needle, you can close your eyes."
"good."
Nie Xiaoli closed her eyes obediently, and just waited for a while. Instead of waiting for the time to get the needle, she was kissed on the face.
"Stewardess, please don't move." Xia Tian said with a smile before Nie Xiaoli's attack: "If the prick is crooked, it won't be good."
Nie Xiaoli hesitated for a moment, but decided to stand still.
In less than half a second, Xia Tian's voice rang in her ears: "Okay."
"Is this all right?" Nie Xiaoli hesitated a little, slowly opened his eyes, and felt that nothing had changed, "Did you get the acupuncture?"
"I put in the needle very quickly, you won't feel it is normal." Xia Tian flashed the silver needle between his fingers, and then quickly put it away.
Nie Xiaoli moved his eyes to look around. There was indeed no change at first, but suddenly there was a moment when the scene in front of him changed extremely subtly.
In the mountains and forests, countless breaths flow like water and are as free as wind.
This breath is obviously transparent and invisible. Usually it can only be felt with hands and body, but now it can be clearly seen.
"Okay, what a wonderful feeling." Nie Xiaoli showed a look of joy on her face. This feeling was so wonderful, with a touch of transcendence that made her excited.
Xia Tian looked indifferent and said casually: "Stewardess, my wife, you will actually feel better after the marrow cleansing. Do you want to try it?"
"No." Nie Xiaoli shook his head, "If the feeling of marrow cleansing is better than this, then I don't want it to come so soon. The current situation is enough for me to digest it for a while."
Xia Tian curled his lips and said somewhat unhappily: "In this case, when can we practice dual cultivation?"
"Double cultivation?" Nie Xiaoli was stunned, "What does it mean?"
"It means dual cultivation." Xia Tian replied seriously.
Nie Xiaoli didn't understand: "Huh?"
"Honey stewardess, don't you even read novels?" Xia Tian explained casually: "They are often found in martial arts novels, and they are also found in some extremely ugly fairy tale TV series. My wife, Xiao Yiyi, especially likes to read them."
"I never read novels or watch TV series." Nie Xiaoli still looked confused, "Is this dual cultivation powerful?"
Xia Tian nodded very seriously: "It's very good, stewardess wife, you must try it."
"Oh, then I'll try it myself sometime." Nie Xiaoli still didn't quite understand, but he also knew that now was definitely not the time to do research.
"Stewardess, you can't try this alone." Xia Tian pointed at herself with a smile, "You need to try it with me, otherwise it's called double cultivation."
Nie Xiaoli was a smart person after all. After hearing this, he finally understood and knew what Xia Tian was talking about.
Xia Tian felt excited and teased with a smile: "Hey, you're blushing, let me see."
"You are really a gangster!" Nie Xiaoli glared at Xia Tian angrily, "No wonder Sister Ning asked me to be careful about you. Sure enough, you didn't mean anything good."
Xia Tian said seriously: "I only think about good things."
"Now is not the time to talk about this." Nie Xiaoli finally understood why Ning Ruirui reminded her repeatedly, "Let's go take a look at the alchemy well first. The black aura there is really strong, almost floating into the sky."
Xia Tian curled her lips: "Stewardess, my wife, you are too abrupt in changing the subject."
"Otherwise, I agree to your request on the spot and then... here?" Nie Xiaoli's face turned red as blood, holding back his embarrassment and glaring at Xia Tian.
Xia Tian thought about it seriously and nodded: "Stewardess, if you are in such a hurry, it's not impossible. I can make a barrier. That way, others can't see us or disturb us."
