In a short moment, the situation was reversed. The girl who was as weak as an oriole in the snake's mouth turned into a snake-eating Garuda in the blink of an eye. She killed the Snake Lord neatly, but the girl still seemed to be angry. At this time, she lifted her skirt and came to the Snake Lord's body that was half buried in the wall. She kicked the Snake Lord's crotch with her small boots. One kick after another. "Damn rogue, you want to take advantage of me? You deserve to die!"
The two youths looked at the Snake Lord's crotch that was gradually becoming a bloody mess and felt the same pain. They both thought, "This girl is very evil …"
Ji Fengming coughed softly before the girl stopped. She turned around and smiled sweetly at the two. She cupped her fists and said, "Yes, I haven't thanked you yet. I am Ning Youyou. Thank you for your help!"
Ji Fengming said warily, "No need. With your cultivation, it was unnecessary for us to help you. But why did you deliberately hide your cultivation?"
The girl who called herself Ning Youyou rolled her black eyes. Her eyes were bright, and there was no trace of her previous infatuation. "Deliberately hide? When did I? Did I say that I am a weak girl who can't even truss a chicken? I didn't! You didn't ask me whether I have cultivation or not, so how can I be considered as hiding? "
"That works?" The sword-holding youth couldn't help but praise.
Ji Fengming frowned and asked, "Then why did you let them take you away without resisting?"
"Nothing, but today … Oh, it's past midnight. It should be yesterday. Yesterday, I did a divination, and the result was no. No is an ominous divination, and weapons are ominous. If I act rashly, it will increase my murderous aura and cause a blood disaster. But if I wait for change, I can get help from others and turn the tide … Hehe, it seems that I was right! The divination warned me not to do anything, so I let them take me away. Sure enough, with your help, I got through the day without any mishap. "
"So you are a swindler …" Listening to her talk, the sword-holding youth couldn't help but mutter.
"Bah, bah, bah, you are a swindler!" When Ning Youyou heard this, she raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "I specialize in divination and divination. How can I be confused with those swindlers!"
"What's the difference …" The young man couldn't help but whisper.
"The difference is huge! Forget it, even though I was the one who dealt with that dead snake in the end, if it weren't for you guys, I wouldn't have been able to make it to midnight. How about this, I'll perform a divination for each of you as thanks, especially you. " Ning Youyou raised her chin at the sword-wielding young man and put on an expression that said, "I'll let you witness my abilities. Then you'll know the difference between me and the swindlers of Jianghu."
"Forget it, I don't believe in fate …" The sword-wielding youth was disinterested.
"You!" Ning Youyou stomped her foot and said, "That's because you haven't met me before. Now that you've met me, you believe in fate! Hurry up and tell me your date of birth! Let me tell you if it's good or bad! "
The young man declined a few times, but he couldn't stand the nagging. In the end, he could only obediently say, "I was born on the third hour of the fourth month of the first year of the Kai Yuan era. You can do whatever you want."
After Ning Youyou heard this, she closed her eyes and began to pinch her fingers to calculate her Fate Palace. She muttered something, but her fingers did not stop. She didn't open her eyes for a long time. Her smooth forehead was still faintly covered with beads of sweat.
"Hey, can you do it or not!" The young man said impatiently.
However, the young girl suddenly opened her eyes and her body swayed. She was so weak that she couldn't stand steadily. She took a deep breath and said angrily, "You, I was kind enough to tell your fortune. If you don't believe me, then don't believe me. Why are you making fun of me by reporting a fake date of birth?"
"Who is making fun of you?"
"It doesn't match! Your Fate Palace, date of birth, and face don't match at all! Your date of birth is definitely not this! "Ning Youyou insisted.
"I didn't lie about my date of birth. It's your lack of skill …" The young man said embarrassedly.
"Pfft, if you didn't lie, then your family members must have remembered your date of birth wrongly. In short, I can't be wrong!"
Ji Fengming was slightly surprised and said, "Miss, did you just use the Precelestial Yi Divination?"
"You have good taste! You are indeed a great disciple of the 'Dao Fan'. You are indeed different from other people with shallow knowledge. "As she said this, she rolled her eyes at the 'other people'. Then, she smiled and said to Ji Fengming," Dao Brother Ji also knows the Precelestial Yi Divination? "
Ji Fengming shook her head and said, "I only know it, but I can't say that I know it. However, my master also dabbled in divination. He once said that divination is a mixed bag of dragons and snakes. As low as the Jianghu practitioners who walk the streets and alleys, as high as the Daoist immortals who can see through the secrets of heaven, everyone can do a divination. The most widely spread divination is the Four Pillars Divination Method. It is too crude and not worth mentioning. The more profound one is the Purple Micro Dipper Divination Method. Although it has entered the path of the Innate Dao, it has not broken away from the shackles of the Acquired Dao. Only the most profound 'Precelestial Yi Divination Method' can catch his attention. However, this method is the least spread and there are even fewer people who are proficient in it. I didn't expect you to be able to use the 'Precelestial Yi Divination Method' at such a young age. You are really amazing. "
Ning Youyou was quite pleased. She raised her eyebrows at the young man and said, "Did you hear that? I will give you another chance. This time, tell me your name. I will use your name to reverse my Fate Palace."
"You really don't give up …" The young man was quite speechless. He said, "Just call me Zi Mu."
"Zi Mu? What kind of name is that? "Ning Youyou's expression changed again.
"My Dao name, can't I?"
"Of course not, I want your real name!" Ning Youyou said angrily.
"My real name, I can't give it to you yet. I plan to only tell you my real name when I accomplish a great feat worthy of my name. So, I will use my Dao name for now." The young man who called himself Zi Mu said solemnly.
"What … what is the meaning of this?" This time, it was Ning Youyou who was confused.
Zi Mu explained, "Isn't it clear? I will use my Dao name first. If I accomplish a great feat, I will tell you my real name as my official debut battle. If I fail, I will start over with another Dao name. In short, I must do my first battle beautifully and make a name for myself in one fell swoop!"
"I feel like this is what the debut battle means to you … Winning and winning beautifully is the first battle. Isn't that a little too much?" Ning Youyou forcefully swallowed the word "shameless" that was about to come out of her mouth.
"What else do you think? How can there be so many people who become famous the moment they debut? I don't know how many names they have changed before they become famous. In short, I can only give you a Dao name now. Can you make do with it? "Zi Mu said shamelessly.
"Ah ah ah!" Ning Youyou was so angry that she grabbed her hair. "You don't have a chance. Dao Brother Ji, it's your turn. Tell me your date of birth and I will divine your luck."
Ji Fengming shook her head. "There is no need for luck. If I am looking for someone, do you have a way to divine their location?"
Ning Youyou said, "Hmm … this is a bit troublesome. Who is Dao Brother Ji looking for?"
"Let's look for the twelve celestial images." Ji Fengming pointed at the Snake Lord's corpse. "Slaughtering an entire village is unacceptable. These three have paid with their lives. As for the remaining nine, I will kill them as well. It is a pity that … I was too hasty and didn't leave any survivors. Where are the others? "
Ning Youyou giggled. "There is no need for divination. I know where they are."
"Oh? How does Miss Ning know? "
"When they grabbed me just now, they thought I was scared out of my wits. So, they said whatever they wanted along the way without any scruples. Do you know why they slaughtered that village?"
Ji Fengming shook her head. "It seems to be to kill and steal, but I do not know why."
"What they took … Hmm, it should be on that horse!" Ning Youyou quickly walked to the side of the Horse-faced corpse. After rummaging through it, she found a key. "Here, this is it."
Ning Youyou held a blood-stained key in her hand. It seemed to be made of bronze and had a simple design.
"What is this?" Ji Fengming asked.
Ning Youyou wiped the blood on her hand on the Horse-faced corpse's clothes. "That Wu Clan Village looks ordinary, but they actually have an incredible ancestor. This key is the key to opening their ancestor's tomb. That ancestor is called Wu Qi. You should all know him."
"Wu Qi?" Zi Mu and Ji Fengming were both solemn. "The one who was as famous as Sun Wu, the invincible military ancestor Wu Qi?"
"Yes, that Wu Qi who was lustful and killed his wife to seek a general!" Ning Youyou spat in disdain and continued, "Wu Qi's reform failed and he died under a thousand arrows piercing his heart. After his death, his body was torn apart by a chariot and his family was exterminated. However, a few military disciples were lucky enough to escape and took his old clothes. They spent a great deal of effort to build a cenotaph for him in Chaoyi and buried many military books and artifacts with him. The key to opening the tomb was also kept by the disciples who lived around the tomb. Over time, it became a village. However, as time passed, the village was repeatedly moved due to the chaos of war, from the north all the way to Jiangnan. The people in the village had long forgotten about the establishment of the village and only worshipped the key as the heirloom of the village. They did not know what it was used for. However, they did not expect to be targeted by the Twelve Astrological Signs and the heirloom of the village became the key to destroying the village!"
"Could it be that the Twelve Astrological Signs are going to rob Wu Qi's tomb and steal the military books?" Zi Mu asked in surprise. Wu Qi and Sun Wu were equally famous and were known as' Sun Wu '. They were both representatives of the military school. However, Sun Wu had' The Art of War 'passed down from generation to generation while Wu Qi had written 43 chapters of' The Art of War 'and only six chapters remained. If they could make these books appear in the world, the significance would be extraordinary.
Ning Youyou shook her head and laughed, "Those beasts are ignorant and incompetent. Why would they want military books? What they want is Wu Qi's Tiger Tally. "
"Then why would they want the Tiger Tally? Can they use the Tiger Tally from the Warring States Period to command the Tang army?" Zi Mu asked in return.
Ning Youyou explained, "This Tiger Tally is not ordinary. According to the existing historical records, it could be the earliest Tiger Tally to be born in the world. Its material is neither gold nor iron. Instead, it is made from the essence and blood of a mutated tiger. In addition, after it was born, it followed Wu Qi, the founder of the military school, to deploy troops and generals. It is tainted with the peerless aura of war. It can be said to be an extraordinary treasure. The path of animals is to transform humans into beasts. If this Tiger Tally is obtained by the Tiger Lord of the Twelve Astrological Signs and he absorbs the essence and blood of the tiger, his cultivation will definitely rise to another level. You don't need me to remind you. Compared to the three corpses lying here, the Dragon and Tiger Lords of the Twelve Astrological Signs are much stronger. It can even be said that the name of the Twelve Astrological Signs was completely won by the Dragon and Tiger Lords. Brother Ji, you have already ruined their plans by obtaining this key. It is better not to take any more risks. Be careful of forcing the tiger to hurt you. "
Ji Fengming, however, laughed with a hint of killing intent, "Forcing the tiger to hurt me? If I don't force it, it won't hurt me? Thank you, Miss Ning, for your guidance. Chaoyi, is it? I understand. Forgive me for making a move first. Farewell. "
Ji Fengming turned to leave, but Zi Mu said, "Brother Ji, count me in as well! Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, the massacre of an entire village is indeed unforgivable. In addition, the Dragon and Tiger Lords are famous. They are suitable as a stepping stone for your first battle! "
Ji Fengming saw that although Zi Mu hid his name, the sword skills he used were upright and dignified. It was obvious that he came from a famous sect. Just now, under the tense situation of the Snake Lord threatening them with a hostage, his actions were still not orthodox. Compared to this somewhat evil Ning Youyou, he was more trustworthy.
Zi Mu said to Ning Youyou, "That girl, you were almost kidnapped by the Twelve Astrological Signs. Don't you want to take revenge on them?"
"Ha, you want to drag me down with you?" Ning Youyou laughed, "Unfortunately, I am not a chivalrous person, nor am I a greedy person. Most importantly, I am very broad-minded. They have already paid the price of three lives for offending me. I am a magnanimous person and will forgive them this time. Since you don't need me to test your luck, then I wish you all a safe journey." She waved her hand at them.
Ji Fengming nodded, "In that case, Miss Ning, we will meet again. Brother Zi Mu, there is no time to lose. Things might change if we delay. Let's set off now."
Zi Mu stretched and said, "Sigh, I wanted to come to this monastery to sleep, but I can't. Fine, let's remove the Twelve Astrological Signs first. It won't be too late to take a nap later. Little Witch, I'll be leaving first."
"Go to hell!" Ning Youyou spat out her tongue.
When the two of them were far away, she pouted and muttered to herself, "In the middle of the night, leaving a delicate girl and three dead people in the wilderness. Sigh, men …"
Ning Youyou kicked Horse Face's corpse in dissatisfaction. Suddenly, her expression changed and she bent down to pick up an item. She saw that it was a sparkling jade tablet with a golden belt. On the tablet were two words written in flamboyant calligraphy — "Ling Xiao".
Ning Youyou came back to her senses and realized that Zi Mu had accidentally dropped it when he had first entered the monastery to avoid the Snake Lord's trap. A glimmer of light flashed in her eyes as she said, "Jade tablet and golden belt. So you are a direct disciple of the Ling Xiao Sword School. No wonder you have such attainments in the sword."
Then, after a moment of silence, she took out six copper coins and tossed them into the air.
