Chapter 178: First Floor

Ning Tao approached Xin Zhiyu's ear and said in a low voice: "I cured Mr. Barnes in your ancestral hall. I saw a lot of spirit tablets of people surnamed Zhu. Are there so many spirit cards of people with the surname Zhu? Besides, those names are all women's names."

Xin Zhiyu looked into Ning Tao's eyes and said vigilantly, "Why are you asking this?"

Ning Tao said: "Didn't I just say that, I'm very curious."

Xin Zhiyu didn't answer, he seemed to be hesitating, and he didn't believe what Ning Tao said.

Ning Tao reached out to grab the hatchet on the hood of the Bugatti Veyron, and his movements were relatively slow.

Xin Zhiyu then said: "In the old days, a woman surnamed Zhu was kind to our ancestors. Since then, men in our Xin family have married some women surnamed Zhu."

"So that's the case, will you marry a woman surnamed Zhu?" Ning Tao asked casually.

Xin Zhiyu said: "What era is it now? I can marry whoever I want. In the past, some men in the Xin family married wives whose surname was not Zhu. This is not a family rule of our family, but a kind of sentiment."

Marrying a wife is showing affection, Ning Tao didn't think so, but said calmly: "Is Zhu Hongyu the wife of your ancestors?"

Xin Zhiyu's face suddenly showed confusion, "Who is Zhu Hongyu?"

His reaction didn't look like he was lying, and it was impossible for him to touch the spirit card on the shrine, because that kind of behavior is disrespectful in the Chinese world, so he didn't see the sign behind the unmarked card. The word "Zhu Hongyu" is also very normal.

Ning Tao was not satisfied, he said again: "Didn't you hear your mother or father say that?"

Xin Zhiyu thought for a while, "Could it be that my mother has a younger sister or older sister?"

Such a reaction further proves that Xin Zhiyu didn't know the secret behind the unmarked card at all, and he didn't know that there was such a character as Zhu Hongyu in history.

Ning Tao stopped asking, and Xin Zhiyu would doubt him if he continued to ask. He reached out and grabbed the hatchet on the hood.

Xin Zhiyu suddenly became nervous, "What you said, you must mean what you say!"

Ning Tao put the firewood knife into the small medicine box, and said lightly, "Of course I mean what I say, I won't chop up your car. But don't mess with me in the future.

Sometimes I am very impulsive, and when I am impulsive, I can't control myself. "

This is the truth, he would even be afraid of himself when he was in a bad state, but Kexin Zhiyu obviously didn't take his warning seriously. Just when he said this, a hint of hatred flashed in Xin Zhiyu's eyes, but it was hidden very deeply.

Ning Tao didn't care either, he walked towards Liu Xian'er and Wu Xiaolin, "Okay, I'm fine, please lead the way."

"Okay, Mr. Ning, please follow me." Wu Xiaolin made a gesture of invitation.

Liu Xian'er said to Xin Zhiyu and the others: "Three distinguished guests, please follow me."

Xin Zhiyu nodded and walked over.

Li Xiaofeng snorted coldly, he was probably dissatisfied with Liu Xian'er and Wu Xiaolin for not stopping Ning Tao just now. However, he followed Xin Zhiyu into the mountain gate.

"Cousin, call the police and pay that bastard to death! When I see him now, I wish I could tear him apart!" Xue Baoer said angrily.

Li Xiaofeng glared at Xue Baoer, "Don't you think it's not enough to be ashamed? That kid has the racing contract I signed, so what's the use of calling the police? If this matter gets out, people will say that I can't afford to lose."

Ning Tao would be somewhat troublesome if he called the police, but he really couldn't afford to lose that face.

After climbing a stone staircase with hundreds of steps, the four guests came to the first floor. A large area of ​​the hillside was leveled here, and the first floor was built in the middle of the open space, surrounded by twelve stone towers. Animal patterns are carved on the base of each stone tower, some are rats, some are cows, some are tigers, some are rabbits, and some are dragons. The ones at the back are invisible, but based on the animal patterns that can be seen, it is not difficult to guess that the stone tower bases behind the first floor should be carved with animal patterns of the twelve zodiac signs.

In addition to the patterns of the zodiac, each stone tower has runes on its base. Ning Tao read a lot of cultivation books left by Emperor Xuan in the Jiange Cave Mansion, and he could recognize a few more or less, but he didn't know the meaning and purpose of putting together a lot of runes. After all, he studied The time is too short.

As soon as Ning Tao arrived at the first floor, he walked out of the first floor without taking a second look at Bai Jing.

Bai Jing wore a snow-white long dress and a pair of white embroidered shoes. The upper was also embroidered with white magnolia flowers. You had to look carefully to see it. This white body, coupled with the snow-white and delicate skin, is like a banished fairy.

"Zhiyu, I'm really sorry, because I didn't have time to pick you up at the gate." Bai Jing didn't greet Ning Tao when she came out, but she greeted Xin Zhiyu, which was kind.

Xin Zhiyu felt very honored, and most of the anger he had received from Ning Tao disappeared immediately. He said with a smile, "It's all right, I'm very happy to see **, how can I trouble you to pick me up."

Bai Jing showed a sweet smile, "I'll make you a cup of tea later to apologize to you, and please comment on my tea art by the way."

Xin Zhiyu said with a smile: "My heart is already full of expectations."

Bai Jing then greeted Li Xiaofeng and Xue Baoer, "Mr. Li, Ms. Xue, please forgive me for not greeting well."

Li Xiaofeng said politely: "You're being polite, thank you for your invitation."

"***, we are all friends, so you don't need to be so polite." Xue Baoer also said politely, and after she finished speaking, she took a special look at Ning Tao, with a provocative look in her eyes.

Ning Tao didn't even respond at all. He felt that Bai Jing probably knew what was going on outside the mountain gate, and deliberately snubbed him, in this way to make Xin Zhiyu feel better. Ever since he discovered the secret behind the unmarked card, he knew that Bai Jing was looking for the secret of Zu Dan's formula just by the name "Zhu Hongyu". Since ancient times, goblins have harmed people, and it is not the one who fascinated the prey first, but poor Xin Zhiyu is still kept in the dark, and complacently thinks that he is attractive and attracts the favor of the goddess.

"Xian'er, you bring three guests in first, and Dr. Ning and I will come as soon as we speak," Bai Jing said.

"Okay, Senior Sister Bai." Liu Xian'er made another gesture of invitation, "The three distinguished guests, please follow me."

Xin Zhiyu and Li Xiaofeng followed Liu Xian'er into the first floor, and Xue Baoer turned his eyes to Ning Tao again, with disdain in his eyes, "Hmph!"

Ning Tao just smiled faintly. Xue Baoer's provocation was like a bug's provocation to him. Does he need to respond to a bug's provocation?

After Xue Baoer entered the first floor, Bai Jing said: "Brother Ning, it's not that I deliberately snubbed you, but..."

Ning Tao smiled and said: "No need to explain, you never left me out. Everyone has their own difficulties, and I don't want to find out everything. I came here just to find Qingzhui, and I don't care about other things."

This sentence is already very clear, what you want to do with the Xin family has nothing to do with me, but don't use Qingzhui, let alone hurt Qingzhui!

Bai Jing giggled, "Look, I just said that my sister is lucky to meet such a demon lord who values ​​love and righteousness like you. Come with me, I will take you to meet someone, and when I meet him, I will I will take you to see Qing Zhui again."

Ning Tao tentatively asked, "Sage Bai?"

Bai Jing nodded her head, turned around and entered the first floor.

Ning Tao climbed up the steps on the first floor and walked into the first floor.

Behind the gate is a large hall, but what is enshrined is not a certain god of Buddhism, nor a god of Taoism, but a dead tree without branches and leaves. The trunk and branches of the tree are all silver, as if made of pure silver, and the whole body exudes a metallic luster, which is extraordinary.

Ning Tao stopped and asked, "What kind of tree is this?"

Bai Jing said: "You just said that you don't need to figure everything out, why did you change in the blink of an eye?"

Ning Tao shrugged slightly, "Okay, then pretend I didn't say anything."

Going around the tree, there is a staircase behind, Bai Jing entered first, and slowly climbed up. Ning Tao also followed up the stairs, climbing up step by step. While walking, he quietly awakened the state of seeing and hearing of the eyes and nose. In an instant, he saw a lot of evil spirits, and he also cultivated the smell of evil spirits, the source of which was the silver dead tree.

Ning Tao was shocked. Could it be that the tree was a demon before its death?

Bai Jing suddenly stopped and lowered her voice, "Master doesn't like people prying into the secrets here. You are a guest, but you have to abide by the rules here."

Ning Tao ended the state of seeing and hearing the eyes and nose, pretending not to know, "I didn't do anything, why are you so nervous?"

Bai Jing's sixth sense is very strong. He had seen it as early as the meeting at Panjiayuan in the northern capital. At that time, Bai Jing turned her back to him as now, and he awakened the second state detection of eyes and nose. She, in the end she noticed it, and returned his sharp look.

Bai Jing didn't say much, just said, "Come with me."

Ning Tao followed her up to the second floor, then entered a corridor and walked forward. After not walking far, Qing Zhui stopped in front of a door, reached out and knocked on the door.

"Father, Dr. Ning is here." Bai Jing said.

Just now, she called Bai Sheng "Master", but now she calls Bai Sheng "Father". The two different names show a problem, that is, the relationship between Bai Jing and Bai Sheng is very different. Qing Zhui is Bai Jing's younger sister, presumably she is also Bai Sheng's disciple, as well as Bai Sheng's adopted daughter.

In Ning Tao's mind, Liu Xian'er and Wu Xiaolin couldn't help reappearing the two teenagers. They are not demons, but cultivators. He had already confirmed this, because when they met at the mountain gate, he saw the aura of a cultivator from Liu Xian'er and Wu Xiaolin, but he did not see the aura of a demon.

This first floor of Yinshan is really a mysterious and weird place!

Just as Ning Tao's thoughts flashed, a voice came from behind the door, "Please come in."

This voice, like a man or a woman, is very demonic!
