Chapter 146 Flowers Are Similar
Kong Ning was a little depressed.
He thought he was hiding well, but now it seems that he has been exposed since the day he entered Hejian Mansion.
It's just that I bumped into such a terrifying big monster just after entering the city... Is there such a thing as unlucky!
Who the hell would have thought that in broad daylight, in a city full of people coming and going, you could bump into a terrifying big monster head-on!
Even in the Hejian Mansion where demons are rampant, such luck can be said to be rare.
Sure enough, the practice of refining the sky is still too weak.
To survive in this perilous world, one must continue to kill monsters and improve one's cultivation.
At the very least, one must reach the Primordial Spirit Realm, or even the Realm of Disgust!
In order to avoid such unlucky things from happening again.
And Kong Ning's next explanation made Liu Ruxue understand the cause and effect.
I better understand the warning and threat in the painting sent by the saint of the black lotus.
The meaning of this painting sent by the Holy Maiden of the Black Lotus is actually very simple - your spying last night is under my control.
Liu Ruxue frowned and said, "Master, why don't you leave now? Ruxue is willing to go out of the city with you and stay away from this place."
Kong Ning looked at the peony scroll in his hand, shook his head and said.
"It's not that easy... Since the monster has its eyes on me, it gave me a day to prepare, because it is confident that I can't escape her grasp, so it uses this method of playing with its prey to tease me."
"I didn't do it directly, I just wanted to scare me for a whole day..."
"If I go out of the city now, I'm afraid I'll be blocked by that monster before I go out of the city gate."
Kong Ning threw it casually, and the peony scroll in his hand immediately ignited out of thin air under the sun, quickly turned into ashes and fell.
Kong Ning said: "For the present plan, I can only bite the bullet and go over there to see what that monster wants to do."
Liu Ruxue was a little puzzled and anxious: "But didn't the young master say that the demon is far ahead of you? If you go to the banquet at night, it will be like throwing yourself into a trap."
"If you flee now, maybe the demon is not ready yet... Maybe there is still a glimmer of life."
Liu Ruxue was worried.
Kong Ning looked at the familiar face of a witch in front of him, and couldn't help laughing.
It was the first time for him to see such an expression of concern and worry from the bottom of his heart, as well as an expression of burning anxiety on Su Yan's face.
Although she knew that this was not Su Yan, but this scene seemed to make her feel inexplicably happy.
Kong Ning smiled and said: "Don't worry, she must be fully prepared."
"She knew about it when I visited the main altar of the Black Lotus Sect last night. But she kept it secret and didn't send someone over to deliver the painting until now."
"During this interval, she definitely didn't go to sleep, but laid some kind of trap to wait for me."
"I'm going to run right now, that's the way to die."
"I have dealt with monsters like this who like to play with people's hearts and their prey, and I am very familiar with their behavior style."
"Since she didn't kill me directly, it means that I still have the value of living. If I go to meet her at night, there is still a chance of life. Maybe she has something for me to do, or she wants to play with me for a while , wouldn’t be so eager to kill me.”
"And now if she runs away directly, making her unable to continue playing and losing her fun, there is a high probability that she will anger this witch and be killed by her on the spot, without even a last chance of survival."
"So tonight's banquet, whether I go or not, I have to go. There is no second choice."
Kong Ning's explanation made Liu Ruxue startled slightly.
The expression is a little uncomfortable.
"Master Kong Ning..."
Kong Ning sighed, and said: "You don't need to feel uncomfortable. Now that we have contact, after I die, the monster will definitely not let you go."
"Maybe I will go ahead and you will follow. We can continue to be friends under the nine springs."
Kong Ning made a joke with a smile.
"Su Yan" who was dressed in white froze for a moment, then burst out laughing, but the more she laughed, the more uncomfortable her expression became.
In the end, she kept shaking her head and said, "Young Master Kong Ning will definitely be fine."
"I saw in my dream that you were stepping on the corpse of a demon to frighten the demon in the City God's Palace..."
"That scene hasn't happened yet, son, you are sure that there will be auspicious signs, and nothing will happen tonight."
Liu Ruxue said so.
Kong Ning smiled in surprise, and said, "That's right...you still have dreams of predicting the future. Ever since we met, do you still have the dream of us meeting in the rainstorm?"
Liu Ruxue shook her head, and said: "In the past few days, Ruxue hasn't had any more dreams. If she has a new dream, she must tell Young Master and never hide it."
Kong Ning smiled and said: "Then I believe that you can really predict the future, so I went to see that demon girl calmly. I hope Miss Liu's dream this time can also come true."
Wangjiang Tower, located in the north of Hejianfu City, is connected to the tall city wall...or in other words, it is a part of the city wall itself.
Under the tall foundation walls, there are rushing rivers and riverbanks.
Standing here, you can climb high and look far away, with a wide view, the beautiful scenery of the mountains and river beaches in the north of the city, and the surging river... everything can be seen in the panoramic view.
If Wang Bo came here, he could also write a sentence "Sunset clouds and lone ducks fly together, and the autumn waters are the same color as the sky".
When Kong Ning came to Wangjiang Tower, he could no longer see the sunset, let alone the beautiful scenery of autumn water and sky.
Under the night, the Wangjiang Tower is brightly lit, and one after another ingenious lanterns decorate the place in an incomparably unique way.
The restaurant here was originally a well-known recreational place in the city. Above the attic, there are many poems left by literati.
But tonight, the Holy Maiden of the Black Lotus hosted a banquet here, and the Wangjiang Tower was naturally cleared by the disciples of the Black Lotus Sect. Inside and outside the door were all disciples of the Black Lotus Sect in cassocks.
As a sect that is in full swing in Hejian Mansion, the Saintess of Black Lotus has such a pomp.
Kong Ning, who appeared in the night, came to the Wangjiang Tower alone, and immediately a disciple of Heilian stepped forward respectfully and saluted.
"Congratulations, Mr. Kong Ning! The saint has been waiting in the building for a long time."
Under the light at the door, Kong Ning looked at the disciples of the Black Lotus Sect with Su Yan's face, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
The last time I saw Su Yan's respectful expression was when she was playing role-playing...
"Lead the way," Kong Ning looked at his nose and heart, unwilling to look at Su Yan who was everywhere again.
On both sides of the long stone steps leading to the Wangjiang Tower, there were Su Yan in black lotus robes.
In the shadows of the night, such a scene is too weird.
Kong Ning didn't say a word, and followed the disciple of the Black Lotus Sect who led the way to the gate of Wangjiang Tower.
The Wangjiang Tower in the night has three floors. It can also be regarded as a magnificent and magnificent building.
Kong Ning followed the disciple leading the way and climbed the stairs all the way to the highest point of the third floor.
The third floor of Wangjiang Building is a huge banquet hall, which is generally not open to the public.
And the disciple who led the way stopped when he reached the second floor.
The next ones to bring Kong Ning up were two Su Yan in maid clothes.
When Kong Ning finally walked to the spacious banquet hall, he walked through the screen and saw Su Yan who was leaning against the window and watching the night on the river, dressed in purple.
When Kong Ning passed through the screen, the woman turned her head and smiled.
"Young Master came so slowly, I really made my servants wait."
Under the bright lights, that purple-clothed Su Yan smiled like a flower.
But even his demeanor and temperament are exactly the same as the scorpion spirit in Shanlan County.
Kong Ning frowned subconsciously.
Although knowing that this demon girl likes to play with people's hearts, she has some kind of psychological preparation.
But now seeing this familiar face and familiar smile with my own eyes, I still feel a little uncomfortable.
This kind of demon girl is not carved out of the same mold...
