Above the stars

old soil. Lingyang.

Flame Shrine, Lingyang Branch.

A middle-aged man with a strong body was sitting on a big soft tiger-skin chair, and a young woman in a gray robe and veil was holding a silver needle, slowly piercing the three-inch long needle into the man's head.

Needle after needle, after the twelve silver needles were inserted in succession, streams of black mist emerged along the bodies of the twelve silver needles. At the same time, the color of the silver needles quickly turned dark black. .

The bystanders were shocked and started talking in low voices.

"It's smoking, it's smoking."

"Keep your voice down and don't disturb the God's envoy's treatment."

"This doctor invited from the Henshan gathering area really has a lot of skills."

"If she hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid the envoy would have been in trouble."

"Someone dares to harm the God Envoy. They are really asking for death."

"What's this? The previous White Robe was killed by someone. The entire Flame Army was killed."

"Shh, keep your voice down."

——

A few minutes later, the woman took off the silver needles from the middle-aged man's head one by one, threw it into the alcohol box in front of her, then handed over the bowl of dried soup next to her, and said: "Master Envoy, Drink this bowl of detoxification soup and the poisonous gas in your body will be completely eliminated."

The middle-aged man opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of light. He took the bowl of soup and drank it in one gulp.

After drinking, he looked at the young woman in gray robe and said loudly: "Doctor, have all the toxins in my body been gone?"

"It has been completely eliminated." The gray-robed woman said aloud: "I used the "Taiyi Acupuncture" acupuncture method to open up all the meridians in the body of the God Envoy, and forced all the toxins out of the body. Does the God Envoy feel that now Refreshing, no longer feeling heavy and stagnant like before? "

"That's right. Now all the physical discomfort has disappeared." The middle-aged man felt it carefully, looked at the young woman and said: "Lei first arrived in Lingyang and was killed by an adulterer. He was actually included in the food and drinks. Poisoned"

"I have been in a coma for the past few days, thanks to the girl's rescue. I haven't had time to ask the girl what to call her?"

"An Ning." The gray-robed woman said out loud.

"Peace?" The man read it again and said: "In such troubled times, it is not easy to live in peace. I, Lei Zongnan, will avenge my enemies and reward my kindness. You are my savior, my Lei Zongnan Nan naturally wants to repay your kindness. I don't know what Miss An Ning wants?"

"No." An Ning said out loud. “It is a doctor’s bounden duty to treat illnesses and save lives.”

"What a doctor's bounden duty." Lei Zongnan laughed loudly and said: "Few people can say such words now. Miss An Ning is as her name suggests, true and kind. You can join our shrine, and you are one of the best in our shrine." blessing"

"I dare not take it." An Ning said calmly, "I just want to ask for an asylum."

"Miss An Ning is a real person." Lei Zongnan looked at An Ning and asked, "Are you a member of the shrine at the Hate Mountain gathering area?"

"Yes." Wang Tianlong stood up from the crowd, saluted respectfully to Lei Zongnan, and said, "Master Divine Envoy, Miss An Ning is the doctor recommended by our Henshan gathering area."

Lei Zongnan nodded, looked at the ugly scar on Wang Tianlong's face, and said: "Such an appalling thing happened in the Hate Mountain gathering area. Originally, I was going to sort it out again. This is something I have never done. The reason for promoting you to the black robe is because I don’t think anyone over there can be trusted.”

"However, you are an old man in our shrine. You are also a very lucky person to have escaped death in that incident. This time you recommended Dr. An Ning to your credit. My life was saved by you two. You can use Actions prove loyalty to the shrine.”

"Wang Tianlong, I am now promoting you to the black-robed envoy of the Flame Shrine, responsible for all affairs of the shrine in the Hate Mountain gathering area. I wonder if you have the confidence to take on this responsibility?"

thump!

Wang Tianlong knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "Thank you for being promoted by the envoy, Wang Tianlong will definitely do his best and will never disappoint the high expectations of the envoy."

"Well, trying your best is easy to say but hard to say. After you take over the black robe, you need to reorganize the shrine in the hate mountain gathering area and reintegrate all the available forces. I will also send people used to help you”

"Yes. I will gather my strength in the shortest possible time and establish a branch in the Henshan gathering area." Wang Tianlong took the order.

He knew that Lei Zongnan didn't trust him enough, so he would definitely send his close relatives to keep an eye on him.

However, this is not important.

With An Ning's help, no matter who he sends, they will eventually become their "one of their own."

"Also, the superiors have been keeping an eye on the case of Winger Divine Envoy. That Tang bandit went to Xinxing, but he has no remaining party? No companions? You have to cut off a few heads over there and come to report to the superiors."

Lei Zongnan didn't care who killed the winger, he was even grateful that someone could kill the winger.

If the winger does not die, he will not have the opportunity to serve as the chief priest of Lingyang Region.

However, the white robe of the Flame Shrine was killed, and the Flame Army in the entire area was wiped out. This was really a slap in the face.

If you cannot give an explanation to your superiors, your superiors will question your ability to do things.

Therefore, he needs some heads to deal with.

As for whose head it is.

It's up to you to make up the story yourself.

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission." Wang Tianlong took the order again.

"Well, let's go to work." Lei Zongnan said loudly.

Wang Tianlong looked at An Ning and said, "Doctor An Ning."

"Doctor An Ning, please don't go back." Lei Zongnan said aloud: "It is a pity that such a great talent is placed in your Henshan gathering area. She will stay in Lingyang and serve as the medical officer within our shrine, right? Dr. An Ning, Would you like to?"

"I have to go back, my mother is still in the Henshan gathering area." An Ning said.

"You can bring her here to enjoy the blessings. The conditions in Lingyang City are much better than those in the Henshan gathering area."

"My mother doesn't want to. There are neighbors, relatives and friends over there who take care of each other. When I come here, I'm not familiar with the place. I'm afraid she won't get used to it."

"If she is willing to stay in the Henshan gathering area, let Wang Tianlong take care of her. I don't think she will suffer any injustice."

"Yes." Wang Tianlong bowed in response, looked at An Ning and said, "Doctor An, God envoys His Excellency to value talents so much, why don't you stay? Life in Lingyang is much better than our Hate Mountain gathering area, and there are With the protection of the Flame Shrine, I think life will not be difficult in the future.”

"As for your mother's matter, you don't have to worry about it at all. I, Wang Tianlong, swear here that I will treat her as my own mother and ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing, and will not be bullied in any way."

"When you are not busy with work, you can go back and have a look at any time, or when I come to Lingyang to report to the God Envoy, I will pick up your mother and let you two get along well for three days when you go back Is this okay if we take her back again?"

An Ning pondered for a moment and said, "That's fine."

"Hahaha, Doctor An Ning, Lingyang needs a good doctor like you even more. Don't worry, Lei will never treat you badly."

He looked at the black veil covering An Ning's face and said, "Take off the black veil and let me see. You can't just know his name but not know what your savior looks like."

"Sir, Dr. An Ning's face was injured." Wang Tianlong helped explain at the side: "I'm afraid that I'm afraid of shocking the envoy."

"It doesn't matter." Lei Zongnan didn't care and said, "What kind of person has Lei Mou not seen?"

An Ning pondered for a moment, then reached out and took off the black gauze on his face.

Lei Zongnan took a look, waved his hand and said, "Put it on, Dr. An Ning is also a poor person."

An Ning's face turned gloomy, and she hung the black gauze over her earlobe again.

Wang Tianlong said goodbye and left, going back to rectify the Flame Branch of Henshan. An Ning sent him out with the excuse of giving his mother a few words.

"Tell my mother that I will find time to go back to see her and tell her not to worry." An Ning said loudly.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of her."

"What Lei Zongnan told us must be done as soon as possible. With the young people in the village as the core, recruit community members from the surrounding human gathering areas, find a few predators that have not been caught before, chop off their heads and send them here. He's on business."

"Don't worry, I will take care of it. There will definitely be no flaws."

"Also." An Ning took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and threw it over, saying, "This is the antidote for three months. Within three months, you must come to Lingyang City again."

"Thank you." Wang Tianlong took the porcelain bottle and put it into his pocket.

"Don't blame me." An Ning said aloud: "There can be no mistakes in this matter."

"I understand. I do the same to others. Whoever dares to betray will only die."

"Just understand." An Ning said.

"Brother Tang, do you have any contact?"

"No." An Ning shook his head and said, "These are the things we should do. Just get things done."

"I understand." Tianwanglong looked around and whispered, "Be careful and don't let Lei Zongnan discover any clues."

"He can't find it." An Ning said aloud: "The day he discovers it will be the day he dies."

"I believe in your ability." Wang Tianlong said with a smile.

Who knows, the person who detoxifies is not the person who poisons?

The method of detoxification is not the method of cultivating poison?

Wang Tianlong dared to use his own head to guarantee that this woman had definitely not detoxified Lei Zongnan's body.

He doesn't know anything and can still live well.

If something went wrong, I'm afraid this woman would take his life immediately.

He just couldn't understand how there could be so many ruthless people in a small Henshan gathering area.

As for the Tang bandits, they are even more difficult to capture by themselves.

After hugging the princess's lap, Xinxing must have been sailing ninety thousand miles smoothly, right?

The question is, will he come back?

——

The outside world was noisy and lively, but Tang Bandit hid himself.

I get up early every day to practice Qigong. After breakfast, I go to school with Xiaopang.

Martial Arts class in the morning and mechanics class in the afternoon.

After returning home in the evening, practice the second sword of "Netherworld Scroll" in the practice room.

Practice Ten Thousand Swords every night

However, problems also emerged at the same time.

The first sword in "Netherworld Scroll" is learning, imitation, and practice makes perfect.

Tang Bandit only needs to follow the villain's demonstration and practice over and over again.

Until it is so familiar to the heart that the sword becomes a part of the body's memory.

The second sword was about enlightenment. Tang Bandi imitated the sword moves demonstrated by the villain and tried several times, but found that something didn't feel right.

The movements are exactly the same, but the strength displayed is far inferior, not even as powerful as the first sword.

Bandit Tang felt that there must be some tricks in this sword, which he hadn't discovered yet.

So, while he was practicing sword moves, he would sit on the ground every day and watch that villain practice, over and over, over and over again.

Looking at it, Bandit Tang felt that his mental strength was exhausted too much, and he passed out directly.

He didn't expect that watching the sword would be more tiring than practicing it.

Bandit Tang didn't dare to be too anxious, he slowed himself down and made progress in a circular manner.

He has to look for an opportunity to break through, or look at a flower, listen to a rain, eat a bowl of rice and fart

However, before that opportunity came, he couldn't break through the second sword.

Tang Bandi was sitting on the operating table making a white tiger. Because his beloved teacher Lu Wuyu had made a white tiger with astonishing lethality, Tang Bandit pestered her to teach him how to make a white tiger.

Lu Wuyu disagreed at first, mocking Tang Bandit for wanting to run even before he could walk. That mechanical white tiger contained a lot of mechanical skills and intelligent craftsmanship.

With the current bandit Tang, even the white tiger's tail can't be done well.

Bandit Tang said that what she said was right, but he still wanted to be a white tiger.

Lu Whisper is a person who hates trouble. Since he wants to learn, she will teach him.

Anyway, she just demonstrated it once in front of the operating table. How much she can remember depends on Tang Bandit's understanding.

Bandit Tang's comprehension was so good that he memorized them all.

There are many mechanical skills that make him feel very familiar. Think carefully, didn't the old man teach this thing before?

It proved once again that the relationship between Lu whisper and the old man is not simple.

Tang Bandit is making the head of the white tiger. This head is the core and brain of the mechanical tiger. It contains not only tedious mechanical skills, but also many smart chips and circuit integration that need to be installed and arranged.

It is indeed not an easy task.

He glanced at Lu Whisper who was sleeping soundly on the table in the corner, and he was filled with jealousy.

If I had such good skills, I would have gone back to sleep long ago. Who still wants to come to class?

How can a desk in the classroom be as comfortable as a big bed at home? What can school teach her?

Tang Bandit didn't know the specific assessment criteria for the mechanical level, but he thought that with Lu Wu's mechanical proficiency, it would not be a problem to pass the exam to become a senior mechanic.

He thought about the mechanical snake again. Was it Lu Whisper's creation?

What does she want to do? What is she testing?

When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Lu Wuyu opened her sleepy eyes, then picked up the small bag on the table and walked outside.

Tang Bandit also put away the tiger's head and locked it in the cabinet under the console, then followed Lu Whispering and walked outside.

Lu Whisper walked to the school's underground parking lot and swiped her card in the system. Soon, mechanical transportation equipment delivered a red sports car to her.

Tang Bandit was secretly envious. This woman was so rich that she actually had a sports car to drive.

Tang Bandi calculated the balance in his card and finally controlled his inflated desire.

Money needs to be spent wisely, and now is not the time for them to squander it.

After all, Phoenix transferred him 20 million star coins, and he spent most of it on renovating a practice room and purchasing a bunch of practice equipment.

There are still a lot of things to spend money on, so you should try to save as much as you can.

Besides, didn’t His Highness the Second Prince also give him a flying car?

He doesn't lack a car, he lacks a driving license.

Tang Bandit ran fast and intercepted a driverless car at the school gate. After Lu Whisper's car drove out of the school gate, he directed the driverless car to follow her sports car.

Lu Whisper drove the sports car all the way west and walked to the edge of Phoenix City. The car didn't stop, and ended up running towards a more distant mountainous area.

Tang Bandit hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and followed.

The on-board map shows that the mountain ahead is called Luban Mountain.

Luban Mountain? The ancestor of the mechanical department.

Above the new star, being able to name a mountain after one person shows how powerful this person is.

I'm afraid that the old house of the loser of the nine major families is in Luban Mountain. Could it be that Lu Whisper is from the nine major families?

If she was from the Nine Great Families, why didn't she show up at the Phoenix Coming of Age Ceremony dinner?

The red sports car went faster and faster, and then disappeared into a cave in front of it.

Tang Bandit was greatly surprised. He drove his car into the cave and walked around the mountain, but still found no trace of the red sports car.

"Strange? Why is the car missing?"

"Where did Lu Whisper go? Even if a person can hide, the car can't hide, right? Can she still carry the car and hide?"

What surprised Tang Bandi even more was that when he got out of the car and looked around, he couldn't find even tire marks on the ground.

He saw Lu Wuyu driving into the mountains with his own eyes, and he followed closely behind him in his vehicle. How could there be no car mark? Could her car fly?

Tang Bandi looked up at the sky. The sky was gray and shrouded in a layer of mist.

When we first came out, it was clear that the setting sun was like blood. The afterglow of the sun illuminated the river surface red, and one koi carp after another jumped out of the water.

Why were there suddenly dark clouds? The sky inside the mountain was completely different from the sky outside the mountain. It was like entering another world.

With no trace of Lu Whisper, this tracking failed completely.

Tang Bandit was preparing to drive home.

He went around and around and found that he was spinning in circles.

An even stranger thing happened. The cave they had just walked through disappeared, as if it had never been there.

He was trapped in this mountain, with no exit and no way out.
