Evernight God Walk

Chapter 149 There Are Cracks in Everything (Seeking Subscription Monthly Pass)
"Stinky boy, you really dare to ask!"

The old man in the tuxedo snorted and said angrily, and then looked at his lady confidently: "How could the lady tell such a secret technique that is invaluable..."

"It's okay to tell you."

Nan Ning smiled slightly and said: "This method really exists. It is an ancient secret technique. My father once mentioned it to me, but I don't know how to practice it. I can write a letter back and ask my family to send a copy of it. share."

Xu Shen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party really knew. Although he was not a Ruins Slayer, he knew more than them. Is this the natural advantage brought by the family environment?

"Miss...Miss..."

The old man in the tuxedo was dumbfounded, and after a long pause, he said to himself: "Miss must have another purpose to win over this person with a secret technique. Anyway, this secret technique is extremely difficult to practice. When this kid is halfway through practicing, if you want to follow up, you can do it." I have to beg the young lady, if this is the case, he must be loyal to the young lady and become the confidant that the young lady cultivated in this city..."

"As expected of a young lady, she has far-sighted thinking, even if only one percent of the Patriarch's thinking is enough, it's enough to play this little brat around."

He nodded as he spoke.

"Well, this kind of thing is very precious, how can I repay you?" Xu Shen couldn't help asking Nan Ning when he heard the old man's words.

Nan Ning was taken aback, then shook her head and said: "You don't need to repay me, you have taken care of me a lot during this time, not to mention that the secret art is just a manuscript, and there is no loss to us, as long as you don't spread it everywhere."

"Miss...Miss..."

The old man in the tuxedo was stunned for a while, then suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Tall!"

"As expected of a young lady, I would be moved even if I heard these words. This brat will definitely give in without expecting anything in return. This way of buying people's hearts really has the demeanor of a master!"

Your lady doesn't seem to mean that... Xu Shen didn't look sideways, and said to Nan Ning: "Taking care of you is what a bodyguard should do... Besides this kind of secret technique of cultivating the spirit, is there anything else, such as practicing swords?" Or something like combat?"

The old man in the tuxedo suddenly jumped up, looked at Xu Shen angrily, poked his fingers excitedly on Xu Shen's eyeballs, but overlapped each other: "Stinky boy, don't push yourself too hard, Miss is kind-hearted, you really bullied me so hard? !"

"Practicing swords?"

Nan Ning was slightly stunned, thought for a while and said, "It seems there is. I'll ask later, but it's a pity that Butler Hong is not around, otherwise I'll know if I ask him."

The old man in the tuxedo was excited: "Miss, you finally remembered me, I am here, I have always been here!"

"Then I will trouble you, and I will repay you if I have the opportunity in the future." Xu Shen said seriously.

The face of the old man in the tuxedo suddenly collapsed, and he turned his head to look at Xu Shen coldly: "Repay? You are a second form of the bottom city, what repayment do you have? If it weren't for the young lady who insisted on coming out this time to practice, you, a pariah like you, will spend your whole life I didn’t even have the chance to see Miss’s face, and I’d like to repay you, letting you see Miss’s face is already a gift to the whole city!”

"Small things, don't worry about them." Nan Ning smiled.

"Miss, this is not a trivial matter..." The old man in the tuxedo looked like he was about to cry, but the lady prefers the law and doesn't like these things, but how can these be trivial matters?The secret technique of spiritual cultivation alone is enough to make the emperor jealous. Although the other emperors have surpassed the barrier of life and death and have also honed the cultivation method, it is not proper.

The system here refers to a complete cultivation system and has the function of inheritance.

Most of the cultivation methods of these bottom city kings are wild methods, which are only suitable for themselves and cannot be used by others. This is also the reason why it is difficult to develop a large-scale inheritance from generation to generation.

Xu Shen smiled slightly, he was no longer polite, he did not say thanks for his great kindness, people who are full of politeness may not really take their kindness into their hearts, but in reality, such people are indeed more popular.

When they came to the door, the two went back to their rooms.

Xu Shen finished injecting himself with the purification agent and continued to practice with his sword drawn.

While cultivating, he is also constantly rotating the ruthless power in his body to purify it.

After half a month of absorption and purification, Xu Shen's xu power in the body not only did not increase, but decreased instead.

It's just that although the amount has decreased, Xu Shen clearly felt that the speed of drawing his sword and all aspects of his shots were sharper than before.

The speed with which Ruins power circulates has greatly improved his combat effectiveness.

Xu Shen estimated the amount of internal energy in his body, and now it is about 280 tubes, which is still a bottomless pit, without the slightest sense of fullness.

In the blink of an eye, another week passed.

Xu Shen followed Nan Ning every day, and he saw that Nan Ning's changes during this period were particularly obvious. Compared with the youthful and lively when he first came to Dicheng, he was obviously more restrained and mature.

Now that she came to the city-state guardianship, Nan Ning was no longer in a hurry to find the case, and would spend more time looking through files and checking past cases.

In addition, occasionally sitting somewhere, or looking at something, a person in a daze.

Xu Shen has been working with her for so long, and he can feel her mood. He has seen all kinds of bloody scenes, ugly words, and indifferent attitudes, which will make people feel chilling.

"When do you plan to go back?"

In the archives room, Xu Shen leaned on the shelf, and was also flipping through the files casually.

With his and Nan Ning's identities, normally they can only apply to read a certain volume from inside, and they need to get approval from above to get it, but now they can enter and exit at will.

As clever as Nan Ning, she also realized that her identity as Bai Yue might have been exposed.

But she doesn't care now.

She believes that what she sees and sees is already the real face of Dicheng, and it can no longer be true.

Hearing Xu Shen's question, the old man who followed the girl like a follower couldn't help stretching his head to look at his young lady.

Nan Ning looked down at the file and said, "Go back when things here are almost settled."

This is obviously a perfunctory remark.

"The things here are endless, just like the ruins, endless." Xu Shen's eyes were gloomy, and now he gradually understood the feelings of the old man in a tuxedo who was next to the girl, and he didn't want her to stay in the bottom city any longer. .

If it was just a bodyguard mission at the beginning, after getting along for a while, Xu Shen has already regarded the girl as his good friend.

The other party is from the inner city, values ​​life, has no airs, and does not have the hypocrisy of a noble lady, with a lively and cheerful personality, it is hard not to be liked.

Xu Shen didn't want her to stay here and continue to be polluted.

"As long as you keep dealing with it, it will be finished one day." Nan Ning raised her head, looked at Xu Shen firmly in her eyes, and said, "There are indeed many loopholes in the law here, which is very imperfect, like a mess, but it is Because of this, everyone is unwilling to deal with it, and it will never get better. It's like a dirty room. I don't know where to start to clean it up, so I choose not to clean it up, but... as long as I clean it up carefully, it will definitely be cleaned. .”

"But it still gets dirty again."

"Then clean it up."

The girl said: "The gardener in our family will trim the messy branches that grow out every once in a while. Some things need to be maintained, and they can't be fixed permanently at once."

Xu Shen was slightly startled, staring at her.

"If the gardeners give up, who will maintain the estate."

Nan Ning's eyes shifted to the dossiers piled up on the shelf: "You are in Dicheng, and you know their difficulties better than I do. If even those of us who are capable give up on them, who will stand up for them?"

Xu Shen was silent, he couldn't answer.

Once upon a time, he also hoped that such a person would appear.

Save the people like a hero.

But now, such a person appeared, but he persuaded him not to go into this muddy water.

"Miss..." The old man in the tuxedo had complicated eyes and fell silent.

"What if it can't be solved forever?" Xu Shen looked at Nan Ning: "You are still young, maybe you can't solve it after all your life?"

"Then at least I have fought for this in my life." Nan Ning said seriously: "It is also a lucky thing for a person to find something he wants to do in this life, and to fight for it unswervingly until the end of his life. .”

Xu Shen couldn't quite understand this ideal beyond eating and drinking, and asked, "Is this meaningful?"

"It doesn't make sense?" the girl asked back.

Xu Shen didn't answer.

"There's a crack in everything, and that's how the light gets in!"

Nan Ning looked at Xu Shen, with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "I hope I will be one of the lights. My teacher has been like a light all his life, shining on the inner city. I hope to shine on the bottom city. I believe there are many people here. With such a belief, it is just that there is no such opportunity and ability, so someone needs to take the lead."

Where the light came in... Xu Shen was in a daze.

He stared at the young girl in front of him. The latter's eyes were as bright as stars, and at this moment it seemed impossible to look directly at her.

Like a ray of light shining into the abyss.

only……

If it is to fill the crack, will the light that shines in be more like a sharp claw?
……

……

The next day.

Xu Shen was delighted to receive the news from Nan Ning that the letters he had sent to his family had been answered, and along with the letters came two manuscript copies of secret arts.

Xu Shen saw that the person who delivered the package was a young man who escaped from the ruins. He turned a blind eye to the old man in a tuxedo beside the girl. He just said something to Nan Ning, with a friendly demeanor. According to Nan Ning's name, he was one of her cousins.

"I heard that my little sister asked for the secret technique for you?"

When the young man saw Xu Shen walking out of the hotel next door, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, and he looked at him disdainfully.

"No, who did you listen to?"

Nan Ning quickly covered up.

The young man slightly rolled his eyes, and said: "You are not a ruiner, what do you want this thing for, hmph, this kid looks just like this, not as good-looking as me, little girl, you are not someone who looks at leather watches, why? Will you ask for a secret technique for this kid? Do you know how important this secret technique is, once it is leaked out, how can ordinary people afford it!"

Seeing that she was exposed, Nan Ning pouted and said, "Anyway, you won't give the whole set, and it's nothing for others to practice."

"You, you're too headstrong!" The young man shook his head and said something critical, but his eyes showed helplessness and doting.

"Okay, during the time I've been here, thanks to Brother Xu who helped me a lot and taught me a lot of things, I should be grateful to him." Nan Ning immediately took the young man's hand, and performed the coquettish method.

"Don't bother." The young man withdrew his palm, looking impatient, but no matter how he looked at it, Xu Shen felt that his eyes were about to lose his smile, and he saw the other party throwing the package in his hand.

Xu Shen quickly caught it.

"What can a person from Dicheng teach you? Don't be deceived when you go out. Forget it this time. It's not an example." The young man said angrily.

"Got it." Nan Ning nodded obediently.

The young man glanced at Xu Shen, and said: "Destroy it after reading it. If it leaks out, your lives won't be enough to cut it off. And I definitely have a way to make you want to die, you know?"

"En." Xu Shen nodded.

Taking other people's treasures, he can accept a few cold words.

It can also be seen that Nan Ning's family really dotes on her. Even though they knew that such a precious thing was for outsiders and wanted to stop it, they still brought it.

I really don't worry about leaking it, or do I feel that there is this old butler Hong next to me, so I can't make waves?

No matter what, Xu Shen knew that what he was holding in his hand was Nan Ning's generous favor.

"Let's go!" The young man waved his hands and turned to leave.

"Since they're all here, let's have lunch together." Nan Ning hurriedly asked to stay.

The young man stopped in his footsteps and said impatiently, "What lunch should I eat? I'm afraid I'll be poisoned if I eat the food from Dicheng."

"You have been afraid of being poisoned since you were a child, so let's eat together." Nan Ning said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll eat with you once." The young man snorted coldly.

"Brother Xu, you can come too." Nan Ning smiled, grabbed Xu Shen's arm and pulled him over.

The young man's eyes suddenly widened, and he said angrily: "Little sister, if a man and a woman can't kiss each other, are you getting too close to this kid?"

"You haven't seen more intimacy, I'm used to it." The old man in the tuxedo muttered to the side, and looked at Xu Shen with the same expression.

Xu Shen had a headache, so he secretly glanced at Maeve next to him, and saw that she was also very angry.

What kind of scene is this...

"Okay, okay." Nan Ning let go, and took the young man's arm: "What do you want to eat?"

The young man's expression softened, and he snorted softly after hearing the words: "It seems that whatever I want to eat can be found here, whatever you want, anyway, I'm going to have a meal with you anyway, and leave after eating."

"Then I'll make the decision." Nan Ning smiled.

It looked like three people, but actually five people got off the elevator.

Go to the hotel cafeteria on the first floor.

Nan Ning ordered meals for the young man, and Xu Shen also ordered his own.

When the food came, the three of them sat at a table and ate.

"Eat it, this is delicious." Nan Ning began to promote it.

The young man snorted coldly: "Is there any food in Dicheng that is delicious... Hmm."

"How about it?"

"It's okay." The young man said with a straight face.

Nan Ning giggled.

After a few people finished eating, the young man stood up and said, "I'm busy with business, so I'll go back first, and you should pay attention to safety."

Nan Ning said, "Do you want to go with me to the city-state guardhouse?"

"I... that's fine." The young man slowed down as he was about to leave, and said coldly, "Since we're here, let's take a look at your working environment and see if anyone is bullying you."

"Who would dare?" Nan Ning covered her mouth and snickered.

"Humph!"

The young man snorted coldly, and told Xu Shen, "Go and drive to lead the way."

Xu Shen didn't say much, and honestly led the way ahead.

He also saw that Nan Ning's cousin loved Nan Ning very much, and he had a temperament that was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

After accompanying Nan Ning around the city-state guardhouse, the young man looked at the time and said, "It's almost time, I'm going back to report."

"It will be night in two hours, shall we leave after dinner?" Nan Ning asked.

The young man was taken aback, thought for a while and asked, "Will it be too late?"

"Then how about cousin go back first?" Nan Ning hesitated.

Qingqing coughed: "In fact, two hours is really fast, it seems to pass in a blink of an eye."

"Then let's have dinner together." Nan Ning said happily.

The young man said helplessly: "Okay, then I can only eat with you one more time."

When the dinner was over, Nan Ning didn't want to stay any longer, and the young man could only keep a straight face and embarked on the journey back.

Saying goodbye to cousin, Xu Shen and Nan Ning also returned to their respective guest rooms.

Xu Shen couldn't wait to take out the package and open it. The package was not big, and there were only two manuscripts inside.

The covers were all blank, and when Xu Shen turned to the first page, he saw the name of the secret technique.

One is "Mist Walker".

The other is "The Waves of the Ruins"

When Xu Shen was flipping through the secret arts, he saw an old man in a tuxedo coming out of the wall and standing beside him watching.

Xu Shen flipped through the two books first.

The secret technique of the fog walker is a practice secret technique for exercising spiritual power.

Xu Wave is a secret technique to control Xu power.

However, turning to the end, Xu Shen found that, as Nan Ning said, the two secret arts were incomplete and not the complete version.

Xu Shen felt a little regretful, but he was also relieved. After all, neither the Chasing Light Society nor the Ruins Secret Bureau had such a precious secret technique.

"Hmph, although you have the secret technique, whether you can learn it or not depends on you." The old man in the tuxedo hummed softly, sitting on the edge of the bed and watching gracefully.

What Xu Shen watched first was "Walker in the Fog", to practice spiritual power.

According to the description inside, it is to extend the mental power out of the body, escape into the dense fog, and exercise in the dense fog.
