Chapter 600: The True Teachings of Wanxiang Meng Yaoyin

"Senior Sister Meng...?" Ning Zhuo had an indifferent expression and a calm tone.

Only Sun Lingtong, who truly knew him, knew how turbulent the undercurrent was beneath Ning Zhuo's calm surface.

Wen Ruanyu had no doubts: "Yes, she is my senior sister, the true disciple of Wanxiang Sect."

"The reason why I stay in Baizhi Xiancheng is because of a ghost tide crisis."

"More than 30 years ago, Baizhi Xiancheng was in danger of being destroyed by the ghost tide, so it asked Wanxiang Sect for help."

"It happened to be the Feiyun Conference that year, so I followed Senior Sister Meng here. After a lot of dangers, I successfully helped Baizhi Xiancheng survive the crisis of destruction."

"Senior Sister Meng is extremely powerful. At that time, the Lord of Baizhi City was also in a very bad state. It was almost Sister Meng who turned the tide alone and eventually changed the entire situation."

When Wen Runyu said this, a look of admiration appeared on her face.

"Feiyun Conference?" Ning Zhuo secretly noted this and said in a slightly hurried tone, "Oh? Such a hero is indeed admirable. May I ask for his full name?"

Wen Ruanyu: "Senior Sister Meng Yaoyin."

Ning Zhuo fell into silence for a moment, and his heart seemed to be hit hard!He gritted his teeth secretly, trying to suppress his slightly trembling breath, and said as calmly as possible: "I see. Since she is a hero who saved the day, it's no wonder that a statue of her was erected in Baizhi Xiancheng to commemorate her."

Wen Ruanyu smiled slightly: "I have contributed to this matter."

"Back then, Baizhi Immortal City was attacked by a wave of ghosts, and half of the city fell. In order to recover the lost land in the south of the city, Senior Sister Meng and the Lord of Baizhi City went into seclusion for seven days and seven nights without sleep, discussing the relevant formations."

"Afterwards, she personally led us back here and set up a formation. We followed her and fought bloody battles for three days and three nights. We finally secured the formation and connected it to the foundation of the Immortal City, merging it with the original formation of the Immortal City."

"After crossing the ghost tide, Senior Sister Meng made multiple arrangements before leaving this place. She left the giant talisman paper statue she made in the Immortal City behind to serve as the center of this formation."

"I followed her instructions and took care of various affairs in the city. Because everyone in the city was grateful to Senior Sister Meng, I suddenly had an idea and proposed to make the talisman paper statue look like Senior Sister Meng. This matter easily gained widespread support and was soon accomplished."

Ning Zhuo took a deep breath and fell into a state of reverie. He said tentatively, "This giant talisman paper statue must be very powerful. Senior Meng... actually took the initiative to keep it. Such a noble character is admirable."

"My Senior Sister Meng is more than just a person of high moral character!" Wen Runyu shook his head. The more he mentioned Meng Yaoyin, a glow burst out from the depths of his heart, and he felt proud.

"You don't know how dangerous it was when we were fighting against the ghost tide."

"There were several times when the city was breached and the situation was precarious. In order to overcome the difficulties, Senior Sister Meng even consumed her own life and released forbidden techniques to save the situation."

"What? Consume your own life span?!" Ning Zhuo couldn't help it finally. His tone changed and his eyes narrowed, trying his best to hide his gradually dangerous look.

"Yes." Wen Runyu was immersed in her own memories and did not notice Ning Zhuo's abnormality.

He continued, "It was Sister Meng's great dedication and sacrifice that ultimately saved the entire White Paper Immortal City. So, even though Sister Meng majored in mechanical arts, I always think that she is more suitable for Confucian practice. The tenet of Confucianism is benevolence. Sister Meng's benevolence is not a small benevolence, but a great benevolence. She is willing to sacrifice herself for the lives of the entire White Paper Immortal City!"

Ning Zhuo gritted his teeth, his eyes reddened: "Senior Meng is so kind to the world. Although this is the first time I've heard of her, I don't know why, but I feel from the bottom of my heart that she is the kind person who can do such a thing."

Wen Ruanyu nodded repeatedly: "Senior Sister Meng is not only extremely powerful, brave, resourceful, and kind, but also has extraordinary foresight."

"Jiao Ma, I don't know if it's appropriate to call you that, but you must be a newcomer here."

Ning Zhu's heart moved, realizing that he had just captured three Jindan ghost generals alive with his own strength, which made Wen Runyu seriously doubt his own identity.

Ning Zhuo had no intention of revealing his true identity.

Now, there are only two people in Baizhi Immortal City who know his true identity.

Because of the two ghosts of heaven and earth, Ning Zhuo did not want to reveal his true identity.

Wen Ruanyu did not dwell on this point, but continued: "So, you don't know that the arrangement that Senior Sister Meng left in Baizhi Xiancheng has profoundly changed the pattern of this city and has protected it many times."

"The condition of the Lord of White Paper City is getting worse every year."

"Senior sister left behind many ingenious arrangements, such as setting up an ink pond to educate the citizens, and arranging treasures to attract others to actively participate in the city defense battle. With these, Baizhi Xiancheng survived many subsequent ghost tides smoothly."

"Alas, the condition of the White Paper City Lord is getting worse and worse, which is holding us back. If it were another normal Nascent Soul cultivator, we wouldn't be trapped in this situation now. We even failed to protect Senior Sister's colossus... This is my fault!"

Having said this, Wen Runyu showed a look of deep self-blame.

"Alright." Wen Ruanyu looked around at the mess, her anxiety growing. "Let others fix this. You have made great contributions this time, so you should report back to the city lord and there will be a reward!"

"The city lord's paper clone is still reliable."

At this moment, Sun Lingtong suddenly sent a telepathic message: "Xiaozhuo, be careful."

"Baizhicheng once spent seven days and seven nights in seclusion with your mother to discuss magic arrays and even fought side by side. But when you revealed your identity, she deceived you."

"She gave you three pieces of talisman paper and asked you to go out from the south gate. It's obvious that she was plotting against you."

"There's no need for us to rush here. If we just leave, we can remain invincible."

Ning Zhuo nodded: "Boss, you are right. The Lord of Baizhi City is plotting against me."

He continued to shake his head: "But my mother paid such a huge price to protect this fairy city. As a son, I should do my best to protect her past achievements, right?"

"Of course, if the general situation fails, it will be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. We will withdraw at the first opportunity without hesitation."

"But now, the Lord of White Paper City knows that I am the son of an old friend, and my mother has received such strong recognition from all the citizens of the city. What kind of support will she give me?"

"Let's not talk about the future. I captured these three Jindan-level ghost generals alive for her. There should be an explanation, right?"

"besides……"

"I'm very curious about what treasure my mother has arranged in the White Paper Fairy City. Whatever it is, I really want to take it back."

Sun Lingtong nodded: "Xiaozhu, you know the severity of this matter better than I do, that's the best."

Before he tried to persuade him, he already knew what choice Ning Zhuo would make.

Since it was his brother's decision, he would of course fully support it.

But at the same time, he also said, "I'm warning you in advance: if you get carried away and act on your emotions in the future, I will force you to come back alive."

Ning Zhuo hummed: "Boss, I understand."

Wen Runyu issued some instructions, asking the monks present to repair the place, and she immediately returned to the City Lord's Mansion with Ning Zhuo.

They came straight to the inner hall without any obstruction.

Wen Ruonyu said to Ning Zhuo, "I will go in and report first. You stay here and don't move. I will summon you to see me later." Just as she finished speaking, a paper servant opened the door and walked in front of the two of them, bringing the order from the city lord's clone: ​​"Master Wen, please wait a moment. The city lord is summoning Master Jiao Ma alone."

Wen Ruanyu:?

"Then Senior Wen, I will go in first." Ning Zhuo bowed to Wen Ruonyu.

After seeing Ning Zhuo's fighting power, Wen Runyu immediately returned the greeting with a smile.

When Ning Zhuo entered the inner hall, he saw the city lord's paper clone looking at a huge mirror and braiding his long hair.

She rolled up the talisman paper into long thin strips, then stuck them on top of her head, and quickly used her magic power to glue them together tightly.

"Alas! Nowadays, the White Paper Fairy City is in turmoil due to internal and external troubles. I am worried and can't rest peacefully. I have lost a lot of hair these days."

As the paper clone spoke, he turned around and looked at Ning Zhuo: "Little Ning Zhuo, you are worthy of being Meng Yaoyin's son. Just like your mother, you have helped me a lot."

Ning Zhuo frowned slightly, bowed and then said, "The Lord City Lord has made a clever arrangement to let me know what my mother has done."

"I have captured the three Jindan-level ghost generals who came to attack me alive. I have lived up to your trust, sir."

"Also, Lord Wen reminded me that you will definitely give me a large reward."

The paper clone was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly: "You are a little different from your mother in this respect. However, I admire your frankness and straightforwardness."

"Xiao Wen is right. I will definitely reward you greatly."

"But before that, I still have many secrets that I need to tell you."

"The ghost tide surges and the white paper is in danger, a lone wild goose holds a candle and breaks through the sky curtain. The guest star should shine on the north of Wenshu, the lights of all things will be bright and the catastrophe will be destroyed... This prophetic poem was written by Sangle Youling before his death."

"I think this poem is most likely about you."

"Xiao Ningzhuo, you may very well be the savior of our city. Just like your mother was the savior of Baizhi Fairy City more than 30 years ago!"

The paper clone stopped talking on its own initiative and made time for Ning Zhuo to receive and react.

Ning Zhuo's mind seemed to explode slightly, and he blurted out: "No wonder Lord Wen took Yang Weida away alone before."

After a pause, Ning Zhuo said, "From the bottom of my heart, I certainly don't want my mother's efforts and hard work in Baizhi Immortal City to go to waste."

"But if you want me to make a move, you have to negotiate the price."

“And I don’t guarantee the final result, so I won’t sign any contract.”

"According to my thinking, I would rather see that the savior in this poem is not me, but someone else."

The paper clone raised his head and laughed three times, then waved his sleeves and said proudly, "That's easy to say."

"I see that you are young, but your cultivation is superb. You have reached the middle and late stages of foundation building. Your essence, energy and spirit are all full, and you are not inferior to the excellent true disciples of those big sects."

"I also see that your body has a deep foundation, is smooth and accommodating, and fits in with the heaven and earth. I can imagine that a lot of resources must have been invested in it, which is very rare."

"Only your soul is relatively shallow. So at first glance, I saw the true soul and concluded that you were not Jiao Ma. I also unexpectedly discovered that you look quite similar to Meng Yaoyin."

"And the most abundant thing in my White Paper Immortal City is soul cultivators."

"A place's water and soil nurtures a place's cultivators. Your coming here is the savior of my White Paper Immortal City and my opportunity. Likewise, it is also an opportunity for you to cultivate your cultivation."

The white paper clone immediately took out four treasures.

One is the "Book of Punishment in the Underworld", one is the Cold Bone Moon Dew Wine, one is the Nine Springs Benzoin, and the last one is a Hungry Ghost Backlash Cauldron.

"You captured three golden elixir ghost generals alive. This cold bone moon dew wine is your reward."

"The remaining three items are considered advance payments to you."

"This jade slip records the detailed usage."

"These treasures are all at the Nascent Soul level, without exception. Even in the Soul Devouring Sect, they are all top-notch treasures."

Ning Zhuo agrees with the value judgment of the white paper clone.

Ning Zhuo "seized" almost all the wealth of Tian Gui, one of the two ghosts of heaven and earth. Among them were a large number of jade slips, which recorded a lot of secret information about soul cultivators, ghost cultivators and the Soul-Devouring Sect itself, which were priceless.

Therefore, Ning Zhuo was very surprised. He did not expect the Lord of White Paper City to be so generous. This reward was much more generous than he expected.

In fact, the amount of Han Gu Yue Lu wine alone far exceeded Ning Zhuo's expectations.

"I will use most of this wine and leave some for Brother Linghu when I return to Wanyao Sect. He will definitely like it."

When the Lord of Baizhi City saw Ning Zhuo taking over the four treasures, he sighed and said, "Back then, I promised to give your mother the position of deputy city lord."

"But in the end, your mother refused."

"Xiao Ningzhuo, if you are really the savior of this city, then my promise in the past is still valid!"

"You will be the deputy city lord of Baizhi Xiancheng."

Ning Zhuo was stunned again, then bowed and asked how many deputy city lords there were in Baizhi Immortal City.

White Paper Clone: ​​"Not yet, very few are established. If you can succeed, you will be the only deputy city lord. Don't worry, your freedom will not be restricted. You can be away from the city for a long time. You will have a share of all the outputs of White Paper Fairy City."

This time, even Sun Lingtong was a little surprised.

With such status and benefits, he is second only to one person and above everyone else.

Sun Lingtong accepted it, feeling worried, and sent a message to Ning Zhuo: "Xiao Zhuo, this paper girl asked such a high price, I'm afraid her body is in a very bad condition."

Ning Zhuo nodded in his heart and analyzed: "On the one hand, the situation is not good. The prophecy poem prompted her to place a heavy bet on me. On the other hand, my mother has paid so much, and she was upright and upright back then, and she refused a lot. Therefore, her reward this time fell on me."

"I'm asking my mother to stay here for a favor."

Ning Zhuo decided to help, but he also told the Lord of Baizhi City that he should try his best to keep Jiao Ma's identity and not tell anyone else.

The Lord of White Paper City agreed: "Now, Sangle Youling is dead. The greatest danger to White Paper Fairy City lies within the city. Xiao Ningzhuo, I have seen that you are quick-witted and calm in times of danger. When you were slandered before, you were able to quickly think of a way to prove yourself. This shows that you have a talent for investigating cases."

"Please find out the identity of the traitor in the city. If you can find him, you will be rewarded!"
