The two chatted a few more words, Ning Jiang got up to say goodbye, and took his sister to the lake. Behind them, the woman in Lingyun's bun plucked the strings lightly, and the sound of the piano spread melodiously under the bright moon and among the mountains, like a dream, as if the brocade was spread out under their feet, which was a wonderful and incredible feeling......

……

***

Qi Meng......

The night was dark, and the stars were looming.

Ning Jiang stood in the courtyard and looked up at the moon in the sky.

Unexpectedly...... So soon, I will meet her here.

In the previous life, when I met her in the depths of the snowy mountains, she was already in her thirties, nearly forty years old, right?

Despite this, her beauty is still like the bright moon in the sky, with a graceful face. When I first met her, she was playing the yaoqin in the stone pavilion, as if she were in a painting.

He spent more than three months with her in the depths of the snowy mountains, and finally left her. At that time, the sound of her piano, behind him, was as sad as a lonely goose.

He knew she was crying, but he couldn't help but leave, because if he stayed, he wouldn't be able to leave. However, he must move forward, shatter the void, return to the past, even if the road ahead is lost, even if he can no longer find any way out, even if he falls into the boundless darkness, he must go on.

Fifty-six years have passed, and I don't know how many days and nights.

In order not to forget the pain in his heart and the hatred in his heart, every night, he will constantly recall the relationship with his sister when he was a child.

Saving his sister was his lifelong pursuit in his previous life, and it was the only goal he would never allow himself to give up.

He won't let anyone drag him down, even if that person is ...... Qi Meng.

Even, year after year, he cut wounds on his legs, and 56 scars, representing his 56 years of torture and heartache.

Only that woman, the woman who was as gentle as water, but lonely as snow, was the only dream that almost stopped him in those fifty-six years, and finally passed by in a hurry.

He came to the stone table in the courtyard, sat on the stone bench, spread out a piece of Shu paper, dipped it in ink, and waved it on the paper by the moonlight.

Putting down the brush, he picked up the Shu note on which the poem was written, and let out a long sigh.

"Brother!" A voice suddenly sounded behind him, startling him.

He turned his head suddenly, and a pretty face appeared in front of him. He coughed lightly: "Little Dream ......"

At this moment, Xiaomeng is wearing a loose dress, revealing a white pink neck, delicate and small collarbones, slightly bent over, and the cute jade rabbit is shaking gently in the placket, obviously Fang got up from the couch, without a chest pocket inside, and the well-proportioned little feet stepped on the grass in the eyes, and the skirt fluttered lightly.

Because he frightened his brother, the sound of grinning echoed in the courtyard.

"Brother," Xiaomeng bent over and looked at his brother sideways, "Are you thinking about that sister by the lake?" ”

Unexpectedly, even such a simple sister could see her thoughts, Ning Jiang was a little embarrassed for a while, and quickly stood up and said, "Nonsense......"

Xiaomeng straightened up and looked up at his brother's face: "Xiaomeng can see that my brother likes that sister." ”

"What nonsense?" Ning Jiang grabbed her hair hard, "It's only the first time I've met her, how can I like people?" Don't talk nonsense, go to sleep. ”

Xiaomeng clasped his hands in front of his chest: "Is this love at first sight?" ”

"Bell your head!" Ning Jiang said, "Go to sleep!" ”

Not wanting to talk to her about it anymore, he turned around and walked towards his house...... Like it, or don't like it, so what?

In the previous life, I hurt her deeply, and I left her like that, this time, how can I have the face to go to her?

- "I'm an ominous woman, no matter what's for me...... Or ...... to others"

In her previous life, she said this to him...... But, Qimeng, perhaps, you are really an ominous person, but meet me...... It's your misfortune, isn't it?

How can I tolerate myself...... Hurt that kind of you again?

Xiaomeng looked back, looked at her brother who was obviously uneasy, turned her head again, looked at the Shu note on the table, and gently took two steps forward, she pinched the Shu note with her slender fingers, looked at the poems on it in the moonlight, and then pursed her lips and smiled...... My brother likes that sister.

In the middle of Tongzhou, along the Xiechuan River that runs through the entire Tongzhou City, a luxurious mansion is quiet at night.

A carriage stopped in the backyard of the mansion, the maid carrying the palace lamp opened the curtain, and the veiled woman in Lingyun's bun got out of the carriage gently, holding the delicate Yaoqin in her arms.

The servant guarding the door opened the door a little, bowed down and said something, and the woman nodded lightly and entered the garden.

At the same time, at the main entrance of the mansion, two guards guarded the open door, and in the main hall inside, a man in brocade robe sat on a large purple lacquer chair, listening to the words of someone below. The man bowed to the ground and spoke in a low voice, and the king of brocade asked a few words from time to time, and finally frowned: "Zhao Zhutou, according to what you sued, you actually have no conclusive evidence to prove that Cao Zhixian was indeed harmed by the person you said." ”

The head catcher who bowed down below said: "Lord Cao has the grace of knowing a certain person, if he is still alive, a certain person will find him no matter what, and if he is dead, a certain person will seek justice for him." If the prince doesn't believe in so-and-so, there is a way, and he will be able to find out the flaws of that guy. ”

The king of brocade said: "You can tell me and listen to it!" ”

The catcher fell to the ground and whispered.

As the night deepened, the woman in the back garden put down the yaoqin in her boudoir, sat down on the qin, and couldn't help but think of the young man she met by the lake, and the poetry like a chongdoufu

- "Ninety thousand miles of wind is rising, the wind is resting, and the boat is blowing the three mountains!" ”

Her onion-like fingers were plucking the strings.

The night in Tongzhou City was as calm as ever, but something was quietly brewing in the dark.

And Yue Lake, which is far away from Tongzhou City, has already rolled up huge waves.

……

***

The town next to the Yue Lake is quiet, only the cicadas of the summer night are ringing at a fixed frequency.

A big man staggered, came out of the house, stood under the plane tree, unbuttoned his pants against the roots, and was about to release the pressure in his body, when a faint light fell from above. He looked up in confusion, and then his eyes widened, and a huge fireball, like a falling golden crow, fell from the dim sky.

The brilliant light grew brighter and brighter in his eyes until it covered the whole town, and the whistling trills filled the heavens and the earth, and the big man rushed into the house, yelling and screaming at his mother-in-law, picking up the baby on the bed, and trying to escape from the town with his wife and son. Several windows opened, and someone leaned out of the window, looking up in surprise at the white light that was falling down.

Suddenly, the eaves flew, the earth cracked, the roar of death echoed on the earth, and the blazing light lit up the entire Yue Lake, and then, the lake water swept wildly, pouring into the ground. The earth shook, and one by one the plane trees were uprooted, scattered, and reduced to ashes in the blazing light.

When the prefect Dianhong and the county guard Wan Yikang arrived with a large team, the whole town had turned into a big pit, the lake water continued to pour into the pit, and the water level of the Qianchao River dropped rapidly. Everyone, stunned as they looked at the amazing pit, their scalps tingled, and they couldn't speak.

Suddenly, the turbulent water of the lake broke, and something, step by step, walked out of the lake.

That's a monster...... Everyone gasped.

Out of the pit was a huge, swarthy monster with horns on its forehead and muscles like pieces of iron.

Although there are always many legends about monsters among the people, in fact, no one has really seen monsters, but at this moment, even Dian Hong and Wan Yikang can't help but have thoughts flashing in their minds at the same time...... Monster?

When the monster saw them, he roared and fled to the other side.

"Catch him!" Wan Yikang shouted.

Several catchers rushed up, a long chain to the monster, the monster rushed towards them, bang

With a pounce, a catcher was caught by the monster and torn in half.

Dian Hong's eyebrows and ancestors Wenqu Yinfu bloomed with a literary atmosphere, more than a dozen soldiers rushed forward, with the help of the prefect's official authority, the momentum rose sharply, even if it was an ordinary soldier, at this moment, it was also powerful enough to be able to split the earth and break the wood, however, the sharp blade, the sharp tip of the spear, stabbed at the monster's body, it could only leave a shallow white mark on him, and the monster's dark body was invulnerable.

The monster roared and snatched a simple knife, slashing angrily in the crowd, slashing left and right, blood splashing, and it killed five people at a very fast speed.

What kind of monster is this? The people were astonished and angry.

Wan Yikang shouted, suddenly took out the sword, bang, the sword light was like a swimming dragon, stabbed on the monster's black iron-like body, the sword body quickly curled, and the monster was shocked back a few feet. Immediately after that, the sword blade trembled, as if turning into seven rays of light, bang bang, with uncontrollable power, hitting all parts of the monster, it was his family swordsmanship "Begonia Seven Kills".

Wan Yikang was originally born in Wuzhuangyuan, although the Great Zhou Dynasty emphasized literature and light martial arts, but he was able to stand out among many martial artists, and his skills naturally went without saying. He stepped on footwork, the sword light wandered, and with the help of Dian Hong's literary spirit as a jinshi, his power doubled. The monster never died, leaving only white marks on its body at most.

On the original pitch-black body, the white marks were shocking to see, and they felt weird and inexplicable.

Suddenly, the monster relied on its body so strong that even a sword could not hurt it, and rushed towards Wan Yikang desperately. Wan Yikang flashed quickly, threw his sword, grabbed the gun, snatched the spear from the hand of a soldier, stabbed his horse, drank and picked, and the black shadow was thrown up, and smashed to the ground with a bang. The surrounding soldiers had already known the opportunity, and more than a dozen spears suppressed the monster, and more people rushed up, chains, shackles, and layers of binding.

Wan Yikang stepped aside and took a few breaths, but his arm was numb...... The body of this monster is simply harder than pig iron.

Bound by layers of iron cables, the monster struggled constantly, but could not get out. Behind it, the big pit that destroyed the entire town is still turbulent, and the water of Yue Lake is still pouring in. Dian Hong moved forward and glanced at Wan Yikang, his scalp was numb, the two of them had been officials for many years, and they had never encountered such a strange thing.

The iron cage used to imprison the masters of the rivers and lakes was sent from the city and the monster was imprisoned. The monster roared in the iron cage, its blood-colored eyes glowing with ferocity.

The night in Linjiang County is already destined to be uncalm.

Although for the Great Zhou Dynasty, for the world...... And that's just the beginning!!

……

Ning Jiang had a dream, and in the dream, he dreamed of Qi Meng.

After waking up from the dream, he lifted the blanket and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly...... It's a dream!

So much so that he had to go to the backyard early in the morning to take a shower and calm himself.

Although after being reborn, he took saving the world as his mission and had extremely great sentiments, but Ning Jiang had to admit it...... He never really touched a woman.

In his previous life, the day of the crown ceremony suffered an accident and sent Xiling, and then, he turned himself into a machine with the sole goal of rebirth, so that, for a considerable period of time, all the people in the rivers and lakes regarded him as something other than martial arts...... Even women, martial idiots who don't have any interest.

Even in front of Qimeng, he didn't touch her...... Although he knew she was willing.

Except for my sister...... He doesn't need any restraint!

Even if he has been reborn, even if he has rescued his sister, he hopes so.

It's more due to his ...... Selfish!!!

In the process of shattering the void, Ning Jiang once shuttled through the rift between time and space, and he found that this universe was not the only one world.

If, at that time, his purpose was not to be reborn desperately to save his sister, but to swim to another world with all his might, would he be able to jump out of this world, like a frog in a well, jumping out of the well and seeing a wider world? He doesn't know!

He wants to train his sister to be "the number one master in the world", in fact, there is such a purpose, the red face of the three spring trees, the passing years of the shuttle, even if he rescues his sister, one day, his sister will die of old age. However, as long as he helps his sister to cultivate to the "Earth Immortal" like he did in his previous life, then, at least, his sister can also have a lifespan of hundreds of years.

If he takes his sister again, shatters the void, and goes to the wider world......

Some people may ask, since his goal is to help his sister cultivate to the Earth Immortal, and finally break the void with him and go to see other times, then why does he spend energy and waste time to take the top exam here and save the world?

That's because he's afraid, he's afraid he won't...... He will lose his sister!!

[In addition, well, last time, many book friends guessed "The Pride of the Fisherman", which made the stupid bird very frustrated! Now again, who can guess what the verses written by Ning Jiang on the Shu note in this chapter are? Because it is a very famous poem, so I won't prompt it specifically, but I can tell you that it was originally a rhythmic poem, but the stupid bird only used half of it here. 】
