Chapter 13. The sky is in the dark
Nie Xiaofeng hurried to the outside of Xiaoci Xuan, only to see that there was silence in Nie Meiniang's En Pavilion, Fan Qing'er was guarding in front of the corridor outside the Xuan, and when she saw her coming, she bit her lip and stepped forward and said softly: "Lord Yue... Your dad is in there. ”
Nie Xiaofeng's face was not good, and he took his sword all the way into the Xuan, and saw that Nie Meiniang had got up and sat on the incense couch in the main hall, two columns of immortal maids stood aside, and there was a Yue Linwei who was tied up with five flowers kneeling in the hall.
Nie Xiaofeng stepped forward, stood beside her mother, and looked at the people in the hall condescendingly. Nie Meiniang took the flower and fruit fragrant tea handed by the maid, and the fingers that uncovered the tea cup trembled, she put the cup to her lips for a long time, her hands trembled more and more, and she simply snorted and threw the tea cup aside.
The room was full of tea fragrance, Nie Meiniang straightened up from the couch, pointed to the tip of the nose of the people in the hall and scolded: "Juesheng! After so many years, do you know what I hate about you the most? Back then, you couldn't give up the people in the temple, and refused to fly away with me and Xiaofeng, I don't blame you, you abolished my martial arts, so that Shi Moudun had a chance to take my life, I don't blame you, but you shouldn't have entrusted our daughter to Luo Xuan's brute! Do you know what he did to Xiaofeng? Do you care? In the long world for twenty-five years, why do you never keep your eyes open, why don't you never take a look and take care of our daughter?!"
Nie Xiaofeng took a deep breath and moved his gaze to the side.
Nie Meiniang jumped up from the couch suddenly, took a few steps down the hall, grabbed Juesheng's front placket, and burst into tears in an instant: "You are a father in vain, a Zen monk in vain, a Buddha in vain, and a family in vain! In your life, you want to take care of everything, but you don't even have time to protect your own flesh and blood, what do I want you to do? What does Xiaofeng want you to do? Where did you come from, go back!"
Her last voice grew cold, and she pushed Juesheng away. Jue Sheng sat on his knees in a dejected manner, his eyes were red, the wide Yue Lin sweatshirt was put on his empty skeleton, it looked extremely incongruous, he looked at Nie Meiniang's back, and said hoarsely:
"Mei Niang, Xiaofeng, I know that I am not a competent father! If it weren't for Xia Yuan being banned for a thousand years, I would have found the two of you a long time ago, when I was in the world, I looked up and didn't hear about the things in the world, and what I knew and saw, I only had one Luo Xuan, who entrusted Xiaofeng to him back then, so many things happened later, I never got to the bottom of it, I didn't try to communicate with Xiaofeng to collect evidence, and I never suspected Luo Xuan, everything was my misheard and misbelief, and I misunderstood the Buddha's truth! It wasn't until a thousand years ago, when I heard that Luo Xuan was thrown into the Blood Pool Prison by Buddha for killing his mother and father, that I realized what a terrible mistake I made back then!"
There was a very slight crackling sound from the ginkgo tree outside the hall, as if a branch was broken, Fan Qing'er looked out, saw no clues, and contemplated the hall.
"All the faults are made by me, I can't complain about others, Mei Niang, I came today to apologize to you and Xiaofeng! I am unbearable for my husband and unrighteous for my father, this life is what I owe to your mother and daughter, Mei Niang, you can kill me!" Jue Sheng fell to the ground and kowtowed heavily to Nie Meiniang.
Cixiao Xuan was silent for a while, Fan Qing'er secretly bit her lip for a while, suddenly turned around and knelt in front of the hall, and said: "Mother-in-law, father-in-law, listen to me! Qing'er's parents died when she was a child, and she and her younger brother passed away, and she tasted the pain of being an orphan. Now that Lord Yue is about to become the prime minister of the underworld, if he drives Lord Yue's father out of the house at this time, he is afraid that he will be truthful, making people think that Lord Yue is not filial piety. If you know the inside story, you are afraid that the three gangs and four factions left over from the world will find an opportunity to make trouble and use the master's thing to damage the reputation of the left minister, not to mention, the position of the left minister is the parents of the underworld, if the people see that the left minister himself is also a parent, and he will have more confidence in the grace of the left minister. According to Qing'er's opinion, the appearance of Master Juesheng at this time is actually a good thing for Lord Yue to establish an official appearance in the underworld!"
Nie Xiaofeng's heart moved slightly, it was undeniable that Fan Qing'er said it into her heart. When she was a child, she didn't fantasize about what her father looked like, and in the days when she lived in seclusion with her mother in the back mountains of Shaolin, she didn't look forward to the day when she could be held by her father on her shoulder, pointing here and there like an ordinary girl, and picking sugar cakes all over the street.
She thought that she had ordered to ban Xia Yuan for a thousand years, but Juesheng never went to reincarnation, and the returning underworld pawn also said that every time he caught him, he always ran away, it seems that he is really hard-hearted, and he must see his mother before he stops.
Nie Xiaofeng looked at the Xiaoci Xuan, there are many people at the moment, and there are many immortal officials and immortal eunuchs who were temporarily transferred from Yue Feigong to guard and dispatch, and the fact that he ordered his biological father to be imprisoned in Xiayuan for a thousand years is indeed not good to expose here, if she investigates deeply, it may not be good for her and Nie Meiniang, and at the moment, her mind changed, and she followed Fan Qing'er's words and said to Nie Meiniang:
"Mother, it's too late today, why don't you leave him first, and then I will enter the Underworld City tomorrow to meet Cao Jun, and then come to discuss with my mother how to deal with this person, okay?"
Although Nie Meiniang looked tired, she nodded without hesitation, as if she was waiting for this, Nie Xiaofeng said to Fan Qing'er: "Take him down and set up a side pavilion to settle down." ”

Luo Xuan returned to the inn in the imperial capital Xiabu Market alone, and lay on the bed in kimono, staring at the yellowed eaves in the wing room in a daze. After the three incense sticks, Zhan Xiaoer came up to deliver hot water from room to room as usual, and the voices in the corridor outside the room became louder and lively.
Luo Xuan took out a pink cherry blossom from his arms, sniffed it carefully, the fragrance of the cherry blossoms was extremely strong, and the room was instantly overflowed with an inappropriate plain fragrance.
He remembered the scene of Nie Xiaofeng hiding barefoot from the cherry blossom phoenix on the eaves of the Lankui Hall in the moonlight, thinking about it, the corners of his mouth gradually opened, and he fell asleep with a smile.
Suddenly awakened by a loud roar in his dream, Luo Xuan opened his eyes and saw that he was floating above the vast galaxy, looking around, the entire universe had turned into a sea of red and golden majestic fire, countless stars were melting and falling from the high and boundless upper heavenly realm, and in the distance, a large and endless dark dome was slowly approaching from the direction of Xingye.
There was a roar under his feet, and he looked down to see that the nine worlds were collapsing layer by layer, and all the mountains, seas, and nine continents, fairylands, gods, and Buddhas in the world were all turned to ashes.
He was shocked and wanted to leave, but found that his body was like a star nailed into the universe, and he couldn't move at all. The cave was still far away, but he could smell the most primitive aura of destruction in the universe emanating from it.
The dome is approaching step by step, only to see three clusters of golden light Buddha Cao side by side in front of the huge black hole, the Buddha Hua soars in a row, dazzling thousands of miles, desperately resisting the advance of the black hole, the black hole floats with dark rock blocks and red magma, the Buddha Cao Guanghua high in front of this huge black hole, so small that it is like three fine gold chips floating in the universe.
"Jing Yu, you must keep the Hengsha Heavenly Couple, this is the last lifeline of the Nine Realms!"
He looked down into his hands, and saw two rays of white light tangled together like hair, suspended in his palm, moving faintly.
A strong light swept in, throwing him vigorously out of the dome, and the entire universe spun rapidly in front of him, "Emperor Buddha!" Luo Xuan heard himself shouting, but it was not his voice.
Luo Xuan opened his eyes suddenly, only to see that the window had not been closed all night, the morning wind was blowing, and the sky in the distance had just appeared white. In the early morning of the next port, even the barking of dogs in the deep alleys seemed particularly clear, but I didn't know how I could have such a strange dream.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nie Xiaofeng and Yue Fei respectively got down, and glided side by side along the Baili Imperial Road in front of the gate of the Shenxiao Imperial City.
Right Prime Minister Tan Xiaosheng, Emperor Xuanyuan and Governor Wu Qi are all waiting in the hall to wait for the two of them.
Nie Xiaofeng crossed the crowd, slowly approached, and knelt down in front of the vast sky on the imperial luan, and the left phase of the brocade silk was spread out to both sides, and the guan guan fell, like a sheng lotus.
She bowed down, and her mouth was quiet: "Prime Minister Nie Xiaofeng, meet Cao Jun." ”
Kuang Yitian closed the notebook in his hand, carefully looked at Nie Xiaofeng of His Royal Highness, the night pearl of the Red Sea on the crown of the left prime minister was emitting a luxurious and clear brilliance with her ups and downs, and Kuang Yitian smiled and said to the left and right:
"Look at this crown, since the first year of Qiankun, 5,316 people have worn it, but there is a phase that can get such a brilliance now?"
The ministers have looked at it, since Nie Xiaofeng entered the palace, there has been an unprecedented night light in the hall of death, it is from her neck of the Red Sea night pearl, this pearl since ancient times because of people, according to the talent, the level of qualification to show its night bright brilliance, the brightest time can compete for a long day, the darkest time can not appear in the night, now on Nie Xiaofeng's neck, its blooming grand essence, is unprecedented for the ministers.
"Congratulations to Nie Xiang, congratulations to Nie Xiang, this is my blessing!" The courtiers held up the rank cards in their hands and bowed to Nie Xiaofeng, Yue Fei, Tan Xiaosheng, and Xuanyuan were all in the column, Nie Xiaofeng bowed in return, and the military governor Wu Qi looked sideways at the ministers, motionless.
"Today, when the left minister is approaching the court, the widow still has a major event to inform the ministers, and the Yiyuan Cao Hao respects three million Qiyin soldiers to commit another crime in the underworld, and I think the secretaries have heard of it. And his purpose this time, but in order to seize the Qiankun steel in the field of divine warfare, it is a pity that the Qiankun steel has been stolen by a wild Buddha, I would have punished him at the bottom of the three plains to be worthy of the sun, but a few days ago, he was retribution, this evil Buddha, has escaped from the underworld. ”
Nie Xiaofeng was shocked when she heard this, she raised her head to meet the eyes of the heavens, looked at her with deep eyes, and said calmly: "Gu has issued a wanted warrant in the Three Frontiers, and has notified the Nine Realms of Qiankun to pursue him unifiedly. From today onwards, all the secretaries of state and all military planes must take strict precautions, and if there are any clues, they must report to them immediately, and they must not slack off on the enemy. ”
The ministers prostrate on the ground and receive orders in unison.
When he retreated from the court, the former prince of the Immortal Throne came to Nie Xiaofeng's side: "Nie Xiang, please stay, and the Emperor will pass you to the palace to see you." ”
Nie Xiaofeng, Xuanyuan and Tan Xiaosheng were led to the Changle Palace in the side hall together, Kuang Yitian was carrying a large dragon hair pen, and drew up and down in the hanging Wuji diagram, where his pen pointed, where the Wuji diagram would be lit, half a cup of tea, he shook his head again and again, and said to the ministers:
"The spirituality of the Wuji Diagram has been deteriorating in recent days, and it is impossible to find out the status of the tens of millions of reincarnation books, nor the whereabouts of the Molten Luo Xuan. Jizun, Xiaofeng, how prepared are you for the fact that the Oligogod asked your master and apprentice to go to the world to investigate the lost reincarnation book?"
Xuanyuan hugged his sleeves and said: "It has been prepared, just wait for the small... As soon as the ceremony is over, we can leave. ”
Kuang Yitian said: "Don't be busy, let Xiaofeng solve the blood curse of the god of death first tonight, and everything can be discussed in the long run." ”
Xuanyuan and Nie Xiaofeng were surprised at the same time: "Tonight?"
"The recovering of the Book of Reincarnation is imminent, and it is imperative that you set off as soon as possible. ”
Nie Xiaofeng's eyebrows moved, and he said, "Can you tell Xiaofeng that you are the appointed candidate for the spell solution... Who is it?"
Kuang Yitian fixed his body, and said: "It is the Yuefu sword servant who leaked the secret of Qiankun Steel to Molten Luo Xuan." ”
Nie Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "But... I don't know this person, I don't have any feelings, can this work?"
Kuang Yitian smiled slightly: "As long as the gods make a simple Hehuan promise, you can go on a blind date and enjoy each other, and the sky will be bright all night." I have spoken to him that he was sentenced to death for leaking the Steel, and that he knew that his sin was unforgivable, and that he was willing to give you his life to undo the curse before he was executed. Left Phase, everything is focused on the overall situation. ”
He turned around and instructed the right minister: "Xiaosheng, you can arrange it." ”
Tan Xiaosheng took the order and left, and said to Nie Xiaofeng and the others: "After tonight, you and Qizun will go to the world, during which all the affairs of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion will be handed over to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to take care of for the time being, I will always pay attention to your situation, go!"
