Chapter 245: Sinking Fish and Falling Geese
The empty kingdom of God floated with shredded golden light.
Massive sparks like temples flowed with magma, slowly rising and falling in the air.
Ning Chang was wearing a broken red wedding dress, Shura's golden light had already returned to his flesh and blood, his face was pale, and there were blood stains on the corners of his mouth that had not been erased, and he was as thin as a scholar.
He parted the long hair that had fallen to the girl's cheeks, stretched out his soft sleeves and wiped her dirty cheeks.
Zhao Xiang'er's body curled up in pain, the previous world was shattered, and the follow-up strength was not enough to support her to maintain the realm of the five realms, so she was not lightly injured in the white cat's desperate blow.
And the moment the world was shattered, Ning Changjiu, who had been waiting for a long time, instantly locked on the two figures, covered them with a golden crow, and incorporated them into his world one after the other.
This is his incomplete kingdom.
The Fish King slowly got up.
Its fur was half scorched, and it knew that, as the old fish had said, it was about to return to the destiny common to all living beings.
In this world, the cages are one after the other, and when they get out of what they think they are, what they see is only a broader cage. What the living beings do is either accept it, or continue to break through to the wider world until it completely hits a wall.
Heaven and earth are endless, and even the wisest of the wise cannot imagine their boundaries.
The boy also stood up with her in his arms.
The Fish King looked at him.
Ning Chang's wedding dress and dark hair, the soft lines of his face gradually became hard in the golden light, as sharp as a blade, at this moment his hair was scattered like a handsome red-clothed ghost in hell, but with the meaning of Xiao Suoluotuo, he looked like this, obviously should be smelted by this golden kingdom of God, but he was the master of this place.
"What's your name?" asked the Fish King, clutching his chest and coughing.
"Rather long-lasting. The boy looked up.
His pupils were golden.
At this moment, the Fish King felt a terrifying coercion and anger from the entire world.
That demon-like temperament suddenly dissipated the moment he raised his head, and at this moment, his appearance seemed to be a god who had guarded this ruined kingdom of God for thousands of years, and what was hidden in those eyes was the light that had been lonely for all generations.
The Fish King looked at him and slowly recovered from the shock: "Good name, and good luck to you." ”
Ning Changjiu asked, "Why did Bai Zang target Suzaku?"
The Fish King sneered and said, "I'm only a few ways, how do I know this?"
Ning Chang asked, "Who is that saint?"
The Fish King said: "I haven't seen it, but I know that he is great and the first to touch the edge of this cage of heaven and earth. Pity...... Even he failed to break it. ”
Ning Changjiu frowned and said, "The edge of the cage?"
The Fish King nodded and said, "I haven't touched it, but I believe that one day, you will see it...... This world may be peaceful now, but the truth behind it is far more cruel than you think. ”
"Is this the world of fate?" Ning Chang asked. He remembered the night.
The king shook his head slightly, it combed its withered hair with its paws, and its expression was full of regret and regret: "How can it be so simple, it is much more cruel than fate, the sage said, only death is the only way for living beings." ”
Every living being has its own innate destiny, but death is the eternal winter of all things.
"Saint...... What else did you say?" Ning asked after thinking about the meaning of that sentence for a long time.
The king of fish thought about it seriously and said, "The saint has said many, many things, but there are very few that can be handed down...... I only vaguely remember him saying that 'the law is for the gods, not for the gods', and if it weren't for him, I would have thought he was a stupid madman. ”
Ning thought about the meaning of this sentence for a long time, and also let out a soft sigh.
"A saint deserves to be a saint. ”
"But still dead. ”
"Dead?"
"We are all fish in the pond, and it is useless to hide in the mud no matter how deep...... "The king of fish remembered the stagnant water that had trapped him for many years.
"All life is originally a fish. Ning Changjiu said suddenly.
This is the history he sees in a cross-section of time.
That was the beginning of life.
"Huh?" the fish king was slightly stunned.
Ning Chang said slowly: "They are all fish...... They don't have a cervical vertebrae, they don't have teeth, they don't understand anything, but when they see land, some fish jump on land, and the fish on land accidentally look up and see the sky, so they jump into the sky. This process lasted for countless years, but this is what living beings do. ”
The King of Fish listened and laughed too.
At one time, it also believed that it could jump out of that sea.
It looked at Ning Changchang and said with a smile: "You're right, why don't you be afraid of the infinite avenue at a young age...... But I'm old, and if you want to kill me, I'm still not going to be killed. ”
"Hmm. Ning Chang replied lightly.
The girl in Ning Chang's arms shrunk even tighter, as if she had a nightmare.
Ning Chang didn't want to wake her up, so its sword was very gentle.
The scales of the world are tilted in his favor.
The king of fish is too seriously injured at the moment.
It let out a cat meow.
It doesn't like its own voice, it's a bit like an old eunuch in the deep palace.
This is the second battle that took place in Tomekoku.
The fire in the sky is like a connected crystal.
There is light everywhere.
The world is so bright that there is not a shadow of it.
Obviously it was so bright, but the king of fish remembered that rainy night.
Ning Changjiu also remembered the night of the full moon.
They glanced at each other, and they both saw their shadows in each other's eyes.
It was a ridiculous, pitying, determined look.
They all vanished.
In the sky, the crumb-like flames dragged out slender tails of flames and kept falling to the ground.
The surface of the dust from the ruins on the earth was burned away, revealing a mirror-like material.
The fire grew brighter and brighter, and the shadow of the golden crow flew back and forth.
Time passes......
The first to land was the king of fish.
It fell to the ground, covered in wounds and dying.
"Hehehe...... "The king of fish fell to the ground, his limbs twitched, and his throat suddenly let out a sharp laugh.
Ning Changjiu also landed again, and his steps were vain.
The battle ended quickly, but dangerously.
This was the first time he had faced a cultivator of the Five Realms head-on.
Ning Chang gently hugged Zhao Xiang'er, but he didn't wake her up.
She also unconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck.
In this battle, not only did she not become a burden, but the strength of Suzaku and the Golden Crow also had a certain fit, and even made him slash out more powerful sword moves.
Tens of thousands of stray fires fell from the sky.
Ning Chang opened the red umbrella.
The drift fire fell on the surface of the umbrella and exploded into small flowers one after another.
Crackle, crackle.
"What are you laughing at?" Ning asked suspiciously, knowing that it was going to die, as he listened to its shrill laughter.
The king of fish did not answer.
It remembered, and it was only at this moment that it finally remembered......
...... year When the old fish jumped on the shore and peeled off its scales, it repented, and it wailed in pain...... It begged to throw it back into the water. But he didn't let go. It crushed the old fish and held its bloodied but still fresh body.
It trembled and sliced open its belly and took out the scroll, and the old fish stared at itself in pain, with anger and hatred.
It turns out that this was the truth of the year.
It always deceived itself and created a beautiful story for itself, telling it to itself every day and night until it believed it.
That's why it's so obsessed with carving out a way for those fish to survive.
He wanted to make this false story complete......
Behind this belief that he himself believes, it turns out to be bloody ugliness and greed.
It's better not to know.
"I'm ...... King of Fish, King of Fish...... Giggle...... Hahahaha...... "The white cat curled up on the ground and laughed wildly.
There is light on all sides, and the darkness in its heart can no longer be hidden.
In the grand light, it laughed wildly, laughed maniacally, and staggered up from the ground.
It made all fours, like a lion, and pounced towards Ning Chang.
Ning Chang stabbed his sword in front of him.
The Fish King pounced on his sword.
The blade stabbed into its chest.
Blood splattered.
"I'm the king of fish...... I'm the king of fish......"
He roared and laughed maniacally.
There are many youkai like it in the world.
They're demons driven crazy.
At the end of its life, it stared at Ning Changjiu and let out a strange roar:
"Kill it! You must kill it! Don't be me...... Don't be me!!"
The king fish's hair stands on end.
It finished its last words.
The demon's pupils were dilated, and the hair that had exploded at the roots became stiff.
The king of fish died like this.
A bead of blood splashed out and landed on Zhao Xiang'er's neck.
It was a red bean left in the snow.
She snorted softly and woke up.
She fell from Ning Chang's arms and landed lightly.
Zhao Xiang'er looked at the corpse of the white cat, was silent for a long time, and said, "Thank you." ”
Ning Changchang smiled and said, "Husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest. ”
"Huh?" Zhao Xiang'er wondered.
Ning Chang said: "We will never have the second half of the sentence." ”
Zhao Xiang'er also smiled: "That's the right time." ”
Ning Chang looked at her who was squatting down in front of the white cat's corpse and asked, "What are you looking for?"
"Demon pill. Zhao Xiang'er said.
Ning Chang handed over the umbrella sword.
Zhao Xiang'er shook her head lightly and said calmly: "It doesn't have a demon pill." ”
"There is no demon pill?" Ning was puzzled for a long time, how could the demon not have a demon pill?
Between the questions, the figure of the white cat turned into dust and dissipated.
There was only one book left on the earth.
It was the secret scroll it took out of the belly of the old fish.
Zhao Xiang'er picked it up.
She didn't look at it, just put it in Ning Changjiu's hand and said softly, "I'm leaving." ”
"I ...... Know. Ning Chang dumped the red umbrella over her head.
Zhao Xiang'er held his hand holding the umbrella.
There is less and less fire on the red umbrella.
The world of the Golden Crow is closed.
In the night sky, Lu Married's sword completely suppressed the seriously injured snow kite.
Although Ning Changjiu's Heavenly Oracle Sword failed to kill her, it also caused irreversible terrifying wounds.
Snow Kite was still desperately resisting, but she knew it was in vain.
After the death of the fish king, she can completely wait for death to come.
The golden crow broke through the night, and the light shone through the snow kite's eyebrows.
Snow Kite squinted in the bright light, and she looked at Zhao Xiang'er.
"Kingdom of God...... Back...... I...... May the Faithful ......"
Her words were staccato and almost pleading.
Zhao Xiang'er looked indifferent and didn't say anything.
Ning Chang held the sword and pierced through her body.
The wind and snow are silent.
Two feathers fell.
One of the two feathers was as white as ice, and the other was as golden as thunder and lightning.
Zhao Xiang'er swept over and held them in his hands.
The snow kite also turned into a feather.
"I did. Ning Changjiu said suddenly.
"Well, you've won our agreement once and for all. Thank you...... and Sister Lu. Zhao Xiang'er looked at them, she put the two feathers in the palm of her hand, and after standing still, she was deeply blessed.
Lu married a weak smile and gave a slight salute.
Ning Changjiu smiled: "That's not what I'm talking about. ”
"Huh?" Zhao Xiang'er wondered.
"Remember when we just woke up in the Imperial City. Ning Changjiu smiled while reminiscing: "At that time, we were cooking medicine while getting married, and we were talking on the bed, and you joked at the time that I was so smart that I had the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose." ”*
Breathtaking beauty......
Zhao Xiang'er looked at the dead king of fish and the feathered snow kite, and smiled after being slightly stunned.
At that time, it was a joke they laughed at each other.
In a word, it is a prophecy.
"You really remember everything. Zhao Xiang'er said.
Ning Changchang smiled: "What you said to mock me, I have recorded it in my account." ”
Zhao Xiang'er looked at his clothes and said with a smile: "Yes, Ning Daochang is not only getting more and more sunk, but also getting more and more powerful." ”
"Ning Daochang, such a rusty, should be punished. Ning Chang said.
"How does the husband want to punish me?" Zhao Xiang'er smiled.
"Don't forget me. ”
"Good. ”
She answered.
There was a fire in the sky.
The night sky is like a sea of fire.
Suzaku came in the shadow.
"Sister Lu. Zhao Xiang'er suddenly spoke.
"Huh?" Lu married with gentle eyebrows.
Zhao Xiang'er hesitated and said, "Hmm...... There is one thing...... I've always wanted to do it. ”
"What's the matter?" asked Lu Married.
Zhao Xiang'er approached her, leaned down a little, and then leaned forward suddenly, burying her head in the towering and angry softness.
Lu Yao's cheeks were slightly red, and she looked at Ning Changjiu a little confused.
Ning Chang looked at them tenderly.
Behind them, the shadow of the sparrow came, and the flames burned into the air.
The firmament is as bright as day.
......
