The night is an infinite amount of water, and the spread of the dawn spreads out to drain it little by little, the light shines directly from a distant place, the sparks are diluted, and the regular tiles are lit. When you look at the light, you can see the ridges of the trees that cling to the peaks, which are clearly defined by the sky, and the black clouds undulate.

At dawn, when the world first woke up, the world was half bathed in light and half soaked in shadows.

Ning Changchang walked to the window in white clothes and looked out.

The moon in the sky had faded, leaving only a faint, vague shadow.

Lu Married opened her sleepy eyes, looked at the back of the young man, and suddenly felt a sense of loneliness.

She covered her chest with a brocade quilt, the curve of her back was delicately traced, and the slender shoulders that supported her hair were neatly sliced. She looked at the figure of the young man, and she didn't know what she thought, and the hand holding the brocade quilt was a little harder, and the lines were soft.

"You only slept for an hour and woke up?" Lu said softly, slightly displeased.

Ning Changjiu turned his head slightly, looking at Lu Married Yu's hand to open the curtain, her spiritual eyes were looking at herself, the flames of the night had been left with ashes, so her hair and cheeks were slightly restricted.

Ning Changjiu said apologetically: "I woke you up?"

Lu Wedding smiled and said: "When I woke up from a dream, I found that the person next to the pillow said goodbye without saying goodbye...... It's hard to sleep after so many times. ”

What she ridiculed was that Ning Changjiu took advantage of her sleep to go to the three-year appointment, and said goodbye three months ago without saying goodbye, and when she woke up, the residual temperature on the pillow was cold, only to see Si Ming staring at her with a smile.

Ning Changjiu walked back to the window, sat down, held her hand, and said softly: "If I can, I am willing to sleep with you for thousands of years, when the trees planted at a young age are old, we are still young." ”

Lu married and didn't quite adapt to his words, so he just said: "What ifs? Since I followed you, I have not been quiet and peaceful for a moment." ”

Ning Changchang said with a smile: "It's not that you wanted to repay the favor at the beginning, and you had to accept me as a disciple, this is self-defeating." ”

Lu was slightly annoyed, and immediately thought of that rainy day, when he was still in the realm of longevity, he crashed into the courtyard with his dying breath, like a scarred little beast falling at the hunter's door.

When she woke up, her mask was off, her clothes were changed, and she couldn't protest anything...... Well, this is the root of all evil.

Lu married and said: "Hmph, how could I have thought at that time that there are still apprentices in this world who want to eat the master all day long, with ill intentions, and their hearts should be punished!"

Ning Chang asked, "Master didn't want to eat apprentices in the first place?"

"I don't want to. "Lu marrying is categorical.

Ning Chang said: "Then why is the master waiting for the rabbit by the abyss?"

Lu married and said lightly: "What do I have to do with you, I don't want to be affectionate." ”

Ning Changchang smiled and said, "So I misunderstood the master and dirty the master's innocence?"

If Lu was not dressed yet, he would have to carry a sword and cut it up.

The two fought symbolically on the couch for a while.

The sun is shining outside, and the flowers that have been sleeping all night in the courtyard are beginning to bloom.

"Don't you want to see Si Ming?" Lu asked suddenly as he lay on the floor.

Ning Chang said, "See what she does?"

Lu Marrying asked, "Then what are you doing when you get up so early?" Or should I pretend to be asleep and not drink you?"

Ning Chang said: "It's just ...... Some worries. ”

"What are you worried about?" asked Lu Marry.

Ning thought for a long time and said truthfully: "I saw evil. ”

Lu Marrying was slightly shocked, she wanted to ask where she saw the evil, but thinking that every word she said might be known by some unknowable existence, she didn't ask in detail, but said: "Since this is the case, it saves a lot of trouble." Well...... What's next?"

Ning Chang said: "When Xiaoling's affairs are settled, I will go to Ten Thousand Demon City." ”

"Leaving again?" asked Lu Marriage.

Ning Chang nodded and said, "Knowing the predetermined ending, people should always do something, right?"

Lu married and said, "I'll go with you then." ”

Ning Chang said: "The sword cannot enter the Ten Thousand Demon City. ”

Lu married and said, "Isn't it okay if you don't bring a sword?"

Ning Chang said: "Marriage itself is a sword. ”

Lu Marrying pursed her lips and said, "What should I do then?"

Ning Chang said: "Just don't bring yourself." ”

Lu Marry's eyes were not good, and she said quietly: "Alas, when will such a day of gathering less and leaving more come to an end?"

Ning Chang raised his head and looked at the ceiling, as if looking through it to the higher sky.

"Maybe when I meet the master, I will know many answers. Ning Changchang said.

Lu didn't speak again.

The light outside the window was getting brighter and brighter.

Since the rebirth, many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and these past events have been blurred with a light veil in retrospect, not to mention the previous life that was like a cloud of smoke earlier.

......

"Do you know anything about Ten Thousand Demon City?"

In the Nine Shadows Palace, Si Ming looked at Ning Changchang and asked with a frown.

Since he didn't escape yesterday, Si Ming didn't leave, and planned to stay for Ning Xiaoling, a little traitor, as the last protector.

Ning Changjiu shook his head lightly: "As far as I know, the Ten Thousand Demon City has been closed for many years and isolated from the world, even the most powerful people in Middle-earth should know nothing about the Ten Thousand Demon City." ”

Si Ming said: "Ten Thousand Demon City...... It can be regarded as the last pure land of monsters under the protection of saints. ”

Ning Changchang asked, "Do you know anything about Ten Thousand Demon City?"

"I don't understand. He said, "That catastrophe happened five hundred years ago, and my kingdom died seven hundred years ago. But...... Among those great demons that have survived to this day, there may be existences that I know. ”

Ning thought for a long time and asked tentatively, "How long can the saint survive?"

"You can die at any time. Si Ming said: "When the lord of the kingdom leaves his kingdom, it is like a fish stranded on the beach, even if he is as strong as a saint, he cannot withstand the wear and tear of time. ”

Ning Chang said: "If the saint dies and the Ten Thousand Demon City loses its protection, won't it be completely destroyed?"

One can imagine how great the catastrophe and madness that the giant city in the northeast will usher in when it is on the verge of destruction.

"Hmm. Si Ming seemed to indifferently tell a secret: "Five hundred years ago, both humans and demons tried to betray the Heavenly Dao and tried in vain to destroy it. But after the defeat, the Heavenly Dao's reckoning with the earthly world is different, and the Heavenly Dao's tolerance for people is far better than that of demons. ”

Ning Chang asked, "Why?"

Si Ming couldn't answer, and said lightly: "Think for yourself." ”

Ning Changjiu knew how much this involved secrecy, so he didn't ask.

In the Nine Secluded Palace, the two of them were silent for a while, and Ning Chang suddenly asked, "...... Do you recognize me?"

"Turning to ashes is also recognized. Si Ming was slightly stunned, looked at Ning Changjiu suspiciously, and said, "No, what are you asking for, and what are you doing to hurt the heavens and reason?"

Ning Changjiu smiled dumbly and said, "That's not what I meant. ”

In the Broken City, Si Ming once mentioned his past life in words of remembrance. He always remembered.

Si Ming flicked his sleeves lightly and said, "I'm not sure if you're him, but ...... If I really know you, it's not a good thing. ”

Ning Chang asked, "Why?"

Si Ming said: "Because I can recognize you, it means that every year, there are at least three high-ranking beings who can recognize you." ”

She is talking about the lord, the priest, and the heavenly monarch every year.

Ning thought for a long time, but said, "Not necessarily." ”

Si Ming frowned: "Why?"

peaceful

looked into her eyes for a long time and said seriously: "Maybe it's because of ...... You've seen me. ”

Si Ming didn't know what she thought, a heavy snow suddenly blew in her eyes, her silver hair moved without wind, and her beautiful face was suddenly indifferent and suddenly moved.

She stretched out a finger and immediately pressed it against Ning Chang's lips.

Si Ming looked out the window, and after confirming that there was no movement in heaven and earth, she glanced at Ning Changjiu faintly, retracted her fingers, and said, "Woe comes from the mouth." ”

Ning Chang nodded solemnly.

Si Ming wanted to sit down, but her posture froze halfway, she got up slowly, stood still again, and said with a normal expression: "When I first saw you in Broken Boundary City, I never thought that I would cooperate with you. ”

Ning Chang said: "Well, I just wanted to kill you at that time. ”

"Heh, you didn't mean to kill me back then. Si Ming talked about the past.

Ning Chang rubbed his forehead and said curiously, "Then what did I say?"

"You said you were going to make me feel humiliation, pain, and despair day and night, and you were going to beat me to the dust and die in pain. When Si Ming talked about these things, his words were light.

"How do you remember so clearly?" Ning Chang was suspicious.

Si Ming smiled and said, "Your ambition is deafening, it's not easy to forget." ”

Ning thought for a long time and said with a smile: "Then I have never forgotten my original intention." ”

"Huh?!"

Si Ming's expression was sharp, and he was about to have a seizure, but he saw Ning Xiaoling running in and running in, habitually jumping on Si Ming's shoulder, scratching it with the fox's tail and rubbing it with his little paws, Si Ming's originally fierce face softened a lot, she glared at Ning Xiaoling, and said, "Your senior brother can't protect you for a lifetime." ”

Ning Xiaoling said flatteringly: "If the senior brother can't protect it, won't there be a sister?"

Si Ming let the little fox be coquettish on his shoulder, quite helpless, thinking if he was too kind, which was the same as his original self...... It's not the same at all.

"Xiaoling, it's been a hundred days. Ning Chang looked at her carefree face, intending to give her a sense of crisis.

Ning Xiaoling was even happier: "It's only been a hundred days, and the authority has almost been collected, and there are still two hundred days...... Senior brother and sister are a match made in heaven!"

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

Ning Xiaoling's words seemed to offend two people at the same time.

Realizing that something was wrong, she weakly explained, "I...... I'm just saying that my brother and sister work well together. ”

"Little vixen. Si Ming hurt her and walked towards the door.

Ning Xiaoling lay on her shoulder, looked at the curves of her hair hanging down, and thought silently, don't be Xiaoling who doesn't know, aren't you also a big vixen now?

Of course, she only dared to think about it, if she said it, she wasn't sure if her senior brother could save herself.

"Senior brother. Ning Xiaoling beckoned to Senior Brother: "Senior Brother, let's go out and play together." ”

Ning Changchang smiled faintly, he temporarily suppressed the many distractions in his heart and walked to Si Ming's side.

Not long after, Lu Wedding also walked out of the house with a sword, she looked at the two people walking side by side, with a resentful expression, and then walked between the two without saying a word, separating them.

Ning Xiaoling also jumped on the master's shoulder, rubbed the master's shoulder, and hammered it back for the master.

The three of them walked across the long chain bridge over the cliff.

Under the long bridge, the surface of the lake shook with tiny pieces of light.

While chatting about some boring topics, the three of them walked to the edge of the Moon Lake.

On the shore of Youyue Lake, the king of fish sits in front of a large tank, and the salted fish in the tank are piled up like a hill, just smelling it, it is fishy and pungent.

The king of fish had a loveless expression on his face.

Seeing Ning Changjiu come back, its dead fish-like eyes suddenly lit up, and it looked at Ning Changjiu as if asking for help.

Ning Changjiu asked, "What is this doing?"

Si Ming said: "When it finishes eating this fish mountain, it can be free." ”

"This is Fengxian County?" Ning Changjiu was shocked: "Our Gu Ling Sect's Truth Listening General, eat this all day long, what kind of system will it become!"

Si Ming said lightly: "It's not because it pretends to be a ghost by the lake on weekdays and deceives the disciples of their fish. Get it for nothing, cheat and deceive, and you deserve it. ”

"But this punishment is unavoidable...... "Ning Chang can't bear it."

The fish king's eyes lit up.

Si Ming asked, "Do you have any opinions?"

Ning Chang looked at the fish king, then looked at the full tank of salted fish, and said silently: "The sect master is really rewarded and punished. ”

The king of fish thought to himself, he shouldn't pin his hopes on you, a beast who only sees women!

"Meow. The king of fish screamed, protesting weakly.

......

The disciples were still practicing in the wooden hall, and the Youyue Lake was exceptionally calm.

They walked all the way along the embankment of the lake and walked out of the sect unconsciously.

The suburbs are full of flowers, and the clothes street is also full of purple and red, full of prosperity.

Lu is in a good mood today, and under the instigation of Ning Changjiu and Si Ming, he also plans to fade this eternal white dress and try on some exquisite makeup.

"Does this look good?" Lu married under the recommendation of the woman in the makeup room, and ordered some red, green, and green makeup.

Ning Changchang smiled sincerely: "It's good to marry." ”

"Senior brother is deceiving!" Ning Xiaoling relied on telepathy to ruthlessly debunk him.

When Lu went to change his makeup before getting married, Ning Changjiu waited outside with Si Ming, and the two chatted with a light smile.

"If I were you, I would not waste my leisure time shopping, knowing that my life was short. Si Ming scoffed.

Ning Chang said: "Reuniting after a long absence, walking with his wife is also a great joy in life, what do you know?"

"You're really a husband and wife. Si Ming said: "Then if you accompany me, will you still be happy?"

Ning Chang made a straight face and made a metaphor: "It's different from walking against dark clouds on a sunny day." ”

Ning Xiaoling wagged his tail and pierced him again: "Senior brother is obviously very happy in his heart!"

Lu married and changed her makeup, and the three of them went for a walk by the lake embankment where they watched the fireworks together. In early spring, the willows are still clinging, and the willows that hang down are spitting out tender yellow leaves, like the stamens of flowers.

"That's ......," Ning Xiaoling looked at the sky.

"Paper kites. Si Ming said: "A kind of child in the world, huh...... Ridiculous toys. ”

Lu married and said: "Paper kites were also used to transmit messages in the past, and it is said that they can convey the hearts of the world to the heavens. ”

Ning Changchang asked, "Let's try it too?"

Si Ming said coldly: "Childish." ”

Ning Chang looked at Ning Xiaoling, and Ning Xiaoling said innocently: "Sister Si Ming and I don't have the same heart, look at what I do!"

Si Ming said: "That's it, I'll reluctantly accompany you to have a look." ”

Outside the countryside, the spring breeze blows the grass into undulating waves, and on the tips of the waves, the fragrance wafts from afar, or the peach and plum forests, or the rose flowers. Between the green grass, the sound of the spring stream is as fine as a whisper, and it flows with the sound of the wind.

Lu married and bought a paper kite, which looked like a finch with lace, and everyone picked up the pen and wrote their names on it.

It's just that none of the three have experience in putting paper kites.

So these peerless great cultivators watched the child's operation from a distance for a while, nodding their heads one after another, each with their own experiences.

Ning Chang held the coil, Lu Married held the slender bamboo shelf on the wings of the paper kite, the two ran on the grass, Ning Chang loosened the thin thread between his hands, and tried to send it to the sky against the wind.

As a result, the paper kite didn't fly long before it shook and fell to the ground, and Si Ming stood with his hands on his chest.

A faint sneer.

"Lord Priest, will you try it?" Ning Changjiu handed out the coil, a little unconvinced.

"Since you beg me, I'll try. Si Ming took the cylindrical wood with the thread looped, and she tried it on the grass with Lu Jiao.

After several attempts, the paper kite finally flew up against the wind.

Si Ming breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ning Changjiu proudly, as if waiting for admiration and praise, but saw that Ning Changjiu also looked at her with a smile. Si Mingming's mood was a little gloomy, and he always felt that he had been deceived again.

She didn't bother to look at him, and continued to look up, watching her paper kite rise into the air.

Si Ming stood expressionless for a moment, and finally laughed.

Her eyelashes and lips fluttered in the light, as bright as spring itself.

Smiling and smiling, Si Ming found that Ning Changchang and Lu were marrying and the little fox were looking at her, she restrained her expression and threw the line to Ning Changjiu, with an expression of 'I knew that this kind of boring thing was easy to get tired of'.

Ning Changjiu took the line.

The paper kite flies higher and higher.

"How far can it fly?" asked Ning Xiaoling.

Ning Chang said: "This is determined by the length of the line. ”

Ning Xiaoling asked again: "Then if the line is long enough, can it fly out of the sky?"

Si Ming said: "The paper kite can fly because there is wind to support it, and those air layers near the sea of ruins have no wind. What's more, the real Suzaku is not yet completely free, so how can a human toy talk about the sky and the earth?"

Lu Marrying sighed: "My sister is really a bad scenery. ”

Si Ming looked at the bright, seemingly open arms to them, and said, "This is the truth. ”

Ning Xiaoling jumped onto the grass, swished to his senior brother's side, jumped on his shoulder, and watched the paper kite fly high together.

Smack.

High up, the mighty wind finally ripped the thin thread apart.

The lace of the paper kite's wings kept shaking and flew higher.

Ning Chang looked at the thread in his hand and smiled apologetically, "Do you want me to go to Edgeworth to chase it back?"

"No need. Si Ming said: "Let it go on our behalf, go farther away to see the truth." ”

Ning Xiaoling nodded, and once again said Ning Changjiu's true thoughts: "Well, anyway, Senior Brother is just talking, and he doesn't really want to chase ......."

Ning Chang sighed and wanted to stuff the ball into his junior sister's mouth.

Lu Wedding watched the paper kite fly away, but she was very distressed. After all...... It was his own money that was spent.

The paper kite flew farther and farther until it was no longer visible.

The three of them finally withdrew their gaze and walked back hand in hand. This time, Ning Chang stood in the middle.

Spring is ordinary.

......

The next half month was particularly quiet.

In addition to accompanying them to enjoy the mountains and rivers, Lu married and married them, and cultivated swords as always.

She could already see the bottleneck of the five roads in front of the avenue, but this gap was sometimes far away, sometimes near, like an unpredictable cloud, and you couldn't tell whether you were seeing the whole picture or just the tip of the iceberg.

Lu married vaguely felt that this bottleneck should also be cut with a sword.

It's just that she hasn't found the sword yet.

Ning Changjiu has never slackened on his cultivation, and the battle with the White Crane True Monarch has made his Dao realm perception clearer and clearer, and he also feels that there is some aura left on his body.

That kind of breath...... It's a lot like Xiang'er's.

Is she missing herself too much, or is she sheltering herself in the dark?

Ning Chang was not sure.

Si Ming has also restrained a lot these days, although he occasionally makes mocking remarks, but he doesn't dare to bully Lu Marry and Xiao Ling, but Ning Changjiu still picked some thorns and took the opportunity to punish her a few times, these fluttering punishments fell in Lu Marriage's eyes, making the big lady on the bright face frown. She only felt that Ning Changjiu almost wrote the words 'ill-intentioned' on her face.

Ning Xiaoling silently assimilated authority. In the past half a month, two more sects have come to return their authority.

Ning Changjiu witnessed Ning Xiaoling's appearance of pretending to be a ghost behind the curtain, and forced a smile.

"Authority should be more or less complete now, right?"

After the others left, Si Ming, who was in a black divine robe, walked to Ning Xiaoling's side and mercilessly dragged the reserve immortal monarch to his neck.

Ning Xiaoling sensed it for a moment and said, "It seems to be ...... There's a lot worse. ”

Ning Chang frowned and said, "How is it possible?"

Si Ming said: "No, I have checked, and there are only the last two left." ”

"How much is missing?" asked Ning Chang.

Ning Xiaoling thought about it, gestured with his paws again, and said, "Probably...... So much. ”

Ning Chang looked at her serious gesture, was silent for a while, and then understood what she meant by heart-to-heart communication.

"How can it be so bad?" Ning Chang was a little uneasy: "I'm afraid the last two are far from enough. ”

Si Ming asked, "Xiao Ling, can you sense the location of the mutilated authority?"

Ning Xiaoling was not sure, and said, "I'll try!"

Si Ming said: "Well, I will also use the astral spirit divination technique to calculate it." ”

Ning Changjiu's eyes narrowed, he looked to the north, and vaguely guessed where the remaining authority was.

The next day, Ning Xiaoling and Si Ming confirmed his thoughts.

Ten Thousand Demon City.

......

On the same day, in the three thousand worlds of all fragrances, Zhao Xiang'er changed into a red dress that dragged the ground, and walked out of the cloud-covered pavilion, the long skirt of the gold-painted phoenix bird flowed across the white clouds and the sea, and the beautiful and elegant shadow was the most beautiful scene in the three thousand worlds.

Her long hair ran down to her waist, and her jet-black hair was covered with the queen's unique crown of fire, burning illusory.

Shi Yu and Snow Kite followed behind her.

Today is the day of her trial, and it is also the greatest opportunity that the Vermilion Bird God has prepared for her to enter the Five Realms.

Shi Yu looked at her pale cheeks, knowing that the strength she had lost for a long time to save Ning for a long time half a month ago had not yet had time to fully recover.

She sighed in her heart, not understanding what her sister had taken a fancy to him.

In the center of the Three Thousand Worlds, a huge wheel of fire slowly emerged, like an open eye.

Shi Yu's face was melancholy, and Snow Kite was jealous.

Zhao Xiang'er could distinguish their emotions, but she didn't care.

She walked into it.

She wasn't sure if she would survive the trial, but she had no fear in her heart, and she suddenly remembered Ning Jiujiu.

She knew that above her and his heads, behind the glossy curtain, there was a great terror, something beyond life itself, and it was also an existence that they would face together.

This tacit fate is an invisible thread, it does not begin with the old moon, nor does it end with Meng Po, it is born from fate, and only eternal death can break it apart.

Zhao Xiang'er's figure was swallowed in the firelight.

......

Not impressive.

Under the curtain of the Golden Buddha, the center of the lotus candle water, the main Taoist clothes meditate.

There was no water curtain in front of her, but a paper kite in the shape of a firebird.

Paper kites are thin and fragile with bamboo strips as their bones.

The viewer looked at the name of the paper kite, slowly stretched out his finger, pointed to the surface of the water, and dipped it in the water to add a name to the surface of the paper kite.

That's her name.

"Is it time to meet again?"

When the viewer speaks, ripples ripple on the surface of the water.

......
