The mountains are towering, the rivers are flowing, the sword rainbow is like a meteor passing through the sky, breaking through the stratus clouds, the mountains and rivers are high, and tens of thousands of miles a day. The scenery below is also changing, from the pine forest and cypress to the white snow of the mountains, the four seasons have become a microcosm in the eyes, and the scenery and landforms of various places show its beauty with its appearance of evolution for thousands of years.

Si Ming clearly stood his sword in the sky, but it was the first time to enjoy the scenery of the world so closely.

"In the past, when I was in the kingdom of God, the earthly world was nothing more than a picture scroll of mountains and seas in my eyes, almost flat, and the scenery and secrets in it were also unobstructed. Si Ming stood on the tip of the sword, and his robe was like a black flame facing the wind.

She whispered as she looked at the arched landscape below, receding in her sight.

Ning Chang asked: "A world without secrets, is there still fun?"

Si Ming said: "Most of the people who will ask such questions are vulgar mortals, who only understand the small pleasures of the mundane, and do not know the great joy of the immortals." ”

......" Ning Changjiu was used to her sarcastically mocking herself, he was unmoved, and continued to ask a curious question for a long time: "A round of the kingdom of God has a total of thirteen years, each lord only guards for one year, and in the remaining twelve years, when the kingdom of God is closed, what are you doing?"

Si Ming's expression was gloomy, and after a while, he sighed softly and said euphemistically: "This is also one of the biggest secrets of the Kingdom of God, and it is also a major reason why the great demons and great cultivators in the world were willing to unite with the saints to fight against the heavens five hundred years ago...... Although I am not convinced, I can vaguely guess what kind of picture the saint made the world see in the first place. ”

She didn't dare to say more, as long as the words crossed the boundary of the Heavenly Dao Law, the supreme thunder might descend with the power of the unstoppable rules, and she was confident that she could escape the catastrophe, but Ning Changjiu might be killed in an instant.

Ning Chang listened to her words, and couldn't help but raise his head and look at the sky. The sky was as clear as a girl's skin that could be broken by a blow, but the hideousness that loomed behind it was beyond his imagination at this moment.

The sound of swords echoed the sky.

Ning Changjiu asked again: "In the past few days, you often praise the beauty of the world, since you love it, but you still don't want to stay?"

Si Ming smiled lightly, she no longer looked at the scenery below, but said: "Yang is clear for the sky, yin is turbid for the earth, the real beauty is always high above...... When your realm is high enough, you will understand. I admire these beautiful scenery, but I just have fun in the bitterness. ”

Ning listened for a long time, and his thoughts were long. Ascension...... That's where he left off in his previous life.

The master is the one who executes.

And he's running there now. He couldn't be sure whether he was running for life or death, but he had nowhere else to go except that the night had given him a fate.

Si Ming saw that he had something on his mind and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Ning Chang came back to his senses, smiled lightly, and asked instead, "By the way, have you heard of Kunlun?"

"Kunlun?" Si Ming said, "The sword of the second disciple of the Sword Pavilion?"

Ning Changchang asked: "I want to ask, is there a real place in the world called Kunlun?"

"The legend of Kunlun is the Heavenly Pillar. Si Ming said lightly.

Ning Chang waited quietly for the rest of the conversation.

Si Ming thought to herself, how long the history of Kunlun is, it was almost two or three thousand years ago, at that time he was not a priest, after he took office, the Kunlun Divine Pillar had already collapsed, and the ruins did not know where to accumulate, where did she know the specific history of Kunlun, only knew that all the pillars of heaven in later generations were collectively called Kunlun.

Kunlun is not so much a specific existence, but rather a symbol, the only way that humans and demons can climb to the sky in the era before the Jedi Tiantong, and it is the condensation of the ambition of all spirits.

But she herself was not satisfied with this explanation. After all, she had just said to Ning Changchang that the priests in the past were almost omniscient.

Ning Chang couldn't wait for an explanation and asked, "Could it be that Kunlun's secret also violates the laws of the Heavenly Dao?"

"Well, all your questions are more or less beyond the boundaries of the rules, if I am still an official in the kingdom of God, you will be the first to be killed. After Si Ming put his hands on his back, he said indifferently: "In the future, it is good to bury these problems in your heart, and be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth." Got it?"

"Understood. Ning Chang nodded, and said in one word: "It turns out that you don't know what Kunlun is." ”

"You...... You are presumptuous!" The snow between Si Ming's eyebrows turned into fire, she turned her head sideways, and said angrily: "Are you a priest or am I a priest?" In short, Kunlun is a thing that reaches the sky, and all things in the world can be named, Kunlun!"

"Something that reaches the sky?" Ning Chang was puzzled.

The Divine Pillar Heavenly Peak of that year has long been destroyed, and in the vicissitudes of life, many mountains in the world have also sunk to the bottom of the sea, and the tallest fourth floor of Middle Earth is only beyond the clouds, not to mention the real sky, even if it is from the sea of ruins, there is still a long distance.

"Hmm. Si Ming's eyebrows were full of confidence, and she said solemnly: "Those who understand will understand, and those who don't understand will understand no matter how much they say, you can comprehend on your own, and when you break through the five realms, you will have insight." ”

Ning Chang nodded as if he didn't understand.

Si Ming asked, "What do you always ask about......?" What does it have to do with your teacher?"

Si Ming is curious about his mysterious master.

Ning Changjiu nodded slightly: "There is some connection." ”

Si Ming said, "When did you leave the division?"

Ning Changjiu made up nonsense: "About seven years old, I met an old Taoist priest in the world, so I followed him, and then the Taoist priest accepted a little junior sister, which was Ning Xiaoling, at that time, Xiaoling was far less cute and well-behaved than now, and her teeth were very sharp." ”

Si Ming was curious in his heart, and asked puzzledly: "You have such a bone talent, which is rare in the world, your master does not accept you as an inner disciple, and teaches you by words and deeds, but you are only seven years old in the world, and you are allowed to be abducted and deceived by the old Taoist priest, and you waste a lot of time until you are sixteen years old? ”

Ning Chang smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I'm ashamed to say that among the masters, my talent may only be ranked seventh. ”

Si Ming asked, "How many disciples do you have in your master?"

Ning Chang said: "Count me seven." ”

"......" Si Ming was silent for a moment, she closed her eyes, and she didn't believe Ning Chang's words. Mo said that mortal dust, even if it is a life conceived in the well of the fetal spirit mother of the Kingdom of God, there are a lot of defective products, and Ning Changchang is like this, and it is a rare existence in all aspects in the Kingdom of God...... Of course, it is still far inferior to the self that was born in response to the order.

"Hmph, your master's vision is too bad, and a piece of uncarved jade is discarded as a waste stone. If I were your master, I would have calculated everything on your path and arranged everything clearly, and then I would choose the best path for you. Si Ming sneered.

Ning Chang didn't know how to explain it...... In his previous life, Shizun did this to himself, even if it was a marriage contract, he arranged it properly.

Ning Chang said: "I don't know what Master thinks. ”

Si Ming said firmly: "Your sect still don't go back, when they see your current achievements, they may be jealous and harm you." ”

Ning Chang didn't know how to answer. Now that Bai is hidden, even if he trusts Si Ming, it is impossible for him to tell everything about the unimpressive, so he has to say ambiguously: "After I enter the world, Shimen."

There has been no news for more than ten years. ”

"I'm afraid I've forgotten about you. Si Ming said lightly.

"Maybe. Ning Changchang said.

Si Ming shook his head slightly, lowering the status of the Hidden Sect in his heart even more.

"But anyway, it's okay to be idle, you can tell me about your sect. Si Ming said.

Ning Chang thought for a long time, and said in easy-to-understand words: "Senior sister likes green skirts, and is in charge of the study pavilion and laws in the sect. ”

"The library pays attention to quietness, and the law is strict, how can the two be mixed together, it seems that there is really a shortage of people in your view, forget it, needless to say, it doesn't sound like a serious sect, no wonder there is a you. Si Ming listened and shook his head slightly.

Ning Changjiu didn't care about her ridicule of himself, he only looked at the sky occasionally, worried about whether there would be a thunderbolt outside the rules.

The sky is calm...... Fortunately, Shizun seems to be a magnanimous person.

The dusk of the last day has also arrived.

The Void Sword carried them and flew over the endless mountains and rivers before quietly shattering.

The two landed gently and stood side by side.

The mountain roads here are no different, only more sparse and desolate, for hundreds of miles, there are no birds, no people, it is still early spring, but the tips of the wild grass and leaves in the forest are rolled up in a dry, flame-licking burnt color.

Ning Chang looked up, and the dusk that covered the sky was also tinged with an unusual pale color.

Before they knew it, they seemed to have come to another world, and all the thousands of rivers and mountains they had crossed were left behind, and the shriveled wind blew from the mountain road in front of them, and they jumped on their faces coldly.

Si Ming stood here, her beautiful face was incompatible with the dry landscape-like scenery around her, and the divinity on her body seemed to have faded a little. The sunset set on her side, and at the bottom of the stone path, her back hidden in the shadows of the trees, was more like a lonely wandering ghost.

"This should already be the realm of Ten Thousand Demon City. Si Ming said.

Ning Chang said: "But there is no demonic spirit here. ”

Si Ming said: "It's just a territory, the real Ten Thousand Demon City, there should be a long distance from here." ”

Ning Chang asked, "Then where will you stay tonight?" ”

Si Ming said: "Let's take a look ahead." ”

The two climbed the broken stone road together, behind the stone road, the mountain forest was much wider, and there was no one on the road, but at the end of the road, there was a faint broken temple.

Ning Chang said: "If you don't dislike it, you can live in the temple tonight." ”

"It's a ghost temple. Si Ming looked at the temple, his eyebrows frowning.

"Ghost Temple?"

"Hmm. Si Ming explained: "When ordinary people come here, they may see the mountain road of a flat river, and we have two eyes and spirits, so we can see this scene." ”

Ning Chang asked, "The monster also asks the gods to worship the Buddha?"

Si Ming said: "Thousands of years after the death of the Immortal King, the reincarnation collapsed, and the soul had nothing to rely on, and so did the people, and the same is true of the demons, and these ghost temples originated from this. ”

"Ghost Temple...... Could it have something to do with Nether Authority?" Ning Changchang's heart moved, and he immediately asked.

Si Ming pondered for a moment, tapped his head, and said, "Maybe." ”

On the desolate road, the two of them stepped on the fine stones, and walked forward together, and the sky grew darker, and the wind blew the leaves with a whispering sound, and the color of the dusk was shaken to pieces, and in a short time the moon rose from the other side.

It was a full moon.

Ning Chang said: "This moon is not right. ”

The next full moon is at least seven days away.

"No fuss. Si Ming said: "There are countless small worlds in this world, when we walked the steps before, we entered this ghost temple, everything we see is illusory, you can see through these when you open your golden eyes." ”

Ning Changchang nodded, he understood that this might be a place built by some monsters, similar to a small underground.

The construction of this ghost temple is eerie. The temple is built with a wooden and stone structure, and there are two hideous faces standing at the door, sharp teeth, and there are six tailed evil beasts, the evil beasts have beads in their mouths, and their eyes are as big as copper bells, which seems to be the truth of the monster's imagination. As they arrived, the first door slowly opened, and the wind blew from inside with the creak of the door opening.

Si Ming walked in.

The ground was covered with broken bricks, and the cracks in the bricks were crowded with dirt and dead grass, and on the other side of the courtyard was the ghost temple. The style of the ghost temple is also very old, the walls are tightly arranged from wood chips, with a mildew dark color, and the neat and intricate dougong supports the eaves, and under the eaves hang bells, the bells have no tongues, but are hung with Taoist symbols, and the bells sway with their steps. The door opened, and it was pitch black, as if a flock of bats or crows might fly out at any moment.

"Wait. ”

Ning Changjiu's golden crow was eager to try, and when he was about to move on, Si Ming grabbed his wrist.

"What's wrong?" Ning Changjiu asked softly.

Si Ming said: "Wait and go in again." ”

Ning was puzzled for a long time, but he did not object.

After a while, outside the courtyard gate, a group of black oppressive shadows suddenly appeared, they seemed to be shackled, all prostrate and walked in one after another.

Ning Chang saw their appearance clearly.

These are dead demons.

In this world, the life that came from the primeval times is called the ancient gods, such as the ancient dragon and phoenix bird, the Kunpeng golden crow, their bloodlines are noble, the number is scarce, and the various races, even if they are not related, can also mate freely and give birth to offspring, but the gestation cycle of the ancient gods is too long, and the struggle for authority between the various races often leads to large-scale civil wars.

The phrase 'corpse mountain and blood sea' in the ancient book is simple, but in the real world, these four words may be the decline and destruction of several races, and in the end, only the most powerful race remains.

This is also the reason why the dragon clan was still at its peak at the end of the Age of the Old Gods. At that time, the sea, the sky, and the land were almost all over their footprints, and under their restless nature and random mating, countless absurd-looking gods were born.

Demons are different from the ancient gods, most of them are animal spirits, and they have cultivated and opened their minds, thus becoming demon spirits.

It is difficult for demons to reproduce across races, so the ethnic group is clear, whether it is a jackal, a tiger and a leopard, or a native chicken, no matter whether they give birth to something like three heads and six arms when they practice in the future, people can distinguish their essence at a glance.

So in comparison, demons are closer to people than the ancient gods.

Ning Chang looked at the black shadows that walked by, and as they approached, their appearance became clearer, including a scorpion spirit with a broken tail, a gecko spirit holding a tail, a thin wolf, and a leopard with spotted skin...... When they have been dead for a long time, their pupils glow dead gray, as if they will be wiped out with a gentle breath. They come here in groups, more out of instinct.

Ning Chang and Si Ming watched as they walked into the temple.

After the spirits of the demons entered the temple, the door outside the courtyard was closed.

Ning Chang and Si Ming walked towards the depths of the temple with a clear heart.

Walk up the stairs and over the dark eaves.

The temple was pitch black, but it didn't affect their vision. The sound of chanting came to my ears

, the sound is layered, almost illusory, if you listen carefully, your mind will be flooded with bloody fantasies of rivers of blood and bones.

Ning Changjiu was no longer the boy who was trapped in Linhe City at the beginning, and the breath of terror was pressing, but his expression was as calm as the darkness itself.

I saw the previous demon spirits kneeling on the ground together, bent down, and listened to the chanting like a walking corpse.

Ning Changjiu raised his head and saw the ghosts in the ghost temple clearly.

It was a statue of a god with a crown of feathers, a pointed mouth and a red ribbon wrapped around it, and it sat cross-legged with a look of compassion.

After the chanting was over, the bronze statue seemed to come to life, and it spoke, and its voice of pity was full of merciless arrogance: "All demons are suffering, and the heavens are merciful." I am the envoy of the Ghost Emperor, and I will extradite you and others across the Blood Sea Soul Cliff. Those who can endure hardships can see the life on the other side, and those who can't should fall into the fire of hell. ”

In front of the idol, a pot with iron chains fell, and the black oil and water in the pot were boiling.

All the demon spirits knelt on the ground in unison, and their voices were like singing: "May the ghosts and gods be transcended." ”

They knelt in unison and tumbled into the iron cauldron.

Ning Chang looked at this scene and asked in a low voice, "The demon clan also has its own Hades Monarch, who proclaimed himself a ghost god?"

Si Ming just chuckled: "There are no ghosts and gods, just ghosts in despair, pushing themselves to an even more desperate hell." ”

Ning Chang was about to ask, and saw that the statue on the temple pedestal came to life, where is the god, it is clearly a rooster with black feathers and red crowns, and the red belt wrapped around its body is not something else, but a centipede that has lived for an unknown number of years, and the centipede's pointed feet are on its feathers, wrapping it around, and its long whiskers flutter.

Boom!

With an astonishing sound, the tip of the rooster's wings rolled up a lid and slammed it on the frying pan.

In the cauldron, the wails of the souls were heartbreaking.

The rooster's eyes were red, and he stared at the iron pot, and his short, hard beak let out a sharp grin.

Ning Chang looked at this scene and sighed softly.

Si Ming said firmly: "In its body, there is a small part of the authority of the Immortal Monarch. ”

Their voices rang out in the ruined temple, and the rooster spirit raised his head sharply, his eyes widened, and he asked sharply, "What?!"

Only then did it realize that there were two people standing in the shadows of the doorway.

"Dare to be demonic, dare to trespass into the temple!" the rooster flapped his wings and let out a strange cry: "Where did you come from?

Ning Changjiu was not in a hurry, and said, "Dare to ask Daxian, what is the soul soup?"

The rooster spirit mocked: "Don't pretend to be crazy and stupid! Since you are here, then I will sacrifice you to the Ghost Emperor together!"

"Ghost Emperor?" Ning Changjiu asked, "Who is it?"

The rooster spirit did not answer, it flapped its wings violently, and pounced on them, and Si Ming gently slashed a sword.

The rooster spirit was slashed away with a sword, shattering the idol on the stage and slamming into the wall.

Si Ming asked, "Who is the Ghost Emperor?"

She seemed to be asking, but in fact, her divine sense had penetrated into it, searching for souls.

But she found nothing.

Si Ming was suspicious in his heart, but when he saw that it had bare eyes, he pounced desperately, Si Ming no longer showed mercy, and cut it in half with a sword.

The rooster essence fell to the ground. Ning Changjiu was surprised to find that it was just an empty shell, and all the internal organs and six lungs in the body had disappeared, leaving only shriveled flesh.

"Its body is the centipede!" Si Ming looked sharply.

Ning Changjiu also found that the centipede wrapped around the rooster was missing. He opened his sword eyes and saw the centipede crawling quickly on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it was about to disappear into the gap.

But how can a mere centipede escape the pursuit of Si Ming?

Bite!

The centipede's long tail was pinned by the invisible sword in the darkness, and then the wall was blown away, and countless swords broke through its shell and nailed it to the ground, and the centipede let out a terrible long roar, and then died. The fog of the ghost temple disappeared, the full moon in the sky shattered, and a black fragment came out of its rapidly decaying body.

"This is one of the fragments of the Immortal Monarch, although it is insignificant, but it is a good start to be able to obtain this thing when you first come to Ten Thousand Demon City. Si Ming looked at the broken temple behind him and said.

Ning Chang stared at this small fragment of dust and sand, and said, "It seems that the reincarnation of the ghost temple does not exist, this is just a scam. ”

Si Ming said lightly: "All over the world, where is it not a deception? Besides, whether it is a deception or not, the soul will inevitably be broken and dissipated." ”

Ning Chang chuckled helplessly.

Si Ming said: "I have something to do tonight, I want to come to this Ten Thousand Demon City, there are still many such temples hidden." ”

So, this night, they searched for a ghost temple among the barren mountains and mountains.

Those ghost temples are much the same, and the ghosts and Buddhas in them are also liars disguised as monsters. But these monsters are very strange, they are the same as the previous centipedes and chickens, there are yellow finches controlled by praying mantises, wild wolves held hostage by sheep spirits, and eagles entwined with poisonous snakes......

The laws of nature seem to be reversed, and they not only kill their natural enemies, but instead use them as puppets to shape the idols into strange beauty.

Ning Chang was curious about this, and originally wanted to search the soul to know the truth, but these goblins seemed to be puppets of some unknown existence, and they became crazy one by one after being drunk.

And they rescued those demon spirits, and the demon spirits were not grateful, but instead regarded them as god-killing demons, arousing their instinctive wildness, and pounced on them.

In just the middle of the night, dozens of ghost temples were destroyed.

Si Ming was a little tired, she leaned against the tree, looked at the half moon of Tianxin through the leaves, and said lightly: "Even if the ghost temple here is eliminated, you can't get even a complete fragment if you think about it." ”

Ning Chang looked at the fragments in his palms and said, "The real fragments of authority should be in the hands of the Ghost Emperor in their mouths. ”

"Well, I finally got some clues, I thought that after I got here, I would be looking for a clueless way. Si Ming said.

Ning Changjiu put these fragments together and said, "Now it seems that it is good to go to the Ten Thousand Demon City tomorrow to find the so-called Ghost Emperor, such a big name should not be difficult to find." ”

Si Ming didn't pay much attention, she looked at the moon, and felt that the moon seemed to be looking at her too.

She was sure that there were no gods in the Moon Palace, but the feeling was strange and seemed to make people sleep.

"Lend me a shoulder. Si Ming said.

"What are you doing?" Ning Chang asked before he could see Si Ming leaning lightly on his shoulder, his eyes slightly closed.

Ning Chang put on his coat and put it on for her.

"Pretend. Si Ming snorted coldly, didn't appreciate it, and fell asleep gently.

Si Ming had a strange dream.

In the dream, she continued to march towards the Ten Thousand Demon City.

But what she approached was not Ten Thousand Demon City, but a moon.

In the moon, a white-clothed shadow turned his back to him, shining brightly, eclipsing the bright moon.

......
