Standing at the door, his eyes raised slightly, and he looked over Shao Xiaoli's head into the courtyard, only to see that the young man in white seemed to be practicing swords, and on the grass in front of him, there were traces of weeds neatly cut by the sword.

"Do you need a new sword?" asked the prime minister, smiling.

Ning ignored him for a long time.

"You don't have to pretend to me, I know you're not an ordinary spirit, you can understand and understand our words." If you have a need, just talk to us, even...... I can change the master for you. ”

When Shao Xiaoli heard this, he immediately panicked and stopped: "I have already made a contract with him, and I am in love! Besides, it was my blood that led him out, and in the whole city, only I am qualified to be his master!"

The prime minister did not contradict her, and a faint, unmeaning smile hung on his face.

Shao Xiaoli looked at this smile with a slight emptiness, and she immediately continued: "Of course the sword is wanted, since the Prime Minister also knows that my spirit is extraordinary, of course I have to use the best sword!"

The minister looked at this girl who was a fox and a tiger, and said, "Miss Shao has become so tough now?"

Shao Xiaoli had fear and shadow in her heart for the Prime Minister, her momentum immediately shortened, and her voice was slightly low: "Is there anything else going on with the Prime Minister?"

The minister shook his head and said: "It's okay, someone will send the new sword in the afternoon, don't forget about the assessment, you are also a member of the royal family, there should be no need for me to say more about related matters, right?"

"Got it. Shao Xiaoli avoided his gaze, looking unconfident.

After the prime minister left, Shao Xiaoli turned around a little sullenly, she slowly walked behind Ning Changjiu with small steps, put her hand on his shoulder skillfully, pressed and pounded, and said, "Boss, you heard it, this assessment must go to the ......"

"Hmm. Ning Chang nodded.

Shao Xiaoli said sincerely: "Let me tell you about the content, let's practice it first, and then save the situation." ”

Ning Chang said hello.

Shao Xiaoli introduced, "This assessment is not troublesome, there are only two things in total, the first level is to test my mental strength, whether I can accurately control your actions with my mind, the second level is a little scary, and when the time comes, we will be thrown to the first floor of the ghost prison with the door wide open, and we will have to come out alive after an hour." ”

Ning thought about it for a long time and felt that the second level should not be difficult, as for the first level......

Ning Chang opened his eyes and looked at her with distrust: "How far has your spiritual power been cultivated?"

Shao Xiaoli's talent is not outstanding, although it has gone through more than ten years of hard work, the results are average. But Shao Xiaoli had already thought of a countermeasure last night, and she said mysteriously: "Boss, you wait." ”

As he spoke, Shao Xiaoli sped up and pinched his shoulder, then turned around and went back to the room, took out a small stack of paper from it, held it with his palm and pinched it with his thumb, and handed it to Ning Changjiu very obediently, and said softly: "Boss, this is the script, when the time comes, we will just act according to the above, I also predicted a lot of difficult and unexpected situations, boss, you can take a look!"

"......" Ning was speechless for a long time, he silently took Shao Xiaoli's script and flipped through it.

"Boss, if you feel tired of reading, I can help you read!" Shao Xiaoli showed his thoughtful thinking on the side.

Ning Chang looked at it to himself.

Shao Xiaoli's handwriting is very beautiful, and it looks dignified and beautiful, like a noble woman who is out of the pavilion with a deep boudoir, and every stroke is full of rhyme.

Words are indeed unreliable...... Ning Chang looked at these beautiful words and thought so in his heart.

He pinched the edge of the paper, glanced at ten lines, and flipped his fingers one by one, secretly praising in his heart that this little girl's mind is indeed quite delicate, and she even considered how to perform the feeling of imminence between her and herself when her mental strength was insufficient, and also wrote in detail about her mental collapse, but perseverance, gritting her teeth to control her movements, and at that time, how she should react.

"Let's just follow this. "Ning Chang can't find anything wrong.

Shao Xiaoli's originally tense expression suddenly relaxed, and she jumped happily when she was half-squatting on the side of Ning Chang's chair, but Ning Changjiu's always cold face seemed to be pouring cold water on her, she took it and asked cautiously, "Is it really okay?"

"Nope. Ning Changchang said.

Shao Xiaoli was completely relieved and said, "Why don't we start practicing now?"

Ning Changchang said: "You can practice your section well, I ......"

Ning Changjiu wanted to say that he didn't need to practice, but he was afraid that the little girl would worry, so he still said, "I'll just practice secretly." When the time comes, we'll just put it together. ”

Shao Xiaoli showed a slightly abrupt expression, thinking that the boss must be shy about this kind of thing.

In the following morning, Shao Xiaoli threw a blanket, sat in the center of the stone road, and began a meticulous and rigorous drill according to the script he had written, while Ning Changjiu sat under the eaves at the door of the house, silently thinking about what he saw in the library last night, guessing and deducing the ins and outs of this city.

It was nearly noon.

Shao Xiaoli finally rested after jumping around all morning, she was quite satisfied with the results of her training, and the scene of her amazing skills had already appeared in her mind.

"Boss, you really don't practice?" Shao Xiaoli raised his arm to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and asked tentatively.

Ning Chang respected his identity, and he secretly resisted many of the actions in the script, shaking his head and refusing.

Shao Xiaoli didn't dare to force it, and hurriedly said, "Boss, then I'll go cook for you first!"

Meals at noon are much more hearty than in the morning.

Shao Xiaoli sat up in the back kitchen, the smoke was rising, and the fragrance lingered.

When the table was full, Shao Xiaoli confidently invited Ning Chang to try her craft.

After taking a seat, Shao Xiaoli began to actively introduce: "This is the Qinglong Tenghai, this is the Dinghai Divine Needle, this is the Jade Girl Shy, this is the peerless double pride...... It's one of a kind!"

Ning Changjiu picked up the chopsticks on the table, followed her introduced gaze, and looked at the few kinds of clear soup and boiled vegetables one by one, stewed eggs with green onions, braised mussel meat, stir-fried double peppers, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

This morning he drank ordinary porridge, he originally thought that Shao Xiaoli had a light taste, until this moment, he finally began to question the "brocade clothes and jade food" in Shao Xiaoli's mouth.

Shao Xiaoli was also very clever, knowing what Ning Changchang was thinking in his heart, and hurriedly explained: "The boss should be a big man outside before he is reincarnated, this place is not as good as the outside, these river mussels are all dug out of the underground spring to feed, and it is not easy to eat food." ”

Ning Chang nodded, he was not picky about eating and drinking, at this moment he stared at the last dish, hesitated for a while, knowing that he shouldn't ask, but he still couldn't help but speak: "Why is it called a standout?"

On the plate was a yellowed pancake with a little garlic stuff rolled in it.

Shao Xiaoli's eyes bent, as if a hunter saw his prey stepping on the clamp, and happily introduced: "This is a pancake, this is garlic...... The boss is the boss, of course, the boss is the only one!"

“...... Oh. Ning Chang took a deep look at the dish and nodded.

Shao Xiaoli looked at his pancakes and thought to himself that this garlic paste was not sprinkled, but put it one by one, and his spirit was commendable...... I don't know if the boss saw it, why did he react so coldly?

Ning Changjiu lowered his head and silently picked up a chopstick and other dishes.

He remembered the words "one branch is alone", and his pretended cold expression finally did not tighten, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up, which was keenly captured by Shao Xiaoli, her heart was so excited that it was like a blooming flower, but she also calmed down, her face didn't show anything, just lowered her head, looked up secretly, and whispered: "The boss looks better when he laughs than Sister Su." ”

Ning Changjiu's face immediately returned to calm.

Compare with women...... He didn't think Shao Xiaoli was praising himself.

He didn't want to go through the embarrassment of River City again.

After eating, Ning Changjiu practiced Shao Xiaoli's exclusive exercise, the Northern Spiritual Sword.

Shao Xiaoli was very happy and asked, "Boss, is my swordsmanship quite remarkable?" ”

Ning Chang snorted and said, "It's a good ornament." ”

Shao Xiaoli narrowed his eyes and said, "Boss, I don't think you are light on the surface, but in fact, you are bad in your heart?"

As soon as these words came out, Shao Xiaoli began to regret his unscrupulous words.

"Huh?" Ning Changjiu glanced at her indifferently.

This light glance shattered Shao Xiaoli's defenses, she patted her cheek, softly begged to admit her mistake, and looked eager to go to the mourning hall to remove the candles.

Ning Chang was quite helpless, and he didn't know what attitude to use towards her.

Now he just wants to leave here as soon as possible, return to the original world, and meet his lovely junior sister and master.

In his body, the spirit of the Sword Sutra is quite optimistic about this little girl, saying that even if his eyes are vicious, this little girl is definitely a good embryo, I don't believe that we will taste it together tomorrow morning.

Of course, Ning Changjiu would not bother with it.

Shao Xiaoli secretly rejoiced that his boss had a good temper, and even fantasized about the appearance of the powerful boss walking out of the snow field on his back in the future.

When you get out of the snowfield, the outside world will definitely be wonderful, and at that time, you will definitely be a beautiful girl.

Well...... What's the child's name?

A knock on the door interrupted Shao Xiaoli's fantasy.

The one who came was the one who gave the sword.

The man who gave the sword gave a few explanations, and then quietly left.

It was a sword sheathed in black leather, decorated with gold leaf and painted with intricate dark lines, and the sheath was also surrounded by a shiny silver metal ring.

Ning Chang held the hilt of the sword and pulled it out gently.

The body of the sword was like a surge of water, reflecting his equally delicate and plain face.

Near the sword, there are several ancient inscriptions.

At that time, the emperor cast a sword with the bronze of the first mountain and engraved it with astronomical ancient characters, so there is usually a tradition of lettering on the famous sword.

Shao Xiaoli liked this sword very much and felt that it was a perfect match for the boss.

And Ning Changjiu's expression was much more solemn.

He recognized the sword.

This was the sword worn by the woman who called herself the maid of the Star Spirit Hall last night, and it was unsheathed at that time, but now it was unsheathed from her waist and sent to her.

What does this mean?

Ning Chang put his palm against the hilt of the sword and pushed the sword back into the sheath, he carefully probed it with his divine sense, and found no problem, but he still couldn't rest assured, and planned to wait until the golden crow woke up, and then recast the sword.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is another two days.

The solar terms here and the outside world have a dark response, but after all, this place is separated from the world, so the perception of the climate is not strong, even if it will feel slightly hot during the day, after nightfall, the temperature of the whole city will drop sharply.

And Shao Xiaoli was wrapped in a thick quilt every night, shrunk in the corner, trembling, and said dreamy words.

Ning Changjiu would secretly calm her down for the past two nights, and then cross into the aura to try to dispel the cold in her body, but his action instead made his index finger that was on her eyebrows covered with a slight frost, and he was almost eaten by the cold.

He was sure that her body should be stained with a curse or something, but for some reason, this little girl seemed to have no heart and lungs during the day, and she didn't realize it.

In the past two days, Ning Changjiu's attitude towards her was not as cold as at the beginning, which made Shao Xiaoli secretly happy for a long time, and felt that the future was really promising.

And Ning Changjiu also taught her some higher-level methods of vomiting, and Shao Xiaoli clamored to worship him as a teacher.

On the afternoon of the third day, Shao Xiaoli finally had a feeling that a good day was over.

This is the deadline for the assessment.

Shao Xiaoli is like a cold window student who has studied hard for more than ten years, and at the deadline of the big exam in the capital, he finally had to carry a large bag and a coiled bag, and rushed to the capital, looking nervous and serious.

Ning Changchang was like a scholar who accompanied him, with his hands on his sleeves, and he looked a little unconcerned, and his expression was calm.

The prime minister had been waiting for a long time in front of the metal stone block of the palace, and there were several officials who recorded and supervised beside him, and they stopped their pens and looked at the young man and girl who came from a distance, and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

The counselor glanced at Shao Xiaoli deeply: "Ready?"

Shao Xiaoli didn't like his eyes, deliberately avoided it, and nodded, "Okay." ”

Ning Changjiu followed behind her, his expression was cold but not wooden, and he really looked different from ordinary spirits.

The prime minister glanced at the dynasty's metal platform.

Shao Xiaoli understood, and put his hand up.

The metal platform sounded a sword sound, which was not loud, but it was also crisp, proving that Shao Xiaoli's kendo achievements were acceptable and he had the qualifications for the assessment.

The sound of the sword is over.

Everyone's eyes fell on her, waiting for the assessment to begin.

Shao Xiaoli took it with one hand, his black hair hung down his waist, his expression was cold, and his eyebrows showed nobility.

She slowly closed her eyes and rolled out a hand, her voice tinged with some swaggering majesty, "The Divine Attendant obeys orders." ”

Ning Chang looked at her majestic and cold as an iceberg, and the scene of her begging for herself pitifully with a washboard after returning home already appeared in her mind.

He cooperated, saying "yes".

Shao Xiaoli secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the sky of the imperial city with a cold gaze.

And Ning Changjiu also looked at the sky as if he was connected by her spiritual power.

"Go. Shao Xiaoli snorted lightly and pointed out, pointing to the high courtyard wall of the palace.

Ning Chang seemed to be inspired, his figure flashed away, and soon came to the courtyard wall.

Shao Xiaoli moved his fingers, allowing his figure to shuttle back and forth between several points in the palace.

A quarter of an hour later, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and the girl's silver teeth clenched, as if she were slightly exhausted.

Shao Xiaoli closed her eyes vigorously, as if her spiritual power was being consumed sharply, and her fingers were also bent up spasmodically, trembling uncontrollably.

"Slash!" Shao Xiaoli forcibly raised his head, his originally slightly bent knees straightened up a little bit, and his trembling fingers condensed and wiped downward.

Ning Chang's body moved, swept past a wooden stake in the middle of the field, and after a few brushes, the stake broke into several pieces.

And this move seemed to be very exhausting, Shao Xiaoli pressed his fingers to his temples.

And the spiritual connection between them seems to have been severed.

After Ning Changjiu cut through the stake, he stood in place, as if he had lost control, and his eyes were slightly out of focus, looking blankly to both sides.

The Prime Minister stared at him with a gloomy gaze.

He suddenly raised his hand.

A severed wooden stake rose from the ground and smashed towards Ning Chang's back.

Ning Chang was alarmed, but he didn't make any reaction, allowing the stake to hit his back, and then being shattered by the sword intent he emanated.

"That's it. While the chief writer of the record shouted, the rest of the supervisors were not abnormal, nodded slightly, and cast an approving look at Shao Xiaoli.

Shao Xiaoli knelt on one knee and covered his mouth, as if he was extremely tired.

Only Ning Changjiu knew that she was secretly laughing.

Next up is the trip to the ghost prison.

Ning Chang couldn't understand why, like Zhao Guo, liked to build the most dangerous prison under the palace.

There are three levels of Ghost Prison Legends, and the further down you go, the more powerful the monsters are imprisoned.

Shao Xiaoli and Ning Changjiu came to the entrance of the ghost prison under the leadership of the Prime Minister.

"If you want to quit halfway, just crush this at any time. "The minister handed over a bamboo tube, which was similar to the size of the system used by the Sword Heavenly Sect.

Shao Xiaoli took the bamboo tube lightly, and then she and Ning Changchang slowly went deeper along the deep stone path.

Shao Xiaoli showed extraordinary calmness from beginning to end, as if what she was facing was not a group of evil ghosts at all, but some ants that could be pinched to death with a single move.

But Ning Changjiu knew that she was very flustered.

The hand holding his sleeve was still shaking, his heart was beating faster and faster, and his breathing was getting shorter and faster.

The gates of the ghost dungeon are all hidden.

Monsters that have been tortured to the point of becoming ghosts lurk in the depths of darkness, some curled up in corners out of fear, others hidden nearby by thirst for blood, waiting for an opportunity.

For the cultivators who come here, this is not only a hunting ground, can hone their swordsmanship at will, but at the same time, the roles of hunter and prey can also be quickly reversed.

"Alright, don't pretend. Ning Changchang said lightly.

Shao Xiaoli's tense spirit suddenly relaxed, her face collapsed, and her previous cold arrogance and self-confidence were gone, and she just drilled towards Ning Changjiu's side, as if she wanted to throw herself directly into his arms.

Ning Chang stretched out and pressed her forehead to prevent her from getting too close, so Shao Xiaoli's movements were a bit like the water of a drowning man.

Ning Chang looked around.

In the gloomy and dark prison, a pair of eyes like bats staring at them coldly from the depths of darkness.

Ning Changjiu also opened his sword eyes.

So that little bit of ghostly light outlined the specific form.

In the prison, most of them are monsters lying on the ground with four claws, long tails, and rows of sharp teeth in their mouths, their flesh and blood are more like sticky and muddy silt, and there is no skin to show the shape of the skin, they are half-lying on the ground, and their backs are raised like cheetahs, as if they are about to pounce at any moment.

Shao Xiaoli grabbed Ning Changjiu's arm that pressed his forehead, his heart was beating non-stop, and he didn't dare to look at them.

But for some reason, those monsters didn't attack rashly, but slowly stared at Ning Chang's steps moving into the depths, as if counting the beats of his walking.

On the cage of the steel prison, there are countless bite marks.

"Boss, where are you going, are you angry with me, you were just acting, after I go back, I'll make amends for your new research Jade Girl Fire Lotus after I go back......" Shao Xiaoli begged weakly, she opened her arms, as if she hoped that Ning would hold her for a long time.

Ning Chang was unmoved, but walked out into the depths.

"Boss, where are you going, you're so powerful, just swoop and kill them all, let's go out right away. Shao Xiaoli only felt that the wind was gusting, and it was very terrifying.

Ning Chang said: "Go to the next floor." ”

"What?!" Shao Xiaoli thought he had heard it wrong: "Boss, you're crazy!"

......

......

Outside the ghost prison, the chief writer stood beside the prime minister and asked uncertainly, "Can they come out?"

The minister nodded and asked rhetorically, "What do you think of their first assessment?"

After pondering, the main writer said: "There is nothing wrong with it. ”

The prime minister sighed and said to himself, "Really?"

The chief writer frowned and said, "What do you think?"

The Prime Minister looked at the entrance to the ghost dungeon, which was extremely hidden, and wondered, "I just don't understand why they haven't come out for so long. ”

The sky was already glowing with a twilight.

There was no sun in the sky, so the light seemed to be coming from the whole sky, but it was brighter in the west.

The chief writer glanced at the hourglass in his palm, and puzzled: "It's only been half an hour, according to the rules, it can't take an hour to come out, even if it's Kui Yuan." Why did the Prime Minister say that?"

The minister did not explain much to him.

In this young man, he noticed too many abnormalities, and the most shocking thing to him was the importance that Si Ming valued him.

Si Ming is a person in the city of Broken Boundaries who is more mysterious than the king.

Except for them, almost no one knew of Si Ming's existence.

Such a mysterious and beautiful woman, who is rarely born, came like an unpredictable prophet on that day, and brought with her the legendary divine revelation.

This is a major event that has not been seen in Broken City in a hundred years.

Little by little, the light is being pumped away.

A red lantern lit up in the royal city.

When the hour came, the door of the ghost prison opened by itself.

Ning Changjiu and Shao Xiaoli walked out of it, their clothes were snow-white and spotless, as if they were not going to a ghost prison, but a snow-capped field.

The prime minister narrowed his eyes.

He found that Shao Xiaoli's expression was slightly demented, as if he was frightened by something.

"Passed the assessment. The chief writer read it and took out a brand new booklet with Shao Xiaoli's name written on it.

The minister frowned and walked into the ghost prison.

As soon as he entered the door, a strong stench hit his face, and even he couldn't believe the scene in front of him.

On the ground of the ghost prison, there are all kinds of corpses, these corpses seem to be intact, and only by careful observation can you find the wounds, those wounds are the same, they are all neat and neat swords.

He walked deeper, looking at the shocking, red, black liquid on the ground, and his heart tightened little by little.

He didn't know how the young man in white did it.

And even if he knew that Ning Chang was extraordinary, he still couldn't think of what happened in the ghost prison at this hour.

In Wang Chengzhong, Shao Xiaoli and Ning Changjiu walked home together.

When she came to the door, Shao Xiaoli took out the key, but her hands trembled, and she couldn't lock the hole accurately after inserting it many times in a row.

"I'll do it. Ning Chang spread out his hands.

Shao Xiaoli usurped the key in his palm.

She turned her head, and there seemed to be a glint of water in her somewhat timid eyes, which was not from emotion, but from fear.

She opened her mouth and asked, "Is it ...... What the hell did it say to you?"

Even the minister didn't expect that at this hour, Ning Changjiu would break through many barriers and go to the third layer of the ghost prison alone.

He saw the deepest part of the darkness, imprisoned in the ghost prison for hundreds of years, the most evil and powerful ghost, the ghost was entwined with countless chains, and the shape was not identified, Shao Xiaoli just glanced at it from a distance, and then felt a headache and kept retching, and finally, she vaguely heard the evil ghost say something to Ning Changjiu.

That's a syllable.

Ning Chang took her hand, broke her fingers, took the key, and opened the door with ease, repeating the syllable as he pushed the door in.

"Shura. ”

......
