The meandering Red River surrounds the Southern Wilderness, turning it into a Dead Sea that no one else can enter.

The cities and towns are boats anchored beyond the Dead Sea.

Ning Chang married Lu and the wind and snow, the sword crossed tens of thousands of mountains and rivers, every time the sword was a few days, after the boat and car were tired, they found a small town inn to rest for the night.

This world is too vast, and countless continuous peaks, high gorges and deep valleys are natural barriers, surrounding ordinary people between several cities and countries all their lives, and at the same time, those mountains and rivers that are difficult for the Purple Court Realm to cross with a sword, I don't know how many ruins remain, and how many fierce gods that have never been recorded in history.

And those towns and villages are scattered among them, like pearls in the palms of huge hands.

"There's a question I've been thinking about these days. Lu Yuyao slowly walked on the empty mud road, looked at the new snow on the wall, and spoke leisurely.

"What?" Ning Chang looked at the side of her face.

Lu Marry said softly: "I'm wondering, if it weren't for you, would I be able to get out of the imperial city alive?"

Ning Chang said: "There is no point in thinking about this. ”

Lu Marryed: "I just think it's terrible. ”

This is the more I think about it, the more terrible it becomes, if the self in another life is really dead, then is the previous life fake, or is this life fake?

Ning Changjiu reached out and pinched her cheek, and said, "What are you afraid of? Am I also really dead?"

"Huh?" Lu Xiangyu reacted after a brief period of doubt.

Yes, it is unknown whether he will survive or not, but Ning Changjiu was actually killed by his master.

Lu married a little relieved in his heart, maybe this is also the reason why they fell in love so much.

She bent her eyes and smiled: "Don't worry, you have met a good master in this life, and I will not stab you." ”

Ning Changjiu also smiled: "If you dare to stab me, then I will definitely arrest you and stab you every day after I reincarnate." ”

Lu Marry's eyes condensed slightly, ignoring him, and just asked coldly: "By the way, how beautiful is your master in your previous life?"

Ning Changchang said sincerely: "I can't remember, but my appearance and temperament should be quite similar to that of marriage." ”

"It's very similar?" Lu Marry said curiously: "Could it be that I am the reincarnation of your master?"

Ning Changchang thought deeply and said: "No wonder I am avenging the sword of my previous life every night. ”

After saying that, Ning Changjiu felt the sudden killing intent around him.

The people of the small town heard the thunderclap of thunder on a sunny day.

They pushed the door open and looked up at the sky.

The wind and snow overhead were swept away, and above, there seemed to be a white dragon transiting, and two rainbow shadows chased one after the other, running into the distance.

......

The weather is getting colder, and the winter snow is getting heavier.

More than a month later, they finally came to the end of Southstate.

The villages are isolated, the city and the country are cut off, although it is the same Nanzhou, but the geography and customs are two completely different worlds compared with the Zhao country.

A few days ago, they passed by a village and even saw the sacrifice of five or six-year-old girls to the river god.

In the middle of winter, they wrapped a little girl in her jacket and pushed her into the ice.

Ning Chang stopped them and asked them why they were doing this, and they said that if there were no sacrifices, the river god would be angry and would kill the entire village.

Ning Changjiu and Lu couldn't bear it, so they entered the water together, and it took three days and nights, and they beheaded more than 30 river demons before they finally stopped.

But they also know that such a thing cannot really be eradicated.

The closer you get to the sea of bad luck, the more you make a living sacrifice to the river god.

Perhaps there is really some kind of luck in the sea that makes the water monsters in a radius of thousands of miles particularly rampant.

After coming to the end of Nanzhou, Ning Changjiu did not immediately go to the "Sea of No Luck" that separated Middle-earth from Nanzhou, but turned east and went to another place.

It was the valley he climbed out of after Broken Border.

Ning Chang followed his memory and found it in the vast wind and snow.

He stood on the cliff and looked into the distance.

"That's where I first stepped into the Purple Court. Ning Changchang said.

It was also there that he was stabbed by the little girl in the Heart Demon Tribulation, and almost died directly.

Fortunately, Si ordered to make a move.

Lu Marrying asked, "Have you walked the entire distance of the Southern Wilderness in Broken Boundary City?"

Ning Chang nodded and said, "The fault of time over there should be buried under the entire Southern Wilderness, and on top of it, there is a broken divine kingdom pressed. Of course, none of this can be seen on the surface. ”

Lu Married jumped up gently, and the wind and snow under her feet were like a boat, carrying her leisurely into the deep valley.

Ning Chang followed.

Lu asked the marry, "What about the well you came out of?"

Ning Chang said: "The entrance to Broken Boundary City should be due east of here, far away from here. ”

Lu married and said, "I want to go and see." ”

Ning Chang shook his head and said, "No need, if you want to go and see it, it's another whole day's journey." And the well can't be found again after it comes out, just like the peach blossom paradise in the story. ”

Lu Married looked at the valley buried by the wind and snow, nodded slightly, and asked, "Then where are we going now?"

Ning Chang shook his head and said: "Although the sea of no luck is not as big as Nanzhou, if you want to cross it, it will be ten days and a half months away, if you are tired and have no place to stay, let's take a boat to go over." ”

Lu married and nodded in agreement.

There are many large cities in the port connecting Nanzhou and Middle-earth, and the sculptures of the gods of the river and the sea can be seen everywhere, and there are several huge ships parked in the sea from afar, and they are far away from each other, as if they have also formed a city on the sea.

The sea of bad luck is still rough in the cold of winter, and the emerald waves roll in the water, swallowing the snow falling in the sky.

It was late at night when Ning Changjiu and Lu got married.

They stood in the rutted streets, and the statues of the water gods stood on the shore, hideous and terrifying, like giant sea monsters fighting the waves.

"There seems to be a god ......in charge of the rivers and seas among the ancient gods in the beginning," Lu married and recalled the records in the book.

Ning Chang nodded and said, "Well, Xuan Ze." It was one of the six gods in the mythological story, and later Xuanze fought with the candle dragon, defeated, and in ten years, the sea in the world was steamed, and all souls were devastated. ”

"The sea in the world is steamed...... Lu married and said, "Is there really such a powerful god in the world?"

"Steaming up the water of the rivers and seas is not a great move, if according to the legend, even the golden crow has done it, let alone say that it is a candle dragon. Ning Changchang said with a smile: "In mythology and history, the candle dragon is the only true god who occupies the world in chaos and before the great god opens the world. ”

It's no secret that this myth is widespread.

"Your golden crow is indeed a little smaller. Lu Married listened quietly and smiled suddenly.

She tugged at her breast, looked at the behemoth ships, and her mind drifted away.

Ning Chang stood quietly with her and watched the snow.

Although the two of them talked and laughed all the way along the way, they were close to Middle-earth, imagining the huge land far away from the ocean, and they couldn't help but have doubts in their hearts.

"By the way, isn't that Si Ming also in Middle-earth?" Lu asked the marry.

Ning Chang hummed without changing his face, and said, "If there is fate, maybe you can meet." ”

Lu Zhenmari nodded lightly: "She's really a monster with a blue face and fangs?"

Ning Chang stiffened his head and said, "It's true." ”

Lu Married looked at him and nodded suspiciously.

Ning Chang turned his head with a smile and said, "It's cold outside, Master go back to the room to rest first, and the apprentice will sleep for you." ”

Lu Marry Qing looked at him coldly and reprimanded: "Can you look a little decent?"

"Why isn't the Hehuan Sect a decent family?" Ning Changjiu argued.

Lu Yuyu rubbed the snow and smashed it.

In the distance, a huge building ship docked at night, boxes of goods were unloaded from it, and many people were running in the wind and snow.

After they chased after each other, Ning Changjiu approached her from behind, took a hot breath into his palm, and gently covered Lu Married's ears.

They walked slowly into the city in the darkness of the night.

Suddenly, Ning Changjiu stopped and looked not far away.

"And the one who transports the coffin?" Ning Changchang was slightly puzzled.

......

In the early morning of the next day, when the heavy snow stopped, Ning Changjiu and Lu got married and boarded the boat.

The price of the boat trip is expensive, but fortunately, the land wedding plate is abundant. She also often blames herself, after she became the sect master, she didn't do anything practical in the sect, and spent all the money in the sect.

Ning Changjiu disagreed: "Spending money on a disciple is an investment in the future of the Sword Heavenly Sect. ”

"Well, then I paid myself in. Lu was even more sad when she heard it.

The ship swallowed tens of thousands of pounds of seawater, slowly breaking the waves, and sailed in the direction of Middle-earth.

The building ship splits the water, and the faster and faster it goes, the speed is not even inferior to the flight of the sword, and it only takes half a month to reach Middle-earth.

There are all kinds of fish and dragons on the boat, and the goods sold by the vendors are much more expensive than those outside.

In their room, Lu married the void on her shoulders, took out her bags, folded those clean clothes and put them in the cabinet. Ning Changjiu hung a few new swords bought on the road in the nearest position, so that he could deal with sudden changes at any time.

Lu married and sat on the chair by the wall after arranging her clothes, her waist twisted slightly, and her clear eyes fell on the hanging paintings on the wall.

The painting depicts a giant kraken, which looks like thousands of snakes twisted into knots. Half of its massive body sank into the sea, its exposed head cracked with sharp teeth across its skull.

There is also an introduction to it on the side of the hanging painting, and Lu married and read it. Those who go to sea refer to it collectively as sea devils.

"The monsters of the sea are not as beautiful as those on the ground. Lu said in marriage.

Ning Changchang smiled, and he said: "It can't be generalized, it is said that there is a kind of mermaid in the seawater, which is naturally beautiful. ”

Lu Marry's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "No wonder you don't want to take a boat if you don't want to control the sword." ”

Ning Chang sighed, thinking that his master was really getting harder and harder to serve.

Lu Yuyao sat upright on a chair and handed over a wooden comb.

He deftly took the comb and walked behind her, ruffling his long hair.

The wooden teeth trickle into the hair and gently slide down, and the ends of the hair are graceful like water.

"There shouldn't be anything happening on this sea, right?" Lu Wedding looked at the vast and turbulent sea water outside the window, and was faintly worried.

No matter what level of cultivation a person is, he or she cannot see the scenery in the clear water with his eyes, so many people have an innate fear of the unknown deep sea.

Ning Chang said: "The sea in winter is always quieter, not to mention that most of the truly powerful creatures in the water are from the dragon clan, since the death of the ancestral dragon, after several catastrophes, dragons have gradually disappeared in the world, even those second-level dragons are rare." ”

Lu Marry sighed and said, "Of course I'm not afraid of any dragons, but if you are by my side, you may encounter something." ”

......

......

Each ship has its own name, and this one is called Haiyue, which is one of the largest of the ships.

The deck was bustling with people, but the unknown inner cabin below was dark. In the darkness, two shadows faintly shuttled back and forth.

They were all dressed in black robes, with swords entwined with silver threads, and a red logo on the right side of their robes.

In the passageway, one after another huge coffins made of black and red wood were carried down.

The coffins were sturdy and heavy.

They were pulled into the ship's hidden inner compartment and placed in a row. Then the faint light looked at it, and there were hundreds of coffins parked here, to say the least.

"I don't know if there's anything that works. The fingers in the heavy black robe stroked it, and said with a sigh.

"It's good to complete the tasks assigned by the master, success or failure is not something we should care about. "Another humane.

"Hmm. ”

"It's better to be careful, it is said that the Luo Shulou side is already paying attention to our movements. ”

"Luo Shulou?" The black-robed man was slightly shocked: "Why did Shenlou know about this?"

"It's just news, I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Luoshulou is one of the four major god towers in China, they are located in the four corners of Shenzhou, the southwest is Luoshulou, the southeast is the ethereal building, the northeast is the hanging sea building, and the northwest is the god painting building.

The owner of the four divine towers is a person who is more mysterious than the Sword Saint of the Sword Pavilion.

The gods recorded a thousand years of history, and so did the ones they guarded.

Those landlords seem to have as much history as they do.

The black-robed man pondered the three words of Luo Shulou, sighed, and said: "Don't worry, don't bother yourself, as far as I know, Luo Shulou is restoring the history of five hundred years ago, and when it comes to a critical moment, he will not pay attention to the movement outside." What's more, there is a lot of movement in the Valley of the Divine Rift now, and many people are looking at it. ”

"What about the Killing Court?"

"A bunch of killer maniacs...... Compared to them, you should pay more attention to the side of the Turbulent God Sect, although they are not moving, they are too close to the place of recovery......"

The Turbulent Sect is also one of the Eight Great Divine Sects of Middle-earth.

"Don't think about that, I'll check if there is anything wrong with this batch of sacrifices first. ”

"Hmm. ”

The man took the order and quietly withdrew.

The conversation ended in the dark.

The light that wasn't bright lit up.

One by one, the coffin boards slipped open.

The heaviest mass in the coffin is ice.

The ice, without a hint of variegation, filled the coffin, reflecting the burgundy light in the lamplight, and the cold mist that rose from the noise was swept away by a dry palm.

The man in the black cloak leaned down, his eyes in the darkness piercing through the clear ice, and looked indifferently at the little girl frozen in the ice.

The little girls looked to be about six or seven years old, and they all wore the same golden robes, and their pale skin was divine.

They lay in the ice, their hair, eyelashes, and blood vessels were extremely clear, and their hearts seemed to be beating, but they were like statues that were sleeping forever, and their expressions were as quiet as death.

One by one, the heavy coffin boards slid open.

The figure of the black-robed man did not fluctuate, he was like water flowing across the floor, floating through one coffin after another.

In order to make the mission smooth and not attract the attention of the Middle Earth Sect, these little girls were still brought from Nanzhou.

One of them will have the honor of becoming a future deity, while the rest will only become unconscious spirit servants.

The black-robed man was not satisfied with this group of little girls.

When it was pushed to the sixty-fourth coffin board, the figure of the black-robed man was still.

"Huh?" he couldn't help but whisper.

The little girl in the coffin is gone, and all that remains in it is the broken ice of the coffin!

The black-robed man was stunned.

Of course, he didn't believe that these ordinary little girls could wake up on their own and break through the ice to escape.

His first reaction was that their long-planned plan had been discovered, and the man, as if he didn't want to confront them head-on, stole one of the containers as a dismount.

There's a good chance this container is the best of all the little girls.

Luo Shulou?Turbulent Divine Sect?Or ......

The black-robed man looked at the coffin full of broken ice, and his face was faintly reflected in the broken ice.

He stuck his dry fingers into the ice.

Under the pitch-black robe, the strange pupils lit up, glowing with scarlet light, and in the center of the pupils, the eyes looked like nails nailed inside—they were demon pupils.

Through the demon pupils, the black-robed man could clearly see that these frozen seas were left with the little girl's hair and hair.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that he had made a great mistake.

Late.

The scabbard at his waist was empty, and a piece of cold steel peeked out from front of him.

The sword qi silently exploded in his body, shattering his internal organs.

A small immature hand pressed his back and pushed it gently.

The black-robed man collapsed in the coffin, the pure ice stained with blood as a crystal red.

The coffin closed silently.

In the darkness, the little girl's giggles rang out.

......

......

The cold spell of the Sea of No Luck came on the fourth day.

Finally, after a few days of clearing, the sky began to snow again.

Lu married and stood by the wooden window, with a jade crown and silver hairpin, a picturesque sword dress, a graceful ponytail hanging down, revealing a slender jade neck, and the skin at the back collar was as delicate as ivory.

She stood still, her tall figure was slender and slender, Ning Chang saw her every day, and felt that she was like a sword that would not be contaminated with dust, no matter when she pulled it out, it was always clear and still the same, just like when she first saw her.

She watched the sea swallow the snow like hailstones, and Ning Chang watched her quietly.

"Sometimes, monasticism is like a boat on the ocean. Ning Chang said.

Lu asked if she asked, "What is your opinion?"

Ning Changchang smiled and said, "Because no one knows what is hidden under the seemingly gentle surface of the water." ”

Lu asked the marry: "Are you also afraid of the sea?"

Ning Changjiu shook his head slightly, he looked at the ceiling, and said, "I'm afraid of the sky." ”

Lu Marry's eyes were tactful, and his smile was shallow: "I think you are afraid of your master, right?"

Ning Changjiu got up and surrounded her from behind, "What's so scary about Shizun?"

"Presumptuous!" Lu Wedding grabbed his hand.

The sea breeze was howling outside, but it was calm inside.

They looked at the sea of snow with huge waves outside, and a trace of worry slipped through their hearts.

The change happened an hour later.

The waiter went from house to house as usual to ask if he wanted to use the food, and he had just knocked on the wooden door of Ning Chang's room when the steamer made a cracking sound.

The huge building ship that was cleaving the waves on the sea did not know what it had encountered, and was forced to stop.

Chaos arose on the ship.

In a short period of time, many cultivators who had cultivated well on the building ship had already broken out of the window with their swords.

Ning Changjiu and Lu Marry glanced at each other, and they quickly raised their swords and went out.

Outside the ship, the tide has risen on the wall.

It was even higher than a ship, white as snow, like the palm of a god's hand.

The storm came very suddenly.

Ning Changjiu and Lu did not hesitate to marry, and the two swords slashed out like dragons, intersecting in the air, turning into the same turbulent wave and sweeping up.

The sword qi exploded in the water curtain.

When the tide that rose from the wall actually fell on the ship, there was only a drizzle left.

Between the sword qi, they joined forces to shatter several waves of sea tides, but what followed was something even more terrifying.

Everyone heard the singing.

It was a whimpering song, coming from far away from the waves, and anger erupted in mourning.

"Look there!"

On the boat, someone exclaimed, and then more exclamations rang out.

"What's that?"

"It's a sea devil...... It must be a sea devil! Hide back in the room!"

"No, it's like a mermaid...... What about the shipowner's enshrined monks?"

Ning long-term prestige.

In the midst of the waves, a smooth, scaly back arches through the water, revealing a huge shadow hidden beneath the water's surface.

There was more than one such giant shadow, they poured out from all directions, cutting through the water like the back of a mountain, their scales were huge shield scales, the surface was rough but hard, and the bulges of the scales created huge turbulence as they swam, and when they moved at high speed, they stirred up the nearby waters into chaos, and even formed one small whirlpool after another.

Ning Chang suddenly missed the Sword Sutra a little, if it was still in the sea of knowledge, he would introduce its origin at this moment.

In the crowd, a man in black with long hair looked at the dragons in the seawater, and his expression was shocked: "Dragon robbery?"

Why are they here?

The man in black immediately put on his hood, and he ignored the dragons that were walking around the road, but went straight to the secret cabin of the building ship.

He walked quickly into the chamber, only to find that the fires in the chamber had all been extinguished, and at the same time, the pungent smell of blood came over.

At that moment, an ominous premonition hung over his heart, and the man didn't think about it, and immediately turned around, but it was also too late.

On the back of the door, a knife stabbed him, directly piercing his lower abdomen.

The man only felt that his whole body was covered in ice.

He turned his head, trying to see his assassin clearly.

But he didn't see anything.

His body was dragged in.

The door closes again.

A pair of small cotton shoes stepped up the stairs.

The soles of her shoes were soft and warm, and they were given to her by a woman crying before she was sacrificed to the river god.

As she stepped out of the cabin, the dragons that had been pouring out of the sea had already begun to poke out their jagged heads, roaring and singing against the raging snow in the angry waters.

Dragons are called dragons because they can artificially cause everyone who hears the song to fall into it.

It was a kind of illusion similar to the Inner Demon Tribulation.

The victim will lose himself and then step by step to the side of the boat, leap into the water, and become food for the dragon.

The psychedelic song had already sounded, but the little girl was not affected at all, she opened her arms, and the cold sea breeze caressed her gently.

Her expression was quiet and pleasant, like that of a listener.

This feeling didn't last long.

Suddenly, she raised an eyebrow and looked to the side.

There were two sword qi lit up.

In her pupils, there was an instant of murderous intent.

......

......

(From today onwards, I try to add a smaller chapter in the early hours of every morning~)
