The Return of the Nine Dead Southern Desolate Souls Chapter Eighty-Three: The Brightest Star in the Night Sky
Tonight is like the canopy of the sky is broken, blowing down countless jade shavings, the strange stones of the Tiandong Peak are built with snow, piled up into white jade, during which the dead wood becomes a Qiong tree, and the plum blossom snow lotus opens, it is even more faint and cold.
Ning Changchang and Ning Xiaoling walked to the peak together.
Ning Xiaoling was wearing a cotton skirt, wrapped in a jacket, took a hot breath, and rubbed her little hands.
Ning Changchang was still wearing the thin white clothes, but on his back, he carried a wooden box, and he didn't know what was inside.
Heavy snow blows like goose feathers.
"Senior brother, many people are looking at us......" Ning Xiaoling said a little worriedly.
Ning Chang glanced at the snow cliff at the bottom of the peak, and people walked out one after another, holding an umbrella to block the snow, the umbrella was tilted, and his eyes looked at the figure on the snow cliff over the night, pointing at something.
For disciples of the same generation, it is also a kind of secret competition to see who can light up the stars higher up, so usually after one disciple is ready to light the sword star, the rest of the disciples also like to come and watch.
And Ning Xiaoling is a celebrity in the peak, in the snow field sword listening meeting a few days ago, he won the third place, this kind of envy of others' talent is extremely dazzling, so that the male disciples love and make the female disciples envious, when everyone discussed privately, they guessed when Ning Xiaoling was going to ignite the sword star and receive that sword intent inheritance.
After hearing that Ning Xiaoling was going to ignite the Sword Star tonight, many people's expectations came true, and they naturally ran out as soon as possible.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that her named senior brother from the outer gate actually came with her, and he stood beside her shamelessly.
"What is he doing here? Could it be that he has also entered the Xuan and stimulated the sword fire?" Yun Xue stared at the figure, very dissatisfied.
Le Rou put on a thick coat and hurriedly ran out, after seeing the two figures on the snow cliff, her brows furrowed suddenly, and she snorted, "This Ning Changjiu is really a villain, at this time, he didn't forget to come out and get wet, what are you doing standing there, cheering for Ning Xiaoling......?"
Xu Weiran comforted: "Maybe Senior Brother Ning is also here to light up the Sword Star, if the Senior Brother secretly cultivates a Xuanzhong Realm, maybe he can really light up a shorter Sword Star." ”
Le Rou said dissatisfiedly: "Entering the Xuanzhong Realm? How can he enter the Xuanzhong, how can he enter the Xuanzhong, how can he really enter the Xuanzhongjing...... Dressed like a cabbage, if he can light up the sword star, I will also find a cabbage to swallow raw!"
"Senior sister doesn't have to be like this......" Of course, Yun Xue didn't believe that Ning Changjiu could light up the sword star, after all, this was something that violated the laws of cultivation, he just remembered another thing, and whispered: "Senior sister Le Rou, if you really let Ning Xiaoling light a star that is about the same height as Nan Cheng, then what can you do? Wouldn't your status in the rivers and lakes in the peak be ......?"
Le Rou snorted coldly, and said with some confidence: "When did our Heavenly Cave Peak pay attention to the path of cultivation first? Otherwise, why do we have to call Uncle Shi every time we see Lu Yuanbai?"
Lu Yuanbai, who was standing behind him and had listened to it with relish, silently turned around and left, found a secluded place to sit down, untied the wine jug on his waist and took a sip of warm-up wine.
Somehow, how is today's wine a little bitter.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the top of the snow cliff, transferred that anger to Ning Changjiu, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's a big night again, and it's such a ghost weather, and I have a big box on my back, what do you want to do? Don't you know that the colder the weather, the faster the sword fire will cool? If you don't want to order it yourself, forget it, what about your sister......
Not long after, Lu married and came with a sword.
The disciple ignited the sword star and obtained the inheritance of sword intent is one of the major events of the Heavenly Cave Peak, and the master must be on the side to take care of it in case of accidents.
Lu married a sword trick and spread out a space, and the heavy snow was cut outside, and no piece could fall into the sword domain.
She looked at Ning Xiaoling and Changchang and asked, "Are you sure?"
Ning Xiaoling and Ning Changjiu hummed together.
Lu married and glared at Ning Changjiu: "What are you?"
Ning Xiaoling explained: "Senior brother is also a disciple of Fengzhong, so he should also have the qualifications to light up the sword star." ”
Lu married and said: "Yes, yes, it's just ......"
She looked at Ning Changjiu's face and said suspiciously, "Are you really ready?"
Ning Changjiu nodded and said, "I've been preparing for a long time, so there should be no problem." ”
Lu Zaimari looked at the box he was carrying on his back, frowned, and said with a cold expression: "The rules in the peak, to ignite the sword star, you must use the aura to stimulate the sword element, and use the sword yuan to ignite the fireworks, and convey it to the sword star. ”
Ning Chang nodded and said, "I have seen the rules, and I have always followed the rules." ”
Lu was silent for a while, and said, "Open the things on your back and let me take a look." ”
Ning Changjiu didn't shy away from it, untied the box, and opened it when it was the wedding of the landing.
Ning Xiaoling knew what was inside, so she covered her face before the box was opened and pinned it to the side.
Sure enough, after the box was opened, Lu Married's face was also a little exciting, she stared at the box, her expression changed, and asked, "What are you doing with this big bundle of firewood? Do you want to use the flying sword to send them to the sword star one by one, pile them into a pile, and then light them with sword fire? Or do you want to build a ladder to climb higher?"
Ning thought for a long time and said, "I did think about sending them up with a flying sword, but not only is the surface of the Sword Star smooth and difficult to fix firewood, but the surrounding air is also relatively thin, even if you want to light the firewood on it, it is not easy. As for the latter, it's also a good idea, but it's a little troublesome. ”
The disciples under the snow cliff also saw this scene from a distance and discussed it in a low voice.
"What's in that box?"
"It's like a bunch of ...... The sharp-eyed disciple said incredulously, "He wants to build a bonfire and dance around?"
"Hmph, who knows, country man, I overestimated him before. ”
Lu Married Hearing him finish unhurriedly, he glanced at the box again, and confirmed that it was really ordinary firewood, Lu Married Marriage's chest rose and fell, and after calming down his emotions, he snorted coldly and said, "What do you like to do, I don't bother to care about you, but if it's too embarrassing, I'm afraid I will have to take you to the outer peak." ”
She didn't give Ning Changjiu a chance to reopen her mouth, and immediately said, "You two, who will come first?"
Ning Xiaoling took a step forward and volunteered, "Master, I'll come first." ”
Lu married a pleased look at her, and said softly: "Xiaoling, you break through the realm too quickly, it is inevitable that the foundation is not strong, sending the sword fire to the sword star is a great drain on spiritual power, if you don't support it, you must not force it, it's not worth it to recuperate for a few months after breaking your body." ”
"Master, Xiao Ling is measured. ”
Ning Xiaoling saluted respectfully, then untied the saber at her waist and slowly drew it, and in the sound of the friction between the sword and the sheath, the girl turned her back and walked forward.
The conversation under the snow cliff became quieter, Le Rou clenched her fists, staring nervously at Ning Xiaoling's back, she hoped that Ning Xiaoling would choose an extremely high star without knowing the sky, and then unfortunately failed, but also hoped that Ning Xiaoling would not choose too high, in case she was lucky, she was afraid that her position in the master's heart would really not be able to be kept......
"Senior brother, are you ready?" Ning Xiaoling turned his head and looked at him a little nervously.
Ning Chang said: "Just pick what you like." ”
Ning Xiaoling nodded vigorously, she raised the sword in her hand, and the tip of the sword moved slowly like a compass, as if aiming at something.
The hand holding the sword between the sleeves of Lu Wedding's wedding dress was slightly forced.
She looked at the direction that Ning Xiaoling's sword tip was pointing in a little uncertain.
Although there are high and low sword stars, there is not much difference in the inheritance of sword intent, and lighting up the stars at higher places is often just a symbol of talent and realm.
And at this moment, Ning Xiaoling is only in the mystery, and what the tip of her sword is pointing at is actually a sword star that may not be able to reach the fairy realm vaguely.
"Xiao Ling, don't act impulsively, you use the sword fire to ignite the star, even if it is ignited, if you are not defeated by the sword armor projected by the sword star, you will still be counterattacked. Lu married reminded loudly.
Ning Xiaoling stared at the star, just like staring at his beloved sugar gourd on the street when he was a child.
"That's it. Ning Xiaoling said softly.
She held her sword steadily.
The sea of qi in the body churned like a volcano swallowing lava, and the heart spurted thin blood.
A fire instantly lit up at the central axis of the sword, it was a fiery entangled line of fire, and after it lit up, it shot upwards at high speed, instantly crossed the tip of the sword, rushed into the wind and snow at a faster speed, and shot straight towards an extremely high place.
Everyone looked in the direction of the line of fire, and their hearts were shocked.
The position where the sword star hangs is extremely high, and it is not too big, even if it is ignited, it is estimated that it will not get much sword intent inheritance, which is obviously a thankless job, but ......
Many people quickly understood in their hearts that Ning Xiaoling didn't care about any sword intent inheritance at all, she just wanted to choose a star that others didn't dare to choose and didn't want to choose.
How arrogant...... Is this a genius, no wonder as soon as she entered the mountain gate, the master valued her so much, and even her empty senior brother made an exception to arrange it next door to her.
Alas, if it weren't for her senior brother delaying her cultivation every day, the junior sister's realm would have been more solid and reliable now.
In the fierce wind and snow, the fire line drastically reduced the temperature.
The night of heavy snow is the hardest time to ignite the sword star.
Sure enough, although the sword fire was violently castrated, after reaching a certain height, as the speed of the aura to stimulate the sword element was limited, and the distance that needed to be transmitted became farther and farther, the speed of the sword fire was visibly slower and slower.
Ning Xiaoling gritted her teeth, and changed from holding a sword with one arm to holding a sword with two arms.
Then, with the massive consumption of spiritual power, her arms began to tremble, as if what she was holding in her hand was no longer a sword, but a huge axe as heavy as a thousand pounds.
The whole sword was already on fire.
Outside the silver edge, there were blazing fireworks that were a little white.
And that sword fire was still advancing all the time, although the speed was getting slower and slower, and Ning Xiaoling also felt that his sea of qi was about to boil, and the heat wave in his entire chest cavity was surging, as if it was about to explode from it.
She knew that the sensation was an illusion, but the suffocating pain tormented her all the time, as if it was about to crush her body to the ground.
Ning Xiaoling stared at her sword, her vision blurred.
She wasn't sure if the sword fire was still in progress, or if it had begun to regress and could no longer reach the sword star she had chosen, but she kept trying.
The will sprayed, the sea of qi, the door of the purple mansion opened, a snow-white fox condensed in front of her chest, jumped on her arm, and a pair of pink and tender meat pads also put on the hilt of the sword.
On that terrifying night, when she faced Ning Baoshui, she summoned her innate spirit and mobilized the strength of her whole body, but she was also instantly dispersed by the other party.
For countless hours after waking up, in the face of the influence and pollution of the demon seed from time to time, she had no way to cut off the connection between the spirit and the demon seed, and she didn't even have the courage to tell her senior brother about it, for fear of being killed.
On the night of the assassin's night attack, when the arrow was imminent, she almost gave up control of her body completely, allowing the demon species to directly occupy the soul.
And on the day of Zhao Xiang'er's birthday banquet, the blood arrow had obviously been dispersed and turned into such a slow blood rain, and she didn't even dodge it......
This kind of unwillingness to be weak, the desire for strength, the hatred for the enemy, and the shame for the relatives tormented her over and over again, and in this node where time seemed to have slowed down countless times, she swept through the sea of knowledge one by one.
"Ah!!h
Ning Xiaoling suddenly raised her head, her neck stretched out, like a snow fox hissing.
The innate spirit also screamed with her roar.
In the dark sky, there was a bang, like a spark splashing into the dry grass, and the night was instantly lit up, and the dazzling light instantly illuminated the snow like day.
Lu Yu's tense body finally relaxed, and the corners of his lips hooked, revealing a smile of relief.
Under the snow cliff, the disciples who witnessed the whole process of the sword fire passing through the wind and snow, after seeing it staggering forward, many times almost extinguished, but they still arrived at the sword star step by step, and the moment the dark night was lit up, with the ups and downs of the sword fire, the heart was also irrepressibly excited, many male disciples had already sheathed the sword, chanting the name of the little junior sister, even Le Rou, who had always been hostile to her, after seeing this scene, clenched her fists and let go, although she was still unconvinced in her heart, but she also clapped her hands for her.
The sudden bright light faded and stabilized into a shining star.
Ning Chang raised his head, looked at the star, and suddenly remembered what his other self had said.
"What a sea of dead stars...... "Ning Changjiu laughed softly.
After the sword star was ignited, there was a quick feedback, and a light also fell, the difference was that this light was holy and pure, shining on the snow flat a few feet in front of Ning Xiaoling, almost a perfect circle.
In the middle of the circle, a pair of ancient vicissitudes of armor emerged, the helmet was made of several curved iron plates, there were fierce beast patterns in front of the forehead, the iron armor from top to bottom, neck and arm guards, breastplate and abdominal armor, and belt armor skirts were all available, but it was pitch black, empty, and there was no soldier's figure, but the iron armor was still like a veteran who had fought on the battlefield for many years, majestic and silent, and the iron sword in his hand was extremely wide, like a token that had been guarded for thousands of years.
As long as the Starburner enters that field of light, he will start the battle with the sword armor, and after defeating the sword armor, he will be able to obtain the sword intent inheritance left by the ancestor.
Ning Xiaoling didn't immediately walk into that light domain, her arm loosened, the tip of her sword fell, and she plunged into the thick snow.
Then she supported her body with her sword, turned around slowly, and looked at Ning Changjiu.
"Senior brother......" she said softly.
Lu married and also looked at Ning Changchang.
The mood of the disciples under the snow cliff gradually calmed down, they looked at the eyes of the master and the junior sister, and they also invariably fell on Ning Changjiu's body, thinking incredibly that this outer disciple really wanted to ignite the sword star?
Ning Changjiu nodded at his junior sister, then picked up the wooden box and walked over.
