Chapter 303: The Appointment with His Highness the Nine Shadows

Jiuyou stood in front of them, with a large stack of ugly papers piled up in front of her, and after she finished speaking, she looked at them with a serious expression, with a look of hope that you would not be ignorant, and obediently cooperate with me to restore the glory of the underworld.

"When the time comes, I will become the lord of the underworld, and I will make you a priest and a heavenly king. When the time comes, as long as you have a loved one who dies, I will help you get her out. Jiuyou proposed angrily: "In the future, we will rely here as bullies, and no one can control us!"

Ning Chang looked at Jiuyou and said, "Although the spirit is unbounded, the place that the outside world can reach is much wider than that of the underworld, even if we go out, where will we go to find authority for you?"

Jiuyou thought about it, cheered up, and said, "There will always be a way!"

"......" Ning Chang thought to himself that there are still three hundred days left, can't you have a sense of urgency?

Jiuyou scratched his head, pointed to the big bookshelf behind him, and said, "Actually...... Actually, I seem to have seen a little solution somewhere, but I can't remember it, so I'll look through the book later!"

Ning Chang looked at the vast sea of books behind her, sighed, and said, "What have you been doing in the past two thousand years?"

Jiuyou puffed out his cheeks and was also very annoyed, but he couldn't think of a good way.

Ning Xiaoling silently raised her hand and said, "I have questions." ”

"What does Senior Sister want to ask?" Ning Chang's tone softened.

Ning Xiaoling said: "If I put a wisp of my soul here, how can I go back?

Ning Xiaoling was a little scared, when she chatted with Han Xiaosu before, she knew how cramped and uncomfortable life was in the small bottle.

Jiuyou said uncertainly: "You now have the luck of the underworld, and you hold the authority of the underworld, what kind of porcelain bottle can accommodate you as a great god." ”

Ning Xiaoling said: "Then what should I do? If you don't let me go back, how can I help you collect authority?"

"Sister Xiaoling, don't be anxious!"

"Who's your sister......"

"Actually, the things that can contain your divine soul don't need to be too harsh, as long as they are of the same origin as you, and at least have the physique of a demigod. Jiuyou smiled and said, "Doesn't it sound difficult?"

Homology...... Demigod Body......

It doesn't sound like there are many conditions, but the fact is that now that I have searched the whole world, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find a dead Wudao big fox...... It has to be a mother!

Ning Xiaoling rubbed her face and said, "You better let me go, my senior brother and I are both honest!"

"Do you think I'm a child?" Jiuyou said sarcastically: "Your cats are not so simple, you are definitely not as innocent as your face!"

Ning Xiaoling couldn't tell whether this was praise or scolding, she sighed, looked at her senior brother as if asking for help, and said, "Senior brother, you can say something, the demigod body of the fox...... This is clearly embarrassing us, there are only 300 days in total, how can we get it?"

Ning Chang stared at her silently and did not speak.

Ning Xiaoling noticed something unusual, and her expression was a little strange.

Jiuyou watched them communicate tacitly with their eyes, and they were also very curious.

After a while, Ning Xiaoling slowly spoke, exclaiming, "No...... Right?"

......

......

Ning Xiaoling sat on the edge of the bed dejectedly, rolling on the big bed non-stop, and said, "Senior brother...... I don't want to walk on all fours. ”

Ning Chang rubbed her head and comforted: "I have seen that fox skin, it is very beautiful, hundreds of years ago, it was still a divine fox that charmed a country, with the appearance of a country and a city, and a young age...... It's deserved. ”

Ning Xiaoling imagined that she had turned into a fox, which was difficult to accept.

Although the fox is very cute, she also thinks it is cute when she rubs the fox by herself, and she doesn't feel cute at all when she is held in her arms and rubbed casually......

Ning Xiaoling got up from the bed, knelt on the bed, and begged, "Senior brother, you must have a way, right?"

Ning Changjiu smiled helplessly and said, "I also want to forcibly take you away, but Jiuyou is not a stupid girl, and she is also ready to tear her face." What's more, I don't dare to gamble with your life. ”

Ning Xiaoling straightened her messy hair, threw herself into Ning Changjiu's arms, hugged her senior brother for a while, and then raised her head and said, "I feel that the fetters of the underworld are just a disguise, a means for Jiuyou to deceive people, if I really want to ...... Ahh

Halfway through the words, Ning Xiaoling suddenly covered her heart, the meridians on her slender ankles were flooded, her petite jade toes were clasped one by one, and her body tightened up spasmodically.

Ning Changjiu immediately pointed at her eyebrows, smoothing the undulating waves in her thoughts with the softness of the breeze and rain.

Ning Xiaoling folded her hands and looked up at this roofless hall, not daring to rebel against the Netherworld again.

So she was even more depressed.

Compared to her frustration, Jiuyou was complacent, as if two hundred and ninety-seven days later was not the day of the destruction of the underworld, but the time when she ascended the throne as a new king.

She flipped through the books on the shelves, looking for ways to gather authority, and she never tired of it.

......

When the king of fish woke up, it was a day and a night later.

For a day and a night, Ning Changjiu and Ning Xiaoling walked around the underworld, which was regarded as the fulfillment of a reunion.

The kingdom of the underworld is far greater than what they see.

In the underworld, spirits are not bound by the resistance of all things, and Edgeworth flies many times faster than outside, but still cannot reach any borders. And all the realms of the underworld, whether drowsy or torrential, are shrouded in the sea of darkness.

The Sea of Darkness is very strange, and you can see its borders when you look up. But it's like the horizon, you can only see it, but you can never reach it.

The scenery of the underworld is not beautiful. In the end, it was all the roar of the yin wind and the wailing of the soul, and the war was far from really stopping, and there were still many sects that would frequently break out in friction and conflict with each other, and they would die fragile after the sword and soldier encountered, returning to the darkness of the firmament.

But the world is vast, and no matter how much life suffers, silence is the eternal language.

Ning Changchang and Ning Xiaoling came to a valley of light, and the valley was full of small black flowers.

Ning Xiaoling knelt lightly on the ground, picked up some with her palm, and sniffed at the tip of her nose, but did not smell the fragrance.

"Are these flowers alive or dead?" Ning Xiaoling asked.

Ning Chang said: "Death is what they look like when they are alive. ”

Ning Xiaoling nodded thoughtfully, she walked lightly on the stone path of the valley, her eyes swept over the endless flower fields in the valley, the wind blew down the mountain, flowing like water, sweeping her skirt and hair.

Ning Chang stood among the sea of flowers.

The girl's cloud-like back floated in her sight.

Ning Xiaoling tilted his head and looked at the darkness above his head.

The Sea of Darkness is like a whale that covers the sky, always floating above, moving with the movement of their steps.

Together, they crossed the vast sea of flowers.

In the endless valley, the jagged mountains and rocks are like a huge labyrinth, and those who walk through them can easily return to the original point.

Outside the sea of flowers, they also saw many statues of gods.

The statues were the appearance of a handsome man, with one hand behind his back, the other holding a book, and from his feet, a feathered serpent enchantingly wound upward, opening its mouth above the man's head, as if to devour him. But the man was unmoved, his expression was calm, and the wings behind the Quetzalcoatl resembled wings growing from his shoulder blades.

At the bottom of the statue were piles of rotten bones.

There were also many ghosts kneeling on the ground praying to the idols, their knees worn to the bone, but they all looked solemn and did not show the slightest pain.

They are the people of the Prayer Sect, and they believe that sufficient piety is the only hope in the endless darkness. One day, when they move the heavens, the light of faith will pierce the sea of darkness and shine accurately on this idol, and then the Lord of Hades will awaken again and lead them to true awakening.

"Where did the Immortal Monarch go?" Ning Xiaoling asked, sitting on the cliff.

Ning looked at the Sea of Darkness for a long time and said, "Its heart has become Nine Shades, as for his body and soul ......"

Ning Xiaoling looked at him.

Ning Chang said: "What we are in now may be in the consciousness of the Immortal Monarch. ”

"Hades' consciousness?" Ning Xiaoling was a little surprised.

Ning Changjiu explained: "This world is a world built by spirits, and it is difficult for me to imagine anyone who can have such a powerful power except for a god of the level of the Hades Monarch. ”

He paused and continued: "When I was in Vena, I also witnessed a similar world, the world of Vena is different from here, there is a certain law, even if it is a chaotic time, but everything happens in an orderly and historical manner. It's different here, it's chaotic here...... The soul is left to fend for itself, and the heavens and the earth are unrestrained, as if it is just a space destined to decline. ”

Ning Xiaoling was curious: "Why are these two places different?"

Ning Changchang said: "The reason is very simple, Vena was deliberately created, and here, it was created unintentionally. ”

"Unintentionally?" Ning Xiaoling looked at the endless world and wondered, "How careless is that Hades Monarch." ”

"It's not something he can control......" Ning Chang said leisurely, "Because this is what sprouts when he dies." ”

"Death?"

Well, at the moment of death, the consciousness will go through an unprecedented violent movement, and you may look back on your life in its entirety at that moment. Ning Changjiu explained: "People are still like this, let alone the primordial gods whose strength far exceeds that of ordinary ancient gods?"

Ning Changjiu continued: "When the Immortal Monarch died, his consciousness exploded instantly. It is like a point that detonates, expands, and expands into an empty, boundless world. Over the long years, the fragments of consciousness in this empty world slowly condensed and formed the land here. The mountains, trees, and flowers here are similar to the world, but the essence is very different...... Perhaps this was created by the chaotic consciousness of the Hades. This process should have taken a long time, so when Jiuyou woke up, it was already more than a thousand years after the death of the Immortal Monarch. ”

Ning Xiaoling listened, surprised by her senior brother's imagination, she felt that her words were a little lacking, so she had to sigh: "It's amazing!"

Ning Chang looked at the statue of the god in the mountain for a while.

He knew that Hades would never answer those who prayed.

"Let's go. He said.

Ning Xiaoling got up and followed her senior brother's side.

Ning Changjiu stretched out his hand, but Ning Xiaoling hesitated and pulled it.

The two walked many more roads, and Ning Xiaoling suddenly said, "Senior brother." ”

"Huh?"

"At that time, after you came back, did you go to see the marrying master or Sister Xiang'er to meet first?" Ning Xiaoling asked.

"What are you doing with this?" asked Ning Changjiu.

"I ...... It's just curious!" Ning Xiaoling said in a low voice.

"Hmm...... The dowry of the seer. Ning Changchang said truthfully.

Ning Xiaoling was a little surprised and said, "Senior brother...... Do you really like Master more?"

How dare Ning Chang answer this question, and said, "I'm very ...... Respect for those who marry. ”

Ning Xiaoling didn't believe it, when she was in Tianguo Peak, she strayed into her senior brother's room, and when she saw the master and the senior brother in the same room, she realized that something was wrong, but she was more naΓ―ve at that time and believed the senior brother's rhetoric. Now that I think about it, if I hadn't bothered myself, I'm afraid what would have happened...... And the marrying master has been waiting for so long on the edge of the abyss, where is this ordinary feeling?

It's just that I didn't expect that Senior Brother really liked Master a little more...... I always thought it would be Sister Xiang'er. Could it be that the senior brother prefers ......

Thinking of this, Ning Xiaoling's gaze couldn't help but move downward.

Unobstructed, she could see the tips of her shoes peeking out from under the hem of her skirt.

The girl was much more depressed at once.

Ning Changjiu pretended not to see her expression, and said calmly: "Because Xiao Ling is also in the Sword Heavenly Sect, of course I want to come to see you first." ”

Ning Xiaoling showed a look of sudden realization.

I see......

"Senior brother is so good!" Ning Xiaoling said sincerely.

After a while, she bit her lip again, and asked a little shy and expectant, "Then Senior Brother and Master......"

"Xiaoling has so many questions, you can wait until you go and ask about marriage. Ning Chang said.

Ning Xiaoling said: "I'm not stupid, if Xiaoling dares to ask Master this, he will be beaten again." ”

Ning Changchang smiled and said, "Don't worry, this time Xiaoling will go back, it's too late for everyone to love you." ”

Ning Xiaoling knew that there were many words that Senior Brother had to say that was actually not credible.

"It hurts me, it really hurts when the time comes, and Senior Brother Zhun is laughing at me again. Ning Xiaoling said.

Ning Changjiu rubbed her head and said, "Don't worry, if Master bullies you, I will help you bully back." ”

Ning Xiaoling snorted coldly: "Don't believe it, no matter how bold the senior brother is, he still dares to beat the master?"

The corners of Ning Chang's mouth were hooked, and he smiled faintly.

If it was in Luo Shuli, Lu Married Marriage knelt lightly on the ground, and the appearance of begging him to punish him softly was seen by Ning Xiaoling, and Senior Sister Xiaoling was afraid that she would be so surprised that she couldn't sleep.

What's more, what about those pictures of hibiscus coming out of the water......

The brothers and sisters joined hands in the poor mountains and bad waters of the underworld.

After a day and night, they returned to the temple of Hades.

Jiuyou was still thinking at the desk, and in the dormitory, the fish king yawned and walked out lazily.

Its blackened eyes faded considerably, and it still felt a little drowsy.

The Fish King raised his head, glanced at Ning Changjiu, and let out a rare sigh: "It seems that I still underestimated you, I originally thought that someone like you would sell me while I was sleeping." ”

Ning Changjiu smiled, the finger on his sleeve secretly pointed at Jiuyou, and said, "You are a hero, and I am not such a faint king, how can I not treat a hero well." ”

Ning Xiaoling lowered her head in shame.

The Fish King asked, "Why are you still here? Haven't I already helped you find a solution?

Ning Chang said: "The Nine Shadows girl is still looking for a way to collect authority. ”

The fish king was stunned.

It glanced at Jiuyou, then at Ning Changjiu, the cat's face wrinkled, and said, "This...... Is there any difficulty?"

Ning Xiaoling's eyes lit up: "Do you have a way?"

The Fish King looked at them with the eyes of a fool and said, "Authority, this thing, somehow is similar to aura. ”

Ning Chang recalled the scene in Linhe City, and suddenly understood: "Authority is also like aura, it will converge?"

"The child can be taught!" the Fish King nodded with satisfaction and said, "The broken porcelain bowls cannot be restored, but the authority is different, they are like a disintegrated race, and it will find ways to restore itself without even your hands." But they are like moths wandering aimlessly in the world, and if you want to attract them all, you still need to be willing to light a fire. ”

Ning Changchang understood that the torch in the mouth of the fish king was a relatively complete person with enough authority.

As soon as the person sat there, without even doing anything, the lost authority would slowly gather from all directions.

Jiuyou raised his head and looked at them.

She heard their conversation and understood what the fish king meant.

Ning Chang looked at Jiuyou and said, "If you do this, the right person is only Xiaoling." ”

Jiuyou said: "I'm afraid the authority in Xiao Ling's body is not enough. ”

Ning Chang said: "His Royal Highness Jiuyou will return all the authority to Xiao Ling, and then post some upside down, maybe it will be enough." ”

"What?!" Jiuyou was startled, as if he was about to be violated, he instantly crossed his arms, covered his chest, and said angrily: "Okay, you people and cats colluded, deliberately used this rhetoric, trying to deceive the authority from me, right? Don't be delusional! I'm so clever, how can I fall for you!"

The Fish King said: "Your Highness, I just woke up......"

Jiuyou stubbornly said: "Anyway, I just don't believe it." ”

The King of Fish didn't bother to explain, thinking that it was a blessing for all the people to have a monarch like you.

Ning Chang said: "It's only two hundred and ninety-six days, one day is less, one day is less, Lord Hades think about it yourself, if you really don't want to let it go, we can only use the sword to solve the problem." ”

Jiuyou raised his palms and said solemnly: "Wait ...... Well, let me think about it. ”

"Hmm. After all, it was a major decision, and Ning Changjiu didn't ask about it.

Ning Xiaoling looked at the sleepy-eyed Di Ting.

She remembered the first time she saw Di Ting, when it was lying in the dust covered in blood, and behind her, the proprietress with a raised brow chased after her, trying to catch it back to its cage.

"Listen, you're amazing. Ning Xiaoling said sincerely.

The Fish King yawned and said, "Only now do I realize that you are also dull enough." ”

Ning Xiaoling was not annoyed, but laughed, looking like she had found a treasure.

"By the way, have you and Senior Brother known each other for a long time...... Is there really such a coincidence?" Ning Xiaoling asked.

The king of fish thought to himself, in fact, we have already met. When the snow kite hurt you, and a silver-haired woman came out of nowhere to save you, I did it once...... Of course, in the eyes of the king of fish now, Ning Xiaoling and Yu Jin are definitely much more pleasing to the eye than snow kites, and Ning Xiaoling's only drawback is that she has a hateful senior brother!

Alas, at that time, it was just the mission of the Silver Snow Palace, and at this moment it was its own life.

But for the silver-haired woman who didn't win at the time, it was still haunted.

If he hadn't been secretly injured in that confrontation, why didn't he win against Ning Changjiu and his wife in front of the Imperial City of Zhao State......

The Fish King thought angrily, planning to recover his strength in the future and become a true god of the Ancient Truth, he must find the silver-haired woman to take revenge!

Thinking of this, the fish king licked his sharp claws like sharpening a knife.

Ning Chang said: "I do know...... It's been a long time. ”

Ning Xiaoling said curiously: "How did you know each other?"

Ning Chang said: "On the wedding day of my wedding with Xiang'er, I invited countless guests, and I came uninvited. ”

Ning Xiaoling didn't think much about it, she just thought that she wanted to eat fish.

As they were talking, in the middle of the rows of bookshelves, Jiuyou suddenly got up, and said in a crisp voice:

"I've figured it out!"

The two of them turned their heads to look at each other.

"What are the plans of the Nine Shadows Girl?" asked Ning Changjiu.

Jiuyou said: "I promise your conditions, I am willing to give most of the authority to Xiao Ling, so that she can collect the rest of the fragments. But I'm scared, if you take all this authority and run away, and then come up with some secret reincarnation technique to shell this girl's golden cicada, won't I have nothing?"

Ning Chang asked, "What do you think?"

Jiuyou looked at him and said, "Actually, I know that you are a good person. ”

"Huh?" Ning Chang didn't understand why she suddenly said that.

Jiuyou said: "You go to a place with me." ”

......

They came to the Immortal Sect.

Please ask the Immortal Sect's armillary sphere-like divine summoning artifact to be as tall as a building.

Such immortal artifacts are also available in the Kingdom of God, but the difference is that in the Kingdom of God, it is driven by fairies with fluttering ribbons, but here are skinny ghosts.

"Go ahead. Jiuyou looked at him and said.

Ning Changchang hesitated slightly, but still took a step.

On the armillary sphere, a beam of golden light descended from the air, Ning Chang walked out of the golden light, and the Shura Dharma body was shining brightly in it, like countless prisms, refracting ten thousand brilliant golden rays, like a divine fire descending from the sky, his cold and delicate face, like a snow-rolled clothes, was full of infinite holiness.

He landed lightly on the armillary sphere.

All the dead souls stopped their movements and looked at this place, even those who were about to decay tried their best to open their eyes, and a sound almost screamed from their throats.

The ghost of the slave pulling the artifact unloaded the rope, and all the souls of the dead who were working or praying knelt down.

The hundred years of efforts of the Immortal Sect finally got a response from the gods.

They spread their arms and shouted hoarsely, as if they were about to melt themselves into the glory of their life.

"I am your god who will lead you out of the dark sea. ”

Ning Chang looked at the devastated world, looked at the thousands of souls who knelt at his feet and enshrined themselves as saviors, solemnly spoke, and spoke according to the words they had agreed upon in advance.

......

......

Half an hour later, Ning Changjiu slowly returned to the hall, his eyes calm.

"Why do you think morality can bind me?" Ning Chang asked.

Jiuyou said: "Because you are probably a good person." ”

Ning Chang did not answer.

Jiuyou sighed, and his somewhat immature tone revealed thousands of years of sorrow and helplessness: "There is no heaven here, and it is impossible to fulfill the poisonous oath, so I have no other way." ”

Ning Chang bowed his head, he closed his eyes, and in his mind were still the scenes of countless dead souls kneeling, their expressions were excited, and their tremors came from their souls.

Ning Chang said: "Don't worry, even if I don't have these, I will come back." ”

The Nine Shadows nodded slightly, and whispered, "Two hundred and ninety-six days, don't be mistaken...... Don't be late. ”

"Good. Ning Chang agreed.

Jiuyou stretched out his hand.

Ning Changchang, Ning Xiaoling, and the king of fish stretched out their hands one by one.

"I am your bridge through the darkness and communication with the outside world......" Jiuyou chanted softly.

She held out her hands.

Ning Changjiu and Ning Xiaoling held one by one.

One of Ning Xiaoling's divine souls stayed in place, and the rest rose along with their consciousness.

The infinite dark sea opens to them.

In the sky above the dark sea, there are familiar shadows, one sitting on the throne, the other standing in front of the throne.

It was Ning Xiaoling and Ning Changchang in the Hades Temple.

Ning Chang returned to his body and slowly opened his eyes.

Ning Xiaoling's soul was not complete and could not be contained by his body, so he could only rely on his side.

After the two left, Jiuyou stretched out his hand to the fish king.

"Goodbye, Mr. Cat, if there is any future, can you teach me to read?" asked Jiuyou in a low voice.

The fish king raised his cat's paw and nodded earnestly.

Jiuyou smiled.

Printed in pairs.

In a moment, under the throne of the Hades Temple, the Fish King slowly opened his eyes.

......

Outside the light curtain of the Nine Secluded Palace, Si Ming, who was kneeling by the desk and drinking tea, frowned suddenly, she rubbed the fur of the demon fox around her neck, and said softly: "I'm back." ”
