Chapter 246: Like Fire

All the stars were swallowed up by the light of day.

In the bright light, the red shadow hung high, eclipsing the golden crow.

Zhao Xiang'er reluctantly raised her head from the softness that had been buried for a long time.

They find that the place they are in has changed.

The surroundings were no longer above the Imperial City, but a white and empty world, as if they were standing on the ice, and above them was a fire reflecting the ice and snow.

When the sudden light dissipated, the gaze finally returned to the pupil little by little.

The three of them finally saw the appearance of the comer.

It was a huge, indescribable, mysterious bird.

Each of its feathers is the size of a human, and if its true body is revealed, its appearance of spreading its wings may be able to cover the entire Zhao Kingdom.

It does not have colorful feathers like the phoenix, it has only red on its body, and it is pure red in different shades.

The surface of its body is like a huge river of magma gushing at any time, sparks splashing everywhere, burning and terrifying, and the flow of magma is constantly flowing and changing according to a concrete, magnificent outline, and it is impossible to describe the specific appearance of its every moment.

This may be the shadow of Suzaku.

Its mythical form is encased in molten lava.

But even so, the coercion it brought was still endless, it was a double oppression both visually and spiritually, and when Jin Crow saw it for the first time, he hurriedly hid in the Purple Mansion along Ning Chang's eyebrows.

The golden crow is still a young finch and does not have the courage to face the red finch head-on.

Zhao Xiang'er walked slowly towards the phantom of the big bird that was burning with flames.

Above the big bird, a woman in palace clothes walked down slowly.

Ning Changjiu's brows furrowed.

He found that this woman in palace dress was the same as the maid in Zhao Xiang'er's Suzaku Kingdom, but she carried more majesty and aura, and the long skirt of the palace dress was like a golden shadow.

"See Your Highness. The woman in the palace costume saluted Zhao Xiang'er and spoke calmly.

Zhao Xiang'er looked at her and asked, "Are you here to pick me up?"

The woman in the palace costume nodded, "Yes." ”

Zhao Xiang'er asked, "Can I stay?"

The woman in the palace costume shook her head and said, "No, this is the holy oracle of the mother." ”

Zhao Xiang'er frowned and said, "You...... It's also called Niang Niang Niang?"

"Hmm. The palace woman said, "Actually, when I was very young, I was by your side to protect you until you were thirteen years old. ”

Zhao Xiang'er was silent for a moment, feeling slightly uncomfortable, and she asked, "What about after the age of thirteen?"

The woman in palace costume said: "In the next three years, Niangniang has arranged all the roads for you. ”

"All the roads?" Zhao Xiang'er was slightly startled, she glanced at Ning Changjiu and Lu Marrying, and the eyebrows and eyes that were slightly powdered when they got married were spent after the continuous war, but they looked very cute.

The woman in the palace costume said: "After half an hour, I will lead Your Highness to a brand new place, which is a small country built on the edge of the law, you complete the final training in it, and after seven years, the gate of the Vermilion Bird Divine Kingdom will be opened, and Your Highness can go back and see Niangniang." ”

"Mother's ......" Zhao Xiang'er hesitated for a moment and said, "Let them hear these secrets, will your mother be angry?"

She was afraid that she would ask an out-of-the-ordinary question, and then Lian Ning and Lu would be wiped out by the reason that "dead people can keep secrets the most".

The palace woman said, "If you trust them, the mother will have no opinion." ”

Zhao Xiang'er nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then what are you here for?" asked Zhao Xiang'er.

"Take His Highness home and answer His Highness's doubts. The woman in the palace costume said with a look: "Your Highness has any questions?"

Zhao Xiang'er thought for a while and said seriously: "I have questions. ”

"Your Highness, please. The woman in the palace costume said respectfully.

Zhao Xiang'er said: "Who is my mother?"

The woman in the palace costume said: "Niangniang is the lord of the Vermilion Bird Divine Kingdom, the Vermilion Bird God." ”

......

There was no abnormal sound in the heavens and the earth, but thunder was heard in everyone's ears.

Even Zhao Xiang'er, who had already guessed, was a little shocked after really confirming the matter.

Nanzhou is a small state in the world, and Zhao is a small country in a corner of Nanzhou, and the Vermilion Bird God ...... One of the twelve most powerful beings in the world, and she is her daughter?

"Am I my own?" Zhao Xiang'er wondered.

The palace woman said: "Her Royal Highness was created by Niangniang, and all the creatures created by Niangniang are her daughters." And you, the one she loves. ”

Zhao Xiang'er glanced at the feathers pinched in the brand-new ice and thunder and asked, "Am I also such an existence?"

The palace woman said: "This is something that has nothing to say. ”

"Then you say something you know. Zhao Xiang'er said.

The palace woman said, "I'm only responsible for answering questions." ”

Ning stared at her for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Is my marriage contract with Xiang'er also made by Niangniang herself?"

The woman in the palace costume said coldly: "I only answer His Highness's doubts. ”

Zhao Xiang'er thought for a while and said seriously: "I want to know if the fate that my mother arranged for me is consistent with the fate I have walked." ”

The palace woman said: "You have deviated from the track many times, and in the end you have come here." ”

Zhao Xiang'er calmed down and asked, "Then can you tell me what the fate that my mother arranged for me was originally like?"

......

The woman in the palace costume talked about the picture scroll that Niangniang had originally planned.

The wings of the Suzaku Shadow covered them.

In this area, no one can see the content of this field unless Bai Zang has the intention to peek at it. However, the plan of the Fish King failed, and although Bai Zang was the lord of the country, he should not continue to go deeper, and openly made enemies of Suzaku.

"From the age of thirteen, you defeated the second prince and his guards from Rongguo in front of the palace, and really started to cultivate, and then all your realms will slowly move forward with the point arranged by Niangniang in advance, until you are sixteen years old. At that time, you reached the peak of Tongxian, because of your special bloodline and ability, your Tongxian is enough to live a long life. ”

"This is also the year you fulfill your marriage certificate. ”

In September, the Apocalypse was born in the Kingdom of Jin, and the monarch of the Kingdom of Jin thought that he had received an oracle, and created a murderous puppet under the arrangement of the gods, and began to plan to bring the carrier of the birth of this god to the Kingdom of Zhao. She arranged a series of events in the Qianyu Palace, including her own death. ”

Zhao Xiang'er listened to her quietly.

In the past two years, she has guessed these things, and she is not surprised to hear the confirmation of the palace woman at this moment.

But she still couldn't figure out one thing: "What if I accepted the marriage letter?

The woman in the palace costume replied: "Niangniang arranged the way for you to refuse the marriage letter, if you take it, then everything after Zhao Guo will not happen, and the mother will send you to where your fiancΓ© is, and the later arrangements are related to the existence of another one." ”

Zhao Xiang'er clenched Ning Changchang's hand.

They looked at each other, without words, and they both knew that if they didn't go through this, with their personalities, this marriage letter would be nothing at all.

Zhao Xiang'er said: "Then what is the significance of this marriage letter?"

The woman in palace clothes said, "I don't know." ”

Zhao Xiang'er frowned slightly, thinking that her husband is too cheap, right?

Zhao Xiang'er continued to ask: "What about the back?"

The palace woman said: "The killer who killed the puppet was infiltrated by the Jin Kingdom and tried his best to put it into the Qianyu Palace, and the chaos that had been planned for a long time was launched in the first month of autumn, the Qianyu Palace was on fire, and the maid and the maids were burned to death by the 'fire', only a few chess pieces escaped in advance, and one of them gave you a secret letter, and you slowly figured out a lot of things and understood what you should do." ”

After that, the flame of revenge ignited in your heart, and you began to carefully plan your revenge. ”

"When you were very young, you once 'strayed' into the ancient well, that was the arrangement of the mother, she just wanted you to see the old fox, this is the big test you will face in the future. In the past, the divine soul of the Five Realms

It's hard to destroy, just because that god is still alive in the world, and it shelters all the demons related to him back then, but over the years, his power has become weaker and weaker, and the sword of the kingdom of God can kill them. ”

"So...... Why didn't the Lord of the Kingdom of God kill all those big demons?" Zhao Xiang'er puzzled, those big demons should be hidden dangers for the Lord of the Kingdom. It was only now that she realized that the immortal sword enshrined in the Zhao Kingdom was actually the sword of the Vermilion Bird Divine Kingdom......

The woman in the palace costume replied: "It is very troublesome to take the sword of Zhenguo out of the kingdom of God, and every time you use it in the outside world, a part of it will be consumed, and now outside the kingdom of the twelve gods, there is a terrifying enemy hidden in the faint way, so the lord of the country is unwilling to let the sword of the kingdom of God leave the kingdom of God." The second and most important reason...... for the One is alive. Whether the demon of the five realms kills or not, it is not important to the lord of the country, so now that he is alive, it is very important. ”

Zhao Xiang'er said: "Saint?"

The woman in the palace costume said, "Yes." ”

"Who is the saint?" asked Zhao Xiang'er.

"A dying man. "That's all she can say.

Zhao Xiang'er didn't ask, she continued: "What about the arrangement of the mother after that?"

The palace woman said: "After that, you began to implement the plan to kill all the enemies, and the biggest enemy that Niangniang arranged for you is to kill the old fox, so you plan to borrow a knife to kill, and at the same time release the old fox, let it follow your plan, eliminate those who must be killed, and finally use the imperial city as a decisive battle." ”

"You follow the steps, first kill the mastermind of the Qianyu Palace Rebellion, spread the rumors of the Sparrow Ghost killing people in the imperial city, and create an illusion. Then you hijacked the national teacher, stole the jade seal of the heirloom country, opened the first soul seal of the red-tailed old monarch, and used this seal to kill the witch master. Then you instructed Song Fang to take away the incinerator and Zhao Fu's throne, and then fight the old demon fox in the imperial city. ”

"This battle Niang Niang only made a guide, and did not arrange it for you, if you are unfortunately defeated by the Red-tailed Monarch, then Niang Niang can only reshape the road after you, or...... Straight back up on you. Of course, you are the daughter of a mother, so the possibility of failure in our eyes is not high for your seemingly thrilling plan reversal. ”

"After that, you will kill the old fox and then suffer an assassination at the birthday party. The one who assassinates you is the murderous puppet that has been prepared, lurking in the birthday feast, lying on Qiu Li's back, and launching the assassination when you let your guard down. That murderous puppet has a cultivation comparable to that of the Purple Court Realm, and that is also the most thrilling one for you. ”

Then, you will use all means to come to the Nine Spirit Platform with only one breath, summon the Nine Feathers, awaken the power, and kill the puppeteer. ”

"But at the same time, this move will trigger the Spirit Eaters in the Sea of Ruins. ”

"The Soul Eater is not your true enemy in the plan, but its role is to make you have a fear of heaven and earth, and this fear will oppress your Dao heart until one day in the future, turning into one of the torches that light the Dao seed. ”

"The one responsible for killing the Soul Eater is your fiancΓ©'s second brother. He will appear when you are about to die and slay the Soul Eater. ”

"At this point, the Imperial City's test for you is complete. ”

The woman in the palace costume said all this expressionlessly.

The three people who listened unconsciously frowned, and they looked at each other for a while, and they could all sense that something was wrong in each other's eyes.

Lu had heard Ning Chang talk about his previous life, and he could vaguely guess the reasons for some variables.

Zhao Xiang'er was even more puzzled...... Why did the murderous puppet never appear?

"It's different from what I've experienced. Zhao Xiang'er said.

The palace woman said: "Yes, although I don't want to admit it, it did happen, and it was beyond the expectations of the mother." ”

......

The Lord of the Kingdom of God is a truly all-conquering celestial being, and unless it is done by people of the same level, it is impossible to hide it from the Lord of God.

The woman in the palace costume said frankly: "The variable happened to the Taoist priest named Ning Baoshui. That Taoist priest is from Linhe City, there is a white bone corpse demon hidden in Linhe City, he is the pawn of the corpse demon, but he entered the palace under the arrangement of Niangniang, the power of the corpse demon is not complete, and he is afraid of the power of Niangniang, so he does not dare to make rash moves, so he has to quietly follow and wait for the opportunity to move. ”

"There are two reasons why the mother arranged this. One is that his female disciple Ning Xiaoling is of the same origin as the red-tailed Laojun, and her arrival can wake up the Laojun just right. The second is that the white bone corpse demon is transformed by the white spirit bone, and in the future, you can find it along the vine and melon, and complete what you have to do after that. But ......"

"Variables happen. ”

In Niangniang's original plan, Ning Xiaoling would definitely die after awakening Laojun, but she miraculously survived. This miracle happened to her senior brother, that is, you, Ning Changjiu. ”

The palace woman looked at him and said, "That killer puppet will summon a powerful evil spirit in the heavens and the earth that does not want to die, let him enter his vessel-like body, and then lurk in the palace, waiting to assassinate His Highness." But...... Miracles happened. The puppet failed. The spirit he summoned did not enter his own body, but came into the body of the young man who was supposed to die. ”

"I don't need to go into detail about what happened next, it was all out of the plan, but thankfully, it didn't go out of the general framework. ”

"In the end, you completed everything on time, and you finished the arrangements of the mother's plan in that sunset. ”

Zhao Xiang'er listened to her words, what she originally thought was similar to the trajectory of fate, but it turned out that the path had been deviated unconsciously...... It's just that the path is the same.

"That's not right!" Zhao Xiang'er suddenly spoke: "If it weren't for him, how could I defeat Madame Bai when I was in Linhe City?"

A month in Riverside City was one of unforgettable moments for her.

The palace woman calmly recounted: "You followed Ning Baoshui's message to Linhe City, and then took advantage of Jiuyu's lurking to have a life-and-death battle with Madame Bai before she completed the construction of the Kingdom of God, which was full of dangers, and finally strangled her city in the cradle. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Xiang'er suddenly understood.

At that time, she had the opportunity to break the structure of the White Lady's construction of the kingdom of God.

But a breath of slower.

That breath......

She looked at Ning Changjiu and sighed, thinking to herself that I pulled a cow to save you at that time, and it didn't take me a breath to run all the way......

Ning Chang looked apologetic, thinking to himself that I didn't make up for it later? I also used you as a sandbag for a month.

"In fact, it is not all bad for Madame Bai to build up, she did make up a netherworld authority at that time, but then the fragment of authority did not know where to go, I am low-minded and clumsy, I can ask Niangniang in the future. She said.

Zhao Xiang'er looked at the woman in the palace costume and asked, "What happened after that...... Is it off the mark?"

The woman in the palace costume nodded and said: "After the Southern Wilderness, the Purple Heaven Dao Gate planned to repair the Nine Infants, Zhang Kaiyu colluded with Hanchi Zhenren to repair the snake to bully him, and at a big banquet, the assassination of the Jin Kingdom came again, and you broke the conspiracy and began to plan the second battle of Shashui." It was a key battle between the Zhao State and the Jin State, you supervised the battle on the city wall to boost the morale of the army, and after the big victory, you did not go back, but coincidentally came to Liantian Town, and strayed into the lotus flower depth. ”

"You were involved in the conspiracy of the resurrection of the Nine Infants, and fought with the Nine Babies three times in a row, all of which were defeated, you were covered in bruises, and escaped to Yunshang City, where you saw the wedding dress. ”

"Vermilion Bird's bloodline has awakened, and you have stepped into the Purple Court Realm. ”

"On the Southern Wilderness, you use nine feathers as a sword, cut nine babies nine times in a row, kill them outside the Red River, and take out its demon pill with a sword. In order to thank you, the Sword Heavenly Sect gave you some rare treasures from their sect, and you only took the Phantom Snow Lotus. ”

"A year later, the cherry blossoms of the Jin Kingdom often bloomed, and you assassinated the King of Jin with a single sword in black clothes, and returned with flowers. ”

Rongguo was shaken and hurriedly returned the land that was cut back then. ”

"Half a year later, Zhao will return to all the kingdoms, and you will be able to ascend to the kingdom of God. ”

"So, you should have left a long time ago. ”

The palace woman said that.

Zhao Xiang'er stood in place, her figure in her red wedding dress became more and more beautiful, and that kind of beauty was not based on her face, but a faint and indescribable fairy feeling.

The second battle of sand and water, which was supposed to take place, did not happen...... Because of that banquet, she learned of Ning Changjiu's death and canceled it directly.

Ning Changchang understood

, This change was brought by him, if it weren't for the chaos caused by his fall to the bottom of the Heavenly Cave Peak, Hanchi Zhenren might not have started planning so early.

Now the appearance of the Nine Babies is earlier than expected.

What a twist of fate?

Zhao Xiang'er thought for a while.

A faint, helpless smile appeared on her face: "Then why haven't I left yet?"

After saying this, she immediately understood: "Because of the demon pill?"

"Yes. The palace woman said: "You still lack a demon pill, of course, don't worry, there are many big demon pills scattered in this world, most of them are in some unknown secret realms, I will find one for you later." ”

Zhao Xiang'er's lips pursed, revealing a look that was even more shocked than when she heard those contents before.

"Demon Pill...... Isn't it the art of forgetting?" Zhao Xiang'er gritted his silver teeth.

The palace woman said calmly: "No, you really forgot." ”

"......" Zhao Xiang'er's ears are a little hot.

Ning Changjiu laughed softly, and Lu Married also smiled and rubbed her head.

Zhao Xiang'er remembered that when she saw the fish king, she sighed in her heart that her mother had no last resort, and her mood was a little complicated, she pinched Ning Chang's hand fiercely, and said, "Don't laugh!"

"So ...... this king of fish?"

Zhao Xiang'er asked hesitantly.

The palace woman said: "Some of Bai Zang's small means, she guessed something, and wanted to destroy Niangniang's plan, so she used the snow kite to fall into the child." Snow Kite and Shi Yu can be reshaped after returning to the Kingdom of God, and you will be their eldest sister in the future, and they will assist you in sitting in the small country created by the mother. Of course, we know that this matter is done by Bai Zang, but we still have no choice but to do it. ”

Zhao Xiang'er nodded, and she said, "I understand." ”

The palace woman said, "Do you still have any questions?"

"Yes!" Zhao Xiang'er remembered the things she had experienced in the three-year covenant and asked, "My mother's year of the kingdom of God has not yet arrived, so how did she manipulate my fate?"

The woman in the palace costume did not hide it: "Because of Jiuyu." ”

"Nine Feathers?" Zhao Xiang'er looked shocked.

The woman in palace costume said, "Do you know what Jiuyu is?"

Zhao Xiang'er didn't want to show her timidity, so she pretended to be confident and said: "As the name suggests, the nine feathers are of course the divine sparrow made by the mother with nine feathers. ”

The palace woman stretched out a finger and pointed to the sky, and said, "This Vermilion Bird is transformed by Niangniang's nine feathers, have you found that it is missing something?"

Zhao Xiang'er looked at the big bird, her eyes scanned the surroundings, and she immediately understood: "It has no shadow!"

The palace woman nodded and said, "Well, Jiuyu has cut its shadow, and later it will become one with the shadow and take you to the west." ”

Originally...... It turns out that the nine feathers are the shadows of the nine feathers of the Suzaku.

No wonder it is so dark that it can devour the light of the Golden Crow - because its shadow is the main body, symbolizing the supreme fire of the world!

Zhao Xiang'er said: "In other words, this nine feathers ...... It has spirituality?"

The palace woman said: "Yes, because it is a fragment of Niangniang's shadow, it is also a part of Niangniang." ”

Zhao Xiang'er's cheeks were slightly hot: "That is to say...... All the things that happened, my mother and mother saw it?"

He was tied up and bullied by Ning for a long time, and after playing chess with him, he was punished, and he was naked in the marriage bed and threatened to rebel against his fate...... All of these have been seen by my mother?

The woman in the palace costume ruthlessly said, "Yes." ”

Zhao Xiang'er supported her forehead, her pretty face was flushed, and she wanted to turn into a feather and hide on Jiuyu's body.

Ning Changjiu comforted: "It's okay, my mother doesn't think I'm ashamed." ”

"Shut up!" Zhao Xiang'er punched him hard: "It's not all your fault!"

She also understands now that she wants to be a Jiangyang thief and a hero, and if there is nothing, she is also affected by Jiuyu, after all, it lies on its own every day......

Mother...... It's shameless.

Half an hour is about to pass.

Zhao Xiang'er's departure was something they had known for a long time.

Even if you are mentally prepared, when this moment really comes, the sad atmosphere still overflows.

"Sister Xiang'er. Lu married and spoke softly.

Zhao Xiang'er's cheeks bulged slightly, and she was angry: "It's just that I'm leaving, I just called you two sentences of sister to make you happy, I'm married to Ming Media, it stands to reason that you should call me my sister!"

Lu married and hugged her dotingly, buried her head in her chest, and smiled: "Okay, little master." ”

Zhao Xiang'er listened to her tone, opened her mouth and took a bite in dissatisfaction, and said in a vague voice: "What about you coaxing children?"

Ning Chang walked up to them and reached out to stroke their backs.

He hugged them.

The three of them hugged each other tightly.

"After I'm gone, don't bully my sister, let alone mess with flowers, if I see other girls, I can't spare you. Zhao Xiang'er said.

Ning Changchang bowed his head and said, "Well, the marriage will supervise me." ”

"How can I control you, Master. Lu married and quipped.

"Hmm, it's been a long time since I've forged a sword for a wedding?" Ning Changjiu smiled.

"What is forging a sword?" asked Zhao Xiang'er.

"You ......" Lu married and pressed the girl's head, burying it tighter, and she snuggled up to Ning Chang's chest, Ning Chang's chin gently pressed against her soft and delicate hair.

The woman in the palace costume looked at this scene and showed a hint of a smile.

The power of time enveloped them.

But the power of authority cannot last forever.

The time of parting has come......

Nine feathers flew into the sky and fused with the Suzaku made of nine feathers.

The white light is like a fading tide.

The temporary world constructed by the palace dress woman gradually disappeared.

In the withered grass and desolate fields, only two of the three people who hugged each other tightly were left.

Ning Changjiu and Lu married each other.

Ning Chang's shoulders were wet.

Suzaku is gone.

They hugged for a long, long time.

In the cold and misty mountains, the long night is over.

The light of the sky lit up.

It was the new sunrise of Zhao Kingdom.

Ning didn't look at the rising sun in the east for a long time.

No matter how beautiful the morning sun is, it can't be as beautiful as the time on the Falling God Peak.

He looked to the north, staring intently. After a while, he hugged the woman in his arms and said softly: "Do you remember? ”

"Well, remember, you said you lacked a knife to split stones. Lu Yuyao wiped the corners of his eyes.

Ning Chang looked straight ahead, and his words seemed to invisibly pass through the winding ninety thousand miles of rivers and mountains.

"I found the knife. He said.

Lu married and didn't seem to understand, she just hugged him, for fear that he would slip away from the light like Zhao Xiang'er.

They just hugged each other.

Like flowers and trees hugging snow.

Ten thousand rays of sunlight leapt out of the gentle mountains, illuminating their silhouettes.

Above the nine heavens, Zhao Xiang'er sat on the back of the Vermilion Bird, looking at the shadow that had hugged each other all night from afar.

In the morning light, she finally swallowed the demon pill silently.

Tears rolled down his face and fell.

The tear condensed in the cold wind and spread out evenly, the edge like a slender antler.

This is the first snow after the onset of winter.

Ning Changjiu reached out to catch the snow.

He held it in the palm of his hand.

Snowflakes are blazing like fire.
