When Ning Changjiu's last sword stabbed out, the afterimages of the sky all returned to his body, and the domineering sword qi also disappeared at this moment.

It was as if they were in the darkness of the night, and in the already dark world, the tengu suddenly swallowed the moon, so that all the light was gone, and everything that could be seen was filled with darkness.

The knife in the hand of the black-clothed young man was like dry sand, losing its stickiness and beginning to dissipate and fall.

He looked at Ning Chang's weird posture and wanted to laugh. But looking at the sword that pierced his throat, he couldn't laugh at all, and his throat could only make the sound of "box box box".

The black-clothed young man was full of questions, he wanted to ask something, but Ning Changjiu didn't give him a chance, the sword qi was like magma rushing, and countless red lines lit up in his body, and those lines were like dense bloodshots, ready to break through the skin and burst out.

"Stop!" Shi Wu roared, and the Dao Sword broke out of the box and slashed towards the mountain protection array.

The golden crow that pecked at the Nine Infants' Dharma Phase chirped, and under its feet, the Dharma Phase began to dissipate.

The black-clothed young man even had the ability to shatter the void in the Purple Court Realm, he originally thought that he could dodge the sword of anyone here, even the Guardian Peak Lord named Jingyang Xia.

But he was stabbed by the sword.

He couldn't figure it out.

I can't understand this sword, and I can't understand the golden crow...... It's the same as it was 3,000 years ago.

The one back then, but the divine bird that was truly comparable to the King of the Golden-winged Dapeng Ming, was the god in charge of the Ten Eyes Kingdom.

How can it be the size of a sparrow today?

The sword fire in his body exploded, and his body exploded inch by inch, he was like a torn black curtain, and after the explosion, the black fragments were scattered like paper money.

The exploding air flow was mixed with flames, stirring Ning Chang's white clothes, and his black hair was raised.

Ning Chang turned around and looked at Lu Marry.

He frowned slightly, not knowing if it was an illusion, but when he looked from afar, he saw some tears flashing in the corners of her eyes.

The moment the black-clothed young man exploded, Shi Wu's face was extremely cold.

Behind him, Fourteen Yi and another Dao Master raised their heads at the same time, the Dao Sword was sacrificed, and a Dharma body dozens of zhang high stood up behind him at the same time.

"Do you have to regret it?" Jing Yangxia slapped the wooden sheath on his waist, and the Bixiao Sword broke and hung in the center of the mountain protection array.

Ning Chang clutched his chest and coughed lightly a few times, his body obviously lost a lot of strength, and his shoulders pulled together a lot.

Shi Wu stared at Ning Changjiu, remembered some of the past, and asked, "What is the name of your sword?"

Ning did not answer for a long time.

Shi Wu obviously also heard Jing Yang Xia's exclamation earlier, he determined the origin of that sword, and continued: "The second half of the Heavenly Oracle Sword Sutra ...... Why was something that your Heavenly Sect lost decades ago learned by a junior disciple?"

The second half of the Heavenly Oracle Sword Sutra?

The exclamation of Jing Yang Xia, the master of the Sky Guarding Peak, had made many people puzzled, but now they were even more shocked.

The loss of the second half of the Heavenly Oracle Sword Sutra was something that everyone in the peak knew about.

That was an old story many years ago, and the rumored culprit was Yan Zhoushi's uncle who imprisoned himself in the Library. And this generation of Sect Master Han Chi Zhenren was originally a true genius of Tianzhong, if it weren't for the loss of the second half of the Sword Sutra, how could he be at the peak of the Purple Court, and he would not be able to break through.

But now a young disciple actually used the move of the second half of the Heavenly Oracle Sword Sutra?

Could it be that there is another hidden reason for the loss of the Sword Sutra back then?

Mo said that he was a disciple, even if he was the master of the Four Peaks, he was puzzled in his heart, and Lu Marrying knew that this sword technique was secretly learned by him from Yan Zhou's sleep, could it be that Yan Zhou imprisoned the Library, not because he couldn't find the Sword Sutra, but because he had already found it, and he had been secretly concentrating on sword practice?

Thinking of this, Lu Zaimari thought of the old man's kind face, and a chill welled up in his heart.

If it was really what she thought, then what was Yan Zhou's plan?

Ning Changjiu's thoughts were different from Lu Marrying, he felt that if Yan Zhou really stole the second half of the Heavenly Oracle Sword Sutra, it would be extremely difficult not to be discovered by the sect master, even if the sect master did not find out, he would definitely hide this secret well, so that he would not know that he would shuttle between the Book Pavilion and the Hidden Peak with a small flying sky array every day, and he could sleep peacefully.

But if this is the case, Yan Zhou's sword technique in the second half of the sword scripture cannot be explained.

Ning Changjiu did not directly answer Shi Wu's question, but said: "My private affairs, what does it have to do with you? If you still have the credit of the door master, retreat outside the peach curtain." ”

Jing Yang Xia was shocked by this matter in his heart, but at the moment of the great enemy, he also forcibly suppressed the shock and doubts in his heart, and said: "If you are more aggressive, the mountain protection sword that has not been released for a hundred years will come out today." ”

Shi Wudao: "Without the mountain protection sword of the sect master's sword, I want to see how powerful it is." ”

Jing Yang Xia said angrily: "Do you really want to regret it?"

Shi Wu said proudly: "Who said that my disciple lost?"

Jing Yang Xia said: "Everyone is watching, do you want to reverse black and white?"

Ten Wu sneered.

Suddenly, a dark wind blew again on the sword field.

Ning Chang sighed, but the golden crow on his shoulder was blazing.

On the sword field, a slender black light was raised, and a figure was outlined and pieced together by many black lines, and it was the appearance of the young man in black again, but this time, his demeanor and appearance were much more mature.

"Idiot. The black-clothed boy stared at the fragments of his clothes on the ground and cursed.

Legend has it that the Nine Babies have nine lives, and as long as one head remains, the rest of the heads can be repaired on their own, so only by killing it nine times in one breath can it be truly killed.

Half of this legend is true, the Nine Babies do have nine lives, but the head in the middle of it cannot be repaired after being cut off.

Although it can survive with the other eight heads, if it loses its true brain, not only will the strength of the Nine Babies be greatly reduced, but the other eight will also kill each other.

Three thousand years ago, the nine babies were cut off nine in one go, and the most important head in the middle is still missing.

When the Purple Heaven Dao Sect reshaped the Nine Infants, for fear that it would kill each other, they stuffed the consciousness of the eight heads into the body of the young man they created.

Wait until the nine babies are completely pieced together, and then let this teenager and the nine babies blend together.

Ning had guessed these things for a long time, and he could even think that at this moment, the people of the Purple Heaven Dao Sect had moved the bones of the Nine Babies to the outside of Liantian Town, so that the giant python could connect with the Nine Infants.

Previously, when he was in Liantian Town, he had thought of asking Lu to marry a sword to kill the giant python, but he gave up that idea at that time.

First, the giant python is also a creature in the Purple Court or close to the Purple Court Realm, which is extremely difficult to kill, and secondly, in Liantian Town, everything may be a painting, like the black giant python, Zhang Qiyu must have thought of countless means to protect it.

If you really want to kill it, you can only kill it outside Liantian Town, but at that time, the nine babies have already been completed, who can cut off those nine heads in a row?

Now in front of them, it is almost an unsolvable dead end.

But he always felt that he was missing something.

He turned his head and suddenly saw Ning Xiaoling looking at him fixedly, her eyes flickered, her mouth was half open, her face turned pale from fright, she waved her fist at herself, as if she had something to tell herself urgently.

"Do you want to die again?" Ning asked as he stared at the black-clothed young man for a long time.

The black-clothed young man condensed the black knife again, he didn't look at Ning Chang, but stared at the golden crow on his shoulder.

"Who the hell are you?" asked the young man in black again.

Ning Chang ignored him, after the previous sword, his kendo comprehension was even deeper, he was confident at the moment, even if Jiuying used up his current seven lives, he would not be able to defeat himself.

They were locked in a standoff again, and neither of them took the lead.

"What are you doing?!"

Suddenly, there was a roar of rage from the sword field.

Jing Yang Xia glanced at the mountain protection array, and on the large array, there were faint cracks, and the cracks were extremely thin, and they couldn't be detected if they didn't look carefully.

The law of the Nine Infant Space can not only treat the Great Array as nothing, but even have the ability to destroy it directly, which is also the reason why Ten Nothing is truly fearless.

It was only at this moment that they discovered that the Mountain Protection Array had been secretly encroached upon by the Law of the Nine Infants.

"Mountain Protector Sword!" Jing Yang Xia burst out and didn't hesitate any longer.

Four sword lights with different momentum lit up almost simultaneously.

Shi Wu and the two Dao Masters also sacrificed their Dao swords at this moment and slashed towards the mountain protection array.

They never intended to keep their promises.

This kind of sword competition is just a child's fight, how can it really affect the trend of the overall situation?

This sword contest was forcibly terminated, and the Purple Heaven Dao Gate overturned the chessboard, and both sides showed the sharpest swords together.

In the heaven and earth that was still calm before, the sword light that surged up in an instant was like a snake cultivator that was about to devour the heavens and the earth, opening its bloody mouth towards the entire four peaks.

Above the four peaks, the mountain protection sword is condensed.

It was an incomparably huge sword, hanging high above the top of the four peaks.

The sword body of that sword was like dozens of ancient dragons intertwined and condensed, only a general sword shape, no clear sword edge, but as soon as it appeared, the murderous aura of the vast ancient meaning was like a strong wind that had rushed to thousands of miles, and it came all the way here.

Shi Wu stared at the sword, his expression solemn to the extreme.

It was such a sword that had suppressed the Purple Heaven Dao Sect for hundreds of years.

And now, as the master of this generation, as long as he breaks this sword, he can become a truly powerful sect, and from then on, the Dao Sect will have no opponents, and he is even expected to crown Nanzhou.

His heart was surging with tension and heat.

The sword was condensed, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the young man in black.

The corners of the black-clothed young man's mouth hooked up a trace of arc, his body leaned back, the void cracked, and the whole person cracked and fell in, and then, behind Shi Wu, the black door cracked, and the young man walked out of it, smiling: "Master help." ”

Beside Fourteen Yi, another Dao Master raised his head.

The Dao Master was also in a wide purple robe, and her face was hidden under the hood, and at this moment she finally looked up, and everyone realized that she was actually a woman.

Ten Wu also looked at her.

"Thirteen Yuchen, are you ready?"

Her name is Thirteen Yuchen, she is the only woman among the four Dao Masters, and she is also the most inconspicuous of the Four Dao Masters, and there are very few stories about her.

Thirteen Yuchen still didn't take off his hood, his pointed chin moved, as if nodding.

Then, she lifted her hand, her fingers dropped, her thumb upturned, and then her entire palm thrust forward along her arm, opening like an umbrella.

"The way of heaven is one, and all things return to the source. ”

The woman's voice sounded emotionlessly: "Ruins." ”

When her words fell, several purple-robed Daoists who followed closely behind her immediately sealed and surrounded the Thirteen Yuchen in the center, and countless purple threads were like straight electricity, intertwined between them.

The black-clothed young man smiled: "Sister Yuchen is so powerful, I'm afraid that the Dao Breaking Technique in the entire Nanzhou is unsurpassed, right?"

Thirteen Yuchen replied without emotion: "Do your own thing." ”

The young man in black smiled faintly.

Ten Wu and Fourteen Yi glanced at each other.

They are the two strongest in the Purple Heaven Dao Sect, but even if they join forces before, they can't defeat Hanchi Zhenren, but if the sect has no leader today, what are they afraid of?

The two Dao swords merged in the air, and they actually emitted a light that was not weaker than the Heavenly Sect's mountain protection sword.

The two giant swords faced each other from afar, locking each other, like two huge clouds, slowly approaching and colliding with each other.

The young man in black didn't look at the sword, but instead looked at the sword field.

The smile on his face suddenly dissipated, and he exclaimed, "What about people?"

Ning Chang disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, the four immortal swords of the Heavenly Sect converged as the mountain protection sword, and the two strongest people of the Purple Heaven Dao Sect also greeted each other with the Dao sword, and the Dao Lord Thirteen Yuchen and the black-clothed young man pryed the mountain protection array together, and the life and death of the Sword Heavenly Sect was at stake, everyone was extremely nervous, so they didn't pay much attention to Ning Changjiu.

"Where are you going?" Lu Marry noticed him, but she was controlling the Immortal Sword Minglan at the moment and couldn't pull out.

Ning Chang said: "I'll go see Yan Zhou." ”

Lu married and said nervously: "What do you see him doing? He secretly hid the sword scripture and plotted against him, if he knew that you also practiced that sword, he would punish you." ”

Ning Chang glanced at the crumbling mountain protection array, and just said, "Trust me." ”

Ning Xiaoling also ran over and said eagerly, "Senior brother, I'm ...... I remembered something. ”

Ning Changjiu walked towards Neifeng and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ning Xiaoling said: "Before...... When I tried the sword in the early spring, some images suddenly appeared in my mind, and then you asked me if I remembered anything, and I remembered it that night, but I went to look for you and you were not there, so I forgot about ......it."

Ning Chang's brows tightened.

In this world, it is difficult for a person's memory to be truly erased, and after the huge outline is outlined, the dusty details will also be stripped away.

Ning Xiaoling's simple words made him feel a little headache, and then, he saw the silhouette shrouded in gray mist.

"What do you remember?" asked Ning Changjiu.

Ning Xiaoling said: "Snake! There is a big snake's bones, wrapped around the dragon entanglement pillar, and there are many lamps and objects all over the ground...... Like, it seems that there is another person!"

Ning Chang's footsteps paused slightly, he closed his eyes, and countless pictures rushed into his mind at once, those pictures were like vague nightmares, through the heavy gray and black fog, showing its true face little by little in the blurred lights.

Bottom of the Heavenly Cave Peak...... Lampposts, evil contaminated holy vessels, white bone serpents, stone statues, old men.

Along a line, these hidden memories are uprooted.

Ning Changjiu finally understood why he was so sure that the big snake in Liantian Town was one of the heads of the Nine Infants, because his subconscious was telling himself that the real Ba Snake was somewhere else—its bones were at the bottom of the Heavenly Cave Peak.

But who was that old man? Why did he tamper with his own memories?

Grave Keeper......

What is the use of the bones of the snake?

Ning Chang couldn't figure it out for a while, and there were more urgent things waiting for him in front of him.

"Senior sister, thank you. Ning Changjiu said: "If I don't come back, remember to send the Phantom Snow Lotus to the Imperial City and give it to Zhao Xiang'er." ”

"Ah...... Senior brother, what are you going to do?" Ning Xiaoling grabbed his sleeve and didn't let him go.

Ning Chang rubbed her head.

His side

Lit up with a lot of sparkling aura, he broke Ning Xiaoling's fingers one by one, and then reversed the small flying array, found the location of the book in the book pavilion, his body sank, the space of the two overlapped, Ning Changjiu's figure disappeared on the peak, and appeared in the book pavilion instead.

Ning Xiaoling looked at the empty front, remembered Senior Brother Fang Cai's words, wiped her eyes, she knew that Senior Brother went to the Book Pavilion and wanted to chase after her, but she bit her arm and calmed herself down with pain, she told herself that she couldn't make trouble for Senior Brother now, the bad guys outside were coming, she had to work with Shizun to drive them away.

......

"What are you doing here?" Yan Zhou raised his eyelids and glanced at him.

Ning Chang said: "The Sword Heavenly Sect is in danger, do the seniors have to sit idly by?"

Yan Zhou's voice was old: "I'm just an old man looking at the library, if they want to step into here, I will kill people immediately." ”

Ning Changchang said: "The predecessors have been imprisoned in the Book Pavilion for so many years, it is time to come to an end. ”

Yan Zhou said: "I once made a blood oath that I would never leave the Book Pavilion if I could not find the Sword Sutra. ”

Ning Chang closed his eyes, was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Senior, a long time ago, you should have died." ”

"What did you say?" Yan Zhou frowned.

Ning Chang said: "When I came to the Book Pavilion on the first day, I felt that your state was very wrong, as if you were going to die at any time. ”

Yan Zhou smiled: "The old man is like this, I don't know if I can wake up tomorrow when I sleep...... yes, I'm going to die. ”

Ning Changjiu shook his head and said, "But you have been alive for so many years." ”

Yan Zhou said: "The Longevity Realm can still live for two hundred years, what is the wonder of the Purple Court Realm living for hundreds of years? When the Sword Sutra was stolen, I was injured by the Sword Sutra, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't be so old at this moment......

Ning Chang sighed and said: "The Heavenly Oracle Sword Sutra is a sword scripture that kills with one move, and it will not be injured, but will only die." ”

Yan Zhou clasped his hands on his sleeves, and his breath gradually calmed down: "What do you want to say?"

Ning Chang stared into his eyes and asked, "Is the one who is alive now really Uncle Yan Zhou?"

"You...... Say what?"

The old man's pupils suddenly dilated.

......

"All things have spirits, and this is even more true of the Sword Sutra, which is a divine object. Ning Chang speculated about what happened back then: "Many years ago, the Heavenly Oracle Sword Sutra gave birth to a machine spirit, and the machine spirit, like all life in the world, longs for freedom, and the first thing it needs to do to get free is to break the cage in front of it. So he bewitched the nearest caretaker, that is, Uncle Shizu. ”

"You were deceived by the spirit of the Sword Sutra and released it...... But the suzerain arrived quickly. The machine spirit does not want to be sealed again, but it also perceives that it cannot become a truly free person, and its existence must depend on the existence of the object. Ning Changjiu's speech was fast, but clear.

He stared at Yan Zhou's eyes and continued, "So it came up with a solution, parasitism, which will smash the Heavenly Oracle Sword Sutra into your body and make you a container for parasitism. So you were injured at the time...... In fact, this is not that the machine spirit wants to hurt you and escape, but that it wants to polish your body directly into a form that can be contained by it. ”

"Later, the sect master arrived, saw that you were seriously injured, and learned from your mouth that the Sword Sutra had escaped. Ning Changjiu said: "In fact, the Sword Sutra occupies you, and the injuries caused by the Sword Sutra to you are enough to make you die...... But once you die, it will also be exposed, so it has been hanging you all these years. ”

Yan Zhou listened to his words, and his dilated pupils gradually recondensed and formed: "What...... How is that possible?"

Ning Chang said: "The Sword Sutra has always been hidden in your body, so you can feel his presence, but you can't find it in the Book Pavilion. It has been hidden in the back of your consciousness. Uncle Shi, in a sense, you are the Sword Sutra......"

Yan Zhou asked, "Well...... What exactly does it want to do?"

Ning Changjiu gave the answer: "Look for the next body that can be parasitic." ”

Yan Zhou's face turned pale, as if he was a little older.

Ning Changjiu explained: "At the beginning, he forcibly opened your body into a container and almost killed you directly, and you are still like this, of course, others can't bear it...... So it kept looking for someone, and in the end, it chose me, and in its eyes, I was the only one who had any hope of learning the Sword Sutra. ”

Ning Chang remembered the scene of Yan Zhou's sword practice in his dream, and said: "It deliberately pretended these sword moves as sleepwalking, just to let me learn, and after I learned the Sword Sutra, it could parasitize on me, leave the Sword Heavenly Sect, and then eat away at my consciousness little by little, and become a real 'human'"

"Nan Cheng also told me that he had seen me practice swords in my dreams. Yan Zhou said suddenly.

Ning Chang was stunned for a long time, and understood why Yan Zhou picked Nan Cheng back then and asked him to go to Hidden Peak for retreat, and why did Nan Cheng practice his sword body...... That should also be the bewitchment of the Sword Sutra, if Nan Cheng cultivates into a sword body, he may have the qualifications to practice the Sword Sutra and become a container for it to escape outside.

He wanted to see a miracle in Nan Cheng, but Nan Cheng practiced his sword body and almost died because of it.

"After waiting for so many years, I finally waited for me. Ning Changjiu's voice was sad: "Are you happy?"

Yan Zhou also figured out a lot of things, he slowly got up, looked at his body, and pressed his hand on his chest, as if he wanted to shovel into the flesh and blood like a shovel, and dig out the soul hidden deep in his body.

"Original...... So. Yan Zhou laughed slowly: "Losing the Sword Sutra is something I have to do with Hanchi in my life...... It turned out that it was a fan of the authorities. ”

Ning Chang looked at him quietly, waiting for an answer.

"You're smart. After a long time, Yan Zhou raised his head again, and at this moment, his voice had changed, becoming childish, and he couldn't even distinguish the gender: "It seems that I didn't look away." ”

Ning looked at him for a long time, knowing that the machine spirit had reversed consciousness and occupied Yan Zhou.

Yan Zhou said, "You want this old man to give you a sword now, but I can kill him at any time." ”

Ning Chang said: "Tell your conditions." ”

Yan Zhou said: "I don't want to go back to that cage again, I can help you with the sword today, but you have to let me into your body and take me away, okay?"

Ning Chang said: "I promise you." ”

Yan Zhou said coldly: "Don't think about cheating, in front of me, learn the remaining six styles, and you won't be able to run away if you want to." ”

Ning Changjiu smiled, if it weren't for the delay in marrying and refining Lu at the beginning, he might have finished learning the Sword Sutra a long time ago, if that was the case, Yan Zhou would have died unconsciously, and there would be one more parasite in his body unconsciously.

Even he was slightly afraid.

Ning Changjiu wrote down these six forms, and then said, "I want to ask Uncle Yan Zhou's opinion. ”

He replied, "What is the opinion of this old man, and if it were not for me, he would have died." ”

Ning Chang looked at him stubbornly.

The machine spirit sighed, his consciousness sank, Yan Zhou woke up slowly, the old dragon bell looked like he couldn't even lift a crutch, he knew what the machine spirit and Ning Changjiu had said before, the old man laughed with relief: "Lost in the game for decades, being a puppet without knowing it, how ridiculous is it...... Now I heard that it was okay to die......"

Ning Changjiu bowed deeply and said, "Uncle Shi is righteous." ”

The old man laughed wildly, and the old tears were all over the place.

In the Heavenly Cave Peak, the sword qi suddenly rose three hundred zhang.
