Chapter 334: I don't know if I am a guest in my dream
I...... How do you have such a dream?
Zhao Xiang'er opened her eyes, she raised her left hand slightly, picked up a strand of hair on her right cheek, gently pinched and stroked her lips, her thin and upturned lips opened slightly, and she brushed the hair between her lips, she held the sword of the red umbrella and slowly supported her body, the wind knife blowing in front of her pressed her skirt, her cold cheeks were sickly white, but her expression was as cold as frost.
Earlier, she dreamed that she had come to a Taoist temple, the buildings behind her and the mountains were undulating in black, and in front of her was the moonlight like water, and a round of ice shadows was like a perfect circle, hanging in the sky, close at hand.
She walked out of the view as she wished.
She vaguely felt that she was following someone behind her, but she didn't look back.
She looked at the moon, drew her sword, and subconsciously told her that this was the day of the ascension, because she was in a dream, her consciousness was chaotic, and she did not have doubts, so she obeyed her heart, and flew away with the sword, running towards the bright moon, she looked at the moon, and vaguely felt that someone in the moon was talking to her, but she couldn't hear clearly.
Then she woke up.
What a simple and weird dream...... Zhao Xiang'er's tense heartstrings gradually loosened, her lips moved, and the green silk fell back from between her scarlet lips, revealing her porcelain white tiny teeth, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the girl's eyes gradually opened.
It should be that the trial was too tired, so he fell asleep directly by the sword.
She didn't sleep long, and immediately cheered up. She stared at the burning fire in the sky and the sword-like bones under her feet, sighed and drew her sword, and walked forward along the path of bones among the flames.
The wounds on her body had not healed, and the blood dripped down her red dress and dripped, dotting the white bones all over the ground with red.
The trial lasted for a month.
She had to kill all the demons and monsters in this proving ground within a month, slash them back into the abyss of fire, and burn them to bones, otherwise the trial would end in failure.
The blood on the umbrella sword gradually dripped away, revealing the smooth surface of the thin sword.
Ahead, in the center of an open fire, a giant egg like a fossil swayed, and with the arrival of Zhao Xiang'er, the fossilized egg broke open, and a big white bone bird full of bone spurs, chest, wings, and crown of its head were burning with flames, and one side of its wings was cut off.
As soon as it soared, the world around it began to vibrate, countless flames twisted and flew towards it, between the broken wings of the white-boned bird, a thick arm grew out, and the flames that flew from it condensed into a blade in its palm, it held the knife, opened its long beak, and roared at Zhao Xiang'er.
Around the fire, the space condensed into a wall, and only the five realms could be broken, and Zhao Xiang'er stepped into it, and there was no way out.
Her fingers flew, and the slender sword was like a fire butterfly leaping from her fingertips.
She forgot the bizarre dream just now, held the red umbrella in her backhand, threw it violently, spun and smashed it towards the big bird, at the same time, she held the sword with both hands, and the figure jumped up violently after an arrow step, and the brilliance of slashing the sky and destroying the sea bloomed on the blade, Zhao Xiang'er snorted, and slashed at the head of the white bone giant bird.
The giant bird swung its sword and blocked. Its wings swirled with fire, its long outstretched beak and teeth intertwined, and it let out a soul-tearing scream of rage at its inadgressors.
The flames of battle crossed the sky like a giant ship.
......
......
Ning Chang and Si Ming stopped near the demon city on the top of the mountain. The walls are painted with 'white bone statues', which are precious inks made from animal bones and mixed with the blood of ancient gods, and the painted objects will not fade for thousands of years.
"This is just a business sparrow, when the Shang country came out of the tyrant, the folk demon disasters are frequent, this finch took advantage of the chaos to rise, to people for food, and then when the old Taoist priest descended the demon, the business finch was cut off a wing, since then the business finch is missing, and then it got an ancient god ape bone, with its arm on its own body. Si Ming looked at the bird on the white bone portrait and introduced.
"Shangque ......" Ning Changjiu nodded lightly, his eyes swept over the portrait of the long mountain road, the portrait was full of strange-shaped birds, their appearances were fierce and hideous, and they all looked like demon birds that had caused trouble in the world.
Si Ming gave a brief explanation of some of these famous birds.
At the end of the mountain road at both ends, the picture turns, those dark and terrifying birds are gone, at the end of one side, is a Dapeng bird with extremely long feathers, wearing dense armor, wings burning golden fire, and at the end of the other side, there is a peacock with an emerald green crown and woven feathers like a glow, the peacock screen is wide open, and the feathers between the screens are peerless swords.
The two torii looked condescendingly at the demon sparrow below, with indifferent expressions.
"This is the Golden-winged Roc and the Peacock King. Si Ming said lightly: "Legend has it that the ancient demon sparrows were devoured by the golden-winged Dapeng and the peacock king, refined into a demon trick, and between these two sacred birds, there was a big battle that shocked the world, the outcome is unknown, many years later, the golden-winged Dapeng reappeared, but the peacock king has never been nowhere to be found. ”
"Golden-winged Dapeng ......" Ning Changjiu repeated in a low voice and asked, "The legendary Sky Devouring Dapeng bird that feeds on dragons?"
"Hmm. Si Ming nodded and said: "The Golden-winged Dapeng is very powerful, it is said that it and the Peacock King are both birds that obtained the power of the Barren River when they were left behind when the Barren River Dragon Sparrow Nirvana was a Vermilion Bird. ”
"I see. Ning Chang nodded, and then asked, "What about the three-legged golden crow?"
"Huh. Si Ming sneered and said, "Do you still need me to say this? You take it out yourself, compare it with the portrait, and don't you make a judgment?"
Ning Chang said: "What I asked about it...... At its peak. ”
"The Golden Crow was at its peak, but it would not have been possible to almost occupy the sun, although it was not the real sun. Si Ming's eyes were gloomy, and he smiled: "Alas, the glory is all a thing of the past, how can it be like this when a divine sparrow is in your hands?" or ...... Is it a natural fit for you?"
Ning Chang squinted his eyes, looked at her with the same smile, and said, "If the contract doesn't fit, it still has to be said by the priest." Do you want to try it tonight?"
Si Ming's smile suddenly disappeared, she took off the demon fox mask and covered her face, diverted the topic, and said coldly: "There is the mountain gate in front, keep the rules, don't always cause trouble!"
The two crossed the white bone statues of Dapeng and the peacock, and walked to the top of the lion camel mountain, there are no decent houses on the top of the lion camel mountain, but there are countless caves in the mountain gate, those caves are crowded on the mountain peak, it looks like a black piece, like a coal nest, in the cave, from time to time, there are monsters wearing animal skins with weapons to walk in.
"Whoever is coming, report the name!" Two monsters with weapons surrounded them, and their halberds staggered, blocking their way.
Ning Chang said: "I'm here to find a demon." ”
"Looking for a demon, what kind of goblin are you looking for?" the little demon looked at the mask on the face of the black-robed woman and said, "There are no fox demons here!"
Ning Chang said: "I'm here to find your king. ”
"The king?" the two monsters with weapons looked at each other, laughed, and said, "Dream!
......
"Your Majesty, this ...... This guest is looking for you, but the little dissuasion can't lead the way. The goblin said resignedly.
A white elephant sat in the middle of the cave with a burly figure, surrounded by a pile of weapons, not swords, axes and axes, but heavy blunt weapons. The White Elephant Demon is the great demon at the peak of the Purple Court Realm, it has guarded Lion Camel Mountain for many years, and it has been a long time since it has seen a visiting guest.
It looked at Ning Changjiu for a moment, and then looked at the black-robed woman, as if she was facing a great enemy.
"Got it, you can step back first. The white elephant shook its nose at the goblin.
After the little goblin left, the white elephant demon got up and looked at them, and said, "The two of you came from afar, I don't know what you are doing?"
Ning Changchang smiled and said, "We are admirers of the saint and want to know about the deeds of the saint." ”
The white elephant demon's expression was much kinder all of a sudden, and said: "I see, I should have come to look for trouble, the two are strong in Taoism, and they admire the saints, so they can be regarded as friends of my demon clan, but today's time is in a hurry, and it is too late to set up a banquet to entertain." ”
"Don't bother. Ning Changchang smiled kindly and said: "I have long heard that the white elephant general of Lion Camel Mountain has a mana to the sky and a majestic bearing, and it is really extraordinary when I see it today." ”
"Praise it. The white elephant led them to sit down, looked at the woman with the fox mask, and asked, "......Who is this?"
Si Ming said lightly: "I am his master." ”
The White Elephant Demon did not doubt it, because it felt a breath far greater than that of the Purple Court on the other party's body, which was also the reason why he treated this pair of uninvited guests with such courtesy.
Ning Chang reluctantly took over the identity of this slave for the time being.
The white elephant demon said: "When the saint was born, I was still a little minion, and the Taoism was far inferior to now, so I was really worthy of the name of the demon king......"
As it spoke, it recalled some of the past events, but the white elephant had not yet become a refinement, and it was one of the war machines in the battle with the ancient gods, rampaging through the military formation, disrupting the opponent's arrangement. It was also a giant elephant that had experienced a hundred battles back then, and it broke into a prestigious name, but it was still far from being able to see the saint himself, so he only told some stories on the side.
Ning Chang listened quietly, he didn't care much about what the white elephant said, he just smiled and nodded in agreement. He asked questions about the saints, mainly to get close, so that it was convenient to ask some of the secrets he wanted to know, the secrets of the Ten Thousand Demon City, otherwise he would rely on force to ask questions, which would not only seem abrupt, but might also cause trouble.
After the white elephant demon finished talking about the saint he knew, Ning Chang thanked him a few times, and then asked casually: "I see that on the mountain road at the time, the Dapeng and the peacock painted on both sides are lifelike and moving, I don't know what it means?"
The White Elephant Demon thought for a moment and explained, "The Golden-Winged Roc is my third brother, and when it was at its weakest, it was saved by me and Big Brother Leo. However, the third brother's Taoism is far above me and the eldest brother. ”
Ning Changchang asked, "What about the peacock?"
The white elephant demon said: "The peacock is the third brother's lifelong enemy, after the fierce battle, although the peacock is gone, but the third brother has a deep sympathy for it, not only painted a white bone painting, but also made a peacock statue on the mountain." ”
"I see. Ning thought for a long time and said, "Thank you Demon King for solving your doubts, oh, that's right......"
Ning Chang said, took out the stick from his sleeve, handed it to the white elephant demon, and said: "On the way I came, I met a little monkey who told fortunes at the bottom of the mountain, and asked for a signature, but because of the shallow eye sockets, I couldn't understand it, and I hope the demon king can help solve the puzzle." ”
The white elephant demon took the slender signature, frowned, and said: "These magic sticks have been rushed and rushed, and they can't be finished, this kind of thing doesn't have to be taken seriously." ”
As it spoke, it looked at the two lines on the signature, and its trunk furrowed.
"Longevity is boundless, ask the white deer, immortality asks the jade toad?white deer...... Longevity without borders......"
The White Elephant Demon suddenly laughed and said, "This signature is crooked." ”
"What do you say?" Ning Changjiu asked immediately.
The White Elephant Demon said: "There is a White Deer Demon in Bhikshu Peak, and I have known each other for a long time, and it has been asking for a long life all day long, but it is in response to this sign." ”
"Bhikshu Peak?" Ning Changjiu asked, "How did this White Deer Demon King ask for longevity?"
The white elephant demon said: "There is a divine tree under the bhikshu peak, and the divine tree is almost dead, but it will still bear a holy fruit every few months, and it is said that if you gather 1,110 holy fruits, you can get the power of immortality." What do you do when you ask?"
The white weaver became vigilant.
Ning Changjiu arched his hand and smiled: "We are just traveling to the Ten Thousand Demon City, thinking that if this city is robbed one day, we can also record the deeds of the demon king here, compile it into a book, and spread it in the world." ”
Si Ming on the side said lightly.
The white elephant demon suddenly realized and said, "I see, I see." ”
The two chatted for a while, very speculative, and when Ning Changjiu talked with it about some demon reincarnation, he asked: "I heard that there is a famous ghost emperor demon here, I have admired it for a long time, and I don't know which peak I live in." ”
The White Elephant Demon was puzzled: "Where did the Ghost Emperor come from in Ten Thousand Demon City?"
......
The two came down from the Lion Camel Mountain and walked the mountain road again.
"I've asked for so long, and I haven't asked for any results. Si Ming's voice was slightly resentful.
Ning Chang said: "This is also expected. Alas, anyway, I know the location of this white deer. ”
"Heh, do you really believe in this signature?" Si Ming smiled: "You are so sick and rushed to the doctor?"
Ning Changchang pressed his finger on the signature and said, "I'm just a little in awe of the fixed number in the dark." ”
Si Ming didn't say a word about this, but said: "According to the map drawn on the Kanyu map, the bhikshu peak is still not a short distance from here, so there is no need to go straight for a broken sign." ”
"Well, the original route is fine-tuned, let's go through one peak after another, from here, the black chicken, Che Chi, Zhu Zi, the daughter and then the monks. Ning Changchang said.
Si Ming smiled and said, "I think you mainly want to go to Daughter Mountain, right?"
Ning Changjiu also smiled: "The appearance of Miss Si claiming to be the master before, it is really majestic." ”
"You...... What do you want to do?" Under the fox demon mask, Si Ming's vigilant eyes were filled with fear.
......
On the lion's hump, the white elephant came to the eye of the wall, and it stretched out its hand and pulled out the wood that was plugged into the wall, and in a short time a yellow finch chirped and pounced.
The white elephant demon stretched out his hand and stuffed a small roll of paper into the beak of the yellow finch, and it recited a demon sentence in its mouth: "Give the white deer birthday star." ”
The yellow finch answered the order and flapped its wings and flew away.
......
Ning Changjiu and Si Ming followed the original route, and searched for one peak after another.
In Wuji Peak, Ning Chang saw a green-haired lion, but it didn't recognize the bell, and it didn't have any nine heads. It's just that when Ning Changjiu asked if there were nine lions, the green-haired lion was shocked and asked in a cold voice, "What are you looking for the Nine Spirit Yuan Saint Ancestor?"
Ning Chang explained the old things about the bell, and the green-haired lion eased up a little, and said, "The master has long been in the sky...... Well, in the deepest retreat of the Ten Thousand Demon City, don't say that it is an outsider like you, even I am not qualified to enter, and this bell does not look like an important thing, but don't break into that forbidden place because of this. ”
Ning Changjiu nodded, he put away the bell, remembered the name of the Nine Spirits Yuan Sage, and then came to the next mountain with Si Ming.
Chechi Peak is a gathering of three peaks, the mountain peak carved into the appearance of a three-headed demon head, respectively, the tiger, the deer, the sheep three-headed demon king, they all call themselves the national teacher, when they work together, they have the strength of the five realms, each holds a authority on weekdays, and guards the three mountains respectively.
Ning Chang didn't waste time visiting them one by one, he only let Si Ming explore to see if there were any traces of the authority of the Hades Monarch on the peak, Si Ming didn't sense it, and the two went to the next mountain.
The demon king of Zhu Zishan is a golden retriever who walks like a horse, has scales, and can spit out golden flames in his mouth.
This mountain is half a shemale, and the living environment is much better than the previous peaks. At this time, the twilight is shrouded, the mountain peaks are immersed in the remnant sun, and the statue of the golden retriever seems to be ignited, reflecting the light.
Si Ming glanced at the statue of the demon king, and then condescendingly, looked around the entire demon city, and said, "Let's stay here tonight." ”
Ning Chang nodded in agreement.
The two found an inn opened by humans to live in, which was much more spacious and bright, with all kinds of furniture.
Si Ming stretched his body lazily and said, "The legendary Ten Thousand Demon City is similar to the cultivation sect of the human race, all of which are built on the peak, gathering the essence of heaven and earth aura, sun and moon. It's just that the object of cultivation has been changed from a human to a demon. ”
Ning Chang looked at her figure bathing in the sunset and said, "Now this Vermilion Purple Peak is even more brilliant. ”
Si Ming chuckled, turned his head, squinted at him, and said, "Although what you said is true, your sycophancy really makes people unhappy." ”
Ning Chang said: "Then what are you laughing at?"
The corners of Si Ming's lips were immediately smoothed, and she shook her sleeves and closed the window. The sunlight turned into lattices and reflected on her face.
"Less nonsense. Si Ming opened his mouth quietly, walked to the mirror platform, and said, "Comb my hair for me." ”
Ning Chang did not refuse, took the wooden comb handed by Si Ming, and carefully combed the hair on her ankles vertically.
After combing his hair, Ning Chang was a little thirsty, he took a fruit from his fruit bowl, peeled the skin, and was about to eat it, but was snatched by Si Ming and took a bite.
"Why do you rob everything. Ning Changchang was very angry.
Si Ming bit the sweet fruit and said, "Didn't you say that I was a robber? ”
Ning Chang said: "Then why don't I eliminate harm for the people tonight?"
Si Ming had already bitten the fruit and walked to the side of the bed, took out the red thread and pulled it up, dividing the bed into half of the territory.
Ning Chang looked at Si Ming's curve when he bent down to pick up the quilt, silently looked away, indulged her banditry, and silently took another new fruit to peel, and he cursed weakly: "I wish you a good dream tonight." ”
"Accept your good words. Si Ming said lightly, unimpressed.
Ning Changjiu said that Si Ming did have a strange dream tonight, and this dream was like a continuation of the last nightmare.
Once again, she saw the back of the moon.
Si Ming was hesitating whether to use his sword to slash the heart demon, but he saw that the back figure was the first to turn around and shake off the thousands of sword shadows.
On the long river of moonlight, it seems to have snowed heavily.
Every snowflake is sword intent.
Si Ming slowly raised his head and looked at the majestic snow, looking shocked.
She recognized these sword intents - it was her own sword!
But there are some details that seem to be a little different.
She stared at these details, carefully examining them, the brilliance in her eyes changing, and marveling at the subtlety of the sword move.
She originally thought that her Dao technique was already outstanding, and this set of her original sword techniques was as perfect as hers, even the most discerning kendo masters throughout the ages could not find any problems.
But...... In her dreams tonight, she saw something almost miraculous.
"It's beautiful......" Si Ming said sincerely.
She was immersed in this heavy snow, letting the snow fall on her shoulders, soaked in the cold, just motionless, obsessed with the snow.
What a miracle this is...... She watched it for a long time, and gradually burst into tears.
After a long time, the snow finally stopped, and she was drowned in the snowflakes and became a snowman.
When Si Ming woke up, it was only the middle of the night.
She sat up from her bed and recalled her previous dream...... Such dreams are all too real...... Intense emotions welled up in her heart, and she recalled the sword moves of her people, and found that they were not hallucinations in dreams, but real, absolutely perfect things......
This...... What the hell is going on?!
Si Ming was ecstatic and fearful.
The one who can perfect the sword move to this point is definitely an existence at the level of the Lord of the Kingdom of God, is it ...... Could it be that Bai Zangtuo dreams of using me as a pawn?
No, it's not!
Si Ming lowered his head, thinking about the shadow of the green silk and white clothes. The woman dreamed of it...... What's more, she and I are clearly enemies of the same day!
Si Ming's eyes lit up, and he thought of another possibility - this is his own perception!
Maybe over the years, I have been subconsciously aware of the flaws of my sword moves, and it is not until today that I finally integrate them to perfection and manifest them through my dreams......! Si Ming's heart is even hotter, in this case, doesn't it just show that he has the potential to become the lord of the kingdom of God!
Is this the true guide of fate......? Are you finally going to break your own bottleneck?
Si Ming woke up suddenly, and the burning emotions penetrated her limbs, making it difficult for her to sleep again.
"What's wrong?" Ning asked after a long time of not falling asleep, looking at the woman who suddenly woke up.
But seeing that Si Ming's eyes looked at him also changed, his smile was shallow, but he was full of confidence and pride. Generally speaking, this kind of look is only possessed when Si Ming threatens to take revenge on him in the future.
Ning Chang was confused.
I saw Si Ming get up and put on his clothes, slowly walked to the ground, walked gracefully, and said softly: "You sleep first, I'll repair the sword for a while, and I won't disturb you." ”
"Don't get too tired. Ning Chang said with concern, and then he also became sleepy and slowly fell asleep.
......
In the Three Thousand Worlds, Zhao Xiang'er pulled out his umbrella sword from the back of the white bone merchant bird, and with the pull of the umbrella sword, the flames of this huge white bone bird were extinguished, and the bones collapsed, turning into ashes and scattered on the ground, being swallowed by the blade in its hand.
The walls of the surrounding air condensed shattered.
"It's really hard to kill......"
Zhao Xiang'er swayed and breathed a sigh of relief, her red dress swayed lonely, holding the sword, hanging her head, her chest rose and fell, she slowly knelt on the ground, looking at the shadow of her cheeks on the blade of the sword, and a sense of weakness and weakness poured into her body.
She didn't rush to the next demon's location, but crossed her slender legs, clasped the hilt of her sword with both hands, rested her forehead against the back of her hand, and rested for a while.
Before she knew it, she was asleep.
