Chapter 338: The Feast of Longevity

The sound of the catharsis of the torrential rain did not stop overnight, and the clouds gathered like thousands of horses, rushing over the ancient city, and the thunder and lightning echoed like the sound of heavenly horses.

Si Ming sat alone by the window, her long silver hair hanging down to the ground, winding and stacking, her cheeks like snow reflected the electric light, she opened her eyes, her gaze turned to the sky, where her gaze fell, there was an electric fire tearing open the sky, as if the celestial phenomena were not natural, but the reflection of the phantom in her pupils.

The overwhelming rainstorm seemed to isolate the world, and Si Ming's cheeks became more and more indifferent, and that indifference was not cold, but ruthless.

She stared at the torrential rain, and her spiritual world seemed to be usurped by the torrential rain, overwhelmed by the cold rain.

This state has lasted for many days, and Si Ming knows that this is a sign that the divinity has returned to the body, and when the divinity returns completely, she will be able to suppress her human nature that has wantonly invaded the sea of knowledge like weeds in the seven hundred years of suffering, and become the dominant spirit.

This should have been a joyful event, symbolizing that she could go further on the steps to the Lord of God's kingdom.

But instead of being happy at this moment, Si Ming was deeply afraid. God is proud of everything, and there should be no fear...... But she was always restless.

Si Ming scattered the sword trick in his hand, opened his eyes, got up and closed the window, his back to the torrential rain outside the window, his eyes swept over the room, the carved wooden frame of antlers, the peony brocade vase, and the gums...... Little by little, she established a vague connection with them.

Finally, she looked at Ning Chang in her sleep.

If the monkey demon was present, it could clearly see the dense and complex lines entangled between the two.

Ning Chang slept peacefully tonight and didn't say anything strange.

Si Ming sat on the edge of the bed for a while, watching him, it was almost early morning, and Ning Chang slowly woke up.

Si Ming glanced at him and asked, "What dreams did you have last night?"

Ning Chang rubbed his head and said, "You may not believe it, I'm in a dream, huh...... I read the book all night. ”

A smile appeared on Si Ming's indifferent face: "Your nonsense is really getting more and more fake. ”

Ning Chang sighed, thinking to himself that you believed the lie you told a few days ago, but you didn't believe it when you told the truth today...... Forget it, it's not like this kind of girl who doesn't like to read!

Ning Chang comforted himself in his heart, recalling the mysteries in the volume, and still couldn't help but be amazed.

If it weren't for the current enemy of Bailu's birthday star, he would even want to sleep back.

Si Ming sat down in front of the makeup mirror, Ning Changchang got up in his clothes, walked behind her, and suddenly asked, "Do you want some makeup?"

Si Ming frowned and said, "Do you think it's not beautiful now?"

Ning Chang said: "I'm just curious, if a perfect thing can become more beautiful with another symbol of beauty." ”

"Heh, I'll tell you a story. Si Ming smiled faintly: "There was once a genius monk in the Divine Kingdom, and the speed of his flying sword reached the limit of the rules of the world, and he thought of a way to break through his own speed limit. ”

"What's the solution?" asked Ning Changjiu.

Si Ming smiled: "He stepped on the flying sword, and when the flying sword speed was running to the extreme, he ran on the sword. ”

Ning Chang frowned, not quite understanding the meaning of her words, and just asked, "So do you want to put on some makeup?"

"Play the piano to the cow!" Si Ming snorted coldly, and said indifferently: "The goddess is not stained with dust, everything in the world is dust, including rouge and gouache. ”

Ning Chang sighed, looked at her bright face in the mirror, and combed her long hair, which was already as smooth as silk.

Outside the window, lightning and thunder were not so frequent, but they still rang out from time to time.

The two drank the morning tea sprinkled with deer antler velvet, and chatted for a while, when Si Ming suddenly looked out of Shang Zi's dim window and said, "It's here." ”

......

The clouds above the rainstorm were glowing with a faint silver light in the calm, and a white deer dyed with silver light stepped through the clouds, like stepping on an isolated island on the sea, and jumped dexterously in the direction of the bhikshu peak, and the torrential rain made a roaring sound under the deer's hooves.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door of Ning Chang and Si Ming's room.

Si Ming's fingertips moved slightly, and the door opened gently, and the pink-carved virgin stood outside the door, and was about to come in, but as soon as her feet landed, she exhaled in pain like stepping on a thunder pool, and staggered back.

She looked at the woman sitting quietly in the room, wearing a demon fox mask, and quickly apologized.

But the virgin's heart hides resentment...... Hmph, with such a good figure, but wearing a mask to cover his face, it won't look good if he thinks about it, and this night, the lonely man and widow are in the same room, and there is no movement, which is obviously unreasonable...... Well, it can't be because men can't do it, right?

The virgin lowered her head, her eyes were gloomy, and said, "Childe, girl, the birthday boy grandfather is invited." ”

As she spoke, the virgin took out two red umbrellas and placed them gently by the door.

Si Ming looked at the red umbrella and remembered that Zhao Xiang'er liked the red umbrella, and she said faintly: "Change the umbrella, I don't like this color." ”

The virgin was slightly stunned, only thinking that she was making things difficult for herself, and after secretly scolding, she obediently went to change an antique paper umbrella with beige paper.

Si Ming looked at the virgin, shook his head slightly, and said, "The atmosphere of this Bhikshu Peak is really strange, a little flower spirit dares to be so arrogant to the guests. ”

Ning Changchang smiled: "Could it be that you are too sensitive." ”

Si Ming asked coldly, "Why am I sensitive?"

Ning Chang groaned for a while, remembered many past events, and hesitated: "It's not appropriate to say it." ”

Si Ming was slightly stunned, reacted, her eyes narrowed instantly, and she rushed towards Ning Changjiu.

The virgin shook her head with a sneer when she heard the screams that suddenly sounded in the chamber.

Hmph, let you be arrogant, and when you meet the birthday star's grandfather later, don't you want to become a prisoner?

After the fight in the house ended, Ning Changjiu rubbed his wrists and shoulders and got up helplessly, and Si Ming walked out with his hands behind his back and a frosty face.

Red and beige umbrellas are stretched out in the rain, and the surface of the umbrella is dotted with patterns of small flowers.

In the early spring, the mountain flowers were blooming, and they followed the guidance of the boys and girls, and as they walked along the way, the road washed by the storm was paved with petals, soft as a blanket, and in the quiet morning, a wooden building standing in the distance was already lit up with a warm light.

It was the mansion of Bailu Shouxing, and the plaque read the words 'Wanshou Building'.

The boys and girls led them out of the door.

The door slowly opened, and the luxurious and exquisite decoration of the ancient building came into view, and the virgin and the boy smiled and said, "Welcome." ”

Ning Changjiu and Si Ming walked into the building.

The architectural style of this ancient building is very human style, the ancient wood carvings are also very traditional, all are longevity peach, turtle, white deer, flowers, the four walls of doors and windows are decorated with rice patterns, standing next to the pillar in the wall, there is a rice jar of grains and grains,

The rice in the jar is inexhaustible.

It is conceivable that the person living in this building should be an old man.

And when they had entered the door, they were greeted by boys and girls.

They were only seven or eight years old, but they were all beautiful embryos, they shaved their eyebrows and thrushes, their pink faces were lightly painted, and they smiled softly at the two guests, which was endearing.

Si Ming dismissed this.

"Guest, inside please. ”

The door in front of him slid open in both directions, and each boy and girl lifted a curtain, and the brilliant light came through the inner room, reflecting the rippling brilliance.

Ning Changjiu and Si Ming glanced at each other and walked in slowly.

The inner room has a high dome and a huge space, and the room is in the shape of a semicircle, with a square pool in the middle, in which the candles are reflected, and outside the pool, there are children and boys, dressed in clothes that do not fit their age, and their clothes are colorful and continuous, and they look like a colorful flower.

They knelt on both sides of the road, holding candlesticks in their hands and holding them on their heads, and their immature beauty bloomed in the ambiguous candlelight.

Si Ming glanced lightly, and gently stepped on the soft blanket full of flowers, black clothes and long silver hair swept with her figure, but in this gorgeous hall, it was like a bright breeze.

The immature child who was standing on the side raised her face, and her makeup was exaggerated and cute. She took the two of them's umbrellas, gently tucked them away, and led them to their seats.

The two sat down at the wooden table, which had been arranged.

The boys and girls poured tea for them.

Ning Chang glanced at the tea, and then at Si Ming, Si Ming gently lifted a strand of mask, revealing a perfectly curved jaw, she pressed her lips to the edge of the teacup, gently pressed it, and took a sip, her posture was calm and elegant.

Many boys and girls saw this scene, and they held their breath and watched secretly, although they only saw the tip of the iceberg, they felt the suffocating beauty.

Ning Chang took a sip of tea.

In the pool in front of them, the lotus river lanterns spread out leisurely, and several figures floated out of the river lanterns, turning into the appearance of singers, they were different from the virgins around them, their bodies were graceful and elegant, and they were as graceful as smoke.

Ning Chang quietly enjoyed the dance in the pond, his eyes calm.

At the end of the dance, behind the fire-like screen in front of it, a deer-like shadow stepped out, and it came out of the screen but turned into an old man with a cane and a smile.

The old man had white hair and a long beard, combed a bun, and a stone camellia was pinned to the bun.

He held a whisk in his right hand, a cane in his left hand, and a yellow-black robe full of hexagrams.

The old man arched his hand at Ning Changjiu and Si Ming, and said, "The two distinguished guests came from afar, not to mention that the old man was disappointed, and he made the distinguished guests wait for two more days, which is really guilty." ”

"It doesn't matter. Ning Changjiu also said politely to him.

Bailu Shouxing slowly walked to the other side of the pool, and he asked with a smile: "I don't know what Gongzi likes?" The old man has also been operating on this mountain for hundreds of years, and there are countless jewelry beauties in the world, I don't know if I can enter the eyes of the two." ”

Si Ming looked around and said, "This is what you call a beauty?"

In the Wanshou Building, those childish virgins who were holding candles or vases all looked sad, but they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Bailu Shouxing smiled and said: "These are all flower essences that are one in a million, each of them is an excellent embryo, and it will be an unborn beauty in the future. ”

Ning Chang thought of the flower protection bell on the mountainside, which was pulled up to drive the white deer to steal food.

Thinking of this, he looked at the flower essence in the Wanshou Building and the old man in the Taoist robe with white hair, and couldn't help but feel a chill.

Bailu Shouxing clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Ling'er, Huan'er, come and dance to the guests." ”

The two virgins walked out of the crowd, they came to the center of the Wanshou Tower with a graceful gait, their posture rose tall with their footsteps, they bowed deeply, and conjured the piano and colored satin in their hands, one stroked the piano, and the other danced, dancing the already gorgeous lights even more dazzlingly.

Ning didn't go to see the woman dancing and stroking the piano for a long time, just staring at the Bailu birthday star.

Bailu Shouxing squinted and smiled, he also looked at each other, and said, "The two of you have only been in Ten Thousand Demon City for a long time. ”

Ning Changchang smiled: "It's really not a few days. ”

Bailu Shouxing said: "Ten Thousand Demon City has escaped a lot of goblins recently, alas, I don't know where the rumors came from, saying that the saint is going to die, this city is going to collapse, scared many elves who can't sit still and escaped overnight, and there are a lot fewer guests who come to Ten Thousand Demon City, and it is not easy for two people to come all the way." ”

Ning Changchang asked, "How do you know that we have come all the way?"

Bailu Shouxing shaved his beard, smiled without saying a word, and the virgin on the side said in a milky voice: "I have already told the guests, our birthday grandfather has great powers, and he has exhausted the calculations of heaven and man, and when the two guests came, grandpa let us be ready to welcome guests." ”

Si Ming laughed softly: "The calculation of heaven and man? is it because of the world-known heavenly list?"

Ning Changjiu also understood.

The Heavenly List had issued a list to recall the authority of the Hades Monarch scattered in all directions, and the White Deer Birthday Star obviously also got the news, and he happened to have a copy in his hand, so he knew in advance that they would find the Ten Thousand Demon City sooner or later.

Bailu Shouxing looked at the woman in the fox mask and said, "Your Excellency is the rumored fourth sect master in the world?"

Si Ming didn't think that this fourth in the world was a good name, her attitude was not cold, she blew away the heat floating on the tea surface, and snorted.

Bailu Shouxing looked at the young man on the side and asked, "Then this is ......?"

Si Ming said: "Disciple of the sect. ”

The White Deer birthday star nodded thoughtfully, re-weighing their identities.

"......" Ning Chang thought to himself, it is better to be an apprentice than a slave.

Si Ming took a sip of tea, pushed the teacup in front of him, and said, "Apprentice, help the teacher to fill it." ”

Ning Changjiu became more and more suspicious that she had a certain tendency, but when he went out, he still gave Si Ming enough face: "Yes, Master." ”

Si Ming nodded in satisfaction.

Bailu Shouxing looked at the pair of masters and apprentices who had a good relationship, and said: "How about the two days of stay? My children are still well entertained? If the guests don't like singing and dancing, I also have a friend named Hundred-faced Fox, who has set up a troupe in the outer city and performs everything, and I can call him over to celebrate the two of them when the time comes." ”

Si Ming chuckled and shook his head, and said: "No need, it's not surprising to jump the fire ring, break the boulder, and play the harlequin, I can sing and dance in vain, and I often amuse me with this." ”

"......" Ning Changjiu gritted his teeth and said, "Master, it's good that you're happy." ”

Bailu Shouxing smiled for a while and exclaimed, "Expensive."

The disciples of the sect are really versatile. ”

Ning drank tea silently for a long time.

Si Ming put down the teacup, and the brilliant lights in the building seemed to dim a little.

She said, "Let's get down to business, you know what we came to want." ”

Bailu Shouxing smiled slightly, and said, "Before getting down to business, let Lao Yu tell you a story first." ”

The two didn't speak, they looked at him quietly, Bailu Shouxing was a strong man who had just entered the Five Realms, but he still felt the prickly feeling of accumulating needles, his expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "A long, long time ago, although the demon clan was also in decline, but the world is vast, and there are always many places to stay, but in the past demon city, most of them are pig pens forbidden by the ancient gods, and the demons raised in them are no different from chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs." ”

The boys and girls were all silent, and the candlelight in their hands dimmed a little.

"A thousand years ago, the country of bhikshus was a special place, living in a corner, not yet touched by the ancient gods, during which there were auspicious clouds into the sun, flowers and brocades, immortals scattered peaches, and purple qi from the east......

However, there is no eternal pure land in the world, and soon after, the bhikshu country set foot in an ancient god, and the ancient god called himself the king, he founded the country in the bhikshu country, and forced me and the hundred-faced fox to be the national teacher. But one day......"

Bailu Shouxing's words paused, and he sighed: "One day, the monarch summoned me and the hundred-faced fox, led me to the secret room of the forbidden land, and showed us a holy artifact descending from heaven...... It was an alchemy furnace with an octagonal eaves treasure pavilion on the shelves, yin and yang painted on the bottom, and four bronze dragons tied to it! The hearth was full of soot, and the flames had stopped. The monarch called it the Taishang Immortal Furnace, which is said to be a relic of the Immortal Court that fell to the world. ”

"The monarch told us that this furnace can refine the elixir of immortality!"

Hearing this, Ning Chang couldn't help but shake his head.

Bailu Shouxing continued: "Alchemy requires medicinal materials, and he wants to borrow our hands to kill 1,110 young demons, take their hearts, and use them as medicine to refine into a peerless elixir. ”

"Of course, the hundred-faced fox and I don't want to kill our kind. In the forbidden land, we exchanged glances, and then pounced on the king...... Alas, it had been a long time since I had woken up with it again, and in front of us there was a pile of living, beating hearts, and in front of the disk of the hearts stood a black shadow, and beside the shadow stood a spear, and on the spear was a head, which was the head of the king. ”

Ning Chang asked, "That black shadow is a saint?"

"yes. Bailu Shouxing sighed, showing a look of remembrance, and said, "The monarch has controlled our spirit and made us the culprit of alchemy, even ...... When the saint came to the bhikshu country, more than 500 demon tribes had been killed, and it is said that I and the hundred-faced fox had been pushed to the gallows, and the king walked out of the temple in fear, crying about being coerced by us, and when the sword was about to fall, fortunately, the saint saw through the king's conspiracy and killed him, giving me and the old fox a chance to atone for our sins......"

Towards the end of the story, many boys and girls in the audience wept as they hid their faces.

Ning Changjiu asked, "What does the story you tell have to do with the authority of the Hades Monarch?"

Bailu Shouxing said: "The authority of the Immortal Monarch is related to the Taishang Demon Furnace. Afterwards, I learned that the monarch was a fallen immortal, and the Dan furnace was originally his belongings, and he had obtained a piece of the authority of the Immortal Monarch in the world, and wanted to refine it with the pure fire of the Yang and the resentment of the Yin and the Cold, and merge it into one, so as to obtain the power of the Netherworld Reincarnation and re-ascend the Great Road!"

Ning Chang asked, "Now this Dan furnace and authority are all in your place?"

Bailu Shouxing hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "That's true." ”

Ning Chang said, "You also plan to refine the power of the Hades Lord's authority?"

The old eyes of the white deer birthday star showed a resolute color: "Although the day of the collapse of the Ten Thousand Demon City has not yet come, it is also something that will come, I am a bhikshu peak and a large and small demon clan, civilized and uncivilized, a total of more than 100,000, there were saints to protect us in the past, in the future troubled times, there is no one above our heads, I, as the lord of a peak, should always protect them." ”

Ning Chang looked at the old man with a hairpin and a fairy wind, and shook his head slightly.

He had seen those ghost temples outside the city.

If the white deer is the ghost emperor in their mouths, then the so-called ghost emperor is definitely not a good demon.

Si Ming listened quietly for a long time, and his words became more direct: "I am here to take authority, no matter what your past is, you can't shake our thoughts." ”

Bailu Shouxing said slowly: "In the previous story, the old man just showed his determination, the saint handed over the bhikshu peak to me, of course I have to protect it thoroughly, and I will not give up dying, if you want to kill me, you will kill the demon of the entire bhikshu peak! Even if the future will be a troubled world with no conscience, but those who bear a blood debt of 100,000 will never die well." ”

The boys and girls who were kneeling on the side raised their heads one after another, their pupils were also glowing with blood, and they all stared at Ning Chang and Si Ming like they saw enemies.

Si Ming sneered: "High-sounding. ”

Bailu Shouxing said: "I don't know what Sect Master Si has?"

Si Ming opened his mouth lightly and said: "At the beginning, you were bewitched by the monarch and killed five hundred of your own clan, and the saint left you alive in order to atone for your sins, not to let you kill the lives of another five hundred demon clans and make up for them in the Dan furnace." ”

Ning Changjiu frowned slightly.

Bailu Shouxing's expression changed slightly: "What did you say?"

Si Ming's cold words came out of the fox demon mask, and said, "Don't you still understand what I said? Although that old monarch is a fallen immortal, although he was killed by a saint, you ...... I have never forgotten his words in my heart - refining one thousand one hundred and ten demon hearts can lead to immortality. Then the saint died, and no one could suppress your greed, right?"

Bailu Shouxing rolled up his robe and said coldly: "You are just newcomers to Ten Thousand Demon City, where did you hear the rumors?"

"I'm just guessing. Si Ming's voice was cold, and his tone was gentle and sarcastic: "If it is rumor, why do you need to draw your sword?"

When they came, it was still cold outside the Wanshou Building, which was already surrounded by demon soldiers, who had antlers on their heads, holding torches in one hand and broadswords in the other, and the tips of the knives were aimed at the lights in the building.

Bailu Shouxing said: "If you are a visitor, I am willing to treat each other with sincerity, if you come to seize power, then I have no choice but to meet each other for the sake of the stability of the bhikshu peak." ”

Si Ming shook his head lightly and said, "You already knew that we were coming, but you just prepared some shrimp soldiers and crabs to send you to death in the future, what's the matter?

"The peak is difficult, and it is the glory of all demons to be able to contribute to this peak, and there is no regret in death. Bailu Shouxing slowly got up, looked at them, and said, "In the Taishang Dan furnace, there is still a lack of medicine!"

Si Ming dusted the edge of the teacup, and the teacup was shattered into powder.

"Disciple, follow me to subdue demons. ”

Si Ming slowly got up, and the water in the pool condensed into ice.
