The Return of the Nine Dead South Desolate Souls Chapter 117: Diving through the shadows of the Long Bridge
The white bone sword rose into the air, like a silverfish submerged in the deep sea, and quickly disappeared into the back of the red moon.
The moonlight fell and sprinkled the city.
But the sword did not fall.
Ning Changjiu picked up the injured Ning Xiaoling and walked back to the house, took out the medicine that had been prepared to treat her, Zhao Xiang'er stood aside, looked at the blood stains washed by the sword qi in her torn Dao skirt, and praised: "It's very good, it's not what I expected." β
Ning Xiaoling wiped the blood from her forehead, looked at Zhao Xiang'er, smiled, and said, "Thanks to Senior Brother." β
Zhao Xiang'er held an umbrella in her arms, stood on one side, looked at Ning Changjiu to bandage her wounds, and asked, "I didn't look for you directly when I came back with your senior brother that day, because I was afraid that Madam Bai would be suspicious, but I still don't understand, how did Ning Changjiu make you understand these things in a few words?"
Ning Xiaoling recalled today's scene, when she was practicing in the house, the realm that had been stagnant for a long time suddenly loosened, and she broke through two small realms in a row and came to the Tongxian Upper Realm, she was overjoyed and wanted to tell her senior brother about it immediately.
Then the senior brother and Zhao Xiang'er came back, but as soon as they came back, they bargained in the courtyard, and then fought, she didn't think about it, but she suddenly noticed that the senior brother's mood seemed to be very frightened and scared, and she was very worried in her heart at that time, thinking that Sister Xiang'er would not kill her in anger, and today her realm has improved so much, she should have the right to speak, and she can protect her senior brother.
Thinking about this, she walked out, but as soon as she passed, the frightened state of her brother was gone.
What she wanted to say was also interrupted by her senior brother, and then the senior brother told herself that she would learn from Sister Xiang'er when she arrived at the upper realm of her Tongxian one day.
At that time, she could feel that her senior brother's mood was very subtle and complicated, and she happened to be in the upper realm of immortals. She vaguely understood that the senior brother should have known about his strange breakthrough, and even that was his arrangement, but for some reason, she couldn't say it directly.
When she was in the house, the senior brother made verbal and psychological hints to herself, and at that time she had basically understood, so she also replied to him in a witty way.
Ning Xiaoling couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine when she thought of thisβit turned out that they had been living under the surveillance of Madame Bai for the past month.
No wonder Sister Xiang'er said that when she came to the Yellow Spring, she happened to see Mrs. Bai also pushing a wheelchair over...... How can there be such a coincidence in this world, presumably Sister Xiang'er was also sure that she was being spied on at that time, and then secretly told her senior brother about it.
And the senior brother also realized that the target that Madame Bai's first sword would really choose was her weakest self, so after killing Yama Luo and Bai Wuchang, she became the container for maintaining the balance of this city, and she rose to two more small realms for no reason, and these two small realms were also the key to her survival under this sword!
These realms should have been given to the senior brother, but the senior brother not only didn't ask for it, but also took two hundred punches from Sister Xiang'er for nothing in order to act......
Thinking of this, Ning Xiaoling's cheeks were slightly hot, and she only felt that she had lived in vain for a month, and it took so long to react.
"Huh?" Zhao Xiang'er said softly, indicating that she was still waiting for an answer.
Ning Xiaoling was slightly excited, came back to her senses, looked at Zhao Xiang'er's beautiful and pretty face that made her quite excited, and thought that she could judge this, mainly because of the connection with her senior brother, such a secret can't be told to Sister Xiang'er, right?
Ning Changjiu had already opened his mouth to relieve her: "Of course, it's because we are smart and clever at a young age." β
Zhao Xiang'er didn't believe it and said, "Do you have something to hide from me?"
Ning Xiaoling shook her head firmly and said, "No, Sister Xiang'er is so smart, how can I hide something from you?"
Zhao Xiang'er snorted lightly: "Don't learn from your senior brother!"
Ning Xiaoling obediently shut up.
Zhao Xiang'er took the bone sword, the bone sword was too hard because it was too hard, but it looked very brittle, after it landed, there were countless cracks on the bones, she looked at it for a moment, and when she thought that this might be a certain part of the white lady's self-harm, she felt disgusted in her heart, she confirmed that there was no residual spirituality on it, and said, "When do you think the second sword will come?"
Ning Changchang already had a plan in his heart, and said, "The second sword will not fall in a short time
, because Madame Bai also knows that she can't kill anyone with a sword at the moment, and her impulse will only make her lose all her hole cards, and when she plays the sword, it must be when we don't expect it, or when we are powerless to defend ourselves. β
Zhao Xiang'er agreed with him and said: "But it's still not allowed to be taken lightly, now this city is getting worse and worse, and after a while, when it really becomes a dead city here, then everything will be meaningless." β
Ning Chang nodded and said, "It really can't be delayed any longer." β
Zhao Xiang'er said: "After this sword failed, Madame Bai was almost at the end of her rope. β
Ning Chang said: "But we still cast a rat bogey." β
The taboo is that if you kill Madame Bai, you will suddenly break the balance of the city.
Zhao Xiang'er stared at him, as if waiting for him to continue speaking.
Ning Changjiu took a deep breath and said, "Act according to the plan." β
Zhao Xiang'er bit her lower lip, and Qiong hummed softly between her noses, a little reluctantly.
......
......
The next day, a bird made of fine white bones flew over the courtyard and came to the eaves of their yard.
The bony finch chirped and left a letter.
The epistle is written in blood, and it is a war letter.
Ning Jiujiu raised his head after receiving the battle book, glanced at the red moon in the sky, nodded at her, and agreed.
......
On the other side of the Yellow Spring, Madame Bai slowly came to the eaves in a wheelchair in a fox fur, she stretched out the back of her slender hand, and the white bone finch that went and returned stopped on the back of her hand, she teased the white bone sparrow, and then violently pinched it to pieces.
Her fingers twisted into her palm, and the bone meal fell in a flurry.
She gently tapped the armrest of the chair with her other hand, loosening the force that was pressing on Shubai's body, and the stone on the chest of the thin young man was removed, and his body suddenly loosened, and he lay on the ground, but did not get up directly, but asked, "This first sword has failed...... If you can't win, you can't cut off your own arms and sharpen your sword. β
Madame Bai played with the bone sword in her hand, her expression was leisurely, and she didn't seem to regret her previous miss: "I still have two swords, what's the hurry?"
"Two?" Shubai frowned.
Madame Bai didn't answer, but just laughed: "What do you think of my life?"
Shubai said what he thought in his heart: "Heinous, there is no afterlife. β
Madame Bai closed her eyes and smiled wildly, "I'm just a monster who is lucky enough to survive in the world, and what I want is the Great Dao to Heaven, what is the essential difference between me and those immortals? If you can't ask for the road in this life, you can't ask for it in eternal life. β
As she spoke, she restrained her smile a little, and she said: "If they hadn't bothered, now that the country of myths has been completed, you are the hall master, and I will try my best to build nine identical Yama halls, and when the time comes, let alone Nanzhou, this will be the Valhalla of the dead souls in the whole world...... They are the real heinous people, the ones who killed the whole city!"
Shubai said softly: "Your myths are wrong, without them, they will collapse sooner or later." β
Madame Bai fell silent, and finally turned into a soft sigh.
That's the crux of it all.
"But how is it possible?" Madame Bai still couldn't figure out, "If it weren't for the catastrophe that affected heaven and earth, who could have killed such a great god?"
Shubai said: "When Master told me a story before, he said that the only people in this world who can kill gods are more powerful gods. β
Madame Bai's expression was calm but full of madness, and she laughed softly: "Yes, everyone will die, if I also die in this city, then you can cook my bones, and you may be able to go farther than me in the future." β
Shubai didn't have any thoughts about the myth of boiling bones for immortality, he couldn't tell what kind of emotions he had for her now, and when she said this, he shook his head firmly: "They are good people, they care about the common people, and they won't come to kill you now." β
"Good people?" said Madame Bai with a sneer
"There is no filial son at the head of the bedside for a long time, sooner or later they will be disgusted with this place, disgusted with all the living people here, and they wish that they would die immediately, and then they can stand at the highest point of morality, justifiably kill me, and destroy everything...... When Zhao Xiang'er is desperate to kill me at the expense of the city, it will be my death. β
Shubai looked at her beautiful face quietly, and didn't answer, and after a while, Madame Bai laughed again: "But where did she Zhao Xiang'er get her courage, she is colder than anyone else on the surface, but she wants to play a killing god and pretend to be a saint, so she is in a dilemma." If she was to throw this city and ignore it, she wouldn't dare, and she couldn't. β
Shubai looked at her fickle expression and understoodβshe was already a little crazy.
......
After today's raw rice distribution was over, Hei Wuchang sat alone on the side of the street, picked up the erhu and played a tune.
He looked in the direction of the bridge, his bow trembling at high speed as it touched the strings, and his tone was filled with unspeakable sadness.
The red moon in the sky listened to him silently, and when the sound of the piano was gone, the white lady on the other side of the red moon closed her eyes.
Shubai on the ground suddenly felt a strange power surging into his body.
He was dragged up by Madame Bai, who grabbed his head with her ten fingers and turned his head abruptly.
The sudden scene caught Shubai off guard, and he was powerless to resist, so he was forced to turn his head and look in the direction of the red moon.
A month ago, when Madame Bai gave him strength, she planted the two waning moons on her shoulders into his eyes, and those two waning moons were similar to the acquired gods, giving him authority and power, but also leaving hidden dangers.
It is the same as the innate spirit, and it may be polluted in the case of the same origin and homogeneity.
And at this moment, he was forced to open his eyes wide and look at the red moon, and the light of the red moon fell into his eyes, like a brilliant color flowing into the empty eyes, and soon added an indelible color to the two waning moons.
Blood trickled down from the corners of his eyes.
"For ...... Why?"
Before he was about to be polluted, his heart was like a knife, and he trembled and asked.
Madame Bai lifted him up by pressing his head, and her gentle and pleasant voice was like a demon's whisper: "Your body is planted with my bones, and you are my own flesh and blood, but you actually have the idea of liking me, how can you do this? You are really a bad boy, and a bad boy should be punished, so ...... Punish you as my third sword, and help me penetrate their chests, so that you are my good boy." β
"No...... Don't" Shubai shook his head with difficulty, trying to turn and flee, but the vertebrae in his body stood straight and clubbed him there, like a tree.
After a while, Shubai calmed down completely, and when he raised his head again, there was not the slightest expression on his face, and the waning moon in his eyes had turned a fishy floating crimson.
Madame Bai stared at him and said, "Kneel!"
Shubai heard the command, and without any hesitation, knelt down.
Madame Bai held him by the shoulder, picked him up from the ground, and held him in her arms, as if holding a real sword, she looked up at the moon with an intoxicated expression: "This is a good boy, tonight, I will tell you a story about the fairy running to the moon." β
As she spoke, she picked up Shubai and threw him up gently, and the red moon flew towards the sky with a strange power.
Madame White was intoxicated with her masterpiece, and suddenly, her expression changed again.
She was keenly aware that on this shore of the Yellow Spring, someone had sneaked over.
Who can evade the Red Moon's surveillance?
She suddenly remembered that on the first day, when the girl entered the city, she had searched the city with a red moon, but she could not find any trace of her.
She wrapped herself in that big black bird!
"Zhao Xiang'er?!" The more Madame Bai thought about it, the more wrong it became, Zhao Xiang'er's realm was even higher than herself at the moment, if she crossed the Yellow Spring and came here, the city should be tilted quickly, but why was there no movement in this city at all?
She didn't want to think about it, she stretched out her hand to Shubai who was slowly rising into the air, and shouted, "Come back!"
