Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, and the disciples of the Ancient Spirit Sect have dispersed one after another. Originally, the great Divine Sect, the older generation of cultivators had died in the previous tragedy in the Hades Temple, and now the entire sect was even more lifeless.

Yu Jin's home was not far away, so she stayed for a few more days.

The girl was armed with the sword of the inner disciple, and the two servants stood behind her, carrying the burden of the bulging bag for her. The carriage is ready at the gate and ready to leave.

Yu Jin stood on the suspension bridge leading to the Nine Shadows Hall and looked out for a while.

Ning Xiaoling's figure never appeared.

When she turned around, she found a little fox staring at her in the woods.

She knew this beautiful spirit fox, and when she was in class in the wooden hall, she could often see this spirit fox jumping happily outside.

Yu Jin originally thought that it was because the sect had been deserted recently, so the wild spirit fox began to haunt. Later, she heard that this fox was raised by the new sect master, and every time the spirit fox played outside, it would always be caught back by the ink-robed sect master with a fox wood mask covering his face.

Everyone didn't know much about the new sect master, but they just guessed if it would be a fox demon.

How can a monster be the suzerain of a human cultivator......

It's just that now that the Ancient Spirit Sect has lost its former glory, even if such a ridiculous thing really appears, no one dares to really resist, at most they only complain in private, or hope that the Sword Pavilion, the Divine Tower and other great sects of the Heavenly Dao will help clean up the demons.

Recently, what happened in Luo Shulou could no longer be hidden, and it spread rapidly, completely shocking the entire Middle-earth. It is said that the owners of the other three god towers have all gone out of the customs and rushed to the Luo Shu Building one after another to find out. In contrast, the death of a sect master in the Turbulent Sect and the loss of a dragon mother in the Sea Kingdom have become inconsequential.

And this mysterious new sect master, it is said that he came from the direction of Luo Shulou, and he also appeared in the Dian Huan Sect......

The hearts of the people were astonished, and they did not dare to oppose anything. It's just that many days have passed, and everything in the sect is still in order, and there have been no disasters and turmoil. This new sect master, who has raised a little fox, seems to be very kind.

Ning Xiaoling didn't know Yu Jin's thoughts, if she knew, she would definitely scoff at the word "kindness".

In her heart, the current benefactor's sister is simply bad!

"Little fox, I'm leaving. Yu Jin squatted down and stretched out his hand.

Ning Xiaoling walked over and rubbed her palm.

She originally wanted to talk to Yu Jin, but now that she looks like this, she is really ashamed to say it...... Let's wait until she becomes a human and surprise her.

Yu Jin got up and looked at the little fox gently, always with a sense of familiarity.

She waved at the little fox.

Ning Xiaoling also stretched out her small paw and waved goodbye to Yu Jin.

After Yu Jin left, Ning Xiaoling cautiously hid behind the big tree, looking in all directions with vigilant eyes, as if the prey was searching for the hunter's traces.

"Sister Benefactor shouldn't have chased after her......" Ning Xiaoling was very afraid of Si Ming, and whispered to herself: "It's better to go to Senior Brother for refuge first." ”

......

At the edge of the Spirit Waterfall, Lu Married was still contemplating the balance and fit of spiritual art and swordsmanship.

She is highly talented, proficient in swordsmanship, and after an afternoon of deduction and attempts, she finally found the idea, and then followed this thread, and deduced the sword moves behind her one by one.

"The Sword of Calamity?" Lu married and pointed in front of him, staring at a void sword that seemed to be nothing, and muttered to himself.

The sword light of the void sword was flourishing, full and bright, like the rainbow light passing in front of itself, about three feet long.

Lu married and came out with a sword.

The void sword was like a spirit, flying and jumping in the air, fitting the moves of the Sword of Calamity, dancing out of a series of sharp and chaotic shadows.

She stared at the sword, making sure that there were no more loopholes in the sword moves, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu married and chewed on the wonderful principles in the sword moves, and couldn't help but sigh at the genius of Mu Lingtong.

"Good swordsmanship. ”

Behind him, the clear voice sounded again, like a snowy stream crossing a bridge, cold and quiet. Such a touching voice sounded in Lu Marry's ears, but it was more like a female devil whispering, wanting to make her frightened.

Si Ming appeared like a ghost.

The preoccupied Lu Wedding didn't realize her arrival at all.

"Didn't you say that you wouldn't bother me until I cultivated my swordsmanship?" Lu asked Marry.

Si Ming said: "Isn't my sister cultivated?"

Lu married and said: "I still need to polish my ......"

"Polishing?" Si Ming leaned closer and said, "Marrying is worthy of a sword body, and it really needs to be beaten and sharpened to become a material." ”

Lu Married looked at her, helpless, she asked angrily: "Sister Xueci, are you ...... Was he really a priest in the past?"

This is too far from the priest I once thought.

Si Ming immediately sat upright, his expression was indifferent, the roar around him gradually decreased, the flow speed of the Spirit Waterfall gradually slowed down, and the Water Waterfall was covered with a thin layer of cold mist in the blink of an eye.

"Isn't it like that?" Si Ming sat cross-legged in silence, his words not mixed with a trace of emotion.

Lu Zhenmari looked at her such a cold and dignified appearance, and really felt the coercion of the gods on people's hearts when they sat alone.

Of course, she wanted to say that it was not like it, but now that the orphan girl and widow are in the same place, she still decided to endure the humiliation and bear the burden, and rely on this sister for the time being.

"Or ...... It's a lot like that. "Lu married against his heart.

"Then, me or Zhao Xiang'er, who is more beautiful?" Si Ming suddenly asked.

Lu was stunned, she was not really stupid, she hesitated for a moment, thinking that it was difficult to save the fire from far water, and distant relatives were not as good as close neighbors......

"My sister is prettier. Lu's voice became softer and softer.

Si Ming flicked her sleeves slightly, and did not inquire whether Lu Marry's words were sincere, she turned slightly to look at the Lingpu. The spirit waterfall was slowly stilled by her time authority, and now her realm has steadily risen, although there is a huge gap from the peak, but the use of authority is obviously much more handy.

Lu Wedding looked at the starlight and moonlight reflected in the waterfall, and exclaimed: "Congratulations to Sister Xue Porcelain on reaching a higher level." ”

"Congratulations?" Si Ming glanced at her, "My realm has risen, is my sister really happy?"

"I'm so happy. Lu Marry sighed.

Si Ming smiled, "Really?"

Lu Zhenyu pursed her lips and wanted to answer perfunctorily, but she found that she couldn't move.

The waterfall continues to fall from a high place, and in the white mist, the sound is noisy in the ears, and the small water vapor slapped on the face, slightly chilling.

Movement and stillness alternate at this moment.

The water of the waterfall flowed again, but Lu Married was quiet, she seemed to be trapped in the backwater of time, not even her clothes were dancing in the night wind.

"You ......," Lu said with difficulty.

Si Ming looked at her with a smile.

In a gesture, she has shrouded her authority over Lu Marrying.

The time of Lu's marriage has stood still.

"Has Ning Changjiu ever used you like this?" Si Ming said quietly.

Lu shook his head with difficulty.

Si Ming stretched out his hand, his fingers lightly hit her forehead, slid down her forehead, and landed on Xiu Ting's Qiong's nose, she said: "Sister still spoils you too much on weekdays?

"I ...... No. "It's hard to marry and bite the word.

Si Ming said: "Still unrepentant?"

Lu married and wanted to cry without tears, even if it was Ning Changchang, he had never bullied her like this.

"I was wrong. Lu married in a humiliated response.

Si Ming sneered: "It's not good to remember the fight." ”

Lu married and pursed her lips silently, only hoping that Si Ming's authority would be exhausted as soon as possible, and then she would find a reason to take the opportunity to escape.

Anyway, the swordsmanship has also been understood, and the abundant spiritual power of this spiritual waterfall is not so beneficial to her.

Si Ming said: "Are you thinking about going back to Ning Chang to hide now?"

"I ......" was punctured, and Lu was embarrassed, but it was inconvenient to admit it.

Si Ming smiled: "What's the difference? Being bullied here is bullied here and being bullied by him, the difference is nothing more than being beaten and being beaten...... Oh, the roots of my ears are red. ”

Lu closed her eyes and realized that her ears had fallen into the claws of the female devil.

"Sister......" Lu decided to give in temporarily, and said with a false promise: "The marriage is wrong, Sister Xueci spare me." ”

"Is it really wrong?" Si Ming asked as he looked at her aggrieved appearance.

"Hmm. Lu married.

Si Ming reprimanded: "You are the master mother, how can you say such a thing to a slave of mine?"

"......" Lu Marrying felt that everything he did was wrong.

Where is this goddess, she is clearly an unreasonable female robber!

......

"Wow. ”

Ning Xiaoling jumped on the window, stretched out his paw and knocked on it.

Ning Chang put down his pen, looked there, and said softly, "Come in." ”

Ning Xiaoling jumped in happily.

She looked at this warm room, at the stacks of rolls on the table and the burning lamp, and her heart was moved.

"It's better here, senior brother. Ning Xiaoling swooped over, jumped on the bed, rolled left and right on the bed, scratched the quilt with her paws, and let out a cheerful laugh.

Ning Changchang smiled: "What's bad?"

Ning Xiaoling said: "There are no robbers...... Ah no, it's nice to have no benefactor's sister!"

"Robber?" Ning Changjiu was a little surprised: "This is the nickname you gave Si Ming?"

Ning Xiaoling immediately shook her head: "No, don't tell your benefactor!"

Ning Changchang put his hands on his sleeves, looked at the little fox lying on the bed with a smile, and said, "Have you gotten along well with Si Ming in the past two days? Si Ming didn't bully Xiao Ling, right?"

"I didn't ...... Nope. Ning Xiaoling said hesitantly: "Sister Benefactor and Master also get along very well. ”

Ning Changchang smiled, probably guessing how arrogant Si Ming had been in the past two days.

"When Senior Brother is done with the matter of the underworld, help Xiaoling fight the robbers, okay?" Ning Chang said with a smile.

Ning Xiaoling listened to these child-like words, a little helpless, she didn't dare to agree casually, but said weakly: "It's hard work, senior brother." ”

Ning Chang looked at these scrolls and had a headache. He sighed and said slowly: "Xiao Ling, this Nine Shadows Hall may become your mansion in a while, and then this will be the new Hades Palace, and you need to sit here and control the Netherworld power scattered in the world." ”

"Alone?" Ning Xiaoling asked worriedly.

Ning Chang said: "If Xiaoling feels lonely, I can ask your sister to accompany you." ”

"Not alone! Not lonely at all!" Ning Xiaoling said categorically, with a sense of mission in her blazing fox eyes.

Ning Changjiu smiled while combing the volume: "It's good not to be alone...... By the way, when we finish Chinese New Year's Eve together, Senior Brother will go to Central Middle-earth, and it may take two or three months to return. ”

"Two months!" Ning Xiaoling was startled.

Ning Changjiu asked, "What's wrong?"

Ning Xiaoling's eyes widened and asked, "Senior brother...... Can I go with you? I can make a moving temple. ”

Ning Chang said: "The place I'm going to is Tianbang, and there can only be one person sitting in Tianbang." ”

Ning Xiaoling thought to herself, Senior Brother, I still have a place to take refuge while you are here, if you leave for two months, the robber sister will not take me and the master......

Ning Changjiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, before I leave, I will tell your benefactor's sister well, so that she will not bully you." ”

Ning Xiaoling looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Senior brother, are you...... What is the relationship with the benefactor's sister?"

Ning Chang said: "What does it matter? Don't think nonsense. ”

Ning Xiaoling said: "I don't believe it! She is so powerful, and the senior brother doesn't care about her, she must be a relation!"

Ning Chang said: "Aren't I more worried about Xiaoling's safety?"

Ning Xiaoling looked at the stack of books, looked distressed, and didn't say anything anymore, just silently hid and didn't take care of himself, combed his nine tails, and said, "Senior brother, the benefactor's sister is so beautiful...... Are you really not tempted?"

Ning Changchang asked calmly: "In Xiao Ling's heart, is Senior Brother the kind of person who casually sees color?"

Ning Xiaoling looked at him silently.

Although she was very reluctant to admit it, Sister Xiang'er married Master and ...... Sister benefactor, which one is not a great beauty with a beautiful national beauty? Although the senior brother always regards himself as a righteous man and a gentleman, this argument seems to be becoming less and less convincing.

"Of course not!" Ning Xiaoling said categorically.

"Wouldn't that be nice. Ning Changchang said leisurely: "With Xiang'er, marry and sister, and the senior brother is already content." No matter how beautiful the girl is, what does it have to do with me, I am just a friend with her now. ”

"It's really fake...... Ning Xiaoling didn't believe it, after all, she had heard her senior brother say something like 'those who are not afraid of death will covet beauty to marry Zhao Xiang'er', 'Lu marrying has always been my respected teacher'.

It's not been a day or two since the senior brother went back on his word.

It's just that Sister Ruo Si Ming really became the third wife of the senior brother...... After that, I met Sister Xiang'er, and I was afraid that I would be restless day and night.

Ning Chang looked at the little fox and said, "Now I don't even believe in Senior Brother's words?"

"I believe it!" Ning Xiaoling said seriously.

She curled up in the quilt silently, watching her senior brother read a book seriously, and was reluctant to go out.

"Chinese New Year's Eve is just a few days away. Ning Changjiu said suddenly.

"yes. Ning Xiaoling recalled: "Three years ago, we spent Chinese New Year's Eve night in Linhe City, and we originally said that we were going to see the Lantern Festival...... It's a pity that something like that happened. ”

Ning Chang said: "No one will bother us anymore this year. ”

"Hmm!" Ning Xiaoling said: "We can go to Yishang Street to play together, it is very prosperous there, and Xiaoling will show the way to Senior Brother when the time comes!"

......

That night, Si Ming unraveled the formation that shrouded the Gu Ling Sect as the sect master.

The snowflakes in the world fell in and fell into the empty sect.

On the building of the green tiles of the black eaves, Si Ming tapped the corners of the eaves with his toes, and his figure was ancient, if Ling Bo was in the night, she looked at the moon that was still distinct in the snowy sky, and fell into deep thought.

Lu married holding the sword, staring at the woman looking at the moon in the pavilion, and her footsteps stopped slightly. She originally wanted to take advantage of Si Ming's absence to secretly go to find Ning for a long time, but she never thought that Si Ming would shamelessly block the road that must be passed.

Si Ming withdrew his gaze from the moon.

She looked at the snowflakes, which were colder than snow and quieter than plum, and smiled: "Marrying sister, where are you going?"

Today, Lu is considered to be oppressed by Si Ming to be obedient.

Lu Zhan looked at the Nine Shadows Hall close at hand, pursed his lips, and said weakly after a while: "I...... I'm here to find my sister. ”

"I see. Si Ming smiled.

They all know it.

Si Ming jumped down from the corner of the eaves and came to Lu Marry.

"What is Sister Xun doing?" asked Si Ming.

Lu Zhenmari lowered his head, gritted his teeth between his eyebrows and meekness, and said: "There are some sword moves in the daytime that I can't understand it, so I ask my sister for advice." ”

Si Mingbing's eyes narrowed slightly, reached out and poked her eyebrows, and said, "Okay, my sister will teach you well tonight." ”

"There is Sister Lao Xueci. Lu married and made a salute.

She raised her head and looked at the tall building at the end of the snowy road, wanting to cry without tears.

Just as Si Ming was about to lead her to turn around and leave, the door of the Nine Shadows Hall suddenly opened.

The glimmer fell into the night.

In the faint and warm candlelight, the flying snow is more real.

Ning Changchang slowly walked out of it in loose white clothes, and said, "Miss Si Ming, where are you going to lead the marriage?"

Si Ming said: "Teach my sister swordsmanship, what's wrong?"

Ning Changchang said: "I also have some things to marry. ”

Si Ming looked at Lu Marrying and said, "Who do you want to go with?"

Lu married and pretended to hesitate, and after giving some face, he immediately walked in the direction of the Nine Shadows Palace.

Si Ming looked at Lu Marrying's back, a little angry, and said to himself: "The female is not left." ”

Ning Chang looked at Si Ming and asked with a smile: "It's cold outside, do you want Miss Si Ming to come together to keep warm?"

Si Ming didn't want to be retaliated against by them.

She said quietly: "No need, I still have important things." ”

As she spoke, the woman's figure flickered in the night, as if it had also turned into a piece of light snow, scattered in the darkness with the wind.

Lu Yumari glanced back, and then walked into the door.

......

In the twilight light, Lu Yuyu untied the red velvet coat draped on his body, shook off the snow on the coat, and gently hung it on the hanger.

Lu was in a much more relaxed mood, she looked at Ning Changjiu's slightly thin face because of tiredness, smiled and gave a salute, and said, "Husband opened the door a little late, is it on purpose?"

Ning Chang was slightly stunned, watching Lu marry and change his usual coldness, he could imagine how moved he was to marry when he opened the door, alas, this order is indeed too much...... It seems that a lesson needs to be learned.

Just now......

Ning Changjiu dusted off the snow on her shoulders and hair for her, and reminded her euphemistically: "Now...... You don't have to call me husband. ”

"Huh?" Lu was puzzled, thinking that he was only commensurate with his master and apprentice in front of outsiders, so what did he call his husband in private......?

Lu was even more ashamed. She was already happy to successfully escape from Si Ming's clutches, and at this moment she looked at Ning Changchang's appearance in the warm candlelight, recalling her anxiety and worries in the days when he entered the underworld...... The pool of spring water in her heart couldn't help but move slightly with the wind.

Originally...... That's what you want...... She thought she understood.

Lu Marry smiled slightly, she winked at Ning Changjiu, her cherry lips opened lightly, and she said softly: "Marry...... I have seen the master, but I don't know that the master summoned the apprentices here in the middle of the night to ...... What are you doing?"

This fairy sword immortal...... Ning Chang watched Lu marry and rarely showed this mood, and he was also uneasy. Just now......

"I didn't ...... Nothing. Ning Chang was a little cramped and took the initiative to give in.

Lu married but refused to comply, she said: "Does the master think that marrying is not good for learning swords during the day, and wants to reprimand and punish him......?

She bit her lip, lowered her head, and didn't say anything more, but slowly turned around and walked to the window.

Her hand rested on the wooden eaves under the window, her eyes stared at the snowy night outside the window, and she bent down slightly.

The figure sketched in the warm candlelight is enough to turn the scroll of any earthly painter upside down.

If it is on weekdays, it is difficult to sustain oneself for a long time.

Can be ...... today

"Marrying ......" Ning Chang didn't know how to speak.

"Huh?" Lu married and pulled her hair and looked back slightly.

Suddenly, she froze.

I saw a pair of fluffy fox ears poking out from under the quilt on the bed.

At this moment, the whole room was as quiet as a temple.

Seeing that there was no movement outside, Ning Xiaoling, who was hiding under the quilt, immediately realized that it was her fox ears leaking out, she grabbed the edge of the quilt with a pair of paws, poked her head out tremblingly, and looked at the figure of the master standing by the window with dark eyes.

At this moment, Lu is still a little soft.

The cold wind from the window kept blowing, the snowflakes kept hitting the window, babbling, Lu Marry's expression was cold, her silk hair danced wildly against her cheeks, and the killing intent spread between her flying clothes.

"Division...... Master...... Xiaoling is deaf and blind, Xiaoling doesn't see anything!" Ning Xiaoling covered herself with the quilt, feeling the master's killing intent, and trembled.

"Ning!long!long!" Lu Yuyao turned his head abruptly and looked at the young man standing on the side with an innocent face.

"Marry, you listen to my explanation! Xiaoling, she is just ......"

"Alas, I just wanted to tell you, who knew to marry you so ......"

"No, no, it's all my fault. ”

"Marry calmly, don't do ......"

"Don't fight when you get married, spare your life......"

"I managed to sort out these books, it's about Xiaoling's safety, this is really untouchable. ”

"You're going to murder your husband!"

"You can beat me, don't bully Xiaoling, this matter has nothing to do with Xiaoling...... Ahh

Ning Xiaoling listened to the screams of the senior brother, hid in the quilt, and said weakly: "Well, it's all the fault of the senior brother, master, you go and beat the senior brother, don't beat me." ”

"???" Ning was chased and killed by Lu Married all over the house, listening to the words of his senior sister, he was even more sad.

In the Nine Secluded Palace, the sword qi is bright and extinguished, the candlelight is flickering, and the hall that is several floors high is restless all night, from the first floor to the top floor, and from the top floor to the first floor, and occasionally there are foxes jumping around to dodge.

"Commanded ......"

In the Nine Secluded Palace, Ning Changjiu's voice suddenly came: "Where are you, Lord Priest, come and take care of your sister." ”

Si Ming sat outside the hall, through the heavy snow, listening to the screams faintly coming from the hall, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook.

She untied the brand-new flask from her waist, pressed it to her lips, and took a sip.

In the past, she rarely drank alcohol.

She is a god, and the strength of wine is like water to her.

But tonight, she took a drink on a whim, looking at the warm candlelight in the Nine Shadows Palace, but she was a little drunk.
