Ning Xiaoling's petite body sat in the huge throne, like a netherworld princess.

Ning Changjiu helped her straighten her dress, the hem of the skirt was neatly spread on her slender thighs, and the dust and blood stains that adhered to the dress were refined with spiritual power, gently brushed off, and turned into fine dust and dissipated into darkness.

The girl's hand holding the knife was clenched, but her eyebrows were quiet, and she didn't move, like a delicate porcelain puppet, at the mercy of others.

In the silent hall, Ning Chang looked at her quietly and smiled.

He never imagined that they would meet in such a place, in this way.

The dark sea that once held all souls had lost its source, and it became the Dead Sea, silent and desolate as a real graveyard, with no worshippers.

Ning Chang looked at her, his gaze moved down, and fell on the blood-red sword.

"Shendi?" Ning Chang recognized it at first sight.

In the Vermilion Bird World of Zhao Kingdom, Zhao Xiang'er had forged an imitation of the god with his hands, and he remembered it vividly.

Ning looked at this ancient knife for a long time, the blade is slender, the blade surface is like water, the blood-colored light is dark and bright, the curve of the blade is very light, and the ends have been broken, if it is intact, it should be as graceful as a girl's hair.

Although this knife has gone through the wars of the gods, and the sharpest part of the blade is obviously damaged and curled, it is still beautiful, and it is conceivable that its former wearer may have been a bard poet.

His hand touched the blade.

Before entering this place, Si Ming told him that what he saw was not the real world of Hades, this temple was just an afterimage of the sea of darkness, the real Hades was hidden in the depths of the spirit, and the only way to trigger it was "death".

Ning Chang pinched the edge of the god with his fingers, and extracted a little blood light from it like a cocoon.

The blood glows close to the neck.

The meaning of death unfolds.

Ning Chang stopped in time.

Rumble!

The line of sight changed abruptly.

He was still in the temple, the ground was covered with blood and the writhing soul of the feathered serpent, and the smell of blood flowed down the floor tiles all the way to the abyss that suddenly appeared behind the temple.

The temple slopes towards the abyss.

An irresistible force pushed him and he slid down the slope.

......

Syllable.

Thunder exploded in the sky, rain poured down, they collided and shattered in the air, splashing into a thick fog in midair.

Ning Chang raised his head and looked at the completely different scenes around him.

He stretched out his hand, and the raindrops hit his fingertips, and the touch was clammy and real.

"Is this purgatory?" Ning Chang looked around.

It was a barren mountain, and almost all the barren mountains around it had been broken, and the black peaks had turned into huge broken rocks, which were piled up like cities that had been burned by fire several times.

There was still fire in the cracks in the rocks.

This is not a real-world fire, but a legendary Nether Fire. The flame of the ghost fire was not extinguished in the heavy rain, it burned very slowly, like a sleeping ghost, obviously so quiet, but people did not dare to approach.

Ning Chang walked forward in the world of fire and water.

"Hello, Sage. An old man with a skull head stepped forward to talk.

Ning Chang looked at him.

The old man did not appear out of thin air, he had been standing on the side of the road like a charred old tree, and he did not recognize him at first sight.

"Hello. Ning Chang's words were a little jerky.

The skull-like old man asked, "Are you here to save us?"

Ning Chang shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just here to find someone." ”

"Looking for someone?" said the old man with the skull, "Then you are here to save us." ”

Ning Chang asked, "Why do you say that?"

The old man with the skull said, "The person you are looking for is not a little girl in a white dress." ”

Ning Chang nodded and said, "Yes." ”

The old man with the skull said, "She is in the palace at the end of this road, as long as you keep moving forward, you can see it." ”

Ning Changchang asked, "It's that simple?"

"Yes, young man. The old man with the skull seemed to be smiling, but his face was like a skull, so the smile was also eerie.

Ning Chang thanked him, and he asked curiously, "How can I save you?"

The old man with the skull head said: "Open this sky, and we can go out and return to the real sea of stars, instead of sinking here forever." ”

Ning Chang asked, "Do you know where you are?"

The old man nodded, "Of course I know, this is a sinful, unreasonable world, and I only figured this out five hundred years ago. At that time, I was devoted to the study of the Sea of Thorns, and I had come up with seventy-six rules about the Sea of Thorns, and I was about to unify them gradually. A remnant who came in from the outside told me......"

The old man with a skull seemed to remember something sad, and he couldn't bear to talk about it.

Ning Changjiu was curious: "What did I tell you?"

The old man pointed to the piles of rocks and said, "She told me that in the outside world, water and fire are incompatible. ”

Ning Chang looked at the stone fire that could not be extinguished by the torrential rain, was silent for a long time, and asked, "You are not from the outside world?"

The old man said: "I am the aboriginal here, and I am a creature created by the soul condensation of the underworld, unlike those foreign souls, who are born with a lot of knowledge. ”

Ning Changjiu immediately thought of Si Ming.

Si Ming is the embodiment of the fetal spirit cultivation that she was born in the old kingdom of God.

The kingdom of God is like a small world with its own ability to nurture life. The Kingdom of the Underworld is said to have been formed after the death of the Immortal King, and even if it is so broken, it still has the power to conceive living beings.

The old man of the skull thought back to the events of that year and said, "I have studied the Sea of Thorns for a hundred years, and I know that it is just an absurd imagination of the confused consciousness of Lord Hades after his death, and its end is chaos rather than hope, and there is no point in studying it...... It's like on this road, there will be a copper pillar headlight every hundred steps, from here to the end, without exception. But this does not represent the truth of the world, and the rest of the world has no lampposts......"

"I took it as truth and believed it for a hundred years. The old man of the skull let out a heavy sigh as he thought back to those high-spirited years.

Ning Chang said: "No matter how broken this place is, it is a world after all, and if you return to the Spirit Sea, there will really be nothing." ”

The old man said: "The meaning of life is to find meaning, and the meaning of death is to return to the truth." ”

Ning Chang said: "You are like a scholar. ”

The old man with a skull said, "Because Lord Hades is a poet. ”

"Is the Immortal still alive?" asked Ning Chang.

The old man with a skull said, "Yes...... No, anyway, you'll be able to see her soon, and along the way, you'll see many stone tablets with poems by Lord Hades. ”

......

The rain kept falling, and there was occasional thunder in the sky, but there was no electric light.

Ning Chang looked around.

In the surrounding rocks, black flowers bloomed one after another.

The old man of the skull stopped, leaned down on his thin body, bit down on a dark flower, and swallowed it.

"What are you doing here?" asked Ning Changjiu.

The old man said: "This is the flower of darkness, it is a life-sustaining thing, and I am lucky today, and I have to look for it for a long time in the past...... You should be one of the lucky ones. ”

"Is it delicious?" Ning Changjiu asked casually.

The old man with a skull said, "I can't taste it." ”

Ning looked around for a long time, as the old man said, a lamppost will appear every hundred steps, this lamppost is very strange, no matter how big a step you take, it will always appear at a hundred steps.

Ning Chang said: "This is purgatory?"

The old man nodded, "Isn't it scary here?"

Ning Chang looked at the desolation washed by the rain, this place was like a smoky cemetery, at most it could only be reminiscent of the infestation of ghosts, it was hard to imagine what great horror was hidden. In the distance, smoke was billowing up, like boiling water, gurgling into the chaotic sky.

Ning Chang asked, "What's so scary?"

The old man sighed, "It's terrible in despair...... You'll find out later. ”

The old man walked forward with Ning Changjiu.

"You've been waiting for me here?" asked Ning Changjiu.

"Yes, Sage. The old man said: "The great existence in the underworld has made me wait for you, take you to the underworld, and prevent you from getting lost here." ”

Lost?

Ning Changchang was a little confused.

The old man seems to play the role of a guide, but the road is straight, and no matter how you look at it, it seems that no matter how blind you are, you will not get lost.

All the way forward, Ning Changjiu saw a lot of souls again.

They roam the world, most of them legless, but a smoke-like mass with a pointed bottom. They floated at low altitude.

"This is purgatory. The old man pointed into the distance and said, "These people call themselves the Destruction Sect. They built a city out of stone, and the whole city was the bore of cannons, and the city would shoot those round spheres out into the air. Each of these orbs has been polished for decades, so every time one is rolled, it is decades of painstaking work. ”

Ning Changchang asked: "What is their purpose?

The old man with a skull said, "War is a thing of the past hundreds of years ago. At that time, many of the remnants who entered here died in the war. ”

Ning Chang asked, "Then what are they doing?"

"Yes. The old man said, "They want to blow a hole in the sky...... But it's not possible. ”

Ning Chang nodded in agreement.

This is the sea of spirits, and the mind is endless.

They move on.

Ning Changjiu saw a huge machine with a copper pillar again, which was somewhat similar to Zhang Heng's armillary sphere at the beginning.

The old man with a skull said, "This is to invite the Immortal Sect." Their suzerain is a witch, and unlike the ambitious Broken Sect, they want to use artificial stars to call for the arrival of the outer gods. ”

Ning thought about it for a long time, knowing that the Hades Mansion was pressed by the entire Ancient Spirit Sect, and the information conveyed by the practices and rituals inside could not even reach the Hades Temple outside, let alone outside.

The armillary sphere was spinning in the rain, it was not turning naturally, but several wild ghosts were dragging it, and the wild ghosts were wrapped in chains and postured like a donkey. The chains had dug deep into their bones, and every now and then a wild ghost could not hold it up, and fell into the air, turning into a puddle of white bones. Soon a new ghost was pushed up in chains and took its place.

Their efforts were in vain.

Ning Changjiu shook his head lightly and walked forward in silence.

The old man with a skull pointed to the neat array in front of him and said, "This is the Monarch Killer Sect, as the name suggests, they are going to kill the Immortal Monarch." ”

"Kill the Immortal Monarch?" Ning Chang asked, "Isn't the Immortal Monarch the master here?"

The old man with a skull said, "They believe that the Immortal Monarch has guarded the patio leading to the outside world, so they are going to kill the Immortal Monarch and replace him. They have been training their troops all these years, and when they have gathered 300,000 people, they will send troops to advance towards the Hades Temple. ”

Ning Chang said: "Just train under the nose of the Immortal Monarch?"

The old man with a skull nodded, "The king doesn't care about that. ”

Ning Chang said: "This is also the world, what is the difference in surviving here? Why do you have to go out?"

The old man with a skull said: "Because the end is near, if you don't go out, everyone will have to die." Outside the temple there is a stone tablet that records the year of the end of the world...... So the war has long since stopped, and everyone is looking for a way to escape. ”

Ning Changchang nodded thoughtfully.

He didn't have the heart to listen to this, because the closer he got to the temple, the more confused his mind became.

They walked through many stone tablets, and it is said that those stone tablets recorded long poems by the Emperor of the Underworld.

Ning Chang said: "Do you know the words on the stone tablet?"

The old man said: "Young people can't read now, but we still know each other. ”

Ning Chang said: "What kind of story do these stone tablets probably tell?"

The old man replied, "It's about the great Immortal King coming to the world, and what he has seen and heard over the centuries...... The final perdition. ”

Ning Chang asked, "How did the Immortal Monarch perish in the end?"

The old man replied, "The sky is obscured, the monarch has severed his connection with the rest of the gods, they have lost their power and are at odds with each other. Then, a being who had been made the 'Lord of Darkness' by the Lord of Hades descended...... Well, here we are. ”

The old man of the skeleton did not say any more, he stopped, and bowed his thin body to the magnificent palace in front of him.

"Lord Sovereign, I have come for you, Sage. "The old man of the skull is pious.

A gust of wind blew from the temple, and the old man with a skull was gone.

Before the old man disappeared, he suddenly showed a strange smile, and he said softly: "Sage, when you look back, do you think that the world here is essentially the same as the one outside you?"

Ning looked back for a long time.

The sky was darkened with smoke and smoke.

The end is near, and under the dark dome, people struggle in vain with hope.

This is not related to the outside world...... Is it the same?

Ning Chang was a little shaken by the beauty outside.

He looked at the stele in front of the temple, on which the number was three hundred.

Three hundred days.

The wind came in a roundabout way, like a hand, pushing Ning Chang to walk forward.

Ning Chang crossed the stone steps and walked into the hall.

The Hades of the outside world cannot be compared with this at all, if this Hades Temple is an iceberg, then the previous one is only the remains of the tip of the iceberg.

Ning Chang walked into the main hall.

Ignoring the beautiful paintings around him, he walked towards the depths of the main hall.

In the depths, what he saw was once again beyond his expectations.

He originally thought that this was the story of a senior brother saving his junior sister, but when he got to the depths, he saw the beautiful girl in the white dress sitting on the throne, looking at him with a smile, and beside her, the waiter with a snake bone spine bowed his head humbly.

On the pillar behind the throne, the bones of the Feathered Serpent are entwined.

Behind the huge body of the Feathered Serpent, a bunch of blades with slender wing bones like gods.

"Senior brother. Ning Xiaoling looked at him, smiled, and tears welled up in her curved eyes.

......

"Senior brother, I knew you would come. Ning Xiaoling said: "I'm afraid that you will get lost, so I made the only road so straight, and I listed them as forbidden places for hundreds of miles away from this road." Such...... You'll be able to find me. ”

"The god here has been killed by me, and now I am the new god here, so senior brother...... Don't be afraid. Ning Xiaoling said with a smile.

Ning Chang looked at her quietly, and there was no trace of emotion on his face: "Don't pretend." ”

Ning Xiaoling was slightly stunned and said, "Senior brother...... What's wrong with you?"

Ning Chang asked, "Are you the Immortal Monarch or the White Fox?"

Ning Xiaoling stared at him for a while and asked, "How do you know?"

Ning Changchang only then knew Si Ming's good intentions. If he hadn't carefully sensed Ning Xiaoling's aura in advance, then he would probably have been deceived this time.

"Senior brother won't fail to recognize junior sister. Ning Changchang said.

The girl on the throne stood up, she changed her appearance all of a sudden, and said, "Oh, her mouth is so sweet, no wonder this stupid girl was coaxed so badly by you, and her last obsession is never extinguished." ”

The last obsession?

The fist between the sleeves of Ning Chang's coat clenched instantly.

The girl smiled: "Don't worry, she is not dead yet." As long as you promise me and do things for me, she can live well. ”

Ning Chang asked, "What do you want me to do?"

The girl said: "Kill a traitor for me, kill her, and I will return your junior sister to you." ”

"What traitor?" Ning Changjiu continued.

"Wasteland Dragon...... Well, she should be called Suzaku now. The girl replied.

Ning Chang pondered for a moment and said, "At the beginning, the Barren River Dragon Sparrow and Tianzang were enemies, if you had a relationship with the Hades Monarch, then you and the Dragon Sparrow should also be an undying enemy back then?"

"I know a lot...... "But you don't have to pretend about my origins." You just have to tell me, can you kill?"

"No, you can't. Ning Chang shook his head.

This has little to do with Xiang'er, no matter what he thinks, it doesn't prevent him from being the opponent of the Vermilion Bird God.

The girl was as expected, and said, "Then the difficulty is lowered, you can take me out of here, okay?"

Ning Chang asked, "What should I do?"

The girl smiled and said, "It's very simple, darkness is a sea, if you want to cross the sea, just be a raft." Your sister is the best raft, take me for a ride when you take her away, and when you get out, I will return your sister to you. ”

Ning Chang said: "You also want to be a parasite?"

The girl was exasperated, "Don't compare a god with such a vile life. ”

"But you do the same thing. ”

"Okay, okay, don't talk about that. The girl said, "Anyway, are you willing?"

Ning Chang said: "I want to see my junior sister first." ”

The girl sighed, and said reluctantly: "At that time, your junior sister was fighting with a group of big snakes, dying, if it weren't for her authority on her, otherwise she would definitely not be accepted by the underworld, and she would have turned into a lonely ghost and a wild ghost, and was caught by the witch of the Immortal Sect to pull the armillary sphere." So, I'm her savior. ”

Ning Changjiu frowned and said, "You...... Is it the Immortal?"

The girl turned around and asked angrily, "Why are you looking at me like that?

Ning was silent for a long time: "Isn't the Immortal Monarch the husband of Tianzang?"

The girl said quietly: "The gods can only guarantee that they will not die, but they can't guarantee their gender. ”

"Are you really a poet?" asked Ning Changjiu again.

The girl turned her head angrily: "Do you like to expose people so much?"

Ning Chang said: "This is not a shortcoming. ”

The girl stood with her hands in her hands, although her figure was petite, her standing posture was very majestic, and she said coldly: "It's not worth mentioning, it's just to coax that stupid woman in Tianzang." ”

As she spoke, the girl took Ning Chang and walked towards the back of the hall.

On the way, she couldn't help but ask coldly, "What about ...... Have you read the poems?"

Ning Chang said: "The stone tablets on the road are all there, of course I have seen them." ”

The girl asked casually, "How is the writing?"

......" Ning Changjiu thought to himself, Lord Hades, do you want me to praise you?

"Well written...... Very poetic. "Ning Chang is duplicitous.

The girl sneered: "What are you pretending? You can't read at all!"

"......" Ning was speechless for a long time.

"But it doesn't matter, one day you will learn the Netherworld, and then you will perceive the beauty of it. The girl said.

Ning Changjiu couldn't help but ask, "Are you really the Immortal Monarch?"

"Are you despising my majesty?" asked the girl.

Ning Chang didn't know what to say, he only felt that all the depression he felt along the way seemed to have been emptied by the image of the Immortal Monarch.

The people of the underworld have such a monarch, no wonder they will experience such a miserable life.

The girl said: "To be precise, I am not the Hades in your mouth, you can call me...... Hades II. ”

"Hello Miss II. "Ning Chang is quite polite.

He knew that no matter how harmless this little girl was, what she held in her hands was the power to destroy the city and the country at every turn.

In the depths of the temple, the girl stopped.

She pushed open the temple door, and behind it was ...... A mountain of stones?

"It's a cage. The girl was afraid that Ning would not know her for a long time, so she took the initiative to introduce: "Your junior sister is locked in a certain cage, you need to find her out by yourself." ”

Ning Chang pretended to be embarrassed, and he said that it was difficult as he walked towards the cage.

"Wait. The maiden stopped him.

"What's wrong?" asked Ning Changjiu.

The girl said, "You have to pay one thing to get a chance to open the stone prison." ”

Ning Changjiu is no stranger to this, on the streets and alleys of Zhao Guo, he has seen a stall with a few rows of items of different values, and then spend money to buy copper rings to set.

Ning Changjiu asked, "What do you need me to pay?"

The girl said without hesitation: "Immortal scroll." ”

This answer was expected by Ning Chang.

This is all that Hades has.

Ning paid for the immortal scroll for a long time.

"Your sister is hard to find, huh...... Do you need to buy ten copies in one sitting?" asked the girl.

"No need. Ning Chang refused.

The girl smiled and took the fairy scroll...... Get the most important thing in your hands first, and then slowly exploit him, peeling him until he is only a pair of bones. Hmph, I don't believe he can pick it once......

Ning walked down the stone steps calmly for a long time.

He stood behind the temple of Hades, and looked past one stone door after another.

They are like shrines of souls, silently waiting to be opened.

His mind found a familiar feeling.

The wind in the temple of Hades blew back and forth, raising his white robe.

He came to a stone door and gently stretched out his hand.

The girl who calls herself Hades II has a sharp eye.

"Wait!" the girl tried to stop him.

Ning Changjiu had already pushed the door in.

The door lit up with a moonlit white light.

A sleeping, ignorant soul was embraced into his arms, and the curled soul had been throbbing and restless, but now when it came to his arms, it was quiet, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.

It was Ning Xiaoling.

"How...... Maybe?" the girl wondered.

She regretted it a little after she finished speaking.

He is the second monarch of the underworld, and he should be an all-knowing and all-powerful god. This kind of questioning looks like he is very weak.

Ning Chang hugged Ning Xiaoling's soul and said, "Thank you, Miss II, for reuniting our brother and sister." ”

The girl pursed her lips, and she struggled and said, "No, start again, you must have used disgraceful means!"

Ning Chang looked at her quietly.

Shura's Dharma Body outlined a light behind him that swallowed up the darkness.

The girl stared at the Shura Dharma body and was afraid.

In the world of Vena, Ning Changjiu proved that Shura, whose spiritual power is condensed, is almost invincible and powerful in the spiritual world.

What's more, he could also see that this self-proclaimed Hades Monarch II was not in a good state.

It is also one of the harbingers of the coming of the end times.

Ning Chang walked forward with the Shura Dharma Body.

The girl stretched out her hand and said, "Wait!"

"What else is the matter with Miss II?" Ning asked for a long time.

The girl said, "There is a cat with your sister! ”

Ning Chang thought of the cat's paw prints on the note, and nodded thoughtfully.

The girl grabbed the cat and pulled the cat out of another stone door.

"If you want to redeem this cat, trade that golden giant behind you. The girl said.

Ning Chang looked at the cat.

The cat looked at Ning for a long time.

Originally...... It's you?!

Actually...... It's you?!

Speechless.

"Fish ......" Ning hesitated for a long time to call its name.

A glimmer of hope ignited in the heart of the fish king: "What do I want from fish?"

Ning Chang looked at Hades II and shook his head, "I don't want to." ”

......
