The Return of the Nine Dead Southern Desolate Souls Chapter 168: Riding on the back of the black snake

There seems to be a dragonfly dotting water on the scroll, the ripples are endless, and the scroll is bright for a moment, and then gradually darkens.

The rice paper is white like a cloud, and the feathers of the bluebird have faded and are hidden in the clouds.

Ning Changjiu's figure disappeared in front of the scroll.

The space is like the erratic feathers of a blue bird.

Ning Chang's figure fell to the ground like a feather.

On the streets of Liantian Town, the weather is fine, and the rabbit spirit with a carrot is still patrolling, but it is just gray-faced, as if there has been a fierce battle in the town.

There were sword marks on the walls beside him, the blood on the ground had not been completely wiped off, and some purple clothes could even be seen in the corners.

Did all the people from the Purple Heaven Dao Sect die here......

He thought silently, his eyes scanning the familiar town.

The town was quiet and peaceful, and his presence did not cause much shock.

Ning Chang glanced in the direction of Liantang, he hesitated for a moment, but still took the lead to Zhang Qiyu's house.

The door was hidden, and Ning Chang knocked symbolically and pushed the door and walked in.

Qiu Sheng, who was cleaning up the house, heard the movement behind him, was slightly startled, turned his head, he rubbed his eyes, saw the person clearly, and said in surprise: "Immortal Master, why are you back?"

Ning Changjiu found that his eyes seemed to be a little red, as if he had cried.

"What's wrong?" Ning Chang asked, glancing at the salute on the ground.

Qiusheng lowered his head.

Behind the door, the little girl holding the black cat poked her head out and looked at it, and saw that it was Ning who walked over cautiously after a long time.

"You're moving?" Ning asked again.

Qiusheng snorted and said, "Grandpa is leaving, and before leaving, he instructed me to go to the mayor's house to live." ”

"Gone?" Ning Changchang was slightly startled, thinking that Hanchi Zhenren really killed Zhang Qiyu and then took away Jiuying.

Qiusheng knew that Ning Jiujiu had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "No, grandpa...... Grandpa left, he said that he was going to a far away place, and he didn't know if he would be able to come back in the future. ”

Ning Changjiu thought of something and asked, "Someone took him away?"

Qiusheng nodded.

Ning Changchang asked, "Who is it?"

Qiusheng thought seriously for a while, but he couldn't remember the person's appearance, he shook his head and said, "I don't remember." ”

Ning Chang already knew it in his heart.

Sure enough, Zhang Kaiyu will go to Dahe Town sooner or later, but in this life, he went to Dahe Town eight years later, so who is the one who came?

Ning Changchang recalled for a while, the only people who often go down the mountain are the fourth senior sister and the fifth senior brother, that should be one of them, it was the fourth senior sister eight years ago, and this time it may be her.

No wonder......

Ning Changjiu figured out a lot of things that he thought were unreasonable before.

Ning Changjiu comforted: "The place where your grandfather went is very safe, and in a few years, you should meet again." ”

Qiusheng's eyes lit up slightly, and he was still a little distrustful: "Really......"

Ning Chang said: "Immortals don't deceive people. ”

Qiusheng nodded vigorously.

Xiaolian on the side also seemed to hear something worth being happy about, grabbed Xiao Hei's elbow with both hands, stretched out her arm, as if she wanted to give it as a gift to Ning Chang to touch, Xiao Hei was grabbed by her hand, her limbs were spread, her body hung down, and she screamed.

Ning Changjiu stretched out his hand and scratched Xiao Hei's belly, although there was a faint smile on his face, his expression was dark, and he was thinking about something absentmindedly.

Ning Changjiu suddenly asked, "Where is the big black snake?"

Since Jiuying is still alive, it means that the task given to them by Master Guan is only to take away Zhang Kaiyu, and the master has always been the same, and the senior brothers and sisters do not have the habit of drawing snakes to add to their feet, so the snake should still be alive......

Qiusheng didn't expect him to ask this.

Now that there has been a big demon battle on that lotus pond, it is already a matter known to the townspeople.

Most of the lotus leaves in the lotus pond have been stirred, and the silt has not yet sunk, and it is still muddy, and many people are distressed to death. I don't know if this year's Lotus Seed Festival can be held.

Many people have different opinions about the details of that battle, and no one can give a word for sure.

Qiusheng shook his head and said, "I don't know, but that big black snake is so big, no one should be able to hurt it." ”

Ning Chang nodded and said, "I know, you take good care of yourself, if you have the opportunity in the future, I can take you to see your grandfather." ”

Qiusheng felt that he should be comforting himself, but he still nodded with gratitude, and said, "Immortal Master is just here and leaving, why don't you eat a fish......"

Ning Chang shook his head and refused, and kept rushing in the direction of Liantang.

He untied a lotus boat and took the boat into the water, at this moment the lotus pond was no longer clear and ethereal, and it was turbid when he looked at it.

The lotus boat boiled and quickly sailed into the center, and Ning Chang unfolded his divine sense, but he couldn't perceive the location of the black snake on the divine consciousness scroll.

He pondered for a while, but did not give up, pinched a trick to avoid water, and dived under the lotus pond.

This lotus pond is surprisingly large, even if Ning Changchang opens his sword eyes, he is far from being able to see the bottom of the pond, and the stems of those lotus flowers are also extremely unusual, the seemingly slender and tender stems have extended to the depths of the lotus pond, I don't know how many zhang to follow, looking at the water, they are like the dragon pillars in the chaotic world.

After Ning Chang entered the water, his figure dived quickly.

After walking for a while, he came to the bottom of the pond, the bottom of the pond was almost unobstructed, there were large and small river snails and shells buried between the mud and sand, and the surviving fish kept pointing at the sand at the bottom of the pond with their fish lips, not knowing what they were searching, Ning Chang continued to spread out the great net of divine consciousness, trying to search for any traces of huge life activities, but there was still no reply.

It was dark underwater, as if only the icy water of the lake enveloped him.

Ning Changjiu tried his best to erase the worries in his heart and calm himself down a little, he was like a black shadow of water droplets, bringing up patches of river sand between the high-speed walks.

But the search still yielded no results.

If the snake is really dead, there should be bones in the lotus pond. Because it is impossible for its bones to be brought back, it is not impressive, and the senior brothers and sisters have no habit of opening meat, if this snake is brought back, won't the food for the next half a year be snake meat?

Ning Changjiu thought like this, and resurfaced, he closed his eyes and recalled the scene of the first time he saw the snake.

He knew that there must be a mystery under the lotus pond, and such an important creature as a snake cultivator, Zhang Kaiyu must have the means to hide it.

He retrieved the floating lotus boat and came to the location where the snake first appeared in his memory.

Ning Changjiu pulled out the sword at his waist, carved a symbol on the boat, and then threw the sword down along the mark on the ship.

The sword has no emotion, so it will not be deceived either.

Ning Chang sensed the sword's whereabouts, and sighed lightly - the sword was obviously descending vertically, but with each layer, the position would be staggered, and it didn't take long for the sword to be far from the position of the symbol engraved on the boat.

Ning Chang drove the lotus boat, sensed the true location of the sword, re-found the point where the scale on the boat matched the sword, and then got off the boat from the carved place and entered the water to seek the sword.

He used the method of water and moon in the mirror to imitate himself as a phantom, and was not interfered with by Zhang Qiyu's spatial law.

The Divine Consciousness connected the scale of the lotus boat and the position of the sword, drawing an absolutely straight line, and he descended along the line of the divine consciousness and successfully came to the location of the sword.

Ning Chang opened his eyes and found that half of the sword body was stuck in the mud.

Ning Chang knew it in his heart.

He brushed away the thick mud and sand with his hands, and found a stone tablet painting under the mud and sand, and the stone tablet painting was a picture scroll of repairing snakes and swallowing elephants, but this picture scroll was far more detailed, and the snake cultivation in the picture scroll was in its heyday, it was wrapped around the extremely high peaks, and opened its mouth, as if to swallow the entire mountain peak into its belly, and under the peak, there were four elephant-like giant hooves.

Humans were under the mountain peaks, holding the stone tools and bows and arrows they had found, and they were afraid to move forward.

Ning Chang had no intention of appreciating it, he already roughly understood the meaning of Zhang Kaiyu's painting skills.

Zhang Kaiyu's ability is to open up space, this ability originally did not have much characteristics, but through the efforts of the day after tomorrow, he independently studied a set of miraculous painting skills, he used this painting technique as the lock of each space, and then simulated the carrier of the painting, rice paper, into a mirror, so that the space can reflect each other, upside down, and only need two opposite "mirrors" to construct a layer of endless space box.

Ning Changchang is the person in this world, except for Zhang Kaiyu, who is most familiar with this "lock".

He quickly found irregularities in the mural and used his finger as a carving knife to complete the original appearance of the mural - he drew a sword in the hands of two unarmed Terrans.

The ripples rippled again.

Ning Chang's figure penetrated the mural and swam backwards.

There is no cave under the lotus pond.

It was a tall and thick mountain, and there were many broken gaps in the hard rocks, and in the gaps there were Sen Sen's bones.

After a brief moment of surprise, Ning Chang realized that this was the bone of the divine elephant.

Three thousand years later, they are still largely intact.

Even the highest mountain in the world will sink to the bottom of the sea, and it is a miracle of time that it is still intact under the vicissitudes of life.

And that snake cultivation snake is wrapped around the body of the divine elephant, its realm is far from the peak at the moment, so its size looks much smaller, far from the proud momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers on the scroll.

There were countless traces of battle on the body of the snake, and the white flesh turned out from under the scales, and the broken scales were still falling one after another as its body wriggled.

Xiu Snake looked at this familiar human, the snake's head shrunk, faintly hostile.

Ning Chang came to it and said bluntly: "Three thousand years ago, Jiuying and Qiqi betrayed you. ”

"In the battle of the hunters, Jiuying and Qiqi pretended to deal with the other guardian gods, leaving you alone to deal with that god elephant, how powerful you were in your heyday, that god elephant is indeed not your opponent. ”

"But in the end you won the victory and swallowed the Elephant, but you could not destroy it at once, and you left behind the seeds of evil. After swallowing the Divine Elephant, you are the weakest you, and that is also your biggest flaw. ”

"The Nine Babies and the Monkey are actually hidden among those Terrans. ”

"On the mural here, the painting scroll painted by Qiqi obviously has different brushstrokes, and these details are deliberately left by him, or he is also complacent about the plot back then. ”

"Now that the Monkey is gone, but the Nine Babies are still there, I can take you to take revenge. ”

Ning Chang's speech speed was very fast, but his words were clear.

He didn't know if what he said was true or not, but it sounded reasonable.

Xiu Snake stared at him without blinking.

Even if its body is no longer huge now, but at this moment in this deep lake, this huge figure wrapped around the stone statue is still like an ancient god, and every deep water is a layer of historical fog.

The snake opened its mouth, and its throat emitted wavy lines.

This is the words of the snake cultivator, Ning Chang can't understand it, but he can feel the meaning of resistance from it.

This resistance is not aggressive, but because it is unwilling to leave the underwater.

Ning Changchang knew in his heart that this should also be a means for the unobservable senior brothers and sisters.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a hot gold, the color of the morning sun when it first crossed the horizon.

A golden crow flew up to his shoulder.

The snake's vertical pupils suddenly thinned.

As if sensing something terrible, its body coiled on the stone elephant writhed, its already shattered scales falling in a flutter, and snow falling to the bottom of the deep lake.

The golden crow flew out and gnawed away all the darkness in the water.

Then, as if dissolved in the water, a large area of the lake turned into a gilded color, winding towards the place where the snake was.

The snake kept struggling in the water, but it was like a poisonous snake meeting an eagle, and there was no chance to resist.

It was a natural suppression in the bloodline.

But this move was extremely consuming of spiritual power, and Ning Changjiu's face soon turned paler than his clothes.

The snake repaired violently.

The golden crow is like the sun penetrating the glass, no matter how thick the glass is, it will penetrate the past unhindered.

The golden crow wrapped around the seven inches of the snake and turned into a rein.

Ning Chang was connected to the Golden Crow Divine Thought, and his figure appeared on the back of the cultivator in the next moment, he grabbed one end of the reins, and forcibly poured the words he had said before into its brain through the Golden Crow, trying to replace the previous proverbs set by the senior brothers and sisters, and lay a new brand.

In the world of demon beasts, the suppression of the bloodline is sometimes more terrifying than the suppression of the realm, and the fear brought by the golden crow even makes the snake cultivator unable to have any thoughts of resisting, as if it was born as a servant of this golden divine bird.

Soon, the water surface of the lotus pond would explode again, and Ning Changjiu's figure holding the golden reins was like a god driving the black dragon to the sky.

......

......

In the hollow of an ancient tree, the back of Lu Marriage's sword dress had been stained red with blood, and she hid in this hole, trying her best to stabilize her injuries.

She originally thought that after her sword body was cultivated, she would be able to completely ignore the knots of her body and truly achieve spiritual power as she wanted.

But many times of refining the body did not really give her an indestructible body, a whole day of fighting and thunder poured her whole body, her originally hidden injuries finally could not be stretched, and the wound that opened again almost killed her.

She briefly escaped the pursuit of the Nine Babies and hid in this tree hole to recuperate from her injuries.

She knew that it wouldn't be long before Jiu Ying would catch up again, and this inevitable result made her upset, because although she could temporarily suppress the injuries in her body at this moment, this could not solve the problem at all, she fought with Jiu Ying, which was already extremely difficult, but now the injuries are getting worse, and the final chance of victory has also been erased.

Is this going to be the way you die...... Lu Zaimari remembered that not long ago, when the sword body was in high spirits, he leaned his back against the trunk of the tree and smiled bitterly.

In the past, she was not very afraid of death, but now she is more and more desperate for her life.

She still has a lot of things to do.

For some reason, at such a critical juncture, she remembered the demon calamity.

In the heart demon tribulation, she and Ning Changjiu experienced many years as apprentices, boating on the blue lake, walking together in the wilderness, heavy rain on the same roof, heavy snow with an umbrella, white gas on the hot porridge in winter, and ice and snow in the cup in the summer......

Those scenes are obviously fake, but they make her so attached. Maybe that's why she subconsciously didn't want to wake up.

She regretted a little, if she hadn't been obsessed with this and woke up earlier, would she have been able to interrupt the fusion of Hanchi Zhenren and Jiuying and avoid all this from happening?

It's all to blame for Ning Chang's criminal...... She silently shirked her responsibility in her heart, but the corners of her mouth hooked a slight arc.

Behind him came the roar of the Nine Babies crushing the trees.

Her ears were suffocated by another voice.

It was Shi Yao who read softly to himself in the heart demon tribulation, when he was still young, Ning Chang was on the snow-covered sword field.

"The years are like flowing, what is the life of life? I see Luyan in the morning, and my heart goes to Jianghuai. Looking at the morning glory, Yang Yue. Hide your weeping with a thousand sorrows, and return to your bowels at night. I don't know that I am living, and I don't know that I am ...... death"*

The age of this poem is no longer available, and many of the place names can no longer be compared, but the emotions kneaded between the rhyme and feet seem to be able to easily cross the gap of the years, and wash the heart lake like spring breeze and rain over and over again.

Lu married's heart was calm again.

She pulled out Minglan.

At the moment when Jiuying's huge body ran over, Lu Married kicked the trunk of the tree, and the figure rushed out with the help of force, like a white line, and swept forward again.

Nine babies and nine lives are definitely not something she can compete with now.

So the direction she went was the Southern Wilderness bounded by the Red River.

That was the only chance she could think of.

But she still overestimates her current body.

After all, she is not a cold weapon without real emotions.

The injury to her back dragged her down.

On the horizon, the sun gradually changed color and sank to the west.

Without the cover of white light, Lu Marrying a snow-shadow-like figure became much clearer in the field, and the shadow of Jiuying was getting closer and closer to her.

The noisy conversation was more like pebbles smashed on the surface of the heart lake, trying to disturb her state of mind.

Pong!Pong!Pong!

The huge paws of the nine babies stepped on the ground, leaving a mark with a huge span everywhere they passed.

In order to move faster, it even used the remaining eight heads as claws, and ran at a rapid speed with its hands and feet.

Lu Chengwan glanced at the ground.

In the elongated shadow of the sun, the mountain-like shadow was almost overlapping with itself.

Table tennis!

Nine Babies slammed their heads to the ground again.

Lu Married's figure dodged left and right in the stormy blows of the Nine Infants, and her snow-white clothes were splashed with a large amount of dust.

The noisy words of the Nine Babies were closed again, almost ringing in the ears.

"Kill her, kill her!"

"Kill her ......"

The nine heads of the nine babies repeated a sentence without emotion, but this sentence carried a concise and shocking power, like a sentence from a god.

Lu Zaiyu felt that her body was getting heavier and heavier.

Her heart also sank to the bottom little by little.

With another loud bang, Lu Married was finally hit by a mallet of the Nine Infants, and his body was thrown forward at high speed, and then he was imprisoned by the other of the Nine Babies by the law of space and smashed to the other side.

The pain eroded the whole body, the world whirled, Lu Yu's consciousness was shocked, his wrist was numb, and the Minglan sword almost came out.

Jiuying used space as a shackle, imprisoned Lu Marry in it, and threw it high, and the middle one finally opened its bloody mouth, to crush it to death with sharp teeth, and then swallow it into the abdomen.

"Blood...... The Blood ...... of the Woman in White"

"Wouldn't it be a shame to kill her like this......"

"Don't think about anything else, the kingdom of God in heaven may have sensed our existence!"

"Kill her......"

The words cut off abruptly.

In the afterglow of Lu's wedding, a black torrent roared away from under his clothes.

The torrent hit the Nine Babies and directly overturned it.

And when Lu Yu's body fell, a hand grabbed her wrist in the air, and her body was pulled violently, and then crashed into a chest that was not warm but very stable.

She opened her eyes and saw Ning Changjiu's face, and for a while she couldn't tell whether reality was a dream or a dream, and she subconsciously shouted: "Master......"

"Huh?" Ning Changjiu was also taken aback, he looked at the face of the woman in his arms who was pale due to injury, and thought with pity that the master he had recognized in his life was really a fool.

"I ...... I shouted wrong. Lu Marry immediately came to his senses, knowing that he was speechless, even if the situation was critical now, he still took the time to explain and maintain his extremely unstable dignity.

Ning Chang's tense heartstrings eased a little, and he smiled: "That's right, let's call it that way in the future, good man." ”

"You're dreaming!" Lu married a refuge, his shoulders moved slightly, and he wanted to break free, but he was clamped by Ning Chang for a long time.

Ning Changjiu laughed softly: "It's all shouted, don't rely on the account, in the future, the apprentice will not be careful, the master will not be affectionate, and the door rules will deal with it." ”

Lu married and wanted to reprimand in shame, but their bodies suddenly rose into the air.

Only then did Lu find out that they were actually on the back of a giant snake at the moment, and at this moment the giant snake raised its head high.

Snake ...... Lu Zhenmari suddenly understood its identity, and she felt more and more in her heart that Ning Chang had great powers, golden birds, black pythons, any kind of bizarre creatures could be taken out and used by him.

The body of the snake is larger than that of the Nine Infants, and the moment it suddenly appeared, it met the rapidly moving body of the Nine Infants, and the impact of the collision between the two was almost devastating, and the bones of the Nine Babies were made of fragments after all, and the strength of the bones was not as strong as that of the Snake Cultivator, and its body was not only overturned, but even its chest was dented because of the broken bones.

But three thousand years ago, Jiuying was the elder brother, and the authority it held was also to overpower the snake cultivator, and now the realm of the snake cultivator is even worse than it.

The Nine Babies fell to the ground, the heads hissed wildly, and the snake cultivator wrapped around it, wanting to crush it completely, while the nine babies stretched out the rest of their heads, the snake's mouth opened wide, and the sawtooth fell, shattering the scales of the snake cultivator, and directly penetrated into its flesh and blood.

Ning Changjiu pulled the golden reins with one hand, and held Lu Marrying with the other, and kept dodging under the bite of Jiuying.

The sound of the Nine Infants' bones being crushed was shocked, and the huge body of the snake cultivator was also torn off countless bites.

The sound of scales being punctured rang in my ears.

Ning Chang narrowly avoided the attack of the head of the nine infants, and the sharp teeth of the nine infants also fell deep into the flesh and blood of the snake.

Ning Changjiu let go of the hand that landed on the waist of the hoop, and roared sharply: "Behead !!"

Lu took advantage of the previous few breaths to calm his mood.

She understood Ning's long-term words, temporarily suppressed the injury, and rose into the air.

The woman raised her sword in both hands, the wind filled her sleeves, revealing her snow-white slender arms, and she slashed down at the torso with the fairy sword that burned the holy flame.

......

......
