The ministers who knelt down at the edge of the huge pit may not have heard the movement over there too clearly, but Lu had been married and cultivated for many years, and her ears and eyes were clear, and the slight sound of fighting from there was very real, and her amber-like crystal clear ears were slightly flushed in the sun, and after hesitating for a while, she walked over against the light and held her sword.

Ning Xiaoling held the golden crow, and after seeing Lu marrying, he was very happy, and hurriedly greeted him, and saluted: "Xiaoling greets the master I haven't seen for a long time." ”

Lu Wedding rubbed her head, her face was soft, her expression could not hide her relief and joy, she smiled and said: "It's okay, Xiaoling is fine, this month...... What happened in the city, and how did you get by?"

A few days ago, the Heavenly Sword Sect reopened its peak, and the disciples who returned to their hometowns for the New Year returned to the peak one after another, but Ning Changjiu and Ning Xiaoling did not return for a long time.

Lu Wedding originally sent people to the imperial city to look for them, but learned that Her Majesty the Empress of Zhao State had also disappeared for a month, she felt faintly uneasy, and asked Lu Yuanbai where he sent them that day, and then learned that the riverside city they went to was a remote city on the border of Zhao State, and this riverside city was evil and haunted, and the matter of enchantment isolating the city had been spread in many places, and Lu Married had been in retreat, so he only knew the news at this moment.

She rushed overnight, only to find that the city's barrier was far stronger than she had imagined, and she couldn't cut through the darkness of the upside-down city with hundreds of swords.

In anxiety and powerlessness, she waited outside the city for three days along with many others, until half an hour ago, a light suddenly appeared in the abyss-like darkness that ran through the sky above the city, and that light was not like a sword light, but like a narrow lightning bolt frozen in the clouds like ink.

Then it all happened very quickly, the darkness showed eggshell-like cracks, and in an instant the earth crumbled, the barrier of the city crumbled in a few breaths, and the winter sun was not warm but bright enough, and it shone into the lifeless city, so dazzling that it made you want to cry.

And in this city, those undead have already been gnawed clean by the soul worms when Madame Bai finally died to become a god, and only one or two hundred people survived relying on raw rice.

They were all yellow and thin, and the cramps in their stomachs that could not digest the raw rice tormented them day by day, until today, they have witnessed the fire falling from the sky and the electric light piercing the sky, and watched the sun shine in and sprinkle the earth.

But many people still huddle in fear, feeling that the sunlight outside is not only so unreal, but also piercing the soul, and at the moment they can't even tell whether they are living or ghost, for fear that the sun will disappear at the sight of it.

The singer who had become a soul-crosser after her death stepped out of the shadows of the attic, she was a dead soul, and she stepped into the light, which pierced her body like a sword.

She is an insignificant role in this city, before the Shendu Divine Kingdom could not be truly established and could not contain the souls of the entire Nanzhou, her influence on the Xudu was not even as good as that of Niu Tou Ma Mian, so from the beginning to the end of this war, no one paid attention to her, and she also hid in a no-man's corner, afraid of light and darkness, until this moment finally woke up from a big dream.

She remembered the day she fell from the building a month ago, the spasmodic pain when the dagger stabbed into her lower abdomen made her feel a trace of remorse, but the courage of death finally overwhelmed her, and at this moment, all thoughts were disillusioned and gave her another kind of courage, she hummed softly and walked forward with a beautiful gait.

"The winter wind blows the velvet boat to drink, and the half boat of ice and snow is alone. Twilight is like washing red. The old country dreamed back then, and who did the hatred ...... with"

She sang lightly, and the fragrance died in the wind.

......

......

Lu married and took away the comatose Ning Changjiu and Zhao Xiang'er in the name of healing, and returned to the old mansion where they had lived for a month under the guidance of Ning Xiaoling.

The aftermath of Madame Bai's sword to destroy the city happened to spread to the street in front of the house, the houses and courtyard walls in front of the house collapsed like wheat crushed by wheels, most of them had been crushed into powder, and at this moment in the sunlight, you can clearly see the fine dust waves rolling on the ground.

Walking into the courtyard, Lu Married put the two down and reminded loudly: "There is no one else, don't pretend." ”

After a while, Ning Changjiu and Zhao Xiang'er opened their eyes, the two glanced at each other, and then quickly staggered their gazes, especially Zhao Xiang'er, her pretty face was tense, and the anger in her eyes was almost erupting.

Ning Changjiu still felt a sharp stinging pain in his head, he rubbed his eyebrows, thinking about everything that had just happened, he felt that he had really done something out of line, very guilty, he opened his mouth, and the words of apology swirled around his mouth for a while, but when he saw Zhao Xiang'er's cold face, he swallowed it back.

He saluted Lu and said, "I've seen Master." ”

Lu Yumari looked him up and down, and frowned: "Your clothes ......"

Ning Changjiu then remembered that he was still wearing a white dress at the moment, and he remembered the domineering scene where he had previously summoned the innate spirit, and that scene with this white dress suddenly looked quite strange.

Although Zhao Xianger also wears men's clothes, her men's clothes are quite heroic and beautiful, and they must not be the same as her own women's clothes.

He sighed silently in his heart, thinking that if it were not for the situation, he would never have agreed to such a plan, and now, after the war, he had not had time to change his clothes, and his appearance was seen by many people.

He tugged at the corner of his white skirt and lowered his head helplessly.

"It's pretty good. Lu didn't know what to say, so he praised him.

Ning Chang wanted to run away, he held his forehead and didn't answer.

Lu Marrying looked at him, her thoughts were complicated, she didn't know what was going on, but she remembered the scene where the nine feathers covered them just now, and her heart was even more strange.

She looked at Zhao Xiang'er and said, "Why don't Miss Zhao go back to the room to rest first, and I will take care of you later and heal your injuries." ”

Zhao Xiang'er said coldly: "No need. ”

After speaking, her lips pursed, she didn't look at Ning Changchang, and turned around and left directly.

Lu Married sighed, looked at the young man in the white dress with a slightly guilty expression, and asked, "What's going on?"

Ning thought for a long time and said, "Master misunderstood, in fact, we really didn't do anything just now, at that time, under Jiuyu, we killed Madame Bai in celebration of killing Madame Bai in ...... High-five! This dress is also ......."

Lu Zaimari closed his eyes, not wanting to listen to his clumsy explanation, so he directly stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, and said angrily: "Come here." ”

Ning Changjiu and Ning Xiaoling followed, Ning Xiaoling pulled his senior brother's sleeve, glared at him angrily, and lowered his voice and said, "Don't make Master angry anymore!"

After entering the house, Lu Married's face eased a lot, and Xu was in retreat

For the sake of months, Lu Wedding looks thinner at this moment, and the long wait outside the city has added a lot of sorrow to her beautiful face, like the orchids in the valley outside the world dyed with fireworks and dust in the world.

Lu Wedding looked at them, the big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and his expression was rare and reassuring.

She looked at the three-legged golden crow in Ning Xiaoling's arms, sighed softly, and asked, "Is this ......?"

Ning Xiaoling realized that she was still holding this bird, and she hurriedly said, "This is Senior Brother's bird!"

As she spoke, she threw the bird, and the golden crow fluttered its wings and flew back to Ning Changjiu's shoulder.

"......" Ning Chang stroked the thin golden wings of the golden black and said, "This is my innate spirit. ”

Lu Marrying was surprised: "Innate spirit?"

Ning Chang nodded and said, "I'm in the Xuan." ”

Lu Marry didn't care about this, she looked at the bird and felt that the bird was vivid, and the innate spirit should only have skin, and everything that was shown was also the manipulation of human consciousness and the influence of human potential beastlines, and it should never be so lifelike.

Ning Chang saw the question in her heart, and he shook his head and said, "I don't know what kind of existence it is. ”

Lu Zhenmari stared at the golden crow and asked, "The innate spirit is congenitally defective, and it needs to be slowly made up for by cultivation, it ...... What's missing?"

Lu Zhenyao looked at it and felt that it was almost no different from the three-legged golden crow in the mythological impression.

Ning Chang looked at the bird on his shoulder, recalled its appearance in the previous life, pondered for a while, and said, "Maybe this bird is not big enough?"

Lu Yu's eyes condensed slightly, and there was a slight chill, and she hummed softly, although there was a lot of confusion in her heart, she didn't seem to want to continue this topic.

She asked, "What happened in this city this month?"

Ning Changjiu told her about what happened this month, and Ning Xiaoling kept interjecting to add some details, such as the scene when Ning Changjiu was beaten, so Lu Jiao's nervous expression occasionally flashed a smile or two, and after listening to him finish telling the battle of wits and courage with the White Lady, Lu Jiayao sighed softly.

"Is it such a danger again?" said Lu Marry.

Ning Chang said: "If the White Lady successfully constructs the Divine Kingdom, she can enter the Five Realms at once, and if she really builds ten complete Yama Halls as she originally conceived, then she may even reach the three parallel realms in the legend, pointing straight to Ascension." ”

Lu Married also felt that everything was a little unreal, and she asked, "You said that the body of the White Lady is one of the broken corpses of a god?"

Ning Changjiu replied: "At that time, it was true on the picture scroll of the mythological logic, but her first mythological logic was wrong, which led to the failure of the kingdom of God when it was about to be completed. ”

Lu married and thought for a while, and said, "The bone demon crawling out of the Southern Wilderness?"

Ning Chang nodded and said, "Master also understands?"

Lu married and recalled: "I heard some things from the master before, and there are some records in the sect's classics, but I don't know much, I have only heard that there is indeed an abyss in the center of the Southern Wilderness, that abyss is called the place of bones, and there is a steady stream of black waterfalls at the edge of the abyss...... No one knows what's hidden inside. ”

Ning Changjiu knew very little about the wild land in Nanzhou, and said, "Madame Bai crawled out of the abyss?"

Lu married and said: "If the record is true, the wall of the abyss should be extremely difficult for pedestrians, how can she climb out?"

Ning Changjiu didn't know, he felt a chill on his back, and said, "It's just that some of the corpses turned into monsters are so powerful, so what kind of existence should that divine bone be when it was alive?"

Lu married and said: "The lord of the twelve kingdoms is immortal, and the personality of the master of the divine bone should be second only to the level of the lord of the kingdom of God. ”

Ning Chang recalled the records in the classics, legend has it that in the kingdom of God, in addition to the lord of the country, there are also priests, and the two strongest of those priests are called the divine envoy and the heavenly monarch, because the lord of the kingdom of God cannot leave his own kingdom of God, so they must rely on these priests or their own projections to influence the world, and the realm of the divine envoy and the heavenly monarch is said to be the legendary three realms that are close to the apex of the world.

But if it is really a certain priest of the kingdom of God, their power is so strong, except for the lord of the kingdom of God, who can kill them?

What happened when the gods fell five hundred years ago?

Ning Chang let out a long breath, thinking that these things were not something that he could involve now, although his Purple Mansion Qi Sea and spiritual veins had been restored, the cultivation of the realm was still a long process, even in the previous life, he had cultivated for twenty-four years.

Ning Changchang asked, "Which one will be the turn of the town guard this year?"

Lu married and said: "Now is the year of empty hunting, and it will be the month of God's abandonment in a short time, and when the month of God's abandonment passes, the next year of the sin monarch will begin." ”

Ning Xiaoling listened on the sidelines, she was shocked and curious, she couldn't help but ask, "What are the Empty Hunt and the Sin King?"

These are the knowledge that can only be obtained from some books on the inner peak and high pavilion of the highest places of cultivation, and this knowledge itself is not a secret, but because it involves the most powerful existence in this world, many cultivators are afraid of some taboos in the dark, and they rarely talk about it.

Now Ning Xiaoling asked, and Lu Married explained: "This is the honorific name of the two lords of the kingdom of God, according to legend, the twelve lords of the kingdom in a fixed order, every year there will be a guard in the world, twelve people in a reincarnation, and between the alternation of each of them, it is said that there will be a gap of a month, in that month, the number of ghosts and evil spirits in the whole world will multiply, so it is called the month of God's abandonment, and in that month, all the sects will put down the struggle and destroy demons for the world with peace of mind." ”

Ning Xiaoling had heard something about the Moon of God's Abandonment before, but now she really understood it, and said, "Why is there a gap in this month?"

Lu Marrying shook his head and said: "This is one of the established laws of heaven and earth, and I don't know the specific reason, for example, this year's month of God's forsaken is April, next year will be May, and the next year will be June." ”

Ning Chang thought of something that he had been ignoring in the past, and said, "In other words, it actually took thirteen years for the twelve lords of the Divine Kingdom to guard the human world?"

Lu Married nodded and said, "That's true." ”

A flash of light flashed in Ning Changjiu's mind, he vaguely felt that he had touched something, but he couldn't think of a specific direction.

Ning Xiaoling smiled and said, "Maybe the month when the immortals are absent is a test for our cultivators!"

Lu Marry also laughed: "In this year's month of God's abandonment, Xiao Ling must behave well and kill every year."

Those who have the most evil spirits can be rewarded by the four peaks. ”

Ning Xiaoling remembered the years when the mountain ghosts attacked the city, and nodded vigorously: "It is the duty of a cultivator to subdue demons and eliminate demons. ”

Lu Marry smiled with satisfaction.

Ning Changchang asked, "How is Master's one-month retreat?"

Lu married a smile slightly, and did not hide it: "The Dao realm has made more progress, but the cultivation has not improved enough." ”

Ning Chang looked at the golden crow on his shoulder, and said uncertainly: "I may have a way." ”

Ning Xiaoling also remembered that her injuries were healed by this beautiful golden bird, and she only felt that something warm had wrapped her at that time, as if she was in a wasteland watching a big sunset.

She hurriedly said, "Maybe Senior Brother's little bird can help marry Master to heal his wounds!"

After finishing speaking, she looked at them excitedly, only to find that for some reason, the faces of the senior brother and the master seemed to be a little strange.

Ning Changjiu took the lead in smiling, breaking the embarrassment, and said, "Senior sister, let me get to know you, this golden bird is called the three-legged golden crow." ”

"Jin Crow ......" Ning Xiaoling thought thoughtfully: "I've heard of it, Jin Crow Zangjiao...... Hey, Zangjiao...... Why is Senior Brother's Innate Spirit so strange?"

“......”

Lu married married the most clear about the condition of her body, the blow on the back of the red-tailed old gentleman that day was too deep, and the two points of Yunqi Baifu were almost destroyed, if it weren't for the fact that she was a special sword spirit with the same physique, if she was replaced by other ordinary cultivators, not only would the path of cultivation be cut off all her life, but she would also be very likely to die.

Because she was too clear about the state of her body, she became more and more desperate, and she roughly calculated that she would slowly heal at the current speed, at least three and a half years later, and it would have been something that cultivators could have waited for, but if the sect master's succession was carried out in advance......

She didn't expect much from Ning Changjiu's words, and sighed: "You go and see Miss Zhao first, she seems to be very angry." ”

Ning Changjiu pursed his lips and said, "Okay." ”

......

When there was a knock on the door, Zhao Xiang'er was sitting on the couch meditating and healing.

The old red umbrella beside her was now in tatters, and half of the umbrella was almost burned by the Red Lotus Hell Fire, and if it was held up when it rained, it would definitely leak water.

And her physical condition is also a little bad, this is her second exhaustion, much more serious than the one a month ago, when she raised her umbrella to resist the blow of Madame Bai with her sword, she only felt as if the entire city was pressed against her body, all the bones were stretched to the limit in an instant, as long as Madame Bai used more force, she would die under that sword.

And she has paid so much, that Ning Changjiu actually humiliated herself like this...... Although he beats him every day on weekdays, it is also for the sake of the overall situation, how can he be so careful?

At that time, he was so honest when he was beaten, how did he become like this now that he has married an innate spirit?

She fumbled her slightly itchy lips, thinking about the strange dream she had just had, and then thinking of the scene under the nine feathers later, how could Ning Chang be such a scoundrel and dare to ...... She scolded in her heart, the pain in her body was even worse, she took a deep breath, didn't think about it, and then lowered her head, and found that this very ill-fitting white men's dress was also Ning Chang.

Looking at this dress, she felt even tighter in her chest, she reached behind her head, brushed the black hair that was piled up like a dark cloud, and then began to untie her clothes, intending to change into a new one.

There was a knock on the door.

Zhao Xiang'er was pinching the placket of her clothes with her hands, she didn't raise her head, and said, "Get out!"

Ning Chang said: "I have something to do with Your Highness." ”

Zhao Xiang'er asked, "What's the matter?"

Ning thought for a long time and said tentatively: "Change clothes?"

Zhao Xiang'er couldn't bear it anymore, her spiritual power recovered a little, her figure moved suddenly, the door of the house opened in an instant, Ning Changjiu only felt that the wind was coming, and then punched him.

This time, he didn't even hold up a punch, and was pressed to the ground by Zhao Xiang'er, she sat directly on his body with her legs spread out, and slammed her fists down and beat him hard.

Ning Changjiu knew that she wanted to vent her anger, so she only resisted symbolically, just to prevent Lu Marrying and Ning Xiaoling from hearing it, he desperately did not make a sound and begged for mercy, and finally when he got up from the ground with a blue nose and swollen face, Zhao Xiang'er rubbed her fist, and she was also drenched in sweat, but her anger didn't seem to have disappeared, and said: "Go back and change it yourself, who wants to wear the clothes you worn?"

As she spoke, she slammed the door again, leaving Ning Changjiu outside alone.

Ning Chang was extremely helpless, he used his spiritual power to erase his external injuries and returned home.

He walked into the study, and after a while, Ning Xiaoling also crept in and asked, "How is the senior brother?"

Ning Chang sighed: "Why don't you go and help my senior brother say good things?"

Ning Xiaoling pursed her lips and said, "Sister Xiang'er is so fierce now, I don't dare to go." ”

Ning didn't speak for a long time, took the pen and ink, spread out a piece of paper, and began to write.

Ning Xiaoling continued to ask: "Senior brother, how did you make Sister Xiang'er angry, what are you doing under the Nine Feather......s?" I've obviously heard that it's a very happy thing, why did Sister Xiang'er react so violently, is it your problem, senior brother?"

"......" Ning Chang lamented: "Senior sister, have you been taken away by a monster, why are you talking so hurtful." ”

Ning Xiaoling said: "Sister Xiang'er is your fiancée, that's me...... Senior brother, of course I'm anxious for you. ”

Ning Jiu pondered and finished writing a paragraph, gently dried and folded it, and said, "What are you anxious about, you yellow-haired girl, listen to your marrying master, and practice with peace of mind." ”

Ning Xiaoling listened to this set of clichés, and was not motivated at all, and asked, "Senior brother, what are you writing?"

Ning Changchang said calmly: "Then Zhao Xiang'er deceived people too much, I am giving her a war letter, and I want to invite her to fight, and she will be ashamed." ”

......

Late at night, Zhao Xiang'er, who was meditating and pranayama, was disturbed by the knock on the door again.

She raised her eyebrows, originally her anger had disappeared by half, but now seeing that he dared to visit late at night, she must not have a good heart, and said angrily: "Looking for death again?"

This time, the other party seemed to know the current affairs very well, and only a note was stuffed through the crack in the door.

Zhao Xiang'er walked to the door, leaned over and picked it up, she originally wanted to burn it directly, but after thinking for a while, she opened it and took a look, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she read out the words on the paper gently: "Letter of apology?"

......
