Adults say that dusk is a bad time of the day, because this moment is the alternation of light and darkness, and the little ghosts will be especially rampant at this moment. If children don't come home before dusk and have to play alone, they can easily get distracted.

Dugu Nirvana was also very afraid of ghosts, but after a long time, he didn't find any ghosts entangled, and this feeling faded.

Since the tragedy in Fuying Town became Dugu Niena's nightmare, Dugu Nirvana began to fear death, afraid of the aging of himself and his family, afraid of seeing lonely old people, afraid of seeing homeless cats and dogs.

I am afraid of separation.

Left my father and mother and came to Donglin Town, no matter how strict my father and mother usually are to themselves, I still miss them very much. His master, Master Li Xiao, also said that he would not be able to go back to see his father and mother until he could protect himself and his family, and Dugu Ni didn't know how long it would take.

and the ninth uncle who loved him the most, Qu Liu, he left quietly, leaving behind Bai Ming, the ninth aunt who was tormented by longing and couldn't give up all day. and Li Xiao, who left without knowing the date of return on the day he became his master. All of them made him feel an inexplicable melancholy in his heart.

Even after having fun with Wang Xiao and Jinghu every day, when they had to go back to their respective homes, there was a trace of loss, and at that hour, the sky was sinking day by day.

Dugu Nirvana doesn't even like the end.

The feeling of reading the book, the feeling of learning a certain set of martial arts, and the feeling that the cultivation is coming to an end. The assessment, the feeling that it is almost over, and the feeling that Fang Wutong obviously thought that he could become friends, but he was inexplicably near and far.

Every time at this time, Dugu Nirvana's heart will be very depressed.

Just like today, when the first place in the June exam already belonged to Donglin Minxue, I was not as happy and satisfied as I imagined, and the pride and pride did not last for a long, long time. Even if he really wins Zhang Hanhai tomorrow and gets the Shenwu Heart Sutra, how long can he be happy? There will always be a new goal and expectation one after another. And I don't know how much these goals and expectations will be achieved or how much will be shattered, and I will die suddenly.

Dugu Nirvana felt very strange to himself, could it be that what he wanted was something that was eternal and unchanging, and when he knew that something would not last long, would he feel uneasy?

Dugu Ni thought about it like this while slowly walking home.

The sun has disappeared, and in the courtyard of Lane 7 of Donghua Street, Dugu Ni is sitting alone in the courtyard, looking at the dark sky. He didn't go out to play, nor did he cultivate, he just sat quietly on a small stool, in a daze, his heart empty.

He tried to think back to everything he had learned, what he wanted to find in it, to convince himself, to erase the gloom he had now.

I don't know how long it took for Dugu Ni to see that there seemed to be something different in the sky.

They are stars, some big, some small, some bright, some dark. Dugu Nirvana just watched like that, watched. After a long time, there are more and more stars, the night sky is like a light veil with blue in the black, and the stars, like countless gems inlaid on it, shine brightly, although they cannot compete with the bright moon, but they are more lovely.

It's so beautiful! Dugu Nien's heart was suddenly moved. In the past six months, every time at this hour, Dugu Nirvana's whole body has been devoted to cultivation, and today's scene is like a reunion between Dugu Nirvana and the starry sky after a long absence.

The beauty of the stars may be due to the darkness of the night, which can endure loneliness, so that you can wait for the right time for you to bloom.

Dugu Nie seemed to have suddenly rushed into something in his mind, and he was stunned there.

After a long while, Dugu Nirvana muttered, "No matter how beautiful it is, what's the use." By tomorrow, it's all gone, what's the point?"

After saying this, Dugu Nirvana seemed to think of something again, and his brows tightened. After a long, long time, he stretched his brow, grinned, and laughed.

Dugu Ni stretched his waist, stood up, took a stool, and walked into the east wing.

"Man is born only for one life, and exists for only one world. Feel the things that are close to you, and when your heart is tempted. ”

After reading this sentence, Dugu Nirvana cultivated his fighting strength again. After half a cup of tea, Dugu Nirvana opened his eyes, and although he was covered in sweat, his spirit was full again.

"Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hatred, desire. Dugu Nie read the seven emotions described in the first part of the forgetfulness recipe word by word, and his face showed a thoughtful look. Then, he said slowly: "Happy, happy, angry, angry, worried, worried, afraid, afraid, loved, loved, hated, hated, desired!" After saying this, Dugu Nirvana showed a smile on his face and closed his eyes again.

The aura of heaven and earth was constantly absorbed into Dugu Nirvana's body, and the speed was more than twice as fast as before.

The next day, Dugu Ni got up early, ran to the stove room to make a fire, and then washed rice and cooked porridge. Bai Ming also got up after a while, and when he saw Dugu Ni tinkering there, his heart felt a little warm.

After breakfast, Dugu Ni sat in the courtyard, pulling Bai Ming to watch the sunrise, Bai Ming smiled and said, "Silly boy, what's so nice about this?" Dugu Ni didn't refute, smirked, and watched there alone for a long time.

When it was almost time, Dugu Ni appeared at the gate of the school, looking at the students who were lined up in the phalanx at the gate of the martial arts arena waiting to enter, Dugu Ni smiled and walked over unhappily.

"Xiao Nirvana!" Fu Yunshang and Fu Yaotian ran over and said, "Slowly, I only came here at this time, how can I enjoy the feeling of being in the limelight?"

Dugu Nirvana smiled shyly and said, "No." Then the two of them walked into the front row of the student phalanx of Donglin Minxue School and stood beside Zhang Hanhai.

Zhang Hanhai asked in a low voice, "Do you want to win me?"

Dugu Ni smiled: "Yes!"

Zhang Hanhai said again: "Then I'll let you!"

Dugu Ni looked at Zhang Hanhai, he didn't look like a joke, so he said with a straight face: "Thank you Hanhai for your kindness, but this will make our school embarrassed, and I can't accept such a great favor from you for no reason." ”

Zhang Hanhai smiled again: "Don't you want the Shenwu Heart Sutra?"

Dugu Nie smiled awkwardly and said, "If you want to, it sounds very powerful, but I don't know how powerful it is." But don't let me see the jokes. ”

Zhang Hanhai nodded and stopped talking.

Not long after, Dugu Ni and Zhang Hanhai started the last round of competition.

The two have already fought many times, and this competition itself reveals a bit of weirdness. And when the students saw the two people fighting in close quarters for dozens of rounds, which lasted for more than half an hour, they were still Zhang Hanhai attacking and Dugu Nirvana was hiding, and they already felt uninterested.

This kind of battle seems to be fruitless, and it is also very ugly, even if Dugu Nirvana's body and footwork are exquisite.

However, the people who supervised the Wensi on the high platform and the masters had different feelings.

Ling Yunzhi looked at it seriously for a long time, and when the two children withdrew again to take a breather, he said to Li Dongxing: "These two children have a bright future! Dongxing, your school is very good this year!"

Li Dongxing bowed slightly and said, "Lord Xie's praise!"

For Dugu Nie, although he still hasn't taken off the sandbag in this competition, he doesn't spare his hand, and he also wants to see where his current limit is. The exertion of physical strength has made him from calm at the beginning to the need to stop and breathe from time to time, and the same is true for Zhang Hanhai. But once Zhang Hanhai rushes over, Dugu Nie will burst out with all his strength and use the "Four Seas Tour" to maneuver.

This time, after all, it is not a daily competition within the university, but an assessment.

Zhang Hanhai's loyal sword makes it impermeable. But Dugu Nie's "Four Seas Tour" allowed him to repeatedly turn danger into relief in Zhang Hanhai's ever-changing offensive. From time to time, Dugu Nie will also disrupt Zhang Hanhai's rhythm with "the four seas are dry".

If you continue to fight like this, it is the physical strength of the two of you.

If you choose to fight hard with Zhang Hanhai, you will definitely lose if you don't have a long time to accumulate strength. Therefore, Dugu Nie made up his mind, whether it was melee combat or distance, as long as he didn't find a good time, he would never make a move, it's a big deal, fight for consumption.

And Zhang Hanhai, in the face of Dugu Nie's strange body, did not dare to deliberately reveal any flaws, after all, he was careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years.

Although Dugu Nirvana gained enlightenment last night, he did not succeed in breaking through from the realm of condensing qi to the realm of qi sea, so the use of internal force did not produce any qualitative changes. It's just a faint feeling that his martial strength seems to be showing signs of breaking through the second layer. But also because the perception of his own internal force is hindered by the power of the Heavenly Mandate Pill, he is not sure.

From time to time, there were students in the stands who complained, but the masters of the school would reprimand them and let them observe carefully. It is said that laymen look at the liveliness, and insiders look at the doorway. If you study hard, this competition will also be very beneficial to these students. But how many students can be considered experts?

Dugu Ni looked at Zhang Hanhai who was panting, and constantly motivated himself in his heart, just like the madness shown by Dugu Ni in the heavy running, the more this time, the more Dugu Nirvana had to try to break through the limit. At this time, in addition to the great consumption of physical strength, the consumption of his mind is also very great, and it is also a great test for him to maintain absolute concentration for such a long time and react quickly.

Perhaps, the mind cultivator will have a greater advantage in such an aspect.

For Zhang Hanhai, maybe his mind will not be so consumed, and he has absolute self-confidence in strength, which is enough to keep his spirit from being tight, but the consumption of physical strength and internal strength is definitely a lot.

"How are you?" asked Zhang Hanhai, trying to control his breathing.

"I'm okay!" Dugu Nirvana also tried to breathe steadily.

Zhang Hanhai shook his head and said, "Today's game can be regarded as a pleasure!" He took another breath and said, "This round, if I can't subdue you anymore, I will have to admit defeat!"

Dugu Ni looked at Zhang Hanhai and said, "As long as you don't deliberately admit defeat, it's not an insult to me!"

"I can't win you anymore! Stinky boy, it's too difficult! This time, I'm going to make you unable to escape!" Zhang Hanhai also looked quite helpless.

Dugu Nie's face was solemn, his breathing stabilized like this, and he said, "Are you going to show your real skills?"

Zhang Hanhai smiled, exhaled, and said, "As long as you don't say anything to insult you, it's fine!"

Dugu Nirvana also smiled and said, "Okay, come on!"

Zhang Hanhai looked at Dugu Ni, rushed forward, and shouted: "This heart is uprooting!"

At this moment, Dugu Ni actually recalled the first time she had a conversation with Zhang Hanhai, and was she reminding herself?

Retracting his mind, he saw that the wolf red cork sword in Zhang Hanhai's hand turned into a majestic sword shadow that was more than two feet long, and swept far away towards Dugu Nie's waist, the speed of this sword was far faster than the fastest speed that Dugu Nirvana had ever seen Zhang Hanhai use!

It's too late to retreat, this sword is not only fast, but also has a huge range, the light sword shadow is two zhang long, if there is still a sword qi released, I am afraid that it is seven or eight zhang away. Zhang Hanhai, this is going to be done in one battle!

Hard-wired, that's even more impossible. Therefore, Dugu Nirvana only has two choices, either jump up and dodge, or use an iron plate bridge to dodge by flipping back. Dugu Ni chose the former, although people lost some flexibility in the air, as long as Zhang Hanhai was old with this move, he could still use "Four Seas Dry" to cut off his momentum before Zhang Hanhai's next move was used!

When Dugu Nirvana jumped up, it seemed that his eyes were spent, and at this moment, another phantom appeared behind Zhang Hanhai, which was exactly what Zhang Hanhai looked like, and it did not overlap with Zhang Hanhai. And that phantom shadow followed Zhang Hanhai's sword closely, and used the same trick "This heart is lingering", and the sword shadow swept towards Dugu Nirvana, who was in the air.

It's not an illusion!

How is that possible?

I didn't have time to think about it, Dugu Nie only hated how he was like flying in the air at this moment, and he couldn't fall to the ground for a long time! The next moment, this second sword shadow had swept to about four feet on Dugu Nie's right shoulder. Dugu Nie had no choice but to attach some internal strength to the black python pattern wooden stick as much as possible, and chose to resist hard.

The moment the sword shadow swept in front of Dugu Nien's black python pattern wooden stick, Dugu Nirvana disappeared.

disappeared at the same time, as well as the phantom behind Zhang Hanhai.

Dugu Nie looked at Zhang Hanhai in the distance in shock, and then looked at himself, he was already in the arms of the invigilator Luo Lao, away from the sword shadow.

Unscathed, but this also means that in Luo Lao's opinion, the sword just now, Dugu Nirvana will be seriously injured. Therefore, Luo Lao chose to intervene in the game, and also announced: Dugu Nirvana, defeated!

The cheers made Dugu Ni wake up from the huge shock, and Zhang Hanhai had a tired but warm smile on his face.

Luo Lao put down Dugu Nirvana and announced the results of this competition. Dugu Ni walked towards Zhang Hanhai, suddenly relaxed, and said with a smile: "I lost, I am convinced." ”

Zhang Hanhai smiled and said, "Aren't you satisfied?"

Dugu Nie naturally knew what he was talking about, and said with a smile: "Satisfied!"

After saying this, Dugu Nirvana closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly spit it out. Zhang Hanhai looked strange and asked, "What are you doing?"

Dugu Ni opened his eyes, laughed and said, "Thank you, haha!" turned around and left.

Countless students around him were cheering and rushing towards Zhang Hanhai.
