On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the bright moon is in the sky, the clear light is thousands of miles, in the deep sky, under the bright moon, the lights on the sky roaring treasure ship are bright, like a red meteor cutting through the long sky.

During the banquet in the Tianroar Treasure Ship, Ling Ye was already full, and he looked at the performance on the stage slightly, and after a while, he felt that it was not much fun, but he smiled from time to time. Then he found an excuse to leave the table, and Nan Nan asked Nan Yuer to watch the dot on her behalf.

After quickly leaving the banquet court, he immediately went to the deck, which was brightly lit, but no one was playing on it, and it was much more deserted.

Midnight walked to the stern of the boat, looking towards the southern sky, the season is like a stream, the years are not lived, and in a blink of an eye it is Chinese New Year's Eve.

Standing at the stern of the boat, leaning on the railing, looking down on the earth, some villages on the ground gathered faintly emitting orange light, and in a large city, the light is still flourishing, and from time to time there are colorful fireworks in the air to shine dazzlingly, extremely beautiful.

"I'll just say, Brother Ling Ye must be on deck. Nan Yu'er came out of the cabin with Nannan. After some mental probing, he found Ling Ye leaning on the stern of the boat.

Lan Xiuxiu smiled, followed out of the cabin, and stepped onto the deck.

Ling Ye looked back, and Nan Nan ran quickly and stepped forward to greet Nan Nan. Then he said: "It's too noisy down there, so come up and be quiet!"

"It's the same with us, the banquet is not much to see, there are no games to play, boring. Nan Yuer said: "Now the palace must be very lively, brother, every year my father will let some talented people perform some mysterious programs." ”

Lan Xiuxiu walked out of this railing, looked into the distance, and said with a slight smile: "It seems that Brother Ling Ye is homesick, otherwise why would he come to the stern." ”

Ling Ye picked her up, and then said with a smile: "It's useless to think about it, and you can't go back immediately, just look at the scenery." ”

Nan Yu'er also leaned on the railing, looked at the beautiful scenery of the fireworks below, and then said: "I don't want to go home, as soon as I go back, my father asks if he has a favorite son, and he is busy marrying me off." Now another year has passed, and I am a year older, and it is estimated that I will have a headache after seeing my father, queen and mother. After finishing speaking, he secretly meowed at Ling Ye in front of his eyes.

Lan Xiuxiu smiled, "That's also for your good, you hurry up and find a wishful marriage, otherwise your father will marry you to Tianqin that day, see what else you choose." ”

"Bah, Sister Xiuxiu, don't curse me badly. Nan Yu'er hurriedly said: "I'm only married so far, besides, I'm leaving, who will go to your house to relieve you in the future." I think it's still Sister Xiuxiu who hurriedly found someone to marry, I think my third brother is good, how about Sister Xiuxiu. ”

Lan Xiuxiu chuckled after hearing this: "Sister, I won't marry into your royal family." I can't stand being followed by a bunch of people all day long. ”

Ling Ye listened to the two women discussing this issue in front of him, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly and cough lightly.

After Lan Xiuxiu heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "What is Ling Ye's younger brother avoiding, or he will be Xiao Yu'er's wishful husband! Anyway, Xiao Yu'er likes you so much." ”

"Sister Xiuxiu..."After hearing this, Nan Yu'er blushed and said shyly. Although Nan Yu'er is usually very arrogant and not serious, she still has a certain amount of restraint in front of Ling Ye, but now that Lan Xiuxiu said this, she didn't dare to look at Ling Ye's face for a while, and then turned her head to look at the ground below the treasure ship.

"Sister Lan, it's funny, Nan Nan is still here, let's talk about something else. Midnight pushed out the girl to relieve herself.

Lan Xiuxiu smiled: "Okay, don't talk about this, lest someone have a spring heart." Then he looked at the scene on the treasure boat and said: "Brother Ling Ye is talented, sister, I have a connection, if Brother Ling Ye can come out, sister, I will give you a New Year's gift!"

"Then what about me coming out, Sister Xiuxiu will not give it to me. Nan Yu'er turned to look at Lan Xiuxiu and said.

"I send it the same. Lan Xiuxiu said, and then looked at Ling Ye.

Ling Ye hugged Nan Nan and said humbly: "Then please Sister Lan to come out of Shanglian." ”

After listening to Ling Ye's words, Lan Xiuxiu took two steps to the side and said, "Tonight, the end of the year, the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the end of the year!"

After Shanglian finished speaking, Lan Xiuxiu looked at the two with a smile. After Nan Yu'er read the words in her mouth, she pondered for a moment and said with a smile If she really wants to speak, Lan Xiuxiu stopped, then took out a pen and paper and handed it to Nan Yu'er.

Nan Yuer took the pen and paper, pointed to a spiritual power in her left hand and submerged it into the paper, fixed the paper in the air, and then picked up the pen and wrote, "Lotus on the pond, lotus root in the water, lotus lotus lotus covering lotus root." ”

After Nanyu finished writing, she felt that it was still a little worse, and then she wrote again: "The tide rises in the depths of the moon, the tide falls at dusk, and the tide rises and falls. ”

Ling Ye was holding the girl and pacing for half a moment, and suddenly saw that the bright moon was round and unobscure, and he felt something, and then he wanted to write with a pen: "The moon is full in the sky, the moon is half a month in the world, and the moon is full and half a month." ”

After writing it, he handed it to Lan Xiuxiu and said, "Sister Lan, please take a look." ”

Lan Xiuxiu immediately took the paper with a smile and looked at it, silently flipped it in her heart, then looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said with a slight smile: "Sure enough, the sky is natural, and the moon is full and the moon is lacking." ”

Nan Yu'er took Ling Ye's paper over, and after reading it, she said, "Mine is not bad." ”

Lan Xiuxiu immediately smiled, "It's all good, sister, I don't make many comments." However, she already had the best choice in mind, and then after putting away a few pieces of paper, she waved her hand and put two more gift boxes in her hand.

"Come to Brother Lingye, Happy New Year, I hope that in the new year, Brother Lingye can lead the way in the academy. Lan Xiuxiu handed the long square ebony sunken wood gift box to Ling Ye.

Ling Ye took it with a smile, but he didn't rush to open it.

"Xiao Yu'er, this is for you. May the little princess reach a higher level on the way to Dan Road in the New Year. He handed the same slightly larger wooden box to Nan Yu'er and said with a smile.

"It turns out that my sister has been ready for a long time, so let's make the couplet just a façade. After Nan Yu'er took the wooden box, she didn't care about Lan Xiuxiu's presence, and directly opened it to see what it was.

When I opened it, I saw that it was a scroll, and then I unfolded the scroll, and inside was a picture of a Xuannu. After Nan Yu'er saw it, her face was overjoyed, and she said, "Xuannu Pure World Diagram is still the true work of the old guy who sat on Yunzi." Sister Lan, how did you get it? I begged the old guy for some time. He didn't give it to me, he was really angry with me. ”

Ling Ye saw the picture of the Xuannu on the side, and he didn't feel puzzled, there was nothing special, it was just that the woman in the painting was better-looking. Why is Nan Yuer so happy.

"The last time I accompanied the master to play chess with him, the master won his hand, so I asked the master to help him ask for a pair, which was specially prepared for you. Lan Xiuxiu said with a smile, and seeing Ling Ye's puzzled face, she immediately guessed that Ling Ye should not know the use of this thing, and then explained: "Brother Ling Ye, this painting can only be known by looking at it with your eyes closed, you try to close your eyes and look at it." ”

After Ling Ye listened, he looked at Nan Yu'er, Nan Yu'er immediately unfolded all the paintings and showed them to Ling Ye, Ling Ye closed his eyes, and then the wonderful picture of the Xuannu appeared in his mind, and the halo of the heavenly heart in his mind moved slightly, and after a while, Ling Ye opened his eyes and sighed: "It's really amazing, I didn't expect such a painting to have the wonderful use of washing the soul." ”

Ling Ye felt the purifying power of the Xuannu Pure World Diagram on the soul, although the effect could not be compared to his own Heavenly Heart Halo, but as far as ordinary monks were concerned, it was definitely priceless.

As an alchemist, Nan Yu'er has very high requirements for the soul, no wonder Nan Yu'er likes this Xuannu Pure World Diagram so much.

I couldn't help but think about what was in the box in my hand, and I also wanted to open it to see what it was. Lan Xiuxiu said with a smile: "Brother Ling Ye can open it if he wants, anyway, it's not the same to open early and late!"

Ling Ye hesitated slightly, and then opened it, it was also a scroll, but it looked yellowed, obviously not the Xuannu picture. Take out the reel and unfold it slowly.

"Be careful," Lan Xiuxiu reminded.

"Could this be the sword intent you obtained in the Hidden Sword Mountain last time?" Nan Yu'er said as she looked at the withered yellow scroll in Ling Ye's hand.

Ling Ye paused slightly, and slowly opened the scroll, and the word "sword" appeared in his eyes, and then his spirit was refreshed, and a violent sword intent that wanted to open the world appeared in his mind, and the invisible coercion suddenly suppressed Ling Ye's soul, and the heavenly heart halo in Ling Ye's mind emitted bursts of golden light to resist the coercion of this sword intent. After a few moments, Midnight came back to his senses and closed the scroll. He took a deep breath and said, "Sister Lan, the inferior object is too valuable, and Ling Ye is afraid of being uneasy." ”

Ling Ye handed the painting to Lan Xiuxiu. In Ling Ye's opinion, this painting is one level more expensive than the Xuannu picture, and he really deserves it.

"You just accept it, I have already felt this sword intent for a long time, and now it is useless to me, it doesn't hurt to send it to you, after all, this is my personal belongings. "The reason why Lan Xiuxiu sent the sword intent to Ling Ye was when she was in distress in Infernal Mountain, Ling Ye asked her not to play the piano, and he fought out to resist the pressure of Linghai. At that time, he only used a gun, and with Lan Xiuxiu's eyes, he naturally saw that Ling Ye's marksmanship at that time was not exquisite, and he could only be regarded as a topper. Then came the arrow in the middle of the night, and the timing was excellent. Therefore, Lan Xiuxiu felt that if Ling Ye used a sword, his future achievements would definitely be extraordinary. I happen to have a sword intent, so it doesn't hurt to send it to Midnight.

"Brother Ling Ye, you just accept it, this sword intent is a treasure for sword cultivation, except for I know that Sister Xiuxiu has this treasure, but no one else knows, you are so good to accept it, if you feel ashamed, in the future, Sister Lan Xiuxiu and I will be in trouble, then you will come forward to help us solve the difficulties." Nan Yuer said.

At that time, she was present when Lan Xiuxiu was looking for this thing, or she asked Lan Xiuxiu not to hand it over to the sect, and to leave it for practice and comprehension, after all, as soon as this thing was handed in, she basically had no chance to think about it. And nine times out of ten after handing it in, it was for those people she hated, so it was kept in Lan Xiuxiu so far.

"Brother Ling Ye, you're welcome, take it, sister, I have a lot of trouble in Dijing, maybe I really want you to help at that time, this is a thank you gift, rest assured, I won't force you to join our Lan family, or the Nantian Dao Sect." Lan Xiuxiu said. Then he walked towards the girl who was playing alone.

Ling Ye did not postpone it, put the scroll into the storage bag, and said solemnly: "If he is useful every day, Ling Ye will never postpone it." ”

"Okay, it's not for you to sell yourself, why are you so serious. Nan Yu'er said with a smile.

Lan Xiuxiu took out a blue bell bracelet and put it on Nannan, and said with a smile: "If someone bullies you in the future, you will shake this bell hard." ”

She smiled and nodded.

Then a few people chatted casually on the deck, and after some other things, suddenly a long whistle echoed in the heavens and the earth, and the airspace below the Sky Roar Treasure Ship was reflected by the fireworks that bloomed at the same time, and the sound of the fireworks could be faintly heard on the Sky Roar Treasure Ship.

The sound of this whistle is a sign that the new year has arrived. The cycle of all things is the beginning of the four seasons of spring flowers and autumn moon, summer rain and winter snow.

"Soon, the new year has begun, hurry up and make a wish. Nan Yudu ran to the side of the boat facing Haoyue in the sky, gathered his hands in front of him, closed his eyes, and silently thought about something in his heart.

Later, Lan Xiuxiu was the same, although Ling Ye didn't believe this, but he also took Nan Nan to the side to make a wish, and said in his heart: "If there is really a spirit, let me learn and succeed in art as soon as possible and return to Nanchuan." ”

In a moment, several people made a wish, looked at each other and smiled, and after half an hour, after the night was dark, several people went down to the deck and went back to their rooms.

After returning to the room in the middle of the night, after helping Nan Nan wash up, he let Nan Nan rest first, and after he was summoned out by the two Xiao Xuan, he entered the Sumeru realm.

Within the boundaries of Sumeru.

It was also night in the Sumeru realm, and the little fox nested alone at the head of the bed in the middle of the night. The large bowl of spiritual liquid at the door had been drunk by it, and Ling Ye quickly prepared a new bowl and placed it at the door, and then entered the small single room.

Ling Ye Pan was made in a single room, and after calming down for a while, he took out the sword intent scroll and slowly opened it for details.

Immediately, a sword intent rushed out of the scroll, like the momentum of thousands of troops, and the spirit of wanting to stop the waist and break the sky suddenly rose, and there was a faint trace of phoenix sound coming out, and the invisible sword intent pressure fell on Ling Ye's body, and suddenly Ling Ye only felt that there were 100,000 mountains pressing on him, and even his soul was not spared. The sword intent continued to wash over Ling Ye's soul.

Ling Ye didn't let the Tianxin halo come out to resist this this time, if it was blocked by the Tianxin halo, the effect of the sword intent would be reduced by several times, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Ling Ye constantly suffered the pressure of sword intent, and every extra second, the coercion night weighed one point. It seems to be endless, and it won't stop until it crushes Midnight.

Ling Ye's physical fitness and soul strength are far more comparable to others, and at this time, Ling Ye was already sweating profusely, and his originally straight body had begun to stiffen up.

After about a moment, Ling Ye's body suddenly swooped down, and he quickly closed his eyes and stopped looking at the two words on the scroll. After his eyes were closed, the sword intent pressure on his body disappeared, and the expressions on Ling Ye's face were relaxed one by one, and he panted: "It's a pity that I don't use a sword with a gun." Otherwise, this sword intent will definitely be of great help to me in kendo. ”

After resting for a while, I thought that now I have a good sword, a few swordsmanship, and this peerless sword intent, as if God wants me to use a sword. If you don't learn a little yourself, are you a little sorry for God's kindness?

After Ling Ye secretly thought about it in his heart, he immediately put the sword scroll aside, and took out a book of Xuan-level low-level swordsmanship - Nine Turns Sword Duel from the storage bag. After studying it carefully, he closed the book and unfolded the sword scroll again.

Three quarters of an hour later, Ling Ye put away the scroll, and said secretly in his heart: Sure enough, it is the treasure in the eyes of the sword cultivator, I don't know if it was left by that senior.

Looking at the sword this time, Ling Ye's heart felt different. Seeing that there was no payment in the notebook, I couldn't help but wonder.

After contemplating for half an hour, thinking that Lan Xiuxiu was even willing to give this kind of treasure to herself, it stands to reason that they had only known each other for two or three months, and this kind of treasure should not be given away so casually, Ling Ye had a slight doubt in his heart.

Ling Ye is not the kind of person who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but he feels a little unbelievable. Without too much speculation, Ling Ye looked at the swords in the corner, and thought of the smoke-containing soft sword that Lan Xiuxiu used last time, although it looked like it should be a third-order flying sword, but it couldn't compare to his own swords, anyway, it was a waste to pile up, and Lan Xiuxiu also took great care of him during this time, and quietly gave one to her, all as a thank you gift, it is not an exaggeration.

Ling Ye immediately got up and walked towards those swords, Ling Ye remembered that there was just an emerald blue Qingluan sword, which should be very suitable for Lan Xiuxiu to use. After taking out the sword, I looked at the carved pattern of a Qingluan bead on the scabbard, and the seven stars on it were inlaid with seven gems of different colors, which can be described as extremely gorgeous.

Then Ling Ye found a wooden box that could place the Qingluan sword, and put the sword away, if Lan Xiuxiu asked about the origin of the sword, she said that the force behind her gave it, as for what the force was, let her guess by herself, anyway, she made it up by herself. In addition, he also believes that with this period of time with Lan Xiuxiu, she has the ability to make the way of this sword clear.

As for Nan Yu'er, although Ling Ye also wanted to give her a sword, but considering that Nan Yu'er was a princess, she usually spoke directly, and after much consideration, she dispelled the idea of giving her a sword, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. In the future, I will have the opportunity to give her some other items as a thank you gift.

After a little trimming, Midnight went out of the Sumeru realm.

The real world

Xiao Xuan opened the entrance and exit of the Sumeru realm, and Ling Ye walked out with him.

"Xiao Xuan, can you go out and investigate room 009 to see if Sister Lan is alone in the room now? Ling Ye asked in his mind. If Lan Xiuxiu was alone in the room, he would use the sound transmission technique to let Lan Xiuxiu come out, and if he was with Nan Yu'er, he would give her the Qingluan Sword when he had time later.

"It's simple, no one who has reached the realm of transformation can see me, unless the soul is extremely strong to perceive my existence. Xiao Xuan then closed his eyes, Ling Ye only felt his soul move, and when Xiao Xuan opened his eyes for the second time, the picture he saw appeared in Ling Ye's mind.

"It's okay. Ling Ye said with his eyes closed.

"My brother and I are one, what's wrong with that. I'm going to check it out now. After Xiao Xuan finished speaking, he flashed into the ceiling.

Ling Ye closed his eyes and felt the picture that Xiao Xuan saw, which was much safer than his own soul out of his body to investigate, and it didn't cost his soul power at all.

After a while, Xiao Xuan flew into Lan Xiuxiu's room. When entering, I also encountered an invisible spiritual power barrier, this kind of barrier is the immortal cultivator, specially used to prevent others from peeping, it is an ordinary spiritual power knot, as long as there is a movement, the person who casts the spell will know. However, the barrier was too weak, Xiao Xuan completely ignored the barrier and quietly entered the room.

The furnishings in the room are simple, an embroidered bed, followed by a dressing table, and there are no other useless furnishings, maybe those furnishings that are not there have been removed by Lan Xiuxiu.

Xiao Xuan glanced around the room, but did not find Lan Xiuxiu's figure, and then looked at the location of the bathroom, just as he was about to enter. The bathroom door suddenly opened.

A woman with long hair and waist-length came out wrapped in a white bathrobe, her hair was still wet, and the woman was Lan Xiuxiu.

Lan Xiuxiu walked out of the bathroom, and went directly to the small balcony by the window, and used her spiritual power for a while, shaking her head slightly, and with a shock of spiritual power, a cloud of mist appeared on her hair, and the mist disappeared, and Lan Xiuxiu's long hair also became dry.

Xiao Xuan, who was suspended in the room, looked at Lan Xiuxiu, and asked Xiao Xuan to go back when Ling Ye saw Lan Xiuxiu come out, Xiao Xuan was not ashamed to go back, and flew to Lan Xiuxiu, a small hand pointed in the air, and said to Ling Ye: "Brother, don't you like Sister Lan very much." What are you shy about this time. ”

"Don't make trouble, come back quickly, be obedient, and don't look at indecent things. Ling Ye communicated with Xiao Xuan, in fact, Ling Ye could forcibly control Xiao Xuan, but Ling Ye didn't want to do this, after all, Xiao Xuan had his own independent intentions, and if he wanted to forcibly control Xiao Xuan, it might hurt Xiao Xuan's heart.

Lan Xiuxiu is now in the realm of the Eight Springs Vein Master, practicing the string killing technique, stroking the qin every day, and improving his soul power, but he still can't notice that Xiao Xuan is in front of him, pointing at his figure.

Lan Xiuxiu turned around after drying her hair, gathered all her hair on the front and back of her chest, slowly untied the bathrobe and faded off, and her smooth back began to appear in Xiao Xuan's eyes, reflecting in Ling Ye's mind.

Ling Ye, who was so distracted, forgot that he had just said that he was not respectful, and the wonderful figure made Ling Ye rise a nameless fire, but the nameless fire that Fang raised was extinguished in the next second, because through Xiao Xuan's eyes, Ling Ye saw that Lan Xiuxiu should have been like her appearance, with smooth and delicate fragrant shoulders and jade back, but Ling Ye saw a bruise on Lan Xiuxiu's back, starting from the pipa bone on the right shoulder and extending to the left waist, almost dividing the entire back into two parts: upper left and lower right.

After Ling Ye saw it, he couldn't stop crying, Ling Ye himself didn't know why she burst into tears, crying like a soul, making Ling Ye overwhelmed.

Lan Xiuxiu took out a large mirror and fixed it in the air with spiritual power, the mirror reflected Lan Xiuxiu's back, Lan Xiuxiu's expression was a little helpless, and her left hand gently stroked the bruises on her back, this bruises were only shown after she was six years old, when she first entered the immortal path, she only showed it after running her spiritual power, and at that time the bruises were not so long, and the color was not so exaggerated, but it was very light and thin, and I didn't care about it when I was a child. But since then, Lan Xiuxiu has not been served by people to bathe, and the clothes she wears will not have a style that leaks out of her back.

With the growth of time, Lan Xiuxiu grew up day by day, and the bruises on her back were getting bigger and bigger, and whenever she consumed her soul, the bruises on her back would faintly get through, and she secretly sought medical treatment but found nothing, until she accidentally saw a description called soul injury in a fragment of an unknown ancient book.

The description in the book is basically the same as the symptoms of bruises on his back, and the reason for this situation is that he was injured in his previous life, and the severity of the injury directly hit the soul, and the soul did not recover after being injured, so he entered the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, and some of these soul scars are difficult to recover from for thousands of years. The more the reincarnated person uses soul power, the more this soul injury will appear, and in serious cases, it can be life-threatening.

If you want to heal this kind of congenital soul injury, it takes extremely strong soul power to repair it, although she will enhance her soul power by stroking the qin every day, but his use of the string killing technique will also consume soul power, so she will not use it at all until the moment of crisis, and she has never done it with others.

After seeing Xiao Xuan in the room, his expression was also shocked, and he felt that Ling Ye's mood was unstable, and then returned to Ling Ye's side in a flash. Degree of literature
