More and more people passed through the canyons and wilderness and came to this vast white ice field.
Just like the legendary Holy Son who opened the sky with a hairpin, the dividing line between the ice field and the wilderness is so eye-catching and clear. Black and white collide in the sight, and the endless snow color has an unparalleled visual impact. , and the footprints on the snow are so inconspicuous, yet dazzling.
There are more and more footprints on the snowfield.
The flag was inserted into the thick snow and trembled in the oncoming cold wind. The world seemed to have experienced a gap. The grassland that was still steaming with heat just now turned to frost in the blink of an eye.
People trampled through the snow with awe of the unknown.
After an unknown amount of time, the black land behind them could no longer be seen, and the snowfield was not truly dead. During their long journey, they also saw some creatures in the ice and snow, including pupae with snow armor as shells, and others in the ice and snow. Centipedes walking through the ice and snow, and some fish with simple limbs, burrowed through the snow as if they were swimming through sea water.
And further away, the far-reaching roar of the giant beast came over.
Xingyuan's originally scattered team also began to get closer. They formed a triangle, like a handleless flying knife and a hidden weapon, advancing forward, and the sound of the snow was heard in an orderly manner.
Soon after, they encountered the first raid.
It was a snow tiger with silvery gray spots. The snow tiger had a pair of extremely long fangs. Its soft flesh pads stepped on the snow, and it moved forward slowly. When it suddenly pounced, it looked like it was smashed by a piece of wood. The huge siege stone shattered the entire Xingyuan team.
The giant tiger in the snowfield is raging in the ice field. It is not like the ugly monsters in the canyon in the past. It has a strong body, with the beauty of strength, and its strong muscles are undulating like a tide.
Fortunately, Xingyuanzhong was a first-class master after all. After a brief panic, they formed a solid lineup. Their swords came out, some formed a defensive formation, and some stabbed the charging tiger. Bang Banging sounds were heard one after another, and the giant tiger's body was much stronger than they imagined. If it were to fight alone, no one here would be able to kill it.
Finally, the giant tiger was outnumbered and fled after being wounded, but no one in the abyss dared to advance. Soon after, they saw an even larger creature.
It was a group of snow elephants. They had extremely long hair and tusks. The tusks were like huge and curved white bone scythes. Their bodies were bulky, like towering hills. Even the thick ice surface was like There was a rumbling vibration.
"What the hell is this place?"
The appearance of the huge elephant herd subverted their imagination. They had never seen such a creature before. It was unbelievably huge. Even the largest spirit that appeared in the abyss of time was only half its size. They walked across the edge, Like a messenger guarding this place, everyone on the way stops and does not dare to move rashly.
No one dared to take action.
The giant elephant's skin was so rough and thick that they didn't even need to try to know that it couldn't be penetrated by swords and guns.
"Go back first." The person who was the first to plant the flag in the snowfield suggested: "First tell the people in the royal city everything that happened here."
"No, these monsters don't seem to attack people. We can try to get around them."
"It's still too dangerous..."
"Let's go like this. Let's move forward in groups. Those who are willing to go, follow my team, and those who are not willing, follow his team."
The people quickly divided into two rows, with only a young man kneeling in the center.
"What about you?" someone asked.
The young man held his head and said in pain: "I won't go... There is hell ahead, it must be hell. These things are the sacred pillars in front of the gate of hell."
…
…
Big red lanterns lit up in the imperial city.
On the deserted street, a shadow dressed in white suddenly appeared.
Ning Jiujiu slowly walked through the long street, the red light of the lanterns spread on his body, intertwining light and dark with his footsteps.
The streets were sparsely populated.
Ning Jiujiu walked into the palace unimpeded.
Perhaps because of Siming's prior arrangements, the palace doors were wide open today and there were no guards even.
Ning Changjiu walked through the long and quiet stone path under the palace gate and walked towards the deepest part of the palace.
In the deepest part of the palace, as Si Ming said, there is a huge diagram of the Yin and Yang diagram of the Eight Trigrams. Each of the sixty-four diagrams has its own meaning, including heaven and earth, wind and thunder, water, volcanoes and swamps. The whole picture is represented by the four diagrams of the Eight Diagrams. The images are used as the basis, and are evolved over and over again to form this dense and mysterious mural. The center of the Bagua formation is also an equally complex star map.
Ning glanced at the scroll for a long time, took out the prismatic white jade feldspar, and filled in a vacant line.
The formation chart is complete.
The scroll of stars is like a bright eye, staring at Ning for a long time.
Then, an illusory door opened.
Ning Jiujiu did not hesitate and stepped directly into the palace gate.
boom!
The world is turning.
After Ning Jiujiu put his feet firmly on the ground, he raised his head and looked around, finding that he was already in a completely dark world.
This darkness lasted very briefly.
One after another, the crystal lights were like sparks rising in the dark night. They appeared one after another, illuminating the entire hall.
This is a crystal clear hall.
The floor tiles seem to be paved with glazed tiles, almost completely transparent, and there are traces of running water underneath. Stepping on them makes you feel like you are walking on empty space. The upper level of the hall is a deep dome, and the dome's In the center, there is a huge blue-white, ethereal lotus. The light on the lotus falls like feathers. As Ning Changjiu moves, the lights also fall on his shoulders piece by piece.
He was walking on a long and narrow road. After the light illuminated both sides, he could clearly see the water. There were no candles displayed in the pool, but the candlelight was reflected under the water.
It was like they were burning in the water.
Ning Changjiu walked forward along the main hall.
At the end of the hall is a huge sundial.
That sundial has gone through a long period of time and is broken into pieces. It is more like a regular regular script in handsome cursive script and looks out of place in this crystal clear palace.
There was a faint light on the sundial.
In the center of it, the long sundial needle is intact. It is inserted on the stone dial. On the long sundial needle, there is also a woman with silver hair hanging down. She is sitting on her side, wearing a black dress. She was wearing a long skirt and her bare feet were covered with snow. In front of her soft and smooth arches, her toes were like tiny pearls strung together.
Her legs were swaying gently, like water, and her eyes fell on the broken sundial, and her graceful silhouette was reflected on it.
The sundial was half broken, and now it looked like a crescent moon, and she was a fairy sitting quietly in the moon palace.
The woman stretched her body lazily, then held the slender dial needles in both arms, turned her head slightly, and looked at Ning Changjiu.
She is Si Ming.
Ning Jiuyao looked at her calmly.
"You don't seem surprised at all?" Siming said with a smile.
Ning didn't speak for a long time.
Siming sneered, "That's right. How could I possibly deceive a smart person like you?"
Ning Jiujiu said: "Why do you pretend to be a maid?"
Siming said: "That night on the street, I subdued you and used three moves. This was a bit embarrassing after all, so I had to make up an excuse and call myself a maid to save some face."
Ning Jiujiu hummed and said nothing.
Siming looked at him, smiling at Yueying, and said, "I'm very happy that you can come today. Hmm? Have you brought anything?"
Ning Jiujiu asked: "What?"
Siming covered his lips and smiled and said: "I thought he was a wanderer, but I didn't expect him to be so honest. Originally, my sister is happy today, so she wouldn't mind playing with you, but it's a pity that you don't have the courage."
I would rather turn a deaf ear to it for a long time.
Siming said: "Come closer and let me see your face."
Ning stayed on the glazed road on the water for a long time, refusing to move forward. He just stared at Siming silently and said, "What on earth do you want to do when you come to me?"
Siming said: "The reason why I see you is very simple, because you are not a spirit, but a person. You are the first person to come out of the abyss of time in more than seven hundred years, so I really want to know what you have." What secret allows you to ignore the erosion of the law of time? Shiyuan is a place that even I cannot enter without permission."
Ning didn't answer for a long time, just looked at her quietly with his hands behind his back.
Siming said: "Although I still don't know what your secret is in getting rid of Shi Yuan, I have found something more interesting in you."
Ning Jiujiu asked: "What?"
Siming raised the corners of his lips and said, "Golden Crow."
"Um?"
"Don't you still know what that is? Siming asked back.
Seeing that Ning didn't answer for a long time, she said softly: "That is one of the initial divine objects built in this world, although I don't know which one of the ten sons it corresponds to, or it may even be the true body of the divine Lord Xihe. Suohua... So, what kind of identity do you have who can possess such divine objects that were born when the world was created?"
Ning Jiujiu said: "I don't know."
Siming laughed, her branches trembling with laughter, and she said: "It turns out that you have really forgotten everything... When you died, I was still a little adjutant of the Star Spirit Palace. I never thought that we could still be together now. See you there, come with me, I am willing to take you to our kingdom of God and make you the true king of the kingdom that transcends all."
Ning Changjiu said dullly: "I won't go."
Siming's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a smile bloomed like a snow lotus on her cold and unparalleled cheeks.
"Look at this sundial, from Mao hour to You hour... all the hours in the day are shattered." Siming said: "My world has no sun, and I have been waiting for your arrival for more than seven hundred years. Years. You are my sun.”
Ning Jiujiu said: "You want to kill me?"
Siming looked at him quietly and said: "You will not die, you will become a real god. When the time comes, I will always accompany you and live forever in the palace of the Kingdom of God."
Ning Jiujiu said: "You lied to me."
Siming touched the ground with his bare feet, and his body fell gently from the sundial. When his toes touched the ground, there was a sound like a clear spring.
She said: "I know, in fact, you have already seen the night. Before the Kingdom of God collapsed, we were the existences under one person in the Kingdom of God. He was the king of heaven and I was the priest. Now that the king of the country is dead, we are still alive. So far, all you have been waiting for is an opportunity, and the moment you step into the city gate, you can’t leave.”
Ning stood quietly for a long time.
Siming walked towards him slowly.
The hall was full of killing intent.
More than 700 years ago, before the Kingdom of God collapsed, she and Tianjun were both in the Kingdom of God, living in the legendary three realms, second only to the Lord of the Kingdom.
But now that the world is in ruins and everything is gone, she has fallen here, restricted by the rules here, and can't even enter the Ziting.
What torture this is.
She has been waiting here bitterly, waiting for Tianjun to die and then devour him, or waiting for a miracle to come from the abyss of time.
Now she is almost waiting for it.
Everything she had done before was to trick Ning Changjiu into this Star Spirit Palace.
If a weasel sends an invitation to a chicken, the chicken will definitely not believe it. But after a few months of hard work, the chicken may feel that it can't defeat the weasel anyway. Since it is willing to show kindness to itself, why not How about simply accepting the other party's solicitation
What's more, such a stunningly beautiful lady
The Xingling Palace is a well-prepared, long-lasting prison.
Today, she can get everything that Ning Changjiu has, seize the golden crow, soak it in the liquid of time, dissolve it into a real sunbeam, then repair the broken corona in this divine kingdom, and fly back to the kingdom above. .
Seven hundred years of waiting...
She raised her hand, and all the light in the darkness rushed over, making everything look lonely.
It's just that Ning Jiuchu has clearly become a caged beast at this moment, so why does he still not react at all
Si Ming thought he was pretending to be calm and smiled softly, saying, "Actually, I still want to know. When you came here, did you think I wouldn't touch you, or did you really get attached to my face?"
Ning Changjiu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke. He seemed to have lost his spirituality, and his voice was so mechanical: "I don't want to be your day, I want to be..."
His last word froze.
Siming's originally cold face was replaced by demonic fear and anger.
boom!
In the surrounding light spots, Ning Changjiu's voice suddenly exploded into pieces.
On the ground, a scroll burned quietly. On the scroll, there was a boy in white.
He is actually a painter.
"Fake?"
Siming stared intently at the scroll, her eyes blazing, her long silver-white hair dancing wildly, and the thickened silver threads on her dark robe glowing densely.
She walked to the scroll, picked up the black sword that was pressed on the scroll, and said coldly:
"You think you can escape?"
…
…
An hour ago.
"Boss, I'm going to take a shower and change clothes."
When night fell, Shao Xiaoli turned around and went back to her room. She didn't understand why her boss suddenly asked her to take a shower. Anyway, relying on the experience taught by her mother in her memory, she must have done something bad by urging her to take a shower at night.
She dug out her mother's old clothes from the cupboard. Those clothes were well preserved, without wrinkles and as bright as new.
Hot water was poured into the wooden bucket in the bathroom, and white mist rose.
Shao Xiaoli slowly took off his clothes, took off the extremely tight chest wrap, raised his toes, and slowly fell into the steaming pool water.
It had been a long time since she had taken such a relaxing bath.
Snow-white moisture splashed onto her face, turning her face red as if she was drunk, and her hair was also covered with water drops, making it wet.
The girl leaned against the wall of the barrel, her whole body almost sinking into the water. She looked at her undulating figure through the water, and suddenly she remembered that she was already seventeen years old this year... This was already a marriage negotiation. Let’s talk about the age of marriage.
Most of Shao Xiaoli's body was soaked in the bucket, and his long hair was completely submerged and spread out like algae.
After a while, Ning Changjiu's urging voice sounded outside the door.
Shao Xiaoli reluctantly pulled herself out of the warm water, dried herself, took the breast wrap, hesitated for a while, then gently put it aside, then she put on her mother's beautiful clothes and came alone In front of the mirror, I started to draw my eyebrows and do my makeup.
Ning stood outside the door for a long time, waiting for her patiently.
Shao Xiaoli rolled out the curtain.
She wore an elegant lining, a red double-breasted jacket, and an elegant red skirt. Her embroidered shoes poked out from under the skirt, revealing a small tip embroidered with pear blossoms. Her long hair was not What to modify, just tie it with a red rope at the end, and the tail will hang down lightly with the red rope of thin hair.
Ning Jiujiu looked at her and was stunned. He had the feeling that an emperor was searching the world for beauties, but he never thought that the little girl in the courtyard who spent time with him day and night had slipped through the net.
"You look beautiful today." Ning Jiujiu praised him without hesitation.
After a few months, this was the first time Shao Xiaoli dressed up carefully. She vaguely felt that something big was going to happen tonight, so she wanted to show her best side.
Shao Xiaoli said: "Boss, where are we going?"
Ning Changjiu said: "Leave the city."
"Leave the city?" Shao Xiaoli was slightly shocked and said, "Didn't I accompany you to see Sister Si Ming?"
Ning Jiujiu said: "We will see you in the future, don't be anxious for a while."
"Oh..." Shao Xiaoli thought that the boss had his own reasons, so he asked: "Do I need to bring any luggage?"
Ning Jiujiu said: "Go and call the red-headed rooster, there is no need for anything else."
Shao Xiaoli picked up Mr. Xueyu and told him, "We are leaving the city. You must not drag the boss down."
Mr. Xueyu rolled his eyes and said, "I don't need a little girl like you to worry about."
Before leaving, Shao Xiaoli glanced at his waist with sharp eyes and asked: "Boss, where is your black sword?"
Ning Changjiu said: "This broken sword is easier to use."
Shao Xiaoli asked: "Are we going to kill someone?"
Ning Jiujiu sighed and said, "I hope I was wrong."
The courtyard door is closed.
Lord Xueyu soared into the night sky and followed them from a distance, while they put on black cloaks and left the Broken Boundary City silently.
"Boss, where are we going?" Shao Xiaoli asked.
Ning Jiujiu said: "Go to a place where others can't find us."
Shao Xiaoli asked: "We...are we going to live in seclusion?"
Ning Jiujiu said: "The temporary escape is just to come back, just like a god."
As Shao Xiaoli listened, he felt that the boss was becoming more and more bluffing.
They walked out of the city gate and walked towards the endless road. Shao Xiaoli thought this scene was very handsome, like a couple of gods riding horses and riding whips alone in the world. Everyone could see their lonely but not lonely backs.
"Boss." Shao Xiaoli suddenly said: "Did you cure my disease?"
Ning didn't answer for a long time.
Shao Xiaoli said: "When I was a child, my body always had chills. It is said that this is the curse of Duanjie City. Legend has it that every few years, Duanjie City will cast a spell and select the most beautiful girl to bear the responsibility of the city. Sin.”
Ning Jiujiu said: "Innocent people don't need to bear these."
Shao Xiaoli said: "Thank you, boss... but I don't like to wear it at night..."
"I didn't see anything." Ning Jiujiu said casually.
Shao Xiaoli raised his head and suddenly said: "Actually, the boss is not a god, right?"
Ning Jiujiu was slightly stunned, unable to understand how she could have thought of this with her wisdom.
Shao Xiaoli said: "Boss, you are actually a real god, right?"
"..." Ning sighed for a long time and said helplessly: "I'm just an ordinary cultivator."
Shao Xiaoli didn't believe it at all and said: "Actually, there is a legend in our book. That legend is older than Broken Boundary City. It is said that two or three thousand years ago, there was a real warrior in our clan. That warrior was named after The bow and arrow killed the demon and created a unique method of spiritual cultivation. However, later, the warrior was plotted and killed by a more powerful demon. But before he died, he said that in our clan, one person will appear every hundred years. warrior!"
Shao Xiaoli said, his words becoming more and more passionate: "I think his prediction is true, because every one hundred years, warriors will really appear in the tribe. Every time our tribe is on the verge of extinction, we can survive. So no matter how difficult it is, we have survived until today. Now it’s another hundred years, boss, if the prophecy is true and there is a hero born in this generation, I think that person must be you.”
Ning looked at her for a long time and suddenly felt a little strange. He smiled slightly.
Shao Xiaoli also smiled lightly, with a noble look on his brows with light makeup.
She looked at Ning Changjiu's young face and suddenly asked, "Boss, you must have lived for a long time, right? How old are you this year?"
Ning Changjiu said truthfully: "Sixteen years old."
Shao Xiaoli just thought he was pretending to be young and said with a smile: "Then I am still three years old this year."
Ning Jiujiu smiled.
Shao Xiaoli had a lot of questions today: "Why does the boss always like to wear white clothes?"
Ning Jiujiu gave her an unexpected answer: "Because it's easy to draw."
But no matter how simple it was, the painting he used to deceive Siming took him two months of work on and off.
Along the way, the two chatted every sentence.
"Boss, what is your ideal wife like?"
"Boss, do you like that sister named Siming?"
"Boss, if one day we leave here, where should we go?"
"Boss, what's on the other side of the ice field?"
Ning Jiujiu didn't want to answer the previous question, and Ning Jiujiu knew the last question, but didn't really want to answer it.
One night, he once set foot on the ice field and walked over.
Ning Jiujiu asked: "What do you think it should be like there?"
Shao Xiaoli replied: "I think there should be a way to the outside world there. As long as we cross that ice field, many secrets of the Broken Boundary City should be answered."
Ning Chang sighed vaguely.
He said, "Let me tell you a story."
Shao Xiaoli came to his senses and nodded immediately.
Ning Jiujiu said: "In this world, there is a high wall. The people on the left side of the wall live a purgatory-like life every day. They are plagued by hunger and plague, and cannot live in peace day and night. There is a legend among them that As long as you climb over this wall, you can go to heaven, but the wall is too high. Most of the people who climbed the wall died, and only the bones left under the wall were piled high."
There was a pause in his words.
Shao Xiaoli thought, isn't this the hundred-year history of Duanjie City
She looked resolutely and said: "Then keep piling up the bones with white bones. One day, our bones will be piled high and placed under our feet so that we can climb over."
Ning Jiujiu smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Do you know what is the saddest thing?"
"What?"
"The people on the left side of the wall will never know that on the right side of the wall, the dead bodies are higher than those on the left side..." Ning Jiujiu sighed: "This world is not bipolar. If there is hell, there will be heaven. It is more likely that there will be heaven on both sides." It’s hell… This is the most desperate thing.”
This was the first thought that flashed through his mind when he crossed the ice field and saw the scene there.
Soon, there will be people in Xingyuan who will wade through the ice field, see the scene of numerous bones, and then fall into deep despair.
Shao Xiaoli also fell silent.
After a long time, she spoke: "Then how can we get out?"
Ning Jiujiu shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
The night also became silent.
Climbing one mountain after another, walking through countless canyons and rivers, there is still no end in sight.
At some point, snow came over.
Ning Jiujiu took her to the entrance of the snow gorge.
He knew that there was always a game going on inside and outside Broken Boundary City.
It was a chess game between a fallen heavenly king and a priest in a certain divine kingdom in the past. This game had lasted for more than seven hundred years, and the many records of battles outside the city that he had seen in ancient books might have been left behind by them. .
They are all going to devour each other.
And Ning Jiujiu needs to choose a side.
He finally decided to choose the night festival.
And in his consciousness, the spiritual light of the painted man was erased, which further proved his judgment.
He had never trusted Si Ming.
"Let's go." Ning Changjiu led Shao Xiaoli towards the snowy valley.
But he still underestimated Si Ming.
The road into the Snow Valley is a long, deep gorge, which seems to have been cut with a knife. The two walls are as smooth as jade, but very narrow.
Ningjiu walked into the snowy gorge for a long time.
The cold temperature in the snow valley hit my face.
He stopped.
At the other end of the snow gorge, a shadow stood.
The dancing black skirt is like a hunting flag in a blizzard.
That's Si Ming.
"You will come here as expected." Siming turned against the light, and the smile on his face was hidden in the darkness.
We meet on a narrow road.
…
…
"Why did you lie to me?" Si Ming asked preemptively.
Beautiful women are indeed unreasonable.
Ning Jiujiu thought silently and took out the pitifully broken Ming Lan.
Si Ming looked at his broken sword, as if he had some enlightenment, and said, "It's broken like this and you still keep it. Could it be that this is the sword your wife gave you?"
Ning Jiujiu thought that it was impossible for Lu Yuanjian to hear it, so he said directly: "Yes."
Siming smiled and said, "Is your wife as beautiful as me?"
Ning Changjiu said: "You once said, how can fireflies compete with the bright moon? The fireflies like you lingering here must have not seen the moon for seven hundred years, right?"
Si Ming was not annoyed, but laughed and said, "Are you really not afraid that I will kill you?"
Ning Jiujiu said: "If you wanted to kill me, you wouldn't have talked nonsense with me for so long."
Siming asked: "Have you thought of a way to break my time cage?"
Ning Jiujiu nodded and said, "I thought of it."
Siming looked into his eyes for a long time. She smiled faintly and said, "You guessed it right. Time Cage is like a game of chess. There are only two sides playing, and it cannot affect the people next to you. So you spent three I have spent months training this little girl, just because I hope to lend her hand to help you out, right?"
Ning Jiujiu said: "Not entirely right."
When Shao Xiaoli listened, he didn't feel at all that he was being used by his boss. Instead, he was surprised to think that he was so useful.
Siming smiled and said: "I did want to kill you originally, but now I have changed my mind. Follow me back to the city, I am willing to marry you. From now on, we will cultivate together and reach the heaven together, just like the gods in ancient times. In that case, the world at that time was even more turbid than it is now, and they could cut through the chaos and open the sky with a single stroke, why can't we?"
Ning Jiujiu said: "Why should I believe you?"
Siming smiled and said: "Because Ye Zhu is not a good choice. You see, now that I am outside the Xuexia Gorge, he still dare not come to see me. He has been deceiving those ignorant ascetics in exchange for some time these years. Authority is just pieced together like this. I don’t know how many years it will take to piece it together completely. He can’t save you at all.”
Ning Jiujiu asked: "Then what is your method of piecing together authority?"
Siming did not answer directly, but said: "You are from the Abyss of Time. You should have seen that painting, right?"
"Headless God?" Ning asked for a long time.
Siming smiled and nodded: "Shi Yuan is his head."
Ning Jiujiu frowned, thinking of the honeycombs extending in all directions and the gray-white thick slurry inside, and felt a chill in his heart.
Ning Jiujiu asked: "Is he the Lord of the Kingdom of God?"
Siming nodded and said, "Yes."
Ning Jiujiu frowned: "One of the twelve kings?"
"yes."
"How is this possible?" Ning Jiujiu said in shock.
"Yes." Siming smiled indifferently: "Even after so many years, I still can't accept his death."
"Which king is he and who killed him?" Ning Jiujiu asked.
Siming shook his head and said: "This is a secret. I will tell you after we become a married couple."
Ning Jiujiu shook his head and said, "How should I trust you?"
Siming moved his hands back, crossed his swan-like neck, and gathered his silky silver hair.
Then she lifted her hands down, and the black silk belt tightened her spine and the bulge of her lower body. She stretched her fingers to her lower waist, gently opened the silk that bound her slender waist, and said : "At this moment, the sky is beautiful and the earth is beautiful. We can emulate what the Emperor and the Holy Son did back then. What do you think, Young Master?"
…
…
At this moment, the royal city was empty.
Su Yanshu sat by the window sill, looking at the deep night. The most respected man in the entire royal city and the most powerful swordsman among the younger generation all loved her deeply, but she never really smiled, and her face was always stained. A touch of sadness.
"Ghosts never grow old with people, don't you understand?" Su Yanshu sighed softly.
