Ning Jiujiu suppressed all his breath, and it was as quiet as a faint ray of morning light in the dark forest.
Lu Marion stood in front of the wooden figure, staring into the abyss as always. A large piece of morning fog passed in front of her eyes, showing a lotus color in the light, and gradually dissipated.
Ning Jiujiu stretched out his hand, gently picked up two leaves, folded them into a butterfly, and flew towards Lu Marry's back.
He was hiding behind a big tree.
"who?"
Soon, a shadow flashed across the center of Lu Yuanhou's sword. She withdrew her gaze from the abyss, turned around suddenly, and a snow-white sword energy traced straight across the ground following her gaze.
The forest and the thatched cottage were cut off by this line of sword energy, and the butterflies made of dead leaves were blocked outside.
Lu Marry stared at the two dead butterflies, her eyes shining like lightning into the dim woods behind them, searching for people. She was wary and said coldly: "Who is it? Anyone who crosses this line will die."
So the dead leaf butterfly stopped outside the line, and then it actually spoke like a human being, but the voice sounded extremely dry.
"I am a messenger sent by the Kingdom of God to the human world. I can help you realize any wish you wish." The withered leaf butterfly said, "As long as you answer my three questions honestly."
Lu Marion raised her eyebrows slightly, wondering if the evil spirit in the Southern Wilderness hadn't been defeated by him yet, so he still used such stupid and clumsy methods
Her snow-white sleeves covered the ancient sword worn on her left waist, and the delicate fingers between her sleeves were already holding the hilt of the sword.
The withered leaf butterfly seemed to show sincerity, and even stepped back a little, and continued: "After three questions, the wish will be realized. If any one is dishonest, the wish will be invalid."
Lu Marian didn't want to talk nonsense and was about to kill him with her sword, but a flash of luck flashed in her heart.
It is a fantasy that the Lord of God sends a messenger to the world, and three questions can make your wish come true. But just in case…
Lu Marian immediately gave up this idea. She believed in opportunities, but she also knew that opportunities were earned, not delivered to her door. What's more, everyone knew that she was waiting for someone, and what this Dead Leaf Butterfly said Only fools will be fooled if the intention is too obvious...
"Just ask." Lu Married thought that although she was disgusted, she still spoke calmly.
Her transparent sword heart turned into an invisible line, denser and sharper than the thousands of morning lights, refracted into a sword prison that was difficult to enter.
The Dead Leaf Butterfly flapped its wings and said, "The first question is, is the person you are waiting for the one you love?"
Lu Marion originally wanted to blurt out no, but she thought that such questions were actually irrelevant and there was no need to deceive herself, so she nodded lightly and said, "Yes."
After she answered this question, she immediately explored the sea of knowledge to see if there was any invasion of other consciousnesses. After all, in folklore stories, there is a legend that if you answer a ghost's question in a dream, you will be pulled into the underworld by the ghost.
But she found nothing.
Maybe someone in the Four Peaks was teasing me
Lu Marry's eyes were slightly fierce, wondering who could be so careless about life and death.
Dead Leaf Butterfly was silent for a while and said: "The first answer is approved. The second question is: Do you want the person you are waiting for to become your husband?"
"Um?"
After this question came out, Lu Marian knew clearly that someone was trying to make fun of her.
If these few questions can invade her consciousness through her sword formation, then the other party is at least a master of the five peaks. It doesn't matter whether there are questions or not.
She didn't want to pay attention to it at first. After all, she knew without thinking that the discussions about her had never stopped in the past few years, whether in Sifeng or elsewhere. She couldn't hear it and didn't care. It was just that discussions were just discussions after all. Now this issue** With the naked ground in front of her, she didn't know how to face it.
So Xiaoling left a month ago. Who else dares to be so desperate in front of him
"Who sent you here?" Lu Married asked instead without answering.
Dead Leaf Butterfly said calmly: "The person who sent me here is the supreme god, the supreme being who sits in the human world. This abyss is her domain. You have been sitting here for more than two years, and you have gained the mercy of the god."
Still want to bluff people...
Lu Marian was even more angry. The morning wind and cold mist passed by her eyes, and the white clouds were like flowing clouds. Light and dark intertwined on her sword and clothes as the clouds flowed.
The sword intent in her body became stronger, as if she wanted to see through the butterfly and find out the mastermind behind it.
"Master of God? Bai Zang?" Lu Marian continued to ask while contemplating her sword intention.
Tishan has passed quietly, the Godless Month has ended not long ago, and the year belonging to Bai Zang has arrived.
Dead Leaf Butterfly said: "You can't call God directly... You still have three breaths to answer the question. If you don't answer, your wish will be invalid."
Lu Marry took a deep breath and regarded this as a test to face her heart.
"Hope." Lu Jieyou said.
"I hope to be the wife of the one who is waiting." Dead Leaf Butterfly repeated it as if to confirm. After a moment, he said: "The answer is approved."
For some reason, when Lu Marry heard the answer passed a few words, she felt faintly relieved.
She didn't know that behind a big tree, Ning Changjiu, who wrapped himself in the law of time and took away all his breath, could not help but curl up the corners of his mouth. He wanted to show up immediately, but more than two years of separation had already passed. , he did not lack the forbearance for this moment.
After all, the last question is directly related to his actual status in front of Lu Marion in the future.
Dead Leaf Butterfly said: "The last question is, deep in your heart, is the person you are waiting for, a disciple or a master."
"?" Lu Marian was completely stunned, wondering if there were other answers to this question
Lu Marian said: "Of course he is my apprentice."
"..." Ning was silent for a long time and activated the power of time.
Time went back to before Lu Marion answered the question.
"Lord God lowers the curtain and is willing to give you a chance to make a new choice." Withered Leaf Butterfly said solemnly, as if what it said was really an order from the gods.
Lu Marian did not smile because she felt that time was really flowing back!
She didn't know if this was an illusion. She glanced around, looking for clues, but her heart was slightly confused. Such power about the origin of the world should have existed in the authority of the ancient gods...
She felt a little frightened, and her eyes changed when she looked at the withered leaf butterfly again.
If it was really sent by the Lord of God, then he might have missed out on such incredible secrets after he answered wrongly.
I would rather believe that it has…
But why is my answer wrong
Lu Marry couldn't help but fall into memories.
During the battle with Lao Hu on the lake, it was snowing and raining, and she was rescued by Ning Changjiu and Ning Xiaoling. After waking up, she wished to accept them as their disciples. She didn't think there was anything wrong at the time. Leading people to the true path of immortality was the best way to repay their kindness. What's more, she was much older than them and was a good teacher.
After the calamity of the Imperial City, Tianku Peak became a disciple. Ning Jiujiu became his registered disciple, but he never learned the sword seriously. Even in class, he only accompanied Ning Xiaoling. Many disciples in the peak criticized this at that time.
In fact, she didn't seem to have taught Ning Changjiu anything. Even if Linhe City and his party were so dangerous, she was the last to arrive.
But looking back at Ning Jiujiu, he hammered his innate sword body to the point of being indescribably wonderful, like the body of an immortal. He also explained to himself many doubts in the way of swordsmanship. Those witty words had caused problems in his path of cultivation. There were many shocks, as if the clouds were clearing and the mist was clearing to see the blue sky.
At that time, she saw the truly bright stars at night.
It would be almost impossible for her to reach this level without Ning Jiujiu's help.
He is nominally his disciple.
But in reality
She could give many other answers, but Dead Leaf Butterfly only gave two choices.
Lu Marian finally faced her heart.
Her silky and flowing hair and spotless sword and robe are like a canvas. The light and shadow flowing on the canvas are the hustle and bustle of heaven and earth painted with brushes, and the ripples of her mind like a lake.
"Master." Lu Marry said with unprecedented seriousness: "He is my master."
She didn't know whether this was a prank by others or a gift from God.
It might even be induced by the devil.
But now she has found out another thing on her mind, and she feels like she has a clear conscience.
So she believes that her sword can become very fast, faster than ever before!
Even if evil takes over, she is confident that she will kill it.
But there was no other change.
The voice of the Dead Leaf Butterfly was still emotionless. It didn't seem to be a congratulation, but more like a statement: "The answer is passed. The wish comes true."
When Lu Marian heard the words "wishes come true", her heart was calm.
She knew that this was simply impossible.
She turned around slightly and looked at the entire abyss. The surface was sinking and falling endlessly, like a dark eye that would never wake up.
The withered leaf butterfly shattered in front of her.
Lu Marry smiled faintly, thinking it was a joke played by God on her.
But the next moment, she was stunned.
In the wet woods, thousands of rays of morning light suddenly shattered in an instant, as if a drizzle swept past with a storm, turning into a huge thunderstorm falling vertically from the sky, piercing her eyes like a sword, and then she Not a sound could be heard.
The clouds that covered the morning sun gradually dispersed, and the free light dissipated, turning into an overwhelming wave, submerging everything in this ordinary.
The wind rustled through the trees.
The clothes floating out from behind the big tree are like white clouds, clouds that only appear in dreams.
Lu Marry watched the figure appear and stood in front of him, showing a smile that couldn't tell the difference between true and false.
After a moment of daze, the sword at Lu Marian's waist was unsheathed and turned into a vast mist of water, surrounding her body like a dragon. Among the water dragons, a woman stands tall and straight, with black hair and white clothes dancing together, and her soft face is as sharp as a sword.
"Who are you?" Lu Marian said sharply.
Ning didn't make any move for a long time. He looked at Lu Jiumou's familiar, slightly fierce face, looked at her cold and struggling expression, and the fatigue of a month of running around disappeared. He smiled and asked: "How dare you, disciple?" According to the sect's rules, what should be the punishment for drawing a sword for the master?"
The familiar tone reached her ears, and Lu Marian's heart skipped a beat, but she couldn't believe it, but the sword energy around her involuntarily became thinner. She used the sword to draw a line on the ground as a boundary, and asked coldly : "When we first met, you asked me why immortals want to hide from the world. At that time, you quoted your senior brother's answer. What was it?"
Ning Jiujiu said: "It's not that I am hiding from the world, but that the mortal world is avoiding me. Well... Junior Sister also said at that time that my sister is already so peerless that there is no need to be peerless."
Ning Jiujiu said and couldn't help laughing: "I think junior sister is right."
The frost and snow between Lu Marian's eyebrows were like swaying shadows on the sword's clothes. She still held the sword tightly and continued to ask: "The sword comes from the sixteen orifices, right?"
Ning Jiujiu replied: "No."
Lu Marian asked again: "The sword is hidden in the dark, and it is invented in the light, right?"
Ning Jiujiu replied: "No."
Lu Marry asked again: "What did you use to refine my body?"
Ning Jiujiu replied: "Golden Crow."
The sword energy around Lu Marian was getting thinner and thinner. She didn't dare to blink, for fear that behind the light curtain, it was just a phantom of her own imagination.
She bit her lower lip and asked softly: "I... Where is the most untouchable part of me?"
Ning Jiujiu laughed and said, "Disciple, are you talking about the earlobe or the sword fetus, or something else that I don't know yet?"
His smile was blurry in Lu Yuemou's eyes.
Qiu Shui's long eyes were filled with tears in an instant.
She still held the sword, but it was just like an empty frame.
"Then... Who do you like more, me or Zhao Xiang'er?" Lu Marian bit her soft lips with her teeth, wisps of blood almost oozing out.
Ning Jiujiu smiled and said: "Of course Marry is my favorite little disciple."
"Asshole!" Lu Married said, scolding and angrily. Tears flowed down unconsciously, and she couldn't tell whether they were sad or happy.
Ning Changjiu raised his fingers and drew the stars around him. Beside the thatched cottage, the small flying sky array that had been silent for a long time finally lit up.
The small flying formation is activated.
Ning Jiujiu crossed the light curtain and came to her side. He put his arms around Lu Jianyou and reached her ear. After whispering "I've been waiting for a long time", he bit her amber earlobe.
There seemed to be thunder and lightning passing under the Roumiao Mountains, causing the cows to turn over and the mountains to tremble.
Lu Marian was trembling all over. She had a lot to say, but all of them were choked in her throat along with the salty tears.
The same is true for Ning Changjiu.
This face that he had only seen in dreams or inner demons was finally touched by his fingers.
He was also a bit blank.
Lu Marian's beautiful face was like the best wine in the world. He only glanced at it, and his watery eyes were slightly tipsy.
Their meeting was so silent.
Lu Jiaojiao straightened her slender hair.
Ning Jiujiu recalled her previous answer, and without any scruples, he directly held her face and leaned close to her.
Lu Marry closed her eyes slightly and swayed slightly, but did not resist.
Ning Jiujiu bit her petal-soft lips and pressed them together. Then Lu Jiaomingtan's mouth was slightly opened. Between her jade teeth, something damn, wet seemed to have invaded. They touched each other at first and then got an electric shock. They separated like each other, and then intertwined again, and the small fragrant tongues were entangled and it was difficult to break free, so they enjoyed each other's entanglement wholeheartedly, just like two clouds colliding together.
The slightly cold morning mist gathered at the edge of the abyss, like a gauze made in heaven, covering the master-disciple couple who were made in heaven.
For a long time…
It wasn't until the sun broke through the morning fog and clearly outlined their embrace again that they finally let go.
Ning looked at Lu Marian's face for a long time.
Her face was obviously full of tears, but she was the happiest he had ever seen her.
…
…
In the thatched cottage, the light and dust were blowing. On both sides of a simple table, Lu Marry and Ning sat opposite each other for a long time. On the table between them, there was a pot of tea.
"That butterfly... is you, right?" Lu Marian bit her lip, her voice a little low.
Ning Jiujiu looked at her with a smile, and the answer was self-evident. He said, "What if I don't ask you these questions and you have those cold airs with me again after seeing you again?"
Lu Marian sat upright. She lowered her head reluctantly and stretched out her fingers to sort through the hanging locks of hair. Her long eyelashes were illuminated by the light, like swan down.
Lu Jiaojiao complained: "Don't you want to recognize me as your master?"
Ning Jiujiu innocently said: "You are clearly the one who deceived the master and destroyed the ancestors."
"Stop talking." Lu Marian was a little annoyed.
"Do you want to regret it?" Ning Jiujiu asked.
"I..." Lu Marian's cheeks felt a little hot. She calmed her mind by pouring tea and said, "Where have you been these years and where did you come back from?"
Ning Jiujiu didn't give her a chance to change the subject. He held Lu Marian's tea-making hand, and that hand was like cool jade.
Ever since she cultivated her sword body, Lu Marry's body has always been cool and cool. It is a veritable ice muscle and jade bone. However, this kind of delicate and tight yet soft, just like the glaze-colored lips, looks like porcelain, but in fact it is The fragrance is so soft that you can't bear to let go.
Ning Jiujiu said: "What? You really don't want to admit it?"
"Admit what?" Lu Jiejiao pretended to be stupid and wanted to withdraw her hand.
Ning Jiujiu said: "My good disciple, please call me Master. Well... Husband is also fine."
"No." Lu Jieyou said.
"Huh? Why not?"
"You... I am your master." Lu Jiaou said stubbornly.
Ning Jiujiu said: "I helped you realize your wish, but you go back on your promise. How can there be such a bad girl in the world?"
Lu Marry tightened her lips, and the pride in her body disintegrated and melted.
Ning stared at her softly for a long time, and continued: "We have been separated for many years, and we meet again in the palace every night. I have taught you so much, why should I still not say anything to you?"
Lu Marian's body was trembling slightly. She knew that her heart had become clear after the dead leaf butterfly asked three questions, but now that Ning Chang is in front of her, the person who used to call her master now wants to Turning it upside down, how could she speak.
Ning Jiujiu said: "Now there are only you and me in the thatched cottage, why don't you want to be frank with me?"
Lu Marry still didn't speak.
Ning Changjiu smiled and said: "From now on, when we are alone, I will be your master. In front of outsiders, I will let you act like a master, okay?"
Shao Xiaoli also said similar words to him.
Lu Marian raised her head, with some resentment in her clear eyes. She thought to herself, this was clearly trying to tease her by taking advantage of the taboo meaning of the master and apprentice... Her pretty nose twitched, and finally her body trembled. Soft, still chose to compromise.
After all, she didn't prepare any gifts for meeting him this time, so she just wanted to satisfy his hateful taste.
"Um... Master." Lu Marian's voice was as thin as a mosquito.
Ning Jiujiu pretended not to hear clearly.
Lu Marry also expected it. She took a deep breath and stood up. Her sword intent was restrained, and her lowered eyebrows were indescribably gentle.
Lu Marion knelt down gently on the ground and performed the master-disciple etiquette seriously: "Disciple pays homage to master."
This scene had appeared in her inner demon tribulation back then.
Now the fantasy has become reality.
She knelt on the ground, her dress spread out like a lotus in the water.
Summer is the time when flowers bloom.
Outside the thatched cottage, there were thousands of forests and waves, silently surrounding them.
Ning Jiujiu looked at the graceful figure kneeling down gently, and was lost in thought for a long time. How could there be such a beautiful woman in the world, but she was still his current disciple and future wife... There would never be such a lucky thing in the world, right
"Master, aren't you going to let your disciple get up?" Lu Marian tilted her lips, the tears on her face had dried, her eyes curved up with a smile, and the sunlight flashed in her eyes.
Ning Jiujiu finally came to his senses, quickly put his hand on her jade shoulder, gently lifted her up, and couldn't help but hug her again.
Lu Marry also hugged him.
After a while, Lu Married's cold voice sounded again: "You... where are you putting your hands?"
Ning Changjiu said: "Check the body of the sword for my disciple."
Lu Marian snorted softly and said coldly: "As a master, you not only fail to be a teacher and want to teach your children Taoism and swordsmanship, but you are so restless and want to take advantage of your disciples. I think you are not worthy of being a teacher. Otherwise, Master will let me take the blame."
Ning Jiujiu hugged her, gently pushed her body down, pressed her to the ground, and asked: "Why is it that I am not worthy to be a teacher? I do have a set of Taoism that is suitable for the dusk of heaven and earth, the transition of yin and yang, and some sharp and precise methods. Excellent swordsmanship, I wonder if my disciple is interested in learning it?"
"Nonsense!" Lu Jianjian scolded and held down Ning Jiujiu's unruly hand. She had been cultivating for two years. The higher her level, the colder air in her bones would not be easily erased. Her facial expressions remained the same as she spoke. Covered with frost and snow, it has the meaning of reprimand.
The two of them joked for a while, and Lu Marry finally sat down again. She straightened her cool and thin snow-capped clothes and gathered her hair that was casually hanging down her back.
Ning looked at her slender and tight jade neck when she lowered her head for a long time, wanting to leave some mark. But when he came closer, Lu Married was ruthlessly pushed away. Lu Married sat upright and said seriously, "Where have you been in the past two years? What have you experienced?"
"This is a long story..." Ning Jiujiu fell into memories.
The tea on the table is getting cold.
Lu Marian's expression was extremely serious. She clenched her fists and placed them on her knees. Listening to Ning Jiujiu's words, her cheeks were almost transparent in the sun.
Naturally, Ning Jiujiu couldn't tell all the stories exactly.
He turned Shao Xiaoli into a lonely girl who was only six or seven years old, thin and small, and shaped both Si Ming and Ye Ju into ugly and vicious images.
Lu Marion never thought that there was actually a ruined Kingdom of God, nor did she ever think that the Heavenly Lord and the priests were actually exiled here.
The priests are chasing after each other, they are fleeing in the snowy gorge, and the ice fields are vast, but they are still trying to survive...
Afterwards, the guilty king came, and Ye Di used his sword to fly into the sky, severely injuring the guilty king. Later, they joined forces with the green-faced and fanged Si Ming to fight against the guilty king. There were countless twists and turns. When Ning Jiujiu talked about them one by one, the grand scene outside The sunlight has begun to dim, moving slowly towards the west, and the chirping of birds has become smaller and smaller, except for the tireless figures sitting opposite each other.
This is a long and tortuous story that lasted two years.
When Lu Yueyue heard that the guilty king was coming, her heart couldn't help but tighten. It was hard to imagine what kind of terror and pain Ning Jiujiu had experienced - that was an existence that was infinitely more powerful than Jiuying.
"Small Flying Sky Formation..." Lu Marion heard the most critical point in the battle with the Sinner, and recalled the half-year period when the Small Flying Sky Formation was always lit. The doubts she had at that time finally got the answer today.
Ning held her hand for a long time and said, "Well, that's the hand you extended to me."
Their hands finally held each other's hands for real.
"What happened next? How did you get out?" Lu Marian couldn't help but ask.
Ning Jiujiu told her the construction of that world.
Lu Marry looked in a daze... After hundreds of millions of years, she finally saw the sun rise for the first time in the initial chaos. What a magnificent and beautiful scene it must be. It's a pity she can't watch it with him.
"It turns out that you have experienced so much..." Lu Marian's smile was as shallow as ink flowers blooming in the water: "But I have been sitting here stupidly, doing nothing, unable to do anything..."
Ning Changjiu gently stroked her hair and said, "Just because I know you are always here, I can get here step by step."
Lu Marry smiled.
Ning Jiujiu's story has been told.
What follows is the story of the two of them.
Ning Jiujiu hugged her again, bit her lips, and exchanged each other's warmth with her.
"You... what are you going to do?" Lu Marian's eyes flashed, and her body became softer and softer.
Ning Jiujiu smiled and said: "Of course, I will test my apprentice's practice results in the past two years. If I slack off, my teacher will punish me."
