In the blink of an eye, it was another night.
When Ning Jiujiu opened his eyes, the light outside had passed through the grass window, illuminating the simple house brightly.
The thatched cottage was small, with no soft pillows and quilts, and the bed was mostly made of wood and hay. But when Ning Changjiu lay down, he felt that he could feel the warmth and warmth left over from the bed for two years.
Lu Marry still woke up earlier than him. As if she was fine, she put on brand new white clothes, combed her hair, cooked a pot of rice porridge and put two bowls on the table.
Ning Jiujiu got up and lay down, but felt his body was sore. He used his spiritual power to regulate his breathing and recuperate, and strengthened his muscles and bones.
When Lu Marry puts on her clothes, her temperament is always excellent. She is sitting on a long bench made of rough materials, but she seems to be sitting in a jade chair in the main hall of the peak. Her appearance and appearance are meticulous and cold. Fireworks.
When Ning Jiujiu saw this scene, he always felt that she was bullying him. However, when he still wanted to bully him, Lu Jianjian pushed him away with a finger, and then pushed him to the chair to drink porridge with her in a proper manner.
"There's only half a month until the sect leader's ceremony." Lu Marian said after finishing her porridge.
Ning Changjiu said: "I will go back with you then."
Lu Marian asked: "Don't you want to devote yourself to practice and wait for the three-year appointment to compete with Sister Zhao? If you return to the mountain, how can you hide the news?"
Ning Jiujiu smiled and said, "You're calling me sister now?"
Lu Marian's pretty face tightened slightly and she said, "I haven't seen you in the past two years. Where did you learn these words?"
Ning Jiujiu thought to himself that it was definitely not his fault, it must be that he had been with Shao Xiaoli for a long time and was infected by this girl who spoke openly.
Ning Changjiu smiled and said: "Maybe you don't know me well enough for Marry, it doesn't matter, our days will be long in the future."
Lu Marry asked again: "What about those moves? Where did you learn them? Or do I just don't know you too well?"
Ning pondered for a long time and replied: "The book has its own beauty like jade."
Lu Marian frowned, thinking that she had seen him reading books and scriptures every day in the bookstore at Tianku Peak. Could it be that he was reading those books all day long
This is too outrageous.
Lu Marian asked again: "Given you a few months, are you confident that you can defeat Miss Zhao?"
Ning thought hard for a moment and asked tentatively: "Losing to Zhao Xiang'er is not a shame, right?"
Lu Marry sneered, looking like her man was a waste.
Although he knew that Lu Marry was just pretending, Ning Jiujiu was still a little depressed. He sighed and said, "Do you dislike your husband for being too useless?"
Lu Marian's heart moved slightly when she heard the word husband. She clenched her hands quietly on her knees and shook her head: "Actually... I never thought about myself marrying a married woman in the past."
"Huh?" Ning Changjiu looked up at her.
Lu Marry laughed softly: "I think ascetics should spend their lives practicing Taoism with Xian Yun Yehe. When I discussed Taoism with you late at night in the temple, I actually had an imagination, but I also imagined that you and I would practice together in seclusion. scene, not these two nights…”
At this point, Lu Marry didn't say anything more. Not only was that a scene that no one else in the world could imagine, but even she doubted whether it was actually her.
But Taoism has a saying of Qi and Sanqing. Maybe people are multi-faceted. She in the snow peaks, in the lotus boat, and sitting in meditation at this moment should all be her. How can any immortal be truly exempt from vulgarity
But after all... it's a bit too wild.
For this reason, Ning Changjiu had another fallacy... After taking the medicine three times last night, he once told himself that all the beautiful things in life that he perceives are real, and there is no need to doubt whether its beauty is real. It is a gift from the earth. You need to read and enjoy it, no need to dwell on it.
But after thinking about it, she felt that it was all a lie, and she just hoped that she would be more proactive...
Ning Changjiu interrupted her thoughts with a smile: "Isn't the word "marriage and becoming a woman" tailor-made for marriage?"
Lu Marry was stunned for a moment, but she immediately realized that marrying as a woman... How could there be such a thing? It was too rogue.
Lu Marian ignored him and just said to herself: "I need time to think about it."
Ning Jiujiu nodded gently. He knew that even if he used the withered leaf butterfly to express his feelings, the twenty years of pure cultivation would eventually be the snow between his eyebrows and the frost in his heart. He said: "From now on, we will continue to Master and disciple are worthy of each other."
Lu Marian smiled and said, "Okay, Master."
Ning Changjiu said: "From now on, you call me master and I call junior sister Xiaoling. Then what should you call me Xiaoling?"
Lu Marian, who finally felt at peace, encountered a problem again.
In the past, he had always known that the evil disciple Ning Jiujiu had no respect for him, but Xiaoling was a real disciple. He treated her as his own daughter and passed on almost all the skills that could be taught. But if Based on her current seniority, wouldn't he want to call her uncle or aunt
Even if he was willing to be humble and condescending, Xiao Ling was afraid that he wouldn't be willing to do so.
Lu Marry said coldly: "Xiao Ling continues to call me Master. When in front of her, you must also call me Master."
Ning Jiujiu looked at her with a serious expression, and because he couldn't beat her now, he compromised.
The following years of practice were very peaceful.
The thatched cottage is undisturbed.
Ning Changjiu and Lu Married married, so they went into seclusion in Lu Nei to practice cultivation.
Lu Jiaoyao practiced the sword moves that had been put aside for two years and gradually became unfamiliar, while Ning Jiujiu repaired the broken Shura Divine Record first, while keeping it intact and looking intact.
On the ninth floor of Ziting, it is not easy to break through each floor.
Lu Jianjian has accumulated many years of experience, while Ning Jiujiu only started to practice at the age of sixteen in this life.
It has been a miracle to reach Ziting in nearly three years. If you want to go to the next level, without the help of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, it will be difficult.
In addition to practicing Taoism, the two often competed with each other in swordsmanship, and their understanding of the essence of swordsmanship was reflected in the fireworks that exploded between their fingers.
Ning Changjiu had learned a lot in his previous life, including swordsmanship, Taoism, talismans, and even many psychic and enlightenment techniques known as heresy. At first, he was modest in his heart not to hit his wife, but After several sword duels with Lu Marian, he had to use all his strength.
Each technique has its own image, such as flying flowers and picking leaves, or red flames swirling around, or inscriptions wrapped around the fingers, and the most common is thousands of sword points falling into the star rain.
But no matter what kind of strange tricks he uses.
Lu Yaoyuan can break through layers of barriers and break them cleanly with one sword.
"What a man who can defeat all kinds of magic with one sword."
Seven days later, Ning Changjiu entered the second floor of the Purple Courtyard, still defeated with one finger. He looked at his fingertips and gently blew out the green smoke on them. Suddenly, he regretted that he had completely trained Lu Jianjiao so early. .
Lu Marian looked at his unconvinced face and smiled: "What? You want to find some opportunities for me to forge swords again?"
Ning Jiujiu was told what was on his mind, and he also smiled and said: "What? Who begged for mercy last night? I don't remember?"
Lu Marion snorted coldly: "I just see you working hard during the day practicing swordsmanship, so I'm just pretending to give you some face."
"Really?" Ning Changjiu said: "Do you dare to fight on the lotus boat again tonight?"
In fact, Lu Jianjian was just being tough. In these days, her body had been thoroughly studied by the other party. The sensitive parts were like the switch of the gate, which could not be touched at all. If she was not careful, she would lose her armor, and she thought Surrender is never easy. The captives always have to be humiliated and soft-spoken with weird and embarrassing words before they are let go.
Lu Marian turned around slightly and scolded: "It's hard to practice swordsmanship. Although there is no one here, the master's swordsmanship is not as good as the apprentice. This matter can't be justified, right?"
"I sincerely follow my disciple's teachings." Ning Jiujiu said with a smile.
He counted the days, sat cross-legged, and continued to practice sword forging.
Night is coming.
The moon, river, and stars are so beautiful.
Scenes that would never be seen in the Boundary City were now in full view.
Ning Changchun and Lu Jianjian often admire the moon together. Even if the two of them are silent, the way they cling to each other is poetry.
"You seem to have something on your mind?" Lu Marian looked away from the moonlight and looked at the young man's profile.
Ning Changjiu has been feeling really restless these days.
He had said words such as "lifelong" to Lu Jiaou many times these days, but only he knew that these were just empty dreams he painted.
Ten years later, this dream will be shattered, and then it will be another separation of life and death.
This is the prophecy of Ye Chu, and it is also the ending that he has already experienced.
But why exactly is this so
Ning Jiujiu recalled every detail of his previous life as a master practicing Taoism.
At this moment, he was looking at the past twelve years from a different perspective.
In the past, when he lived in seclusion and watched, what he saw was that the second senior brother came down the mountain and the fourth senior sister did not return after slaying demons. But now he knew that the second senior brother came down from the mountain to the imperial city and saved the fiancée chosen by his master, and the fourth senior sister did not return. The senior sister went to Liantian Town and took Zhang Chengyu to Dahe Town.
He believed that he would meet some impressive senior brothers and sisters in the future, although he would not recognize them even if they met each other.
And that seemingly ordinary Dahe Town with little connectivity, now that I think about it, is simply a terrifying cradle filled with demons.
The fishermen, farmers, dung pickers, grass cutters, herders, everyone who seems ordinary may have once been a powerful ancient god in the world.
After experiencing several great catastrophes, they were reincarnated, forcibly cultivated into human bodies, and lived in the world in secret. Then they were found by the Unexpected and taken to Dahe Town together.
Each of them is a Shura body.
It was a Shura town...
No! Not just them, but even senior brothers and sisters, all those who have practiced Shura Divine Record, they may be the reincarnation of a certain ancient god.
Since they are all, then Master...
Ning Changjiu felt a slight chill in his heart, thinking that his usually amiable senior brothers and sisters were actually walking living fossils...
These Shura who have survived several catastrophes of heaven and earth gather together. If they want to carry out some kind of revenge, then who will the target of their revenge be
Ning Jiujiu also read many ancient books, but did not get the answer.
Seeing that he was lost in thought for a long time and didn't answer, Lu Marry stretched out her hand and gently covered his forehead, joking: "What? I'm right next to you, are you still thinking about other women?"
Ning Jiujiu came to his senses and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about? The best woman in the world is right next to you. If you have other delusions, it would be outrageous."
Lu Marian said: "There is a saying among the people that a wife is worse than a concubine than a concubine. No matter how precious the thing is, once it becomes a plaything in the palm of your hand, you will abandon it like a shoe."
Ning Jiujiu looked at her twinkling, slightly smiling eyes, then looked at her with a smile and said, "My disciple is becoming more bold when speaking. It seems that the sword forging these days has not been effective."
Lu Marry said slightly angrily: "Don't fool me with these nonsense. I have indulged you in sword forging for a few days. Although I recognize you as my master, in the future, unless I really make a mistake, there will be no need to forge swords." talk."
Ning Jiujiu said: "Disciple is really very strict."
The corners of Lu Marian's eyebrows and lips were dyed with an autumn moon-like smile.
After they chatted a few more nonsense, the conversation gradually became quieter, and they leaned shoulder to shoulder and looked at the full moon in the sky together.
The bright moon does not know the human world, but it always pretends to be happy or sad with its waxing and waning.
Lu Marry stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to pick the ice wheel in the sky between her palms and use it as a dressing mirror.
"I wish you a long life." Lu Jiaojian recited that ancient poem.
There is no need to travel thousands of miles to the beautiful scenery, just keep your loved ones company with you every night.
In the clear breeze and bright moon, Ning Changjiu smiled and said: "I have always been long-term."
Lu Marry was slightly startled, then glared at him in shame.
It’s always a good time and a beautiful family, why is this person so hateful
…
…
Among the four peaks, the damage caused by the battle that year has been mostly repaired.
The peach curtains have been hung up again, the broken stone carvings on the four peaks have been carved into new ones, and the "waterfall" surrounding Waterfall Mountain has dried up and is no longer covered. The fairy mountain has been shortened by more than half. Although the green pines in it are still green, the fairy spirit has been blown away by the wind.
All the swords and magic weapons in Huanpu Mountain were transported out as rewards for the next sect leader.
The rules of the sect master have also changed. From now on, the sect master does not have to live in seclusion in Huanpu Mountain, but he can still live in the four peaks. The peak where the sect master lives is the top of the four peaks.
"Uncle Lu, tell me about the sect master's ceremony, will the master come back?"
After class, Lerou pestered Lu Yuanbai and asked.
Lu Yuanbai sighed: "You are still young and have never seen the kind of infatuated people in the world. Now Master Lu Peak is guarding himself like a jade on the edge of the cliff, not thinking about returning. This sect master's ceremony is a big event for us, but for her, it may not matter at all. Take it to heart.”
Le Rou said angrily: "Then... what's so good about Ning Changjiu? He used to pretend to be a ghost, but now he has made Master so sad. If he hadn't been so kind, I would have stabbed his paper figurine long ago!"
Lu Yuanbai smiled and said: "The same person robbed Xiao Ling and then robbed Master. This... I really feel wronged to Xiao Lerou."
Ever since the Four Peaks mutiny, Lerou has always been with Ning Xiaoling. Even the seats were deliberately moved to one side. And she has always had a new love and forgotten the old one. Several male disciples who were active with her before He was left aside and became increasingly unfamiliar.
Lerou was also charming and charming, and she had many suitors in the past peaks. Those disciples who originally competed secretly never thought that they would lose in the end to a junior sister.
The two most beautiful junior sisters in the peak were together, and anyone who saw them would sigh with regret.
Of course, someone also asked Ning Xiaoling about this matter, but Ning Xiaoling denied it. Everyone also felt that Junior Sister Xiaoling only had that senior brother in her heart, and everything seemed to be Lerou's wishful thinking.
After her favorite Ning Xiaoling left, Lerou remained depressed and couldn't help but think of her favorite master, so she urged Lu Yuanbai to visit the thatched cottage every three days and asked the master to find ways to come back early.
The purpose of Lerou's visit today is the same: "Uncle Lu! Why don't you go and urge the master again?"
Lu Yuanbai smiled and said: "It's been two years, and I still can't be called Peak Master Lu?"
Lerou compromised and said, "Okay, Peak Master, Peak Master, Peak Master Lu!"
Lu Yuanbai said: "Peak Master Xue has already been there, and the words have been brought to him. Whether he comes back or not is up to Lu Marian."
"Aren't you afraid that Master will forget..."
"Well, then why don't you go by yourself?"
"I..." Le Rou naturally wanted to see her master, but she couldn't bear to see her master alone and sad.
"I'll go, I'll go!" Le Rou said angrily.
Lu Yuanbai said: "Forget it, let's save some energy, she won't come back."
Le Rou said angrily: "What if I bring Master back?"
Lu Yuanbai sneered: "Then I will give up the position of Peak Master to you!"
…
…
Ning sat quietly under the moonlight for a long time.
After he broke through before, he didn't have time to work hard in the future, so he hurriedly mastered the sword for a whole month.
The fatigue of traveling day and night has done a lot of damage to his already unstable state.
After several days of adjusting his breath, he finally stabilized his bones.
In the Broken Boundary City, he had come into contact with fate and time, and even had a battle with the Sin Lord. These were horrors and wonderful things that ordinary cultivators could never touch in their lifetime. Unfortunately, the experience of fighting the Sin Lord was like There is a rough stone in the lake of the heart, and with my current state, I am simply not able to polish it smooth.
Ten years seems like a long time.
But can he really go further than in his last life
If not, how can he get rid of the cone of fate and fulfill his lifelong promise to Lu Marian
The most taboo thing about Taoism is confusion.
"What's wrong?" The woman sitting silently opened her eyes and looked at him doubtfully.
Ning Changjiu shook his head gently: "My heart is a little confused."
Lu Marian said: "Don't practice if you are upset. Why don't you go to bed early."
Ning Jiujiu joked: "Why do you urge me to sleep every day?"
Lu Marry closed her eyes and continued to meditate, ignoring him.
Ning Jiujiu walked gently in the moonlit forest.
No matter how beautiful the lingering love is, it is only a short-lived moment after all. How to get rid of the predetermined fate is what he has been thinking about.
"Master, what exactly are you going to do?" Ning looked at the moon for a long time and murmured softly.
…
…
Hidden away from the world, not visible.
The peak is like the largest sword in the world, thrust into the sky, like the legendary Kunlun Pillar.
Houses are scattered on the mountainside, surrounded by rivers.
That's Big River Town.
Dahe Town is no different from ordinary villages and towns in the world. The houses are connected, the green tiles are continuous, the streets are paved with old bricks, the shepherds and wheat are green on both sides of the town, there is flowing water between the fields, the snails move slowly, and the fish The shrimp scurried to chase the moon shadow.
No one could have thought that the algae-covered field snails were actually heavy virtual snails that were born by swallowing starlight, and those small silver fish that kept moving were blind-scaled fish swimming in the virtual world, and those The shrimps and crabs wandering in the fields are the scales that fell off a real dragon when it was executed and were transformed into water.
Every strand of the ivy that grows wildly in the forest is a climbing vine. It is said that the backbone of the ancient artifact, the Divine Whip, is made of twenty-four thousand-year-old climbing vines. The osmanthus flowers in the forest are all seeds of the Moon Palace. , the piled stones are all magical objects that can be polished into immortal weapons.
But whether it's Big River Town or not, no one has ever thought it was anything.
The heavy snail should be returned to the fields, the blind-scaled fish should be returned to the stream, the dragon-scaled snake and scorpion should be returned to the mounds and caves, and the fairy vine and laurel should be no more than a wild tree in the forest.
Just because it's not impressive here.
The great hidden place of heaven and earth.
Zhang Chengyu has lived here for more than two years. His duty is to paint, but what he paints is not an ordinary picture scroll. Instead, he waits for nightfall to complete the dark night sky.
Every star on this night was a prototype that he drew with his own hands, and then other craftsmen crafted it and embedded it into the sky.
They are the best craftsmen.
Legends of the Wa people have been spread in the world. It is said that each of the Wa people is an extraordinary master, infected with the original divine power from the beginning of chaos. They walk in the shadow of the world, repairing the loopholes and problems of the world. They do not leave their names. , and never takes credit for the creation of all living things. There are even legends that describe them as rule-keepers. Before the Lord of the Kingdom of God came to the world, they were the ones who killed the ancient gods who broke the rules.
But the Wa people disappeared thousands of years ago, and there is little evidence for subsequent legends.
Zhang Chengyu felt that in a sense, they were the Wa people, but they were not repairing the original world, but building a new country.
When Zhang Chengyu first arrived, he felt that constructing such a world in the domain of the Lord of the Kingdom of God was simply whimsical. , but later he met several old friends here, and those old friends didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Later he realized that the reason for everything was the woman sitting in the Taoist temple at the end of Dahe Town.
A woman who could possibly add another seat among the twelve heads of the kingdom.
Zhang Chengyu lowered his pen, and the white long-haired dog next door barked a few times.
The town is silent.
The senior sister walked through the town wearing a pale blue robe. She held a fly whisk in her arms and walked quietly, passing by the path lined with buckwheat and wheat. The ups and downs of the robe matched mysteriously with the waves of wheat in the night wind.
She stopped in front of the unsightly mountain path.
The second senior brother was sitting on a cliff, holding a knife, with a look of exhaustion on his face.
The elder sister's expression became much more solemn.
"Master is out of seclusion?" Senior Sister asked.
The second senior brother nodded and said, "Master wants to see you."
"Just me?"
"Well, in the whole temple, you are the one who has master's true inheritance the most. It really makes people jealous." The second senior brother stretched and said with a smile.
The senior sister asked again: "Did Master say anything else?"
The second senior brother pondered for a while, calmed down his cynical expression, and said: "Master's situation doesn't seem to be very good..."
Senior Sister Dai frowned slightly.
She nodded slightly and continued walking forward.
The failure to find the junior brother for more than ten years was an irreparable part of the original plan after all.
This has been their problem for many years. She vaguely felt that Master's release from seclusion had something to do with this.
The senior sister walked into the view.
She still didn't understand what the second junior brother said.
How could someone like Master be in a bad situation
She walked calmly into the deepest part of the view.
The Taoist temple is quiet.
In the deepest hall, there are hundreds of statues of ancient gods. The statues all hold candles in their hands, and the candlelight illuminates their ferocious faces made of paint.
The statue in the center of the hall is a giant standing tall and tall. His figure reaches directly to the top of the caisson. The statue is more like a sky pillar, with golden light falling and entwining dragons. Those dragons are all carved from real dragon bones. Some of them are shaped like four-legged snakes, and some have a bunch of bat-like wings. Their bones are all dense and dense.
The central statue also held a candle in its hands, but the candle burned not whale oil, but a flaming feather.
The statue holds a feather of fire in its hand, and it is unclear whether the feather is ignited or the feather itself is burning.
Among the hundreds of ferocious statues, the curtains were gently fluttering.
The senior sister walked into the hall.
Behind the curtain, the figure of a woman is faintly outlined.
So all the hundreds of ferocious gods and demons lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes.
After ten years, the senior sister finally saw the master again.
Behind the curtain, a clear and indifferent voice floated out gently. The voice was like a dandelion held up by the pure cold wind, white and clear. Every word was like petals spreading out, and the petals contained cold dreams.
No matter how ethereal and cold the woman's voice was, it would not be as shocking as the content.
The master's fairy voice lingered in her ears, and then turned into the wind and snow that blocked the sky and the sun.
"I have already gone back in time once, and it was ten years ago now."
This is Master's first sentence.
The senior sister stopped and looked confused.
The woman behind the curtain said the second sentence: "In the previous life, and today, I decided on a remedy by going back in time."
It's just that people who look back are not sober, so she didn't understand everything until today.
The senior sister finally understood the meaning of her words.
History has actually gone through a process, but at the end, Master turned back time to the present day, so... doesn't this just illustrate their plan...
The senior sister's blue dress looked like real ice. She asked softly: "What about the junior brother?"
The woman said the third sentence: "In the past, I couldn't find me, but now I see him."
The senior sister did not understand this sentence.
But she knew what Master meant: "Should I take him back to the temple?"
"No need." The figure of the woman behind the curtain swayed gently in the candlelight: "Since you have seen the ending once, there is no need to force him to stay. You only need to enlighten him."
The eldest sister stood on the ground like water. She was always calm and did not feel fear after hearing the ending.
In front of her, a star map was unfolded. In the star map, a star in Nanzhou was particularly bright.
"Disciple, I obey." Senior Sister Ning saluted.
"Bring this to him too." The words, so pure that they were not stained by any trace of fireworks, slowly floated out.
Then, the flame feathers held in the hands of the central god were blown up by the wind and fell gently. Behind the curtain, the woman gently stretched out her fingers and lit the flame feathers.
Chill everywhere.
It wasn't really cold, it was more like thousands of years of loneliness.
Fire feathers fell in front of him, like a hanging candle.
The candle gradually spread out, flattened out, and turned into a red letter.
The letter flew out.
It was a marriage letter.
