Beyond the Divine States

Chapter 245: The fish sinks and the wild goose falls

Views:

The empty Kingdom of God is filled with tiny golden glow.

The spark fragments, which were as huge as palace buildings, were flowing with magma and slowly rising and falling in the air.

Ning Changjiu wore a broken red wedding dress. Shura's golden light had retreated into his flesh and blood. His face was pale, and there were still blood stains on the corners of his mouth. He was as thin as a scholar.

He parted the long hair that fell on the girl's face, stretched out his soft sleeves and wiped her dirty cheeks.

Zhao Xiang'er's body curled up in pain. The previous world was shattered, and the subsequent strength was not enough to support her in maintaining the five realms, so she was seriously injured in the white cat's desperate blow.

The moment the world shattered, Ning Jiujiu, who had been waiting for a long time, instantly locked onto the two figures, covered them with golden crows, and brought them into his world one after the other.

This is his incomplete country.

The Fish King slowly stood up.

Most of its hair was burnt, and it knew that, just as the old fish said, it was about to return to the common destiny of all living things.

In this world, there are cages inside one another. When you step out of the small area you think you have, all you see is a wider cage. What living beings do is either accept it, or continue to break through to a wider world until they completely hit a wall.

Heaven and earth are endless, and even the wisest man cannot imagine its boundaries.

The young man also stood up holding her in his arms.

The Fish King looked at him.

Ning Chang wore a wedding dress with dark hair, and the soft lines on his face gradually became hard in the golden light, as sharp as a blade. At this moment, with his hair disheveled, he looked like a handsome red-clothed ghost in hell, but he also had a desolate look. It means that with his appearance, he should be smelted by this golden divine kingdom, but he is the master here.

"What's your name?" Fish King asked, covering his chest and coughing.

"Ning Changjiu." The young man raised his head.

His pupils were golden.

At this moment, the Fish King felt the terrifying pressure and the anger from the entire world.

The demonic aura suddenly dissipated the moment he raised his head. At this moment, he looked like a god who had guarded this broken kingdom for thousands of years. Hidden in those eyes was the light that had been lonely for eternity.

The Fish King looked at him and slowly recovered from the shock: "What a good name, and I wish you good luck."

Ning Jiujiu asked: "Why does Bai Zang target Suzaku?"

The Fish King laughed and said: "How can I know this?"

Ning Jiujiu asked: "Who is that saint?"

The Fish King said: "I have never seen it, but I know that he is great, and he is also the first person to touch the edge of this cage of heaven and earth. Unfortunately... even he could not break it."

Ning Jiujiu frowned and said, "The edge of the cage?"

The Fish King nodded and said: "I have never touched it, but I believe that one day, you will see it... This world may be peaceful now, but the truth behind it is far more cruel than you imagine. "

"Is this a world of destiny?" Ning Jiujiu asked. He thought of the New Year's Eve.

The Fish King shook his head gently, and combed his withered hair with his claws, looking regretful and regretful: "How can it be so simple? It is something much more cruel than fate. The saint said that death is the only thing that can survive. The way back."

Every creature has its own innate destiny, but death is the eternal winter of all things.

"The saint... what else did he say?" Ning Jiujiu thought about the meaning of that sentence and asked.

The Fish King thought about it seriously and said: "The saint said many things, but very few of them can be passed down... I only vaguely remember what he said: 'Entrust gods with laws, rather than give laws to gods. ', haha, if he hadn't said this, I would have thought he was a stupid lunatic."

Ning thought about the meaning of this sentence for a long time and sighed softly.

"A saint is worthy of being a saint."

"But still dead."

"died?"

"We are all fish in the pond. No matter how deep we hide in the mud, there is no use..." The Fish King thought of the stagnant water that had trapped him for many years.

"All life is originally a fish." Ning Jiujiu suddenly said.

This is history as he sees it in a cross-section of time.

That's the beginning of life.

"Huh?" Fish King was slightly startled.

Ning Jiujiu said slowly: "They are all fish... they have no cervical vertebrae, no teeth, they don't understand anything, but when they saw land, some fish jumped onto the land. The fish on the land accidentally looked up and saw The sky, so they jumped into the sky. This process lasted for countless years, but this is what living things do."

The Fish King also laughed when he heard this.

It once believed that it could jump out of the sea.

It looked at Ning Changjiu and said with a smile: "You are right. You are young and you are not afraid of the endless avenues... But I am old. If you want to kill me, I will still not sit back and die."

"Yeah." Ning Changjiu responded lightly.

The girl in Ning Chang's arms shrank tighter, as if she had a nightmare.

Ningjiu didn't want to wake her up for a long time, so its sword was very gentle.

The balance of the world is tilted towards him.

The Fish King was too seriously injured at the moment.

It meowed.

It doesn't like its own scream, a bit like an old eunuch in the palace.

This is the second battle that took place in the Ten Eyes Kingdom.

The fire in the sky looks like connected crystals.

There is light everywhere.

The world is so bright that there is no shadow.

It was so bright, but the Fish King remembered that rainy night.

Ning Jiujiu also thought of that full moon night.

They looked at each other and saw their own shadows in each other's eyes.

It was a look of laughter, pity, and determination.

Their figures disappeared together.

In the sky, debris-like flowing fire dragged out slender flame tails and kept falling to the ground.

The surface layer formed by the dust of the ruins on the ground was burned away, revealing a mirror-like material.

The fire grew brighter and brighter, and the shadow of the Golden Crow flew back and forth.

Time passes...

The first one to land was the Fish King.

It fell to the ground, its body covered with wounds and dying.

"Hehehehe..." The fish king fell to the ground, his limbs twitching, and a sharp laughter suddenly burst out from his throat.

Ning Jiujiu also landed on the ground again, his steps were empty.

The battle ended quickly, but was extremely dangerous.

This was the first time that he faced a cultivator of the Five Realms head-on.

Ning held Zhao Xiang'er gently for a long time without waking her up.

She also wrapped her arms around his neck unconsciously.

In this battle, not only did she not become a liability, the powers of Suzaku and Golden Crow also had a certain compatibility, which even allowed him to perform more powerful sword moves.

Tens of thousands of flowing fires fell from the sky.

Ning opened the red umbrella for a long time.

The flowing fire fell on the umbrella and exploded into small flowers one after another.

Crack, crackle.

"What are you laughing at?" Ning Jiujiu knew that it was bound to die. He listened to its sharp laughter and asked doubtfully.

The Fish King didn't answer.

It remembered, until now, it finally remembered...

Back then... when the old fish jumped to the shore and peeled off its scales, it regretted it and howled in pain... It begged him to throw it into the water again. But he didn't let go. It pressed the old fish tightly, holding down its bloody but still fresh body.

It trembled and cut open its abdomen and took out the secret book. The old fish stared at himself in pain, with resentment and hatred.

It turns out that this was the truth back then.

It always deceives itself, creates a beautiful story for itself, and tells it to itself every day and night until it believes it to be true.

That's why it is so obsessed with opening up a way for those fish to survive.

He wanted to complete this false story...

Behind this belief that he believed in, it turned out to be bloody ugliness and greed.

It’s better not to know.

"I'm... the fish king, the fish king... cluck cluck... hahahaha..." The white cat curled up on the ground, laughing wildly.

There is light in all directions here, and the darkness in its heart can no longer be hidden.

In the grand light, it laughed wildly, laughed crazily, and climbed up from the ground unsteadily.

It moved its limbs together, like a lion, and pounced towards Ning Changchun.

Ning Chang stabbed his sword in front of him.

The Fish King jumped on the sword.

The blade pierced its chest.

Blood splattered.

"I am the Fish King... I am the Fish King..."

He roared, laughing wildly.

There are many monsters like it in the world.

They are demons driven crazy.

At the end of its life, it stared at Ning Jiujiu and let out a strange roar:

"Fight out! You must fight out! Don't be me... Don't be me!!"

The Fish King's hair stood on end.

It said its final words.

The demonic pupils were scattered, and the hair that exploded became stiff.

The fish king died like this.

A drop of blood splashed out and landed on Zhao Xiang'er's neck.

Those are the red beans left in the snow.

She snorted softly and woke up leisurely.

She fell from Ning Changjiu's arms and landed lightly on the ground.

Zhao Xiang'er looked at the white cat's body, remained silent for a long time, and said, "Thank you."

Ning Jiujiu smiled and said, "Husband and wife are birds of the same forest."

"Huh?" Zhao Xianger was confused.

Ning Jiujiu said: "We will never know the second half of the sentence."

Zhao Xiang'er also smiled: "That's the right time."

Ning Jiujiu looked at her squatting in front of the white cat's body and asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Demon pill." Zhao Xianger said.

Ning Jiujiu handed over the umbrella sword.

Zhao Xiang'er shook his head gently and said calmly: "It has no demon elixir."

"No demon pill?" Ning Jiujiu wondered, how could the demon not have a demon pill

During the questioning, the white cat's figure turned into sand and disappeared.

There was only one book left on the ground.

That was the secret scroll it took out from the belly of the old fish.

Zhao Xiang'er picked it up.

She didn't look at it, just put it into Ning Changjiu's hand and said softly: "I'm leaving."

"I... know." Ning Jiujiu tipped the red umbrella over her head.

Zhao Xiang'er held his umbrella hand.

The firelight on the red umbrella became less and less.

The world of Jinwu shrinks.

In the night sky, Lu Marry's sword completely suppressed the seriously injured Xueyuan.

Although Ning Changjiu's Heavenly Sword failed to kill her, it also caused irreversible horrific trauma.

Xueyuan was still desperately resisting, but she knew it was in vain.

After the death of the Fish King, she could completely wait for death to come.

The Golden Crow broke through the darkness of the night, and the light illuminated Xue Yuan's eyebrows.

Xueyuan squinted her eyes in the bright light and looked at Zhao Xiang'er.

"The kingdom of God... is resurrected... I... wish to be loyal..."

Her words were broken, almost pleading.

Zhao Xiang'er looked indifferent and said nothing.

Ning held the sword for a long time and penetrated her body.

The wind and snow are silent.

Two feathers fell down.

One of the two feathers is as white as ice silk, and the other is as golden as thunder.

Zhao Xiang'er passed over and held them in his hands.

The snow kite also turned into a feather.

"I did it." Ning Jiujiu suddenly said.

"Well, you have completely won our agreement. Thank you... and Sister Lu." Zhao Xiang'er looked at them, she gathered two feathers in her palms, and after standing still, she relaxed deeply.

Lu Marry smiled weakly and gave a slight salute.

Ning Jiujiu smiled and said, "That's not what I'm talking about."

"Huh?" Zhao Xianger was confused.

"Do you still remember the time in the Imperial City, when we just woke up?" Ning Jiujiu recalled with a smile: "At that time, Marry was cooking medicine and we were talking on the bed. You joked that I looked pretty. It has the appearance of a sinking fish and a falling wild goose.”*

The fish sinks and the wild goose falls…

Zhao Xiang'er looked at the dead Fish King and the feathered Snow Kite, was stunned for a moment and then smiled.

At that time, it was a joke between them.

A prophecy.

"You really remember everything." Zhao Xianger said.

Ning Jiujiu smiled and said, "I've recorded all the things you said that made fun of me in my account."

Zhao Xiang'er looked at his clothes and smiled: "Yes, Taoist Ning is not only getting more and more stupid, he is also getting more and more powerful."

"Taoist Master Ning? You should be punished for being so unfamiliar." Ning Jiujiu said.

"How do you want to punish me, husband?" Zhao Xiang'er said with a smile on her lips.

"As a punishment, you must not forget me."

"good."

She responded.

There was fire in the sky.

The night sky was like a sea of fire.

Suzaku came over.

"Sister Lu." Zhao Xianger suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Lu Marian's eyes were gentle.

Zhao Xianger hesitated and said: "Well... there is something... I have always wanted to do."

"What's the matter?" Lu Married asked.

Zhao Xiang'er came closer to her, leaned down a little, and then suddenly leaned forward, burying his head into the towering and angry softness.

Lu Marian's cheeks were slightly red, and she looked at Ning Jiujiu at a loss.

Ning looked at them tenderly for a long time.

Behind them, the shadow of a bird came, and the flames lit the sky.

The sky is as bright as day.
