(I was really stuck at first, but after asking for leave, I suddenly became more open-minded! So, I skipped asking for leave today!)
The casino is brightly lit.
People looked at each other in disbelief. The crown and sword of the second senior sister of Jiange were still on the table, with a simple color. The money and chips piled next to them looked like worshipers, exuding a rotten atmosphere.
The second senior sister has disappeared from the house, and there was not a trace of wind when she left.
The storm that had been brewing for a long time suddenly rose up after a moment, the silence was broken instantly, and the sudden noise of people's voices exploded, almost lifting the roof off. This is what happened in Tianbang, and this emotion will continue to spread rapidly in the near future.
Xiao Qiu was also stunned for a long time. When his heart finally sank, he took steps, crossed the threshold, and stepped onto the snowy street. There were no footprints on the street, and the second gentleman also disappeared without a trace.
He raised his head and saw in the center of the sky list, a bright line like raindrops connecting heaven and earth, wiping from top to bottom. The building in Tianbang shook endlessly, and the shrouded golden light shattered into pieces, just like a hundred thousand butterflies emerging from their cocoons at the same time, spreading their golden wings and flying into the snowy and cold night.
The boundless golden light dispersed into golden powder in the air, covering the buildings.
But the golden light cannot cover the bright line in the middle.
That is the sword of the second senior sister of Jiange. Its brilliance cannot be taken away from heaven and earth!
The disciples of Jiange broke the rules of the Tianbang... This thought rushed into Xiao Qiu's mind, and the impact was no less than that of Ning Jiujiu who won against the fourteenth disciples before.
Tianbang has stood in China for thousands of years and is older than any sect today.
Tianbang is recognized as a natural thing. No one knows its origin, but even Jiange still respects it. In the history of Tianbang, there are many cases where famous people were defeated by unknown people, but no one has ever really challenged the rules of Tianbang.
And today, the second senior sister broke the ranking...
An ancient existence like Tianbang faces a behemoth like Jiange. If there is a conflict between the two, I don't know how it will end in the end.
What happened these days was far beyond Xiao Qiu's imagination. Until this moment, he realized that he seemed to be involved in a big event, and he, who had always been conceited, seemed small in it.
…
The second senior sister cut off the restriction on the Heavenly Ranking. She looked at the sword light falling straight from the sky and frowned.
She regretted her impulsiveness.
But the building was broken down, so she didn't bother to think about anything else and just went upstairs with her sword.
Although the building in Tianbang is also majestic, it is not as towering as the fourth floor in Middle Earth. The second senior sister settled on the first step and reached the top of the building in a blink of an eye.
The wind and snow on the balcony were chopped into pieces by the sword, and looked like a mess. The door of the command building was closed, and the wind poured in from the gap. There seemed to be subtle human voices coming from inside, which was difficult to distinguish.
Although the movement outside was loud, the restrictions on the Tianbang were also heavy. The command building was not affected. In addition, the door was closed tightly, and the boys and girls inside did not feel any movement.
For some reason, the woman who was so angry at first calmed down inexplicably after arriving here.
She gathered all her breath and slowly approached the door.
She turned her body slightly and looked inside through the crack in the door.
The competition room in the command building is paved with special ground stones. The ground stones are complexly forged and mixed with special spiritual energy. Even practitioners in the Purple Court Realm will find it difficult to leave sword marks on them.
At this moment, the candlestick in the command building was lit, and the ground stones were shimmering with light, like a spread of water stirring with rouge.
My junior sister was sitting on her knees on the ground, her head lowered, her short hair was messy, and her neck was slightly red. She stretched her hand forward.
In front, the little junior sister's black cloak has been taken off and spread on the ground. A young man in white is lying on the cloak with a pale face. The young man was good-looking, and his features were as delicate as those of a noble family. But even in a coma, the heroic spirit between his eyebrows was still like a sword sharpened thousands of times. He lay on the cloak like an arrow lying in a box.
The junior sister is taking care of him.
Hum, as expected, when I saw a good-looking wild man, I couldn't move my legs. He bowed his knees and served him wholeheartedly. He completely forgot about his identity as a disciple of Jiange... What are these words
When the second senior sister saw this scene, she became angry again.
She decided to rush into the house and give her a good lesson. At the same time, she also taught the boy who had a good skin but was half-dead now... He dared to touch the woman of Jiange. She was really tired of living.
She was about to enter the door when she heard conversations coming from inside the house.
The second senior sister retracted one of her legs.
She listened intently.
"What on earth did you see upstairs? Although I don't know much about the Tianban, I have always heard about it. Everyone on the list is lively and lively. How can there be anyone like you?" Liu Xiwan said lightly: "You don't know. Are you pretending to be sick to win my sympathy?"
"I'm not that boring." Ning Jiujiu said.
Liu Xiwan said reluctantly: "Then what exactly did you see?"
Ning Changjiu said: "You will know when I can pull out that sword one day."
"That sword?" Liu Xiwan was a little confused, then stretched out her hand and pressed her heart, probably understanding what he meant.
She was a little embarrassed and didn't bother to respond to him.
"I like to talk, but I don't want to talk." Liu Xiwan snorted coldly, and then asked: "Why has your swordsmanship improved so much? When we parted ways with you half a year ago, I was still able to share some of the advantages with you, but now I am no longer what I used to be. , but I never thought that I would still be no match for you."
The second senior sister was slightly shocked - they actually knew each other a long time ago
I once inquired about my junior sister's true life experience, but she didn't tell me, and the sword master didn't give a clear answer. She just kept her doubts in her heart and didn't ask any more questions. This time when I broke into the building, it turned out to be an old friend of my junior sister
She vaguely felt that there was a secret hidden in it, so she remained silent and continued to eavesdrop.
Ning lay on the ground for a long time, closed his eyes, and whispered: "Because you haven't fully understood it yet."
"Completely enlightened?" Liu Xiwan was puzzled, thinking that her sword heart had already become clear.
Ning Jiujiu said: "Your heart is still broken."
"Don't fight with me. We are not outsiders. Just speak frankly." Liu Xiwan said.
Ning Jiujiu thought for a while and said: "There are two reasons for your separation. One is between man and sword. You have never thought about what you want to be. Your independence and dependence are suppressed deep in your heart, and they are always in conflict. The second thing is... gender, I know you can't accept yourself as you are now, not to mention you, I'm still surprised."
Liu Xiwan snorted coldly and said with words full of resentment: "The abominable second senior sister lied to me. She gave me this swordsmanship, saying that only the palace can practice it. I didn't have any doubts, so..."
Outside the door, the second senior sister's face turned gloomy. She squinted her eyes and frowned, and started to grind her teeth together gently.
Ning Jiujiu couldn't help but laugh weakly.
Liu Xiwan frowned and said angrily: "Why are you laughing! If I were a man now, how could I be defeated by you! You are a wicked person who only knows how to hit women!"
Ning Jiujiu whispered: "I'm just good at forging swords..."
"Shut up, my mother!" Liu Xiwan heard the word "forged sword" and thought about the scene where she was pushed to the ground and beaten. Her cheeks burned. She gritted her teeth and looked at him and said, "If I didn't still miss some old feelings, I would I would have strangled you to death a long time ago! Humph, I shouldn’t have supported Lu Marion in the first place, I should have supported Zhao Xianger to beat you to death!”
"Xian'er and I still... win or lose each other." Ning Jiujiu argued.
Liu Xiwan sneered and said harshly: "Come on, I don't know you yet? You may appear calm and calm on the surface, but in essence you are an old pervert who is afraid of his wife!"
Ning Changjiu was very weak and didn't bother to refute it.
"Anyway, thank you for staying." Ning Jiujiu said softly: "Actually, you are quite cute like this now. Just forget about the past and start a new life."
"Cute?" Liu Xiwan said angrily: "Don't have any wrong ideas. I was originally supposed to be a man. If I were you, I would feel sick just thinking about it!"
Ning Jiujiu said: "It would be better if I were a man."
"?" Liu Xiwan was shocked, looked at him dumbfounded, and said: "Ning... you, you don't really have that kind of hobby, do you?"
As she spoke, she moved her body back.
Ning Jiujiu said: "What I mean is that you will always be with me in the future. If you were a man, it would be easier for me to explain to Marry and Xiang'er. Unlike now, they probably won't believe me no matter what I explain. of."
"I won't be your sword!" Liu Xiwan heard this and said coldly: "Besides, you didn't ruin your reputation yourself? Who is to blame? Anyway, my gender is fixed now... Alas, I was originally I’ve thought about it for a while, and now that I’ve seen you, I’m even more annoyed!”
Ning Changjiu said: "The skin is just a foreign object. Since you want to detect the supreme swordsmanship, of course you must also detect such minute foreign objects as early as possible."
Liu Xiwan hummed lightly: "I'm just unhappy anyway, and I originally thought that after I chose a woman, this place would be like Lu Marion... Who would have thought..."
Ning Jiujiu chuckled and interrupted: "Not too young."
"I'm just unhappy anyway!" Liu Xiwan clenched her fists.
Ning Jiujiu said: "To put it mildly, the family scandal should not be made public."
"Bah! Who's from your family?" Liu Xiwan was gearing up to meet him with her fists.
The second senior sister looked a little surprised outside.
this…
Why did my little junior sister become like this
In the past six months, except for the little junior sister who experienced a period of visible anxiety after choosing her gender, she has been calm and well-versed in the world since then, so she also likes this junior sister very much. Firstly, she has a good temperament, and secondly, she is highly talented. , there is almost no swordsmanship that she cannot learn twice.
But in front of this man, how could she act like a young girl in love with her child
This made the second senior sister feel very unhappy, as if something she seemed to have had been taken away from her.
Inside the room, the two cursed for a while.
Ning Jiujiu completely lost his strength and lay sickly. Liu Xiwan gave him some sword power, and then threatened her with words. Only when he begged her would she be willing to continue to send spiritual power.
Ning Jiujiu thought that there were no outsiders here, so he didn't lose any face. He just said whatever the sword spirit asked him to say.
The second senior sister was outside the door, listening to the increasingly outrageous words they said to each other... The younger junior sister's image in her heart was slowly overturned.
It turns out that you were just showing off in front of me... The second senior sister thought this way, gritted her teeth, and silently took notes.
She rubbed her forehead, raised her head slightly, and looked at the roof of Tianbang, feeling suddenly confused.
Why hasn't Bang Ling made any movement yet
The sword master said that the spirit was very powerful. Its power lies not in its power, but in its near-impossibility to kill.
Of course, Bang Ling's realm is not weak at all, even if compared to himself, he should only be stronger.
But Second Senior Sister never believed that there was anything in the world that could not be killed.
She is free and easy by nature, thinking that even if the ranking is broken, it doesn't matter if the matter becomes bigger. Anyway, in the days to come, they will do bigger things - use the three-foot green blade in their hands to hide in the darkness of the world. The tumors and blood stasis are scraped away.
…
"Call me master!" Liu Xiwan became more and more serious.
Ning Jiujiu did not respond. He was lying on the bed, completely losing his strength and looking half-dead.
Liu Xiwan frowned and said, "Why are you pretending to be dead? Do you still want me to take care of you?"
I would rather not speak for a long time.
Liu Xiwan touched his forehead and tested his pulse again.
"Really passed out?" Liu Xiwan still had doubts and said dissatisfied: "You really know how to choose the right time."
…
Ning Jiujiu fell into a deep sleep.
His consciousness turned into a snow-white shadow, floating upward.
He crossed the ceiling and reached the top again.
"You're here." A voice sounded.
Without waiting for Ning Jiujiu to answer, dozens of voices repeated at the same time, and Ruo Wan Gui shouted in unison: "You're here."
These sounds buzzed in Ning Changjiu's ears.
He opened his eyes while in the lucid state. He reached the top of the sky list, but what he saw was not a magnificent palace, but a towering giant tree.
This is the tallest and largest tree he has ever seen. Its roots are rooted in the center of the earth, its branches overflow into the sky, and its huge crown spreads infinitely, as if it wants to cover the sky. But on those tree trunks, the leaves have become scarce, and the shadows of the horizontal branches are lonely, as desolate as the void universe.
There were many people standing under the tree.
Ning Jiujiu met all the old people who had introduced him before, and those old people faced him one after another. There are minor disabilities such as club feet and stuttering, and there are also horrific disabilities such as broken arms and dismembered eyes.
Finally, these people disappeared one after another, leaving only the last healthy old man.
The old man looked at Ning for a long time. He suddenly raised the knife and cut open his body.
Only then did Ning Jiujiu discover that this seemingly intact old man actually had serious disabilities.
In his body, the heart was torn apart, a large part was missing, and the blood vessels were misplaced and broken, like countless tangled roots, many of which were even knotted. His lungs had been cut open, exposing the blood vessels between them. The edges of the liver, gallbladder, and kidneys seemed to have been cut with exquisite knife skills by a chef, and they were finely chopped. They lay in the sticky blood, and the blood squirmed like countless pieces buried there. The worms want to devour all the internal organs together.
Ning looked at this disgusting scene for a long time without changing his expression. He shook his head gently: "No need to be mysterious."
The old man dismembered his body expressionlessly, his body spread out and turned into a handful of dirt on the ground.
After the old man disappeared, a black figure appeared under the big tree.
That was the back of a young man.
The boy's hair is black, his clothes are black, and his skin is bronze-colored, but his eyebrows are deep and clear, as perfect as Ye Da's. There is a slight delicacy in that kind of divinity, but this kind of delicacy is also vast, that is, the mountains are clear and the water is beautiful, the mountains are layers of rocks, and the water is the vast sea of rivers.
Only his face was exposed, and his limbs were hidden in dark clothes.
He stared at Ning for a long time and asked:
"Have you met my sister?"
Ning Jiujiu nodded: "I've seen her before. Someone told me her name is Shi."
"Yeah." The young man didn't hide anything: "As you said, evil is my name."
"Did you come here specifically to see me?" E asked. He didn't seem to care about poetry.
Ning Jiujiu said: "I came to write the Heavenly Book List, but I... guessed that the evil one might be you."
"Why?" Evil asked again.
Ning Jiujiu said: "Someone told me that the omniscient person must also be known to everyone. Just like no one in the world does not know the existence of the Lord of God, and in Middle Earth... no one knows the existence of the Heavenly List. So I guess that evil is very likely That’s you.”
"Who asked you to come to me?" Evil asked.
Ning Jiujiu said: "I'm not sure if I can tell you this."
Xie didn't ask further questions, and in his current state, he didn't want to get involved in other big secrets.
Ning thought for a long time and then said: "You should have guessed that I am looking for you. Otherwise, you would not let those old people come to receive me."
"Yes." The young man said bluntly: "I actually noticed you as soon as you entered the building. You have an aura that I am very familiar with."
"Familiar scent? What is it?" Ning Jiujiu couldn't help but ask.
Evil said: "I can't be sure who you are, whether you are an enemy or a friend. Just tell me your purpose."
Evil words calm.
Ning Jiujiu couldn't tell whether he was a god, a demon, or some other existence.
Ning looked at the towering ancient trees behind him for a long time and roughly guessed that this should be the source of this young man's power and the key to his omniscience. Ning Jiujiu feels that all mysterious existences in the world have certain myths that can be pursued. But he couldn't think of any related myths about this tree. The only one that might be related was the Sui Bodhi...
However, Sui Bodhi had already changed his name to Yuan Jun and became one of the masters of the Kingdom of Heaven.
"I want to ask questions." Ning Jiujiu said.
Evil said: "You are the first one in five hundred years to find me and call out my real name. I think the person who asked you to find me is also an old monster who has lived for thousands of years."
Old monster... Ning nodded silently for a long time.
Evil said: "Time is limited, I have spent a lot of energy to bring you here. And I can only answer you three questions at most. These three questions cannot involve the existence of the Kingdom of God, otherwise we will all suffer."
Ning Changjiu's heart moved. He was able to ask three questions... He only planned to ask one.
Ning Changjiu's evil eyes were much more pleasing to the eye.
There is no doubt that the first question is the one that the eldest sister asked him to ask.
"What's so unsightly about it?"
His question came out, but he didn't hear his own question.
His voice seemed to be swallowed up.
Evil raised his head silently, staring at him with dark eyes. Those eyes were like the night and the abyss, as if they were ready to take him in at any time.
Ning Jiujiu's spirit froze, and his eyes were instantly filled with black shadows. He had no time to make any defense, and fear surged into his heart without warning. He was clearly in the lucid state, but his mouth and nose seemed to be immersed in water. The air in his lungs was gradually evacuated, and the dizziness of death came over him. His thin body was unable to maintain itself and was about to collapse.
Death has not yet come. Evil withdrew his gaze and said with a sudden meaning: "It turns out that that place is now called unsightly."
Ning calmed down for a long time and did not question anything about the previous encounter. He just asked: "It's not impressive... what was it called before?"
"In the past..." Evil showed a nostalgic look: "That was a long, long time ago. At that time, I called it 'prisoner'."
"Prisoner?" Ning Jiujiu was puzzled.
He said no more evil, and said in an indifferent voice: "It cannot be seen hidden in the Kunlun Heavenly Pillar."
Ning Jiujiu asked: "Where is the Kunlun Heavenly Pillar?"
"Moon Kingdom." Evil said: "The Kunlun Heavenly Pillar was broken three thousand years ago, but the Moon Kingdom is still there. I have cut off the memory of the Moon Kingdom for many years. If you hadn't come today, I wouldn't have known where it would be again. Got a new owner.”
Ning Jiujiu thought to himself, even if you talk about the Moon Country, I don't know how to get there...
But he didn't dare to ask any more nonsense. There was only one last question left. He thought about it for a while and asked: "Where is the road from the human world to the Moon Kingdom?"
Evil said: "The only gate to the Moon Kingdom is hidden in the City of Ten Thousand Demons."
Ning was relieved for a long time and finally got some useful information.
Evil said no more. He stood under the tree, looking at the giant tree in the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ning Jiujiu said sincerely: "Thank you, senior, for clearing up the confusion."
He snorted evilly.
He stood there without any movement.
He didn't say anything, nor did he let Ning leave for a long time.
Ning Jiujiu could sense that he seemed to want to tell her something, but was afraid of it.
"What is your name now, the incommensurable temple master?" Evil finally spoke.
Ning Jiujiu shook his head and said, "I don't know."
After practicing Taoism for twenty-four years, he did not even know the name of his master.
Evil said: "It doesn't matter, you will always see her again in the future. After you see her, help me have a word with her."
Ning Jiujiu frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that this was a huge thing: "What are you talking about?"
"I..." He hesitated, and finally said: "I will tell you a story, and you tell her exactly as it is."
…
…
Ning Jiujiu's consciousness returned to his mind.
Liu Xiwan was still kneeling beside him, conveying sword energy to him and protecting his body.
Suddenly, she withdrew her hand.
"Stop pretending! I saw you move your fingers!" Liu Xiwan understood everything clearly and said righteously.
Ning Jiujiu slowly opened his eyes.
Liu Xiwan looked at him and asked, "How long have you been pretending to sleep?"
Ning didn't answer for a long time. He was still a little confused thinking about the story that evil finally told him.
Ning didn't answer for a long time, but asked softly: "How long...how long have I slept?"
Liu Xiwan said coldly: "You can't even get half a stick of incense."
Ning Jiujiu hummed.
Liu Xiwan looked at his pale face, sighed, and said: "Actually, you can sleep a little longer. Don't worry, I won't leave... You are not allowed to break your promise. When you wake up, tell me how to defeat you. "
Ning closed his eyes for a long time, and his chaotic consciousness slowly calmed down.
"Your senior sister should be very worried about you now." Ning Jiujiu thought of his own disciple and said softly.
Liu Xiwan rubbed her cheek and said slowly: "Don't worry, my senior sister is actually very soft-hearted. She must be angry when I go back now, but if I stay up for two more days, she will worry about my safety and think about my little junior sister." As long as I come back, it doesn’t matter whether I win or lose... Then I can escape unscathed!"
Ning Jiujiu smiled weakly: "Is this how you take advantage of your senior sister?"
Liu Xiwan said distressedly: "I can't help it. My senior sister is usually lawless, so I have no choice but to follow her."
"Your senior sister sounds like an interesting person." Ning Jiujiu said.
The more Liu Xiwan talked, the more resentful she became: "How funny! Huh, the second senior sister is also cruel to us. In front of the senior sister, she is just as obedient, with a low eyebrow and does not dare to speak loudly."
"It's not good to speak ill of someone behind their back." Ning Jiujiu asked softly, "Aren't you afraid that your second senior sister will come and kill you?"
Liu Xiwan said confidently: "Don't worry, Jiange respects the rules of Tianbang. If the second senior sister dares to force herself, I'll see if the senior sister doesn't beat her!"
Liu Xiwan thought about the scene of the second senior sister who was lawless outside and returned to the pavilion to be beaten, and couldn't help but giggle.
Boom, boom, boom.
The wooden door of the command building was suddenly knocked.
The knock on the door was cold.
Liu Xiwan's smile froze instantly.
