Siming stared calmly at the mirror in front of him. Her face was reflected in the smooth mirror. The woman's slender knuckles were clasped on the wooden comb. The water-like robe slipped from her arms and piled up on the crook of her elbow, revealing her delicate and slender figure. With her arms, she held her hair in one hand and held the comb in the other hand, sliding spontaneously, like a boat flowing through the silver river.
Ning looked at her quietly for a long time and found that her hair was slightly wet. A goddess like Siming has spotless skin and clothes, but she still bathes frequently to cleanse her body with pure water.
Ning stared at the fruit bowl for a long time. After looking at it for a while, his eyes quietly glanced around, looking for any traces of fruit peels, but Si Ming obviously got up very early and cleaned everything around him.
Siming noticed that Ning Changjiu was awake, but she turned a blind eye.
Last night, he grabbed her hand and held it for half the night. From time to time, he said some strange words in his mouth, which made her very angry. So after Ning Changjiu's nightmare calmed down, she made an exception and used the water outside the Tianhe Sacred Waterfall and the Deep Spring in the Valley. Shui Di massaged his body.
Ning wanted to speak for a long time, then Si Ming asked: "What is your relationship with Liu Xiwan?"
Ning Jiujiu was shocked and asked cautiously: "I... did I say anything last night?"
Siming glanced at his face, the corners of his lips tilted up, and a look of disappointment appeared in his ice eyes.
She was almost certain at this moment that what Ning Changjiu had had last night was a dream... There were many fairies in the City of Ten Thousand Monsters, and they had been walking through the mountains and forests for a long time. Perhaps they had been contaminated by some unknown evil thing, which aroused the emotions deep in their hearts. Long-cherished wish... It's not a big deal, but it's just that I have no intention of getting involved in this at the peak of the Purple Court Realm. It's always embarrassing to say it out.
What's more... his long-cherished wish turned out to be...
Siming narrowed her narrow icy eyes with disdain. The tip of her tongue touched her lips and swept slowly. Her soft lips were stained with moist pearls. She looked at Ning Changjiu with a half-smile. , said: "You don't know what you dreamed about? Are you still asking me? Are you... feeling guilty?"
Ning Jiujiu lowered his head, leaning against the bed wall, gently pressing his head with his hand, recalling last night's dream.
In the dream, he returned to the Invisible Realm.
The sight was shrouded in the dark night and faint light. He stood in front of the temple and looked down. In Dahe Town, the lanterns slowly floated up and flew into the night sky, becoming the embellishment of Hanyue Jade Palace.
Everything is the same as before.
Ning Jiujiu realized that he was in a dream. He hadn't had such a dream for a long time, so he wasn't in a hurry to wake up.
Then, he raised his head. Among the 30,000 hectares of Qiongtian, a jade mirror hung high, and the familiar green silk and white clothes floated in his eyes.
"Master..." Ning Changjiu felt a chill in his heart.
But I saw the master's ethereal figure standing up slowly in the moonlight. She seemed to be standing on a silver stage in the Jade Cloud Toad Palace, turning the laurel into a sword and turning around lightly.
"Master..." Ning Jiujiu suddenly realized that he couldn't remember her name.
Inner demon!
He realized it immediately.
In the inner demon tribulation of the Purple Court Realm, his inner demon was Jiu Ying. But he knows that his real inner demon will always be the night of the full moon in his previous life, when the door to the contemplation opened, the master came out with a sword, and cut off his path to immortality and ascension with one sword.
But the inner demon calamity could not reflect the real secret, so Jiu Ying was chosen.
Could it be...this is his opportunity to step into the Five Paths!
Ning Jiujiu was shocked. Although he was already at the peak of Ziting, this opportunity still came too suddenly. Mysterious and mysterious insights rose in the sea of consciousness. His heart trembled. When the master drew his sword and turned around, he also drew the sword behind him. His expression was solemn.
Since it is the inner demon.
Since it is a dream.
Then I will kill the inner demon in my dream!
As soon as this thought came up, the spiritual power in his body immediately burst out unstoppably, setting off the sound of mountains and tsunamis, the vibrating robes exploded with thunderous sounds, and the flying long hair danced like a violent wind!
This kind of power... Ning held the sword for a long time and raised his head suddenly. He immediately realized that he had returned to the peak of his previous life.
This is the top of the Five Paths, a half-step legend! The road is close at hand!
Ning Jiujiu felt the power in his body. He was confident that as long as he held this sword, he could kill all the inner demons!
The young man drew his sword, flew through the air amidst the thunder, and slashed towards the moon.
The ending is also conceivable.
Ning Jiujiu, like Si Ming, was endowed with power beyond the peak, but he was still beaten by the shadow in the moon and was unable to fight back.
A few hours later, Ning Jiujiu knelt on one knee, panting and holding his sword. He raised his head with difficulty, staring at the figure, as if he had returned to his previous life, and his sword was almost unsteady in despair.
Being unable to defeat the Master is not despair, and being unable to defeat one's inner demons is not a real nightmare.
The scariest thing is...
The sound of the wooden door rubbing against the ground rang in my ears. It was the sound of the gate opening.
Ning Chang looked back and saw a scene that made his heart tremble and his scalp explode!
The disciples in the temple came out.
But the first one to come out... was actually Zhao Xianger!
Xiang'er was wearing a red dress that he had never seen before. Her exquisite face was indescribably delicate and fairy-like. Her intricately braided ink hair and crown as fine as gold made her temperament appear majestic and sacred. .
She walked down the stairs, her red dress trailing to the ground, and she raised her head slightly. In her black and white eyes, only the moon was reflected.
Then, a beautiful figure with black hair and white clothes and an ancient sword on her waist walked out from behind her. The woman's face was soft and cold, and her figure was graceful and graceful, like a lotus in a jade pond, a powerful sword, or a jade or a rainbow. It's Lu Marion!
"Marry... Xiang'er..." Ning Jiujiu whispered softly, with an ominous premonition.
Zhao Xiang'er and Lu Yuanjian stood under the moonlight filled with lanterns. Zhao Xiang'er took out the red umbrella, and Lu Yuanjian pulled out the Minglan.
"Xiang'er... Marry..."
Ning Jiujiu's eyes widened, and he saw the silver-haired Si Ming in ink robe slowly walking out of the view holding jade feet. She was wearing a divine robe outlined with silver patterns, her jade face was like a god, and she seemed to be riding the wind at any time.
"Snow porcelain..."
Ning Jiujiu didn't understand what was going on.
Why did senior brothers and sisters become...
Then, Ning Xiaoling also walked out of the view. She was no longer a little fox, but returned to her original charming and charming appearance. She raised her head, her face was as cold as her master, and the moonlight illuminated her.
Behind her, stood a woman dressed in red. The woman was very beautiful and cold. She was holding a sword, like a blood-stained ghost after a killing. Ning was stunned for a long time before he recognized that she was Shao Xiaoli. At this moment, her temperament is similar to that of Xiang'er, but she is as tall as the sky and as close to the springs.
Then there was a beautiful girl with short hair and tight clothes, who looked a bit unruly and arrogant.
It was Liu Xiwan who had just parted ways.
They all drew their swords. Especially Liu Xiwan's silver sword, which is far away from her, but has a mysterious resonance.
Ning Jiujiu whispered their names softly.
Finally, another young man in white walked out of the view—it was him!
Ning Jiujiu realized that this was a dream, otherwise how could it be a global perspective? He also tried his best to convince himself that this was a dream. because…
These women who were so deeply bound to him that they even dreamed of him began to ascend with swords!
Ascend…
"Don't ascend... don't ascend!" Ning Jiujiu thought of the miserable situation of the dragon bearer. He knew it was a dream, but he still shouted with tears in his eyes and heartbroken.
But they couldn't hear it.
They flew towards the moon, obviously moving closer to them, but more like moving away.
Between shock and numbness, a sword passed through his chest. He realized it later.
That is Master's sword.
The dream is broken.
After Ning Jiujiu woke up, looking at Si Ming's figure, he felt infinite peace of mind - luckily it was just a dream.
Strange, how could I dream of such a scene
Is the inner demon deep in my consciousness already so stubborn? Or maybe I was close to her, so I couldn't help but think of the shadow that couldn't be erased... After all, I was too worried.
"Why don't you answer? You must have forgotten what you dreamed about, right?" Siming asked with a smile.
Ning Jiujiu said vaguely: "I really can't remember clearly."
Siming sneered, confirming his thoughts.
Sure enough, it was a dream worth a thousand dollars at that moment, and there were so many people in the dream... Oh, everyone is treated equally, and all comers are welcome!
Siming thought this and almost used the comb as a sword to hit Ning Changjiu's chest.
Ning Jiujiu said: "Perhaps I have some kind of nightmare. From now on... I have to be more careful. Don't let it be too much."
"Yeah." Si Ming responded perfunctorily, determined in his heart that that was Ning Jiujiu's poor excuse.
Ning Jiu saw her bad attitude and thought he had done something wrong last night. He looked at the straight red line and asked, "This line has never been touched. I shouldn't have done anything extraordinary last night, right?"
Siming's hand was held all night and she was angry, but Ning Jiujiu asked, and she couldn't tell the truth, otherwise it would be too embarrassing. After all, she clearly had a chance to break away. After that, he could only pull the red thread meticulously to hide it... Thinking of this, Si Ming felt even more aggrieved!
"How dare you want to blaspheme the gods? It's such a wishful thinking!"
She slammed the wooden comb on the table, making the mirror tremble.
Ning Jiujiu was shocked and didn't dare to ask any more questions. He stood up and put on his outer clothes, walked behind Siming, took the wooden comb and slipped it into his silver hair.
Ning took a long look at the fruit plate and then looked away without asking anything.
Her silver hair was combed meticulously.
Siming stood up slowly and said coldly: "If you book an inn in the future and you dare to choose a hotel with only one bed, I will nail you to the ceiling to sleep!"
Ning Jiujiu always felt that he had done something bad at night. Out of guilt, he did not refute her vicious words.
Rolling up the map, the two went out and began searching in the inner city of Ten Thousand Demons City.
Ning Changjiu and Siming walked around Baoxiang Mountain where they were, but saw nothing. Ning Changjiu was confused by the prosperity of Baoxiang Mountain.
I saw that the foothills of Baoxiang Mountain were covered with green pines and cypresses, shrouded in auspicious auspicious mist. Below, there was flowing water like a ribbon, and the distant mountains were like rolls. On the top of the mountain, several majestic halls are covered with gold foil, like the Jade Sky Tower, shining with golden light. Beyond the golden steps of the Jade Palace, six halls and six palaces are lined up neatly, looking like towers of magic weapons in the sun. In the center of the mountain, there is an image of a gray wolf holding a mace and wearing a yellow robe.
"It's just whitewashing the peace." Siming dismissed the Baoxiang Mountain.
The two left Baoxiang Mountain. Ning Jiujiu opened his sword eyes and looked back. There were no temples or palaces anywhere. At a glance, he could see the dark mountain gates and caves.
At the foot of the mountain, the two met a pair of goblins chasing each other. They were two little wolf goblins. The one running in front was much leaner, holding a struggling gray rabbit in its mouth. The one chasing behind was stronger. He jumped up behind the wolf monster in front of him with a few steps and threw him to the ground. The gray rabbit was frightened and ran away, but was grabbed and held down by the wild wolf. His sharp claws sank in, killing him instantly.
The smaller wolf was lying on the ground, skinny as a stick, dying. It thought about the cubs at home, showing despair. The larger wolf looked at it, showing greed again. It didn't mind killing. Dead same kind.
Suddenly, a tiger howled again in the forest. The wild wolf was startled, picked up the rabbit and left immediately. However, the other wolf also failed to survive. Its bones were broken. After walking a few steps, it staggered and fell. He also failed to get up.
Ning stood in front of the wolf demon for a long time, sighed and asked: "Is this the so-called pure land of ten thousand demons?"
Siming said: "They were born here, how can they get out?"
"What will happen if we escape?" Ning Changjiu asked.
"Curse." Siming said without saying more.
Ning Jiujiu couldn't help but think of the corpses of the two monsters on the Wuxinghailou ship, and shook his head slightly.
In the forest, a whooshing sound sounded, and a silver-gray owl fluttered its wings. The hungry tiger shook its rugged bones, and some figures emerged from the mountain forest. On the high cliff in the distance, the leopard was looking and looking for Following the traces of prey, where they are, dense forests and plains are mixed. The atmosphere in the entire forest valley is moist and the color is dim.
The people living under these major mountain peaks are all monsters with undeveloped spiritual intelligence or vicious minds. They are not qualified to live on the top of the mountain. They can only live a life here of eating hair and drinking blood, and life and death are unpredictable.
The distance between Baoxiang Mountain and Shituo Mountain is not too far. Along the way, Ning Jiujiu saw several burned-down ancestral halls. There were no statues of gods and Buddhas in the ancestral halls. There were many little monsters crowded in the ancestral halls. They occupied the Buddhist halls and separated one room after another. Accommodate one's own house and live in crowds.
The monsters that can live in these ancestral halls are already quite powerful.
After they enter the Mysterious Realm, they can fight for the qualification to live on the peak.
After walking through the dark green mountain road, Ning Jiujiu heard the crisp sound of gongs. He raised his head and saw a hill standing in front of him. The hill was named Xunfeng Peak. There was a little goblin on the peak, beating gongs and drums and singing songs. Behind the peak is the famous Shituo Mountain.
Siming's voice flashed and he came behind the little goblin patrolling the mountain. He stunned it with a finger in the air and searched for information in its sea of consciousness.
Si Ming floated to Ning Changjiu's side and said: "There are two demons on the lion's hump, a green lion and a white elephant. According to the memory of the little demon, these two demons were once extremely vicious demons. Before they were about to invade a city, Si Ming floated to Ning Changjiu. At this time, I received enlightenment from the saints and did not enter the devil's way."
"However, that green lion doesn't seem to have nine heads." Siming added.
Ning Jiujiu didn't care about this, after all, the turtle didn't seem to care about it.
The two climbed onto the Lion's Hump.
Under the lion's hump, there are many broken statues of gods and Buddhas scattered everywhere. Going up the stone steps, halfway up, the view becomes much brighter. There are still several temples here, but they are all dedicated to monsters. This is different from the ghost temples outside. The gods in the temple are merciful and harmless to humans and animals, but they just do nothing.
Ning Jiujiu suddenly stopped and looked towards an old temple among the flags and flags.
In front of the temple, a monkey with his face covered with paper charms sat cross-legged and muttered something.
When he saw Ning Changjiu, his expression brightened, and he immediately said: "Guest, it's you again. There are many dangers in Lion Hump here. Do you want to come and have a hexagram?"
Ning Jiujiu recognized it. It was the docked monkey that was vying to be the guide at the door.
Ning looked at it for a long time, dressed in a torn Taoist robe and holding a bamboo stick bucket, and wondered: "I didn't expect you to be such a magic stick."
The little monkey grinned and said: "How can you say that? Although I am forced by life, I really have unique skills... Guests, come and have a divination. Finish the divination quickly. I have to go back to the outer city. I'm performing a fire hoop dance with my brother."
Ning Jiujiu looked at this monkey that had multiple jobs, glanced at Si Ming, and asked, "Want to tell fortunes?"
The little monkey immediately said: "I think this is a good match!"
Si Ming looked stern and was about to have an attack. Ning looked at the little monkey for a long time and immediately asked: "Is there anything else besides marriage?"
The little monkey asked tentatively: "What do you want to do?"
Ning Jiujiu had completely lost trust in him. This little monster, who looked like an ape but was not an ape, looked like a monkey but was not a monkey, had mediocre bones and average talent. He was presumably a low-level monster in the City of Ten Thousand Monsters, only better than those uncivilized monsters living in the woods and mountains. The beast is stronger.
Ning Changjiu thought it was just charity. He threw a few copper coins to the monkey demon with its tail cut off and said, "Just ask for the root of the lottery."
"Okay! Guest, close your eyes and think about what you are most concerned about now." The monkey demon took a few coins with a smile on his face, his eyes were shining, and he immediately sat upright, closed his eyes and cast lots, muttering something in his mouth.
Ning closed his eyes and thought for a while, then pressed his sleeves and drew a lot. When I stood it up and took a look, I saw the signature saying:
Ask for the white deer for longevity and boundless longevity, and ask for the jade toad for immortality.
Ning looked at this scripture for a long time, puzzled.
White deer, jade toad
The latter may have some explanation, which can be related to the master. What is the white deer
The little monkey rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Guest, would you like to unravel the lot? It's cheaper for me to unravel the lot than to draw the lot..."
Si Ming listened to the signature, but there was a look of disappointment on her face. She said coldly: "Such a swindler and a liar, they are so eager to take advantage of them, why bother with them?"
The little monkey knew that this was an evil star that he didn't dare to mess with, so he had no choice but to beg for mercy with a smile on his face and clasped his fists.
Ning Changjiu had no choice but to say: "No need, the sign is a good one, I can just solve it myself."
With that said, he put away the bamboo stick.
After they left, the little monkey took off his hat, patted his chest, and breathed a sigh of relief. He took out the few copper coins from his sleeve, bit them, and was overjoyed. These coins were enough for him to jump through the seven-day fire ring. You can't earn it. Hey, people from outside are easier to deceive. Everything went wrong before, but now things are about to change
The little monkey carefully collected the copper coins, immediately changed his clothes, wandered between the trees, and headed towards the outer city.
On the way, it was humming a song and was so carried away that it did not notice the giant python dormant in the tree.
It was too late when it discovered it, and the giant python's head shot out, opening its bloody mouth and biting at the monkey demon.
Although the giant python has not yet become a spirit, its strength and speed are astonishing. If it were an ordinary monkey, it would have died instantly. But fortunately, the little monkey still has some demon power. He used enough spiritual power to protect his body and collided with the giant python. His body was completely destroyed. He was knocked out and had to pull several rattan sticks to stabilize himself. However, the copper coins in his sleeves that were still warm were scattered along with a tube of bamboo sticks, and they fell into the quagmire and slowly sank.
The little monkey squatted on the tree trunk, with its mouth wide open. Its demonic eyes stared downward, watching several crocodiles rolling in the mire, and its heart was beating fast.
It was stunned for a long time, then laughed miserably.
The old demon who gave him the bamboo stick in the first place really didn't lie to him. Disasters, misfortune, unsatisfactory life... No matter how the world turns around, this is the fate that you cannot escape.
With this thought, it wanted to jump directly into the quagmire and become a meal for those crocodiles, but I didn't know what came to mind. It sighed longly, gritted its teeth, wiped its eyes, cursed the giant python in its mouth, and rolled up Torn clothes, taking a detour.
It looked at the dense jungle wilderness with despair. It finally made it to the outer city. The performance had already begun, but it was still late for the spot it had finally fought for. The foreman's hundred-faced demon fox stared at it and said: " What are you doing here now? Are you causing trouble?"
The monkey demon touched its hungry belly. Just when the hundred-faced fox demon was about to slap it away, it said seriously: "Great Immortal, give me another chance. I... I can make people happy!"
The hundred-faced fox demon looked at it with a sneer.
"What if I can't?"
"If I can't, I will perform a knife-stomping show!" the monkey demon swore.
On the stage, the fire ring has been set up, and there are countless guests below, including local famous demons and many businessmen and practitioners who are doing business outside.
The first few monkeys jumped over the fire ring smoothly and won a lot of applause.
The broken-tailed monkey demon also jumped up. It staggered a few steps and came to the fire ring.
"Where did the wild monkey come from? It's unsteady when walking."
"The monkey's tail maintains balance. Of course it will be unstable if it is broken."
"Can this wild monkey jump through fire hoops? Don't be burned into a roasted monkey."
I saw the monkey demon scratching its head and twirling its ears on the stage, looking around, quite afraid of the fire ring. It screamed a few times, obviously not yet civilized, and wanted to escape, but was pulled back by the tamer. , with a few whips, it rolled all over the floor. The monkey demon held its head and whined, as if begging for mercy. It staggered up and came to the fire ring again.
Many previously indifferent guests were aroused by this scene and wondered whether this little monkey could act.
The monkey demon looked up at the fire ring, jumped up, barely managed to jump over the first one, fell to the ground, struggled a bit before he jumped up unsteadily.
There was sparse cheers from the audience. The monkey demon puffed up its cheeks and jumped four fire hoops in a row, earning lukewarm cheers from the audience. In front of the last and highest fire ring, the monkey demon paused for a while. It closed its eyes and gritted its teeth. It jumped up suddenly and hugged its legs in the air. The posture was weird. Although its body passed the fire ring, its buttocks was unfortunately burned. .
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Its hair ignited, and it screamed loudly. After landing, it violently threw the fire on its buttocks, running around the stage, screaming in agony.
There was constant applause and cheers from the audience.
Backstage, the fire from the monkey's butt hit the face, only scorching a large area of hair. The Hundred-faced Fox looked at it and nodded gently: "Well, this time was not bad. I won't hold you accountable for being late. If you dare to delay next time, I'll see if I don't skin you!"
"I don't dare. I don't dare. Thank you Master Fox Fairy for giving me the opportunity." The little monkey demon slave Yan bowed humbly.
The hundred-faced fox shook out a few coins from the folding fan and rewarded it. The monkey demon looked at the applause from the audience before, looked at the pitiful money in the palm, worshiped the fox demon like a Bodhisattva, and left alone. .
It walked down the street dejectedly, fearing that it would lose its money again, so it spent all its money and bought three warm steamed buns. It stared at it for a while and said to itself: "Three steamed buns, one for each of the two cubs. I still have one left... Finally something good happened today."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a few theatergoers walking out, staring at the monkey. There was silence between the two.
"Okay, it turns out it's not a wild monkey!"
"How dare you act and tease us!"
"You even rewarded me with money!"
"Catch it!"
The monkey demon with low magic power was startled and ran away.
…
When it stumbled back to its small cave, the monkey demon was exhausted. It wiped its face covered with dust and blood, looked at the two steamed buns left in its arms, touched its empty belly, and suppressed choking. , spent a long time forcing out a smile and returned to the cave.
"Coming out." It shouted at the top of its voice.
Two little monkeys stuck their heads out, observed it for a while, then ran out, clustered under its knees, and screamed.
"Stop the quarrel, stop the quarrel, you two annoying people." The monkey demon laughed and scolded, looking at the two little monkeys he had picked up, and handed the two steamed buns to them one by one, and said with a smile: "The steamed buns are still warm. It's delicious. Hey, don't look at me like this. I've had enough to eat outside. My dad also hunted a big snake today. But when he skinned the snake and roasted it, he accidentally burned his buttocks. My dad has great powers. , it’s okay, you are still young and can’t eat meat. When you grow up, daddy will cut some snake meat for you, it will taste delicious, hehe.”
The little monkeys had also been hungry all day. When they heard what the monkey demon said, they immediately started to eat hungrily.
The monkey demon looked at them and smiled happily.
"Don't worry about Daddy. Daddy just went hunting..." The monkey demon touched their heads and said softly: "Although Daddy has great magical powers, as long as he is hunting, there is always a possibility of failure. Just in case, I say just in case. Ah... When this city collapses one day, I want you to run, but you must never look back."
