Beyond the Divine States

Chapter 379: The foggy courtyard is filled with old stories and new accounts

Views:

Broken Boundary City.

There was a discordant light in the sky.

The light was dizzy like water stains, and the thin canopy looked more like white paper contaminated by dirty water, which could be broken by just scraping it with a fingernail.

This is not a metaphor, because the Broken Boundary City is originally in the Secret Scripture of Shanhai Cangliu. This was the world in the book of the Headless God. The world is a connected page.

On the barren mountain far away from the Broken Boundary City, 'Shao Xiaoli' held a jade branch glowing with white light, his body floating lightly.

Bai Zang's body is also floating in the nearby sky and earth.

"Is this transformed by the authority of the 'world'? Suzaku indeed betrayed." Bai Zang said, looking at the high sky.

Shao Xiaoli's eyes were like moonlight. At this moment, she was temporarily attached to Ye Chan Palace, and the words that came out of her lips were also the master's clear fairy voice.

Ye Changong said through Shao Xiaoli's body: "I have never been loyal, so there is no need to betray."

Bai Zang asked indifferently: "I still don't understand why Suzaku is willing to hand over Xihe's soul to you. What exactly did you promise?"

Ye Changong asked: "What do you think I can promise her?"

"I don't know Suzaku." Bai Zang said: "But I know that she has been coveting Xi He's true ability for many years."

As for what Xi He's true abilities are, this involves a big secret between the kings of the country. They will also hide it from each other, so Bai Zang has no way of knowing.

Of course Ye Changong would not tell her, but said calmly: "Suzaku and you are not the same kind of people."

"Of course not." Bai Zang said coldly: "Suzaku betrayed the Six Gods first, and now he is betraying Heaven. Although I don't know the agreement between you, one day, you will also be betrayed."

Ye Changong's voice was as thin as mist: "I don't care, you know, my target has never been you, nor any king."

Bai Zang knew what she was thinking. She wanted to overthrow the law of heaven and prevent the coming of the black sun.

This is something my father has done before and failed.

Bai Zang did not feel that he was insulted, but said indifferently: "Your words may have scared me five hundred years ago, but now they only make people laugh."

Ye Changong said: "Your arrogance comes from your supposed omniscience. This is the reason for the death of many gods."

Bai Zang said nothing.

They seemed to be just talking, but from time to time, some beautiful sparks exploded between them. These sparks sometimes bloomed on their shoulders and sometimes dissipated in their skirts. They were rare things in the world that could match their beauty.

This is an invisible collision of power between the two.

What's even more amazing is that as the two of them walked, all the mountains and snow-capped mountains they walked through became smaller invisibly. From their perspective, the mountains that were originally graceful were slowly flattening.

It's as if the world is being pressed into the book and turned into pictures of mountains and seas.

Bai Zang looked down and said, "Is this where the sword of your third disciple was born?"

Ye Changong hummed and said in a clear voice, "Do you also covet this thing?"

Bai Zang showed a rare smile, and there was indescribable arrogance in this smile: "In the past thousand years, the gods have fallen, and all powerful enemies have died. You are just a lonely person. Everything in the world belongs to me. Why? Talk about coveting?”

Ye Changong looked at the gradually flattening mountains and rivers below and remained silent.

She gently held the moon branch, and her figure standing in the sky was like a bright moonlight.

"Two years ago, Lord Sin came here and was defeated by my disciple, and it is the same today." Ye Changong said.

Bai Zang looked up at the chaotic and empty sky and said, "Disciple? Oh, can you really call him your disciple with peace of mind?"

Ye Changong said: "I don't care."

Bai Zang said: "Don't you care? He did so many things for you, and was finally driven to the end by the gods and killed by Quanfu. Do you really not care?"

Bai Zang turned her head, her petite and indifferent face seemed to be shaped by frost and snow. Her head was covered with snow silk, her snow lips did not move, but her voice was like a wind knife and frost sword falling from the sky. She asked again:

"Are you deceiving yourself or others? Immortal Lord Chang'e!"

Immortal Lord Chang'e.

Ye Changong listened to this ancient title, with a look of nostalgia in his moonlight-filled eyes.

This is her divine name when the Dark Lord first comes, covering the sky, and the gods, demons and ancient immortals are fighting in the world.

It’s just that many ancient gods from the beginning didn’t know that before Immortal Chang’e, she was the palace master of the Moon Palace, Chang Xi.

In the era when the Dark Lord first came, the real light and starry sky were obscured. They established bonds through the loopholes in the Sea of Reincarnation, reincarnated as humans, gradually awakened their divinity with their flesh and blood bodies, and participated in the earth-shattering battle between gods. Try to change everything.

Although in the end, they ushered in a tragic failure.

To her, that failure was a thing of the past more than 3,500 years ago.

"No one has called me that for a long time." Ye Changong said.

She is Chang Xi, she is Ye Chan Palace, she is the Master of Invisibility, and she was also the Immortal Lord Chang'e.

"No one has forgotten you." Bai Zang said, "We have not. Your story has always been circulated in the world."

Ye Changong smiled softly and said: "Is Chang'e flying to the moon?"

There are also places where the word "姮" is taboo and pronounced as "Chang'e".

This is the most famous story left in the world by Ye Chan Palace.

"Yes." Bai Zang looked at the dead branch in her hand and said: "There were many rumors at the beginning. Some said that you and he were killed by Quanfu. Some said that you were hiding in the core of the earth. The one that most people said was you. Escape to the moon..."

Ye Changong said: "They are all just stories."

"Yes, you are indeed very smart." Bai Zang's calm words seemed to contain boiling silver, "The story of Chang'e flying to the moon is so famous that many gods, including me, believe it. I have been deceived by you for thousands of years..."

Ye Changong lowered his head and said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.

Bai Zang continued: "Three thousand and five hundred years ago, Yi died, and Huanfu became the first person to become a god. After that, all the spirits fought for the gods, and started an era of chaos for hundreds of years. At that time, we all thought you were dead long ago. I had no time to care about you until you came out of nowhere during the battle of gods five hundred years ago..."

"These three thousand years are a blank slate in your existence, so I am extremely curious as to where you have been during these three thousand years."

Bai Zang stared at her and asked indifferently.

Ye Changong did not answer, but asked: "Why don't you believe the legend of me flying to the moon?"

Bai Zang's snowflakes flew into the mist, and the space was sealed by her dust, breaking into countless ice crystals, caged in her sleeves, "The sky has been closed for a long time. If you had the ability to leave, how could you die in the armrest back then? In fact, You never left this world, right?"

The sky has long been sealed, and the Kunlun Divine Pillar was something that Ye Chan Palace took the opportunity to open up five hundred years ago when the saint launched a divine war and caused chaos in the world.

Ye Changong coughed lightly, and his face became paler.

The wind blows from the front, it is the wind of time, blowing on the cheek always brings out many sad emotions.

They seemed to be chatting, but while they were talking, the two of them were getting further and further away from the ground, and getting closer and closer to the sky.

Bai Zangzai is trying to ascend to the sky, break through the virtual realm, and go to the kingdom of the headless god.

And Ye Changong has been blocking her.

They did not confront each other with swords, but collided with pure power of authority.

Her authority was 'dusted away' one by one.

After obtaining Tianzang's divine heart, Bai Zang's divine power has reached a new level. However, Ye Chan Palace has reversed the world for twelve years, and the wear and tear is too great. It seems that she can't stop Bai Zang's progress.

"Even if the story about flying to the moon and ascending to the moon is false, what impact will it have?" Ye Changong had been retreating, but her words still made no waves.

"It has no impact." Bai Zang climbed up to the sky step by step. The ground became flatter and flatter, and the sky got closer and closer to her. "It's just that he appeared out of nowhere and created this headless god that frightened the gods. It is indeed very powerful. , but that’s all.”

Bai Zang paused and sighed: "What can this change? Not to mention the Dark Lord, even if there are still eleven divine kingdoms, Yi and Monk Xi are young, the saint is about to die, and you are also weak. The original one who defied heaven It's already dusk, the sunset has arrived, the dark sun is approaching, there is no point in struggling in vain, you all deserve to die."

Her words were mixed with pride and remembrance, getting louder and louder, echoing in the thin air in the sky.

Also returning with it was Ye Changong's cough.

She was indeed extremely weak.

If Bai Zang hadn't secretly wounded Bai Zang with his sword earlier, Bai Zang might have reached the virtual realm at this moment.

The wind of time blows continuously.

Where they were, time flowed dozens of times faster than in the outside world.

There is still one month left in the Bai Zang Year.

It was enough for her.

Ye Changong kept exerting her authority, trying to block Bai Zang's way, but Bai Zang's 'Chen Feng' even merged with the power of many Tian Zang's 'Hengkai', extinguishing her authority again and again.

Ye Changong's beauty is as beautiful as snow, and the slender moon outlined behind her is even more hazy, but she is still so calm, "Everything is still within my trajectory. It's not too late for you to leave now."

"An ancient strategy like the Empty City Strategy has no effect on me." Bai Zang said, once again extinguishing her authority: "The authority of the Moon Palace is too gentle. It's hard for me to imagine how the Headless God was killed by you in the first place. .”

The authority of the Moon Palace is 'dream'.

When night falls, the moonlight all over the sky becomes the entire world of dreams.

Ye Changong said: "The authority of the Seventh God is life, the authority of the Moon Palace is dreams, and the authority of the Ancient Sun Kingdom is Changming... Before you brought chaos, the world would have been gentle."

It's a pity that protecting a country cannot rely on gentleness, but on strength.

The 'dream' of Ye Chan Palace is getting thinner and thinner, just like the increasingly inconspicuous moon in the sky when the sky is about to light up.

Bai Zang recalled: "Back then, you were recognized by the Ancient Moon Palace, and you, the Dark Lord, regarded you as someone who must be killed. I once thought that you would really change something."

Ye Changong smiled faintly.

The recognition of the ancient moon palace... Of course I recognize it.

The sky is getting closer and closer, and the flow of time is getting faster and faster.

Behind the chaotic sky, the shadow of the virtual realm has revealed a corner, which is the infinite spreading darkness.

While reminiscing about the past, they walked toward the sky, just like the legendary story of Chang'e flying to the moon.

The story ended abruptly.

Ye Changong held the moon branch and covered her lips. Her figure appeared vaguely on Shao Xiaoli's body. Xiaoli's lips were flying in the air. Because of the moonlight, she who was once the Goddess of Luo was even more radiant at this moment. Incomparable beauty.

Bai Zang's eyes brightened.

She thought she understood, and said with a smile: "Are you finally planning to take action... Time flows faster here, you want to drag my years away, right? I must have used this method when Chu Yi fought against Sin Lord, right? ?”

Bai Zang will not let it succeed again using the same method.

The shadow of Ye Chan Palace's green silk stockings and white clothes is like the thin moon, looking sickly.

She held the moon branch and brushed it gently. The silver light spread out like water and enveloped the sky.

"I just don't want to hurt the people below." Ye Changong said.

Bai Zang looked at her quietly and said, "They are all Yi's tribe, right? It turns out that you woke up more than a thousand years ago..."

"Well, I've been awake for a long time."

As Ye Changong spoke, her temperament changed little by little, and her already ethereal figure became even more insubstantial.

Bai Zang looked at her, nodded and said, "You have indeed accommodated the authority of the Headless God."

This was no secret, she had already thought of it.

Unfortunately, the authority is not complete.

Bai Zang's slender body tensed.

All around her, space and time were sealed in dust, and the collapsing void enveloped her. She was like a snow-white fish, floating here, and every piece of debris spinning around her was a knife she could hold in her hand.

Ye Changong didn't answer her again.

She stared at Yuezhi, extremely serious.

This is her sword.

It had been many, many years since she had actually held a sword, but she had never forgotten these moves.

She waved her sword gently, and the moonlight was like silver, passing through it.

In the sky that had been silent for two years in Broken Boundary City, this unknown divine war began quietly.

In the human world, the sun and the moon flow, day and night alternate.

The figures of Ning Changjiu and Siming flew across the sky. As the sun rose and the moon set, their figures did not appear lonely under the vast sky.

The world was eerily quiet, and there was no sound.

I don’t know how Ji Xuan, Jiuling Yuan Sheng, Bai Ze and the Sword Master will win in the battle.

Siming tried to sense the world and could only confirm that they fled to the northeast.

That is the direction of Xuanhai Tower.

There are four divine towers between heaven and earth. Except for the divine painting tower of the third senior brother, the other three towers of Luoshu, Piaomiao and Xuanhai are all ordered by the way of heaven.

If the Sword Master is allowed to escape to Xuanhai Tower, this pursuit may end without any success.

But this is no longer what Ning Chang cares about.

At this moment, he just wanted to hand over the Yu Lei Sword to Xiao Ling as soon as possible, help her get her body back, and then regret it with Si Ming, and then go to Nanzhou, return to Duanjie City, and complete the agreement with his master.

Since entering Zhongtu, he has never stopped running.

Si Ming is also worried about these things.

But other than that, she was very upset about being completely suppressed by Zhao Xiang'er two days ago. Although Siming was grateful for her timely appearance, in the past two years, she had always regarded Zhao Xiang'er as an enemy of the road. , now that she kept calling her enemy sister, she felt uncomfortable no matter what.

"Ning Changjiu!" Si Ming said coldly.

"What's wrong?" Ning Jiujiu was slightly shocked.

Siming said: "Tell me the story of you and her in the previous life."

She wanted to find some of Zhao Xiang'er's weaknesses.

Ning was stunned for a long time and asked tentatively: "Which version do you want to listen to?"

"..." Siming took a deep breath and said angrily: "Are you still trying to trick me with false stories?"

Ning Changjiu apologized slightly: "It's all very far away. I can't remember clearly. There are different opinions. I don't know which version is true and which version is false."

Siming looked at him distrustfully and asked, "Although you are not very good now, you should have been considered a hero in your previous life. Zhao Xianger has such a bad character. What do you like about her?"

Ning thought for a long time and asked: "Then what do you like about me?"

"I..." Si Ming was speechless. She frowned and said with an angry expression, "You know how to bully me! If you have the ability, go challenge Zhao Xiang'er."

Ning Changjiu said: "Then you should also question Xiang'er."

“…”

The two looked at each other sympathetically for a while.

Siming secretly thought that if there is a chance in the future, he must write a new legend to discredit their past!

In these three days, they barely rested, eating and drinking and running all the way.

Siming pursed his lips, thinking about many things.

Every time when life and death were separated, she could clearly see her own feelings, and secretly vowed that if she could survive this disaster, she would express it.

But after truly getting over it, Siming's mood will become complicated again.

She didn't think this was the shyness of a little daughter, she called this mentality the elusiveness of the gods.

They flew through the sky hand in hand.

In the early morning of the third day, Gu Ling Sect finally outlined its outline in their eyes.

Si Ming and Ning looked at each other for a long time and smiled, feeling extremely at ease.

For them, the Ancient Spirit Sect is just a foreign land where they live temporarily, but after living there in the winter and traveling for several months now, they have already regarded this place as their home in their hearts.

I have traveled far and wide, and now I have finally returned home. My chaotic mind has finally been swept away by the morning breeze, and I have gradually become peaceful.

They arrived at the gate of Gu Ling Sect.

Gu Ling Sect was shrouded in morning mist. The walls were still intact and the houses were still neat. Nothing happened. This made them feel more relieved.

The two fell silently outside the chain bridge.

They looked at each other for a while, holding hands as if they were apart. After hesitation, they temporarily let go, and just walked side by side on the bridge across Youyue Lake.

When the knock on the door of Jiuyou Palace rang, Lu Jiaojian was sweeping flowers in the courtyard.

The petals of the flowers were filled with dew, and the dew wetted her dress.

Lu Marry's figure is so beautiful that it's hard to describe.

She had been waiting for them too.

There was a sudden knock on the door, and Lu Marry's figure stopped.

The morning fog in the courtyard slowly dispersed.

The door slowly opened.

Lu Marry raised her head and stared blankly ahead.

"Why did you come back?" Lu Marian looked at the young man and woman standing outside the door, her eyes curled up, her hair pulled over her ears, and she asked softly.

Ning looked at Lu Wenwen's figure for a long time, remembering the many previous separations of life and death, and his nose couldn't help but feel a little sour.

Lu Marui stood in the misty courtyard, with black hair and white clothes, and a graceful and slender figure. She had been practicing here for the past few months. When she and Ning had been together for a long time, the mature charm of her first wife was also there. The silence was washed away, and now she is even more beautiful, dignified and elegant. The indescribable tranquility and gentleness in her gentle smile are just like the first time we saw her in the autumn rain.

"I have made Marry wait for a long time." Ning Changjiu said with a smile: "We have encountered many things along the way. We can slowly tell Marry about it later."

Lu Marry looked at them, looked at the backs of their hands touching each other, and asked with a faint smile: "Isn't it a happy event?"

Ning Changjiu and Si Ming both felt guilty and lowered their heads.

Siming pursed his lips and said hesitantly: "What did sister Marry say?"

Lu Marian smiled lightly, with both joy and sorrow in her eyes. She turned around slightly and said, "Didn't Sister Xueci say everything in her heart in that dream? Could it be that she still wanted to deceive me again?" ?”

Si Mingtan opened his mouth slightly and said, "You... you know it too."

Lu Marry turned her back to them and said, "I'm not a fool. How could such a dream be just a dream?"

Siming glanced at Ning Changjiu in a panic, as if he was complaining that Marryo had become smarter.

Ning looked at Si Ming for a long time and sighed helplessly.

Lu Marian stood at the door with her hands on the wooden door. She turned her head, narrowed her eyes, looked at Ning Changjiu, and said: "I guessed the matter between you and Sister Xuechi when you left Gulingzong. There is nothing to explain, you should explain Liu Xiwan's matter to me carefully, if you can't explain clearly, I will have to serve you with a ruler."

"Liu Xiwan..." Ning Jiujiu was slightly shocked.

Si Ming frowned and asked: "Liu Xiwan? That little girl from Jiange? What happened to her? Didn't you say you had nothing to do with her before?"

Ning Jiujiu repeatedly cried out that he was wronged, and quickly walked to Lu Marian's side and said: "Liu Xiwan and I really have nothing to do with each other. You don't know her identity yet, right? She is the spirit of the Tianyu Sword Scripture. I was in the world before." When I was in the city, she was very supportive of my marriage."

"Jing Ling..." Lu Marian was also a little shocked, "How come you can kill anyone?"

Ning Jiujiu explained: "No, just because we are old friends, so we are familiar with each other. And... Liu Xiwan also likes to marry."

"Like me?" Lu Jianjian looked at Ning Jiujiu and spoke coldly, saying: "Xian'er likes me, Xue Ci likes me, the spirit of Sword Scripture also likes me... Well, the way they like me is surprisingly consistent. .”

Ning looked into Lu Marry's eyes for a long time and felt very guilty. He wanted to say something, but he heard the door being pushed open.

Lu Marian said softly: "Okay, it's good to be back safely. I can also think less about it in the future... Come in first, Xiaoling and I have always missed you."

The light from the door embraced them.

"Did you get your authority back?" Lu Marion asked.

Ning Jiujiu smiled and said: "I got it back. Xue Ci and I went through a lot of troubles, but we finally got it safely."

Lu Marry's heart finally settled. She stood by the desk with a smile in her eyes, gently opened her arms, hugged Ning Changjiu, and said: "The family is poor, so I have no choice but to reward my husband with a hug."

"This is the best reward." Ning Jiujiu also hugged her tightly. He only felt that all the hardships and grievances along the way were worth it.

Siming looked a little uncomfortable looking at the two people he was holding. She coughed twice and sat down at the table.

Lu Marry looked at Si Ming and said with a smile: "Didn't Sister Xueci agree not to compete with me for my husband? How could you lie?"

Si Mingyu squeezed her fingers tightly and said, "I... I'm here to share your worries. I always hear you begging for mercy every day and night. My sister can't bear it."

"Ah..." Lu Marian was slightly startled, her temperament and airs could no longer be restrained, her dimples were slightly red, and she said angrily: "Xue Ci, how dare you..."

Seeing her anxious look, Siming tried to gain some ground and finally laughed.

Ning wanted to smooth things over for a long time. He looked at the sword hanging on the wall and changed the subject: "Fortunately, I won Liu Junzhuo's sword. Otherwise, the previous battle would have been much more difficult."

Lu Marry was slightly shocked and said, "Have you met Liu Junzhuo?"

Ning Jiujiu nodded and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Married said: "Liu Junzhuo...she came to get the sword. It was she who told Liu Xiwan."

Ning Changjiu and Si Ming were both surprised.

Siming asked: "Why didn't she take away the sword?"

Lu Marian said: "She made three sword bets with me, but failed to defeat me. She was willing to admit defeat and left."

Si Ming's expression was trembling, wondering if Marry has also entered the Five Paths... No way...

Lu Marian smiled and said: "Fortunately Liu Junzhuo is at the peak of the Ziting realm, otherwise I wouldn't be able to hold on."

"That's it." Siming breathed a sigh of relief.

Ning Jiuchang was about to ask about the process of the battle, but the sound of their conversation surprised Xiaoling, who was still sleeping.

Xiao Ling's tail twitched slightly, he opened his eyes in confusion, and his curled up body relaxed little by little.

She looked at the shaking shadows in the room and thought she was dreaming.

Xiao Ling stretched out her paws and rubbed her eyes.

"Senior brother...Sister Siming..."

She spoke in disbelief, and immediately jumped up from the couch excitedly: "Brother, sister, you are back!"

Ning Jiujiu nodded gently and looked at the cute Xiao Ling. He felt better and felt that it was worth living and dying for his cute junior sister. He opened his arms to Xiao Ling.

Ning Xiaoling jumped from the couch, rushed over, got into Siming's arms, and rubbed against him.

Here it is again…

Ning Changjiu sighed and shook his head, and had no choice but to worry about Marry.

"By the way, where is the second sword? How did Marry win the second sword?" Ning Changjiu asked.

"The second sword..." Lu Marian recalled: "I was going to lose the second sword, but coincidentally, a red fish appeared on the lake at that time, which broke Liu Junzhuo's perfect sword intention and gave me Room for defense.”

"Red fish..." Ning Changjiu looked slightly confused.

Lu Marian nodded slightly and asked, "Do you know the origin of that red fish?"

Ning Jiujiu smiled and said: "That is the fish that Master left for us. It was transformed from the paper kite we bought earlier."

"Ah! That's it!" Ning Xiaoling raised her paw and said suddenly after hearing this.

Lu Marry also said: "It turns out that Master has been protecting us."

Ning Jiujiu smiled and said, "Yes, that's a lucky fish."

Lu Marian frowned and said, "Fuyu is too tacky."

Ning Xiaoling snuggled into Siming's arms and said, "Yes, I need to change my name to a nicer one."

Ning Jiujiu pondered: "That's the red fish in Youyue Lake. Master's surname is Ye, why don't we just call it..."

"Well, let's call it Ye Huli! Then we will have four foxes!" Ning Xiaoling said happily, wagging her tail happily.

The room fell into silence for a moment.

Four foxes…

Lu Marry and Siming looked at each other and looked away in shame.

Si Ming calmed down and suddenly coughed twice and said: "By the way, there are still debts to be settled during the marriage!"

Lu Marian asked: "What account is it?"

Si Ming hugged Ning Xiaoling, raised her chin slightly, and smiled in her eyes. She walked gently in the room and said proudly: "In the dream, I not only called you senior sister for three years, but I also got beaten a lot. Boss, hey, you are so brave to marry your sister, do you dare to bully your sister like this?"

Lu Marian was adamant and said: "How can the things in the dream count? Isn't Xiang'er the one who bullies you the most? If I hadn't protected you many times, you would have been beaten by Xiang'er every day."

"You..." Si Ming felt even worse when she thought about how hungry she was three days ago. She snorted coldly and said with a snowy look on her face, "Huh, marrying my sister, you won't still be counting on Nuwen, right? Let me tell you something. The secret is, Ning Changjiu’s slave pattern has been canceled by the master, and now your little husband can’t protect you.”

Lu Marian was a little surprised. She bit her lip and thought, isn't this asymmetrical...

Si Ming looked at her expression and became more calm and said: "Marry, with your cultivation, you can't use the remaining slave pattern in front of me now. I will give you a chance to atone for your sins. Now lie down beside the bed obediently, put on your tail, and apologize to your sister. If your sister is in a better mood, she may forgive you."

Lu Marian looked at the proud and arrogant face, bit her lip, her eyes gradually narrowed, and asked: "Junior Sister Xueci, are you... sure?"

(Thanks to the book friend Greycs for the reward. Thank you to the book friend for your support!)
