Lotus leaves sleep on the clear and round water surface. The bright light sifts through the layers of covered leaves, is drained by the lake water, and is hidden among the stems, leaves and water plants, swaying gently in the wind. In the dim woods, pupae turn into insects, moths open cocoons, and when lotus flowers bloom, summer has truly arrived.
This is summer in Nanzhou, which is not unfamiliar.
Shao Xiaoli stood under the thatched cottage in the forest, wearing clothes like snow, leaning against a wooden pillar, looking at this summer, and would often be lost in thought for a long time.
Ning Changjiu slept most of the time, and when he woke up occasionally, his mind was not clear.
This is the sequelae of Bai Zang's "Chen Feng". The power of authority exerted by the God Lord's true body with all his strength cannot be easily erased. After he shot the arrow with all his strength, his body collapsed and was affected by Chen Feng again, but it was good. The authority of life is also rooted in his body. Although he becomes very lethargic, it will not harm his life.
After that shocking battle, Shao Xiaoli hurriedly came outside the city. After searching for a long time, he finally found his body and carefully carried him back.
She couldn't wake up Ning Jiujiu no matter what. When she was anxious, a woman in a green skirt suddenly appeared. Behind her was a man carrying a broad knife. Shao Xiaoli didn't recognize them, but he had an innate feeling. intimacy.
The woman in the green skirt looked at Ning Jiujiu's injuries and said that he was not seriously injured and asked Shao Xiaoli to take him out and take a good rest.
Shao Xiaoli asked where he was going, and the woman in the green skirt told her that now the seal of Shi Yuan has been lifted. In the past, it was the head of a god, but now, it is just a head.
Shao Xiaoli seemed to understand.
The woman in the green skirt looked at the girl who was once an old friend, rubbed her hair, and told her that the days of the Broken Boundary City lingering on were over, and they could go to the outside world. The Southern Wasteland was very big, and the curse had been eliminated. They can build new villages, towns and cities there, which is not difficult for a city that has been working hard for nearly a thousand years.
Shao Xiaoli believed that she was a good person. When she was leaving, she kneeled on the ground and grabbed her Qingxiu and asked her name.
The woman in the green skirt handed her a book and told her that the answer was in the book.
Afterwards, Shao Xiaoli brought Ning Jiujiu and his clan members to the Soul-Calling Hall. As expected, the huge light curtain in the hall disappeared, becoming dark and hollow, like the huge mouth of a monster.
She took Ning Changjiu into it and came to this withered time abyss. She suddenly understood that the power in the abyss of time had been exhausted by the Kingdom of God above, and now there was only an empty shell left. This empty shell was the head of the headless god, and they were inside the head.
Shao Xiaoli looked at the honeycomb-like roads extending in all directions around him and groped forward based on his intuition.
Apart from its huge size, there was nothing sinister about this head. She passed through the skull and came outside.
The abyss in the Southern Wasteland had also returned to normal. She climbed up easily along the vertical walls, and then found a broken thatched hut and some long-abandoned furniture and porcelain outside the abyss.
She immediately remembered that many years ago, the boss told her that a woman named Lu Marian must have been waiting for him outside the abyss.
Is this where Lu Marion originally lived
She tidied up the thatched cottage, let the boss settle down, and then jumped down into the abyss again, found Lord Xueyu who was shivering in the corner, and asked him to guide the tribesmen of the Broken Boundary City out.
Only then did Mr. Xueyu realize that the disaster seemed to have passed.
It flew up excitedly and immediately headed to the city, gathering people as the God of Light and announcing the exciting news.
It also pretended to cast spells in front of the light curtain, roaring loudly to clear the way.
When the rooster crows, the world becomes white.
Nowadays, above Nanzhou, this wild land surrounded by the Red River has been gradually opened up, and many simple houses have been built. This thatched cottage has also been expanded, using a more solid structure. Much more spacious and bright.
After Mr. Xueyu came out, he was melancholy for two days, constantly lamenting that things and people had changed. Then, he said that he was going to Nanzhou to meet some old friends whom he had only met for a while, and would come back after a while.
Shao Xiaoli didn't know where to go, so he stayed here with Ning Changjiu, waiting for him to wake up.
The Shanhaicangliu Secret Scripture was removed, and everything outside Duanjie City disappeared. Duanjie City was originally like a lonely island. At this moment, this island is no longer inhabited.
Not long after, there were several heavy rains in Nanzhou, and the original abyss filled up with water and gradually turned into a lake. What Shao Xiaoli did most now, besides staring at Ning Changjiu's face by the bed, was outside the wooden hall Looking out over the lake.
Her snow-white clothes were found in a thatched cottage.
Although the thatched cottage is deserted, there are still a few plain-colored clothes left in it, which should have been left behind by Lu Jiayou.
Although Shao Xiaoli has grown up a lot, his clothes still don't fit him very well.
Time passed like this, with rain and sunny days alternating. The people in Duanjie City had never seen rain or clouds, let alone the sun and moon. They regarded this as a miracle and held several ceremonies. Shao Xiaoli She is the leader of the clan and the witch of the ceremony.
Shao Xiaoli adapted to everything in the new world. This was their dream for nearly a thousand years. Exploring the barren mountains and wild mountains outside Duanjie City has become history. They were delighted with everything in front of them.
Three days later, the chirping of summer cicadas reached its highest point.
Shao Xiaoli set up a boiler in the courtyard and cooked rice porridge. The rice grains in the porridge were very small. They were not cultivated but collected wildly in Nanzhou and had a unique fragrance.
These days, Ning Changjiu wakes up more frequently, waking up once every two days on average.
The power of 'dusty' still affects him, causing his sea of consciousness to stagnate and his thinking to slow down.
When Shao Xiaoli fed him porridge, he always felt like he was taking care of a silly child.
She often thinks of the conversations between her master and Bai Zang... In the previous life, she was the boss's wife, and her master was also the boss's wife. So, who are we now? It’s such a confusing account that I can’t figure out...
During the night, Ning Jiujiu woke up again. This time he was much more awake and called out a name.
"Marry..."
Shao Xiaoli was facing away from him, clearing the table, when he heard Ning Changjiu shout this.
She was shocked... Lu Marry!
This was the first time Ning Jiujiu spoke, and he called out Lu Marian's name... Is the female sword fairy he has never met yet the most important person in his heart
Who the hell is this?…
Shao Xiaoli tugged at the skirt of his clothes, feeling a little discouraged when he looked at the clothes that didn't fit well.
"Marry, marry."
Ning Jiujiu shouted again.
Shao Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized whether he was calling him.
In the dim night, Shao Xiaoli came back to his senses slightly and saw Ning Changjiu's eyes wide open. Sure enough, he was looking at himself and murmuring marriage.
He was calling himself... He was now wearing Lu Marian's clothes, so the boss admitted his mistake.
Shao Xiaoli hesitated for a moment, and when he heard the other party's somewhat dry call, he walked over involuntarily. After hesitating for a moment, he climbed onto the bed and lay quietly beside him, very close to him.
Ning didn't wake up for a long time, just staring at her clothes and calling Lu Marian's name.
"Yes, disciple, I am here for the master." Shao Xiaoli imagined Lu Marian's tone and simulated it.
"Well..." Ning Jiujiu responded, obviously feeling much more at ease. He stopped shouting and hugged her instinctively, and the girl's soft body was pressed against his arms.
"Hey, don't..."
Shao Xiaoli struggled symbolically and then became quiet.
She found it a little strange and a little interesting, and there was a hint of sour jealousy in her heart.
Their skin touched each other and they fell asleep again.
Fireflies were flying outside and the stars were clearly visible.
In the days that followed, Shao Xiaoli took care of him as usual, but he was often mistaken for Lu Marion. Every time he was mistaken for Lu Marion, he would inevitably be hugged to sleep. As time passed, Shao Xiaoli became a little shy. She changed into a red dress, hoping that the half-asleep boss would recognize her.
"Xian'er?"
Ning Jiujiu's eyes seemed to be hopeless.
"..." Shao Xiaoli curled his lips and sighed helplessly.
It's just that she thought the boss was going to visit Xiang'er tonight. After getting closer, she found that Ning Jiujiu had no intention of touching her, so she instinctively backed away.
Shao Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, tapping the edge of the bed with his fist, and said: "The boss is really bullying the weak and afraid of the strong..."
Smiling, the girl's face became calm again.
She always felt that continuing like this was not the answer, but she couldn't make up her mind.
After thinking for a while, she simply gave up thinking and decided to cherish the time she had with her boss.
She lifted the quilt, gently got in, and slowly heated their bodies with her body temperature.
Ning Jiujiu really woke up ten days later. Before that, the largest sect south of Nanzhou noticed something strange happening in Nanhuang and sent his disciple Yu Jian to inspect it. After asking, Shao Xiaoli knew that the person who came was Yujian Tianzong.
…
…
Middle Earth.
In the Ancient Spirit Sect, the foundation of Jiuyou Palace was shaken and fragmented. First it turned into a crooked building, and then it simply fell directly into Youyue Lake.
The fish in Youyue Lake were in trouble, and many were killed.
The secret hidden by His Highness Jiuyou was finally revealed.
In those days, the sky above the Ancient Spirit Sect was filled with the evil spirit of the underworld every day. The evil spirit surged endlessly on the ground and gathered into a black sea, which was broken by thunder and lightning that lit up from time to time.
After everything calmed down, Lu Marion immediately took control of her sword and headed to the center of the riot to investigate Ning Xiaoling's safety.
At the same time, in the ancient kingdom of Hades, Ning Xiaoling, who was dressed in a white dress, finished reciting the oath and then sat quietly in the throne. After a long time, she opened her eyes again. Her tiredness was written on her face, giving her a feeling that she did not belong to. A sense of calm at this age.
Fish King and Jiuyou stood quietly on the left and right sides, and no one spoke to disturb them.
Previously in the Ruins Sea, Ning Xiaoling was not torn apart by the void. The Ten Thousand Demon Art buried in her body worked, giving her many incredible abilities. These abilities greatly increased Ning Xiaoling's confidence.
She held the straight Shentu in one hand and Yu Lei, who was like a snake spear of eight feet, in the other hand, and had the final decisive battle with the broken bones of Lord Ming in the sea of ruins.
Even though she understood the Sword of Disaster Control, she was still unable to truly defeat Ming Lord. The last ones who killed Ming Lord were the other soul swallowers in the Ruin Sea.
This is the first time Ning Xiaoling has seen these incredible beings.
They are black bones with distorted shapes that have experienced endless pain. They live here by instinct and survive by devouring certain substances in the ruins sea.
The fight between Ming Jun and Ning Xiaoling attracted them.
They swarmed up and devoured the huge bone snake, but did not attack Ning Xiaoling.
There was even a monster that looked like a fish and dragon, and Ning Xiaoling was allowed to ride on its body and let it carry him away.
This stems from the spirit-swallowing person's closeness to Ning Xiaoling.
And the source of this intimacy is the Ten Thousand Demon Art.
Most of the soul-devourers were demons before their death.
A few days later, Ning Xiaoling's eyes gradually became clearer as she sat on the throne.
"Jiuyou? Listen carefully?"
Ning Xiaoling spoke softly, her voice still a little hoarse.
"You're awake." The Fish King breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay. Thunder has been falling these days, and the sea of darkness outside has been completely chopped up. It must be a punishment from heaven. Fortunately, we are hidden deep. , the way of heaven is beyond our reach."
Ning Xiaoling nodded, still adjusting to the new power in her body, and didn't know how to respond.
She could feel that the whole world was close to her. But she is like a fish trapped in a water tank. She is like a fish in water, but has no way to get out.
Jiuyou looked at Ning Xiaoling. Although the throne was supposed to be hers, Jiuyou was not jealous at all, but was happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Congratulations to Mr. Mingjun on your enthronement! From today on, Xiaoling will rule the Netherworld for eternity!" Jiuyou jumped up excitedly, but accidentally tripped over his own skirt and fell back to the ground.
Jiuyou rubbed her ankle and complained that it hurt, but found that her injury was healed.
Not only that, the numbers on the stone tablet outside the ancient palace also stopped counting and stopped at eighty-one forever.
Ning Xiaoling never thought that she would become the new Lord of the Underworld.
Jiuyou was even more excited than herself, saying that the new year of Mingjun had begun, and she wanted Xiaoling to choose a year name.
Of course, Ning Xiaoling couldn't take it out, so Jiuyou immediately made suggestions and said, "How about calling it Qingming."
Ning Xiaoling thought the name was good and agreed.
Jiuyou nodded and said: "Well, from today on, this temple will also be called Qingming Palace. Well... In order to commemorate the new king's enthronement today, we will have a festival today every year in the future. Let's call it Qingming Festival!"
After Jiuyou finished speaking, he looked at them expectantly.
“…”
Ning Xiaoling and Fish King did not respond.
The holiday was decided in silence.
Jiuyou continued to say seriously: "Now that we in the Kingdom of the Underworld are finally on the right track, we have to get busy with many things."
The Fish King asked in confusion: "How come you, the foolish king, became more diligent after being deprived of your throne?"
"Hmph, what do you know? I used to rule by doing nothing!" Jiuyou said: "In short, we have to start discussing our name and future strategies for governing the country."
"What's your name?" The Fish King looked at his white hair, then at Jiuyou's black dress, and said, "Are we going to form a black and white impermanence?"
"Hmph, tacky."
"Then what did you call it?"
The two started arguing, but Ning Xiaoling finally gave them the final say.
Diting was named the Bodhisattva who can distinguish right from wrong, and Jiuyou was named a heavenly official who was good at writing poems.
They were not satisfied with this, but they agreed temporarily to give Ning Xiaoling some face.
"Then it's settled..." Jiuyou held up her big skirt and walked in the hall. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she said, "By the way, I have written a lot of poems recently. Do you want to see it, Master Mingjun?" It’s helpful to open the book.”
"Uh... no need." Ning Xiaoling refused quickly.
Jiuyou frowned and said: "As the old saying goes, Ming takes poetry as his heaven! Young Lord Ming must set an example."
“…”
Ning Xiaoling and Fish King looked into Jiuyou's sincere eyes and didn't know how to respond. Just when Ning Xiaoling didn't want the girl to be sad and was about to read the bad poem she wrote, there was a sudden movement outside the palace.
Ning Xiaoling noticed something, immediately put down the manuscript and walked out quickly.
The visitor is Lu Marian.
Lu Jianjian was worried about her young age, so she broke into the netherworld all the way and rushed here. Her snow-white cheeks were slightly red due to the consumption of spiritual power.
Ning Xiaoling ran out of the palace and happened to bump into Lu Jianwen's arms.
"Xiao Ling?"
Ning Xiaoling had been in the form of a fox for a long time, but now she had returned to her true appearance. It took Lu Jiaowen a while to react.
"Xiao Ling... Xiao Ling is fine."
Seeing that she was still well, Lu Marry let out a long sigh of relief and held Ning Xiaoling tightly in her arms.
Ning Xiaoling's eyes were filled with tears, and she hugged her master tightly. Although she couldn't see anything clearly now, when she hugged Lu Wenwen, she could clearly feel that this was the master without a doubt...
Ning Xiaoling was very quiet when she sat on the Netherworld Throne. At this moment when master and apprentice reunited, she cried like a child.
"Well, Xiaoling is fine... Master, long time no see."
In fact, they were not separated for long.
"What a touching scene." Fish King always felt that he should say something.
Jiuyou looked at the woman in white, and that beautiful and graceful figure came into her eyes. Jiuyou couldn't help biting her lip with a dazed expression, "This sister is so beautiful. When she stands there, people can't take their eyes away. I...I want to write a poem for her!"
The Fish King spared no effort in attacking and said: "Forget it, don't waste your time and talent."
Jiuyou said angrily: "You evil cat, how dare you secretly learn my idiom skills!"
In the palace, the little girl and the cat quarreled again.
Ning Xiaoling and Lu Marian cuddled together for a while, then turned around, pointed at the main hall, and said, "Master, our family has a big house."
Lu Marry smiled softly and looked into the hall.
Jiuyou stopped arguing. When she saw Lu Wenwen, she felt a little nervous. The girl lifted up her skirt, saluted, and said nervously: "Sister... hello, sister in white."
The Fish King broke the story and said: "You have lived for thousands of years, how dare you call someone sister?"
Jiuyou glared at the Fish King and said: "Sisters are determined by their appearance, not their age!"
The Fish King took a breath and thought that if this was the case, then Lu Marianqiang should be the eldest sister in the backyard of evil man Ning.
Lu Marian looked at this lively little girl and said softly: "Well, hello."
Ning Xiaoling introduced: "She is Jiuyou, the girl's heart stripped out by Ming Lord. Well... she is good at writing poems."
Lu Marian smiled and said, "Little sister Jiuyou is so amazing."
Jiuyou immediately took credit, "When Lord Ming wanted to kill Xiaoling, I went ahead and chose betrayal! In the past, I was Lord Ming's loyal and loyal man, but now I am Xiaoling's right-hand man!"
As Ning Xiaoling listened, she always felt that something was not right. There was a kind of person who kept a courtier by her side. Not only was the courtier idle, but he also had the word "treacherous" written on his face.
Lu Marian thought the little girl was quite cute, so she took the initiative to pick up the manuscript on the ground and read it.
Jiuyou looked at her excitedly.
Ning Xiaoling's face was as dark as water.
The smile on Lu Marion's face solidified a little. She looked at it for a while and put the manuscript back.
Jiuyou quickly asked: "Um...how did I write?"
Lu Marian thought about it for a while and said, "The writing... is quite radical. Well, let's keep up the good work."
Jiuyou couldn't tell whether this was a compliment to herself. Anyway, it sounded like encouragement. She said happily: "Sister is so gentle."
Ning Xiaoling quickly took Lu Wenwen away to another place.
"Is there any news about senior brother?" Ning Xiaoling asked.
"No." Lu Jianjian shook her head lightly and said, "But these storms have come, I believe he can turn the danger into safety."
"Yeah!" Ning Xiaoling nodded vigorously to cheer herself up.
She took her master to visit this ancient palace that had just been named 'Qingming Palace'.
This main hall is as big as the Ancient Spirit Sect, and the bed occupies one-third of the area.
Ning Xiaoling liked this big bed very much. She happily took Lu Marry to see the bed and said, "Master, does this bed look like it was tailor-made for us?"
Lu Marry was stunned for a while. She stood on tiptoes and looked around, barely able to see the end of the bed.
"Tailor-made?" Lu Jiayou was confused.
Ning Xiaoling smiled shyly: "Yes, there are many of us..."
Lu Marian understood the implication of her words, "What are you talking nonsense about, Xiaoling? There are... although there are a lot of people, but no matter what, we won't use such a big bed."
"Marry, Xiang'er, Xue Ci..." Ning Xiaoling clapped her fingers and said, "Maybe we'll need it in the future. This time, senior brother comes back. Is there any appointment..."
"Shut up!" Lu Marian interrupted.
Ning Xiaoling had already made her prediction twice, and Lu Marry was even a little scared.
Ning Xiaoling smiled and said: "Master's ears are so red, are you shy?"
Lu Marian scolded: "Xiao Ling is getting more and more wanton."
Ning Xiaoling said: "We are in Qingming Palace now. It is Xiaoling's chassis. Why is Xiaoling so arrogant? Master, but you... Ah! Master, I was wrong..."
The master and apprentice chased around the giant bed.
In the quiet palace of the underworld, laughter finally came, and the laughter echoed in the palace, no longer alone.
Jiuyou spread out her skirt, sat softly on the ground, biting the pen, thinking about how to write.
The Fish King lay lazily next to the throne, which was where Listening used to be, but it actually became the new Listening.
"How much power can the God of the Netherworld have?"
"The God of the Netherworld has boundless power..."
The Fish King murmured to himself.
This kind of joy did not last long, and the ancient Netherworld country that had not yet established itself was suddenly shaken.
Lu Marry immediately realized that this was the movement caused by someone trying to force their way into the Ancient Spirit Sect's formation.
Who is it...
"I'm going out to take a look, master." Lu Marion smiled calmly and signaled Ning Xiaoling not to worry too much.
Ning Xiaoling became Lord Ning and was temporarily trapped in the ancient kingdom of Netherworld. She whispered: "Master, be careful. If you can't defeat her, you can bring her in and fight again."
Lu Marry nodded. She felt the movement around her, but her mind became increasingly heavy.
…
Outside the Ancient Spirit Sect, a woman with a white robe painted with ink-colored lotus flowers stood. She held a fly whisk in one hand and touched the void with the other. The Bagua disk expanded rapidly and attached to the Grand Formation of the Ancient Spirit Sect. The sixty-four images were constantly changing. stop.
The kingdom of Hades came into being, and heaven sent down punishments.
This movement was too loud.
The first person to be alarmed was the Piaomiao Tower, which was close to the Ancient Spirit Sect.
Piaomiao Tower is one of the four towers in Middle Earth.
The visitor is the owner of Piao Miao Building, Yu Qing.
