The light inside the house seemed to be absorbed by the dry grass and wooden walls, and a heavy darkness pressed under the interspersed beams.
Shao Xiaoli stood at the door, her words like fog and wind frozen into ice crystals. She looked at the back standing by the window and was a little confused at first. After all, there are many fairies in white clothes in the world. But soon, the lotus-like figure turned around leisurely. Shao Xiaoli looked at her delicate and graceful dimples and the right fitting clothes, and immediately confirmed her identity.
It’s definitely Lu Marion…
This thought illuminated the sea of consciousness like a thunderbolt, and Shao Xiaoli quickly felt guilty as a thief... He offended the mistress as soon as they met, what will he do in the future
She was in a dilemma, her mind was racing uneasily, and she wanted to use words to smooth things over.
Ning looked at Lu Marian's long-lost face for a long time. Although he felt ashamed and embarrassed about his previous words, he still felt warm in his heart when he saw that Marian was fine.
But it is inevitable to raise an army to investigate.
The moon has not yet risen, and the figure in white standing by the window is like the moon quietly entering the courtyard. Her temperament is more dignified than before, and the determination drawn on her body is also rounded after entering the five realms. Melted into the elegant appearance, it is like a sword with its edge hidden in the moon.
She looked at Ning Jiujiu and Shao Xiaoli and smiled softly. This beautiful smile fell in the eyes of Ning Jiujiu and Shao Xiaoli, but it was no different from a cold wind knife. They only felt that the summer temperature had dropped sharply, and the room suddenly It became an ice cellar.
"Sister Marry, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time. The food is already ready. You can catch up with the boss first, and I will buy some bowls and chopsticks." Shao Xiaoli made a quick decision and planned to evacuate the battlefield, leaving Liuning alone for a long time.
"Wait a minute." Lu Marian called to her with a cold voice.
Shao Xiaoli was forced to stop, smiled stiffly at Lu Marry, and pretended to be stupid: "Sister, do you have any instructions? For example, about food taboos, whether you like sweet or spicy, just tell me."
Lu Marian looked at her and asked softly, "Is this girl Shao Xiaoli?"
Shao Xiaoli nodded and said, "Thanks to Sister Lu, I remember that Xiao Li was very frightened."
Lu Marry smiled lightly and asked, "You recognized me at first sight?"
Shao Xiaoli spoke firmly: "Sister Lu has an outstanding temperament and is unparalleled in the world. I'm afraid it will be difficult to admit her mistake."
Lu Marry glanced at the wardrobe and said, "Do you still like to wear my clothes?"
"No, sister misunderstood." Shao Xiaoli lowered his head, pretending to wipe away tears, and said, "Xiao Xiaoli has been poor since he was a child. Duanjie City was destroyed and he didn't even bring out a few clothes. It happened that there were several clothes in the thatched cottage. I didn’t know it belonged to my sister, so I borrowed it to wear first.”
Lu Yuejian always had a smile on her face, "Isn't Xiaoli the queen in Duanjie City?"
Shao Xiaoli always felt that Lu Married could see through everything with her sharp eyes, so she said bravely: "Xiao Li is a wise man who is diligent and thrifty!"
Mingjun…
Lu Jianjian said yes, without embarrassing her too much, and turned to look at Ning Changjiu.
"Shouldn't I be here?" Lu Marion asked quietly with a faint smile.
Ning Jiujiu smiled and said: "How could it happen? The wedding comes at the right time."
"Huh?" Lu Marian's eyebrows were as sharp as a knife.
Ning Jiujiu also realized that this was not quite right, so he compensated by saying: "After returning to Nanzhou, looking at the customs and customs of the past, I will always unconsciously think of the memories I left here with Marry, when Jiu Ying appeared in the world. , we started from Yujian Tianzong and came all the way north. It was so embarrassing to part ways in life and death. Now it would be so lucky to be able to visit our hometown again with Marry... "
When Lu Marian heard this, she was moved in her heart, but after all, she was no longer the little girl she was back then. She maintained her understanding of Ning Changjiu and said leisurely: "Really? I thought I was disturbing you."
"Why bother..." Ning Changjiu said, looking at Shao Xiaoli, hoping she could help with some words.
Shao Xiaoli remained silent.
"Is it true?" Lu Married asked softly: "By the way, what is the box you just mentioned? What mistake did Xiao Li make again? Why should you teach her a lesson?"
box…
Shao Xiaoli and Ning Changjiu were like nails nailed to a seven-inch snake.
Shao Xiaoli immediately said: "The food seems to be burnt, Xiaoli will go and take a look first!"
With that said, Shao Xiaoli quickly turned around and left.
Lu Marry looked at this scene and couldn't help laughing.
There were only two people left in the room.
Ning Jiujiu couldn't resist Marry's constant gaze, so he forced himself to calmly dig out the jewelry box, took out a few secret books, and said: "This is the box, we are discussing the matter of practicing secret books overnight, Xiao Li doesn't I like practicing so much, so I say it’s a lesson…”
Lu Jiao took the secret book, glanced at it twice, and said, "A man and a widow are alone in the same room, discussing the secret book all night?"
"Well, yes." Ning Jiujiu said.
Lu Marry rolled up the secret book and knocked Ning Jiujiu on the head, saying, "I don't think this is the secret method of Hehuan Sect."
Ning stood aside for a long time, blocking another box with his body, smiling stiffly.
"Okay, stop pretending. Ever since Snow Porcelain with Blue Face and Fangs, I have long since stopped believing that you and Shao Xiaoli are innocent." Lu Jiaotou put the Beiming Divine Sword back into the box and grabbed his ear: " You always do bad things behind my back, and you always let me catch you? Ning Jiujiu, are you considered promising or hopeless?"
Ning Jiujiu felt guilty in his heart. Although he knew that this was a dispute in his past life and he couldn't help it, he still felt sorry for Marry after all.
Ning Jiujiu handed a wooden scabbard to Lu Marian, spread his hands respectfully, and said: "These are love debts accumulated over many lifetimes. No matter what I do, there will always be people I can't forgive, which will make Marian sad." It’s my fault that I’m disappointed, please punish me severely to vent my anger.”
Lu Marian pinched Ning Jiujiu's ears hard and said: "Sister Xueci told me about Xiaoli a long time ago. It is really difficult to choose the fate of the past life... Besides, if I was too short-tempered, I would have pissed you to death." ”
Ning Jiujiu was ready to be beaten and laughed at.
Lu Marian picked up the scabbard and said softly: "Well, it's not easy to meet again. There is no need to worry about the love between children. Master has explained many important things and cannot be delayed."
Ning Jiujiu immediately asked: "What did the master tell me?"
"Let's talk about it later during dinner." Lu Marion patted his shoulder with her scabbard and said, "Okay, stop hiding, let me see what's in the box."
I would rather die than give up.
Lu Marian said: "Don't worry, I'm not a teenage girl anymore, I know what's going on."
Ning Changjiu hesitated.
Lu Marian's expression turned cold. She directly used force to snatch the box. Ning Jiujiu did not dare to stop it.
It's not very heavy... Lu Marry held the box in one hand, slowly opened it with the other, and looked inside.
The door happened to open again.
"Okay, the food is ready. Boss and his wife are here to eat together-" Shao Xiaoli's smile solidified again.
Lu Marian looked at the box, her body as quiet as a statue. She would rather close her eyes for a long time and face it shamelessly.
The room fell into dead silence again.
After a long time, Lu Jianjian closed the box and put it aside. Her beautiful face was slightly red, but her words were calm and cold: "You, you are really..."
"Let's go eat first..." Shao Xiaoli said aggrievedly.
…
At the dinner table, a girl in a red dress who looked like a queen sat next to Lu Marian, constantly asking after her, and even picking up food for her.
Lu Marian looked at the glutinous rice soup with pear, lotus and lotus root in the middle and asked, "Is this the female sword fairy Xiao Li with glutinous rice?"
Shao Xiaoli said confidently: "Yes, the boss said that Sister Lu is as elegant as a lotus, so she used lotus as a metaphor for people."
Lu Marry took a sip and her expression softened a lot.
"Xiao Li's craftsmanship is really good." Lu Marian said sincerely, feeling that this was at least the level of twenty-four and a half Xiang'er.
"As long as sister likes it." Shao Xiaoli was very well-behaved.
Lu Marian said: "Okay, it doesn't have to be like this, I am not a man-eating monster."
Shao Xiaoli smiled cautiously.
Ning Jiujiu asked with concern: "How is Xiaoling doing now?"
Lu Marry said: "Xiao Ling is okay. Now that the old king of the Nether Kingdom is dead, she has taken charge of the Nether Divine Kingdom and has become the new Nether King. However, she is also trapped in the Divine Kingdom and cannot get out for the time being."
When Shao Xiaoli heard the word "Mingjun", he thought that he was also a Mingjun, worthy of being an enemy of the great road.
After confirming that Xiaoling was fine, Ning Jiujiu felt relieved and said with emotion: "The little girls have grown up."
Lu Married said with a smile: "But when she is in front of us, she always looks like a girl who has not grown up."
Ning Changjiu didn't eat much today. He asked worriedly: "By the way, what did the master tell me?"
Lu Jiaojiao first briefly described the principle of opening the twelve divine kingdoms, and then said: "Master mainly said three things. One is that on November 15th this year, there may be a heavenly dog swallowing the moon. Master uses the moon to drive the phoenix to support the country. If the sky dog swallows the moon, the phoenix to support the country will temporarily lose its power. At that time, if Bai Zang flees at all costs, it may be difficult to stop him, and the dark master may summon other kings at any time... In short , Winning Bai Zang is just the beginning, there will be a lot of trouble later.”
Ning Changjiu nodded his head with a heavy expression. He originally thought that Bai Zang would be at least peaceful in the next two years, but he never expected such changes as Tengu swallowing the moon.
The Sword Master is still in the world and may gain the power of the Dark Lord at any time, causing internal troubles. The Dark Lord is high in the sky and may light up the stars of the God Lord at any time, causing external troubles. Today's situation is far more serious than they initially thought.
Ning Jiujiu asked: "Then what should we do?"
Lu Marry said: "Master has told you two things. One is to return you to Nanzhou and cut off the fetters. The other is to restore the Golden Crow Kingdom and return to the throne."
Shao Xiaoli listened on the side and suddenly said in admiration: "Boss is really awesome."
"What's wrong?" Lu Married asked.
Ning Jiujiu smiled and said: "This is exactly what I have been doing these days. I am also aware of the matter of returning the Tao and building the Kingdom of God."
Lu Marian said with a smile: "So you know everything. Then it seems that my trip was really in vain."
Ning Changjiu said: "How could it be possible? Marrying to come all the way to tell you this is the biggest reassurance."
"Okay, stop flattering me." Lu Marian said: "In short, time is of the essence and there is no time to delay. Think carefully tonight about what bad things you have done in the past few years and pay them back one by one from tomorrow."
"All these years..." Ning closed his eyes for a long time and thought seriously.
Lu Marry said mockingly: "You can't have a clear conscience, right?"
Ning Jiujiu also laughed self-deprecatingly and said: "In those years, I just woke up. Although I wanted to escape from the world, I always felt as ethereal as a dream, so I deliberately left behind some small and medium-sized causes and effects."
Lu Marion recalled: "The biggest cause and effect was that rainy day, I bumped into your courtyard, right?"
At that time, she was still a young female swordswoman who devoted herself to the sword and had a clear mind. Although she had no choice but to take off her clothes to heal her injuries, she also intended to comfort herself, but it still caused quite a stir in her heart.
Ning Jiujiu said seriously: "Marriage is not cause and effect, it is chance."
"Well, you are also my opportunity..." Lu Marian said softly.
Shao Xiaoli listened on the side, always feeling that she was the one who should leave. She ate in silence, feeling that the food she had carefully cooked was no longer so fragrant.
Lu Marian looked at Shao Xiaoli and asked, "How are Xiaoli and my husband getting along recently?"
Shao Xiaoli was startled, always feeling that there was a hidden knife in the words of the mistress. She immediately said: "The boss and I are innocent. If you don't believe it... don't believe it... if you don't believe it, there is nothing Xiaoli can do."
Her voice weakened.
Lu Marian pointed at the leeks, yams, spinach and mulberries picked on the table with her chopsticks, and asked, "Then why are the tables full of such dishes?"
Shao Xiaoli said innocently: "What's wrong with these dishes...?"
Lu Marian thought for a while and said calmly: "It's no problem."
After finally finishing their meal, the three of them felt much more relaxed and harmonious. Shao Xiaoli suggested going for a walk by the lake, and the two agreed.
In the summer night, three figures walked by the lake, looking at the green leaves spread on the lake, with different thoughts in their hearts.
"This is where Marry was waiting for me." Ning Changjiu paused slightly, pointed to the lush green grass on the ground, and said, "There was a small flying formation over there."
Lu Marry showed a look of sadness.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the abyss that was so popular has now turned into a lake with pleasant scenery."
"Well, I think the Southern Wasteland won't be desolate in the future."
The two of them were walking by the lake, reminiscing about the little moments they had left here.
They had been separated here and reunited here. They had competed with swords here. They had hugged their knees and looked at the moon together. They had also practiced Taoism alone or in pairs. Refining the sword and refining the body, unaware of the years.
Those were the purest and happiest days. Obviously it didn't take long, but I can still recall them. When I revisited my old place and looked at the sparkling lake under the moonlight, I always felt like I was in another world.
Shao Xiaoli listened quietly, with his head lowered, his heart full of envy.
"I have been to Liantian Town today, and the dispute has been resolved. Tomorrow we will reply to Jiantian Sect together." Ning Changjiu said.
"Have you ever owed anything to the clan?" Lu Jiayou asked.
Ning Jiujiu said: "I don't know what a debt is. I defrauded Nan Cheng of his jade token and exchanged it for a lot of pills to help him practice. But I gave him the secrets of the sword body as a gift, and I also deliberately teased him. Lerou let her get beaten, but she was the one who deliberately teased me first... "
Shao Xiaoli was amazed, "You are indeed the boss!"
Lu Marry also smiled, "So you did all these things?"
Ning Jiujiu also smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "But these two should be regarded as transactions and fun. If we talk about real debts, among the four peaks, the one I owe the most is Yan Zhou."
Yan Zhou was the great-uncle who was in charge of the book pavilion.
When he went to study every day as a foreign disciple, Yan Zhou turned a blind eye and said nothing. He even wanted to talk to him and give him a chance. Later, he secretly learned the Heavenly Mandate Sword Sutra while he was sleeping. Later, when the four peaks were in trouble, Yan Zhou realized the truth, found the Sword Sutra, broke through the peaks, and tried his best to turn the tide, and finally handed the Sword Sutra to Got him.
Lu Marry knew these things and asked: "Uncle Yan Zhou imprisoned himself in the bookstore all his life. After Yan Feng died, he had no relatives anymore."
The kindness is repaid but the person is not there, leaving only regrets.
Ning Jiujiu sighed: "This is always the case in the world. You can't force it."
Lu Marry said: "But if the fetters cannot be completely cut off, the golden body will inevitably become impure."
Ning Changjiu smiled and comforted: "There is no true perfection in the world, and there is no pure immortal. I was a human before ascending to the throne of God, and after ascending to the throne of God, I am still a person fighting against the darkness."
Shao Xiaoli looked at him with a smile in his eyes.
Lu Marian asked: "Are we going back to Kufeng that day?"
"Let's go back and have a look." Ning Jiujiu said, "But don't delay too long. I want to go to the Imperial City of Zhao as soon as possible."
Lu Marion asked in confusion: "What are you doing in the Imperial City of Zhao State?"
Ning Jiujiu said: "I still owe an old Taoist a copper coin."*
…
The lake breeze was peaceful and the water surface was rippled. The three of them chatted for a while by the lake, and then talked about the Sword Master.
The Sword Master is no longer alive in the North Ming Dynasty. Si Ming and many masters use swords to search for him, but the situation may not be optimistic. With the Sword Master's ability, it is almost impossible to kill him if he deliberately hides.
"After the reconciliation is over, I will go to Nanming first." Ning Jiujiu suddenly said.
"Nan Ming?" Lu Marry looked slightly confused, "You and the owner of Piaomiao Tower will not..."
Ning Jiujiu immediately denied it, "I was not so imprudent in my previous life... I got some clues in the ruins of the skeleton tower. Maybe there is something hidden in Nanming, and it is very likely to be related to the original Zhulong."
Lu Jiaojiu said: "But in mythology, Zhulong has already been eaten by many ancient dragons after death."
"I'm not sure what it is." Ning Jiujiu said this, but the intuition in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Lu Marian didn't ask any more questions. She looked at the bright stars in the sky. Although she thought it was beautiful, now that she knew many secrets of the world, she knew that even this starry sky might not be real because people could not observe it on the earth. To the location of the twelve God Lord Stars.
Shao Xiaoli walked with them and couldn't say anything.
After walking around the lake, the three of them returned to the familiar wooden thatched cottage.
There is only one couch in the hall.
Shao Xiaoli immediately said: "Boss, you can sleep with Sister Marry tonight. I, I will just spread out the mat outside."
Both Ning Jiujiu and Lu Jiaojian expressed their opposition.
So after final discussion, the three of them got on the bed together.
Of course, they were just sleeping and resting, because the bed was too small, and they didn't even feel much happiness, they just felt a little crowded.
Ning Changjiu had been in a coma for several days. He didn't have much need for sleep at the moment. He was squeezed in the middle and couldn't move. He had to raise his head and look at the ceiling, and began to conceive of the construction of the Golden Crow Kingdom in his mind.
To build a complete Kingdom of God, we must first formulate the mythological logic and fully describe the origin of the Kingdom of God step by step.
What is the origin of the Golden Crow Kingdom? Where should the node be selected
Ning Chang carefully sorted out what he saw in the dust and drew up the nodes of the myth. These nodes are all sacred pillars, and there must be no major flaws. Otherwise, it will be like Madam Bai's Fengdu Divine Kingdom, where the failure to understand history or It collapsed under the watchful eyes of those who had experienced history.
Madam Bai was transformed from a sacred bone of Quanfu. At first, she thought that Quanfu died in the battle between gods five hundred years ago, but in fact it was seven hundred years ago. This mistake ruined Fengdu.
A world as big as the Golden Crow Divine Kingdom does not have the fetters of balance on the other side. What he has to do next is to make the Divine Kingdom operational, self-sufficient, and become a qualified world.
He needs to build a nurturing place for living beings such as the fetal spirit mother well, and also build an environment suitable for the growth and cultivation of living beings, give them special skills and beliefs, and re-condensate the broken sparks in the sky into the sun, and then Build a temple of the sun in it, and then ascend the throne of God as ordered by heaven, and confer the title of priest and king of heaven.
This series of things will probably be difficult to complete in four months.
Ning was worried for a long time.
This is the third national hunting plan in the true sense. If it fails, they are likely to be in ruins.
The warmth he felt now was just a short-term reward from fate for him after running around in Middle-earth. The gears of darkness were always turning without stopping for a moment.
In the early morning, Shao Xiaoli and Lu Jianjian got up one after another. Ning Jiujiu finally got rid of the crowd and breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Marian went to the lake to regulate her breathing and practice swordsmanship.
Shao Xiaoli and Ning stayed in the house for a long time.
"Boss." Shao Xiaoli called him.
"Um?"
"After last night, I want to understand something." Shao Xiaoli said seriously: "Although I admire the boss, no matter in terms of experience or emotion, I can't compare with other sisters. I shouldn't use the words of my previous life. Fate and the willfulness of the little girl forced it on you."
Ning Jiujiu also lowered his head and apologized: "I didn't do the right thing either. I shouldn't have hastily agreed yesterday because of my personal emotions and my so-called destiny. It's unfair to you. Fortunately, Marry came back in time, otherwise I should be sorry. You’ve lived two lives.”
"Ah?" Shao Xiaoli was surprised, "Did Boss do anything to apologize to me in his previous life?"
"Don't you know?"
"I don't know! Tell me quickly!"
"Well... I'll talk to you later."
"Hmph, the boss is really not a good person. I'm going to tell Sister Yuanhui! The world is big and Sister Yuanhui is the biggest!" Shao Xiaoli found the right backer.
Ning Jiujiu felt helpless and said, "I will tell you about it after I recover all my memories. I only know a little about it now, so I might make some mistakes."
Shao Xiaoli was doubtful and said: "Then you owe me a story. Don't leave me alone again in the future."
Ning Jiujiu smiled and agreed, making a promise.
The two secretly crossed their fingers.
Lu Marian's coughing sound came from the window, and they immediately let go.
"Is it exciting to have sex with me on your back?" Lu Married asked lightly.
Ning Jiujiu explained: "No, we just made an agreement."
Lu Marian asked: "What agreement?"
Shao Xiaoli immediately said: "Of course we can't let the third person know about the agreement!"
Lu Marian was too lazy to care about their mysteries, "Okay, don't delay. Let's go back to the Four Peaks first, and then go to the Imperial City of Zhao Kingdom together."
The three of them got up, left the village, crossed the Red River, and headed towards Yujian Tianzong.
After a year, they finally returned to the top again.
