Yazhu looked at Lu Jianyou in shock.
It is midsummer now, and the snow on the cliffs has not melted all year round, but it is still cold. The thin moon rises behind Lu Jiewen, like pearls and jade inlaid on his shoulders. The evening wind blows up his clothes, without any sharpness, but like a waterfall that has been soaked in the cold pool for thousands of years. With the sword in hand, Yazhu felt a sense of alienation, as if the person standing next to her was not a familiar senior sister, but a shadow of the moon that had passed by unintentionally.
Today's Lu Marry is a real immortal in Yazhu's eyes.
So her words surprised Yazhu even more.
Yazhu Xiumei immediately frowned: "Hehuan Sect and so on...that place! How can a person like you, Marry and Marry, go?"
Lu Marry looked at the mountains in the night and said calmly: "The principle of the harmony of yin and yang goes up to the Shenxu and down to the secluded mansion. The combination of spirituality and Taoism is far from a small thing like lust, and it is not a dirty thing. Moreover, the heart of the sword is clear. Wherever you go is not a pure land without stains, a world of glazed glass?"
These words were what Ning Jiujiu said when he pulled her to practice the Yin Yang Grand Ceremony. Ning Jiujiu was beaten by her after she finished speaking. Now she repeated it in a serious manner, but it frightened Yazhu.
Yazhu looked at her serious look and was frightened by her fairy spirit. He couldn't refute her for a moment, feeling in his heart that Marry was jealous of her.
Yazhu still said: "Do you really don't need anyone else to go?"
"No need, that demon is very vicious, it's safest for me to go." Lu Marian said.
"Okay, senior sister, be careful." Yazhu did not insist.
Lu Yuai pointed out the sword in parallel, and the snow and fog on the mountain condensed into a slender sword as if commanded. Lu Yuai tapped her toes and stood on it. When she was about to control the sword, Shao Xiaoli said crisply. The voice of words sounded behind him.
"Sister Lu, where are you going? Why hasn't the boss come back yet?" Shao Xiaoli walked quickly up the hill.
Yazhu heard the sound and went away, taking a startled look.
A woman in a red dress with an alluring appearance and a slightly cold temperament suddenly appeared on the hilltop. Although her brows were deliberately soft and her voice was clear and pleasant, her black hair and red dress still exuded a vague murderous aura, as if she was born to be a queen.
She...who is she
Lu Marian stopped, walked back to the top of the mountain, and introduced: "Her name is Shao Xiaoli. She is a long-term friend of Ning. I brought her to visit today. I almost forgot to tell you."
Shao Xiaoli nodded in agreement.
Yazhu was shocked again and said, "Ning Jiujiu is back too?"
"Yes." Lu Married said: "He went to the Imperial City of Zhao State for business and will come back later."
Yazhu showed a relieved smile, "It's good that you are all fine."
After speaking, she looked at the ridiculously beautiful little girl and said, "Hello, Miss Li."
Shao Xiaoli greeted her respectfully. Since it is the boss's mountain, then everyone is his relative!
Yazhu explained to her: "There are demons in Nanzhou who are causing trouble. Marrying is going to investigate the situation and quell the turmoil, so I have to leave the peak for a while. If you feel bored, I can take you around."
Shao Xiaoli was a little surprised, "What is there in Nanzhou that is worthy of Sister Lu's personal action?"
Lu Marry said calmly: "It's just safer for me to come forward."
This obviously did not convince Shao Xiaoli. Shao Xiaoli looked at Yazhu with questioning eyes. Yazhu smiled helplessly and briefly talked about the Hehuan Sect.
"It's not a big deal..." Shao Xiaoli muttered.
Lu Marian said immediately: "Okay, don't delay any more, I'll go first, Yazhu, you take Xiaoli for a walk."
Yazhu smiled and nodded.
Shao Xiaoli reacted: "Wait!"
She looked at Yazhu and asked seriously: "What does the new leader of Hehuan Sect... look like?"
"It is said that he is a young devil in white clothes." Yazhu said.
Shao Xiaoli immediately looked at Lu Marion, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Sister Lu, it is our responsibility to eliminate demons and protect the Tao. Let Xiao Li go with you!"
Lu Marry replied calmly: "Your level is too low, don't cause trouble for me."
"Let's go together..."
"no."
Shao Xiaoli was unconvinced, "You just won't take me with you!"
Lu Marry lightly waved her sleeves and said, "You should concentrate on conquering the devil."
Shao Xiaoli puffed up his face and snorted coldly: "You... hum, then you have to be careful, don't feed the devil with your body!"
"No need for sister to remind you." Lu Married looked at Shao Xiaoli's angry look and smiled at her.
Yazhu looked a little confused and wondered whether people from China have such a strong sense of justice...
Lu Jianwen drove away with her sword.
Shao Xiaoli looked at the sword light that disappeared into the night, and his heart was full of frustration... Humph, what about subduing demons and slaying demons? I just want to drive Xiao Li away, and then the two of them can be alone... The holy Fairy of Righteousness and the evil Hehuan Sect demon ...Here, what are these two people playing at
It's too much, it's too much!
Shao Xiaoli was so angry that he stamped his feet.
…
The Imperial City of Zhao State.
Ning Jiujiu read the letter over.
The words on the letter disappeared after reading them - because they were not words themselves, but thoughts hidden in the box.
This thought came back to the old Taoist's mind. The old Taoist shuddered and suddenly shrank back into his chair, trembling with fear.
Ning Jiujiu calmed the old Taoist's consciousness with his Taoist secrets.
The old Taoist looked at him, his eyes widened, and said incoherently: "Isn't it scary... Many people have died. I told you this, and I am going to die too... By the way, there is you! You will die too, You will definitely die!"
Ning Changjiu's expression remained calm, "Don't be afraid, these things have passed and no one will come to hold you accountable."
"Impossible!" the old Taoist said resolutely: "After I came out of the imperial city, I was haunted by those evil spirits day and night, and I was cursed... You, if you didn't come today, I would be dead!"
Ning Jiujiu understood this matter and said: "This is the backlash of the Retrograde Disaster Sutra. Many Taoist priests must have died from this."
Four years ago, there was a fire in the Qianming Palace and the empress 'died'. The State of Zhao was in danger due to internal and external troubles. At that time, many Taoist priests were ordered by the witch master to enter the city to eliminate the trouble for the State of Zhao.
It now appears that many of the well-known Taoist priests sought by the witch master at that time actually received secret orders from the empress.
They were scattered all over the city, marching against the disaster relief formation, attracting demons from all directions, and making the royal city even more chaotic. The twists and turns of the fox demon and the sudden appearance of the soul-devourer seemed to be coincidences, but in fact they were driven by the destiny of the disaster. happened next.
If it weren't for him or his second senior brother, Xiang'er would most likely die in Suzaku's trap.
If Zhuque really wanted to kill Xiang'er, it would not be difficult. Why did she go through all the trouble
Ning Jiujiu guessed that it was related to the power of Xihe that she coveted.
"The Sutra of Disasters..." The old Taoist said with a trembling voice, "Yes! Sutra of Sutras of Disasters! This is a sinful debt, this is a retribution!"
Ning Jiujiu said seriously: "I will eliminate misfortune for you and cut off this cause and effect for you. From now on, you can live like an ordinary person, but you must not do evil, otherwise the disaster will happen again."
The old Taoist was not sure whether what he said was true or not, "You just owe me a copper coin, why do you want to help me? Besides... Besides...if you hadn't kicked me out of Prince Zhao's mansion, I would have been with other Taoist priests by now." They also died a violent death..."
Ning looked at the wooden boxes on the table for a long time and said, "Because you reminded me of something, which is very important."
The old Taoist still didn't understand. He looked at the box and said in a lower voice: "This is not a strange thing. There are some for sale in the market, called secret treasure boxes. If you are really interested, you can go and have a look."
Ning Jiujiu nodded.
It was this stacked box in the human world that almost deceived his proud Taiyin Eye.
His lunar eye can pass through things on a single layer without any problems, but once there is enough information interference, it is very likely that it will not be able to see through.
The gap between the Five Paths cultivators and the Dark Lord is huge, but there is also a world of difference between ordinary people and the Five Paths cultivators.
This ordinary secret treasure box deceived him, so is it possible for him to create a larger secret treasure box and deceive the existence above the sky
Ning Jiujiu's heartbeat quickened.
He calmly placed the letter in the middle and arranged the wooden boxes layer by layer as they were.
The old Taoist looked at everything he did and felt that he was more of a madman than himself.
Ning Jiujiu put the secret treasure box away and put it back in its original corner.
He looked at the old Taoist priest and clicked out three talismans, which fell on his eyebrows one by one. The light flickered in the room, and the little ghosts who were waiting for an opportunity outside the room all screamed. If you can't avoid it, it will turn into ashes and disappear.
After a while, the old Taoist suddenly came back to his senses. He felt that his body was much lighter, the feeling of being weighed down by mud was gone, and the feeling of dying was also gone.
He stared at the copper coin on the table for a while, and then stood up from the chair suddenly. He wanted to say thank you, but when he looked around, he saw that the young man in white had disappeared without a trace. Even if he wanted to pray for him in return, he couldn't. Can't remember his name.
Soon, he couldn't even remember the other person's face.
…
Ning stood on the long street in the night for a long time. The imperial city avoided him, and the people coming and going had nothing to do with him.
He walked alone through the streets and came to a restaurant.
This was the restaurant where he and Zhao Xiang'er had eaten when they were traveling around as a couple pretending to be heroes. He turned in easily, wanting to have some food and reminisce about the years he spent with Xiang'er.
He sat down by the window and ordered a small jar of wine. The waiter asked him what he wanted, but he only said some appetizers.
The waiter obeyed.
Ning Changjiu took out some private money from his sleeve.
Ning Changjiu was slightly surprised when the food and drinks came.
He understood that the appetizer was something like peanuts and lotus root slices, but what was served was indeed a cut pig's trotter, with finely chopped leeks sprinkled on top.
"The food and wine you are serving... are quite extraordinary." Ning Changjiu said.
The waiter was slightly startled. He pointed to the menu on the wall and said, "Isn't this what the customer ordered? This is the signature of our store."
Ning Changjiu followed his hand.
The first line on the wall menu he saw was 'Xiajiucai'.
Recalling the memories, he took away the two most beautiful empresses and sword immortals in Nanzhou at the same time, which caused everyone to criticize him. It was at that time that Jiuna was decided, and now he has retained it and has become the local name. customs.
He looked at the big pig's trotters on the plate, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said:
"Well, this is what I ordered."
The waiter breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was from a foreign country and had made a mistake.
Ning Jiujiu took two random bites and then felt something was not right.
Shimokushi…
Why do I have a bad feeling
He pinched his fingers in his sleeves and narrowed his eyes. After simply eating and paying, he immediately set out to control the sword and return to the Hehuan Sect.
At this moment, the elder who successfully escaped to the Yujian Tianzong to file a complaint is still feeling complacent, thinking that he is so lucky to have caught up with the mysterious Sword Sect leader returning to the sect. God helps me this time, and I think that the troubled Hehuan Sect must be The devil will definitely be killed!
It didn't take much time for Ning Chang to control his sword and return to his sect.
When he returned to the sect, the whole sect was solemn and quiet. Seeing Ning Changjiu come back, He Guang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What happened?" Ning Changjiu asked.
He Guang said: "The elder who escaped earlier went to Yujian Tianzong to complain. Tianzong sent people to investigate. We have explained it to the fairy, but the fairy doesn't believe it and insists on waiting for you to come back and interrogate him personally."
Ning Jiujiu sighed and asked knowingly, "I wonder which fairy from Yujian Tianzong it is?"
He Guang said in a low voice: "What a coincidence, the person who came here is your master Lu Marian. She should be traveling around at this moment, but for some reason she came back today... Lord Sect Leader, you... I'm sorry you didn't do anything. Is it about your master?"
Ning Changjiu shook his head gently, with a normal expression, and said, "Don't worry, I will have a good talk with her."
Although He Guang knew that they were the righteous party, he was still a little worried, fearing that they had some personal grudges.
He Guang retreated from the crowd, Ning Changjiu walked forward, and stopped at the entrance of the palace.
The disciples looked at him.
This immortal young man who easily defeated the former leader of the Hehuan Sect actually bowed respectfully to the door and said: "I don't know that the master is riding high. I am not welcomed from afar, but I still hope that the master will atone for his sins."
The other disciples were shocked.
They had made some guesses about the origin of this immortal before, but they did not expect that he was the disciple of the most mysterious female swordsman in Nanzhou.
Is this... really a famous teacher giving birth to a good disciple
When the master of the Sword Sect came, many disciples were panicked and worried about the immortal, but they were also looking forward to whether he could surprise everyone with his skills and subdue the Sword Sect fairy. Now it seems that there is no way to fight...
The disciples looked on in amazement. If Shao Xiaoli were here, they would probably angrily yell, "You guys really know how to play!" '
The fairy in the palace seemed to be deliberately snubbing him. Ning stood there for a long time before a cold voice came out:
"Disciple, let's go into the palace and talk."
Ning Jiujiu turned around, looked at the disciples, and said, "You should go back first. I will have a long talk with the master. The master comes from a righteous and famous family, so he should be able to understand me."
Many disciples who just want to watch the fun are obviously not willing to leave, but the current scene is very likely that the fairy master is giving this disciple a face. When he enters the temple later, he may be severely punished. If there is a scolding at that time, it will bring disgrace to the immortal.
They received great kindness from the Immortal, and since he gave the order, everyone left with good intentions even though they were a lot reluctant to leave.
Ning Jiujiu pushed open the palace door and walked in.
Lu Marry sat on the sect master's seat, looked at him with a half-smile, and said leisurely: "My disciple is so capable, but he only went out for half a day and made such a big noise. He really doesn't want to calm down for a moment. .”
Ning Jiujiu smiled, closed the palace door, and said, "It's my fault that I kept the master waiting for so long. Well, by the way, where is that girl Xiao Li?"
Lu Marian said: "Don't worry about it, I asked Xiao Li to stay in the clan."
Ning Jiujiu smiled and said: "It turns out that Master came alone."
Lu Marry said calmly: "I am enough to deal with you, the scoundrel."
Ning Jiujiu sat down next to Lu Marry. He looked at the woman's soft but cold cheek and said, "Master really cares about the common people."
Lu Marian turned her body slightly, holding her soft chin, staring at Ning Changjiu faintly, and said: "What is going on with the head of the Hehuan Sect? Are you trying to fulfill your dream that you have had for many years?"
Ning Jiujiu said: "Didn't they explain it to you?"
"I want to hear your own explanation." Lu Marian said.
Ning Jiujiu smiled helplessly and said, "I will obey my master's orders."
Ning Jiujiu summarized the matter, and while speaking with righteous indignation, he also described his image of supporting justice in a fairy-like manner.
Lu Marry caught the key point from his colorful words, "Did you secretly exchange the Hehuan Sect's martial arts with the Sword Sect's sword skills?"
"..." Ning Jiujiu thought about it and said, "Don't you realize the secret of it, right?"
Lu Marian frowned, her expression cold.
Ning Jiujiu immediately said: "Disciple knows that he was wrong, and I hope master can forgive me."
Lu Marian nodded lightly. Of course she wouldn't mind this, she just wanted to incriminate him.
She asked: "We will leave sooner or later in the future. Now that you are the sect master here, you can't stay here for a few days. What are you going to do?"
Ning Jiujiu said: "Cause and effect are too heavy in the world. I didn't plan to stay long. But I will draw a picture of myself and let him sit in my place. The painting will not be contaminated by cause and effect."
Lu Marry asked uncertainly: "Will it not be discovered?"
"Just let the painting stay in the palace for a long time and maintain a sense of mystery. When the time comes, we will establish a set of rules. You can transfer some people from Yujian Tianzong to help manage it. It should be no big deal." Ning Jiujiu said.
Lu Marry said coldly: "You are trying to push yourself too far. Our Sword Sect is a well-known and authentic sect. Why should I transfer people to you, the leader of a cult?"
If it had been in the past, Ning Jiujiu would probably have recognized it, but now he has an additional identity as the ancestor of the Hehuan Sect. In order to maintain the dignity of his previous life, he will never recognize the word cult.
"Master, as a righteous fairy, haven't you praised Hehuan Sect's mysterious Taoism in the past?" Ning Jiujiu said.
"Yes, yes..." Lu Marian's face turned slightly red, her eyes averted slightly, and she said, "You are so arrogant, I don't believe your nonsense."
Ning Jiujiu followed the temptation well, "Marrying has a sharp eye like a torch, and he should be able to see the profound mysteries of the Yin-Yang Towering Ceremony. However, this method is too profound. They only learned some superficial knowledge and did not get the essence. I have re-drawn the mental method. In the future, Zong Ding will carry forward and become the sun and moon of Nanzhou together with Jian Zong."
Lu Marian was doubtful. She still couldn't accept the fact that her husband suddenly became the head of the Hehuan Sect.
She spread her hand and said, "Bring it to me and see."
Ning Jiujiu took it over.
There is actually... Lu Marian was shocked.
She read it once and thought about it for a while. She did feel that it was mysterious and unusual, but she always felt that it was a scam...
"Do you have such a deep understanding of this technique?" Lu Marion became more and more surprised as she looked at it.
Ning Jiujiu sighed and said: "To be honest, the original founder of this technique thousands of years ago was..."
He pointed at himself.
Lu Marian raised her head. She stared into Ning Jiuchuan's eyes for a while to make sure he wasn't lying.
Lu Marry's clear eyes flashed, and after a long while she sarcastically said: "You are really a rare talent in the world of cultivation."
"Master is too complimentary..."
"Do you have any other identity?"
"I am also very curious."
"In the future, I may visit various cults more often. Maybe I will be surprised."
“…”
The two chatted for a while. Lu Marian read the classic book and felt that the classic book explained the profound things in simple terms and was really good. After reading it, she even felt enlightened and wanted to try it out.
She looked indifferently and said, "You are so busy doing this, don't you have any other purpose?"
Ning Jiujiu put away the secret book, smiled and said: "I was so amazing and talented in my previous life, of course the secrets of this book are more than that."
With that said, he stretched out his hand and called out the Golden Crow.
The golden crow illuminates the palm prints brightly.
"I don't know if I calculated it until today in my previous life, or... it's just a coincidence." Ning pondered for a moment and said, "Marry, you come with me."
The golden light illuminated the main hall brightly.
The two disappeared into the palace.
Ning Jiujiu brought Lu Wenwen to the vast Golden Crow Kingdom.
"Building a divine kingdom requires mythical logic, and at the same time, there must be a way for the heaven and earth to reproduce and cycle on their own. For example, in Linhe City, Madam Bai ordered Ning to capture the water, and connect the yellow spring end to end, which is how the heaven and earth circulate. One of the means of reciprocation.”
As Ning Jiujiu spoke, he led Lu Wenwen to a high place, and the two of them looked down together.
"In the past, I have been thinking about how to establish an existence like the fetal spirit mother well. I couldn't figure it out, but the complete Yin and Yang Towering Ceremony gave me great inspiration."
As Ning Jiujiu said this, his white clothes were covered with the flowing shadows of sparks. He pointed at a certain place and drew a perfect circle, delineating that place as a well.
He continued: "Although the Kingdom of God also breeds creatures, the Kingdom of God is not a real world. The creatures it breeds pay more attention to 'spirit' rather than 'life'. Therefore, the creation of creatures in the Kingdom of God does not require wind, rain, thunder and lightning. It doesn’t need hundreds of millions of years of evolution, all it needs is to build a self-consistent logic with the Kingdom of God.”
"And the Yin Yang Towering Ceremony is such a Taoist method."
"I even think that this was one of the cornerstones of the ancient Sun Kingdom."
Ning Jiujiu was very calm when he said these words, but as an orthodox fairy, Lu Jiaojiu always found it difficult to accept the words "Hehuan Sect".
Ning Jiujiu suddenly smiled with relief and said: "In short, this will definitely be our country in the future. I will build a prosperous Sun Kingdom for you, but... this may require our joint efforts."
Lu Marry looked at the vast Kingdom of God and felt a sense of belonging in her heart. She looked at Ning Changjiu's sincere eyes and relaxed.
"Yeah." She smiled and nodded.
Ning Chang fell into the circle he had drawn previously.
He recited the Tao secretly in his mouth.
The yang is taught by the yin, the male and female have beards, the crown is separated from the crown, the light reflects down...
There was a sensation in the world around him, and an indescribable aura came slowly like a spring breeze. Two completely different yet complementary invisible objects floated in the air. They slowly sank and enveloped his whole body. Thin wisps of smoke lingered around his sleeves, like a vast expanse of white water. A leaping dragon.
Under the glow of the sparks, Ning Changjiu's white clothes shimmered like a real god.
He opened his eyes and looked at Lu Jieyou with peaceful eyes.
Lu Marry gently landed next to him and stretched out her hand.
The two put their palms together.
The Taoist formulas of the Yin and Yang Towering Ceremony were executed simultaneously, and the mysterious aura was like the scorching sun jumping out on the horizon, giving life to this lonely divine kingdom again.
The bonds of the human world are about to be severed, and the Kingdom of God has finally begun to reshape itself.
There is no need to go into details tonight, they will meditate on the wonderful Dharma together until dawn.
